During the summer, many were shocked to hear that Dr. Donald Zacharias was interviewing for the presi- dency at Mississippi State. When he announced his resignation at the end of August, a presidential search panel was selected and the search was on for a new leader. Dr. Paul Cook was named interim president and was a finalist when Dr. Kern Alexander was chosen. When students returned to their dorm rooms in the fall, many were surprised to see the opposite sexes min- gling in one dorm. Western had finally broken its long- standing tradition of strictly male and female housing. And for those who weren't in Poland, the co-ed dorm, open-house hours were increased from four hours a night to 12 hours a day. Despite the changes, for the better or worse, Western students learned to ad- just to whatever situation came their way. —Drew Tartar TE Ee Ene ae TTY Ee ee Re eS ON ONE OF spring’s first sunny days, Susan Shiek, a Bowling Green freshman, and Steve Trawick, a Henderson freshman, catch some rays.

But this year, with most of the sports teams having extremely successful seasons, there was more to cheer about than to cry about. The Lady Toppers carried on their tradition of returning to the Final Four in Lexington, where they met top- ranked Texas, the very team they beat to gain a Final Four berth last year. Meanwhile, the men’s basketball team appeared in the top-20 for the first time in many years, only to fall out of the ranking the following week. And the soc- cer team, with a 12-9 season, set a record for the most wins by a Western soccer team. But then there were disap- pointments as well. The football team beat Tennessee State in the season opener, only to lose the next four games. For the first time in seven years, the swim team lost the Midwest Re- gional NCAA, while the men’s cross country team was upset in the NCAA. Overall, winning was the trend; a trend that might become a tradition. X —Greg Lovert NEAR THE END of the game, Tarrie Roberts, a junior from Franklin, Ind., nervously chews on her fingernails.

When the state government at- tempted to cut education funds, West- ern and other state schools united for a higher education rally that showed the state government that students cared. Students voiced their oe over what they felt was an _uaa arg unfairly difficult English 101 pass fail exam. As a result, the department revamped the test and gave students another chance to salvage their English 101 grade. Next year, students will not be required to take such an exam. A local politician encouraged students to register to vote in the Bowling Green elections. As a result, many did register, and some became active in local cam- paigns. Students learned that their opinions were heard and that, at times, they could make a difference by making their opin- ions known. —Greg Lovett IN THE WINTER weather, Sheila Hardesty, a junior from Louisville, tries to stay warm and dry under her umbrella.

From the Agriculture Exposition Center. to Western athletics, the Bowling Green community thrived from Western students. Banners sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce welcomed students back to school each semester. And some stores offered student discounts to encourage them to shop there. But students returned the favor by allowing businesses to sponsor floats in the Homecoming parade. And two fraternities hung lights and greenery in downtown Bowling Green at Christmas.

College students are known for their love for partying and Western students were no different. But be- cause we looked for new ways to have a good old time, we had fun in the trendiest of ways. And theme parties were trendy. University Center Board sponsored a_ beach party and Hilloween, while Bowling Green businesses sponsored best tan contests and “crash and burn’ parties complete with rock bands, like Govern- ment Cheese and The Ken Smith band, and special drink prices to entice the thirsty. And some familiar hangouts were changing. The Alibi was no more the stomping ground for Tuesday-night- quarter-beer faithfuls. Other establish- ments changed names like the Iron Skillet, which changed its name to Trot- ter’s, only to close four months later. And still more, like Rafferty’s, didn’t change, but still remained popular. But, whether on campus, or off, students just wanted to have fun. —Robert Pope ance at a university-sponsored dance following the homecoming COUPLES 4d iversity-sponsored dance following the | game Saturday night.

Western wasn't the only place that enjoyed some successes this year. The state scored a large financial success after Gov. Martha Layne Collins persuaded the Toyota company to build their new auto plant in Scott County near Lexing- ton. It was expected to be a large supplier of jobs, as well as helping at- tract other businesses to Kentucky. As for the see Bowling Green area, the Corvette Plant sales expanded after business slowed in expectation of the new line of con- vertibles. Corvette was nationally rated as the one of the best sportscars in the world. And business was expanded as planners developed a new mall and _pos- sibly a galleria. Bowling Green enjoyed state-wide at- tention as it hosted the Sweet Sixteen Girls’ Basketball Tournament, which drew a large crowd of fans to Western. AS THE SUN begins to set, a horse trots across the field at the university farm. The Agriculture Exposition Center, located on the 900-acre farm, was the site of horse shows and rodeos.

The sign was welcoming alumnae to KD house. 1S Opening TRADITION 1. Tart Escape... Many used a wide range of media to escape. Some found escape through going to movies like the “Color Purple” or “Out of Africa.” Others found light-hearted movies like “Back to the Future,” and “Prizzi's Honor’ more entertaining. Strides in technology made quality sound more easily accessible. Compact discs and disc play- ers could reproduce music so_ frealisti- cally that warnings were placed on the disc for Tschaikov- sky’s “1812 Over- ture,” cautioning listeners that the cannon fire in the piece could blow out their speakers. Walkmans — al- lowed students to make walking a little more pleasant by enabling them to take their music with them. Whatever the means of escape, students found it. —Robert Pope ON THE STAGE in Garrett Ballroom, Angie Norcia, an Owensboro junior, competes in Kappa Delta Washboard.

MEASURE SAFETY By MARCIA ROBERTSON Photos By nt (O) 15} |= [St 18 Campus Police RAL = Editor's Note: Marcia Robertson, Talisman reporter, spent eight hours in a police cruiser with Lt. Joe Gentry. The following story is her journal of that night’s events. THE THEME song plays softly in the back- ground as the garage door flies open and the police cruiser, with lights and siren flashing, prepares to go on yet another far-from-routine chase. The above scenario is, of course, from a popular police televison show. Although a day in the life of a campus policeman doesn’t have all the glamour of the show, it is anything but routine. 3:30p.m. Roll Call. Lt. Joseph Gentry comes into the officer’s shift- changing meeting. At 48, he is still a handsome, robust man whose appearance demands respect. One could easily picture him as an army drill sergeant and in fact he did serve in the armed forces. During the briefing, a policeman reports that he has seen a girl on campus who was “a dead ringer” for person a reported missing. “Oh,” Gentry said, “ just like the one in the report. Maybe we should talk to I've seen her. That girl looks her just to make sure.” 4p.m. Gentry and five other officers leave the meeting to go on duty. As Gentry is going into his office, he is approached by three students from “Western Weekly” who want to stage a policeman pulling overa person suspected of DUI. Gentry places a call to Continued on page 19 another officer and lets him take care of the mock arrest. 4:55p.m. A young man is brought in after being found in Diddle Arena without proper authorization. As he is walking through the shift officer’s office, he greets Gentry with a “Hi, chief!” When Gentry returns the greeting, the young man smiles and says, “Gee, I hope I haven’t done anything wrong. I would sure hate to get into trouble with you guys.” Gentry said, “Everyone is scared of the police. But if you have not done anything wrong, what do you have to be afraid of? We don’t go around harassing people.” 59:40 p.m. Gentry is in the dispatch room. The officer who is supposed to be working there had to leave to get a typewriter. The telephone rings. “Campus police,” Gentry answers. In a matter of seconds, Gentry has contacted a unit over the police radio and has the two officers, who had answered the call, on their way to handle the problem. Shortly afterwards, a student calls about his car. He doesn’t remember if he had parked his car and for- gotten where it was, or if it had been towed away. After taking down the student’s license plate number and the university registration decal number, Gentry checks the tow-away sheet and tells the student that his car was not supposed to be towed away. But he assures the student that he would be looking out for his car. AS PART, of his duties, Lt. Joseph Gen- try patrols on campus in a police cruiser. Gentry had the shift from 4 p.m. to 12 p.m. 19 Campus Police St REINER REE APEC OFT ORO BEFORE sending officers on patrol, Captain Ed Wilson reviews placement of officers at girls’ basketball games.

White was one of eight student patrol members By PAM CAREY THE THOUGHT ofsomeone ina red shirt and cap holding a walkie-talkie seldom struck fear in the hearts of students, unless he started walking toward their cars. They scoured the campus daily, seeking out illegally parked cars and writing numerous tickets and, at times, calling for a tow-truck to lead cars into never, never land. These red-shirted, ticket-writing, fearless people are, of course, the student patrol. Joe White, a Mt. Washington sophomore, was one of eight students on patrol for the department of public safety. He and the other members of the patrol did a job that, for the most part, was unappreciated. Often White, a two-year veteran of the patrol, wrote as many as 100 tickets in one day. He estimated that the student patrol issued about 1400 citations in one month. The number of tickets varied from month to month, and special events on campus usually brought an increase in parking violations. The fines, White said, were not overly expensive. Tickets ranged in cost from five to 10 dollars, depending upon the type of violation. If the fines were paid within 24 hours, the violator only had to pay half the cost of the ticket. The only time a violation became expensive was when a student left his vehicle in the wrong zone. The car was often towed away at the owner's expense. Writing tickets always posed the possibility of students approaching White to voice their displeasure at having had to pay a fine. “You always run the risk of getting your head chewed off,” White said 20 Campus Police with a laugh. “But luckily, I only had problems with students once or twice.” White admitted the job had its undesirable points. Bad weather, for example, made patrolling icy or puddle-filled parking lots a drudgery. And then there were times when the routine simply got boring. There were the not-so-rare occasions when he had to ticket a car that belonged to someone he knew. “I have—and haven’t—had to give a friend a ticket,” he said. “Some- times I went ahead and wrote the ticket, but most of the time, I tried to get someone else on patrol to do it for me.” White and his cohorts found ways to humor themselves to prevent what could have been a mundane day. “Sometimes we would get a kick out of setting out to track down the repeated offenders,” he said. Ticket writing, however, was only one of several duties of the student patrol. When there were special events on campus, the patrol provided security and helped to direct traffic flow. One of White’s most mem- orable moments was working with and around the Secret Service when vice president George Bush visited the campus in 1984. Although it might appear that they’re the Rodney Dangerfields of the campus, that really didn’t concern White when he took the job two years ago. He took the job for several reasons other than paying for school. “The job sounded interesting, and I felt it was a good way to learn to find my way around campus,” he said. “As I walk around on patrol, I get to talk to people, and meet new people—it’s really not a bad job.” | MEASUR Continued from page 19 8:40 p.m. Gentry patrols campus. While cruising through Egypt parking lot, Gentry spots an illegally parked Car. As he prepares to get out of the car and write a ticket for the apparent parking violation, a young man peeps from the dark car. Realizing that it is the campus police, he sits up and rolls down his window. As he mumbles an excuse to Gentry about his parking, a girl sits up next to him and begins to straighten her shirt. Gentry takes a deep bre ath and tells the guy to park his car correctly and leave the parking lot. 8:52p.m. After calling in, Gentry leaves campus and drives to Junior Foods for a Coke. When he finishes his break, he drives to the parking lot next to Pearce-Ford Tower and begins to patrol on foot. 9:32p.m. Gentry sees a student walking toward the Univer- sity Student Center with a beer in his hand. Gentry tells the guy to empty the beer on the ground, step on the can, and throw it away. 9:54p.m. Gentry writes his fourth ticket for the night. As he gets back into the patrol car, he says, “The university police is different from city police or county law enforcement in that the university police are dealing with people who are in a college atmosphere. They (students) probably never had to be ina situation that they had to comply with traffic law before.” 10:03 p.m. Gentry gets dinner at De Vanti’s. After he orders a bacon and tomato sandwich with french fries, a smile appears on his face as he begins to talk about his wife and daughter. He tells how attractive he still finds his wife and how much he loves his only child. Shortly after, he begins to tell a story about how he had to leave for the Vietnam War before his wife found out that she was pregnant. His story is interrupted by the waitress bringing his dinner. He pauses in the midst of the story and bows his head to say grace over his food. Then he pours catsup on his fries, and continues with his story. “When I left, she wasn’t showing. And when I came back, she had had the baby and gotten her figure back. So it was like she was never pregnant, but I had pictures of her being pregnant and a beautiful daughter to prove that she was, he said withasmile. 10:47 p.m. Gentry’s dinner is interrupted by a series of police codes called over the radio. An alarm went off in the credit union office. A burglary is suspected. As he is running toward the door, he throws a handful of cash in front of the lady at the register, and leaves without waiting for his change. Less than two minutes later, he is at the entrance of the credit union office’s driveway. After five tense minutes, the dispatcher calls and says that the alarm had been set off by someone inside of the building and that it wasn’t an emergency. “Thank God,” Gentry said with obvious relief. “This job is something else. It’s hours and hours of boredom interrupted temporarily by sheer panic.” 11:05p.m. Gentry comes into headquarters to write police reports of the night’s activities. 12:03 a.m. The next shift commander comes in to relieve Gentry.

Two barbers stopped to smile and nod as they acknowledged customers before re- turning to the business at hand—cutting hair. Todd Rhea Kirby, a Bowling Green junior, worked at the shop with his father, Billy Rhea Kirby. For some members of the Kirby family, Western hadn't been just a place to get an education; Western was a bigger part of their lives. Todd was able to strike a happy medium between a job and school, while preparing for a trade along the way. Before coming to Western, Todd went to barber school in Nashville, Tenn. “It was called Roger's School of Hair Design, and it A red backpack full of was near the SAE house on Vandy’s campus and across from the stadium. It (barber school) took nine months and I lived in an apartment five blocks from school,” Todd said. Todd had an undeclared major, but he was looking into “possibly sociology relations),” Todd said. Billy has been barbering for 30 of his 50 years—long enough for the deft movements of his psychology or PR (public hand holding both a comb and scissors to seem second nature. Billy attended Tri-City Barber School in Louisville. Then the program for a barber took only eight months or 1250 hours of training. “T always thought I was supposed to (barber), declared myself a barber in the Navy and made some money that way,” Billy said. Billy said the GI Bill he received after the Navy “got him through barber school.” Unlike his father, Todd didn’t become interested in barbering he said. “until later,” “In my junior and senior year of high school I became more like interested—began noticing appearances more, most kids that age. I began looking through hair magazines and thinking it (barbering) might be fun,” Todd said. As Todd worked with customers, he looked as if barbering were fun. He joked easily with customers. Todd said he put in “about 35 hours a week at the shop in afternoons and on Saturdays.” Bully, on the other hand, worked 60 hours, seven days week. Billy did not attend Western like his son, but he was at one time connected with the college. From 1974-75, Billy served as a public safety officer for Western. Billy said he had been traveling 79 counties for 1969-74 as a state inspector of barbershops for the state Barber Board. “I decided to get off the road and I started at WKU,” Billy said. Billy heard about the job at public safety from his brother who had worked there previously. Members of the Kirby family still work for public safety. Cousins Richard Kirby was a lieutenant and Howard Kirby was a dispatcher. “I enjoy barbering. I knew when I was at Western that I was not going to continue there. I do very well (at barbering),” Billy said. Billy added that he didn’t AS PART OF a community education class, Todd attends aerobics in Diddle Arena.

He went on to say that he thought Western was “the greatest place in the world! We're very fortunate.” Todd said his father did not influence him in his decision to attend Western. Todd said that he decided to go to Western because he lived in Bowling Green. Billy hadn’t always worked behind the barber chairs in the shop on College Street. From 1960-68, Billy and two of his brothers worked at a barber shop located in what was Edgewood Shopping Center where West- ern’s “Egypt” parking lot is now. When Western made a lot out of the center, Billy said he didn’t bear Western any grudges. “They moved us to Western Gateway Shopping Center,” he said. Billy bought his shop on College Street after he worked for Western's department of public safety. To both Kirbys, Western has always had a part in their lives. Todd said he never considered any other school, even while in barber school near Vanderbilt. “I had always planned to attend Western.” Ucaeet weewen 112d eee — BS Barber Shop CLASSY By BONITA CORLEY Photos By KEVIN EANS 24 Child in the classroom SOME PEOPLE start college at the tender age of 17 or 18. Others start college as early as 16, and a gifted few start even younger. Katie Glynn began her college career at the age of 6 days. She couldn’t wait so she went to summer school and took part in the folklore and film course. Katie, born June 5, 1985, was the sixth child of Luanne Glynn, a graduate student in folk studies from Sharon Grove. Glynn was doing her graduate field studies, “a really tough course,” in the fall of 1984 when, “I started feeling tired.” Glynn thought that the strain of doing taped interviews and transcriptions was the cause. “I said to myself, ‘Gee, this is almost as bad as being pregnant.”” Glynn said that two weeks later she confirmed her pregnancy and began checking with her professors to see if she would be able to continue with her studies. “I made sure that I was going to be able to do it without creating a problem,” Glynn said. “I just wanted to keep going. It was definitely not something I planned ahead for.” Katie attended classes regularly with her mother. “Katie is just part of the classroom,” Sheila Cobb, a Glasgow junior, said. “I didn’t even know she was there until the second week of class.” Dr. Lynwood Montell, a modern language and intercultural studies professor, said, “I don’t notice that she is there.” Katie attended three of Montell’s classes with her mother. Katie’s mother is part of a new breed of students on Western’s campus. This older-mother-with-child trend is the “wave of the future,” Montell said. However, Katie is not the first child of Glynn’s to go to class. “The others have come when they have had a holiday from school,” Glynn said. “They have all gone to classes at one time or another, but not regularly.” Cobb, the mother of 9-year-old Damion, had a class with Glynn and Katie. She has also taken Damion to Montell’s class several times. Montell said, “Damion came by after class, shook my hand, and told me he enjoyed class.” Glynn was not worried about keeping Katie under control while still being able to continue with her work in the classroom. “I was pretty confident that I could keep her happy and quiet.” Montell said, “One day, the mother was taking an exam, and the baby started making a little noise. I asked (Luanne) ‘Could I hold your baby?’” While he was holding Katie in the hall of the Fine Arts Build- ing, another professor said, “So that’s the good baby I hear so much about,” Montell said. Glynn said there was really no choice as to whether she would have to take Katie to class. “Because she’s breastfed, I can’t leave her at home with my family. It wa s the easiest thing to do and definitely the cheapest. That was definitely a factor.” Katie rested in a carrier on the floor by her mother’s desk. Montell said that he didn’t know of any rules against a baby in a classroom, and was not checking because, “I don’t care.” Montell had “total respect” for older students such as Luanne Glynn, and will “bend over backwards to help them,” he said. Glynn was glad that her children have gotten to “go to college.” Glynn had quit high school but gotten her graduate equivalency degree and began her college career in 1977. “I like the idea they are exposed to a college education,” she said. “I was never exposed to college myself. 7 @ GLYNN USES a pacifier to quiet Katie during a discussion in Dr. Lynnwood Montell’s class.

Without a car and without cash, what was a starving college student to do? His trembling fingers dialed the number of Unicorn Pizza. He placed his order and it would be here soon. Everything was OK now. Unicorn Pizza was a university-owned pizza parlor that offered pizza, submarine sandwiches, a salad bar and snacks. It offered students the opportunity to use cash or their Super Cards. Operating from the basement of Gilbert Hall, Unicorn served nearly 2000 students each week. In a typical week, the restaurant employees made 600 pizzas and 300 sandwiches. It offered dine-in as well as a carry-out service. Glenda Gabhart, daytime supervisor, said that Uni- corn offered “good quality products” and saw the place “growing more and more” in the future. “We are pleased with the growth but we are look- ing for ways to promote it more,” Gabhart said. Unicorn added new equipment that would improve service. “We've gotten a new oven and new re- frigerator that will make performance more efficient.” More improvements were the additions of a daily sandwich special and four new sandwiches to the menu. Mrs. Grissom's salad spreads were added to the salad bar. “In cold weather, we are going to have chilt every day,” Gabhart said. They also added a bread shelf which offered a variety of sandwich breads. The busiest time for the Unicorn was at night. Jane Dams headed the larger nighttime staff that was necessary to accommodate the business of students taking a break from studying, Dams said. The on- campus location and Super Card were what made Unicorn Pizza convenient for students. Three-fourths of the students who went to Unicorn used their Super Cards, Dams said. Dede McCarthy, a Louisville senior, and Dilissa Anderson, a Henderson senior, said that they came to Unicorn because, “It’s close” and the food was good. Unicorn also offered a personal-size pizza that was popular among many students. “This personal pizza is a good deal for $2.50,” said Daisley Gordon, a Louisville senior. Gordon said he came to Unicorn once every two weeks. “I came after studying and to talk toa friend,” Gordon said. Carla Hale, a Harrodsburg senior, said that she used her Super Card at Unicorn two or three times a week. She usually got a personal pizza. “I work at Gilbert and it’s real handy.” Michael Corbett, an Elizabethtown freshman, said the Unicorn Sub was “one hell of a sandwich.” He ate at Unicorn about twice a week. Often customers took advantage of the Unicorn’s free delivery for on-campus orders, which began at 6 p.m. Deliveries made up 75 percent of the nighttime sales. Unicorn driver Chris Wright, a Whitesville soph- omore, said, “I keep busy, and since I can’t deliver off campus, I’ve met people on street corners at the edge of campus to deliver food.” Despite one comment that the food was “too slow,” Unicorn seemed to be scoring a big success. Whether it was the food, prices and service, or the warm atmosphere with tapestries of Unicorns on every wall and a juke box in the corner, Unicorn Pizza was, as Ft. Mitchell sophomore Meredith Monohan said, “the place to be. ) AS PART of the busier nighttime staff, Santos B. Lopez, a Caracas, Venezuela, junior.removes pizza from the oven.

GIVING blood to the Red Cross in the spring of 85 turned out to be better than Elaine Lewis, a Glasgow sophomore, ever expected. That was the day she met Freddy Shanks, a Radcliff junior. Lewis had just been to the cellar of West Hall to give blood, before going to the Downing University Center. “I was feeling a little sick at the time and he came over and asked me how I was,” Lewis said. Shanks said he saw her sitting alone in the lower lobby of the student center. “She had on a tag that said, ‘Be nice to me. (I gave blood),’ so I went over to talk to her,” Shanks said. Since that day, Elaine and Freddy were names to be spoken in the same breath. A member of Alphi Phi Alpha fraternity, Shanks convinced Lewis to join the Ladies of Black and Gold, the little sisters to the fraternity. “We spend more time together than anybody on this campus,” Lewis said. “There are some running close seconds, but their love can’t compare to ours.” Shanks was a resident assistant at North Hall. “This is practically her room. She’s here so much.” The couple spent as much time together as possible. They shopped and took classes together when they could. Also, they were both members of ROTC. Shanks was a first lieutenant and Lewis was a staff sergeant. In the spring of 86, Shanks received his commission and the two planned to be married when Shanks grad- uated. Shanks faced his military career after graduation, but was unsure about where that career would take him. “T have no idea where we will be. Hopefully it will be overseas. I come from a military family and I’ve been over there a couple times and I just like it.” Lewis planned to complete her degree and pursue her career goal of being a registered nurse wherever she ll | I ul AT SMITH Stadium, Freddie Shanks, a Radcliffe junior, and Elaine Lewis, a Glasgow sophomore, spend time together. Both were ROTC members. had the opportunity. “I go where ever he goes,” Lewis said. Lewis also liked the idea of living overseas. “I think it’s great,” she said. Although their relationship seemed to be perfect, Lewis and Shanks did have their problerns to deal with. “We fight more than the average couple, but we always trust and care for each other,” Shanks said. “We don’t really fight about big, major things,” Shanks said. “She gets a little jealous sometimes. I might be walking to class with a girl in my class and she might not understand,” he said. Lewis said Shanks got jealous sometimes, too. “He gets mad if he doesn’t know where I am every minute,” Lewis said. Both Shanks and Lewis said that they didn’t feel that spending so much time together caused them to fight more than other couples. Shanks said, “I see our relationship like my parents’. They may argue and be mad at each other, then five minutes later they may be talking and laughing about something different.” Lewis said, “I love him because he’s not as forceful as the rest of the guys on campus. Some guys come up and say, ‘Hey baby, what’s up?’” However, Lewis said Shanks was different. “He gave me some respect..He’s areal gentleman.” Shanks said that Lewis’s personality was what set her apart from other girls. “She’s the first person I've been around who wants to be around me all the time. We spend every second of every day together.” Shanks said that he didn’t think any relationship was perfect, but “If you can make it through the argument, you can make it. We've gone through a lot together. Even though we have a few problems, we stay together.” “There are some run- ning close seconds, but their love can’t com- pare to ours.” | Elaine Lewis | AFTER taking a stroll around campus, Shanks and Lewis share a laugh together.

The idea caught on and they decided to do it again next year. They called it Halloween, and the tradition continues... On the hill, the Halloween tradition meant a break from the mounting midterm pressures. Mark Hobbs, a Louisville sophomore, said, “Hal- loween is a good opportunity to dress up and act really bizarre for a night and not worry about what people think about it. ” Other parties took on a more subdued nature. The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon chose to forgo a large party and opted instead for a “Horror Movie Night.” Tommy Tinsley, a Central City senior, said, “It’s great; we have a Halloween activity without alcohol. It’s just some guys, not dressed up, watching movies.” Holding with tradition, the University Center Board sponsored Hilloween at the Downing Univer- sity Center. Among the events held were: costume contests, pumpkin-carving contests and root beer chugging duels. The unversity center also ran a special late-night showing of “The Fog.” “Hilloween provides a way for the underclassmen to escape to be absurd,” Stan Reagan, a Tompkinsville senior, said. “I didn't have time to go elsewhere. I had a lot of work to do,” Billy Froggett, a Metcalfe county soph- omore, said. “But this is great. There’s music, cos- tumes and girls. What more could you want?” The costumes of the evening ranged from the usual vampires and werewolves to the latest media cel- ebrities like Rambo and Madonna. Some of the more unusual costumes were presented by students dressing up as administration officals or inanimate objects. . a - ae : 6 OF i saat “It’s college, so we decided to be half a sixpack,” Michille Hurm, a Philpot freshman, said. While many people were having parties for the holiday, some organizations were having haunted houses for charity. The Sigma Kappa sorority teamed up with Phi Delta Theta fraternity to put on one such house. Phi Delt Bernie Giudice, a Louisville soph- omore, said, “We thought it would be a good way to let the community know that we care.” Sigma Kappa Vicky Goulden, a Bowling Green junior, said, “We really enjoyed putting on the haunted house, and several hundred dollars were raised for our phil- anthropy, The United Way.” At the same time some people were experiencing planned hauntings, other groups were experiencing ghostly encounters of a different kind. Some of Dr. Lynwood Montell’s natural phenomenon folklore class spent the night in a haunted house in Breckinridge County. According to legend, a man had died mys- teriously in the house that was later plagued by inanimate objects that moved and unexplicable noises. Eventually the man’s wife moved out leaving behind all her possesions. The house has remained vacant for the past 50 years. . It was these disturbances that led the class to investigate. “When we got to the house, two mem- bers of the class seemed puzzled. They told us that they had gotten to the house the day before and stuck a big hunting knife in the door to frighten the class but it (the knife) was gone. When the dawn came we were glad to go home,” Ron Lafferty, a Munfordsville sophomore, said. Halloween has changed some. The pagans may be gone and people don’t party much with specters but the tradition of Halloween on the hill continued. - —_ hy A CHAINSAW encounter seems inevitable at a Halloween haunted house.

Rubbing the rock on her face was supposed to make Leasor more aware of ob- jects. OZ Women’s Selt-Detense CAMPUS SAFETY was a big issue, as two women were assaulted in April within two weeks of each other, both on campus and near the university. Students pushed for more lighting on campus and women started to attend the rape-awareness programs sponsored in dormitories. And, more women used the escort service. They also learned to defend themselves ina university class—self-defense for women. In a resolution on April 10, ASG asked for more lighting in 11 spots on campus. And in an April 15 editorial, The Herald supported the resolution, saying that it would be cheap to get more lights as compared to more officers. It would cost between $500 and $750 for each new lamppost and cost about $36.50 to operate for a year. “A small price to pay for safety,” the editorial noted. Safety was on the minds of the women who attended the rape-awarness programs. They learned that about 80 percent of rapes are commited by acquaintances or friends. The main focus of these programs was how to avoid potentially dangerous situations. Mike Shacklette, a self-defense course instructor, agreed with the prevention programs, but taught his students how to respond if they were being attacked. Shacklette taught a self-defense class at Western for about 20 women. The class was not a traditional lecture-and-take- notes class, but one of action and intense con- centration. Shacklette said,.“I teach the class so that the information is passed on and used.” But, he cautioned the women who thought they could come to class the first night and conquer the world on the way home. He said the basic techniques had to be practiced continually. A woman who tried a move she had not really practiced could get into trouble. For instance, a hand that she tried to chop with could be grabbed and twisted behind her back. So it was important to practice the moves with the same amount of force used going backward as there was going forward. Shacklette constantly reminded the women in his class about this factor. He told his students “to fight back mentally, verbally, and if necessary, physically.” He said, “If a woman really knows some self- defense moves, then she should use them,” but pre- faced this by saying she shouldn’t physically fight back if the person is armed. Before using force, a woman should first try using her purse, car keys or books to fend off her attacker. Shacklette said that throwing something in the air is a good idea because people tend to look up when that happens. The split second not focused on the victim could be used to get away. If a woman does use force, she should remember that the eyes and the groin are the most vulnerable areas, in addition to the neck. The eyes could be poked by a quick forward jab of an open horizontal hand. But the groin was more accessible. So he told his class to use the “scoop-water-out-of- the-well technique.” The women forced their arms in a down swing and back up in one quick motion, keeping their fists clenched, thumbs up. Mary Blandford, a Loretto sophomore, said this would be one of the moves she could use. Shacklette also taught the women how to respond if they were grabbed from behind. The women were each clenched in a bear hug by an assailant and were supposed to get away. To accomplish this, the woman inhaled to loosen the assailant’s hold and allowing the woman to slip down. Then she brought an elbow over one of the assailant’s arms, moving her free hand to his shoulder, grabbing it and dropping one knee. This action brought the momentum forward and usually allowed her to flip the assailant to the ground. Shacklette said that although the class warmed up for these moves, a woman just walking on the street, who knew the moves, should be able to perform them with the same effectiveness. He said the best advice he would give to women was to try and avoid dangerous situations. Women should walk in groups of three or more and be more aware of their surroundings. Blandford said learning to be cautious was worth while. “One time I was walking in front of DUC and some guys in a truck slowly drove by and started saying lewd things. Then they pulled over and stopped. But since I was more aware of the things that were going on, I crossed the street.” Blandford knew enough to avoid a possibly danger- ous situation. Susan Quisenberry, a Lexington senior, said that she is thankful that she hasn’t had to use any of the techniques that she learned in class. “But I’m sure there are certain things that I could use if I had to. I’m glad that I took it, and I would recommend it to any girl,” she said. She added that the class has made her more cautious about walking alone. Women don’t have to walk alone, however. They can use the escort service. Paul Bunch, director of safety and security, ini- tiated the program when he came to Western. Student volunteers would escort women on campus between dusk and midnight. After that, University Police could be called for an escort. The trend for Western women was that it was better to be safe than sorry as more women actively took control of their lives. A) HUDDLED AROUND a candle, the class meditates.

Women’s Self-Defense Pet CEN Re HOMECOMING 1985 was a taste of the 50s from every aspect with a nostalgic “Rockin’ Around the Clock” theme and a 50-degree-weather weekend. The rain and cold made for Homecoming weather that was “the pits,” Louisville junior Leigh DeWeese said. “It was miserable for everyone to get out in.” However, DeWeese said she thought Homecoming activities were great. “It was fun to see all the greeks _get out and participate.” Deweese turned out to show her school spirit as she waved the banner for her sorority, Sigma Kappa, at Big Red’s Rockin’ Roar. Big Red’s Rockin’ Roar kicked off Homecoming activities with an evening of fun, 5Os-style, as Suede, a B five-piece rock band from Cincinnati, performed be- fore the low turnout in Diddle Arena. Suede delivered such oldies as “Heatwave,” but also some more com- By TERRI 34 Homecoming —Gary Clark WHILE PORTRAYING Big Red, Scott Vick, a Springfield, Ill., senior, poses for a picture with his mother and a friend.

Big Red's Rockin’ Roar included skits spoofing “Happy Days,” life as the statue of Henry Hardin Cherry and a book-checker at the library who mowed down a student witha machine gun when he refused to let his backpack be checked. The comedy continued as Tim Settimi, National Association of Campus Activities’ Performing Artist —Gary Clark PRIOR TO being crowned Homecoming Queen, Tara Wassom, a Fr.

Setimmi also skated onto the stage just before breakdancing his way back onto the floor. Settimi, a comedian, mime and musician, made cracks about dorm pranks and led a sing-along with the theme to the “Brady Bunch.” “Everybody's got a little kid inside of them,” Settimi said. “Some of us just get paid to let that little kid out.” Big Red’s Rockin’ Roar drew to a smoky close as flashpots and fireworks lighted up Diddle Arena and confetti bombs showered down paper. Jo Verner, assistant professor of recreation and co-producer of Big Red’s Roar, said the low turnout was disappointing. “Too much was going on at one time. Instead of trying to compete with each other, we (campus organizations) should cooperate,” Verner —T.J.

Verner also said the bad sound system in Diddle Arena and, of course, bad weather hurt attendance. However, Verner said she is proud of the students who began work on the show in August. As for next year, “It's going to grow,” she said. The 50s theme continued with the Homecoming parade and floats related to 50s music. Delta Sigma Pi won the first-place Regent's Award for their float, “On Hilltopper Hill.” Second place went to “Western Bandstand” by Chi Omega sorority, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Chi fraternities.

The float was pulled by a ‘56 Chevy. Fourth place went to the “Leader of the Pack” float sponsored by Pearce-Ford Tower and Poland Hall. “Barbeque Under the Big Top” after the parade was a new venture in Homecoming activities that also suffered from the weather. The barbeque had orig- inally been planned to provide an outdoor dinner on the north lawn of Downing University Center with live entertainment featuring the Earnie Small Blues Band from Bowling Green. Tables were moved from the lawn to the walkway on the north side of the building and very few of the barbeque’s 100 ticket holders chose to brave the chilly winds. But a little cold weather and soggy ground won't Staite put a damper on next year’s plans for the barbeque. “We're definitely going to do it again next year,’ Frieda Eggleton, vice chairperson of Homecoming, + said. “We feel that the weather hampered the crowd, but we feel good about the effort. What we didn’t plan on was the 50-degree weather.” The Homecoming game was a surprise for many, including the parents of Homecoming Queen Tara Wassom, a Ft. Campbell senior, who didn’t even know that Wassom was in the running until they arrived from Ft. Campbell. “The neatest thing I thought about it (being queen) was that my folks were there. I think it meant a lot to my father,” Wassom said. Wassom was sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Chi fraternities and Chi Omega sorority. First runner-up was Laura McClellan, a Louisville senior sponsored by Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Kappa Alpha fraternity. Becky McCormick, a Hendersonville, Tenn., senior, took second runner-up. McCormick was spon- sored by Kappa Delta sorority and Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Another surprise that Homecoming had in store was that the football team pulled the game out from under Morehead State University in the last half, beating them 26-13. About half of the game’s 10,000 Spectators remained after half-time. The Homecoming celebration carried on into the night, including a new venture by University Center Board. Suede, billed as “anyone’s answer to a slow night,” was the answer for the 50 people who showed up for the dance University Center Board sponsored at Garrett Ballroom. As for Homecoming 1985 overall, “I think it went really well, especially since we won the gare,” Wassom said. “I think all the activities were well- planned. 4 —Robert Pope ALUMNUS Tommy Holderfield points out a band member during the parade. —Alan Warren BIG RED), riding on a four-wheeler, greets spectators along the Homecoming parade route.

EVER SINCE Jesus gave this commandment to his followers, people have interpreted it hundreds of ways. But for one Lexington senior the interpretation was literal. Through a program called the Kentucky-Kenya Partnership, Susan Quisenberry spent the summer as a missionary for the Southern Baptist Convention in Kenya, Africa. She and five other Kentucky college students, from such schools as Georgetown and University of Louisville, were selected to travel to Kenya as mission- aries. The selection process consisted of filling out a four-page application, interviews with the campus Baptist Student Union minister, and finally an inter- view with a panel of campus ministers and college students. However, for Quisenberry, the hardest part of the selection process was “deciding to apply. I never wanted to go overseas for missions,” she said. While attending a BSU convention, Quisenberry —HPhotos courtesy of Susan Quisenberry THE EXCLUSIVE mt. Kenya Safari Club in Nanyuki is not typical of Kenya. Quisenberry spent an afternoon viewing the large animal preserve and swimming. heard Dr. Kenneth Parks, president of the foreign missions board, speak on the need for overseas mis- sionaries. “I prayed about it and talked to my parents about it. Once I made the decision to go, I knew I was going,” she said. The trip was financed by a fund raised by BSUs across the state. All of Quisenberry’s expenses were paid and she was also given a small salary. She spent six weeks i n the town of Nyeri where she and three other Kentucky students lived in the home of a full-time missionary. Mornings were spent doing housework, and in the afternoons, the group did programs in the schools. Since there is no television in that area of Kenya, Quisenberry said she and her partners spent a lot of time playing spades. Near the end of her stay, Quisenberry attended a meeting for Southern Baptist missionaries serving in Kenya. While the full-time missionaries were in business meetings, she taught vacation Bible school to their children. “That was probably the highlight of my trip. I enjoyed just seeing the missionaries and getting to know them,” she said. THE FIRST DAY in Kenya, Quisenberry visits the Kenya Baptist Mission headquarters in Nairobi. The headquarters had a publications and communications center that served East Africa. PRIMARY SCHOOL children sing to 4 express their appreciation for the summer mis- sionaries’ program.

First, the red-carpet treatment—literally. “Lord and Lady Tomlinson,” Lord Chamberlain said as he introduced the guests as they arrived at Garrett Con- ference Center Ballroom. “Lord and Lady Palmer,” he continued until the guests were seated in the ballroom that was decorated to look like the dining hall of a Renaissance king’s mansion. The red carpet led to the stage where the actors were seated. Lord Chamberlain and “His Lordship’s Musicians,” the entertainers for this Renaissance festivity, were just a few of the characters in Western’s first-ever production of “A Christmas Madrigal Feast.” The dinner was presented by the Department of Music, Department of Communication and Theatre and Food Services. The festivities were repeated for three nights, Dec. 5-7, to sold-out audiences of 250 per night. The tickets, going for $12.50, were sold out three weeks in advance, according to Dr. Kenneth Davis, musical director for the show. The number of tickets was regulated by Food Services according to the number of people they thought they could accommodate. Madrigals are songs written for small groups and date back to the 16th century. The Madrigal Feast is a modern creation, rooted in several Renaissance and Medieval traditions. Davis said the Madrigal Feast was a “natural com- bination of singing, dancing and theater” and that it was a project “we thought would work really well.” Davis said the idea to have a Madrigal Feast was presented to Food Services in the first part of 1985. “We've actually been making plans since last April,” Davis said. The Madrigal Feast, signaling the beginning of the Christmas season, began with the processional of “His Lordship’s Guests” entering the hall. After the “guests” were introduced by Lord Chamberlain, the singers welcomed the audience with a song. The court jester then reminded the audience of etiquette for the meal. “Guests must not have dirty nails,” he said, and they “must not tell unseemly tales at the table.” The waiters and waitresses, dressed in Medieval costumes, lit the candles at each table before the serving of the meal. The candles represented the Christ child and as the candles were lit, the “guests” sang “Silent Night.” With the toast to rhe Christmas season, all guests enjoyed a glass of Wassail, thus beginning the actual feast. Wassail is a drink that consists of ale that is sweetened with sugar and mixed with nutmeg or cinnamon. In addition to the Wassail, the menu included salad, roast sirloin with yorkshire pudding, oven- browned potatoes, green beans almondine and plum pudding for dessert. Davis said the serving of plum pudding is a “strong tradition in England.” He said that most madrigal feasts serve plum pudding for dessert. Throughout the dinner, the audience was serenaded with familiar carols by singers and musicians traveling from table to table. The dinner party performed a mini-concert. of mad- rigals and songs and then joined the audience for “The First Noel” to conclude the evening. The Duke and Duchess excused themselves and invited everyone back next year to enjoy the feast once again. And according to Davis, a performance of the “Feast” next Christmas is very probable. Davis said he was “very encouraged from the response we received.” He said the show raised enough money “to put it on again next year.” Beverly Veenker, drama director and chorographer for the show, said she “wouldn’t be surprised” if the Madrigal Feast were performed again next year. Veenker said, “I had never seen a madrigal dinner before” and that worried her. But she said she was pleased with the performances “especially since it was the first one and we were flying blind.” Stan Paschal, Scottsville senior and alias Lord Chamberlain, said the cast really enjoyed performing and that “for me, it was fun all the time.” The madrigal dinner “gave me good acting experi- ence,” Paschal said. This was Paschal’s first role involving only spoken parts. Paschal said that when the actors rehearsed with all the costumes, it “heightened the experience for every- one.” All of the costumes were made by members of the theater department, Veenker said. “Some we had in stock,” one girl already had a costume, and the rest of the Renaissance-style costumes were made especially for the dinner, she said. Mrs. Howard Surface, a Bowling Gre en resident who attended the feast, said the dinner was “without a doubt, one of the most exciting events I’ve ever attended at Western.” Surface also said that the atmosphere—a com- bination of costumes, music, dance and food—was “infectious...The only thing to keep me from going again would be a serious scheduling conflict!” F ger cee A BLEND OF music, dance and drama brings the Renaissance alive during the production of “A Christmas Madrigal Feast.” The feast had three performances to sold-out audiences of 250.

A STAR IS BORN AGAIN By JOE KONIAK Photos by SCOTT WISEMAN 42 Jesus Christ Superstar AS THE urtain rose on “Jesus Christ Superstar,” the audience looked and looked again. What they were watching was not a rerun of the ‘70s rock opera; instead it was “Jesus Christ Superstar ” a la MTV. The upbeat music, the new-wave dance, the flow- ing vocals, and the oversized-look costumes were examples of revisions Dr. William Leonard, head of the communication and theater department and direc- tor of the show, made to appeal to the 80s audience. “In the original work, everything is ’70s style,” Leonard said. “Everything we've done in this work is in keeping with the ’80s styles all the way.” To put together “Jesus Christ Superstar,” the major theater production of the year, it took the help of more than just the theater, dance or music departments—it took a unified effort of all three. “We finally got the three departments together,” Mollie Oldham, a Gallatin, Tenn., freshman, said. “There has been friction between these departments in the past and now there’s a sense of unity. We can finally doa whole production together.” Bart Lovins, a Bowling Green junior who played the part of Judas in the rock-opera, said, “I don’t think that the cast or crew could be happier. There was a time when we all wondered if the audience was going to get up and throw tomatoes at us.” Lovins recalled the opening-night performance where the audience “thought they were in church” the whole first act because of the biblical overtones, but by Act 2, the audience realized that “it was okay to applaud—a lot of people think it’s not okay to applaud in church.” Other members of the cast shared those feelings of accomplishment after standing ovations and a tear- jerking final performance that brought the audience to their feet again. “I was crying so hard I couldn’t see,” Carmen Thornton, a Bowling Green sophomore, said. Thorn- ton played in various roles such as a leper and a soul girl. “Jesus Christ Superstar” grew in attendance throughout its four-day run from Feb. 27 to March 2, with an audience just shy of filling Van Meter Audi- tortum that attended the March 2 matinee per- formance. While MTV-like throughout “Jesus Christ Superstar,” scenes like images were incorporated “Herod’s Song” were examples of the most noticeable differences between this show and the ’70s pro- duction. “In the movie Herod hardly danced and he was more of a womanizer,” Troy Lambert, a Louisville sophomore, said. In his role as Herod, Lambert dressed more like Wham’s George Michaels than the biblical character. “I took a much more vaudevillian approach and I added a lot more soul to the part,” Lambert said. In looking for that Wham image, costume designer Herbe Donald, a Nashville, Tenn., senior, gave the cast the advice to simply “wear what they would wear to a bar,” with the exception of Jesus, who took a traditional look, and the apostles, who wore special T-shirts made to reflect each apostle’s individual character. After the crowd had drifted out of Van Meter Auditorium and the cast stood singing its final fare- wells to each other, a proud smile shined across the face of Jennifer Drury, a Gilbertsville junior. “We haven't had a negative comment during the whole run of the show,” Drury, who played the part of Mary Magdalene, said. “I’ve enjoyed doing this show more than any other show Ive ever been in.” TO PREPARE for his role, Williams combs out his wig. The play was the major theater production of the year. ‘“‘There was a time when we all wondered if the audience was going to get up and throw to- matoes at us.”’ HEROD'S SONG was performed by Troy Lambert, a Louisville sophomore.

Another young man was a lonely transfer student who needed a hobby. But, however it began, the fitness craze on campus had hit. “The weight room is so occupied that it is difficult to get a workout at times,” Fay Hoots, a weightlifting instructor, said. And by standing in the hub of physical fitness activity—Diddle Arena—the popularity of the weight room as well as the intramural program was evident. About 5,000 students participated in the intra- mural program which offered over 25 sports. Dormi- tory residents and greeks made up the largest percentage of teams which competed in tournaments organized by campus recreation. “I first competed as a dorm resident in the intra- mural football program and then as a member of Sigma Nu,” Bob Bashwiner said. Bashwiner, a West Palm Beach, Fla., junior, also has been a WKU yell leader. “I just think it’s really important to keep active and not just go to class and sit,” he said. Scotty Vance, a Bowling Green senior, agreed with Bashwiner. Vance coached junior high and high school students in Glasgow. “It's fulfilling to see youth developing competitively and physically,” Vance said. “It’s also a good way for me to keep in shape and earn some extra income,” he said. When Willie Brown transferred to Western, his loneliness led him to the weightlifting room and —James Borchuck WOMEN’S intramural director Chris En glish shoulder shrugs 235 pounds in the Smith Stadium weight room. He lifted weights three times per week. track. “I had no friends and needed a hobby,” the St. Louis, Mo., senior, said. Brown’s hobby also led to results in his appearance. “I went from 170 pounds to 210 pounds,” the muscle-bound student said. “It just gives mea lot of energy.” While college students weren’t known for their interest in nutrition, Western did offer a nutrition class. “When I took it, I learned a lot,” Debbie Dough- erty, a Hopkinsville senior, said. “I don’t always follow what they taught me, though,” she said. Women were no longer an uncommon sight to the fitness scene. Hoots taught male and female weightlif- ting and figure improvement classes. “If you don’t feel good about your insides, then you just can’t excel,” Hoots said. “The self-esteem and respect can make a different person.” “It’s easy to get hooked on weightlifting and: run- ning,” Jeri Whitenack, a Fort Wayne, Ind., soph- omore, said. “Tt relieves stress and I feel better about my body,” she said. Whitenack was involved in track, cross country and gymnastics in high school but wanted something different in college. “I was a power-lifter for a while, but now I just lift to tone muscles,” she said. “It’s great to see so many students taking an interest in their appearance,” Hoots said. “It just creates a positive attitude,” she said.

Bodies clad in shorts huddled under an outdoor shelter in Lampkin Park, waiting for the beginning of Greek Week. Gray clouds or no, the greeks were there to have fun and a little healthy competition. “The participants in Greek Week are really into greek unity,” Dave Roberts, Lambda Chi Alpha’s greek week chairman, said. “It’s a time for us to pull together,” the Bowling Green junior added. The smell of pancakes drifted from the shelter where the first event, the pancake breakfast, was held. Winning, even at a pancake breakfast, was based on the greatest percentage of a greek organization at- tending. Kappa Delta and Delta Tau Delta claimed first. “The pancake breakfast is used to fund what we do in Greek Week. It covers the cost of awards, rental of Lampkin, stuff like that,” Overall Greek Week chairman David Jones, a Bowling Green senior, said. At 10 a.m., swarms of colored jerseys headed to the park’s tennis courts where three volleyball nets were set up. Coed volleyball allowed greeks from the differ- ent sororities and fraternities to pull together on one team, all for fun, as there were no Greek Week points given. Another event that was solely for the fun of it was the “Greek Games.” As in volleyball, mixed teams competed in games such as “pass the orange” and “the dizzy lizzy.” “It’s hard to ask people to get up on Saturday morning and spend all day out here,” Jones said. “But I think it went pretty well,” he said. After the games ended, it was time to get serious again—serious about winning points. Beds put together by each organization filled the parking lot. Judges searching for the best decorated bed walked through the crowd. ADPi won the sorority division with a bed featuring a human statue of Henry Hardin Cherry. “I thought of the idea for the bed. It was just a scream,” Alpha Delta Pi Greek Week chairman Laura McClellan, a Louisville senior, said. KA received the best bed decoration for the fraternities. As soon as judging was completed, decorations were stripped from the beds to prepare them for the bed race. AGRs and Phi Mus took first place in the event. “The crowd likes the one-on-one competition of the bed race,” Jones said of the event, which was run in heats. “It’s a chance for the fraternities to especially toot their own horn and say ‘See what we can do?” Jones said. On Monday, DUC was transformed into a showcase for the banner competition. The theme for Greek Week, “The Spirit Makes Us Greek,” was featured. Kappa Delta and AGR won. The blood drive also began on Monday and was continued on Tuesday. Like the pancake breakfast, points were based on the percentage of members who gave blood. The blood drive was successful as it broke last year’s record of 521 units. This year, 643 units THE TUG-O-WAR puts a strain on Cheryl Anderson, a freshman from Versailles, and her sorority sisters. The ADPis won the event during Greek Week. —Greg Lovett a eee —eEEeEEeEeEeeeee SE Se were donated. “Everyone was required to give blood. If they didn’t, they were supposed to get someone to give for them. It worked pretty well,” Roberts said. KD and AGR each placed first again. Greek Feud, a competition based on the TV game show “Card Sharks” also began on Monday and lasted through Tuesday. The KDs and the Phi Delta Theta fraternity team captured the top spots. ADPis dressed as the “AD Boofs”, McClellan said. “It was fun. We tried to be the tacky group with bangle bracelets, lots of hairspray and popping gum,” she said of their attempt to show spirit. On Wednesday afternoon, the greeks gathered outside DUC for the Penny Drive. Two people per team pitched pennies into a small, plastic trash can from 10 feet away. “The money from the penny drive goes to scholarships for greeks,” Jones said. The team with the largest number of pennies in the trash can won. Phi Muand AGR placed first. The softball tournament was played on Thursday of Greek Week. This year, only fraternities competed. Sigma Chi won first. Friday, the last day of the competition, was host to the most strenuous event—tug-o-war. ADPi proved victorious in their division, with Phi Mu receiving second and AOPi taking the remaining spot. The Sigma Chis won the fraternity division. KA captured second place and AGR took third. Many teams had spent weeks practicing and pre- paring for the highly-competitive tug-o-war. “Our —continued on page 48 PHI MUS kim Rockwell, a Vine Grove sophomore, Dana Wheat, a Louis- ville freshman, and Sandy Morrison, a Louisville sophomore, perform at Spring Sing.

The sororities and fraternities were recognized with plaques and trophies for winning the events of the previous weeks. In addition to these awards, the Interfraternity Coun- cil and Panhellenic recognized the groups who ex- celled in certain areas. “T think the awards ceremony was fantastic. We opened people’s eyes to our philanthropic events,” Jones said. “We said, ‘We can do more than party and this is what we do.” Panhellenic presented AOPi and KD with the Outstanding Alumnae Program. The awards for Excellence in Chapter Program, Best Pledge Pro- gramming and Intergreek Relations were given to KD. The ADPi won honors for Outstanding Comm- unity Service. They tied with AZD for the Out- standing Adviser Award. AZD was also the recipient of the Most Improved Chapter Award. This award placed an emphasis on scholarship and membership. IN THE BED RACE, Cullen Page, a Carlisle, Ind., freshman, gives that extra effort for Alpha Gamma Rho. The effort paid off as the AGRs placed first in the bed race competition for the fraternities. Next came the fraternity awards. Kappa Sigma’s adviser, Lt. Col. Kent Kluever, received the Out- standing Chapter Adviser Award from Interfraternity Council. The Lambda Chis were honored for Excel- lence in Community Service. The Taylor Wright Most Improved Chapter went to Kappa Sigma and the M. Reed Morgan Award for chapter excellence in 11 areas was awarded to the brothers of Delta Tau Delta. The award for Outstanding Greek Woman went to Phi Mu Jessica Rappaport, a Clearwater, Fla., senior. Ben Wathen, a Bardstown senior, KA and Inter- fraternity Council president, received recognition as Outstanding Greek Man. Awards for Outstanding Participation in the Greek Symposium were also given to the Phi Delts and AZDs. Finally, the Overall and Spirit awards were given to KD and AGR. In the sorority division, Phi Mu was awarded second and third went to AOPi. Lambda Chi received second and Delta Tau Delta took third overall in the fraternity division. The convocation closed with a short speech from WKU’s president, Kern Alexander. “Dr. Alexander had no concept that greeks had done so much. He was really impressed,” Jones said. Roberts said, “I don’t know where the push started, but this year there has been a push for greeks to act as one group. Greek Week is our reward—to have one long week of good greek activities.” A) SOPHOMORES Doug Wilkie, of New Orleans, La., Karen Poindexter and Julie Perkins, both of Bowling Green, play human pretzel.

The heat Kevin Eans Kevin Eans WHEN STUDENTS arrived on cam- pus in August, they found many changes in their dorm, sweet dorm. The university had opened a few doors but disconnected some other things as well. Residents found coed housing, more liberal open house hours and several smaller changes that shifted more responsibility to students—responsibility students readily accepted. The idea of a coed dorm floated around Western for several years, but the fall of 1985 saw that idea’s realization. Poland Hall became the campus’ first dorm to house both men and women. Rumors of separate elevators and armed guards proved to be false. Except for earlier open house hours and no guest check-in at the desk, policies at Poland were just like those at other dorms. Sean Peck, a Gilbertsville senior, said that coed housing was “...a definite change. It seems like they give youa little more respect as an adult.” He also said that requiring residents to be at least sophomores was a good idea. “Freshmen don’t need to be here. They need to get used to the idea of being away from home before they get into coed living.” Poland’s more relaxed, upperclass atmosphere at- tracted Kathy Hardin, a Bardstown junior, when she had to move back from off-campus housing. “I thought Western would be the last place on earth to have coed housing,” she said. McCormack Hall director Janice McCarty said that open house rules when she was an RA in the mid-70s allowed only weekend visitation with room doors left open as a monitor patrolled the halls. Visitation hours were expanded to 12 hours on weekdays and 14 hours on weekends. McCarty said, “I think what they've done is good. It gives the students a feeling of trust by giving them more responsibility.” Tommy Lynn, a Paducah freshman, said that he liked the new rules. “You get to have a girl in your room until 12 or 2; you really can’t beat that.” But, Lynn said, 24-hour open house wouldn’t work because, “Guys need their privacy as well as girls do.” In another quest for privacy, more students opted for private rooms. Laurel Shoborg, a Paducah senior, said, “I’m an accounting major and it’s easier to study when you can close the door and not have to be around someone else.” A larger than expected number of private room requests led administrators to reopen East Hall, which had closed in spring 1984 as a men’s dorm, to house women. Even though some of the amenities of a women’s residence hall had yet to be added when she moved in, Rowena Cameron, a Fordsville freshman, said that after a while she “got adjusted to it.” While women moving into East Hall found urinals covered with wooden boxes in their bathrooms, students all across campus returned from vacation to find only a modular jack where their phones had been the semester before. Western had pulled the plug on the phones in an effort to keep from raising housing fees and save over $70,000 on phone rental. Students could bring their own phone or could buy one from a local firm that contracted with Western to sell phones. Mary Degalliford, a Franklin sophomore, said, “I got mine through the university. They're about half that (price) at Wal-Mart, but I think it’s a better phone.” For the first time, students were allowed to have microwave ovens in their rooms. Saving time was a major concern for microwave owners. “If you want just a hamburger,” Mark Eckler, a Taylorsville senior said, “you just throw it in and go about your business. “It prevents you from going to the kitchen with a skillet. ) James Borchuck PURSUING TRIVIA, sophomores Julie Black of Athens, Ga., Rob Weinle of Cincinnati, Lori Revlett of Calhoun and Julie Burke of Louisville, play a game.

Spirit Masters, c heer- leaders, pep bands, reporters, teachers and admin- istrators boarded the buses. The air was filled with the nervous excitement that surrounds such an event. Before the cheering began and the banners were hung, the group had a three-hour journey ahead of them. They weren’t heading toward a sporting event or a convention, but something many considered more important—a state-wide rally for higher education, sponsored by the Kentucky Advocates for Higher Education on Feb. 6. “It was time for the students to voice opinions; to show legislators that we, as a student body, care,” Pamela Brown, a Louisville freshman, said. Brown went with the Spirit Masters to the rally held in Frankfort. “| thought it was great that we united to support such an event,” she said. Every university in the state was represented at the rally held at the civic center. “I hadn’t expected so many students to be there,” Beverly Kirk, a Burkesville sophomore, said. “I thought it'd be administrative-type people. It was super when each of the state’s students cheered together.” Letters were sent from Western’s administration to teachers asking them to excuse students from class to attend the rally, which was held on a Wednesday. “All three of my teachers were lenient and excused me to go. They wished they could go,” Kirk said. Among guests at the rally were Gov. Martha Layne Collins and Carolina, who spoke to the crowd. “Gov. Hunt’s former Gov. James Hunt of North speech had a lot of good things to say about Ken- tucky,” Jeff Felty, a Louisville junior, said. “I would WESTERN PRESIDENT Kern Alexander and regents Mary Ellen Miller, Patsy Judd and Joe Iracane watch the Spirit Dancers. They were in Frankfort for the higher education rally. —Allen Hensley have liked to hear Martha Layne Collins say Western was getting more money though.” Felty attended as a representative of two groups. “I was originally asked to go with the Spirit Masters, to serve as ambassadors to Western,” he said. “As an Alumni Leadership Scholar, 11 other Western students and I escorted Gov. Hunt to the podium.” The effect of the rally was difficult to measure, but the students who attended had high hopes. “I hope and pray it will affect legislation because it got so much publicity,” Brown said. “Any time something like this happens, it will have an effect but not as much as is ever hoped,” Felty said. “I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist. I hope it will have a great effect on the legislation passed to improve Kentucky’s higher education.” Students from all the state’s universities seemed to share Felty’s hopes. “We all want to be a part of Kentucky’s higher education future,” Kirk said. “For once, the state’s universities cheered together for the same cause, instead of against each other at a bas- ketball game.” “I met people from UK and Murray. We talked about our respective universities and they seemed well-informed,” Felty said. When the bands stopped playing, the cheerleaders stopped cheering and the students headed home to their universities. The legislature adjourned into the legislative session—the hoopla had ended. But the rally had brought higher education to the attention of many. “It opened people’s eyes. It said, yes, students do care,” Kirk said.

They played every- thing from Top- 40 to new wave 54 Night Spots IT WAS RELATIVELY simple to spot the symptoms. First, there was the irritability. Noticeable, too, were the raccoon rings under bloodshot eyes, sweaty palms, fingernails chewed to the quick, severe mood swings, restlessness and a tendency to scream at anything that moved. The diagnosis? Fever. Cabin fever to be exact, and an overdose of academics. When classes became a monotonous succession of notes and tests, when the walls were closing in and when spring break had become only a pleasant mem- ory, the need for a diversion, a change of pace, was imminent. And when the day was done, or the weekend arrived, a night out was the cure for many students’ woes. On weeknights and weekends, many traded study lights for neon. Bowling Green offered a number of diversions for students who desired a break from school. There were restaurants; more per capita than any other city in the United States except for Los Angeles. Students had hundreds of choices, from a hamburger and fries to lobster, when it came to deciding where to eat when dining out. There once was a place near campus called Mr. D’s, which served as a hangout for students. Mr. D’s served pizza and good times for 18 years, until it closed last summer. Many mourned the loss of “their place.” Then, a family from New York came to town, and Reno’s Pizzeria opened the doors of the Mr. D's building. Owner Mike Reno and manager Bill Wood felt few changes were necessary when the transition from Mr. D’s to Reno’s was made. Wood, who had worked at the restaurant when it was Mr. D’s, said they wanted to give their customers “the same atmosphere as before.” “Before, it was a handy place, close to campus,” he said. “And now we want it to be like it used to be. We want to give college students a good place to come and eat, and if they want to bring their books along with them to study awhile, fine. They're welcome to stay.” Reno, 21, said that like any family business, the work didn’t always seem like work. “It’s not like coming to work at all,” he said. “It’s like coming to have fun. It’s really a fun atmosphere.” If dining out wasn’t on the night-out menu, night- clubs were yet another option. And there were several nightclubs in Bowling Green which had a particular appeal to students. Picasso’s drew large crowds of students in search on entertainment and fun. Many of the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, for instance, met at —continued on page 56 TOM ARNEMANN, a Franklin senior; Chris Mincey, a Franklin senior, and Kelly Thurmon, a Franklin junior, enjoy the drinks and music at Picasso's.

It’s a nice place.” Bailey said the Ken Smith Band was most likely the favorite band that played at Picasso’s. -. saicuael S Pub, another night spot, the “Cheese” drew big crowds. Government Cheese—a band, and not a featured menu item—had a large following among students, said Mark Brennan, an Overland Park, Kan., sophomore. “They're certainly up and coming,” he said. “They play a dozen or so songs of their own, and music from U2, REM, and Jason and the Scorchers.” Brennan came to Michael’s Pub for other bands as well, and he praised the Pub’s choice of bands which included Picture This and The Questionnaires. “They pull in bands you don’t see much around here,” he said. “The music is progressive, or even punk-like, which is good to dance to. And they're a break from the Top 40 music on the radio, which all sounds like disco to me.” Runway 5 had a somewhat different audience, and a different choice of bands. Shannon Frakes, a Leitch- field sophomore, said rock and Top 40 were the types of music she went to Runway to hear. Some of the more frequently featured bands included the Jeff Allen Band and Speedster. “The bands usually play Top 40, and when there’s not a band, they’ve got a disc jockey, but the music is almost always Top 40,” she said. Frakes frequented Runway on Friday nights, mostly for the entertainment as well as the “bigger, better” dance floor. Doug Thomas, a Lebanon junior, went to Runway for other reasons. “IT usually go every other week on Thursday nights,” he said. “There’s more people there, and more of a college crowd. And I go for the dollar pitchers, too,” he said, laughing. A) ‘‘Before, it was a handy place, close to campus. And now we want it to _ be like it used to be.

They were an international educational and cultural organization that traveled to 30 cities and 14 countries. —Steve Hanks 58 Fine Arts All A UNIVERSITY where the nick- name used to be the “Hillbillies,” one might expect to find it culturally poor. However, performances by violinist Elmar Oliveira and the cast of “Up with People” disproved this notion. The year began on a down-note for the culturally astute when Dr. Ward Hellstrom, dean of Potter College, announced that Western’s annual Fine Arts Festival would be canceled due to lack of funds. In the past 12 years, the festival had featured performances by the Leningrad Symphony, the Moscow Phil- harmonic and the Vienna Choir Boys. But, all of that changed when the Nashville Symphony and special guest Oliveira came to town. Oliveira, the first American to win the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, brought his violin, made in 1628 by Italian craftsman Antonio Stradivari. The evening began with the classical rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Then Oliveira took the stage and performed for 30 minutes. After he finished, the symphony completed the performance. During the spring semester, most of the events included performances by local groups. For instance, in February, the University Jazz Ensemble and the Western Show Choir united for a concert for the first time. It was also the first time the show choir had performed since they were disbanded years ago. Danny Mobbs, a Louisville freshaman, said of the show, “I thought the audience really, really enjoyed it. It gave them a view of how the two could combine and give a really entertaining show. I know that they plan on doing more shows like this in the future with more preparation time than they had this year.” Mobbs, a member of the show choir, said that he thought the show would be back next year. “I think that the way it went over, it will be a growing tradition.” Whereas the joint jazz ensemble show choir con- cert contained music from the past, such as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” Up with People brought their “Beat of the Future” to the Agriculture Exposition Center. The 120-member cast 25-year-olds from 14 countries. They traveled to 30 American cities, as well as overseas. And their per- formance, sponsored by the Bowling Green Realtors Association, contained flair as well. The cast per- formed African tribal dances, Mexican melodies, a Japanese song and an American country western song. consisted of 18- to The show also contained a varying time frame. Songs such as the charleston took the audience into the past, complete with war songs, Glenn Miller, poodle skirts and greased-back hair. The cast also predicted the top-four songs of the year 3000 and songwriting computers. In another show that mixed oldies with con- temporary, “An Evening of Dance,” provided students and the community with an opportunity to view classical, jazz and modern dance. The performance was the highlight of the year for members of the WKU Dance Company. Debra Bald- auff, company manager and a Louisville senior, said that ticket sales were the same or better than in previous years. “I think we're getting more students this year, though.” “I would say the students enjoyed the jazz and modern the best,” Baldauff said about the audiences that attended the show. “But they got to see the classical as well. I think they might have also gotten an appreciation for that type of music.” —Sreve Hanks —Tim Broekema —Kathy Forrester DURING THE annual “Evening of Dance,” the Western Dance Company per- forms to a Brahms piece.

John Cougar Mellencamp might have come to campus had Diddle Arena not been previously booked. And Beach Bash °86, with the Jeff Allen Band, might have been the most suc- cessful concert of the year had 40-degree weather not kept most students away. Sunshine Promotions approached the University Center Board about scheduling a John Cougar Mel- lencamp concert for Feb. 7. But, the arena was already booked, due to a Lady Topper-Cheyney State bas- ketball game. As it turned out, the game was post- poned because the visiting team was snowed in. The performance by the country group the Statler arena did have one major concert—a Brothers. The four-man group are not Statlers and only two of them are brothers, but nearly 4,200 people, mostly non-students, came to listen to their mixture of country and gospel music, as well as jokes and chatter. Tracey Hagan, a Henderson junior, said that though there weren’t many Western students in at- tendance, she thought the crowd had a good time. “The crowd was really into it. It was more or less an older crowd. It probably wasn’t really focused toward Western.” But, the folk group the Smith Sisters are truly sisters and their last name is really Smith. They brought their harmonies to campus in an afternoon concert at the student center. However, the most successful student-pleaser was not a well-known group. Nervous Melvin and the Mistakes, a Louisville-based four-man band, brought their show to campus in connection with the Festival of Fools. Despite rain, nearly 500 students celebrated April Fools’ Day at the dance, held outside of the university center. Gavin Osborne, a Louisville senior, had been a follower of Nervous Melvin for quite some time. “This is the best thing I've seen at Western in a long time. It gives the school a whole different attitude,” he said. Osborne said he felt Western needed more liberal events more often. In another country concert, Dan Seals entertained a crowd of 200 in Van Meter Auditorium. Seals, for- merly of England Dan and John Ford Coley, sang a mixture of old hits and new songs. On his own, Seals has a string of eight Top- 10 Country hits. It was unfortunate that the crowd was small, but only for those who weren’t in attendence, Louisville sophomore Anne Duncan said. “The concert was excellent,” she said. “It was a small crowd, but that was okay for those who were there. I was glad he sang a lot of songs he sang with John Ford Coley. I think a lot of people didn’t realize it was the same person.” Bringing a different kind of rock music to Van Meter, Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart, a con- temporary Christian music band, presented their new style toa crowd of about 700. LeFevre, founder of the rock group Atlanta Rhythm Section, gave the band an intermission while he told what God had done for him and what God could do for the audience. After the concert, the band and several counselors met with 60 persons from the audience for individual discussion concerning God’s importance in their lives. Louisville senior Terry Dean was one of those coun- selors. Dean was impressed with the concert overall, and praised the efforts of LeFevre in reaching people musically as well as spiritually. “It was pretty neat, for contemporary Christian music,” he said. “It was really exciting. I'd never been to anything like it before. He’s really personable with the crowd.” During a “Roomful of Blues” the 10-man dance band played rocking rhythm and blues for a jumping audience in Garrett Ballroom. The band, together for 20 years, played a variety of music from rock and roll to big band, and have backed up Count Basie among others. FESTIVAL OF FOOLS goes on despite the rain.

By producing the risque “Three Sisters from Springfield, Illinois,” and revamping classics like “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “A Christmas Carol,” the theater department was taking a chance. The theater season got underway with the pro- duction of “Rashomon,” based on two Japanese short stories. The action began when three travelers took shelter at the Rashomon gate during a rainstorm. While they waited, they discussed the recent murder ofa Samurai warrior and the rape of his wife. Details of the crime were confused by three versions being told by those involved—the bandit accused of the crime, the wife and the murdered husband who spoke through a psychic. As the travelers recounted their versions, the stories were acted out in a nearby forest. The confusion grew until one of the travelers revealed that all three stories were false. Scott Bryant, an Arlington, Va., sophomore, said that even though he really didn’t like the play, he thought it was “interesting. I thought it started out on the heavy side—wordy. I thought that overall the acting was good.” Bryant also said that he thought the props and the sets were the strength of the production. The advertisement for “Three Sisters from Spring- field, Illinois” contained the note “for mature audi- ences only,” and was accompanied by a XXX rating. The play covered a range of sexual rela- tionships—from intercourse in a library to incest. But much of the performance dealt with the charac- ters’ reasons for their sexual oddities. Michelle Ball, an Anchorage junior who played the part of Sophie, the most conservative of the three sisters, said, “The audience was a pretty varied audi- ence. I don’t remember anybody being overly offended by it. Some people were warned beforehand so they knew what to expect. The show was controversial enough that it could have been really good or it could have been really bad.” In a more traditional production, “A Christmas Carol,” the theater department presented a more humorous version of the classic. The familiar charac- —Allan Hensley ters, Scrooge, Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit were there—but the ghosts were different. The Ghost of Christmas Past was a bag lady. The Ghost of Christ- mas Present was a military man, while the Ghost of Christmas Future had a cold. In the spring’s major production, “Jesus Christ Superstar” was made into an MTV version, complete with upbeat music, oversized costumes and a variety of new songs. For instance, “Herod’s Song” was added to the new version and that character was expanded. Joel Haywood, a Bowling Green sophomore, said he thought the play was “well acted. It was a really good play to get into. It was very upbeat.” Although Haywood said he thought there was a problem with the microphones for the show, he liked what he saw. “I had never seen it before and I got a really good first impression.” As part of children’s theater, classic plays such as “Rumpelstiltskin” and “Winnie the Pooh” were held for the younger audience. Jayne Cravens, a Henderson sophomore, said, “Western’s children’s theater was created for students wanting to learn directing, acting, designing—just about anything in the production of the show. ” As for the season, “This was the best season West- ern’s had in years and I think the exceptionally large audiences showed how exceptionally good the shows were. We broke attendance records this year. We'd like to do that next year.” And, in another play for children, the theater department produced “Arkansas Bear’—the tale of a dancing bear who refused to die because he couldn't find a replacement. Aft er he found a replacement, he resigned himself to dying, while helping a young boy adjust to his grandfather's death. The play was designed to help its young audience learn about death. Debra Baldauff, a Louisville senior, said that she thought the show was a good one because of how it dealt with death. “I think people have trouble dealing with death and I’m sure it helped children to under- stand death a little more. I think the actors did a very good job of portraying their characters.” A) DANCING BEAR Jeff Collins, a Louisville senior, explains to Christian Ely, a Brentwood, Tenn., freshman, and Donna Thorndale, a Lexington freshman, that it is not his time to die.

They were just a few of the topics discussed at university- sponsored lectures. For two days during the fall semester, Russians Sergei Zhuraulev, secretary general of the USSR student council, and Nikita Bantsekin, a journalism professor at the University of Moscow, visited the campus and several classes. The visit was sponsored by the United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War and the University Lecture Series. During an open forum, the two met with about 300 people to discuss the Strategic Defense Initiative and differences between the countries. Sergei told the audience that Russia did not want to take over the world. He felt that many of the problems between the countries arose from Americans’ view of Russians as aggressive. The myth was further exagger- ated by books on the Soviet invasion and movies such as “Rambo.” Less than one week later, Alexandria Penney, au- thor of “How to Make Love to Each Other,” attracted a crowd of more than 450 at the UCB-sponsored lecture. Penney assured her audience that fantasies were normal and that most people have seven to eight fantasies each day. She also said that both men and women have sexual hangups and that both sexes worry about having an orgasm. “Please don’t fake it,” she said. “You're slamming the door on your own pleasure.” Famed psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers came to campus as part of “A Conference for All Women.” The conference was sponsored by HCA Greenview Hos- pital and was designed for women of all ages to discuss problems that women faced. Several history-related subjects were the topics of lectures. In “Hitler and Holocaust,” Alfons Heck, a former Nazi, and Helen Waterford, a Jewish survivor of the Auschwitz death camp, told of their experiences dur- ing World War II. When the war in Germany ended, Heck was sen- tenced to one month of hard labor for his particpation in the Hitler Youth organization. Waterford had a different experience. She and her husband hid in an attic for two years. She was finally PSYCHOLOGIST Dr Joyce Brothers speaks about women's problems during “A Conference for All Women.” Sponsored by a local hospital, the meeting was held on West- erm sc ampus —Kachy Forrester 64 Lectures arrested in 1944 and was sent from Auschwitz to a Czechoslovakian camp. While she was there, the war ended. In a lighter lecture, James Kirkwood, co-author of “A Chorus Line,” shared jokes and read excerpts from his books. About 50 attended the lecture, the first of the University Lecture Series. In another UCB-sponsored lecture, Pulitzer Prize nominee Wallace Terry, author of “Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans,” presented a slide show on his experiences as a Time reporter covering the Vietnam War. After 17 years writing the book and 120 rejection letters from publishers, Terry got the book published. He said he viewed the book as a warning about American involvement in the Middle East and Central America. Just as the Vietnam War was controversial, the “Conversation between Christians and Humanists” had the potential to be volatile. More than 100 students crammed into a small room in the university center to listen to four Western professors discuss subjects from the origin of goodness —Katchy Forrester to the ultimate judge of man. Most of those present came to learn about humanism. Lee Ann Hopkins, director of Bates-Runner Hall, attended the lecture. She said, “Being that I am a Christian, I was obviously on the Christian side.” But she also said that even if she had gone into the lecture without any opinions already formed, she felt she would have sided with the Christians. “It seemed to me that the humanists talked in circles. They had no answers, really. A lot of the things they talked about were a lot of Christian beliefs. They had no real basis for their argument.” One real basis for argument occurred when the Coca-Cola Company announced that it was changing its formula for Coke. Many saw it as the end of an era. Dr. Carl Kell, a professor of communication and theater, saw it as an opportunity to study popular culture. Kell hosted a multimedia presentation entitled “The Rhetoric of New Coke: An American Mystery” which was attended by about 90 students. “People don’t want Classic Coke all the time,” Kell said, “but when they want it—they want it.” —Score Wiseman AT “HITLER AND HOLOCAUST,” former Nazi Alfons Heck and Jewish concentration camp survivor Helen Waterford relate their experiences. It was held at Van Meter Auditorium. JUXTAPOSITIONS often amuse audiences as James Kirkwood Jc. finds out. The co-author of “A Chorus Line” showed his audience an airsick bag which could also be used to mail film in. 65 Lectures Speaking of Spooks traditions that have sometimes seemed sacred at Western have always been preserved. Most students have heard stories of E.A. Diddle and his towel- waving antics and of the original basketball arena where the Helm Library now stands. But the university is more than titles and buildings. It has a darker side, a side which many would dismiss as only ghostlore, passed from gener- ation to generation and exaggerated along the way. However, as university archives can support, on that darkened hill live the memories of past tragedies, the stories of death and mystery. In pre-Civil War times, the “Hill” was called ‘Vinegar Hill’ after Betsy Vinegar, an old moonshiner who lived in a hut on the hill. Her home became a hangout for villians who plotted raids and returned to the hut to divide the loot. One day, Betsy disappeared under strange cir- cumstances; the first of several mysterious occurrences on the hill. THEGHOST OF VAN METER HALL In 1906, Western Kentucky State Normal School and its building took the place of the cherry trees and underbrush. Van Meter Hall was the first building constructed by the school and housed the administrative offices for more than 50 years. Its 2000-seat auditorium has been home to thousands of lectures, plays and concerts. It has also been home toa ghost. During construction of the auditorium, a man, working on the skylight over what is now the stage, was distracted by a plane flying overhead. Since planes were relatively new then, the man looked up, lost his footing, then fell to his death. He landed on the stage and caused a great bloodstain of about 15 square feet. The stage was replaced in the 1950s and again in 1968, but, it was said that the stain soaked up into the new wood. The stain isn’t the only reminder of the construction worker who fell to his death. His ghost has been seen several times in the build- ing. Once, when a student actor was removing his makeup after a play, he noticed the face ofa middle-aged man in the mirror, looking over his shoulder. When he turned around, no one was there. Another incident involving the ghost of Van Meter occurred just prior to opening night ofa student production. After dress rehearsal, the lead actor was told to come in around 7 p.m. to 66 Ghosts have his makeup applied. After the actor left, the director realized that the actor needed to come in an hour earlier. He tried all day to get in touch with the actor, but never succeeded. At 6 p.m., the actor came to have his makeup applied and all was well until 7 p.m., when the real actor showed up. Things have changed over the years at Van Meter. Most big theater productions are held in the Fine Arts Center, and one of the strongest believers of the ghost, Dr. Russell Miller, a long-time baron of Western drama, has been dead for 17 years. Although the strange inci- dents in the old building have decreased in recent years, many students refuse to stay alone in Van Meter. THE GHOST OF WHITE STONE HALL Although many students have passed through the doors of the residence halls, a few who died violent deaths on campus have made them their permanent homes. Spring had come to Western, and although World War II was raging, students had still —continued on page 68 A NIGHT CLER K at Potter Hall reports hearing change in the Coke machine but sees no one.

Only two coeds, dorm coun- selors who had returned early, were in the dorm.... The escaped lunatic pulled himself up White Stone Hall’s fire escape, dragging an ax behind him. He forced his way into an upper-story window, then trudged down the steps to the next floor. Ignoring the open doors, he walked to the end of the hall and stopped in front of the last door on the left. Gripping his ax, he shoved open the door and stepped into the room. Much to his surprise, the room wasn’t empty. The ax flashed and the man ran back up the hall and disappeared. Bleeding profusely, the girl dragged herself to where the second counselor was staying. Too weak to stand, she scratched at the door all night long but the other girl was too petrified to 68 Ghosts open the door. In the morning, the girl was found dead. Every spring vacation since then, the ghost of the girl has returned to walk, or sit in the windows of White Stone Hall, now known as Schneider Hall. THE GHOST OF BARNES-CAMPBELL HALL Twenty years later, another student kept his date with death in Barnes-Campbell Hall. The fifth floor resident assistant was waiting for an elevator, and when the doors opened, the elev- ator wasn’t there. He fell to his death in the left elevator shaft. A few years later, strange things began to happen—especially when the building was empty. According to Assistant Dean of Student Af- fairs Howard Bailey, former assistant director of the hall, after students checked out one sum- mer, the building was given a routine check to make sure it was empty. Despite the fact that no human was present, the elevator would go up to the fifth floor and stay. Chairs would crash to the floor, trash cans would tumble down empty stairwells. Linens were flung from the bed and strewn around the room. Perhaps the most intriguing story of all happened during the 1968 Christmas break. The building had been closed, the locks changed and checked to make sure it was empty. Once this had been done, Bailey and the other staff went to dinner. Upon returning, Bailey discovered that there was water running somewhere in the building. And, to no one’s surprise, the showers and faucets were running at full blast on the fifth floor. Leading from one of the shower stalls was a set of wet footprints. Bailey followed the footprints to the door of the ° resident assistant’s room. When the door was opened, the footprints did not continue inside. Whoever, or whatever, had made the footprints simply vanished into thin air. THE GHOST OF POTTER HALL The most recent ghost story is absent from the archives. It was, however, reenacted and preserved on videotape in a film made by Fort Lauderdale, Fla., senior Denise Beauchamp. In the film, three witnesses tell of their encounters with the ghost of Potter Hall. In 1977, a girl hanged herself in the base- ment of the hall. Details of the incident, in- cluding the girl’s name and room number, were hushed up. A select few, including Mary Anne Loftus, currently director of Bemis Lawrence Hall, knew the entire story. A few years after the incident, Loftus became director of Potter Hall. In the director's apart- ment was a locked door to which Loftis had no key. Since there was no practical use for the door, Loftus had positioned a chair in front of it. One night, the door flung open, moving the chair across the room. When Loftus inves- tigated, she found the door still locked. Former night clerk Beth Parsley also en- countered the ghost. “Several times, while I was working the night shift, | would hear change going in the Coke machine. Then I would hear a drink fall. When I looked up, no one was there,” she said. Parsley also said she would hear footsteps on the lineoleum but, again, no one was there. Often, she would hear scratching on the floor of her room; she lived in the basement. One night, former resident assistant Janet Maltry and some friends found a Ouija Board, and for fun, tried it out. The first spirit they contacted was an older lady who said she had lived on ‘Vinegar Hill’ in the 1800s. Then, they contacted a Civil War soldier. The last spirit they contacted was a very unhappy young woman. The young woman told them that she had hung herself in 1977 in the basement of Potter Hall. She also provided intimate details, such as her name, the date of her death and her room number. The next day Maltry asked a housekeeper about the girl who had committed suicide in Potter. “She was astonished that we cou ld pro- vide details of the girl's death. She said no one was supposed to know about it,” Maltry said. Potter Hall has since closed, and some would attribute this to the odd occurrences. Whether one belives these stories or not is up to the individual. The fact remains that these stories are a part of Western’s history, preserved by university archives. But, remember the next time you're walking over the Hill some dark night, stop and listen. The footsteps you hear may not be your own. 69 Ghosts MAKING A BREAK By JULIE EZELL Photos by JAMES BORCHUCK 70 Spring Break IT WAS FRIDAY afternoon and the traf: fic jam began. I-65 was impassable as car loads of Western students lined up with their coolers full, credit cards in hand and three gallons of suntan oil in their suitcases. Spring break ’86 was on! Spring break meant relaxation. Despite the rumors, spring break had nothing to do with Florida, sun or bikinis. Spring break was a chance to have fun and to forget about Western, whether it meant staying in Bowling Green or traveling to some far-away state. Every year, Western students grew restless and lost all concern for school as that much-needed break drew near. Conversations consisted of, “Where ya going this year?” not, “How’s your term paper coming along?” No one cared about academic pursuits when the promise of spring rolled around after a cold, drab ONE OF KEY WEST’S most famous night spots is Sloppy Joe’s Bar. It was a favorite vacation spot of American novelist Ernest Hem- ing way. WHILE ON SPRING break, Bowling Green sophomores Steve Cline and Stephanie Hardcastle, hold hands. The couple were laying out in the sun ona public beach in Key West. winter. Students simply needed to rest their over- worked brains. “The best part of spring break is just relaxing,” Irvine senior Carolyn Gay said after returning from six days in Naples, Fla. “I was so laid back I didn’t even bother to mail postcards. I just laid in the sun, thankful I was away from the pressure of school.” Of course, a college student didn’t have to be in Florida to forget his woes. Doug Robertson, a Bowling Green senior, took to the ski slopes of Colorado to take his mind off school work. “Skiing is just another faction of the fun,” Rob- ertson said. “Spring is a good time to go to the mountains, because it’s basically warm—45 or 50 degrees—but there’s still snow to play in.” Robertson wanted to get away from the “worn out” Florida scene. “Florida gets old pretty quick, but in Colorado, we were able to go sleigh riding, ice skating and snow mobiling along with skiing several hours each day,” he said. “We may not have tans to show off, but who wants to hassle with sunburns and dead skin? The mountain air is much more healthy.” Although Colorado seemed like a long trip, Rob- ertson only spent 21 hours on the road, which was comparable to a trip to the southern tip of Florida. Regardless of the distance, Florida and Colorado both seemed pretty exciting, especially compared to life in Bowling Green. However, some students stayed in Bowling Green and—believe it or not—had a good week. Peggy Mowson, a Hopkinsville junior, had no regrets over her quiet week in Bowling Green. “I thought I would be bored out of my mind, but the days went by fast,” Mowson said. “I was running around in shorts pretending to be in Florida, not to mention enjoying the apartments without room- mates. No roommates is a vacation in itself.” Mowson said the relaxing week was probably best for her rather than taking a trip. “I enjoyed being lazy since I haven’t relaxed since the beginning of the semester,” she said. “Sure, if I could have afforded it, I would have gone somewhere,” Mowson said, “but I like the way it turned out anyway. Just don’t tell anyone I actually enjoyed myself here. No one is supposed to have a good time unless they go to Florida, right?” Not necessarily. Spring break was what students made it—wherever they were. But according to Mow- son, the only bad thing about spring break was going back to classes the following Monday. ON THE BEACH, Mary Birch, an Olney, Ill., junior, Tim Nichol, a Louisville senior, and Sara Ledford, a Mt. Sterling freshman, look for volleyball opponents. The three were in Key West.

Frisbee golf and hackysack engaged the attention of the casual sportsman. Frisbee golf was played like conventional golf ex- cept the participants used a flying disc. They would throw the disc from a cement tee area toward a basket hundreds of feet away sitting on a green of rocks. Each player was allotted a certain number of tosses for each hole called “par.” The fairways were scattered with disc-eating trees causing a one-stroke penalty for drifting frisbees. Tucked away in the back of Kereiakes Park, behind the tennis courts and baseball fields, and down a dusty gravel road was an 18-hole frisbee golf course. The course, which was of competitive national standing, had been there for seven years. “Tt’s funny how no one knows that it’s out here,” Alan Schack, a Bowling Green sophomore, said. Schack, who had been an avid frisbee golfer for two THE AFTERNOON SUN aast shadows on hackysackers, Louisville sophomore John Dunham, Louisville freshman Andy Lyons and LaGrange freshman Dennis Miller. The three were playing in front of Poland Hall. years, spent a couple of hours at the course each day flipping the plastic disc. “It’s a great way to pass time,” he said. “You can come out here, away from the troubles of school, and release your frustrations.” Anyone could enjoy the benefits of frisbee golf. All they needed was a frisbee and some free time. Bill Miller, a clerk at a local sporting goods store where discs were sold for $10.50, said that he had: seen people from 5 years old to 75 years old. “It’s a form of gentle recreation, making it appealing to the not-so- competitive sportsman.” Mitchell Davenport, a staff member of Bowling Green Parks and Recreation, was the course pro. He gave two-hour disc golf lessons on Thursday evenings for five dollars. He said that another 18-hole course was planned for Hobson Grove Park because of the growing interest in frisbee golf. There was a frisbee golf club which met once a week for the serious frisbee golfer. Avid golfers could also apply for a pro-ranking number through the mail at a i cost of $15 which enabled them to compete in the various tournaments across the nation. Bowling Green Parks And Recreation sponsored the annual “April Fools Tournament” which was a national competition. “There were 69 pros, 34 ama- teur men, and 15 amateur women competing,” Schack said. “Some came from as far as Ontario and Connecticut.” The top prize was $200. The other activity for the casual sportsman was hackysack, a game requiring eye-to-foot coordination, that began to kick up some dust last year. Hackysacking, a mild activity, offered many hours of entertainment for the hacky-minded. “It’s addic- tive,” Buz Teas, a Nashville, Tenn., senior, said. “It makes you want to keep playing.” To play, hackyers stood in a circle and tapped a small bag of beans between each other using their feet. The object was to see how many times the footbag could be passed to the participants without hitting the ground. HACKYSACKING COULD BE played in a variety of places, as Radcliff sophomore Mark Townsend and LaGrange freshman Dennis Miller demonstrate. The two were playing in front of Downing University Center. ON THE FIRST HOLE of the course, Greenbrier, Tenn., senior Cary Hall attempts a putt, as Columbia sophomore Brent Goodin watches. The course was in Kereiakes Park. “Anyone can hacky,” Cary Hall, a Nashville, Tenn., senior, said. “You don’t have to be very athletic to hacky but it helps to be limber.” Each successful pass was called a hacky. A good round of hacky was when each player kicked the bag once. Hackysack wasn’t just for Western students, either. Brian O'Keefe, a Louisville senior, said that you can meet a lot of people by playing hackysack. O'Keefe recalled a time in Louisville when he was hackying alone and was soon joined by fellow sackers whom he didn’t know. For the serious sacker, there was the World Footbag Association, a club for hacky- sackers. Bently Tittle, a Henderson junior, said he loved to play hackysack. He learned to hacky on the beach at Hilton Head. “It became a habit,” he said “and I began to hacky more every day. Hackysacking is very simple,” he added, “because all you need is your feet.” A) pa 5 a AT KEREIAKES PARK, Louisville sophomore Mark Hobbs tees off from the ,eighth hole of the course.

The calm waves sliding into shore concealed the fact that six-foot waves were just beyond the reef—a nightmare for unsuspecting scuba divers. The clear waters off the shores of the Florida Keys invited divers to explore their rich depths. The West- ern Scuba Club responded to that provacative call over spring break. According to the trip organizer, the divine adven- ture was not a sudden decision. “We'd been talking about the trip since the fall of 1985,” Campbellsville senior Mike Reff said. “We contacted the Florida Chamber of Commerce. We called the AAA for travel tips, and we talked to everybody we could find who knew anything about Florida or scuba diving.” In January, a campsite in Big Pine Key was selected as an ideal central location. An itinerary and a travel route were developed and financial considerations were worked out by the end of the month. The next step was contacting interested people through an advertisement in the College Heights Herald. “We had hoped for a little more response from the ad in the paper,” Reff said. “But about 10 people called to ask questions.” Economy was a concern in planning the trip. Tents were borrowed from the university, people carpooled for the 23-hour trip, and several jars of peanut butter were bought to feed the group cheaply. “As far as diving goes, several of us had our own equipment,” Reff said. “Scuba rental runs about $20 a day. Plus we rented a boat one day which was $25 per person for a half day out. We were guessing about $100 per person for the scuba part of the trip for those who had no equipment. That was pretty close.” Despite the intensive planning, the Scuba Club ran into complications. The weather didn’t cooperate on several days, and bad weather could have developed into a dangerous situation for a diver in a matter of minutes. “We had a few bad days, and we weren’t about to take any chances,” Reff said. “Another problem was one of the boat operators cancelled on us, but we did manage to get out ina boat by the end of the week. “Oddly, the quarry was our best dive,” Reff said. “The water was clear and full of crabs and fish. The underwater rocks were fabulous and we found lots of shells. Considering the rock quarry didn’t cost us anything, it was a spectacular deal.” Eleven people went to the Keys, but only five people did any diving. The other six people were there for the sun and fun. Eric Harlan, a Radcliff graduate student, planned to dive, but was unable to because he was no longer certified as a diver. “It’s been a while since I’ve been diving, so I was disappointed at first, but the trip was enjoyable anyway since the Keys are so intense,” Harlan said. “Reff had everything so well planned we just buzzed down to the Keys, hit the campsite and Jet things just happen. We had maps and tour guides of what-to- do-when-you're-in-the-Florida Keys. We were taken care of.” Reff said he did have one regret. “Camping out was fun, but next time maybe we'll stay in a hotel. There will be more people in a hotel and less mosquitoes.” A) AcE Ri, ii EERIE: BEFORE DIVING, Tim Nease points the way to Mike Reff, a Campbellsville senior, and Davidson. Nease owned a dive shop.

Strains of “My Old Kentucky Home” faded away before the parade of administrators and faculty mem- bers signaled the beginning of the graduation cere- mony for Western’s class of 86. “Know yourself,” was the advice Dr. Felix C. Robb had for the graduating seniors. Robb, a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and former president of George Peabody College, outlined a four-point plan for success containing what he said was the advice he wished someone had given him when he graduated from college. First, Robb advised graduates to assess their per- sonal abilities, both strengths and weaknesses. “Smart people do this,” Robb said. “And they do this more than once.” “Create some kind of masterplan for your life” was the second part of Robb’s advice. “You'll be ahead if you do.” Robb also said that goal-setting was the third step for success. “Set goals for yourself, both near and distant.” Robb’s fourth point was closely aligned with the third. “Establish some priorities in your life. Pri- orities also reflect our education and intelligence,” Robb said. In conclusion, Robb said that success, was not only for the graduates themselves but also for their families and friends. “You owe this to those who have made an invest- ment in you—those who have believed in you,” Robb said. Robb also admonished the graduates to not be deterred from going after anything they might want in life because they might fail. “While you're young, don’t be afraid of failure,” he said. Students and faculty members alike who had pur- sued success and achieved it were recognized during the ceremony. Outstanding faculty members received their awards from vice president for academic affairs Dr. Robert Haynes. “Faculty who have served well over the years are the greatest asset to the university,” Haynes said. Roy M. Howsen of the College of Business, Eula Mae Monroe of the College of Education, Michael Trapasso of the Department of Geography and Ge- ology and Joe Glaser of the College of Arts and Humanities received the faculty excellence awards. Jim Ausenbaugh of the Department of Journalism received a silver bowl for his award recognizing his productive teaching. Edward L. Schoen of the Department of Philosophy and Religion won the award for outstanding per- formance in research and creative endeavor while Wayne Hoffman of the Department of Geography and - Geology won the outstanding service award. Also, a new award sponsored by the Faculty Senate was presented to Thomas E. Coohill, a professor of biology, for his overall contribution to the university. The award was to be named after Coohill, a former Faculty Senate president. As for the student awards, scholars from each of the four colleges were recognized. Mark Freskos of Bowling Green received the award for Ogden College, Frieda Sue Downs of Leitchfield received the College of Education award, Melinda McCubbin of Hodgen- ville, Lisa Stanfield of Elizabethtown and Tracy Ford of Brandenburg received the College of Arts and Humanities award and Mark Reynolds of Owensboro received the award for the College of Business. Three students received overall outstanding gradu- ates. Ford, Stanford, and Freskos representing the if oF Si Department of Computer Science were the recipients. Haynes presented the graduating class to university president Dr. Kern Alexander who accepted the can- didates. “Universities are responsible for our freedom in the world today,” Alexander said. “As graduates of Western Kentucky University, you are now part of that enterprise.” As for facing life after graduation, there were usually two responses from seniors—happiness and sadness. Becky Johnson of Taylorsville who received her bachelors degree in journalism said that she felt her college career “was worth it...if I can find a job.” Johnson said she hoped to find a job with a newspaper. Johnson said the idea of really graduating hit home the night before the ceremony. “I was sad—extremely sad—about leaving everybody behind, knowing I'd never come back. It’ll never be the same.” On the other hand, Cindy Elmore of Glasgow said she was ready for the graduation that was “long awaited for.” Elmore said that she realized her college career was over “probably this last month with finals and stuff.

They worked out new routines and music for their fall and FOR THE BY KIM SAYLOR Pr OVO SB yess G.OneL WISEMAN 78 Aerobics spring classes at home during the summer. OUTFITTED in brightly colored tights and leotards, shorts, T-shirts and sweats, 50 jumping, bending, gasping coeds worked out. People of vari- ous shapes and athletic ability spread out across the wood and tile floor in a room in Diddle Arena. Their fearless aerobics leader, dressed in red shorts, a grey T-shirt and black high-tops, yelled out instructions and encouragement over the lively songs. “Everybody down, everybody count,” yelled Clay Smalley, a leader and part-time student from Bowling Green. The voices counted strong at first, but as the grueling dog kicks continued, they weakened to grunts. Smalley started a call and response: “I like it, I love it, I need it, I want it, I feel it.” The voices became stronger and more determined as the sweat dripped from their faces to the floor. Two nights a week at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m., Smalley and fiancee Monique Ryan, an Atlanta senior, led free aerobics for anyone who wanted to come. “It’s exciting, a challenge,” Smalley said. “There’s no pressure. If they like it, they come, if not, they leave.” The class was started by an assistant football coach INSTRUCTORS Clay Smalley, a part-time Bowling Green student, and Monique Ryan, an Atlanta senior, work out with Carla Pinkston, an Austin, Texas, senior. The classes were in Diddle. from Fort Knox in the summer of 1984. Smalley inherited the class from another student, Jorge Gar- cia, after he graduated. The residents at Rodes-Harlin wanted to continue the class so they sponsored and promoted it. Since then the class has doubled in size. “I knew everybody. I used to call everybody’s name—now I can't,” Smalley said. And people sometimes refer to him as “the tall, black man that teaches aerobics,” he said. People were attracted to the class for various reasons. “They come to keep fit and have fun,” Ryan said. “People come to socialize, too,” Smalley said. “By socializing I don’t mean they come to find Ken or Barbie. I me an they come and meet people and see their friends,” he said. Carla Pinkston, a senior from Austin, Texas, has been in the class since Smalley began leading it. “Clay has a lot of enthusiasm and tries to get everyone involved,” she said. “He makes you feel comfortable if you keep up or don’t,” she said. She thinks other people come because of the “music and because you can work out at your own pace,” she said. Besides this class, Smalley instructed aerobics at Olympic Fitness Center, Holley’s Carburetor and the Donley plant in Glasgow. “Everybody loves Clay,” Ryan said. “His personality is perfect for working with people. He makes them say, “Yeah, I can keep going’—that’s the way he makes people feel every place he goes,” she said. Smalley also instructed a special class for Western’s men’s basketball team. “He helped a lot with flexibil- ity,” assistant basketball coach Dwane Casey said. In addition to teaching aerobics, the 29-year-old Smalley was a supervisor and counselor at Panorama. Ryan, a dancer, used the class to build up stamina. “Aerobics helps my legs,” she said. The couple com- bined Ryan’s dance and Smalley’s athletic knowledge to develop routines. “A lot of exercises come from my jazz class,” Ryan said. In the summer they worked up a new routine and used the basic idea throughout year. “At home we get together and I'll say, “You need this for your stomach, legs, etc.,” Ryan said. “We like to do things that will help you from head to toe,” she said. Regulars like Pinkston liked the music and its liveliness. Smalley said,“Tll buy ‘Billboard Magazine’ and pick things with a catchy beat and take it to The Committee to record.” The Committee was a group of disc jockeys who attended Western. They arranged and recorded Smalley’s aerobics music. Smalley and Ryan have gathered a loyal following over the past two years, but Ryan made it clear that “no one owns the class.” Smalley used tactics such as calling out people’s names and call and response to make the class work harder and attract new people. The largest class was 130 people. “Everyone stayed the whole hour,” Smalley said. “People were adjusting themselves so that everyone could stay.” As Smalley flowed from one routine to the next, the hour drew to a close. Looks of relief and fatigue appeared on the coeds’ faces as they stretched during cool down. “That was fun,” Smalley yells. “Let’s do it again.” A) WHILE WARMING UP, Smalley and Ryan lead the class through stretching exercises. Ryan was a dance minor. AFTER AEROBICS at Diddle Arena, Smalley and Ryan share some time together. The couple led a class three times a week at Western. 79 Aerobics SANDY SMITH 80 News IT WES) INCOME really unusual for world events to affect the United States, but for the first time in a long time Western felt some of the blows dealt to the nation. The man most in the news was Libyan leader Mommamhar Khadafy, who launched a series of ter- roristic acts against the United States. He also set up a “Line of Death” across the Gulf of Sidra, and said that he would fire upon anyone who crossed that imaginary line. When U.S. naval planes crossed the line, Libyan planes shot at them. The United States retaliated by torpedoing several missile boats. Then, it was Libya’s turn to retaliate. And they did—by bombing a West Berlin disco,in which an American serviceman was killed. Then, they planted a bomb in a Mediterranean plane. Four Am- ericans were killed in that attack. And then, of course, the United States responded by dropping bombs on Libya. Khadafy’s daugther was among the fatalities and his two sons were critically injured. Two American pilots were also killed when their plane was shot down. In response, several hostages being held in Lebanon were murdered. Although the Libyan acts were the most recent, —Kevin Eans RAPE AWARENESS is on the minds of many women as Paul Joiner of public safety shows a film on protection. Several attacks occurred on and near campus. they were hardly the only ones of the year. During the summer, a TWA plane was hijacked in, Athens. All of the passengers were released except the American males, who were held for weeks before being freed. Then, an Italian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, was hijacked. An American, Leon Klinghoffer, who was confined to a wheelchair, was shot and his body thrown overboard. During Christmas, terrorists opened fire in the Rome and Vienna airports. A 12-year-old American girl was among the dead. And the eyes of the world were centered on two lesser known countries when “Baby Doc” Duvalier was ousted from Haiti and when Ferdinand Marcos was forced to leave the Philippines amid charges of election fraud. On a happier note, it appeared that South Africa was closer to abolishing apartheid by banning passes that forbade blacks from entering certain parts of the country.

Some ideas clashed: terrorism and democracy, pro- choice and pro-life, drinking and driving. Some ideas were trendy. Americans drank less, ate less and exercised more. Meanwhile, millions of other ideas were traditional. Displeased cola drinkers rallied for the retum of old Coke and Classic Coke was born. Other ideas and events were a blend of tradition and trend. Fashion catered to varying tastes. And old-time television classics were given another run. Whether notions were traditional or trendy, they constituted the American way of life. —Tlluscration by Drew Tarter FETAL FIGHT Roe vs. Wade legal- ized abortion in 1973. And while the Supreme Court's decision made abortion a legal issue, for many women the issue was not so much a legal issue as a moral one, in- volving those individuals and groups who were opposed and those who supported a woman’s right to choose. Did women have the right to make that choice? Was an unborn child a living human being? These and other questions brought about a sep- aration in society which had not been seen since the days of slavery. Since 1973, terminating unwanted pregnancies became the most com- mon surgical procedure for women in the U.S.— one in four pregnancies ending in abortion was the latest statistic. Some said times had changed; the woman's place was no longer in the home. And with more women in the workplace, more women were having fewer children. That often meant electing to have an abortion in the event of an unwanted pregnancy. Along with President Reagan’s request to re- peal the Supreme Court decision this year came a record number of attacks on the nation’s abortion clinics, rallies for and against abortion in Washington and a film, claiming to document an abortion from the victim's 84 Trendition —Sam Upshaw, Jr Much akin to the devastating effects of tragedy born of natural and human means was a kind o tragedy which also took lives, destroyed and threat- ened and held entire nations captive: terrorism. The United States’ policy of non-negotiation with the Palestine Liberation Organization and other terrorist groups did little to ease the agony of hostages and their families, or make Americans traveling abroad feel less of a target. The seemingly endless procession of terrorist acts included the PLO hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in June and seizure of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in October. Sixty persons died in the hijacking of an Egyptian airliner in November, and more people were injured or killed at the hands of gunmen and in airport bombings. But there was a different kind of terrorist that was attacking Americans at home. It was a type of deja vu when Tylenol capsules were again laced with cyanide. This led to copy-cat tamperings in such products as colas, Girl Scout Cookies and baby food. As a result, manufacturer Johnson and Johnson announced it will no longer make the capsules. Terrorists the world over were forces to be dealt ith, but not to be given in to. And while grief over lives lost and captives taken was a nightmarish conse- quence, striking a deal with terrorists would only mark a victory for them, allowing more grounds for further attacks. A) point of view. No question con- cerning abortion could be answered to the satisfac- tion of either side. Mean while, the many abortions continued to occur amid allthe debating. A) ALCOHOL DROUGHT pin a recent Harris poll, 45 percent of those inter- viewed were consuming less alcohol than they were five years ago. And sales of beer, wine and other alcoholic bev- erages were down from years past. These statistics showed a significant decline in al- cohol consumption in recent years. Sober af- fairs, even among college students, were not onl y becoming more com- monplace — they were becoming atrend. The crackdown by law enforcement officials on driving under the in- fluence raised the aware- ness of many who had previously given little thought to drinking and driving. Television and radio announcements clearly and bluntly em- phasized the risks: “You drink. You drive. You die.” And the recent warnings, coupled with the growing fitness trend, caused many people to tone down their drinking habits. Even among college students, the observance of dry rush by greek or- ganizations marked an awareness by students that fun could be had, and pledges gained, without supplying kegs of beer to party goers. The absence of alcohol did not neces- sarily mean the absence of entertainment. 4 ) CONTINUOUS CALAMITY No one would take pleasure in calling tra- gedy a trend. But Ameri- cans and people of other nations as well were struck with varying de- grees of shock and sad- ness throughout the year. In August, a Delta Air Lines jet crashed on its approach to an airport runway in Dallas, killing 137. The Dallas crash and others, including the crash that killed 248 ser- vicemen en route to Ft. Campbell, Ky., led to a government crackdown on the safety regulations of airlines, and more de- tailed inspections of air- craft. Billions of dollars in damages, hundreds of injuries and 36 deaths were blamed on the sporadic, raging sprees of a host of hurricanes in the U.S. The storms—Bob, Danny, Gloria, Juan and Kate among them— | reeked havoc along the | Gulf Coast states then diminished to lesser storms as they moved in- land. Elena spawned seven tornadoes with her 125 mph winds on her way up the Mississippi River. Other disasters dealt by nature’s hand included an earthquake in Mexico that left 5,000 dead and 150,000 homeless, a landslide in Puerto Rico that killed 150 people, a dam burst in Italy that killed 200 more and a volcanic eruption of 17,716-foot Nevado Del Ruiz in Columbia. The vol- | cano’s eruption buried entire cities in ash and mud and drastically altered the courses of the lives of over 20,000 people. Meanwhile, all over the world famine was taking its toll. When in January the space shuttle Challenger left the launch pad with seven astronauts aboard, including the first private citizen in space, teacher Christa McAuliffe, dreams and fears were reduced to mourning and tears. —Sam Upshaw, Jr. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT pThe parents of most students could remember the days when couples didn’t kiss on the first date. Times had changed... Values had changed for many Americans, es- pecially younger people. About half of all marriages failed. And many women who found themselves pregnant chose not to marry and opted to raise the child on their own — or elected to have an abortion. More teens were sexually active with multiple partners, and more couples were living together before, or as an alternative to, getting married. To be sure, not all peoples’ values had been altered to “keep up with the times.” Many couples did marry, and many of those marriages had survived. Other positive changes in attitudes toward sex, marriage and relationships in general had also occurred. A significant number of cou- ples opted for long relationships prior to thoughts of marriage; with more women choosing to have careers, many couples waited until after college to marry. Often, marriages occurred later in life because of the growing number of women in the work- place. Consequently, many couples were starting families later in the marriage. And because of the rising divorce rate, couples were more devoted to making the marriage work and keeping the family unit together. As far as relationships were concerned, some people would argue that everyone’s moral and ethical standards had been lowered through the years. While statistics painted an overall picture that was negative for the most part, there were still those men and women—and teens—who went against the odds, who believed that good moral standards were nota thing of the past. A Trendition A PASSION FOR FASHION Coke was it and it again, Oversized and untucked blouses, With new flavors and fashions to set the trend. Sweatshirts and swimsuits with Mickey Mouses; Swatches were timely, and Reeboks too, Outfits of khaki pants and shirts, As were Bruce’s bandanas and basic blues. Esprit fashions and the Liz Claiborne purse. Stirrup pants and the paisley print Some went Hawaiian with bermuda shorts Came back from the past for another stint. And “panama” T’s in bright colors of course. Long strands of pearls were back again, Topped off with a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses— Costume, of course, like the collar pins. Variety was endless in and out of classes. —Tim Broekema —Tim Broekema —Tim Broekema 86 Trendition Often the trend was a classic rendition Of “ivy league” preppy—the look of tradition. Turtleneck sweaters and cardigans, too, With pleated wool trousers and penny loafer shoes. Walking shorts of corduroy, plaid and cotton; “Duck” shoes and boat shoes were not forgotten. A twist of the “old school” look, however, Called for sweaters to be the bigger the better. —Tim Broekema —Tim Broekema Somewhere between tradition and trend Were camouflage fashions for women and men; Cropped pants and bows and ankle-length boots, And Miami Vice T’s under light-colored suits. Considering the fact that tastes differed and changed, Fashions on campus clothed a wide range. So every season the students went shopping, With checkbooks in hand to send retailers hopping. by Pam Carey 87 Trendition irendito 88 Sometimes being trendy meant being someone different, a little off the beaten path, so to speak. Someone whose entire being operated outside the realm of fads and fashion. One such someone was Tim Bratcher. The Louisville sophomore had several things to say about trends and why people consider him trendy. “| think people consider me trendy because I’m anti-trendy,” he said. “Whatever anyone else is do- ing, | don’tdo.” When the trend called for men to wear short hair, Bratcher wore longer hair. If men wore earrings, Bratcher didn’t. If people said black clothes weren’t stylish on him, he wore black. “| dress the way | want to dress and that’s all there is to it,” he said. Bratcher differed from majority thought in other areas besides fashion. In fact, he claimed to enjoy “being critical and getting on people’s nerves.” Bratcher was the Opinion Page writer for “Asylum Komix,” a student-funded publication. He sa id he landed the job at Asylum because “the paper needed a voice.” As an opinion writer, Bratcher found an avenue for expressing his thoughts on a number of pet peeves. Among the topics which came under fire in Asylum were campus police, Poland Hall as a coed residence hall, conservatism, and what he referred to as Western's “Bible belt” administration. Bratcher summarized his life as one lived on the edge, for he always desired to be different. Some- times it meant dressing differently.

They key to success was work — hours and hours of it. Drakesboro junior Mitchell McKinney, presi- dent of Associated Student Government, was in- volved in his duties as president and in other organizations as well. “My main duty is being president of ASG,” he said. “But it also means you're a voting member of other groups.” McKinney worked with the University Center Board, the Education Advisory Committee and was the student member of the Board of Regents. This year McKinney's role with the Board of Regents was especially important, as McKinney was an active participant in Western’s search for a president. Dr. Kern Alexander was chosen as result of the board’s process of screening applicants, visiting the presidential hopefuls and interviewing the finalists. : McKinney and the other 100 ASG members had other major projects throughout the year. ASG hosted the state Student Government Con- ference in Glasgow to promote involvement and the role of student government. ASG also joined the bandwagon of students, faculty and admin- istrators in Frankfort to rally in support of higher education in Kentucky. Working with ASG and being a part of other committees and organizations was good experi- ence for McKinney, who planned to make a future for himself in higher education. “| plan to go on to graduate school, studying communication and government. After gradu- ation, I'd like to teach on the university level, and someday work my way up to administration,” he said. AD Once he was a stran- ger in a foreign land, but but no more. Rodriguez, a Barquisimeto, Venezuela senior, had made a place for himself on campus, as chairman of International Day for the International Student Organization, a contender for public re- lations vice president in the Associated Student Government elections, and as Western’s mascot, Big Red. Rodriguez’ campus in- volvement was the result of “two years of doing nothing.” Becoming an active participant in cam- pus life brought him much personal satisfaction; the more involved he be- came, he said, the happier he was. He became a member of ISO, and when he felt it was not as active as it could have been, he reorganized ISO and from there be- gan his involvement in ASG. “| wanted ISO to be represented,” he said. “| don’t think there was any international student in ASG before me, so | tried to work in any committee | could.” Apart from his organ- izational work, though, Rodriguez had always wanted to be Big Red. DANIEL RODRIGUEZ And in the spring, when he was given the job of mascot, “it put a smile on my face that lasted the whole weekend.” Rod- riguez felt that one of the best things about school athletics was that athletics gave spirit to a school. As Big Red, it made him feel good to cheer for his uni- versity and be a part of the “magic” and the “spirit that makes the master.” Every time Rodriguez donned the mascot suit, he became not Daniel Rodriguez, but Big Red. “People would come up to me and say ‘hey, Daniel’, and it wasn’t Daniel at all in there, it was Big Red,” he said. “But | feel like, when | put on that suit, | went back 15 years to when | was alittle kid.” AD 89 Trendition 90 Trendition FOREIGN INVASION p Food was in one sense of the word the staple of existence. In another sense, it was a pastime. An all-American hamburger and fries was ever- popular, and so too were foreign foods. Tofu, or bean curd, formerly the delight of Asiatic lands, made its way into American diets. Gloria Vanderbilt made tofu fashionable by putting it into her brand of ice cream. Similar to ice cream was a frozen treat of the French persuasion, sorbet, a naturally sweet concoction of fruit and ice. Among the main dishes borrowed from foreign lands were a number of Chinese specialties, including sweet and sour pork, chicken and shrimp, egg rolls and chow mein. Also a part of the foreign food trend were Mexican tacos, burritos, enchiladas and fajitas, pasta from Italy and croissants from France. With the number of supermarkets and restaurants in close proximity to campus, students were able to satisfy their food cravings with traditionally American foods—and trendy foreign foods as well. And some- time in the not-so-far-away future, tacos, egg rolls and tofu may well seem as American as apple pie. 5 serra oo AA meenantas CASE THE PLACE Some students felt the campus was not the place to be, however, when the last class lecture was over on Friday. The weekend exodus remained a trend on campus, as students packed suitcases, loaded cars and left in droves for jobs, homes, sweethearts and destinations unknown. “Suitcasing,” as it was called, was the habit of thousands of students who wanted to get away to a different atmosphere. It posed a problem, on the other hand, for campus organizations who worked to provide oppor- tunities and incentives for students to remain on campus on weekends, to get involved in organ- ized events such as ballgames, concerts, “beach” parties and movies. _ Staying on campus allowed students to enjoy its activities and events, and in the case of freshmen, familiarize the students with their whereabouts. To many students, however, there was no place like home. 4 ) came 120. BR ED ce PLAY GROUND Recreation was yet an- other diversion, and on campus, students had a number of recreation fa- cilities. An entire floor, in fact, was devoted to such activities as billiards, table tennis and arcade games. A bowling alley was also available for individual and team play, and a wide-screen television offered MTV and other programs that are offered on cable television. A) FUTURE VENTURE BA college degree alone didn’t always pave an easy path to a satisfy- ing job. The Cooperative Education Center took up where classes left off. The Co-op gave jobs to students so they could earn money while gaining experience for the future —and college credit as well. Co-op work could have even been the de- ciding factor where ca- reer choice was con- cerned. “We work with students still pursuing a degree,” Carol White, assistant di- rector of Co-op, said. AD - COLLECTION AFFECTION Nearly everyone had a passion. for something collectible. As in the case of cars, coins, stamps and baseball cards, for in- stance, having a col- lection of some size and sort may have been a money-making venture as well as a hobby. But for the most part, collections said something about an individual’s past or pre- sent about which mon- etary value was of lesser importance than sen- timental value. People collected post- ers, magazines, stuffed animals and glass men- ageries, charms for bracelets, empty bottles, albums and cassettes. Bedrooms became hav- ens for collages of candles, knives, brass trin- kets and T-shirts, news clippings, and pinups. Sometimes the col- lectibles represented an individual’s ancestry such as family photo albums and antique furniture. Others compiled the memories of growing up; the stuffed animals from sweethearts, ticket stubs from movies, posters and pinups of rock stars and movie stars, or flowers from dances pressed in books. Anything of inter- est, any kind of trinket, bauble or knick knack was one person’s throwaway— and another's prized treasure. MEDITER- COMMUNITY AVENUE CHEST Se- S60. fh.

Clue could be played both as a board game and a video game, as it was available for play on VCR. And true Clue fanatics discovered the game had been adapted to a full-length movie. Other classic board games underwent little change, but remained favorites including Scrabble, Parcheesi, Sorry and Life. A) ot Trendition INCURABLE EPIDEMIC p Another subject pre- viously limited to private discussion was brought into the spotlight with actor Rock Hudson's ad- mission that he had AIDS, and with his death from the disease shortly there- after. Hudson’s death put Hollywood in a frenzy, and the nation went into a state of panic as well. A relatively unheard of dis- ease, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome), was now the center of attention—and it was a fatal disease that was killing thousands. The hysteria it gener- ated was partly due to the unknown facts about the disease, and the fact that the disease was not lim- ited to homosexuals or those who had come into contact with homo- sexuals. It could not only be transmitted via homo- 92 Trendition sexual acts, but transmit- ted by blood transfusion, and the disease could be carried by persons who had come into contact with the AIDS virus with- out even knowing it. Amidst the hysteria sur- rounding AIDS were the efforts of persons in the medical field to discover those treatments or drugs which would slow down the progression of the disease or cure it. But cures and treatments took time. And the media were flooded with stories of AIDS—of school children who had been banned from the classroom out of fear that they would transmit the disease to others, homosexuals and prostitutes who faced contracting the disease, and about the somewhat irrational fears of many of getting the disease via water fountains and other public facilities, human tears and even shaking hands—stories of fears that would not ease until a cure could be found. 4 ) MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY —Drew Tarcer Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s prescription was far - from “an apple a day.” Her prescription was good | sex, as the title of her cable call-in show indicated. | The message she sent was much more impressive than her height. The magnitude of the subjects she spoke of, and the manner in which she spoke of them, on the other hand, was impressive to some, embarrassed and outraged others, and won her national fame. Cable Lifetime Network viewers of her show “Good Sex!” weren't the only ones who kept up with the advice and antics of Dr. Ruth. She also conducted radio shows, introduced a board game for folks strictly age 21 and over, and led a tour group overseas to the “sensual sites” of India. She also lectured throughout the country, making a stop at Vanderbilt University to answer the questions of students and present her views, how- ever bluntly they may have seemed, to the audi- ence. Every time she spoke, whether on the air or on the lecture circuit, Dr. Ruth raised eyebrows—and. the awareness of many—that the subject of sex need not be talked about in the strictest of privacy; that speaking of sex could and should be a topic openly discussed. A ) DIET DILEMMA Chocolate chip cook- ies, double-fudge brown- ies, rocky road ice cream and other delectible ed- ibles tended to make mouths water—and stom- achs and hips bulge. Re- sisting the temptation of consuming such treats seemed the ultimate sac- rifice to many. But more than a handful of Amer- icans were doing just that. Eating right and eating less was a major com- ponent of the trend of body-consciousness, as commercials, health offi- cials and celebrities prompted people to “kick the habit” of putting too much salt, sugar, caffeine and the like into their diets. Nutrasweet literally made sugar, for instance, a thing of the past, pop- ping up on the labels of soft drinks, cereal, Jell-O FAT-FREE p Exercise was literally a cure-all for a number of health problems. Lik e a diet, moderation was the key to exercising, and be- lief in the saying “no pain, no gain” was dispelled by many experts. An ex- ercise program, like a diet, was not limited to persons who desired to lose weight. Exercise be- came a pastime for all ages. Well-being of body seemed to coincide with and other products. And to symbolize to everyone that diet and exercise re- gimes were not exclu- sively for the overweight, celebrities poured out dozens of books on food | and fitness. Among the fad diets on the market were the grapefruit diet, the rice diet, diets consisting pri- marily of bananas, salads and fish and various others appearing weekly in tabloids. Diet pills such as Dex- atrim, Dietac and Fibre Trim were also a part of many diet plans. But medical experts and others agreed that the simplest diet was inex- pensive, fairly easy, and did not involve eating the same food three meals a day; the recommended diet was eating lean meats, fish, fruits and veg- etables in moderation, combined with a daily ex- ercise routine. the well-being of the mind as well. A daily exercise routine was said to ease stress. .Women—and men—in the work force arranged their schedules to include exercise to pre- vent stress, “burnout” and a number of other health problems. Health spas appealed to a wider va- riety of people. And ex- ercise equipment was no longer limited to health spas as rowing machines, weights, hot tubs and other equipment flooded the market. 4 ) —-Kathy Forrescer Much akin to well-being and fitness was the desire by millions to have a tan year-round. And as flying to tropical climates could not be done as often or as inexpensively, those who wanted tans opted to obtain one by artificial means. Getting a tan became as simple as standing up—or lying down—in tanning booths and capsule-like beds. For a minimal fee, usually on a monthly basis, tan-seekers made visits to the booths and beds. Some health authorities warned of the dangers, but many paid no heed, putting thoughts of skin cancer out of their heads, and clinging to the idea that only death was worse thanapale complexion. 4) a 25 Trendition ET MONEY FOR MUSIC BSome new trends were fleeting ideas, ex- ploding on the scene like Madonna's lace attire, then fading, only to be replaced by another innovation. But regardless of their long-term impact, the trends of the year turned the nation on its ear. Some trends gave birth to national awareness. Charity was in, as exemp- lified by the music in- dustry. The industry's power to sell music was upstaged by its own power to raise funds for such problems as famine and the anti-apartheid movement. Similar at- tempts to raise bread for the poverty-stricken A- merican farmer were not as successful. Rockers in Philadelphia and London, for instance, raised $70.5 million in re- lief for Africa at the Live Aid concerts. Forty-five of the hottest names in music produced the USA for Africa album, poster and video for $37 million in aid for the starving. And some 50 country and rock performers staged a 15-hour show in Cham- paign, Ill., to reap $10 mil- lion for American farmers, far short of their goal. The efforts of these and other groups raised mil- lions of dollars—and the awarenes of the world for people in need. 94 Trendition HOMETOWN HITS Music had other aims as well. Entertainers such as Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mel- lencamp set to music the stories of Vie tnam vet- erans, the unemployed, small towns and small farmers, with an additional message that times might be tough, but grasping on to our homes, our families—our roots—was the key to survival. Springsteen’s Born in the USA tour swept 61 cities as the Boss sent his message to sold-out crowds with hits including “Born in the USA,” “Dancing in the Dark” and “My Hometown.” Mellencamp, with a similar spirit, gave listeners a dose of rock and roll to the tune of such songs as “R.O.C.K. in the USA,” “Small Town,” and “Face of the Nation,” from his “Scarecrow” album. Their music was resonant of the music of the 60s, old-fashioned to an extent, saturated with social conscience and tinged with pride in A- merica. Raising people’s awareness, then, came about not only from benefit concerts. Charity was the trend, and so was music with a message. ) Drew Tarter_ HOME BOX The cable television boom gave subscribers an abundance of music, comedy, religion, box- office movies—and a swarm of shows and movies from years past, giving rise to yet another trend: the revival of old- time television. This trend bid a fond farewell to the sex and glitz of prime-time soaps and the drama of private detective series, and turned heads and chan- nels toward more light- hearted and wholesome shows from as much as 30 years ago. Both on cable channels and network television as well, viewers were treated to sitcoms such as “The Honeymooners,” “Leave It To Beaver,” “Gilligan's Island” and “I Love Lucy.” The reruns of “The Rifleman,” “Bon- anza” and “The Rockford Files” were popular as well. “M A S H,” “WKRP. in Cincinnati,” “The Jeffer- sons” and other not-so- old shows were watched for the umpteenth time, and “Star Trek,” “Route 66” and “My Three Sons” were also revived and re- vered. | Old movies and tele- vision shows had always had appeal, but not since the advent of cable had many of the old programs made such a comeback. LATENIGHTS With a much different message of off-the-wall humor, Indiana native David Letterman pulled high ratings and developed a near cult-like fol- lowing with his “Late Night” show on NBC. “Late Night” offered segments that were con- sidered by many to be a combination of humor that was funny, sarcastic, sometimes tacky and previously unheard of or untried. The show was home to anyone or anything in which comedy could be found. College students especially enjoyed the antics of Letterman and his guests and watched as a ritual every night, for viewers could be assured of a show that was different from the last. A) walkman iM LEP IOS BELLE Y PERE PODS TINE IAT psec Drew Tarter WALK THIS WAY pAnother trend was the use of the compact and portable headphone stereo. These “walkman” stereo radio and cassette players were highly popular among students who wanted to take the music with them. Headphone stereos had the advantage of be- ing portable and giving the listener a certain amount of privacy—in type and volume of music. In the residence halls, this had a certain amount of appeal to many roommates whose musical tastes clashed. Outside, the stereos made jogging or biking companions. Another item, the compact-disc machine, rep- resented another growing trend in music. Once an exclusive product due to price, new technology made compact discs lower in cost and smaller in size for home, car and portable listening as well.

The cars’ owners, some of Western’s Board of Regents, were contemplating who would be the university’s next presi- dent. Following a 25-minute closed session, the board members—looking unusually at ease—filed back into the Regents Room. Board Chairman Joe Iracane asked for a motion, and Regent Patsy Judd began to speak. “We must change to prepare for changes,” she said. “I would like to nominate Dr. Samuel Kern Alexander for president of Western.” The board accepted Alexander u- nanimously, ending a four-month, nationwide search for Western’s seventh president. Donald Zacharias, Western’s president since It all began when Dr. 1979, was elected as Mississippi State’s 15th president Aug. 10. Nine days later, Western’s Board of Regents announced the search was on for a new university leader. At the same time they accepted Zacharias’ resignation, the board named Dr. Paul Cook, assistant to the president and budget director, to serve as interim president during the search. The board also named a 16-member search committee and chose Joe Bill- Campbell, a Bowling Green attorney and former regent, to head the group. The board set Oct. 9 as the deadline for applications and decided to use ths same candidate criteria used in the 1978-79 search. Potential candidates were to have a doctorate, the ability to effectively com- municate with faculty, students and staff, and exceptional abilities in human Also, candidates needed to have an under- relations, including government. standing of academic affairs, to have demonstrated administrative ability, and preferably to have had classroom teaching experience. But that was the only similarity the board wanted between their search and the 1978-79 search. That search, which netted Zacharias, was marred by allega- tions of political interference, death threats to a regent and delay in the final announcement. It was shrouded in sec- recy and took almost eight months. Cook took over Sept. 1 when Zacharias left. Cook, 52, a Western graduate, had worked here since 1960 in positions rang- ing from model school instructor to budget director. Faculty and students speculated that Cook would seek the presidency. Many believed his experience on the Hill made him the man to beat. Cook waited until the application deadline before confirming that he would be a candidate. “Initially, I did not in- tend to be a candidate,” Cook said, Iracane said after the search that Cook told the board he had no plans to be a candidate when he was named interim president. He said Cook came to the board later and asked if he could be a candidate, citing encouragement from faculty and others as the main reason. The search committee received 172 applications by the deadline and nar- rowed the field to about 20 during a four-hour meeting Oct. 20. The names of the semifinalists weren’t revealed “because it’s in the best interest of the university” to keep them secret, Campbell said. By Nov. 3, the com- mittee had narrowed their list to about 13 candidates. Despite rumors that Cook aa Dr; Kern Alexander —Drew Tarter was the leading candidate, Campbell said the committee had no favorite. “We're concentrating on getting the list down to five,” he said. “We'll let the Board of Regents worry about the front runner.” The committee interviewed 10 candi- dates at the Opryland Hotel in No- vember. The search committree decided on five finalists and turned the names over to the board on Nov. 25. Campbell and Iracane refused to confirm the action, but sources close to the search confirmed that the board was delaying the an- nouncement until regents could visit the finalists’campuses. Campbell announced the five finalists in a press conference Dec. 6, saying, “Everybody on the committee had one thing in mind: to give the five best people to Western.” The finalists were: Cook, Western’s interim president; Alexander, a professor in the College of Education and director of the Institute for Educational Finance at the University of Florida at Gainesville; Dr. Thomas Bond, president of Clarion University in Pennsylvania; Dr. Edward Jakubauskas, president of the State Uni- versity of New York at Geneseo; and Dr. Raphael “Ray” Nystrand, dean of the University of Louisville’s School of Edu- cation and former state education sec- retary. Nystrand and Bond visited Western’s campus Dec. 9, meeting briefly with students, faculty, administrators and the media. Later each man met privately with the board. On Dec. 10, Jakubauskas visited the Hill for the first time and Cook toured the campus he had worked and played on for nearly 30 years.

Alexander was chosen and awarded a $75,000 annual salary. His contract was set to begin May 5, 1986 and extend for three years and 45 days. The board voted to pay the University of Florida for the time Alexander would be spending in Kentucky because his contract on the Starkville campus didn’t end until May.

To Charles Anderson, director of media services, microwaves gave Owens- boro. students the opportunity to attend classes not offered there by the extended campus courses. Using a microwave frequency owned by Kentucky Educational Television, Western televised classes held on campus in Bowling Green and transmitted them to Owensboro Vocational School. Anderson said nearly all the equip- ment needed to produce the interactive television classes was already owned by Western. The two classes offered by television during the fall semester, a 400-level speech communications class and a 600-level elementary education class, were broadcast once a week. The broad- cast was made using three cameras: one set on the teacher, one on the students and another on a fixed horizontal plane that was used instead of a blackboard since writing on a blackboard didn’t show up well on television. Audio communication was main- tained through a conference microphone attached to the instructor and several more suspended from the ceiling. The students in Owensboro were able to see and hear the class in Bowling Green and were able to respond to questions or ask questions themselves. Classes need an enrollment of at least 10-15 students to justify a teacher’s commuting to Owensboro, Overstreet said. When enrollment in a course is not high enough the class is dropped. Before the television courses were offered the students’ only option was to commute to Bowling Green. “It would really be taxing for them to have to make that drive every week,” he said. A TELEVISION camera scans Dr. Cecile Gar- mon’s class. The lecture was being beamed to students watching on television 70 miles away. New waves in education Dr. Cecile Garmon, professor of speech communications, taught one of the interactive television courses in the fall semester. “It’s really so much less hassle than I thought it would be,” she said. Garmon said since she couldn’t see the remote students, she had to remember to ask them questions so she could monitor how well they were following the lecture. Being on camera required that she not move about the classroom as she normally would. She also had to learn not to fiddle with the cord to her microphone as it would cause static in the phone line. Garmon said the television aspect offered advantages not found in a regular classroom situation. Since the classes were videotaped, Garmon got a chance to review her per- formance. “Surely my hair doesn’t look like that from that angle,” she said. Garmon said in the course she taught, cross cultural communications, she gave take-home exams because they “fit in with the scope of the course.” In the event of an in-class exam, the test would be administered by Dr. George Over- street. Twice during the semester Garmon and the Bowling Green students traveled to Owensboro and vice versa. Garmon said she felt it was good for the two groups of students to get to know each other and find out how each was doing in the class. Brad Guthrie, a Bowling Green senior, who was in Garmon’s Bowling Green group, said he did not find the activitiy of the production crew dis- tracting during class and would have no objection to taking another interactive television course. Paula Harrison, an Owensboro gradu- ate student who took a television course, said that even though she preferred “live” class to television instruction, she thought that the interactive television did have positive applications. “I think if you’re trying to reach students in remote areas or offer a class that only a few students need, it’s a good thing. I think it (interactive television) has its place,” Harrison said. FN eT ET ROAR SAO ANTTNN MICROWAVES enable Dr. Cecile Garmon to deliver two lectures at the same time.

Ward had a news program on WKRX. 104 WKRX Radio — by James Borchuck Channelling the changes here has been a change at the lower end of the AM dial. The change was with the campus radio station WKRX, or 58-X for short, self-proclaimed “Your Campus Connection.” A new kind of sound was what was in store at the 580 notch on the radio dial. Or rather, the 580 notch of any radio on campus. WKRX was a carrier Current station, which meant that it broadcast over the electrical and telephone wires on campus rather than over airwaves. Broadcasting over the airwaves would have required the station to get a license from the Federal Communications Commission. WKRX could only broadcast to Downing University Center, Fine Arts Center and all the dorms on campus, Michelle LaRock, a Mt. Washington senior and student station manager of WKRX, said. As for the people off campus, “It’s a quirk of fate if they get us. We've gotten reports of people getting us way down on College Street, but that’s weird,” LaRock said. change of place, format, call letters and equipment, and the transitions weren't always smooth. A change of place brought about a change of face at WKRX when the station moved from the second floor of the Academic Complex to the third floor of the same building. Media Services, which was responsible for the station, bought $10,000 worth of equipment to replace the old. “We had been working with rattletrap equipment for years,” LaRock said. The radio station went through a -=continued on page 106 STATION MANAGER Michelle LaRock, a Bowling Green senior, helps Gerald Schlatter, a Bran- denburg freshman.

We spent the first two or three weeks just straightening out.” Even more time was spent “work- ing the bugs out of $10,000 worth of equipment,” she said. There were “a lot of little quirks” to be worked out after installation, such as the worker who installed a turntable but forgot to put the motor in, LaRock said. During the move, physical plant workers “dumped” the station’s 3,000 records that had been in alphabetical order and the staff had to reorganize the whole collection, LaRock said. Along with the change in place, WKRX changed formats. Formerly, the station was what the staff called “break- ing Top 40.” “We usually succeeded in getting the hits on the air before the local radio stations,” LaRock said. “Now we're just hit radio. We're more like D98 (WDNS) but not as soft as that.” The station used to go by the call letters WKYU-AM, but decided to change because of problems of being confused with the WKYU-FM station. The letters don’t mean anything in par- ticular, LaRock said. “We just picked the ones we liked.” Despite all the changes at WKRX, one important aspect of the station has not changed. 58-X is still run by the students. “We run the station. We only go to Bart (White, Faculty adviser to the station) when we have problems,” La- Rock said. White said, “If you were to ask me what 58-X is, I would have to tell you that it is exciting radio.” The radio station was good for the broadcasting students because it gave them a chance to get “hands-on” experience with the tech- niques used in the radio field, he said. Marta Frank, a Louisville senior and broadcasting major, worked at 58-X for the past two years. “In broadcasting, if , you don’t have experience you can hang it up,” Frank said. “How are you going to get experience in the classroom? That's what the radio station is for.” Frank has participated in the radio program working as traffic manager, taking care of the radio logs, and as public affairs director, reporting on pub- lic interest stories. “Basically, I’m the second news director,” Frank said. Frank, as well as other students in the broadcasting program, got one hour of credit in radio workshop. Students could enroll in radio workshop three times, earning up to three hours credit. Other students work at the station as part of the advanced radio class required “for broadcasting majors, LaRock said. “Most of the radio sequence people will at one time work at our station.” The students of WKRX have worn the changes well and no matter what the call letters stand for, “Some of us like to think it stands for ‘Western Kentucky rocks,” Frank said.

The students of one of Western’s graphic arts class and personnel of the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green were some of those people. Western's Graphic Arts Department was commissioned by the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant to design a magazine commemorating the plant’s first five years in Bowling Green. The 430 graphic design class, taught by assis tant professor of art Albert Wong, was offered the project in No- uto art vember of 1985, and plans to take the offer were made at the first of the year. The magazine served as an employee souvenir citing the highlights of the plant’s half decade in Bowling Green, Bill Lagermann, coordinator of Cor- vette’s five-year anniversary celebration, said. Lagermann said the magazines would be presented to the employees in con- junction with the company’s open house scheduled for June 4-6. The magazines would be sold to the public if the demand were great enough, Lagermann said. The Graphic Arts Department was asked to create the magazine because Corvette wanted “community and uni- versity involvement,” Lagermann said. Although this will not be an an- nual event, the company offered a $500 scholarship to the Graphic Arts Depart- ment in exchange for help with the com- memorative piece. The scholarship was offered for one time only. This is not the first time the depart- ment has done work for the Corvette plant. Two years ago a Western student painted a mural to grace the wall of the company cafeteria. Wong said that the “quality of the mural,” and Western’s good reputation were what brought the plant back for a Tie hata A iene Cae eile tee} second venture with the department. Wong made the Corvette magazine a semester project for the nine-student class. He divided the class into smaller groups, each with the responsibility of working on typography, layout and illus- tration. Bobby Blair, student project coordi- nator and a Bowling Green sophomore, was in charge of setting up meetings with the the Corvette plant to keep officials abreast of the the class’s progress. Blair also worked on illustrations for the magazine. His main responsibility was to design the three-page centerfold for the publication. Blair worked with classmates and fellow illustrators Mike Farnsley, a Bowling Green junior; Alan Vance, a Horse Cave sophomore, and Teresa Brewer, a Springfield, Tenn., senior, to make sure that the art work produced for the project worked with the type size and photo images included on the pages. Donna Perry, a Lawrenceburg junior; ASSISTANT ART professor Albert Wong picks the designs for the Corvette magazine. It marked the plant's first five years in Bowling Green. Amy Gaietto, a Bowling Green junior, and Susan Nininger, a Louisville junior, worked on the layout portion of the pro- ject. They decided what size the maga- zine would be as well as the size of the photographs and the type style. They organized illustrations to make sure that each page of the magazine related to the other pages. Mike Broderick, a Louisville junior, and Vicki Brougher, a Louisville junior, were the copy writers for the project. They were responsible for the articles to be included in the magazine. Although the class members each had specific duties to fulfill, each was given a chance to have an illustration in the magazine. They were also given a chance to compete for the coveted cover illustration that would be in full color. Blair said that even though this was a serious and competitive venture for the class, the members remained “good friends.” “I think that the smal! class and friendly atmosphere helps. Six of the nine people have had classes together before. The fewer the people the more efficient the project—as long as you're dedicated to your work,” Blair said. Wong said he believed that the project will be “a good teaching tool” because instead of sitting in a classroom listening to a lecture, students were gaining hands-on experience by actually doing the work themselves. Nininger said, “It’s a true-life situ- ation, not just a class assignment. It forces you to face reality.” The project required much out-of- class work and took up several weekends, many of the students said. The project was due to go to the printer at the end of April. “Everyone is completely dedicated. Mr. Wong gave us the choice of doing the project,” Blair said. “Even though it has taken up a lot of time, it has been worth it.” STUDENTS ‘susan Nininger, a Louisville junior, and Donna Perry, a Lawrenceburg junior, work on the book with Wong.

Students began with different batters, working with several kinds of textures and consistencies. Both yeast and non-yeast breads were part of the overall food plan. An entire section of the course was devoted to the egg. Custards, om- lettes and souffles made in this class were designed to melt even the most finicky palate. The dishes were not always easy, however. “I'd have to say the chicken kiev was probably the hardest,” Lorie Hagan, a Maceo senior, said.

In 1980, Rudolph, an associate pro- fessor, and Johnson, an assistant pro- fessor, decided to put those theories to the test. The result was Johnson Rud- olph Training and Development, Inc., located at 1004 State St. “We were teaching a lot of students theoretical methods that had not been tested,” Johnson said. Rudolph and Johnson started their business by giving industrial, public speaking and management seminars. “Some people write books, some people do tests, but what Barbara and I were trying to do was to see if what we were teaching in class worked,” Rudolph said. Rudolph, who worked with the Kraft Company before coming to Western, said Johnson helped him adjust to his job at Western. “I was learning from her how Western worked, and she was learning from me how industry worked.” But the business changed some in the summer of 1984. During a seminar in Nashville, Tenn.., Johnson and Rudolph met Marjorie Blanchard, whose husband wrote “The One-Minute Manager.” Blanchard ad- vised them to look into the video busi- ness. “We were kind of looking for a creative outlet,” Rudolph said. “And we really couldn’t keep up the pace with the seminars.” Johnson said that the combination of the seminars and classes was taking up Rudolph and Johnson Putting theories on the market too much time. So when the business changed to educational videos, she felt positive about it, though she had reser- vations. “There's a certain risk factor when you try a new venture,” Johnson said. But both Johnson and Rudolph said they thought the business was doing well. “We figure that if the doors are still open and the bank doesn’t come and take our typewriters away, we're doing okay,” Rudolph said. Though he said there was not much profit, Rudolph believed that they were becoming successful because of the posi- tive feedback the company has received in the form of calls and letters. Rudolph also said that another factor that helped their sales was the fact that there was not much competition. Johnson said, “We're a visually- oriented society at this point, and many professors don’t realize that.” To date, Johnson and Rudolph have filmed two 30-minute videos aimed at people who are college-age and younger. And Rudolph believed they are reaching the group through the film medium. college-age-or-younger “We're just trying to keep up with what’s happening,” Rudolph said. The first tape—shot and produced in Nashville—concerned job interviews for the college student. The second tape was shot and produced in Dallas and was geared toward the job interview for high school students not planning to attend college. Rudolph stressed that the videos did not use a lecture format but were instruc- tional videos that used professional actors. Having no experience with video pro- duction, both Johnson and Rudolph said they learned a lot about things such as script writing, Computerized editing, make-up and lighting. “Everything we had to learn was on- hand experience,” Johnson said. With a production cost of about $50,000 for each video, Johnson said they planned to cover the cost of the second video by the middle of 1986. But the videos were only part of what Johnson called a “media package,” which included a participation workbook, an instructor's manual and overhead trans- parencies. Johnson attributed the success of their business to the fact that what they sell is a “total instructional package.” Rudolph said they reached their typi- COMMUNICATION and Theater professors Barbara Johnson and Evan Rudolph display industrial training and development material in their dowtown office on State Street.

The average consumers included career planning and placement departments of colleges, business schools and high school departments of vocational and business education. “It’s like a mail-order business except we're not selling pots and pans,” Rudolph said. The video packages have sold in Aus- tralia, China, Japan and Canada. Johnson had a theory about what motivated sales. “T think one reason for the popularity of these tapes is that teachers are be- coming more accountable for what a student learns,” she said. A third video is in the works and is aimed at the popular market. “It’s gonna be a video that someone can go into a Waldenbooks store and purchase and learn how to write a resume,” Johnson said. For the future, Johnson and Rudolph have slated videos dealing with manage- ment communication, telephone com- munication and basic interpersonal skills. The projected year of completion of these is 1987. In the meantime, Johnson and Ru- dolph planned to continue working at their business on weekday afternoons, mornings and days off—whenever they could make time. Both said they like their involvement in the video business better than their original venture 1n seminars. “It’s more exciting. It’s movies. It’s Hollywood,” Rudolph said. Johnson expressed her views a little differently: “It is exciting to see an idea that you drew up become real, a tangible product.” WS) Rudolph and Johnson 114 Senior recitals IN ONE OF his last recitals, John Talbott, a Fort Mitchell senior, is assisted by Anne Hale, a Bowling Green resident. sheets of paper stapled together and handed out by a smiling instructor. A “blue book,” pen and a quiet classroom were all that were needed for success. But some students had to sing—or play a musical instrument—for their diploma ina senior recital. Students majoring in music per- formance and music education had to demonstrate that they could put to use the learning from their classes and many hours of practice. Students were required to give recitals during their college careers, though not always for a grade.

Music students registered in a senior recital class scheduled a time for their The time for the per- formances was decided by a scheduling performances. committee, Dillard said. Their performances were graded by the private teacher that conducted the student’s individual lessons. Often this saying that the student had fulfilled the “grade” was a designation requirement for recitals. “They're not given a grade; it’s just recorded. As I understand, now it just says on the transcript that a recital has been given,” Betty Pease, a professor of music, said. “It (the recital) is arranged and coached by their (the students’) pri- vate teacher. It’s usually the teacher he has studied his instrument with.” Pease said that she felt most of the students put much time and effort into the recitals. “I think most of them take it quite seriously, especially when recital time is very close.” Pease’s husband Edward, also a pro- fessor of music, agreed with his wife about how seriously music students took their recital performances. “I think they —Tim Broekema mainly want to make a good showing.” Also, Edward Pease said that many music education majors chose to give a “The senior recital for the music educator is not recital even when not required. required but many of them opt to give them.

But practice still couldn’t eliminate jittery nerves be- fore the performance. “I was more nervous the day of the performance than when the time to per- form came,” Christal Corley, a Green- ville senior, said. “I was scared of being scared during the performance.” Corley said that the audience for her clarinet program wasn’t confined just to music majors of music appreciation students looking for extra credit.

However, those field trip days weren’t over with the days of college education. College students in various classes at Western found them- selves back on the road again. Professors in the journalism depart- ment conducted field trips for students in their classes. Dr. Paula Quinn scheduled trips to the Bowling Green paper, The Park City Daily News, and the Nashville Banner for her newspaper editing classes. Students were not graded on attendance, but were encouraged to go for the learn- ing experience. David Wolff, a Crestview Hills junior, was a student in Quinn's class. He said that the field trips were beneficial and enlightening. “In the classroom you are told how things are done, but on field trips you get the actual view of what is being done.” When Wolff went on the trip to the Banner, he sat in on an editor's meeting. He said the experience was helpful to watch professionals acting in different positions. “The field trips show what you've been learning in actual practice,” he said. Another journalism professor, Jim Highland, made field trips a basic part of his course, public affairs reporting. Students had field trips almost every week and they included going to such places as fiscal court, a Bowling Green City Commission meeting, Warren County Court Clerk’s office, the Warren County Jail and an incest trial in Bowling Green. Highland said, “The main purpose of field trips is for students to learn some- thing they can’t in the classroom. It’s easier to visualize a process when you can see it.” Another class requiring field trips was Agriculture 101. The course was titled as the Science of Agriculture, and was de- signed for non-agricultural majors. Agriculture majors were excluded from gaining credit in the course. Students were required to attend two field trips, one on plant science and an- other on animal science, turning in brief notes on what they observed. Approxi- mately six trips were offered during the semester. Dr. W.C. Normand, professor of Agriculture 101, said that field trips Qn the road © MEMBERS OF THE Agriculture 101 class walk uphill to view operations at a grain silo. The class was designed for students not majoring in agriculture. were important because “there is a lot of | difference between hearing a lecture and seeing some slides than seeing the real thing. We feel it is real-life experience that would be beneficial.” Some of the animal science field trips have included trips to Western’s farm to visit the dairy and swine operations and witness an artificial insemination in pro- gress, Normand said. The plant science trips included visits to tobacco operations and corn planting. In the fall semester, Normand said, WITH HELP FROM a classmate, Louisville freshman Lisa Green straps on her helmet.

The lectures deal with the science of agriculture, how hard sciences are applied to the growing of food. The field trips are like, ‘Forget science. Here's how we do it.”” Freshman Cyndi Cain, a student of Normand’s, said that the field trips were enjoyable. She said “It’s nice to get class credit for someting that you want to do.” A) Lay) Field Trips By Todd Turner Photos by Drew Tarter 10:30 a.m.,” offered an illuminating desk clock in a pleasant he time 1s tone. The quaint Grise Hall office is sup- ported by a full bookshelf on the back wall. A desk is scattered with papers, the clock, a cassette tape version of the Bible, and other odds and ends. Dr. Ronald Milliman rested easily in the stout chair, speaking of his inter- national encounters as a business con- sultant. He is an associate professor in the management and marketing depart- ment. For many years, he has taught in higher education and has been “wheeling and dealing” in real estate affairs and business consulting ventures. The short, middle-aged man_ has worked hard to become a respected busi- ness consultant and college instructor, but in a different situation than most other professors. When he was 8, Milliman acquired a rare disease, Stephens Johnson Syn- drome, which is usually fatal. It left him virtually unconscious for about a month and able to see only partially out of one eye. Then, while wrestling on the varsity high school team, a freak accident left him totally blind at age 17. Miraculously, Milliman regained his sight for about three years through a surgical implant that replaced the work- ing parts of his right eye with a plastic prosthesis. Although his vision was per- fect in the eye, the replacement parts weren't as dependable as the original cornea and lens, and he went through 23 painful surgeries between 1973 and 1976 to improve the prosthesis. Most of the surgeries were done in Houston on weekends and holidays since he was teaching business courses at the Univer- sity of Texas at Arlington. Eventually, he became permanently blind when the retina of the eye was detached. “You do what you have to do is what it yeeing beyond sight comes down to,” he casually said. “Any- body could do it if they had to.” In the academic and the business world, Milliman has done it. Palma Milliman said of her husband, “He’s obviously worked very hard to get where he is today. He is a very unique and special person.” Nevertheless, Milliman has endured to lead a near-normal successful life. Although several problems do present themselves in conducting his classes, Milliman solved virtually all of them. He lectured with the aid of a tape recorder or 3 X 5 note cards with Braille messages to remind him of key points. However, since he lost his sight as an adult, he reads Braille slowly. He didn’t hesitate to call on specific students with questions and encouraged any comments or questions. Usually his graduate assistant called the roll. If not, Milliman called numbers off of Braille cards corresponding to the students’ names, or just had the group sign a sheet of paper. Milliman also used visual aids quite extensively—he wrote on the board for simple diagrams, used videocassette tapes, films, and overhead projectors. Some of his students weren't sure exactly how his classes would operate. Steve Dehler, a Louisville senior, said, “Twas a little bit skeptical.” Tim Bray, a Paducah senior, said, “I didn’t know if he was going to be able to doa good job or not. “T don’t think anyone realized (he was blind) until he first walked in. He over- comes it so well. He listens real well and he’s gota real good memory,” Bray said. Added Dehler, “He always brings up situations he’s had in the business world.” To keep up with the business world and his classes, he received special help. One service to which he subscribes picks out business articles that are pertinent to his needs and puts them on tape for the convenience of those visually impaired. “As a result of that service,” Milliman said, “I’m able to keep up with an in- credible array of publications.” Milliman also has album-like disks that record magazine stories in News- week and U.S. News and World Report. The flexible disks must be played on a special machine. Novels by authors such as Stephen King and Robert Ludlum are available on cassette tapes through a spe- cial Library of Congress program for the blind. : He typically reads about three or four hours per day, often rising at 3 a.m. to begin his studies. Milliman completed his under- graduate work at Eastern Michigan Uni- versity, and then moved on to Arizona State University for further study. After Milliman got his master’s at Arizona State, he got his doctorate in business administration while sporting a 4.0 GPA. In his business career, Milliman has had many articles published in scholarly journals and has taught several training programs. As a business consultant he has helped firms develop or improve their marketing schemes. Among the com- panies he worked with are Texas Instru- ments and the 3M Company in the United States as well as with companies in South Africa and Sweden. “I’ve always been involved in busi- nesses,” Milliman said. “I really consider myself more of a practicioner” than a —continued on page 121 118 Ronald Milliman IN THE TV ROOM of their home, Milliman, his wife Palma and daughter Veronica laugh at their dog, Inga.

He often used his business experiences while teaching three upper-level mar- keting courses, and sometimes invited guest speakers to show the “practical side” of class topics. Milliman has found it quite easy to maneuver through Grise Hall, but it has been a different story learning the prov- erbial ups and downs of Western’s cam- pus. “This campus is probably the most challenging campus I’ve ever been on,” he said with a sigh. But, since he spends nearly all of his time in one building, he said laughing, “I’m not spending a lot of time counting steps and learning side- walks.” Milliman walked stiffly and slowly through the halls. He wavered his cane gently in front of him. He usually waited until the crowds in the hall thinned out before he went back into his office after a class. Occasionally, Milliman was caught out in the lobby area of the second floor while moving back to his office. At times when he has been mixed up or confused, students or faculty members he knows will approach and help him to where he needs to go. However, he has suffered through dif- ficult times at other schools in walking through the halls. He once dropped sev- eral cassettes down a stairwell and no one passing helped him retrieve them. “IT think most people get all tied up within themselves and don’t know what to do,” he said. “As a result, people around us (who aren’t blind) don’t know how to react.” The balance between being dependent on others and being independent is a constant struggle. “What was really difficult was when I got my vision back,” Milliman said. “I was doing everything.” But when he lost his vision old prob- lems returned and he had to rely on others. “I found that exceedingly diffi- cult, being forced to depend on other people for things. “The independence that I do have does not come easy for me,” he said. “I’ve allowed myself to become more de- pendent than I should have.” Palma often helps her husband with GRADUATE ASSISTANT Barry Deweese of Rockport, Ind., helps Milliman locate some mate- rials. Deweese called roll in Milliman’s classes. reading notes and other tasks. She used to drive him to work until they moved to a house on Normal Drive, about a block from Grise. Although Milliman said sometimes she helps too much, “There are other times when I don’t know what I'd do if she didn’t help.” Palma is proud of her husband’s ac- complishments. “It’s kind of hard to be married to a person like that and feel sorry for yourself,” she said. They moved into the house near campus in December. This made it much easier for Milliman to get to class—Palma didn’t have to drive him to campus. “TIL just walk out my front door and up the walk,” Milliman said confidently. To cross the busy street, he listens for traffic and crosses when it is clear. He asks others for help if a lawn mower or other noise doesn’t allow him to hear the automobiles. Milliman likes to think he is an in- spiration to people by staying active even though he is blind. “That’s part of the reason I gotta keep going. They'll say, ‘Hell, if he can do it, it seems like I ought to be able to.’ If I gave up that wouldn't be very good inspiration.” A) 121 Ronald Milliman By Terri Pullen Photos by Allen Hensley | Reentry Center raditionally, the college campuses teemed with 18-year-old high school students who had packed up and headed to school for reasons both good and bad. But that tradition of the young college student was changing. “The number of 18-year-olds available is not as great,” said Dr. Alice Rowe, director of the Reentry Center, a program designed to meet the needs of a new breed of student. “The non-traditional student is a student who comes to school later; some- one who has finished high school, gone to work, then five-to-10 years later decided to go back to school,” Rowe said. Rowe said she had the idea for a service to help non-traditional students for some time before seeing it materialize. “I sub- mitted a proposal to Vice President (Robert) Haynes about the time we had a noticeable drop in enrollment,” Rowe said. Rowe suggested a plan to provide special services for non-traditional students such as help with admissions, advisement and registration. Rowe said the program would be a one-stop office for students reentering the university. “If a student had a ques- tion about, say, financial aid, then we would get that information and make sure the student received it,” eliminating the need to deal with various offices and departments, Rowe said. back Dr. Haynes and then-interim Presi- dent Paul Cook were supportive of the plan and a minimal budget was granted to. establish a pilot program, Rowe said. “Its continuance will depend upon the assessment of reports to Dr. Haynes,” Rowe said, “and also on the number of people served.” By the spring semester, the center had assisted 130 people, mailed out 1600 surveys and set up off-campus meetings at the Bowling Green Public Library for prospective students who could not make it to the Cherry Hall office because of work or family schedules. Also adver- tisements were run in newspapers in Warren and surrounding counties, but Jim Garner, administrative assistant to the Reentry Center, said that many people heard about the services through a one-line ad they ran in “The Country Peddler.” Rowe said, “The whole idea is the fact that these people are not living on cam- pus. We try to handle all the paperwork for them. They have different problems and we have contacts.” Rowe said most of the students had gone to school before. “Eighty to 90 percent attended Western or some other university,” Rowe said. “Programs like this have been started all over the country because changes are taking place so rapidly that they (jobs) require new skills. People who thought they were through with education realized that they need to upgrade in order to maintain their present level (of employment),” Rowe said. The center was necessary to help pros- pective students overcome the fear of getting caught up in the red tape of enrolling in school. “People who have never attended or have been out for 10 or more years tend to be very apprehensive. Some of them feel they won't be able to compete successfully with other students,” Rowe said. However, Rowe said that the opposite was usually true. Non-traditional stude nts “tend to put a great deal more effort into their studies.” Mary Baxter, a Bowling Green junior, was a non-traditional student who received help through the Reentry Center. “The counseling was the most helpful,” Baxter said. “They took all my scattered hours and put it into an Associ- ate of Liberal Arts degree. That gives me some type of accomplishment to show for my long years of work.” Baxter, a mother of three, had at- tended Western in the spring, summer and fall semesters of 1973. She returned in the fall of 1985 to pursue a degree in business. She said the center was essential because “time is so tight” for the non- traditional student that one needs “to be [So ek Cem Fe i oe coe POTENTIAL STUDENT Stacy Fer- y guson talks with assistant administrator Jim Garner. The office was in Cherry Hall. able to pay all your fees and get it all done in one place.” Baxter said that the people at the Re- entry Center knew “the politics of the Hill,” and what they had to do to “get things done.” “Students need encouragement,” Bax- ter said. “The Reentry Center gave me the courage I needed to stick in there.” WHY NOT Rowe planned to make several recom- mendations in her proposal based on the results of the survey. Twenty-five percent of Western students over 25 who were surveyed responded, indicating that they would like one convenient location to provide advisement, registration, fee payment and information about campus services. Rowe said that Cherry Hall was not the “ideal location to pull together all this information. I would like for the office to be off campus someplace. They (the students) can spend one hour with us DIRECTOR of the Reentry Center, Dr. Alice Rowe, displays her publication.

Weeks of planning and preparing culminated for the residents of the Home Economics Management House with their final project, an open house. The apartment was a din of noise as the guests arrived, and the aroma of freshly warmed buns filled the air. Residents invited their families, friends and faculty to the reception to show the skills they had learned and perfected. The women who took the course were required to live in the “house,” or more accurately, the apartments in the base- ment of Bates-Runner for four weeks.

Previously the course was offered every semester, but because of declining interest in the pro- gram, it was only offered in the spring, said Violet Moore, home economics pro- fessor and supervisor of the program. The program was different in many ways from a traditional approach to class- room teaching by offering hands-on ex- perience. The program also offered the women the opportunity to become good friends with one another by working together. They learned to work as a team. Each week they alternated respon- sibilities as cook, housekeeper or as- sistant to both. This may sound easy, but it wasn’t, Judy Robbins, a Jeffersonville, Ind. senior, said, especially for some of the women who had 15 hours of class or more. In the spring there were three women who were married and had fam- ilies, so the sacrifice was bigger for them, Robbins said. Not to be overlooked were the advan- AFTER PREPARING dinner, Rebecca For- sythe, a Morgantown senior, laughs with her guests. The dinner was for faculty tages of living there. One was the cost. It cost the same as a double air-conditioned dorm room for a semester, Robbins said. Robbins said, “We have all the mod- ern conveniences, fully equipped kitch- ens and a washer and dryer.” They were expected to keep everything clean and in good condition. The students were also required to try to better the household through a home improvement project. It was not like a dorm because there weren't really any set rules; we were just expected to act respectful, Robbins said. The women were graded on their per- formance by their “house mother,” Suzan Close, a graduate assistant in home econ- omics education. Close lived in the house for the four weeks of the class and at various times throughout the semester. Close and dis- advantages to living in the house.

Campbell served at a formal dinner party. Campbell said she wanted to have a career since her children were growing up and would soon be off to college. She had previously run a catering business, but that usually took up time on weekends and holidays, when her children would be coming home from school. Campbell’s husband, Charles, said that he “loves it,” and is glad that his wife decided to go back to school. It was something they had been talking about for years. Now they can relate to each other better and have more common in- terests since he was a school super- intendent, Charles said. He also said that he was glad to have his wife back now that the program was over. Kay Hampton, a Morgantown junior, said that she had some new experiences and, “I’ve been a homemaker for 24 years.” Hampton said that the task of cooking Ivs DINNER time at the home economics man- agement house. The cooks got to eat after their guests finished. involved more paper work than she ex- pected. They had to plan a menu for 12 meals a week, write out the recipes and make a grocery list. They were budgeted to spend 85 cents a person per meal. “You can get a lot more with 85 cents than you would think,” Hampton said. Close said that there was always enough food. Another resident, Barbara Sullivan, a junior from Morgantown, chimed in that they were overfed. Hampton said that the basic re- quirements for each meal were that it follow the four food groups, and have a pleasing color and texture. The main thing that the women hoped to learn from this project was how to be better prepared for teaching. They felt that they could indeed use the skills they have learned and better relate to their students. 125 Home Economics’ Apartments he class was having trouble learning the clogging routine—bounce in place four times, then clog forward. After a few false starts, the line of dancers was bobbing together. After that, it looked like the cloggers were dancing to different Bluegrass tunes, each one with a different tempo. The instructor turned the music off. The students tugged on their pants and caught their breaths. The students’ faces looked grim, but that was because clogging is hard work, said Sandi Sears, a Western Headstart teacher. But the hard work “is partly why it’s fun,” she said. “The music is fun to listen to, and it’s fun to hear your shoes.” The music started again, and so did the clogging. This time, it took a bit longer for the dancers to fall out of step. “You ought to memorize this rou- tine,” Claude Cochran, the clogging teacher, said. He walked over to a folding chair and sat down. “We're going do it over and over again until we get it.” The students dragged their feet as they moved to the rear of the classroom and got ready to try it once more. “He's great,” Betty Wood, a switch- board operator at American National Bank, said during a break midway through the class. “He keeps at you until you get it right.” Cochran kept at them, teaching “the hardest folk dance to learn” for eight weeks as part of WKU Afterhours, a non-credit adult education program. Pam Garrett joined the class to learn a folk dance. “T like the idea of doing something that’s indigenous to a culture,” the trained classical violinist said. She said she thought about trying to play Bluegrass music on her violin but changed her mind. “I'm a little afraid to fiddle” because it might ruin her technique, she said. “But I’m not afraid to clog.” The Bluegrass music started again. This time the cloggers not only bobbed together, they clogged forward together. “Keep it loose!” Cochran shouted. But when it came time for the class to clog in place, some of them missed a step and dropped out. The few who kept clogging slowly fell out of step. Cochran stopped the music. “That was too loose,” he said. With about 10 minutes left in the class, the students began to mill around. “Before we close it,” Cochran said, High steppin’ “let’s do it one more time, but a little faster.” A few of the students moaned. “He’s sick,” one of them said. Cochran slid the speed control of the turntable up a few notches and stood in front of the clogging line to lead them. This time, the students watched their teacher clog and most of them kept in step. There weren’t many Bluegrass music clubs in the area where the students could show off their steps, but that wouldn’t keep them from clogging. “You can do it by yourself,” Wood said. Sears said she and her husband Lonnie would clog at home. “We do it when ‘A Prairie Home Companion’ comes on (the radio) Satur- day nights,” she said. “We'll clog in our kitchen.” However, Lonnie Sears said he still wanted to show people what he’d learned. “We can show our family and friends something they can’t do. 4 CLASSMATES LONNIE and Sandi Sears of Auburn dance hand-in-hand to Bluegrass music.

Dan Powell, a 21-year-old Western swimmer, took to the pool, he saw a face he had known all his life. Swimming Coach William A. Powell is his father. “Everyone on the team knows he’s my dad,” Powell said, smiling. But Dan did not believe he got special treatment from either his father or his teammates. ..in most Cases. “If they (teammates) get ticked off at dad, they won't do it in front of me,” Powell said. Powell said he was also different from his teammates in that he felt free to ask the coach to borrow money or the car. Coach Powell said, “In other sports, like football or basketball, you could say the coach is showing favoritism by putting someone in the starting lineup, but in swimming, you can’t. Whoever gets there first is what counts.” And in the 50-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly, Powell did get there first. Last season, Powell’s awards included Most Valuable Swimmer and Midwest Swimmer of the Year. “I try to treat him just as a team member,” Coach Powell said. “At the pool he calls me coach.” Dan, a Bowling Green junior, said he had been swimming com- petitively since he was six, after his father exposed him to the sport. Coach Powell has been a swimming coach for 27 years, first at Michigan high schools and then at Western for the past 17 years. “T really enjoy the college-age kid,” Coach Powell said. He also said he liked the lasting relationships which develop. Such good relation- ships last through time, as was apparent on his last birthday when several former students called to wish him well. “The lasting relationships are important to me,” Coach Powell said. But he said he liked to keep in touch with all age ranges. During the summer, Coach Powell did just that. After teaching a few summer courses at Western, he coached the swim team at the Bowling Green Country Club which included kids ages four and up. “Tt’s kind of a change of pace,” Coach Powell said. And his regular season pace at Western was pretty quick. Coach Powell got to the pool at six in the morning to give the swimmers workouts until 9:30. He taught two classes a day, and then he conducted the main workout for swimmers from about five to six.

The Lady Toppers had defeated Old Dominion in Diddle Arena for the conference championship. 130 Spores families “As far as work-outs, I’m just like anyone on the team,” Powell said. “I do what’s on the board.” “I spend a lot of time at work, but my wife works, too, and the kids are gone,” Coach Powell said. He said he used to rush home to be able to spend time with his three daughters and his son. These days he was likely to get home and find himself going over work material, he said. But Coach Powell said he enjoyed his job despite aspects like fund-raising and the uncertainty of recruiting. “I’m one of those lucky people who is happy with his job,” Coach Powell said. “There is no aspect that is distasteful.” It may be this kind of attitude that has helped him coach Western’s swim team to become the Midwest champions seven out of the past eight years. High morale and good relationships between teammates were also contributing factors, Coach Powell said. “They're not only teammates, they’ re friends,” he said. Coach Powell said he believed that swimmers were closer than other Western sports teams because of their hard work and little public recogniton. And he said such closeness “boils over into team spirit.” “I never seem to have a problem with getting the people psyched up,” Coach Powell said, explaining that he thinks this is one of the team’s strong points. But Coach Powell stressed not only team goals—such as winning the Midwest championship—but also individual goals. And his son had a few he hoped to reach. Dan had been invited to Indiana University for the summer of ’86 to train with “some of the fastest guys in the world.” In August, he would travel to southern Florida to compete in the Senior Nationals, the national championship for that age group in swimming. Dan said his personal hope was to score in the top eight, and that would also get his father the American Swim Coach Association Award of Excellence. But Coach Powell said there is room for improvement in the swim program. He said the main problems are lack of sufficient funding and inadequate facilities. “Some kids come out of high school with better facilities than —Gary Clark ———— ours,” Coach Powell said. “But you gotta do the best you can with what you've got.” As far as future plans, Coach Powell said he plans on staying on at Western. “I'm 49; I’m not too fired up about moving,” Coach Powell said. His son expressed plans to stay on the team for his senior year. “I just got one more year, so I may as well go at it full force,” Dan said. . And he said he would rather have his father as coach because on swim meets he is confident that all necessary arrangements will be taken care of. With another coach, he said he would be uncertain. “T couldn't imagine having it any other way,” Dan said. Another sports figure at Western grew up with the influence of a familiar face that was also in the sport of her choice. Clemette Haskins, a Campbellsville junior, said that her interest in basketball was influenced by a certain basketball player—her father Clem. Clemette, who played on Western’s Lady Toppers team, said the fact that her father played basketball professionally while she was growing up led to a “basketball atmosphere” which helped her get started in the sport. “When you are an athlete, the more you see of the game, the better you become,” said Clem Haskins, former coach of the Hilltoppers. By observing her father during his career, Clemette benefitted from having a basketball coach for a fat her, Clem Haskins said. But he said she also benefitted from the psychological point of being able to use her father as a “crutch” of moral and mental support. But he stressed that college basketball should not have been all fun and games. Haskins said he believed that sports scholarships should be used toward an academic end and not be taken for granted. He said that the least appealing aspect of being a basketball coach was watching “kids come to school and not work towards a degree.” “I was fortunate enough to have good athletes and good students,” Haskins said. He said he also made sure his players knew they should seek to achieve academic goals as well as athletic ones. And Coach Haskins said he tried stressing that point to his daughter. “We don’t discuss basketball at home,” Haskins said. “Never have; never will.” Instead Haskins said he discussed “future goals and things in the real world” with Clemette. Clemette said ‘she didn’t receive any pressure about athletics from her father. “A lot of people get the wrong idea about coach and son or coach and daughter,” Clemette said. She said that her father does not coach her at home or try to make her play basketball “his way.” But she did say an advantage to having a coach for a father was being able to ask questions about the game, knowing that she could respect his opinions. And Haskins said there generally are no problems with other athletes who knew Haskins was her father, though every once in a while, she said, when the men’s basketball team was having a bad season, someone would “say things without thinking about it.” She said she used to get defensive, but takes it in stride now. Haskins said he found no conflict of interest when he coached the Hilltoppers. He said he was very supportive of the Lady Toppers. The aspect of coaching that Haskins said he enjoyed most was the preparation for the games during which he “moulded the players from individuals into a team.” Even though preparing for the basketball season took time, Clemette said that it was hard to find time to spend with her father after the season was over, especially since her father resigned as head coach of the Hilltoppers in April and was in the process of moving to Minneapolis for his new coaching job. “I see him maybe once every two weeks,” Clemette said. Haskins said his decision to move was based on taking advantage of an opportunity that “doesn’t come about every day.” Haskins said he would do it all the same way again if necessary. “I look into the future, not the past,” Haskin said. Clemette said that when she does get a chance to see her father, her relationship is good and she felt free to ask him about family members. “He’s a good coach, but then he’s a good father,” Clemette said.

The Toppers began their season with a first-place finish at their own invitational. Jon Barker, a South Africa senior, battled former West- ern All-American and fellow South African Ashley Johnson and Alabama’s Peter Coglan throughout the race, but fell short to Johnson at the end. Barker still finished well ahead of Coglan to be the first collegian to cross the finish line of the five-mile race. “I had been suffering a bit of tendonitis during the week, but I felt great during the race,” Barker said. Coach Curtiss Long said, “Peter is a tough competitor and he hung in there to give us a good run. | think Jon gave it an excellent effort. He proved that he is one of the best runners around in college today.” The Toppers next traveled to Bloomington, Ind., to compete in the Indiana Invitational. They finished in second place, 27 points behind the host team. The race was highlighted by the second-place finish of Barker and the excellent race by Frenchburg senior Bryan Blank- enship, who finished 20th and had his best race of the season. Following their second-place finish at Indiana, the next race for the team was the Furman Invitational. Western finished a disappointing eighth place despite Barker’s second-place and South Africa junior Phillip Ryan’s 14th-place finishes. The next three runners for the team proved to be the extent of the damage by finishing 5Oth, 64th and 68th. Long said that his team was not well prepared and just did not run well. “When you have two good finishes from your top runners, you then rely on your next three runners, and at Furman, they could not get it together. Jon ran extremely well against the competition and again proved what he is capable of,” Long said. The team next ran in the Alabama Invitational with Barker fin- ishing first and also leading the team to the title. Despite not having an All-American on the team, the squad still managed to win their fifth straight Sun Belt conference cross country title by out-distancing rival South Florida. “Our goal in the Sun Belt race was to break up South Florida’s top five,” Long said. Barker successfully defended his Sun Belt title and Ryan finished second to lead the Toppers’ assault on the rest of the field. Jeff Peeples, a Louisville junior, Steve Metzger, a Park City senior, and Blank- enship finished sixth, seventh and 15th to round out the top five. “To win the Sun Belt was our primary goal,” Ryan said. “We knew what we were capable of, and when it came down to it, we put it on the Riols s| [clown TRY TOWARD Coral F line when we had to.” The victory was insured by the strong performance of Western’s fifth man, Metzger, with his 15th-place finish. The conference meet was the peak of excitement for the team, but somehow they could not carry it through to the NCAA District III race. The Toppers finished 15th, below Sun Belt foe South Florida. “It was just a total letdown; we did not give it a quality effort,” Long said. Barker ended his season and cross country career on a sour note by finishing 34th and not qualifying for the NCAA finals. “T just had a bad race on the wrong day to have it. I had beaten every runner in the race except one during the season. I just did not have it that day,” Barker said. Long summed up the season, “It was a great learning experience and we will be back next year to go after our sixth Sun Belt title.” The women’s team, also coached by Long, had one goal at the beginning of the season—to win the first women’s cross country Sun Belt conference title. To do this, they had many obstacles to over- come. The team began its season with an excellent performance at their own tournament led by Ontario, Canada, sophomore Kathi Morland and Hicksville, N.Y., sophomore Ellen Gluf. The team finished third, despite losing Kitty Davidson, a Greenbrier, Tenn., junior, witha knee injury that she sustained during the race. “WKU Invitational was by far my best race of the year. After that I was sick, but at WKU, I had it all together,” Morland said. The women eventually achieved their goal at the conference meet by winning the title in its first year as an official conference event. Gluf led Western’s attack with a second-place finish while ailing Morland finished sixth. Beth Milay, a Guston sophomore, finished seventh, Davidson finished fifth, and Michele Leasor, a Shepherdsville fresh- man, finished eighth. “During the Sun Belt race, we ran as a team. We talked to each other during the race and that kept everybody going hard,” Morland said. “Once Ellen (Gluf) took off after the leaders, we packed together.” Unlike the men, the Lady Toppers carried that momentum to the district meet by finishing 11th out of 26 teams. “We wanted to do better than last year and we did. That made our season even better,” Milay said. “Our goal is to defend our Sun Belt title next year, and by the time we are seniors, we want to qualify for the NCAA finals,” Gluf said.

UPS AINID DOWINS IN) the season rolled around there were only two things to say about the Hilltopper foot- ball team: they were inexperienced in key posi- tions, and faced the possibility of an up-and-down season like the last. The Hilltoppers were young and finished with a 4-7 record, which included wins over Tennessee State and archrival Murray State. “We got better as the season went on,” Roberts said. “The players played hard all year and we have finally got the people adjusted to our kind of offense.” The Toppers’ season was a big improvement from last year’s 2-9 record because the team had time to adjust to the new offense that head football Coach Dave Roberts installed last season. The Toppers played a brutal schedule which in- cluded top-ranked Middle Tennessee State, I-AA playoff quarterfinalists Akron and Eastern Ken- tucky as well as TSU and Murray State. “We had a very hard schedule this season,” Roberts said. “I think that we were a very good 4-7 team and I am very proud of my team.” The first game of the season put the Hilltoppers against Tennessee State, who had a 12-game winning streak and was ranked number one in preseason polls.

Next it was north to Springfield, Mo., to take on the Bears of Southwest Missouri State. The Toppers were unable to control the football as the Bears won, 47-7. Western, which is known mostly for its ability to throw the football, kept the ball on the ground which hurt the Toppers as they were only able to come up with 208 yards of total offense compared to the Bear’s 626 yards.

With a four-game losing streak on the line, the Toppers traveled to Orlando, Fla., to take on the Knights of Central Florida and to try bringing a win back to Bowling Green. With the running of Glendell Miller, an Owensboro senior, and the passing of Cesarone, the Toppers were able to thrash the Knights, 47-17. Miller rushed for 96 yards on 15 carries and Cesarone passed for 218 yards and three touchdowns which brought the Toppers’ record to 2-4 on the season. The next game was the one that the Toppers looked forward to every season—the clash with cross-state rival Eastern Kentucky. For the past two seasons the Toppers gave the Colonels fits, tying them in ’83 and defeating them 17-10 last year. However, this season the underdog Toppers ran into a brick wall as the Colonels defeated Western 51-21. Homecoming was the next game on the Toppers’ schedule as they were set to take on hapless Morehead State which had a record of 1-7 coming into to the contest. The Toppers were hoping for a big day to boost their record to 3-5. The Tops boosted their record but had a tough time defeating the Eagles as W KU had to rally froma 13-0 deficit to defeat MSU 26-13. Cesarone had another record-setting day as he broke three records. 138 Football —Alan Warren INA PLAY, against Middle Tennessee State University, Western's Hilltoppers move down the field on an offensive play. The Toppers were defeated by the MTSU Blue Raiders, 41-9. He became the Toppers’ all-time leader for completions in a season (171), net yards for a season (1,957) and career completions (294). The Toppers then traveled down to Murfreesboro, Tenn., to take on the top-ranked Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. The Toppers had hopes of upsetting the number-one team in the nation for the second time this season. However, MTSU cut through Western, 41-9. ; Although the Eastern Illinois Panthers had embarrassed the Top- pers last season 50-19, the Toppers had different ideas this season. They got the short end of the stick, however, losing to the Panthers 14-13 in the final minutes of the game. The scene was then set. Murray State traveled to Bowling Green with a chance to gain an at-large bid to the division I-AA playoffs. A big win over the Toppers would have assured the Racers a spot in the playoffs. However, it wasn’t meant to be. The Toppers put together a strong performance and scored in the closing minutes of the game to give the Tops a 27-25 victory ending the season at 4-7. “I think at the beginning of the season we were hurting for experienced people in key postions,” offensive tackle Barry Anderson, a Nashville, Tenn., junior, said. “I think we got better during the season and that will help for next year.” Stacey Johnson, a Henderson senior, said, “I was disappointed with the season.

But when the volleyballs were put away in Diddle Arena, his squad was in fourth place and had gained much-deserved respect from other conference foes. “We set a goal at the beginning of the year to make it to the Final Four,” Daniel said, “and we did it.” The team’s won-loss record wasn’t indicative of how they played, though. “Our girls improved a lot this year,” Daniel said. “Actually, we did a little better than I thought we would, considering how tough our schedule was. ” Daniel’s squad took on North Carolina twice in the season, and the Tarheels were ranked as one of the top-20 teams in the South. The Toppers also went up against Sun Belt champion Virginia Comm- onwealth four times, and the Rams had the longest winning streak in the nation for the year. “Our losses came because we're not used to playing with the constant intensity that these teams exhibit every game,” Daniel said. Excluding the Topper Tournament and the Sun Belt Tournament, the netters only played three matches at home, which didn’t enhance their final record any. They started the season out with a strong win at Middle Tennessee, but dropped eight of their next nine matches on the road, bringing them into the Sun Belt Mid-Season Tournament witha 2-8 standing. And things only got worse for the Lady Toppers. They lost every match they played in the conference tournament, handing them a last-place finish. Despite the finish, captain Kathy Moran, a Louisville senior, had an excellent tournament and landed a spot on the all-tournament team. From that point, the Tops lost six of their next eight contests and saw their record fall toa sluggish 4-19. However, good things were awaiting for Daniel’s squad in the Topper Tournament. The team won four matches and lost only one. And that was in the semifinals against highly-touted Southeast Missouri, who were 20-5 going into the tournament. The Hilltoppers led Southeast Missouri 14-8 in the first game, but when they couldn’t get that final point to secure the win, their opponent came back to take the game and, eventually, the match. Beth Ryan, a Louisville junior, and Moran were recognized for their outstanding play by being named to the all-tournament team. The only two seniors on the squad were Ryan and Moran, but Daniel will certainly miss their play. “Both girls have just done a super job for us,” he said. “They’re the kind of players a coach wishes he had six of.” Next year largely rests on what kind of recruiting season the Toppers have. “And it’s hard to get the best players when we can only offer them book scholars hips,” Daniel said. “It’s tough for us to compete against schools who offer full rides, but that’s what we have to do. “I’m extremely happy with the effort the girls put forth this year—we re very proud of them.” by Lucretia Lawrence TAKING A breather, Susan Hayes, a Louisville freshman, sits out during the match between Western and Kentucky Wesleyan College.

Burnett was named the Banshee Tournament MVP. AFTER GETTING tackled, Andy Bally of MTSU holds his head in pain. Eight teams from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennesee participated in the two-day tournament over Easter weekend. —Steve Hanks A BANSHEE BASH RRERE were no pads or helmets to be seen as players moved the ball down field. Thirty sweaty men, clothes torn and smeared with dirt, were playing rugby in the 5th Annual Coors Banshee Classic. Western hosted the Classic that was held on Easter weekend, March 29 and 30. The fans there were die hards who didn’t mind the 75-degree heat. They just put on their shorts, brought out the suntan oil and kicked back in the grass as the players sccummed, passed, kicked and sweated in their long sleeves. Eight teams from Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana played in the two-day tourney. The teams of 15 men played Rugby Union. There were rules and procedures that governed the game, so it wasn’t as haphazard as it might have looked to an amateur spectator. Seasoned fans and side-lined players were more than willing to tell the amateur observers what was happening. Only the captains of the teams were allowed to speak to the referee, and then they had to refer to him as “sir.” Western didn’t use “sir” very often in the three games they played. Instead, they tried to rally each other on. In the first game Saturday, Western lost, 14-12, to Eastern Kentucky in a close match. The second game wasn’t close at all, as Western mauled Indiana University’s B squad, 30-0. On Sunday, Western played in the consolation match with I.U.’s A squad and lost, 9-0. Another gentlemanly action of the sport was the line out at at the end of the game where players congratulated each other. And the players went on congratulating each other into the night as they mobbed the J.C. Pavillion for the annual bash. About 700 people attended the event that was also a fundraiser for the We stern team. “The Banshee has been a proving ground and a chance to socialize with fellow collegiate rugby players from throughout the mid-south region of the nation,” David Mudwilder, tournament director and Bowling Green senior, said ina letter to his fellow ruggers. Socializing was a big part of the weekend for spectators and players alike as they played traditional rugby games at the party, such as the elephant walk and the slide. The tourney and party were the result of a lot of planning. John Dunham, a Louisville sophomore, said, “It took about a year to organize. People had to help with advertising. We had to find a sponsor and get lots of people to help with the party. It’s like playing hostess, and you want everything to go smoothly.” Before the weekend, they had to warn the players to find a place to stay. But Dunham said, “We housed some of the players in the dorms and apartments. Others pitched tents near the playing field. The ones with the bucks got a motel room.” Bucks aren’t seen a lot in rugby. It was a poor man’s sport. “All you need is a jersey and a ball,” Dunham said. But some schools such as Vanderbilt University actually budget university money for the program, Dunham said. “But most schools don’t; we’re on our own.” _ The program was considered very secondary in athletics. That didn’t hurt the team’s reputation any, though. Dunham said that the Banshee Classic is “ranked in the top 10, guarantee it.” A) By Robyn Libs 143 Rugby soccer team set a record for wins and STIRUCIK GOLD GoOAGH David Holmes’ strikers entered the 1985 season with three goals: to win more games than any other Western team, to be the best team in Kentucky and to win the first round of the Sun Belt tournament, a feat the Hilltoppers had never accomplished. But Holmes refused to make those standards easy to accomplish, setting the roughest schedule a Western team has ever seen. “T purposely chose a tough schedule,” Holmes said, “because we’re trying to build a program and get the best recruits from this area.” Perhaps murderous was the adjective the coach should have used to describe the menu of teams the Tops faced. Western saw the top- ranked teams in both the NCAA and the NAIA, Evansville and Alderson-Broaddus respectively, and most of the top-10 teams in the Great Lakes region. The result... Western won 12 matches, breaking the record of nine held by the 1983 team. Their 12-9 record tripled the number of wins of the 1984 bunch, and marked the first winning season ever. Because of the progress of soccer at Western, Holmes was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year. “I’m flabbergasted,” Holmes said of the honor. “It means that the other coaches in the conference have realized the improvement of this team.” ‘Western rivaled Kentucky Wesleyan as the best team in the state. Western came back from a 2-1 deficit to beat Wesleyan on Sept. 18 in what Holmes called “the best game I’ve ever seen a Western team play since I started coaching here.” The Wesleyan showdown was one of the many gems played in the Toppers’ first year in Smith Stadium. Western played Evansville and Alderson-Broaddus to 3-2 losses in Smith. The A-B match was the final of the second annual Bellotti- Western Kentucky Invitational Tournament.

The Brescia team suffered a defeat at the hands of the Hilltoppers who tri- umphed in the contest 4-0. 40-yard direct kick that would have tied the match, but the ball hit the top of the goal and the Tops lost. “That was the closest game those guys (A-B) have seen all year,” Holmes said to his team after the game. Western fans also enjoyed a record chase—not Pete Rose’s hitting record chase, but junior transfer Mecit Koydemir’s goals chase. Koydemir, from Ankara, Turkey, scored 21 goals, stealing Victor Hayes’ school record of 19, set in 1982. Koydemir won all-conference honors, leading the Sun Belt in scoring all year long. He scored five goals ina 5-0 drumming of New Orleans in Louisiana. “It feels okay to have the record,” Koydemir said. “But I want to emphasize the other guys’ hard work. They helped mea lot.” Koydemir’s exploits helped Western to a fourth seeding in the Sun Belt tourney, their highest seeding ever. “To be honest,” goalie Kevin Duffey, a Nashville, Tenn., senior, said, “this was our best chance ever to win the tournament.” Pitted against fifth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth, Western lost a 1-0 heartstopper in the first round, just barely failing to accomplish their last objective. “It was a disappointing loss,” Holmes said. “I felt bad for the seniors who have been through the tough times in Western soccer. “But this has been a great season. Everybody on the team will have a lot of good memories.” Duffey, who combined with Lexington freshman goalie Lee Walton for a school-record five shutouts; Doug Gorman, a Hopkinsville senior, and Chris Boroweicki, an Oak Grove senior who was injured for most of the season, agreed they would remember how Holmes made Western soccer into a respectable program out of a club sport. “Since Coach Holmes has been here,” Borowiecki said, “the pro- gram has just been getting better and better. We were just playing teams in the state before, and now we are playing the best in the by Joe Medley country.” 144 Soccer AS MIKE IRBY , a Clarksville, Tenn. freshman, looks on, junior Mecit Koydemir of Ankara, Turkey, lines up the ball.

The Hilltoppers opened their 1985-86 campaign with seven wins in a row, their best in 15 years. Western reeled off eight straight wins at the start of the season in 1970-71. But then Christmas break set in. The festive holiday was not too kind to the Toppers, who went 2-3 after the 7-0 start. The first loss was against the Louisville Cardinals, 73-70, in the Toppers’ first away game of the season. “Everyone was saying how we never win on the road,” said Billy Gordon, a Jackson, Miss., senior. “Well, we didn’t win, but it showed some people that we can play away from Diddle (Arena).” Gordon had top-scoring honors for Western with 28 points—18 in the first half. Bryan Asberry, a Gary, Ind., junior, also gave the Toppers a spark by scoring 15 points. James McNary, an Owensboro sophomore, dished out 1 1 assists to help the cause. “We had a veteran guard play for the Louisville game and all of last season,’ assistant coach Don Evans said. “We've started so hot, and the Louisville game showed we can play with anybody in the country.” DURING A GAME against South Alabama University, Western’s forward guard Tellis Frank tries to block a shot.

Western was defeated by Alabama Birmingham 45-57. SWISHFUL THINKING The Toppers succumbed to the Cards’ full-court pressure and turned the ball over.22 times during the game, giving Louisville the win. Another downfall of the Christmas break was that three Toppers quit the team. Mike Ballenger, a Jasper, Ind., senior and starter for much of the 1984-85 season, decided to concentrate more on his baseball career at Western. Brian Fish, a Seymour, Ind., sophomore, transferred to Marshall to get more playing time, and Michael Rutledge, a Centerville, Ala., sophomore, transferred to Brescia College. “They weren't happy because of their lack of playing time,” Evans said. Coach Clem Haskins said that Rutledge was “just not ready to be a Division I post man.” “Tt took time to adjust without them,” said Gordon, the team leader, “but we pulled it together after the break.” But the new year brought better luck for the Toppers. They won eight of nine games, including two victories over the University of Alabama-Birmingham. “We finally beat a nationally ranked team on the road,” Evans said. Haskins’ prediction that Gordon would get hot in January came true as Gordon canned a 15-footer with five seconds left in overtime. The second game between the Sun Belt rivals also was won by Western. It was an enormous showing by the Toppers in front of 13,300 screaming fans in Diddle Arena. continued on page 148 1im Broekema 147 Basketball SWISHFUL CONT. continued from page 147 “I feel like we had great attendance at the game,” Gordon said. “With us winning, it made it all the better.” The Toppers led by as many as eight before intermission, and were up at halftime, 44-36. Ray Swogger, a Buffalo, N.Y., sophomore, came off the bench to score 12 points and nine rebounds. Tellis Frank, a Gary, Ind., junior, had 17 points and 12 rebounds. Gordon finished with 20 points.

The next week, Western finally cracked the Associated Press Top 20. The 19th-ranked Toppers made sure its venture wouldn’t be short-lived by beating Jacksonville, 51-46. The ranking ended a 15-year drought. “Tt gave us a lot of confidence,” said Clarence Martin, an Alexander City, Ala., junior. “It showed people that we were not out here playing hard for nothing.” But the following week, the Toppers fell out for good by losing to Old Dominion, 74-61. It was the second time Western lost to them. The Monarchs only shot 47 percent but still managed to win. The Toppers ended the regular season losing three of their last six games. All three losses were away games against Sun Belt opponents. “All things considered, the players, the coaching staff and I were pleased,” Haskins said. “But, we can see signs of bigger and better things for Hilltopper basketball.” Western finished second in the Sun Belt witha 10-4 record. The Toppers blitzed South Florida, 57-46, in the opening round of the Sun Belt tournament. But, the Toppers lost in the semi-finals to Alabama-Birmingham. Starting forward Frank fouled out of the contest with 8:09 remaining, and Kannard Johnson, a Cincinnati, Ohio, junior, exited at the 3:07 mark. “We missed some shots in the first half, and that told the story of the game,” said Martin. “That game proved that the Sun Belt has gotten a lot tougher.” The loss still didn’t deny the Toppers from appearing in the NCAA tournament along with three other Sun Belt teams—Jacksonville, Old Dominion and UAB. “That speaks highly of the Sun Belt Conference to have four teams making the field of 64,” Evans said. “It helps when recruiting, because high school students will realize this league is strong.” Western beat Nebraska, 67-59, but lost to Kentucky, 71-64 in the second round. Even though the Toppers finished the season on a sour note, Coach Haskins was already looking forward to next season. “T really feel good about next year,” he said. “All I can say is next year everybody better look out.” WESTERN CENTER Clarence Martin, an Alexander City, Ala., senior, blocks a shot put up by Louisville's Billy Thompson.

The Lady Toppers then reeled off five consecutive wins before entering the Communiplex Holiday Classic held in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they easily walked away with the tournament win. : In the first game of the tournament, the Lady Toppers blistered Xavier, 122-43. Mason led the Tops with 20 points. It was the second time during the season that they scored over 100 points in a game. The first was the Dec. 9 meeting against Middle Tennessee. The Tops drilled MTSU, 103-78, behind a strong per- formance from Kami Thomas, a Bowling Green junior. Thomas scored 3 1 points for her season-high game. In the final game of the CHC, the Lady Tops had no trouble defeating the University of Cincinnati, 87-43. Mason again led the team with 23 points and 11 rebounds. The Lady Toppers then were on the road to the Las Vegas Bud Light Tournament in Las Vegas, Nev. They breezed through the tour- nament, defeating both their opponents by more than 20 points. In the opening round of the Bud Light tournament, the Lady Toppers beat Kansas State, 95-69, behind the scoring of Mason and Thomas with 24 points each. Mason also led the team in rebounding with 10. In the final game of the tournament, the Lady Toppers defeated California Berkley, 81-59, with the help of Thomas, scoring 20 points, and Mason, grabbing 14 rebounds.

The Lady Toppers finished the season with a record of 32-4. during the season the team reached the 100-point mark. The Lady Tops then went down to Athens, Ga., to meet the second-ranked Lady Bulldogs. It was a rematch of the semi-finals game of last year’s Final Four where Georgia defeated Western. The Bulldogs defeated the Lady Tops, 93-61. The loss marked the worst shooting of the year by Western, a dismal 28 percent. Mason, however, scored 19 points. “In the next four games of the season, the Lady Tops faced Sunbelt Conference opponents. Western was successful in winning all four games, giving them a perfect 8-0 Sunbelt record, as well as the regular season Sunbelt Conference championship. Next, it was off to Anchorage, Alaska, for the Northern Lights Tournament. The Lady Tops won two of three to place third. Then it was the Sunbelt Conference Tournament, this year held in Diddle Arena. The Lady Tops won the first game, defeating UAB, 80-53. Thomas scored 22 points and Mason grabbed 10 rebounds. With the win over UAB, Western then faced Old Dominion in the championship game. They defeated ODU, 69-61, with Mason scor- ing 26 points and and pulling down nine rebounds. Finally, the Lady Tops played at the NCAA Tournament. The Tops reeled off wins against St. Joseph’s, James Madison and Rutgers in the East Regional before losing to Texas in the semi-final game of the Final Four. “We didn’t play well,” Thomas said. “When Lillie got her fourth foul so early in the game, that hurt us.” Nonetheless, the season was a great one for the Lady Toppers, finishing with a 32-4 record. Another highlight was Mason being selected for the first team of the Kodak All-American team—the first time a Lady Topper has received such an award.

This trip to the Final Four was even more important for the team because the Lady Top- pers were the only team on Western’s campus to repeat a Final Four appearance. “We had a great year.

Again, Mason led the Lady Tops in scoring and rebounding. Mason had 18 points and eight rebounds, while Haskins led the team with 1] assists. With the win over James Madison, the Lady Toppers faced Rutgers University next in the tournament. It was Thomas who dished out 22 points to lead the Lady Tops to an 89-74 win. Mason again led the team with 16 rebounds as did Haskins with 11 assists. “In the Rutgers game, we played the best team defense we played all year,” Thomas said. Overall, “We played the best (game) we played all year.” The win over Rutgers sent the Lady Toppers on their way to Lexington to compete in the Women’s NCAA Final Four along with Texas, Tennessee and Southern California.

But Haskins said she was excited just to be in the Final Four games. “Going once to the Final Four was great, but twice is almost unheard of,” she said. Haskins said support from fans was also a positive influence. “It was the greatest feeling to come out and see I don’t know how many people,” she rec- alled. “There were so many red towels, it gave me chills.” Though the Lady Toppers lost in the Final Four, team members enjoyed some victories.

But, this year the tourney trail was cut short when the Toppers faced the Wildcats. “We felt like it was a good challenge,” said Gordon. “None of us had ever played Kentucky, and we were really excited about it.” It was all Kentucky for the first 30 minutes of the game. Western then chiseled a 16-point lead to only four, 63-59, with 3:55 remaining. “We showed a lot of character by not folding,” said Tellis Frank, a Gary, Ind., junior. “But Lady Luck could have smiled on us a little more.” Aggressive play by Kentucky secured the vic- tory. The 6-8 “Sky” Walker was a one-man scoring machine hitting 11 of 11 from the field and 10 of 13 from the free throw line. “We knew Walker would get his points,” said assistant coach Don Evans, “and that game proved to me that he is not only a good player, but he is a great player.” “We knew we weren’t going to stop him totally,’ Gordon said. “But we never expected him to make about everything he threw up.” “T’ve seen him have good games,” said Ka- nnard Johnson, a Cinncinati, Ohio, junior, who had to guard Walker, “but I’ve never seen him go perfect.” Besides Walker’s 32, Winston Bennett had 13 and Ed Davender had nine. Cedric Jenkins, a Dawson, Ga., sophomore, —Greg Lovert sparked the second half with nine points, in- cluding a couple late baskets. “Walker was great, but Jenkins killed us,” Evans said. The Toppers shot 41 percent for the game, and only 37 percent for the first half. Only two Toppers had hot hands. Johnson scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds, and Gordon ended his Hilltopper career scoring 14 points. “We couldn’t cash in on a couple of shots after we made a great run at it,” Haskins said. “Ken- tucky is a great team.” Western advanced to the second-round game with a 67-59 win over Nebraska, March 14. To most basketball fans it would seem that the Toppers would be overlooking the Corn- huskers and concerning themselves more with the Wildcats. But that’s not the case, Evans said. “We knew we had to beat Nebraska,” he said. “They were a tough team, but our size helped.” Gordon also agreed that they weren’t con- cerned about Kentucky. “The fans and media said that. We were concerned about Nebraska’s quickness.” The Cornhuskers’ speed didn’t help as the Toppers sank all eight of their foul shots in the final 53 seconds of the game, six by McNary, to seal the victory. Ray Swogger, a Buffalo, N.Y. junior, led the Toppers with 16 points. He was followed by Keith Lickliter, an Indianapolis freshman, with 12; Clarence Martin, an Alexander City, Ala., junior, with 11 and Johnson with 10. “We had a fine season, and the future is look- ing brighter,” Martin said.

The twins were practicing at the Bowling Green Country Club course. BACK TROUBLE SENDS VICKIE to physical therapy and forces her to quit the golf team. A car accident which both girls were in in October caused Vicky's trouble. 158 Golf ewins SULIT the sport of golf, players often spoke of a birdie, par, hole-in-one and a double bogie, but seldom, except at Western, do golfers hear of a double-take. Yet twin sisters Vickie and Valerie Vaughn, Vestavia Hills, Ala., juniors, gave Western’s golf team a new phrase. “Our grandad and mom started us playing golf about age “nine,” Valerie said. “I hated it sometimes, but we stuck it out,” the dark-complexioned brunette said. Her near mirror-image sister agreed, flashing the brilliant smile which they also share. “Neither of us thought we'd continue in college, but we decided to about a month before (high) school was out,” Valerie said. When the two looked at universities to attend, they searched for one which had a women’s golf team—a rare college sport. They attended Troy State University in Troy, Ala., in 1983. “We were both looking for a bigger school, but not too big,” Valerie said. “We thought it would be good to get out of Alabama,” her twin said, “but we'd never thought we'd go north.” The two discovered Western by searching through library books. “Not very many people decide to transfer to a school just because they read about it ina book,” Valerie said. The twosome shared more than a love for golf, however. Both mass communications majors with psychology minors, the look-alikes liked being able to share clothes and school books. “It really cuts down onexpenses,” Valerie said. They conceded though that there were disadvantages to being OO sC—=.. RAIN PLAGUES VALERIE and Vickie as they walk to class with umbrellas up.

Even on our birthdays, we still get two cakes,” she added. During 1985 the twins were involved in a car accident which hurt their golf game, they said. “I would say our best year was fall 1984, spring ’84,” Valerie said. Valerie, who played at position five for the team, usually fared better in competition. However, the stress didn’t appear to strain their relationship. “When you're playing, you're playing for yourself, not against someone else,” Vickie said. “I always am happy for her,” she said. The two have run into a few problems on campus because they are twins. “One day Vickie went to cash a check. I went 30 minutes later and the lady said you can’t cash more than $40 a day,” Valerie said. “Did that happen to me or you?” Vickie said. “I’m not sure, but anyway the lady was really embarrassed when she found out we were twins,” Valerie said. In 1987 the two sisters will go their separate ways.

Western beat Auburn, 7 1-58. Classic game. This was the sixth Wendy's Classic Championship. Wendy's Classi AL FI TIER Fae straight years of losing in the their own tournament championship, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers won their first Wendy’s Classic. The Toppers’ 71-58 championship victory over the |2th-ranked Auburn Tigers left most of the fans who witnessed the game saying, “It’s about time.” The tournament, attended by only 9,000, hosted the second-smallest crowd in the history of the six-year affair. Topper fans had become used to seeing their team play a good ballgame, only to find a way to surrender victory in the concluding minutes of the game. But this year the outcome was different. Instead Coach Sonny Smith’s Tigers surrendered their shot at winning the Classic. To make it to the final round, Western defeated the Cham- inade Silverswords, 101-75, in the first night of competition. The Silverswords were a Division II] team from Hawaii that had beaten Virginia, Louisville and Southern Methodist. In that game, forward Tellis Frank led the Toppers in scoring with 23 points followed by Kannard Johnson who shot for 22 points. However, Auburn had to struggle to advance to the champ- ionship game by beating Kentucky Wesleyan, 70-61. The final game against Auburn gave the Hilltoppers a chance to gain national respect and provided Johnson, who was a pre-season All-American honorable mention, an opportunity to ° prove himselfagainst first team All-American Chuck Person. Despite the fact that Auburn had been third in the nation in rebounds the previous year, Western out-rebounded the Tigers 32-28. The Toppers beat the Tigers at their own game. “They just intimidated us on the inside and that’s usually what we do to other people,” Smith said. Johnson and Person didn’t disappoint the crowd as Johnson led the Toppers with 24 points and 10 rebounds, while Person had 25 points and six rebounds. One example of the Toppers’ domination of the boards was when point guard James McNary, a 5-foot-11-Owensboro sophomore, rebounded his own missed shot and put it in despite Auburn’s 6-foot-7 Jeff Moore's efforts to block the shot. IN THE second half of the Wendy's classic champion- ship ballgame, Au- burn’s Jeff Moore fouls Kannard John- son, a junior from Cincinnati, Ohio. Johnson tallied up 24 -points for the game “That was the key right there—offensive rebounding,” Smith said. “We tried to live by the jumpshot, but we couldn't get a rebound when we had to and they just took it to us, plus their guards were a lot better than we thought.” McNary had eight points and 10 assists for the night while Billy Gordon, a Jackson, Miss., senior, had 12 points in the second half, and added four assists and two steals. Gordon showed his experience by giving the Tops some much-needed guidance after the Tigers’ All-SEC guard Frank Ford made a three-point play that brought the Tigers to within 56-49 with 5:05 remaining in the contest. “[ have to admit that (losing) was on my mind,” Gordon said after the game. “I've seen a lot of things happen here in three years, so right before he (Ford) shot the free throw, when we huddled up I told the guys, ‘Don’t relax. We haven’t won anything yet.”” “T really never thought that we would lose it, but yeah, Billy did sort of remind us of what had happened in the past,” said Clarence Martin, an Alexander City, Ala., senior. The win was also big relief for Head Coach Clem Haskins who had borne the brunt of the embarrassment of losing five straight Wendy’s Classic. “You know I’m walking on air right now. I had a feeling we were going to win tonight. I really did. We proved tonight that we can play with a nationally-ranked team. But I owe it all to my players. They can either make a head coach look good, or make him look bad. Tonight they were fantastic. I just can’t say cnough about all of them. Clarence Martin and Ray Swogger didn’t make the All-Tournament team but they should have. They were super.” Swogger, a junior transfer student from Buffalo, N.Y., contributed eight points and three assists coming off the bench. Johnson was named the Most Valuable Player of the tourney, while Frank and Person were named to the All-Tourney team along with Wesleyan’s Dave Bennet and Chaminade’s Francis Fletcher. by Steve Givan 161 Wendy's Classic The FOREIGN LEGION AOR! many people, succeeding in sports was the perfect American dream. At Western, this dream included people beyond American boundaries and was made a reality by the foreign atheletes who competed as members of the Hilltopper teams. “T came over to do a job—to run,” said Jonathan Barker, a senior from Capetown, South Africa, who ran for the cross county and track teams for four years. When Barker competed in South Africa, he won national cham- pionships and was recognized by some colleges in the United States. But Barker picked Western because of its smaller size, and while here at Western, Barker has been, as cross country and track coach Curtiss Long said, a “quality runner for the team.” Barker was referred to Long by Ashley Johnson, a former Western runner who competed against Barker in South Africa. In Barker’s four-year college career he was an All-Sun Belt Con- ference runner, meaning he was among the top five runners in the entire conference. During his junior year, Barker was a co-champion with four other Hilltopper teammates at the Sun Belt championship. In that meet the five runners placed first through fifth when they clasped hands and broke through the finish line, scoring a perfect 15 points. During his senior year, Baker was champion of the Sun Belt Championship meet. He also competed in indoor track, a sport that South Africa didn’t have. Being from another country, though, doesn’t make Barker any different from the other atletes on his team. “he has the characteristics common to other athletes regarding his spirit,” Long said. Barker has “provided leadership” for the team and was a “hard trainer’ Long said, but that it was common for most foreign athletes, who put in a larger commitment to their sport by going so far away from home to play. But Barker wasn’t the only student who traveled a long distance to play sports for Western. Mercit Koydemir, an Ankara, Turkey, junior, used his skills at soccer to “get my education.” While living in Nashville, Tenn., Koydemir heard about Western's soccer program and tried out for the team. “Soccer is much more popular in Turkey,” Koydemir said, but “soccer (in America) is played in more of a professional level.” In Turkey, the sport went straight from the junior level to the pro- fessional level. Sports programs in other countries were given a different emphasis than programs in the U.S., which was the reason many athletes competed in the U.S. In other countries, the athletes were not able to 162 Foreign achletes ON THE SIXTH floor of Cravens Graduate Center, Barker discusses class assignments with his wife, Teresa. Barker was a four-year member of the cross country team which won the Sun Belt Conference for the fifth straight year. compete in their particular sport while getting a good education at the same time. Because of the better conditions, “most athletes end up in America,” Barker said. The fact that the athletes went to college in the United States didn’t mean they would stay in America after graduation. Barker, a history major, planned on spending a few years in the U.S. after his gradu- ation, but he and his American wife, Teresa, hoped to reside in South Africa.

The team struggled early in the year, losing four of its first five matches. Through the consistent play of Billy Jeff Burton, a Bowling Green junior who comprised the winningest record on the team of 19-14, Western rallied fora dual meet record of 10-16. Going into the Sun Belt Tournament, True felt confident that Western’s doubles teams would be an advantage he could count on. “Doubles had been our strength all year,” didn’t do as well as I had hoped.” The Hilltoppers’ No. senior, and Roland Lutz, a Henderson freshman, placed eighth in the True said. “We just 1 team of Scott Underwood, a Glasgow tournament while the No. 2 team of Matt Fones, a Franklin junior, and Jonathon Yeagle, an Owensboro sophomore, placed fourth. The No. 3 team of Burton and Matt Peterson, a Battle Creek, Mich., senior, finished sixth. “We had a bad first day,” True said. “And it cost us.” The highlight of the season was the performance of Underwood in the tournament. Playing in the No. 1 singles position, Underwood upset two seeded players with dramatic come-from-behind victories to advance to the finals. It took Sun Belt Player-of-the-Year Bennie Walters of South Alabama to defeat Underwood, 6-3, 1-6, 6-0. Kurt Freyberger, a Jasper, Ind., freshman, was also a pleasant surprise by finishing fourth at the No. 6 position. It took eventual champion Jamie Gonzales of the University of Alabama Birmingham to defeat Freyberger, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1. Freyberger said that overall the tournament went “pretty well the way we thought it would.” “Losing seniors Matt Peterson and Scott Underwood will be a serious loss to us next year,” True said. As for Western’s women’s tennis, “If it can go wrong, it will!” coach Ray Rose said about his team early this season. It was a coach’s nightmare in the fall for Rose when his No. 2 singles player decided to work only on academics, when talented recruit Terri Stanfield, an E- lizabethtown freshman, broke her foot, and when others became sick. Rose was forced to shorten the schedule and start from scratch. Through perseverance, the team was able to salvage a 4-5 record in the fall by defeating a tough Austin Peay team which went on to win the Ohio Valley Conference. Western faced a tougher schedule in the spring as they fought their way toa 7-5 record, defeating a strong Louisville team early on. In the Sun Belt Tournament, the Western women’s téam finished sixth. “We just didn’t get enough last points,” Rose said. “The girls played hard and were competitive. When it came down to the big points though, they just didn’t go our way.” The play of Lee Anne Murray, a Bowling Green junior, and Stanfield as Western's No. 2 doubles team was a highlight of the tournament as they finished third. Stanfield went on to finish fourth in the No. 4 singles position. Murray said that overall she felt the season “went well except for that we played a lot of stiff competition. We may not win as much as we did my freshman year, but we've gotten better.” Rose said that the only graduating senior was Denise Schmidt of Jasper, Ind. With the experience gained by five juniors on the women’s team and four on the men’s, both Rose and True were optimistic that next year could be something special for the tennis teams at Western.

In the spring the golf team teed off their season at the Cape Coral Intercollegiate in Florida where they finished eighth in a field of 20. “We went down there and played as well as we could play for being that early in the season,” Billy Blumenherst, a New Haven, Ind., junior, said. “Then a couple of days later we went to South Carolina.” There the golfers competed in the Gamecock Invitational in Columbia. The team’s results were not as good as the Florida stint as they finished 10th out of 12th. These two tournaments were more or less a warm-up for what was in store. “They were just to tune us up, trying to get us active for tour- nament competition. We really weren't expecting too much being the first two tournaments since the fall season,” Blumenherst said. The next week the Linksmen came back to take first of 20 at the Colonel Classic in Richmond. “It was just night and day with the first couple of weeks. We didn’t play very well and at that tournament everything came together in the final round,” Blumenherst said. As for the rest of the season “We really never played as well as we ought to have played. If we all had played as well as we could have, we could have won the tournament. We all just never really shot our potential but we would always end up playing second or third,” Blumenherst said. The Linksmen had a lull between their fall and spring seasons, during which they tried to prepare themselves for tournament play. Eddie Carmichael, a Knoxville, Tenn., sophomore, said the team prepared in the off season by “running. We worked with a psychiatrist some on meditation and how to relax ina pressure situation.” Last fall, at a tournament in Memphis, the team came in second and Carmichael finished second in a sudden death competition. “They beat us on the second hole,” Carmichael said. The fall season helped the team prepare for the spring. “We had a pretty good fall. It kind of gave us something to look forward to,” Carmichael said. As for the Lady Topper golf squad, they got off to a swinging start at the Southern Illinois North-South Classic in Ocala, Fla., where they placed fourth out of six. Lea Alvey, a Franklin junior, had a strong second-place finish and kept the team from slipping any further.

They had three players who finished in the top 10. “This year has been a good season,” Coach Nancy Quarcelino said. “The season’s average was 11-12 shots lower than the previous years.” Quarcelino attributed the team’s improvement to the strength of the players. “We had a little bit more depth this year, by going to our junior players.” The latest ranking of the Lady Topper golf team had them 43rd in the nation. This was also an accomplishment for the team considering that the Lady Toppers competed in the Southern Region, one of the most competitive regions. Despite the ranking, hopes of reaching the nationals were slim. “The top 18-20 teams go to the nationals,” Quarcelino said. “It’s a long shot for us, but I feel pretty certain that one of these days Western’s women’s team will go.” The Lady Topper season consisted of only four tournaments. “Tournaments require an awful lot of time,” Quarcelino said. “You have to pick and choose as to what tournaments to attend.” She added that the university had an allotted number of hours that the players could miss. Sometimes, in three-day tournaments, the girls would be on the fairways for nine hours. “You don’t want to exhaust your players,” she said. To prepare for the season, the girls worked out on Nautilus equipment during the cold months. The coach required the girls to spend at least two days of the week practicing on the greens. “Some- times they would be out there in their tobaggans, winter gloves and thermal underwear just hitting the ball around,” Quarcelino said. “You have to be dedicated to play golf and their hard work shows their dedication.” Quarcelino, who had coached the women’s team for seven years, recruited her own players. She said that she liked to keep the team around 10 players. “With a big team (15 or more players) the players don’t get the same treatment and I like to be fair.” Quarcelino, who retired as coach at the end of the spring season, said that the team had done well last year and she felt that they would even be stronger in the next. “T was proud to see the team do so well,” she said.

Golf A SPLASH OF EXCELLENCE the Western Kentucky University swim team, the season ended rather differently than in the past seasons. For the first time in seven years, the team did not capture the team title at the NCAA Mid-West Championship. Before heading to Chicago, the swimming Tops ended the regular season with a 6-2 record in dual meets. The Tops’ only two losses in dual meets came on the same day when they traveled to Peoria, Ill., to compete in a double-dual meet against Bradley University and South- west Missouri State University. In both cases, the Tops lost by large margins to their opponents. “When you've won all the time, you get used to it,” Bill Powell, Hilltopper swim coach, said. “You can take for granted that you're going to win, and when you do, you can get the best.” Against archrival Eastern, the Toppers had their work cut out for them. Eastern began the assault by winning the first two events of the meet which the Toppers answered by winning the next two events. As the meet progressed, each team took turns winning events as Coach Powell speculated as to how Western could win the meet with only a few events to go. “I figured we'd finished 2-3 in 3-meter diving and third in the 200-yard breaststroke,” Powell said. “I also knew that if we could get at least first and third in the 500-yard freestyle and win the free relay, we could win the meet.” Powell’s predictions in the 500-yard freestyle were right on the mark and the 400-yard freestyle relay consisting of Bill Linder, a Columbus, Ind., freshman; Phil Kisinger, a Kalamazoo, Mich., senior; Mike Neal, a Louisville senior, and Jay McAtee, an Indi- anapolis senior, beat Eastern’s relay team by almost four seconds to win the event and the meet for the Hilltoppers by one point. As Hopkinsville junior Jerry Smith put it, “Our win at Eastern was good and was probably the best part of the regular season.” Although the final score of the WKU vs. University of Louisville meet might not reflect it, the meet was much closer than was to be expected. Up until the 200-yard individual medley, Western had only won two of the first five events. Then a change occurred. In the 200-yard butterfly, freshman Luis Santiago of Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Neal finished one-two in the event and the momentum of the swimming Toppers could not be stopped as Western went on to win the dual meet, 69-44. Bowling Green junior Dan Powell turned in a relay split of 46.93 seconds in his leg of the 400-yard relay. For Powell, it was his fastest time for 100 yards so far during the year. As the regular season came to a close and the NCAA Mid-West Championship approached, Coach Powell speculated about his team’s chances since they were defending champs. “During the season,” Powell said looking back, “I realized that we lacked depth in a few areas which might give us trouble in Chicago, but I kept those thoughts in the back of my mind and tried not to let them surface.” On March 6, the Toppers traveled to Chicago, Ill., to compete in the Mid-West Swimming Championship. Coming into the meet, the Tops were defending champions and felt an amount of pressure because of it. 168 Swimming aia PURGE NE EN ee Pe —James Borchuck WHILE WAITING to compete in the 200-meter breaststroke, Mike Sims, a junior from Nashville, Tenn., stretches the muscles in his body. His best time for the season was 2:16. “Being defending champs is going to put pressure on you,” Coach Powell said. “It’s easier to try to get to the top than it is to be at the top and stay there.” “We felt pressure this time because we weren't favored as much coming into the meet this year as we knew every point would matter,” Smith said. “We also felt pressure,” Smith said, “because we didn’t want to be the first team to lose the Mid-West for Western.” After the first day of competition, the Toppers were in third place where they stayed until the third and final day of competition. “We've been behind before,” Jim Rogers, a Hopkinsville junior, said. “But not like that. We just tried to rally together, do cheers and get the team motivated.” Going into the last event of the three-day meet, Western was still in third place behind both Western Illinois University, who would go on to win the Mid-West Championship, and Southwest Missouri, who had badly beaten Western during the regular season. The 400-meter freestyle relay team of Mike Neal, Jeff Whalen, a Madison, Wis., Dan Powell and Jay McAtee turned in a winning time of 3:05.14, which was good enough to pull WKU ahead of Southwest Missouri for second place. “Going into the last relay,” Coach Powell said, “we were 5 points behind Southwest Missouri; and I knew that if we could win the relay, we could pull ahead of them into second place.” “Even though we didn’t win the team title,” Powell said, “it takes a little sting out of losing by beating Southwest Missouri after they had beaten us so badly during the regular season.” Strong performances were also turned in by team members Sean Herbert and Dan Powell. Herbert, an Auburn, N.Y. sophomore, won both the 100-yard backstroke in 52.44 seconds and the 200-yard backstroke in 1:55.35 seconds. Powell was a member of the victorious 400-meter free relay team, the second-place 400-medley relay team and the second-place 800-meter free relay team. In addition, Powell won the 50-yard freestyle in 20.76 seconds and also captured first in the 100-yard freestyle in 45.62 seconds. Powell went on to be named Mid-West swimmer of the year and was given the MVP award of the swim team back at Western. After Mid-West, Powell went to the Indiana Invitational in Indi- anapolis and qualified in the 50 free for the NCAA finals held there on April 3. , Coach Powell said, “You've got to want to win the championship all year long and be willing to sacrifice for it all year long, not just on the day of the Mid-West. “If we get the right kids together,” Coach Powell said, con sidering next year’s team, “we can go back there and win it all. ) AM Todd Cheever —James Borchuck A TOPPER TEAMMATE is cheered on by Sims, Matt Rydson, an Elkhart, Ind., junior and Carol Johnson, a Cave City freshman.

West- ern has had male yell leaders since 1969. STAND UP PANG} the seconds counted off the clock, Western’s fans cheered their Toppers to victory under the direction of the female and male cheerleaders. Wait a minute. ..male cheerleaders? Yes, since 1969, Western had been led in chants and cheers by not only women, but men cheerleaders. Although tradition dictated that cheerleaders typically be women, more schools were moving towards cheerleaders of both genders, and Western was right with them. Scott Taylor, adviser of the Lad y Toppers cheering squad, said that even though male cheerleading was an old tradition, there was an era “when it wasn’t cool to be a (male) cheerleader,” but he felt that times had changed. And so did James Supulski, a Fort Knox sophomore and captain for the Lady Topper Squad. Supulski was an alternate on the Topper, or varisty squad, during football season, but then tried out for the Lady Topper squad and became captain. Supulski said, “It looked like a lot of fun,” so he tried out. Supulski said he was never criticized for being a cheerleader, in fact, he said it was “just the opposite...When I tell people, guys are hesitant, but then they think it’s pretty neat.” Bennie Beach, adviser to the Topper Squad, which cheered at the football games a men’s basketball games, said he thought there still may be a stigma attached to male cheerleaders, but that the “stigma is starting to fade away.” “T think we'll see more guys in high cheerleading,” Beach said. Jennifer Williamson, a Paducah senior oe co-captain for the varsity squad, said it was “not as much pressure” on the women having male cheerleaders because the guys helped with stunts and acrobatics, even though Western was no longer allowed to build pyramids. She said she also thought times were changing and that now it “appeals to the audience” to have men cheering. “With the bigger arena, we need their voices while we (the women) are dancing,” Williamson said. Beach said that having male cheerleaders “increases their visibility” and made things such as partner stunts, “more exciting.” Beach said that most of the men who tried out “have never had the experience of being a cheerleader,” and that held true for most of Western’s male cheerleaders. But Beach said that the men who tried out were usually involved in gymastics or athletics. “The athletic IN THE LIVING ROOM of the apartment he shares with Doug Martens, a Prospect junior, Thornton does homework while his roommate talks on the phone.

Supulski said he was a gymnast and that he played football in high school for four years. He said the flexibility, strength and coordination he had learned helped his cheering ability. Richard Hann, a Louisville freshman, originally tried out for the Lady Topper squad, but when the alternate for the Topper Squad quit, he replaced him. “I cheer most of the games because people get sick or have a class.” Hann said he worried about ridicule since he became a cheerleader, but said that people respected him and “that’s pretty neat.” Lady Topper cheerleader Scott Starkey, a Shepherdsville junior, said he enjoyed helping the fans get excited. “If it's a close game and we get the crowd fired up, then I feel like we've helped the team.” Hann said the things he enjoyed the most about cheering was traveling to different schools for games. He said he also liked being on the court and “getting into the games.” Taylor said he felt there was a big difference between now and four years ago, but that the male cheerleading sensation had “really advanced in the last five years.” He attributed this increased interest to past male cheerleaders who have encouraged men to try out. Hann said he tried out because he knew men on the squad. And Supulski agreed, saying he was encouraged by David Whitesides, a varsity cheerleader. Starkey tried out after meeting Murphy Brock, a Lady Topper cheerleader. “He gave me a ride home (to Louisville) and we became good friends,” he said. Starkey said Brock and Taylor encouraged him to try out. “I didn’t think I'd be any good, but I got the second-highest score.” Tim Thornton, a Providence senior, never cheered in high school but decided he would try out for the squad in the spring of ‘83. Thornton cheered for the men’s basketball and football games. “IT was on Western’s wrestling club. I saw people tumbling (when he was in the gym for practice) and always wanted to get into that,” Thornton said. Thornton said he had not encountered any problems being a male cheerleader. “A lot of people admire you. They say, ‘It must be great by Rebecca Barnhart photos by Tim Brokema to lift girls up all the me.” Al Cheerleaders ee eee DASEBATTtia - - ——— AnYhAINng the season opened, things did not look good for the Toppers’ baseball team. They lost their first game, won the second and lost the third in the first series of the season against Alabama. But that was just a small foreshadowing of what was to come for Western. The Toppers experienced the type of seesaw season that had more downs than ups. In the first series away, the Toppers were drowned by the Crimson Tide. Despite a valiant effort, they lost, 5-22. But vengeance was the Toppers’ in the second game. They turned the Tide, 13-12. During the third game, Alabama scored first in the bottom of the third inning. But the Toppers tied the score the next time they were at bat. In the top of the fifth, Western then went on to lead, 4-1, when Jim Schurr, an Arlington Heights, Ill., freshman, hit a double. But Alabama returned the favor with two runs. John Bair, a Kenosha, Wis., freshman, added to the effort by pitching three consecutive no-hit innings. Despite all of the Toppers’ toil, they lost, 5-8. Despite the two losses, Western coach Joel Murrie was happy with the series. “I hate to dwell on the negative because we did a lot of good things,” Murrie said. “But we lost eight of our nine starters because of graduation. We have a new team and it will take time for the players to get used to the coaches and for the coaches to get used to the style of the players. It will take time but we are adjusting just fine.” The Toppers then went to Lebanon, Tenn., to lose their first game to Cumberland College, 2-3. But they returned in the second of the doubleheader to win, 4-3. The winning streak continued when the Toppers came home to beat Middle Tennessee, 2-1, and Lincoln College, 12-8. During the Lincoln College game, the weather was a major factor. It was cold enough for the players and the fans to see their breath. Because of the cold, team members made 11 blunders. But the Toppers prevailed against all odds to smash 15 hits. Bair had five strikeouts and by the sixth inning, he was coasting in with an 8-3 lead. —Kathy Forrester lout “out” WESTERN’S BUDDY TURNER, a Knoxville, Tenn., junior, gets caught in a run-down between second and third base.

THIRD BASEMAN Rafael Campos, a sophomore from Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, collides with shortstop Randy Strijek, a junior from Schenectady, N.J. Western was playing Morehead in the second game of a double header. The Blue Tigers’ Mike Stienmetz smashed a grandslam over the left field fence. Tim Mueller came behind Stienmetz with a single. However, in the top of the seventh, Mike Strijek, a Schenectady, N.Y., junior, hit a single, providing Buddy Turner, a Knoxville, Tenn., junior, the opportunity to score from third. The Toppers then went on to win, 12-8. Western went on to triumph over David Lipscomb 12-5 before going into a doubleheader with the Blue Tigers of Lincoln. The Toppers tamed the Blue Tigers with an impressive 14-1 win. Just to prove that it was not a fluke, the Toppers taught the Blue Tigers submission the hard way witha crushing 14-0 win. “This team has done the best job,” Murrie said. “Especially after such a poor start. We lost a lot of our road games at the begining of the season. But the team didn’t give up on themselves and I respect them for that.” But from that point on, the Toppers fell into a four-game slump being defeated by Georgia Tech and losing a whole series to Jack- sonville, 6-10, 11-12 and 3-11. The slump was broken momentarily with a win over Southwest: Missouri, 15-0. But the win was not enough to give the Toppers the momentum they needed to maintain a winning record. Their losing slump was worse than ever with seven consecutive losses with one to Southwest Missouri, a three-game series to South Florida and another continued on page 174 L e ii} | Baseball ] | - James Borchuc 173 Baseball 174 “Out” cont. series to South Alabama. The trend was halted when Western tied David Lipscomb, 3-3. The Toppers then began an uphill battle by winning against Bellarmine, 6-4, and Middle Tennessee, 8-7. But the rejoicing in the camp ended when Western lost a whole series to University of Alabama-Birmingham, 2-5, 4-7 and 4-8. After losing to UAB, Murrie was not happy but he did not try to justify the loss of the series. Vanderbilt did nothing to relieve Western from the developing trend. They beat Western, 6-3, ina game that lasted 10 innings. The Toppers gained a little dignity when they defeated Middle Tennessee with a hard-earned 3-2 victory. Yet their glory days were numbered. Western lost a second set of series to South Florida, 3-6, 1-5 and 10-11. The Bulls trampled the Toppers’ pride while dropping the Toppers’ Sun Belt Western Division record to 0-12 and overall average 11-12-1. “I’m not one to make excuses,” Murrie said. “Because in this game, you just don’t make excuses. But South Florida is ranked seventh in the nation. They are really good. You don’t make seventh by not beating anyone. And we are not the only team they beat. I don’t feel bad about losing to South Florida. We did put forth an effort to win and all you can do is try.” The Toppers went on to find a little solace in their crushing 14-5 victory over Bellarmine. But Tennessee quickly reminded them of the agony of defeat the next day with a 5-2 win over Western. The series against Southern Alabama provided the Tops with a little southern comfort. The Tops swept the series with three wins over the Jaguars. The three wins, 8-4, 10-6 and 10-9, improved the Tops’ 0-12 Baseball —Greg Lovett AT HOME PLATE, David Lipscomb's Cameron Brown blows a bubble while trying to avoid a tag by Western's Scott Hibbert, a Springfield, Ill., junior. Brown was out in the top of the seventh inning. They lost two days later to Austin Peay, 5-6. Although Murrie was not pleased with the Austin Peay loss, he said he was satisfied that the team did put forth an effort. Keeping with the seesawing tradition, Western won against Cum- berland, 11-8, lost to Louisville, 1-4, won against UAB in the first doubleheader, 3-2, but lost the second, 3-6. They finally broke the win-lose pattern by winning a doubleheader against Franklin College by way of forfeit. The Tops’ luck continued against Tennessee Tech, 3-2, and Austin Peay, 7-2. However, good fortune came to a deadly screech when the Tops played Vandy’s Commodors. They lost, 8-13. The up-down syndrome began again when Western played Evan- sville in a double header. After striving to win the first match, 8-6, they lost the second, 1-3. The following day, they lost to Tennessee Tech. But who said lighting doesn’t strike the same place twice? Western came home to Denes Field and swept the series against Morehead State, 8-4, 11-2 and 7-6. ; “I attribute the sweep to the fact that they did not give up on themselves,” Murrie said. “This is a team with character. Another team with that character would have given up a long time ago.” Western ended the regular season in series play against Columbus. They won they first game, 10-2, lost the second, 2-4, and won the last game of the season, 7-3. The Toppers ended the regular season with a 27-29-1 record. According to Murrie, the final wins of the season helped the team. “The momentum we picked up during those wins really helped to carry us through into tournament play. It gave us the progress we needed to help build our confidence.” by Marcia Robertson S. FRONT ROW: Buddy Turner, Mike Cullen, Scott Hibbert, Stan Clark, Wayne Orscheln, Kevin Pearce, David Lunsford.

What was once an old music building for Western students is now Diddle Hall, the home court for the Hilltopper basketball team. “Coach Diddle bought the house many years ago and turned it into a basketball house,” Ted Hornback, an assistant coach under Diddle, said. “He let his basketball players stay there with him.” As the name suggested, the house was a dorm, and being such, was subject to all university rules and regulations. “Anything different from a dorm is considered special treatment,” Alan King, a Mad- isonville sophomore and two-year resident of Diddle Hall, said. “That's why the university regulates the haves and have-nots.” The dorm contained 14 carpeted bedrooms that were designed to accommodate one or two people. Room assignments were made by Assistant Coach Don Evans who resided at the hall. Single rooms were given to those who had lived there the longest, usually the upper- classmen. The freshmen and sophomore players were given room- mates. The university supplied beds, dressers, and desks for each room as it did for any other dorm room on campus. Diddle Hall also had a TV room complete with a color television and cable. However, movie channels were not allowed. The players would watch home games on the cable while commenting on the individual efforts. There was no kitchen, but a microwave oven was available for use. The basketball players also had to follow campus open house instructions. Kannard Johnson, a Cincinnati, Ohio, junior, said that there were certain times girls were allowed and certain times they ‘“‘We have to follow the same rules as any other student on this campus.’”’ —Kannard Johnson 176 Diddle dorm weren't. “We have to follow the same rules as any other student on this campus,” he said. During the season there were curfew hours that limited visitation hours even more. Visitors had to be checked in with coach Evans who acted as dorm director and periodically checked in on the players. The basketball players at Diddle Hall were also subject to fire drills at 5:30 in the morning. “They (students) think we run a place where all we do is party all night long but that’s just not true,” Billy Gordon, a Jackson, Miss., senior, said. “You don’t have people standing over you, but you are watched.” Most of the players agreed that privacy and convenience were what made Diddle Hall the best dorm on campus to live in. It was centrally located on campus, surrounded by the library, Garrett Conference Center, Cherry Hall, and the Science and Technology building. Its location away from the other students offered the peace and quiet that was hard to find in the regular dorm setting. “We love the privacy,” Ray Swogger, a Buffalo, N.Y., junior, said. “People just can’t come in here either. To get in this dorm, you have to have a key to the outside doors and that gives us even more privacy.” The dorm was also a quiet place tor the team to rest after a game or a long day of practice. Quiet hours were not enforced but the players knew when to rest or when to play. Sometimes the stereos were played a little loud. “If you don’t have a legit system then you might as well leave or play your walkman,” Gordon said jokingly. continued on page 179 PLEASE DO NOT PROP DOOR OPEN a 246 pO REN EE sep gere (536 8 ee) attee ee ate Seeaa ew) ape = es encmaem econ ares minK J os Sg a RG vie?

The majority of the classes were at the top of the hill, so not a lot of time was spent walking to them. “When you live here, you don’t have to rush around in the morning so that you have 15 minutes to walk to class. Just go out the back door and you're there,” King, one of the team managers, said. “Also, the library is just minutes away for any last-minute studying.” Sometimes, being positioned at the top of the hill wasn’t so convenient. Kurk Lee, a Baltimore, Md., freshman, felt that Diddle Dorm would be perfect if Garrett’s cafeteria would serve the players whose meals were paid for through athletic scholarships. “As it is now, we have to go down the hill to the student center to eat.” Even so, the university center was only minutes away. Having a dorm just for the basketball players had other advantages as well. The players were reminded of practices, film sessions, and meetings by memos posted on the door. Diddle Hall was also an excellent recruiting tool, Tellis Frank, a Gary, Ind., junior, said. “It’s a good thing to show prospective players when showing them Western,” he said. Living in the basketball dorm helped the players deal with each other. “It helps a lot to do things as a team,” Johnson said. “When we live together we see each other every day and when you get tired of seeing one another you can just leave.” By Steve Ferry Photos by Robert Pope she) Diddle dorm ABOUT TO BE TACKLED by the Chi Omegas, Lysa Deese, a Hopkinsville junior, keeps running.

The officials were trying fran- tically to control those crucial few minutes. Much preparation and practice had gone into the entire tournament and it all was dwindling down to the last few seconds. It might as well have been the NCAA finals, at least to the Malibu Beach and the 25 Footers, the 1986 men’s intramural basketball finalists. “We really wanted it. The Malibu Beach team has been here for a long time, and it’s mostly students from Edmondson County. There's a lot of pressure from back home for us to win,” Malibu Beach coach Barry Vincent, a Brownsville sophomore, said. Over 4,000 students, including independents, fraternity and sorority members, participated in intramural sports each year. Intra- murals offered categories of sports for men, women, coeds and faculty staff. : Intramurals included 27 sports for men and 21 for women ranging from the ever-popular flag football, volleyball, basketball and softball to frisbee, horseshoes, golf and billiards. The objectives were to provide opportunity for individual develop- ment, social contact, friendship, leadership, group activity and sports participation to create “positive attitudes toward recreational activity throughout life,” Gladis Jacobs, the intramural department secretary, said. “I think this is an excellent program for young people. It gives them a chance to participate in sports when not ona varsity team.” Flag football was one of the biggest intramural sports offered at Western. The winners of the mens and womens division went to New Orleans for the national championship. For the women, West Hall had an exciting win over East Hall to become the campus champions. They went to the University of New Orleans the week of Dec. 27-Jan. 1, where they downed Mississippi State, but lost to East Carolina University. Kenya Wingfield, a Brownsville sophomore and member of the West Hall team, said that the New Orleans trip and tournament was “great. It’s an experience that everyone should have.” She said that she thought they could have won in New Orleans, too. “But we really didn’t lose it. They really gipped us out of it. There was no time on the clock when they scored their final touchdown.” For the men, the championship games between the Sigma Nus and the Renegades was a real nail biter down to the last second. Both teams wanted desperately to take the trip to New Orleans and the Renegades were victorious. At the National Collegiate Flag Football Tour- nament, the Renegades made an impressive showing, defeating Towson State from Maryland and North Carolina State before being defeated by Creighton University. Softball was also a favorite sport in the spring. For the men, the championship game was between Malibu Beach and Geeks. Malibu Beach defeated two-time champion Cold Beer in the quarterfinals, then defeated KA Crimson to make it to the finals. The Geeks defeated Sigma Chi in the first round, then downed Old East Hall to make it to the finals. The Geeks defeated Malibu Beach, 9-4, for the title. This was a title that coach Bob Biega, a Danville senior, and his troops had waited for five years to win. For the school year, points were added up for the fraternities and sororities which were awarded depending on who placed in each event. The winner of the All-Sports Trophy for the men was Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Alpha Delta Pi sorority was the overall winner for the women. As for the competition this year, “The competition for this year's individual and team trophies was fierce and highly competitive,” Jim Pickens, director of campus recreation, said. “Next year we look for bigger and better things for all those people who strive for excellence in our program.” The sports clubs were also an important part of Western’s athletic program. The sports clubs were to give students the opportunity to participate on a more advanced, extramural level. These clubs in- cluded judo, karate, fencing, rugby, scuba, water polo, snow skiing, soccer and many others. The fencing club was one such sports club and was designed to promote the sport of fencing. The only requirement to be in the fencing club was an interest in the sport, Katie Smith, a Bowling Green freshman, and member of the club, said. The fencing club enjoyed an increase in membership as the group “rebuilt a defunct club,” sporting amembership of 11 people. The water polo sports club also had no requirements for mem- bership and met early in the school year to ready themselves for the upcoming season. continued on page 182 181 Intramurals 182 Incrame All cont. continued from page 181 The water polo club “set up meets between teams around the state,” Jay McAtee, an Indianapolis senior and club member, said. The club had enough members to create two teams, enough to compete with other schools with water polo teams, McAtee said. Team members participate in water polo for fun. McAtee said that the atmosphere was relaxed because no real awards for winning were given. The water polo team remained “undefeated after playing some of the top polo teams,” McAtee said. Traveling was necessary for Western’s ski club, Adam Bolinger, a Shelbyville senior, said. Members only had to have an interest in snow skiing to join. The club members tried to plan local trips where members could go just for the weekend during the winter months of school to places such as Paoli Peaks in Indiana, Bolinger said. The big travel event for the skiing club was a trip to Colorado, Bolinger said. The trip was planned through an agency and cost members about $400 each. The trip was scheduled for eight or nine days after Christmas, Bolinger said. The time off after school was out for break gave members a chance for a longer trip. Another club on campus sought to “teach the martial art of Kenpo Karate in its traditional form,” Mike Shacklette, a Louisville senior and club member, said. The requirement for membership in the club was to be “a student, irals THE FLAG SLIPS AWAY from Tom Kandul, a Newburgh, Ind., senior and member of the Bud Brigades. He was reaching for the flag of Jamie Raybon, a Nashville, Tenn., freshman and member of the Renegades. faculty or staff member with a good attitude,” Shacklette said. Each year the members of the Kenpo Karate Brotherhood Club competed in the state-wide and regional karate tour. Western hosted a regional meeting of the other brotherhoods in the organization, Shacklette said. The Kenpo Karate Club was different from the others on campus in that “we study Kenpo Karate in its traditional form which teaches self discipline, self confidence and self defense,” Shacklette said. The club had been active on Western’s campus for six years and has had a membership of over 300 students over those six years. Rugby was probably the major sports club at Western and had entered its 10th year on campus. The biggest annual event for the club was the Banshee Classic, held every spring. Eight teams participated in the event last spring from several states including Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky. Team members had to have “a desire to play and practice on a regular basis,” John Carr, faculty sponsor for the group, said. People who desired to be on the Western’s official rugby team made the rugby football club their first stop. Prospective members had to play and practice with the club in order to make the team, Carr said. “We're one level below varsity,” he said. As for the future, the club members made “being competitive and improving their record” their major goal, Carr said.

Bec dee a atate Tei =. ¥ eid ates ios HRC ae RIUININIIN G TO GAIN AMERORECENG and a gain in experience were the main accomplishments of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams. Everyone on the teams improved in at least one of his or her events, | and some, Coach Curtiss Long said, improved in all of their events. Several contributing factors helped the teams to their successes. One was the five football players who joined the team: Nashville, Tenn., sophomore Keith Paskett; Clermont, Fla., freshman Cedric Jones; Fort Pierce, Fla., freshman Kelvin Nedd; New Albany, Ind., | junior Billy Hearn, and Bowling Green freshman Tony Barber. “They (the football players) gave the team sprint strength that it hasn't had in years,” Long said. Someone else who aided the team was newcomer Victor Ngubeni, a freshman from Newcastle, South Africa. This 16-year-old not only beat the school record for the men’s 1000-yard run with the time of 2:07.17, but his time was the fastest time ever run in Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee. Other record breakers included, on the women’s team, Meliosa McIntyre, a Charlestown, Ireland, freshman, with her school record of 2:38.80 for the women’s 1000-yard run, and Beth Millay, a Guston sophomore, who ran the 10,000-meter run in 38:03.7 at the Ken- tucky Relays in Lexington, also breaking a school record. “I was really pleased with it,” Millay said. “I was hoping to do better.” Millay added that it was extremely hot at the meet and she even had blisters on her feet. Long’s coaching strategy seemed to help his teams, too. His idea was to build up runners on the shorter events, and to motivate and prepare them both physically and mentally for the longer events; since Western was a more distance-oriented team. Long also worked more with relays, which improved the “co- hesiveness” of the team, he said. Brett Kennard, a London, England, freshman; Winchester senior Cam Hubbard, Bowling Gréen junior Philip Ryan, and Ngubeni placed fourth in the 4x1600-meter relays with the time of 16:41.68 at the Drake Relays, in Des Moines, Iowa. The Drake Relays was one of the most prestigious races in the country and in this event Western was beaten by big teams like Indiana, Nebraska and Arizona. Along with the good, though, came some of the bad. Ryan was injured early in the indoor track season and had to red shirt it. South African senior Jon Barker had a good year but just barely missed qualifying for NCAA competition. But the biggest problem for the season as a whole seemed to be dealing with sickness around the beginning of the outdoor track season. Long said the illnesses hurt the athletes. “It really threw the men’s team for a loop,” Long said. “A quality athlete might be able to perform well at 70 percent in other sports, but a runner has to be at 100 percent.” By Fred White Photos by Andy Lyons FORMER WESTERN RUNNER Ashley Johnson from South Africa leads Jon Barker, a South Africa senior, in the Western Kentucky University In- vitational at Kereiakes Park.

Two of these were training seriously for the Olympics. Jon Thompson, a Somerset senior and one of those training seri- ously for the gold, said of the 11 bikers, “Every one of them is strong. I want to go to the Olympics and when we’re going out on a ride I feel I should be able to break away...but I can’t always break away from the field. All of the 11 really do have the ability to be extraordinarily competitive on a national basis.” Thompson, a road racer, said he had been involved with bikes all his life, but did not begin competitive cycling until a year ago. “I introduced myself into competitive cycling. I went into a bicycle shop in Burnside and I bought a touring bike and just rode the heck out of it,” Thompson said. But Thompson, along with the others, graduated to the equipment DURING BAD WEATHER, Doug Hawkins, a junior from Louisville, works to improve his balance by training on a bike treadmill in the eighth-floor hallway of Poland Hall. He wanted to eventually apply his sprinting ability to velodrome racing. of the serious biker. Thompson received a Guerciotti from his father. “This is a state-of-the-art bike. This is the kind of bike you’ll see in the Tour de France and winning Gold Medals in the Olympics.” Aerodynamics was a key factor in a biker's equipment. The bikers’ clothing was designed to fit tightly to reduce wind drag and to protect them by “sliding” between the bikers and the pavement in an accident. Helmets with cushion inserts fit snugly on the bikers’ heads for protection. And as for the biking shoes, t hey had to be stiff. However, Thompson wasn’t alone in his dream of the Olympics or his avocation of cycling. Doug Hawkins, a Louisville junior, was also interested in going for the gold and others like Neil Brockman, a Casey Creek junior, and Matt Pehrson, a Newburgh, Ind., sophomore, were into cycling for fun. Hawkins was more of a sprinter. “Actually Hawkins and I will probably never be in the same kind of race. I’m more of a road racer. Hawkins is a very natural sprinter,” Thompson said of Hawkins’s ability. “But what Jon doesn’t tell you is that I can keep up with him on any place but the hills. He can climb hills like a billy goat,” Hawkins said. continued on page 188 187 Olympians SPOKES cont. continued from page 187 Hawkins said that he hoped to apply his sprinting ability to the velodrome racing seen most often in Olympic television coverage. In velodrome competition, bikers raced their streamlined bikes weighing only 15 pounds on a steep enbankment. “I’m really itching to get ona track and see what it’s all about,” Hawkins said. To reach the Olympics, bikers had to compete in rounds of Olympic-sanctioned races and work their way up through the ranks before making the Olympic trials. “I have never been in a time trial or a race that during which I didn’t say, ‘God, Jon, get off your bike and throw it away. What are you doing here? This hurts and this is stupid.” Thompson averaged about 200 miles per week since January. His routes encompassed Bowling Green and Western’s campus, including the track. But Thompson felt that no program for diet or training could substitute for practice. “If you have other programs, do them in moderation because the more time you spend doing that the less time you spend on your bike. There’s no substitute for riding your bike,” Thompson said. As for race preparations, Thompson said, “The human body can from there it’s tactics.” only get so strong Thompson said that many of the tactics were psychological. “People are so mean...in their attitude toward you. Somebody asked me the other day, ‘Racing must be fun.”” Thompson said he answered with “Racing is hell...until you cross the finish line.” Thompson said that during one race, he had been yelled at by a competitor who was attempting to break Thompson’s concentration on his race. 188 Olympians Bikers used a tactic in team racing that involved sending out a “rabbit” to wear down the leader by forcing him to maintain a faster pace. The “rabbit” broke away from the field to force the leader to catch up before bringing him back. But others were into cycling for fun. Brockman, who had been riding on his own for two years at Eastern prior to coming to Western, had no intention of going to the Olympics. “When it (cycling) stops being fun, I'll quit riding.” Pehrson said that he was into cycling “basically for recreation and fitness. I don’t plan to go to the Olympics right now. I don’t know, I may change my mind.” Pehrson also said that being a part of the group of cyclists has helped him improve. “It’s helped in just my advancing. There’s someone there who’s always pushing mea little further.” One of the remaining seven bikers said that, though he did not ride WHILE RIDING, Neil Brockman, a junior from Casey Creek, and Hawkins, act as a wind barrier for Jon Thompson, a senior from Somerset. They wore special aerodynamic clothing to prevent wind drag. IN HIS POLAND HALL ROOM, Doug Hawkins, a junior from Louis- ville, relaxes on his bed and talks to his girlfriend on the phone. He enjoyed making and playing guitars, as well as serious biking. with other bikers much, he thought riding with a group helped. “There’s more of the strength that you have in a crowd. When you ride with other guys, you can feed off them,” Brian Talbot, a Louisville freshman, said. Talbot said that he thought about the Olympics and would like to go. “If I got strong enough I would love to go. It’s in the back of my mind usually when I’m riding, but I can’t take it seriously yet.” . As for being a part of a group, Hawkins said that the bikers would ride even though they would not always be together. “When all these people leave, when Jon and I, and Neil and Matt are not together this summer, we're still going to ride separate ways and come back together.” By Kim Saylor and Terri Pullen Photos by John Dunham 189 Olympians Oe Se a ORGANIZATIONS From rodeos to being a cord amount.

Western’s many organizations. Departments across campus offered clubs for seemingly every interest that gave students a chance to do a little more than just go to class and gave recognition to those who excelled in different areas. There were those like Delta Sigma Pi who mixed business with pleasure by carrying on the pursuit of professionalism in business careers while offer- ing its members a social side also. And there were times when all campus organizations united to work for a single cause.

Be . a se Dialing for dollars It was Nov. 5, 1985. The third night of Phonothon ’85 was almost history as the clock read 8:56. The green team had the highest pledge total for the night’s fundraising efforts. For nearly two hours, the blue and red teams had worked feverishly to catch up. Bart White, the administrative host for the evening, an- nounced to the callers that the next call would be the last for the night. Chery! Watkins, a Louisville senior, took a deep breath as she glanced at her last pledge card. Her prospect was a 1979 graduate who lived in Denver, Colo. His card also indicated that he had never made a private contribution to the university. Watkins looked up at the tally board and shook her head. If her blue team was going to win, she needed to receive at least a $75 pledge. “The chances are slim,” she said as she began to dial the number. “Hello, my name is Cheryl Watkins and Iam a student at Western Kentucky University. Tonight a group of students is calling Western alumni seeking private donations for the uni- versity. Since you graduated from Western, would you like to make a contribution?” Watkins started to nod her head in affir- mation of what the gentleman was saying. Then suddenly a huge grin formed on her face. “One hundred dollars?” she said. When the other members of the blue team heard this, they quickly tuned into Watkin’s conversation with anticipation. hundred dol- lars?...Great...Thank you so much for your “You did say one generous contribution,” Watkins said. Before the phone receiver reached the cradle, Watkins and about 15 others cried out, “A hundred dollars for the blue team!” The tension mounted as everyone waited for the final tally. Then Phonothon chairman Lee Murray, an Owensboro junior, said, “Okay, tonight it was real close. The red team came in VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, such as phoning alumni and recording donations, keep students busy. The Phonothon theme featured a circus. 192 Phonothon third with $996; the green team came in second with $1,117; and the big upset of the night, the blue team, who with a lot of hard work and determination, came from second to place first with a total of $1,225. Let’s hear it for the blue team!” Cheers, yells, hugs and handshakes were exchanged by everyone. It was also announced that the $3,338 pledge total for the night was the highest nightly total in the five-year history of Phonothon. This scenario was probably quite familiar for anyone participating ina Western Phonothon. Asa caller, tallier or stuffer raising money for the university, especially in record-breaking amounts, everyone involved derived a great sense of pride and accomplishment. Even though students worked on teams and the com- petition was keen, everyone knew they were working for the university. “Phonothon is a win win situation,” Murray said. “It gives the students a chance to help the university, and at the same time, a chance to help themselves by meeting other students.” “There are some students, especially fresh- men, who at times don’t feel they are a part of campus life. Phonothon gives them the oppor- tunity to get involved,” Murray said. Jill Brown, a Portland, Tenn., senior, has participated in Phonothon for three years. “The success of Phonothon greatly depends on the team atmosphere,” she said. Meeting new people was what was important to Watkins. “It’s a real friendly atmosphere. The next day on campus, you see people that you met at Phonothon the night before and when you speak to them, it’s like you’ve known each other for years,” Phonothon ’85 manpower chairman Kevin Grangier, a Sellersburg, Ind., senior, said his committee had several goals this year. There was one, however, that took priority. “We wanted the students to realize what an integral part they play in raising money for the university—the money that we all will directly or indirectly benefit from,” Grangier said. In keeping with the circus atmosphere, Dor- cas Jackson, a Whitesville freshman, dressed up like a clown for several nights of the Phono- thon. Jackson got involved when her roommate encouraged her to get out to meet people. “It’s fun; it really is. I get to meet so many people. Besides, in a clown suit I can act silly and get away with it,” Jackson said. Phonothon not only helped Western and the individuals who participated, but also the student organizations as well. This year about 70 organizations were involved. Louisville senior Tammy Waldridge, presi- dent of the National Collegiate Association for Secretaries, said, “Our club is a part of the university and it’s good to know we have been able to help Western. It’s an excellent way for us to be recognized as a student organization on campus.” Seventeen out of 22 NCAS members par- ticipated in this year’s Phonothon. Over the past five years, Phonothon has raised nearly $200,000. This total dis- tinguished the program as one of the best in the nation. Organizers planned 1985 to be a land- mark year and it was. The $35,000 pledge goal, the highest ever, was surpassed by near ly $15,000. More students participated during the three-week period in 1985, with over 1,000 students in attendence. Hilda Harville, a Selma, Ala., senior, said, “It feels good to have been a part of Phonothon this year. I’m really proud of our hard work.” This was her first year to work at Phonothon, but as she left with balloons in one hand and a Phonothon sweatshirt in the other, Harville said, “I'll be back next year.” James Borchuck INTENT ON her work, Cheryl Pyles, an Erlanger fresh- man, phones an alumnus.

Interhall Council, Associated Student Government, Spirit Masters, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council were often called “The Big Five.” Each with its own unique purpose strived to make life at Western more pleasant. Interhall Council served as a communication link between hall residents and WKU admin- istration, IHC president Dell Robertson, a Morganfield junior, said. “Our major accom- plishments of the year have been to make coed 194 Organizations ee = Interfraternity Council FRONT ROW: Eric Robinson, Todd Gipson.

Members of IHC, who must be residents of a dormitory, organized such events as Parent’s Weekend and a fundraiser, Vegas Night. “We hope to soon get laundries and cable TV in the dorms,” Robertson said. For a more diverse group, one had just to look to Associated Student Government. “We rep- resent the students and take it one step further,” Greg Elder, a Glasgow junior and admin- istrative vice president, said. “We take stu- dents’ wants and translate them into action and results,” he said. ASG looked at several bills as major accom- plishments. Having the English 101 pass fail moved, reducing the hours needed to live in Poland, and producing the Book Exchange program were all feathers in ASG’s cap, Elder said . One of the more elite groups of the big five was Spirit Masters, whose 24 members were chosen after a series of interviews. “We serve as student ambassadors,” Chairman Cindy Smith, a Bowling Green junior, said. “We're the only campus group to represent students at presiden- tial receptions and other such events,” Smith said. Spirit Masters hoped to help in President Kern Alexander’s recruitment program and to organize a workshop for other campus’ student ambassadors. “We also work closely with Phonothon in the fall and OAR in the spring,” Smith said. Representing Western's sororities, Pan- hellenic Council tried to continue the im- provement of its group as a unifying body for greek women, president Liz Bell, a Bowling Green junior, said. “We develop leadership in our members,” she said. “All of our members are sisters in their own sorority; we try to further that sense of sisterhood.” Interfraternity Council was the coordinating body for Greek men. President Ben Wathen, a Bardstown senior, felt IFC had the most active group on campus. “Our goals are to once again beat the all-men’s GPA average and the number of men pledging in the fall,” Wathen said. Panhellenic and IFC co-sponsored Greek Week, the Academic Banquet and a state-wide Greek Symposium. If students’ interests didn’t lie with the five major organizations, then numerous other groups were available. United Black Students sponsored lectures and other events during Black History month. “We are mainly to pro- sili, : —Lynn Roberts THE CROWD GATHERED for the sunrise worship service during Parent’s Weekend listens to Greg Smith of Nashville, Tenn.

The group saw a revival in membership since the players lost their 25 members in 1983, and they planned activities for Black History Month in February. The group, which had its own dance company, planned a show that included prose, poetry, song and dance. The group met to come up with a theme for the show that would be appropriate for their Black History Month. The theme usually dealt with a specific aspect of being black, such as the struggle of black women, the theme last year, Ray said. The Art Guild was an “informal group of people who are art majors: commercial, fine art and art education,” said Kelley Shay, a Bowling Green senior and group president. The group focused on field trips taken 200 Organizations throughout the year and was looking forward to the exhibit in Cincinnati, Ohio, of the works of Franz Kline, an abstract expressionist painter. The Art Guild also tried to provide its mem- bers with opportunities to view artworks they might not have otherwise seen, such as slides of the Whitney Biennial art show in New York. As for language, the Russian Club existed “to promote the study of the Russian language and an appreciation of Soviet life,” said Amy Decker, a Louisville senior and president of the club. Members had to have had at least one Russian class to join and group activities consisted of speaking and singing Russian. “We're prob- ably the only group who sings and speaks Russian and enjoys Soviet life,” Decker said. Last year’s big event for the Russian Club was taking first place in the foods division of Inter- national Day. Members of the group prepared the Russian recipes that were served. Various groups at Western sought to promote cultural studies in such areas as music, Pirouettes and parlez-vous theater, art and language. The Amazing Tones of Joy, or as the members called it, ATJ, was “a gospel choir made up of students from WKU with the purpose to sing gospel for areas usually around Tennessee and Kentucky. We do represent Western wherever we go,” David Sanders, a Pembroke junior and president of ATJ, said. Two major events were in store for ATJ. “The Anniversary” on April 17 was to include other choirs that were invited to celebrate an- other year of ATJ through a “little gospel extravaganza,” Sanders said. Also, ATJ members looked forward to traveling to Memphis, Tenn., to sing at the Alst National Baptist Student Union Retreat in March. “It’s kind of exciting to go down and perform fora lot of people,” Sanders said. Sanders said that the choir was invited to sing at the retreat last year and the performance went MEMBERS OF THE Amazing Tones of Joy sing during a church service for Parent’s Weekend.

Other choirs came from as far away as Texas, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina to sing at the event, Sanders said. In the near future, ATJ hoped to raise money to buy robes for each member. That would mean robes for an average of 27 members, Sanders said. Another organization with the purpose of promoting music was Delta Omicron. Mem- bers had to be music majors or minors with a 2.0 GPA. “Our sole purpose is to promote music,” Brenda Carter, a Leitchfield senior and _presi- dent of the club said. The group did so by sponsoring car washes, bake sales, hot dog sales and valentines sales to raise money for music stands, equipment for the listening library and scholarships. Every year Delta Omicron sponsored the successful faculty recital with reception fol- lowing at the Faculty House. In the area of theater, Western Players acted as a supplemental group to the theater department. The group was made up of mostly theater majors and minors, although the only requirement for the group was an interest in theater. Western Players hosted an increase in mem- bership this year with 30 members. “There has been more involvement this year than there has been,” Julie Kredens, a Louisville senior and group president, said. The Western Players concentrated on rec- ruitment and hoped to draw students through a Big-Brothers-Big-Sisters-type program in which a member of Western Players would host a high school student for three days. The students were to attend classes with the West- ern Players. “It (recruitment) is vital to our department,” Kredens said. Alpha Psi Omega Julie Kredens, Bart Lovins, Lynn Kirkpatrick, Ann Street.

They had a period of pledgeship. They ran their chapter meetings by Roberts Rules of Order, and they had participated in campus activity. “We've got a brotherhood equal to that of any social fraternity on campus,” Jeremy Turner, a Tompkinsville senior, and president of Delta Sigma Pi, said. “We are proud to wear our letters.” Delta Sigma Pi was a professional fraternity for students of business, economics and ac- counting. The group had 44 active members and 25 pledges. To be eligible for membership in Delta Sigma Pi students had to be in their second semester and have at least a 2.5 GPA. They also had to be enrolled in business classes. On Western’s campus since May of 1964, the Zeta Theta chapter had probably become best known as the group that produced the Abacus, a datebook listing pertinent campus infor- mation. The group took great pride in the book and themselves. “We have a professional program, but it goes farther than that,” Becky Melton, an Owens- boro junior, said. This year, the “family” participated in ac- tivities that were generally thought to be those of social fraternities. They sponsored a Home- coming queen candidate and built a float for the parade. The float won the first-place award. But professionalism was a key issue in the philosophy of the Delta Sigs. The professional program included weekly meetings and speakers from different business professions ad- dressed the group twice a month. Sometimes the group would tour a business or an industrial plant. The fraternity hosted a recognition banquet each year where they honored an outstanding business person in Bowling Green. The critera for selection were that the person be successful in business, be involved in community service in some way and be of help to a charity. The “Wall of Fame,” which was in the lobby of Grise Hall. winners were recognized on the group's Past winners included Ervin G. Houchens, owner of Houchens grocery stores, Jo Tilden Orendorf, past president of Citizens National Bank, and Jean Thomason, past president of the Bowling Green Board of Realtors. But before becoming an active member, a student first went through an eight-week pledgeship period. During this time, the pledges got to know the actives and learned the history of Delta Sigma Pi. The pledge group was responsible for participating in a fund- raiser, setting up a professional program and sponsoring a community activity and social function. Even as a pledge, members said they felt Delta Sig offered them a place to feel they 202 Delta Sigma Pi ) —Score Wiseman Business Gs USUCI belonged. “It is an organization where I can relate to the people because we all have something in com- mon,” Cindy Calvert, a Smiths Grove soph- omore, said. “We are all business students. It’s a closeness we all share. We are all willing to help each other,” Calvert said. Turner said the fraternity also developed leadership and professional skills, as well as helping the students when they graduated. “It gives you the experience of working in a business-type atmosphere—kind of like a board meeting often.” Both Melton and Calvert agreed. “It has taught me how to manage my time,” Melton said. “As editor of the Abacus, I had to handle actual business situations. I had to work with the printer, the university and the book- store.” Calvert said, “It has shown me how to deal with business situations not being taught in the classroom.” “Being a member of Delta Sig can also help me when I graduate,” Calvert said. “The fra- ternity is well known in the community. Through contacts with the fraternity many members have received job offers.” Calvert summed up the importance of Delta Sigma Pi. “Delta Sig is a place I feel I belong and will have lasting friendships.” AT THE AG CENTER, Delta Sigma Pi members DURING A meeting, Glasgow junior Gary Willis and construct a float for Homecoming.

The U.S. government offered to help pay a student's expenses if that student would agree to join the armed forces upon graduation. The military organizations offered camaraderie for those who were preparing to serve their country. The Semper Fidelis Society was composed entirely of Marine Corps Officer candidates. This organization devoted itself to encouraging membership in the Marine Corps and estab- lishing brotherhood between the officer candi- dates. According to J.T. Blacketer, a Louisville junior and leader of Semper Fidelis, the high- light of the year for the organization was the {Oth commemorative anniversary of Iwo Jima. The group participated in a 221-mile run from Louisville to the grave of PFC Sousley, one of 204 Organizations omrades In the Marines who raised the flag on Iwo Jima in World War II. Whereas membership in Semper Fidelis was voluntary, membership in Seabbard and Blade was an honor for any person in the military science department. A person had to have a 3.0 GPA in military science and a 2.5 GPA overall to become a member of Scabbard and Blade. The group dedicated itself to campus- oriented service and trying to build up its ranks. They hoped to have a new pledge class of 15 members in the fall. They were also very visible to the rest of the campus as they presented the Saber Arts at home football games. The Red Knights Society was open to any person taking a class in the military science department. Before becoming a member, a person had to go through a candidate phase —James Borchuck where he was tested on drilling skills and over- all positive attitude. According to Co mmander Kevin Neal, a Monroe, N.C. junior, the group's membership suffered because “new people aren't interested.” When enough members were available, the Red Knights provided the color guard at home basketball games. Special Forces differed from other military organizations in that its members were not required to join the ROTC program. The Special Forces spent four days training in helicopters at Fort Campbell, Ky., and, ac- cording to Steve Tucker, a Livermore junior, impressed the trainer. Tucker said that one goal for the organization was to convince people that “we're not crazy or weird. We're good intelligent guys that love our country.

Win, build, send was a distinct theme that ran through Campus Crusade, president Daisley Gordon, a Louisville junior, said. This means, “Winning people to Jesus Christ through evangelism, building or developing them in their faith and equipping and sending them to do the same,” Gordon said. Though stated in various ways, these ideas were con- sistent throughout all of the religious groups on campus. Some religious groups were based on de- nominations while others were inter- denominational. The Student Fel- lowship was sponsored by Independent Chris- Western Christian tian churches. “Our purpose is to be a church on campus,” president Steve Powell, a Louisville senior, said. The group met for Bible study on Tuesday nights at His House, their fellowship Keeping fain IVAN WILSON C center. “We would like to increase our group size and be more visible and active on campus,” Powell said. The group also wanted to do “some activities with other Christian groups on cam- pus and in that way achieve some unity a- mong Christians on campus.” For the Wesley Foundation, a Methodist organization, the main activity was the Sunday worship service. “We have 40 to 50 people who come on Sunday,” Campbellsville sophomore Kim Davis, the group's president, said. Even though the group was mostly Methodist, “We have a lot of non-Methodist students,” Davis said. “We've spent this year rebuilding because about 22 people graduated last year,” she said. Their goal was to “attract more people and rebuild our group. We want to get known on campus, especially among Methodist students,” she said. Kim Patterson, a Livermore senior and president of the Baptist Student Union, said, “The purpose of the Baptist Student Union is to —Drew Tarter reach out to students on campus and get them involved as an extension of their church youth group. The focus is trying to let God lead and direct our lives. The greater community that supports the BSU and the emphasis on missions is great,” she said. The BSU showed their mission concern 1n several ways. “BSU tries to raise money through both semesters so they can send out college students as summer missionaries in the United States and Kenya,” Patterson said. Last year’s goal was $4,200. The group not only sent money, but it also sent people. Last summer about 15 BSU mem- bers were summer missionaries. One was sent to Kenya and two participated in a drama team that toured Kentucky and worked at a Baptist camp. The group also took a missions trip to New Orleans during Christmas break. The BSU was also working on plans for a new facility. “We should see some results in work- ing towards a new building in one-and-a-half to two years. We are still working on the finances,” Patterson said. Another group, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said its purpose on campus was, “To present to the athletes and coaches and all they —continued on page 208 Baptist Student Union FRONT ROW: Robin Beckham, Michele Dean, Randy Ward, Anne Duncan, Deborah Weddle, Sherry Pontrich.

One way of presenting that challenge was a 100-hour Jogathon at Smith Stadium. A cross was carried continually around the track by the runners. The Jogathon was used as a fundraiser and a witness to the campus. “The time of being 208 Organizations together strengthened our group,” Diel said. The group stressed its weekly Thursday night meetings. “If you come to a meeting you are considered a member,” Diel said. One goal of the FCA was, “To help change people, to present an alternative to the campus and show people that you don’t have to be dull or boring to be a Christian. There has been some sig- nificant changes in the lives of the people in our organization,” he said. The newest group on campus was Great Commission Students. The group formed at the end of the spring semester in 1985. “Our purpose is to present the claims of Jesus Christ and to help students with their personal re- lationship with Christ,” president Doug Pat- terson, a Guthrie Center, Iowa, senior, said. The Wednesday night “Life Group,” or Bible group’s main activity was the study. “We try to focus on individuals and their relationships instead of just one big group,” he said. One of their major events was a Destiny Conference. Twelve members attended the conference in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of Campus Crusade for Christ was “to meet the spiritual needs. of students. Students have physical, mental, social and spiritual needs. The one need most —Lynne Roberts AT THE WESLEY Foundation’s “Banana Split- Gutting” party, members feast upon a 20-foot banana split. The Wesley Foundation was a Methodist student organization. the spiritual need,” Daisley Gordon said. To meet this need the group focused on small- group Bible study and evangelism. Campus Crusade members could have been involved in several conferences and mission projects. For instance, they sponsored a Greek Conference in Knoxville. “We want to have a large group attend Operation Sunshine (a spring break evangelistic conference) and do short-term mission projects in the U.S. and abroad,” Gordon said. To reach the campus, “We brought a travel- ing Campus Crusade speaker, Henry Oursler. He spoke at Greek meetings and class rooms on various topics,” Gordon said. Another group stressed recruitment, but not for themselves. “We want to recruit people to Christ, not the group,” said Navigator presi- dent Jim Henderson, an Ashland, Wis., ju- nior. “Our aim is to help fulfill Christ’s great commission by multiplying laborers in every nation,” he said. The Navigators concentrated on small- group Bible studies and the individual, Hen- derson said. “We want to help them (Navigator “Western Christian Student Fellowship FRONT ROW: David Vaughan, Ellen Estep, Diane Workman, JoAnn Woodruff, Cari Wil- son, Steve Stovall.

The spring conference was held in Wilmore and included guest speakers and workshops. The Colorado Christ- mas trip was held at Colorado Springs, Navi- gator headquarters. It gave members, “a deeper realization that they could be used by God in reaching people.” They were “seeing God work in their personal lives and seeing their personal lives used in the work of others,” Henderson said. 209 Organizations BY MARCIA ROBERTE SON For some, the term “home economics” brought back memories of a class in high school, while others had no idea of what home economics was all about. However, members of the various home economics clubs knew what it was all about and were making it a way of life. The Home Economics Association was designed for home ec majors and minors with a 3.0 or better GPA. According to club chairperson Lori Hagan, a Maceo senior, the function of the club was to 210 Organizations unite all of the Home Economics Departments and to bring in speakers to talk to students about career opportunities in their fields. Although they were a campus-based club, the biggest activity during the 1985-86 school year was raising and donating $50 to a local hospital. Phi Upsilon Omicron was the home ec honor society.

But to join Phi U, members had to have a 3.0 GPA and be a home ec major with 45 hours. Graduate students needed a 3.5 GPA and 12 hours of graduate credit. The biggest change that took place within Phi U was the increase in community service. They visited Warren County high schools to speak to students about careers in home econ- ° omics. “A lot of students are not aware of the oppor- tunities in home economics,” Smith said. “It is our duty to inform them.” Fashion, Inc. was an organization created for textile and clothing majors and minors. According to president Heather Virnig, a Louisville senior, the organization did not really have a purpose. “We just get together and socialize,” Virnig said. “We do a lot of fun things. People in our organization know each other really well.” Fashion, Inc. sponsored an annual Careers Day for those interested in textiles and cloth- ing. Interior Designs, an organization for in- terior design majors and minors, had two major goals for 1986. According to president Brent Van Meter, a Bowling Green senior, Interior Designs was going to redesign the fourth floor of the Aca- demic Complex and work on becoming ac- credited. “We want to become a nationally accredited organization,” Van Meter said. “In order to do this, we must complete the project we have been assigned...to redesign the fourth floor of the Academic Complex.” This past school year, they began putting out a newsletter. The major project for the Interior Designers was “Home Tour.” “Home Tour” was a fund-raising project in which they asked people who owned exceptionally beautiful homes to allow them to be a part of the tour.

The purpose of the university visits was to clear up American misconceptions about the Soviet Union. AT A CAMPUS conference, Sergei Shuravlyov, journal- ism professor at Moscow University, and Bantsekin answer audience questions. The two visited seven U.S. universities. TO MAKE a point at the press conference, Bantsekin writes on a black board. He was criticizing President Reagan's Stra- tegic Defense Initiative. 2k2 Organizations DURING A LUNCHEON, Dr. Nikita Bantsekin from the Institute for the Study of the United States and Canada answers students’ questions. The luncheon was in DUC. BY 1 ODD PACK In the beginning, Western’s chapter of United Campuses for the Prevention of Nuclear War, (UCAM), found it difficult to get respect. This was to be expected, Kim Swift, the organization’s president, said. After all, there had never been a group like UCAM at Western, Swift said. Swift, a Shelbyville junior, said that last year “you would call administrators (and tell them you were from UCAM) and they thought it was a joke.” But the response UCAM got when they sponsored a visit by two Soviets in November was different from the response the organization got when it began in October of 1984. The main activity UCAM sponsored last year was Peace Fest 84, a three-day anti-nuclear awareness campaign that featured a closed- circuit televised discussion on the arms race and a debate between representatives of both Presi- dent Ronald Reagan and Democratic nominee Walter Mondale. About 65 people turned out for each event. “Things were kind of slow at first,” Swift said. For Peace Week ’85, UCAM, along with the University Lecture Series, brought Secretary General Sergei Zhuraulev, director of the USSR Student Council, and Dr. Nakita Bantsekin, of The Institute for the Study of the United States and Canada, to Western as part of the So- viets’ tour of seven U.S. universities. This tour also included such universities as Vanderbilt and Harvard. On Nov. 19, while President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the arms race, Zhurauley and Bantsekin met with 300 people in Van Meter Auditorium to discuss the same Gorbachev met in thing. “IT think we have now the greatest possibility to start a new direction in the arms race,” Bantsekin told the audience. Swift said the purpose of the visit was to clear up some misconceptions Americans have of Soviets. Todd Mills, UCAM’s treasurer, said one misconception was that, “these people are always thought of as being so aggressive. They want the same things we do,” the Huntington, W. Va. graduate student said. “They're human beings.” Even though U.S. Soviet relations are now strained, Zhuraulev said, the two countries have never fought each other but have fought side by side. “I would say the Soviet people would remember more the times w hen we were allies,” than Americans do, he said. Bantsekin said, “I see it like our duty to make the world safer for our children.” “The Soviet Union,” Zhuraulev said, “does not want to take over the world.” Besides the discussion in Van Meter, the Soviets also visited English, government, his- -Tim Broekema East meets Western tory and psychology classes and met with students at a luncheon in the university center. It was in a speech class in high school that Nashville freshman Tonie Bitseff became inter- ested in the nuclear arms race. i “I was involved in debate, debating SDI,” she said of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, also known as “Star Wars.” After hearing about UCAM through news of the Soviet delegation, Bitseff said, “I thought it would be interesting to come here and see what they were doing.” Somerset senior Linda Chamberlain also be- gan going to UCAM meetings after the question-and-answer session. “Going to the Soviet lecture raised my consciousness level,” she said. Psychology professor Sam McFarland, the organization’s adviser, said, “What we have now is probably 50 to 60 (students) who are interested.” Last year UCAM had only 10 members. Although things were slow for the group at first, Swift said, “We just kept going, and, little by little, people accepted us.” She said that now administrators took UCAM’s phone calls seriously. “We're even in Hilltopics now, so I guess we're a real group,” she said with a laugh. “I think we're slowly getting some respect.” A) Fatt © 1 Oroeebe Yau © B ER 1ePrO@ PE 213 Organizations « Heloing Hands The health organizations at Western gave students in health-related majors a chance to perform service to the community, while gain- ing some valuable experience. At the same time, sociology groups helped students better understand behavior of groups. The American Dental Hygienists kept busy with service projects. Adviser Dr. Ruby Meador said that during Children’s Dental Health Month the group visited community grade schools, along with giving away tooth- brushes, and other free gifts that promoted dental health, at their “table clinics” that they sponsored one weekend at the Greenwood Mall. “To reach the public sector promoting dental health,” was one of the group's goals, Meador said. They also competed at a state and_ national level, and helped the elderly by working with 214 Organizations geriatrics. All of the students involved in the American Dental Hygienists were in good grade standing and enrolled in an accredited program. For health profession majors, there was Eta Sigma Gamma, the national professional honorary society of health services. The purpose of the organization was “to elevate standards, ideals, competencies and ethics of pro- fessionally trained men and women in the dis- cipline of health science,” said Doug Ford, a Bowling Green senior, and vice president for the group. To be a member of Eta Sigma Gamma, students had to have a 2.7 GPA the semester prior to induction and a 2.5 overall. All mem- bers had to be health profession majors. Last fall the group sponsored a booth at Downing University Center for the Great- American Smoke-Out.

Also Ford said the group slated plans to get the faculty more involved through invitations to meetings and opportunities to help in ac- tivities like a booth for the Great American Smoke-Out. They also planned to compete with faculty in bowling, basketball and volley- ball at a picnic in the spring. Just getting started, the Medical Tech- nicians Club worked to get more organized and to raise money for the new organization, President Lorraine Leonard, a Hebron senior, said. The purpose of the group was to help studenst to prepare to go to Medical Tech- nology school. Leonard said that they have fun learning and preparing for interviews. “Student growth and development” was what many of the activities of the Kentucky Public Health Association aimed toward, adviser Dr. Ray Biggerstaff said.

But no matter how many fields there were, the clubs available tried to offer their members one thing: a chance to advance in their particular fields of interests. Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-medical honors society, attempted to “provide ca- maraderie between pre-professional people and to provide free health services for the com- munity,” Cheryl Williams, a Glasgow senior, and president of the group, said. Williams said the group included pre- optometry, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, and pre-medical students under the heading of pre-professional. Last year, the group initiated 10 members, bringing their total to 38. These members were required to have a 3.2 GPA overall, a 3.0 GPA in the sciences and 45 hours accumulated within the university. Each year, Alpha Epsilon Delta concentrated on an observation progam, “where people have a chance to observe under a doctor of whatever type they choose,” Williams said. The group also sponsored an annual freshman orientation seminar to introduce potential pre-medical honor students to Alpha Epsilon Delta. The sole purpose of the orientation was ——_— eee = 218 Organizations to “introduce people to the club,” Williams said, “not sign them up for classes.” Williams also said that various university officials were invited. But there was a less serious side to Alpha Epsilon Delta. “We try to do things that are not so academically oriented,” Williams said. The group had Halloween and Christmas parties, and participated in the College Bowl com- petition for the first time last fall. “Even though we are an honor society, we do a lot of social things, too. A lot of frienships develop,” Williams said. For another group, the Geology Club, “to promote field experience” was the primary fo- cus because “geology is not something you can learn in class. You have to get out there in the field and get your hands on some rocks and bang on them with hammers,” Tony Able, an Am- ericus, Ga., graduate student, and president of the club, said. Last year the club took a field trip to Penny- rile, Tenn., on a fossil collecting mission at a quarry owned by Vulcan Materials. The group also went to Falls of the Ohio in Louisville to visit a coral reef that has the largest variety of fossils available. “It’s the most famous fossil observation sight in America,” Able said. The group planned a trip to the Geological —WMike Kiernan In The name of science Society of America conference held in Mem- phis, Tenn., in March. Also, a trip to Raccoon Mountain, Tenn., was on the agenda where members of the club expected to do field work. Part of the mountain had been excavated to install turbines in the mountain for an electrical generation operation and Able said outcrops of rock would be ideal fora dig. The Geology Club was open to all. “We invite as many people as we can,” Able said. “We ask Western students and people from the community of Bowling Green, too.” For those interested in biology there was Beta Beta Beta, or Tri-Beta as members called it, the national biology honor society. The group sought to “bring together all people who are interested in biology and hopefully promote research (among students),”sa id Ann Clark, a Greensburg senior and president of the club. Members of Tri-Beta were divided into two groups: actives and associate members. Actives were required to have a 2.7 GPA with a 3.0 GPA in biology with at least nine hours in that area, and associate members needed an interest in biology. Williams said that the group helped “pro- vide support and experiences” for their mem- bers that would help them get into medical school. Last fall, nine members were accepted PRESIDENT Chery! Williams asks for a show of hands during a vote at a February meeting of Alpha Epsilon Delta. The club was an honor society for pre-medical majors. to various professional schools. “We're pretty happy,” Williams said. For students interested in computer science, there was the Association of Computing Ma- chinery that offered, “to give a place to people who are interested in computer machinery and to meet and talk to professionals,” Patricia Malone, a Madison, Tenn., senior, and chair- man of club, said. The club was part of a national organization. Members did not necessarily have to be com- puter science majors or minors, but most of the group's 70 members were, Malone said. Mem- bers also had to be full-time students; however, part-time students could join though they were not entitled to voting power, Malone said. The Association of Computing Machinery concentrated on bringing speakers from the professional world to campus to address the members. Last year, the group became more successful in ventures to draw speakers from out of town, Malone said. The group had featured speakers from Carnegie-Melon and IBM in Lexington and expected speakers from Vanderbilt and Texas Instruments in Dallas. The professionals spoke on various topics such as artificial intelligence and “things we don’t encounter in school,” Malone said. “We try to get a lot of different areas.” The associati on also tried to integrate a social program into the club’s activities such as a Christmas party and picnics in the spring and fall. “Professors come in blue jeans and play volleyball. That’s fun,” Malone said. Tri-Beta held monthly meetings with speakers featured at each one. Also members were preparing for the Association of South- eastern Biologists conference where members planned to present papers on their research topics. Last year Tri-Beta members took first place and third place at the conference. Ken Parrish, a Hanson senior, was elected regional president of the organization, Clark said. One research topic that Clark and another member of Tri-Beta were working on was a project that included obtaining envelopes to determine if they had been licked or sealed by machine. Organisms were grown from samples of the licked envelopes “to try to determine if you can send germs through the mail,” Clark said. Some people considered physics a less popu- lar branch of the sciences, but the Society of Physics Students was doing something to change that image. The purpose of the organ- ization was “to basically promote physics, but it’s also to interest people in the sciences in general,” said Garry Taylor, a Bowling Green senior, and president of the society. “We (physics majors) are sort of stereotyped as people with calculators and plastic guards in our pockets for our pens,” Taylor said. “Physics is fun; that’s fun witha ph,” Taylor said. The group tried to involve its 20 members in “unusual activities,” such as a Christmas party on Sept. 25. “Finals week is so pushed that students don’t get to enjoy the fellowship,” Taylor said. The Christmas party, held in the group's room on the second floor of Thompson Complex, came complete “with all the trim- mings” including a dinner with turkey and ham, after which the club members went car- oling around Thompson, Taylor said. Membership was open to anyone, par- ticularly those interested in physics, Taylor said. The major activity for the group was the spring banquet held in April where new officers were announced, new members inducted and the outstanding physics student award pre- sented. As for the future, The Society of Physics Students hoped “to not go broke,” Taylor said. Association for Computing Machinery FRONT ROW: Henry Meadows, Patricia Malone, Karen Yount, Robin James.

A field trip to Huntsville Space Museum in Huntsville, Ala., was planned, along with other tours. “To promote better understanding,” and to “help students prepare to go into the job world,” were some of the main objectives of the group, said president Jeff Bradford, a Bowling Green senior.

Beard. “Students graduate and the younger students are hard to find,” Beard said. The activities of the ASME included going on field trips relating to mechanical engineer- ‘Wired for success ing and social even ts like a picnic in the fall. Going on field trips was a big part of the Civil Engineering Technology Club, Greg- ory Mills, assistant professor of Industrial and Engineering Technology and adviser of the club, said. The club scheduled trips to plants, but the biggest event was the senior project. In the senior project, the seniors prepared a presentation of all the things they had done in the school year. Mills felt that they had one bad semester, but some of the new members rebuilt the club as a more active group. Many college degrees could be gained by simply going to the classes and achieving the credits needed for any given major. The engi- neering organizations allowed students with engineering majors a chance for an edge in the job market by gaining experience needed for their field. Also, they allewed students to get to know people who could help them when they graduated, and to meet other people who had the same interests. The engineering organizations were not all work. Industrial Education and Tech- nology members went to educational seminars as well as social events and did some service projects. “We make toys for different groups,” said Dr. Terry Leeper, the adviser of Industrial Education and Technology. Leeper also said the group assisted grade schools by making play- ground equipment and judging engineering project contests. On the educational side, the group had seminars so that students could keep up with the pace of their field. “Students are more interested in the tech- nological change while in school,” Leeper said. Learning was also a big part of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. This branch of the national organization of the same name had a membership increase of 25 percent with the help of a membership drive, president Charlene Clark, a Jeffersontown sophomore, said. SME held monthly programs dealing with industrial majors and had their own service projects. “We made buttons for Bowling Green High School so they could raise money,” Clark said. Also she said SME gives $100 a year to a scholarship program.

Honors organizations provided for academic recognition for students in various areas. Psi Chi was the national honor society to promote excellence in the study of psychology, said Scott Kinsella, a Fort Thomas sophomore and group president. Members were required to have an overall GPA of 3.0 and psychology. Psi Chi concentrated on bringing in speakers to address the group every month. Faculty members, others from such places as Com- prehensive Care and psychologists with private practices were asked to speak to Psi Chi. 222 Organizations 12 hours of Kinsella hoped to encourage a more active membership and raise funds to take a group to the Southwest Psychological Association Con- vention in Orlando, Fla. However, fundraisers met with “mild success,” Kinsella said. The Black Scholastic sought to promote academic excellence among Achievers Club black students and “uphold and highlight black students who are achievers,” said David Pad- gett, a Baltimore junior and president of the club. Members were required to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Participation rose this year for the group as they inducted 22 members in the fall. “We're a little less formal,” Padgett said. But he stressed that the club was not a social one. “We're a Alpha Epsilon Delta FRONT ROW: Pacrick Francke, Cheryl Wil- fiams, Lisa Mikulcik, BACK ROW: Todd Cheever, Frank Miller, Mark Newman, Ehzabeth McDonald Black Scholastic Achievers FRONT ROW: Andrea Hollowell, Finley Carol Baird, Sandra Harcher.

The group planned to formulate a game based on the popular Trivial Pursuit called Black History Pursuit Trivia Game. They also planned to help black students who weren't doing well academically. The Order of Omega honors society existed to “promote scholarship and leadership in and outside of greek life,” said Cindy Strine, a Glen Ellyn, Ill. senior, and president of the group. Members were required to be greek, main- tain a 3.0 GPA and submit an application to be reviewed by the active members. Only three percent of the greek population was usually accepted, Strine said.

Phi Eta Sigma’s focus for the year was the bi-annual convention held in Indianapolis. The president of the group, a senior adivser and two older members were to participate. Last fall, Dr. Jack Sagabiel, the group’s sponsor, was elected national vice president. This was the the first time a smaller, regional school had a faculty member elected to a 224 Organizations national office. For students who excelled in English, Sigma Tau Delta, the national English honors society, offered “students a chance to get to know each other and the faculty,” said Tracy Ford, president and Brandenburg senior. Members of the organization were required to have a 3.2 minimum GPA in English, a 3.0 overall and two upper-level literature courses. Last year the group sponsored a lounge in the basement of Cherry Hall where they furnished a coffee pot and refreshments. The lounge was “a popular place for English students,” Ford said. Last spring, the group was concentrating on sending members to the bi-annual national convention to be held in St. Louis. Another society related to the study of language was Pi Delta Phi, an honor society that sought to promote an awareness of French customs and society, Lisa Stanfield, an E- lizabethtown senior, and president of the club, said. The requirements for the group were a 3.0 GPA in French and overall, and enrollment ina 300-level French class. The group concentrated on International Day held at Downing University Center where they served crepes and beignets, a doughnut- like pastry. At the booth on International Day, the small group of eight people raised about $30 which they planned to spend ona field trip to a French restaurant or on a film about French life, said Stanfield.

Students were required to have a 3.32 GPA, more than 60 semester hours, and have a record of outstanding campus involvement and lead- ership. But most of all, students had to have a personal interest in being involved inODK. Patricia Malone, a Madison, Tenn., sentor and member of ODK, said, “The people who are accepted are usually involved in two or three organizations. We usually induct 10 to 15 people a year.” Malone said meetings were held usually two or three times a semester and last year they held a faculty tea at the Faculty House.

While many honors organizations existed on the national level, Western’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta was a part of the international history honors program. “We try to promote the study of history and research and give teachers and students a chance to socially inter- act,” said group president, Jane Massey, a Scottsville senior. The requirements for membership were an overall GPA of 3.0 witha 3.1 in history after 12 hours of various history courses. Phi Alpha Theta met monthly with students and faculty members making presentations. The group also sponsored a college bow! pitting the faculty against the students. Phi Alpha Theta was the only historical society on campus. “We're all just a bunch of people who love history,” Massey said. A) ORO Organizations BY ROBYN ss =6d PQTNWa Campus organizations provided op- portunities for involvement outside the class- room. Business majors had many chances to get involved. Some were active groups and pro- vided links to the business and professional world while others were specifically honor so- cieties which recognized scholarship and lead- ership. The groups varied in size from 10 to 65. One of the largest groups was Delta Sigma Pi, a fraternity for business majors with a grade point average of at least 2.5. The chapter was very active, according to the adviser Dr. Law- erence Finley, professor of management and marketing. Finley spoke enthusiastically about the activities the chapter was involved in. There were several large projects which they worked on throughout the year. Spring Recog- nition for the College of Business involved several thousand dollars and several hundred people and was usually a big event. The Delta Sigs were also active in Homecoming. The group also sponsored many activities related to their profession. They toured busi- nesses and had guest speakers for meetings. There was also an “informal placement” service for the group with its alumni, Finley said. Because the chapter was so active, alumni usually stayed in touch and quite frequently had good jobs and business contacts. There were two things which distinguished this group from others. It was a successful group in terms of its and membership. And the group had a good balance between the pro- fessional and social activities, Finley said. Phi Beta Lambda was also a_ pro- fessionally-oriented group. The president, Lea Ann Hill, a Madisonville senior, said that it was a “good educational experience.” Its main purpose was to familiarize majors with the business world, Hill said. The group met professional stockbrokers and bankers and also participated in a national conference and competition for their chapter last year where they won first place, Hill said. Members also did community service pro- jects. This year they helped needy children at Christmas. The group had just reactivated, so one of its main goals was to increase membership, Hill said, The Accounting Club was the campus or- ganization for accounting majors. The club was petitioning for national affiliation with Beta Alpha Psi, so members had to meet the required 3.0 GPA to be considered. —Michael Kiernan The main goal for the members of the Ac- counting Club to get was to know public and private sector accountants and understand the differences between the two. This year the group became more active than past groups. Several members worked at Phonothon. They hoped to increase membership, be successful in their petition and have a better relationship with faculty, Tammy Atherton, a Utica senior and club president, said. Marketing majors were not left out; they had the Marketing Club. And they encouraged anyone who was interested to join. President Keela Stapp, Russel Springs senior, said that the group was just getting reorganized, so a main goal was to increase membership. To maintain their national affili- ation, they must have 25 members. Their main funtion was to provide a link with the American Marketing Association. The member s got involved at the national level with conferences and newsletters. This year they hoped to get more members who really wanted to work. Secretaries were vital to the business society as well, and the National Collegiate As- sociation of Secretaries, open to students in secretarial administration and business admin- istration, offered an avenue toward “pro- fessional growth and leadership” for members. “We're a departmental organization that works closely with faculty members to en- courage students to get involved in business,” said Stacey Houchens, a Glasgow sophomore and president of NCAS. At monthly meetings, NCAS members dis- covered first-hand all that their careers would encompass. Guest speakers gave their advice on everything including how to “dress for success. ” Business majors don’t always expect to be business people. Some wanted to be lawyers. The Pre-Law Club had many majors, in- cluding business, in it. The main purpose of the club was to fa- maliarize members with the process of getting into law schools. They also had guest speakers that informed them about what is going on in the field. A field trip to a law school was usually planned for the year. They were reorganizing and hoped to in- crease membership. —continued on page 230 AT AN Accounting Club meeting, Tammy Atherton, a Utica senior, addresses cub members.

Student Bus- iness Organization was for any officer of a business club. This group was a liason between the Dean of the College of Business and the students. They met once a month to talk about what was happening in the College of Business. There were two big things that they worked on during the year. They helped freshmen at orientation with scheduling and questions about a business major and got great feedback from the students. They also published a re- sume book which was distributed to businesses throughout the United States.

A) 251 Orgamainons BY STEVE PEER ee, Western students who had a growing inter- est in agriculture learned some of the required skills outside the classroom in one of the many agriculture clubs at the university. The organ- izations covered the field of agriculture from livestock and produce, to business and me- chanics. Students added to their classroom knowledge through the competitions and_proj- ects the clubs offered. “It’s amazing, all the things you learn,” Jodi McNemar, a Winchester junior and Dairy Science Club member, said. “It (the club) makes it fun to learn.” The Dairy Science Club taught proper training techniques and judging standards for dairy cattle. Every year the club trained and SEGA SERENA UE SRO li ll 252 Orgsnizations supported a judging team which traveled across the country participating in several national competitions. The club raised money to sup- port the team by selling concessions at the Agriculture Exposition Center on the univer- sity’s farm during events. “Last year's judging team got to travel a lot,” McNemar said, “and that’s a big accomplish- ment.” The club members also trained live- stock for show. They entered their animals in the Little North American, a competition held at the Ag-Expo Center, to win awards.

Planting the seeds of knowledge year. Their major project was the two-day Spring Classic, a walking horse and open game show. The riding and judging teams were all club members, Dr. Charles Anderson, faculty adviser, said. Block and Bridle, a national organization, gave students who were interested in animal science an opportunity to work with people who had similar interests, according to Dr. Gordon Jones, faculty adviser. The members also hosted and competed in the Little North American livestock competition at the university farm. Last year, Block and Bridle placed third in the nation for Junior Scholarship, a prestigious award, and fourth in the nation for overall activities. They also attended a national con- vention in Houston highlighted by an edu- cational tour of King Ranch, the largest landholding ranch in the world, Jones said. Most of the 55 members studied agriculture but some just had an interest in livestock. “Block and Bridle is a unique organization with all members bonded by their love for animals,” Jones said. The organization looked to increase mem- bership and participation. The Horticulture Club traced its roots back to a genuine interest in plants. Most of the 15 active members studied horticulture for greenhouse work or landscaping purposes. The club planned tours of nurseries and scheduled guest speakers as part of their activities. “This allows the students to see operations of horticulture giving them a better picture of how the horticulture industry works,” faculty adviser Dr. James Martin said. Last spring break, the club visited the larger nurseries in Florida and surrounding areas as part of their education. “You can learn more on that trip with hands-on experience than you can in class,” Richard Beckort, a Rockport, Ind., graduate student and club member, said. The club financed the trip with revenues raised from plant sales. Enough money was raised to pay for the travel and lodging ex- penses. The students paid food expenses only. The Agriculture Education Club had ac- tivities related to vocational agriculture. “It’s for students who want to be teachers or for those who want to be involved with exten- sion service,” Dr. James McGuire, faculty —continued on page 235 IN PREPARATION for the quarter horse auction, Princeton native Bryce Caldwell bridles his horse.

Se res ge ro The Agriculture Business Club harvested students interested in agriculture’s business field. Most of the 20 members of the new B Ee Histo auresreauaaaath organization majored in agriculture. Last year they attended the Farm Progress Show in Indi- ana. They planned a trip to Chicago where they attended the Board of Trade and observed the results of agriculture-related businesses. Dr. Alvin Bedel, faculty adviser, said that ; they developed a card file which matched graduating students with jobs. The Agriculture Mechanics Club cul- tivated the grounds at the univesity’s farm by building a new barn to house the equipment management program. Dr. Cletus Mitchell, the club’s faculty adviser, said that the 20 members, most of whom were “ag-mech” students, replaced the old dairy barn with a new building used to store the farm’s machinery. The club participated in a National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, with a booth promoting Western and its agriculture pro- gram. The members also raised enough money by working at the Exposition Center to have a banquet. 5D) Organizations ee —eeae”eeaa7 —eeoeO ‘«. ASSOCIATed presses graduation, students do Upon many more to prepare for the real world than class- room instruction afforded them. Organizations related to a student's career choice, however, could have offered them the insight and connections that a particular course failed to present. And in the field of mass communications, for instance, the organ- izations on campus related to the field had at least one common philosophy: professionalism was the key to career success. Public relations majors who were members of the Public Relations Student Society of America had much to gain from attending the local chapter meetings, according to Greg Maddox, president of PRSSA. “Basically, we try to prepare our members for the professional field,” he said. “We take them from college level to the professional level—slowly.” PRSSA was named outstanding chapter in the nation, and, said Maddox, “We're taking on tougher challenges, because now we have something to prove.” This year the chapter’s projects included a corporate newsletter for Navistar International, formerly International Harvester, and Maddox, an Owensboro senior, felt the best asset the club had was that its members and advisers were very involved with chapter activities. “I think we're more active and more pro- fessional than ever. In fact, we sometimes tend to get ina little over our heads,” he said. The Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, was also judged outstanding 236 Organizations chapter in the nation this past year, and the credit for that honor went to active members and hours of involvement by the chapter's ad- visers, said Scott Couch, a Glasgow senior and president of SDX. “We're very organized, and we have good advisers and leaders,” he said.“We've been a finalist for outstanding chapter several times, but this is the first time we have been named the outstanding chapter,” Couch said. Couch justified the past and present honors of SDX by the achievements and activities with which the club was affiliated. SDX sponsored the Kentucky High School “Mark of Excel- lence” essay competition. The chapter was also involved in a national project, “Project Watch- dog,” designed to draw attention to first amendment freedoms. “We're an avenue for competition,” he said. Advertising majors who were members of Western's Advertising Club were active as well. “We're definitely one of the most active organizations on campus,” said the chapter president, Lisa LeCompte, a Shelbyville senior. The club, a student chapter of the American Advertising Federation, “gives ad majors a chance to work together and learn the field,” LeCompte said, “not just through school ac- tivities, but from a professional standpoint.” The Ad Club’s main projects for students were its seminars held each semester. The fall semester seminar was “Marketing Music,” about Opryland, and the spring semester sem- inar was titled, “Getting Your Career In Gear.” The seminars introduced students to pro- fessionals in the field and gave the students a chance to ask questions and seek advice. The Ad Club also participated in a national advertising competition. LeCompte said members benefitted in many ways from the club’s activities, and through meetings members were able to make a number of professional contacts “And in many cases,” she said, “those con- tacts have provided jobs.” Western's chapter of the National As- sociation of Black Journalists was formed just this year, with the first official meeting in December. But according to Louisville soph- omore Marcia Robertson, secretary of the chap- ter, NABJ was off toa strong start. “We're newer than the chapter at the University of Kentucky,” she said, “but we have over twice as many members already.” “Our purpose is to unite all black journalists on campus, so that by joining forces we can help inform each other about internships and other opportunities,” she said. NABJ was established primarily as a “service organization” for Western’s black journalists. Robertson explained that only eight percent of journalists were black, and black journalists needed to be made aware of the jobs available—and where to find those jobs. The major project, she said, outside of having guest speakers and fundraisers, was to try to establish a library, or resource center, for black journalists in Gordon Wilson Hall. -Kachy Forrester if -Greg Lovett ASSOCIATED PRESS photographer Mark Humphries from Nashville, Tenn., sets up a dark room.

Cheryl Watkins, a Louisville junior and_ ser- vice vice president for Gamma Sigma Sigma, said that people often confuse the group with social sororities. “People see the greek letters and assume we're a social group.” A) PRES Se Seer Seo NS R oh i un Upshaw, Jr. i SON The educational clubs at Western were busy preparing their members for the world of teaching and educating. Distributive Education Club, the col- legiate branch of the high school’s DECA, was still deeply rooted in high schools. According to adviser Dr. Jerry Boles, the purpose of the group was to teach retailing and marketing to high school students. “It provides very little for its members except for giving them the satisfaction of knowing they helped prepare some students for the world of retailing and marketing,” Boles said. The only requirement to join was to be a marketing, business management or education major. The National Student Program was the collegiate branch of Education Association NEA designed for perspective teachers. According to adviser Dr. Robert Otto, it was 240 Organizacons for perspective teachers. Otto said the group sponsored a coat check during the Hilltoppers’ 1985-86 basketball season. Requirements to join the organization were to be a major or minor in education. The honor society of education was Kappa Delta Pi. Faulty adviser for the group, Virginia Mutchler, said the organization was not very busy this year because of the members’ hectic schedules. “We are not active in terms of activities,” Mutchler said. “Our people are so busy out there teaching that in order to have anything, we have to bring them back to campus. We have an initiation for new members and we have a luncheon with a speaker but that is usually in the summer.” In order to join Kappa Delta Pi, prospective members had to have an education major or MARCIA Mina ana body minor and havea 2.75 grade point average. While Americans were spending more time recreating and getting into shape, physical education and recreation majors were busy learning how to teach them. Two clubs were formed to educate physical education and recreation majors and to keep them updated on their fields. “We want to show people how they can improve their leisure time. Sitting in front of the TV is not a very creative way to use it,” said Tony Helm, a Hardinsburg senior. Helm was president of the Recreation Majors Club. Both clubs did service activities for the community. Each year the Physical Edu- cation Club does a fundraiser for the American Heart Association, said club president Belinda DURING A Speculative Fiction Society meeting, Matt Gore, an Aberdeen, S.D., senior, and John Hudson, a Danville senior, laugh. They were planning a trip to Mammoth Cave . ; | Kemper, an Upton senior. “The Recreation Club does things for the community,” Helm said. For the Wendy’s 10-K Classic race, “We did a lot of the regis- tration and stuffing the information packets and handing them out. We were part of that success,” Helm said. The club was also involved in the United Cerebral Palsy Telethon and the Special Olympics. To inform their members the Physical Edu- cation Club, “raised a lot of money through a silent auction to set up a speaker's fund,” Kemper said. “We want to get more physical education majors involved,” she said. “We're out to help other people as well as get experience for ourselves in the process,” Helm said. The Speculative Fiction Society educated its members in an unusual way.

The club offered its members friendship, information about the latest books in science fiction and fantasy and movies, Lovely said. The group included many interests under the speculative fiction heading such as comic book fans, Trekkies and Monty Python disciples. The Speculative Fiction Club hoped to bring a fanatasy film to campus to draw more members, but efforts were focused primarily on the weekly, “rather unorthodox meeting,” Lovely said. Through it all, however, Lovely said the Speculative Fiction Society sought to maintain an “illusion of formalcy” for the group that stressed “camaraderie is the most import- ant thing about it.” A) 241 Organizations BY MARCIA ROBERT - SON When Girl honor God and my country and to obey the laws Scouts took the oath “to of the pack,” it usually became a nice statement to say at every scout meeting. After a while, saying the oath became ritualistic and lost the full impact of its meaning. But for some girls, that phrase became an important way of life and they were Girl Scouts long after they earned all of their badges. Helen Hurst, a Bowling Green junior, and Mary Eade, a Bowling Green freshman, were two of those girls. They were members of the Campus Scouts and for the past two years they have been using training they learned in the Girl Scouts to help out the community, teach- ing swimming and water safety. According to Hurst, she first became a life- guard when she was a Girl Scout. “It all got started because of the Girl Scouts,” Hurst said. “My troop was always around water. We would go hiking around Barren River and go camping there. So, since we were around so much water, I thought it would be good if I knew how to properly save lives—so I Not just c took a water safety course.” Hurst's first experience with a drowning confirmed that belief. “When I was younger, I went on a camping trip with the Girl Scouts. And just moments before, a guy had drowned. It was a really eerie feeling. I had just gotten my certificate. Just imagine what would have happened if I had gotten there a little earlier.” Shortly afterwards, Hurst began working on her water safety instructor license. After she achieved that, she got her certificate that allowed her to teach swimming and water safety at Bowling Green High School. On an average, she taught 16 to 25 students everything they needed to know about water safety in 10 days. She also taught children how to swim for the first time. “It’s a great feeling, especially when you have a kid who is frightened to death of the water. And then when it is almost time for the course to end, he decides it’s now or never and takes off swimming in the water.” Hurst's co-instructor, Mary Eade, was also in 242 Campus scouts the same Girl Scout troop with her and was a member of Campus Scouts. But 'Eade’s reasons for teaching were slightly different than Hurst's. “T just like to teach people,” Eade said. “And if I had to spend my summer working, why not spend it doing something I love? Why not spend it in the pool?” Eade got involved with teaching water safety in a round-about way. She took a life guard course at Bowling Green High under Betty Anderson, the instructor over the whole pro- gram. Anderson, impressed at how well Eade did, asked her if she wanted to be a lifeguard at the pool. Eade accepted, applied with Bowling Green Parks and Recreations, and got the job. But after one year, she decided that she wanted to be an instructor. “It’s a really rewarding, good job,” Eade said. “And I really like teaching. I like the water and I enjoy seeing people in the water. But most of all, I like knowing that I have taught people how to be safe and save lives.” A) FRANKLIN-SIMPSON HIGH SENIOR, Frank Gooch, pulls Chris Harwood, a Bowling Green High junior, to shore.

PHOTOS BY GREG LOVETT | 243 Campus scouts Being a leader isn’t easy, especially at a suitcase college where group participation seems to be only a weekday concern, but a group of student leaders is doing what they can to change this. Student groups feel that apathy is a problem for all of them, said Scott Taylor, director of student organizations. “Apathy is not the problem. Apathy is the symptom to another problem,” Taylor said in his introduction to one of his Campus Leadership “Tools for the Trade” seminars, this one on “Motivation: The Last Hurrah!” “Tools for the Trade,” a program presented by the Office of Student Affairs, was in its first semester and included representatives from the Inter-Fraternity Council, Inter-Hall Council, University Center Board, Associated Student Government, Panhellenic and the Spirit Mas- ters. Taylor requested that each group send three members, but some sent more, and even more asked to take part in the seminar. “So far it has turned out better than I ever expected. Response was so favorable that we've 244 Leadership Seminars had a good class. This is a very unique group as involved as this group is,” Taylor said. Members met once a w eek for six weeks and the meetings usually lasted about two hours each. Meetings began with an icebreaker which gave students a chance to try out icebreaker ideas and get to know the other members better just as they would in working with other groups. The leaders were assigned to a group that they remained in throughout the semester and one of the responsibilities of each group was to come up with an icebreaker activity. One group made up personal questions that each member could answer yes or no to. When the question came up, persons who answered yes moved to their right even if there was someone sitting in that chair. Some members had yes answers to quite a few questions while others had yes answers for just a few, causing a three-person pileup at one point. “If you have called your mother twice this week, move to your right,” Leslie Moseley, a Columbia senior and Spirit Master, said during i ae “i'y “4 eet 4 ools for the trade her group's icebreaker. “I'll admit it,” Tommy L. Johnson, a Franklin senior, said as he sat on the lap of the person to his right. Johnson is a member of the Inter-Fraternity Council. Members participated in all activities through the groups they were assigned to and group activities were the focus of every meet- ing. These groups discussed such questions as what were leadership “downers,” factors to be considered when motivating others and what motivates people. The semester was divided into five seminars, each dealing with a different aspect of lead- ership. One held on situational leadership helped Leslie Moseley, an Executive Council member of the Spirit Masters, polish her lead- ership techniques. “I’ve learned to recognize the different types of leadership needed for different people. I think more about the way I’m going to phrase something or the way I’m asking someone to do AT A SEMINAR, Scott Taylor, director of student organizations, talks to campus leaders about trust. Groups met weekly for six weeks to talk about leadership qualities. —Robert Pope The Best Companies t Lave oy, Leaders Who Are Coaches Leaders’ Boidness Contrasted —Kevin Eans something,” Moseley said. “It’s a lot of looking inside yourself.” Taylor conducted the seminar like a class but asked that students not take notes because the seminar was intended to be primarily an ex- change of ideas. Jessica Rappaport, a Lexington senior and president of Panhellenic Association, also felt that the seminar helped her take a look at herself as a leader. “It gives me a chance to relax,” she said. “I don’t have to take any notes. It gives me time to think about me.” Rappaport said she keeps a file of all the handouts given at the sessions. “It’s going to help me down the road when I leave Western.” Beth Eaton, a Gilbertsville junior, and Mit- chell McKinney, a Drakesboro junior, have taken what they have learned outside the sem- inar and applied it on a more personal basis. Eaton, a member of Inter-Hall Council, said, “I was never very good at working with groups and voicing my opinions,” she said. “It has taught me a lot as far as strategies to use when working with groups. It has taught me how to have a winning organization.” McKinney is a president of Associated Student Government and student represen- tative to the Board of Regents. “We keep a narrow view concerning leadership. We learn things (in the seminar) we can apply to everyday life,” McKinney said. As for the future of the seminar, Taylor said he would like to continue the seminar and hopes the program can become an accredited course. “I have been so pleased that they have attended this just as they would an accredited course.” Daniel Rodriquez, a Venezuela senior, agreed that the seminar was useful enough to be offered at least once a year. “I think it’s fantas- tic. It gives us the opportunity to interact with students from other organizations to talk about difficulties and come out with common sol- utions...and at the same time, we are having fun,” Rodriguez said. “It’s formal, but it’s a friendship-kind of seminar.” At a November banquet students were rec- ognized for their participation in the seminar, but Taylor hoped the students would recognize something about themselves. Taylor said he hopes the participants will “recognize their behaviors that influence others. That’s what leadership is. Most people in the class are good leaders. It helps them to realize what they are already doing. “One thing I would like to see,” Taylor said, “is for this group to take on a problem within the student body,” and through their respective groups, “address the challenge. 7 Daniel Rodriquez “ts for- mal, but it’s a friendship-kind of seminar.” IN BLIND SURUISIE, Tim Harper, a Cave City junior, lets Kurt Steier, a Louisville senior, guide him across campus.

The 1600 people attending the included teers—many Western students. Balloons, event olympians and volun- achievement ribbons and hugs were abundant at the event held to offer competitive athletic events for the mentally retarded. As buddies to the olympians, many Western students found a special satisfaction in helping others. “When I got here my girl grabbed my hand, like she expected someone to be her buddy,” Mel Cornell, director of East Hall, said. “I think that’s neat.” Olympians were treated to opening cer- emonies complete with a parade of athletes and a torch-lighting ceremony.

Johnson and other Hilltopper athletes lead warm-up activities while Mason officially de- clared the commencement of the games. “This is my second year to do the warmups,” Johnson, a Morganfield graduate, said. “None can enjoy anything more than seeing kids en- joying something like this. This is a day just for kids,” he said. Jeff Carver, a Fountain Run senior, noticed the unusual number of smiles. “There’s just a happy spirit here. One olympian, even when singing the national anthem was hugging everyone,” he said. After the official opening ceremonies the events for the olympians came in a wide variety. The usual competitive events were scheduled like high jumps, 50m and 100m dashes, 400m relays and high jumps. Yet, when the youths weren't competing in their events they could attend special clinics. The clinics ranged from face painting to storytelling to spin art. “Last year I was a buddy but this year I wanted to do more,” Julie Perkins, a Bowling Green sophomore, said. As chairman of the buddy committe, Perkins helped pair olym- Meeting the challenge pians with buddies. “Once you've been a buddy you'll do it from now on, wherever you are,” she said. One example of the universality of Special Olympics was Inglewood, Ca., sophomore Chuck Kimbell. “I did it before at UCLA. It’s the same atmosphere, the same caring,” he said. Special Olympics also offered career prep- aration for some students. Recreation major Johnny Harrison, a Bowling Green senior,'was awards co-chairmen. “It’s given me good plan- ning skill, good PR skills,” he said. Most committee chairman, even down to the sign committee, were recreation majors and most were guided to the position by Western faculty member, Jo Verner, “Miss V.” “Miss V is the Area Co-Ordinator and my adviser, so I help,” Harrison said. The short, white-haired woman who ran the olympics has given many the inspiration to help with the event. “The olympics give mentally retarded a chance to take part in events that they normally wouldn’t be given the chance to. They get the feelings of competitiveness,” she said. And while the olympians got feelings of —continued on page 248 _ 247 Special Olympics 248 Special Olympics - jee! ae “ 4 ae ee ee a5 AN UMBRELLA gives some relief from the 90-degree heat to Margie Jones from Greensboro.

We look forward to it every year,” parent Robbie Harlin of Tomp- kinsville said. Her son Scott agreed as he grabbed for the hand of Horse Cave senior Pam Jeter. “I know Pam’s given up a lot. She’s been the sweetest thing,” Harlin said of her son’s buddy. Even though Franklin brought their own buddies, parent Kay Howell noticed how Western students had helped. “A lot of the buddies look like football players. They were cheering them on at the track and field event. It was just great,” she said. One olympian described how her buddy, Sherry Rickman, a Gallatin, Tenn. senior, helped her. “When I felt bad, she patted me on the back and told me it would be all right,” she said. After a long day of events and clinics, the last ribbon was given out and olympians again proved a unique bravery of winning against physical and social handicaps. And, the fol- lowing Monday, the volunteers met to begin preparations of next year’s olympics—carrying on the committment of giving an opportunity to all. To the many volunteers from Western’s faculty and students, self-satisfaction was the only reward needed. As Verner said, “To see my | olympians cross the finish line is the only re- ward I need.” “We've just been having fun,” Stacey Graddy, an olympian from Monroe County, said. “Let’s go,” his cousin said, pulling on his shirt. And off they headed to the bubble- blowing clinic. Stacey's buddy was Western football player Jay Knox, a Fairburn, Ga. freshman. “The best part of the day was when my dude came in second place,” Knox said. “I thought he was competing out of his league and then, even though his stomach was hurting, he finished second. Then he shook my hand and said ‘Thanks for the help’,” Knox said. “He told me he wanted me to be his buddy next year. He’s just a nice kid,” Knox added. Knox wasn’t the only football player. In fact over 90 percent of the team had turned out to help as buddies. “The whole team is doing it as a community service and to show that we can get out and do things,” Jeff Cesarone, a Gen- eva, Ill. sophomore, said. “It makes you realize what a lucky person you are. We take it for granted that it’s so easy,” he said. Beside the football team, greek groups, ser- vice organizations and other civic-minded Western students came out in full force to serve as buddies and committee chairmen. Phi Mu sorority even sponsored a victory dance after the olympics for all participants. Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha won the award for most greek participants.

I know that’s been said before, but J thought being greek would be a good experience,” the slender, auburn-haired Ramsey said. “My sister was a Chi O from 1980 to 1984.

I knew I wanted to be a Chi O pretty much from when rush started,” Ramsey said. Formal sorority rush was a five-day period where women attended parties sponsored by seven sororities. Over 240 women competed for invitations to join the various groups. Three sets of parties were scheduled in which the rushees first attended all seven groups, then five, and then narrowed their decision to three. “IT would do it all the same way again. Pledging Chi O was a good decision, but pledging period was part of what helped me adjust to col- lege and got me out of my room,” Ramscy said. Her pledge class par- ticipated in such events as Pledge Olympics, Kappa Delta Washboard and Sigma Nu Powderpuff Football. “I knew people in other sororities before I came here. That made my decision a little bit hard, but ina way I felt I already fit into Chi O,” Ramsey said. Chi Omega was the largest sorority Bid hello to sisterhood to the flag, to the creed, to the sorority way of life with 172 chapters across the nation. Ramsey said she knew it sounded trite, but she felt, “Until you go greek, you never understand how nice it is to have something in common with other people from the very start of a conversation. That made me more comfortable meeting people,” Ram- sey said. Pledging a sorority involved pledge tests, weekly meetings, pledge pranks as well as daily study hours and phil- anthropic activities. “I had a pre- conceived notion of how pledging would be, mostly from my sister. It was sort of an up-in-the-air feeling like the whole pledging thing was all fun. It was a lot more serious than | ever expected,” Ramsey said. “We learned a lot about the history of Chi O. At first, I wondered why, but then I realized that we were carrying on a tradition and it would be empty of we didn’t know how it be- gan,” Ramsey said. As a freshman, Ramsey said that pledgeship gave her first semester some structure. “I wouldn't have been as grade-conscious and as conscious of how I acted in public. I thought twice about what I did because I was repre- senting Chi O on campus,” Ramsey said. KELLY JO Worthington, a Bowling Green senior, and Ramsey hug each other.

Each of us had regular study hours set up with an active each week. Study buddies and test files contributed to the academic encouragement the actives gave us,” Ramsey said.

The disc jockeys, facing the three | turntables and album-filled milk crates, stood atop a platform looking down at the hand-clapping crowd. A man on the platform grabbed the microphone and yelled, “You are partying with the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Eta Rho Chapter, Western Ken- tucky University. Everybody screeeam!” The brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha “spin” music for about 10 to 15 parties and events every semester. President Charles Ellis, a senior broadcasting and speech communications major from Indi- anapolis, said that although dee-jaying parties made for profitable income, it also provided good exposure. “Money is important. Let’s be realistic,” Ellis said. “However, we also play for non-profit events like tailgating parties and the Special Olympics which provide exposure as well as fun.” Before all the fun started, the Alphas prepared for about a week, advertising for the party with posters and flyers, and sometimes selling tickets. A week’s worth of preparation, however, was not always a guarantee that the party would be successful. “People’s moods and attitudes when they arrive decide the outcome of the whole night,” Ellis said. “No matter how great the music is, sometimes a dead crowd can cause a party to bomb.” Fraternity member Gerald Harrison was Alpha Phi Alpha’s man on the microphone, responsible for motivating the partiers. “I might get on the mike and say something like ‘A Phi A is the number- one fraternity,’ and all the other frats get rowdy and start making noise,” Har- rison, a senior broadcasting major from New Albany, Ind., said. Two or three turntables permit the disc jockeys to “mix” the records, pro- viding nonstop music. “One song comes in on the same beat as another, and you can hear them simultaneously,” Harrison said. “You've got to keep the people on ha to West Hall Cellar. the floor.” Although spinning records is almost recreation for the Alphas, dee-jaying is the fraternity’s primary source of income. There are risks involved with de- pending on parties for most of the organ- ization’s money. “There is always a possibility of going in the hole,” Ellis said. “People like to go home a lot.” With more people going home on the weekends, the Alphas run the risk of low attendance at one of their parties. But proceeds from the parties do not always go directly to the Alphas. The fraternity has donated profits to churches, the United Negro Fund and USA for Africa. The lights suddenly appeared sig- naling the party was over as the crowd on the floor slowly dwindled. A few life-of- the-party exceptions remained as the music faded. People wiped their brows and caught their breaths. “Hope you enjoyed jamming with the brothers of A Phi A,” said the man on the microphone. “See you next time. 4 —BY KIM CAMERON —PHOTOS BY SAM UPSHAW, JR. “NO STOPPING on the dance floor” is the policy of A Phi A when they dee-jay a dance.

It was a night of singing, dancing, laughing and just plain acting silly. It was the 20th anniversary of Chi Omega’s Annual November Nonsense. In honor of the anniversary, the theme for the evening was “Get Back to the Fu- ture.” Chi O has sponsored this tomfoolery since 1965 in order to raise money for different organizations. Chi O president Suzie Wilkins, a Paducah senior, said all proceeds from this year’s show went to Hospice, an agency of the United Way. Chi O Terri Rice, a Newburgh, Ind., senior, and coordinator of “Nonsense” said the sorority raised about $800 for Hospice. The annual event brings together sororities, fraternities, and for the first time this year, any campus organization. “We intitially went around to every or- November Nonsense ganization” to promote interest in the show, Wilkins said. The only non-greek participant was Associated Student Government. Seven groups performed a four-to-six minute skit based on the “Back to the Future” theme. Wilkins said this year’s competition was more fun and less structured. “We made it a general theme because it’s just for fun,” Wilkins said. Wilkins said one of the purposes of Chi O is social and civic service. “This is for philanthropy and we want to raise as much money for philanthropy as we can.” Chi O did not compete but the mem- bers opened the show with a remake of “Dancing in the Streets” by Mick Jagger and David Bowie. The Chi O pledges entertained the audience during inter- mission with more singing and dancing. Bart White, professor in the Com- munication and Theater Department, was emcee for the show. “I know why I was a waiter in the Chi O House at Oregon State,” White said after the Chi Os performed. Phi Mu sorority came out the big winner of the evening, placing first in the sorority division and being named overall winner. Their win ended the reign of Kappa Delta sorority, whose ladies have won the last six out of seven years. Kappa Delta took second-place honors. The sisters of Phi Mu, donning’ green garbage bags, green tights and frog feet, charmed the crowd with their own ren- dition of frog songs, titled “The Chilled Frog.” Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the fra- ternity division by dancing and singing their way into the audience’s hearts in ballerina tutus to a “Gone Fishin’” theme. The men in tutus portrayed fish swimming in Greek Lake at Chi O Point. ASG took first-place honors in the organization division. Their skit focused on the antics of an orange-faced, loud- mouth, misplaced “oompah” who was projected from 1965, as a star football player for Western, to 1985, as a poten- tial candidate for Western’s presidency. Alpha Omicron Pi, which placed third in the sorority division, humanized the statue of Henry Hardin Cherry in their version of “Leave it to Henry.” Pee Wee Herman also made a special appearance for the sorority.

As the competition drew to a close, a round of applause and cheers filled Van Meter Auditorium as the participants awaited the results of the evening. The rock band Multiple Choice enter- tained the audience while the judges made their final decision. Rice said she was “pretty disap- pointed” with the lack of participation from the groups. She said she had hoped to get more groups involved, especially non-greek groups. “I guess it was a bad time of the year,” she said. This year, marking the 20th an- niversary, might be the last year. “If we don’t feel we can get more participation, we might try something else,” Rice said. However, Rice said she thought it was a good show and was pleased with the attendance. “It (the show) was for a worthwhile cause.” A) —REBECCA BARNHART —PHOTOS BY GREG LOVETT IT Is spring break for Allyson Rowles, a Nashville, Tenn, senior, as she per- forms with her Kap- pa Delta sister, dur- ing November Non- sense.

Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Gamma Rho stressed, of course, academics and cam- pus involvement, but their methods were as varied as their members. “The thing that singles us out ts agriculture,” John Lasbrook, a Philpot junior, said of Alpha Gamma Rho. “Although all our majors aren't agriculture, it still ties us all together.” Lashbrook, the president of the 40-member group, said that getting ad- justed to their newly-remodeled house and to having higher membership were two things the AGRs accomplished last yCar. 258 Greeks AGRs, A Phi As and Delts add vari “We've had a major attitude change. There's more of a positive attitude about everything,” he said. “We feel a lot bet- ter about campus, school and the fra- ternity.” The AGRs raised American Cancer Society by asking for money for the donations door-to-door. “We just got out there and pounded the pavement,” he said, “We also made money on our haunted house with the Lambda Chis,” Lashbrook said. “We gave the money to one of the brothers in the hospital. He’s still in a coma.” A member of the fraternity was in a car accident last year. Contests, awards and a scholarship were some of the ways AGRs stressed academics. Delta Tau Delta used the same methods, with impressive results. “We received academic awards for first place in active pledge combined GPAs in spring 1985, fall 1985 and for the year,” Ricky Fitzgerald, a Utica junior and president, said, “We've also received national awards for community service and treasurer excellence. We've been recognized as one of the top-20 Delt chapters in the nation,’ Fitzgerald said. The Delts set goal GPAs for each se- mester and began a study-buddy pro- gram. “Each person challenges someone else to make a goal GPA to help each other,” he said. The chapter also had study hours for brothers with a 2.2 GPA or below.

We're a lot younger fraternity,” he said. The Delts also began building trust among their non-greek neighbors. “We get calls from neighbors to move fur- niture or refrigerators. That’s a treat for us because it shows they're accepting us,” Fitzgerald said. Delta Tau Delta pledges also had an active role in chapter affairs. “They as- sume a role in the chapter by picking a committee they want to work with,” he said. “They also do a community service project.” The entire chapter jointly sponsored a Rockathon with Alpha Omicron Pi and Alpha .Phi Alpha. The proceeds went to the Arthritis Foundation. “We also sponsor a Mother March which is a phonothon-type thing, for the March of Dimes,” he said. Alpha Phi Alpha, besides sponsoring the Rockathon, had many other ac- tivities. “We attempt to be more than a social group,” President Charles Ellis, an Indianapolis senior, said. “Even though we have a social side, we are a serious group, too,” he said. “We're about to start Project Alpha. We'll talk to high school students about dangers of being sexually active and any other problems they might have,” Ellis said. The group also hosted picnics for underpriviledged children. The group’s academic program had study hours for pledges and collegiates. “We use peer pressure to check up on grades. If you pool your resources you can help others who are weak in a class,” he said. Alpha Phi Alpha pledges added to the “fun side” of the fraternity. “That’s good because you need a balance. They've been the visible Alphas. The older brothers, like me, do the behind-the-scene work,” he said. Like most greek groups, Alpha Phi Alpha members were active on campus. “We have members in United Black Greeks and Amazing Tones of Joy, a gospel group,” Ellis said. From Alpha Gamma Rho to Delta Tau Delta to Alpha Phi Alpha, greeks were visible on campus. “We just do a lot of stuff with Western,” Fitzgerald said. | —BYSUSANSIOCKTON FRONT ROW: William Eckman, Jarnes Co- omer, Timmy Quiggins, Shawn McPherson, John Lashbrook.

Zo Greeks 260 Greeks n an effort to shake off the rumors of being all fun and games, a num- ber of greek organizations strived for academic excellence, campus and community involvement and higher standards in every facet of greek life. Probably the greatest efforts of the Kappa Alpha fraternity were spent in raising the GPAs of its members, KA President Steve Daniels, a Bowling Green senior, said. “We've really cracked down on our pledges to make the grade, and it’s paid off for us,” he said. SSE DCRR STS STO KAs had had a low GPA overall among its pledges in the past. This year, the fraternity went from “dead last” to first place in overall GPAs among fraternities, Daniels said. The KAs also were proud of the gen- eral behavior and manners of its mem- bers. “I think we are very courteous,” he said. “We act according to our rich Southern heritage. Chivalry is in our code of ethics, and it shows. We've always done that.” Kappa Alpha’s philanthropy was the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, and Not just fun and games as Kappa Sigs and KAs try to better their images. through several projects including the Labor Day Telethon and Bowl-a-thon, the brothers raised nearly $2000 this year. They were active in other projects as well. The KAs joined Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity to hang the Christmas lights at Fountain Square Park after Thanks- giving, and hosted an annual picnic for the Potter Childrens’ Home. The fraternity raised some eyebrows this year by pledging a black man, Hop- kinsville junior Marvin Moore. What may have been deemed an accomplish- ment by others was “not that big a deal,” Daniels said. A CHAINSAW encounter seems inevitable at a Halloween haunted house. The house was a joint project of AGR and Lambda Chi. —Drew Tarter “It's never been our policy to exclude blacks. To everyone else, it seems like a big deal, but to us, he’s just like any other pledge,” he said. All 19 pledges participated in the fra- ternity’s social activities and campus and community functions as well. Among their various social functions was “Old _ South” week. The brothers played host to several mixers, held a “Sharecropper’s Ball” for all greeks, and ended the week with a golf tournament at Ken Lake State Park and a banquet at which the brothers were attired in Confederate uniforms. Kappa Sigma fraternity also was dedi- cated to academics and taking part in campus, community and greek ac- tivities, according to president James Garner, a Bowling Green senior. Kappa Sigma’s pledges were ranked second in overall fraternity GPAs. Be- sides leading the ranks academically, the brothers also fared well in campus intra- mural sports, he said. “We're involved in almost all intra- murals, football, volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball,” he said, “and we made it to the playoffs in football, placed third in volleyball, and have had the tennis champ for the last three years.” The brothers were dedicated to help- ing their major philanthropy, the Dia- betes Foundation, and contributed money to the organization by par- ticipating in the Excercise-a-thon. Kap- pa Sigmas also aided other programs in- cluding Camp Happy Days, a camp at Western for the handicapped. As with all greek organizations, Kap- pa Sigmas also had a full schedule of social engagements. Besides their spring formal and a number of mixers with other greeks, the members held their annual “Calendar Girl” contest, and a Coors Volleyball Tournament. Being in a fraternity, as the Kappa Sigmas and Kappa Alphas attempted to project, was not an endless keg party. The brothers were not only active as a social organization, but active as well in campus and community involvement, their efforts to raise GPAs and their at- tempts to strive for high standards in every aspect of greek life.

Ree f “fraternity” came from the Latin word meaning “brother,” then Lambda Chi Alpha strived to make all of their newcomers feel like they were already part of the growing Lambda Chi family. This school year Lambda Chi had 70 actives, 15 pledges in the fall and five in the spring. But according to Lambda Chi presi- dent Cliff Allen, a Bardstown senior, they do n ot have pledges. “We don’t have pledges, we have asso- ciates,” Allen said. “They have voting privileges and can come to all of the fraternity functions. We try to make them feel like they are one of us.” With the participation of both their associates and actives, Lambda Chi col- lected over $4,000 in can goods and cash when they kidnapped Barbara Dubezak, the co-anchor of WBKO, and Big Red.

They also raised their overall GPA from a 2.3 to a 2.5. This raise in grades was attributed to the fraternity’s efforts to stress academics by implementing in- centive programs and study sessions, Al- len said. The Lambda Chis have been active in supporting both campus and community activities. On campus, Lambda Chi participated in IFC, Phonothon, and dry rush. They also had members in all of the greek honor societies. Their major social activities were a special Homecoming party for alummi, a Poker Party with AGR and a Haunted House. According to Phi Delta Theta house manager Jeff Carver, the Phi Delts are incorporating a new form of pledging to compliment their new pledges. “Our pledge class has enhanced our fraternity,” the Tracey senior said. “But we try to use an unconventional method of pledging. Starting with our spring pledge class, we will be rushing all se- mester long. We will install those that are interested in the fraternity and they will become pledges next fall. This way, other guys interested in our fraternity can see what pledging ts like.” Along with their new pledging pro- gram, the Phi Delts plan to create a social activity that will be associated with the fraterntiy. “We are going to sponsor a Dating Game for charity,” Carver said. “We plan to make this as big for us as the Chi Os made November Nonsense.” Although their number is relatively small, Carver said that their major ac- complishment was gaining higher visi- bility in the greek community. “The change has been more in TWO MICE receive pre-race encouragement from John Cornelius, a Bowling Green alumnus.

Now we look for leadership qualities and all of that, too. But we also look at the person himself. And we give him a bid because of who he is as a person, not because of who his dad is or based on income.” The Phi Delts had 23 actives and five fall pledges. Because of the new pledging program, the number of spring pledges has not been determined. ——BY MARCIA ROBERTSON UES OSES EOC OOOO LSE LOTS LOOSE AS CSTE TE TE cae OE eA SRNR ANSE NC ATOR TES OST INT SRSA NC OSS OCS EDR ORE TOTES REAR BEHIND THE Lamda Chi house, observers of mouse races mingle.

If that were true, the brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon found the chains of their fraternity became stronger last fall | and spring. ees Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities had a succesful year with the help of active pledge classes. For the Pikes, the growth of their | chapter due to the pledge class was their major accomplishment. Treasurer Lance Koenig, a Bowling Green senior, said that the chapter size had doubled from 25 to 50 members in the past year. “It’s a Palsy. Koenig trengthening the was the goal of SAEs and Pikes.

The fraternity concentrated on efforts to strengthen their chapter and “fix up” their house. However, they did have Pikes’ Peak Week, a week of fund raisers for Cerebral said,“We just broke EUROS even SITIO and didn’t have any money to donate but hope to improve on it next year.” As an incentive to strive for better grades, the fraternity had a contest. A certain GPA was designated as a cutoff point and anyone above that point was allowed to eat steak while anyone below that point had to eat beans and franks, Koenig said. The fraternity also stressed campus involvement.

Prior to the game, the pledges received anonymous gifts. As for the rest of their time, “We just do normal greek activities,” Koenig said. The SAEs also had a large pledge class this year. President Tommy Tinsley, a Central City senior, said, “We had 23 pledges in the fall, and that’s the second-largest in our 20-year history on campus.” They were also proud that so many people pledged during dry rush, Tinsley said. “We don’t have to have kegs to rush people.” This year the makeup of the SAEs was also different from the past because more than half the members were freshmen and sophomores. Last year there were more upperclassmen, Tinsley said. Tinsley said that no one thing set the SAEs apart from the other fraternities on campus. “We are consistently good at everything,” he said. The SAEs’ major philanthropic project this year was the Balloon-A-Thon in which they sold balloons and made over $5,000 for muscular dystrophy. They also helped the community throughout the semester by donating their time to church groups and clubs and helping with the Wendy’s LOK, Tinsley said. The SAEs continued to stress a ca- demics.

The group usually had succesful mix- ets, Tinsley said. They also had several dances including a 20th Anninversary Dance, pledge active and Spring Formal. The Pikes and the SAEs hoped the trend of energetic pledge classes would become a tradition. —BY ROBYN LIBS «scenes somtannname, emma casmsann memes is ni i A 4 i Re me RR HR SP NT SESS PS I eee OB 265 Greeks eS eR Ne A I ‘ PEELE EIEN TN LE RL TE Fraternal lodging Provides an alternative to traditional living un times and a lot of memories were made with the close quarters of greek housing on Western’s campus. Two of 11 social sororities and 11 out of 15 social fraternities had houses, while four other sororities had designated floors in dorms where most of their members lived. The others were dispersed at the residencies of their choice, on and off campus. Alphi Xi Delta was one of the sororities that had a house. It was located at 1405 State St., and they had had it for 15 years. They remodeled three of their rooms in the summer of 1985, with help from their alumnae. Member Sherri Conley said that she liked living there more than anywhere else. “It’s such a homey atmosphere,” Conley said. There were 14 members living in the house that could have held 22. Conley said, “It was just like one big family under the same roof.” Kappa Delta was the other sorority that owned a house. However, Chi Om- ega and Alpha Omicron Pi were hoping to get houses for their members. Chi O members hoped to buy the Cooperative Education Center location and AOPi members were looking into the possi- bility of purchasing the university's guest house. Both were located on Normal Drive. AOPi president Kim Welborn, a Madisonville senior, said they had been hoping for a house for some time, and if everything went as planned, they might have the house before the fall semester of 1986. But, she said, “That is being very optimistic.” While they did not have a house yet, the members of Chi O found their home on the second floor of Gilbert Hall with the members of AOPi living on the third floor and Alpha Delta Pi living on the fourth. The Phi Mu sorority members resided on the sixth floor of McCormack Hall. According to Welborn, living on the AOPi floor had almost as many advan- tages as would living in a house. “One thing that is even better is that 47 mem- bers live on the floor right now, while the guest house will only hold 11,” she said. “There is always a friend around, and it brings you closer to everyone instead of just a few.” Chi O member Marty Hoffelder, Wil- liamsburg junior, agreed that living on the Chi O floor made her feel more a part of the sorority. “You really get to know the little things about everyone, and you are never lonely,” she said. Living in a fraternity house offered a lot of advantages also. Sigma Phi Epsilon president Vince Lewis, a Vandalia, Ohio, junior, said that there was a lot more freedom. There weren’t open house hours or alcohol restrictions “and you can do whatever you want to with your room, as long as it is decent,” he said. Another advantage Lewis saw to living in the Sig Ep house was that it only cost $350 per semester as opposed to $385 for adorm room. Sigma Nu member Bob Bashwiner, a Lake Park, Fla., junior, said that another advantage to living in a fraternity house was that it kept members in touch with what was going on in the fraternity at all times.

The walls were painted purple and red. Even though living with fraternity brothers and sorority sisters may have offered the best years of a greek’s life, there were certain disadvantages, too. Hoffelder lived in McCormack Hall for two years, and she said that the Chi O floor was much noisier and therefore harder to study on. AOPi member Anita Norman said the worst thing about living on the floor was the effect that the constant companions aS aa ga had on her grade point average. “There is ON A WEDNESDAY even- ing the sisters of Kappa Delta gather always someone wanting to talk or do something and it’s too easy not to at the sorority house for a taco party. study,” she said. The party was held last spring. Lewis agreed that the noise at a frat- ernity house could be tremendous and could at times be very “nerve racking.” Most greeks agreed that privacy was rare living under the different condi- tions, but the benefits were far greater than the disadvantages. As Welborn said, “We are best friends and we are family. We live together because_we want to share the short time we have.” —STORY BY JANET HOOVER WHILE AT the KD house, Cheryl Pyles, an Erlanger sopho- —PHOTOSBY ALLENHENSLEY ™ talks on the upstairs phone.

The Sigma Nus tried to mend fences with their neighbors by presenting them with fruitbaskets at Christmas, President Mike Holman, an Elizabethtown junior, said. The Sigma Nus also helped the Bowling Green community by pitching in to decorate Fountain Square at Christmas. At Easter, they helped spon- sor the Bowling Green Big Brothers Easter egg hunt, Holman said. The Sig Eps tried to improve relations with the community by sponsoring the Bowling Green Boys Club Softball Tour- nament in April, President Vince Lewis, a Vandalia, Ohio, junior, said. As for the neighbors surrounding the Sig Ep house, “We hang around with the neighbor kids,” Lewis said. “It’s good PR.” As for the brothers o f Sigma Chi, former President Greg Coker, a Franklin senior, said that his fraternity has enjoyed improved community relations. “We try to work it out with neighbors when we have our parties,” he said. He said mem- bers of the fraternity also raked leaves and mowed lawns for their neighbors. The Sigma Chis and Sigma Nus also contributed funds to organizations out- side the Bowling Green area. The Sigma Nus contributed to Star Wish, “the national program for children who are dying and they (Star Wish) grant a wish,” Holman said. “They've sent kids to Disneyland.” The Sigma Chis contributed to the Wallace Village for Children in Colorado because of the center's connection with the late John Wayne, who was also a Sigma Chi, Coker said. “It’s (Wallace Village) a rehabilitation center for kids with mild brain damage to ROSE RSE ON ROMAN BOE TEM eighbors was an attempted goal. help put them back on the streets,” Cok- er said. As social fraternities, the three groups also participated in activities of their own, while still taking an active part in other aspects of university life. Holman said that the Sigma Nus were “becoming more diversified with more people going into different aspects of the university.” Sigma Nus, Holman said, were involved in “every aspect of the university, one way or another.” Mem- bers of the fraternity were in IFC, foot- ball, intramurals and student government. “We do try to participate in all activities that we can,” Holman said. “As a rule, we make a genuine effort to be involved.” As a group, the Sigma Nus held their annual events of the Powderpuff Football Tournament, pledge active, spring for- mal and homecoming dance. But Hol- man said the group liked to concentrate on their various, smaller parties. “We ES AEE IEE IE MEAIB ATTAINS ASSEN TS HPI SA ARE IRON ERASER eR ATR OWE RASCH ha hn e-em pe erm SEE ELSE at bE LEEDS GETTER NDE IESE NEG BERT EWE ELLE SE LIEELEL ELE LEER THE LATEST trend ‘in robes is modeled by a group of Sig Eps.

Also the brothers of Sigma Nu sought to improve the group academically through members being “encouraged to study more,” Holman said. “Generally, our average was down,” he said, “but we maintain a sound average.” The Sigma Nus had three study hours a week and encouraged the brothers to “help each other out as much as pos- sible,” Holman said. The Sig Eps stressed academics by holding study hours, usually three to four a week, for “those on academic probation and those having trouble,” Lewis said. As for the Sigma Chis, members were required to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA. They also enforced study hours. “We don’t want to be looked upon as a group that parties all the time,” Coker said. Both the spokesmen for the Sigma Nus and the Sigma Chis said they had active pledge classes. The Sigma Nus hosted a pledge class of 19, 14 for the fall and five for the spring. “They've come in and taken over key leadership roles,” Holman said. “We had high expectations and they lived up to them.” The Sigma Chi pledge class consisted of 25-30 members for the fall and 10 for the spring, Coker said. In the spring, the pledges planned to pave the backyard of the Sigma Chi house. By the pledges doing the work, the Sigma Chis saved a lot of money, Coker said. As for the Sig Eps, Lewis said that the 10 pledges for the year hadn't “been real involved,” but had plans for a flag pole for the yard of the house. Above all, all three fraternities stressed their individuality. “We're a melting pot of people. All sorts of people are Sig Eps. We're 37 different people,” Lewis said. Coker described the 50-member chap- ter of the Sigma Chis as “diversified...we have all kinds—pretty boys, in- tellectuals, big athletes. There is no way you can tell a Sigma Chi just by looking at him.” . Holman said that the Sigma Nus could maintain individuality while still being members of a group. “We have a 54-man chapter. We come together as a whole. In that whole, each person is an individual. It makes us stronger.” —BY TERRI PULLEN, Na CNL IS TS SRT SA SS COE RELL RS RMI TL SON a NONE Tar OC NY TRE TS DUN ORD TERT RRO FRONE ROW: Steven Cornwell, Christopher Stewart, Darian Burnam, David Newman, Jon LeTendre, Jeffrey Johnson, Greg Strange SECOND ROW: Donald Warden, Marcus Eakins, David Schmidt.

One such greek organization was Sigma Phi Epsilon. For the last three years the organization had a field day with the Boys Club located on West 11th Street in Bowling Green. The Sig Eps raised money for the club by hosting a softball tournament in which the other campus greeks competed. The money raised was given to the Boys Club and was invested toward new equipment. “It helps to benefit the Boys Club,” Vince Lewis, a Dayton, Ohio senior and fraternity president, said. “We give a fairly decent contribution of money and time.” Last year the softball tournament, which lasted three days, accumulated $222 which was presented to the Boys Club on the field day. The field day was special for both the boys and the fraternity members. Ac the event, the two groups of boys competed in various activities like basketball, flag football and wrestling. After the games, a meal with a menu of items such as hot dogs, chips, and soft drinks was pro- for the local Boy vided. The dinner was also paid for with the funds that were raised. “It’s good interaction between boys and college students,” Frank Ragland, the club’s assistant director, said. “The kids look forward to it every year.” Ragland said that most of the boys at the Boys Club came from single-parent homes; therefore, the college students are looked to as brother figures. Brian Greschel, a Louisville senior and a parks and recreation major, was work- ing on his internship at the Boys Club. “This kind of activity encourages them (the boys) to go to college,” Greschel said. The fraternity’s purpose at the Boys Club was to get the kids off of the streets and get them involved in things of other interest. “If they can get one over on you, then they will,” Greschel said. “But they really are good kids. All they want is a little attention, and activities like this show them that someone cares about them.” The field day gave the boys at the club a chance to compete against someone other then themselves. It also taught them game fundamentals so that they could play the games the right way. The field day had its benefits for the s Club brought smiles to many fraternity members as well. “As an or- ganization, we care about the community,” Lewis said. “This helps to take away the party image and establish a relationship with the community that we care.” : Bill Gornet, a sophomore from Louis- ville who was pledging the fraternity at the time, was unaware of the efforts that greeks make toward community in- volvement. “I like it,” he said, “It shows responsibility.” The fraternity members were rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing that they were helping somebody. “I like to share my knowledge of youth with them because I know how tough it can be to grow up,” Kevin Radford, an Owensboro sophomore, said. “If I can keep a smile on their face and give them something of mine to help them, then it’s all worth it.” Radford was a physical education major who worked with young people either through student teaching or working for community education. “One of the greatest things is seeing the kids’ expression after they've accomplished something. Knowing that you've given the time and effort makes you feel good.” —BY STEVE FERRY —PHOTOS BY ALLEN HENSLEY DURING A BASKETBALL game, Colum- SIG EP BROTHER Tim Bricker helps eight- ' bia freshman Tim Bricker talks to Danny Scott.

The AZDs also did other projects that helped the community such as their work with the Big Brother and Big Sister pro- gram, the Wendy’s 1OK run, and help- ing with the decorating of Bowling Green's Fountain Square. Work didn’t take all of the AZDs’ time, though. They sponsored social ac- tivities such as Parent’s Day, dances, pledge active parties, mixers, and a com- bined rush party with the Kappa Alphas. Through the help of a “strict study program,” the AZDs won awards for best-overall GPA and best pledge GPA, Bell said. Also concerned with their grades, the AKAs set up workshops that got the members together to tutor each other. Providing service was a large part of the Alpha Kappa Alphas’ agenda for the year. The AKAs made nursing home visits, raised money for muscular dys- trophy, helped with the Special Olym- pics and Bowling Green Girls’ Club, and gave to a needy family at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The AKAs also were concerned with “the image we portray,” President Pam Dixon, a Louisville junior, said. She said that they try to be “lady-like and con- siderate.” The biggest event that the AKAs had was their annual Miss Black Western Pageant that, Dixon said, they try to make a success each year. The Alpha Delta Pi sorority promoted many social events including a spring formal, mixers with different fraternities and intramural sports. “We have the strongest intramural program,’ ADPi President Lee Murray, a Bowling Green junior, said. They spon- sored the ADPi football classic. Murray credits some of the sorority’s success to the “wonderful” fall pledge class of 32 people. “They have enthusi- asm that some of the people lose by their senior year,” he said. “We're a sisterhood who try to be close,” Murray added. The ADPis raised money for their philanthropy—the Ronald McDonald House, went door to door to raise money for the Wallace Village for Children, and assisted with Western's Phonothon. : —BY FRED WHITE FRONT ROW: Nan Wood, Paula Drake, Kimberly Gates, Beverly Zeigler, Darla Wingfield, Suann Vincent, Paige Hudson.

Saas ca SER REET TE RR ET CoS SE SIO PE Ee OP TEI here were two similarities between Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Sigma Theta. One, they were both sororities. Two, they both consider themselves more heterogenous be- cause of the addition of their new- est members. Alpha Omicron Pi, or AOPi, was the second-largest sorority on campus. One of the things which made AOPi special was the fact that they were not carbon copies, Kim Welborn, a Mad- isonville senior and AOPi president, said. “T think that most sororities are pretty much the same,” Welborn said. “But what makes us different is that we stress individuality. We try to stress getting involved outside of the sorority.” AOPi had 79 active members, 32 pledges in the fall and no pledges in the spring this year. But with the help of its members and pledges, AOPi won second place in the Kappa Delta Washboard, third place in Chi Omega’s November Nonsense, second place and the spirit award in Sigma Nu’s Powder Puff and second place and the spirit award in Sigma Chi’s Derby. However, according to Welborn, AOPi placed an emphasis on academics. “We try to help (stress academics) by having study hours. We try by sched- uling the study time around the time they give to AOP1.” AOPi's social activities revolved around the campus and the community.

The AOPis were in the finals. {sree Lovett 274 Greeks On the campus, they had a hayride, a pledge active dance, an initiation dance, and a spring formal. In the community, they held a rock-a-thon for their phil- anthropy, the Arthritis Foundation. AOPi also helped with the Girl Scouts’ “Sleep In” at Greenwood Mall and they visited Potter Home and Panorama. Another sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, was the second-largest black sorority on the campus. However, Delta president Carla Pink- ston, an Austin, Texas, senior, said’ that the major difference between Delta Sigma Theta and other sororities on cam- pus was the fact that Delta was not a social sorority. “We are a public service sorority, not social,” Pinkston said. “We try to help improve the community.” The Deltas had 15 actives and four fall pledges this year. But according to Pinkston, they had increased their mem- bership. Delta put a great deal of stress on grades, Pinkston said. Before a woman can “go on line,” or begin her pledge period, she must be at least a second- semester freshman with a 2.5 GPA. The pledges were then required to attend the library three hours a day, Sunday through Thursday. The Deltas’ major social activities were Greek Week, Delta Week, the Greek Luau, a fashion show, the Homecoming Step Show, and “a party or two at the Cellar,” Pinkston said. Although the Deltas did not have a major philanthropy, they contributed to the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation. They also went Christmas caroling at the area nursing homes, had a can goods drive during Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, helped with Special Olympics and the Wendy’s 10K Run, participated in Walk-A-Thon for the March of Dimes, and set up a table in DUC for signatures to stop apartheid in South Africa. —BY MARCIA ROBERTSON soar sten cee ttm cmeoncee ver ren weme De SLE TE ses remenesraets pc atecnete oot ra com en cette sete teh 2 orn am er ee ee FRONT ROW: Tami Meredith, Tracey Travis, Shannon Summers.

The Chi Omegas, who have been active on campus for 20 years, had no particular philanthropy to donate their time and efforts to, Chi O President Tara Wassom,'a Ft. Campbell senior, said. “We choose what we feel is the most needy organization, at that time,” Wassom said. “We work with the Am- erican Heart Association helping them solicit donations.” Last year, the Chi Os hosted their annual song and dance competition, November Nonsense. The contest, held in Van Meter Auditorium, was open to all campus organizations for a $20 entry fee. Over 300 people attended the show, each paying $2 for admission. Terri Rice, a Newburgh, Ind., senior and Chi O member, said that the event netted $800 which was donated to hospice through the United Way. “This is definitely our Donation devotion made KDs and Chi Os w biggest money-making project,” she said. Also last fall, the sisters of Chi Omega sponsored a Halloween party for the chil- dren at the Potter Home. The Chi Os stressed community involvement by working with the Capital Arts and by doing volunteer work as requested by the leaders in the Bowling Green com- munity, according to Wassom. The Chi Os were also active across the campus. According to Wassom, they participated in KD Washboard, Sigma Nu Powder Puff Football, Pikes Peak Week, Greek Week and other activities sponsored by greeks. “We also have sev- eral dances during the year and have mixers with other greek groups,” Wassom said. Chi O members were also involved in student government, Spirit Masters, and cheerleading. To be able to accomplish all of their community and campus activities, the organization needed to be dedicated and well-constructed. “We feel that we are 74 individuals with the common goal of ork for their philanthropies. a a aa in ee eh a Al ke i A ls MS MA a ke a a a a alc | college graduation,” Wassom said. “We work together through strong friend- ships to help each other achieve this goal and be the best each can be.” The 21-member pledge class last year helped to bond the members of the sorority even closer. “They inject new ideas. Enthusiasm and new friendships are made,” Wassom said. Academic excellece was stressed as part of the pledge program and so was com- munity involvement. “We continue these expectations throughout membership,” she said. The sisters of Kappa Delta sorority concentrated their philanthropic efforts on certain groups. “All of our phil- anthropic proceeds goes to the benefit of children,” Susan Stockton, a Mor- ganfield junior and sorority president, said. ; Kappa Delta Washboard, the organ- ization’s largest fundraiser, accumulated over $1000. “All the proceeds stayed in Bowling Green to benefit the Child Pro- tection Agency,” Stockton said. The GEREN es, DURING PLEDGE Olympics, Henderson jun- ior Penny Box hoists the Kappa Delta flag into the air. The olympics was sponsored by IFC and Panhellenic. A) KD’s nationally sponsored Shamrock Project, where balloons were given in exchange for donations and door-to-door collections were made, raised $250 for the National Committee for the Pre- _ vention of Child Abuse. They also had a Halloween and a Christmas party with the Wee-Care daycare center. Along with community involvement, the KDs also participated in many cam- pus activities. The KDs took part in Greek Week, Powder Puff Football, Spring Sing and other greek-related events. Some of the KD members were part of campus organizations such as Spirit Masters, cheerleaders, Spirit Dan- cers and several honor societies. “We try to make Kappa Delta known on campus as much more than a social organ- ization,” Stockton said. However, the KDs did have a social side. “Dances are a time for us to forget about the hubbub of studying and cam- pus activities,” Stockton said. The KDs had several contests to pro- mote academics, one of which was the Smart Cookie Awards given to those who “put that extra effort into studying,” she said. Reach for the Stars was a com- petition where awards were given for above-average test scores. “It’s a way of measuring success through positive re- inforcement,” Stockton said. Awards were also given for highest pledge and highest active GPA and most-improved GPA. These awards were given on Par- ents Day. “We wanted to show parents that sororities are academically minded,” Stockton said. Also, the pledge class planned a winter formal which was held in Cave City. They had 25 pledges in the fall and seven in the spring. The KD pledges were not required to raise money, but study hours were enforced. “The pledges always give a boost with their enthusiasm,” Stockton said. Kappa Delta was one of the two sororities with a house. They have owned their house on Chestnut Street 16 of their 21 years of activity. “It’s (living at the house) kind of a laid-back, down-home atmosphere,” Stockton said. They had an open house for anyone in the community to stifle curiosity of the building. “People pass by and wonder what it’s like inside,” Stockton said. “Now they'll know.” —BY STEVE FERRY sworn menriestart-serogneeteit neem 4 me pet Wi TEP RP te RLU A IRON RISD sii RPTL LOL IEICE NLR ET EO SS SE RINT ONT ROW: Ia Neeley, Shannan Haines, Dawn Decker, Kim Bosley, Debbie Poe, Krista Cowherd, Barbee Padvers SECOND ROW: Renee Romans, Tara Wassom, Esli Smith, Vickie Peck, Jenny Ray, Signe Hamlin, Terri Ramsey, Christi Ryan, Beth Raider’ THIRD ROW: Ann Tosi Kereiakes, Donna Murphy, Sue Wilkins, Jill Karnik, Nicky Beck, Heather Breeding.

Greeks 278 Greeks Individual unity emaining individuals while strengthening their unity was a goal of two sororities, Phi Mu and Sigma Kappa. “We're very much individuals,” Phi Mu President Jenny Talbot, a Burkesville senior, said. “We have a common bond but we encourage each other to be individuals and think on our own.” The 70 members not only par- ticipated together in intramurals, but also joined clubs on their own. Community relations were also im- portant to the Phi Mus. The sorority collected food for HOTEL (Helping Others Through Extending Love, In The Name Of Christ) and participated in Special Olympics. Their major phil- anthropic project was HOPE (Health Organizations for People Everywhere). The group sold links for spirit chains at Homecoming and donated the money to HOPE: is a key part of sorority life. The Phi Mus also raised money for group activities. For example, the pledges raised money through balloon sales at Sweetest Day, had a car wash and sold Tupperware. They used the money to “donate to the chapter, however they see fit,” Talbot said. Phi Mu’s major social activities were dances. The group had two fall dances and two spring dances. Phi Mu was not only involved in social activities, but also academic excellence. To join the sorority, pledges were re- quired to have a 2.0 GPA. They also had study hours for pledges and for actives who fell below the sorority’s standards, Talbot said. The Sigma Kappa sorority strived toward several goals and attained many of them. “We have gained a central focus and direction towards our goals,” said President Kim Jones, a Corbin senior. One goal was academic excellence. The 15-member group placed first a- mong sororities in academics for 1985. “Academics is the reason we're here,” Jones said. “This is a preparation and learning time for the future.” The Sigma Kappas also strived for campus and community involvement, Jones said. In November they had a week of activities to show their support for the greek system. They put balloons and fliers around campus and had a tea for chapter presidents and advisers during the week. “During Spirit Week we wanted to show a new beginning and say to the campus, ‘Hey, we're here and we want to support and help the community and greek life.’ We came out of the woodwork,” Jones said. The Sigma Kappas raised money for three philantropic projects.

In the case of Western’s fraternity system, they happened to be exclusively black or white. This was the case until spring of 1986 when two blacks pledged traditionally white fraternities. Hopkinsville junior Marvin Moore was the first to do so. Moore received his bid from the Kappa Alpha Order last fall after he started going to parties with his best friend, Geoff Knight. “Geoff came back with a bid one night and asked me to go down there with him,” Moore said. “He said, “You know why I asked you down here; you know more actives than I do.” Moore received his bid in October, then waited until spring to pledge. “Realistically, I had doubts as to whether the chapter would vote to give him a bid,” the KA’s rush chairman, Robert Reynard, a St. David’s Church, Va., freshman, said. “I hoped we would | have the character to go through with it.” Sean Scarborough, a Vine Grove freshman, received his bid in J anuary from Kappa Sigma. “I went to a few other fraternities,” Scarborough said. “I knew four or five guys from home that are Kappa Sigs and that helped me to decide to pledge,” he said. Although he looked at other fra- ternities, Scarborough said he never con- sidered pledging a black fraternity. Moore, on the other hand, had con- sidered pledging Alpha Phi Alpha but then decided against it. “I wasn't com- pletely sure about it,” Moore said. “I think that if you’re not 100 percent, then you shouldn't do it.” Both expected their decisions to get some reaction from the campus, but not “I kind of thought it might get some attention, to the extent that it did. either good or bad,” Scarborough said. Moore was surprised by the attention he got from KAs from other chapters at a Breaking barrier “to Kappa Sigs and KAs meant pledging black men. ieee canted tataceateal Penance at maaan ewes eae ite diate ets Mateesteaatre atte orctenaaaaitaenrubdtesr sectors eteetertemmetee meeteernetee tr party during their province council. “I know I had to be a major shock to them, but people just kept coming up and congratulating me,” Moore said. “They said, ‘We don’t know when it will hap- pen at our school, but we are glad to have you in our province.” Moore and Scarborough’s actions did not come as a surprise to David Sneed, director of fraternity affairs. “I expected it,” Sneed said. “I knew about Marvin and his interest in KA and I know Sean from the dorm.” Sneed said the reaction from campus seemed to be favorable, especially from other greeks. Scarborough’s big sister in Kappa Sigma, Shelly Thomas, a Henderson sophomore, said, “I thought it was won- derful.“ Despite all the attention they received, the two men were considered equal to the other pledges by the active chapter. “Marvin is treated just like anyone else,” said Reynard.

Just because they are black and the fraternity is mostly white, that shouldn't stop them. A fraternity shouldn't just look at color or worry what alumni will say. If you want to do it, do it. .

The show was tomorrow. And the dress re- hearsal, like all dress rehearsals, was hectic. People in various attire bustled about the old dance studio. Why all the confusion? The brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha were rehearsing their Spring Sing show, and they wanted their show to win. Again. Western’s Spring Sing, a song- and-dance show, was a part of West- ern’s Greek Week that the Lambda Chis had won 17 of the 20 com- petitions. In 1986, they hoped to make it 18 of 21. “The last tume we lost was in 1982. We placed second. The first year, we didn’t enter. And the other year we were disqualified for too much time,” Bill Beranek, co-chairman of his fra- ternity’s show, said. Beranek and the other co-chairman, Craig Cun- ningham, were Bowling Green seniors. Beranek said the tradition started with Ray Payne, a Boston native and a 1965 initiate. Payne, whose parents attended Western, wrote the Lambda Chis’ first winning show in 1966. “He had played the piano most of his life,” Beranek said. After college Payne had been under contract with RCA as well as playing t he piano and working skits for Carol Burnett. Payne’s expertise in writing shows bo A iat aE AOE SERS SST RALENS ESSENSE SECEDE OS ASRS ESET RSS SELES Stat Seasoned performances) were part of Spring Sing with Lambda Chis. had worked for other groups as well. The Lambda Chi chapter at the Uni- versity of Southern Florida have also performed Payne’s shows. But greeks closer to home have appreciated his talents, too. In the late ’70s in Spring Sing’s sorority division, Kappa Delta, Chi Omega and Alpha Omicron Pi placed first, second and third, respectively. All three shows were compiled by Payne. Payne lived in St. Petersburg, Fla. but still put together a show for his old chapter at Western. Usually Payne did all of the song-and-dance work connected with the show but he was sick this year, Beranek said. “We took over his idea and made the show. We began looking for ideas and songs at the first of January,” he said. Practice usually started about five to six weeks before the show and the “number of practices varies on how well they know it,” Beranek said. “We had a few 6 a.m. practices which were not fun. They are more pro- ductive practices and they help morale,” he said. The practices paid off. On Sunday, April 6, anticipation mounted each time the curtain opened. The Lambda Chis show, “An Evening at the Old Apollo Theater,” was scheduled last. By that time, the audience's curiosity was aroused. “What are they doing this year? What will the costumes or —Tim Broekema LAMBDA CHI ALPHA National Consultant Todd Wallace, an alumnus, watches the fraternity practice.

When the curtains parted, the audience watched as a character, played by Tim Thornton, a Prospect senior, began to narrate. Thorton, in a burgundy velvet dinner jacket com- plete with black lapels, stood before 19 men clad in black pants, white shirts, blue or black vests and blue or black bow ties. The costumes were made by Dr. Stan Cook, the chapter adviser. A lone singer began “Am I Blue,” the Lambda Chis’ first selection. The song finished and the narrator began +] anew. Then a loud stomp of 20 pairs of feet jumping and landing in unison claimed the audience’s attention for the second song, “Taint Nobody’s Bizness If I Do.” Amidst applause, the usual singing and dancing, and a few acrobatics, the show continued with “Pig Foot and a Bottle of Beer,” i and ended with “Crazy Rhythm.” During the finale, the dancers amazed many by “using” their back- drop. They danced up two sets of steps they had built in the shape of an overturned ‘V.’ They received an award for best backdrop at the end of the evening, as well as for the fra- ternity division's best costumes. But the award that caused the most | | | cheering and shouting allowed the Lambda Chis to carry on a long- standing tradition, as they won their 18th Spring Sing competition. No one was suprised. “I was impressed. They put on an excellent show again this year; they're always fun to Watch, Kim Adams, a Jom- pkinsville junior, said. Other winners in the fraternity division included second-place Delta Tau Delta with “A Tribute to 007” and third-place Kappa Alpha Order with “Times Emotion.” Kappa Delta won the sorority division competition and best costume award with their show entitled “Rags to Riches.” Alpha Omicron Pi was second with “Everything's Coming Up Rain- bows,” while Alpha Delta Pi was third with “A Tribute to the War Between the States.” The audience support of the Lambda Chis on that Sunday night was obvious. Beranek assured that the chapter was always supportive as well. “The chapter's attitude as a whole is very good. They help a lot with cos- tumes and backdrops. “Sometimes we have too many people. Spring Sing is a high priority as far as the semester goes. It can really be a pain, but when it comes down to the line, everyone really pulls together and works hard,” Beranek said.

Ithough several of the campus greek organizations chose to celebrate and share the festivities by par- ticipating together in one Greek Week, a few of the campus greeks did differently. Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta sororities, and Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi fraternities kept their age-old traditions of having different weeks to honor their societies. Alpha Kappa Alpha celebrated AKA Week for the 17th year. Their big event was a toga party with Omega Psi Phi fraternity, who were also having their Greek Week. As their finale, AKA hos- ted the Cellar with the proceeds going to the United Negro College Fund. AKA’s Greek Week had a two-fold purpose, AKA president Pam Dixon, a Louisville junior, said. “It was a way to show other individuals on campus what we are about and a chance to let the independents see the sorority as a whole,” Dixon said. “It is also a way for the sorority to honor itself.” “It’s a time to promote the sorority and to show the strength of the sisterhood.” JINNIFER BOATWRIGHT “Tt’s been a tradition of years since who knows when,” Jinnifer Boatwright, a Lancaster sophomore, said. But according to Boatwright, the major function of the week was to dem- onstrate the unity of the sisterhood. “During the week, it’s a time to pro- mote the sorority and to show the strength of the sisterhood,” Boatwright said. Delta Sigma Theta sorority opened the round of Greek Weeks this year with Delta Week. Delta Week began with a rededication ceremony for all of the sis- ters of the sorority. They had a greek display, a fashion show and two parties RG en eae mer eRe ten rte eres: with other greek organizations. But the highlight of Delta Week was the annual Greek Luau. The luau was a “greek only” event, during which all of the greeks got together, dressed in tropical clothing and grass skirts for a cookout. “We just get together and meet all of the other greeks,” Delta president Hilda Harville, a Radcliff junior, said. “Since Delta Sigma Theta is a service sorority, this week is our main social event.” To Carla Lawson, a Georgetown soph- omore, Delta Week was a time to get together with the sisters of her sorority. “It’s a time to get together as a group and show the campus our unity,” Lawson said. “It’s a time to get together with my other sorors and have fun and remember what I went through to become a Delta.” Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity launched Alpha Week with the second annual Alpha Phi Alpha Basketball Classic. The Classic lasted for three days and eight teams participated. They gave a free party for the general public at Phase One and hosted the Cellar. They ended their week with all of the brothers attending church together. “The purpose of Alpha Week is to give the general public an idea of what Alpha Phi Alpha can do for the general public,” Alpha academic adviser Cedric Scruggs, a Louisville senior, said. “That’s the reason we held the basketball classic and gave the parties. Ir gives the students a break and in that way, we are providing a community service.” Alpha president Charles Ellis, an Indi- anapolis senior, said that the week was an effort to showcase Alpha Phi Alpha fra- ternity. “We have community service projects, academic awards and Alpha Ball,” Ellis said. “It goes back to helping, unity and brotherhood. And that’s what we're all about.” Putting a Greek Week together was not easy, Ellis said. “lve been an Alpha for four years. I’ve seen Greek Weeks flop and I’ve seen them work out. It takes a lot of work, but it’s satisfying.” Kappa Alpha Psi, unlike other fra- ternities, kicked off their Greek Week with a community service project. They visited the children at Panorama and put on a step show for them. During Kappa Week, they sponsored Brotherhood Day to honor all fraternities. The week ended with a step show and party at the Cellar. According to Julius Key, a brother of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and Detroit, Mich., sophomore, Kappa Week was a type of mixing of the old and new. “It’s sort of like Homecoming is in the fall,” Key said. “The older brothers and other Kappas from different campuses come to Western to meet and associate with us and the newest brothers. It pro- vides us with a chance for unity and togetherness.” Omega Psi Phi fraternity began their week with the usual greek display. But on the second day of Omega Week, they helped a family whose house had burned down by contributing over $50 to the family. According to president Tony Cope- land, a Princeton sophomore, “It was an opportunity to do a real community ser- vice, not just to do something so you could say that we did do a service, but something to really help someone.” Omega Week activities continued with a toga party with AKA sorority, a presentation of sports awards and a couple of parties for the general public. For Ronald Fishback, a Shelbyville, Tenn., senior, Omega Week was a time when the Omegas were put in the campus limelight. “It’s put together to highlight to the campus the activities of Omega Psi Phi,” Fishback said. “It’s also a time for when the brothers of Omega Psi Phi who have pledged at Western, completed a suc- cessful college career and gone out into _ the world, to come back and visit the chapter.” But Fishback said Omega Week had a personal significance to him. “Tt's a time to let people know that we are not just a black group. Any man, black or white, can be an Omega Man. It’s a time to be recognized! We are the best fraternity and during our week, we prove it.” —BY MARCIA ROBERTSON Tht rt tet Eee es aes IN THE TALENT portion of the Miss Black Western pageant, Watkins sings “The Greatest Love.” The pageant was one of a number of Black Greek Week events.

Stress has always been a factor of collegiate life. “To me, tests cause mega-stress and so do peer and parental pressure,” said Todd Vajner, a Bowling Green senior. The most dangerous level of stress occurred when students would drop out of all activities. “When students drop out of On the Edge life they have reached a really dangerous point. This is where a person will attempt suicide to try to get out of the obligations he has,” said Anne Duncan, a Louisville sophomore and _psy- chology student. “Stress is something that 1s always with us. People just have to learn to hurdle it to survive in college,” Duncan said. Being able to handle stress 1s a skill that needed to be learned early in order to avoid its ill effects on the collegiate life. - stress she worked out, Many students developed hob- bies or pastimes that helped blow off steam. Running and other physical activities helped use up the tension that stress generated. Loree Zimmerman, a Provi- dence senior, said that to handle went shopping, went to other people to talk about the problem and basically tried “to not let things pile up.” Duncan said, “As long as people find some way to burn up their stress-related energy, then The Sideshow — illustration by TJ. Hamilton they should have no problem with stress overwhelming their lives.” Some stressful situations for Vince Lewis, a Dayton senior, were “deadlines, and trying to deal with large groups of people.” He said he handled the stress by facing the situation. “I don’t let it (the situation) overwhelm me,” Lewis said. “I do the best I can to get the job —Chris Watkins done.” Zo Seniors Seniors Brown-Chrisman FRANKLIN BROWN, speech bdeast., Liberty KENNY BROWN, finance, Central City RHONDA BROWN, int. design, Park City SUSAN BROWN, management, Owensboro WILLIE BROWN, social work, St. Louis JIMMIE BRUCE, public relations, Bremen DEBORAH BRUMFIELD, manage- ment, Irvington FAITH ANN BRYANT, admin. mgt., Beechmont CYNTHIA BURNETT, bus. mgc., Rineyville KIMBERLY BURNS, bus. mgt., Maysville MARK CALVERT, psychology, Scottsville SUSAN CARDER, elem. ed. , Gam- aliel CAROLYN CARTER, phys. ed. rec., Bowling Green ; MALISSA CARTER, bre vadcasting, Burkesville RENATA CARTER, elem. ed., Burkesville JEFFREY CARVER, broadcasting, Fountain Run CAROLYN CARWAILE, psychology, Clarkson JERRY CASTLEBERRY, computer sci., Benton JOHN CHESTER, accounting, Louisville KIM CHRISMAN, pre-physical ther- apy, Elizabethtown ON VISITORS DAY at the Hardin Planetarium, a group of children await the planetarium’s showing of the “Star of Bethlehem” program.

The night prior to an exam for most students was not exactly something they looked forward to, particularly for a number of them who waited until the last possible minute to crack a pre- viously untouched book. Few students looked forward to spending the night with a textbook, studying until close to dawn. Simply the thought of mulling over countless pages of notes, most of which were bor- rowed or taken while half asleep, T turned stomachs and made students’ skin crawl. For some. students, either exam time was taken lightly, or prepared for in advance. But for many students, studying was last-minute, and called for an endless flow of patience and understanding—and a diet of coffee, Coke, and No-Doze. Many students such as Ad- olphus junior Rodney Owens re- plied that cramming the night before the test was “very sched- uled.” “You have a certain schedule you have to follow to get every- thing ready for the next day,” he said. “The night before is very hectic, very long and drawn out.” Owen said that when it came to staying up and burning the midnight oil, he needed help in staying alert. He said it took “a lot of No-Doze and several cups of coffee” to stay generally awake and study. Some students found that early preparations for a major exam made studying much easier. But Kathy Newton, a Hawesville sophomore, found that getting much of the studying done ahead of time did not necessarily mean that the night before the exam passes by without “nervous mo- ments.” “Im always anxious the night he Sideshow —Illustration by Drew Tarcer before,” she said. “No matter how well-prepared you think you are, you still never feel like you ve studied enough.” Much of the anxiety, Newton said, was caused by simply wanting to “get it over with!” Failing to do a little studying beforehand was a hard lesson to learn for many students, but it was not a lesson learned often. Cramming for a test seems to have been the norm for many students, like Owens, for. exam- ple. “I'm probably like the rest of the students on this campus —_I tend to procrastinate,” he said. —Pam Carey 297, Seniors Final Exams 298 Seniors ANGELA GRIDER, agriculture, Jamestown WAYNE GRIFFIN, accounting, Somerset VALERIE GRIGGS, sociology, Princeton VELVET GUTHRIE, nursing, Shep- herdsville JERRY HAASE, management, Owensboro JONELL HACKLEY, marketing, Clarkson LORIANN HAGAN, home ec. ed., Maceo CARLA HALE, phil. religion, Har- rodsburg DARON HALL, sociology, Nashville, Tenn.

Was it a nuclear war? A natur- al disaster? Was the end finally here? Hardly. It was only the di- saster of the dorm fire drill. Anne Duncan, a Louisville sophomore and Poland Hall resi- dent, said that all the “fire drills are memorable because I usually have no makeup or decent clothes on when they (the alarms) go off.” It was a real trick trying not to make eye contact with anyone so as not to be recognized. “I feel naked without my makeup, and 300 Seruors Fire Alarms who wants to feel naked in front of 200 guys?” Duncan asked. Once speculated about the cause of the outside, residents alarm. Was it real or just bugs crawling across the circuits in the system setting off the alarm again? “One time a resident left a pizza box in the oven too long,” Duncan said, “and a lot of smoke resulted.” Fire alarms didn’t just annoy the residents of the hall. They were annoying to others who happened to hear the residents gathering outside. Duncan said that she was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by Pearce-Ford Tower resi- dents chanting that the “roof is on fire...we don’t need no water. The Sideshow Experience ON THE 23rd floor kitchen of Pearce-Ford Tower, a fire brings Lt. Joe Gentry of Public Safety and a Bowling Green fireman to investigate the scent.

By the time residents got back in the build- ing, the good stuff was over. A resident assistant’s first reac- tion to a fire alarm was to find out if the fire was on his or her floor.

The Career Planning, Aca- demic Advisement, Placement Center, better known as the CAP Center, came to the rescue. As Robin James, a Benton senior and frequent user of the center’s services, said, “There are so many resources there that aren’t being used because people don’t know about it.” Dr. Jerry Wilder, director of the CAP Center, said, “We do not have the level of participation from the students that we desire. Roughly 50 percent of our seniors use the facilities.” Just in case a student wanted to research a major before offi- cially deciding on it, the CAP Center offered plenty of material to read to find out trends in a career and the outlook for differ- ent jobs. The center also offered interest surveys involving a system of three tests to find out which majors a student might consider. These tests measured interests, abilities and values that might decide on a help someone career-—maybe the right one this AT A SEMINAR, Pat Markle, placement office director, speaks to students about clear writing.

A woman, with’ Kleenex in hand, cried softly. Friends and neighbors gathered for the fu- neral procession, which led to a cramped stall in a drab bath- room. A few words were spoken, and the deceased was given a burial at sea. This, of course, was no ordi- nary funeral. The matchbox cas- ket contained only a dead fish. However, to many students, the pomp and circumstance was the only way to say goodbye to their pets. 308 Semors Since fish were the only pets allowed in residence halls, many opted for the small, finned crea- tures as opposed to a petless exis- cence. “I bought three fish since I couldn't have hamsters. Besides, they add some color to this little room,” Bemis Lawrence resident Kim Rankin, a Glasgow soph- omore, said. But, since fish required a little extra effort, some owners came home from classes one day to find Mr. Fish belly-up. According to Bob Lewis, man- ager of Petland, three common problems in maintaining a healthy fish were: overfeeding, leaving the light on too long and keeping the water temperature too warm. Each of these mistakes could lead to the untimely demise of the fish. And, with death came decay. A fish, lifeless for just a few hours, could put off a smell that could raise the dead, thus leading toa hasty burial. “One of my friends in Bemis Lawrence Hall had a fish that died when she wasn’t there. Her roommate, knowing she would be distraught, planned the fu- —llluseracion by Sceve Hanks neral. They had an obituary and in black. When the owner of the fish came everybody dressed home, they had a funeral in the bathroom,” Donna Perry, a Law- renceburg senior, said. Not everyone, however, pro- vided such dignified services to culogize their fish. “[ wasn't too attached to my fish so 1 didn’t bother with a funeral,” Kathy Adkins, a Lew- isport sophomore, said. “I just from it to keep it tlushed sunking.” Sandy Smith May-McDaniel Seniors SUSAN MAY, speech path. , Marion MARK MCATEE, info. systems, Louisville RONALD McCAMISH, computer sci. math, Irvington LAURA McCLELLAN, broadcasting, Louisville MICHAEL McDANIEL, finance, Horse Cave : | DURING THE Fellowship of Christian Athleces jog-a-thon, Janice Albert, a Paducah senior, hands the cross to Laurie Brantley, a Glenshaw, Pa., junior, Phe jog-a-thon lasted for 100 hours.

Wane Thats The Sideshow ares Down to Business Al fie headlines in newspapers made Aus GLANCE business and ethics seem like a contradiction in terms. “Busi- ness Executive Embezzles Funds,” Found Guilty of Polluting Environ- “Company ment,” and other headlines left many readers cynical about the business world. But, a new course sought to teach students the importance of combining business and ethics. Dr. Jan Garrett of the Phil- osophy and Religion Department developed the course directed toward business majors. “The course reflects thinking in the country which has developed over the past 10 years,” Garrett said. “The interest grew out of the 1970 consumer movement lead by Ralph Nader,” he added. Such prominent cases as the Ford-Pinto case, in which the company concealed that their cars exploded on impact, shocked consumers. “People felt like cor- porations were making a moral decision by putting a price tag on human life,” Garrett said. This prompted universities across the country to develop a business and ethics course. Pitt State, South- east Kansas and University of Kentucky were some of the first schools to offer the course. The course dealt with theories of justice and human rights and their applications to the social model of business. Topics 1n- cluded advertising and its effects, the dangers of rapid economic growth and a corporation's moral responsibilities, a mong other related subjects. STUDENTS LISTEN TO Dr. Jan Garrett as he teaches business law and ethics. The class was new to the curriculum this year. “Many issues are two-sided with initially plausible argu- ments,” Garrett said. The course presented various arguments, allowing students to discuss and write their views on moral issues. “Anyone who is interested in social issues should take the course,’ he said. “Although it’s aimed at business administration | majors it would be a good liberal | arts course,’ he said. Garrett hoped the course would someday become a general education course. The primary purpose of the course was to make the students more aware of businesses. “There is a new generation of students Gary Clack becoming adults who weren’t reading the papers when these stories broke,” Garrett said. “They aren't aware of the moral dimensions of a business’ ac- tions,” he said. Garrett also hoped people already in the business world would take the course. “Aristotle said the best students are older students. I say, better now than never, he added. While Western's first business and eth- enrollment in ics course was modest, Garrett hoped the course would grow. “We just want to create a more sensitive public,” he said. — --Susan Stockton A) + 2) 11 Seniors McGee Muller Seniors — Mueller-Puentes RITA MUELLER, photojournalism, Glendale KELLEY MURPHY, broadcasting, Nashville, Tenn.

Certain courses could kill students financially, too. Selected courses required students to purchase materials sometimes costing $200 or more. Some students even had more than one of these classes. Cathy Clark, a Glasgow junior, had basic photography and_ print design the same semester. Clark said that she spent about S150 for photography class, ex- cluding a flash that she bought. The most expensive supply was the developing paper which cost about $90. Clark said that she didn’t ex- pect to spend that much, but “It was worth it. You have to de- velop a lot to learn,” she said. Paying the Price Clark’s checkbook also got a workout in print design class. She spent about $10 on tools and an additional $30 for the class projects. Art majors had to shell out the Kim Lowe, a Mad- isonville junior, said that art cash, too. classes were pretty expensive. Painting was her most expensive class in which she spent over $200. “You always have to buy more paint, and then there's the stret- chers, which are the wood frames that you put canvas on, which can cost as much as $12 apiece. So when you have six or eight paintings, that can add up.” Over her three years as an art major, Lowe estimated that she had spent more than $400, but thinks the expense was well worth it. “They are not bunny The Sideshow IN INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION 6class, Campbellsville senior Jason Baxtor puts the finishing couches on his semester project. The materials for his Queen f F } Anne coffee rable cost $90 classes like everyone thinks; you learn a lot,” Lowe said. A clothing and textile major could also be costly. Charlene Settles, a Bardstown senior, said that clothing classes were the most expensive, but the cost de- pended on what types of mate- rials were used. “IT spent about $50 on my material plus the initial cost of scissors and needles,” Settles said. Design classes also were ex- pensive because of special paper for block printing. Settles hoped to get a design job, so she felt the expense was worth it, “plus I had alot of fun.” Dr. Frank M. Pittman, pro- —James Borchuck fessor of industrial and engi- neering technology, said: that his class was worth the cost. He taught a woods class in which the students each made a guitar. Students expected to spend S200 for materials and a case, Pittman said. Upon completion, the guitars were displayed in the library. Most students kept their projects rather than sell them. “I've never known a student who didn’t keep his guitar,” Pittman said, It has been said that people get what they pay for'and many students felt that money was n¢ object when it came to expensive courses.

Mothers reminded their chil- dren one last time to eat their green vegetables. Of course those friends who went off to school before them told how waistlines expanded as the first thing students learned was a love for pizza. Although the stories varied, two facts didn’t. No one in the entire history of universities has ever said cafeteria food was good and nobody’s cooking is as good as dear old mom’s. Students’ eating habits were as What’s Cookin g? different as the students them- selves. But somehow they all found a way eat while away from home. Some students utilized the facilties provided by the univer- sity while others either cooked in their dorms or ate off campus. “Sometimes I eat on campus,” Rachel Jones, freshman, said. “But I eat at Gar- rett more than DUC because Garrett’s food is 10 times better. DUC’ food is nasty.” Jones said that she ate off ca- a Bardstown mpus at least four times a week. “I prefer eating at Trotter's because | love the atmosphere,” said Jones. “It is so rich and elegant.

I like Downing better because of the atmosphere.” However, Posze said things would be different if she had a car. “If I had a car, I would eat off campus much more because the food is better.” Wendy Riley, an Eddyville freshman, said that she doesn’t Allen Hensley eat at the campus cafeterias be- cause they are so far from her dorm, Bemis Lawrence. “If [m going to go out and walk all the way up to DUC, I'd rather get in the car and go somewhere,” Riley said. “If I am going to eat alone, I would rather eat in my room.” Despite the differences in taste and preference about where to eat, everyone had to agree that whatever they ate in Bowling Green was just a mere substitute for the cooking back at home.

The class was required for all students begin- ning a degree program at West- ern. Even though he thought the class was “very boring,” Joe Cooper, a Louisville freshman, said that without instruction about the library, “it’s hard to find stuff on your own.” Cooper said that, even though the class was said to be a “bunny” course, he didn’t make an A be- cause “I was just so bored. It’s one of those classes you don’t want to do anything in.” Kimberly Marsh, a Scottsville freshman, said that the class was made more interesting through tours of the different libraries around campus, such as the Kentucky Library located in the Kentucky Museum. “They took us through differ- ent parts (of libraries) that I wasn t in high school,” Marsh said. Some students found that fit- ting a one-hour bi-term course exposed to into their schedules could be frustrating, so an independent study course was offered. Kerrt Adkins, a Bow, N.H., sophomore, said that since the class was her first attempt at in- dependent study, she thought it was more interesting than the traditional classroom version. “It was fun looking for all those places and getting lost,” Adkins said. She also said she thought the class was vital, be- cause the library system was so large that it was easy to become lost.

Students partied with it, danced to it, and some studied with it. And what was being played on pop and rock stations was hot to some and not so hot to others. “IT like music with roots,” Barry Brock, a Beaver Dam ju- nior said, “by bands who have been around a long time. I like i real music, without all the elec- tronic synthesizers and stuff.” Brock listened to jazz when studying, and Springsteen “or a country station” when going to sleep. With other students, how- ever, they listened to the same type of music day and night. Scott Hourigan, a Bowling Green junior, listened mainly to rock music. His preferences in- cluded George Thoroughgood, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. he Sideshow But “to get rowdy on road trips,” Hourigan switched to Hank Williams, Jr. “T like to listen to slow music when I want to mellow out,” Nancy Johnson, a Hawesville sophomore, said. Johnson liked a wide variety of pop and rock music including Bryan Adams and Chicago. Sarah Ramsey, a Lexington junior, liked country music — period. Kenny Rogers, Don —Illuscration by Steve Hanks Williams, and Alabama were among her favorites, but she liked nearly all country per- formers. Ramsey saw singer Dan Seals this year in Van Meter Auditorium. Music has always been popular among college _ students. Students’ musical tastes did vary, but one thing was for certain: rausic, whether it be rock, pop, country or the blues, was here to stay.

There were the usual gains and losses, choosing of sides, neutrality, and pleas for an end to the siege. “Please put real coke back in our machines,” was written on an index card and taped to the Coke machine in the snack room of Gilbert Hall. At the time, the girls who wrote the note for the drink ma- chine must have thought they were asking for the impossible. Little did they know they were about to have their request Pop Battles Coke, Tab, RC, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Seven-Up, and all the granted by the old Coke reborn, alias Coke Classic. They were victims of the cola wars. With the introduction of New Coke, the Coca Cola Company added one more product to what was becoming an endless list of soft drink products. The girls in Gilbert Hall who wrote the note on the Coke machine were not the only ones who were dis- pleased. The decision between New Coke, Coke Classic, Diet Coke, Coke, Cherry Catfeine-Free others was too much of a decision for some people. “ld rather just have iced tea than make a decision from all those products on the shelves in the groceries,” said Natalie Bowles, an Owensboro soph- omore. “[ like Classic Coke the best,” Bowles said, “but I can never find it in the store.” Marketing professor Bob Erffmeyer agreed. “Marketing research has shown Classic Coke —Illustration by Steve Hanks is outselling New Coke by far. You don’t need research to see that though. Just look at the shelves at Houchens or Krogers.” Students and consumers who were loyal to brands of soft drinks continued to find only RC brands at Western's cafeterias.

FELICIA CARTWRIGHT, Win- chester 338 Sophomores Abrams-Cartwright Abrams-Cartwright COLLEGE RECRUITERS often said that living with a roommate could be one of the best learning experiences of college life. But what many students learned was that they needed privacy and freedom to come and go as they pleased. For $575 students could get a private room with its advantages and, surprisingly enough, a few disadvantages. “T first got a private room when I lived in Pearce-Ford be- cause I needed more time to my- self, . Dell Morganfield junior, said. Later a Robertson, a Poland Hall resident, Robertson liked the freedom to come and go The Sideshow JACK DON Brite —James Borchuck onfinement as he pleased. “I have an irregular schedule that might get on a roommate's netves, he said. “It’s not really that I’m anti-social.” Procrastination tendencies led Susan Henry, a Paris senior, to get a private room. “I have a lot of classes and tend to put off doing projects until the night before,” she said. “It would get on a roommate’s nerves to have my staying up all night.” Both Robertson and Henry disliked not always having some- one with whom to talk. “I’ve got friends on the floor, though, and that way I can make the choice to see them,’ Robertson said. WHILE TALKING on the phone in his private room, Jim Beech, a Sturgis junior, watches television. Beech had piled four mattresses up on one bed and added a couch fora “homey couch.” Resident assistants in dormi- tories got private rooms at the regular occupancy rate. Cathy Huff, a resident assistant in Rodes-Harlin, enjoyed the ad- ditional space. “It’s obvious that more room is an advantage to having a private room,” she said. “I also don’t feel like I’m always bothering someone with my schedule.” Robertson also liked the ad- ditional space. His dorm room was equipped with an aquarium, a large television, a microwave — James Botchuck and an answering machine. “I like being able to take up both sides of the room,” he said. More studying time, space and privacy also played a part in why Scott William, a Scottsville senior, got a private room. But, he also said, “I never really got lonely in a private room because my girlfriend was there most of the time.” So, whether for privacy, more study time or convenience, pri- vate rooms were definitely in demand. ) —Susan Stockton 2py) Sophomores Sophomor CS Casey-Deramus CINDY CASEY, Crestwood REBECCA CASTLE, Bowling Green KRIS CAUDILL, Louisville DAVID CHAPMAN, Hopkinsville KELL] CHEEVER, London KATHLEEN CHESTER, Louisville STEVE CHRISTMAS, Russellville SCOTT CHURCH, Louisville DENEEN CLAY, Indianapolis, Ind.

PEOPLE'S SCHEDULES RE- volved around a job, their fam- ily or school. some people, how- ever, planned their schedule around their favorite soap opera. Gail freshman, scheduled her classes Sewell, a Burkesville around “Days of Our Lives,” or “Days” as many fans called it. “I enjoy watching it,” she said. “I took lunch at 3:00 this summer at work so I could watch it,” she said. Lisa Cotton, a Lavonia Mich. , senior, said, “My sophomore year 342 Sophomores I chose to take an anatomy lab at night so that I wouldn’t miss ‘Days of Our Lives.’ “] didn’t take an 11:45 this year so I could watch it at 12:00,” Cotton said. Western women were not the only ones who let a soap dictate their schedule. “I think there are guys who do (set their schedule around a soap) but won’t admit it,” Steve Groeninger, a New- burgh, Ind., freshman, said. “I get to watch ‘General Hospital’ every day and ‘All My Children’ every other day. I also watch ‘Dynasty’ religiously,” Groen- inger said. The Sideshow EROS SOAPS ARE a part of daily life for Sue Noe, a Lexington junior, Donna Gatto, a Leitchfield senior, and Lisa Cotton, a Livonia, Mich., senior. They were watching a soap in the lobby of McLean Hall. People watched soaps for vari- ous reasons. Cotton watched “Days” because, “It’s got some of the most gorgeous men, it’s ex- citing and it’s fun.” Cotton said she used to watch four soaps, but dropped three because she was watching too much television. “I had to keep ‘Days’ no matter what,” she said. “Sometimes I watch it twice a day. I try to read all the soap magazines on it,” she said. Whether it was gorgeous men, —Allen Hensley excitement or fun, the soaps had something that created loyal fans at Western. It was an addiction that gripped even the most un- suspecting people. Without a support group it was impossible — to break the habit. Will students continue to plan their lives around soaps?

Loyal fans tuned in to the premiere of the show to see who else survived. Dawn Shuffett, a Greensburg sophomore, said, “I was glad they (the family members) all lived.” Shuffett, a fan since the beginning of the show, said she watched “Dynasty” because, “I like watching shows about the rich and famous because that’s how I want to be.” Shuffett’s favorite character was Blake. He has all the money,” she said. As for the new shows, two of the most popular were NBC's “The Cosby Show” and “Miami Vice” Cosby stole the show with its sitcom portrayal of the American family. “The examples they show deal with issues,” said Somerset senior Linda Chamberlain, who had watched the show in McClean Hall. Harrodsburg senior Carla Hale said she watched “Cosby” every chance she got. “It’s things you see happening in your own fam- ily,” she said. “Miami Vice” fan Jim Hub- buch, a-Nashville, Tenn., senior, said, “I try to watch it every week.

The Sideshow Door Die “DRACULA'S COFFIN’S LID was lying beside the empty comin’ Having to punctuate a sen- : tence like this was at best a | once-in-a-lifetime job, but once | was enough to put the nail in the coffin lids for most of the students enrolled in freshman English 101 who took the in- famous pass fail exam. The already-berated exam drew fire last September when over 70 percent of the students failed the exam the first time it was given although many showed up to take practice tests at the campus writing labs. “IT took the mock pass fail. In comparison to the test, it was really, really simple,” Beth Meece, a Somerset freshman, said. “I thought it was unfair.” f Kim Goetz, a Philpot fresh- man, described the mock pass fail as “misleading. It (the first test) didn’t have anything to do |} with the mock pass fail.” The disappointing results of the first test prompted the Eng- lish Department to release a re- vised practice test and make improvements in the second pass fail exam given in November. Dr. Joe Glaser, director of freshman English, said that the format of the tests was changed to pinpoint specific problems in grammar usage. “The other one turned out to be more of a reading test than grammar and writing,” Glaser said. The changes included under- lining the problem area and offering fewer choices on the multiple choice exam. “We had three answers instead of four,” Glaser said. Students needed to answer 52 out of 80 questions correctly to. pass with 65 percent, the mini- mum required. Students felt that the second mock test and real pass fail had improved and the overall test re- sults proved it. Only eight-to-10 percent of those taking the sec- ond test failed. Patrick Ballard, a Louisville freshman, said that although the first test was “much harder than | anticipated,” the second test “had fewer possibilities for an- swers. It made it easier.” Goetz said the second mock test was “similar to the real thing. It was a lot easier than the second real test, but you got a better idea of what to expect.” Glaser felt the results of the second test were more represent- ative of what students knew about grammar. “With this one, you really got a better sense of whether or not that student has that particular skill.” —Ter ri Pullen —Iflustration by Timothy Broekema and Michael Kiernan DARRELL CLARK, Louisville KIMBERLY CLARK, Hardinsburg DAVID CLAYCOMB, Columbia ANDREA COCKRILL, Olmstead ANNETTE COHRON, Morgantown KATHI COLLINS, Louisville CHRISTOPHER COMBS, Glasgow CRYSTAL COMER, Gamaliel BARBARA COMPTON, Bowling Green NANCY CONN, Columbia SUSAN CONRAD, Louisville MICHELLE COOK, Scottsville 2p).

Half of the theaters in town were playing “Rocky IV” or any of the other latest hits in a seemingly endless chain of seq uels, and the others were playing teeny-bopper sex slasher movies, all at $4.50 a head. With such bleak enter- tainment prospects, where could college students turn for fun and entertainment? Certainly not to TY—most dorm rooms received only won- derful ABC programs like “The Love Boat” or its stationary equivalent, “Hotel.” More and more students were turning to VCRs—video cassette vecorders. These were fast be- all pliance instead of the luxury item of past years—and tapes of just about every conceivable genre of movie, from classics like “Cas- ablanca” to gory, only-on-video dismemberment videos like “Faces of Death.” “It’s either comedy or some- thing bloody and scary,” Janie Locke, movie club manager at the Audio Center in Greenwood Mall, said. “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Fletch,” and “The Wall” were among the tapes rented most by college students at her store. “Animal House’ still goes out at least once a week to college kids,” she said.

Neither was coming out of the shower, soaking wet, only to find some- one penny-locked the room door shut. These were just a few ex- amples from a long list of many of the practical jokes played in the residence halls. Some people fell prey to the “leaner,” a garbage can filled with water leaned against a door that opens into a room. When a perso n opened the door from the inside, the garbage can tipped over, flooding the floor and drenching everything. Another popular trick was the “White Whale” or “Snowfall.” This was when someone took shaving cream or some kind of powder and filled a paper bag or large envelope, slipped the open end under the door of a room and stomped on it, making a well- constructed mess. Because of the simplicity of the dorm rooms, though, people were limited to the jokes they could play. Many of the same jokes were played over and over again, making monotony and predictability of the practical jokes the standard. “People don’t put the time and cffort into jokes as they used to,” Mike Gillilan, resident hall di- rector of Barnes-Campbell, said. Because the same old jokes were being played, “they have kind of gone out of style.” 364 Freshmen Gillilan admitted, however, that probably more practical jokes happened than came to his attention, and that resident as- sistants usually saw the most ac- tion when it came to pranks. Keen Hall resident assistant Todd Goodwin, a Princeton junior, said, “One time a guy threw a bucket of water on a guy in bed at four in the morning. That was pretty mean, I guess.” Goodwin, however, had seen better. He said that one time a resident took his roommate's hair dryer and made a cup out of tape at the end of the blower. The resident then filled the cup with powder, Kool-Aid, and whatever clse he could find, and plugged the hair dryer into the outlet on the light over the dresser. He aimed the hair dryer at the door, and when his roommate came in and turned on the light switch, the hair dryer went on and every- thing in the cup went all over him. Practical jokes don’t happen all through the year, though. “They go in streaks,” Goodwin said, “mainly during finals week and in spring, when people get kind of jumpy.” But no matter how much they were played, who played them, or where they were played, prac- tical jokes became a part of life in the residence halls. —Fred White —Illustration by Michael Kiernan eee AFTER ARENA REGISTRATION, Mike Jolly and John Mays, Lawrenceburg freshmen, take a break.

The sol- ution was the L. Y. Lancaster Clinic, commonly known as Western’s Health Clinic. For a mere $5 a visit, a student could get medical care from either Dr. Howard Zeigel or Dr. Harold West. The clinic, on the first. floor of Academic Complex, was open Monday through Fri- day, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to the doctor's offices, the clinic had a pharmacy, a medical labor- atory, X-ray equipment, obser- vation rooms and an infirmary. Since all illnesses and injuries did not occur between 8 a.m. and { p.m., there were after-hour and weekend services available. A student orderly and a nurse worked the night — shift. Although the nurses changed shifts at midnight, the orderlies worked the entire 16 hours. “If the orderly can hear the phone and doorbell, then they can sleep, otherwise they have to stay awake,” said Lucy Ritter, a clinical administrator. The en- trance was locked after 4 p.m. and a student had to ring the bell tor admittance. The orderly also took phone calls and assisted the nurse. Terry Dean, a senior pre- dental student from Jefferson- town, had been an orderly for two years. In a typical night, “We get two or three phone calls for ap- pointments. It’s the most boring job on campus. I get a lot of é Dean said. Nevertheless, Dean felt the clinic studying done,” was worth opening after hours because, “A lot of freshmen come in because it’s their first time sick away from home.” Over 8,000 students received medical care last year. The clinic's services were less ex- pensive than hospital and doctor visits and it was more conven ient since it was on campus, Ritter said. Medical equipment limited the clinic, but they were able to do routine X-rays and laboratory work. College students were at the high-risk age for mono- nucleosis and although the labor- atory was not computerized, they could still do about 30 tests on blood, Ritter said. Intramural sports did not The Sideshow IT’S CHECK-UP time as Chip Woodson, a Prospect senior, has his tempera- cure taken. Woodson was visiting the on-campus health clinic. necessarily increase the number of patients because, “Most games are after clinic hours and the more severe go to the hospital emergency room,” Ritter said. The intramural department felt “chat organized sports curtail injuries overall,” she said. —Nun Upshaw Dean said the infirmary was good because, “There’s a doctor on call and if someone has a virus, then we have a nurse for bedside care,” The clinic might not have measured up to Mom’s care, but then who could? 4 —Kim Saylor Waller—Young Freshmen MELISSA WALLER, Fountain Run LEE WALTON, Lexington DONALD WARDEN, Franklin, Tenn.

We were spectators, viewing things over which we had no con- trol. Many students were watching “Love, American Style” when ABC news- man Steve Bell interrupted to tell us that the space shuttle Challenger had ex- ploded soon after liftoff, Killing the seven as- tronauts. We saw the wreckage of the plane that carried 248 Fort Campbell soldiers to their deaths in a crash in Newfoundland. We watched as people at Western lost people they knew and loved. We witnessed unrest all over the world. There were conflicts with Libya. United States fighter planes were fired on by Libyan troops after crossing the Line of Death set up by Mommamhar Khadafy. The United States retaliated by bombing a Libyan city. Many feared that they United States was headed for war with the Middle Eastern country. Now matter the location of the event, somehow both Americans and Western students alike were deeply affected. —Allen Warren INSTEAD OF waving the red towel, Tammy Haggard, Clarksville.

Costume jewelry was raging also, and girls searched their mothers’, and some- times grandmothers’, old jewelry boxes for the coveted rhinestone trinkets. As for the styles, the gaudier, the better. But, whether popular with the masses or just with a few, trends were sure to be well represented. 384 Closing ae neni — nar ne a enti ee A et. saan esr alfa —WMtike Goheen AS THE SUN sets, members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity man their cannon at Smith Stadium.
