Never judge a book by its recycled cover A LAURIQL 1930 dedicated to the thrown gauntlet and the few that helped me conquer the challenge. QCSL' 43 n 'H 1 S 7 Faculty The faculty can and should be the most important asset for learning at any college or university. Any per- son thirsty for knowledge can pro- vide their own education through reading and research, but the wisest student takes advantage of the rich human resource of a teacher, whether certified or not. tSome of the best teachers are so regarded by virtue of the wisdom they have to share, not by any degree they have attainedly A respected and admired professor is a storehouse of knowl- edge, a well-spring of enthusiasm, an inspiration, a challenge, a sup- porter and encourager. By being these, a conscientious and caring teacher provides the most precious dimension to learning, the human touch. She or he walks the extra mile with relish and reaps the reward and privilege of being uniquely in- volved in the creation of another in- dividual. 5 Q? ix 3 5 41, A. 4 E- ...J hui.. , 4' 1 'KS' I.

Journal- ism degree was proposed and ac- cepted. The Board of Higher Educa- tion approved of the program after evaluators from three media outlets and one representative from Colum- bia University reviewed the Journal- lsm courses in progress. The pro- gram met with one hundred percent approval from the start. The program is planned to meet the guidelines of the American Council on Education, and although it has not been approved yet by the A.C.E., the degree program has been accredited by the state. Although the program is short- staffed by professors, it maintains a focus in these areas: News-Editorial, Magazine Journalism, Public Rela- tions, and TV-Radio News Writing. As for the grads in this field, the outlook on the job situation is good. On the national scene, there aren't enough graduates to till openings on daily newspapers. Eighty percent of the class of '78 at Southern found jobs in areas related to Journalism within one month after graduation. The demand for people in Journal- ism in business is increasing. And while reports on opportunities for Journalism grads are sometimes misleading, two state surveys report many future openings. Hang in there, writers, we gotta chance! Gra hiczs p CISIOD The use of graphics in such fields as Publishing and Advertising has become increasingly important as an attractive and effective means of communication. Graphic artists are in demand on the career market, and S.C.S.C.'s division of graphics within the art department provides students interested in the field with exposure and experience. Students explore the creative use of typog- raphy, layout design, printing theory and processes and bindery-making through the Graphics department in Engleman Hall, and gain practical experience with professional materi- als and equipment used in offset and screen process printing. Speech Communications The Speech Communications De- partment is known mostly for the versatality in programs and the tightness of the invlolved students. Classes in TV and media, public speaking, and into programs as dis- ciplined as Forensics. The Speech Communications De- partment with all its equipment has been able to send students out to film campus sports and activities. After undergoing a program as di- verse as this one, these graduates will be the next Barbara Walters and Harry Fteasoners. These will be the students prepared to interview and handle the communication aspects of the media world. The department has found one way around bureaucracy through expensive equipment that has been purchased - now the question is, who can teach it to the students, and the answer is in the hands ofthe hungry speech major who takes it upon himself or herself to utilize all that is offered in Davis Hall. I wonder who is going to be the next Mike Bogolowski? Any tak- ers'?'? ff ,ff X A-. J'- , .ff- 1.

Buley Library is the cen- ter ot learning on campus, providing a variety of resources for the expan- sion of knowledge as well as a suit- able atmosphere for quiet or group study and research. Besides the major learning centers housed with- in the library, Buley Library also contains some less familiar, though none-the-less interesting collections - the Connecticut Room on the sec- ond floor containing books, papers and documents on the state's histo- ry, and the Carolyn Sherwin Bailey Collection of children's historical lit- erature located in the Bare Book Boom. The Division of Library Sci- ence, the only accredited library school in the state of Connecticut, is located on the fourth floor of the library. The resources and services of Buley library are available to reg- istered S.C.S.C. students as well as faculty and administration for the enhancement of knowledge and the excitement of learning, whether as- signed or independent. 5:9- SP x . s Txx. 9,99 ot, Learning Resources The Learning Resources Center, located on the third floor of Buley Library, is composed of three in- structional components, serving as a unified educational reference and rp-source service for the college community. The independent learn- ing component houses tapes, re- cords, films and other media with the necessary equipment for inde- pendent study. The curriculum labo- ratory contains elementary and sec- ondary textbooks, curriculum guides, tests, the Africana collec- tion, Asian studies materials and ad- ditional types of teaching aides. The audio-tutorial component provides individualized programmed instruc- tion. These various instructional me- dia are used in coordination with college programs to supplement and enhance learning and apprecia- tion. Language Labs Besides making a trip to a foreign country, in-class dialogue and lan- guage laboratory drills provide the best practical experience in com- prehending, speaking and convers- ing in the language. ln the small, sound-proof cubicles, students sporting electronic earphones are given rigorous training in language comprehension and the ability to conquer a foreign accent and speak fluently in a foreign tongue. .L Q 3 if , fi f at, K X. 4 nv '- -r ff-ff W., K' .'

Actually, becoming a photographic artist begins in the classroom, and serious students can use their talent strictly as artis- tic expression or can coordinate it with an interest in publishing, jour- nalism, or natural history through advanced courses offered at the college. Theatre One of the most exciting majors in college is one of physical, emotional and intellectual expression. All of this is found in the theatre major who uses much more than figures and facts, ball point pens and books. The theatre major supplies the mate- rials to spread magic from the stage into the audience. ln short, the theatre major is a wiz- ard. -Q ...J x ,JR 44. K' fl., -a .

Although it is not possible as of yet to major in music at Southern, the courses offered through these de- partments develop appreciation for the two artistic modes and their his- tories and, especially, each stu- dent's unique artistic style of ex- pression. The art and music programs in- corporate materials, facilities and guidance for growing artists from the gifted staff. Developing an indivi- dual's ability to communicate his or- ginal vision in and through the gift of his art is the business of the Arts department at Southern. f ,V if Mix if T mix' v: '?f Ts, x Nursing The 10-year-old Nursing Depart- ment celebrated its anniversary this year with a symposium for nursing students and their parents in Lyman Auditorium on November 3, 1980. Well known for their diligent study habits and consequent excelling grades are Southern's nursing stu- dents. The competitive field is often accompanied by strong bonds be- tween the nursing class that grows tighter and smaller each year. The training the nurses undergo in their field work with the guidance of ex- cellent superivisors in the depart- ment is both diverse in atmosphere and experience. Between studying and training Southern's nursing majors are re- quired to present themselves always as 'professionals in training' and in this way the responsibility as well as the joy of nursing is taught. if l' if -4, K- l r 1 l .

This, however, does not mean that a shortage exists in the available selection of courses. Stu- dents may elect courses in comput- er languages, programming and structure, and the program is still developing. In fact, a faculty advisor has suggested that all college stu- dents sign up for at least one com- puter course. Computer science is a new and expanding field and a po- tentially enormous employer of col- lege-educated computer special- ists. i 1 ll l f l gf ttf '21 an .

The strict scientist will choose to pursue a rigorous course ot study with the reward ofa Bache- lor ot Science degree upon comple- tion of it. The enthusiastic scientist, desiring to share his knowledge, will decide to coordinate his study of physics with science and environ- mental education for practical and pertinent application in the high school classroomg his Balchelor ot Science degree will be in Secondary Education. And the more creative scientist need not be confined with- in the limits ot a systemg his imagi- nation may act upon the laws of physics to invent a work of art, to contemplate the origins of the uni- verse, to devise a program ot study that will enable him to expand these unique interests and be rewarded with a Bachelor of Arts degree. lf-9gY,...,, , 'iii f- tlll Chemistry Academic excellence and per- sonal involvement are stressed by the chemistry department at South- ern. The deapartment works individ- ually with each student to design the right program for him. These pro- grams prepare students to pursue graduate work in the areas of medi- cine, dentistry or veterinary medi- cine as well as careers in industry, research or government work. The department also supports two chemistry clubs, one on-cam- pus, the other affiliated with the American Chemical Society. wb 4 , . wt . 5? ff'-i I illlf, 5-gr' Q f',,,x,gg-. -X T tiff I tg-N 435 iunlv' T 0 xttx Biology A prospective biologist may pur- sue programs of study resulting in a BA, BS or BS tSecondary Educa- tionl degree. Depending on his in- terests and aspirations in the field, he may select courses from the areas of aquatic biology, biological technology, botany, environmental biology, general biology, microbi- ology, pre-medical or pre-dental, physiology or zoology. ln addition to classroom instruction, the biology programs at Southern provide chal- lenging and exciting lab and field experiences. And soon, biologists and others in science-related fields will have the advantage of the brand-new facilities and resources of the addition to Morrill Hall, now under construction.

Book prices increased tremen- dously, and used and reused books stood a better chance if students had the motivation and patience to check the bulletin boards and make a few calls. School tee-shirts, jackets, can- vas bags and sundries announced Southern's name. Bookstores carried cards, posters and even stamps for those away from home. If it wasn't for the bookstore, we would not have been able to get our class of '80 tee- shirts - it served more than one pur- pose! .D -, M-wma, .

By practically ap- plying the skills she or he is learning in the classroom, the intern will be bet- ter prepared to enter the job market, to discriminate as far as the type of career he would choose, to learn how to accept and deal with professional responsibilities. The experience can and should be a well-rounded one, in which the intern explores his talents and capabilities in a field of his inter- est. lt can open the door to whole new worlds, and may even give the intern a foot in the door where he might begin his professional career. The Cooperative Training program grants liberal arts students an oppor- tunity to gain first-hand experience in industry, business or government. The plan involves a six-month period of full-time employment balanced by a semester of full-time study on cam- pus in the junior and senior years. These employed students earn a sal- ary from the employer and nine aca- demic credits in their liberal arts pro- gram. One of the newest major programs at Southern incorporates internship experiences as one of its most impor- tant dimensions. Journalism students spend one or two semesters in the field, depending on whether they've elected to work toward a BA or BS degree. Many journalism interns don't have to travel far to get some valuable practical training under their belt. Campus publications and de- partments -including Focus, a faculty newsletter, the Graphics department and the Public Affairs office - take them in, and both the employer and the intern volunteer profit from the exchange. 'T' sacx 5 ' , :f5fATE kj 221 W Newest additions - not all for 1982 A Footnote for the Newest Alumni of S.C.S.C. Sometimes it's difficult for gradu- ates to grasp the fact that life will go on at their old school without them. Ceaseless cycles of new students begin their own college experiences shortly after the freshest groups of graduates have stepped out into new fields of endeavor. Many alumni have a hard time breaking the bonds that attach them to their alma mater, hence the creation of alumni associations and the publi- cation of newsletters informing graduates of goings-on on campus. For those of you who skipped town immediately after graduation and have not yet been reunited for a visit with your college, we are pleased to present to you a peek at the newest adornments of your campus. lt's been a long time com- ing, but the finished mall, surround- ed by the buildings of the central campus, is well-groomed, attractive and colorful. The lot in front of one of the ground floor entrances to Engleman has been set aside for handicapped parking, and bold, bright letters announce the claim. lnconvenienced commuters, won- dering what on earth caused the closing up of the security parking lot late last semester, may be interest- ed to see that their banishment is well-justified - the lot was torn up to be replaced by a brand-new addi- tion to the science facilities at Southern. Now all the science-relat- ed fields, including Health and Nurs- ing, will be housed within the two connected buildings. bf 'hi Child Development Center The Child Development Center lo- cated in the basement of Schwartz Hall is a quality day-care facility available for the duration of the school year virtually free of charge to the children of S.C.S.C. students and faculty. The Center is run under the competent directorship of Kin- neret Chiel. Judy Buzzell is the dedi- cated head teacher and supervisor of student teachers. Two graduate assistants, two student teachers, six student community volunteers and a work study employee or two round out the staff. The Child Development Center is a progressive educational establish- ment for three-to-four-year- old pre- schoolers, providing caring, consci- entious and creative programming for the nurture of whole and happy young human beings. The Center also provides wonderful training and practical experience for prospective elementary education teachers at Southern. Among these next few pages are faces caught in the action of sports whether it be concentration, aggression, triumph, anger, disappointment or what every athlete seeks for within them- selves- the combination of body, mind and soul striving for perfection.

N J 53 Coach Don Knauf's grapplers fin- ished the year with a 11-14 won - lost record. However, their record isn't indicative of their success over the season. This year's schedule was ex- tremely tough and Couch Knauf feels that the wrestlers improved be- cause of the level of competition which they faced. Their record doesn't reveal the success they ex- perienced this season. Led by three time, All-American, senior Paul Bulzome, and senior Cliff Vernon, the Owls posted vici- tories against East Strondsburg and Central Connecticut. The team also finished eighteenth in the nation, in division ll, with three All-Americans led by Bulzomi. With the likes of sophomores Robert Melfi and Don Curry, South- ern's wrestling future looks to be a bright one. The quality of our us to qualify five Regionals and three i sssssj schedule enabled grapplers in the place All-American.

It com- piled an 8-3 record under the guidance of Coach Bruce Hutchinson. ln addition to the fine regular season mark, the Owls also placed second in the team standings of the New England Champion- ships. Along with the second place finish, South- ern dunkers also set three college records, took the Hugh McCurdy diving award, and qualified ten swimmers for the NCAA Division ll National Swimming and Diving Championships held at Youngstown State. Southern mermen placed ninth in the country at the National Championships. Standout seniors were: Dave Sidella, four time All-American diver, New England Champion, National runnerup in 3 meter, and recipient of the McCurdy award ivot- ed outstanding New England Diverj. Ken Bockus was a two-time All American, New England Champion, New England record holder 4100 + 200 meter breast strokei and National runnerup in the 100 meter breaststroke.

However, the runners fared well in 1979. Led by senior co-captains Steve Better and Mike Ambrosec- chio, and junior Carlos Ramos, the Owls streaked to a won loss record of 4-1. The '79 season included victories against Monmouth College, Wag- ner, Montclair State and Kings Col- lege. One of the highlights of the year for coach Wilton Wright's crew was an eighth place finish in a qualifying meet in Philadelphia. The Owls were matched against all of the Division ll teams in the 12 state North Eastern Region, and finished second out of all New England schools. With newcomers Tim Lewis, Jim Ryan and Bob Welton leading the way, the Southern Cross-Country future looks to be a bright one.

She provided the Owls with tremendous leadership, and over six-teen points a game. Diane Beauchamp chipped in with nine points a game and was the team's second leading re- bounder. Two big victories came against Providence College and the Univer- sity of Massachusetts. They were significant wins because these two schools were ranked first and sec- ond in New England Division I.

The high point of this season came when the Owls upset nationally topranked and eventual national champion Nebraska at Moore Field House before a record home crowd. The team continued its home winning streak of 50 dual meets, since the opening of Moore Field House. Following the third undefeated season, the Owls fin- ished with a respectable fifth place finish at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Champion- ships at Lincoln, Nebraska. The individual stars were: Mario McCutcheon, who won the 4th Nissen Award, scored the highest all-around total defeated Hartung of Nebraska. He also tied the famous Kurt Thomas on horizontal bar at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, won six titles at the El the Gif, which included his third straight Eastern titles in All-Around and Parallel Bars. Wallace Miller placed third in the All-Around at the EIGL Cham- pionships, and 6th at the NCAA Championships earn- ing him AII-American status. Carl Antoniolli placed fifth on the parallel bars at NCAA Championships, earned All-American status and represented the U.S. in both the Pan American and World University Games. Ano- toniolli finished second in the All-Around, Pommel Horse, Vault, and the Parallel Bars in the EIGL cham- pionships, Freshman Daren Dembrow placed 4th on the Pommel Horse at the EIGL championships, and Byron Knox placed 3rd on Horizontal Bar at the EIGL Cham- pionship and 12th at the NCAA Championship.

The jam- packed day of activity began with a wel- coming coffee hour and included a plan- etarium show, a field hockey game, an alumni swim meet, a Crescent player pro- duction of the delightful Androcles and the Lion and a physics demonstration. The Owls crunched the Coast Guard Cadets 27-13, and the Homecoming queen, Peggy Doland, was crowned. Homecoming Day was topped off per usual with the German Oktoberfest in the Pub. 2. t-7 iff' X l --.M yu 1 ff 1 1 ws g if n lzj , ru-1, X Androcles and the Lion was the first Crescent Player production in mid-Octo- ber of the 1979-80 school year. The play was directed by Robin Hall and per- formed in the style of the Italian Comme- dia Dell'Arte which was popular in the fifteenth century. The roles of the title characters were performed beautifully by Peter Lovello as Androcles and Craig Vic- tor, under a huge mop-haired mask, as the lion. As the runaway young lovers, Lelio and Isabella, Gary Williams and Maureen Creegan sang and moved about the stage in a very professional manner. Barry Hatrick as Pantalone and Peter Callahan as the Captain did a splendid job of portraying mean slave hunters and delighted the children, especially with their constant bumbling. The supporting cast, made up of mimes, acrobats, jug- glers, travelling players and a ventriloquist added a real circus atmosphere and pre- pared the audience for the levity of the show. 4-,W Q fl. V 4 5 V 'Q I I : 0 yi har 't i H JF Southern Connecticut State College voiced its opinion about the state budget cuts with rallies and posters and commit- ted people who pledged to make things change. Budget cuts still exist they probably al- ways will but we really wanted to let ev- eryone know we students care. Budget Cut Ftallyl fi On October 25, 1979, approximately 1,200 an- gry and noisy, yet organized and non-violent col- lege students marched to the State Capitol in Hartford to protest the budget cuts affecting pub- lic state higher education and our four Connecti- cut state colleges. All four state colleges, as well as Tunxis and Mohegan Community Colleges, were represented by speakers at the rally of main- ly young adult students, demanding their educa- tional rights. A guitarist from one of the community colleges sang protest songs. He pointed out that some- thing may be wrong when budget priorities place defense spending before the support of quality state-funded college education. We, the college students, have future goals that can only be fully realized if quality state college education is insured through adequate funding. The Connecticut State College Association CCSCAD, made up of representatives from the four state colleges, defined the following goals: 1.3 that the original budget of the four state colleges be restored, 2.3 that the state assist with the rising cost of fuel and utilities, 3.5 that adequate funding be received, for high- er education by aj keeping up with inflation, b.J keeping up with the national average of state support Qspending levels for higher education, inparticular state colleges, is for- ty-three percent below the national aver- 3995, c.J no more personnel freezes, including stu- dent help, security, maintenance, clerks, etc. 4.5 that educational money be kept out of the general fund of the state. 5.1 that the citizens of Connecticut be informed ofthe problems facing the state college sys- tem in order to gain their support in the col- lege's actions. bm' v-4' 1 What the public fails to realize is that even with- out the budget cuts, the state 'colleges are still struggling to make ends meet. Any curtailment of funding would seriously endanger the quality of the education that is meant to create capable and responsible citizens and career people. 4-ar .Z as What a drunken place! was the de- scription given by one resident when loads ot beer, food, music and fun helped bring the quad alive as many people cele- brated the annual Oktoberfest held on October 27, 1979. The beer was provided by the Inter-Residence Council, the food by ARA food services and the music by Hard Knox. The fun, provided by the people themselves, included frisbee- throwing some dancing, and was charac- terized by a general rowdy and carefree spirit. As another resident stated, the 1979 Oktoberfest was, like one huge party with a lot of music, people and es- pecially a lot of beer. ,.. , 5, , , t l , Q Xkj,f'N,lvE E 2 jg Mi- t1f-' ,f Mfr' Q i ' ' ' ,fri , 1 ijt I 1 J Eg l li-A M V . g- Lff -i .

Events included flea markets of Beatles collector's items, showcases of rarely- published newspaper and magazine clip- pings and fantastic Beatle artwork, Bea- tles films, Beatles look-a-like and sound- a-like contests, and live imitation Beatle bands. Overall, the Beatle Convention was an overwhelming success, equalling, if not surpassing, that of last year. Q95 Q3 QB QS V Q ,A r mfg? ft-.

Because of the arranging of schedules to fit a specific time slot, the Glee Club lost a few interested students. Through the sharing of voices and the education Dr. Litten spread, the Glee Club yielded abundant fruits of friendship and well-tuned sound. For those who nev- er knew of the Glee Club at all - realize that at Homecoming, for tive other con- certs and for their musical finale of the Pop's Concert, these girls worked and trained and memorized music for the en- joyment each of them received from the joy of sharing music among one another and with the audience, no matter how grand or how small in number. For the second year, the S.C.S.C. Women's Glee Club has taken part in the Intercollegiate Conference to which no other state college has sent their glee clubs because no other state college maintains a club of this sort. We know how to do it - when you know the notes to sing! This year the 28th annual Intercolle- giate Choral Festival was held at South- ern. The Festival provided the choirs an opportunity to sing on a non-competitive basis, to hear each school perform and to combine talents in an ensemble. It was a time for the meeting of new friends and the reuniting of old friends. Q' S.C.S.C.'s band presents concerts ,Y and ensembles throughout the aca- V ' demic year and provides the half-time entertainment for our football games in the Fall. The year of practice and per- formance is culminated with a spring tour and an all-college finale in April. A medley of musical instruments, a symphony of sound, S.C.S.C.'s orchestra performs singly or in combination with other musical organizations on campus at concerts and community functions throughout the year, including the Christ- mas concert, Commencement, Home- coming and Parents' Day. First come, First served is what a flyer appearing all over the S.C.S.C. cam- pus this spring read. The Journalism Guild sponsored a three day trip to Washing- ton, D.C.. The S'.C.S.C. students stayed at Best Western Motel, and visited the local tourist spots during the day- the Washington Post, the Washington Monu- ment, and toured the Nation's Capitol. The students also enjoyed the Washing- ton night life, discoing into the early morn- ing hours! From November 15 - 17, the Crescent Players presented their second show of the season, Sophocles' Antigone Before the actors appeared on stage, the audience was greeted with a dramatic setting. Designed by Norma Lee Comfort, a senior theatre major at Southern, it was incredibly realistic and totally believable as an ancient staircase in ruin. It was done in dark hues and color tones blend- ed on a rough, gravel-like surface. The Southern Connecticut State Col- lege drama company carried off the pro- duction in their usual professional man- ner. Leading the cast of seasoned per- formers was Katherine Moore in the title role. Balancing Miss Moore in the strong male lead of Creon was Barry Hatrick. These two actors were backed up by half a dozen players with smaller leads who were not lacking in voice tone and articu- lation. The most impressive aspect of the one- act production was the chorus. It consist- ed of three female and five male perform- ers clothed in dark shrouds and carrying large sticks. They marched out on stage and chanted their way through many lines in perfect unison, adding another dimen- sion of tragedy and depression to the gloom already presented. The Earth Science Club, due to its die- hard members, is one of the most moti- vated clubs on campus. Although few people belong or attend the weekly meet- ings- the walks to Cheshire or hikes to Sleeping Giant are times when students gather to enjoy the natural surroundings. During the year, president Steve Hol- lander organized the campus clean-up project and even initiated the Friday meetings of representatives from each club to congregate and try to help each other out with organizational or budgeting problems. Without the people who genuinely care about our environment pursuing their ca- reers in Earth Science and their thirst to share knowledge, the problem of wasted glass, aluminum, energy and especially paper would not have come into such clear focus. l Good luck to next year's officers, and may they keep the standards of knowl- edge and interest set before them. t - l i 2 i t i 5 . il3Z'.. .x .5 - -tv Y, iw me ..f.-2, ..,,. . . - tw I ' :SQ-GSR- tfff n'f6ffg.+ i L'-isff walt 5 5 E , I i l ln December, students of foreign lan- guages at Southern gathered together to share an international potluck dinner at Conn.

Not only dance majors but any student who enjoyed dancing and was willing to put a lot of time and effort into it was welcome to try out. The Dance department chose their cast, including graduates, undergrad- uates and alumni and began rehearsals under the rigorous direction of Phyllis Grande. On February 29th, the long hours of practice came to a halt - the long- awaited performance time had arrived. The young group of talented dancers per- formed in Lyman Auditorium with unre- lenting energy from the time the curtain opened until it closed after the second ovation.

The characters were portrayed superb- ly by Southern's Drama students. Each personality jumped out of the script and came to life through a number of our own talented amateurs. Hot'l Baltimore, reflecting at least a portion of everyone's real life, was a huge success. l'f 'QR 'SL sg ,-H ik' 'I 4 Arts League The S.C.S.C. Arts League sponsors demonstrations and workshops on per- sonal experession through art media, in- cluding sketching, ceramics, enameling and sculpture. Interested students may take advantage of these invitations to be exposed to various arts and crafts and to explore their ability to express themselves in new and creative ways. The English Forum The English Forum established itself after holding poetry readings of a few area poets. Later on in the year, under the supervision of Doctor Vivian Shipley, stu- dents were encouraged to gather and share their personal poetry with a group of fellow student poets and a few interest- ed friends. Creativity and discussion were supported by Dr. Shipley, and as a writer herself, she was able to pass on a few hints on printing, publishing and writing in general. Good luck to the growth of the English Forum! L rgjri is if Always and Forever was the theme of the Junior Prom held on April 12, 1980 at the Ramada Inn, North Branford. The S30 per couple ticket included dinner, wine and an hour long open bar. For a time, it seemed that proms were passe, but this one was popular enough to re- quire reserved seats. And full-length gowns and tuxes and tails surpassed the Semi-formal attire is acceptable sug- gestion for dress.

Remem- ber when our campus was practi- cally suffocated with snow? Still, people seem to grow closer through the sharing of the minor crisis of a severe snowstorm. Per- haps it is partly the novelty of be- ing wrapped together in a chilly blanket of white fluff. Perhaps it is the magical transformation of the common, everyday world to a clean white wonderland. Perhaps it is the unexpected leisure of snow days spent either appreciating the cozy warmth of the dorm or play- ing outdoors - having snowball fights, building snowmen, sledding on borrowed trays from Conn. Hall, bumper-skidding, cross- country skiing. In fact, almost ever- ything seems more special in the snow!

Being responsible for keeping up an apartment and living cooperatively with others, while going to college and perhaps working, is a growing experience and an education in it- self. Whether it contributes to moti- vation and maturity or decadence and delinquency, apartment living is a unique opportunity to learn about yourself, especially in relation to others. lt allows for greater freedom, tempered with responsibility, but what freedom doesn't have that tax? fb , 4 A , vi, .K -It Y ,. ,ti A 4 t , S 'Q Kimberly Congdon Kim Conroy Kathleen Conway Joanne Cooper Robin Copeland Pub The Muppet Movie Fountamhead N f.. f Michelle Corbo Roseann Corda Thomas Cordero Carrie Corson Nancy Cosgrove l 1 1- Mary Countryman l Thomas Covello Who pays to work full time hours and more burying his nose in a book'?'?

Dorm living provides one of the best op- portunities for getting to know a whole lot of new people and learn- ing to live and work cooperatively with others. It has been said that dormitory life is a pajama party everynight, a beerfest on Thursday nights, a fam- ily of friends. lt has also been said that dorm life is restrictive, confin- ing, too public, worse than living at home. Still, exploring alternatives in on- and off-campus living accomo- dations can be a valuable part of establishing lifestyles each one of us are comfortable with. 1.4 Margaret Kluspes Ellen Knieriemen Pamela Knight Ftamie Kotfler Christine Kohler On-campus RA Off-campus 3 95' gy W lb, ffl Y..

Hall has endeavored to create festive meals to captivate the culinary tastes of the fussy dorm residents. The food is great if you can manage to get to it before you're a skeleton from starvation since each slice of tender meat is carved by two chefs for each person. After receiving your jello mould, fruit salads and main course, you attempt to find a seat because Conn. Hall is always overcrowded at festive meal time. You fight for your life against six-foot jocks going up for their seventeenth serving and the mad rush to the salad bar. This year, Conn. Hall has treated us to festive meals for Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and a special tribute to the Winter Olympics, featuring food from four dif- ferent countries served to the back- ground accompaniment of ethnic music. For dessert, ice cream was served from a small ice cream mountain in the center of the cafeteria. Although Conn. Hall meals can be drab and monotonous, the festive meals always pose a nice change for the good old taste buds.

It can be an enriching extra-curricular event.

Alma Mater Spring Week - April 22 - 25, 1980 The week of fun and entertainment began with the Arts and Crafts fair of S.C.S.C. student and professional wares. On Tuesday of that week, the College Union held a Cartoon Festival, beginning at 12:00 noon. Animal House was shown that night at the Pub, and those with togas were admitted free. On Wednesday, the annual Kite Festival sponsored by WSCB took place, and Blushing Brides handled the musical end during the day while Eight to the Bar took over full 40's swing at night. On Thursday, Southern outdid themselves with a tug-of-war, the roller- skating on campus and the free popcorn and cotton candy. Musical entertainment, although it amplified through the classrooms in Engle- man, was appreciated greatly by the crowd congregating outside the Pub - thanks to Toulouse. Thursday night, the Meade Brothers Band carried on the theme of Total Entertainment! On Friday, the Leather and Lather vaudeville team struck campus at noon, and later on in the evening, Trent Arterberry, the mime artist, appeared in the Pub. Beer, Food, Fun and giveaways, the whole Spring Week was success- ful! On April 1st the Amazing Kreskin ap- peared to a full house on Lyman's stage. He is not a psychic, an oocultist, a for- tune-teller, a mind reader, a medium or a hypnotist. He is however a master at the powers of suggestion, as he proved through his uninterrupted show. A small group of students were brought through a series of imaginery situations. Those on stage failed to recognize the audience and therefore were uninhibited about any suggestion Kreskin placed in their heads. Those in the audience were left in wonder. As the capturing night came to a close Kreskin performed his final trick and of- fered to give his check to anyone who could hide his check without his knowl- edge of finding. Kreskin performed his magic to a skeptical crowd but none- the-less intriqued by the amazing powers. 'So Wi On Tuesday, May 6, the annual Honors Convocation ceremony was held at Lyman Auditorium. Family and friends were invited to witness the conferring upon the soon-to-be graduates of awards, recognition and congratulations for outstanding achievements. Students and staff in full graduation dress marching into the tune of Pomp and Circum- stance created a fine beginning to senior celebrations and swelled par- ticipants and spectators with an ap- preciation of accomplishment and a sense of pride.

One or two campus rallies, TV coverage and all - there we are, S.C.S.C. students joined to- gether for a common purpose. A bunch of college kids get together in Hartford and stage a 'sit-in', and one radical chained himself to a fence and wouldn't undo the chains until the governor herself came out to greet the jeering crowd. Three Mile Island episode had its effect and drifted off it seemed, until buttons were printed and articles written to rejuvenate the concern. Apparently, radio-active material does have an afterlife that we can't foresee. Paper was collected on campus so that this book could be printed on recycled paper, and if there-were a dozen involved, that's all there were, thanks to those who carried out an idea. lt seems that we as students are looking for something to rally about, some cause to raise arms and voices about. The problem is there is no cause, or there are too many causes to work for. We have many opportunities to change the prob- lems - after all, it is 1980 and we have graduated from college with 5 Cause . . . our respective degrees. There haunts us a grand reces- sion with inflation higher than ever expected. There exists over-popula- tion, over-spending of budgets and over-exhaustion. School puts us into a 180-day- per-year calendar and expects us to handle part-time jobs and student loans. Parents put us into traditional modes that many times we can't comply with - some of us want to travel cross-country and leave all this behind, pick up in a new chal- lenging place instead of being cramped. Some of us want to go to graduate school to further out knowledge and experience in a field we believe in. Still others follow the scent of SS and make the compro- mises that go along with it. This graduating class, like any other, is as different as 1300 plus people can be. But we are similar in some ways. We have been students we have had the opportunity to at- tend college and protest if so de- sired. Each of us by now has a short-term charted plan which may change as we change ourselves. But we are anxious- Anxious to make money. Anxious to get that graduate degree. Anxious to put to use the knowledge through people and books we have encountered. One of us doesn't want to be swallowed by 9-5. One of us doesn't want to be swamped with grad work. One of us doesn't want to be troubled with travelling and still an- other isn't even interested in this. So in that way, we are all rebels against a certain kind of tradition - without a common cause to unite us. Rebels without a cause .... Aren't we'?'? Security rally, Budget cut rallies, Protest march in Hartford, BOT meetings, Anti-Nuke rally, Vet's Day gathering, lranian dispute - Combine all these people, but yet there were still many more who showed up for the Oktoberfest! Southern's umbilical cord to the third world ln the wretched refugee camps of Thailand exist among, others the people of two Laotian tribal minor- ities. The ancient civilizations of the H'mong and Yao have their roots in the history of Southeast Asia and in the mountains of the country of Laos. These people were American allies for fifteen years, and sacrificed many of their men as they fought bravely with us against the Commu- nist forces threatening their country and continent. When the Commu- nist Vietnamese, supported by Rus- sia, finally took over their country and the Americans withdrew, the mountain people were left defense- less. And the casulaties continued, as Communist chemical warfare re- duced the threat posed by the small numbers of their resistance. The H'mong and Yao took flight to the precarious safety of the obscure mountain trails, but even here the gassing continued, and no one knew except the predators, the vic- tims and the survivors. The treach- erous climb down the mountain and across the Mekong River to an exis- tance in the miserable and crowded refugee camps of Thailand further took its toll in lives until their popula- tion was numbered at a pitiful 70,000 as compared to the original count of one million. Dr. Jane Hamilton-Merritt, a pho- tographer-journalist with a PhD in Asian Studies and an assistant pro- fessor in the Journalism department at Southern, has taken it upon her- self to communicate the plight of the mountain folk to the American peo- ple. As a war correspondent in Viet- nam, her 1969 news series was no- minated for a Pulitzer Prize in lnter- national Reporting. in the mid- 1960's, she became acquainted with and lived among the H'mong and Yao people, and the intimate friendship now existing between her and them began with a warm rap- port - as a farmer's daughter origin- ally from Indiana, she felt a kinship with them and their bonds with the earth. Dr. Hamilton-Merritt chooses to let the textile arts of the H'mong and Yao and her own collection of pho- tographs tell the story of these peo- ple. The bright colors and exquisite design of the traditional dress of the hill people are their means of com- municating and passing down their fascinating and complex culture. The photographs of Jane Hamilton- Merritt contrast the colorful lives of these people before they were dri- ven from their ancient mountain homes to the bleak and wretched existence they now must endure in the refugee camps. The textile arts and the photographs combine to make up a startlingly attractive, yet shockingly tragic travelling exhibit - Dr. Hamilton-Merritt's vehicle to call attention to our abandoned allies. At the New Haven showing at the United Church Parish House from May 4-29 this year, many of Dr. Hamilton-Merritt's students joined forces with church members and other interested and concerned per- sons to host the exhibit. The pro- ceeds from the sale of the textile arts are recycled back to the cre- ators, providing food and more ma- terials for them to continue their unique expression of their culture. Jane Hamilton-Merritt's dedi- cated and virtually single-handed ef- forts on behalf of these people - her friends - are focused on bringing their plight to the American people with the ultimate goal of obtaining a full Congressional hearing on the matter of the tragedy of the geno- cide of the hill tribes of Laos - the danger they and their culture face of being wiped off the face of this earth. We American people must join the fight to insure just treatment of those who were our loyal allies in Vietnam. Must we now leave bewil- dered and defenseless those who fought with us for an ideal we both so strongly upheld? Jane Hamilton- Merritt believes that shipping these people as refugees to foreign con- tries, including American, is a Com- munist ploy to create economic and social havoc: the answer and their heart's desire lies in re-establishing them in their home land. The Con- gressional hearing will, hopefully, bring about an American defense of our abandoned allies - by putting a halt to the gassing of the H'mong and Yao, some of whom are still fleeing to Thailand, and by relocat- ing them in their own land where they most truly wish to live. As in- formed American citizens, we must let our Congressmen know of our concern and demand, along with Jane Hamilton-Merritt, a full Con- gressional hearing and justice for our allies. The Yearbook Staff would like to commend Jane Hamilton-Merritt for her dedicated and selfless commi- tment to the H'mong and Yao mountain people. We hope that we Americans might not only appreci- ate her involvement, but join her if only by writing our Congressmen, in her faithful efforts on behalf of our forgotten friends in Southeast Asia. I'd rather fight for a beer than for a cause Registration leads to the draft and the draft leads to war. Maybe none of us were born in 1960-61 but think about it - the draft does affect everyone. Whether it be your brother, your brother-in- law, next door neighbor, high school friends or the kids who have just entered junior year in college. Twen- ty and twenty-one year old boys. Whether you know anyone in these categories or not, your friends do, your relatives do and your neighbors do. And whether you believe it or not, the draft into a war affects every- one, our side and theirs. These issues may not matter to you at all, but if you think about it enough, you'll understand that you will probably be the next group to sign up for registration, the twenty- two to twenty-four year old group. Scarey? You bet it is. Are you doing anything about it'?'? A few young guys are filing for conscientious ob- jectors, more are just not registering at all. Neither seems to cross the communication gap set up by the remainders of heroes. It is not heroic nor fair to to put a twenty year old kid into an army camp and then ship him out when he is tough enough. There is one thing about being an American and many of our parents believe that that one thing is defend- ing our country red, white and blue. But as far as my conception of be- ing American goes, it doesn't entail killing, maiming, bombing or blow- ing up another country just to prove we're superior - it's having the guts to say we're Americans and we don't need to kill others just to keep our economy and our morale up. Being an American is an opportuni- ty l am grateful to be given and if anyone should try to take this land and ransack or convert it, I'd defend it and all it stands for. But initiating a registration now means something else is in the works, and that's a frightening feel- ing. This year, the Veteran's Club on campus held a Vet's day pro and con discussion in the Pub. Ask anyone of the Vietnam vets, and I assume the answer varies is small dialogue, but when the ques- tion is asked - was it worth it?? ls it ever worth it'?? I suppose the Revolutionary War for freedom, the World Wars I and ll, but the others could have been worked out if we would just think of the others as our brothers The draft issue is big on the mar- ket today, and all the information will probably be sent to you soon as most of you are of prime age for military service. Little is known now of exactly how much women will be allowed to act in the armed forces. the E.R.A. will push it to the maximum, and we could all find ourselves up for physi- cals and haircuts. After graduation we will all settle into our part-time or preferably tull- time jobs and probably forget that at one time things like this were cen- ters of conversation. And during the summer after graduation if you hear of a registration for people of your age group, I hope you're prepared to stick up for what you believe in. I hope you have the guts to say America is much more to me than a reason to go to war - it's a reason to live and let live harmoniously. Our Class Presi ent at the Podium Eresident Jenfnings, faculty, administration, parents, friends and the graduates of the Class of 1980. lfhave the distinct honor of welcoming you to the Commencement exercises of the Class of 1980. Four years ago at Freshman Orientation, a man stood on the stagewho I did not know and invited every freshman to takethe time to drop in on him and visit. That man was Manson Van Buren Jennings. For a president of a school this size to make that type of invitation surprised me. He surprised me again by asking me to introduce him at Commencement. Before I introduce him, I would like to bid aifond farewell to you, my classmates of the Class of 1980. I hope every one of you realizes what a quality education you've received here at Southern. Southern can boast of a veryfirfinestaff and administration. if you .r.. haven't received from Southern what you hoped to, just waitg they' re giving out diplomas in a little while. leave these hallowed walls and friends we have made over the past four or more years. Never lose touch with Soiithernil write, calland visit once ina while no matter what you become in life. Carl Binder once wrote: ffiif anylafof us are tofbecome teachers., I believe a true teacher's gift is to guide a man's discovery of himself. ln truth, we can only give what we have discovered for ourselves. Today marks the end of your college education but not the end of your discoveries, which I hope will never end for you. I've discovered today that it's not over: it's just beginning, and l hope you make the same discovery. I We started school in kindergarten as children: some of us are leaving school with children of our own. I would also like to thankgthe parents today for your support. lf you hadn'thelped us in third grade with that homework assignment, we might not be here now. Today you are watching your children graduate from college, but your children are not your Chli'dl'6l l,.:6S Kahlil Gibran once said: , . they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself they come throughyou but not from you and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. i You may house their bodies, but not their souls, for their ,souls dwell in the I house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. .

And it is only fair to explain the idea behind this award. The Laurel salutes all the professors and administrators as a respectful gesture, but aside from that, this year the Laurel has initiated an award for that professor or administrator who has shown the most active concern for the betterment of Southern's environment, whether it be a social or security issue. This year's Laurel Award, we are proud to announce, goes to a very tough professor but one who believes in the word fair. Professor Ed Harris spoke out loudly when the budget cut protests were being held. He also gave a speech to a very small group on the campus security. ln countless areas, this professor has demonstrated the concern and talent to bridge the gap from the administration to the students. ' Our award is but scribbled here, but its meaning goes much farther than that. Congratulations and thank you, Professor Ed Harris. Political Science dept. Editor's note This summer's heat has drained the last ounce of energy I have and it is in this condition I am forced to look in retrospect over long hours and restless nights. l feel closer to this book and all it took from me to my left arm at times. Though procrastination and apathy diseased the majority of the staff it is, however, gratifying to know the sweat and worry has now manifested itself in this yearbook. Someone once told me that the yearbook is like a baby and once you've completed the painful process of birthing it it has to stand on its own and get counted for what its worth no longer for what I can do for it. I can only hope that as you review these pages of the 1979-1980 year you can appreciate the time, effort and energy put into it. Congratulations to all and best of luck in all your future endeavors!
