Plymouth State University - Conning Tower Yearbook (Plymouth, NH)

Text from Pages 1 - 188 of the 1983 volume:

You know, it’s easy to remember what it all looked like. Every season had its own flavor, every building had its own personality. Do you recall the natural atmosphere so peaceful and pretty that it could often evoke a thriving feeling of awe? It could also bring out an exultant smile, a desire to go jump in the leaves. Knowledge and learning were among our goals at college. How noble were our aims (if no always our accomplishments) at acquiring some fraction of intelligence. And, although we did live on an isolated hill of academia, we could not ignore the rest of the turbulent, changing world. Yes, there were our friends, and so many of them. There were comforting times spent one-on-one with a close companion. There were also times spent with many people, singing, joking, laughing, whether quiet or boisterous, these times with friends were good ones, teaching us about the importance of caring for other people. What a warm feeling it is to think of those friends, and how wonderful it would be to see them again. “Mms-sana in gQrporc.saiiQ,” A sound mind in a sound body—that’s what sports were all about. And, whether we actively participated or just watched from the sidelines, we all seemed to enjoy those organized athletics. There was the excitement of cheering for your favorite team or player, and there was also that thrill of competitive spirit that welled up when you were out there, playing. There was always a lot to do—parties, concerts, dances, plays. Social events could be created at a moment’s notice, commemorating any holiday or event that might strike your fancy. A first day of spring party or an impromptu dance contest in-a dorm room. These festivities could also be part of time-honored traditions, occasions marked year after year. But these celebrations never lost their freshness or vitality, and we enjoyed them each year anew. We finally left that place, that place where we spent four years growing and learning, experiencing happiness and pain, winning and losing, laughing and crying. But always living. 12 Sue (fiiplill Homecoming Queen l )X2 (see pg. 2 ) With Ibis issue of Ihc Conning Tower yearbook of Plymouth State College, wc of the staff wish to provide for you the students, and our audience in general, an accurate record of the school year that was 1982-1983. Our aim was to be fair, truthful and comprehensive. I believe we have achieved the goal. After your take a quick glance through, after you have located the photos of you and your friends, take a few minutes to take a deep look. Take a few minutes to read this book. There arc 184 pages in this book. When we set out to begin work on the 1983 Conning Tower, wc had 184 blank pages. That is a pretty scarcy thing. Our first obstacle to overcome was to create a new book for you. The 1982 Conning Tower was a huge success, yet wc had to be careful not to make a carbon copy of it with only the names and dates changed. This book has the same idea as the '82. to show your school as it is. as you see it. and also in ways you may not have seen it before, yet the '83 docs this without falling prey to riding on the coat-tails of a past success. I mentioned reading this book, and I'm talking about the writing. Who among us cannot remember the experience of being a freshman. (page 62) or that of being an elementary school student? (page 68) These two stories included in the 1983 Conning Tower arc one person's view, yet arc settings and situations I believe most of us can relate to. Donna Byrne's commentary of plays performed at Silver Mall revive our memories of the triumphs enjoyed there as docs John Garner's round-up on Plymouth State sports. This is our second year using John's lively writing, and I believe the book has never had such a readable, thorough sports section. Aside from the copy, there is the layout. Wc have tried to bring you information in an exciting way. and subtle as it may be. our layout is one of the ways wc do this. As you flip through the Conning Tower, you will notice a modern, up-to-date magazine approach to laying out yearbook pages. Perhaps you would like to compare it to your high school yearbook or an old issue of The Conning Tower. Our layouts help create the sophisticated look a school like Plymouth State deserves to be shown in. Finally there arc the pictures. Large, clean, clear photos arc the forte of this book. Our photographers have done an outstanding job of bringing you 1982-1983 in great photos. This book remembers 1982-1983 as wc saw it. I hope it's how you saw it too. And should you take it off the shelf in 20 years, brush off the dust, leaf through it and find it dated, well, that’s the intention behind it. The look of the Conning Tower is very 1983. the feel is very 1983. in short the book is very 1983. Ketin Danic Editor CONNING TOWER STAFF Advisor ................

What is U. that all of these have in common? If you've guessed that they were all spoken or heard tjcWhcje on the Plymouth State College campus on or near September 7. 1982. then you are September 7 was “Moving-in Day 1982. How could you forget? Moving-in to dorms, apartments, or houses to start a new semester means many different things to many different people. To some, it is the start of a new life filled with independence and plenty of new experiences. To others, it represents the start of a tedium, an activity that has been repeated over and over again. To some it is seen as the official end to the sun and fun of summer activities, and to others it is a welcome release from the drudgery of summer employment. Is there a common thread to all these different ideas about moving-in? What is it that everyone can say about “Moving-in Day 1982? Moving-in is TRIPS. Trips back and forth to the car. truck, or trailer. Trips to the bursar, registrar, or union. Trips to meetings, meals, and parties. Trips to Newberry’s Ames, and Volpe's. And. most of all. no matter how you feel about it. moving-in is definitely and experience. 21 1 M ave you ever torn down signs, broken windows, or shot off a fire extinguisher in Mary Lyon Hall? If you did, were you confronted by a woman who stood with her hands on her hips and said, Do you realize that this is unacceptable behavior? May I sec some identification?” Well, that woman may have been me. After two years on Mary Lyon’s second floor, though, I am taking down my shingle, an R” and an A” with a “G” tacked on the end by some resident who liked me especially well. When I write my memoirs some years from now. I’ll have a very lengthy chapter about being an RA. The chapter will be divided into sections, I think, each one relating different experiences. maybe all the way through the alphabet from A to Z. The experiences for the letter A” arc very easy to think of off hand. I can’t think of an RA who won't admit to having lots of encounters with individuals who are best described by a seven letter word that starts with the letter A. “B,” without a doubt stands for bums, especially naked ones. Like the night when I was on duty and we had a young man who delighted in showing his naked bum to anyone who happened to be standing behind him. When campus security came, he got to sit on his naked bum on the front, very cold steps of Mary Lyon for a couple of hours. We all thought that it was pretty funny. 1 guess that you could say that he was one of those individuals who is best described by a seven letter word beginning with the letter A.” Crab Counseling would have to be my words for the letter C.” Sometimes I think that if I have to tell one more person that you can't get crabs from a toilet scat, I will just die. Late nights on duty is my word for the letter L.” I never could figure out why residents always think that roommate problems, boyfriend problems, health problems, family problems, and academic problems are easier to solve at two AM. “N” stands for names, especially those of the four letter variety. Since the first day that I got this job, I’ve been called more names than I ever could have read on bathroom walls, in dirty novels, or heard in any movie in the Combat Zone. Talk about exposure. “P” is panic. Like what you do when someone faints in the shower, punches her hand through a window, or tells you that the dorm is about to be raided by 100 guys from Grafton bent on revenge, and you don’t know what to do first. The best word that I can think of for S” is shower. Like the time just last semester when I chased a gentleman who had just broken a window all through the dorm. I found him, though, on the third floor hiding in the shower. It wasn’t a bright place to hide, however, because I was so mad about the time and effort that it had taken me to catch him that I reached my little hand into the shower and turned the cold water on full blast. Another A” word bites the dust. The people who I work with all agree that U” has to stand for urinators. They wanted something more graphic that begins with a different letter, but we decided to keep it clean. One night last semester, just about a week after the “A” word in the shower An “R” And An “A” With A Tacked On The End emoirs Of A Resident Assistant By Donna Mayhew “G” incident, we kicked two young men out of the dorm because they were harassing some of the girls. When they got out on the front steps, they urinated all over the windows using sweeping motions that spelled some of those names of the four letter variety that I mentioned earlier. It was quite a sight. Don’t think that being an RA is all bad. though. The good things that happen just don’t make for an interesting discussion. I Think That If I Have To Tell One More Person That You Can't Get Crabs From A Toilet Seat, I Will Just Die. and most of the bad things are pretty funny to think about once a day. month, or. in a few cases, years have passed. I’m sure that, given the chance. I'd do it all over again. Anyway, it'll be the most exciting chapter in my book. Dormitory Resident Assistants arc frequently misunderstood, and. in many cases do not get the recognition they deserve. In an effort to correct this problem, this year's housing staff has initiated a new award—the R.A. of the year. Selection is based on the individual's outstanding service as well as service beyond the requirements of the resident assistant job description. The recipients arc selected based on their nomination by fellow R.A.s and the final decision is made by the Resident Directors and the Directors of Housing. This year's recipient was Ann Ciaraldi who was very active in her work in Blair Hall and who was recognized for her efforts in the campus wide alcohol awareness program. The R.A.s who received honorable mentions were Shelia Hingst of Pcmi Hall and Cathy Davis of Belknap Hall. [LjI 23 When University System of New Hampshire Chancellor Bruce R. Poulton accepted the position as chancellor of North Carolina State University, Dr. Kasper C. Marking, Plymouth State College’s president, became one of the candidates for his position. In early February, the field was narrowed to two candidates, and President Marking remained one of those considered. Then, on Wednesday, February 23, 1983, Marking was officially appointed as the new chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire. Dr. Kasper C. Marking has served as P.S.C.’s president since 1977. Prior to that year, he served as the President of Briar Cliff College in Sioux City, Iowa and as Dean of the College at Minot State College in Minot, North Carolina. His public service accomplishments include serving as the Chairman of the Postsecondary Education Commission and the Chairman of the Planning Committee of the New Hampshire Postsccondary Education Commission. He is active in Rotary International, the Chamber of Commerce, and served on the Board of Directors of Sccva Speare Hospital in Plymouth. Dr. Marking received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon in 1952, and earned his Ph.D. from Washington State University in New York in 1954. When Dr. Marking received his appointment as University System Chancellor, trustee Lillian Bailey said, “When Marking came to P.S.C., people told me that Kas Marking was going to bring Plymouth out of the pit’ and he has done just that. He has excellent listening skills, humor, and a lot of wit. He has the whole campus behind him.” And the whole campus will miss him. The Senior Class of 1983 is proud to dedicate this issue of The Conning Tower yearbook to Chancellor Kasper C. Marking. often wish that when I started here at Plymouth State College, some kind soul would have given me a list entitled: “THINGS THAT EVERY UNORGANIZED AND CONFUSED INDIVIDUAL SHOULD DO BEFORE GRADUATION.” I am positive that with the help of such a list, I would not be in the mess that I am in. Right now, for instance, I have an appointment for a credit check sometime in January of 1986. My placement file, and all the papers that explain how to make one, have been misplaced, and, as for my “Intent to Graduate Form,” well, lets just say that I hope they’ll let me graduate without it. To make matters even worse, I tried to sign up for all easy courses this year, since it was my last one here. I figured that I’d need a little extra time to make up for all the parties I missed in the past three years. Anyway, I found out that what some people think is easy isn’t necessarily what is easy for me. How was I supposed to know that you had to be able to swim to pass “Underwater Basket Weaving 1”? And, while we are on the subject of courses, I can’t forget to mention all those required courses that I need for my major and haven’t taken yet. Of course, they really depend on what my major is this week. Speaking of majors, have you ever thought about applying for a job without having any idea about what your “field-to-be” is? At least I have a good excuse for why all those job applications are still in my bottom drawer. Oh, and listen to this, do you believe that they won’t let me graduate until I clear my account at the library? They’re trying to tell me that I owe $64.11. Imagine that. And, it isn’t even my fault. How do they expect me to remember that book I left on Mary Lyon’s front steps in the rain or the one I left at the cafe that got stolen. As if I asked for that stuff to happen. How an I supposed to rememer about two books when I have so many other things on my mind? How many of you know what a “Loan Exit Interview’’ is? Me either. And, I still need one of those too. The Senior Cruise, Senior Picnic, Senior Pub, Senior Tubing Day . . . How can I go to all of them and still study for finals? Oh, and how am I supposed to go on the Senor Cruise without a new dress? All these expenses and I don’t even have a summer job yet. I have to pick up my cap and gown, my announcements, and think about what I want my parents to give me for graduation. I have to get all my friend’s addresses and telephone numbers. You know, I’ll probably never see any of them again after graduation. God, I’m depressed, Maybe I should hang around for another year. 26 li Hosted by the Conning Tower Yearbook Staff The festivities started Thursday, with the voting of a Homecoming King and in the College Union Building from 10am to 4pm. Friday events included an alumni basketball game at Foley Gym. For an pleasure, “Dario”, the juggler performed during half-time. After the game there was a spectacular firework display. On Saturday morning, the events began at 9:30am with the alumni Women’s Soccer game at the Panther Soccer field. The Homecoming parade began at 1 lam, with a float bearing members from the Class of 1947 leading the way around campus and into town. There were 31 pieces entered into the Homecoming parade, 22 of which arc floats representing fraternities, sororities, dormitories and other organizations. Meanwhile, back at the Panther soccer field, the men’s soccer team took on Husson College beginning at 12:00. The exciting day continued with the big game. The Plymouth Panthers battled it out with the Massachusetts team. The remainder of Saturday was left open for students, faculty, alumni and assorted guests to celebrate the ending of another successful Homecoming.

The date: Saturday. Oct. 16. The place: Foley Gym. The crowd is ready; the band is ready; and it’s time; We’re Having a Party! Weeks of anticipation came to a climax this weekend with the appearance of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The reaction: Awesome! It's 8:00 and priming the folks for the main event were Cub Koda and company. No one appeared to be disappointed. The mood was electric from the start as Cub, former lead guitarist and vocalist for Brownsville Station, kept up a frenzied pace through such recognizable hits as “Satisfaction:. Susie Q’ and “Wild Thing”. He closed with Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room , a hit which Brownsville made famous This really seemed to pick up the crowd and set the mood for Southside. It was 9:15; the lights were dim; and it was time. Southside and the Jukes exploded from the gate and it was nonstop from there. From the start with Talk to Me’’, it was obvious that they were here to party. Johnny worked the crowd with his own brand of humor and infectious style to create a pulsating mass. This phenomenon pro- grcsscd through Trapped Again and The Boss ' The Fever . Exceptional throughout were the instrumentals, especially the horn section and an intense duo drum solo. 1 Don't Want to Go Home was the popular sentiment and the song that had everyone moving. We’re Having a Party culminated the concert and had the crowd screaming for more. We weren't disappointed as Southsidc and the Jukes came back for two encores before calling it a night. From here. South-side and the Jukes go into the Studio to cut an album, due to be released in the spring. Their farewell performance of the year was nothing short of spectacular.

Stompers Disappoint Their PSC Fans Clock Article: March 3. 1983 The Stompers � olcd Boston's number one band in the recent Calendar Magazine reader's poll, appeared at Silver I (all Friday. February 25 in an EPIC presentation. The Boardwalk Records recording artists went through the motion, however, it was a half-hearted effort compared to the band's last appearance here two years ago. After listening to an opening performance by the Lynn Laprad Band, the crowd of an estimated 400 anxiously awaited the band that finished ahead of the J. Gcils Band in the Calendar poll. A half an hour later, Sal Baglio and Co. stepped on stage and proceeded to play. “Coast to Coast. a favorite among the local club scene was the first song of the night and it appeared as if a good time would be had by all. The next number “Shutdown. continued to enthuse the small gathering. Following Shutdown Baglio staled it was the quality not the quantity of the crowd that would make the show an enjoyable one. Along with these two songs, their next number. First Kiss. will be on the first Stompers’ album to be released in a month. You're the One. which featured Baglio on guitar, followed. Sal then proceeded to slow things down a Baglio. a disappointment. bit with Temptation. Rock Jump and Holler. a sixties number, got things rockin' again and then each band member was featured in She’s and Angel. Another oldie but goodie, the “Wanderer. by Dion and the Belmonts, featured Dave Friedman on the keyboards. The crowd also got involved in this one. Summer Girls. prccccdcd by a slow instrumental introduction, reminded everyone of the Club Casino. Hampton Beach and the summertime. Sal then took us back to the sixties with versions of Pipeline and Wipe-Out”. With everyone exhausted, the four band members abandoned their instruments and clapped along with the audience as Sal began to speak the lyrics to Palisades Park. ; this is the highlight to any Stompers performance. Drummer Mark Coock Cuchinclli. bassist Steve Gilligan. Friedman and Baglio then went on to sing and play “Palisades Park. It is always a treat to see Friedman leave the keyboards and dance like he did Friday night. The Stompers closed out the evening with American Fun. the song that made the Stompers. It was a good show but it was the first time in a long while that the Stompers did not come back for an encore. For now. the Stompers arc history at PSC. 37 The White Mountain Cafe March 14 saw the first White Mountain C afe-Coffeehouse by EPIC featuring Tiger's Baku. Tiger’s Baku is a prominent, progressive jazz band from the Boston area. The very talented lead musician of the group. Tiger Okoshi. played just about every horn imaginable from the french trumpet to an electrical horn. The band had all types of music lovers who attended, enjoying their original music and some old style jazz. too. It was a real treat to have a well-respected jazz band appear at PSC. Comedian Musician, Marty Bear, entertained students at Plymouth State at another EPIC Coffeehouse in Hall Commons on April 24. Most of the audience was in stitches laughing during his entire performance as he kept the audience thoroughly involved in his many comic routines and songs. This talented man has a way of relating to the audience on a personal level. Marty Bear—a talented and fun entertainer to listen to. 38 39 IruistU, v PARTIES of the 1980’s are just plain TACKY. By Donna Mayhew This year I was invited to several tacky parties. Were you? I don't mean tacky parties, where people dress and act in poor taste bc: cause they are taslclcss and shoddy, but Tacky Parties , where people dress and act tasteless and shoddy because they arc not. Do you understand? Don’t feel bad if you don't, it took me awhile too. When I received my first invitation. I wasn't exactly sure if I should have been flattered or not. I mean, was I invited because my charm and bubbling personality makes a party more enjoyable, or because the inviters thought that I had a wardrobe that was suitable enough to make me fit the part? Do you sec what I mean? Anyway, as Tacky Party invitations gradually started to replace the Toga Party invitations which had once jammed my mailbox, it occured to me that “Animal House Toga Parties, which had once ruled the campus party scene, were being upsurped by the Tacky Party, that cotton sheets have been replaced by polyester stretch pants, and that Otis Day and the Knights' “Shout has been superseded by Three Dog Night and Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog . (Frankly. I was disappointed. Not only does all this represent the passing of an age, but also, cotton is so much cooler and more comfortable than polyester double-knit. Wouldn't you agree?) Since I was chaste and inexperienced when invited to my first Tacky Parly. I was in a real diicma. Of course, the personality or wardrobe question had me very concerned, but even that became incidental when compared to life's greatest question, “What do I wear? w hich I asked myself over and over and over. I’m sure that you can understand my confusion. It is easy to recognise that something that I think is really tacky might be seen as high fashion to someone else or vice versa. For instance. I have this sweatsuit that I just love, and that I could wear everyday if that wasn't such a disgusting habit to get into, and if my friends didn't claim it was tacky. So needless to say. this first invitation put me into a panic. If you think that worrying how you should dress for your first date made you nervous, just wait until you have to dress for your first tacky party. It was nearly enough to drive me to drink . . In the end I decided to sit on the fence and settled for something moderately tacky. I dressed in a t-shirt that proclaimed The Best Beer Drinkers Arc From Plymouth. Nil and showed an illustration of a man who looked as if he lived in Plymouth and spent seven nights a week at Toby's; I also wore a satin jacket (I had to have something to cover that t-shirt.) and my ski-doo boots, which arc another one of those things that I just love 3nd other people don't. It turns out that I was grossly under-dressed. Polyester leisure suits were the rage. 60 “Polyester leisure suits were the rage, as were love beads, loud ties and curlers. ________________________________ as were love beads, loud lies and curlers. Something I forgot that nobody else seemed to was scent. The place recked of Brut and “Love's Baby Soft . Truly Tacky. I really started to get into the mood of the place, enjoying keg beer from my favorite glass that I got at McDonalds, (it has a picture of Holly Hobby imprinted on it. I'm sure you've seen one like it.) when I noticed a change had overcome me. I turned to the girl beside me and said, Isn't this the grooviest pad you ever dug in your whole life? To which she replied. Oh. it's so bitchin', and the whole place is just deluxe! I just love your boots, they're au curant! We had started speaking tacky. The whole place had. It was nearly too much to take. Around the time that I started making myself nauscaus with my tasteless use of language. the Partridge Family came over the stereo. Being of the generation raised on the television show and the proud owner of every Partridge Family album ever made. I had to get up to dance. I can’t remember much after that, but I remember that I had great fun. Everyone did. To coin one of my favorite tacky phrases. A good time was had by all . The Rookies: The Adventure Of Being A Freshman Oh God. What a day! I've been up since 7:00 and here it is dinner time already and I haven't stopped yet. What the hell am I doing here in Plymouth, New Hampshire anyway? I really feel like screaming, but screaming is practically impossible around here. You have to be quiet in the library, and you’d have to have a voice louder than Ethel Merman to overpower the other freshmen down the hall who blast their stereo 24 hours a day. Oh God, all this and I haven’t even been here 48 hours yet. . . I really hope that things improve though I guess that they could be worse, couldn't they? Remember being a freshman? There are certainly easier things in the world to be—like a sophomore or junior or senior. Despite the laborious efforts of sabers to case the transition into college life, the differences between life in high school and life at Plymouth State arc so huge that freshman orientation and all of the opening week activities arc given, not as an adjustment period, but as a compensatory apology for what is to follow. The first thing that most freshmen notice is how late they are going to bed. Just a little peer pressure at work here. Although midnight is often quite late to stay up during the week, only real rejects and seniors have the good sense to retire this early, and even most seniors aren't that smart. Freshmen, it seems, become night owls by social proxy. Similarly, freshmen have to go through the rigorous job of doing tons of homework without seeming overly worried about it. “I have a major exam in financial accounting tomorrow,” one might say, but it'll be a breeze. This time devoted to acting unconcerned could, of course, have been spent on more productive activities, like sleeping or, heaven forbid, like studying. Then, of course, there are the “firsts”—the first beer, the first joint, the first “F,” the first romance—all designed by some other being to fill the freshman with wonder: “How could all of this be happening to me?” Or, alternately, “What did I do to deserve this?” One reason things are so tough for freshmen is that the idea of “choice arises for the first time. The choice between booze and books, or study and sleep, or classes and carousing, is very real and genuine. Here at Plymouth there are no nagging parents, unless yours calls once or twice a week as mine does. The decision making that we are forced to learn here is a training of utmost importance for when we leave this “fake” world for the “real” one, and as freshman we are forced to learn to cope. Freshman year is an unusually exhilarating time for many. There isn’t a student pictured in this yearbook who doesn’t have some amazing and special stories to tell: “Remember the time we got so drunk at that party at Fox Run and came back to the dorm and painted smiley faces on all the toilet scats?” The adventures continue through the rest of the years, and so does the learning, but neither seems quite the same as they did as a freshman.

So, why is it that in this house full of people you don’t recognize a soul? 1 came to the logical conclusion that something was dreadfully wrong. From there I came to the next logical conclusion that the problem wasn’t with me or with my friend, Mr. Kfcg. After all, 1 was soon to be a college graduate, and my cumulative average was above a 3.0. How could something so major be wrong with me? So, if the problem,wasn’t with me. then it had to be AliH THESE STRANGE lO ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT'' verbial question was to stay with weeks to come as I noticed these ould they be from another over the campus as soon a ts go on and the clock in Ro ungodly hour.

My final conclusion: ARE THE STRANGE PEOPLE ONLY' COME OUT AT NIGHT. v VVv- In THE STORY THUS FAR. : Our heroes, Homer and Hortense, discuss the woes of cafeteria life. This edition, the talk continues. I poured the tomato rice soup into the warmer and tried to keep a steady hand as the steam rose off the hot liquid, singeing the hair on my arms and covering me with a tomato film that I would sweat out as the day progressed. I looked up in time to get a lecture from a girl with a bulgeing peanut butter sandwich, about the runnincss of the ketchup. I gave her my best guiltless look and shrugged. “Sorry,” I told her, “but I don’t have anything to do with ketchup. You’ll have to speak to Vi.” She huffed off. dripping a trail from her sloppy sandwich. Before 1 had taken a breath, my name was being yelled from the other end of the cafeteria. “Alma needs more egg salad and dry tuna,” one of the food servers informed me. “Edic needs Syrian bread, ham salad and cold plates. Don't even try to bring her hot plates because she’ll scream at you. The third line is out of knockwerst, the first line needs more ham and rice medley and I need chicken tetrazini. By the way, my name is Bambi. Welcome to the cafe, is this your first day? That was my first day. I’ve been a food runner at Prospect Dining Hall for three years now. Most days arc like My first one. mm You think that’s bad! Try standing over the liver and onions for two hours! Once I was in my Admin. Policy class, and some guy in the third row behind me commented to his fraternity brothers, “Hey, did anyone else catch a whif of the ‘cau de liver and onions’ when that chick up there came in the room?!’’ I knew he was talking about me, I didn’t even have to turn around. I became well known for the smells I would carry with me that first class after I finished working lunch at the cafe. People avoided me for group work. Cafeteria work is a thankless job. We folks lucky enough to have jobs there are heroes to few and enemies to mam A Take for example the day we were serving tuna noodle casserolle: just before work at five minutes of eleven, the “higher-ups” came up from the offices on the bottom floor with their white shirts and tics on. They paced back and forth with determined authority and instructed us on the proper ammount of casserolle to put on each plate. “Not one and a half spoonfuls”, they would say, not two spoonfuls, but one and three-quarters spoonfuls.” 1 just looked up and smiled. 1 didn’t even bother to ask them how I can put exactly one and three-quarters spoonfuls on nearly a thousand plates during the lunch rush. Orders disbursed, they disappeared down the stairs again. An hour and a half later, I gave up trying to measure out one and three-quarters spoonfuls, especially since I was urged to do so by a line of twenty guys, all muscles, the smallest of whom looked to be seven feet tall. Just as the first in the line of them reached my station, one of the “higher-ups came up from the bowels of cafeteria and stood behind me looking over my shoulder. I carefully measured the required one and three-quarters again aware of the boss’s presence. As I handed it to Mr. Hulking Giant, he started to bitch at me. Before I could explain my helpless position in the ammount served to him, the boss grabbed my serving spoon and plopped three more spoonfuls onto his plate. Now I was the bad guy and my boss was the hero, if somewhat of a hypocritical one. I hate it, but it happens to me all the time. ■ • • ,Vi- The Near-Fatal Cootie Shot Anyone Who Ever Peed In Class Or Threw Up, Anyone Who Ever Gave A Cootie Shot Or Ate A Devil Dog Can Remember With Fondness And Pain Those Elementary Years Loosely based fiction by Kevin Panic All of a sudden she peed all over the floor. It was second grade and Mrs. Taylor had the group of “A readers circle up in the front of the classroom to read a story. Mr. Polaski, the apple vender was setting up his cart with his horse (the one with the straw hat) and Tommy Sullivan was reading this aloud when Darla Simmons let out a weak moan-cry and gyrated in her chair. All of a sudden she peed all over the floor. Of course, it was a terrible disaster, the talk of the playground at recess. I remember standing on the dusty field, pushing a small pile of sand back and forth in a swirling pattern with my foot and watching the khaki gray color of the dust coat my shoe. I felt sad and embarressed for Darla but talked of the accident with the rest of the school. I was. by being in the A” group, an authority on what had happened. The whole second grade wanted to be friends with the eight or ten of us who were at the scene It was a type of catharsis for them-they felt important, almost as if being friends with us could make them an active part of the tragedy. Darla came back after lunch with a new dress on. looking freshly ironed and slightls flushed. The class was hushed, no one looking Darla in the eye. The reason she had not been able to hold it was because she had been afraid to ask Mrs. Taylor for permission to visit the bathroom (then called the basement). It was a sensible fear. Mrs. Taylor stood well over six feet tall and her pouffy beehive hairdo added at least another fool to her towering frame. She wore suits with narrow skirts that have always reminded me of a guard in a woman's prison. The suits were her trademark; whenever she left the classroom for a short period of time, her return was alerted by the sound of her heavy calves rubbing together because of the tight skirt. The noise was like crisp new corduroy rubbing together. I always had a special place in my heart for Darla after that day. She had done what was my biggest fear; peeing in class. Although I never did it. I came close. Every day, upon descending the bus and walking up the driveway to my house. I would nearly wet my pants. Every day I would pull back with my second grade belly muscles and jump up and down, trying to get the back door open, and keep my bladder from exploding with the pressure. Once inside. I ran past Mom without a word and nearly died as I danced around trying to un ip and take aim; Those elementary years had a routine to them. Each day after school and after nearly peeing my pants. I would watch Kimba. the White Lion , and “Speed Racer . I hated these cartoons, but my older brother and his friends lived their lives by them and I had to know the story, for after the show was over, we would play “Speed Racer I’m Speed! ,' my brother would claim and run across the yard huffing and wheezing (as the characters always did) and jump into his pretend Mark 5 My brother looked pretty foolish running around the neighborhood with his arms outstretched. clasping his make-believe steering wheel, quickly persued by two of his equally dumb friends, their arms out in similar fashion as the bad guys trying to catch Speed and win the race's prize. Whenever I was allowed to play. I had to be Pops. Speed’s mechanic and father. Pops never did anything more exciting that change spark plugs and tell Speed to be careful. It really was not fun Mary Margaret Alosa was the dumbest girl in my fourth grade class. (I’m sure that wherever she goes, she has the sole distinction of being the dumbest person there) Once she drew tattoos all over her arms and hands with colored markers. Most of it was gone in a day or two (or whenever it was that she got around to bathing but everywhere she used black remained lor over a week. Another time she decided she needed an extra-potent cootie shot. In those days in 1969. a cootie shot kept the recipient safe from anybody’s cooties, (even Byron Aiken’s). You achieved this inno-culation b scratching the back of your left hand until a red mark was viable. Dumb Mary Margaret, in her attempt at cxlra-po-tenticy. scratched her hand until it bled quite readily. Weeks later (and still not healed) Mary Margaret’s mother took her to the doctor who found that in the attempt to keep away cooties. Mary Margaret’s cut had invited infection in. Mary Margaret was out from school for several days and the rumour passed around the school that her hand had been amputated. We were all disappointed when she finally returned with only a gauze pad taped to the spot. Because of Mary Margaret's stupidity, the entire school was ushered into the auditorium while she was at home rccoupcruling (no doubt, they chose this time so as not to embarrass her) and given a lecture on cootie shots by Mrs Ryerson. the principal Mrs. Rycrson was an enormous woman with a fu mustache and a foot of dingle-dangle swinging beneath each arm. Nobody paid much attention to her. as it was decided long ago that she had lost her mind. During the second world war. her favorite son. Donald had lost his life It was never known how he died, but Mrs. Rycrson never got over it. Everyday before we could eat lunch, she would make us bow our heads and pray for the boys who lost their lives in the second world war .

On Stage On Stage “You’re you, Charlie Brown,” was Lucy’s only hopeful remark to a troubled Charlie Brown after naming his endless faults. The weekend of October 22, 1983 everyone’s favorite all-around loser was brought to life on the Plymouth stage in Clark Gcsncr’s “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” Charles Shultz’s “Peanuts” are a colorful variety of characters. These wonderful individuals were expertly-brought to life by a talented cast. Starring as Charlie Brown was freshman Buzz Moore from Riverside, Connecticut. Moore gave his role all the warmth, anguish, frustration and innocence we’d expect from Charlie Brown, himself. Some of his memorable speeches and songs included a lonely lunchtime monologue and a joyful attempt at kite flying. Jane Austin, a junior from Monmouth, Maine did a superb job as Lucy— rather “crabby , often times loud, but always a lady. Linus, the philosopher of the group, was portrayed by Scott Fortier, a junior from Center Conway, NH, who did an excellent job, especially in his solo of “My 72 Blanket and Me.” Mike Barrell, a freshman from Enfield, NH played Schrocdcr with the dignity attributed to Bcethovan's most devoted fan. And Christine Walton, a freshman from Clinton. Connecticut did Patty with never-ending energy and enthusiasm. But it was undoubtedly Alex Thayer’s Snoopy which won the audience hands down. Thayer, a junior from South Hampton, Mass., achieved the definite show-stealing personality so like the famous pooch himself. Scenic, lighting and costume crews should also be mentioned for their excellent jobs. You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown” was presented by the Plymouth Players and the PSC Music Theatre Department. t A Company of Wayward Saints, the second Players presentation was performed within the annual Madrigal Dinner festivities. The show demonstrated a typical 'Commedia' style of acting. Commedia del ante, a course demonstrating the style of acting during this particular period and the lifestyle that generaly existed in conjuntion with theaters and theatergoing people was taught. The intention was to help students involved with the show to have a better understanding and therefore produce a better product. The show was bright, bawdy, and throughly enjoyed by all. The following article, written by Donna Byrne, was taken from the April 21. 1983 issue of THE CLOCK. ROMEO AND JULIET Romeo and Juliet closed Saturday evening, April 16, after five excellent performances. The Shakesperian tragedy’s success is attributed to a diverse and talented cast supported by a skilled and dedicated off-stage crew. The PSC production brought the romance, poetry, and tragedy of Romeo and Juliet to life. The cast and crew did a fine job especially considering the challenge of the lines, the difficulty of building an Elizabcth-ian-likc stage, and the demands of staging vigorous fight scenes. The first half of the play concentrated on the impetuousness and passion of young love. Throughout the play is foreshadowing of doom and fiery clashes between the two feuding families. The action exculated in the second half as tragedy struck again and again. M. Roberta Desmond, shone as Juliet, her first Plymouth role. The sophomore music major brought youth, emotion, and intensity to her performance. Her leading man, Alex Thayer, portrayed Romeo with impetuousness, romance, excitement, and passion. Together they well-depicted Shakespeare's famous couple from their joy to their doom. Scott Fortier, as Romeo’s friend Mcrcutio was definetly one of the most powerful performers and quickly became a favorite of the audience. His performance conveyed intensity and enthusiasm. Dennis Logan, a Plymouth area resident, portrayed Juliet’s father Capulct well in both jovalty and fury. Another popular character was the wise and fatherly Friar Lawrence performance by freshman Fulton Gaylord. Robert A. Bruemmcr, previously active behind stage delivered his first on-stage role as Prince Escalus with power. The quick-tempered Tybalt was well acted by junior Geoffrey A. Lafayette. These are just part of one large dramatic case. Mention should also be given to soprano Martha Kcslcr for her songs during the performance. The timing, lighting, costumes, choreography and more all were demonstrative of much hard work and effort. Overall, Romeo and Juliet was one of PSC’s finest achievements. 4 This year, with the aid of Dr. Charles E. Combs, and Mr. D. Kenneth Beyer, the Plymouth State theatre department presented nine one-act plays directed, designed, and acted by Plymouth students. From May 4th until the 13th, the Studio Theater was busy each night as students set up, acted, and took apart the sets for their two night run. All in all a huge success, the student directed one-act plays are sure to be an addition to the theatre department’s roster for years to come. Plays shown were: THE ROOK by Lawrence Osgood, directed by Elise Gage; THE AMERICAN DREAM by Edward Albee, directed by Scott Fortier; Paul Zindel’s LET ME HEAR YOU WHISPER, directed by Peter Alexander; IMPROMPTU by Tad Mosel, directed by Martha K. Kesler; SAVE ME A PLACE AT FOREST LAWN by Lorecs Ycrby, directed by Kevin Gilbert; Terrence Rattigan’s THE BROWNING VERSION, directed by Joyce Morin; A SLIGHT ACHE by Harold Pinter, directed by Richard Sullivan; MISS JULIE by August Strinberg, directed by Alex C. Thayer; and finally, A.A.

The events started with the “Magicalfantastic-whimsical” Fairy Land parade on Friday, February 25. At the end of the parade, John Gordon and Sue Gordon were announced as this year's Winter Carnival King and Queen. Saturday’s events included the beginning of the 24 hour dance marathon, the swimming relays, and the Winter Carnival Ball sponsored by the Alumni Association. The competition continued Sunday with the sack races and inner tube chariot race held in front of Mary Lyon Hall. On Sunday evening a special and extraordinary event, the “ImaginAIRy Band was the beginning of a new tradition here at Plymouth. Participants chose any song of their choice that pertained to the organization’s chosen theme. No real instruments were allowed to be used. Everyone was dressed in costume according to their chosen theme. All the organizations that participated turned out to be very creative and even talented. On Monday, the “Outrageous Obstacle Course was open to all. A farewell to “MASH” party was held Monday night, with special Coffee House guest Dave Binder performing before and after the farewell episode. “The Quest” (Road Rally) was run Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday was Skit Night, Never Never Land Comes Alive . The Alumni Association hosted the traditional Winter Carnival “Champagne Breakfast” Thursday morning.

WINNERS OE WINTER CARNIVAL '83 Overall Winner: Alpha Theta Fraternity Division I: Student Apartments Division II: Off Campus Division III: Alpha Theta Fraternity Soft Sculpture Winner: Student Apartments BY J. SYNUS PAYNE year it happens to me I get real apprehensive about going to the senior picnic or the Branch Brook fest because I'll have to take my shirt off and expose mv white skin and bony chest to the scrutinizing eyes of everyone there.' You see. every year after one of these events. I say out-loud to any friends who arc in hearing distance that rm starting a regular exercise and weight-lifting routine. I'm going to be a bron c god. I tell them. I'm going to kick sand this summer . At the time I say it I really mean it. Then the excuses flow in At first, it's Oops, too hot out today. I’ll start tomorrow. then it's too busy- the first of the week. . Before I know it. I've made plans to start my program in the fall, when I'm into a routine. I never get into a routine; I started saying this my freshman year and I'm a senior now I can't help it. putting things off runs in my family. Back in the late forties, my dad. Fletcher, met my mom. Dot. OF Fletcher and Dot were still seeing each other, with intentions to marry someday, as late as 1953. If it hadn't have been for my sister Shelley, who at the time wasn’t Shelley, yet was one step further than a twinkle in my father's eye, they probabally would have put off getting married at all. They could have ended up with a small picture and caption in the Enquirer. Couple in 70’s still engaged after 50 years . My mother would have clipped it out carefully and pasted it in the scrapbook, kept in her hope chest. One should call it a hopeless chest after 50 years. My sister puls things off too. When she graduated from high school, nearly all of her class had been accepted at a college. Shelley would have been accepted also, as she was class salutorian. however, she never got around to making out the applications. She now is the drive-thru captain at the Burger King. My past aside. I still never like to take off my shirt in public. Sometimes I think it would be more dcsireablc to have a large overhanging belly with a dimple at the navel and pendulous breasts than to be so skinny that when I stand in front of the sun. light shines through my ribs. At least I'm not alone. Every summer at Hampton Beach there arc painfully thin men. Usually they arc teamed up with a woman with a figure like a blue-ribbon Heffer. One such gent was wading in the ocean when I happened by last summer. The beach was hot. packed with sweating, pinkening flesh. Boredom had gotten me up and cruising 89 along I he waters edge. Walking with me were my two summer companions Barry and Pam. These folks have the unique distinction of being the two crudest people in the free world. My snide comments always seem tame in comparison to their s Up and down'the beach we walked. Along the way we were giving out awards to the beachgoers instead of conversation. “Thighs of the day. Pam would mention off the cuff, and Barry and I would turn to see a pair of jumbo legs, white and dimpled like cottage cheese, enter the Atlantic. We didn't stop all day. We threw out constant snide comments and awards. Body hair of the day. . “ 'do of the day , marble bag bathing suit of the day , on and on. We ran into the aforementioned gent around one in the afternoon. Steam seemed to rise off the ocean water and we were cut off on our path along the edge. Something or someone ran by us. The first thing I noticed was his green bathing-capped head. This man was seventy if he was a day. with plaid boxer swim trunks pulled up to his armpits. His bathing cap was pulled down tight, hiding his eyes and accentuating his hawked beak All the time we were watching him. in amused horror, he was hopping up and down from side to side, as if the sand and water were hot coals. The whole point is he was thin. Thin really doesn't do him justice—emanated is more like it. When we had passed by. we couldn't help but look back over our shoulders. We labeled him Man of the Month . What does summer at Hampton Beach have to do with spring in Plymouth? Nothing, but at least you can understand my thinking when it came time to remove my shirt under the hot spring sun I wasn't about to be made fun of by someone cruel like myself! By the time I had arrived at Branch Brook for the senior picnic, the band was already playing. “Spanks was a group of people bopping up and down trying to entertain the seven people there. There's nothing worse than the pity you feel for a band when they play their hearts out on a song, trying their darnedest to imitate the Go-Go's, and you see them realize that no one was listening. No 90 one claps, yet the band always says lhank-you. Who arc they thanking anyway? Perhaps they're being facetious and I haven't figured it out yet. Probabally. It wasn't long however, before people hoarded onto the field—many bee-lining straight to the Miller truck which was giving away free beer. I noted it’s funny how people w ho arc getting free beer make demands just like they paid for it. Sometimes they make more demands than if they really did pay. Gimme three. they'll say. “Don’t you have Bud? . What do you mean there's no Lite left7 Gee . These arc comments I could do without, yet just my luck 1 got roped into handing out the beers and pouring them from the tap on the side of the truck. For two hours I worked filling and refilling, taking an occasional drink By the last hour's end. I was wearing more beer than I had been able to drink or pass out. I looked like some contestant in a private wet T-shirt contest. Here I was. the only sober person in a swarm of happy drunks looking like I had just been dragged out of the Pemi. I unwittingly must have given someone an idea, because before I realized what was happening. I was wearing a brew. It dripped down off my head over my shoulders, back and chest. Revenge was the only order now I found Joanic. the culprit, running through the crowd. So, being the immature college student I am. (i.c. undergrad) I dashed after her. a beer in each hand. The double-barreled shower hit her straight on in the face giving her no chance for a defense. Before I knew it. I had started an all-out beer war. I ran for the cover of some nearby bushes lining the bank of 92 the river and watched the fools splash each other with cupfulls of beer. The man from Miller stood on the sidelines like a referee, his feet planted firmly apart and his arms folded over his chest. Immediately he ordered the flow of beer stopped. It appeared almost safe to come out from my retreat now. I stood as if to leave and felt my feet slide out from under me. The steep muddy slope that was holding me up finally gave way and deposited me in the river. There I sat in the four-inch water as if it were a draining bathtub Drunker than I previously thought, I slipped and fell and pulled myself out of the water and crawled and clawed up the muddy embankment. Finally up from the depths. I saw only a crowd, backs to me at the bandstand. Everyone looked soaked like me. only they weren't covered with a film of slick mud. I got up and joined them. What’s going on? . I inquired to the row of backs. Nobody answered. I was unable to be heard over the hooting and cheering. I had been drowned out. Over the top of the crowd I saw what was captivating the masses. There, on the ground was a picnic table, decayed and in pieces, littered with young ladies in various stages of undress. Apparently a wet T-shirt contest had been going on (1 guess I didn't make the semifinals) when the table collapsed. There the girls were, laying on the table laughing, too drunk to know if they were hurl. And there the crowd was. staring down at them and their breasts. All in all. it was a scene any mother would have been disgusted with. I survived the whole scene without feeling obliged to take my shirt off. I may have been smarter than most of the guys there, and certainly more than the girls in the T-shirt contest, for they all ended up bright pink with sunburn. But for me. and hundreds of other Plymouth students. Branch Brook senior picnic is the official launching of summer. As soon as I get home I'm going to join a nautilus club Maybe I'll be kicking sand this summer after all. One never knows, docs one? 94 % FIELD HOCKEY The Plymouth State College Held hockey team may have Finished 4-9-2. but the 1982 squad was better than its record indicated. We played our toughest schedule ever, says PSC head coach Dot Diehl. This was also the youngest team I have ever coached and I was encouraged by the improvement over the year. The Panthers will be losing only three seniors in sweeper Angie Sambold, co-captain wing Robin Black (one goal) and co-captain halfback Lisa Kattar, who improved over the second half of the season. Heading the cast of lulcnicd underclassmen is junior halfback Jennie Davis. Davis was the team's leading scorer with five goals and was also a consistent performer on defense all year long. Sophomore inner Terri Galley (4 goals) did not have the season she had last year, us a knee injury early in the 1982 season kept her from performing to her full potential. Sophomores Cheryl McDonald (one goal). Laura Guisti (one goal) and Heather Babin-eau (two goals) all came through for the Panthers during the season as well as Freshmen Missy Royce and Maura Jepsen who were solid additions to Diehl's squad. I'm very optimistic about next year. adds Diehl. We were growing and improving as each game went by. First-year sophomore goalie Lisa Cutting was a standout performer in the Panther net while sophomore halfback Pam Black also played well. Rounding out this year's team wore juniors Joan Smith, Brenda Gossclin and Ann Gulley, sophomores Laurccri Early, Amy Hayden. Penny Watson and Leslie Reeves, freshmen Sue Blouin. Beth Rivers, Tammy Daubney. Jacqueline Steels. Jenne Torrey and Kerri Bcrgcndahl. I was pleased with our performance in the New Hampshire Women's Athletic Conference (NHWAC) tournament, and in the Northeastern and Holy Cross games, says Diehl. “We played very well over the Final week of the season and that shows promise. Diehl had reason to be happy about the NHWAC tourney with PSC having the most representatives on the all-conference team. Earning spots on the team were Davis, Galley, Kattar and Guisti, RESULTS 4-9-2 Univ. of S.

After completing his tenth season as Plymouth State College golf coach, Joe Clark should be proud. I lis team tied for the ECAC North Championship and his number one golfer. Rich Parker, finished his collegiate career by capturing the coveted ECAC individual title. The 6T 195-pound senior captain from Lebanon achieved a first-place tic with Rick Buchannon of Amherst College in the ECAC Qualifying Tournament. He then went onto dominate a talented field of 128 golfers in the championship tournament to gain individual honors with a convincing seven-stroke victory over New England amateur champion Jim Hultcil of Bryant College, “It is a pleasure to work with someone of that ability, said Clark. It has to be the ultimate win of his career so far. Rich is a composed golfer with tremendous talent Every coach wants a golfer like rich on his team.” After a slow start in their Fall Golf Classic in September, the PSC golfers showed improvement.

The Lady Panthers started out fast with season-opening wins over St Michael's College and Rivier College, but were then blanked 7-0 by both the University of Vermont and Bowdoin College. That was an indication of things to come as the PSC women weren’t able to put together any kind of a win streak during the season. We lost some tough matches that could have turned our season around. said McCormack. whose team finished with a 4-6 record. Consistency was a problem for us. We'd look very impressive as a team one time and then wouldn't play as well the next time.

McCormack saw several bright spots in the '82 squad We were very competitive and really had some outstanding matches, said McCormack. I feel we had more depth than last year’s team and hopcfull will be an even deeper team next season. 99 The accomplishments read like something out of an Aesop's Fairy Talc. A perfect 10-0 season ... 19 wins in a row . . winning the Lambert Bowl , . capturing it's second straight New England Football Conference championship. The list goes on and on. but perhaps the biggest thing that the 1982 Plymouth State College Panther football team achieved was national recognition and an added sense of pride in the program. When we look back on the season, we realize that all of our main goals were accomplished. reflects Plymouth State head coach Jay Cottonc. Except for not making the Division III playoffs.

Highlights of the season included the upset over Bridgewater State, a 58-57 overtime thriller over talented Franklin Pierce and a 60-57 victory over Division II St. Anselm College. The Panthers were especially tough at home, posting an 8-3 record. But they lost several close games on the road and were 4-8 away from the John C. Foley Gym. One of our main goals was to post a winning season and our win over Bridgewater enables us to do just that, “said Plymouth State head coach Gene Fahey. We were a good shooting team and had some experience— especially in the backcourt. But we weren’t an especially big team and got hurt on the boards. I think we played exciting basketball at times this season. The 6’2 senior co-captain backcourt combination of Rich Parket and Denis Kcglovits led the charge for PSC. The sharp-shooting Parker led the team in scoring with a 17.9 average and finished with 949 career points. Kcglovits was one of the best all-around guards in the New England Division III ranks.

Sophomore 6 7 center George Olson led the team with 23 blocked shots, blocking three shots in the upset win Over Bridgewater Slate. Backup 6'8 freshman center Bill MeGirr showed great improvement and will be counted on next year. Sophomore Keith l.orangcr also did a fine job at point guard. First-year assistant coach Gary Emanuel did an excellent job hclphing Fahey on the bench and scouting on the road.

The Panther icemen were outscorcd by a 112-77 margin en route to a disappointing 6-10-1 record during the 1982-83 season. Defense was a major problem. “Our defense and goaltcnding were inconsistent --especially late in the season. said Plymouth State head coach Dave Webster. Inexperience and several key injuries really hurt us this season. But we have several young players returning and what promises to be a good recruiting year. We’ll be back.” Senior forward Charles C.J.” Sweet led the team in scoring with IS goals and eight assists. Freshman forward Steve Boudreau scored nine goals and 10 assists.

Led by alpine combined National Champion Doug Karwoski. the Panthers displayed these ingredients when they captured first place in the giant slalom and fourth place in the combined alpine events of the NCSA nationals. There was a mixture of elation and depression. said head coach Bob Sampson. At first we were hot and skiing well. We captured the GS. Then we began falling and finished up fourth overall. The Panthers captured the giant slalom honors with the help of a three-man task force whose main objective was to place in the lop ten in the GS. Junior standout Doug Karwoski became a two-time All-American as he captured first place, while teammates Morgan Mole (7th) and Pat McNamara (10th) became second-team All-Americans for accomplishing their objective. The slalom event proved to be a more difficult task however, as finishes by Karwoski (3rd). Vince Bell (24th) and McNamara (26th) put the Panthers in sixth place out of a field of 82 skiers. Plymouth State finished fourth overall in the combined alpine events behind 1983 national champion Brigham Young University, the College of Idaho and the University of British Columbia.

Well, two out of three isn't bad. The wrestling Panthers finished at 11-5 and also captured the Northern New England . But PSC finished a disappointing eighth in the New England . I was pleased with our dual meet season, said Aguiar, who is now 91-67-1 lor j .736 winning percentage in nine seasons at Plymouth State. “The high point of our season came when we won the Northern New England and our performance in the New England was certainly a low point.

The 190-pounder finished with an 11-5 record including a third place finish ai the New England Juniors 118-pound Gary Rabinovit finished with a 17-2 record and a team high of 95 points. Along with juniors Scan Ryan (126), Pete Otis (134) and sophomore Gary Holden (142), Robinovit proved to be the backbone of the wrestling Panthers. The key to our success was our team balance, said Aguiar Hard work by our veterans and the maturation by our lightweights provided us with several key wins. Our first four weight classes were solid. Senior 167-pound Jamie Holden wa also a consistent force all season for the wrestling Panthers. Three freshmen - Paul Gabriel (Unlimited). Tom Gibbons (150) and John Shields (177) proved themselves when they stepped in for the veterans. Rounding out the 182-83 squad were junior Frank Concry (134).

We're pleased with our showing in the USWLA tournament.” said Nell. “After an opening loss to an extremely talented Ursinus team, we came back with exciting wins over Lynchburg and Denison University. The Lady Panthers were led once again by the high-scoring attack trio of senior Karen Murdock, junior Amy Burns and sophomore Terry Galley—which accounted for 80 goals after scoring 81 last season. Burns led the charge with 30 goals and seven assists while Murdock caught fire late in the season to finish with 30 goals and six assists. Galley added 20 goals and two assists.

This season, however, the PSC defense was not quite as sharp, giving up an average of 8.5 goals per game. “We lost two starting defensemen and two starting attack men. said head coach Dave Webster We played aggressively in all our games but our defense was just a little weak. The 1983 Panther defense was led by only one senior. George Bovaird. Sophomores John Gump, Mike DcMarchc apd Jim Davis rounded out the starting unit Offensively, the Panthers Were better, Senior Ben Cole shined for Plymouth State as he led the Panthers in scoring with 23 goals and 9 assists. That achievement earned him a spot on the 1983 N.E East-West All-Star squad. Right beside Cole on the All-Star team was senior captain Dick Whitney. Whitney was second in team scoring with 11 goals and 6 assists. Junior attacker Terry O'Brien had been leading the team in scoring until a shoulder injury sidelined him for five games.

The Panthers smashed several team and individual records en route to a 12-10 season including a 9-7 season finale win over the University of New Hampshire. May 12 at Memorial Field in Concord. We started to come alive after beginning the season with four straight losses. said Plymouth State head coach Rick Hutchins. Our hitting came around late in the season and our defense was probably our main strength.” Senior co-captains John Knccland and Rich Parker led the Panther charge. Knccland posted a 6-2 record on the mound and recorded a team record 55 strikeouts in 51 innings and also compiled two shutouts. At the plate he had a .359 baiting average and a .500 on-base percentage. I Ic also set another team record by driving in six runs in one inning and seven in one game. The 6'2 , 210 pound Parker caught fire late in the season and set team records for most home runs in a season (6). most RBI (29). most total bases (45) and highest slugging percentage (.652). He was a one-man wrecking crew during the six games in May batting .429. with five homers. 18 RBI and 24 total bases. Parker also set another team record with 11 RBI in a doubleheadcr sweep over Midd-lebury while also clouting two homers and driving in six runs in the victory over UNH. Sophomore catcher Bruce Koskela led the team with a .424 batting average and 25 hits while doing a marvelous job behind the plate. He collected three gamewinning hits and drove in 13 runs. Junior right fielder John Hogan was one of the most improved players on the team—finishing second on the team in hitting with a .375 batting average and showcasing a strong throwing arm. Two players who did the job with both the bat and the glove were senior shortstop Kevin Johnson (.310) and sophomore center fielder Marco Vittoz i (.273). And rounding out the starting unit were slick-fielding sophomore second baseman Dave Dutra (.254), rifle-armed junior third baseman Jim Thompson (.233) and power-hitting left fielder John Rutsy Kchr (two home runs). Other key contributors were sophomore outfielder Tom Dion (who lined a team record two pinch hits in a double-header) freshman first baseman Ray Bolton, freshman outfielder Rob Bolton, freshman infieldcrs Jamie Caldwell and Bob Donahue, Ireshman catcher Jim Salem State, lost 5-0 lost 6-2 Doolady and freshman Tom Flynn (•astern Conn., lost 6-5 lost 11-0 Freshman right-hander Mark Bond Franklin Pierce, won 12-0 won 17-4 was the number two pitcher on the staff Castleton Stale, won 3-2 won 6-5 behind Knccland with a 1-2 record.

When the l.ady Panthers opened the season March 23, they knew they would have a legitimate chance at either an F.AIAW or NCAA playoff berth. But head coach Christine Rizzieri and her players saw their chance fade when they ended the season with a 10-8 record. “We thought we had a fifty-fifty chance at making the playoffs, said Rizzieri. It was a disappointing finish. The Lady Panthers had four games cancelled due to bad weather but Rizzieri was quick to point out that PSC wasn’t the only team hurt by Mother Nature. “All the other teams were in the same situation we were but they had a higher winning percentage, enabling them to get into the playoffs. she said The season was not a total loss as PSC captured the New Hampshire Women’s Athletic Conference (NHWAC) title for the second year in a row and was ranked nationally (15th) for the first lime in the team's history. The Lady Panthers were led by junior center fielder Donna DiNola. In the field, DiNola kept runners from scoring with her strong and accurate arm and at the plate she was a terror against enemy pitching. DiNola led the team in slugging (.696). batting average (.446), hits (25) and doubles (4). while posting a perfect 1.000 fielding average. The hard-hitting duo of juniors Lisa Til-den and Elaine Flanagan were two other ingredients in the Lady Panthers' success this season. The sure-handed Tildcn committed only-one error in 60 chances at second base for a .983 fielding mark. She also batted .355 while leading the team in runs scored with 17. Lisa is an Academic All-American candidate with an exceptionally high grade point average. Flanagan led the team in triple (4) and RBI’s (II) while finishing second in slugging (.579) and hitting (.403). She also fielded a fine .936 average at third base. Both Flanagan and Tilden were named to the All-New England Division III Regional Team. Freshman hurler Deb Andersen was the ace of the PSC pitching staff posting a 5-1 record while striking out 37 batters. Sophomores Deb Carr 93-6) and Kim Brackett along with freshman Kim Bean (2-1) rounded out the mound corps. Senior Deb Rocke and freshman Rachel Roy split time at first base. Freshman shortstop Sue Baldis led the team in stolen bases with four. Junior Michelle Lamontagne and freshman Lauren Flaherty handled the catching duties. Sophomore Tricia Ellis played left field while sophomores Robin Matthews and Brackett shared right field. “It was surprising how quickly the team pulled togehter. said Rizzieri, who was as- sisted by Shaun Donahue. It didn’t take the players long to learn the system The skill level was there. The highlight of the season came at the NHWAC tourney while the final double-header loss to the University of Vermont was the low point. I expect a good season in 1984. said Rizzieri. “We'll be a year older and interest in the PSC softball program is at an all-time high.

The Panther nctmen posted a 6-3 record during 1983 their ninth straight winning campaign under Bourgeois. Our competition was probably the best I've seen in a long time, says Bourgeois. whose team posted a combined 20-2 mark during 1981-1982. “Most of our matches were very competitive and I think our final record of 6-3 was very hard-earned. The Panthers suffered a setback when top-.sceded Luis Rosales suffered an injur) during preseason and was lost for the season. Picking up the slack for PSC was freshman Bob Craig, who posted an impressive 7-2 record playing out of both the second and third seeds. Fifth-ranked junior Bill O’Shea turned in the best singles record on the team at 6-1. Junior Doug McQuade posted a 3-6 mark in the number one seed while senior co-captain Mike Cicssford was 4-5 in the fourth seed. Freshman Carl Nelson and Jeff Lamb shared the number six spot while Dave Masefield added depth to the Panther lineup, The Plymouth State nctmen dropped an 8-1 season-opening decision to Salem State before winning three consecutive matches against New Hampshire College (9-0). New' England College (7-2) and the University of Southern Maine (6-3). After dropping a contest to a powerful Dartmouth junior Varsity team, the Panthers captured three straight meets against U. Mass.-Boston, Lyndon State and Bridgewater State before dropping a 7-2 season finale at the University of Lowell. The PSC nctmen finished a disappointing 20th in the 1983 New England Intercollegiate Tennis Championships at Springfield College. We had Nome good performances this season and things look very good for next year. says Bourgeois. With the return of Luis (Rosales) plus McQuade, O'Shea. Lamb. Nelson, Craig and Masefield. we should have a pretty solid lineup. Salem State, lost 8-1 New Hampshire College, won 9-0 New England College, won 7-2 Southern Maine, won 6-3 Darmouth J.V., lost 7-2 U.

President Barrett: There is an Interim President until the Presidential Search Committee has an opportunity to search nation wide, as most institutions do now. for a permanent President. Tower: Are you a perspective candidate for the position? Barrett: No. I am not; I expect to retire in 2 years, so I don't think I would be a viable candidate. Tower: Who decides on who will be the new President? Barrett: The Search Committee, which has representatives from the system, from the Board of Trustees, faculty, Administration, and students. It is a very broad and representative group, and I believe it's as big as 18-20 people. Tower When is all this taking place? Barrett: There is a very attractive ad in the Chronicle for Higher Education. It catches one's attention. It names as a deadline September I, 1983 with the prospect of a President by preference coming on board by January I. 1984. This fall will be busy for us interviewing prospective candidates. Tower: What do you see for Plymouth in the coming years under the new President’s administration? Barrett: As a faculty, we have been very much concerned in just what we do present to these candidates, not only as what we have here now at Plymouth, but hopes and aspirations. One thing that we want to show a new President is that wc arc interested in strengthening the liberal arts component on campus, and wc arc interested in performing arts as well for every student. Wc arc interested in computer literacy for every student. Recently, the faculty took a poll of every department as to what they thought the next capital improvements on campus should be. and it was unanimous that a performing arts building would be the next thing wc would hope to request from the legislature. It was interesting to sec that there was that much agreement and that wc didn't choose anything to do with business or computers. lower: What arc your comments on President Marking’s years here? Barrett: Many people believe that Dr Marking was just the right person for us at the right time. Wc were coming out of our old identity as a teacher's college, that took quite a long time to change as far as the public's perceptions were concerned. Wc had hired a very well prepared faculty prior to his coming and continued to do so. It has been a period of growth as far as buildings and educational programs, but I think the real creative time as far as curriculum is concerned, probably came along after Dr. Marking joined us. He was very strong as a facilitator, not a man who said autocratically, do this, but he enabled things to be done. I think everyone thinks that those years were very important to us 3nd left us with a stronger sense of good self-image. Tower: What would you personally like to see change here at Plymouth? Barrett: I’d change the efficiency of the delivery sy stem of education to individual students. I think we have good programs, wc have good faculty, wc have good students; I'm not always convinced that these come together and that wc accomplish the goals that we claim for the college. It's certainly not true only of Plymouth. it’s true of an institution of education, but that's where I think wc could really improve. I think some individual students get a really excellent education, gel to know the faculty, and really achieve more than they thought they would in 4 years time, and I think there arc others who don’t. This is to a large degree the responsibility of the college as well as the individual students. Tower: Why did you choose Plymouth? Barrett: I chose Plymouth a very long time ago. 27 years ago. I thought it might be an adventure. I had thought, well I'll stay one year; I guess like many students do. The place just won me over, the friendliness of the people; 1 like the town. I saw a chance to do things and to know that what I did made a difference. Wc had 350 students then-and you knew that if you were working with a student you knew you were cither doing some good or some harm, but something was happening that was directly what you were affecting. That was very important to me. Tower: Where are you originally from? Barrett: I am from Alabama, so I feel it was a complete change. I also had no idea what the weather would be like. I knew within a few days, that it would be more than a year! 126 Return Visit Barbara Blaha Returned To Plymouth With An Interest In Helping Poor Readers Conning Tower: Can you tell us aboul your educational background? Blaha: When I first graduated from high school. I went to a junior college and majored in Retailing. I didn't really like retailing, so I decided to go to Europe. where I studied at the University of Vienna. While I was over there. I worked with youngvtcrs in helping them improve their English so they could pass the test for the University. I liked doing it so much, that I decided to come back to the States and get a degree in teaching English as a second language. After I left here, instead of going into teaching. Dr. Sanderson told me I should go on and get my masters in reading, which I did at Southern Connecticut State College. Before I finished there. I received a letter from Dr. Sanderson asking if I would be interested in coming back to Plymouth and beginning a reading lab to help our students who have problems in reading. I came back to Plymouth planning to stay only a couple of years, and I have been here almost ten. While I have been here. I have gone to the University of Maine and gotten my Doctorate. Tower: Was it difficult coming here to leach since you went to school here? Blaha: In some ways it wasn't difficult, in other ways it was extremely difficult. It was hard to suddenly work on a professional basis with the people that I had once had as teachers. They all asked me to call them by first names, and some of them I had a terrible time trying to do it. I think the worst one was John Allen: he used to walk behind me on the street and want me to say John, and I would turn around and say hi Dr. Allen, how are you? Tower: What changes have you seen in the English department since you’ve been here? Blaha: Basically, before, there were just two degrees offered, a BS in English Education, and a BA in English Liberal Arts. Now we have different options. Wo have an option that people can work on their own on what they want to do in English. We also have a very popular writing option, a literature option, and of course cnglish education program. Dr. Frcid. Dr. Sanderson, and I arc working on a communications option for this fall, because we feel there is a great interest for one. Large companies have been advertising for people that have the skills to be able to communicate well; I feel there is a great need for that. Tower: Have there been any significant changes in students since you first came to Plymouth? Blaha: Basically, students more or less have stayed the same. One thing I have noticed is that students arc a lot more serious than they used to be. They know that the employment market is bad. so they come to college with the idea of graduating into some kind of a job. I think this makes students very uptight: they don't like to explore different possibilities of other things they might be interested in. If they think they want to come here and they want to get a degree in business, then that's the only thing they end up exploring. I think students would be much better off if they give themselves a chance and take some courses in psychology and liberal arts, but they don't seem to want to do that anymore. The other thing that they have become very uptight about is marks. I think that has to do with the employment situation too, because they know that they have to be among the best to get a job. It's not so much what they learn from the course that they care about, it’s what they get for a grade. I find that to be really too bad. Other than that, students have stayed pretty much the same. We arc getting a lot more of a diversity of students: more students arc coming from different parts of the United States. I even had several students for the last few years from Africa, and I have really enjoyed working with them. We arc getting a good mix. because we arc getting students from all different backgrounds, not just from New Hampshire. Tower: What changes would you like to see in this department, and in the college? Blaha: I'd like to sec a stronger emphasis on liberal arts. I'd like to see students getting more of a variety of courses rather than just coming here and specializing in something. Possibly have students who arc education majors, for example, get a minor in something else a little different than in education. I hope the school doesn’t grow that much more. I’d like to have it stay the same as we are now. because we have a good student-teacher ratio. I'd like to sec more of an emphasis on improving student’s writing and reading skills. I think one of the finer things we’ve done is establish a theatre and music major. There is a lot of interest in these two fields among students. T h c C 0 n n 1 n g T 0 w e r 1 n t e r v i e w Risk Taker Martha Thurston - A Vehicle For Bringing Students Experiences The Conning Tower: What past work experience hate you had that led up to your position here as Assistant Director of College llnion Student Activities? Martha Thurston: I worked at Admissions for Vh years as Assistant Director recruiting prospective students. My territory covered: Southern Connecticut. Rhode Island. New York. Eastern New York. Long Island. New Jersey. Washington. D.C.. and Southern New England. I was also responsible for the development of and follow through publication of department literature. I did a slide show, and I am working on one now for Freshman Orientation this summer. I liked it very much because there was never a dull moment there; it was really a nice job. It was interesting how I fell into it; I was a student worker there; then when I graduated from P.S.C. in 1980, I was able to keep working there. I feel very fortunate; it w3s a nice progression. I heard about this job as Assistant Director of College tin-ion Studenl Activities a year ago. last summer. It sounded like the kind of job that I'd like to do. Tower: What do you like best about this job? Thurston: All the people that I'm in touch with; all the students and the fact that I still get to work with faculty and administration .. . that's always fun. I love planning things; I always have. It’s real fun to work with music-all of the entertainers that we have here-cver-ything, it’s funny, it's everything. That’s why I like it. Tower: How do you get along with the students? Thurston: I have a special spot for them, there’s no doubt about it. A lot of them arc friends of mine too. That's what's funny about staying here. I went to school here in 1975-76 then I went away until 1978. so I know an awful lot of people Tower: Do you think students get involved? Thurston: Well... I think a minority of them. That's my feeling, I don't have any wisdoms about it at all. That might be a little bit of a frustration ... a large group of people at Plymouth don't get involved with anything outside of their studies and their parties. But those who do arc really involved-in everything. I suppose that would happen anywhere, that's just the odds. Tower: Why do you like P.S.C.? Thurston: Well, first I'm a native of N.H.; the location is good. I can get to cities and the ocean and to the rest of the world easily if I feel like I need to. Yet, Plymouth provides the stability that I really like. The college offers a lot of stimulation; I can still take courses and stuff like that-it’s a nice balance. If I go crazy 1 feel like I can get out of here fast and go somew here. After I go crazy there. I can come back. The summer is just magic. To be able at the end of a long day to jump into the river 3nd swim for 45 minutes, cool off then walk home; the hiking; the long summer walks. I love things like the gazebo dowtown where you can go and listen to music on Wednesday nights. To me it's just easy living. Tower: Are you currently working on anything new? Thurston: P.A.C.E.. the combination of EPIC and SPICE; the slide show for freshman orientation; I also am on the periphial of working out programs through the OREO office-outdoor recreational type things. I am starting work on a Master’s; it’s a good next step for me. This will be the first summer I've had off since 1 was 12. I am a workaholic. I Tower: What is your philosophy about life? Thurston: I feel life is to short to miss much. I see this job as being a coordinator of programs and activities, that I am a vehicle for the students of Plymouth to bring to them experiences that they normally wouldn’t have a chance to experience. If I practice what I preach in that life is too short and you need to experience and see as much as you can. and if students catch that feeling from me and open up (I find some students arc hesitant toward new experiences). If I can help them to open up, to take new challenges, I would think that’s the best contribution I could make. This world is wonderful . . . with alt the junk that goes on; you won't know about the good until you t3kc a step and find out-even little one act shows or a little bit of music-that's one way of experiencing it. I hope that people catch that interest. .. don’t be afraid to take risks, find out and experience life; it’s great! 128 Man In A Personal Paradise Jim McGarry Finds It All In Plymouth Tower, what class The Conning Tower: Wh) did you come lo Plymouth? McGarry: I’ve always wanted to come to a college about the same size as Plymouth. A nice size, about 3.000 students. I wanted to be in a place where there was a rural environment (if it were L.A. or New York I wouldn’t be here). When I came here and saw the faculty. and saw it was the kind of situation, it seemed like. ‘Oh my God. a hidden paradise , and I'm happy to say that I’m really happy here. Tower: What do you think the relationship is between students and faculty? McGarry: You have no idea what an enviable position that Plymouth students arc in. The relationship between faculty and students is pretty good. That is one of the reasons I wanted to come to a small school, a lot of my education was in a mega university (Kent State-people know where it is because of 1970) with 20,000 students, and it’s hard to have a close relationship with students and faculty. Here in the psychology department the only time you have large classes is with General Psychology, but after that you can have (if the students so desire) a pretty good raporc with students and faculty; so I think that’s really enviable. The relationships between faculty and administration (even between students and administration) is really good, and there are many, many colleges where that doesn't exist. I've never seen a college president that seemed to be so comfortable with faculty and students as Dr. Marking was. You'd see him hanging out in the union eating the same crummy sandwiches as the students, and things like that. The fact that Dr. Marking moved up to Chancellor says a whole lot about the kind of environment that exists here in Plymouth. Tower: What are your past teaching experiences? McGarry: I was at a branch campus of San Diego Stale University in California for three years. This campus was seven blocks from the Mexican border. The day I arrived there it was 117 degrees, so if you want to compare where I was to Plymouth, they are exactly the opposite. I really like the four seasons here; I think that’s another reason why in making a move, I wanted an environment that was really pleasant and Plymouth certainly has that. People sometimes complain about January here. It’s so cold out. well, there is June. July. August, and September that it’s too hot—that’s why it’s the exact opposite. I had the opportunity in California to teach lots and lots of different courses. Since it was a branch campus. I was really the only full-time faculty member in Psychology. I was the backbone of the department there, so I had the responsibility of making sure enough courses were offered to make sure the students could get a Psychology major. So I taught Personality. Abnormal, Social Psychology. Statistics, a course on Aging, a course in Human Sexuality, and Consciousness. Those three years were kind of hectic. Actually I was going at a burn out rate, but on the positive side of it. because I was forced to teach so many subjects. I learned a heck of a lot of Psychology. I'm still in my rookie season here at Plymouth with two semesters. Here I teach Abnormal. Personality, General Psychology, Community Mental Health, and next year I may be doing a course in Social Psychology. is your favorite? McGarry: My favorite . . . chocolate. Actually, it’s hard to decide. It takes a little bit of adjusting. It takes a while to get a feeling for the students, what seems to work, what doesn’t, and I can assure you that the sutdents in Plymouth (or the people in New England) arc a little bit different than people living on the border of Mexico (over 50% of the people there have a Spanish background; more people spoke Spanish than English). So. there has been a lot of adjusting that I've had to do and I really like Personality. but it’s hard to say my favorite class—it’s like a roller coaster, ask me next year. I like to sec a lot of students getting into a topic-you can sec that something is happening. On good days, it's more than the professor coming into class and the students dutifully writing down the notes hoping they can regergitate it on an exam, the good days are an exchange between myself and the students. That’s really nice—a two-way street. Tower: What is your opinion of the students at PSC? McGarry: By in large, the students are nice, really nice people. When I got to Plymouth, particularly the first semester, the students were a little reserved (at least my perception was that they were) and what I interpreted as a lack of motivation or preparation was not really reserved, but quiet. However, now the students arc a little bit more responsive. It’s a 50 50 situation. Tower: Explain your style of teaching (the humor you portray)? McGarry: I think that I use humor sometimes purposely. either to break the ice or to get discussion. It’s to try and get students to open up in class. I figure if I can kid around a little bit and try to create a looser environment, then they might be more inclined to take a chance and say something. Part of it (humor) might be planned as a tool, but the other part is just impulse. I tend to make light of a lot of things I guess it’s sort of my style. Tower: Are you intolted in any current research? McGarry: Environmental attitudes and the personality characteristics involved with people in certain areas. Pro-ecology if you will. It began in California. I'm looking at personality characteristics that arc related to people who care and people who don’t. It’s possible I may continue that work here environmental issues here in New Hampshire (nuclear disposal and hazardous waste). Specifically I’m interested in what kinds of people arc concerned with those kinds of issues and what kinds of people arc not; the characteristics of those individuals. Tower What do vou think about the reputation of PSC? McGarry: The environment at Plymouth is superb. I think it’s possible for those students who want it. to get a heck of an education here. I know Plymouth has a reputation as being a party school, but part of the college experience is socializing. I think you can go to any college across the country (especially on a spring day) and find students out enjoying themselves. I think Plymouth is really a special place and hope it stays that way. It's a beautiful place -my first impressions arc very, very positive. T h c C 0 n n 1 n g T 0 w e r 1 n t e r v i e w 129 This Man Means Business Conning Tower: Can you give us some background on your life, before you came to Plymouth? Cooper: I graduated from Villanova University in 1968, with a Bachelor’s degree in History and minor in English and Philosophy. After that, I went into the Navy and was commis-ioned an officer. I was in the Navy for a total of 11 years serving on destroyers, in Vietnam, and then later in Washington D.C. an an Intelligence Analyst. I then got into an organizational development job as a management consultant on ships and submarines solving problems with dynamics. I got my M.B.A. in management and human relations, while I was serving as a management consultant; the two things coincided very well together. I got out of the Navy in June of 1979 and was hired at PSC in August 1979. I currently live in Wolf-boro. Tower: Since you were involved in the Vietnam War, do you have any comments you would like to share about it? Cooper: Prom my prospective, everybody was wrong. My generation was sent over there, but they had no backup support from our country. W'hat bothers me the most is that I am afraid that the ultimate result of the Vietnam War is. that we'll be afraid to do something like that again when it really is necessary; when our interests are really involved, that will be the ultimate tragedy! If you're going to use force then use it, if not. then stay away. Wc have to establish a much tougher criteria. A lot of people don’t realize in the Vietnam War. that the military said all along that the war was not being prosecuted correctly. Wc never lost a battle, but wc lost the war because of things that happened outside the military sphere. The median age to combat in the Vietnam War was 19; the median age to combat in World War II was 27. There's a world of difference between being 19 and being 27. Tower: What do you think the general calibre (profile) of a business student is, here at Plymouth? Cooper: I think wc have a variety of different types of people here; I think it is very difficult to say that there is a business student”. I find wc have people who I think arc serious, who know that they want to do something, not all of them know exactly what. There is a percentage that do know exactly what they want to do, but there arc a lot of kids that just simply don't know yet. They arc serious because they realize they have to get something out of their education; they realize that PSC has something to offer them, and they want to take advantage of that because they realize that this is a great opportunity. I think they arc very innovative people. They are bright enough to come up with solutions to problems Bill Cooper Stresses Well Balanced Education that one would not automatically assume was there. I don’t think that they’re well read enough. One of the things the business department is trying to do, that I think and hope the students arc beginning to appreciate, is broaden their horizons so that they get more involved in liberal arts courses. If all things go according to plan, what we’ve done is given the student the skills he needs to get rich, in terms of professional success; we’ve also given him things that will enrich his life, so that when he goes out into the community he is actually a kind of leader in the community. By taking liberal art courses, this gives him an opportunity to sec other sides of intellectual processes; taking philosophy courses, art courses, literature courses, psychology courses, well at the same time we've got to make sure that the professional skills wc give are adequate. We have to make sure we teach the students stuff they can really use. For example, in my operations class this semester, I am pushing Quality Control because it is so important; that is where the Japanese 3rc just whipping us. Tower: What problems face the business department? Cooper: Only in so much that wc constantly try to fine tunc ourselves. Wc arc constantly trying to stay on the right frequency in terms of what students need to get jobs, so that our only problem is that we (the faculty) arc correctly assessing what the world needs and requires of our graduates so that wc know what wc have to provide you with. For example, one of the things wc'rc pushing right now is to get more involved in management science. Management science used to be a field just for math minds , but now wc have the use of computers, so more people can get involved. The school is a dynamic place; it is a living, breathing entity. It is trying to keep itself constantly focused on what we need to do. I think that is very good! Tower: Are there any changes in the curriculum that you'd like to see? Cooper: One of the things that I'd like to do. and I don't know how to do this yet, is somehow take the topic of leadership and apply it within the curriculum. I have been reading in the Wall Street Journal that management has been saying that wc need better leaders. You just can’t sit down and teach leadership, so I haven’t really figured out how to do it yet. Wc arc trying to develop and evolve this concept. By putting people in groups (like I do in some of my classes) I give people a chance to talk and lead, and it forces them to participate more. Tower: How do you rate Plymouth's Business Department in comparison to other schools in New England, and in the country? Cooper: I think wc’rc very good. This is a student-oriented school as opposed to a faculty-oriented school. In this school, if a teacher sets his office hours for certain hours, that person is going to be there. It is very important to be student-oriented. I think there is a feeling among everybody, that this is a pretty good place. Wc have team spirit here. Compared with the other schools I've seen, this school is definitely better. Tower: What advances have you seen here since you first came to Plymouth? Cooper: One of the things that I have seen here is a general awareness and utilization of the computer system. Another thing is seeing an improvement of student acceptance of the library. A lot more students arc using it. because they don't feel as threatened by it; it's a good sign. The campus appearance is much nicer. There is a general feeling of excellence here at Plymouth. There is much more of a feeling of personal, professional pride; pride in the school: pride in yourself. I'd like to sec a higher degree of class identity. Wc need more support among the students in particular classes. Students arc getting a very balanced education here at Plymouth. For John Terry Downs Art Is Hereditary you get more interested people, sometimes you get fewer. Tower: You said you were teaching a new course. Visual Arts Seminar, could you explain what that is about? Downs: Visual Arts Seminar is a course for BFA students and other interested Seniors involving how to manage one's affairs. in terms of the economics of the times. It is not a how to course in terms of technique, but rather a “how to course in terms of getting along in the real world. Tower: Spring semester you had a show in the Art Gallery, how did this come about? Downs: We have a policy in the department where a faculty member can have a one person show each year, so one of the time slots is set aside for that. It’s been a tradition, and I requested this one. Tower: Do you do a lot of independent work? Downs: Yes I do, I also enter a lot of shows, mostly in N.H., but also I've entered some shows around the country and I've gotten in a few of them: Virginia, Georgia, and Illinois were the most distant ones. Usually I am in the New England area though; Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Tower: Beside Printmaking, what other mediums do you enjoy working with? Downs: Well. Printmaking is a lot of mediums, now I’m interested in etching. There was a time where I was very interested in silkscrcening. Also, my painting is color oriented. There is an interest there as well. When I go back to silkscrccing. whick I think is going to be coming up because of the qualities of color of printing available, it all depends where my ideas lead me, and the medium that seems to express corn, on page 135 The Conning Tower: Could you please tell us what your job entails? Downs: I am responsible for the Printmaking area, and I also teach fundamentals courses: Basic Drawing. Color and Design, Figure Drawing,, and a new class this semester. Visual Arts Seminar. Tower: How long ha� e you been teaching here at Plymouth, and in that time ha e there been many changes in the department? Downs: I’ve been here for eleven years, and yes there have been tremendous changes. We’ve made one big move into new facilities here in Hyde Hall. We used to be in the basement of Rounds Hall. It is a much improved situation. With new grow th of space we’ve also had a new grow th in the program, so now we’re just as cramped for space as ever. Tower: Has Printmaking always been in the program and if so ha� e you always been teaching it? Downs: Yes, when I came in, it was a new position to teach Printmaking. There were Printmaking courses offered before, but they were a sort of secondary for people who were doing other concentrations. Tower: Where did you attend school, and w hat degrees did you obtain? Downs: I went to school in Florida. I got my BA and MA at the University of Miami, and then I went to Florida State University where I got my MFA. Tower: Why art? Downs: I was always interested in art. my mother was an artist so I grew up with it all around me and it's what I’ve done as long as I can remember. Tower: Do you think there’s as big an interest in the art program as far as students are concerned? Downs: I think it’s like the tide, it ebbs and flows, sometimes Doing What Comes Naturally Staying Involved Lawrence Cushman Tries To Stay In-Tune To The Students Environment The Conning Tower: Can you tell us about your educational background? Dr. Cushman: 1 graduated from high school in Gary, Indiana in 1943. After the war. I entered Ball State Teacher's College in 1947. I graduated from college in 1950. I then taught grade school and high school for 11 years. I started working on my master's degree in Administration at Ball State, but after I got about 30 hours in that, I dropped it. I won a couple of NSF Grants to summer institutes that called for high school teachers. One of these was at Purdue University, and the other at Indiana. I decided to go to Indiana to get my master’s degree in 1962. I graduated with a master’s of Arts and Teaching in 1964. I then came to Plymouth. A couple of years after I was here. I started taking courses 3t U.N.H. and I have about 36 hours over the Master’s degree now. I don't have a P.H.D.; I never got that far. I guess I ran out of motivation. I was busy teaching here and I got involved with working on a State project, particularly in Ashland. Between the teaching and the grant in Ashland. I didn't really have time for taking courses. The work on the Ashland project started in 1973, and it didn't get finished until this past year 1982. so it had occupied my time for almost ten years. Tower: What have you seen as growth in the science department here at Plymouth? Dr, Cushman: First of all, Boyd Hall wasn’t even here in 1964. All of our academic subjects were taught in Rounds Hall. There were not any other classrooms available accept in Silver Hall maybe. There was just one biology and one chemistry lab. both were in Rounds. The science Faculty all helped plan the science part of Boyd Hall, including the greenhouse and the animal room. Since that time (around 1969-1970), we have seen the department grow. There are 13 members now. and when I came here there were only 5 of us. I replaced Dr. Boyd, who the building was named after, because he retired the year before I came. Our curriculum has greatly expanded; we have the atmospheric sciences now We have several degrees now that we did not have at that time. The chief degree we had when I came here, was the biology teaching degree. We trained teachers for the high school level. I think the college changed into a liberal arts college rather than a teachers college the year after I came. It was fun. but it was a lot of hard work. I would definitely like to do it again. The association I had with the students doing the play was different than any other association I have ever had with students in all of the years I have been at Plymouth. When you arc in a play the cast becomes an entity; you arc concerned about every person in that play, because whatever they do has an effect with what you do. There is a team effort that develops and it is a good feeling. You don't really get that feeling as a college professor with other professors, although there arc those that you arc close friends with. Tower: What are the changes you have seen in the students now, compared to the students in the 1960’s and 1970’s? Dr. Cushman: A class is an individual. The students that come in effect one part of me that likes something about them, and dislikes something about them. The 60's was a very torn period because of the Vietnam War. You have to realize it was a difficult time for me too. because I was a marine; I am very nationalistic and patriotic. Not everything that our country has done or has been involved in is agreeable to me. When I saw our servicemen being deserted in a sense, I didn’t like that. I don’t think the question of whether we should have been there will be settled for a long time. It will always be controversial. The students of the I960’s were caught up in this. It never was real bad here at Plymouth compared to what you would sec on T.V. in other places. I thought our students and faculty maintained a calm existence. Watergate affected the people of the 70's. Customs and mores were changing at this time. The student at the tail end of the 70's were kind of quiet and subdued compared to the others of the I960’s. We are in a period now of great change, where young people arc asking, where do I fit in? Tower: What is your outlook for Plymouth State and education in general? Dr. Cushman: I would like to see education lead instead of always follow. I have never seen education lead, and I know this is part of my problem too. I think Plymouth has a great opportunity to be a good institution. In the past it has been a good institution, it is now. Most of the faculty members here arc trying to do a good job. I would like to sec Plymouth doing more. I think the faculty has been forced to advocate changes in laws and so forth, with dorm life. I hear a great deal of complaining from students who arc doing well and live in dorms, that they can not study. It is also increasingly difficult to study in the library. No one is attempting to watch and keep things quiet. I don’t really know what the faculty members could do. I think the faculty should be more involved with what goes on in the dorms. I fee) I have a responsibility to be involved with the student’s environment. It should be an environment that is conducive to learning. Tower: What are your feelings of the overall growth of Plymouth? Dr. Cushman: When I came here in 1964. there were only about 900 students. Since that time new dorms have been added, such as Belknap, Grafton, and Smith. Boyd Hall and Hyde Hall were added. I came here the first year the library was used. The library has changed drastically since that time. I think what Plymouth has going for it. and what it should continue to be is a small college where a student can talk to his professors. I think Plymouth should stay about the size that it is. There is more administration now than there was, and it seems like it is more difficult to get some things done than it used to be. The number of forms a faculty member has to fill out, is that much less time that hc shc has to spend with the sutdents and with the subject matter. Tower What inspired you to gel involved with the Plymouth Players? Dr. Cushman: I have always had a desire to be on the stage. I think it first occurred to me way back in grade school. There was an attempt to include everyone in the production of a play in school. I worked backstage, because I was shy. My first role was changing the scenery in a Chinese play; I did a few things that caused people to laugh, so I started over doing it. I can recall afterwards, that I sensed my teacher had thought she had pulled the cork on a jcnnic bottle and wished maybe that she hadn't, but she was very nice to me and didn't scold me. I went on from there and did other plays in grade school and high school. However. I didn’t do any acting in the service or in college. Quite somtime later, my wife and I did some theatre in the Round in a small community theatre. Then another long time passed, until I did some acting this past summer, at the community theatre here in Plymouth, doing Dames at Sea”. I never really have appreciated Shakespeare, but when the Plymouth Players decided to put a Shakespearean play on (Romeo Juliet), I wanted to try. I even started growing a beard after Christmas, because I thought it might help me get a part. When the auditions were through. I managed to get a few small parts, but it really was what I wanted to do. I didn’t have to remember a lot of lines which was good because it was a difficult play. My appreciation for Shakespeare is better now than it was before I did that. Coach Currier Remembered By Dr. James Hogan The sudden death of Coach Charlie Currier was not only a shock to our local community, but to many New England Collegiate Football Coaches, as well. Chanel 13 T.V. sports announcer extolled Charlie on the Monday night Telecast (Jan. 30) showing Charlie in action working with the football squad and receiving excellent accolades from our very successful head coach. Jay Cottone. “Muggsy , as he was affectionately known in his circle of friends, was an outstanding sports figure. Charlie was on the ground floor in the organization and coaching of Little League Baseball in Plymouth and he also served for several years as Coach of the Plymouth Penguins Baseball team. In 1967 this semi-pro team won the New England Semi-pro Baseball Championship and were invited to and did participate in the National Semi-Pro Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. At Plymouth State he was a key figure in helping to initiate football and he continued to play an extremely active role until his untimely death on Nov. 27. Most people do not know the unselfish time, the countless hours Charlie gave to the football program. Charlie haf had the vision to realize that football, while a valid end in itself, had the potential of making PSC recognised for the fine academic institution that it is. He felt that football would attract more students here and help develop school spirit. He lived to see football reach a milestone at PSC this past year when the potent football team ran roughshod over 10 opponents cn route to winning it’s second straight New England Football Conference Championship. Also, Charlie saw our gridiron powerhouse share with St. Lawrence College the coveted Lambert Trophy as the best team in the northeastern part of the U.S.A. among Division III teams, furthermore, it thrilled him to no end when the Panthers were selected as the 10th best football team among Division III teams in the nation. Two weeks prior to his sudden death, Muggsy talked excitedly about the prospects that he looked forward to so eagerly for 1983 another fine year ahead. Over his lifetime, Charlie took an active role also in community affairs in Plymouth and Holderncss. His contributions were recognized when he was given the prestigious Granite State Award in 1973 by Plymouth State College. The community and college will remember him. At the wish of the Currier family, the Charles Currier Memorial Fund has been initiated to which contributions may be made in his memory. To those of us who knew him well, he will be remembered as a modest, hardworking, humble friend—a MAN, who left an enduring mark. reprinted from the CLOCK. Dec. 2. 1982 133 “Football” con't from pg. 100 Perhaps the key to the improvement in the offense was the performance of the offensive line headed by senior guard Ron Simmons, junior center Ted Moccia and junior guard Gerald Perreault. Other starters included senior tackle Paul Rousseau, freshman Randy Montciro. sophomore guard Ken Vancini and freshman tackle Steve Avedisian. Marco Vittozzi was the place-kicker. The season-opening 53-14 win over highly-rated Norwich University was one of the highlights of the season -along with shutouts over Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 35-0 and Maine Maritime Academy, 34-0. The Panthers posted six consecutive shutouts during the season a New Eng-land collegiate football record. With the loss of just 11 seniors and what appears to be a big recruiting season ahead for the PSC coaching staff, the future docs indeed look bright for Plymouth State College and it’s Panther football program. “Doing What Comes Naturally” con't from pg. 131 them Tower: Do you have any other comments about yourself or your classes? Downs: I look forward to coming to class; I make a point of having a good time when I teach. As soon as I start thinking of it as drudgery, then I’ve got to reorient my thinking and figure out what I’m doing wrong, so I can enjoy it once again. If I don’t enjoy it then I don’t want to do it; the same with art. I think you have to enjoy what you're doing and you have to somehow get the students to enjoy it. otherwise they don't want to do it. They just end up doing assignments as if it were high school. They've got to make it personal, something that's meaningful to them so they can enjoy it. 135 Medieval Forum Clock Article April 28. 1983 Medieval Forum 1983-Interesting, Scholarly And Creative The Fourth Annual Medieval Forum was held at Plymouth State College on April 22 and 23 Interest in the Middle Ages was originally sparked by the Medieval Studies Council The Forum opened on Friday morning by a procession of professors and students in lull academic regalia and medieval dress. About 140 people attended the keynote luncheon John Downs. Assistant Professor oi Art at Plymouth State College unveiled his work Regalia.

Dr. Sally Boland's contribution to this year's Medieval Forum was a talk entitled “William Blake and the Alchemists Dr Boland said that Blake, who lived from 1757 to 1827, was a visionary, that as a child he had seen angels and even the Lord God Himself. These visions were optically real to him and he believed that the material world, unless seen through a visionary eye. would entrap the mind and kill creative powers. Alchemy’s First goal in the 17th century was to turn base metals into gold. Later it became a much more spiritualistic project. Wax seals were used in medieval times in place of signatures, Alexander Weiber, a former linguistics professor, traced the history of the seals in his session on Seals Signatures in Wax. “Villains.
