Rio son College I 54971 College Table of Contents ADMINISTRATION BUILDING RECEIVING Livin Senio One Last Look 149 PHYSICAL EDUCATION CENTER FINE ARTS CENTER After an exhaustive eight month search for a new President, the Ripon College Board of Trustees announced the appointment of William R. Stott, Jr. to the post. Stott’s career consists of admin- istrative and teaching positions at Fordham University and most re- cently, the position of Vice Presi- dent and Dean of Student Affairs at Georgetown University. Aside from his duties as President. Stott also teaches courses in Shake- speare. On a personal level. Stott enjoys ornithology, sketching, sailing, and wood carving. A devoted advocator of the liberal arts education, Stott leads Ripon College in its liberal arts tradition. He claims that as President, the primary concern is the students and the faculty — along with fund raising, endowment, financial aid, and faculty compensation. To date, Stott has implemented improvement of the building and grounds, unlike the previous ad- ministrations, is working on long range goals for the college. • •• • Because of his commitment to the liberal arts education, the Crimson staff dedicated the 1986 edition, “New Directions” to Ripon’s tenth President, Wil- liam Stott. 3 Orientation The incoming freshmen and their families covered the campus with looks of eagerness, anxiety, and confu- sion. The orientation committee worked hard getting the newcomers settled in and comfortable. The cul- ture shock the freshmen experienced began to wear off, the Orientation Committee members acting as catalysts. The committee was full of smiles and hand- shakes. The rain came down as the last of the over- stuffed cars pulled in. Their orientation program, in- cluding peer rap sessions, a trip to Green Lake and an all campus party, began, with hopes of the best year ever. Everyone mingled at Green Lake Checking these two out. freshman women were sure of their decision. Craig and Pom get to know each other Below Elaine. Cathy.

Homecoming ’85 This year’s Homecoming was once again an overall success. It began Wed. evening when the up- perclasswomen took on the freshmen in the traditional pow- der puff football game. Bad weather was cause for a postpon- ement, though. Sunday, the up- perclasswomen proved their dominance with a 20-0 shutout in the rain and mud. Friday after- noon, the annual parade bright- ened downtown Ripon with the first prize winning float of LDA and the second prize winner of Tau. Saturday turned out to be the perfect weather for the Homecoming football game. Ri- pon posted a 24-7 win over Grin- nel. Homecoming King Bob Ott and Queen Cathy Guarnieri were crowned during halftime. That night Phi Delts and SMAC spon- sored an incredible all-campus party featuring the music of the Britins. Homecoming was an en- joyable memorable event. Rembrandt, watch out! Mone. the camera is over here Ted Gray says. Hi. A real mature way ol handling roommate conflict Killer instinct comes out!

The great annual Air-Guitar contest began on Friday with the prelims. Saturday Theta Chi sponsored Tug-of-War. where the Bartlett Beauties came in first and Second Evans following close behind in strength. The finals for Air-Guitar took place Saturday night. The Erectones were live and took the $100 dollar first place. The action-packed weekend continued with a performance by the band London. USA Winterfest '86 was an incredible celebration.

Jr. as President of Ripon College at the inaugura- tion on Saturday. October 12. 1985. The conferring of the honor- ary degrees followed the installation with the Doctor of Humane Letters presented to Robert P. Ashley. Ph. D. (Professor of English Emeritus. Ripon College), the Reverend Timothy Healy. S.J. (Presi- dent of Georgetown University), and George M. Miller, Ph.D. (Pro- fessor of History Emeritus. Ripon College). William Stott delivered his inaugural address in which he spoke large- ly on the liberal education asserting that The mandate of a Liberal Education is inclusive and therefore far more representative of reali- ty than any merely specialized view. It possesses an inherent dignity for it celebrates the multiplicity of reality in a context. Following the address. J. Mark Thomas. Ripon College Chaplain, gave the benediction. 14 Ripon College has kept the faith and I aft) privi- leged to be a part of it. I wish to make it clear that I take very seriously the stewardship that has been granted me as president. I am. with pain, aware of my own limitations in assuming this re- sponsibility but. at the same time. I am, with hope, aware that by virtue of the grace of God and the efforts of my colleagues, we will be able to reinvigorate, in this good place, the great “reading together that is the collegium. -excerpt of the Inaugural Address by William R. Stott, Jr. 15 The Art of Fun Famine relief victims Artist in Residence: Devon Campbell Lamp post replacements Springfest The biggest party weekend of the school year is Ripon’s Springfest. The main difference this year was that the bands all played inside. There was a great variety of bands, from reggae to harder, punk rock. The most popular bands seemed to be The Elvis Brothers and The Booze Brother Revue. The reggae band and The Sub- urbs certainly added a lot of cultural spice. Once again the Dudly Riggs Brave New Workshop put on a good show, improvising scenes about the townies scooping the loop, $5 fines for taking off window screens, and the Merrimen guarding their composite. The big bash of tunes and brews was a grand success. Everyone is (well, most are) left with lots of memories of an unbelievable time.

A total of thirteen runners roughed it through mud, rain. cold, humidity, and the infa- mous red GLC (the team's less than dependable means of transportation). Both the men’s and women's teams proved that they could be competitive with conference schools and the larger U.W. schools. Numbers were low due to injuries and academics. Thus, both teams had problems fielding a complete team of seven runners at every meet. The '85 Ripon Harriers were led by a talented junior. Jay Allen. Jay proved that he was a runner to be contended with in the conference and the state. Other leaders on the team included seniors Al Daus. Connie Kempen. and Ka- ren Kordus. Next year’s outlook appears hopeful. With only three seniors departing and an increased awareness of the team on campus, the Harriers should have a promising '86 fall season. — Mike Pierson Football Ripon Redmen Seniors — row 1: Tim Fend.

The Redmen de- feated Grinnell 24-13. The weather allowed a great weekend of fun for everyone. People of all ages were among the crowd to cheer the Redmen on to a tremendous victory. The Redmen followed up their victory by defeating Beloit 26-13. Everyone on the team put forth their best effort to make this an exciting season. The Redmen ended their season 2-5 in their confer- ence. and 2-7 overall in the Northern Division. Senior Steve Feyrer was named to the All-Midwest Football Club for the second consecutive year. Feyrer caught 62 passes for 823 yards this year. He was the highest ranked receiver in Wisconsin, and ranked eighth in the nation in NCAA Division 3. With a great number of strong freshmen this past year, things look very promising for next year. Coaches - row 1: Gillespie (asst, of- fense).

The conference standing was 3 wins and 2 losses. The season had a slow start but gained mo- mentum coming into the tournament hosted by Lakeland College. The team took first place with sophomore Barb Blahnik being named MVP of the tournament. The team continued the season in its on again, off again manner. The spikers attended a tournament in Chicago, playing Lake Forest, the number one team. After beating Lawrence, the team came up against the University of Chicago, but lost the match. Ripon then played St. Norbert’s but unfortunately a loss was in store for this match also. The spikers closed the season by beating both Beloit and Lawrence. The talents of senior all conference player Shari Piehl and the other seniors Sue Kissinger and Dana Dickensen will be greatly missed. However, the return of the spikers. including alf conference player, Liz Otto will give Ripon’s volleyball fans something to look forward to in 1986. front row: Sandy Secor. Jeanna King. Mary Bestor.

Women’s Tennis In Coach Wickstrom’s sixth season with the Women’s Tennis Team, he took a group of players com- posed of a diversity of backgrounds and experiences in tennis and created a team. Some of the Net- ters had not played for a while, but with a little practice they improved. Coach Wickstrom ‘is a good coach and knew what skills to improve,” said Krissy Mahler. This was the second year the Netters played in the Women’s Midwest Conference. Although the team got off to a rocky start, once they started to really play, they came together as a team. The Netters lost their first three matches to Lawrence, Oshkosh, and Cornell. They detested U.W. Green Bay 5-2, and Beloit on Parent’s Day 5-4. Ripon then fell victim to St. Norbert and Stevens Point, and tied U.W. Parkside. ending the season with a 2-5-1 record in dual competition. Betsy Hart, a senior, after losing her first two matches, started to work with Bret Roeker on her men- tal strategy and game. Betsy came back to win the rest of her matches, beating rivals from: Cornell 4- 6, 6-4, 6-3; St. Norbert 6-2, 6-3; Beloit 6-1, 6-1; U.W. Stevens Point 6-3, 6-1; and Green Bay. In the Midwest Tennis Championships the Netters placed 8th out of 12 teams. Their score at the was singles-20, doubles-3. Betsy ended her last season on the team 6-2. At Championships, Betsy took the title of number 1 singles player, beating Lawrence, the toughest in the conference. Betsy and Krissy won Consolation Doubles. Betsy contributes her performance during the season to Bret Roecker, and extends a special thanks to him for making this season so great for her. v David Jonas front row: Li Beniamin. Heidi Klein.

Men’s Soccer Inconsistency sums up the performance of the Ripon Men's soccer team coached by Dave Scott. The team ended its season in 5th place with a record of 4-4-4. The Redmen started its season on a high note with a win against Loras and a tie with U.W. Platteville, two teams which they had lost to in the previous season. Their trouble started with the next game that ended in a tie against U.W. Whitewater. Then, their first conference game, against Lawrence ended 0-3. one of their two worst performances of the season. The team made a comeback in its next game with a 3-1 win over Beloit, only to lose 0-6 to National. They then played their best all season in their Homecoming game with Northland, beat them 3-1. Although the team was plagued by its inconsistency. MVP Goalkeeper John Swallen and forward Brents Olmsted were not. Throughout the season. Swallen gave the team steady and successful blocking while Olmsted worked towards title-leading scorer. With its new faces and enthusiasm, the Redmen improved tremendously from last year’s 2-8-1 record both in competitiveness and in the quality of their games. — Ann Sievers Johnny Swallen MVP Goal- keeper left: Robin Reilly gets it going in the right direction and Joe Cullen helps out. Women’s Soccer The lights flashed and the sirens blared in '85 as the Ripon Women’s Soccer team brought home its first wins ever. Headed in the right direction, the squad posted a 3-4-1 season record bettering the previous year’s 0-7 mark. An influx of talented recruits and an overall positive team attitude helped set the kickers on the road to victory. Lawrence apparently sat back and left the driving to Ripon in their first season match-up as Janna Beatty and Sally Beaumont cruised a total of 7 goals to Lawrence’s 2. On the return trip. Ellen Hauert. Sue Lapp, and Becky Welk hit on a scoring spurt in the last few minutes of the first half to out-distance the Larries again. 3-1. The ladies pulled over a frantic Beloit squad for their third win of the season, with early goals from Lapp. Beaumont, and Beatty, and 2 late-breaking goals from Hauert. Overall. Beatty led the Ripon scorers with 8 goals. Beaumont followed with 5. Hauert, Lapp and Welk contributed 3 a piece; and Stephanie Muntiu picked up 1. The seldomly recognized defensive crew built around veterans Jackie Baur. Dana Francois. Maureen Farry. Livy Hecht, Kris O'Konski, and Alice Lightner got an added boost from freshmen Alesha Smith at goalie. Kristin Adomeit. Carolyn Agacinski. and Milda Vickerman at fullback. Two Riponites were selected by the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association for All-State honors. For- ward Janna Beatty and halfback Sue Lapp were each named to the second team. According to head coach Tony Cristan, the team has “come a long way.” The Midwest Conference has received its warning this year. The Ripon Kickers look promising as only 1 member, team captain Ellen Hauert. will be lost to graduation. — Qonnie Kempen front row: Connie Kempen (asst Coach). Kristin Adomeit. Jackie Baur.

The Redmen started the year out right with a 108-65 win over Northland College. They then faced a couple non-conference losses before turning red hot for the rest of the season. Ripon's only losses in conference play were to St. Norbert’s and Beloit, and the Redmen gained revenge against both of them. Ripon, Beloit, and St. Norbert were all contenders for the Northern Division Title. The Redmen knocked the St. Norbert Knights out of the race with two games remaining when they defeated them 72-62. Ripon won the Northern Division Championship by defeating its last two opponents. These victories were over the University of Chicago (84-63) and Lake Forest (76-60). They went on to the playoff game against the Southern Division winner, Monmouth, with a 12-2 conference record and 17-5. overall. The Redmen claimed the Midwest Conference title by defeating Monmouth 77-65. This game earned a ranking of eighth in the NCCA Division 3. Ripon downed the North Park Vikings 68-65 in the first game of the NCAA Division 3 playoffs. This was the 13th straight game that the Redmen had won. The Redmen lost their hope of a National Championship by losing to Illinois Wesleyan 63-57 in the fin- als of the Midwest Regionals. They finished with a 19-6 overall record. Coach Gillespie praised his entire team for their unselfish attitude that contributed to their winning season. Captain Tom Reader became Ripon’s all-time scoring leader in the middle of the season and added to his total the rest of the year. He ended his career with 1810 points. This broke Terry Cramer’s pre- vious record of 1503 points. Tom was the team’s leading this season as he had been for the last two • years. This season Tom Reader tied for first in the Midwest Conference scoring an average of 22.8 points per game. Tom was also named to the All Midwest Conference-First Team for the third straight year. Senior Jay Erdman was named to the All Midwest Conference-Second Team. Jay led the Redmen in rebounds with a 5.2 average. He shared the field goal percentage honors with Junior Dan Clark. Both shot 59 percent for the year. Jay became the number three all-time scorer for the Redmen with 1338 points. Other seniors who contributed much to the success of this year's team were Pat Tharp and Rick Leonhard. Juniors Dan Clark and Lee Zarnott received All Midwest Conference Honorable Mention. Dan was sec- ond in the Midwest conference in assists with an average of six per game. Dan also set a new season assist record for Ripon with 150 assists. Terry Cramer held the previous record with 119. — Pam Nohr Redmen Win Midwest Conference Title No. Name Year Pos. 10 Pat Tharp Sr. G 12 Bob Letsch So.

With five freshmen out of the eleven wres- tlers it would seem as if it would take time to get into the flow of the season. However, this was not the case. Under Coach Resop's direction many high places were won. Senior Pat Hornicle was the wild card qualifier for the NCAA Division 3 Nationals. Pat finished second in the Nationals. He finished in first place at the Lawrence and Ripon Invitationals and also in the Wiscon- sin Private Invitational College Championships. Pat's overall record was 17-4. Todd Ciesielzyk, a junior, wrestled in the heavy weight class, another contributing factor to the Red- men’s success. Todd’s record for the year was 9-4 with a second place at the Conference meet. Another strength of the team was sophomore Jerome Webb. Jerome also took a first at the Wiscon- sin Private College Championships. He placed first at Lawrence and third at our own invitational. With a record of 19-8. he will be a welcome competitor for next year. The Redmen finished fifth at the Midwest Conference Championships. The returning talent of Todd. Jerome, and the new experienced freshmen should lead to an even more improved season. top: Pat Hornicle. Jim Girourd. Matt Kittell. bottom: Tony Wegner Jerome Webb.

Jell Thompson, and Tom Young Men’s Swimming After losing some of their best swimmers the Men's Team started their 1985-86 season with a num- ber of recruits. As time went on, the snails were weeded out from the Barracudas and a team was created. The senior captains Marty McAuliffe and Phil Richmond led the Redmen to a seventh place in the Midwest Conference. The team came out fighting, swimming circles around Carrol, 57-41. They were defeated by Law- rence. 35-76, but came back to defeat Carthage 63-30, and Knox. 48-8. The team placed third in the Wisconsin Private Championship. The Redmen were defeated by Oshkosh, and then Lawrence. Beloit fell to the Redmen. 62-51 to complete the 4-3-0 record. Marty placed 12th in the 200 free style and 8th in the 500 free style in the prelims at conference. Phil placed 4th in the 1650 free style and 6th in the 500 free style in the Private Championships. The rest of the team helped out in scoring at conference and made major improvements over the season. David Rocco and Scott Fuller joined Charlie Bartholet to create a diving team which did very well. John Matthews, Bill Youngs, Craig Theander, and Chris Carow scored highly. Jim Patten. David Jonas. Carl Thompkins, and Jim Harper also aided the team in its effort to place well in conference. The Redmen are looking forward to the next season. The team hopes to see a much larger turnout for members, as well as spectators. — David Jonas mr w Women’s Basketball Rising to the height of its potential, the Ripon Women's Basketball team tied for second place in the Northern Division of the Midwest Conference with a 7-3 record (15-3 overall). Nationally ranked St. Norbert stole the show, beating the Redmen twice and going undefeated in conference play. Ripon's third loss came from an off-beat game with the University of Chicago, with whom they share the run- ner-up position. Senior co-captains Suzy Eskola and Shari Piehl received top-billing throughout the season and were aided by a fine cast of supporting players Dee Dee Roell and Barb Blahnik starred under the boards, eraging 8.2 and 7.1 rebounds per game, respectively. Toni Miller and Sheryl Brighum shared the spot- light at point guard, with Miller tallying 64 assists and Brighum 36. Pat Gonyo made the conference's top ten field goal shooters list, sinking 50.8% of her attempts. As stand-ins, Mij Marusek. Sandy Secor, and Gina Woeger await their big break after providing solid back-up support all season long. Eskola and Piehl, the best duo to hit Ripon since washing machines and cookies, will each end their careers with an impressive list of accomplishments. This season alone. Eskola ranked sixth in scoring and fourth in assists, while Piehl was second in free-throw shooting and eighth in scoring for the Mid- west Conference. In her three-year career. Eskola tallied 805 points and set Ripon's single season scoring record at 321. Eskola led all Ripon players for single season assists with 74. She received first team All-Conference honors for the second year in a row; and she was named MVP for the 85-86 season by team vote. Ripon’s all-time leading scorer, Shari Piehl. caught the camera’s eye as she tallied 1146 points in her four years with the Redmen. Piehl, an All-American nominee as a freshman, received honorable men- tion in the Midwest Conference. The broad range of talent demonstrated by Eskola and Piehl will certainly be missed next year. Toni Miller and Barb Blahnik will replace them as captains, while Pat Gonyo. Dee Dee Roell. and Gina Woeger are favored to pick-up the scoring slack. With St. Norbert losing several key players confer- ence title hopes may be in order.

MIPON � nMES Fencing Firsts The 1985-86 fencing season was a year of firsts in many ways. Several Ripon fencers participated in their first tournaments; Ripon hosted its first fencing competition; and the club gained its first mem- ber with a C ranking. In the fall new members learned the basics of fencing and prepared for the two tournaments to be held in Ripon in February. In the first of these, the Wisconsin Team Foil, the Ripon women's team of Betsy Meyers, Pam Thompson, and Stephanie Gehring took third place, avenging a defeat to Law- rence University in a friendly competition the week before. The men’s team was not as successful, but Coach Dave Scott took second, fencing with teammates from Madison and Beaver Dam. At the second tournament, the Wisconsin Closed Foil individual tournament. Betsy and Dave each placed fifth. These were the first official competitions for most of the club members. Each member won at least one bout. A team competition against Beloit. Lawrence, and Knox was missed due to misunderstanding direc- tions, but team members continued to fence in individual tournaments put on by the U.S. Fencing As- sociation. The greatest successes were registered by Coach Dave who won his C ranking by winning a foil tournament in February, and later won all three titles — foil, sabre, and epee — at the State Divi- sional Class 2 meet. At the Class I Divisional, Greg Handrick and Keith Vacek joined Scott and fenced sabre for the first time. The three finished 9th, 10th, and 3rd respectively. We look forward to building on our increasing experience next year and hope to become a major USFA tournament site. — Dave Scott left, sitting — Keith Vacek. standing — Greg Han- drick.

A women's swim club was instituted in the fall of 1985. The Women Redmen joined the Men’s Swim team in three meets. What in the beginning seemed to be a very popular club, consisting of twelve swimmers dwindled to eight. The Redmen put up a great fight in every meet they participated in. The Women swam against Carroll (25-49), Lawrence (27-41), Carthage (15-76). and in the Knox Invitational. Most of the wom- en had never swum competitively and had a great experience. Karen Kordus, Anne Trattner. and Katherine Zech were the senior members. The women hope that in the future the club will become a team and more women will come out for the sport. — Dave Jonas le(t Karen Kordus. Dana Francois.

Tallying an 11-4 season record, the Redmen easily trounced their opponents taking home four of the conference singles titles and all three of the doubles titles. The future glistens with Ripon’s top five players being sophomores or freshmen. Senior Jimmy Lar- son. who marked a 15-5 overall record at no. 6 singles will be the only player to move on. Hailing from Japan. Hiroshi Ohtsuka teamed up with Larson at no. 3 doubles to place first in the conference, 14-4 overall. Individually. Ohtsuka went 15-4 at no. 4 singles bringing home his respective singles title. Mark Baladad (12-8) faced some of the toughest competition in the nation at no. 1 singles. Defeated in his first match of the tournament, he had to settle for consolation champ at conference. Baladad and Zsolt Juhasz formed an unstoppable duo at no. 1 doubles, claiming the conference title and re- ceiving a bid to nationals with their 17-3 season record. Juhasz (16-2) earned the no. 3 singles title. At no. 2 singles. Rick Bowhousen (14-5) took the title handily. Bowhousen and Brett Roecker colla- borated at no. 2 doubles to bring home the conference title, going 16-3 overall. Roecker. a freshman, held down the no. 5 singles position winning the conference title. According to head coach Chuck Larson, the squad’s biggest victory came against Carlton. 6-3. Carl- ton was ranked eighth in the nation at the time. A repeat performance looks probable for the Redmen as they go into the 1987 season.

There were many activities planned this year, centering around the theme. “Anglo-American Interdependence ’ Dr. Stewart Tave. the Dean of the University of Chicago spoke Sunday. May 18. His speech was entitled “My England. Connie Kempen. one of the 162 graduates, also spoke at the commencement. Dr. Tave was one of three to receive honoary degrees. George McGregor from the col- lege in Ripon. England and Anne Armstrong, ambassador to Great Britain, joined him. Although weather was threatening Saturday, the sun shone on Ri- pon's commencement, 1986. Smiles, hugs, tears, and laughter were shared by all. One last look One final note • • • New directions. Our school is going in new directions. We now have a new exciting president. We gained a good number of new faculty members this past year. Student input was great in drawing up blue prints for Tri-dorms new look, soon to come. After a lot of fundraising, Ingall's field received new bleachers. A new energy was found in the students this year as seen in the anti-apartheid protests, the Basketball champs, our own theatre in the round, and the Bashes” and the Smashes. Ripon College has turned a corner. This new direction has brought a fresh air through campus. With these great changes, we try to remember to take time to spend with our special friends, time to participate in all the clubs, organizations, and sports Ripon has to offer, as well as, studying hard at our courses. Also important is taking time for ourselves to collect our thoughts and just reflect on our time at Ripon. I regret not enough time was taken on this book. I apologize to those misrepresented. I guess we should be thankful that a book was actually completed. At one point, the fate of the yearbook was questionable. I would like to thank Diana Conrad, Val Cohn, David Jonas, Dan Vacek. Tanya Bennett, Marc Robson, Todd Markcs, Pam Nohr, Connie Kempen, Kim McDavid. Lee Reinsch. Amy Church. Mark Nelson. Scott Biederwolf. Lourie Goeden, Tammy Chernos, Keith Vacek. Paul Lane of Herff Jones. Andy Miller and Cathy McGinley. Take time to think — It is the source of power. Take time to laugh — It is the music of the soul. Take time to give — The day is too short to be selfish. Take time to love and be loved — It is the privilege of all people. Linnea Hempel 141 • . « y 0 tiron couxoc uikakt 5234 21 w 0 01
