The original box for the photograph was built by Mr. Quist of Stockholm, Maine, and furnished with assorted paraphenalis by Mark Billington, Patrick Chasse, the University of Maine and others. A 4x5 Ektachrome trans parency was taken of the completed box and by a 4 color Litho process was transferred to the cover.

The attractions are no more noisy dorms, no more student regulations, no more tiny 8x10 cubicle wall to climb and no more cafeteria food. At the University of Maine there are about 1,500 of these independent off campus students. Most live in the Bangor, Orono, Old Town area but there are some living in remote areas such as Greenbush, Bradley and Milo. Because off campus students are off campus students by choice, most of them are pleased with their life style. It provides for a more natural way of life, remarked one off campus student. Reasons people give for moving off campus are better food, I get to pick my own roorn- ate, and I can keep my cat with me. Animals are a big part of off campus life. Many people own dogs, cats, fish and an occasional hamster. 35 People who enjoy cooking find doing their own to be a major plus of off campus life. There is ample opportunity to cook everything from exotic gourmet dishes to the humble hot dog. Some off campus stu- dents do not like the taste of their own cooking, at least not all the time. These people frequent down- town Orono restaurants like Pat's and the Salty Dog. Off campus life is not all roses however. One of the big problems of off campus life is transporta- tion. Almost everyone finds a car to be a necessity. For those who don't have one or can not afford one, getting around can be a problem. I don't mind it so much in the spring and fall, but it really gets mis- erable in the winter, said one unfortunate pedestrian. On very cold mornings the students with cars are not much better off than those without. The cold keeps the car from starting and the icicles drip from the thumbs of dedicated students hitching to school. Less dedicated students shrug and decide it was 37 time for vacation anyway. Doing the laundry is a bothersome chore for off campus people, but it has to be done. Most people take their dirty clothes to the dorm they used to live in or they go to one of the laundromats in the area. Babies and small children are the unique part of off campus life that can not be duplicated in the dorm system or in the fraternities. The only problem I have with my baby is leaving her behind when I go to class, said one college mother. I usually leave her in a day care center and come to pick her up af- ter classes. Taking into account the good and the bad, off campus students feel they are ahead of the dorm stu- dents by far. They have lived outside the protective womb of the dorm system. They have faced the real world of bills and deadlines. 39 40 A Quiet Night At Home Reading The Newspaper Or Playing Cribbage Is Always In Order 41 Autumn 44 9P ssn The Shore Dinner All around campus parents could be seen with their sons and daughters getting the grand tour of UMO-the library, the gym, the Memo- rial Union, Little Hall, and even the sixth level of the stacks where they could be seen leisurely thumbing through volumes from the Library of Congress. In expectation of parent's weekend, beds were made, rooms were cleaned, ashtrays were carefully emptied, and all sorts of sun- dries were cleverly tucked away, only to be brought out after the parents had left. All the textbooks were gathered from underneath the furniture and placed on a comer of the desk where parents would be sure to notice them. And students, especially freshmen, wash- ed their hair, brushed their teeth, put on re- spectable clothes, and removed the pin-up of Miss October or the fold-out of Burt Reynolds from the wall of their room. Everyone was on his best behavior, with language carefully guarded lest he slip and utter the phrases now commonplace in college life. Then, before you students knew it, your father shook your hand, your mother gave you a kiss on the cheek and they both got in the car, leaving you all duded up, feeling kind of dumb, just standing there waving goodbye. 47 Department. I was active in sports, the SAE fraternity and the university band. After graduation I taught for 32 years and coached football for 20. If I spent any time walking around on campus today I would surely get lost The improvement in the school I notice the most is the addition of girls. When I was here we didn't see many girls on campus never mind living in the same dorms with the men. Also, after all these years I can still re- member all the words to the Stein Song. 50 ROD ELLIOT 1938 My major was economics and I come from Blue Hill, Maine. I take great pride in being Maine's first All-American football player. I was a brother of Delta Tau Delta. My crowd used to attend the large formal dances and dinners for kicks. Looking at the university today I really notice the increase in the size of the campus. One thing that will always remain the same though, is the warmth and friendliness of the students. This is one of the big reasons five of my children have graduated from the University of Maine. 51 ■ ■ KATHY HILLMAN, 1972 ■ ■ Me? I'm a Presque Isle native and my major was nutrition. The big J night out was usually Thursday night when I was a student here. The 10:30 curfew used to put quite a crimp in the fun for the girls. Our issues were the Vietnam War and Kent State. That has really changed. College students don't seem to care about things like that any more. If I had college to do over again I probably wouldn't go to Maine. I would probably go out of state. 52 [ARRY BEEMER, 1%6 I'm a Gardiner native and I graduated from this university with a BS in biology in 1966. My favorite hangout was the Anchorage. I spent a lot of weekend nights there drinking a little and looking for a little sex on the side. In the 60's the big issue on campus was the expansion of student's rights. By the way, I was the first guy to fall forty feet off Phi Eta's roof. Every since then I've said I would fall fifty feet for UMO. 53 The Fair 54 55 Lending its annual carnival atmosphere to the mall, this years Organizational Fair fell on an overcast Saturday during Parent's Weekend. Clowns cavorted amidst sea of faces, young and old, grinning or solemnly sucking Tootsie-Pops. Colorful booths lined the perimeter, displaying the achievements and functions of various organizations on campus. The German Club was there, vending hot dogs and sauerkraut. MUAB's mobster was there also, to promote the Activities Board. The Horseman's Club's large steeds stood proudly in ornate harness before the library, the feathering on their legs wavering in the stiff October breeze. At the far end of the green the Woodsmen's team heaved axes in front of a wary audience. In the center of the mall folk musicians strummed and sang. Cider presses churned off to one side, operated by the Maine Agricultural Enginoors Association. The red apples rolled mer- rily down a chute to be squashed into sparkling cider. As the day wore on, competitions such as the pie-eating contests, the Sophomore Owls crazy caper and a water fight sponsored by the University Christian Fellowship took place.

During the season that qualified them for the College World Series the 1976 squad became the most successful in Maine history. Their overall record was 29 wins and 9 losses for a winning percentage of over .700. Pitching star Bert Ro- berge sot an individual record when he tlod with Joe Ferris for most career victories with his twenty-first win. Ferris was a member of Maine's other College World Series team i n 1964. . Maine finished second in the Yankee Conference behind Connecticut, thus qualifying for the ECAC playoffs. In those playoffs Maine defeated the same Connecticut team by a score of 2-1. The Black Bears went on to sweep Massachu- setts 4-3 and 4-1, qualifying for the NCAA playoffs. At the NCAA playoffs Maine swept through the top col- lege baseball teams in the east. They defeated Penn State 11-4, Temple 6-3, and Seton Hall 3-1 and 4-2. Maine suffered their first setback when they were defeat- ed 3-2 by Eastern Michigan University in their first game in the double elimination College World Series. Maine had the bases loaded In the last inning but was unable to drlvo the runs across. On the evening of June 16 the Bears matched up with Arizona State, the top ranked team in the College World Series. Arizona was 62-8 with a.886 winning percentage and they turned out to be more than even the Black Bears could handle. The most powerful Maine team in recent years went down 7-0, finishing fourth in the College World Series and in the nation, behind Eastern Michigan University, Arizona State and Arizona.

Abbott: 1 will never put one of my players against another. Somewhere down the line, I would be doing' an injustice to a worthy individual. Also, I fell an all star team destroys the unity and uniqueness of each Maine team. Prism: What problems do you think Jack Bicknell wi have to face In his first years as hoad coach at UMQ For that matter, what probloms did you have wh began coaching here? ____ Abbott: My beginning was a disasterous one. I had a very inexperienced squad playing top notch schools like B.C. and the Citadel. As for Mr. Bicknell, he'sal fine man and coach. He was winning athletes and one of the best schedules that Maine has ever had. I feel he has been left with a very sound football program and I have confidence in him. Prism; Could you give your definite reasons for decid- ing to resign as football coach? Abbott: I felt that it was time that I leave the post and spend more time with my family. I have two sons (13 and 12 years) and a little girl { 2 1 2 years old). I have neglected them up until now. They're very im-] portant to me. On the football end, I felt that a new chief was needed. I've been shouting for some change and I think that a new voice can make demands for the good of our program. I thought my decision to leave football will eventually help the system to grow under a new leader. 71 I '- Jack Bicknell was chosen as Maine’s new hoad football coach following Walter Abbot's sudden re- tirement. Bicknell was Boston College's offensive coach for the past eight years. During his time at B.C. he coached future pros Gary Marangi, Fred Willis and Mike Esposito. His previous experience includes coaching a high school team in New Jer- sey. Bicknell was himself a promising quarterback at Rutgers until a neck injury ended his career in 1956. He transferred to Montclair State from which he graduated in 1960. Prism: What advantages and problems do you see for the 1976-77 season? Coach Bicknell: The advantage is that Maine is a state university with pride and a tradition of com- petitive football. I have a fine quarterback in Jack Cosgrove and one of the finest linebackers in New England in Scott Shullman If he's healthy. I will have problems with the offensive and defensive lines, but I think they will smooth themselves out. As to disadvantages I am determined to make good use of the budget I am equipped with. My other stumbling blocks are that my new staff will have little time to aquaint themselves with the program and our late start in recruitment. Prism: What type of coach are you? Coach Bicknell: I onjoy the game of football very much and I like tho challenge of the numbers on the team. I want my players to enjoy football, but I will work them hard. I can be a tough discipli- narian, but I dislike the role unless it is absolutely necessary. I like to establish a relaxed atmosphere without the useless tension. Prism: What do you think you can accomplish In the 1976-77 season? I don't know the league very well. In fact, I haven't seen Maine play In throe years. I do feel there Isn't a game on our schedule we couldn't pos- sibly win. I want Maine to continue its tradition of being a never quit team. We have an eleven game schedule with no empty Saturdays so we will be busy and successful. I hope. Prism: What would you say really motivates you to hit people during a game? Gary Dow: It isn't a question of being motivated. I have a job to do and I try to do it as best I can. That job is not to maim or hurt anyone unnecessarily. It is to play good, solid defense. Prism: Do you feel there is a savage instinct in all of us that the contact in football brings out? Gary Dow: A savage instinct? No. I do feel that everyone has the desire from time to time to release frustrations vio- lently whether it's hitting a person or breaking a chair. But it's important to be able to control that desire. Those peo- ple who can turn it on and off are, for the most part, foot- ball players. Prism: What was your happiest moment in four years of col- lege football? Gary Dow: There are two that stand out. One was playing against Delaware, one of the nationally ranked teams. The Prism: Do you think offensive linemen are overlooked and not considered true football talents by the public? Gerry Tautkus: Honestly, I do! The most publicity goes to backs and people who carry the ball, but these players are de- pendent upon the offensive line line. To the public, the battle of the line looks like a tan- gled mess, but it is vital to the success of an offense. Prism: How do your fellow players and coaching staff seo the offensive line? Gerry Tautkus: I like the way Maine football has treated the role of the offensive line. The coaches are directly involved so the biggest compliments I get come from them. When you're praised by a coach or player you know it's genuine because they will tell you exactly what they think. Above all, you must strive to please yourself. If that can be achieved, you've done well. Prism: How do you react to the possibility of injury? Mark DiGregorio: The way I handle injury is to try to completely forget about it. If you start worrying about how fast you're running or looking around for pursuers. . . well, you'll probably be the one who will suffer the injuries. In general I try to block it from my mind. Prism: It is said that some opposing teams key on you as a running back. How do you cope with this? Mark DiGregorio: The only was to cope with it is to work that much harder. If the defense is keying on me, someone else is open. If I lay down some good blocks or do anything else to aid the Maine cause I am satisfied with my performance. Prism: How do you view your position as team leader? Fred Royer: Being a captain in college is much different from being one in high school. Here, everyone is ready to play and we all encourage each other to do a good job. My position is to make sure moral, is high and to make the squad work as a unit. Prism: Does Maine have any special qualities that would describe the team as a whole? Fred Royer: Maine isn't great on physical size, but we make up for it with total team effort. This is quality which has established us in the Yankee Conference and I am confident the tradition will continue. Prism: What was the happiest moment in your college football career? Fred Royer: I've had many good memories during my football career. The first game I started for Maine was really a big thrill. It made me feel like an active part of the Maine Bears. I think that will always be my fond- est memory of my football days. Prism: What was you reaction to becoming starting quarter- back in the middle of the season? Butch Emerson: It all happened so fast I had little time to think over the situation. I was put in- to the fourth quarter of the U Mass game, so I guess I didn't think much about my being the number one quarterback. Prism: What is your concept of the quarterback's role? Butch Emerson: I don't think the quarterback is any more important than any other player. The offensive team is a unit and depends on all oPits members. The quarterback can be looked to for leadership, but that doesn't make him any more significant. I believe Maine football is run this way and if we win it is because everyone did his job well. Prism: Were you given as much freedom on the field as Jack Cosgrove1 Butch Emerson: Jack had had a year of varsity exper- ience and I hadn't, so the coaches decided to send the plays in from the bench. The coaches have been supply- ing Use ideas and I look forward to having them guide me on the field. t s' t '9 Prism: What type of season did your team have?Point out your reasons for success or lack of it. Coach Stoyell: By scanning our season summary, it's easy to see that we had an up and down season. Some games, Vermont being the best example, we would play together so well! On other occasions, we would stum- ble at both ends of the field. Our main weakness was lack of experience. Whether we won or lost, the cause of the end result was either our freshness or immaturity of the team. Prism: Do you expect a better season than the '75 sea- son? What factors might make your future brighter? Coach Stoyell: Yes, I firmly feel we'll improve. With a year of college soccer, our undergraduates will be much better suited to playing well. I'm hopeful for a good crop of new players in '76. We already have a High School All American, Jay Buloy, who will fit in well at midfield. Prism: Can you see many of your freshmen players fil- ling roles on Varsity next year? Coach Stoyell: Yes, I can see at least two freshmen stepping in next season if they continue to progress at their present rate. Prism: Are you pleased with the soccer program at UMO? Satisfied with publicity? Facilities? Schedule? Coach Stoyell: I'm pleased for the most part. We have an excellent field and ample locker room space. As for publicity, I do most of that personally. I have foird the local media to be very receptive. Attendance has been phcnominal--the best in the Yankee Conference. I'd like a better time spot than 10 a.m. I hope to have some games played Saturday afternoon when the foot- ball team is away. I 88 Prism: Are you satisfied with the recognition sh your championship team? . «J Coach Walch; The attention given our team by tf media was much better than prcvi the national tournament the Bangor vision stations interviewed me. I more publicity by continuing t separation between the men's isolatos both of us from recognition by the Prism: Is field hockey given the same equipment and facilitios as other sports at Maine. Coach Walch: We are making use Of the facilltie we have. The grounds crew works very hard on th field, but the student population is abusing it. Peopl£ on campus have broken our equipment on numerous occasions and they continue to tread over our play- ing field during the season. I don't wish to be antag- onistic to the students, but I hope they will respect our facility in the future. Prism: What more can field hockey accomplish imi ’ the coming years? Coach Walch: One of my primary goals is to sc ule out of state teams during the regular season. Unfortunately, this is presently impossible due to financial status. My team goal is to keep up our present skill level. I'd like to express my pride in the team's performance this past season. They'cv r came terrible conditions of weather, time ' long schedule. They opened a lot of people' and I feel they will continue to do the same future. Prism: Who were your three finest runners on the team this past season? Coach Ballinger: Gerry Laflamme was definitely our most gifted runner, but injuries hampered him considerably. Senior Colin Campbell improved tre- mendously during his career at UMaine. Junior Daryl Seekins also progressed a great amount during the 75 season. Ho will captain the 76 squad. Prism: In such a small team sport, is there any collectivo unity among the players on the team? If so, how is this manifested? Coach Ballinger: I have witnessed more unity on this team than most varsity sports. They all train to- gether and this usually makes for a very close knit squad. This bond comes out of their workouts and dependency on each other for Maine to succeed as a team. Prism: Do you also form some kind of team strategy? Coach Ballinger: Each runner has his own formula to get into shape and to succeed. I do assign volume distance running to all, but as meets draw close, some do distance work while others concentrate on speed. As for team strategy, they ran as a team In a pack in the early part of the season, but when the invitational meets were held, I lot each individual do his own pace. In those races, I allow the runners to try to succeed on their own. Prism: Are you pleased with this season? How about noxt year for the gymnasts? Coach Walch: I'm very happy with the 75-76 squad. They were a respectable third in the Tri-State Championship behind Vermont and Keene State. Our seasonal record was 16-4 and we're odds on favorites to take the State Title. I'm proud of the ten girls who stayed throughout the long season (end of October to third week in April). With 90% of the team returning (60% freshmen), I can't help but bo optimistic. Prism: What do you account for your superiority over all other instate schools? ■ h r’ � Coach Walch: I have to give greatest impor- tance to the team's hard work and devotion to the sport. I only hope we can continue our control over Maine schools. Farmington is im- proving vastly. 91 The Varsity swim team captured the New England Cham- pionship on March 4-6 at Springfield, Mass. They defeated the host team by 2 points (398-396) and easily bested U Conn to grab the Yankee Conference Crown as well. Because of their individual performances, divers Roy Warren and Rolf Olson, and backstroker Jim Smoragiewicz qualified for the NCAA National Meet. Congratulations to swim coach Alan Switzer and diving instructor Rich Miller. Here are excerpts from a Prism interview with coach Switzer. Prism: Now that you have won the New Eng lands, what future goals are you setting for Maine swimmers? Coach Switzer: All I can say is I wish to continue to build and strengthen the program so that we are competative with Eas- tern teams. I would also like to qualify more individuals for the Nationals in the near future. Prism: Turning to individual efforts, who has surprised you the most with his swimming ability this season? Coach Switzer: After a season such as this one, it's hard to discover any disappointments we had on the team. The New England meet was a prime example of the tremendous team effort we had all season. When my team gets 398 points and wins by 2, it's very difficult to single out one individual. Jim Smoragiewicz and Roy Warren were outstand- ing performers throughout the season, but many other athletes rose to the occasion in the championships. Prism: Oo you plan on scheduling bigger, more well known schools now that the team has achieved such success? What meets do you especially look forward to next year? Coach Switzer: I would certainly like to improve our sched- ule so as to include top notch New England schools. If that means Ivy League meets, I'm all for it. Next year, our dual meet with Connecticut will be a test (they defeated UMO earlier in '76). We will face Springfield at their pool and they will be out for revenge too. We most likely will travel south to face two superior teams also (E. Carolina and John Hopkins). I'm very much in favor of a stricter, more com- petative schedule. Prism: How does the team size up for next year? Do you have any gaps to fill? If so, where? Coach Switzer: We will lose six seniors, who include Tom Clark, a medley man, and Tim Babcock, a fine distance swimmer. Our biggest gaps to fill are the 50 yard freestyle, 500 and 1000 freestyle and the butterfly. We will have to rely on incoming recuits to help us out. Prism: Why do you have such a long period of time for such a relatively short schedule? Coach Switzer: We had 10 meets last season; 12 is the maxi- mum number I would accept. Any other extra races would detract from our daily training schedule which I consider to be vital to success. Every year we are pointing to the end of the year tournaments. Additional meets would harm our con- ditioning that is aimed at that final goal. 92 93 Prism: Who were your best wrestlers? Coach Stoyell: Lucien Daigle was unquestionably our finest wrestler. He had an overall record of 12- 5 and led the team in scoring with fifty points. Freshman heavyweight Steve Rockhill improved greatly and captured fourth place in the New Eng- lands. Freshman Brian Mulligan in the 177 pound class was our most competitive team member. Prism: How will the team look after graduation? Do you plan to have a junior varsity program as well? Coach Stoyell: We lose two wrestlers, Daigle and Ward. We will miss Lucien Daigle, but we had seven freshmen last season who will be very important in our future sucess. There is no chance for a junior varsity program right now. The budget won't allow Prism: How has the attendance been at wrestling matches? Coach Stoyell: I thought attendance was very poor, but that is due to the fact that Maine is not a wrest- ling state. If our students didn't watch wrestling in high school they won't have any interest in it on a college level. Two factors which might arouse ad- ditional interest are upgrading our schedule and hold- ing night matches. Prism: What are you doing to upgrade your program? Coach Stoyell: We hope to make the wrestling room more professional. At the present, I am trying to get a special light system for the matches and doctor's scales to put in our lockers. Prism: Were you satisfied with your team's effort this season? Any individual surprise? Disappoint- ments? Coach Stryna: I feel we did well for what we were equipped with. The only disappointments we suffered were the numerous injuries to our athletes, particularly Gerry LaFlammc and Dan Cochran early in the season. Campbell and Scc- kins were superb in the two mile, while Hinkley and Lamml performed very well in the high jump. Dan Cochran broke the school record in the triple jump.L fl Prism: What is the level of high school recruit- ment in the track program? Can Maine compete with New England schools that have had a long history of scholarship funds? Coach Styrna: Of course, we have a very limited amount of funds with which to work. It's vory difficult competing for athlotos with nothing to offer them. Connecticut and Rhode Island have the best high school trackmen, and we lose a great many of them to their state schools. Prism: Do you feel track is given ample public- ity and attention by the students and by the media? How could it improve? Coach Styrna: Our publicity isn't very thorough. Most of the meets aren't covered by anything, but the campus newspaper. The attendance at dual meets has always been excellent. We try to run an efficient meet. Good athletes will make a better team which will account for better pub- licity and promotion. It's a cycle, but it must start with the athletes themselves. They arc the question and the answer. Prism: How could you sum up your team's Coach Chappelle: I am very pleased with form an ce. 1 had reservations about our cole halfway through the season, but we started and er strongly which is a plus. Anytime our tOftm finish over 500 with our present aid progrAirTWe should t satisfied. I have excuses, but I feel thay are useU to point to. I still feel that this was one of the be years in Maine basketball history. ill next Prism: Wil year bring a better tea Coach Chappelle: I'm very optimistic, new people who will be ready to go ir lose Bob Warner, but the team shower perform well while Bob was injured last' shall do as well, if not better. Our sch year features eight new teams, so I hat- pared for some real surprises. Prism: Have you shifted recruitment England? Coach Chappelle: This is what we should' but it's a fantasy as far as our recruitment! goes. The cold, hard fact today is that we PTt get a blue chip ballplayer outside Maine without a' scholarship. We have done some recruiting in north em New England, but that avenue is being blocked off as well. 101 10 Prism: What do you think of the publicity given to women's athletics? Co-captain Dera Delfonso: It's really non- existent. Our program could improve vastly if we had somo typo of link between tho team and the media. Prism: What do you think of your coach? Dcra Delfonso: Ms. Fox is the best coach I have ever played for. She is knowledgeable about the game. Everyone on the team is behind her. Prism; What could be done to improve women's basketball at UMO? Dera Delfonso: I would like to see more enthisiasm from the students. The best way to promote interest would be to have a few of our games boforc the varsity game in- stead of before the Jayvee game. Prism: As your first year with women's athletics hero at UMO, what is your impression of their status? Coach Fox: Obviously we are still far behind the men's program. A few examples: We're only equipped with three | leather basketballs, and we don't have any corps of statis- ticians to keep up-to-date figures. Although It is present- ly at a low level, I can honestly see an improvement in the the system, so that, in the future, we might have a program comparable to the men. Fhrism: What type of team do you have this season? Have le I you had to make any adaptations in your coaching style because of your players? Coach Fox: Fortunately, the team I have can be molded perfectly to my way of coaching. I possess an excellent bench which is important because I stress constant team-. J defense. Because of their equal caliber, we have a dlf- ferent high scorer every game. I emphasize that all my players must play good defense and offense, but some are more talented at one than the other. Prism: Who would you say is the most instrumental player to the success of this year's team? Coach Fox: There is no possible way that I could single _ one player out from the rest. I could limit the list to eigh at the very least. As in any other sport today, the all- around basketball player Is few and far between. Each player on the squad has a particular talent. I have a dif- ferent team leader In every category: Rebounding, shoot- ing, defense and playmaking. sa The 1976 season was a spectacularly success- ful one for the Maine rifle team under first year Coach Bob Bernier. The team went 17-1 during the regular season, -capturing the Yankee Confer- ence championship. They also won the New Eng- land champtonshlp, placed eighth out of thirty at the West Point Invitational and set a New England record corc of 2239 during a match against Nor- wich Military Academy. F� ing for the New England championship at MIT the Maine team set an MIT range record of 222:flwhile taking their fourteenth New England ilp in the last eighteen years. Fresh- lm Tobin, sophomore Dave Wollman and lark Wallingford and George Putnam to the match's all star team, le team's eighth place finish at the Invitational was ahead of all West and all New England teams. It was higher any Maine team had ever finished. The Black Bear rifle team looks to repeat its 1976 triumph in 1977 as there were no seniors on the 1976 squad. - Prism: Why don't you hold your meetings indoors during the early part of spring? I Coach Styrna: Wc have done so In the past, but discontinued the policy. It was just impossible to hold the weight events on a 220 yd. indoor track. Whenever we held a match in- doors it was a totally different meet. Prism: Does your very short season hamper participation?.. _ Coach Styrna: To some extent. Some of our regular athletes don't run in the spring, but it isn't a drastic situation at affT I believe that the most dedicated, talented runners will work hard throughout both semesters at UMO. Prism: How was the 1975 Outdoor Track season? Coach Styrna: I was extremely satisfied. We were undefeated at dual meets (3-0) and we finished a respectable fifth in the Yankee Conference Meet. We had outstanding Individual performances with Gorry LaFlamme and Tim Cochrane lead- ing the way. Prism: Have you considered any possible improvements in the facilities, equipment, or schedule? Coach Styrna: There are many alterations to be made in the program, but at this time we can't afford them. I would love to some day build an all weather track at Maine. Our track is out moded by modern day standards but we have to make m 106 I ML1 'i-WT ji HMT T3BI V ■' 1 the best of things. Prism: Why hasn't Maine enjoyed more success in tennis? Coach Folger: I feel 1976 has been an exception to Maine's poor tennis history. For the first time in five years, UMO was the top tennis team in the state. Besides Bates, Colby and Bowdoin our squad defeated the Coast Guard. I'd say it was Maine's finest year In tennis for some time. Prism: Who are the powerhouses of Now England tennis? Coach Folger: Univ. of Vermont was the best outfit in the Yankee Conference. Ivy League schools. Harvard, Princeton and Yale arc very big in tennis. Prism: Who would you say are your finest individual stand- outs? Coach Folger: Tom Hallett, who was ranked high in the state, was our 1 player. Bill Hammer played � 5 for us, but won the most individual matches on the entire team. Prism: What are your future hopes in this sport at UMO. Coach Folger: My most immediate goal is to WIN! I want to get more people involved in the program and expand the schedule as well. All in all, we had a very fine season in the fall and spring. I look forward to seeing many jayvees (6-1 this past season) move up to varsity status. 107 Prism: What particular individuals would you credit for making '76 team an exceptional one? Coach Winkin: Tho outstanding performers thus far have been Tony DiBiase, hitting .400, John Dumont, a senior with an average of .350, and Bert Roberge who Is unquestionably one of the top pitc in the cast. I think it's also worthy to note that Brian Butterfield is considered one of the top rookie performers in New England. vJ ✓ Prism: What will be your big opponents? Crucial Games this season? The big opponents this season, obviously, have been the University of Connecticut and U. Mass. As you know we split our games against U. Conn, with Bert Roberge losing perhaps the best pitched game of his career, a one hitter against the number one ranked team in New England. Our two victories over U. Mass, certainly were high points of the regular season. ,hS The University of Maine, in my Judgement, has a fine basoball tradition which has been building up over the years through the efforts of my prcdiccssor Jack Butterfield. In recent years we have had the ability to develop an attractive schedule which includes a fall base- ball program, a southern trip to the Miami area and a regular season which competes against all the Division One institutions in the ESB P wz Prism: How have you built up such a succesful program with scholarship aid to offer athletes? h so mi 108 1U9 in 112 113 Remember the first day you went to a big lecture? Mass education is the motto at UMO. Who hasn't had a class in 100 Nutting, Hauck Auditorium, 120 Little, 360 Aubert or 137 Bennett? Remember the first day you went to a big lecture? There were so many seats you hardly knew where to sit. There were advantages to the big lecture halls though. If the lecture was boring, you could amuse yourself by looking over the crowd. Out of over 100 faces you were bound to find someone inter- esting. Or if you were sleepy and didn't mind sleeping all cramped up in a hard chair you just had to sit in the back and close your eyes. You did not have to worry about 116 being caught because most profes- sors could not see that far anyway. But seriously, there are disad- vantages to a large lecture. Most lectures are geared to the average student, but in a class of over 100 there are above average students that get bored and below average students who get completely lost. Often questions arise in the stu- dent's mind that are never answered because some students are afraid to ask questions in front of a large lecture hall full of people. Large lectures allow maximum student en- rollment with a minimum of faculty and a minimum of educational quality. Most lectures are geared to the average student. 11? Academics: students here define it as boredom. What arc academics? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dic- tionary, academic means of, relat- ing to, or associated with an aca- demy or school, especially of high- er learning. Of or related to perfor- mance in academic courses. Very learned but inexperienced in practi- cal matters. Based on formal study, especially at an institution of high- er learning. The definition goes on to say academics are theoretical without having any immediate or practical bearing. UMO's definition of academics seems a bit different than Webster's. Students here de- fine it as boredom. UMO is comprised of a host of bored students. Everyone has seen students sleeping in class, in the library and against any tree in sight during the warm weather. Everyone 118 has seen the stifled yawns, yawns not so stifled and expressions on people's faces that simply scream boredom. Are these students the thinkers of Webster's definition? Is the boredom merely a mask as they develop complicated theories and hypotheses? Despite appearances, not every- one is bored at UMO. The students who direct the band or the chorus during a concert do not have time to be bored. Student teachers do not have the time to be bored. Their young students keep them much too busy. Students working on senior research projects are afraid to take the time required to get bored. Stu- dents working on a fetal pig or cat dissection may be grossed out, but they are not bored. Some students are not bored because they have be- We’ve all seen stifled yawns. 119 What about the students who direct the band or chorus? gun to see all the boring, irrelevant courses begin to tie in. Unfortunate- ly, by the time most students under- stand this they are seniors anyway and too excited about graduation to be bored. There will always be sleeping faces and bored faces but there will also be people who are too interest- ed and busy to be bored. These are the people who have found a reason 120 for being here. These are the peo- Wh3t about pie who have done more than just get requirements out of the way and 0 student the ones who will do more than just the requirements when they have teachers? left here. 121 Student teaching: the busiest semester for anyone involved. Student teaching is a great way to spend a semester at UMO and have a semester's vacation. No more boring lectures. Instead you get to play teacher. Wrong! Who- ever said student teaching was a vacation obviously never student taught. A semester spent student teach- ing is a busy semester for any stu- dent involved. Their days are filled with major catastrophes such as los- ing a student between gym and home- room, trying to keep the noise down to a dull roar and trying to stay one step ahead of the smart-alec kid in the class. All day long you think back to the days when students sat 122 at their desks instead of standing on them and when they raised their hands if they had something to say. When classes are done for the day the work has barely begun for the student teacher. Nights are filled with preparing the next day's lesson, preparing a lesson plan for a month in advance and correcting yesterday's totally illegible papers. The student teacher falls asleep ex- hausted, dreaming of a way to teach that smart-alec a lesson once and for all. When the semester is over, some student teachers will admit student teaching was a valuable ex- perience and that the worst kid in the class was not that bad. Who ever said student teaching was a vacation? 123 Lab courses are an evil necessity for many at UMO. Lab courses are an evil neces- sity for many at UMO. With long hours and few credits they are avoid- ed by most students like a fatal disease. Most of the procedures taught in general chemistry labs must be re-taught in higher level chemistry labs. Somehow the purpose of the experiment seems to escape the stu- dent as he tries to entertain himself for three hours by using his water bottle to squirt the kid across the bench. Language labs are great for catching an extra hour of sleep. If you are stuck with a case of insom- nia, the monotonous tone of the for- eign tongue will work faster than any sleeping pill. General physics labs are like playrooms as students play with � 24 magnets, pulleys, prisms and little cars on air tracks. Zoology labs are noted for their large numbers of nauseated students when a fetal pig is dissected on the same day the cafeteria serves ham sandwiches for lunch and roast pork for dinner. An onlooker would have to ques- tion if advanced courses are any more significant or worthwhile than general courses when he walks into Gsnersl PhvsiCS a biochemistry lab and sees students shaking test tubes endlessly or sit- labs are like ting and collecting droplets from a tube. Perhaps a visitor might walk playrooms. into a mechanical engineering lab where a student is dropping ping- ponq ball one at a time. To the student who has never taken a lab course or to the student who slipped by with only one or two 125 The significance of lab courses, experimentation has ° been primarily time consuming busy it all ma work rom which he recieved little benefit and less credit. To the stu- eventuallv dawn, dent with an unending schedule of J labs the significance of it all may eventually dawn and the theory and technique future scientists and eng- ineers need will be driven home. 126 127 128 129 Forestry Summer Camp The days started early with Tom ringing the bell or banging on his pots and pans. It usually ended late with a few cold beers. In between almost anything could happen from: cruising our plots to building a bridge. marking to cutting, a trip to Moosehorn to a trip to the hospital (for some). 130 losing the permanent plots to finding them in a blasting zone. fighting the black flies to fighting each other for dinner. having the bus break down to hoping it would. sitting all day in the gym to stand- ing all day on the burn, singing with Norm to OF COURSE, drinking with Doc. 131 They all seem intent on learning. Putting up with nonsense. Lectures—reiteration of a textbook in monotone. Fanatically taking notes so they will be able to fill in a square in 2 pencil. Computing their knowledge, regurgitating information. In- volved in their world, not aware that it can go too far. There is something other than grade point aver- ages and percentiles. Their mind is hurting. It knows its limits. It needs to be released. It sees there are ways of denying reality. The reality of the lack of direction, of ignoring life's cycles, incredible sources of wonder and connection. The world out there doesn't deal in understanding, in people who can think alone, without bibliographies. Who can read and comprehend without tests to say they know ninety percent of what? Who will listen to a person because they contain a body of know- ledge, experienced something worth hearing about and not because he is behind a lectern with five year old notes. Winter 135 .36 137 139 140 141 14 m An impression most people develop upon visiting the Orono campus is that the college has a quiet, secluded setting which allows its students to study without a lot of distrac- tions. After being here a few weeks, students realize how dull and monotonous the campus can be. Soon the work load begins to crush the creative mind and the campus becomes a gigantic trap, destined to contain students and all their frustrations. Desperate students hit the road and the night spots in search of excitement and a change of pace. Every student who ever attended UMO has felt this way and has headed for Pat's to do something about it. A night at Pat's means drinking beer, eating pizza and watching tele- vision while surrounded by plaques inscribed with the names of Maine fraternities and sor- orities. Pat's has always been an informal place where everyone gets a little rowdy with friends and munches on bowls of popcorn. Thursday night at Pat's is a special night. The R.O.T.C. people come in in their fati- 144 gues after they finish their weekly drill. An- other Pat's regular is Buck Jones. He is a lonely little old man who extends his arms and yells Heyyyy... His favorite pastime is challenging students to Indian wrestle just to see who is the strong man in town. Some people enjoy the atmosphere of the Woodshed where there is a live band and dancing six nights per week. Like Pat's, the Woodshed has a resident dirty old man who enjoys passing out chewing gum and dancing with all the girls. There was also penny ar- cade excitement at the Woodshed because of the slot machine Tank. Excitement mounts around the machine as two pretend tankers battle to a knockdown finish on an electronic screen. When hunger pangs strike on Wednesday night and the wallet is nearly empty, the best place to go is the Oronoka with its free buf- fet. For the price of a pitcher you can eat all you want. In October the Oronoka sponsors an Oktoberfest with a German polka band. 14$ The Great American Pinball Player Ask any of a number of avid pin- ball players why they play and you will probably get much the same an- swer. Most people seem to play it to take their minds off school work and problems. However, once in the pinball groove and no mat- ter what your rea- sons for playing are, you have a habit as hard to break as smoking, biting your nails or licking your stache. The Prism talked to many players and got much the same answers. One player, the last interviewed gave some good insight into the complexities of the pinball player. Prism: How often do you play? Player: Oh, about four times a day. Prism: What do you get out of playing? Player: Nothing but a break from school. Prism: So you mean it's more a relaxant for you than anything else? Player: Yes, basically, although it does let you meet with good friends and have some thing to do together as a group. Prism: Is there certain skill involved or is it all dumb luck? Player: I would call it a mixture of both. I know people who can come down and shake and rattle the machine and win several balls off one quarter. There is also a little skill in- volved in working the flippers. You have to time them just right to get the ball back up into the bumpers and keep playing. Prism: Do you look for any particular machine? Player: I play the machines that keep the ball in play alot. Sometimes you play a machine that tends to send the ball straight down the pipe through the flippers, that's when you learn to shake the machine. Prism: Do you find it habit forming to play so many times during the day? Player: Yes I sure do, and it's a bad habit. Some people have it so bad they have to come down and tie on what they call a 'pinball fix' to get away from the books and settle down. I really spend too much on it each week. About five bucks. Its not hard to waste money on them! Are you master of the machine? Invest the time and find out. 146 147 14« 149 For escapes longer than a few hours, many students spend a weekend hiking up Mt. Katah- din. On a nice day the view from the summit looks out across the state and down 2,300 vertical feet to Chimney Pond. In late Indian Summer, when Baxter State Park begins to restrict visits, it is only a short bicycle trip to Seawall Park and Mud Pond. Seawall Park supplies grills which are well used for cooking quantities of hot dogs and corn on-the-cob. After winter settles in and there is a good snow base, the name of the sport is skiing and Sugarloaf USA. It is important to get an early start in order to be there when the lifts open. Once on the slopes there are plenty of challeng- ing moguls and fear inspiring runs like the Nar- row Gauge Trail. After a full day of skiing the last trail led to the Red Stallion and one of the anything goes parties the place is famous for. To look back on it is to wonder how any studying ever got done on the quiet, tranquil UMO campus. 151 ¥ UMO And Its 152 153 Ice Cream Reserve Officers Training Corps. R.O. T. C. is so completely different from anything in school or civilian life; it gives you a chance to lead. We have to get out there and work just as hard as the guys do. These are a few representative comments made by women in the Reserve Officers Train- ing Corps. is In 1976 there were nearly 30 women involved in Maine R .0 .T .C . out of a total enrollment of 160. These women are not treated as a separate unit. They are incorporated into the brigade right along with the men. They are taught the same things in the same classes with no differentiation according to sex. They get the same benefits from R.O.T.C. as the men. The training and exper- ience they gain in R.O.T.C. can help them in any future occupation as supervisors of personnel. 155 The first female cadet from the 1st Maine Cadet Brigade will graduate and be commissioned this May. After commission- ing she will be eligible for any training the Army offers except combat arms. According to one female cadet captain, The acceptance of women in R.O.T.C. has gone exceedingly well. Once we got into it we proved we could do as well as the men. 156 How do the men in R.O.T.C. view the women in R.O.T.C.? I'd never get caught on the a battlefield with one. Sure, women should be in R.O.T.C.! Taking orders from a women doesn't faze me. Yeah, they are treated fairly physically. In the words of a cadet major; In R.O.T.C. you go out in the fields and play army; it's like a game of chess.. .but the consequences are more serious... 157 CRAFTS The People, The Center, The Fair 158 KVj You don't have to be an ex- pert craftsman to use the Craft Center, but w he n you're fin- is h e d, you may fee I I ike one. The Craft Center is for anyone, with or without talent, who likes to feel creative, who gets pleasure out of seeing what their own hands can do, who feels handmade gifts are more mean- ingful than purchased gifts. The results may not be perfect, but it doesn't matter. The real ex- perience is the creating itself, the thought behind each creation, and the fun you have making something on your own. As we all know, a gift of love is more beautiful than the most beautiful object made without feeling. The Craft Center, located at Hilltop, offers a wide range of crafts, from chair caning to ba- tiking. The Craft Centerwasn't designed for the very experienced craftsman, said Colleen George, a senior who has worked there for two years. It was de- signed for a large cross-section of pe op I e, to let them get into something they wouldn't ordi- nari I y have the opportunity to do. Colleen has taught several courses, including oriental cooking and leather crafts. The Craft Center serves many more people than just uni- versity students. Through the Outreach Program people in the communities are giventhe chance to make use of the Craft Center materials. Workers take 159 Outreach Boxes filled with leather, clay, tools and so on, to places such as elementary schools. Children's Opportunity Centers and the Bangor State Hospital. Housewives, Boy Scouts, Upward Bound partici- pants and nursery school chi Idren come to the Center for classes in over 2 0 different crafts. In conjunction with the education department, EdX 198 is of- fered. This course is for college students who wish to teach arts and crafts. I taught a basic coirse in pottery, said Paula Strickland, and most of the students were mothers in the community. It gave them a good chance to get out of the house while their chil- dren were at school. Leatherwork and pottery s e e m to be t h e most popular crafts at the Center, although weaving, silverworking, candle- making and much more are also available. The Craft Center is most heavily in use around Christmas, when there are an average of 40 to 50 students there at almost any given time. 160 GRAFTS FAIR 162 163 James Montgomery Blues Band James Cotton Band 167 The New Riders Of The Purple Sage 168 169 Pete Seeger 170 171 David Bromberg 172 173 174 175 THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 176 5 178 THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST DEATH OF A SALESMAN DEATH OF A SALESMAN Vtf+fC PLAZA SUITE 184 jT 185 186 PLAZA SUITE 187 HAMLET 188 189 HAMLET 191 CARMEN 194 CARMEN 195 MAINE 1% MUSIC 197 198 200 201 20?

DELTA UPSILON Because of the hard work of a hand- ful of determined men. Delta Upsilon's newly aquired house has been transform- ed from partial destruction into a place to be proud of. This determination has also resulted in the highest growth rate since DU was first established at UMO in 1970. The experience of having our own house has strengthened our chapter as well as given it depth. It has also enabled us to create our own spirit of brotherhood unhampered by any estab- lished reputation. The unpledge bag of the fall semes- ter was the best ever.

Theta Chi made strides to improve fraternity image and lifestyle. This marked the sec- ond year of our Alternative Lifestyle Programs which al- lows Freshmen to experience life in our fraternity. We raised a mile of pennies for the Pine Tree Camp for Crippled Children and participated in the Nat. Guard Xmas Party for underprivilege kids. Yes, the helping hand of Theta Chi is alive and well!
