Juke  box  alternatives 


by  Amy  Mollis 

Most  students  headed  Uptown  on  weekends  to  go  dancing,  or 
drinking — or  both.  Others  hung  out  to  the  accompaniment  of  a 
jukebox  or  DJ.  but  many  more  hiked  uptown  to  see  their  favorite 
local  bands  play  at  bars  like  the  Dugout,  the  Union  and  O'  Hooley "  s. 
Kristin  Hale,  freshman,  said  she  preferred  to  see  live  perfor- 
mances. "It's  louder,  more  real  and  more  tangible,"  she  said.  "I  like 
seeing  the  people,  watching  the  dancing — especially  at  a  more 
hard-core  show,  with  the  pit."  Hale  said  she  attended  several  bar 
performances  throughout  the  year,  includina  the  Snapdragons  and 
Big  Red  Truck. 

For  the  students  that  wanted  to  hear  several  groups  play,  the 
University  Program  Council  sponsored  "OUPalooza"  at  the  Nick- 
elodeon fall  quarter.  Like  the  original  "Lollapalooza,"  OUPalooza 
featured  a  diverse  spectrum  of  bands  ranging  from  local  rappers  and 
R&B  groups  to  full-blown  rock  and  roll. 

Although  area  bands  dominated  OUPalooza  and  the  live  music 
scene  in  Athens,  many  favorites  such  as  the  Snapdragons  and  Royal 
Crescent  Mob  traveled  to  Southeast  Ohio  to  perform.  Oroboros,  a 
Cleveland-based  group,  also  made  several  trips  to  play  locally.  Jim 
Miller,  the  band's  lead  guharist  and  vocalist,  said  he  enjoyed 
playing  at  OU  because  he  felt  at  home.  "We  have  a  lot  of  friends  here 
and  have  had  some  wild  experiences.  We  love  Athens."  Miller  said. 

UPC  also  worked  to  bring  more  nationally-known  groups  to  OU, 
such  as  R.C.  Mob  and  Dread  Zeppelin.  They  Might  Be  Giants  fans 
also  got  a  pleasant  surprise  when  UPC  announced  that  the  group's 
tour  would  include  a  stop  in  Athens  in  October. 

But  the  Giants'  performance  at  Memorial  Auditorium  left  fans 
with  mixed  feelings.  Jennifer  Agricola,  a  freshman,  said,  "Overall 
I  was  a  little  disappointed  after  the  concen  because  they  didn't 
perf'orm  as  well  as  I  expected  them  to,  although  the  encore  was 
excellent." 

But  others,  like  Freshman  Erik  Laursen,  disagreed  with  Agricola. 
"They  Might  Be  Giants  rocked...!  expected  the  show  to  be  a  lot 
more  laid  back.  I  was  very  pleased  that  the  concert  was  so  different 
sounding  from  the  albums.  It  added  a  whole  new  dimension  to  their 
music." 

The  Giants  concert  eased  the  campus"  poor  record  of  attracting 
national  acts  to  the  area.  UPC  Concert  Chairwoman  Kathy  Fertara 
said  some  major  problems  with  getting  big  names  included  audi- 
ence size  and  the  cost  of  renting  various  campus  facilities.  "I  would 
like  to  see  the  university  build  a  thousand-seat  facility  that  (UPC) 
wouldn't  have  to  rent,"  she  said. 
I  However,  the  prospect  of  the  university  shelling  out  money  for 
concert  facilities  did  not  seem  likely  as  tuition  and  expenses 
continued  to  rise.  So  until  someone  finds  a  way  to  entice  more  big- 
name  national  bands  to  campus,  music  lovers  always  have  the 
alternative  of  checking  out  fresh  acts  Uptown.  -^

Pentagrams  and  poltergeists,  stories  thrive  on  campus 


by  Alison  Shaw 

Superstition  and  folklore  traditionally  played  an  important  role 
in  the  culture  of  small,  rural  towns  where  generations  of  families 
passed  on  land  and  stories  about  it  year  after  year. 

Thrown  into  the  middle  of  Athens"  tradition  and  lore.  OU 
provided  an  old  college  campus,  which  mixed  traditions  and  stories 
with  a  crowd  of  young,  intrigued  students  who  created  a  large 
haunting  of  their  ow  n  every  Halloween.  Many  of  these  students 
opened  their  eyes  and  ears  to  anything  exciting  and  extraordinary. 

While  students  and  Athens  residents  passed  around  tales  of  their 
own.  professional  groups  and  individuals  throughout  the  world 
recognized  Athens  as  a  center  point  for  the  spirits. 

The  British  Society  for  Psychic  Research  labeled 
.Athens  as 
earth." 

According  to  stories  in  an  Alden  Li- 
brary file  known  as  the  "spook  file."  a 
book  in  the  Athens  Library  listed 
Peach  Ridae  Cemetery  as  the  13th      „ 


one  of  the  most  haunted  places  on  pfOSTGry 


O 
O 


most  haunted  place  in  the  world 
Other  articles  called  it  the  1 3th 
most  haunted  in  the  country. 

Willhelm  Reich,  an  1850s 
spiritualist,  predicted  that  af- 
ter the  fall  of  the  world,  the 
area  surrounding  .-Xthens  will 
rise.  Many  people  linked  this 
prediction  to  one  of  Athens" 
infamous  tales,  a  story  con- 
cerning a  rumor  about  the  five 
paths  on  the  College  Green. 

Rumors  claimed  that  each 
path  pointed  directly  to  a  cem- 
etery in  Athens,  which  spaced 
themselves  so  symmetrically  that 

when  connected,  they  formed  a  perfect  inverted  pentagram.  This 
pentagram  supposedly  offered  the  place  of  eternal  safety,  referred  to 
by  Reich. 

Athens  Police  Officer  Ronald  K.  Brooks  said  that  in  his  27  years 
as  a  resident,  he  never  had  seen  documentation  of  the  rumored 
pentagram.  However,  a  rough  sketch  in  the  ""spook  file"  linked 
together  five  of  the  nearly  50  area  cemeteries  to  form  a  pentagon. 

Some  sources  located  all  five  cemeteries  along  Peach  Ridge, 
while  others  failed  even  to  mention  the  cemeteries"  names.  The  two 
most  mentioned  cemeteries.  Sims  cemetery  and  Hanning  cemetery, 
claimed  ghost  stories  of  their  own  concerning  natural  rock  forma- 
tions, old  trees,  seances,  and  hauntings. 

The  most  intriguing  detail  of  the  pentagram  story,  however, 
overlapped  the  well-known  campus  ghost  story,  the  haunting  of 
Wilson  Hall. 

None  of  the  "spook  t"ile""  articles  mentioned  the  rumor  that  the 
College  Green  sat  in  the  middle  of  the  inverted  pentagram.  But  one 
story  placed  West  Green  in  the  center  of  the  large  inverted  star. 


Furthermore,  university  records  and  county  property  deeds  revealed 
that  a  plot  of  land  on  West  Green  originally  held  a  graveyard  site 
maintained  by  the  Athens  State  Mental  Hospital.  Wilson  Hall,  the 
sight  of  rumored  ghosts,  rested  on  top  of  this  ancient  grave  yard. 

By  sophomore  year,  almost  every  student  knew  the  details  of  at 
least  one  rumor  concerning  Wilson  Hall.  The  most  popular  one 
involved  a  female  student  who  slit  her  wrists,  but  somehow  mustered 
the  strength  to  paint  a  bloody  dragon  on  the  ceiling.  The  painting 
supposedly  reappeared  despite  the  university"  s  efforts  to  clean  it. 
Rumor  held  that  university  officials  turned  the  room  into  a  storage 
room,  because  of  reports  of  ghosts  and  strange  occurrences. 

Records  showed  that  hauntings  reportedly  took  place  in  Wilson 
Hall,  but  nothing  revealed  a  suicide.  The  hauntings  began  in  428 
Wilson  Hall,  where  bricks  and  jars  of  Noxema  began 
flinging  themselves  across  the  room  in  the  early 

Ig'JOs. 

In  the  late  1970s,  the  university 

closed  down  Wilson  Hall  because  of 

•  -^    lowerenrollment.  While  the  building 

~  '^      remained  empty,  three  reporters 

spent  the  night  in  room  428  and 

/-\     roamed  around  the  fourth  floor 

Q     without  finding  traces  of  ghosts. 

■o    spirits,  or  poltergeists.  In  the 

■^   room  of  a  former  resident 

—^  assistant,  who  took  an  interest 

^  in  the  spiritual  world,  they 

~<   found  a  ""not-so-scary""  dragon 

•    painted  on  the  wall  in  red.  The 

r~\  reporters  had  interviewed  the 

^  RA  a  few  weeks  before,  so  the 

O    suicide/dragon  rumor  seemed 

^    a  bit  unlikely. 

Since  Wilson  Hall  re- 
opened, it  has  housed  males  and 
females  of  all  class  ranks.  Adrienne 
Oberth.  a  sophomore,  lived  on  the  fourth  floor  of  Wilson.  ""I  haven't 
seen  anything  to  confirm  (the  hauntings).""  she  said.  ""I  haven"t  heard 
any  spooky  noises  or  flying  objects."" 

Most  Wilson  Hall  residents  agreed  with  Oberth.  and  seemed 
content  with  their  living  conditions.  After  an  inspection  of  the 
premises,  however,  sophomore  Lisa  Eidam  reported  that  the  room 
numbers  skipped  from  426  to  429.  She  said  nobody  lived  in  these 
rooms  and  they  did  not  have  numbers  on  their  doors. 

While  some  students  passed  off  these  stories  as  superstition  and 
rumors,  others  grasped  for  spiritual  knowledge  by  visiting  grave- 
yards, holding  seances,  and  playing  with  Ouija  boards. 

The  Rev.  Bekki  Shining  Bear-Heart,  co-ow  ner  of  Horsefeathers. 
22  Palmer  St..  practiced  Goddess/Nature  spirituality.  She  warned 
people  of  these  "unprotected""  spiritual  ventures. 

"There  are  spirits  that  don"t  make  it  o\  er  to  the  other  side,  and  they 
hang  out.'"  she  said.  "You  don't  want  to  mess  with  them. ...For  them 
to  stay  around  in  this  environment  is  a  waste  of  their  time  and  sets  up 
a  situation  where  spirit  possession  can  happen  very  easily.""  i^-

Lining  the  streets  to  eat 

by  Amy  Buringrud 

Imagine  East  Union  without  the  buggies  —  it  would  almost  be 
like  Paris  without  the  Eiffel  Tower.  Ed  Fischer  ran  one  of  the  first 
buggies.  The  Purple  Chop  Sticks,  in  1978.  That  first  card  table  and 
wok  combo  introduced  Athens  to  buggies.  Eventually,  the  vending 
became  more  advanced  with  specific  locations,  specialized  prod- 
ucts and  more  equipment. 

Seven  buggies  lined  Athens'  streets,  including  The  Bagel, 
Pizza,  Burrito,  and  Branko  Buggies,  The  Yellow  Sub  Machine, 
Uptown  Sweaters,  and  the  White  Flying  Saucer.  Each  sold  a 
completely  different  product.  This  helped  eliminate  any  competi- 
tion or  animosity  between  the  owners,  said  Tom  Fitzmaurice, 
owner  of  Uptown  Sweaters  and  The  Yellow  Sub  Machine. 

Many  people  preferred  the  buggies"  food  over  nearby  restau- 
rants. Sophomore  Rachael  Haynes  ate  at  The  Bagel  Buggy  instead 
of  restaurants  because.  "It's  cheap  and  I  love  cream  cheese." 

Although  the  buggies  did  the  best  business  during  special  events 
such  as  Halloween,  the  crowds  normally  lined  up  at  the  aluminum 
"greasetrucks"  during  afternoons  and  after  the  bars  closed.  Antici- 
pating the  overwhelming  Halloween  crowds,  Marcy  Landolfo,  a 
senior  Bagel  Buggy  employee,  said,  "There  will  be  50,000  people 
in  front,  beside,  and  behind  us  at  all  times."  ^^

Laundry.  Everyone  hated  it.  and  unfortunately,  no  one  could 
avoid  it.  Once  a  washer  became  available,  it  took  a  miracle  for  it 
to  actually  complete  all  the  cycles.  Then,  it  took  persistence  to  find 
a  dryer. 

"I  hate  waiting  in  the  laundry  room,  but  I  don't  want  to  leave 
because  I  don't  want  anyone  to  steal  niy  clothes."  said  Freshman 
Lamont  Siller. 

Many  students  had  stories  about  laundry  disasters.  Junior  Tracy 
Chumley  shrank  some  of  her  clothing  because  the  dryers  ran  so  hot. 

Freshman  Angle  Ebert  said.  "When  the  washing  machine  was 
done  I  opened  it  and  there  was  soap  all  over  my  clothes."  When  she 
tried  again,  the  soap  had  washed  away,  but  the  clothes  were 
soaking  wet. 

Some  found  more  strategic  times  to  do  their  wash,  which 
decreased  the  wait  .  "The  best  time  to  go  is  when  everyone  is  at 
dinner."  explained  Freshman  Carolyn  Karabaic. 

Besides  the  on-campus  laundry  facilities  such  as  Game rtsfelder 
on  East  Green  and  Treudley  on  West  Green,  some  students  washed 
their  laundry  at  off-campus  laundry  mats,  or  in  their  houses  or 
apartments.  -^^

Recycled  vintage  duds 

by  Alison  Shaw 

How  did  some  students  afford  to  own  everything  from  elegant 
black  evening  gowns  to  Doc  Martens  and  still  have  money  for  a 
Halloween  costume?  Many  achieved  this  by  shopping  in  one  or 
more  locally  owned  vintage  clothing  stores.  "(Customers)  know 
that  they  can  get  very  interesting  and  very  beautiful  dresses  for 
under  forty  dollars."  said  Vicki  Juba  Moon,  owner  and  manager  of 
Juba  Moon's  Fine  &  Funky  Boutique.  1 1  E.  Washington  St. 

Moon  and  Tina  Kelsey,  managers  of  Classic  Clothing,  42  South 
Court  St..  said  that  Halloween  shoppers  generated  the  most  business 
of  the  year. 

In  mid-June,  the  opening  of  Schoolkids'  Clothing  above 
Schoolkids"  Records.  12  S.  Court  St..  added  another  vintage  cloth- 
ing store  to  the  scene. 

Tim  Sesher.  manager  of  Schoolkids'  clothing,  said  the  record 
store  boosted  sales.  "Just  being  connected  to  the  record  store  gives 
us  a  flow  of  people  that  maybe  wouldn't  normally  walk  into  a  place 
like  this,"  he  said. 

The  sale  of  Doc  Martens  at  Schoolkids'  clothing  also  helped 
business.  Sesher  said  his  store  sold  the  European  footwear  for  ten 
dollars  cheaper  than  anywhere  else  in  the  state. 

Junior  Bethany  Matsko  also  shopped  at  local  vintage  stores; 
how  e\er,  she  preferred  bigger  bargains  and  larger  stores  than  those 
in  Athens.  She  said  the  fun  part  of  shopping  vintage  involved 
walking  around  huge  thrift  stores  and  inspecting  the  merchandise 
for  the  best  bargains,  -tfk

Shellin'  out  bucks  forbooks 


ERIC  LOCSDON 


by  Amy  Francisco 


It  has  become  a  quarterly  adventure.  Students  flock  to  local 
bookstores  to  spend  large  sums  of  money. 

And  large  sums  they  were — students  said  they  spent  an  average 
of  $  1 75  per  quarter  on  books  that  varied  in  price  according  to  subject 
and  size. 

Many  who  shelled  out  money  for  books  agreed  that  the  "buy 
back"'  policy  didn't  prove  beneficial  to  anyone  but  the  bookstores. 
"At  the  end  of  the  quarter,  bookstores  make  such  a  big  deal  about 
giving  students  money  back  for  their  books,  but  they  give  us  a  small 
percentage  of  the  money  back  and  then  raise  the  prices  again."  said 
Junior  Alex  Richardson. 

Keith  Semrad,  a  junior,  agreed  the  bookstores  took  advantage  of 
students.  "The  issue  is  the  price  you  get  back  when  you  try  to  sell  the 
books  back,"  he  said.  "A  $50  book  turns  out  to  be  worth  five  dollars." 

But  the  bookstores  made  an  effort  not  to  screw  students  completely. 
After  scholars  complained  long  enough  about  the  lines  at  the 
beginning  and  end  of  each  quarter,  the  bookstores  responded  by 
adding  more  checkouts. 

"The  creation  of  more  checkouts  has  really  cut  back  on  the  time 
waiting  in  line,"  said  Sophomore  Liz  O'Connell. 

All  in  all,  the  bookstores  charged  high  prices  because  they  knew 
students  had  no  choice.  But  until  the  bookstores  lower  prices,  there"  s 
little  else  that  students  can  do.. ..except  save  up  for  next  quarter.  -^

A  day  in  a  life  of  an  R.A. 

by  Amy  Francisco 

Dorm  life,  a  memory  for  most  leaving  OU,  reminded  us  of  many 
things.  It  meant  new  people,  cramped  space  and  sharing  bathrooms 
with  people  you  did  not  know.  Yet  many  dedicated  students  chose 
to  remain  in  the  dorms  by  taking  on  new  positions  of  authority  as 
Resident  Assistants. 

One  hundred  and  ninety-five  R.A.s  lived  in  all  40  residence  halls 
on  campus  and  "made  rounds"  to  assure  security,  held  informational 
meetings  and  promoted  ideals  to  their  neighbors.  Although  they 
seemed  to  spend  a  lot  of  time  making  bulletin  boards  and  sorting 
mail,  the  R.A.s'  jobs  went  far  beyond  mail  duty. 

"I  take  this  job  very  seriously."  said  Alicia  Olasin,  a  senior  and 
third-year  R.A.  in  Gamertsfelder  Hall.  "It  takes  much  more  time  and 
work  than  people  expect.  You  are  responsible  for  a  floor  of  girls.  If 
anything  happens,  you  are  who  they  turn  to.  Most  people  don't  see 
it  like  that." 

Freshmen  looked  to  R.A.s  for  assistance  and  guidance.  As  new 
students,  they  flocked  to  older,  wiser  ones  to  help  them  get  through 
the  year.  "I'm  very  lucky  to  have  an  R.A.  I  feel  comfortable  talking 
to  and  getting  help  on  different  situations,  like  classes  and  dorm 
problems,"  said  Freshman  Amy  Losey,  a  Jefferson  Hall  resident. 

Sophomore  Ryan  Sullivan,  an  R.A.  in  Read  Hall,  said  he  enjoyed 
working  with  his  residents.  "I  really  like  the  guys  that  live  around 
me.  It's  more  of  a  friendship  than  an  Tm  better  than  you'  situation," 
Sullivan  said.  "I  hope  they  feel  they  can  come  and  talk  to  me  about 
anything."  -^

by  Amy  Hollis 

Living  in  the  Convocation  Center  is  not  quite  as  loud,  noisy  and 
uncomfortable  as  it  may  have  seemed.  The  fact  that  the  Convo 
doubled  as  a  residence  hall  surprised  many  students;  but  some 
freshmen  even  asked  to  live  there. 

Dave  Fieno,  a  sophomore,  had  mixed  feelings  after  he  was 
placed  there,  it  wasn't  meant  to  be  a  dorm,"  he  said.  "But  now  I  like 
it.  It's  a  happening  place." 

Freshman  Mary  Palmer  agreed,  saying  "It's  not  built  for  people. 
There  aren't  many  windows,  it  feels  like  you're  in  a  pen.  But  it's 
unique.  Nobody  el.se  has  a  building  like  it." 

The  room  and  bathroom  arrangements  differ  from  other  resi- 
dence halls.  The  mods  consist  of  two  quads  upstairs  and  two 
downstairs,  with  two  bathrooms  on  the  lower  level  of  each  mod. 

Some  students  wondered  if  the  noise  from  basketball  games 
bothered  the  residents,  but  freshman  Tia  Shuman  said,  "Even 
though  we'  re  under  ( the  basketball  court),  you  can '  t  hear  the  games, 
because  it's  soundproofed." 

Some  students  avoided  living  in  the  Convo  because  of  the  long 
walks  to  class  and  Uptown.  But  Matt  Feltz,  freshman,  said  he  soon 
got  used  to  the  long  treks. 

However,  Junior  Christina  Madia,  a  second-year  Resident  As- 
sistant in  the  Convo,  said  the  living  benefits  and  space  made  the 
long  haul  Uptown  worth  it.  "People  on  campus  have  no  clue  that  it's 
a  residence  hall."  Madia  said.  "They  come  in  and  say  "Holy  cow,  it's 
so  big,  there's  so  much  space!'  It's  a  great  place  to  live."  it-

Gimme  a  good  line 

by  Amy  Buringrud 

Picture  a  Friday  night.  I  tried  on  forty  or  so  outfits,  spent  almost 
an  hour  on  hair  and  make-up.  gathered  a  large  cup.  a  couple  bucks. 
a  tape  recorder  and  was  finally  ready  to  go.  A  friend  invited  me  to 
a  party  I  couldn't  pass  up. 

By  the  time  I  got  there  the  early  partiers  had  already  started  a 
second  keg.  I  immediately  met  the  keg  master.  Senior  Jim  Randolf 
who  had  the  honors  for  the  evening,  "if  you're  keg  master  at  a  party, 
you  can  fill  up  girls'  beers,  like  I'm  doing  right  now  with  your  beer 
and  your  friend's  beer,  and  it's  the  best  place  at  a  party  to  meet  girls." 

About  two  steps  later.  I  met  "The  Doctor."  otherwise  known  as 
John  Carter  Brandt,  a  fifth  year  senior.  When  he  wasn  't  "on"  with  his 
girlfriend  of  five  years,  he  admitted  to  scamming.  "I  base  a  little  of 
it  on  looks.  The  more  important  thing  about  it  is  that  she  has  to  be 
among  the  right  people.  She  has  to  have  a  good  up-bringing,  and  she 
has  to  have  certain  cultural  understandings  that  are  understandable 
to  me.  If  that  makes  any  sense." 

Freshman  Matthew  Comerford  stood  nearby,  and  quickly  of- 
fered his  rather  drunken  views  on  scamming.  "The  first  move  in 
picking  up  a  girl  is  you  have  to  be.  in  my  case,  very  drunkenness,  you 
have  to  encompass  the  right  amount  of  alcohol,  and  let's  say  you  are 
\  ery  loosened  up  and  you  can  pretty  much  say  whateveF-the  (SIS'** 
It  takes  to  hook  up  with  the  right  girl."  I  captured  this  revelation  on 
tape. 

So  w  hat  did  the  women  at  this  party  think  about  all  of  this?  They 
knew  the  routine.  Jane*,  a  junior,  knew  a  line  when  she  heard  one. 
"This  guy  came  up  to  me  goes.  "Didn't  I  go  home  with  you  last 
night?'  and  I  go.  "No,  that  wasn't  me."  He  couldn't  even  remember 
the  girl  he  had  gone  home  with,  that's  probably  the  worst  I  ever 
heard." 

As  far  as  technique.  Junior  Michael  Guhde  had  some  advice. 
"Good  scams  are  spontaneous.  It  can 't  be  a  thought  out  process.  You 
gotta  go  with  the  gut  instinct  with  it  or  else  you're  just  wasting  your 
time."  -i^

Living  the  married  life 


by  Sarah  Godby 


ERIC  LOCSDON 


Finishing  homework  and  studying  for  tests  while  doing  the 
laundry  and  maintaining  good  relations  with  one's  roommate 
challenged  nearly  every  college  student.  But  for  married  students 
like  Freshman  biology  major  Alison  Moon,  those  things  only 
topped  the  list.  "I  definitely  have  more  responsibilities  (than  other 
college  students).  Before  you're  married,  you  don't  think  of  the 
stresses,  but  it's  well  worth  it." 

Married  for  two  and  a  half  years,  Alison  and  Mark  consider 
themselves  more  prepared  for  college  life  than  other  married 
couples.  Both  had  saved  money  before  starting  school  and  Mark 
took  out  loans.  "We're  going  into  debt,  but  not  as  much  as  some 
other  couples,"  she  said. 

Junior  Janet  Edwards,  married  to  her  husband  Dale  for  three 
years,  also  found  life  much  different  than  she  had  expected.  "It's  a 
lot  harder.  It's  more  demanding.  1  thought  it  would  be  like  romance 
books,  but  that's  not  how  it  is,"  she  said.  "It's  definitely  wonh  it.  but 
you  do  a  lot  of  things  you  don't  want  to  do.  a  lot  of  chores." 

Because  she  worked  at  night  and  went  to  school  during  the  day, 
Janet's  schedule  often  affected  her  schoolwork.  "Sometimes  it's 
really  hard  for  me  to  pay  attention  in  class."  she  said.  "But  I  have 
done  a  lot  better  now,  I  knew  I  wanted  to  go  to  college,  but  I'm 
driven  to  do  well  and  get  something  out  of  it.  Before  my  parents 
w  ere  paying  for  it.  now  we're  paying."  Overall,  Janet  said  marriage 
outweighed  the  additional  responsibilities.  "I  wouldn't  trade  my 
marriage  for  anything."  ^^

Express  yourself 

by  Tracy  Hughart 

Many  students  left  their  mark  on  chairs, 
desks,  bathroom  stalls,  or  the  designated 
graffiti  wall  off  of  Richland  Avenue.  Some 
doodled  simply  to  pass  time  in  class;  others 
scribbled  their  names  in  hope  that  people 
would  notice  it.  Chairs  and  desks  in  most 
classrooms  bore  scribbled  messages  ranging 
from  names  and  dates  to  the  names  of  latest 
loves.  More  creative  people  wrote  quotes, 
song  lyrics,  or  even  poems  and  anistic  stu- 
dents left  drawings  carved  into  the  wood. 

Graffiti  filled  the  bathroom  stalls  in  Baker 
Center,  Alden  Library  and  the  Uptown  bars. 
Dennis  Shaffer,  manager  of  The  Pub.  said  the 
graffiti  is  "a  part  of  the  business  and  part  c 
the  scene  in  a  college  town.  We  paint  over  i 
when  it  reaches  the  point  that  it  is  a  seriou 
problem  and  an  eyesore."  Shaffer  said  abou 
75  percent  of  the  graffiti  in  the  Uptown  bars 
came  from  people  announcing  participation 
in  the  infamous  "Court  Street  Shuffle." 

But  the  designated  graffiti  wall  off  of 
Richland  Avenue  remained  by  far  the  largest 
and  most-read  outlet  for  graffiti  on  campus 
Hardly  anyone  passed  it  by  without  reading; 
its  spray-painted  messages.  Unlike  the  grat^- 
fiti  on  desks  and  bathroom  stalls,  "the  wall" 
messages  usually  had  a  life  span  of  less  than 
24  hours.  One  individual  even  declared  his 
love  by  writing  a  marriage  proposal  to  Dina 
from  Matt.  Many  hoped  to  see  Dina's  painted 
response,  but  her  answer  remained  a  mystery.  ♦-

Parking  may  not  look  like  a  four-letter  word,  but  it  might  as  well 
be  in  Athens,  The  lack  of  parking  has  caused  a  long  history  of  hard 
feelings  among  OU.  the  city  and  students  for  years. 

As  the  university  continued  to  grow,  the  parking  problem 
became  worse  every  year,  said  Mayor  Sara  Hendricker.  "The 
university  could  make  it  policy  to  not  have  automobiles  on  campus, 
or  they  could  do  a  better  job  of  providing  parking  on  campus,"  she 
said. 

Senior  Bryan  Jones  said  it  did  not  make  sense  that  the  university 
barred  students  from  parking  in  permit  lots  on  the  weekends. 
"During  the  weekdays  there  is  really  nothing  that  can  be  done,  but 
on  the  weekends,  most  parking  lots  in  the  university  are  empty,"  he 
said. 

Ironically,  tow  companies  towed  more  cars,  from  both  on  and 
off-campus  locations,  on  the  weekends,  said  Jeff  Higgins,  manager 
of  McKinstry  Auto  Center  and  Towing,  991  E.  State  St.  His 
company  towed  about  25  cars  in  an  average  week,  while  during 
Halloween,  his  trucks  dragged  away  as  many  as  100  cars. 

But  the  parking  problem  went  beyond  the  university.  Off- 
campus  students  who  brought  their  cars  to  college  took  available 
parking  spaces  on  the  streets  from  year-round  residents,  Hendricker 
said. 

Two  of  the  possible  solutions  to  the  parking  problem  included 
adding  a  new  parking  garage  or  creating  new  parking  lots.  Although 
the  city  council  threw  around  such  ideas  at  regular  meetings. 
Hendricker  spurned  both  as  benefitting  solely  students.  ^^-

Traditionally.  Homecoiiiing  marked  a  lime 
tor  school  spirit,  excitement,  and  sentiment 
when  festivities  and  school  pride  ahounded.  A 
spectacular  parade  marched  up  Court  .Street 
before  the  Miami  University  Redskins  played 
the  Bobcats;  even  MacGyver  returned  to  visit 
his  alma  mater. 

The  Homecoming  parade  included  creative 
floats,  music,  political  campaigning,  and  dis- 
plays of  support  for  the  Bobcats  from  sur- 
rounding areas.  Many  groups  participated  in 
the  float  competition,  including  sororities  and 
fraternities,  political  candidates  anticipating 
the  upcoming  election,  and  even  Big  Bear 
supermarket.  1008  East  State  St.  Judges  rated 
the  floats  according  to  construction,  theme  and 
originality. 

The  Phi  Mu  sorority/Alpha  Epsilon  Pi  fra- 
ternity float  won  S500  for  its  first  place  cre- 
ation. The  Office  of  Alumni  Relations  donated 
the  prize  money.  Phi  Mu  sorority  planned  to 
use  the  money  on  a  chapter  retreat  in 
Parkersburg  in  January.  Alpha  Delta  Pi/Delta 
Tau  Delta,  and  Sigma  Kappa/Phi  Kappa  Tau 
received  second  and  third  place,  respectively. 
High  school  bands  and  majorette  squads  per- 
formed while  marching  through  uptown  Ath- 
ens, and  the  Alumni  band  and  Ohio  University's 
own  Marching  110  also  made  appearances. 


Several  political  candidates  rode  by  in  cars, 
anxiously  urging  the  students  to  vote  in  three 
weeks.  A  thick  atmosphere  of  excitement  and 
anticipation  preluded  the  football  game. 

Despite  the  hospitalization  of  Coach  Tom 
Lichtenberg.  the  team  came  ready  to  play.  The 
first  half  of  the  game  ended  with  a  score  of 
Miami  14- Ohio  7.  During  the  marching  band's 
halftime  show,  a  fight  erupted  between  a  few 


Miami  team  members  and  some  Ohio  alumni 
band  members,  because  the  band's  perfor- 
mance cut  into  Miami's  warm-up  session. 

Fortunately,  no  one  was  injured  and  Miami 
head  coach  Randy  Walker  offered  an  apology 
after  the  game.  The  final  score  resulted  in 
Miami  2.^-  Ohio  21.  and  even  though  Ohio 
lost.  25..'i51  people  in  Peden  Stadium  broke 
an  attendance  record.

Imagine  walking  down  Court  Street  and 
iuddenly  you  find  yourself  surrounded  by 
housands  of  unique  and  unusual  characters 
—  including  rock-and-roll  stars,  presidents, 
jeer  cans,  safe  sex  devices  and  cartoon  cliar- 
tcters.  Such  original  costumes,  along  with 


plenty  of  ghosts  and  goblins,  appeared  every 
Halloween  in  Athens. 

The  largest  group  of  people  ever  to  crowd 
Court  Street  appeared  at  the  Halloween  bash. 
The  Athens  Police  Department  estimated 
35.000  to  50.000  partiers  took  over  the  Up- 
town area  throughout  the  night. 

Even  though  police  records  showed  that  the 
crowd  increased  by  about  2(1.000  people  from 
last  year's  count,  police  made  only  ten  more 


arrests.  Between  8  p.m.  and  4  a.m..  the  APD 
arrested  101  people,  but  OU  students  ac- 
counted for  only  15. 

Joe  Burke,  director  of  Residence  Life,  said 
that  many  problems  involving  out-of-towners 
arose  on  Halloween  because  they  have  little 
or  no  regard  for  the  campus.  "It  is  a  tremen- 
dous amount  of  work  on  my  part  and  an 
inconvenience."  he  said.  Contrary  to  previous 
years,  students,  residents  and  businesses  re- 
ported limited  vandalism,  he  said. 

The  entertainment  for  the  night  began  at  the 
Court  Street  bandstand  and  featured  M.C. 
Johnathan  Halmberg.  Beginning  with  a  local 
band.  Ma  Rainey.  the  street  began  to  rock. 
Akoostic  Hooka  followed,  and  the  music  con- 
tinued into  the  morning  with  the  Voodoo 
Birds. 

The  trick-or-treaters  dressed  as  classic 
characters  such  as  the  band  Kiss.  Fred  and 
Wilma  Flintstone.  Bert  and  Ernie.  Zany  indi- 
\  iduals  also  appeared  as  Beetlejuice.  the  In- 
credible Hulk,  piecesof  the  videogame  Tetris, 
and  Cliff  Claven,  the  annoying  mailcarrier 
Irom  Cheers. 

Sophomore  Dave  Niemann  said.  "This  is 
the  third  year  1  have  been  here,  and  as  far  as  I 
can  remember,  it  is  the  best  yet."  Most  people 
tiressed  up.  acted  friendly,  and  had  a  great 
tmie.  because  everyone  became  whoever  he 
or  she  chose  to  be  for  one  niaht.  he  said.  1^-

One  of  the  musl  unlikely  combinalions. 
Parent's  Weekend  and  Halloween,  fell  on  the 
same  weekend.  "This  was  decided  about  three 
years  in  advance."  said  Joel  S.  Rudy.  Dean  of 
Students.  The  committee  that  appointed 
Parent's  Weekend  to  a  certain  date  altenipled 
to  schedule  Homecoming  Weekend  and 
parent's  weekend  on  weekends  home  football 
games  would  be  played  and  on  a  date  in  the 
middle  of  the  quarter. 

They  decided  to  schedule  the  e\  ent  for  the 
weekend  after  the  change  of  daylight  savings 
time  because  the  Halloween  celebration 
traditionally  been  scheduled  the  night  the  clocks 
turned  back.  They  did  not  realize  arrangements 
had  been  made  to  celebrate  Halloween  the 
weekend  after  it  usually  was  celebrated. 

The  20,000  extra  people  who  filled  Athens 
on  Halloween  edged  parents  out  of  limited 
hotel  space.  The  Ohio  University  Inn  booked 
all  their  rooms  one  year  in  advance  to 
accommodate  parents  on  Parent's  Weekend. 
The  Inn  declared  that  their  policies  concerning 
resenations  for  such  popular  weekends  will 
be  changed,  but  they  did  not  know  when. 

Some  Greek  houses  even  opted  to  change 
the  Parent's  Weekend  for  their  individual

houses  in  order  to  allow  more  parents  to  attend. 
Senior  Julie  Sliverson.  president  of  the  Phi  Mu 
sorority,  said  her  sorority  decided  to  change  its 
Parent's  Weekend  to  three  weeks  after  the 
official  date. 

"Almost  everyone's  parents  came  and  I 
don't  think  that  would  have  been  the  case  if  it 
had  been  on  Halloween."  Stiverson  said. 

Alpha  Delta  Pi  .sorority  also  postponed  the 
weekend  one  week.  Senior  Sarah  Holden  said. 


"It  was  better  because  I  don't  think  anyone's 
parents  wanted  to  come  on  Halloween 
weekend." 

Many  students  expressed  relief  that  their 
parents  skipped  the  weekend  altogether.  Tracy 
Chumley.  a  junior,  said,  "1  thought  it  was  more 
fun  without  my  parents  here  because  I  got  to  go 
out  and  celebrate  without  worrying  about  if 
they  would  be  bored  or  not."  ■#-

September  28  to  Oetober  2  marked  the 
fourth  annual  Sexual  Assault  Awareness  Week 
at  Ohio  University.  With  events  sponsored  by 
\  arious  groups,  the  programs  addressed  issues 
of  rape,  incest,  molestation  and  sexist  lan- 
suaae. 


Nona  Wilson,  assistant  director  of  Health 
Education  and  Wellness,  said  the  latest  FBI 
statistics  showed  one  out  of  e\ery  ten  women 
experience  rape  or  attempted  assault  —  and 
that  number  increased  to  one  out  of  every  four 
women  on  college  campuses.  "This  alone 
shows  there  is  a  need  for  a  sexual  assault 
awareness  week."  she  said. 

While  Wilson  said  attendance  lowered  in 


comparison  to  previous  years,  the  week  had 
se\  eral  successful  programs. 

Cheryl  Cesta-McMichael  taught  the  self- 
defense  workshop  for  women,  a  very  popular 
event  of  the  week.  Cesta  also  taught  a  quarter- 
long  self-defense  class,  which  the  university 
offered  for  credit.

An  enthusiastic  crowd  of  students  and 
faculty  dressed  in  while  T-shirts  cheered, 
laughed,  hugged  and  joked  on  the  West  Portico 
ol  Memorial  Auditorium  on  a  sunn\  tall  day. 
Others  w  alched  the  crow  d  from  a  distance,  yet 
listened  intently. 

This  rally,  a  public  display  of  gay  pride, 
aimed  to  decrease  this  distance  between  gays 
and  non-gays  who  supported  gay  rights.  The 
event  also  marked  the  end  of  Campus  Coming 
Out  Week,  held  Oct.  5-9. 

Organizers  of  the  week's  activities  hoped 
to  "create  an  awareness  that  there  is  a 
homosexual  community  in  .Athens  and  to  try  to 
get  people  to  come  to  these  programs  and  feel 
more  relaxed."  said  Suzanne  Webb,  the  Les- 
bian/Gay/Bisexual commissioner  of  Student 


Senate.  She  also  said  they  wanted  closeted 
students  to  feel  empowered  to  take  the  next 
step  of  coming  out. 

The  week's  sponsors,  including  Open 
Doors.  OU  'sgay.  lesbian,  and  bisexual  student 
union,  the  Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual  Commission 
and  The  Association  for  Lesbian.  Gay.  and 
Bisexual  Faculty  and  Staff  at  Ohio  University, 
held  several  events  to  educate  both  gay  and 
straight  students.  Programs  inci uded  the  h i story 
of  gay  words  and  a  panel  of  gay.  lesbian  and 
bisexual  students  who  answered  the  audience's 
questions  about  homosexuality. 

"The  feedback  was  great."  Webb  said. 
"Students  came  up  to  me  and  said.  "We're 
happy  you  had  this.  We  learned  something.'" 

Other  programs  included  coffee  houses, 
socials  and  roundtable  discussions.  But 
according  to  most  students,  the  most  excitina 


event  was  the  pride  rally. 

"1  think  the  most  empowering  activity  w 
the  rally.  A  lot  of  pride  was  shown."  We 
said. 

During  the  rally,  several  speakers  infomi 
the  crowd  on  issues  including  the  importan 
of  gay  rights  and  attempts  by  the  Residen 
Life  staff  to  make  gay  students  feel  mc 
comfortable.  Several  members  of  the  crov 
spoke,  encouraging  closeted  gays  to  come  oi 

"1  don't  care  if  you  don't  like  me  becau 
I'm  gay.  but  you're  going  to  know  I'm  gay 
one  student  exclaimed  to  the  crow  d'sapplauf 

According  to  Junior  Melissa  Bosch,  tl 
rally  was  an  end  to  an  enlightening  week. 

"Coming  Out  Week  is  very  empowering, 
gave  me  a  sense  of  identity.  It  gives  me 
reason  to  not  be  ashamed. "  she  said.<^-

L'nity.  sclf-dclcmiinism.  collective  uoik 
and  responsibility,  corporate  economics, 
purpose,  creativity  and  faith  composed  the 
seven  Kwan/aa  values.  Through  these  seven 
values,  Kwanzaa.  an  .African- American 
holiday,  celebrated  Atrican-.American  culture 
and  achievements.  Although  the  holiday 
ollicially  took  place  in  December.  OU 
recognized  the  holiday  through  a  ueek-long 
celebration  Nov.  1-7. 

The  Kwanzaa  Soul  Food  Dinner 
Extravagan/a.  sponsored  by  the  Office  of 
Minority  Student  Programs,  began  the  week- 
long  activities  in  the  Baker  Center  Ballroom. 
The  menu  included  traditional  .African  and 
African-American  foods.  "Gifts  of  Song."  an 
a  cappella  trio,  accompanied  the  dinner  \\  ith 
jazz,  gospel,  spiritual,  and  rhythm  and  blues 


music. 

Senior  Tracey  Carter.  President  of  the  Black 
Student  Cultural  Programming  Board,  said  the 
guests  nearly  filled  the  ballroom  to  its  capacity. 
The  large  number  of  non-black  students  that 
attended  the  dinner  impressed  Carter.  "For  us. 
that  uas  a  sign  that  they  were  willing  to  learn 
something  new  about  a  culture."  she  said. 

Other  highlights  during  the  week  included 
the  Family  Circle  discussion,  sponsored  b\  the 
College  of  Health  and  Human  Services,  and 
perfomiances  by  Earthforce,  a  reggae  band, 
and  Bill  Sims,  a  blues  artist.  The  University 
Program  Council  sponsored  the  blues 
musician's  show. 

Although  the  long  election  lines  Tuesday 
kept  some  students  from  viewing  the  blues 
performance  show  in  the  Baker  Center 
Ballroom,  the  crowd  size  pleased  .Audrey 
Cantnor,  UPC  Cultural  Arts  Chair.  She  thouaht 


the  professors  enjoyed  seeing  the  students 
\  iew  the  performance.  "A  lot  of  them  feel  the 
Jazz-type  of  music  is  not  really  listened  tc 
anymore."  said  the  senior. 

The  major  event  of  the  week,  the  Kwanzaa 
festival,  took  place  Saturday  in  BakerCentei 
Ballroom.  The  festival  hosted  events  and 
vendors  that  sparked  the  cultural  aw  areness  ot 
the  week.  The  music  and  storytelling  of  an 
African-American  drum  troupe,  led  by  Jabal 
Harris.  per\  aded  the  ballroom.  Gospel  singers 
and  magicians  performed  for  the  guests.i 
Vendors  from  .Athens  and  other  cities  aroundi 
the  nation  sold  African  Jewelry .  books,  clothing, 
art  and  food. 

Curtis  Jones,  assistant  director  of  Minority 
Student  Programs,  coordinated  the  all-day 
festival.  He  said  that  based  on  the  many 
comments  he  received  about  the  event,  "most 
people  really  enjoyed  the  festivities."  -^

Invasion  of  the  sibs  hit  Feb.  5-7  as  the 
ffects  of  Sibs  weetcend  pervaded  campus. 
Ipeciai  casinos,  fashion  shows.  Uptown  bars 
nd  sporting  events  became  swamped  with 
ounger  college  wanna-bes. 

Even  though  organizations  offered  special 
vents  like  West  Green's  casino  "West  Vegas." 
ponsored  by  West  Green  Council,  most  sibs 


came  to  check  out  the  everyday  college  scene. 
Senior  Tracy  Rivers'  little  sibling,  Stephanie, 
enjoyed  bowling  in  Baker  Center  the  best.  "It 
was  my  first  time  bowling  and  I  scored  a  1 10!" 
she  said. 

The  basketball  game  against  Kent  State 
University  became  a  fast  favorite  for  Junior 
Megan  Tomlinson's  little  sib.  Amy.  "I  liked  it 
because  it  was  a  big  stadium  and  the  game  was 
fun."  Amy  said. 


Crowds  flocked  to  Bird  Arena,  w  here  many 
ice  skated  after  the  hockey  game  against 
Wisconsin-Stout.  Senior  Cindi  Amdt,  there 
with  her  brother,  said,  "Besides  the  fact  that  it 
was  crowded,  he  and  I  were  able  to  ha\'e  fun 
both  independently  and  together,  since  we 
were  both  skating." 

Sib  Rachel  King  attended  several  events, 
including  a  fashion  show  put  on  by  Mercedes 
Modeling  Troup.  "It  was  really  nice  and  very 
well  put  together.  You  could  tell  they  worked 
hard  on  it."  she  said.  Rachel  spent  the  weekend 
with  her  sister.  Bridget  King. 

But  for  many  siblings,  just  spending  time 
with  their  brothers  and  sisters  made  the 
weekend  fun.  Amy  Tomlinson  said  she  liked 
hangmg  out  and  playing  games  with  her  sister. 
"It  was  more  fun  with  Megan  and  her  friends 
than  it  is  with  my  friends  at  home."  she  said. 

Students  took  advantage  of  sibs  weekend  to 
hold  their  own  events.  Sophomore  Angi  Wil- 
liams threw  a  birthday  party  for  her  sister, 
Lisa.  "I  always  miss  things  like  that  when  I'm 
here,  so  since  [Lisa]  was  here  on  her  birthday, 
it  was  a  time  I  didn't  miss."  -(^

Although  many  African-American 
organizations  functioned  throughout  the 
school  year,  they  designated  February  as  a 
month  to  educate  students  about  black  history. 
Melissa  Exuni.  director  of  Minority  Student 
Programing,  summarized  the  month  as  an 
opportunity  to  "teach,  raise  and  promote 
African  American  culture." 

Vattel  Rose,  director  of  African- American 
Studies,  said  no  single  group  organized  Black 
History  Month,  but  different  groups  sponsored 
several  programs. 

The  Center  for  African-American  Studies 
sponsored  a  speaker  from  Princeton 
University  that  drew  between  75  and  100 
people.  Other  groups,  such  as  the  Black 
Student  Cultural   Proarammina   Board. 


sponsored  programs  all  year,  but  scheduled 
few  programs  during  February. 

The  celebration  of  black  history  started 
early  with  the  observance  of  Martin  Luther 
King.  Jr.'s  birthday  Jan.  18.  Bruce  Ergood. 
associate  professorof  Sociology  and  a  member 
of  the  Martin  Luther  King.  Jr.  Committee,  said 
the  purpose  of  the  committee  was  "to  keep 
alive  the  memory  of  Dr.  King."  The  committee 
formed  about  15  years  ago  and  consisted  of 
several  faculty,  administrators  and  students 
who  mel  to  plan  events,  especially  during 
Martin  Luther  King  week  and  on  his  birthday. 

In  the  past,  the  committee  sponsored  photo 
and  essay  contests,  but  in  the  last  three  years, 
it  began  supporting  more  programs,  such  as 
dance  companies  and  guest  speakers. 

A  variety  of  organizations,  even  those  not 
associated  with  African  Americans,  spaced 
events  throuahout  the  month.  Career  Services 


sponsored  a  minority  career  fair  and  University 
Program  Council  showed  films  such  as  "Cry 
Freedom"  and  "The  Long  Walk  Home."  w  hich 
dealt  with  equality  issues. 

About  200  students  attended  a  vigil  on 
Martin  Luther  King.  Jr.  Day.  Participants 
marched  to  Galbreath  Chapel,  where  they 
attended  a  service  in  which  the  Gospel  Voices 
of  Faith  sang  and  black  authors  read  literature. 

Although  most  events  featured  programs' 
and  speakers,  some  organizations  chose . 
alternative  outlets  to  educate  others.  Delta 
SigmaThela  Sorority.  Inc.  and  Phi  Beta  Sigma 
Fraternity.  Inc.  continued  a  tradition  of 
distributing  booklets  to  expose  stereotypes 
and  educate  the  community  on  black  history. 
The  booklets  highlighted  black  enlenainers 
and  athletes  and  contained  quotes  from  famous 
African  Americans,  -iff-

About  2.500  people  walked  silently  ardiind 
he  perimeter  of  patched-toaether  three-by-si  X 
oot  quilt  panels  displayed  on  the  floor  and 
vails  of  the  Convocation  Center  as  voices  of 
speakers  reading  the  names  of  people  who  had 
lied  from  AIDS  reverberated  softly  in  the 
lackground.  .Some  cried,  some  hugged  and 
iome  just  looked  at  the  panels,  which  were  part 
)f  the  NAMES  Project  Memorial  AIDS  Quilt, 
lisplayed  May  20  and  21  as  a  part  of  AIDS 
\wareness  Week,  which  took  place  May  16- 
12.  The  educational  week,  usually  held  the 
"irst  week  of  May,  was  i-escheduled  so  that  the 
|uill  showing  would  coincide  with  other 
planned  activities. 

The  full  quilt,  which  started  in  San  Francisco 
n  1987.  contained  more  than  20.S()0  panels, 
-■ach  memorializing  someone  who  died  of 
\IDS.  Several  students,  including  Freshman 
<risten  Albrecht.  volunteered  to  read  names 
ind  keep  visitors  from  walking  on  the  quilt  at 
he  event.  Albrecht  said  the  volunteers  also 


provided  emotional  support  for  those  viewing 
the  quilt,  as  it  had  a  much  larger  impact  on 
most  people  than  they  thought  it  would. 

However,  not  everyone  was  emotional. 
Albrecht  said  people  reacted  in  many  different 
ways.  Some  smiled  as  they  looked  at  the  580 
quill  pieces  and  some  stared  at  Just  one  piece, 
while  others  "stuck  together."  offering 
emotional  support  to  one  another.  "It  w  as  very 
touching."  Albrecht  said.  "(The  emotion )  made 
e\erything  more  real." 

The  volunteers  helped  unroll  the  quilt  pieces 
in  a  ceremony  on  Thursday  morning.  During 
the  closing  ceremony  Friday  evening,  those 
still  viewing  the  quilt  were  asked  to  walk  to  the 
outside  edges  of  the  quilt  and  hold  hands. 
Volunteers  then  brought  out  new  patches  of 
quilt  to  be  dedicated  and  added  to  the  other 
pieces.  Visitors  who  knew  people  who  had 
died  of  AIDS  then  recited  the  deceased's  name 
as  volunteers  folded  the  quilt. 

But  the  week  included  many  more  activities 
and  programs  than  the  AIDS  quilt.  A  "Women 
And  AIDS"  program,  sponsored  by  the 


University  AIDS  Coalition  and  the  Women's 
Affairs  Commission  of  Student  Senate,  took 
place  Tuesday  night.  The  program  tied  together 
AIDS  awareness  and  Take  Back  The  Night, 
which  occurred  the  same  week.  Matt 
Butchbach.  member  of  UAC.  said  the  program 
dealt  with  the  growing  impact  of  AIDS  on 
women. 

"There  was  lots  of  participation  and  we  got 
a  lot  of  information  across  to  the  people  who 
came."  he  said.  Women  are  one  of  the  most 
rapidly  growing  groups  contracting  AIDS, 
Butchbach  said.  "It's  obviously  not  just  a  gay 
man's  disease — that's  what  a  lot  of  people 
think."  he  said.  While  women  could  contract 
the  disease  easier  from  men.  it  worked  both 
ways.  The  HIV  virus,  believed  to  cause  AIDS. 
could  be  contracted  through  contact  with  blood, 
semen  or  vaginal  fluid. 

Radio  talk  show  sand  other  discussions  also 
filled  the  week.  Butchbach  said.  In  addition, 
university  offices  and  residence  halls  displayed 
blue  lights  in  their  w indows  supporting  .AIDS 
education  and  aw  areness.  ■<►-

sponsored  the  week  of  programs  aimed  at 
empowering  women  and  educating  the  public. 
"The  week  was  irieant  to  tell  the  whole 
community  that  women,  as  well  as  men,  should 
be  able  to  walk  at  niaht  without  the  fear  of 


sexual  or  any  other  kind  of  assault,"  said 
Senior  Kat  Moore,  former  WAC  commis- 
sioner and  one  of  the  week's  organizers.  "I 
think  the  best  attendance  ever  at  all  Ihe  pro- 
grams proved  that  more  people  are  interested 
and  willing  to  speak  out  for  their  rights  and 
about  their  experiences." 

More  than  5i)  people  attended  the  Survivor 
Speak  Out.  held  at  noon  Thursday  at  the  West 
Portico  of  Memorial  Auditorium.  Fifteen 
people  spoke  to  the  crowd  about  their  own 
survival  or  the  survival  of  a  loved  one  after 
sexual  assault. 

One  unidentified  woman  shared  that  she 
and  her  two  younger  sisters — "all  strong, 
independent  feminists" — were  all  survivors. 
One  woman,  identified  as  Poetry,  shared  that 
she  became  pregnant  and  had  an  abortion  after 
being  raped  bv  her  math  tutor  when  she  was 
16.  ' 

Junior  Matt  Butehbach.coordinatorof  Men 
Against  Rape  Culture,  dispelled  the  myth  that 
only  women  can  be  raped  when  he  spoke  of 
being  raped  by  his  roommate  during  his 
freshman  year.  "[Men  and  women's] 
experiences  are  exactly  the  same."  said 
Butchbach. 

A  record  number,  approximately  1,000 
women,  attended  the  week's  climactic  Take 
Back  the  Night  march.  Twyla  Jones-Konte. 
resident  director  of  Sargent  Hall,  was  pleased 
with  the  attendance.  "It's  good  to  see  the  last 
episode  of  Cheers  didn't  win  out  tonight."  she 
said. 

Before  marching,  the  crowd  was  given 
perspective  when  it  was  reminded  of  the  brutal 
rapes  in  Bosnia,  as  well  as  the  many  changes  in 
women's  rights  since  the  first  Take  Back  the 
Night  March  in  1979. 

The  Athens  Women's  Chorus  and  others 
empowered  the  group  before  it  embarked  on 
their  loud,  candle-lit  march  through  the  three 
greens  and  the  Uptown  area.  Men  Against 
Rape  Culture  held  a  Men's  Vigil  at  the  Class 
Gate  in  support  of  women  marching. 

Chants  of.  "Free  and  safe  I"  filled  the  empty, 
dark  streets  of  Athens.  Six  students  were 
arrested  for  blocking  Court  Street  traffic  in 
protest  of  not  being  able  to  inarch  in  the  street. 
The  protest  w  as  notplanned  and  not  sanctioned 
by  Take  Back  the  Night  organi/ers. 

Many  spectators  w  atched  the  march  as  w  ell 
as  the  protest — some  in  support,  some  silent, 
some  vocal  and  angry.  But  anyone  within 
earshot  was  reminded  that  women  were  trying 
to  take  back  the  freedom  to  w  alk  safely  through 
the  streets  of  Athens  or  any  city.  They  were 
indeed  taking  back  the  night,  i^-

The  second  \ear  of  a  combined  effort  to 
replace  what  was  traditionally  the  East.  West 
and  South  Green  Weekends  went  as  well  as 
expected — except  this  year  the  weather  was 
nice.  The  Tri-Green  "Spnng  Schwing."  held 
May  22-23  on  East  Green,  w  as  sponsored  by 
the  newly  established  Tri-Green  Council  and 
Doctor  Pizza.  16  W.  Stinison. 

Bands  and  booths  entertained 
approximately  500  students  and  the  open,  sunny 
green  ga\  e  them  a  comfortable  place  to  sit  or 
dance  to  the  music.  The  sunny  u  eather  during 
the  day  pleased  the  organizers;  the  comfortable 
climate  also  pro\  ed  itself  more  friendly  to  the 


e\  ening  crowds,  who  in  past  years  were  dn\  en 
away  by  rain. 

"Everything  went  smoothly."  said  Tri- 
Green  Council  Chairperson  Kevin  Mohr.  a 
sophomore,  ".■\ttendance  wasn't  as  large  as  we 
would  have  liked,  but  everyone  here  had  a 
great  time.  The  w  eather «  as  perfect,  the  bands 
were  great  and  we  didn't  have  any  problems." 

The  weekend  highlighted  local  and  stale-

and  the  headlining  band.  18th  Emergency.

lined  up  along  East  Green  Drive. 

Sophomore  Anita  Flores  said  she  did  not 
plan  to  attend  the  weekend,  but  she  heard  the 
funky  sounds  of  the  Cleveland-based  group 
The  Yielding  from  her  room  in  Bryan  Hall 
around  S  p.m.  and  had  to  check  it  out.  "The 
bass  was  loud  and  I  heard  one  of  my  favorite 
songs."  said  Flores.  "The  lead  singer  [Aaron 
"Uncle  Sugar"  Jones]  was  running  around  and 
getting  the  crowd  into  it.  It  was  a  lot  of  fun." 

Tri-Green  Council  Co-adviser  Jim  Sand 
seemed  pleased  w  ith  the  weekend.  "It"  s  alw  ays 
true  and  it's  true  again  that  the  people  who 
came  had  a  great  time."  said  Sand  as  he  w  atched 
Jones  leap  from  the  stage  in  front  of  Johnson

The  sun  shone,  and  moms  came  from  all 
over  the  country  to  enjoy  it.  They  took  over 
campus  for  Mom's  Weekend.  April  3 1  to  May 
2.  Well-known  comedian  Carol  Leifer 
performed  in  Memorial  Auditorium, 
entertaining  a  packed  audience  of  1 ,500  people 


with  her  singing  renditions  of  the  oldies,  stories 
about  the  idiosyncracies  of  her  own  mom,  and 
wisdom  on  the  quirks  of  college  life  and  dating. 
Leifer  appeared  on  "The  Tonight  Show."  and 
"Late  Night  with  David  Letterman,"  Showtime, 
VH-1,  and  the  Arts  &  Entertainment  channel. 
"She  was  great!"  said  Chris  O'Dell.  a  mom 
who  visited  her  daughter.  Jennifer  O'  Dell,  a 


freshman.  "She  had  a  good  singing  voice,  and 
her  men  jokes  were  so  true!"  For 
example, "What  is  so  great  about  Playgirl 
magazine?"  questioned  Leifer.  "It's  not 
difficult  to  see  a  naked  man;  all  you  have  to  do 
is  ask."  The  University  Program  Council 
sponsored  the  popular  performance.

Other  moms  found  it  hard  to  keep  up  with 
leir  children.  Janie  Hughes,  visiting  her 
lughter  Betsy,  a  freshman,  said.  "I  had  a  great 


time.  It  was  neat  to  see  where  Betsy  goes,  but 
I'm  so  tired!  How  does  she  stay  out  this  late'?" 
More  adventurous  students  took  their  moms  to 
the  all-male  revue  sponsored  by  The  Greenery. 
"Hands  Around  the  Convo."  a  charily  event 
similar  to  Hands  Across  America,  also 
highlighted  the  weekend.  Hands  Around  the 
Convo  aimed  to  raise  money,  canned  food,  and 


clothing  for  the  Athens  needy.  Howe\er.  the 
event  brought  fewer  people  than  organizers 
thought  it  would,  and  no  matter  how  hard  they 
stretched,  the  30  participants  could  not  circle 
the  entire  Convo.  Those  in  attendance  sang

Graduation  Is  Highlight 


by  Rebecca  Rhoads 

With  joy.  anxiety  and  much  anticipation, 
the  graduating  class  made  its  final  appearance 
before  a  near-capacity  crowd  at  the  Convoca- 
tion Center  on  June  12.  The  undergraduate 
commencement  ceremony  set  approximately 
7,000  graduates  out  into  the  work  force  and  the 
world  of  graduate  schools. 

President  Charles  Ping,  Senior  Class  Coun- 
cil President  Rick  Frohlich  and  others  spoke 


words  of  welcome,  congratulations  and  moti- 
vation. But  parents,  faculty  and  graduates  were 
all  amused  and  inspired  by  the  words  of 
Clarence  Page.  ChicagoTribune  Pulitzer  Prize- 
winning  columnist  and  1969  E.W.  Scripps 
School  of  Journalism  graduate. 

Thoughtful  and  encouraging  stories  and 
jokes,  commentary  about  Winnie  the  Pooh, 
the  60s  and  political  figures  ranging  from 
President  Clinton  to  Rush  Limbaugh  distin- 
guished Page's  speech  as  the  highlight  of  the 


ceremony. 

Topping  off  the  celebration  was  the  endless 
string  of  graduates,  each  with  a  few  moments 
of  stage  time.  To  parents  and  graduates  alike, 
it  was  the  culmination  of  four  or  more  years  of 
toil.  Each  name  was  read  and  each  graduate 
puffed  w  ith  pride  as  he  or  she  shook  hands 
with  the  dean  and  smiled  for  the  cameras. 

Outside,  despite  the  warm  temperatures  ■ 
and  cloudy  day,  it  was  a  proud  moment  for  i 
everyone

Budget 
Cuts 


by  Chris  Gigley 

Ohiocolleges  lost  $272  million 
in  base  support  in  the  last  three 
years  through  budget  cuts.  The 
effects  of  the  cuts  have  rained 
upon  students  and 
university  staff; 
for  the  first  time  in 
the  history  of  the 
state,  students 
were  forced  to  pay 
for  more  than  half 
of  the  cost  of  a 
college 
education — 5  1 
percent. 

And  the  future 
does  not  look  too 
bright  for  students, 
either.  Inflation- 
adjusted  state 
support  per  full- 
time  college 
student  has 

dropped  22 

percent  since  1988.  Erik 
Burmeister.  University  Financial 
Affairs  commissioner  of  Student 
Senate,  said  this  essentially  meant 
a  loss  of  programs  and  smaller 
classes. 

"The  budget  cuts  effect  us 
indirectly  by  not  allowing  us  to 
increase  the  number  of  classes 
offered,  not  being  able  to  hire  more 
faculty  members,  not  being  able 
to  provide  for  student  activity 
funding  and  not  allowing  us  to 
meet  the  increasing  needs  of  the 
rise  of  the  cost  of  education,"  he 
said. 

But  the  stormy  effects  of  the 
budget  cuts  were  not  limited  to  the 


students.  Between  January  1991 
and  January  1992.  the  university 
eliminated  62  staff  positions. 

"I  think  Ohio  University 
students  are  in  much  better 
circumstances  than  a  lot  of  Ohio 


"/  think  Ohio  University 
students  are  in  much  better 
circumstances  than  a  lot  of  Ohio 
schools.  The  problem  is  because 
the  university  is  run  so 
efficiently,  there  is  not  a  whole 
lot  of  fat  to  cut."

schools."  Burmeister  said.  "The 
problem  is  because  the  university 
is  run  so  efficiently,  there  is  not  a 
whole  lot  of  fat  to  cut." 
Unfortunately,  the  "fat"  included 
professors  and  other  staff  members 
who  helped  make  students'  lives  a 
little  easier. 

Alan  Geiger,  assistant  to 
President  Charles  Ping,  said  the 
university  saw  the  dark  clouds  of 
the  cuts  coming  in  advance  and 
thus  protected  itself  from  extensive 
damage.  "We  tried  carefully  to 
maintain  ser\'ices  to  students,"  he 
said.  "The  thing  that  saved  us  is 
that  the  cuts  quit." 

Geiger  said  the  university 
"asked  people  to  do  more  with 


less  dollars,"  which  has  aisc 
contributed  to  its  perser%  erence 
People  "spread  their  duties"  ovei 
the  programs  that  were  affected 
he  said. 

In  addition.  Geiger  saic 
university 
officials  wanted  tc 
do  what  they 
could  to  protect 
students  from  the 
budget  cut- 

precipitating  froir 
the  state 

government.  "W'c 
realized  student- 
came  here  for  the 
programs  we  had 
and  we  tried  oui 
best  to  maintair 
them."  he  said. 

As  for  how 
effective  iht 
efforts  of  tht 
university  were 
Geiger  said  onh 
the  students  could  say. 

Mike  Hezlep,  a  fifth-yeai 
electrical  engineering  major,  saic 
the  sizes  of  his  classes  were  small 
mostly  because  there  were  no 
many  students  in  his  major.  But  hi 
said  the  professor  of  his  Tier  II 
was  forced  to  turn  down  mort 
than  one  student. 

Senior  Greg  Landis,  howe\  er 
said  most  of  his  classes  wen 
noticeably  larger.  "I've  been  tok 
that  as  you  get  older,  your  classe; 
get  smaller,  but  they've  beei 
double  what  I  thought  they'd  be.' 
said  the  business  managemen 
major.  "But  overall  theeffects  hav< 
been  pretty  mild."

Bill  Clinlon's  victory  as  our 
nation's  42nd  President  not  only 
made  him  the  first  Democrat  to 
win  the  White  House  since  Jimmy 
Carter  in  1976;  it  also  marked  the 
first  time  large  numbers  of  stu- 
dents marched  along  Court  Street 
since  the  Persian  Gulf  War  in 
1991. 

The  landslide  by  the  former 
Arkansas  governor  swept  George 
Bush  from  his  four-year  term, 
ending  1 2  years  of  divided  gov- 
ernment in  Washington. 

Senior  Jim  Smith,  ajournalism 
major  from  Kettering,  Ohio, 
participated  in  the  spontaneous 
celebration  Uptown  when  Clinton 
won. 

"We  waited  to  hear  the  presi- 
dent-elect's acceptance  speech, 
then  left  the  Uptown  apartment 
we  were  in  and  ran  down  Court 
Streetyelling. 'Bill!  Bill!  Bill!,"' 
he  said.

about  a  dozen  people.  Smith  and

With  only  four  days  re- 
maining to  clinch  the  Ohio  vote, 
Hillary  Rodham  Clinton  spoke 
to  more  than  5.000  people  at 
the  "Get  Out  the  Vote  Rally"  in 
front  of  Baker  Center. 

"Ohio  is  a  battleground.  We 
are  working  very  hard  to  win 
Ohio,"  Clinton  said  in  a  post- 
rally  interview. 

Because  of  the  link  with  OU 
graduate  David  Wilhelm.  Bill 
Clinton's  campaign  manager, 
the  Clinton-Gore  campaign 
stopped  in  Athens,  she  said. 

Clinton  addressed  the 
crowd,  who  waved  Clinton- 
Gore  and  pro-choice  signs,  on 
the  state  of  the  economy,  jobs 
and  the  promise  of  the  Ameri- 


his  friends  ended  up  at  the  War 
Monument  shouting  phrases  such 
as,  "Read  my  lips — I  just  lost!" 
Another  1 5  people  showed  up  to 
participate  in  the  impromptu  party. 

"Someone  had  a  big  cardboard 
cut-out  of  Bush,  and  we  tried  in 
vain  to  get  it  to  light  until  finally 
we  got  a  flame  going  in  the  center," 
Smith  said. 

"Basically,  we  burnt  a  hole  right 
through  his  heart,"  he  added.  "It 
was  the  Burning  Bush." 

The  revelry  resulted  from  an 
election  in  which  at  least  100 
million  Americans  voted,  revers- 
ing the  32-year  decline  in  voter 
turnout.  In  Athens  County,  75 
percent  of  the  eligible  voters  cast 
their  ballots,  eclipsing  the  50-plus 
percent  voting  in  1988. 

To  secure  his  win,  Clinton 
captured  the  key  states  of  Illinois, 
Ohio  and  New  Jersey  and  also 
took  the  traditional  Republican 
strongholds  of  Vermont  and 
Kentucky. 

The    46-year-old    former 
Rhodes   Scholar  became   the 

can  dream,  which  she  said  had 
faded  during  the  past  12  years 
with  trickle-down  economics. 

"We  are  in  danger  of  being  the 
first  generation  of  young  Ameii- 
cans  who  are  not  likely  to  do  as 
well  as  their  parents  and  grand- 
parents," Clinton  said. 

The  majority  of  the  crowd 
supported  Clinton-Gore,  but  about 
100  Bush-Quay le  supporters  pro- 
tested with  cheers  of  "four  inore 
years."  Clinton  supporters  re- 
sponded by  chanting  "four  more 
days." 

Clinton  mentioned  her 
husband's  goals  to  revamp  edu- 
cation. The  Clinton  administration 
wanted  to  fully  fund  Head  Start,  a 
program  for  disadvantaged  chil- 
dren.

The  election  also  took  on  a 
special  significance  for  Athens 
County  residents  David  Wilhelm. 
an  OU  graduate,  and  Atul 
Gawande.an  Athens  native.  Both 
helped  advise  Clinton  during  the 
caiTipaign  and  transition  team. 

Wilhelm  held  the  position  of 
campaign  manager  during 
Clinton's  nearly  year-long  bid  for 
the  presidency.  Clinton  later 
named  him  transition  director  for 
political  affairs. 

Clinton  appointed  Gawande  as 
health  and  social  policy  adviser 
during  the  cainpaign  before  he 
named  him  health  adviser  for  the 
transition  team. 

While  with  a  patient,

Gawande  first  heard  the  news  of 
his  son's  appointment  to  the

day  in  Athens.  Ohio,  you  pick  up

America.  We  will  not  have  just

rebuilding  and  changing 
America  for  the  better."  ^*-

If  Arnold"  s  of  Happy  Days  ex- 
isted at  OU,  it  would  be  in  the 
form  of  the  Front  Room. 

Well,  maybe  not  quite. 

Take  away  the  saddle  shoes 
and  the  Buddy  Holly  and  replace 
it  with  Birkenstocks  and  the  Cure. 
Slip  a  smoke  in  your  mouth,  a  cup 
of  coffee  in  your  hand  and  viola. 
You're  in  the  Front  Room. 

But  if  the  people  in  Arnold's 
and  the  Front  Room  were  not  the 
same,  the  concept  of  the  retreats 
certainly  were. 

It  gave  students  a  place  to  hang 
out  when  they  did  not  want  to 
walk  to  the  not-so-near  South 
Green.  And  it  was  a  place  to  kick 
off  their  worries  and  develop  a 
more  mellow  altitude. 

"(The  Front  Room)  gives  stu- 
dents a  place  to  unwind.  It's  not  so 
formal  as  the  library,  but  it's  not 
like  a  bar,"  said  Sophomore  Mark 
Richardson. 

The  irony  of  Richardson's 
statement  is  that  the  Front  Room 
used  to  be  a  bar  in  the  days  when 
it  was  legal  to  drink  at  18. 

However,  once  OU  took  on  a 
"dry  campus"  policy  in  1989,  the 
Front  Room  stopped  serving  alco- 
hol and  switched  to  another  col  lege 
classic:  coffee. 

RIGHT:  Suzanne  Stacey  and  David 
Yoree  take  in  the  relaxed  atmo- 
sphere of  the  Baker  Center  hangout 
and  challenge  each  other's  intel- 
lect. 


"It  is  really  unique.  There  is  no 
other  place  to  go  sit  and  drink 
coffee  on  campus,"  said  graduate 
student  Catherine  Sullivan. 

But  it  not  only  provided  a  place 
to  sip  on  coffee.  It  gave  students  a 
place  to  study  in  a  cozy  environ- 
ment, unlike  the  library's  sterile 
atmosphere. 

"It  is  an  ideal  place  to  study," 
said  graduate  student  Puneet,  "I 
can  smoke,  have  coffee,  and  study 
at  the  same  time." 

Puneet  added  that  the  environ- 
ment of  the  Front  Room  made 
studying  more  relaxed  and  non- 
stressful.  The  red  walls  and 
wooden  tables,  along  with  the 
homey  scent  of  coffee  and  stale 
cigarette  smoke  lent  the  campus 
hangout  a  warm  quality. 

"It  is  really  casual  and  the 
people  are  diverse.  In  a  way  it's 
run  down,  but  in  a  way,  it's  not  at 
all.  It's  a  very  comfortable 
atmosphere, "said  Sophomore 
Shereen  Solaiman. 

Students  could  not  find  a  mix 
like  that  of  people  in  the  Front 
Room  many  other  places  on  cam- 
pus, said  Tracy  Mygrant,  assistant 
to  the  manager  of  the  Front  Room. 

Everyone  from  greeks  to  gays 
to  hippies  lounged  there  between 
classes  and  in  the  evenings.  "You 
see  Greeks  talking  to  people 


wearing  Birkenstocks.  It's  where 
differences  are  set  aside  and  you 
look  at  people  as  people,"  Mygrant 
said. 

But  the  Front  Room  not  onl\ 
provided  a  place  for  .students  to 
hang  out.  A  University  Program 
Council  "movie  and  popcorn 
night"  series  gave  students  the 
opportunity  to  see  a  free  movie 
every  week.  Special  activities  such 
as  experimental  music  night  and 
poetry  readings  also  kept  students 
entertained. 

The  Front  Room  stage,  often 
used  as  a  sprawling  study  place  b\ 
day,  also  housed  the  Open  Stage 
series  on  Friday  nights.  During 
these  times,  bands  made  up  of 
both  students  and  local  residents 
could  perform  in  the  colorful 
spotlights. 

In  the  spirit  of  poor  college 
students,  the  sponsors  of  various 
Front  Room  activities  made  them 
free  of  cost. 

"I'ts  a  place  to  get  together  so- 
cially where  you  don't  feel  the 
need  to  spend  money  at  the  same 
tiine,"  graduate  student  Brian 
Perrin  said. 

Arnold's  high-speed  happiness 
just  would  never  compete  with  the 
mellow  details  and  the  plethora  of 
people  in  the  Front  Room.  ^^

AIDS  awareness 

Sept.  25 

Some  ofyou  reading  this  letter 
will  see  it's  about  AIDS  and  move 
on.  Well,  if  you  think  AIDS  has 
nothing  to  do  with  you — you're 
wrong! 

Did  you  know  that  college  stu- 
dents are  one  of  the  fastest  grow- 
ing HIV-infected  groups?  (HIV  is 
the  virus  that  causes  AIDS.) 
There's  no  way  to  know  for  sure, 
but  if  OU  fits  national  estimates 
there  could  be  35  to  40  HIV-in- 
fected people  on  campus  right 
now. 

An  infected  person  doesn't  nec- 
essarily look,  act  or  feel  any  dif- 
ferently that  a  healthy  person.  They 
might  not  even  know  they're  in- 
fected. And  if  they  do,  they  might 
not  be  honest  about  it  with  you. 

The  only  way  to  be  sure  you 
don't  get  infected  is  to  avoid  high- 
risk  behaviors.  Know  what  safer 
sex  is — it's  more  than  just  using  a 
condom — and  practice  it  every 
time.  If  you  use  IV  drugs,  includ- 
ing steroids,  don't  share  your 
works. 

Every  HIV-infected  person  I've 
talked  to  says.  "I  never  thought 
this  could  happen  to  me."  Make 
sure  it  doesn't  happen  to  you.  The 
Athens  AIDS  Task  Force  has  free 
information  and  materials,  includ- 
ing condoms,  to  help  keep  you 
healthy.  Ifyou're  already  infected, 
we  have  many  support  services 
that  can  help  you,  too.  All  our 
services  are  confidential.  Call  592- 
4397  to  talk.

Political  clean  up 

Nov.  2 

Right  after  the  speech  by 
Hillary  Clinton  I  say  an  event  that 
I  found  to  be  extremely  symbolic. 


70  •  ISSUES 


One  of  the  Bush/Quayle  sup- 
porters who  so  proudly  displayed 
his  homemade-picket-style  sign 
during  Mrs.  Clinton's  speech,  de- 
cided to  throw  it  into  the  land- 
scaping at  the  base  of  the  war 
monument  on  College  Green.  I 
thought  to  myself,  isn't  this  what 
Bush  did  to  our  America?  1  figured 
that  the  Bush/Quayle  supporter 
was  sacrificing  the  aesthetic 
beauty  of  College  Green  because 
he  figured  that  someone  was  go- 
ing to  clean  it  up  sometime.  Whv 
should  he  put  it  in  the  garbage  can 
that  was  five  feet  away,  when  it 
could  create  a  job  for  someone 
else! 

I  was  contemplating  if  1  should 
confront  this  guy.  when  two  men 
holding  Clinton/Gore  flats  walked 
up  to  the  dumped  sign.  One  said  to 
the  other,  "Maybe  we  should  burn 
it."  They  both  laughed,  then  one 
of  them  put  the  sign  in  the  garbage 
can.  I  thought,  isn't  this  what  the 
Clinton/Gore  ticket  is 
promising. ..to  clean  up  after 
Bush!? 

The  student  w  ho  threw  the  sign 
in  the  shrubbery  had  a  complete 
lack  of  respect  and  pride  for  the 
OU  campus,  bush  has  a  complete 
lack  of  respect  forourenvironment 
and  the  non-human  ( and  some  say 
human)  species  which  exists 
within  it.  We  cannot  live  with 
another  four  more  years  of  this 
king  of  attitude!  Do  something 
about  it!

Biased  Media 

Nov.  12 

I  agree  that  this  year's  presi- 
dential election  was  biased  by  the 
liberal  media.  What's  sadder 
though,  is  that  some  people  let  it 
get  the  best  of  them.  I  hate  to  see 
my  fellow  students  fall  prey  to 
such  manipulation.  I  expect  more 
from  my  educated  peers. 


Clinton  supporters  that  1  have 
questioned  often  cannot  defend 
their  positions  on  a  deeper  level. 
It's  apparent  that  they  want  the 
changes  they're  promised,  but  they 
haven't  considered  the  conse- 
quences of  those  changes.  Things 
like  more  middle-class  taxation 
(just  great  for  the  global  reces- 
sion!), and  substantially  lower- 
quality  health  care.  They've 
elected  a  president  whose  state 
ranks  next  to  lowest  in  all  aspects 
of  education  and  educational 
spending,  civil  rights,  economy 
and  (get  this,  crunchies)  environ- 
mental issues.  That's  what  hap- 
pens when  you  let  the  press  do 
yourthinkingforyou.  The  liberal, 
antagonistic,  holier-than-thou 
press  and  their  Birkenstock- 
wearing  fad-following  "noncon- 
formists" really  went  overtime  on 
this  one.  News  stories  always 
covered  Clinton's  campaign  first 
and  more  often.  Our  incipient  re- 
co\  ery  from  the  recession  was  only 
given  the  attention  it  deserved  the 
day  after  the  election.  The  bias  is 
obvious.  How  man\  of  us  actually 
sought  factual  information  from 
both  sides  of  the  ticket  in  order  to 
make  an  informed  decision? 

The  right  to  sole  and  the  power 
it  confers  is  too  important  to  throw 
away  on  what  the  newspapers  or 
MTV  tells  you  to  do.  Voting  igno- 
rantly  for  the  sake  of  voting  is  just 
as  despicable  as  not  voting  at  all. 
If  you  voted  forClinton  after  hav- 
ing investigated  the  issues,  I  re- 
ally respect  that.  But  you're  prob- 
ably a  real  minority.

Safe  sex 

Jan.  21 

Finally.  The  Post  is  raising  les- 
bian and  bisexual  issues...  without 
mentioning  lesbianism  or  bisexu- 
al ity.  The  Jan.  1 5  Post  article  about 
dental  dams  was  missina  some 


/ital  information. 

First  and  t'oreniost,  dental  dams 
ire  square  latex  sheets  about  3"  by 
V  used  when  performing  oral  sex 
)n  women.  The  person  perform- 
ng  oral  .sex  holds  the  latex  over 
he  woman's  genitalia  during  the 
process.  This  latex  hairier  pro- 
ects  both  the  recipient  and  the 
ndividual  performing  oral  sex. 

Not  only  can  lesbian  and  bi- 
sexual women  use  dental  dams, 
Hit  it  is  a  wise  idea  for  men  who 
jerforni  oral  sex  on  women. 

Dental  dams  are  not  without 
heir  drawbacks.  Problems  in- 
:lude:  awkwardness  (both  hands 
iiust  be  used  to  keep  them  in 
ilace),  small  si/e,  and  relative 
jnavailability. 

In  addition  to  the  Safe  Sex  Kit, 
lental  exams  are  available  through 
Jnited  Campus  Ministry  (and 
hey're  free). 

However,  it  is  recommended 
hat  NON-MICROWAVABLE

t  covers  a  larger  surgace  area. 

Mail  order  catalogs  such  as 
^andria  Collection,  olfer  dental 
lams  which  attach  behind  the  ears, 
.'overing  the  face  like  a  surgical 
nask.  This  innovation  allows  for 
nanual  freedom.  We  hope  this 
etter  adds  frankness  to  the  discus- 
sion of  AIDS  prevention.

Eldridge  defease 

Jan.  27 

It  is  known  to  anyone  that  has 
taken  an  Eldridge  class  that 
Aethelred  does  not  conform  to 
academia  as  we  know  it.  Eldridge 
is  anomaly,  a  point  of  flux  in  an 
otherwise  traditional  univers(  ity . ) 
Unfortunately  his  unconventional 
style  draws  people  to  take  his  class 
for  wrong  reasons,  namely,  an  easy 
"A."  To  others,  including  myself. 
Eldridge's  presence  and  legend 
on  campus  is  a  blessing,  keeping 
us  on  our  toes  and  reminding  us 
that  not  all  people  live  as  we  do 
within  conventional  forms  of 
lifestyle,  but  some  live  the  stuff  of 
myth.  Eldridge  paints  with  words. 
He  plays  with  language.  He  per- 
forms and  splices  elements  of 
fractured  discourses  together  in  a 
free-form  rhetorical  effect,  pro- 
fundity and  vocabulary.  It  is  not 
exactly  poetry  or  perfonnance  art, 
nor  is  it  lecture  of  even  instruc- 
tion, but  all  these  things  operating 
on  different  levels. 

On  another  level.  AE  is  pro- 
vocative and  entertaining.  He  is 
often  inflammatory.  The  value  of 
his  presence  here  goes  beyond  the 
mere  randomness  he  embodies. 


The  harshness  of  his  routine  is 
usually  focused  on  those  in  his 
classes  who  are  "not  getting  it."  to 
those  who  interrupt  the  atmosphere 
he  is  trying  to  create,  or  who  fail  to 
play  the  game  of  the  student/ 
teacher.  Unfortunately,  in  this 
most  recent  event,  his  harshness 
appears  to  have  been  inisdirected 
and  coded  in  such  a  way  as  to 
offend. 

While  1  cannot  assume  the  in- 
tent of  context  of  AE's  utterances, 
they  have  obviously  moved  people 
to  act.  While  we  should  not  ex- 
cuse such  events  of  verbal  vio- 
lence, we  should  also  not  demon- 
ize  the  characters  nor  expect  them 
to  bow  to  our  expectations.  If  we 
should  learn  anything  from 
Eldridge  with  his  awesome  use  of 
language,  is  that  language  can  be 
arbitrary,  meaning  indeterminate, 
and  that  words  can  at  times  refer 
only  to  themselves.  If  we  can  learn 
anything  from  this  misunder- 
standing, it  is  that  language, no 
matter  how  arbitrary  and  poetic, 
does  have  repercussions  in  real 
life,  on  real  people.  Words  even  in 
their  apparent  certainty  can  be  in- 
terrogated, dissected  and  enlisted 
as  a  means  of  liberation  (as 
Eldridge  has  demonstrated.)  For 
African  Americans,  women.  Jew  s. 
gays  and  others  who  have  histori- 
cally been  victims  of  power  in- 
equalities, words  have  been  a 
means  of  imprisonment  and  tor- 
ture.

the  academic  freedom  of  a  ten- 
ured faculty  member.  It  may  be 
argued  that  he  has  the  right  to 
express  his  ideas  in  the  classroom. 
On  its  face  it  is  a  difficult  argu- 
ment to  refute.  But  as  an  academic 
institution  dedicated  to  educational 
'  justice  for  all  we  must  find  a  way 
to  denounce  the  hurtful  and  pain- 
ful words  of  this  professor. 

No  freedom  is  absolute;  with 
every  freedom  comes  the  respon- 
sibility to  use  it  wi.sely.  We  live  in 
a  world  that  so  lacks  justice  and 
equality  that  those  in  power  have 
the  capacity  to  perpetrate  enor- 
mous hurt  on  others.  Our  world  is 
so  inequitable  that  the  powerful 
can  inflict  this  tremendous  harm 
merely  through  the  use  of  words. 
Dr.  Eldridge  acted  irresponsibly, 
and  in  so  doing,  violated  the  trust 
we  place  in  those  who  are  given 
power  and  authority  in  our  com- 
munity. 

Dr.  Eldridge  has  wounded  a 
number  of  people  on  this  campus 
very  deeply.  Some  of  those  in- 
jured are  friends  and  colleagues  of 
mine.  I  am  sorry  that  this  has 
happened  to  you.  It  is  time  to  con- 
demn his  words,  to  take  action 
against  his  betrayal  of  the  trust  we 
place  in  the  hands  of  all  faculty 
and  begin  the  healing  process.

8  a.m,  classes 


by  Amy  Buringrud 

Remember  eight  o'clock 
classes?  Some  of  us  had  to  drink  a 
pot  of  coffee  just  to  gain  the  en- 
ergy to  walk  to  class  (let  alone 
stay  awake  during  it ).  but  some  of 
us  just  liked  to  get  our  day  started 
earlier. 

Students  usually  took  eight  a.m. 
classes  either  because  they  chose 
them,  got  stuck  with  them,  orfound 
that  the  class  was  only  offered  in 
the  morning.  Those  that  purposely 
cho.se  the  early  time  usually  man- 
aged to  shower  and  sometimes  eat 
before  class.  But  those  who  had 
no  choice  of  times  usually  dragged 
themselves  out  of  bed.  allowing 
just  enough  time  to  throw  on  their 
clothes. 

Sophomore  Tim  Jones  had  a 
difficult  time  getting  out  of  his 
comfortable  bed  for  eight  o'clocks. 
Having  eight  o'clocks  that  did  not 
require  attendance  also  proved 
detrimental.  "If  it  was  (an)  atten- 
dance (class).  I  would  go  a  lot 
more."  he  said. 

Students  also  often  skipped 
early  classes,  regardless  of  whether 
the  absence  threatened  their 
grades.  If  they  skipped,  they  asked 
friends  in  the  class  for  the  notes, 
but  Jones  said  he  did  not  always 
trust  his  friends  to  give  hini  all  of 
the  information  he  missed. 

James  Cox.  an  accounting  pro- 
fessor, said  that  most  students  at- 
tended his  eight  o'clock  classes. 
"Most  people  go,  because  this  is  a 
class  where  you  have  to  do  your 
homework  every  night."  Cox  said. 

Whether  students  who  took 
eight  o'clocks  actually  went  to 
them  sometimes  depended  on  the 


season  and  the  class  subject  mat- 
ter. A  crisp  fall  morning  moti- 
vated more  students  to  get  up  at 
sunrise,  while  dreary,  gray  win- 
ter mornings  left  them  cringing 
under  the  warm  covers  —  espe- 
cially if  a  boring  lecture  loomed 


ahead. 

Early  classes  also  posed  a 
problem  for  most  of  the  week- 
night  partiers  .  Returning  home 
after  the  bars  closed  at  two  a.m. 
made  life  difficult  for  most  who 
wanted  to  make  it  to  their  eight 


o'clocks.  As  a  result,  most  stu- 
dents with  early  classes  saved  their 
partying  for  weekends. 

Sophomore  Joshua  Loyer  said 
he  did  not  mind  early  classes.  As 
Loyer  put  it.  "The  class  is  more 
important  than  the  time."  1^-

One  of  the  biggest  pri- 
orities of  students  was  sleep 
and  one  factor  robbed  them 
of  this  precious  commod- 
ity, flnals. 

The  university  sched- 
uled flnals  for  all  hours 
morning  to  evening,  caus- 
ing many  students  to  pull 
all-nighters.  "Finals  create 
a  lot  of  stress  for  me,"  said 
Freshman  Karen  Minnich. 
Others  had  a  handle  on 
finals  early  in  their  aca- 
demic career.  "I  don't  get 
real  psyched  out  about 
tests,"  said  Freshman  Beth 
Osweiler.  "I  can  always 
sleep  before  a  final,  and  I 
do  pretty  well." 

"I  never  get  any  sleep 
duringfinals,"  said  Sopho- 
more Brian  Hostetler.  "I 
put  off  studying  until  the 
night  before.  I  just  hope  I 
am  awake  enough  to  take 
the  test." 

End  of  the  quarter  tests 
ranged  from  quick 
Scantron  tests  to  essay 
questions  and  term 
projects.  "Quarter-long 
cumulative  tests  are  the 
worst.  I  hate  them," 
Minnich  said. 

Finals  also  delayed  stu- 
dents from  leaving  campus 
for  vacations.  "I'm  done 
by  Wednesday,"  said 
Osweiler.  "I  have  to  wait 
until  Friday  for  my  room- 
mate to  be  finished  so  we 
can  go  to  Florida  on  spring 
break.  But  I  don't 
mind."t^

Picture  driving  an  hour  and  a 
a  half  to  teach  a  class,  only  to 
face  metal  detectors,  elaborate 
sign-in  processes,  and  guards 
with  guns  stationed  atop  high 
stone  towers  connected  by 
barbed  wire  fences. 


According  to  the  professors 
who  taught  in  Southeast  Ohio 
prisons,  this  scenario  depicted 
one  of  the  most  unpleasant 
aspects  of  their  work.  They 
conducted  regular  university 
courses  in  four  prisons  as  part 
of  the  college  program  for  the 
incarcerated. 


Several  professors  from  OU 
campuses  used  the  program  to 
earn  extra  money,  teaching  the 
roughly  30  courses  offered  each 
quarter. 

"They  are  regular  OU 
students."  said  Thomas  Hodges, 
an  associate  professor  of 
journalism  on  the  Athens 


campus  who  has  participated  in 
the  program  off  and  on  for  about 
nine  years.  "They  are  required  to 
do  all  the  same  work  in  the  same 
time  period,  but  they  just  don't 
come  to  class  on  campus." 

The  classes  usually  met  twice 
a  week  at  night,  although  some 
courses  met  for  a  longer  lime 
only  once  a  week.  Students  had 
the  same  requirements,  however, 
and  understood  the  amount  of 
work  and  expectations  involved, 
said  Nancee  Bailey,  who  helped 
coordinate  the  program.  Inmates 
also  paid  for  their  education, 
usually  receiving  loans  from  the 
government. 

In  spite  of  the  same  require- 
ments for  students  on  campus  or 
in  prison,  professors  noticed 
many  differences  between  them. 
Peter  Kousaleos.  an  Athens 
campus  English  prof  who  has 
taught  at  the  Chillicothe.  Orient. 
Pickaway  and  Lancaster 
Correctional  Institutions  for  the 
past  25  years,  said  the  prisoners 
often  face  greater  challenges  to 
attend  college  than  "normal" 
students. 

"The  biggest  difference  is 
that  many  of  the  prisoners  have 
full-time  jobs  while  they're  in 
school,  but  they  live  in  a 
dormitory  situation."  Kousaleos 
said.  "It's  often  really  hard  for 
them  to  get  the  peace  and  quiet 
to  study  in.  especially  because 
there  are  a  lot  of  prisoners  who 
resent  the  fact  that  others  are 
going  to  school."  These  resent- 
ful inmates  often  disrupted  their 
studying  counterparts,  kicking 
them  out  of  the  few  study 
facilities  available  to  them,  he 
said. 

Kousaleos.  who  teaches 
Women's  Studies.  Native 
American,  and  African  Ameri- 
can Literature,  said  there's  also 
a  great  difference  in  age  and 
attitudes  between  the  two

groups.  "Most  ol'dlie  prisoners) 
arc  adiills.  and  are  very  serious 
about  their  studies."  he  said. 

And  the  number  of  diplomas 
awarded  to  the  prisoners 
illustrated  this  seriousness. 
Sinee  the  program's  inception  in 
19S6,  inmates  at  the  four 
prisons  earned  1 54  undergradu- 
ate degrees,  said  Bailey.  Many 
also  went  on  to  work  on 
master's  degrees,  she  said, 
pointing  out  the  significance  of 
this,  since  only  about  20  percent 
of  the  inmates  had  high  school 
diplomas.  Many  prisoners  not  in 
the  college  program  worked 
toward  high  school  equivalen- 
cies, realizing  the 
importance  of 
education. 

Ahhough  some 
inmates  enrolled  in 
college  courses 
simply  because  it 
helped  them  obtain 
parole  earlier,  most 
took  the  work 
seriously. 
Kousaleos  said. 
Many  who  did  not 
finish  degrees 
before  getting 
paroled  went  on  to 
finish  them  at  OU 
campuses,  he 
added  with  pride. 
Hodges  agreed  that  the  work, 
although  time-consuming  and 
difficult,  paid  off. 

"The  best  experience  is  when 
you  see  some  of  the  guys  who 
show  up  on  campus  as  graduate 
students."  said  Hodges,  who 
taught  mass  communications, 
advertising,  reporting  methods 
and  ethics.  "Then  you  know 
you've  been  successful  on  two 
levels:  as  an  educator,  and  in 
establishing  a  pattern  diffeicnt 
from  the  one  that  put  them  in 
prison  in  the  first  place." 
However,  no  statistics  showed 
how  much  impact  the  program 
had  on  the  prisoners  because  no 


studies  have  been  done  on  the 
recidivism  rate  of  inmates  with 
college  degrees.  Hodges  said. 

But  the  prisons  often  de- 
pressed the  professors  who 
taught  there.  "They're  not 
cheerful  places — they're  not 
decorated  by  the  same  people 
who  do  Howard  Johnson's," 
Hodges  said.  "You  see  people's 
freedoms  being  guarded  and 
limited  at  every  corner." 

Although  the  prisons  in- 
volved in  the  incarcerated 
program  were  not  ma,\imum 
security,  many  security  mea- 
sures existed,  such  as  metal 
detectors  and  aniicd  cuards.  The 


"It's  very  frightening  the  first 
time  you  go.  You  're  afraid 
someone's  going  to  shoot  you 
or  attack  you  or  something. 
But  then  you  realize  that 
these  things  could — and 
have — happened  in  regular 
classrooms. " 

Peter  Kousaleos, 
English  professor 


w ith  respect.  One  time,  when  he 
stepped  off  the  sidewalk  in  the 
courtyard  to  speak  w  ith  some 
fomier  students,  three  amied 
guards  appeared  immediately  to 
remind  him  of  the  "stay-on-the- 
sidewalk- where- we-can-see- 
you"  rule. 

So  why  did  profs  put  forth 
the  time,  preparation  and 
possible  danger  that  went  w  ith 
teaching  in  prisons'.' 

"I've  been  teaching  primarily 
minorities  over  the  years,  and 
they  need  a  boost  up," 
Kousaleos  said.  "Most  of  them 
were  very  bright  men.  but  the 
reason  they  were  there  in  the 
first  place  was 
because  they  had  no 
high  school  diploma 
or  job."  Promoting 
education  in  prison 
gave  ihem  an 
advantage  on  the  job 
market  when  they 
got  paroled,  he  said. 

The  rewards 
of  attending  gradua- 
tions of  students 
who  could  hardly 
read  five  years 
before  also  drove 
him  to  keep  teaching 
in  the  program. 


inmates  lived  in  donnitories.  but 
attended  classes  in  regular 
classrooms,  with  chalk  boards, 
lecture  podiums.  and  desks, 
Kousaleos  said.  To  get  to  the 
classrooms,  he  often  had  to  walk 
through  the  prison  compound 
among  prisoners  in  courtyards. 

"It's  very  frightening  the  first 
time  you  go,"  he  said.  "You're 
afraid  someone's  going  to  shoot 
you  or  attack  you  or  something. 
But  then  you  realize  that  these 
things  could — and  have — 
happened  in  regular  class- 
rooms." After  his  first  visit,  he 
said  he  never  felt  threatened  by 
the  prisoners,  who  treated  him 


"The  gratification 
you  get  from  students  who  are 
starting  to  .see  the  light  for  the 
first  time  and  appreciate  the 
education  they  are  receiving  is 
just  invaluable."  he  said.  "The 
kind  of  things  they  learn  also 
teaches  them  about  the  racism 
they're  up  against." 

Kousaleos.  68.  said  he 
probably  would  not  continue  to 
teach  in  the  incarcerated 
program  much  longer.  But 
Hodges  said  he  plans  to  continue 
his  work  with  the  four  prisons  in 
the  future.  "As  long  as  I  feel 
like  I'm  doing  some  good  in 
there.  I'll  go  back,"  he  said.^

into  education,  the  computer  labs 
became  one  of  the  hottest  spots 
on  campus.  Located  in  various 
areas  from  Alden  Library  to 
Grover.  computer  labs  helped  stu- 
dents finish  projects,  papers  and 
learn  to  type. 

Campus-wide  computer  labs 
became  free  to  students  beginning 
winter  quarter.  These  labs  in- 
cluded rooms  in  Alden  library 
and  the  new  ly-renno\  ated  Com- 
puter Services  building;  both  lo- 
cations maintain  Macintosh  and 
IBM  computers  so  that  students 


have  a  choice.  "We  are  slowly 
updating  the  lab  and  eliminating 
older  computers."  said  lab  atten- 
dant Gary  Brinkman.  a  freshman. 
"The  library  lab  is  the  second-best 
on  campus.  I  feel.  We  maintain 
control  on  printing  and  help  ev- 
eryone, including  international 
students,  gel  a  feel  for  computers." 
Establishing  individual  com- 
puter labs  within  adepartment  cost 
about  $60,000  for  the  initial 
equipment  and  supplies.  Main- 
taining a  lab  also  put  a  strain  on 
departments,  so  many  smaller  labs 
such  as  Ellis.  Grover.  Scripps  and 
Viscom  charged  printing  fees.  But 
these  labs  aided  students  in  learn- 


ing computer  skills  in  their  classes, 
as  well  as  providing  open  lab  times. 
"Letting  them  leam  on  computers 
from  their  first  day  in  lab  prepares 
students  with  the  basic  skills  they 
need  for  upper  level  classes."  said 
Graphics  Lab  Assistant  Cary 
Roberts,  a  graduate  student.  "I 
walk  around  troubleshooting  for 
students  while  the  professor  lec- 
tures. That  way  the  class  can  keep 
at  one  pace.  The  experience  is 
terrific  for  them." 

"Ellis'  English  lab  was  usually 
busy  depending  on  the  time  of 
day.  We  were  open  until  mid- 
night." said  lab  attendant  Matt 
Hartman.  a  araduate  student. 


"Most  students  were  pretty  new 
to  the  computers,  but  our  bigge.st 
problem  was  the  printer  breaking 
down." 

As  each  quartercame  to  aclose. 
lines  formed  outside  of  the  labs 
when  students  became  desperate 
to  get  last-minute  papers  finished. 
Some  students  resorted  to  other 
alternatives.  "1  spent  four  hours 
in  Kinko'  s  one  quarter  to  get  a  25- 
page  paper  done."  said  Junior 
Becky  Harrison.  "It  was  really 
expensive,  but  the  paper  was  due 
the  next  day.  Afterthat.  my  room- 
mate bought  a  Macintosh,  so  we 
don't  have  to  wait  for  the  labs 
anymore."  #-

The  Convo  seemed  like  a 
nightmare  to  most  students,  until 
university  registration  instituted 
something  "better" — the  Touch- 
Tone  Registration  And  Informa- 
tion Processing  System. 

The  registration  department 
installed  TRIPS  during  winter 
break,  using  it  for  the  first  time  for 
add/drops  for  winter  quarter 
classes,  said  Pete  Noll,  assistant 
registrar  for  registration. 

"In  the  very  beginning,  we  did 
have  some  problems  we  didn't 
have  in  the  five  tests  previous  to 
that."  Noll  said  of  the  system's 
sporadic  dropping  of  students  from 
classes  in  December.  "But  it  went 
down  after  the  first  day.  and  we 
had  to  change  and  reinstall  the 
program." 

University  officials  originally 
proposed  using  an  on-line  regis- 
tration system  in  1984.  After  sev- 
eral years  of  study,  they  decided  a 
touch-tone  system  would  prove 
most  effective.  Noll  said.  A  soft- 
ware system  and  touch-tone  reg- 
istration program  tied  into  a  main 
frame  computer;  technical  offi- 
cials then  implemented  a  voice 
program  that  recited  options  and 
repeated  students'  schedules.  The 
cost  estimates  for  the  system  were 
not  disclo.sed. 

Once  technicians  ironed  out  the 
add/drop  problems,  the  system 
operated  better  during  spring 
quarter  pre-registration.  when  the 
biggest  problem  for  students  be- 
came getting  through  to  the  sys- 
tem. TRIPS  worked  exceptionally 
well,  considering  the  large  num- 
ber of  full  and  part-time  students 
who  used  it.  Noll  said. 

"Right  now.  we've  registered 
in  excess  of  18.000  people."  he 
said  after  spring  pre-registration. 
That  number  included  regional 
campuses,  he  said. 

But  some  students  wondered  if 
TRIPS  beat  out  the  Convo  for 


inefficiency.  After  getting  a  busy 
signal  for  10  minutes  during 
spring  pre-registration.  Junior 
Melissa Trumpey  said  the  system 
welcomed  her — and  then  hung 
up.  Afteranother  long  wait  to  get 
through,  she  was  clo.sed  out  of 
two  classes.  But  it  all  worked  out 
in  the  end.  she  said. 

"I  was  really  mad."  she  said. 
"I'd  rather  go  to  the  Convo.  even 
though  that  was  a  pain  in  the  butt. 
But  once  I  got  through  the  frus- 
tration of  it.  it  was  okay."  In  spite 
of  her  problems.  Trumpey  said 
she  liked  knowing  her  schedule 
riaht  awav. 


Junior  Jennifer  Anderson  also 
experienced  difficulties  with  the 
system  during  add/drops.  "As  I'd 
call  in.  it  kept  hanging  up  on  me." 
she  said.  "I  just  kept  calling  back, 
and  it  took  an  hour  and  a  hall  for 
me  to  get  through  and  for  it  to 
accept  my  student  code." 

Anderson  said  she  thought  the 
system  would  improve  once  tech- 
nicians worked  out  all  the  bugs. 
Noll  agreed. 

"It's  definitely  easier  for  stu- 
dents than  the  Convo."  Noll  said. 
"We  still  have  some  things  to  im- 
prove, but  I'm  very  pleased  with 
how  it's  gone  so  far."  •<^-

"Globalization"  became  the 
buzz  word  of  the  nineties.  In  the 
OU  community,  globalization 
weaved  into  students'  and  resi- 
dences' way  of  life.  From  Af- 
ghanistan to  Zimbabwe.  1.256  in- 
ternational students  represented 
101  countries. 

Alan  Boyd,  director  of  Inter- 
national Student  and  Faculty  Ser- 
vices said.  "The  world  is  very 
much  with  us  here!"  Indeed, 
people  saw  much  of  the  world 


through  their  daily  cross-cultural 
interactions  during  both  work  and 
play. 

According  to  ISFS  figures,  the 
cultural  quilt  in  Athens  shrank 
slightly  from  previous  years.  In 
the  fall,  international  student  en- 
rollment fell  5  percent  from  199 1 ; 
new  international  student  enroll- 
ment fell  by  15.7  percent.  How- 
ever, new  students  from  the 
Commonwealth  of  Independent 
States  and  Eastern  Europe  brought 
new  campus  representation  from 
three  countries. 


Americans  had  many  ways  to 
meet  and  socialize  with  these  for- 
eign guests.  International  student 
organizations  such  as  the  Interna- 
tional Student  Union  and  Athens 
Friends  of  International  Students 
organized  plays,  seminars  and 
parties  to  promote  cross-cultural 
communication. 

Junior  Bradley  Horton.  an  art 
therapy  major,  enjoyed  mi.xing 
with  international  students.  "They 
show  us  new  perspectives  in  life 
and  we  can  learn  a  lot  from  them  if 
we  only  open  our  minds."  Horton 


said. 

But  other  students  found  it  dif- 
ficult to  make  contact  with  theif 
international  peers.  Elizabeth 
Rieger.  a  sophomore  psychology 
major  said.  "Because  of  many 
differences,  it's  sometimes  diffi- 
cult, so  we  should  concentrate  on 
exploring  our  common  interests." 

In  fact,  many  Americans  who 
mixed  well  with  international 
students  found  that  playing  gamei 
like  soccer  and  ping  pong  helped 
establish  common  ground  for

friendships.  International  students 
also  eagerly  attemped  to  make 
contact  with  Americans,  although 
some  hesitated  to  make  the  first 
move  in  a  foreign  land.  Sophomore 
Angela  Cheng,  an  interpersonal 
communication  major  from  Hong 
Kong  said.  "Many  international 
students  are  afraid  they  might  of- 
fend someone  if  they're  not  care- 
ful." 

Unfortunately,  professors  did 
not  always  tolerate  such  passiv- 
ism in  class.  Graduate  student 
Marcus  Dahn.  president  of  ISU. 
explained  that  international  stu- 
dents sometimes  experienced  dif- 
ficult classroom  situations,  "A 
small  number  of  professors  are 
impatient  with  international  stu- 
dents because  they  do  not  under- 
stand their  [cultural  back- 
grounds]," said  the  native 
Liberian, 

Mr,  DavidTilahun,  an  Assistant 
Director  of  ISFS.  said  other  prob- 
lems included  "cultural  adjust- 
ments, food,  climate  and  housing 
in  Athens." 

In  spite  of  the  difficulties  of 
adapting  to  a  new  culture,  many 
international  students  returned  to 
their  own  countries  with  precious 
memories  of  their  time  in 
Athens. ■^^

Although  the  t'ootball  team  re- 
corded only  one  win  for  the  sea- 
son, the  players  showed  their 
dedication  and  spirit  in  every 
game.  They  improved  throughout 
the  season  despite  their  losses. 

The  highlights  of  the  year  in- 
cluded the  win  over  Kent  State 
University  and  comebacks  in  the 
Miami  and  Ball  State  University 
games. 

The  team's  ability  to  make  a 
comeback  in  the  second  half  of 
many  games  proved  a  strong  point 
of  the  season.  The  most  important 
team  goal  involved  developing  a 
winning  attitude,  said  Head  Coach 
Tom  Lichtenberg.  "I  feel  we  have 
improved  weekly  as  a  team.  1 
personally  think  there  are  a  lot  of 


winners  on  this  team."  he  said. 

Tim  Curtis,  a  senior  running 
back,  said  the  team  never  dwelled 
on  a  loss.  They  simply  recovered 
from  each  one  and  went  into  the 
following  week' s  practice  focused 
on  i  mprovement  for  the  next  game, 
he  said. 

Senior  linebacker  and  co-cap- 
tain Jason  Carthen  wrote  a  letter  in 
The  Post  asking  OU  students  to 
support  the  team  by  going  to  the 
homecoming  game  against  long- 
time Bobcat  rivals,  the  Miami 
Redskins.  A  record  crowd  of 
20.5.^  1  people  rallied  at  Peden 
Stadium  to  cheer  the  Bobcats  dur- 
ing the  Oct.  17  game. 

Late  in  the  fourth  quarter,  with 
Miami  winning  2.^- 1 4.  Ohio  made 
a  comeback  when  Junior  Courtney 
Burton  returned  a  Miami  kickoff 


88  yards  to  score  a  touchdown. 
Although  OU  lost  with  the  score 
at  23-21.  the  team  showed  their 
winning  attitude  through  determi- 
nation and  persistence. 

The  team  also  proved  their 
dedication  and  effort  in  the  battle 
against  Ball  State,  but  the  game 
ended  with  another  close  loss  of 
24-2 1 .  Coach  Lichtenberg  said  the 
team  played  hard,  the  defense 
played  well  and  the  offense  kept 
the  ball  moving,  but  four  incom- 
plete pas.ses  near  the  end  of  the 
fourth  quarter  left  the  Bobcats  with 
yet  another  defeat. 

Despite  the  string  of  los.ses. 
Lichtenberg  said  he  enjoyed 
coaching  the  team  because  they 
played  to  the  best  of  their 
ability,  i^

If  observers  considered  the 
Mid-American  Conference 
standings  or  the  MAC  Champi- 
onship Tournament  results  they 
might  not  see  the  OU  field  hockey 
team's  progress. 

"I  think  we  definitely  ini- 
pro\ed."'  four-year  coach  Mary 
Milne  said.  "We  have  a  talented 
group,  and  we  had  a  more 
sucessful  season  than  the  end  in- 
dicated." 

Battling  inconsistency 
throughout  the  year,  the  Bobcats 
downed  Radford,  who  nearly  up- 
ended national  champion  Old 
Dominion.  2-1.  then  beat  Michi- 
gan State  for  the  first  time.  But  in 
spite  of  all  the  successes,  a  2- 1 
loss  to  Central  Michigan  in  the 
MAC  championships' 
quarterfinal  round  hurt  the  most: 


Michigan  had  not  won  any  games 
that  season. 

"The  season  didn't  go  the  way 
I  thought  it  would,"  said  Senior 
Co-Captain  Jen  Sponsler.  "I  re- 
ally thought  we  should  have  won 
more  games  with  the  talent  we 
had.  We  just  weren't  lucky." 

Sponsler  contributed  to  the 
team's  talents.  She  won  an  honor- 
able mention  All-MAC  selection 
along  with  Junior  Marilyn 
Caccavo,  who  scored  two  goals 
and  collected  a  career-high  1 1 
defensive  saves. 

Junior  forward  VemTorrez  led 
OU  for  the  second  straight  year 
with  five  goals  while  junior 
Marlene  Annoni  scored  four. 

Leadership  will  be  necessary 
next  year,  especially  with  a  group 
of  10  freshmen  frothing  to  get  a 
starting  role.  Almost  assuredly, 
these  first  year  women  will  battle 


the  upperclass  players  for  starting 
positions. 

Freshman  forward  Danielle 
Jobes  scored  three  goals  and  goal- 
keeper Shannon  Clarey.  a  fresh- 
man, took  the  duties  in  the  cage 
from  a  senior.  Both  made  fa\or- 
able  impressions  on  the  rest  of  the 
conference. 

"The  freshmen  were  a  very 
important  factor  in  our  games  this 
season."  Milne  said.  "They'll 
added  a  lot  of  skill  and  depth  to 
our  lineup,  as  well  as  a  lot  of 
excitement." 

The  young  team  impressed  a 
lot  of  people  and  took  the  next 
step  toward  gaining  back  respect 
for  the  teain.  "We  have  just  a  few 
pieces  left  to  fill  in  before  our 
program  will  be  there."  Milne  said. 
"We  are  very  close  to  being  able 
to  push  this  team  to  the  top.  which 
is  where  it  belongs."  -iff

All  season,  members  of  the 
women's  volleyball  team  looked 
forward  to  playing  in  the  Mid- 
American Conference  play-offs 
Nov.  27  in  Battle  Creek.  Mich. 

"Of  course,  everybody  in  the 
MAC  wants  todo  that.  Going  into 
the  season  we  really  thought  we 
had  a  chance."  said  sophomore 
Sarah  Willard.  However,  team 
members  soon  realized  that  pre- 
season injuries  and  problems  w  ith 
maintaining  intensity  during 
games  would  not  win  them  the 
chance  to  compete  in  the  play- 
offs. 

As  the  end  of  the  season  quickly 
approached,  the  team  battled  the 
lack  of  concentration  that  cost 
them  losses  in  key  matches  against 
MAC  opponents.  The  series  of 
losses  urged  the  players  and 
coaches  to  re-evaluate  their  stand- 
ing and  readjust  their  goals. 
Building  a  winning  record  for  the

rest  of  the  season  became  the  new 
objective,  and  they  pursued  this  to 
a  final  15-15. 

From  the  start,  the  season  held 
excitement  for  the  volleyball  pro- 
gram. Head  Coach  Lynn 
Davidson's  first  class  of  recruits 
faced  their  senior  year.  Brenda 
Bailey  and  Glenn  Fanelly.  both 
middle  blockers,  did  an  impres- 
sive job  on  defense,  with  Fanelly 
compiling  an  attack  percentage  of 
..^12  and  holding  the  top  hitting 
percentage.  Bailey  held  the  con- 
ference record  for  digs  per  game, 
received  top  ranking  in  Division 
I.  and  set  several  OU  records. 

Another  senior.  Maureen 
Smith,  ended  her  final  year  on  a 
positive  note  as  starting  setter  for 
the  Bobcats.  Davidson  said.  "We 
will  miss  all  three  players — 
they've  made  a  major  contribu- 
tion to  the  program  and  have  done 
an  outstanding  job." 

Other  starters  included  Casey 
Crumlev   and   Sarah   Willard. 


sophomore  middle  blockers  who 
received  plenty  of  floor  play. 
Freshman  Lori  Wolff  also  started 
the  season  and  played  in  the  back 
court  for  the  Bobcats. 

Early  season  wins  over  George 
Washington  and  Xavier  at  the  OU 
Invitational  prepared  the  Bobcats 
to  take  on  MAC  teams.  The 
squad's  sporadic  bursts  of  inten- 
sity throughout  the  season,  how- 
ever, failed  against  their  less  ex- 
perienced opponents,  such  as  Ak- 
ron and  Toledo.  But  when  it 
counted,  team  members  came  to- 
gether to  defeat  tougher  teams, 
including  Dayton  and  Wright 
State. 

These  changing  levels  of  con- 
centration brought  the  realization 
that  the  team  would  not  make  the 
play-off  cuts  by  the  end  of  the 
season.  As  the  season  progressed, 
the  players  went  after  it  with  a 
renewed  spirit  and  attained  their 
new  objective  of  a  winning  sea- 
son. -^

but  I  think  we  handled  it  really 
well."  said  Senior  Co-Captain 
Diane  Rowley.  "We  weren't  fa- 
vored, but  we  knew  that  we  could 
do  it  and  that  we  were  going  to 
have  to  run  our  best  race." 

And  they  certainly  attained 
their  goal.  They  finished  the  race 
with  a  twelve-point  lead  and 
placed  four  runners  in  the  top 
twelve,  qualifying  all  four  for  the 
AU-MAC  team.  Rowley  led  the 
team  with  a  I'ourth-place  finish, 
followed  by  freshman  Jill  Kent  at 
10th.  junior  Kris  Parks  ;uid  1  Ith 
and  senior  Bonnie  Tigyer  at  12th. 

The  day  started  out  well  when 


the  men's  team  shocked  everyone 
by  placing  second  despite  an 
eighth-place  prediction.  "The  men 
were  ecstatic.  It  looked  like  we 
had  won  the  race,  when  we  really 
took  second."  Coach  Elmore 
Banton  said. 

The  men's  finish  surprised 
many  because  the  team,  made  up 
of  freshmen  and  sophomores,  had 
less  experience  than  their  oppo- 
nents. Freshman  Chris  England 
made  the  All-MAC  team,  topping 
his  best  time  and  leading  the  team 
with  his  eighth-place  finish.  "The 
men  were  picked  eighth  and  they 
looked  it,  but  they  ran  a  tremen- 
dous race.  It  was  a  fantastic  finish 
for  a  great  year,"  Banton  said.  >■

The  men's  basketball  team  shot 
its  wa\  to  a  II  -7  record  in  the 
Mid-American  Conference  (14- 
13  overall)  finding  itself  in  the 
MAC  tournament.  The  Bobcats 
lost  in  the  first  round  to  Toledo, 
ending  the  \  ear  w  itii  a  fourth  place 
MAC  finish. 

The  Bobcats  faltered  at  the 
beginning  of  the  season,  with 
losses  to  tough  teams  like  Ohio 
State  and  Kansas  State.  Freshman 
forward  Gary  Trent  attributed  this 
to  the  large  number  of  first-xear 
players  on  the  team.  "Freshmen 
are  always  handicapped  at  first 
because  they  don't  know  each 
other,  they  haven 't  played  together 
yet." he  said.  These  freshman  will 
fill  the  shoes  of  Chad  Gill  and  J. 
Barry,  the  team's  two  graduating 
seniors.

Michigan,  a  Bobcat  eager  attempts

Freshman  center  Jason  Terry 
said.  "At  the  beginning  of  the 
season,  the  lack  of  experience  hurt 
us.  but  it's  all  uphill  from  here." 

Team  captain  Chad  Estis.  a  se- 
niorguard.  agreed.  "You'll  always 
have  a  better  team  u  ith  more  ex- 
perienced players,  but  our  fresh- 
men had  lots  of  ability  and  made  a 
huge  impact — players  like  Gary 
Trent.  Jason  Terry.  Gus  Johnson. 
When  the  season  began,  it  was  a 
little  bit  of  a  handicap,  but  we'll  be 
even  better  next  year." 

Bright  spots  in  the  season 
included  thrashing  Miami 
University  on  their  home  court, 
and  spectacular  performances. 
Trent  led  the  Bobcats  in  points 
and  rebounds  per  game  for  much 
of  the  year.  He  also  placed  near 
the  top  in  MAC  statistics  for 
scorina  and  reboundina.  won  All- 


Mac  Playerof  the  Year,  Freshman 
of  the  Year,  and  received  the 
unanimous  vote  to  the  All-MAC 
Freshman  team.  Johnson, 
another  first-year  student,  became 
a  key  player.  Named  to  the  All- 
MAC  Freshman  team,  he  stepped 
into  the  point  guard  position.  He 
led  the  team  in  minutes  played, 
averaging  nearly  .^,'i  points  per 
game  until  he  tore  a  ligament  in 
his  knee  nearthe  end  of  the  season. 
He  underwent  therapy  and  is 
expected  to  return  to  the  team 
next  season. 

The  Sixth  Man.  a  group  of 
rowdy  students,  filled  the 
bleachers  at  the  home  games — 
and  traveled  to  a  few  av\'ay  ones — 
to  cheeron  the  Bobcats  and  psych 
out  opponents.  E.stis  said.  "We've 
got  a  great  home  crowd  in  the 
Convo.  When  the  fans  get  loud,  it 
pumps  us  up.  The  Sixth  Man  was 
areat!"-<^-

WOMEN'S  BASKETBALL 


by  Brian  Kttkin 

The  womeirs  haskclhull  tciiin 
made  great  strides  on  the  wa\  to  a 
tilth-place  Mid- American 
Conference  finish. 

TheBobcats(13-14overall.  10- 
X  in  the  MAC)  struggled  at  the 
beginning  of  the  season,  losing 
three  of  their  first  four  MAC 
contests. 

After  a  win  at  Western  Michi- 
gan. OLi  Coach  Marsha  Real!  in- 
serted Freshman  point  guard  Kim 
VanKannel  into  the  lineup. 
VanKannel  asserted  herself  as  the 
team's  tloor  leader,  and  the  Bob- 
cats went  8-5  the  rest  of  the  way 
before  losing  their  first-round 
M.\C  tournament  game  to  Toledo 
77-6.'^. 


"The  ihmg  1  like  best  about  her 
is  that  shooting  was  the  last  thing 
on  her  list,"  Reall  said.  "And  she 
was  always  trying  to  set  up  four 
other  people.  Basically  she  can 
see  at  least  two  passes  ahead,  and 
that's  what  you  need  to  have  from 
a  point  guard." 

Despite  the  early  exit,  the 
Bobcats  doubled  their  conference 
win  total  from  last  season  (.5-1 1 ). 

Much  of  the  credit  for  the  im- 
pro\  enient  w  ent  to  Senior  forward 
Kelly  Weir,  who  finished  her  ca- 
reer as  OU's  third-leading  scorer. 
Weir  earned  first  team  All-MAC 
honors  and  led  the  Bobcats  in  scor- 
ing 1 1 7.0),  rebounding  (7.4).  field- 
goal  percentage  ( .500 ),  three-point 
percentage  (.371).  free-throw 
percentage  (.826),  steals  (l.Sl). 


and  minutes  (36.6). 

"Kelly  just  had  an  exceptional 
year,"  Reall  said.  "She  has  the 
best  work  ethic  of  any  player  I '  ve 
ever  seen,  at  any  level." 

But  players  other  than 
VanKannel  and  Weir  also 
contributed  to  the  show. 
Sophomore  center  Holly  Skeen 
stepped  into  the  starting  lineup 
and  finished  second  to  Weir  in 
scoring  (10.9).  rebounds  (6.4), 
field-goal  percentage  (.459).  and 
minutes  (32.3).  She  led  the  team 
in  blocked  shots  (.85). 

Throw  in  Juniors  Terra  Petty 
and  Bonnie  Owens,  both  of  w  hom 
averaged  8.6  points  a  game,  and 
the  Bobcats  had  an  exciting  and 
promising  nucleus  for  the  1992- 
93  season,  i^-

Some  things  never  change. 

The  women's  swimming  and 
diving  team  came  out  on  top  at 
evei^  Mid-American  Conference 
dual  meet  and  walked  away  with 
the  MAC  tournament 
championship  trophy  for  the  fifth 
year  in  a  row.  The  men's  team 
concluded  the  season  with  a  record 
of  1 1  wins  and  five  losses  (4-!  in 
the  MAC),  but  fell  short  of  winning 
the  MAC  tournament,  a  feat  they 
have  not  accomplished  since  1 97 1 . 
But  the  similiarities  from  years 
past  ended  there. 

The  women's  swim  team  had 
to  adjust  to  the  loss  of  a  strong 
class  dubbed  as  the  "dynasty." 
Sophomore  Tara  Clevenger  said 
of  last  year's  senior  teammates. 
"We  had  to  fill  in  where  they  left 
off."  Judging  by  their  1  l-.^i  (."i-O  in 
the  M.^C  I  record,  the  team  found 
plenty  of  new  talent  to  fill  the  gaps 
left  by  last  year's  four  stand-out 
.seniors. 

Both  the  women's  and  the 
men's  teams  depended  more  on 
strong  freshman  performances 
than  they  previously  had.  With  14 
incoming  male  freshmen  and  12 
females,  youth  prevailed  in  many 
of  the  races.  "A  good  freshman 
class  is  real  important."  said  Jun- 
ior Jeff  Tow .  "It  helps  the  upper- 
classmen,  actually."  Tow  said  the 
freshmen's  successes  inspired  the 
older  team  members  to  beat  them. 
Head  Coach  Scott  Hammond  said 
the  freshmen  contributions  ended 
up  a  positive  thing.  "Leadership 
came  from  a  lot  of  different  direc- 
tions and  was  very  evenly  distrib- 
uted." he  said. 

While  the  women  finished  first 
in  the  MAC  dual-meet  season  and 
the  men  fell  into  a  three-way  tie 
for  the  dual-meet  MAC  title,  both 
teams  knew  the  true  test  came  at 
the  M.'XC  tournament.  Discussing 
the  women's  team.  Assistant 
Coach  Gregory  Oberlin  said,  "This 


J^^ 


is  the  first  year  when  we  did  not 
have  anyone  left  over  from  the 
first  lime  we  won  [the  MAC|.  All 
the.se  people  know  is  winning." 

Their  sense  of  winning  intact, 
the  women  found  a  slight  change 
of  scener\  at  the  MAC  tournament. 
Suddenly,  they  had  to  fight  for  the 
title  they  had  easily  held  for  the 
past  four  years.  The  hard  work 
paid  off  as  they  nabbed  the  MAC 
title  again,  but  by  a  much  smaller 
margin  than  in  the  past.  The 
women  edged  past  second-place 
team.  Bowling  Green  State 
University,  by  a  mere  23  points. 
the  smallest  margin  in  MAC 
history.  Coach  Oberlin  said  the 
close  score  made  the  meet  exciting, 
but  Clevenger  said.  "I  think  inside 
we  knew.  We  knew  Bowling 
Green  was  soins  to  be  touah.  but 


1  think  we  knew  in  our  hearts  we 
were  going  to  win." 

Like  the  woinen's  meet,  the 
men's  MAC  championship  title 
had  long  been  the  possession  of 
the  one  team.  This  winning  streak, 
however,  belonged  to  Eastern 
Michigan  LIniversity.  But  after 
EMU  fell  victim  to  the  Bobcat 
onslaught  in  a  dual-meet  earlier  in 
the  season,  the  men's  team  hoped 
they  could  also  prevail  at  the  MAC 
tournament.  Tow  said.  "I  think 
our  team  w  as  more  confident  than 
we  had  been  in  the  past  few  years." 
The  confidence,  however,  did  not 
help  them  win  the  meet.  They 
finished  fourth  in  the  six-team 
league.  EMU  captured  the  title 
again  with  Ball  State  Universilv 
and  Miami  University  in  second 
and  third,  respectively.  -^

The  season  started  the  first  day 
of  fall  quaner.  Season  preparations 
included  running,  conditioning, 
long  practices,  and  refomied  eating 
habits.  ""Sometimes  we  have  forty 
guys  come  out.  and  by  the  end  of 
the  season  we  have  twenty  on  the 
team,  so  you  lose  about  half  the 
team,  mostly  because  it's  a  tough 
sport."said  Sophomore  Joe  Rizzi. 

The  tough  practices  and  strict 
diets  helped  the  men  grab 
individual  and  team  victories  at 
matches  and  the  Mid-American 
Conference  tournament. 

""The  best  match  was  against 
Miami, ■■  said  Senior  Casey 
Yackin,  ""because  we  have  five 
fifth  year  seniors  on  the  team,  and 
as  long  as  we've  been  here,  we've 
never  beat  them." 

However.  Freshman  Charlie 
Wuethrich.  a  ""red  shirt.'"  differed 


u  ith  Yackin  on  the  best  match. 
'"Our  last  match  against  Central 
Michigan.  Joey  Calhoun,  a 
freshman,  pinned  the  returning 
MAC  champ.  That  was  probably 
the  best  match  I  had  seen  this  year, 
because  Central  Michigan  was 
picked  to  win  the  MAC  and  we 
destroyed  them  in  thedual  match." 

The  w  restlers  went  on  to  defeat 
Central  Michigan  and  defending 
MAC  champs.  Miami  for  a 
championship  finish  with  SI 
points.  The  win  was  a  team  effort 
« ith  four  first-place  finishes  and 
all  but  two  people  placing. 

Ri//i  described  The  MAC  meet 
as  a  stepping  stone  to  the  national 
tournament.  '"Each  team  isallowed 
to  enter  ten  people,  one  of  each 
weight  class,  and  then  you  have  to 
take  first  place  to  go  to  nationals." 

The  team  required  at  least  one 
first  place  wrestler  to  attend 
nationals  at  Iowa  State  in  March. 

Four  of  the  team's  wrestlers 


placed  fust  at  the  .MAC.  which 
guaranteed  them  a  chance  to 
wrestle  at  hiwa  State  in  March. 
Joe  Calhoun  won  the  142  pound 
weight-class  and  also  received 
MAC  honors  for  '"Outstanding 
Wrestler"  and  "Freshman  of  the 
Year."  Senior  Paul  Casey. 
Freshman  Terry  Shinkle  and 
Junior  Robi  Wingrove  also 
captured  the  MAC  titles  in  their 
weight-classes. 

Senior  Brett  Adkins  also  went 
to  nationals  on  a  ""wild  card"  entry 
after  he  finished  second  at  the 
MACs.  He  advanced  the  farthest 
in  the  national  meet.  ""They  place 
the  top  eight."  said  Casey,  ""but 
(Adkins)  got  to  the  round  where 
there  were  only  twelve  left." 

As  a  result  of  these  strong 
individual  performances,  the 
wrestlers  finished  .^3  in  the  nation. 
To  celebrate  their  victories,  the) 
planned  to  hold  a  reunion  next 
year  at  the  MAC  tournament.  -^

Hockey  fans  did  not  mind 
waiting  in  line  outside  Bird  Arena 
to  spend  their  Friday  and  Saturday 
evenings  cheering  for  the  Bobcats. 
But  while  the  crowd  applauded 
the  team's  scoring  ability,  they 
also  spent  time  shouting  their 
disapproval  of  a  missed  shot. 
Junior  left  wing  Kevin  McQuillan 
said.  "At  OU  the  crowd  is  always 
behind  you.  but  they  can  get  down 
on  you.  too.  After  the  Wisconsin- 
Stout  game,  when  we  left  the  ice. 
we  felt  like  we  let  them  down.  " 

The  hockey  team  had  a  roller- 
coaster  season,  performing 
strongly  against  Ohio  State  and 
Miami,  but  losing  in  the  Arizona 
and  Penn  State  games.  The  team 
sustained  disappointing  moments 
follow  ing  two  losses  to  Wisconsin- 
Stout.  which  destroyed  the 
possiblity  of  an  invitation  to  the 


national  championships.  Mike 
Lee,  a  sophomore  goalie,  said, 
"The  season  was  kind  of 
disappointing  because  we  didn't 
make  the  championships,  we  were 
counting  on  doing  that  this  year." 

Three  seniors  led  a  team  of 
new  players.  Senior  center  and 
alternate  captain  Chris  Barr  said, 
"We're  young,  we  play  on 
emotions.  Next  year  we  should  be 
really  strong.  We'll  pull  together, 
know  what  to  expect,  and  be  more 
organized."  McQuillan  agreed, 
saying,  "We '11  be  looking  to  polish 
up  mistakes  we  made  this  year." 

Next  year  also  brings 
membership  in  a  new  conference, 
the  Central  State  Collegiate 
Hockey  League.  OU  will  become 
a  member  of  the  Eastern  Bracket, 
playing  against  Michigan- 
Dearborn.  Eastern  Michigan, 
Illinois  and  Toledo.  Ohio  State, 
Wisconsin-Stout.   Marquette, 


Purdue,  and  Minnesota  will 
comprise  the  Western  Bracket. 
The  league  playoffs  include  the 
top  two  teams  in  each  bracket  plus 
two  wild  card  spots  based  on  the 
teams'  ranking  with  the  American 
Collegiate  Hockey  Association. 
Four  out  of  the  eight  teams  in  next 
year's  league  went  to  the  1993 
championships,  prompting  hockey 
advisor  James  Gilmore  to  say,  "We 
have  just  gotten  into  the  most 
prestigious  club  league  in  hockey." 
Coach  Robb  Wade  touched  on 
these  points.  "Since  more  than  half 
the  team  were  freshmen  and 
sophomores,  we  suffered  a  little, 
but  we'll  be  that  much  better  next 
year, "  he  said.  "With  the  entrance 
into  the  new  league,  the  level  of 
competition  will  be  more  steady. 
There  will  akso  be  some  coaching 
changes,  and  a  combination  of 
those  three  things  will  lead  to  a 
better  record."  -ite-

Both  the  men's  and  women's

"With  a  bigger  throwing  team, 
there  were  more  people  to  pal

well  at  the  Ohio  Championship, 
the  team  achieved  a  dual  meets

Coach  Joe  Carborne  looks  for 
baseball  placers  with  talent,  not 
potential.  "The  meaning  of  poten- 
tial, I  tell  them,  is  that  you  haven't 
done  anything  lately."  he  said. 
Sophomore  Pitcher  Jason  Bir- 
mingham also  commented  on  the 
teaiTi's  talent  and  potential.  "Con- 
sidering the  talent  we  have  on  our 
team,  we  should  have  been  able  to 
do  a  lot  better  than  we  did."  he 
said.  Birmingham  added,  however 
that  a  lof  of  guys  on  the  team 
played  below  their  potential 
throughout  the  season. 


The  young  team  finished  the  sea- 
son with  a  2 1  -26  record  and  fifth 
in  MAC  (13-15).  Because  of  the 
weather  early  in  the  season  a  lot  of 
the  games  were  rained  out.  which 
put  the  pitchers  off.  This,  added  to 
the  fact  that  most  of  the  players  on 
the  team  were  young,  contributed 
to  the  team's  26  losses.  "It  has 
been  very  frustrating,  both  for  me 
and  the  players.  We  have  been 
inconsistent  and  that's  really  been 
because  of  the  youth,"  said 
Carborne. 

The  season  lasted  from  February 
to  May,  but  the  players  trained  all 
year.  This   included  extensive

"As  long  as  the  season  is.  you 
have  to  be  in  shape  to  play  or 
you're  not  going  to  win."  said 
Freshman  John  Hunt. 
Hunt  said  teain  cohesiveness  was 
as  important  as  physical  training. 
"You  can't  play  a  team  sport  un- 
less you  get  along  with  the  play- 
ers, it  just  doesn't  work."  said 
Hunt.  Freshman  Brady  Gick. 
would  agree.  "We're  all  close. 
We  usually  go  to  someone's  house 
and  hang  out  usually  on  the  week- 
ends, if  we're  not  away.  We  try  to 
hang  out  together."  said  Gick.'*"

The  season  presented  the 
women's  softball  team  with 
numerous  challenges.  Weaknesses 
in  pitching,  mental  errors  in 
defense,  and  inconsistency  in 
offense  contributed  to  the  team's 
difficult  season.  "Our  goal  was  to 
put  the  team  together  and  nia\  be 
finish  sixth  or  seventh  in  the  Mid 
Amencan  Conference."  said  Head 
Coach  Christine  Miner.  "It's  really 
frustrating,  our  losses  ha\e  been 
very  unexpected." 

Miner  partially  attributed  the 
team's  difficulties  to  the  eight  first- 
year  students  whojoined  the  team 


this  season.  "With  five  freshman 
starting,  we  have  a  young  team. 
It's  great  for  next  year,  but  this 
year  we're  making  lots  of 
mistakes,"  said  Miner.  In  addition 
to  the  five  freshman,  two 
sophomores,  one  junior,  and  one 
senior  started. 

Over  spring  break  the  team 
travelled  to  North  Carolina  and 
South  Carolina  to  practice.  "We 
went  into  spring  break  thinking 
we  were  really  good.  The  talent 
w  as  there,"  said  Nicole  Tangeman, 
a  sophomore  catcher.  "We 
expected  to  be  about  fifth  in  the 
MAC. "  she  added.  "After  playing 
some  hard  teams,  we  w  ere  suprised

and  down  on  ourselves." 

Despite  the  problems  that  the 
women  encountered,  the  players 
worked  to  become  leaders  and 
turned  things  around  for  the  team. 
Third  base  player,  senior  Marcia 
Raymondi.  led  the  team  as  captain. 
"Marci  helps  pull  the  morale  up 
for  the  team."  commented  Miner. 
"She  encouraged  all  the  play  ers." 
Miner  added  that  Tangeman  also 
u  orked  especially  hard  at  setting 
a  good  example  for  the  other 
players. 

The  team  finished  last  in  the 
MAC.  "We  just  need  to  put  this 
season  behind  us  and  start  over 
next  year."  said  Tangeman.  -^r

A  second  place  finish  in  the 
James  Madison  Universily  fall 
classic  and  a  third  place  finish  in 
the  Ohio  Classic  topped  the  list  of 
the  golf  team's  accomplishments 
in  their  12-tournament  schedule. 
In  hoth  tournaments,  the  team 
competed  against  at  least  1 3  other 
teams. 

"We  had  a  really  good 
tournament  at  Michigan  State." 
said  Junior  Alex  Ambrose.  "It  was 
three  days  and  54  holes  and 
everybody  pretty  much  played 
good  the  whole  week." 

"Overall  we  had  a  decent  year." 
said  Coach  Bob  Cooley.  "Our 
scoring  average  was  down  from 
last  year,  so  all  in  all  I  think  it  was 
a  fairly  successful  season." 

.After  the   success   in   these 


tournaments,  however,  the  team 
finished  the  season  with  a  sixth 
place  in  the  eight-team 
Mid-American  Conference 
tournament.  Cooley  said  the  MAC 
is  the  team's  most  important 
tournament  all  year  long.  "We 
probably  should  have  been  fourth, 
but  we  ended  up  sixth,"  said 
Cooley.  Kent  State  University  won 
the  three-day  MAC  competition. 

Ambrose  said  the  team  got  their 
hopes  up  too  high  before  the  MAC 
tournament.  "Everybody  got 
thrown  off  the  game  plan."  he 
said,  "And  we  ended  up  sixth  when 
we  should  have  finished  second  or 
third.  I  think  we  set  our  goals  loo 
high." 

Junior  Rusty  Cardwell  agreed. 
"Throughout  the  season  we  were 
improving  at  each  tournament, 
then  the  MAC  tournanieni  rolled 
around  and  v\  e  finished  sixth  aaain. 


We  went  to  the  MAC  thinking  we 
could  win.  but  realistically  it  was 
a  long  shot,  knowing  how  good 
Kent  State  was,"  he  said. 

Senior  Michael  Walker  led  the 
team  both  i  n  the  MAC  tournament 
and  throughout  the  season.  He 
received  all  MAC  selection,  won 
the  MAC  long-drive  contest  and 
earned  ail-American  academic 
honors  for  the  second  consecutive 
year. 

With  Walker  as  the  only  senior 
on  the  team,  the  golfers  will  keep 
the  remaining  base  of  players  that 
contributed  to  the  team's  six  lop- 
ten  finishes  in  their  tournament 
competitions. 

"The  team  atmosphere  is  pretty 
good,"  said  .Ambrose.  "There's  a 
lot  of  comraderie.  I  just  think  our 
team  needs  to  set  some  realistic 
aoals."  ■#-

Some  "just  did  it"  to  become 
active  in  college,  while  others 
warned  to  meet  people.  No  matter 
what  their  reasons  for  joining 
intramurals.  most  students  said 
they  enjoyed  them. 

Freshman  Laura  Klear 
participated  in  intramural 
volleyball  because  she  "wanted  to 
be  active  in  college  sports 
somehow,  even  though  I'm  not 
good  enough  for  the  regular 
teams." 

Klear  said  herteam.  comprised 
of  women  in  her  residence  hall, 
did  not  practice  as  regularly  as 
other  teams.   The   team's   lax 


practice  habits  resulted  in  a  losing 
record,  but  Klear  said  this  did  not 
affect  the  enjoyment  of 
intramurals. 

"We're  not  the  most  athletic 
people,  but  everyone  is  unique 
and  each  person  adds  a  lot  to  the 
team,  both  personality-wise  and 
on  the  court."  Klear  said. 
Occasionally.  Klear  and  her 
teammates'  poor  performance 
suprised  the  opposing  team  so 
much  that  her  team  won. 

William  Sells,  assistant  director 
of  Recreational  Sports,  said  that 
intramural  participants  did  not 
have  the  skill  level  of  those  on 
inter-collegiate  or  club  teams.  "In 
intramurals.  the  emphasis  is  on 


participation,  not  on  u  inning."  he 
said. 

According  to  the  number  of 
people  who  played  on  intramural 
teams,  many  students  played  for 
enjoyment,  not  just  for  winning. 
Klear  played  on  one  of  the  200 
volleyball  teams  during  winter 
quarter  and  on  one  of  the  352 
Softball  teams  in  the  spring.  The 
Recreational  Sports  Department 
also  offered  flag  football  (192 
teams),  and  basketball  (172 
teams  1.  as  well  as  sports  w  ith  fewer 
participants  such  as  horseshoes 
and  table  tennis. 

In  some  intramurals.  such  as 
broomball  and  baseball,  the 
Recreational  Sports  Department 


turned  away  teams  because  it 
lacked  the  faci  lities  to  accomodate 
them  all.  Sells  said  teams 
competed  in  broomball  at  Bird 
Arena  from  9:30  p.m.  to  3  a.m.. 
but  a  shortage  of  referees  limited 
the  number  of  teams. 

Freshman  Jason  Looman  said 
he  enjoyed  the  co-ed  aspect  of 
intramurals.  "It's  a  good  time  to 
have  a  social  event  with  the 
opposite  sex  that  doesn't  in\  oh  e 
alcohol."  he  said. 

Others  liked  the  relaxed  nature 
of  intramurals.  "They're  fun 
because  it's  kind  of  like  abackyard 
atmosphere.  The  officials  are  easier 
to  deal  w  ith  and  it' s  more  relaxed." 
Klear  said.-<^-

From  cricket  to  karate,  juggling 
to  hockey  and  figure  skating  to 
ultimate  frisbee.  OU  students  had 
access  lo  a  collection  ofclub  sports 
that  included  both  the  ordinary 
and  the  obscure.  Director  of 
Recreational  Sports  Dick 
Woolison,  said  the  number  ofclub 
sports  active  throughout  the  year 
totaled  about  22. 

While  club  sports  did  not  attract 
the  same  attention  and  fan 
participation  as  varsity  sports, 
participants  ofclub  teams  showed 
more  discipline  than  their  varsity 
counterparts,  said  Scott  L.  Smith  . 
women's  soccer  coach.  The  fifth- 
year  senior  attributed  this  to  the 
players  contributing  mostly  "on 
their  own"  in  the  way  of  funds. 

In  fact.   Smith  said  money 


accounted  for  the  biggest 
difference  between  varsity  and 
club  sports.  Club  sports  operated 
in  part  by  a  small  amount  of 
university  funding  split  between 
the  various  sports,  as  well  as 
personal  financial  contributions  of 
players.  The  discipline.  Smith 
added,  came  from  "knowing 
you're  spending  your  money." 

Nor  did  participation  in  club 
sports  give  its  players  the  financial 
means  to  stay  in  school.  Smith 
pointed  out.  citing  several  women 
on  his  team  who  turned  down 
scholarships  at  other  schools  and 
chose  OU  for  its  superior 
academics. 

Sophomore  team  member 
Sonya  Pfeiffer  said  she  decided 
not  to  play  varsity  soccer  in  college 
because  it  meant  too  much 
comiTiitment  and  she  wanted  to 
focus  on  her  courses.  For  club 


sports,  the  emphasis  on  winning 
did  not  e.\ist  and  that  after  14 
years  of  competitive  soccer. 
Pfeiffer  said  she  had  become 
"burned  out." 

Pfeiffer  said  a  different  social 
element  existed  in  club  sports 
because  players  often  partied 
together  after  games.  Smith,  who 
was  Pfeiffer' s  coach,  said  that  both 
the  funding  and  social  aspects  of 
such  sports  formed  closely  knit 
teams. 

Freshman  lacrosse  player 
Bryan  Hegyes  described  club 
sports  as  both"less  demanding  and 
much  more  relaxed  than  varsity 
sports.  The  fact  that  the  teams  still 
traveled  to  other  schools 
distingtiished  them  from 
intramural  sports  in  which  teams 
within  the  university  competed 
against  one  another. 

As  for  the  fans,  club  sports  did 


not  have  the  following  of  varsity 
teams.  Smith  said  an  average  of 
50  people  attended  each  of  his 
teain's  games.  He  said  the 
attendance  for  club  sports  in 
general  did  not  compare  to  that  of 
one  club  sport  in  particular, 
hockey. 

Rebecca  Zorich.  a  women's 
rugby  player,  said  the  attendance 
at  her  team's  games  compared  to 
the  soccer  team's.  The  sophomore 
considered  20  spectators  a  good 
amount.  Despite  the  few  rallying 
fans.  Zorich  said  she  enjoyed 
playing  rugby  and  is  glad  she 
"decided  to  give  it  a  whirl."  "I 
love  it."  she  said. 

Pfeiffer  said  club  sports  were 
great  for  athletic  people  interested 
in  playing  sports  for  enjoyment, 
but  who  did  not  want  to  invest  a  lot 
of  time.  Pfeiffer  put  it  simply. 
"Club  is  more  fun."i^

Greek 
Week 
games 
add  spirit 


by  Alison  Shaw 

A  representati\e  from  each 
^ororit\  drew  their  fate  from  a  hat 
in  the  studio  of  Power  105  FM. 
Members  of  sororities  and 
fraternities  across  campus  hstened 
to  the  radio  to  learn  with  v\hom 
they  w  ould  spend  a  week  of  their 
spring  quarter.  This  ritual  paired 
off  1 1  teams  for  the  annual  Greek 
Week  competition. 

Twenty-four  fraternities  and 
sororities  gathered  May  2-8  to 
celebrate  friendship  and  Greek 
unity  through  a  series  of 
competitions  and  philanthropies. 
The  1 1  teams  kicked  off  Greek 
Week  Sunday  with  opening 
games,  which  included  relays  and 
a  pyramid-building  contest. 
Friends  and  Greek  members  not 
competing  m  the  festivities  sat  in 
the  stands  at  Peden  Stadium  to 
cheer,  laugh  and  chant. 

Games  and  related  events 
continued  throughout  the  week. 
Tuesday.  Greek  students  took  a 
break  to  help  \  arious  organizations 
m  the  Athens  area,  such  as  M\ 
Sister's  Place,  Big  Brothers  Big 
Sisters,  and  the  Hickory  Creek 
nursina    home.    Senior    Tim 


Cochran,  the  Greek  Week 
philanthropy  chair,  said  members 
If  om  the  fraternities  and  sororities 
offered  volunteer  services  to  about 
14  places  throughout  the 
community.  "Whatev  erthat  place 
needed,  the  people  w  ould  go  and 
help  them  with."  said  Cochran. 
"They  more  or  less  helped  the 
community  in  all  different  kinds 
of  facets." 

As  participants  volunteered 
around  the  county  and  competed 
in  relays  and  chariot  races,  other 
students  contributed  money  for 
Penny  Wars.  Each  Greek  Week 
team  had  ajar  in  front  of  College 
Book  Store.  50  N.  Court  St..  with 
their  letters  on  it.  The  Greek  Week 
committee  invited  everyone  to 
place  change  into  the  jars  and  the 
team  w  ith  the  most  money  in  their 
jar  won  Penny  Wars.  Greek  Week 
co-chair.  SeniorGreg  Landis.  said 
the  wars  raised  about  S8.000.  twice 
as  much  money  as  last  year's 
competition.  The  proceeds  went 
to  Leukemia  Center  at  the 
Children's  Hospital  in  Columbus 
and  to  the  American  Cancer 
Society  in  .Athens. 

The  first  place  w  inners  of  each 
of  the  week's  competitions,  won 


I  1  points  tow  ard  their  final  Greek 
Week  score.  In  the  past,  only  the 
First,  second  and  third  place  teams 
in  each  e\  ent  received  points.  The 
committee  changed  it  to  1  I  points 
for  first.  1 0  for  second,  all  the  way 
down  to  one  point  for  eleventh. 
"So.  no  matter  what,  you  got  a 
point."  said  Senior  Erin  McCoy. 
Greek  Week  Co-chair. 

McCoy  also  said.  "1  think  the 
rules  were  a  little  less  strict  (than 
last  year).  The  atmosphere  was  a 
little  more  relaxed  and  there 
weren't  teams  that  got  disqualified 
from  events."  She  said  the 
committee  decided  not  to  be  as 
strict  with  the  rules,  in  order  to 
discourage  the  competitive 
atmosphere  and  stress  the  unity  of 
the  week. 

As  the  theme.  "No  matter  w  hat 
the  letter,  we're  all  Greek 
together."  implied,  many  Greek 
members  enjoyed  the  unity  and 
friendships  which  resulted  from 
the  week.  Sophomore  Michael 
Cohen.  Sigma  Alpha  Mu's 
coordinator  of  the  aquatic  games 
said.  "At  first  1  thought  (the

competition,  but  it's  really  not.  It 
IN.  hut  It's  to  show  that  all  the 
Greeks  can  come  together  and 
work  as  a  whole."  The  Sigma 
.■\lpha  Mus  and  their  teammates, 
the  Pi  Beta  Phis  received  first  place 
in  aquatic  games  and  third  place 
o\erall. 

Sophomore  Sydney  Sempsrott. 
a  Delta  Gamma,  said  she  liked 
preparing  and  competing  in  air- 
bands  with  the  Beta  Theta  Pi 
fraternity.  She  got  to  meet  a  lot  of 


people  and  said  she  had  a  great 
time  doing  it.  "We  figured  if  we 
didn't  win  anything,  the  most 
important  part  is  that  we  had  a 
good  time.  .And  if  they  gave  an 
award  out  for  that.  I  bet  we'd  get 
first  place."  said  Sempsrott. 

Although  they  did  not  hand  out 
awards  for  enjoyment,  they  did 
reward  Phi  Mu  sorority  with  the 
spirit  award,  an  honor  they  earned 
afterparticipating  in  the  festivities 


by  themselves.  The  sorority 
originally  paired  off  with  the 
SigmaChis.  but  afterthe  university 
required  the  Sigma  Chis  to 
withdraw,  the  Phi  Mus  decided 
with  a  unanimous  vote  to  compete 
anyway.  Amy  Stonerook.  a 
Sophomore  Phi  Mu.  said  she 
enjoyed  Greek  Week  even  more

"There's  ne\eradullmonieiu." 

This  fraternity  member' s  quote 
epitomized  the  feelings  of  students 
who  preferred  living  in  fraternity 
and  sorority  houses  to  the  dorms 
or  off-eampus. 

More  than  20  fraternities  and 
sororities  provided  housing  for 
their  organizations,  each 
accomodating  its  members  differ- 
ently depending  on  the  size  of  the 
house. 

A  certain  "Animal  House" 
image  attached  itself  to  the  Gre""!; 
dwellings,  especially  fraternities. 
Notions  of  wild  parties,  immature 
guys,  and  animalistic  behaviors 
abounded.  According  to  Greeks, 
the  stereotype  proved  true. ..to  a 
point. 

"My  favorite  thing  about  liv- 
ing in  the  Beta  house  is  that  I'm 
living  w  ith  42  of  my  best  friends 


in  the  world."  said  Chris 
Brounfield.  Sophomore  Beta 
Thcta  Pi  member.  "There's  al- 
ways someone  to  go  out  with.  The 
major  drawback  is  that  every 
weeknight  people  are  coming  in 
from  Uptown  at  2:30  a.m.  It's  a 
tough  place  to  sleep  or  study." 

However,  members  held  dif- 
ferent views  about  their  reasons 
for  living  in  the  house. 

Many  stressed  that  though  their 
Greek  organization  is  an  impor- 
tant aspect  in  their  life,  they  could 
not  imagine  living  in  the  Greek 
house  atmosphere. 

"I  believe  you  can  be  just  as 
active  living  outside  of  the  house." 
a  sorority  member  commented,"! 
don't  believe  it  has  anything  to  do 
with  the  concept  of  unity  and  com- 
mitment to  my  house.  I  just 
wouldn't  feel  comfortable. ..I'm 
too  private  of  a  person." 


But  others  strongly  disagreed, 
saying  one  of  the  most  important 
aspects  of  joining  a  Greek  orga- 
nization is  sharing  house  living 
with  one's  brothers  or  sisters. 

"The  reason  you  join  a  frater- 
nity is  to  be  surrounded  by  your 
brothers.  That's  the  main  point," 
said  Brian  Dugan.  a  senior  mem- 
ber of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon. 

In  addition  to  the  noise  and 
confusion  of  house  living,  resi- 
dents experienced  changes  with 
meals.  Most  houses  adopted  a 
more  family-oriented  style  than 
the  dining  halls  for  its  three  meals 
a  day  during  the  week.  Howe\  er, 
Greeks  usually  fended  for  them- 
selves meal-wise  on  weekends. 

Sophomore  Jorie  Cohn  said 
the  good  food  remained  the  big- 
gest disadvantage  to  living  in  the 
Chi  Omega  house.  "The  food  is 
so  good  and  I'm  always 
eating."-^

Get  a 
rush  out 
of  greek 


EZH0IKAM 


by  Amy  Francisco 

Once  again  chants  and  singing 
filled  College  and  surrounding 
streets  as  the  Women's 
Panhellenic  Association  and  the 
Interfraternity  Council  held  their 
annual  fall  rush  at  the  beginning 
of  the  quarter. 

The  scene  differed  from  past 
years,  with  the  absence  of  outside 
decorations  that  sororities  tradi- 
tionally used.  WPA  also  expanded 
Welcome  Day.  usually  the  first 
day  of  Rush,  to  two  days.  Through 
the  change  they  hoped  to  alleviate 
the  longest  and  most  tiring  day  of 
rush,  house  tours,  and  show  the 
women  five  houses  instead  often 
each  night. 

The  greek  community  wel- 
comed a  new  sorority  and  frater- 
nity to  campus  this  year,  which 
brought  a  total  of  1 1  sororities  and 
15  fraternities. 

Delta  Gamma,  the  new  soror- 
ity, accepted  153  women  during 
an  informal  rush  w  hich  took  place 
after  the  ten  day  formal  rush  said 
new  member  Christi  Johnson,  a 
sophomore. 

"I  chose  Delta  Gamma  because 
1  thought  it  u  ould  be  fun  to  colo- 
nize, plus  there  w  asn't  a  stigma  or 
stereotype  already  associated.  In- 
stead, we  are  building  the  reputa- 


tion." Johnson  said. 

Founding  fathers  of  Sigma 
Alpha  Mu  felt  the  same  son  of 
pride  about  being  involved  in  the 
colonizaton  process. 

"Sigma  Alpha  Mu  was  a  great 
opportunity  for  men  on  campus  to 
become  involved  with  the  frater- 
nity system  at  the  colonization 
level."  said  sophomore  Josh  Gold, 
one  of  the  32  founders  of  the  fra- 
ternity. "Ultimately  w  e're  looking 
for  a  strong  brotherhood  and  key 
elements,  such  as  a  philanthropy 
program  and  social  events  to  form 
a  strong  brotherhood  and  make  us 
the  best  on  campus." 

Many  freshman  said  they 
rushed  to  become  more  in\olved 
and  "to  have  a  place  called  home." 
"1  wanted  to  rush  as  a  freshman. 
1  really  feel  that  I  will  benefit  from 
four  years  of  involvement  and  I'll 
be  able  to  contribute  more  to  my 
house."  said  Kris  Michelson.  new 
member  of  Alpha  Xi  Delta  soror- 
ity. Many  sorority  members 
stressed  how  much  work  and  time 
went  into  putting  a  rush  together. 
"Many  people  just  don't  un- 
derstand the  time  and  energy  we 
put  into  getting  everything  to- 
gether." said  Sophomore  Mary- 
Dunham,  a  member  of  Pi  Beta  Phi 
sorority.  "We  come  back  to  school 
early  and  put  in  long  hours  every 


day.  It's  more  than  just  the  sing- 
ing, and  1  don't  think  people  see 
that." 

The  IFC  fall  rush  ran  a  total  of 
six  days  with  more  than  330  me^ 
participating.  Because  IFC  held 
fomiai  rush  Fall  Quarter  only, 
members  had  a  lot  to  say  about  the 
differences  between  formal  and 
informal  rush  which  took  place 
during  Winter  and  Spring  Quar- 1 
ters. 

"During  fall  rush,  men  have  a| 
chance  to  tour  each  house  and 
confer  with  rush  chairmen  who! 
lead  them  around  to  each  house,"' 
said  Pi  Kappa  Alpha  fraternity 
member.  Jimmy  Aftosmis. 
"Winter  and  Spring  are  much  more 
casual,  men  just  go  through  the 
houses  they  are  interested  in.  Both 
have  advantages.  During  fall  it  is 
a  little  more  structured  but  you 
don't  necessarily  get  a  chance  to 
talk  to  members  for  a  long  period 
of  time.  The  time  it  takes  to  get  to 
each  house  and  then  the  house 
tour  can  take  away  from  that  time,' 
he  said. 

After  all  those  rushing  put  in 
long  hours  and  decided  which  so- 
rority or  fraternity  to  join,  they 
began  enjoying  time  with  new 
sisters  and  brothers  and  prepare 
themselves  to  do  rush  all  over 
acain-from  the  other  side.  -^

Whal  did  a  butler's  auction 
have  to  do  with  anticipating  the 
location  of  a  cow's  future  crap 
pile'?  Both  activities  helped  frater- 
nities earn  money  for  charities  of 
their  choice  in  a  fun  and  creative — 
if  smelly — way. 

Fall  quarter,  the  members  of  Pi 
Kappa  Alpha  fraternity  helped 
prepare  for  the  "cow  plop."  which 
raised  SI. 500  for  Big  Brothers* 
Big  Sisters.  Pike  President  Brad 
McLaughlin  said  the  chapter 
members  divided  a  large  field  into 
an  over-sized  grid.  They  then 
"sold"  squares  of  the  grid  to  stu- 
dents and  members  of  the  com- 
munity. "Then  we  walk  a  cow 
around  the  field  and  wherever  he 
decides  to  go  to  the  bathroom  is 
who  wins  $250."  said  the  senior. 

The  brothers  of  Delta  Tau  Delta 
helda  butler  auction  fall  quarter. 
Certain  Delt  brothers  performed 
butler  duties  for  anyone  who  bid 
the  highest  for  their  services.  The 
proceeds  from  B  id  for  B utier  went 


"Some  people  overlook  the 
fact  that  zve  do  a  lot  for  the 
community. " 


Simon  Boyce, 
Senior  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon 


to  American  Cancer  Society. 

These  philanthropies  only  be- 
gan the  list  of  original  ways  for 
fraternities  and  sororities  to  help 
raise  money  for  local  and  national 
organizations.  Other  popular  ac- 
tivities included  a  weekend-long 
hot-tub  marathon  in  the  dead  of 
Januap,',  a  teeter-totter  marathon, 
a  jump-roping  marathon,  and  a 
crossw  ord  puzzle  marathon.  Other 
Greeks  found  success  in  spon- 
soring eating  contests  at  local  es- 
tablishments such  as  Subway  and 
Buffalo  'Wings  &  Rings,  and 
sporting  contests  like  powder-puff 
football,  golf  tournaments,  and 
tennis  tournaments. 

Most  large  philanthropical 
projects  required  the  help  of  other 
organizations  than  the  sponsoring 


group.  "Any  time  another  organi- 
zation asks  for  our  help,  we  al- 
ways make  sure  to  do  that,"  said 
McLaughlin. 

But  Greeks  did  not  limit  them- 
selves only  to  helping  philanthro- 
pies held  by  other  Greek  organi- 
zations. Chi  Omega  sorority  held 
a  spaghetti  dinner  with  the  rugby 
team,  and  members  from  many 
sororities  and  fraternities  partici- 
pated in  events  like  the  American 
Lung  Association's  Swim  for 
Diabetes. 

Jason  Butina.  a  junior  member 
of  Sigma  Nu.  said  a  successful 
philanthropy  program  had  a  good 
balance  between  donating  money

Junior  Megan  Tarpy,  the  phi- 
lanthropy chairwoinan  for  Chi 
Omega  said,  "We  really  encour- 
age our  members  to  not  only  do 
our  philanthropies,  but  personal 
service  as  well."  She  said  the  so- 
rority provided  opportunities  for 
its  members  to  become  highly  in- 
\ol\ed  in  volunteering. 

Many  chapters  hosted  musical 
guests  in  both  on  and  off-campus 
locations.  Phi  Kappa  Tau  frater- 
nity held  a  day-long  music  benefit 
in  Nelson  Down  Under,  featuring 
raffles  and  free  food. 

Chris  Logsdon.  a  Columbus 
guitarist  played  once  a  quarter  for 
Alpha  Gamma  Delta  sorority. 
Junior  Debbie  Schulte.  the  event's 
chairwoman,  attributed  the  event' s 
success  to  it's  ability  to  draw 
crowds  outside  the  Greek  svstem. 


"You  have  to  get  100  percent 
help  from  everybody,"  said 
Sophomore  Amanda  Montgom- 
ery, the  Alpha  Zeta  Delta  philan- 
thropy chairwoman.  "Get  every- 
one in  the  community  involved 
and  let  everyone  know  what 


you're  doing." 

Montgomery  said  she  enjoyed 
the  comaraderie  involved  in  phi-

everybody  will  go  out  with  their 
letters  on  and  be  happy  and  proud

An  'alternative' 


to  other  boring 
radio  stations 


do 


by  Susan  Cavanaugh 


Jutliing  seemed  particularly  shocking 
about  students  sitting  outside  Baker  Center 
in  shorts — unless  they  beared  their  summer 
season  attire  in  the  middle  of  winter. 

During  January,  the  ACRN  (99.3FM) 
radio  station  held  a  contest  to  win  a  trip  to 
Daytona  Beach  for  spring  break.  As  part  of 
the  publicity.  .\CRN  workers  dressed  in  shorts 
and  other  beach  wear. 

"It  was  a  huge  promotion  and  we  had  a 
grand  old  time,  since  every  one  who  registered 
won  some  sort  of  prize."  said  Promotions 
Director  Kim  Aponte.  a  junior. 

Promotions  became  a  major  way  for  the 
cable-access  radio  station  to  increase  their 
listening  audience. 

Students  had  to  have  their  television  cable 
spliced  into  their  stereo  to  receive  the  radio 
station's  signals — a  ritual  that  stopped  many 
from  tuning  in. 

"If  more  people  listen  to  us,  they  would 
realize  how  neat  we  are  since  our  format  is  so 
popular."  said  General  Manager  Andrew 
Safnauer. 

ACRN  called  its  format  "new  rock." 
consisting  of  a  bit  of  alternative  music,  mixed 
with  a  touch  of  classic  rock  and  popular 
music  that  seemed  to  fit  the  station's  per- 
sonality. 

But  the  station  refrained  from  calling  it- 
self a  "college"  radio  station  since  they  tried 
to  operate  the  business  as  professionally  as 
possible.  Students  ran  every  aspect  of  the 
station,  from  sales  to  spinning  CDs  on  the  air. 

"It  gives  students  a  chance  to  learn  about 
everything  and  it  gives  them  a  really  good 
look  at  what  it  will  be  like  in  the  real  world." 
said  Beth  Clark,  public  relations  director. 

ACRN  also  made  an  effort  to  e,\pand  past 
campus  life  by  getting  involved  in  the  "real 
world"  through  promotions  for  charities.  The 
station  broadcast  live  from  the  Athens  City 
Pool  on  East  State  Street  via  a  mobile  radio 
van,  and  even  auctioned  off  dates  with  its 
DJs.  The  money  earned  from  these  ventures 
went  to  various  organizations  in  the  form  of 
donations. 

"When  we  do  things  for  the  community,  it 
tends  to  get  rid  of  any  negative  sentiments 
(Athens  residents)  have  toward  the  univer- 
sity." Safnauer  said. 

With  community  awareness  and  the  cra- 
ziness  of  sporting  warm-weather  clothes  in 
winter,  Clark  said  ACRN  had  turned  into 
"the  sound  track  to  college  life."  i^-

"Funking"  their 
way  to  success

\\l\  worth  the  pain."  said  Junior  Jen- 
nifer Shult.  flag  action  leader  and  three  year 
member  of  the  Ohio  University  Marching 
110. 

The  pain  she  spoke  of  referred  to  the 
week-long  band  camp  before  school  started 
Sept.  14.  when  250  Marching  1 10  hopefuls 
gathered  near  the  Hocking  and  growled  their 
way  through  six  days  of  intense  marching, 
playing,  and  dancing.  Rookies  quickly  rec- 
ognized the  difference  between  college  and 
high  school  practices  as  they  struggled  to 
learn  one  of  the  most  strenuous  marching 
styles  in  the  nation. 

"It  was  much  harder  than  1  expected."  said 
Freshman  euphonium  player  Pat  O'Connell. 
"I  lost  about  12  pounds  in  four  days." 

After  tryouts  in  marching  and  musical 
auditions.  1 10  people  were  selected  to  make 
the  "block."  which  marched  during  the  pre- 
game  show.  One  hundred  39  members 
marched  during  halftime. 

The  pain  continued  into  the  regular  season, 
with  daily  two-hour  practices  that  required 
absolute  perfection.  Exhausted  band  members 
often  returned  home  with  bruises  from 
practicing  on  the  hard  floor  of  the  Convoca- 
tion Center. 

Unlike  most  students,  Marching  110 
members  did  not  plan  a  day  of  relaxation  for 
Saturdays — it  was  their  day  to  shine.  The 
band  began  practicing  at  9  a.m..  putting  the 
finishing  touches  on  the  day's  show. 

In  addition  to  the  hours  spent  on  the 
practice  field  each  week.  Marching  110 
members  also  spent  days  memorizing  music 
with  their  instrumental  sections.  Since  the 
1  10  performed  a  different  show  for  each 
home  game,  they  often  had  only  one  week  to 
learn,  interpret  and  memorize  the  four 
"charts,"  as  well  as  the  marching  and  dancing 
routines  that  accompanied  them. 

Travels  during  the  fall  season  took  them 
to  Detroit,  where  on  Oct.  4  they  performed 
for  the  Lions  football  game.  A  grueling  tour 
of  Northwest  Ohio  immediately  followed  a 
performance  in  Medina,  Ohio,  during  which 
the  band  electrified  audiences  at  three  dif- 
ferent high  schools  and  Defiance  College. 

So  what  made  the  time,  hard  work,  dedi- 
cation and  pain  worth  it?  The  audience's 
reaction  to  their  routines  renewed  the  spirit 
of  the  members  at  every  performance. 

"1  feel  like  there's  a  lot  of  cheinistry 
between  the  band  and  the  fans,"  said  Shutt.

Making  history  in  D.C 

By  Jennifer  Shutt 

During  Winter  break,  tew  OU  students  thought  about  school.  But  when  rumors  hit  several 
Ohio  television  stations  that  the  Marching  1  10  had  received  an  invitation  to  march  in  the  .'i^nd 
Inaugural  Parade. 

At  a  meeting  the  first  night  of  classes.  Sylvester  Young,  director  of  bands,  finally  let  us  know 
we  would  soon  be  on  a  bus  to  Washington.  D.C. 

The  Marching  1  10  quickly  regrouped  to  get  back  into  shape  to  convince  Young  we  could  do 
the  job  in  D.C.  The  day  before  leaving,  we  put  the  finishing  touches  on  the  show  in  a  grueling 
three-hour  outdoor  practice. 

At  2:30  a.m.  on  Jan.  19,  we  rubbed  the  sleep  out  of  our  eyes  and  boarded  the  buses  that  took 
us  to  the  Inauguration  of  the  42nd  president  of  the  United  States,  Bill  Clinton. 

Our  performance  at  the  Ohio  Democratic  Ball  proved  the  highlight  of  the  day.  We  filed  into 
a  fancy  hotel  to  a  wami  greeting  from  Ohio  natives  cheering,  "Go  Bobcats!" 

Then  came  the  Inaugural  Parade.  All  a  little  tired  and  apprehensive,  we  boarded  the  buses  to 
the  city.  Wailing  on  the  Mall  we  played  all  the  old  favorites  to  keep  our  blood  flowing.  After  five 
hours,  we  finally  got  the  call  to  entertain  the  president. 

We  had  no  idea  Pennsylvania  Avenue  was  so  long !  But  the  spectators"  enthusiastic  responses 
kept  us  marching.  As  we  approached  the  presidential  reviewing  stand,  we  began  to  Funk. 
Someone  saw  Hillary  grab  Bill  by  the  collar  and  spun  him  around  so  he  could  witness  the  "most 
exciting  band  in  the  land." 

As  we  pulled  back  into  Athens  Thursday  morning,  it  dawned  on  us  that  we  had  been  a  part  of 
history.  Despite  our  aching,  tired  bodies,  we  knew  we  had  left  our  mark  imprinted  on  the  people 
of  Washington.

Informing  the 
campus  and  the 
community 

by  Mike  Pound 

3t  the  beginning  of  fall  quarter,  many 
OU  students  noticed  The  Post  appearing  in 
strange  places  at  different  times  of  the 
morning.  But  they  did  not  know  that  this 
accounted  for  only  one  of  the  many  changes 
that  resulted  from  The  Post's  change  of 
printers  at  the  beginning  of  the  year. 

The  Post  took  advantage  of  a  lower  bid  by 
the  Circlex'ille  Herald  to  switch  printers  for 
the  tlrst  time  in  more  than  20  years.  Although 
Post  staffers  and  readers  both  had  to  make 
several  adjustments  with  the  new  printers. 
Post  editor  Ann  Gynn  said  the  arrangement 
has  meant  a  better-looking  paper  for  campus 
readers. 

"The  biggest  problem  w  as  basically  having 
non-Athenians  learn  the  drop-off  routes." 
Gynn  said.  "Now.  our  capability  for  pro- 
ducing color  photos  is  a  lot  better.  Circleviile 
seems  willing  to  work  with  us  to  improve  our 
color." 

Beyond  that  adjustment,  the  The  Post's 
staff  faced  the  challenge  of  covering  the 
1992  presidential  campaign  and  several 
heated  local  elections.  Gynn  said  Hillary 
Rodham  Clinton's  appearance  at  OU  four 
days  before  the  election  provided  one  of  the 
highlights  of  fall  quarter. 

"Hillary's  visit  was  big  news  to  OU.  and 
seeing  everyone  running  up  and  down  Court 
Street  after  Clinton  won  was  great."  she  said. 
"Everyone  was  really  excited  about  the  new- 
president." 

Post  staffers  also  traveled  to  Washington 
when  the  Marching  1  10  performed  in  Presi- 
dent Clinton's  inaugural  parade. 

"Our  coverage  of  the  1  lO's  trip  was  good 
because  we  got  beyond  just  the  announcement 
and  the  parade,  and  we  found  out  everything 
that  w  ent  on  behind  the  scenes."  Gynn  said. 

Although  the  inexperienced  staff  struggled 
through  their  first  assignments,  the  new 
members  adapted  quickly  to  the  demands  of 
juggling  Post  responsibilities  with  the  stresses 
of  college  life. 

"We  had  to  spend  a  lot  of  time  with  the 
young  writers,  teaching  them  how  The  Post 
operates."  Gynn  said.  "But  that's  also  the 
best  part — to  see  someone  green  come  along 
and  produce  great  articles — that's  the  payoff. "^^

Training  students 
to  strive  for 
excellence 


by  Chris  Gigley 

|he  ROTC  program  over  the  years  has 
molded  a  numberofstudents  into  highly  trained 
military  personnel,  and  it  continued  to  pursue 
its  tradition  of  excellence  this  year. 

As  evidence.  OU"s  battalion  received  a 
Bold  Leader  .Achievement  Award  for  Re- 
source and  Cadet  Excellence.  Major Teirence 
Smith,  an  assistant  profes.sor  in  military  sci- 
ence, said  a  superior  perfonnance  in  manag- 
ing the  budget  and  handling  academic  tiles 
v\  on  the  program  the  honor. 

.Along  the  wa\.  the  program's  support  of 
the  community  and  university  persisted.  ROTC 
participated  in  the  homecoming  parade  and 
honored  veterans  in  a  Veteran's  Day  cer- 
emony. The  battalion  also  conducted  its  field 
training  e\erci,se  locally  "to  increase  exper- 
tise in  militarx'  subjects."  Smith  said. 

Smith,  who  has  been  at  OU  for  three  years, 
said  approximately  40  to  45  students  con- 
tracted with  the  military;  about  225  students 
participated  in  the  program  overall. 

While  Smith  said  that  since  his  arrival 
ROTC  has  sustained  its  strength,  the  students 
involved  in  it  reflected  the  real  evidence  of  the 
prograin's  effectiveness. 

Senior  Mark  Cappone  spent  four  years  in 
the  program  and.  as  a  result,  had  a  budding 
career  in  the  militarx  w  aiting  for  him  in  June. 
Because  of  the  valuable  leadership  experi- 
ence and  education  he  gained  through  his 
involvement  in  ROTC.  he  said  joining  the 
program  became  one  of  the  best  decisions  he 
ever  made. 

"Personally.  I  realized  that  real  life  was 
just  around  the  comer."  Cappone  said.  "The 
things  I  learned  this  year  w  ill  be  invaluable  in 
the  the  real  v\  orld." 

Colleen  Adinoltl.  now  a  senior,  also  joined 
the  program  as  a  first  year  student.  "It  was 
something  I  wanted  to  do."  she  said.  "I  didn't 
go       into       it       for       the       money." 

Adinolfi  said  ROTC  has  had  numerous 
benefits  for  her.  She.  like  Cappone.  accepted 
a  commission  into  the  military  in  June  and 
said  the  program  has  fulfilled  its  purpose  for 
her. 

"I  will  go  into  the  army  having  learned 
everything  I  should  have."  she  said.  -^

Students  get 
involved  to 
improve  campus 

by  Amy  Baldyvin 


|hey  met  weekly  on  Thursdays. 
Executives,  commissioners  and  representives 
numbered  approximately  45  and  comprised 
Ohio  University's  Student  Senate. 

Vice-President  Scott  Wagner  described  the 
group  as  diverse.  Wagner,  a  senior  and  second- 
year  Senate  member  said  the  group  aimed  to 
represent  student  diversity  as  much  as  possible, 
but  still  failed  to  fully  represent  minority  and 
international  students. 

Sophomore  Erik  Burmeister.  University 
Financial  Affairs  commissioner,  said.  "Many 
minority  commission  seats  have  been  left  open 
all  year  round."  Senate  needed  to  make  efforts 
to  fill  the  empty  seats  earlier  in  the  year  because 
"OU  "s  diversity  should  be  our  strength,  not  our 
weakness."  he  said. 

Wagner  said  educating,  informing  and 
protecting  the  rights  of  the  student  body 
constituted  one  of  the  Senate's  major 
responsibilities  and  was  included  in  the 
organization's  constitution.  Members  of 
varying  commissions  within  the  Senate  worked 
on  programs  to  achieve  this  goal. 

Burmeister  said  his  commission  reviewed 
the  scholarship  process,  revising  the  forms  to 
make  them  easier  for  students  to  fill  out.  The 
commission  sponsored  a  "Financial  Aid  Week" 
in  February  to  make  financial  aid  more 
accessible  to  students.  He  added  that  Student 
Senate  worked  to  raise  money  for  a  scholarship 
sponsored  by  the  group. 

Senior  Jeremy  Holman.  Environmental 
Aw  areness  Commissioner,  said  his  commission 
sponsored  an  Earth  Week  celebration,  which 
for  the  first  time  extended  the  Earth  Day 
activities.  It  took  place  on  campus  instead  of  its 
usual  site  at  the  Ridges. 

Other  Student  Senate  programs  included 
those  on  Rape  Awareness  and  AIDS 
Awareness,  the  Lesbian/Gay/  Bisexual 
Commission's  co-sponsored  Coming  Out 
Week  and  Visibility  Week.  These  weeks 
attempted  to  increase  education  about  the  gay. 
lesbian  and  bisexual  community. 

However,  Holman  said  some 
commissioners  thought  the  student  body 
viewed  Senate  as  a  joke.  "It  really  involves  a 
large  time  commitment."  he  said. 

Burmeister  said  Student  Senate  could  be 
only  as  effective  as  students  allowed  it  to  be. 
"If  students  get  involved,  we  can  truly  be 
effective. "<►■

Public  radio  tunes 


in  Athens  to  news 
and  entertainment 

by  Amy  Mollis 

Uyews  junkies  spun  their  radio  tuners  to 
WOUB  FM  when  they  wanted  their  daily 
doses  of  National  Public  Radio's  "Morning 
Edition,"  "Afternoon  Edition,"  and  other 
informational  programs  such  as  "All  Things 
Considered."  "The  Nightshift,"  found 
weeknights  on  WOUB-AM.  slaked  the  thirst 
of  alternative/progressive  rock  fans.  WOUB- 
TV  offered  standard  public  television  fare. 
Some  communications  majors  spent  hours  of 
free  time  working  on-air  or  behind  the  scenes 
at  WOUB-TV  and  radio,  which  broadcast 
programs  from  the  Radio  and  Television 
Communications  Building  on  College  Street. 

A  pamphlet  at  WOUB  described  its  format 
as  "bringing  the  world  to  Athens"  and  it 
certainly  did  its  best.  With  news  and  a  variety 
of  music,  from  classical  to  classic  rock,  WOUB 
opened  the  eyes  and  ears  of  everyone  who 
tuned  in.  Connie  Stevens,  AM  programming 
director,  said  "The  AM  station  has  news  and 
information  Sunday  through  Friday.  We  carry 
National  Public  Radio,  ABC,  BBC.  and  a 
variety  of  local  programming.  At  night  we 
have  college  music,  with  oldies  and  'Shades  of 
Color'  on  the  weekends." 

The  stations  welcomed  students  to  audition 
and  volunteer.  According  to  Stevens.  "We're 
a  total  student-run  volunteer  training  program 
(at  the  AM  station).  Students  learn  how  to 
work  in  professional  radio." 

Many  of  those  involved  with  the  stations 
majored  in  communications,  but  Freshman 
Greg  Mocker,  who  worked  at  WOUB-AM  and 
WOUB-T'V,  said.  "Anyone  can  work  there, 
but  the  people  who  are  most  serious  about  it 
are  the  people  whose  careers  are  going  to  be 
centered  on  it." 

Why  would  anyone  want  to  devote  between 
1 0  and  20  hours  per  week  to  on-air  broadcasting, 
working  the  boards,  typing  news  stories  or 
doing  an  assortment  of  other  tasks  necessary 
for  production'?  Freshman  Erik  Laursen,  an 
AM  and  FM  board  operator,  local  host  of 
National  Public  Radio's  "Morning  Edition" 
and  the  "Nightshift"  DJ.  admited  to  sacrificing 
sleep  and  recreational  free  time  for  the  ego 
trip.  "(I  like)  knowing  that  I'm  talking  to 
people,  and  they're  hearing  me.  On  the  other 
hand,  it's  just  like  a  job.  Even  if  you  like  it, 
sometimes  you  don't  want  to  go.  But  you  get 
over  it."-<^-

Rugby.  It's  a  temi  commonly  associated 
with  broken  noses,  striped  jerseys  and  strange 
acti\  ities  such  as  "scrums."  Ail  this  and  more 
could  be  witnessed  on  South  Green  on 
(occasional  Saturdays. 

After  a  three  year  hiatus  from  campus,  the 
Ohio  University  Rugby  Football  Clubretumed 
in  1991.  By  1993.theclubeamedareputation 
as  one  of  the  formidable  powers  of  the  Ohio 
Rugby  Union's  University  Division.  A  second 
slace  finish  al  the  Mid-American  Conference 
roumameni  in  March  established  the  OURFC 

'as  the  only  winning  OU  football  team  the 
class  of  1993  would  ever  see. 

This  year,  the  OURFC  capitalized  on  its 
experienced  players,  many  of  whom  have 
played  since  the  club's  reinstatement  three 
years  ago.    Outstanding  "ruggers"  this  year 

Included  Senior  Captain  Michael  Norman. 

'All-Ohio  at  wing  forward;  President  Jeffrey 
Gresack  combined  with  scrum  captain  Craig 
Zimmerman  and  Vice  President  Paul  Pegher 
to  form  the  "front  row"  and  heart  of  the 
impressive  OU  scrum.  Back  captain  Matt 
Walker  proved  that  pretty  people  can  be 

-punishing.  Wingers  Steve  DiMauro  and  Dan 

IRocco  furthered  the  stereotype  that  all  Italian 
men  are  short,  hairy,  and  fast.  Kurt  "Scruff 


Mers  proved  his  grit  by  rebounding  from  a  | 
knee  injury.   Matt  Hannon.  John  Nauer.  Tad  I 
Dritz,  Rich  Ohms,  and  Greg  Sestili  and  all  the 
other  members  of  the  team  made  many 
important  contributions  on  the  pitch  and  at  the 
parties. 

Rugby,  a  club  sport  at  OU,  welcomed  the 
participation  to  anyone  interested  in  playing. 
no  matter  if  they  were  an  ex-intemational  star, 
like  Juan  Pablo  Donnet,  or  if  they  didn't  even  I 
know  what  a  rugby  ball  looks  like.  ' 

The  club  displayed  its  social  responsibility 
each  year  by  co-sponsoring  a  charity  spaghetti 
dinner  with  the  Chi  Omega  sorority  for  My 
Sister's  Place,  a  shelter  for  battered  women 
and  children.  Members  of  the  club  also  visit 
Athens  High  School  to  speak  to  physical 
education  classes  about  the  game  of  rugby.     . 

The  OURFC  would  like  to  thank  several 
individuals  for  their  contributions  over  the  last 
three  years:  Dr.  Paul  Jepson,  chair  of  chemical 
engineering,  and  Dr.  Ernesto  Randolphi. 
assistant  professor  of  health  and  sport  science, 
for  coaching  and  advising:  Neil  Kongsberg. 
whose  efforts  make  it  possible  for  the  club  to 
return  to  campus;  Myrtle,  for  tirelessly  i 
transporting  the  team  all  across  the  midwest;  | 
and  Neil  Lee  for  kindness.^^-

FACTS  (the  Friendly  Anti-Censorship 
Taskt'orce  tor  Students )  was  active  throughout 
the  entire  year;  educating,  defending,  inspiring, 
and.  at  times,  angering  the  student  body. 

In  fall  quarter.  Tipper  Gore  was  well  on  her 
way  to  becoming  second  lady,  and  the  local 
"progressive"  community  didn't  want  to  hear 
about  the  Parents  Music  Resource  Center 
(PMRC).  or  warning  labels.  This  myopia 
quickly  gave  FACTS  a  bad  name,  but  that 
didn't  stop  us  from  continuing  to  tell  the  truth. 

We  also  helped  Follet's  bookstore  with 
their  Banned  Books  week  display  and  set  up 
an  information  booth  outside  of  the  Uptown 
Minimaul,  Bestof  all.  President  Jim  Tremlett 
and  then-treasurer  Scott  Pfeiffer  drove  to 
Washington,  D.C.,  to  take  part  in  the  first- 
I  ever  protest  outside  of  the  PMRC's 
headquarters  in  Arlington.  Together  with  Rock 
Out  Censorship  and  Rock  &  Rap  Confidential 
we  dropped  off  petitions  carrying  more  than 
.^O.OOO  signatures  to  the  Recording  Industry 


Artists  Association  (RIAAl  demanding  they' 
remove  the  PMRC's  warning  stickers. 

In  winter  quarter,  FACTS  brought  rapper/

the  audience  an  earful  about  censorship,  racism, 
sexism,  and  the  police,  and  gave  us  one  he**  of

The  Ohio  University  Slavic  Culture  Club 
started  in  the  fall  of  1 99 1  by  a  small  group  of 
students  with  a  strong  interest  in  the 
background  and  present  standings  of  the 
Slavic  speaking  countries  in  Eastern  Europe, 
especially  with  the  day-to-day  changes  that 
were  taking  place.  Membership  began  to 
grow  from  not  only  those  in  the  classes  of 
language  and  history,  but  of  many  students 
on  campus  who  had  family  connections  to 
region,  or  those  who  simply  were  curious 
with  the  fall  of  the  Soviet  Union  and  what  it 
would  lead  to  for  those  countries. 

The  club  was  60  members  strong.  It  held 
events  featuring  various  types  of  ethnic  food, 
dancing  and  cultural  activities.  It  also  held 
political,  historical  and  ethnic  lectures  and 
discussions  with  profes.sors  on  campus,  as 
well  as  visiting  students  and  faculty. 

At  the  International  Street  Fair,  The  Slavic 
Culture  Club  participated  with  an 
informational  display  booth.  Several 
members  of  our  club  perfomied  traditional 
regional  dances  for  the  crowd.  As  a  result, 
our  club  won  first  prize  for  its  participation 
and  display  -  a  proud  standing  for  its  first 
year!  -^t-

The  Ohio  University  Student  Alumni 
Board  ( SAB )  was  the  student  component 
of  the  Ohio  University  Alumni  Association. 
SAB  existed  since  1978  when  it  was 
established  by  five  organization 
communication  students.  The  executive 
director  of  Alumni  Relations  served  as  the 
adviser.  During  the  1 992-93  academic  year, 
the  board  worked  under  the  superx  ision  of 
Richard  Polen.  executive  director. 

S.AB  had  a  membership  of 
approximately  60  students  who  worked 
together  to  carry  out  a  wide  variety  of 
programs  benefiting  the  campus  and  the 
surrounding  community.  Through  the 
years,  this  drive  for  e.xcellence  in 
programming  enabled  SAB  to  build  and 
maintain  a  highly  regarded  reputation.  The 
Student  Alumni  Board  was  considered 
one  of  the  most  respected  groups  on  campus 
because  of  the  quality  individuals  who 
were  part  of  its  tradition 

SAB  helped  the  Ohio  University 
.Alumni  Association  outside  of  committees 
as  well.  The  Golden  Bobcat  50th  Reunion 
took  place  in  May.  SAB  assisted  by  driving 
the  alumni  around  campus,  giving  tours  of 


I 


the  campus,  and  helping  with  registration 
at  the  reunion.  During  the  summer  the 
Ohio  University  .Alumni  Association  hosted 
.Alumni  College.  The  program  was  a  "mini- 
college"  and  vacation  for  alumni  and  their 
families.  Adults  took  classes  in  golf,  wine 
tasting,  and  massage.  There  was  an  adult 
college,  a  teenage  college,  and  a  kid  college. 
SAB  members  assisted  b\  making  sure  the 
adults  could  rela.\.  the  children  were  happy, 
and  the  teenagers  enjoying  themselves. 
The  National  Alumni  Board  met  twice 
during  the  year.  SAB  participated  during

The  Athena  Yearbook 's  I  ( 1 1  st  year  was 
charaeterizetl  by  new  beginnings  and  new 
leadership.  The  fairly  new.  but  multi- 
talented  statTot' approximately  .^0  students 
took  the  "■Reflections'"  iheme  and  a  lot  of 
financial  problems  and  turned  it  into  a 
profit-producing  and  contemporary  book 
that  reflected  the  atmosphere  of  the 
university. 

Though  many  students  didn't  know  a 
yearbook  existed,  and  even  more  thought  it 
was  called  the  Spectrum  Green  (the 
Athena's  title  during  the  "COs  and  '70s), 
students  began  to  take  notice  of  the 
maga/ine-style  independent  annual.  More 
than  900  seniors,  a  record  for  recent  years. 
had  their  portraits  taken  for  the  Athena's 
senior  section.  Book  and  advertisement 
sales  were  steady  throughout  the  year. 

Of  course  the  Athena  documented 
important  historical  events  that  occurred. 
like  Hillary  Rodham  Clinton's  visit  four 
days  prior  to  her  husband's  presidential 


victory. 

The  publication  also  made  an  effort  to 
coverevents  and  organizations  that  weren't 
traditionally  featured,  but  were  important 
to  students  and  campus  life.  Spreads  on 
AIDS  Awareness  Week.  Take  Back  the 
Night  Week.  Kwanzaa  and  international 
student  activities  reflected  the  diversity  and 
excitement  of  the  campus  and  the  year. 

The  Athena  also  made  available  the 
opportunity  for  student  organizations  to 
""design"  their  own  coverage  for  the 
organization  section  by  providing  theirown 
copy  and  pictures.  As  a  result,  organizations 
traditionally  not  covered  in  the  ."Xthena  were 
given  prominence  and  visibility. 

With  a  new  look  and  a  new  attitude,  the 
Athena  staff  worked  hard  throughout  the 
year  to  provide  students  and  parents  with  a 
good-looking  and  entertaining  book  that 
will  keep  memories  of  the  year  alive  for 
decades  to  come,  t^-

Seniors  made  a  lot  of  mistakes  in 
tlieir  coiiege  career  and  some  of  ttie 
most  obvious  stayed  witli  ttiem 
forever  Ttie  worst  blunders  were: 

Falling  down  on  College  Green 72% 

Entire  Freshman  Year 12% 

Walking  into  the  Wrong  Class 1 6% 

•  When  I  tried  to  get  into  a  bar  using  a  fake  I.D.  but  I  still  had  on  a 
name  tag  from  a  party  (with  my  real  name  on  it).  The  bouncer 
turned  me  down  and  never  let  me  in  the  bar  again. 

•  Walking  home  the  next  day. 

•  Being  drug  home  from  uptown  while  singing  "Stanley  Cup  is 
coming  to  town!" 

•  When  Brother  Jed  called  me  a  queer. 


208 -SENIORS 


•  Losing  my  pants  at  the  Cat's  Eye. 

•  Freshman  year,  walking  into  a  parl<ing  meter  in  front  of  Baker 
Center  because  I  was  staring  at  a  guy. 

•  Throwing  up  on  someone's  dog. 

Seniors  gradutate  and  move  on, 
but  will  they  ever  look  back? 
These  were  the  memories  that 
made  Ohio  University  —  OU. 

•  the  big  tree  behind  Ellis  Hall 
•Jeff  Hill 

•  the  walk  from  Lakeview  to  Irvine 

•  College  Green  in  the  fall 

•  Uptown 

•  Halloween 

•  the  Court  Street  Shuffle

Editor's  Note 


Along  with  the  rest  of  America,  the 
1993  Athena  Yearbook  underwent  budget 
cuts  and  change.  Reorganization  and  re- 
structuring of  the  book  and  its  production 
process  kept  the  entire  staff  busy 
throughout  the  year. 

Beyond  the  book  itself,  an  entirely  new 
marketing  and  advertising  campaign  went 
into  effect,  targeting  both  the  student 
population  and  their  parents.  The  result:  an 
outstanding  turnout  for  the  senior  portraits, 
a  quick  response  from  parents  to  order  the 
1993  edition,  and  a  high-quality  university 
yearbook. 

The  Athena  is  looking  ahead,  hoping  to 
inform  the  population  that  there  is  a 
yearbook  that  targets  the  students  of  Ohio 
University.  By  becoming  an  outlet  for  maga- 
zine, photography,  graphic  design  majors 
and  anyone  with  a  creative  vein,  the 
yearbook  uniquely  documents  the  events  of 
the  year.  The  Athena  has  served  Ohio 
University  for  over  100  years,  and  with  the 
hard  work  and  dedication  put  in  by  this 
year's  terrific  staff,  it  looks  like  the  Athena 
will  go  on  for  another  century.
