(By Arika Anderson) to V Amy Will- burn, an Ohio senior whose $440 tuition increase over the last two years forced her to leave all of her West Virginia friends and to seek a less ex- pensive col- lege, the fall term started on the down- side of up- side down. FOR SUE KU- CHINSKI, a New Jersey sophomore and pre-business major, who was waitlisted num- ber 10 in Com- puter Science 5 and got the class because of an enrollment drop, the uni- versity threw open its doors on the up-side of u p - s i d e down. Some called these results ironic while others labeled them strategic moves. A few said that West Virginia University was just seeking more tuition revenue. Some liked the idea and its consequences. Some did not. Enrollment was not standing alone. A myriad of changes took hold of the University ' s students and staff. Although, for the most part, the changes raised the standards and quality of a Mountaineer ' s life, a few developed into controversial issues. Most rising actions were labeled with a pro or con sticker. These new progressive ac- tions, with an occasional twist down, trademarked our period of rising up-side down.

Gold ribbons and proud faces filled Morgantown during the XXIII Olympiad as Ed Etzel, WVU ' s rifle coach, took first place in the small-bore shooting contest. In addition, Fairmont native Mary Lou Retton took charge of five medals, her most coveted being the gold in the women ' s all-round competition. However, the enthusiasm was slightly hampered by the absence of the Eastern block na- tions. Lower enrollment, which made some people upbeat, meant more available housing and smaller classes, (cont. on page 4) -OPENING 3 After an extensive state-wide fund raising campaign by the University Foundation, the pride of West Virginia boasted new uniforms, which debuted at the Ohio game. Twenty-eight years of holding the Mountie musket in shame ended 35 seconds short of total emancipation. It was the Penn State victory. Yes, we won the game in points. However, after it was definite that the grueling duel was in our pockets with 35 seconds to go, thousands of rowdy, wild, out-of-control and crazy fans flooded the field to rip down the goal-post and the end-zone stands. After sur- mising the situation, Joe Pater- no, PSU coach, told officials (cont. on page 7) However, the trickle came down with higher tuition bills in the summer and earlier pay- ment dates in the fall. Starting the year off with a blast, the Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil sponsored an all-campus block party. Although most in the community felt apprehen- sive about the event because of poor Greek relations with the ci- ty, the party was a smashing success. It encouraged the com- munity to respect the Greek organizations and helped to draw WVU closer to the townspeople. Old Mountaineer Field, a historical part of the downtown campus, was scheduled for demolition. In September a crew closed the complex to the public because of safety hazards. 4 -OPENING- OPENING- 5 HUNG OVER THE YARD stud cheer their tional 5 0- LINE, ents from tran- section salvaged by the Save Our Seats com- mittee.

For the first time ever the ' Eers played three home games under the lights; the use of the lights and dollars from TV were a plus; however, the PSU game, which ended at 11:30 p.m., was not convenient for fans that had long distances to travel. In November, the athletic department attempted to sell away the students ' 50-yard-line seats. The Save Our Seats Com- mittee, armed with speakers, petitions and alumni support, kept the students on the 50, where they belonged. In addition to a 7-4 season, a surprise 31-14 beating of Texas Christian University in the Blue Bonnet Bowl brought on the new year in style for Mountie fans. Once the seesawing, breaking-traditions period began, it was evident that the University took all the up-side downs and turned them right- side up.

As the mass evacuation began, students ' multi- faceted summer plans were obvious. For some, the time became money. The lucky few who man- aged to snag jobs spent a majority of time fat- tening up their bank accounts or building up fall wardrobes. Flocking to the beaches, big cities and overseas, many took time to travel. The Humanities Depart- ment and Foreign Language Departments sponsored tours of Europe for college credit. Friends paired up and traveled to the seashore, caught a few waves and soaked in the sun. Trips to cities like New York, Philadelphia and Chicago were popular for the small-town stu- dent. To catch up, some came back to WVU while a few stayed home and attended other colleges. A healthy mixture of work, travel and, yes, studying added to a touch of kicking one ' s shoes off. This combination created a picture-perfect recipe for summer R and R. By Arika Anderson RAIN, WIND AND SWIFT WAVES do not scare Leonore Nelson from enjoy- ing her day at the beach.

Probably not, but USA fans and athletes did not seem to mind during the 1984 Summer Olym- pic Games. The Star Spangled Banner rang from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Velo- drome and Pauley Pavilion. Names such as Peter Vid- mar, Rowdy Gains and Carl Lewis swept USA fans to their feet. As the country cheered on all 174 USA medal- ists, West Virginians were proud to strike gold in these games. A foreign language major stated, The Olyfhpic Games meant more to me this time because I followed Mary Lou throughout her training. I can re- member watching her at Aerial Port Gym- nastics Center in Fair- mont years ago. People constantly told me this girl was going to be good someday. This student did not realize at the time that good would turn out to be an understate- ment. Because publicity after Ed Etzel ' s English small-bored rifle gold medal was poor, many students and citizens found out about his achievement through word of mouth. Somehow, Etzel slipped into Morgan- town barely unnoticed. After his win the momentum picked up: The press came around, and so did the phone calls. On the other A WINNING GAME CARD prompts Kathy Sutter to cash in at McDonald ' s. Sutter ' s card wins her a Big Mac and small fries. hand, Retton ' s win created ecstasy from the start. WVU added its tribute to the Olym- pians by honoring both Etzel and Retton at the Ohio University game Sept. 1. The two ath- letes paraded around the stadium. Retton was presented a momento honoring her ac- complishments, while Etzel was given a new rifle and a plaque. Even though Retton received more publicity from the news media, Etzel did not seem to mind; but students did. Many students began to ask, What about Ed? Shortly after the Olympics, Retton received a 1984 Corvette. Actually, Etzel needed a car more than the 16-year-old Retton. Etzel was hitching rides with friends to meet his scheduled events because his car had broken down. Finally, in early Sep- tember, Etzel received his long-overdue gift: a 1984 Bronco. Some WVU people were involved with the actual games. Varsity track letter- man Ronnie Buchanan was selected by of- ficials to work on the marathon events. Mike Parsons, assis- tant athletic director, was recruited to help with public relations for the games. WVU alumnus, Rick Tucci, who wrestled 1962-66 was picked to be a judge i r the Greco-Roman Wrest- ling competition. For many watching the Olympic Games, it was not only a form of pride; it was an addic- tion. Many Americans sat glued to their television sets while some dashed to newsstands and mailboxes for the latest editions of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated. McDonald ' s brought spectators into the realm of competition by creating their own Olympic Games. Although one did not physically compete, a McDonald ' s patron could pick up a game card and share the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat with the American athletes. As in the real games, winners were given medals for holding cards with events won by the U.S.A. However, the McMedals were edible; they were in the form of Big Macs, small drinks and regular fries. Through the various ways individuals were tied into the games, the L.A. Gold Rush was as much a success for the millions of spectators as it was for the 174 medalists.

In a two-day period, without which most freshmen could not survive college, one received a preview; col- lege. No catalog or brochure this time, it was real life. Arrival at the Col- iseum and a quick bus trip to Towers began the adventure. T Walk- ing tours of the downtown campus gave students a feel for the school. Placement tests in math, chemistry and reading provided insight above one ' s abilities. A barbecue with live music was followed by a pep talk about getting involved by Student Body President Pat Kel- ly. Residence hall meet- ings gave students a breather from the rushed pace. A student mixer with music by U-92 in the Mountainlair Sunken Garden and free video games, billiards and bowling helped freshmen unwind after a hectic day. Day two began with short speeches by Dr. Nicholas G. Evans and representatives from ROTC. The bulk of the mor- ning consisted of rear- ranging schedules after meeting with academic advisers. After lunch students were free to purchase books at the University book stores and to visit the residence halls.

Thanks to Willie Drewery for his 96-yard touchdown reception and the team ' s con- tinuous drives, WVU crushed the Pitt offense and outsmarted their defense. Nothing seemed to hinder the ' Eers; they were playing with the odds. Even though of- ficials called back a U touchdown, the team plunged in and placed six more markers on the scoreboard. By the end of the game even Panther fans booed their team. As Pitt faced defeat once again, the Univer- sity had shot down the first of two rivals dur- ing the season. Next on the hit list were Joe Paterno and his squad. After dueling neck- and-neck with the Lions, WVU began the real game in the fourth quarter. By taking con- trol of a PSU turnover, with 35 seconds left, the Eers clinched a victory. However, fans failed to realize the clock had not ticked down. Thirty-five sec- onds remained as hun- dreds of people poured out onto the field. When Paterno and his team left the field, they ended a 28-year winning streak. Fire broke out in Sunnyside. Students flooded the streets. Officials opened fire hydrants to control the crowds. Un- til the early morning, electricity from the game pulsated through the campus. Although WVU did not make AP or UPI ' s Top 10, it scored two for two and gave the ' Eers the best title of all: better than both Pitt and Penn State.

Al- though there still exists a religious group of preppies, gator-aid came in the form of punkers, new wavers, sporters and dress-ups. Painted and greased-back hair, safe- ty pin earrings, leather jewelry with studs and high-top sneakers became musts for a punker. Faded jeans, black leather, non- matching socks, thrift- shop coats and clashing plaids comprised the bulk of a punk wardrobe. Coining the three- quarter length pants, new wavers hit the campus turf in full force. On store racks many polo players hung across from wild striped tops and pants as this craze took effect. Decked out in paint splattered pants and geometrical earrings with electric colors, the new wavers were no minority. Mini-skirts and oversized clothes were other musts for this style of dress. The reasons for this trend were numerous. Ac- cording to sophomore business major Cindy Cooper, I switched from preppie to new wave because I enjoy being different. The bright colors and wild styles make me and my clothes stand out of the crowd. Sweats, T ' s and shorts comprised a new trend, the sporty look. With an increased con- cern for physical fitness a new imagr emerged. These jocks or jock look-a-likes donned the athletic apparel. Sweat suits in a variety of col- ors, styles and materials ran, walked and jogged through the campus. T- shirts with get fit slogans, professional team names and adver- tisements on the front were bountiful. When it was too hot for sweats, shorts readi- ly took their place. Nikes, Adidas, new Balance and Saucony jogging shoes covered feet. The reason for this style ' s birth was best stated by sophomore Sue Kuchinski, The look of sweats and T ' s is just me; I do not have to dress to impress anyone else. Suits, skirts, dress pants, pumps, ties and jackets gave the dress- ups a more polished, distinguished look. Usually upperclassmen and grad students selected this mode of dress. Designer-craving preppies still existed. This devoted group paraded around and showed off various types of animals plus designer names and in- itials. Polo players, alligators, A ' s and G ' s in addition to the names Gloria Vander- bilt, Calvin Klein, Sas- soon and Bill Blass were advertised on every conceivable part of a preppie ' s apparel.

Students coined the term TGIF to describe a number of Friday after- noon, extra-curricular ac- tivities. The most popular of these entailed, of course, consuming alcohol. Hey, man! Where are you GIFF- ing today? Let ' s gooo drink some beers! Students thronged to Sunnyside. Fraternity houses offered unlim- ited kegs. The Blue Tic had 45-cent drafts. Hap- py hours, large parties and small parties thrived; nearly every- where in town, on any given Friday afternoon, students congregated to consume. ' GIFFing became the most popular ritual in town. For those who were forced or otherwise chose not to participate in the observance of ' GIFFing, Morgantown offered a few equally exciting alternatives. For example, required classes with only one section were inconven- iently scheduled for late Friday afternoons; professors scheduled tests for Mondays so some people spent their Friday afternoons stu- dying rather than ' GIF- Fing. Wasting their afternoons, some waited outside dorms for rides home. With options like these, how many peo- ple would waste their time fighting Sunny- side crowds to get a few beers or to stand at par- ties where they can talk with people they may never see again?

Plots that drew the fans consisted of grow- ing romances, losing lovers, deaths, births, divorces and tragic ac- cidents. But most of all soap characters centered themselves around wealth. There were struggles between family, empires and neighbors. In many in- stances, the snow-white soap characters were involved with the underworld or with mobs. Night-time drama was where the big bucks fell; Dallas, Dynasty and Knot ' s Landing kept many in front of their screens with the power battles, love scenes and traumatic crises.

Running from March 8 to 18, spring break rescued students from mid-semester crises. Break had many dif- ferent meanings for students: some traveled, some worked, some slept, some shopped, some caught up and some stayed in Morgan- town. For those who tra- veled, Fort Lauderdale, London, Hawaii, California and Daytona Beach were popular destinations. Forking out at least $200, many students sought the aid of an agency. Bennett Millstone of Morgan- town Travel said, Ap- proximately 1,100 students traveled with us this spring. He cited the most popular destinations as being Fort Lauderdale, the Bahamas and Mexico. Some chose to relax at home to make up sleep, to travel up and down malls, to catch up with soap operas or to relax with nothing to do. I postponed my trip to the beach until the summer because I just did not have any energy left after mid- terms. It was great to lie around all week with nothing to do, stated senior David Burr.

No matter what time of the year, a holiday was always lingering around the corner. 10,000,000 cards were sold in our 70- chain store, stated House of Cards Presi- dent Thomas P. Rogers. First on the Universi- ty calendar was Labor Day. Falling just a few days after the start of the fall term, the holi- day sent many to the banks and waters of Cheat Lake for a picnic to end all picnics. Turkey day, Thanksgiving, a fall spring break, enticed students to celebrate. Dorm and apartment dwellers held pre- Thanksgiving feasts in Morgantown. Once Thanksgiving was behind, thoughts aimed toward secret Santas, shopping — and finals. Although the bi- annual test-taking ritual lasted for most until a few days before Christmas, spirits were not down. Dorms held door decorating contests and Santa sessions while apartment dwellers put up trees and decked their halls. Kicking off the winter break, the caravan out of town began after the last test. Happy New Year blasts and get-togethers were bountiful as the culmination of 1984 grew nearer. Thank you for diplomats and their birthdays, stated freshman Julie Mull. The U recessed twice honoring both Martin Luther King and George Washington. Not really a card- sending holiday but a University break, Elec- tion Day inspired many student politicians to canvass the area to spread the laurels of their favorite can- didates. It also gave students the ability to exercise one of their adult citizenship rights — voting. Sentimental thoughts of love and friendship were expressed on St. Valentine ' s Day.

I remembered specific events of my college years — the way I met my suite mate Susan, who would become my best friend for the next four years, the first time my four housemates and I looked at our first apartment and some of the all-too -many all nighters I pulled to type research papers in the kitchen. What surprised me most was how clearly I could remember events as il they were only yester- day or at most the day before that.

Marching out of the Coliseum brought relief that the long ceremony was over and sadness that, for many, it would be the last time together. Hugs, kisses, diplomas, family and friends awaited graduates outside. Many lingered there, not wanting to finally close this chapter of their lives. Smaller ceremonies hosted by several of the individual schools and colleges gave graduates a sense of actually par- ticipating in com- mencement exercises. There diplomas were awarded by the dean, department heads and advisers. The cere- monial presentation of diplomas to the graduates provided a personal touch: a feel- ing that the ceremonies are for the individual, not for 3,500 graduates in general. It also gave the graduates one more chance to be with friends in their own school or college.

Students and community members alike excitedly awaited the Nutcracker ballet. This favorite Christmas story was a featured attraction of the University Arts Series, ex- plained Tod Craft, chairman of the Contemporary Arts Com- mittee, which sponsored the series. Headlining the performances in the series, which included classical music, jazz, dance and theatre, were Sophisticated Ladies, Chuck Mangione as well as the Nutcracker.

Modern dance and jazz notables joined efforts for the November performance of the Murray Louis Dance Company and the Dave Brubeck Quartet. With honors and awards to their credit, the founders of these companies were giants in their fields. In conjunction with Pop Arts, Contemporary Arts lured Chuck Mangione and his band to Morgantown. Playing the music from his latest album, Disguise, Mangione amazed con- cert goers with his unequaled energy. The audience rewarded Mangione with several stand- ing ovations. Duke Ellington ' s music was featured by the touring com- pany, Sophisticated Ladies. Scenes swept the audience back to the 1920 ' s to the Cotton Club, where Ellington had his start.

In their training, students prepared for these steps by showing their progress before peers and faculty. Each semester student actors prepared final scenes that were viewed by all faculty and students in the Division. Students in theatrical design prepared portfolios of their work for the design faculty. Based on their progress as seen by the faculty, all were given written evaluations of their work twice per semester. All junior and senior acting students were required to audi- tion for each show, which pro- vided invaluable experience in itself. For the cast, being in a production meant giving six to eight weeks of extra-curricular time for rehearsals. Design students added building sets and hanging lights to their regular clas load.

Entertainment THEATRE SERIES 57 NO VACANCY Signs Show Off Pop Arts Success HUDDLED UP outside the Mountainlair, Lisa Wislon attempts to seek warmth from her sleeping bag as she holds her place in the Chicago line. Although hindered by a bad attendance season, the Pop Arts Committee of Student Ad- ministration had what it would consider success in 1984. However, much of the student body was disappointed with the acts brought to Morgan- town, which didn ' t include any immensely popular rock music shows. This year ' s concert season was visibly affected by the low turnout of the previous season. The University and Pop Arts over the years have relied on country-western acts to make money. These bands have at- tracted both the student body and Morgantown residents. Therefore, it was no surprise when Pop Arts chairman, Saria LeVerdin, announced that Alabama, one of the nation ' s most successful country bands, would be returning to the Col- iseum on September 14 as the first concert of the season. Alabama performed to a near-capacity crowd without a warm-up band. The group went out of its way to personalize the concert, as guitarist Jeff Cook wore a University T-shirt, and the band replaced the word Alabama with West Virginia in five songs. A review in the Daily Athenaeum following the con- cert cited certain problems with the show. But the readership was obviously pleased that the band had returned to Morgan- town, as subscribers barraged the newspaper with favorable comments about Alabama. George Carlin appeared Oc- tober 20 at the Coliseum in a show sponsored by Pop Arts and the Mini-Events Commit- tees. The show, which was a sell-out, was a fine example of the comedian ' s ability to observe and to evaluate every- day life. Despite the audience ' s rude treatment of the opening com- edy act, Carlin took the crowd in hand and turned the show from disappointment to mass hysterics. The audience quieted to hear every word he said, and no routine seemed to fail. Besides Alabama, Pop Arts brought another repeat per- former to the campus. Chuck Mangione returned to the CAC on November 11 in a concert co-sponsored by the University Arts Series. Playing to a sold- out crowd, Mangione brilliant- ly brought to life the tunes that made him famous and the melodies that didn ' t. The au- dience noisily appreciated both. But it was Mangione ' s per- sonality and his habit of banter- ing comfortably with the crowd that made him a success. The musician songwriter seemed close at hand, human — not distant — like many of the Col- iseum shows. Chicago, scheduled for February 23, enticed campers to pitch sleeping bags and blankets at the Coliseum grounds despite the frigid conditions. While students complained about the choices of Pop Arts, they did not realize the hard work involved in pulling off a no vacancy show. By T. S.

Devaney, artistic iirector of Mountain Jazz, sought not just to entertain but ilso to provoke reflection. She was known for her ability to in- volve the audience vicariously with her sense of dynamics, flow and energy. The excite- ment on stage was contagious and left the audience with the desire to dance all the way home at the show ' s end. A new work by artists-in- residence Judy Steel and Susan Gillis was designed for and premiered by Mountain Jazz. To perfect the work, all in- volved in this production devoted up to 10 hours per day in classes and rehearsals. Mountain Jazz was involved with the West Virginia Univer- sity Performing Arts Tours and continued to work as a group with the County Arts Councils to bring dance to many rural areas throughout the state. Presenting music and dance to more than 7,200 children from Monongalia County Schools each year, Devaney and members of the company have worked together with the University-Community Sym- phony Orchestra. The latest col- laboration, Amrose, the Aquatic, was seen last on public television. On the other side of the coin was Orchesis, WVU ' s modern dance company, devoted to ex- plorations in creativity of movement through the modern style. Its originator and present artistic director, Mary Kathryne Wiedebusch, founded the com- pany 28 years ago. Repertoire of the avant-garde reached wide audiences and often left them with the dreamy impression of having looked so easy. Orchesis featured a piece created especially for it during its annual residency, during which a dancer choreographer resided at WVU to coach the company. Debuted last year was Rene Wadleigh ' s Coming and Going in Another Place. Creativity sparked through every movement as music from Stravinsky, Gershwin and Mond challenged the dancers ' dexterity. Versatility, the key to a dancer ' s success, was just a step away at WVU. Of the many benefits, one of the most endur- ing was experience, and perhaps the most memorable was friendship.

Everyone seemed to have an area of speciality, Peggy Trochlil stated. I guess my favorite Core class would be psychology, Core B. It is so interesting to learn about human nature, people ' s reasons for acting and how they think and feel. For those of you who were science and nature freaks, Core C was your bag. WVU had every- thing from biology and chemistry to computer science and nutrition. Many students coming from a small high school found i difficult to adapt to large Core C classes. Freshman Gina Frank said, As a result of large Core classes here at the University, there was an adjustment to make at first. I came from a high school of about 500 people.

College would be great if there were no tests, replied sophomore Julie Romanowski. I don ' t mind going to classes or even doing a little homework, but to receive a grade for the work is college ' s big downfall. This opinion was repeated many times by WVU students. Social life was im- portant if one were to participate in what college had to offer. Sophomore Katie Kimple stated: You have to get out and meet a lot of people.

Because many Core • classes were completed along with requirements, some could be audited or taken as pass fail courses. Auditing a class could come in handy to more students if the reason for this concept were widely known. By auditing, a student attended class without receiv- ing credits or a per- manent grade. Pass fail allowed the student to make a C, receive full credit for a class and shelter his GPA. Some freshmen found it difficult to adjust to the Univer- sity schooling system; but, when one learned the tricks and shortcuts, it was a little simpler. Core classes could be fun or dull. Taking these classes allowed students to study various topics and to decide for themselves which areas were best them. Have you gotten all of your ABC ' s and 123 ' s? If not, don ' t worry.

Many Americans sign up for the armed forces. For enlisting col- lege students, the war games not only meant learning how to defend their coun- try, academic scholarships and monetary reimburse- ment but also real college credit of- fered for military science courses. These war games enabled some to have their cake and eat it too.

Summer camp at Fort Bragg near Fayetteville, N.C., was the first taste of military life cadets received. Drills, tests and more monthly drills readied the soon-to-be part-time soldiers. Participants en- rolled in various types of military science courses while attending the monthly drills. Routines focused on physical condi- tioning and exercise while courses in communication, citizenship and leadership develop- ment were offered. According to Col. Robert E. Anderson, The most important aspect of ROTC is that it teaches young men and women to be good leaders through the instruc- tion in management and problem solving. After completing three years in ROTC programs, soldiers achieved elite officer status. Whether they were decked out in dress uniforms or in fatigues with steel- toed boots, these war games ' participants were easily detected and highly respected among the student crowd.

Hmm . . . about two and a half hours until the next lecture. Need to drop a class? Sorry, not enough time. Face it. The Universtiy was known for infamous- ly endless lines. Lines were everywhere. When students opened their mailboxes to find their pre- registered schedules waiting for them, they cringed if they saw a waitlist number higher than 10. That meant the worst. The doomed students then had one week to go to the advising center to brave the lines in the small, stuffy, overcrowded room. If they reached the head of the line, the exhausted students then watched their adviser simply sign an add-drop form. Arrgh! Of course, the first week entailed more time-consuming queues. How about trying to pay tuition in per- son? The glummest-looking people, shifting impatiently from foot to foot, could be found in the ' Lair ballrooms. Ever notice how fidgety people become after standing in one place for 45 minutes? Almost everyone dreaded heading for the book stores the first and the last weeks of classes.

AITING in line to buy textbooks, students write checks to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of books. STUDENTS in the college of business wait for a class to come out of the room in which a lecture is about to take place. ' archers for sold-out speech books led some people to abort the mission and forget that night ' s assigned homework. The worst came when the buyers of 18 hours ' worth of books had to balance the t on while trying to write out a check. Selling books back at the end of the year was no fun, either. One had to lug all the now-detested text- books back to the book store, stand in line for an hour and then listen to an employee say, Sorry, all I can give you for this one is 50 cents. Maddening! Strangely, some people actually stood in line — not because they had to but because they wanted to. An adventurous g cold and incleHWJ nig desirable passports such State football tickets or Chicago con- cert tickets. But these people had a good time in line. They listened to portable stereos, ate pizza, drank wine and did anything to stay decently warm. Most ended up miss- ing class — just to obtain one ticket. Waiting in line became a routine part of academic life. People did not necessarily get accustomed to waiting endlessly, and definitely no one liked it. But waiting remained an integral part of University initiation. By Tara Reinhart Academics Featu LINES The Job Search Finding future employment was in the minds of about 700 University students who talked to recruiters at Career Day, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the ' Lair Ballrooms. Weaving through a maze of 41 tables manned by repre- sentatives of various businesses, in- dustries and govern- ment agencies, students were given an opportunity to meet with company executives and to discuss employment opportunities. The eighth annual University Career Day was the largest ever, stated Trisha Wroblewski, Univer- sity career services technician. More than 10 new firms sent recruiters. Those included AT T Information Systems, Humes Broadcasting Corp., Gimbel ' s and Wood- man Accident and Life. Returning firms included Kaiser Aluminum Chemical Corp. and Texas In- struments. Procure- ment Assurance manager H. Wayne Phillips said he views Career Day as an integral part of our commitment to college recruitment. The firm, which par- ticipated for its third time, has hired University students in the past from meetings at Career Day. Other businesses at the event met with students interested in both permanent and summer jobs. It ' s a chance to kick off the recruiting season, Wroblewski said. I think it ' s im- portant for all students to gain con- fidence when talk- ing to employers. This is their, (stu- dents ' ) first fo ' ot in the door, Wroblew- ski said. • Students were prepared and asked good questions about employment opportunities, in- ternships and co-op programs. Wroblewski ex- plained that future students attending the event should be prepared to discuss possible employ- ment opportunities but should not ex- pect to be interview- ed on the spot. It is a day for the students to get to know the employer. A representative from Woodman Acci- 1 dent and Life, a na- tional mutual in- surance company, used the time to set| up October inter- views. The recruiterl said the firm plans to hire 30 people dur-l ing the next seven years to work in West I Virginia.

The shell-shocked mind desperately recalled old material and often saw some for the first time. Some people, hopelessly behind in a class, reviewed only summaries of chapters and relied on reluctant friends to answer, What ' s on this test, anyway??

Electives do not include that refreshing new business course which is only for majors. They do in- clude the only class that will fit into your schedule — basket weaving or whatever. What counts as an elective is deter- mined by your ma- jor. Electives encom- pass a wide variety under any category. For example, gym in- cludes classes from weight training to ballroom dancing. Admissions and Records states one of the most popular electives is MDS 60, Human Sexuality, which, at one time, was waitlisted in the hundreds. Nonverbal com- munication is another popular elective. Rusty Warner, a computer science major, said, For a class that dealt mainly with com- munication with other people, 106 taught me more about myself than any other class I have taken. My favorite elec- tive is marching band, said medical technology major Lisa Schultz. It ' s a great way to meet people, go places and have a great time. It ' s amazing how close you can feel to that many people. You get a sense of really belonging. The only bad thing is bandies never go home. Laura Arbogast, a major in animal and veterinary science, said, I hated it. It was a waste of time. Pre-pharmacy sophomore Tim Truman said, Spanish 1 was great. It was fun — never boring. The rest were a breeze, and I made an A; that ' s the most im- portant part. Whatever electives you choose to take, you must first find when they are of- fered; then fit them into your schedule; and hope you don ' t get waitlisted. The decrease in enrollment meant a student stood a bet- ter chance at getting into the classes he wanted. Whether the bane or the highlight of a student ' s college career, electives were those classes which left a lasting memory — re- gardless of major or interest.

Scream! Shout! Get knocked out! One sportscaster claimed it was the noisiest stadium he ' d ever visited. But it wasn ' t Memorial Field or any other 90,000-seater. At Mountaineer Field 62,000 roared, and op- ponents had no choice: they listened. The average fan ' s day began long before kick-off. Most ar- rived at 10 a.m., and some diehards camped out the night before a big duel. They were there when the opposition ar- rived, and, of course, the fans booed the enemy. The student section was almost full when the team warmed up, and the crowd cheered when Woody hit prac- tice field goals up to 60 yards ong. Once the game started, some people watched the crowd more than the field. People up in the stands took part in a Mountaineer original: cupfights. The guys in the hardhats must have started them. Some- one threw an empty cup, which led to more cups being thrown. People then threw more obnox- ious items: two-liter plastic bottles, ice, full cups or an order of nachos . . . with cheese. To get the team going or to let out their own anxieties, fans chanted — mob-style. That deafening roar caused Doug Flutie problems as Boston College lost to the ' Eers. Visiting teams knew they had to beat a minimum of two op- ponents: the guys on the field and the fans in the stands. (In the case of Boston College and Penn State, the fans on the field were an added challenge.)

Coach John McGrath ' s squad came out of a difficult season. The big games were the 3-1 vic- tory over Cleveland State, the 1-0 triumph over Pittsburgh and the 1-0 win over Penn State. Other rival triumphs in- cluded AB College and Wesleyan. Coach McGrath commented, The men had more team play- ing this year than in the past. Although McGrath pointed out that it was impossible to single out one individual on the team as being the top player, credit should be given to seniors Bobby Edwards and Jeffrey Wharton-Lake and underclassmen Tony Lopes and Abidour Niang. The team played great as a unit; everyone played up to his potential. The biggest problem was putting the ball in the net, said McGrath. With a 20-10 record the Mountaineer booters kicked out the season on the up-side.

Because the success of the sports program relied on the backstagers and sideliners, they deserved a cur- tain call too. Starting days before the fans enter the stadium, athletic staff members are hustling and bustling around in the press box and ticket counters to smooth out the job for the media on Saturday.

On Friday, football eve, and early on game day, last-minute touch-ups and hook-ups are made in the press box.

Sophomore Jean Pierre Ndayisenga became the first University Ail-American in track and field since 1979 by placing sixth in the 5,000-meter race in the June Nationals. By breaking the school record and finishing fourth in the 5,000 meters at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Ndayisenga, a native of Belgium, qualified for the championships, held on the University of Texas at Austin campus. Ndayisenga ' s performance capped successful seasons for the men ' s cross country and track and field teams. Four-year veteran coach Mar- ty Pushkin began the cross country season in September by traveling to the Marshall University Invitational versus the California, Pa., Invitational, which usually begins the ith true blue ins meets for runners team ' s season. Pushkin said he had hoped to find stiffer com- petition at Marshall. The W V U harriers dominated the pack of runners and placed Mountaineers in all of the first five slots. Ndayisenga paced the race with a course record of 24:30. WVU finished the cross country season by winning the Atlantic 10 Conference. The team was ranked as high as sixth nationally during the year. Ndayisenga and captain Joe Wangugi qualified for nationals. The team placed third at the Eastern Regionals. During the outdoor track and field season, the team was plagued by injuries, officials ' errors and baton exchanges that Pushkin described to an Athenaeum writer as atro- cious. Despite the problems, the team ' s season had several highlights, including placing first in the Mountain State In- vitational in Charleston. WVU finished the meet with 159 points, followed by second- place Kent State with 112 points. WVU ' s John Mair, a sophomore sprinter, qualified for the nationals in the 200 meters at the invitational. His time was 20:73, and he accom- panied Ndayisenga to Austin, Texas, for the NCAA championships.

Despite having only three returning members, the University women ' s cross country team had a pretty good season, said Coach Kim Kemp. Looking at this past season as a building year in preparation for the 1986 season, Kemp said the team performed maybe a little bit higher than she had expected. The women faced not only experience problems but dif- ficulty in make-up as well. Kemp explained that many of the female cross-country run- ners during the fall season were short-distance runners — not long-distance specialists. Their specialty wasn ' t cross country, but they were running it to get in shape, she continued. Kemp said the next cross country team will be stronger because of successful recruiting efforts. State champion Margret Blake of Fairmont Senior High School and eight other long- distance runners plan to attend the University. Highlights for the season were the team ' s victory in its only dual meet and finishing ninth at the Eastern Regionals end women into a urvival search at the Pennsylvania State University. Junior Kris Kavetski ranked as the team ' s high finisher com- ing in at 24th place with a time of 18:19. Four runners — Lisa Ayers, Jody Bailer, Margeurite Higgins and Jean England — set personal records at the regional event. Kemp, in her first year at WVU after two years as assis- tant coach at Syracuse, was not disappointed that the team finished ninth out of 15. She told an Athenaeum writer: I would have liked to have finished higher, but, for this year, we did well. I would rather be in this position than have a team full of seniors finishing real high and then have to start all over again. The runners joined the field event participants to begin the indoor track-and-field season; the team broke 12 school records. At the Eastern Regional Championships, the team placed fourth in a field of 44 teams. Senior Tammy Hender- son qualified for the nationals in the 55-meter dash, and the combination of Jean England, senior; Joan Humphries, senior; Chris Haberstumpf, sopho- more; and Lori Smith, freshman; qualified for na- tionals in the 4x800-meter relay. Coach Kemp ' s runners began the outdoor season with a strong performance in Raleigh, N. C, by setting four school records; the team went on to set three more school records, and Henderson qualified for the NCAA championships in the 100-meter dash. The Mountaineers placed fifth in the Eastern Regionals during the outdoor season. Injuries didn ' t pose much of a problem for the team although Chris Haberstumpf and freshman Jane Tennant had to be red-shirted during the out- door season. Kemp said both team members would be back for the 1985-86 seasons. Next year was the phrase heard as the young team strug- gled against more experienced schools. I ' m really looking for- ward to next year, Kemp said. The good recruiting year and new experiences gained by the young team should prove to be assets. Just wait ' til next year. By A.

The 10-member team combined forces to break national, school and personal records. Spearheaded by the four- member small-bore team con- sisting of Mike Anti, Christian Heller, Dave Johnson and Dave Ridenour, the Mountaineers garnered a national record of 4,680 in the event during the preliminary tryouts for the U.S. Shooting Team. Coach Ed Etzel ' s squad took all collegiate team records in the air rifle and small-bore events. Setting the national record was something that has eluded us for quite some time, stated Dave Ridenour, team captain. In the same match, the com- bined score is the highest ag- gregate score ever fired, which will be a record to aim at in the future. Throughout the season the only team to beat the ' Eers was East Tennessee State. However, the streak was to end on a bitter note at the NCAA Rifle Cham- pionships at West Point, NY. The Mountaineers lost by one point in the overall competi- tion to Murray State. Despite the loss, the team did win the air rifle event with 1,534. Leading the stats, senior Ridenour became the only col- lege shooter to be named first- team All-American in both small-bore and air rifle for four consecutive years. Freshman Heller, a native of Sweden and a member of the Swedish Olympic team, became the first foreign competitor to win a na- tional rifle championship when he took the air rifle title at West Point. He also finished second in the three-position small-bore event at the championships with 1,164 to Murray State ' s Olympic Gold Medalist Pat Sprugin ' s 1168. WVU had 33 percent of the All-American selections for air rifle with seven of its 10- member team selected. In addi- tion to Ridenour, the other honorees included Heller, Anti, Roger Davidson, Bill Dodd, Johnson and Bart McNealy. In small-bore, WVU had 25 percent of the total All- American team, which in- cluded Anti, Dodd, Heller, Johnson and Ridenour. Looking back at the cham- pionships, Ridenour said, Considering the fact that we shot six points higher than each member on Murray State ' s team, I feel that it was just a shame to get so close and be denied.

After a disappointing fifth place finish in the Eastern Kentucky Invitational to start the season, head coach Terry Deremer ' s squad opened the regular season with three open- ing match losses, before taking their next four, including a big 5-1 victory over Virginia Tech. With a four-match winning streak on the line, the Moun- taineers went into their annual spring break Florida tour with high hopes, but they lost the first six matches against tough Florida netters to bring their season mark to 4-9. That ' s where WVU ' s big winning streak started. With a tight 5-4 victory over Jacksonville, WVU proceeded to win nine in a row before an upset loss to Mercyhurst, taking their record to 13-10. In their last five matches, West Virginia stayed hot, win- ning four over Pitt, James Madison, Fairmont and an ex- citing 5-4 come-from-behind victory over rival Penn State. WVU ' s only loss came at the hands of always tough Ohio State to take a 17-11 mark into the Atlantic 10 tournament. With the last four Atlantic 10 championships under their belt, West Virginia was the favorite going in, but a cold streak brought them out third behind Temple and Penn State. Individually for the Moun- taineers, junior John Prokity from Charleston, W.Va. was voted the team ' s Most Valuable Player with a 21-12 record in singles play, and along with senior Tim Albert, combined for a 19-7 record in doubles.

All About It in the Campus Media . In some cases the media worked against and, in others, it worked for students; however, at WVU students worked for the media. Probably the most known form of media was the Daily Atheneaum. With the exception of the general manager, the DA was literally a house at 284 Prospect St. full of students clamoring about to produce a newspaper four days a week while juggling classes, tests and term papers. When editors, photographers, writers and production crews pulled their sources and sometimes their hair out, a professional-quality medium was produced. Sharing the DA ' s little home was the Monticola. A Cinderella story, the year- book had traveled over a long, rocky road. For the past two years, staff members have known it may be the last. After 90 years, the Mon- ticola was in danger of extinction. In an attempt to improve and modernize the book, several staff members attended various year- book workshops such as the West Virginia Scholastic Press Associa- tion Conference and the West Virginia University Journalism Camp. Extending their school day into the dark of the night, staff members pushed to get half of the pages sent into the company by the end of January. With the difficult pages out of the way, the staff struggled for an early completion. Offering an alternative ex- perience, the WWVU 92-FM sta- tion staff presented a multitude of music morsels to satisfy most listeners ' tastes. A moose was not the typical animal spotted in this college community so perhaps it was ap- propriate that a moose was the mascot of the not-so-typical radio station in town. The U-92 news team, 20 students strong, was one of the largest broadcast crews in the state to cover West Virginia, local and University news. General Manager Roy Gerritsen said U-92 saw itself as an alter- native — not a competitor — to the area ' s comm erical stations.

Such was the sentiment of dedicated, enthusiastic and spirited Mountaineers, better known as the University cheerleaders. This squad of 12 men and women had one and one-half weeks to prepare cheers and routines. While other athletic squads worked weeks together prior to that first game, the cheerleading squad was selected after three days of technique and skill clinics and then had only days to get organized before the first game. The football and basketball squads were encouraged by the cheerleaders at all games, in- cluding the Bluebonnet Bowl and the Atlantic 10 Tournament. Practicing routines three times a week was not so easy as some would believe. Scott Ryan, squad adviser, said, One of the things people do not realize is the amount of work a cheerleader puts in or the difficulty of keeping the crowd ' s enthusiasm up when the team is having a rough time. Varsity cheerleaders were John Bentley, Scott Chatelain, Diana Cole, Becky Barfield, Tom Haveg- ger, Beth Iden, Kevin Maloney, Rebecca Miller, Beth Panigall, Kevin Peters, Rita Setlift and Jerry Taylor. Another highly visible symbol of spirit was Mountaineer mascot Mark Boggs.

Lounging in the newly remodeled TV room, the girls experienced comfort plus enter- tainment on those late school nights. The fresh mint green, peach and beige living room suite was complemented by new carpeting and new glass tables. These provided a homey atmos- phere for the girls. There is no other way to describe the second change but with the words young, friend- ly and vivacious. Receiving a new house- mother, the Chi Os quickly ac- cepted their new second mother, Beverly Watkins, as she provided advice and support to the girls. In October of their fun-filled year, the Chi Os brought the safari jungle to the Ramada Inn as they sponsored a Chee-O- munga Date Party. As December rolled around, the sorority planned their Christmas Party and their January informal date party. Big plans were made as the girls shopped for bargain prices for their Spring Formal at the Red Cellar. The Chi Os rounded out the school year with their annual Beach Party as they stuffed themselves with foot-long sub sandwiches. Once the Chi O pledge members became familiar with the girls in the sorority, they knew that once you ' re a Chi O, you are a Chi O for life. gM% ON SPRUCE STREET the Delta Delta Delta house remains the center of the girls ' activities.

Per- sonal accomplishments ranged from Pledge Kirsten Pach, who was a member of the U.S. and the WVU rifle teams, to Karen Kratofil, who was president of Panhellenic Council. Throughout the year these individuals bound their strengths for Tri Delt goals. Earning money for the Cancer Research Center, the annual Tri Delta run raised donations totalling four digits. Keeping to their motto ( Let us steadfastly love one another ), the girls planned many social events together: the Oct. 26 Halloween Date Party, the Nov. 30 Fall Formal, the Feb. 8 Orange Crush and the March 23 Spring Formal. Led by Stephanie LeNeve, president; Kim Ross, vice presi- dent; Ann Sorber, chaplain; Betsy Lentz, pledge trainer; and Susan McDermott, the girls paired with Phi Gamma Delta during Homecoming to take first place in the song contest.

About 40 brothers lived in the 672 N. High St. house. Running away with victories, the men competed in both the Mountaineer Week and Home- coming festivities like champions. In addition to smaller fund- raisers, the Phi Sigs had a ' GIF in the spring to benefit their philanthropy, Cystic Fibrosis. Parties and listeners, like a Trashed Suit Party and a Moonlight Ball, were other im- portant events of the year. THE PHI SIGS ' house stands on North High Street.

It was based on an ancient story of Constantine. Friendship, justice and learning were Sigma Chis ' special qualities. A month before rush started, summer parties were given by alumni in Charleston and in Morgantown to get many possi- ble pledges. Sigma Chi has been at WVU for almost 90 years. Their colors are old gold and blue; their flower is the white rose; and their symbol is the white cross. Sigma Chi was best known for its Derby Days. This an- nual charity fundraiser lasted for two weeks. During Derby Days, the brothers and all of the sororities participated in games, car washes, parties, a Derby Darling Contest and a 5-mile race. With a lot of hard work they raised $2,000 and donated it to the Morgantown Rape and Domestic Violence Center. Sigma Chi held its annual Sweetheart Formal at Canaan Valley Resort Dec. 4. Their Spring Formal was at The Chestnut Square. Sigma Chi came in fourth place during Greek Week. Members also participated in many intramural sports this year. In January, 21 new members were initiated, and 14 pledges went active in August. This year Sigma Chi paid off its mortgage three years early and created some major renova- tion plans for the house. Todd Mullins was the presi- dent of Sigma Chi; Rader Dod II, vice president; Scott Phillips, treasurer; and Richard E. Mat- way, secretary.

President Sunny Guirard and Vice President Debbie Davis led the 95 actives and 31 pledges through the year. Teaming up with Phi Psis for Homecoming, the Kappas went on to capture many awards. The Winter Formal was on Dec. 6 at the Chestnut Square while the Spring Formal was April 19 at the Elks ' Lodge. Donating much of their time to charity, the girls gave blood, assisted handicapped students and donated to the American Cancer Society.

But isolating themselves was common practice for the Pi Phis, the first national frater- nity for women. Pledging 37 new members during the school year, the chapter grew to a record 92 strong. However, individuals were not lost in the crowd. Sister Cindy Forbes became the 1985 Mountaineer sweetheart while Dee Dee Charlton and Kelley Schwark can be admired on the Faces of WVU calendar. Other members became represen- tatives to Panhellenic. Chris Pofi was elected by her sisters to serve as the chapter president. Leigh Ann Friend, vice- SISTERS OF PI BETA PHI president of Mental Advance- ment, continued the popular study buddy program at the house. The program proved successful. In the fall the women received a Panhellenic award for having the highest sorority grade-point average. In charge of the group ' s morale advancement was vice president Debbie Park. Suc- cessfully building up the group ' s morale, charity benefit work was an important part of the year. The sisters ' national philanthropy, the Arrowmont Settlement School in Gatlin- burg, Tenn., received a $1,000 addition to their budget thanks to the University ' s support of the annual Pi Phi Caper, Jan. 6. Expanding fundraising skills, the group collected one of the highest amounts for the American Cancer Society and took third place overall during Greek Week.

During Old South Week the fraternity brothers emulated the traditions of Robert E. Lee and his ideals. This included bravery, honor, protection of the weak, re- specting women and being against slavery. The motto of Kappa Alpha Order is Dieu et les Damesk, which means God and womanhood. In intramurals, Kappa Alpha Order participated in broom- ball hockey, baseball, football, frisbee and other sports. Mountaineer Week activities included a walk-a-thon and a beard-growing contest. KEEPING AN EYE on the game action, this Kappa Alpha brother watches from the student section. A Homecoming float depict- ing a football field, the Moun- taineer and names of the bowl games WVU has played brought Kappa Alpha Order second place. This year there were many theme parties: an assassination party, a golf listener and a Lady and the Tramp party. The Black and White Formal occurred at the Elks Lodge in December. The next day members had a picnic at Chestnut Ridge. The brothers raised money for Muscular Dystrophy, the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash, Alpha Xi Delta Breathe e-Xi Week. They also helped the Kappa Deltas earn additional money for the Morgantowr Rape and Domestic Violence Center. Kappa Alpha Order has beer at WVU for 88 years.

A few new traditions were started, while many old tradi- tions were maintained. The social season kicked off with an annual beer blast, which featured the popular Pittsburgh band, G H Flyer. To commemorate the closing of the 1984 Olympics, the Sig Eps had an Olympic theme listener with the Alpha Phis and the Dee Gees. In November, their first an- nual Jail Party proved to be a success. The fall semester also meant the start Of the intramural season, and the Sig Eps built an early lead in the race for the cup. Four of their six football teams made the playoffs; one team captured the All Cam- pus championship. They also excelled in volleyball and soccer. Their fall philanthropy pro- ject, the Penn State Football Run, was well-received once again. The brothers took to the road and covered 200 miles from State College, Pa. to Mountaineer Field in three days. They raised more than $1,500 for Special Olympics. The start of 1985 proved to be equally exciting with the Nuclear Arms Race listener with the Kappas and the Chi Os. In early March, they held their second annual Nine-hole Golf Party, in which it didn ' t matter who came in first because everyone lost. They also held their Spring Formal in the beautiful Heart ' O Town Holiday Inn in Charleston. Besides having a fantastic time, it was one final chance to thank the seniors for their contribu- tions and to help in making the fratNo. 1. The spring philanthropy was a Head Start picnic with the underprivileged children of Morgantown. All one had to do was see the faces of these children to know the picnic was worthwhile. The Sig Eps also captured first place in the Alpha Xi Breathe e-Xi Week and, for the first time in five years, first place in Greek Week. Finally, the Sig Eps built an unsurpassable early lead in the semester by dominating sports such as basketball and broom- ball to win the coveted in- tramural cup for the fifth time in seven years. Winning the cup meant a party, featuring plenty of champagne for everyone. In every part of Greek life, 1984-85 was a good year for Sigma Phi Epsilon. All one would have to do is look at the record to see why they say Sig Eps — Pride through Excellence.

For a long time some students had boasted about the University as a party school while of- ficials had maintained that the University was much more than just a party. In September Lisa Birnbach, author of The Official College Hand- book, coined WVU as the top party school in the country. This brought mixed emotions from the student body. One view was: WVU, the top party school in the country, was one institution that packed up its books, podiums and pencils after class was out. After 5 p.m. a whole new image emerged from the streets of Morgantown. While some consistent- ly celebrated every night, most students, opting for the pre-weekend bar specials, started to party on Thursday. The possibilities end- lessly spanned from Sun- nyside to downtown bars, frat parties, private parties and the TIC. Friday kicked off the famous TGIFing. People would blow off class for an afternoon on the ' Lair plaza, music and beer. In the fall, Saturday football games brought people out early to tailgate parties and out late for post-game cele- brations.

The second view was: Sure we party, but who between the ages of 18 and 25 doesn ' t? What about all 20 WVU Rhodes Scholars, aca- demic awards and accreditations? On every campus there exists a group who are there just to live off Mom- my and Daddy. Unfor- tunately, those few created WVU ' s party- hearty reputation. I, for one, do not awake every morning on the street corner so hung over that I can ' t make it home — much less to class. Don ' t get me wrong. I am not a prohibitionist, but I, like many of my friends, know what the word limit means. Okay, so the crowds at the Penn State and Boston College games were unru- ly. But a majority of the civilian post-game show participants were older than students — more like alumni. Assuming this hypothesis would make more sense because almost all of my fellow classmates had not yet been conceived during a part of the 28-year losing span. Yes, Sunnyside is a bar community, but there are those of us who don ' t make a trip to Sunnyside a daily ritual. Besides, every college town has a Sunnyside.

The doubled stadium security force ejected anyone caught launching an object from the stands. Student Administration President Pat Kelly worked with the Athletic Department on a cam- paign to stop illegal ac- tivities. Letters in the newspaper talked of end- zone seats; threats of fur- ther prosecution were utilized as the team ' s ammunition. Soon after the crackdown began, a decrease in flying objects occurred. Students stuck together by booing those who chose to make inanimate objects airborne at the games. Until the Boston Col- lege and Penn State games, the self-policing of the students reduced the problem dramatically. However, two dynamic edge-of-your-seat vic- tories not only brought back the cup fighting but also enticed fans to flood the field and to down two goalposts on national television.

It was not what was about to happen that bothered me; it was the way that it was happen- ing, stated sophomore Tammy Tucker. Giving students less space at the games might not have caused as much commo- tion if there were not so much secrecy in the issue. Bypassing the student administration and the student body, the athletic department, nicknamed Schaus and Company attempted to decrease the student section by 2,300 seats and to replace the 50-yardline seats with less valuable endzone bleachers. Outraged, student ad- ministration led students through a Save Our Seats campaign. Officials were forced to meet with protesters to form a compromise. Students and athletic officials both came out ahead as part of the new seat deal. The major change in policy required ' students to confirm their attendance. On Wednes- days preceding home games they will pick up confirmation cards to lei the athletic department know how many seats will be required for th game. After the count, the remaining student seats will be sold. By Martina D ' Angelo 178 Magazine WHAT ' S UP? SAVE OUR SEATS WHAT ' S UP?

UP FOR DESTRUCTION A sundeck, a practice ield, a playing turf, a ecreational area and a athway, Old Moun- aineer Field, a multi- aceted facility, boasted ' No Trespassing signs ind chained locks early in September. Dedicated in 1925 and rlosed in 1971, the stadium aced demolition plans in Sfovember 1984. however, the structure surprisingly braved the winter. Creating student con- troversy, the signs and locks were meant for in- dividuals not affiliated with campus organiza- tions. The band, in- tramural teams and other groups had access to the complex. Facilities planner Rob- ert Merow said, We were afraid that people would not realize the ' danger and wander into the stands. According to the Univer- sity ' s general liability clause, WVU would be held responsible. There are not many safe facilities for running and exercising down- town. I find it difficult traveling to the Coliseum for an hour of exercise. The (closed) stadium has inconvenienced me, said Robin Young, junior ac- counting major. Merow said, The stadium will come down in the future because the facility has been replaced and no longer provides a service. On the old stadium site, the University will build a structure to house the Col- lege of Business and Economics along the stadium loop and a math and computer science building along Campus Drive.

Up in Arms It was a wispy December Sunday. Morgantown was calmly settling down to prepare for Monday, the start of another work week. On the Evansdale campus the University choir was performing the Messiah while police fled downtown. What happened? you might wonder. At 5:15 p.m. Dec. 2, police received an anonymous report of gun- shots being fired around 541 Beechurst Ave. One shot had killed Dorris Cornwell. A domestic dispute was the label later given to the incident. Within minutes the police had surrounded the house and had blocked off the street. The lawmen first attempted to abduct the suspect, Jessie Richard Thomas; however, shots were fired at them. Because of obvious se- curity hazards, the situa- tion called for waiting and communication. However, for this case, the wrong type of com- munication took place. After the local radio stations began informing people of the incident to keep the public out of danger, residents opted for a change of pace and traveled to the action. Following a few hours of publicity, Thomas was still harboring his gun, and a crowd of spectators gathered to watch. Next, with hopes of a surprise attack, the police began shooting tear gas into the dwelling. By 11 p.m. townspeople had gone to Beechurst Avenue. Many were yell- ing and cheering. Some brought blankets and coolers to watch the situation. While attempting to keep the audience and of- ficers out of danger and the situation under con- trol, police utilized more tear gas. Around 12:30 a.m. the episode ended with one suicide shot to Thomas ' head. The next day Morgan- town made the national headlines — not because of the shooting but because of the spectators. After the incident one question remained: Were the crowds ' chants partial- ly responsible for Thomas ' By A. Mark Dalessandro death?

After a Board of Ad- visors ' meeting, weighing out the pros and cons, the athletic department and President Gee solved the dilemma by staying in the Atlantic 10. Students, who con- tribute a large portion of the athletic department ' s budget in their tuition fees, possessed mixed emotions about the change — or lack of change. The Atlantic 10 has been good to WVU. When you have a good thing, why ruin it? said Paul Hinerman. Maybe, Metro or another conference could have offered a better com- petition schedule for some of the teams. I guess, now we ' ll never know, said Jim Thomas. Because athletics is a vital segment of WVU for both students and alumni, it ' s good for the officials to explore all options. Even if a change is not the best thing at the time, this ' to be or not to be ' Atlantic 10 dilemma showed me how carefully the athletic department is looking after my money. Keep up the good work! said Lori Jones. Considering the students ' feelings, the conference decision ap- peared to be a standing move forward.

In March rumors of the University of Colorado ' s contacting President E. Gor- don Gee about a possible presidential offer hit Morgantown. In early April the rumor expanded with Gee ' s trip to inspect the Boulder campus. WVU officials became restless. At the time Gee claimed to have no interest in the Colorado position. As the month progressed, WHAT ' S UP? Gee professed that he would make no public statement about his plans until after the May 20 com- mencement ceremony. One day after the graduation day on which Elizabeth Gee received her PhD, President Gee resigned. The three-year veteran gave salary and his wife ' s career oppor- tunities as the major reasons for his career move. Thrown into the posi- tion of looking for a new leader, the University selected Dean Diane Reinhard as the interim president while the search continued for a perma- nent replacement. Reinhard ' s leadership marked the University ' s history books as she was the first woman picked to run the institution. Looking for a new president created much student sentiment. I feel that Gee used us as a stepping stone. The man was here only three years; when a better offer came along, he dumped us and jumped for it, com- mented Robert Martin. It ' s about time they got a woman in charge, stated Suzanne Thomas. The University has ranked as one of the lowest-paying institutions in the country. Fac ulty members opting for better pay have been leaving for years. Gee ' s resignation was nothing more — nothing less. How can WVU expect to keep its employees if it refuses to offer salaries competitive to other institutions? said Tom Neely. Frankly, I don ' t think the search for a new chief will be too drastic. However, the next time the officials appoint someone, they could try to look for someone who plans to stay a little longer than three years, com- mented Mark Watson.

Most of us aren ' t, but, because we can ' t be good at everything, it ' s comforting to know that we can reach into WVU ' s pool of experts and find one to meet our in- dividual academic needs. Student Services offered more than academic aid. It helps students make in- telligent career decisions, says Carolyn Zinn, Interim Assistant Dean of Arts and Sciences. Designed to offer freshman and transfer students an introduction to WVU, Orientation 1 gave students survival skills and a working knowledge of the University. Another helpful course, Psychology 191, honed the skills required for successful academic and time management. Some departments offered tutor services like the com- puter science consultant sta- tions, which gave in- dividualized aid to pro- grammers; the math department ' s tape center, which provided a cassette version of each chapter in lower-division classes; and the English depart- ment reading lab 1, which offered remedial courses in composition and reading. In addition to the University-run aid pro- grams, there were available tutors that advertised around the campus, in pamph- lets and in the Daily Ath- enaeum. For a small fee one could have convenience and assistance wrapped in the same package. Just remember: For every class, there is at least one expert and one novice. If you happen to be the expert, help someone; if you are the novice, seek assistance and become an expert. Bv Nellie Fowler IN THE READING LAB this foreign student brushes up on her English.

The Morgantown City Code states, The tax shall be levied upon the purchaser and added to and collected by the seller with the price of the admission. Originally introduced by a state code in 1937, the tax entered city codes in the ear- ly ' 50s. However, the state ' s at- torney included a clause making athletic events and other events sponsored by a college as part of this educa- tion program exempt. Thus, football games, plays and dance recitals performed for an audience and open to the public were exempt from taxation. Therein lies the problem. Practically nothing has been taxed. The city is receiving $14,000 a year from taxing public movie theatre tickets. But that is only a drop in the tiat con- sidering the $7 million budget. The city, which provides services to accommodate University functions, is not receiving any money from ticket sales. City roads are traveled by many non-residents during football season; however, their tickets are not subject to the Amusement Tax. Randy White, Morgan- town finance director, ad- mitted, Without WVU, Morgantown would not be as economically stable as it is. Although figures are unobtainable as to the exact amount of money the city receives from the University via the student consumer population, more could be collected if the tax were ad- ministered more efficiently. When you open school- sponsored events to the public, there is a potential source of additional money, White said. White ' s personal proposal would be to tax the public ' s general admission tickets for University-sponsored events. If there is any solution to the problem, it won ' t be ob- vious for some time.

Lips tensed; face color varied from red to white; and muscles strained. Lungs burst and ached for more air. The jogger silently screamed, Enough! Two miles yet to go- No pain, no gain; right? But there were ways other than running to stay fit. Peo- ple all over lifted weights; played tennis, basketball, frisbee, football, soccer, lacrosse; took aerobic classes; danced, swam, walked. . . . The possibilities were infinite. Some people joined health clubs such as Nautilus, Lin Ogata ' s, Body Works or Fred Wyant ' s Racquet and Health Club. For membership fees ranging from $50 to $120 a semester, students could at- tend exercise classes, work with free weights or Nautilus equipment, play racquetball, or watch televi- sion while jogging on a mini-trampoline or riding a stationary bike. Intramurals provided another organized form of exercise. Intense games of volleyball, football, rugby or lacrosse, for example, left players sweaty and drained. At any time of the day people could start up a game of basketball or find some- one to volley a tennis ball, throw a baseball or fly a frisbee. Yet the easiest way to stay in shape for some was to run. The nationwide jogging phenomenon hit campus, and hundreds of students pounded the pavements dai- ly. What some considered torture or insanity, running, led to a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment for others. After a grueling 45- minute run, one could face a chocolate sundae with a lot less guilt. Besides losing weight, there were other incentives to get people to work out. Ex- ercise relieved stress, lowered the heart rate and gave the body energy. Some people worked out solely for the physical benefits. With the aid of weights, muscles protruded, skin tigh tened up and bodies could become more evenly proportioned. With all these results, exer- cise proved worthwhile. Muscles and lungs may have complained, but, after a good workout, people thanked themselves for in- flicting the pain and the effort.

Almost 30,000 people walk through my doors per day. I am the center of action on the downtown campus and the ideal place to get the scoop on the nightly parties or scope for weekend dates — which is probably why I ' m so crowded! I am the Moun- tainlair. The ' Lair is the most popular spot at WVU to crash on the couch, to catch the morning soaps and to EAT. With an array of hot or cold lunches and munchies to choose from — the ' Lair shops attract breakfast-skippers and class-skippers alike to stop for a bite or a beer. If you ' re not in the mood for cafeteria meals or dorm food (which usually happens after about the second week of classes), the Mountainlair Bakery may be the next best thing to a care package from home. Its home-like goods include doughnuts, cookies, croissants and coffee. And, of course, fresh pepperoni rolls are always in demand — probably because they ' re a unique food to West Virginia. Many out-of-state students claim they ' ve never eaten them anywhere else. If you ' d just like a Coke or a candy bar to settle hunger pangs between classes, the line forms at the Sundries Shop. This single operation takes in about $140,000 in revenue per year; that ' s a lot of empty snack wrappers! The Sundries Shop carries everything from penny can- dy and soft drinks to pens and magazines, cigarettes and cough drops. The suc- cess of Sundries may result in the counter service opera- tion becoming a walk-in shoppette when the ' Lair undergoes expansion and renovation in 1985. The Ice Cream shop, located next to the ' Lair info desk, serves fresh ice cream from the WVU Dairy Farm. It is also popular for its supply of fresh popcorn sold by the bag. Just beyond the Art Gallery on the main level is the Fudge Foundry. It ' s the best place on campus to satisfy a sweet-tooth. The Foundry sells homemade fudge, candies as well as the all-time favorites: M Ms and gummy-bears, for example. Of course, on the ground level of the ' Lair is the famous Blue Tic Tavern, serving bottled and draft beer for those on liquid diets. Occasionally there is musical entertainment, but more often students enter- tain themselves in a game of quarter-bounce. The Mountainlair shops are operated to please the students (and their wallets) rather than to make a profit, says Marsha Swoger, assis- tant director for building services. By Diana Jo Cain WHO AM I?

The champion, Summit Hall, was crowned with vic- tories in the cheer, float, banner and E. Gordon Gee look-a-like competitions. The excitement and en- thusiasm experienced by all who were associated with Homecoming was to say the least — phenomenal. Aside from Homecoming, Summit Hall ' s social calen- dar was packed with fun. At- tendance at the first dorm - wide bash exceeded 100%. The Halloween Party was also regarded as one of the best parties ever hosted by Summit Hall. In addition, the great tradition for awesome tailgate parties was reinforced during football season. Summit provided the food, tunes and space; Sum- mit Hall residents provided the fun and excitement. Summit Hall not only of- fers the best social and recreational activities for WVU students, but the cor- nerstone of its success is Quality Accommodations and Service. You can select from three different room accom- modations to obtain the most comfortable and convenient room available. All rooms have wall to wall carpet, are fully furnished, have private baths in rooms or suites, cen- tral air conditioning, large closets and telephone hook- ups. Also, Summit Hall pro- vides a Luxury Service un- paralleled at WVU — In- Room Maid Service. Summit Hall is the only place in town where this service is pro- vided at no additional charge. Summit Hall ' s Food Ser- vice has distinguished itself at WVU. If you ' ve heard of Summit Hall, it is probably because you ' ve heard about the outstanding food. A staff of Moms do an excellent job of trying to combine quality food preparation with creative menu assort- ment and presentation. Every day, they provide one of Morgantown ' s most expansive salad bars, filled with fresh vegetables, homemade soups, lots of homebaked breads and desserts. At least four main entrees are served witr unlimited seconds, all yot can eat. The NAUTILUS EXER- CISE CENTER and COM PUTER DATA CENTEP highlights the three-phas renovation and refurbish ment for the interior and ex terior of Summit Hall. While others boast abou their weight rooms, Summi provides the ultimate ii modern body building anc fitness equipment. In addi Hon, forget about dragginj yourself across campus t Eiesland Hall, Armstrong Hall or Colson Hall for computer science assign ment because Summit ' s nev computer data center pro vides you access to the Wes Virginia Network. All this to Summit Hal residents is just an elevato away.

Community ADS 203 OW TO WIN AT MONOPOLY? Dq you have phone phobia? If you do, don ' t worry; you ' re not alone. Students have always had difficulties, and the break-up of AT T seemed to have complicated things even more. Those students living in dorms had a new option for long-distance billing in spring 1985. With the old system, the student in- dividually signed his room up for long-distance service and paid a set fee. The new system has definite advantages, said Lisa Schultz. You have your own secret code so you get charged for only those calls you make. A private dorm has prob- lems, however. Kristine Kopay, a junior in finance, spoke of the difficulty she had in getting phone service at Westchester Hall. I didn ' t have a roommate, so they put me with somebody I didn ' t know. She was a really nice girl, but the phone had been discon- nected because she had run up a $400 phone bill. She wanted me to get the phone in under my name, Kopay said. Just getting a phone, not to mention the trouble of getting it installed and func- tioning, presented enough of a problem for most people. If you didn ' t get your phone through the phone company, more problems may have arisen. Elizabeth Brookshire, who bought her phone at a deparment store, said, The phone just stopped working. We had to wait for calls; we couldn ' t call out. We went to see if it could be fixed, and it couldn ' t. The sophomore English major finally bought a phone from the phone company to guarantee service. Whether a student lived on campus, in a private dorm or in an apartment, the senti- ment seemed to be the same. As many problems as phones cause, they ' re a necessary part of a student ' s life.

A full-time student major- ing in finance, Robin Per- singer, was employed at the Holiday Inn as a hostess cashier. Because she worked 35 hours a week, leisure time was spent studying. When I ' m not at work, I ' m in my books, Persinger said.

Put it this way; I don ' t party in Sunnyside, she said. I don ' t socialize in the ' Lair. I ' m usually off in some corner cramming. A junior, Persinger has worked at the Holiday Inn since she was a freshman. Money earned helped to pay school expenses, she said. Another student who worked was advertising junior Betsy Reep, who worked at Altmeyer s Home Store in the Mountaineer Mall. Employed about 25 hours a week, she used her wages to pay bills and for spending money. Reep said she usually worked evenings but got home before 9:30 p.m. If I ' m not too tired, I study, she said. Working and going to school takes efficient time management, said senior Diedre Morgan, who is employed by Sterling Faucet Company. Morgan worked 40 hours a week in a split shift from 8 a.m. to noon and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.; she attended classes in between. Studying was done after work and on the weekends, Morgan said.

In the novel, which was originally titled 1948 to reflect the year it was writ- ten, Orwell tells of a future society that is filled with evil and despair. Most people prefer to com- pare the novel to the year 1984. Although a few of the predictions have come true, for the most part Orwell ' s book is far more drastic. The book exploits the horrors of a one-party government and of Communism. The leader of the party is Big Brother. Orwell ' s story originated the slogan Big Brother is watching you. Filled with action and suspense, the book possesses power and movement; it in- structs the reader about dif- ferent types of government. Orwell ' s book has inspired a wide line of items carrying the Big Brother motif. These continually remind us that the telespeaks and the thought police might be in store for the future. Fortunately, 1984 has passed and proved to be a year of prosperity rather ., , , xl _ NO SIGNS of Big Brother are here than a year of despair that as students disp f ay their freedom some feel Orwell predicted. of expression at the downtown By Natalie DeCarlo P Hs.

EVERYONE takes part in the post- Olympic celebrations. Morgan- towners wave flags during the Mon County Fair ' s Parade. A little spark. That ' s all it took. A little spark of en- thusiasm that ignited a great blaze of national pride and patriotism across the country. Relays of men, women and children passed the torch of the XXIII Olympic Games through hundreds of towns and cities by day and night from New York to Los Angeles, where it would signal the opening and clos- ing of the summer games. Patriotism, once con- sidered an embarrassing or unpopular emotion, gained a new meaning. Even before the competi- tion began, the blaze had started. Thousands of Americans lined their towns ' streets and highways to catch a glimpse of the run- ners continuing the long trek with the torch, the sym- bol of the spirit of competition. That symbol even passed through Morgantown on its way to the Los Angeles Col- iseum. Citizens crowding the streets experienced a tightening of the throat and misty eyes as the Olympic runner jogged up High Street to the roar of approval and encouragement. For two weeks in July and August that particular emo- tionalism ran high in the nation. American athletes, earning 83 gold medals, dominated the competition. All of America looked on. Pride in the American athletes ' success was obvious nationwide, but the credit belonged to Olympic organizer Peter Ueberroth, who was later named Time magazine ' s Man of the Year. For the athletes and the 2.5 billion television spectators — more than half the world ' s population — the festivities were a spectacular, inspirational reemergence of American pride. As the flame extinguished during the closing ceremonies, it signaled the end of 1984 ' s Olympic Games, but America ' s reawakened patriotism still lingered.

How many wings does a flea have? If these questions sound trivial, they should. They ' re from the biggest selling board game in America — Trivial Pursuit. Trivial Pursuit had an unusual beginning. On Dec. 15, 1979, Chris Haney and Scott Abbot sat down in a Montreal kitchen to drink beer and to play a game of Scrabble. After a brief, un- productive search for the board game, they decided the only thing to do was to invent their own game. In less than an hour Haney and Abbot had sketched out a pattern in the shape of a spoked wheel. Players would roll a die and move plastic pieces around the rim, or up the spokes as long as they could continue to correctly A FAVORITE PASTIME for many college students is playing Trivial Pursuit. answer questions in any of six categories (geography, history, entertainment, art and literature, sports and leisure or science and nature). Within a month they had set up their own company, Horn (Haney ' s nickname) Abbot, and named their game Trivial Pursuit. After persuading friends and relatives to contribute to a fund that would allow them to produce 1,200 games and to conduct a market test run, Haney and his brother John disappeared to Spain. There the two men worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week to compile 6,000 ques- tions for the game with the help of encyclopedias and reference books. By the end of November 1981, Horn Abbot Ltd. had completed a successful test run of 1,000 units in toy and book stores throughout Canada. And sales began to outplace the traditional front-running board game, Monopoly, 8 to 1. Soon after, word of the game ' s spectacular success reached the United States. Selchow Righter Co., which manufactures Scrab- ble and Parcheesi, felt that Trivial Pursuit would make a natural addition to their line of board games. In November 1982 an exclusive licensing agreement was signed to allow Selchow Righter Co., the oldest privately owned family game firm in the United States, to manufacture and to market Trivial Pursuit. The Selchow Righter Co. im- mediately made plans to in- troduce the game to the U.S. market at Toy Fair, February 1983, in New York City. Since then, Trivial Pursuit has become the best-selling board game in America. One million games were sold in 1983; 11 million were sold as of August 1984. Currently, the Selchow Righter Co. produces games at the rate of one every second — adding up to about 3 million per month. In addition to its premiere Genius edition, Trivial Pur- suit now manufactures four other ' editions — Silver Screen, All-Star Sports, Baby Boomer and Young Players. The Young Players ' edition was the first written by out- siders and then edited by Horn Abbot Ltd. The new writers were editors from a well-known Canadian children ' s publication, Owl Magazine. The genius edi- tion comprises at least 50 percent of production; the other editions take up the rest, depending on demand. Needless to say, Abbot and the Haney brothers are rich with a capital r. Retail sales of Trivial Pursuit total- led about $750 million through August 1984. However, in a Trivial Pursuit press release the creators said they don ' t attribute their success to the knowledge they had ob- tained in school. Some people have marvel- ed that Trivial Pursuit has sold at all. Advertising has been practically non- existent, and the game comes packaged in a plain blue box. Why, then, such popularity? Four reasons come to mind: 1. It ' s the first real adult board game to appeal to everyone. 2. It ' s a socially interactive party in a box. 3. People may be getting tired of the impersonal aspect of video games and are now interested in something a bit more human. 4. Back-to-basics is a large movement in the toy industry. Horn Abbot Ltd. is also lic ensing international markets for Trivial Pursuit. The game will be out in every conceivable language, each one adapted to its market with local and inter- national trivia. Countries in- cluded are France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Australia and England. South American and Asian countries will also have editions. In addition, Horn Abbot Ltd. has extended beyond marketing board games. The Trivial Pursuit motif now ap- pears on clothing, stationery, comic books and even housewares. So, it seems, the advent of Trivial Pursuit has turned out to be anything but! Oh, yes. The answers to the questions in the first paragraph are: an eyebrow, Sally, zero.

Today it houses the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism. Enrollment has grown from 184 in 1867 to 18,000 in 1984, and the faculty has ex- panded from 6 to more than 8,000. WVU ' s 104 buildings stand on 799 acres of land. Old Mountaineer Field was the site of all the Moun- taineer home football games from 1925 until when New Mountaineer Field opened. In 1983 WWVU, the cam- pus television station, became WNPB when it transferred to the control of the State Educational Broad- casting Authority. Having begun broadcasting in 1979, it ranked as the state ' s first public television station. U-92, the students ' radio station, beamed its first waves across the air in 1982. The Personal R apid Tran- sit System, a governmental experiment, provided students with sporadic transportation between cam- puses and something to com- plain about since 1979. It also has brought a new contest to Greek Week, the PRT Cram, involving different fraternities and sororities seeing how many members they can fit into one PRT car.

PRSSA brings students of many disciplines together. Many members are not public relations majors. PRSSA FIRST — Sylvia Carr. Kalhenne Smore, )ena Gaston, luenita |ohan SECOND — Bonnie Duffy.

WVU ' s pret- tiest ladies from many stu- dent organizations are pic- tured on jars, and passersby in the ' Lair cast their votes for the most attractive.

Since the Publication Board ' s green-light go ahead in August, the staff has learned much about people and life through the rising up-side downs of this student medium. Through thick and thin, triumphs and troubles, poverty and riches or en- thusiasm and burnout, the staff always came out fighting (sometimes with each other) but usually on top. In room 206 and 207 much action took place. From the first pica laid out to the last proof com- pleted, the work days and nights were packed with those special in-between memories. To be put in the not-to- be-forgotten list were: the mall booth bash, the car wash, the letter parties, Steph ' s staff parties, the window box and the milk drinking contests. Each staff member, a full-time student trying to be a full-time journalist, possessed unique qualities and specialties that made the book what it is. Standing beside at the helm with the checkbook was business manager Stephanie Jones. As a partner, financial advisor and a friend, she made our relationship work where many business-editorial teams had failed. Kicking in to help on production, Stephanie worked as an editor first and a business manager second. On call during deadlines, associate editor Carla Baker kept up a remarkable pace. Plagued with Mono in November, Carla still pulled through and, in some cases, led staff all-nighters. Putting in long, hard hours — even through the summer when the salary payment was completed and the yearbook was not, assistant editor Angie Dale stuck by the Mon- ticola until the end. Angie helped keep the summer press rolling daily. Cindi West, copy editor, amateur painter and design artist, did the work of 20 (complained for 40) but stuck behind the book forever. Cindi was respon- sible for all of the editor ' s ideas actually getting transformed from my Hieroglyphic scribbled notes to the fitting forms. In addition, Cindi took care of the office paint job, the window boxes and half of the ad sales. Transforming her home, family business and front yard into a copy decoding factory at a mo- ment ' s notice, Pam Yagle, proofs editor, with her electromagnetic eyes scanned the book character by character for mistakes, corrected them and quizzed me on the punctuation, grammar or spelling rule related to the corrections. Section editors Nellie Fowler, Becca Malone, Martina D ' Angelo, Mat- thew D. Richards, Steve Mullins and Tara Reinhart worked diligently to see that their sections met deadlines. Additional staff members who were in- valuable to this publica- tion included: Margot Bauer, Beth Rizzo, Kathy Paxton, Ellen Sargent, Cindy Troutman, Janice Bowman, Laura Fries, David Zicherman, Jena Gaston, Cindy Cooper, Jane Howlett and Sue Kuchinski. Giving the staff either an ear to talk to, a finan- cial lecture, production hints or a shoulder to cry on, Brentz Thompson was not only an advisor but also a friend. At times of despair, disappointment, joy or uncertainty, the first per- son I turned to was my mentor, personal advisor and friend, Alice Rowe. Whenever I called, she came running, listened and usually had the answers telling me why I was wrong. Thank God for AT T and circle dialing. The St. Albans, WV, an- nex of the Monticola, Ruth Ann, Bill and Owen Jones, put the Postmaster General to shame with the organization of their mass mailing assembly lines. Way above and beyond the bounds of the con- tract, Taylor Publishing representatives Ron Richardson and Doug Richardson acted as com- rades, agents, advisors and translators. Their office staff, Joanne Richardson and Mary Ellen Chittum, made sure my every pro- duction whim was satisfied on the spot. We owe a special thanks to our new Daily Athenaeum friends: Melanie Baker, Bonnie Loughry, Eric Maclure and Alan Waters. Providing confidence to overcome defeats and sup- port for my accomplish- ments, my parents Joanne and Robert Anderson pulled me through the year. Without them this book would not be a reality. Many have worked long and hard to combine this collection of historical facts. The staff hopes you are as pleased with the results as we are.

The book is Smyth bound, rounded and backed. The Monticola is printed on 80-pound enamel paper. At an approximate cost of $30,000, there were 1,000 1985 Monticolas printed. In the Campus Life sec- tion the staff utilized 20 and 100 percents of the four color pick-up colors. The Headline is 120 pt. Helvetica with two-point rules and Optima Italic type layered on top. In the Entertainment section the staff utilized a graphic design adapted from the 1984 Network Election Results. In the Academics sec- tion there are 16 pages of spot color (40 percent Process Yellow). The pages are designed to look like legal paper dog- eared. In the Groups Section 120 pt. Pioneer type was utilized for the primary headlines. The magazine, What ' s Up?, utilized two-point tools and Palatino headlines. The community section utilized Stymie type in the headlines. On the opening and the dividers the theme Ris- ing up-side down was il- lustrated by two pictures in the copy. The bottom picture was a mirrored version of the top. The divider and open- ing type was designed by Taylor Publishing Co. The Features ' screen is a piece of torn board made from an airbrushed negative. Group photos were taken by Mike Hall of Photographies; portraits were taken by Yearbook Associates, and all color was processed and printed by Robert Nicols of Bell Studio.

Usually exam week flies and underclassmen, expec- ting things to be the same in the fall, joyfully pack their boxes, bags and suit- cases for a hiatus from the U. Things, however, started taking a spin in April and took off in Mav. Some metamorphoses were in a positive direction while others were a step back. In April rumors of Presi- dent Gee ' s traveling to Boulder, Colo., shocked many. Gee admitted that Colorado had contacted him, and he said he would not make any decision until after graduation. Promptly after the May 20 com- mencement ceremony, Gee resigned. Appointed to fill a tem- porary slot until Gee ' s replacement is selected, Diane Reinhard, who took office on July 1, marked the history books as WVU ' s first woman president. Lower enrollment forced the Board of Regents and Admissions and Records to adopt a tuition freeze.

Campus renovations became a big issue. After a planned facelift of the Mountainlair was ap- propriated through student fees in the summer, con- struction was not scheduled til late fall. Yet the demolition-fated Old Mountaineer Field still stood in May despite its planned November destruction. After facing the dilemma to remain in the Atlantic 10 or to select another con- ference, the Board of Ad- visors and the athletic department voted against a switch. The U ' s. talk of a change did not hinder relations as three tournaments were scheduled in Morgan town. Taking athletic honors, Georgeanne Wells slam- dunked a ball, which marked the first time a woman had dunked a basketball in game action; the men ' s basketball team earned an underdog regular-season first place in the Atlantic 10, and the baseball team won the Atlantic 10 championship. Progression and digres- sion seemed to go hand-in- hand with most steps taken. While WVU con- sidered metamorphosis, pros and cons of up-side downs consistently landed right-side up.
