A small change in names, involving the campus newspaper, from The Grapurchat to The Tartan. Then, the breeze turned into a cool wind with the biggest name change ever. It involved everything from the green-and-white Interstate 81 sign, saying “Radford College, Next Right,” to stationery to bumper stickers to t-shirts. Radford College was now a University. Since then the winds of change have grown even stronger, sweeping across this campus that’s ever growing, ever changing and, leaving in their wake a vitality and spirit unsurpassed in previous years. And so the Beehive staff has chosen “Winds of Change” for this year’s theme and invites you, the student, see what the winds of change have wrought in STUDENT LIFE, in ACADEMICS, in SPORTS, in GREEKS, in ORGANIZATIONS, in ADMINISTRATION FACULTY and, finally, in the STUDENTS, themselves. The 1982 Beehive is dedicated to the students as well as the faculty, the administration and the staff who had the courage, the drive, the dedication to see these changes blossom and mature and breathe life into the innovative spirit of Radford University. And now, come, flip through the pages of this book and feel, see and hear those cool winds a blowin’ for they are the Winds of Change. .. TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents 3 Changing with the wind People, places, things — nothing ever really stays the same. As we said goodbye to another summer, we realized that each of our experiences had changed us in some indescribable way, maybe even matured us a little. And so we packed away the books, the flowers, the ragged but comfy couch and chair, and our favorite teddy bear and headed for Radford, knowing deep within our hearts that this wasn't going to be just another year of college. . . As 6,120 students swarmed the campus in early September, a small army of men and trucks were putting the finishing touches on the multimillion dollar recreation-convocation center. Soon the big question on everyone’s mind was “When is the Ded-mon Center finally going to be open?” Once classes began, students quickly learned that dormitories weren’t just for sleeping and relaxing anymore. With the closing of Whitt Hall for renovation, students went to business classes and labs in dormitory basements and lounges. Yet, for those who had classes in dorms where their rooms were located, the situation wasn’t all bad especially when old man winter came storming in with his bone-chilling winds. After the dust of moving in, registration, and the first day of classes had settled, the exciting college life had begun. As they rushed with their favorite fraternities and sororities, partied with old friends and joined every kind of organization imaginable, returning students soon realized just how many new faces popped up around campus both on and off tne playing fields. And, no wonder. The biggest freshmen class in Radford’s history had enrolled for the year. Because of the high cost of out-of-state tuition and transportation 1,385 new freshmen, mostly from Virginia, roamed the halls, filled the dorms, and played in the gyms and on the fields of Radford University. During the year many found that the winds of change ushered in an aura of childlike excitement and wonder as well as a sense of accomplishment. Like children with a new toy, journalism students tapped stories into the new video-display terminal while students working at WVRU used the station’s new equipment to bring far away basketball games closer to home. To some, change had the atmosphere of Christmas.

A glimmer of light shines through the first stages of the Dedmon Center, symbolizing the dawn of progress for Radford University. 6 Opening Opening the door to progress and the Highlanders got the best present ever — a brand new basketball court underneath the air-supported roof of the Donald N. Dedmon Center. Who could forget that historic day of December 9,1981? Beneath partly cloudy skies and standing in wintry winds, bundled from head to toe, students, staff and members of the administration stood outside the revolving doors of the convocation center, waiting in anticipation of what was contained within. After speeches of appreciation and dedication and, SGA president Kenny Henshaw’s presentation of the pool that never was, the release of colorful balloons signaled the official opening of the Dedmon Center. Once they pushed their way through the crowd, students stood in awe of the immensity of all that was spread beneath the bubbled ceiling — basKetball courts, indoor tennis courts, jogging track, weight room, racquetball courts and a gymnastic room. Before long racquetball became a popular after-class pastime, and Rowdy Red joined the ranks of the Virginia Tech gobbler and the UVA cavalier. And yet, amidst all these changes, students realized that some things really don’t change after all, like long lines at registration and the bookstore, high-priced textbooks, dining hall food and final exams. But despite all that stays constant in college life and a swirling cloud of national conservatism, for Radford University students, the W’inds of Change are here to stay. . .

December 9. Opening 7 Still the same Life. Not just ordinary, everyday life, but student life. What did it mean in 1981-82? It meant living it up on Fridays, Saturdays, maybe even Wednesdays. Going to parties, sponsored by TKE, SPE or Pi Kapp, at the vFW. Or going to dances in Heth Ballroom, sponsored by the Radio Guild, the junior class or Ujima. It meant rushing for their favorite fraternity or sorority; gathering with friends at the Hideout, the Bus Stop or the Highlander Room for some laughs and a few brews; killing their frustrations during a hot and heavy game of tennis, basketball, football, or racketball on the courts or in the fields; and studying, alone or with their fellow classmates, in McConnell Library or a dormitory lounge. Above all, student life meant getting a little bit of culture from the theater, the ballet, the concert stage, and the guest speakers while still having some fun. From spring of 1981 to winter of 1982, students caugnt a glimpse of John Amos, best known for his role in “Good Times,” as the emperor escaping from his past as well as his people in “The Emperor Jones.” Some were even lucky enough to see and talk to the “real” John Amos as he roamed the campus casually dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt. After standing in line for at least two hours before show time, some students were lucky enought to rock and roll with their fellow classmates, 50’s style, as they watched “Grease” — a big hit with the audience and a sense of pride and accomplishment for the cast and crew. That year students cried with “Our Town,” laughed with “Winnie-the-Pooh,” rocked with .38 Special and Southside Johnny and displayed their own talents during Wednesday night Coffee Houses. Yes, amidst all the swirling, whirling winds of change that swept across the campus, student life still remained the same.

Low ticket sales didn’t stop students from seeing and hearing a live performance of their favorite hit, Hold on Loosely.” .38 Special’s unique combination of guitars and vocals helped students rock into the night.” 10 Student Life Abellera Rockin' into the night Low ticket sales and a dragging economy put a damper on the 1981 spring concert, but that didn’t stop RU students from having a “kickin’ ass,” rowdy time. The show still went on despite a small turnout, complete with foot-stompin’, hard-drivin’ southern rock. The good times began rollin’ with the country rock sounds of the Super Grit Cowboy Band from Raleigh, N.C. Those students from the Virginia Beach area as well as those who frequent such Blacksburg nightspots as Cowboys greeted the band with their rowdiest of cheers to show their appreciation. After a full hour of clapping and cheering from the audience, the mixture of rock and blue grass tunes came to a resounding end. Then, amidst the calm, .38 Special’s fiber-optic sign lit up the stage. The time had come for every- body to cut loose. The rockin’ had truly begun. With Donni Van Zant, brother of the late Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, taking the lead vocals while Don Barnes and Jeff Carles displayed their talents on lead guitar and rhythm, .38 Special kept the audience rocking with a cut from their fourth album, entitled “Wild Eyed Southern Boys.” Meanwhile, vocalists Carol Bristow and Lu Moss as well as bass guitarist Larry Jungstrom added to the band’s energetic, southern rock sound, leaving the crowd screaming for more. The real treat came when .38 Special performed its big hit, “Hold on Loosely.” At that time this song was number 25 on the Billboard chart as well as the most requested song on Roanoke area radio stations. Last year the band’s cut, entitled “Rocking into the Night” was a popular hit and, thus, gave them national recognition. Those who rocked into the night with .38 Special thought the concert was exciting and worth the money spent on tickets. Who knows? Maybe someday .38 Special will turn out to be one of those performers who appeared on the Radford campus just before they “made it big”, like Billy Joel and Pablo Cruise. As for the future of big rock concerts at Radford, former Student Life President Paul Noland said the construction of the convocation center may help to attract higgler “names,” though ticket sales really depend upon the economic situation. Now' that the Dedmon Center is complete, in spite of the economy, could a date with Pat Benatar or Kim Carnes be in the cards? They may not have camped out to rock on, but those who went had a rowdy time, anyway, listening to the rockin’ sounds of .38 Special which filled the air of Preston Hall. One of the band’s members encourages students to “get up’’, “get down” and “move to the sounds” of .38 Special. .38-Special 11 Making some magic for Jerry's kids c c X X £ ■c c « c c x E £ During a break from the longest dance of the year, this student won the chance to cream Dave Anderson, director of Residential Life, with a gooey pie.

Information and Publications If only the walls of Heth Ballroom could talk, what stories they could tell. Of flashing lights, rocking music and sweating dancers. Everything is quiet now. The brown tiled floor is bare. The chandelier is still. The walls are back to their peaceful, pale color. But it didn’t always look this way. For 28 hours, from March 27-28, the Ballroom was transformed into a room bursting with brightly-colored streamers, shimmery Greek letters and bold Uncle Sam posters proclaiming the fight against muscular dystrophy. With determination in their hearts and tennis shoes on their feet, 80 dancers stepped out onto the dance floor to make a little magic. And, make a little magic they did. $8,445 worth. But the Muscujar Dystrophy Association Superdance was more than just a dance. It was a fun-filled, wild-and-crazy event. When the dancers weren’t dancing, they were bidding to throw a pie at some lucky nerson; trying to become tne best at rolling toilet paper; dribbling ice cream down their faces as they attempted to eat the gooey stuff while blind-folded; learning how to belly dance; determining who had the hairiest chest; and working their jaws to a frenzy while trying to blow enormous bubbles. When they were dancing, amidst hand-painted posters encouraging them to “Keep Going,” they discoed, gyrated and did just about everything imaginable to the popular sounds of “After Six” and the “Communicators . In the afternoon they danced the day away as David Lee Michaels of radio K92 and Gary Moore spun Top 40 hits while they chattered away in DJ lingo. For spectators the MDA Superdance was as much fun to watch as it was to participate in. If they checked in from time-to-time, they could see their friends go from jeans and tennis shoes to shorts and barefeet as time danced on. They could also see everything from striped hats to punk sunglasses to wild Molly Hatchet T-shirts. For both spectators and participants alike, the best part of this super weekend was the formation of a long “people chain,” led by MDA poster children Eric Gerende and Rhonda Atkins, which wound and whirled itself around the campus. The most touching highlight of all, however, came when Cathy Sutton, Superdance chairman, read a telegram from Jerry Lewis expressing his regrets for not being able to attend, but saying he was there in spirit. On that note of encouragement, the dancers were able to finish that magical weekend in spite of weary bodies and aching feet. When it was all over — the last poster torn down, the last remnant of a streamer swept away — Sutton was proud, proud of the Superdance and, more importantly, proud of the dancers themselves. Said Sutton: “I was so happy to see enthusiasm throughout the dance. The dancers worked long hard hours to raise over $8,000, and I’m so proud of each dancer. The Superdance, to me, became one big super party, and I believe that, through various comments I’ve received, the dancers felt this way also.” And the walls? Well, if they could talk what stories they could tell as they peacefully await for Superdance ’82 in hopes that it’ll bring even more money for Jerry’s Kids. 12 Student Life .• fait � nd Publications Eighty dancers joined together to raise $8,445 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

MDA Dance Marathon 13 Starring-John Amos Spring usually brings it the beast in students, out after months of hibernation from old man winter and his bone-chilling winds. So, instead of filling the warm air with their primal screams, students could live out their native urgings and still get a bit of culture when the Radford University Theater brought a bit of the primitive jungles to the stage with Eugene 0' Neill’s play, “The Emperor Jones.” Directed by Dr. James Hawes, the production was highlighted by a special performance. In keeping with the tradition of bringing a professional actor or actress to the school so that budding actors can perform with a professional, Hawes supplied a well-known actor to play the leading role. John Amos, best known for his roles as Kunte Kinte in “Roots and as ny V “Good Times,” graced the stage in Porterfield Theater. As the overthrown emperor who must flee from his people as well as his past, Amos was an asset to the play. His booming voice and hulking presence filled the stage like a rampaging bull. From beginning to end his acting capabilities were put to a test of endurance, which he carried off successfully. The play combined many things which helped to make it a visual success. Scenery, made with much care and planning, transformed a bare stage into the deep, dark jungles of the West Indies. Costumes and lighting effects further elevated the audience to a higher plane of participation. With so much visually seducing the audience, the production proved to be an evening worth remembering. ,’ostuming, elaborate scenery ind make-up as well as student alent added to the success of he spring theater presenta-ion, Eugene O’Nem’s The Smpcror Jones.” Information and Publications John Amos, well-known for his role in “Good Times”, displays his talent in the leading role of an emperor who must escape from his past as well as his people. 14 Student Life During the performance of The Emperor Jones,” RU students had the opportunity to receive advice from television star John Amos of “Roots” fame.

EmpcrorJones 15 Standing out above the crowd “The potential we have is so great that the only thing lacking is a positive attitude and initial motivation.” “I feel that we can achieve anything if we only set our minds to it and convince ourselves that it’s possible and within our grasp.” These were the words of one tired but satisfied August Hoffman. Jr., one of 15 outstanding students who, with determination, motivation, and hours upon hours of research, accomplished some fairly outstanding goals. For Hoffman, that goal was the breaking of a double world record for continuous sit-ups. For the other 14 students, theirs was to publish a book on Appalachia. Inside the Radford Barbell Club, on a Saturday afternoon. Hoffman laid on the carpet, pulling his upper torso towards his knees in rapid succession for nine and a half hours until he reached the magic number of 26,051. Within that time, Angel Bustamonte’s 1077 record of 26,000 situps in 11 hours and 44 minutes had crumbled. In breaking the record. Hoffman fulfilled a longtime goal which also supported his masters’ thesis in clinical psychology- “This was an opportunity for me not only to demonstrate the hypothesis of my thesis, but also to explore my own physical limits in terms of endurance.” With six months of intensive physical and mental training, a supportive crowd cheering with every successful sit-up, and in accordance with the Guinness Book of World Records’ regulations, Hoffman easily endured the long hours of pain and agony that rode on the heels of victory. He could break for bathroom privileges as well as several brief intervals for a snack con- sisting of raw eggs, honey and chocolate bars. As he neared the previous record of 26,000, the crowd of about 40 pushed him farther towards the realization of his astounding goal. “The crowd was great .. . when I started to get up to 26,000, they began to count out loud,” he recalled. “That was very encouraging so I just kept on going.” But more than just the encouraging crowd, the mental and physical preparations. Hoffman’s strong belief in himself was the real clincher. “1 feel that there’s a strong relationship between what people think they can do (selfperception) and what they actually do — especially in sports. At first, they didn’t think they could do it. They didn’t think they had the potential to write, then publish, their own book. But for the students of honors Knglish 132, A Journey Through Appalachia was the fruits of their dormant potential. When Dr. Grace Edwards, professor of this mainly freshman honors class, approached the potential authors with the idea of compiling a book as their final project, they were somewhat apprehensive; yet, they voted unanimously to do it. After hearing Edwards’ idea, Meg Poffenberger, a freshman from Luray, Va., thought. “Gosh, we can’t write a book. It’ll be a lot of work and a drag.” But after she saw the Final product, she soon changed her mind. I was pleased with the results.” Though they may not have had much confidence in themselves. Edwards knew these students could do it. After all, they were special. Because of their high SAT scores, they were exempt from English 131. Just as they were some- what apprehensive about writing the book, so were these special students apprehensive about the class itself. “I didn’t want to learn about it (Appalachia) at first, said Poffenberger. But, gradually, as they became exposed to the Appalachian region, its people and its customs, they began to understand, and, more importantly, to learn. “By studying the region, people realized that Appalachia wasn’t a lot of hillbillies.” said Dave Provost, a freshman whose family just moved to Virginia from New Hampshire. “There were educated people in the colonies who'd studied the Greek classics, but when they retreated to the mountains, survival became their main focus, not Oedipus.” After hours of research, writing and polishing the papers tnat would eventually turn into their first book, the students spent the next Five weeks outside of class trying to survive the world of publishing. It took dedication, organization, commitment, and, above all, cooperation. “Everyone got along really well, like a family,” said Carolyn Page, author of the paper entitled The Impact of the Depression in Appalachia.” Alas, the fruits of their efforts blossomed into a book complete with sketches, photos, and an assortment of colorful topics from Appalachian superstitions to funeral customs. After tasting the sweet fruit of bis victory, Hoffman had said, “There’s a great need for research to be done in so many areas. Perhaps, we, as individuals, can devote more time to some of these areas.” Record-breaker. AuKU-t Hoffman takes a short break during: his nine and a half hour workout.

A day full of promise, high expectations and energetic anxiety. A day filled with emotional exchanges between graduates and relatives, and graduates and friends. A day they hated to see end, for this ending meant the end of good times and the beginning of hard times. It meant stepping into a world of uncertainty — uncertainty about work, about marriage, and about life itself. Yet, nothing, not even the threat of an uncertain future could rain on their parade. For their day was a special one, surpassing what must be a Radford graduation tradition — rain. Under clear blue skies and in the warmth of the sun, parents helped thejr graduates adjust their caps and straighten their gowns, determined to make their son’s or daughter’s appearance as perfect as the day. With their tassels straightened, their traditional black robes neatly in place, and a nervous fluttering wallowing in Sherril Stull waits patiently among fellow students to receive her diploma. This R.U. student expresses her appreciation in a special way. the pits of their stomachs, the class of ’81 filed past family and friends on the lawn of McConnell Library to await the culmination of long years of study — a degree. As he stood before the 783 graduates, the largest graduating class in Radford’s historv, President Donald Dedmon delivered a short opening speech comparing the day’s sunshine to rainy days past. While they listened, each couldn’t help but recall his past at Radford — roommates, dates, friends, papers, classes, exams, long lines, frustrations, tears, laughter, freshman anxiety and, at last, senior confidence. With the call of his name, each was brought back to the reality of the day as he ascended the stage to receive his long-awaited degree. When the ceremony was over they couldn’t help but feel a mixture of sadness and joy as they bid farewell to close friends and the freedom of college life. Writh love in their hearts and proud smiles beaming on their faces, each ran into the open arms of loved ones as their brains softly throbbed, “I made it. I finally made it.” Graduation 19 Working for fun and pay at Busch It's the end of another year at Radford University. The car is packed from floorboard to headliner and the trunk couldn’t hold another pencil. Parents are patiently waiting as their son or daughter give summer good-byes to their frienas and dear old RU. As they make their way back home, many students know the entire summer won’t be scheduled with relaxing and fun in the sun, but instead a consistent three-month work overload to earn extra dollars for the next school year. To many, it’s probably a grim thought to be working at the same place and seeing the same people for only minumum salary, but a few students here at Radford work at a place that hires some 1,600 employees and enables them to meet any number of new people everyday. The working area for this vast number of employees spans across a two mile area known as the Old Country, Busch Gardens. Busch Gardens offers a variety of summer jobs in departments such as food and beverage, live entertainment and operations, to name a few. An employee may be a sweeper or hostess, cook food in one of different restaurants, operate a ride or just spend his entire time inside a costume enter taining guests. Several Radford students have said Busch Gardens is such a unique place to work that it basically motivates them into going back from year to year. Kathy Dossett, a junior at Radford, works as a student assistant on campus. She has worked in the food and beverage department at Busch Gardens for four years. Her work location in the park was at the Barbecue Pits in “The Country of New France.” Dossett said she would often work 55 to 60 hours a week, twelve hours a day but she also said, “When com- filiments are received rom guests it makes the work all worthwhile.” A designated costume must be worn by all employees for each of seven countries at Busch Gardens and Dossett said, “1 felt like I assumed a job of superw'oman in my uniform. I sensed a responsibility for the good time of people and even when I was in a bad mood I never would show it because I knew my moods shouldn’t be taken out on guests.” Dossett said Busch Gardens provides opportunity to meet more people and do more than she would ever experience in any summer.

Williams is a junior and is majoring in special education. She is currently working on Stuart first floor as resident assistant. For the past three summers, Williams has been floundering about the Old Country as a costume character for the live entertainment department, trying her best to keep guests entertained. She considered herself “the friendly welcome wagon of Busch Gardens” because the heart of her job was to interact with people and make them happy. Williams wore the costume of ‘'Tallulah” the frog and when she climbed into her costume she said, “I could be somebody 1 wasn’t. 1 used all my creative ability to make guests laugh even when it was 85 to 90 degrees outside”. Williams wasn’t required to wear the costume for eight hours a day. She said her work intervals were for thirty minutes and then she would climb out of her world of make-believe and take a thirty minute bread. Williams said. “I felt proud being a costume character because I felt exceptional and unique.” Donna Joyce, another Radford junior, is major- ing in office administration and is a work-study student in the office of Residential Life. Joyce has been working the past three summers for the operations department. She’s one of a thirteen-person team who oversees Lezmans race ears in “Country of France”. Her work week consisted of approximately 55 hours, ten hours a day. Joyce enjoyed working at this location because she could stay outside all day and work on her “farmer’s tan”. Her job involved a tremendous amount of running because she had to direct guests to the curs, assure their safety and direct them from the ride. Joyce said she would meet people all over the country and from foreign countries which sometimes caused communication problems. She said, “It’s hard to tell an Iranian to exit to your left because they have no idea of what you’re talking about”. Radford students who have worked at Busch Gardens feel genuine warmth toward employees and guests. They believe Busch Gardens looks out for its former employees by offering to rehire them each year and generally tries to help high school and college students by offering them summer work.

If they didn’t have this program, I’d be lost,” said one new freshman student who attended Quest ’81. Quest ’81, a summer orientation program designed for incoming freshmen and new transfer students, was held in five two-day sessions starting June 21-July 1. A total of 1,152 students and 1,452 parents attended the program and had the opportunity to become acquainted with Radford University in areas of academics, residential living, university policies, and social activities. The success of the program was evident in many comments received from parents, students, and administrators. “I feel a lot more comfortable about sending my daughter to college, because I know what’s going on and she does too,” was the response from a parent. “The whole program was a university-wide effort,” stated Dave Robertson, associate dean of students. “E very-one who helped with Quest ’81 contributed a lot of time and energy, but I feel the Quest Student Assistants were really the key to the success of the program.” Due to an increase in the number of people attending Quest ’81, 20 Quest Assistants were chosen from over a hundred applicants. After an application and interview process, the final decisions were made. “I feel we did a good job in selecting people of various personality types. Of course, you need people who are knowledgeable about the university and are outgoing, because it’s hard to just walk up to a group of people you’ve never seen and start talking,” said Robertson. One of the main attractions of Quest ’81 was the University Life program sponsored by Quest Assistants. This program consisted of numerous skits to give students information in a humorous, ret interesting manner, peeches were incorporated into the program so students could better relate to the information. “The enthusiasm was great. They made the whole program very enjoyable,” said Robertson. “I thought the skits were the best part of Quest ’81, because the Quest assistants really got into the roles they were playing. The skits were tunny, but you remembered them and I learned a lot about college life,” said one freshman participant. Most students and parents completed a survey at the end of each Quest session. The question with the most positive re-sponse was that the Quest assistants were very helpful and that the entire program helped participants. But the students and parents who attended Quest '81 weren’t the only ones who enjoyed the program. Many Quest assistants themselves made comments such as this one: “I had such a good time during Quest ’81, because I felt like I was doing something for other students. It also made me proud of Radford University. I developed a lot of confidence in myself and it’s nice to know that I have 19 other “best friends” that I can rely on when I need them.” Quest ’81 was certainly a success and that success had a definite bearing on the attitudes of the new students. Quest ’81 23 R.U. student and father carry some of the many possessions brought to college. Moms get in on the “moving in' experiences. Moving in, again Lugging refrigerators, stuffed animals, clothes, books, albums, and other possessions from home flourished across campus during the first of September, fall quarter, 1981. The major question of moving to college was, “What should I take?” The answer was simple, “I know, I’ll take everything!’ Faithful parents were coerced into backbreaking labor, and sisters and brothers were carted miles away from home to help “move in.” During the “moving in” process, hugs were frequently exchanged, laughter floated through Sjads, and the bare cubi-e referred to as a “room” was breathed full of life for new and returning students. For some new students the ultimate question was, “Where's Heth Hall?” For returning students their feet prodded mindlessly over the worn pathway to the Highland Room for a beer and reunion time with old friends. Conversation was excited when meeting roomies and “neighbors” down the hall. Old friends were discussing summer escapades and the upcoming collegiate “headaches.” During “pre-school days,” night was daytime with Jimi Hendrix putting a “Purple Haze” into the skies of Radford at 4 a.m., and day was nightime with blissful, “uncomplicated-by-school-work” sleep. New surroundings seemed almost alien until the familiar possessions from “the old room” made tiny cubicles of Radford University, “home.” 24 Student Life A favorite chair is brought to make a room seem like home.

Moving In 2si Registration full of frustration Complications, aggravations, four-letter words, and one big headache — add these ingredients together and what do you have? The dreaded task on the Radford campus before the beginning of every quarter — registration. When students were asked their opinion of registration, they described it as “one big pain in the ...” Fall registration for freshmen, seniors, and graduate students began Tuesday, September 8 at 8 a.m. in Peters Hall. Juniors, sophomores and returning freshmen registered Wednesday, September 9. I found registration very frustrating and aggravating,” complained one sophomore. ‘‘I waited in line almost four hours and didn’t get any of the classes I wanted”! Most upperclassmen spent two to four hours registering for fall quarter. Because there was a limited number of students in each course, many did not receive the classes they needed. New freshmen had the advantage of pre-registering at Quest, while all upperclassmen had to wait until their assigned time. Business courses and general education requirements such as English, physical education and the sciences were the most difficult to acquire according to the majority of students, while electives and fine arts courses seemed “much easier.” “Registration needs improvement!” ex- claimed a graduate student. “I think we ought to go to the computer method, like many other schools. It would be much easier and would save us a lot of time.” This student ponders over what book she neeas at the Book Exchange SDonsored by SGA. Right: Long lines at registration causes frustration for most students. 26 Student Life Book buying pains Moaning and groaning, cash registers ringing, and the ripping of checks filled the basement of Heth Hall as students purchased their textbooks for fall quarter. Most underclassmen waited in line an average of 35 minutes before reaching their final destination — the cash register. The bookstore was forced to open two additional checkout lines to handle this growing mass of impatient students. The average student spent a total of $75-$100 on textbooks each quarter. Nursing majors usually purchased books totaling $175-$225 per year. Freshmen, who once had an advantage of buying used books from upperclassmen at a discount price, were forced to invest money in new books because many courses had changed publications and printers. Because textbooks were replaced, the upperclassmen lost extra profit they would’ve made by selling their books. “The price of books is really getting outrageous”, commented a junior accounting major “Now that they changed the text, I had to spend more money than I planned, and I gained no profits from my old books”. The majority of busi- ness students were required to purchase more new books than other majors, since most business texts changed. Because of changes in general education textbooks, most undecided majors had the disadvantage of buying many new books. The majority of students found it aggravating when they bought required books and discovered that their professors neglected to use them during the class. “I was really upset when I spent $25 on a chemistry book and my professor didn’t even use it in class”, exclaimed a nursing major. Other students griped because books were only-used for one quarter, and they didn’t get much use out ofthem. A freshmen chemistry-student complained because information in the book didn’t relate to material in class. “I think it’s unfair to us students when we spend good money on a text book and the professor doesn’t apply information from it in class,” he commented. Although the price of books is getting “outrageous,” students will be constantly purchasing them out of necessity. The familiar moaning and groaning and cash registers ringing will always be heard at the beginning of each new quarter.

Kegistration'Book Buying 27 It’s a great day for a picnic! “It was great!” said Theresa Trohaugh, a junior math major, about this year’s outdoor pic-nic concert. “It gave me a chance to see all my old friends.” As well as giving upperclassmen the chance to renew old friendships, new students had an opportunity to kindle future ones. The Student Life outdoor picnic, held in conjunction with the Club Fair, took place September 9 on Heth lawn. Dinner was moved outside as students mingled to the music of the North Star Band. Country rock, fried chicken, and Highlander hospitality mixed with perfect weather to form a “you-are-crazy-if-you-missed-it” event. “Club Fair was also successful,” reported Gary Gaston of the Dean of Students office. Forty-one clubs and organizations manned booths during the two-hour event. “It was an opportunity for clubs to show students what they can get involved in,” said Gaston. As an incentive to participants, the Student Activities Budget Committee offered prizes for three original, creative, and informative booths. The Raptist Student Center captured first place with their version of comic-strip Lucy’s “The Doctor is In’’ lemonade stand. “It was more than the physical structure of the booth,” said Gaston. “It was the way people manning the booth presented themselves and their organization.” Recreation Club and Wesley Foundation took second and third prizes respectively. As the crowd began to break-up, laughter could still be heard sweeping across campus. Chairs and tables were being returned to Heth Hall and everyone began getting “psyched” to begin fall quarter classes. All in all, it was a great day for a picnic! While they munched and mingled among friends, students listened to the country rock sounds of the North Star Band. Students had plenty to choose from when piling their plates with southern fried chicken and baked beans during the annual fall picnic. 28 Student Life Mark Ant ley For the upperclassmen, chatting with old friends added a special touch to the picnic. During the picnic, students could wander over to the Club Fair to see what various organizations had to offer them.

Almost every campus has them and Radford University is no exception. Unbelievable? Walk across campus on any given day and you’ll see them — Preppies. Preppies have been around for years, but not until The Official Preppy Handbook was published did they begin to get noticed. You can pick them out a mile away, and their clothes are often the first giveaway's to their identity. Preppy favorites in the clothing line include: khakis, button-down Oxford cloth shirts, Lacoste shirts (the more you have, the better), Shetland sweaters, and the all-time favorite, Top-Siders.” Variations of this dress code can be seen once in a while — preppies must have some type of identity of their own. Speaking of iden- tity, most preppies have their initials put on everything they wear just so everyone knows who they are and the preppy doesn’t forget himself. The list of accessories associated with preppies is endless. A necessity for ladies is a bead necklace to be worn with every outfit from your Brooks Brothers dress to your nightgown. For the gentlemen, matching two-tone belts and watchbands are required. Whatever the accessory, make sure the color is outrageous (hot pink, kelly green, or lemon yellow are all acceptable), and a monogram should be present (so you can tell whose purse is whose). Why has this Preppy craze been so successful at Radford University? No one really knows, but most people guess that The Official Preppy Hand- book and all the preppy araphernalia might ave some connection with the craze. This preppy craze has gone beyond classic clothing. According to The Handbook, there are preppy cars, television shows, books, vacation spots, schools, nicknames, and even a type of preppy language which includes abbreviations. In fact, there are specific rules to determine if you’re a “true Preppy”. However, the preppy craze has done more than produce more preppies. The I hate Preps” have become a class in themselves. They, too, have a handbook and proudly wear buttons saying “Save an alligator — eat a prep”. Many of these students can be seen on campus, too, and they’re proud to wear their uniform of jeans, sweatshirts, and sneakers. From traditional pageboy to penny loafers, this Radford student is “preppod” out. The anti-preppy movement is equally present, as shown in this nationally-distributed poster. ...EATA PREPHE. a 30 Student Life Feature i 1:1111.: ' l.l Ml K- r:ry Bruce I)c i “Muffy and “Biff' are the essence of this preppy seenerio.

According to writer Eric Segal, “preppy” was a derivative of preposterous. He could be right. What students witnessed was, to say the least, a preposterously funny presentation on the virtues of the preppy lifestyle. Birnbacn appeared in a blue Brooks Brother blazer, khaki skirt, a cotton turtleneck covered by a hot pink sweater, green knee socks, and penny loafers. Birnbach is the 24-year-old editor and cowriter of The Official Preppy Handbook, by Workman Publishing. She gave, in a lecture slide show, some of the necessary elements that make up a preppy. “I believe cigarettes are a good asset to any preppy,” she said. Birnbach smoked the Parliament brand. A vital requirement for any preppy is that he or she must drink. “Preppies live to drink,” said Birnbach. According to her, a can of beer adds the finishing touch to any preppy look. “You should never be caught up,” said Birnbach. “It’s not preppy.” When parties and partying were discussed, she said jokingly, “I like to think of college as the tween preppies of the opposite sex, Birnbach said there’s a special vocabulary used by preppies. “Preppy guys refer to their girls as tunas; preppy girls refer to their guys as beaus.” There are even preppy forms of entertainment these days. Preppies should read the two all-time preppy books, A Separate Peace and Catcher in the Rye, and watch the preppy television shows “M-A-S-H,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Lucy Show,” and “Gilligan’s Island.” If that’s not enough, Birnbach stated that preppy can even be found in the automobile market. Preppy cars, called “prep-mobiles,” are foreign-made, non-Japanese models like BMW, Audi, Volvo. Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen. With automobiles like BMW, Mercedes and Volvo, one might think being a preppy requires a lot of money. Not so, said Birnbach. “You can lead a very nice life without being wealthy.” Princeton is considered the most preppy Ivy League school. But Birnbach feels Hampton-Svdney, near Farmville, Ya., rates as one of the top preppy schools in the nation and is definitely the most preppy school in the state. She used slides to illustrate preppy looks, then followed with a “most” preppy contest which involved members of the mostly student audience. Eleven students were chosen by a preliminary judge at the door and were given green tickets. These students appeared on stage with Birnbach for her final selection as “most preppy.” “It was really exciting,” said Susie Lavin, a freshman from Middle-burg, ra. Lavin said she’s a born preppy and refers to her hometown as “true Preppy country.” For her future plans as a preppy, Lavin said, “My goal is to convert third floor Trinkle into preppies.” Birnbach’s book has been highly successful. “The book is in its 21st printing,” she said. It was originally the idea of a writer named Jonathan Roberts. With a team of three other writers, he and Birnbach put the book together with “research day and night for two-and-a-half months nonstop.” When she isn’t traveling to promote her book, Birnbach enjoys such hobbies as watching soan operas, especially “All My Children,” writing, and “summering.” One of Radford's preppicst students demonstrates the ''Gator”.

Lisa Birnbach 33 Coming home to memories It was a time of nostalgia and reminiscing for Radford alumni as they gathered for the Homecoming festivities on October 3rd and 4th. Events such as a theatre production, a concert, an art exhibit, receptions, speeches and sporting events were planned, which probably caused retrospection for the older alumni who participated in activities such as these. According to an unofficial estimate by the Office of Alumni Affairs, approximately 400 Radford graduates returned for Homecoming, from the class of 1919 to the class of 1981. Their visit inspired a lot of reminiscence and brought out mixed emotions about Radford’s growth. Homecoming was a step back in time for Mary Manning Hazelwood, who graduated in 1947. “It almost brings tears to my eyes,” she said. “I feel like Dr. Peters is here, and Dr. Moffett. They're walking around here.” (Dr. David W. Peters was the president of Radford College from 1938 to 1951. Dr. Mary Ledger Moffett was Radford State Normal School’s Music Director at its opening in 1913. She became the state's first female Dean of Women in 1920, serving in that position until 1962.) Leigh Scruggs, who performed two original piano compositions in the Music Alumni Concert, remembered the training Radford girls got from Dr. Moffett. “Dr. Moffett made us carry books on our heads so we’d walk straight. I guess if I ever slumped on stage she’d haunt me. Dr. Moffett was going to make ladies out of us if it killed her, or killed us.” Scruggs graduated in 1943. Genette Stallard Mullins, class of ’37 and her husband, Edison, remembered dating at Radford State Normal and Industrial School. “I had to sign out for her,” said Mullins. They even wanted to see my driver’s license.” “Like 16-year-olds,” added his wife, who was among the first students to eat in the “new” dining hall in 1935. Twenty-five years later, dating at Radford College was much the same. As a protor, Sara Furr Snelson, class of ’61, had to announce, “You have a caller in the parlor,” whenever a girl had a male visitor. “A boy had to come to the dorm three times before he was put on the approved dating list,” she said. Only after her date achieved the list could a girl leave the campus with him “and your parents still had to sign a card before you could ride in a car with a boy. We couldn’t have cars til we were seniors.” Radford has changed a lot for graduates and there are almost as many reactions as there are alumni. “It’s changed tremendously,” said Snelson, “100 percent. It’s much more relaxed in every way.” “110 percent,” added Mary Ann E. McClure, Snelson’s college roommate. She found the strict rules prison-like. “We like to watch the changes,” said Pat Manning Tutko, the new president of the Alumni Association, who graduated in 1959. “We’re delighted that Lucas Hall has been given back (to alumni). It gives us roots.” Curtis Watts, a 1975 graduate, said “It’s sad to see the changes.” He objected to changing attitudes and a “rah-ran” atmosphere, evidenced, he thought, by the number of fraternities and sororities. “You didn’t need an organization to tell you to E) out and party,” said ewis Tomlin, class of ’77. “You knew all the males.” Why do alumni return? Curiosity was mentioned most often, from the earliest graduate to the most recent. But there were other reasons. “I still miss all the good times,” said Vicki Lamma, a 1981 graduate. And since many new graduates’ friends are still in school, we can still relate,” said Susan Murphy, also of the class of ’81. However, graduation was too recent for there to be much novelty in returning. “It was fun for the week-end but I’m ready to leave,” said Lamma. So 60 years of history came to visit. For the most part they seemed impressed with the new Radford and remembered the old one fondly. “I grew up here,” said Snelson. Sne added, either in warning or invitation, “Someday you’ll be where we are.” Kar right: During Homecoming weekend, a special dinner was planned exclusively for alumni which allowed them to get together and talk of old times at Radford.

Homecoming 35 Welcoming parents for a weekend ; It seems as if Mother Nature decided to do her part in helping the multitalented students of Radford University show off, their school on Parents Weekend. On October 9-11, reasonably good weather provided 718 families the opportunity to explore Tartan soil and enjoy the many colorful sights and sounds of Radford’s campus. After having cleaned their rooms for the “white glove” test, many thoughtful students welcomed their parents by presenting them with mums and boutonnieres. Smiles were abundant as students and parents saw each other for the first time in weeks. Throughout the weekend, students gave it their all by performing in many different shows and exhibitions. The Radford University Theatre presented Thornton Wilder’s Our Town in Porterfield Theatre to a full auditorium and the Marlins splashed their way into “show biz” with an aquatic arts exhibition in Peters Hall pool. The Highlander Band was busy w’ith a concert in Preston Auditorium and the Redcoats, Radford’s equestrian team, stole the show with their high-stepping mounts. Other highlights of the weekend included R.U. men’s soccer team match with Washington and Lee University. Student Life members presented the movie Ordinary People and Society for Collegiate Journalists sponsored an apple butter brew on Muse lawn. So that parents could mingle with professors, academic open houses were conducted in various fields of study. Open houses in the greenhouse, radio station, TV studio, human performance lab, and other areas allowed parents time to explore some of the more interesting aspects of the university. Other activities included an Alumni Student Art Exhibit in Kent Gallery and a nursing capping ceremony in Preston Auditorium. The president’s luncheon and dinner on Saturday’s agenda drew a large crowd. 1,060 parents dined with and were honored by speeches from President Donald Dedmon. Ending Saturday’s activities, the annual Harvest Ball, sponsored by the German Club, rocked the campus with music by “Gas House.” Thanks to the joint efforts of students, professors and administrators, Parents’ Weekend was again viewed as a great success — and one of the most exciting events of the year!

You’re surrounded by mutants and a baiter has just appeared on your scanner. Suddenly, you’re hit from behind and your ship explodes into multi-colored bits across your screen . . . No, this hasn’t been an army training exercise. Right now people of all ages across the country are paying to be blown up . . . and loving it. This is the video craze and it’s taking the U.S. by storm. The throbbing, mechanical pulse of “Space Invaders,” or the loud gulp from a “Pac-Man” machine can be heard from any previously idle corner of almost any store, restaurant or bar. Radford students are certainly not immune to video game mania. Aside from video game machines in nearby stores, the Heth game room also has many machines. One student said, “I play just to kill time, but it’s fun and it tests your ability to respond. It challenges your quickness.’’ The phantom “Defender” champion claims to hold not only all 10 places of “Today’s Greatest” but also five of the “All Time Greatest” scores. Why does he play? “It relieves tension.” But as he assumed his rigid “game stance,” with perspiration running down his face, it was doubtful this was one of his calmer moments. There’s a rumor video games might be addictive. The first symptom of addiction seems to be the addict’s reaction to quarters. Quarters are the major component in playing video games and video addicts often experience an inability to part with them. Merchants tell stories of having to pull quarters from hysterical customers who seem to be moaning, “As-teriods,” between sobs. Addicts also seem to have quite a reaction to the simple mention of “quarter.” A history novice told of his fantasy to be “quartered and' sectioned.” He assumed the meaning of this was to be given an infinite supply of quarters and be put in a room by himself with the video game of his choice. Another student told of choosing to attend Radford University because of its “quarter” system, and students can also be seen trying to “play” laundry ticket machines — a reflex reaction from having to put a quarter in a slot. Aside from psychological complications of video games, there are also physical ailments, such as: “Faser Finger,” involving curvature of the forefinger; “Hyperspace Hip,” the thrusting of the hip bones out of their socket because of an emotional Hyperspace escape; and finally, the infamous “Pink Palm,” which occurs from slap-ing the machine when a player’s ship, tank, or man has been destroyed. One good game deserves another, and soon, playing video games can become costly. One player boasts of having spent over $5 a week to improve his “Pac-Man” game. He might not be able to pay for his second quarter at Radford, but he’ll be able to play a mean game of “Pac-Man. Banks could be thinking of ways to help students with their costly pastime, possibly introducing “ga-iaxian accounts” or special “quarterly loans.” Space age society reflects its technology even in it’s entertainment, and regardless of reason or means, the video craze seems here to stay . . .

It was greeted warmly by audiences and enjoyed a successful run. All three of its Parents’ Weekend performances were sellouts. In only three short weeks, 41 actors and almost 50 technicians put together a unique and eventful play. Under the direction of Dr. James Hawes, the actors became their characters. It was their task to bring life to the written lines and description on the lifeless pages. Technicians set up the many lights as well as the few pieces of furniture and scenery. Although this aspect of the show was kept at a minimum, various sound effects filled in the gaps. Using cues from the actors, the process was indeed detailed. At times, rehearsals were a bit tedious. Some actors were only needed in one or two scenes, yet they had to attend every rehearsal. Sometimes scenes had to be gone over two or three times to get it done correctly. This was time consuming, but it had to be done. When they weren’t needed, actors kept themselves occupied by doing homework or quietly talking with fellow cast members. One actor kept people amused with finger performances and Bette Davis imitations. Once the intricate costumes were stitched together and the makeup applied, it all fell into place. The stage became a small town in New Hampshire; and the actors, its citizens. Evidence of their success showed in the nightly receptions and applause that greeted the curtain calls. The show was indeed a success, showing what hard work and determination can do. Emily talks while her mother complacently snaps beans.

Preston Auditorium provided the setting for this annual event which featured Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and special guest star Delbert McCIinton. The bands jammed the night away on October 21, although the entertainment began a little late. When Delbert McCIinton was introduced, the eager crowd of students roared. McCIinton and his band, consisting of six members, entertained the anxious crowd with their southern rock and blues mixture of music. Playing for about an hour, McCIinton received a few standing ovations from the audience after singing such great hits as ’‘Standing on Shaky Ground” and “Givin’ It Up For Your Love.” On McClinton's last two songs, Southside Johnny accompanied McCIinton, raising the concert-goers to their feet. The presence of Johnny stimulated the spirited crowd and encouraged them to begin asking for the main attraction, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. After a half-hour intermission, the blues music of Southside Johnny filled the auditorium. The majority of the crowd remained standing, as they danced and clapped throughout Johnny’s exhilarating erformance. The As-ury Jukes, consisting of eight members, accompa- nied Johnny with melodies and solos of a saxophonist, trombonist, trumpeter, drummer, and two guitarists. Backup vocals of two female members added harmony to the band’s music. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes entertained the enlivened crowd with such songs as “She’s So Fine” (by the Supremes) and a couple of Motown classics, “Stop — In the Name of Love” and “You Don’t Know Like I Know.” The band played a Bruce Springsteen song, “The Fever,” which pleased the crowd, as they rose to their feet, dancing and singing. The song “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney also received welcome applause from numerous fans. At one point Southside Johnny jumped from the stage and headed toward the crowd.

The atmosphere is sparked with enthusiasm around the end of October, as students plan for weeks what“tney’ll be” (besides drunk) on Halloween evening. The tradition of spooks, hosts and goblins has een surpassed by the astounding creativity of Radford students. The usual monsters, cats and cartoon characters, walking dorms, stumbling paraphernalia and moving inanimate objects abound on campus during the RU social phenomenon called “Halloweek.” Heth Hall is the place to be on Halloween, if only for sightseeing. Cameras flash constantly and shreiks of laughter fill the air as students crowd the ballroom and attempt to dance while outrageously costumed. Never does Radford University host a gala event so full of fun and endless imagination. Besides being labeled ridiculous, students attempt to wear outlandish costumes to win prizes. “The more unusual, the better” is the basic criteria for judging Halloween outfits. It’s entertaining and amusing to watch stu- dent response to people wearing masks. Incognito students often portray the character’s or object’s personality they represent. Pseudo policemen were seen chasing flashers, call girls or obscenely dressed students. Dracula stalked around the dance biting necks while monsters made gory faces at everyone. It was almost frightening when the S.W.A.T. team stormed the dance. Alpha Psi Omega, a dramatic honorary, held a make-up session to help students perfect their costumes tnis year. Student response to this service shows that R.U. students are serious about having fun. There were plentv of doctors and nurses on call Halloween in Heth Hall to help this accident victim.

Night life in Radford offers a variety of bars from which to choose. Graduating seniors may remember when the Hide Out was the only bar in town, but we’ve come a long way since then. The Depot (originally the Disco Depot) opened in April 1979 and Radford's two new night spots, the Bus Stop and the Campus Club, are certainly welcome additions. Campus Club, which opened in January 1982, is the newest of Radford’s pubs and is owned by Gary Cummings. Cummings is the founder of the Campus Clubs of America and oversees clubs throughout Florida and Virginia, including Radford and Blacksburg. Radford’s Campus Club features live music four nights a week with no cover charge on Wednes- days and Thursdays. Campus Club, located on Tyler Avenue, also specializes in $1.25 sandwiches during the day and evening. Tuesdays at the “Club” are sponsored by one of the fraternities, offering students “happy hour” beer prices all night. Another new “hot spot” in Radford, the Bus Stop, celebrated its grand opening on September 9, 1981 and is owned and managed by Ed Savage, a Radford University graduate. After finishing school last May, Savage converted the Norwood Street bus station into a spacious, one room “watering hole” in which the booths are made from old Greyhound bus seats. The Bus Stop, equipped with pinball and electronic game machines, offers a “laid back” atmosphere with a wide variety of musical entertainment and features nickel beers every Friday Night, as well as “Ladies’ Night,” sponsored by the TKE fraternity, on Thursdays. The Depot, the largest of Radford’s night spots, is the perfect place to “dance the night away.” The most popular night is 35c beer night, sponsored by the Phi Sigs every Thursday, when Radford University students “rock and roll” and “disco” to a variety of songs selected by the disc jockey. Often the Depot features live concerts such as Bruce Springstein’s “E Street Band,” “The Nighthawks” and “NRBQ.” The Depot’s restaurant, The Station House, specializes in Mexican-American food and offers “two for one” mixed drinks every night from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Both establishments are owned by Disco Depot, Inc. and managed by Joe Ryan. Radford’s first and oldest bar, the Hide Out, is located on the corner of Tyler Avenue and Downey Street. Jointly owned and operated by Pete Keciorius and Doug Bartlett, the Hide Out’s rustic decor includes walls covered by old license plates and a balcony with wooden railings. The pub was renovated last summer, adding a stage for musical groups and incorporating one area as a game room. The Hide Out features live bands three or four times a week and sponsors “Ladies’ Night” every Tuesday. The bar also has a brick patio which is a popular gathering place during the warm months, especially spring and summer quarters. Other popular “hang outs of the college crowd are the Highlander Room’s Wednesday night “coffee house,” parties at V.F.W. (Veterans of Foreign Wars) building, and the Tyler Inn. There’s also several off-campus parties every weekend which are usually open to anyone willing to pay a small cover charge. And various on-campus clubs and organizations sponsor parties in dormitory basements and dances in the Heth student center. An important part of a college education includes an active social life and with all the things to do and places to go in Radford, there’s no reason for any Radford University student to complain about “having nothin’ to do!” So the next time you ace that chemistry exam or complete a 12 page term paper, let yourself unwind with the help of one of Radford’s “night spots.” Nightspots 47 Christmas became a joyous one for Tiny Tim (Holly Schenck) as well as Bob and Mrs. Cratchit (David Fenley and Sally Ann Moore) thanks to the generosity of Ebenezer Scrooge (Steven J.

Charles Dickens’ immortal talc on the stage of Preston Hall December 4. 48 Student Life Before the Christmas break, the Student Life Plays and Shows Committee gave students a special holiday treat — a musical version of Charles Dickens’ immortal tale, “A Christmas Carol.” The production illuminated the Preston auditorium stage while allowing the audience to witness the true meaning of Christmas. Presented by Bill Fe-gan Attractions of Dallas, Texas the familiar tale of Ebenezer Scrooge delighted everyone. The events involving ghosts, townsfolk, and the Cratch it family were recounted with new energy and excitement. Well-rehearsed and ready to perform, both actors and actresses brought to life all the joys and sorrows of this classic Dickens tale as the audience sat in awe of the true-to-life sets and the colorful costumes. Everyone, from the town beggar to the ghost of Christmas past, wore a costume seemingly taken straight out of the 1800s. The scenery, filled with quaint shop windows bursting with Christmas goodies and beaming with the warmth of candlelight, transported the audience back into a world full of nineteenth century charm and heartache. Yet, the brilliant colors, especially the “Christmasy” reds and greens, overshadowed the sadness of the Crat-chit family and poor Tiny Tim, injecting the audience with a bit of Christmas spirit and good will. With the slump in the economy having dampened the holiday spirits, “A Christmas Carol” seemed like a cool cup of eggnog, while subtly reminding us that the true meaning of Christmas lives on despite hard times.

Much to Piglet’s (Mary Knapp) and Rabbit’s (James Medley) dismay. Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit’s hole after feasting on too much honey. 50 Student Life Flying high for honey “Isn’t it funny how a bear likes honey?” This was the question presented in the opening: song from the production, “Winnie-the-Pooh.” The children’s musical was staged by the Radford University Theater winter quarter and played for young: and old alike. Under the direction of Tammy Scruggs, performances were held for enthusiastic audiences December 11 and 12, with three special showings the following: week for area school children. The story, as told at bedtime to Christopher Robin (Rob Duckworth) and a stuffed “Pooh bear,” was based on those of A. A. Miline and had a great deal to do with Pooh’s (Tony Westbrook) love of honey. While Winnie-the-Pooh was tempted by a buzzing: in a nearby tree, the other animals feared the arrival of a “monster” who carried her only offspring in her pocket, along with a bottle of “poison.” Eey-ore (J. Patrick Miller), a special favorite with the children, was the worst predictor of doom. While Pooh was busy performing Radford’s first flying stage stunt in search of the elusive honey, his best friend, Piglet (Mary Knapp) was “kidnapped” by the monster, Kanga (Sheri Stanley) as a suitable companion for Baby Roo (Susan Hodnett). Together, they set up house under Owl’s (Brian Ho-back) tree. In a well-remembered scene, Winnie-the-Pooh, after overindulging in honey and marmalade, became stuck in Rabbit's (James Medley) front door, trapping the runaway Roo inside. After an attempt to trade Roo for Piglet failed, Pooh turned himself over to Kanga. But she sent them both packing when Pooh, rather ungraciously, gulped down her bottle of honey-flavored “strengthening medicine.” And, just in time for Pooh’s birthday party, complete with a sizzling birthday cake. The party summed up the mood of the entire play —-festive. All of the characters were played well in fanciful costumes, and the song and dance routines added much to the overall enjoyment of the audience. In the local children’s eyes, the play was especially successful. Yet, for those adults who were fortunate enough to see it, “Winnie-the-Pooh” couldn’t help but bring out the child in them. Soft, cuddly costumes like these rabbit suits added to the success of “Winnie-the-Pooh . under the direction of Tammy Scrujwrs.

Winnie The-Pooh 51 Getting the spirit During the pre-Christmas frenzy students had expectations of leaving the college grind to be with people they loved. And yet, they couldn’t help but remember the days of their childhood, when they laid wide awake in bed on Christmas Eve, listening for Santa and eight tiny reindeer. The holiday spirit also brought back memories of the romance of Christmas and of first learning the true meaning of Christmas — the birth of the Christ child. The memories of being a child provided several community children with hope for a joyous 1981 Christmas. During the Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) Christmas party December 13, students like Darlene Link. Karen Stein-bacher and Chris Donahue sponsored a local child. Once sponsors and children were together, they sang carols around the piano and played games like “chocolate chip.” When Santa finally arrived, the children tore into brightly-wrapped packages, giggling with delight as they revealed the contents within — trucks, dolls, games and candy. A group of children from the Headstart program had a merry pre-Christmas, too, thanks to Alpha Sigma Tau (AST). On December 12 the children, dressed in festive reds and greens, gathered in Heth Lounge A. Filled with excitement and bursting with holiday energy, the children couldn’t wait to play such games as, “Pin the Tail on Rudolph” and “Reindeer, Reindeer, Rudolph.” Once they became tired of playing these “reindeer games,” thev could visit Mrs. Santa who gave them candy canes and hugs. Once Santa arrived with his bundle, the children’s spirit came alive again. As their little hands deftly tackled the bright bows and ribbons adorning these colorful mystery boxes, they squealed with delight when they found everything from little cars to little Radford University t-shirts inside the brightly wrapped packages. Memories of being a child at Christmas weren’t the only ones that materialized during those three weeks before the break. For those who attended the winter formal, memories of Christmas romance came alive in Heth Ballroom December 12. Followingthe theme entitled “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” the ballroom Mark Principe and Cindy Hall enjoy the romance of Christmas during the winter formal in Heth Ballroom.

Christmas 55 Swans, songs and satin Alison Stillman These elegant swans graced the Preston Auditorium stage during the RU dance theater's performance of Act II in “Swan Lake. Lush costumes, pink satin pointe shoes, and supple bodies graced the Preston Auditorium stage as the Radford University Dance Theater performed scenes from two eternal classical ballets: Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. Stars of the performance were guest artist Miguel Campaneria from the Pittsburgh Ballet, and Dagmar Kessler, previously a ballerina with the London Festival Ballet and currently an instructor of dance at Radford. Frano Jelincic, artist-in-residence at Radford, produced the performance that proved to be a delightful experience for all who attended. Campaneria’s performance in both ballets displayed a smooth adeptness and a crisp technique. His leaps and turns were masterful, the overall execution of his roles was electrifying and the audience responded with thunderous applause. Campaneria also proved to be an excellent partner for Ms. Kessler. “Pas de deux,” or a dance for two, is one of the most difficult aspects of ballet dancing. An explicit trust must exist between the two dancers. Campaneria and Kessler seemed to have found that trust — their pas de deuxs showed excellent style and considerable skill. Ms. Kesslar’s performance as Odette, the doomed swan in Swan Lake and as Aurora, the rincess in Sleeping eauty revealed a ballerina of truly high standards. Both of these roles are highly coveted and Ms. Kessler did them justice. Her impeccable line, awe-inspiring balance and amazing extension combined for an ex-hilirating performance. Campaneria and Kessler weren’t the only stars of the performance, however. Robert March, from the American Ballet Center in New York, displayed astonishing elevation and speed in his portrayal of feline affection that induced laughter and filled the auditorium with applause. The corps de ballet cannot be forgotten in any ballet. They are the hardworking dancers who suffer through long hours of rehearsal and receive little praise for their performance. The swans in Swan Lake gave a memorable performance. The intricate, swan-like movements of the head and arms were executed with complete unison, a commendable performance for a group of 10 dancers. For those who attended this performance and for those who danced it, January 28 and 29 were transformed into nights of magical enchantment in a world of harsh realities.

A newcomer to the Radford stage, freshman Barry Delaney displays his acting talents as Andy Hobart, the cunning magazine publisher. 58 Student Life Information and Publications Three’s a charm (Ed. Note — The following is a personal account of the winter quarter production, “The Star Spangled Girl” from the perspective of Sheri Stanley who played the part of Sophie Rausch-mayer.) The cast list was up and set for Neil Simon’s “The Star Spangled Girl.” Freshman Barry Delaney was chosen to play the role of Andy Hobart, senior Mark Curran as Norman Cornell and myself as Sophie Rausch-mayer. It was winter quarter and one week before Christmas break. Before we left, the director of the play, Mr. Chuck Hayes, held two“read-throughs.” Here, the cast sits around a table and goes through the entire play in order to get a feel for it. By the time we returned from our vacations, we were more than ready to begin rehearsing. We had some of our lines memorized and some idea of who our characters were. I spent my break practicing a southern accent for the role of Sophie. Our rehearsals began promptly at 7 p.m. and ended about 9:30 p.m. until they got progressively longer. Hayes, in his usual efficient and professional style, began the tedious, yet necessary, “blocking” of the play. Here, approximately a week is spent figuring out where, how, and why to walk and move by the use of stage directions. After having the weekend off, a rare treat while rehearsing a play, we were ready to go “off book.” This means the actors may no longer use their scripts while rehearsing. During this time a prompter, usually the stage manager, is prepared to call out a line when the actor yells for it. Pat Miller had the difficult and time-consuming job of stage manager. This position includes many responsibilities, among which are making sure the actors are positioned where they’re supposed to be, preparing the stage before rehearsal and performance, and giving lighting and sound cues to the technicians. The weeks after blocking and memorizing were spent polishing and developing characters and actions. Postive re-en-forcement from Hayes helped a great deal as did the pointing out of our mistakes. During the five full weeks of rehearsal, the set was built bit-by-bit by designer, Mr. Carl Lefko and his crew. Each night something was added until it was finished, aiding our acting by adding some realism. Experiments with costumes, designed by junior Jacqueline McCoy, heean the last few weeks of rehearsals. Fortunately, most of the costumes were found in our own costume department. Usually as rehearsal time grows shorter, so do tempers. However, since the cast of this play was so small, we didn’t have that problem. Though, we did have our moments. The final week of rehearsals were spent getting lighting and sound cues exact, which can be rather tedious job for all involved. These rehearsals are appropriately labeled “tech rehearsals” and no one looks forward to them. However, they are necessary. Finally, “dress rehearsals” began. Here, everything from lighting to makeup is finalized. Hayes warned no changes are to be made without his approval. There’s a general rule, or joke as it may be, among actors that if you have a bad dress rehearsal then you’ll have a good show. Well, our dress rehearsals went pretty well and, superstitious or not, I was scared. My fears, however, were soon diminished after the play received welcome reactions of laughter and applause during the week of performances, Feb. 9-13. Because of the small size of the cast, this was a different experience for many of us. Only a handful of people made up the crews and there was plenty of space in the dressing rooms for a change! Star Spangled Girl 59 Despite the first major snowfall of the year, students still had classes, anyway. But there was alwavs hope that professors wouldn’t make it. After dropping off a friend, this student scoots across campus to avoid a long walk in the bone-chilling snow. January's big snow” made the walk to class a bit more exciting than usual for these coeds. A lot It came as quietly as it went. Yet. before it came, a certain excitement, a certain anticipation was already brewing. Some said forecasters weren’t miracle workers, that they could only base their predictions on probabilities. Others said they’ll believe it when they see it. But, sure enough, it came that night of January 13, starting as tiny specks that soon colored the bare ground and sidewalks wintery white. Snow. Wondrous, glorious snow. Soon, beneath the warm glow of lamp lights, the entire campus turned into a winter wonderland. Alas, old man winter was here to stay, at least for a long while. Early the next morning, anticipation was stirring about once more as we clicked on our radios, hoping beyond all hopes that classes would be cancelled. We listened, oh so carefully: “Bland County, Bedford County .. . Montgomery County of snow, ... Roanoke County ... Radford City,. . . schools are all closed today . .. New River Community College, National Business College, Wytheville Community College will not hold day or evening classes today ... A winter storm warning is still in effect...” Damn! Everything else is cancelled but us! So we auickly turned off the radio and turned on the showers to get ready for still another day of classes despite the luscious snow. The time had come to put on the rubber boots or duck shoes, the heavy-coats, the leg warmers, the ear muffs, the mittens and the mufflers to brave the wet, sticky-white stuff that tickled our noses and melted on our books as we headed across campus to class. Some still had hopes that maybe, just maybe, their professors’ cars wouldn’t start or would be stuck in the snow. Not on your life! Come but still rain, sleet, hail or snow — especially snow — professors always manage to make it somehow, someway, even if they have to abandon their cars and walk or hitch a ride with someone who has snow tires. But despite the fact that we still had to go to class, we enjoyed the first big snow of the season anyway. After class and on the way to the dining halls, we threw down our books, picked up a gigantic wad of you-know-what (packing it in nice and tight) and began slinging them through the air with the greatest of ease, squealing with delight as we watched them smash against our friends’ hair. The ever popular snowball fight, a perfect way to relieve frustration as well as the winter blahs. Then, as soon as nightfall hit, we grabbed the oF pigskin, our winter gear, and a couple of friends and went outdoors to play a game of football beneath the glow of lamp- Terri Link e go light, kicking up the shimmery, powdery white stuff as we landed in all eight inches of it. Yet, while we were enjoying the thrill of it all, we soon forgot how dangerous, even deadly snow and ice could be. Just a few hundred miles away, in the nation’s capital, a plane crashed into the 14th Street bridge killing most of the passengers and crew on board as well as many innocent people driving along the bridge below. Meanwhile, all across the country, hundreds of people had died as a result of old man winter’s bag of tricks — ice, snow and sub-zero temperatures. But that still didn’t stop us from enjoying our first major snowstorm since last March. We ran in it. slid in it, even made doughnuts in it; yet, all the while dreaming about our winter break in February when we’d leave old man winter behind and bask in the sunny warmth of Florida. 60 Student Life Although the winter winds wailed, Midge Prince enjoys the beauty of the surrounding winter wonderland.

Dazzling the crowd with his deft keyboard work, this curly-haired band member keeps the fast pace going. 62 Student Life Boogying ’til midnight Anxious for a break from the winter blahs, students welcomed the Skip Castro Band to Heth Ballroom as a winter quarter mini-concert, sponsored by Student Life. Packing the smoke-filled ballroom to enjoy this popular Charlottesville, Va. band, they received just what they came for. The Skip Castro Band was blazing hot, but the beer was plentiful, and desired, as long lines formed to obtain the golden beverage. The Skip Castro Band has been together since 1978, and the experience showed. Constant touring up and down the East Coast keeps the band tight and knowledgeable on how to make a crowd boogie all night long. Lead guitarist Bo Castro started to work on the crowd early by jumping and bounding across the stage with his wireless guitar wailing the rocking blues that Skip Cas- tro is known for. The song, “Sweet Little Rock and Roller,” was the first one to really ignite the crowd, but it was only the beginning. Bassist Charlie Pastorfield kept the tempo rolling with “Jim Dandy to the Rescue” fol-lowed by the upbeat “Frustrated,” which got everybody dancing. Dancing was a problem because of the large crowd jammed in front of the stage, but plenty of boogying went on around the outskirts of the crowd where room was plentiful. By the time Skip Castro got into its serious rhythm and blue standards, the crowd was nearly explosive. The tune, Just Like a Woman,” started off the rockin’ and had everybody singing along on the chorus. This was followed by Skip Castro’s own Boogie ’Til Midnight,” the title of their album and one of their most polished songs. The old rock-and-roll standard Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” closed the show to thunderous applause and screams of “more, more.” The Skip Castro Band did come back and give more, perhaps the best two songs of the evening. The old rocker, “C.C. Rider,” had everybody in attendance moving to the beat, yelling and singing along. The band then Hosed the show with “I Don’t Want to Work,” and after the final reverberating chord, the members disappeared off stage. But never fear, Skip Castro fans. They were impressed with R.U.’s warm welcome and vowed to return. As Charlie Pastorfield left the stage, he shouted, “We like ya’ll a whole lot,” and by the sound of the crowd he must of known the feeling was mutual. Skipping right along, the Skip Castro Band goes with the flow. Left: Guitar in hand. Bo Castro keeps the music blazin', filling the Ballroom with “rocking blues.” Skip Castro 63 Pushing buttons: a way of life Pushing buttons. No matter where you looked, somewhere, at some time, somebody was pushing buttons — in the cool confines of Heth Hall where the bleeps and blurps of “Pac-Man” mingled with screams of frustration; in the musty basement of McConnell Library where screams of student ecstasy shouted, “It worked! It really worked!” amidst humming computer terminals; or in the tiny journalism lab room where student anxiety reached a high point as journalism majors cautiously tapped in news stories on the new video display terminal (VDT) and prayed — prayed they wouldn’t push the wrong button, wiping out forever their glowing words of “journalese.” Journalism majors weren’t the only ones battling the frustrations from pushing the wrong buttons. Deep within the confines of McConnell Library, computer science majors wrestled with their old friend, the computer terminal, as they worked out new programs, occasionally winning the battle by pushing the right button. Meanwhile, business students were pushing another kind of button — those belonging to the dorm elevator. As construction workers ripped out the insides ofWhitt Hall, dorms became more than just places to sleep, study, and relax. Suddenly, their basements were transformed into classrooms, typing labs and professors’ offices. For those not touched by the computer craze, academics was business as usual — typing term papers, cramming for exams, and attempting research in the crazy, mixed up world of McConnell Library. For those bitten by the electronic bug, whether by choice or by force, pushing buttons was more than j ust a fad — it was a way of life. With the new video display terminal (VDT) in the journalism department, students can now receive practical experience in editing and writing copy using this new technology that’s sweeping newsrooms across the country. Rocky Womack, senior journalism rmyor, assists a student with typing in her news story on the VDT. 64 Academics Divider Exploring topics from all angles How would you like to read extra books, write a major term paper and have lots of outside work requirements on top of your regular class schedule? Approximately 80 students involved in the honors program this past year did and loved it! “It gives superior students a chance to go beyond the things they’re doing in the courses they have as part of the ordinary curriculum,’’ explained Dr. Robert Gill, director of honors program. “At the same time it provides faculty with the chance to teach small classes in their special areas.” Enrollment in honors courses and seminars are limited to 20 students. Fall quarter a Vietnam War seminar was offered to people willing to work harder than average. Two speakers came to Radford to voice opinions about the Vietnam War — Seymour Hersh, a former New York Times reporter, and Hampden-Sydney College President Josiah Bunting, Jr. Gary Collins, a junior history major, said the honors courses give “students a chance to explore a subject in depth, to go to the root of the problem and to study the history of it more intensively.'’ Collins said he hopes more students become involved in the program. Sophomore philosophy major Brian Thomas believes honors courses and seminars encourage student participation and discussion.” Thomas added, “The professors treat you like equals in these courses and they really want you to voice ideas.” Greg Evans, a sophomore business major, isn’t in the honors program but is sure the average person can handle the extra work. Referring to the Vietnam War seminar, he said, “It’s more difficult and more time consuming than a non-honors course; but you can learn a lot.” Gill explained that everything is covered cohesively in honors courses: literature, art and politics. The speakers program also gave a few students a chance to talk to people who are well-known names in their field. “A speaker like Seymour Hersh comes to Radford and it benefits everyone here, including all the people who didn’t go to see him, because they’re still living in an environment where things like that are going on and I think that’s part of what it means to be a university.” “(Honors program) gives superior students a chance to £0 beyond the things they're doing in the courses they have as part of the ordinary curriculum.” — Dr. Robert Gill Y’vonne Knudsen 66 Academics Mr. Josiah Bunting, Jr., president of Hampden-Sydney College. chatted to students of the Vietnam War seminar before he delivered his speech on the same topic. Mr. Seymour Hersh, former New York Times reporter discusses the media's coverage of the Vietnam War with honors students. Honors Program 67 This does not compute’ After hours of computations, Sylvia Rilee tries her computer program on the terminal in the basement of McConnell Library. Being a computer science major isn't easy as Matthew Harris soon found out. If his program doesn't work this time it could be back to the drawing board. Those cream-colored cards we’ve all clutched possessively to our chests at registration were the same cards used everyday by students interested in the computer science field. Using computer cards and other paraphernalia became second nature to these students who were to be respected for their comprehension and application of this study that often left the rest of us in a state of “computer psychosis.” Yet for computer science majors, this technological field is a true challenge. Junior, Linda Eancs agreed. “It is a real challenge, but everyone likes a challenge ...” Explaining the worth of the sometime marathon computer sessions, senior Kim Canavan said, It’s a hard class but, it’s a skill worth having when you go out looking for a job.” The atmosphere surrounding this complex world was just what one would expect — utter chaos. During library hours at least a dozen perplexed students could be found in the basement, which housed the terminals and key punch machines, toying with their programs amidst millions of key-punch cards and rumpled program print-outs. As Gail Colvig described it, “Very frustrating.” Another frustrating aspect of the program were the facilities. Students said some machines were out of date and weren’t used anymore by other institutions. Earnes, a math computer science major who’s concerned about her future, said, “We should be using the Hewlett Packard. Nobody uses key-punches anymore. The H-P would save time and eliminate the need for cards.” Another frustrating problem was the lack of machines to accomodate all the students. During fall quarter approximately 300 people enrolled in a computer class. “The teachers are doing the best job they can; it’s the university that’s at fault,” said Canavan. But Dr. David Albig, chairman of the math, statistics and computer science department defended the university, saying, “We’re constantly upgrading our facilities. We've expanded the last two years from one computer room to four.” This expansion should accomodate the influx of people interested in computers. Dr. Albig emphasized that, “If someone is majoring in computer science, we (the department) will find room for him.” The main reason for increased interest in the Erogram, according to Al-ig, was the excellent job opportunities. All businesses are constantly shifting their data to computer systems and someone has to run them,” said Albig. “It’s the old story. Supply can’t meet demand and limited supply becomes much more valuable.” Radford, despite alleged setbacks, has continued to keep up with demand through it’s challenging, yet rewarding, computer science program. 6S Academics With the growing increase in the number of students interested in computer science, practical experience is a must in order to compete for jobs. That's why Kelly Profitt doesn't mind putting in long hours before the terminal. Vic Waters quickly checks his notes before proceeding to the next step in his program. Computer Science 69 With the renovation of Whitt Hail, one of the older buildings on campus, business students were forced to move elsewhere for classes. Once it’s completed, the classrooms will have more space. Construction workers continued their work on the 52 year-old business building. What were once classrooms became piles of rubbish and debris.

MU 3BLG. If so, you're probably one of many business or economics students who attended classes held in Muse dormitory while Whitt Hall was being renovated. The 52-year-old business building was closed at the end of spring quarter, 1981. Construction was planned to start by the end of July, but was delayed two months and so work began in October. Renovations will mainly be inside Whitt Hall. New heating and cooling systems are planned in spaces which will be created by the lowering of ceilings in the building. An elevator will also operate in the center of all three floors. Space is being rearranged to provide more room for students and faculty. Along with new offices and classrooms, one planned room will house business machines and computers. The only revision on the outside of the building will be replacement of window glass. Louvers which will work with the heating and cooling system will also be installed. Not only did renovation mean finding new classroom space, but it also necessitated moving 31 faculty and staff members. including Dr. Lee Hall, dean of the School of Business and Professional Studies. Temporary office space was established in basement areas of several dormitories. With as many as six faculty members sharing an office, problems of privacy and access to classrooms and chairpersons were obvious. The renovation is expected to be complete by fall of 1982. Dean Hall noted weather will pose no problems, since the greater part of work is to be done inside. He also cited present economic conditions as an encouraging factor. There should be no difficulty in obtaining labor or equipment. While most students see the classroom situation as an inconvenience, hopefully it will be worth the wait. For many business and economics students, dorms became more than just places to studv, sleep and relax. Because of tne construction in Whitt, they became classes and labs as well. Once the renovation is completed, Whitt’s new look will only be apparent on the inside. The window glass, however, will be replaced. Whitt Renovation 71 Toddlers’ paradise On the first floor of McGuffey Hall, amidst the whir of sewing machines, the animated sounds of children can be heard. These sounds seem out of place at most universities, but are frequently heard throughout the day at the Radford University Nursery School. The school originated 18 years ago. It is now under the supervision of Mrs. Virle Payne, assistant professor of home economics. Mrs. Payne has been at Radford for 16 Sears, and has always een involved with the nursery. The environment of the school is a toddler’s paradise, complete with plenty of windows, a playroom, toys, books, snacks, a playground and numerous caring college students as their teachers. The school serves a dual purpose as it is also a center for those interested in child behavior and home economics. It provides students with time and the opportunity to experience and interact with the children enrolled. Not only do the student helpers who deal directly witn the children gain valuable insight, but child psychology majors also benefit.

This little girl is part of the nursery school located on the first floor of McGuffey Hall. connected to microphones in the playroom enable the student to observe the children anonymously and thus more objectively. Debbie Clem, a sophomore majoring in child psychology, had an assignment where she had to watch a child behind a two-way mirror for a number of hours. Clem feels the idea of applying classroom learning to a real life situation is a good one. “And besides,” she says, “I just love watching the kids.” On the other side of the mirror, Angie Bach, a junior majoring in psychology said, “We don’t teach them half as much as they teach us. I think they make more sense than some adults.” Most of the fall nursery-workers were in Child Development 305, a class with three hour lectures and a 2' z hour lab. Bach, one of two work-study students, said, “I’d do it even if they didn’t pay me. I just love kids. They’re mv life.” Except for the mirrors across the back wall, the nursery school appears typical of others throughout the United States. In this case, looks are deceiving as the school is more than just a babysitting agency — it func- tions as a vehicle to enhance the developmental growth of the children. Bach explained, “During part of their activity time the kids are allowed to do anything they want within reason. This way they are learning to be independent.” The children’s daily program includes everything from music and reading to science and art. Outside of their ordinary activities, the children enjoy walks through campus and trips to a museum, a city park and a dairy farm. Senior Gwen Sutphin, a home economics education major, tells of the time the workers took the children to the tower in Muse Hall and let them look out over the town and campus. “The elevator isn’t a big thing for me, but the kids really got a kick out of the whole thing.” The positive atmosphere of the nursery school encourages independence and expression and is possibly the reason that demand is always freater than space,” said Irs. Payne. All parties who have contributed to the success of the school are glad they have. This makes the school a double success. 72 Academics With a two-way mirror built into the playroom, students can observe tne nursery school children from afar.

Quantity foods lab was funded by the sale of the Radford University farm and is run by dietetic and food service students with some assistance from their professors. Students sign up for the class and operate the cafeteria as a lab. For every hour of lab credit taken by students, three hours of lab credit must be spent in the cafeteria. Each student is assigned a particular time whenever a meal is served. During fall quarter, seven juniors, five seniors, and one graduate student worked in the lab. Senior students planned the menu, ordered food, and assigned jobs to get the feel of running a restaurant. White uniforms or lab coats and close-toed shoes are required. Jewelry can’t be worn because of sanitation standards. Lunch, the only meal served, is made mostly from scratch. The menu consists of many standard items and occasional specialties. Students usually prepare 60 or more entrees for each lunch. Luncheon prices are reasonable because the lab operates on a “break even” basis and there are no employees to pay. A menu is sent to every office on campus and is posted in Heth Hall and in the library. A forest mural, gold tables and chairs give the cafeteria a pleasant atmosphere. The food is served a la carte. Last year a flat fee of $2.00 was charged for a complete meal. The majority who eat in the quantity foods lab are faculty, staff, and day students. The cafeteria seats 36 and is sometimes quite crowded. Smoking isn’t permitted because the cafeteria is considered a lab. The lab, run by the management and food service classes, provides practical experience in quantity cooking, food preparation and management skills. As a change of pace from lunch in the dining halls or the High- j land Room, students can eat in the quantity foods lab cafeteria. 1 Room 115 McGuffey. where they I can sample such taste-tempting c treats as turkey divan and lemon squares. _ Z o 74 Academics Besides students, faculty and staff also enjoy lunch in the quantity foods lab where they can choose from a varied menu including two entrees, vegetables, salads and breads.

Many of this year’s college graduates wiU acquire a new class ranking: unemployed. Spring quarter can mean the desperate realization of the cold, cruel world that awaits seniors. For this reason it’s also one of the busiest times of the year for Radford University's Career Planning and Placement Center. Still, seniors who haven’t planned for the future by spring will probably be jobless for some time to come. Most national recruitment programs end by April. With Jim McBride as its new director, this school year can be viewed as a period of experimentation for the center in how to best serve student’s needs. In the past, RU’s Career Planning and Placement Center has met the immediate needs of many seniors. But, in a fall interview, McBride revealed plans to shift emphasis on planning to juniors. He outlined an exhaustive campaign which was slated to begin in the winter of the 1981-82 academic year. Under the new plan, freshmen and sophomores will be referred to the Counseling Center, with which Career Planning and Placement works closely. Also planned is the re- cruitment of new employers for on-campus interviews. Traditionally, the majority of these recruiters have represented the field of education. According to McBride, “Alumni in business and industry are opening the door for us in this area.” This plan, however, is still is the conceptual stages. In addition to these changes, the Career Planning and Placement Center provides numerous services such as seminars, library resources, employer information ana a new walk-in resume service. Career Planning and Placement Center aids students in the preparation for future as well as summer employment by helping them write resumes and plan for job interviews.

In addition to providing such services as employer information. resume-writing seminars and library resources, Career Planning and Placement also gives students information on summer internships and government jobs. Although most of the center’s work involves helping seniors in their never-ending search for a job.

I think we’d better get Ms. Short and start praying. ...” If you’ve ever passed by the journalism lab in McGuffey B9-A you were bound to hear a similiar conversation plus a whole lot more, as journalism students tapped in their news stories on the new video display terminal, (VDT), an electronic typewriter with a small screen. According to Mr. Charles Millsaps, acting chairman of the journalism department, the VDT “isn’t so complicated to operate.” The students thought otherwise. Recording their precious news stories in this strange, fickle device was a nightmare to say the least. In a matter of seconds a story could be lost forever by pressing the wrong button or by mishandling the disc which stores the copy. Despite their entanglements with this new technological monster, the students marveled over their new toy like a child on Christmas day. With the printing device which accompanies the VDT. they saw their journalistic masterpieces transformed from glowing blue to solid black-and-white. While journalism students went through VDT growing pains, those interested in telecommunications experienced pains of their own — the pain and agony of developing, producing and directing their own television programs. But they didn’t mind. With two new TV cameras and a sophisticated TV studio, they allowed their creativity to run rampant as they learned the fundamentals of television production.

Learning the mountain ways Surely, the majestic mountains of Southwest Virginia are a sight to behold. The seasonal changes of their timber capture one’s emotions. Wildlife roam the woods with innocence. Crystal clear waters flow naturally down the winding stream beds. In winter, snow blankets the evergreens and enhances the feeling of oneness. And spring ... a new birth! Ah, the glorious mountains — so close to nature and to heaven. If you want to experience the culture and customs of Southwest Virginia, it's now possible through a program introduced under the School of Arts and Sciences. Appalachian Studies is a new minor offered by Radford University and was introduced last fall after three years of preparation. The interdisciplinary minor involves instruction from various departments and electives can be selected from ten different disciplines. Requirements of the program include courses in Appalachian culture, folklore, history, and literature, as well as, a field research course and an additional nine quarter hours of related electives. A committee to administer the Appalachian Studies program was formed in 1980. Members of the committee included eight Radford University professors: Ur. Melinda Wagner, chairperson, anthropology; Ur. Grace Edwards, associate chairperson, English; Ur. William Hrezo, political science; I)r. Harold Mann, history; Ur. Steven Pontius, geography; I)r. Thomas Shannon, sociology; Ur. Richard Straw, history; and Ur. Douglas Woolley, economics. Before implementing the program, the Appalachian Studies committee sought approval from the University Curriculum Committee, the University Affairs Council, and Radford University President Donald Dedmon. The Appalachian Studies program offers students an opportunity to observe the traditions and folklore of the Appalachian people through a number of class field trips offered during the year. Students participating in the folklore chorus last fall attended the Blue Ridge Folklore Festival at Ferrum College. Some of the customs and crafts of the event included quiltmaking, basketweaving and farming techniques. Appalachian ghost stories, fables, and folk songs were also featured at the festivals. Senior Liz Hitz has taken three courses under the Appalachian Studies program and feels it was a worthwhile experience. “I’m an English major and decided to take an Appalachian course for an elective. Before coming to school at Radford, I’d never visited the Appalachian region. It was definitely a new experience to learn about the Appalachian culture, so I continued taking courses under the program, basically for my own benefit.” The program also sponsors cultural events related to Appalachian studies such as concerts, theatrical performances, arts and craft displays, and lectures. Mrs. Edwards, associate professor of English, feels additional campus involvement is needed to expand the existing Appalachian Studies program. “Our hope is to get other departments involved in order to offer more comprehen-sive coverage of the Appalachian area, especially interests in art and music.” The Appalachian Regional Commission, a federal government agency, recoCTiizes Virginia and 12 other states within the bounderies of the Appalachian Mountain region. Radford University is the first state institution of higher learning to implement an Appalachian Studies program into its academic curriculum. 80 Acudcmics Those who went to the Trapezoid concert, sponsored by the Appalachian Studies Committee. listened to folk music as well as to bluesrass.

But even if your trips to McConnell Library were few and far between exams this year, you couldn’t help but notice the changes. Perhaps the most revolutionary change occurred two years ago when Radford gained access to SOLINET, a data network for cataloging and for issuing inter-library loans. To use this data terminal, however, it was necessary to switch from the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress method of classifying books. Incoming books, in addition to the entire reference section, were classified under the Library of Congress system. The result was a continual process of pulling together Radford’s “split collection” of books and journals. The new card catalog was listed on microfiche cards. Another change made this year was the reloca- tion of the reference section to the first floor, creating a large study area in the basement. This convenience not only benefited students, but also required one staff member to work where two were previously needed. Mr. Larry Pollard, assistant director for human services, felt strongly about providing the best possible service to students with his staff of 23. An additional 80 student workers also contributed to the smooth running of the library. The library also underwent a “facelift.” Building funds were spent on carpeting and new furniture for the lobby as well as an array of plants that have been placed throughout the library. With these attractive additions, a more pleasant atmosphere studying was created. Was this the extent of change in the library? Not according to Pollard, who cited several possibilities for the future. One objective is to install an automated circulation system. The present system is so slow that the circulation period had to be extended to enable the staff to monitor the books. There may also be a library instruction course offered for credit in addition to using computer-graded workbooks to test students’ knowledge of library usage. With the eventual addition of a computerized literature search, both faculty and students will be able to do research more effectively. The largest obstacle facing future change in the library is the economy. When a steady budget doesn’t meet the rising rate of inflation, it’s difficult to make available funds stretch to institute change. “Next to oil, the most heavily inflated item is a book or magazine,” said Pollard. One area in which there was no change, however, was in the library staffs philosophy and objectives. They still remain dedicated to meeting the academic community’s needs. If you haven’t been to the library lately, you may get confuted. All periodicals as well at their respective indexes have been moved from the basement to the first floor for easier access. Susan Brown uses one of three photocopying machines now located on the first floor of McConnell Library. 82 Academics Vad.� Wirt Wade Wirt Library assistant Mike Yerrick helps Ren Fraser use the new electronic newspaper index machine. This machine, in addition to the one used for business magazines, allows students to find what they're looking for much quicker. In addition to finding back issues of magazines on the first floor, students can pick up the current edition located on the magazine stands in the lobby of McConnell Library. Wade Wirt Empty shelves in the basement await to be stocked with new books or old ones. When the dorms get too noisy, students can grab a cushiony chair or bean bag, prop their feet up, sit back and study on the library’s second floor. Library Changes 83 Feeling an Change — sometimes it’s refreshing as the brisk mountain air while other times it's as cold and unbearable as the winter wind. Yet, for the Hustlin' Highlanders, change was exciting, energetic, vibrant. With the opening of the new Donald N. Ded-mon Center, an ultramodern recreation-convocation center, basketball took on new meaning. Finally, there was room to breathe. Beneath the inflated fabric roof, the basketball teams had room to run, jump, and stretch every limb in their bodies to make that winning off-the-backboard, round-the-rim shot. Adapting to this feeling of freedom and spaciousness wasn’t easy for the Hustlin’ Highlanders. But as the season progressed and they became accustomed to the new concrete court and the design of the building, they showed even their toughest opponents that they could hang with the best of’em. The basketball teams weren’t the only ones adapting to the winds of change. Established this year as new intercollegiate sports, the women’s field hockey and soccer teams tackled the problems associated with being the new kid on the field as they competed against such top-notch teams as Virginia Tech and James Madison in field hockey and UNC in soccer. For intramural sports, change was refreshing as the mountain air as the Dedmon Center freed the courts in Peters Hall, thus allowing the basketball leagues to play their games earlier in the evening. As for the rest of the students, hiking to the Dedmon Center for a quick game of rac-quetball or a relaxing soak in the sauna took some getting used to, especially during the winter winds, but they were willing to welcome the change because they had an air of confidence — confident the change was right. Opened winter quarter 1981-82 the Donald N. Dedmon Center is a unique building, indeed, with a fabric roof supported entirely by air. As the new home of the Hustlin' Highlanders, the recreation-convocation center will greatly change intercollegiate as well as intramural sports, helping to bring in tougher teams and to expand the number and kinds of intramural teams. air of confidence 84 Sports Divider SPORTS Sports Divider Kf Courtesy of Massie Photo -rapl Courting a season of victories Despite early losses in the 1981 spring season, the women’s tennis team ended the year with a commendable 10-7 record and a third place at the state tournament. As a freshman, top-seeded Chris Nelson of Salem, compiled a singles record of 17 wins and six losses. Nelson also won the Division II State Championship in singles, making her a real threat to this year’s competition. Now a sophomore. Nelson returned to aid the lady Highlanders’ attempt for their third straight winning season along with Anne Wuer-deman (15-4), Linda Obradovic (14-5), and Robin Douglas (15-6). The newest ace on the Radford team is Janine Clark of Alexandria who, as a freshman this past fall, captured the number three spot. Coach Tom Hondras said that with their impressive showing last spring and their 8-1 fall season record, the Highlanders can readily participate against stronger teams.” Hondras’ goal is to increase the difficulty of each year’s schedule hoping that team improvement will come with stiff competition. He said, There are other considerations besides winning. Improvement is important.” Last spring the team was strong in singles, but weaker in doubles. Hondras had his team concentrate on doubles and is positive about the increased effort. “Now,” he said, “we are strong in both areas.” Hondras concluded that this year as compared to last is, “better balanced, it has more talent teamwise.” He said that as a result, he looked forward to future successful seasons. 1981 Women's Spring Tennis: Front row: Betty Wooten, Karen Watson, Linda Obradovic, Karen Ruth, Anne Wuer-deman, Chris Nelson.

Downs used the “fall season as strictly a scrimmage time . . . just to keep the men interested throughout summer and fall.” Commenting on the 1981 fall season, he said. “The team looked exceptionally good.” Last year’s players Todd Butterworth, Frank Holmes. Bob Nealy, and the most valuable player of 1981, Billy Gallagher, all returned. In addition to last year’s standouts, the team also included John Bernard, who sat out last year; freshman Mike Ferrone, from New Jersey; and Tim Lobello, a transfer from Emory and Henry. Downs said of this year’s team, “We’re going to have a lot of experience on the courts and we’re going to have better depth.” With that, the Highlanders hope to keep the tradition of winning seasons unblemished as they have since 1974, when Radford formed its first men’s tennis team.

Men's Tennis 89 Searching for greener pastures Farmers hoped for the green thumb that would bring them the record harvest. Dragstrip drivers waited for the green light and those who drove stock cars anticipated the green flag. The Radford University men’s golf team wanted the green of the putting surface and a chance to prove they weren’t “green”. On the surface, Coach Danny Roberts’ golf team did appear “green” in experience with a freshman holding the number one spot. The team looked a little green, too, as it started its season with a loss to Lynchburg and a tie with Bridgewater. As the season progressed, the greens” began to get greener. The Highlanders defeated six of their next eight opponents in dual matches. “The team got more hungry as the year went on — they wanted to do well,” said Coach Roberts. The six dual match wins didn’t mean much to Coach Roberts, though. “We prepared for championships, not meets,” he said. Tough tournament competition hardened the Highlanders, as they faced such grueling golf powers as William and Mary and Virginia Tech. “We played the best competition in the east,” said Roberts, “but to build you must play the best.” In the end, playing the best paid off for the Highlanders, helping them clinch the number two spot in the District 19 Championship, as well as qualifying them for the state tournament. Among the individual golfers, freshman Jimmy Sink proved his mastery of the greens, finishing the season with a 74 stroke average over his teammates and placing him third in the district meet. With Sink, the driving leadership and talents of junior Mark Gallimore and sophomore Bob Burnette, the Highlanders displayed the individuality needed to stay ahead of the competition. The “green team” had its best year during its short, three year existence. In the future, Coach Roberts hopes his “green team” will be nicknamed for its talent for hitting the green. Jim Sink, who placed third in the district, earns a well-deserved break. 90 Sports nformation and Publication?

Golf 91 So close, yet so far away Being a success in college meant bringing home the G.P.A. that made the Dean’s List as well as the “parents’ list”. Being successful in business meant seeing part of your paycheck after all the bills and loans were paid. Being a success in sports usually meant ending the season with a winning record. But for the Radford University men’s lacrosse team, success meant something else — progress. At the beginning of the year, Radford needed their progress in experience. The team started the year with a squad dominated by sophomores. The lack of experience was frustrating at times for Coach Doug Woolley, but seeing the team’s improvement was “very satisfying,” he said. Radford's season began progressing against one of the big names in lacrosse — Notre Dame. After losing to the Fighting Irish, the team continued to compete against tough, more experienced clubs. Although playing a tough schedule was grueling at times for the brave Highlanders, it brought experience to the young team. “It allowed the team to realize how good they could get and how to play as a team,” said Coach Woolley. For the caliber of teams they faced, the Highlanders’ final five win and eight loss record was a respectable one. However, in reality this record came close to becoming a record of seven wins and six losses. A heartbreaking one point loss to Virginia Tech, followed by a one point loss to Lynchburg cost the Highlanders a winning season. The biggest wins, acccording to Woolley, were the 12-8 win over VMI and the 10-5 victory against Randolph-Macon. Some individuals made outstanding progress during the season. Junior Reid Perry led the team in assists and was voted most valuable player” by his team mates. Chris Gabriel had a team-leading total of 26 goals and, along with goalie Chris Langer, made the All Tri-State League Team. John Chelena earned the Most Improved Player award. Though the men’s lacrosse team continued to progress this year, they still faced one big problem — tougher competition. “We’re improving, but our schedule is upgraded each year,” said Coach Woolley. “Our progress isn’t shown by our record, but how close the scores are getting each year.” If this year’s scores are any indication, the team’s progress looks bright. Despite the tough schedule of high-caliber teams, the Highlanders were able to muster a respectable five win and eight loss record.

Lacrosse 93 The new kids on the field The fall of 1981 brought expansion of the women’s athletic program by adding women’s field hockey and women’s soccer. The two teams evolved from cl«b status by adding head coaches Roxanne Rush, for field hockey, and Tom Lillard, for soccer. As a club sport in 1980, the field hockey team had seven matches. Most of them were against upper division teams that had already been established. The lady Highlanders won only one of those contests, but winning isn’t what coach Rush had in mind. Her main priority was to get her team together and organize it to its present status as a varsity sport. The one victory, however, was extra incentive for the girls as they heat Sweet Briar by a margin of 4 1. Sweet Briar has been a perennial Division III powerhouse, so the win gave the girls some high hopes for their future. “For a first year team, I think we did terrifically, especially since we got organized on pretty short notice,” Rush said. The other newcomer on the Radford University campus was women’s soccer. The women’s soccer team is coached by Tom Lillard, who is also in charge of the men’s soccer team. As a club sport in 1980, the team made a good showing. In five matches, they beat Virginia and Sweet Briar, and lost by narrow margins to James Madison an'd to Virginia Tech twice. “I tried to play the best teams we could schedule so we could get the experience, and we did really well,” Lillard said. “Some girls on the team had never played the game and 1 was really pleased llclow: Laurie Morris shows her skill for the women’s field hockey team. with the way they came around.” Most of the girls from the 1980 team returned in the fall to compete on the varsity team. There was also a lot of interest in new freshman students, not only at Radford, but all around the region. In fall of’81 the lady Highlanders had a tough role to stand up to as a “rookie” team. They faced such teams as University of North Carolina, U.VA, and Randolph Macon. Lillard said the tough schedule lined up for the girls was primarily to help the young team develop. Coach Lillard has great expectations for the teams in the future. One of tne things he would like to do is to get girls’ teams more publicized on the Radford campus. He feels setting up double-headers with the men’s team will help in getting exposure. When asked how he felt about coaching a new team and having to go against teams that have already been established, Coach Lillard said, “Being the underdog makes you work harder. You can get more out of your players.” With the birth of these two new varsity sports, the problem is where to house them. The 12 game schedule for the women’s field hockey team was played almost entirely on other schools’ fields. Only two games were played at Radford. The women’s socccer team schedule wasn’t any better. They also had only two home games, but they only played a total of seven games. With construction of the Dedmon Center, hopefully the problem of space will be solved.

They could feel the title as much as they could feel the rubbery whiteness of the ball itself as it touches the fingertips, oh so lightly, then slips away... Last year, the women’s volleyball team just missed grabbing the regional title, but that didn’t stop Coach Janell Dobbins and her 12 Lady Highlanders from trying again. But to get to the regionals. they had to tackle the state Division II championship, which they easily did in one fell swoop. Yet, retaining the state title for the second year in a row wasn’t quite as easy as it seemed. Everyone was out to get Radford. We had to be ready to play everytime we went out on the court,’’ said Coach Dobbins. And ready they were. With nine lettermen and six of eight starters returning from last year, according to Dobbins, the team had the experience as well as the dedication to work hard and to improve their skill levels in all areas. Before the 1981 season began, the coach had this to say about her girls: “We could be just as strong as last year, if not stronger. It’s iust a matter of how quickly we refine our skills and play to our potential, and how quickly we can come together as a team.’’ It didn’t take long for the team to come together as they swept victories against Maryville (the 1980 Region II champs), Marshall (a Division I school). Liberty Baptist, Virginia Commonwealth, and Concord. With such outstanding players as Nancy Conner (named to the All-State team), Andi Lawler (1980 most valuable player and member of the All-Regional team), Becky Karickhoff (best defensive player in 1980) and Debbie Smith (member of tne All-State and All-Regional teams), the Lady Highlanders were able to spike, set and hit their way to the National Volleyball Tournament as one of 16 teams nationwide that was eligible to compete in it. Despite the loss of a setter and a hitter from the starting rotation, the spikers still had the power to pull off a winning season, breaking a previous record of 28 wins and eight losses. With the smooth setting efforts of Rebecca Eastwood (winner of the 1980 Best Setter Award) and the driven determination of Karen Goad (1980 most improved player), the team collected victory after victory to end the season with an incredible record of 30 wins and six losses. Once again, the Lady Highlanders had made it to the Region II, Division II Tournament in which they competed against teams from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia as well as North and South Carolina. And, once again, the regional title was so close, yet so far away as they had to settle for second place. But with returning talent, new recruits and the Dedmon Center facilities, next season, the regional crown may only be a hairsbreadth away.

The finish qualified the lady Highlanders for the AI AW Division II Championship played at Hollins College during the weekend of November 6-7. Radford lost it’s first game to Richmond, which later won the tournament and qualified the team for the national championship. In the second game Radford was defeated by High Point College, 1-0 in a defensive struggle that ended the game with the close score. The Highlanders will be losing Coach Rush and seven of the starting team because of graduation or for other reasons.

Both the men and the women qualified two runners for national competition while each team ran its toughest schedule ever. The tougher schedule and all the extra miles put forth during the regular season paid off in post season competition. The men, who were looking to win their second straight District 19 title, finished second to Liberty Baptist, but sophomore Steve St. Clair and junior Howard Nicely both qualified for National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (A I AW ) Region II Division III Championship as they finished second to Mary Washington College. Sophomore Melissa Ledbetter and senior Susan Chappelle both finished among the top ten runners which qualified them for national competition. Running against some of the toughest teams in the area, proved to be a successful challenge for the harriers. With the loss of some top runners from last year’s teams, this season could have been a rebuilding year, but a crop of newcomers held their own. The men initiated a 1-2-1 attack as they were led by senior Jeff Herriman, juniors Howard Nicely and Robert “Bum” Baker, and sophomore Steve St. Clair. Two new faces added depth to the squad. These were freshmen Mark “wildman” Jarema and Steve Goodwin. Injuries hampered the women all season but their spirits never let them down. There was only one race during the season that the team ran at full strength. The women’s 1-2 punch also came from the veterans. Melissa Ledbetter, Susan Chappelle and senior Renada Scaggs paced the Lady Highlanders and, they had a terrific supporting cast. The freshman tandem of Margaret Eanes and Elizabeth Adams proved to be a dominant force on the squad while two newcomers, senior Tonia Boggs and junior Erin Haye added depth. Next season, the harriers will face yet another challenge as the men move to NCAA Division II status and the women jump from AI AW Division III to Division II. Coach Will saw the season as quite successful despite some adversity. “This year we improved our times as individuals,” said Will. “It was a good season in that respect.” We sacrificed our won-loss record so our times would improve and I think they did.” 19K1 CROSS COUNTRY TRAMS: (Front Row) Susan Chappelle.

The women’s soccer club was made a varsity sport. The women “hooters” had a remarkable season, Finishing the year with five wins, four losses and one tie. But the icing on the cake was winning third place in the VAIAW State Tournament. “It was a pleasant surprise,” said Coach Tom Lillard. “They really played together as a team.” Lillard credited the year's success to a strong offense. Led by forwards Maureen Gallagher and Kim Walsh, the team often outplayed their opponents. But there’s always room for improvement. “I’d like to see the team be more consistent on defense — to ‘jell’ as a unit,” said Lillard. According to Lillard, a major turning point in the season was the last game before the state tournament against Virginia Tech. “We won 4-3 in overtime. Tech was a strong team to play against and winning in overtime meant more than playing in regular time,” he said. It was an exciting year for the entire team, but for some members, it was the year their dreams came true. Maureen “Mo” Gallagher, Helen “Booter” Negrey and DeDe Tannahill were named to the all-tournament team. Gallagher and Negrey were also named to the women’s All-State soccer team. Lillard was pleased with the team’s success this year, but feels they’ll be even stronger next season. Strong recruiting and the return of all but one player will help Lillard’s strategy for next season. He said: “We’re shooting for the state title next year.” 1981 WOMEN S SOCCER TEAM: (Front Row) Elvira Biehl, Frances Downey, Helen Negrey, Kim Walsh, Lori Cathey, Debbie Ness. Renee Dudgeon.

Just a simple quote from an ecstatic soccer player after winning a game. But it wasn’t just any game — it was the state championship. “The state championship was one of our big goals at the beginning of the year, said Tom Lillard, men’s soccer coach. “If we were going to do it, this had to be the year. And 1981 was the year. This was the year the men’s soccer team was thought to be the most experienced and strongest. With 15 returning lettermen, including senior tri-captains, John White, Edwin Duran, and Tim Mann, there were high hopes for success. “The men practice for two hours every day in all kinds of weather. If it’s really bad outside, then we practice maneuvers inside, said Lillard. And all that practice finally paid off. One highlight of the season was Radford’s win over Roanoke (4-0). “Beating them made us feel confident and we knew we were playing together as a team, Lillard noted. Another win against Lynchburg gave “a big boost of confidence. According to Lillard, the game was “an easier game for us, but we played well and it showed. But Coach Lillard is already thinking about next year and has his strategies ready. “We need to work more on our tournament play and be more consistent, he advised. Because Radford won the state championship, they hosted the All-Star Contest. Radford dominated the West All-Stars with five players: Tim Mann, Randy Jones, Ron Carter, Edwin Duran, and John White. Together they helped lead the West All-Stars to a 3-1 victory over the East division. The team was coached by Lillard, who received the VISA Coach of the Year Award. Afterward, Lillard said, “It’s a big thrill. But the team did the work to get us to the championship, all I did was guide them. When the All Star squad was announced, Radford again dominated with four players: John White, Randy Jones, Edwin Duran, and Ron Carter. Duran and Carter were also named to the second team All-South squad selected by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Highlanders finished the season with eight wins, seven losses, two ties and the state championship. Said Lillard, “What a way to end the year.

There’s a new kid in town, determined to charm the young as well as the young-at-heart, woo opponents with its crazy antics and pester officials with its devilish pranks. It’s the ever-lovable, forever huggable Row dy Red. Ever since this bright-eyed, bright red mup-pet with a Highlander plaid cap arrived, suitcase in hand, it’s acquired a large following of small and big fans alike. After each home basketball game, it’s Rowdy time as the young ones swarm around this new creation, begging for an autograph, a hug or even a taste of its secret weapon. And what does Rowdy do? Why it savors every last morsel of this star-studded attention. “I won’t let it get to my head, but there’s no question about it — I love it!” said Rowdy. “It’s like being Ronald McDonald.” Unlike Ronald, Rowdy has somewhat of a mean streak within. “There’ve been times whan I’ve gotten hit and I’ve hit back or thrown a coke on the kids. There are just some kids who want to hurt me so I put them in their place.” Sometimes putting these kids in their places isn’t quite so easy. With lanky feet like a Rig Root, Rowdy can’t match the swift agility of a 13 or 14-year-old. “Inside, I may be quick. But on the outside. I’m no speedster.” For the most part, though, kids young and old love Rowdy, a deep affection which Rowdy returns. “I love kids. They make me feel like a big-name baseball player. That’s a weird feeling sometimes. But after a game, when I’m signing autographs like the stars do, I love it.” Above all, Rowdy loves to flirt. From its coyish pranks to its cuddly bear hugs, Rowdy tries to woo the females with its irrestible charms. Occasionally, it succeeds. “For a girl named Leslie, it was love at first sight. She gave me a hug and said she wanted to marry me. She even gave me her phone number.” said Rowdy. When Rowdy wasn’t vying for female attention, it was doing what it does best — foolin’ around. When he wasn’t pulling down the socks of a cheerleader on the opposing side or pinching a Radford cheerleader’s butt, Rowdy was popping in and out of the stands, shooting the breeze with his friends, sipping Dedmon Center Cider to revive itself or answering questions 108 Sports Feature Here lo stay.

Once, when I went to Richmond with the team, a little girl asked me if I was the cookie monster. Older people usually ask, ‘What are you?’ ” It's Rowdy Red, of course. Radford University’s first true mascot. When I first came on the scene I was glad to know that I was going to be separate from the cheerleaders. That I was going to go out and cause trouble like the Chicken.” Causing trouble is one of Rowdy’s true talents. Just ask any official who's received a free eye examination via Rowdy’s eye chart or a sports fan who’s been drenched by its infamous secret weapon — the Rowdy Red water gun — or even the director of the pep band whose sheets of music tumbled to the ground like wind-blown leaves after Rowdy booted the stand. But the pranks among pranks occurred dur- ing a women’s game against William and Mary. After being smacked from the huddle, Rowdv was determined to get even with the big W M. So it grabbed the team’s small frog mascot and tossed it into the stands. During halftime Rowdy swiped the team's bag of basketballs so the girls couldn’t warm up for the second half. When I go to Williamsburg with the women February 13,1 just might be greeted with picket signs saying, ‘Ban Rowdv Red!’ ” Despite its devilish pranks and off-the-wall humor, Rowdv will never be banned from the Radford campus. The students love their mascot too much. Every Rowdy Red poster we put up has since disappeared,” said Dr. Charles Taylor, director of intercollegiate athletics. The students have accepted Rowdy 100 percent.” Now that Rowdy has found a home with a family” that loves it, what more could a mascot want? “A wardrobe,” said Rowdy. Later in the season I might wear a tank top and carry suntan lotion and a beach towel since everyone’ll be thinking about going to Florida. I might even wear a big plaid skirt. But most of all I really want to dress like a punker.” Rowdy said it thinks of these ideas for a wardrobe, new mischievious pranks or even a new image while lying in bed. But whatever it thinks up next, it’s bound to carry out the Rowdy philosophy: Be tough, be red, be rowdy!” Yes, Rowdy Red is here to stay. Rowdy Red 109 Fighting to Fighting to stay on top. “That's what competition is all about, said Martin Huckabee, gymnastics coach. “Being n top and staying there. To Coach Huckabee, being on top meant grabbing the AIANV Region II, Division II Title, then going for the gold — the AIAW Nationals. Since the beginning of the season these were the goals Huckabee and his Lady Highlanders had in mind. With careful planning and strategy, they were only a heartbeat away. “We’re on schedule to do what we set out to do. We haven’t changed a muscle,” said Huckabee. Despite several injuries throughout the season and vaulting practices in the chill of the Dedmon Center's main arena, the gymnasts managed to stay on top, beating such big-name schools as Clemson and Duke. Yet, the sweetest victories came when the Lady Highlanders vaulted over Longwood, the defending state champs, and walked over William and Mary, last year's regional champs. It meant we could do it,” said Huckabee. “We had the potential to win.” Whether his girls won or lost each meet didn’t matter quite so much, not to this coach anyway. To Huckabee, the overall score is more important since that determines who’s the best in the state, in the region, and, ultimately, in the country. “You can't just win with low scores, said Huckabee. stay on top To keep those hijrh scores that win meets in the battle to remain number one, hard work, dedication, and, above all, teamwork are essential. Huckabee’s girls had them all. They know what they had to contribute to the team, for the team, to win it,” he said. “We’ve got no superstars.” And yet, a couple of the team members slightly outscored the rest when it came to maintaining consistency in achieving high scores. As the team headed towards the regionals, sophomore Maureen Flynn, the leading all-rounder, helped smooth over the rough spots, especially on the beam. After recovering from a knee injury in October, freshman Kathy Ripley made an astounding come back, so much so that only a few hundredths of a point stood between her score and Flynn's, thus lending another supporting hand to the total team effort. With such talent and teamwork blending together to give the gymnastic team the highest score in the state, the Lady Highlanders proved, once and for all, to William and Mary, Virginia Tech, and especially, Longwood, that they were, indeed, tough contenders as they clinched the VAI AW State title. With one battle fought and won and one more to go, they were determined to keep their fightin’ Highlander spirit until they reached the pinnacle of success — the nationals. After all, Huckabee’s girls have what it takes to stay on top. Woody Veasey 1981-82 GYMNASTICS TKAM: (Kronl Row) Mary Tobias. Leslie Butler, Kathy Ripley, Britta White. Julie DcOrio, Cindy Shockley.

After stepping to Division II and adding scholarship players, the Highlanders took a step into a new facility — the Dedmon Center. With this step the team took another leap in its success story, finishing the season with a 19 win, seven loss record. The team began the year in the same Peters Hall, but with a new outlook and attitude. Radford had one of its best recruiting years in its history, with three of the recruits — Ivey Cook. David Smith and Harold Taylor gaining starting roles on the team. The varsity cagers also began the season with what Head Coach Joe Davis called a “good work attitude.” “They were willing to make sacrifices for the good of the team.” said Davis. The team started the season with its new vitality and won its first two games convincingly. The Highlanders warmed-up with a 115-61 win over the Barbados National Team at home and followed that with a 77-66 road victory over Pembroke State. The cagers then knocked off Quinnipac in the Eagle Rounder Tip-Off Tournament before losing to tournament host, Clarion State. The Highlanders then took their step into the Dedmond Center and walked away with their second win over Pembroke State, 56-53. They continued their winning ways with a first place finish in the Radford University Invitational, a victory which included a 61-56 win over nationally ranked West Georgia. Radford then reeled off three more wins before losing their first game in the Dedmon Center to a powerful Mount St. Mary’s team.

During the next seven names Radford faced three Division I teams and two Division II powerhouses. The Highlanders respectfully bowed to their powerful Division I opponents, losing 75-66 at Richmond. 67-57 at George Mason and 70-54 at Ohio University. The team, however, pulled off its biggest win of the season with an 84-81 victory over UDC, which was followed by a convincing65-46 win over arch-rival, Randolph-Macon. Radford then won six out of its eight remaining games. UDC avenged its earlier loss with a win at its Washington, D.C. home, and Ran-dolph-Macon gave the Highlanders their most bitter loss yet, a 62-60 defeat at the hands of the Yellow Jackets. The strong effort by the Highlanders was due largely to three factors. Ivey Cook, the first-year transfer, was the first. Cook led the team In scoring and set a new Highlander record in the free throw category. The second factor was the scoring and rebounding of senior Jim Ze-monek and freshman David Smith. The duo combined for almost 12 rebounds and 28 points per game. Coach Joe Davis pointed out the third factor, junior Roy Flynn. “Roy was the glue of the team with his leadership by example and his hustle,” commented Davis. It would be wrong to say that Radford’s steps have been a leap for mankind, but they certainly have been so for the university. Where do I go from here?

This is the sporting life Under the air-supported, fabric roof, across which a four-wheel drive Jeep could drive, the Dedmon Center holds numerous athletic facilities. Some of its features weren’t available to Radford University students before and the use of others was limited by space. But inside the main arena itself are a four-lane track, one regulation-size basketball court and four smaller courts. The same space can easlily be converted into either five volleyball courts or four tennis courts. A walkway running around the top of the arena also serves as a 1 8 mile track. Seating for 5,000 persons is available with fold-down chairs on one side, standard bleachers on the other and portable roll-out bleachers at each end. Adjoining the main arena is the less spectacular but equally useful second half of the Dedmon Center. Upon entering the top floor of this section one finds office spaces, meeting and conference rooms and a student lobby, where television will focus on activity in the arena. A new “Highlander Room” is even open during events to members who contribute to the center. Special viewing windows along the corridors allow spectators to enjoy gymnastics and handball games in progress on one of five courts on the lower level. Also below the main floor are wrestling rooms and a weight room. In the basement of the Dedmon Center are team rooms, locker and shower rooms, a training room and two saunas. Besides the indoor facilities, intramural and varsity fields were built outside to accomodate the lacrosse and field hockey teams as well as the intramural football and softball teams. New outdoor tennis courts were also welcomed additions. The inside of the Dedmon Center, as well as the unique structure itself, makes it a multipurpose facility, one that will expand in use as Radford University continues to grow in the years to come. 1001 ... 1002 .

Nevertheless, this young squad, consisting of only freshmen and sophomores, ended the season with 20 victories and runner-up in the VAIAVV Division II tournament. The Lady Highlanders opened the season with a big victory over Eastern Kentucky University, a tough Division I opponent. But Radford went on to drop six of its next nine games and it may have seemed like the Lady Highlanders were having their troubles. However, Coach Pat Barrett wasn’t particularly worried. For years now Barrett has lived by the theory that the early portion of a schedule should be filled with tough opponents so a team can get battle-hardened quickly. Barrett’s “overload principle” soon paid off as the Lady Highlanders got red-hot and, by February, had won nine of ten games to boost their season record to 12-7. Going into the state tourney, Radford had an 18-10 record and was ranked third in the state with a 9-5 conference record. After victories over William Mary and Hampton Institute, the Lady Highlanders advanced to the state championship against the University of Richmond. Led by Timmie Reynolds with 24 points, Radford was up 32-30 at the half and by as many as six in the second period before Richmond came back in the closing minutes to win 71-05. Hookin' it.

Reynolds and Willey also finished as the team’s scoring: leaders, each averaging: 13.6 points per game. The Lady Highlanders were often hampered by the squad’s lack of depth due to the mid-season loss of former all-state guard Karen Bailey who was averaging over 12 points a game. But sophomore captain Beth Cleavenger provided the team with excellent leadership while averaging 12 points per game. The inside play was controlled by Nan Mulner, a G'2 sophomore center, who pulled down an average of 11.1 rebounds a game while scoring nine points an outing. Freshmen Pebbles Maynard and Sara Riley shared the point guard spot and, after picking up some valuable game experience, both players contributed greatly to the success of this young but talented squad. “I hope the tournament showed them what they're capable of doing,” Coach Barrett said. “By Christmas time we may not have looked like we would have set the world on fire, but we came out real well. They did a fine job.” Looking ahead, it seems as though this team can go nowhere but up. With several fine recruits to add depth to an already experienced and battle-hardened team, the Lady Highlanders arc a team of the future. Women’s Varsity Basketball 121 Coming back Going into its third season of existence, the junior varsity basketball team had undergone still more changes since 1979-80. Once part of the varsity squad, the jayvees set out on their own last year under the direction of coaches Dan Roberts and Dan Grubbs. This season, the jayvees had only three returnees from last year’s team in guards Ronnie Avery and Tommy Little and center Hob Brooke. Grubbs took over the helm as head coach while Roberts resumed full responsibility of the varsity assistant coach position. The Highlanders posted a deceiving four win. on our own ten loss record for the year with many of those losses coming in the final minutes of play. The jayvees were paced by Avery and Brooke who averaged 15 and 18 points respectively. The jayvees also received strong play from freshman Deron “Boomer” Marigna who responded for 11 points per game. The remaining seven players all made their playing debuts for the Highlanders. Also wearing the Highlander red-and-white were Tommy Radda, Jeff Maher, Billy Collins, Rodney Darling, Billy Johnston.

According to Paula Downs, sponsor of the Radford University cheerleaders, cheerleading is more than just'smiling, shouting, and performing various gyrations before the crowds at basketball games. It involves commitment and sacrifice, from the first day of tryouts to the last day of practice for the season. Starting with tryouts in September, the women had to begin sacrificing right away in order to meet the first cut requirement of 120 pounds or less. That meant giving up double fudge brownies and that extra slice of thick, gooey pizza. For those who made the first cuts, after the sacrifice came the commitment — the commitment to perfect their gvmnastic skills, dance routines and cheers needed to make the squad. For the men, however, cheerleading meant more of a commitment than a sacrifice. It meant committing themselves to a “sport” that their peers considered to be feminine and a cop-out. Come tryout time, it meant spending hours upon hours lifting weights to meet the 130-pound press requirement as well as practicing basic gymnastic skills. Once the squad was chosen, the time had come to settle into a regular practice schedule. And so, every weekday, the five men and 10 women on the squad jumped, cheered, danced and somersaulted for one and a half to two hours. To these cheerleaders, then, adding some spice and pep to men’s and women’s basketball isn’t a simple task. It’s hard work. Kelly Tucker, a senior majoring in early childhood education, said she spent one to one and a half hours daily just preparing for prac- tice due to her duties as a co-captain. And, then there are the sacrifices that don’t stop after the last judge has cast his vote during tryouts. “The athletic department emphasizes that you should put cheerleading above everything else except academics,” said Tucker. That meant leaving little or no time for other activities including studying. And it often meant giving up such luxuries as dances, parties and weekend visits to home. “You couldn’t go home on weekends or go to a lot of parties. But you’re supposed to think about all those things before you tried out,” said Alisa Prillarnan, senior physical education major. Along with the hard work and sacrifice came another negative element cheerleaders must often deal with: stereotyping. According to Pril-laman and Tucker the public often doesn’t understand the dedication and skill involved in cheerleading. Because of what it takes to be a cheerleader, the women consider cheerleading to be as much of a sport as the game of basketball for which they cheer. Like any other athletic team on campus, they receive their uniforms, trip expenses for away games and insurance from the athletic department. And, like any other athlete, they, too, must abide by department regulations such as keeping their grades above academic probation. Yet, despite the hard work, the long hours, the sacrifices and the commitment, the Radford University cheerleaders wouldn’t want to do anything else. Said Prillarnan, “I love it. I do it because it’s something I want to do.” Cheerleaders 125 126 Sports Feature Radford’s Ready At Radford, sports are a way of life. Ever since the girls started bouncing the first basketballs way back in 1971, the sports program has grown and blossomed. Currently, 13 teams compete in the red-and-white uniforms of the Highlanders. This past year’s achievements included state championships in men’s soccer, volleyball and gymnastics. The men’s tennis team walked away with the NAIA District 19 championship last spring and the women’s team boasts the state singles champion in the person of sophomore Chris Nelson. The men’s cross country team finished second in the District and the women’s soccer team finished third in the state tournament and the field hockey team, also in their first year, finished fourth. The golf team finished their best season ever with a second place finish in the District. The lacrosse program, in only its third year, tied for second in the Tri-State League. The men’s basketball team achieved statewide recognition for the outstanding 19-9 record it achieved against one of the toughest schedules anywhere in the country. Despite the stiff competition, the men finished second in the NAIA District 19. Not to be outdone, the women’s team, the oldest on campus, posted their first 20 win season, finishing 20-11 and ending up second in the state.

Intramural Football 131 Grabbing for some gusto With a quick flick of the wrist, fingers poised as the ball rounds the rim, then makes a swift, silent plunge through the net, they operated with the cool precision of any surgeon, scoring points when it counted most. They were the Doctors. The hottest intramural basketball team around. With Kevin Cox. Ted Riche and David Lutz — winners of six basketball titles in three years the Doctors put their swift, skillful moves into operation, scalping opponent after opponent until they grabbed the gusto — the Men’s Open League title, allowing them to replace their “surgical greens” with the coveted intramural t-shirt. Yet, the Doctors still weren’t satisfied. They had to go for the gold. And. of course, they did it. sweeping the Invitational title as well. The Doctors weren’t the only men’s team operating its winning ways on the basketball court. With the help of Scott Long, intramural basketball player of the year and holder of the sportsmanship title. Floyd Boyz dunked, dribbled and shot its way to the Men’s Dorm League title. They, too, won the privilege of wearing the famous intramural t-shirt. While the men were battling opponent after opponent for a chance to wear the t-shirt, the women were grabbing for some gusto of their own. The Drew Crew popped the top on the Women’s Dorm League, canning that title (and winning a t-shirt, of course) as the Unknowns knowingly and willingly defeated the B.W.s for the Women’s Open League title. With their impressive defense, Katie O’Neill, Brenda Orange and Karen Goad added some spice to this nail-biting championship game. Alpha Chi Rho, with its dedication and teamwork, swept the intramural title for clubs and organizations in another close, yet action-packed championship game. Even more exciting, perhaps, than these championship games, where the tension mounted with every point, was the location of these and other games — the Dedmon Center. Beneath the vastness of the air-supported roof, the truly devoted basketball fan could double his dose of the sport as he watched two different games at the same time; hardly a new idea to both fans and players who were use to this sort of thing in Peters Hall. Yet, the spaciousness and innovative layout of the Dedmon Center allowed for a little less confusion and a lot more “breathing” room. The Dedmon Center also added “flexibility, timewise,” said Mr. Gary Upp, director of intramurals. With the intercollegiate teams using the center for their regular season games, the intramural teams could start playing as early as 5 p.m. in Peters Hall, said Upp. Besides the Dedmon Center, another addition to the winter intramural program was the Co-Ed Basketball Tournament, a weekend event in which men and women on eight teams fought side-by-side to taste the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. For the 81 men’s and women’s intramural basketball teams, the season met their greatest expectations. It was challenging, yet grueling. Competitive, yet sportsmanlike. Above all, it was definitely for tnose who wanted to get off the bench and make things happen. Grabbing for some gusto. Peters Hall was the place to be as 81 intramural basketball teams vyed for the coveted t-shirt in the men's and women’s dorm and open leagues as well as the league for clubs and organisations. • - .

It’s what students do when they’re trying to meet research paper deadlines, cram for exams or get dressed for class after they’ve overslept. It’s what intramural football players do when they’re trying to chase down the pigskin. But most of all, it’s what fraternities and sororities do when they’re trying to recruit more members into their circles of brotherhood and sisterhood. For the Greeks 1981-82 was an ideal rush year. With a growing interest in the Greek system this year, frats and sororities rushed like the wind. According to Gary Gaston, associate dean of students, sororities increased their bids by approximately 97 percent over last year’s figure. But the biggest change in the Greek system, and perhaps one of the reasons for renewed interest in grabbing a part of the Greek life, was the beginning of Greek housing, sending the six frats and six sororities into a rushing all their own — the rush for a house they could call their own. Yet, despite the rush against time and patience to acquire the symbol of Greek life, the fraternities and sororities were beginning to work together to promote the Greek spirit of brother and sisterhood. Alas, as Greeks they were one. Situated atop a hill at 815 Tyler Avenue, the Pi Kapp house is one of the first Greek houses owned by the university. The house only has room for about eight or nine brothers with residency being determined by a point system. Those who received the most points through service to the fraternity as well as the community got to live in the house. A sorority house is being planned for spring. 134 Greeks Divider GREEKS Greeks Divider 135 Bruce Denton The Greek Life When a young adult graduates from high school and decides to further his education at college, he often finds himself leaving his home and family. Normally, students adjust to their new environment without any difficulties, but it’s hard to leave “home sweet home” and “mom and dad” after 18 years. One solution to the shock kids receive upon entering college and discovering a strange new’ atmosphere is Greek life. Sororities and fraternities offer an individual the opportunity to belong to a whole “new” family. Although it’s often impossible to become close friends with everyone an individual meets throughout the college years, sorority women and frat men get to know their sisters and brothers through a sharing experience. Through the Greek organizations, everyone works together. Whether it be The symbol of Greek Life, the frat house, became a new addition to the Pi Kapp “family.” Tri-Six promotes sisterhood and Highlander spirit as these sisters cheer on the Hustlin’ Highlanders at the Dedmon Center. Community and campus service arc part of the Greek Life as well. As part of their community service, sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau sponsored a Christmas party for local children. 136 Greeks a fund-raising drive or a weekend keg party, friendships that result from these campus activities set the stage” for long-lasting bonds between one’s fellow brothers and sisters. In addition to cultivating lifelong friendships, Greeks participate in intramural sports, sponsor fund-raisers for local civic groups and attend A LOT of great parties. On the Radford University campus there are a variety of sororities and fraternities in which to choose, each with its own individuality. But no matter what a student’s taste happens to be, chances are there’s a Greek club that will satisfy his needs. Even though Greeks often socialize a lot with their sisters and brothers, Radford’s Greek system attempts to include the entire student body in its activities and encourages its members to participate in non-Greek clubs and events. So if you want a worthwhile experience where you’ll meet a lot of great people, add a little something extra to your lifestyle and consider going GREEK!

Since it was first established in 1977, Pi Kapp has received several distinguished honors including the Champion Master Chapter Award and the coveted President’s Cup for three consecutive years. This cup symbolizes accomplishment in the areas of sports, scholastics and humanitarianism. The Little Sisters of Pi Kapp have become an effective supportive group within the fraternity since it began almost three years ago. Throughout the year they work side-by-side with the brothers, raising money for organizations as well as for various charities.

Pi Kappa Phi 141 SOE Sigma Phi Epsilon Though they’re a fairly recent addition to the Radford fraternity system, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon are just as socially active in campus and community activities as the somewhat older fraternities. This year the brothers of SPE worked with the Salvation Army to help that organization collect money during the Christmas season. They also volunteered their time to help with the Muscular Dystrophy Association Supcrdance. To raise money for the fraternity, the pledges sponsored a slave sale while the fraternity as a whole co-sponsored the winter formal along with the junior class. Although they haven’t been a Radford chapter for very long, Sigma Phi Epsilon has already earned a couple of honors. This fraternity is winner of the Grand Chapter Cup. It also holds the honor of having the best grades among the fraternities on campus. The Little Sisters of SPE, called Golden Hearts, are a recent addition to the fraternity. The group helps its brothers in both public service and fundraising activities. Mark Antley SIGMA PHI EPSILON: (Front Row) Eric Winter. Dan Hempey, Brett Campbell. Greg McCarthy. Joe Sweat.

It is comprised of all fraternity presidents as well as two members elected from each fraternity. The purpose of IFC is to promote harmonious relations among the social fraternities at Radford as well as to standardize, control, and regulate the rushing and pledging activities of these groups. The IFC also promotes interfraternity competition through the President’s Cup program and by sponsoring numerous social activities such as the MDA Superdance and Greek Week. The main goal of this council is to unite the fraternities on Radford’s campus. Panhellenic, derived from the Greek root “Pan” meaning all and “Hellenic” meaning Greek, is an or- ganization in which all Greek letter social sororities are represented. The six sororities which make up Radford’s Panhellenic Council are Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Representatives from these sororities meet to decide rush rules, coordinate campus activities and set guidelines for initiation, pledging and activities of individual sororities on campus. This year Panhellenic members attended the Southeastern Panhellenic Conference. The executive members of Panhellenic along with the sorority presidents also attended the leadership workshop offered by Dr. Pamela Garn-Nunn and Mr. Gary Gaston, assistant dean of students.

Zeta Tau Alpha 161 Reaching out to touch someone For VVVRU, the campus radio station, 1981-82 was a time for great expansion into the community as well as new areas of broadcasting. With a magazine format for broadcasting the news and a stronger programming schedule, the students of WvRU worked to bring a vast amount of information to local residents and the campus community. With new “state-of-the art” remote broadcasting equipment, students also brought listeners live basketball action as the Hustlin’ Highlanders traveled to games near and far. Yet, as they reached out and touched the community, they didn’t forget to cater to university students’ needs as they offered the best in pop, jazz and classical music as well as a Top 20 countdown of the current hit singles and a look at Britain’s finest hour in rock. For the other organizations, expanding horizons meant recruiting new members and promoting new campus and community activities. Whether it was through music, information on important topics, or fun activities, the organizations reached out and touched someone. WVRU, the campus radio station located in Porterfield Hall, offers a wide variety of programming to serve both campus and community interests. The station also serves as a training ground for students interested in the field of broadcast journalism. As WVRU’s operations manager, Kevin Mason works long hours to see that everything is running smoothly. 152 Organizations Divider ORGANIZATIONS Honoring academic excellence Alpha Lambda Delta, the freshman honorary, is for those freshmen who earn a cumulative average of at least 3.5 with 15 hours of study per quarter in either the first two or three successive quarters.

During Parent’s Weekend, members had a chance to put this knowledge to use when they designed and sewed their own fashion creations which they displayed before parents and students in a fashion show sponsored by their organization. Members of the American Chemical Society, who are either interested or majoring in chemistry, sponsored a variety of films, lectures, and student speakers as well as tutoring sessions in chemistry. Throughout the year the American Society of Interior Designers (Student Chapter) has been active, taking several small trips and interacting with professionals in the field. The organization’s various activities included an all-campus “Hat Dance,” a “Post New Year’s” dance, a Christmas wrapping service in the bookstore, participation in Career Day at Richmond, Va., a St. Patrick’s Day dance and an end-of-the-year party in the spring for its members. During the vear Terry Quig, Denise Nixon, Karen Hoover, Barbara Young and Kim Newman traveled to Williamsburg, Va., to attend the State Professional the classroom Meeting. Other trips included one to High Point, N.C. in which Terry Quig, Denise Nixon, Carol Conner, Cathy Wilson and Terri Blankenship visited the Furniture Market and another to Richmond, Va., in which Terry Quig and Karen Hoover attended the Regional Student Meeting. During the summer of 1981 President Terry Quig traveled to St. Louis to participate in the A.S.I.D. National Conference which involved professionals helping students in various design workshops. In July 1982 a representative from Radford’s chapter will travel to San Francisco to attend the national conference. The Radford Chapter of A.S.I.D. established in 1978, sets out to foster and promote fellowship, cooperation and a spirit of unity between students and professionals through communication and programming between this chapter’s members and those in the A.S.I.D. chapter; to emphasize and promote professional and social aspects of student activities on campus; to be at the students’ disposal as a stepping stone in assuming the responsibility of associate and, later, grofessional membership in the society; and to roaden the students’ understanding of the present as well as future trends in the interior design practice.

However, members sold flowers for Valentine's Day to raise money for the organization, listened to a variety of speakers in the field of criminal justice, and attended a session of the Montgomery County Court. In its first year of existence, Deutschklub organized a trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va., and participated in a wine and cheese party complete with German music, at the home of Gary Zeller, dean of the School of Fine Arts. Members also planned a German dinner, a trip to a German restaurant, a series of films and a photography exhibit. As a member of the Virginia Organization of German Stu- dents, the Deutschklub attended the annual convention this year. Whether they were reminiscing over pieces of thick, gooey pizza or challenging students to a mean game of volleyball, members of the English Club kept the good times rolling throughout the year. During the pizza dinner, old members and new got to talk over good limes past and present with alumni Scott Long. Terry Alderman and Jan Castle. Dr. Mick Sewell, adviser, Kelly Rogers. Janice Oates and Dale Hampton also attended. Every Sunday afternoon in Peters Hall, members displayed their athletic abilities on the volleyball court, playing a few games with anyone willing to challenge them. Besides these good times” members participated in a film festival, a winter quarter social and a bake sale during January.

Contrary to popular belief, members don’t just go around cooking and sewing. As a result, one of the main goals of this organization was to improve its image. Throughout the year members participated in a variety of social activities such as a Christmas party, a craft session to make Christmas gifts and the annual spring banquet. In addition to these activities. the members worked on a community service project such as the one last year in which they sent cards and gifts to a boy with cancer. During October 16 and 17, the organization hosted the fall workshop entitled Home Economics: Directions into the Future.” Approximately 100 people attended the two-day workshop from nine colleges across the state as well as a representative from a Roanoke TV station. The main objective of the work shop, according to Vice President Sandra Dimit, was to improve communications between the various schools. During March several members attended the Virginia Home Economics Association conven tion. According to Dimit being a part of the Home Econo mics Club is advantageous for majors as it helps them to establish job contacts as well as to enrich their education in home economics.

Members of the Parks and Recreation Society helped students to find out the importance of recreation and leisure in their lives through guest speaker Jim Greiner, current chairman of the Virginia “Life — Be In It” program run by the National Recreation and Parks Association. Greiner was president of the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society as well as director of the Danville Parks and Recreation Society. He has received the Fellows Award from the Virginia society. For students interested in the inevitable after they graduate — looking for a job — Radford’s Parks and Recreation Society also sponsored a workshop to enlighten and educate undergraduates about qualifications that employers are looking for when they hire employees. Mr. John Gilstrap from the Danville Parks and Recreation Society came to the university to speak on this topic in January. Ice cream may have oozed down their faces but members of the Physical Education Majors Club didn’t mind as they “pigged-out” on this cool, creamy all American favorite during their December “Ice Cream Pig-Out.” During spring, the club traded basketballs, volleyballs, baseballs and footballs for jump ropes as they jumped their way to the top dollar for the American Heart Association. During January and February the club worked on promoting continuing education in the areas of swimming, volleyball and gymnastics.

During the PBL National Leadership Conference in Chicago, representatives from chapters throughout the United States participated in various business related events. In October, members from the Radford chapter traveled to Baton Rouge, La. to attend the Southern Regional Leadership Conference where they participated in workshops which emphasized preparation for the business world in such areas as leadership ability and confidence. The Radford Chapter of PBL has kept up its winning tradition throughout the year. Last April, during the PBL Leadership Conference in Staunton, Va., several members swept top awards in business-related competitions such as Mr. Future Business Teacher.” “Ms. Future Business Teacher,” “Ms. Future Business Executive,” Business Administration, Business Communication and Extemporaneous Speaking. The crowning touch, however, was being able to take home the title of “Most Outstanding Chapter.” What makes PBL so outstanding is its commitment to its members as well as to the university. During April. PBL members modeled spring fashions from local clothing stores in a fashion show by the fountain. During winter quarter, the organization sponsored a workshop on parliamentary procedures for all campus clubs and organizations in which Mrs. Russell Johnston from Salem, Va., a member of both the American and National Associations of Parliamentarians, spoke on such topics as fundamentals of parliamentary procedures and advanced techniques for conducting organized meetings. For PBL members, a guest speaker from John Norman gave a presentation on “How to Dress for Success.” To raise money for the organization’s conference trips, PBL members sold two-year planning calendars and telephone directories in addition to sponsor- ing a family portrait photo session. To the Society for Collegiate Journalists, apples, or rather apple butter, are the lifeblood of its financial security. For about a decade SCJ’s annual Apple Butter Brew has become the society’s major fundraiser, sweetening its money pot with hundreds of dollars for trips, banquets, initiations and the bi-annual National Convention. This year the brew brought the society $608. 50. In the past members traveled the long, winding roads to Bent Mountain to pick the apples but this year they went to the home of Dr. Gary Zeller, dean of fine arts. Once this major fundraiser was through, members and new initiates celebrated with dinner and a play at the Barn Dinner Theatre in Roanoke. But SCJ’s activities didn’t stop there. As soon as the Freshman Registers arrived, members worked on distributing them to students who purchased them. Several members worked on establishing a $800 journalism scholarship with the qualifications for recipients while others worked on a proposal for giving academic credit to students workingon a publication. In cooperation with Student Life, the society helped sponsor Jed Duvall, CBS news correspondent, as a guest speaker. Members also submitted articles, advertisements and photographs in the National Publications Contest. Last year the Radford Chapter swept away top awards in the categories of advertising, photography, cartoons, and sports writing. Last year as well as this year, the society sponsored a local awards contest in similar categories as the nationals, such as news, editorials, features, sports, advertising and photography. With the money raised from apple butter and other fund-raising events, the society took a trip to Atlanta, Ga. for relaxation, good times, and tours to jour nalistic places of interest such as the Atlanta Constitution. The society also used some of its funds to donate $50 to the Big Brother Big Sister program as well as $85 to WVRU, the campus radio station. The purpose of SCJ is to promote high standards of journalism on campus. To become a national member students must work at least three quarters on one of the campus media such as the Beehive, the Tartan or WVRU.

From fundraisers to campus and community service projects, Circle K does it all. During the fall quarter alone, the club participated in about 30 campus, community and district projects, averaging around two to three a week. When members weren’t helping the mentally retarded, the handicapped or the Big Brother Big Sister program, they were providing their services to the Women’s Resource Center, the Cancer Society or the Kidney Foundation. Circle K members also donated their time to usher all the cultural concerts on campus, to assist the Red Cross with the Bloodmobile, to conduct workshops at a Dublin Nursing home and to decorate the Christ mas tree in Heth Hall with popcorn strands, cranber ry strands and handmade ornaments. In the end the club’s hard work paid off. During the Capital District convention in Blacksburg, the Radford chapter swept away several top honors including Outstanding President Award, Outstanding Secretary Award, first place and honorable mention in Single Service for their work during Handicap Awareness Week and first and second place in achievement. Mauricia Sledd was also elected lieutenant governor of the Western Division during this convention. In August 1981. Larry Hawkins, Nancy Witt, Mauricia Sledd. Natalie Smidt, Donnetta Smith, Carol Duncan, Michelle Huckabee, Mary Lee Fergu son and Lee Livick joined approximately 1.000 Circle K members from across the United States at the International Convention in Philadelphia. When they aren’t serving the campus or the community, members of the Radford Chapter are raising money so thev can attend these conventions. This year, they sold memo pads, auctioned slaves and cn couraged students to buy mums for their moms when they came to visit on Parent’s Weekend. Since it was founded in 1979 by Pam Martin, Circle K has grown from nine to 70 members, all of whom strive to serve both the campus and the surrounding community. Promoting the Republican way while stirring up the political spirit among students. That’s what the College Republicans strive for. To help stimulate student votes and inform students about the campaign issues during the gubernatorial race, members participated in the Mock Election and Mock Debate sponsored by the SGA. During the debate, speakers from the College Republicans and the Y'oung Demo-crates discussed student issues such as the state allocation of money to colleges and student representatives on the Board of Visitors, taxation, resignation of the gubernatorial candidates’ present positions, and the merits of a Democratic governor working with a Democratic General Assembly versus a Republican governor working with a Republican legislature. Other activities for the year included an open house in December, several receptions in Roanoke and a coffee and donut reception for Cheryn Durrette, wife of the Republican candidate for Attorney General. During the summer of 1981, Carol Steele, president of the club, attended the Morton Blackwell School of Politics. COLLEGE REPUBLICANS: (Front Row) Julie Charles. Anne Daniels (secretary).

College Republicans Circle K 173 From social dance to brotherhood To members of the Cotillion Club, planning the spring formal each year is more than a social event. It’s a way of promoting sisterhood. Thus, it isn’t any wonder that this club spent much of the year working with the Panhellenic Council to become a local sorority. Sometime in the near future, then, the Cotillion Club won’t be just another social dance club, and its members won’t just be planning the spring formal. They’ll be delving into many new and different activities. But for now, they’ll continue to plan and work on their biggest activity, the spring formal. In addition they’ll plan entertainment and make decorations for the MDA Superdance. The Cotillion Club holds the honor of being the oldest club on campus. They’re the German Club; yet their purpose isn’t to promote an interest in the German language. Consequently, students confuse this club with the Deuts-chklub. This ‘‘German Club” is a social dance club, the rivals of the Cotillion Club. Each year this club plans and promotes the Harvest Ball held in Heth Ballroom during Parent’s Weekend. Besides overseeing the Honors Program, the Honors Student Association tries to promote faculty-student interaction as well as more meaningful student-student interaction. To accomplish these goals, the association worked on forming a group for those interested in learning more about themselves and more about others as well as learning how to become better able to share and say what they mean to people and to build intimate and meaningful relationships. In the International Relations Club foreign students from the same country but with different cultural backgrounds can become friends without the interference of politics. Since its formation seven or eight vears ago by a Radford College faculty member, Noel Wallace, the club has undergone some major changes. It changed its name from International Students to International Relations and its membership increased with the growing enrollment of foreign students. Originally, one of the club’s major purposes was to find a place for foreign students to live in between quarters. But now most of them are able to live off campus. Since its name change, mem-' bership is now open to anyone wanting to attend its meetings and participate in its planned programs. In the future the club wants to have programs which will involve other students on campus as well as trips around the local area so foreign students can see where they live.

They’re members of the Karate and Judo Club, and they love putting on a show. Throughout the year this group gave powerful demonstrations at several Radfortf dorms, the University Mall in Blacksburg and in the Dedmon Center during halftime. In addition to these local demonstrations the club traveled to Atlanta, Ga. to attend the ‘‘Battle of Georgia” as well as to Lynchburg. Va. to compete in the fall nationals. To the Marlins, swimming is more than just a sport. It’s an art. With costuming, lights, music and decorations, these nine aquamaids turned the Peters Hall pool into a stage for their graceful ‘‘water ballets.” During Parents’ Weekend the Marlins performed a synchronized swimming show for parents and students. Entitled “Memories,” the show featured several “oldies but goodies” tunes. As a member of the National Institute of Creative Aquatics, the Marlins performed off-campus shows as well. For 20 years they’ve been givingsynohror.ized swimming shows, which makes them the oldest sports club on campus. Imagine yourself zipping down a sleek, snow-covered mountain, the wind whipping through your hair and nipping at your nose, then feeling the thrill cf victory after it’s all over. For members of the Ski Club, being a part of this ski experience was a thrill in itself. According to Eric Van Vliet it was exciting when about a hundred students got psyched for their ski trips. To feel the ski experience, members traveled from Snowshoe, W.Va. to Wintergreen, N.C. to Sugarbush, Vt. About a week before these trips, these ski enthusiasts traded beer mugs for balls of wax. During these “waxing parties” members waxed their skis and prepared other equipment for the trip ahead of them. But before one foot could step on the bus to sun and snow, money had to be raised, a resort had to be chosen, and the event had to be publicized. To organize these tasks the club created a fund-raising committee to help ease trip expenses, a program committee to shop around for the resort with the best prices and a bulletin board committee to post the ski trips along with ads for ski equipment and clothing. With money in their pockets and wax on their skis, they could finally think snow. Ujima, the black student organization, was formed to promote the study and understanding of Black culture. This year members were involved in several campus and community projects including a fashion show given for parents and student during Parents’ Weekend and a series of workshops.

Mixing fellowship with fun Freshmen, feeling lost and alone, could find friendly faces and a warm welcome awaiting them at the Baptist Student Union’s welcome party during the first week of school. Besides making freshmen feel at ease, members of the BSU participated in worship services, retreats, conferences, community and university service projects as well as recreational and fine arts teams. During the summer of 1981, three BSU members, selected from among students from 18 other schools, worked in Virginia churches for 10 weeks. For those students who wanted to get away from it all for awhile, the Campus Crusade for Christ sponsored several fall and spring retreats. The group also sponsored one to two “College Life” nights each quarter, attended a winter Christmas conference and worked on summer projects around the world. During the summer of 1981, Jamie NVinship participated in the Myrtle Beach Summer Project while Jill Begley attended the Institute of Biblical Studies. Through songs, prayers and discussions, members of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship committed themselves to understanding the Scriptures. Each week they took a topic, such as God’s wisdom, and probed it through thought-provoking questions. In addition to holding these group discussions, members visited local nursing homes twice a month, attended the spring conference in February and participated in a variety of social activities. 178 Baptist Student Union Young Democrats Ken Prum r Bruce Denton CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST: (Front Row) Jill Johnson, Susie Polk.

CCG'Catholic Student AssocJIntervarsity Christian Fellowship 179 Promoting religious growth It was a cold and misty night as tiny flakes lightly dusted the ground with a white covering. But students didn’t mind as they walked, dressed in their Sunday best, to the Chapel, the bells ringing somberly across the campus. Once inside, the warmth of candlelight and the glow from the Christmas tree warmed their hearts. Once again this elegant candlelight service, sponsored by the United Campus Fellowship, touched students with the true meaning of Christmas. Besides this yearly holiday worship service, the fellowship also participated in a variety of social programs and service projects. Whenever students saw clowns, sporting balloons and lollipops, floating around registration and the campus, two words came to their minds: no not Bar-num and Bailey, but the Wesley Foundation. According to Carol Dunsmore, director, the foundation use clowns as a promotional device to get students interested in what Wesley is all about — providing a community atmosphere that’s conducive to individual Christian growth. When members were’t clowning around for atten- tion, they were serving the community, holding worship services and study groups or participating in weekly donut discussions along with faculty and people from the community on such political and social controversies as abortion, pornography and ERA. Other activities for the year included a yard sale, Thursday night Bible studies, choir practice for the group’s performances at area church services, a rock-a-thon to raise money for charity and a time management workshop. The group also participated in a spiritual life retreat and a Bible seminar during the spring as well as a statewide convention that included students from other Virginia schools. Throughout the year, the Wesley Foundation provided students with a recreational haven for playing volleyball, ping pong and pool or for watching TV as well as a peaceful haven for studying and relaxing. Above all, the foundation provided students with a great escape for leaving everything behind to just sit and meditate. UNITED CAMPUS CHAPEL FELLOWSHIP: (Iront Row) Cora Forrester, Ginny Thome.

Airing their views around campus As one of several all-campus programming groups, the Black History Committee is made up of students who work to develop leadership skills through the presentation of programs on a variety of topics. This year the committee worked on bringing such famous Blacks as Hank Aaron and Maynard Jackson to the RU campus as guest speakers. It also sponsored the Eclipse Ball in April. Another all-campus programming group, the Committee on Women, underwent major changes this year. The committee re-worded its constitution so that membership is open to anyone as well as to faculty and staff members. It recruited new members and appointed a new faculty adviser as well. Kai Galvin, co-chairperson, had found that men tend to be the most active members. She said women’s issues affect men as well as women, yet the men tend to give better responses to these issues. In addition to holding regular business meetings, the committee had discussion sessions in which students and faculty aired their views on a number of topics from the Human Life Amendment to How Women’s Roles Have or Have Not Changed Over the Years. Other discussions dealt with women and careers, women and the law. and women and sexuality. Throughout the year, the committee sponsored a debate on ERA, brought Ed Asner from “Lou Grant” as a guest speaker in April, helped with coffee houses and presented a series of movies on women’s issues.

The ones that bring you a little bit of culture, a little bit of rock-n-roll and a whole lot of fun. As the largest all-campus programming group run entirely by students, Student Life uses the talents and creativity of many people to give RU students a taste of culture, recreation, even education through its various events ranging from pop and rock concerts to movies to guest speakers. With money from the Student Activity Fund, Student Life lets the stars come out on campus at a reduced rate to students. Working behind the scenes to bring the stars to Radford are over a hundred students who put in many hours on one of eight committees: Coffee House, Guest Speakers, Movie, Flays and Shows, Publicity, Special Events and Technical Services. The Coffee House Committe sponsors weekly coffee houses that feature both student and professional talent. Committee members are involved in all aspects of these intimate musical presentations. In addition to student entertainment, recent Student Life coffee houses have featured the “Northstar Band” and the Charlottesville Allstars.’’ This year students packed the Highland Room to hear such coffee house favorites as “Deaton and White” and “Brian Huskey” as well as newcomers Arne Brav” and “Mason-Roller Line.” Members of the Concert Committee, responsible for bringing popular musical entertainment to the campus, have the opportunity to learn about many of the behind-the-scenes aspects of concert entertainment. They’re directly responsible for both before-the-show duties, such as ticket sales, and day-of-the-show tasks, such as equipment set-up and security. Past performers who’ve entertained RU students include Billy Joel, Robert Palmer and the Dirt Band. This year students had the opportunity to hear the southern rock sounds of .38 Special and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The Guest Speakers Committee hosts personalities involved in issues of concern in today’s society with topics ranging from literature to the Loch Ness Monster. Past speakers have included John Barth, activist Jerry Rubin and Pittsburgh Stcelcr Rocky Bleier. For the preps on campus, this committee brought them Lisa Birnbach, author of the Preppy Handbook, to speak on the essentials of preppydom.

Committee members select Films for screening and work on all aspects of the showing. This year students had the chance to see the best in comedy, drama and horror from “Airplane,” “Stir Crazy” and “Arthur” to “Ordinary People,” “The Four Seasons” and “Raging Bull” to “Halloween” and “Friday 13.” The Plays and Show's Committee brings acclaimed performing arts groups to the campus. Members are involved in all aspects of professional theater production, from booking the show to setting up scenery on the day of the show. In the past few years the Plays and Shows Committee has brought West Side Story,” hypnotist Gil Eagles, and “God spell” to Radford audiences. This year students could watch the Hartford Ballet perform its graceful moves or a modern rendition of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic tale, “A Christmas Carol.” They dabble in tempra paints and india ink, making huge colorful banners proclaiming the appearance of a celebrity. They’re the Publicity Committee, working to promote student awareness of what Student Life is, what it does and how students can get involved. This committee is also responsible for dealing with the campus as well as local media in publicizing Student Life events. The Special Events Committee is one of the most versatile committees in Student Life. Members of this committee create a myriad of novelty events, among which have been the annual Spring Carnival, Wild West Night and the recreational games program “Playfair.” The newest committee in Student Life. Technical Services, is responsible for coordinating the tremendous amount of technical work that’s required of a programming group of its size. Members are trained in the operation of lighting systems, sound equipment, movie projectors and other technical equipment. Yes, members of Student Life may be “animals,” they may even be a little wild and crazy, but they sure know how to bring a bunch of people together for good times and maybe even a little work.

Leading the way to change for a better student environment. That’s what the Student Government Association is all about. From the day student to the dorm student, SGA representatives work long hours to develop and implement policies and programs that’ll benefit students. For those involved in student government, the job is more than just a title on a resume. It’s an educational experience as well as members learn leadership, management and communication skills through their work on one of six councils. At the helm of this political ship is the Executive Council, the coordinating body for all phases of the SGA. During the summer of 1981, members attended a summer workshop at Groundhog Mountain that enabled them to become familiar with each of their duties as well as to get acquainted with one another. In the spring, this group traveled to Richmond to participate in the Student Legislator Open Forum. Next in line is the legislative body of the SGA — the Senate. Its members are elected student senators from each residence hall and the day students. Throughout the year, members reviewed and created campus policies and procedures. The Senate is comprised of two councils, Academic Affairs (Ac) and Non-Academic Affairs (Non-Ac). This year members of Ac established an exam study area, sponsored a study skills seminar and investigated academic policies and programs. Members of Non-Ac sponsored a health center survey and studied changes in the SGA constitution and internal governance. Composed of commuting student senators and representatives, members of the Day Student Council represent commuting student opinion as well as work with university policies concerning commuting students. This year, council members worked on a snow policy” to excuse day students from classes when it snows, trying to establish a non-commuters day student parking lot for those unable to carpool, and began issuing a newsletter to keep day students informed of the issues relating to them. For the dorm students’ voice on campus there’s the Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC). Comprised of House Council Presidents elected from each dorm, IRHC gave needy children in the community a joyous pre-Christmas treat during its annual Christmas party. The council also sponsored a backgammon tournament, worked on promoting security in the residence halls and attended the NACCURH conference. The Special Services Council, comprised of program chairpersons from each House Council and day student representatives, is responsible for creating and operating all SGA-sponsored special services. Throughout the year, members of this council helped with the book exchange at the end of each quarter, chose Radford’s Apple Blossom Princess as its representative to the annual Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, sponsored Autumn Court selection during fall quarter, offered a series of mini courses to students and implemented the student insurance program. A newcomer to the SGA is the Class Officer Council, consisting of officers from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. Members of this council work on policies and concerns relevant to individual classes and help with the planning of traditional class events and other class-sponsored activities. Whether they’re working on a policy that’ll affect day students or a program which will benefit everyone, the SGA lets the student body stand up and be counted. “Tell Santa what vou want for Christmas.” Bringing a little Christmas cheer to local children was just one of many activities that Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) members participated in throughout the year.

For nine months Carol Parker, Beehive co-editor, and Terri Link, coeditor and 1982-83 Beehive editor. shared the burden of putting out the yearbook, from writing copy to developing photos. Right: Unorganized chaos. Deadline time usually means chaos time. As a result, trying to find anything on the editor’s desk, from a photo to a piece of copy, is like trying to find a needle in the haystack. “Another deadline?! Already! You’ve got to be kidding!” Yes, it was that time once again. Time to pull out the pencils, the rulers, the final layout sheets, the bright orange Scale-o-graph. Time to crank up the coffee pot, the top 10 sounds of K9’2, and the HIM Selectric. Time for headaches, frayed nerves, luck of sleep, and decisions piled atop decisions. There was copy to be proofed, copy to be typed, even copy to be written. There were photos to be developed, photos to be printed, photos to be cropped. There were headlines and captions to be written and typed. The big question of the moment was, Would we ever get finished? Would it ever be over? Before long those infamous silvery curls and that warm, tender smile soon appeared through the workroom doorway. Standing amidst all the cluttered chaos was none other than Mr. Charlie Garrison, Hunter Publishing Company representative. “Sorry Charlie. It’s not quite ready yet. But we promise we’ll have it to Winston-Salem Wednesday,’’ we said. “Ya’ll better. Ya’ll got to meet this deadline,” he said in his usual charming Southern drawl. We know, Charlie. We know!” With two missed deadlines, a quite tidy sum of money and a late year book on the line, we knew time 190 Beehive was of the essence. The Pressure was on. And so, with weary determination we went hack to the grind, churning out layout after layout, copy after copy, picture after picture as Charlie’s little message stared at us, reminding us of what lay ahead because, as usual, we were behind schedule. Etched in chalky white were the words, “Only Robinson Crusoe has his work done by Friday.” Oh. if only we could be like good ol Robinson C. Alas, D-day, Wednesday, arrived as we frantically worked on a tew last minute details, a caption here, a headline there. Then in a style befitting Magnum P.I., we sped away towards Winston-Salem, pulling into the parking lot of Hunter Publishing just as the guard was about to lock the front doors. We made it. As we looked through the proof pages weeks later, fondly remembering the struggles, the skipped classes, the lowered grades, the cups upon cups of soft drinks and the late night munchies, we knew we’d made it despite the missed deadlines, the resignations, and the small, inexperienced staff who did it all from layout to copy writing to photography. Yet, deep down inside, as we looked ahead to the day when we’d thumb through the final product, we knew we wouldn’t have traded our experiences for the world. Though we had struggled, we had learned. Though we had felt the pain of defeat and frustration, we had grown a bit stronger because of it. Above all. we knew that despite its flaws and because of its changes, our thing of beauty — the 1982 Beehive — would be a joy forever. lohn Chonteau Left: The Beehive— a tic tool for learning, ever.

Late nights, frayed nerves and worn-out typewriters. To anyone who’s ever worked on the Tartan, these phrases, sights and sounds of newspaper production become as familiar and routine as sleeping and eating. From the time the copy’s assigned until the paper goes to press, the pressure’s constantly on. Gathering the information, putting it down on paper in the mandatory inverted-pyramid style, pounding it out on the ragged typewriter — all are essentials to getting the week’s news, features and sports to the student body. All are done in a short amount of time. Once the copy’s edited for style, punctuation, grammar, spelling and accuracy, the section editors began feeling the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat of headline writing. They tasted the thrill of victory whenever their headlines grabbed the reader’s attention while fitting perfectly in the columnar width; the agony of defeat whenever their headline masterpieces ran two counts over or five counts under. While section editors struggled with the do’s and don’ts of headline writing, Tartan photographers fought a never-ending battle with dust and dirt specks, scratches, overdevelopment and underdevelopment in their quest for the perfect photograph. Alas, with copy, photos, headlines, captions, advertisements, graphics and border line tape in hand, the staff was ready to carve out yet another edition of the Tartan. Over by the light table in Room 211, Heth, stood the triumvirate of the sports pages — Mike Ashley, Ron Barker and David Utnik — shootin’ the breeze as they worked to bring the weekly account of basketball, soccer or lacrosse to life through pictures and words. Gathered around the table were other devoted Tartaners like Gina Ferolino and Leesa Fish, Brian Cook and Kathy Loan, Anne Bowman and David Wren — all doing their part, with razor blade in hand, to see that every piece of copy, every photo, every headline, every ad worked together to form an eye-pleasing layout that revealed the latest news, personalities and views on campus. With pen and paper in hand, Joanie Greback could whipout, in a matter of seconds, any one of her well-known graphics from typewriters to her little raindrop people whenever a story didn’t fit just so or an unreasonable amount of white space cropped up. Working closely with Greback was Kellie Osuchowski, doing her own bit of pasting, cutting, and taping as she made sure the other layouts flowed in unison. At the helm of this production crew was N ancy Bell who added her own creative touches to the pages, which she had dummied the night before, as she answered questions fired to her from both sides, made snap decisions about what to edit and what not to edit and yelled directions above the blaring rock sounds of Q99. To every Tartaner, whether a staff photographer, section editor or editor-in-chief, Thursdays meant a day of rest, relaxation and relief. A day to sit back, prop your feet up and thumb through the paper, analyzing your mistakes and praising your accomplishments. Yet, the peacefulness of making a deadline was always short-lived, for come 6 p.m. Thursday evening, another one was lurking in the shadows ... 1981-82 TARTAN STAFF: (Front How) Wayne Bentley.

Tartan 193 WVRU: The changing voice of Radford For WVRU, the campus radio station, change was more than just a quarter’s worth or even a dollar’s worth. It was thousands of dollars worth with the purchase of new “state-of-the-art” remote broadcasting equipment as well as the remodeling of both studios — all done in an effort to bring Highlander basketball games closer to home in addition to improving the quality of broadcasting. With a university foundation grant, the station increased its album collection in a variety of musical styles from jazz to pop to classical. Yet, some of the major changes which touched WVRU couldn’t be measured in dollars and cents. One such change occured in programming content. Deciding to “leave the world and national news to stations that (could) do it better than us,” according to Mr. Dave Sabaini, director of radio, WVRU changed its news style to a magazine format focusingon local feature type stories. It also began reaching out to the community through programming, hosted by academic departments as well as local business and professional people, that covered such topics as home management, aging and the elderly and health care. The radio station spiced up its overall programming and aimed at increasing the number of student listeners, through the creation of two new student-directed programs, “Britain’s Finest Hour” with Karl Altau and “NewRiver Valley Top 20” with Mark Antley. Besides programming, change touched WVRU in another way. During winter quarter, the number of student trainees reached an all-time high. Approximately 20 students decided they wanted to dabble in tin various aspects of radio from news gathering and interviewing to engineering to the production of public affairs announcements. After the winds of change had settled in, a lifeless organization, the Radio Guild, was resurrected once again. Since WVRU is a non-commercial radio station, it can’t raise money through paid advertising. So this organization was created a while back as a monetary support club for the station. It raises money through a variety of fund-raising projects, such as all-campus parties, then donates the profits to WVRU. In addition to waking up this sleeping giant, the winds of change ushered in a dream-come-true for Sabaini. During fall quarter, the Radford chapter of Alpha Fipsilon Rho, the national broadcasting fraternity, began working on its first initiation of members. The purpose of this fraternity, said Sabaini, is to “draw professionals in the field and students together to discuss the job market and the kind of experience they’ll (the students) need as well as to develop their talents in an area of special interest to them.” W’ith WVRU’s increasing visibility, both on and off campus, as well as its continued growth, the future seems bright for this young station. Yet, a recent development may dull that future. Rev. .Jerry Falwcll, leader of the Moral Majority, has petitioned the FCC to force WVRU to relinquish its frequency to this organization so that it may broadcast its religious programming to a larger audience. Will WVRU be forced to move to a weaker frequency after it’s made such astounding progress? Only the Shadow knows ...

Alpha Epsilon RhoAWRU 195 Filling someone else’s shoes It’s never easy being the new kid in the neighborhood. The old gang can’t seem to remember your name nor can they forget their ol’ buddy, the one you replaced. Yes, the task of filling someone else’s shoes is never easy. But Dr. Gary Zeller, the new dean of Fine Arts didn't mind. Settling into new routines was old hat to him. As fall quarter tumbled into winter, everyone on campus accepted him as though he were a long lost friend. And he returned their gracious acceptance of him, treating them to delightful dinners at his home where he displayed his mastery of the culinary arts. Zeller wasn’t the only “new kid on the block,” however. Dr. David Hill, director of Residential Life; Mr. Keith Keiper, assistant director of Heth Hall, and Ms. Nancy Johnson, manager of Heth Information, all came to Radford to replace an “old friend or to become a new one. They, too, blended into the old neighborhood with ease, quickly making new friends among students, faculty, staff and administration. As the new dean of Fine Arts, Dr. Gary Zeller plans to promote a national image of Radford University through its School of Fine Arts. During an interview with a student, he reveals some of his plans to accomplish this goal. 19fi AdministratiornFacuIty Divider ADMINISTRATION FACULTY A iministration'Facuity Divider 197 Bruce Denton I)r.

Raising the Hoof— Dr. Dedmon shows a sense of pride as the hot air roof is erected over the Dedmon Center. Working hard for Radford President Donald Dedmon is a professional who puts in long hours every day for the betterment of the university. Although Dr. Dedmon isn’t seen frequently on campus, he feels his relationship with students is one of open, honest, and friendly communication. Dedmon says students often come to talk with him, and he’s always willing to take time to visit with them. One of Dr. Dedmon’s favorite subjects is the growing enrollment of freshmen. The president is also pleased with the quality of new students and, he noted that of all students applying, half graduated in the top quarter of their class and 37 percent graduated in the top one percent of their class. Dr. Dedmon feels this improved quality of students improves the university. The president also reflects on the university and through his hard work Radford University is a school we can all be proud of. Good Health — Jogging each day keeps Dr. Dedmon in shape. However, finding the time in his busy schedule is the problem. Administration Dr. Dedmon 199 Top woman on campus Acting Vice President for Business Affairs Jane Helm is the only woman in a top administrative position on campus. She received her master’s degree at Virginia Tech in accounting, and is a certified public accountant. She taught accounting at Radford before assuming the vice presidency. How does it feel working both sides of the facuity administrative fence? Helm said, “I feel I have a better perspective because I know the wants of students and faculty.” Helm’s responsibilities cover a range of enterprises from the dining hall to the bookstore. Each week she meets with her key staff which include the heads of personnel, auxiliary services, finance and budget, physical plant, and the police chief. These meetings help her coordinate work among the departments she supervises. Helm is a native of Arkansas and she’s lived in a variety of states from Alaska to Georgia. She enjoys playing piano, (and says she isn’t very good), playing bridge (which she admits with a smile she does well), and cooking. She also enjoys Radford University and says, “Radford University is a great place to be.

Nancy Johnson, a native of Lebanon. Va., is a tiny lady with a big job. She’s responsible for answering questions ranging from, Where do I find my adviser?” to “When’s the next V’FW party?” Johnson has to have a card file in her mind to store information concerning anything on campus. When asked if there has been unusual questions asked of her. Johnson replied, “I had a call and someone asked me ‘When is the Radford Christmas Parade?’ “Someone also called and asked me what time it was.” Not only does Johnson have to disperse information, she’s responsible for scheduling anything happening on campus. If a group wants to have a meeting in Heth or if a student wants to have a dorm party, it goes through her. Johnson is not only responsible for scheduling, she’s responsible for seeing that students get tickets to campus concerts, as well as accounting for tickets and money after concerts. Johnson says she loves being married to a wonderful man and playing different kinds ol sports with her three sons. She’s also a choir director, an organist, and a member of a quartet at Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Christianburg. When asked what she likes most about her job she replied with her warm smile, The students. I love the students.” Ms. Nancy Johnson breaks for casual conversation with a student in Heth.

Hill worked as Dean of Students at Virginia Tech and then as district manager and education consultant for McGraw-Hill, Inc. Hill is enthusiastic about the Radford campus and its students. He enjoys talking with students, eating in the dining hall (he actually thinks the food is good), reading, gardening, and listening to music. Hill finds that everything on campus has some special aspect. He likes the dorms (when he isn’t disturbed by a blaring stereo from the depths of Jefferson Hall), the fountain (when it isn’t filled with soap bubbles), and the architecture of Heth Hall. Hill finds the statue in front of Muse appealing and doesn’t understand why students find it obtrusive (or why they refer to it as “the urinals of Muse”). One student inquired of Hill, “Couldn’t you just move it?” Hill couldn’t think of any other place where the statue would be more appealing. Hill feels Radford University’s campus has something about it that all types of students can relate to. Hill said, “If an art major and a biology major go into the Alumni Gardens they may see it in two very different ways. The feeling they get from being there is something they can relate to no mat ter how different they see thing.” He also feels one should look back on his college years and be able to say, “1 haven’t only gotten an education but I have grown ... as a person.” Director of Residential Life, David Hill, keeps smiling through the busy workdny.

Who makes sure you get information from the information desk? Who makes sure the “Odyssey 2000” pinball machine works? Who makes sure Heth Hall is operating at all times? Keith A. Keipcr, assistant director of Heth. Keiper, a native of Manassas, Va.. attended Radford from 1973-1977 and was graduated with a degree in business management. Keiper said, “I started getting interested in Heth when 1 was a work study student in the recreation facili- ties, and the next year I was hired as a manager.” After graduation, Virginia Tech saw he had experience in the student center, and a business management degree and hired him to oversee operations in Squires Student Center. Later, the assistant director’s job was created and Keiper began work July 16, 1981. Keiper is personable and enjoys dealing with people — especially students. He said, “The interaction with students is the best part of my job — it makes everything worthwhile. I’ve met some really unique people here.” He works with a committee of students and feels they’re a great help. Keiper enjoys antique collecting, water-skiing, participating in campus sports, and being back. He feels Radford has progressed since he attended. and the quality of education has improved. Keiper said the changeover from college to university was instrumental in this improvement. Mr. Keith Keiper. assistant director of Heth Hall, quickly adapted to his new position. Though his job kept him busy overseeing the operation of Heth. he still had time to chat with students.

Millipede mania The mere sight of a millipede can make the average person cringe and the smartest one say “What is it?” To many the millipede is just a “worm with legs’' that you find crawling under a rock. To Radford University’s Dr. Richard Hoffman, the creature is a field of fascinating study. Dr. Hoffman, a professor at Radford for 21 years, has devoted 30 years to the study of the millipede. The Radford professor serves as one of only two researchers in the world who classify the millipede. His studies are recognized by many prominent organizations, including The Chronicle of Higher Education. A recent issue featured Dr. Hoffman’s classification techniques and his hypothesis on how millipedes may prove that continents drift. Dr. Hoffman also holds the distinction of being the host of the first international conference on the studies of millipedes and centipedes held in the United States. Scientists from all over the world attend these myriapodology conferences to learn new developments in this unusual field of study. Dr. Hoffman gave one of the lectures in the five-day conference at Radford. The study and classification is a relatively new field of science. Dr. Hoffman himself estimates he is nearly 35 years behind in his own work. Many believe the study of the creature has no applicability, but the National Science Foundation has enough confidence in Dr. Hoffman’s studies to award Radford a $32,000 grant to aid the professor's studies. Though most people don’t even know what a millipede is, one has to admire and appreciate the work Dr. Hoffman is doing. Bringing an international conference to a town of under 12,000 and a campus of 6,000 is a tribute to Dr. Hoffman and an honor to Radford University. i(i$ love for creatures, both bip and small, has helped Dr. Richard Hoffman's quest for different species ot millipedes. 208 Biology Hoffman Ken Frajeer Ken Frogcr CHEMISTRY: (Front Row) L)r.

He demands perfection. The shocking’ LeShock “Nobody can fold a piece of paper in half ten times. Nobody.” This saying hangs framed above the desk of Edward LeShock. When asked why this is of importance LeShock said, “Because it cannot be done. Nobody can do it.” He laughed and said. “You can win a lot of bets that way.” LeShock. A shock? Most definitely. From his interesting sayings on the walls of his office to art and journalism students grumbling, “Taking a class under LeShock is tough.” When asked if LeShock feels he’s “a shock,” his first response is laughter. Then his tone grows serious, “I believe I should have perfection from students. They know the field they’re going into is competitive, but they’ve no idea how competitive it can be. It can be awesome; they should be prepared. They have to have discipline in their craft.” Before teaching at Radford University, LeShock received a B.A. and B.S. at Penn State University and a M.Ed. at Temple University, Tyler School of Art. He taught at Tyler and also freelanced for top advertising agencies. LeShock decided to teach at Radford University because the department of art was promising, and the move was good for his wife. She’s Head Special Education Coordinator for the City of Radford. When asked how he feels when a student produces an exceptional work of art he said, “I feel as proud as if I’d done it myself. We’ve such good people here. I feel as though I’d a hand in producing it.” LeShock. Proud of students. Demanding. Perfectionist. But fold a piece of paper in half ten times?

Preaching Socrates to his ‘Catbirds’ When one walks into Dr. Nick Pappas' office it isn’t uncommon to hear, “Hi, sit down and let me tell you a joke!” or “Okay, let’s sing some songs!” or, if you’ve ever had him for a class, “Hi Catbird!” Pappas’ appearance in his political science classes can almost be threatening. He walks in, his huge frame towering over the students, steel blue eyes surveying “the troops” for the quarter. He then assigns each class a name such as “Catbirds or “Bluebirds,” depending on which “regiment” one is in. His voice thunders through the halls of Young and his fist pounds fiercely on the podium. He preaches Socrates and Machiavelli as his eyes twinkle with enthusiasm. If one doesn’t learn about political science he’ll learn about linguistics. Pappas is always breaking down a word and telling the student its origin. For instance, he’ll take the word “aardvark” and break it down: aard, African, meaning earth; and vark, African, meaning P g. The outgoing personality of this professor contrasts starkly to his personality on a one-to-one basis. Pappas professes to be an old stick-in-the-mud.” Pappas happens to be very active, though. He enjoys gardening, hunting, fishing, and shooting. He also enjoys jogging, but claims his wife makes him do it. Dr. and Mrs. Pappas get up early in the morning and run four laps around the Radford High School track. His wife is a French teacher at Radford High and they’ve a son in the eighth grade. Pappas is also a weight-room coach at Radford High School. In his spare time, Pappas makes muffins to bring to his morning classes, lie enjoys chewing tobacco and loafing ... which he admits, with a smile in his eyes, is a thing only a scholar can do well.

Doing a little geology detective work Puzzling, yet fascinating — that’s what geology is to Dr. Robert Whisonant. And that's why he enjoys teaching the science that touches everything. “I enjoy geology because it's like a puzzle, doing a little detective work.” said Robert Whisonant, chairman of the geology department. Whisonant is enthusiastic about his area of study. He said, “Geology touches everything. Students wonder how I know there used to be a magnetic field on earth which is no longer here, or how I know the earth has a core, or how I know how old the world is. I know because it’s all in the rocks. You can look at rocks and piece by piece construct what the land was like years ago. That’s exciting.” Whisonant is also excited about the fact that in 1975 there were no geology majors, and now there are about 60. Before teaching at Radford, Whisonant received a B.S. from Clem-son, and a M.S. and Ph.D. from Florida State University. He worked four years at Exxon, and obtained the position of senior petroleum geologist. He was about to be promoted to a managerial position but. he said, “I didn’t want to manage a staff under me. I wanted to work in the geological aspect of the company.” After leaving Exxon, Whisonant decided he wanted to teach. He answered an ad in the back of a geological publication and was flown from Texas where he said it was, “hot, brown, and dry.” Whisonant said, “I stepped off the plane in Roanoke and there were mountains, breezy air, and it was green. No one had to sell me on staying here.” Whisonant felt as though geology not only-had a practical use but was romantic as well. He said, “Do you realize millions of years ago a star exploded and the carbon w-ithin the star may have touched dinosaurs, a flower, and could even be in the chemical makeup of your body today?” Yes, geology does touch everything.

For the 1,385 new faces around campus, life was full of surprises. From the first day of school, these eager young college students experienced freshman shock — finding three beds in a room built for two. As if that weren’t enough, taking a shower for the first time under one built for a midget made them realize that college life wasn’t going to be easy, especially when the water suddenly changed from soothing warm to screaming hot everytime a flushing woosh” echoed from above or below. How quickly they learned the meaning of Watch out!” Yet, as fall tumbled into winter and winter melted into spring, they soon adjusted to the college life of juggling school work, extracurricular activities and a social life while trying to maintain some sanity and watching their cash dwindle to nothingness as they splurged on beer and pizza. On the weekends, they even joined their fellow classmates and headed towards the peacefulness of home, the mountains or a friend’s house if only to refuel for another week of the glorious college life. Alas, these 1,385 new faces around campus Finally became familiar ones. Sometiir.es the college life can become quite hectic ami frustrating with exams, papers, deadlines and grades to worry about. To relieve some of this college pressure. Tony Vass takes a moment away from it all to strum a few chords on his guitar. 228 Students Divider STUDENTS Student Divider 229 Freshmen: More than just a number FK KSHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Joan Ken-nedy (secretary), Crissy Holliday (treasurer), Dorothy Dickerson (vice president), Alton Proctor (president).

Turbulent, yet ecstatic. Mystifying, yet desired. Forever feared. Always there, waiting. Waiting to pounce upon our lives, shattering the comfort of our glass houses. For us. the life blood of Radford University, never was the change more volatile, more earth-shattering than it was throughout the year, sneaking up on us disguised as progress. Before we knew it, Whitt Hall was no longer an academic building with classrooms. It was a building full of rubble, debris and wires, the remains of what was, as well as steel girders and fiberglass insulation, a skeletal sketch of what was to be. Riding on the coattails of time, change slowly crept in as we watched barren land and an intricate network of steel and cement blossom into the awesomeness of the Donald N. Dedmon Center. Yet, sometimes change was violent, mysterious, even cruel. Much like the calm before the storm. One day Frank Herzog, director of the student center, was walking down the corri- Play hall!

With so much swirling and whirling about us, how did we ever survive? Well, we managed. For most of us, all of these changes, regardless of whether or not they were for the better, didn’t really matter. All we ever cared about were our own small worlds. And so. we continued cramming for exams, partying ’til dawn starting on Thursdays, watching the days of our lives become young and restless, doing laundry in musty, dusty basements, making new ties with friends and severing old ones. We even made the great escape on weekends in an attempt to just get away from it all as we traveled from Claytor Lake to Florida to the familiar sweetness of home. Amidst all the changes, college life had, indeed, stayed the same. diving some grammatical advice.

Wade Wirt But no matter how much we may choose to ignore it, how much we fight it, the wheels of progress will keep on ploughing through our lives, tormenting and threatening us until we give into its demands. Even now there’s talk of cracking down on writing skills and the GPA requirement for education majors. Meanwhile, students began feeling the frustrating effects of computer technology as they preregistered for fall quarter classes. No matter how distasteful, distraughtful, or even delightful the idea may seem to us, the winds of change are here to stay.
