Each of them and each of us places markers along the route chosen tor the adventure through the university experience. These markers may be incentives for higher achievement, stop signs yielding self-evaluation, or green lights, indicating you are on the right path, continue reaching, struggling and growing. Reaching, struggling and growing are individual concepts of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a progressive change students endure at UW-Eau Claire. It involves a change from a high school role to a college lifestyle. There are often struggles with the obstacles introduced during one's years here, producing more significant changes, just as the meeting of new and different persons allows one to better learn about one's self. Growing through learning more of one's self is a noticeable change all students experience whether consciously or subconsciously. The college atmosphere prompts this growth in students by subjecting them to often intense, full-blown college level courses; fun. yet trying dorm life; diverse university organizations; varsity and club sports; and once in a lifetime individual experiences. These elements are college. In their totality, they push you to become the person you represent when you graduate. This book portrays you, this change, progression and metamorphosis. The 1980 Periscope reflects the events, persons, groups, and community that are the means to this ultimate progression and metamorphosis in strengthening and growing as a person. I Perspective V, One new face at UW-Eau Claire this year is that of Brian Zirbel. a freshman from Green Bay. He lives in Towers Hall and enjoys the dorms because he has more space here than he had at home. He is generally pleased with all the aspects of Eau Claire's campus life, he said, particularly the setting. Being an outdoors person. Brian likes the location in the surrounding woods. He was also surprised with the friendliness of the people here. As an accounting major, Brian has taken some difficult classes but he hasn't found it a problem to complete his homework. He finds himself with plenty of free time to play tennis, football, and do whatever he pleases. He believes that some of the classes are too large and overcrowded, although they are small enough to be personal. He said he seems to enjoy college life more and more everyday. For Sharon Golombowski from Adams, MN, going to an out-of-state school doubled her expectations. She expected to meet friendly freshmen and have a freer social life. In addition, Sharon expected more time on the weekends to relax, although she did anticipate a lot of daily assignments, long term papers and tests. After coming to summer orientation Sharon said she knew what to expect from cafeteria food. She said that she anticipated good food and service. Meeting people and building lasting friendships was another of Sharon's expectations. Probably the nicest surprise that Sharon encountered was that her dorm room ended up being a lot cozier than she ever expected. Many students enter college directly after high school; however there are some who choose to wait a year or two ... or five, as did Mary Jo Short. Originally from Neillsville, Mary Jo. a 23 year old freshman residing in Oak Ridge. She said she has come across problems of a different nature than those she believes the average freshman faces. For the past four years, she has been living alone and working at the Marshfield Clinic. She now finds it difficult adjusting to sharing just one room. The lood service's preparation of meals as well as other provided services are also hard for her to accept as she was used to doing all of her own household chores. Because of this, she finds herself with much more free time than she had imagined. Mary Jo believes she'll find plenty to do however, with the variety of dorm activities and the availability of sports programs. || Perspective UW-Eau Claire senior Donna Schuetz, a math and computer major from Monroe, believes if she had the chance to begin her four years of college once again, she would not have changed a thing. You learn through your mistakes. Donna said. When Donna was a freshman, her image of college was hard work, a lot of studying and meeting new and different people. One important aspect, she said, was discovering in her freshman year that studying is important, but people must grow socially, too, not only mentally during college. A lot of growing up is an interaction with the other people, Donna said. Kevin Stadler, a business administration and information systems major from St. Charles, MO., belieses college learning does not come completely from textbooks, but also from experiences. People must have a balance between studying and social activities, he commented. When Kevin reflected on the beginning of his freshman year, he said his expectations of college were totally different than what college was really like. He said that he had a completely different major and his expectations of college were more of what he was going to be doing after college than dunng college. Kevin lived on-campus for three and a half years and off-campus for one year. When you live on-campus you deal with people everyday, living off-campus you can be alone more often, he said. Tom Thelen, a nursing major from West Bend, thinks his four years have been a great experience. I got to know myself and have a better self image, he said. When Tom began school, his expectations of college were basically two ideas: a time to start over and a time to be more independent. Tom thinks studying is important, but added, people should not get so over-involved in academics; academics is only one-third of your education, the other two-thirds is learned from other activities. When Tom reflected on his freshman year, he thought he grew most, mentally, the first two weeks and the last semester of school. He said, The first two weeks I was pure lonely. I got to know myself and realized I was a neat person to spend time with. Student housing is more than bricks and mortar Douglas Hallatt Education does not end with the close of a professor's lecture. Instead, education extends into all facets of a college student’s life: academic, social, and spiritual, according to Douglas Hallatt. director of housing at UW-Eau Claire. “Housing is more than bricks and mortar, Hallatt said. It's a potential educational environment for the student. Hallatt has a special reason to be more concerned than ever about on-campus living; for the past two years Hallatt has lived in Towers, where his wife. Margaret, is the head resident of Women's Towers. Living here has given me opportunities to know students in all aspects of their life. I see them in a completely different dimension and they see me in a different light. They're more apt to come in and talk to me. he said. As a result, Hallatt is more sensitive to the student's viewpoints. I understand more of the student's needs, problems, and services rendered to them. he said, and that's positive for an administrator. And like students, he and his family also feel the lack of privacy and noise, he said. I listen to them come in from the pub on Thursday nights, from Wt: DounU HalUlt, director of homing; Bob Bmiel, JMOCUte director of housing; Chuck Major. atUiUnt director of housing. and it's helped me pay more attention to the problems. I’ve become more analytical about solving the problems with prevention rather than with restrictions. he said. Prevention means offering alternatives which arc attractive, enjoyable and accessible. Thus, Hallatt's brand of housing philosophy has made UWEC's housing a kind of model for other campuses around the country. Channel 10, cable television directed by students, social rooms in Towers, Oak Ridge and soon Governors, and rollerskating are a few of the alternatives Hallett has developed. The new social rooms, formal dining rooms and kitchens are very popular with residents this year, Hallatt said. The formal dining room is booked seven nights a week, and people come down in dresses and ties. Presently, more men than women book it, and it's nice to see. It's a way to be civilized, take part and have fun, Hallatt said. That feeling of civility is aided by the plush carpeting, modular chrome furniture, and stereo system that Tower's social room houses. On-campus housing is a good experience, but most students have the urge to move off after a couple years of such quarters. The Hallatts are no different. To be honest, I couldn't see living here for a lifetime, but for now the students are fun to be around. It's a stimulating atmosphere. For us, now. it works. 14 Mouung Bob Brisiel Housing is a people business and it's something Bob Brisiel, associate director of housing, enjoys. He sees his position as that of a teacher, accomplishing things in a quiet manner. Most of all. he wants to impart to students a feeling of empathy. I hope that when students come in to talk to me about conflicts and room changes, they leave seeing that I care. Brisiel said. I want them to see my attempts and perspectives. Although I can reason with most of them, he said, it can be trying sometimes. We are accused of being a conservative campus, but why should we make drastic changes when more people than we can accommodate are choosing on-campus housing? According to Brisiel, UW-Eau Claire's conservatism is the very attraction for many potential students and their parents. The campus is well maintained and clean, Brisiel said, and can sway a student's decision to come to school here. Another paradox is creating attractive, appealing residence hall life for students, then trying to encourage upperclassmen to live off-campus due to limited hall space. Chuck Major As an upperclassman, that decisive decision to move off-campus arrives when you are no longer amused by stereo wars at 3 a.m., freshmen make you irritable and wing happy hours are anything but. It's the time to see Chuck Major, assistant director of housing. Although he cannot look for you, he can give you information about leases, pitfalls to avoid and renter's rights. Throughout the year. Major conducts off-campus seminars for campus residents. In these 45 minute sessions, he covers basic contracts, misconceptions, and responsibilities of the renter and the landlord. The biggie is naivete about things involved with off-campus housing, Major said. It's important to get all agreements down in black and white. Many students assume the landlord's verbal agreements will be carried out. Major said verbal agreements are hard to enforce; having it down on paper gives you better legal grounds if a landlord must ever be taken to court. The housing office is a clearinghouse, listing service, and mediator between renters and landlords. According to Major, 85 percent of the landlords in the Eau Claire area list with the housing office during the year. Landlords in Eau Claire are generally good and fairly honest. Major said. Rent costs are high because some are just out for the money, he added. Right now. Major said, there are more places available than students to fill them. In the pressures of supply and demand, this will warrant that bad landlords shape up or get out of the business because students won't rent from them anymore, Major said. Over the last five to seven years, there have been more landlords while student demand has been steady. Student tenant union Being forewarned of the housing hassles does not guarantee an ideal landlord-tenant relationship. The Student Tenant Union was formed in the spring of 1977 to inform students of their rights as renters. In many ways, the STU is trying to do what Major's office already does on a peer group level. In its two years on campus, the union has had problems in the large leadership turnover each year and lack of publicity to the students, according to lane Sorenson, this year's chairperson. The committee is a dedicated one which aims to inform students of its services through brochures and information sheets, she said. We're a preventative measure, here for the student's own education and to represent the students and their housing problems, Sorenson said. Problems Sorenson has seen are bad housing conditions, violations of leases and failure of landlords to return security deposits. 'We give as much as we can to the students, Sorenson said. 'We’ve been a success if someone comes to us with a problem and leaves with an answer. Homing 15 ---J I___, Residence Halls Katherine Thomas Katherine Thomas is the oldest hall at UW-Eau Claire. Constructed in 1954, it was the first dorm on campus and its basement was the student union for the campus. K. T. is now the smallest dorm housing 140 students, arranged coed by floor. A walk from K.T. to the library takes 10 seconds. The lobby is the meeting place for K.T. residents. Here, any time, you can always find someone studying, talking, playing games, debating philosophical issues, or playing guitar. Many activities are planned at K.T. The activities most popular among the residents are the Pizza Pig Out (the winner last year ate 41 pieces in an hour) and the Great lack-O-Lantem Contest. Last year, this dorm activity raised $200 for Citizen Advocacy, a local charity, fc Top: Sherry Knipfrr carves her pumpkin at K.T.' 2nd Annual Great lack-O-Lanlern Carving Contest, Above: K.T. won second place in this year's Homecoming Yell like Hell competition. Katherine Thomas Hall 17 Putnam Putman houses many freshman women and not too many upper class women. The hall is quiet with a sprinkle of rowdiness. Activities keep the residents united. Each spring there is a Springtime 5-and 10-meter road race. There are also dinner dances, Christmas activities and a Parents Weekend, Halloween parties, and happy hours. Kris Werner, head resident, coordinates the activities. Werner's husband. Bob. and their dog, Pintje, are also common visitors to Putnam. Each R.A. sponsors an inservice project each month. So far, there have been a blood pressure screening, a health and exercise club, and a seminar on managing personal stress. Many resi- dents practice the piano in the front lobby. Others come to the lobby to exercise while others visit the reception desk to buy pizza or pop. Putnam women appear to be weight conscious this year and many of them are out jogging each morning before 7 a.m. The large lawn in front of the hall is used for volleyball and softball practice, frisbee games and winter snow sculptures. During the spring, the lawn becomes Putnam Beach for those who couldn't make it to Florida or for those who want to keep their tan. The year ends with a hall banquet and slide show, fc lop: Dtnl thrives in the dorm atmosphere. The only cure is ambition and a dependable vacuum cleaner.

Diana Mungai. Murray Hall head resident, said. The goal of Murray Hall this year has been to create a positive atmosphere by providing activities enabling the resident to discover her role in diverse settings and instilling a sense of personal responsibility and mutual respect for other persons in the dorm. This year Murray Hall’s dorm council and resident assistant staff worked towards creating such an environment. Social activities such as Dinner Dance, Parent's Weekend and Little Sister's Weekend allow the residents to establish and maintain relationships. The individaul wings of the dorm are involved in activities from formal dances to concerts to lectures and intramural sports, k top: Some lind I hr dorm loo noisy lor study, bul |jnr Pirii Ink Sirs down in a study lounge.

In addition, the Housing Office and Channel 10 television studio are located in Towers. The dorm sponsors many events each year for its residents, including a Halloween party, a Sadie Hawkins dance, trips during spring break, trips to the Guthrie, a trip to the Badger Gopher game, a dinner dance. It also sponsors charity events. This year it had a car wash for muscular dystrophy and in the past the dorm has sponsored telethons for varying causes. fc -lI -J I____, Residence Halls lower 21 Mt: Paul Komro ind Pete Utk work out in Town weight room.

Being next to the campus Recreation Center and recreation fields of upper campus provides the men of Horan immediate access to many recreational outlets. Horan's residents are known for their athletic prowess as many members of the varsity swim and basketball teams choose to live in Horan. During the year there are also football and basketball tournaments which draw many residents into competition. These tournaments generate enthusiasm and camaraderie within the hall that lingers long after the tournaments have determined the hall's best team. The dorm council of Horan is a group that takes pride in providing a variety of activities. Tubing, hay rides, picnics and an invariable party or two at Carson Park are the result of the efforts of the council. The council also cooperates with other campus organizations in promoting campus wide activities.Ik Z2 Moon —nJ---L Residence Halls Governors Governors Is a coed dorm wilh a closeness like a large family's. Governors has always been known for its wing activities within the dorm. Resulting from these activities, the students do not get to meet as many students from other halls. Sandy Higby. head resident, said. However. Governors is improving its communication and activities with other halls. The students appear to enjoy their contact with residents in other halls. she said. The hall closeness is apparent, however, in the students' interaction within the dorm. The dorm atmosphere is friendly and informal, suggesting camaraderie. One of Governor's features is its lobby delegation. The lobby is a gathering place for Students before, during and after classes, Higby said. Students watch other students go by. visit and tell stories, wait for someone to eat with and enjoy the mingling and friendliness. The lobby is the meeting grounds, the connection point between the two sides of the dorm. It is rarely empty and is often one of the loudest areas in the dorm, she said, fc Top left: Governors rnidrnh make uvr ot the ping-pong Utilities left: A lew members ol Governors family gather lor a liody shot.

Not home in the sense that you can do whatever you want, enjoy the privacy of your own bathroom or bedroom, but home because that's where you find people who care. Mary Bunnell, head resident, said. Sutherland women are active in many aspects of university life from residence hall government to campus organizations and honoraries. Sutherland Hall provides much in the way of social activities while still attempting to maintain an atmosphere in which students' personal and educational needs are met. Educational programs. speakers, and workshops are as much a part of hall life as are popcorn parlies, ski trips and happy hours! Sharing with and learning from International students is an experience which is new to many residence hall students. This year seven women from other countries and living in Sutherland and Bunnell said they're sharing the experiences they have had. fc Above: Sutherland rnidrnh give Iheir all at YcH likr Hell Right: Terry Urmjnn.

Bridgman Hall makes head resident Rick Czechowicz think of leadership, an effective hall government and a first class resident assistant staff making things happen (or Bridgman residents. He said he thinks of traditions: the marching kazoo band at Homecoming, the Community Concert for Kinship in the spring, the champagne brunch with the Oak Ridge resident assistant staff and the Rock-a-thon. Czechowicz also recalled amusing experiences. such as the time 32 guys, seven upper classmen and one resident assistant, hauled their mattresses down to the basement to have them fireproofed. He reflected on times that are fun, unique, challenging, frustrating, idealistic and realistic. Bridgman living is educational; he said he was learning about himself and others. Czechowicz said he'd like to say everything runs smoothly in Bridgman. But that's not true, lust as in any other group living situation, there are problems.

Oak Ridge Oak Ridge Hall is the newest hall on campus and houses 324 women this year. There are 11 resident assistants who coordinate the dorm activities and guide the residents. The building has two-person rooms, a formal dining room, a stereo lounge, kitchen facilities, study rooms, sewing facilities, TV k unges and a 22 hour a day desk operation for the service of the residents. Oak Ridge brings forth its own personality as it affords its residents the opportunity to participate in such functions as hall government. Parent's Weekend, cultural events, ski trips, intramural sports, costume parties, poetry publications and float competition at Homecoming. The staff and the hall council work with the residents in creating an atmosphere encouraging the interaction of students through the dorm's programs. These programs are designed to promote the understanding of the need to balance both individual and group rights, as well as responsibilities within the group living situation, fe Top right: A piano duct by Colleen Costello, soloist.

Ten resident assistants are each in charge of a quad (a set of apartments). Because of the location of the Mid-way Craig Court Apartments (near Shopko) it would be easy for the residents to feel left out of campus activities. However, efforts by the RA's and residents include the residents in campus activities. The apartments have had Homecoming candidates. Parent's Weekend, quad pictures and have a hall council. The apartments were established as UWEC supervised housing to fulfill a need for the increased number of students who wish to live in dorms. The students have overcome the physical barrier of apartment sectioning through the addition of the apartment's two study lounges, a central area for studying, hall council meetings and planned all-apartment activities.

Midway 27 r SAGA: New food service It's not mom's but sometimes it 28 food wrvkf This school year, the university food service contracted with SAGA, a food service firm from Menlo Park, California. SAGA provides for all on-campus food preparation. Coinciding with SAGA's arrival, the new computer identification card system was installed. The two have appeared to bring orderliness that many students and kitchen personnel felt was missing in recent years. The school's third food service in as many years, SAGA succeeds Professional Food Service (PFM) and ARA. Both had problems with small staffs, lack of communication, contractual disputes, and alleged skimpy course offerings. Looking for a more organized outfit, the State Purchasing Committee awarded SAGA the contract over PFM, however. SAGA had to agree to several university requirements such as unlimited seconds and an increase in main course offerings. With the issue of dinner identification cards last fall, the problems the dining rooms had formerly with students doubling on one meal card or going to different dining buildings in the same meal period were eliminated. The easy punching method saves time and, according to facility managers, will save SI 50.000 annually. Another significant change was a university decision allowing the managers all the needed payroll working hours to start the year successfully. This allowed student workers the training necessary from full-time union workers to result in a stable schedule of capable workers. Although the menu is nearly uniform campuswide, the managers of the different dining rooms add their own preferences.

The average weekly meal count at Davies Center is 10,000, so not all patrons can be pleased. A trip to dinner was described by a cross-section of students as everything from My best time of the day to Illegal, involuntary poisoning. Still, there is a conscious effort in the food service offices to offer the meal variety needed to satisfy the diverse crowd. The managers keep charts of attendance daily, with such notes as what picnics, parties, happy hours, or sporting events affected a particular meal. As an indication of SAGA's success this year is that business rose 10 percent over last year, a better indicator, reported one kitchen administrator, is that over 400 off-campus students signed up for meals on the voluntary plan. Training new staff members presented some early obstacles, as did post-Pub clean-up. Silverware and packaged food items were removed to dorm rooms at an alarming and expensive rate. Kitchen facilities were not completely adequate, personnel reported, in such areas as cooler space, electrical capacity, and storage accessibility. As the year went on, however, these problems were either remedied or adjusted. With so much of a student's budget allocated to food needs ($670 for dorm residents), something good should be expected. The popular opinion, a new one on campus, was expressed by one begrudging student, It's not expected to be as good as mom's, but sometimes it comes close. -Kevin Liner fc A new life The Hill: There's Each of life's goals seems lo include an uphill climb. For students on upper campus, there is a daily uphill climb that they will likely remember as vividly as any of their college experiences. The hill, as it is known on the UW-Eau Claire campus, is the stretch of Car-field Avenue that extends from Putnam Hall on lower campus, under the Hilltop Center, to Towers and Murray Halls on upper campus. Upon first seeing the hill and realizing that she would have to climb it everyday, freshman Sandy Scully, a Sutherland In search of ... Parking Around and around the blocks you go in search of the impossible-a parking spot. Ideally, one near campus and within walking distance to make it on time to your next class. This merry-go-round search continues while expensive gas is burned, valuable no way around it Hall resident, exclaimed, Oh wow, I don't think I can do it. The hill provides extra fun for upper campus students in the wintertime. Groups of students often enjoy sliding down the hill on various objects, including those pieces of roll-up plastic (you know what we mean). Probably one of the most beneficial services that the hill provides is exercise. Every year freshmen and students new to campus can be heard saying, I'm going to be in great shape after climbing this hill all year. time wasted, and headache number 13 develops. lack of parking is not new; it gets worse every year. Yet UWEC students continue to demonstrate unique ways of handling common parking frustrations and hassles. For instance, faking leg injuries by limping to and from parked cars in the reserved handicapped sections. Or to prevent tickets, handy water bottles have been used to remove little white marks from tires. Ik Me and my mom were here unpacking my stuff and all of a sudden this girl in a robe and slippers plops in and starts talking to me Laura Keefe, freshman from Oak Ridge Hall was startled, but soon got over it as did hundreds of new resident hall occupants. It's the casual camaraderie and easy friendships that constitutes hall life. Patty Villalobos, Lori Lucius, Barb Homann, Keefe, Sue Baker, Lori Miller, and Sue Rather discussed hall living as they watched TV and popped popcorn. All but Baker are freshmen and agreed on most of the advantages and disadvantages of such dose quarters. You make a lot of friends; you make friends with people from your hometown that you didn't know before. I've never been so poor-everything costs money. When you lived at home. Mom and Dad would give you some money to go out; now you have to give yourself the money. I never expected everyone to be so friendly. My girlfriends from home were surprised. Villalobos was blunt. With sisters you tell them off if you get mad at them, but here you've got to be nice because you see them every morning. You have to be so considerate. Getting along with people is not as hard as some imagined. Keefe thinks it's due to the fact that they're all freshmen, and all in the same boat, all the sophomores have their friends already. Keefe said. And you really have to grow up here; there's no one around to say that you can't go out. For all the freedom and friendliness, there are some disadvantages. Such as, I miss a room of my own. I can't turn on the radio or TV whenever I want. It's hard to study with noise outside your door. All you do is eat around this place. I hate it when people aren't quiet in the morning. But most of them are taking advantage of the closeness the dorm life promotes and are anxious to return next year. It's a riot! Lucius said, fc 30 Living Midway: A Typical? Although the Midway Apartments are considered dormitories by the UW-Eau Claire Housing Office, one look around clearly indicates the differences. Four people occupy each apartment, equipped with kitchen, dining room, living room, two bedrooms. It's not a typical dorm situation, and Cathy Collins, freshman from Elgin, Illinois, is happy with it. It's more of a family unit, she said. It has a sense of privacy that you don't see in the dorms. Collins, who expected freshmen to be more mature than she sees them as being, likes the responsibility of keeping track of bills and economizing. We're growing up by learning to pay our bills, thinking about not wasting jii.m. UK. 5£R(3E £TS electricity, and keeping the thermostat low. It makers you feel like an adult who goes to school, not a kid who lives at school, Collins said. Because it is run as a dormitory, there are resident assistants who were hired by housing, but are under the management of Barberg Real Estate Management Co. We have quiet hours, visitation hours, and formals, Collins said. We are a dorm. If given the opportunity, Collins said she would return to Midway next year. It's a bigger area, and you can entertain your friends without them sitting on your bed. And there's more of a sense of being able to get away from people. People are content here, Collins said. It's something to come home to. fc Commuting Bus headlights emerging faithfully through a morning snowfall. Fortunately it's not fatal There is a disease affecting many people during their life.

Scenery your eyes have memorized thousands of times. These are images familiar to students who commute to school each day. Students make a daily journey to ole UW-Eau Claire campus from the area. Most students travel by bus, automobile or car pool from Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls. Fall Creek, Altoona, Mondovi and other such towns. Most area students commute because they find it cheaper to live at home than in a dorm or apartment. But money saved by living at home is often spent on transportation-bus fare, parking permits, car upkeep and fuel. Students walking to school on rainy or cold winter days may feel driving to school would be an improvement. But few think of the problems involved in commuting. Commuting students are under the control of sometimes unreliable cars and drivers and unpredictable weather. If they do not own their own car, they are dependent on other students for rides. Dead batteries, heavy snowfall and missed rides often cause commuters to miss classes or campus appointments. Basically, non-commuting and commuting students' lives arc similar. School days, studying, friends and projects are similar; worries of apartments may be exchanged for automotive worries. And getting up early— whether to walk or to drive to school-ako feels the same. ence some sort of homesickness. Giannatasio said going to college and being away from home for the first time is a prime time for homesickness. The school dorms are a major place for homesickness to start. he said. Many students are tossed together to live in close quarters with strangers. No longer does the student have a private bedroom or mom's cooking. It takes time for them to adjust. Garrison said the causes of homesickness are varied. He said it could be caused by fear of the unknown, displacement, identity crisis and the lack of their support basis (home). Time cures a majority of the homesick students, Giannatasio said. There is so much a student can do in and around campus that homesickness is quickly forgotten. tiring 31 Off-campus life in a nutshell It's the kind of place that one will fondly look upon in about ten years. It's not that it's a bad apartment; it's just that it's so small. The problem is that the kitchen is the dining room, is the living room, is the study, is the den, is the rec room, said |im Kothe about the apartment he shares with Sam Hutchison and Rick Carlson above Challenger Sports World on Cameron St. Hutchison simply said, It's like living in your kitchen. It is small but that's due to it being space that has been converted into an apartment. Thus the floor plan is not ideal. The three men spent time fixing it up, adding carpet to the enclosed porch, painting over the institution green walls and filling cracks in the walls. But that's nothing out of the ordinary. Kothe said. Most old places need to have time spent in fixing them up because the people before you don't clean it up. Carbon admits it gets crowded, especially when everyone is cooking at the same time and when there's not enough hot water for the shower. But as long as everyone has his own room, it’s no big deal. Besides, it's just a place to live for a semester, Kothe said, which is why most people put up with the housing. We thought we could stand it for a semester, Kothe said. The three were December graduates. Besides, it's cheap and close to school. fe The shoebox was quieter Moving off-campus creates excitement for many students and with it often comes apprehension. One UW-Eau Claire student was both excited and apprehensive when she made the move from dorm life to life above a Water Street bar. She was excited because she didn't have to worry about visitation, quiet hours, warnings and formats. Escaping to the bathroom with her guitar at midnight for privacy would be a thing of the past. And showering with everyone else and listening to a group of girls try to flush 12 toilets at the same time would all be in the past. Yes, she chose to leave all these fond memories behind. But the hopes of getting peace and quiet and privacy were replaced by loud music till 2 a.m., and a drunk at her door expecting to be put up for the night. She also gets to deal with jolly intoxicated souls who just love to stand outside the bar and talk till 4 a.m. She said she wouldn't mind if they were quiet or if they weren't below her room. It seems to her that every drunk thinks that the other is deaf. But there are advantages to this, she said. It's a great way to catch up on gossip. She figured that since they're keeping her awake, she has the right to eavesdrop. (Not to mention how much fun she has at it.) It's quite interesting when you can recognize the voices from below! At first she said she thought dorm life wasn't right for her and now she knows that living off-campus isn't right either. She asks for the return to her shoebox, the ol' dorm room. Is Sorority houses Living off-campus incorporates longer walks to school, cooking one's own meals, plenty more cleaning and hassles with bill-paying. It often means a room to yourself, playing the stereo as loudly as you like, cooking what you want when you want, and having new found freedoms outside dorm life. Students in this off-campus housing live with these circumstances for a segment of their college life, perhaps two or three years. Then they move on to jobs and careers. However, several houses of women at UW-Eau Claire experience a type of college living allowing such an environment, but with extra dimensions incorporating a life-long bond of sisterhood. 32 living More privacy, freedom, flexibility and leftovers On-campus housing: it's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there. Rather, it's a good experience but most upperclassmen are ready for the rigors and rewards of off-campus housing after a year or two. According to Chad Mezera, |im Neuman and Steve Stringob, three of the eight occupants of 315 Summit Ave., off-campus life means more privacy, more freedom and a more flexible schedule. Living with seven other men is not as big a problem as it may seem. Neuman Sorority houses for sorority women provide this unparalleled bond for dozens of students each year. Everyday life goes its way, but is accented by sorority group dinners, panty raids, fraternity pranks, sorority retreats and chapter meetings. But more than can be explained through examples happens within the sorority houses to make this living experience different than others. Sorority sisters are living together, each day they share many aspects of college life that will never be lost because theyII be remembered at sorority reunions ten, 25 and 50 years from now. The sisters grow together through their sorority bond; a caring and loving con- said. I thought it'd be real hard with eight guys in one house, but there's only about one time during the day that everyone is here. Life out of dorm land is not without drawbacks, however. Mezera said he was naive the first year. You don't know what to check out. You read the lease carefully, but they're all the same. One landlord was slow with our security deposit and another gave us trouble with a parly we had once. sideration that few houseloads of college students can boast. They help each other, for in assisting their sisters in studying, working and cleaning a healthy living situation is created and prospers. Sorority house living is growing at UWEC as sororities fill larger and larger houses each year; more and more women are joining sororities and realizing that sorority house living is worthwhile, developmental, exciting and an extension of their sorority sisterhood. Through the sorority house, a chapter nucleus is designated for sorority members, as well as creating a projection of itself so sorority alumnae are conveniently welcome, fc Neuman added that you never think about getting mops and cleaning supplies. All that was provided for in the dorms. Other things are also taken for granted, such as laundry facilities and cooking for oneself. Neuman said that laundry is a hassle. Now you have to take out the car and haul the clothes to the laundromat. But you don't have to wait in line to do it. he added. Cooking is not a problem although Neuman and Mezera said lack of time makes them too dependent on things like Hamburger Helper, and leftovers appear much too often. But Springob added, I cook for myself-l know what I'm eating now. Overall, they're happy with the freedoms off-campus living allows. Living in the dorms was necessary. Neuman said, but there was getting to be too big a gap between me and the freshmen.'' It's no big deal Tom Christison's housemates are considerate, don't compete, and are great people to live with. Tom Christison's housemates are women. I was unsatisfied with the guys I was living with, Christison said. I needed a place to stay and my friends offered their house to live in. Christison said it's working out well. There's no competition among us, and that's important. There's no sense of having to out-macho anybody else, like it was living with guys, and you don't have to be as guarded. If I'm down, they really ask me to talk about it. We have good discussions over coffee and the women have an interesting viewpoint. As far as what other people think, Christison said he really doesn't care. The disadvantages are few. He enjoys the family feeling of getting together and sharing meals, which, he said, is more than he felt in his other living situations. It helps that they are also arl students, Christison said. It's really working out well. Housemate Lois Bergerson says it's no big deal. He needed a place to stay and it's really not that different. fc create life-long college bonds living 33 orjja n i .at ions oi jjani .af ions oi'jjan i .at ions oi’fjan i .at ions oi jjan i .at ions I Orxani jliom 15 Why do people join these organizations? There are as many reasons as there are people. Valena Burke, associate dean of students, said. They might be interested in what the organization stands for, she said. Burke said some people might join because they have friends in a particular group who they want to spend time with or the group might be related to a student's major. Students might also join because it can look good on a resume, as well as being an honor, she said. The types of members in each group are also numerous, but, as Burke said, Every group needs leaders and followers. Some people thrive on the leadership role, Burke said. Others are interested in the goals and purposes of the group, but because of time limitations can't actively participate, she said. Still others only pay the dues, Burke said. They join because it looks good on a record and it might make their parents happy, she said. You get out of it what you put into it, Burke said. Many students on campus are part of the Creek system, a system combining social and service fraternities and sororities. Social fraternities and sororities include both social and service aspects. With national headquarters for thorough organization and standard setting, each group concerns itself with high scholarship attainment, public service, locally and nationally, personal growth, leadership opportunities, organizational responsibilities and social activities. Without the emphasis on scholarship attainment and social activities, service fraternities and sororities are committed to the service of the campus, community and its members. Each of these organizations operates for the benefit of others in the community, rather than mainly grasping for personal growth. Greeks 38 When a number of college students with similar interests get together with a faculty advisor and register with the university, a general interest organization has just formed. There are many general interest organizations on campus dealing with students' interests. Through these organizations students may get involved with the campus, meet other students and possibly expand their minds on specific topics. At UWEC, the general interest organizations are formed around sports, religions, hobbies, ethnics, skills and other needs of students. The University Student Activities Office can provide students with information on the organizations and specifics regarding the meeting time and place of any university registered organization. General Interest 46 Group identifications are in the book index. Media Professional 58 Scholastic and leadership honor societies are often assessed with Creek letters, but are different from the social and service fraternities because membership requires a certain grade point average and often membership and participation in other campus organizations. Being invited to apply to an organization and then being asked to join is the beginning of being associated with the organization. These groups are often not especially visible on campus, since their goals and purposes don't always include campus and community service, fund raisers or rushing for members. Honorary The student media organizations provide UW-Eau Qaire students an opportunity to actively practice different aspects of journalism before graduating into that profession. The Spectator (newspaper). Periscope (yearbook), NOT A (semesterly literary publication) and WUEC (radio station) allow students both in and out of the journalism department to produce a particular division of media and sometimes receive a stipend for their work. Positions on these organizations are usually by application semesterly or yearly. The practical everyday application of what has been taught in the communication classes is a valuable and irreplaceable aspect of participating in one of the media organizations. Concentrating upon a specific discipline, professional fraternities and societies evolve from each department and area of study at UW-Eau Claire. Clubs such as these bring together students of an academic discipline and stimulate interest in that field. Because the group has a common interest, it is usual for the club to invite professionals in the field to speak to the group for the members' benefit. Activities of the club almost always revolve around the discipline for which it exists, advancing the knowledge of its members. Panhellenic Council Sponsoring an annual dance marathon to raise money for muscular dystrophy and coordinating sorority rush are just two of the activities planned and sponsored by Panhellenic Council. The council is made up of representatives from the three social sororities on campus-Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Delta Zeta. These representatives meet to decide on policies and plan activities for Creek organizations. Interfraternity Council Why We Are Greek Why we are Creek? Fraternities and sororities are two of the oldest organizations on any university campus. They exist because they are unique to the many other organizations. They are the other half of the well-rounded educations. It's through the Greek system of fraternities and sororities that Creeks have learned about the intangible skills—tho sense of belonging, brotherhood and sisterhood, organizational and communicative abilities, as well as leadership qualities-which can only be mastered through practice and experience. Creeks have emerged as leaders with academic excellence, spintual well-being and social service to the campus, and local and national community. Each year thousands ot dollars are raised through the Creek System to support a facet of organizational causes. From things as complex as a 32-hour Dance Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy, to raising money for the Heart Fund. Creeks have contributed to causes. Events such as Monte Carlo. Blood Drive, Sewer Party and Homecoming Balloon Sales all raise money. not for the Greeks, but for those who are less fortunate. Fraternities and sororities are not only concerned with service projects, they are actively involved in almost all of the 108 on-campus organizations and serve on committees such as Homecoming, Winter Carnival, and Student Senate (which involve the entire student body.). Greeks share in the interests of everyone as they learn and grow from practical experiences. Creeks are unlike many organizations that concentrate on one particular field of interest. Fraternities and sororities are continually setting high ideals and striving for excellence and diversity. Creek life is a common bond for all different individual interests. There is a place for everyone, each's ideals and efforts. University life isn't just dorm or off-campus living and academic pursuit to the Creeks. It's taking advantage of the opportunities for cultural and social enrichment, leadership development, making new and everlasting friends, learning about others, and even learning about yourself. Interfratemity Council was responsible for the freshman record and the all Greek picnic earlier this year. It also helped sponsor Greek Week, the Winter Carnival, and the Dance Marathon. There are four member fraternities on the council with three members each. The 12 men meet weekly to discuss events or issues concerning the fraternities. As the guiding body of the fraternities, it's our duty to act as a go be- tween, IFC President Howard Koth said. We arrange the calendar so everything is scheduled. We act as a billboard for fraternity activities ' Koth said. We work to improve the public image of the fraternities. J8 Grrri Alpha Kappa Lambda Alpha Kappa Lambda, a social fraternity, provides men with opportunities for service to others, cooperative living, and social experience. Howard Koth, AKL social chairman, believes that AKL means brotherhood and the friendship of a group of dedicated college men. AKL sponsors A Night At Monte Carlo each December where students gamble with play money. The profits from the evening go to a Christmas party for underprivileged children. Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity is involved with the local Boy Scout groups, accompanying the scouts on camping trips and working on scout planning committees. APO also uses car washes to aid Citizens Advocacy. The fraternity also sponsors auctions, using goods donated by local merchants, helping support a retraining program for the parents of abused children called Parents Anonymous, as well as the blood drive to aid the Red Cross. APO-Blood Drive Alpha Phi Omega had its annual Blood Drive on Oct. 29, 30. and 31. During the blood drive, 800,000 pints of blood were donated, said Dan Loichi-nger, president of Alpha Phi Omega. The majority of people who gave blood were students, loichinger said. APO. a service fraternity, has sponsored the blood drive for approximately 16 years, he said. APO works directly with the St. Paul Red Cross Blood Center when it plans the blood drive. The fraternity is in charge of publicizing the blood drive and getting people to sign up to give blood, Loichinger said. Then, the Red Cross is in charge of the actual blood drive. The blood drive is not a nation wide project, Loichinger said. Every chapter has its own type of service project for the community, school, nation or fraternity, he said. The Eau Claire chapter of APO sponsors the blood drive because, Loichinger said, the fraternity feels that there is a need for the drive and also the project is a worthwhile one. Grrrk 39 40 Greek Phi Sigma Epsilon Phi Gamma Delta Phi Gamma Della fraternity is known to many as the Fijis. Some fraternity activities are Fiji Island, Black Diamond Ball, ski weekend. Thanksgiving dinner, Purple Panther party, Christmas parly, pledge class kidnap and annual Halloween parties. The Fijis are also service oriented as they work for the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon in spring, and ran the game ball from Superior to Eau Claire for an MD fundraiser during the Homecoming activities. Each pledge class also does a service project. The 21 men of Phi Sigma Epsilon entered a float in this year's homecoming parade and sold more than 2,000 balloons to the crowd for homecoming day. Other activities include helping and participating in Greek Week, having a Christmas party for retarded children, and entering the annual spring dance marathon, sponsored by the Greeks. A swimming party, rollerskating night. Thanksgiving dinner and activities with the various sororities also kept them busy this year. Tau Kappa Epsilon Tau Kappa Epsilon, a social fraternity, organized the mini-Olympics, had a Parents Weekend, and entered a float in the homecoming parade. The fraternity's schedule included several formal dances, service projects, and fundraisers this year. The infamous Tornado Watch, once the group's major fundraiser, was discontinued in 1976. They keep the money flowing however, with fundraisers such as the Keg Roll, the Sewer Party, the Shopping Spree and the pie throwing contest. AKL—Monte Carlo The wheels of fortune were spinning furiously at Monte Carlo Dec. 1 in Davies Center. Student gamblers for the evening received $200 in play money for betting at roulette, black jack, poker, chuck-a-luck and wheels of fortune. At the end of the evening, gamblers pooled their riches to place bids on prizes donated by area businesses. The auction heard bids as high as $400 million for several prizes. The Las Vegas night was sponsored by Alpha Kappa Lambda to raise money to brighten the Christmas holiday for needy Eau Claire children, said AKL member Howard Koth. Because of a fantastic turnout, AKL was able to donate money to the Kidney Foundation and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Koth said. Gambler Patricia White made her fortune of $00,000 at the black jack table. I've got enough here for graduate school and then some! she said. Erasing the Animal House image Fraternity rush, what is it? Who is involved? Why is it done? These are just a few of the many questions that are continually asked of incoming freshmen. The process of growth by new members in a fraternity is known by many as Rush. Rush is not a process of inhumane treatment or physical punishment. Rush is a process whereby the active members of each fraternity meet as a group and individually with men interested in joining that special part of college, a fraternity. Each fraternity has its own method of rushing, but all tend to follow the same basic guidelines in getting the men to join, becoming great assets to that particular fraternity. Through the elected office of rush chairman, lists of interested men are gathered and distributed to chapter members, who on an individual basis approach these prospective members and share fraternal interests and questions. Each fraternity is expected to meet as many of these prospective members as possible. Through this process interested men are then invited to an open house sponsored by each fraternity. The open house is an opportunity for prospective members to see the fraternity house, the fraternity memorabilia, and most of all, the brotherhood generated from the active members. After this open house, the active members vote among themselves determining those prospective members they wish to bid. The process of bidding done by all fraternities allows a prospective member to receive a formal invitation to join a particular fraternity. A prospective may receive more than one bid at which time it is up to him to decide which fraternal organization best meets his needs and interests. Though this may seem like a simple task, there is a lot that must be considered. The external make-up of fraternities are basically alike but it is the internal parts of each fraternity that make them different. They all have fund raisers, parties, chapter meetings, and weekend trips, but the uniqueness lies in each group's different images and personalities. These internal parts force the fraternity selection process to be a personal decision. Fraternities have meanings which cannot be put on paper, meanings which come only from experiencing membership. Pledging occurs after a bid is accepted. It is the process of gaining the knowledge of the fraternity chosen by the once prospective individual. The new member learns about the fraternity on a national and on a local level. He also learns about each member of your fraternity, his personality and characteristics. This learning develops brotherhood, the common bond, for the new member. The Greeks continually strive to erase the image of Animal House which shows immoral treatment among fraternity members. Fraternities are in one way an educational experience which grows larger and larger each and every day. Rush is the process perpetuating each fraternity at UW-Eau Claire. Crtfli 41 Panhellenic Rush means many things Panhellenic Council began its fall rush with a convocation on Sunday, September 9. The Convocation, or general meeting, was followed by a six day ritualistic tradition involving parties, decision making and sorority selection. For the 50 some girls who participated in what is commonly referred to as Rush Week, from Sept. 9-15, sorority came to mean a lot of things. For some, the chance to join a sorority meant a way to become more active on the campus; for others, it offered an opportunity to form friendships which would last a lifetime. Many friendships were even made through the sharing of participating in rush week. Kristi Stein, president of the Panhellenic Council, the organization coordinating the social sororities on campus described sororities as 'a discipline ... which is good for women, especially because of our changing roles in society. The trend at UW-Eau Claire now shows more and more women joining the sororities. The first two rush days the girls attended round robin parties, visiting each of the three sororities. These gave the members of Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta and Sigma Sigma Sigma, the three campus social service sororities, a chance to explain what makes their sorority unique. The parties gave rushces and sorority members a chance to become acquainted. Since much of sorority selection is personality matching, according to Stein, these initial impressions were very important. Following the third evening of parties was a day of silence, during which time rushees could not discuss sororities with any of the sorority members. The purpose of this period is for rushees to choose the two sororities that interest them the most. The following night. Thursday, preference night, rushees attended house parties with the two sororities they chose on silence day. As the week ended both sorority members and rushees had had several opportunities to meet, ask questions and consider the answers. The final stage of the process, bid matching, began Friday at 7 a.m. For the rushees this bid matching involved listing, in order of preference, the sororities they were interested in joining. For the sororities it meant compiling a list of girls they felt would fit in the best and benefit by their individual sorority most. These lists were then compiled by Valena Burke, associate dean of students, and by the advisers of each of the three sororities. The impressions and personalities of each rushee and of each sorority were thought of seriously. On Friday rushees picked up the invitations to join the sorority they had been matched with. The girls were then invited to the sorority houses for activities and thus began the second phase of their rush week being pledges to their new sorority. The sororities on campus have a very positive approach, Stein said, and the annual Dance Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy, blood pressure screening clinics, and parlies for underprivileged children are areas in which they perform community services. Since the sororities on campus average from 25-45 members, the girts get to know each other well, and close bonds can easily be formed. Stein said. Sororities offer a kind of education, Stein said, that can't be explained without being in one. A lot of the benefits are an intangible kind of thing. These benefits are the ones the once-rushees, are enjoying as they add sorority life to their college days. Alpha Xi Delta Greek 43 Alpha Xi Delta is a social sorority having sleigh rides, Christmas parties and a spring dinner dance this year. Alpha Xi Delta helped with the annual dance marathon raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The group also works on its own national projects such as the Heart Fund. This year the women also held programs at local elementary schools dealing with respiratory health. APO Sisters The Alpha Phi Omega Sisters had a canned food drive for the Salvation Army and a Christmas party for underprivileged children this year. One of the social events of the club was a Fung Goo, or wine and cheese party. There were 18 sisters this year. Delta Zeta Delta Zeta is a social sorority involved with various activities throughout the year such as Homecoming, Muscular Dystrophy Marathon Dance, Winter Carnival and Monte Carlo. Delta Zeta's main goals are to unite its members into lasting friendships during and after college. Sigma Sigma Sigma The women of Sigma Sigma Sigma, a social sorority, enjoy many activities, especially those involving children; babysitting for teenage mothers, making stuffed animals for hospitals, and having Christmas parties with the children at Northern Colony, all a part of the service aspect of Tri-Sigma. Tri-Sigma is also involved in campus activities including the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon. Homecoming and Winter Carnival.

The grandparent program provides elderly tau Claire residents with students ■ who visit with them each week. Greeks 4S American Indian Student Council Rye bread sales and pow-wows were two examples of the activities this year of the American Indian Student Council. They also participated in the Folk Fair. In addition to presenting a slide show and craft display, the council invited an Indian family from Milwaukee to sell its handmade beadwork and demonstrate the dancing and singing of their culture to the fairgoers. Indian Awareness Week was a main event for this organization. American Field Service The American Field Service sponsored many activities this year, including a slide presentation at the annual Folk Fair. The group also designed a button with an international theme. AFS occasionally meets with high school foreign students and their host families, as well as the foreign students at UW-Eau Claire and their host families. Black Student League The Black Student League sponsors activities that promote the culture of blacks, Wayne Strong, president of the Black Student League, said. Last year the group had an evening at a black night club. The evening provided an atmosphere similiar to that found in black nightclubs in larger cities. Strong said. This year there was a black culture week, which. Strong said, included various events including a soul food dinner. International Folk Fair “I've got a good feel for the countries from what they thought was important and representative enough to show. “All the food was tremendous. I don't have to cook for my family tonight. I think you would have to pay a lot of money to see the same caliber of entertainment at the Dells or Great America. These were some of the things people had to say after visiting the 1979 Folk Fair. The remarks reflect the variety of attractions found in Davies Center on Oct. 21 from noon to 6 p.m. as the International Festival Committee sponsored the gathering of representatives of over 20 countries. A Chinese girl leaned over the dish of mints, casually picking one out with a set of chopsticks. A boy of about 12 attempted the same feat, but only succeeded in moving the mint around on the bottom of the dish. Hold one in place, the girl explained. Use the moving one to pin the food against the unmoving one. Each participating country had a leader who coordinated the efforts of the foreign students, language majors, faculty members, and cultural group representatives in preparing their respective rooms. Arrangements generally began a month before the fair, as each group designed a theme and accumulated visual aids. Most rooms relied heavily on travel posters, crafts, samples of clothing, postcards, and cultural music. The International Folk Fair began in 1966 as a means of achieving cross-cultural outreach and increasing international awareness. Each year, in observance of United Nations Day. the public is invited at no cost to learn of foreign people and places in a comfortable, non-textbook atmosphere. This year, over 3.000 people attended. Filled to capacity, the Menominee Room grew quiet as the master of ceremonies introduced the next performers, two oriental singers. As the singers entered, a spotlight singled out their national (lag hanging behind the stage with all the other ones representing the participating countries. With a piano accompaniment, the singers performed The Wind On the Bridge. Following the song, they made a reference to the footbridge over the Chippewa River, which received much understanding laughter. Public relations for the fair was extensive. Twenty-five newspapers and a dozen radio stations carried a description and the time of the fair. All high schools within 100 miles were invited, as were churches and civic groups. All the funds for advertising, as well as all other expenses, are appropriated by the Student Senate Finance Commission. On a table was a jumble of full-page cartoons. On one side stood a Singapore native, on the other, an Eau Claire student. They were trying to find a cartoon they both understood, but either one or the other was always puzzled by the humor behind the drawings. When they picked up one cartoon about jogging they were finally on mutual ground, and they laughed spontaneously. Sharing the joke of the bumbling jogger, all the confusion about the other cartoons melted away. That, is seems, is what Eau Claire's Folk Fair is all about: knocking down baniers of misunderstanding and distrust so we may better understand our world. Oncval IntecrU 7 Christian Science Organization The Christian Science Organization was formed here in 1975. Its purpose is promoting the growth of Christianity. Constant healing is one of our main goals, Keith Freide. said. It's valuable to the Christian Scientist to get together with others from his religion for a peaceful environment away from the hectic everyday schedule of campus life, explains the former president and now secrelary treasurer Scott Lustig. This year we tried to bring in lectures on the subject of religion to bring about the Christian Science awareness on the campus and within the community, Lustig, said. Circle K Circle K's theme this year was Caring ... life's magic with special emphasis on the lonely child, the abused child, and the child in crisis. A major activity of the club was sponsoring a cross-country ski marathon for muscular dystrophy. Grcle K's purpose, simply stated, is serving, teaching leadership and providing opportunities for personal growth. Members of Circle K are often seen at any of the five homes for the elderly in the Eau Claire area. There they talk with and entertain the residents. In other areas the club counsels children in crisis. 48 General Interest Ebony Ladies This year the Ebony Ladies sponsored campus social events including the Blue lean Ball, Halloween Masquerade Dance, and a formal dinner dance. The group also had bake sales, car washes, and various other fund-raisers to obtain money for contributions to local health organizations. In addition, the Ebony Ladies purchased turkeys to go with the canned food it collected for needy Eau Claire families on Thanksgiving. El Rayo Espanol A Monterrey Night, Pan-American Week, a Spanish Dinner, a foreign language picnic are some of the events El Rayo Espanol, the UW-Eau Claire Spanish club, sponsored this year. It worked along with the Spanish honor society for several of these activities. Forensics This year, under the direction of Grace Walsh, forensic students had numerous practices, sponsored a high school forensics tournament practice in February and participated in the College Forensics Tournament as well as in the District Contest for area high schools. Forensics at UW-Eau Claire has achieved national standards since 1949. Cmnil Inlpml 49 Martial Arts Club The Martial Arts Club is trying to start an escort service this year. This would consist of escorting girls home at night so they would not have to walk alone, |ohn Magliocco, president, said. He said this in response to the problems of attack of females at UWEC. The club meets four times a week, about 12 hours of work-out each week for the members. Religious Studies Club The Religious Studies Club worked to provide a setting outside of school to study religion. It has worked to enrich both the individual and the group.

NCF is a sister organization to Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. Cmml Inter ! SI Representing students rights The Student Senate is comprised of five commissions; Academic Affairs, Legislative and Research Affairs, Student Life. Finance and the University Activities. There are also two committees; Legal Services and the Student Tenant Union. The Student Senate, through these commissions and committees, offers free legal help, keeps in touch with the state legislature and provides on-campus movies and concerts, Anne Hee-zen. Senate president said. Eau Claire was the first university cam- pus to give the students a voice in university affairs. Ale Reinders. vice president. said. It was W.R. Davies, a former chancellor of UW-Eau Claire, who first Davies Center is named after, who first brought an active student senate into the system. There are 10 on-campus and 20 off-campus senators on the senate. The purpose of the Student Senate is representing students' rights and interests in all student life and services,” Hee-zen said. The Student Senate represents UW-Eau Claire students at the university level, and at times at the city and national level, she said. You would be surprised at how far reaching the voice of the students at Eau Claire is. A lot of people don't realize this,” Heezen said. The Student Senate also takes stands on issues involving UW-Eau Claire students, such as solving the problems between bikers and pedestrians on the foot bridge and being active in the past Putnam Park bridge controversy. 52 General Interest Omit run Della Kappa, a national leadership honor society, was loaned in 1972 as Alpha Lambda Omicron Society and received its charter from ODK in 1974.

Professional 6S I WUEC increases transmission range, staff, audience The university's student-managed radio station, WUEC 9.7 FM, obtained a license to increase power from 10 to 740 watts in fall 1979. It took about one and a half years to go through the process of increasing power said Mitchell Cook, the station's student operations manager. The radio station originated as a simple carrier current in 1972. In 1976 it had 10 watts. In 1977 the station received clearance from the university administration to apply for an increase of operating power and stereo broadcasting capabilities. Next the station applied to the Federal Communication Commission and received the licenses necessary to build and use a new transmitter. The old transmitter tower, located on Towers Hall had a range of approximately five to ten miles. The new tower transmits over 40 miles. The change has necessitated an into wutc crease in staff. Cook said, and has also greatly increased the audience. We received hundreds of complimentary phone calls after we started transmitting with 740 watts, Cook said. From 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., when album rock is played. Cook said. WUEC has the biggest listening audience of any Eau Claire radio station, an estimated 5.000 people. WUEC's purpose is not just to provide entertainment for the student body or to duplicate the programming that can be heard on local commercial stations, but to provide an alternative to these stations. It has a variety of programs concerning education, politics, health, women and society. It also offers a wide range of music, including rock, jazz and classical, large blocks of time are allotted to album-oriented rock, classical music and a mixture of pop and contemporary music characterized by an easy listening style. The program schedule for 1980 included Today's Woman. In Black America. University Forum, Collectors Comer. Voice of Israel. To Your Health. The Next 200 Years, and other educational programs. Another function of WUEC is to support and serve as an extension of the curriculum of the speech department in the areas of radio and T.V. Broadcasting Activities is a one credit course requiring students to operate the station. The 60-member staff consists of students fulfilling class requirements and students receiving wages. WUEC provides facilities and training in a professional environment for students who wish to make broadcasting their career. The non-commercial station is supported by segregated funds allotted by the Student Senate. V ! TV 10: Unique to UWEC Although students here take TV 10 (or granted, it is a phenomenon unique to Eau Claire. It is the only student-run campus station in the United States. The studio, located in the basement ol Towers, was formed about three years ago. At that time, the station had only a black and white camera and poria-pac. In 1978, TV 10 expanded to (ull-color operation with three color cameras and two black and white cameras. The station broadcasts most of its own programs, including the Roommate Game. Team Trivia. Wing Feud and The Comer. The staff is thinking of reviving University Password. TV 10 also broadcasts some closed circuit shows and movies. TV 10 is branching out into educational television as well as entertainment. The most popular show is the '•Political Arena with Dr. Leonard Gambrell, associate professor of political science. Doug Warzyn, director of programming, said the annual fund-raising telethon is the biggest public service TV 10 provides. Last year, he said, ihey raised over $1,000 for cerebral palsy. All the work involved with TV 10 is done by student volunteers, Warzyn said. There are 20-30 students involved this semester. The students do all the involved work, including redesigning the backdrops for the sets. Depending on their participation, students are eligible to win honor certificates, staff buttons and jackets, or the traveling trophy. TV 10 is practical learning, Director of Production Dana Koch said, not just for loumaltsm students, who make up one-third of the staff, but for everyone. We're really not here just as a public service. Warzyn said. Our ultimate goal is entertainment for students. IV 0 67 Students recognized Honors week dedicated to Haas Outstanding students were honored April 21-26 in a week of special programs sponsored and organized by UW-Eau Claire's Honor Societies. The purpose of honors week is to give recognition to those students who achieve excellence in their academic programs said Ormsby Harry, assistant chancellor for student affairs. Harry said the idea for an honors week originated eight years ago when he was asked why outstanding students were not honored while in school but had to wait until graduation. He presented the idea to Phi Kappa Phi (|u-nior and Senior Scholastic Society). They agreed to sponsor it along with four other societies. Today there are 23 honor societies and they all help sponsor Honors Week. All but three disciplines are represented by honor societies. Harry said. This year's program was particulady important because it was dedicated to Chancellor Leonard Haas, said Harry. Haas will be resigning after the fall semester of the 1980-81 school year. Haas has long been a supporter of honors week, Harry said, and this year he spoke on Excellence-My Most Rewarding Experiences at UW-Eau Claire. The programs and speakers were organized by a steering committee made up of at least two members from each society. The week culminated with a dinner for approximately 1,000 students and parents, during which the honor societies announced their scholastic awards. Senior Monte Johnson was selected among several applicants by the steering committee as the keynote speaker. His theme was Entering the 80's with Excellence. Harry said that in the past outside speakers were brought in, but students were better received as the keynote speakers. Honors week has helped develop interest in honors societies. Harry said, which have grown considerably since honors week began. Eau Claire must have the largest ratio of students to honor societies in the state. Harry said. More than 1,000 students were recognized. To be recognized, a student must meet the membership criteria of the American College Honors Association. 68 Honors Wrrt Dance Marathon Only nine more hours to go! C'mon dancers, back on the floor! Cries like this helped JO UW-Eau Claire couples raise $8,629 at the fourth annual dance marathon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association March 14 and 15. Superdance couples danced for 32 hours, sponsored by various university and community groups, who often helped couples raise their donations. Contestants completed liability and medical forms before collecting dona-tions. Each couple had to present a minimum of $100 the day of the marathon. Almost every potential set of contestants met the requirements, Lisa Scribner, Superdance chairman, said, and only two couples dropped out during the dance. Premarathon meetings helped contestants with fund raising and motivation. she said. Several MD poster children appeared at the dance. Superdance music was provided by area bands and by a local radio station's disc jockeys. Area businesses helped provide food for dancers and prizes for both dancers and spectators. Superdance was sponsored by UWEC fraternities and sororities. As a diversion, couples participated in games throughout the marathon. They were encouraged to dress up during a pajama hour and a fifties hour on Saturday. Steve Mayer, a dancer sponsored by Towers Hall, said the numerous game, shower and snack breaks helped contestants. It's not like they're torturing us, he said, and it's for a good cause, so we don't mind. What helps me to get through is to know that I'm able to be out there moving around, even though I'm feeling pain. Another incentive was the champagne waiting for him, his partner and five other couples, afterward, he said. It's been a learning experience, through discipline, conditioning and just learning about MD, Mayer said. Plus I've learned a couple of new dance steps. As the course of the marathon went on, the smell of Ben Cay increased tremendously, he said, referring to the numerous breaks spent massaging sore backs and knees. Or. as Katherine Thomas Hall contestant Scott Bauer put it Saturday afternoon, Thank Cod it's almost over. The end came at midnight Saturday, with balloons released from the ceiling, the total of money raised announced, and prizes awarded. The first prize, a trip for two to Florida, was given to the couple raising the most money and lasting the entire marathon-Patti Andel and Howard Koth, representing Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, who raised $966.26. Other dancers won bikes or watches. Dancers from Oak Ridge Hall, Murray Hall and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity won second, third and fourth places respectively. Orncr Marathon W 3 events events events events events 70 Evrnt 72 Fowim Bella Abzug Bella Abzug, listed as one of the most influential and admired women in America, proved her popularity before a Forum crowd of 1.600 Sept. 12. The former Congresswoman and longtime activist opened the university's 36th annual Forum series by encouraging students to take a greater role in their government by using their right to vote, in her address Feminism and Activism. Nothing happens in Congress until the public reacts, she said. They're not a courageous lot and they don’t want to do anything that will cost them their jobs. Students currently have two major concerns, she said, with Congress considering reinstating the draft and President Carter's job policies. These could force both women and students out of jobs. It seems to me unnatural and ununderstandable that the governing of this country is done by one part of the population. she said. Women, she said, are still absent from industry and government. This type of lop-sided government is not reflecting the needs of the American public but of special interest groups, she said. We should organize an independent political force around a program of clearly delineated issues, Abzug said. And we should demand more action from politicians in their present political offices. In tracing sexual discrimination throughout history, Abzug said women have often been accomplices in their own oppression. It is up to today's women to rewrite these historical myths she said. The women's movement is not one organization or lifestyle, she said, but it's millions of people working for equality for both men and women. Abzug noted the wage gap between men and women remains unchanged and women constitute 63 percent of the population who live below the poverty level. Women should not be considered token firsts or seconds in any field of employment, she said. Deep rooted changes must take place in this country, Abzug stressed.-Laura Bossart. fc Donald B. Ardell Our society has developed the myth that the absence of illness is health, said Forum speaker Donald B. Ardell. Ardell, the developer of the wellness, concept spoke to the university audience as a forum speaker on Sept. 17. He said our society should leam to take a more positive approach to health in order to live a richer life. This concept is not an anti-medicine approach, he said. Modem medicine is a wonderful thing, but its limitations must be understood, Ardell said. People expect too much from doctors and not enough from themselves. Health cannot be bought-at any price ... yet Americans spend vast sums of money for the treatment of disease that could have been spent on the prevention of the sickness.” Ardell said. Everyone is unique and we all have individual problems, he said. ArdeH's wellness concept is an individual's combination of nutrition, physical exercise and stress management to suit his own needs. Ardell pointed out that it is not necessary to become a health food nut to live the wellness approach, but instead becoming aware of nutritional foods and eating more of them. It is also important to understand that how, is as important as what we eat. Physical exercise is the pathway to wellness, Ardell said, but not just body building. His concept incorporates physical fitness into daily activity for a better mental and emotional attitude. Stress management is also important in ArdeH's approach. There is nothing wrong with stress itself, but in the manner in which we handle it. It is essential to understand how stress can build up and be released in ways harmful to our bodies, Ardell said. Stress can work for our benefit, if used correctly, he said. To be successful in creating a wellness lifestyle, the individual must take full responsibility for his own health, he said. Ar-dell's concept is a positive approach to life-a rich way to be alive, with more highs and fewer lows.-Kathy Worzala k Forum 73 Arthur Laffer A hefty tax cut is just what this country needs. These old words were delivered with new life and exuberence by Forum speaker, Arthur Laffer, on Oct. 18. A prominent economist, Laffer is a professor at the University of Southern California, who has gained much recognition in his effort to revitalize the economy by revising our tax policies. He spoke to the university community on The Sound and Fury Over Taxes. Laffer expressed a lack of confidence in our government's tax policies. He said this country's tax policies are literally counterproductive. The crowd, consisting mainly of students, listened attentively as Laffer enumerated problems with the notion that doubling the tax rate will double tax revenue and explained the benefits of cutting taxes. The existence of a tax does not always indicate who carries the burden, Laffer said. For example, the burden of a sales tax falls on the comsumer buying the product, not the retailer. And tenants, rather than landowners, pay for property taxes in the form of increased rent. The more you work, the less spending power you have is another problem pointed out by Laffer. Laffer illustrated this by describing a black family of four who went from being welfare supported and earning an income of zero to employed and earning $1,000, yet they received only $140 increased spending money due to a tax rate of 86 percent. A tax rate like this explains the inner cities' lack of work incentive and high unemployment rate. Laffer said. Tax evasion is part of the reason for the indirect relationship between tax rates and revenues, he said. An increased tax rate is expected to yield higher revenue but the economic effect, explained Laffer, causes people to evade, rather than pay taxes. It's ironic, noted Laffer, that penalties for tax evasion aren't affected by what tax bracket you're in, but by what the benefits of evasion are. By cutting the tax rate, you will reduce evasion and avoidance, Laffer emphasized. The strongest, most persuasive case for Laffer's theory is past history and experience. From 1961 to 1964, the Kennedy administration enacted a dramatic 30 percent decreased tax rate with positive results. The gross national product rose 5.4 percent, the unemployment rate decreased 2.75 percent and the inflation rate was only 1.5 percent. In contrast, the Nixon era, from 1969 to 1975, doubled the capital gains tax and suffered a high inflation rate, a 3.4 percent decrease in GNP and increased unemployment. Proposition 13 is Laffer's most recent concrete evidence in favor of drastic tax reductions. California is now experiencing the largest economic expansion in its history. Government spending has increased in California since Proposition 13 was passed. Each tax cut in history has surged the economy forward, Laffer insisted. Laffer, a rapid, articulate speaker, entertained the audience for more than an hour with quips and anecdotes illustrating his topic. He didn't boggle the audience with technical graphs or bore them with complicated jargon; the straight forward simplicity of his solution is what makes his theory appealing to many.k 74 Arthur UHrr John Houseman The Seven Theaters. Perhaps a better title for |ohn Houseman's Forum presentation would have been The Seven Persons of John Houseman. The many different sides of the man were, although each worth noting, not as interesting to the audience as any mention of Houseman's film and television role as Professor Kingsfield on The Paper Chase. Some forms of Houseman's past theater involvement include work as writer, director, theater co-founder (with Orson Welles), editor and producer of the Mercury Theater on the Air. film producer and finally, actor. Houseman said of all forms of performing arts, theater is affected least by technological changes. It has endured for so long and so successfully because of its two major advantages over other media, he said. First auditorium space limits audience size. This in turn, prevents the constant drive toward the mass viewing dominating the film industry, he said. The second and most important advantage is the relationship between the actors and the audience, he said. The opportunity available for actors to see their audience's reactions to their live performances first hand can be so much more rewarding than being told by a survey that x -million viewers watched them on television. Houseman said. Between 1930-40 Houseman worked closely with Orson Welles. During this time the two men formed the Mercury Theater. Among its productions was the 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. which Houseman and Welles wrote together. Houseman founded Pelican Productions, a small theater in Los Angeles. He also directed the Los Angeles Professional Theater Group of UCLA. After 41 years of theater work. Houseman was offered his first acting role at the age of 70. He starred as Professor Kingsfield in the movie The Paper Chase, and later in the television series of the same name. Houseman was disappointed when the television series was cancelled because of insufficient number of viewers. He was pleased to add. however, that the show would soon be returning to television on a public service channel. During the short question-and-answer period following his talk. Houseman was asked whether he would act as Professor Kingsfield in the returning series. In true Kingsfield form. Houseman looked up without a smile and answered. You bet I will. Let anyone else try it. I'll tear 'em apart. Houwnun 7S Davis Epstein Stendahl Through the UW-Eau Claire's Forum Specials many additional Forum speakers are brought to campus, often in conjunction with some special activity of the time. This year, three such specials during the first semester included Adrienne Davis who spoke Saturday morning, October 13, at the Women in Business conference. Co-sponsored by the philosophy and religion department, area clergy groups the Ecumenical Center and the university. Dr. Krister Stendahl visited the campus for the annual Biblical Seminar November 9. William Epstein, a Canadian, spoke in September also as a Forum Special. As a former director of the United Nations Disarmament Commission, William Epstein, talked about the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and told the college audience that the arms race was proceeding at the fastest rate in history. Nuclear weapons, Epstein said, are now being used for deterrence, not for defense. However, Epstein said that he didn’t think a nuclear war would erupt between the U.S. and Russia because it would be mutual suicide. The public has to raise hell with the public officials, Epstein advised. People are the only ones who can force Congress to act. He said the public has to be educated on the dangers of nuclear weapons, and too much secrecy has surrounded the facts of nuclear warfare. The business world is a man's world, and for a woman to be successful, she must be well-prepared to make sacrifices and be willing to go through a self-actualization process, Adrienne Davis told the audience at the second annual Women in Business conference. A woman must evaluate herself and decide whether she has the personal qualifications which would allow her to be a successful business person, she said. She should have a great deal of motivation. perserverence and energy. The small business area is a risky one to be in, Davis admitted, since more than 50 percent of all small businesses fail within the first five years. If a person is well-prepared to meet the challenges they can succeed, she said. Davis is the founder and executive director of the Sight Center, an inner-city Milwaukee eye clinic, which has consistently shown a profit under her direction. He began his presentation with a prayer. One thing I ask of you Lord, is that I never use my reason against the truth. Dr. Krister Stendahl, dean of the Harvard Divinity School, said. In his speech, The jewishness of Jesus and his Gentile followers, Stendahl said the ministry of Jesus was consciously confined to the Jewish people. Referring to the teaching of Jesus, he said, I would like to venture the suggestion that there was not single thought that could not have been uttered by a Jewish teacher. The whole conceputal-ity of His teaching, Stendahl said, in form and content, was thoroughly Jewish. The difference between Jesus and Judaism has to do with the explicit and implicit claim of Jesus as the bringer of the Messianic kingdom, Stendahl said. Christians, he said, are guinea pigs. They are living the life of their kingdom in a world not ready for it, he said. Davit 74 fptlem Slendahl Narciso Yepes Ani Kavafian When presenting instrumental soloists, duets, and small musical ensembles to the university community, the Chamber Series at UW-Eau Claire considers outstanding musicians throughout the country and abroad each year, inviting only a few. This year, the Chamber Series' first guest was Narciso Yepes, a classical guitarist from Lorca, Spain. He performed on the 10-string guitar he designed in 1963. The audience sat spellbound as they watched Yepes fingers race across the guitar during Zapateado. a sonata resembling the music of a traditional Spanish dancer clicking his heels. Yepes also performed Spanish Suite reflecting a romantic sadness through the music of the 17th century, creating an illusion of being in ancient Spain. The second guest. Ani Kavafian, a well-known violinist, visited UW-Eau Claire bringing her interpretations of classical pieces. She performed flawlessly, demonstrating constant musical interpretation, never allowing technicality to interfere with musical qualities. She varied her performance by interpreting varying pieces romantically and powerfully as well as impressively. Her stage manner complemented her excellent performance, displaying confidence and authority, never taking a bow without her accompanist, fc Ytpn Kj� ifiM 77 Kramer Illusions of the Twenty-First Century A magician's acl can be fascinating; as long as you don't get too close. Close observation of an illusionist's actions could uncover the secrets that a regular audience would never notice. Illusionist Bob Kramer relied on audience members to help with his show Nov. 30, and I was one of those called upon to join this intriguing presentation. Tonight we’re going to examine the age-old question-What came first, the chicken or the egg?-Kramer said as I made my way to the stage to join Kramer and Dave, another audience member selected. Which do you think came first? he asked Dave. The chicken, he responded, as Kramer quickly told me to say The egg. Kramer went on to introduce the chicken-a simple green bag, and the egg-an odd shaped piece of wood. What followed might have fascinated the audience, but from my unusually close spot, the tricks of the trade became somewhat more obvious. Quick hand movements and a secret compartment in the bag, helped Kramer make the egg appear and disappear. With Dave and I standing close to Kramer he was able to take a shot glass from a table behind him, conceal it in his hand and finally, make it look like he produced it out of the bag. It all seemed quite obvious from my vantage point, but the audience seemed impressed. While we were standing close to him, Kramer indiscreetly took our wallets, which he later presented to the audience’s amazement and my relief-1 thought he might keep it and use the money to buy some more realistic props. My experience with Kramer demonstrated the importance of keeping the audience at a distance. With close observation, we might have seen how the woman suddenly appeared in a box, how a rabbit was created in a hat. how a flaming pan produced a duck, and how a cage of birds disappeared. These were only minor tricks included in Kramer's show, Illusions of the Twenty-First Century, sponsored by the University Activities Commission. He appeared to chop off another audience member's head in a guillotine. He presented The Sword Chamber, in which his assistant was supposedly penetrated by 24 evenly-spaced swords and he concluded his show with The Cremation -a coffin in which an assistant was apparently reduced to a smoldering skeleton, within 90 seconds. My job as a magician is to fool you. Your job as an audience is to catch me. The audience didn't appear to be committed to finding Kramer's secrets. The 75 people who turned out for the show seemed content to just sit back, marvel, and ask, How did he do that? fc 7« Kramer Arve Connection Dance Theatre Imagine a king cobra coming towards you, hissing and writhing in controlled muscular movements. What do you do? Simply sit back and enjoy the performance. That's what approximately 100 people did when members of Chicago's Arve Connection Dance Company performed their dance entitled Naja (the cobra). at.UW-Eau Claire Nov. 13. In this number, the group's director and choreographer, Richard Arve, led two dancers through the dance. Arve himself seemed to believe he was a cobra. Arve bases his dance techniques on his belief in the concept of energy flow and body placement. He believes that there is a constant flow of energy to all parts of the body which can be called upon at any moment from any one of the body parts. This energy allows the dancer to place any part of his body in any place dunng the dance sequence. A whimsical performance to Send in the Clowns by two dancers offered a change from the usually sad pantomimes accompanying this song. The company performed two unique and contemporary-if not futuristic-dances. The first, titled Currents, was done to music by Pink Floyd. It was an abstract dance, choreographed by Arve, to reflect the way electrical impulses continually cause one movement to charge another. It resembled a fluid jigsaw puzzle, constantly moving and fitting together with moves that are both daring and beautiful. The second, “State Street, also created by Arve, represented Arve's perception of how ghetto life and concrete-and-steel city life nutures mental illness. The characterizations of mentally ill minds done by the dancers were taken from people encountered by Arve. The emotional impact of this dance was by far its strongest point. Terrifying to observe, it left the audience stunned at the frailties of the human mind, fc Arve Connection Dance Theatre 79 Canadian Brass Milwaukee Symphony Using only the simplest of props-their instruments and themselves-the Canadian Brass gave more than a concert Sept. 24. The five musicians stripped away the shroud of stuffiness which sometimes accompanies classical music and breathed their own style of life into the music. Outstanding solos of the evening included trumpeteer Ronald Romm's delightful rendition of Del Staiger's Carnival of Venice. Tuba player Charles Dadlenbach's moment in the spotlight produced gales of laughter from the audience as he began his interpretation of Flight of the Bumblebee by Rim-sky-Korsakov. Halfway through the piece, Daellenbach motioned that his fingers were Retting tired, so Romm came over to assist by fingering the notes as Daellenbach blew into the tuba. Each piece was introduced by a member of the band who explained the background of the song or its composer. The Toronto-based band has toured extensively in Canada, the United States, Europe, China and the Soviet Union. They also made television appearances on Sesame Street, Camera Three and The Today Show. The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kenneth Schermerhorm, gave a performance at UW-Eau Claire Nov. 7 that strengthened the orchestra's rating as one of the top 10 symphony orchestras in the country. This was the Chamber Series concert of the year. ard Wagner's Overture to 'Die Meistersinger'. Wagner’s comic opera was performed as a parody of a medieval song contest found in Tannhauser. His opera takes place in Nurmburg, where the local group of Mastersingers is having a contest to determine the best composer and performer of an original song. The prelude opens with a march and continues with a web of notes and an expressive flute theme. Violins play the lyric Prize Song, and the prelude is capped by the simultaneous appearance of the three major themes. The program continued with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 Opus 92. The greatest of Beethoven's early symphonies was completed during the French invasion of Russia in 1812. Beginning with a slow introduction, the strings reach a level of intensity that introduces a haunting cello theme. The theme is balanced by a light shower of woodwind notes. The symphony concludes forcefully in a sonata-form. The concert ended with Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. After the death of painter-architect, Victor Hartmann, Mussorgsky attended a memorial exhibition of his friend's paintings. A few months later, the composer immortalized the artist's work in Pictures at an Exhibition. The work contains ten descriptive pieces, sketching scenes of children at play and the crowd scene of The Marketplace at Limoges. The work grows to an exhilarating close with the architectural drawing of the proposed Great Gate of Kiev, k New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble It was tum-of-the-century New Orleans once again for Eau Claire residents at the New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble concert March 10 in the Arena. the program selection included a variety of rags ranging from 1900 Scott loplin to contemporary New York Kenneth Laufer ragtime. The 16 musicians and conductor Gunther Schuller have a reputation as one of the finest ensembles in the country. The performers have played together for nine years at such places as Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and the White House. The ensemble opened with Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag, which was America’s first ragtime hit in 1898. The players skillfully combined several melody lines into a complete composite piece of music, emphasizing their subtle interweaving of syncopated countermelodies. Syncopation, Schuller explained, is the basis for ragtime music. Just over 80 years ago. untrained black musicians of Louisiana and Mississippi often took the popular music of the day and played it in a kx ser style, adding the raggedness that gave ragtime its name. One piece, Grandpa's Spells by Jelly Roll Morton, called for the pianist to hit the keyboard with both his fist and forearm. He also used his foot, exposing bright red socks and drawing laughter from the audience. Vienna Choir Boys By 7:15 p.m. on February 19 the line had begun forming outside the University Arena for the 8:00 performance. By 7:45 it had nearly tripled, winding around to the back of the arena. A total of 3,852 people came to hear the Vienna Choir Boys when they stopped in Eau Claire during their three month U.S. performance tour. The most remarkable aspect of the 24-member choir, besides the voices, is the age of its members. The youngest singer is only 10 years old and the eldest 14. With no words of introduction, the 24 boys marched onto the stage and stood patiently as their conductor sat down at the piano and began the first song. With their mouths open in O's and their eyes turned toward the conductor, they sang balanced harmonies and countermelodies flawlessly, the result of their intense training at the boarding school where they study. After each song, the boys bowed, some smiling freely, the others looking solemnly at their conductor, all seeming comfortable on stage. The choir also presented the one-act comic opera Abu Hassan, by Carl Maria von Weber. Here the Choir Boys portrayed Abu Hassan. a poor man of Baghdad; his wife Fatima; The Caliph (the equivalent of a governmental leader); and a group of menacing creditors. Their youthful approach to the story both amused and delighted the audience. New IngUnd Comervalory Retime Envemble Vienna Choir Boy B1 Old World elegance draws crowd; Viennese Ball brings people together The picture of elegance ... the social event of the year ... old and new world refreshments... formal and semi-formal attire ... this and musk from the University Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble I outlined the 7th annual Viennese Ball. The ball is an annual event open to the community and university students to raise money for UW-Eau Claire music students. The scholarship money is distributed among vocal, instrumental, and string majors, said Ada Bors. Viennese Ball coordinator. The Viennese Ball originated to allow the University Symphony Orchestra to play in a setting other than the formal concert hall, Bors said. The theme was picked to evoke the style of the Robert Straus era. she explained, because the German composer's music reflects a very romantk, elegant era. Along with the University Symphony Orchestra, directed by Rupert Hoh- mann, and the |azz Ensemble I, directed bv Henry Mautner. other professional musicians performed at the ball. Distributed throughout Davies Center, where the ball was held, were a barbershop quartet, a banjo player, an accordian player, pianists and German duets. An addition this year was the Salon Concert. Bors said, featuring the Eau Claire Musical Arts Choral group, which performed both American and German pieces as well as operetta excerpts. Bors said the new group was well received and the Salon Concert may become an annual feature at the ball. The food served is another attraction of the ball. Refreshments included champagnes and wines from the old and new world, tortes and Viennese Coffee, served in the ballroom area. Pretzels, cheeses and bratwursts were served in the Beer Garden along with an assortment of beers from the old and new world. A midnight breakfast included fresh fruit compote, croissants, rolls, assorted cheese trays, scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage. I am thrilled with the blend of people we had at the ball, Bors said. There were 500 student tickets sold. The Viennese Ball aims to get the community and students together for an enjoyable evening, she said. Chancellor Leonard Haas received a replica of the original seal of Vienna at this year's ball. Wilhelm Brauner, an Austrian trade commissioner in the United States, presented the seal and said this was the first such presentation in the Midwest. The seal is usually given as a special honor to foreign dignitaries, he said. The seal was presented to Haas because of UWEC's numerous contributions to the promotion of Vienna, Braner said. The seal will be displayed at the university. Vimnrsr Ball 81 Kingston Trio Helen Reddy The University Activities Commission (UAC) is an organization of students, affiliated with the Student Senate. It sponsors and coordinates an array of activities and programs on campus. Of the UAC's 12 committees, the concert committee sponsors low cost professional concerts, miniconcerts, and dances during each semester. The Kingston Trio performed one of the first UAC concerts at UW-Eau Claire this year on Sept. 22. Performing to a few hundred listeners the trio offered its biggest hits. These included Greenback Dollar, Scotch and Soda, and Tom Dooley. and from the war protest days, Where Have All the Flowers Gone. The original Kingston Trio formed in 1957. During its 10 year life the trio's lamakan-Calypso style of music was made famous and they recorded seven gold albums. Bob Shane, one of the original trio members, periormed alone and in a few years brought the trio back together with two new members, George Grove and Roger Gamble. The enthusiastic UWEC crowd brought the trio out for two encores. Another September UAC concert was given by Helen Reddy in the University Arena. Sept. 23, to an older crowd. Reddy opened with an energetic My Fantasy, and sustained the energy through her nearly hour-long performance. Her show was not supported by old songs; she introduced several new ones; Words Are Not Enough, Make Love To Me. and Tryin' To Get To You. She gave a physical performance; one as fit as her voice. Both were able to flex and bend, but not break. Reddy closed the show with I Am Woman, and her forthright manner kept it as fresh and inspirational as the first time. The audience enjoyed the show; a standing ovation brought Reddy back to the stage, fc IM Concert Gene Cotton Johnny Cash Nationally known singer-songwriter Gene Cotton shared both his pains and his joys-through music, with 250 people in the UW-Eau Claire Arena Oct. It. The song topics ranged from simple love songs to sad songs of a hard childhood. Cotton's strong sense of humor brought many laughs throughout the evening. It seemed only natural that the audience was relaxed; Cotton and his backup band. American Ace. established a friendly and informal atmosphere. A bitter tribute to the USA hit on nearly every one from politicians to reporters to the Ku Klux Klan to nuclear power plants. It showed the audience Cotton's reputation as a pop singer does not encompass his full potential. The intensity of Cotton's music began to be clearly seen during Save the Dancer. In this world of savagery and darkness. the song says, the dancer rises in his purity... so save the dancer. The band later improvised a 12-bar blues pattern as Cotton sang the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Cafeteria Eating Away From Home-Sick Blues. Cotton concluded the concert with Only the Lucky in Love Survive -an encore and crowd pleaser. The crowd was already cheering, listening to the band warm up. But the cheering crescendoed to twice the intensity as the stage darkened and a man appeared in the spotlight and said. Hello. I'm lohnny Cash. Reasons for attending the Johnny Cash concert varied among the capacity crowd filling the Arena Oct. 26. One woman said she just had to hear him sing Ring of Fire in person. One couple said they were there with their two young sons because the two boys were such Johnny Cash fans. The show's opener. Folsom Prison Blues, featured a film of prison scenes shown on a screen suspended above the stage. During the next hour. Cash played his most recognized songs, such as Green, Green Grass of Home. One Piece at a Time, and his number one 1979 hit. Ghost Riders in the Sky. Although Cash himself said, I don't dance or tell jokes or anything like that, his humor and sincerity created a closeness between him and his fans, fc Concert US Head East Rock-and-roll returned In style to Eau Claire November 11-Head East style. The sell-out crowd of nearly 2,700 rock fans at the University Arena that Sunday night loved it. The enthusiastic and vocal crowd was on its feet for most of the 90-minute concert. Head East opened with material from its new album, A Different Kind of Crazy. The crowd responded well to the new material, but four pancakes thrown on the stage told Head East what the crowd really wanted to hear. Head East was in top form as it played such favorites as Jefferstown Creek and Never Been Any Reason off the group's Flat As A Pancake album. The crowd ate H up. Urged on by flickering butane lighters, thunderous applause and whistling. Head East came back for three encores. The sell-out crowd took lead singer |ohn Schlitt's advice of get up and enjoy yourseH to heart. It was a fantastic concert and a great time, one con-certgoer said. Another rock fan said, Head East put on an excellent show-too bad we can't get more groups like them to Eau Claire. fc 8b Mrad last Marshall Chapman Marshall Chapman’s music shook the walls and seats of the partially-filled Schofield auditorium Dec. 1. The concert was in Schofield because the expected crowd was too small to suit the Arena. Rock 'n roll at its best: loud, rhythmic, driving. That's solid rock. That's Marshall Chapman. Maybe it wasn't so much the music shaking the seats as it was the audience becoming a part of the beat. Chapman, a six-foot, slender, blonde singer guitarist composer, filled the stage with her musical presence. Her stage movements have been called Mick laggeresque by rock reviewers around the country. Because she includes a bit of country in her rock, her style is said to have a hint of Hank Williams' musical style. But Chapman is anything but a copy of these two or anyone else. Her music is her own and it is presented raw, fresh and real. And that's the image she wants. She wrote the song I'm a Rock 'n Roll Girl to say exactly how she feels. As the concert began drawing to its close and Chapman finished her bottle of Heineken. the mood became increasingly boisterous, climaxing when the band finished the last song and ran off stage. A demanding crowd stood cheering, whistling and shouting for nearly two minutes before the band came back out to do two more songs. One of these was lailhouse Rock, originally made famous by Elvis Presley, one of Chapman's idols, t MinJull Chapman 87 Our Town When Thornton Wilder wrote the words in his play, Our Town, he could have written them for anybody—anywhere-at any time. The UW-Eau Claire theatre department opened its 1979-80 season Oct. 24 with 10 sell-out performances of Our Town. The play was written so that a narrator explains to the audience specific events and background leading up to those events actually portrayed. The only props used, other than costumes, are two trellises and occasional sound effects. The story involves citizens of a small New Hampshire town named Grover's Comers; in particular, the Gibbs and Above: Over Ihe djJly routine, Mrs. Gibb (Denise Anton) and Mr .

As she joins the other spirits of former Grover's Comers citizens, she wants to return for a moment to life. Visiting the past on her 12th birthday, she sees for the first time that her mother did not take time to look at her. because she was so wrapped up in her daily routine. Unhappy with the realization that people seldom take time to realize all that does go on in a lifetime, Emily returns to her grave where she sees George mourning. She realizes finally that living people are living in ignorance of what they could become. They are shutting themselves inside boxes. The impact of this realization not only strikes Emily hard, but also the audience as it secs that it. too, is trapped inside a life of routines.-Cherie Phillips fc SB Our Town Pocahontas left: Opt Jin |oHn Smith (Bob |ohnw n) rmounlrn P x jhonljy (Cindv Wulff) while u-inhinx (or food.

Through the play Pocahontas. presented by the UW-Eau Claire Theater for Young Audiences from Oct. 2-Nov. 8, the children watched 12 wild Indians and two Englishmen in a bit of humor and history. Two Englishmen, Captain John Smith (Bob Johnson), and his partner, the impulsive Henry Stuart (Tom Webster), are searching for food for the other hungry settlers when the play begins. They encounter lovely Pocahontas (Cindy Wulff) and her boisterous sister Woussicket (Ronda Bowe). The play continues as Smith and Stuart meet the rest of the tribe. Pocahontas gives her corn to the white men and is forced to become Wousskket's servant. The scene changes to nighttime, and Stuart and Smith return to get more com from Pocahontas. Smith is caught by the other Indians and accused of stealing Pocahontas and the com.

It's not the number of years in your life that counts, it's the life in your years. Homecoming week this year was filled with life. Into every event from the smallest to the largest. UW-Eau Claire students poured a lifetime of enthusiasm. Throughout the week this enthusiasm showed up everywhere: in posters, parties, float building, yell-like-hell rehearsals, alumni open-houses, and dinners. Buffalo Chipkickers. a bluegrass band from Penn State University, kicked off the week with a concert in the BluGold room. Preliminary voting for homecoming king and queen began on Tuesday. Tuesday evening was the paper airplane flying contest sponsored by Katherine Thomas Hall. A prize of $5 went to each winner in assorted categories. On Wednesday the Snake Dance drew participation from about 125 students who, linked in single file, ran through upper campus dorms. Crest Commons, across a field and down the hill to where they joined several hundred more students preparing for the Yell-Like-Hell contest. Chants and cheers in the Yell-Like-Hell contest reflected the homecoming theme of de-buzzing the Superior Yellow Jackets. First place went to Sutherland Hall. Besides planning its own alumni open house and dinner, its traditional Purple Panther Parly, and building a float for the parade, Fiji fraternity raised more than $200 for Muscular Dystrophy by running the football game ball from Superior to Eau Claire. After taking one dollar donations per sponsor, about 15 fraternity members ran 10 miles each to earn the money. On Friday, four musicians from our University |azz Band, known as the Naked Men, gave a concert in the Cabin, including songs by John Coltraine, Duke Ellington and Tom Scott. Entries in the window painting contest were judged that afternoon. First place went to Circle K for their window scene with the slogan We'll bee-wilder them. The Varsity Show on Friday night was the highlight of the week. The University Jazz Ensemble 1 opened the show and set the mood for a high-spirited, enthusiastic evening. Their renditions of Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong tunes brought the audience to its feet, clapping along and waving the Blugold pennants they had received at the door. The Singing Statesmen enchanted listeners with their four-part harmonies and barbershop songs. Closing with the UWEC fight song, they ran off stage and down the center aisle of the Arena. Several guitarist-singers performed songs ranging from Time in a Bottle to Needle and the Damage Done to The Hornet oming 1979 93 Every score of the 35-14 football game victory brought the crowd to its feet, stamping, jumping and shouting. The game itself was as much a social outing as a football outing. People in the stands wore masks and funny hats, threw confetti and passed several bodies up the rows. The University marching band presented a halftime show, featuring the tuba section. Alumni tuba players returned to play with the band. Homecoming week ended with several dances. Besides the ones off-campus, there was a university-sponsored semi-formal dance at Davies Center. The jazz band helped create a nostalgic atmosphere by playing old Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey era songs. At the same time in the BluGold Room, Tequila Sage was entertaining students with an informal concert of songs by such performers as Marshall Tucker and Pure Prarie League. When the dances ended. Homecoming Week also officially ended. But the students' pride and spirit for their University, made obvious throughout the week, continues to live.-Cherie Phillips Homecoming continued Monster Mash. There were also dance routines and imaginative skits. Following the Varsity Show was the Torchlight Coronation ceremony. Chancellor Leonard Haas led the crowd in a cheer for the spirit for which UWEC is so well-known. He assured the audience the evening was to inject pep. to try for victory on the field the next day and to express love for the University that is ours. Then came the coronation moment everyone was waiting for. As second runners-up (Sandy Bogard and Mike Schlaefcr) and first runners-up (Renee Williams and Keith Franklin) were announced, excitement continued to build. This year's king and queen were Colleen Ferg and Tim Payne, representing Suthedand Hall. As the crowd broke up and went either to Water Street or back home, students walked arm-in-arm with one another, feeling especially close and united by the same spirit. The next morning, the parade started lining up nearly an hour before it began. As the 58-piece parade made its way down State Street, children waved the balloons they had bought from Phi Sigma Epsilon members. Bridgman's kazoo band made a special appearance and played a wide assortment of songs as they marched. Oak Ridge and Horan Halls built the winning float together. The slogan was Well boot their buzzers. Saturday afternoon before the game, many students ate lunch at a University-sponsored picnic in Carson Park, fc top right: I97S HomMamin royally.

Celebrations began as long as lour days prior to Halloween with pre-Halloween parlies. Window decorations appeared on dorm windows throughout campus. There were even a few bats that somehow made their way into Hibbard Hall and flew around inside for a day or two. scaring students. Katherine Thomas Hall sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. All proceeds from the entrant's fee were donated to the Eau Claire Citizen's Advocacy Program. The smell of freshly carved pumpkins ako filled Hilltop Center during the SAGA food service-sponsored pumpkin carving contest. Ebony Ladies held a costume dance contest and gave the first place winners a prize of five dollars. But Halloween wasn't all contest and costumes. No, it had its share of parlies, too: Small ones, crowded one. dress-up parlies and Great Pumpkin parties, pri- vate and public ones. And Water Street parties. The hundreds of students who celebrated there were responsible and cooperative, according to Eau Claire police. Those police officers assigned to the Street seemed to be enjoying themselves, laughing as they walked among the dra-culas. M M's, Raggedy Anns, and Santas. With such strange things happening as ghosts dancing in a circle on the Street, a vampire giving too-real bites on the neck and men parading around in ballet tutus, it was not unusual to also see General MacArthur with his flag, or walking french fries or a moving bathroom wall. A few student trick-or-treaters made the rounds through a couple of the dorms, but were disappointed by the small number of people who were properly prepared for them. Local costume shops reported an increase over last year in sales of face makeup, masks and old and unusual clothing which students used to create their own costumes.-Cherie Phillips fc Right: Killer Bees (Dennis Argali.

Halloween 97 Ring Round the Moon Ring Round the Moon. a comedy by French dramatist lean Anouilh, was presented by the University Theatre from Dec. 4 to 8 in the Kjer Theatre. Produced in 1947, the play revolves around identical twins Frederic, an innocent romantic who has never grown up, and Hugo, a cynic with the emotions oil a child. The parts are played by one actor, Robert lohnson, who does an excellent job of portraying the two very opposite brothers, switching his entire acting style to play the parts of both brothers. Frederic, timid and thinking of nothing but Diana, possesses the ability to love, a quality his cold and impersonal brother lacks. Hugo, determined to disrupt the engagement of Frederic to Diana, the daughter of wealthy Messerschmann, devises a plan to make Diana jealous. Diana, played by Debra Peterson, is a spoiled girl who could not win Hugo's affection so she settled for his twin. Her father, played by Tom Siegel, sets out to help Diana get rid of Isabelle, Suzette Nelson, an actress hired by Hugo to make Diana jealous. Isabelle appears as an innocent and unaware child until she discovers Hugo's plan. Then she is faced with the dilemma of leading Frederic on while falling in love with Hugo. Madame Desmoretes, played by Laila Robins, adds to the wittiness of the play. She proceeds to change the affections of all the young people involved. Her sar- castic, comical acting kept the audience laughing while she spun around the stage in her wheelchair, which was almost as ancient as the character she portrayed. Robins' portrayal of the rich, authoritarian madame is superb. Sophisticated yet carefree Lady India, played by Anna Dinda, flits about the stage chased by Patrice, played by Richard Cash, as he tries to keep their secret affair covered up. Capulet, the faithful companion of Madame Desmortes, is played by Laura Hourihan. She has no mind of her own. and eventually reveals Hugo's plan after she encounters her long-lost friend, Isabelle's mother, played by Ronda Bowe. Bowe does a fine job of playing the boisterous mother who is excited about her daughter being noticed by a fine man like Hugo. Anouilh began writing plays in the 1920's, but didn't become popular until his 1937 production of Traveler Without Luggage. Since then, he has produced a new play in Paris almost every season, each one containing as much humor as the last. Ring Round the Moon is considered one of his lightest plays, fc 98 Ring Round the Moon West Side Story West Side Story ' the 1957 musical written to show the ugliness ot street gangs, succeeds in its attempts to portray this modern-day version of Romeo and luliet. The 39-member cast and 29 member orchestra combined talents with Director Wil Denson to give six sold-out performances February IS to 22 at UW-Eau Claire. During the opening scenes. Bernardo (Scott Kearney) comes to the fore as leader of the Puerto Rican Sharks and Riff (|im Detmar) as leader of the lets, a native New York gang. Throughout the show, the two actors captured the audience with their honest portrayal of tough, street hardened gang leaders. Kearney's characteristic stance, feet firmly planted apart, shoulders back, chin high, fists clenched loosely at his sides, and Detmar's wiry speed and agility left no question about the roles they played. Choreography for the musical was very well done, as was seen not only in the colorful dance at the gym, but also in the general dance scenes throughout the play. The various fights, and later the rumble, were done in an almost poetic depiction of violence. Intensity and focus of body movements added to the dramatics of the dancing. The first encounter between Tony (Ihax Cunto) and Maria (Chris Sngelos) came off like a meeting of two virgins-she in her white chiffon dress and he with his clean, blow-dried blonde hair and all-American clean-cut look, despite his leading role in the lets' formation. Cunio's appearance as Tony emphasized the tragedy of a young man struggling to break away from the life of a gang member, who met a gid. felt hope for himself and then died. His beautiful and strong voice nearly won his audience during the song Maria. Maria's image as an innocent and naive girl worked to her advantage. Her apparent sweetness adds to the sadness of the situation as she continually tells Tony she sees him only as a person, not as a member of her brother's rival gang. Other fresh characterizations included Bernardo's girl, Anita (Laila Robins), who was both Bernardo's supporter and Maria's sympathetic friend and confidante; and one of the Jets, Baby John (Richard Cash), whose on-stage innocence and fun-loving youthfulness endeared him to the audience. After Tony's ironic death, the gangs question their values and feelings. Baby |ohn in particular feels frightened after his leader's death and expresses his concern for the gang's apparent lack of concern for human life.

Showing art exhibits is a learning experience for the students as well. Pearson said. The Foster Art Gallery not only has exhibitions by guest artists, but allows students to show their artwork, Pearson said. Bachelor of Fine Arts majors are required to exhibit their artwork in their senior year. There is also an annual “juried exhibition. displaying student artwork. The artwork to be shown is determined by a guest judge, Pearson said. The ju- ned exhibition allows students outside criticism similar to what they will face after they have graduated. Not only do the students put on art exhibits in the Foster Art Gallery, but so do the UW-Eau Claire faculty members. “This allows students to see what their teachers are up to, Pearson said. “We have to bare our souls, so to speak. In addition to the annual faculty exhibit in the fall, there is a smaller faculty exhibit including a more extensive show of two or three faculty members' work. Throughout the year the Foster Art Gallery exhibits artists' works from all over the country. This year the Foster Art Gallery had a wise variety of exhibits, including a basketweaving exhibition by John McQueen; a wooden sculpture of a ship, Clear Sailing, constructed on the banks of the Chippewa River by Robert Stackhouse; paintings by Pop artist Roy Lichenstein; and an exhibition by metal-smiths from all over the southwest United States.

The Cabin is a coffeehouse in a quaint, rustic room adjacent to the Blugold Room, offering free entertainment throughout the year. Coffeehouses emerged in the 1950's with the Beatnik movement and continued in the 1%0's with folk singing. Coffeehouses are used to reflect the attitudes and changes in society through poetry and music, the Cabin's advisor Paula Stuettgen said. UW-fcau Claire's Cabin has been in operation since 1968. It is one of the oldest functioning coffeehouses in the state, Stuettgen said. The Cabin is sponsored by the University Activities Commission and is run by 20 students, the Cabin Committee. The committee is responsible for the sound and lighting in the coffeehouse, as well as auditioning and choosing the acts. Free entertainment is offered at the Cabin every weekend and various nights during the week. Student performers and local entertainers make up most of the acts at the Cabin, but professional entertainment appears every three weeks. The Cabin provides variety of entertainment. Stuettgen said acts include theatrical skits, poetry reading and stand-up comedy. For listening pleasure, musk ranges from jazz to classic Spanish guitar playing, from bluegrass to folk musk. Stuettgen said the Cabin has a monthly open stage, which allows anyone to perform in front of a live audience. Also once a month, the Cabin and NOTA get together for a night of open poetry reading. the Cabin 101 sturicMil lift slii(l(‘iil lift ■M|| I II| life sturionl lift Slll(l(Mll lift 102 Mud.nl IMe Student Life No one will dispute the tact that college is more than just books. After graduation, many of us will remember the happy hour, life in the dorms, Kraft macaroni and cheese, the walk to the laundromat, Saturday Night Live and backpacks crammed with books. Twenty years from now, some of us will even Ik able to remember most of the names of people in the organizations we joined. And some of us will join the thousands of Americans who, long after graduation, dream night after night about facing a blank blue book for a course they never enrolled in. But the problems of student life are often remembered longer than the good times. Some are problems unique to the student, while others are applicable to everyone. Many are personal problems, but others are common to all students. Students sometimes have trouble admitting they have these problems. But, in this section, the Periscope has attempted to face these problems. Admittedly, only a small number of problems are covered here. We don't have the room to cover all the problems the average student at UW-Eau Claire faces. A complete collection would take a book of its own. tor Student life I'm coming unglued, piece by piece. I want lo scream for help, but I'm paralyzed by confusion. Everything is moving so fast, all I see are blurred figures. I'm failing my classes, my friends, myself, and I can't even stop. Yesterday I called my mom collect. She said she sure was proud of me being in college and all because she never had the chance. I wanted to tell her what was wrong and hear her say everything would be all right. But I couldn't tell her the truth. She asked me why I sounded so funny. I just said I had a cold. Somewhere I've got to find my center again. But how can If This statement was made by a UW-Eau Claire student suffering from what is termed the student stress syndrome. It is a common problem on campuses across the nation, and UWEC is no exception. Richard Boyum. a counseling psy- chologist at UWEC, said approximately 17% of the students at UWEC come to the Counseling Center each year for help in dealing with some form of stress. In the nation as a whole, a Newsweek supplement reported, stress among college students “seems to have reached epidemic proportions. But what is stress? And why is it so prevalent among college students? Arthur Freese, the author of Understanding Stress. defines stress as a mobilization of bodily defenses in response to a physical, psychological, or social threat. These bodily defenses change the heart and breathing rate. Blood pressure rises, pupils dilate, palms sweat, and digestion is upset. Stress may also produce headaches, insomnia, chronic fatigue, poor memory- and panic. Healthy stress, or eustress, is necessary in life to provide motivation. But stress becomes harmful when it incapacitates a person. Kent Garrison, UWEC director of counseling said. A student in this state may be unable to concentrate, take an exam, complete work, or even function on a daily basis. The stress felt by college students is most often brought on by intertwined pressures, Garmon said, foremost of which is the intense academic competition in college. We talk about our model being excellence. and I think that creates stress. Gamson said, I don't believe at any time in your life you will be evaluated as constantly and as critically. This evaluation, of course, brings the possibility of failure, and the fear of failure is a primary factor in student stress. The student is scared he will be unable to fulfill the expectations of the university. of his parents and of himself. Garrison said. Studmt lifr 105 ... student reactions, solutions vary In addition to academic pressure, the student also mav be shouldering the burden of financing a college career. Married students with families often find themselves in this situation. Garrison said, and, as a result, suffer from stress. Complicating these other factors is the inner stress of identity formation. Students moving away from home have to adjust to different lifestyles. They are being c hallenged by different values and ness ideas and must begin making decisions about career choices. In short, they are searching for their niche in life. The situation is often compounded bv personal problems. There may be a death among the student's family or friends, or the student may be unable to get along with his roommate or those around him. At the same time, the student mav be feeling lonely and abandoned, having lost the support systems he had at home. It all contributes to the phenomenon of student stress. Students undergoing stress devise many ways to handle it-some good, some bad. Boyum said the reason many students handle stress pooriy is because they have ineffective coping mechanisms. College students are often kept in a state of prolonged adolescence. Boyum said they have never had to take responsibility and have been given little opportunity for developing methods to cope with stress. A student mav try to minimize things which are stressful by denying their existence. The student procrastinates to avoid facing stressful situations. Boyum calls this collecting psychological garbage. You need to confront situations, Boyum said, you can't deny them. Some students overeat or undereat in reaction to stress. Other turn to excessive drinking and chemical abuse. Boyum said roughly five percent of the UWEC students who drink are alcoholics or pre-alcoholics. Many ol these students are drinking to cope with stress, Boyum said. Some students consider suicide a method of dealing with stress. In the last 15 years, nine UWEC students have committed suicide. Garrison said. Boyum said some students who attempt suic ide do not actualy have a will to die but see suicide as a way out of a stressful situation. The way to manage stress. Boyum said, is to put a great deal ot balance into vour life. W'ork and play should be judiciously balanced, he said. Stress and Your Health. a pamphlet distributed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, recommends several additional ways to cope with stress. These suggestions are: do not take on more than you can handle, take time out to loaf a little, work off tensions with physical exercise, talk out troubles w ith a friend or counselor, learn to accept w hat you cannot change, get enough rest, eat right, and avoid self-medication. For students who feel they need outside help, sources are available on campus and in the community. The main source of help on campus is the Counseling Center, which is staffed by seven fulltime counselors. The students who live in dormitories can talk to their resident assistants or their head residents, who are trained counselors. The university also offers a class in relaxation through the physical education department. In the community, counseling can be found through the Ecumenical Religious Center, area churches, and the Eau Claire County Guidance Clinic. 10b Sludent lift Reasons for alcohol, drug abuse vary Beer, marijuana most misused drugs Friday is finally here! Time lo relax and unwind after a long week of classes. Time lo go out with friends. Time to PARTY! Partying, which usually means drinking at a party or at a bar. seems a common pastime at UVVEC. Though typically students party using alcohol, the possibility of using drugs is not ruled out by some the average of students who abuse alcohol ranges from about one in every- 10 to two in every eight students. About 100 to 200 of the approximately 10.500 UWEC students experience alcohol problems. Ramsey said. drug use. These problems lead to a need for escape, Ramsey said. “The drinking becomes a way of coping, Ramsey said. But when the coping mechanism becomes a problem, there is trouble. 'But alcohol is the drug of choice . . . it's legal and there's a lesser risk in using it' students. The amount of alcohol and drug use at UWEC is about normal, Ed Ramsey, a UWEC counselor, said. Eau Claire Is a typical academic environment. Ramsey specializes in counseling those with alcohol or drug problems. Ramsey said national studies indicate Among college students using drugs. Marijuana is most popular, though a small percentage use harder drugs. But alcohol is the drug of choice, Ramsey said. It's legal and there's a lesser risk in using it. Why do students drink alcohol or take drugs? Drinking is what college is all about for some students, Ramsey said. Sometimes college is the first time that students are on their own. It's a time to let loose. Another reason students drink may be the notion that drinking is one of the rites of adulthood. “Our attitudes predispose us to use alcohol irresponsibly, Ramsey said. “The potential for abuse is inflated. The campus environment itself is conducive to drinking, Ramsey said. With Water Street so close, it's easy for students to go down to the Street any week night. Peer pressure may be another reason for alcohol or drug abuse. Ramsey said. Students need to belong to a group. If that group drinks or smokes marijuana, a student feels a need to do the same. It then becomes difficult to quit because the student doesn't want to lose acceptance. Academic pressures or personal frustrations can cause excessive drinking or -Ed Ramsey UWEC counselor But college students since practically the beginning of colleges have gone drinking, Doug Haliatt. director of housing, said. And UWEC is no exception. Beer seems to be the most common type of alcohol students drink. Bob Crosenick, Brat Kabin manager, said. I'm not sure why. A lot of mixed drinks probably taste better. Maybe because beer's cheaper. Liquor is the next most popular alcoholic beverage, followed by wine. The mapr drinking nights in Eau Claire are Friday and Saturday, with Thursday being fairly popular, Crosenick said. That trend hasn't changed over the years. Crosenick uses promotional techniques to persuade students to come to Brat Kabin. There are happy hours and special nights where the prices of certain beverages are reduced. A big screen television attracts sports fans to watch events such as Blugold games or playoffs. Meriland Johnson, part owner of Camaraderie, uses a different technique. I don’t advertise any reduction of liquor prices. I only advertise specials on food. Camaraderie, a Water Street bar, also caters to the community. On Friday and Saturday nights, about 80 percent of the clientele are college students, Johnson said. For lunches, maybe 30 percent are students. And on other week nights the ratio is probably 50-50. Student Lite 107 lohnson doesn't advertise liquor sales bee ause he believes in moderation. Advertising liquor might lead more people to overindulge in liquor, Johnson said. “I think college students are more aware ol the consequences of drinking and therefore don’t overindulge as much as in previous years, Johnson said. On campus there are those who go home alter a night ol drinking or using drugs and never bother anyone. And there are those who gel caught. Campus Safety and Security gels involved in cases that deal with alcohol or drug abuse, Wallace O'Neill, director of Safety and Security, said, In two basic ways. The first is a telephone complaint of a party, O’Neill said. The call might come from a roommate, another police agency, a disgruntled student or a head resident. Sometimes a safety and security officer stumbles across such a parly. Or an officer may stop someone for drunk driving. O'Neill said. Students are tested for drunkenness, and if found to be drunk, are charged with driving under the influence. In the residence halls, alcohol is allowed in students' rooms, but not In hallways or other areas, Hallatt said. The only areas outside students' rooms where alcohol is allowed are the social rooms. Hallatt said. Students can have eight ounces of wine or cham- pagne with a three-course meal. Alcohol related incidents are the biggest discipline problems in the residence halls, Hallatt said. O'Neill agrees. Ninety percent of the criminal charges made by the security office are a result of consuming too much alcohol.'' O'Neill said. Charges could come in such forms as theft, destruction of property or disorderly conduct. Security averages two to three cases a week in court dealing with charges resulting from drinking. If someone damages property, it has been my experience that the drunker the person is. the more likely he is to be caught, O'Neill said. is the residence halls is the use of marijuana, Hallatt said. Containment and control is the strategy used to tight marijuana. Hallatt said. The resident assistants and head residents do a good job of monitoring drug use in the halls.” Though the abuse factor is higher among students, habitual abusers are a small percentage of the student population, Hallatt said. A complaint that is investigated can lead to several arrests, O'Neill said. All contraband arrests are referred to court. Reports are forwarded to housing, the dean of students and the counseling services. Of the 100 to 200 students with alcohol problems, about 10 percent come to the counseling center. Ramsey said. By the time they come in. the situation is pretty bad, Ramsey said. Blindness and denial of the problem is common. Things have to get pretty bad before something is done about it. Though students with alcohol or drug problems can be referred by campus security, they usually come to the counseling center because of academic or personal problems. Ramsey said. If another counselor learns of a student with possible drug or alcohol problems, the student is referred to Ramsey. When treatment begins, one of the first options is letting the student try to quit himself. Ramsey said. But most students can't quit on their own. If the student can't quit, he proves to himself that he has a problem and needs help, Ramsey said. The second biggest discipline problem 'The problem comes when the addiction and hurt to the body from the addiction is better to the person than the actual problems — Douglas Hallatt director of housing 108 Studml I ilc “The biggest problem is getting students in touch with reality, Ramsey said. Their problems are because of drinking not vice versa. They must realize that when they don't drink or use drugs, many problems leave. Once a student recognizes the problem, there are alternatives lor rehabilitation, Ramsey said. One is an inpatient program, where the student enters a hospital for treatment for about 28 days. The student is taken off the drug, and then rehabilitation and therapy are used to teach the person to cope with life. There is an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in Chippewa Falls and several in the Twin Cities. Another alternative is Alcoholics Anonymous, Ramsey said. There is an AA group in Eau Claire to help alcoholics. The third is an outpatient program where the student sees a counselor, such as Ramsey, or joins an alcohol education group. Before any treatment can be used, Ramsey said, the person must abstain from the drug. Some students need the inpatient care to abstain. Ramsey said he felt that men are more obvious abusers of alcohol while women tend to abuse other drugs more often. Women tend to use tranquilizers jnd other pills because ol a stigma against women drinking. The old idea that 'women can't handle life that well' makes doctors likelier to prescribe valium or other tranquilizers, Ramsey said. Having a physician-prescribed drug is respectable. Tranquilizers will give the same effect as alcohol. Men, on the other hand, drink liquor or smoke marijuana without fear of a stigma. Marijuana is sometimes accepted more than alcohol, Ramsey said. People who smoke marijuana tend to mellow out more. They don't attract as much attention as some who drink. Attitude plays a part for those on the harder drugs, Ramsey said. The illegality of the drug is more detrimental than the drug itself. Since the hard drug user needs to hide, he must associate with criminals to support his habit, Ramsey said. The addiction is basically the same as the addiction to alcohol, only the lifestyle changes more drastically to meet his addiction needs. Hallatt said he believes while the abuse of alcohol and drugs over the past years has increased, he finds the majority of students have tried drugs and have decided not to use them. College students, I feel, have their basic value systems formed by the time they go to college. The programs at the university only enhance the present values. Though everyone goes through the experimental stages, if the moral values don't allow for habitual use of drugs or alcohol, the students won't use them. Hallatt said he believes addiction is a direct result of other problems. Students need love and a feeling of self worth. If the student doesn't feel secure in those areas, the student will turn to something else to escape. The problem comes when the addiction and hurt to the body from addiction is better to the person than the actual problems. Then that student needs help, Hallatt said. Besides helping students with prob-k ms by counseling Hallatt said he feels something needs to be done to help them physically. The housing department tries to give alt mative ways to socialize other than drinking Hallatt said. One is the social rooms where students can cook meals and socialize without having four or five beers down on the street. Hallatt said. Another alternative is projects like working on TV-10, Hallatt said. Students are given equipment to work with. They are not criticized for the quality of their work. It is a time for them to meet with friends and work at a common experience. Another idea. Hallatt said, is the possibility of a health club facility on upper campus-something like the YMCA but with added features. Nutritionists, doctors and counselors would be on hand to help students set up programs for physical fitness as an alternative to excessive drinking or drug abuse. Right now it's only an idea, but in the next few years, it could become a reality, Hallatt said. Studrrrt IMr 109 Nutrition— from a machine? Nutrition, as defined in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary says ... The act or process of nourishing, or being nourished. Marie Brunk, who is a nurse at the UWEC health service said they have had some encounters with nutritional problems here on campus. She said that both over-eating and under-eating are definitions of malnutrition. Most cases the health service deals with center around the problem of under-eating. The victim usually does not eat consistently everyday, which, Brunk said, is important in maintaining the number of nutrients needed to carry on bodily functions. Do most students take into consideration the nutritional value of their eating habits? The Periscope found that the general consensus was No. Bob Schanowskik who cooks for himself off campus said. I don't really consider nutrition when I'm cooking. I just open a can. Similar replies were No ... Not really, ... Nutrition? As Brunk said, it is very important to eat three well balanced meals a day, although most UWEC students found that almost impossible due to their busy schedules. 110 Student tilr Wellness ... More than just fitness. Student IHe 111 it's total health I can walk up to McPhee without collapsing and rolling down the steps. I am not too overweight, I am within 10 pounds tor my height. I sleep well, almost 8 hours every night. I haven't had any major illnesses in a long time and I get plenty of exercise—walking up the hill each day and to Water Street on weekends. Sounds like it might have been spoken by a typical UWEC student. Many people believe that because they aren't sick, they are healthy. This is not necessarily true. It is this very misconception that the 'wellness concept’ is fighting. Wellness is the attainment of the highest level of health within a persons' own capabilities. It results when a person is actively growing and changing, making choices to allow themselves to reach a more successful lifestyle through the effective use of their mind and body. The wellness concept reached the UWEC campus the week of September lb-21. Special programs were set up discussing drugs, alcohol, stress management, nutrition and safety procedures. Donald Ardell. developer of the concept. was a Forum speaker at the beginning of the week. At the time student involvement was Wellness ... dent Wellness Committee, said the concept of wellness is not only for the students. The goal ol the wellness concept is for the entire campus, students and administration. In the beginning at the ruxmtime sessions mostly students participated. but now some administrators and secretaries are participating on a regular basis. The concept of wellness takes into account self responsibility and expression, nutritional awareness, physical fitness, stress management and environmental and safety sensitivity. The sell responsibility and expression aspect of wellness deals with individual attitudes and means of expression. It emphasizes self-confidence and feelings of personal value'. Diet is another aspect of wellness. Americans have been called the most overfed and under-exercised people in the world. People in our society use food as a reward and as a part of the socialization process. Recall the limes Vou were asked, Want to go down to Macs? or Who want to call out for a pizza? More often than not. what you ended up eating was high in cholesterol, fat, sugar, salt and calories. Today, there is a growing emphasis on natural foods and vegetarian diets. Nutrition and a general awareness of what food does for you is stressed in the wellness concept. You are what you eat, and to be well, an individual must realize the nutritional value of foods, Brunk said. Also there are things about preparing foods that people should be aware of. The wellness concept also involves this somewhat. When one thinks of wellness, one immediately thinks of exercise and physical fitness. People have definite feelings about sports and exercise and themselves as participants. Physical exercise is multidimensional, involving not only-physical movements but thinking and emotion as well. It is with this attitude that exercise is approached in the wellness concept; it is used as a means to get in touch with your body and mind. Fitness in wellness is built up graduallv (as should any exercise program) and minimal, and it appeared as if the wellness concept would not remain on campus. However, through the determination and effort of Marie Brunk. nursing supervisor at Health Services, wellness survived and there is a Wellness Program a Student Wellness Committee and a newly organized Wellness Club. Wellness is the concept of preventive medicine, Brunksaid, you cannot expect a rush to programs that teach pre- vention. when all along people sought care for a cure. Brunk said this partially explains why initial attempts at wellness programming on campus seemed to fail. Right now we have a student committee set up for wellness and have about 80 students involved in the noontime fitness exercise sessions, said Brunk. Sally Haas, co-chairman of the Stu- 112 Sludrnt til the individuals involved in the noontime activities follow a regular schedule of movements, moving continuously for almost the entire hour. Exercise is good for persons of all ages, Brunk said. Lack of exercise seems to speed up the processes which lead to body decay and disease. Exercise may improve self confidence and general attitude about life. Opinions differ on the benefits of sports and exercise for personality and emotional health; however physical activity helps one's general feeling of wellbeing and the care of emotional health. Wellness also includes stress management. No matter what you do, you are under stress. Even while sleeping, the body continues to function and react to the stress imposed by dreaming. Everyone needs a little stress or pressure. it makes you sharp, a little more alert, but there is a point at which an individual will fall to pieces if too much pressure is put upon him. Within the wellness conc ept, a maior emphasis has been placed upon stress management. Stress management is offering alternative ways to deal with pressure. Within stress management, an individual leams to recognize what stress is and how it affects them. People have to learn to relax. Silly as it sounds, it is one of the major problems students have, Brunk said. There are definite ways to relieve stress. Set realistic goals, vary routine, exercise regularly, take up a hobby or get involved with other people. Besides the direct involvement ol the individual's body and mind, wellness takes into account the environment, society and safety measures. The reason, Brunk said, is that people must be aware of the world and its effects upon them, both indirect and direct. In conjunction with the wellness program, Brunk pointed out university activities and c lasses can be used as a wav to wellness. Classes offered through the biology and physical education departments are often geared toward wellness including such topics as aerobics, bicycling, nutrition and sexual biology. The wellness concept is evident in other activities on campus and in the community as well. Inevitably every street, path, or sidewalk has been touched by the treaded sole of the running shoe since one of the most popular forms of exercise Is jogging. Fun runs and road races arc popping up all over. The UWEC recreation department sponsored a 50 mile run program. The Sheriff's department held a 10,000 meter road race for cerebral palsy, and there is even a national running day-October 19th. Running is an aerobic exercise, causing the heart to pump more blood with fewer boats and delivering more oxygen to the body with less effort. It also has been shown that running has beneficial psychological results. Individuals who run have a bigger self-concept and are more able to deal with stress and pressure. Bicycling is another popular aerobic exercise. Increasing numbers of bike routes are bring marked in the city and more bike trails are being developed. Bi- cycling offers an inexpensive means of travel while increasing cardiovascular endurance. Both running and bicycling are relatively flexible-individuals can participate when they are in the mood. But there has also been an increase in group exercise as well. Two such programs are lazzercise and Fitness Fantasia. laz ercise, begun by |udi Sheppard Missel in 1972, has grown in popularity and was recently approved by the President's Council on Fitness. Jazzercise came to UWEC as a mini-course. There are several community classes as well. lazzercise is jazz dance movements combined with music to create bodyconditioning routines. Fitness Fantasia is a group exercise that stresses the build-up to an optimal physical level. Offered several times at the Eau Claire YMCA during the year and also used as the basis for Ihe noontime wellness program. Fitness Fantasia includes endurance, strength and flexibility exercises. Whatever the activity, wellness means an individual has enhanced the quality of his life by maximizing physical, mental and emotional well-being. A person's lifestyle will influence his degree of well-being. The patterns of behavior in lifestyle will determine how a person looks, feels and performs. When preventive measures, such as wellness programs, are adopted and carried out as they have been in Eau Claire, on campus and within the community, each individual involved is likely to benefit, as well as society.

In dual meets, the team extended its winning streak to 33 matches during the last five seasons. The team also captured its fourth straight conference title and placed 14th in the NAIA National Tennis Championships, its highest finish ever. Scott, who has been coaching the tennis team since 1966, cited the ama ing depth of the squad as the primary reason for its success. “We could have switched around some of the top men on the team and still would have been successful, Scott said. In previous years, there has always been one or two outstanding players with the rest of the team sort of following behind. Scolt said. This year, however. Scott felt all the players were the same caliber. This balance was highly influential in winning the WSUC championship. Scott said. All six singles players finished in third place or better and all doubles teams won first place in the meet. UWEC finished with 52 total points, beating UW-Oshkosh, which finished second with 41 points. Some UWEC players felt the conference title marked the high point of the 1979 season. “Every team was out to beat us since we were the defending champions, said freshman Ken Cy-chos . Winning under this condition, the players agreed, made the championship an emotional lift. “There was a question as to whether we could win the conference title again this year. junior Roger Hyman said. “When we did, it was just excellent. The team advanced to the NAIA National Tennis Championships in Kansas City. Mo. Both its 14th place finish and its total of 10 points set school records. Hyman advanced to the fourth round, the furthest ol any UWEC player at the championship. The 1979 tennis team was led by senior Scott Nesbit. the team's number one singles player. Nesbit. described by his coach as calm and steady. finished the season with a 17-10 record. “He (Nesbit) was the team's leader all the way. Cychosz said, echoing the sentiments of his teammates. Teamed with Hyman, Nesbit formed UWEC's number one doubles team. Nesbit. easygoing and low-keyed, and Hyman, volatile and emotional, complemented each other on the court despite their vastly different personalities. There was a special kind of chemistry there. Nesbit said. That special chemistry seemed to characterize the entire 1979 team.

We had fine pitching and we led the conference in home runs, but we didn’t have the in-between hitting with men on base. Coach Meidl's comments attest to the problems facing the team. They left more men on base than they had hits. But the 1979 Blugolds were second in team pitching with a combined earned run average of 3.19. The mound strength was the direct result of recordsetting years by two young right handed pitchers: Dave Suchomel and Jim Schmidt. Suchomel led the entire WSUC in E.R.A., posting a 0.79 E.R.A. In 22 and two-thirds innings he gave up only nine hits, walked seven players and struck out 21. Schmidt was second behind Suchomel, recording a 0.98 E.R.A. In 18 and one-third innings he gave up eight hits, walked eight and struck out five. The hitters of the team were right-fielder John Hecht and first baseman Rick Reim. Hecht was voted the team's most valuable player hitting .315 overall and .280 in the conference.

Spring tporlt 119 Successful season despite mediocre record Looking at the final standings of the WSUC men's track season in 1979, one might think the UW-Eau Claire team was not extremely impressive. But to head coach Bill Meiser, the 1979 Blugold track team had an outstanding year. The Blugolds tied for fourth place in the conference with UW-Oshkosh, But they also won the second Blugold Metric Invitational, and capped off the year by sending five individuals to the NAIA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Abilene, Texas. front: Uv Byen, Dave Hoelt, Glenn Ihompton, Kim Soremon, Ron Moriearly, Brad Hinke, Dave Cook, |ohn StinUi. 2nd row: Mark Clary, Randy Wetael, Grant Dilly, |etf Deni .

Perhaps the team's most impressive performance was at its home track for the Second Annual Blugold Metric Invitational. Seven schools participated In the April 28 meet. Eau Claire amassed 172 points. 40 and % more than runner-up Oshkosh. LaCrosse finished third with 110 points. In 1979, the major weakness of the team, Meiser said, was lack of depth in some areas. We lacked depth in the weight events, he said, and in sprints and sprint relays. Although our field events have been as strong as any team we've faced, he continued. Meiser also mentioned that eight seniors of the 1979 team held school records. and one (Jay Byers) earned All American honors. The head coach had no disappointments as far as the season was concerned. We were respected by other schools, he said. They know they have to deal with us now, so we have proven ourselves. fc 120 Sprinf port SC ORI BOARD EC laOosse Indoor Meet 2nd Bremer Invitational 5th Milwaukee Indocx 4th Stout Won Oshkosh Indocx 3rd Conference Indoor Championship Sth Stout.'Super itx Won Conference Relays Sth River FaUs Invilational 5th Blugold Metric Invitalional 1st Conference Outdcxx Meet 4th Spring sports 121 Upper left: Mark Rnngstad.

Blugold coach Alice Gansel recalled when the team membership was five; last season there were 50 track candidates when the season began. Cansel credits the expansion and development of high school track programs for the increased number of college track candidates. Cansel's 1978-79 team was filled with freshmen who possessed great potential, lisa Tomasino, a freshman from Waukesha. made the Outdoor Track and Field All-Conference Team in the 440-yard dash. But. unfortunately for the Blugolds, Tomasino transferred to UW-La-Crosse. “Lisa will be a hard one to replace. Gansel said. But our strength is in our sprinters and relay teams, although we are hurling in the distance events. The relay team of Mary Kay Zipperer, Meny Flick, Cathy Nicolet and Tomasino finished second in the conference in the 440 and third in the 880. Sprinter Cathy Nicolet was the team's most valuable player. One of the highlights of the season was the Blugolds fifth place finish at the 13-team WWIAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, fc front: P«-rrv Quinn. Mao Kay Zipperer, lackie West.

Account coach Mike Revello. Best year in Blugold history Led by a strong nucleus of talented runners, the men's cross-country team had what Coach Keith Daniels termed one of its best years ever. The team finished second in the WSUC championships and 13th in the NAIA National Cross-Country championships. The finish in the nationals was the best in UW-Eau Claire history. We've got a real close group of runners that worked hard all year long, Daniels said. They've motivated themselves a lot and worked hard together to improve, he said. The team was paced by sophomore Jon Novak, who shared UWEC's most valuable runner honors with senior lames Spicgelberg. Novak was the team's top runner in every meet during 1979, earning him the team's award for best individual performance. The most valuable asset, however, was the closeness of the team, said the runners. There were certainly some outstanding individual performances during the season, but the most important point is that we were a close group. sophomore Garth Mohr said. Mohr was selected the most improved runner during the 1979 season. The whole team helped each other all year, he said. Mohr said the closeness of the team paid off the most at the Blugold Invitational, in which UWEC beat UW-La-Crosse, the eventual conference champion. Novak agreed. Everything really came together that day. It was really the high point of the season. Both the team and Coach Daniels said they feel the team will improve in the future. Our program is still young,” Novak said, but if we keep at it, we'll go up. Daniels said he was confident of the Blugold's chances next year. We'll have a good nucleus returning and the possibilities of next year's freshman class are promising, he said. The real strength of this team is the spirit. Daniels said. That should improve in the future just as it has in the past. he said. This is a real team effort and everyone knows he is contributing. k SC OCt BOARD iC Norseman Invitational 7th Stevens Point Invitational 1st Rivet Falk Invitational 8th TFA Mid-Amenta CoBegute 3rd Cross Country Championships Si OUi Invitational Tom Mm Invitational 7th Blugold Invitational 3rd Stevens Point Duel Meet 1st WSUC and NAIA District 14 Meet 2nd NAIA National Meet 13th fall sports 123 Blugold season marred by inconsistencies and forfeits There is a new concept emerging in the world of highly competitive athletics suggesting that a team or individual athlete is only as good as his or her last performance. Whether or not you consider the idea cruel and over-demanding, it perhaps best describes the 1979 Blugold football team. The Blugolds lost its last game of the year to UW-Platteville on a snow covered Carson Park field. Throughout the first half of the game the Blugolds suffered from an offense as cold as the weather and a defense as stingy as Ebene er Scrooge after a visit from the spirit of Christmas past. However, the team overcame its first half problems to play a competitive second half. And so it was throughout the season: a good offense one week and an ineffective one the next; a tight defense in one game and a generous one the next; an impressive win over a respected foe, only to be followed by an unimpressive loss to an undeserving opponent. Yeah, the consistency thing really hurt us this year, said a disappointed Head Coach Link Walker after the final game of the year. It seemed as if we could never make up for our mistakes when our opponents could. And of course, there were other things that hurt us. too. The other things that Walker was referring to may have included a sudden loss of spirit after the team found out they had been playing an ineligible player. As a result, they had to forfeit their two most impressive victories of the season. The coaching staff, athletic department and sports information office all denied that the forfeitures had any affect on team morale. But consider the comments of one of the players who wished to remain anonymous, There were a lot of guys hanging their heads around here after we heard about that, he said. Sure it had an affect. How would you like to work your tail off all season and then win two games like that (42-0 with Winona State and 33-18 with St. Norbert College) only to have to forfeit them because one of your reserve players didn't have enough credits? We went from 2-1 to 0-3 in one day. The Blugolds finished the season with a 3-7 record although it actually won five games. Besides beating Winona State and St. Norbert the team stole a second victory with a field goal by freshmen kicker Dave Blank from UW-Oshkosh. The team also won its homecoming game with cellar-dwelling UW-Superior and. in what was the biggest win of the year, upset in overtime last year's WSUC co-champion UW-La Crosse. Besides beating the La Crosse Indians for the first time in nine years, the La Crosse game had another surprising result. |eff Rath, a reserve tailback from Beloit, Wis.. surfaced as the Blugolds best running back. In 29 carries he gained 186 yards-only 12 yards short of the university's all-time record. Rath also became only the seventh runner in UWEC history to gain more than 700 yards in a season even though he only started 6 of the 10 games. Only a sub-par performance against UW-Platteville kept Rath from stealing the conference rushing title from UW-La Crosse's freshman speedster Reggie Raab. The Platteville game was a bitter loss in what turned out to be a bitter season. After the game, the Blugolds-concealing their frustration for a moment-walk across the field and shook hands with their opponents. Nice game. some of them were heard to say. You deserved to win.

(all sports 127 New coach hopes to improve inconsistent Blugolds A change occurred on the women's tennis team this past season when Marilyn Skrivseth inherited the head coach position from past coach Diane Gilbertson. Skrivseth. a native ol Minneapolis, coached tennis for five years at West Bend High School. She is a UW-la-Crosse graduate and a WWIAC state doubles champion. Skrivseth described the 1979 Blugold women's tennis team as “hard workers who've adjusted well to the coaching change. Skrivseth said anytime there is a change in coaches it takes time for the team (coach and players) to get used to working together. The style of coaching will differ as well as the expectations of the coach. It lakes a while for those things to line up,” said Skrivseth. Senior Kathy Stengel said one of the most apparent changes in coaching was the physical conditioning. Skrivseth incorporated more conditioning into the practices which Stengel said helped the team. The team motto, which Skrivseth taped onto each player's racket, is never give up, never give in. Stengel said that many times during a tennis match that motto gave her inspiration. The UW-Eau Claire women's tennis team had 12 members; six singles posi- tions and three doubles positions. The team finished with a 5-7 duel meet record and a 14-12-1 season record, including a 2nd place finish in the Whitewater Invitational. lunior Patty Stengel captured the number 3 singles championship at the conference meet, and finished the season with a 12-6 record.

Dedication overshadows disappointing season Blugotd Donna Schueike battle a Carthage opponent during tie UW-Eau Claire Clearwater Invitational Eau Claire lo l the match 2-0 Despite a disappointing season record of 10 wins, 24 losses and one tie, the dedication and perseverence of the women's volleyball team made the season a success. The season began with high expectations for a conference championship. according to third-year coach Bonnie Jano. A change in conference structure aided the Blugolds by eliminating powerhouses Madison and Marquette. Seven returning veterans and several talented freshmen also boosted the team's confidence. But injury, pressure and inexperience took its toll. In the first season match. Pat Steiner, the Blugolds' 1978-79 most valuable spi-ker and all-conference player, was injured and out for the season. From that point on, a series of inconsistent wins and losses forced the team into last place in the five-team conference. The highlight of the season came in September when the Blugolds won the University of North Dakota Tournament. But the final statistics do not put the 1979-80 volleyball team in its proper perspective. People don't realize the amount of time involved in being on a vollcyball-or any other collegiate team, said senior Jo Wiesman, the Blugolds only all-conference pick. We worked out twice a day. from 6:30-8 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. It takes a great deal of dedication and love for the sport to devote that much time and energy. k Front Kelly Cummings, Robin Rusbolt.

Coach Frank Wigglesworih Blugolds win conference; qualify for Early in the school year, before the UW-Eau Claire golf learn began competition, golf coach Frank Wrigglesworlh placed a written prediction in his desk drawer at his school office. On it he wrote that his team would win the conference championship. He did not tell anyone about it all season. Then, on the final day of the Wisconsin State University Conference and NAIA District 14 goM tournament, his prediction became reality. With one Blugold golfer taking medalist honors, plus what Wrigglesworlh said were excellent scores from all other team members, UWEC won the championship for the second time in four years. By winning the District 14 title, the Blugolds qualified themselves for the NAIA National tournament this spring in Saginaw Valley, Mich., May 27-31. left Kuehl finished as the conference medalist in the October 9-10 tournament. He put together rounds of 75-78 for a 153 total. He finished two strokes ahead of a Whitewater opponent and teammate Steve Mattiacci. A third player for UWEC who finished in the top four overall was Scott Terwilliger. with scores of 76-80 for a 156 toial. Other members who contributed to the team victory were Tim Bauer and Jeff Dorward each with 162 and Casey Meagher with 171. Coach Wrigglesworlh kept his confidence in the team despite its inconsistency throughout the season. It was frustrating because nobody put their act together more than once at a time, he said. We had the players and I knew they could do it; it just took awhile for all of them to do well af the same time. The Blugold golfers Iasi won the con- Nationals ference and district title in 1976, Wrigg-lesworth's first year as coach. In 1977 and 1978, they finished second in fhe conference behind Whitewater and La Crosse respectively.

More than two hours before each tip-off, hundreds of students filtered into a long line outside the arena. The only way to find a seat was to arrive early. When the arena opened its doors, the celebration began. The university band played fire-up songs as cheerleaders and stuntmen acrobatically paraded across the floor. The game and the team inspired it all. The Eau Claire basketball fans have high expectations and the Blugolds played up to them by easily defeating opponents early in the season. The Blugolds first real test of ability came in the championship game of the Blugold Tip-Off Tournament. Briar Cliff had Rolando Frazier, an All-American who scored more than 50 points in the qualifying game, Brair Cliff was rated second in Street and Smith's pre-season poll of small colleges. Eau Claire was fifth. The Blugolds were tagged a team of destiny, perhaps as good as the 1972 runner-up team after they dumped Briar Cliff tor the tournament championship, 72-52. The Blugolds sprinted to an 11-0 record before being defeated by a Division II team, Cheney State, 78-76. in a holiday tournament at Green Bay. The first NAIA poll of 1980 ranked the Blugolds first, a position they held for five weeks. The Blugolds breezed through their first conference games. They then hit a midseason slump. The bubble burst when UW-Stevens Point upset the Blugolds to stop their home court winning streak at 31 games, a new Blugold record. The loss dropped the Blugolds to 20-2 overall and 10-1 in conference. The Blugolds got back on track with victories against second place UW-White-water and UW-Platteville the next weekend. They went on to win the conference title with a 25-2 season record. In the first game of the District 14 playoffs, the Blugolds beat St. Norbert's and advanced to the long awaited championship at UW-Parkside against Parkside. The Blugolds had upset Parkside the previous year, advancing to the national tournament in Kansas City with a 61-59 overtime victory. In Kansas City the Blugolds won their first three games against Cumberland, Marymount and Central Washington, but then lost to Cameron and Huron College for a fourth place finish. Tony Carr and Gib Hinz were named second team all-tournament. Hinz was named All-American and Carr All-American honorable mention. Carr, Hinz and Mer-tens were all-conference and all-district. Gib Hinz finished his college career with several honors and records. He was conference MVP in 1978, 1979, and 1980, and was the District 14 MVP in those same years. He is the third leading scorer and rebounder in Blugold history, with 1,7% points and 952 rebounds. Coach Ken Anderson was named the NAIA coach of the year and won the ninth conference crown of his 12 years at Eau Clarie. His home record was extended to 166-17.

Sue Pulvermacher, Coach Sandy Schumacher Mid-Season Slump Hurts Blugolds After Fast Start Nearly a half hour after a UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team loss, a lone player jogged around an empty gymnasium. As she jogged, it didn't seem to matter that the Blugolds had lost their seventh straight game. It's kinda discouraging, freshman Patti Ruff said, but it doesn't make me want to give up. It makes me want to try even harder. It looked like it would take more than another loss to keep the pig-tailed Blu-gold from trying. Ruff represents many freshmen who adjusted from high school starter to less often used college players. In high school, you're one of the big wheels, and now you're just one of the many, Ruff said. You just have to learn to cope. Seven of the 12 women on the team at season's close were freshmen. For our team, it was very unusual (to have so many freshmen). Head Coach Sandy Schumacher said. But I was confident because the skill has improved so much. She attributed the improvement to high school programs. But Schumacher refused to blame the losses on the newcomers. That would have been an easy way out, but personally, I don't feel that was a factor. We just lost our enthusiasm and hustle. That enthusiasm and hustle enabled the team to win five of its first seven contests. But a seven game losing streak vanquished chances for a winning record, though the team did win two of its last three games for a 7-10 overall record. Senior Sue Pulvermacher closed her college career by leading the Blugolds with a 10.4 points per game. She also led the team in rebounds, steals and assists. I was especially pleased with Sue, her coach said, praising Pulvermacheir's leadership off the floor as well as her playing skill.

Huron College of South Dakota defeated the Blugolds in the consolation game of the tournament, but the team left the Crosby-Kemper Arena with the fourth place trophy. Eau Claire finished the season with a iO-4 record, the most wins in a season in school history. Ken Anderson was named NAIA Coach of the Year for the second time, and Gib Hin and Tony Carr were named to the All-Tournament Second Team.

Young Team Members Gain Experience Burdened with the problem of a young team, the UW-Eau Claire hockey squad endured a disappointing year in 1979-80. But a flame of hope flickered at season's end and the outlook for the coming year is good, according to Coach Wally Akervik. The Blugold hockey team won three of its last five contests, raising its record to 5-23 for the year. Before that, the Blu-golds had a 20 game-losing streak that stretched from late November to early February. Two of the victories were against UW-Stout, a team that was ranked by the NAIA polls at one point during the season. It was those victories that gave the Blugolds confidence and poise to close out the season. UW-Eau Claire's team was primarily made up of freshmen and sophomores, Akervik said. There was one |umor on the team. We were playing against some of the top teams in the NAIA and other ranked schools, Akervik said. We were inexperienced with a lot of young players and you're bound to lose some games. We knew it was going to be kind of a tough year. On the basis of his team's finish success at the end of the season, Akervik predicted the team will be much better next year. We're all encouraged to do well next year, he said. I think we're off to a good start with our young program. We also have a lot of good recruiting prospects for next year. Among the team's strong points this past year was the performance of soph- omore goalie Pat Farrington. Akervik praised him during the entire season for his efforts in front of the goal. Midway through the season the Blugold coach said Farrington was as good as any, if not the best goalie, he had seen all season. Farrington completed the season with .867 percentage of shots saved. There were 1,084 shots on goal against Farrington and he saved 940. Todd Trickle was high scorer with 25 points. He was credited with 15 goals and 10 assists. Because no one graduated from the team, the Blugolds will have an experienced team next year. Akervik said. He said he expects UW-Eau Claire to be a much stronger team in the coming year. 138 Hockey Todd Trickle. 8luxo d's leading scorer, battles (or possession nt the puck with a RiveriaJIs defense-man FRONT: Pal Farrington.

Coach Tom Prior. 140 Men'v Sw imming Inexperienced swimmers win WSUC championship Head Coach Tom Prior and Diving Coach lohannah Casey put together a young, inexperienced men's swimming team and brought it to the NAIA National Championships in what is fast becoming an annual trip (or the Blugolds. After completing a season marked by what Prior called great team spirit and much individual improvement, the Blugolds excelled in post-season competition. In February, the team overwhelmed all other Wisconsin State University Conference schools and wrapped up the conference championship, scoring 695 points in the three-day meet, well ahead of second-place UW-Stevens Point's 337 points. UW'-Eau Claire’s 695 points was one point from the conference record, set by Eau Claire two years earlier. The conference championship was the eighth in the last nine years for the Blu-gokl men's team. Prior plans to have individuals reach their peak performance at specific times of the year. In the conference meet, his strategy worked perfectly. In 49 placings by UW-Eau Claire individuals or relay teams, 47 were the fastest of the year. In the national meet held at the UW-Whitewater campus, the Blugolds placed sixth. Although this was not as good as 1979. when the Blugolds took second place. Prior said there were other aspects of the meet overshadowing the sixth place. We had more people score well in the nationals than ever before, Prior said. We had 15 All Americans. That is the most we've ever had. To become All Americans, the swimmers had to finish among the top 12 competitors in each event. The UW-Eau Claire All Americans were Terry Johannes, Steve Ellingson, Bruce Bennett, Pete Buecher, Kirk Ra- deke, Mike Welton. Doug Brown. |im Brennan, Bill Butler, Dave Melmer, Steve Furness, Mark Strohbusch, |ohn Eberlin, Dave Werdin and Mark Green. National championships are full of excitement and tension, Prior said. It's exciting to know you're swimming at the top competitive level. There is tension bee ause you know you have to do well. It is also a joy to reach your abilities. Going to nationals is contagious among the athletes. Prior said. Once you've tasted it you xvant to have more. With only one senior on the 1 180 team, the Blugolds can expect more strong performances for the next few years. We are working hard to maintain a level of excellence, he said. I've startl'd at the bottom and worked my way to the top. It's harder to stay at the top because people expect more.

First trip to national tourney for women's swim team For the first time in UW-Eau Claire's history, the women's swimming team earned a trip to the national championship. The Blugolds finished eighth in the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Championships in Meadville. Penn. The team, headed by Swimming Coach Tom Prior and Diving Coach )o-hannah Casey, had been powerful in previous years, but 1980 was the year that few teams could compete with it. At the conference meet in mid-February, the UW-Eju Gaire swimmers scored 1.222 points to win the three-day meet held at UW-Creen Bay. For a beginning team to come in and dominate the conference like it did was inc redible, Prior said. The Blugolds did some dominating at the national meet as well. They won four national championships and set rec ords in each. Individual championships were won m the 200-and 100-yard breaststroke by Anne Moser, while the 200-yard medley relay and the 400-yard medley relay teams also won their events. Anne has got to be the heroine ol the team, Prior said. She was a national champion in two events. She was also setting up other relays with the support of the other three fine ladies. The ladies Prior spoke of are Sharon King, Susi Bobbit, lulie Bins, and Holly Hanson. Eight Blugolds were named All-American. They were Moser, Bins, King. Bob-bit, Hanson. Karen Luterbach, Donn Wong, and Julie Kosikowski. Having a good team has its drawbacks. Prior admitted. It's lonely. They (other conference schools) don't like to be dominated. They root for the underdog. He said this Is made up for by the teams happiness when their hard work pays off. Women' Swimming Ml Fron : Prfffy Wallander, Sur Currin, lynn Currier, Connie Boswell.

Mary Mero said throughout the year. We have a very good chance to qualify. Any conversation with the veteran Blugold coach seemed to include some mention of nationals, the goal of any team in organized collegiate sports. Her team members spoke with their performances. By season's end the team had achieved its goal, an invitation to compete in the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Division III National Championships in Milledge-ville, Georgia. It was the first trip for Eau Claire. They averaged 121.36 points in their best two home and best two road meets to get there. The qualifying score was 110.00. While the national meet was a season-long goal, the Blugold coach said it was a meet-by-meet objective. We set a team goal for each meet and a team goal for each event. she said. I think the girls then set their own goals for their own scores. On their road to the tournament, the Blugolds finished first or second in all ten meets prior to the conference meet, and then took third in the conference meet behind UW-Madrson and eventual national champion UW-Oshkosh, Eau Claire placed 11th in the national meet. We've never had as much depth as this year, said Mero, who has coached at Eau Claire for 11 years. The roster contained eight returning gymnasts including three seniors: Heather De Luka, Sue Guerin, and Shelly Hipp. Guerin was elected Most Valuable by her teammates, and closed her four-year career at Eau Claire by leading the squad in balance beam, vaulting, and all-around. In the conference meet, the Mequon, Wis. native won the balance beam and took third in all-around. She was also the only Blugold to qualify for individual finals competition at the national meet. De Luka, from New burg, Wis., led the Blugolds in the parallel bars competition at the conference meet with a fourth place finish. The other senior, Hipp, from Whitefish Bay, Wis., was a solid all-around performer until she suffered an ankle injury before the conference meet. The depth of the team showed as several others led Eau Claire at various times. The leader in floor exercise was Teri Bluske, a freshman from Eau Claire, who had the best average score and took ninth at the conference meet and 13th at nationals. Sophomore Eileen O'Brien was selected by her teammates as the most improved gymnast. Even with all of the success associated with the Blugolds' first national tournament season, Mero is already looking ahead. We've already thought about next year, she said. I hope we will have a women's team going to nationals every year. The giris are already so excited about next year. Mero will be on leave second semester next year. They'll bring in someone eke, Mero said, but I’ll do a lot of commuting to see them. Gymnatlkt MS Long season for injury-riddled wrestlers Injuries and inexperience took their toll on the Eau Claire wrestling team. The BlugokH, 3-10 in dual meets, were down to six wrestlers alter losing lour key wrestlers in a triple dual meet. We weren't at lull strength, but that’s no excuse, coach Don Parker said. It's tough to compete that way in our conference. Wisconsin's conference is one of the strongest in the nation. Eleven wrestlers on the Blugold roster were freshmen. Parker said they had to make a big adjustment from high school to college wrestling, but he was pleased with their steady improvement. I'm looking forward to next year. This is the best group of freshmen I’ve had in seven years of coaching. They know what our Tony AigH r� won the 142-pound tale at the uwtc Tournament conference is about now and the work needed to be number one ' Parker said. M MM HoK, C' ,, McFtwil. I odd Acte«.

Eau Claire The public address announcer's voice echoed throughout the University Arena as he introduced the starling line-up for the La Crosse basketball team. “And at forward, number 55, Todd Herreid. Suddenly, approximately 2,000 UWEC students popped up from behind their newspapers and shouted, Who's he. This is just one of the many antics of the Blugold sports fans. The marching kazoo band at basketball games, the chants of We are Eau Claire at football games and the onslaught of 700 students to Kansas City are examples of how Blugold fans support their teams. And as Gib Hinz put it. Nobody has fans like we do at Eau Claire. Fans 147 Mpi Anderson, Merten lead U.S. World Team to victory Ken Anderson brought home from the World University Games two things he never had before-a gold medal in international competition and a net. Anderson, coach of the University of Wisconsm-Eau Claire Blugolds. guided the United States men's basketball team to a gold medal in the I Oth World University Games in Mexico City. The U.S. team crushed Yugoslavia, 88-70, September 12 for the gold medal, avenging an earlier loss to the Yugoslavs. The Americans, led by guard Andrew Toney’s 20 points and a stingy defense, built a 12 point halftime lead and won easily. The difference is that we were mentally tougher, Anderson said, and our bench played so much better - it was a total team effort. The Yugoslavs had beaten the U.S. team. 79-73, earlier in the Games and Anderson attributed it to a lack of mental toughness and experience in international ball. The Americans led by 19 points with 11 minutes left in the game and lost. It might have been a blessing in disguise. Anderson said of the defeat. It really hardened us mentally. We knew we could win the gold medal. It all began for Anderson on August 14, 1979. He met his staff at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado and began workouts with 28 players from the NCAA Division I. NAIA, and Junior College ranks, the two-week World University Games trials trimmed the squad to 12 players. Approximately six thousand athletes from 118 countries participated in the Games, with 31 countries represented in basketball. A member of the U.S. team was Blugoki junior Joe Merten. Anderson called the 6-7 Kenosha native the best shooting and passing forward we had ... he averaged seven points a game coming off the bench. I think this experience will help him to be more intense- which will give him better consistency. The United States breezed through the first round competition of the two-week Games, which began September 1, 1979. The Americans beat Jordan, 144-34, Saudia Arabia, 147-25, and Sudan. 173-14. The U.S. team lost to Yugoslavia in the first game of the semi-final round, but bounced back to beat Bulgaria, 138-70, and Canada, 86-76. The United States was then one of the final four teams vying for the gold medal, along with Yugoslavia. Mexico and Cuba. A crowd of more then 15,000 watched as the United States beat the host Mexicans, 75-66, in the Sports Palace. The game was never really close, much to the displeasure of the Mexican fans, as the U.S. team held a 10-point lead throughout the game. The stage was set for a rematch between the United States and Yugoslavs for the gold medal, as the Yugoslavs downed Cuba by 7 points. Yugoslavia jumped out to a 16-8 lead, but the Americans, led by Toney, pulled away to a 42-30 halftime lead and coasted to a 88-70 victory. After the win the U-S. players carried Anderson triumphantly on their shoulders about the Sports Palace Court. Anderson has a little souvenir of that moment-the net. It's the first one I have ever kept. Anderson quipped. I'll only keep it if it's from a world championship. 14A World G nrt Soccer Club kicks grass Soccer is a kick in the grass-and the UW-Eau Claire Soccer Club kicked a lot of grass this season. The Blugolds posted a 7-2-2 record and out scored opponents 26 to 12 in goals. I was very pleased with our season, coach Karl Andresen said. The team showed steady improvement throughout the year. Andresen considered the highlight of the season to be the Blugold's two confrontations with the UW-Green Bay junior varsity. Eau Claire upset the previously unbeaten Phoenix 2-1 in their first meeting, but Green Bay edged the Blugolds 1-0 in the season's last game. We played our best game in the 1 -0 loss to Green Bay. Andresen said. Both teams played excellent soccer, combining aggressive attacks with tough defense. Tough defense was the trademark of the Blugold team. Goalie Mike Tiry and fullbacks Fred Mathys, Bob Mitchell. Marty Hendricks and Rob St. Clair combined for two shutouts and only twice allowed more than one goal in a game. The scoring and passing of junior forwards Steve Manning and Ron Lien spearheaded the Blugold offense. Senior Dean Groth anchored the midfield and was the team captain. Groth was the team's most valuable player and best midfielder. Manning was best striker and Mathys the best defender. it. Clair was the most improved player. The Blugolds now own a 13-3-2 record since the club was formed in the fall of 1978 by seniors Marly Branville and Dean Groth. The club is working toward making soccer a varsity sport at UW-Eau Claire, fc SCOREBOARD OPP EC Rke Lake 1 6 Stevens Point 1 2 Riser Falh 0 3 laCrotte 2 2 Stout 3 2 River Falh 1 1 Green Bay JVs 1 2 laCrotte 1 2 Stout 1 3 Stevens Point 0 3 Green Bay (Vs 1 0 Top right: fullback Bob Mitchell don the bid at teammate Strvr Manning and UW-Green Bay mid-fiekk Paul Slrid look on 111 Row: Steve Johnson.

Blugold Backers Fired-up With Stunts and Cheers From atop the human pyramid of Blugold cheerleaders and stuntmen, a precariously-perched cheerleader leads the crowd in a cheer. This is a familiar scene at Carson Park for Blugold football fans and at the University Arena for basketball fans. We entertain the crowd while the teams are warming up, explained Bill Retzlaff, the advisor of the cheerleaders and stuntmen. During the game, we just keep'em fired-up. The 18-member squad is made up of nine men and nine women. Tryouts are held in the fall for approximately 35 candidates. The squad practices twice a week for three hours during the football and basketball seasons, and every night after the fall tryout in preparation for the opening football game. The squad performs at all basketball and football games, both home and away. We have quite a repertoire of stunts. Retzlaff said. He said the squad does about 30 to 35 partner stunts, 10 to 15 mounts involving the entire squad, and some group mounts and stunts involving five or six people. Most of our stunts are original—we make them up ourselves, Retzlaff said. And we do a lot of difficult stunts-with flips and girls above the guy’s head. The cheerleaders and stuntmen are a campus organization that is partially funded by the university. Their main fund raiser is a high school cheerleading clink held each year. High schools from all over the state come to Eau Claire for the one-day clinic. We have had over 300 girls attend the clinic in past years, Retzlaff said. It has been very successful and is growing. The high schools keep coming back every year. The hockey cheerleaders have to be able to perform stunts both on land and ke. There are requirements on ice and land during tryouts, captain Sue Donahue said. The hockey cheerleaders perform before the games and between periods. The squad practices three hours on land and two hours on ice a week. A candy sale is the main fund raiser for the self-supporting group. The cheerleaders perform at all Blugold home games at the Hobbs Ice Center and at some away games.

I Hard Work and Practice Pays Off in Perfection The sound o Styx's Lorelei'' filled the University Arena as the house lights dimmed. The standing-room-only crowd of more than 3.000 was silent. Suddenly, eighteen pairs of yellow flashlights pierced the darkness, creating patterns with the light. The crowd applauded spontaneously during the routine and as the house lights went on the UW-Eau Claire pom-pon squad was given a standing ovation. An entertaining and exciting performance is expected each time the pom-pon squad performs. It is tradition, like winning is to the basketball team. But many hours of practice are involved to perfect the crowd-pleasing routines. The 18-member pom-pon squad practices two hours a day. five times a week during the basketball season, according to sophomore Kathy Hanfschild. co-captain of the squad. The squad also practices on the Saturday mornings of the football and basketball games. This season the squad had a different routine for almost every game. Haufschild, a pom-pon member for two years, said a group of three or four is assigned to make up a routine for each game. The group then teaches it to the rest of the squad. Everyone helps make up at least one routine, Haufschild said. That way we have fresh and different routines each week. But everyone works on the light routine. It's different and lun for us. Junior Sherri Overmyer said the long practices and performances take up a lot of time, but when she hears the crowd roaring after a performance, it makes it all worthwhile. It's the best feeling in the worid-it makes all the hectic work worih it. The pom-pon squad is totally self-supporting and its major fund raisers are a high school clinic held in November and a popcorn jar sale. Because of the successful fund raisers, the squad was able to accomplish its season goal and get new uniforms. The pom-pon squad adds to the atmosphere of the Blu-gold football and basketball games, athletic director Steve Kurth said. They are a positive attribute to the university, the athletic department and themselves. Pom Poo 151 I Hobnailers Fulfill Their Outdoor Ambitions We try lo do things that people have never done before, but have always wanted to. said Ron Eichhom, President of the Hobnailers. The club K open to any student interested in participating in outdoor activities such as rock (limbing, canoeing, back packing, hang gliding, and cross country skiing. The? club offers workshops to help members learn the skills for each recreational activity. After learning these skills, the members use them in actual outdoor experience. The club goals are to promote and develop outdoor skills, encourage a better understanding of nature, and develop leadership qualities. The Hobnailers have activities outside of Eau Claire such as a bike trip to Lacrosse and back packing in Michigan's Porcupine Mountains. Kim Ihonut and Kurt Buts upprl down a (lift.

Inside, UW-Eau Claire men's swimming coach Tom Prior stood beside the pool with a whistle in his mouth, a nine-inch yellow ball in his right hand, and a stick with blue and white flags in his left hand. At one end of the pool, seven men with blue caps tied around their heads lined up. Poised at the opposite end were seven men with white caps. Suddenly, both teams exploded toward the center of the pool, as Prior blew the whistle and set the ball in the center. There was a frantic scramble, until finally one team controlled the ball. The game was water polo, and the object was for either team to put the ball in the opponent's goal. Prior is the faculty advisor for the UWEC water polo club, which he helped create in 1970. The club allows swimmers to condition and stay in shape within the conference rules, which do not allow practice to begin until October 15, Prior said. Water polo is a great sport to break up the monotony of swimming, said the club's president, Terry Johannes. However, swimmers aren't the only club members and conditioning isn't its only purpose. Water polo is a very fast and exciting game. Prior said. It's as involved as basketball. Finesse, technique and strategy are very much a part of the game, he said. We play it for the sake of improving our water polo skills and for having a good time. The club finished third in an eight-team double elimination tournament it hosted at McPhee October 13. Iowa State took first place, and Pillsbury Wait, a water polo club from Minnesota, captured second, fc Sport 1S3 Recreation Expanded program In the early 1960's, UW-Eau Claire recreation soltball games were player! on the city softball diamonds on Water Street, where the Fine Arts building now stands. Intramural football games were played on the open field behind Putnam and Thomas residence halls, before the addition to the McIntyre Library. The UW-Eau Claire recreation program has greatly expanded and changed under Clayton Anderson, former director of recreation. The program has grown from accommodating a few thousand students in the early '60s to more than two million in the decade of the 70s. Anderson, 64, retired from the recreation department July 1. But even though Anderson is gone, the fruits of his hard work as recreation director will remain for students to enjoy. Anderson was appointed the first fulltime director of recreation in 1966 by Chancellor Leonard Haas. There were about 100 basketball teams and over half of the games were forfeited, Anderson said of the program when he became direr tor. He said them was plenty of student interest, but more leadership anti better organization were needed. 1S4 Rrcrcjtion • • • caters to students' need to 'go out and have fun' Anderson's recreation staff tried to cater to the needs and demands of the students. We first formed leagues with the major sports (football, basketball and softball), then with the other sports-like volleyball, broomball and bowling, recreation assistant Jim Peuse said. Peuse was Anderson's only assistant when the department was formed in 1%6. We listen to the students and what they want, Anderson said. He is really on the kids' side. He's rubbed a lot of faculty members the wrong way because he took stands for the kids-but you can see the results, Peuse said in describing Anderson's experiences with the administration to get new recreation facilities for students. The results of Anderson's efforts are reflected in the department's statistics for the last decade: Total attendance in the program was 2338,7%; 4,%5 softball games were played; swimming attracted 83,823 participants; bowling machines counted 972,193 lines bowled; 6,180 basketball games were played; 14,603 individuals received championship awards, which consisted of trophies and T-shirts. Our programs let the students, mostly young people full of vinegar, relieve themselves from the pressures of college, Anderson said. They go out and have fun. Recreation 1SS academics academics academics academics academics Frederick Haug Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Frederick Haug, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, is responsible for the school's faculty, budget, curriculum and academics of the students. Haug began teaching at UW-Eau Claire in 1965 as associate professor in the speech department. In 1967 through 1971 he was associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and in 1972 he became deaa The School of Arts and Sciences is the largest school at UWEC. Haug works with about 350 faculty members who are represented by a chairman in each department. The people Haug works with the most are the faculty and the chairmen of the 22 departments, he said. One of the dean’s jobs is advising on (acuity matters, including promotion, salaries and leaves. The dean also works with the department chairmen in dealing with students, budget and curriculum, Haug said. Haug works out the budget for the School of Arts and Sciences and works at maintaining it. The dean administers the academic programs for the school. This includes developing class schedules, starting new programs and reviewing the existing programs, Haug said Haug is also responsible in coordinating the needs and goals of the School of Arts and Sciences with the Schools of Business, Education, Nursing and Graduate Studies. Helping students with problems in academics is another responsibility of Haug's. The students' problems can range from a complaint about a certain professor to students confused about classes or career goals. As dean, Haug also helps in freshmen orientation, mostly by meeting the parents and answering questions.

The art department with 16 faculty members oilers a broad spectrum of art offerings ol a generalized nature. Campbell said. Campbell describes the department as liberal art orientated teaching the typical disciplines. The idea of expanding beyond the boundaries ol Eau Claire makes the art department unique. Campbell said. The foreign study program allows students to receive art history credits for European travel. Students also take field trips to Chicago and New York City each year. Campbell said. Mainly art schools attract students on the basis of reputation. Campbell said. He added that Eau Claire has a good reputation throughout the state and beyond the state too. Critiques are important, according to Campbell. The students can sec what their peers have done and compare their own work. The spirit of competition is a healthy one. Campbell said. It is working to better one's own production, he said. The Ruth Foster Gallery provides UW-EC students a variety of concepts in art. It shows the student the different kinds of motivation and discipline involved, Campbell said, fc Aft i« tfaO Biot oft The biology department occupies the third floor of Phillips Science Hall. One of the department's features is its specialized laboratories, each used for a specific class. This way materials don't have to be transferred from one lab to another. Mark Fay, department chairman, said. The department offers more than just laboratories. Also included are a greenhouse, an animal house and an electron microscope lab. A student majoring in biology is offered three choices when pursuing a degree. A person may choose an emphasis on zoology, botany, or liberal arts and teaching. Often, a student may satisfy two or three options, Fay said. The department also offers a master's in arts or science for biology majors. Fifty-five to 65 biology majors graduate each year, Fay said. These graduates enter industries or private business, graduate or professional schools, teaching or government jobs. Out of the 13 four-year campuses in Wisconsin, Eau Claire is ranked third in placing its biology majors in medical schools, k Chemistry Chffnhtry 161 Dr. Joel Klink, chemistry department chairman, is busy coordinating the skills of the 19 member staff and their environment. We, the chemistry department, count with excellent facilities, he said. The labs for students are very good and the research space is nice too. The chemistry department prepares its students in the field by offering chemistry in styles from the general theories to the principles of analysis; from chemistry for artbuffs to biochemistry. The faculty concerns itself with service projects in the community also. Although science people shy away, we are not terribly isolated. Klink said. One of our projects concluded this year by Dr. Bowers, was a series of studies on Eau Claire's new landfield. Also, there is a continous program of air monitoring. So far, Klink said, we haven't found any particular problems with our air. If that coal burning power plant, or any other industry is built, we'll know its effect in the air right away. Some people call the chemistry department inquiring if the water they are drinking is contaminated, or to ask how safe it is to eat the fish from the Chippewa River. They trust the University as a knowledge center, Klink said, k Communicative Disorders The communicative disorders department at UW-Eau Claire is a relatively new department training students in speech pathology and audiology. As the 1979-80 Bulletin best describes, these professions are devoted to helping people overcome disabilities in speech, language, or hearing and devoted to contributing to our knowledge of the human communication processes. Through the efforts of 11 faculty members in the department and professionals within the area. 180 undergraduate students receive thorough training. A master's degree is required for licensing in the field, and prepares the student for work in hospitals, public schools and clinics. Dr. Vicki Larson, department chairman, said that one of the program's strengths is the variety of practical and clinical experiences offered. The student becomes directly involved in the practical application of his knowledge through the Center for Communication Disorders. This center is in Crest Commons and provides diagnostic and therapeutic services to children and adults in the community. Seventeen satellite hospitals and homes also provide practical experiences, fc Above: Communicative disorders faculty. lop right: One hundred and eighty undergraduate student are enrolled in the communicative disorders major intent on helping those with language disabilities.

Its major was approved in the same year, and the curriculum was developed in 1975. In 1977 computer science became a major. Presently, there are four full-time professors instructing computer science. In the computer science department are two Burroughs 5700 computer systems, a calcomp digital plotter, a data 100 computer, a digital equipment PDP 11 -34, and mini computers. Among the qualities a computer science course offers is the development of a solid foundation in the orientation of software. Computer science courses approach problems with logic resulting in correct well structured solutions. The program in our department is a liberal arts program which is concerned with the whole student, Dr. Nuesse said, fc Top U-(l: Somrlimn the beet colutiom come from the protector, not computer, left: Computer tcfonce teculty.

The Eau Claire Bulletin reads: The primary goal of the department of economics is to provide classes and programs that teach the basic concepts of economic theory and reality. True to this description, 13 faculty members strive to produce a new attitude in its students-an economic way of thinking. The courses most familiar to students are economics 111 and 112, dealing with basic principles and day-to-day applications. These concepts are expounded upon in advanced courses usually taken by students with an economics major or minor. This year, there were 39 liberal arts majors and 30 business school majors in the economics department. For people going into a career in economics, an econometrics course was added second semester. The course utilizes information gained in statistics showing students how to analyze and forecast possible economic situations. As in past years, the economic department offered a foreign perspective through the International Study Program. Local internships were also available. fc English IfcS The basic tools of English are reading, writing and language. Books or a text incorporates these tools. The text is the backbone of the English department, Douglas Pearson, chairman of the English department at UW-Eau Claire, said. Pearson said he feels students as well as teachers must read a wide variety of literature in order to interpret the three components of writing. The three components are expression, communication and style. Along with the traditional aspect of English, Pearson said that English as well as speech and journalism had to learn to grapple” with today's changes in communication. The English department has had to add new courses to its more traditional courses. These new courses include one which takes a thematic and practical approach to film language. Another is a class in American Indian Literature, taught by Saxon Gouge, an American Indian.

Bottom right: Foreign language fatuity. Foreign Languages UW-Eau Claire's foreign language department's three strongest course offerings are in French. German and Spanish, where major and minor programs are available. The department also offers civilization courses dealing with the cultures and history of the chosen country. Students also have the option of enrolling in a Swedish or Norwegian class. The foreign language staff has 16 professors; 11 full-time and five part-time. Although the student enrollment in the department has increased slightly over the past few years, the increase has not been sufficient enough to justify any additions to the staff. Many of Ihe beginning and inter- mediate foreign language classes utilize the two language labs. These labs contain a movie screen and rows of separate compartments. Each compartment has facilities for headphones, microphones, a control panel and a cassette tape player. The labs aid in developing comprehension and speaking ability, fc 166 Foreign Language lop; lim Horppner. j geography minof perry through 4 UmoKopr.

Geography 167 Geography The UW-Eau Claire geography depart-meni offers courses and programs that can be used by all students interested in pursuing careers in geography or seeking to fulfill a general studies requirement. With an interest in effective space management and by the use of scientific methods, geography provides a unique insight into man's role in his world. Students can develop an understanding of a variety of topics ranging from man's perception of the hazards and opportunities found within the environment to the expansion and increasing influence of metropolitan areas on human development. Special facilities available to the department include the Simpson Geographic Research Center which serves as a study area as well as the storage center for the extensive collection of topographic maps and other geographic course materials kept on file. The department also contains one of the largest, if not the largest, audio-tutorial programs in the nation with facilities for four hundred to five hundred students. 1(4 Oology Geology The UW-Eau Claire geology department strives to prepare the student with a good background for geology graduate studies. The department has had extreme success in the achievements of its geology majors who've continued to obtain their graduate degrees. Positive feedback from well-noted graduate schools has greatly encouraged the department as well as the recent employment of some Eau Claire graduates in the petroleum industries in Texas and Wyoming. Pari of this cumulative success may be contributed to the small number of geology majors. Because there are generally no more than SO, the faculty of four is able to devote a greater portion of time to each student. The geology department offers quite a variety of courses covering many aspects of the geological sciences within the expertise of the faculty members. They possess a good supply of materials enabling the classes to be very active. There are well-equipped labs furnished with microscopes and rock-cutting equipment for example, which provide the students' necessary experience, k Above: the notebook ot a give-away that Ihrw geology students are examining rock structure , picking a ite lor a campfire.

History Many UW-Eau Claire students chose to use the history department as their means to study the past. According to department chairman Ronald Mickel, the history department has a faculty diverse enough to offer courses from generally any period of history. Almost all major sectors of the world are incorporated into the history program, offering students a wide selection of classes, he said. We try to design the courses to fit the students' changing interests, Mickel said. For instance, right now students are fascinated by the 1930s and 1940s. We have tried to develop non-major courses, such as The Nazis and Germany: 1914-1945, that will satisfy the student's interest. Mickel finds the student's attitude towards history is now better than it once was. He thinks students are taking history classes more out of a personal interest. rather than out of a school requirement. One-third of the 147 students majoring in history plan to teach history. Many other students are using their history majors for pre-professional programs and other related careers. History 1W Journalism students at UW-Eau Claire have the opportunity to specialize their interests in the areas of news and magazine reporting, advertising and public relations, or radio and television news. Students are prepared for a career in journalism by taking a variety of courses, combining theory with practical experience, Elwood Karwand, department chairman, said. In journalism courses, the students in major and minor programs learn how to write news stories, rewrite copy from a state wire service, shoot, develop and print photographs, and other skills necessary in the journalism professions. Journalism students also gain practical experience from the weekly student newspaper, (the Spectator), the yearbook, (the Periscope) the campus radio station, (WUEC), and an English publication (N.O.T.A.). Students also learn Journalism from part-time jobs at area newspapers, radio and television stations and a variety of agencies. Twice each year, an advisory board, made up of 15 members from Wisconsin and Minnesota, visit the UW-Eau Claire campus, Karwand said. The board, composed of professional journalists, advises the faculty and students of changes in the field, suggests curriculum revisions, and points out strengths of UW-Eau Claire graduates hired into the profession. Karwand said. Approximately 45 students graduate in foumalism a year and more than 90 percent are placed in jobs shortly after graduation, Karwand said. The journalism department has grown from one faculty member and 17 courses in 1953 to the present day faculty of 10 teaching 37 courses. 170 louriulnm Mathematics The UW-Eau Gaire mathematics department has twenty-nine faculty and staff members offering four majors and four minors. A student can choose a math major with an emphasis on liberal arts, general teaching, junior high school teaching or a comprehensive major in both math and physics. Minors are offered in liberal arts, general teaching, junior high teaching and elementary school teaching. One of the features of the math department is the mathematics lab, located on the second floor of Hibbard Hall. The lab is mainly a tutorial facility. Basically it is people tutoring people, Bill Sparks, associate professor of mathematics, said. The lab features a professional tutor who works half-time and student tutors who work about 50 hours a week. The lab is mainly for students enrolled in math entry courses. Last year. Sparks said, 528 students used the lab. each averaging about six visits. Since the lab has been open only for a year, a limited amount of materials are available. Computers and other materials may be added soon. We hope in the future to acquire enough funds to add to the lab Sparks said. Mjthmutk 171 Music The UW-Eau Claire music department has 37 (acuity members capable of teaching every instrument, including the harp, according to Milton Schimke, department chairman. The largest percentage of students in the music department are enrolled in music education, music therapy and professional performance. Schimke said. The placement for music majors in jobs is high he said, especially in education. The jobs are there, Schimke said, and students face no problems if they are not particular where they want to live. The saturation point in music has not been reached, Schimke said. Enrollment in public schools for kindergarten through grade 12 decreased last year, but the number of students increased. This increased the demand for music teachers Schimke said. The music department is somewhat different from other departments because of the demands it places on its students, he said. The department provides students an outlet in perfecting a performance opportunities, Schimke said. He added that at the same time of perfecting a performance the student must learn how to teach those skills to his future students. The audience only sees the finished product at a certain point. The audience does not realize the amount of time and effort that went into perfecting it. The performer will go beyond the performance and perfect it more. The students must audition to be accepted into the department. This increases the quality of the music department because of increased competition, according to Schimke. The facilities of the department include Canter Concert Hall. Phillips Recital Hall, two rehearsal halls, 37 practice rooms, record studio, and electronic music studio. The department reached a point where it could not handle the student population. So, rather than grow in number and size, we are growing in quality. Schimke said. 172 Mink Philosophy and Religious Studies The philosophy religious studies department. Chairman Phillip Griffin said, is part of the development of a high quality liberal arts program. He said the philosophy majors will have prepared students for a continued pursuit of learning. Philosophy graduates, Griffin said, are likely to travel or become involved with international studies. The religious studies major was added to the philosophy department three years ago. According to Griffin, it is the only religious studies major in the University system. We have had a few majors who have gone on to graduate school or the seminary, Griffin said. There is enough interest in the program so that it's worth doing, but we won't have to build another building because of it. I he combined philosophy religious studies department has nine full-time faculty and one part-time instructor. The size of the department has not changed in the past five years. Philmoph and Rriigiou Studies 173 174 Phy k A new observatory, far from the bright city lights, is in itself the highlight of the 1979-flO UW-Eau Claire physics department. Its grand opening at the Eau Claire County Youth Camp was October 25, 1979 and since then a substantial number of people have been seeing stars. The physics department offers a liberal arts major and minor in physics, a teaching major and minor in physics and a comprehensive major in physics-mathematics. The physics department has a complete collection of Mount Palomar Observatory Photographs of the night sky. The 2.000 16 x 20 prints reveal more than two billion star images of the entire sky. UWEC is the only university in the state system with such a collection. The 15 faculty members in the department offer physic courses for majors, minors and general education students. A student can for instance, enroll in a general physical science course, an astronomy course, an electronics use course or in a science of musical sound course. Is Below: Physics faculty.

Bottom lett: Political ccirncr faculty. “In general, any citizen of any country ought to have some knowledge of the political activities in that country. Robert Gibbon, department chairman, said. Government is fairly important to modern day life. The political science department exists because such knowledge is so important. The political science major was established at UW-Eau Claire in 1957, eight years after a minor was first offered. A political science degree in education was first made available in 1974. In the average school year, the political science department has 100 students working toward a major, and 50 students working toward a minor. Gibbon said half of the department's graduates go on to law school, others find employment in government or business and some go on to graduate school. Forty-five courses are offered by the department, and Gibbon said a general education class-American National Politics-is the most popular class among students. These classes are taught by the political science department faculty which Gibbon described as strong. He feels the faculty of ten and a well-rounded selection of courses are the department's major assets, fc PoMkjI Science 175 Psychology The psychology department, located in Hibbard Humanities Hall, has many modem facilities and a faculty of 20 members. At the undergraduate level, the psychology department offers an opportunity for students to gain a broad view of psychology rather than one specialization. The areas of instruction within the department include general psychology and more specific areas of industrial, consumer and clinical psychology. Social, educational, physiological, child and experimental psychology are additional areas of instruction in psychology. The department's programs include a major in psychology toward a liberal arts degree or toward a secondary level teaching degree. The program leads to a masters degree in school psychology. Individuals are trained to work in schools, aiding children with emotional or learning problems. Counseling seems to be popular among many students. Barbara Lo or. department chairman, said. The facilities within the department include cubicles with advanced equipment for individual or group experiments. There is an advanced animat laboratory, a human laboratory involving child volunteers from the community, an electroencephalograph laboratory and observation rooms. sychologists know everything. 176 P yi holofo Social Work The enrollment in the social work department at UW-Eau Claire has increased by 50 percent in the last four years and now has eight faculty members and 320 students in the major. The department is marked by some special features. All seniors are required to participate in two semesters of an internship program, in one of 25 area agencies, under the supervision of an agency supervisor. The students work two days a week with all the responsibilities of a regular social worker. However, the emphasis of the internship program is learning for the student. Available to any student is a one-credit class requiring 30 hours of volunteer work in one of the local agencies. This program can be enriching to one's life as well as giving a perspective social work major some exposure in the field to aid making a final social work major decision. Another feature of the social work department is the Association for Student Social Workers. This club's purpose is making available to social work students field speakers, tours and special projects. However, the club also sponsors social events, k Social WoA 177 Sociology BrWm. Sociology Ucultv againtl a Imchdrop ol MtKKh. Anthropology, the study of man's origin and cultural development, is only one branch of studies in UW-Eau Claire's sociology department. The sociology department offers courses dealing with aspects of human relationships, social structures, institutions and social change. The department offers a liberal arts major and minor, a teaching maior and minor, an anthropology minor and a comprehensive criminal justice major. Dr. J. Kenneth Davidson, department chairman, said that although there has been a decline in sociology majors across the country, the enrollment in Introduction to Sociology has increased greatly. Sociology is of great interest to many students because it is a valuable supplement to many career goals. Facilities available for student use are video equipment, access to computers and a research lab equipped with a data library, counter sorter and calculators. The anthropology department has collections of cultural artifacts, slides and skeletal materials, fc 178 Sociology Speech Housed under the ambiguous department title, speech. are three distinct programs on the UW-Eau Claire campus. These programs encompass public address, theatre and oral interpretation and radio, television and film. Fred Whited, department chairman, said the speech department is very strong and the forensics team is one of the winningest in the nation.” The case ot trophies in the Fine Arts building is proof of the forensic team's successes. In the area of theatre the competition develops within yourself in trying to do a better job than you did last time,” Whited said. He attributed the success of the UW-EC theatre program to the directors and the vast experience the students receive. The radio and television program, overlapping the journalism program in some aspects, deals heavily with production, business and management. The shortage of funds and an overload of speech students are due to the increasing number of students taking service courses, such as oral interpretation, which is required for several majors, k Top: Spmh faculty.

Wenner, who taught in Wyoming, Iowa, Oregon and Minnesota before coming to Eau Claire 20 years ago, is in his ninth year as dean at UW-Eau Claire. Dean Wenner's job requires working directly with the department chairmen in the School of Business and his superiors, such as the vice chancellor. He also deals with the School of Business curriculum committee, providing it with information on proposed majors. This year, because there is no director (or the Master of Business Administration program, he is mainly working with graduate students. His responsibilities, he said, are to provide the leadership necessary to assure the high quality of education for students with a major in the school of business. He is responsible for evaluating courses and recommending revisions, approving candidates for graduation from the school, designing academic programs, recommending class schedules, orienting new faculty to the school and administering off-campus credit offerings. With his concentration in marketing and business policy. Dean Wenner is involved as a direct administrator and supervisor of the School of Business Outreach efforts with the University of Wisconsin Extension. 1H0 Bininnt Accounting 181 Accounting Seventeen professors make up the “largest accounting department between here and California. Lawrence Ozzello, department chairman, said. Accounting has developed into one of the largest undergraduate professional majors at UW-Eau Claire. More than a quarter of all students in the UWEC School of Business are accounting majors, although only two-thirds of all accountancy graduates started in the field. The number of students changing to an accounting major doesn't mystify O zdlo. He believes accounting can be for “anyone who likes order. The record of placement of graduates from the accounting department substantiates Ozzello's high opinion of the program. Only one graduate in the past five years has not been placed in an accountancy job. One highlight of the comprehensive accounting major is the internship program, which attempts to integrate the student's formal accounting knowledge with on-the-job experience of public, private and governmental accounting. 1 i Business Administration The UW-Eau Claire department of business admmstration, with its 25 fac-culty members, is designed to prepare students in all areas of the business world. The department offers four majors and a minor. A student may choose a general business administration major or a comprehensive major in either finance, marketing or management. A major in finance prepares the student for work in banks, brokerage insitu-tions or finance department. Marketing majors are prepared for working in the marketing area of any corporation. Management majors are prepared to assume positions in the management areas of corporations. The department's minor program, business administration, is available to students with a major outside of the department. In 1976, a bachelor’s degree in business administration was added to the department. Admission to the M.B.A. program is based on the applicant’s undergraduate work and score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, k IS2 l«ninm Administration Abuse: IntutM arm'I ail business.

Office Administration Business Education ■'There is no comparison of the UW-Eau Claire office administration and business education department with other universities, according to Dr. William Mitchell, department chairman. Three majors are provided by the department: the secretarial administration sequence, the administration service sequence for careers in word processing, record administration or managing, and the information systems major. There is also a thirty-six credit minor added for teaching certification. Unparalleled by other universities, the Eau Claire department is the first to possess the new type of instructive dictation machines. This apparatus allows the student to progress at his own learning rate. This department provides the student access to much expensive and sophisticated equipment. There is room for expansion in the department. With one returning faculty member and six recently hired, the department is still approximately five professors understaffed. The faculty is the major strength of this department, said Dr. Mitchell.

His job responsibilities include the design of the academic program for the School of Education, and maintaining a file regarding course offerings within the school. The dean also evaluates course and program offerings and suggests revisions. Dean Johnson also has some responsibilities relating directly to students and faculty members. He supervises academic advising for all students who've indicated education as their major, designs procedures for the admission of students into the School of Education, and approves all candidates for graduation. Regarding the faculty, the Dean recruits faculty members and academic staff, evaluates them, and recommends appointment or non-appointment within the School of Education. Regular contact with deans of other schools is maintained as well as with many people off campus, such as administrators and teachers in the city's public schools. One very important group outside of Eau Claire's campus helping Dean Johnson accomplish his goals, is the Department of Public Instruction. This department Is concerned with the licensing of teachers. Dean Johnson meets regularly with people working there to gain their approval of UWEC's School Education program and making certain that it's formulated to meet the licensing requirements. This continuous program approval is crucial in order to assure education students completing the program, that they have indeed met the criteria to be licensed to teach. Johnson said he enjoys the variety and flexibility of his job because he undertakes many different tasks and isn't always tied to a fixed schedule. 184 I due Jt ion Elementary Education Elementary education at Eau Claire has a good reputation throughout the state as students graduating Irom Eau Claire can boast of nearly 100 percent placement, Ben Thomson, department chairman said. We have students eager to learn and teachers eager to teach, he said. The El. Ed. department is constantly going through changes of improvement and this year the department is currently finishing a two year study of its teachers, curriculum and requirements. During the last two years the department has had guests from CESA. local instructors and principals giving their views on new roles of a teacher. Because of these seminars a few changes could result by second semester. One strong point of department pride is its junior practicum. During the students' junior year he or she practice teaches for a half day for a month. This gives the student a head start in practice teaching. Fifty two percent of the department's graduates graduated with honors this past year, second only to the School of Nursing graduates. One of the reasons that the El. Ed. department strives for such success is its philosophy that, next to parenthood nothing is more important than being a teacher, Thomson said, fc Above: Individual attmbon meant a more prrvonal approach.

Foundations of Education Acting as a bridge between the School of Education and the School of Arts and Sciences, the foundations of education department offers services to students interested in education. The foundations of education (FED) courses are designed to provide a supplement to education and to education as it relates to philosophy, sociology and history. Students learn methods of educational research and statistic measurement is these fields. Evaluation and measurement of students' classroom achievements, legal rights of students and teachers, social, historic and philosophic foundations of education and contemporary issues in education are specific topics covered in FED. According to Wisconsin state law. a teacher may not teach without having had prior coursework in human relations training. Elmer Winters, department chairman explained FED's approach to this law. We offer a field studies course satisfying the requirement. he said. 'The whole experience gives tremendous insight into how groups live, he said. Its impact is far greater than that derived from classroom work. it 186 Foundation oi Education Library Science Media Education Students in the library science and media education department train for careers as media specialists and as public librarians and are also offered courses in photography, production of instructional material, and the use of educational radio and television in the classroom. Glenn Thompson, department chairman, said. Although the department is considered one of the smallest on campus, it has the distinction of being one of the larger undergraduate programs of its kind in the State University system, graduating 40 to 50 students each year. The strength of this department lies in its ability to diversify its curriculum so that students are also prepared to work in special facilities and as volunteers in church libraries. They can learn how to go about selecting appropriate materials and effectively managing the operation of a library. In order to successfully complete the requirements of the program, it is necessary for all students seeking this degree to go out and acquire limited field experience in an actual library or media service situation to gain professional skill and polish, fc Top left: Libitum teem lo know everything And UW-fCl lihfjrv Mima- and media education department it where they get the know-how.

Faculty members at McPhee teach in areas where they are needed so that almost every kind of sport is available to the students. Program-wise, it is a well-rounded program, said Ida Hmz, department chairman. Inside and around McPhee Center is where many of these activities take place. The center is well-equipped for each of the courses offered by the de- partment. There are three large indoor gyms, a gymnastics gym, a dance studio, a wrestling weight room, a pool, a football field, and outdoor track, a large field for golfing, archery, etc., and eight new outdoor tennis courts. The physical education curriculum is divided into two categories: professional and non-professional courses.

Of the 52 instructors in the department. seven are professors working basically with student teaching and graduate levels of work. We feel one of our strengths is having a good working knowledge to fully prepare them (students) for junior and senior high school teaching, Charles Larson, department chairman, said. Eau Claire's faculty also teaches courses in skills improvement for those who teach on a voluntary or pay basis, many from churches and hospitals. Over the past three years a program has been developed in which teachers teaching in their first or second year take a leave of absence and teach juniors majoring in Secondary Education the principles and practices of teaching in secondary schools. It's a good experience for the teacher and also helps students better prepare themselves for their futures as teachers, fc Above and be km: Secondary education faculty.

The master's degree programs are in behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, mental retardation, and early education of the handicapped. Some of the most frequently used facilities for the community involvement include special classes in the Eau Claire area public schools. Northern Center for the developmental disabled. Sunburst Youth Home and Riverview School for emotionally disturbed adolescents are used for educational experiences. Such facilities give the students a chance to observe and participate in various activities dealing with special education. The special education department at UW-Eau Claire provides for in-class learning as well as for community involvement within its programs. The bachelor's degree program pro- DEPARTMENT CF ISO Spr ui tdo Jt on School of Graduate Studies The School of Graduate Studies offers degree programs for candidates interested in preparation at the graduate level for teaching or for other professional services, R. Dale Dick, dean of the School of Graduate Studies and a psychology professor, said. There are six types of degrees offered through the School of Graduate Studies. The Master of Science in Teaching is for students who have met requirements for teaching in their undergraduate study. The programs offer specialization in history, social sciences. English and mathematics. This program is also available to experienced teachers who wish to pursue a master's degree. The Master of Arts in Teaching is also for students with undergraduate requirements met. They must have a liberal arts degree with a minor that can be taught in a public school. The programs available are business education, music and secondary education. Thirdly, the Master of Science in Education is offered in school psychology, special education, and communicative disorders. The program in communicative disorders is a program that leads to certification of clinical competence by the American Speech and Hearing Association. The Master of Education-Professional Development, a fourth degree offered, is for currently employed teachers. The program is individually planned, to meet the participant's goals in professional development. The Master of Arts and Master of Science is a degree program for people who have done much study in the discipline and wish to develop their skills in another capacity. Finally, the Specialist in Education is offered in business education and it concentrates on administrative supervision and teaching. The emphasis of graduate studies is on personal contact between the graduate faculty and the students, and on independent study with direction by the graduate faculty, Dick said. To be considered for the program a student must have a baccalaureate degree and an undergraduate grade point of 2.25 or better. Students are considered for admission by the graduate faculty. R. Dale Dick Dean of the School of Graduate Studies R. Dale Dick, dean of the School of Graduate Studies, said that one mason he enjoys his job as dean is because he plays a role in the development of people. Dick, professor of psychology, said he likes working with the faculty and students developing graduate study programs. As dean of the School of Graduate Studies, Dick said he is involved in developing and evaluating graduate programs within the school, enlisting support of the deans of the other schools for encouraging and evaluating graduate programs, conducting student admissions to the graduate school, organizing the graduate school faculty and recommending to faculty and academic personnel rules and procedures within the school. Dick has been the dean for graduate studies since August, 1%6. Dick said he enjoys his job very much, but feels at times the paper work can be a burden. Teaching psychology plus being a dean is very enjoyable, he said. The majority of students enrolled in graduate programs are females because many women are in education. For example, in the fall of 1978-79, 65 percent of the graduate studies students were female and 35 percent were males, he said. Mostly the students enrolled in the graduate studies program have been from Wisconsin. i Graduate Mu Ac t91 Suzanne Van Ort Dean of the School of Nursing It's certainly not a 9 to 5 job ' Suzanne Van Ort said ot her position as dean of the School of Nursing. Van Ort said when she became dean three years ago there was a strong School of Nursing. There had been a strong dean, she said. It was a good time though for a change in philosophy. Van Ort said in her first three years there has been a basic change in philosophy, changes in the faculty and changes in curriculum. We are moving toward a graduate education and toward a development of a faculty more doctorally prepared ' she said. In her position. Van Ort has the final word on issues concerning cirriculum, faculty and budget in nursing at UWEC. She also has direct contact with students through the two classes she teaches. I teach on purpose, Van Ort said. Her classes, one a preliminary course for sophomore students and the other a course for seniors, allow her to get to know most of the students. I am richer as a dean for teaching, she said. One of the reasons Van Ort said she came to Eau Claire was the flexibility of the position. It is this flexibility, she said, allowing her to determine which courses she will teach to which students. Dunng a typical semester Van Ort spends about two and a half weeks traveling to places throughout the country for faculty recruiting or conferences, she said. Van Ort said the interactions with other deans and professionals is important to make sure we're going in the appropriate direction. 192 Nurvnx SCHOOL OF NURSING � . vl“T ISTRAT,0N ASST. OF AN.

Dean Suzanne Van Ort said. Nursing students must maintain a cumulative gradepoint of 2.25 and meet certain health requirements. When considering an application for admission. Van Ort said the school no longer uses interviews or references, but considers high school academic standardized tests and a health report. The school may deny some qualified applicants admission because of limited enrollment in the program. Van Ort said. The School of Nursing is accredited by the State Board of Nursing. After going through the four-year program and obtaining a Bachelor of Science, graduates can take State Board examinations and become registered nurses. All graduates are placed in part because Wisconsin has a shortage of nurses. Van Ort said. The nursing program began in 1965, and it has grown rapidly. Van Ort has plans for the continued growth of the program. By the fall of 1981, she said, the school plans to offer a Masters of Science in nursing. The school also plans to have off-campus programs and programs for the continuing education of registered nurses, she said. School o Nunin Ml Summer interim classes not the usual A study in American authors, a course dealing with women and family and a course covering Iranian history are a few of the courses to be offered during the eight-week summer session at UW-Eau Claire. In addition to long and short term courses, numerous workshops, seminars and clinics are offered to improve students’ skills. Foreign programs are available for the interim and summer school sessions through the foreign programs office, including a European summer trip, a summer session in Monterrey. Mexico, and interim sessions in Germany, Spain, and Mexico. light and lasers. Chemistry for Artists, Ethics and Business and The Press in Washington are among the courses proposed for the 1980 spring interim. The courses offered for summer school registration are determined on the basis of student preferences from a poll taken in March each year. About 3.000 summer school students usually attend UW-Eau Claim, depending in part on the job availability at the time. 191 Summcr wMerifn Interns learn by earning learning and earning is whal the cooperative and internship programs are all about at UW-Eau Claire. The programs bring business, industries and government together with students and educators as students are given a chance to test their career goals, improve their skills and earn money. Internship programs are offered in the accountancy, office administration and business education departments. Other departments help students find internships on their own. Cooperative education is in 20 departments. They have different names, but the programs are similar; both give academic credit for the job. follow similar policies and hold identical goals. Cerald C. Ehrmeyer coordinates both programs. The co-op program is relatively new at UW-Eau Claire and is in the process of expanding. For example, students formerly had to remove themselves from campus and work full time. Now they have developed a parallel program allowing students to work part time and still go to school. The summer co-op intemship program is also new at UW-Eau Claire. In the past there have been coordinated jobs during the school year. But this year UW-Eau Claire has been involved in lining up summer jobs. The most advantageous time for students to participate is the summer between the junior and senior year, he said. There are more applicants than jobs. Ehrmeyer said. If the student obtains a job, he must submit a job description to the co-op office and the department involved for approval if he wants to earn any credits. Students appreciate the value of a work experience in the field of their study. Robert Roddy, a physics major, got credit for working in the planning department of Northern States Power Co., in Eau Claire. “I would recommend it to anybody who isn't quite sure that what they are going into is right for them, Roddy said. You don't get a totally realistic view until you get out and work, especially in technical fields. Sharon Boyer, another former co-op participant, said the experience in-dreased her confidence tremendously. Boyer supervised 25 people on a General Motors Co. truck assembly line. Boyer, who now plans a career in production planning and control, said she would never have known what production techniques entailed without her coop experience. Many corporations consider graduating interns at the baccalaureate level as competitive candidates for employment to those receiving master's degrees and possessing no work experience. Employers gain from the co-op education program, too. It has proven a valuable tool in reducing the cost of recruiting and retaining quality personnel. Firms also get a good on-campus image through satisfied co-op students. Co-op students help productivity, too, because co-op workers may work on a project which would normally not be carried out without additional help. Although 20 departments offer programs, very few are actively involved regularly. Rarely is a co-op assignment found tor the art or history department. The most popular areas are accountancy, management information systems. and business administration man-agement.

I remember looking out the plane window—my first thought was. Well, it ain't the Midwest.’ The next three months would give a deeper significance to that observation. We would learn to live with the illiteracy. We would leam to cope with the frustration of the language barrier. And we would leam the deep, easy laughter of the heart that comes from learning all those other things. The first weeks were, of course, the most hectic and the most fascinating. Each of us came to the realization that nothing could have prepared us for a time when everything we knew was either wrong or useless. We had to leam how to settle into a new kind of routine. For many, it was the first time train schedules were important. But words cannot begin to describe the rewards. Perhaps one of the most important lesson we've learned is how to roll with the punches. And we've gained the satisfaction of friendships that not even the language gap can hinder. As this is written, we have five months to go on out great adventure-and it is an adventure. If the first part of the trip was any indication, we still have a long, rewarding ride ahead of us. Tom Pantera Sophia Universiry 1% Sludm Abroad 'It ain't the Germany Kiel, Germany. Until UW-Eau Claire established an exchange with the Chris-tian-Albrechts University there, I didn't even know where the city was located. Since only one student can take part. I knew that independence and self-motivation would be necessary qualities for a productive year. I felt ready to take up the challenge. My mid-October arrival in Kiel was greeted with two weeks of beautiful and sunny, though cold, weather. As Kiel is not known for good weather, this was an unexpectedly pleasant welcome. During my first week, the numerous duties demanded my attention: language tests, matriculation, registration with various offices, physical examination ... The list seemed endless, and I wondered what foreign students in the U.S.A. have to do before actually commencing their studies. After this initial rush, things calmed down and I began to get more of a feel for mv new surroundings. Although Kiel is definitely a city, that is not the impression it gives. Because it lies directly around a bay near the Baltic Sea, there is an almost constant breeze which keeps the air fresh and clean. By car, train, or bicycle, the rural parts of Schleswig-Holstein, with a landscape similar to Wisconsin, are easily accessible. My dorm is within two minutes walking distance from two large parks and fifteen minutes from the bay. I feel strangely at home here. Even the weather has been Eau Claire-ish —IIn autumn, rain and wind, and now, snow cold and wind. My being a foreign student here is nothing out of the ordinary; people from many other countries live, study and or work in Kiel. This as well as Germany's central location, make it a good place to leam not only about the German people, language and customs, but those of other European peoples. The experience is well worth the adjustments it entails. Susan Roeder Christian-Albrechls Universiry Midwest; but it's rewarding England Last September, 1H students embarked from Chicago's O'Hare Airport, bound for UW-Eau Claire's first London Studies program. For many, it was their first trip off the North American continent. Finally, after numerous backgammon games, The Muppet Movie, and introductions to all the new faces, our plane landed at Skiphol Field in Amsterdam, Holland. A city with more canals than Venice, Amsterdam is the home of the Heineken Brewery as well as Rembrandt, Anne Frank, and Van Gogh. And who could leave out its infamous red light district. After three days of shopping, riding trams and visiting museums, we relaxed on a tour coach headed for Brussels, Belgium. There we changed currency, from guilders to Belgian fanes. After a night on the town, we ventured through the French countryside to Paris, escorted by Wayne Lindquist, Patrick George and William Pearson. For four days, we roamed through Paris, absorbing the sights: the Louvre, the Arc de Triumphe, the Eiffel Tower and the magnificent Palace of Versaille. After three nights of sipping liter beers and window shopping at Paris’ most fashionable shops we headed for Calais and a hovercraft flight across the English Channel to the white cliffs of Dover. Once in London, most of us settled into our residence at 33 Cranly Gardens. Initially students were given an extensive orientation, allowing them an individual approach to London in the months following our arrival. At the University of London Union, UWEC students were introduced to the masters of drama, British life and civilization British novels, British art at the Tate Gallery and the governmental and educational systems of England. Each class utilized different aspects of London: Richard III, lulius Caesar and The Merry Wives of Windsor were seen by the drama class, while the British life class ventured out each week to places like Churchill’s war room at 10 Downing Street Annex, Parliament, and such far away places as Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon and Windsor Castle. Weekends and the Thanksgiving vacation were filled with excursions through England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, seeing castles. Oxford, Loch Ness, climbing Mt. Snowden and even kissing the Blarney Stone. Some students traveled further to catch the Pope at the Vatican in Rome, score some sun on a Grecian beach in October, or ski in the Swiss Alps. Weeknights and afternoons might be spent at a quiet tea at Harrods or picketing the Iranian embassy. Students from UWEC did both. Other activities, such as the two Thames riverboat cruises, were coordinated through AIFS, which kept calendars full. When it was all over, the group headed for Amsterdam for the flight home, not quite realizing yet what the experience meant to them or their newfound friends. Tom Griffith University of London r Ti i H Learning for fun University minicourses are for people who always wanted to learn a particular skill, but never had the chance to do so before. The purpose of the program is to provide low-cost, non-credit educational opportunities outside the traditional curriculum of the university. The courses fee covers the instructor's pay, necessary class materials, and advertising costs. Persons registered at the university or members of their family may take a minicourse. Minicourses are offered both fall and spring semesters. Participation in minicourses has greatly increased during the last year. Last fall (1978) only eight courses were offered; this fall 13 minicourses were available. These courses are taught by people from all over the community. These people come in and share their expertise or hobby with others. A few instructors are from the university staff and some students teach. The length and size of each class is determined by the minicourse being taught. Some require more learning and teaching time than others. The goal for UW-Eau Claire minicourses is 25 classes a semester. Minicourses are on weekends or at night for a few hours, accommodating everyone wanting to take a course. Batik was one of the courses this year. Fundamental calligraphy, crochet, quilting, beginning lapanese culture and language, backgammon, belly, disco and Oriental dancing are offered. These courses give students a chance to meet people who are interested in the same hobby while learning more about it. k 1S6 MWmcounn College Bowl Varsity sport of the mind It K 12 minutes of rapid-fire questions covering areas of literature, politics, history, science, math, and sports. The teams start at the intramural level moving on to the intercollegiate conference, and with success, onto intercollegiate championships. Unbeaten, the teams compete at the national level. For 10 points and a chance at a bonus question, name this scholastic competition in three seconds or less. The answer-the College Bowl, “the varsity sport of the mind, said Paula Stuettgen, College Bowl coordinator. This nationwide competition began Oct. 10, 1953, and has since received recognition at local, state and international levels, and from Congress and past presidents. During the Quiz Show Scandal of 1959, College Bowl was the only game of its kind permitted to stay on the air. The three levels of College Bowl competition are intramural-students competing within their own schools; Intercollegiate Conference-different universities competing against each other; and Intercollegiate Tournament. Winners of this tournament go on to the national competition in Miami. At each competition the officials are a judge, scorekeeper, announcer and timekeeper. There are two teams with four mem- bers each participating in the games. Those eligible to play must be full-time students in good academic standing. The College Bowl competition, consisting of two six-minute halves begins with a 10 point toss-up question. The contestant to signal first is allowed to answer the question without help from teammates. If answered correctly, the team earns the 10 points, but if answered incorrectly, the opponent has a chance to answer. Then the team answering correctly, is given a bonus question which members may confer on. The questions, varying on subjects, are chosen by the Editorial Research Department of Reader's Digest. This is UW-Eau Claire's third year in College Bowl competition. UWEC has gone to national competition in the past and aims to succeed at the national title this year, k Concur Bowl 199 Paperless office An office that operates without paper? The idea sounds ridiculous, but it is a development in UW-Eau Claire's Business Administration office. Dr. William Mitchell, the department chairman of office administration and business education, introduced the idea of the paperless office after touring the Micronet office in the Watergate building in Washington D.C What Mitr hell saw at Micronet was an office that functioned on practically no paper. It does not eliminate paper totally, but there is much reduction in the use of paper, Mitchell said. Mitchell said everything was on microfilm and microfiche. The office's mail room is like a microfilming lab, Mitchell said. All the paper that comes into the office is put on microfilm that is read on a screen, Mitchell explained. We have the heart of a paperless office right now, he said. The three basic components needed to run a paperless office are the key stations resembling a typewriter that prints the documents for the microfilm, the printer making the documents and the central processing unit or CPU that is the mass storage area of the microfilm documents. A screen is attached to the key station so that the message or document is visible for editing and reading. The CPU can hold up to 2XXX) words and the information stored in the CPU can be retrieved anytime for viewing on the attached screen, Mitchell said. There are many reasons why Mitchell is trying to get this paperless office started. For one thing, student interest in the word processing courses offered at UW-Eau Claire has been increasing rapidly for the past few years, Mitchell said. The upgrading of the word processing system would give students a first hand encounter with the system used in most businesses. Within the next two years, one million electronic key stations will be in operation, he said. Not only is this word processing system beneficial to UW-Eau Claire students, but it will increase productivity of the office, he explained. An office operates with oral and written communication, he said. Mitchell explained that people have been writing and typing at the same speed for a long time, the rate never greatly increases so office productivity must be increased through advanced equipment and better office procedures. There is a great demand for graduates with experience using this word processing system, Mitchell said, Last year Shell Oil Company came to UW-Eau Claire and said they would hire 150 secretarial graduates who were experienced with this microfilming system. There were 11 UW-Eau Claire graduates to fill these positions, Mitchell said. The development of the paperless office is in the making right now, Mitchell said. The business administration office just needs a few additions to upgrade the system before it can actually operate as a paperless office, but the heart of the system if already functioning, according to Mitchell. This microfilm system would make UW-Eau Claire the first educational system to have such an operation, Mitchell said. It would be used in the instructional program for students and serve as a model for other colleges and universities who were interested in the operation of such a system, Mitchell explained. We want to set the pace, not follow it, he said. Biorhythms Get to know your teacher better by studying his biorhythimic chart. If the information is used correctly, it would possibly improve your grade and would undoubtedly improve your student-teacher relationship. By knowing the day-to-day physical and emotional tendencies of your teacher, you could gear your actions and words yielding the best results. According to biorhythmic theory, human beings possess constant metabolic rhythms established at birth affecting one's physical, mental and emotional ups and downs throughout life. The theory is rather questionable but there are currently studies on the subject. The general theory is based on people's differing cycles mathematically calculated using their birthdates. The effects of biorhythms aren't obvious; they are simply guides to a day's in- clination. However, the inclination isn't usually apparent unless the individual encounters a situation likely to bring it out. Unlike astrology or fortune telling, the biorhythms aren't a prediction, but rather a guide which allows you to compensate for a critical period. For example, if one were making an important decision on an emotionally critical day, the biorhythms would indicate that he would be wise to postpone the decision until a more positive day. Outside variables can affect and override the rhythms but the underlying tendency remains. A biorhythmic chart of your teacher can be a useful tool in guiding your behavior in class. If you know your teacher is having an intellectually low day it would be wise not to frustrate him with tricky questions and mind games. On a positive intellectual day, the teacher is more inclined to deal openly with new subjects and display a desire to be challenged mentally. If you're considering asking for an extension on a paper or project, consider the teacher's emotional phase. The request will most likely be rejected if sought during the second half of the 28-day emotional cycle at which point he is more irritable and moody. On a physically low day it would be advisable to avoid any type of friction in the classroom. Obtaining the biorhythmic chart of your teacher is easy. Many daily newspapers have a section on biorhythm calculation and firms such as the Institution of Bi-orhythmk Analysis will mail you a computer printout of a year's rhythms for a small fee. All you need to know is your teacher's birthday and you're on your way to a better classroom relationship. Observatory helps students learn A new observatory’ will be shared by the university and the Eau Claire County Youth Camp. This observatory, which was financed by a $20,000 grant from the Hobbs Foundation, is located in the country, which will allow students to locate and photograph objects in the sky much easier. The old observatory, located on top of Phillips Science Hall, was more convenient for students, but the lights of the city are reflected in the sky and often make it difficult to distinguish and identify faint objects in the sky, said Robert Elliott, assistant professor of physics. The observatory will be maintained and scheduled by the youth camp, while the university will supply equipment and sky study materials. UW-Eau Claire will also provide people to conduct informal star parlies for campers and camp visitors. The observatory is connected to a computer on campus, which will allow people to find out which objects can be seen under certain conditions. It can also be used to assist people hunting for certain stars, galaxies, nebulae, planets and asteroids. Astronomy students conduct projects using a photoelectric photometer, a light-sensitive meter, to measure the brightness, color and temperatures of stars. Obtcrvjlorv 2D1 Grades fairer with plus minus system Grade inflation, something many officials feared would result from a plus minus grading system, has not been a deciding factor during the system's first year of operation, according to David W. Mattes, director of records. Academic Affairs Vice Chancellor John Morris said the plus minus system has received very little criticism since it was added to the straight letter grad-ing.system in the fall of 1978. I haven't heard a whole lot about it, Morris said. He said freshmen and sophomores have never known a different system. Despite the fears of an increase in high grades. Mattes said the university's gradepoint average actually decreased .06 in 1978's fall semester from the 1977 tall semester average of 2.8. In the spring semester, the average decreased .04 from the 2.9 average of a year eariier. Chemistry professor Melvin Gleiter said the gradepoint average for his Chemistry 103 classes did increase slightly since the adoption of the plus minus system. In the fall of 1977, before the system was initiated, his class had a 2.75 gradepoint average. The average in the fall of 1978 was 2.80. I find that my grading is more accurate and I believe students will get a fairer return on their investment when I use this method. Gleiter said. He said more students may be receiving A- grades since people who would have gotten B's under the old system are now receiving an A- or B + . Kenneth Foote, biology professor, said it was not fair to give C+ and C-students a C grade. Employers and graduate schools look more favorably on a student if they know the specifics of his grades, he said. It tells us and the students and everybody just where the student stands. Foote said. Leo J. Christy, music professor, said he opposed the plus minus addition at first because he thought grades should have a wider range and not be pinpointed. Now, however, he said he favors the change because it is a fairer and more accurate way of grading that also helps in deciding borderline cases. Vernon Gingerich, foreign language department chairman, disagreed, saying there is a certain wishy-washiness connected with the plus minus system. The old system with its definite categories was more specific he said. Gingerich said that even though he's found it somewhat easier to grade with the plus minus option, he still likes the old system. Just because there are pluses and minuses there, doesn't mean I have to use them. he said. Morris, however, said the plus minus system was established with the intent it would not be optional. Frankly I would prefer not having two systems,” he said. In May 1979, the Faculty Senate decided teachers who do not use the lus minus system must notify their students of this decision in writing, at the beginning of the semester. Overall, the system was heavily supported by the faculty. Morris said. He said there had not been much response from the students. As many students like it as dislike it. said Kenneth Kievet. chairman of the Student Senate's Academic Affairs Commission. Kievet. though, said he opposes the system. Students have enough pressure to perform using the straight A.B.C system without having to worry about a plus or minus, he said. Kievet said he objected to the grade-point values given to some grades. He said a B-. which has a 2.67 gradepoint should be closer in value to 3.0 which applies to B's. Kievet said he is also bothered because a person with a C-grade average now faces academic warning, since that grade's point value of 1.67 is less than 2D. There is little difference between a C +, C, and C-. he said. Because it has only been in effect for a year. Kievet said, it was too cariy to promote any changes. It is unfortunate students have to put up with it, he said. It is something you have to live with. JDl Plui mintM Ktidn Chute believes enthusiasm is key II a teacher is interested in what he is teaching, then his students will also be interested. That K the belief of Phillip Chute. UW-Eau Claire associate professor of physics and recipient of the university's 14th Excellence in Teaching Award. Chute has taught at UW-EC since 1969. and served as physics department chairman since 1977. The annual award is presented to recognize faculty members for outstanding educational service to students. University alumni from the past three years' graduating classes are asked to nominate faculty members who they feel have stimulated students both in and out of the classroom with high standards of scholarship, a heightened interest in learning and a greater interest in learning. As part of the award. Chute received $$00 from the UW-EC Foundation, was honored at the 1979 spring commencement program and was the speaker for the 1979 winter commencement exercises. I'm very honored. Chute said. The most satisfying thing is being remembered by past students. He said a teacher likes to know he is creating a favorable impression among his students. Chute, who teaches upper level phys- ics classes, as well as a general education physical science course, said interest is required for a teacher to be successful. If a teacher is interested in his students and his subjects, then he can make the classroom an interesting place to be ... I try to demonstrate my enthusiasm. I also try to treat each student as an individual, he said. I don't know what a class could possibly think if it looks at an instructor who is not enthusiastic, Chute said. He said faculty members who are not enthusiastic about the class they are teaching will just have to act. Chute compared a disinterested teacher to a performer who must present the same show night after night, with the same enthusiasm at each show. Faculty members have to generate that enthusiasm, even on days they don't feel enthusiastic ' he said. Academic advising a mixed blessing for both parties The ideal academic advisor; Always stays in his or her office (posted hours or not); gently prods, but never pushes you into taking those awful recommended courses; helps you decide on a specific career goal if you haven't set one yet. The ideal student advisee: knows exactly what he or she wants from school and life; does well in classes; sees the advisor as wise, someone to be obeyed when it comes to course selections and degree plans; but most of all, is flexible and easily molded. From the standpoint of many students, this description characterizes the desired relationships between students and their advisors. But in reality this relationship can range from perfunctory assistance with degree planning to informal counseling about a career, school or family prob- lem. There are problems on both sides of this relationship. Students may go for years without every contacting their advisors at all, except to have their class registration cards signed. Sometimes even this step is skipped. The need for an advisor's guidance varies with a student's program and class level. Freshmen, in particular, may feel a strong need for reassurance that they are making the right choices and following the right procedures. Theresa McDonald, a freshman planning a nursing major, expressed feelings typical of many other freshmen. Although most of my classes are required and my program design is in essence a sequential one, I still like to have a little bit of reassurance knowing that everything has been okayed by my advi- sor, she said. Students must understand that when an advisor urges a student to take a certain class, though it may not actually be required, it is only because the advisor believes it will benefit the student in the long run. Equally, advisors must understand that some students simply do not want to lake certain classes and will only resent being encouraged to take them. Being an advisor can be very frustrating, said Elwood Karwand, chairman of the journalism department. You want to see the student and help, he said, but you can't always tell the student what he wants to hear. It is hard to be available whenever a student wants an appointment. Mail o iuHIrncr AcHnon 203 Volunteering Students explore Many university students become dissatisfied with their majors once they learn what the field involves. And once in the job market, they may find their prospective employers require workers with experience. Both of these problems can be somewhat alleviated by one class offered at UW-Eau Claire. The volunteer services class in the social work department is required for all social work majors. Dennis Johnson, the class instructor, said many students volunteered before the class became mandatory. We just felt that it was something we should ask them to do, he said. They can have some taste of what it's like to OH Volunteer, for credit, fun jobs, get experience work with people early in their career. lohnson said the class is designed to help students learn to work with people and give them an opportunity to decide about their major before they become upperclassmen. The one-credit course requires each student to put in 30 hours of volunteer work per semester at an approved social agency. Johnson said he has a list of approximately 15 agencies where students can work, such as hospitals and adolescent group homes. Unlike most classes, it meets only three times in the semester. At the first class meeting, the students are told what to expect from their jobs and have an opportunity to meet agency representatives and make arrangements to work at UWEC's Volunteer Day. Activities vary with each agency, he said. Of the approximately f 0 students enrolled in the class, most are freshmen and sophomores. Beth Pike, a UWEC senior, worked as a volunteer two years ago keeping score for a bowling team from the Community Development Center, a vocational center for the retarded. The job was much more than keeping score, she said. She tried to get the team to interact with people, become interested in competition and out of an apathetic state. Although she expected the job to involve more social work. Pike said she learned much about working with people. Senior Suzanne Graham spent her semester last fall working at the Kismet Home for Girls. She was assigned an adolescent girl and tried to serve as a role model and a sister. I tried to show her that people can turn out to be okay and that the world was not that bad, she said. The experience taught me very much about myself and about working with young people. she said. Volunteers 205 Academic leave is students'option Many college students wonder what it would be like to leave school lor a year. Not quit or drop out, but take a long vacation. A few students actually leave lor a year and take this vacation. In the 1977-78 school year 46 students applied lor and received permission for academic leave, said Jeanne Hugo, academic leave counselor. Academic leave is UW-Eau Claire's official program for taking an extended vacation. The program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have at least 30 credits. To receive academic leave, a student must get the signature of their advisor, the dean of their school and approval of the faculty senate, said Hugo. During the absence, an effort is made to stay in contact with the student, said Hugo. The students are mailed newsletters and Spectators to make them (eel a part of the university, she said. When the students reenter school, they may follow the same catalog they were under when they left. Of the 46 who took academic leave in 1978.60 percent returned, said Hugo. Although there are no figures on the remainder, Hugo said ten percent had probably transferred to another school. Another ten to 15 percent had probably found work which is meaningful to them, and they want to continue. Hugo said. Students applying for leave are asked to come in for an hour or two of counseling, said Hugo, to determine the students' reasoning for wanting to lake a leave. Each case is considered on an individual basis, she said. Many students want to leave to travel or to work, said Hugo. Others want time to re-evaluate their direction. Some people have to be away to decide their goals, said Hugo. Many students applying for leave are uncertain of their majors. Generally, the students applying for leave are doing well academically. One-fourth of them have a 3.0 or better gradepomt, and the majority of them have a 2.5 or better, said Hugo. Although academic leave is usually granted for a one semester period, it can be extended for two or three semesters if there is a valid reason, said Hugo. An unknown number of students take a year off without applying for academic leave. A student doing this risks losing credits and may have to follow the guidelines of an updated catalog. Keith Baumann, was a junior when he left UW-Eau Claire in 1978 without academic leave. I wanted to find out what working was all about, said Baumann. I had a chance for a responsible position and school was becoming monotonous, he said. Baumann returned to school in 1979. During his absence he rethought his career goals. Although he changed majors, he reported no problems in being readmitted. Although it was definitely the right choice for himself, Baumann said he could not advise anyone else. It depends on the individual. For me, it was the right thing to do. I don't know what to tell anyone else. JX. Year Oil Four-year graduate becoming rare Most majors al UW-Eau Claire are design'd to be completed in four years. Rare is the person who finishes his studies in less than four years; just as rare seems to be the person who finishes in four years. Many people are now taking more than tour years to complete their degrees. There seems to be a lot of work to do in a few years, said Robert Ponto, who spent five and a half years at UWEC. Clair Jean Lee, a chemistry business major who graduated after five years said, I could have graduated in four years, I know I goofed around a bit. but it is all a part of growing up and enjoying learning. A student who switches majors seems to be destined to spend more than four years at the university. Mark Huss. who has spent seven years at college, said If you are going to spend your life doing something, you had better enjoy it. In my case, I enjoy art and music (two of his previous majors) and soon they became work. When that happened, it is time to switch. Accounting is can enjoy and still make a living at. Many students are locked into a course of action at the university when they realize one of the prerequisites to the required class they have not taken. This will require an extra semester or year. Or the class is only offered every two years and this was the wrong year. Yet other students take more than four years because they are less than full-time students. It is almost necessary to carry 15 or more credits each semester in order to graduate on time. The biggest problem with taking more than four years to complete school is the loss of financial aid. After four years, all a students grants and work study is gone. This loss may force the student to only attend school half-time or to drop out for a semester in order to earn tuition. This adds to the time spent at the university. But a quality education seems to be the goal of all, and it seems to be achieved, even if it takes more than four for some. •seniors seniors seniors seniors seniors CINDY AAVANG. Biology. Ml.

On Christmas Day, the Soviets sent troops across the Russian borders into Afghanistan. Carter responded by calling the intervention, The most serious threat to world peace during my administration. Carter said the intervention into Afghanistan was a prelude for other threatening military actions the Soviets had planned. In his speech to the nation in January. Carter warned the Soviets that if they were to cross over Pakistani borders or move into the Persian Gulf, it would mean war between the two nations. Carter took other actions. He endorsed an increase in United States defense spending. Carter also appealed to the International Olympic Committee, asking for a delay of the games, a transfer of the site, or an elimination of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The United States vowed to boycott the games if they were held in Moscow. On lanuary 23, during the State-of-the-Union address. Carter said he was going to reinstate the Selective Service registration. This meant 18-26 year old men, and possibly women, would register his or her name on a postcard and send it to the Secret Service Office. Thoughts of the Vietnam era were prevalent. Until this time, people could remove themselves from whatever was happening overseas. Now things were hitting home. Carter's plan to reinstate the draft brought about rallies on college cam- Iran: 'A wound to our national pride' On Nov. 4, 1979, Iranian students stormed the United States embassy in Tehran, Iran holding about 60 Americans hostage. Their message was clear—they would release the Americans, when the United States relumed the deposed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The Shah, invited to the United States to receive medical treatment, became a symbol of American determination, during the next few months, according to a White House aide. President Carter made it clear that the United States would not, under any circumstances, resort to giving in to the Iranians. The tension mounted. The country waited. At last there was word from the Iranians: they would release 13 hostages. Later, one hostage not among those released wrote in a letter, We are being kept in semi-darkened rooms; our hands are tied day and night. Bright lights are kept burning all night, and because of the constant noise, it is almost impossible to sleep. The United States took action against Iran. Economic pressures were ordered. All Iranian students in the United States were required to have their credentials checked. Oil imports were cut off from Iran. Still the country waited for the release of the remaining 53 hostages. By Christmas nothing had changed. At the White House, Carter refused to light the national Christmas tree, except for a shining star of hope at the top of the tree. The rest of the lights will come on when the hostages come home, Carter said. By this time, the country had begun to rally. Many people sent Christmas greetings to the hostages in Tehran. It was assumed that the hostages knew little of the efforts of the American government to free them. Iranian students were reported to have kept the hostages secluded and blindfolded most of the time. What came next was an unexpected reconsider questions of war and peace puses across the country. On lanuary 31, eight days after Carter's speech, students at UW-Eau Claire had an afternoon anti-draft rally in the Blugold. Though most of the students openly opposed the draft, there was a scattering of those in favor of it. One such student said. The person who fears war the most is the American soldier. I tear war, but I am not afraid to go to war. But most of the students appeared to share the sentiments of English professor Al Curtis. If our world is going to survive much longer, we are going to have to use the instruments ol peace, rather than instruments of destruction, he said. It was a time for students to re-examine their priorities and to make a choice. It was a time to act. or not to act. Meanwhile, the hostages continued to wait in Iran. In early April, Barbara Timm, of Oak Creak, Wisconsin, visited her son. Marine Sgt. Kevin Hermaning, at the U.S. embassy in Tehran for 45 minutes. A night-time effort to rescue the hostages fail« d on April 25. leaving 8 U.S. servicemen dead. Defense Secretary Harold Brown said the attempt to rescue the hostages was aborted al a refueling stop in an Iranian desert when three of the eight helicopters (ailed. In spite of the failure. Brown told reporters. Let no one doubt our resolve and let no one misunderstand the meaning of these events. We will not rest until we have secured the release of the hostages. Three days later. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance resigned from his position, apparently in protest of the rescue attempt. He said he could not offer public backing for President Carter's decision to send a military force into Iran. Maine Senator Edmund Muskie replaced Vance as Secretary of State after a 94-2 vote approval by the Senate. While almost everyone had his own theories and ideas about Iran by now, an editorial that appeared in The Spec tator seemed to summarize the general belief of the Iranian situation: Iran. Just one year ago the volatile Mideast country meant very little to the average American. Today it symbolizes a nagging wound to our national pride and a threat which may be bringing out the worst in our government. What the president will do next is All of us wonder what it all means and why it apparently has to be this way. Perhaps there are no answers. Athletes are mid-air in a decision between loyalty to themselves, their dreams and a goal they have spent agonizing hours practicing for. preparing for, and dreaming about, and a less tangible loyalty to a cause and their country. President Carter's speech expressing his opposition to sending the U.S. Olympic team to the 1980 Summer Olympics because of Soviet forces in Afghanistan was received with overwhelming response. The House voted J88-12 to back the President's request that the Olympics either be moved from Moscow, canceled or boycotted. And although many athletes have expressed disappointment, Al Oerter, a four-time gold medal discus thrower, seemed to express a growing sentiment. It is time to put personal considerations aside. anybody’s guess. In light of last week's military activity in Iran, Americans are prepared for any possibility. The Athlete's Advisory Council, which serves the U.S. Olympic Committee, passed a resolution proposing that the summer games be transferred away from Moscow or canceled. Carter has asked for the support of 100 other nations in his atlempt to show the Soviet Union the widespread disapproval their actions have caused. The Netheriands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain joined the U.S. cause. Other nations such as Japan, France and Germany have been more cautious in responding. Official statements when Moscow was awarded the games said the decision was a victory for Communism, a justification of the Soviet way of life. A boycott by the world's strongest powers would only serve to refute this philosophy. Y fit in Irvin 271 Susan B. Anthony dollar introduced, public unenthusiastic A new coin was introduced to America in July 1979. The coin, an elevensided dollar, bears the portrait o( Susan B. Anthony, a 19th century suffragist. In 1920, 14 years after her death, the 19th Amendment was enacted, giving women the right to vote. The U.S. Mint doesn't want the new dollar to disappear eventually, as did the Eisenhower dollar and the Jefferson two-dollar bill. It h spending $600,000 on a campaign to help the Anthony dollar to win acceptance. A 20-page package was distributed to bankers, urging them to name new branches the Susan B. Anthony Branch. Diagrams were given out to show merchants how to reorganize cash drawers to accommodate the new coin. The Treasury’s hopes for the Anthony dollar are high, and are based on the coin's advantages. The coin, composed of nickel-covered copper, weights two thirds less than the Eisenhower dollar. It is also less expensive to produce than the paper dollar—3 cents for a coin expected to last 15 years versus 1.8 cents for a bill lasting 18 months. The coin's distinctive shape aids the blind, while helping store clerks and bank tellers speed up transactions and reduce errors. It should also cut down on the jammings in currency counting machines. The coin, however, has received some opposition because retailers and consumers often mistake the Anthony coin for a quarter. Gold, silver prices set worldwide record price increases This year the world commodities markets for gold and silver have been registering record high selling prices. In September 1979, the price of gold soared 50 percent and the price of silver tripled since January to a record high price, according to •'Newsweek.' The price of silver was at a record high price of $11.85 an ounce in September 1979. The price of gold leaped to $634 in lanuary 1980. from its price of $424.90 a month earlier. The skyrocketing prices of silver and gold could be attributed to the monetary and political uncertainties and both are a hedge against the steady depreciation of the U.S. dollar, James E. Sinclair, currency expert said. The economic principles causing the price increases are the shortage of gold relative to supply, the continuing inflation rate increases and the threat of an oil price increase or shortage. The political circumstances, especially the Iranian-hostage situation and the buildup of American-Soviet tensions over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, also contributed to the tremendous gold price increase. People want a tangible asset in times when everything else is uncertain, so buyers are replacing the dollar with gold. The outlook for the 1980s for the commodity fever is in theory, that a recession would cut back the demand for commodities and stabali e the markets. But the fears of economic problems, inflation and the depreciating dollar, will not disappear immediately. 272 I'm in Rrvirv Recession, inflation At the beginning of 1979. Americans were faced with two imminent economic problems: a possible recession and increasing inflation. The unstable economy was offset by increasing gas prices early in the year. This, accompanied by a threatening gas shortage, caused people to become more energy conscious. Thermostats were turned down and production of smaller, more fuel efficient cars in- reased. As a result, sales of big gas-guzzlers fell and many large-car models were discontinued. The Federal Reserve Board, trying to hold down the expansion of credit, voted to raise the discount rate (the interest charged to commercial banks for borrowing money for lending). By increasing the discount rate, commercial banks were discouraged from borrowing money. Therefore, it was also difficult for private individuals to borrow money. plague country The most notable change in the economy was in the stability of the dollar. Due to the uncertainty of the situation in Iran and Afghanistan, people invested in real assets-mainly gold-that might prove more secure in an international crisis. Cold prices soared to more than $700 an ounce and fluctuated daily. President Carter blocked the sale of 17 million metric tons of grain to the Soviet Union in retaliation for its invasion of Afghanistan, causing wheat, com and soybean prices to fall drastically. He then attempted to use the excess grain in the production of gasohol, hoping to save farmers from losing more money. One somewhat bright spot in the economy was the increase of the minimum wage to $3.10 per hour. However, accompanying this was an increase in social security taxes. By the end of 1979, the inflation rale had reached 13 percent. Gas prices soar, rationing threatened Where are all the good old days when gasoline was only SO cents a gallon, when people did not have to worry whether they would be able to find an open gasoline station or if they would even get gasoline once they got there Did people ever think they would have to pay more than a dollar a gallon for gasoline In 1979, gasoline prices increased 42 percent over the prices of the preceding year. This dramatic increase in gasoline prices meant the American people had to start changing their lifestyles to coincide with increasing prices People no longer drove alone. Car pooling with friends, neighbors and co-workers became a familiar sight throughout the country. Some families decided not to take their summer vacation in their favorite spot because there might not be enough gas to get there and back. People began making one maior trip to the grocery store instead of several smaller trips. People can no longer waste gasoline; they have to conserve. When gasoline shortages occur, prices rise, and people must then cut down on their use of gasoline. Gasoline rationing can occur when the supply of gas goes down. Gasoline rationing can encourage people to buy smaller cars, to take advantage of car pooling, and other conservation forms to conserve the supply of gasoline. Advocates of rationing say it's not only a way to deal with the current problem of the shortage of gas, but also it's a way to reduce America's dependency on imported oil. Without some type of rationing, gasoline prices will soar and people's lifestyles will have to change even more. Year in Rrv r« Z73 1980 campaign brings forth a multitude of candidates To politically-minded American . 1980 meant another election year. Although many of the presidential candidates had been campaigning since the 1976 election. campaigns suddenly stepped up and the country was hit with campaign oromises from everywhere. Scotty Larsen Sr. He didn't exactly take Eau Claire by storm, but he made a lot of us take nolice. He was that unlikely little man who knew that with a few good breaks he could somehow be president of the United States. Key issues in this year's election appear to be the hostage situation in Iran, inflation, the draft and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Women's rights are also important, with emphasis on the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and the possibility of women registering for the draft. On the Democratic side. President Carter sought re-election by campaigning down the Mississippi River in a 19th century steamboat. He was challenged by Sen Ted Kennedy and California Gov. |erry Brown. Brown, however, dropped out of the race in April. In August 1979, one poll showed Kennedy ahead of Carter by almost 20 percent. But by May 1980, Carter had 1206 delegates and Kennedy 664 of the 1666 needed to win the nomination. Kennedy considered running for president twice before, but hesitated because of constant reminders of the Chap-paquiddick incident. The major Republican candidates include Ronald Reagan, the front runner in many polls. Obviously he didn't realize his dream. But Scotty W. Larsen Sr., the energetic factory worker-presidential candidate, did manage to get 34 votes in the Wisconsin primary April 1. His brief, ill-fated campaign cost him thousands of dollars, but when it was over he could still say. It all was worth it. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of people, and I learned an awful lot. too. What more can a man ask? It may have been fun, but it was also costly. Larsen took out $5,000 in loans at one point in his campaign and took off four weeks of work at Uniroyal Rubber Company in the process. All I need is a little momentum. he constantly said. Once the ball gets rolling, this campaign will just lake care of itself. Once people see that I'm for real they will want to contribute and help me out. The contributions were few and far between. Larsen could claim few financial supporters; he certainly enjoyed talking about the few he had. For instance, he often told the story of a fellow Other Republican candidates were |ohn Connally. Howard Baker, Bob Dole, John Anderson, Philip Crane and George Bush. By May 1980, Crane. Dole. Baker and Connally had withdrawn from the race and Anderson had announced his candidacy as an independent. Reagan then led the Republican race with 637 delegates to Bush's 126. Uniroyal worker who gave him a $20 campaign contribution one night. The next night, he was approached again by the same man. I told my wife about the $20 I gave you last night, he told Larsen. She got mad at me. She told me to give this to you instead. and handed Larsen five twenty dollar bills. Larsen now claims that event alone would have made his entire campaign worthwhile. It symbolized more than just a monetary contribution. It was a vital affirmation of approval by a peer. Every place I went on the campaign trail, people encouraged me, Larsen said. It meant a lot to them to see that a fellow working man really could run for president. A lot of them said they probably wouldn't vote for me. but they at least appreciated what I was doing. And that is worth something, too-because I managed to make them aware that politics is more than a big shot's game. ‘l guess you could say 1 consider myself a winner no matter how many votes I get. brings presidential campaign to 274 Year in Rrvirw Robert O'Neil, new UW-System president faces declining enrollment, collective bargaining tem president, O'Neil will receive the traditional high profile, second only to the governor.

O'Neil, 45, is relatively young for the position, but he has been termed a true intellectual and one of the most brilliant men in the country. He's a native of Boston, married and the father of four. He earned his law degree at Harvard. After several years of holding teaching and administrative positions all over the country, O'Neil served as vice president at Indiana University- Bloomington. Students and faculty at Indiana University have said he is a good educational administrator. He doesn’t forget his purpose for being there lies with the students. Vrjf in Review 27S The coming year will see a change at the administrative top of the UYV-System. Robert M. O'Neil was chosen as the new UW-System president Dec. 14. 1979. O'Neil, the executive vice president of the University of Indiana at Bloomington, assumed his new position on Feb. 1. He is the first out-of-state president selected since 1937. It is believed O'Neil's lack of ties in Wisconsin will give him more objectivity with which to measure the strengths and weaknesses of the UW-System and plan for its future. In adjusting to his new position, O'Neil will have to learn how to deal with the Wisconsin legislature and the governor in justifying expenditures and solving problems. O'Neil will be facing the problem of declining enrollment and the issue of collective bargaining for the faculty and staff. O'Neil has a special interest in civil liberties and affirmative action programs. He has stated that he hopes to improve higher educational opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged mral and urban whites. The UW-System presidency is one of the most prestigious academic positions in the country. Wisconsin has a 27-cam-pus system with neariy 150,000 students and a billion dollar budget. As UW-Sys- Silver Mine Hill challenges four Olympic ski- jumpers On lanuarv 2f and 27, at Silver Mine Hill near Eau Claire, championship ski jumpers from throughout the country competed in the Hendrickson Memorial Tournament. More than 7,500 fans witnessed one of the biggest and most competitive events for championship ski-jumpers this year. Four of the top 10 competitors were members of the U.S. Nordic Combined Olympic Team. The winner of the competition, 23-year-old Walter Malmquist of Vermont, set a new hill record of 282 feet. He became the second Nordic combined skier in American history to win the national championship in special jumping. It was his first national combined title. The four lop overall jumpers were members of the U.S. Olympic team. One was 19-year-old Reed Zuehlke, of Eau Claire. Zuehlke placed fourth in the competition. He then left with the rest of the Olympic team for training at Lake Placid, N.Y. before the Olympics. Another Eau Claire man, Carl Trinrud, became a national champion when his jump earned him the Veteran's Class honors. The tournament was the last major competition before the Olympics in February. 276 Year in Rrvww Energy conservation leaves students cool A new type of person has grown oul of the 1970s and 1980s. This new wave individual is pari of the shortage generation, used to shortages of almost everything: coffee, fruits and vegetables, sugar, and most importantly, oil. “Conservation has become a household word since 1973, when the public began to be bombarded through the media with government sponsored energy conservation messages. All over the country, people are cutting down on energy consumption. UWEC is no exception, lames Christenson. direc tor of physical plant, said since the base winter of 1972-73, UWEC has saved an adjusted accumulative amount of savings on the energy bill of 45 percent. This energy cutback is the result of several different methods, the most publicized of which has been the winter thermostat regulations initially decreed by President Nixon in the Energy Act of 1975. The guidelines for daytime temperatures of 67 degrees and nighttime temperatures of 55 degrees in most public buildings have been renewed every nine months. Residential buildings, such as dormitories, are not governed by these guideline's. A permanent law for temperature control Is now being sought. In order to maximize the savings effect of these temperature settings new equipment has been installed in several buildings, including Fine Arts Center, Phillips Hall, and the W.D. McIntyre Library. By controlling temperatures better, this $ 100.000 system will pay for itself by energy savings in three to five years. Christenson said with the help of the three campus maintenance mechanics, all temperatures will be kept at con-scfvalion levels. Reinsulation of pipes carrying hot water and steam in the dormitories and other buildings has cut energy waste. More efficient circulation of steam through the heating pipe's in the dormitories distributes heat more evenly and conserves it as well. Measures to cut unnecessary lighting have also been utilized. For example, a double switch system has been installed in many classrooms and offices. It includes two switches which control different lights or intensities of light, allowing a lesser degree of illumination. Within the next year, a new energy management system is to be installed in physical plant offices. This computer-regulated device. Christenson said, could cut energy consumption by 10 percent. It would regulate room temperatures and other energy outputs. lames Bollinger, assistant chancellor for administrative services, said the adjustment to the energy conservation methods has been positive. Wisconsin K ahead the most states in the process of energy conservation, he said. He said the biggest help in the program lias been the acceptance of staff and students to work in temperatures lower than the most comfortable. Bollinger also said the university encourages individuals to cut energy consumption. The lull with the greatest proportional savings was awarded a cash prize. Car pooling on campus is also a savings. If several commuters pool they pay the parking fee of only one vehicle. Through these programs the university has saved 21 percent on its total energy consumption from last March, 1979. Christenson said this is probably the best of all universities in the state. Yrai in Rrvjcw 277 Age defeats Douglas, Parks; younger men emcee shows Perhaps it was just leftover from the Year of the Child (1979). or perhaps it was the sudden fame of such youthful figures as Kristy McNichol and Brooke Shields. Whatever it was, it seemed to strike at some of the national entertainment industry 's most solid roots in 1980. To the American people, it seemed a pervasive mood of growing young gracefully had taken over the nation. Signs were everywhere: in the streets jogging with the sunrise, at discos for the over-40 set. and even in national politics. No longer was there an age restriction for candidates for office. Even more drastic, however, were some of the changes occurring in the entertainment world, especially the replacements of a certain talk show host and a beauty pageant emcee. At the time it sounded unbelievable— almost preposterous. Who could imagine the Mike Douglas Show without Mike Douglas as the host? Did they realty think |ohn Davidson could satisfy all those people who had grown up to Mike Douglas? And to change the prr gram's name to the John Davidson Show ... well, wasn't that almost like sacrilege? According to the industry's sources, Douglas was earning $2.2 million per year as one of television's highest paid performers. His snydicated show was aired on 153 stations nationwide, but because some stations were afraid of losing viewers who were growing older right along with Douglas, it was decided to replace him with Ron Ely. Douglas is 54. Douglas has changed his show's producers. The previous producers will air a new talk show, while Douglas will produce his own show. Then there was the one shock-filled week during which American put aside their concerns with Iran, the hostages. Afghanistan and Soviet invasions, and turned their attention to a more pressing concern: the tiring of Bert Parks as Miss American Pageant emcee because at 65 Ik did not project a youthful enough im-age. With such prominent people as lohnny Carson and Phyllis George saying things like. Parks is an institution, and no one else should be allowed to sing, 'There She Is' when the new beauty queen is crowned, Parks soon evoked both sympathy and support from many people. Albert Marks, |r„ executive director of the pageant, said firing Parks was one of the nicest thing that has happened to Bert in years. He added the dismissed emcee had already received several job offers. He was right. Soon after being fired. Parks received an invitation to host the Most Beautiful Grandmother Contest in Seaside Heights, N.|. The director of the Interior Depart-men's Heritage Conservation Service even proposed a national monument be created in recognition of Parks' 25 years on the pageant. Parks was also puzzled at Carson's sudden interest in Parks' situation, since each year on the night after pageant. Carson directs some insults to Parks and the contest itself. He came to the conclusion it was only a dark plot to force the pageant's network (NBC) to let Carson out of his contract. At the sixth annual People's Choice Awards, Parks co-hosted with Mariette Hartley. Hartley introduced Parks as “a good-looking older man. When he walked onstage, she added, He doesn't look so old, much to the audience's delight. After one week of the We Want Bert campaign, the public returned to inter-national crises and world politics. The storm seemed to have passed. But people are still jogging at 40 and trying to remain lifetime members of the Pepsi generation. The next Miss American Pageant is not until September. And there's always Phil Donahue and Merv Griffin. 278 Yrjf in Rrv� o« Movies of 1979-80 emphasize the drama, humor in life Movies, a multi-billion dollar industry, often reflect the mood of the American people. Screenwriters, producers and directors try to convey society through the images on the screen. In the early 1979s things went from bad to worse in an era of '’tragedy ' films. There were towering mlernos, earthquakes, poseidon adventures and many, many plane crashes. One disaster led to another of even greater dimensions. Screenwriters tried to outwit each other in writing of the worst that could happen. In the late 1970s, science fiction was the mode, from Invasion of the Body Snatchers” to Star Wars. The 1980s seem to be promising bigger and better things. Society seems to be leaning toward movies that will make them laugh. There's a story to lx told or a lesson to be learned from each marquis heading. America h getting more romance, more comedy and more fun and games. It is also getting a little more skin, but the 1980s are permitting this with very little complaint. Some of the best movies of 1979 are providing preview of what to expect in the 1980s. And for the most part Eau Claire has done its part in bringing these movies to its citizens. There were still thrill movies to be seen, such as Amity-ville Horror, When a Stranger Calls, The Concord, Airport '79 and Dra-cula. There was also a resurgence of science fiction when all of the characters from the television series got together to do one more Star Trek. But these may be exceptions to the rule. The trend in movies lately has been to try to increase people's awareness about situations in life that can and do arise. They are looking into family life and relationships and recognizing the many ways in which they can succeed or fail. The image of women is changing drastically in films conforming with the bigger role women are playing in society. Examples of this are in Kramer vs. Kramer and Starting Over. These films look at the possiblity of men being dumped on and left instead of the recur-nng story of the women left behind with the children. These movies show the dif- ficulties people go through after a breakup but from the men's point of view. We are seeing weakness and emotion in men that people weren't as ready to admit existed ten years ago. All of a sudden there are macho women, such as Bo Derek exemplified in Ten. The movie was made to give the public a laugh but there was a definite lesson there, too-no matter how beautiful her exterior. Bo Derek was still a zero. With tense world situations, American society is looking for diversions to take its mind off the daily traumas. The film industry is providing those diversions. Nostalgia appears in movies like More American Graffiti and Animal House. These films look at the fun to be had in the good old days and bring back all those memories. Other movies, like Meatballs and The Jerk are giving us a look at the absurd, and inviting us to just sit back and laugh without demanding much mental activity or anguish. It seems the trend in movies lor the 1 W0s will be to increase people's awareness about life through more romance, more comedy and many more laughs. let’s go! m jQn POP POP POP MU ZIK E Kramer Kramer Vr« in Review Z79 Mellow sells, disco dies Deborah Harry, Elvis Costello, Candy-0, Bad Girls, Cheap Trick.

If it doesn't, don't worry, 1979 wasn't a prime year in which to be aware. It isn't that there wasn't any good music produced in 1979. There was. But not enough. Too many artists were content to rehash what they had been doing for years. Other groups branched out and experimented, often to the point of nonsense. The year was highlighted by several interesting trends. Disco, that much maligned form of dance music, dropped dramatically in sales compared to 1978. Billboard magazine reported that disco sales were down as much as 75 percent in some parts of the nation. Despite the decrease. artists such as the Village People. Donna Summer, and even old rock and rollers like Rod Stewart make a killing playing disco. The punk-power pop-new wave movement finally got off the drawing board. Not satisfied to remain known only to a handful of critics and fans, the best of these groups went out and make hits in 79. Blondie became one of the world's most popular bands by combining rock, punk and disco. The Knack learned that suggestive lyrics can still sell a record ( Good girls don't whatf). Nick Lowe. Elvis Costello, The Police, and |oe Jackson also made a splash. The year was many newcomers make their mark on the musical scene, perhaps because people were looking for something new. Ricki Lee Jones added a salty tone to pop music, while Rupert Holmes sang about upper-middle class love and pina coladas with success. Dire Straits established itself as the best guitar band this side of Eric Clapton. But the older, more established groups remained the most popular. The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac and others dominated the charts as they have in other years. These artists' music was often similar; soft, melodic, aiming for teenage hearts. The formula, while boring, was repeated throughout the year. Even the hard rock group Led Zep-plin played mellow ballads in 79. Unfortunately, all those millions of records cost the consumer much more in 79. Record list prices jumped from S7.9H to $8.98 or sometimes $9.98. The price of concert tickets also rose. Six dollar tickets became a memory replaced by eight and nine dollar stubs. 1979 was not a vintage year for music. But if you believe music moves in cycles, and the first few years of a decade are a peak, then the 1980s look promising. 280 Year in Rnw� Police crack down on student parties On any Friday night, the majority of UW-Eau Claire students can be found out partying, both in the bars and in pro-vale homes. But. in the last year, many house parties have been broken up by police because of noise complaints and arrests for disorderly conduc t and selling alcohol without a license. There has definitely been a crackdown and it will probably continue, District Attorney Rodney Zemke said. A k t of parties have gotten out of hand. Zemke said the number of arrests is greater in the spring and fall when either neighbors complain or police suspect beer is being sold illegally. People cannot require payment for beer, even if it's a cup or donation ' he said. Undercover police often attempt to enter a party where people are charging for beer or liquor. Students have complained the use of undercover police is extreme, but Zemke said it is justified because it gives it a stronger case. I have no problem with having undercover police come in. I see no reason to let this (selling beer) go on. And while students may not be singled out by the police, police do realize the college crowd is most likely to organize activities where akohol is sold. They (the police) are trying to crack down on the commercialism of it. said Erwin Steiner, associate professor of business administration. I'm sure they're not up in the third ward checking on people who are having cocktail parties. And while Eau Claire Police Chief lames McFarlane said he hasn't noticed an increase in the number of arrests for disorderly conduct or beer-selling violations, Steiner said he has heard of substantially more cases in the last year. I've been here for a long time and went to school here lor a number of years, and I've never seen anything like this last fall. Most arrests result from disorderly conduct charges, which include noise disturbances, rather than selling alcohol, said McFarlane. Students have complained the police have been breaking up parties on their own initiative. But McFarlane said, 99 percent of arrests are generated by complaints, usually due to amplifiers and other noise disturbances. I think it's unrealistic to put 500 people in a one-family house. A large crowd invariably causes problems for police, he said. Under these circumstances, it doesn't take much to generate a charge of disorderly conduct, said Scott Nicastro, a lawyer hired by the university to give free legal advice to students. To solve some of the problems a party can generate, many people have asked neighbors to call the party instead of the police if they think the party is getting too loud. While disorderly conduct charges can possibly be prevented, Steiner said it is difficult to avoid illegal sale of alcohol charges. Some people, in an attempt to avoid directly selling beer, sell cups. But there are problems with that. You better be prepared that when a person comes in with their own glass to give them fret? beer, Steiner said. Think beyond the form and into the substance, he advises. The answer K to have a lot of hors d'oevres and snacks when people come in, Steiner said. But that may be a violation of the delicatessen law. Year m Rrvu 281 Papal visit brings unity, controversy over messages The United States has always been a nation of heroes: victorious soldiers returning from war; athletes recognized for accomplishments and sportsmanship; astronauts responsible for giant leaps for mankind ; and presidents honored for the way they lead the country. In the 1970s. however, there seemed to be a shortage of heroes. The Vietnam War ended in tragedy; money took precedence over achievement and fair-play in the minds of sports personalities; the space program suffered from disinterest and funding cut-backs; and the presidency and government in general was shaken by crisis after crisis. The hero-drought came to an end, however, late the decade. In 1978, the Roman Catholic Church's College of Cardinals. meeting for the second time that year, selected Karol Woj-tyla to lead the church. A year later, that leader-Pope John Paul-led what Time magazine called a triumphant seven-day journey of joy through the U.S. Wherever he appeari d. thousands of Americans assembled to get a glimpse of the 59-year-old pontiff and cheer their support. In Boston, they stood in the pouring rain; in New York's Madison Square Carden, 19,000 young people saw John Paul receive a pair of blue jeans, a T-shirt and a guitar. Philadelphia listeners heard him condemn sexual laxity and support celibacy for priests; the thousands gathered on a farm near Des Moines heard the Pope praise America's farmers. In Washington D.C., he visited the White House. In Chicago, I was in the crowd of one million who had come to Grant Park, on the shores of Lake Michigan, to see the Poland-native celebrate mass. Several other UW-Eau Claire students made the journey to this park where violent anti-war demonstrations had occurred in the 60s. That day-October 12-however, was not a day of division. In between chants of long live the pope, those of us assembled in the park heard the pope say, Our unity as Christians, as Catholics must always be a unity of love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Though John Paul ll's visit thrilled the nation, the 49 speeches, prayers and greeting he delivered often dealt with important issues facing Roman Catholics and U.S. citizens. The messages, though not producing instant criticism, may not have been accepted with the same enthusiasm with which the people accepted his personality and leadership. Faced with problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibilities; escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical altitudes, John Paul II told a youthful audience. Dear young people, he continued, do not be afraid of honest effort and honest work... With Christ's help and through prayer, you can answer His call, resisting temptation and fads and every form of mass manipulation. In regard to sexuality, the pope said. In today's society, we see so many disturbing tendancies and so much laxity regarding the Christian view on sexuality that have all one thing in common: recourse to the concept of freedom to justify any behavior that is no longer consonant with the true moral order and teaching of the church. The pope had a message for America: It will always remain one of the glorious achievements of this nation that, when people looked toward America, they received together with freedom also a chance for their advancement. This tradition must be honored today. The freedom that was gained must be ratified each day by the firm rejection of whatever wounds, weakens or dishonors human life ... It is then my wish that your sense of freedom may always go hand in hand with a profound sense of truth and honesty about yourselves and about the realities of your society. Newsweek observed. Rarely had anyone-visitor or native-commanded the American crowds in such numbers, or moved them so visibly to exhilaration, solemnity and love. Time gave him the overused designation-Superstar. Both may be fitting, but, more significantly Pope John Paul II may well have become a hero for the 1980s. 212 Year in Review Nuclear accidents bring threat to EC; Tyrone dropped Six yean ago, nuclear energy seemed to be the dream of the future. If would be cheap. Quiet reactors powered by an inexhaustible supply of fuel, free from control bv foreign powers, would provide clean power for American homes and industry. One thousand nuclear plants were expected to be in operation in the United States by the year 2000. As it has turned out, however, America's dream power source was just that-a dream. The April 1979 accident at Pennsylvania’s Three-Mile Island nuclear power station added fuel to the fiery accusations of those who questioned the safety of nuclear energy. Many Americans, who had formerly been undecided as to nuclear power's role in the nation's future. quickly joined California Governor Edmund G. Brown, actress lane Fonda and others in shouting No Nukes and Hell No, We Won’t Glow. The Three-Mile Island accident— which came frightfully close, some say, to reaching a China syndrome mel-tdown-practically extinguished the nuclear power flame. Energy Secretary lames Schlesinger, an atomic power defender, admitted to Newsweek that the nuclear power option is barely alive. During the summer, nuclear protests became a common affair in some parts of the country. In May, 75,000 demonstrators gathered in Washington. Those gathered for the Nuke-in heard messages from Ralph Nader. Tom Haydn, Fonda and Brown as they preached the terrors of nuclear power. Activist Dick The first degree murder and sexual assault case against a 24-year-old Milwaukee man ended with a guilty verdict in late January in Eau Claire County Circuit Court. lames Stawicki was found guilty of murdering and sexually assaulting loanne Esser, 22. of Racine, on May 26, 1979. Esser's body was found May 30 along a logging road near Antigo. She had suffered multiple stab wounds and a slashed throat. The trial was held in Eau Claire because of pre-trial publicity in the Langlade County area. The case attracted statewide attention after it was learned that Stawicki was out on a $900 bond on charges of first degree sexual assault when the Esser murder occured. Stawicki was also on probation for armed robbery. The Stawicki incident spurred the in- Gregory, whom Newsweek called the most arrested demonstrator in our land, said he would not eat solid food until all United States nuclear plants stopped operating. I’d rather see... the jails full up than to see the graveyards full, Gregory said, as he stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. I'd rather see brownouts and blackouts than people-outs. As the race for the 1980 Democratic presidential bid began, candidate Brown told the marchers. If you are not building for the future, you are stealing from it. Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, another candidate, sent a message of support to the marchers. The demonstration's leaders got to meet with President Carter, who told them. Be fair with me. Carter shunned their suggestion of closing all nuclear power plants. Meanwhile. Dr. Edward Teller, in- troduction of legislation to initiate a review of Wisconsin's bail system. According to a statement Stawicki gave Milwaukee police detectives after his capture, which was introduced as testimony, Stawicki said he hit Esser's car on Highway 45 outside Antigo and she wanted to call the police. She mentioned police, that's when I got paranoid and that's when I jumped her. Stawicki told George Riechert. a Milwaukee police detective, who reported on Stawicki's confession at the trial. In the May 31 confession, Riechert said Stawicki told him that he pulled a knife and forced Esser into his vehicle. Then he drove down a seldom used road where he told Esser to remove her clothes and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him, according to Rie-chert’s report on Stawicki's confession. strumental in production of the hydrogen bomb, told the House Science and Technology Committee that Nuclear reactors are not safe, but they are incomparably safer than anything else we might have to produce electricity. In west-central Wisconsin, the entry of nuclear-generated power was dealt a serious blow when the state's Public Service Commission denied Northern States Power Company's request to construct a nuclear power plant at Tyrone, in Dunn County. NSP originally planned to appeal case. NSP spokesman Pat Culbert said, The decision to cancel plans for the Tyrone plant was made on the basis of the prospect of timely licensing of the project, not on the merits of nuclear power. Ted Miner, president of the Badger Safe Energy Alliance, which opposed a nuclear plant at Tyrone, said he was very happy with the outcome. Miner said although he opposed the Tryone proposal, he was not totally opposed to nuclear energy. Despite protest, plants continued to operate. In the fall, the fear that had spread throughout the Harrisburg. Penn, area came to western Wisconsin. On Oct. 2, radioactive steam leaked from a broken tube at the Prairie Island nuclear power plan near Red Wing, Minn. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission quickly ruled out any danger as a result of the incident, but the Prairie Island mishap had brought a possibly nationwide problem-there are 72 nuclear power plants spread throughout the country-closer to home. reform movement Riechert said Stawicki then told Esser to leave the vehicle and as she was walking. Stawicki walked up behind her and started hitting her in the back with a knife. In testimony, Howard Sobczyk, another Milwaukee police detective, said Stawicki told him that after sexually assaulting Esser, he put the knife from the left part of her neck and pulled it across the neck and he said all he remembers is a gush. Despite the testimony of three psychiatrists who said Stawicki was mentally unbalanced, the 12-member jury found Stawicki sane, after reaching the guilty verdict. A first-degree murder conviction in Wisconsin carries a mandatory life sentence. Stawicki was sentenced in Milwaukee to a life term plus 20 years.

Tenure became an issue as seven tenured faculty members and a tenured non-teaching faculty member were notified they would be laid off after the 1973-74 school year. Projected enrollment decreases, productivity losses and budget reductions by the System administration were cited as the reasons.

Selfism?! —opening statement 1970 Periscope Kiss Ethyl Good-Bye 4 OH Decade in loin 1970s marked with changes,questions A decade of change, a mixture of radicalism and conservatism, of activism and passivism, of questions answered and unanswered. The seventies were a time to settle back and survey the causes and questions of the sixties. The war in Vietnam was the biggest political issue of the early seventies. Despite the promises that peace is at hand, the war continued. Antiwar protests and open talk of draft evasion colored the national landscape, including UW-Eau Claire. History Professor Howard Lut taught a counterclass, The Role of the Conscientious Objector. The Student Senate voted to oppose the establishment of an ROTC unit at UWEC. Community and campus members marc he'd through the city carrying candles and a casket draped in black to represent those killed in the war. Draft counseling was set up in Towers. The Spectator ran a column explaining how to avoid the draft. University and community members gathered on campus for teach-ins. informal group discussions and lessons. The demonstration at Kent State on May 4, 1970, that resulted in the deaths of four students brought UWEC into the antiwar movement more actively than before. More than 3,000 faculty members and students took part in rallies and a week-long boycott of classes. 2,000 students and faculty members marched through Eau Claire to protest both Kent State and the war. Four crab apple trees and a plaque behind Davies Center were dedicated to the memory of those who died at Kent State. A traditionally conservative campus got involved in the antiwar movement in a traditionally conservative way, said Bar- bara Luebke, a journalism instructor who was a student at UWEC in 1970. The August. 1971 bombing of Sterling Hall in Madison resulted in the death of a researcher and seemed to bring an end to antiwar protests in the state. But nothing could bring an end to the antiwar feelings. Not even the end of the war. The Vietnam veteran became an outcast in the society to which he returned. He was shunned for having taken part in what was by then considered an immoral war, while his draft-evader counterpart was given the chance to come back to the United States honorably. By early 1980 the Vietnam vet was only beginning to fit back into U.S. society. Along with antiwar protest and marches, students of the early seventies were more involved in the traditional political process. In October 1970, 20 percent of the student body participated in Student Senate elections, while only 6.27 percent voted in the February 1980 Senate elections. This is despite the fact that after March 1972,18-year-olds were able to vote even in civic elections. This so-called student apathy mirrored the mood of the rest of the country. People had begun to see a discrepancy between what govemnvent was saying and what it was doing ... a credibility gap. It began with Vietnam and reached its climax with Watergate. The near-impeachment of President Richard Nixon had a sobering effect on the citizens of the United States. Apathy seemed to set in and people began to distrust everyone, especially professional politicians. They elected a Georgia peanut D««dr in llrviot W farmer, Jimmy Carter, as president, thinking he would be uncorrupted by Washington politics. Shortly after coming into office, his budget director, Bert Lance, was indicted for fraud and resigned. His aide, Hamilton Jordan, has been investigated for allegedly using cocaine. Trust in those running government has not been reestablished, and, if current trends continue, it may not be reestablished for many years. The biggest educational event of the seventies in Wisconsin was the merger of the Wisconsin State University and the University of Wisconsin systems. This was begun in fall 1971 and completed in the summer of 1973. The merger changed the Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire to the University of Wis-consin-Eau Claire. It also created the third largest university system in the United States. The idea of a university as a foster parent for its students, in loco parentis, officially ended when the age of majority was changed to 18. In the fall of 1971, women were no longer required to sign in and out of the dorms, and the mandatory curfew was lifted. In 1972. Katherine Thomas Hall became the first co-ed dorm at UWEC, and all dorms were given the option to increase their visitation hours to a maximum of 17 hours a day. Students were given increased responsibility for their lives and for the places they lived. But they did not always handle this responsibility well. Alcohol and drug abuse have increased since then. One of the most flagrant abuses of alcohol took place annually during Tornado Watch, a spring beer party sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon. The party got totally out of control,” said Wallace O'Neill, director of Safety and Security, and resulted in its discontinuation in 1975. Parties are still important parts of university life, as are the organizations to which students belong. There are now 108 recognized organizations on campus, 52 more than in 1970. University enrollment has increased from 7,846 to 10,629. Tuition has increased from $195 to $415 per semester. There has been a JO percent increase in faculty and academic staff. Eight majors have been added: comparative studies in religion, chemistry-business, computer science, criminal justice, public administration, social work, social studies and theater. The general studies program replaced the general education program in 1972. Later, faculty and administration dissatisfaction with the program led to its replacement, once again with a general education program. Physical changes in the university include additions to the William D. McIntyre Library and to Davies Center and the construction of the footbridge, the Fine Arts Building and the Maintenance and Central Stores building. As the appearance of the university changed, so did that of the students. The tom blue jeans, hot pants, miniskirts, long hair and beads of the early seventies gradually gave way to a more conservative, tailored look—short hair, long skirls, sweaters, dress slacks and blazers. In the early seventies, rock and roll was the order, with acid rock quickly following. But by the end of the decade, disco had taken over, with its orderly, every-step-goes-just-so sound and appearance. New-wave music was beginning to appear at the beginning of 1980, and rock was being revived. The Beatles came back in Beatlcmama. Broadway musicals like Crease and West Side Story were revived. 290 Drcjdr in Rrvirw There was a change in the educational paths students followed. In the early seventies, the liberal arts programs were most popular. Later, the business core became the most sought after. Students seemed to be more concerned about whether their education would result in a good job after graduation; they seemed more concerned with materialism. Yet the spiritual aspect of life survived in many ways. Some found spiritualism in the cults of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Hare Krishna. Others followed the more traditional Far Eastern religions. Some became born-again Christians. And many returned to the faiths in which they had been brought up. Changes forward and changes back have characterized the seventies. The anti-draft movement, so strong in the early seventies, was brought back to Eau Claire in the spring of 1980, when President Carter called for draft registration in the wake of Afghanistan and Iran. Rallies, assemblies and programs against the draft were seen once again. The Eau Claire Peace Coalition was formed to oppose the draft. But the movement died out as the proposal made its way through Congress and as students faced the more immediate problems of final exams and summer jobs. The beginning of the decade saw people searching desperately for answers to the questions brought up in the sixties. They did this loudly, but as the decade wore on, they began to look inside for the answers. The search was still on, but more quietly this time. By the end of the seventies, there still were no answers, and we enter the eighties with the same questions still haunting us. The arms race, the decaying environment, the draft and war. Survival. Promises. Expectations. more, more we look around, notice the worlds we've found. On the outer fringes and inner beyond. more we forget; fear they'll be taken.

Hallbeck Group, also designed Hibbard Hall. Marshfield nursing sattelite Changes are starling to take place within the UW-System nursing education program. Plans for a UW-Eau Claire-sponsored nursing program in Marshfield will be presented to the state legislature this spring. John W. Morris. UW-Eau Claire academic vice chancellor, believes if the $70,000 project is passed quickly, the Marshfield classes could be started in the fall. St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield now offers a 3-year diploma program for nurses. The UW-Eau Claire satellite is aimed at licensed and registered nurses wishing to complete their bachelor of science-nursing degrees. The program will accommodate a large number of RNs who can't study full time because of job and marital commitments. This is just the beginning of changes in the Wisconsin system. The system ulti- mately plans to close i-year hospital schools and achieve uniformity in nursing education by sending all nursing students through a 4-year generic program. The Marshfield project is one part of long range future planning the university is taking to meet the changing nursing needs of the slate. A 3-year study on nursing and nursing education in the state was completed this year. Morris headed the committee that investigated the questions of present and future needs. The committee examined the distribution and availability of the nursing work force in Wisconsin. The 55-member committee submitted 14 recommendations which would alter the nursing program to correct the shortage and maldistribution of Wisconsin's nurses. W Thin to Come Health complex, Schofield mall Schofield mall You gel up IS minutes earlier in the morning to tind a parking place. And as you come down the street toward the lot you see your advance planning has paid off. There is an unusually large number of empty spaces. After flipping on your turn signal and starting your turn, you see it was too good to be true. The lot has been temporarily closed, according to the sign. This situation took place for many people on the UW-Eau Claire campus during November. The UW-Eau Claire Administrative Service as well as the Safety and Security Department experimented with the possibility of converting the Schofield Hall parking lot into a pedestrian mall by temporarily closing the lot. The lot. with 37 parking spaces, is east of Schofield Hall. The purpose of the ex- periment was to see what types of problems surface if the lot is closed, according to lames Bollinger, assistant chancellor for administrative services. The intent of the mall is to make the central area of the campus pedestrian-oriented, Bollinger said. If the lot is closed and converted into the mall, there will be parking facilities for handicapped people, delivery services and late office workers. However, Bollinger said, parking for that area cannot be eliminated. There has to be an alternative to the 37 parking spaces. The tentative date of starting the project is summer 1981. I think it (the mall), will improve the campus not only aesthetically but also in a practical sense, Bollinger said. things to Come MS indc index 29b Indc Indr 297 Biology Communicative Disorder Economics Front: Elizabeth Rowe Godum, Sandra Lebeis, Margaret McMillen Back: Clayton Wilcox, Nancy Boyce, Vicke lord-l arson, Sylvia Steiner, Theodore Peters, Peter Mueller.

Jeff Anderson; Susan Arnett; Merritt Christensen, our advisor; Jim Fisher cartoonist Greg Kot; the journalism faculty; Mark; lean and all those who kept us going and who believed in us when we didn’t think we'd make it. We did, finally. Special thanks to those groups whose pictures were lost and whose identifications did not get in. for one reason or another. Thank you all. We'd also like to thank all those who waited patiently for their Periscopes through all the delays. Prmcopr JOT
