Sustaining  Student  Gkiaiity  Through  Enrollment  Management

After  reading  this  issue 's  article  on  enrollment  management,  essentially  a 
story  about  how  we  go  about  attracting  prospective  students,  I  could  not 
help  but  think  about  the  types  of  students  we  graduate.  I  started  thinking 
about  alumni. 


O 


dually,  thinking  about  alumni  is  something  I 
rarely  can  avoid,  being  the  person  responsible  for  the 
Class  Notes  section.  Having  a  private  school  back- 
ground and  the  benefit  of  those  schools"  magazines 
and.  in  my  position,  having  access  to  an  abundance  of 
other  university  magazines,  one  thing  pops  off  the 
page  to  me  about  lUP  alumni:  You  people 
really  work  hard. 


offer  a  contrast.  The  alumni  magazine  of  one  New  England  col- 
lege is  full  of  statements  from  chums  who  bid  greetings  from  their 
yachts  as  they  perpetually  cruise  the  Caribbean  or  from  their  year-long 

tours  of  Europe  or  from  some  wild  place  they've  chosen  for  moun- 
tain climbing.  Sure,  some  of  them  work,  but  more  of  them  play. 

In  one  of  our  student  recruitment  pieces.  President  Lawrence 

Pettit  is  quoted  as  saying.  "lUP  students  arc  wonderful  human 

beings.  They're  not  spoiled.  They're  not  snobbish.  But  they're 

very  sophisticated."  He  is  right,  and  that  attitude  doesn't  stop  after 

commencement.  lUP  alumni  are  the  salt  of  the  earth,  the  real 

movers  and  shakers.  You  are  bold:  You  don't  .seem  to  be  afraid  to 

change  career  paths  a  decade  after  graduation — even  two  decades. 

And,  you  are  smart:  So  many  of  you  earn  advanced  degrees.  No, 

actually,  you  are  smart  jugglers:  I'm  always  amazed  at  how  many  of 

you  earn  your  advanced  degrees  with  toddlers  in  tow  or  even  in  the 

ninth  month  of  pregnancy.  Best  of  all.  you  care  about  each  other  and  seem  to 

maintain  lifelong  friendships. 

Take,  for  example.  Chuck  Breindel  "70.  M'71.  who  told  us  in  the  summer 
issue  he  had  resigned  from  his  post  at  Virginia  Commonwealth  University  to 
enter  seminary  and  pursue  priesthood.  Or,  Catherine  Dunlap  Miller  '7?i.  who  in 
this  issue  announces  she  retired  from  one  company,  sold  it,  then  bought 
another,  all  while  cofounding  a  new  private  school.  Or.  Jacque  Day  '94.  who 
is  president  of  a  new  motion  picture  production  company,  is  a  pro- 
ducer for  another  company,  and  sits  on  a  film-industry  board.  Or. 
Keith  Kodosky  '93,  who  was  in  the  top  10  percent  of  his  law 
class.  Or,  Sandy  Kruckvich  Brasili  '84,  who  graduated  from  the 
Reporting  Academy  of  Virginia  in  April  and  gave  birth  May  2.  Or, 
Kiera  Ritchey  Lally  '80  and  Becky  McDonald  Deutsch  '81,  who  helped 
Soni  dinger  Bickmore  '80  and  her  husband,  Doug,  with  the  adoption  of  their 
daughter.  The  list  goes  on. 

The  news  you  report  is  lively  and  mostly  fun.  Sometimes  you  send  tear-jerk- 
ing letters,  but  more  often  you  send  anecdotes.  Judging  from  your  submissions 
about  volunteer  work,  there  is  no  question  you  care  about  your  communities. 
You  care  deeply  for  your  families,  because  you  always  cram  their  names  onto 
the  little  Class  Notes  form  we  provide  to  submit  your  news.  We  should  all  feel 
comforted  knowing  you  are  out  there  taking  care  of  things. 

I  am  not  an  alumna  of  ILIP.  but  I  know  who  you  are.  You  are  good  people.

By  Edward  Master 

Geoscience  faculty  member  Steven  Hovan  collects  dust. 
He's  been  doing  it,  in  fact,  for  years.  Hovan  is  a  member  of 
the  Ocean  Drilling  Program  (ODP),  a  scientific  endeavor 
in  which  sediment  (containing  dust)  is  extracted  from  the 
ocean  floor  and  then  used  to  study  the  history  of  the  ocean 
and  variations  in  worldwide  climate. 


An  assistant  professor  in  lUP's  Geoscience 
Department,  Hovan  has  been  been  doing 
dust  research  for  about  twelve  years,  three  of 
them  at  lUP.  He  first  became  involved  in 
ODP  in  1991,  when  he  received  a  fellowship  while  in 
pursuit  of  his  doctorate  at  the  University  of  Michigan. 
His  research  in  paleooceanography  (study  of  the  prehis- 
toric ocean)  and  sedimentology  (the  study  of  sediments) 
led  to  his  involvement  in  ODP. 

ODP  was  initiated  in  1968  as  the  Deep  Sea  Drilling 
Project.  Today,  ODP  exists  as  an  international  scientific 
venture  that  includes  scientists  from  Australia,  Canada, 
Germany,  the  United  Kingdom,  Japan,  France,  the 
European  Science  Foundation,  and  the  United  States. 
This  partnership  is  known  as  the  Joint  Oceanographic 
Institutions  for  Deep  Earth  Sampling  (JOIDES). 

Drilling  for  Dust 

The  dust  is  collected  as  part  of  core  samples  obtained 
via  the  JOIDES  Resolution,  a  ship  fitted  with  a  deep-sea 
drilling  rig.  Tlie  Resulution  is  about  470  feet  long  and 
70  feel  wide.  The  top  of  the  drilling  derrick  rises  over 
200  feet  above  the  water  line  and  is  capable  of  drilling 


to  a  depth  of  30,000  feet.  During  the  drilling  process, 
the  ship  is  stabilized  through  a  computer-controlled 
series  of  cycloid  engines. 

To  extract  the  sediments,  a  drilling  technique  called 
piston  coring  is  used.  The  technique  involves  a  large 
hydraulic  syringe  that  draws  the  toothpaste-like  sedi- 
ment into  a  plastic  sleeve  with  minimal  disturbance  to 
the  sediment,  while  the  core  barrel  is  being  pushed 
around  the  sediments.  The  core  samples  are  produced  in 
sections  approximately  thirty-two  feet  long.  To  retrieve 
core  samples  from  more  compact  sediments,  a  rotating 
core  barrel  is  attached.  To  drill  into  bedrock,  a  tungsten 
carbide  bit  is  used. 

The  core  sample  is  then  pulled  back  to  the  ship  and 
tagged  for  location.  The  sample  undergoes  a  series  of 
bulk  tests  that  include  magnetic  susceptibility,  porosity, 
and  thermal  conductivity.  Then  the  core  sample  is  split 
in  half,  lengthwise,  and  photographed  to  record  the  orig- 
inal color.  One-half  of  the  core  will  undergo  various 
testing  on  the  ship,  while  the  other  half  will  be  stored  at 
Texas  A&M  University. 

After  the  core  is  split  in  half,  Hovan  acquires  his  own 
samples,  about  the  size  of  a  film  canister  for  a  SS-mm

the  mundane  routine, 

and  the  lack  of  life's  frills  while 

at  sea,  Hovan  is  extremely

,^      traiigraphy.  He  sends  some  samples 

'        to  11 'P.  where  he  collects  his  dust. 

Collecting  Oust 

Upon  his  return  to  lUP.  Hovan 
begins  the  isolation  of  the  mineral 
dust,  which  takes  about  eight  hours 
per  sample.  Acetic  acid  dissolves 
away  microfossils.  Sodium  hydrox- 
ide or  sodium  carbonate  clear  away 
biogenic  silicon.  Oxidizing  and 
reducing  chemical  reactions  remove 
any  rust  and  iron  encnistations. 

With  the  dust  isolated,  Hovan  can 
now  determine  how  much  dust  was 
accuniLilated.   how   much   dust   was 
accumulated  over  time,  how  fast  the 
dust  was  accumulated,  and  the  size 
of  the  dust  particles.  Dust  analysis  is 
=  accomplished      with      a      Coulter 
I  Counter,    an    instruinent    originally 
'  constructed  for  blood  cell  work.

s  causing   an   electrical   "jump"   at   a 
designated  reading  point.  The  num- 
ber of  "jumps'"  yields  the  number  of  dust  particles, 
while  the  size  of  the  "jump"  indicates  the  size  of  the 
particle. 

"From  how  much,  we  determine  how  the  supply  of 
dust  has  changed  through  time,"  Hovan  said.  "If  condi- 
tions give  us  twice  as  much  dust  in  a  sample,  then  twice 
as  much  dust  was  in  the  air.  That  indicates  a  change  in 
the  amount  of  dust  in  a  source  region." 

The  three  major  source  regions  are  eastern  and  central 
Asia,  northwest  Africa,  and  Arabia.  The  dust  is  trans- 
poned  from  these  regions  via  atmospheric  wind  currents 
such  as  the  trade  winds  or  westerlies.  Then,  the  dust  settles 
on  the  ocean  floor  and  leaves  the  paleoclimatic  record. 

Application 

Core  samples  have  been  extracted  that  reach  back 
into  the  age  of  the  dinosaur,  approximately  65  to  75  mil- 
lion years  ago.  Oddly  enough,  during  this  time,  the  pale- 
oclimatic record  shows  a  relatively  stable  global  cli- 
mate, even  at  the  time  when  dinosaurs  became  extinct. 

"If  we"re  really  going  to  get  a  handle  on  what  we're 
doing  as  a  human  species  to  our  climate,  how  we're 
influencing  our  climate,  and  the  potential  of  global  cli- 
mate change  such  as  global  warming."  Hovan  said. 
"we're  going  to  have  to  understand  how  the  entire  cli- 
mate system  is  interacting. 

"If  the  atmosphere  becomes  windier,  how  does  that 
influence  other  subsystems'  1  try  to  understand  the  past 
to  better  predict  the  changes  in  the  future." 


Life  at  Sea 

Hovan's  most  recent  research  cruise  was  about  2,000 
miles  from  Central  America  in  the  Pacific  Ocean  near 
the  equator.  The  closest  land  mass  of  note  was  Tahiti. 

"It  was  April.  I  scraped  ice  off  my  windshield,  left 
Indiana,  and  Hew  out  to  Acapulco."  Hovan  said.  "I  was 
sunburned  before  1  got  on  the  ship  the  next  day." 

Sound  exotic?  Hardly.  The  temi  cruise  is  misleading. 
As  Hovan  said,  "It's  not  shuffleboard  and  buffets." 

Generally,  about  fifty  people  are  on  the  Resolution. 
Half  are  scientists,  and  about  half  of  those  come  from 
the  United  Slates.  The  rest  make  up  the  crew  operating 
the  ship  and  the  contractor  doing  the  drilling.  The  living 
arrangements  are  generally  four  to  a  room  that  measures 
ten  by  fifteen  by  seven  feet  high.  Four  bunks.  One  or 
two  desks.  One  drawer  and  one  locker  per  person.  The 
toilet  and  showering  facilities  are  similar  to  those  on  an 
airplane.  Fortunately,  the  Resolution  is  large  enough  to 
have  its  own  desalinization  system,  so  fresh  water  is  not 
a  problem. 

The  work  surrounding  the  drilling  and  examination  of 
the  core  samples  is  done  over  twelve-hour  shifts.  With  a 
team  of  four  sedimentologists,  that  amounts  to  two  per 
shift.  That's  a  twelve-hour  shift,  seven  days  per  week, 
seven  to  eight  weeks  at  sea. 

Because  it's  often  less  expensive  to  hire  an  interna- 
tional caterer,  the  last  cruise  had  a  Portugese  food  con- 
tractor. 

"Most  of  the  food  was  western  cuisine.  Well,  they 
tried  to  cook  it  that  way,  anyway,"  Hovan  said.  "But, 
because  of  the  international  contingent,  they  also  tried 
to  vary  the  food." 

The  fresh  fruits  and  vegetables  are  the  first  food  to 
run  out  several  weeks  into  the  trip.  Then  it's  canned 
fruit  and  veggies.  Fresh  milk  also  runs  out  fairly  early 
and  then  it's  powder  time.  Eggs  may  last  the  whole 
cruise.  The  end  result  is  a  lot  of  rice  and  meat,  food 
stuffs  that  can  take  two  months  at  sea. 

Recreation  is  limited.  The  Resolution  carries  a  large 
selection  of  books  and  videos  and  has  a  lounge  area.  A 
small  exercise  room  has  a  few  rowing  machines,  bikes, 
and  weights. 

The  Resolution  does  have  a  doctor  and  a  medical  area 
to  treat  injuries.  But  the  priority  is  to  continue  drilling. 
Returning  to  port  is  avoided  if  at  all  possible. 

Hovan  says  that  one  of  the  greatest  challenges  at  sea 
is  handling  stress.  A  Scotsman  once  brought  his  bag- 
pipes along  on  a  cruise.  With  such  limited  space,  the 
Scotsman  would  practice  in  a  small  elevator.  The  sound 
reverberated  throughout  the  ship. 

"1  don't  want  to  hear  a  bagpipe  again,  the  rest  of  my 
life, "  Hovan  said.  "He  didn't  play  very  well,  either." 

Stress  also  comes  from  the  sea.  On  his  last  cruise,  the 
Resolution  actually  skirted  some  \ery  bad  storms. 

"The  seas  were  about  thirty  feet  high.  We  were  taking 
on  some  water  and  had  to  close  the  hatches  to  keep 
water  from  entering  the  ship,"  Hovan  said.  "That  was 
probably  the  worst  sea  I've  been  on.  Luckily.  I  didn't 
eet  sick."

Coming  Home 

After  two  months  at  sea.  Hovan  eagerly  awaits  the 
serenity  of  home — and  the  quiet  that  accompanies  it. 
The  noise  associated  with  rough  seas,  drilling,  and 
cycloid  engines  is  often  deafening. 

"The  one  thing  I  notice  when  I  get  back  to  land  is  the 
quiet.  When  I  get  away  from  the  ship,  everything  is 
quiet."  Hovan  said.  "It  doesn't  matter  if  Tm  in  the  mid- 
dle of  a  busy  street.  it"s  quiet.  And.  it's  something  I  miss 
when  I'm  at  sea — that  peace  and  quiet." 

But  with  all  the  work,  the  mundane  routine,  and  the 
lack  of  life's  frills  while  at  sea.  Hovan  says  he  is 
extremely  grateful  for  the  opportunity  to  pursue  his 
research  and  for  the  commitment  lUP  has  made  on  his 
behalf.  He  also  appreciates  a  side  benefit  that  has  come  his 
way  as  a  result  of  his  participation  in  ODP:  friendship.

"One  of  the  things  I  find  extremely  nice  about  the 
whole  program  is  the  friendships  I  make,"  Hovan  said. 
"You  tend  to  make  really  close  friends  when  you're 
stuck  together  for  two  months  and  you're  depending  on 
them  for  every  aspect  of  your  life.  Wherever  I  go  in  the 
world  now.  there's  somebody  I  can  stop  and  see."  "^

ore  than  a  mil- 
lion and  a  half 
dollars  to  fund 
research  came  to  lUP  in 
the  1996-97  fiscal  year 
from  outside  sources. 
This  figure  represented 
a  24-percent  increase 
over  the  dollar  amount 
of  the  previous  year 
and  was  the  second 
highest  research 
amount  ever  received 
by  the  university. 

Credit  for  this  activity 
goes  not  only  to  the 
researchers  themselves 
and  to  their  deans  and 
colleges  but  to  the  Office 
of  Grants  and  Sponsored 
Research,  which  just 
about  every  year  exceeds 
its  own  previous  record 
of  submitted  proposals. 
The  office  coordinates 
requests  for  e.xternal 
funding  contracts  as  well 
as  those  for  research. 
Last  year,  more  than 
half  the  three  hundred 
proposals  submitted 
were  funded,  bringing  a 
total  of  $6.8  million  to 
the  university,  including 
the  $1.6  million  for 
research. 


According  to  Ginger 
Brown,  associate  dean 
for  research,  several  fac- 
ulty members  and 
administrators  received 
especially  significant 
research  awards  in  1996- 
97.  They  included  Timo- 
thy Austin,  Criminology, 
for  a  study  of  "Peace- 
keeping in  Mixed  Mus- 
lim-Christian Towns: 
The  Philippine  Proto- 
type"; Edward  Donley, 
Mathematics,  for  a  Linic

with  three  other  profes- 
sors, for  a  project  involv-

According  to  Brown, 
"The  acquisition  of

support  research 
involves  a  tremendous 
commitment  of  time, 
energy,  and  creativity, 
particularly  at  lUP,

is  heavy.  Many  faculty 
members  persist  in  these 
efforts,  are  highly  suc-

This  process  requires  focused  attention  on   student

Strategic  Enrollment  Management 

Over  the  past  twenty  years,  trendv  in  the  size  of  the 
student  body  at  ILP  reflect  changes  in  the  demographic 
profile  of  the  population  in  the  commonwealth.  Total 
enrollment  in  the  early  lySfls  hovered  around  12,500 


-Niccolo  MachiaveUi 


students,  with  undergraduates  making  up  I  L.^OO  of  this 
total.  Freshman  classes  of  2,800  students  at  all  three 
campuses  were  common  during  this  period.  Transfer 
populations  of  approximately  400  were  also  the  norm. 
This  was,  however,  the  beginning  in  a  surge  in  student 
activitv  at  all  levels  of  the  university  throughout  the 
1980s. 

Total  student  enrollment  hit  its  peak  in  1991,  with 
14,620  students.  Of  this.  13,011  students  were  enrolled 
at  the  undergraduate  level  and  1.609  at  the  graduate 
level.  lUP  maintained  two  branch  campuses  at  Kittan- 
ning  and  Punxsutawnev  with  a  total  enrollment  of 
approximatelv  750.  ^^hile  admission  to  the  Indiana 
campus  was  tairly  selective,  the  universitv  utilized  its 
branch  campuses  as  sites  for  students  who  first  required 
the  intimacy  oi  a  small  c(>llege  environment  to  assist  in 
the  transition  to  the  main  campus. 

The  rise  in  student  enrollment  at  the  undergraduate 
level  enhanced  the  financial  position  of  the  universitv . 
but  it  also  had  associated  cost  in  terms  of  declining  aca- 
demic preparation  in  the  new-student  population.  Aver- 
age combined  SAT  scores  of  1 130.  common  in  the  sev- 
enties and  earlv  eighties,  had  slid  to  1060.  This  trend 
also  had  broader  implications  for  the  university  in  terms 
of  student  retention.  It  is  well  accepted  thai  there  is  a

In  1992,  Lawrence  K.Pettit 
became  lUP's  twenty-first 
president.  Alter  managing 
some  of  the  university's  imme- 
diate concerns,  he  called  lor  a 
return  to  the  "lUP  heritage"  in 
early  1994.  A  critical  element

high  relationship  hetween  the  level  of  preparation  of 
new  students  and  their  ability  to  persist  through  the  rig- 
ors of  a  university  educational  experience. 

In  1992.  Lawrence  K.  Pettit  became  lUP's  twenty- 
first  president.  After  managing  some  of  the  university's 
immediate  concerns,  he  called  for  a  return  to  the  "lUP 
heritage"  in  early  1994.  A  critical  element  in  this  initia- 
tive involved  a  renewed  emphasis  on  quality  across  the 
campus  and  in  the  admissions  area  in  particular.  The 
president  also  directed  the  development  of  a  revi.sed  .set 
of  recruitment  materials.  With  a  new  dean  of  admissions 
and  a  radically  different  approach  to  student  recruit- 
ment, the  university  embarked  on  a  new  emphasis  on 
quality. 

Regaining  IUP"s  competitive  position  among  the 
commonwealth's  most  prestigious  institutions  would 
not  be  easy.  The  road  to  increased  quality  and  enroll- 
ment stability  would  require  a  more  comprehensive 
approach,  one  which  would  consider  related,  yet  critical, 
issues,  such  as  image  marketing,  student  retention,  and 
the  availability  of  merit-based  financial  aid.  Perhaps 
most  important  of  all,  the  president  knew  that  these 
efforts  must  be  linked  to  a  strategic  plan  that  would 
drive  critical  management  decisions. 

In  the  spring  of  1995.  the  president  authorized  the 
search  for  the  associate  provost  for  enrollment  manage- 


ment and  planning.  This  position  would  lead  the  univer- 
sity's efforts  in  admissions,  student  registration  and 
records,  and  institutional  research  and  would  serve  as 
the  university's  chief  planning  officer.  Since  that  time, 
the  position  has  also  become  responsible  for  interna- 
tional affairs,  the  branch  campuses  in  Armstrong 
County  and  Punxsutawney.  and  the  Academy  of  Culi- 
nary Arts.  Enrollment  management  had  come  of  age  at 
lUP  for  the  first  time  in  its  history. 

Finding  Good  Candidates 

flic  heart  ot  enrollment  management  is  in  admis- 
sions. To  enhance  the  academic  quality  in  the  student 
body,  one  first  has  to  develop  a  pool  of  high-quality 
prospects.  To  do  so  requires  a  systematic  plan  that 
includes  direct  mail  marketing,  personal  contacts  and 
refenals.  and  strategic  use  of  marketing  data. 

Under  the  leadership  of  William  Nunn,  dean  of 
admissions,  the  university's  success  in  building  both 
size  and  quality  in  the  prospect  pool  has  been  stagger- 
ing. Indicators  of  this  success  include  a  ."iO  percent 
increase  in  the  number  of  inquiries  since  the  fall  of 
1 992,  as  well  as  the  movement  to  number  two  in  Penn- 
sylvania (surpassed  only  by  Penn  State)  as  the  univer- 
sity most  often  designated  by  SAT  test  takers  for  receipt 
of  their  scores.  ►  24 


The  Choice 
of  Excellent 
Students 


by  President  Lawrenre  K.  I'ettit 


R: 


I  on  Maggiore  mentions 
that  we  are  about  the 

[task  of  "Reclaiming  the 
HIP  heritage."  There  is  much 
about  lUP's  history  of  which  to 
be  proud,  most  of  it  because  of 
the  quality  of  students,  faculty, 
and  staff  and  the  values  that 
impelled  them  toward  both 
compassion  and  excellence. 

One — but  only  one — way  of 
measuring  student  quality  is 
the  average  SAT  score  of  the 
entering  freshman  class.  We 
use  this  as  a  broad  indicator  of 
where  we  are  headed,  but  we 
also  are  aware  of  the  many 

8     III  P  M  \(;  \/  I  N  K 


caveats.  A  look  at  average 
scores  shows  that  the  1970s 
were  the  halcyon  years  at  lUP, 
with  a  decline  in  the  1980s, 
hitting  bottom  in  the  early 
1990s,  and  now  rising  again. 
The  average  is  affected,  obvi- 
ously, by  the  size  of  the  fresh- 
man class.  For  example,  if  we 
were  to  cut  from  the  bottom 
and  reduce  the  size  of  this 
year's  entering  class  to  that  of, 
say,  Millersville,  our  average 
SAT  score  would  be  an  impres- 
sive 1130. 

Our  goal  in  admissions  is  to 
have  each  year  a  bigger  and 


better  applicant  pool,  and  a 
pool  that  is  more  diverse  both 
demographically  and 
geographically.  After  re-engi- 
neering the  admissions  pro- 
cess, we  experienced  a  30  per- 
cent overall  increase  in 
applications,  but  more  than  40 
percent  in  eastern  Pennsylva- 
nia, and  even 
higher 
increases  in 
applications 
from  minority 
students,  and 
from  out-of- 
state  and  inter- 
national stu- 
dents. In 
addition,  as 
Ron  points  out, 
we  moved 
firmly  into  .sec- 
ond place, 

behind  only  Penn  State,  in  the 
number  of  Pennsylvania  high 
school  students  who  have  their 
SAT  scores  sent  to  us.  With 
this  stunning  success  in  appli- 
cation increases,  we  have  been 
able  steadily  to  increa.se  the 
average  SAT  scores  while  also 
increasing  the  size  of  the  frcsh-

man  class. 

We  don't  know  what  would 
have  happened  had  we  not  ini- 
tiated the  dramatic  reforms  of 
a  few  years  ago,  but  1  suspect 
that  the  rate  of  SAT  score 
decline  would  have  accelerated 
and  lUP  would  have  lost  its 
competitive  positioning  within 
the  state. 

There  are  many 
colleges  and  uni- 
versities in  Penn- 
sylvania that  are 
struggling  for 
enrollment,  and 
that  experience  a 
decline  in  numbers 
even  as  they  relax 
their  standards. 
This  is  not  the  case 
with  lUP.  Even  as 
our  applications 
increased  by  30 
percent,  we  deliberate!) 
reduced  our  enrollment  to 
13,800  for  two  years  in  order  to 
work  on  quality.  Now  we  have 
taken  it  back  up  to  14.000,  and 
will  continue  to  increase  only  as 
we  can  do  so  without  sacrificing

come. 

lUP  President  Lawrence  K. 
Pettit  and  his  family  have  estab- 
lished a  scholarship  in  memory 
of  President  Pettit's  mother,  who 
died  in  July.  The  Dorothy  Brown

before  he  could  implement  his 
plan.  According  to  his  widow. 


Charon  Wilson  Sheetz  of  Banner 
Elk.  N.C.,  his  family  will  fulfill 
her  husband's  wish.  The  Robert 
Sheet/  Memorial  Scholarship 
will  benefit  students  from 
Sheetz's  hometown  of  Greens- 
burg,  Pa. 

Thomas  Smyth,  Jr.,  of  State 
College,  has  established  an 
endowed  scholarship  in  memory 
of  his  father,  who  headed  the 
Indiana  State  Teachers  College 
science  department  from  the 
twenties  through  the  forties.  The 
Thomas  Smyth.  Sr.,  Memorial 
Scholarship  will  provide  finan- 
cial support  to  outstanding  stu- 
dents enrolled  in  the  Department 
of  Biology. 

Vice  President  of  Institutional 
Advancement  Joan  M.  Fisher 
said,  "These  newly  endowed 
scholarships  created  by  univer- 


sity alumni  and  the  family  of  the 
university's  president  are  just  the 
kind  of  spirited  and  generous 
philanthropy  that  can  assist  our 
current  students  in  accomplishing 
their  goals.  We  are  grateful  for 
the  interest  and  support  shown." 

In  honor  of  the  university's 
123th  anniversary  in  2000,  a 
goal  of  establishing  125  new 
scholarships  by  June  30,  1998, 
has  been  set.  More  than  83  per- 
cent of  lUP  students  currently

The  Second 
Class  Is  First 
Class,  Too 

Three  former  valedictori- 
ans and  four  salutatorians 
are  among  the  eighty- 
seven  freshmen  in  the  Robert  E. 
Cook  Honors  College's  Class  of 
2001 ,  the  second  class  to  be 
admitted  to  the  college.  With  an 
average  SAT  score  of  1290,  the 
group  is  heavily  focused  on 
majors  in  the  colleges  of  Natural 
Sciences  and  Mathematics 
(twenty-five  class  members). 
Humanities  and  Social  Sciences 
(twenty-three),  and  Education 
(twenty-two). 

Six  students  each  have  majors 
in  Fine  Arts  and  Health  and 
Human  Services,  and  five  have 
majors  in  the  Eberly  College  of 
Business.  Ten  are  from  outside 
Pennsylvania. 

Several  members  of  the  col- 
lege's first  class,  who  are  now 


sophomores,  had  exciting  sum- 
mer experiences,  many  of  them 
international.  Josh  Schneider,  a 
physics  major  from  Coraopolis, 
studied  the  philosophy  of  science 
at  England's  Cambridge  Univer- 
sity. When  he  wrote  to  Honors 
College  Assistant  Director  Rick 
Kutz  during  the  summer,  he  said, 
"The  university  is  very 
traditional,  and  the  classes  are 
challenging,  but  I'll  make  you  all 
proud." 

Schneider  was  joined  for  a 
time  by  Journalism  major  Kristin 
Irish  from  York  and  Anthropol- 
ogy/English major  Petra  Brock 
from  Ashland,  Va.  According  to 
Honors  College  Director  Janet 
Goebel,  the  women  had  been 
part  of  the  State  System  of 
Higher  Education's  Summer 
Honors  Program.  They  spent  two 
weeks  studying  history  and 
archaeology  at  East  Stroudsburg 
University  before  traveling  to 
South  Shields,  England,  for 
another  two  weeks.  There,  they 
helped  with  a  dig  on  a  Roman 
fort  along  Hadrian's  Wall  and 
enjoyed  lectures  and  field  trips 
before  going  on  to  Cambridge 
for  a  summer  session. 

In  a  postcard  to  the  Honors 
College,  Irish  and  Brock  wrote, 
"We  are  having  the  most  won- 
derful time  of  our  lives.  The  dig 
is  going  very  well.  We've  found 
bones,  pottery,  Roman  glass,  and 
nails,  and  Kristin  even  found  a 
bronze  Roman  coin,  circa  200 
A.D.  A  chain  mail  shirt  was  also 
found — one  of  the  only  finds  of 
its  kind  along  Hadrian's  Wall." 

A  Pre-Optometry  student  from 
Bloomsburg.  Leiitia  Reichart, 
studied  in  Nancy.  France,  and 
French  major  Shannon  Sechrist 
from  Saltsburg  also  traveled  to 
France.  She  will  attend  classes 
there  next  spring  as  an  exchange 
student.  Also  in  France  was 
Shelly  Jefferson,  a  Computer 
Science/French  double  major 
from  Coopersburg. 

Lucy  SheficI,  who  is  studying 
in  France  this  fall,  thanks  to  an 


award  from  the  French 
Academy,  was  in  Russia  during 
the  summer.  She  is  an 
Economics  major  from  Bclliel 
Park. 

The  State  System's  Women's 
Consortium  attracted  Tampa. 
Fla..  Journalism  major 
Angelique  Weger  and  Patton 
English/Management  major 
Elizabeth  Baran.  Ami  Walker,  a 
Computer  Science  major  from 
Altoona,  worked  in  New  York 
City  all  summer  on  an  informal 
internship,  and  Emily  Abrams, 
an  English  Pre-Law  major  from 
St.  Petersburg,  Fla.,  was  one  of 
several  Honors  College  students 
who  spent  the  summer  doing 
community  service,  Goebel  said. 
She  was  a  counselor  at  a  camp 
for  exceptional  students. 

All  told,  about  half  the  mem- 
bers of  the  college's  premier 
class  took  summer  courses  at 
various  locations.  But  perhaps 
the  most  rigorous  experience 
was  that  of  Larry  Paladin,  an 
Elementary  Education  major 
from  Pittsburgh:  he  spent  the 
summer  in  Basic  Training  with 
the  National  Guard. 

Lacrosse 
Replaces 
Gymnastics 

The  IUP  athletic  depart- 
ment welcomed  a  new 
kid  on  the  block  over  the 
summer — and  bid  adieu  to  the 
university's  only  two-time 
national  championship  program. 
Again. 

A  women's  lacrosse  team  will 
debut  in  the  spring,  replacing  a 
women's  gymnastics  program 
that  won  Division  II  titles  in 
1988  and  1989.  Gymnastics  was 
originally  discontinued  in  1992, 
but  the  program  was  reinstated 
later  that  year  after  U.S.  District 
Court  Judge  Maurice  Cohill 
ruled  in  favor  of  four  female 
athletes  who  filed  a  class-action

tion  of  Title  IX.  Cohill  recently 
approved  the  university's  request 
to  replace  gymnastics  with 
lacrosse. 

"Lacrosse  is  a  growing  sport 
within  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Athletic  Conference  and  NCAA 
Division  II,"  said  lUP  athletic 
director  Frank  Cignetti.  "In  the 
NCAA  today  there  are  270  Divi- 
sion II  institutions.  Only  nine 
sponsor  gymnastics,  and  only 
four  of  those  are  in  the  East." 

While  gymnastics  programs 
are  dwindling,  lacrosse  is  experi- 
encing a  surge  in  popularity, 
especially  in  the  mid-Atlantic 
states.  lUP  becomes  the  seventh 
PSAC  member  to  field  a  team.

True-Life  Start- 
up  Story 

Students  waiting  in  line  to 
buy  course  booklets  at 
Pro-Packet  near  the  lUP 
campus  might  assume  the  young 
man  behind  the  counter  is  a  fel- 
low student  working  at  a  part- 
time  job.  A  few  years  ago.  they 
would  have  been  right,  but  the 
thirty-year-old  entrepreneur  fill- 
ing orders  today  is  the  owner  of 
the  business. 


Five  years  ago.  Kevin  Barley 
was  an  lUP  student  working 
pail-time  at  Kinko's  near  cam- 
pus while  completing  his  Master 
of  Business  Administration 
degree.  After  receiving  the 
degree  in  May,  1992,  he  stayed 
at  the  job,  working  full-time  and 
waiting  without  luck  for  a 
chance  to  join  the  management 
team  of  one  of  the  chain's  stores. 

In  the  summer  of  1 993. 
Kinko's  corporate  leaders 
announced  that  the  company 
would  stop  offering  course  pack- 
ets (bound  collections  of  class 
materials)  in  December  of  that 
year. 

"I  remember  it  was  a  shock  to 
all  of  us,"  Barley  said.  "The 
manager  was  concerned.  This 
was  a  big  chunk  of  sales,  and 
they  were  throwing  the  product 
away.  Three  or  four  of  us  were 
saying  we  ought  to  do  this  on  our 
own..." 

Though  he  had  little  work 
experience.  Barley  had  finished 
his  M.B.A.  and  some  undergrad- 
uate business  courses  he  had 
taken  at  lUP  with  a  4.0  grade 
point  average.  For  his  bachelor's 
degree  at  Duquesne  University, 
he  had  taken  a  double  major  in 
psychology  and  sociology  (with 
a  criminal  justice  concentration). 


The  packet  situation  at 
Kinko's  made  Barley  ask  him- 
self, "What  are  you  doing?  Do 
you  want  to  work  for  yourself  or 
do  you  want  to  work  for  some- 
one else?" 

He  reasoned  that  being  single, 
young,  and  a  recent  graduate  not 
yet  far  in  his  career,  the  risk 
would  be  only  a  financial  one. 

"Unless  you  have  a  lifelong 
dream  or  are  born  into  a  busi- 
ness, opportunity  knocks  and 
you  open  the  door,"  he  said. 
"Then,  you  have  to  have  the  guts 
to  take  the  chance." 

Once  he  decided  to  start  his 
own  store,  he  had  only  a  few 
months  to  make  it  happen  before 
the  spring  semester  started  in 
January. 

"That  whole  fall,  preparing 
and  marketing,  was  an  exciting, 
scary  time,"  he  said. 

The  first  thing  he  did  was  call 
a  few  of  his  business  professors 
to  ask  for  advice.  He  also  spoke 
to  the  staff  of  the  Small  Business 
Development  Center  at  the  for- 
mer Robertshaw  building. 

He  wrote  his  business  plan 
and  approached  several  banks; 
all  turned  down  his  loan  request. 

In  December,  1993,  Barley 
left  Kinko's  and  devoted  himself 


to  his  new  business.  He  finally 
signed  loan  papers  at  PNC  Bank 
two  days  before  Christmas,  just 
in  time  to  order  his  equipment. 

"It's  a  scary  thing  taking  out  a 
loan — spending  all  that  cash 
when  you  haven't  made  a  dime 
yet,"  he  said. 

His  equipment  arrived  a  week 
before  classes  were  scheduled  to 
start — and  broke  down  two  days 
later.  He  found  himself  behind 
schedule  and  feared  he  would 
not  be  able  to  deliver  the  packets 
he  had  promised  at  the  start  of 
the  semester — a  problem  the 
new  business  could  not  afford. 

"Then  the  hand  of  God  came 
down,  and  it  was  so  freezing 
cold  and  nasty  outside  that 
classes  were  delayed  for  two 
days,"  said  Barley  with  a  smile. 

It  was  the  break  he  needed.  He 
caught  up  with  back  orders  and 
was  ready  for  new  ones  when  his 
doors — and  classes — opened  for 
the  semester. 

Although  there  are  other 
course  packet  competitors,  the 
lUP  Co-op  Store  among  them, 
Pro-Packet  has  grown  signifi- 
cantly every  year,  and  new  prod- 
ucts and  services  are  continually 
being  added.  Success  has  proven 


lUP  MAG  AZ  I  N  K     11 


to  Barley  that  sound  education, 
solid  experience,  and  the  courage 
to  take  risks  can  pay  dividends.

In  the  National 
Spotlight 

Once  agani.  lUP has  gar- 
nered national  publicity 
for  its  combination  of 
low  cost  and  high  quality. 
Released  this  past  summer,  the 
Student  Guide  to  America 's  100 
Best  Coltefie  Buys  includes  lUP 
among  the  schools  it  profiles 
because  of  high  academic  rating 
and  low  total  cost. 

Compiled  by  an  independent 
educational  research  organiza- 
tion, the  guide  provides  complete 
information  about  each  of  its 
selections,  including  costs, 
majors,  and  campus  life.  lUP  is 
the  only  Western  Penn.sylvania 
institution  of  higher  learning  to 
be  included  in  the  guide  and  is 
one  of  only  two  in  Pennsylvania. 

"lUP  is  honored  and  grateful 
for  its  selection,"  President 
Lawrence  K.  Pettit  said.  "Nearly 
every  year,  lUP  is  singled  out  by 
national  guides  that  rate  value  in 
higher  education.  The  fact  that 
we  are  competitively  priced  is 
important,  but  even  more  impor- 
tant is  our  growing  reputation  for 
academic  excellence."

Fan  Mail 


I  just  read  Randy  Jesick's  "At 
Work  in  the  Fields  of  the 
Famous"  article  in  the  sum- 
mer edition  of  lUP  Magazine. 

As  a  featured  graduate  in  the 
article.  I  felt  compelled  to  write 
and  point  out  that  Randy  left  out 
one  important  factual  piece  of 
information — the  motivational 
force  behind  many  of  the  sports 
journalism  grads"  success  sto- 
ries— Randy  himself! 

As  my  advisor.  Randy  helped 
me  mold  my  intense  sports  inter- 
est into  a  professional  career.  He 
encouraged  me  to  start  writing 
for  the  Penn  's  sports  department 
just  one  week  into  my  first  class 
with  him  as  a  first-semester 
freshman.  I  can  remember  think- 
ing he  was  crazy...!  didn't  even 
know  how  to  write  yet!  But  I  did 
it  anyway,  and  it  paid  off. 

When  I  was  a  junior.  Randy 
helped  me  land  an  internship 
with  KDKA's  Goose  Goslin.  I 
was  fairiy  qualified  for  the  posi- 
tion, but  it  was  Randy's  personal 
relationship  with  Goose  and  his 
assistance  that  got  me  through 
the  door. 

Through  my  KDKA  intern- 
ship, I  met  the  Piusburgh  Post- 
Gazette  's  Ed  Bouchette,  who 
gave  me  the  opportunity  to  write 
as  a  freelancer  for  his  paper's 
suburban  editions.  In  1988,  he 
called  me  while  I  was  interning 
at  ESPN  to  inform  me  of  an 
opening  in  the  Purdue  University 
Athletic  Department,  where  I 
was  eventually  hired  and  worked 
for  seven  years.  The  lUP  sports 
journalism  alumni  network, 
spearheaded  by  Randy,  is  incred- 
ibly strong. 

Randy's  background  as  a 
sports  information  director  gave 
him  the  skills  to  teach  all  of  us 
practical  industry  knowledge. 
This  quality  runs  throughout  the 
entire  lUP  Journalism  Depart- 
ment which  has  just  recently  said 


goodbye  to  another  mentor  and 
friend,  David  Truby.  Journalism 
founder  Craig  Swauger  should 
be  proud  of  producing  such  a 
talented  staff  which  motivates  its 
students  to  push  themselves  past 
mediocrity  and  take  chances.

Teri's  Tribute 

I  am  writing  to  you  on  behalf 
of  my  best  friend,  Teri  Holt. 
Teri  and  I  were  paired  up  as 
roommates  in  1984,  since  we 
were  transfer  students.  She  trans- 
feiTed  from  the  Air  Force 
Academy  and  I  transferted  from 
a  junior  college.  Both  of  us  grad- 
uated with  high  honors  in  1987 
with  our  bachelor's  degrees.  She 
received  hers  in  Audiology- 
Speech  Pathology,  and  I 
received  mine  in  Geography. 
Later,  Teri  received  her  master's 
degree  in  audiology  from  Penn 
State  University,  then  moved  to 
Rochester,  N.Y.,  to  accept  a 
position  at  Strong  Memorial 
Hospital  as  an  audiologist. 

Last  summer,  she  was 
accepted  into  medical  school  at 
the  University  of  Rochester  and 
within  the  same  month,  she 
learned  that  she  had  cancer.  She 
was  forced  to  postpone  medical 
school  while  she  underwent  a 
number  of  chemotherapy  and 
radiation  treatments.  She  never 
gave  up.  On  July  7,  Teri  died  of 
one  of  the  rarest  types  of  cancer: 
Uterine  sarcoma.  She  was  only 
thirty-two  years  old.  She  was  a 
marathon  runner,  a  mentor,  and 
the  most  caring  and  loving  per- 
son I  have  ever  met.  She  touched 
my  life  like  no  one  else  ever  will. 


At  Teri's  memorial  service,  I,  as 
her  best  friend  of  thirteen  years, 
carried  to  the  altar:  Her  lUP 
sweatshirt.

Stormy  Weather 

First  of  all,  thanks  for  the 
always  interesting  and 
enjoyable  lUP  Magazine. 
It  is  always  refreshing  to  read 
about  the  happenings  at  lUP.  For 
some  reason,  maybe  the  facility 
of  e-mail,  I  felt  compelled  to 
comment  on  two  items: 

First,  I  noted  and  concurred 
with  Ms.  Fisher's  assessment  of 
"A  Return  to  the  Scene  of  the 
Crime."  She  stated  her  case  quite 
convincingly. 

Second,  a  note  of  correction; 
On  page  12  in  "The  Company 
We  Keep"  it  is  stated,  "For  the 
first  time  ever,  the  ceremony  had 
to  be  moved  from  Miller  Sta- 
dium because  of  severe 
weather."  The  graduating  class 
of  1970,  parenthetically  the  first 
class  having  spent  all  four  years 
under  university  status,  had  its 
ceremonies  in  the  Field  House.  If 
the  emphasis  had  been  on  the 
comment  of  "severe  weather," 
perhaps  it  is  more  accurate. 

On  May  24,  1970,  it  had  been 
raining  most  of  the  prior  evening 
and  well  into  the  morning  when 
the  decision  was  made  to  cancel 
the  outdoor  ceremonies  and 
move  to  the  Field  House.  By  the 
time  the  festivities  began,  how- 
ever, the  weather  was  actually 
very  nice,  but  the  event  was  still 
held  indoors. 

Keep  up  the  good  work  and 
thanks  for  all  your  efforts.

your  sending  along  ordering

Coach  Hoenstine 

In  his  "Namedroppers"  feature 
in  the  Summer  issue.  Bob 
Fulton  noted  Sam  Hoenstine 
as  one  of  the  1997  lUP  Athletic 
Hall  of  Fame  inductees.  The  late 
Trevor  Hadley's  excellent  biog- 
raphy of  Sam  in  "Retired  Faculty 
Spotlight"  a  few  years  back  cov- 
ered Sam's  career  at  lUP  but  left 
out  one  very  salient  part  of  his 
career. 

Sam  was  basketball  coach 
during  his  tenure  at  Keith 
School.  He  was  a  fantastically 
positive  influence  on  many 
young  boys.  Eleven  of  the  twelve 
team  members  pictured  in  the 
1951  Aconi  [the  Keith  School 
yearbook]  went  on  to  college, 
one  to  the  U.S.  Marine  Corps.

Hall  of  Fame  doesn't  leave  out 
Sam's  coaching  attributes.

Mghttime's  Not 
the  Right  Time 

As  a  regular  supporter  of 
lUP  Indian  football  and 
a  concerned  alumnus.  I 
would  like  to  let  you  know  that  I 
and  my  family  were  very  disap- 
pointed to  learn  that  the  1997 
Homecoming  football  game 
would  be  played  at  7  p.m. 

Many  of  us  have  children  and 
look  forward  to  an  annual  return 
to  campus  for  Homecoming.  In 
the  past,  I  was  lucky  enough  to 
live  in  Indiana  and  was  able  to 
attend  many  football  games  on 
Saturday  afternoons  at  Miller 
Stadium.  It  seems  very  wrong  to 
have  these  games  moved  to  the 
evening  hours. 

The  best  case  for  an  evening 
Homecoming  game  is  that  stu- 
dents will  have  more  time  to 
party  before  game  time.  1  under- 
stand that  this  makes  games 
more  presentable  to  students,  but 
to  alumni  it  is  inappropriate  at 
best.  I  live  at  least  four  hours 
from  Indiana  now.  and  the  drive 
is  acceptable  when  we  can  stay 
overnight  and  see  the  parade  and 
game  in  very  short  order.  With  a 
parade  at  2  p.m.  and  the  game  at 
7  p.m.,  that  makes  a  trip  for 
Homecoming  an  impossibility. 
Please  consider  the  fact  that 
the  Hoinecoming  game  should 
be  played  in  the  afternoon.  Play- 
ing the  game  at  night  diminishes 
the  event  greatly.  College  foot- 
ball games  should  be  something 
that  we  can  all  enjoy.  I  strongly 
urge  that  all  future  lUP  Home- 
coming games  be  played  in  the 
afternoon.

conrinucci  from  pufie  H 

We  are  well  aware  thai  many  ol  i)ur  competitors  use 
similar  strategies  in  attracting  new  students  to  their  cam- 
puses. Attracting  their  interest  is  only  the  first  step  in 
this  journey.  Research  studies  show  that  the  key  to  suc- 
cessful recruitment  lies  in  the  campus  visit.  It  is  there 
that  prospective  students  and  their  parents  immerse 
themselves  in  the  heart  of  the  campus  experience.  For 
this  reason,  dramatic  changes  have  taken  place  in  the 
working  conditions  of  the  undergraduate  admissions 
office,  which  is  currently  in  Pratt  Hall. 

•  New  furnishings  and  equipment  replaced  what  had 
been  in  place  for  several  decades. 

•  To  handle  Ihe  dramatic  increase  in  inquiries,  an 
automated  communications  system  was  imple- 
mented. 


•  I'hc  admissions  \icwbook  and  related  publications 
were  completely  revised,  and  graphics  standards 
were  developed  for  all  recruitment  materials. 
Excellence  in  the  package's  graphic  design  was 
recognized  by  a  recent  national  award. 

•  Marketing  data  were  developed  for  use  in  targeting 
counselor  travel  and  hotel  receptions  in  specific 
geo-markets  in  the  commonwealth. 

•  The  assistance  of  faculty  and  alumni  was  empha- 
sized as  critical  to  the  recruitment  effort. 

•  The  creation  of  the  Robert  E.  Cook  Honors  College 
provides  a  unique  living/learning  en\ironment  for 
many  of  our  most  able  students,  as  well  as  high- 
lighting the  academic  traditions  at  the  university. 

While  these  recent  achievements  are  significant  in  the 
road  to  quality,  enhancements  in  other  areas  ha\e  also 


The  Choice 
of  Excellent 
smdeiits 

continued  from  pa^e  8 
excellence.  The  Timc-Princc- 
ton  college  guide  regards  lUP 
as  one  of  the  most  selective 
universities  in  Pennsylvania, 
and  the  most  selective  within 
the  State  System. 


The  Robert  E.  Cook  Honors 
College  now  has  its  first  two 
classes  enrolled.  The.se  superior 
students,  about  100  per  year, 
will  continue  to  average  about 
1300  or  better  on  the  SAT,  and 
also  should  constitute  a  magnet 
that  draws  other  talented  stu- 
dents to  IIIP.  But  we  want  to 
remain  a  university  of  opportu- 
nity as  well,  and  we  plan  to  con- 
tinue to  enroll  about  three  hun- 
dred freshmen  a  year  through 


the  Learning  Center.  These  are 
students  who  technically  do  not 
meet  our  requirements,  usually 
because  of  circumstances 
beyond  their  control,  but  who 
have  qualities  that  make  them 
good  risks.  Among  our  Learn- 
ing Center  graduates  are  some 
remarkable  success  stories.  We 
want  to  preserve  the  llexibility 
that  this  particular  door  affords 
us  in  the  admissions  process. 

At  present.  Penn  Slate  is  our 
single  largest  competitor  for

students,  or  the  institution 
with  which  we  have  the  largest 
"overlap"  in  applications.  The 
University  of  Pittsburgh  is 
next.  In  terms  of  our 
geographic  spread  in  applica- 
tions, ILP  now  is,  along  with 
Penn  State,  one  of  two  truly 
statewide  universities  in  Penn- 
sylvania. Our  strategic  plan 
for  recruiting  is  geared  toward 
strengthening  us  in  that  posi- 
tion as  we  become  the  univer- 
sity of  choice  for  excellent  stu- 
dents in  both  eastern  and 
western  Pennsylvania. 

The  key  is  enrollment  man- 
ageinent.  It  is  difficult  to  man- 
age the  budget  if  you  cannot 
manage  enrollment,  and  it  is 
impossible  to  manage  enroll- 
ment until  we  have  each  year  a 
surplus  of  qualiHed  applicants, 
llnder  the  good  leadership  of 
Ron  Maggiore  and  Bill  Nunn. 
and  with  the  support  of  a  tal- 
ented and  dedicated  statT,  ILP 
is  quickly  getting  there.

coiUributed  to  this  effort.  For 
example,  the  Registrar's  office 
lias  completely  revamped  the 
registration  process  through 
the  use  of  telephone  and  ter- 
minal access.  Gone  are  the 
long  lines  and  hot  teinpers  that 
characterized  this  process  in 
the  past. 

As  the  university's  infor- 
mation systems  are  upgraded 
during  the  coming  year,  both 
faculty  and  students  will  have 
increased  access  to  a  stu- 
dent's academic  and  cocurric- 
ular  records.  This  enhances 
the  advisement  process, 
which,  in  turn,  improves  stu- 
dent retention.  Eventually, 
students  will  have  access  to 
all  pertinent  academic  infor- 
mation through  the  World 
Wide  Web. 

It  is  clear  that  enrollment 
management  is  a  university- 
wide  effort.  Recognizing  this. 

President  Pettit  created  an  Enrollment  Management 
Advisory  Committee  to  review  and  discuss  the  ever- 
changing  higher  education  environment  and  to  inake 
recommendations  for  his  consideration.  One  of  the  first 
successful  initiatives  emanating  from  the  committee  was 
the  support  for  a  workshop  on  Supplemental  Instruction, 
a  method  of  increasing  student  success  and  retention  that 
focuses  on  peer  tutoring  in  high-risk  courses.  This 
method  is  being  introduced  this  fall  on  a  trial  basis. 
Other  recommendations  made  by  a  recent  report  of  the 
Task  Force  on  Student  Retention  are  being  considered 
for  implementation. 

These  efforts  have  brought  about  significant  enhance- 
ment in  our  ability  to  control  the  size  and  characteristics 
of  the  student  population.  As  shown  in  an  accompanying 
graphic,  freshman  enrollment  on  the  Indiana  campus  has 
increased  significantly  over  the  past  several  years.  In 
late  summer,  it  was  expected  that  the  Fall.  1997.  enter- 
ing class  at  the  Indiana  campus  would  exceed  2.000  for 
the  first  time  in  lUP's  history.  This  would  be  achieved 
w  ithout  compromising  quality  in  the  student  body.  Aver- 
age SAT  scores  are  expected  to  rise  modestly  in  the  next 
few  years,  with  more  substantial  gains  in  later  years  as 
admissions  criteria  become  more  selective.  As  the  qual- 
ity of  new  students  increases,  student  retention  will 
improve.  This,  in  turn,  will  also  allow  greater  selectivity 
in  admissions. 

Total  university  enrollment  is  projected  to  be  14.000 
for  Fall.  1997.  a  2.3  percent  increase  when  compared  to 
Fall.  1946.  Of  this,  undergraduates  will  constitute  nearly 
S9  percent  of  the  total,  or  12.425  students.  A  growing 
proportion  of  undergraduates  will  be  freshmen  or  sopho- 
mores, given  the  increasing  size  of  new  student  popula- 
tions in  the  last  few  years.  Significant  increase  in  the 
number  of  minority  and  international  students  will  be 
seen  as  well,  a  result  of  increased  efforts  in  diversifying 
the  student  population. 


The  Road  Less  Taken 

There  are  some  who  ask,  "Why  must  we  change?  If  it 
ain't  broke,  don't  fix  it." 

The  answer  is  both  simple  and  complex.  In  order  to 
pro.sper  as  a  vibrant  teaching/learning  community,  we 
must  plan  for  the  challenges  brought  by  the  changing 
world  around  us.  Consider,  for  a  moment,  some  of  the 
following  significant  issues: 

•  Penn  State  expands  the  mission  of  its  campuses  in 
Altoona  and  other  communities  to  include  four- 
year  programs  and  establishes  enhanced  relation- 
ships with  law  and  medical  programs. 

•  Demographic  projections  for  high-school  graduates 
in  Western  Pennsylvania  indicate  an  increase  of 
only  2  percent  each  year  for  the  next  decade. 

•  The  University  of  Phoenix  cuirently  offers  web- 
based  coursework  to  over  thirty  thousand  students 
nationwide.  The  fifteen  western  states  have  collab- 
orated in  the  creation  of  the  Western  Governors 
University,  designed  entirely  to  deliver  distance 
education  over  the  World  Wide  Web. 

The  road  to  quality,  after  all,  is  not  about  doing  more 
of  what  our  competitors  do  to  attract  students,  but  in 
bringing  light  to  what  is  unique  to  our  university.  Only 
then  will  we  be  able  to  differentiate  ourselves  from  the 
pack  and  show  others  that  taking  this  road,  the  lUP 
road,  makes  all  the  difference.     '^

The  Long  Vlby  to  Greece 


B>  Bub  Fullon 


Moments  after  finishing  her  first  marathon,  Maiy  Alico  made  a  vow. 
There  would  he  no  second. 


In  a  sport  in 

which 

performance 

generally 

peaks  after 

thirty. 

Mary  Alico 

proves  you 

can  get  older 

and  better. 


he  former  lUP 
cross  country 
and  track  stand- 
out refused  to 
subject  herself  to 
another  excruci- 
ating 26.2-niile 
race,  an  instru- 
ment of  torture  more  hideous  than  any 
conceived  by  the  Marquis  de  Sade. 

What  Alico  soon  discovered  is  that 
vows,  like  New  Year's  resolutions. 
are  often  as  fleeting  as  the  lifespan  of 
a  mayfly.  Good  thing,  too.  The 
woman  who  nearly  turned  her  back 
on  marathoning  represented  the 
United  States  at  the  World  Champi- 
onships of  track  and  field  two  months 
ago  in  Athens.  Greece. 

It's  a  scenario  Alico  couldn't  have 
envisioned  in  1988,  when  she  stag- 
gered across  the  finish  line  in  the 
Houston  Marathon,  her  first  attempt 
at  that  distance. 

"When  I  got  to  twenty  miles  1  was 
thinking,  "What  were  people  talking 
about  when  they  said  this  was  so 
hard?  This  is  really  easy,'"  Alico 
recalls.  "But  after  twenty  1  don't 
know  how  I  kept  going.  There  were 
orange  peels  all  over  the  road,  and  1 
could  barely  lift  my  legs  over  them. 
When  1  finished.  1  couldn't  walk  at 
all.  My  mother  had  to  literally  carry 
me.  I  said,  "There's  no  way  I'm  doing 
another  one.'" 

That  pledge  vanished  faster  than  a 
wallet  at  a  pickpockets'  convention. 
.She  ran  a  second  marathon  mere 
months  later,  followed  by  a  third,  then 


a  fourth,  until  she  was  hooked.  Alico 
is  now  a  member  of  the  long-distance 
elite,  so  highly  regarded  that  USA 
Track  &  Field  named  her  Florida 
Women's  Runner  of  the  Year  in 
19%. 

And  what  a  year  it  was.  She  estab- 
lished a  personal  best  of  2:32:42 
while  winning  the  Grandma's 
Marathon  in  Duluth.  Minn.,  and  fin- 
ished third  in  two  other  races,  the 
Twin  Cities  Marathon  and  America's 
Finest  City  Half  Marathon  in  San 
Diego.  Alico  also  qualified  for  the 
U.S.  Olympic  trials  in  the  marathon. 

She  began  1997  by  placing  third  in 
the  national  championships  at 
Columbia.  S.C.  thus  earning  the  trip 
to  Athens,  and  finished  twenty-fourth 
in  a  star-studded  uilernational  field  at 
the  prestigious  Boston  Marathon. 
Only  four  Americans  ran  faster  times. 

Ten  years  ago,  if  a  fortune  teller 
had  predicted  that  Alico  would  one 
day  compete  in  marathons,  she  might 
have  demanded  a  refund.  Despite  the 
fact  that  coach  Ed  Fry  was  a  noted 
marathoner,  Alico  never  gave  a 
thought  to  running  such  distances 
during  her  days  at  lUP. 

"Mr.  Fry  was  inspiring  to  us,"  says 
Alico,  who  competed  in  the  10.000  at 
nationals  as  a  senior  in  1987.  "He  not 
only  coached  us,  he  used  to  run  with 
us  all  the  time.  He  was  always  very 
positive.  He  definitely  had  an  influ- 
ence on  my  running." 

Less  than  a  year  after  finishing  her 
last  race  at  lUP.  Alico  found  herself 
on  the  starting   line  o\'  the  Houston

TELLER  HAD 

PREDICTED 

THAT  ALICO 

WOULD  ONE

IN

SHE  MIGHT 

HAVE 

DEMANDED  A 

REFUND. 
ALICO  NEVER 

GAVE  A 

THOUGHT  TO 

RUNNING 

SUCH 

DISTANCES 

DURING  HER 

DAYS  AT  lUP, 

DESPITE  THE 

FACT  THAT 

COACH  ED 

FRY  WAS  A 

NOTED 

MARATHONER 


Marathon,  worried  she  was  in  over 
her  head.  Curiosity  had  prompted  her 
plunge  into  marathoning,  but  Ahco 
was  admittedly  ill-prepared  for  such  a 
grueling  test. 

"I  had  almost  no  training,"  she 
recalls.  "I  didn't  even  know  what  I 
was  doing." 

Despite  "hitting  the  wall"  at  the 
twenty-mile  mark,  Alico  finished  in 
2:45  to  qualify  for  the  Olympic  trials. 
Her  times  have  dropped  ever  since, 
especially  in  recent  years.  Unlike  most 
other  athletes,  marathoners  generally 
peak  after  the  appearance  of  thirty 
candles  on  their  birthday  cake. 

"My  nmning  has  really  improved 
in  the  last  year  or  so,"  says  Alico.  a 
Walt  Disney  World  employee  who 
resides  in  Winter  Park.  Ra.  "I've 
never  been  able  to  run  this  fast." 

She  faced  the  most  formidable  chal- 
lenge of  her  career  in  Athens,  where  a 
hilly  course  and  the  brutal  Mediter- 
ranean heat  devastated  the  field.  Tem- 
peratures of  ninety-seven  degrees 
forced  Alico  and  twenty  other  com- 
petitors— reigning  Olympic  champion 
Fatuma  Roba  of  Ethiopia  among 
them — to  drop  out.  Many  of  those 
who  finished  were  treated  for  dehy- 
dration. 

Alico  had  hoped  for  better,  of 
course,  but  at  least  she  had  the  honor 
of  representing  her  homeland — and 
her  alma  mater — on  the  world  stage. 
Alico  became  the  first  lUP  product  to 
participate  in  the  biennial  track  and 
field  championships  since  their  1983 
debut. 

Her  journey  to  the  site  of  the  first 
modem  Olympic  Games  no  doubt 
fueled  dreams  of  Sydney,  Australia, 
site  of  the  next  ones.  If  she  keeps 
improving,  Alico  could  conceivably 
wind  up  Down  Under  in  the  year  2000. 

"I  guess  it's  a  goal,"  she  says.  "I 
haven't  thought  too  much  about  it  yet. 
But  it  would  be  incredible  if  I  could 

go." 

Incredible?  That  word  pretty  much 
capsulizes  Alico's  running  career  to 
date.  This  is  a  woman,  after  all,  who 
pledged  after  finishing  her  first 
marathon  that  there  would  be  no  sec- 
ond. 

Mary  Alico  has  since  left  that 
vow — and  many  of  her  competitors — 
far  behind.  "'^

Like  most  professional  baseball 
players.  Bruce  Yard  looked  forw;ir(J 
to  the  milestones  ot  his  career.  All 
except  this  one.  After  four  and  a 
half  seasons  as  an  infielder  in  the 
Los  Angeles  Dodgers'  fann  sys- 
tem. Yard  concluded  he  was  spin- 
ning his  wheels  and  retired.  "I  was 
twenty-five.  I  still  didn't  have  my 
degree  and  I  was  a  long  shot  to 
make  it  to  the  big  leagues."  said 
Yard,  who  was  drafted  by  Los 
Angeles  in  1993,  following  his 
junior  season  at  lUP.  "I  felt  like  1 
was  wasting  my  time.  I  was  out 
there  giving  my  all.  putting  up 
pretty  good  numbers,  and  the 
Dodgers  weren't  giving  me  the 
right  opportunities."  After  batting 
.314  last  season  at  Class  AA  San 
Antonio,  Yard  expected  a  promo- 
tion to  Triple-A  Albuquerque,  one 
step  from  the  majors.  Instead,  he 
was  assigned  to  Vero  Beach  of  the 
Class  A  Florida  State  League.  "I 
thought  to  myself,  do  I  kick  around 
in  the  minor  leagues  for  another 
couple  years  or  do  I  move  on?  It's 
unfortunate,  because  I  feel  like  my 
game  was  the  best  it  had  ever 
been,"  Yard  said.  "Everything  was 
clicking.  I  was  playing  good 
defense  and  I  was  hitting  the  ball." 
In  fact,  he  was  leading  Vero  Beach 
with  a  .309  batting  average  when 
he  retired  in  July.  Yard  has  since 
resumed  work  toward  his  lUP 
degree. 

Bob  Miscik  '80,  M'89  continues 
toeani  his  livelihood  in 
professional  baseball.  Miscik  spent 
the  summer  as  the  Texas  Rangers' 
roving  minor-league  infield  instruc- 
tor, tutoring  prospects  at  the  club's 
affiliates  in  Oklahoma  City;  Tulsa. 
Okla.;  Port  Charlotte.  Fla.:  and 
Pulaski.  Va.

reunion  of  sorts  when  the 
Pittsburgh  Steelers  and  Chicago 
Bears  clashed  in  their  preseason 
opener  at  historic  Croke  Park  in 
Dublin.  Ireland.  Villarrial  started  at 
center  for  the  Bears;  Haslett 
worked  his  first  game  as  the  Steel- 
ers' defensive  coordinator.  He  pre- 
viously coached  with  the  Raiders 
and  Saints. 

lUP  football  alumni  excelled 
indoors,  too.  during  the  summer. 
Wide  receiver-linebacker  Jai  Hill 
'92,  a  three-year  veteran  of  the 
Arena  Football  League,  helped  lead 
San  Jose  to  the  playoffs  after  the 
Sabercals  acquired  him  in  a  trade 
with  .•\naheim.  Hill  earned  Ironman 
honors  as  the  best  two-way  player 
in  his  debut  game,  when  San  Jose 
defeated  Portland.  Michael  Geary 
'94  ranked  fifth  in  the  league  in 
field  goals  (  LS)  and  ninth  in  kick 
scoring  (96  points)  while  playing 
for  the  New  York  Cityhawks.  Ex- 
teammate  JeMone  Smith  '94  spent 
the  season  with  Anaheim  on 
injured  reserve. 

Basketball  standout  Tricia  Ware- 
ham  '97  was  selected  as  lUP's 
NCAA  Woman  of  the  Year  in 
recognition  of  her  achievements  on 
the  court  and  in  the  classroom  and 
her  service  to  the  university  com- 
munity. Wareham  averaged  8.4 
points  and  a  team-high  8.8 
rebounds  per  game  as  a  senior  and 
set  the  school  single-game  rebound 
record  (23).  She  graduated  with  a 
3.16  grade-point  average. 

Molly  Carr  was  accorded  a  third- 
team  College  Division  berth  on  the 
GTE  Academic  All-America  team

Am  Basketball  League  in  Los 
Angeles  and  participated  in  the 
league's  all-star  game.  "He  had  a 
good  summer,"  said  TUP  coach 
Gary  Edwards.  "He  averaged  about 
fifteen  points  a  game  in  that  league, 
where  there's  a  lot  of  pros  and  pro 
hopefuls.  It  was  a  good  opportunity 
for  him  to  show  people  what  he 
could  do."  Flowers  was  considering 
offers  from  professional  teams  in 
England  and  Belgium  as  lltP  Mati-

Recruiting  Center 


By  Bob  I'll  1 1  oil 


Memorial  Field  House,  overrun  of  late  by  new 
recruits,  has  taken  on  the  appearance  of  Parris 
Island.  Only  this  isn't  boot  camp;  it's  preseason 
hasl<elbail  practice  at  lUP. 

Head  coaches  Gary  Edwards  and  Sandy  Thomas 
bolstered  their  programs  in  the  off-season  by  sign- 
ing thirteen  players,  several  of  whom  figure  to  have 
an  immediate  impact.  Included  are  two  point 
guards  expected  to  step  right  into  the  starting 
lineup,  a  scoring  whiz  from  the  Windy  City,  and  a 
center  distinguished  by  his  height — and  his  home- 
land. 

Edwards  and  Thomas  are  blending  these  new- 
comers with  a  corps  of  holdovers,  hoping  to  concoct 
a  potent  formula.  There's  little  time  for  experimen- 
tation: The  season  opens  November  17,  when 
Columbia  Union  (Md.)  visits  for  a  men's-women's 
doubleheader. 

The  success  of  both  lUP  teams  will  hinge  in  large 
measure  on  the  peri'ormance  of  their  newly  arrived 
point  guards.  Thomas  will  hand  the  reins  to  a  fresh- 
man, a  prospect  that  would  prompt  most  coaches  to 
stock  up  on  antacids.  The  challenge  facing  5-7  Toni 
Wolf  transcends  that  of  the  typical  first-year  player. 

"We're  really  going  to  be  looking  to  Toni  for  a 
lot,"  says  Thomas.  "One  of  our  weaknesses  last 
year  was  we  didn't  have  a  true  point  guard.  Toni 
sees  the  court  real  well,  she  can  push  the  ball  up  the 
floor,  and  fundamentally  she's  very  sound.  But  it's 
a  little  .scary  with  a  freshman  coming  in  and  taking 
over." 

You  want  scary?  Edwards  had  to  replace  all-con- 
ference point  guard  Terrance  Flowers,  who  led  the 
Indians  in  scoring,  assists,  steals,  and  shooting  per- 
centage as  a  senior.  He's  found  a  suitable  successor 
in  six-foot  Dwayne  Anthony,  like  Flowers  a  transfer 
from  Division  I  Wichita  State.  Anthony  started  five 
games  for  the  Shockers  last  season. 

"He  has  similar  roots  to  Terrance,  but  Dwayne  is 
a  totally  different  type  point  guard,"  says  Edwards. 
"Dwayne  will  get  everybody  involved  in  the 
offense.  I  don't  see  him  scoring  a  lot  of  points  for 
us.  like  Terrance,  but  I  see  him  setting  up  others  for 
scoring  opportunities." 

Fellow  mid  westerner  Rodney  Horton  should  be  a 
favored  beneficiary.  The  Chicago-bom  Horton.  a  6- 
5  forward,  averaged  7.2  points  per  game  in  three 
seasons  at  Dayton  before  deciding  to  conclude  his 
career  at  I  UP. 

"He  had  some  big  games  at  Dayton — eighteen 
points  against  Louisville,  twenty  against  Xavier," 


says  Edwards.  "He  has  the  ability  to  score  some  points 
and  he  can  do  it  at  a  variety  of  positions.  We're  going 
to  play  him  a  lot  of  places." 

Edwards  welcomes  four  other  transfers:  6-2  guard 
Rob  NoiTis  (Fairleigh  Dickinson);  6-5  forward  Erick 
Stallworth  (Alabama's  Jefferson  Davis  Community  Col- 
lege). 6-4  guard  Sylvester  Macintosh  (Northeastern), 
and  6-11  center  Grahame  Cummins  (Western  Michi- 
gan), a  native  of  Mitchell.  Ontario. 

Cummins  is  not  only  the  first  foreign-boiti  basketball 
recruit  in  lUP  history;  he's  the  tallest. 

"Last  year  in  the  low  post,  people  would  just  shoot 
right  over  us,"  says  Edwards.  "People  are  not  going  to 
be  able  to  do  that  against  Grahame.  He's  going  to 
change  some  shots." 

Scott  Kochenderfer.  a  6-3  guard  from  Lewi^town 
High  School,  represents  Edwards"  lone  in-state  recruit. 

In  contrast,  all  of  Thomas's  recruits  hail  from  Penn- 
sylvania. Wolf  is  joined  by  former  Cumberland  Valley 
teammate  Leanne  Carrolus,  a  5-9  guard;  Beth  Anne 
McDonald,  a  six-foot  forward  who  earned  first-team  all- 
state  honors  at  North  Schuylkill;  5-10  forward  Carrie 
Maitland,  who  scored  1,751  points  at  Gettysburg:  six- 
foot  forward  Nicole  Booths  (Western  Wayne);  and  5-9 
guard-forward  Daashia  Fish  (Freeport). 

"All  these  young  ladies  come  from  winning  pro- 
grams," Thomas  emphasizes.  "I  don't  want  my  team  to 
be  content  with  just  being  at  .500." 

Thomas  expects  improvement  over  last  year's  11-15 
record.  Whether  this  season  brings  an  end  to  lUP's  long 
PSAC  playoff  drought  (last  appearance:  1988)  remains 
to  be  seen. 

"We're  still  going  to  be  pretty  young,"  Thomas  says. 
"1  think  there'll  probably  be  two  juniors,  a  couple 
sophomores,  and  a  freshman  out  there  on  the  fioor  most 
times.  It's  a  question  of  how  quickly  these  young  peo- 
ple adjust." 

An  influx  of  new  faces  places  the  lUP  men  in  a  simi- 
lar position. 

"This  is  still  a  little  bit  of  a  building  year  for  us,  as  far 
as  getting  back  into  the  NCAA  tournament,"  says 
Edwards,  whose  team  finished  15-12  last  season.  "We 
want  to  get  back  there,  but  I  don't  know  if  we  can  pin 
our  hopes  on  a  trip  to  the  NCAAs  this  year." 

Still,  there's  no  question  the  fortunes  of  both  lUP 
teams  are  on  the  rise.  That  flock  of  new  recruits  has 
given  Memorial  Field  House  the  appearance  of  Parris 
Island — and  given  the  Indians  fresh  hope  for  the  future.
