We've made friends Friends. Without them, life at R.U. would have been boring and mundane. But with those energetic, simple, fun-loving friends, our years here were transformed into something special. Radford students are one of a kind. They exemplify the meaning of the words, southern hospitality, quick to smile and speak when passing. It's so easy to make friends in classes, in extracurricular activities, at the Hide Out, Sackett's. T.J.'s or the Bus Stop. Friends ate the inedible dining hall food with us, soothed our anxiety over a test and shared in our good times as well. They were there when our team won or lost; when we “aced a class or when we didn't; when old relationships crumbled or when new ones blossomed. People are drawn to Radford because of the personal atmosphere. They notice the bond between students, faculty, and administration. Friendliness is a major part of that bond and a major part of our memories of Radford University. We've made friends we'll never forget!! Opening 5 Learning by doing. An education class hones op on ts playing skills in order -o teach others We've made the grade Queries, quizzes, exams and abstracts. Mid-terms, finals, term papers and tests. These challenged R.U. students every quarter, but they excelled with their competitive, academic spirit. Quarters began with a minimum of classroom assignments. The last few weeks were the killers. Students were flooded with work. Term papers were due, cases had to be presented, and dark clouds called finals hung over their heads. McConnell library was a swarm of activity. Students found every nook and cranny to study in. The copy machines were pushed to the limit, and the check-out desk was swamped. Echoing through the stacks of books was the plaintive cry: 111 never finish! On the final day of exams, you could tell they'd done more than just finish. They'd passed with flying colors and were ready for that well-deserved break. Breaking new trail .

Springing out to the sounds of States Radford's annual spring picnic and outdoor concert is the university's way to greet warm weather. Sponsored by Student Life, the outdoor picnic and concert gives students the chance to eat dinner, mingle with friends, and bask in the sun. Students crowded the front lawn of Heth on May 20th to enjoy a fried chicken dinner, the music of States. and the opportunity to flash their Ft. Lauderdale tans The spring carnival and an allcampus skate were two more attractions which enhanced the success of the picnic. Many students tried their luck at various games of skill and chance. Other students took to their wheels and rolled around campus, while other, less motivated individuals seized this lazy day opportunity to sit back, relax, and simply watch. States. a rock and roll band from Virginia Beach was a smash at the picnic. Their lively music and showmanship added an extra touch to the picnic that gave students an additional burst of energy. Warm weather, good food, and great fun were the main attractions of this year's spring picnic and outdoor concert. And to everyone who was fortunate enough to attend, the thrill was everlasting.

They lined up to buy books, to cash checks, and to eat at the dining halls. They formed lines to drop classes and lines to add classes. On May 28. they lined up for the last time. More than 760 graduates, the largest in Radford University's history, stepped forward to receive their diplomas, culminating four years of career planning. John P. Alderman, rector for the board of visitors, warned them, “A college degree isn't the life long meal ticket it used to be. But if you're willing to work, the opportunities are waiting. I promise you that. Unfortunately, no one could promise the 1982 graduates there wouldn't be lines. Tho “kats” m ow. Kit Neory smiles in anticipation ot receiving her diploma. last words.

Graduation 13 Preparing for life at Radford I met a lot of people who have become close friends now. If you don't go to Quest and just come here, you won't know anybody, said freshman Daryl Carr, who attended Quest '82. Quest is a summer orientation program developed for new freshmen and transfer students. This year's program had five two-day sessions which ran from June 20 to June 30 and included 980 students. The program attempts to give students a working knowledge of academics, financial assistance, school policies, and campus facilities. According to comments from students, the program has been a success. “I felt a lot more comfortable coming here. I knew what was going on and I knew a little about what to expect, said freshman Ann Dunlap. Although Quest has become pretty standard, there have been efforts to improve it. Dave Robertson, associate dean of students said, The changes that have been developed the last few years in Quest are changes in the way we train the Quest assistants and faculty advisers. We're doing a much more sophisticated job. I don't think there was anything offered this year that we didn't offer last year. We just did a little bit better. The Quest assistants play a major role in success of the program. The Quest assistants by far have the most contact with students during the day and a half they are on campus. said Robertson. Most freshmen have nothing but praise for the Quest assistants. Everyone was organized They got me prepared to fill out the schedule, helped me if I needed help, and they were patient. I had a good feeling when I left, said Dunlap. But the new students aren't the only ones At first I dreoded coming to Quest, but I'm glad I did. it was interesting and it helped me alot. especially with doss schedules — Jennifer Amos, freshman to benefit from Quest. The assistants enjoyed and learned from the program too. Quest assistant Chris Simmons said. You were introduced to so many people that your interaction with them was so beneficial. It was a worthwhile experience; one that I'll never forget. I enjoyed helping those freshmen coming into Radford. It's a growing program that has the potential to go far. One problem with Quest may be that if s not going far enough They did a good job showing you where everything was but, they didn't do a lot to help you meet more people; like, they had a reception for parents but not for the students, said Car, who thought there should have been more time to interact outside the assigned groups Another student felt too much was crammed into the two days. At the end of the day I was exhausted. I think it was in the scheduling. I'd never done anything like that before. The new computer registration process was introduced to students at Quest '82. Although the process was meant to be more efficient, there were some misgivings. The problems came this fall when freshmen registered for winter quarter. Many freshmen breezed through scheduling at Quest and had few problems arranging their classes. Many students thought winter registration would be just as easy and forgot what they'd teamed at Quest. That created many scheduling problems for some freshmen according to Robertson. The computer registration program had a different meaning for Quest assistant Stephen Jones. He felt the computers limited their help to the students. At one time the assistants walked them through registration, offering the students help when they had difficulties in scheduling. Now we just stcnd around the wall and look, Jones said. I think one thing that we need to do here, without question, is an on-going orientation that picks up in the fall. What we do in the summer, I think, is excellent, but it can only do so much in a day and a holt. There are a lot of things that students encounter after they get here in the fall that we're simply not dealing with, said Robertson. Problems will be found in every program. yet the Quest program is better than what Radford had before, and Quest '82 is better than the first three Quests. Through trial and error, the future Quests will develop. As long as the goals remain to teach the new student more about himself and his environment at Radford, the program will always be worthwhile. 1 J Student Life Giving a helping hand.

Tanning has taken on entirely different proportions since the fur of the century. Plumpish and whitish used to be in vog e. Darker folks represented the working class Now. dark and slim are in. That's no exception at Radford, where legions harvest the rays of the spring sun. The numbers are growing. It's hard to walk on a sunny spring day without stepping on a prospective tanner The sun decks are teemirg Not since the Aztecs has sun-batning been so chic. In the spect-um of light from the sun. there are beams known as ultra-violets. They're the energy source which can toast skin a healthy brown or scald it a fiery red. They're deceotive, especially on a bright, cloudy day. Just because you can’t see the sun doesn't mean the u.v.'s can't get you. They do and many surprised people find themselves in a steady shade of embarrassment. Like any sport or business, tanning has develooed a specialized language of its own. Some popular Dhrases of the vocabulary: 1. Prime time (p.t.) — the hours most com monly reserved for tanning, conventionally between 10 a m. and 2 p.m. 2 Benes - - beneficial rays (most benes from the u.v.'s can be found in p.t.) 3 Sunlamp — a device permitting the hcrdcores (rcbid enthusiasts) to get a “good cne (acceptable tan) in the privacy of their own home A fitting epilogue and slang expression used by those busy students who never have time to tan is “well, okay and say hey to Rcy.

Dr. Ed Jervey kicked-off the 28 hours of dancing with a few opening remarks at 8 p.m. Friday. The 97 sneaker-clad students danced to the sounds of “The After-Six Bend, The Communicators. and K-9? DJ Dav d Lee Michaels. Good Luck posters lined the walls, and food, rest, ana beverage areas were available for the participants. The energetic dancers twisted, jumped, and moved continuously for the 28 hours, except for c ten minute oreak every hour and one two hojr sleep break. During the ten minute brecks, different games and contests helped lift the spirits of the dancers. Referred to as a shod pause for the cause. these breaks consisted of even thing from pie in the eye and hairy legs contests to spoon string and toothpick lifesaver relcys. Punk hour and “country and western hour were two more highlights of the dance marathon. Dr. Steve Ames. Wayne Smith, and Radford's Rowdy Red led exercise demonstrations. Southwestern Virginia's posterchild. Doug Brenn arrived Saturday afternoon to visit with the determined dancers. At midnight Saturday, the 93 surviving dancers concluded their 28 hours of dancing. Thank yous were announced and Tom Jervey was awarded a trip to Florida for raising $290 for the Muscular Dystrcphy Association.

May 8. It was unbelievable. At moments it was like watching an orchestra at work, with conductor Elliott Bender hepping around, pointing, shouting. Everyone working bananas, come up to this end! and Peel, don't eat! Sometimes it was more like the back kitchen of an Italian pizza parlor, except instead of Hold the pepperoni there were cries of “Slice, slice, peel! Hey. you guys, spread that ice cream and syrup out some, will ya? Within ten minutes of the start signal, the monster frozen confection wes complete, all ingredients pilec into 175-feet of tin guttering. One more signal from Bender — Dig in! — and aporoximately 100 ice cream lovers devoured the glorious creator inside of 15 minutes No one thought twice about eating out of the same dish as 99 ether folks because there it was. all 30 gallons of ce cream and 40 pounds of Dig In.

They've got whipped cream and nuts and cherries and I wanna know where you pay! , said one lady. With the help of third floor Moffett and the members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, plus generous donations from local merchants. ice cream maestro Bender organized the massive pig out to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Pledges were faken for each foot of banana split built, and each pe'son gave a minimum donation of one dollar for a plastic spoon and all the ice cream he or she cculd gobble down. There were chocolcte syajp smeared faces and sticky Izods galore when everyone finisned. even c pet duck who waded through, the river of melted ice cream.

Radford Theater Department Chairman Jarhes Hawes has d rected Virginia's only outdoor historical d'cma, The Long Way Home. which completed its 12th season in Radford Sept. 5. The play re-lives 18th-century pioneer Ma'y Draoer ’ngles'journey from Kentucky to southwest Virginia to warn settlers in Drapers Meadows of an Indian attack. Ingles and her two children were captured by the Shawnee Indians in a massacre at the Radford settlement in 1755. During her four-month captivity, she was separated from her children and beaten into servitude While the Shawnees were traveling through the salt springs at Big Bone Lick in Kentucky. Ingles overheard them planning another, more devastating attack on the southwest Virginia settlements. Fleeing her captors on foot. Ingles struggled through the dense, cold forest, dragging herself, from fatigue, along the banks of the rivers leading back to Virginia in order to warn the settlers. In his production Hawes has been able to utilize an inherited atmosphere. The theatre, located next to Ingleside. the ancestral home of the original settlers, is only a few feet from where Mary Ingles is buried Mary Lewis Ingles Jeffries, who lives at Ingleside, has played her great-great-great-great grandmother Elenor Draper, mother of Mary Ingles, for the 12 seasons the show has run. During a performance two years ago, Jeffries recalls that the spirit of one of her pioneer relatives appeared in the form of “a floating hand which landed lightly on my shoulder but didn't frighten me. On the contrary, she said, I felt very peaceful. It was a warm hand, and it made me feel very close to the entire Ingles family. Elizabeth Lemmon, who played Mary Ingles this season, said she also felt an un-explainable presence at the amphitheatre Sometimes, when I'm alone onstage, I somehow know Mary Ingles is around and watching, and I feel good because I know she must approve. Ingles was a uniquely demanding role for Lemmon, a senior art major at Radford. She cppeared on stage from the first line until the very end of the play. To create the mood for Ingles' long, agonizing journey. Hawes utilized surrealistic scenes and images throughout the play. Blacklights fiasned and deathly dancers contorted around Ingles as her movements slowed to a crawl ’he play has become a community effort; many local businesses donate to the project. By the end of the season you really get the feeling of a long run. Everyone's formed fast friendships or fast animosities as the case may be. Hawes said lightheartedly. but it's a lot of fun that way. He noted that interest has revived in Mary Draper Ingles across the nation since the release of James Alexander Thom's novel Fol'ow tne River early last year Hawes attrioutes the increasea touris audience this pasf summer to Tnom's novel, based on The Long Way Home. When the season ended. Hawes returned to chairmanship duties in the RU thectre deportment ir addition to teaching. directing and acting on ccmpus. In October, he played the lead role in tne R.U. Theatre production of Neel Coward. Theatre is theatre, whether indoor or outdoor, commercial or college. Broadway or Radford. he said.

According to Dr Ed Gibbon, registrar, the change had oeen olanned for nearly two years. He also said student and faculty reaction has been good. Gibbon says the computer system nas many advantages over the old arena” system. It allows for better management, advising and scheduling, and it allows the registrar's office to compi e information from the computer that wed previously done by hand. Laura Robertson, a senior math stat major. says she likes the system better because it means less standing in lines. David Patrick, a finance major, said he thought the system is better than what he nad experienced at Virginia Tech because he was able to force-add impor- tant classes. He added that the terminal operators helped to make the system work because they had been so helpful. Several students who said computer registration wasn't whet they expected offered suggestions on how to improve it. Robertson suggested a system of priority so students can register for classes required in their mejor. Gibbon, however, said no such system is planned because who woud determine who should have prior.ty. Shari Bumstein sugges’ed that students be allowed to reserve sequence classes. Although some changes have been proposed, and they are trying to improve the system, the present budget won't allow for many changes. But, Gibbon added, hopefully as the need chenges we can change with it. Although there ore still a few kinks to be worked out. most students agree they like the rev , computer registration system better than the former one. Be ng o student and a mother is tough at times, but it's especially hard to do both dun ng the otd registre tion system. 24 Student Life Standing in lines was one of the most frequent complaints heard during the old system of registration The system was last used spring qixarter. and students prove that standing in line (top) outside and (bottom) inside Peters Hall wcs both time-consuming and tiresome. Computer Registration 25 Lines, rentals, noise and heat Crowds, noise, neat, refngerctor rentals, phone hook-up, regis ration. tuiton payment, and lines. These were just a few of the hassles that faced students the first week of school. Stereos blasted a variety of music, elevators were tied up fo hours, traffic was backed up, and parking lots were full. Everyone rushed around in what appeared to be organized chaos. Parents end students toured the camous carying senod ules of events with information concerning when and where everything was to take place. It was one deadline after another. Amidst the chaos were the organized efforts of the residential life staff. Resident directors and resident assistants checked students into their dorms and supervised the overall moving-in process. Thanks to staff members and various student organizations, several relaxing and exciting events relieved the back-to-school pressures. Among those events were movies, an all-campus skate, an outdoor picnic and concert, and Circle K's first dance of the year. Camous life was beck in full swmg! Moving In, again.

Tor the 1982 homecoming, warm summer weather set fhe scene for alumni to return, visit with old friends, share oast memories, and view the changes and progess thct Radford University has exoerienced The return to Radford was emotional for some who hadn't visited the campus in years. Gladys Osbourne Adema. 1932 graduate, was awed by the transformation which had taken place since her stay here 50 years ago Laurie Sledd, 1977 graduate, commented that she was glad to be back and was very impressed with the Dedmon Center. Her only regret was she wishec the Center had been in existence while she was attending Radford. An estimated 600 alumni, ranging from tne class of 1917 to 1981 attended Homecoming Jenny Doud, director of aljmn affairs, helped present c weekend fjl! of events which students, faculty, and al jmn; were able to enjoy. The weekend began with the alumni-student art exhibit followed by a golaen reunion dinner' for the graduating clcss of 1932. Ano he' feature was Alan Funt. host of Candid Came'a, who presented film clips and a tclk about his famojs television show. Saturday was busy with the Alumni Gar dens' Reception, a reunion for the class of 1917 through 1977, an alumni concert, and the alumni awards and reunion luncheon. The Outstonding Alumnus Award was presented to Myrtle Pleune o' Rochester, New York, for her exceptional support o' the university. The Oustcndmg Service Award was presented to Elma Dowdy of Fells Church, Virginia. This award is given annually to an alumnus who has contributed tc the community through his or her profession. Other events included the men's and women's soccer games, women's vo ley-ball game, and the alumni versus student all-star football game, which students won 51 6.

Although these differences set them apart, their experience at Radford University is unique and particular to them. Most college students are single. What about the married student? Debbie Maxwell, senior English major with a journalism minor, mcrried in April. 1982 and has a baby aaughter. Even so. Maxwell graduated in four years, spring 1983 with just enough credits. She attended the two sessions of summer school in 1982 and then skipped fall quarter. Maxwell said that one of the proolems she faced was “not having enough time to get homewo'k done. After getting home to Max Meadows, in the late afternoon and doing the housework and taking care of her daugnter, she was finished at about 9 00 p.m By then, you're so tired, you don't feel like doing homework. Mcxwe'.l was determined to graduate even with her added responsibilities. “Before I got married, everyone said, You'll quit school, it's all over.' But I had to prove to them that I still hcve a life even though I'm manied. There is another student at Radford University who is different from many of us You might have seen him walking slowly about with briefcase in hand. He is 73-yea'-old Anthony P Werrell. father of Kenneth P. We'rell who is associate professor of history. The senior Werrell takes two cou'ses a quarter, one for credit and one on audit He started taking courses at Radford University in 1977 after 'etiong from his position of deputy cnief of police in Irvington, New Jersey When cskea what degree he was working :oward, Werrell replied, “at one time I figured i could put all my credits together and go for a degree. Chuckling. Werrell stated that the only problem he had with attending Radford University was the state pays for his education but not for his books. He said that the people a: Radford are more outgoing People say hello more than they do up North. Werrell said that people are surprised that he attends college. People think, what is tne motivation?' You have to have a certain motivation tc study. Chance Crawford, a f'eshman from Salem. has a different situa ion from mos‘ other students.

Coward was an early Twentieth Centu7 British playwright who wrote mostly “drawing room comedies, stuffy but hilarious humor about the British and American aristocratic class. He was also a songwriter, actor and director, and he was good in each role. He was a witty, cheerful man who always had something ciever to say in his work and in conversation. Between scenes from the plays, the six members of the company related some of these typically Coward sayings, as well as same facts cbout Noel Coward himself. All the parts and narration were read, and the cast was seated throughout the performance. They also sang some of his songs, like “Mad Dogs and Englishmen and “I Wonder What Happened to Him, and Twentieth Century Blues. to which Shelia Clark lent her strong, bluesy voice In an especially funny number, “Maude.

Halloween 43 Real wild cats It was like going back in time 20 years, when the first wave of Rockabilly rumbled through the states. Elvis was King and James Dean was a legend. The real rockers wore big, baggy suits and hoop skirts to bop away the nights. That night, I knew how my parents felt when they were my age. Everyone was playing the part, wearing greasy, spikey, slick-backed hair, leather, and tom. baggy shirts. The real rockers were back in style. Packed into Preston Auditorium, the crowd anxiously awaited the arrival of three real wild cats. Lights dimmed, cigarettes stubbed out. There they were with great, greasy pompadours, looking like they just slid out the back seat of a '57 Chevy. Three cats on the prowl. And with that cat-like prowlness. they moved across stage to their instruments. Brian Setzer to the old, yellow guitar; Jim McDonnell to a bare-bones drum kit, and Lee Drucker to the stand-up bass. The worn instruments came to life in their hands, rocking hillbilly blues. Similarly, the audience came to life under the spell of the Stray Cats tunes. They danced, twitching and twirling through the aisles, only to be guided back to their seats by security. Still, they moved to the booming sound, feeding off the band's permeating energy. Lady cats howled, tom cats growled. The town of Rodford was rocking. Rockabilly never died, we just forgot it for awhile. But now. it was back, reminding the new generation of the music's still-marvelous possibilities. 44 Studert Life Stray cat strut.

No, one doesn't concoct a very la'ge and strange casserole. What one does is feed it to the students at Radford University because that's how much of these foods on-campus student ate each week. This list shows wha a big task the cafeteria cooks had before them each day. Since they had that much food to deal with, cne would think the meals would've been extremely overcooked, tasteless, boring, end unexciting. But de-sp fe the usua jokes batted around about the inedibility of cafeteria meals, on-campus students noticed a difference in the food. !t was better than ever before. Mystery meat. that roundish, brownish, chewy, very flat substance of the past. had become extinct. Vegetables no longer had the life cooked out of them; the broccoli was always crisp, the asparagus fresh. Portions seemed a bit larger too. The salad bars rivaled those at Wendy's. Pizza Inn, and Bonanza, with goodies like ripe olives, mushrooms, bacon bits, croutons, com relish, three-becn sa'ad, ootato salad, cole slaw.

These graced the stage o' Prestcn Auditorium when the Radford University Dance Theatre, in conjunction with the Roanoke Ballet Comccny. presented the classic ballet of sugar plums and Christmas magic Tne Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is the traditional Christmas ballet. Clara, a young girl, is given a nutcracker frcrr a strange one-eyed man named Drosselmeyer. I 's with this gift that the mcgic of Christmas begins. Toy soldiers battle a battalion of mice, and to save the nutcracker doll from death, Clare distracts the King of the Mice by hitting him on the head with her shoe. After all this, the nutcrocker doll leads Clara to the Snow Kingdom where she watches whirling snowflakes and the Snow King and Queen perform a pas de deux. Clara, in Act II. is transported to the Kingdom of the Sweets where she's warmly greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy. The audience. like Clara, was enchanted by the performances of the spinning Mirlitons in sky-blue costumes, the sensuous Arabian dancers and the exuberance of Alan Arnett as he performed the dance of the Russian Trepak. The stage was a rainbow of briilant colors during the finale when the entire cast gathered to bid farewell to Ciara Clara s parents found tneir daughter slumbe'ing underneath the Christmas tree, me nutcracker doll in he' arms.

Thousands of people died in El Salvador's civil war, and after the Falkland Islands were seized April 2 by Argentine trcops, Britain had to fight for colonial territory she had planned to make independent anyway. About 1,000 people died in what the press described as a jolly little war. After seven years of violent civil wars, the civilians of Lebanon, a country slightly smaller than Connecticut, weren't pre-pared for the bloody summer of '82. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered troops to attack residential areas that were havens to PLO guerrillas. In exchange for an Israeli cease-fire on civilians in Lebanon, the United States negotiated the re-settlement of the Pales-tenian Liberation Organization to other Arab countries. But in September, Israeli trocps once again occupied Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. The troops turned their heads as anti-PLO Christian Phalangists slaughtered hundreds of men, women and children in refugee camps. In the Middle East, over 100,000 people were injured or killed in the war between Iraq and Iran. Meanwhile, 900 miles to the east in Afghanistan, tribal guerrillas resisted Soviet troops. Grief struck other parts of the world also In Poland, the outlaw union Solidarity fought a losing battle against government repression. The Royal Family of Monoco grieved after losing Princess Grace. Americans mourned after the deaths of Bess Truman. Henry Fonda. John Belushi. Ingrid Bergman and the seven victims of cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. As the Reagan administration ran up the highest federal deficit in U.S. history. 11.5 million Americans looked for jobs. After layoffs, plant closings and bankruptcies, many families took to the roads looking for work. Some found jobs, but many others didn't. Even during rough economic times, Americans found time for entertainment. Video games continued to flourish, along with the rise of cable television and home computers. At the movies, Americans turned on their headlights, and opened their wallets, for Steven Spielberg's instant children's classic, E.T.

Taking on the challenge of explaining why so much has been going wrong for so long, Liddy exemplified this statement in his opinion that the vast majority of American people live lives of illusion. Employing humor end euphemisms, Liddy criticized the American view of life by comparing this illusion to the reality of life in the Soviet Union. G. Gordon Liddy has held such diverse political positions as; Special Agent for the FBI. Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, and Staff Assis tant to the President in the Nixon Administration where he assisted in the special investigative unit known publicly as the Plumbers.

Staffed by Applehans, ar.d Capt Bill van Deusen and begun in 1978, Radford's ROTC is a training program for students who plan to go into the Army after graduation. Students who finish the program are commissioned the day prior to graduation as second lieutenants and serve at least three years. Radford's ROTC is growing and currently has about 100 students enrolled. Applehans said he expects the number to increase over the next three or four years to about 150 to 200 students. Students in any major are eligible for ROTC and Radford had students from nearly every depalment participate. Applehans said the predominant, but by no means dominant majors, are criminal justice and political science. All departments allow military science classes to count as electives toward degrees. One hundred and 200 level courses in military science are open to students in any major whether or not they plan to join the army. One hundred level classes involve primarily civics classes because, according to Applehans. most people don't understand how the army operates a country or how it fits into the U.S. Government. First year classes also include a study of mili-ta y history and an outline of the support groups needed in military operations. Second year classes cover leadership and motivational techniques much like other management courses, as well as first aid and land navigational skills. The last two years of ROTC are different beccuse students must make a commitment to the army for at least three years following graduation in order to enroll in these classes. Third year courses include such things as detciled map reading, communications, combat tactics and forms of maneuvers from an officer's perspective. Juniors also begin comprehensive field training exercises. Students attend ROTC summer camp between their junior end senior year. Senior level classes move into the details of public service management, ethics, the military justice system and methods of instruction Students plan, prepare and conduct field training and leadership classes for the lower level students. Seniors also participate in transition training to learn what they'll be responsible for as second lieutenants. Tecching tomorrow's leaders. said Applehans. is an awesome responsibility.

ROTC 59 Trying to make ends meet The student employment program at Radfora provides financial cid to students in exchange for services arourd campus. Presently, there are about 843 students In the program. Including resident assis tants ard graduate students. According o Jackie Hydro, assistant director of financial aid, abojt one half are on work study, a federally fjndea program which provides cbout 80 percent of their salaries. The remaining students are on work scholarships. a state supported program. Jackie said, Students work at about 65 sites around campus like the radio station, the Dedrron Center, the post office, and food services. The dining halls, which em- ploy freshmen only, and the library, employ the most students. Students are assigned jobs according to a need basis first. “Students may request positions but certain skills may determine who's to be placed where. Occasionally, supervisors request that students return to previously held jobs, like in the labs, and the seniority system does apply, Jackie said. Most students feel work study doesn't hinder their studying time. Malinda Cook, a junior, said working doesn't get in the v ay and it may even help. Anita Pruitt, who worked as a proctor, said it allowed her more time for studying. According to Jackie Hydro, students don't have to maintain a certain GPA, but they can't be on academic prooation. Work study has some advantages. Malinda, who works in the circulation department of the library, says the program helped her adjust to living on campus by making it easier to meet people. Most work study students work about 10 hours per week. The only draw back wih the program, according to Jcckie, s thcr some students get discouraged early and want to quit. But for those who stick with the program, these work Study positions area valuable means for students to earn money while attending Radford 60 Jobs Wo Study 61 Dreams come true for lucky students Imagine his • - a fugged and lush Leeward islcnd in the West Indies with steep, thickly forested mountains full of streoms end wcterfalls; deep valleys; and beaches with dark, volcanic sands. The average temperature is 78. You look windward and notice the frosty white line of foam along the beech. Breadfruit, mangoes, ocnanas, citrus fruits, and a variety of edible roots grow in abundance. Sitting on the powder, black beach, you watch the cumulus clouds over the mountains and experience tne Emerald Isle of the Caribbean. This dream did come true for seven lucky geog-aphy students when they went tc Montserrat during the second summer session last year. Under the guidance of Dr. Michael Doran, the students did field research on all aspects of the island, including such topics as land-use mapping, social geography, and the geomorphology of Montserrat. The students were required to write a series of small papers and one final 25-30 page paper on their topics. Dr Doran stressed the importance for the students to learn on their own. He sent them into the field, watched their minds and imaginations expand, and was mere than happy to answe- their questions. “It's tough to get students to ask questions in a classroom situation, but Montserrat was a 24-hour learning experience. Their curiosi- ties were sparked, Doran said. Steve Youngs, a senior majoring in ge ography, recalled the excitement of seeing the rainfall encounter The side of the moun'ain. “We actually had the process of rainfall taught to us while it happened naturally. It's much more effective that way rather than learning it from a book. Steve wants to return to Montserrat. He found it “a paradise untouched by tourism. There’s no stress, no pollution, ro crime, no poverty. It's mellow end timeless. Dr. Dorcn is also plcnning to go back someday He recommended Montserrat to everyone. He added.

Many students find themselves trapped in the turmoil of. I can't get a job without experience and I can't get experience without a job. But journalism, speech and telecommunications majors have discovered ways to gam experience here at Radford working on one or several of the University's media. These students have access to career related activities such as: The Tartan, the University's newspaper; the Beehive, the University's yearbook; and WVRU, the on-campus radio station While some of the positions are filled according to skill, most students wanting experience are able to find a position. Working on the University's print and broadcast media has several advantages other than the attainment of valuable experience. According to senior Brenda Saunders, it provides the student headstart with the opportunity to put into practice the skills you've learned Most students 'ee. the training is important oecause the individual can earn through practice and active involvement in a low-pressure environment. Still, some students choose not to take advantage of this experience due to the amount of time involved in working on the publications. But for those who have mastered the art of time management, the experience is well worth the time put into it. Although experience and application of lecmed skills are two very important reasons for working on the campus media, personal enjoyment is the reason given most by students.

Most students in the general science classes were there for one reason, because they needed 12 hours of a science to fulfill their general education reauire-ments. So finding a tomcat's spleen, locating the highest point on a map. determining the fulcrum of a lever, and finding the atomic weight of one atom of Einsteinium were mini-ordeals for general science students. But if by chance kitty hearts, gypsum, gravity or Bunsen burners interested the student, he had it made. Partner .

The program, which presently has an enrollment of over 300, will graduate approximately 40 seniors this year. According to Susan Donckers, instructor in the nursing department, enrollment is growing every year. This year she expects over 100 sophomores to apply for 70 openings in the upper level nursing program. Students are presently accepted according to their overall grade point average which must be at least 2.5. Donckers said because of the growing number of applications, eventually there will be additional requirements beyond the grade point average. Donckers also said more and more men are entering the nursing program at Radford. While there are no men at the junior level of the program this year, there are two seniors in the program and more in the in white lower level classes. Donckers said they are really looking for a lot more males to join the program. Many people have the impression that the nursing program is difficult and many nursing students agree but most think the extra work is worth it. Anatomy and microbiology were most often mentioned as the toughest classes. The lab and clinical portion of the program, according to both students and instructors, is the most interesting and beneficial to the students. Students work in area hospitals to gain practical experience in many areas. Students in the program do not specialize in a particular area, but are introduced to many different aspects of nursing According to Donckers. We try to graduate a generalist who knows about all aspects of nursing, from infants to the elderly. 68 Academics Th© nursng doponmont is tough, but most students think the extra wortc is worth it.

Both the concert bora and the jazz ensemble gives one concert per quarter They pep us up during basketball games, welcome cur folks to parents weekend and help us unwind after classes. These are just a few of the functions of the student bends. Divided into three groups, each band serves a different musical need. While the pep band builds spirit end motivates the players, the jazz ensemble and concert band perform cultural concerts. Two students who play in all three bands explain the difference between the two bends and which ones they prefer. Peter Spencer, a sophomore, said, I definitely like the concert band. I feel like it fits my personality. Its more relaxed. Jazz can be relaxed sometimes but you put more feeling into concert band. Elizabeth Hill, a freshman computer science major said. 'The jazz band is a smaller band, so I know everybody and I like the jazzy music. The bands, which total about 65 students with a few performing in all three, practice five hours a week to prepare for their performances The jazz ensemble and concert band each gives one concert per Quarter. The music ranges from the sounds of the 20th century big bands to broadway hits. In addition to the excitement of performing, the students may receive work scholarships of up to 600 hundred dollars, and the Scottish format of the University band often leads to invitations to other cities. The students have traveled to Miami, Philadelphia and Detroit to march in parades. Unfortunately, all these benefits are rot incentive enough for many musically-talented students on campus. The enrollment was down this year, according to Dr. Bennet Lentczner. It's like a roller coaster. it comes end goes. This year enrollment is down. More and more in the last couple of years, students have the misconception that they have to be music majors. Usually the band is made up of 50% non-music majors, said Dr. Lentczner. Whether they're music majors or not. everyone said they enjoyed participating in the band. Spencer said. It's fun. I enjoy it a lot and I wish we'd play more. That would make me happier. Dr. Lentczner adds, It's an awful lot of cneself that one puts into the band. It becomes a part of you. 70 Academics Bona 71 The Radford University Highlander Band Blood, sweat and tears There was a general consensus among students mcjoring in home economics, or journalism, or Latin, or geology, or anything for that matter, that wasn't physical education. The consensus: Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and mandatory PE. Among some, the two former certainties were much preferable to the latter — phys. ed. was a force to be reckoned with. A student needed at least three hours of PE to graduate from Radford. Therein lay the rub. Each class carried with it only one hour of credit, which meant that no less than three classes had to be taken — endured — toughed out. even At least the selection was gcod; there was volleyball, tennis, trampoline, stunts and tumbling, bowling, conditioning (for the truly brave) and swimming, to name a few. Upon selection. the question always arose. ‘In which of these sports will I make the least spectacle of myself'5 Then the student bravely scribbled karate on his registration form thinking. “How tough can a sport be for one which wears pajamas? Without a doubt, the funniest days of physical education, for the observer anyway. was the first class day. This was the day that separated the men from the boys; the healthy Midwest-type farm girls from the hair-sprayed, lacquer-clawed powder puffs. It was on this day innocent passersby saw whole swimming pools disappear with one swift and clutzy belly flop of a lily-white girl in a size 16 maillot. It was on this day that the bluest-eyed, most petite co-ed got clipped in the back of the head with a softball fresh from the bat of the biggest moose in class. It was on this day that those playing Pac-Man in the recreation room could often see bowling balls barreling toward their toes with the ferocity of a wild boar in heat. (There was invariably someone who picked up the bowling ball and asked in all seriousness, “Are these holes for my fingers? ) Yes. this was the day, too, when bodies were carried en masse from the stunts and tumbling room in balls, as if the students had returned to the fetal position (Usually it was a sudden cramp or crick in the neck brought on by a somersault.) Of course, from this point on things were d.-fferent. Cnee the basics were learned — once the students learned what the holes in the bowling ball were for and how to pull off a backward roll without bodily injury well, there was no turning back. It was blood they were after then Certain violent outbursts flowed from within the Dedmon Center, from tennis courts and Peters Hall: “Flip him — NOW! (from karate class, where by this time someone had figured out what the pajamas were for.) “Set it up. mousebrain! (Volleyball, or possibly basketball.) “Faster! You run like a bag lady! (Conditioning class, a very cruel and unusual form of punishment.) Then there were those who waltzed into class, confident from the outset. They had moves like “Dr. J. They spiked in volleyball like a Russian bear girl. They ran as effortlessly as maple syrup. They came out of a stunts and tumbling routine looking like Nadia Comenici at the top of her form. They were the phys. ed. majors, and everyone looked at them with true and abiding hate in their eyes. The consensus: These show-offs must die. (Death is. after all. one thing that is certain.) 72 Acode-nics Only three ttvngs ere certain: death, taxes and mandatory PE classes R.U requires each student to complete at least throe hours of physical education classes before graduating. so students trod to select sports they would make the least spectacles out of themselves in.

To those who didn't study and thus flunked ... forget it! Those folks aren't around anymore, anyway. It was not only interesting how students studied, but where. Where did R.U. students study? Anywherel In the dorms and in the cafeterias. In their apartments and in the Highland Room. On the rooftop of Muse and under the trees. (Recall, if you will, that it's students studying under the trees who are pictured in all the campus brochures. So, if you want to see yourself in next year's college catalog, go study under a tree.) But there was one place that was the quietest spot on campus, where you could actually smell learning (it smells like very old, musty books); where the air was so thick with the acquisition of knowledge you could almost chop through it with a paper cutter or copy it on the Xerox machine. Not everyone could study in this place, though. It was reserved for those with membership characteristics: puckered brows, eyes red from serious and protracted reeding, writer's cramp and finger blisters due to excessive writing To get through the doors leading to this haven, you had to prove yourself a 'Serious Student of the University World.' (Rumors abound that soon a little window will be cut out of the door into which a secret password must be uttered to gain cccep tance; perhaps E = me or the existentialists poets or something similcrly obtuse.) The secret place is, of course, the third floor of McConnell Library. A word of caution: If you're not one of THEM, den't fry to get admitted in. Their looks could kill you. Small the learning.

And losing was something the lacrosse team did a lot of in the 1982 season. But the teem was up against some heavy odds. First, the team competed against four nationally-ranked schools: Salisbury State, Roanoke College. Hampden Sydney and Guilford. The Highlanders had only been a team for a few years. The team was made up largely of freshmen erd sophomores; it lacked experience. Team spirit, too. wasn't all it should've been, according to the team's members. It was hard to have a positive attitude with such obstacles to overcome. In spite of all this, though, showmanship picked up in the -ames Madison game, which Rcdford won in the final quarter after a tied third quarter. Coach Woolley saw more character and unity playing Mcdison than during any other game. But the highlight o‘ the entire season, according to Woolley, was the game with Roanoke College This was the Highlanders' best game, even though it ended in a 17-5 loss for them. Although the team had its troubles, its members showed a tot of individual skill. Sophomore Richard Smith wds a key contributor to the team. and was rewarded for his efforts by being voted Most Valuable Player John Payne was the high score' of the season. John Anderson was given the Most Valuable Defensive Player Award, and Ricky Pack received the award for Most imp'oved Player The Highlanders' record stood at two wins. 11 losses at the end of the season, out the team felt close-knit and was viewed with more respect by the school ana by other soorts. And with major recruits coming in and many of the players returning, hope was high that next year's season would prove to be very rewording.

Patricia has had her bike since the second week of school and uses it to go to class and to have fun Ore of the most unusual bikes on ccm-pus is a two-seater owned by Tony Low-man. Tony, a senior history major, said he's had the bike about a year and uses it to get around as well as get exercise since he doesn't jcg. Tony says he can get to any destination faster and sees a lot more scenery with his bike. The guys on campus tease him, but Tony says the girls maxe up for it by screaming at him to give them ndes, so he tries to accommodate as many as possible. Tony bought the b ke at a yard sale for $25. which he considers a rea bargain. He's owned a two-seater for the past five years. The negative aspect of his bike is that the police harassed him for not having lights. His roommate almost got arrested so Tony installed lights and reflectors on it. He also put fat tires on the bike so he could continue to jump curbs, which he does quite often. Of all the bikes on campus, none is as well known as Billy von Teel's. Billy, a junior geology major, says he's owned his bike for two years and uses it as his workout. Billy, along with his girlfriend Helen Merjos. can be seen riding down the campus sidewalk on his one-seater together. The quality which makes them unique is that Helen rides gallantly on his handlebars. Billy admits it makes people look at them a second time. He contributes the highlight of his bike days to the beginning of the year when their picture appeared in the morning edition of the Rocnoke Times newspaper.

First year coach Laurie Morris inherited a second year varsity team with a roster full of relatively inexperienced players against a stacked schedule. The result was a 1-11 record that perhaps overshadowed a number of outstanding individiual performances. We had a young team and we played a number of Division I schools, said Morris. Between a tough schedule and a young team we had our troubles. The brightest part of the season was the play of senior Cindy Breeze Midkiff who scored two of the teams three goals including the game winner cgainst Mary Washington College. On the defensive end, the Lady Highlanders saw some incredible play from goalie Annette Beadle. The freshman who had never played field hockey before stepped into the nets as a starter and averaged nearly 25 saves per game. Coach Morris is optimistic of the future of the team despite the losing season in their first year as members of the NCAA.

It was, in many ways, a year of mixtures. First there was the team's variety of experience. The men had one senior, no juniors, one sophomore and nine freshmen, while the women had three freshmen, no sophomores, two juniors and only one senior. Coach Tyler Will attributed the team's high degree of improvement to its overall low degree of experience ‘I'd say the one major strength of the whole team ' Coach Will said, “was in how much they improved over the season. That's what I'll remember most about this team. And if those same people come beck next year, they'll improve even more. They're hard workers. Will added that high morale, a good attitude and spolsmanship were some other strengths of both the men's and women's teams. The men's team ended the season with a second-piece title in the number two and number three meets of the state division at Washington and Lee University. They competed egainst 10 other teams in those meets. They also came in third out of 15 teams at West Geo'gia College in Cardson, Georgia Will said his team wesn't the third-best team there, though: “We were the second-best team. We should've qualified for nationals, but we didn't. (Only the two top teams from the Geo'gia meet were allowed to go to nationals) This. Will said, was the major disappointment of the season for his team. But one team member. Donny Tickle, did qualify for nationals, and Will is proud of that. The v omen surprised everyone, ncluding their coach, by finishing fourth in regionals out of 14 teams at the Division II NCAA meet at West Georgia College. on the same day the men failed to qualify. “The girls had three really good runners. Will said, “but as a team I didn't think they had it in tnem to finish fourth. I was pleasantly surprised. One disappointing note for both the cross country team and Radford University: none of the meets the team palicipated in were at home. 1982 Cross Country: (Front Row) Elizabeth Adams, Marsha Gingerly.

This included nationally ranked Division I opponents such as the University of Virginia and George Mason University. Although the defending state champs finished with just a 4-12 -ecord. the team came on strong late in the season with victories over Washington Lee. Christopher Newport, and Virginia Tech. We were young and we knew that by being young, we would make mistakes. Lillard said. But out of all the teams in the race for the state playoffs, we had a good game against them all. We lost many of our games by one goal and that's the kind of thing that doesn't show up in a won-loss record. The Highlanders were led by senior midfielder Randy Jones, who was named to the NCAA's second team All-South squad. Jones scored seven goals this season, extending his all-time scoring record to 27 goals. As a junior, Jones also set the single season scoring mark with 10 goals. At the end of the season, Jones was voted Most Valuable player of the team. Other awards went to freshman Joe Montcgne for best forward, sophomore back Greg McCarthy for best defensive player, midfielder Billy Gerber for best freshman and sophomore Kevin Greene for most improved player. Jorge Pasquel of Quito. Ecuador received Lillard's Coaches Choice award. Even though the record didn't show it. we've got some good players. Lillard noted.

This year's team nas three freshmen, three sophomores, three jjniors and one senior. The variety of experience a’lows them to work well together because those with more experience can help those with less. Since the beginning of the season, the teem performed consistently at each meet. Pulling together individual talent with dedicated team work, the teem exercised grace, perfection and control with every turn of the beam, flip on the floor and twist on the uneven parallel bars. And the dedication payed off. The team finished second in the Al AW Regionals egainst tough competition like; Winchester State. East Stroudsburg, Longwood College, and Slippery Rock, the country's number five-ranked gymnastic team. Junior Maureen Flynn qualified as an individual all-rounder to represent Radford at the AIAW Nationals in Davis.

Last year, the Lcdy Highlanders grabbed the AIAW Region II, Division II title, took first place in the VAIAW State competition and finished the season ranking seventh in the nation.

Radford University has considered tnese and they've assembled many of the states' finest coaches o recruit players that represent R.l. character-wise, athletic-wise and academic-wise. Ranging from soccer, cross country and field hockey in the fail to basketball, gymnastics end volleyball in the winter to tennis and lacrosse in the spring. Radford athletics have been a success Behind that success is the mind of the team — the coach. He or she is responsible for being both teacher and friend to the student athlete, said men's basketball coach. Joe Davis. In addition to recruiting and coaching, it's the coaches job to guide and educate to the fullest extent. Women's basketball coach Pat Barrett said the coach must be both a teacher, a parent and to some extent, their best friend and confidante With the job comes lots of hard work, noted the gymnastics coach ond mentor. Martin Huckabee. Huckabee led his lady Highlanders to the nationals last year in Denver, and going into this yeers' regional tournament. His team had a 14-4 record. The season is so long, lasting from September to March, and it's hard to keep up the initial excitement of the sport. Patience and encouragement from the coach are important factors Huckabee also noted the hard work that a coach and his team put forth. It takes a long time to learn these skills. The athlete doesn't start using Ihese skills until December, February or March It's a matter of working on what challenges the coach ora the player,'' he said. Coach Barrett spoke of her team peaking at just the right time: Tne season is long ana it's important that the coach works it so the team is peaking at tournament time. Most of the coaches have years of experience, with the exception of Laurie Morris, the women's field hockey coach Morris took the job after graduating in May. and has already begun structuring a winner, but it takes time. Morris, who was captcin of the team last year during her senior year, said, It's a transition from playing with the team to being on the other side of the fence coaching. It's sort of a frustrating experience Along with the hard work come moments the coach will treasure a lifetime. “My greatest experiences as a coach is when I'm able to instill in a gymnast the confidence to use their skills, said Coach Huckabee, adding, “that's the reason we're here—to help the athlete learn and apply the skills. Coach Davis' most memorable experiences as a coach were the win over George Mason at their homecoming two years ago and the win over UDC last year. He said he'll also remember the crowd that attended the first basketball game in the Dedmon Center. “Seeing the number of people that attended that first game against Pembroke State was most satisfying. Another satisfying experience came for Coach Morris when her young team scored their first goal, and later, their first v in. They saw they could score, then found out they could win. said Morris. Coach Barrett remembered her first state championship in Williamsburg in 1980 over VCU and the espirt de corps attitude her team had then. “As Benjamin Fronklin said, v e must all hang together assuredly or we will all hang together separately.' said the coach. Under the direction of these end other coaches, the teams do hang together, and together they've made up many of the fine sports teams in the state. Much of the credit goes to each team’s hardworking and dedicated coach.

We're a much better team than our record would indicate,''said ccach Joe Davisofterthefinal game in the see-saw season. It's been a good season and the guys have shown a great attitude. The Highlanders rallied together, battling tough odds all year long. Without a conference affiliation, the move to NCAA Division II play narrowed Radford's chances of getting a tournament bid. To compound problems, the Highlanders faced their tojghest schedule ever, meeting four Division I schools, two nationally ranked Division II teams and a host of other quality teams. Davis and his assistant coaches, Danny Roberts and newcomer Don Carter, had assembled a talented if inexperienced crew and the Highlanders took their lumps early on In four close games to open the season. Radford came out on the short end of the score each time. The 0-4 start was the slowest in Radford history Yet things began to mesh for the young Highlanders. Against Richmond. Radford played the Division I Spiders to the wire before falling 68-6'. That game seemed to set the tempo for the rest of the season The Highlanders went on a tear, winning five consecutive games to pull above the .500 level. All told, Radford reeled off 15 wins in 19 games before bogging down at the end of the rigorous schedule. Of those losses, three were on the home-floor of Division I schools and the other one came at defending national champion University of D.C. The Highlanders were not without big wins, either. Twice Radford knocked state-rival and eventual post-season tournament participant Randoiph-Macon from the ranks of the top ten in the nation At the Dedmon Center, where the Highlanders raced to a 12-1 home record. Radford systematically dismantled Mount St. Mary's, a Division II tournament team. 77-65. Radford also took it to NAIA Nationals participant Liberty Baptist College, 71-63. at the Dedmon Center. The Highlanders would also capture their second consecutive championship trophy with a stirring 74-72 win over St Paul's. Freshman Billy Myers' lay-up with three seconds left to play provided the winning margin. The catalysts all season long for Raaford were silky senior gjard tvey Cook (13.2 ppg). steady sophomore forward David Smith (12.9 ppg. 6.9 icg). and flashy freshman guard Billy Myers (11.8 ppg) Senior point guard Roy Flynn (4.2 ppg) led the balanced, fostbreok attack and would set two school records before he hung uo his shoes. Flynn set the school record for career assists with 336 and the singleseason record with 120 scoring ocsses Freshmen centers Tim Hale (4 5 ppg) and David Pierce (4.5 ppg) combined to give Rodford solid play in the pivot as junior Jimmy Henderson (3.3 ppg) battied injuries much of the season Billy Goode (6.9 ppg) came off the bench to light up the scoreboard as he did against Fcstem College when he nad Radford's high-point game with 26 points in a 98-69 win. Sophomore Charlie Turner averaged 5.4 points a game and also provided some clutch perfor mances in tight ball games. Junior transfer Lonnie Smith logged a lot of p aying time and contributed to the team. Freshman Mike Burton came on at the end of the season to show his potential. Freshman Steve Orr played sparingly well at times, and not so well during other stretches Junior Bob Brooke sat out much of the season with an ankle injury.

It was the most challenging. This season, the Lady Highlanders earned an impassive 18-8 mark including a 13-1 record at the Dedmon Center and a second place finish in the state tournament. With four new feces in the starting Ime-up. the women we-e forced to cdjust quickly to a new division and a tougher schedule. But in their first year as Division II members of the NCAA's South Atlantic Region. Radford met the challenge. Behind the early season play of forward Sara Riley. and the hot shooting hand of Cindy Skinny Warring down the stretch, the women recorded some impressive wins over such teams as Wake Forest. George Washington. George Mason and the University of Richmond. Tm very encouraged about the season. said coach Pat Barrett who is currently the 13th most win-ningest coach in the NCAA. Before the season staged, I had no idea we would beat some of the teams that we beat. The only thing that marred what might have been the team's most successful season was a disappointing one point loss to Hampton Institute in the finals of the Virginia State Tournament. A win against Hampton would have almost guaranteed Radford a spot in the regional playoffs. ‘1 can't say enough about this team for what they accomplished this season. said Barrett. We had so much depth that everyone was able to make a contribution. A very important contributing factor to this year's team was the performances of the first year players. Skinny. who came to Radford with guard Kathy Bocock after playing two years at Ferrum College, led the team in scoring. Freshman point guard Lynn Richmond led the Lady Highlanders offense at the point position along with veteran Pebbles Maynard. Another freshman. Stacy Cox was described by Barrett as a “coaches dream She developed into a valuable small forward as the season progressed. Added to these players was a crop of seasoned veterans that blended nicely into coach Barrett's platooning offense. Sophomore Sara Riley moved to the forward position afte' playing at the guard spot as a freshman and immediately established herself as a dominating wing player. The Lynchburg native was second in scoring and rebounds. Beth Cleavenger and Karen Bailey combined with Bocock and Julie Hogan to give the Lady Highlanders an added offensive dimension at the shooting gua'd position. The post position was another key to Radford's success where Nan Millner led the team in rebounds. Carla Webb was named most valuable player of the Radford Invitational for her play at center. Bar-bara Waters also gave the women depth at center while playing most of the season at the wing spot. “There was a game or two where we had a letdown this year but overall we played exceptionally well, said Barrett.

It was one spor in which fun was the main goal, although once the ball got bouncing so to speak, aggressiveness became part of the game. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of intramural basketball was the name of each team that won a championship title. The champs of the men's open division were the Doctors. In the men's dorm division Secret Weapon won the championship title. A new division was cdded this year — the un-der-six-feet division — and the victor of this new division was a team that called itself Sharkey's Machine. (Watch out. Burt Reynolds.) In the fraternity division, routinely-titled Sigma Phi Epsilon emerged as champs. The women's lecgue wasn't quite so active in intramural basketball this year, but the winners of the women's dorm division, the Bad Muse Bears, at least kept up the unique tradition in team names.

This year the brothers of Alpha Chi Rho proved to be anything but cnimals. Sure they had a lot of parties, but most of the time the parties were for other people. For example, the fraternity threw a birthday party for the whole group at Heritage Hall Nursing Home. One of the brothers took along his banjo, and other members brought one-step cameras. Between the smiles and flashing bulbs, everyone lis- tened to the foot-stomping music. Alpha Chi Rho also played Santa Claus. During the holidays, two crates of conned food and two rather plump turkeys were delivered to the Women's Resource Center in Radford via the brothers. To raise money for all their service-oriented projects, the fraternity hod two car washes, sponsored Wednesday rocket nights at the Bus Stop, and worked a concession stand at a Virginia Tech football game. ui itx ALPHA CHI RHO: (Front Row) Charlie Dodge.

These activities included, working with the Radford Community Hospital on a volunteer basis where members ran the library book cart and helped with Tel-Med, a medical information program. The members also helped the hospital sponsor a candy X-ray service for area children at Halloween. Throughout the year. SPE brothers delivered “Meals on Wheels to shut-ins two weekends a month, donated two 18-pound hams to the Christmas Food Pantry which provides food to the area's needy; raffled off a quarter's tuition; and helped with the Big Brother-Big Sister project by sponsoring an area child. Planning for sometime in the near future, SPE has begun to help establish a Steven Greenwood Fund. The fund is designed to assist families of seriously ill children pay for their hospital expenses. In addition to these projects, SPE helped with the MDA Dance-A-Thon. the Cystic Fibrosis Racquetball Tournament, and sponsored Wednesday nights at the Hideout, VFW parties, and Saturday nights at TJ.'s.

Your friends from TKE. is how the message read in the January 20 edition of the Tartan. Friday night before the big game, a blanket of snow covered the town of Radford. But that didn't stop the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Competition was tough, the ground was cold and, at the end of the game, the score was 7-7. That fiercely competitive spirit is the backbone of TKE. For example, during fall auarter the fraternity broke the world's record in keg rolling. Miller Brewing Company donated a specially designed keg to the fraternity, and the members rolled it all the way to Washington. D.C. in 52 hours. Approximately S8C00 was collected in pledges, and the money was donated to St. Judes Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The fraternity also helped with community clean-up projects and volunteered their services to area senior citizens. TAU KAPPA EPSILON: (From Row) Wayne FocJdis. M ke Raeder (vice president].

The fraternity sponsored o needy child from Thailand through the Christian Children's Fund, decorated Happy Valley Nursing Home ot Christmas, donated food to the Welfare Department and gave candy to an area chu'ch on Halloween. They also sponsored other fraternities and sororities in their fund raisers. Phi Sig members ore especially proud of the strong ties they've built with the fraternity's alumni. During Homecoming, the bothers organized a wine and cheese party, and the alumni were again honored ot a banquet during Founder's Day Weekend. Alumni are informed of the fraternity's activities through a monthly rewsletter. Promoting harmonious relations among the fraternities at Radford and regulating them is the purpose of the Inter-Fraternity Council.

All the crafts were handmade. They also took pictures of students with Santa. These everts were held at Heth Student Center and enabled Tri-Sig to raise $230. The sorority sold Classmates calendars. raffled a blender, sold baked goods and frisbees. To promote togetherness, Tri-Sig sponsored mixers with fraternities, had an open house for other sororities and picnicked with the sisters of AST. Members went to the University of Virginia to help install a Sigma Sigma Sigma chapter there. On Valentine's Day. the girls warmed he hearts of residents at the Radford Se nior Citizen's Center with a party The siste's of Alpha Kappa Alpha raised funds this year to contribute to such national organizations as N.A.A.C.P., P.U.S.H., the Negro College Fund and the Sickle Cell Anemia charity. They held parties and came up with a unique idea to raise funds with a Window Wipe at Heck s. In the immediate area, the sisters contributed canned food to the New River Community Action Center in Christiansburg. after sponsoring a Halloween Dance where the admission price was a conned good. They also worked in the nu'sery of the Missionary Baptist Church on the first Sunday of every month. To promote togetherness. AKA presented its annual fashion show March 18. All the sororities were invited to attend. The siste's also gave rush pariies and get-togethers for interested students. Study breaks were held in their sorority room in the basement of Stuart dorm.

They participated in the MDA Dance-a-thon, the Cystic Fibrosis Racquetbell Tournament and they worked on a voluntee' basis at the New River Valley Juvenile Detention Home in Christiansburg. The sisters also assisted at the Rcdford Community Hospital, working with the child care ard older citizens' unit. The 60-member sorority participated in the Jump Rope for Heart campaign ard the Specicl Olympics at Virginia Tech. Two high points for the girls came when they had the opportunity to give Halloween and Valentine's parties for area children through the Women's Resource Center. ASA. who got an award from President Donald Dedmon in the spring fof having the highest GPA of any sorority on cam- pus, participated in many campus activities. These included: their Founder Day Dance, which recognizes the day of the soronty's beginning in November, and their dinner dance in April, which is their annual spring formal event. Every Friday night, the sisters sponsored happy hour at TJ s. Alpha Sigma Alpha did more than their share of things end $pon$ored more than enough community projects, but the girls all seem to agree on the single, funniest idea they came up with: in the spring several members camped on the roof of the 7-11 store to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association. How's that for a unique idea!?! The members of Delta Sigma Theta contributed their time this year to monthly service projects. They also raised money for the Sickle Cell Anemia fund. In Janu- ary. they had a dance in Heth. with the proceeds going to S.C.A. The girls got in shape by having aerobic exercise sessions in Heth during the months of October and November. Delta Sigma Theta celebrated Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday by having a guest speaker, a poet, a choir ard a march in Heth in a tribute to the leader. The sorority also had a tribute to black women during winter quarter. A guest speaker and a poet presented speeches In Heth.

Real sweet kisses and baked potatoes The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha, or Zeta as they’re known on campus, thrive on new ideas. First there was the tuck-in service, which consisted of a sorority of girls going from door to door in the dormitories atoll hours of the night, tucking students in. at the reauest of friends. The girls usually told the “tuckee a fairy tale and sung a lullaby. Ana of course there's the inevitable good-night kiss, just like Mom used to give. The sorority provided their unique tuck-in service several times throughout the school year, charging 25 cents per tuck-in for their original idea (which seems to have gained in popularity campuswide, for organizations and “tuckees alike). Then there was the real sell-a-kiss idea. The sisters of ZTA sold real kisses nol the chocolate ones — in February for Valentine's Day. Sweeter than chocolate. v as the idea And of course, there was the unique Baked Potato Sole, which speaks for itself. It was such a good idea that other groups on campus had stolen it. too. by the end of the year. The girls of Zeta Tau Alpha also worked in the community, with area hospitals. Special Olympics, senior citizens homes and the Big Brother-Big Sister program, and on campus with the Bloodmobile. the Cystic Fibrosis Racquetball Tournament, the Wesley Foundation Rock-a-thon, the Women's Resource Center, and the MDA Dance-a-thon. Of course, they had plain and simple fun, too. Along with their annual dinner dance in March. ZTA had socials for various other sororities and fraternities. The girls also participated in Spirit Nights at the Dedmon Center during the basketball season, as well as intramurals. (But let's face it: 1982-83 will probably always be remembered by ZTA as the year of the baked potato and the real sweet kiss!) The Panhellenic (“All-Greek ) Council was proud to announce the induction of the sorority Delta Zeta to R.U. Last spring the council went through an extension process where they interviewed three sororities before choosing Delta Zeta. Every fall, the Panhellenic Council is responsible for Formal Rush. Afterwards, they sponsor a pledge reception for new pledges of recognized sororities. A Christmas party was held this year and the sororities drew names and exchanged gifts. In March, an officer installation event was held with a reception following in Heth Ballroom. Tne Panhellenic Council sponsored a young boy in the Radford area, enabling him to go to a nursery school. He was walked to and from school by soronty girls, with each sorority taking turns on a monthly basis Dances were held throughout the year to raise money for Greek Week.

Circle K is the largest international collegiate service organization serving college campuses, communities and nations. During spring quarter. Circle K'ers reac-tiyated the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon in Rodford, the first since 1970. A skate-a-thon in Christiansburg was the vehicle for raising $500 to help fund an operation for a handicapped student at New River Community College The club not only raised $500. but the hospital and the surgeon waived all their costs upon Circle K's pledge so the money was donated to the handicapped services at NRCC instead. Radford and Virginia Tech Circle K clubs are working jointly to provide rides for the handicapped student to classes at NRCC and to provide an exercise program for him twice per week. Circle K'ers also began shuffling papers in order to help the Radford Women's Club with their paper drives and visited a nu'sing home in Dublin monthly. Service to the campus is another impor-•ent angle of Circle K. The Circle K'ers usher for the Marlins, the dance performances. and all of the cultural concerts. They also provide for the campus with the Bloodmobile. The largest campus-wide community event, with the manpower chiefly provided by Circle K, is the annual Handicap Awareness Week in March. District-wide Circle K focused in 1982 on the fight against the number one genetic killer of children — cystic fibrosis. Radford Circle K is doing its share by sponsoring the first Racquet-Play-a-Thon at the Dedmon Center. However, Circle K is not all work and no play. Every holiday is celebrated with a Circle K pariy. Membership induction banquets always include entertainment and dancing. Highlighting the year are the district and international conventions held in major cities where Radford Circle K club celebrates its accomplishments with competitive awards, formal and informal dinners, dances, workshops, and, of course, partying. The Cotillion social dance club is one of the oldest clubs on campus. Each year members sponsor the annual May formal. When members weren't preparing for the dance, they were busy sponsoring other organizations in fund raisers. The 30 members of Ujima were also trying to help others during the year. The social organization made Thanksgiving baskets for needy families, contributed to R.U.'s emergency fund and helped orient new students. Good cause. Nancy Wifi.

At each weekly meeting, members sang, prayed and listened to guest speakers. During the week, they broke into small groups to study the Bible and learn from each other. Next year the fellowship plans on attending a world wide missionary conference in Illinois. Members of the Campus Crusade for Christ also met for Bible studies during the year. Over summer break, many of the members participated in missionary tours. As a group the club went on two weekend retreats and attended a regional conference. Our organization is a part of a national and international movement, said Mike Woody, called the Great Commission. Our purpose is to share Christ with those around us. Members of the Baptist Student Union encouraged participation by the students with fellow Christians last year, 'hey also attempted to reach people for Christ and to foster ministry skills in members that can be used in the locdl church.

It meant hours upon hours of work throughout the year, endless skipped meals and. of course, lowered grades When the work was over; however, nothing else seemed quite as important as the personal satisfaction that remained. They knew they'd done the best job possible and they were proud of it. Brian Cook. Tartan editor, said producing o student newspaper was a 24-hour job. Copy and photo assignments were given two weeks in advance. After the copy came in. it had to oe edited and sent to a local typesetter. Meanwhile, photos had to be caDtioned. headlines had to be written, advertisements were procured and pages were dummied up. When asked if he thought it was all worthwhile. Cook said, Yes, I hope the practical experience will pay off some day. The small but experienced Beehive staff was also faced with photo assign- ments, writing copy, caption and headlines and laying out the pages for numerous deadlines during 1982-83. All the hard work never dampened their spirits, though. Last year s book received a first place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. said editor Terri Link, and this year we plan on doing ;ust as well, or better! Members of the Gaelic staff were also proud of their accomplishments Fall quarter marked the publication of the first edition of Radford's student magazine.

SGA sponsored a book exchange in Moffett for students intersted in saving money. They organized the autumn court, tried to resolve the parking problem for commuters and sponsored a mock electiorvdebate in October. During Christmas, the Student Government Association supported needy children at a party. A typing room was set up in the Day Student Lounge this year. The typewriters are on indefinite loan from the business department. To foster school spirit. SGA offered c monetary prize to the student who wrote the best school spirit song.

Dr. Donald N. Dedmon arrived on the Radford campus. Since that time, nothing has remained the same What used to be a quiet, conservative women's college exploded — only three months after his arrival — into a liberal coeducational institution providing career opportunities for both males and females equivalent to that available at many other universities Progress was seen in the area of intercollegiate athletics; the establishment of a honors pregram and scholarship opportunities; the constructing of the $8 million convocation center; and the change from a college to an accredited university. The whole atmosphere — lifestyle and attitudes — hes charged, and Radford, under the direction of Dr. Dedmcn, has progressed into a competitive academic enterprise. Although he prefers to remain out of the limelight, his actions and the changes that have come about due to them, cannot go unnoticed and Radford is looking forward to another decade of advancement under the guidance of Dr. Dedmon. 190 Admirdsfrctionraculty 1 Big ten.

This was one work Dr. James S. Hartman, vice president for student affairs, used to describe his job. It's appropriate since his duties range from providing professional leadership to staff and programs within the Student Affairs orea. exercising managerial and budget responsibility for the administration of the Student Affairs, to coordinating the development of effective student involvement and being a liaison to students in matters which relate to their concerns. As Hartman put it, I'm a student advocate who responds to student needs.'' According to Hartman, Student Affairs is a multi-faceted area to meet the needs of students and maintain communication and cooperation among students, faculty and staff. Student Affairs is strong here since most RU students live on campus. The staff, faculty and students interact well together which promotes a good Student Affairs. Hartman has been involved with student affairs since 1965. After working for 12 years at Ohio University where he taugnt graduate courses in education, was an assistant dean to one of the academic schools, was an assistant vice president to one of the academic schools and was an assistant vice pesident of student affairs, he came to R.U. He's now in his fifth year here. Asked why he chose this kind of profession, he replied, Tve always enjoyed the excitement of working on campus. It gives me the opportunity to be in direct contact with students. I enjoy the teaching and service role I provide to the students and the challenge of meeting he basic needs of the students Hartman sa;d R.U. s known statewide for its s rong Student Affairs, with a special responsibility to the residential area which sets us apar from other universities.

Willicms, assistant administrator of ccademic affairs, is not only fulfilling his role as a student, but he also claims the role cs a Radford administrator. A role most students never have the opportunity to p:ay. Williams' position as administrator allows him to gain professional experience while continuing his education. Williams states. I feel gaining experience in the professional world is of utmost importance for any student when they graduate be-casue that's an employers major concern when hiring. In my cause, I can reach my gocl of continuing my education as well as ccquiring the experience I need. The position of assistant administrato- of ccademic affairs entails a variety of duties for Ray Williams. It involves evaluating applications for transfer students, planning minority recruitment and assisting se nior citizen students. Williams' efforts at Radford often go beyond his 8 to 5 position because of the many clubs and organizations he sponsors on campus. Black History Committee, PAI.R.S., Ujima, and Delta Sigma Theta ere just a few of the clubs he supports. Since Williams has done both under- graduate and graduate work at Radford and works with students as an administrator and sponsor, he's developed a picture of Radford's student body from different perspectives. When asked how he'd describe Radford students. Williams said. I feel Radford students are fun-loving but sensitive and friendly as well. I don't think Radford's the party school everybody wants to believe. He feels the students are here to learn and have a good time like most students. Williams also states, “The student at Radford is often hard to describe at first because of the enormous variety in personalities and lifestyles As a student and administrator. I've watched other students transform into a student mold when they enter as freshmen, but everybody is typically the same when they come here. Williams, speaking from his own experience, says. The only way to breck from that student mold after gradu ation is to be aggressive and outgoing in your particular field. Although Radford does provide tremendous security and an affiliation with people who are exceptionally friendly and considerate, Williams would someday like to work in a larger city so his psychology skills will be tested where the competition is greatest. W Ray V i'i.ams is not only a graduate psychology' s udeni, oul also assisfent odmirvsfrafcr of academic affairs Th$ d a! role enables hm to gain experience wh lo continuing his education.

Debbie says.That's Debbie's job, in a nutshell, and it's been her job for all 10 anc a ha f years she's been with Radford. We have a news bureau that handles all news releases to the media. We put out all the catalogs, pamphlets, brochures, and. of course. Radford, the university magazine. Basically what we are is the campus clearinghouse. Deboie, who graduated from Virginia Tech with c degree in political science, seems proudest of the campus magazine and its high reputation. It's not just an alumni magazine, she says. It goes just about everywhere — to parents, friends of the university and even to office reception areas.

Actuclly, Murphy's opinion may be a little understated or modest oecouse he obviously generated a great deal of popularity among his students in order to be voted the 1982 Teocher of the Year. Dr. Murphy may give the impression of being just an ordinary college professor by fulfilling his weekly hours in the classroom and office. However. Dr. Murphy still continues to improve his writing skills by studying writing and participating in writing and English organizations outside the office He feels his skills as cn English professor and writer should continue to grow olthougn he's reached his limits in higher education. A description of Dr. Murphy as a teacher is that of enthusiasm. When he enters the clossroom he cla ms his goal is to generate a genuine desire for English among his students. He says, Students think of English Literature and writing os an uninteresting sjbject to learn but actually it becomes very exciting and challenging to students when I app'oach it to them with enthusiasm; therefore, there's no reason for it to be boring. When asked if students give him the positive response he seeks. Murphy said, Yes. many get caught up in the old English Literature and are very receptive, but there'll still be some who refuse to think it's anything less than boring. Dr. Murphy also expressed that Radford students have a great deal of potential in their writing and have very important things to say through their writing. He scid, The writing in the Gaelic and the Tartan is very powerful and they are outstanding publications They also are good repre sentations of the writing ability Radford students do possess. '' Murphy generally enjoys his life here a Radford. He finds the people very friendly end pleasant. He also likes the comfort-cble laid back approach people take In Radford. During his time away from campus Dr Murphy likes to work with his kids arounc the house, feeling it helps the growth of his family unit. Yes, Dr. Murphy may think of himself as just an ordinary teacher, but in the four years he's been here, he's instilled in students an enthusiasm for English, built good relationships with many colleagues and still strives to improve himself in his role as a master of the English langucge.

Something for everyone The University's telecommunications bu-recu. located n Porterfield Hall, operates TV production facilities and WVRU, the ccmpus radio station, located at 89.9 on the FM dial. The entire operation is under the supervision of Mr. William Yerrick, director of telecommunications and telecommunications instructor. Yerrick has been at Radford for seven years. When I first came here, the entire bureau (as it exists now) was one big journalism class and lab. he says “There was no telecommunications program and wnat's now the WVRU newsroom and TV studio was an empty room used mainly for storage. Yerrick furthe' explains that journalism was a separate department from speech, end the public address track of speech, along with communication disorders. was incorporated in with theater as cne department. During Yerrick's first year at Rcdford. a telecommunications advisory committee wrote the original master plan to identify the needs for a campus program, end plcnning end proposing began. Once approved, TV equipment was bought, piece by piece, and telecommunications courses were planned, written and approved. IN 1978, WVRU was established with a two-fold purpose: to provide an outlet and extension for the University and a learning environment for telecommunications majors. WVRU, with the motto Something for Everyone. s under the supervision of radio director and telecommunications instructor Mr. Dave Saba ni Yerrick explains that the TV facilities provide instructional support to various departments (on campus). He cites the nursing department as one of the numerous examples. “They use our facilities to produce demonstration tapes for clinical instruction 'he says. The video equipmerv is also used to tape lectures and guest speakers who come to campus. Video programs produced are catalogued and available to faculty througn the videotepe library in McConnell. Included in the library ere locally produced programs, programs purchased from commercial sources and programs taped off-the-air where licensing fees have been paid or permission granted Such programs located in the library range from Appalachian folklore to fiction and poetry readings to piano class techniques. Over 150 students at Radford are telecommunications majors in the speech area. Rodford's facilities and program are ranked as cne of the top university-operated in the state. Majors maintaining a 3.0 grade point average in speech courses reauired often take internships ot various radio and TV stations including WDBJ-TV channel 7 in Roanoke and the Christian Broadcasting Network in Norfolk Yerrick says the number of telecommunications majo's “has probably tripled over the past four years. Referring to the telecommunications bureau, he says. “We provide resources (for the University) as well as a lab facility for students 208 Administration faculty JOURNALISM, SPEECH COMMUNICATIONS, TELECOMMUNICATIONS: {Front ROWlMs Dr. Mar Gailogher.

This is her humorous way of explaining her love for the city of Radford as well as the University. Ms. Barber, assistant professor of physical education, grew up in Radford, graduated from Radford College in 1942, and returned to the college to teach. During this time, she has witnessed many changes in both the school and the city. One such change is the Radford Hospital. “As a kid. I used to fly my kite in the field wnich is now the site where I volunteer on Saturaays As an undergraduate at Radford, Ms. Barber was quite active in tne sports program, the horsebac riding p'ogram. Choral and Cotillion clubs. She majored in science with aspirations of becoming a nurse, but she also took as many physical education courses as possible. Bock in 1942, sne told her advisor she was neve' going to teach. It just proves that life can play many tricks on you! Ms. BarDer went on to teach not only at Radford High School and College, but in Concord. West Virginia and at Junior colleges in Bristol. In her spare time, Ms. Barber enjoys swimming, golfing, and riding. In fact, she taught riding at Radford College in the '60s. A few years ago she had to have a total hip replacement, which limits her cc tivity somewhat. But she edds, “it's the best part about me and only proves you can keep go:ng if you want to. Ms. Barber plans to retire in a few years to Florida where her relatives are living now. Well see how long it takes her to decide to come bock this time!

Currently she is busy starting something else new to Rod-ford. the Appalachian Events Committee, which is in the process of being recognized as an all-campus group. As adviser of the group this year. Dr. Wagner helped to sponsor such entertaining events as workshops, the Hoorah Cloggers Performance. and the Trapezoid Concerts among others. Dr. Wagner has expenenced all sdes of academic life.

It is entitled Metaphysics in Midwestern America. Dr. Wagner enjoys working and living in this area because the atmosphere, life-stye and people of Radford are similar to what she experienced while growing up on a g'ain farm in c small town in indianc.

This presented a slight problem last year when the demand for business classes exceeded the University's supply of teachers and the reconstruction oif McGuffey. the business hall, forced classes to be held cnywhere from the basement of Trinkle end Washington dorms to the lounges of Muse. But ousiness is our business and the law of supply and demand isn't to be hcggled over. So, with the oeginning of fall quarter, an influx of new business educators appeared all over campus; one of whom was McRae Banks. It's difficult (for the department) to be scattered all over campus. The interaction thet can be found in an academic hall is gone. Even so. Banks is optimistic that tne moving croond is a sign that the Business department is up and coming. That's ore reason why he chose to tecch at Rcd-ford I ike rhe size of the student body and the size of the campus Students receive the individual attention that can't be found in 'arger universities to find Before coming to Rcdford, Banks received a B.S. from Virginia Tech and a M.S. from Northwestern University in Illinois. Currently, he is completing his Ph D. in Public Administration at Tech while teaching at Radford. Prior to his doctorate studies he worked as general manager for a small business known as Britton Enterprises. After leaving Britton Enterprises. Banks had several job opportunities offered him. but chose to pursue a career in education. I'm interested in helping young people in theirquest to be successful. You can't help them all. or even most of them, but if you can reach a few, even one. then you can say you've done your job. To Banks, this means the student must make the effort to see his edviser on a regular basis. But where, you csk is your adviser's office0 Well, it could be almost anywhere on campus. Ms. Wells? Her office is located in the basement of Stuart. Dr McGreevey? He's in the basement of Peery. Dr. Laughlin? He shares the office with Dr. McGreevey. And McRae Banks? He ccn be found in the casement of Peters Hall (yes. that's the old gym). Now these Business advisers are a little tougher to find than most other edvisers. but it's well worth the effort. 218 Aam nijrraton FoctJty Physical Science 219 BUSINESS: (Front Row) Or.

To him. theatre is a learning experience available to ever cne and it's the cooperation and nard work which makes each production a success. It all started eight yecrs ago when Dr. Hawes appeared on campus and become chairman of what was then the Theatre, Speech and Communication Disorders Department. His innovativeness end ingenuity have 'set the scene' for a very ‘productive' theatre department. With the increasing interest in theatre, •he department later became a separate entity incorprated into the School of Fine Arts, and Dr. Hawes moved with it as chairman. This solo identity presented the department with the boost it needed to establish itseif os a professional department. It expanded, not only in size, but in the opportunities that were available for students. First Nighter's Club was organized — a group consisting of Rcdford residents, faculty, and alumni who wish to attend seasonal productions on their first night. Donations from the club go to the establishment of a scholarship fund for theatre students, the first of which will oe awarded this fall. The Guest Stcr program was initiated which brings a famous celebrity to campus each spring to star in the production. Studio Theatre, directed by and starring students, and Children's Theatre ere two more programs which have come into being under the authorization of Dr. Hawes. Summer Theatre, which is still in the planning stages, will give students the opportunity to participate in theatre productions while attending summer school. But does Hawes take credit for the excellent productions the department has produced Why. never! Because a serious theatre individual knows it's the teamwork and creative ingenuity of the whole that works best. Charles Hayes instructs students in playwriting, acting and children's plays; Carl Lefko teaches technical set-up and set design; and Dr. Hawes teaches directing, dramatic theory and theatre history. Still, according to Dr. Hcv es. the theatre depa'tment is g-ateful for all the inter depalmental cooperation: the dance depa'tment for training students in choreography; the speech department for instructing students in voice and diction and public speaking; and the art department for perfectmg the creative talents which students utilize in set designs. The show must — and will — go cn. but there a'e no supe'stars Just a cast of ha'd-working individuals which, like Dr. Hawes, sees theatre as a learning experience which everyone can take part in. 226 Administration Faculty MUSIC: (Front Row) Ms. Mildred Heimlich.

Leslie Lucas calls her parents, Saloh and Amy. when she gets homesick. W009 VSVt Freshmanitis strikes again Freshman. Upperclassmen spotted them easily. What many people didn't realize, and what many upperclassmen seemed to forget, was that most freshmen were afflicted with a disease commonly known as freshmanitis.'' which had the following symptoms: Symptom 1 — HOMESICKNESS: This symptom of freshmanitis showed up first and lasted from the moment the freshman's parents pulled out of the parking lot until late October. In extreme cases, this symptom had been known to persist through November. The new student of Radford truly believed his roommate to be the most hopeless mental case in the history of mankind. Phone bills, which the student received in the mail around the end of September, were in the three digit range, end most of them were to his ho- metown. He missed, more than anything, homecooked meals; lasagna like mama mode, vegetable soup like dad's. Boston cream pie like dear or grendma's. yet somehow, the freshman put on 15 pounds by Halloween because of too many trips to Eddie's Market o'the Seven-Eleven. This symptom of freshmanitis is one of the ugliest and certainly the most painful, but if the student made it through this symptom, chances were he'd pull thonjgh the disease itself. Symptom 2 — INABILITY TO ADJUST: Some experts believe this symptom to be the same as Symptom 1, but actually there Is c difference. Inability to adjust didn't strike until the third day of school; not until the initial newness of Radford University had worn off. This symptom appeared in many ways. One way is known as The Nerd Syndrome. In TNS, the student wore his high school letter jacket over a Saturday Night Fever T-shirt, failed to rearrange his dorm room from the way it was when he first moved in end, in the ccse of most freshmen girts, carried a pocketbook to class TNS makes the freshman guite obvious, but fortunately the freshman doesn't realize he has had TNS until late in his sophomore yea- Other areas inability to cdjust appeared in were budgeting, finding something to do on weekends (in which case most freshmen resorted to the recreation room in Heth or Pac Man at Seven-Eleven to get their thrills), and adapting to small town life in Rcdford. This symptom was cured by mid-December but was regarded as second in difficulty to Homesickness.

Symptom 3 — TIME MANAGEMENT DIFFICULTIES: When freshmen began classes they had a strong feeling of confidence, the freshman would be president of his class straight through to graduation, he would have a 4.0 G.P.A., and he would be a social butterfly. This feeling of power; however, died abound 2 p.m. on the first Friday 1 gave way to a classic symptom of freshmanitis known as Time Management Difficulties. There were no omni-P'esent parents to make the student work. While the first symptom, Inaoility to Adjust, disappeared by late fall. Time Management Difficulties persisted through January. Feelings of the awesome college; Four years is a long time, were common here. The freshman had trouble coordinating leisure time with study time, and may have given too much of himself to one or the other. By the time Time Management Difficult es begcn to disappear, the student had earned to be more assertive, a survivor. He had even been known to whistle the theme from the motion picture “Rocky II on his way to class Symplon 4 — EFFECTIVE DETACHMENT FROM MOM. Actually this last symptom isn't a symptom at all. but rather a sign that the new student was recovering from freshmanitis. ’he freshman was no longer naive to college life. He owned a faded Radford University sweatshirt, not a brcrd new one. and ♦he girls discarded their purses for the leisure look of knapsacks. fi03 W The freshman had to have proof that his mom really was being held for ransom be fo-e he'd even attempt to go home He had many friends, and he was learning to budget his time and his checkbook. He'd even adjusted to cafeteria food ard his phone bills dwindled to a two-digit num-ber His room was a mess, his notebook was full and he was hoppier.

Sparked by the conflicts in Poland and El Satvcdor. active interest in exposing the injustice and suffering throughout the world was renewed. Thousands of normally politically inactive Americans took to heart the pi ght of these foreign people, and as they did. Americans also began to realize the fragileness of their own security. For toe many people the possibility of a nuclear war began to seem all too reo. In fea'ful desperation people marched, picketed, signed petitions, staged die-ins. and pleaded emotionally to the rest of the country. The movement in it's cohesive form, culminated in the formation of Ground Zero Week. It was the people's petition of non-portisan. community-based discussions and events designed to educate and involve the American people on the issue of nuclear war. Ground Zero Week took place April 18th thoougn April 25th. It represented the highest form of raising civil awareness in a nonviolent manne' over an issue of critical concern. At Radford. Ground Zero Week was represented by the Radford University Ministries and the Womens' Committee. Together, the two groups organized a numbe' of events with the hope of raising student knowledge on the nuclear wcr. A list of available speakers for various nuclear topics was published and brochures and pamphlets were handed out. The nuclear horror film “Failsafe was shown. Displays, meant to frighten as well as inform, were set up in Heth and the library. Bishop Walter Sullivan, famous for his outspoken criticisms, spoke to students on the morel conflict involved with nuclear weapons. Ground Zero Week not only discussed the issue of nuclear weapons, but represented the growing interest in the world beyond these hills. The appearances of Soviet dissident Alexander Ginzberg. con-trove'sial Watergate criminal G. Gordon Liddy, journalist Seymour Hersh. and the debate between liberal Brian Aaams and conservation Professor William Hawkins, have raised questions among the University's students.

Be a leader, not a follower Xi A.rr j!ior j Consumer advocate Ra'ph Node' focused his atieniioo on the role of students in American society dunng a speech in November Consume' advocate Ralph Nader gave students a mild shock when he sooke on campus in November. There's no reason, he announced, forstudents not to be excited. He explained: I go through lib'aries in universities all across tne country and what do I see? I see students trying to study. Some are accomplishing this task, while others are engaged in procrastination techniques; they're dragging their eyeballs across the page, rivulets of saliva drool out of the comers of their mouth, they outline everything with their felt-tip markers. Their motto is 'outline now. learn it later.' Funny as it was. Nader's message hit home for many in the audience Many may have realizec how spicy their col lege education could be. but perhaps wasn't, when Nader advocated incorporating knowledge with a sense of values. That. he added. Is what gives you and your education real power. Nader, whose book about the auto industry. Unsafe at Any Speed, geined him national recognition in the mid-60s. spoke on a number of subjects, but gave most of his attention to the role of the student in American society He backed up his arguments with exam pies of American college students who have made considerable headway in bettering the r communities. It's easy to be a follower. Nader sc id. “but there are too many followers now. This country is begging for leaders.

The kick-offs were short lived during the 1982 p'ofessional season. Players feit they weren't earning enough money, so a strike became inevitable. Since the players were on strike, a halt was put on Americas favorite past-time. What were men and women to do with their Sunday afternoons and Monday nights without the traditional football games? Did they really care about this ab sence in their lives or did they learn to dive't their interest or activities? Several Radford students were asked how they felt about the strike and what they did to fill the void. Senior Jeff Witt thinks the football players are overpaid. Witt said, Football players will make more money m one to three years than a teacher will make in a lifetime, so I think it's a joke for them to strike. He cdded, I feel people are evaluating television in general now. and are fuming toward family oriented activities. I feel so strongly against footbcll now. that even if it continues this season, I won't watch it. Bobby Turner, another senior, viewed the strike differently. Turner felt the strike was absolutely fair and the players deserve the extra money. Turner explains. Most of the players in general don't earn as much as most people think. It's the superstars that receive such large sums of money. He also said that a player's career doesn't last very long because of the risks involved More money compensates for these risks. When asked what he does on Sunday afternoon now. Turner said. I've started watching a lot of boxing and usually catch a college game or two on Saturdays Brenda Saunders, a journalism majo'. was asked her opinion about the strike. She said, I don't really understand why the players went on strike When I did stal enjoying and understanding the game, it was taken off TV. When asked how sne replaced professional football. Saunders said. “I usually watch college football with my boyfriend because he always has it on, even if he's just listening. Due to the strike, students adapted to the loss by finding other v oys to spend their Sunday cftemoons. Some considered the strike as a relief while others who couldn't get enough, turned the channel to college games. Strike leaves void Poo Key Running the ball.

All ccross campus, students slapped their foreheads and exclaimed, why didn't someone think of that before! Actually someone had. but thorugh the veers, the project got lost. To re-establish a student phone directory was a good idea. County phone books weren't available until December or January and by that time tne year was nearly half over. The use of last year's phene book was no good since most students had changed dorm rcoms and new students had filled their place. Due to the new phone system this yecr. there was a charge for calling info--rration beyond an alloted number for eacn billing period.

The Ms. Radford pageant was sponsored by the junior class and held in Preston Auditorium before a full house on May 2. There were seven male entrants, ecch sponsored by a different sorority, each dressed as a gorgeous female. They left a lot to be desired in the glamour de-pahment. Their pantyhose bagged at the knees. Their bustlines were crooked and a bit lerge Their makeup was less than enhancing. But each marched p'Oudly out on stage, swaying uneasily on h.gh heels, trying to be typically femcle — and not succeeding. There was a swimsuit competition, a talent competition, even a question and answer portion that Bert Parks would've been p'oud to be a part of.

Bill hopes to graduate this year with a degree in management from Rcdford. Bill is a native of Radfcrd. His interests in guitcr Pegan about 11 years ago. It wasn't until his initial enrollment at Radford University in 79 that he met another aspiring guitarist who greatly influenced his direction. Bill recalls posting a “lessons needed sign in Heth Hall that linked him with his mentor. Some of the more renowned influences on his music are Jimmy Reeves. Carl Perkins, and Eddie Cochran. Though relatively unknown to meny people, these recording artists were responsible for influencing the early years of rock and roll. Bill admits there's a certain degree of glamour associated with playing in a popular band and his ambitions run high in regards to a career in music, but school comes first. He explains. “School is my priority; music is secondary. Sure, there are times when I drag through classes and exams are expe-cially tough, but you just have to budget your time.

But many students find off-campus life holds many unique opportunities unknown to dorm students. Seniors Terry Little and Mcrty Everest and junior Kathy Mur son were such students. Upon moving into the house rented from Dr. Richard Murphy, an English professor, they discovered he house came complete with its own grapevine in the backyard. They agreed if would be a waste not to utilize the luscious frurt bestowed upon them. After considering many options — grape wine, grape juice, grape jelly — they settled on making the jelly. “We decided to make jelly so we could give it as Christmas presents, commented Little. None of them had made jelly before, but after some 'esearch, they were familiar with the pfoces$. Armed with a secret recipe, the three housemates began the long but rewarding process. The first step was the simplest yet most tedious — picking the grapes Unsuspecting friends were recruited to help. Next the g'apes had to be mashed, but not with their feet. The girls used a more modem technique — Terry's blender. The mashed'pureed grapes were strained, allowed to set overnight and strained egain. The fresh grape juice was brought to a boil along with other ingredients. The final product was poured into sterilized Mason jars, and sealed with wax. The outcome after several jelly-making sessions were four dozen jars, enough to supply everyone's family and friends with more than enough grape jelly. Sticky situation. Senior Marty Everest carefully pours grape jelly into jo's for sealing. Marty one her roommates made the jelly after finding on obuncance of gropes n ihe backyard of their off-campus menage. 304 Seni Klmburly Ollllsplo Business Margaret Glattly Psychology Rita Goad Elementary Education Sharon Gochenour Speech Edith Gocbol Chip Goodwin Nancy Goodwin Lisa Graham Business Business Business Medical Technology Cynthia Graul Davis Gray Malissa Gray JoanGreback Heath Business Busress Journalism Servers 305 Cindy Hall Julie Hall Patricia Hall Holly Hamby Business Business Business Business Lisa Hammond Business Patricia Hankley Journalism Patty Harbolick Early Childhood Education Shelly Harcharik Bus ness 306 Seniors Bct Nealy and his opponent proctice tennis during foil quarter David Hardin Rhonda Harless Recreation Criminal Justice Dot Harper Tanya Harper Common, cat on Disorders Physical Education Seniors 307 Briar Harris Political Science Christopher Harris Business 308 Seniors Dea” B anke'-ship cycles to 'he campus post office during seconc summer sossrcn Temur Mark Harris Joanalism Sharon Hasson Business Taml Hatcher Cynthia Haulseo Teresa Hawkins Criminol Justice Business Elementary Ecucaton Karen Hawthorne Recreation Kevin Hay Recreation Ann Hayden Business Thomas Haynes Criminal -Kjstco Seniors 309 Teresa Healy Sarah Heard Diana Heath Karon Hettinger Education Social Work Early Childhood Education Business Sharon Hettinger Amy Hemmings Communication Disorders Early Childhood Education Suzanne Henderson Business Lori Hess Math 310 Senior Laurl Hessenius Nursing Mona Hester French Mary Higgins Business Michelle Hlnel Business Senkxs 311 Barbara Holmes Community Hea 'th Martha Holden Business Donald Horan Business Sarah Horn Business Annette Horsloy Psychology Frank Howard Political Science Wo ne8aMey Oonnic Worley collapses cfter non slop dancing for the Muscular Dystrophy Association spring quarter Steve Howerton Business 312 Senors Randall Hubble Geography Bonnie Huffman Sabrina Hughes Karen Hurley Paula Huyett Nursing Business Early Childhood Education Soool Work Sarah Irby Christopher Irvine Karen Jackson Margaret Jackson Business Criminal Justice Home Economics Biology Sharon Jaecques Linda Jalali Dana Jenkins Deborah Jenkins Biology Business Bus ness Criminal Justice Seniors 313 JohnJenks Evan Jewett Diana Johnson Mary Johnson German Bustness Elementary Education Ccxnmonicaticn Disorders 314 Seniors Debra Jones Business Stanley Jones Biology Kathryn Journigan Social Work Harvey Joyce Recreation Paula Kanla Education Carolyn Keck Home Economics Karen Kehoe Business _ mm.

Ron Strawn rarely has time to rekix with friends. Strawn is waiching a men's soccer game at the Dedmon Center. Like a typical R.U. student, he gets up in the morning, prepares for class, eats breakfast, and heads out of his dorm room ready to face the day. closing the door behind him. His day as a typical R.U. student has just ended He takes a full academic load, is chairman of the executive council, meets regula'iy with Dr Dedmor, Dr. Hartman, Dr. Moore. Dean Huribert ana many other university cdmmistators, and oversees functions put on by various Radford committees. Chances are you've seen him rushing to class or a meeting, writing a proposal for a new policy or a policy change, conducting a seminar or preparing for one. delegating work, or, when time permits, relaxing with friends. This vivacious individual is S.G.A. President. Ron Strawn Since 1980, Ron has been involved with S.G.A. os vice president, working closely with the president. This year, he stepped up and accepted the responsibilities of president, a demanding and time consuming job. Radford's Student Government Association (S.G.A.) is the University's governing body which keeps students and faculty members in touch with each other. They partake in programs for the bettering of residential life, academic status, and community relations. These programs include: the book exchange, mock election mock debates, incorporation of c volunteer services p'o-grcm into S.G.A., revision of the alcohol policy, and sponsorship of the blood mobile. Being a member of S.G.A. means had work and the willingness to put in the extra time recuired to make the S.G.A. programs a success.

There's nothing to do here. “Afrer living in Northern Virginia (or Philadelphia, or New York, O' Florida] for 18 years, wow. what a culture shock! “Free me 'rom this place! Yet there must've been something about this quaint, backward little bu'gh that made it hard to say good-bye because a fai' amount of 198? graduates couldn't do it: they just hod to stay arouna a little while. Prime examples of this year: Tom Walthall and James “Butch Walton, proprietors of TJ's. the new and thriving deli and pub in downtown Radford. TJ's was started by these two R.U. business graduates and not only did it serve as an example of how thoroughly and professionally Radford's business department educa ted its students, it also served as oroof that perhaps Radford. Virginia isn't as dull as people say — not to mention the fact that TJ's helped make the town a little more exciting. There are other examples, too. like Don Whitesell, another R.U. business graduate who worked as night manager in Heth after he graduated. The tclk will probably a:ways be around, but every quarter's end will find Radford cnarming some R.U. gradu-a e into stick rg around for “just a little while . . Night shift.

They're all good end fine, the co-ed persisted, but they're net my reasons. My reason is exactly what! said. My sister goes here. 982-83 was a big yecr for siblings at Rcdford. Just glancing through the phone directories — county or campus — one could find lots of not-so-common last names in pairs. Some siblings - especially sisters — even chose to room together. One girl said of this arrangement: “I lived with her at home for 18 years, so I knew I could do it at school. One fellow whose brother attends Rcdford and whose older sister graduated from Rcdford a few yea-s ego explained the penchant for going to the same college as a sibing. Think of it, he said, You've got an automatic buddy to 'un to when the pressures of school get tc you, and it's someone who's known you all your life. It's a little bit of home away from home.

Living in dorms with hundreds of total strangers, living in institutional-type rooms with more strangers and sitting through classes where they were lucky to remember the professor's name much less the person beside them, freshmen's ability to endure the lonesome heartaches of moving away from home were tested. As time passed, so did that empty feeling. Friendships were formed, and in the process. R.U. began to feel more like home to its new residents. By senior year, it was home. At this point, they knew the best places to shop, to play, to eat, to study and to just hang out. The urinals'' of Muse became as familiar a sight as the old clock above the mantle at mom and dad's place. But just as it was beginning to really feel like home sweet home, it was time to pack up and move on Just as they touched the school, they took with them the memories school had given them, lessons indeligibly etched in their minds forever. 36 Closing Hard to get out.

Although almost everyone is a stranger during the first days here, by senior year most students have many trends to share special moments with. 366 Closing We're on the road again Four years ago (or five or six as the case may be), we packed our cars to the brim with all those possessions we simply couldn't bear to leave at home and hit the road to R.U. Along the way we met life-long friends, shared good and bad times, made the grades in academics and found a new home. Goodbyes are always more difficult than hellos, but it's a part of living and growing. On May 28,1983, the seniors of R.U. painfully said goodbye to people and places that occupied a special corner of their hearts. We bid farewell tc roommates, suitemates, classmates and parymates. We trudged along the corridors of Young, Preston, McGuffey, Porterfield, Powell and Reed for the last time, savoring happy memories. Finally, it was time to pack the old junker for the final trip out of Radford, Virginia and into a new world. The 1982-83 seniors were on the road again ...

Radford University offers a variety of classes to Its students. From anthropology to loology, there’s something for everyone. Many students, like John Kllday, pick off-campus life over residential life. However, most students live in one of R.U.’s 15 dorms.

I can only hope we’ve touched your life In some way. There are many people who touched this book. To Dr. Taylor, Charlie and the members of the Student Publications Committee: thanks for your confidence in me as a person and a student leader. To Frank and Brenda: thanks for keeping the books — you two know I can’t keep my own checkbook balanced. To Wade and Jennifer: you two were godsends.

That’s a promise. And finally, to Big Guy: thanks for the light. Terri Link Editor, Beehive 1983 When It rains, It pours. Children from the Nursery School moke the best of a rainy day.
