University of Nebraska Kearney - Blue and Gold Yearbook (Kearney, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1988 volume:

E D I 0 R I L Mark liut x: HIiw i- Culd titihar t 's been two short years since the Blue Gold has changed its format from the traditional yearbook format to that of a magazine. As a staff member for the Blue Gold during the past two years, I’ve seen much change. As editor of the 1988 Blue Gold, I wanted to see that change continue for the better. I wanted this year’s Blue Gold to be a reflection of the entire KSC campus. This year, I believe we have captured that campuswide coverage I’d hoped to achieve. Inside, you ’ll find stories relating to art, economics, politics, sports and a wrap- up of this academic year’s events. Jana Walz visited art professor Ray Schultz and explored the craft of glass blowing. Political science department chairman Thomas Magstadt provided a reflection on the U.S. Constitution, which America celebrated its 200th birthday last year. Ande Rye visited with Magstadt, economics department chairman Sam Reno and physics and physical science department chairman Marvin Glasser about America’s political, economic and environmental future. We also have reflected on the events of 20 years ago this year. In our special section, you will find a recap ofl 968. It reflects the social upheaval, music and headlines of that era in which many of us are too young to remember. Some may ask why we consider ourselves as a magazine and still retain the hardcover. The reason is you, the student body. Twenty years down the road, the 1988 Blue Gold will still contain memories of the 1987-88 school year and remain intact. The hardcover serves as a form of permanency for this magazine. With less than half the writers of the two previous Blue Gold magazines, this year’s staff was able to produce the same size magazine and make it an informative and entertaining publication. I would like to thank all staff members and editors for their tremendous effort and dedication toward this magazine. Had it not been for their perseverance, I would probably still be enduring sleepless nights, scratching my head and wondering how to go about publishing a 96-page magazine. I hope you will find this year’s Blue Gold as informative as entertaining. c o N T _E T _S MAGAZINE FARM AID III Farm Aid III brings a crisis to the attention of the nation.

What is in store for 1988? Where will we be in 10 years; what condition will our country be in? How will we deal with the changes that are destined to occur in the next decade? These and other questions were presented to three KSC professors: Dr. Marvin Glasser, chairman of the Physics and Physi- cal Science Department; Dr. Sam Reno, chairman of the Business De- partment; and Dr. Thomas Mag- stadt, chairman of the Political Sci- ence Department. These men were asked to give their views and speculate on the fu- ture in their respective fields of the world, country and economy. Glasser explains that beginning on a large scale, the earth and its at- mosphere will remain about the same due to the fact that 10 years is a split second in the life of the earth; however certain things will happen to influence long term changes. One factor Glasser spoke of was “global deterioration due to popula- tion growth.” This means that the growth of the number of peo- ple will ease due to the increase of pollution and the decrease of natural resources, thus leading to the necessity of finding al- ternative energy sources and of recycling existing resources. Glasser continued to explain that due to the expected in- crease in coal consumption, the amount of sulfur dioxide col- lects in the atmosphere and causes acid rain similar to that now occurring in some parts of the U.S., Canada and Europe. Car- bon dioxide is also slowly increasing the “greenhouse effect” of the atmosphere. This effect causes the earth’s atmosphere to hold in the heat rays from the sun, thus not allowing them to escape. This effect raises the overall temperature of the earth. While global environmental problems are on the increase, the earth’s resources are decreasing, Glasser said. Of particular concern to the future is the estimate that the civilizations of Urphe Earth and its atmosphere will remain JL about the same due to the fact that 10 years is a split second in the life of the Earth. ” —Glasser earth in the next decade will be in the middle of the 50-to-60- year time span that the oil supply is speculated to last. Accord- ing to Glasser, global production will peak before the year 2000, by then more than half of the world’s oil will have been con- sumed, This may mean an increase in technology for developing other sources of energy. Speculation still surrounds the use of nuclear power for an alternative power source. Glasser believes the Soviet Union and The greenhouse effect causes the earth’s atmo- sphere to hold in the heat rays from the sun. France will surpass the United States in the development of nuclear power because they are more committed to it as an en- ergy source. Space technology will also be on the rise becoming a multi- Thomas Magstadt: Political Science Department chair- man 2 billion dollar industry in the next decade. “Superconductivity” will be the most exciting new technology to develop in the next decade. According to Glasser, it may be used to levitate some forms of transportation. Superconductivity is the process whereby a current can be transferred without the loss of energy. Space ex- ploration, observation and commu- nication should also increase with the launching of an observatory — the space station along with the Gal- lilean probes to Jupiter projected to materialize before the end of the de- cade. The space station, which will take a decade to complete, will play a major role in developing industrial processes in space and in conducting scientific research into new materi- als and medications in the weightless environment it will provide. Glasser said these projections will become more “cost effective and feasible in the future but theyare no solution to overcrowding yet.” “Moon mining” also on the list of technological advances, is the mining of asteroids that approach the earth more closely uperconductivity is the process whereby a cur- rent can be transferred without the loss of ener- gy■ than the moon. These asteroids are meteor-type bodies that are high in valuable metals such as nickel. But what about here at home in 1988? How will Americans fair economically? Reno believes that businesses will turn to a more service-oriented nature because the demand is so high now and will only increase with the necessity of the two-income family. Reno is optimistic about an increase in international trade, with an emphasis on “where the best deal is.” This opinion is due to the increase in foreign markets and availability of prod- ucts. Businesses will update factories with new equipment to cut costs, making products cheaper while creating potential jbbs to service the new equipment. The formats of businesses will also change because they will be more moti- vated to be cost efficient and competitive, thus opening the door for new management and mar- keting concepts, financing and ideas for manu- facturing, he said. One of these manufacturing ideas Reno mentioned is a type of domestic system already being used in Japan, where people manufacture products in the home for use elsewhere. Japan uses this system to make parts for various prod- ucts, thus using a strong force of labor while al- lowing people to work with flexible hours and earn extra money for their households. Reno said this could work in the United States by way of the neighborhood. Reno sees higher education meaning better technology and business playing a part in making it possible. Multi-revolution space stations, high-speed and improved transportation, the doubling of the real GNP within the next 25 years to $8 trillion, oon mining is the mining of asteroids that ap- proach the earth more closely than the moon. a richer and broader consumer market, women and minorities comprising 80 percent of the work force, and marketing and ad- vertising through cable TV are among the ideas already surfac- ing in the business world, he added. Thus we will have more money and products to spend it on while the earth is slowly dying, but what about our political situation in the next 10 years? If we don’t agree with our global neighbors now, we may not be around to see 1988. Dr. Magstadt had a few speculations on the political out- look as a nation. Though things will remain about the same, “the U.S. is a liberal-conservative society and it has been for 200 years; I don’t think it will change in the next 10.” Magstadt said he feels there is “little likelihood of any type of space wars due to the lack of technology.” The mining of sea bed minerals has more international tensions than the fear of space wars, according to Magstadt. He said communism will stabilize. “The communist pow- ers won’t suddenly collapse but they won’t take over the world either.” In addition the relations between the U.S. and the So- viets will remain about the same, according to Magstadt. (if I There is little likelihood of any type of space - ■ wars due to the lack of technology — Magstadt “The countries have lived together for 40 years,” said Mag- stadt, “they haven’t gone to war yet.” Nuclear weapons will also neccessitate more collaboration and dialogue in the next 10 years. Magstadt said there will be “more arms-control agree- ments and eased tensions in some areas while also more conflict in others.” So what changes are forecast to happen in the next decade? Glasser, Reno and Magstadt all agree that the increase in space technology and the im- provements of present technology will dominate the next 10 years. These changes will be most no- ticeable in the areas of business and physics. Poli- tics will play the role of negotiator for international trade policies, space exploration policies and our relationships with the other countries inhabiting this earth. And although we may speculate on what may happen in the future how we deal with these changes is up to each individual to choose.

They’re only stupid superstitions, right? Except they aren’t so stupid if you believe in just one of them! Almost all people, KSC students in- cluded, have crazy superstitions. As I discovered, many students listen to, or read their horoscope every day. After an incident a few weeks ago, I think I might believe almost anything. I was involved in an accident with my boyfriend’s pickup; my roommate noted that we had missed listening to our ho- roscopes that morning. Perhaps my horoscope would have predicted this ac- cident. After that day was finally over, I think 1 would have believed that the earth was a triangle. It wasn’t a “good” day at all! Some people actually believe they’re going to have a bad day whenever Mon- day rolls around. Our fuzzy little friend Garfield even believes that Mondays should be dropped off the calendar! But why do people have such fears? I tried to find out. Many superstitions come from movies, like Friday The 13thf or maga- zines and television; but mostly they come from oneself. If a person really be- lieves in something enough it will hap- pen. Let's say that a black cat crosses my path on Friday the 13th. If I believe enough in those myths, something will happen to me. Whatever that something is, you can believe it’ll be bad! Remember back to when you were a little kid in bed at night, all alone in the dark with the exception of a few stuffed animals. Remember how afraid you were to get up to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water because of the boogey- monster in your closet or under your bed. A lot of students surveyed said that was their greatest fear — being eated by a monster! But why? Children could be afraid of some monster puppet they saw on Sesame Street. What kind of excuse is there for teenagers, grown men and women? There have been some crazy things that have happened here on campus. Two roommates, who wished to be anon- ymous, began to notice strange and ba- zaar things going on in their room. For four days one girl’s clock Tan back- wards. She kept setting it back to the correct time, but couldn’t figure out what was go- ing on. When she told some friends, they just laughed and said she was seeing things. Then they began to take note at one particular wall hanging they had. It would move around and turn sideways on the wall. Now they knew something was go- ing on. Another thing they said that oc- curred, was their beds would shake; not really bad, just a type of vibration. At the time of the interview, the beds still vi- brated. All the other occurrences have quit, but the beds still move. Do you believe them? Could it have really hap- pened? The oblong light fixture on the ceiling spins; the curtains blow from some wind (but all the win- dows are closed); there are flashes of light across the ceiling; and if you listen, a very, very dist-ant weeping can be heard. Another person, who doesn’t wish to be recognized, reported an incident he heard about in Conrad Hall. Many years ago, a college girl hung herself in one of the rooms. The occu- pants of this room today said that spooky things happen in this room. The oblong light fixture on the ceil- ing spins; the curtains blow from some wind (but all windows are closed); there are flashes of light across the ceiling; and if you listen, a very, very dis- tant weeping can be heard. Now if that doesn’t make you hate your room, I don’t know what would! But, are these true happenings or does the mind play such a trick on you that you can’t tell make-be- lieve from re- ality? Is it all in our minds, or do these things really happen? The mind believes what it wants to believe. I’m not saying that these things don’t happen. But if a person is superstitious enough about something, it will happen. The de- cision is yours. Believe it, or not. n 6 IT at CG w] T! th m W! ■3. KSmSctniltft HESS t Making the Grade KSC MEN AND WOMEN ENGAGE IN A BATTLE OF THE SEXES OVER GRADE POINT AVERAGES. WOMEN APPEAR TO BE WINNING THE TUG-OF-WAR SO FAR. It’s the same old story. The battle of the sexes - who is the better? Boys are stronger; girls are smar- ter. Right? Isn't that the way it is? Well? Maybe ... On KSC s campus the gals out num- ber the guys. During the spring semester 1987. the total enrollment of KSC was 57 percent female — good news for the guys! The total grade point average during the 1987 spring se- mester was 2.974. The total male GPA was 2.767 and the total fe- male GPA was 3.128. Well� okay, there’s not much to brag about there. There were a mere 14 per- cent of the girls who had to look else- where, go without or share. But, here s something to ponder. The total grade point average for all those enrolled at KSC for the same se- mester was 2.974. The total male GPA was 2.767. The total female GPA was 3.128. Come on guys! The girls showed you up! What is it, guys? Is it that you were so busy being fought over by the girls you hardly had time to study, while the girls had time off occa- sionally? Not to worry. If 2.0 “C” is aver- age, all average GPAs were well above. The total undergraduate GPA was 2.803 while graduate students main- tained a higher GPA which to- talled 3.607. The trend is higher GPAs with a high- er class standing. For the spring se- mester 1987 fresh- men totalled an average GPA of 2.530; sopho- mores were slightly higher with 2.741; juniors again climbed with 2.878; and seniors held a 3.059 average GPA. Survival is possible as confirmed by those who received degrees during the 1986-87 yeaj. Out of the 1,196 degrees re- ceived, yes, the majority were received by women with 45 percent baccalaure- ate, 12 percent master’s and 1 percent specialist as opposed to the men’s 33 per- Conn’d.

Mehete Sizer BE36 At Last the new SINCE 1968, MANY THINGS HA VE CHANGED: THE YOUTH’S MUSIC, SEXUAL ATTITUDES AND PEOPLE’S VIEWS TOWARD THEM- SELVES. BLUE GOLD RETURNS TO THAT YEAR VIEWED AS ROMANTIC TO FIND HOW OUR PERSPECTIVES TOD A Y COMPARE TO THOSE OE 1968. The 1960’s will likely be remembered as a decade of great change and un- rest. The year 1968 was the highlighted year during that restless decade which seemed to pinpoint exactly where America stood. That year marked the end of America’s illusion of being a world power in control of itself and on the rise. It also represents the beginning of the realization that the United States was losing the war in Vietnam, a war that many said we should not have been fighting in the first place. Thus, 1968 not only became a year of great political protest, but it as also a year of social and moral change. The civil rights movement was stronger than ever; young men burned their draft tickets to protest the Vietnam War; the youth of America re- belled against authority with many creating their own lifestyle, an approach to life that did not include moral codes or ethics. The youth became the “voice’1 of America as they listened to their acid rock, experimented with various drugs, and included casual sex in their way of life. The year 1968, a time of restlessness, turmoil and change may seem so far away from us now - yet it is not. It is a part of us, a part of our American history and we cannot forget it. We cannot forget all those who lost their lives in the Vietnam War; we cannot forget all those, including a great number of musicians, who died of drug overdoses; we cannot forget the open decline of morality which was creat- ed by the sexual revolution. The important question today we must ask ourselves 20 years later in 1988 is: “Have we learned anything since 1968?” The news stories, the headlines, and the faces of AIDS victims or those who have died of their addiction to cocaine don’t indicate that we have learned our lesson. Yet, according to August 1987 Glamour survey of 1,200 college stu- dents across the nation, “Students today are surprisingly more traditional.” The survey also said, “About half of all college students say the threat of AIDS has caused them to change their sexual habits.” Is AIDS the only catalyst for change? Is AIDS the rea- son why the youth of the 80s see sex in a different light than the generation before them did? Not entirely. The August, 1987, issue of Cosmo- politan printed an article titled “Whatever Happened to Great Sex (and the single girl)?” which discusses the subject of the sexual attitudes of the 80s in comparison to those of the 60s. The article quotes Stephen Josephson, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Cornell Medical Cen- ter in New York, “For the single women I know, both personally and in my practice, sex has become more mundane and infrequent. Partly this is attributable to anxiety about sexually transmitted diseases, but it’s also due to changing values. Increasingly, women want sex exclusively in the context of a fully committed and emotional rela- tionship.” Evidence from the article shows that single women and their lifestyles have changed in the last decade, but it is also evident that the same holds true for most bachelors too. Even the “meeting” place of a potential mate has changed. The health clubs of the 80s seem to have taken the place of the erotic singles bars of the 60s. There still are, of course, those who ignore all risks, especially health risks, and participate frequently in casual sex, but the number of those who do so seems to be growing smaller. In a September, 1987, issue of Glamour an article titled “Sex, Aids, and Pillow Talk” reported that something good did come out of all the terrible news about AIDS. “People are at least beginning to think about their sexual behavior and are trying to talk to their partners about it. People hold AIDS responsible for the death of hard- won sexual freedoms; as with any death, the grieving takes time and always includes some denial. Coming to grips with AIDS is, for many, a process; it begins by thinking Morality 6 and talking about safety and evolves, fi- nally. into action ' We., here at KSC, may see AIDS as something that is only a threat in other states, states with a much higher popula- tion. Not so. In an August 31, 1987, issue of the Kearney Daily Hub, an article on AIDS stated: “A Nebraska Health De- partment draft report estimated that Nebraska could record 672 cases of AIDS by the end of 1991. 35 AIDS cases have been diagnosed in Nebraska -------------------------- since 1983 ' Gloria Tye, head registered nurse and direc- tor of the Stu- dent Health Ser- vices office at = KSC, indicated that Student Health Services has be- come actively involved in educating stu- dents, faculty and staff to the risk of AIDS HiTS HOME AIDS through the programs they have developed in the last two years. Some of the services that Student Health offers include: providing educa- tional sessions to residence hall direc- tors, residence assitants and peer health counselors; loaning educational videos out from the video library to instructors for use in the classroom and giving bro- chures and bookmarks to the library and bookstores. Student Health has also worked with other KSC departments, such as: physical education, home eco- nomics, school of nursing, residence life, counseling and many more by providing information or furnishing a speaker to help educate others about AIDS. “We’ve targeted on the freshman class this year with informational pack- ets on sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS,” Tye said. She also says that there has been a lot of interest in their programs but the demand is more from faculty and staff. She said that KSC isn't all that much dif- ferent from other colleges and universi- ties across the nation. “They’ve shown average concern as compared to others ' According to Tye, many young people don’t really have a great deal of concern about AIDS, or any other disease, be- About half of all college stu- dents say the threat of AIDS has caused them to change their sexu- al habits. ” —Glamour cause they have a hard time seeing them- selves becoming infected with a disease. We all, however, must face AIDS, no matter where we live or how old we are. This is what students must realize now, before it's too late. AIDS is here and it's not just going to go away if we ignore it - so face it! As far as age is concerned, the AIDS victims are almost all young. The report in the August 10, 1987, issue of Newsweek, included a photo display of 302 men, worn- --------------------- en, and children, all who died of AIDS in the pre- vious 12 months. “They are only a small frac- tion of the 4,000 known so far to have died during that time the article read. But taken to- gether, they form a mosaic portrait of the face of AIDS in America. It is a young face, for the most part; the people pic- tured ranged from an infant of one year to a widow of 87. The mean age was 36, and their common lot was the loss of their best years.” Newsweek goes on to say: “The census of the dead stands at 22,548 now, by the govern- ment’s conservative count. As many as a million and a half more Ameri- THE FACE OF AMDS iS YOVXG cans are thought to be infected with the AIDS virus. No preventative medicine except prudence is any- where in sight, and neither is a cure. The toll, accordingly, has nowhere to go but up; how high remains a matter of educated guesswork, but one re- sponsible estimate is that the body count will have reached 179,000 by 1991. Since the AIDS epidemic has hit America, one fact is certainly clear now in 1988: we certainly have come a long way since the sexual revolution was launched in the 60s. “The mass shedding of erotic inhib- itions that began in the mid 1960s was the product of several important histori- cal coincidences: The Pill became com- mercially available; large numbers of sin- gle, self-supporting women poured into THE POWER OF CHOICE MS COSTEY the nation’s cities; the baby-boom gener- ation hit its libido-crazed adolescence, according to the August Cosmopolitan, “High on their youth, rebellion, rock mu- sic and pot, the boomers undressed in re- cord numbers to the slogan 'Make Love, Not War Looking back now, one can’t help but wonder if it ail was really worth it Sure, it increased openness, but how much did we lose because of the sexual revolution? We now have AIDS, and ac- cording to Cosmopolitan (August, 1987), a need for making love in a fully commit- ted and loving relationship seems to have been “missing since the sexual revolu- tion when sex became “just sex. These two factors are key reasons why our sexu- al attitudes must and are starting to change. “So many Cosmopolitan readers wrote negatively about the sexual revo- lution, expressing longings for vanished intimacy and the now elusive joys of ro- mance and commitment, that we began Sexual Attitudes UEN MM EM 1 ULkril In tfmiofendo you imiftact N MT 2m 25% 20% 12% Usstfanonuimorth 20% 30% 21% 17% OnceortMtoMinorth 28% 12% 22% 13% Uott U� n Mot i north 2 % 33% ; 36% I 51% mmmwmM Y« 28% 32% 40% | 33% tStel It about right 80% 72% B3% | 55% H ft mores ! 17% 22% 33% 43% rtf nee in 3% -i e% 4% 1 2% 43% Y« I 43% to sense there might be a sexual counter- revolution underway in America, the article read. Have we learned anything since 1968? Let’s hope so, and let's also hope that those who haven’t, learn fast. The sad part about AIDS is that the power of choice, which encompasses making the wrong one, could cost you your life. For many it is already too late. Vyj 7 ROCK- Alive and Kickin'! The generation of today still look back on the 1960s in awe. It was an era that still has a powerful hold on the imaginations of today. Americans grew up in a rush of history that included the student-protest movements and civil rights movements, the drug culture, the rock n’ roll explosion; the war in Viet- nam, the assassinations of its political heroes; the rise and fall of Richard Nix- on, the unbridled growth of nuclear weapons; the birth of the environmental movement, and the liberation of sexuali- ty. Rock 'n’ roll was no longer consid- ered teenage dance music; it tried to con- vey the concerns and opinions of a gener- ation that was prepared to question ev- erything. Bruce Springsteen once said, '‘Because of the naivete of the era, it’s easily trivialized and laughed at. But un- derneath it, 1 think, people were trying in some sense to redefine their own lives and the country that they lived in, in some more open and free and just fash- ion. And that was real; that desire was real.” The year 1967 -------------- was a big year for rock in% roll. It was a year of astonishing debuts by Jimi Hendrix and the “Velvet Under- u I don't like MTV be- cause it changes how we ex- perience music. I don't ground” and the Rol- ling Stones “Be- tween the Buttons”. As concept albums _____________________ go, “Absolutely Free” or “We’re Only in It for the Money” the two “Mothers of In- vention” LPs released in 1967, not to mention “The Who Sell Out”. Also an excellence piece of psychedelia was the Pink Floyd's “Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” One of the most controversial popular albums of today’s and past gen- eration’s is the eighth album of the Beatles, which is their “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album. Carol Lomicky, a mass communica- tions instructor at KSC, said “It was the first time that rock was recognized as a work of art, because of the fact that ar- tists were able to put so many innova- tions into one album.” She said that not music. think music should be watched; I think it should be listened to. ” —Lomicky only did the Beatles bring, “respect to the world of rock a9 a whole,” but many doors were opened with the introduction of this record. For instance, it was the first album that introduced an instru- mental classical sound mixed with rock. Also the lyrics were printed on the back cover. To many, the Beatles popularity still remains a mystery, but it is quite ap- parent that because of this mystery and many other factors, they will remain popular with each generation as time goes on. ROLLING STONE AND WOODSTOCK Another new innovation in rock mu- sic was Rolling Stone Magazine which first came out in 1967 with, who else, but John Lennon on the cover. Roiling Stone enlightened the world of music with a touch of politics and news mixed in with the right combination of rock ‘n’ roll. One famous event that will be re- membered in the history of rock ‘n’ roll is what was known as “Woodstock.” Dur- ing this very visible rock marathon all who came were exposed to such greats as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young and many other well- known artists. With the spirit of the fes- tivities in the air, the ----------- crowd was also ex- posed to three hot, rain-soaked days of heavy music (and sometimes even heavier marijuana), but many say they left feeling that they had shared a mystical communal experi- ence. A NEW DECADE FOR ROCK As the ’60s faded into the seventies, rock V roll seemed to lose something, maybe music lost its innocence as the drugs kicked in. Within the space of 10 months, the tragic loss of three of rock ‘n’ roll’s most distinctive voices - Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Jop- lin. Hendrix, 27, died from suffocation after vomiting while unconscious from sleeping pills. Joplin, 27, also died from a drug overdose. Jim Morrison’s cause of death was unknown, because his body was never found although speculation is that it was drug-related. Going farther and faster than any other musical show in history. Hair, the musical that had been a smash hit off Broadway, became a smash hit on Broadway. Another musical that hit the rock scene was the international phe- nomenon, Jesus Christ Superstarf a mu- sical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, that depicted the suffering and crucifixion of the savior. The Jackson Five hit it big in the 1970s years before they made their very successful world tour in the 1980s. Another big success for Broadway and rock V roll was the 1975 all-black version of The Wiz which was later made into a film starring Michael Jackson, Di- ana Ross, among many other familiar ar- tists. A new wave of rockers moved to stardom and accompanied the punk de- pression and disco’s big dance beat. Groups ranging from the Village People, to Blondie to one of the most controver- sial groups, The Sex Pistols. SUCKIN’ IN THE SEVENTIES As the 1980s began there was a burst of energy in rock V roll. New artists, new ideas, new technologies to be explored, and a whole new way to present the mu- sic. According to Lomicky, “You listen to old music for 20 years ago and it’s so simple sounding. The same chords and not a lot of instrument experimentation. With new technology, synthesizers and all that we have now it (the music) sounds bigger not louder, bigger.” With the 1980s, we said good-bye to the wizard of the music world, John Len- non, whose death was mourned and felt all over the world. But with endings also come new be- ginnings as we said hello to Julian Len- non and the rise of Michael Jackson, one of 1981’s hottest marketing products. Jackson brought with him brealcdancing and the sequined glove. Music Television (MTV), another 1980s phenomenon, was one of the most watched cable channels from the start. Its sole purpose was to show works of music to the public. So the artist not only had to worry about how his song would sound, but how it looked. Lomicky, even though she confessed to watching it from time to time had this to say about MTV, “I don’t like it be- cause it changes how we experience mu- sic. I don’t think music should be watched; I think it should be listened to.” m warn Mfl A « v' CH-CH-CHANGES Rock n' roil has evolved from Jimi Hendrix to the Beastie Boys, from the Beatles to Madonna. We have heard many greats come and go, with each of us having similar or different feelings about what kind of music we listen to. We have come from a drug oriented cul- ture to an age during which we are aware of the consequences of drugs and have Rock Against Drugs(R.A.D.)} an organi- zation opposing drug abuse. We also now have songs that bring out awareness of child abuse. Another big innovation involving rock was Live-Aid, organized by Bob Geldof, who brought together many fa- mous performers to raise money for the homeless and starving. We also have had similar philantrophic rock ventures like “Band-Aid” and “USA for Africa' during which rock pulled togeth- er to raise money for AIDS research and food for Africa’s starving. Lomicky feels these efforts are posi- tive and likewise have an impact on the young. She said, “I think music is tre- mendously influential on young people. They listen to it so much. I listened and it was to me.” Rock ‘n' roll has seen changes in the last twenty years. But it's still alive and kicking and for one basic reason: “Kick down the baracade. Listen to what the kids say, they’re trying and try- ing to change my mind. But the music is here to stay. I’ve seen it all from the bot- tom to the top. Everywhere I go, kids wanna rock.” - Bryan Adams As the 60$ faded into the '70s, rock ln rod seemed to lose some- thing, maybe it lost its innocence as the drugs kicked in. SELF-ESTEEM: THEN AND NOW Self-esteem, favorable appreciation of oneself, was a word that was developed in 1657. The meaning has not changed through the years, although people’s interpreta- tion of self-esteem has. A damaging time for self-esteem may be occasional failure or unsatisfactory response from other people. In an 1968 edition of Today's Health an article says. “Everyone has experienced failures and defeats, it is unavoidable and a part of the pattern to learning our limitations. Todays Health, also says “Self-esteem originates from two sources: within the individual and from the opinions of others. Natural aggression to achieve propels a person's feeling of self-worth.” Praise, accomplishment and rewards enhance self-worth or self-esteem. In 1968, emphasis on self-esteem wasn't as strong as it is in 1988. Parents give children a push to be involved in some activities but didn't make it mandatory that they join every group or organiza- tion. In 1988, this sentiment does not hold true. Parents push their children to be more involved and to succeed in organizations, not only for the child but so parents can have some recognition of their own name, according to Today's Health. Growing up has a great impact on the quality of self- esteem developed. Relationships with parents, grand- parents and brothers or sisters stimulate self-esteem. And those relationships can be competitive, as often demon- strated between brothers and sisters, or they can be close. In 1988, with greater emphasis placed on self-esteem, parents are continually encouraging children to be involved and excel in activities. Excelling in football, basketball, track, speech or music makes parents happy. Not only do the parents benefit but the students get a boost on their ego. Spiritualism and self-esteem are increasing in impor- tance as well. “Employers search for people with great self- esteem and are more apt to hire someone who has a good perception about himself,” according to 1986 AT T study. Spiritualism is more of an importance in life since 1968. People are attending church regularly and participat- ing in activities outside of the church. Lifestyles, clothing and the desire to obtain more knowledge has also increased in importance since 1968. More magazines - Parents, McCalls, Good Housekeep- ing, and Vogue keep the public informed of ways to enhance self-esteem, whereas in 1968, only magazines such as Read- er's Digest and Today's Health carried stories about people, and not cold-cut facts on how to increase one's self-esteem. These magazines along with television and movies have made people in 1988 more conscious about all aspects of themselves. Having a high paying job, new car, new house, new boat and lakefront property seem to boost Am- erican’s opinion of personal self-esteem. In 1988, many people are trying to outdo the other. There is more competition to see exactly who is better at a particular job or sport. Psychologists make appointments everyday to help people deal with the aspects of self-es- teem, according to a November, 1987 Reader's Digest. Although the definition of self-esteem has not changed, the interpretation of the word has caused people to go to great measures to increase self-esteem. Nearly all college students would like to get married, often thinking that marriage will give one a sense of balance and make one's life have a focus, according to the experts. Women are afraid that if they wait, all of the good men will be gone, according to Glamour Magazine. In a study conducted by Glamour Magazine, August, 1987, the following statistics were reported. Some 94 per- cent of men and women expect they will be married by age 30. Five percent of the students polled thought they would be married between the ages 31 and 35. Aiinost none expec- ted to be manned after age 35. Also, 98 percent of male stu- dents see themselves in one marriage in a lifetime com- pared to 95 percent of females. 64 percent opt for someone who has sexual experience. Other facts, which demonstrate changing values: In 1980: 78 percent of females wanted children compared to 84 percent of men. Today 95 percent of women and 93 per- cent of men want children. Sexual attitudes, relationships and choice of mates have changed, which could indicate a strong personal re- solve. Young adults apparently strongly believe in marriage and want it to last, according to Glamour. Uf JR s DEFINING SUCCESS DOES PHYSICAL APPEARANCE REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON’S FUTURE SUCCESS? While some jobs require formal dress or uniforms, others don% as illustrated by Janet Adams of Omaha. As I enter my algebra class, I first notice the girls who sit in the front. On one side are seated the girls who look as if they dare never have a hair out of place; they give the impression that they would not be seen dead without their makeup on! Ironically, on the other side of the room is seated the opposite type of girl equipped with horn-rimmed glasses, no makeup and a look that sug- gested she hadn’t seen a comb for days. This comparison makes me wonder out of these students who will be the most successful? Who will become Am- erica’s future leaders? Does physical ap- pearance really make a difference in their future success? Do beauty and style affect relationships with others? Define success. Will any two people define it exactly alike? Your goals may be very different from mine. Leslie McConnell, KSC academic counselor, defines success: “Partly a state of mind; you have to be the best you can be, and be satisfied with yourself.” Where do looks fit in with success? In a society of television, MTV, HBO, and advertising, people tend to get con- fused. The media overrates good looks; people feel they have to live up to the stars’ images. They buy Polo cologne or Swatch watches to be “in.” Television is a far cry from reality. “Advertising gives the image, if your good looking society will reward you,” said McConnell. ost men preferred wom- AvJ. en with large breasts, medium-to-small hips and medi- um legs.” uMirror, Mirror” by Sprecher Hatfield “Mirror, Mirror” explores the im- portance of physical attractiveness in school, at work and in romatic relation- ships. The book, by Illinois State Univer- sity professor Susan Sprecher and Uni- versity of Hawaii professor Elaine Hat- field, states, “Physically attractive peo- ple are more likely to score good grades and land better jobs than their plainer counterparts.” Some of the book’s findings show: - Couples consider physical attractiveness to be the most important factor in begin- ning interpersonal relationships. -Pretty women get better grades in college than their plainer counterparts, possibly because professors tend to re- member them. 10 -Attractive job applicants are more likely to get hired and be paid more. -Tall men score better in the job market than short men. -Just half of 2,000 people surveyed were extremely or quite satisfied with their looks. Only a few were extremely dissatisfied. -Most of the women surveyed like broad-shouldered men with small hips. Most men preferred women with large breasts, medium-to-small hips and me- dium legs. Although these are general state- ments evidence has been shown to prove them true. “There is evidence, for exam- ple that in a traditionally male domain, physical attractiveness can work against a woman applying for a job,” said Frank Saal, a Kansas State University psycho- logist and author of a 1985 study on male and female sexual interaction. However, Saal also said, “In pink collar fields where women dominate the workforce, attractiveness is good for getting hired and for getting paid well.” In classrooms, the same system applies. Saal said, “In a mechanical engi- neering class, beauty often is going to work against a woman. She’ll be seen as a dizzy dame, out of her league. In home economics, looks will work to her advan- tage.” Looks are helpful in some areas for success, but what about dress? Do clothes really make the person? “Clothes make not the man but the image of man ...said Anne Hollander in the book, “Seeing through Clothes.” Clothes are something we spend most of There is evidence, for ex- -L ample, that in a tradition- ally male domain, physical attrac- tiveness can work against a wom- an applying for a job. ” — Saal our money and time looking for. We either want to look stylish and be with the crowd or rebel against the crowd. By now all of us in college know how to dress for style, but do we dress for success? After reading several articles on how to “Dress for Success” I am beginning to think it’s not what you know, or whom you know, it’s what you wear! You want to project an image of strength, compe- tence and authority. Dr. Sarah J. Sweat, author of “Female Appearance Styles,” said, “It is important to recognize that distinct styles of appearance convey relatively consistent and predictable impres- sions. This symbolic repre- sentation can con- sciously be used to influ- ence reactions from others with whom one inter- acts. Most things are judged by their jackets.” Quality rather than quantity should be remembered when buying a wardrobe for success. Clothes should look expensive but do not have to be expensive. Grooming is also very impor tant. The most important ingredients may be found within yourself. Whatever path you choose in life be it business, art, teaching, just to name a few, to be suc- cessful you must be happy with the life you lead, and the path you have trav- eled. That, in any defini- tion, is success. As Leslie McConnell said, “You must be satisfied with the way you look, and have a positive men- tal attitude in life and you can go as far as you want.” Michelle Thompson BE3G Steve St romp, Spalding, is shopping for clothes at Maurices for an im- portant job in- terview!

The most common mis- take college gradu- ates make in job searching, is not seri- ously looking for a job,” said Dr. Wanda Enns, KSC director of career planning. “They expect the job to come to them, without making any search whatsoever. “One of the first things college stu- dents should know when searching for a job is to be aware of the preparation over a number of years needed.” Enns said, “Planning doesn’t start when a graduate U A resume can be a door opener, but it needs to be precise and to the point ” — Rosenloi is is handed a diploma.” Graduates need to know about themselves, their abilities, special skills, and what employers are looking for, said Jackie Rosenlof, KSC director of place- ment. “Career planning is an integrated component of the educational process, a function that compliments and supplements the curricular program in the fulfillment of the educational objec- tives at KSC,” Enns said. “Career plan- ning should ideally start when a student is a freshman.” Many aspects of seeking a career are important to help students prepare themselves for what possibly will be their first serious job search. To help students through this process, several seminars are offered each semester through the KCS Placement Center. Some titles of sessions for career planning included: “Discovering Your Interests,” “Exploring Your Options,” “Selecting a Major” and “Choosing a Ca- reer.” Special workshops for juniors and seniors included: “The Resume”, “The Interview”, “Letter Writing,” “Dress for Success” and “Corporate Etiquette.” Sessions and workshops are open to all KSC students, usually free of charge. Students who graduate from college get a quick taste of the job market. Many jobs are available, however hundreds of applications may be turned in for one po- sition. the other workshops for KSC career-ori- ented students. Although resumes can be profes- sionally written or standard forms can be used, Rosenlof said, “If you have some- one else write your resume then it’s someone elses. The resume has to say something to get you acquainted with that person on paper.” The earliest resumes included gen- eral information about the person such as physical characteristics and marital Wanda Enns, director of Career Planning (right), helps students plan for the future “A resume is a poster or word pic- ture of oneself,” said Rosenlof. “Resumes need to be well organized, attract the readers attention, plus give the reader an impression of a well-round- ed individual.” Rosenlof said, “Resumes are almost as necessary as a driver’s li- cense.” What should or should not be in- cluded in a resume? How long should it be? Should it be professionally written? Rosenlof tackled these and other ques- tions during the resume workshop, taught twice each semester along with status. This is now taboo, according to Rosenlof. There have been many changes in the resume and it is appar- ently still changing. Every employer sees something dif- ferent in a resume. There is no way to predict exactly what will catch an em- ployer’s eye. There is always a gamble. You must write the resume to please yourself. However, the resume must also be organized effectively. Rosenlof said, “Resumes are almost as much a necessity as a driver’s license,” 12 ‘‘Resumes are more effective if they are not alone,” Enns said. “A supple- ment such as a cover letter greatly adds to a resume.” As with the resume, no one can write a cover letter for you. “Cover letters let individuals ad- dress or tailor themselves to a job,” Ro- senlof said. “A resume can be a door opener, but it needs to be precise and to the point. A resume needs to be able to be read through quickly and with ease as employers are looking through applica- tions. The cover letter may be more in depth.” Rosenlof suggested writing the let- ter just as if you were talking to the em- ployer. She said, “This is your chance to use sentences and paragraphs to say something about your- self.” Another opportuni- ty to impress your pro- spective employer will come from the image you convey upon your first meeting with the interviewer. “One important eti- quette item is the hand- shake, something that tells a lot about some- one,” Rosenlof said. When presenting yourself for the inter- view, have a neat, well- groomed, uncluttered look. Do not overdress for the area which you are applying. Look around and notice what people in the area are wearing. When buying a business suit buy con- servatively. Also, buy quality. A business suit can last up to five years because styles rarely change. The appearance of the suit can also be changed with the use of accessories. Nev- er let a salesclerk talk you into a suit you do not like. “A navy blue or dark grey suit and a white, oxford blue, or cream shirt are good interview combinations,” Rosenlof said. The money spent to look good will pay off in the long run. Rosenlof said, “Job searchers don’t always realize that a small amount of money is necessary to search for a job, whether it be purchasing an interview suit or a fee for an etiquette seminar.” Beside looking good, an applicant should know as much about the prospec- tive employer’s business as is known of the interview subject’s own skills and abilities. “One of the best ways to find out about a particular career is to conduct a career interview with a person who has the particular job in which one is interested,” Enns said. “Ask them questions and find out more about the actual job.” “Companies may ask questions about their compa- ny. Someone who is searching for a job, and will have an in- terview with a com- pany, should find out information about that company through the Vacan- cy Library,” Rosen- loff said. The Vacancy Library, located across the hall from the Counseling and Advising Center, lists the actual job Placement Center seminars offered at KSC each semester: - Discovering Your Interests - Exploring Your Options - Selecting a Major - Choosing a Career Special workshops offered for juniors and seniors: - The Resume - The Interview - Letter Writing - Dress for Success - Corporate Etiquette Jackie Rosenlof, director of placement vacancy in teaching, information on companies, federal government job in- formation and internships. In the Career Planning and Place- ment Office is located the Career Plan- ning Library. This library contains infor- mation on graduate school material and choosing a career. “Someone who is searching for a job also needs to remember, the first job is the time to make it or lose it. For most it is the first job without experience, in which one needs to be depenable and re- sponsible,” Enns said. .. . the first job is the time to make it or lose it. ” — Enns College should prepare you in as many ways possible for life after gradua- tion. However, there is a certain amount of work required to become a success that college can not dictate to students. In certain areas the college can only ad- vise, this is what the Counseling and Ad- vising Center was created for.

His current project began May, 1987. The project asks, ‘‘What effect do bridges have on the channels and islands in the Platte River?” “We know that the Plate has shrunk and has a reduced flow,” Becker said. “But we don’t really know why.” Of these six variables, only bridge construction has not been researched as to its effect on Platte River. “Sometimes science is blind,” Becker said. “1 can’t find where anyone focused a study on bridges that went in before they stabi- lized the banks. Before they diverted it — they had to cross it!” The actual question popped into Becker’s mind “quite by accident” after a previous research project in 1986. The 1986 project, funded by Central Platte Natural Resources District (NRD) and the Research Services Coun- cil, involved making detailed maps of the Platte River in Dawson, Buffalo and Hall counties. By using infrared ariel photos from 1976 to 1985 of the Platte supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Platte River Whooping Crane Trust, Becker and his assistant, Barbara Fis- kopp, drew maps of the Platte. Tbese infrared photos were also transposed on grid maps, which allowed the researchers to compare the changes in island and water area of the river. As an experiment, Fiskopp scaled the percentages of the changes of the 10- year period on a graph that ranged from west to east. She took the graph to Beck- er. They noticed that the river changed more dramatically in the west than the east. Becker then added the number of bridges to the appropriate places from the west to the east and observed that more bridges were pres- ent in the eastern part of the 112-mile area. No one told Fis- kopp to make the graph, Becker said. “If she wouldn’t have made it, I would have never __________________ asked the question.” Becker went to Central Platte NRD with the proposal and received $5,000 backing for his research. Already loaded with information from the previous proj- ect which is the only long-term accumu- lation of Platte River data, Becker plans U 1 think that is why we are successful... we deliv- er ahead of time.” —Becker to go even further.

This information will be used to simulate the river on the computer and further study came be made with simu- lated bridge construction and changes to find what these changes on Nebraska’s greatest resource will mean in the future. “The more information that we ac- cumulate, the better. Then we can allow maximum benefit and economic growth without destroying the river,” Becker said. “I want my grandchildren to enjoy the river as much as I do.” Becker has the personal satisfaction of knowing that his work will contribute to the preservation and utiliz- ation of the Platte Riv- er. “Our deadline is April 30, 1988. We’ll be _______________ done before then. I’ve never yet taken all the time alloted for a project,” Becker said. “I think is why we are successful... we deliver ahead of time.” And, he’s already asking two other questions which will mean even more re- search ... Pam Wood BE3fi 15 ■ 1 Hi Star « D ropping out of college. This is one thought that I am al- most certain has crossed all of our minds at one time or another. But why? Why did you feel that it might be necessary to drop out of col- lege, You might say that you needed to regain your sanity or cope with your high blood pressure or better yet, you just needed to relieve yourself of ail this stressWl Do these reasons sound all too famil- iar? Why, when most of us are so young, energetic and ambitious (we are going to college, aren’t we?) do we get ourselves into these situations? These are deep and complex ques- tions. I certainly don’t have all the an- swers but I can offer one theory: we have all felt like dropping out of college as a result of, whether directly or indirectly, our own self-concept. This may sound absurd or even ri- diculous, but it’s true. “Human behavior is always a product of how people see themselves and the situations they are involved in,” This quotation is more complex than the few words it was writ- ten in. It was taken from a textbook called “Helping Relationships” by Ar- thur W. Coombs, Donald L. Avila and William W. Purkey. By reading different concepts and philosophies from this text, I was able to understand that quotation in a new light. In order to help you understand the full meaning of the quotation along with the complexity of self-concept, we need to first look at the definition of “self-con- cept” as listed in “Helping Relation- ships”. “The self-concept includes all those aspects to which we refer when we say T or ‘me’. It is the organization of percep- tions about seif that seems to the indi- vidual to be who he or she is.” One idea we must remember about our self-concept, however, is that some- how it is developed by how we think others see us. “I think it’s so wrapped up in our relationships with other people,” said Kent Estes, chairman and assistant professor, department of counseling and educational psychology at KSC. Estes goes on to say that self-con- cept is determined by how you are treat- ed by those important to you. One phrase that Estes mentioned explains how de- pendent our self-concept is in relation to those who are important to us in our lives. “I’m not who you think I am. I’m not who I think I am. I am who I think you think I am,” he said, If our self-concept is so dependent upon what others think of us, where do we draw the line? Do we care what every- one thinks of us? For most of us, the answer is no. Most of us just care about what certain people think of us. Who are these certain few? Are they the people who are a part of our closest relationships? Maybe, but not always. The people we want to impress or please are those who are the most important to us. What these “important” people think of us is what can either make us or break us. How do we decide who is and who isn’t important to us then? That is one question I have yet to find a complete an- swer to. The explanation “Helping Rela- tionships” gives involving human rela- tionships is that “persons are primarily social animals, and they derive their most crucial self-concepts from experi- ences with other people.” The text goes on to say, “From these interactions people learn that they are liked or unliked; acceptable or unaccept- able; successes or failures; respectable or of no account. We learn very little from ffrWlhe first person you must - ■ sell an idea to is yourself. ” — Estes unimportant people even if they are teachers, parents, social workers, coun- selors, priests, or rabbis. Only the person the individual considers significant has much effect on the self-concept.” It is not only the words, advice, or criticism of the important people in an individual’s life that make the total pic- ture. Other factors also have significant effects. Body language and nonverbal communication play important roles in developing an individual's self-concept. To say you are concerned is a lot dif- ferent than showing concern just as say- ing you love someone is a lot different than proving you love someone. This same idea holds true when molding an individual’s self-concept. They have to feel what those important individuals are saying before the words hold any meaning. Words aren't enough, feelings Kent Estes: Chairman and Assistant Professor of Counseling and Educational Psychology must also be involved in communication. According to “Helping Relation- ships,” “The effect of words does not lie in what is said, but how it is interpreted by the hearer.” This is an important factor to re- member when analyzing how individuals develop the self-concept they have of themselves in relation to how those im- portant to the individuals actually com- municated to them. “Helping Relationships” also asso- ciated this same idea with parents and their children. “A parent who scolds a child for not doing well in school may do so with the best of intentions, hoping to motivate the child to greater effort. To the child the meaning of this event may only be that he is stupid, unacceptable, or not much good.” It is not just one of these events, however, that determines an individual’s self-concept. Self-concept is developed through a series of these events. They must happen over and over again in or- der to have a lasting impact upon how the individual views him or herself. Dr Fritz Redl, a co-author of “Children Who Hate” spoke on the slow development of an individual's feelings about self during a lecture he gave re- cently on juvenile delinquency. “It takes 14 years to make a good delinquent; be- fore that you can't be sure you have one. To make a good delinquent everything has to go wrong, not once, but over and 17 over again. The home has to go wrong, the church has to go wrong, the commu- nity has to go wrong, his friends have to let him down, not once, but over and over again. They have to make a habit of it! Then, after 14 years of that you may have a good delinquent.” Unlike the concepts introduced by Sigmund Freud which suggest that self- concept is primarily a product of the dra- matic events that have happened to an individual while growing up, “Helping Relationships” suggests a different theory. “We now understand that the most important changes in the self-con- cept probably occur only as a conse- quence of many experiences repeated over long periods of time. The little day- -to-day events repeatedly chipping away at an individual’s feelings produce the most pervasive effects on the self. A child To make a good delinquent - ■ everything has to go wrongf not once, but over and over again, ” -Redl learns that he is acceptable or unaccept- able - not so much from dramatic events as from thousands of little everyday nuances of attitude and feelings picked up from those about him.” How one sees him or herself is what determines attitudes and behaviors. This is why self-concept is so very impor- tant. Marvin S. Spracklen, professor of counseling and educational psychology, talked of the importance of self-concept in relation to applying for a job. When applying for a job, the main objective, of course, is to present yourself as an “okay” person. The problem with this objective, said Spracklen, “is the first person you must sell that idea to is your- self.” Finding a job after college is a big concern for a majority of students and yet there are other students who don’t seem to worry about this at all. Is this yet another problem that can be associated with self-concept? Spracklen presents a similiar idea, “Maybe there is a relation- ship between self-esteem and how you perceive your personal power.” If we don’t have a lot of self-esteem, does that mean we’re doomed? No, of course not. Self-concept is something we all learn through the process of growing, so who is to say that we stopped growing and that the self-concept that we have of ourselves now is going to always stay the same? No one can tell you this; you must decide this for yourself. Changing important ideas and per- ceptions about yourself and your life does take time and is rarely accom- plished quickly. The most important thing to remember is that it can be done. “Helping Relationships” suggests learning to see old experiences in a new and different light. Try using “insight” to help you learn from the past rather than dwelling on it. “Life is not revers- ible; every experience a person has is for- ever. One cannot unexperience what has happened! Every experience of signifi- cant interaction has its impact upon those who were involved in it.” The text states, “Change, to be sure, is more rapid in the less important as- pects of self; but learning goes on contin- uously and even the central aspects of the self-concept may change as a conse- quence of experience over the years.” See, there is hope after all! You can be anything you want to be; you only need to believe in yourself. KfmKuMen Marvin Spracklen: protestor of Counseling and Educational Psychology Department, CASTING BLAME “In the February 1987 issue of Psychology Today, Robert Trotter profiled psychologist Martin E. P, Seligman. Seligman believes the way we explain bad events in our lives can affect future behavior and can have serious implications for mental and physical health. Sometimes, people suffering from depression feel a helpless- ness. Often this feeling is due to ex- posure to uncontrollable bad events, but not always, according to Seligman. Occurrence of bad events doesn't always lead to helplessness and depression because people don’t simply accept these events critically. The answer, or explanta- tion, for these events affects the person's expectation of the future and determines the extentent to which they will be helpless or de- pressed, he said. Researchers have found that the way children explain their per- formance strongly influences whether they give up following a failure or persist to succeed. Seligman said some people fight against stressors while others gee stressors as uncontrollable and react with helplessness and passivi- ty, Those with a more pessimistic view are more likely to have poor health and suffer from depression than those with a more optimistic outlook. There is a cure for what the doctor calls explanatory style, “If you can learn it, you can unlearn it 1 Seligman said. By changing the outlook and Ihe way in which one explains a bad event, through realization of how one perceives bad events, an indi- vidual will be able to alter his or her perspective to an optimistic one. When bad things happen, Seligman said people should look for other causes of the events rather then blaming themselves. This will re- sult in a better mental and physical health of the individual. is FOOD Can A Drug BULIMIA HAS A VERY SERI- OUS EFFECT ON KSC ... What is a food obsession? Do you have a secret ad- diction to food that ac- tually dominates your life? What is being described as bulimic? Bulimia is a psychological and emo- tional disorder characterized by repeat- ed overeating binges followed by purges of forced vomiting, prolonged fasting, or abuse of laxatives, enemas or diuretics. Gloria Tye, director of student health services, said there are approxi- mately eight or nine students on the KSC campus with either bulimia or an- orexia. Tye added these numbers reflect only those who have stepped forward and are looking for help. “I’m sure there are bulimics and anorectics we aren’t aware of it too, or that go for treatment somewhere other than student health,” said Tye. This disease has a very serious effect on KSC. “People tend to imitate the be- havior of those around them, especially the binging and purging. Often suite- mates and roommates imitate each oth- er,” Tye said. “It is a stressful time for the bulimic, especially emotionally. The energy that they use to binge and purge could be channelled into something more productive. Also, the amount of money spent is stressful for many, added Tye. She said, “I knew of one girl with bu- limia who would drive to all fast food places in Kearney that had a drive-up window and ordered something from ev- ery one. Usually ordering a burger, fries, and a shake or malt. This lasted about one hour, then she would go home to purge.” The causes of bulimia are numerous starting with an obsession to be thin caused by our culture, Tye said. Child- hood conflicts and even heredity can play a part. There are more women bulimics than men. TV media and magazines po- tray women to be thin and shapely. The types of men that tend to be bulimics are dancers, wrestlers and jockeys. These men try to keep their weight down for a specific reason. These are psychological problems on the inside but the affected girls seem to be independent and confident on the outside, Tye noted. They are usually girls coming from white middle-to-upper class families and considered to be the ideal children. The girls are often perfec- tionists with grades nearing 4.0. Bulimics are people pleasers. “They feel that food is a good girls drug,” Tye said. Bulimia can be detected by others through observation. Bulimics tend to have a compulsion with exercise and or habits. They eat huge qualities of food and sometimes withdraw. Withdrawal indicates they are binging and purging. “Bulimics will vomit in places they think people won’t notice: wastebaskets, laundry chutes and sinks. Friends or family members should watch carefully, especially in the bathroom, for vomit that wasn’t cleaned up well. Comfort the person in a kind and loving manner and get them help immediately,” said Tye. Health risks include a chemical im- balance due to vomiting, diuretics and laxatives, cavity proneness from vomit knew of one girl with bu- - ■ limia who would drive to all fast food places in Kearney that had a drive-up window and order something from every one. ” -Tye and the huge amounts of food devoured, and sometimes cases of amenorrhea, which is absence of menstruation. The difference between anorexia and bulimia is the anorectic loses a sub- stantial amount of weight and will usual- ly eat only one banana per day. The Gloria Tye, director of student health services, helps students with health problems such a bulimia. 19 bulimic has no extreme weight gain or loss, but the weight stays constant, they will sometimes eat 40,000 calories in one day That amount is what a normal per- son would eat in three weeks. The bulim- ic is trying to lose weight. Anorexia is more serious because it is life threaten- ing. Starvation is the most common way an anoretic will die, Tye said. ullimia is nothing to be J—J ashamed of. Go for help because recovery is possible, but realize that therapy is an ongoing process. ” — Tye Bulimia can be treated with in- house treatment or on an out-patient ba- sis. The in-house treatment is when the bulimic stays in the hospital and has a nurse with them constantly. All waste- baskets and other items that a bulimic attempts to use to throw up in are re- moved from the room. Bars are put on the windows so they can not vomit out the window. The patient sees a nutrition- ist, psychologist and a psychotherapist. BULIMIA WARNING SIGNS; Compulsion with exercise Eating huge amounts of food Withdrawal A team effort is used to help bulimies re- cover. The sooner a bulimic goes for help the easier and faster they are to treat. Tye added, “Bulimia is nothing to be ashamed of. Go for help because re- cover is possible, but realize that therapy is an on-going process.” The success rate is getting better, she added. Many places have support groups which are important in the recov- ery of a bulimic. The family goes through therapy, too, which helps give support to the bulimic. KSC has had a support group in the past that has been success- ful. It usually starts in the fall as a need is seen for it, Tye said. The hope for a bulimic is for her to realize that the success rate is good for recovery. With the proper help and sup- portive family and friends, it can be over- come. JAN OVERCOMES BULIMIA ... Jan (Jan is an anonymous name for the girl this story is about) overcame bulimia, an eating disorder, by realizing that the abuse to her body could kill her. As a senior in high school, Jan be- came obsessed with weight control. Hav- ing others notice her weight loss was her way of getting attention that she didn’t receive at home. Jan’s first semester at KSC was the first time she had been away from home. For her, KSC was a relief; she felt inde- pendent. Her desire for “the perfect body” was fun. She lost weight easily. As a dancer, Jan felt she needed to watch her weight. Jan and a friend decided to have contests to see who could lose five pounds faster, then 10 pounds and so on. She knew she could do it. Then her weight plummeted at 100 pounds. No one suspected Jan to be a bulim- ic because she was so secretive. Another of Jan’s friends was anorec- tic. They confided in each other, sharing new and different ways to binge, purge and starve themselves, Jan’s obsession with weight control and exercise began to take control of her life, as did laxatives. She couldn’t go out after she had just taken 30 laxatives. She isolated herself from her other friends. Depression took over and Jan realized she was abusing her body. She knew if she kept up this ucrazy” way of losing weight, she could kill herself. At this point, death wasn’t in the picture. She went to the Student Health Department of KSC to get help; they re- ferred her to Counseling and Advising, also of KSC. They tried to help her, but sometimes Jan refused help. She was tir- ed of always being sick and weak. One day Jan became overly de- pressed and decided that things were never going to get better and she wanted to die. She cleaned up her apartment, got out a razor blade, and deliberated for 10 hours on whether or not to try suicide. Finally, she slit her wrists. She watched herself bleed, first rapidly, then she started to feel weak. At this time the bleeding stopped. Jan panicked, “Will I die?1’ She called a teacher from the college whom she had confided in. She asked the teacher to take her to the hospital. Jan was in the Good Sa- maritan Hospital for one week. Her par- ents did not know. After her stay in the hospital, she went back to her apartment and tried to resume a regular lifestyle. Her binging and purging began again. As her counselors saw Jan getting worse, they took the problem to higher authorities who then called her parents. The counselors notified them of Jan's condition then suggested they take her home. As Jan was walking home from classes during the week, she saw her par- ents’ vehicle on the KSC grounds. She knew something was wrong because her parents lived 500 miles away. Jan received a telephone call that same day after she had returned home from school, asking her to come back to campus. When she returned, school officials and her parents were waiting. The school officials suggested taking her to the Uni- versity Medical Center in Omaha. Upon returning home her parents thought the notion of taking her to the Medical Center was crazy, so they hired a psychiatrist. Jan saw the doctor quite often, but never really opened up to him. She couldn’t come back to KSC without a doctor’s permission slip. Jan manipulated and lied to the doctor and to herself. All Jan wanted was to return to KSC. The doctor put her on anti-depressant medication. She took them once every day. She began to hate them for two rea- sons: first, they made her gain 45 pounds. Secondly, they were expensive—$100 per month. The doctor told Jan she would have to take these pills the rest of her life. Jan got what she wanted, which was to come back to KSC. The cycle began again — binge, purge, binge, purge. She wanted to lose 45 pounds but Jan knew she didn’t want to abuse her body any- 20 more. Finally Jan admitted herself to the University Medical Center. Jan knew she could get the professional help she needed at the center. Jan’s parents were not supportive of her decision because as she said, ‘‘They just thought all I needed was a swift kick in the butt; not psychiatric help.” “The in-patient treatment was the best thing I’ve done in my life,” said Jan, Even though I went cold turkey.” At the beginning of her stay in the hospital, bathrooms were unlocked. If she needed to use them, however, there was one stipulation — you could not flush until a nurse checked to make sure there was no vomit. The one hour for exercise was not enough for Jan who was used to three hours in the morning and on-and-off ex- ercise during the evening for about two hours. She exercised whenever she could, without permission. Jan said, “I learned to eat three meals per day plus a snack, which was usually an apple, and 1 lost 25 pounds right off the bat.” Therapy consisted of her own doc- tor, who worked with her on a one-on- one basis and in group therapy. In group therapy, there were bulimics, anorectics, and bulimarexics (a combination of the other disorders). Patients shared their stories with each other and offered sup- port while doctors were present. A nutritionist also worked with her. She was taught which foods to eat to lead a healthy life. Jan began to realize that she could overcome her problem and that was what she had wanted all along. Family therapy was another option, but Jan decided against that since her family did not support her choice of treatment, “Those four months at the Medical Center were longer than most stays,” said Jan. She left Omaha in January 1985 to come back to school. “I had promised ray doctors at the Medical Center that I would keep my weight at 120 pounds. That is the ideal weight for someone my size,” Jan said. Therapy continued at KSC, she needed to meet with someone twice a month. She met with a professor of psy- chology until she felt he was no longer helping her. She began to confide and talk to her boyfriend. Jan’s feelings about bulimia have changed her life because she realized she was hurting herself. She now knows what she needs to eat and what to do to stay healthy. “I still have trouble with my weight. 1 always think I’m too fat. My doctors told me that those feelings would never go away,” said Jan, Friends did not seem to support Jan like she needed. She now feels like the anorectic friend and she together was “the worst thing for both of us.” Jan says that she’s never relapsed back into the former binge, purge behav- ior after going to treatment. During her six-to-seven years of bulimic behavior, she remembers some times being worse than others. Jan still worries about her weight and sometimes she panics if she eats too much. She feels like she can overcome her jittery feelings if she doesn’t stuff herself. “Another thing I stay away from is the junk foods like ice cream and pizza. Those were my binge foods and if I eat a little of those foods, I feel guilty. I really try to stay away from them,” said Jan. Jan’s weight has stabilized at 120 pounds and she tries to maintain that by eating healthy foods and doing some ex- ercise. Jan looks back on her “few bad years” as a learning experience that liter- ally saved her life. She puts into practice many of the ideals taught to her at the medical center. She tells herself one pos- itive thing every day. Today, Jan is married and her hus- band is her strongest source of support. He helps Jan through her “bad days” and with her panic attacks. With no binge and purging behavior in three years, Jan said she needed to re- read her journals of her bulimic years to refresh her memory of that time. She said, “As I was looking over my journals that I wrote in every day, I realized just how crazy I really was.” Jan is now a graduate student at KSC, with many memories behind her. Proving to herself that she can do any- thing she puts her mind to, Jan has set her goals for the future. Good Luck Jan!!! Helping those who are willing to help themselves Connie Rol of Counseling and Advising says to help a person with an eating disorder, you need to ask two questions. First, who are you living your life for? Second, what are you feeling right now? “Everyone needs to realize that if you have a problem, any kind, help is only a phone call away. Call someone and talk about it, a counselor, friend or doctor,” said Rol. To help someone with an eating disorder problem, Rol said, “Confront him or her using T feel... ’ or ‘because ... Someone can never deny you of how you feel. No one can help a bulimic or anorectic until he or she admits that he has a problem. Once it’s admitted, be there for him, make yourself available; let your friend or relative lean on you, Rol advised. “If your roommate is bulimic and gets an urge to binge at 2 a.m. make sure the person knows that she can wake you up and either talk about it or go for a walk,” said Rol. If the bulimic is in control of the problem, she could go for treatment on an out-patient basis. If the problem controls her, treatment should be in-house to assure a full recovery. Rol suggests that one never drag a friend or roommate in for help if she hasn’t admitted she has a problem. If she has admitted to it get her medical attention immediately. “Would you rather have a mad friend or a dead friend?” Rol concluded. nrswn Dufeft Dugst-Burkey §23u Holdreee Citizen S P o R S BICYCLE TREK FOR PRIDE A 47-year-old Holdrege bowl- ing alley owner began exten- sive training for a bicycle trek across America in Janu- ary, 1987 at KSC’s Human Performance lab under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Donnelly. After five months of physical and mental conditioning, Vern Hasty began the 7,717 mile-long trip. According to Hasty, he set his goals to promote patrio- “Ijust want them to yell for the flag .. ” -Hasty tism and to salute America’s true heroes, the veterans. “I wanted to be heard,” Hasty said. “The older I got, the more I saw how peo- ple didn’t respect the national anthem or the flag as much as they did before.” Hasty referred to the Nebraska football games in Memorial Stadium. “People yell and cheer as the football team comes on the field, but not when the flag comes out. I just want them to yell for the flag as much as for the team.” A smaller version of the American flag fluttered behind Hasty as he started his trip on Memorial Day accompanied by his wife driving their white van. The flag followed him through 48 states during the three-month ride. In each state, Hasty presented a miniature flag to various in- dividuals. Of those who re- ceived a flag, many were veterans who had served in the military or families of de- ceased war he- roes. He also gave one to Billy Carter in Georgia and sent on to Sen. Barry Goldwater in Ari- zona. Also a Kansas mechanic and a Mis- sissippi black family received flags as Hasty passed, spreading his message of patriotism throughout America. Hasty rode either his 12-speed or 18- speed bicycle on the trip, “Sometimes, I had to steal parts from one to get me to the next town,” he said. During the trip, Hasty fixed five rear rims and changed Holdrege Citizen The KSC performance Jab helped Hasty prepare for the trek across America. nine tires suffering from blow-outs or flats. He endured other frustrations as 22 well. In New Mexico, he contracted a virus that slowed him down for three days. In northern California on Highway 395, fast moving traffic forced him off the road five or six times. “That was the most danger- ous part of the trip,” he said. High wind in Oklahoma and rain in Kansas made riding miserable. Hasty re- lied upon the military discipline instilled in him during a two-year Army stint in Ger- many to keep him go- ing. Also, a photo perched on his han- dlebars of his Marine son reminded him of the servicemen in the armed forces. Hasty believes that every young per- son should enlist in the service to learn discipline and patriotism, “Having to lis- Sometimes, I had to steal parts from one to get me to the next town, ■Hasty ten to taps, and to salute the flag would make America 100 percent better,” he said. As he traveled through America, he felt that the only people who really un- derstood his message of patriotism were the veterans. Everyone cheered him on, but the vets really supported his mission, he said. Hasty and his wife met many help- ful Americans. Farmers and truck driv- ers stopped to ask Mrs. Hasty if she needed any help as she waited along the road three to five miles ahead. During the trip, Mrs. Hasty recorded statistics in a diary. She wrote down everything that Hasty ate, measured amounts of wa- ter, miles ridden each day, and names and places. ---------- The Hastys borrowed between Hasty certainly proved his dedication. $12,000 and $15,000 for the adventure. They returned to Holdrege with only $30 in their pockets and their two credit cards charged to the limit. “I’ll be paying for the trip for a long time,” Hasty said. “But, the trip was a success. I’m more confident of myself be- cause of it. And, I spread my message throughout the country.” Hasty continues to spread his message. He speaks to school children at assemblies about his trip and the reasons be- hind it. He encourages young people to consider the armed forces to learn discipline before attend- ing college. He is planning yet an- other bike ride to Wash- ington to present a flag to President Reagan as soon as he gets through “the bureaucratic red tape.” He wasn’t al- lowed to give the Presi- dent a flag when he fin- ished his trip this past summer on August 30 in Washington, D.C. “But, I won’t give up,” he said, “This is something I want to do. People need to know about patrio- tism.” While Hasty plans his next ride and rounds up financial assistance through sponsors, his bike waits in its promi- nent place by the front entrance to “Hasty Lanes.” The tattered photo of the Hasty’s son remains on the handle- bars and the faded flag hangs limply on its rod waiting for the breezes of America to flow through it once more.

Darrell Ritenour, North Bend, splats the mud ball while Tim Soto, Wood River, and Jodi Kinder, Papillion, stay clean ? IT’S A DIRTY GAME INTRAMURAL SPORT PROVES TO BE FUN AND EXCITING ... AND DIRTY! Mud volleyball has consis- tently attracted KSC students for over five years. According to Irma Odell, intramural director for KSC, the sport is extremely popular. There were 30 teams last fall and the sport seems to be increasing in populari- ty every year. One volleyball pit may not be enough to accommodate the demand in the future. Odell has hopes of expan- ding, “We would like to move to a new location with more pits, but the problem lies in the availability of water ’ she ex- plained. The current location of the KSC mud volleyball court is a landfill north of College Drive near West Campus. The physical plant maintains the pit by dig- ging it out every year and refilling it with 9 to 10 thousand gallons of water chan- nelled from a nearby canal. Any group or organization may par- ticipate in the program by paying a $10 entrance fee. The rules are not much dif- ferent than traditional volleyball, ac- cording to Bob McDonald, referee and supervisor for the sport. Some exceptions. One girl has to hit the ball at least one time before it goes over the net, the boundries are the land and water, and there is a 15 minute time limit on each game. “However,” McDonald says, “I give them lots of time and I let them go over if they are close to winning at 15 points.” KSC owns and runs the courts. Nev- ertheless, the students are liable for themselves and all injuries. Odell said there have never been any serious acci- dents. “Of course, the players usually get scrapes and scratches, but that usually occurs after the game is over and they are just playing around in the pit,” she ex- plained. 24 Scot Rosendahl, Creston, makes Kris Krajicek, Gretna, eat dirt near Jodi Kinder, Papillion. much work. How hard can it be?” Well let me tell you! I am usually a fairly decent server. Nevertheless, the ball flew into the air and bounced off the net back to me and splashed me with the thick mud water. I dove for the ball and slipped, the water was up to my waist now. We lost the point. Come to think of it, we lost a lot of points. I stepped into my next playing position and fell six inches deeper than my last position. The uneven ground under the unknown blackness of the water was not a very sturdy base! A friend wanted to get into the game. I tagged out. I lost my footing getting out of the pit and took along the person who was helping me. My shoes were full of muddy and sticky debris. I was done for this game. We lost to the understaffed “Mud hens.” They also beat us the following game which only allowed us to fall on our faces a couple of more times. After all of the “fun” was over, I got a chance to talk to some of the players. Mindy Duhlgren, 18 and a freshman from Gibbon, really enjoyed her first ex- perience in mud volleyball. “It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, but I did think I would get muddier!” Doug Falk, 18, a freshman from Al- bion, said he had expected more mud and less water. All in all, it wasn’t quite what was expected but we all had a great time! Pam Kenkel Sandra Larson, North Platte endorsing her new line of mud bathes for college students! After digging through my drawers for about five minutes I found what I was looking for. My official team uniform for the 1987 KSC mud volley- ball league; grey (once white) socks, shorts, shoes and a shirt. My teammates came to get me. They were wearing their nice leather sneakers, favorite sweatshirts and still salvageable sweats. “Wrong!” I told them. “Those clothes will never be the same color again! Go change.” After some of their own drawer dig- ging, they too are dressed in appropriate attire. The males that made up the other half of our team, called the “Killer Pigs,” picked us up in a pick-up truck. We were off to our first game. Making it up the hill to the court was a feat. This explained the need for the four-wheel drive pick- «T t wasn yt as bad as I thought -I- it would be.” -Mindy Duhlgren up. I volunteered to play in the first of two out of three games. The court wasn’t filled yet. A pipe was channeling run-off water from the nearby canal to fill the 30X60 foot space which was our court. I stepped in, shoes and all, and sank about three inches into the grimy, rocky mud. The dirt-filled water came up to my calves or past my knees, depending upon what position I was in on the court. “I guess I’m ready to start the game,” I thought. “Wait! The other side only had four players compared to my team’s six. Looks like I won’t have to do 25 I “IS YOUR LAND” Out of concern for the Ameri- can farmer 69,000 tickets for the Farm Aid IJI concert, held in Lincoln this fall, went on sale more than a month in ad- vance. Advance ticket sales apparently were to cover the estimated cost of actu- ally putting on the show. The show was aired as a telethon. The cash value of a ticket to Farm Aid III was diminished a few days before the date of the concert by the release of 2,000 more tickets for sale by Farm Aid International. This extinguished all profit-scalping hopes and made the con- cert a true charity event. Those who had tickets to sell could be found selling for prices as low as $5. Prices were rumored, however, to be more expensive out of state for those who had not ordered tickets when they first went on sale. Even though the concert was not a sell-out, concert crowds en- countered tight quarters as an estimated 10,000 fans herded onto the tarp-covered Husker stadium. urp wo men from Denver were J- the first in line. ” “Sunday World-Herald The 70,000 spectators attending Farm Aid began lining up before 8 a.m. This was unexpected as officials had an- nounced earlier that 8 a.m. was to be the designated hour to begin the lines. Due possibly to this announcement most of the number stayed away until later in the day which made standing in the morning line somewhat more tolerable. According to the Sunday Omaha World-Herald, two men from Denver were the first in line. They airived at 2 a.m. and sat outside the stadium drink- ing beer until the rest of the mob started to arrive. Later, due to the congestion outside the stadium, fans were allowed to enter 45 minutes earlier than the scheduled 10 a.m. opening. This delighted and sub- dued the crowd which was comprised mainly of tired and probably irritable people who had either undergone a big night on the town in Lincoln or had driv- en nearly all night to reach the concert. Upon entering the stadium, fans headed directly for the most treasured spots, directly in front of the revolving stage.

Those not so early could pay 810 for a hat later, T-shirts went for close to $20, depending upon the quality, design, or type desired. Another option, one might purchase a shirt from a man peddling them out of his backpack for $15. Other peddled items included soft drinks, Runzas, Kentucky Fried Chick- en, Little King sandwiches and various others. Lincoln’s Sunday Journal Star reported on the amount of food con- sumed at the concert; “150,000 soft drinks and 45,000 hotdogs.” If Fann Aid fans planned not to pay vender prices, they were allowed to take in sandwiches, a small quart-size ther- mos, a one-foot by one-foot cooler and most any other food they could carry ex- cept alcohol. Most attending were searched at the door (women’s purses exluded in most cases). These searches created numerous stories of interest to the collection of con- cert gossip. One man attempted, according to media reports after the concert, to con- ceal a fifth of whiskey as a submarine sandwhich. Other methods mentioned at the concert were plastic bags of liquor floating in water coolers. One of the most original at the scene was vodka in a con- tact lense solution bottle. The cans of soda not making it past the search gate (cans and glass bottles were banned for the day) were apparently donated to a lo- cal food bank. The charity event attracted a vari- ety of entertainers. Many of the entertainers adapted their songs to the Farm Aid cause. Arlo Guthrie, son of the famous Woody Guth- rie, adapted his hit, “Alice’s Restaurant” to create a sing-a-long with the audience. Other names which also drew partic- ipation from the crowd - Exile, Rita Coo- lidge, Bill Carter, Joe Walsh, John Kay and Steppenwolf, Lou Reed and John Prine. This order brought the show’s schedule up to the gospel finale with Wil- lie Nelson and his band. This finale marked the sign off of the Nashville net- work covering the first half of the con- cert. The second half, probably seen by more viewers, was filled with the Fabu- lous Thunderbirds, Neil Young, Kris Kristofferson, The Grateful Dead (via satellite from Madison Square Garden), John Cougar Mellencamp and a sched- uled “Ensemble Finale” with all the performers of Farm Aid III, Missed from the concert was Merle Haggard, who although listed on the pro- gram, was unable to appear because of illness. Earlier cancellations were an- nounced previous to the concert date by Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Bon Jovi and Michael Martin Murphy who was scheduled to give a concert in the Kear- ney area. Despite these absences and the Unique ways to conceal al- cohol: — hairspray bottles — film cases — fake binoculars — two-liter soda pop bottles (my personal favorite) — dug-out submarine sandwich buns — ice compartments of coolers — boda bags hopes and rumors that Bruce Spring- steen and or U-2 might appear just to surprise the faithful Farm Aid audience, the sound quality and concert manage- ment of the event was reported as the best in the series of concerts to benefit the farm cause.

This was just the token a crowd — tired but not quite ready to finish their experience at Farm Aid — had hoped for. The impression was left that the entertainers really did care. This was not just for publicity. This was real life, put on by and for real people. Angie Steffen BE36 After we checked to see if we had the necessary supplies — junk food, blankets, cool- er, camera and carefully concealed alcohol, we prepared to leave for Farm Aid III! As we entered the gates of Memorial Stadium, at noon, after a thorough checking from the guards, we could feel the excitement of the day’s fes- tivities in the air. We trudged miles and miles, sitting in every available seat, un- til we found a seat with a semi-decent view up in the nosebleed section! We then prepared ourselves for quite a show! First came Willie Nelson who, yes, once again is on the road. He put on a good performance then brought out his “Indian friends” who danced for the crowd in traditional Indian gear. Everyone was so hyped for the day to begin they couldn’t help but dance and sing along. Through the day we heard un- knowns like Boa Constrictor Betty, I A woman and child soak up rays and good vibrations. mean Rattlesnake Annie, and other vari- ous acts. One of the more popular groups was the Unforgiven. The days festivities went on and in between the good acts, we’re talking far in between, what seemed like over a hun- dred million people got a little restless. So to get the tension of the day’s events TTT e trudged for miles and VV miles, sitting in every available seat, until we found a seat with a semi-decent view up in the nosebleed section! We then prepared ourselves for quite a show! out of their system people resorted to the everlasting “Cornhusker” wave. To break the monotony, many drun- kards (by this time that included 3 4 of the crowd) amused themselves by toss- ing toilet paper, plastic Farm Aid III col- lecter’s edition-cups, and various other articles they had with them, for instance: bologna, chips, popcorn, bras, underwear and friends. By this time we were asked kindly by the billboard to stop because “people were getting hurt.” By late afternoon things were really starting to pick up when Steppenwolf sang “Born to Be Wild,” which really got the crowd on their feet. One thing that always boggles one’s mind is, “How come there is never a line at the men’s room but the women’s line circles the stadium at least three times?” Well, I and a bunch of women recruits decided to see for ourselves by storming the men’s bathroom. The men were not happy about this, by the time our idea caught on, there were more women in the bathroom than men. By this time, we decided to see what was happening up front. To get up front, you had to be able to worm your way through scads of people trying not to touch anyone because of the millions of communicable diseases. You also had to have the skill of stepping over people, 28 After which, Joe Walsh the forgetta- ble, I mean the unforgettable Joe Walsh, came back and sang his second number. Red-eyed, deaf and tired, not to mention a little hung-over, we walked back to our car and drove home. I am glad I was a part of this memo- rable event which was a good thing for the farmers who are the food suppliers of America (not to mention the great time I had).

Hey ladies, what is in those cups in your hands ?!! came on stage, the crowd waited in antic- ipation for John Cougar Mellencamp, or is it, John Cougar, or maybe, John Mel- lencamp? He was, by far, the best act and hammed it up to the fullest. His songs “Pink Houses” and “Small Town,” real- ly got the crowd hopping! The climax of an already unforget- table evening, the stadium boomed with a few hundred verses of “This land is your land,” and a brilliant, but blinding fireworks display. who had passed out and be able to see where you were going, (for us shorties that’s no small feat). The view once we got down on the ground was awesome — until your vision started to blur from the smell of marajuana. We soon decided to float back up to our seats because we didn’t like the thirsty-eyed looks we were getting from a couple of Hell’s Angels. By this time we were starving for real food Parafanalia tossed at Farm Aid III: — bras — underwear — bologna — plastic cups — hats (cowboy) — shirts — toilet paper — popcorn — friends enemies so we decided to get some popcorn from the boy who was selling it. Another crowd pleaser was the Fab lous Thunderbirds who really got the crowd yelling when he asked “How do you spell love? M-O-N-E-Y!” Joe Walsh was another favorite and people were just beginning to really look alive when the revolving stage started revolving even when he wasn’t done with his act. But he promised, “I’ll be back!” Then came live TV, which started off with once again Willie Nelson. As the crowd grew thicker and more intense, we were realizing that soon would be the close of another historical Farm Aid event. Kris Kristofferson entered the scene and sang on and on for what seemed an eternity of nothing. Each time a new act 29 4 FOR AMERICA’S FARMERS AND THE CUR- RENT AG ECONOMY. This Land WAS my land A REPORT ON WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS Imagine a farmer standing out in his field where once stood tall, green stalks of corn waiting for harvest. Now on the field, all of the farmer’s belongings except the clothes on his back, are being auctioned away so that he can pay his debts. His wife, standing beside him, clutches his hand as a tear drips down his worry-wrinkled face. For he is thinking: just at the time when he should be thinking of retirement, he has to start anew. Is it drama or real life? How often do you think this happens? Is the farm crisis really getting serious? What is the cause of these problems we are facing in Nebraska? Studies today now show that Nebraska farmland prices have increased slightly, and incomes have improved somewhat. But sev- eral farm experts say they are wor- ried of what lies ahead. Bruce Johnson, University of Nebraska associate professor of agri- cultural economics, said, “We’re still facing some hard adjustment. We’ve seen income improvement for many farm family operations. But 10 to 12 percent of farm families are extremely financially stressed. Many have left farming, and some may terminate.” Recently some farmers have depended on the government as a major source of income. But currently the government is in the process of eliminating farm programs which reduce subsi- dy payments to farmers, as said by Sen. David Karnes R-Neb. in The Sower - a farm publication. At the same time, other 3 x 5 G i O) c 3 countries subsidize grain more and market their crops at lower prices. Studies show that more than 90 percent of Nebraskan farmers depend on some government program. Last year gov- ernment supplied American farmers with $25.3 billion in price supports. Larry Hall, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union said, “Unless farmers begin to receive more money for their grain, low- ering government payments will devastate rural America.” Currently, the United States competes with other countries, such as Western Europe and Ja- pan to sell the cheapest grain. These countries pay more subsidy payments to their farmers, which makes their products more marketable than the United States’. Dale Anderson, UNL agricultural economics professor, said the fate of the agricultural economy lies with the survival of farm programs and an ability to export to other countries. Even with the farm economy looking in an upward shift, farmers experienced about a 50 percent decline in land values throughout the past several years. Farmland values have Unless farmers begin to receive more money for their grain, lowering govern ment payments will devastate rural Amer ica.” —Hal dropped from an average high of $635 in 1980 to an estimated $335 in 1987. Out of an estimated 60,000 farms in Nebras- ka, only two farms liquidated but 300 farmers declared bankruptcy. Today’s farm crisis developed as a result of rapid increases in land prices in the 1970s through 1981, and subsequent de- clines in land prices since then, according to UNL agricultural business reports. Debts mounted while farm- ers bought land as prices rose and they borrowed heavily to finance purchases, the report said. Farm products haven’t been high enough to cover their operating costs and meet their loan payments. Consequently, farm lenders incurred losses on the loans that farmers could not pay back. Land used as collateral for loans eroded by falling farmland prices, Nebraska ranks third in the nation as the state with the largest debt in com- parison to its overall asset value, Minneso- ta and Iowa rank first and second. As the farm crisis will continue to exist in our rural and local communities, lenders, bankers and farmers still suffer. As for whose to blame, many different factors are involved. But no matter whose fault it is, this country has to pull together to solve it. MMIn You think no one is looking and you do it You commit the ultimate college sin. You cheat. The teacher left the room for a minute and you catch a glance at your neighbor’s paper. Maybe you have a more sophisticated method such as memorizing answers from an old test or maybe the answers are written on your hand or a crib note, incriminating proof if you get caught! Is cheating a problem on KSC’s campus? According to an informal survey of students, it is not. Nonetheless, about half the students surveyed admitted to cheating. There are many reasons why a student may cheat, some- times for obvious reasons and sometimes not so obvious. The most co- rn on reason is to get a better grade, but some students admitted to being plain lazy. One student simply said, “It sure beats the heck out of studying!” Some students don’t keep up on assignments or had more important things to study for. Sam Reno, chairman of the Depart- ment of Business, said, “‘Sorae students feel that the system of grading is “unfair in their perception, and it is appropriate to circumvent the system procedures on exams.” Although it may seem human nature to get something for nothing, there can be serious consequences. It may be a fail- ing grade or more complex problems lat- er on in life. “It will eventually catch up with you,” says Thomas Magstadt, chairman of the Department of Political Science, “and if you are found out, people will doubt your honesty and integrity. You may lose your job or chance to run for a political of lice as happened to Joseph Biden,” One remedy to the situation would be the use of informers and Magstadt does not think this is the answer. “It de- pends on the integrity of the student and the willingness to play by the rules,” he says. “The acknowledgement of cheating itself can contribute to an increase in in- cidents.” There are many ways to commit the self-destructing deeds and instructors have ways of curbing the students appe- tite to cheat. Ail the faculty I spoke to agreed that numbering and changing the tests regularly and seating arrangements seem to be the best way to combat the problem. “We can’t create temptations by not doing these types of things,” Mag- stadt says, “but anything a professor hands back and says ‘you can keep this’ should be used to study from. It is up to the instructor to monitor that he doesn’t use that test or quiz again.” One student confessed that he received copies of exams from secretaries responsible for typ- ing them. Reno believes that tightening up on security in pre- paring exams in the office and having one person totally re- sponsible for security could less- en this type of cheating. In the English department are different types of cheating problems to deal with such as plagiarism. Dwight Adams, in- structor of English, said that al- though he is not aware of a cheating problem on KSC cam- pus, he admits it does happen. The most common type of cheating that does occur he says is unintentional plagiarism. “A ____ student is not aware of how to document information so there is a question of plagiarism.” Of the students that have never cheated, the most common reason is fear - fear of not knowing if the person sitting next to them knows anymore than they do themselves, fear of getting caught, and fear of embarrassment. Of the pro- fessors interviewed, all maintained that they have never cheated. Reno says, “I have enough of an ego in that I can complete my tasks as well ot better than those sitting next to me.” However, Magstadt said that he was tempted at times, but never gave into that temptation. Adams simply said, “No! Unequivocally no!” Well, there you have it. Cheating doesn’t seem to be any bigger problem at KSC than anywhere else, but the in- structors are aware of it and most stu- dents do not think the risk is worth tak- ing, or needed! a Pam Kenkel b m 32 rhc passage of time is art aspect of reality that remains uncontrollable Time will pass.

The best way for me to try to answer this question was by literal- ly getting into my work, and becoming one of them; a “couch potato.” I ven- tured to the third floor lounge, of Ludden Hall to see what the favorites were. The most popular rerun with most K$C students was M A S H .” Stu- dents said t hey enjoyed the show’s realis- tic view of the Korean war as well as the show’s humorous side.

Most younger people of today are interested in what life was like in their parents’ days. The Andy Griffith Show” was in a league all by itself. It provided a funny way of looking back and showing the younger viewers a type of small-town law en- forcement. in the late 1950s and 1960, The show gave a broad idea of how things were accomplished and how the sher- iff of that day might go about his business. Whatever happened to the good old shows that used to be on? Where did shows like‘Daffy Duck ‘Bugs Runny,’ ‘The FI hits - tones,’ and the ‘Road Runner’ go?” These questions were asked by numer- ous interviewed students.

Today and everyday our nation is growing. And as our nation grows, our 50 w people grow with il (including our chil- dren). Our economy is growing rapidly everyday. It is more or less turning into a mechanical nation. This is our coun- try's “Technological Era.” Things are being developed and invented every day. New ways and means of doing things anti getting things done. The television industry has to grow just like all the others. It’s putting out new shows that try and relate to the grow- ing world. The “good old shows” are great, but the television industry has to grow with the rest of the nation. It has to keep up with the competition. “They’re so funny. Traditional shows have nothing to do with the real world.

It takes your mind away from every- thing else going on around you for a while. Not too many television pro- grams can do that, agreed students, Parriott and Engler. Not many of the new programs can do what the older ones seemed to. They don't always seem to have a mes- sage to them. To teach something or to get an important issue across, it seems like the “good old shows” are where it’s at. Well, as far as KSC students are concerned. Kim Schmidt Iran CAMPUS FEEL THE EXCITEMENT ON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH KSC’S OWN FIVE-0 ... Campus Security.” “We need you guys over here at CTW. There’s a mob of fraternity guys running though the halls.” “Be right there!” Three uniformed men jumped into action. One grabbed the mobile phone and hung it on his belt Anoth- er grabbed the keys to the door and stuffed them in his pock- et. The other asked, “Do you want to go?” as he strode out the door. “Yes,” I said to the retrea- ting form. I had to run to get into the security car before they left. “It’s 8:15. They are start- ing early tonight,” Officer Jim Fosket said, as he recorded the call on the log in the car. Officer Paul Mengel, the driver, turned the corner so fast that I leaned into Officer Brian Giles, who was sharing the back seat with me. Within a minute after the call, we arrived at the Centen- nial Towers. A group of Fra- ternity brothers ran into the east tower complex. Officers U Fosket and Giles and myself followed into CTE and Officer Mengel jogged to CTW. It was like a rerun of “Cagney and Lacey,” only this time “Fosket and Giles” split up to cover the elevator and the stairs. Giles returned to say that the elevator had stopped on the second floor. We ran the steps two at a time to reach the sec- ond floor. Chants of “PAR- ---------------- TEE! PAR-TEE! PAR-TEE!” Filled the halls, as we walked swiftly down the twisting and turning corridors of CTE. As we passed the elevator, the door opened and six guys jostled out, laughing and chanting. When Officer Fosket sternly said, “Gentlemen! HALT!” the noise died down. “If you gentlemen are going to be here, you will behave in an orderly fash- ion. What are you doing in here?” The young man in the lead of the group said, “I’m looking for my girl friend’s room.” “Let’s keep it down,” Fosket told them. We returned to the security car to find Officer Mengel who had encoun- students head home on Friday, so Thurs- day is party night ” —Davis tered a mob of 60 pouring out of the door of CTW. “I asked who was in charge, and they all chanted, ‘Sig Ep! Sig Ep!’ so I talked to the loudest one and asked him to break it up and to leave the area if they didn’t want any trouble,” Mengel said. So began a Thursday night during the second week of fall semester. Thurs- day nights are the busiest for the KSC Campus Security Force, according to security director, Bill Davis. “Most stu- dents head home on Friday, so Thursday is the school party night.” The beginning of any semester is also the busiest. Davis said, “during the first few weeks of school, there is no pres- sure to go to classes. Then during the last weeks, the students realize that they bet- ter get with it and settle down.” According to Officer Fosket, the busiest time of the night in campus is around dusk. “If you cram three to four thousand people in a four-block area, things will happen.” And things were happening!!! The security car rounded the corner on Cam- pus Drive to return to the office. We spotted a pickup overflowing with more Sig Ep fraternity chanting an invitation Usage of walkie-talkie radios enables Campus Security officers to communicate more effectively, as shown by Officer Paul Mengel above.

The young man on the hood jum- ped off and climbed in the back. After a few minutes of talking, the officers returned to the security car. Chants of “Sig Ep PAR- TEE!” again filled the air as Men- gel started the car and the pickup passed with its passengers crowd- ed into the back. “Hey, you guys are invited ... without the uni- forms, of course,” The three officers smiled and waved. Mengel said, “It takes a different kind of person to be a se- curity officer at a college, try to be optimistic and deal with trouble open mindedly. The kids build up a lot of pressure and need to blow it off.” Dealing with people is part of the training that the security ficers undergo in Wilma Lewis handles the office while on duty at Campus Se curitv.

All of the security officers are commis- sioned by the governor as spe- cial deputy sher- iffs. They are authorized to arrest indi- viduals and to support the Kearney Po- lice Department. According to Fosket, the security of- ficers are called to back up the city police department. For example, when the de- partment attempts to break up the loud Thursday night parties, the campus se- curity will be called to “keep an eye” on the patrol cars so that irate party-goers will not break windows or antennae on the cars. We had an opportunity to back up the Kearney PD at 9:30 p.m. when the police radio reported that two boys from the Youth Development Center had es- caped. Officer Fosket called in to say that campus security would cover the ditch on the north. of- Mengel, Fosket and myself took off on foot. The gravel in the ________________ parking lot crunched un- der our feet as we crossed over to the irrigation ca- nal that follows the Cot- tonmill Hike-Bike Trail. As we walked in the shadows of dusk, the offi- cers tuned their eyes and ears to any unusual sights or sounds. For 10 minutes we talked in hushed tones and watched for unusual happenings until another call came over the radio . “YDC suspects sighted by the railroad.” The thrill of anticipation and the burst of adrenaline fell in disappointment. As if ---------------- Fosket read my mind, he said, “It’s almost like a high, isn’t it?” Fosket, 33, has been the night shift for 11 U on years. “The excitement of police work keeps me in it,” he said. Mengel, 24, has been with Campus Security for three years as he completes his education toward a criminal justice degree. “I like the unknown,” he said, of his job, “You never know what’s next.” A high-intensity situation occu- red for Mengel one morning between 2:30 and 3 during a routine building check at the coliseum. As he walked through the build- ing, rattling locked doors and check- ing the lockers, he noticed a light in the concessions area. He approached and saw a man sleeping inside a lock- ed office. “Nine times out of 10, a ‘prof’ has fallen asleep while working late” he said, “But, Number 10 could be the dangerous one.” So, Mengel called the city police department for assistance. Two of the city officers went with Mengel to the locked office. “It’s three in the morning and my adrenaline is pumping,” Mengel said. “I didn’t know if this guy had a knife or a gun. I had to wake him up to unlock the door.” Mengel banged on the door and the sleeping suspect jumped up. “He didn’t have any ID on him, so I told him to leave the building. I saw him the next day and he was a ‘prof!” The campus security sees a lighter side of their job when reports of aban- doned cars come in to investigation. When they shine their spotlights into these empty-looking cars, a naked rear sometimes greets them. Officer Fosket refers to this as “boondocking.” “Everyone is embarrassed and it is hard for me to keep a straight face when I ask for ID and they are scrambling to pull up fhfiir nants,” he said. Not only does the security officer write myriads of parking violations and rattle countless doors and windows, but they investigate vandalism, theft and as- sault. They back up the city police. They . investigate auto ----------------- accidents, escort money to and from cashiers to the banks, assist injured or sick students to hospitals, provide information and di- rect traffic.. “Students ought to know that if they need help, we have a police depart- ment on campus.” Officer Mengel said.

Guilt is caused by feelings of insecurity and self- doubt. It can take on many forms. Guilt can be healthy or unhealthy. “Guilt is a feeling that people experience when they feel they haven’t measured up rightly or wrongly according to their morals,” says Dr. Marvin Knittel, instructor of counsel- ling and school of psychology at KSC. Knittel is also a licensed psychologist. Profound self-punishment depends on how rational or ir- rational the conclusions are. The punishment ranges from putting one- self down to suicide. Guilt comes into the picture when our life is different from stan- dards set by society and our family. However, placing yourself-worth on externals instead of on themselves is wrong, according to the Rev. Jim Hei- thoff of the Newman Center. “A person usually feels guilty be- cause he hasn’t met up to his parents expectations,” Heithoff said. Guilt can be dangerous and that is why it is important to have a set of guidelines to follow. Guilt is an obstacle to growth. Knittel said, “If a child’s parents get divorced, the child feels guilty, like it was his fault. The side effects of childhood guilt may stand in the child’s way of becoming all he can be.” Those who are perfectionists seem to be prone to feel guilty. Perfectionists are more likely to judge themselves hard- When we ignore guilt, we are ignoring the rights of others. 99 -Knittel Knittel said, “When we ignore guilt, we are ignoring rights of others. A person can become a psychopath or sociopath if it is ignored,” For guilt to destroy a person he must be convinced that he is totally worthless. A feeling of inadequacy takes over. “Extreme guilt that interferes with normal daily life could ... we must remind ourselves that we are good and worthwhile .. -Heithoff cause a person to need professonal help-psychotherapy. Knittel said, “This will help to sort out the problem.” People need to forgive themselves and deal with the issue or issues causing the guilt. Knittel said, “A person needs to reduce the sentence to something less harsh and come to grips with the real problem.” Guilt is a normal human reaction. It is an important part of decisions based on how to function, react and behave in to- days’ society. “At the end of each day we must remind ourselves that we are good and worthwhile, no matter what happens out there,” Heithoff said. Believe in yourself. If you suffer from the pains of self-inflicted guilt, find the cause. Once you have discov- ered why you feel guilty, you can work to become more productive be- cause of your guilt or eliminate the guilt which may lead to serious health problems. Denise Dugan-Burkey nfv ll Dr. Marvin Knittel er. “You are the judge and jury of yourself,” Knittel said. Guilt can be advantageous. Heithoff said, “When selfish- ness enters the picture, guilt can be an advantage. For example, if a person says he missed his family, but doesn’t go home to see them for a long time because he’s too busy, guilt enters into the picture and prompts him to go home for a visit.” 54 person usually feels guilty because he hasn't met up to his parents expectations —Heithoff “Meet Your Mate” KSTV PRODUCES ITS VERSION OF THE DATING GAME Bachelor number one, if we were stranded on a cold deserted is- land, what would you do to keep me warm?” Number one replied, “I would make you a fire, wrap you in a blanket, and hold you in my arms all through the night.” Does this conversation sound famil- iar to you? Your first recollection of the previous scene might be from the popu- lar TV game show of the 1970s, “The Dating Game”. A similar version of this show came to life on the KSC campus this year, but it was referred to as “Meet Your Mate.” KSTV technicians monitor the cameras during the filming of Meet Your Mate. The host of KSTV’s dating game was Mike Monday, KSC graduate. He is a deejay for the local radio station KQ106. This idea orginated from Tim Anderson, KSC junior from Overton, one of the show’s three producers, along with Greg Shea of Kear- ney and Jodee Cavannah of Superior, also juniors. Shea commented, “It’s not easy to get a show going. We all had different ideas and there’s generally a lot of com- promising. There’s usually at least one person who is not entirely satisfied with the fi- nal decision. People generally don’t like to take orders from each other either, so there was often some tension between us.” Tapings were held on Mondays at 4 p.m. in the tele- communications studio, lo- cated in the Calvin T. Li- brary. The KSC version was very similar to the original TV version. There were two 15-min- ute segments taped at a time, alternating between one bachelor and their bachelorettes, then vice versa. These tapings took about 45 minutes to be recorded. At the end, the contestant chose a mate and received a prize, as is does on the actual version. Debi Meyers, KSC freshman said, “I’ll watch the one on television now because I know how the contestants feel.” Ten shows were supposed to be taped over the semester, but only six were completed. There were a few technical difficulties expe- rienced with the cameras. “It was definitely a lot of work” Cavannah said. “We put a lot of time into the show.” Airings of the show took place on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. on Channel 25, aired locally through cable. The student body appar- ently showed a great amount of interest in the game. Cavan- nah posted sign-up sheets across campus to get contes- tants for the program. “But students were kind of reluc- tant at first,” Anderson said. The three producers were at first go- ing to screen the contestants, but instead they drew names from a list and called them up. Host Mike Monday keeps show going as the cameras roll through a filming session. “I was glad when they called me to be on the show,” KSC freshman Tonya Storz said. “It was embarrassing when they began the taping, but then you re- lax. It was fun. I’d do it again.” The winner and date received such prizes as gift certificates for a dinner for two at the Cattleman’s Mining Company “Its not easy to get a show go- ing. We all had different ideas and there's generally a lot of compromising. —Shea or the Captain’s Table Restaurant. Free movie passes were also given away, cour- tesy of the game show. “Meet Your Mate” was the second game show ever produced on campus. Last spring a “Trivia Quest” show was the first game show to be broadcasted on KSTV. By producing the show, Ander- son, Shea and Cavannah are earning one credit hour for a television workshop class. There have been no plans for future airings in the fall semester of 1988. KSC juniors Andrea Temoshek and Rod Eppenbaugh both agreed that it was hot under all of the lights. Hot enough to bring their own suntan oils. “It was definitely a good experience,” Eppen- baugh said, “I recommend that everyone do it once.” Ellyn Pohlson 55 __. ’r 7 5 o •5 O £ g 03 1 'S I S § 8® 8 ? -tf A I 8,11 sel.si e|£|3! .. o -Sf� � S | § iU § 8� • as 5 q3 H Sr.-i j, .« q 13! £p •S 5?

Think about it. Who or what influ- enced you the most? Was it your parents, money, success, your friends, teachers, or did you decide to go to college simply for yourself? In one aspect, college is a time for learning and growing. College is a time to experience new things, improve your- self and your life in every possible way. Education isn’t all that is involved here. Improving yourself is a process that includes improving your life socially, emotionally, internally, as well as intel- lectually. You need to look at your life for what it is now, search for improve- ments, and work at making your life the best it can be. Don’t strive for any certain goal, put 100 percent of yourself into everything. Live your life day by day, enjoying the experience of each moment. In this area, eastern psychology could be a great ben- efit to you. One such course, 415 516 Eastern DAY Psychology, is taught at KSC by Dr. Dirk Mosig. The basic course objectives, ac- cording to Mosig’s class syllabus, are: 1. Accept responsibility for your own life (by taking responsi- bility for learning the subject matter assigned in this course and by supplementing the as- signments with additional mate- rials that the student wanted when selecting this course). 2. Become more realistic (by honestly facing situations, your- self, others and the environ- ment). 3. Become more accepting (of yourself, others, and reality). 4. Become more compassion- ate (of yourself, and others). 5. Become more open (to your senses, feelings, thoughts and to your ability to express them to others). 6. Become aware of the ma- jor concepts and ideas pertaining to psychology in Eastern thought and philosophy. . The ideas within eastern psychology, however, are more complex than these few objectives. To obtain a better under- standing of eastern psycology and the ideas it involves, let’s look at the creden- tials and philosophies of the professor who teaches it here. Mosig was born in Germany. He moved to Spain for a short time, and then moved on to Argentina, where he attended high school. In 1963, Mosig came to the United States to attend Eastern New Mexico University. Mosig ventured to Florida in 1966 to attend graduate school at the University of Florida, where he obtained his doctorate in 1974. Mosig started teaching at Georgia Southwestern Col- lege in 1971, staying there for six years, and finally coming to teach at KSC in 1977. Mosig is also interested in martial arts. He began his training in martial arts 29 years ago. Mosig has been an instruc- tor of martial arts for 25 years now and over the years, he says, he gradually be- came more aware of the philosophy asso- ciated with it. This philosophy, as well as Mosig’s experience in the area of mar- tial arts, is very evident in his eastern psychology class. Each class period of Eastern Psy- ow little does a person live, who is always chasing after goals. ” —Mosig chology begins with 20 minutes of Zen meditation. He regards this to be the most important part of his class. It teaches students to discipline their minds, stimulating their personal growth and awareness. Most of Mosig’s classes meet in a classroom at Founders Hall, but some class meetings are held at Kearney Zendo where students sometimes engage 60 Eastern psychology provides some of the means to help students improve themselves through accepting responsibility; becoming more realistic, open, compassionate and accepting, as well as other virtues. in longer meditation practice (40 min- utes) as well as in walking meditation and other experimental exercises. Kear- ney Zendo meets in a large separate ga- rage behind the Mosig residence. This is also where Mosig teaches martial arts, as the same facilities are used by his Shuri- ryu Karate and Kobudo Academy. Mosig is an international Shuri-ryu chief in- structor as well as the regional director of the U.S. Karate Association. One very important reason for studying eastern psychology is to see its relationship to western psychology. As Mosig points out, “Both East and West are concerned with happiness and fulfill- ment. The Western approach has been to supply more and more things to satisfy desires. The Eastern route, on the other hand, has been to learn to desire less and less and find happiness in being rather than having. In the West we set up goals and then chase after them. In the East, this is viewed as a sickness of the mind. The ideal state is to be without goals. This doesn’t mean that plans cannot or should not be made. But while in the West we see each step of the way as in- strumental in reaching a goal that is kept constantly in mind, in the East each step is experienced as worth engaging in for its own sake, without expectations of ul- terior gain or profit. “Make your plans, and then con- centrate not on reaching the goal, but on doing your best, moment by mo- ment. Learn to walk for the sake of walk- ing and you will en- joy and experience every step of the way. Walk only to get to your destination and you will miss the flowers along the way. The trip is more important than the destination. To travel brooding about the past and wor- rying about the future is to miss the reali- ty of the present, the here and now that is the ground of being. “A master once said, ‘how much does a person lack, who feels the need to have so many things.’ One could add, how little does a person live, who is al- ways chasing after goals.” “He added, never satisfied, always desiring, life will reach its conclusion before the seeker can reach that pot of happiness at the end of the rainbow. He never realized that true happiness can be found only in the here and now, in the moment by mo- ment experience of life as it is.” It is this type of wisdom which characterizes the aproach taken by Mosig as he teaches the Eastern Psychology course. Vicki Holoubeck, one of Mosig’s stu- dents, wrote in one of her papers for this course that she had been trying to prac- tice not having goals. “I haven’t set up goals (which is hard for me) and there- fore I’ve no let downs. If I gained something, great! If I didn’t, then I didn’t feel bad either, be- cause I didn’t set myself up for any- thing.” The philosophy that eastern psychology has about goals, the so-called “reasons for living”, is one that all of us need to learn, to not only better ourselves and enrich our lives during college, but thereafter as well. We all need to become aware of our lives and everything with in them and realize that reaching our goals is not our only reason for living. We need to put 100 percent of ourselves into everything and have 100 percent total awareness of everything we do. Don’t live in the past and don’t live for the future, live in the present. Experi- ence every moment and enjoy it for what it is — your whole life is right here, right now. Only then can we enjoy our lives for what they are instead of constantly wish- ing for more. This awareness, the aware- ness taught in eastern psychology, may be just what we need to feel satisfied and fulfilled in our lives. The following excerpt is from a com- position called “Flow” written by Dr. Dirk Mosig.

Title III is a pro- gram funded by the federal gov- ernment, through the U.S. Department of Education, to strengthen the academic programs of col- leges and universities. Title III funding at KSC goes to two areas: faculty salaries and equipment. KSC has submitted grant proposals to Title III in several previous years. One was approved several years ago but no funding was available due to budget re- strictions. The current Title III project is in the second year. “This grant calls for $200,000 per year for three years, a total of roughly $600,000 ’ said Dr. David Clark, dean of the School of Natural and Social Sci- ences. Title III deals with three major areas: math and sci- ence, manage- ment informa- tion systems (MIS) and the writing center. The current Title III grant was pri- marily written by Clark who wrote the math and science, and MIS portions. Betty Becker-Theye, dean of the School of Fine Arts and Humanities wrote Dr. David Clark, dean of Natural and Social Sciences the portion of the grant that deals with the writing lab. Through this program, KSC science, math and English departments were strengthened. Math Science “The first year, 1986-1987, the main project was developing the math plan- ning center and writing lab portions,” Clark said. Polly Amstutz, math instructor in charge of the Math Lab, said, “The main purpose of the math portion of the grant is to reduce math anxiety and drop rate (attrition), and to try new approaches in developing problem solving and critical thinking skills. “The math lab hopefully will pro- vide an environment that encourages in- vestigation and interaction by the stu- dent in an inquiry role approach to learn- ing,” said Amstutz. Said Marvin Glasser, chairman of the Physics Department, “Roger Carlson and Don Carlson pioneered the applica- tion of the Inquiry Role Approach (IRA) in physical science classes and have dem- onstrated its ability to develop critical thinking skills in student.” The Inquiry Role Approach (IRA) is a method of teaching whereby students work in teams with each individual member having a desig- nated role. Roles include: team leader, technical adviser and data recorder. The IRA allows students to discover things with an at- mosphere that encourages in- vestigation and interaction plus working in a lab with ap- plication questions and sum- maries while directed by instructors. “I hope students will take advantage of the math lab to work individually, as well as in groups, with the software pro- grams and other available materials,” Amstutz said. Clark said, “The chemistry depart- ment is already developing pilot tests of the inquiry role with Chemistry 100 and 145. Physics 205 and 206 were able to fin- ish inquiry role units that were initiated before Title III; we also hope to develop some in- quiry role units in Biology 109 and Psychology 203. “Algebra 101 combines com- puter networks and inquiry roles with environment both in and out of the classroom,” he said. “The first initial idea wasn’t to use the inquiry role with math, but more development signi- fied that inquiry roles could be used to teach basic math,” Clark said. “The major setback for the math portion has been the delay of software Betty Becker-Theye, dean of School of Fine Arts and Humanities 62 - t - I ) from outside sources,” Amstutz said. Clark said, “KSC students will ben- efit from being better prepared for basic life skills such as writing, math and thinking. These skills will carry on into other courses and life after graduation. More faculty will also become familiar with computers as an instructional tool.” Funding for this project created out of the ordinary aspect of learning for the students. Management Information Systems Management Information Systems (MIS) is the second area of Title III. “Title III funding will be used to as- sist in the implementation of the admin- istrative computer system on campus,” said Kathy Livingston, MIS director. The salaries portion of Title III en- abled Livingston to be relieved of some of her regular duties and concentrate ad- ditional time to work with the new MIS. A portion of Livingston’s salary was used to hire another employee to take over some of her previous responsibilities. Equipment dollars gave KSC addi- tional money for more equipment. “Further into Title III, money will continue to be used for purchasing more equipment and salaries while other funds will be earmarked for additional software,” Livingston said. “The memory contained in the new mainframe computer is 48 times larger than the previous system,” she added. “Our new software is divided into five components. One area called ‘All-In- One’ deals with office automation - word processing and electronic mail,” Living- ston said. “The other four software compo- nents are parts of an integrated software package for higher education which con- tain: the Alumni Development System (ADS), the Student Information System (SIS), the Financial Records System (FRS) and the Human Resource System (HRS),” Livingston said. “During the two-year period of im- Kathy Livingston, MIS director plementation there will be lots of testing, training and cooperation on the job,” said Livingston. The MIS system may cut down on the confusing “red tape” which appears in so many aspects of a college’s daily business. These improvements once imple- mented should help students speed up their transactions with the college. The lives of college students as well as the staff should become slightly less confus- ing. Writing Center The Writing Center, located in Tho- mas Hall, room 104, offers four services: word processing, computer aided in- struction in the editing skills area and two different kinds of tutorials designed for students to drop in and get help on any writing project. “The Writing Center offers word processing equipment and tutors, and students can have either ma- chine help or personal help,” said Becker- Theye. “KSC stu- dents will bene- fit from the pro- gram by having better assign- ments and support both technical and tutorial at the center,” said Dr. David Anderson. The writing center offers word processing, edi- ting instruction, a one-credit-hour course and tutori- al.

Computer aided instruction in edit- ing skills, is available to all interested KSC students. English 191, a tutorial, will provide opportunities to work with a sequence of writing assignments and exercises struc- tured to students’ needs. All KSC students wishing to have help with any writing project should just drop in and tutors will help with editing and revising projects, Anderson added. This service provides an opportuni- ty which students will soon recognize as a necessity and eventually the word pro- cessing will become something KSC may use as readily and as often as the Calvin T. Ryan Library. “Word processing will not necessari- ly make you a good writer, but will cer- tainly invite good writing,” Anderson said. This grant calls for $200,000 per year for three years, a total of roughly $600,000.” — Clark “The Title III project is focused on writing as a thinking activity, on analysis and synthesis,” he said. He also believes the project brought “something central” to the quality of an education at KSC. Students’ writing should, according to the theory used in the center, become more involved in thought and com- munication, and be- come less of a task to complete. Becker-Theye said, “Title III en- ables students to come in contact with their normal course work and to work in- dependently or with help.” Title III is a project which will con- tinue many years after the grant. Having enabled new innovations for many stu- dents, the project also allowed faculty and administrators to realize the versa- tile facets of computers.

It’s 10 p.m. and whether you are do- ing homework, partying or just re- laxing, chances are you’re also lis- tening to the radio. The late night disc jockeys at KSCV, or K-91, are there to play your favorites. Fred “The Man” and Rick “Van” Brown are just two of the 10 to 2 a.m. DJs that play your requests, turn the tunes and give you public service announcements during those late-night hours. Fred “The Man” has been at KSCV for two years and says he likes music, likes to play music and share his knowledge of musicians and their bands. He also likes the freedom of the night shifts versus the morning show. He also hosts on Wednes- days from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Van” Brown, who has been on the air at KSCV since January 1987, said this is what he has wanted to do all his life and after some reservations, he just “went for it.” Now he has a part-time job in Grand Island on weekends at KRGI. “Between the two, (jobs), I get about 18 hours of air time a week.” Van said. Both of the DJs like the late-night slot more than any other because they have more freedom to play what they want and more people are listening to their shows than earlier in the day, so they get more calls for requests. But, more calls means more music so both bring in personal col- lections of music to play due to the lack of new music at the station. According to Van, “The studio doesn’t have a lot of what people are listening to UT It makes me feel good when people call and say we sound good because you know that they’re lis- tening because they like what they hear. ” — Fred “The Man’’ because they can’t afford it. We under- stand.” Both DJs agreed that they love the calls but sometimes get behind on requests. “It makes me feel good when people call and say we sound good because you know that they’re listening because they like what they hear,” Fred said. “But also we take more abuse because of the easy access to the DJ through the phone.” When they are answering phones they aren’t cuing mu- sic, thus they get be- hind. But phone calls are also the link be- tween the DJ and his or her audience, so sometimes they can be a bit unusual. Fred was once called by “Satan” after playing “King Dia- mond” and was ac- cused of talking de- gradingly about him. Though DJ-lis- tener relationships are common over the phone, a few carried on from last year, ac- cording to Fred. He said “a lot of girls call and ask you out for a drink or something just out of curiosity. One even wanted me to meet her under the bell tower after I got off shift.” Van also said regulars call frequently. “One girl,” he said “called during every shift and talked all summer.” But when asked if he ever met her he said, “No. She wouldn’t give me her last name.” Besides taking requests and cuing rec- ords the DJs have a lot to keep them busy on “off” time. They get news from the As- sociated Press, read the meter transmitter every half hour to measure the frequency level of the station, read the weather every half hour along with various promos and also have to watch the daily log for sched- uled public service announcements, be- sides finding and refiling albums. Though neither of them get really ner- vous, reading the news isn’t the most fun part of the job. Fred “The Man” said of reading the news, “I’m on a roll and hit a word I can’t pronounce and get stuck.” Van commented that he doesn’t proofread the news anymore because “I don’t do any bet- ter or worse if I don’t proofread.” They both have morning and late night shows and agree that late night is their favorite. The reasons for this opinion were not hard to find. The format of KSCV consists of mellow in the morning, classical from 1 to 3 p.m. and harder every hour af- ter that until the late night shift. “I like all kinds of music,” said Van, “but this is my favorite.” So tonight as you’re doing homework, partying or just relaxing, turn your radio to K-91 and listen to Fred “The Man” or “Van” Brown and judge for yourself. Or if you are already listening to them, give them a call and tell them what you think of their show. Anrie Rye 65 Pierce is Tough, A gray-haired, grandmotherly woman, who looks to be in her 60s, enters the classroom on the first day of the semester and greets 30 freshmen English students. With a sweater wrapped around her shoulders, her glasses in one hand and a wrinkled, white Kleenex in the other, she places her textbooks atop the small, tan desk at the front of the room. “Is this going to be our teacher for En- glish 100?” you ask yourself excitedly. “What a pushover she’ll be!” A pushover? Well freshmen, think again. Hazel Pierce, professor of English, be- gan teaching at KSC in 1964 and has been earning the respect of her students and fel- low faculty members ever since. Like other faculty members, Pierce be- gins each semester with roll call in her clas- ses, and freshmen should beware because she’ll make every student sit up and take no- tice. “Mr. Adams,” she says firmly. “Here,” the young man answers meek- ly, and for the rest of the semester Pierce continues to address her students by their last names. But where did such a kind and fun-loving person become so strict and militarized? In the military. While teaching at a small school in McClain, 111., during World War II, Pierce and a few friends fancied joining the armed forces to help in the war effort. “At that time, there was lots of publicity about women join- ing the military.” Pierce said. “Several of us were talking about it one day, and I decided - why not?” Although Pierce ------------------------------------- was the only woman from her circle of friends to actually join, she believed the military would offer new challenges and a different lifestyle. The different lifestyle she wanted she found in 1943 by joining the U.S. Navy. “Since I had an education, I went straight into officer’s training,” she explained. (and we don’t mean Hawkeye!) Hazel Pierce's military experience carries over and helps her keep a strict agenda in the classroom. E njoy life and meet as many people as you can. That's what I’ve enjoyed most about my life — meeting people and meeting new chal- lenges. ” — Pierce After one month at the Mount Holyoke training camp and two months at North Hampton, Pierce was ready to put what she learned to use. She attended Ohio State University where she was instructed to teach naval ca- dets how to recognize aircrafts and ships. Af- ter her training was complete, she was as- signed to Livermore Naval Base in Califor- nia. However, it wasn’t long before naval of- ficer Pierce drew an assignment to a “lighter than air base,” or a base that accommodated large, hot-air balloons. The base is in Santa Ana, Calif. At the base, Pierce worked in one of two hangers designated for the storage of the balloons. “I was in charge of the audio and video materials used to train pilots,” she said. In addition, Pierce said training pilots and naval cadets weren’t the only challenges she faced in the military. Although Pierce said she and other mil- itary women were treated very well by their male counterparts, one incident she still re- calls clearly: “A friend and I were on leave in San Francisco and as we walked down a street, we passed two men who were Army privates,” she explained. “One snapped a salute to us, and the other followed, but when ------------------------------------------- they passed us, I heard one say to the other, 'Why did you salute them?’ ‘Well, they’re officers.’” This was the only time during her naval career anyone showed an indication of disrespect, she said. Although she spent three years serving the Navy and her country, Pierce has no regrets. “Enjoy life and meet as many people as you can,” she said with a sparkle in her eye. “That’s what I’ve enjoyed most about my life — meeting people and meeting new challenges.” To those who know and respect her, Hazel Pierce is a sweet, kind and witty woman. However, to those unsuspecting fresh- man who find themselves in her class, sitting up straight in their desks and answering, “Yes Maam!” — beware! Loretta Young jo 44 A t that time, there was lots of publicity about women joining the military. Several of us were talking about it one day, and I decided — why not?” — Pierce 66 It's in the mail Lewis “Louie” Schultz found that most peo- ple hold their mail as a top priority and they get irritable when it’s late. Lewis Schultz doesn’t deliver babies or groceries, but he sure can get the mail out. Schultz, mailroom supervi- sor at KSC has been sorting, sacking and distributing mail in the college post of- fice for almost seven years. From an observer’s point of view, the volume of mail that floods the mail- room each day is overwhelming. And it’s Schultz’s job to sort approximately 1,200 letters, three to five sacks of packages and another bundle or two of magazines — all before 9:30 a.m. each day. One misconception students have, Schultz said, is that his office handles the residence hall mail. “The residence hall mail comes al- ready sorted and housing delivers it,” he said. “Eleven sacks come for all the halls — I never open ‘em, never touch 'em. “Kids come in ------------------- and say their mom sent them a letter and they didn’t get it. They want to know if I have it. I don’t have it.” Schultz has his share of stories to tell about the unusual package or letter that has shown up. “One time we got a package of cheese from Europe,” he said. “I don’t know what kind it was but it smelled so bad we almost threw it out.” In six years, he has come across over- sized postcards, opened packages, pack- ages wrapped in comic sections from newspapers, and even a broken wine bot- tle. Schultz’s prior experiences with the “0 ne time we got a package of cheese from Europe. I don't know what kind it was but it smelled so bad we almost threw it out ” , , — bchultz U.S. Post Office began in 1953 while serving in the Army during the Korean War. “I was waiting for discharge and they needed somebody to take over the office. I said, “Hell, I think I can do that.” Schultz, who goes by Louie rather than Lewis, came to Kearney in the fall of 1969 from Winner, S.D., where he farmed. In September of 1971, he took the job of grounds supervisor and plumb- er’s helper in the KSC physical plant. Ten years later, he became the mailroom supervisor. Schultz said sorting mail and staf- fing the customer window can be the most frustrating part of his job. “Faculty people bring mail in and the stack on the table gets higher and high- er, and there I am,” he said, pointing to the customer service window. The window opens at 10 a.m., closes at noon, and is open again from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Cus- tomer service generates $400 to $700 in revenues each week, Schultz said. Most of the funds come in 22-cent denomina- tions. That averages out to almost to 300 people buying stamps or mailing pack- ages at the window every day. Stamp collectors no longer flock to the campus post office after it quit sell- ing every variety of stamp available. “We did have all kinds (of stamps) a couple of years ago but everyone wanted to see every stamp we had and C i T7 ids come in and say their iVfflOffl sent them a letter and they didn’t get it. They want to know if I have it. I don’t have it. ” — Schultz it got to be very time-consuming,” Schultz said. Schultz is assisted on Wednesdays by part-time helper Donna Schmidt and three work-study students. “The first two weeks in December when we have all the Christmas stuff coming in I’ve got to have extra help,” he said. “The last two years they’ve had Donna work the window so I’d have time to get the sorting done.” The way Schultz tells it, you get the idea he’d like nothing better than to per- manently board up the customer win- dow. But the 57-year old said his only outlet to the public is one of the best things about his job. “I like to talk to people and visit,” he said. But there’s more to liking it than just meeting people. “When I was a kid, I wanted to be a rural carrier,” he said. “I always wanted to but I never tried.” SeanWelde 67 _t , myself to On the hearte Maltes Sands of myself to my full potential and become a more independent person ’ she added. “The people were very warm, friendly and open- hearted ’ Beckman said. She found the Maltese to be very proud of their Roman Catholic heritage and traditions. There were two political parties on the island, the Na- tionalist and the Socialist. “The Nationalists seem to view the Americans as a real super power ’ Beckman said. “The people were very in- terested in American politics and cul- ture. ed her that Malta was a neutral country. Beckman was one of five American students to participate in the exchange. “When we arrived on the island, we were notified by the U.S. Embassy to check in with them,” she said. “Since there were only a few of us on the island, they wanted to know where we would be living and where we would be during the day in case of an emergency.” After the initial meeting with the ambassador, Beckman was invited to all social functions held at the ambassador’s home. “We would get together every Fri- day for a barbecue at the home of the Julie Beckman, Omaha Walking along the beach, she can feel the sand grains fall between her toes, the sun shining on her back, and the warm wind blowing through her hair and brushing her face. She looks out across the Mediterranean Sea. The sun is setting in watercolor wash of yellows, reds and oranges. Be- hind her are miles of huge rocks. Sudden- ly, she hears the chimes of the bell tower. No longer is Julie Beckman walking along the beaches of Malta, but she is waking from a daydream. She finds her- self once again sitting through class at KSC. Beckman is one of the few students at KSC to take advantage of the Interna- tional Student Exchange Program. She spent the fall semester of 1986 on a small island between Italy and Greece called Malta. “It was the greatest experience of my life,” said the Omaha senior. “Studying abroad was one of the most educational experiences of my life. I had to learn to adapt to the culture and the language barrier. It helped me develop “Maltese students had high expec- tations of my academic abilities because I was a student from America.” Beckman found that it was more dif- ficult to get accepted into college in Malta. She said in the European-style school, each student had to be sponsored by an individual or a business that would be obligated to pay the student’s tuition and fees for five years. It was only the select, exclusive mid- dle-aged students who were given the honor to attend the University,” she said. “Their studies were taken very seri- ously. They would go to school for six months and work for their sponsor for six months. So the year was divided into a work phase and a school phase. After graduation, the students were also obli- gated to work for their sponsor for two more years. In a sense, it is similar to be- ing in the U.S. Army Reserves.” Beckman said she was apprehensive at first about attending the University of Malta, because of its location. It is 60 miles north of Tripoly, Libya. But the U.S. Ambassador and the six Marines stationed to guard the Embassy reassur- Marines,” she added. Although she has many good memo- ries of her trip to Malta, Beckman said that being away from home for so long made her appreciate the comforts and the advantages of the United States. “I would love to go back someday. I made a lot of friends there and I have had the opportunity to host three of them this summer in Omaha,” she said. Beckman is happy that she chose to attend KSC. “Kearney has so many pro- grams to offer and I think the students need to become more aware of the oppor- tunities that are available.” Beckman highly recommends the International Student Exchange Pro- gram to other KSC students. But if any one would like to ask Beckman about the program, they’ll have to do so before the end of the semester — she may be en- joying the mysteries of the Orient. She is currently applying to attend college in Japan this spring. “I think the exchange program is ex- cellent education for any person who is adventurous enough to pursue it,” Beckman said.

With a competitive football team, district-winning basket- ball teams top-notch volleyball squad and a national champion softball team, the community has a lot to cheer about. Capturing those championship moments in print is Brent Robinson, who covers KSC sports for the Kearney Daily Hub. My responsibility is to make sure Kearney State sports are covered,” Rob- inson. “What I really enjoy about Kear- ney State is the big-time program in a smaller town setting.” But Robinson was not always so fond of KSC sports. Growing up and at- tending college in Hastings, he came to know KSC as being Has- tings’ biggest rival. “I was about as a big of a Hastings basketball fan as you think a journalist is always looking to better him - self, but I’m in no hurry to get out of Kearney, Neb. ” — Robinson could find,” Robinson said about his college days. “At that time, their biggest competition was Kearney State College.” Robinson said the Antelopes ruined Hastings’ chances of post-season play more than once. The Lopers often beat out Hastings for a playoff berth in the National Association of In- tercollegiate Athletics playoffs in Kansas City. “They stopped Hastings from going there,” he said. “My hope when I became a Hastings student, was I really looked for- ward to going to Kansas City.” Robinson said one of the best years for Hastings was during the 1977-78 season. Unfortunately for the Broncos, that was the first year of a 10-year string of district titles for KSC. “When I got older, I admired the Kearney State program,” Robinson said. “Now when I look back on it, it was a situation where if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” And join them he did. Robinson started covering KSC sports in 1985 when he took over as sports editor at the Hub. Since covering KSC, Robinson said he enjoys the atmosphere. “KSC has a good tradition,” he said. “Kearney State does not get the best athletes anymore. It has to be the coaching . .. the program.” Working with those coaches is one of the things Robinson likes best. “I really enjoy the coaching staff,” he said. “I can’t remem- ber working with a nicer coaching staff. Whether it’s Jerry Hueser, Claire Boroff, Rosella Meier, Dick Beechner, A1 Zikmund or Don Briggs. They’ve made my job awful easy. “Kearney State College is the Nebraska or Oklahoma of the NAIA,” Robinson added. “People may not look at it as a big-time program, but it is the NAIA.” Reporting on a big-time program gives Robin- son plenty of big stories. With KSC switching to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, he said plenty of big stories are yet to come. “I think some of the biggest... influential events that affect KSC are in the future,” Robinson said. “In the next two years, you’ll see tremendous change at KSC. A lot of the big stories have been success stories, with basketball, volleyball and the softball team winning a national title.” The road to covering KSC was a short one for Robinson. After attending Hastings College for two years, he graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1981. Taking news-editorial classes at UN-L, Robinson graduat- ed through the teacher’s college. At the time, he was hoping to get into teaching and coaching. But his first job was neither in teaching or at a newspaper. It was at a radio station. “I was an overnight disc jockey at KFRX-FM in Lincoln,” Robinson said. “It was kind of a unique and perfect situation. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Tim Moreland, former play-by-play man for Cornhusker sports and now announcing for the Minnesota Vikings, helped Robinson get the job. “He knew me and he got me the job,” Robinson said. “I got the job with virtually no experience.” Staying with radio station for only six months, Robinson moved on to the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. After 18 months there, he became sports editor at Kearney. “I came here in 1985 when the Omaha World-Herald pur- chased the Hub,” he said. Robinson said he does not plan to move on from Kearney in the near future. “Right now, I’m very satisfied with my job,” he said. “I’m doing what I want to do.” While in college, Robinson remembers wanting to cover sports in a town with a big-name college or a professional sports team. But those goals have faded. “Now I’m married ... and I have a family,” he said. “Maybe I’ve downstepped those goals a little bit. I would still like to go another step. But for being 28 years old, I think I’m in a good position. I think a journalist is always look- ing to better himself, but I’m in no hurry to get out of Kearney, Neb.” Brent Robinson, Has- tings A REAL SPORT 69 R ART PROFESSOR RAY SCHULTZE REVEALS SOME OF THE MAGIC OF GLASSBLOWING. Heat blasts out of the small brick fur- naces; five gallon buckets hold water filled with wooden tools. A barrel of long metal pipes sits beside a metal-top table. What is this equipment for? It is for Ray Schultze’s glass- blowing class offered Tuesday eve- nings through the Art Depart- ment. The only prerequisite for the course is three-dimensional design, another course offered by the Art Department and taught by Schultze. Glassblowing may be taken “One of the biggest honors, one which I was very pleased about, was when I was commissioned to make the governor's art awards this year. ” — Schultze more than one semester. “I would say I have on the average three or four stu- dents who continue. Once you get bitten, once you get over this first clumsy stage, where you begin to control the medium, then it kind of gets in your blood. As I tell people, glass is magic,” said Schultze. “My first ex- perience was with a workshop in Minne- sota, I believe in 1970. I attended a four day workshop. At that workshop I had minimal experience but a very enjoyable experience. I had a blow pipe in my hand for the first time and saw the process for the first time and actually participated in a hands-on workshop,” he said. From that workshop he learned the basic steps of offhand glassblowing. He then came home and built his first basic equipment, some of which is still used today. Schultze continued, “Most glass- blowers build much of their own equip- ment and adapt it to their own situa- tion.” Schultze is fairly tall so he has built his equipment higher, but through the use of platforms and other modifications the equipment can be used by students of different heights. Schultze’s first few years were an ex- perimental and learning basis. He later decided to further his study of glass and glass manipu- lation. “In 1974 I took a leave of ab- sence from KSC and attended Alfred University in New York,” Schultze said. He took classes to develop his knowledge and skills in glassblowing. Al- fred University also had a glass science department which trained glass engi- neers. He took courses in glass science to further his understanding of the scientific theory of glass and its structural makeup. “Since 1961 there has been a renaissance, an interest in offhand glassblowing. Prior to that, there virtually was none. The only glass- blowing being done was in facto- ries so the small studio or shop be- gan after 1961 and interest grew very rapidly,” said Schultze. “It’s called ‘offhand glass- blowing’ because it’s a free manip- ulation of the glass material at the end of the blow pipe without the aid of a mold,” Schultze explained. “If you go uptown to a store which handles handblown glass you might notice some of the ob- jects are the same. The hand- blown technique can be done with the aid of a mold. I have some de- vices such as the optic mold which is a preliminary technique to gain a cer- tain textural surface.” Two different types of glass can be used for glassblowing — batch glass or scrap glass. Scrap glass is mainly used because it is less expensive. Scrap glass, such as pop bottle glass, is crushed and Jensen and Halva add color to their glass. As I tell people, glass is magic. ” — Schultze 70 the . its 3n a and iere ass- cto- be- rew ass- lip- the the led. ;ore lass ob- nd- nth de- .i ch ;er- be . or sed 1SS, ind Ray Schultze works on glass as a teacher and as an artist. tion of the museum. “One of the biggest honors, one which I was very pleased about, was when I was commissioned to make the governor’s art awards this year,” said Schultze.

The pieces are then given as awards to various indi- viduals or organizations in the state that He explained that like any other form of art, glassblowing is a develop- mental process which is never complete. He said he will always strive to improve his work, always hoping the next piece will be better than the last. “Sometimes when people ask how long does it take you to blow a carafe? I’ll pause for a moment and say, 'Well, 15 years.’” Jana Walz Left: A display of Schultze’s commissioned work for the governor's art awards.

The advanced students work with batch glass. “We do have the capa- bility here to make batch glass by melting the dry in- gredients - silicon, sodium, calcium and other ingre- dients. We then subject it to high temperatures to melt it for the first time,” said Schultze. Each semester a fur- nace is also filled with col- ored glass and colored glass rods can be ordered. The glass rods are made in Ger- many and are quite expen- sive. On-going glassblowing programs are quite rare. If you go uptown to a store which handles handblown glass you might notice some of the ob- jects are the same. The hand- blown technique can be done with the aid of a mold. I have some div- ices such as theoptic mold which is a preliminary technique to gain a certain textural surface.” — Schultze Many colleges and universities started programs in the early 1960s but had to stop offering them when theenergy crunch hit. It became too expensive to maintain the programs. Now a few col- leges and universities have workshops but nothing permanent. “It’s not very common to have pro- grams like this and I feel very fortunate that we are able to offer the program for our students,” said Schultze. Schultze estimated he has displayed his glassblown works in six or eight invi- tational shows this year. He had a show in the Nebraska Museum of Art in No- vember, where he also displayed a work in glass which is in the permanant collec- 71 74 Meet the Once upon a time there was a man from Memphis named Elvis who the people crowned king of rock 4n’ roll. King Elvis reigned over his kingdom for some time. One day, four boys from a land across the sea came to the land of rock ‘n’ roll. The people fell in love with them. Seeing this, King Elvis made them dukes of his kingdom and invited them to be seated at the right of his throne. Later the dukes of rock V roll began to quarrel amongst them- selves and each finally decided to go his own way. The foursome parted, with each duke continuing on his own way, but they never seemed to achieve the stardom while apart as when they had been together. eatles 75 EVENTS It was a windy, rainy day in Febru- ary, 1964, when four men, merely in their twenties, walked off an airplane at John F. Kennedy Air- port in New York. Greeted by thousands of teenagers, the Beatles rocked the world for the next six years and changed rock ‘n’ roll music forever. Twenty-four years after this “British Invasion” on America, the band 1964 as the Beatles rocked the Nebras- kan’s Ponderosa Room just as the origi- nal Beatles rocked the Cavern nightclub in Liverpool, England. For the more than 450 spectators, November’s 1964 as the Beatles two- hour performance might have been a concert that looked and sounded just as if the Beatles had stopped at KSC in 1964. Like John Lennon, Mark Benson’s guitar strap was adjusted so his guitar rested high on his chest. Benson tapped his foot, chewed gum and sang with a raspy voice similiar to Lennon’s. He also stood a couple feet behind his microphone and leaned into it while he sang. A trademark of John Lennon. Larry Grimes played left-handed bass guitar, bobbed his head and peered out across the au- dience with puppy-dog eyes while occa- sionally demonstrating the infamous Paul McCartney scream during such songs as Long Tall Sally and Twist and Shout Bob Miller’s long face and timid smile reflected the George Harrison of 1964. Miller was the “Quiet One” playing lead guitar and constantly shifting his body weight from one foot to the other, a mannerism of the real Harrison. Greg George pounded out the Mer- sey Beat on the drums which set high above the rest of the band. He had the nose and eyes of Ringo Starr and shook his mop-top hair to the rhythm of the songs — just as Ringo did 24 years ago. After finishing the first song, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, George raised his right hand over his head and gave the crowd a hearty Ringo wave, furiously waving his hand. Benson, Grimes, George and Miller gave to KSC students what their parents might have seen had they attended a 1964 Beatles concert. COME TOGETHER Not only does 1964 look and sound like the Beatles, but they also came to- gether in the same chronological order as the Beatles. “I was working with a different drummer at the time, just as the Beatles had Pete Best in their beginning,” Ben- son said in a Blue Gold interview fol- lowing the concert. “Then I got Larry, who plays Paul, interested in playing bass guitar. Larry wasn’t originally a bass player, but neither was Paul; both were originally regular guitar players. Larry had to learn to play left-handed because he was originally right-handed. “Then we picked up a guy to play George. The drummer left us, as Pete Best left the Beatles and then we picked up Greg, who looks so much like Ringo.” The present 1964 as the Beatles was formed in two weeks. Miller, who plays George, was in the Broadway show, Beat- lemania, Benson said. This show was a chronological portrayal of the Beatles’ history, beginning with the early Beatles and ending at their 1970 breakup. With each member of the band made up to look like his Beatle counter- part, the concert was played in intervals, each representing a different era. Begin- ning with the early Beatles and mop tops, the next interval portrayed the Sgt. Pepper’s era in which all the band members wore Sgt. Pepper’s jackets. It ended with the long- haired Beatles, as represented on the Abbey Road and Let It Be albums. “When we were going through the change,” Benson said, “we wondered how to replace the first George Harri- son. People would come up to us — the fanatics, those who’d seen all the different Beatles shows — and say that Bob was the best George Harrison; the best look-alike, the best sound. They all told us this was the one to get, so we got him.” John (Mark Benson) played harmonica on such songs as Love Me Do and 1 Should Have Known Better while George (Bob Miller) and Paul (Larry Grimes) strummed the melo- dies. ' ’ l 76 YESTERDA Y AND TODAY... 1964 also sounds authentic because band members use the same model and year of instruments the Beatles used. “It’s all vintage stuff,” Benson said. “When we decided to do this (form a Beatles sound - and look-alike band), we decided to be authentic. We wanted the same guitars, amplifiers and everything, so the sound coming off the stage would be indentical to what you would have heard if the Beatles had been playing. “We scoured the countryside to find all these instruments. One of the ampli- fiers I got from Jackson Browne’s guitar player, David Lindly. He got it from a store in England where the Beatles used to trade a lot of stuff; so you never know, it could be one of the Beatles’ amps or not.” From the mop-top wigs down to Beatle boots, 1964 has also done its best to make the clothing authentic. Their boots were imported from Liverpool and their suits are tuxedoes which have been altered to match the Beatles’ original suits. 1964 members have watched thou- sands of feet of Beatles’ concert footage to learn each Beatle’s mannerisms and to copy their voices. The effort has paid off. “We had a couple from Liverpool come up and ask, ‘Are you scouts?”’ Benson said. “Scouts” are what Liver- pudlians call themselves. “They said,” Benson continued, “ ‘These kids have no idea what they are seeing. We saw the Beatles at the Cavern, Ringo (Greg George) hammered out the Mersey Beat on the drums, which the real Richard Starkey was famous for. and you guys got it all down. We were waiting for you to make a mistake, but you never did.’” ACT NATURALLY Why was the Beatles’ popularity so long-lived? Benson attributes their suc- cess to several factors, one of which is the media attention the Beatles received. “They were such a media-blitzed group,” he said. “There were a lot of bands in that time, but nobody had the lasting musical appeal the Beatles had. “They were all natural actors. They were real cheeky, real funny and really quick and witty with responses. No other band had the charisma the Beatles had, and the media made gods out of them. “As a result, they were prisoners; they had no social life, and that’s why they quit touring. Stores, like Macy’s in New York, had to open at midnight so the Beatles could go shopping. “They couldn’t appear in public during normal hours without getting mobbed. It would be a terrible thing to be so popular that you couldn’t just go and get a cup of coffee in a restaurant without getting mobbed. Someone would have to buy your clothes for you, or stores would have to open at odd hours so you could shop in peace.” Another reason for the Beatles’ suc- cess was their ability to draw all kinds of music together to form their own sound. Benson said Harrison was fascinated by American music and picked up on the rockabilly sound of Carl Perkins and country sound of Chet Atkins, Paul McCartney was a fan of Mo- town stars such as Little Richard, who taught McCartney to scream as he did on such songs as Long Tall Sally and Twist and Shout Even though the Beatles made these and other songs famous, they were not the first to record these songs. “Little do people know,” Benson said, “some of the songs they did were not original Beatles songs. They did a lot of stuff like Roll Over Beethoven, Rock ‘n ’Roll Music and Please Mister Postman which other ar- tists recorded first. Because the Beatles made these songs popular, many people assumed these were Beatles songs.” Beatles producer George Martin told the Beatles they had a bleak future unless they wrote and sang their own songs. McCartney and Lennon reworked songs they had written and began to write new ones. Within a few years, this duo became the most famous songwrit- ing team of their, and possible, of all time. They also wrote songs for others. Benson said their first Rolling Stones’ British hit, I Wanna Be Your Man, was written by the Beatles for the Stones. E V E N S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR Along with the Beatles’ musical ability, a little science and magic attrib- uted to their success. It is perhaps this magic that causes people today to act as they do when 1964 takes to the stage. “Beatles’ music had such a positive vibration to it,” Benson said. “Researchers have done scientific stud- ies on Beatles music as to the beat and rhythm and how it affects the human body. All the Beatles’ songs have a rhy- thm that goes with the rhythm of the heart, whereas a lot of other rock music has a beat that goes against the rhythm of the human heart. This is a phenomenon that has never hap- pened before and I doubt it’ll ever happen again. “That’s why on a lot of other music, you’ll say, Tm tired of hear- ing this song.’ But on Beatles songs, you never seem to get tired of them. “The music seems to affect kids; it’s just such a positive thing. Children get to dancing around and it’s really great. I look out into the audience and see a six- year old dancing around, looking up at me and singing along with me to songs like I Wanna Hold Your Hand or Love Me Do, “Timewise, that would be like a 25- or 30-year old singing all Tony Bennett’s hits. What other music has the lon- gevity the Beatles’ tunes have had?” Beatles songs persevere, often reappearing near the top of today’s music charts. An example is the 1965 hit, Twist and Shout, which resurfaced be- cause of its use in the recent film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Because of this longevity, Benson said 1964 plays for a variety of audiences. “We do so many different kinds of gigs: colleges, theaters, amphitheaters, music parks and corporate parties. “We have yet to find one definite au- dience or kind of thing we can’t do. Even if you’re not a Beatles fan, you know the stuff from hearing it for so many years.” The Beatles’ magic comes from each member’s contribution to the group. Had it not been that special “magic” that John, Paul, George and Ringo possessed, Benson said the Beatles would have nev- er been what they were. “No one could replace any one of the Beatles,” he said. “Each Beatle had a uniqueness about him that no one else could have given to the band. “None of the four were as strong as solo artists as the four together. These men knew who they were and what they had accomplished.” Each Beatle gained his identity as a Beatle first and then as an indi- vidual. “Read the papers and the members are re- ferred to as ex- Beatle Paul McCartney or ex- Beatle George Harrison,” Ben- son said. “The Beatles gave each member an iden- tity everyone could relate to. “These members made up probably the only band whose members’ first names could be mentioned and everyone knew who they were.” The Beatles’ magic also worked as a barrier-breaker between stereotypes. Benson said the walls come crumbling down when 1964 strikes that first chord of a Beatles song. “We were doing a show in a park and there was a guy who look- ed like a law- yer standing beside some bikers,” he said. “When we struck the first chord of A Hard Day's Night, they went wild and began to sing along. “The barriers went down because there’s a common thing everyone’s doing and the stereotypes disappear. “There was another guy who had his seven-year old daughter on his shoul- ders, and she was singing some of the words. I’ve never been in any organiza- tion that had the cross-appeal and has affected two generations as 1964 when we play Beatles music.” BABY, YOU’RE A RICH MAN Behind the scenes, Beatles manager Brian Epstein helped launch Beat- lemania. “Epstein was a marketing ge- nius,” Benson said. “He had records sent to America before anyone here had heard of the Beatles. He had people put up signs in subways reading ‘The Beatles are Coming.’ No one had any idea what it was, but people saw it everyday. “When the Beatles hit the papers, people knew what the name sounded like and they recognized it.” Epstein also sent 5,000 T-shirts and had them distributed among college and high school students to prepare for the Beatles’ invasion of America. “When the Beatles arrived in New York, they thought there was a world leader arriving at the same time,” Ben- son said. “If you watch old film clips of the event, you see the Beatles looking around in astonishment at the massive crowd that was there to greet them. They thought they had coincidentally landed at the same time as a world leader.” The Beatles also helped new indus- tries such as amplifier manufacturers get started. “When they played in Shea Sta- dium at New York, football announcers’ horns were used because up until then, nobody played stadium concerts,” Ben- son said. “The loudspeaker system didn’t do well for carrying music, so the industry to make amplifiers so bands could play stadiums opened up.” urp 1 he Bea ties ga ve so m uch to us for so long; this is our tribute to the Beatles. —Benson 78 ?er at- ?e- snt ird up les tat rs, ke nd nd he ;w Id n- of ve ey id S- et i- 3’ 1, I- a e a Through Benson’s experiences with 1964, he has met some of the people who worked with and knew the Beatles. He met George Harri- son’s sister while in Florida. She cur- rently works for Dark Horse Rec- ords, Harrison’s recording label. Benson also crossed paths with Ah lister Taylor who worked for Apple Records, the Beatles’ recording label and he also worked a show with former Beatle drummer, Pete Best. Benson said he can’t imagine anyone who has not been affected by Beatles music. “Arthur Fiedler pick- ed up on Beatles tunes and put them to orchestra music,” he said, “It added so much credibility to them because after people heard this mu- sic played by an orchestra, they be- gan thinking, ‘Hey, maybe we ought to THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD take these guys more seriously “That has to be the biggest com- pliment an orchestra can pay you — to put one of your songs to Muzak or make an orchestrated version of it.” In his fourth year with 1964 as the Beatles, Benson said he never tires of the music, “I get annoyed some nights when I can’t hear well on stage, when guitars aren’t in tune or something else,” he said. “I get tir- ed of the driving and touring, but never the music.” Benson said he wishes every generation had a Beatles-like group to grow up with. “I’ve really benefit- ed from it,” he said. “If you think about it, they were just four guys from the working class who just hap- pened to become famous. And that's why I don’t think it meant much to them. “The Beatles gave so much to us all for so long; this is our tribute to the Beatles.” It began in October, 1961, when a man entered a Liv- erpool record store and re- quested a recording by a group called the Beatles. Storeown- er Brian Epstein did not have the record, so he called a number of re- cording studios to find if they had heard of the band. He finally tracked down the Beatles in the Cavern nightclub, an approximate 100 yards from Ep- stein’s office. Upon finding the group, he described them as an un- tidy bunch who played their music very loud. Epstein was impressed with the foursome and told New Yorker Magazine the group had “extraordinary quality and pres- ence that wafted itself across the cellar.” Epstein entered into a contract with the group and left his record store behind. He received a 25 per- cent cut for managing the band and felt satisfied, knowing he could help them and that he had gained the Beatles’ trust. He resisted the temptation of tampering with the band’s style and act but he did get the Beatles out of THE FIFTH BEATLE? tattered blue jeans and into tailored suits. Epstein also convinced the group to trim their long, shaggy hair. Epstein then tried to get the Beatles a recording contract with Decca Records, but the company re- fused to sign the Beatles on. The sound engineer was impressed with the foursome’s music and referred Epstein to record producer George Martin. Martin found Pete Best’s drum- ming abilities insufficient and recom- mended Best be replaced. With their new drummer, Ringo Starr, the Beatles faced a wall of protest as their fans shouted “Pete forever, Ringo never!” Although faced with opposition, the Beatles still drove many young Britons into hysteria. Epstein de- scribed to Newsweek in 1964 an inci- dent in which the Beatles had to be smuggled into a Birmingham concert hall by having them wear police rain- coats and helmets. Teen-age girls fell weeping into the streets when they could not obtain tickets to see the Beatles. From there on, Epstein traveled with the Beatles to the height of their fame until September 1967, when Epstein was found dead in his Belgrave Square townhouse of an apparent drug overdose. The rela- tionship between the Fab Four and their manager was said to have transformed Epstein’s life for the better. He was described as being lonely, self-conscious and intro- spective. Derek Taylor, one of Epstein’s assistants, told Newsweek that Ep- stein really “cared about them.” At the time of Epstein’s death, the Beatles had grown up and were beginning to go their separate ways. It seemed that Epstein had fulfilled his role in Beatlemania. One of those roles was to be the lu- bricating matter that reduced fric- tion between band members during their early years. Epstein held fast to the Beatles and traveled the rough and rocky road with them during their early years. He was the businessman be- hind the musicians and can best be summed up by George Harrison’s comment concerning Epstein’s death: “He was one of us.” 79 I S S U E S THE CONSTITUTION: an idea whose time has come POLITICAL SCIENCE DE- PARTMENT CHAIRMAN THOMAS MAGSTADT RE- FLECTS ON THE U.S. CON- STITUTION AND EXPLAINS ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND IN- FLUENCE ON WORLDWIDE DEMOCRACY. The idea that a liberal politi- cal system could be created by calling a meeting or that it could be regulated by a charter, in the manner of a social club or civic association, is in itself nothing short of remarkable. It could only have been conceived by individuals imbued with the spirit of the Enlightenment — an era in which, unlike our own, few seriously questioned the power of ideas. The idea of democracy, the founders believed, would change the world. The dignitaries who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 did so for the pur- pose of inventing a superior form of gov- ernment — superior, that is, not only to the British parlia- mentary monarchy, but also to all others. It was this exalted purpose that led James Madison to speak of the “new sci- ence of politics” which informed the framers’ deliberations. This same spirit of exaltation caused John Adams to con- clude that Providence intended to use the United States of America for the “illumination” and “emancipation” of all mankind. This sense of mission per- meated the political thought of the founding fathers. But was it justified? Has the United States fulfilled this mission? Or were the framers simply engaging in the rhetori - Thomas Magstadt cal excesses for which politicians have al- ways been notorious? In world politics, Messianism is of- ten associated with interventionism. Nothing could have been farther from the minds of those who met at Philadelphia. The mission of Americans would be ac- complished not by armed impe- rialism, but the power of example — America would be a “beacon light” to the world. In fact, George Washington warned the fledgling nation in his farewell address to avoid “entangling alliances.” For 150 years, Washington’s succes- sors followed his advice. Not until the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Al- liance in 1949, did United States enter into an entangling alliance in peacetime. At the same time, the idea of America as the “policeman” of the world came into competition with the older idea of Amer- ica as a beacon light. Critics and defen- ders alike have focused on this new for- eign-policy activism and, in the process, have failed to notice that something ex- traordinary has been happening. Some- thing the founders believed would hap- pen. Something that is more powerful than armies and navies. More powerful even than nuclear weapons. Democracy has gradually been gaining ground, winning converts and re- placing dictatorships. It is nothing short of remarkable, really, that constitutional democracy of one kind or another now holds sway throughout all of Western Europe, from the Scandinavian nations in the north, to the Mediterranean re- publics in the south. In the 1970s, the only two exceptions — Portugal and Spain, joined the ranks of European de- mocracies. Across the Atlantic, of course, all of the North America is democratic. (In terms of land mass, Canada and the Untied States rank number two and four respectively — the Soviet Union is num- ber one and Mainland China is number three.) Brazil and Australia, ranking five and six in physical size, are both demo- cratically governed. Perhaps the most extraordinary democratic success story of all is India, an extremely diverse country with a pop- ulation of nearly 800 million, second ony to the People’s Republic of China, India has functioned as a democracy since gaining independence from Great Brit- ain in 1947. Finally, in South America, where military dictatorships long dominated .. . ennumerated rights and respect for “human rights” has become the nearly universal moral standard by which governments are judged. 80 the political landscape, democracies have sprouted everywhere except Chile, Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname (the last two are, at most, minor exceptions). Without hyperbole, it is safe to say that the 1980s has, thus far at least, been the Decade of Democracy, as South America has been swept by the winds of peaceful democratic change. Until recently, only Venezuela and Colombia had been gov- erened democratically for any apprecia- ble period of time. Today, the democrat- ic roll call includes Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Urugruay, as well as Venezuela and Colombia. In Central America, Costa Rica, whose president, Oscar Arias Sanchez, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987, has long been a functioning democracy (with no standing army!). Elsewhere in Central America, tender shoots of de- mocracy have appeared in El Salvador, Guatamala and Honduras, although the military continues to exert a heavy- handed influence over the civilian lead- ership of these countries. The previously mentioned roster of democratic nations is not a complete list. In the Pacific Basin, Japan and the Phi- lippines are nota- ble examples; in the Middle East, Israel deserves honorable men- tion; and in Africa, Gambia, Kenya, and the Ivory Coast are democratic re- publics. pie which Washington and so many of his compatriots believed would be our most lasting contribution, as the world’s van- guard republic, to the ultimate good of man kind. Let us remember that the consti- tution was the first of its kind in the modern world, which means tha t it is the oldest surviving dem- ocratic charter. Let us remember that the Consti- tution was the first of its kind in the modern world, which means that it is the oldest surviving democratic charter. It is, arguably, the most widely imitated, as well. Not in every respect: the separation of powers and intricate checks and bal- ances which the framers established is still one of the most complex (and, for outsiders, confusing) democratic me- chanisms ever put into practice. Other nations have seen fit to emulate the sim- pler British parliamentary model. Can the United States, in truth, take credit, as well as com- fort, in the latter day triumph of democracy in such far-flung places? Certainly not in any direct casual sense. But there can be little doubt that the idea of “America,” the symbol more than the state itself, has in- spired the dream of freedom for two cen- turies. When Henry Clay spoke of “the lamp burning brightly on this Western shore, as a light to all nations,” he was alluding to the self-same power of exam- The Map of Freedom Created by Freedom House January 1988 How then, can it be argued that the U.S. Constitution has been widely imi- tated? The answer, I believe, lies not in the framers’ orginial intent, but in an af- terthought — no doubt, one of the most important afterthoughts in modern his- tory. The Bill of Rights, as everyone knows, was not part of the Constitution signed at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. In reality, it was not overlooked by the delegates; rather, it was rejected on the grounds that political and civil rights were implicit in the very notion of repub- lican government. Any attempt to ennu- merate these rights would, according to the prevailing view, be redundant, if not counterproductive. Opponents, most notable the anti- federalists, repudiated the document drawn up at Philadelphia in part because the absence of specified rights and liber- ties. Patrick Henry (Give me liberty or give me death) fought hard for a Bill of Rights. In so doing, he helped create an important political tradition whereby a loyal and responsible opposition can challenge the majority opinion with out being ostracized or vilified. Washington wrote, “Upon the whole, I doubt whether the opposition to the Constitution will not ultimately be productive of more good than evil; it has called forth, in its defense, abilities which would not perhaps have been oth- erwise exerted that have thrown new light upon the science of Government, they have given the rights of man a full and fair discussion, and explained them in so clear and forci- ble a manner, as cannot fail to make a lasting impres- sion.” Thus, the Bill of Rights was the fruit of contention, not consensus. To- day, nearly every constitution has a list of ennumerated rights and respect for “human rights” has become the nearly universal moral standard by which governments are judged. In the fast-approaching twilight of the Twenti- eth Century, the “lasting impression” which Washington prophesied is deep and indelible. The founders would be pleased, but not surprised. After all, they wrote the script. Thomas Magstadt Gon e Fishing by Terry Sehifferns FISHING TRIP ADDS NEW DIMENSION TO LIFE I shimmy into the backseat of the Monte Carlo among the pillows, vials and quilts. Cher tucks my crutches in before shutting my door and taking her po- sition up front riding shotgun. Jim is in the driver’s seat awaiting his cue for take-off. “Everything taken care of?” Cher asks. “I guess; God those people piss me off. You?d think the money came out of their own pockets. They act like they don’t even know the first thing about getting welfare. I wanted “My right leg is a useless appendage that has left me destitute, at the mercy of the almighty Department of So- cial Services. ” to ask that blank-faced bitch in there, if you don’t know how to do this and I do, then why are you the welfare worker and I’m the recipi- ent? Shouldn’t we change places? Rut it’s done, I grovelled and they now have 30 days to decide if I’m eli- gible for benefits.” 1 feel like a big chunk of gravel is caught in my throat. I thought Pd weaned myself from welfare three years ago, but now I find myself at the end of the line again, filling out the same old forms. “You’re sure you’re done then?” Cher asks. I know the question refers not only to the bullshit at the welfare office but the bitching, too. “Done,” I tell her. “Let's roll then.” Cher nods at Jim who starts the Monte up, and we slip unnoticed out of town on 218. We cross the Iowa-Missouri state line, fishing boat in tow, destination the Arkansas Ozarks. Pm as much in tow as the boat behind me, my broken knee-cap swaddled in the dingy white immobi- lizer that has become the center of my universe.

I don’t even own a fishing pole, and yet Pm on my way for a week- end in the Ozarks. Obviously, this is not my idea, it’s Cher’s, Cher is my nursemaid, caretaker and decision maker. Now that I’m a physical, financial, emotional wreck, living in a codeine stupor that makes decisive thought a relic of the past, I am under Cher’s tutelage. Pm her burden and she likes it. In fact, she revels in my dependency; but while she revels, 1 take comfort in her car- ing. Before my bad streak of luck. Cher was sometimes my babysitter, other times my banker, often my bad example, but always my best friend. I found Cher at my back door the day bad brakes on the old Dodge car- eened me into my last decision: whether to wipe out the entire Lowell High School girls’ track team, which — at the precise moment my brakes went out — were jogging only 20 feet to my left in the opposite lane; or to slam into the rear of the station wag- on that had come to a sudden halt in front of me. I chose the station wagon and won a broken knee-cap. After the doctor strapped on the immobilizer and allotted me the script for the co- deine four, Cher came and gathered me up, along with my two children and our toothbrushes and moved us into her house and under her wing. My knee-cap has made slow pro- gress in the last two weeks at Cher’s but my psyche has plum- meted to an all time low, I have discov- ered the location of the spirit. It’s in the knee-cap. Just as sure as my knee-cap is broken, my spirit has suffered a frac- ture of its own — partially because of bad timing; only a month after I called it quits with Bob, Reliable, dependable, stable Bob. Always-there Bob. I mean, for God’s sake, the man was near perfect; in these times of mail room clerks and certified jerks, the man was a “But, I guess I’m not most women.

So I left the sedate slow lane of not quite matrimony and shifted into the swinging fast lane of single- dom. Well, my swinging single life has come to an abrupt halt, not that it was that swinging anyway. In a small town, like Lowell, there’s only so much excitement to go around and someone cornered the excitement market before I hit the scene — un- less the dating ritual is supposed to be considered exciting. It made me want to retch. The basic ceremony is to go to the bar with the same sex and get drunk enough to ask or give consent to the opposite sex for the sacrificial one night stand. I read Cosmopoli- tan's guide to love and dating: they said single was exciting and I be- lieved them. So, five years after divorce hassles, three years after welfare, and two years after TV dates and joint decisions with de- pendable Bob, I took the plunge to make my own de- cisions. Now look at me, I can barely take a piss on my own, A thick funk threatens to swal- low me whole. Before the funk got the best of me, Cher took notice and pre- scribed the cure: Road Trip. I resis- ted on the grounds of being physical- ly and emotionally unfit and flat broke to boot. Cher had already bribed her hus- band, Gary, into watching her kids and mine. She in- sisted the trip was on her and that a change of scenery would help “put things in perspective ’ I consented. And here I sit, taken in tow, watching the deserted Missouri farm houses slip by. At the helm is Jim, my only ob- jection. Not that I object to Jim per- sonally, I love him. We’ve been friends since jr. high. It’s just that Jim loves to fish. Fishing is his being, his essence, so to speak. Fishing is to Jim what a drink is to a drunk. Win- ters are merely intermissions in Jim’s life, a time to polish up and perfect his fishing stories. And that’s what I object to: his fishing stories, the fish he’s already caught and the fish he’s going to catch. A good fisherman has to be a good storyteller. And Jim is a good fisherman, the proof is in the stories. Jim can convince me that catching a fish that would fit in my back pocket is a feat comparable to conquering the entire western world. Cher said the trip to Arkansas usually takes eight hours and if Jim got started early that would be eight hours of one fishing story after an- other. Held captive in the back seat, I’d drown in fishing stories. They’d find me flopping and sucking for air by the time we reached Arkansas. Cher, realizing she had erred in her choice of travelling companions, solemnly promised to speak to Jim, She swore there would be a ban on fishing conversation for the duration of the ride. Secretly, I guessed Jim’s wife had bribed Cher to take Jim so she wouldn’t have to hear any Fishing stories for a few days. “You with us back there? Maybe you better lay off the codeine. You’re going comatose,” Cher chuckles. “I’m with you. Where are we?” I ask. “We just passed Macon. You’ve “The basic ceremony is to go to the bar with the same sex and get drunk enough to ask or give consent to the op- posite sex for the sacrificia1 one night stand.” been out for about an hour. Need a pit stop?” Cher glances back at me. “No, I’m fine,” I answer. I’m not ready for the major crisis taking a piss creates. “You’re pretty boring company. Anyone ever tell you that?” Cher jibes. “All the time,” I answer flatly. I’m not ready to entertain anyone with my brilliant wit. “I know Jim, tell her that story about Lake Geode,” Cher says. My head swivels left and right in panic. I’m waiting for Cher to turn around so I can curl my lip and show her my clenched teeth. She looks 83 back beaming and ignores my ges- tures, I curse her silently as she con- tinues to prompt Jim to tell his story. ‘‘All right,” Jim says finally. I fall back onto my pillows and begin sucking for air. “Let me see here, it all started with the boat,” he motions to the boat trailing a few feet behind us. W got a new trolling motor I for it but I I hadn’t been .A. able to try it out. So about a month ago, I decided to take it down to Lake Geode for its maiden voyage. 1 knew it was too ear- ly in the season to get in any real fishing. But I figured it would beat watching babe Winkleman pull in Junkers on the TV. I got down to Geode pretty early, the fog was just lifting off the lake, and there wasn’t another soul in sight. The whole lake to myself. I get down to the boat dock and unload the boat. I was ready to go when this little old lady stumbles out of the woods. I’m talking dense timber, “She marches right up to me and asks what I’m doing. I’m kind of dumbfounded, but I tell her I’m going fish- ing. Then she wants to know if I’ll take her to the other side of the lake. You know as well as I do, there’s nothing over on the other side: no docks, no campground, nothing but miles and miles of timber. I don’t know what else to do so I say, ‘Sure. Jim pauses. I know he does this for effect, but I can’t help myself, I lean up waiting for the punch line. Cher is absolutely giddy by now and presses Jim on. “You didn’t tell her what she was wearing. Tell her what the woman was wearing.” “Oh, yeh. By God, it looked like this gal had just stepped out of church, only she wasn’t carrying a purse. She wasn’t carrying anything. Just had on her fancy Sunday go-to- meetin’ clothes. This flowered cross, nylons, shiny black shoes all splatter- ed with mud. I keep thinking to my- self that she looked like someone’s lost grandma. “Well, after I told her I’d take her to the other side, she climbs right into the boat and straps on my life vest. Then she spots my camera, the 35 millimeter Nikon I got for Christ- been in a boat before, she can’t swim, and she’s always been terrified of the water. Never mind, I tell myself, cast on. I mean to tell you, this woman didn’t shut down for a good hour. She told me everything. Her childhood days, her pets through the years, her medical history, her marriage, her kids, the works. Then she tells me af- ter 30 years of marriage, her husband mas. Well she picks it up and starts examining it and slips the strap around her neck. There she sits in my boat, wearing my life-vest and my camera. She looked just like a damn tourist. What the hell, I figure I’ll drop her off and get to some serious fishing. “I head out. When I get to the middle of the lake, she asks if she can go fishing with me. I’m convinced then I’ve made a serious mistake. Blunder number one. But shit, I can hear the crappie calling, so I motor on over to my favorite crappie hole and start casting. No sooner do I get my first cast out and she starts tal- king. “She tells me how she’s never just up and left her. He takes care of all the bills, buys her a car, pays off the house, then wham-o, he splits. “By this time, she’s bawling, her face is puffing up, and she’s wringing her hands in her lap. I didn’t know what to do. I just sat there nodding my head and wondering, why me? Two billion people in the world and this old lady’s got to stumble onto me? I felt real bad for her, but all I could do is hand her my handker- chief and nod my head. “How can you fish when you got this little old lady bawling her eyes out in your boat? It was horrible. All I could think was this could be my gTandraa. You know what I mean? Finally, she gets a hold on herself. I 81 TTLtrre figure this is my chance, Iil take her back to the dock and drop her off and still be able to get in some good fish- ing. “We get over to the dock and she starts apologizing. She tells me she’s sorry. She got carried away and she won’t do it again. Would I please take her fishing with me? What do I do? I say ‘Sure “Off we go again. This time I chose a spot close to the dock. I start casting. She picks up my extra pole, my Shakespeare graphite pole with the Rapala deep-diver lure on it, and starts casting. That lasts about five minutes before she snags it. I have to cut the line and lose my Rapala deep- diver. But I just smile at her and say, ‘No problem.’ “My Rapala deep-div- er - no problem, shit! “I wasn’t about to get her start- ed, though. No need to worry about that, she starts right back up. Pretty soon it’s me and her out in the boat with her bawling again. I sit nodding my head and she sits there talking and bawling. I’ve had it by then. If I hadn’t felt so sorry for her, I’d have thrown her over like a big carp. “But I figure, what the hell, fish- ing just isn’t in the cards for me to- day. As soon as she lets up some, 1 tell her I have to be getting home; the wife will be worrying about me. I lie, but I didn’t think I could take much more. “We get back to the dock and she gets out and wanders back into the woods. It was like none of it actu- ally happened. But I wasn’t taking my chances. I hitched the boat up and started for home. “I get about a half mile down the road and, sure as shit, there she is walking down the deserted park road. My brain is screaming at me, ‘Keep Going! don’t be an idiot, let someone else find her.’ “Then I think of my Grandma and I pull over. I ask if she needs a ride to her car. She hops right in, like we were long lost buddies, and tells me I’m the nicest man she’s ever met, so kind. I ask her where her car is. She tells me she doesn’t rememher, maybe it’s over that way. It’s con- firmed then, this gal is a few bricks short of a full load. “I drive her over that way, no car. I drive over this way, no car. I drove that lady from one end of the park to the other. I’ve had it by then. I tell her, “Look here lady, I’ve driven you all over hell. Now where is your car?’ “You won’t believe this; I didn’t. She says, ‘T remember now. God told me to park it at the ranger’s house “I knew I was in deep shit then. She tells me how God has also given her permission to go into the ran- ger’s house, since he and his wife weren’t home, and brush her teeth and use their mouth wash. “I thought about just drop- ping her off right there. But of course, I didn’t. We rounded the curve to the ran- ger’s house and three cop cars were sitting out front. Cops were wandering all over. I thought I’d try just dropping her off at the driveway. I almost shoved her out the door, then non- chelantly tootled on down the road. I didn’t make it far, though, a cop car pulled in right behind me. I figured I better tell them the story. The cop was a young guy. He just kept shak- ing his head. “Come to find out, this lady was from Burlington, 50 miles from Geode. She’d gone to the store in Burlington and bought three sacks of groceries - they were in the backseat of her car. Then she’d gone into the ranger’s house and used their bathroom stuff and then wan- dered off into the woods. Some story, huh?” Jim ended with a little laugh. That’s it?” Pm aghast. “That’s it, isn’t it great?” Cher’s delighted with Jim’s production. She turns around to look at me and asks, “I mean, can’t you just imagine her at the store squeezing the toma- toes, when suddenly the slender thread that keeps us squeezing the tomatoes, in spite of all the odds, snaps.” that,” I answer, shrinking back into my pillows. I bet it was all those years of joint decisions. Squeezing toma- toes together, pinching poultry to- gether, sharing the mouth wash. The soft warmth of the pillows seeps into my back, contentment spreads through my hips and down my thighs, right down to my knee.
