Bias 4 Opening A view from here The panoramic scene of Radford University from atop Muse offers a wide-angle view of our campus. Tucked in and nestled among the Blue Ridge mountains. Radford is an environment which stimulates creativity, curiosity and growth. The campus is architecturally designed to promote educational awareness. In the center of campus stands the fountain, and from this area of excitement and bustle the academic buildings branch out like spokes of a wheel. McConnell Library stands in the foreground of this frame, which is fitting for the symmetry of our campus. The focus this year was on renovating. improving and beautifying the campus. Whitt Hall was renovated. reopening fall quarter to house the business and economics departments. Remodeling and renovation also occyrred all over campus, making it more accessible to the handicapped. At the Ded-mon Center, parking lots were added, allowing freshmen to have cars on campus this year. An angel on my shoulder. Senior Cindy Sarko listens intently to the sounds of Mason Roller Line.

Students changing classes, a dog waiting for his master to finish in the library, skateboarders, bicyclists and people with walkmen all add to the composition. Two professors cross the campus anticipating a break and a cup of coffee in Heth. while circles of friends discuss plans for the upcoming weekend. This is just one of the many views Radford has to offer. The rest are captured in the snapshots and words within this book. Here at Radford University we are giving it our best shot! Study time.

A break in the routine Heth lawn was flooded with Radford University students May 4 from 4 to 7 p.m. They gathered to listen to the popular Northern Virginia band Dixie Suite. A “chicken and baked bean picnic had originally been planned, but was cancelled due to inclement weather. The southern rock band was still enjoyed by all. Songs such as Molly Hatchet's Gator Country.” Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and tunes from bands such as ZZ Top could be heard campus-wide. The crowd also enjoyed participating in leisurely sports while listening to the band. For some it was a chance to say good-bye. but for others it was chance to meet new friends. When asked her opinion of the spring picnic, freshman Susan Ashby commented that the long-awaited spring event served as a great opportunity to get out and mingle with other students. Other students agreed with her. saying that after a long, cold winter, it was nice to be able to see people on campus again. A yearning for summer was shared by many who attended the warm weather event, planned by Student Life. 10 Spring Picnic Chicken choosing.

Dr. Donald N. Dedmon, University President, spoke to students, faculty and guests about the importance of a college degree. Dedmon said that although higher education is costly, it is a worthy investment. He added, We know statistically that your investment will pay off. According to the latest figures I’ve seen, a bachelor’s degree is worth more than $329,000 in 1981 dollars in extra lifetime earnings for today's young men and about half that for women. The greatest gift a university can bestow, said the president, is to teach respect for one's ignorance because it and it alone can cause us to be less narrow and close The last hurrah.

According to Dedmon. the ideal university graduate is a loving, thinking and caring person. He said, Intelligence and ability to think are not enough. We must be able to love in the sense of humankind. For if you do not have the ability to love, I’m not sure you are ever able to be loved. Senior class president, Elliott Bender, told classmates graduation was a beginning as well as an end to the education process. It is like the carrot on a stick. Don't let your education stop here, but let this be the beginning of your educational process. Bender added, “If you apply what you have learned and have confidence in yourself, you can't go wrong in plotting out major goals for the rest of your life. 12 Graduation Take it from the top.

The smell of fried chicken and competition lingered over the crowd. It was time again for the annual spring carnival. Rows of games, food and club booths were set up along sidewalks adjacent to the fountain. There were games of skill and strength; lucky participants were awarded prizes. The more popular games included the dunking booth, and the high striker. The cotton candy stand also proved to be a popular attraction. For those who didn’t participate in the activities, the warm spring weather allowed time to escape studies for an informal social hour, filled with sun and good company. Scoping.

Spring Carnival 15 Presenting songs, sailors and stars The university’s 1983 guest theatre production last spring was H.M.S. Pinafore. The Gilbert and Sullivan play starred Bill Daily of I Dream Of Jeannie and Bob Newhart Show fame, along with Charlene Fisher of the Roanoke opera. The theatre, music and dance departments cooperatively produced the operetta, backed by an orchestra composed of music faculty and students. Dr. Pegeen Albig, Chairman of the dance department, choreographed the dances. Theatre students labored for six weeks on the elaborate set which was a naval ship. Assistant Professor of Theatre Carl Lefko designed the set, and supervised construction. Costumes were rented from a warehouse in New York. The play was a musical romance with an ironic twist at the end. At the opening of the play, two romances were introduced. First, the captain's daughter Josephine (Leslie Crowe) was in love with a sailor. Ralph (Bobby Buchanan). Josephine's father (Lloyd Zubriss). however, had already arranged a marriage between her and the First Lord of Admirality. played by Bill Daily. A second romance was introduced between the captain and a peddler named Little Buttercup (Charlene Fisher). Class pride stood in the way of the two romances. The action took a surprising turn around when Buttercup confessed that she had raised the two young men, and had accidentally gotten the babies mixed up. Ralph as it turned out was of the upper class, while the captain was not of such fortunate birth. This meant that the two couples were free to marry. What was the fate of our guest star? Well, he married his cousin. Confusing? It wasn’t once the cast superbly brought the story to life.

Pinafore 17 Dancin’ for Jerry’s kids A new location was found for the Muscular Dystrophy Superdance, proving more com-patable with the turn out and the successfulness of the event. The dance marathon was held at the Dedmon Center for the first time March 25 and 26. and lasted 28 hours. Both veterans and beginners put on their tennis shoes and danced the day and night away. With the dancers' enthusiasm and help from people around them, the MDA Superdance was more than a success. Proceeds totaled S8.000. The money, said Janet Sutton. MDA official, will help give Jerry's Kids comfort in the present and hope for the future. Special thanks goes to all the people who helped put the Muscular Dystrophy Association Superdance on its feet. The Inter-Fraternity Council handled this event for the first time, beginning organization as early as December. Dave Wolf. Superdance chairman, said he was trying to make it a bigger event than in the past. and through long hours of hard work his goal was reached. Radford University was very cooperative in donating food for the dancers and maintenance help. Budweiser Light sponsored the Embers Band and donated an assort- ment of large colorful posters. K-92 FM promoted the event with commercials, playing Embers” music and giving out free shirts. The MDA Superdance was a fund raiser and an enormous social event. Since the dance was held in the Dedmon Center, there was a lot of stress to get more people involved.” said Wolf. We hoped that if we had it there, it would draw a bigger crowd. And in the end it proved to be successful. Almost everyone who was involved in the dance last year was back, bringing friends along with them. Dancer or spectator, there was plenty to do. Contests added to the event. Blindfolded girls tried to determine by sense of touch which male had the hairiest chest. A toilet paper wrap' was held and the dancers had to wrap their partners from head to toe in a matter of seconds. The trick to complete coverage was allowing no visibility of the dancer. Added to the fun was an egg throwing” contest and a toothpick lifesavers relay. Exhaustion could be seen on some of the dancers' faces, but as one commented, When you see the kids sitting here watching you work for them, it makes it worth all the effort. Let’s dance.

MDA Supcrdance 19 Preparing for life at Radford Goodbye to the old and familiar, hello to the new and sometimes bizarre. For incoming freshmen and transfer students the transition from the old can be filled with fear and anxiety. Quest '83 was designed to make the transition smoother. “It is the first introduction to R.U. life for freshmen and transfers, said Dave Robertson, coordinator of Quest '83 and associate dean of students I really did not know what to expect of college life before coming to Radford and Quest really helped me a lot, said freshman Gail Anderson of Roanoke. Quest is an orientation to life at Radford for freshmen and transfer students. This year's program had five two day sessions which ran from June 19 through June 29 and included 450 transfer students and 2,750 freshmen. The program is staffed by 23 outstanding upperclassmen representing different majors and interests and 20 faculty members who served as academic advisors, said Robertson. “While here they (the students) were treated to a humorous and informative speech by Dr. Dedmon, tours of the campus and a delightful series of skits depicting university life presented by the Quest assistants,” said Robertson. Also during their stay students received aca- demic advising and registered for fall quarter classes. They also got a chance to meet university officials. New to this year's Quest '83 program was the Questions series that continued into the fall. The university felt an on going orientation was needed to help students with a lot of things that occurred after they got here. A series of programs designed to familiarize new students was held the first four days prior to the beginning of classes. Attendance at the more than 60 sessions was 2,100 students. The sessions were on a wide variety of topics. The topics included: how to build a loft, getting involved in campus activities, opportunities in athletics, how to buy and sell books at the SGA book exchange and getting involved in a campus ministry. The students have really appreciated Questions, said Robertson. “Quest and Quesf'ions is a major effort of almost all offices of the university. It is an example of a big effort to make the students’ lives better, said Robertson. Quest '83 was very successful in getting students involved in campus activity. The program is worth all the effort when it is apparent the transition from the old and familiar does not always lead to the new and sometimes bizarre. Quest assistant Ellen Patton helped familiarise incoming freshmen and transfer students to the Radford campus. 20 Quest Quest assistant Cindy Gray discusses campus lile with a Quest 83 participant.

Students use their innovation to create more comfortable and attractive dorm rooms. 22 Moving In Radford invasion Every September thousands of young men and women invade the town of Radford hauling oddities such as deerheads, moldy couches, trunks and lampshades. Is this the yearly Radford flea market? No. it's just that time again when R.U. students move back onto campus. It is always a fascinating sight to see how the students lug all the junk they bring from home to Radford. Some rent U-Hauls. some use the family's old faithful station wagon that is on its last rim and some even have the courage to manage with just. VW bug. The most endearing sight out of all this chaos is the patience and strength, both mental and physical, that the parents of the students endure throughout the whole exhausting ordeal. By the time the last pieces of baggage are carried to the students rooms, disgruntled and weary looks from drained moms and dads are prevalent. Little blurbs such as, Well when I was in college all I brought were my blankets, books and BVDs. can be heard from fathers whose daughters brought their giant stuffed animals that obstructed vision from the rear view mirror. Moms can be heard gently, and sometimes not so gently, hinting at the prospects of going to Golden Corral to avoid eating another Big Mac on the way home. The real fun of moving in starts when mom and dad drive away. Trying to move the old couch borrowed from Aunt Tilly's attic up three flights of stairs is yet another fun' adventure of the moving in process. Rearranging the room so that there are proper acoustics for one's stereo speakers can also be quite a tricky chore. Maybe one of these days an innovative business student may start a student move in service.” It's an idea anyway.

Strolling through the Alumni Gardens, these alumni took part in the reception held thero Saturday morning During this special weekend, many old friendships wc'O renewed by the young at heart among a umni. 24 Hcmeconmg A weekend of reminiscing It was an exciting night of reminiscing and reunion for the class of 1933, when they gathered in the Radford Room on September 30 for the Golden 50th Reunion dinner. Ten alumni and six guests showed up for the feast which included baked ham. Peas a la Grecque. stuffed baked potatoes and a grapefruit and avacado salad. Director of Alumni Affairs. Jenny Doud and alumna Alice Pedigo Cerbarich of Richmond organized the reunion and directed the dinner. It’s so much fun because you get to meet these ladies and find out that Radford really means a lot to them,’’ Doud said. There was an exhibit set up from the McConnell Library Archives for all to enjoy. Each class member was given an R.U. scarf and a photograph of the campus as it was in the 1930s, compliments of the R.U. Alumni Association. This was the third year Radford has had a Golden Reunion and “everyone really had a wonderful time. Doud said. Before everyone sat down to dinner, rose wine was served and people had a chance to mingle and renew old friendships. A group picture of alumni was also taken. Some alumni brought scrap books and picture albums which provided added entertainment. After dinner, each was given the opportunity to tell a little about themselves, such as what they'd been doing since graduation, and what Radford meant to them. Referring to the changes on campus. These alumni mingle during the reception in Muse hall Saturday evening. The Homecoming Buffet and Awards Presentation followed. Elsie Calhoun, graduate of 1932, said. I'm real proud about what's happened here. One alumna recalled that there must have been no more than 400 people, total, attending the college then ... and NO CARS! In 1932. Russell hall was new. McConnell library had just been dedicated and most classes were taught in Whitt hall. The dating rules were strict. A girl couldn’t go on blind dates, she had to know the caller. All gentlemen congregated in a big reception room in Russell Hall and a receptionist notified the girls that their dates had arrived. Only then could the girls come down and begin their dates. If girls went downtown shopping during the day. they had to be back on campus before the whistle blew at 6 p.m., or else! Some alumni and guests came from as far as Fairfax. Va. and Kingsport. Tenn. Others were from Christiansburg. Blacksburg. Roanoke and Radford. Among them were Blanche Daniel, who taught education in 1933 and Sue Averil Dalton, a retired home economics teacher who still lives in the same house in Radford in which she lived when she attended Radford College. The first of the alumni showed up at 6 p.m., with the dinner scheduled at 6.30 p.m. and the last departed at about 9:30 p.m. Many stayed for the rest of homecoming weekend and attended various activities such as the alumni reunion luncheon on Saturday. Hcmecomirg 25 Parents witness campus life first hand Parent's Weekend not only gives students the chance to show their parents the campus but also to introduce them to the culture of Radford This year’s display of cljbs and organizations occurred October 14-16. The air cracklec with excitement as students geared themselves for arrival of parents. Rooms were spotless and many friends were jealous of their peers whose families we'e making the trip to Radford Many of the dorms sponsored decorating committees. Dorms Muse Hall became downtown London and Norwood Hall, the Big Apple. Floyd Hall was transformed into a house of horror and Stuart Hall was disguised as an international airport. One passerby marvelled. This is great. I feel like the whole campus has changed. Many clubs held fund raising sales. The Cotillion Club and AXP's little sisters each hosted plant sales. The Society of Collegiate Journalists held their annual apple butter brew, an attraction for not only people seeking apple butter, but also the ever present flies. While sales were a prominent point of the weekend, other groups used the opportunity to show their specific skills. Both Friday and Saturday nights the Marlins presented their rendition of The Sound of Music. It was really well done. I liked the way they adapted the synchronized swimming to the music, said freshmen Heide Bruno. Events included the Redcoats equestrian show. The crowd gathered early on Muse lawn to get a good view of the graceful horses. Another attraction for the parents was a fashion show featuring fashions designed by students. On Sunday. Dr. Donald N. Dedmon hosted a lunch which gave parents a chance to meet the president. and later in the afternoon the Highlander Band presented a concert. The club sales and shows along with the participation of the students and their parents helped to make parent s weekend successful and enjoyable.

Quarterflash: a concerted effort Contemporary rock group Quarterflash staged an hour and a half performance before an audience of approximately 1100 October 16 in Preston Auditorium. The doors were opened sometime after 8 p.m. Students waited patiently outside — tne line stretched to Young Hall. Once inside ticket holders quickly headed for their seats in anticipation of the show. At 8:45. Robin Kane, concerts co-chairperson, introduced New York comedian Mark Schiff, a surprise opening act. Schiff began with the typical jokes about the small size of Radford. Then he quickly established rapport with the mostly student audience by joking about growing up. living with parents and sex. After an intermission, the lights dimmed, the crowd mel- ted and Quarterflash took the stage. Rindy Ross, lead singer and saxophonist, was an instant hit. Everytime the sax touched her lips the crowd applauded and gave her their undivided attention. After opening with 'Valerie. and welcoming the crowd. Quarterflash went into Right Kind of Love, a popular song from their first album. The crowd instantly recognized the first few chords of Find Another Fool. and enthusiastically clapped and sang along. Further into the performance, the band introduced several songs from their new album. Take Another Picture, including the title track. Make It Shine and Take Me to Heart, and Run to Love. One of the highlights of the evening occurred when three men. wearing trench coats. hats, and dark sunglasses strutted across the stage encouraging audience participation to Shake It. The always popular fog effect created by dry ice made the scene reminiscent of an old spy movie. Quarterflash seemed to be reading the crowd s need to get up and about after sitting for over two hours. Near the end of the concert, Ms. Ross invited everyone to come to the front. After a rousing rendition of Harden My Heart the band indicated it was time to leave, but first they had to stop and Take Another Picture. of the audience. While singing, they snapped polaroids of themselves and the audience, then they threw them out to the masses of outstretched arms. Three encores were given, including the theme from Nightshift, at which time Ross said, Now we know where Virginia is. According to Keith Keiper. co-adviser of Student Life, the total cost to stage the concert was Si 9,500. Schiff s fee was Si ,000; cost of sound and lighting was S2.500; labor, hospitality and publicity ran $4,500 and Quarterflash cost Si 1.500. Keiper said there wasn't a single incident involving security, which was jointly handled by students and the campus police. Keiper commended the efforts of the concert committee and the teamwork of chairpersons Robin Kane and Steve Kowalewski. He also attributed the success of the concert to the road crew and band, who were very easy to work with. 28 Quarterflash Lead singer Rmdy Ross sings Find Another Fool tor the audience ot 1100 in Preston.

This three-act comedy, written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, has received the Pulitzer Prize for best play of its season and an Academy Award for its movie version. Dr. James Hawes, chairman of Radford's theater department, directed the play, shown on Parent's Weekend and the following week from October 18-22 in Porterfield Theater. The setting was a two-story house in New York City in the early summer of 1936. just before the Depression. The play centered around an eccentric family who didn't conform to society's rule. The star of the show, art professor Noel Lawson, played Grandpa Vanderhof. head of the household. Grandpa is one of the most normal and sensible characters in the play, and his presence is what determines the play's theme. He has some eccentricities. such as hunting snakes, making a hobby of attending commencement exercises. and ignoring his income tax payments. but he's basically a calm, congenial, down-to-earth character. Grandpa is a man who wants to enjoy life. His motto is to be happy while you can be happy. He has been out of work for 35 years because one day he decided to leave his job and never return. ' How many people would be willing to settle when they're young for what they get? All those plans we made, what ever happened to them? I think there's only a few that can say they even came close.” said Grandpa. The world's not so crazy; it's just the people in it. Things would be fine if people would just relax. he said. The main plot of the play is the conflict that arises between the impoverished and eccentric Sycamore family and the rich, stuffy, and sophisticated Kirby family. Alice Sycamore works as secretary for Kirby Associates. Anthony Kirby is vice-president of the company. The two meet and fall in love. They plan to get married, but when their families meet, sparks fly. The differences between the two families nearly ruin the relationship, but Grandpa comes to the rescue. He makes Tony's father realize that money isn't everything. Said Grandpa. You've got all the money you need, and you can't take it with you. He told Mr. Kirby to relax, and asked, ' Why do you think you have indigestion? it certainly doesn't come from happiness. In one scene. Tony defended the Sycamores to his family and described them as a real family, a family that loves and understands each other. When Mr. Kirby sees this, he finally agrees to let the two get married. Janice Moore played the part of Alice, and Doug Osborn played the role of Tony. Dane Peake and Mary Markham portrayed the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Kirby. Other major characters in the play were Debbie Williams, who plays Mrs. Penny Sycamore (a flighty housewife who is always writing plays); Tyler Barden, who played Mr. Paul Sycamore (makes and sells illegal fireworks): Krista Boyer, who payed Alice's sister Essie (an amateur ballet dancer); Tim Pendleton played Essie's husband Ed (a printer); Crystal Lavender played Reba (the maid); Ronnie Tate played Rheba's boyfriend Donald; Barry Delany played Boris Kolenhov (Essie's Russian ballet teacher); and Dr. Harold Mann, a history professor played Mr. De Pinna (a friend of the Sycamores).

He had a calculator on his belt, and a Band-Aid on his hornrimmed glasses. He had a problem counting out 50 cents from his change purse for a beer. Who was this nerd? Just like exam week, some students began preparing and worrying weeks before the event. Others didn't begin preparations until hours before. A very few didn't bother at all. Some characters appeared on Friday, starting with the Third Annual Art Guild Halloween Ball at the Bus Stop. It wasn't until Saturday Oct. 29 however that the festivities officially began at the Alpha Sigmu Tau Halloween dance in Heth Ballroom. Radford University was visited by such celebrities as: Papa Smurf and the Smurf-ettes. The Pillsbury Dough Boys, the Mafia, a few spies, representatives from the senior citizen community, the Whiners, several streetwalkers, Gumby and Pokey, a bathing beauty contestant, a host of transvestites, life guards in case anyone drowned in beer, and of course the usual monsters and downright ugly faces. Oh, we mustn't forget the ... Killer Bees! Senior Barry Sweeny spent $50 for his Gumby and Pokey costumes. He said. Well I figured it was my senior year and i d go all out. After the dance in Heth Hall, some off-campus parties began at the bewitching hour, midnight. Parties with floating doll bodies — arms, legs and heads accompanied with apples, were the rage. A tew tattered bunnies and a weary Mr. T. crept back home Sunday morning. Those who weren't worn out from Friday and Saturday joined Phi Sigma Kappa at Sackett's for their Halloween party. Halloween wasn't just for partying. Like any other holiday, it was used to generate extra cash for charity or profit. Several different groups sold pumpkins, the Avec Movement (Radford University Dance Club) rented Halloween costumes, and the drama honorary society Alpha Psi Omega held a make-up session. Delta Zeta and Phi Sigma Kappa went trick-or-treating for canned goods for the Food Bank. 32 Halloween The killer bees.

Daytime presentations were also held for school age children. Even though the play was written for a younger audience, playgoers ol all ages seemed to enjoy the performance. Overall 2000 people saw the play. The setting was in an old abandoned inn. The play began with a sailor, played by Tyler Barden who set an atmosphere of suspense. The play related the lives of an old man and his wife,- played by Tim Pendleton and Debbie Williams. The couple live in poverty, a fact which made the old woman very bitter. The action began when the sailor left his bird the couple cared for. Unfortunately, since the couple barely had enough food to eat, the bird died of starvation. The couple bantered back and forth about the death of the poor bird, while a storm raged outside. A knock was heard at the door, and the theatre darkened. When the lights were turned back up. the audience caught their first view of the play’s namesake, a huge black bird. The old man took a liking to the magical tingalary bird, which gave him courage to stand up to his bitter wife. The bird constantly chanted. Tell him where it is. The bird somehow knew that the old woman had a collection of gold coins hidden away from her husband. The bird soon disappeared and the old woman denied the money's existence. The fact remained that she had admitted possessing the fortune It seemed as if the audience, especially the children, believed that the kind bird had been real. The old man was able to re-open the inn. and welcome the company of his friends. Since no curtain was used in the play, the audience became more closely involved. After the performance. the children appeared especially awed by the costume of the tingalary bird, played by Pam Ladd Tim Pendleton and Debbie Williams, portraying a poor couple, starred in the Tingalary Bird.

This was the second of four fine arts galas that were offered this year. 36 Christmas Gala A spectacular way to celebrate Christmas On the evening of December 8, Radford University was filled with special sights, sounds and smells. The sidewalks were lined with lit candles. — Heth Ballroom was full of the aroma of baked bread, and the Kent Gallery was overflowing with people enjoying wine, cheese and conversation. What was the occasion? The Christmas Gala. It involved a student art show at Kent Gallery and performances by the music, theatre and dance departments in Preston Auditorium. The Christmas Spectacular utilized the talents of 145 students and faculty. Among the various performances were Dance of the Mirlitons from the Nutcracker. featuring members of the dance department; readings from A Christmas Carol done by the RU Theatre Players; Twas the Night Before Christmas sung by the RU Singers; and performances by the University Flute Choir. Brass Quintet and the Highlander Band as well. The Christmas Spectacular was second of four galas presented at RU last year. Each consisted of an art exhibit and a show in Preston Auditorium by one or all of the fine arts departments The galas were the brain children of Dean of Fine Arts. Dr. Bennett Lentczner who developed the idea for doing them over a year ago. Dr. Lentczner thought of doing the galas as a way to bring the various fine arts departments together. He also believed the performances were successful because they were received by the Radford Community. Dr. Robert Richards of the music department believed that Radford had everything to gam from such performances, saying that RU provides many social and community activities for the area. Dr. Lentzner plans to have two to three galas next school year. The hard work put into the galas, by both students and faculty, certainly contributed to their success. The galas in the future should be just as spectacular. The Christmas Spectacular was held in Preston Auditorium. The fine arts departments banded together to produce the gala. Christmas Gala 37 38 Dance Theatre Dance Theatre — Graceful The Radford University Dance Department opened their 1984 season in fine form as they presented Dance Theatre in Concert' on January 19-21. While the temperature was dipping down into the teens, the student dancers were busy inside Preston Auditorium burning up the stage. The production was undertaken by three choreographers and twenty dancers and resulted in three wonderful performances of the four piece show. The first piece called Secular Songs was choreographed by dance department chairperson, Pegeen Albig, and included the music of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana . It was comprised of Dr. Albig's favorite music and dance selections. The dancers performed a modern, barefoot dance with subtle religious undertones. The second piece, arranged by Mary Pat Balkus. was entitled Liquid Glass . This pioce was a ballet which contained some beautiful traditional movements. The dancers were dressed in the palest green and resembled graceful, flowing clouds. The second act seemed to be a direct contrast to the first as it was emotionally much lighter. Dance of Marosszek had the dancers in what resembled European folk costumes, dancing European folk dances. Ms. Balkus also choreographed this number, as well as. making the costumes. The last piece of the evening was the most memorable, as it was fast-paced and exciting from beginning to end. Guest choreographer. Gary Master, out of the Julliard School in New York arranged this dance entitled “Like a Corps of Dancers Gone Mad . It presented an objective view of a dance rehearsal, and looked like well choreographed chaos The dancers go through their warm- Alan Arnett and partner dance a pas de deux in the Dance of Marosszek.

The entire dance was dynamic and wonderful to watch. Gary Masters, who was commissioned by the Radford Special Projects Committee certainly gave us our money's worth with the bizarre piece. The dancers themselves also did justice to all three choregraphers work and should be heartily commended. The dancers included: Alan Arnett. Catherine Cavallaro. Michelle Doran. Melissa Du'Tey.

It was a year for the re-emergence of the American fighting man. U.S. warships cruised in tne waters off Lebanon and Central America. Lebanon became an even bloodier scene after the October 23 bombing incident, which left 218 U.S. Marines. 18 sailors and three soldiers dead. And the fighting went on. The fighting did stop in one corner of the world, however, after U.S. troopers secured Grenada. One controversial war was won. but it left 19 Americans dead and 44 wounded. Amid the dust and death of battle, people all over the world joined hands to stop the Nukes. In October, a 65-mile human chain of more than 200.000 West Germans stretched from Stuttgart to New-Ulm to protest the installment of nine Pershing II missies. Demonstrations were also held in Britain and Italy, while Americans viev ed The Day After, a TV program that portrayed life as it might be after a nuclear holocaust. Peace activists had heroes to look to for support this year. Among these, Lech Walesa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A Martin Luther King. Jr. day was named commemorating the black civil rights 'eader and ■ Ghandi,” the movie about the peace acitivist won high acclaim and seven Academy awards. Women were in the limelight this year, including Dr. Sally Ride who became America's first woman in orbit and Vanessa Williams, the first black Miss America. Top entertainer Michael Jackson had the looks, the voice and all the right moves to produce three top videos on MTV. His album Thriller was the top LP of the year. MTV became the years biggest entertainment news. The cable station provided 24-hour music television to 17.5 million homes. Torn fashions — as featured in the popular movie Flashdance were the rage, including oversize sweatshirts revealing plenty of shoulder beneath ripped necklines. Shades of the 50 s appeared in the form of the expensive Ray Ban and Vuarnet sunglasses — the must-have accessories of the year. And the most desirable gift under the Christmas tree this year was the Cabbage Patch Kid. The cute loveable dolls may have reflected America's return to having babies. More than three million women produced live dolls this year. This RaCfofd co-ed models the tom fashions made famous by the move.

Every time they went to classes they were reminded of the ever present push to get started writing those papers due soon or the tests coming up. Eventually all the deadlines and tests seemed to bury students and pressure them to the point that they had to get out of their immediate surroundings to a place where they could just let go. The location of Radford University is really good because there are several places in this area to provide pressure outlets. Wanna go to the lake?” was a very familiar saying heard around campus the first weeks of fall quarter and especially in the spring. The lake referred to. of course, was Claytor Lake, which is approximately 25 minutes away in Claytor Lake State Park. Probably the most favorite pastime at the lake was to just lie out in the sun and to go swimming with a bunch of friends; even though one had to climb over the fence to get to the beach on the lake! Boating on the lake was popular too. Evidence of the laKe experience was seen on the red sunburned faces and bodies of those who went. Nothing beats sitting in a huge inner tube and letting the waters of the New River swish by one’s arms and legs dangling over the sides of the tube. Tubing as it is called, was popular at places such as McCoy's Falls and New River Junction, both of which are not far from the campus. Tubing was great because it enabled groups of people to gather together to have fun, as some people in Muse found out fall quarter. For those people who had transportation, energy, and equipment, the Cascades was the place to be. The Cascades. in Giles county, was the best place to go for a weekend or maybe just overnight for a little bit of hiking, camping and just plain getting away from it all. The main essentials to take were a good pair of hiking boots, a backpack filled with munchies as well as a change of necessary clothing, and a cooler packed with refreshments. The trail up to the falls along Stony Creek wasn't bad as long as refreshments were kept inside the cooler! Camping wasn't allowed on the trails or near the water, but ideal camping spots could be found if one looked hard enough. Within walking distance of the campus is Wildwood Park, located beside the New River. The park has trails aiong the river as well as a path for joggers It was a great place to relax, especially if students didn’t have formal means of transportation! Environment 45 Chris Nelson is bleached-out for the birthday party held in her honor. An innovative way to party Men dressed up as pimps, women in high heeled shoes with skirts that barely make Band-Aid material, white sheets wrapped around bare bodies, bandanas tied around heads, necks, and thighs, people trotting around in OP shorts, sandals and gaudy flowered shirts, people wearing sailor hats, balloon hats, skull caps, painter hats, good grief what is going on here? Are these people refugees from insane asylums? Nooo. these are the types of get ups one must wear to attend a pimp and hooker party, toga party, bandana party, beach party and hat party. These are just a sampling of the types of theme parties that are popular with Radford University students. Most of these parties are campus-wide, held in Heth Ballroom. Some themes such as the pimp and hooker parties and the toga parties are specialties of fraternities and sororities. The pimp and hooker parties are sometimes held to collect money for charity organizations. The girls dressed as hookers go around asking for money as well as the guys dressed as pimps. The toga parties made popular by the cult film 'Animal House are usually a good excuse to get rowdy on weekends. The Beach Parties are a blast to go to. They are usually held in the dead of winter to chase away the blahs people acquire after seeing too much snow. Artificial palm trees, ocean scenes, legs that are now white from lack of sun are common. Beach music is played as plastic leis dangle from necks that are sweaty from shag dancing. Bandana parties are basically self-explanatory. You wear a bandana to the party and you get a discount on the regular price to get in. Chartruese. fucshia. pink, baby blue, black, red. they come in all colors and are worn just about anywhere on the body. The hat dances are similar to the bandana parties because if you wear a hat you get a discount on the regular price to get in Some of the hats that could be seen were unique. There were ones made out of balloons, newspaper, and beer caps. There were also the conventional ones such as Australian hats, painters caps, and straw hats. 46 Theme Parties Cindy Sarko and J.J. Phillips show oft their appropriate attire for the “boxer short party. 47 ' Where have you been? Shopping. Wait until you see the cute shirt that I picked up. Hey that's really nice, but why the scissors? You don't think I'd wear this out the door before trimming it up do you?” Cuttin up your clothes was as essential to Looking good as personal hygiene during the 1983-84 school year. Along with the Flash-dance Look, which followed the hit motion picture, there were representatives of many other fads apparent on campus. Sweatshirts definitely became an art form. Coeds trimmed, sheered, split and stretched the old favorite to accommodate night and day wear. First of all the sleeves had to go. later the neckline and finally they were cut off to prenavel proportions. Flattering to some, many unfortunate conformists merely looked as if they had stayed too long at the concession stand, and missed the Flashdance” mind set entirely. Tonia Dunn, a junior fashion merchandising major, admitted her weakness for fads. Although Dunn didn't see the movie, she picked up the look from other students. “I usually try to make my own version of a fad to suit myself, she said. According to Dunn, she uses the look for evening to some extent, with knee length sweat shirts, but feels more comfortable with the look in the dorm. Dunn explained. It dresses me up “Flashdance,” during athletic activity. I feel that it’s loose comfortable and free. Perhaps the most extreme and least practiced mode of dressing could be found in the punk or new wave look. Individuals resembling London's youth could literally be scattered across a continuing of extremes. Many chose only mini skirts or a sculptured haircut, while a few considered the look a mindset in itself, thus reflecting it from head to toe. Stephen Hill, a freshman theater major, considered the look an attitude. beginning his following in the seventh grade, as a fan of the punk rock group. The Sex Pistols. He could be seen daily around campus, sporting a leather jacket, complete with concert buttons, a hair cut far from conventional, and at times make-up. According to Hill. If a person sees you and you are too open, there's no mystery. People get an idea of what I stand for, like and believe in. Expressing a total dislike of media treatment of the look, Hill explained that the term new wave wasn't in his vocabulary. According to Hill the look is based on music and very personal. If everyone started dressing the way they did. we would have to find something else. I want to be me and that's it. We aren't trying to convert this place.” he said Surely, dressing unconventionally lends itself to criticism, but according to Hill, I want to be an actor, and I have to get used to criticism. People s 48 Fashtonsfods Preppy and Punk live comments and stares are just forms of it.” Hill referred to his leather jacket as a basic necessity of life Leslie Sherman, a sophomore Latin and English major, also turned some heads with her choice of wardrobe, but agreed with Hill in disliking its treatment as a fad. Like Hill, she began dressing modern . as she chose to describe herself, in 1980. I’m not selfconcious about it. I’m most comfortable this way. and it’s fun to get attention. said Sherman. When asked how she felt about how the origins of punk related to its treatment in the U.S., Sherman said. Nothing in the U.S. can compare to it. I feel that we are. however, extreme for this town. Kilts, monogrammed sweaters and loafers were also a part of day-to-day campus life, as they have been for many years. Although being preppy' isn't a hot fad as it was a short time ago. many still chose to stick to the classics. According to Sherry Fischer, junior speech and political science major, I used to like the term, but now I just prefer the conservative look. I'm a conservative type and I feel that it makes a statement about my personality. Expressing a dislike for the association of preppy with loud colors. Fischer said, I get into classic designs and plain basic colors. Staying immune from the campus influence of trendiness, Fischer explained. I think the new wave clothes are cute, but they wouldn’t look good on me. People tend to think that preppies are obnoxious, but fashion choice is just a matter of personal preference. While some viewed fashion choice as a matter of personal preference, still others were beyond mere classification. They took on a chameleon type quality, changing merely to suit themselves. One could have chanced a category title of fashion nil, but even that would have been stretching it. Jennifer Keen, a junior journalism major, refers to herself as a scavenger. According to Keen. I love to go to second stores. I’ve purchased several tweed jackets for as little as $3.50. Often seen in army fatigues and a sweat shirt (uncut of course). Keen explained. ”1 was raised to just dress the way that I wanted to. Fads die hard, and you end up spending a lot of money. Some girls are slaves to fashion. According to Keen following fads shows a lack of confidence and truth in oneself.” Considering herself to be a laid-back person. Keen said The clothes that I wear reflect my personality. In the university setting, everyday was like a fashion show. It was easy to pick out representatives. but still more interesting was to step inside the closet, behind the leather jackets, sweat shirts and loafers, and listen. Denim jackets, tes. shades and Vans are part of the fashion craze at R.U. Tonia Dunn. Kelly Gilliam. Shorry Fischer. Losiie Sherman.

Are they anything like sun spots? Well, ro not exactly. Night spots are those places where college students go to have fun. Radford is not exactly a swinging metropolis. but it does have some spots” that really roar after a week of going to classes, taking exams, writing papers or any other activity that may not be number one on the thrill chart. There are different modes of excitement that each of these night spots produces. This is not to say that one is more exciting or is better than another, it's just that they have different atmospheres. For example, of one is in a Jell-state, or if the thought of trying to force oneself into making silly chit chat with people one doesn’t know isn't appealing, then BT's is the place to go. BT's is a place where one can go with people one already knows — most people call them friends. One can order a cold beer without the unnecessary clawing and climbing over the bar for service. At BT's. one can talk to friends without fear of ear damage or a hoarse throat. There are also the middle of the road night spots. Middle of the road night spots are places which are not too exciting, but that do provide a bit more social action than say BT's. The Highland room is a middle of the roader. One can go with friends, yet also have the option of mingling with others. The music is also a bit louder than your average run of the mill uh. restaurant or whatever. At the Highland room, one is always bound to see a familiar face, which is comforting if one chooses to go alone. And if playing quarters is one's game, then for heaven's sake. run. do not walk through to the Highland room. If ioud music is tolerable for one's ears, if having someone dump their beer on one's favorite rugby shirt, if wading in a foot of beer and if clawing one's way up to the bar for a beer sounds like a thrilling night, the VFW will be a godsend. Drinking and trying to see who is talking to whom is basically what the activities of the VFW are all about. Forget trying to socialize. Socialization in our culture usually means talking and unless one is well versed in sign language, then perhaps one should give a second thought about going. The VFW is definitely not for the wimpy of heart. A rowdy mood is a must for this night spot. The Bus Stop can be mellow, rowdy. or whatever depending on the night. The Bus Stop is Home of The Strokers. Sure the boys claim they are from Richmond, but in actuality their true home is at the Bus Stop. There are a variety of activities the Bus Stop has including video nights. Wet Wednesdays and live band nights. Sackett's. or as the nostalgic people still call it. The Depot, is literally what some people live for. Excellent dancing music and lack of room are what Sackett’s is all about. Face it. Sackett's is fun to go with a group of friends for the purpose of dancing and maybe having a beer or two or three or ... Heck if you want to meet your future mate, go to Hardee's. And speaking of Hardee's, this is the most under rated night spot of them all. C’mon — where would one be if one could not munch down on a ham biscuit and Coke after dancing one's buns off at Sackett's? We all would be lost without Hardee's to go to after the escapades at the night spots! 50 Night Spots This group enjoys the band at Sackett s.

The instructors. Major Robert Applehans, Captain William VanDeusen and Master Sergeant Yulee, place no obligations upon the students until their junior year. During the first two years, students learn the role of ROTC and its career opportunities. They are taught U.S. military philosophy, leadership. motivation and ethics. If students believe that a career as an officer will be rewarding, they may continue the program. As juniors, students are provided skills to serve as leaders at the squad and platoon levels. They learn map read- Before I joined the program, I had little confidence in myself. I always thought that my role in life was to follow not to lead.

This knowledge is incorporated with several interesting leadership labs, such as tactics and land navigation. The tactics lab was held in October at the area surrounding Rich Hill Stables. This lab taught the students offensive and defensive tactics. In October, juniors had a compass course with Virginia Tech's ROTC unit. Students were taught how to successfully uso a compass to find their way through dense terrain. The final year prepares students for service as commissioned officers in the Army. They study techniques of military instruction, combat operations, analysis of leadership and management problems, as well as military law. They are also instructed in ways to build effective enlisted relationships. Seniors plan and prepare the physical conditioning program and all field training labs for the underclassmen. ROTC prepares students for successful, high paying jobs as officers in the army. Career opportunities which are offered include: infantry officers, club managers, positions in supplies and doctor's and nursing positions.

The first program was staded in 1938 when the university was still known as Radford State Teacher’s College. The presence of girls clad in riding habits and horses isn't as apparent now, but the program is still alive and developing. Rich Hill Training Center, the 600-acre farm located east of campus, currently houses the riding facilities. According to Nancy Eakin Patterson Barber, physical education instructor and a student of the first riding class here, the horses were first kept in the basement of a house located across the street from the campus library between Norwood Street and the railroad. The riding students had use of one ring, which was west of the stables. According to Barber, they rode hunters, participated in jumping, and received physical education credit for it. The first riding club, composed of four students from the school, was started in 1938. It was known as the Boots and Saddle Club. The girls would participate in a patterned type of riding, going one behind the other over the jumps. Barber, a charter member of the club, spoke of some of the club's activities, including: trail and moonlight rides, picnics and horseshows. At that time, the students (along with some faculty members) were permitted to ride across campus. Later, riders and horses were ferried across the New River. At the conclusion of the ride, dinner was served. The club's first horse show was conducted solely by riding students. The girls would make their own ribbons, numbers and programs. According to Barber, they didn't have trophies back then, so local merchants would donate prizes. When we did our own things we had a lot of fun. We didn't have the best horses or ribbons, but we did have a good time. Competition against others makes you strive harder,” she said. The first annual Radford Horse Show, sponsored by the college and the Kiwanis Club, was held in 1940. The team competed against teams from Hollins College and Virginia Tech. That same year, said Barber, the team conducted a May Day celebration, where Washington Hall is located. They portrayed Spaniards riding to meet the Indians to smoke the peace pipe. The riding program was dissolved at the start of World War II, when their instructor joined the army. It was revived in September, 1969 under direction of Greek C. Neff. It proved very successful, and the Radford Redcoats were later added as a drill team consisting of eight girls from the advanced jumping class who appeared in horse shows, parades and demonstrations. They wore bright red jackets that are still seen today. the program again faced an uncertain fate when the university decided to sell the farm. It was later purchased by Heidi Ericksen, who currently serves as an instructor and director of the center. According to Ericksen. the university appointed her and some others to find alterna- tives. She now works on a contractual basis with the university. Forty horses are boarded on the 600-acre farm and 150 lessons are conducted weekly. According to Ericksen, summer enrollment is lower, so day camps are taught. School shows are also conducted by the riding students throughout the year. Juggling her role as instructor and professional horsewoman, Ericksen is preparing for possible Olympic level competition in the near future. She took one horse to the number two position in the nation when she first arrived at Rich Hill. According to Ericksen. We have developed horses that have gone to the national level for six or seven years now. Ericksen stressed that recreational riders are not pushed, but listed her personal goal, saying, I'm always looking for the student whom I can coach to the top levels of competition. I feel that I must get there first, so that's why I'm working very hard now. Ericksen has also managed to keep the Redcoats alive, but has changed the format of the program. In the past, the team was listed in the university catalogue as a class. Ericksen changed it to an extracurricular activity. I decided to make no actual one team.

Rich Hill Riding Program i 9 Speaking a different culture Hello! How are you? This familiar greeting takes on a new twist in Porterfield Hall where the foreign language department is located. The foreign language students learn to express the phrase as: Hola. Co'mo estas? “Bon-jour! Comment allez-vous? Or even. Guten tag! Wie es geht Ihnen? In a foreign language class, students must learn the meanings of the strange sounds coming out of the professor’s mouth. They must learn to read strange looking words which have even stranger looking accent marks over and under them, and they must learn to pronounce these strange sounding words by spending hours practicing out loud. Learning a language involves classroom work, homework. and spending time in the language lab in McConnell Library. Students listen to tapes specially designed to increase aural comprehension of the spoken language. One advantage of listening to the tapes is the opportunity of hearing the language spoken by people other than professors. Dr Bernadine Banning, a Spanish professor and chairman of the foreign language department said. The students are exposed to other accents. We don't want to teach a student to understand only the teacher that they have. The study of a language includes the study of a foreign culture and the mechanics behind the language itself. Dr. Banning said. One of the most important aspects of learning a language is the ability to break out of the confines of your language and your culture. Students are motivated to study languages for several reasons. While some wish to earn a major or minor in Spanish. French. German, or Latin, others take a language purely as an elective, with hopes of traveling. For students seeking a Bachelor of Arts degree. 18 quarter hours of one foreign language are required. The appeal of learning a foreign language isn’t limited to undergraduate students. Dr. Charles Kugler. a biology professor. and Dr. Richard Murphy, an English professor, began studying French during fall quarter. One of Dr. Kugler’s interests in the language pertains to his work as a taxonomist (a classifier of animals and plants) in that he needs to be able to converse with French-speaking colleagues in other countries His other interest is a personal desire to learn the language. I’m taking a language now because I know I need it. he said. “I know to be an informed. educated person in this world, you've got to be able to speak more than one language. Dr. Murphy explained his reasons for taking the class are primarily personal. He said. I’ve always wanted to know how to speak French. As long as I can remember. I've had an academic awareness of its value and a cultural attraction to its sound.” He added. “It is a lot of fun to be in class with students v ho are my students. It's been a new relationship which I prize. Between the times Dr. Janet Wagner teaches French classes, she studies Spanish because she has Spanishspeaking friends and she would also like to travel to Spanish-speaking countries. She said being a professor in a class full of undergraduates doesn’t bother her at all. “The students treat me as a fellow student. According to Dr. Wagner, chances for employment in nearly every field of work are enhanced when a person has command of a second language. Bilingual job applicants have an edge on the market because of the increasing need for communication within businesses involved in international trade. Careers in which a foreign language is an asset include teaching, social work, medicine, business and law. Others are banking, marketing. government, fashion design, and international cuisine. Dr. Yvette Thomas, another French professor. said. Studying a foreign language isn’t just beneficial, but it's absolutely necessary. There has been a shift in the balance of power and America has competitors overseas, so it is very necessary for diplomacy and for trade relations that people be trained in languages. Students are encouraged to join clubs sponsored by the foreign language department. One of the main purposes of the clubs is to allow students to practice speaking the languages in less formal settings. Students in the beginning classes can meet more advanced students and see the progress which can be made after a year or more of intensive study. The clubs also place a great deal of emphasis on cultural awareness, giving students a chance to learn about literature, politics, and people through cultural activities.

S u tenV O'm ec e i Plays Talented students direct studio productions The theatre students at R.U. have been directing studio productions in Porterfield Theatre since 1972. This year, two seniors and a junior were chosen by a committee to display their talents. Senior Christopher Persil directed “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Dale Wasserman, based on the novel by Ken Kesey. It was shown November 2-5. Debbie Williams presented The Adding Machine, by Elmer Price. February 15-18. The junior director, Barry Delaney directed The Wager. by Mark Medoff which was shown in April. Dr. Hawes, theatre department chairman. said, the plays have become more active in recent years and this past year the directors were very good, among the best. By the end of the 1982-83 school year, the two seniors had been chosen by a committee consisting of three theatre faculty members. Dr. Carl Lefko. Mr. Charles Hayes and Dr. Hawes. Vet it was not until this fall that Barry Delaney, the first junior to direct was selected. The decisions were based on the students ability, as well as the script that they had chosen to do. The students had to have gained experience in the classroom, and the script had to fit in the line-up of plays. Dr. Hawes said the committee favored small plays to balance the main stage productions. In the studio you can do almost anything you want to — when you use imagination, the sky’s the limit, stated Hawes. Christopher Persil directed The Cuckoo's Nest. which depicts life in a state mental institution. The main character Randle P. McMurphy, played by Martin Evans, was an outcast of society sent to the institution for starting fights with other inmates at a work farm. He rebelled against the head nurse. Ms. Ratched. played by Mary Markham, and convinced the other patients to stand up to her. He gave them inspiration and hope. Persil selected the play because he had seen it in high school and thought he would like to do it. Persil designed the sets, lighting and sound. Persil thought that the most difficult part was casting, because he had to reject people. Debbie Williams student-directed the second of the studio productions. The Adding Machine. The theme of the expres- sionists play was the depersonalization of man through machinery, specifically the invention of the adding machine After 25 years at the same job. Mr Zero p'ayed by Marlin Evans, found himself fired. In his fury he killec his boss and was sentenced to death. After being killed, he went to Hell. He found it a very happy and pleasant place, and wanted to stay. Unfortunately, he was sent back to earth to start a new life. Williams presented the play in a very comical way. She feels people learn through laughter. The play was arranged arena style. This gave the spectators a sense of closeness to the actors. Hawes said The Adding Machine is a classic. It fit perfectly into our lineup. The final production was by the first junior ever to student direct. The Wager by Mark Medoff was about two roommates who made a bet that the one roommate couldn't sleep with the girl downstairs without her husband finding out and threatening his life. Hawes concluded, “although they were limited by funds, they were ve'y successful; the audiences enjoyed them. StuCent Directed Piays 63 Tne Kent Gallery not only exposes students to art. but was designed to provide an educational experience as welt Enlargement and improvement planned for Kent Gallery The Kent Gallery, what's that?” many students ask. That question may not be asked so often next year because the University and Kent Gallery advisory committee plan to enlarge and improve gallery's facilities. During the 1983-1984 term, Kent Gallery was located in Powell Hall in room 207, a classroom made available for exhibits. However, the room didn't offer adequate conditions for art displays. Plans for the new gallery included: climate control, track lighting, a larger exhibit area, added storage space, and a work area for preparing exhibits. Also planned was the installation of a security sus-tem. This precaution would hopefully attract shows of higher quality. Although the gallery is just now being remodelled, it is in no way new to the campus. Kent Gallery has been here for many years,” stated Dr. Felicia Lewandowski, curator of Kent Gallery. The motivating force behind gallery renovation was credited to Dorothy Gillespi, a native of Roanoke. Gillespi is an artist in New York and has had many connections in Southwest Virginia. She gathered works of art to establish a permanent collection at Radford University. Her hope was to aid the community by exposing it to different art media. The Kent Gallery exhibits a wide variety of works such as ceramics, oil and water painting, photography, and sculpture. Aside from exposure to art. the gallery is designed to provide an educational experience. Exhibits are incorporated into the curriculum of many art appreciation classes. It also permits the opportunity for students, faculty, and alumni to exhibit their works. The gallery brings in artists from around the country to expose students to different styles and methods. The Fall quarter brought a husband and wife team, specializing in ceramics from Rhode Island, a student-alumni show, and an exhibit by Fairfax County High School students. Scheduled for winter and spring quarters were a rope sculptor from Texas and a painter photographer from Richmond 64 Kent Gallery This oroud an student displays nc' work in Kent Ga'.e'y. locates in � owe‘l halt.

Myri Jones, chairman of the English department, along with faculty members of the English department began the Writing Across the Curncuium program Work- study student Heidi Miistead helps other students in the Writing lab of the English department. 66 Academics Writing across the curriculum Oh no! research papers in badminton? Well, not exactly. Writing Across the Curriculum is a program to help faculty in all areas become more aware of the need for and va-rious uses of writing in classes. said Assistant Professor of English Susan C. Kirby. Writing across the Curriculum was funded by a grant from the Radford University Foundation in 1981. The money, according to Kirby, goes toward educating faculty and bringing national authorities of writing to the university for seminars. The program began in 1980 without funding or sponsorship. Two years earlier. Dr. Donald Dedmon had urged faculty that particular attention be paid to the quality of students' writing. The program grew from a mutual need for students to become more literate and from a national trend toward writing improvement. The Writing Across the Curriculum , program headed by Dr. Warren Self and Dr. Richard Murphy, wasn't required for any department. Those professors attending did so on a voluntary basis. Most of the participants, according to Kirby, were however, already involved in using writing as a learning tool. One of tho newer concepts of writing encouraged by the program was that writing can be used as a learning tool rather than a testing device. It is possible to require writing assignments, and not necessarily grade them.” said Kirby. A newsletter entitled Writing and Learning was distributed to faculty to keep them aware and informed of the program. Kirby, newsletter editor, described the program in the first issue of 1983. It has stimulated and supported us in our classroom use of writing, and we would like to see the program's influence grow even wider next year. In the publication. Kirby urged those faculty members to share ideas, strategies, and assignments related to writing with others through the newsletter. Acacemics 67 Just around the bend Starting in the fall. Radford will be under going a change from the quarter system to the semester system. There will be two semesters — fall and spring. The fall semester will begin 1984 and end on Friday, December 14. The spring semester will begin on Tuesday. January 15. 1985 and will end on Friday, May 3. Under the new system, it will be necessary to complete 126 semester hours, to obtain a bachelor's degree. For graduate degrees, students must complete 30 additional semester hours. The new class standing under the system will be as follows: sophomore status will be 31 semester hours of credit; junior status, 63; and senior status, 94. The normal and minimum class loads for the semester system will stay the same as in the quarter system. Dean's list students and students with special permission from their dean may still take 20 hours, and students on academic probation are still limited to 15 hours of credit per semester. The minimum class load for residence hall living is nine semester hours of credit. For graduate students, the normal class load will be 12 to 15 hours, and the minimum fulltime course load will be 9 semester hours. If graduate students want to take more than 18 hours per semester, they must obtain permission from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. All students may take a maximum of six semester hours for each six-week summer session. Radford's policy states that students currently enrolled who are affected by the conversion to semester hours will not be prevented from completing degree requirements and graduating on time as a result of the upcoming change. There are several advantages to the semester system. The semester system will provide more out-of-class time for students to study and for faculty to prepare for classes; it will give students the chance to start summer jobs earlier; it reduces time spent in registration; it reduces the time faculty must spend in activities related to starting and finishing terms; and it reduces the tendency for faculty to compress and fragment courses. Disadvantages of the system are less. The semester system provides less variety of course opportunities and less courses to choose from. 68 Semester Systems Academic advising. Dr Brack Smith, advises Kathy Tippett on her schedule The semester system has brought a tew charges in course programs. Conversions This handbook was distributed to students in the tat. It outlines the changes and explains the semester system. 1984 RADFORD UNIVERSITY SEMESTER CONVERSION HANDBOOK Semester Systems 69 Renovations reflect progress Students may have noticed some structural changes on the campus when they came back in September. The 15-20 handicapped students at R.U. certainly noticed since the changes greatly increased accessibility of the campus. Five hundred thousand dollars in handicap renovations were appropriated to R.U. m 1978. Architectural recommendations were conducted, and construction bids were made. In the middle of these proceedings. the state put a freeze on all allocations for two years. Because of this delay all previous plans had to be updated. Virginia law states that all state funded institutions must be accessible to the handicapped. The money to renovate R.U.'s academic buildings came from the state. Any renovations in the dorms must be generated from the dorms themseives. From now on. any renovations done in the dorms will include those for the handicapped. This summer, eight more handicap accessible rooms will be placed in Muse Hall. Elevators were placed in some academic buildings, such as Powell hall. Ramp construction was to be completed by March of 1984. The water fountains were lowered and door openings widened in the bathrooms. According to Dave Armstrong, director of the physical plant, more specialized classroom furniture is needed; for example, lab furniture in Reed and Curie Halls. But according to Michael Walsh, assistant director of residential life and coordinator of handicapped services, the university has done a lot. “By the end of 1983 the campus will be fully accessible to the handicapped,' he said. One of the problems with the renovations was that every handicapped person has individual abilities, and therefore the equipment they need varies. For instance, not all those in wheelchairs have electric ones, and for those without, a steep ramp is dangerous. It's a specified code for every inch of inclination, a ramp must be a foot long. Another problem was the curb cut for accessibility. The gentle slope to the street aided a wheelchair, but the blind had diffi culty in differentiating the ramp from the street Now they make the slope rough, so the blind can feel the difference. The handicapped are helped in any way possible. Because Russell Hall isn't accessible. when the handicapped have classes there, they were moved to another building ahead of time. The blind take their exams orally, or have them taped. Textbooks are also taped by a national institution. Deaf students are assigned professors without beards, to aid in lip reading. “We are small enough to give personal attention to the handicapped. For example. I can direct handicapped with teachers who will go a mile. The make-up of the campus is condusive to them, said Walsh. Handicapped students say the renovations have helped a lot. Chance Crawford, a sophomore from Salem, Va., said the college is very convenient in that he can get around. He said. The ramp in front of Young saves me five-to ten minutes. I haven't had any problems getting into buildings. Dell Siler, an art major, said two or three buildings are not in service for him but that R.U. is most accessible compared with other schools. R.U. is making an effort concerning renovations. At least, the wheels are in motion. said Siler. Robbie Thomas, a junior from Crozet. Va.. was very impressed with R.U.'s accessibility, he was also taken in by the students and faculty. The biggest factor that got me to come here was the attitudes of the students and faculty. The day I visited the campus, students and faculty took the initiative. It set the place so much higher than any other school.'' Michael Walsh said there are two contrasting attitudes towards the renovations. Many ask why it took so long, while at the same time, saying the renovations should only be done in the summer. He said. “The noise may be an inconvenience and even 10 years down the road, we may only be accommodating a few. But those few have a right to an education.” Walsh said many of the problems the handicapped face are attitudes, not total accessibility. Many are not recognizing one segment of the population. But some day that person many find himself handicapped. he said. 70 Handicapped V .v Dr. Gordon, chairman ol the Art Department, and Dr lentczner.

Brent. Jones and lllu Alto will return next year to strengthen and lead a primarily freshman team. According to coach Ron Dameron, the main advantages the team had were good recruitment and seniors working with freshmen. He said it was a challenging season because they played against the toughest schedule ever and came out with a 13-6 record. The team upset Millersville State, a nationally ranked team. It was the first time our tennis team has ever beaten them. The key to the winning season was that the boys were never intimidated. said Dameron. Men's Tennis 77 The Radford University Golf Team Intercollegiate division champions Although plagued by a cold, wet spring Chuck Tickle and the RU golf team made the best of a bad situation. The team participated in four major tournaments: the South Carolina State Invitational, the College of William and Mary Invitational, the Virginia Tech Invitational, and the Virginia State Open. At the Virginia State open in April, the team won the intercollegiate division. Tickle shot a 77, Patrick Simpson shot a 77. John Beall a 78. and Bob Burnett an 81. Junior Chuck Tickle was chosen to participate in the NCAA Division II golf cham- pionship in Wheeling, West Virginia. Tickle ended the first round with a 75 on the second day with a 76. at the end of the second round he was tied for ninth in the individual standing. The third round, however. Tickle had to play in a stady downpour of rain, but finished the day with a 91. The next day Tickle shot a 76 and finished the tournament with a total of 318, which left him tied for 40th place in a field of more than 80 golfers. Tickle also took first-place in the Gobbler Classic at Virginia Tech. His average for the season was a 74. 78 Go« Junior Chuck Tickle was chosen to participate in the NCAA Division II golf championshio in Wheeling, Wost Virginia. Goll 79 Growing stronger and improving Though Radford University has been an educational institution since 1910. it has only been a university since 1979 and it is still establishing many new traditions, one being the men's lacrosse team. Radford has had a lacrosse team for six years. The first three years were spent as a club sport, but in 1979 it made its way into the spectrum of varsity sports. The lacrosse team ended the 1982-83 season with a record of four wins and seven losses. This was considered a definite improvement over last year by both the team and the coaches. Many losses were caused by let downs or penalties. When asked Which team was the toughest and why? Coach Kenny immediately answered Roanoke, because they do an excellent job with recruiting, producing a steady stream of excellent lacrosse players. The following seniors: Scott Waterson. Randall “Boo'' Hadges, Rick Brightwell. John Anderson. Mike Raeder and Todd Williams agreed that one day the team wi I grow stronger and more productive. Player Mike Stevens, who was third highest scorer and leader in ground balls was voted most valuable player by his teammates Chns Garcia led the team in goals. The All Tri-State League disbanded last year due to various circumstances. According to Kenny, if the leaque is not reformed. Radford plans to join the ODAC (Old Dominion Athletic Committee) consisting of Hampden-Sydney College. Lynchburg College and Roanoke College. Assistant coach Doug Bartlett added. The team will hopefully be a winning tradition. 80 Lacrosse Mike Stevens, named most valuable player, plays equaly well at both ends of the field.

Dr. Christine Sleight, communications disorders professor, had an opportunity to be taught aerobics by one of her students. Doug Keller, the owner of the Radford Barbell Club offered an alternative to RU’s nautilus and universal facilities. Junior Sheryl Herrin, a Spanish and journalism major, said. I joined the barbell club because it was closer than the Dedmon Center and also because the hours were unlimited. If I wanted to work out at three a.m.t I could. The Dedmon Center, however, offered the best diversity of physical activities; and best of all. they were free to students. Racquetball courts were available seven days a week through reservation. This year, because of the high demand for courts, one court was left open on a first come, first serve basis. For those working towards that perfect body, nautilus equipment was available. Many joggers preferred the indoor track at the center to running outside. Runners didn’t have to worry about hills, rain or uneven pavements. Another bonus was freedom from dodging cars, bikes and stray dogs. Indoor basketball courts wore utilized for pick-up games, especially during the winter months.

Bell was able to take Radford’s reputation as an 'easy defeat” and turn it into a class A team. Radford came out fighting and surprised everyone. Throughout the season they proved themselves and gained the respect of many opponents. The schedule consisted of 19 games against tough competitors, six of which were Division I teams and the season ended with a record of 14 wins, two losses and three ties. The team was ranked tenth in the nation. One of their two losses was to Peif-fer College which was ranked sixth in the nation. The team consisted of 13 freshmen, nine of whom started; three sophomores, two starters and two juniors. The defense had a very consistent year. Diane Dennis broke up many of the opposing teams offensive drives. Shuana Hudson and Beth Bullock were both placed in new positions and performed well. The offense was the main improvement for the team. They were able to recruit Crista Beisel. the states top high school scorer. She scored a total of 23 goals. Susan Neal, the right wing and scoring wing with the best open field speed, had an impressive offensive drive. Kirsten Janss and Crissy DeGuzman rounded out the front line, scoring eight goals respectively. Both were very skilled players and were considered offensive threats. The team was building and perfecting skills to prepare for their transition to Division I ranking. Coach Laurie Bell was confident that the transition would be smooth and hopes the team will be successful. Teammates. Chrissy DeGuzman and Susan Nea celebrate yet another goal.

Field Hockey 8b Mile-high honors After only two years of competition of the NCAA Division II level. Radford established itself as a volleyball powerhouse. Led by longtime coach. Janell Dobbins, the Lady Highlanders sported a 29-6 record for the 1983 season. Mrs. Dobbins who was head coach of the team since its introduction 12 years ago. had personally accumulated a career record of 221-117. Former Radford stand-out. Nancy Conners, joined Dobbins as assistant coach, providing the team with her personal knowledge and experience. These two proved to be a winning coaching combination. Although relatively young, this year's team worked very well together both on and off the court. Coach Dobbins attributes much of their success to the fact and what she termed their “coachibility . The team's only senior. Karen Goad, led the team in virtually every area. She was an exceptionally consistent hitter, passer and blocker throughout the year. Goad, a four-year letter winner for Radford, was also named to three “all tournament teams . The other statistical leaders included junior. Debbie Spencer, and sophomores. Brenda Blevins and Debbie Byrd. Two newcomers. Rhonda Allen and Connie Shupe. both showed much promise. The 1983 season started very sucessful-ly as Radford came away from their season opener at the Mansfield Invitational tournament with a 5-1 record. This earned them a second place honor as well as a mile-high trophy which towers proudly in Coach Dobbins office. Radford also captured second place in the Longwood College and Mary Washington College tournaments, during which junior. Rose Canada and Spence' were named, along with Goad as all tourney players. During the first annual Radford University tournament, they dominated competition and walked away with first place laurels. Overall they received a third place ranking in their NCA Atlantic Region.

When the ride was over, the team was in high spirits as a result of winning the state championship. The Highlanders went into the season ranked 16th in the nation Although they were a young and inexperienced team, coach Will landoia believed that if they gave up the high school style of play and adjusted to the speed and physical requirements of collegiate play they would do well. It took some time, but the team was able to make the adjustment.” The roller coaster ride started off slowly. It took the bcoters four losses before they recorded a victory. A 2-0 shutout of George Washington University was the first win of the season. Pam Boliam and Helen Negrey (who was named to the Ai American team in 1982) both scored The team went on to defeat Virginia Tech 2-0. The following weekend Radford gained experience playing in the Washington Area Girls Soccer Tournament. The lady booters recorded victories over Old Dominion University and Mary Washington College, and tied University of Virginia. The Highlander s next several games took the roller coaster ride downhill. The team was defeated by University of North Carolina. University of Connecticut and Boston College. Radford did bounce back to shatter Hollins College 9-0. Goals were scored by Julia Hall. Lynn Childers. Dede Tannahill, Kelly Sherman and Peggy Poore. The last weekend in October, the booters rode the roller coaster to victory and a state championship. Against James Madison University. Tricia Heisler scored the only goal. The Highlanders then advanced to the next round of playoffs. Radford outshot University of Virgina 22-6, and came up with a 2-0 victory. Childers and Drustrup put the Highlanders on the scoreboard. The roller coaster ride ended with a 2-1 defeat of the College of William and Mary, to give Radford the State Championship title. With the final minutes ticking away m the first half. Durstrup took a hard shot from outside to put the Highlanders up one. Pam Romano tallied early in the second half to insure the 2-1 victory. Three players from Radford were also named to the Virginia State All Tournament team - Marie Onorato. Julie Drustrup and Peggy Poore. Onorato and Drustrup played strong offense throughout the tournament. Poore maintained control in goal and denied several scoring opportunities. WOMEN S SOCCER: (Front row) Liz Nataiuk.

Wesleyan and UVA. Tri Captains Jim Mclntire, Greg McCarthy and Brian Udy led their team to a 7 and 9 record. After an impressive debut against Charleston and Eastern Mennonite. the men fell 2-1 to Roanoke College, followed by a disheartening weekend against nationally ranked Division I George Mason and Division II W.Va. Wesleyan. The team may not have fared well, but Billy Gerber was recognized for the all-tournament team. In front of a boisterous crowd, the men sought revenge Homecoming Weekend as they nipped Marshall University 3-2. Unfortunately their second game handed them a disappointing loss to Randolph Macon 2-1. During parents weekend a road trip was taken to the Va. Tech tournament, where an offsides trap cost the Highlanders a 2-1 overtime defeat. Wilkes College proved to be a less worthy opponent as RU beat them 7-0. Top honors of the tourney went to Stephen White for best offensive player, and Gerber and Willie Kee were named to the all-tournament team. The highlight of the season came after a four and one half hour trip to UDC. The team was mentally prepared to avenge last year's loss to the quick paced Firebirds. Aggressive behavior plagued most of the game as fallen players were seen frequently. Brian Udy confirmed that RU meant business when he placed the ball exactly where it had to be. The final score — Highlanders 1 — Firebirds 0 Next came a crushing defeat over Shenandoah. 10-0. An exciting game followed with W L. when RU took an early lead as Kee took advantage of the goalie with a one on one shot. Minutes into the second half, W L vied for attention and with six minutes remaining, pulled ahead. Even so. Joe Montagne, with a mere 1:39 minutes left, saw an opening and put one off the keeper to the left. Two 10 minute overtime periods enabled Mclntire to deposit the ball precisely in the goal. RU won 3-2. Coach Lil-lard commented, They finally realized in a lot of the close games, they'd given up too early.” The Highlanders rounded out their season bowing to nationally ranked UVA Ball possession was observed repeatedly, but scoring opportunities were scarce. Two influential seniors will be lost — Mclntire and Freddie White. Forward Mclntire, a four year veteran scored three goals this season. As a sophomore, the forward scored the winning goal in the state championship. White, a two year starter, contributed with two assists and good defense. Kee, the seasons leading scorer was attributed with six goals. Gerber distinguished himself earning a seat on the All South Atlantic Region Team.

After long hours of dedicated practice in the Dedmon Center under the guidance of Coach Huckabee, the two teams were able to reach their respective individual goals. The women's team was led by key gymnasts Maureen Flynn, Karen Rettew, and Sue Knebel. The Western Carolina meet was held at Radford on January 21, and our lady gymnasts managed to defeat them. In another meet against Longwood College, the girls once again dominated the score-board to capture the victory. Karen Rettew set a new school record on the balance beam with a score of 9.05. The men’s gymnastics team is a new addition to Radford's sports roster. The team is coached by Paul Beckwith, with Coach Huckabee assisting. Radford’s first men's gymnastics team consisted of eight incoming freshman. The outstanding men gymnasts are Reed Crowe, Steve King, and Devin Jones. The new team exhibited their potential during a meet against Towson State University in February winning with a score of 201.4. 94 Gymnastics Devin Jones concentrates on executing the correct moves on the parallel bars.

After posting a 17-10 record the Highlanders extended their ten-year win streak of never having a losing season and improved their 15-11 record of a year earlier. The 17-10 record was nothing to be ashamed of, said Assistant Coach Don Carter. We had a good season. We had three losses at home and if we had won two of those games we probably would have made the NCAA Division II tournament. You have to be happy with the record, said Carter. Leading the Highlanders in scoring was James Cooke, a transfer from Louisburg Junior College in North Carolina. Cooke averaged 14.4 points per game and had a rebound average of 5.6 per game. Another newcomer, Eric Key, averaged 11.9 points per game and pulled down a team-leading 7.3 rebounds. Junior, David Smith averaged 11 points per game and averaged 5.6 rebounds per game. Billy Myers, the sophomore guard from Blacksburg, ended up the double-figure scoring as he averaged 10.3 points per game and had 2.1 rebounds. Freshman Tim Penn showed his potential (5.2 ppg) in the red and white and Billy Goode of Roanoke continued his consistent play averaging 4.7 points per game Mike Burton came in off the bench to dazzle the crowd (3.7 ppg, 2.5 rpg) and led the team with 84 assists. game in the Dedmon Center, he scored a team high 17 points and nine rebounds. The young Highlander squad won their first three games of the season against Pfeiffer, nationally ranked Florida Southern and Charleston (WV) before traveling to Richmond to face the unusually tough Spiders. The Highlanders fell to Richmond 57 75, but bounced back at VMI to hand the Keydets a 75-49 and over-powered LaRoche College 69-49 to advance their early season record to 7-1 and it appeared they were on a record pace. But three losses in four games started to deflate the Highlander basketball. They first fell to East Tenn. State and Seattle before bouncing back to beat Morgan State 56-53 in the first round of the Highlander Invitational, and then lost to Pembroke State in the Championship game. The Highlanders then began their roller coaster season. They would win some and lose some, but during this time they would experience a couple of their biggest wins of the season. Radford soundly beat their old nemisis from the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in front of a packed, standing-room only Dedmon Center crowd. 72-63. The Highlanders led the whole contest and the score was not really as close as it appeared. James Cooke sparked Radford as he scored a team and season high 29 points. Coach Joe Davis won his 100th game at Radford in this win. The Highlanders later played a newcomer to their schedule, the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. (UMBC), and biasted them in the seasons highest scor- Tim Hale, a sophomore, averaged 3.1 ing game 113-66.

The lady Highlanders had one of the best records in their history with a 25-5 record and climbed as far as number 12 in Division II basketball. The bad part of this successful season was they weren’t invited to join the NCAA field of 24 competing for the national championship. Coach Pat Barrett said it was too bad a good season such as the one they had had to be so disappointing. “It was one of my most enjoyable seasons I've had in my 13 years of coaching from the standpoint of the people involved, said Barrett. The players had excellent attitudes — a great group to work with. This team worked so hard. she said. Senior Nan Milner scored her 1.000 point and had her 1,000 rebound which is a school record. Beth Cleavenger scored her 1,000 point and junior Pebbles Maynard broke Pam Bradley’s assist record by handing out 124 assists and ending the season with 304 career assists. Cindy Warring led the team in scoring (14.6 ppg) with 410 points. Beth Cleavenger, who scored 119 points in her last six games (19.8 average for those games) averaged 12.3 points per game and led the team in free throw percentage (.886). Cleavenger ended her career in second place in scoring with 1,161. Nan Milner (10.6 ppg) led the team in rebounds as she collected 135 offensive and 186 defensive rebounds for a 11.5 rebounding average. She led the team in blocked shots with 24. Senior Carla Webb averaged 10.5 points per game and was second on the team with 321 rebounds. Coach Barrett anticipates a rebuilding year for 1984-85. All four seniors were leading scorers. I don’t anticipate us setting the world on fire, said Barrett, “but if we have a good recruiting year we’ll do all right. she added.

Beginning with tryouts in the spring and continuing through basketball season, the Radford University cheerleaders never seemed to loose their enthusiasm. There were some additions to the spirit promoters this year. Junior fashion merchandising major Lisa Register explained that a junior varsity squad called the Lady Rowdies who cheered for the womens' basketball games and the mens' soccer games was formed. Last summer the squad went to cheerleading camp for the first time. They attended the U.C.A. College Camp at Vir- ginia Tech which was held for the eastern half of the country’s college cheerleader squads. At camp, the cheerleaders made their mark by receiving the Most Improved Award, a superior ribbon and a spirit stick. Register also emphasized that the athletic directors had a lot to do with getting the students in on the action. With their slogan of “Puttin' on the Radford Ritz. they successfully got students involved and left the spirit raising to the cheerleaders. Senior journalism major and cheerleader, Bill Smith said that there was something different this year, a more unified spirit which helped the cheerleaders achieve success. 104 Cheofleaders An uplifting experience.

Not only did Phi Kap grow in number. they also grew in achievement. Community awareness was the first and foremost objective for Phi Kap this year. Along with donating food and money to such organizations as the Radford Chamber of Commerce and the New River Community Action Program. Phi Kap also donated man power by volunteering for clean up days in the city of Christiansburg. In addition. Phi Kap assisted Radford Community Hospital with doing X-rays during Halloween. Equally important, Phi Kap stressed academic achievement. For those members having difficulty with their studies. Phi Kap held study sessions in hope of improving their overall academic standing. Along with community projects and academics. Phi Kap continued to be a major contender in all sporting events They again had strong showings in sports such as football, basketball and softball. 114 Phi Kappa Sigma High goals and strong committment Delta Theta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi is always on the move whether it be raising money for a charity or rushing new members. Their goals are high and their commitment to these goals is strong. Achieving is nothing new to the three year old chapter, they have been the recipients of R.U.'s President s cup and their National Award for Distinguished Community Service in 1982. This past year they tied for the first President's Excellence Award for Service. The reason for this commitment to excellence is a diversity of activities and a team effort. Alpha Sig's social calendar is full of sorority mixers, hikes, private parlies. Founder's Day dinner in December and an Awards Banquet in the spring. So many alumni returned for the Founder's Day dinner that more tables and chairs had to be found. They also dedicate themselves to helping the community and those who are less fortunate. The brothers along with the Radford Women's Club have expanded the bi-monthly paper drive to recycle paper. The third annual Dime Roll was held in conjunction with the March of Dimes Walk-America. They also participated in a picnic with the Local Big Brother Big Sister organization. Intramurals is important to Alpha Sig in the promotion of team and competitive spirit.

Sigma Nu at Radford University was chartered by Sigma Nu's National headquarters. The 30 men who were initiated on this date were the founding fathers at Radford. In the fall, Sigma Nu held a colonization and recognition ceremony. Afterwards they held a reception for their parents and officials from national headquarters. The brothers helped collect artifacts at the burned down fire house in Radford so they could be restored and placed in a museum. They also collected aluminum cans to get money for the welfare department and canned goods for the needy. Sigma Nu was founded by three cadets at VMI in 1869. Since then chapters were soon established at UVA. W L and then beyond the south in the 1800's. Sigma Nu now has over 150,000 members and chapters on 150 campuses nationwide.

The Bus Stop is the scene of a popular get together, co-sponsored by TKE and Tri Sig, which provides the Radford students with an early Friday night event. Within the community they helped with the fingerprinting of area school children, and the Blood Mobile. The brothers of TKE believe in the ideas of brotherhood. They enjoy competing in intramural sports, organizing events and providing support and encouragement for each other. The Little Sisters of TKE. called Order of Diana, aided the brothers in many of their functions. Throughout the year, they worked side-by-side with the brothers raising money for many organizations and charities. This group poses for a picture demonstrating TKE's idea of brotherhood.

This year Phi Sig donated money to the campus library and the baseball club. Other projects include community work for the welfare department, donations to the bloodmobile. as well as a jointly sponsored food drive with Delta Zeta sorority.

Autumn court was held parents weekend representing students from various classes to be chosen as king and queen during the lacrosse game halftime. This year the students, in conjunction with the faculty sponsored an open forum featuring. Rob Dobbins. Madison Mayre and Ward Teele. Each delegate was asked a question regarding specific issues and had time for a rebuttal. Tis the season to be jolly, and so it was for the underprivileged children who attended the annual IRHC Christmas party. Students signed up to sponsor a child and to participate in the program which is one of the biggest turnouts of the year and fun for all. A new accomplishment SGA has attained this year is the chance to sponsor a new program entitled: student leadership conference. Delegates from high schools across the country learned leadership skills such as communication skills, time management and how to run an effective meeting. Another proud accomplishment of SGA was its quarterly meeting with University’s board of visitors.

Guest speakers were sponsored throughout the year as well as weekly movies. Coffee houses were also scheduled every quarter. Student Life membership is open to any student at Radford University. The organization needs people who are interested in bringing people together. Because Student Life is reponsible for a significant portion of the activities at Radford, it is vital to have input from many people at Radford in order to get all the jobs done well. 182 Student Life SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE: (Front row) Mary Dietz.

Dr. Dedmon tti'izes his background in Conmunicatiors to give many speeches What do Hickory Hill and Capital Hill have in common9 Both house chief executives. while the former is closely tied to RU. This is where president. Donald N. Ded-mon calls home. Dr. Dedmon has served as chief administrator of the university for 12 years. Before coming to Radford, he was a professor at Southern Illinois University, and a professor and chairman of the Department of Speech. Arts and Theatre at Colorado State University. His most immediate positions before coming to Radford were at Marshall University. There he served as dean of the college of arts and sciences, then executive vice-president and later as acting president. He received his Bachelor of Science in Education, in his home state, at Southwest Missouri State University in 1953. As an undergraduate he served as president of the student body, and was active on the university debate teams. He also played softball for the university and belonged to a fraternity. He received his Master of Arts and Doctorate from the University of Iowa. Dr. Dedmon explained that his emphasis has always been on students as learners. He went on to say that he was always branching out into other areas while serving as a professor. I feel that all administrative people should basically be good teachers. That's what we're all about. I concluded that I had a better chance of doing things, and having impact with my own views relating to students in an administrative role. said Dedmon. An active professional. Dr. Dedmon has spoken in every state in the U.S. but two. He delivers speeches on oral communications and educational matters generally. He lectured on “Communications in the Age of the Computer. last year in Guadalajara. Mexico, and plans to speak in Spring 1984 in the Dominican Republic. You have to stay professionally active and keep doing your own thing. It keeps you alive. said Dedmon. In addition to his presentation of papers, lectures and seminars. Dr. Dedmon has written articles for various publications. Most recently in 1983. he published an article in Vital Speeches, entitled Education- Confirming What We Know. Some of the other publications which he has been a contributor to include: Speech Abstacts, Quarterly Journal of Speech, Journal of Communication and Speech Teacher. Dr. Dedmon can be seen running at the convocation center, which bears his name, at around 6 a.m. every morning. He also enjoys golf and lists going to the beach as another favorite pastime. He resides on Hickory Hill with his wife Gerry. They have two daughters. Mary Elizabeth and Margaret Ann. What is Dr. Dedmon's opinion of what a university should be? Students are a vital part of the academic community, and they can't be a part unless they have a voice in it. said Dedmon. He added that 140 students were sitting on committees at the university. 188 Dr. Dedmon R.U.'a Main Man. As President ol the University. Dr. Donald N.

Dr. Lentczner's role at RU as Dean of the School of Fine Arts is a position he has held for one year. “I enjoy being the dean because I am in a position to facilitate a good many things for both faculty and students. There is a real sense of being able to help in a positive way. Dean Lentczner described the many ways in which he helped his school, There is a wide and varied range from helping students sort out problems with programs to helping the projects of faculty members with financial assistance and time. The dean's position, however, also consisted of unavoidable paper work, representing the school on and off campus and fund raising. The faculty's job is to see that programs and performances are carried out, mine is to see that we have enough money, explained Dean Lentczner. Money indeed plays a large part in the arts, for without money, the school could not present quality performances, renovate art galleries or strive to build increased arts offerings at RU. But “deans are here to make dreams happen, explained the dean. To paraphrase Dr. Dedmon — If you can't think of a reason why something shouldn't happen, that often is reason enough to do it!

Last year Hurlburt was honored when SGA named a scholarship for her. I've worked closely with SGA executive council for 15 years as the adviser. After working so closely and spending a week together before school starts organizing activities, you get to know the people quite well. Hurlburt said. Hurlburt was also instrumental in influencing the local bars to prohibit wet t-shirts contests and ladies’ nights. I feel strongly about equal oportunity and discrimination. I felt the t-shirt contests were demeaning toward women. Hurlburt received her undergraduate degree in home economics from what was Radford's Women's College. She did her student teaching at Radford High School. While at Radford, she was active in Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and the Baptist Student Union serving as president for both. Hurlburt was also a member of SGA. Hurlburt recalled living in the home management house, now the Brown House for rural studies, to fulfill a major requirement. After graduation from college, Hurlburt and a friend traveled through Europe. The first part of their tour was spent bicycling through England and Belgium. Then we got lazy and borrowed a car. Hurlburt enjoyed sports — jogging, walking, golfing and skiing. She also likes watching RU basketball games and traveling She's travelled as far as Liberia in eastern Africa. As the dean of students. Hurlburt works with SGA, clubs and organizations, the judicial system. Day Student Services, black students and Black Student Activities Account (worth about .5 million dollars) and more. She said.

The association is an organized group of volunteers from which RU graduates reap many benefits. The organizational meetings of the Alumni Association began in 1920. Their first major activity was to raise money for an alumni student activity building which was built in 1929. This building is now called Lucas Hall and is used for receptions, meetings, as well as housing the office of alumni affairs. There were 23.000 members in 1983 and many are very active. If they aren’t calling or writing in ideas, they're working hard at volunteer work. ’’That's the beauty of it ... they do it because they want to do something for Radford, said Ms. Virginia Doud, director of alumni affairs. Doud acts as the go-between for various alumni chapters, students and university officials. She also keeps addresses and other information on alumni up-to-date. We re doing public relations work to keep our alumni informed. she said. Alumni relations also helps volunteers oversee chapters in other areas and trams and assists them in fund raising activities. The association distributes Radford, a news magazine designed for alumni. They also participated in the Ten Years of Progress program held in 1982 that highlighted advancements made on campus since Dr. Dedmon took office in 1972. There's a travel program open to all alumni which features trips at group rates. Tentative plans included a trip to Hawaii over spring break. A recognition program provides awards to outstanding alumni. Two such awards are the Outstanding Alumnus Award and the Outstanding Service Award. The student-alumni recruitment sessions used to recruit new students are also included in Ms. Doud's duties. In the fall the Alumni Association was busy with homecoming weekend. The winter v as spent planning various fund-raising programs. In the spring these programs were put into action, including phon-a-thon. in which over 100 student and alumni volunteers called and solicited support from other alumni. It was carried out two and a half hours nightly for three weeks in March. Last year over Si 2.000 was raised in pledges. Much of the summer is spent planning programs for the fall. The Alumni Association began working hard to communicate with RU’s alumni about eight years ago and has become a very strong association with many volunteers. It gives alumni a chance to become involved with their alma mater and to contact classmates from the past. It's an association which exists to promote a beneficial relationship between the university and its alumni. Doud said. y Ms. Virginia Doud.

A sense of humor Captain William O. Van Deusen, assistant professor of military science, joined the Army ROTC at Radford University in August of 1982. Since then, he has taught 100,200 and 300 levels in military science. A native of Front Royal. Virginia. Captain Van Deusen received his bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Virginia Military Institute, and his master's degree in accounting and financial management from James Madison University. Besides being what many students regard as a well disciplined soldier and excellent teacher. Captain Van Deusen is also blessed with a sense of humor. Many times to break the monotony that comes with giving long lectures he would relate tales of the many jokes he and friends would play. One such joke was played on a student who arrived late for class one day. Upon his arrival into the classroom. Captain Van Deusen handed him a grenade, and pulled out the pin. What the student didn't know was that the grenade was a fake. The unknowing student sat paralyzed for about ten minutes After which Captain Van Deusen reclaimed the grenade and let go of the lever. Much to the surprise of the student it didn't explode, but merely came apart with a pop! Captain Van Deusen has other hobbies besides jokes. He collects various items of interest such as beer cans, coins, currency and stamps. He also enjoys hunting and fishing. Captain Van Deusen is a very optimistic person when it comes to the ROTC program at R.U. As for ROTC s expectations for the future, he replied, I'd like to see increases made in enrollment, activities and appearances made by ROTC. M lilafy Science 203 ENGLISH: Ms Susan Kirby.

Upon retirement. he leaves a campus of over 6000 students, a third of whom are males After 30 years of service Dr. W. Keith Roberts. 65 in July and chairman of the history department is retiring, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and friends. During this time, said Roberts. Radford has transformed from a school of rules to no rules-practically. Roberts has witnessed, participated in and initiated many of these changes. Roberts began teaching at Radford in 1954. During his years here. Radford has progressed from an all women college to a co-ed university. With these changes many adjustments had to be made. Roberts remembers his early years here when the school functioned, not only as an educational institution, but as parents for the students School, he said, was a home away from home. — literally Girls spent their time, he said, trying to get around the rules. One example, he recalled, was the prohibition of wearing shorts except while playing tennis. So whenever the girls wanted to wear shorts they would simpiy carry a tennis racket. Radford, in its early years, appears strict to students today, but it was not overly strict, said Roberts; in those days it was the norm. Roberts has also witnessed many geographical changes on Radford's campus Wnere his office is today, there was once an outdoor swimming pool. And he still has keys to Founders Hall, an all purpose building, housing offices, classrooms, a gym and an indoor swimming pool. Muse Hall is located in its place today. The biggest changes at Radford, said Roberts, came in 1972 when Donald Ded-mon became president. He was and is. said Roberts, very student oriented. With his arrival came instant rule changing. This was, Roberts felt, because Dr. Dedmon lived in Tyler Hall for a couple years. He was in close contact with the students, aware of their problems. He made an effort to do something about them. Changes included the institution of a student government system, student evaluations of I like going across campus and knowing the students. mat's what l it miss most, the contact with the students.' — Dr. W. Keith Roberts teachers and an outdoor graduation ceremony. enabling students to graduate together. Before coming to Radford. Roberts served in the Army for three years during WWII. received his Ph D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and taught at several schools in North Carolina. While in the Army he said he chose two areas he wanted to settle n: Oregon or southwestern Virginia. By a stroke of luck a job opened up at Radford College Roberts said he has remained at Radford Because the college has always been good to me; it’s a nice place to live. He likes the school and the area so much that I stayed even when jobs were plentiful. said Roberts. The small town atmosphere agrees with Roberts who grew up in Arlington. Oregon — population 400 — in the sagebrush and sand. referring to the terrain of the area. The city has never held any lure for Roberts, expecially. he said, after getting caught in the rush hour traffic in Washing- ton DC. Roberts said he also prefers teaching at a small school. I like going across campus and knowing the students. he said. Although primarily a history professor. Roberts work at Radford has encompassed a wide range of duties. When he first began working here, he taught several subjects including economics, political science, western civilization and American history. From 1961-1966 Roberts served as associate dean of Radford, and from 1967-1972 he served as a graduate dean. Work during those years was primarily aoministrative and involved a lot of paper work such as making out faculty schedules. In 1972 he returned to teaching history and in 1978 became chairman of his department. Roberts favorite area of history is the American Indian and he has taught a course on the subject for several years. Teaching is never redundant for Roberts because, he said, new research is continually added, updating a subject The element of boredom is gone because classes charge constantly. Roberts retirement plans will probably keep him as busy as when he worked. He said he is retiring so he can travel and write while he is still able to enjoy himself. He hopes to visit all 50 states, so far he has seen over half. Retirement will provide Roberts with an opportunity to devote himself to writing, something he said he hasn't had much time for. being a full time professor and an active participant in civic and professional affairs. Yet Roberts has found time to publish several articles and co-author the Principles of Economics. Besides traveling and writing Roberts also plans to remain active in the community. As president of the New River Historical Society, he is organizing a regional museum for the area. Roberts said he will probably remain in Radford although it will never be the same as when he worked here. As students filed in and out of his office, asking questions or simply to say hello, he summed up his feelings. That's what I'll miss most, the contact with students. Df.

McDonald uncovers the past Have you ever seen a llama, an iguana or perhaps a blow-fish? How about an 18 thousand year old Botherium? Dr. Jerry McDonald has not only seen a Bootherium, a genus of extinct musk ox, but had the opportunity to study the only known carcass of the one found in Alaska in 1940. The animal was collected for the American Museum of Natural History. He worked at the museum for a year on a post-doctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Institute. While at the Smithsonian he revised the classification of the Ovibovini. a tribe of large mammals including the shrub ox and musk ox. he also attempted to explain their evolution and describe their zoogeography (the distribution of oxen in space over time). One important part of the program. explained McDonald. was to be exposed to a lot of ideas relating to this field of work. He described his year's leave of absence. It went well, tremendous. I had access to the largest collection of Ovibobini materials in the world.” According to McDonald a year wasn't nearly enough time to finish the work. He planned to transfer the carcass of the extinct musk ox to RU if he was granted the high security necessary. In the winter of 1983. however, he still had an office at the Smithsonian and continued his work there. McDonald was also involved in an excavation at Saltville. Va.. where he found large quantities of a symbos musk ox. It was what he called the second most complete known skeleton of this type of musk ox. McDonald offered, through RU, a five week biogeography course in Saltville. Students had the opportunity to collect all types of information: archeological, biological and physical aspects. The Saltville site was considered by McDonald to be the most promising site of Quaternary in eastern North America in view of the variety, quality and quanity of the information it provided. McDonald became involved in the Saltville excavation after a man in Saltville found bones eroding from the bank of a stream These bones were sent to the Smithsonian for identification and McDonald was told of the find and began his uncovering. As if his work in Saltville. the Smithsonian and the univer- sity weren't enough, McDonald planned another program: this one was in Alaska. At the University of Alaska he hoped to help sort through and evaluate one of the largest collections of Quaternary Mammal bones. The fossils had never been sorted, and it was thought that no records about the specimens were kept There had been no analysis made of the carcasses found. McDonald planned to sort, identify what was collected, and to analyze the gut contents of the various mammals. (This would help determine the exolcgy of the carcass, the food it ate. where and when it died, etc.). McDonald said, we’re trying to bring understanding up to date. A lot of our thinking is obsolete.” 208 Geography COMMUNICATION DISORDERS: (Front row) Dr Pamela Garn-Nunn. Dr. James Nicely (chairman). Ms. Mary Calloway. Dr. Christine Sleight. Dr. William.

Dr. Brack Smith has a genuine love for students and it shows through his rapport with them. They help me stay young and I learn a lot from them. I try to help them better themselves — not only academically, but also personally. he said. Dr. Smith has office time for anyone who would like to discuss any problems He feels this is as much a part of teaching as classroom involvement. I like the RU philosophy, and the student-faculty relations . Dr. Smith spends much time counseling students to guide them into something they really love as an occupation. Besides his involvement with students, Dr. Smith has many other interests. He enjoys such hobbies as fishing, stamp collecting, gardening, coaching little league basketball and baseball, and playing softball in the summer. Dr. Smith has three sons — ages 13. 11. and 9. He is an assistant Sunday school teacher at Gethsemane Baptist Church, where he also served as an usher. School related activities include announcing for the women's basketball games at home and occasionally traveling to away games with them. He attends ail men's home games and supports all University s athletic programs. He :s the chapter counselor for Sigma Phi Epsilon and has recently been involved in the new Society for Advancement of Management on campus. Dr. Smith, along with two graduates and two undergraduates. recently established the new Business Peer Advising Council. This council is responsible for advising 850 to 900 freshmen and sophomores involved in business. The council put together a planning booklet for students last summer. Dr. Smith won the Excellence in Teaching Award for 1983, in competition with 89 other teachers. Dr. Smith was selected to serve on the committee to choose the 1984 recipient. Selection was made in the spring and the award presented at graduation. Dr. Smith came to Radford University in 1979. Before he taught at New River Community College for four years. He was graduated from the University of Tennessee, received his masters at North Dakota University and his Ph D. at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I’m very nappy and content at Radford. Maybe I'm one of the lucky few in America — I'm doing just exactly what I want in terms of vocation. A lot of people can't say that. he said. I view Radford University students as my people, an extension of my home. It's sort of a 6400 member family.

We listen to music to relax after a long day of classes, to energize us for a Thursday night at Sacketts, to keep us company when our roomates go home, for the weekend and for the simple pleasure it gives us. But have you ever thought of music as being therapeutic? Well, it is. There's a whole field of study at R.U devoted to the use of music as a means for change — music therapy In a sense, everyday interactions with music can be seen as therapeutic. But. when used properly, and in the right setting, music is capable of bringing about unbe iievable changes in people with behavorial and psychological disorders. Among those who might benefit are juvenile delinquents, the mentally retarded, geriatric patients, the handicapped and mentally disturbed people. The aim of music therapy, according to the National Association for Music Therapy (NAMT), is to restore, maintain and improve mental physical health. Mr. James Boning, instructor of music therapy at R.U., describes music therapy as an emotional outlet for positive change.” Thus, music has expanded beyond its function as entertainment and has developed into a therapeutic tool used for improving people's lives. Music therapy is a young field, beginning as a profession in the 1950's. R.U s music therapy program began in 1980 and is growing rapidly. Last year it was the largest major in the music department. It's affiliated with the NAMT, therefore qualifying students who receive Bachelor of Music Therapy degrees to become registered music therapists. Earning a music therapy degree is no easy matter, the requirements of the program at R.U. are unique and demanding, and the curriculum centers around throe academic areas: music, music therapy and the behavioral and natural sciences. Students majoring in music therapy must be proficient on one primary instrument and functional on either the piano or the guitar, if either of these is their major instrument They must also take classes in all four instrument areas: string, woodwind, brass and percussion. Outside of music, they must take numerous psychology courses, biology, voice and dance classes as well. This is in addition to their required music therapy and general education courses When they finish the required curriculum, they must compelte a six month internship to complete their degree requirement. This is done, according to Dr. Joseph Scartelli director of music therapy at R.U., to produce highly qualified and knowledgeable music therapists who will become growing and productive assets to their clinical program and profession. The demands of the major are made worthwhile, according to Joe Osborne, a senior majoring in music therapy, because you are helping other people to grow.' Soothing sonata.

Freshmen parking Freshmen parking was provided last year in the lower parking lot at the Dedmon Center. It was the first year that freshmen were allowed to keep a car on campus property, but they had to pay nine dollars just as upper classmen. Pat Brooks of campus police said that 203 parking stickers had been purchased by freshmen within the first month of classes Students also had the option of renting parking spaces from a few private citizens. Some students felt that they should have been allowed to park closer to the campus instead of at the Dedmon Center. Freshman Scott Kline said, I can't believe the administration said we have to park on the lower end of the Dedmon Center, that is ridiculous. Rose Flaugher, another freshman considered it unfair and that she feared having her car on the lower level during a flood. Freshman Mark Anderson said, I believe it is discriminatory to freshmen and also dangerous for students to walk from the Dedmon Center at night. Officer Brooks said that if there had been any major problems at the parking lot, then freshmen hadn’t reported them. She also stated that there was an officer stationed around the parking lot from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. each night. “So far it has worked really well, said Brooks. One good thing about having his car at the Dedmon Center was that, I didn't just get in and drive everywhere, so I didn't spend a lot of gas money. ” said Scott Kline. 230 Freshmen Tanya Drigam A;:i$on N Drumnord Dwight Dudley John Duty Micho lo Duty Jan Djgan Juke Dumoocholle Jeame Djntord Michael Dupp Mary Duvall Carolyn A .

The first floor residents had grown accustomed to screams, laughter and mocking commands reminiscent of the battle field. Included in the raging battle were improvised sounds of guns, cannons and missies. Upon entering the room, you see two people playing with Playdo figures The fate of the figures was left to the roll of the dice. Robert Clarke, a freshman history major, carries his interest in the past a bit further than most. His favorite hobby is collecting miniature soldiers and recreating famous battles with them. Clarke became interested in this hobby about five years ago through a friend, who referred him to a shop where he could purchase miniature figures. Because the figures are no longer available in stores, he purchases them by mail. The figures range in price from 20 cents for a 15 millimeter sized man to 65 cents for the 25 millimeter small-scale wars size. His purchases range from $50 to $100. The lead figures come unpainted. Clarke must paint the figures himself. These figures resemble small-scale armies, and after painting can be used to re-create small-scale wars. To re-create war. there are manuals, also purchased separately to give rules of battle. These wars can be re-created from as far back as ancient Sumerian battles to modern day wars. Any number of players can take pari in these tiny battles There are clubs whore collectors can gather to meet fellow collectors. Some clubs give demonstrations at hobby shops in their areas. An average game can last four to eight hours. In these wars, an average of 300 to 600 figures are involved. In relation to the similarity between hobby and major, Clarke replied. I had already decided my major before starling my collection, but it did further my interests in the field of history. Historical hobby.

Sometimes they looked more like miniature furry sun-worshipers, stretched out langorously in the grass At other times they reminded one of bodyguards as they waited patiently and foreboding outside academic buildings for their people to finish class. But most of the time they looked just like what they were Campus dogs. Ah. the campus dogs! They've been threatened by various persons who would have them not exist. They're notorious for doing all the things to the campus that dogs love to do to pieces of land: they dig holes, they bark loud y (right outside classrooms), they cock their furry little legs against anything that even faintly resembles a fire hydrant (be it trashcan. tree, marble bench, or man). But one must ask oneself: What would the academic experience be without them7 Surely not the same. There would be no reason for stopping in winter on the way to classes like Advanced Composition and Probability and Statistics There would be I've heard cl horse and buggy, but dog and skateboard0 Robin Douglas catches a nde at the Spring picnic. no reason to park oneself in the shade in May on the way to the lib'a for a night of deep study And certainly no member o the university community would nave the same understanding of biology — especially reproduction — that can be gotten from watching the campus dogs in the heat of the moment, if you will. There was one common complaint about the campus dogs that was valid: They're snobs. Think about it. There's nothing more embarrassing or heart-wrenching than stopping to rub the ears of what upon first glance seems to be a rather friendly, down to earth dog. and then having that same creature stand up. yawn, and trot away Especially in winter if one is at all contem plating suicide, even teetering slightly (and many are in winter), being rejected by the campus dog could be the proverbial straw upon the back of the camel. But those high-bred, discriminating dogs are more than made up for by the rest of the pack, those that follow their masters into the classrooms; they're so devoted Those that whine and cry through Journalism Law fo their owners to return to them. Those that would tuck napkin into collar to dine in Muse Hall with their masters. Those that would, were it necessary, don a three-piece suit to become a permanent part of their owners lives. Those are dogs, by gosh' Those are Radford University campus dogs!

For commuting students, life is a different picture. During the fall of 1983 enrollment for students who attended class on campus reached 6285. Over 2700 students lived off campus. Some of these students were within walking distance of campus, but many had to drive a considerable distance. At 6:00 a.m.. the alarm clock beckons to many of these students who have an 8:00 a.m. class. One can only grin when a boarding student runs into class just before the hour begins and vows never to take another 8:00 a.m. class. Between classes, there are a variety of p aces where a commuting student can spend time. The Heth Center is a popular place. It has one of the best study areas on campus. Room 201 on the second floor is a bight, cheerful and remarkably quiet study area. Heth Center is the commuting student's favorite stop to wait for their next class or to wait for a ride home. Riding or driving time may mean as many as five hours out of every week that are used just to get to and from campus. Obviously, this time can not be used for study or recreation. This distance from campus all too often means a loss of social ties for the off-campus student. A passing hello and a classmate's first name seem to be the depth of relationships for many commuting students. Activities such as working on the yearbook or involvement with other student organizations is a way that commuting students can feel more a pan of the college community. Lower educational expenses are often a benefit of living off campus. It costs an additional $808 per quarter for an in-state student to live on campus. For area students, this is a practical reason to live with family. Even with the additional costs of transportation. several hundred dollars in educational costs can be saved each school year. There are losses and there are gains for each individual commuting student. Each student has weighed his options and has chosen to commute. The most important choice though, was the choice to further Iheir education. Their education will be the biggest and most long-lived gain.

Sherman Mary Shgrarr Becky Shockley It’s time to declare a major Decisions seem to be a fundamental part of college life. Every quarter students must decide what classes to take and which clubs to join. Some decisions, however, are much more vital than whether or not to wear a raincoat. Perhaps one of the keys of college life is declaring a major. Some lucky people arrive at their intended goal the day they walk into kindergarten; others are not so lucky. Winter quarter brings a special panic to sophomores with an undecided major because general education requirements are beginning to run out. In order to help the undecided students reach their decision, the university established the career counseling center. Some students agree that the center does indeed help. Sophomore Cathy Steb-bins claimed. I think career counseling was a big help. I also found that talking to professors in my fields of interest helped me reach my major. Some students have had some difficulty with the career center. I went to the Cen- ter but they didn't help mo. they confused me. claimed sophomore Susan Scheier. Other avenues are open to the questing students. An alternative to the counseling center. Scheier said, is research. I talked to a lot of people. Stebbins added, talking to professors about what I wanted to do. thinking about the future and finding what interested me really helped me reach my decision. It seems that declaring a major should be easy considering the exposure to career options through career counseling, but the difficulty lies in having too many interests. Stebbins said. There are so many things that I’m interested in that I had a hard time deciding what to study in depth. Berdux explained. The difficulty with deciding a major is my awareness of all my options. Although the quest is long and hard, the student is equipped with the aid of career counseling and a strong general education background. The sophomores of undecided majors struggle their way to find their future. Decisions.

I tend to frequent predominately male haunts, and occasionally smell of sweat, old gym socks and Ben-Gay. Answer: A tuna farmer from Peoria. No. A woman body-builder? Yes! Ginger Palmore, a junior psychology major. oegan lifting weights a year ago. Last June, she made the decision to compete in bodybuilding. After seeing two body-building competitions and switching from a Nautilus workout program to universal and free weights. Palmore decided to train for competition. “I made the decision to compete because all my life I’ve never been good at one sport.” she said. I've never gotten to the point where people turn their heads to look at me because of my ability.” Body-building is a very demanding sport. It's more demanding than other sports, Palmore explained “You are not only in com- petition with other body-builders, but with your own body as well.” Palmore works out six days a week, two hours a day with free weights at the Radford Barbell Club, and mornings and afternoons with Nautilus in the Dedmon Center. She alternates workouts, concentrating each day on a different part of her body. It's also important, Palmore said, to add an aerobic exercise such as biking, swimming or running to the training program. Such devotion to training has made some changes in her social life. Nutrition is as important to her training as lifting, and that means no alcohol. Palmore explained. Because I'm working so hard for competition. I don't have as much time for friends or parties.

To do justice to this special event, the junior class, under president Nick Beuter, planned ‘ Midnight Magic,” the first annual ring presentation dance, held April 23. 1983. “Galaxie, a Winston-Salem. N.C. band, and Paul Cilinski provided the enthusiastic crowd of about 175 with a variety of music ranging from funk to mellow ballads. During one of the band's breaks, a giant ring was brought out as a backdrop and the presentation ceremony began. Herff-Jones representative Ray Shelor announced the names, while Dr. David Hill made the presentations. Originally planned for March 12, the dance was postponed for more than a The junior class received their class nngs at the first annual nng dance. Midnight Magic. month because the company was late delivering the rings. To compensate for the delay. Herff-Jones contributed funds for the dance. A ring committee began planning the dance in October. As the dance grew nearer. as many as three nights per week were spent in preparation. Members of the committee were Nick Beuter. Cyndi Claytor. Debbie Clem, Jane Cooper. Joan DeLia. Gina Flournoy, Kim Mason, Pam Moore. Kathy McGuire. Janice Poore. Denise Price. Cynthia Staylor and Sonya Taylor. The amount of time it took to establish this tradition was a lot. but it was worth it!” said Beuter. Beuter also said everyone at the dance seemed to have a good time. “The band was really good, the mood faststepping. and the idea was different, he added. Those who were a part of Midnight Magic will have something to keep forever — their college rings, but more important, their participation in the birth of a tradition.

Do you: a) Roll over and pull your pillow over your head to block out the noise b) Scream obsceneties and tell them to eet lost. roggily open the door and give your best effort to bo cordial. Gertrude down the hall is a'ways looking at her feet. Just the other day you saw her coming from the post office sobbing quite loudly. Would you: a) Think to yourself. Geez what is this girls problem? b) Ignore her. after all. everybody has their down days, c) Confront her and tell her if she needs to talk to someone you will be there. It is 1:00 a.m. on Saturday and you have just come home from a date, when six very inebriated young men from Tech start yelling Radford students eat pig knuckles! while banging on doors. Would you: a) Laugh, After all it is Saturday and they are just having a little fun. b) Tell them they are filthy vermin and then run. c) Ask them in a nonbelligerent manner to leave because you would hate to call campus police. If you answered C to all of these questions. perhaps you might want to consider a position as a resident assistant, better known as an R.A. These incidents may seem a bit unreal or bizarre, but things like this actually do occur often during the course of an R.A. s job. The process of becoming an R.A. starts with an extensive series of interviews, group sessions, and applications lasting approximately six weeks before even being chosen. While in the group sessions, the prospective R.A s are constantly observed to see how they interact with others and how they dea' with certain situations that are set up for them. A high tolerance of peoples different lifestyles and personalities is crucial. Patience. an understanding nature, philanthropy and a touch of masochism is also involved in the R.A. job. And if trying to cope with 50 different personalities in the dorm hall isn't enough, an R.A must be prepared to handle situations such as fires, vandalism. suicides, fights, bomb threats, injuries, personal problems and many other not very pleasant things Aside from interacting with the residents themselves, an R.A. must also coordinate four programs consisting of a social, a community, an educational and a recreational project that must be presented every quarter. There are also reaular duty nights that an R.A. must take in. During the R.A.s duty he or she must take hourly rounds of the dorm are made to see if everything is running smoothly. A first year R.A. must take a three credit training class for their first quarter. All R.A.s must come a week before school starts to go through intense training s sions which last from 8:00 a.m. till 11 p.m. sometimes, depending on t amount of work that is needed to get t dorms ready for the arriving students. There is also paper work to be doi such as maintenance requests, and ini dent reports. Then there are the really b jobs such as going to judicial board 1 students accused of disobeying univen licies. metimes people want to believe th; R.A.s are sinister monsters who get the kicks by patrolling the halls like watcf dogs. This just isn't true. Most R.A.s ir tensely dislike it when they must repri mand someone. R.A.s would be thrilled i they never had to ask people to stop play ing tennis in the halls, to not scream dowr the halls at 3:00 in the morning and to stop cranking Ted Nugent after quiet hours As an R.A . you must absolutely not take the things people say and do personally because it you do insanity may set in by the first quarter. If the picture of R.A. life has been painted as a totally dreary picture, don't be fooled. Being an R.A. isn't for everyone. but for those who love a challenge and who enjoy dealing with people the rewards are tremendous. It is always a good feeling to know that people can rely on you whenever they need help. Sure, the life of an R.A. isn't a spring picnic all the time but it's well worth the weathering. Jennifer Keen (far right) pleads with her residents of the second floor of Madison dorm to behave themselves.

This relatively new sport is known as Hackey Sack. Hackey Sack it’s a kick! In recent years, a unique sport has emerged and begun to storm the nation, .. well, at least it has begun to catch on here at Radford University. It is a rare day in Radford that you don't see several small groups of people congregated around a little leather ball. This bean-filled bag has captured the attention and interest of many students and has developed a devout following. This newest happening which has got Radford ‘kicking around' is the game sport HACKEY SACK. It was developed in 1972 by John Stalberger in Oregon City. Oregon. Its popularity has grown so large that a National Hackey Sack Footbag Players Association was established in 1977 to govern tournament play. The rules are simple and the object uncomplicated. Although there are many variations of play, most hackey sackers establish only three rules you can t catch the sack you can't sere to yourself. and most importantly, you can t say you're sorry for missing a kick. The game is designed to be a relaxing diversion, and no real pressure is exerted on players for expertise. The basic format of Hackey Sack is that any number of people form a circle and begin kicking the sack from player to p'ayer without etting it hit the ground. The kicks that are executed range in difficulty from the basic inside of the foot kick to the more skillful back kick. Players can use one kick or any combination of kiexs to pass the sack between them. Steve Ceprich explained that The kicks arc natural movements and the intentions are ogical. A person's center of gravity revolves around their backbone and the motion evolves from there — almost like dancing. Some who play hackey sack for the first time feel a little uncoordinated but continued play provides opportunity for improvement. Jimmy Esinhare relates that. Hackey Sack is mainly eye-sack coordination. The kicks come from practice and experience, and the confidence comes from attempting and mastering ccdain maneuvers. If you stick with it your shots will progress. The benefits of playing Sack are varied and many. The motions develop flexibility, balance, quickness, concentration, and coordination, as well as. providing a social atmosphere to talk with friends, meet new people and enjoy the outdoors in a slightly physical, non-compotitive fashion Steve Billings describes Sack as. A sport that has no competition. It brings people together as one force. It's a group of people working together against the forces of gravity. If you can walk you can play Sack. Louis Howard however, sees it in a different light, as he relates that, Deep down Hackey Sack is competitive. Everyone wants to be great at it! Regardless of whether it is or is not competitive. Hackey Sack is fast becoming tne social game of the 80 s. much like the Ins-bee dominated the 70's It's participants believe that it is definitely not a passing fascination and wil endure its current fad status. Ceprich enthusiastically endorsed the Sack's staying power saying. It is up and coming, something that will last, something our Kids will play.

R.U. students met challenges and gave it their best shot. And eventually college came to mean more than grades and hard work. Indeed for every all-nighter spent running a computer program, writing a paper, or studying for an exam, there was a sunny afternoon spent at Claytor Lake, a friendly chat with a concerned professor, or a late night party with friends. After four years at the university we knew there is more to Radford than final exams and dorm rooms. The most memorable moments where those spent talking with a roommate until 3 a.m., discussing the world’s problems with a professor in the Highland room, or relaxing with friends over dinner at the Canton. It didn’t take long to realize that time at R.U. passed quickly. The clock on Muse hall reminded us of that. Four years at Radford established a foundation from which to grow. And on May 25. 1984. the seniors said goodbye to the people and places that helped to form that foundation; roommates, suite-mates and classmates; special professors that made you feel more like a person than a social security number; the Dedmon Center and McConnell Library; as well as Sackett’s and the Bus Stop. There are many memories that make up your R.U. experience, and hopefully these will help you to give the real world your best shot! 372 Closing Tuning In. ASA sister.

Everyone’s perceptions, memories and experiences are different. But hopefully this book will touch your life in some way. Many special people contributed to this book. To Dr. Taylor and the members of the Student Publications Committee: thanks for the support and guidance. To Larry Davis, Terry Moore and Brenda Brammer: thanks for helping me at the drop of a pencil. You were never too busy to help a distraught Beehive editor. To Charlie Garrison and Jim Williams: thanks for having a sense of humor and being more than sales representatives. To Wade: thanks for always being there. I’ll never forget hailing a New York taxi in the rain. To Rebecca: thanks sis, for everything! Kar-leen: thanks for typing above and beyond the call of duty. To my staff: thanks for lightening the load (physically, mentally and emotionally). I’ll never forget your dedication and hard work. And finally, to Terri, my special friend and yearbook mentor: thanks for getting me Into this mess — I never could have done it without your support and confidence. Thanks for the chance. — Jennifer Leigh Sergi Editor Acknowledgements 379 And so we graduate and move on.
