SAXIGENA SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE SLIPPERY ROCK, PENNA. 1965 It is a time of expansion. The Slippery Rock campus is enlarging not only in population, but in buildings, land area, faculty, curriculum, and activities. With this in mind, the 1965 Saxigena attempts to show expansion in the various phases of campus life. 2 CQNTENTS 'Production faculty SENIORS 4 16 32 ORGANIZATIONS 62 SPORTS 104 STUDENT LIFE 138 INTRODUCTION Hast Gym. one of the older buildings on campus, is still being used. | dliUM I mull MrtitOlHM ft vnvmu • UJOtATOtT KNOOl ft HMHIIMUlf « NOttx uu I OM tt • tour«KUi t usvqtm m •I � KMfTOH«MiltNG U VCVMMCI U A X M mjl n v It JCWI MU o riwttoitn t n wom m nntNOwi J1 � ATT|t)ONMAU 0 IN3AM MU S MA«N«U 6 Dr. Carter, the new president of the college. The newest building on campus will house Alpha Xi's, Delta Zcta’s and upperclassmen girls. 7 Educational TV is beginning to be used in many classes. Much of the work for WSSC. Slippery Rock's own TV station, is done by students. 8 These students of the Laboratory School are the concern of the Elementary majors. Student teachers at the Lab School plan a puppet show. Although much hard work is spent during the semester of student teaching, the reward is great—such as a successful student show. 9 Registration is one of the most hectic times of a student’s life at Slippery Rock. Everyone needs help!! 10 Mr. Ray Patterson. Saxigena advisor and English professor, helps students with schedules. Sometimes what seems like a never ending line of students finally conies to a stop and professors have a chance to relax. 11 Student help in the cafeteria. The dining hall is the meeting, as well as the eating, place of SR students. 12 Even though the cafeteria is almost empty, this table is still occupied by engrossed students. The “Wall ' is a favorite place to gather after meals. 13 Activities flourish on the campus—such as the Rocklcltes dance show. Lucky, the campus policeman, is known by everyone on campus. The most familiar scene on campus—a quiet walk taken by a boy and his favorite girl.

KAPPA DELTA Kappa Delta, a national sociM sorority, was founded on October 23. 1897, at Longwood College. Farmvillc, Virginia. Being the newest national sorority on campus. Gamma Omega, the 101st chapter of Kappa Delta now has forty-nine members. Emerald green and pearl white arc the sorority colors and the white rose is the flower. The open motto is, Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest. The purpose of Kappa Delta Sorority is to promote true friendship among the college girls of our country by inculcating into their hearts and lives those principles of truth, of honor, of duty, without which there can be no true friendship. The object of Kappa Delta Sorority is the formation and perpetuation of good fellowship, friendship, and sisterly love among its members; the encouragement of literature and education; the promotion of social interest; and the furtherance of charitable and benevolent purposes. The Crippled Children’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, is the site of Kappa Deltas’ philanthropy. Since 1921, Kappa Deltas throughout the country have taken part in aiding crippled children. We point with pride to the fact that Kappa Delta has also aided a distressed family in Slippery Rock and gathered canned fruits for a childrens’ home in the past year. The five advisors are Dr. Barker. Mrs. Duncan, Dr. Haverstick, Mrs. Rcnn. and Mrs. Smiley.

After trading early touchdowns, the Californian team went on to an easy win, which was to be expected. The players were taken into private homes for Thanksgiving, and on the day following the game visited Disneyland. All in all, it was a very unique season for the Rockets, even though a losing one.

Coach Egli’s hooters played inspired soccer, and ended the season with a record of 5-3-2. Although they dropped a pair of games to rival Grove City, who went undefeated, they came up with outstanding efforts against, basically, the same teams that bested them last year. The Rockets held a strong Lock Haven team to a scoreless tie and beat Allegheny. Leading this year’s soccer team in scoring was senior Marty Schmidt with 9 goals. Goalie Dick Beck had 103 saves over the campaign. Also instrumental in the team’s success was a stubborn fullback line which gave the opponents a lot of trouble. Prospects for next year's hooters arc bright. Although the Rockets lose 12 seniors, many underclassmen have proven this year that they are here to play and should provide their followers with a good brand of soccer next year. At a banquet held after the season, Marty Schmidt and Pat O'Harc were chosen Most Valuable Players. Coach Egli gives instructions to a junior varsity player. Jerry Ferrone. SOCCER D.

Co-captain Jim Patterson earns a rebound. 114 Once again the Rockets became Western P.S.C.A.C. Basketball Champions as they recorded a 12-12 record overall, and a 7-3 league state. Counted out of the race after a home loss to Edinboro, the Rockets went on to win three straight in league play, beating California. Indiana, and Loch Haven all on the opponents’ home courts. Winning the title this year was a major feat, since the Slippery Rock team was rated, at best, fourth in pre-season polls. In the state championship game at West Chester, the Green and White had the dubious honor of playing a tall, talented Cheyney team. Even though they played a great first half, the Rockets saw their hopes for a second championship go down the drain as Cheyney broke open the game with a potent offense and a strong rebounding effort! As a result of winning the Western Conference. Slippery Rock automatically got a bid to the N.A.I.A. playoffs in which they were edged out by Westminster. 76-74. It seemed as if this year’s team was always on the go. In addition to the N.A.I.A. playoffs, the Rockets participated in the Christmas Tournament at Quantico, Virginia, where they took fourth place in an eight team field. Leading the team this year in scoring was Jon Boyd, followed closely by co-captain Jim Patterson. Patterson also was the leading rebounder and had the highest field goal percentage. Patterson graduates this year after three solid Varsity seasons. The other graduate is co-captain Jim Perkins who did a fine job as playmaker this year, while the past two seasons he was probably the best sixth man” in the league.

Not included in this record is the annual Christmas Tourney in which the Green and White placed third. Highlights of the year were wins over a strong Thiel team, and romps over rivals Edinboro and Grove City. Leading the grapplcrs in team points was freshman Ron Jadlocki who compiled a season’s record of 9-4-0. Closely following him was senior Ray Brinzer with a 10-5 chart. Brinzer was also voted most Valuable Wrestler. This season could possibly have been better except for injuries to key wrestlers. Dave Anderson started out well, and compiled a 5-2 record before a shoulder injury forced him to the sidelines. Looking ahead to next year, co-captains Anderson and Chcrcck will head up a group of experienced wrestlers and should produce another line team.

Slippery Rock’s swimmers emerged with a season’s log of 10-2. In all four competitive styles, this year’s team had the fastest man in the school’s history. The Erdos brothers, Ed, a senior, and Tom, a freshman. were outstanding in setting several Slippery Rock standards. Also included among the record-breakers were co-captains Emil Scarano. a diver, and Ron Sterling. whose specialties are the long free style races. In the P.S.C.A.C. meet, the Rockets were runners-up to West Chester for the fifth time in the last six years. Tom Erdos broke two state records and brother Ed, one. They were also blue ribbon winners in the same races, 200 I.M., 200 fly, and 200 backstroke respectively in the Penn-Ohio Championship. In this meet, the Rockets finished second to Grove City. In post season competition. Tom Erdos, voted the team's MVP Award, was third in the NATA 200 yard Individual Medley. Seven men from Slippery Rock were represented in this NATA meet in which 32 colleges competed. The Tiger Award was presented to Rich Dugan for his “tigerish” attitude throughout the season.

TRACK The Rocket thinclads of Coach Dr. Campbell Snowberger found the overall strength of opposing teams hard to handle, but still came up with some outstanding individual performances. The schedule was a tough one. with no breathers, except for Edinboro, the only State College team scheduled. The remaining schools were all universities or rapidly expanding colleges, typical of the schools against which all Rocket athletic teams must compete. Slippery Rock's mile relay team won their specialty at the Penn State Relays as they turned in a time of 3:25.5 Randy Miller's anchor leg of 49.9 in that race was outstanding. Along with Miller. Purvis, Brown, and Robertson provided the needed depth in the sprint department. Senior Fred Crissman also was a versatile performer, competing in the pole vault, broad jump, and triple jump. In the other field events, George Pohrajac, Mike Agostinella, and Danny Hinkle were consistent performers.

The Rockets weren’t pressed closely by Edinboro or Indiana as usual. Coach Thomas Mullen has high hopes for next year’s team, as no one is lost through graduation. McCune and Beck will be playing for the fourth year, so there will be a lot of experience on the courts for the 1966 season.

The Slippery Rock Board of Strategy Led by a solid pitching staff and the consistent hitting of Captain Jon Boyd and Frank Ament, the Rocket nine won the NAIA district championship and competed in the area playoffs. As a result, Coach Wally Rose was named the outstanding coach in the area. In the playoffs. Slippery Rock beat the defending national champion West Liberty team before losing tight decisions to Bloomsburg and Lassboro. In the early part of the season, the pitching of Patterson and Millison was outstanding. They had effective relief when needed as Cooper. Whann. and Simpson all contributed to the Rocket winning streak. When the hitting caught up to the pitching, the Rockets were hard to beat. High point of the season was a double win over California, while the only real black mark was a double shutout loss to Clarion. Graduating from the team this year are Jim Patterson. recently named Outstanding Senior Athlete, and F.d Roscnbloom, batting mates for four years at SR.

This year as the Freshmen class grew to a record size of 810, Orientation Week began in a flurry of puzzled faces, meetings, tests, and Green and White manuals. A new student first found his room— usually in a dorm “on the hill — unpacked and haltingly waved goodbye to Mom and Dad. He then shot a bewildered glance at a total stranger turned roommate, and they rushed off together to register, take tests, meet neighbors, and try to absorb campus life. Highlighting the week was a Student Union Open House where Freshmen were welcomed by the Representative Council officers. They also attended the Inter-Fraternity Council Dance and the Faculty Reception where they met their future professors. The new students later acquainted themselves with Slippery Rock’s extracurricular activities via the Activity Fair where each organization on campus set up a table display. A few days later the tables were replaced with entertainment for the Twig and Branch where Big and Little Sisters met. The basic orientation was soon over, and freshmen faced their first academic problems. They soon were absorbed in finding, dropping, and adding classes, trying the almost impossible task of buying books, and waiting in lines that grew and grew and grew—talk about expansion. Miss Mary Lou KIcbcr. freshman representative, smiles proudly as she rides in the Homecoming Parade. 140 Dr. and Mrs. John Hdwards and Dr. and Mrs. Henson Harris had a smile and handshake for all the new freshmen at the Faculty Reception.

HOMECOMING Twisted crepe paper, paint cans, and papier machc buckets monopolized students’ attention as preparation for the Thirty-fourth Annual Homecoming Festivities began. After tedious hours of planning, buying, twisting and building, the floats were ready to begin their all too brief life span in the largest Homecoming parade Slippery Rock has ever seen. Proud students, faculty, alumni, and towns-pcoplc lined Main Street as the color and music of the floats transformed Slippery Rock into a “Walt Disney Fan-tasyland” for a day. Capturing the hearts of spectators were the three first prize winning floats: Huey. Dewey and Loucy” of the Junior Class, Sigma Pi's Pecos Bill, and Sigma Sigma Sigma’s Ducky Date.” Dispersed among the floats, area bands blasted their way to Thompson Field where the Slippery Rock Rockets and Edinboro Raiders clashed in a 3-3 tie. With a pile of wood, crumpled paper, and a torch, Homecoming officially flamed into life and into the memory of the Slippery Rock student body. Reigning over the festivities was Sophomore Judy Sinchak who was surrounded by a class representative court consisting of Michele Roof, Peggy Mergen. and Mary Lou Klebcr. As the bonfire grew brighter, speeches were made and the athletic teams were introduced to the Ouccn and the crowd. The Rocklcttes also performed, and the majorettes twirled fire batons, double batons, and hoops. Headed by our peppy cheerleaders, the student body's cheering gave way to the Alma Mater. f 142 I Pecos Bill copped n first prize trophy for the Sigma Pi brothers on Homecoming Day. October 26th. r !

After the game, alumni visited new dorms and reunited in Weisenfluh Hall at the Alumni Dinner. The game and parade passed and on Saturday evening the Queen and her court, along with other slowly tiring, but happy couples danced in the Student Union to the music of Tommy Payne's Orchestra.

CHRISTMAS Slippery Rock's campus comes alive with the spirit of Christmas during the annual Christmas dances held before vacation. The season is usually highlighted by the formal dance, which was held this year in the Student Union, which is located in North Hall. Co-eds and their escorts danced to the music of Mike Roconc and his orchestra. Christmas decorations and refreshments completed the festivities. An informal Christmas dance, ‘'Winter Wonderland, was held in the Hut as well. This dance was held before Christmas break, and was the last activity on the campus before the new year. 149 Music for the Hut dances is often played by a combo.

RUSH The beginning of the Spring semester marks fraternity rush for the men of Slippery Rock’s campus. Each man interested in going fraternity” is confronted with the decision of which one to choose. After signing up, the rushees are invited to attend smokers and get-togethers sponsored by the individual fraternities. Here they meet future brothers and obtain an understanding of what fraternity life will mean to them. It is at this time that the brothers explain the requirements of the fraternity and inter-fraternity activities. After a preferential vote, the rushees visit the fraternity house of their choice and meet all of the brothers once more. The second semester at the Rock is a time of decision for co-eds—whether to rush a sorority or not, and if so, which one. This year Rush Week officially began on Tuesday February 2 and ended on Friday, February 12. After the preliminary signings up, the sororities began a series of activities to get to know their rushees. The climax of the ten days was a Rush party for all those girls who showed an active interest in sorority life. The themes for thi year's parties were: ‘‘Alpha Xi Corral” by Alpha Xi Delta, “Hawaiian Luau by Delta Zeta, KD Hades” by Kappa Delta, and Sigma Coffee House by Sigma Sigma Sigma. 153 Old Main is one of the most well-known buildings on campus. Its clock is seen for many miles. Main is used as a classroom and administration building. South Hall, a girls’ dormitory, is another old building on campus. It is to be torn down and a new dorm will take its place. 154 West Hall. a familiar sight to the physical education majors, is still used, but most of the athletic activity lakes place in the new Field Mouse. Patterson Hall, a boys' dorm—the only boys’ dorm on the main campus—. was just built a few years ago. 155 Lectures do not always take place in a classroom. 156 Student activities also vary—from the music lounge in North Hall to a bench on front campus. The ambitious student can always find something worthwhile to do. 157 Always an enjoyment—a Glee Club performance. The orchestra displays month's of hard work at the Band Concert. 158 Students congregate on all parts of the campus—at the North Hall desk and in front of the Dining Hall. 159 The long, long registration line. Registration is one of the most hectic limes in a student’s life—something which is done eight times during the college stay. It can also be one of the more frustrating times of a student’s life—finding classes closed, waiting in lines, and obtaining professors signi-turcs. When registration is complete, most of the students head for the Grill to have a cold drink and discuss the “pitfalls” of registering with their classmates. 160 I Some sort of excitement can always be found on campus—either street dances or campaigning for class officers. 161 Rhoads Hall—the newest girls dormitory. Another familiar landmark—North Hall. Old Main—as seen from the Circle Drive. 162 Another new development—SR's radio station run by students. Miller Auditorium is often filled with interested students during assemblies and plays and lectures.

After competing with many other girls and being picked “Fairest” on the campus, Nancy was crowned before the May Formal by Bobbie Grass, the 1964 Queen. Nancy looked very beautiful in her long gown and “royally reigned over the closing May Week festivities. 165 Students dance in the Student Union in North Hall during the May Formal.

It comes from within and from outside stimuli as well. At S.R. the feeling of growth is spreading. It's the growth of knowledge as education becomes realized and reached for. It’s the material growth of old structures to new—and spiritual growth of inner appreciation and culture. A feeling of newness and excitement whether it’s stimulated by children to teach or platforms to preach. Above all. those things which symbolize growth symbolize life at S.R.; a college life of stimuli. A life to grow on. 173 174 EXCITEMENT GROWTH 175 176 This book printed by VELVATONE. a special process of lithographic printing. Sole producers: Wm. J. Keller Inc.. Buffalo. N. Y.
