Governor Arch Moore, alum- n a e and founder of Mountaineer Week, il- lustrates his undying school spirit as he boldly cheers on the blue and gold. OPENING -1 •I.p.pP D r-soi August rolled around and Morgan- town began to prepare for another year of fun and challenges with West Virginia University. Changes were imminent. The first woman ever to hold the office of WVU president, Diane Reinhardt, took command. Neil Bucklew, a Morgantown native, was elected to take over the job full time, beginning in March. Plans were in the works to tear down old Mountaineer field and to erect a new Business and Economics college in its place. The new Erikkson Alumni Center began construction, which was slated to be finished in time for ' 86 football. Dadisman hall was partially closed over the sum- mer for renovations and the students who moved into the open wing found themselves having to walk to Boreman for meals. Freshman enrollment dropped, but more upperclassmen chose to reside in University dorms. Apartment life in Morgantown seemed better, due to a crackdown on the housing code by city officials. All through the summer the Mountaineer football team practiced and fans around the state prepared for another winning season. No bowl bids were made because of a few heartbreaking losses. Never- theless, it was an exciting season. Tuition rates remained stationary, making students and their parents happy, although available grants and financial aid were severely cut. The chips were falling, and the year was about to start.

Morgantown threw the biggest birthday party in history of the city for its 200th birthday. Fireworks, a street fair and many otjier activities dominated the bicentennial week, with I students taking part in the festivities. Homecoming Week came next, it was a bustle of activity with the culmination being a winning football game. Moun- taineer Week, too, went off without a hitch, slightly wet, but exciting. The Coliseum, stage for several show-stopping events, threw open its doors to superstar Tina Turner and earlier in the year Alabama performed in front of a packed house. The CAC was the site of several headlining shows and the Mountainlair was host to Tip O ' Neill, a debate between Yippie Abby Hoffman and Yuppie Jerry Rubin, among others. As the changes were implemented and students took a closer look at the University, they could see a precise and definite chip off the old block.

They partied in a true Mountaineer style — something one can only find in Morgantown. Fraternities and sororities played a big part in the campus ' s social scene, with one of the biggest activities being rush itself. Greeks also found time to party during Greek Week. Students who didn ' t go Greek formally, often went Greek during the weekend frat bashes. A good time was had by all. The University ' s social and academic life — at times it could be considered one big block party. Hosting a citywide block party, residents gather on High Street to celebrate Morgan- town ' s 200th birthday. Campus Life DIVIDER 7 izzling Summer indents Face the Heat Summer gave students a new identity. Summer — three months of time-off — possessed numerous facets from basking in the sun, sail- ing in the Carribean, lounging in the country and shopping in the city to frying in a fast food chain, life guarding at a pool or studying in the library. After nine months of reading, writing and arithmetic, groups of students took off for a few carefree months of rest and relaxation. Some went home; some flocked to the beaches and others fled to the big cities. New York, Myrtle Beach, California and Florida were popular destinations. Another portion of the campus took on the fast-pace hectics of the workforce. Pro- gressing from the unemploy- ment lines to working behind counters, students usually Who says you need snow fo ride a ski lift?

Tax Office gave me the opportunity to relate with people, which broadened my horizons. Although I was a bit ap- prehensive to leave Morgan- town for the whole summer, I loved my job and before I knew it was time for school to start, said Jill Willmonth, foreign language junior.

Va. sophomore Cindi West. Attending classes to boost the GPA and working to boost the checkbook forced students to budget their time — to fulfill their commitments. After nine months of classes without working, ad- justing to a 30-hour work week plus the academic demands were tedious, said Tammy Tucker, a pre- education major. To keep me rolling through the sum- mer, I worked in a hardware store, spent time at the beach and took nine hours of classes. I ' m using the fall semester as a relaxation period, said New Jersey junior Jan Howlett.

With a theme such as this, the various sororities and fraternities along with Sum- mit Hall, the Outings Club, the Monticola, dental hygiene organization, and SADHA had the ability to create a memorable homecoming. The creative floats used for the parade and the en- thusiasm put into the events proved that the students real- ly were proud of their heritage and accomplishments. The festivities that were scheduled for the week in- cluded a scavenger hunt, which took place Monday, a banner contest at Lakeview Sheraton on Tuesday, a spirit rally in the Mountainlair ballrooms on Wednesday. Thursday was the day for the annual homecoming parade down High Street and Friday consisted of a pep rally at the Natatorium parking lot. Although all the organiza- tions involved put forth the effort to make such a suc- cessful homecoming the overall winners of the events were Sig Eps and Alphi Zi, with Delta Delta Delta and TKE in second place. Finally, on Saturday, Oct. 5, the football game against Virginia Tech took place with a victorious outcome for the Mountaineers. One of the oldest and favorite traditions, next to the game is the crowning of Miss Mountaineer. This year the name announced over the loud speaker was Kim Ferry ' s who was sponsored by Pier- pont and American Society of Personnel Administrators.

Oct. 17 marked the 200th anniversary of the Virginia State Legislature ' s creation of Morgan ' s town, better known today as Morgantown. 1985 was the bicentennial of Morgantown and it culminated on Oct. 18 with the Celebration Fair held on High Street. Events kicked off at 10 a.m. when High Street was closed to traffic and end- ed at 8 p.m. with a grand finale of fireworks, which were shot over the Monogahela River. Morgantown ' s Day to Remember was packed with games, demonstrations, clowns, square dancing, pup- pet shows, a parade, a concert by the U.S. Air Force Concert Band and much more fun stuff. Eighty-six sidewalk booths set up on High Street to pro- duce a street fair type at- mosphere. Brad Adkins, chairman of the Celebration Fair Committee said, We planned the Celebration Fair to be geared toward the family. Jennifer Wilson, general studies sophomore, is one student who attended the day long a ctivities said, It was fun — I got a T-shirt and balloons and just spent the day watching the people. I Morgantown was founded by Colonel Zacquill Morgan shortly after the Revolu- tionary War. It has housed WVU for more than 100 . years.

Morgantown ' s High Street is crowded with people helping to celebrate the bicentennial Campus Life BIRTHDAY Holidays — a Chance to Dump the Books and Go Holiday (hoi e da) — a day of freedom from labor often one set aside by law to celebrate some event. This definition held true for many University students who needed to break from their studies. The University calendar provided students with time off for Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Also, Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday and President ' s Day were observed with time off from classes. Labor Day break gave students an opportunity to relax and try to get settled in to the new semester. It also provided a time for picnics and other activities. Thanksgiving break brought to an end 12 con- secutive weeks without any time off. It was a much needed rest for students weary of 12 weeks worth of studying. Christmas vacation was welcomed by students, who had just finished their first semester exams After finals week, I really need- ' ed the Christmas break, I was in desperate need of some sleep, stated Tracey Sanders, freshman. Isolated days off such as Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday and President ' s Day gave students the opportun ity to participate in activities they might otherwise not have gotten the chance to do. Freshman Sam Bloom took advantage of the King ' s birthday recess to go ice skating. We had a day off and we had nothing else to do so a bunch of my friends and I decided to go down to the ice rink, Sam said of the day off, which fell in the first week of the second semester. Easter break consisted of a long, 3-day weekend. Many students chose to stay at the U instead of making the trip home. The chance to take a day of freedom from labor helped students make it through the long semesters.

Tuesday night: After that Physics test I deserve to eat out. A hot dog and potato logs from Dairy Mart sound great. Wednesday night: Mario ' s has a special tonight. A large pizza for the price of a medium. If I ' m saving money then how can 1 refuse that? Thursday night: I better grab something to eat before quarter beer night at Izzy ' s. A big mac and large fries from McDonald ' s would probably do the job. Friday night: Thank God It ' s Friday! And to celebrate I ' m going to Wings Ole ' and eat a burrito and celery with blue cheese. Saturday night: After all the partying Friday night, I ' m too lazy to cook anything. I guess the easiest thing to do would be to stop by Hardee ' s for a chicken sandwich and fries. Sunday night: I can ' t believe it! 1 had $50 in my bank account at the beginn- ing of the week and now this Cash Stream is trying to tell me I ' m out of money! What will I eat? I ' m going to have to eat macaroni and cheese from my own kitchen. How will I survive?

Like past years. Mountaineer Week ' 85 provided students, members of the community, and other participants with a celebration of the state ' s heritage and culture. Mountaineer Week kicked off on Nov. 3 with the Mountaineer Week Jamboree, featuring the Fiddlers Contest and State Music Festival. Music was provided by The Kiplingers, a bluegrass band. Cabin sales in front of the Mountainlair began on Nov. 4. Items for sale included mugs, tee-shirts and refreshments. As in past years, the American Society of Personnel Administrators sold funnel cakes. About 50 West Virginia craftsmen attended the Arts and Craft Festival, exhibiting such crafts as pottery, stained glass, jewelry, woodcrafts and quilted items. The Quilt Show in Elizabeth Moore Hall included demonstrations by the Campus Quilting CluD. The Country Vittles Buffet and Country State were held in the Mountainlair beginning Nov. 6. Dishes at the buffet included country style fried ham, turkey a la drummond ancl pinto beans and ham, to name a few. November 7 was highlighted by the annual Student Music Festival in the Sunken Garden. Games and competitions occurred throughout the week, however rain on Nov. 4 and Nov. 5 caused a number of cancellations. Scheduled events included the ROTC obstacle course, sack race, scavenger hunt, nanner contest tug-of-war, egg toss, three legged race, wheelbarrow race, ice cream eating contest, arm wrestling competition and PRT cram. A new activity of Mountaineer Week was a food drive titled Food Drive ' 85. Mountaineer Week concluded on Saturday, Nov. 9 with the football game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. WVU emerged victorious. Halftime activities included the crowning of Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer ana the naming of Governor Arch Moore Jr. as Most Loyal Mountaineer and Charles Jim Compton as Most Loyal West Virginia. | Mountaineer Week is sponsored by the WVU Student Foundation. I Heading the Mountaineer Week Steering Committee were Monica Gergely, Mountaineer Week Coordinator; Kathy Johnston, Arts and Crafts Coordinator; Kelly Parrish, General Programs Coordinator; and Kim Ross, Culture and Heritage Coordinator. By Laura Chiodo ailgates and Togas he University Party Scene Mountaineer students created their own way of partying. Whether it is the three kegger on fraternity row, a toga party in Sunnyside, or a barbecue and beverage picnic on the back bumper of a car, no one could match the style of a Mountaineer. Students prided themselves on keeping fit by rolling barrels of brew in and out of party sites. This sport was ignited by a favorite among the students, the beer blast. Keg parties are the best part Dancing to Shout from the Animal House Soundtrack is a par- ty favorite for John Fulton, Dave Gorman, Bill Lucas, Mike McGhee and Mary Sonda. of my day, commented freshman Heather Skidmore. Most involve several ounces of beer with masses of people around them. Some students en- joyed creating different ways of carrying out the social events. One involved 22 kegs and 11 houses in a row. This proves that when a student puts his mind to something it works. More and more parties have initiated the idea. A recreation of the toga theme in the popular movie Animal House reigned as the most cheered theme on campus. This topper required every guest to wear a bedsheet wrapped around his body like the ancient Romans. Anyone caught with cloths underneath is shown the door, commented an unidentified goer. After the social event, the celebraters, still dressed in their togas frolic through the streets while they chant. Toga! Toga! Toga! Football season means two things: winning the game and tailgating. The tailgate party could be held outside a favorite holiday trailer or just on the back bumper of a Volkswagen. These get togethers consisted of every homemade dish available and a wide assortment of favorite beverages. Freshman Sam Bloom said, The tailgate is sort of the appetizer before the game. No matter what changes may come upon the school in the next few years, one aspect will never change; parties will still be going strong in the Mountaineer way.

Along the way we heard from Mr. Mister, Alabama, Sawyer Brown, B. ]. Thomas, Hank Williams, Jr., The Charlie Daniels Band and, at the CAC, Dizzie Gillespie. It was, with a few exceptions, a real kickin ' country year at the Coliseum. Alabama kicked off the con- cert year in October, providing entertainment for the alumni- packed homecoming crowd. It was Alabama ' s second ap- pearance in two years, and they once again proved their talent. Then came the big one. On her Private Dancer US Tour, Tina Turner made a stop in Morgantown, with special guests Mr. Mister along. This group, who provided the open- ing act, had the number one song in the US at the time of the concert. They also sang a brand-new song for the cheering crowd which went on to become as big of hit — Kyrie. Although it was a quite loud show, the fans were not disap- pointed at all. And then came the lady. Miss Tina Turner sold out the Col- iseum and she was ready. She was full of energy and that energy became contagious; the crowds were on their feet from the minute she entered. With her upbeat, danceable songs. Miss Turner electrified the audience. Comments such as I don ' t know where she gets her energ y, and Doesn ' t she ever get tired could be heard coming from the audience. A large screen above Miss Turner showed different clips throughout the concert, such as scenes from her movie Mad Max. Also, behind the stage scenes were shown. It was a show which everyone enjoyed. The second semester rolled around and on March 2, Hank Williams Jr. appeared at the Col- iseum for his first ever Morgan- town concert. He was joined by the Charlie Daniels Band. The country fans from around the state were once again delighted and given a show to remember. Scarcely a month later, Mr. Morgantown himself, Kenny Rogers made a Morgantown concert appearance. Accom- panied by B. J. Thomas and the new group Sawyer Brown, Ken- ny proved that audiences never tire of his music. With about a half-capacity crowd on hand, he sang an array of his older songs, a couple off his latest album and provided the audience with a chance to hear We Are The World live. Rogers also pushed for the 1986 equivalent of We Are The World, a project called Hands Across America. Rogers, whose voice was not quite as boisterous as in previous shows, due to throat surgery, closed out the concert year. It was a year filled with complaints by students, they wanted a better variety of talent. Even though everyone wasn ' t happy, it was a year in which an enormous amount of talent was brought to Morgantown. by: Mary Jane Hawthorne 34 yrfje, , ' . •, 35 y I Great students build great r I Universities. This was a truism in Morgantown, students c ame through every time they were called upon. Students made up the athletic teams, campus groups, the frater- nities and sororities, and the Student Ad- ministration, but best of all, were the Mountaineers. University students helped rebuild the state after the November flooding; coming through with food and clothing, moral support, but most of all, time and hard work to help clean up West Virginia. The block was chipped upon as enrollment dropped, more upperclassmen stayed in Univer- sity run dorms taking the place of freshmen absent. Individually, Westchester Carlyle students almost built themselves a new record; they leapfrogged their way to the Pitt football game. Foreign students found homes in Morgan- town, trying to build lives in the United States. Jayne Armstrong and Alan Richardson topped the block; they became the third woman student body president and first black vice presidents. Football player Brian Joswiak could well be considered a building block for the University ' s fame and recognition. He became an ail- American player and made an appearance on a Bob Hope special. As the chips fell, it became more and more evident that the University ' s future building blocks were contingent on the individual ac- complishments of today ' s students. i i: ' ' :?? - Sk.:..:: :. ■? 1 . y i :. - ' DIVIDER MIMIMUlli l i ill(Ul.. mmr, III 7, - If I fi%ft% 1 1 1 ' MfffiiMMiMiM nillL MffffMMlM li f ,,,l ' ' liiimnlUmr i •- • r J.- ,-tj ' itiniiiiiitiitM «ll lllllll«««tlll MllltllMiMKHV H i.

Putting together a resume, scheduling inter- views, making contacts, and narrowing down pro- spective opportunities comes to the culmination when a job is found and secured. The first step for most, however, is selecting a geographic area in which to setde. Then the student utilizes want ads, employ- ment agencies, school placement ser ' ices and even friends for the final selection process. Career Services specializes in assisting soon to be grads and in- terested summer interns in the job hunt with resume writing sessions, interview sessions and tip off sessions. Interested businesses and corporations frequent- ly contact students via the career services center to set up interviews. At this time most search out all family, friends and professional contacts made through the years to find the appropriate job. After an enormous amount of patience, per- sistence and hard work most after graduation com- bine the excitement of a degree with the security of an employment commitment.

Who knows you best in the whole world? Your I mother? Your boy or girl friend? Your best friend from high school? More than likely, no. It is your roommate, or roommates as the case may be. They saw you at your worst. From when you first woke up in the morning to the midst of a week-long finals cram session. They saw you in the middle of the night when you weren ' t feeLng so well. Then again, they saw you at your best too, when you just found out that you passed chemistry, when you were all dressed up for a big date or maybe when you just felt good. The ideal roommate was one who shared your trials and tribulations. They laughed, sighed and cried with you, shared the good and the bad, and were perfectly considerate at all times. Unfortunately, not all roommates were ideal. And, unfortunately, you never knew if you had picked an ideal roommate until you began living with them — the old saying, You don ' t know someone until you live with them, was very true. My first roommate was the hardest person in the world to live with, said a PE major. But now that we no longer live together, we are best friends. I ' m just glad the fights we had when we lived together didn ' t ruin our friendship. Some roommates did become close and could be called best friends. My roommate is my best friend, said one jour- nalism sophomore. We do fight and sometimes she gets on my nerves, but I don ' t know what I ' d do without her. I think the secret is spending time together but spending time apart too. Many students, after their first year (when WVU picked your roommate) opted to live alone. Jour- nalism junior Lori Jancart took that option her sophomore year. I lived in a single room in Arnold Hall, she said. That way I was around a lot of peo- ple but I didn ' t have to deal with one single room- mate. Students also found apartments by themselves, for many reasons. One stu- dent commented that he couldn ' t study effectively unless he was totally alone and another said that he had lots of friends, but none that he wanted to live with. Chris Pittman, a business sophomore, recalled: When my room- mate and I first decided to live together, her younger sister sent me a sympathy card ... it made me wonder! By: Mary Jane Hawthorne Album ROOMMATES 49 For Whom the Bell Tolls The clock reads mid- night so you put away your books, jump into your WVU tee-shirt, and craw! into your warm comfor- table bed for a nice, long sleep. But, wait, what is that blaring horn out in the hall? Groaning, you fall out of bed, put on your shoes and stumble down eight flights of stairs because you ' re not allowed to use the elevator during fire drills. You, along with everyone else in the dorm, stand in the parking lot and sleepily watch the fire trucks come and the firemen go through their routine checks. All you can think of is your warm bed inside and you anxiously await the word to go back in. This was a familiar sight on campus. Fire drills were necessary but annoying. Especially when they went off at 2 a.m. and then con- tinue to go off every ten minutes because of a short in the system. What was so bad is that they went off at the worst possible times, said freshman Lisa Koehler. Sometimes they happen- ed during dinner when the cafeteria is full of people. Many of the students decided to take their din- ner outside rather than risk losing it in the scramble. Fire drills allowed you to see your dormmates at their worst. It was also a chance to catch up on all the dorm gossip. Once you have lived in a dorm for a while, you can almost predict when the alarm is likely to go off. The drills seem most likely to happen on weekends and seldom happen in the middle of the afternoon. The chances are, it will be after midnight. For all their bad points, fire drills do serve to break up the routine of a stu- dent ' s days, and nights in the dorm. Freshman Alan Dye said, After a couple of hours of studying history, the fire drill was, at least, a change. by: Cindy Troutman Patrick Wlliam MIlby Mary E Miley Carolyn Kaye Miller Chns Miller Dehra Miller Paul Thomas Miller Ellen Minton Timothy J Moore Brian Moulton David Todd Mullens Tamira A Mumy Michael 1 Munodawafa Julie Lynn Musgrave Melody Nesselrodt Mark Nesser Steve Nicewonder Michael K Nichol Cheryl Nicholas Calvin D Nicodemus Andrea Nowowiejski Amy Renee Nutter Christine Gates Lori Kathleen Ogburn Patrick Russel Ogrady John D Oliver Kyoko Ono Robert A Opst Gerald WOrrlr Linda Ours Joseph ) Pagendarm Album 50 FIRE DRILLS Melanie Panetta Ronald Panko Marie Athena Papas E.

Where did the weekend — that appeared as an eternity on Friday — disappear to? The dreaded Monday morning came all too quickly. At some time on Sunday evening, most people were overcome by the Sunday night blues which evolved into the Monday morning, post- weekend, depression. Consider the academic week — Monday through Friday, a mere 120 hours, five days. But, they were easily the worst of the week. Most students got through by employing one common technique: the countdown. Everyone uses one to some extent, and the variations are limitless. For every countdown, there was a counter: every student retains an in- dividual style, ranging from basic to complex. There are days remaining in the week, number of classes until the end of the week and people who literally count the hours until weekend departure or arrival times and the unof- ficial TGIF commencement hour. What are they counting toward? The rewards for successfully getting through the week: taking road trips, enter- taining and or visiting boyfriends and girlfriends. having parties, going to bars, GIFing, visiting the folks and sleeping. Generally, there was a compromise. Some did homework and then went out. Some went out and then did homework. Some just did homework. Some just went out. Then, there were those who studied by day and socialized by night — every night. These students mastered the who, what and where ' s of the local establishments and their respective night- ly drink specials. These nightly outings were sacred. The week ' s events became ritual. Yet, there were others. Others so disciplined in their studies that their schoolwork demanded a daily, strictly adhered to regiment that kept them preoccupied. They didn ' t have time to worry about how many days until the weekend. Often, for them, the weekend, a two-day trip to the library, was a direct extension of the school week. The countdowns were better understood as get- ting through the semester. Mondays were inevitable. Then again, so were Fridays. It was a vicious cycle, by: Mary Beth McKee i i Album 52 COUNTDOWN Alicia Rahi Hilmi Bin Ramli Gregory Lee Ramsey Suzanne Ravoti Roberta Redd Roney Reid Walter Reiter Daphine Lea Rhodes Rhonda Rhodes Anthony Paul Ricciuti Ann Richardson Steve Richardson Kristine Rieger James V Rizzo Ir, Karen Roberts Charolette R Robinson Renee Roseik Thomas E Rosen Bryan J Ross Kimberty Ross Mark A Roth Heidi 1 Ruckle Suzanne Ruckman Tracy Lynne Ruddle Kim Rudisill Andrew D Ruterbories Thomas M Ruth David Rymers Noriko Sakai Debra K Salamy Glenn E Sancewich Ellen Sargent Akiko Sato Diana F, Sayre Sarah Scarborough Glenn Schaefer Matthew Thomas Schafer Nicholas Scheibelhood Craig Schron Todd A Schuyler Dennis M Seamen Janet Sedlak ' ' ;- Lynn A Selway A.

The first step is a visit with your academic ad- viser. According to school of Journalism professor Patricia Findley, Being counseled by your academic adviser remains an important facet of graduation preparation because one needs to ascertain his academic re- quirements prior to select- ing appropriate courses for the following year. Most schools require a final meeting and check off point with the dean. This is where one gets the definite go ahead for graduation. A $20 fee is assessed to seniors to cover the school ' s expenses. Order- ing announcements, caps and gowns proves to be the most exciting time of the graduation countdown as one anticipates and can finally recognize the final steps of the road.

You walked ten more feet, climbed ten more steps. You made it to the Lair, climbed around the people sitting on the steps, went out the other side, climbed the steps to the plaza and then climbed the hill to get home. Sound like a typical day in the life of a student? Walking in Morgantown was one of the things no one could ever get enough of. If you: lived in a dorm, belonged to a fraternity, had a class in Armstrong or any other numerous halls, or if you ever visited Sun- nyside you knew what the steps were like. Between Armstrong and Martin Halls there are over 100 steps. Between Arm- strong and the Lair there are over 100 steps. Most people, after a week into the semester notice grow- ing muscles in their thighs and calves, not an unpleasant feeling, but one they could live without if it meant walking a little less. After hiking around cam- pus all day, who had the energy to study at night? 1 was going to take a gym class this semester, said education student Jodi Michaels. But instead I just walk to class instead of drive. The stairs in the ' loop ' equal about ten potato chips. At least it seems like it!! Another student offered an alternative: If they had been smart, they would have put a subway in to take us from class to class, said one admittedly lazy junior. An obstacle which is in- directly caused by the steps around campus was the people that sat on them between classes. Instead of concentrating on walking you had to concentrate on climbing over the bodies. If it ' s nice outside I always leave for class about half an hour early, said freshman Anita Baft. I do it so I can sit on the steps with my friends. And so I can make new friends. The ultimate complaint about walking in Morgan- town involved ever- popular Sunnyside. Ever try to walk downtown from Sunnyside after several hours of heavy du- ty drinking? The Loop stairs got you every time. When I ' m drunk, said one Journalism sopho- more, If I ' m coherent enough to know what I ' m doing, I walk down and around the ' loop ' . I don ' t even try the stairs.

Approx- imately 89 percent of 140 people surveyed through a man-on-the-street research project completed by Mon- ticola reporters confessed to some risky business. In addition most of the risktakers responded that they would do it again. Sure, I take them. Just last week, I got a speeding ticket for driving 75 mph. But this wasn ' t the usual traffic violation. It was my third offense in three mon- ths. Now I have nine points on my license, and I get to take a defensive driving course, said Jamestown, N.Y. junior Carylyn Elf. The sad thing is that after I get rid of some of these points, I will eventually do it again. Academic risks from completing an assignment to blowing off a test ap- peared in a majority of the responses. Senior Asra Nomani said, Everyone should take risks. She is taking one now by applying for an internship at the Washington Post. I hope this risk will benefit me. I would definitely do it again. Last week without reading, studying or attending class, I took a History 52 exam. I got an 80, said Clarksburg, W. Va. sophomore Lisa Siminoch. If you said that you had not taken any risks, think again. Simple daily tasks like getting in a car and getting out of bed and reading this story are risks. You do not have to be a dive bomber or a Kamikaze pilot to take a risk. It ' s just another part of life. By Arika L. Anderson T Elizabeth A.

During the 85-86 school year academic standards rose as did en- trance requirements, blocking the path of those students wanting an easy ride. Once enrolled, more things were demanded of students; athletes especially found stricter re- quirements attached to their scholarships. A new President took control of the Universi- ty, replacing Interim President Diane Reinhard. Neil Bucklew, a Morgantown native and WVU graduate blocked out the other contenders to become President. Physical changes on campus were few, but plans were great. A new College of Business and Economics was to be erected in the place of the still-to-be torn down Old Mountaineer Field. Renovations and expansions were also scheduled to take place in the Mountainlair. Getting plans off the block got the University a new Alumni Center and a new Medical Center. For the second year in a row, classes were cancelled because of snow, giving students a chance to relieve their mental block. Although these blocks eventually returned and appeared frequently, students always got the best of them. Academics y Caria Baker Academics DIVIDER 63 o ff to College n Your Own for the First Time Many freshmen aren ' t ready to start going to school when the year starts. I didn ' t think about classes, said one on the first day of school. One bonus which prevails is the freedom that could not be enjoyed while living at home with Mom and Dad. It isn ' t hard to find a party to go to or to find something besides studying to do. Many first-year college students often find it hard, if not impossible, to resist the temptation to party hardy. Veteran students, however, know the importance of evenly distributing their time between studying and partying. Wisdom comes from that great teacher — experience. For example, they ' ve already experienced the shock of the first semester college grades — an experience that teaches many freshmen a lesson they will not forget. One less exciting aspect included with this new-found freedom is financial responsibility. Finances are one of the biggest restraints on freshman partying. As a veteran campus bus driver pointed out, the first slowdown in partying happens when the kids run out of money. The second is when they get their grades. While for many freshmen, college may not be a radical transformation from high school, the freedom associated with living away from home is. The ac- complishments achieved and the mistakes made are all a part of college life.

Academics 66 RESUMES icket to Success ake Time for the Extras Did you ever wonder why a student would write articles for the Daily Athenaeum, do layouts for the Mon- ticola, broadcast five hours a week on U-92 or have a 10 hour a week intern- ship in adition to their 15 hours of classes? Many students learned from their first weeks of school that in-class instruction was not always enough to obtain the job they desired. Without a resume full of extra-curricular activities relating to their field of study their name would not mean anything more than the next per- son ' s in the eyes of an employer. Employers look for well-rounded peo- ple, not bookworms. My grades are OK, but I think it ' s the things I did out of class, like volunteer work, that will help me get a job in physical therapy, said sophomore Heidi Forrest. Organizations gave students the hands-on experience they could not always find in the classroom. By the time 1 graduate from WVU, I think I will have built up my resume enough to get a good job, explained sophomore Carrie Webster. Resumes provided employees the in- formation they needed to select ex- perienced students for jobs. Obviously, resumes were extremely important to students, they were the keys to their future. I take every opportunity to add to my resume, sophomore Don Sudusky com- mented. I ' ve been told that experience is what counts when applying for a job.

Ul photos by Sean Academics RESUMES 67 Is there life after death In the olden days there was what the faculty called a dead week. This was the week before finals in which no tests were to be given. As most people could tell you, this no longer applied. Because semesters got shorter and shorter, this luxury was no longer given to students. Before exams there might be what you would call a dead week-end! Then what did students dread the most? Homework? No. Papers? No. Tests? No. Finals week? Yes! It was the cumulation of it all. All assignments must be in, no more chances for ex tra credit points, and it was time to start dreaming up explanations for Mom and Dad. What went on most during this dreaded week? That ' s right, cramming. Cramming is what those students who didn ' t exactly keep up with their studying did. This, basically, included everyone. The absolute worst time for cramming was right before a final. When did everyone cram? Yes, right before finals. Cramming during this time meant trying to learn fifteen weeks worth of information in one, two, or if you were lucky, three nights. For the lucky ones, it paid off. And for the others, luckily students were allowed to take courses over. After the cramming is done and the tests are taken, what happens? Usually one of two things. You ' ve pulled out all your hair (How could anyone put the Revolutionary War before the Civil War?) or you went crazy ( I ' ve never drank so much so fast in my entire life. ) So where does this lead us?

More than one student glances at his watch, while desperately wishing the class were over. Hard classes — everyone endured them. In fact, everyone probably lived through several of them. As fate ruled, classes would naturally get harder in the future. Students found problems in naming the hardest class of their college career. Fortunately many people laugh about those classes now. Sy Janice Bowman Pre-business sophomore Gina Dove described Geology 1 and 2 in a simple phrase: the rocks were too hard. Math received low marks from students.

That ' s what I call a mental block! Most any student who attempted anything that involved remembering, achieved the opposite by forgetting. Things get all mixed up and don ' t come out in a clear thought, sophomore Amy Vaughan explained. Everyone can recall the manv times when the answer was right on the tip of their tongue, but it just wouldn ' t surface. Do you remember the times you went to take a test on material that you have studied for days? You prided yourself on mastering all the right answers. But when you picked up your pen, something suddenly happened — the answers vanished! The dreaded strike of the mental block. I get mental blocks on tests because 1 get so nervous, sophomore Kathy Pax- ton commented. I usually just set there until I think of the answer because it usually comes to me. Of course, mental blocks always oc- curred at the worst possible time. When I ' m under the most strain is when I get them. Whenever I need the information the most I forget it, sophomore Charlie Porrett added. Mental blocks did not necessarily hap- pen just while taking tests or doing other school work. Derek Christian, a starting football player, said that he suffered mental bl ocks while on the field. The way to avoid mental blocks is to concentrate and ignore everything ex- cept the people on the field and the plays, Christian said. With thousands of people at the Mountaineer field watching from the stands, the inevitable mental block near- ly always surfaced. Junior band member, Kelly Dorsey, explained her first knowledge loss on the football field. It was the first time I was on the field and I couldn ' t feel my feet because I was so nervous.

Academics OVERCOMING MENTAL BLOCKS 75 Build the Grades Beyond Tests and Quizzes Did you ever feel like telling a teacher you needed more time (maybe a year or two). The average student need not feel so bad — think of the poor student who besides having homework, extracur- ricular activities and a job, had a project looming over his head. It may have been a one time thing that a whole semester was devoted to or it may have been a weekly deal, where there were lots of projects to do. Journalism 117, Introduction to Broad- casting, had a unique project. They had to do a 60-second taped newscast or commercial. It ' s good practice. said pre-journalism sophomore Tina Carenci. We can do whatever we want. Another journalism class, 114 had advertising layouts due every week. This too was considered practice. Engineering senior Steve Hart described the senior engineering project as something everyone must do ... to prove you have obtained some knowledge. The project was eventually presented to the engineering department and if it was assigned a passing grade, the student graduated. Agricultural Mechanics 260 has a similar project — they designed a piece of machinery. It ' s sort of a lab grade, said business senior Andy Rock. We have to present it to the teacher when we ' re done. Agricultural mechanics is a farm machinery class. An elective project that came up this year in the speech department was for Speech 194. It gave one hour of credit to the participants. Pre-business sophomore Paula Henzmen was one of these people. We had to rate taped clips of students doing speeches on eye con- tact and enuciation and things like that. How did these students manage to fit all these extras into their schedules?

However, it wasn ' t too hard to find students who enjoyed at least some of their classes. Most students seemed to enjoy at least one of their classes a great deal. Sound hard to believe? Not so. Most students, no matter what their major, had one class they considered their favorite. Robin Seagriff, an elemen- tary education senior, chose CDFS 216, a child development course, as her favorite class. It ' s one of the few classes that gave me the freedom to choose my own teaching methods, she explained. Brian Byers, a junior in finance, en- joyed his Speech 80 class, a course on mass media. 1 liked learning about the various interactiDns of society, he said. Some students liked certain classes because cf the professor. Cindy Court- ney, a junior ' n nursing, enjoyed her Anatomy Idl class. My professor was good and the lectures were interesting. Also, the lab went along with the lecture and clarified the subject matter, she said. Another student, Leslie Courtney, liked Economics 125, business statistics, the most. The professor was really in- terested in the students succeeding in class. After solving the problems, I felt I had really learned something, she said.

Academics FAVORITE CLASSES Saving the Grade Means No Rest for Feeble-Mi nded Procrastinators Everyone hated pulling an all-nighter. All-nighters were something experienced by most students. Being inevitable throughout a college career, they were as much a part of life as finals and visits to Sunnyside. Although not among our fondest memories, all-nighters were something to which every college student could relate. They consisted of long, tedious hours of reading, writing and memorizing, while the main objective was to stay awake. One way students prepared for an all- nighter was to sleep during the day. Unfortunately there were no guaranteed methods for facing these endless nights. There were many suggested ways to get through an all-nighter. Cigarettes and soda made it to the top of the sur- vival list. Listening to favorite tapes, albums or radio stations made the night go faster. All-nighting with a group of friends aid- ed in staying awake, but the amount of studying actually completed was ques- tionable. Lots of late-night snacks were a necessity. Not to be forgotten was the tremen- dous amount of coffee, tea and pop (or any caffeinated beverage) that students consumed during these endless nights. An all-nighter gave one realization: the studying that should have been done before. After 24 hours of nonstop book hit- ting, one word penetrated the minds of most students: sleep.

Academics ALL-NIGHTERS 81 To Study or Not You Know You ' re Bored When . . . Studying — who needs it? Students could be found day after day doing anything and everything except studying. They partied, they went out of town, they slept, they ate and they even went as far as to just sit and vegetate in- stead of studying. When I ' m studying I just sit and stare at my books. And then 1 head for the telephone, said pre-joumalism sophomore Julie Carpenter. Pre-business sophomore Chris Pittman heads for the telephone, too — I start studying and then 1 start thinking of pizza and then 1 go call Dominoes, she said. Those people who lived in dorms had it easy when they didn ' t want to study, they could just wander the hall until they found something go- ing on. I just go down the hall until I find an open door and then 1 talk to whoever is there, said pre-business sophomore and Arnold Hall resident Gary Jacobs. A common alternative was napping. When I ' m supposed to be studying I always get the urge to take a nap, said Melissa Curtis, a pre- business sophomore. I usually tell myself ' no ' but end up falling asleep anyway! Other students possessed different urges in opposi- tion to studying. Betsy Griggs, another pre-business sophomore said, I like to sleep instead of studying, but above both I ' d rather go partying! One statement sums up many students thoughts about studying. I ' d rather do anything but study, said pre-joumalism sophomore Tina Carinci. I think I may take up pottery! Although students aren ' t overly fond of study- ing, WVU boasted statistics which proved that students do in fact study.

Gates opened during the sum- mer, players from several different sports were in Morgantown to train. Football play ers, especially, were getting ready for an exciting year. The Mountaineers kicked off in a freshly ex- panded football stadium — and throughout the season, it was continually filled. The Goodyear Blimp made its first appearance in Morgantown to help televise one game, one of the scant few which was televised. No post-season bowl bids were offered to the Mountaineers, but they still ended the season with a winning record. Basketball got off to a shooting start — and ended the season with a smashing finish. Although the team lost several key players, a winning team was nevertheless produced. They both started and ended the Atlantic 10 tourna- ment seated second and had a regular season record of 22-9. The Lady Mountaineers fought a hard season and finished fourth in the conference. Other sports, such as wrestling, soccer, skiing, swimming, tennis and volleyball were there to show off the talents of other student athletes. Non-athletes had the chance to demonstrate their talents through the intramural programs — everyone had the opportunity to fly through the starting block. DIVIDER sports DIVIDER 87 Game Day becomes a long day for stadium staff Ah. h.h., Saturday games: tailgating in the lots, cheering for the Pride, roaring with the crowd, tearing down the goal post and partying after the win. What may seem like a typical day of relaxa- tion, celebration and jubilation for all remains far from that for those backstagers who bring life to West Virginia football. Months of season preparation compounded with hours of game-day checks and perfections anonymously preface each blue and gold home contest. Many people have no idea of the amount of manpower, hours and work that goes into suc- cessfully staging a big time collegiate athletic event with a first class touch, said Joe Boczek, sports information direction. We finish a football year on a Saturday and start on the next years ' preparations the next week ' said Athletic Director Fred Schaus. This year in January we began fall season-ticket and press-credential organization. The actual sale process of the more than 40,000 season tickets and more than 3,000 tailgate spaces commences in February, said Jay Redmond, Ticket Manager. Although we handle all the money, at this point the majority of our job is public relations because we are the primary contact between athletics and the fans, Redmond, a 1977 WVU broadcasting alumnus, continued. After the requests come, it takes a 10-member staff three months to process the orders, he added. Sports communications kicks into media assistance season in March with the Media Guide completion and press box touch-ups, said Boczek. Throughout the summer the staff continuously works on game credentials, press releases and team interviews, he noted. Provisions for fans ' safety, comfort and con- venience remain the main concern for the staff, said George Nedeff, intercollegiate athletics chairman. Early in June we concentrate on stadium repairs and maintenance. In August I meet with the heads of different departments: security, concessions, safety, park- ing, media, and tickets. We set up teams and season strategies, he added. For all departments, at the time of the new team ' s debut like every game day the work is far from complete. At 5 a.m. when most fans are still dreaming about the day ' s events to come, concession crews begin cleaning, cooking and packaging the foot- ball munchies, said Nedeff. To lock and to secure the gates, security guards enter the picture at 7:30 a.m., he added. Athletic officials arrive as early as 8 a.m. to give their pro- grams a final check. During the game, sports in- formation works with hostesses, caterers, media and security. In addition, they prepare four stat reports at each quarter at the half and at the end of the match, said Boczek. I occasionally see bits and pieces of a game, but I miss a lot, he added. While watching highlights, I always notice a few plays that I don ' t remember at all. After the duel, we spend up to three hours working with the media and a 70-80 hour seven-day work week preparing for the next WVU fight, Boczek said. Clean-up crews work nonstop for 48 hours to return the stadium to pre-game condition, said Nedeff. The most important thing about the entire process is cooperation from the bottom to the top of the ladder, he added. If everyone does his job right, things go like clockwork. However, if many things are forgotten, they fall apart. The star amount of behind the scenes work of- ficials put into football is unreal, said Robin Young, a sports communications workstudy. Until I started working for them, I had no idea of the time put into a game. The sad thing is that they could spend 10 times that amount in preparations and people would still find fault with something.

By going 1-3 while playing before national television au- diences, the Moun- taineers cost themselves a chance at an un- precedented fifth straight bowl bid. WVU played all of its TV games on the road, three of the contests be- ing at night. In the three losses to Maryland, Penn St. and Virginia the Mountaineers were outscored by a total of 82-7. The lone win, a 13-10 upset of Syracuse, came after the bowl bids had been handed out. Following a season- opening 52-13 shellshocking of Louisville, WVU fought off a Duke rally and held on to defeat the Blue Devils 20-18. West Virginia sealed the win when Duke quarterback Steve Slayden was sacked by Van Richard- son and Matt Smith on a two-point conversion attempt with only 39 seconds left. After the 28-0 loss to Maryland the Moun- taineers returned home to face arch-rival Pitt. The game ended in a 10-10 tie, the first draw in the history of the series between the two schools that started in 1895. Celebrating Homecoming, the Mountaineers sent Virginia Tech home with a 24-8 win over the Hokies. Quarterback Tony Reda hit Brian Krawchyk with five passes for 87 yards and one touchdown and running back John Holifield ran for 117 yards to lead the way in the win. After traveling to rain-soaked Boston Col- lege and coming away with a 13-7 victory, WVU faced Penn St., a team which, until last year, WVU hadn ' t beaten since 1955. . . .ir - ' ♦• ' -V ' r ■ --% i -, :?

Because no bowl in- vitation was extended to the Mountaineers, the Syracuse game became WVU ' s bowl. WVU upset the Cherry Bowl- bound Orangemen 13- 10, the first win at Syracuse by a WVU team since 1973. Mike Timko led a final drive that saw the Moun- taineers move the ball 75 yards in less than a minute and a half to score the winning touchdown. Three catches by Harvey Smith highlighted the drive, before Grantis Bell ' s five-yard touchdown catch gave WVU the win. Even though no bowl bid was given to WVU, the Mountaineers still finished with a 7-3-1 record, which bettered last year ' s slate. If WVU could have been the Ready for Prime Time Players just one more time, they might have received a fifth-straight bowl bid.

Sports FOOTBALL Ticket debackle doesn ' t deter enthusiasm When fans from around the state arrived at Mountaineer Field for the game, they immediately noticed the student section. Why? Because when everyone else was just arriving, the students had packed the student section and were beginning to get restless. Seats were hard to come by for the ' 85 season because of the new ticket confirmation policy. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays prior to each home game students confirmed their attendance at stations around the campus by showing their ID ' s to receive printed tickets. Student Administration President Mike Oliverio said, The new policy was desired by both the Athletic Department and the Student Administration, to make the most effective use of the seats and to assure all of a seat. Athletic Director Fred Schaus commented, Our main concern is keeping nonstudents out of the section; that is the student ' s privilege. We are putting an extra usher at the bottom of the steps to prevent that problem. Both Oliverio and Schaus described the policy as working well. Oliverio stated, 1 think that anytime you have a change, you will have problems at first, but now 1 believe the policy is running smoothly. Schaus said, We have had a few problems, but we expected those. The confirmation is going much better than we originally thought. Not all students appreciated the policy. It ' s bothersome to have to go confirm a ticket when we have already paid for it in our tuition, Heath Skidmore said. It ' s just something extra to do. The section still boasts its roaring vitality, despite the new policies. The Mountaineer spirit left some in awe. I experienced the student sec- tion for the first time at the Louisville game, said freshman Steve Smalley. It was jam- packed and the enthusiasm and spirit were great. Famed for its loud cheering and vocal support of the Mountaineers, the section also served as a place to meet people. There are so many new faces and it is really easy to make friends, stated freshman Barbara Farmer. Although the new ticket policy was im- plemented, support for the school seemed to grow. No doubt exists that the section remains the place to be on a football Saturday. By Alan Dye Sports J4 STUDENT SECTION Preparing to get the students fired up.

Lisa Scott and Nancy Merkle had 8 kills apiece, while Scott and Jill Raschiatore were the defensive leaders as they combined for 1 1 digs. Following a loss to George Mason and vic- tories over Youngstown St. and Rutgers, WVU finished 4-1 in the Rutgers Tournament.

Sports MENS BASKETBALL 107 Winners at 24-14-1 Baseball Ken Smith Stars for Mountaineers The baseball diamond at Hawley Field shone brightly in the 1985-86 season as Coach Dale Ramsburg ' s Moun- taineers finished with a fine 24-14-1 record and as runner-up in the Atlantic 10 tournament. The Mountaineers, the defending A- 10 tourna- ment champs, had hoped to repeat, but an eight run eighth inning for Rutgers in the cham- pionship game erased a 3-2 WVU lead and gave the Scarlet Knights the crown. Pitcher Ken Smith defeated Temple 16-3 in the opening round of the tourna- ment giving him his tenth win of the season, tying the record from most wins in a season by a WVU pitcher. Smith was named the tournament ' s Most Outstanding Pitcher. Named to the All- Conference team were Smith, third baseman Gus Morande, who bat- ted .387, and shortstop Bobby Watts who hit .384 during the season. . - iJ frf f O ' Sports 108 BASEBALL After clubbing a homerun, Safe at second is the call as a this WVU baseball player Mountaineer base stealer goes into his trot.

This past year saw the second time in two years that the Wrestling Mountaineers under Coach Craig Turnbull have been ranked nationally. Two years ago the team was listed at 16th and last year reached 15 in some polls. The team finished the season at 12-7. The team was 13-3 the year before. It is believed that the 1986-87 season will see continued success. The 1986-87 squad will have 12 lettermen returning. In eight years, Turnbull has built a strong contender at West Virginia. To help him, he recruited Nate Carr as an assistant coach. Carr came from the Big Eight power Iowa State. He has three national championships a the 150-pound class. His collegiate record is 112-16-1. He is working on a master ' s degree at WVU plus helping to train the wrestlers. The Mountaineers compete in a strong league — the Eastern Wrestling League which has Penn State, Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Pitt, Clarion and Cleveland State. The EWL is rated the third best con- ference in the nation behind the Big Eight and the Big Ten. The league sends 34 qualifiers to the NCAA Tournament and has six of its seven teams ranked this past season. The Mountaineers had a top heavyweight in Bill Nye, the EWL champion. He now ranks first or se- cond in almost every West Virginia wrestling record category. He has the third mo3t wins with a record of 72- 21-5. He has also scored 155 points to be sec- ond on the all-time list behind Mark Cagle with 222 points. He leads in most take downs with 127.

The results benefit from the Shell Building, with its 87x42 wrestling practice room, and a weight room that features some of the best equipment in the world of weightlifting. In the future. Mountaineer wrestling fans could find themselves in the midst of some of the most in- tense wrestling action in the country. 112 Sports WRESTLING i 113 Old Mountaineer Field will soon be history. A new Economics and Business Building will take its place. Students and fans now have the new Mountaineer Field located on the Evansdale campus, but it may never replace the memories from the old field. The new field has room for 63,500 spectators and it is equipped with the latest modern conveniences. The new field was opened in 1980 and initially seated about 50,000. Officials at the West Virginia Athletic Office claims it is one of the most complete stadiums anywhere in America. The field is now connected with the Facilities Building in a unified football complex. The day-to-day home of the foot- ball team and support staff, the Facilities Building houses the offices, locker room, training, weight, meeting, study and dining rooms for the Mountaineers. With the grass practice field just a few steps out of the door, the completed structure is impressive.

Join the intramural or sports clubs programs. The intramural and sports club events provid- ed students the opportunity to participate in various activities they might otherwise have a chance to do. Ken Lloyd, who played intramural flag football stated, It ' s a good way to exercise, because I don ' t get a chance to do much any other time. The intramural program consisted of eight dif- ferent programs ranging from team athletics to a photography laboratory and gave students a wide variety of activities to choose from. Tom Pinto, head of the Recreation lntramurals Department, stated, Most of the students par- ticipate in informal recreation or pickup games. But for team competition, our biggest sport is basketball. About 200 teams participate in that sport. Pinto went on to say that participation in the rest of the activities ranged anywhere from 30-150 teams with flag football, volleyball, and Softball also very popular among students. Sport Clubs, a division of the intramural pro- gram, gave students the chance to be involved in an atheletic group with other students who share the same interests. Laura Tumose, Sports Club Federation Advisor, commented on the variety of recreational events available to students through sport clubs. We have 18 clubs in which over 1200 people participate. The largest group is the Ski Club, which has almost 300 members. The rest of the clubs vary from 50-150 people, Tumcsa said. Tumosa stressed the community service pro- jects that inform people of the sports clubs were vital to the Federation ' s membership. We hold tournaments, bake sales and park cars as a way of fundraising and letting the public know about the clubs. We also hold two sports clubs Federa- tion Weeks to inform the public. If you ever sat around doing nothing but wanted to participate in sports, you should have looked into the intramural and Sports Clubs pro- grams. They undoubtedly would have had the right activity for you. By Alan Dye 118 Sports SPORTS CLUBS Jk ' ' ' .  ; : -r- Sports SPORTS CLUBS 119 urns Blockbuster parties, blockbuster philanthropies, blockbuster par- ticipation and blockbuster students were the blocking force behind campus organizations. A majority of students were involved in either a campus club, group, fraternity or sorority. Greek Week, Homecoming Week and Moun- taineer Week were all geared toward campus organizations. Parties and get-togethers were a driving and stabilizing force of clubs. The different organizations proved their wor- thiness by the service projects and philan- thropies done around the campus, state and na- tion. A few examples were: Kappa Delta ' s drive against child abuse. Alpha Phi Omega ' s football run from Pitt to support autistic children and Alph Xi Delta ' s Breathe-E-Xi Week to benefit the American Lung Association. Busting with Pride could describe the WVU Marching Band, who entertained crowds during the football games and in various parades. Competition to get into the band was fierce, but the end result was a blockbuster performance. Without the groups on campus or, for some, the Greeks, life in Morgantown would be much less exciting and fulfilling. Groups and Greeks provided a blockbusting way to give life to all University students. 1 |g B InnilMIHIMLERSJ DIVIDER Groups DIVIDER 121 .-JF. -TL: f- r 122 Organizations Organizations Organizations 123 fr WVU ' s twirler entertains the (j Mountaineer fans during halftime.

As they passed through, they each grabbed a copy of the Daily Atheneaum. Later, as they walked back through the ' Lair on their way home, they stopped at a booth and ordered a 1986 MON- TICOLA. Then, when they got home, they turned their radio on to U-92 and began to study. Whether you knew it or not, the student media af- fected everyone. The DA was the most popular of the three; almost everyone picked it up daily. A staff of 40 and about 40 more contributing writers strove to get the paper out four days a week, every day of the semester. Along with campus news, local, state and national news was covered. Feature stories, sports coverage, advertising, mini- ads and the chance for Information Campus Media Tells All students to express their views in the section U ' s View ' s on News were im- portant parts of the paper. The editor of the DA was Journalism student Crystal Dempsey. With the exception of several managers, the DA was run entirely By students. During the year, the DA sponsored several forums around campus, making news as well as printing it. U-92 was the University ' s only radio station. A staff of about 35 students was managed by station manager Roy Garretson, who original- ly helped to establish the stu- dent run radio station. U-92 offered students new music — an alternative to music listening. The station prided itself in being an innovative alternative. Various programming such as The Time Warp, The Funk Show, and The Debut LP served a wide variety of listeners. They also offered hourly newscasts, local and national sports coverage and public service messages. U- 92, a non-profit and commer- cial free station, also gave away various prizes throughout the year and pro- vided listeners with a 24-hour request line. So, when you got tired of hearing the sane old tunes, you could turn your dial to 91.7FM and catch something new on U-92. Capturing memories was not an easy thing to do in col- lege, but the staff of the 86 MONTICOLA tried its best to recap the year ' s events. A relatively small staff worked diligently to produce a memory took for all Univer- sity students. Since 1898, the MONTICOLA has provided a yearbook of community, cam- pus, academic, sports, Greek, group and people ac- complishemnts, giving in- dividual students the chance to be in the spotlight. The MONTICOLA was headed by junior Arika Anderson, who was also the editor of the 85 MON- TICOLA. Mr. Nate Bull became the advisor to the book at the beginning of the year, arriving in West Virginia from the state of Washington. Bull was also the general manager of the DA. In an effort to gain notorie- ty during the year, the MON- TICOLA entered its first ever float into the Homecoming parade. All around campus, staff members could be seen wearing Chipped Off the Old Block sweatshirts also — the theme of the 86 MONTICOLA. Students were the driving force in campus media, as well as providmg a service to the entire community, they were gaining valuable prac- tical experience, by: Mary Jane Hawthorne MONTICOLA sports editor Alan Dye learns all he can about the Moun- taineers by reading the sports informa- tion departments monthly newsletter.

Place on a major college campus for one year. The result? . . . WVU ' s tenth and newest sorority, . . . ALPHA OMICRON PI! The fall of the year always brings changes to a college campus, and the fall of 1985 was not an exception. Many changes took place in Morgantown, but perhaps none more significant to the Greek world and undergraduate popula- tion of WVU than the formation of a new sorority on the campus. After receiving an invitation from WVU ' s Panhellenic Council, the International Headquarters of AOII came to the hills of West Virginia; on October 11, 1985 a colony was founded. Less than a year later, sisters of Sigma Alpha Colony are eager- ly anticipating the installation of their chapter during the weekend of August 23, 1986. Avid to get involved in campus ac- tivities, the sisters of AOII managed to have listeners with several fraternities on campus, participate in campus traditions such as Mountaineer Week, help fellow Greeks with philanthropy projects, while working hard under the leadership of Chapter advisors Maria Hall and Lisa Bragg, Colony President Vicki Berger, and other officers to fulfill the re- quirements for installation. While the fall semester was primarily filled with electing officers and getting organized, the spring semester brought opportunities to show the entire campus the spirit each sister of AOII possesses. Beginning the semester with their first Date Party on January 18, 1986 was just the beginning of a fun-filled semester. Participating and trying for first place with the sisters of Kappa Delta Sorority in the annual Sigma Chi Fraternity ' s Derby Days, was quite a feat for the new girls in town. Helping each other is an important concept that the sisters live by each day. Whether it be by spending the early days of April helping the Sigma Chis with their philanthropy, cheering on the Pi Kappa Phis as they pushed a wheelchair to raise money for the severely han- dicapped on April 12, 1986, working to raise money for their own philanthropy. the Arthritis Research Fund, via The Great Panda Playoff, where the sisters kidnapped fraternity presidents and held them for ransom, or by studying with a sister or friend for an upcoming exam, the sisters of AOII extend their helping hand. The sisters closed the spr- ing semester with their first AOII Rose Formal which was held on April 25, 1986 at the Union town Holiday Inn Holidome in Uniontown, Pa. Sigma Alpha Colony members know and appreciate the ideals upon which Alpha Omicron Pi was founded. The sorority ' s color is deep, rich, cardinal red. Their flower is the Jacqueminot Rose, a thornless, long-stemmed, red rose, representing the strength of sisterhood and life without the thorn of disharmony. The individuality of the members is evident and encouraged. AOIIs here at West Virginia University are all individuals united under a com- mon bond of Alpha Omicron Pi. Off to a fantastic start, the sisters of Sigma Alpha are not about to quit or to be satisfied. The upcoming year pro- mises bigger and better things . . . chapter installation, formal rush.

The Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta 141 Chi Omega The Chi-O ' s, the girls voted Most Outstanding Sorority on Cam- pus for 1985-86 school year. They are active in many aspects of campus and Greek Life. For their u inter formal, the Chi Omegas had a famulous time down at Chestnut Square. For the spring formal, it was at Lakeview Sheraton. They had two date parties, which turned out great! The Cookout Date par- ty held at Cheat Lake and the Pajama Date party held at Star City Fire Hall. Paired with the Sigma Chis, at Homecoming, the Chi Omegas came shining through with the Homecoming festivities. As for Greek Week, the Chi-Os showed off their hard work by placing sctond. The Chi Omegas ' Philanthropy, Miss- ing and Abused Children, was in luck this year. The Chi Omegas held a twister game and raised a large amount of money for their philanthropy. 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. 142 Groups Greeks CHI OMEGA 143 Memories 1986 144 145 PI BETA PHI 146 Clubs Greeks PI BETA PHI A Year to Remember Clubs Greeks PI BETA PHI 147 GREEK Activities 150 [ DISC 00 HEAi Greeks Homecoming 151 Sigma Phi Epsilon Groups Greeks SIGMA PHI EPSILON 153 Photos by Frank Ahrens 155 iteT -• mT - ' iiyyiaiii.iu lJ .

Summer blockades were the main physical barriers. Prospect St., the High Street Bridge and South US 119 were all closed for periods of time due to reconstruction. Chipping away at landlord supremacy, students fought to get more rights, and apart- ment owners competed with each other to house the declining student body. Blocking High Street for a party, Morgan- towners celebrated the town ' s 200th birthday with a business and campus oriented birthday party. Student rights were chipped away as the city cracked down on the state ' s drinking age; more substantial ID was required all over the city. Nationally, water blocks innundated West Virginia in November as the worst flood since the 1800s, which left thousands homeless, ruined businesses and destroyed cities and towns. The world was disillusioned when future space shuttle launches were blocked after the tragic flight of the Challenger, the entire nation saw it explode live on television on Jan. 28. Medical researchers still stove to overcome the baffling blocks of the disease AIDS, victims more than doubled over the year. Although the ups and downs were evident, the community and university put roadblocks aside and went on with everyday doings.

Community 180 ADS How to count nothing Okay, now that you have been in col- lege for awhile, you should appreciate what it is like to have to save every pen- ny. So, how did college students cope with living on a budget? There really wasn ' t much of a choice was there? Once you got to college, you got a crash course on how to manage money. It might have been through a checking account, a savings account or maybe through your parents. However, you do it, you probably didn ' t like it. You starved. It was as simple as that. You learned how to live on generic brands or the store ' s name brand, like Red-n-White or Shop-n-Save. No more did you see luxuries like Kraft, Oscar Meyer or Nabisco lining the shelves of your cupboards or refrigerator. You had to settle for everything from generic potato chips to generic toilet paper. And when it got really bad, it was Make-it- yourself pizzas instead of Dominoes. College students found out the hard way that just one pizza or just one trip to McDonald ' s could break a budget for an entire week. Another biggie in a college student ' s life was the price of books. They seemed to keep rising and the price of extras was always going up, too. If you lived in a private of University dorm you learned to make your weekly spending money cover your extra food and things such as week-ends in Sunnyside. Just because you had no bills, the expenses were still there. For example, no one really realized how those quarters for Cokes added up until they had to live on a budget. In an apartment, you learned to live with bills that never stop, grocery costs, home improvements (dishwashing liquid, etc.), damages (thanks to rambunctious party guests) and the unexpected expenses, such as calling a locksmith when you lock yourself out. Long-distance phone bills were another luxury that ate a great deal of money. We all hated living within the confines of a budget, but it was one of the things that most of us could not avoid. One thing is for sure, it made us appreciate going home to Mom and Dad ' s wallets every once in a while.

What could it be? It couldn ' t be the laun- dry. No — you did laundry only a week ago. Or was it two? It ' s a problem we all went through once or twice a month during our days in college. Awakening to find that you had to do laundry. It meant waiting in lines, sitting through endless spin cycles and running to double check on the fabric softener. The majority of Morgantown students went to local laundromats and payed from 50 to 75 cents per load. Usually, the machines were caked with Finishing a week ' s laundry, sophomore Kitty Cunningham loads her clothes into a basket. soap and enough lint to make a coat. But you had to sit there with your clothes and watch — otherwise they might have ended up stolen. Dorm residents, especially at Towers, got two hours a week to do their laundry. They had to be careful not to run over into the next person ' s time, even if it meant taking a basketful of wet clothes back to their rooms. There were a few lucky students who lived in apart- ments or houses that were equipped with washers and dryers. What happened when they broke down? It was off to the laundromats to join their friends and spend all their quarters. Of course, there were always those who took their laundry home to Mom on the week-ends. Even though we were supposed to be independent adults, we knew that home was a great place to get someone else to do your dirty work. Laundry. That big smelly pile in your closet.
