Their numbers, alas, are smaller every yean
But the term "living legend" still applies to
a few people who played starring roles in
making lUP what it is today.
' his issue of lUP Magazine is
privileged to pay tribute to two
of them. One, Trevor Hadley, |£
whom I happen to have known '^
since my childhood, is the sub-
ject of lUP in My Life. The
other is Nancy Newkerk, who
I recently committed the almost
unbelievable act of retiring from the university.
This is not the first time she has done some-
thing like this. Nancy resigned from the univer-
sity in 1967, after ten years as dean of women. (I j
once wrote a story in which I mistakenly called
her the assistant dean of women. Trouble was, I
could not imagine anyone as young as she looked — and
was — being in the senior position.) But in 1978, she
returned for her "second career" at lUP as associate
dean of admissions.
Having two careers meant Nancy was part of lUP
during five decades, which encompassed a lot of history
and a lot of students. In recent years, she worked as
closely with prospective students and graduate students
as she had with undergraduates during her dean of
women days. As a result, those she counts as friends
from these experiences today range in age from the late
teens to the soon-to-be sixties.
And how we all have loved her. When Frank Sinatra
sang about "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)," he could
have meant our Nancy. After all, "She takes the winter
and makes it summer, but summer could take some
lessons from her... No angel could replace Nancy with
the laughing face."
We'll miss you like crazy, Nancy. lUP is ready for
your third career.

The New
American Girl
by John Englert and Regan Houser
With the nom de plume Nelhe Bly, EHzabeth Jane Cochran
stomped all over the notion that women's place was at home
and became the nation's leading journalist, peifomiing stunts
that men would never dare to attempt.
\cllie Bly went
places most iiiiie-
teentli-ceiiluiy
Americans had
never been. Bnl
where she started
was right here.
Bom on May 5. 1S64, in Cochran's Mills. Pa., a
tiny town in Armstrong County, she was raised
with a household full of brothers who constantly
tested her. The family eventually moved from
the country to the river town of Apollo. Her father, a
judge, died when she was just six years old.
Indiana State Normal School was barely four years
old when Cochrane (she added the "e" for flair) enrolled
in September. 1879. and lived on the fourth floor of
John Sutton Hall. She was a scholar without a .scholar-
ship, without much of an opportunity to work her way
through school in nineteenth-century America. And. her
family lacked the wherewithal to support her in her
quest for an education. Thus, her formal education
ended abruptly, as did her plans to teach, when she
dropped out just before Christmas that same year. She
was only fifteen. One can only imagine what greater
heights this woman might have reached had she been
able to complete her studies. The courses that she was
able to pursue at Indiana, however, no doubt aided her
immensely in becoming a highly successful journalist.
The family moved to Oakland (near Pittsburgh) and
then to Old Allegheny City. She and the family strug-
gled, working at whatever job came along, and it was
not until .January. 1883. that she found employment as a
reporter. Responding to an article in the Pittsburg Dis-
patch called "What Girls Are Good For," Cochrane, just
twenty years old. made her way into the editor's office
with a challenge. If she could write a good article about
divorce — a subject discussed only in hushed tones — she
would have a job. She pleased the editor and was hired
for five dollars a week.
Choosing the pen name Nellie Bly. after Stephen Fos-
ter's ditt> . the young reporter conquered such controver-
sial topics as unemployment, the plight of women and
children, and the plight of the female working poor. She
was a reporter, but she was also a crusader. After tromp-
ing through Pittsburgh, unescorted, no less, peering in
the darkest and dingiest of places for stories, she ached
for a bigger assignment.
She begged her editor to allow her to travel to Mexico
to report on the shaky political scene. Reluctantly, he
agreed. A passage from The Amazing Nellie Bly offers
an apt description of her activity: "She went to many
out-of-the-way places never before visited by foreign-
ers. She stayed in small villages, each with its own
army, and saw the soldiers — half-breeds. Indians, and old
con\ icts — smoking marijuana cigarettes. She reported this
too to Pittsburg."
Several months into her trip, after going a little too
far in what she reported about government activities,
she received an anonymous warning and headed home.
However, she smuggled a suitcase full of notes, so the
stories she published after her return about peons, pris-
ons, and corruption made her a more respected and pop-
ular reporter.
4 Ifi P M \ G \ Z I N E
Still, she wanted more, telling her newspaper friend
Frasmus Wilson she wanted to "crash a New York
newspaper, tall ni lo\e. niarr\ a millionaire, and reform
the world." She eertamls had hii:h hopes, and she real-
ized most of them.
BIy gained a job at the New York WtirUI and the
respect of its publisher. Joseph Pulitzer, by pulling
another siuni. She feigned insanity and had herself com-
mitted to an asylum. After ten days, the WorUI arranged
for her discharge and then ran her articles about the hor-
rors of asylum living.
In her most famous feat, she set off on a trip around
Ihe world in November, I8S9. Her goal was to make the
trip in seventy-nine days and beat the fictional character
Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne's Around the World in
Eighty Days. The World covered her trip as best it could
by telegram and kept Ihe readers' interest by publishing
a game and plenty of speculation on her activities.
She made the trip in record speed in seventy-two
days. "At 3:51 on that winter's afternoon, January 25.
1890. a slim, smiling, suntanned girl stepped off a grimy
railroad car in Jersey City. New Jersey, waved her
ghillie cap. and the impatient mob went wild at the
sight." stated a Washington Post article written in 1977.

Bly took the Worht's readers on all kinds ol adven-
tures, from an interview with BulTalo Bill to providing a
firsthand account of life as a chorus girl. She had
accomplished everything she told Erasmus Wilson she
would, except marry a millionaire (her followers always
speculated on the falling-in-love part, because she had
had so many admirers and opportunities).
In 1893. traveling home on a train from Nebraska

harsh winters and starting a relief effort for farmers, she
met Robert Seaman, a seventy-two-year-old millionaire.

kept her in Austria until 1919. She joined the staff of the
New York Evening Journal as a correspondent to sup-
plement her income, producing a column that provided
an avenue to finding homes for abandoned children.
Bly died of pneumonia in New York City on January
27. 1922. at the age of fifty-seven. Almost penniless,
she was buried in an unmarked grave in the Bronx. In
her obituary, the New York Evening Journal said. "She
was considered to be the best reporter in America." In
1978, the New York Press Club placed a monument
near her grave as a tribute and honor to "one of the first
respected female reporters in this country." And. on
September 28. 1972. Nellie Bly. pseudonym of Eliza-
beth Jane Cochran Seaman, was elected by the members
of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Association
as a charter member of the Pennsylvania Newspaper
Hall of Fame. "^

bly bring a family into this world?"
These questions continued to haunt one young gradu-
ate as he boarded the train to Indiana. Pa. In 19.^3. when
S. Trevor Hadley walked onto the Indiana State Teachers
College campus and plunked down his precious $18
semester contingent fee [tuition], he certainly had no
way of knowing how many years he would devote to the
institution. Who would have imagined that the young
man riding the B&O "Hoodlebug" from Puaxsutawney
would have such a tremendous impact on the future of
w hat was then Indiana State Teachers College?
Hadley's first position after college was teaching at
Hampton High School, north of Pittsburgh. It was there
that he met his future wife, Olive, and taught until he
jomed the Air Force to serve in World War II as a psy-
chological research assistant. Not long after his return to
Hampton High to serve as principal. Joseph Uhler. pres-
ident of ISTC. offered him the first of many positions he
would hold at the university.
"I wore many hats at ISTC," Hadley recalled with a
fond smile. "I taught psychology, became director of the
Psychology Clinic, served as the first dean of students in
1952, then served as the vice president of Student Affairs.
The same job, just different titles."
Hadley remembers a college much different from
today's university. "When I started at ISTC. there were
approximately nine hundred students. Twelve of those
students were men. It was a time when the G.I.s were
returning from the war, so the enrollment started to bal-
ance very quickly."
It also was a time of very strict mies. The women were
required to wear gloves and hats. Cuifew was at 10 p.m.,
but all women had to be in their rooms by 7 p.m. No one
could smoke on the main walk in front of Sutton Hall.
"One of my fondest memories of the institution," said
Hadley, "is the tremendous impact Dr. Guy Pratt Davis
had on me. He was an outstanding professor! But then,
the whole college staff was made up of extremely capa-
ble people — and most were making $5,000 a year."
"The one most important factor about lUP that stands
out from my early years and remains true today is that
one can obtain a solid, respectable education here. My
best advice to students is that they must apply them-
selves. You have to want to get an education to benefit
from the offerings at lUP."
Throughout his career, Hadley placed a priority on
advancing educational opportunities. In 1962, he served
as an educational consultant to the Department of Public
Instruction in the West .M'rican nation of Liberia.
"My summer in .Africa was a most fascinating experi-
ence. 1 participated in a Ford Foundation project which
attempted to improve the public schools in Liberia. Our
job was to instruct the teachers there. I had fifty individ-
uals in my workshop.
"Although many people would think of this as a ful-
filling project, 1 left the country feeling as though it was
a hopeless process. The schools operated without paper,
without pencils. Tliey would use sticks to write in the dirt.
I was there during the rain>- season, and I would see peo-
ple walk for miles in the pouring rain to come to school.
We take a great deal for granted in the United States."
Although he retired in 1978 after thirty-one years of
service. Hadley remains very involved with the univer-
8 IIP M A G .\ Z I N E

and mentor Guy Pratt Davis in

sily. He served as president of the lUP Alumni Associa-
tion and most recently was the alumni chairperson for
the Campaign for Indiana University of Pennsylvania
and a member of the search committee to choose a new
vice president for Student Affairs.
"I like to be of assistance to the university, wherever
am needed." Hadley said. ""After so many years you
gain a natural allegiance. The university and community
have treated me well, and there are so many good peo-
ple to work with."
In addition to his work with the university, Hadley is
especially proud of the family that he and Olive raised
in Indiana and of the educational values they instilled. Of
their five children, the three oldest sons graduated from
lUP: Olive Hadley earned her master's degree at lUP in
1967. Trevor "68. William "70. and Thomas '74 each
have doctoral degrees and are follow ing in their father's
footsteps in higher education. A fourth son. Charles, is a
practicing lawyer, and the Hadleys" only daughter,
Elaine, earned her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University.
It is hard to imagine that Hadley has time for lUP in
his life, as retirement has meant anything but rest and
relaxation. During his numerous overseas travels,
Hadley has taught at the University of Salzburg in Aus-
tria and led tour groups to Europe.
He also continues to write the Retired Faculty Spot-
light segment of lUP Mai^azme as well as articles for
various publications. His most recent literary accom-
plishment is the publication of his first book, Otily in
Pittshiiri^h. a historical account of people and places.
.Available in the Pittsburgh and Indiana areas, the book
is published by Educational Publishing Resources of
Cincinnati.

for such student programs as residence hall manage-
ment and programming, financial aid and student
employment, admissions, career .services, and counsel-
ing and clinical services.
He became actively involved with Student Govern-
ment, the Student Cooperative Association, and the Stu-
dent Union. Hadley essentially guided the development
of the Student Affairs area to what it is today. ""I trea-
sure the students more than anything," he said. ""The
greatest honor for me was the naming of the S. Trevor

But perhaps the greatest honor has been the univer-

parents, employees, corporations,

fiscal year's gift income more
than tripled w hat was raised in
the preceding fiscal year. The
university received a total of
20.140 gifts and pledges: 478 of
those were for a S 1 .000 or more.
In addition, the campaign has
reached SI 3.622.04 1 in commit-
ments toward its $20-million

December 31. 199.^.
Of notable significance is the
alumni participation rate of fort\ -
three percent, which is more than
double the national a\ erage rate
of participation, according to the
Council for Aid to Education.
The Phone/Mail program,
staffed by student callers,
solicited alumni, parents, and
members of the university faniiU
and raised $2,560,405 through
15,794 pledges, a figure well
above the $2.3 million goal.
Over a nine-month period, two
students obtained pledges of
$100,000 each.
Two landmark commitments —
$3.26 million from Robert Cook
'64 and $2 million from the
Eberly Family Trust — helped to
complete the year's success.
"Anytime you take on a pro-
ject of this magnitude, there is
considerable skepticism." said
Larry Panaia. president of the
Foundation for lUP Board of
Directors. "Wlien you have the
success we've experienced, it
must be attributed to the hard
work and organizational abilities
of all involved."

Homecoming paradegocrs
caught a glimpse of the new
Eberly College of Business
building in the fomi of a float.
The float, created to commemo-
rate the groundbreaking for the
new facility, sported a building's
prototype.
The groundbreaking took place
the morning of Homecoming
Saturday at the construction site
near Miller Stadium. State, local,
and university officials and friends
attended the event.
The building is scheduled for
completion in the tall of 1995.
Safety in
Numbers
A nationally distributed book
has ranked Indiana as one
of the safest college towns
in the nation.
Crime at College: The Student
Guide to Personal Safety rates
each town based on serious
crimes reported to the FBI by
each town. Indiana was ranked
fifth-safest in the nation and first
in Pennsylvania. The book's
authors, Curtis Ostrander and
Joseph Schwartz, wrote the guide
for prospective students and their
parents and, as a local newspaper
reported, "Students live, work,
and shop off campus. It is neces-
sary to know about the commu-
nity surrounding a school."
While the perimeter around
campus is safe, strides are con-
tinually made to keep the lUP
campus itself a secure place to
live and study. Campus Police
has offered an escort service for
students for several years, and
crime-prevention literature is
annually printed and distributed
to students. Emergency tele-
phones have been installed in the
last few years, and a campus
crime watch internship program
has been established. lUP's latest
initiative is the mounted bicycle
patrol program.
After rigorous physical train-
ing, the officers ride twenty-six-
speed Cannondale Police Edition
bikes. One bicycle officer patrols
the campus on each shift.
According to William Mont-
gomery, director of campus secu-
rity, the bike patrol not only
makes the officers more accessi-
ble to students and other people
on campus, it also allows officers
more access to areas on campus
that cannot be reached by car.

It is wilh great pleasure we
announce in tliis issue t>{ IVP
Magazine that the university has
celebrated a banner year in fund-
raising. Our success is due largely
to the readers of the magazine —
families of students, alumni, and
friends. The funds raised « ill allow
lUP to accomplish a number of
goals that would not have been
possible with state appropriations
alone.
Had we not received
$5.7 million in gift income this
year, we would not be able to equip
the new Eberly College of Business
building properly. Nor would we
have been able to establish the
Robert K. Cook Honors College.
Without the participation of
alumni, parents, and friends, there
would be fewer scholarships for
undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents, and the library would be
limited in acquiring materials that
assist students in key subject areas.
Without such unprecedented
support, advanced technology
would by-pass RIP. Now, we have
started work on the fiberoptic net-
work that will link the university
community to the global commu-
nity, and v\e can ensure current
and future students will have
greater access to both computer
facilities and a rich array of infor-
mation systems.
Alumni, in particular, should be
proud of this achievement. Forty-
three percent of II P"s alumni have
pledged their support, retlecting a
figure well beyond the national
average for public universities.
While raising these funds today en-
sures a future full of promise for
alumni of tomorrow, it also enables
us to strengthen lUP's reputation
to the benefit of those who already
have earned their degrees. Your
intellectual capital increases as
IL'P's reputation is enhanced. On
behalf of the entire lUP family, I
thank you for your confidence in
your university.

Bright Future
Programs from art to anthro-
pology to jazz orchestra to
history of the Holocaust
will draw talented high school
students to lUP next summer,
increasing their interest in the
university and in the Robert E.
Cook Honors College.
The 199.') Summer Honors
Program, w ith thirty ditTerent
workshops planned in two ses-
sions (July 23-29 and July 30-
Augu.st 5), is expected to bring
eight hundred talented students
lo^IUP.
"The summer program is an
excellent opportunity to develop
relationships with academically
talented high school students and
to expose them to what lUP can
offer." said Janet Goebel. direc-
tor of the Cook Honors College.
■■Recruitment is our biggest
challenge."
In addition to work on cam-
pus, the program's students will
take field trips to area sites to
link fomial study with real-life
experiences.
Students may choose to partic-
ipate in one or two sessions and
will live in Esch Hall (future site
of the Honors College residence).
Cunent ILIP students will serve
as student assistants in the resi-
dence halls, and evening pro-
grams will be offered. Each
week-long session ends with
Saturday receptions for students
and their parents.
Funding for the Summer Hon-
ors Program is very limited. In an
effort to keep the workshops
affordable to all. Goebel is look-
ing for financial support in the
fomi of full or partial scholarships
($225 per student, per session),
which can be earmarked for spe-
cific disciplines or programs.
She is also counting on alumni
to identify qualified high school
students in their home areas. "Cur-
rent students and our graduates
are certainly our best recruiters."
Goebel said.
Although the Summer Honors
Program begins in 1995. the first
class of students for the Cook
Honors College will be admitted
in September. 1996, with full
implementation of the college
scheduled for completion in the
1998-99 academic year. Planning
for the college is based on a total
four-year enrollment of three
hundred to four hundred students.
More information about the
Cook Honors College may be
obtained by writing to Dr. Janet
Goebel. 21 5C Leonard Hall. lUP,

A Dream Blooms in Buffalo
bv Bob Fulton
Bill Ford has been a key member of three Buffalo Bills
championship teams, yet he's never thrown a pass or a
block or tackled an opponent.

Buffalo Bills is not

the Bills' uounds
but to pre\ent

first place.
act is. he spends most games on the
sidelines. But just like All-Pros Jim
Kelly. Thumian Thomas, and Dairyl
Talley. Ford has made critical con-
tributions to Buffalo's soaring suc-
cess in the '90s. How? By helping to
keep those players and their team-
mates healthy.
The 1979 lUP grad. now in his fourth season as an
assistant trainer with the Bills, is proof that dreams do
come true. A position with an NFL team had been a
goal since his college days.
"A lot of people who knew me back then have men-
tioned to me that that's what I'd always wanted to do."
said Ford, thirty-seven. "But it's one of those things you
say not knowing what it involves."
Ford's NFL dream took shape at lUP. where he en-
rolled as a health and physical education major follow-
Hig graduation from McKeesport High School. He
became interested in training through his friendship
with fellow student Randy Kegerreis. now a physical
therapist in Indianapolis.
"He was probably the one that piqued my interest."
said Ford. "I always wondered what he did after classes
were over for the day. He was always talking about
going down to the training room to work. I said. "How
do you get involved with that'?' "
Kegerreis suggested he speak with head trainer Vic
Liscinsky. That led to a position with lUP's training staff
and Ford's first halting steps toward an NFL career.

"Things didn't Tail Into place immediately, but there
were enough things there that had me interested that I
wanted to learn more," he said. "So I stuck with it."
r-(ird worked with a number of outstanding athletes
during his three years as a student tramer, most notably
,llni Haslett. an All-America linebacker on the football
team. Haslett would join the Bills in 107'). in effect blaz-
ing a trail for Ford to follow .
"When I first came up here for m\ niter\iew. lhe\
asked me if I knew him." he said.
Following graduation from lUP. Ford earned a mas-
ter's degree at Eastern Illinois, worked as a trainer at
Glenville State (W.Va.). West Virginia, and Penn State,
spent two summers as a training aide with the Detroit
Lions, and served as an assistant trainer at the LInited

States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
When a position in Buffalo opened up in 1991. Ford
pounced on the opportunity. The Bills, fresh off their
first Super Bowl appearance, were obviously a franchise
on the rise. Ford wanted to play a part in Buffalo's
promising future.
"That was the motivation, actually, to make the move."
he said. "I really loved Colorado. It was a tough deci-
sion to make. But when you saw the potential that the
team had — I mean, they had the potential to make it to
the Super Bowl again. So that weighed pretty heavily in
iny decision to leave."
The Bills have added three more AFC titles since
Ford arrived. Alas, their unprecedented feat of capturing
four consecutive conference championships has been
overshadowed by an 0-4 record in the Super Bowl. Ford,
nevertheless, has thrilled in the experience.
"It's the ultimate as far as .sporting activities." he said.
"You feel elation, since only two of twenty-eight teams
make it that far. It's like the culmination of everyone
working hard all through the year."
And make no mistake, trainers do work hard. Their
responsibilities are as numerous as Liz Taylor's wedding
photos. The casual fan might notice a trainer tending to
an injured player on the field or along the sidelines dur-
ing a game, but the three hours every Sunday between
kickoff and final gun are analogous to the tip of an ice-
berg, constituting but a fraction of the whole.
"The biggest thing that gets overlooked in our job is
prevention," said Ford. "That can go into a wide spec-
trum of areas."
Such as ensuring the players adhere to a nutritious
diet and drink plenty of fluids, an especially important
factor during training camp when temperatures heat up
like Bobby Knight's temper. Trainers also monitor play-
ers" rehab progress, provide treatments, and tape ankles
before workouts and games. The Bills go through about
seven hundred cases of tape a season.
Ford will typically wrap twelve to fifteen players
before games, exchanging quips or gossip all the while.
He likens his role to that of a garrulous barber.
"I look at how our training room is set up. and it's al-
most like a barber shop — a good old neighborhood bar-
ber shop, where you have regulars who come through
whether they need a haircut or not." Ford said. "There's
always a lot of bantering going on. a lot of talking, a lot
of joke telling. That's pretty much what your training
room ends up being. When your taping session is going
on, everybody's coming in. waiting in line, waiting to
get taped, and the trainers are talking while we're doing
the work. We're the barbers."
A similar scene is probably played out in the training
rooms of all twenty-eight NFL teams. But what sets
Buffalo apart from most of the league's franchises is the
weather, which is notoriously nasty late in the season.
Come playoff time, polar conditions can prevail. When
the Los Angeles Raiders visited last January 15 in an
AFC semifinal showdown, the wind-chill reading at
Rich Stadium plunged to 32 degrees below zero. Such
arctic assaults give the Bills' training staff something
else to worry about.
"The biggest thing we've been trying to impress upon
the players is the type of things they layer with." Ford
explained. "Obviously, you can only layer so much
when you have to be functional. The biggest thing is to
layer properly. We use a lot of polypropylene next to
the skin and go from there. Which, for some guys,
seems to be enough. But if you're just standing around,
it's not good enough."
Even on a summer afternoon, basking in sunshine on
the porch of his Blasdell. N.Y., home. Ford shuddered at
the thought of Buffalo's legendary cold. He knows first-
hand that Rich Stadium can take on the feel of an out-
door meat locker during the playoffs, when bitter gusts
swoop in off nearby Lake Erie and snow falls in stag-
gering amounts.
Not that Ford minds. He has a wami spot in his heart
for Buffalo, for it's the place where a dream that took
root at lUP came to full bloom. "^

High Hopes
by Bob Fulton
If Kurt Kanaskie, like
some modern-day al-
chemist, could transform
optimism into gold, Brink's
trucks would be loading
around the clock at Memo-
rial Field House these days.
It's not so much that
Kanaskie's lUP basketball
team is coming off the vvin-
ningest season in school
history that has fans
buzzing in anticipation. It's
that eight of the top nine
players return from that
record-setting 27-3 squad,
fueling hopes for another
trip to the NCAA Division
II tournament and perhaps
even a run at the national
championship.
Why, if there were truly
wealth in optimism, lUP's
riches would rival Donald
Trump's.
"We're excited about the
team we have back," said
Kanaskie, who can capture
his hundredth victory as
coach of the Indians w hen
lUP opens its schedule
November 19 against Shep-
herd College (W.Va.). "We
have everyone back from
the team that ended the
season."
Only point guard Phil
Crump, who missed most
of the postseason with a
broken foot, was lost to
graduation. Otherwise, the
cast that carried lUP to the
NCAA's Elite Eight last
March returns intact.
Kanaskie welcomes back
all five of the players who
started in the season finale,
a quarterfinal loss to even-
tual national champion Cal
State Bakersfield: 6-4
junior forward Derrick
Freeman, last year's team
leader in scoring (I6.6t,
rebounds (7.7), blocked
shots (31 1, and steals (64),
despite an achy knee that
limited his effectiveness and
required offseason surgery;
6-5 senior guard-forward
Yancey Taylor, who led lUP
in assists (5.0), finished sec-
ond in scoring (16.5), and
earned Pennsylvania Con-
ference Western Division
Player of the Year honors;
6-6 junior center Robert
Misenko, who scored at a
12.5 clip; 6-3 junior guard
Jason Bullock (11.4 points
per game), who led the Indi-
ans in three-point field
goals (79); and senior guard
Russell Kelley (5.5), who
stepped in at the point after
Crump was sidelined.
With senior guards Troy
Jackson and Ben Williams
and junior forward Josh
Shoop returning — not to
mention sophomore guard
Terry O'Shea, who sat out
last year with back prob-
lems— it's easy to see why
even confirmed pessimists
are upbeat about lUP's
prospects. But amidst all the
talk of another blockbuster
season, Kanaskie sounds a
cautionary note: having
essentially the same person-
nel as last season won't
necessarily guarantee the
same success. Many an out-
standing team has crum-
bled under the weight of
complacency.
"We had a terrific work
ethic last year," said
Kanaskie. "But sometimes
when you have a lot of peo-
ple returning, players don't
work as hard, because they
think they know everything
and they think they're going
to have more talent than the
opposition. I guess that's
human nature when you
have success."
Team chemistry — that
intangible which enables a
collection of individuals to
function efficiently as a
unit — is another potential
area of concern.
"That's so important in
basketball," Kanaskie said.
"Last year, we had terrific
team chemistry."
And this year? Crump,
remember, isn't around to
provide leadership. What's
more, three newcomers —
freshmen Mark Faulx and
Chuck Karl and University
of Colorado transfer Kirk
Williams — must blend in
with the holdovers.
That lends an element of
mystery to an otherwise
known quantity: a predomi-
nantly veteran team. But if
the Indians iron out some
wrinkles, they could very
well deliver a suitable
encore to their spectacular
performance of a season
ago, when lUP became a
player on the national stage.
"Last year, our goal was
just to make the NCAA
tournament," said Kanaskie.
"I think this year we'd be
disappointed if we didn't
get back to the Elite Eight."
The Indians are certainly
capable of authoring
another storybook season,
for Kurt Kanaskie — just
like Donald Trump — is
surrounded by riches.
There's a wealth of
talent and experience at
lUP. And a wealth of opti-
mism to match.
