HAPPY BIRTHDAY THRESHOLD! SEVENTY YEARS YOUNG AND DYING? Welcome, loyal yearbook supporters, to at may be your last Hurray. Western Michi- n University's yearbook the THRESHOLD rmerly the BROWN AND GOLDJ this year ebrates its seventieth year of publication, 06 to 19751. Unfortunately, it may be our t. Western's THRESHOLD appears at this int to be the victim of a severe case of year- euthanasia. We are being put out of our with what amounts to a pocketxveto by administration.

When a yearbook staff cannot keep the ball rolling by making plans and preparing for the next edition as soon as one is finished, the rhythm is interrupted, staffers depart for lack of activity and insecurity about the book's fu- ture. Soon we will be finished with this book, and when we are gone there will be no one left behind appointed to carry on our task. The administration need do nothing but leave us in limbo, and it will be too late for THRESHOLD 1976, and much easier to forget us all together. And what a year for Western to try being without a yearbook. The one year in a century that history is one of the paramount concerns of the nation, when everyone will be experienc- ing their lives and country in the special light of its bicentennial celebration. And Western will lose it. 0h, they'l1 experience it. It'll be a Wonderful year for all involved, with memora- ble events filling every calendar. And when its over, it will be just that 5 over, and we won't be here to bring it back for you. I can't think of a better year to go, except maybe last year. book was prettier in 1974. Looking like a d of cards, with the joker on the cover, it wo have been immensely appropriate for a fi book, but not very funny. But, in a way, I suppose we brought all t on ourselves. The TI-IRESHOLD has be caught up for several years now in the crun of opposing forces: decreasing financial ba ing on the one hand, and an upward careeni spiral of production costs on the other. T year it all caught up with us. Our accumulat deficit was indeed phenomenal, amounting nearly forty thousand dollars at one point, a that, as any good businessman knows, is b business. And if our administration hereiat Wester full of anything, it is full of good businessm They know a bottomless pit when they see o and, in a way, that's what we are. One ye book covers only that, one year. Each year i wholly new production, with new beginnin new endings, and a year to capture all to its Each year means expenses of between thir five and forty thousand dollars, and that's W' a cut down version of the book from its h days in the late sixties. Yet, after all the ho of work, meeting deadlines, hounding staffer and chasing down as many groups and indix duals around the campus as possible, we st aren't doing well enough. We don't make el ough money to support ourselves, and here lies the problem. Put simply, we don't sell enough books make ours a money making operation. Nev mind that the University of Michigan sel fewer books than we do, to a student popula ion nearly twice our own. Never mind that vl sell the second largest number of college yea, books in the state of Michigan, second only i the sprawling campus of Michigan State Un versity. Never mind that WMU's Tl-IRI SHOLD has been a consistent award winner i yearbook annual competition. Never mir that in the last five years we have cut produ tion costs from a high of nearly fifty thousar dollars in 1971, to thirty-five thousand th year, and this in the face of ever rising papi n Experiment In Yearbook Euthanasia publication costs. Never mind that in 5, the year of tight money all across Amer- the THRESHOLD made more actual dol- from sales than in any previous year. er mind that the Greeks and organizations campus are making a comeback from the e slump we were in, and that their partici- ion in this year's book increased signifi- tly over last year. Never mind that our s were up forty percent over 1974, and that number of seniors getting their picture ta- . for the book was up nearly thirty-five cent over last yearg the highest number e 1968. Never mind that for the last four rs the Western Herald, WIDR, and the RESHOLD have been the recipients of a ee way split of the university's General d, and that out of its one hundred and five usand dollar budget, the highest amount d out to THRESHOLD for any one year, E slightly above six thousand dollars. Never d that though Western's administration nplains that we do not serve enough of the npus community to warrant further fund- , that the THRESHOLD sells to a higher centage of its student population than any other state supported university in Michigan, and that with a paid business staff of two sup- plemented by three secretaries! But never mind all these never minds. Mon- ey's tight, and when the purse strings are shor- tened funny things happen, belts are tight- ened, people are laid off, and luxuries are trimmed. Apparently we're considered a lux- ury, a frill, something kind of cute, and nice to keep around in order to humor those few peo- ple that are dedicated, interested, and con- cerned with leaving a living record of Western Michigan University for any who care to relive it in the future. But that's just so long as the bucks are floating easy. 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and, brother, if you don't make a profit, at least return enough to balance the budget, you're not tough, you're not even worth the paper you're written on, nor the effort that hundreds of people have put into carving a book out of the bricks and stone, flesh and blood, that make up this university. I wonder when the last time was that the Board of Trustees made a profit. But, then, perhaps they do. If they can charge ten bucks for a one page diploma that is supposed to ' Miiihmql ',, ' E' - 'I,.F4 ' W - c Y ,V f' S M yi-M Q,-'U' i. 0 P ' ywissesbxi W' k fm 'Sv UV y i minimal W 5 symbolize at least four years of a student's life, that's not too bad. In the last four years any student could have purchased four yearbooks, totalling thirteen hundred and ninety-two pages, for less than twenty dollars. Somewhere we missed the boat, we haven't been ripping people off enough. We tried to give each stu- dent as much of their university experience back to them as we could, for as little as we could. Obviously, a silly idea. We, as a staff, realize that we have been taking from the university more than we have been paying back, and we also realize that we Granted, our product has limited comm cial appeal in a market that experiences tighter money situation than many of the employed citizens of this country, studei But grant us in return that ours is a uni product, a unique media, one designed for future, not today, one that retains better W ture quality than a television and sifts dc and summarizes the events that takes hundred and sixty-five newspapers a year, that gains worth steadily as the years go instead of depreciating into nothingnessg gm. . N . an., f ,W N have been giving out more to students than they have been paying back. We agree that both situations should be corrected. We as an organization must do everything in our power to increase the financial sufficiency of Wes- tern's yearbook. We feel our sales increases and an upsurge in group participation in the book have more than started us in that direc- tion. We do not feel that the THRESHOLD deserves to die an early death because sudden- ly money is tight elsewhere, nor have to lose its hard earned momentum because people want to see if it will come back to life once they kill iii,-QEAlf',E 5 fills iv Z.. 775s Jw.---NQQ , A ,' f V, w .

It is for these people and any others that may come to appreciati Unique Media Denied Of Second Chances WMU's yearbooks in the future, that we of the THRESHOLD staff express the belief that Western should NOT now abandon the in- strument that has so effectively preserved its past out of temporary and correctable financial concerns. Nor do We feel Western can afford to forget, and therefore relegate to instant extinc- tion, the future of a Western Michigan Univer- sity that is still becoming. We only hope that by the time this book is printed and released on Western's campus that future THRESHOLDS are not part of the irre- coverable past that now threatens us all. i L . : i i E K 5 E I 1 1 F n r 2 2 2 s 5 Q 1 r?

Summer - Fun Times, New Friends, Quiet Trees And Warm Grass I love it. I love being here in the summer. I always thought that going to school in the summer would be a drag, but its not. If you've never gone to summer term at W.M.U., you're probably thinking she's a fool and maybe you're right. There are a few things, however, that you should know in order to have the best time possible. First of all, take a light class load. There's nothing worse than being cooped up inside Sangren Hall on a terrific summer day. It's pretty hard to keep your mind on your class when you really want to be on the tennis courts or at Lake Michigan, or on your ten speed. Secondly, if you are allowed to, live off campus. It's a great way to try out new roommates for the fall and to meet a group of people that are sure to become your close friends. Believe it or not, you can meet a whole lot of new people during sum- mer term. Admittedly, there aren't too many people on campus, but those who are here are friendly and looking for parties and things to do. There is not much to do on campus since only one dorm is open, but the campus isn't really as dead as it seems. True, there's only two to three thousand people here, but there is a lot of activity going on that you may not notice. The dorms are getting face lifts with new paint jobs and carpeting. The ever changing streets on campus are filled with road blocks and construction crews are busy trying to get the new by- pass behind Sangren complete before twenty thousand students descend on the campus to tie everything up. It's always fun to see the new freshmen here for orientation. It seems like it was just last year when I went through the same ordeal, but it was three and a half years ago. The feeling of being lost or wondering if you'll ever find your place in this madhouse they call Western Michi- gan University keeps running through your mind. The greatest part of summer term is the relaxed atmosphere that is seen everywhere. The profs leave their ties at home, cut-offs are the prevalent student attire, and outside parties are the norm. But most im- portant, there's time for just laying in the grass. - Lisa Widrig Freshman Orientation - I Didn't Know The Difference Between The Health Center Ai b IH, ,. M.

And The Administration Buil I am one of the 2,886 people who all seemed to be in the same position Freshmen. Only I fooled them. Today was the first day of orientation. I feel like a big kid now! I made everybody think I was older than I really am. My sister's ID card from last year was all I needed. After all, shekind of looks like me. My group all thought I was their student leader. I thought about it for awhile and I couldn't fig- ure out how I could give a tour of WMU when I didnit know the differ- ence between the health center and the administration building. Finally, I had to tell them that I really wasn't their leader. I didn't want to get my fellow freshmen anymore mixed up than we already were. Tonight we're supposed to go see a set of slide shows and skits put on by the student leaders. After that who knows. We have free time to do what- ever we want. No time limit!! NO PARENTS!! I feel sorry for all those people heading for a hard night because they ll also have a hard time tomor row Placement tests financial inter views, and minority student meet- ings are planned. Furthermore, cata- logs and schedules are to be handed out. This is what everyone is waiting for. What a pain! After that, a gener- al education meeting is planned to help us newcomers to check out some of the many classes Western has to offer. As if we really cared. Rightl? I think school is the farthest thing from our minds. What else are we gonna do? Oh yes. A tour beginning with the academic department dis- plays comes next. Then, come some of the main buildings on campus. How I'1l ever, ever find my way around I'll never know. The last day we're suppose to sign up for classes. YUK! The good part of it is we're going to get our mug shots taken for ID's, so I'll have my very own. I won't have to pretend anymore. I'll be a big college kid. - Vicki Bailey J fi fi If Only The Millions S Were Spectator The silence is deafening at soccer games, as the only sounds heard by the players is the noise they made themselves, as it echoes off the emp- ty seats in Waldo Stadium. No one is there to cheer on the weary runners of the cross country team, nor are there very many urging the girl's field hockey or volleyball teams on. Only basketball in Read Fieldhouse, foot- ball in Waldo Stadium, and ice hock- ey in the new Recreation Building draw close to a full house. WMU has eleven different facili- ties for varsity and intramural sports, all of which are in excellent condition for participants and spec- tators alike. Two new ones were add- ed this year alone. The Recreation Building encompasses the Harry W. Lawson Ice Arena and the Edward A. Gabel Natatorium and Kanley Track, a nine lane, quarter mile, all weather, outdoor track and site of the 1975 MAC track championships. Kanley Track, completed this fall, replacing the old track torn out at Waldo Stadium, during the addition of more seating there, brings outdoor track meets back to Westem after a one year absence. Besides the run- ning surface it has rings for shot put, discus, and hammer throw, and pits for high jumping and pole vaulting. Upon completion it will seat twenty- five hundred fans to send Western! through its home season. The ice 'arena named after WMU's first hockey coach has a two hundred foot by eighty-five foot plexi-glassed enclosed ice surface and room for for- - ty-five hundred screaming hockey fans. The Natatorium named for WMU's first swimming coach, has a one hundred twenty foot pool with a movable bulkhead for separating the .diving from the swimmers. It has two one-meter boards and one three-me- ter board and seven hundred fifty aluminum backed seats for the plea- sure of the hardy fans. The pool is built to university standards and is a high class pool, capable of holding any type of swimming event whether intramural meets or championship meets for league. f -- ..- ,AI AW.-'Q ' X a--..

Oakland Gym, where my of the women's athletic sports ents are held has never seen ough people to create more noise an the team itself as they go on to ztory. lt is questioned why, with such nited spectator interest, the ath- ,ic department gets new facilities ffore the hard pressed College of ne Arts for example, which is the stest growing yet, least equipped campus. One answer is that the ree athletic improvements fRecre- ion Building, Kanley Track, im- ovements on Waldo Stadiuml were r the three strongest sports on mpus, track, football, and hockey. ecause of the basicly unused seat- g added to Waldo Stadium the old ack was tom out and then of course eeded replacing. The hockey team npposedly needed a closer and bet- . 'Q A- 1 Q Q Q ffl.. ll - Y Q if 5, ' .. y- - l , v xxx s ning, .- X3 ter place to play than the Kalamazoo Ice Arena. Another answer was that these additions were planned before the College of Fine Arts was even started 119721 and therefore had been planned and financed before its es- tablishment. The last reason given was that the athletic department is self-supporting and basketball, foot- ball and hockey draw enough to keep it that way and one way to do it is to give them facilities in order to keep the money rolling in. All in all Westem's athletic facili- ties are in fine shape. Only the spo1'ts themselves in most instances are lacking in support from the students and if enough publicity is given to these sports possibly they too will generate most interest and garner more of the headlines. The other fa- cilities are used as follows: Gary Cen- ter, men's physical education, intra- muralsg Oakland Field, women's field hockey, women's physical edu- cationg Haymes Field, baseball, Goldsworth Field, soccer, and the I.M. Fields. All outdoor intramural sports are frequently used by West- ern's Athletic Department, both var- sity and intramural level and all of them deserve the support of West- ern's students. he-W - ery lk Q .giv - s.g--,....,-u.zwef- TT , '+a,..e.-.A-:si L. ,.-:..f-. --- The annual spring football pair-off between the first and second string varsity teams ended spring training on the normal optimistic note. The scrimmage left most spectators with a favorable outlook for the coming season as both the first string offense and defense consistently, if not spec- tacularly, picked their counterparts into managable mouthfuls. As in the past rushing plays formed the vast majority of the team's repertoire, with passing relegated to a secondary fno pun intendedl role. Predictably the starters looked good against a group of primarily sophomores and freshmen, but the questions in every fan's mind dealt with how they would fare against some of the pow- ers ofthe MAC. ,kfifffwff - WM, ' ' 4 wi'fJ?7?1 S1fM'-f Wv.. .- 1.Qgs,., 1 , ,,,:ff-qfxas-ru V N -,J1.Qlf.-Q .- 7,2 V ': -.

K- . . r , Wg, vw -44, WW' WMU Finances - Stretching Dollars . The state of our nation's econ- omy worsens each week. Inflation and recession have effected ever- yone and everything: Money is in greater supply than ever, but spir- aling costs daily reduce the value of each dollar. Westem Michigan University is no exception when it comes to feeling this financial crunch. Revenues from the state, students, and other sources, are higher than ever, yet the money is buying less and paying fewer salar- ies as rising expenses outdistance plateauing revenues. All of this places Western in the position of needing to raise more money from the state and other sources even as these funds are dwindling and making it nearly impossible to maintain its hard earned and con- sistently above average services to its students, staff, and community during these hard pressed times. The university receives revenues from the state, students, and a few other miscellaneous sources amounting to close to sixty million dollars a year. The state contri- butes over half of this sum but has been forced into budgetary cut- backs due to the loss of the state's sales tax on food and drugs and unexpected drops in the state in- come tax because of the country's economic slump. Since Michigan's constitution does not allow deficit spending the state has had to cut back on money previously ex- pected to be appropriated to the state schools, as well as withdraw- ing funds appropriated for expan- sion or new facilities but not yet spent. This automatically sets Westem's proposed Fine Arts buildings and new College of Busi- ness out in the cold. About a quarter of WMU's revenues come from the students in the form of tuition and dorm fees, and this percentage 'is considered nearly optimum. Asking for more money from an already inflation riddled and employment hungry student body would put such a hardship on many students that it would force more out of school, therefore caus- ing the opposite of its desired ef- fect. The University's few other sources of revenue, such as athletic gate receipts, parking meters, and the student unions are considered fairly static. Westem spends over sixty per- cent of its budget on faculty salar- ies. The operaton and mainten- ence of the campus, including the upkeep of buildings and the pay- ment of staff salaries eat up an- other twenty percent. Expenses in the category of Auxilliary Activi- ties cover the maintenance of the dorms and athletic' facilities, sup- port of the Athletic Department, and financial backing for the Uni- versity Police Department. Stu- dent aid annually amounts to over three million dollars in the form of scholarships, loans and employ- ment for students qualified for such funds. The Student Services area of the university has a yearly budget in excess of two million dollars to support the different campus organizations as well as instituting many of its own ser- vices, programs and activities. The General Fund feeds money into the three campus media organizations WIDR, Herald and Threshold. All the other organizations request funds through the Student Budget and Allocations Committee that distributes the monies collected through student assessments. All of these various drains on Wes- rn's finances are experiencing lily rises in expenses, but with- .t a similar rise in their corre- ondin g revenue categories. WMU's administration is faced th a need to either cutback in penses, and thus services, or to ake up additional revenue. Mak- g additional revenue can not be sily accomplished in today's ght money market, so the univer- ay is forced to reappraise their iorities and determine where tbacks can occur without hin- ring Western's ability to teach a studentsg obviously its primary lrpose. Westem is already rated as one the lowest salaried schools in e state when it comes to faculty. ren so the outlook for significant ises is at best doubtful since the iiversity cannot afford salary in- eases at a time when its own idget is being curtailed. This di- rnma alone may force some fa- lty members to migrate to gher paying institutions. Cutsin e Auxilliary Activities budget e next to impossible with main- nance costs rising and the Uni- rsity commited to improving its hletic facilities and police de- rtment. Student Aid will be ore needed than ever. Student ervices will, however, suffer some cuts in the General Fund. But such cuts will not be' of the magnitude expected in the academic areas of the university where President Bemhard has already ordered a hiring freeze for the university, precluding replacing anyone who decides to leave the employment of Western. The number and var- iety of classes will be the most no- ticable cutback as larger more crowded classes become the norm. This will help to both cut the cost per capita of classes and also make up for any instructors who fail to be replaced due the freeze. The only making up of revenue will be a small raise in dorm rates and an increase in out of state tui- tion. The rise in tuition is neces- sary because the state now de- mands that state supported schools pay for seventy-five per- cent of the cost of a non-residents education, and the increased dorm rates will to a great extent reflect rising food costs. Everyone is caught up in the same double edged problem. First it was simply a problem of rising costs, now the added burden of stringent revenues has served to multiply the difficulties. Faculty members are living with rising prices and little hope of early, sig- nificant raises. Students are find- ing themselves caught between paying more for their education while enjoying less opportunity to find employment in order to gain an income. The administrationtoo is caught in the middle of trying to maintain an acceptable level of services while suffering a substan- cial loss in net revenues. The combined effects of reces- sion and inflation have forced Western into decisive action. The result will be cutbacks in nearly all fields of service that the university offers and increased efforts to raise revenues merely to offset inflation- ary losses. These changes will uri- doubtedly detract from Western's ability to serve both its students and the society it trains them for, but if it continues to display the fiscal awareness and sensible man- agementthat it has in the past, WMU should survive relatively unscathed its Worst financial diffi- culties since becoming a Univer- sity. ag' . I Applied Sciences -What Do You Think O Damn car! I knew I shou1d've never bought a foreign car. Maybe it's only a loose distributor wire. Hmmm. . .I wonder where the distributor wires are. Maybe the battery's dry. No, that's not it. I know! It's probably out of gas. Hell, I can't even get it to turn over. It sure is dark out here. I wish I was on a main road. I'm going to get the hell out of here. Maybe I should register for an auto tech. class. When someone says College of Applied Sciences to you, what do you think of? These and many more areas of study should come to mind: Agri- culture, Military Science, Food Dis- tribution, Aviation, Engineering and Technology, Home Economics and many more. Students in the College of Applied Sciences learn more than just theory. They get actual training that pre- pares them to step out of the class- room into a job. Almost every stu- dent graduating from the College of Applied Sciences finds a position immediately. Even teachers coming out of the College have relative ease in finding jobs, much easier than in- structors in other areas. The College of Applied Sciences does work on a strict University budget but outside help from con- cerned businesses is accepted by the 0 Y ll' . l pg. . H, - x I .'l'fU-gtk, ui , , I A Helping Hand The Occupational Therapy depart- ment here, at Western, claims the third oldest curriculum in existence. Currently, there are two hundred and five students seeking an under- graduate degree and thirty-six more students who are engaged in the master's program. As part of the course requirements, occupational therapy students have to take part in two, three-month affiliations. I' 5 iq The occupational therapy depart- ment's major role is to treat chronic and acute disabilities and they ac- complish this by engaging the person in his own treatment. Screening the patient, working with the parents, providing remediation activities, and teaching day-to-day survival skills, fosters independence in the person and helps minimize the pain for the family. The health related professions are becoming more pertinent today as society finds a way to include all its members. The O.T. department at Western is making a meaningful con- tribution by alleviating the affects of illness and making a disadvantaged individual a more productive mem- ber of our society. transportation . The Industrial Education Depart- ment offers students a background in Industrial orientated subjects. The Department prepares teachers and supervisors of general industrial arts and teachers of vocational sub- jects in high school and community colleges. Manufacturing, product develop- ment, energy conversion and con- struction are fields emphasized in the Mechanical Engineering Tech- nology Department. The College of Applied Sciences encompasses many areas of study. Some of its departments are consid- ered to be among the best in the United States. The College of Ap- plied Sciences here at Western Mich- igan University is preparing gradu- ates for the futureg not only their personal future, but also the world's future. '11 ,T . r P P. Lx if I .

I College Of Arts And Science college consists of twenty separate departments, the two largest being English and Communications Arts and Sciences. It covers many differ- ent areas of studyg all the way from Speech Pathology to Economics. The College of Arts and Sciences seeks to introduce their students to specializations in the various discip- lines. Another of their main goals is to provide graduates who contribute to the professional training of other colleges. There are many students who are not in the college proper but take classes that come under the Arts and Sciences Departments. Many Teach- lllm ers Education majors take courses that are controlled by the collegeg usually in the English or Communi- cations departments. Many other curriculums require credit hours from the Biology, Geography, or one of the other Science Departments. Also all foreign languages come un- der the College of Arts and Sciences. The Dean of the college, Dr. Come- lius Loew, is aware that many stu- dents come out of the college not ful- ly aware of what they want. They haven't decided what career to pur- sue or how to go about getting start- ed in their chosen career. In the past the responsibility for career planning fi and placement was left up to W ern's Placement Office. First of all, the college is toward providing the students with wide variety of courses so they cail branch off into many different areas after graduation. With this type pro, gram the student is not trained for 3 specific skill. They're more prepare for an area of work instead of a cer- tain job.

The College of Arts and Science hopes that the Ca- reer Planning assistance will instill faith in the college and its overall programs with their students. Career Planning is an addition to the college that should be an improvement and will help the students. It's the largest and probably the most diversified of all the colleges at Westem Michigan University. Look into it sometime.

Classes are okay and partying isn't bad either, but I sure would like to get out into the business world with a job, my own apartment and a chance to put all this studying to work. Just think - I could be a business executive one day soon and enjoy all the freedom of someone who knows what they are doing and get- ting that job done well. Just one more semester Good-bye studying, hello world! The College of Business, offering one of the best business programs in the state, is the eighteenth largest business school in the United States and is held in high na- tional regard. The undergraduate program is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business and the attainment of graduate accreditation is forseeable in the near future. There are five academic departments in the college: Accountancy, Business Edu- cation and Administrative Services, Gen- eral Business, Management and Market- ing. There are seventy-two full-time facul- ty members teaching in these depart- 28 Q., WORKSHOP ,. 'GJ F vi, . I ,.. Efiixflf '-z 1. qi- T 1 I l . Ll -i n-:gh ments of which forty-three posess eamed doctorates. Although the faculty- student ratio is high, the faculty does an efficient job in teaching by effectively communicat- ing the material across to the students as well as counseling their students about courses and future jobs. Society has gravitated to business-re- lated careers and the local Kalamazoo businessmen have helped the College of Business in placing their students in in- ternship programs. The students are given responsible positions in which they are an active participant in the running of the business. The positions are temporary, yet often, the internships become permanent positions because the company is pleased with the work done by the student, so upon graduation, the student has a full- time job. Being in such a program has helped students get real-life experience X in business, another one of the College of Business' highly advanced programs. A student can earn a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Busi- ness Administration in the College of Business. Two graduate degrees are also offered: The Degree of Master of Science in Business Administration, which allows heavy specialization in a functional discip- line and the Master of Science in Accoun- tancy which gives a broad preparation for Business. There is also the Specialist of Arts in Business Education which is de- signed to educate teachers for community colleges. The college is headed by a new dean, Dr. Darrell G. Jones, who succeeded the retir- ing Dr. Arnold Schneider. Since becoming dean, Dr. Jones has helped establish an active Alumni Association, Business Advi- sory Councils, the Black Business Stu- 29 gl.--W dents and the Women in Business organizations. The major concerns of these organizations as well as the col- lege is student selection, placement and success in societyg other than supplementing the present organiza- tion ofthe College of Business and updating the programs already of- fered. There are no new needs at this time, except for a new facility, which has been talked about for four years. A West Campus site will be chosen for the building, but at the rate infla- tion is going, the cost will triple the original cost discussed when the building was first proposed. ii One of the most impressive facts about the college is the high quality of the students who graduate from it. Those who take the Certified Public Accountancy test score among the highest of all participants and gradu- ates of WMU's College of Business are recruited by all the largest com- panies in the area. Over six thousand WMU business alumnae are em- ployed within a fifty mile radius of Kalamazoo which illustrates how well the College of Business has suc- ceeded in providing a sound, profes- sional education for its students . -N.. ll Sllllli - -'s 'r5 '-.Q5':- .. . mfg? ,vs A if ,Iwi ,xl '-Q l Wi. A p erious Handicap? Blindness 'has always been considered a serious hand- icap in the past, but programs such as the one here at Western Michigan University are beginning to destroy that stereotype. C . There are two basic curriculums in this field offered at WMU. The first deals with orientation and mobility, the second concems teaching blind rehabilitation. Recent activities relate to experimenting andl field testing the use of binaural ultrasonic sensors as travel aids for blind persons. The Western graduate program for rehabilitation teachers is unique in that it continues to be the only one of its kind in the world. At the present time there are 10 universities offering orientation and mobility programs, eight of which are under the leadership of WMU gradu- ates. The significant research and training being done at Westem may some day find a way to totally over- come the obstacle of blindness in today's world. . . ir it III-i ' :Hgpv f5??f . v 1 'uf-.J ,Q . l.vy ,,,..

What a dilemma! I never knew there was this much in- volved in going to college. I don't even know what my major requires - this catalog is a bitch to understand. Then there's all this general required something or other. How do I know what I want to take? Videotapes on this, lectures on that. Damn! Iwishl had gone through all this before! Col- lege used to be so easy. The College of General an Studies, one of the newest Colleges on cam- pus, was established in 1970. The purpose of the College is to help stu- dents fulfill the general education re- quirement necessary for graduation. It is a non-degree granting college which provides interdisciplinary sub- ject matterg introductory as well as advanced courses in everyi subject. Few universities in the country synthesize knowledge in 'the way Western does with a College of Gen- eral Studies. The College relates all aspects of knowledge to the sociologi- cal area to help interrelate the courses with today's society as well as attempting to relate different courses. This synthesis was underta- ken to help students interpret the world around them and many if not all of the pertinent problems it may present to them. All the knowledge is based on subject matters that are vir- tually unknown to students before entering the College of General Stu- dies and' such introduction often , V ' xv- -- w ,,,-, ,orld Explorations An Abandoned Alternativ After a two year trial period WMU no longer sponsors the World Explor- ations Program. Bom in the fa1l'of 1973 in cooperation with the Ameri- can Institute for Exploration, it was designed to acquaint students with the drama of discovery occuring at todays frontiers of knowledge. But it did more than that, Not only did it acquaint many students with explor- ing through field trips and expedi- tions such as the one program coor- dinator, Dr. Ted Bank led to Alaska's Bering Sea each summer, but it also gave them opportunities to' learn by doing and to experience not only the outside world of experience but about themselves as well. Yet, the program is no more. Shor- tages of funds and low enrollments proved to be fatal for Westem's World Exploration Program, and once again a worthwhile form of al- ternative education had to be aban- doned here at WMU. 1 f, lx I fre! 0-x f A ' 1 r f . pg ,I .x ,. ,fee yL.,.,, . ..,f-1, '-- , rage, 'I r,,. rig! rw-B ynthesizing Diverse Requirements if . : Q ' z . ir. , - ' l , A . . 1 l -.

The College is often attacked, however, by under- graduates because of its methods of synthesization. Undergraduates to- day desire vocational training in order to obtain a job in the future. The Collegeiserves all students re- gardless of their majors or minors. Seventy- three percent ofthe seventy faculty members hold doctoral de- grees in more than one subject, so the college is able to provide an extensive enough program that it incorporates many major and minor courses within it. The faculty is constantly trying to improve the interrelation of subject matter. The College is thus able to provide students with a depth of spe- cific knowledge, while providing each individual with material broad en- ough to cover any subject matter area. It is generally agreed that upon graduation, student of W.M.U. should hold knowledge in a specific area and at the same time be able to relate their knowledge with the world around them, based on their own va- lue structure. The College of General Studies is trying to provide such a chance for individuals at W.lVl.U., thus enabling each student a better chance at handling life in the future. .. ,7 ,L -3 1' -I am A College Without Courses, Students, Or Facult Where can you find a college with- out courses, students, or faculty? Right here on the campus of Western Michigan University. The name it goes by is the Graduate College. The college hires no faculty - that is left up to the individual departments. It offers no courses, just seminars. Once a person is admitted into the grad college, he enters into the department of his choice and be- comes a student of that college until he has completed his graduate requirements. The grad college came into exist- ence in 1939. Its programs were first offered in cooperation with the Uni- versity of Michigan. These co-op programs continued until 1952, when WMU was able to break away and grant its own Masters degree in Edu- cation. In 1960, WMU became au- thorized to have programs leading to Specialist degrees and in 1966 to Doctor degrees in the fields of liberal arts and education. During this time, the programs weren't the only part of the graduate college that was grow- ing - its size was too. In 1952, it boasted three hundred students and today, it has approximately forty- two hundred people enrolled. The main purpose of the Grad lege is to admit students into ate work to obtain their Specialists, or Doctorate degrees also makes and keeps relations with federal and professional a cies.

And who's ever been known tum down an offer for more money frrA.5g,.gof li l Times Sure Are Changin' Times sure are changin', and WMU is moving right along with them. One of the more recent devel- opments at Western has been the option in many graduate programs for the students not to write a thesis paper. The most recent entrant into this option is for a masters degree in Biology. For now, the thesis paper is optional, but for the future, the biol- ogy department is planning an unu- sual twist that no other optional pro- gram offers. This twist would be to get the student to have published a manuscript in an accepted joumal. A student would still have to go through conducting and presenting research results but it would prove more beneficial to the student than a thesis paper. This method would also get more information published that should be and help build up WMU's reputation. Though this concept is still in its planning stages, its future looks bright and would definitely take away much the grad student must now go through in order to ob- tain his degree. 0,12 .rJ ' nj.,-rp The Honors College makes it possi- ble for exceptional students to en- gage in all the resources W.M.U. has to offer. It allows the student to have a better working relationship with the faculty, and opens up opportuni- ties that would otherwise be out of reach. It also offers an alternate, more flexible way of completing the requirements set by the University. There are several programs to choose from, including Independent Study, Honors Seminar, and as an altema- tive to the General Studies required for all W.M.U. students is the Gener- al Education Honors Program. Alternatives is the name of the game for the Honors College as it ful- fills its role as a catalyst in W.M.U.'s academic endeavors. n Alternativ A Second Profession . . . The Department of Military Sci- ence offers an entire academic curric- ulum to all students at Western. It has grown from processing just over fifty cadets last year to seventy-six. The Department has also changed its credit system from one hour per two hours of class and field exercises to an hour's credit for an hour's work. The department has now begun to offer a minor in Military Science for non-cadet students. All of the cours- es of the department are open to all students of Western. Scholarships offered by the depart- ment have a two or four year plan of- fering complete payment of tui room and board and books for two or four years in .school with ji and senior years paying a hun dollars a month with a second tenant ranking in the U.S. Army only two years commit rnent with Army. There are no obligations i the junior year with the option leaving anytime before. The department is on the rise cause it offers a second profes once out of school that a student always come back to once the years of obligation are up. Un standably, since the end of Amer direct involvement in any direct ' tary engagements, the departme Military Science has been on the at Western Michigan University. I' Libraries And Student Unions TITLE l IA Need a book, supplies, or just a meeting place? If so, the union is the direction to head because it offers a wide variety of services to fill stu- dents individual needs. The main lounge serves as a study area that usually proves to be quite active. Therels a candy store in the base- ment for filling your sweet tooth and a bookstore above stuffed with every- thing from sweat-shirts to ten cent pencil sharpeners. There are two oth- er unions, besides the one at the Student Center, which serve the same purpose, but on a much smaller scale. The oldest of these is Walwood Union located on East Campus and the other is the Valley I snack bar, the newest union to be serving stu- dents needs. Maybe you desire an atmosphere of solitude. This may be found in a library where all the information you want is at your fingerips. There are a number of libraries on campus to choose from. Waldo is the largest and most frequented. However there are four smaller libraries specializing in the areas of music, science, business and education in case your informa- tional needs are more specific. Depending on your needs, and sometimes just your moods, WMU has the materials and locations for your favorite style of study, be it reading anatomy over a balony sand- wich in the lounge of the Student Center or watching the librarians strain to put someone else's reference Jook on a top shelf in Waldo.

During this year, sident Bernhard and his family e become familiar and welcome es in the Kalamazoo community, ecially as Dr. Bemhard says, en the community is as friendly well receiving as Kalamazoo has n. his first year, Dr. Bernhard has o become keenly aware of the de- ds of the university and he is icating himself on a fulltime basis meet these demands. He is fully are of the economic problems ich beset universities everywhere, particularily those problems ich are unique to Westem. And, ough the problems are complex, h as the administration's conten- that we do not receive an equita- share of state appropriations and lude efforts being made to project ew and modern image for Western chigan University throughout the ire state, they are hardly insur- untable. And, while these prob- s are extremely difficult, John hard nonetheless sees them as a cinating challenge, which he plans tackle in his future years with stern Michigan. et us look closer now at the dilem- ALMS' e 359 .Lg X., , if-t ,gfalfo .e EQ , L mas, which rest exclusively on the shoulders of John Bemhard as presi- dent of one of Michigan's largest un- iversities. First and foremost, has to be the economy, which has taken a dynamic grasp upon every facet of our university. To meet these prob- lems, President Bernhard proposes that we must expand our energies in order to expose the university to a greater amount of people than we have in the past years. Most impor- tantly, there must be new efforts to awaken the legislature to the merits of Western Michigan so that we may receive a more equitable share from the appropriations . Also, in the works is a plan to create a Western Foundation which will centralize and coordinate the growing amount of contributions given to the university by alumni and friends. President Bernhard has gi- ven instructions for the creation of a new university magazine which will not only give us much more public exposure, but add to a new and ever- changing image of our university in the 197O's. Dr. Bemhard is still optimistic that Western can obtain a law school on our campus. This again, would re- flect very much upon concerted ef- forts to influence the legislature more favorably towards Western. President Bemhard's optimism does not stop with academics, while being very enthusiastic towards the fine arts that surround the university and the entire community, Dr. Bern- hard thought a good athletic program can only benefit this university. This comes internally through the univer- sity family rallying behind a success- ful sporting team. It can also behoove the university on a national level as the sporting programs become more attractive. Indeed, this has been a unique year for both John Bernhard and Westem Michigan University. Under his con- tinued leadership and guidance, Westem should proceed to advance through the trying years of the next decade. V.P. Coulter - A Healthy Attitude Dr. Myron L. Coulter, Vice Presi- dent of Administration, is a strong and dedicated executive as well as an approachable and likeable indivi- dual. In his duties as Vice President of Administration, Dr. Coulter super- vises every employee of the univer- sity. Dr. Coulter, with other adminis- trators, conducts the business of WMU, making sure the people he employs are of the highest possible standards in regard to either scholas- tic quality or administrative excel- lence. Dr. Coulter sees Westem as a leader in the field of higher educa- tion, but in light of present economic troubles, Dr. Coulter asserts that we must preserve a margin of excel- lence throughout the entire acade- mic community. This might mean more discreet hiring practices as well as a readjustment of departmental Facing A Serious Challenge - V.P. itchell Dr. Stephen R. Mitchell is Vice- President of Academic Affairs. His responsibilities lie directly in the educational process and the alloca- tion of funds to differing depart- ments. Now in his second year in this position, Dr. Mitchell has seen many of his programs come into being at Western. For instance, classroom in- struction periods are now Mondays through Thursdays, while Friday classes and activities are almost non- existant campus wide. This affords the university staff and students the opportunity of a three-day weekend, and the program so far has been greeted with enthusiastic praise. One serious challenge Dr. Mitchell must face is his continued effort to promote the educational excellence of Western Michigan University, a job made increasingly difficult in light of the university's failure to keep pace with inflation. Like other administrators, Dr. Mit- chell sees change and growth in the future for the academic community. One area in which the university may expand is in its efforts to cater more to part-time students. With the out- side job market being quite scarce, many former students are now re- turning to school while still holding temporary jobs. To Dr. Mitchell, this should be one of the projects WMU should pursue with great zeal as full- time student enrollments decline in an era of economic depression. priorities. Dr. Coulter speculates that tl student could benefit from the pr sent economic conditions in the lor run. The trend is developing amor many faculty members to remain st ble within the university structu: and to initiate more research in the particular fields. The question Dr. Coulter asks How do we keep our own progran high and still fund them? 'I e must be a deliberate effort to ac tuate the continued importance other university programs, such the arts and athletics that can mote a superior image upon the o versity environment. The ahead will definitely be a peri d change for all people in the un sity, but considering the dedic: and healthy attitude of Dr. Coul shall also be a period of growth. S .P.

Robert Wetnight maintains a Jverful position within the adminis- tion of W.M.U. As Vice-President Finance, Mr. Wetnight oversees : vast financial and economic nmitments for the entire univer- y. Phe great challenge Mr. Wetnight ist meet rests in the competing 'nomic demands from each univer- ,I department. With other admin- ?ators, Mr. Wetnight co-ordinates e fiscal priorities for our university ight of present inflationary condi- ns. Jne of the major issues presented Vlr. Wetnight this year is the chal- ge of the parietal rule for freshmen l sophomores, compelling them to 2 in university dormitories. In a .troversial issue such as this, Mr. tnight contends that the univer- sity has an ethical responsibility to complete the financial obligations the university committed itself to when there was a tremendous de- mand for dormitory housing. In light the present economic con- ditions, Mr. Wetnight is cautious rather than pessimistic toward the continued growth of the university as a whole. There must be change to grow in academics, as Mrg Wetnight sees it. While accelerated expansion is not forseen in the near future for the university, there may be a reor- dering of priori-ties of existing depart- ments as the demands change in the upcoming years. However, the 1960's are behind us, says Mr. Wetnight, and Westem must grow from within to maintain the high standards of the past. trends in academic interest, so too will Student Services change with the times. Mr. Coyne forsees many more students attending college on a part time basis in the years ahead, some attending only weekends. For these students, Mr. Coyne suggests that his office may set up a day-care center for children. Another area of concem will be programs that cater to the interest of the growing ranks of graduate students. Still, Mr. Coyne reflects that we maintain our interest and flexibility with the traditional student, those eighteen to twenty years olds who make up the solid core of the Univer- sity enrollment. According to Mr. Coyne, the con- tinued success of Student Services depends largely upon departmental appropriations, student interest and student concern. I ,- fi. A Wide Range Of Concer The eight members of Western's Board of Trustees represent, as a group, a wide range of concerns. To- gether they form the unified govern- ing body of the institution. The eight members of the board, with the ap- proval of the State Legislature, are appointed by the Govemor and serve an eight year term, with a new trus- tee appointed every two years. Since the Board has control of ev- ery activity and issue on campus, they have a full agenda for each of their monthly meetings. They affirm policies made by the faculty senate, and also handle changes of titles, salaries, retirements and resigna- tions. They also give approval of new buildings and any other improve- ments made on campus, approve fi- nancial expenditures and receipts by the university and set tuition and dorm rates to be paid by the stu- dents. The major thrust of most Board activities is to either give the go ahead or to thwart many of the proposals presented by the various administrative departments of the University and to oversee the imple- mentation of any and all activity that affects Western.

Many people are often confused about the pronounciation of Om- budsman and in their attempt to do so, usually don't realize who or what the University Ombudsman is or the function of that office. Dr. Phillip Kramer has succeeded Dr. Milton J. Brawer this fall as Om- budsman. Dr. Kramer was in the So- cial Work Department before being appointed to the office. Having been in a departmental situation, he rea- lizes what a narrow view people in individual departments have con- cerning how the University functions. Because of his background, he also finds himself gaining perspective in which to work more aggressively. Dr. Kramer finds his work extremely sa- tisfying because of his field exper- ience in Social Work and the applica- tion of this experience in an acade- mic area which the job of Ombuds- man provides. Dr. Kramer has four major con- cems for his two years in office. One of the most necessary to complete is the attempt to better publicize the office. Most students seem to read the signs which can be found all over campus, but they either do not fully understand the office's purpose or don't make use of the office. Another of Dr. Kramer's purposes is to help implement policies more carefully. For exampleg students seem unable to clearly interpret the new legisla- tion for students and Dr. Kramer is working on a program to help bring them in contact with and to under- stand the new policies. Legal aid for students especially in the way of ad- vice is another of Dr. Kramer's con- cems. Many students are unable to afford legal advice and the Ombuds- man would like to help provide these services by lawyers found through his office. The University Ombudsman, as an office, assists individuals who have conflicts facing the Administration and feel that they have no alterna- tives. Both the faculty members and students use the services of the Om- budsman, but the students have the largest percentage of grievances. These individuals are advised by the Ombudsman or referred to someone who would be better able to help them in specialized areas. The office acts impartially, it does not advocate either the students or the Adminis- tration. Many different cases are handled each year. Approximately one-third of all the cases are grade grievances, but other examples are financial aid, housing, non-academic, procedural and general problems, as well as se- veral others. Having no formal attachment to any administrative structure but the President, the Ombudsman is unique in his independence and powers. Though powerful, the Ombudsman is unable to reverse or waive decisions and actions made by others, but uses the methods of persuasion and re- commendation to gain satisfactory results. The Ombudsman has access to all records but medical and coun- selling records and use their power to cut red-tape which individuals are of- ten required to go through to reach a result. From Councils To Committees To Polici fr ., Faculty Senate is a representative organization through which the fac- ulty may have a voice in the develop- ment of university policies. There are eighty elected representatives from each of the forty-eight departments. Most of the Senate's basic research is done by its Councils and Commit- H-. ,-15. J ,ffl ' Ji, T tees. They deal with such problems as campus planning, budget and fi- nance, teacher's salary and insur- ance. Policies are voted on by the representatives and then passed on to the Board of Trustees where they are affirmed or rejected. v-- rf V l 1sJi'- President of Faculty Senate Dr. Laurel Grotzinger Today In The News .

This has got to be it. Hey wow, I really like that winding stair- case. My God, where do I go from here? I think I'll start on top. The Housing Office? Well, first things firstg I suppose everyone needs a place to stay. The Housing Office here at Wes- tern consists of two separate divi- sions: Residence Hall Programming and Residence Hall Facilities. Resi- dence Hall Programming is run by Sally Pippen and is responsible for the hiring of all Staffs and A.D.'s in the university's dormitories. These people are also trained by the Pro- gramming office in areas such as counseling, organizing of activities, and discipline. During summer orien- tation, Programming provides ser- vices to the incoming freshmen, in- cluding a presentation of slides show- ing what can be expected from dor- mitory living. Residence Hall Facilities is the of- fice that controls all the physical aspects of campus housing. Should Davis Hall's lounge be remodeled? New Security doors in Britton- Hadley? Peep holes in all the doors? How about new fumiture for Married Housing, or a new contract for all the vending machines in the dormitories. All these decisions and more are the daily headaches faced by the Director of Housing Facilities, Robert Peter- son. Any student, whether married or otherwise living in university housing is contracted through Mr. Peterson's office and subject to many of the changes that arise through his deci- sions. One change that will go into affect next year for this office is the dropping of the university's parietal rule which required all freshmen and sophomores to live in the dormitories. All university housing complaints or suggestions are also handled by Mr. Peterson's office.

Also located in the Financial Aid Office is the office for Student Ern- ployment. Student Employment is a service provided for all students that compiles information on part time jobs available in the Kalamazoo area and make it available to interested students. In reality this office is an employment agency but it costs Wes- tern students nothing to use their ser- vices. The University Judiciaries, located on the Student Services Building's first floor, is the body that governs the actions of all University students, on or off campus. The conduct rules of Western's students are outlined in the Student Code of Life and any ac- tions considered to be in violation of this Code are reported to the Univer- sity. Judiciaries. The student is in- formed in Writing of his violation and he has the choice of having his case heard by his peers, the University Ju- diciaries which is a body of nine stu- dents, or by Charles Donnelly, Assis- tant Dean of Students. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the student will choose to go before Dean Donnelly. Suggestions for future policy making can be fed through the University Ju- diciaries by Donnelly. This office is also responsible for recommendations of students. Another college or poten- tial employer can 'get in touch with this office and receive a recommen- dation on the student's record. In this way the University Judiciaries can affect all students in one way or an- other. The orientation program at Wes- tern Michigan University is set up to benefit both the incoming student and the university and has its office next to Judiciaries. Each summer, approximately four thousand fresh- men and transfer students visit the campus during orientation. At this time, the university can learn what areas of studies the new students are HARLES DONNELLY ' llmffl - V , w-raaiisa-1-.--.4-af..-. ,......-,Mmm 'Ili 'I il I IL' .. '.

On the bottom floor of the Student Services Building you will find the office of many of the campus organi- zations. First there is the media, WIDR, Threshold, and Westem Her- ald, followed closely by Associated Student Government, Sky Broncos, Men's Union Board, and many, many more. Also located on the bot- tom floor is the Kiva room where many meetings, classes and special seminars are held. The counseling center in the Stu- dent Services Building is divided into coUNsEL1No CElNlTER 'x 3 we two categories, personal and acade- mic counseling. Academic counseling handles students who are still unde- cided on their curriculum. When they finally decide on a curriculum they are sent to their specific college of study for counseling. Personal coun- seling has increased dramatically in the last year. The Coimseling Center has increased its advertising and they are sending representatives into the Health Center, dormitories, and classes trying to reach the students in need. The Counseling Center also trains residence hall assistants to give advice to their residents and this is channeling more students to the L. 'Quin R center. Also within the Student Services building we find the Office of Stu- dent Activities. This office, headed by its Director Charles Stroup, pro- vides information for all students on campus. It coordinates and advises all campus organizations and activi- ties. Whether it's A.S.G., the Greeks, W.I.D.R., dormitories, or the Wes- tern Herald, they are all coordinated by the Office of Student Activities. The office handles the reserving of rooms for meetings, activities, mo- vies, etc. and also the use of all out- door facilities on the campus. If an organization wants, the office will also provide advisors, but this is not aff-rqixl 'lr' ' .

Vandalism alone has doubled in the past year becoming the largest single problem for the still relatively new department. Since July 1, 1973 when the University Department of Police was established, it has made large strides in organizing a well trained staff that is continually in ia process of expanding their qualifications as law enforcement officers. But law en- forcement is not always simply a matter of training, and the depart- ment feels it lacks the respect and cooperation of the student bodyg al- ways a necessary ingredient for effec- tive police work. Hopefully, Western students will come to realize that the department is for them . . . not against. stponing Needed provements CT A-xg -':. -, 1 Q Tl r Like everyone else in this country WMU's Maintenance Department has felt the crunch of the energy shor- tage. University emphasis on cutting down energy consumption has put everyone from engineers to custo- dians working at turning down the heat and unscrewing light bulbs. But even the crunch has not put a halt to such projects as air conditioning in Sangren and the renovation of the administration building which are still proceeding even as the growing recession forces a freeze on university employment and the postponement of many other needed improvements at WMU. 1, -Q X -Q-.1 PTM 'S K Aw gif f ..,,- H M . . 11:95 - jygfq .ZLL 'T glliffyf ., M. ,F ., ge , L Ev Www 1'4 2' .. -'ff '- v., .uf M.: ww, .

L- lvv Every year a myriad of experiences befall all of us here at Western, and the Fall 1974 semester was no excep- tion. Each moment held its own live- ly magic and occasionally our photo- graphers were there to record some of the most important, several least im- portant, and even a few routine ones. For some, as former head football coach Bill Doolittle found out, it was a season of declining fortunes. Others enjoyed a variety of shows and activi- ties ranging from Henry Mancini's concert and Western's first black mu- sical Purlie , in Miller Auditorium, to a host of other individual and group activities too numerous to mention. In these next thirty odd pages con- stituting our Fall Features section we have hopefully captured enough of Fall '74 to make it come alive once again to all those who lived it with us, and to accurately represent it for those that didn't.

Parades, fritters, soapbox der- bies, reunions, pep rallies, and old fa- shioned carnivals reminded the old of homecomings gone by and gave the young an experience they will long remember. This year's Homecoming Commit- tee brought back the entertainment of ages gone byg periods in American history that are remembered as times when life was freer and easier. The twenties came to life with the flapper and gigolo contestg the forties were heard again when the Big Band Ca- valcade was at Millerg our own high school days of the sixties came back with a pep rally, bonfire, and parade. Of course the Western traditions of soapbox derbies, fritter fests, and a football game brought back memories for recent alumni.

From the Faculty String Quartet, Bass Quintet, Wind Ensemble and the University Jazz Band, to New Struc- tures in Sound, University Singers, and Black Dance, WMU is regularly deluged with cultural delicacies.

GEILS Less Complaining And More Cooperation Concert selection is one cf the most talked about and complained about processes at Western. Almost ever- yone has an opinion about who was we weren't getting why we don't have more concerts, and why so few people are allowed to play at Miller. No one coming, why bigger groups, 'can figure out why we have such a poor concert schedule and close-by smaller schools such as Grand Valley State, have such a large and wide var- iety of perform ers. Many people have complained about some of the performers that come to Miller, saying that they aren t coming for the benefit of the students but for the Kalamazoo com- munity. Gordon Smith, the director of Miller Auditorium, explained the general university procedure for pick- ing performers was divided between three separate committees depending on the type of performer. The College of Fine Airts decides what cultural events are to appear at Westem which includes the Intemational Ser- ies guest symphonies and touring dance companies. The auditorium staff decides what popular attractions will appear. Concerts such as Robert Goulet plays such as Pippen and comedians like Lily Tomlin are all decided upon by Mr Smith and his staff Selections are based on pro posed performance fees contrasted to projected attendance They are not chosen to only satisfy the students and university community but to serve the entire Kalamazoo area The Student Concert Committee functions a little differently than the other controlling committees. The concert committee chooses its members from the student body Each committee hopeful must submit an application to the committee which then chooses its members. Mr tirely advisory. The concert commit- tee receives notices from professional agents as to what groups are available when and how much they charge. Since the Concert Committee works out of its own independent budget, the committee decides if the univer- sity populationlyvouldg pay to see the group, if they can break even, and how many tickets have to be sold. The committee is dedicated to bring- ing inexpensive entertainment to Western. That's whyWestem students will probably never see groups or in- dividual talents the likes of Jethro Tull or Led Zeppelin at Read. They simply cost to much. If the committee can break even by only selling three thousand to thirty- five hundred seats they check into having the concert at Miller. But a persistent and irritating problem about having concerts in Miller Audi- torium besides money are the da- mages incurred at student concerts. The auditorium is a beautiful place to see has perhaps the best acoustics of any auditorium in Michigan and seats thirty-five hundred people com- fortably.

'Westem's conservative stance in financing is another hin- drance. The concert committee how- ever, is always open to suggestions as to what groups students would like to see. They have even tried surveys, but due to Western students' typical lack of response they were almost use- less. Obviously what is needed on all sides is less complaining and more cooperation.

This fall certainly was no exception, with more charity activities then we could cover. Beta Alpha Psi, an accounting fra- ternity gave their time by helping the greater Kalamazoo United Fund Drive with their bookkeeping. Smith and Ernest Burnham Halls sponsored their second party for one hundred and fifty married housing and Kalamazoo Headstart children. Sigma Pi sponsored their second annual see-saw marathon this Sep- tember to raise money for ALSAC. AWS sponsored again this fall an Il all campus ALSAC drive. There were Halloween parties, swim marathons, and pie throwing contests. Draper-Siedschlag sponsored an all campus Pie-in-the-Face contest. The bi-annual blood drive spon- sored by Alpha Phi Omega came up two hundred and fifty pints short of their eleven hundred unit goal, but it was still a large contribution to the Red Cross. All in all, many of Western's stu- dents volunteered to help their neigh- bors, and often mere strangers. Peo- ple helping people is the name of the game, and a game that we here at Western always play on both sides, both giving and receiving, and a game that is often refreshing for any that are willing to get involved. f as sl USCB Week - No Ordinary Week Jean Batey and Sue Moore sang songs and looked pretty in front of the Student Center on a beautiful late summer dayg Abbott and Cos- tello and the Keystone Cops provid- ed free Tuesday night entertainment in the Valley One Snack Barg a gal- lery of art prints cluttered the Stu- dent Center all weekg Barbara Streis- and and George Segal sent guffaws through cheap movie crowds in San- gren Hall on Thursday night as they starred in Owl and the Pussycatg and the week capped itself off with a Fif- ties Dance approved by USCB and Threshold fyours trulyj in the East Ballroom starring the live band Moose and Da Sharks.

' Fall Sports of this year. Never before in the his tory of the school or the Athletic De- . Women's Athletics - They Have Arrived Women's athletics have arrived as V A'f' tA i'1'-tif p P' , I gg... partment have women been in any kind of light at Western. In prior years they have been ignored, re- jected, and shoved off into a comer where only upon careful inspection could they be seen at all. , To get a clearer picture of the si- tuation, we go back to 1961. Until then the only organized sports for WMU Women consisted of trips to the local YWCA, or involvement in summer leagues. In 1962, Westem Michigan University began competi- tion on the interrcollegiate level, with basketball and field hockey. At that time these sports were govemed by various committees who set stan- dards and govemed regulations and who in 1974 gave way to the National Division of Girls and Women's Sports INDGWSJ which now controls wo- men's intercollegiate sports. Since 1962 the program has expanded from just Field Hockey and Basketball to include,TracklField, Tennis, Volley- ball, Bowling, Swimming!Diving, Aqua Sprites, Synchronized Swimm- ing, Golf, and Gymnastics. All of these sports started as clubs and later matured- to the varsity division. A club cannot play more than four matches to stay on the club level and not be recognized by the NDGWS and the NCAA as varsity. I L , f 31 I si Western staff and individual pai cipants have incorporated their id- into a philosophy of emphasizing learning aspect of women's sports well as making use of their skil physical qualities, without monet compensation, contrary to men's a letics on this campus. Involvemen only compensated with pride ana not reimbursed in letter or fin cial rewards such as scholarshi There is no money making aspec' the women's sports and much car taken in avoiding this outlook. T sports are there strictly for those 1 P' 3,54 ' , , ' ' I T a-ii a.4-,.- , 4 .' 4-- 'i f' Q . ' 1 I 1 l W r- if -if ,v ii ff' is M 'D 'I ', lu . ,L W l f .-59 - QQ? 117 1 . PJ il f ,J lr-4 . E1 .

Success in the material sense isn't the main objective of women's athletics. They prefer to work toward a goal of teamwork and effort, build- ing pride without the push and de- mand for twinning teams, keeping sports at a level of simplicity that was intended and not the big busi- ness level of the today's men's sports. It is a world of little pressure to do well for the university, only to per- form at the highest level obtainable with the material at hand. The wo- men aren't there to entertain anyone or bring in money for the university, or fame and glory to any specified group or person, only to provide ath- letic opportunities for those who seek it Westem's athletic program for wo- men is one of the best of its kind in the country and their schedule 'is made to test the skills and abilities of the individuals and teams. They play only teams equal to their caliber of play and in a sense play -much tougher schedules than the men do in the taking on of the big name schools. Opponents include Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan, Eastem Michi- gan, and Northem Illinois. Inside a world of constant pressure to excell is a sphere of enjoyment where the pressure is less and the real joy of playing a sport is prevalant in- stead of maintaining a good won-lost record because the light is on the fun that there is in playing in the world of sport. And significantly women teams have turned out more winners late- ly than the men. The light is shining bright on women's athletics and will continue to do so as more recognition is given through the different sources of- the media and throughout the campus and the community. After A Dismal Season - Good-Bye Doe After a dismal 1974 season, that failed to produce one Mid-American Conference victory in five outings, Bill Doolittle announced his resigna- tion as head' football coach at West- ern Michigan University. Citing rea- sons that were for the best interests of both myself and the University, Doolittle stepped down after guiding the Broncos to an eleven year 58-49-2 overall record and 24-34-2 Mid American Conference mark., I Doolittle enjoyed several winning seasons at WMU, including four in a row before the 1974 team finished with three wins against eight losses. His top season was 1966 when the Broncos won a share-of the MAC Championship with a 5-1 league rec- ord, and a 7-3 overall mark. The feat eamed-him the 1966 MAC Coach of the Year title. Before coming to Western, Doolit- tle enjoyed a highly successful high school coaching career, as well as holding a coaching position at Brown University and the offensive coordi- nator job at West Point. Doolittle's resignation seems to have awakened the University ad- ministrators to improving the work- ing conditions of the head coaching position. The new head coach will be given a three-year contract and not be required to teach classes,- as Dool- ittle was. Hopefully, this move will give the new coach added time to spend recruiting and along with a second change to increase the budget for on-campus visits for potential recruits lcurrently eighth among the ten MAC schoolsl, would improve Westem's abilities for attracting new athletes. These are just two of the moves necessary to make Western competitive in MAC football again. And if that is the sole purpose of Var- sity sports, then so be it. A , .lk ., - - ' J Q' fn I ' I M: . .

Although he has asked to be relieved of his coach- ing duties, I do hope that Bill will want to continue asia staff mem- ber in ourAthletic Department.

After the ini- tial victory over Texas QArlingtonJ, a team that had soundly beaten WMU in the final game of last year, West- ern dropped the next game to East- ern Michigan 20-19. Following the pattern of a loss for every win, WMU dropped their second home game of the year to Bowling Green 21-13, off- setting their Win over Northern Illi- nois a week earlier. Entering Octo- ber, and the tough mid-schedule duels with three MAC opponents, Western stood 2-2. October proved disasterous for Bill Doolittle's ill-fated Broncos, their only win of the month Kand final vic- tory of the seasonb coming against a weak Marshall team. Kent State, Toledo, and Ohio University all im- proved their own conference records, recording victories over a hapless Western team. November didn't prove to be any better, as Western suffered losses to nationally ranked Miami fOhioJ, a Central Michigan team that went on to beat number 1 ranked fsmall collegel Lousiana Tech, and closed out the season with a heart breaking 34-33 loss to Long Beach State, in California. The Long Beach game and Coach Doolittle's eventual resignation capped a year of frustration for West- ern football. Hopefully our new coach will bring with him a new attitude, a new desire, and a new beginning for WMU football. Until then, the excla- mations of Wait 'till next year, still linger on . . .

Suddenly out of no where the ball shot toward the goal, flashed by the goalie and wizzed into the net for a score. Western Michigan University's soccer team finished with its best record since becoming a varsity sport. Coach Pete Glon urged the booters to a seven, five, and one rec- ord with victories over Central Mich- igan and Kent State included and a tie with a very tough Michigan State team. The team has come a long way in just four years of varsity competi- tion as it compiled a winning record in its third year.

Western grabbed a sixth place fin- ish at the Tom E. Jones Invitational Meet at the University of Wisconsin and finished fifth at the Mid-Ameri- can Conference Championships at Mt. Pleasant, and Tom Duits fin- ished 12th to qualify as an All-Con- ference selection. Others who spar- kled this year were junior Jim Lo- Bianco, sophomore Dan Landman, freshman Ted Farmer, and freshman Greg Savicke, all of who ran well all season long. QB' W f. The Most Popular Games The most popular games on West- ern's campus, where everyone either plays or knows and supports some- one or a team that does, are intra- mural sports. Whether football or badmitton, it is the most popular way to get exercise and have fun. An example of the popularity: one hundred teams competed in I.M. football in three divisions for tro- phies and fun this fall. Football is the most popular of all the fall sports but still leaves seven others to be cov- ered. In the singles tennis tourna- ment over one hundred entries played in the intermediate and championship divisions and better than forty teams for the doubles title. There isn't another more popular event on campus than the intramural program and because of it, more peo- ple are getting to see other students that they otherwise would never have any contact with. The competition of the games is keen as many a fine high school play- er gets a chance to pursue his sport On Campus 10 Whether Football 3 C' 5. 4 --f ,exxxx 'vii v 1' on a much lesser pressure scale a varsity team. There is no to win even though everyone to, and if you don't it's okay there is next week to go out again. If it was any different would.n't be any intramural act at all. If anyone takes the gar seriously it's only on the point they thought they could have better.

Each swipe changes its direction and that of the crowd coming up behind, turning them around to take up the chase at the other end of the field. Western's Field Hockey team had an exceptionally good year with a record of twelve wins, five losses, and six ties. The success of this winning season can be credited to the unique method of coaching and the spirit of teamwork. Field Hockey dares to be differ- ent, is a quote taken from Coach Jean Friedel, which best describes this sport and the quality of its play- ers. There are no real wins or losses, only the satisfaction of a well played game. Field Hockey is becoming more important in the girl's athletic de- partment, as in 1975 it brought com- petition in intercollegiate state, re- gional and national tournaments. We can only look forward to another good year. l,l is ........-.........j.,Wl'- ' 'ic' -- vii--...f-- -- Q .

Since 1959 the Vaga- bonds, under the steady guidance of Dr. Elwyn Carter - Western's first Dept. of Music chairman, have grown from a few choir members doing extra duty as instrumentalists to 'a veteran group of performers. They have participated in six USO tours covering all four corners of the world and countless other concerts in their home state of Michigan to show everyone much of the best in both music and WMU. Through the 1940's and 50's Dr. Elwyn Carter managed to direct the College Choir as well as being head of the Music department. At that time, there was inside the choir another, smaller, group. It had no official name but the group sustained itself year after year and maintained a separate program including instru- mental music that became a regular part of any concert the College Choir performed as a whole. In 1959, Dr. Carter realized that he could no long- er head the department and still give the Choir the attention it needed, and so turned the Choir over to an- other member of the faculty but kept v,1 'N 1 if ..

The United Services Organization KUSOJ soon gave him unexpected assistance when in 1962 they sent a representative to the National Asso- ciation of Schools of Music Conven- tion. ' The representative told all those assembled about a new type of enter- tainment tour that the USO was ini- tiating to complement its Celebrity Series and professional groups. He made an appeal to the administra- tors to have their various groups ap- ply for such a tour. The Varsity Choir had picked up a nickname soon after its becoming a separate organization, and in 1963 the Varsity Vagabonds auditioned for a member of the Music commit- tee while doing a high school show in Dexter, Michigan and submitted a tape of the show for consideration. Their audition resulted in the group being selected and soon there- after fourteen students along with Dr. Carter departed for a tour of the Carribean military bases. Two' years later in 1965 the group went on a sec- ond tour covering Greenland, Ice- land, Newfoundland, and Labrado, and every other year for the next six, the Varsity Vagabonds alternately traveled to the European Theater. the Pacific Command and again Europe. They traveled extensively on all such tours covering such varied terrain as Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Panama, and once even spent four days on the beaches of Hawaii courtesy of the U.S. Armed Forces. In 1973 they missed a turn but were once again selected in 1974 and set off for their second tour of the Carri- bean. Made up of individuals from a wide varity of curriculums, music being only one, the group has become one of the few on campus that allows a student to display his or her own musical creativity in the form of musical arrangements and original ml' compositions. ' Traditionally, the Varsity Ch had been a financially self-susta ing group and changing the grou name failed to change this. The m reasons for maintaining this fin: cial independence were primarily nature of the group's singing enga ments and the fact that as hear the music department Dr. Car was especially cautious about us University funds to support a gre thatnot all the music faculty v enthusiastic about. Fortunately, the nature of Vagabonds singing dates lent it to a self-supporting system. Gro and organizations that asked Vagabonds to perform were asked ,y .'4 R 5 J' ,.

A performance was never ependent on such a donation nor its .ze, but on the whole organizations roved to be very generous in the ast. And well be it, for keeping the roup in costumes, music, instru- ments, and other equipment costs a undle each year. For their last tour .one the group spent over two thou- md dollars for a sound system cap- ble of broadcasting their outdoor' Jncerts. Purchasing insurance for ich tours and paying normal trans- ortation costs were also regular rains on the Vagabonds financial :serves Before an engagement is confirmed Doc checks with all the members F the group and gets their approval. 5' a 54 'rj ,glggl Y In F l, . .- - 2.

Every member of the group must have a B average or better. The numerous concerts and long hours of rehearsal keep the members busy and take away a good deal of their study time. Anyone interested in the group can audition for Dr. Carter almost anytime they can catch him, and Doc is always on the lookout for new tal- ent. Dr. Carter sees his group as a pub- lic relations unit for WMU in many ways. At any given performance the members show a great diversity of talent and a good deal of enthusi- asim besidesg and rather than use these aspects for maintaining inter- est in just the Vagabonds, it is chan- neled into interest of WMU as a place to look into for possibilities in many areas. Since 1959 when Doc Carter separated the small more entertain- ment. minded group called the Var- sity Choir from the University Choir and kept it under his own personal guidance, the Varsity Vagabonds, as they came to be known, have come a long way. The group has established .f ' Z its own distinctive identity, main- tained its financial independence, proved a valuable training ground for many students with varied musical talents and given many of them a chance to see their own work per- formed by a first class group. One particularly good piece of evidence supporting a case for the groups con- tinual improvement is the fact that since 1963 when the Vagabonds were sent on their first USO tour along with over one hundred other such col- lege groups, the USO has curtailed its tours to a miserly fifteen in 19745 the last year the group applied and was accepted. And that time only ten people instead of the normal fifteen were allowed to go. These impressive statistics only highlight the excellence of the Var- sity Vagabonds as a university or- ganization that Western Michigan University can be duly proud of. Dr. Carter's long years of service to WMU will be well remembered not only for his many accomplishments- in establishing an excellent school of music and curriculum, but also for the happiness he has brought to the thousands around the world through his direction of the Varsity Vaga- bonds.

Honors College Tours China TO CHINA WITH EXCITEMENT In the fall of 1974 there was consi- derable speculation that Western Mi- chigan University's Honors College might be allowed to embark on a tour of the People's Republic of China be- fore the academic year's end. Rumors were confirmed that at least an at- tempt was being made, when the Honors College sent out a notice ask- ing all persons interested in making such a tour to apply with the college, and shortly thereafter another notice followed stating that permission had in deed been received. The tour was scheduled to leave Kalamazoo on March 31 and return on May 4, with twenty actual days, April 5 to 24, to be spent in the Re- public of China itself. Twenty students accompanied by Dr. Alfred K. Ho, a WMU professor of economics .hom in Peking, Dr. John R. Lindbeck, professor of indus- trial education, and Dr. Samuel I. Clark, professor of political science and director of the Honors College, soon left classes and work behind as the Honor's College Seminar to the People's Republic of China got un- l if I 1 ' ' f ' f l -. . 1 I H . xv'-2.2 L '-5344 :A ' 1 'C derway.

Before rl day ended the group enjoyed anoth delicious Chinese meal, a visit Kwangchow parks, and a tour of T National Institute of Peasant Mos ment, established by Mao Tse Tu in 1926, a shrine to the history of t Communist movement in China. T WMU party was housed in The Ez tern Guest House across the strc from the new Kwangchow Trade F Building. The next moming came a visit the Ping Chou Commune, lush 2 ., L. i' y -1 --rs ls- .'1 .Q:f1bl'fQ 'W Q ,,., si X t 'u . Q.

China was crowded with peo- ple. Rice was Ping Chou's principal crop 190920, vegetables next. But Communes also had small industries, schools, hospitals and recreational fa- cilities. They were communized agrarian communities, substantially Self-sufficient, self-managed, and they were where most Chinese live. A two hour flight by China's CCAC Airline lands the group in Shanghai. The planewas packed, the cabin mu- sic loud and joyful-songs praising work, the Revolution and service to the people. Shanghai, the largest in- dustrial city in China, was where the Honors Seminar toured China's per- manent Industrial Exhibition Hall, a vast complex of buildings containing everything from industrial stamping presses to musical instruments. The Shanghai Docks were visited. A wandering eye found a Michigan Equipment machine in use-Hurrah! The WMU group met with the Revo- lutionary Committee managing Work Zone No. Five of the docks, and talked with workers. A common theme was often heard: before Liber- ation 119497 employment was uncer- tain, wages low, conditions deplora- ble. Now things were stable, work for everyone, conditions of employment much better. True, wages were still low, but there was medical care, pen- sions, no inflation work saving ma- chines and worker participation in management. These same themes were repeated again at Shanghai Truck Factory No. Two, and at Tientsin Carpet Factory No. One. The trucks made were sturdy with no frillsg they' look like American military vehicles. They were part of the now industrializing China, to be used in China for the development. of China. The carpets were gorgeous-handmade works of art. Largely they were sold abroad to eam foreign currency. The Chinese couldn't afford such luxuries but were proud of the skill required to make them. ' ' Nanking was the former capital of China, was a beautiful city and full of leafing trees and flowers. There, for the first time, birds were seen-s- wallows in the old imperial part. And A Land Cf Immense Contradiction in Nanking rose the impressive mau- soleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, first pre- sident of China. Both Kuomintang and Communist China revered this American educated leader of Twen- tieth Century China. The WMU group next visited a pe- trochemical plant and, of course, the great Nanking Bridge over the Yangtze River, a two level span, highway above-railroad below, nine years a'building by five thousand builders. Tientsin was reached from Nank- ing by ovemight train and was an- other industrial city, like Shanghai, held for years in divided plots by for- eign imperialists -the British sec- tion, the French, the Japanese, the Italians, etc. Happily there was never an American section, as such, but American soldiers were posted in China During the imperialist period and Americans like others claimed exemption from Chinese govemance. The WMU group settled down to China--the hospitality, the wonder- ful food. Students went out in the city with young Chinese guides. They could go where they wished but the language barrier was always formida- ble. Nankai University was visited-a spacious place with an unbelievable student-faculty ratio of one to three. University students must all work for two years in a factory or on a commune before being accepted into universities. There was no tui- tion and no charge for board or room, but reciprocal services to the univer- sity were expected. Later the group visited Peking University, a preti- gious place, and the University for Minorities. It was a short train ride to Peking, capital of 840 million people, the lar- gest organized population on earth. Peking proved to be vast and open. Like elsewhere in China it was planted with thousands of young trees. Reforestation was a major pro- gram of the new China. Also like el- sewhere, billboards or banners pro- fess the words of Chairman Mao: Serve the People , Be Self- Reliant , Remember the Masses , Walk on Two Legs , China has Friends All Over the World . China looked to foreign eyes to be a land of slogans, urging people to respect work, study Marx and Mao, continue the Revolution, increase production, and see the errors of Confucius and Lin Piao.

All in all the participants in MU's Honors.College Seminar to .ina found the tour an extraordin- 1 experience. Cameras clicked at ery concievable object that seemed shout China and the Orient to un- niliar American eyes. The group tnessed a strong and resilient mtry, peopled by seemingly count- s millions of tough, hard working Jple, and saw it at its very best, ring the most beautiful time of the ar, spring. Vlany came away with an image of land filled with paradoxes, a intry teeming with millions of pea- its tilling the soil to raise rice and ner crops with the same methods ey had used for centuries, yet hous- 'cities where industrialization had n-priority, with huge industrial and :mical plants manufacturing mo- n and technical produce. The lb architecture and clothing stark- contrasted with the magnificent ver gardens and the beautiful and istic Chinese rugs for sale to for- ners. Also there seemed somewhat a personality mobilization that med contradictory. The Seminar up found the Chinese to be mas- s of 'fkindergarten diplomacy , 'us- groups of smiling children every- are to accent the happy, almost efree attitude that quickly brings iles and pleasant impressions to torsg while the adult generation rained more reserved, quietly, di- ntly, and patiently going about ir work.

Western Michigan's hockey team looked like world beaters for much of the season, tak- ing all comers and mauling them, without mercy. Scoring records fell like dominoes all season long. The red scoring lamp burned constantly game after game. They roared through Division II undefeated in eight games leaving no light unlit in their conquest. Venturing out of the Division, they convincingly beat Bowling Green at home and away, at a time when the BG's were ranked in the top ten in the nation. However, the high flying Broncos were shot down by Lake Superior State and St. Louis University later in the season as both teams defeated the ice men twice before they advanced to the CCHA Division II playoffs in St. Louis where again the Billikens of St. Louis ended the Bronco's season on the lower side of the scoreboard, but with a fine nineteen and eight record. With only two seniors on the team, freshmen and sophomores nearly do- minated every aspect of the season. Tim Dunlop and Neal Smith fboth freshmenj, set scoring records in their vim.

Dunlop was named most valuable player while Eve was the most improved despite missing five games with injuries. Playing in the new Lawson Ice Arena, the Broncos were able to play in one of the finest arenas in the country and took full advantage of it. Next season they will host the Divi- sion I playoffs here. Packed to capa- city nearly every game, there was no lack of support all season long. Only the mere formalities are left to lift Western Michigan's hockey team into Division I next season. It involves playing Bowling Green, Ohio State, Lake Superior State, and St. Louis numerous times and being suc- cessful enough times to reach the tournaments again. The youthfulness of the team will carry them far next year, as each year this team gets bet- ter and better. Next year it will be tougher but look for the Bronco ice- men to go far. Bronco Basketball Team Comes Within Secoi iiaawa- Woe, for a few seconds less. Not once or twice but three times West- ern's basketball team lost in the last few seconds of the game due to shots taken at the buzzer, swishing through the net, and leaving the Broncos standing defeated, victory whisked from their clutching hands. The dif- ference meant at least a tie for the conference championship for Wes- tern, their first shot at the title since 1951-52 when they went all the way. Western started the season with all underclassmen save one on the floor and proved that they were indeed something to contend with. Records fell and stars shone as they put to- gether their finest season since 1962- 63 season. Finishing with a sixteen and ten mark, it included victories over Oral Roberts, University of De- troit, Miami, and Ohio University twice. Late in the season the Broncos broke a streak of seventeen consecu- tive MAC road losses with victories over Ohio University, Kent State, and Toledo. During the second half of the sea- son every game played was a big game as the MAC race for the crown was the tightest race anywhere in the nation. The Broncos fought with Central Michigan fthe eventual champsl, Bowling Green, Toledo, and Miami of Ohio neck and neck for the right to be number one. Crushing defeats by Central and Bowling Green sent the hopes of Western down the drain, leaving them in the spoiler role, finally sending Toledo to the graveyard of fallen contenders in the last game of the season. Western played its typical tough defense all season along with a well balanced scoring attack. Jeff Tyson led the team in scoring with Tom Cutter, Jimmie Harvey, Jim Kurzen, and Paul Griffen supplementing the offensive thrust. Griffen led the team in rebounding and was named the most valuable player and most im- proved player of the season, the first time one person has won both awards Q1 -A 1,1 fl f5lEHN 4 in the same year.

Led by fresh- man sensation Rich Heil and co- captains Mark O'Malley and Bill Waddell they finished second in the showdown for top spot. O'Malley repeated as league champ in overall at the finals but it was Heil who went to the NCAA re- gionals for the Broncos. Numerous team records fell this season as O'Malley, Heil and Wad- dell broke most of them, each upping their own career records to rank in the top three in the history of the school.

Finishing with an eight and five re- cord, they went to the league meet and broke thirteen of the seventeen existing school records while finish- ing fifth in the MAC. Led by senior co-captains, Kevin McCulley and Dan McLean, the Broncos paddled through the season with a crew of mostly freshmen and sophomores. The record breakers included McCulley, McLean, Terry Breest, Gary Hoffman, and in the relays, Bart Branden and Ken Dove. Others who performed well were Neil Stin- son and Greg Brannick. With rnost of these, and in fact all but the co- captains coming back next year, it looks to be a most interesting season with experience on Western's side. . 0 - .

I.M. sports continue to be the most popular game on campus. Every winter sports activity has shown an increase in participation from last year. At last, something good has risen from the halocaust of terror and financial destruction waged upon us by something out of our control. Who plays intramural sports? Everyone from Greeks to dorm rats, freaks to jocks, and students to profs. It's the only event or activity on cam- pus' that doesn't suffer from that hor- rible disease student apathy. Basket- ball, volleyball, hockey, swimming, all kinds of paddleball and racquet- uall, bowling, wrestling, and the newest sport, inner tube co-ed water polo have risen in the number of teams and individuals participating for awards and fun. It involves all sports from team activities to indivi- dual ones, showing all kinds of talent from those that just dabble in them to those who really show a real profi- ciency in their chosen sport. I.M. sports give a break, from the rat-race-run-around that all students are stuck in, to blow off some steam and let themselves go for just a few minutes before going back to that too real world of studies and exams. It's a world where no one cares if you can do it or not, where there's no grade on what you do. Just the fact that you do it is enough to keep anyone from IM Sports Popular Games 90 .

The girls from Western Michigan University, ranked number one all season long, took the state title this winter ending a very successful sea- son on the hardwood. While running up a sixteen and five record on the year, they beat University of Michi- gan, Michigan State, Eastern Michi- gan, Ferris State, and Calvin College in their climb to the top of the pack. Coach Fran Ebert led her girls from the state title to the quarter- finals of the regionals before bowing to In- diana University after defeating Ball State in a previous regional game. In addition to their fine record the Broncos scored better than sixty-nine points per game while holding their opponents to just fifty a game. Led by Phyliss Cupp's rebounding and shooting with help from Ann Kasdorf, Terri Beattie, Alicia McNees, Mary Bramble, and Kris Metzmaker, they roared through the season leaving the opposition bewil- dered and dazed, sprawling in their trail. They showed the most success- ful season of all the winter sports at Western Michigan, both Men's and Women's, certainly something to be proud of.

The feats seem almost mystifying as if they cou1dn't possibly be done. The women's gymnastics team ty- pifies the attitude of and philosophy of the women's athletic department. They stress hard work and satisfac- tion from being able to accomplish what they have attempted, and are able to be proud that they were able to do it and do it well. This is the only reward of gymnastics, not the prestige of glory and honor, mixed in with various honors and scholarships.

For a time both the fra- ternities and sororities seemed to be headed toward extinction. Each year brought a drop in membership, and corresponding losses in activities, participation, and influence on the campus scene. The war was still on and suddenly those who had been high - school - kids - sent - to - col- lege, turned into political activists, or at least politically aware students, with more relevant things to do than go through some silly initiation rites. . But, with the pullout of American troups from the battlefields of South- east Asia, and the power demise of Richard Nixon, things quieted down on the campuses. Without the rally- ing points of the Vietnam war and Watergate to draw all the hearts-and minds together long enough to gener- ate student protest, classmates laid down their signs, lowered their voices, forgot their chants, and ,set- U tled down to the less encumbered life of carefree college kids. Almost like the old days. With the retum to normalcy on ' 510. ' V Aff the campuses, the Greeks began their slow, but steady comeback. Gradual- ly, chapters that had been losing ground began a comeback. Pledges began to ,rise in numbers, and once again the Greek ranks began to swell with both prideand numbers. Some- how being Greek wasn't passe' any- more. Greeks as a segment of the campus community proved to have a surprising resilency. The static image of Greeks as babbling groups of rich kid's cliques, and drunkards staging egocentric stag parties, began to crumble under the weight of new em- phasis by both the Greeks, and their critics, on actual accomplishments. Perhaps the community involvement with blood drives, dance marathons, muscular dystrophy, charities, and hauling floats in the Gilmore's Thanksgiving Day parade, had all been part of the past too, but they took on new significance as students came back from inauguration pro- tests, and greeting parties for retum- ing soldiers and POW's, with a new awareness of the world around them. That was the difference for many. 1 'E . They had experienced a brief flir tion with student politics, tas' both the power and frustration. S' denly there was a new relations formed with the world, outside normal confines of a college edu tion. Rather than merely waiting other four years to enter into mainstream of society, many s dents found themselves caught h changing its direction directly n ,the campus. These were the ple who often deserted the frater- .es and sororities as symbols of the order. To many the Greeks of the .y 1960's were the establishment. ey were not only to be abandoned, despised. :ut as stereotyped as Greeks have n in the past, they were always fe than that. Just because so- me was Greek didn't mean he or automatically stood up and'sa- ed every time the American flag, business, or Ronald Reagan came in a conversation. Many Greeks ame as concemed and involved 1 the world as anyone. They too rl and reacted to the mind bog- g turmoil and changes going on y around them. They did not e it out. They did not ignore it in r haste for a good time. They did hide within the confines of their little groups, and support them- es with feeling of superiority to situations around them. Greeks e being drafted too. They were lg men and women living in a great colmtry angry at itself for not being greater. And Greeks, too, as Americans, experienced that anger. So the Greeks survived because they were Americans too. Their ways, with its traditions, rites, initiations,-l taboos, and fratemityg which may have seemed special to some and to- tally irrelevant to others, kept alive because of a basic vitality greater than any one element present in their own closed society. And these same elements put to-l gether in each fratemity or sorority, provided the basis of cohesion that is making the Greeks once again a suc- cess on the campuses. Being a Greek has become akin to gaining an extra society to live in, one that offers spe- cial fellowship and experiences, rather than excluding a society that seems too huge and impersonal to be of any interest to.a group of people who have themselves. U ' . NON-GREEKS-Part II . So why isn't everyone a Greek? A good question coming off the above optimistic assessment of the Greeks in the mid 70's, but one that still has several good answers. Obviously, not everyone is cut out to be a Greek, though there may be several reasons why. Perhaps the most important rea- son is that not everyone desires a 1 4 REE K is tyyy REAT 'fl ,H great deal of fraternity with any one group of people, or, for that matter, any people at all. There will always be loners in any context of the world community, the campus community being no exception.- These people land there are millions more who go through,a phase or phases of en- forced individualisml either simply prefer their own company, the pri- vacy of their own thoughts and ac- tions, or they are afraid to share them with others. There are both kinds, with most people in today's world 3 H f fl' rf std ! - f 1 QQ 1 we c being one or the other, or both, at some time in their lives. Others avoid what some consider the Greek syndrome simply be- cause of a different system of priori- ties in their lives. For many the one and only thing important to them when they come to college is to get a formal education that provides mere- ly the next step up the ladder of their career ambitions. Their work be- comes the motivating factor in their life, leaving to little time or interest for involvement with others. Or, per- haps, other committments keep them out of the Greek folds. Family life is not unheard of in and around -the -campus community. Many students have or gain their own families to raise and take care of while they are still attending school. Having a job to support themselves, andfor a family, can take away any time that may well have been devoted to a fratemity or sorority association. Still others, who have the time and energy to Friendship For Friendship's Sal commit themselves to an activity or organization, decide against joining the Greek community. For them there are more important things to do. For some this takes the shape of volunteering their time and talents to special service organizations that need their help. Tutoring, working with handicapped, or spending time with drug or alcohol rehabilitation centers, are just a few of the possibi- lities for those who feel that their time is better spent serving the com- munity and their fellow humans in this manner. Finally, there are those that devote themselves to their reli- gion, andfor its own special exper- iences and services. Today their are many religious organizations on the college and university campuses. Some are simply Christian, Jewish, or Iskimic, etc. oriented, others cater to individual Christian Sects. Each, however, seek to serve both its members and humankind through the elements of its own particular be- .,l , .f 1 t ' ,f ' lief systems, with the hope of bett ing the world as each sees fit to a towards. Another reason is strictly one economics, or practicality. Being Greek, and a member of a social sg tem that must both support itself order to perpetuate itself, and ocm rp 4 WV' A Alb rlally contribute to other elements :heir encompassing society, costs ney. Being a member in certain :emities or sororities fusually se primarily based on social or fessional association functions, as vosed to strictly service fratemi- LJ can easily cost into the idreds of dollars, strickly within r years of the usual college stay, a .e that is often full of financial dif- llty if not down right instability many students. 'inally, there are many people who .ply prefer to have their friends for ndship's sake, who don't need or ply don't care to have their ndships within the often artificial roundings of the Greek commun- How and why people can and do ome and remain friends is one of delightful mysteries of life. Rela- nships between two or more people id out of a variety of things, be it trivial as appearance, or as basic in indefinable attration between ideas, beliefs, and experiences be they contradictory, complementary, or mutually confusing. What attracts or repels certain people from each other is not a mere chemical ingre- dient in their bodily or mental sys- tems that can be isolated and ana- lyzed. Let it suffice to say that is so- mething within everyone, affected by their society, with its predjudices, preconceptions, politics, and pres- sures, by their environments, includ- ing its location, population, and inte- gration, and by their personalties, O- which is both a product of the above two factors, and an element in itself, to be developed from within.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, In Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., is a national Greek-letter society, having more than six hundred chapters located in fifty states. It was founded at Howard University in Washington D.C. on January 13, 1913 by a group of twenty-two under- graduate women. Even today, ten of these women continue to play a signi- ficant role in the activities of our or- ganization. In 1953, our undergra- duate chapter, Delta Epsilon, was founded on Western's Campus. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. with a majority of members who are Black, has a vital interest in the welfare of minority groups and in human rights. In the fall of 1972, a Loan Fund was established on Western's Campus, and just recently a scholarship Fund has been established especially for freshmen which encompases book fees for their first year at the Univer- sity. Throughout the year, we partici- pate with a Teen Lift Program at Para Learning Center. During ses- sions we share our college experiences and provide various crafts activities, such as needle point, sewing and de- coupage. In addition to our service projects, a Thanksgiving Benefit Dance is held annually with proceeds given to families in need in the Kala- mazoo area.

The purposes of the fraternity as ex- pressed in its constitution are: To instill in its members a desire for con- tinuing self-improvementg to foster high moral and ethical standards in its membersg to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and profes- sional excellenceg to cultivate a sense of responsibility and service in its membersg to promote the collegiate study of accountingg and to provide opportunities for association among its members and practicing accoun- tantsf' The members of the chapter elect four student officers to guide chapter affairs: president, vice-president, se- cretary and treasurer. Committees are appointed to assist the officers in discharging their responsibilities for such matters as election of members, banquets, special speakers, field trips, nomination of officers and other professional and social events. A faculty vice-president serves as an advisor to the chapter. Beta Alpha Psi 'ki - 1 .x , . , Nm. .- Y - 1--1 ,R 1- ' X V- F fl 1 '5Qz' 1 1 A X4 ,Ala Pill Q5 .. N . 4 U flilfz. K h X. ,,.

Sparked by two fantastic pledge classes, the Phi's had a new growth of spirit and enth- usiasm. Involvement is a key word to de- scribe this year as the Phi's partici- pated in many activities both on campus and in the community. Along with this was a strengthening of sisterhood and unity within the chapter. This could be seen at T.G.'s and other events as the Phi Bears sang and cheered at the top of their lungs.

Brotherhood was well shown in the chapter's involve- ment, especially during the Miller's can collecting contest when we outhustled all other cam- pus organizations to come away with the Grand Prize, a Technics quadrophonic sound system. Cam- pus involvement was also shown by having brothers in IFC, MUB, ASG, varsity baseball, football, and wrestling.

When it came to an event to compete in, the Phi Sigs motto is Its not if you win or lose, it was how you did it with broth- erhood. When it comes to a party Phi Sigma Epsilon uses their imagination to make it an unforgettable occasion. Phi Sigma Epsilon had their annual Phi Sig Day in March for all the brothers in Michigan and the sur- rounding states. In addition to social activities the brothers, the brothers also joined in with the Chi Omega Sorority to sponsor a Christmas Party for foster children in connec- tion with the Foster Parents Associa- tion.

'A ,L , K , In the midst of apathy throughout college campuses across the nation, Greeks at Westem are struggling to provide the students here with an op- portunity to become involved in cam- pus and community activities, and to hopefully instill leadership qualities and an interest for social activation in them for years to come. The first major step for Westem's Greeks in accomplishing this goal of total campus involvement lies in dis- pelling many of the stereotypes pre- sently held of the typical Greek. The time has passed when Greeks can only be considered in terms of beer bashes and snobbishness. Consi- dering the variety of philantropic projects sponsored by Greeks here at Westem and across the country, and the mere fact that Greeks are reach- ing out to the whole campus, quickly dispells these generalizations. The individual sororities and fra- ternities that make up the Greek sys- tem at Westem are organized into two basic councils, or advisory groups.The social sororities and fra- ternities at Western are headed by the Panhellinic Council and the Inter-Fratemity Council, both of which work on a delegate principle. The Inter-Fratemite Council and the Panhellinic Council are truly ac- tive organizations that divide their major purposes into four catagories: first, social, second, chapter, or indi- vidual fratemity or sorority develop- mentg third, personal development, and fourth, public relations. The social aspect of these two dir- ecting groups includes activities such as parties, beer bashes, or other get togethers between specific fratemi- ties and sororities. There are other social activities undertaken by Greeks that, whether jointly or indi- vidually, are based on morethan just a good time. A few include the Presi- dent's Reception, Spring Sing on Mom's weekend, and the Homecom- ing Soapbox Derbyg the last two being a joint event involving MIIB, IISCH, and AWS as well as IFC and Pan-Hel. Other Green social func- tions include going to nursing homes, and contributing to, and working for, the needy or handicapped. The second important category of a activity overseen by IFC and Pan-Hel involves individual chapter develop- ment. While each fratemity or soror- ity has unlimited power to do almost anything, these two boards set up rules and guidelines which are de- signed for the fair treatment of all considered. One thing that comes under these guidelines is the rule that no frat ernity or sorority may require pledges to do those things that could inflict physical or emotional harm on an individual. In addition to this advisory factor, many awards or cer- tificates of achievement are given to those people in the Greek family who have made outstanding achieve- ments in campus, community, or academic endeavors. The IFC and Pan-Hel try to stimu- late a feeling of Greek unity ai brotherhood among the members the specific Greek organizations. B Greeks realize that not everyone oriented to a fratemity. They simil ly realize that not every fratemity sorority is for every person. This at tude helps in creating a respectf healthy, feeling amongst Greeks different fraternities or sororities. Other activities and opportunit promoted by WMU Greeks are gut speakers from different facets of t university, making students aware the different facilities and opportu: ties available to them at Weste and contributing to the awareness any individual living in our society However, good works and activ do not always gain much recognitit If the sterotypes of fratemities 2 sororities did not exist, there wow he no need for public relations. St is also a goal of all Greeks to incre, communication and understand between every branch of the univ sity community and themselv Westem's Greeks have many reaching goals for all of us here. may not see these changes co about, but all of us should take n that Westem's Greeks are trying make this campus a working, friei ly, non-apathetic, community. dvertising Club-In National Competition Advertising Club President: Rick Mervine Secretary: Pam Broders Treasurerg Pat Berg Advisory Zane Cannon F.C-Governing, Growing, Greeks t Row: Dennis Hauge, Ad.

With our fantastically huge rooms, bathrooms for every two of us, and a full set of fun-loving people filled with an earnest desire to suc- ceed both academically and socially, we remained easily the best dorm on campus. At first the all junior, senior, grad student restriction had us wor- ried. Would we end up to be just a bunch of old foggies that had their heads buried in their books all the time, or would the rheumatism keep us from our perennial games of vol- leyball? Hell no! When We got older, we got better! Our parties were better attended than ever, activities and programs increased, one Cout of threel of our basketball teams won the intramural championship, the girls had a hell of a football team, and there were more than enough co- ed games going on inside to keep us all hopping. rr ' ' 'H V 7fH::v.N,,1 N .U , D, 1 ,. .. - g. .WW-G1-' 11w: f '3 'wi 21 X - -w -' 1 - .Wg . .- -- ,. ,., . .

Do you all rea- ne that so little happens on Wes- rn's campus during the summer nat we had trouble finding enough :tivities to take pictures of? Well, it asn't quite that bad, we did manage I find a few students sleeping under ees, and somehow came up with a :quence shot of the baby swans 'owing up. Not bad for a session's ork. As is normal in the balmy, ammy, days of late summer in Ka- lmazoo, Westem's Fall 1974 semes- er started out with a characteristic hoosh and a bang and a slurp. Not irprisingly, the twenty thousand lus students that descended upon ie campus in something under vurty-eight hours foimd it not quite eady for their arrival. Good old Wes- :rn was rushing to put the finishing nuches on a curious circuitous road lstem that roped in the northem alf of Western's academic core, and ant everyone careening into the lealth Center parking lot. The re- ilting mess and confusion only ad- ed to the annual traffic jam that ac- Jmpanies such multitudes and their 'iple multitudes of luggage wherever iey go, but got business at the Iealth Center off to a roaring start. 4 fl QPWVI i -- ,., Sangren Hall, in the midst of being gutted in preparation for the install- ment of its shiny new air condition- ing, was surrounded by stacks of tin pipes and infested'with clouds of dust as workers crawled about their busi- ness., ' T And crawl they did. Work that was scheduled to be finished in December 1974 didn't even come close, in fact there was some question whether it would ever get done, seeing as all the construction workers were always busy getting acquainted with the new secretaries. Meanwhile. back at the community, and the fall semester, -restrooms, the rest of the university both got underway sometime in mid- November. Generally quiet and pea- ceful, most of the fall activity cen- tered around the revitalization of the bars in Kalamazoo, with the univer- sity balancing budget with their ten percent of the take. The biggest riff of the semester proved to be a tiny little debate over the expense of President Bemhard's new home. Never mind that the university already owned three other homes, they were all the wrong color. But such activity hardly raised the dust that had' settled over the dry. ' 'Rei Y I? 744 dead, summer term, and not one to make waves, Coach Doolittle's toe- ball team decided to forfeit their sea- son rather than cause anyone any un- due excitement. Thus, with minimal fanfare, the 'Broncos went zero for five in the MAC, and Doolittle went to the showers. Thanksgiving was terrific as thou- sands of students went home to chicken and dressing in the face of the country's worsening economic woes. But Davis Hall residents did their bit to stimulate the economy by having their stereos and typewriters recirculated into the market by a couple of early rnoming burglars who also managed to walk off with a cute little 1962 Ford Mercury, with a chrome radiator cap and bloodshot headlights. ' , Speaking of the country, Ol' Jerry Ford was sitting in the White House, passing out pardons to former presi- dents, and quickly losing the goodwill of the country and the congress ashe floundered with domestic and foreign' policy in his early days in the re- painted oval office. The auto industry was reeling from record low sales, layoffs were giving thousands much needed vacations and ninty-five percent of their pay- checks for waiting gracefully. Not bad for those lazy, hazy, crazy, days of . . . Fall 1974. Which. of course, and after a brief fx I S i L i I 2 I I 1 respite for a jolly skimpy Christma quickly faded into Winter 1975, whi things really started to warm 1 around the old bulkheads in the St dent Services 'boiler room. Mon- was short all over, and while our ba ketball team was staying in the thi' of the' MAC race for the first time. years, and the Bronco skaters we cutting up their competition in tht brand new arena, eating Bowlii Greens for breakfast and getting sh down by the spirit of St. Louis, P1 sident Bemhard was sitting in l' warm new home, ordering a hirii freeze for the university as word car down that the Guv was chopping fi hundred big ones from the 1974- budget. ., IV, Q f ar- 1 1' 5 V qi .1 1 , 4 I al - But money woes were hitting ever- ne. For example the Board of Trus- es had to find a new way to prop up e dormitories as they faced up to pealing the parietal rule for fresh- en and sophomores, which some- IW happened to coincide with an in- ease in everyone's tuition by a dol- r a credit. But the administration isn't so creative with ways to save e financially' plagued campus year- ok. The THRESHOLD was being reatened with extinction if some- wwe couldn't convince the stu- nt body to stretch their thinning llars out just enough further to buy copy of their own yearbook.'Too d we couldn't have raised tuition something to help us out, but the iversity couldn't afford us either, d they refused to give us permis- an to tax people sleeping in the Stu- nt Center in order to make addi- 'nal revenue, so we were left to plod , through rain, sleet, and the first llege snow day in the last eight ars, to finish the book and watch e world around us go to pot. Liter- y. No one wanted to graduate any- Jre. There wasn't anyplace, nor any ms, to go to. Jerry Ford was beginn- g to get a grip on both himself and 4 bust of Harry Truman, and final- had Nelson Rockefeller in the vi- nity to do his homework for him, d sweep the CIA mess under the Seasons, Roads carpet all at the same time. King Fai- sal had a little family trouble which sent him to an early grave, and his nephew to that big chopping block in the sky. Nothing was sacred anymore as an unruly Congress defeated Henry Kis- singer's pet trade proposal with the U.S.S.R., decided to do it's own rug sweeping act with the CIA, and total- ly refused to get anything positive ac- complished in any area whatsoever for the duration of their feud with Jerry over what flavor of jelly to serve with the peanut butter during official Changed Daily steak dinners. But all was not lost, as Western 1, held firmly to the status quo. Girls A who pulled fire alarms were suspend- ed from school, and athletes con- , victed of burglaries were put on aca- ' demic probation and told they could never play football again at Westem until practice started in the spring. I ' The faculty finally voted in collective bargaining in April and then prompt- ly asked the 'Faculty Senateto look into the feasibility of forming a un- ion. And Western once again came to intemational attention as a group of 245 students managed to set a new world record ffor not state employeesj of the longest telephone call. Not to mention that Westem's new Football coach was showing everyone how tough he was by trying to bend the iron bar of NCAA rules for spring training, figuring no one would su- spect a school with such a mediocre record. Spring was refreshing. Sangren Hall was still getting its air condi- tioning, which was now promised for the hottest day of January 1976, in order to celebrate Washington's crossing of the Delaware two hundred years earlier to buy his first coke. Knollwood Tavern, much to Wes- tern's franchise manager's chagrin, got permission from the city to ex- pand into a huge gambling and pros- titution franchise, with the added right of giving away free frisbees on Funky Fridays. e Vietman mercifully, and quickly, joined the communist bandwagon after the collapse of Cambodia, and left poor President Theiu minus a ca- pitol, or even a country, and absolu- tely non place to put back the millions in gold bullion he had kept for safe keeping during his diplomatic sum- mit meating in the sauna rooms of the French Riviera. President Ford, however, was staging a brilliant comeback with a show of military force, 'and lets not forget indignation, as he sent eighty thousand marines, two divisions of paratroopers, the se- venth, eighth, and thirteenth fleets, and his dog, to rescue the crew of the merchant ship Mayaguez. All of which solidly lined the country up behing him since everyone was tired of being picked on by those skinny, yellow, communists, who had finally put too much sand in our pants for their own good. Back at Western, everything was proceeding quietly as the spring mud puddles dried up and there was talk of even fielding a baseball team be- fore the end of the season. They did, and won ten straight games before being eliminated from post season toumament play by the golf team ,-ui Ln ,- '. W' ff-1 f 'm.'- . . Il ft- .

Tennis, believe it or not, ended the season as second in the MAC, the highest finish for any Bronco team all year, except for'Hockey which was so good they couldn't really have been from Westem. All in all, it was a tremendous year at Westem, one full of memorable events, and fuller of even more forge- table ones. The year passed, the sea- sons kept trading weeks back and forth amongst themselves, class came and went, the students, admi istrators, and staff, all got a ye older, eiicept for George in cashierii who never gets any older, and ti brick buildings still looked the sam except for a fewvdifferences here ai there.

In the midst of all this came a spell of sunny days coin- ciding With a string of ten consecu- tive victories that ended the season with a not-so-dismal 'forecast for next year and a decent record for the 1975 season. t-lr f -A ., . , ,, 7 4 4.

Although the ten game winning streak helped their overall record they finished next to last in the MAC with a six and ten record, with an overall record of fourteen and fifteen. The Bronco victories included a re- markable doubleheader from Michi- gan State, who went on to finish third in the Big Ten, and two from University of Detroit, who battled into a berth in the Midwest regional of the NCAA playoffs. Pitchers Tom Carpenter, Tim White, and a host of others, were up and down all season. Win one lose another, seemed to be the pattern of the entire season. Jim Carwardine, senior third baseman set a career re- cord at Western with eleven homers in his tenure. 1 V t ,, - , - I .- . -, - A 5j',. 4V ' -3 lf.-if. lu.-,' ' l I , , N .

The trackmen finished the 1975 season on the new Kanley Track, competing against all nine other MAC schools in the annual lea- gue championships. lnjuries plagued the team, slowing down such earlier WMU stars as Tom Duits fdistancel, Curtis Long fsprinterl, and Dale De- Bruin Cdecathlonl. Even so, the team garnered sixty-seven and two-thirds points to fall less than five points be- hind third place Bowling Green, with the injured DeBruin still managing to capture a first place finish in the de- cathlon. Mike Schomer Cjavelinl took Western's only other first place fin- ish, followed closely by Tom Meyer Chammer throwl, and Bob Cornwell iintermediate hurdlesl who both cap- tured seconds in their events. Tennis - 2nd In MAC And A Coach Of The Y X, ., qi. Front Row: Tim Mace, Scott Frews, Capt, Tony Lamerato, A1 Gubitz, Den Lueneburg, Tom Mitchell, Back Row Fritz Dwyer Bob Le Scott Schultz, Don Brown, Jim Buck, and Coach Jack Vredevelt. The Bronco netters finished the 1975 season with a mediocre twelve and ten record. However, it was the MAC championships where the Bronco star came through. Tony La- merato, a junior from Hamtramck, repeated as the Mid-American Con- ference's sing1e's champion with a six-one, six-two final match victory. Lamerato's title, matched with Scott Frew taking sixth in the singles flight, gave Western a second place finish in the MAC with twenty points. Only one other team won titles, and that was Miami of Ohio who took the other seven. The successful season was sweetened with the naming of coach Jack Vredevelt as Coach of the Year in the MAC. Other notable Bronco netters were freshman Dan Lueneburg, Jim Buck, Fritz Dwyer and Scott Schultz. .f' 'H ,DT 'V s?

They finished fifth in the MAC, just twenty strokes off the pace in one of the most competitive tournaments ever. Mike Hurley and Tom Foster tied for third in the indi- vidual medalists play with identical two hundred and ninety-threes. The Broncos put together one of the finest rounds as a team in fourth round ac- tion at Lake Doster Country Club. Coach Merle Sclhosser liked what he saw in the championship rounds, and if it was any indication, Western can look forward to increased competiti- veness in a conference that has proved to be one of the toughest in the nation.

Not for semester break this time, not even for those ur quick months of summer. This time ere's no coming back. Kalamazoo and Wes- rn Michigan University, friends and neigh- rs, strangers and lovers, all disintegrating, or least dispersing, before the awesome force of e and its uniformed drummer boy called aduation. Where have all the good times ne, the parties, the senseless jokes, the one ght stands, lost loves, found loves, the nights cramming, and the quiet weekends with to do, or too much to do, and not en- time till Monday? Where are my profes- ,I GXNNEU PAREN mg - Q sors, my classes, books, reports, and pencils? They always saved me in the past. Some days they slowed me down. Lots of times I couldn't wait to get out of here. Sometimes I still can't. So many painful memories, and so many, many, more good ones. Something happened every day. I mean even days that were wasted weren't wasted, because just being able to waste a day every now and then was an accom- plishment. It was great. Every year more and more people got married and either left school, or settled down to work their way through. But for even the busiest of us college was a relati- vely easy time. After the classes and the homework, you were on your own. Most of us didn't have to go home to a wife and kids, a yard that needed trimming, and a leaky faucet to fix. Life was complicated merely with Ll!! 'E' .?:gi'5:'T5 ?lg1:LEEE'3:?-Tit: '-- ---:P-T-11. 'az ':-: ' - 27 - - 1 l- ' Zigi.-i?sg,i2-21-3:5:'.aEw. .- -' 'J Ti 2-l 13:75-ref' -'Ls2E ' 1...

Home and pa ents, brothers, and sisters, in-laws, outlaw and laws period, all seemed like nebulou flighty tentacles, reaching into our worlds fro an outside somewhere, instead of Wrappi around them. We were young. College. It all started out like a slightly r gurgitated remake of an overgrown hi school. Being a freshman again was like a fo year flashback, not a giant leap ahead. Orie tation was a gas. A brief little flirt with t high life of the early seventies and maturit Jesus, we were big kids. There was enough ne guys and girls for everyone. And classes? Wel gee, they seemed a little scary, but the couldn't be that bad, right? And even if the were, so what? College was going to be a goo time, and we all made solemn promises t learn something in our spare time too. The dormitories were a switch. We were big happy UD families, complete with loner shouters, fighters, jokers, scholars, and mak shift super-stars, all rolled into nice little row stacked efficiently side by side, and one on to of the other, with all the individualism of a pil of pancakes. But we made it. We all kept o promise, whether we intended to or not, arill learned some things, even if we didn't know i when we learned them, but instead only when we stopped to think about it. And that wa: arequirement. Every once in a while we wer? all required to step back and think about it what ever it was. We were growing up, or at least getting older, and the law said one usual ly came with the other, and the law said the latter one always came, no matter who yol -... sa 'T 1 , .pr N X ,. K' Maybe We All Turned Out Alright . . . Maybe Jere, or whose dad was your's, or what neigh- llorhood you'd grown up in. Everyone got der, and some lucky few even got wiser, and Elost of us kept forgetting about both until ddenly we tripped over one, or the other, or +oth, in the dark of night, and for a while we ould fall into what looked like a little daylight n our lives, or retreat down another dark alley. fllaybe we took up hitting drugs to forget, or .moked pot just because we liked it, and haybe we all turned out alright at the end. Phose of us that made it anyway. Some didn't. For a variety of reasons some of is never even got a chance to get older. Car iccidents were a legitimate way to go. One of is even had enough uncanny timing to get hit ny a flying coke truck. Another of us got killed just riding a bike through Europe. Others left to see Canada for a while, getting stuck there for a lifetime. At first there was the end of the war to wait for, and then after a while there just wasn't anything to come back to. But most of us stayed, and lived. The draft died when we were two and in the middle of our sophomore year, but only after it had scared the shit out of us for a year and a half. Girlfriends had kept lists of the numbers as they came over the radio. A friend of mine won the lottery for the lowest number, drank his winnings away, and dropped out of school. And all for nothing since they never even got a chance to call our numbers. And then, of course, there was Watergate breaking out all over and making all of us want to jump up and serve our country anyway. Finally, suddenly we were juniors, upper- classmen, and people were asking us what we were going to do after we graduated. And some few of us realized it was time to think about that for a while, do a little planning, it was good for the soul. The rest of us kept hiding. . -A ', r, -,,,.r'. if ' ip . There was still plenty of time to make all those big decisions. Meanwhile, enjoy. But the edge was gone. The bars began to get crowded with the little kids we had left back in high school. There they were, sitting on my stool, and car- rying on like a bunch of idiots. Kids. Then the Auditing Department sent us all a letter, re- minding us of our obligation to graduate in order to make room for the next crop, and that really scared us. But summer came to save Summer vacation was a tradition, a pas rite from one grade to the next, and we knew we could come back again. We only to put up with one more year. It was almost funny being a seniorg it couldn't happen to better people, but 1 ' w -r could we be seniors in college when we weren' even as old as those high school seniors twu years ahead of us had been. It was time fo some serious counseling. It didn't help much Majors and minors finally began to shape up but what did they mean? People changed thei: majors and minors every day, and the mosi that ever happened to them was a change ir vocabulary, and maybe a few new friends. Sure were going to all get big B.A.'s, or B.S.'s, or .'s in B.S., or some such thing. Big deal. t when we were finally coming out of hiding having to grow up and get a job, just en we were supposed to be ready for that ger and better job college was going to get the whole economy goes to hell, and takes job market with it. Who wants to go to hell a job, especially with four years of specia- d training, and a masters in going to ool? Not me. But what choice did I have? I 1dn't stay in the woodwork forever. Besides, equation said I was through, finished. Col- e, times four years plus education, equals fluation, plus diploma, minus place to hide, t4y+EdJ I G + D - CPtoHD. I left, Everybody left. It was so damn sad. I had to laugh. All grown up and educated together, and just when we're all starting to like each other old Mother Society takes us home to bed. We were just lucky it all hap- pened so fast we didn't have time to shed too many tears. Big boys am't supposed to cry any more, and big girls are only allowed two sniffs and a whimper, so it was just as well. Graduation was great. I really felt proud standing up when my class was called. Too bad no one could see me in the middle of those three thousand black robes. But my mother assured me she caught a glimpse of my cap as I filed back to my seat after getting my very own blank booklet. They all thought I looked so terribly grown up, and mature, and hand- some, and graduated. v - .V If ii 1, X .Y ' .i' W l 7laf' ,J , n vi! .- . f .k an - yr . . . , wfig HEP' 4 , . ...idx 16451 ' l A Bag Full Of Memories, And A Suspicion. qs , g - .I J. .

When we met in our sophomore year e floormates. From that point on our lives seemed l together as our careers and ambitions took us ot merely parallel paths but to a great degree the ne. We lived on the same floor, one worked for arbook and introduced the other to it, and one for the dormitory and was eventually joined by er. In one place one became the boss, in the other the newcomer, with the roles basicly reversed. ever was either case a true representation of our nship. You couldn't have found two more equally ed people. If one had the edge in one area, the made up for it in another. Being so closely ed, we competed, daily and well. At times we d like enemies, but for the most part the compe- was only intense, not destructive. If anything it us both to otherwise unreachable achievements. er we seemed to possess a creative chemistry that anifested itself in the form of the 1974 and 1975 SHOLDS. There is no possible way of determin- ich one of us influenced these two yearbooks in ay or to what degree. Both were products of our ned imaginations, styles, and effort. We some- had widely divergent ideas and beliefs, and it d in our editorial differences, often the source of t, but also the source of a similiarityg we both d to do better work, together we made each other ir best, and that was good for you, your yearbook, this time we would like to thank the many friends sociates without whose help this book never could een produced. First, to our advisor Mr. Joe Free- we would like to express our sincere appreciation s help and guidance over the last two years. He ew how to cut red tape, and how to keep us on ht track. When we needed him, he was there, and 't ask for a better advisor than that. ond, we would like to thank our former Director of Hall, Kathie Armillotti. Kathie somehow put up aving two of her three assistant directors as edi- f Western's yearbook. She allowed us maximum ility with our hours and activities, which in turn d us to complete our work in both places with the um amount of hassel and pressure. ny of our fellow residents eventually came to be ed with the THRESHOLD. Our floors were a con- source of helpers, several, such as the workhorse Lease, and fellow staff Bill Audette, and Lisa Wi- ecame editors. At one time or another well over a hundred people were involved with the actual produc- tion of THRESHOLD. Of those, several deserve special mention. Deb Unruh doubled as the THRESHOLD uti- lity woman and safety valve over the past two years. When the pressure was on and the time short the Red Streak could always be counted on to pull us through. You name it, she could,would, and did do it. Unbelieva- ble, and terrific. Another workhorse on the staff was Deb Hochrien. The technician behind the index and another dependable typist, Deb provided both the prodding and momentum needed to get us through the long, long, year. The best business manager THRESHOLD has had in ,a long time was the energetic Greg Potter whose enth- usiasm, and genuine interest in THRESHOLD, in- creased communication between editorial and business sides of the book one hundred percent. As to the book itself, well, its been fun, and it hasn't been fun. There was always merriment worked into the long and tedious hours of labor, and that made working the book seem worthwhile, but there were also other aspects that took away much of the satisfaction of a job well done. All was not rosy with the staff. There were editors and helpers alike who let us down in one way or another at times. But the biggest headaches had noth- ing to do with either the staff or making the book itself. They came from a constant worry and uncertainty about the future of THRESHOLD. The book was never a best seller, and money has run short in rec ent years, so short that we were facing an accumulated deficit of nearly forty thousand dollars at the end of this year. But in- stead of finding additional support for the THRE- SHOLD, WMU's administration decided to cure us by removing their support, financially at least. A one year moratorium was placed on yearbook production in the hope of either spurring new student support for the book, or putting us out of business permanently. And the worst part was that they couldnlt have picked a worse time. Sales figures indicated that we were final- ly recovering from our long slump. Interest was reviving in many areas of the university community. More organ- izations were buying pages, more seniors were getting their pictures taken, and most important, more people were buying the book, forty percent more. But it was too little too late. Late in June we were informed that there definitely would be no 1976 THRESHOLD. And no one knew what the moratorium would bring, whether, it would kill our momentum or spur it, or whether any amount of support and interest would be enough for the university to bring the THRESHOLD back, ever.
