Moore Hall, when morning comes to Morgantown. One of the oldest and most scenic spots on campus. To most students, the name Monticola means nothing. But, the people who named the publication in 1896 were all products of the then prevalent classical high school education. They knew their Latin. Monticola means dweller in the mountains. By a very slight adaptation, we arrive at the fact that Monticola means MOUNTAINEER. What could be more appropriate?

The bonds at West Virginia University are those of heri- tage and tradition. In looking at the past, we cannot help but examine the events that have occurred. Could 1978-79 ever be as good as previous years? After much thought the answer was obvious: perhaps it could never be as good, perhaps it could be better. Southern West Virginia is filled with natural beauty. £ Livin ' Mountaineer Style 5 M cont. We should move ahead whether that means success or fail- ure with a fond regard for the past. West Virginia abounds with tradition. We must look to the past in order to guide the present and prepare for the future. Maybe 1978-79 would be the year to break traditions. Could the Mountaineers beat Pitt or Penn State? Could West Virginia break the tradition of being thought of as the hillbilly state? Win or lose, June Speranza never stopped support ing the WVU football team. The Lair became a page out of time as people got popcorn from the Little Red Coach. A WVU player discovered the feeling of success as the official ' s arms went up for him, not the opposition. 6 Livin ' Mountaineer Style f £ It Would the Alpha Xi ' s continue to produce the Homecoming queens? Could Gale Catlett produce a basketball team we could support? Maybe 1978-79 would be the year to start traditions. Despite controversy, a new Mountaineer Field was on the drawing board. For the first time in years, students and faculty came to- gether after hours. Rolling of the rug began again. A little extra entertainment was seen at football games with these loyal fans. n Livin ' Mountaineer Style 7 L cont. Above all, we were sure 1978-79 would be the year to con- tinue traditions. There are so many at WVU that if we tried to break all that exist, we would have nothing to use for a base for the new traditions we intended to begin. Although the interests of the students at West Virginia Uni- versity are so diversified, all take part in the Mountaineer tradition. Blackwater Falls remains one of the most scenic areas in West Virginia. A member of the Doobie Brothers puts everything he had into entertaining the WVU crowd. The Pride of West Virginia entertained the crowd with spectacular performances. 8 Livin ' Mountaineer Style n Each student, in a certain way, is misunderstood and unac- cepted by others just as the early Mountaineers were. A sense of pride, accomplishment, and reliability touch each and every student, each Mountaineer. Students at West Virginia Univer- sity treasure the Mountaineer heritage. Each student, in his own special way, is Livin ' Mountaineer Style. John Pierce found that rappelling at Coopers Rock was a good way to spend free time. Is it possible for Hoffman to escape the grasp of the hungry opponent? Livin ' Mountaineer Style 9 ring on ' a Being in college means so many things to so many individ- uals. Everyone has his likes and dislikes, his places to go and not to go. Each knows the times to study and the times to party. Students at WVU are no different. There are times to spend alone and times to spend with others. No matter how each spends his time, there is no way to avoid Livin ' Moun- taineer Style.

The Lair steps are always a popular warm weather spot. The closing of the Stadium Bridge caused many problems for students. 12 Back to School Playing frisbee is a great way to avoid studying. New signs on both campuses helped to unify the University. Registration problems will NEVER end. Summer days found WVU students all over the country. By the middle of Au- gust, thoughts turned to the start of an- other academic year and Morgantown. Some 20,000 students and 1,700 faculty members invaded the city, with traffic jams everywhere. Returning and incoming students had to deal with many changes and incon- veniences. The Stadium Bridge had been closed, the PRT was not operating and renovations to several buildings were underway. All became accustomed to standing in lines whether it was to buy books, pay tuition, or get a cold drink. When classes began August 23, the hot and humid weather resulted in students clad in shorts, tank tops and halters. Everyone thought summer school was still in session as the mercury inched into the 90 ' s. Wall-sitting was the favorite pastime for most. Attention spans for both students and teachers were short, while afternoon classes seemed to drag with thoughts turning to Cheat Lake, wa- ter skiing and suntans. Back to School 13 Sweater Weather By mid-September, beautiful autumn colors adorned both campuses. As sweater weather began, thoughts turned to football, partying and some- times studying. The renovations continued; the site of the old Daily Athenaeum was conve- niently converted to a parking lot. Parties of every kind occurred a around town. The Mountaineer 14-12 victory in the home opener had fans going crazy and getting wild. Maybe being back in Morgantown wasn ' t a that bad. General studies sophomore, Beba Echard, had trouble finding a sweater long enough to cover- tier hair. 14 Fall in Motown Fall in Motown 15 Fall Festivities A student finds peace and solitude on the old Cheat Lake bridge. President Jimmy Carter visited Elkins for the Forest Festival October 9. N 16 Fall in Motown Merry Moore, biology freshman, found romping in the leaves a good fall activity. Many found that studying outside cured the back to school blues. Stu- dents took to jumping the bridge and playing in the leaves. Fall meant West Virginians in the na- tional news. President Jimmy Carter at- tended the Forest Festival in Elkins. The entire country watched the Senatorial race in the state. Incumbent Jennings Randolph defeated former Governor Arch Moore in one of the closest elec- tions ever. All did their Mountaineer livin ' in a little different style. Fall in Motown 17 Scarf Weather r ; ™ Residents of Stalnaker Hall discovered that friends come in all shapes and sizes . Even the Mountaineer statue found there was no way to avoid the white stuff of winter. 18 Winter in Motown As the months slipped by, students found it necessary to change from shorts and sandals to down coats and boots. Traying, skiing and snowballing be- came favorite pastimes. At times, driving became impossible. Attendance in classes dropped as the roads got worse. February 19, Washington ' s birthday recess, provided a break in the class monotony, but not in the weather blues. Four to six inches of new snow covered the campus the day before. Spring break started February 23. Anywhere south seemed to be the destination of most. Students knew that spring break meant about two more months of Morgantown and classes. May brings vacations, money-and grad- uation for the lucky ones. Larry Sappington, forestry student, found that going to the Archery Range for lab meant wearing gloves. Grant Avenue always provided a challenge for drivers.

Signs 23 Finding a Place Spring and fall weather brought many people to the Lair plaza. Bill Miller found a way to avoid the long lines at the Bookstore. 24 Places Chuck Prutilpac was happy with his place at the Outdoor Rec Center display in front of the Lair. Steven Page and Sharon McHenry enjoyed a bite to eat at the Acropolis. 26 Spots to Hit Getting Away Every community, large or small, from California to Maine has its share of chain-food stores and fast-food estab- lishments. Morgantown is no exception. However, it is refreshing to know that there are establishments in Morgantown which do not fall into the fast-food category. Maxwell ' s, now in its third year, is doing quite well. The menu includes soups, sandwiches and salads. Each is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The Acropolis, commonly known as Nick ' s, offers pizza, sandwiches and beer. The Willey Street establishment has long been the place for a good TGIF. Creeks have in-, m;)Ho tho R ,„ k xe and it now seems to be their second home. Sharon Hartley found the Acropolis a good place for beer and pizza. |ohn Giannuzzi tried catching up on homework while grabbing a bite to eat in Maxwell ' s. Spots to Hit 27 28 Spots to Hit The bars 1 UHI ((have always been a focal point for articles about Morgantown. Students will continue to patronize these places as long as the es- tablishments exist. Students will also continue to patronize the establishments that receive little or no comment in area publications. The Bamboo Lounge in the University Inn is fast becoming a favorite night spot for singles as well as couples. Murphy ' s Upstairs, the newest spot in Morgantown, has quickly become the place to go downtown. Located above Extension II on High Street, Mur- phy ' s offers fine drinks and disco. Randy Williams often enjoyed a night at Murphy ' s Upstairs. Working at Murphy ' s was a good way to earn some money for Pam Walzer. Good drinks and good dancing made the Bamboo Lounge a favorite spot for students.

The Holiday Inn has long been a fa- vorite for WVU students. The Executive Club offers good food and drinks. It is nice to know that the Morgan- town area has its share of nice estab- lishments along with the pizza places and fast-food chains. Spots to Hit 31 Music! Music! Music! 32 Homecoming This year ' s Homecoming was little dif- ferent from those in the recent past. The Mountaineers lost, the weather was chilly, and the Alpha Xi ' s nominee was crowned Homecoming Queen. The festivities which creatively sur- rounded Homecoming this year cen- tered around the theme Music! Music! Music! The festivities were coordinated with Classical Arts, Mini Events, and the Coffeehouse committees of student government. At the football game, Natalie Cola- pelle was crowned Homecoming Queen making the record four in a row for the Alpha Xi ' s. The Mountaineers were de- feated by the Orangemen of Syracuse in a 31-15 battle. J. David Haddox, winner of the Steve Martin im- personation contest.

There was a fashion show with the nominees, finalists and the Uni- versity football team, a Disco Night at Fat Daddy ' s with a Steve Martin imper- sonation contest, a beer chugging con- test, a talent show, a pep rally and of course the annual Homecoming parade and football game. When the alumni came back to this crazy town, they found that these hills were truly alive with music, festivities, and cheering. Signs around campus became a usual sight as Homecoming Week drew near. Natalie Colapelle, senior psych major, was crowned Homecoming Queen. Escorted by Vic George, Ms. Colapelle made the Alpha Xi ' s victorious once again. Homecoming 35 Patricia Irwin spent some of her free time working on the pottery wheel. 36 Craft Shop Something Different . . . Help and instructions were always available to creators. This student displayed his interest in leather goods. Something different, something chal- lenging, something creative . . . that ' s the University Craft Shop located in Towers III. The Shop contains such equipment as: kilns, pottery wheels, grinding wheels and molds to help make ceramics, pot- tery, leather goods and candles. Almost everyone that visits the Shop has some type of experience with crafts, but help is available from work-study students and the coordinator. The cost is funded by student fees. There is a small charge for supplies for projects. Seminars throughout the year are available from the Shop to inform stu- dents in recent craft programs at the University. Something different to study, some- thing challenging to design and some- thing creative to make. Craft Shop 37 Concrete is Tradition ? V. mz: , pi?;. ' Hfc - . .

Total enrollment was six students. Today, WVU has 89 buildings and 801.1 acres of land. It has two campuses and more than 20,000 students. The orig- inal campus, Woodburn Circle is now under renovation. The Mountainlair serves 16,000 to 17,000 persons daily and holds about 6,000 events per year. The Medical Cen- ter is a highly innovative health service center and some 270,000 have been reg- istered there. What finer dwellings could a student ask for? The surroundings have changed, but they continue to remind students of the tradition that they are involved with. Oglebay Hall is now the base for the Psych I Department. Woodburn Circle has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Buildings 39 Clothes Make the Man It has often been said that clothes can make the man, and that is more than appro- priate in the case of Univer- sity Mountaineer Rick Poling. The first-year law student from Grantsville donned new buckskins this year, and with the help of a Morgantown craftsman, Marvin Wotring, he has developed into the main focal point wherever he goes, whether it be a ball game or any other function where the University mascot abounds. Poling, a 23-year-old Cal- houn County native who was selected last year by Moun- tain, the ranking men ' s honor- ary, to reign as the Mountain- eer, said Wotring did a fantastc job on the suit he wears to promote the Univer- sity throughout the state as well as at WVU athletic con- tests. Wotring ' s total effort produced buckskin shirt and pants, a coonskin cap, a scrimshawed powder horn, leather pouch fringed leather rifle case and a rifle to boot- all for the meager cost of $595. That may sound like a lot of money, but the muz- zleloader Wotring hand- made has been appraised for $650, well over the total cost of the endeavor. Referring to his new look, Poling said it gives him more of an authentic feeling. It ' s made by hand as it would have been years ago, and most people think the gun is much older than it really is because of its authenticity, he explained. Changing the topic to the suit ' s creator, Poling indicated that Marvin Wotring, of 245 Webster Ave., has a heart as big as Morgantown. I know from my past experiences that you always get about twice what you came for when dealing with him, noted Poling, but I should have known he was up to something the way he was grin ' in and shak ' in his head up and down as usual when we told him what we needed. Poling was referring to the history of the uniform, which is as interesting as the man who made it. Marvin Wotring, a 1965 graduate of WVU, earned a degree in agricultural educa- tion, and like most of his fel- low graduates, he advanced into the job market following school. Marvin works for the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture as a program specialist in the Agricultural Conservation program to assist farmers with cost-sharing, but up until four and a half years ago, the Preston County native spent his spare time behind the television. Then after a knee operation, Wotring enrolled in vocational-technical classes and learned a craft in which he devotes almost all his leisure— making buckskin outfits from split cowhide, mending raccoon skins into coonskin caps, sculpting muzzleloaders from raw ma- terials and scrimshawing fig- ures onto bull horns for pow- der use. The three-month class in Kingwood taught Marvin how to construct rifles from a kit, and stimulated the Morgantown resident to open a shop in his home called, The Frontiersman. In his four and a half years in the shop, he has made 34 rifles from scratch, but he prides himself most on his creation of the full outfit for his alma mater ' s Mountaineer mascot. It all began at the annual Buckwheat Festival in King- wood, where the then- Homecoming Parade chair- man Rod Windom noticed the craftsman shaping a rifle from a large chunk of wood and miscellaneous parts. Windom began to watch him in action, and all of a sudden, a thought popped into his head. It was the nation ' s Bi- centennial, and his three-year old son, Scottie, wanted to march in the parade as a Mountaineer. Scottie marched in the pa- rade in buckskins made by his mother, but still longed for an authentic suit. Scottie wasn ' t the only Mountaineer along the parade route. Mar- vin, and a friend, Ray Burn- ham, were in the parade, also dressed as Mountaineers. Windom explained. They marched along the parade route several times, and more than one spectator jokingly asked, ' How many Mountain- eers are they going to have in the parade? ' Windom said his son saved his pennies each day after ad- miring Marvin ' s Mountaineer garb, and before long, the younger Windom sported his very own set of fashionable buckskins. He now serves as the Little Mountaineer ' join- ing Poling in his spirit building role. Once Marvin finished Scottie ' s suit, the current Mountaineer Rick Poling was serving as an alternate for the Syracuse game. The suit which 1977-78 Mountaineer Bruce Heisler wore was too tight for Rick, so he borrowed Marvin ' s. I got a lot of com- pliments from the alumni, Poling noted. We got talking in Mountain about the possi- bilities of a new uniform, and decided to take our case to the Athletic Department, who furnishes the Mountaineer ' s uniform and gun when needed. Robert Coin, assistant ath- letic director, loved the idea and agreed that Wotring ' s of- fer of a complete outfit for $595 was a real bargain. Although the decision to go ahead with Marvin ' s offer didn ' t come until mid-July, the 38-year old father of three worked tediously on the suit until it was completed— just days before the Mountain- 40 Morgantown Craftsman eers ' home opener against Richmond. Wotring worked for about six hours each eve- ning and 16-17 hours on weekends to complete the product, and two weeks later, called Rod and Rick over to inspect his product. When the pair arrived, they ex- pected a half-finished suit, but were surprised to find complete buckskins ala pow- der horn, leather pouch, coonskin cap, rifle case and muzzleloader. Those involved with asking the Morgantown craftsman to make the suit agreed that a no frills boy rifle would have to do, especially when the Mountaineer was getting all the extras on the remain- der of the outfit. However, Marvin second-guessed them and did what Windom called a special job. I really con- centrated on this job, noted Wotring, and I wanted to get it done fast, but at the same time, I wanted to do my best. And that he did. The brown-haired, blue- eyed craftsman used split cowhide on the shirt and pants, brass engraving on the muzzleloader with a brass replica of the Mountain State inlaid on the handle and only authentic materials from West Virginia. Marvin said he felt real proud watching Poling at athletic contests and said ev- ery time he hears the muz- zleloader fire, he thinks of where it came from. It is amazing how drastic a change Marvin made in just four and a half years. After viewing his finished creations, one would insist Marvin has been at it for his entire life- time. The Morgantown crafts- man spends his time more productively now and enjoys it. I derive a lot of pleasure from my work, and the whole family enjoys shooting, camping, and competing with others who enjoy shooting old muzzleloaders, throwing tomahawks and knives. I also enjoy all the people I meet, he marveled. The people just keep coming back once they ' ve bought something, he added with a smile. Those responsible for the Mountaineer ' s new look are quite fortunate they found such a skilled craftsman so close to home. The shoddy, lightweight machine-sewn uniform and the muzzleloa- der built from a cheap Ital- ian kit have been trans- formed into the most authentic Mountaineer spe- cialties ever imagined. And I ' ll bet Marvin Wotring is still grin ' in and shak ' in his head up and down as usual. -Mike Fulton photos by Rod Windom Morgantown Craftsman 41 A Celebration of the State 42 Mountaineer Week I One of the many events of the week was chopping I in the Lair garden. Dr. Eldoonie ' s Magic Medicine Show had many avoiding classes. The Arts and Crafts Fair had many students wishing for more money. West Virginians were pleasantly sur- prised to hear their radios playing a pop- ular opening with the words, Almost Heaven, West Virginia . . . in the au- tumn of 1971. The song quickly became a semi-official anthem, and Almost Heaven became a popular slogan. Un- like the slogans that boosters cranked out in the past, Almost Heaven was not an attempt to create pride where pride was lacking. Heritage is a peculiar thing. It ' s that which has happened long ago and few people appreciate and you think should come back, noted Jim Comstock, edi- tor of the West Virginia Hillbilly. Mountaineer Week 43 cont. A Celebration Through the week-long festival of arts and crafts, demonstrations, speakers and entertainers, all dealing with West Vir- ginia or Appalachian culture, participants were able to see the meaning of one ' s heritage, especially West Virginia ' s heritage. Mountaineer Week has developed into a tradition and novelty at the Uni- versity. It is an incentive to examine the Mountain State ' s heritage and what it has to offer. Quilt shows and competitions were offered to the University students. Dr. El- doonie ' s Magic Show, Roger Bryant and Aunt Jenny Wilson provided an inter- esting side-light to classes. Craftsmen were in action spinning, weaving, blow- ing, splitting shingles, braiding rugs and hand-hewing logs. Rick Palmer fiddled his way through the week. Cindy Cline and Kevin Mallison were chosen as Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer. 44 Mountaineer Week A woman displayed her painting talents at the Arts and Crafts Fair. Mountaineer Week 45 cont. A Celebration Students had the opportunity to buy items from craftsmen in the Lair Ball- rooms at the Arts and Crafts Fair. Fid- dlers played their way into the students ' hearts. It went directly to their feet as they danced on the plaza and in the Lair. At the game on Saturday, fans watched the Mountaineers battle their way on the field against Virginia in a 20- 17 win. At the half-time activities, the presentation of Most Loyal West Vir- ginian went to James F. Dent with the Most Loyal Mountaineer going to Charles Wise and Elizabeth Wise. Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer were Kevin Malli- son and Cindy Cline. Crafts of all kinds were displayed in the Lair Ballrooms. 46 Mountaineer Week Musicians from all over the stale came to share their music with the students.

Most students have found that the Mountainlair is the place. Located on the Downtown campus, it is one of the busiest student centers in the nation. More commonly known as the Lair, the building was built in 1968 after the burning of the old student union. Long lines at Check Cashing were always expected.

In 1948, WVU acquired its first cam- pus center. Students were asked to name the center. Mrs. John Shott of Bluefield, WV thought of the name Mountainlair: lair as a den for mountaineers. In 1952, students recommended a stu- dent fee to sell bonds to finance con- struction of a new Mountainlair. The new Lair opened in October of 1967, and was dedicated on April 20, 1968.

The Tic was a regular stop for many students. 52 Mountainlair One of the busiest student unions in the nation, the Mountainlair offers a vari- ety of services to the University commu- nity. Included in the facility is a snack bar, cafeteria, art gallery, games and rec- reation center, theater, lounges, ball- rooms, meeting rooms and information center. Marketing freshman, Michele Burchik, found that Fridays at the Blue Tic were best. The Info Desk constantly supplied directions and information to visitors and students. Mountainlair 53 cont.

The number of meetings and pro- grams has grown to 5,000 a year. Offi- cials have considered building a satellite student union on the Evansdale campus. At WVU, the Mountainlair has be- come the focal point of activities and has become as intimate a part of the University as the Mountaineers. For the first time in years, pictures of the under- classmen were placed in the yearbook. John Bailey held what seemed to be an awkward pose for the photographer.

Workers bat- tled all types of weather in efforts to complete the people mover on time. Stansbury and Colson Hall were also locations for renovation. Construction of the new library began. All students, faculty and staff agreed that the renovations would add a great deal to the academic atmosphere at the University. Renovation of Chitwood Hall was completed late in 1978. Construction of the PRT to the Medical Center of- ten caused traffic tie-ups. Upon completion, Colson Hall will house offices and the West Virginia Collection.

WVU students chal- lenged that old saying by participating in a beer case stacking contest sponsored by Stroh ' s. The preliminary competition took place in the Lair ballrooms. Finals were held during halftime of the WVU- Duquesne game. The winning team rep- resented Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Each member of the winning team received a 10-speed bike. Who said college stu- dents study all the time? Stacking Contest 59 Election Time Campaigning continued throughout election day Many interested students took the time to vote. Lines diminished as the day wore on and the weather got worse. 60 Elections The early morning rush required many students to stand in line. Poor weather kept many students from the polls. Marred by bad weather and poor stu- dent turnout, Student Administration elections were held Feb. 7. The number of students voting decreased by 1100 from last year. In total, 4,812 students voted this year. The Underwood Armstrong team was elected student body president and vice president. Barry Zimmerman and Ben Francavilla were elected to the Athletic Council. Joe Carr, Sharon Rapp, Biff Clark and Nick Plesich were top vote getters in the Board of Directors race. Elections 61 79-80 Leaders Craig Underwood was sworn in by fellow student Ray Keener.

Fraternity rush in the fall caused many strange sights. Scott Cutshall decided to be formal and wear a tie to classes one day. College is a place for self expression. WVU students seemed to be full of self expression. Many strange and unbeliev- able events occurred during the year. All helped to make the school year memo- rable. Must we never forget . . .

Twenty four hours later, 51 couples were still dancing and raising money to help fight Muscular Dystrophy. The energetic couples of the Can ' t Stop Dancin ' Marathon raised $15,255.58, $4000 more than in 1978, but still short of the $20,000 goal. The music was provided by WVAQ. Square dancers, blue grass musicians and 50 ' s specialists were on hand to help the WVU students. Gale Catlett danced for a few minutes to support the event. The marathon proved that all types of Mountaineers could join together to help a worthwhile cause. WVAQ helped keep the dancers alive. Break time meant collapse time. Volunteers patiently waited for the phones to ring. Dance Marathon 67 Sports Federation Dave Adamiak, wood industries sophomore, on a trip with the Outings Club. Rugby is undescribable.

In the 1978-79 Rugby Club, separate men ' s and women ' s divisions competed in intercollegiate games with tri-weekly practices. The team, coached by Dr. Cedrick Quick, finished the season with a losing record. Competition included teams from Charleston, Youngstown, Maryland, Ohio State, Penn State, and Pittsburgh. The Scuba Club sponsored dives in various lakes throughout the area. One of the most successful dives was an ecology dive in conjunction with ASPA. The dive was a general clean-up of Cheat Lake. Aluminum cans were col- lected and recycled. The proceeds were donated to the Monongalia Art Center. The Sports Federation involved many students. It was clear that the organiza- tion will become one of the more im- portant in years to come.

That seems to be the general question of WVU students. No one seems to know what it is; yet everyone can find something to do with it. The average student spends 16 hours per week in class. With 16 hours of classes, the recommended study time is 45 hours a week, and 8 hours sleep a night. That leaves 51 hours for a student to spend as he or she wants. But who really sleeps 8 hours a night and studies 7 Vi hours a day? Most students will sacrifice classes or sleep for a few extra hours of free time. According to a recent MONTICOLA survey, the students ' favorite way to spend free time was a night out with friends. To some people, a night out with friends meant a visit to Sunnyside, Morgantown ' s answer to the Las Vegas Strip. Friday and Saturday nights found Sunnyside filled with students hell-bent on having a good time. If you had Saturday Night Fever, Fat Daddy ' s, Mur- phy ' s, or Mickey ' s would have ap- pealed to you. The more sophis- ticated crowd chose to spend their time at the Executive Club, Bam- boo Lounge, and other more ex- pensive establishments. 82 Entertainment West Virginia University had several outstanding concerts during the year. Drama and music lovers could attend the full program of events offered at the Creative Arts Center. Events ranged from recitals to vis- iting artists to full scale produc- tions. Student Government and other various organizations con- tributed to the WVU entertainment by providing concerts, coffee- houses, speakers and movies. Sec- ond only to a night out with friends was T.V., radio, and stereo. Billy Joel ' s albums, 52nd Street and The Stranger held the 1st and 2nd choices in the favorite album category. The overwhelming favor- ite T.V. show was Mork and Mindy. Comic Steve Martin topped the list for favorite personality. The Putnam County Pickers turn the Lair Sunken Gardens into a stage.

A dance of the Caribbean Islands, Flirtation , was performed by the ALLNATIONS Dance Company. Classical Arts worked hard this year in bringing various types of entertainment to West Virginia University. One of the largest productions was the Gingerbread production of The Sound of Music . A different style of dancing from all cultures of the world was performed by the ALLNATIONS Dance Company. The ALLNATIONS Dance Company, a troupe of professional dancers, have performed all over the world in concerts, television shows and cultural festivals. For the music lover, Herbie Mann, Maynard Ferguson and Liona Boyd were in concert at WVU for the students ' lis- tening pleasure.

Sunday, February 11 was an evening most students attending the Leon Red- bone concert won ' t forget. Strolling onto the stage in an antique suit and carrying a walking stick, Red- bone was the image of the Midwestern gentleman, half-a-century removed. The crowd knew what to expect and mellowed out with him in a fun, musi- cally admirable evening. One month later, Sunday, March 11, Mini Events sponsored another great concert. The Nighthawks flew in for a pair of Lair Ballroom performances. The four-year-old, four-piece blues and boogie band from Washington, D.C. has established themselves as one of the top regional bands along the Eastern seaboard. The Mini Events Committee of Stu- dent Administration went big time with their concerts during the year. ■ .

The show opened the week of March 6 at the CAC. West Virginia University has entertain- ment everywhere. Ranging from con- certs and plays at the CAC to coffee- houses and performances at the Blue Tic, students always had a wide selection of entertainment. Orchesis Orchesis reflected on the 40 ' s with their version of Chattanooga Choo Choo . One of the dances of the 50th Anniversary Concert was Appalachian Holiday , a modern ballet. 90 Orchesis ■ II mil mil — Many hours were spent rehearsing in E. Moore Hall before the members of Orchesis are confident they could present a good show. Accompanied by the Percussion Ensemble, the dancers performed Toccato-Third Movement . This year, Orchesis celebrated its 50th year of existence on the campus of West Virginia University. Under the direction of Mary Kathryne Wiedebusch, the dance company presented a special per- formance, a 50th Anniversary Concert. A highlight of the concert was the number choreographed by Dan Wagoner, a pro- fessional dancer and choreographer in New York City. Wagoner is a graduate of wvu. Orchesis 91 92 Doobie Brothers Blackwater , China Grove , TakirT It To The Streets and It Keeps You Runnin ' . . . were just songs on the radio until September 24, 1978 when the Doobie Brothers brought the songs alive. The Doobie Brothers played for two hours and the sell-out crowd played with them through every song. Hun- dreds of people sang with the group or stood and clapped with the music. The time was magic and the Doobies held the crowd, and in turn, the crowd kept bringing them back for encores. For one night, the Doobie Brothers really did shine under the Morgantown Moon. The Doobie Brothers held the crowd spellbound for two hours. The sound of the keyboards added to the fantastic sound which came from the WVU Coliseum on September 24. Doobie Brothers 93 cont. The Doobies held the crowd spellbound lor more than an hour. 94 Doobie Brothers Members of the Doobie Brothers put their heart into each song. China Grove was one of the many songs sung by the well-known group. Doobie Brothers 95 Would Boston be cancelled due to snow? That seemed to be the general question of the week preceding the con- cert. The sky was clear, no snow was in sight and Boston made it to the WVU Coliseum Jan. 26, 1979. The Coliseum was filled as the show opened with Sammy Hagar. After keep- ing the crowd entertained for an hour, there was an intermission. The wait was longer than expected, but it was worth it as Boston took the stage. The crowd ex- ploded to their sound. The crowd re- sponded to each song and did not let the group leave without several encores. Brad Delp did not seem to mind giving the crowd more of what they wanted to hear. Tom Sholtz enjoyed performing as much as the crowd enjoyed listening to him play. cont. Sammy Hager could not stand still as he enter- tained a full house at the WVU Coliseum. 98 Boston Week of Concerts Many bands came together to provide entertain ment the week before finals. 100 Pop Arts Concerts All concerts were to be held outside, but were moved inside after the first day because some pro- fessors complained about the noise.

He competes with the feeling that the final score is only for statistics. The true meaning of a contest is the feeling of being a Mountain- eer. Every West Virginia University athlete knows it ' s not whether you win or lose . . . it ' s Livin ' Mountaineer Style. Gale Catlett brought a winning attitude with him. This player shoots for two. I The first win of the season had the Mountaineers and the fans wanting more. WVU swimmers were once again very successful. Sports 209 Team Makes History Ken Braswell began another season with this tackle of a Richmond opponent. Once again, Fulton Walker was the ball carrier. Jack Palmer would not let this opponent escape 210 Football Doc Holliday, Jeff Macerelli and John Bendana al- ways looked as though they meant business. This pileup found WVU on the bottom once again. A fan, is a fan, is a fan! Loyal and spir- ited to the end, the fan is always there rooting for the team. This year ' s football fans ' loyalty and patience were put to a test. We passed with flying colors! So our football team won only two games and lost nine. We were the only team to play the top two ranking teams. Think about it! Our team was young and inexperi- enced, but tried hard. The Mountaineers ' determination was a major factor in keeping together. Not too many other schools had a schedule like ours. If we cannot brag about our record, why not brag about who we played? Think about it! The Mountaineers started off their season with a 14-12 victory over the Richmond Spiders. Dutch Hoffman was named the Offensive Player of the week for this performance. Hoffman com- pleted 11 of 23 passes for a total of 176 yards. Robert Alexander was the game ' s top rusher with 84 yards on 19 carries. Curt Carion waved the Mountaineers with his booming kicks that kept the Spi- ders in their web. The big play of the game was a 41 yard TD pass play be- tween quarterback Dutch Hoffman and wide receiver Cedric Thomas. There is not much that can be said about the game with Oklahoma. The Mountaineers played on the Sooners ' turf under extreme heat. The heat did not turn the team red hot . Over 70,000 people attended the game and the final score was 52-10. The Sooners were just too fast, just too agile-just too good. To play the number one team was an honor in itself. Think about it! In the third game of the season, the Mountaineers were nipped by North Carolina ' s Wolfpack with a final score of 19-15. The Mountaineers were off to a good start in the first quarter with a score of 12-7, but they could hold down Ted Brown whose two key plays led to two touchdowns-they meant the differ- ence between a 15-15 tie. Coach Cig- netti ' s approach to the game was to make North Carolina beat themselves, but that plan did not work. The score was close, but the Wolfpack was just too fierce. The Mountaineers lost a heartbreaking fourth game to the California Bears. The final score was 28-21. It was heart- breaking because the Mountaineers dis- played both offensive and defensive tal- ents against a skilled team. The Mountaineers freshman backfield was impressive after they moved the ball downfield with no trouble. Football 211 Steve Lewis and Jeff Macerelli waited to begin an- other game. Jeff Macerelli brought down still another opponent. ' . r ■ - TOUCHDOWN-by Oliver Luck. Delbert Fowler and Malcolm Hunter managed to stop this California player. 212 Football They Played Tough For the sixth year in a row, the Moun- taineers lost the Homecoming game. The final score was 31-15. Three times the Mountaineer fans saw their team fizzle out within the Syracuse ten-yard ine. We just could not get the ball on our side as the Orangemen squeezed the Mountaineers. In the sixth game of the season, nei- ther WVU or Virginia Tech deserved to win, but VT did with a 16-3 decision. Both teams performed sloppily, had nu- merous turnovers and missed several key kicks. Fifteen fumbles were re- corded-twelve occurred in the first thirty seconds. One point, just one point behind! Against Temple, the Mountaineers led a passing attack on the first half and led a running attack in the second half. What happened? The Mountaineers lost their momentum. The Owls took over; the Mountaineers could not come back. The thrill of a touchdown came rarely to the 1978 team. Ken Braswell enjoyed showing his opponents he like being on top. They Fought Hard Mike Williams was a key player in the Pitt game. Pete McConnell realized that football is not all glory. N .V . . ?• • --. 214 Football PJefry Holmes tried going over the top in the Cali- mt fornia game. Dutch Hoffman tried to sneak around this Pitt player. The first seven minutes of the WVU- Penn State game were thrilling. Everyone was delirious while the score was 14-0. The Lions removed the thorns from their paws, turned around and regained con- trol of the ball and the game. The final score found the Lions victorious. We could only have the nationally ranked team by the tail for so long. In the ninth game, the Mountaineers broke their seven game losing streak by winning over the University of Virginia 29-17. Dutch Hoffman passed for 106 yards and scored a touchdown. Defen- sive linebackers Ken Braswell and John Garcai combined for 25 tackles and Ful- ton Walker chalked up 87 yards. Finally, the Mountaineers played a game of football that paid off. The Cavaliers were playing something else. Football 215 216 Football Think About It In the tenth game, the Pitt Panthers leaped on the Mountaineers and crushed them with no mercy. Hindered by injuries and ineffectiveness, the Mountaineers lost to Pitt by a whopping score of 52-7. WVU ' s lone score was by the efforts of Hoffman and Steve Lewis. In a Pitt fumble, the Mountaineers al- most regained the ball, but Panther Dave DiCiccio got in the way of the Hoffman to Duggan pass. While the Mountaineers jumped back on the losing side once again, the Panthers gained another win. The Mountaineers lost their last game of the season to Colorado State by a score of 52-14. Although WVU scored two touchdowns on the Rams, the Rams succeeded in butting WVU into the wall. What else can be said except that this season was a hard one to swallow. Think about it! Mike Williams called the shots for some of the season. The Big Three: Jeff Macerelli, Doc Holliday, and Steve Lewis. Coach Frank Cignetti tries pointing his team in the right direction.

The soccer squad ended their season with an 8-6-1 record. Compared to last year ' s team, the team appeared to be stronger and to play more as a team. This fairly young team was opposed by many stronger teams such as Clemson, Southern Florida, Navy, and Cleveland State. Against Alderson-Broaddus, the play- ers presented a tight passing and aggres- sive defensive play which upset the A-B plan. The Mountaineers brought the crowd to their feet many times through- out the game. A-B came into the match thinking lightly of the Mountaineers, but returned home with a different attitude after the Mounties chaulked up a 2-0 victory. The squad finished the season with the feeling that 1979 would be the year to make the playoffs. Determination was put to the test in the Davis and Elkins game. Sung Cul Cho showed this Cleveland foe that WVU was on top of the game. 220 Gymnastics With the Greatest of Ease . . . Even parallel bars were just one of the many events that Sal Parascandola participated in. On the side horse, Neil Robinson was a potential threat to his opposition. Under the superior coaching of Bill Bonsall, the Men ' s Gymnastics team had a very rewarding season this year. The team competed with schools of very high caliber and still came out favorably. At the beginning of the season, the members set a goal of 180 points a meet . In gymnastic ranking, this con- stitutes a good team. The men gymnasts have met their goal on several accounts, breaking last year ' s record of 176 points. Mike Sleeper is definitely a key indi- vidual. Coach Bonsall considers him the Bruce Jenner of the team. Another outstanding player is Brett Kelly. He is one of the team ' s best floor exercise men and the only West Virginia native on the team. Ironically, West Virginia gymnasts are hard to find. The team as a whole was well trained and talented and all members were necessary to produce a successful season. Floor exercises allowed |ohn Schoolcraft to show off his agility. The judges watched this freshman as she per- formed well on the balance beam. Gymnastics 221 WVU Gymnastics :% ' ..

This was a popular slogan among the Women ' s Gymnastic team, which had a pros- perous season under the coaching of Linda Burdette. This year ' s captain was Stephanie Judge and her assistant was Sharon Man- ley. The team hosted the Midwest Asso- ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics- Woman ' s Division. Outstanding performances by Lisa Neutze and Peggy Payer sparked the Lady Mountaineers ' season. Although scored as individual performers, the women entered a meet with hopes of winning as a team. Gymnastics 223 Women ' s Tennis A returner from the 1977-78 team, Ellen Bumoskey easily defeats her opposition. 224 Women ' s Tenni ' The women ' s tennis team had a tre- mendous fall season, losing only three matches. The highlight came when the team defeated Marshall both at home and away, for the first time in three years. These wins gave the Number One state ranking back to WVU, and it also gave them a berth in the AWIA Region Five Tournament in Indiana. Coach Thorn allowed 8 of the 16 girls on the team to travel. In comparison to other teams, this is a fairly large number. Composed of one senior, three ju- niors, and the rest freshmen, the women netters were a young team. Despite an arm injury, Karla Yoho maintained the number one position on the team. This WVU netter proves to be an asset to the team. Women ' s Tennis 225 This WVU grappler attempted to pin his opponent. 226 Wrestling Best Beginning EXCITING! Wins, losses, and ties-ex- citing was the word for the 78-79 wres- tling team. Boasting a 9-3-1 record under first year coach Craig Turnbull, the WVU grapplers had their best beginning in the last 15 years. Their three losses went to teams that were ranked among the top 15 in the country. The team ' s one tie was with Ohio University who was ranked 13 among college teams last year. Turnbull had a relatively young team to work with this year: seven soph- omores and three freshman. With such a young team and a brand new coach, the matmen did extremely well. They gave Maryland (whom they have not beaten since 1950) a big surprise when they floored them 27-15. That was the most exciting match of the entire season. Injuries plagued several matches and team members. Coach Turnbull gave a few last minute instructions. First year coach Craig Turnbull. Wrestling 227 Matmen Beat Maryland This matman chalked up another win for WVU. Distorted faces accompanied the distorted body shapes. 228 Wrestling Mike Perry prepared for another win. Mark Cagle finished the season with a 15-1 record. JO, — ■- Wrestling brought close encounters of the strangest kind. Although everyone on the team con- tributed tremendous effort and ability, there have been a few men who deserve some recognition. Sophomore Mark Cagle was a great asset to the team this year. He finished the year with a 15-1 record and was ranked 14 in the country by Wrestlers Magazine. Mike Perry helped the team with his 10-3 record. Up and coming freshman, Joel Davia put forth much effort and finished off the year with a 12-3-1 record. All in all, this has been an interesting season. The wrestlers and fans have been satisfied, and no matter what the outcome of any match, it was always EXCITING. Wrestling 229 Swimmers go to Nationals Team members found that perfection came after many long hours of practice. 230 Swimming At times, the meets got to be a real mouthful. The starting position for backstroke was a good po- sition for prayer. Team members always performed well alt facial expressions rarely supported the fact. This year ' s season was the best in the history of WVU. The men ' s team created waves by placing second behind Pitt in the annual Eastern Intercollegiate Swim- ming and Diving Championships held at Penn State March 1-3. We impressed a lot of people with our program, said Head Coach Kevin Gilson. With WVU capping off its season with a 5-1 record, Gilson captured Coach of the Year honors, and junior John Havlik swam away with the meet ' s Outstanding Swimmer Award. At the meet, Havlik qualified for nationals. First year Women ' s head coach, Kathy Manger, was pleased to end the season on a winning note. Placing second in the regionals salvaged a 2-5 season which featured nine freshman and national qualified diver Nancy Tedseco. Swimming 231 Mountaineers Go Big Time Dennis Hosey racked up another two in the Feb- ruary 10 Rutgers game. Dana Perno gave the crowd what they wanted in the important game against Rutgers. 232 Basketball As the basketball season drew near, hopeful Mountaineer fans looked to it with reserved anticipation. The previous season had ended with a negative atti- tude settling on the basketball program so a new coaching staff headed by WVU alumus Gale Catlett was asked to rebuild its crumbling reputation. After the campaign was history, Cat- lett called this 17th year in the business, probably my most enjoyable year of coaching. Getting a late start on the recruiting trail, The Cat had to rely heavily on the forces of a 12-16 squad from a year be- fore. He warned the West Virginia fol- lowers not to expect miracles, or for that matter, a year much beyond a rebuild- ing one. Lowes Moore once again proved himself a key player in the Virginia Tech game. At Duquesne, Moore showed the opponents that WVU belonged at the top. Basketball 233 234 Basketball On Our Way to the Top When the final whistle had blown, WVU owned a 16-12 mark, had set a new single season attendance record, a new single game state attendance mark and had finished second in the Eastern Eight. The first month on the roundball sea- son, WVU rode the proverbial roller coaster. Catlett and company opened in the Coliseum by winning the first two games and eventually proving its 14-4 home record didn ' t happen by chance. But three contests later probably the lowest points of the year were suffered as the Louisville Cardinals flew away with 106-60 decision followed by a loss to Ohio University in the first round of the West Virginia Classic. Christmas break had emptied Mor- gantown and few saw the beginning of the Blue and Cold ' s longest winning streak starting with state rival Marshall. Basketball 235 Catlett Brings Wins Nance hit for two Lewis, Nance and Moore waited anxiously for the rebound. Moore went to the middle to avoid the Ohio opponents. 236 Basketball Four consecutive victories, two of them on last second jumpers, led up to a frenzied 83-82 triumph over Metro-7 conference champion Virginia Tech. In the battle, guard Lowes Moore danced on the Cobbler defense to the tune of 34 points to set a WVU individual season high. During the victory skein, sixth man Dana Perno started emerging to his eventual starting status after 14 and 20- point performances back-to-back. As the streak ended with an away loss against Duquesne, marred by the fist- cuffs of Duke ' s guard Baron B.B. Fle- nory, the Lowes Show had just begun. In four games, the junior scoring ma- chine poured in 124 points and in the process was named EAA Player of The Week twice and ECAC Co-Player of The Week. By mid-January WVU possessed a 10-4 record. But the mercury continued to drop outside and so did WVU ' s basketball stability. Catlett ' s old Cincinnati team rolled into the Coliseum and over the Mountaineers. A road trip north pro- vided two more marks in the lost col- Pernb performed well again in the Massachusetts game. umn with a 41 -point blowout by league- leader Villanova and a loss to eastern power Syracuse. When WVU was forced to leave the secure confines of the Coliseum, they were somewhat short of even relative successful, evident by a 2-7 away record. Later back at home, Duquesne came to Morgantown but when Flenory saw a picture of a dummy in effigy in his honor in the Athenaeum, he decided Pittsburgh was safer. The Dukes probably wished they had gone back with him as WVU coasted to a 28-point victory. This momentum was carried for a seven-point decision over Rutgers but two games later Eastern Kentucky ' s James Turkey Tillman ' s 34 points shot the Blue and Gold down. That brought them home for a confrontation with a team that was not likely to be awed by a home court advantage. Third ranked Notre Dame drew the largest crowd in the state ' s basketball history-15,118-but a second half surge doused any WVU upset hopes. The Irish did, however feel the student body ' s presence as the court was frequently showered with marshmallows at any questionable call. Off the floor is Junius Lewis. Basketball 237 As the campaign wound to a close, a last second shot by Moore gave WVU a victory over George Washington and the home court advantage in the EAA open- ing round. Duquesne ' s second visit to Morgantown again resulted in a loss as forward Greg Nance seemed to have a patent on the basket connecting on 10 of 12 attempts. Lew showed this Penn Stater that WVU was best. Moore could outleap many opponents. 238 Basketball fk Mountaineers Stop Dukes Dave Allara helped to show Duquesne that WVU could not be put back in the hills. Basketball 239 Second in Eastern Eight Steve McCune aimed for two. 240 Basketball Referees often had to enter a game to break up disagree ments. Ball handling was no problem for Bill Richardson. The Mountaineers then advanced to the second round where Rutgers ended their season with a 55-52 decision. The loss sent WVU home and Catlett into a tizzy. He blasted the officiating, calling it the worst I ' ve seen in 16 years of coaching and called the league in gen- eral bush. Basketball 241 But the season was by no means all frustrations or hard times. Rather, Catlett has come home to construct some bas- ketball history of his own at WVU and a future to be looked upon with anticipation. 4| ■ v ' - r ; , JP|i 1 b-dJLJJLI rfe__ i i — ■ •— ' « ' MW __=J — --JV High above William and Mary opponents was Vic Herbert.

Lowes Moore-the untouchable. Basketball 243 Ladies Look to Next Year It was a frustrating season for the Lady Mountaineers as the women ' s basketball team fell to their opponents 16 times; winning nine encounters. A tougher schedule and untimely of- fensive cold spells were the biggest fac- tors contributing to losses suffered to Pitt-Johnstown, Slippery Rock, Pitt, Mor- ris Harvey and Villanova. In a majority of the team ' s losses, the WVU squad saw decisive leads dwindle before falling victims to rejuvenated sec- ond half opponents. Other teams will look at our record and see we lost 16 games. They won ' t see our stats or look at the two, three and four-point losses; they ' ll just see that we lost, said Coach Kitty Blakemore. And by looking at the stats, one can see that the season ' s mark was no in- dication of the skill and ability of the Lady Mountaineers who faced the sea- son ' s start with 10 returnees and three highly recruited freshmen. Seniors Linda Findo, Mary Hennen and Jean Mewshaw were key players in the teams ' nine victories. In the season ' s opener Findo, Hennen and Mewshaw scored in double figures to open the term with a victory over Trenton State. The three seniors figured importantly in the team ' s first win in the Pitt Invitational. In the Second WVU Invitational, the women took second place losing to Morgan State in the championship 80- 78. Maine transfer, Carla Cyr, Winegar and Findo supplied the fire power in the two day tournament ousting Towson State College in the first round to set the match with Morgan State. Coach Kitty Blakemore did her best to call suitable plays. The girls saw disappointment the most times since the start of women ' s basketball at WVU. 244 Basketball Stats showed games were lost by only several points. Basketball 245 Marshall fell to the Blakemore coached squad in the Coliseum 85-82 with Hennen canning 23 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. In Huntington, the women of WVU spoiled the Green Gals dreams with a 66-54 defeat of the Thundering Herd with Findo collecting 16 markers and Pat Hovorka, 13. Two bright spots during the gloomy season were Hennen ' s reaching the 1000 career point mark netted in the LaSalle College game and Findo ' s prospect for being drafted into the Southern or West- ern League of the Women ' s Professional Basketball Association. The coach commended the team on its play. The players played hard and never wanted to quit. There just were times when the basketball wouldn ' t go in the basket. Cindy Winegar broke the team ' s assist record dur- ing the year. Opponents became tougher in the second half. 246 Basketball Frustrating Season Stats were no indication of the skill and ability of the team. Morale never dropped during the season. The Lady Mountaineers were never crushed by any team this season.

Since its beginning, more than 800 girls have been initiated into the chapter. This year has been an exciting one. Twenty-two young women became our new sisters. Pledge pranks, parties, wild girls, crazy guys, serious moments, all come to mind when thinking of Greek life. At Alpha Delta Pi, we have these and many more. This year ' s fund raisers included a candy apple sale for the West Virginia Univer- sity Speech and Hearing Clinic, Christ- mas and Easter parties for the children of Public Education for Exceptional Chil- dren with Handicaps (P.E.E.C.H.), parti- cipation in the All Campus Dance Mara- thon, Trick or Treating for UNICEF, the Special Olympics, and Sigma Chi Derby Days. Scholastic achievements cannot be ig- nored as Alpha Delta Pi sisters earned positions in Chimes; Mortar Board; and the journalism, education and band hon- oraries. Many sisters take an active part in varsity sports. Several sisters are mem- bers of the rugby team, the crew team, the girl ' s track team, and the Mountainettes.

The KA ' s maintained their image as leaders this year by cap- turing first place in Greek Week. Kappa Alpha also co-sponsored a Christmas Party for the underprivileged and a Billiards Tournament to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. Other activities this year were winning all-campus honors in archery, holding jiffs and band parties, a Farmer ' s Ball and playing music over the campus from our speakers. The famous Old South Ball, upholding Kappa Alpha ' s southern tradi- tion, was also held. Kappa Alpha Order, with its diverse brotherhood, continues to excel . . . South ' s gonna ' do it again!

Phi Delta Theta helped raise money for the blind and for the March of Dimes as service activities. The Phi Delts won their division in flag football, tennis, raquetball and wrestling. Frater- nity members also won the athlete of the year and intramural manager of the year awards this year. Phi Delts were involved in a variety of campus activities including: athletic council, class honoraries, Pop Arts com- mittee, Classical Arts committee and Rec-lntramurals committee. Friendship, sound learning, and recti- tude are all important in forming the strong brotherhood which the Phi Delts are proud of. Small, strong, and active, Phi Delta Theta is a fraternity for life.

Pi Kappa Phi is proud to be a part of WVU ' s fraternity system. As WVU ' s newest fraternity, it hopes to be an im- portant part in the Greek world by stressing brotherhood to all Greeks. The brothers hope to be an asset to the WVU campus and the Morgantown community. Pi Kappa Phi originally had a chapter at WVU from 1930-1938. It folded be- cause of the depression and the pre-war confusion. Due to several dedicated people, Pi Kappa Phi was re-chartered on November 11, 1978. The brothers are currently looking for a house and boast a membership of 25 men. The Pi Kapp ' s have been involved in their national project: Playground Units for the Severely Handicapped (PUSH). The Pi Kapp ' s would like to express one note to all those of WVU: Watch out . . . the Pi Kapp ' s are back! I ' 111 Front row: M. Gaunt, B. Misak, B. Laughner, D. McClenndon, P. Farley, M.

The conference theme was T.O.G.A. (Topics on Gaining Acceptance into the job you want as a graduating IE). The agenda included many social items, speeches by Dr. Gene Woolsey and In- ternational AIIE President Dr. Sid Gil- breath, and representatives from 12 pri- vate companies. A total of 19 schools, representing eight states, attended the conference. Everyone in attendance received infor- mation about the coal, glass, and other businesses, along with some pamphlets showing the beauty and richness found in West Virginia.

The point is not dreams of the present than to be compared with successes and accomplishments of the past. Each year and each achieve- ment ought to be judged separately and never in comparison to any other. The year proved to uphold many traditions. Once again Pitt and Penn State conquered the Mountaineers on the gridiron. Pledge Day-exciting to be involved, exciting to watch. The Craft Shop at Towers provided a unique way to find gifts for any occasion. Livin ' Mountaineer Style 347 cont. West Virginia is still known as the hillbilly state. But, as one southern West Virginian said, The only people who do not like being called hillbillies are those who aren ' t . The year of 1978-79 was one in which traditions were con- tinued. The Alpha Xi ' s once again produced the Homecoming Queen. Gale Catlett brought the feeling of pride to the fans of the basketball team, as he began building a successful ball club. The Old Stone House is a landmark of West Virginia. State Rt. 7 in the fall-another example of West Vir ginia colors. The Pride of West Virginia! 348 Livin ' Mountaineer Style Controversy over athletic situations hit the University. Dr. Leland Byrd resigned due to the conflicts that resulted. The Marching Band continued to be the highlight of the University and the state. The Pride of West Virginia helped to bring national recognition to the Mountaineers as they thrilled the crowd at the Oklahoma game. President Carter brought the country to Elkins when he ap- peared at the Forest Festival in October. Pre-game warm-up-a hard act to follow. The Doobie Brothers performed well and the crowd wanted them to play all night. Livin ' Mountaineer Style 349 cont. Those living in the present should never align all their ac- tions with those of the past. The opportunities of the present can never be like those of the past. The scene is never the same. The year slipped by in a rather unnoticed fashion. However, it will be remembered because it marks the ending of an era, the ending of a decade. Controversy hit the rifle team. It was in the plans to eliminate the team of national champs. The rowing team could be seen practicing on the Mon everyday at 4 p.m. 4k ■ ' -. vs-v 350 Livin ' Mountaineer Style As we move into the 1980 ' s, some of the traditions will be dropped or forgotten, others will be started. Most important of all, the Mountaineer tradition will continue. Without that tradition, there can be no West Virginia University. WVU has so many traditions that if we would try to break them and be- gin new ones, we would become lost in the transition into the 80 ' s. Marsha Crites, med tech freshman, found snow- balling a good way to have some fun. Livin ' Mountaineer Style 351 cont. WVU students may come from all over the world, may study different subjects, and may live in different places while in Morgantown. But, by being a part of the University, the Mountaineer tradition becomes a part of the individual. Upon leaving West Virginia University and Morgantown, each stu- dent realizes that he was and will continue to be Livin ' Moun- taineer Style. The Marching Band will continue the Mountaineer pride into the future. 352 Livin ' Mountaineer Style - «.
