A Day in the Life . . . If we have learned nothing, we have experienced the passage of time. Both the instant and the eon have been our domain as we have passed the days, the weeks, and years of our lives. yfljJ rvTji II vs j l| Jk n iOT HHI There was so much to experience; so many people to meet. m ,? ' to KISS a lot of TOADS  WCtt w  Wm ' ; Not the least of our lessons was that learning is not a phenomenon of the classrooms; we learned outside as well as within. Though the pressures of time were great, we made it through. We learned to cope ... 10 11 We had to work when we would have pre- ferred to relax. But we still found time for friends, for fun, — for the small things that mean the most. ■ , i : 12 ' Yes, we have experienced time. It has guid- ed us in the course of our enrollment at W.S.C. 13 The years have flown by . . . all these moments have their place imbedded forever in our memories.

Wordsworth 113 Hostages Remembered To the College Community: As we all know, this week marks not only the end of our Presidential Cam- paigns and the end of the foliage season, but it also marks a beginning; a beginning of the second year of captivity for fifty- two fellow Americans located somewhere in Iran. As I sit back and contemplate it all, I feel that we as a college community should show our support for our people more than we have. What have we done? When it was in style, we had a demonstra- tion and an effigy burning. The Embassy takeover was front page news for months; however, like most drawn-out events the coverage subsides when people begin to take it as commonplace and it doesn ' t hold their interest. The point that I am trying to get across is that we, not just as students but as Americans, should not put this situation so far from our minds that it doesn ' t bother us. The fact of the matter is the fate of these Americans is still as unsure today as it was a year ago. And for these Americans, the only thing that has changed are the days dragging into nights.

A Member of The Owl Staff Attends ED 358 by Diane Casey This class includes calling the profes- sor Dr. Bob and calling fellow students beautiful friends. reading letters aloud, holding hands, hugging, and taking walks around the campus. There are no tests; grades are based on letters to Dr. Bob, who wants his students to do what they want to do, when they want to do it. These letters to Dr. Bob are the only assign- ments required of students. This class is Dr. Robert Saisi ' s unique, and apparently very popular. Interpersonal Relations. In this class, students are supposed to find out about themselves, and learn how and how not to deal with others. They are supposed to learn how to trUSt one another (emphasis on US), and how to determine their own destiny. A typical class session includes read- ing (aloud) personal letters from previous students to Dr. Bob — letters which contain such statements as You have helped me see myself, and You are the inspiration of my life. As each letter is read by a student, Dr. Bob walks around the room and touches each mem- ber of the class. Today, a male member of the class has brought a beautiful friend (female) with him. The student introduces her to the class. Dr. Bob asks him if he has grown enough to hug her. The students says that he has, and the student hugs her. Saisi talks about various topics. Some- times, he asks questions which the stu- dents answer mentally. As he talks, he mentions only positive things about peo- ple. He tells the class that To give is to find who we are. Saisi repeatedly urges the students to visit him in his office and apparently many do. He tells us that one woman who graduated four years ago still writes him almost every week. Today ' s session — number six — is devoted to the needs of individuals. Saisi passes out his personal list of nine needs. Among them are the need to be alone, the need to be accepted, and the need to be loved. The students leave the classroom in pairs to walk around the campus and dis- cuss one another ' s needs. The students return to the classroom, and Saisi reads more letters and some poetry to the class. A poem by Saisi — Me — is also read. The students take another walk to discuss Dr. Bob ' s poem. The partners of the walk sit togeth- er for the remainder of the class, and Saisi tells them to close their eyes, hold hands, and silently transmit to each other thoughts of themselves. The students then express their joy at having found a new friend by hugging each other; after which, Dr. Bob stands in the doorway to hug and or kiss each student as the class files out past him. 116 Will WSC Faculty Strike? Vote To Be Held For the past few weeks, news of a pos- sible state college faculty strike has been in the air. The story began on June 12, 1989, when the Board of Trustees of State Col- leges and the Mass. State College Asso- ciation Mass. Teachers Association reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement after seven months of con- tract negotiations. The agreement calls for a 30 percent salary increase over the next three years. The MSCA MTA voted to ratify the negotiated agreement on June 26, giving Governor Edward J. King 60 days from that date to approve or re- ject the agreement. If he did not take any action within the 60 days, the agreement would be returned to the parties for fur- ther negotiations. However, on Sept. 24, MSCA leaders met with representatives of the Board of Trustees of State Colleges to resolve dif- ferences between the negotiated agree- ment and what would be acceptable to the State Office of Administration and Fi- nance. After the 60 day period, Governor King neither rejected nor accepted the agreement. As a result of the governor ' s inaction, the leadership of the MTA has decided to ask its membership for the authority to call for a system-wide strike. If the entire faculty of the state college system de- cides to authorize a strike, the final deci- sion of whether or not to strike will be made by the MTA ' s executive committee on Nov. 1. A strike would affect the faculty of the entire state college system directly, and could possibly draw the support of the staff. Its direct effect on students would be to send them — all 45,000 of them — home, until the contract is settled. The vote is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 8., the day after the Owl goes to the printer. Rocky Horror Cancelled The sophomore class arranged last week to show the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Thursday, March 5, and Satur- day, March 7 in Dever Auditorium. Be- cause of the nature of the film, only cer- tain items were allowed into the audito- rium, including rice, squirt guns, newspa- pers, toast, flashli ghts, and toilet paper. However, after the Thursday night per- formance, Dr. Warren Hill, Vice President of Student Services, sent a letter to stu- dents which explained his reason for can- celling the Saturday night performance. Dr. Hill wrote, After consulting with mem- bers of the Sophomore Class, I have in- structed the Sophomore Class to cancel the Rocky Horror Picture Show for Satur- day evening, March 7, 1981. The decision is a result of the damage that occurred in Dever Auditorium during the Thursday evening, March 5, performance. Refunds for tickets were given Satur- day night in the Campus Center and Dever Auditorium to those students with tickets for the Saturday performance. Dr. Hill Gets A New Position I Dr. Warren Hill was recently appointed Vice President of Student Services at WSC. His new job entails receiving reports from the offices of student affairs, inter- collegiate athletics, housing, health ser- vices and clubs, among others. Dr. Hill was also recently appointed as advisor to Student Senate. One of Dr. Hill ' s main concerns is in having a policy for drinking on campus. He said, Individuals on campus have drink- ing problems the college doesn ' t have an alcohol problem. He is presently work- ing on setting up a Task Force to examine the drinking problem and would eventually like to establish alcohol awareness pro- grams to aid students in that aspect. Dr. Hill also stated that he would like to take a serious look at intercollegiate ath- letics and equality for women in athletics. He said that the support WSC gives ath- letics is insufficient and that it concerns me that some teams don ' t have uniforms and that our budget is so small. A former math professor, Dr. Hill misses teaching but says he is still in- volved with students in his new position and he ' s very happy about that. 117 Here We Go Again! by Linda Kasparian Deja vu. Haven ' t we seen this before? It seems like just yesterday that WSC stu- dents, along with students from the other nine state colleges, grew concerned over the possibility of a strike by faculty and librarians. Last semester, tension grew as we all waited for Governor Edward King to sign the faculty contract calling for a 10 per- cent pay increase. After weeks of negoti- ating and re-negotiating, he finally signed it, and here we are again. Actually, there is no need for this scene to be repeated. The contract was signed and the pay raise was approved, so why hasn ' t the faculty received the money yet? It ' s unfortunate that we, the students, have to suffer because of this. Profes- sors are giving us extra work so that if there is a strike we ' ll have enough work to last awhile; work-to-rule began last week; everywhere you look, preparations are being made for a strike, and we get the brunt of them when it ' s the Senate that should be. However, we can ' t blame the faculty; they have families to support and bills to pay. Obviously, Senate doesn ' t realize that a strike would affect many, not just faculty and librarians. It ' s an un- fortunate situation for everyone involved. Think of the parents who might receive phone calls this weekend by sons and daughters saying, Hi Mom and Dad. Can you come and pick me up? Think of the problems a strike will cause for graduat- ing seniors, summer jobs and travel plans. And then of course, think of us, the stu- dents, who always seem to get the short end of the stick whenever talk of a strike comes up. We don ' t know whether we ' re coming or going (literally). It ' s too bad that so many people will be hurt by a strike if there is one. I just wish there were a better way to solve the prob- lem between the faculty union and the Senate, but if this is the only solution that will work, let ' s hope it all gets cleared up as quickly as possible before even more harm is done. Letter About Strike Sent To Students by Diane Casey There are approximately 1.8 million wives beaten by their husbands each year. A battered woman can be of any race, religion, social class or age. Any- one can be the victim. This fact and oth- ers concerning battered women were dis- cussed by Alida Merlo, Westfield State College Criminal Justice professor at a lecture on March 24, sponsored by the Women ' s Organization for Awareness. According t o Merlo, many cultural myths haunt women who have been beat- en such as that they are masochistic. An- other myth is that it is usually lower class women who are beaten more often. This is said because poor women are more likely to go to clinics for help. The richer women are afraid of their social status being damaged. A cultural myth about the man who beats women is that he is a psy- chopath, but men usually apologize after they beat a woman and psychopaths don ' t apologize for their faults. Battered women are often not given sympathy because thay don ' t leave the man who beats them. The women don ' t leave for many economically independent and live in fear. They have grown up to be dependent on men since they were chil- dren. Men, on the other hand, are taught to be strong and independent. One reason why men are violent is be- cause they were raised in an environment that was conducive to violence. They have a will to dominate. If the women ar- gue better verbally then the men feel that they must dominate physically. Many times the problem doesn ' t arise until after marriage. Some men consider a their wives are their property and that they can do whatever they want with them. According to Merlo, the media has add- ed to the problem. Movies such as Ur- ban Cowboy, Fort Apache, The Bronx, Resurrection, and Gone with the Wind, include scenes which women are beaten and dominated. Commercials depict women as children and helpless. Soap operas also contain violence against women. Merlo said that the situation has no simple solutions or simple explanations. Society must get many parents tell their children that the reason they hit them is because they love them, so a husband hits his wife because he loves her. Wom- en must feel that they don ' t deserve to be beaten. A feeling of self worth must be predominant in order to combat the prob- lem. The situation of battered women is get- ting better. There are more shelters, bet- ter laws and more social service pro- grams. Police departments and legisla- tures are becoming sensitized to the problem. The problem is improving but as Merlo said, 118 C.J. Club Goes To Philly by Elizabeth Rascati The Criminal Justice club has declared the trip to Philadelphia closed. Nine peo- ple have signed up, to go and the reserva- tions have been made. From March 1 1 to March 14 the mem- bers will be going to the site of the Nation- al Academy of Criminal Science ' s 1981 Convention. The President of the C.J. club, Dave Lambert, stated that most of the people going on the trip are C.J. majors. Besides the forthcoming trip, some of the activities of the club this year have been a trip to Newgate Prison, the Fresh- man Transfer Reception for C.J. majors, a P.C.P. speaker, a Christmas party and several films, including two rape movies, a prison movie and The Godfather. Lambert also indicated that on Tues- day, March 10, at 3:30, a speaker from the Earn It program are to the club in Ely 301. The Earn It program is a victim resti- tution program which provides a chance for the convict to pay or work for the wrong that he has committed. It is a very successful organization. Meetings are held every other Tuesday at 3:30 in room 301, Ely. The faculty advi- sor is John Jones, who can be contacted at extension 309. A First by Wendy Wells and John Martins WSKB-FM in Westfield has been broadcasting all of the home games of the WSC Baseball Owls and will continue to do so for the remainder of the season. The broadcasting team for the Owls was originally composed of Bill Keegan and John Martins; however, the staff has expanded to include John Connely, Bruce Parker, Vinnie Vassalo, and Bob Ueker. WSKB has received positive reviews towards this move, and little difficulty has been experienced. In the second game of the doubleheader against Salem State College, however, outfielder for the Owls Bob Payne walked by our location and crashed into a phone line responsible for keeping the game on the air, and ripped the line in two. The listeners than exper- ienced a 20-minute delay. This is the first time in the history of WSKB and Westfield State College that the baseball games have been broadcast on the airwaves. WSKB is open to com- ments and or criticisms, and wishes to thank the many people who listen to the games on WSKB. 119 Mismanagement of The Campus Center by Diane Casey Why should organizations such as dorms, classes and clubs have to suffer for the mismanagement of the Campus Center? The C.C will not be putting much money into Spring Weekend because it spent the money in the budget unwisely. Now it is the students that will suffer. Two concerts that bombed financially took a big chunk of money out of the bud- get. The Program Board made recom- mendations to the Campus Center Advi- sory Board. These ideas were obviously not the best. The bands that played were good but the scheduling was very poor. Both were on a week night and many stu- dents had tests. The blame should not be placed on the members of the PB nor the CCAB. It goes to the ultimate power of the C.C. which is the director, Daryl Hendery. The PB makes recommendations to the CCAB who in turn makes recommenda- tions to Hendery. It is Hendery who makes the final decision. As it stands now, the classes, dorms and any other organization will have to spend money to have activities on Spring Weekend. Spring Weekend is not the only function that will be affected. The PB recently asked Student Senate for $2,000 to spon- sor a concert since their funds are low. Spring Weekend Up In Air by Judy Uchman Will there be a Spring Weekend in 1981? At the Student Senate meeting on March 24, 1981, Robert Peznola, Davis Hall representative and chairman of the Save Spring Weekend Committee, an- nounced that the committee was being dissolved due to lack of interest and sup- port. Spring Weekend is traditionally the last weekend before finals, and is celebrated by parties and outdoor concerts. As a result of re-appropriation of week- end funds into Campus Center renova- tions, this year ' s weekend is not being funded by the Campus Center. Laura Liberty, treasurer of Senate, tailed a request made by Peznola for $2,300 for concerts during the weekend until a possible re-allocation of class gift funds by the senior class could be dis- cussed. The senior class officers are slated to meet with Daryl Hendery, Dircetor of the Campus Center, to discuss the matter. Although there is no longer a Spring Weekend Committee, said Peznola, there will be two concerts on the nights of May 9 and 10, and a crafts fair on Sat- urday afternoon in place of the traditional concert. Money could have been taken out of the total that is reserved for the renovation of the inside of the C.C. but the CCAB decid- ed against it. The mis-management will lead to less functions — or at least those that coast a considerable amount of money. Other projects like racquetball tournaments and playing pool competitively will be offered. These activities are fine, but the student body deserves more. They paid their fee and now they are being cheated. Hopefully, people responsible have learned their lesson so that this type of embarrassment won ' t happen again. Air Raid Alarms Startle Westfield by Linda Kasparian First they tried to shut off their alarm clocks but found they wouldn ' t turn off. Then they thought it might be a fire alarm but realized it was too different and too loud to be that. Some even thought they might be dreaming. Sound familiar? That was no dream; WSC students were awoken at 3:58 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10 by the city ' s air raid alarm. And it wasn ' t just students who leaped out of bed to see if we were under enemy at- tack; city residents also wondered at the alarm. Civil Defense Director Robert Gardner said some alarms sounded for more than one hour because officials couldn ' t figure out how to shut them off. The air raid alarms hadn ' t been tested for the last six years because of budget cuts; they used to be tested weekly. And what caused the sudden shrieking of the alarms at that hour? According to a spokesman at the Westfield Police Sta- tion, a malfunction in telephone lines caused the air raid alarm to ring. What- ever the cause may be, it was something that will remain in the memories of WSC students for years to come. Casey Reflects by Diane Casey Reflecting on the academic year, a list of a few things that have affected the lives at WSC was compiled. Tuition increase Lack of housing Incompetent housing Useless administration Lack of communication among all facets of the college Apathy Fee increases Vandalism High tech take over Dover Project Spring Weekend fiasco Administrative raises Faculty not being paid Board of Regents in power Reagan ' s budget cuts Limitations on financial aid Unwritten rules that must be followed No student representation on the Alcohol policy not revised yet Board of Trustees Strike No student representation on the John Lennon murdered Board of Regents BE A MERCENARY FOR THE U.S.A. — Good pay, decent food! — See exotic places throughout the worldl — Meet exciting and interesting people!

UConn took first place with a score of 1 12.60; Keene was second with 1 10.65; and Westfield third with 97.40. Top performers for the Owls were Judy Ziemski, with a 5.65 on the eneven bars; Beth Hawkins, scoring a 6.6 on the bal- ance beam; Denise Tetro with a 7.25 in vaulting; and Linda Gibbons, with a 7. 15 in the floor exercise. Senior Kathy Serpis gave a remarkable performance by competing on the bars with a cast on her leg, scoring a 4.9. The final defeat left the Owl women with a 7-6 record. 1 4 ' A w New England Champ Bob D ' Agnese Boxing Club Re-Activated by John Martins Sprinting Coach (and Assistant Coach) Jim Peters is always bugging him about not going to another school and playing either football or basketball; he feels that he is the best athlete on campus. Bob D ' Agnese is a 6 ' , 180 lb. junior from Swampscott. D ' Agga has one ma- jor goal this spring, and that is to become an All-American. Bob started running seriously in the 1 1th grade. That year he made it to the State High School Finals; and in his sen- ior year he won the Class C finals. After he graduated, Bob went to Bridgetown Academy, a prep school in Maine, solely for academic reasons. While there, Bob competed in the Maine Prep School Championships, where he won both the 220 and the 440. Bob had offers from other schools, but he decided to come to Westfield. Bob ad- mits that the track program at WSC was a major factor in his choice. As a freshman, Bob was a National Competitor, and helped his team place 9th in the country in the sprint relay. In his sophomore year, D ' Agga set school records in the 600 meters and the 440(indoors). In the spring, he was the New England 400 meters champion of Di- vision III, and was also a member of the All-New England Division I sprint relay team. Recently, Bob became the New Eng- land Division III 500 meters champion. It ' s difficult to say how much time Bob spends training each day, but he trains 12 months a year. You have to be really dedicated to become an All-American, D ' Agnese stated. With his dedication and ability, Bob D ' Agnese may very well achieve his goal. 122 by Linda Kasparian Boxing has recently been re-activated as a club at WSC. According to President Pilecki, at least six WSC students inter- ested in boxing used facilities at Western New England College in Springfield be- cause of a lack of boxing facilities at this college. Last semester supplies and equipment were ordered by Pilecki and were delivered this fall, when a boxing ring was set up at the Juniper Park gym- nasium for practice. Dr. Pilecki stated that the purpose of having a boxing club on campus is to di- vert some of these young gentlemen from some of their questionable pasttimes, such as the use of alcohol and drugs. Since being set up, between 15 and 25 students have been practicing regularly at the ring. Pilecki has assured the col- lege that there will be no competitive matches; however, according to Student Senate President Charlie Ruddy, if there is shown to be a great interest in the club and it does well, it can apply to the Athle- tic Council to become a team, and match- es would be held. Already six staff and faculty members have volunteered to train those students interested in boxing. Gloves and bags were delivered this fall, and a position was advertised in local newspapers for a trainer for the club. Hockey Beats West Point The WSC hockey team was victorious in their long-awaited game against West Point. WSC skated to a 5-4 win as Chris Cullen in goal stopped 38 shots. WSC had fewer shots on goal, (27), but made them count. Freshmen Brian MacNamara and Bruce Hurst scored the first two goals. Jeff Wojcik had two goals while Paul LeBlanc scored the remaining goal. Bobby Hess and Kenny Guittarr each had two assists. In the Elmira Tournament, WSC lost to Elmira 5-3. Jeff Wojcik had two goals while Rick Williams had the other. Bobby Hess aided the team ' s effort with two as- sists. Chris Cullen made 29 saves. In the second game of the tournament against a strong Colgate team, the Owls were out- played and lost 12-4. Paul LeBlanc, Mike Maclnnis, Jeff Wojcik and Bobby Hess scored in the losing effort. Wojcik also had two assists. Tom Connors received a total of 43 shots on goal while WSC shot only 16 times on goal. WSC got back to their winning ways against Union College. Dave Stefanelli and Jeff Wojcik each had two goals in the 8-4 victory. Bobby Heyner, Rick Williams, Kevin Salo and Mike Maclnnis also scored. Chris Cullen was in goal and made 22 saves. In the game against Fairfield, the Owls took the offensive and won handily by a score of 10-3. Freshman Bruce Hurst got a hat trick while Randy Parker, Paul LeB- lanc and Anders Waldner each scored twice. Jeff Wojcik also added a single goal. The Owls lost to Holy Cross on Decem- ber 6th. The hockey team had a 3-1 lead after the first period but finally lost by a score of 8-5. John Barrett had two goals while Tim Murphy and Kevin Prowse each had one in the losing effort. Randy Parker ' s two goal effort pushed WSC past their opponent, in the consola- tion game of the Holy Cross Tourney. Bri- an Cox also played a superb game tally- ing once. The final score, 6 -1, WSC. Baseball Team Is Going South The WSC Owls baseball team began pre-season workouts on January 21st in preparations for their annual Spring, Southern Trip. Thirty-three players are on the squad which will play B games also with area schools. The Owls have a 42 game regular season schedule and hope they get back into the NCAA Tournament they belonged to for six straight years before they got tripped up last year and missed the tournament by one game. Co- captains Rob DelBianco (Center Rutland, VT.) and John Veneziano (Medford) lead the squad. Assisting Coach Magarian this year is former two year captain Steve Perry (WSC Class of ' 78) from Bridgewater. Highlights of this season ' s trip will be games in Washington, D.C., and games with the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech. and Duke University. The Owls must have a successful trip to start the season high in rankings. A year ago Westfield State was ranked 4th in the Country in Baseball, before their slump season of ' 79-80. Coach Magarian says, for many reasons this must be a good season . Practices at 6:30 A.M. most ev- ery morning will either make or break the team. Their first game in Washington is now less than a month away. Outing Club Travels To N.H. by Susan Byrne Experienced canoers and novices are invited to join the Outing Club for a canoe trip down the Sacho River in New Hamp- shire. The trip is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of April 24. Canoers will travel approximately thir- ty-five miles the first day, camp at the AMC Campground, and travel fifteen miles the second day. Transportation will be provided from the ending point back to the cars. Canoes will be supplied by Timbertrails Camp. Canoers may borrow tents and backpacks from the Outing Club. 123 Champs! by John Martins The stage was set last Friday, as Westfield State faced Boston State for the Mass. State conference Title at Owl Stadium. The home fans were not disap- pointed as the booters extended their un- beaten streak to an eye-opening 16- straight games with a 3-1 victory over Boston State. This puts the Owls in good shape and it is likely that the men will go on to the playoffs. Before the contest, Coach Jim Fonte said (I) feel very confident about the game , and he felt that his team was well-prepared . Westfield proved their coach right as they totally dominated the contest. In the first half, Fred Paulo, out of Chi- copee, tallied first to get the Owl ' s off and flying and Sr. Tri-Captain, Hector Gomes scored to give Westfield a 2-0 lead at halftime. Westfield dominated this half in every aspect, and Boston State was quite fortunate that they escaped the half with only a 2-0 deficit. Junior Captain, John Leahy put the frosting on the cake with a goal in the second half to put the Owls up by a score of 3-0. Earlier in the day, John attributed the team ' s success to good coaching, a high level of motivation, and a good amount of talent . Boston State finally got on the board with a late tally by Boston ' s George Jae- ploe; accounting for the final score of 3- 1 . So where do the Owls go now? Hopeful- ly they will make it to the NCAA Division III Regional Playoffs. Westfield has a bright future in the soccer program, with a good amount of Freshmen talent playing in the program and getting well needed exper- ience. The Owl staff would like to congratu- late the men for a banner season, and we wish them luck in the playoffs. Hockey Team Awarded by Laura Liberty The Westfield State hockey team fin- ished the 80-81 season with an overall record of 17-11-1. This record won the team a spot in the E.C.A.C. Division II playoffs for the third straight year. The team, seeded seventh in the west, trav- eled to Plattsburg, New York on February 28. However, Plattsburg, seeded second, proved to be too much for the Owls, who were defeated 9-5. With graduation this year, the Owls will lose John Barrett, Paul Lokey LeBlanc, Kevin Prowse, Dave Stefanelli and Bob Heyner. Although losing these four-year veterans, the Owls should have a well- stocked team, even before the freshman of 1982 hit the ice. The 81-82 team will be led by Tri-Captains Chris Cullen, Brian Cox, and Tim Murphy. One of the added extras this season was a chance for the hockey fans at WSC to participate in an appreciation night for the team. This took place on February 25, and this season ' s awards went to Chris Cullen (MVP), Freshman Mike Crowley (the most improved player., player), and Dave Stefanelli, who received the Coach ' s Award for his contributions to the team on and off the ice. Admittance Cards No Longer Being Used by Linda Meservey Do you remember what a struggle it was to hold onto course admittance cards long enough to submit them to the appropriate professor? Those computer admittance cards are no longer being used. According to Dean Hagan, the faculty wasn ' t passing the cards in to the regis- trar ' s office. Since the start of this se- mester, a new system has been in force. The new system calls for the registrar ' s office to receive a list of all students in each class. Their names are run through a computer and compiled on a sheet for each particular course. The sheet is giv- en to the faculty member at the start of the semester. Within the first two weeks of every se- mester, there are approximately 2,500 in- stances of students dropping or adding a course to their schedules. In order to maintain a permanent record of the stu- dents in a particular class, all faculty members will receive class lists four times during a semester. Dean Hagan hopes that the new admit- tance system will help teachers keep an accurate class list without the problem of lost computer cards. Intramural Notes by John Martins The 1981 Street Hockey League has just begun with 20 Men ' s teams and 17 Women ' s teams competing. Off to a quick lead in the Men ' s Eastern Division are the Hermaphrodites and Bad II. In the Men ' s Western Division, Bad and the Headers are tied for the number one slot. In the Women ' s Eastern Division, RLD leads, while in the West, the Bonkers and Madness clubs are tied. The 1981 Foul Shooting competition has been completed, and Greg Jodry was the overall winner. Greg hit 43 out of 50 shots in the final set. The 1981 Basketball One on One Champion is Peter Hite, Peter captured the title when he defeated Jim Buckly in the final round. Intramural Softball rosters are due to- day and games will begin on Monday, April 6th. Also, rosters for Intramural In- door Outdoor Soccer must be submitted by next Thursday, April 9th and the games begin on Monday the 13th. 124 18-7 by John Martins The Men ' s Varsity Volleyball Team has been going unnoticed this season, and has quietly compiled a record of 18-7, while qualifying for the New England Divi- sion II Volleyball Playoffs. Earlier in the season, the Owls compet- ed in the New England Open Tournament, and came home with a second place tro- phy. Members of the team are: Senior Cap- tain Louis Giancola; Juniors Jim Cadello, Mike Devine, and Glen Larcombe; Sopho- mores Mark Berry, and Dave Sullivan, and Freshmen Mark Devaney, Peter Gardner, Tom Murphy, Mark Petti, and Chris Proco- pis. The New England Division II Playoffs will be held in either New Haven, Ct., or Boston, Ma., and it is a single-elimination tournament. There is one team from Con- necticut who is presently undefeated and it will probably be seeded in the top posi- tion. However, with a single elimination tournament, anything can happen. The future for WSC Volleyball looks very promising, with all but one player from this year ' s squad returning next year. Equestrians Get Funded Swim Club Organized by Judy Pilecki Karen McCormack The Westfield State College Swim Club has been organized and is actively look- ing for new members. Membership is co- educational and is open to anyone in the student body. During practice hours, (2:30-4:00 daily) Coach David Laing helps improve the swimming or diving skills of the individ- uals in order to strengthen their perfor- mances in the swim meets. For those who wish to learn new techniques, the oppor- tunity is available at these practices. Two exciting meets against Mt. Ho- lyoke and UMass have already been held. These meets provided the experience of visiting other schools, meeting their stu- dents, and the excitement of competition. A good time was had by all. The Student Senate has just voted and approved a budget for the club which will enable the club to have meets at home as well as an away meet at Bridgewater on February 19. Attendance is not mandatory for this club, and anyone interested is welcome at any of the practices. by Gabrielle Caggiano The Westfield State Equestrain Club has been offering weekly jumping les- sons. The lessons are given at Heritage Farms in Easthampton by Mrs. Eileen Rauscher and her three sons. The club has been riding at Heritage Farms for the past eight weeks. Lessons cost $5 an hour on the flat and $8 an hour for jumping. The new jumping students are Gabrielle Caggiano, Susan MacNamara, Lisa Pet- niunas, and Robin Scanlon. These girls have a lot of potential and really enjoy the new challenge which jumping creates. It is a very dangerous activity but we are confident that our rid- ers know what they are doing. We hope to begin show jumping next semester, re- marked club president Lauren Rooney. Recently, the Westfield State College Equestrian Club was granted $1868.35 for next year ' s expenses. This year the club requested $3000 and received only $300. The money was to be spent on transportation and cutting a percentage of the lesson costs which the riders had to pay. The money allotted for next year ' s sea- son will be used not only for transporta- tion but entry fees at the horseshows, les- sons, and possibly extra safety equip- ment. WSC Clubs Ranked High by John Martins Westfield State College teams are fi- nally getting the recognition and reward they deserve, and this can be shown in the rankings of many of their teams. The WSC Lacrosse Team is currently ranked 15th in New England, and is riding the crest of a 4-1 season. The only loss that the Owls received was at the hands of Babson College by a score of 10-9. WSC should have come away with the victory, however, a last minute surge by Babson took the victory away from the Owls. The Lacrosse Team starts a ho- mestand on April 18th; it will run until May 30th. A team in only its fourth or fifth varsi- ty season has much to be proud of in its 15th ranking. WSC ' s Men ' s Volleyball Team made it into a post-season tournament, and com- piled a phenomenal record. Results of this tournament will be posted in the next issue of the Owl. The WSC Baseball Owls are ranked second in Division III Baseball at the pre- sent time: they started the season ranked 8th, and in less than two weeks they have impressed everyone in New England with an overall 9-1 mark. We at the Owl honor all of the competi- tors in the WSC sports programs. This is the year for sports excellence on the campus of Westfield State College. Seniors Honored At Convocation Ninety-nine graduating seniors at Westfield State College were honored at the Senior Convocation held Wednesday, April 22, in Dever Auditorium. Part of a graduating class of 600 students, these seniors were the recipients of various academic awards presented to outstand- ing students by their departmental chair- man or by the 1981 class officers. Those students receiving Academic Excellence Awards, in recognition of the attainment of academic excellence in their undergraduate major, were, in the Art Department: Liann Alves and Kimberly Brennan; in Biology: Deborah J. Avalone, Brian J. Carroll, Leonard D. Holmes, and Laura J. Lafleur; in Economics Business Administration: Mary Fandel; in Criminal Justice: Julie M. Duggan, David E. Lam- bert, and Nancy M. Szablinski; in the Eng- lish Department: Robert Bourdon and Ju- dith Uchman; in Mathematics and Com- puter Science: Robert F. King and Karin Temple; in Media Studies: Judith Shee- han; in Political Science: Cynthia D. Hainsworth and Raymond Towle; in Psy- chology Department: Ellen Courtney and Bonnie Allen; in Social Science; Roger Goodsell, Joan Foster, Mary Ginley, and Lynne Kelly; and in the History Depart- ment: Margaret Phaneuf and Mary Lewis. The Class of 1981 and its officers pre- sented both the Wisdom and Merit Awards and the Senior Appreciation Awards to classmates chosen not only for outstanding academic records but also for class involvement. Receiving Wisdom and Merit Awards were Peter Concannon, Joanne Piazzi, Nancy Eames, Nancy Szablinski, and Linda Littlefield. Senior Appreciation Awards were given to Class President Karen Lindsay, Mary Sullivan, Judy Sheehan, Gayle Barthole- mew, Susan Buma, Margaret Finn, Maria O ' Brien, Scott O ' Brien, Lynne Whitaker, and Julie Devlin. Recipients of Senior Scholarships, awarded by the College ' s Scholarship Committee, were: Paula Beauregard and Kristine Lanser. The following Westfield State students, chosen by the Student National Educa- tion Association (SNEA) in cooperation with the Education Department at the Col- lege, received Teacher Competency Awards: Edward Cataldo, Brenda Mastro- mattei, Patrick Pepper, Lynn Reynolds, Margaret Wilayto, Rosemary Alves, Gary Braese, Tina Celata, Peter Concannon, Joanne Connolly, Joanne Conti, Cheryl Cotter, Janice Decker, Dianne Pizo, Dianne Doyle, Denise Fournier, Irene Fur- nelli, Karin Gallagher, Nancy Gerow, Sharon Gillis, Carol Gleason, Mary Greene, Robin Hayes, Bradford Howe, Elizabeth Howe, Melanie Karantis, Caro- lyn Daniels, Jane Lamothe, Cathleen Le- pore, Sue Leto, Linda Littlefield, Robin Lowry, Linda Medonis, Maria O ' Brien, Scott O ' Brien, Margaret O ' Malley, Judith Sharland, Linda Tkowski, Christine Walsh, Cathleen Walsh, Virginia Ricci, Mary Julian, Judith Aldrich, Timothy Tier- ney, Karen Rocbon, Joann Quinn, and Ka- ren Fillebrow. Interns at Westfield State College who have earned an A grade in their depart- ment were, in Criminal Justice: Stephen Curtis, John Marr, Paul Wolfe, Paula Des- rosiers, Nancy Cohen, Paul Hartford, Mark Leroux, Angela Neil, Bonnie Press, and Steve Sjostedt; in Political Science: Cynthia Hainsworth and Kevin Decoste. 126 Convocation Absenteeism Convocation, 1981 — a day for gradu- ating seniors to be honored. The pres- ence of faculty at this event makes for a special day. Unaccountably, some faculty members didn ' t bother to show up at Convocation. This is not only an act of disrespect to- wards the senior class, but also a demon- stration of disregard for the new faculty contract. Page 201 of the agreement states that faculty members have the ob- ligation to attend such College functions as faculty meetings and convocations. Perhaps the absent faculty members should take some time to read their con- tract. Also, it ' s about time that the admin- istration took suitable action against these faculty members. There ' s no integ- rity in a contract which neither the admin- istration enforces or certain faculty live up to. To those faculty members who did come to Convocation: thank you, your presence was appreciated by the senior class. To those faculty members who didn ' t show up: thanks for nothing; your absence demonstrates a lack of class. Here At Last Pinball Major by Hyam A. Hypocrite As of next semester, WSC will have a new major — pinball. Andrew Johnson, Assistant Director of the Campus Center, will be the chairperson of the new Pinball Department and he thinks that the Pinball Major will attract many students. Since many students play the pinball and video games in the Campus Center, they ' ll want to be Pinball Majors, stated Johnson. He added, I ' m happy to be the chairperson of the Pinball Department be- cause I ' ll know that the students in this major are diehard pinball fanatics and will be enthusiastic about their homework. During the upcoming summer months, a contest will be held to determine who will be the new faculty members of the Pinball Department. The first five people to score 100,000 points or more on the video game Asteroids will become the col- lege ' s first pinball professors. Some of the courses which are sched- uled to be taught by the department in- clude Flippers 101 and Bumpers 102. Internships for Pinball majors will be held at Just For Fun, one of the arcades at the Ingleside Mall in Holyoke, Massa- chusetts. Students who want to be admitted into the new major should see Johnson in his office in the Campus Center at the start of next semester. One anonymous student who wishes to be a Pinball major remarked, Since I spend more money on pinball than on tu- ition per semester, I ' d like to put my mon- ey where my major is. One of the questions surrounding the new major is whether it will take students away from the college ' s other majors. When asked this question, Johnson re- plied, Let ' s just say that the Campus Center will have more students in it than the other buildings. Bumstead ' s Ways For Fun Failing by Bob Hrycay (Resubmitted on demand of the public) Hi, my name is Ralph Bumstead and I ' m a student at WSC. My cum. is 0.26. My major is Inebriation. My specialty is guz- zling beer until my liver explodes. I party a lot. I almost never go to classes. But I have fun. And that ' s the name of the game in college — to have fun. My motto is, You only go around once in life — so have fun. I have so much fun that I ' ve been kicked out of eight colleges so far. My folks always understand. They have to. I didn ' t ask to be born, you know. Failing classes is fun. Tests are fun to fail. Here are some sure-fire ways to fail and have fun at the same time. 1 . Go to class naked on test day. Say to the professor that you were concentrat- ing so hard on doing well on the test that you forgot to dress. A great way to break everyone up. 2. Show up drunk. Belch a lot. Drump some brew on the professor ' s head. Pre- tend to barf in the waste basket. Be gross. 3. Puncture the tires on your profes- sor ' s car. Spray-paint the word jerk on the windshield. Show up to class carrying the professor ' s hubcaps. Spray-paint the professor ' s nose when he walks in. 4. Show up to class with your pet ratt- lesnake. Let it loose and say kill while pointing at the professor. Offer to pay $10 of the professor ' s emergency medical treatment for snakebite. 5. Show up on test day dressed as San- ta Claus. Say Ho, ho, ho while reading the questions. Start throwing confetti. Play your harmonica. Sing Christmas songs. Distribute naked photos of your- self to your classmates. These are only a few ways to fail and have fun. I can ' t write anymore because I ' ve just been kicked out of school. But by golly I had fun here! 127 ■■■■Ill V.

You will not be sheltered from The threat of failure, nor from moral decay, Grief, lonliness, sickness of heart, unrequitted Love, nor the consequences of a love too Hot to handle. I know of some colleges Where students are not even properly Sheltered from the weather. Let us Forget the shelter of Ivy halls, it is A lie, it does not exist. As for entering the mainstream of life, Where are you now? Will you ever again Live more than you have lived during the past four years? You are up to your ears in life and never will you Love more, and hate more, cry more, And laugh more than the years you Are in college. You will know despair And hope, lonliness and friendship, And bone-crushing fatigue and gaiety and Exhaultations — all the fruits of living, Sweet and bitter. I cannot think of Anything you will be spared of and I Would not have it otherwise, you are Right now in the mainstream of Life. Keep On, live every minute.

But the only reason a book is garbage is because the staff has not made an emotional commitment to the project. All that ' s needed is a little determination and a couple of ideas to act as a foundation and everything snaps into place. Hopefully this year ' s yearbook is not garbage. I would like to thank the following people for their time and effort in making this yearbook one of the best yearbook to come out of W.S.C. Editor-in-Chief: Maria O ' Brien Assistant Editor: Lynda McCarthy Business Editor: Joan Foster Layout Editor: Maureen Bowen Photographers: Debbie Topor Burt Miller Ed Collins Literary Editor: Lynne Whitaker Robin Lowry Staff: Cyndi Hainsworth, Cathy Robidou, Margie Finn, Joan Niland, Denise Salzmann, Kathy Walsh, and anyone else I might have forgotten.
