STATE COLLEGE Gulls in flight: the year we soared INTRODUCTION The Evergreen Yearbook, what a story! A s most of you probably know, the yearbook organization has encountered many problems yfeJISlSB over the past few years. This year is no exception. Last year, the yearbook staff elected to produce only a senior directory instead of a full scale book. Well, this year, we decided to attempt to put together a “real” year¬ book! We hope you will all keep in mind the fact that we didn ' t begin production until second semester. Because of this, the 1984 yearbook attempts to cover the whole year as completely as possible. We have divided the book into seven sections beginning with seniors and ending with sports. We have also covered academics, campus life and special events. As co-editors, Ray Chin, Debbie Shuck and Donna MacLean, we hope you enjoy a book that we are very proud of. We have put a lot of hard work into this project along with the sincere dedication and help of our graphic designers, Carol Bloodsworth and Gretchen Altergott, without whom, this book would not have been produced. We would like to dedicate this book to two of our favorite, yet skeptical administrators, Dr. Carol Williamson and Mr. John Fields. These two were as supportive as pos¬ sible considering the past reputation of the yearbook. Although we didn’t let their pessimism bring us down, we also think they met their match with the three of us. So, here’s to you Carol and John. We hope you enjoy the book and the taste of cardboard!! SENIORS Memories that will be carried with us for the rest of our lives. A s the days of college life draw to a close for the Senior Class of 1984, it is _perhaps appro- -Ipriate to re¬ mind us all of the precious memories made during their college years that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Remember Friday nights at the Pub, football games, campus¬ wide water battles, stick ball, mud sliding and food fights at the dining hall? “Two for one night ' ” at the Flying Club was always something to dance about! How about those dreaded long distance phone bills, gang? And what in heaven’s name would we have done without such wonderful study aids as Cliff Notes, No-Dose and 4 Star Pizza with home delivery? These memories are from just a short segment of their lives. As the Class of 1984 moves on, whether it be to tbe job market, married life or further education, let us extend to them best wishes in their future endeavors and in the making of many more good memories.

T he academic scenerio at Salisbury State College has seen several signifi- ■ Hcant changes ™over tlie year. To start the fall semester off on the right foot, record enrollment was reached. With 4,509 undergraduate students attending classes, Salisbury State had certainly reached its peak in terms of size. Yes folks, in case you didn’t notice, there were more people than ever walking the Red Square. Not only were there more students, but the ad¬ ministration, faculty, and students believe Salisbury is beginning to be compared with private institutions. Fourteen four year tuition free scholarships requiring SAT scores of 1,200 or above and fifteen other $1,000 one year academic scholarships will be offered by the college in the fall of 1985. The admissions office had seen an increase of 40% in applications coming into the office. To make the sit¬ uation even better, the qual¬ ity of the studnts applying is steadily improving. For example, this year’s freshman class’s average SAT score was well above that of the national average. me- jwnr, -v- ' i.v V iiSfy - .- rex?

You are an integral part of exciting new traditions at Salisbury State College. Your years here coincide with a revitalization of college pride resulting from more rigorous academic expectations, more responsible campus community citizenship, and more varied career and life goals. Experiences from the classroom, laboratory, library, and field work, as well as from extracurricular activities and employment, provide you with a new level of confidence in your own knowledge and skills. With the guidance of dedicated faculty, the concern of com¬ mitted staff, and the support of loving family your graduation signifies to all a dedication to the pursuit of truth and a determi¬ nation to contribute positively to the many challenges ahead. I am proud to welcome you as Salisbury State alumni. Class of 1984. I know you experiences here will serfe you well in the challenges ahead in your personal life, in your work, and in your community. As you review this annual you will be reminded again of your accomplishments and acquaintances and the other sources of pride in your college. With best wishes, QQ- | Carol Williamson Dean of Students piiectoi Baiiy ’ of Resv .dent Life Kins Sincerely, Barry M. King j Director of Residence Life To Our Students: Those of us who work on college campuses choose to do so because we enjoy the daily contact we have with students. In 1983-84 those contacts have been particularly rewarding for me. You have brought to your work and to your relationships a sense of purpose and a spirit of caring which has made this a very special year. SSC is indeed a special place because of your caring and sharing. Student leaders on our campus have provided strong leadership and have set standards for participation and service which will challenge those who follow them. To the class of 1984, you are well-prepared ' to succeed pro¬ fessionally and to enhance the quality of life for all in our society. Your participation as citizens in addressing the complex social and political issues we face will be of critical importance to the future of our nation and the world. I am confident you are equal to the task. Each of you have my very best wishes for a future of peace, happiness and success. Dr. Carol Williamson Dean of Students Operations Research—What a concept! Another significant change experienced in the fall was the addition of the new computer system. For security reasons, two separ¬ ate systems were purchased—one for academic use, the VAX 11 780, ' and one for administrative use, the VAX 11 750. Salisbury State is the first academic institution in the state to have all of the data process¬ ing and information generating completely inter¬ active. Future plans for the system include having a terminal in every office on campus. But it’s so small. In addition to the VAX, th e computer center has acquired a new microcomputer classroom. Once again, SSC is the first college in the Maryland State College-University en¬ vironment to install a computer classroom. The 15 Apple microcomputers serve three functions: microcomputer classes, use by faculty to test students, and general use by students. The classroom in which the Appl es are held is commonly known as “The Apple Orchard.” Geography is a fundamental study for Dr. Farace and his students. The structure of Salisbury State College has also changed. The college will be adopting a new school structure, developed this year, in the fall of 1985. The five schools include the Schools of Business, Liberal Arts, Math and Science, Nursing, and Professional Studies. The college hopes to attain pro¬ fessional association accreditation for individual programs offered to SSC students. Such additional accreditation by the pro¬ fessional associations would further establish the mark of excellence on Salisbury’s academic programs. Keeping SSC athletics in good shape is part of Pat Lamboni’s job. Over the year Salisbury has seen a significant exten¬ sion of the traditional class¬ room. Trips were taken to Canada, Jamaica, and England. Before the official opening of the Fall semester, a group of 34 in¬ coming freshmen, 3 faculty, 1 administrator, 5 peer counselors ventured into the wilderness of Canada. The 10-dav trip, an alter¬ native to the Freshman Orientation class, enabled the students to learn the same topics as they would on campus but in a much more relaxed atmosphere. Editing the raw video shots down to a good presentation is part of the basic introduction to the T.V. course. . ' I Philosophy students discuss Socrates with Dr. Walsh. VAX 11 780 computer system and learning students: problems. = tough The most valuable aspect of the trip was the friendships formed. It is always nice to know one or two students before entering the campus for the first time. Imagine being good friends with 30! A small determined contingent of ROTC cadets present the colors during the homecoming parade. The trip to Jamaica in October was sponsored by the Geography department. The students were able to earn 3 credits by attending daily field trips, nightly lec¬ tures and keeping a personal journal. The group stayed in a Jamaican villa overlooking the Caribbean but had to contend with cockroaches in their rooms at night. The group had the opportunity to visit the New Seville Archeological Site, go caving, and learn from the extremely know¬ ledgeable Jamaicans. In addition, they attended the annual National Council for Geographic Education Con¬ vention. What a terrific alternative to classroom teaching! SSC ' s ta ndSOtoff ' oa Carol Crockett, a photography student, gives us her best shot. The last trip taken by Salisbury State students was a trip to England in January sponsored by the English department. The group of 50 attended 3 plays—School for Scandal, Hay fever, and The Real Thing. 4 paper had to be written for each play. In addition, before the group left, they each had to read a book and write a paper on it. Each student could take the trip for a variable number of credits ranging from 3 to 6. Even though there was a lot of work involved, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Basketball is an important part of SSC’s intramural athletics progress. Students assist each other while ’’workin’ out” in the weight room. Cheri Webster, Flyer photo editor, catches the action during homecoming parade. the CAMPUS LIFE The year began with a bang T he Campus Life section is devoted to the students and follows the year from those hazy days of September to the anxious days of May. The section also includes tributes to dorm life, campus organizations and student activities. The year began with a bang. The R.A.’s came back in the end of August to find the four traditional dorms filled with chaos and without the brand new furniture that was supposed to be there. Well, they all chipped in and spent one whole day moving furniture and screwing down desk tops. They were humorously dubbed the “screw crew.” The dorms opened on time with the usual difficulties, but nothing compared to what might have happened if the furniture were not moved and arranged. Drop-Add went according to schedule with the normal long lines and filled classes. Students found ways to beat the sys¬ tem as usual and classes began on Wednesday, September 7, 1983. That first weekend found many students heading for the beach whether to work one last weekend or just to enjoy some sun and fun. Well once again, routine sets in and some of us were eager for some cooler weather. Our weekends began to be occu¬ pied by super football games, dazzling soccer matches, theme nights in the pub and Saturday night dances in Tawes Gym. The freshmen class adapted rather quickly struggling over History 101 and English theme papers. For the most part, they learned the ropes fairly easily overcoming dining hall food and discovering the “freshmen 10.” The freshmen made it through those first weeks and then as with most students, made the big treck back home. As we moved through the months of October, Moms and Dads came down to visit for Parents Weekend discovering that their kids really do have to study and some even know where the library is!! blacV staiv- aft 6° l Mid-semester rolled around as silently as always with deficiency reports and those infamous mid-term exams. By the time we made it through mid-term papers and projects, we were working on Spring schedules—some of us were program planning for the last time, what a terrific feeling!! Look, Jim, I think Chesapeake’s burning down! Salisbury got its once a winter snowstorm and students enjoyed the annual snowball battle. Thanksgiving break couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. It was long awaited and enjoyed by most. For those that needed their batteries recharged, home was the best place to go. But like most good things in life, break only lasted a few days and soon enough we were back to the old grindstone with only a few weeks left until the long Christmas vacation began. The last week of classes were filled with papers and projects due. For some, there were even exams! Finals week arrived with a pressure all its own. Students “pulled all-nighters”; some for the very first time—get used to it. The thought of having to move all the junk accumu¬ lated from just one semester or even five or six semesters was overwhelming, but thanks to Bates Moving and Storage, the process was a little easier. Check-out went smoothly and everyone moved out for the break. Some left for only a week or two, to come back and try to survive another winter term at good old SSC. The Homecoming game brought many to Seagull Stadium-despite the freezing cold! SUPPORTS IflBwT THE With increasing success, Gull fans came out in droves. Kathy and Mike are enjoying the game—they really support the Gulls! With few difficulties, classes began and routine set in like clockwork. The winter months were here and the students were prepared to brave the well-known Salisbury weather. The rains and fog were here for a while at least. For some reason, the Spring semester seems to go by a lot faster than the Fall; possibly due to graduation but I think it has something to do with “Spring Fever!” By the time Spring break is over and April arrives, it’s pretty hard to remember the real reason for attending ssc. Next thing we knew, January had come and gone and it was time once again to come back for another sem¬ ester of college. The long lines at Drop-Add were ever present and students seemed more adept at bucking the system and get ting the classes they had originally hoped for. But then again there were those-students who we thought might have to move into Tawes in order to get a class, waiting anxiously for someone to drop so they could add. ’Oh, like wow, fer sure! February came and went without the usual snowfall maybe because of Leap Year and February’s extra day! March came in with a dual personality—lion and lamb. Everybody seemed to be busy getting papers and pro¬ jects finished while preparing for mid-term exams before heading south for the break. For those who did head south, Fort Lauderdale had its hands full, and so did the ‘‘Button” from what I under¬ stand!! As always, Spring Break only lasted a week and we all came back eager for the semester to end and summer to begin. Students began to bunt for jobs and apartments at the beach. Those graduating seniors found out where the Career, Planning and Placement office was lo¬ cated and became real good friends with their staff. With Senior Placement Briefings and Resume Writing work¬ shops, most seniors had their hands full trying to prepare for the slap of reality with their entry into the “real world.” As April came about, many were busy planning picnics for their organizations. Derby Days was enjoyed by all and Student Recognition Weekend was filled with activities for everyone. Moms and Dads visited the campus for Honors Convocation and the annual Spring Formal was a highlight. May saw seniors picking up caps and gowns and buying invitations and announcements for graduation. Program planning week was active with students seeking out advisors for signatures and depart¬ mental stamps. With forms signed and submitted, all were ready for the Fall semester, but not until an enjoyable summer had come to a conclusion. The Spring semester had its share of controversies. The administration proposed guest policy change brought heated debate from all sides only to be resolved with a well-received alternative called a “Roommate Starter Kit.” The next item on the list of campus issues arose over the enactment of the Lottery system devised four years ago. For the first time since its conception, housing officials had to resort to the Lottery system due to an over abundance of students requesting housing. Students were angry over this situation especially those 261 students that were affected. One solu¬ tion to this whole dilemma would be to build a new dorm, but although that prospect is apparently in the planning stages, we all know to believe it when we see it!! Up close and PERSONAL! The 1983-1984 school year ended with the last day of ( ' lasses on May 25 and graduation on May 26. All in all it was a productive year lor students as well as student clubs and organizations. What’s ahead? A beautiful, productive sum¬ mer and yes, yet another aca¬ demic year with a new, young freshmen class, plenty of papers, projects and exams and the usual extra-curricular events. “Heidi and Judi show everyone how to party!” Intramural softball supporters.” “Movin’ out finally, for the last time!” MEDICAL CAREERS CLUB Augustine DiGiovanna NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ACCOUNTANTS Regina Haffner NEWMAN CLUB Edmund Delaney OMEGA ESSENCE Clara Small OMEGA PSI PHI O.

These include almost every academic department with a service and or honorary soci¬ ety. We have tried to include pictures of every organization but due to a late start in the production of the book, we didn ' t have time to get pictures of everyone. We hope you understand the situation we were in. We have, however, included a list of all organiza¬ tions and hope that will make up for any unforeseen oversights. At the Flyer Theatre ROTC on maneuvers Greeks All campus organizations have the opportunity to become a recognized organization and therefore receive funding from the student activity fees budget allocated to the Appropriations Board. Some clubs choose to take part in this and others don’t. Regardless of their affili¬ ation, SSC’s clubs and organiza¬ tions are a great asset to campus life at Salisbury State and tbeir contributions either socially, culturally or academically are very important to students at SSC. Those student leaders in¬ volved in these clubs deserve a great deal of respect and gratitude for their dedication and service to campus life— their involvement allows these organizations to prosper year after year. SSC Dance Company tpourri, a theme that a trend for the tire vear. P otpourri, a collection or variety of pieces blended together to create something special.

From weekend movies to art shows to lances, SSC offered the campus ommunity a wide variety of pecial events to intrigue and muse us when our books , r� n n w� r� f yx rv l x 1 1� � 0 |-j gQ 0 hosted ent’s Day, Christmas n l m x rv tt yx ause offered • Doc Hult, Smith at Young cared Vight of the ed with ►eborah and a e wished to dtu rally its, the y, and ° c §a 5 r« f ' c e . ) s 6.

We were enlightened by the Evergreen Symposia series, the Peabody series, and the International Film series. While a night at the Coffeehouse with performers such as Modern Times and John Flynn put us in one mood, attending concerts by Seduction and Nighthawks Artie Traum put us in another. There were trips to Busch Gardens and Inner Harbor, and a fun-filled evening with Gil Eagles. In keeping with tradition, Derby Days offered us a long weekend of games, races, and laughs. As May rolled around, we put on our gambling clothes for Las Vegas night and our dancing shoes for Spring Formal. Finally, through tears and smiles the seniors bid a sad farewell to friends and SSC at Graduation. With thoughts of spending Spring Break in Florida, we returned to SSC for Spring semester. Again there were weekend movies.

Dave Ganoe and Vince Leisey, director and associate director of the College Center, guided the Student Senate, the Program Board, and various other organizations in planning many events. Without their ex¬ perience, enthusiasm, and encouragement many events would never have taken place. As we look back and remember the special events of 1983-84, we forget the hassles and dead¬ lines during the planning phases and oidy remember the fantastic times we had.

This year, the annual Christmas Week activities were planned and sponsored by the Residence Life Staff. Doug Clough, Christmas Week com¬ mittee chariman, and many Resident Assistants were as busy as Santa and his elves on Christmas Eve, trying to get everything: in order.

To some this day was just as important as graduation. This was a day when SSC took the time to stop and tell us we’ve done a good job. Whether receiving an award for outstand¬ ing academic work, or outstanding involvement in the campus community the receipient walked away feeling proud. After many long hours of hard work, it was a nice feeling to be individually recognized. Even the students took the time to tell a faculty member that he or she has done an outstanding job. Dr. Rodney presented the academic awards at the annual Honors Convocation. Junior Russ Hard sang the Alma Mater as the ceremony came to an end. Afterwards, parents, families, and friends gathered in the Social Room to congratulate one another and celebrate. “Willie, we told you smoking is bad for you.” Is this not the most honest face you’ve ever seen? “I’ll go ahead and bet it all.

Salisbury was defeated, but gained new experience and received nationwide publicity.

Taking a break from game play, runningback Maury Jarmon concen¬ trates on his next offensive series. Going for the crucial first down, Dwayne Hunrenik drags along a few Widener College defensemen.

The Gulls losses have been close ones and all against Tough defensive work and exceptional interceptions keep the winning Gulls strong. larger schools, George Mason University and James Madison University, both in Division I and West Chester State, Division II.

Mclnerney, a two- time All-American at 158 won his class in both the Coast Guard and University of Delaware tourneys and Parry (142) won first at Delaware and second in the Coast Guard competition. Special teams gang tackling played a crucial part of SSC’s most winning season. After clinching the decision to go to the playofts, SSC’s football squad rejoices in midfield. Following the ball into your arms is a sure shot way to take a good interception. Coach Bryce Cox’s wrestlers brought some excitement with two All-American wrestlers. Mike Mclnerney and John Parry won All- American designations at the National Collegiate Division III Tournament in Binghamton, New York. Mclnerney finished third in the 158 pound class to pick up his third All-American honor.

CLOSING We worked hard; we played hard. he 1983-84 aca¬ demic year was a good one. We worked hard and we played hard. ■The school ' s enrollment was at its all time high. The Orioles won the World Series, the Redskins went to the Super Bowl, and the SSC Seagulls went to the semi-finals. Our economy continued to recover and we won 4 gold medals in Sarejavo. How¬ ever, the year was not without some sadder mom¬ ents. Our American soldiers that were wounded and killed in Lebanon and Granada, the Baltimore Colts left town, and over 70 students lost their housing in the lottery. But, we held together to let everyone know that we are a great country, a great state, and a great school! The undergraduates eagerly packed their cars to head home for a rest. For most, however, not that long of a rest. Some went home to jobs, some went to the beach for jobs, and some stayed here to attend the Summer Session. Where ever they went, each class went with one thought: the freshman, “I made it through my first year,” the sophomore, “I’m half-way through,” and the junior, “One more year!” On May 26, the official end of the academic year, SSC graduated over 800 students—SSC’s contribution to the future, a contribution to be proud of. So, with tears and cheers, smiles and hugs the seniors said good-bye to their friends and a place they had come to call home. Looking back at a very long year, all those that make SSC what it is—the students, the faculty, and the administrators—will unanimously agree that 1983-84 was indeed “The Year we Soared.” safes! sfs? Dear Fellow Students, Looking back at the past four years, we have collected many fond memories that we will always hold close to our hearts. We re¬ member meeting the Dean of Students, later to find that Carol was an easy person to talk to, with an open door policy, and a heart made of gold. We remember receiving memos from the Director of Residence Life when things behooved him, only to find Barry was a cigar-smoking, fun-loving man whose compassion and concern for others is overwhelming. We remember our first finals, frisbee in the quad, Nanticoke beach, and mud-sliding. We remember our first roommates, and friendships made that will last a lifetime. We remember coming to SSC as freshmen, scared and uncertain of what the next four years held for us. Now, as we leave our shcool, our friends, our secure world we came to call home, we are again scared and uncertain but this time of what life holds for us. However, we feel confident that through the guidance and direction of many caring individuals we have grown into competent adults ready to accept any of life ' s challenges. Because of these memories we undertook the task of putting together this yearbook. Though at times we were met with pessimism, the encouragement never dwindled. We have tried to capture the memories of the 1983-84 year. We hope that you have enjoyed looking back at an exciting year. It was a year that SSC soard— a year we all soared. Thanks for the memories, Raymond Thomas Chin Donna Marie MacLean Deborah Leigh Shuck 1983-84 Co-Editors P.S. Carol-John: Bet you ' re glad this is the last page! and so they soared.
