FRIDAY OCT 31 HALLIWEEN PARTY $500 IN CASH PRIZES 8 Prologue . . . the PULSE of Plattsburg A Pittsburgh Weekend Far From Typical A Typical weekend in Plattsburgh — is there such a thing? Each person has his or her own idea on this. To some, it may be spent study- ing, to some drinking, to some hanging out, the list goes on and on. It ' s Friday afternoon — the question is raised what are you doing this weekend. It may be answered by — hitting the books all weekend. One may find that the weekend is when he or she can get their work done -. Another may answer the question by going out, definite- ly Downtown is a familiar scene for most on either Friday or Saturday night or both. ' Monopoles — and its famous pizza, Woodstock ' s and midnite buzz and of course Filions and it ' s beer blasts are common stops . Another option to the question of what to do this weekend may be just hanging out . This answer can be taken in a variety of ways for example going to the sport events — rugby, soccer, hockey . may be one way. Another may be shopping, while still another may be watching the movie offered on Sunday night. AHina ' l option to the question may be traveling to another state With Montreal to the north, and Vermont to the west, escaping may be the answer. A typical weekend in Plattsburgh offers a variety of ideas. -With-so much -to offer it really shouldn ' t be classified as typical. ■.

Jim Smith- No Parking, Dirty Laundry, and other Problems! An account of life at Pittsburgh would not be complete (or accurate) without menti.on-.ol some ot the day-to-day hassles faced by PSUC stu- dents in their pursuits of higher education. Parking, or lack of it, will probably be one of the most remembered problems of the 1986-87 academic year. Increased enrollment brought I more students and more cars to PSUC, while the I number of available -parking spaces remained the same. Student vehicle owners arriving m September were dismayed to find the parking 1 s lots behind Banks Hall and ovation. Although the Banks parking lot was re- opened in late September, two months before the projected completion date, the cars still out- numbered the parking spaces. Restrictions on the number of students allowed to have cars on campus will be instituted for the up:ommg year: However, this did not alleviate this year ' s incon- venience to students (and faculty) nor the in- tense competition for available spaces. Laundry also ranks high on the list of hassles at PSUC. Thirty or more students competing for one washer and dryer usually means that the machines are in use 24 hoursa day, seven daysa week The machines frequently break dofan! which intensifies the competition for any re- maining machines; ' , The frequent breakdown, -of elevators in the high-rise dorms is another PSUC hassle, espe- cially for those residents who must trek up and jdflwn several-flights of stairs until the elevators are repaired. Each PSUC student has specific pet peev.es about campus life, but one that is virtually uni- ■-versa I concerns the noise levels in the library. Although Late Njght Study on the first floor pro — videsa place for group study and discussion, the ' prime study hours (after dinner to the library ' s closing time) on the upper floors have often been described as social hour Casual, conversa- tions make concentration difficult, and ' often , force students to find alternative times and places to study. However, despite these and other hassles, . PSUC students demonstrate their resiliency by ' accepting any setbacks in stride, all as part of campus life. ; i.., Sue Harris I hush fell over the audience as the A house lights dimmed at Hartman Theatre. It was February 26, 1986, opening night for Pittsburgh State ' s Mainstage Production of Fiddler on the Roof. Parades of approximately forty performers, from a variety of majors, sang and danced to the opening song Tra- dition . The opening number sparked the audi- ence ' s attention and interest, and put them in an expectant mood. Throughout the evening a feeling of warmth, compassion, sadness, and fear, was in- stilled in most audience members. The audience ' s laughter and occasional tears flowed from one act to the next. From scene to scene, act to act, they were captivated by the humor and calamity that the talented young actors and actresses set off. Under the direction of Donna Vaughn, Joseph Harding and Dianne Droessler led the ensemble as Tevye and his nagging wife, Golde. Musical director Richard Zielinski kept his pit orchestra up to beat, as the hard working cast entertained a full house night after night. The musical ran from February 26 through March 1, and then from March 5 through the 8. It was one experience that the students and faculty involved in it won ' t soon forget. Cardinal 1987 19 II My Sons , the second mainstage production in the fall semester of 1986 was a great suc- cess. The show ran from October 28 — Novem- ber 1, and November 5 — November 8. Directed by H. Charles Kline, this three act drama is set in an American town in 1947. The small cast of ten performers enter- tained hundreds of people. At times the audience would laugh until tears came to their eyes. At other times tears came to their eyes without laughter. This powerful drama created an emotion in the air that was extremely intense. Leading actors Joe Harding, who portrayed Joe Keller, and Da- vid Dubin, who portrayed Joe ' s son Chris, lived up to that intense emotion. At times they had the audience and fellow actors in the palm of their hands with their back- and-forth dialogue. Krista Roll, who played Kate, and Mi- chelle Vedder, who played Anne, portrayed their leading lady characters extremely well. The rest of the cast included Denis Dufresne as Dr. Jim Bayliss, Jill Greenberg as his wife Sue, Bob Hegeman as George, Danny Capson as Frank, Lori LaBarre as his wife Lydia, and Plattsburgh seventh grader Judd Morrisey as Burt. All My Sons was part of the demanding repertory sequence of Fall Mainstage Pro- ductions. Its performances alternated weekly with The Journey of the Fifth Horse . Denis Dufresne The 1987 Cardinal Yearbook Staff regrets not having coverage of The Journey of the Fifth Horse , because attempts for coverage were de- nied by Journey director Eric Salmon. f J 20 Arts and Entertainment Cardinal 1987 21 22 Arts and Entertainment mm ■MM he Cardinal Singers Vocal Chamber is a rapidly rising choral group at Pitts- burgh State. The group is made up of Plattsburgh State ' s top vocal perform- ers. They meet three days a week with choral director Mr. Richard Zielinski. The combination of this flamboyant di- rector and these energetic singers produces a beauti- ful harmonic sound. This is not the type of group that one can walk in and sing along with. The group has commitment to the very challenging selections that they perform. The group spends each semester preparing for their annual concert. The Cardinal Singers are fortunate enough to have access to St. John ' s church and St. Peter ' s for their performances. The Cardinal Singers are one of many outstanding performing groups that stem from Plattsburgh State ' s high quality music department. Denis Dufresne 24 Arts and Entertainment Cardinal 1987 25 Art is an important aspect of the cultural atmo- sphere here at Plattsburgh State. It ' s obvious that a number of people from the college and the commu- nity have a great deal of interest and respect for art. The Art majors here at Plattsburgh and the various galleries throughout the city are good examples. The bulk of the artwork here at P.S.U.C. is located in the Myer ' s Fine Arts buildingand the Rockwell Kent Gallery in Feinberg Library. The lobby on the first floor of the Myer ' s Fine Arts building serves as a place for student arts exhibits. Throughout the year, drawings, paintings, photo- graphs, sculptures, and various other art forms cre- ated by the students are displayed. The students whose works are displayed get a deep sense of pride not only because it ' s their work being shown but also because their fellow students and other people see what they ' ve done. The second floor of the building serves as a sanc- tuary for t he campus ' oldest gallery. A full set of historical and contemporary exhibitions is displayed here each year. The biggest of the galleries on campus is the Rockwell Kent Gallery. A great deal of paintings, drawings, books, and other items of the late Rock- well Kent are found here. Kent was one of the lead- ingartists of his time and lived for a number of years in the Adirondacks. The Kent Gallery is also the home of the college ' s permanent art collection. With all the works of art available here in Platts- burgh, student art enthusiasts have a lot to be ex- cited about during the time they are here at P.S.U.C. Jim Hillbilly Smith 26 Arts and Entertainment SYMPHONIA I he Sinfonia consists of approximately nine musicians T playing string instruments, such as violins and violas, who meet once a week to practice their art. Conducted by Evelyn Reed, a member of Plattsbugh State ' s part-time teaching staff and a musician in an area string quartet, the Sinfonia performs classical works, such as those by - Hyden, in concert recitals for the public. Most of their concerts are held in Hawkins Hall Auditorium. This small, tightly-knit group of musicians enjoys performing and devoting their free time to bring life to classical music. Robin Lake fc5 onducted by Thomas Erdmann, the Pitts- burgh State Jazz Ensemble has performed various concerts in the Hartman theater, the dining halls, and the Point. The sixteen mem- bers of the student band play both original compositions created by their conductor, and works by jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Don Ellis, and Count Basie. The ensemble practices several hours a week to polish their upbeat swing and melodic tone. Featured solo performances within several of the group ' s pieces show each member ' s individual style and talent. The ensemble mixes originality and individuality with the rhythm and blues of jazz music, creating a colorfully enjoyable treat for the audience ' s ears. Robin Lake 30 Arts and Entertainment JAZZ ENSEMBLE Cardinal 1987 31 What is a Brown Bag? The Brown-Bag serves a three-fold purpose. One, it provides fledgling and experienced directors a chance to put up their own production. Two, it enables actors the opportunity to fulfil in-class projects in a performance atmosphere. Lastly, but not least in importance, it provides the campus and community with an en- lightening and entertaining lunch hour once per week. Known to theatre students as works-in-progress, various one- act plays have been done by outstanding, contemporary writers such as David Hamit, Christopher Durang, and Israel Horowitz as well as a large variety of classical pieces by Strindberg, Ibsen, and Chekov. Lately, there have been full length evening productions such as The Stronger and Miss Julie. These productions are usually free and open to all. The Theatre department is proud of its directing program and invites students who are interested to get involved. The College Theatre Associaiton also asks students to come to them with their ideas. They even have money budgeted for student productions should you have a play that you would like to see produced. The Theatre Arts are happening at the Myer ' s Fine Arts building year-round. David F. Dubin Cardinal Close-up An Interview with Dr. Charles Kline On Thursday, December 18, we visited our choice for the Arts Entertain- ment Cardinal Close-up : Dr. Charles H. Kline. Dr. Kline received his B.S. at Missouri State College, his M.F.A. at Yale University, and his P.H.D. at the University of Denver. Dr. Kline, originally from Illinois, came to Pitts- burgh in 1964 because he knew there were new opportunities here at Pittsburgh State. He soon after became involved in Pittsburgh ' s up-and-corn- ing Theatre department. When he first arrived at Pittsburgh State the school didn ' t offer a major in Theatre. He taught classes in speech and other areas related to the- atre. Now, 23 years later, Pittsburgh State offers a major in theatre and Dr. Kline is teaching various courses relative to theatre. While reflecting back on the past, Dr. Kline stated with a hint of laughter, Since I ' ve been here they have built twenty-two new buildings. PLAYS AND PEOPLE I don ' t lean towards any one kind of literature. I try to choose literature which I think would be valu- able to the students. One thing Dr. Kline does like to see is Pittsburgh produce a wide variety of lit- eratures over a period of 5-6 years. Although the attendance for the mainstage pro- ductions aren ' t as good as Dr. Kline would like them partment to be very good and having a lot to offer. The program here is very individualized. I get to know the students pretty well during their stay here. One thing Dr. Kline tries to get across to the students during their stay is the difference between a live performance by real live human beings as opposed to a TV. or movie performance. An interesting side note is that all of the Pitts- burgh graduates tend to get employed very quickly. During Dr. Klines stay here at Pittsburgh he has directed many plays This years plays were All My Sons , by Arthur Miller and Hot L. Baltimore , by Lanford Wilson. OUTSIDE OF ACADEMA The first question we asked Dr. Kline that didn ' t concern academia was, What about your family life? He humorously stated, I have been married quite a while and went on to say, It doesn ' t really seem that long. Dr. Charles Kline has two daughters. One is mar- ried with three children and the other is a Freshman at Alfred University and is studying in Ceramics. Dr. Kline has many hobbies, which include read- ing, walking, swimming, and most of all traveling. He enjoys visiting people in other places. His favor- ite places to visit are Canada, New York, and Lon- don. That ' s a quick look at our Arts and Entertainment Cardinal Close-up Dr. Charles H. Kline. Denis Dufresne The program here is very individ- ualized. I get to know the students pretty well during their stay here. to be, he feels that the kick back from the students is positive. In relation to music and theatre, this positive attitude seems to hold true for most college campus ' around the country. Dr. Kline has taught in many different schools, including locations such as Colorado, Massachu- setts, Missouri, and in the Army. Compared to other schools, Dr. Kline finds the Pittsburgh Theatre de- 34 Arts and Entertainment Cardinal 1987 35 Be A Star his year, as a part of the annual Airband Competition, TPIattsburgh State was treated to concerts by Bos- ton, Van Halen, The Partridge Family, Billy Idol, those crazy kids from The Big Shill, and a new band on the scene, Darrin and the Greek Geeks. Tick- ets to see this gala event cost only a dollar, so how could you go wrong? And the best part about it was that the performers were your fellow classmates and people that you may have partied with downtown. The winner of this fall ' s competition was Darrin and the Greek Geeks, a group of eight guys who choreographed a sexy version of Louie, Louie from the classic campus film Animal House. The togas came off and oxfords went on, as they went into Bob Segar ' s Old Time Rock n ' Roll. Second place went to Chris Czajkowski and his band who performed to music by Billy Idol. Third place went to the group Van Halen, led by Mike Devivo. Devivo topped off the group ' s act by doing a back flip off of the drum platform. Honorable mentions were given to Doug Cusa of Boston, for best musician, and Rick Melara of The Partridge Family for best vocalist. The Partridge Family surprised the audi- ence by breaking into a punk version of David Cassidy ' s love song I Think I Love You, during their perfor- mance. The crowd was enthusias- tic and often sang along with the performers. Airband is a tradition at Plattsburgh State, and this year ' s com- petition added to the list of events that will be remem- bered long after the bright lights of stardom have faded away. Chris Merrill 36 Arts and Entertainment The Center for Art, Music and Theatre presents ELIJAH n December 7, 1986 the Cardinal Singers joined the Champlain Valley Oratorio Soci- ety and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, to perform the oratorio Elijah. Elijah is the biblical story of the prophet Elijah told through music. Written by Felix Mendels- sohn and first performed in 1846, Elijah combines orchestral background music with choral com- mentary, and solo works depicting the main characters. Months of practice and preparation went into the ora- torio ' s final presentation. The many singers and musi- cians worked hard to bring the written words and music to life, Richard Zielinski, director of the Cardinal Singers, sang the solo tenor pieces for the characters of Obadiah and Ahab. Baritone Mark Rucker, from the Champlain Valley Oratorio Society, sang the part of Elijah. Other solo artists included Christine Donahue as the Widow and the Angel, Laurie R. Szablewski, PSUC graduate, as the Angel and the Queen, and Neil Peden as the Youth. The perfor- mance was sold out and deeply enjoyed by all who attend- ed. Elijah provided a musical treat that will be remem- bered for years to come. Robin Lake 39 The PRETENDERS I n January 14th 1987, the long awaited Pretenders concert fi- nally took place. Initially sched- uled for the middle of the fall semester, later re-scheduled for the end of the fall semester, and actually taking place at the beginning of the spring semester, the Pre- tenders concert was postponed for rumored reasons that ranged from the death of the band ' s soundman, to the death of Chrissie Hynde ' s nanny, to problems with the band ' s passports. The problems continued up until curtain time when Iggy Pop, the opening act, cancelled because of bad weather and a new opener had to be found. The Cuts, a Burling- ton, Vermont band, took Iggy Pop ' s place to warm-up the audience before the Pretenders came on stage. The long wait for the concert was worthwhile when the show finally took place. The Pretenders, opening their World Tour, rocked the fieldhouse with songs from their Get Close album. Room Full of Mir- rors, and earlier material such as Pre- cious, My City was Gone (Ohio), and Brass in Pocket, were among the songs that were played. The concert was especially daz- zling in its use of lighting. Fantastic colors and special lighting effects flashed before the eyes of the 2500 people who attended the concert, as the rocking music of the Pretend- ers filled the air. Special thanks goes to the Concert Committee for all their hard work in bringing the Pretenders to PSUC. Robin Lake 40 Arts and Entertainment Carnival Capers The annual Campus Carnival fea- tured student-run booths of skill, chance and fun. Taking place in the Myers Fine Art Angell College Center Plaza, it was a huge suc- cess involving the community of Clinton County and on and off campus students. Part of the excitement of the carnival was watching the community children try their luck at some of the games, and no one walked away a loser. Every child received a prize just for playing. Each dorm, and some clubs, participated with individual booths ranging from Hood Hall ' s Dunk booth, to Banks Hall ' s Ping Pong Toss. Other dorm entries included Kent Hall ' s Pie-in- the-Face, and MacDonough Hall ' s Dart Game. Sorority, Alpha Phi Gamma held a Pizza eating contest, and Fraternity Pi Alpha Nu played Musical Chairs.

The tra- ditional Wednesday Night at the Point , in which it was standing room only, simply became another weeknight, with a handful of customers stopping in. In an effort to recapture the essence of those ancient Wednesday evenings, Marriot started the 21 Club . For those students who were of age, a live band played in the dining area of the Point, and drink specials were offered. Before it started, people were unsure whether it would be a success. Were there enough people ' of age ' to fill The Point? Was there enough interest among students to make it worthwhile? Well, these questions were answered the first night of the Cub. On October 15th, Pure Pressure, a band from Burl- ington, played at The Point for the first of the Wednesday evening 21 Clubs . If you consider a standing room only crowd a success, then this was that and more! The Point did record business and people were dancing on the tables. The band did three encores before the crowd would let them leave and every- one agreed that this is just like old times .

Wilson Hall had the first place dorm float with a tootsie roll owl, while Theta Kappa Beta frater- nity ' s Sta-puf marshmallow man won the first place Greek float and the best overall float award. Other floats entered featured scenes from television (I Love Lucy ' s conveyer belt chocolate factory scene), movies (Umpa-Lumpas from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which also was Homecoming weekends SA movie) and musicals (The Good Ship Lollipop). Also participating in the parade were area marching bands, various PSUC student organi- zations and alumni representing honored classes from as early as 1936.

Entering the decorated Field House was like a colorful, candy-filled dream. Guided by pink ribbons through- out, were enchanting clusters of pink, black and gray balloons. On the tables, pink candles burned brightly, casting a romantic mood on the festivities. An array of green, red, blue, pink and purple flashed over the dance floor, as the DJ played the popular tunes of the 1980 ' s. Excitement filled the atmosphere as attrac- tively dressed men and women crowded the dance floor. Couples enjoyed the romantic aura; laughing, talking and slow dancing. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the homecoming king and queen. All candidates anxious- ly awaited to hear who the winners were. First, however, the runners up had to be announced. First runner up for homecoming queen: Zoe Meizner. For homecoming king: Victor Santiago. As the cheers and claps subsided, the Homecoming Candyland King and Queen were an- nounced: Joe Cresanti and Lisa Marsh. Nearing the one o ' clock hour, a crowd of tired men and women slowly drifted from the land of candy fantasy into the night of sweet dreams and memories.

In bringing lectures and other stimulating events to campus, the association hopes to create interest in, and broaden hori- zons of, students who are directly affected by political and cultural decision making in soci- ety today.

Some issues that have an effect on us are: tun- neling of educational funds to finance the arms race; threats of the U.S. military intervention in Latin America; and the controversy of draft registra- tion. Students for peace make issues like these known to the P.S.U.C. students, and try to unite them in an effort to make a difference.

Akeba also strives to seek solutions to the problems common to all minority students and to promote a sense of togeth- erness and pride in the heritage. Akeba is defined as treasures of the future, and its membership is open to all S.A. members. kkeba Cardinal 1987 61 Karate is an oriental art of self-defense in which the attacker is disabled by crippling kicks and punches. The ultimate goal of Karate is for someone to be able to defend themself, or other innocent people. By training diligently, one can develop a series of coordinated move- ments that will be useful in a self-defense situation. A Karate uniform, or Gi, is usually worn during training, since it is designed for stretching and allows freedom of movement. Pittsburgh now has a Karate club, which was orga- nized to provide an opportunity for students to learn how to defend themselves. Any student who is interested in the art of self defense is always welcome to join.

Alpha Kappa Phi was first formed in 1892. It is the Delta Chapter in Pittsburgh. There are four other chapters in New York State. In the past, the Agos have supported the March of Dimes, the American Cancer Soci- ety, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, and area nursing homes. During the fall se- mester, the sisters planted flower bulbs for the Clinton-Essex-Franklin County Library, and helped WCFE-TV. We also support the Special Olympics. The Agos are active on campus through the Cam pus Carnival and Alpha Phi Gamma established themselves at Pittsburgh State in the Fall of 1981, and have risen in recognition over the last five years. A close knit organization, they stand behind the meaning of their sorority — the beginning of friendship, and their strong bond unifies each sister, but still allows for individuality. On campus and in the community the Gam- mas are known for their blood drives, March of Dime Walkathons, and other fund raisers for local charities. In a short time, Alpha Phi Gamma has grown a great deal through the strength and bonding of their sisterhood.

It is a unique group of women which changes con- stantly, yet still maintains its traditional val- ues, and allows each sister to keep her individ- ual identity while belonging to a close-knit group. The Clios stress active social awareness through various campus and community events, and charity fund raisers. They also organize service projects, which benefit the community at large. Cardinal 1987 67 Alpha Sigma Phi, the tenth oldest social fraternity in existence, was founded on December 6, 1845. Surviving World Wars I and II, Alpha Sigma Phi achieved its national standing through mergers with Phi Pi Phi and Alpha Kappa Pi. Our existence at Pittsburgh State came in to being during the Fall semester of 1985. We were colonized in April of 1986, and named the Phi Epsilon Colony of Alpha Sigma Phi. Our high ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service are meaningfully upheld by our current mem- bership of twenty four brothers and a pledge class of fourteen. Our goal is to attract men of equal caliber to become our brothers. Our standing in the Greek system is regard- ed with high esteem and fervent enthusiasm as we strive to make Alpha Sigma Phi a unique pathway to Greek brotherhood.

Established in the Fall of 1957, Pi Alpha Nu is the oldest fraternity at Plattsburgh State. It is a high spirited fraternity that stands up for its ideals of brotherhood. The Fraternity ' s goals are to promise high standards of scholarship, and fellowship within its ranks, and to main- tain these goals through the many social and cultural activities. Their pledging centers around a sharing of ideas be- tween brothers and perspective brothers. They do not try to make someone conform to their ideas: they use that person ' s individuality to better themselves. Affectionate- ly called pineapples , the Knights can be found on and off campus participating in a variety of events. Psi Epsilon Chi Founded in 1968, Psi Epsilon Chi, a com- munity action organization, is always looking to improve their relationship with the commu- nity and the campus. Sponsoring fund raisers for various charities and organizations, they involve themselves and others, and bring ev- eryone into the spirit of things. These green and gold garbed guys own their own house, located across from Mac- Donough Hall, and are known for their base- ment and warm weather porch parties. Psi Ep brothers are willing to cooperate with many organizations to complete the task at hand. They encourage any men to find out what we ' re all about.

On February 26, 1987, four students of Vincennes University, Indiana, formed Tau Phi Delta Fraternity. Since then, the fraternity has expanded tremendously. This February, Sigma Pi celebrates its 90th anniversay. Since it was founded, 162 chap- ters have been chartered into Sigma Pi, initi- ating 52,000 brothers into the mysteries and secrets of Sigma Pi. The Sigma Pi Fraternity at Pittsburgh State is the 148th Chapter. It took just over one year after the organization was chartered before Sigma Pi to petition for its status as a chapter. Recently Sigma Pi ex- tended its brotherhood to Canada, thereby becoming an International Fraternity. Sigma Pi III 0KB Theta Kappa Beta The Theta Kappa Beta fraternity started in 1959. Founded by a group of Korean War Veter- ans, since then it has grown and decreased in number, but never once did it slacken it ' s own respect for its ideals. It strives for love between its individual members, honor among other orga- nizations on campus, and a faith of God that its love will perpetuate the organization. The Betas have been actively involved in the college community services, including bi-annual blood drives, the United Way, the Heart Fund, the Cancer So- ciety, and the community hos- pital and county nursing home services. 72 AXP Alpha Chi Rho Row 1: Gene Uhl, Marc Haskelson, Vice President, Mike DeClerck, Paul Zucker, Daniel Uslan, Adam Chasnov, Gary Sofen, Willie Johnson, Treasurer, Row 2: Mo Gongoleski, Andrew Penziner, Mitch Barron, Jon Allen, Lawrence Farrell, Secretary, Frank Arnao, President, Mike Gebhard, Alumni Advisor, Row 3: Stephen Liquori, Gregg Gagas, Thomas Barry, John Dougherty, Paul Avelluto, Row 4: Mark Francitier, Ralph Foster, Dave Desenchak, Gar Morando, Tom Luby, Row 5: Michael Assimus, Frank Sinatra, Terence Skully Tyron, Missing: Matthew Ryf, Rick Scanu, David Presser, Paul Lesser, James Edward Smith.

Formed in 1967, SigTau began a tradition built around community service, scholastic excel- lence and brotherhood. Since then, the Crows have maintained their commitment to serving the Pittsburgh community as well as the col- lege. Our commitment was honored on October 18, 1986 when Alpha Chi Rho once again was awarded the coveted President ' s Cup. Athletic excellence is another basic objective of Alpha Chi Rho. During the intramural football season, the Killer Crows won the champion- ' ship by defeating their rival Theta Kappa Beta Fraternity.

Their office term is one academic year. The Senate makes and acts upon legislation benefiting the S.A. and investigates all policies which effect the membership of the S.A. They establish boards and com- mittees to help with the legislative process, and the deter- mination of how much S.A. student fees will be over the next year. The Senate is in charge of giving existing orga- nizations their budgets, approving along with all the boards and committees created by the Executive Council. The Senate operates five boards which conduct most of the Senate duties. The five boards consist of the Board for New Organizations, the Board for Existing Organiza- tions, the College Community Relations Board, the Public ' Relations Board, and the Legislative Board.

Education that extends into life Academics at Pittsburgh nown for its beautiful location and its Kcold weather, Plattsburgh State Uni- versity is one of a number of S.U.N. Y. colleges. It ' s the students and faculty of Plattsburgh State that sets it apart from the rest. The Plattsburgh State campus is located in the heart of the city. Each year hundreds of freshmen and transfer stu- dents enter Plattsburgh State, joining thousands of returning students, leaving behind their homes, and growing in the field they have cho- sen. The greatest number of students come from three major regions: the Long Island area, the North Country, and the Capital District. The rest come from Western New York, other states, and many foreign nations, creating a mixture of var- ious cultures, ideas and interest which is unique to Plattsburgh. UP-- The more advanced a man becomes, the more he needs the time to play. — Mr. Spock, Starship Enterprise I 84 Academics Continued Pittsburgh State also has an outstanding faculty and staff. A majority of its three-hundred teaching faculty hold doctorate degrees. Many of the professors involve students in their own original work, and a number have been nationally and interna- tionally recognized for their work. The college ' s professional support staff consists of approximately one hundred men and women who are skilled at working with students on academic and personal matters as well as educational and career deci- sions. The students and faculty bring life to the buildings of P.S.U.C. Learning comes not only from within these walls, nor the assigned textbooks, but from the interaction found be- tween the faculty and students. Pittsburgh State is always striving to bring the students the best in education — an edu- cation which will stretch beyond the lives of each Pittsburgh student. Robin Lake 86 Academics Cardinal Close-up An Interview with Dr. Eric Salmon Earlier in the year our staff interviewed Dr. Eric Salmon, a visiting professor from England. He has been a professor of theatre for over thirty years. His expe- rience spans across three countries. Dr. I Salmon has been an active faculty member on the Pittsburgh campus. We have bene- fited from his expertise in theatre. Below are some highlights of our interview. I was for twenty years the head of two different theatre departments in two universities of Canada. I was at the University of Regina for nine years and the University of Guelph in Ontario for eight years. In the case of Regina, I actually founded the theatre department. I went there to set the department up and became its chairman. I then left Regina to go to Guelph as the chairman of their department. I re- tired from the University of Guelph to do freelance teaching on a permanent basis. I ' ve also taught at seven universities in the United States. I came here from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. I went to Portland because I knew Reed College ' s reputation for academic excellence. I went there as head of the department to fill a gap while the chairman was on leave. They asked me to stay on a second year. Art, music and theatre are not just seri- ous components of living, but the most in- novative and the most important of human activities. WHY PLATTSBURGH? I came here because the opening was here. I wanted to go on teaching. I saw Mr. Propert ' s an- nouncement that there was a position for one year. It looked ideal and I was attracted to the fact that theatre was associated with music and visual arts, which isn ' t always true. There is an attempt being made at Pittsburgh to look at the arts as a whole. All they ask, though different in material aspect, is that the arts have a common objective. That ' s what attracted me to Pittsburgh. ON THE FACULTY I ' m entirely charmed by the colleagues that I ' m called upon to work with. I ' ve been in awe. The situation has been very robust for me and they are very dedicated people. ON THE STUDENTS I ' ve found them extraordinarily friendly and very receptive. Really more flattering than I deserve. ADVICE TO THE STUDENT If the person is interested in the arts I would say that the one great strength of Pittsburgh is that the arts are looked upon as an entity. When a painter paints a picture he is doing something which is kin to what a playwright is doing when he writes a play or when a composer composes a piece of music. It ' s that commonality of artistic ground which is the potential strength of the Pittsburgh program. I would advertise that to a student and advise that student to take advantage of it. JOURNEY OF THE FIFTH HORSE I ' m directing a play called the Journey of the Fifth Horse. It ' s an American play, by Ronald Ribman. It is based on a story about a man named Turgenev, a writer who felt he may as well not live at all. His whole life had gone by. He was dying of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-nine and there was nothing to show. He says at one point in the play You don ' t know what it ' s like to be an interruption in other people ' s conversation. So Ronald Ribman took the story and elaborated it somewhat. PLATTSBURGH AS A SPECIAL PLACE I look for and try to get into those special places to be. And Pittsburgh has that one special feature. It has a faculty of music, a faculty of theatre and a faculty of visual arts who are dedicated to a com- mon proposition. Namely, that the arts are impor- tant because they are not just activities. That is the great weakness of many systems. Pittsburgh says art, music and theatre are not just serious compo- nents of living, but the most innovative and the most important of human activities. Tina Caswell 88 Academics Business is Booming Plattsburgh State ... a College of Business The School of Business and Economics at Plattsburgh has a popular, top-notch program. The rapid rise in the number of business ma- jors, and expertise of the faculty gives evi- _ dence to support this claim. The quality and resources of the program, along with its small class sizes, attract many students. There are programs available for students who want to major in professional accounting, industrial accounting, management, man- agement science, marketing, or international business. The activities outside the classroom include the Account- ing Club, Economics Club, Management Club, the local chapter of the American Marketing Association, intern- ships, and the Alpha Sigma Chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon (the international economics honor society). A final note on the School of Business and Economics is that 90% of the graduates find jobs in direct relation to their major. This statistical evidence and the study op- tions available illustrate that Plattsburgh State ' s business and economics courses are high in quality. It ' s no wonder it ' s a popular major. The business and economics depart- ment can be described in three words, committed to excellence. Jim Smith 90 Academics Cardinal 1987 91 Quality and Diversity! Plattsburgh State ... a College of Arts and Sciences The Arts and Science Division at Plattsburgh State of- fers a wide variety of majors and departments. From anthropology to ceramics, biology to algebra, Arts and Science covers a wide range of studies. The perform- ing arts, as well as mathematics and sciences, are included in this division. One hundred and eighty full-time faculty members and many part-time teachers create the largest academic grouping of profes- sors on campus. These professors believe that a general knowl- edge of all of the arts and sciences is necessary to understand a specific course of study. Students are encouraged to attend spe- cial activities outside of the classroom and to broaden their knowl- edge in various areas of study rather than concentrating on just one. Thinking is a major component in this field of study. There is no absolute choice of occupation. Students can develop what they have learned into other fields of study. Most of the students at PSUC are enrolled in majors under the Arts and Science Division. This allows the students a greater choice of careers after gradu- ation. Al Mihalek, Assistant to the Dean of Arts and Sciences, de scribes this field in two words, Quality and Diversity. Plattsbutf State offers high quality and diverse topics to all students in the field of studies. Often it is said that students in these areas ha no real purpose of direction in their studies. Because they can label their career as Doctor or Lawyer, many people ha« trouble understanding what these students are doing in college Dr. Bruce Butterfield, of the English Department, believes tha students in this field of study are just doing their job as a studer — they ' re learning.

Lake f Dr. Mark Cohen — Anthropology We ' re willing to help our stu- dents and provide the research op- portunities that make us unique at Plattsburgh State. 92 Academics Cardinal 1987 93 Positively Professional Pittsburgh State ... a College of Professional Studies Pittsburgh State Professional Studies makes up one-fourth of the student population (about 1,400 students) and includes majors in one of the five learning centers: Hearing and Speech, Human Resources, Nursing, Physical Education Athletics and Recreation Sports, and Teacher Education and Education services. Despite the abundance of students, there are only 90 full-time, and 26 part-time faculty members handling professional studies. Pittsburgh State ' s professional studies accepts fresh- men and transfers into various majors, and is one of the few schools to offer study options to transfer students who already hold degrees in their particular majors. The professional studies students of Pittsburgh State have a high rate of success in finding jobs after they graduate. Dane D. Spirio Dr. Marcia Gotschall — English I believe the students of Pitts- burgh should experience their sur- roundings.

Cardinal 1987 111 Men ' s Rugby The Cardinal Ruggers have come a long way in the past year. Returning coach, Sean Morgan brought the team to the State Championships in Buffalo after an undefeated fall season of 4-0. They scored an impressive 154 points during their fall season, giving up only 18. The team defeated long time rival Al- bany State in a grudge match that set the stage for one of their best years ever. Although the team will be losing a third of its squad to graduation, they have lots of new talent that will be sure to contin- ue its winning tradition. The new image of the ruggers as a serious collegiate team dispells the old idea that they were the renegades of the Plattsburgh sports scene. They dropped the name Plattsburgh pioneers and be- came the Cardinal Ruggers. This and other changes showed people that the team was ready to make its mark on collegiate rugby.

Cardinal 1987 127 128 Athletics Cardinal 1987 129 w Cardinal Close-up An Interview with Coach Steve Hoar Steve Hoar graduated in 1975 from Bos- ton College with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Physical Edu- cation. After graduation he taught for two years at Fesonent school in West Newton Massachusetts. There he coached football, baseball, and hockey. In 1977 he joined Coach Jack Riley, former 1960 Gold Metal Olympic Coach, at the U.S. Military Academy. He entered Coach Riley ' s staff as an as- sistant hockey coach, and later became the recruit- ing co-ordinator also. He remained at West Point for six years. Coach Hoar said that It was a tremen- dous apprenticeship that eventually led to my head coaching position at Plattsburgh. ABOUT SPORTS AT PLATTSBURGH I feel that overall we have very competitive sports teams here at Plattsburgh State. Hockey, of course, is very close to me and I feel that it is the premiere sport. It can really help the other sports It was a tremendous apprentice- ship that eventually led to my head coaching position at Plattsburgh. Coach Hoar stated that You build a team from the goal out. With the returning goal tender Craig Barnett and RPI transfer Tony Martino this years team is off to a good start. OUTSIDE THE HOCKEY SCENE At a quick glance one might think that Steve Hoar has devoted his whole life to hockey. On the con- trary, he is involved in much more than hockey. Most people don ' t realize that Steve Hoar ' s inter- ests range from stamp collecting to being the com- mander of the local U.S. Army Reserve Unit where he holds the rank of Captain. As a U.S. Army Cap- tain, he has 140 troops from all walks of life under his command. Coach Hoar considers it an outlet. Steve Hoar, and his lovely wife Janet, have been married for nine years. They have two children: Katie, age 4, and Shawn, age 2. Together they have made Plattsburgh their permanent home. Coach Hoar has been a definite asset to Platts- burgh State and its hockey te am. His enthusiasm is evident in this confidence: As long as I ' m here, we will continue to win. Denis Dufresne programs with its success. The national exposure that the team has received certainly gives national exposure to the school as well. With that, it is cer- tainly a rallying point for students and alumni. ON THIS YEAR ' S TEAM Coach Hoar is now in his third season as coach of the hockey team. In his first season he led his team to fourth place in the nation. Last year, Coach Hoar again led his team to the NCAA final four where they fell one game short of the National Champion- ship, ending up as first runner-up. Jack Riley taught Coach Hoar that You are only as good as your players. Coach Hoar feels that this year ' s team has National Championship capability. We have a great cast of players this year with more talent, and potentia l than any of my teams in the past. We have 18 veterans returning with two years of NCAA tournament play under their belts. I feel that our freshmen players will definitely compli- ment our returning players. 132 Athletics A YEAR IN SPORTS 140 ow 141 You ' re attending PSUC-and lov- ing it. The classes are good, the social life is great and your friends are the greatest. You ' ve never had so much fun! Just then, you hear about a college program that wants to take you away from all of this — The Study Abroad Pro- gram. You simply look around and say No way. But before you think too fast, you should consider one thing: the Study Abroad Pro- gram may offer a better educa- tional opportunity and more fun than any other program offered here. What is the Study Abroad Pro- gram? It ' s a SUNY — wide stu- dent foreign exchange program that allows any student the oppor- tunity to study in any of 30 na- tions, from Australia to Singapore Yugoslavia. Pittsburgh State also offers a Canadian studies pro- gram. Students can spend an en- tire academic year at McGill Uni- versity. The Canadian Summer Program allows students to study at Concordia University, Chicou- timi, and Quebec city. Although any program offered by a S.U.N.Y. campus is offered to S.U.N.Y. stu- dents, Pittsburgh has a special ' program exclusive to students here. Chester College in Chester, England and Liverpool Institute in Liverpool, England, have an ex- change program with PSUC. Cur- rently, about 150 PSUC students a year study abroad. So, now you know what it is, as stated earlier the program offers you a great education and a lot of fun. In a world becoming ever more interdependent, it is impor- tant to have an understanding of foreign culture, people and prob- lems. What better way to learn than to go? If you ' d like to learn a foreign language, the best way to learn is to live with people who speak it. Students returning from their study abroad claim that it was the most valuable experience of their lives and would love to do it again. That ' s because they had an opportunity to learn about a foreign country and get a different perspective on our country and themselves. Cost-wise study abroad stu- dents pay the same SUNY tuition. Add on travel expenses and some spending cash and you ' re ready to go! You don ' t need a 3.0 but in some cases you do need a 2.5 GPA. All you need to do is apply to the country ' s program you like, and you ' re all set! Ray Stalter 142 Lifestyles I pring is the time it usually begins, but at Pittsburgh State, romance is in the air year round. The sight of couples walking hand-in-hand is far from unusual. Each weekend, guys and gals head for the downtown single ' s scene, in hope of finding Mr. or Miss Right. It may start with a glance, a whisper into a friend ' s ear, or a chance encounter, but the pattern is inevita- bly the same — Guy meets Gal (or visa versa) and romance sparks. With all that electricity in the air, it ' s easy to f ind out who ' s seeing who. Just ask anyone. News travels fast on the college grapevine, especially at the start of a relationship. The walls of PSUC are always humming, especially at the start of a relationship — What! You mean she actually likes him?! — He ' s seeing her?! The pain of a romance that doesn ' t work out is also seldom over- looked. For those of us who ' ve had our share of heartache, the pain of breaking up is increased by being unable to avoid running into the other person on campus at some point, and by the unavoidable gossip that follows soon after the split. Every couple has fights. Whether they ' re loud and final, or quiet and unimportant, be assured that the rest of the campus is sure to hear about it the next day. Many students come to school with visions of finding Prince Charm- ing, or Princess Beautiful, sweeping them head-over-heels in love. Disappointment can (and usually does) follow soon after those stu- dents have arrived. But there are some for whom romance is alive and well in Pittsburgh. These survivors in the game of love are usually those who ' ve managed to keep some reality in their expectations. 144 Lifestyles 1 H | - | They ' ve found the romantic side of an ordi- nary person. Year-after-year, in a never ending cycle of excitement, sweaty palms, and broken hearts, this search for romance continues. For those who have managed to find the real thing and even for those who haven ' t, the memories of romantic nights spent with special friends, will be cher- ished forever. Memories like these are nice to reflect back on and keep in a special part of your heart, until you ' re ready in the words of Bogie, — to play it again, Sam. Robin Lake |gj|g| ojjjHSKffjq _ s Can We Talk Here?! hat you choose to wear is a personal statement of your W personality and lifestyle. At college, the diversity of fashion is as vast as the variety of people. College is a place where you can try new fashions, explore recent fads, and develop your own sense of style before enter- ing the real world. At PS.U.C. there are an assortment of looks to choose ranging from punk, mohawked hair and nose earrings to argyle socks and horn rimmed glasses Some students start building a ward- robe that will be useful to them upon leaving college and starting work. Others have taken the view that college is their last chance to express themselves as imaginatively as possible betore settling down There is also a group of students who have made their fashion statement by not really making one at all, and simply wear whatever seems comfortable for the day Fashion often becomes the ensignia for a group of people The tie- dyed shirts of the dead-heads , the trench coated look of the Rugby player, or the sweatshirts of the Greek organizations, are all examples of this. Fashion: a small symbol of freedom and independence; a way to stand out in the crowd, or become an accepted part of it. Robin Lake Shannon Connors Dorm Sweet Dorm What is dorm life? To many it means wild parties and not having to answer to parents. To others it ' s the beginning of the future. Students who were asked this question responded with a variety of answers. Most freshmen agreed that it was a tough adjust- — mentto make at first, not knowing anyone, but after a couple of weeks they seemed to settle into the routine of college. One complaint about dorm life is that some of the residents have no respect for others. There are some students who make so much noise, it is hard for others to get any work done. Everyone agreed that living in a dorm has given them the chance to meet a variety of people, some they might not have met otherwise. As one student stated, It ' s an experience that everyone should have. Some of the older people have the knack for living on campus. Unlike the inexperienced freshman, these upper classmen manage to find time for their studies and many other activities such as athletics, fraternities and sororities, clubs, and the downtown night- life. Part of living in the dorms is the closeness that develops on each floor. The floor becomes like a second family, and there is a special friendship that develops, especially with roommates. Resident Assistant ' s plan many activities for their floor, such as camping trips to Valcour Lodge, visits to Ausable Chasm, or even the possibility of a picnic with another floor. Dorm Council, students elected to run dorm activities by other students, organize events like dorm picnics, parties, guest speakers, and help to choose dorm shirts or sweatshirts for the residents to wear to show their dorm pride. Dorm life is a unique experience, one step above high school and one step closer to a student ' s independence. From freshman year to graduation, the dorm provides more than just a place to live. Some friendships don ' t last, but some friendships last a lifetime, and make the experience more enjoyable. Michelle Fiatt 152 Lifestyles 154 Lifestyles Decisions, Decisions ife off-campus is viewed by many as the fullest extent of freedom that can be attained by a college student. In many ways it is — no Resident Assis- tants checking out your actions, no Marriott food forced upon you like the canteens in the Army, and all the parties you could want to throw. Not bad, huh? Well it isn ' t so bad, but instead of those dastardly R.A. ' s, people off-campus must contend with those masters of deception, those forces from the dark side; the Landlord. Imagine waking up the morning after one of those brutal parties with the landlord holding the broken door handle in his hand, ready to evict you the second you haul your hung-over body off of the couch. Not a pretty sight. The food that students eat off-campus is another expression of their newly found freedom. You can eat whatever the Grand Union, Price Chopper or Chuck- wagon will supply you with, and as much as you want or can pay for in the first month, then importance of money in existing off-campus, becomes apparent. De- cisions must be made: Should I do my laundry, or buy those Lucky Charms? In the end a compromise is found: do the socks and underwear and buy some macaroni and cheese. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Many will tell you that the ability to do what you want under the laws of the city and not the laws of the dorm make living off -campus worth every burden con- nected to bills, shopping and coin laundries. We are an independent part of the college community, providing many of those who live on campus with parties that will go down in their memories. Remember 92 Court, 17 South Catherine St., 9 Williams ... for many, these addresses have been a source of fun, beer and good times. Life off-campus is something that helps people grow and learn, it puts you one step closer to the real world, and forces you to learn how to wash those whites. Chris Merri 156 Lifestyles Jobs, Jobs, Jobs hat ' s the most coveted material-possession in the world W today? The most mentioned item is probably money. The all-mighty-dollar is important to almost everyone. To college students, money is a very vital aspect of our lives. All the expenses and bills, money needed for various personal items, food and drinks, or trips we want to take, make it hard to save money. Many students count on financial-aid to take care of their college bill and use their savings to cover either what costs financial-aid doesn ' t meet, or as spend- ing money. In some cases, the money students have from their own savings or their parents is not enough to cover their expenses or they just want more. To meet this need, many students look for a job. Pittsburgh State, through the work of the Coordinated Student Employ- ment Network (CSEN) under the direction of Barb Hevert, offers a range of work opportunities for students both on and off campus. There are five basic employment programs on-campus. They all provide various opportu- nities for work but the bottom line is funding. The amount of money that each program is allotted is relevant to the number of students they hire. These on-campus employment programs include; College Work Study Pro- gram (CWSP), Marriot Food Service, Student Temporary Service, College Auxiliary Service (CAS), and the Research Foundation. Although the on-campus opportunities for job employment are numer- ous, they are basically based on the financial need of the student. Some students don ' t meet these requirements. For those who don ' t fit this requirement or simply don ' t like the idea of working on-campus, there ' s off-campus employment to turn to. Pittsburgh State has developed the Job Location and Development Program (JLD Program) to help students locate off-campus employment. You could also say that it helps off-campus establishments find employees. The JLD Program acts as a referral service for students (both full and part time) and a free of charge job listing for employers. Over two hundred fifty business establishments take part in the program. Off-campus jobs such as cashier, waiter or waitress, custodian, bartender, and others are available to students. The JLD Program provides a listing of part time or temporary part time employment on the Student Employment Boards in the College Center. The JLD Program helps stu- dents find employment during the academic year and during summer breaks too. Besides helping students locate a job, JLD also has workshops and programs to help with interviews or conducting a job search. The JLD Program has only been around since July of 1983, but it has become a valuable employment source and resource for students and employers. The opportunities for students to work are here. The purpose of the five on-campus programs and the JLD Program is to help students find work. The students who work deserve a lot of recognition because they are sacrificing part of their social life and often better grades, in order to work. Academics are important, but those who have to work are saying that earning money ' s important too. In talking to a number of students who have some type of job here, almost all are satis- fied with their hours and wages and happy with their employer. The working students here at PSUC not only gain happiness from the money they earn, but are happy due to their personal satisfaction in their jobs.

After surveying an equally large number of enthusiastic men and women across campus, the staff compiled the results and listed them below. The answers were as individual as the students and because of the overwhelming number of responses, the yearbook staff has decid- ed to make this survey an annual event. Some of the results were surprising and some weren ' t, but all of the results brought with them a special memory of some sort and we hope they will do the Favorite Group: Genesis — After solo works by this band ' s three members, Genesis returns with hits to rock this Land of Confusion. Favorite Song: Boston ' s More than a Feeling — Like the ' college experience, ' and life in general, this title sums up the special memories within each of us.

A 208 This year the Cardinal 1987 staff decided to introduce a new section to the book. We call it The Gallery . It was developed to enhance the photo- graphic quality of the book, as well as, to offer an opportunity for any student to have their original prints published. We obtained the photographs for The Gallery through a non-profit photo contest sponsored by the Car- dinal staff. Any student at P.S.U.C. could submit up to six, black and white photos of any subject matter. Our no specific theme idea was used to generate creativity and at- tract a wide variety of themes. This, in turn, could help make the photos as original as the photographers themselves. The contest was judged on Novem- ber 13th, by Mr. William Crosby, art and photography teacher, Ms. Robin Brown, official P.S.U.C. photogra- pher, and Michael Bobnick, Photog- raphy Editor of Cardinal 1987. After much deliberation, the winners were chosen. The following pages display the winning photos, along with several honorable mentions. We wish to thank all the students who participat- ed in the contest, and our helpful judges. Denis Dufresne Honorable Mention: Jim Monroe, Urban Landscape. Honorable Mention: Drew Martin, Desigr 210 Gallery Cardinal 1987 211 212 Gallery Honorable Mention: Jim Monroe, Stop Action, Cardinal 1987 213 214 Gallery Honorable Mention: Drew Martin, Still Lite Cardinal 1987 215 216 Gallery Cardinal 1987 217 218 Gallery Jane Geberth received the third place prize with her cityscape of Something Old, Something New (below).

Cardinal 1987 219 The winner of our second place prize was Jim Monroe for his portrait of The Brandywine (right). A native of Canton, N.Y., Jim is in his junior year at Pitts- burgh. He has a major in Psychology, and has been involved in photography at P.S.U.C. for about two and a half years. Photo II and Landscape are two courses which have strengthened his photogra- phy skills and sparked his acute interest in taking photos. In his spare time, Jim Honorable Mention: Jim Monroe, Landscape. enjoys skiing and tennis. 220 Honorable Mention: Drew Martin, Landscape. First prize was awarded to Drew Martin for his design portrait of The Slow Motion Elephant (left). Drew, a Junior Business Management major, from Sea Cliff, N.Y., began taking pictures at the age of eight. However, his talents at black and white photog- raphy are relatively new. He began black and white two years ago in a Photo I course, and achieved much success. Drew, then went on to take Photo II, and is ■currently a teaching assistant for Photo I. A veteran of three photography shows, Drew looks forward to his future exhibits. He has tried his hand at some free- lance work, including several model portfolios, and advertis- ing photography. In his spare time, Drew enjoys skiing, sailing, bicycling and weight lifting. But, photography, without a doubt, is his fa- vorite hobby. Cardinal 1987 223 a big birthday bash in 1986.

Tim Stachurski Yearbook Associates 238 Closing | he last few pictures have been cropped. The layouts are finally finished. At last, the typing has ceased. The waiting begins. Wondering if all of our afternoons turned to evenings, then to early mornings, will make a | difference. We started out in September with a group of stu- dents who were willing to dedicate their efforts to preserving the events that made this year a special one. Our ideas quickly transformed to goals. Our attempts to capture the pulse of Pittsburgh State were often challenged; however we feel that our goals were achieved. Perhaps this book will serve as a reminder of a few special memories shared at a very special place. My experiences as Editor-in-Chief have been demanding but worthwhile. I am proud of the work that we ' ve accomplished. I hope you will enjoy this book, as much as I have enjoyed preparing it over the past year. However, this book would not be complete without the mention of some very unique, dedicated individuals who aided in its production. To my family, thank you for the encouraging words, helpful advice and the use of various office supplies while working over Thanks- giving and Christmas Breaks. Thank you Mr. Montanaro, our Advisor. Your guidance and experience helped us at our most difficult times. Special thanks to George Petro, our Delmar Publishing Repres enta- tive. Your creativeness sparked some of our most interesting ideas, and your talents and experience put them in perspective. To my staff, where do I begin? It takes a certain type of person to tolerate my demands. Your timeiess efforts and incomparable dedication will not be forgotten. And finally, very special thanks to Denis, who had faith in me all along when everyone, including myself, had doubts. My Regards, 239 Photography Credits Bradford Andersen — 158-159, 162.5, 244.2.
