We  know  that 

you'll  remember  most 

not  what  happened, 

but  rather, 

who  it  happened  with. 


We  can  offer, 

at  best, 

a  history  of  the  year, 


minus 


those  special  people. 


Realizing  all  of  this, 
the  1976  Midlander 
is  dedicated 
to  the  people 
of  your  memories. 


FRESHMAN  WEEK 


H 


A  concert,  dance  and  football  game  highlighted  the  jam-packed 
agenda  known  as  freshman  orientation  during  the  initial  week 
of  the  fall  semester. 


The  week  s  activities  opened  with  a  mass  meeting  of  con- 
fused freshmen  and  competent  student  orientation  advisors 
in  Murphy  Center.  Afterwards,  the  new  students  were  treated 
to  an  event  known  as  dorm  mixers. 

Wild  Mountain  Thyme  and  Foxfire  performed  in  concert  to 
a  less  than  enthusiastic  audience  at  the  Dramatic  Arts  audi- 
torium Friday  night. 

But  undoubtedly  the  worst  frustration  occurred  during 
registration  Saturday  morning.  Standing  in  line  which  snaked 
across  Murphy  Center,  some  weary  freshmen  entertained 
thoughts  of  returning  home. 

After  endless  hours,  the  survivors  completed  the  maze  of 
registration  and  relaxed  during  an  extended  weekend. 

Classes  began  Wednesday  morning.  That  night,  the  Ideas 
and  Issues  committee  sponsored  "The  Story  of  Dracula  as 
narrated  by  Raymond  McNally. 

A  second-year  performance  of  "  Mark  Twain  on  Stage    de- 
lighted another  DA  audience  Tuesday  night.  John  Chappell 
brought  the  stage  alive  with  his  superb  portrayal  of  America's 
greatest  humorist. 

A  Friday  night  dance  with  the  Cadillacs  set  the  freshmen 
bopping  to  good  ole  rock-n-roll  music. 

Concluding  the  week  s  activities  on  Saturday,  the  Blue 
Raiders  battled  Tennessee  State  University  to  open  the  1975 
football  season. 


Dressed  up  to  boogie,  freshmen  dance  to  the 
'fifties'  music  of  the  Cadillacs. 


filhen  Charlie  Daniels  announced  plans  to  have 

"Volunteer  Jam  75    in  Murphy  Center,  he  said  he 

was  "inviting  everybody"  in  the  music  industry  to 

show  up  and  perform. 

Although  everybody  didn't  show  up,  there  were 

enough  folks  to  keep  the  concert  going  for  over  four 

hours,  rocking  a  standing-room-only  crowd  into  near 

exhaustion. 

"Buckeye,  "  a  powerhouse  band  from  the  Midwest, 

opened  the  show.  The  six  member  band  fired  up  the 

audience  well,  combining  guitar  and  saxophone  in 

smooth  duels  of  sheer  energy.  Their  hard,  crashing 

set  opened  the  way  for  Daniels  to  take  the  stage. 

Daniels  said  it  was  "one  of  the  biggest  honors  of 

my  life,  being  in  front  of  you  tonight,"  and  the  enthu 

siastic  crowd  greeted  his  appearance  with  thunderous 

applause. 
Daniels  and  his  band  opened  their  set  with  a 
"Tennessee  Waltz"  instrumental,  then  directly  into 
their  hit,  "Whiskey."  With  the  crowd  still  on  its  feet, 
they  rocked  into  the  mellow  "  Going  Back  to  Bir- 
mingham" and  the  powerful  "Trudy"  and  "No  Place 

Left  to  Go." 
Several  members  of  the  Wet  Willie  and  Marshall 
Tucker  bands  took  the  stage  to  aid  Daniels  with  the 
country  sounds  of  "Long  Haired  Country  Boy" 
and  a  new  "He's  a  Damn  Good  Cowboy,  and  I  Hope 
to  Hell  He  Stays  in  Tennessee.' 
Other  strong  numbers  the  artists  performed  in- 
cluded the  Spanish-sounding"  El  Diablo,  "  several

songs  emphasizing  Daniels  on  the  fid^' 
die  and  the  near-classic  "The  Souths     •, 
Gonna  Do  It  Again." 

To  close  out  their  first  part  of  the 
show,  Daniels  and  friends  brought  the 
crowd  back  to  its  feet,  clapping  to  the 
fiddle  strains  of  "The  Orange  Blossom 
Special." 

After  a  short  break  "the  whole  damn 
Marshall  Tucker  Band"  came  on  stage 
and  played  several  of  their  hits,  includ- 
ing "Searching  for  a  Rainbow"  and  "24 
Hours  at  a  Time." 

For  the  last  part  of  the  concert, 
various  artists  joined  Daniels  on  stage  to 
jam  through  several  long  numbers. 
Among  the  performers  aiding  Daniels 
were  Alvin  Lee  of  "Ten  Years  After" 
fame,  Ronnie  Van  Zandt  of  Lynard 
Skynard  and  three  members  of  the 
Allman  Brothers  Band  —  guitarist 
Richard  Betts,  pianist  Chuck  Leavell 
and  the  Brothers'  bassist. 

The  show  roared  to  a  close  with 
Betts  ripping  through  "  Ramblin"  Man," 
everyone  back  on  stage  for  the  old- 
fashioned  "Mountain  Dew"  and  then 
once  again  to  the  Tennessee  Waltz" 
to  end  a  most  amazing  concert. 

Although  it  was  broadcast  live  over 
the  radio  and  recorded  for  a  rebroad- 
cast  on  TV,  there  will  never  be  any 
way  to  recreate  the  excitement  the 
"Volunteer  Jam"  caused  inside  Murphy 
Center. 

You  had  to  be  there  to  really  know. 


HOMECOMING 


tfsii  tiiiml'  ol  70 


"The  Spirit  of  76"  was  the  theme  of  MTSU's 
final  homecoming  before  the  Bicentennial. 

Pep  rallies  and  an  "activities  day  highlighted 
the  week  before  the  game.  Sigma  Chi  won  the 
trophy  for  activities  day,  which  included  such 
old  time  events  as  a  sack  race,  balloon  tossing, 
wheelbarrow  race  and  pie  eating. 

Music  played  a  big  part  in  the  homecoming 
celebrations  as  "Shotgun"  played  for  the  home- 
coming dance,  the  "Temprees  '  provided  music 


for  a  special  performance  for  the  Black  Student 
Association  and  Linda  Ronstadt  came  to  town 
for  the  homecoming  concert. 

The  week  was  not  without  controversy.  A  short 
parade,  marred  by  a  steady  drizzle  of  rain,  was 
made  shorter  because  of  conflicts  with  the  local 
high  schools  which  were  upset  because  of  their 
placement  in  the  parade  and  because  of  a  conflict 
over  the  use  of  Jones  Field. 

A  National  Organization  for  the  Reform  of 
Marijuana  Laws  float  composed  of  a  giant  "joint" 
in  red,  white  and  blue  papers  caused  some  furor 
in  the  community  and  on  campus.  The  winning 
float  was  submitted  by  the  Middle  Tennessee 
Christian  Center  with  the  theme,  'We  Still  Trust 
in  God. 

The  rain  continued  into  the  homecoming  game 
itself,  which  turned  out  to  be  a  big  17-5  victory 
for  the  Blue  Raiders. 

The  rain  didn  t  dampen  student  participation, 
however.  Sigma  Chi  won  their  second  trophy 
of  the  week  for  best  house  decorations,  Monohan 
Hall  won  yet  again  for  the  best  dorm  decorations 
and  Alpha  Tau  Omega  won  the  homecoming 
spirit  trophy  for  the  second  year  in  a  row. 

All  in  all,  homecoming  week  was,  as  usual, 
a  fun  and  interesting  time  for  students  and 
alumni  alike.

ow  that  lithe,  petite  body  like  hers  can  belt  out  a  song 
like  she  does  is  totally  beyond  me.  But  belt  is  what  she  did 
when  Linda  Ronstadt  appeared  at  Murphy  Center  home- 
coming weekend. 
Fronted  by  a  fairly  tight  Barefoot  Jerry,  a^d  a  fairly 
good  Andrew  Gold,  Ronstadt  didn't  get  on  stage  until  after 

10p.m. 

But  when  she  did,  it  was  magic. 

Ronstadt,  known  by  many  as  the  queen  of  country-rock, 

showed  her  receptive  audience  her  total  range  and  proved 

that  she  can  just  about  handle  anything  that  moves  fairly 

fast  or  fairly  slow. 
Doing  such  old  standards  as  Buddy  Holly's  "That'll 
Be  the  Day,  "  Paul  Anka's'It  Don't  Matter  Anymore,' 
Hank  William's  "I  Can't  Help  It  (If  I'm  Still  In  Love 
With  You ),  '  she  proved  she  could  handle  the  old  really- 
country  and  the  old  really-rock  songs. 
Her  renditions  of  'Heat  Wave,  "  "Hey,  Mister,  That's 
Me  Up  On  The  Jukebox    and  "Silver  Threads  and  Golden 
Needles,  "  proved  it  even  further. 


^f^s 


Songs  attributed  to  her  such  as  "You're 
No  Good,"  "Love  has  No  Pride,"  "Long, 
Long  Time,"  "When  Will  I  Be  Loved," 
the  old  Eagles  tune  (her  former  backup 
group)"  Desperado,"  and  Neil  Young's 
"Love  Is  A  Rose"  were  just  as  good  on  the 
Murphy  Center  Stage  as  in  her  albums 
and  other  live  performances. 

All  proving  that  thing  which  sums 
Ronstadt  up  is  that  she  does  rock  with 
feavor  and  country  with  class. 

Though  her  backup  vocals,  including 
show  opener  Andrew  Gold,  were  just 
about  the  tightest  I  have  ever  heard,  Ron- 
stadt just  didn't  have  enough  rapport  with 
her  audience  to  really  get  them  involved 
in  what  she  was  doing. 

Ronstadt  has  the  type  of  voice  that 

takes  you  down  a  long  highway  at  night 

k^hen  you  are  in  the  middle  of  nowhere 

heading  home.  Her  voice  is  well-honed 

sharp  and  mellow. 

The  "piece  de  resistance"  was  her 
encore  song  "  Heart  Like  A  Wheel  ", 
which  in  my  opinion  is  her  best,  in  which 
Andrew  Gold  did  with  the  piano  what 
I  only  thought  possible  with  the  cellt  and 
violin,  on  the  backup. 

Although  she  made  references  to  show 
she  didn't  exactly  know  where  she  was, 
it  didn't  matter  because  she  was  at  MTSU 
and  made  a  dismal  homecoming  weekend 
bright  anyway,  "Goodnight.  Vanderbilt  ".

PINBALL 


A  New  York  lawyer  said  it  promoted  idleness.  One  psychologist  suggested  it 
was  an  outlet  for  homosexual  urges. 

In  spite  of  this  criticism,  pinball  addicts  nationwide  are  enthusiastically 
gambling  those  hard-earned  quarters  and  giving  the  slot  machine  industry 
a  major  sensation. 

Pointing  to  the  number  of  teenage  "games"  rooms  (archades?)  appearing 
in  the  nation's  shopping  malls,  one  pinball  distributor  said  that  all  coin  machines 
are  experiencing  a  rebirth. 

In  fact,  the  University  Center  games  room  has  four  machines  —  the  "Bally 
Flicker,"  "Air  Aces,"  "Boomerang"  and  the  "Wizard"  which  is  based  on  the 
pinball  player's  national  anthem,  "  Pinball  Wizard,"  by  the  Who.

A    n     n     n 


"They  run  just  about  non-stop,  '  according  to  games  room 
manager  Elson  Dennis.  "When  nothing  else  is  running, 
the  pinball  machines  are. 

The  electrical  response  and  the  challenge  of  competing 
against  a  machine  seem  to  be  behind  pinball's  charismatic 
appeal,  he  explained. 

Each  machine  is  adorned  with  flashing  lights  and  pie-bald 
pictures  of  voluptuous  women,  laughing  comedians  and 
daring  men  each  beckoning  the  player  to  pit  himself  against 
the  machine  just  one  more  time. 

Players  slouch  over  the  glass  tops  of  the  machines  watch- 
ing the  shiny  ball  bounce  and  bump  as  it  careens  down 
the  board  amidst  ingenious  traps  and  gadgets  which  flash 
on  and  off  to  the  tune  of  dull  door  bells  and  an  assort- 
ment of  "thwocks"  and  buzzes. 

Once  the  speeding  ball  reaches  the  flippers,  the  player 
sends  the  object  rocketing  up  the  board  with  the  press 
of  a  button  and  the  moist  nudge  of  a  hand  or  hip  or 
what  some  people  call  "body  English." 

He  must  be  careful  not  to  tilt  the  machine  lest  the 
gismo  cut  itself  off.  (Hint:  According  to  Senior  Scholastic 
Magazine,  the  tilt  device  is  on  the  left  side  of  the  machine. 


so  caress  and  bump  on  the  right. ) 

With  the  advent  of  the  space  age  pinball  "video  game 
and  the  demands  of  an  electronical  society,  pinball  is  coming 
out  of  the  smoke-filled  honky  tonks,  pool  halls  and  truck 
stops. 

In  fact,  the  games  have  become  so  popular  that  television 
magnates  have  got  in  on  the  act  and  produced  a  pinball 
t>pe  game  show. 

According  to  one  Atlanta  distributor,  "For  years,  our 
games  —  pinball,  shuffle  alley,  pool  —  appealed  mainly 
to,  you  know,  the  laboring  class.  Now  with  the  video  games, 
you  have  a  broader  patronage. 

"I  mean  a  lot  of  lounges  will  take  a  video  game  that 
never  would  have  let  a  pinball  machine  in  the  door. 

Why  does  pinball  have  such  a  shady  past? 

Apparently  the  colorful  machines  are  still  operating  under 
the  stigma  of  Mafia  rule  in  Chicago  and  New  York  Cit\  . 

in  the  1930  s  police  began  cracking  down  on  the  Mafia  s 
slot  machine  business. 

In  order  to  continue  operation,  the  mob  began  using 
slot  machines  disguised  as  pinball  machines.  Although  lack- 
ing flippers,  the  new  machine  operated  much  the  same 
and  paid  off  according  to  the  number  of  free  games  a 
person  won. 

To  meet  this  challenge,  legislation  was  passed  in  some 
cities  outlawing  pinball  all  together.  In  fact,  pinball  is  still 
illegal  in  New  York  City. 

What  makes  people  gamble  on  the  pinball  machines? 

According  to  one  psychologist,  the  excitement  of  gam- 
bling is  "equivalent  to  masturbation  and  the  "conse- 
quent losses  are  viewed  as  self  punishment  motivated  by 
guilt  over  Oedipal  strivings. 

Well  don  t  tell  a  pinball  player  that. 

"That's  a  bunch  of  crap,  replied  an  indignant  player. 
"Its  a  lot  of  fun.  I  like  to  hear  the  sound  of  that  bell." 

Still  other  players  are  not  so  laudatory. 

"Those  machines  have  little  vacuum  cleaners  which  suck 
up  souls.  They  just  suck  you  right  in  there,  retorted  another 
player. 

Regardless  of  the  reasons  why  people  are  playing  pinball 
there  seems  to  be  a  perceptible  shift  in  attitude  towards 
the  machines.  This  shift  has  led  the  conservative  New 
Yorker  magazine  to  conclude  that,  "The  love  of  pinball 
has  nothing  to  do  with  race,  creed,  or  ethnicity;  nor  is 
it,  strictly  speaking,  a  sexual  preference.  Pinball  is  a  form 
of  solitaire."

DETLEF  KRAUS 


One  of  the  world's  foremost  pianists,  Detlef  Kraus,  appeared  in  concert  at  the  Dramatic  Arts  auditorium  in  October. 

Making  his  debut  at  age  16  in  Hamburg,  Germany,  he  performed  Bach's  complete  "Well-Tempered  Clavier.  "  As 
he  grew  in  his  musical  knowledge,  he  built  a  large  repertoire  including  the  complete  works  of  Brahms  and  Beethoven. 

Kraus  has  been  guest  soloist  with  such  orchestras  as  the  Czech  Philharmonic,  Berlin  Philharmonic,  the  Pittsburg 
Symphony  and  the  Paris  Conservatory. 

In  addition  to  his  extensive  concert  activities,  he  has  been  professor  of  Master  Classes  for  Piano  at  the  Folkwang 
Hockschule  of  Essen,  Germany  for  the  past  13  years. 


"VISIONS  OF 


POWER" 

For  all  those  who  attended,  the  night  was 
spent  totally  enthralled  with  the  presenta- 
tion on  the  DA  stage  —  nothing  was  flashy 
or  elaborate  —  just  two  men  with  simple 
props  who  presented  through  the  blending 
of  music  and  drama  the  writings  of  Carlos 
Castaneda  in  the  program  "Visions  of 
Power.  ' 

Actor  Burgess  Meredith  and  composer/ 
musician  Charles  Lloyd  presented  the  pro- 
gram capturing  "the  terrors,  bafflements 
and  exultations  of  the  "non-ordinary'  world 
of  sorcerer  don  Juan  Matus  and  Castaneda. 

The  captive  audience  had  to  rely  upon 
their  mind  to  actually  see  what  was  happen- 
ing. And,  as  in  don  Juan's  world,  lack  of 
illusion  became  the  best  illusion  of  all.

HAMLET 


Bringing  Shakespeare  "back  to  the  people,  "  is  the 
intention  of  the  troupe  of  the  New  Shakespeare  Company. 
And  that  is  what  they  did  when  they  appeared  in  Octo- 
ber in  the  DA  auditorium. 

"We  are  all  trying  to  bring  forth  the  most  concrete 
human  conditions,  the  real,  the  "now,"  which  lie  and 
underly,  like  roots  of  trees,  at  the  bottom  of  Shakespeare's 
plays,"  according  to  Margrit  Roma,  director  of  the  com- 
pany. 

A  very  unique  departure  from  the  "traditional  pre- 
sentations of  Shakespeare  was  the  use  of  a  recorder 
and  an  acoustic  guitar.  It  made  the  evening  truly  unique.

WHO  KILLED  JFK? 


Nov.  22,  1963  was  a  beautiful  sunny  day  in  Dallas,  Texas.  A  particularly  good 
turnout  of  people  have  come  to  watch  the  motorcade  of  President  John  Kennedy  as  it 

passes  downtown. 

The  motorcade  enters  the  area  of  Dealy  Plaza  and  suddenly  the  beginning  of  a  national 

nightmare  occurs  —  shots  ring  out  —  the  President  is  hit  —  mass  confusion  everywhere. 

Thanks  to  the  medium  of  television,  Americans  know  in  moments  that  something 

has  shattered  their  Camelot  —  they  know  something  drastic  has  happened  to  their 

President  —  and  they  know  that  Lee  Harvey  Oswald  has  been  arrested  for  the  murder 

of  Kennedy.  They  see  before  their  very  eyes  a  man  named  Jack  Ruby  shoot  and  kill 

Oswald  before  he  had  a  chance  to  defend  himself. 

Months  later,  the  Warren  Commission  comes  out  with  their  official  report  of  what 

happened  that  terrible  day  —  Lee  Harvey  Oswald  was  the  lone  assassin  —  three 

bullets  were  fired  —  and  Jack  Ruby  as  a  fanatic  who  thought  his  duty  was  to  kill 

Oswald. 

Harvey  Yazijian  of  the  Assassination  Information  Bureau  put  some  doubts,  as  well 

as  some  spine  chills,  into  the  minds  of  those  who  attended  the 

fascinating  Ideas  and  Issues  Committee  presentation  of  "Who  Killed 

JFK". 

Flashing  hundreds  of  slides  to  present  his  case,  Yazijian  narrarated 

facts  accumulated  through  eleven  years  of  AIB  research. 

Also  included  was  a  showing  of  the  Andrew  Zapruder  film,  which 

according  to  Yazijian,  was  suppressed  by  the  FBI,  along  with  other 

evidence,  until  recently.  Yazijian  contests  the  film  shows  Kennedy  /^ 

jerking  backwards  —  thereby  destroying  the  theory  that  all  the  shots 

came  from  behind. 
The  program  is  presented  on  the  foundation  that  the  Kennedy 
assassination  was  a  conspiracy  and  though  Yazijian  never  came  out 
and  said  who  he  believes  was  behind  the  killing,  he  did  make  some 
suggestions  which  are  indeed  food  for  thought. 


SEYMOUR 
HERSH 


Saying  that  the  press  has  been  "overrated,    Pulitzer  Prize  winning  reporter  Seymour  Hersh  expounded  his 
personal  philosophies  as  well  as  experiences  of  working  on  such  major  stories  as  foreign  and  domestic  spyings 
by  the  CIA,  Watergate  and  most  notably  the  My  Lai  Massacre  when  he  spoke  to  a  sparce  DA  audience  in  Decem- 
ber. 

Hersh,  who  was  presented  by  the  Ideas  and  Issues  Committee,  said  that  journalists  are  not  the  "new  heroes"  the 
public  makes  them  out  to  be.  If  this  were  so,  he  says,  Americans  would  have  known  about  Watergate  while  it  was 
going  on  instead  of  two  years  later. 

The  press  only  presents  the  problems,  they  do  not  solve  them,  nor  should  they,  he  said. 

The  problem  lies  in  the  individual  American  to  change  the  complexion  of  Congress  where  it  really  matters. 

Hersh,  an  investigative  reporter  for  the  Washington  Bureau  of  the  New  York  Times,  has  covered  the  Paris 
peace  talks  and  was  one  of  the  few  members  of  the  establishment  press  to  travel  to  Hanoi. 

He  is  also  the  author  of  "My  Lai  4,"  "Coverup  '  and  "Chemical  and  Biological  Warfare."

The  Who?  Yeah,  that's  right.  The 
WHO!!!  Right  here  at  MTSU  No- 
vember 25  had  been  greatly  antici- 
pated by  most  everyone,  and  neither 
the  horrid  warm-up  act  nor  Daltrey  s 
maddening  circles  could  hinder  the 
high  of  the  near-capacity  crowd. 

The  first  band  was  a  real  joke  — 
Toots  and  the  Maytalls,  that  little  ol' 
band  from  Jamaica.  Their  biggie  was 
"Take  Me  Home  Country  Roads"  done 
raggae  style.  They  stomped  around  on 
stage  for  a  while  and  then  left  —  much 
to  the  relief  of  the  audience. 

The  Who  came  on  and  started  off 
slowly.  For  about  the  first  hour  things 


were  quiet  as  the  four  men  reeled  off 
song  after  song.  Some  of  the  better 
numbers  were  "Baba  O' Riley"  and 
"Behind  Blue  Eyes"  from  "Who's 
Next  "  and  Jimi  Hendrix's  favorite  Who 
song  "The  Spider  ". 

The  second  half  of  the  show  proved 
to  be  the  climax  when  they  did  a  med- 
ley of  songs  from  the  rock  opera, 
"Tommy."  "Amazing  Journey"  was 
the  first  and  the  worst  one  they  did. 
The  second  song  was  "Sparks."  It  was 
about  the  best  one  due  to  the  per- 
fect synchronization  of  the  'eye-split- 
ting' lighting  system.  Some  much 
needed  comic  relief  came  when  Keith

Moon  was  given  a  microphone  and  sang  '  Fiddle  About"  and 
"Tommy's  Holiday  Camp."  "  Pinball  Wizard  "  created  a  stir 
in  the  crowd,  but  not  like  that  caused  by  "See  Me,  Feel  Me." 
Tiny,  penetrating  light  rays  of  red  and  green  panned  out 
across  the  darkened  Murphy  Center.  The  fans  stood  in  awe 
waiting  for  something  more  and  were  not  disappointed.  Rows 
of  lights  on  stage  ripped  through  the  darkness  to  reveal  a  mass 
of  excited  people  clapping  as  Daltrey's  powerful  voice 
stormed  through  "Listening  to  You." 

The  frenzy  died  down  somewhat  as  the  Who  continued 
with  "Summertime  Blues"  and  "My  Generation."  "Wont 
Get  Fooled  Again"  was  the  scene  of  the  second  spectacular 
show  of  lights  as  well  as  the  end  of  the  concert. 

Throughout  the  entire  show  Roger  Daltrey  paced  endlessly. 
Time  and  again  he  demonstrated  his  stunning  skill  at  twirl- 
ing the  microphone  with  one  hand  and  catching  it  with  the 
other.  Pete  Townshend,  not  to  be  outdone,  occasionally  jump- 
ed up  and  down  doing  a  good  impression  of  Chuck  Berry. 
All  the  while  John  Entwistle  stood  placidly  to  one  side  and 
simply  played  his  bass  guitar.  Keith  Moon  did  not  display 
any  of  his  well-known  explosive  nature.  He  just  drummed, 
and  that  proved  to  be  enough  to  win  him  his  fair  share  of 
attention. 

There's  no  doubt  about  it,  the  Who  provided  a  good  ending 
to  an  otherwise  dull  semester.

VERONICA'S  ROOM 

AND  THE  BOYFRIEND 

PROVE  TALENT  BEST  AT  MTSU 


Two  top-notched  performances 
were  presented  by  the  Drama 
Department  under  the  direction 
of  Dorethe  Tucker  that  prove 
MTSU  has  one  of  the  best  drama 
departments  in  this  section  of  the 
South. 

On  opposite  ends  of  the  pole, 
"The  Boyfriend  '  was  a  light,  fanci- 
ful orchestrated  musical  and  "Vero- 
nica's Room  "  was  a  spine-chilling, 
almost  eeriy  play  that  had  the  audi- 
ence holding  their  breath  until  the 
very  last  moment. 

Both  showcased  some  of  the 
best  student  talent  around  and 
left  most  people  wondering  what 
the  Drama  Department  had  left 
for  the  rest  of  the  year.

■  DREARY  WEEKENDS  IN  'BORO  I 
I  SAVED  BY  NASHVILLE  

"It's  Friday  night  in  the'Boro,  most     ^■■^'^"^"^^^^"^■■'^■■■^^^^^^^^^■^■^~^^"™"^^^^^^^^^^^^~ 
probably  raining  like  cats  and  dogs  and  sud-  ^>     ,..*•: 

denly  you  get  this  urge  to  do  drink  a  few  ^      <    , 

drinks  and  maybe  do  a  little  boogying  while  ^  ,       . 

you  are  there — or  could  it  be  you  are  in  5  . 

the  mood  for  a  nice  sophisticated  dinner.  / 

You  have  to  pause  and  think  a  bit — where 
is  there  to  go  in  Murfreesboro?  Still  think-  ,     . 

ing?  Well,  you  better  quit  while  you  are  ■    ""•  *"*' ' 

ahead.  Oh,  of  course,  there  is  always  Monk' s 
(if  you  like  paying  a  steep  cover  charge), 
the  three  movie  theatres,  the  pinball  ma-  _ 

chines  in  the  UC  (which  are  always  crowd- 
ed). Stones  River  Motel  or  Holiday  Inn 
(lounges,  that  is),  but  most  of  these  places  are 
beer-drinking  joints  and  do  not  really  offer  a 
"classy  evening,  "  If  you  drink,  you  are  well 
aware  that  liquor  can  only  be  purchased  in 
packages  (don't  gripe,  that  didn't  happen 
until  five  years  ago ).  So  where  do  you  go? 
Right!  32  miles  northwest  of  us  is  Music 
City  USA,  otherwise  known  as  Nashville  and 
the  savior  of  many  weekend-stranded 
MTSU  students. 
Of  course,  everyone  has  their  special  place  to  go.  A  few  of  these       I     _; 
places  will  probably  be  left  out,  but  just  remember  Nashville  is  a 
fairly  large  place  and  it  would  take  a  fortune  to  go  to  everything. 
But  here  is  a  partial  list  of  a  few  favorites: 
Elliston  Place  (at  the  end  of  Church  Street )  has  a  fairly  decent 
offering  of  night  spots  aimed  particularly  toward  the  college-aged 

single  people.  There  is  TGI  Fridays  which  offers  one  of  the  best       j 
hamburgers  around  —  the  All-American  Cheeseburger  —as  well  as 
great  atmosphere.  Decorated  with  wood  floors,  wooden  chairs  and 
tiffany  lamps,  Fridays  is  not  the  place  to  go  when  you  want  a  quiet 
dinner.  The  noise  is  probably  another  trademark  of  the  place, 
which  is  a  part  of  a  national  chain.  The  waiters  are  very  loose  and 
informal.  Fridays  is  known  for  their  good  drinks,  particularly  their 
whiskey  sours  they  serve  in  beer  mugs.  The  restaurant  recently       . 
added  a  line  of  snacks  —  try  their  cheese  natchos,  they  are  really       I 

out  of  sight. 
The  most  unique  feature  of  Fridays  is  their  "Thank  God  Its  Fri- 
day "  party  held  on  Thursday  nights  which  is  complete  with  party 

hats. 
Moderately  price,  Fridavs  offers  a  fairlv  decent  "get-away-from-it-all"  atmosphere. 
Two  doors  down  from  Fridays  is  the  txit  In  —  a  really  good  place  to  go  and  listen  to  some  really  heavy  music.  The  establish- 
ment is  fairly  well  respected  by  people  in  the  music  business  and  this  is  proved  by  the  entertainers  that  appear  there:  Barefoot 
Jerry,  Dan  Foge.lberg,  Willie  Nelson,  Waylon  Jennings  and  Dobie  Gray  just  to  mention  a  few.  (If  you  are  lucky,  you  may  get 
to  hear  some  really  good  jams  from  unscheduled  entertainers  who  just  happen  to  pass  by. )  There  is  a  cover  charge,  and  at  last 
checking,  food  and  beverages  were  offered.  But  don't  go  there  unless  you  intend  to  go  and  enjoy  yourself. 


^i  Hi 


On  further  down  Church  Street  toward  town  is  Mississippi  Whiskers,  which  of- 
fers some  good  beer  and  entertainment.  It  has  just  recently  come  to  the  attention 
of  many  MTSU  students  —  so  look  for  it  to  rise  in  popularity. 

On  over  from  Elliston  place  is  the  street  which  offers  the  famed  Bluegrass  Inn. 
Nothing  fancy,  but  Hubert  Davis  and  family  most  of  the  time  doing  their  thing, 
as  well  as  the  coldest  beer  to  be  found  in  Nashville.  At  last  checking,  there  was  a 
50  cent  cover  charge.  It  also  seems  that  Vanderbilt  has  invaded  the  sanctum,  but 
if  you  can  put  up  with  people  who  try  to  get  attention  to  shift  to  them,  you  can 
pretty  much  enjoy  yourself.  Don't  go  expecting  anything  else  but  good  ole  blue- 
grass  —  and  you  won't  be  disappointed. 

The  Old  Time  Pickin'  Parlor  is  along  the  same  lines  as  the  Inn,  but  it  is  down- 
town near  the  river.  At  this  time  it  is  open  and  offers  good  old  bluegrass  and  beer. 
(For  those  who  like  the  kinkier  entertainment,  the  massage  parlors  are  numerous 
around  there). 

In  the  shadow  of  Vanderbilt  are  some  good  eating  places.  Irelands,  one  of  the 
three  in  Nashville,  offers  their  famous  steak  and  biscuits;  O'Charley's  offers  some 
really  sensibly  priced  steaks  and  a  bit  more  sophistication  than  previously  men- 
tioned place;  Muhlenbrink's  Saloon  (formerly  Jocks)  is  also  in  that  area. 

Right  smack  in  the  middle  of  town  is  the  new  Hyatt-Regency  which  offers  some 
really  neat  places  to  go  and  some  really  sensible  prices,  too.  On  the  first  floor  is  the 
Blue  Max,  a  discotheque  which  as  really  offers  some  high  class  entertainment  such 
as  the  Buckinghams  and  the  Platters.  There  is  a  cover  charge,  but  the  drinks  are 

really  good  as  are  the  shows. 

Traveling  up  the  glass  elevators  in  the 
30-plus  stories,  one  will  find  on  the  top 
floor  of  the  Regency  the  Polaris  Room,  a 
revolving  cocktail  lounge  which  offers  a 
spectacular  view  of  the  city  through  the 
glass  window.  The  cocktails  are  good  and 
strong,  sometimes  one  wonders  if  perhaps 
that  is  why  the  room  revolves. 

Also  in  the  Regency  is  the  Window  Box, 
a  piano  bar  and  Hugo  s  a  gourmet  res- 
taurant. 
'  On  down  the  Regency  is  the 

_         world-famous  Printer's  Alley,  which  offers 
some  strip  joints  as  well  as  some  classy 


es 


Heaven  Lee  is  perhaps  the  attraction 
for  the  Black  Poodle  and  she  really  puts  on 
a  show  —  well  worth  the  $2  cover  charge. 
But  stay  away  from  the  drinks. 
; Upstairs  is  the  Cabaret  room  which  of- 

fers the  female  impersonators  who  put  on 
really  a  impressive  show.  It  is  a  respect- 
able place,  too. 

If  lounges  are  your  type  of  entertain- 
ment, the  best  one  around  is  the  Lane  Lounge  at  the  Rode  way  Inn  at  1-40  and  Briley  Parkway.  The  Pride  really  puts  on  an  ex- 
traordinary show  and  there  is  dancing  and  cocktails. 

Nashville  abounds  in  good  restaurants:  The  Jolly  Ox  has  three  locations  and  offers  some  really  good  steaks  with  a  fairly  de- 
cent salad  bar  as  well  as  unusual  atmosphere;  The  Smugglers  Inn  on  Murfreesboro  Road  is  in  the  style  of  a 


(continued  ) 


Eurupcan  discotheque  and  though  fairly  expensive,  it  is  worth  it. 
The  Barn  dinner  theatre  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most  unique  entertainment  spots  in  Nashville,  and  it  is  precisely  what  it 

is  named  —  dinner  and  theatre  —  in  fact,  some  of  the  best  theatre  around. 

Marios  and  Viscaya  are  other  good  restaurants  but  with  prices  to  match. 

Of  course,  there  is  always  Krystal,  which  surprisingly  Murfreesboro  does  not  have,  a  Burger  King,  a  Shakey's  and  a  new 

Wendy's  Old  Fashioned  Hamburgers  which  are  really  fine. 
If  none  of  this  appeals  to  you  —  well,  you  can  stay  in  Murfreesboro  and  watch  television.

THURSDAY  NIGHT 

'GET-DOWN'  TIMES 

AT  THE  SUB'S 

TENNESSEE  ROOli 


A  DAY  IN  THE  LIFE  OF  A 
DORM  DIRECTOR 

Knock,  Knock. 

No  joke  this  time.  It's  just  the  beginning  of  another  day  for  residence  hall  director  Merry  Lynn  Starling. 

Merry  Lynn  does  not  fit  the  stereotyped  role  of  a  dorm  director.  In  fact,  she  doubles  as  a  22-year-old  student. 

On  some  days,  the  job  of  a  dorm  director  is  more  demanding.  "At  seven  in  the  morning  —  seven  a.m.!  —  a  girl 
will  knock  at  my  door  asking  for  change  for  the  dryers.  " 

"At  eight  o'clock,  the  housing  office  will  call  to  inform  me  that  a  girl  is  checking  out  of  her  room,"  she  explained. 

"At  eight-thirty,   as   I'm  still  clad  in  pajamas,   the  maintenance  men   will  come  to  fix  a  leaky  sink  in  someone's 
room.  I'll  get  dressed  and  run  up  to  the  room,  "  she  answers. 

"Usually,  the  girls  won't  be  up  so  they  complain,  "  she  added. 

Afterwards,  a  parent  will  call  wondering  where  their  lost  daughter  has  disappeared  to.  After  convincing  a  parent 
that  dorm  directors  don't  check  on  residents  daily,  they  threaten  to  call  the  president. 

"The  heck  with  everything  —  I  simply  leave  for  class,  "  the  director  sighed. 

When  Merry  Lynn  returns,  three  residents  wait  for  a  pass  key,  two  request  room  maintenance  repairs,  the  maid 
reports    stopped-up   sinks   and   the   fire 
extinguisher  man  impatiently  waits  for 
a  guide. 

During  the  afternoon.  Dean  Judy  Smith 
calls  inquiring  about  the  absent  hostess 
the  previous  night.  "I  immediately  set 
up  a  meeting  with  hostesses  and  express 
the  importance  of  their  job,"  Merry 
Lynn  said 

"At  11  p.m.  my  husband  calls.  The 
security  guard  won't  believe  that  he 
lives  in  a  women's  dorm,"  she  grinned. 

At  2  a.m.,  the  energetic  freshmen 
stage  rollerskate  races  that  sound  like 
the  Kentucky  Derby. 

To  top  off  the  days  events,  an  ob- 
scene phone  call  interrupts  a  peaceful 
slumber  at  3  a.m. 


34 


Merry  Lynn  admitted  that  most  days  are  somewhat  less 
traumatic. 

"  In  reality,  all  these  events  don  t  happen  in  one  day  —  but 
some  days  come  close.' 

"The  best  days  are  those  when  nobody  gets  locked  out,  all 
the  dryers  operate,  the  candy  bars  are  fresh  and  everyone 
handles  theirown  problems. 

"Some  days,  I  wonder  why  I  am  here.  But  I  enjoy  my 
job  and  can  relate  to  my  residents  because  I  experienced  the 
same  problems  when  I  was  single.  " 

Merry  Lynn  has  special  problems  due  to  her  age. 

"  People  just  don't  believe  Lm  a  dorm  mother.  At  campus 
police,  1  requested  a  red  parking  sticker  and  they  didn't  be- 
lieve I  was  actually  a  dorm  director.  ' 

"And  .  .  .  knock,  knock  .  .  .  Ld  better  answer  the  door.  "

UNIQUE  CLASSES  DEFY 
'HATE-TO-GO-TO  CLASS'  SYNDROME 

classes  are  usually  a  source  of  great  displeasure  and  heartache  for  the  MTSU 
student.  They  are  annoyances  and  the  most  irksome  disrupters  of  sound  sleep 
and  plans  for  lazy  afternoons. 

However,    there   are    some   courses   offered   that    seem   to   defy   the    run    of 
the   mill   "I-hate-to-go-to-that-class"    syndrome.    Surprisingly,    a   few   academic 
offerings  spur  the  student's  imag- 
ination,    creativity     and     enthusi- 
asm. 

Science  Fiction  and  Fantasy, 
an  upper  division  English  depart- 
ment offering,  is  a  relatively  new 
course  that  has  arrested  the  atten- 
tion of  many  MTSU  sci-fi  buffs. 
Works  by  such  science  fiction  illu- 
minaries  as  Ray  Bradbury  and  Rob- 
ert Heinlein  draw  students  into 
the  worlds  of  futuristic  images  and 
modds. 

For  those   students    who   would 
rather  delve  into  the  world  of  yes- 
terday,   the    Medieval    Experience 
honors  course  has  given   students 
the  opportunity  to  view  the  life- 
styles and  philosophies  of  medie- 
val Europe.  Students  have  trav- 
eled   to    monasteries    and    have 
prepared  and  hosted  a  medieval 
revel    and    banquet   during   the 
course  of  their  studies. 

Students  who  have  wanted  to 
capture  and  freeze  a  special  per- 
son, moment  or  feeling  have 
turned  to  one  of  the  photogra- 
phy courses  offered  by  the  mass 
communications  department. 
Scores  of  camera  buffs  have  com- 
pleted at  least  one  course,  tak- 
ing with  them  some  knowledge 
of  the  art  of  good  photography. 

Jewelry-making  is  another 
course  popular  with  students 
who  wish  to  acquire  a  creative 
skill.  Student  craftsmen,  after 
long  hours  of  painstaking  work, 
have  fashioned  rings,  bracelets 
and  other  jewelry  pieces. 

Two  courses  included  in  the  HFERS  curriculum,  Camping  and  Canoeing,  have  afforded  the  more  atheletically-inclined 
students  a  chance  to  take  part  in  exhilarating  and  physically-demanding  classes.  The  safety,  as  well  as  the  fun  aspects 
of  the  sports  have  been  emphasized  in  these  offerings  for  the  rugged  individual. 

Interesting  courses  are  not  limited  to  full-time  university  students,  as  the  office  of  continuing  education  provides 
various  opportunities  for  persons  to  pursue  areas  of  study  not  included  in  the  regular  university  schedule. 

The  continuing  education  office  has  offered  such  self-improvement  courses  as  conversational  Spanish,  a  program 
for  certified  professional  secretaries,  and  automotive  awareness  for  women,  a  course  designed  to  help  women  better 
cope  with  the  four-wheeled  mechanical  monster.

Courses  dealing  with  practical  approaches  to  parent  education  and  the  Montesso?i 
method  of  education  have  been  popular  offerings  for  those  interested  in  the 
educational  field  and  its  impact  on  children  and  the  family  unit. 

Additional  classes  have  included  the  study  of  woodworking,  folk  and  bluegrass 
guitar  and  five-day  instruction  in  snow  skiing  at  Appalachia  Ski  Mountain  in 
North  Carolina. 

As  several  of  the  course  titles  indicate,  not  all  learning  must  be  done  sitting 
in  a  hard  wooden  desk  in  a  musty  classroom. 

A  majority  of  classes  may  be  viewed  as  drudger\',  encouraging  to  some  students 
that  there  are  a  few  bright  spots  in  the  world  of  formal  education.

NORML  DEBATE 


Marijuana  —  it's  a  harmless  "toke  "  for  the  individual 
who  wishes  to  make  his  own  private  decisions,  or  is 
it  an  evil  seducer  of  youth  into  the  dark  underworld 
of  harder  drugs? 

The  issues  revolving  around  the  uses  of  marijuana 
have  always  elicited  considerable  response,  mostly  emo- 
tional. Everyone  seems  to  have  reems  of  statistics  backing 
his  position,  whether  it  be  pro  or  con. 

The  question  of  marijuana's  decriminalization  was 
brought  to  life  (again)  in  a  lively  debate  sponsored  by 
the  National  Organization  for  the  Reform  of  Marijuana 
Laws  (NORML)  in  October  in  MTSU's  Dramatic  Arts 
Auditorium. 

Some  400  students  and  Murfreesboro  citizens  gathered 
to  hear  George  DeHoff,  local  minister  and  publisher, 
and  Lionel  Barrett,  Nashville  attorney,  speak,  reason, 
rant  and  discuss  the  pros  and  cons  of  marijuana  de- 
criminalization. 

Barrett,  speaking  in  favor  of  decriminalization,  said 
the  government  has  no  right  to  intervene  in  what  a 
person  does  in  the  privacy  of  his  own  home. 

"The  government  doesn't  have  the  right  to  tell  a 
citizen  what  to  do  in  the  privacy  of  his  home  when 
it  does  not  adversely  affect  any  person  or  society,  "  Bar- 
rett said. 

Barrett  further  defended  his  stance  by  contending  that 
there  are  no  reliable  statistics  to  prove  that  marijuana 
leads  to  harder  drugs,  that  the  money  spent  on  enforce- 
ment could  be  better  used  and  that  many  national  or- 
ganizations (the  American  Medical  Organization,  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Churches  and  the  National  Education 
Association)  have  publicly  supported  marijuana  decrimi- 
nalization. 

Speaking  against  the  proposal,  DeHoff  said  that  mari- 
juana should  not  be  decriminalized  because  it  is  a  problem 
that  society  must  effectively  deal  with. 

"Marijuana  is  an  evil  and  harmful  drug  and  its  use  is  a  legal,  medical,  religious  and  social  problem,  the  Murfreesboro 
minister  said. 

.Arguments  cited  by  DeHoff  were  that  medical  evidence  points  to  marijuana's  harmful  effects,  that  every  civilized 
nation  in  the  world  has  laws  governing  its  use  and  that  marijuana  is  addictive  and  leads  to  the  use  of  harder 
druf«

After  preliminary  arguments  were  presented,  the  two 
debaters  engaged  in  rebuttals.  Both  participants  reiterated 
the  remarks  made  during  their  presentations. 

During  the  course  of  the  presentations,  the  audience 
members,  by  clapping,  booing,  cheering  and  other  vocal 
responses,  made  their  opinions  known. 

Most  of  the  "audience  participation"  occurred  during 
DeHoff  s  rebuttal.  Many  of  DeHoff's  remarks  were  punc- 
tuated with  laughter  and  jeering  from  some  of  the  audi- 
ence members. 

At  one  point,  DeHoff  announced  that  he  was  not 
going  to  be  "interrupted  by  a  bunch  of  pot-smoking, 
pill-popping,  beer-guzzling  students.  " 

The  house  practically  came  down  with  that  remark. 
Members  supporting  DeHoff  clapped  and  Amened!  while 
those  "pot-smoking,  pill-popping,  beer-guzzling  students" 
jeered  and  booed. 

During  a  question  and  answer  session  that  followed 
Barrett's  and  DeHoff's  rebuttals,  several  members  di- 
rected questions  to  the  debate  participants. 

Paul  Keckley,  director  of  university  public  relations, 
protested  one  of  DeHoff's  earlier  remarks  and  came  to 
the  lowly  student's  defense. 

"I  am  disturbed  that  people  here  tonight  were  called 
beer-guzzling,  pot-smoking,  pill-popping  students,  "  Keck- 
ley said. 

DeHoff  than  denied  that  he  had  directed  the  remark  to  the  entire  audience,  but  only  to  those  few  who  it  specifically 
referred  to. 

At  the  debate's  conclusion,  most  of  the  townspeople  chose  to  leave  during  a  short  speech  given  bv  John  Shenk 
director  of  the  state  chapter  of  NORML. 

The  evening  of  entertainment  was  closed  with  a  showing  of "'  Reefer  Madness,"  a  1937  anti-marijuana  film. 

It  is  highly  doubtful  that  anyone's  mind  was  changed  about  the  marijuana  issue  at  the  debate.  The  presentation 
became  too  clouded  w  ith  emotional  ravings,  not  clear  and  intelligent  arguments. 

However,  as  a  circus,  it  was  clearly  a  success  |||

LEARNING  RESOURCES  CENTER 


Students  and  faculty  members  find 
the  new  Learning  Resources  Center 
full  of  valuable  educational  aids  rang- 
ing from  microfilm  to  a  room  that  can 
simulate  rain  and  wind. 

The  Personalized  Learning  Lab 
houses  audio  as  well  as  visual  facili- 
ties, a  flight  simulator,  group  interac- 
tion rooms,  copy  machines,  computer 
terminals,  a  test  scoring  machine  for 
faculty  and  special  equipment  for  blind 
or  partially-sighted  students. 

The  Media  Service  stores  the  tapes, 
films,  videocassettes  and  other  learning 
media  for  further  use  by  MTSU  or  the 


three  other  institutions  participating  in 
and  exchange  program,  while  the 
Equipment  Distribution  and  Repair 
Service  center  keeps  the  equipment  in 
working  order.  It  also  loans  equipment 
to  faculty  to  enhance  classroom  pre- 
sentations and  will  give  instruction  in 
its  use. 

The  Instructional  Design  Center 
and  Telecommunications  Department 
each  serve  the  students  by  aiding 
teachers  in  creating  or  revising  courses. 
In  the  design  center,  assistance  can  be 
provided  for  planning,  scripting 
production,  presentation  and  evalua- 


tion of  teaching  materials. 

The  Telecommunications  Depart- 
ment could  then  videotape  any  neces- 
sary programs,  adding  special  graphic 
techniques  to  further  hold  student  in- 
terest. Another  operation  of  the  de- 
partment is  the  cable  TV  system  in 
many  of  the  NCB  classrooms. 

Any  material  other  than  video- 
tapes, films,  cassettes  and  the  like 
could  be  produced  by  the  Materials 
Development  Center  of  Photography 
Services.  In  many  instances,  charts, 
graphs,  diagrams,  artwork,  overhead 


J 


transparencies  and  photographic  services  expand  the  four 
walls  of  a  classroom  and  bring  about  more  vivid  illustra- 
tions. 

One  of  the  biggest  attractions  to  the  LRC  is  the  Environ- 
mental Simulation  Laboratory.  In  it,  temperature,  humidity, 
air  flow,  lighting  and  odor  are  combined  with  360  degree 
film  projections  to  simulate  different  environments.  This  un- 
usual classroom  opens  up  not  only  the  four  classroom  walls 
but  the  student's  awareness  of  lifestyles  in  different  geo- 
graphic areas. 

Another  LRC  attraction  is  the  Multi-Media  Classroom 
with  its  revolving  stage.  Seating  390  students,  the  classroom 
tries  to  minimize  large  group  disadvantages.  One  way  is 
by  providing  a  method  of  immediate  response  and  feedback 
to  students  by  the'  use  of  a  series  of  f|ve  buttons  at  each 
seat. 

A  connection  with  the  university  computer  gives  an 
immediate  analysis  of  the  responses  and  can  tell  the  teacher 
if  his  students  are  understanding  him. 

The  revolving  stage  allows  presentations  to  be  set  up 
in  advance  in  preparation  for  other  classes.  It  also  serves 
as  a  screen  for  tapes,  television,  films,  and  slide  projections. 

Of  other  interest  to  students  would  be  the  sminar  room 
for  small  discussion  groups  of  faculty  and  students,  the 
Photo  Gallery  displays  and  the  easy  access  to  WMOT,  the 
campus  radio  station. 


ST.  JUDE'S  WEEK 


Sigma  Nu  fraternity  sponsored  St. 
Jude's  Week  October  27  —  November 
1,  a  series  of  events  in  which  campus 
organizations  could  pitch  in  to  help  a 
a  worthy  cause. 

In  a  drive  that  netted  nearly  $6,000 
for  the  famous  children's  research  hos- 
pital of  Memphis,  the  fraternity  planned 
a  week  of  several  interesting  competi- 
tions and  events. 

Opening    the    week,    university    stu- 
dents and  administrators  sat  in  a  dunk- 
ing  machine   in   front  of  the  grill   and 
allowed  antagonists  to  throw  three  balls 
at  them  for  a  quarter.  Among  those  in 
the  machine  were  Public  Relations  Di- 
rector Paul  Keckley,  Assistant  Dean  of 
Students      Ivan      Shewmake, 
ASB      President     Ted      Hel- 
berg,     fall     Sidelines     Editor 
Bill  Mason,  and  each  of  the 
fraternity  presidents. 

Other  events  included  a 
hole-in-one  contest,  a  bas- 
ketball-shooting contest,  a 
24-hour  football  game,  and 
a  bike-a-thon.

In  a  special  football  game,  Alpha  Tau  Omega  fra- 
ternity bid  more  money  then  any  other  organization 
and  won  the  right  to  take  on  a  team  from  WMAK 
radio.    The    ATO's    won    19-18    after   a    tough    contest. 

Delta  Tau  Delta  bid  the  second  highest  amount  and 
won  the  right  to  play  Sigma  Nu  in  a  consolation 
game. 

Halloween  provided  another  opportunity  for  fund- 
raising  for  the  hospital.  Many  students  volunteered  to 
participate  in  a  trick-or-treat  escort  service. 

In  door-to-door  soliciting,  ATO  brought  in  more 
money  than  any  other  organization. 

The  finale  was  the  mass  walk-a-thon  on  Saturday 
which  raised  the  bulk  of  the  funds. 

Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  brought  in  the  most  walk-a-thon 
money  by  far,  winning  the  grand  trophy  for  the  fra- 
ternity. 

Sidelines  won  a  special  award  for  exceptional  service 
to  the  drive. 

All  in  all,  the  week  was  a  very  productive  one  for 
a  verv  worthv  cause.

EATING  ON  CAMPUS 


47 


SUITCASE  COLLEGE 


Welcome  to  MTSU,  home  of  the  world's  fastest  student  body  —  fast  at  get- 
ting out  of  town,  that  is. 
Why,  the  instructors  have  barely  shut  their  books  on  the  last  Friday 
class  when  the  great  weekend  migration  begins,  with  almost  all  students 

beginning  their  treks  back  home. 

What  is  it  about  this  school,  with  one  of  the  most 

beautiful  campuses  in  the  southeast,  that  makes  students 

abandon  it  on  weekends  like  it  was  a  leper  colony? 

Many  students,  over  half  to  be  exact,  live  in 

Rutherford  and  Davidson  counties,  which  would  naturally 

account  for  much  of  the  going  home.  After  all,  the 

entire  mid-state  area  is  just  a  short  interstate  drive 

away. 

But  what  about  the  3,000  or  more  students  who  live  on 

campus  and  don  t  have  homes  so  close  to  the  campus?  They 

too  can  be  seen  streaming  out  the  exits  on  Fridays  like 

their  counterparts. 

Well,  let's  face  it.  MTSU  has  the  reputation  of  being 

a  suitcase  college.  It  has  been  rumored  that  the  president 

of  the  American  Tourister  company  is  one  of  the  founding 

fathers  of  the  school.  That  seems  unlikely,  though. 

Murfreesboro  is  the  geographical  center  of  Tennessee, 

but  that  doesn't  make  it  the  entertainment  capital  of  the 

universe.  In  fact,  it's  just  the  opposite,  unless  you 

like  to  watch  it  rain  all  the  time. 

About  the  only  people  who  derive  satisfaction  from 

weekends  here  are  the  fraternity  and  sorority  people, 

but  they  usually  abandon  the  campus  for  the  houses  for 

Nashville  when  things  really  get  desparate. 

There  are  several  solutions  to  the  problem,  but  the 

administration  seems  willing  to  let  this  situation 

continue.  Maybe  they  like  the  peace  and  quiet  caused 

by  the  lack  of  screaming  students  on  campus  during  the 

two-day  breaks.  That  in  itself  should  be  a  good  reason  to 

stay  around,  just  to  bug  the  administration. 

A  "  war  on  suitcases    is  in  order.  Weekend  activities 

built  around  an  athletic  contest  or  a  concert  could  be 

publicized.  Bring  the  circus  to  campus,  or  a  rock 

concert,  maybe.  But  something  needs  to  be  done. 

Or  maybe  we  should  ask  the  legislature  to  change  the  name 

of  the  school  to  Samsonite  State  University.  We  can  call 

our  athletic  teams  the  suitcases. 

Anyway,  a  few  students  are  talking  about  starting  a 

new  business  off  campus.  Anybody  want  to  open  a  suitcase 

store?

On  a  l)leak  and  cold  day  at  Middle  Tennessee  State  Univer- 
sit\ ,  Ebeneezer  Students  sits  in  a  gloomy  corner  of  the  library, 
scratching  awa\  at  his  English  term  paper.  Enter  M.G. 
Cratchitt,  who  cheerfulU  says,  "Good  morning,  Mr.  Students, 
fine  day  isn  t  it? 

"Bah,  Humbug,  what  s  so  fine  about  it? 

"Well,  isn  t  tomorrow  the  da\  we  celebrate  MTSU  spirit? 
Can  t  you  feel  that  burning  desire  in  \()ur  heart  to  shout  and 
scream,  sir? 

"The  onl\  burning  desire  I  feel  is  from  the  heartburn  and 
stomach  acid  I  got  from  the  Grill.  It  s  a  bad  scene,  you-er-dig? 

"I,  uh,  eat  off-campus,  sir. 

"Bah." 

"Gee  willikers.  Mr.  Students,     said  Cratchett,  staring  at  his 
shoes,  "I  was  hoping  that  I  could  con  — ,  er,  ask  \ou  if  I  could 
have  tomorrow  off,  so   I  can  celebrate  MTSU  spirit  with  my 
family  and  Tin\  Raiders. 

"Tiny  Raiders?  Who  in  the  Humbug  is  that?" 

"That  s  my  scra\\n\,  sickK  kid,  sir.  He  still  likes  to  celebrate 
events  like  this? 

"You  mean  he  still  buys  that  sh  .    .  ? 

"Well,  yes  he  does,  sir.  He  s  one  of  the  last  few  who  actualK 
believe  that  such  a  thing  as  a  Spirit  of  InNoKciiient  exists 
anymore  at  Middle  Tennessee. 

"Involvement.  MTSU  spirit.  Bah,  muttered  Students,  pull- 
ing his  tattered  Army  jacket  tighter  around  himself.  "If  I 
could  work  my  will,  ever\  idiot  that  ran  across  the  campus 
shouting  "Go,  Blue  Raiders!  should  be  drowned  in  his  own 
Coca-Cola  and  buried  with  an  ornamental  sabre  through  his 
heart.  Okay,  clown,  since  its  only  once  a  year,  go  ahead  and 
take  the  da\  off  tomorrow,  but  be  here  before  eight  o  clock 
the  next  day. 

"  Bless  you,  sir. 

"Humbug,  With  that,  Ebeneezer  gathered  up  his  books 
and  slumped  out  the  door  back  to  his  dorm. 

.\s  he  looked  up  at  the  number  above  the  door,  he  thought 
he  could  see  the  face  of  his  old  friend  and  one-time  partner, 
Jacob  Concern.  Once,  Students  and  Concern  w  ere  inseparable. 
"Old  Jacob  Concern,  mused  Students.  "Why  Humbug,  he  s 
graduated.  Concern  is  gone  forever.  He  flopped  down  at  his 
desk  and  w  ent  to  sleep. 

Ebeneezer  Students  was  awakened  by  the  sound  of  chains 
coming  down  the  hall.  "Oh.  no,  he  groaned,  "Is  Vince  Vance 
and  the  Valiants  back  in  town  again?  He  sat  up  with  a  start 
as  the  figure  of  Jacob  Concern  glided  in  through  the  closed 
door.  "It  figures,  he  grumbled,  "Just  who  the  Dickens  are 
you,  as  if  I  need  ask? 

"In  life,  I  was  your  big  budcK,  Jacob  (Concern. 

"I  know.  It  s  what  \ou  are  now  that  realK  freaks  me  out. 
You  could  be  nothing  but  my  reaction  to  that  greasy  hambur- 
ger I  ate  for  lunch.  You  ma\  just  be  an  undigested  bit  of  saw- 
dust ..." 

At  this,  the  ghost  shrieked  horribh. 

"Ah,  um,  but  then  again,  you  might  not  be,  heh-heh.  No 
offense  old  boy.  By  the  way,  what  are  you  doing  back  here':^ 

"Im  here  to  try  and  save  your  worthless  mind,  \ou  apa- 
thetic schmuck. 


AN  APATHY  CAROL 

(With  Apologies  to  Chuck  Dickens) 

"You  always  were  a  far-out  dude,  Jake. 

"You  will  be  visited  by  three  spirits  who  will  show  \ou  the 
past,  present  and  future  of  Middle  Tennessee.  Expect  the  first 
one  when  the  bell  rings  for  first  classes."  With  that,  the  phan- 
tom vanished  into  thin  air. 

"Undoubtedly,  all  this  thin  air  is  getting  to  me,  muttered 
Students  as  he  fell  asleep  again. 

When  the  bell  rang.  Students  awoke  to  find  himself  in 
Woodmore  Cafeteria.  Ever\  one  w  as  clearing  out  on  their  way 
to  their  8  o  clock  classes. 

Students  looked  up  and  saw  a  strange  apparition  standing  at 
his  elbow.  In  form  and  figure,  it  was  not  unlike  a  freshman, 
his  short  and  skinny  frame  being  covered  with  a  sort  of  tunic 
of  the  purest  white,  and  his  long  white  hair  hanging  down 
nearly  to  his  waist  with  several  rubber  bands  and  a  no-no 
protruding  from  a  hip  pocket.  He  gave  off  a  brilliant  light 
from  within,  as  if  he  had  SN\alloN\ed  a  lit  candle  at  a  verN  earb 
age. 

"NoNv,  Frat  rush  Nvas  a  couple  of  Nveeks  ago.  Students  said 
under  his  breath,  "so  this  can  t  be  a  put-on.  Listen  Jack,  if 
Nou  aren  t  the  Ghost  of  Middle  Tennessee  Past,  then  Id  appre- 
ciated Nou  not  making  any  sudden  moves. 

"Come,  touch  mN'  robe. 

"Now,  NNait  just  a  minutel  You  ve  got  the  NNrong  guN.  I  m 
reallv  not  that  type  ... 

"I  am  the  Ghost  of  Middle  Tennessee  Past,  dummy,  and 
I  m  not  getting  paid  by  the  hour  so  let  s  begin  shall  we? 
With  a  N\ave  of  his  hand,  the  spirit  transported  them  to  the 
third  floor  of  the  UC  Nvhere  an  ASB  meeting  Nvas  in  progress. 
But  it  was  one  that  had  taken  place  several  long  years  before. 
"  Do  you  recognize  any  of  these  people,  Ebeneezer? 

"Do  I  ever!  That  guy  Nvith  the  glasses  over  there  .  that  s 
Wayne  Hudgens.  Students  chuckled  to  himself  as  the  memo- 
ries came  rolling  back  in.  "Har,  har,  yessiree,  old  Hudg  had  a 
mouth  as  big  as  a  barn  door.  He  d  argue  with  anybody  about 
auN  thing.  I  remember  him  debating  Nvith  a  Nvall  once. 

"And  —  over  there  is  little  Billy  Mason  and  Bennie  Barrett, 
rhey  were  the  first  guys  to  ever  enter  beauty  contests.  They 
Nvere  almost  as  popular  as  the  pig. 

"Hey,  look!  They  re  reading  Sidelines.  Boy,  that  Nvas  one 
heckuva  newspaper  before  it  finally  folded.  They  used  to  run 
socko  editorials  about  the  Board  of  Regents  and  student 
government,  and  stuff  about  apathy  and  hoNv  it  was  going  to 
ruin  everything.  I  guess  they  were  right,  but  it  didn't  seem 
to  matter  at  the  time." 

Students  looked  doNNn  and  saN\  that  the  Clhost  had  been 
staring  at  him  all  the  time. 

"Your  lip  is  trembling.  .\nd  nnIuiI  is  that  upon  Nour  cheek,  a 
tear?" 

Students  muttered  that  it  Nvas  a  pimple,  Nvith  an  unusual 
catching  in  his  throat,  and  asked,  "Where  are  n\  e  headed, 
spirit? 

"Well,  I  thought  NNe  d  go  over  and  NNatch  Ken  TrickcN  run 
the  basketball  team  through  drills,  or    .  . 

"Over  your  dead  body,  fella! 

"What!  exclaimed  the  Ghost,  "Would  \ou  so  soon  put  out 
with  nicotined  hands  the  light  I  give? 


50 


"Voii  bet  your  bubblegum,  shorty.  Students  said  with  an 
evil  grin.  "If  this  is  the  past,  before  everxbodv  stopped  car- 
ing whether  or  not  everything  got  torn  up,  then  the  fire  ex- 
tinguishers ought  to  be  working.  So  sa\ing,  he  snatched  one 
up  and  liberally  douced  the  spirit,  drowning  out  his  light. 
Everything  v\as  dark 

The  bell  rang,  and  Students  woke  up  in  the  Home  Ec 
kitchen,  as  the  others  were  going  on  to  their  nine  o  clock 
classes.  Before  him,  seated  on  a  throne  of  fruits,  vegetables, 
poultry,  fish,  beef  and  TV  dinners  was  the  second  of  the  spirits. 
He  was  a  giant  in  size,  but  he  smiled  benevolently  at  Students 
from  his  jolly  green  visage.  He  beckoned  to  Students  with  one 
huge  hand. 

"(^mon,  Ebeneezer,  \\e  11  have  to  haul  it.  \1\  time  on  this 
earth  is  ver\'  short. 

"Why  is  that.  Spirit ■:"' 

"When  Mrs.  Arthur  sees  the  mess  I  ve  made  of  her  refrige- 
rator, she  s  gonna  skin  me  alive.  He  waved  his  hand,  and 
the\  materialized  in  front  of  a  glass-walled  room  Students  had 
never  seen  before. 

"Where  are  we.  Spirit? 

"The  Administration  Building  Don  t  \()u  recognize  these 
people? 

Sure  enough,  huddled  around  a  desk  inside  was  M.G. 
Cratchitt  and  his  family  of  twelve,  diving  a  Pablo  s  sandwich 
and  a  pickle  between  them.  Students  noticed  that  they  were 
all  smiling,  particularly  an  e.\peciall\'  undernourished  lad  on  a 
stool  to  one  side. 

"That  must  be  Tin\  Raiders.  Tell  mc.  Spirit,  what  can  \ou 
see  in  store  for  him? 

"Unless  somebody  starts  giving  a  damn  about  him,  I  see  a 
tiny  stool  with  no  owner.  He  needs  to  be  cared  about,  Ebe- 
neezer, or  the  boy  will  surely  die. 

"Hmm  Poor  kid.     Students  said,  looking  long  and  hard 

at  the  child,  laughing  and  joking,  oblivious  to  his  fate.  Sud- 
denl\',  the  scene  fades  into  a  blank  wall  (in  need  of  a  paint  job 
at  that). 

.\s  the  clock  struck  10,  Ebeneezer  felt  the  touch  of  a  skeletal 
hand  on  his  shoulder,  and  turned  around  to  confront  not  the 
Ghost  of  Middle  Tennesee  Present  as  he  had  e.xpected,  but  the 
last  of  the  spirits,  the  Ghost  of  Middle  Tennessee  Yet  to  Come. 
"Oh,  are  \ou  the  last  of  the  phantoms? 

The  cloaked  and  hooded  figure  nodded. 

"You  re  going  to  show  me  the  stuff  that  ma\  happen,  if 
nothing  changes? 

It  nodded  again. 

"Very  well,  show  me  the  scenes.  The  Ghost  took  Students 
on  a  nightmare  tour  of  the  school.  Through  bathrooms  with  no 
ceilings,  equipped  with  television  mon iters  and  marijuana  de- 
tectors, past  the  ruined  LRC,  broken  w  indows  and  trash  knee- 
deep  everywhere. 

They  stepped  out  into  the  back  parking  lot,  and  an  unbe- 
lievable panorama  spreads  before  Students.  Here,  a  vandalized 
car,  there  some  coils  of  barbed  wire,  over  there  a  dead  cow 
(he  stares  in  udder  disbelief)  and  weed  everywhere. 

The  spirit  leads  him  past  the  eight  foot  high  speed  breakers 
(crumbling  with  abuse),  a  lonely  grave  on  the  50-\ard  line  of 
what  once  the  football  field  before  football  became  unpopu- 


lar. Ebeneezer  was  trembling  as  he  knelt  before  the  grave.  The 
Ghost  pointed  at  him,  and  then  at  the  tombstone. 

"I  don  t  want  to  read  it.  Spirit. 

It  pointed  again. 
It  it   sa>s.     Here  lies   Ebeneezer  Students,  he  didn  t 

care  nothin'  about  him.  Neglected  to  death'  .  .  Oh,  Spirit,  is 
there  no  wa\  I  can  prevent  this  from  happening?  Is  there  no 
wa\  I  can  avert  this  end?  Hear  me!  I  am  not  the  name  I 
wasi  I  will  honor  Spirit  in  my  heart,  and  try  to  keep  it  all  the 
vear.  Oh,  tell  me  that  I  may  sponge  away  the  writing  on  the 
stone! 

He  made  a  grab  for  the  Ghost,  who  dodged  him  and  en- 
veloped him  into  darkness  ... 

Students  found  himself  unexpectedU  walking  through  the 
NCB  mall.  He  turned  to  the  gu\  next  to  him  and  asked: 
He\ ,  man,  what  time  is  it':^ 

The  hardy  fellow,  replied.  "It's  11  am.  Where've  \()u  been':^ 
If  \ou  ve  got  an\more       . 

But  Students  ignored  the  remark.  "Aha,  still  in  time  for 
lunch!  Tell  me,  have  you  got  a  car? 

"Here,  "  said  Students,  cramming  a  $20  bill  into  his  hand. 
"Go  to  Pablo  s  and  pick  up  a  dozen  roast  beefs  with  cheese. 
Bring  'em  to  M.G.  Cratchitt  and  his  famiK,  and  keep  the 
change. 

"Go,  Blue  Raiders!  "  Students  shouted,  dancing  through  the 
mall. 

.\nd  the  moral  of  this  stor\  is  .  cr,  uni  .  well,  we  don  t 
ha\e  to  tell  \(iu  if  we  don  t  want  to.

DOC  SCARLETT 


To  the  world  at  large.  Doc  Scarlett  is  a  strange,  mysterious  figure  of  fading  bronze  skin  and 
hazy  eyes.  To  his  amazing  co-adventurers  —  the  five  greatest  administrators  ever  assembled 
in  one  group  —  he  is  a  president  of  superhuman  strength  and  protean  genius,  whose  life  is 
dedicated  to  the  instruction  of  school-goers.  To  his  fans,  er,  fan,  he  is  one  of  the  greatest 
teaching  heroes  of  all  time,  whose  fantastic  exploits  are  unequaled  for  hair-raising  thrills, 
breathtaking  escapes  and  bloodcurdling  excitement. 

To  sa>  that  1975  was  a  harrowing  year  for  Doc  Scarlett  would  he  an  understatement  at  the  ver\  least. 

Since  his  retirement  in  1968  (retirement  from  combatting  the  forces  of  evil  under  the  alleged  alias  of  Doc  Savage, 
that  is),  Doc  Scarlett  has  been  working  at  the  helm  of  Middle  Tennessee  State  Universit\.  Working  alongside  Doc 
since  he  took  the  MTSU  post  were  his  amazing  allies  in  adventure  — 

Jonathan  Hood,   the  bespectacled  assistant  who  was  the  world  s  greatest  expert  on  assisting  and  banking. 

Vice  President  for  Academic  .\ffairs  Jack  C'arlton,  "Cap,  his  favorite  sport  was  pounding  academics  into  the 
student's  head. 

Vice  president  for  Student  Affairs  Robert  La  Lance,  ""Robb\,  his  brutish  exterior  concealed  the  mind  of  a  great 
server  of  students. 

Vice  President  of  Administration  L\nn  Haston,  'Lenn\,  was  the  plnsical  weakling  of  the  crowd,  but  a  genius 
at  administration. 

Vice  President  for  Business  and  Finance  Morris  Bass,  "Mo,  once  slender  and  waspy,  he  was  never  witiiout  the 
ominous  black  sword  cane  which  is  now  used  for  support. 

WITH  THEIR  LEADER,  THEY   WOULD   GO  ANYWHERE,   FIGHT  ANYONE,   DARE  EVERYTHING  — 
SEEKING  EXCITEMENT  AND  PERILOUS  ADVENTURE! 

"Back  to  the  matter  at  hand,  said  the  former  Man  of  Bronze  (now  affectionately  referred  to  as  the  Man  of 
Metal  for  the  silver  in  his  eyebrows,  the  gold  in  his  teeth  and  the  lead  in  his  posterior). 

"Our  most  formidable  adversary  has  once  again  made  its  way  to  the  forefront.     Doc  briefed  his  aides. 

"You  mean  — ,    gasped  Robby,  flinging  away  the  briefs. 

"Indubitably,  said  the  big- worded  Johnn\,  "our  chief  means  that  our  old  nemisis  has,  shall  we  sa\,  risen  from 
the  grave  and  reared  its  ugl\  head. 

'"Yes,  "  Doc  muttered  solemnK.  .And  then  the\  heard  the  sound  the\  had  heard  countless  times  before  but  had 
never  gotten  quite  used  to.  It  was  that  indescribable  humming  that  Doc  made  whenever  he  was  thinking. 

"Hmmmm. 

"Er,  Doc,  "  Cap  interrupted.  "How  can  that  be'? 

"Well,  Doc  replied,  "I  first  noticed  the  signs  around  the  fall  of  1973.  The\  were  all  there.  I  should  have  realized 
what  was  happening."  It  was  one  of  the  few  times  in  his  long  career  that  Doc  had  erred. 

All  of  a  sudden,  Mo,  who  had  been  busy  twiddling  his  thumbs,  struggled  to  his  feet  and  w  heezed, ""  M\  God,  — er. 
Doc!"  They  had  all  vowed  to  never  repeat  his  first  name.  ""You  mean  it  s  our  oldest  and  toughest  foe'P 

'"Yes,  almost  as  old  as  you.     Doc  replied.  "It  s  S.I.  D. E.L.I. N.E.S.    They  all  gasped. 

SIDELINES,  that  insidious  organization  who  for  decades  had  tried  to  live  up  to  its  evil  nanu Stop  Instruction- 
Dealing  Educators,  Leaving  Idiots  who  Never  Educate  Students.  The  very  mention  ot  that  infamous  group 
made  the  gaunt  Lenny  shudder.  Lenny  was  the  phvsical  weakling  of  the  six,  and  his  shaking  made  the  others 
laugh.  But  only  for  a  moment,  for  Mo  jumped  in  on  Lenny  s  side. 

"Watch  your  tongue,  you  hairy  hooligan.     Mo  sneered  at  the  brutish  Robby,  "or  III  cut  it  out. 

""That  rustic  thing  couldn  t  cut  butter,     Robby  growled.  ""  III  ram  that  thing  right  up  >  our  — 

"Cut  it  out,  "  Doc  said. "' We  ve  got  work  to  do. 

""That's  what  I  intended  to  do,     Robby  grinned.  Mo  scow  led.

As  Doc  reached  for  the  portfolio  on  his  desk  —  the  meeting  was  being  held  at  Doc's  Fortress  of 
Solitude,  also  known  as  Cope  Administration  Building  —  the  big-worded  Johnny  said,  "Obviously,  we've 
got  to  catch  the  perpetrators  of  this  nefarious  plot  before  they  do  an\  real  damage." 

■"The  damage  has  alread\  begun,"  Doc  replied.  The  bronze  man  then  recounted  to  his  men  the  strange 
and  mysterious  things  that  had  happened  in  the  recent  past. 

Streaking,  the  Bill  Peck  saga  and  se.\  descrimination  in  sociology  were  but  a  few  of  the  tales  Doc  remind- 
ed them  of.  Old  foes  mentioned  were  L.  Harrington,  W.  Hudgens,  G,  Jeter- Barhani,  M.  Gigandet,  P.  \\  est 
and  B.  Mason  and  R.  Edmondson  in  particular. 

"The  most  recent  points  in  case  are  the  Marshalls  (Gunselman  )  woes  and  the  calls  for  student  rights  by 
the  Associated  Student  Body,"  Doc  added.  "Just  let  "em  breathe,  and  next  the\"re  wanting  porno  and 
liquor  on  campus.  Cant  the\  see  we"  re  protecting  them  for  their  own  good":"'" 

■Jumpin'  blue  blazes,  "  Cap  said.  "Your  super-duper  hypno  ra\  must've  worn  off" 

"I  gathered  as  much, '"  Doc  said  sadly,  one  of  the  rare  times  he  displa\ed  emotion  "Im  going  to  have  to 
perfect  my  device. 

So  saying,  Doc  picked  up  his  equipment  and  lumbered  off  to  his  private  chambers,  leaving  his  co- 
adventurers  not  knowing  quite  what  to  do. 

Johnny  practiced  at  his  wordiness  while  Mo  went  back  to  twiddling  his  thumbs.  Lenn\  doodled  while 
Cap  and  Robb\  pla\  ed  tic-tac-toe. 


-Vnd  then  in  December  "75  it  happened.  SIDELINES  announced  that  it  would  work  for  Doc  and  not 
against  him.  The  onl\  casualty  of  the  entire  affair  was  the  departure  of  Johnn\,  who  was  spirited  awa\ 
b\  a  faction  known  only  as  MB&T.  But  thats  another  story. 

"I  just  hope  the  super-duper  hypno  ray  doesn't  wear  off  after  the  spring  semester,"  Doc  muttered  as 
he  headed  for  Murph>  Center.

1975:  INTERNATIONAL  WOMEN'SYEAR 

Women  s  liberation  —  it  connotes  different  meanings  to  different  people,  but  one  tfiing  is  for  certain, 

it  has  changed  the  way  people  perceive  women  s  roles  today. 
An  end  of  the  year  Harris  Poll  records  that  63  per  cent  to  25  per  cent  margin  of  men  and  women  ap- 
prove of  the  efforts  to  change  and  strengthen  women  s  status,  compared  to  42  per  cent  five  years  ago. 
Even  though  people  are  now  willing  to  accept  women  as  equals,  there  is  still  inequality  in  many  areas. 
Women  constitute  40  per  cent  of  the  nation  s  work  force,  according  to  the  Tennessean  but  more  than  40 
per  cent  of  all  emploved  women  are  still  "shackled    to  the  clerical  and  secretarial/receptionist  positions 

and  are  still  struggling  along  on  consummerate  salaries. 
But  women  are  slowly  and  surely  gaining  the  etjuality  which  they  are  fighting  for  in  all  areas  of  society. 
Women  are  becoming  more  involved  in  traditional  men  s  roles  such  as  law  and  medicine  as  well  as  reli- 
gion and  politics.  There  are  18  women  in  the  94th  congress,  one  woman  governor  and  three  lieutenant 
governors,  seven  mayors  as  well  as  many  women  in  state  legislative  positions.  A  recent  Gallup  poll  shows 
that  fully  73  per  cent  of  the  American  public  would  support  a  qualified  woman  for  President. 
Also  included  in  the  consciousness-raising  effort  is  the  awareness  that  women  are  also  becoming  more 
involved  in  crime  —  within  seventeen  days  of  each  other,  two  apparent  assassination  attempts  were 

made  against  President  Ford  —  both  by  women.  The  trial  of  Joan  Little 
brought  to  focus  that  women,  both  black  and  white,  are  almost  defenseless 

against  law  enforcement  officials.

But  things  still  aren't  the  u  a\  feminists  would  like  them  to  be.  The  Ecjual  Rights  Amendment  has  been 
called  an  attempt  to  undermine  motherhood  and  Mom  s  apple  pie,  as  well  as  a  communist  attempt  to 
destroy  the  very  foundations  of  democracy.  But  the  bill,  needing  .38  states  to  ratify  it  to  become  a  part  of 
the  constitution  received  onl\  34  voites. 

"Alice  Doesn't  Day,"  an  attempt  by  feminists  to  have  women  hold  out  all  da\  long  on  everything,  did 
not  draw  the  response  needed  to  make  it  very  effective.  In  fact,  many  clever,  cutesN  chauvani'sts  dedded 
to  capitalize  on  the  day  and  call  it  "Alice  Does"  among  other  things,  some  unprintable. 

The  International  Women's  Year  Conference  in  Mexico  City  put  the  women  in  a  bad  light  as  bitter 
petty  fighting  went  on  over  trivial  issues.  American  feminists  felt  the  conference  did  not  focus  on  the 
important  things. 

But  things  are  getting  better.  Sardi's,  a  traditionalK  male-employed  restaurant,  hired  their  first 
waitress.  As  the  old  cliche  goes,  though,  one  small  step  for  womankind,  one  giant  step  for  humanit\ .

BICENTENNIAL 


As  the  bicentennial  date  nears  in  July,  perhaps 
we  should  forget  the  hoopla  for  a  moment  and  con- 
sider the  reason  for  our  celebration. 
We  are  celebrating  200  years  as  a  nation,  a 
nation  which  provides  freedom  of  speech,  freedom 
of  religion,  freedom  of  the  press,  the  right  of  as- 
sembly and  petition,  equal  protection  of  the  law 
and  due  process 
We  are  celebrating  200  years  of  struggle  and 
strife  in  which  the  country  was  finally  united 
We  are  celebrating  the  ideas  of  government  con- 
structed by  such  notable  men  as  Thomas  Jefferson, 
John  Adams  and  Patrick  Henry  —  ideas  that  have 
proven  to  be  the  most  civil  to  the  welfare  of  most 
citizens.

We  arc  celebrating  200  \'ears  of  democracv  and 
a  go\  ernmenf  that  represents  the  people. 

But  the  true  meaning  of  the  bicentennial  and  our 
founding  fathers  is  buried  beneath  the  gross  misuse 
of  the  traditional  American  symbols  and  colors. 

Merchants  and  advertisers  have  dedicated  them- 
selves to  making  this  a  "bus centennial    \ear 

The  American  people  are  being  continually 
plastered  with  red,  red.  white  and  blue  matches, 
clothing,  furniture,  household  items  and  even  fire 
hydrants. 

The  eagle  and  the  liberty  bell  have  adorned  such 
objects  as  coffee  jars,  calendars,  ties  and  ash  tra\  s. 

Because  of  the  exposure,  sadly  enough.  man> 
Americans  are  already  tired  of  the  bicentennial 
Their  frustrations  mount  when  they  see  a  bicenten- 
nial minute  brought  to  you  by  a  national  oil  com- 
pany. 

If  the  founding  fathers  could  only  see  how  the 
bicentennial  celebration  is  being  handled,  they 
would  wonder  what  happened  to  the  real  .\merica. 

Its  time  to  remember  the  genuine  meaning  of 
the  bicentennial  instead  of  allowing  our  nation's 
birthday  to  become  simply  an  e.xpanded  selling 
season  for  merchants. 

We  must  remember  the  principles  of  this  nation 
and  be  thankful  for  «  hat  America  has  meant  to 
millions  of  free  citizens.

Crowd  sees  Cook  effigy  burn 


by  Tony  Daughtrey 

Memphis  businessman  Ned  Cook 
was  burned  in  effigy  by  the 
members  of  the  Peoples  Bicenten- 
nial Commission  last  night  before 
more  than  fifty  spectators. 

Cook,  who  was  chosen  by  the 
PBC  as  its  second  Tory  of  the 
Month,  was  burned  for  pressuring 
the  Tennessee  legislature  into 
granting  him  a  special  tax  break, 
according  to  a  statement  by  the 
PBC. 

PBC  chairman  Rick  Edmondson 
opened   the    cremation    ceremony

5)  Bribing  grain  inspectors  and

Following  the  reading  of  the

with  leaves  and  decorated  with  the 
face  of  a  pig,  burned  for  several 
minutes  as  students  roasted 
marshmallows  over  the  flames.  The 
fire  was  extinguished  by  the 
Mvu^eesboro  Fire  Department. 

Though  the  majority  of  the 
spectators  expressed  support  for 
the  burning,  a  few  dissenters  were 
present

Professors  criticize  faculty  evaluation 


by  Janet  Basse 

One  English  professor  has  called  the  faculty  evaluation  process 
"ridiculous,"  claiming  that  one  of  his  colleagues  spent  an  entire  week 
filling  out  his  self-evaluation. 
"  It's  like  something  out  of  Catch-22,"  the  professor  qaid. 

He  rapped  the  method  of  evaluating  the  performance  of  MTSU 
faculty  members  vdiich  has  recently  come  under  fire  from  a  portion  of 
the  faculty. 

Another  professor,  this  one  in  the  mass  cooununicaUons  department, 
said,  "The  student  evaluation  was  without  validity.  I'm  very 
disappointed,  frustrated  and  discouraged.  My  morale  has  been  low 
during  the  whole  affair." 

The  method  will  be  discussed  in  a  meeting  of  the  faculty  senate  at  4 
p.m.  today  in  the  Faculty  Senate  office. 

Designed  to  comply  with  guidelines  set  up  by  the  Board  of  Regents, 
the  ultimate  purpose  ofthe  evaluations  was  to  "improve  instruction," 
according  to  Jack  Carlton,  vice-president  for  academic  affairs. 

The  evaluation  process  is  divided  into  evaluation  of  teachers' 
performances  by  department  heads,  students,  teachers  other  than 


responses  mean  what  the  students  want  thei 

Results  of  the  evaluations  will  be  analyzed

MY  DAD  IS  GETTING  OLDER  NOW 

My  Dad 

Is  getting  older 

Now 

And  I  noted 

Friday  evening 

As  we  listened 

To  the  blast 

That  he  could 

Not  remember 

Things  that  happened 

TLiesday  last 

But  he  remembered 

Long  ago 

In  fact,  he  told  me  so, 

And,  well, 

What  could  I   say? 

And  i  noted 

When  he  nodded 

That  his  hair 

Is  turning  gray 

Reflected  in  the  churkling  firelight 

Then  I  noted 

When  he  nodded 

That  his  hair  is  turning  white. 

My  Dad 

Is  getting 

Older 

Now.

THE  SIMPLE  POEM 

Why  does  the  poet  love  the  bird  so? 

On  every  page  turned  it's  there. 

Every  featured  one  known 

from  nightingale  to  sparrow 

Is  it  the  music,  I  wonder 

That  song  so  mdominable 

That  cheep-cheep  first 

In  early  unlit  hours 

Pre-dawn  raucous  music. 

Mockinbird  beyond  mv  window, 

The  great  imitator  runnmg  his  repetoire 

Before  a  sleeping  audience 

It  might  be  the  music 

If  the  poet  could  sing  so, 

naturally,  unconsciously,  perfectly 

In  cacophony  or  harmony 

Or 

Perhaps  it  is  the  wings  the  poet  envies. 

The  flight  taking  the  bird  high 

I  watch  the  marlin  at  evening  flying-- 

no,  not  flying-soaring 

almost  beyond  sight 

circling  wide  in  loopmg  whirls 

Above  me  he  reels 

In  blue,  blue  air,  in  quiet  motion 

Simply  satisfying  his  hunger 

for  insects 

It  must  be  the  flight. 

That  is  the  bird's  poetry, 

its  magic. 

For  even  I 

Can  fool  a  whippoorwill 

Just  whistling  my  own 

simple  tune.

FOOTBALL 

New  Coach  —  New  Optimism 

Keyed  atTSU  Game;  but 

Reborn  in  Last  iVIinute  Rally 

Under  the  guidance  of  a  new  head  coach,  Ben  Hurt,  who  returned  to  his  alma 
mater  after  coaching  at  Houston  for  seven  years,  MTSU  opened  the  1975-76  edition 
of  the  football  team  with  a  new  outlook,  a  new  attitude  and  a  new  hope. 

Some  of  the  optimism  was  keyed  however,  when  the  Big  Blue  took  a  21-14  thump- 
ing at  the  hands  of  new  arch-rival  Tennessee  State.  Tied  at  14  apiece  at  the  half,  the 
Tigers  eventually  marched  95  yards  for  the  game-winning  touchdown. 

Earlier  in  the  second  half,  though,  the  new  head  coach  had  decided  that  his 
Raiders  would  try  for  a  touchdown  on  a  fourth-and-goal  situation  from  the  five  in- 
stead of  taking  a  near-sure  field  goal  that  would  have  produced  a  17-14  margin  for 
the  Blue. 

A  new-found  hope  was  seen  for  MTSU  in  the  play  of  the  offense  as  Mike  Moore 
carried  the  ball  for  90  yards  and  quarterback  Mike  Robinson  completed  seven  of 
18  passes  for  1 15  yards. 

Agressiveness  was  the  word  against  the  Tigers,  and  fans  who  had  witnessed  the 
game  were  aware  of  the  obvious  changes  in  the  team. 

There  were  no  attitude  problems,  everybody  was  fired  up  despite  the  loss,  and  the 
team  was  looking  forward  to  the  1976  game  with  TSU. 

Game  two  of  the  new  campaign  was  against  tiny  Carson-Newman  from  Jefferson 
City,  and  no  one  associated  with  MTSU  program  expected  too  much  trouble 
from  the  Eagles. 

Midway  through  the  game,  however,  MTSU,  stumbled  into  the  dressing  room, 
shocked  by  the  figures  on  the  scoreboard.  It  read  Home-0 —  Visitors-21.

'Miracle'  Occurs;  Blue  Sparks 
Up  to  Warm  Numb  Fans  in 
Trademark  Last  Minute  Rally 

Indeed  the  fans  were  the  same  way.  Unable  to  figure  out  what  had  happened 
since  the  week  before,  Blue  Raider  supporters  had  just  watched  Carson-Newman 
rack  up  316  first-half  yards  behind  the  powerful  running  of  Leon  Brown  and  Andrew 
Pittman. 

The  third  quarter  opened  much  the  way  the  first  two  had  been  pla\ed,  but 
there  was  a  marked,  although  barely  noticeable,  change. 

Something  had  happened.  The  defense  was  making  harder  tackles,  the  offense  was 
executing  blocks  better,  and  the  offensive  backfield  was  running  with  authority. 
As  all  of  these  different  aspects  of  the  game  came  into  focus,  fans  came  out  of  their 
numbness,  and  began  to  scream  for  some  kind  of  offensive  display. 

With  the  support  of  fans  behind  them,  the  Blue  Raiders  culminated  in  a  most 
amazing  comeback  in  the  last  1 1  minutes  of  the  game. 

Bobby  Joe  Easter  opened  the  MTSU  attack  with  a  four-yard  touchdown  run  which 
was  set  up  by  a  61-yard  Mike  More  sprint  at  the  10:12  mark.  A  little  under  five 
minutes  later,  Moore  ended  a  77-yard  drive  with  a  21-yard  jaunt  to  pull  the  Raiders 
within  21-14. 

Following  the  kick-off,  the  Blue  defense  stifled  the  Eagle  attack,  and  limited  them 
to  one  yard.  After  regaining  possession  of  the  ball,  Mike  Robinson  directed  a  touch- 
down drive  highlighted  b\  two  third  down  completions  and  climaxed  by  Easter  s 
three-yard  touchdown  trot. 

With  the  score  20-21,  Hurt  was  faced  with  his  second  crucial  game —deciding 
call  in  as  many  games.  This  time,  though,  there  wasn't  any  other  choice  —  it  was 
either  win  or  lose.

Blue  Nips  Racers  in  a  Hard 
Fought  Battle,  Then  Faces 
Mocs  to  Try  for  Upset 

Going  for  the  two-pointer,  vvhieh  still  makes  college  ball  more  exciting  than  the 
pros,  Robinson  drifted  back  and  whipped  the  ball  into  the  hands  of  Moore,  ending 
a  thriller  which  would  excite  the  heart  of  any  football  widow. 

In  their  Ohio  Valley  Conference  opener  against  Morehead  State,  the  Blue  Raiders 
nipped  the  Racers  12-10.  But  once  again  the  battle  was  strong,  hard  fought  and 
nearly  lost. 

With  the  thoroughbreds  out  front  by  a  score  of  10-0,  Easter  capped  a  73-yard 
drive,  which  was  set  up  by  a  16-yard  burst  up  the  middle. 

Down  10-6,  the  defense  once  again  answered  the  call  to  dut\  by  shutting  off  the 
Morehead  attack  and  forcing  them  to  give  the  ball  back  to  the  Blue. 

Mike  Robinson  then  put  MTSU  ahead  at  the  5:52  mark  when  he  scampered  the 
final  11  yards  of  a  62-yard  drive,  producing  the  final  margin  of  12-10. 

But  wait. 

This  epic  isn't  finished,  for  the  clock  still  said  5:52  to  go  into  the  game. 

Morehead  received  the  kickoff  and  promptly  marched  downfield  to  inch  within 
field  goal  range  in  the  waning  seconds.  The  three-pointer  was  off  target,  however, 
and  the  Raiders  had  w  ithstood  the  last-ditch  attempt  by  Morehead  to  win  the  game. 

Traveling  to  Chattanooga  to  face  a  team  that  owned  a  0-2-1  record  might  seem 
like  an  excellent  proposition  to  some,  but  one  is  quick  to  change  his  mind  when  he 
finds  out  that  his  scheduled  opponent  is  the  University  of  Tennessee  at  Chattanooga. 

Since  the  Raiders  had  no  choice,  however,  the  only  alternative  was  to  go  in  hopes 
of  an  upset,  (continued)

UTCDid  Not 'Waltz' Away 

to  Victory;  but  Had 

to  Fight  Determined  Raiders 

At  the  home  of  the  Mocs,  though,  there  was  to  be  no  upset  that  evening  at  UTC 
racked  up  a  27-10  win  over  the  Raiders.  The  game  wasn't  as  close  as  the  score 
indicated,  however. 

Behind  the  record-breaking  rushing  of  Darnell  Powell,  the  Mocs  jumped  out  in 
front  17-3  at  the  half,  with  Darnell  scoring  both  first-half  TDs.  Michael  Robinson 
booted  a  45-yard  field  goal  as  time  elapsed  for  the  only  Raider  points. 

MTSU  opened  the  second  half  with  a  66-yard  drive  that  culminated  when  Ed  Skin- 
ner pulled  in  a  Mike  Robinson  pass  and  sped  across  the  goal  line  untouched. 

That  pulled  the  Raiders  within  seven  at  17-10,  but  the  Mocs  came  right  back 
with  a  45-yard  field  goal  near  the  end  of  the  third  quarter  stretching  the  score  to 
20-10. 

The  final  margin  came  when  Powell  crashed  a  cross  the  goal  line  with  3:48  to 
play  in  the  game. 

OVC  action  picked  back  up  the  following  week,  and  although  Eastern  Kentucky 
came  into  the  game  nationally  ranked,  they  left  with  the  knowledge  that  they 
had  to  fight  for  the  win  and  had  not  waltzed  away  with  victory. 

Everyone  at  Horace  Jones  field  that  mid-October  eve  knew  that  they  were  in  for  a 
display  of  offenses  when  Bobby  Joe  Easter  scampered  66  yards  on  the  second  play 
from  scrimmage  and  Mike  Moore  scored  seconds  later  from  12  yards  out. 

Eastern  turned  right  around  and  marched  almost  the  length  of  the  field  and 
scored  on  Hal  Emerson's  two-yard  drive.  Their  drive  was  highlighted  when  Emerson 
broke  away  from  Blue  tackles  and  raced  58  yards  before  being  tackled  from  behind 
by  Johnny  Carver,  who  in  the  process,  broke  his  right  foot  and  was  lost  for  the  rest 
of  the  season.

Eastern  and  MTSU  Trade  \ 


for  the  Lead;  but  Eastern  Adds  up 

Final  Tally 

Leads  were  traded  back  and  forth  in  the  game  with  MTSU  pulling  to  within  seven 
with  11:23  to  play  in  the  game,  after  Leigh  Kolka  recovered  a  fumbled  punt  on 
the  Eastern  14-yard  line,  Anthony  Williams  put  the  final  MTSU  points  on  the 
board  with  his  14-yard  reception. 

The  Raiders  were  unable  to  mount  another  drive  in  the  game,  and  EKU  s  Earl 
Cody  accounted  for  the  final  34-24  margin  when  he  kicked  a  35-yard  field  goal  in 
the  final  50  seconds  of  the  eame. 

For  Homecoming,  Murray  State  provided  the  opposition,  and  MTSU  picked  up  a 
17-5  victory  in  what  was  to  be  the  first  of  three  Homecoming  games. 

Although  the  Raiders  gave  up  420  yards,  they  only  allowed  the  Racers  offense 
three  points.  The  Murray  placekickers  missed  four  out  of  five  first-half  field  goal 
attempts  before  finally  giving  up  on  field  goals  for  the  day. 

Mike  Moore  produced  the  only  first  half  Raider  points  when  he  scored  on  a 
nine-yard  scamper  late  in  the  first  quarter.  MTSU  jumped  ahead  on  a  27-yard 
field  goal  by  Michael  Robinson,  but  the  game  was  almost  tied  up  when  a  Murray 
lineman  batted  a  Mike  Robinson  pitchout  into  the  endzone.  Alert  Robinson  hustled 
back  to  the  ball  and  covered  it  for  a  safety  to  make  the  score  10-5. 

MTSU  added  on  final  tally  when  Ronnie  Cecil  picked  off  a  Murray  pass  and 
scapmered  24  yards  across  the  goal  line 

For  his  effort,  Cecil  was  named  the  OVC's  defensive  Player  of  the  Week,  (continued)

Blue  on  Wrong  End  of  the 
y  Stick;  for  APSU  Govs  Provide 
Rout,  but  Tame  WCU 

With  the  way  MTSU  had  manhandled  Eastern  and  Murray,  Blue  Raider  fans  who 
traveled  to  Clarksville  expected  to  see  a  rout.  They  did. 

The  only  problem  was,  MTSU  was  on  the  wrong  end  of  the  stick,  and  a  team 
that  previously  had  owned  a  0-3  conference  record  had  upset  the  Raiders  (2-1  in  the 
OVC)  17-13. 

Well,  upset  isn't  exactly  the  word.  Better  describing  the  action  would  be  word 
"dominate. 

Mike  Moore  (once  again)  was  the  only  man  in  Blue  who  had  an  exceptional 
day,  gaining  164  yards  in  23  carries.  Moore  scored  the  first  seven  points  of 
the  game,  but  Austin  Peay  answered  with  17  points  on  a  TD  run  and  a  TD  pass 
by  Gov  quarterback  Randy  Christophel,  a  walk-on,  nonscholarship  player  who  had 
earned  the  starting  assignment. 

Rick  Steadman  scored  the  only  other  MTSU  tally  on  a  one-yard  burst.  A  two- 
point  conversion  attempt  failed  on  a  pass  complete  out  of  bounds. 

Non-conference  foe  Western  Carolina  was  next  on  the  agenda,  and  the  Raiders 
tamed  the  Catamounts  44-28  behind  the  record-breaking  performance  of  Mike 
Moore. 

Moore's  212  yard  total  broke  the  old  mark  of  200  in  a  single  game,  set  by 
Dwaine  Copeland  last  year  against  Ball  State.  Other  outstanding  Blue  performers 
who  had  a  better-than-average  day  were  Bobby  Joe  Easter,  177  yards  on  17  at- 
tempts; Mike  Robinson,  nine  of  15  yards;  and  Anthony  Williams,  five  catches  for 
55  yards. 

WCU  opened  the  scoring  with  a  nine-yard  drive  which  came  to  the  heels 
of  the  second  Raider  fumble.  MTSU  came  back,  however,  to  even  the  score  at

Blue  Even  at  4-4;  but  When 

Hilltoppers  Invade,  Raiders 

Never  Win  Again 

14  apiece  before  departing  to  the  dressing  room  to  plan  second-half  strategy. 

With  the  third  quarter  remaining  fairly  even,  MTSU  exploded  for  23  points  in 
the  final  stanza  of  action  on  touchdown  jaunts  of  4,  72  and  30  yards  by  Dukes, 
Easter  and  Moore,  respectively. 

The  win  evened  the  MTSU  worksheet  at  4-4,  and  was  unbeknownst  at  the  time, 
the  final  Raider  win  of  the  season. 

Western  Kentucky  came  into  town  like  a  hurricane  and  played  the  same  way  — 
all  of  which  led  to  a  24-10  decision,  favor  of  the  Hilltoppers. 

The  biggest  loss  of  all  came  when  it  was  announced  the  next  day  that  Bobby 
Joe  Easter  had  broken  his  collarbone  in  the  game. 

Western  jumped  out  to  an  early  17-0  lead  before  MTSU  could  get  any  points 
on  the  board.  Actually,  Western  had  to  that  for  the  Raiders  as  a  bad  snap  on 
a  punt  gave  MTSU  a  safety. 

MTSU  put  the  final  points  on  the  board  when  Ed  Skinner  grabbed  a  Mike 
Robinson  pass  for  six,  and  Leigh  Kolka  took  a  two-point  conversion. 

Hopes  for  a  .500  or  better  season  faded  the  following  week  at  East  Tennessee,  as 
the  Buccaneers  powered  their  way  to  a  37-20  decision. 

Mike  Moore  setting  a  new  school  season  rushing  record  was  the  only  bright  spot 
in  the  game.  Moore  surpassed  the  old  record  of  1,053  set  by  Bobby  Young  in 
1953,  by  gaining  194  on  26  carries. 

Moore  wasn't  the  only  one  setting  school  records,  however,  as  ETSU  s  George 
Fugate  set  a  new  school  record  with  220  yards  in  23  attempts  and  three  TDs. 

Although  the  MTSU  offense  did  show  up  for  the  game,  reports  were  never

substantiated  as  to  whether  the  defense  bothered. 

The  season-ending  game  with  arch-rival  Tennessee  Tech  might  be  best  des- 
cribed as  the  most  consistent  game  of  the  season  —  consistently  bad. 

Never  really  in  the  game  at  all,  MTSU  allowed  the  Golden  Eagles  308 
yards  while  managing  only  64.  Western  jumped  out  of  a  17-3  halftime  lead 
with  Michael  Robinson  providing  the  only  Raider  points  of  the  day. 

Tech's  Murray  Cunningham  set  a  new  league  record  for  fieldgoals  in  the  con- 
test that  dropped  the  Raider's  OVC  mark  to  2-5  and  4-7  overall,  lil

Raiders  Finish  in  OVC 
Cellar,  but  Still  ^ 
Vintaged 


Though  they  were  able  to  compile  a  24-16  record 
last  year,  the  baseball  Raiders  of  catfish  levin'  John 
Sanford  slumped  in  conference  play  and  finished  in 
the  cellar  of  the  Ohio  Valley  Conference. 

Murray  State  grabbed  the  title  for  the  second  straight 
year  in  a  three-game  series  against  the  Colonels  of 
Eastern  Kentucky. 

After  opening  the  season  with  a  10-game  stand  in 
Louisiana,  where  the  diamond  Raiders  finished  4-6, 
MTSU  tripped  Athens  College  5-2  in  the  home  opener 
behind  the  hitting  of  Wally  Mathis  and  Chuck  Smith, 
Gerry  Melson  picked  up  the  win. 

But  the  trip  to  Bayou  country  proved  to  be  an 
expensive  one  as  the  Raiders  lost  the  services  of  two 
players. 

Rod  Amburn,  a  junior  catcher,  who  was  off  to  a 
torrid  start,  was  tagged  with  a  broken  hand.  Outfield- 
er Johnny  Murray  broke  his  nose  attempting  to  demolish 
a  double  play.  Both  were  lost  for  the  season. 

As  they  would  for  the  entire  season,  the  Raiders 
relied  on  pitching  and  defense  for  back-to-baok  wins 
over  Olivet  College  and  Wisconsin-Superior  by  scores 
of  5-3  and  2-1. 

Vanderbilt  evened  the  Raiders  worksheet  at  7-7  by 
waltzing  to  a  6-3  victory  over  the  homesteading  Blue.

Regrouping  after  the  loss  to  the  Commodores,  southpaw  fireballer  George  Ploucher  fired  a  s,x-hitter 
at  Millikin  while  upping  his  personal  record  to  4-0,  giving  MTSU  a  four  game  win  string  after  a  pa,r 
of  victories  against  Union  and  double  header  sweep  of  returning  Wisconsm-Supenor  ,       ,,  ^    ,       , 

The  win  streak  was  expanded  to  seven  after  an  avenge-minded  4-2  sinking  of  Vandy  and  a  3-0  shout- 
out  of  the  Tigers  of  Tennessee  State.  <-,       1  J     u- 

Lefthander  Dannv  Neal  handcuffed  the  Commodores  and  fanned  11  men.  Stanley  Shanks  made  his 
debut  a  successful  one  bv  limiting  the  Tigers  to  three  hits  with  the  help  of  several  defensive  gems. 

Ploucher  gained  his  fifth  decision  against  Austin-Peay  in  the  OVC  opener  for  the  Sprmg  season.  But 
the  win    string  was  snapped  at  eight  when  Govs  shortstop  Eddie  Beam  drilled  a  towering  tenth  mning 

home  to  gain  a  2-0  split  for  Austin  Peay. 

MTSU  returned  to  the  winning  trail  with  a  5-4  victory  over  Trevecca-Nazarene.  . 

Upping  the  season  mark  to  18-8,  the  Raiders  used  hot  bats  to  dispose  of  Kentucky  Wesleyan  in  a  twin- 
bill  sweep   19-2  and  6-4.  MTSU  slugged  out  28  hits  in  the  two  games.

maticallv  eliminated  the  Raiders  post-season  hopes,  Bellarmine  swept  another  twinbill  to  add  insult  to  injury. 

Bouncing  back  from  the  defeats,  a  rejuvenated  Raider  squad  smashed  Sewanee  8-2  and  followed  a

The  top-ranked  Bisons  of  David  Lipscomb  stampeded  into 
town,  but  had  to  fight  for  their  hides  before  leaving  with  a 
4-2  triumph  in  the  final  home  game  of  the  year.  Danny  Neal 
absorbed  the  loss. 

After  a  banner  year  in  the  recruiting  market,  the  outlook  for 
this  season  is  considerably  brighter  than  in  previous  years.  The 
possibility  for  an  all-senior  infield  should  ease  the  worries  of 
coach  Stanford.     IM

WOMEN'S  SPORTS 


WOMEN'S  SPORTS: 
EQUALITY  VERSUS  FAIRNESS 

At  no  time  in  the  history  of  sports  has  so  small  a  sport  meant  so  much  to  so 
many  people.  At  no  time  in  the  history  of  sports  has  such  a  furor  been  made 
over  a  sport  that  drew  so  few  people. 

The  subject?  Women  s  athletics,  of  course. 

If  you  can  understand  the  rigamarole  above,  please  understand  that  it  is  not 
a  dig  at  women  s  athletics.  Simply  a  statement  of  fact.  More  like  a  sign  of  the  times. 

The  world  of  athletics  is  no  longer  dominated  by  men.  Not  really.  The  Lad- 
ies Professional  Golf  Association  (LPGA)  and  the  women  s  pro  track  and  tennis 
circuits  have  large  followings  in  their  own  rights. 

And  so  it  is  with  MTSU. 

The  women  s  athletic  budget  has  been  increased  from  a  little  over  $2000 
in  1973  to  over  $15,000  for  this  year. 

Pat  Jones  was  named  to  head  the  women  s  program  at  MTSU  and  was 
named  women's  athletic  director  and  head  basketball  coach.  The  department  has 
four  sports  —  basketball,  volleyball,  tennis  and  gymnastics.  All  of  these  sports 
have  been  increased  to  varsity  status,  and  scholarships  have  been  made  avail- 
able in  all  of  these  sports. 

And  herein  lie  two  main  criticisms  of  the  sports.  How  come,  many  people 
are  asking,  sports  like  women  s  tennis  and  volleyball  have  been  given  schol- 
arships while  wrestling  has  received  none?  Zilch.  Zero. 

How  come,  many  people  are  asking,  women  s  gymnastics  has  attained  a 
varsity  status  while  the  men  s  gymnastics  team  and  the  soccer  team  (or  club, 
depending  on  whom  you  are  talking  to )  have  not  reached  this  level  of  competition? 

And  so,  these  are  the  pros  and  cons  of  the  sport.  My  own  personal  opinion 
is  sich  that  while  the  ladies  should  certainly  be  given  recognition  and  all  the 
things  due  them,  they  could  not  be  given  priority  over  already  established 
sports.  Wrestling  should  not  be  cast  aside  in  the  name  of  quality.  Many  people 
will  call  me  chauvinist,  but  I  call  it  fairness. 

The  women's  tennis  team  managed  only  a  2-3  record  last  spring,  but  ended 
the  season  in  such  a  fury  that  only  better  things  can  lie  in  the  future. 

Identical  losses  to  Tennessee  Tech  and  UT-Chattanooga  by  4-5  margins 
seemed  to  spell  doom  for  the  Lady  Netters  in  the  early  goings.  And  a  9-0  shutout 
at  the  hands  of  Murray  State  certainly  didn  t  help  matters  any. 

But  then  things  began  looking  up  for  the  Blue.  MTSU  took  a  narrow  5-4 
win  over  tiny  Sewanee,  and  the  season  ended  on  a  bright  note  —  a  9-0  trounc- 
ing of  Peabody  College. 

The  Lady  Netters  are  definitely  on  the  upswing,  and  they  have  a  potential 
to  whip  almost  anybody  this  spring. 

With  the  nucleus  of  a  strong  volleyball  team  that  boasted  over  20  wins  the 
previous  season,  the  Raiderettes  slumped  to  a  15-26  record  this  season,  in- 
cluding a  nine-match  losing  streak  at  one  point. 

The  Raiderettes  dropped  their  first  two  matches  to  UT-Chattanooga  and 
UT-Martin  but  rebounded  to  sweep  a  pair  of  matches  from  Trevecca-Nazarene.

For  many  years,  women's  basketball  at  MTSU  was  little  more  than  a  joke.  But 
with  the  advent  of  coach  Pat  Jones,  one  of  the  top  women  s  coaches  in  the  state 
for  many  years,  respectability  has  been  restored  to  the  Raiderettes. 

Jones  had  20  scholarships  to  work  with,  and  with  those,  she  signed  20  blue 
chippers.  In  the  span  of  one  season,  the  women  s  basketball  team  moved  from 
nothing  to  superiority. 

Most  of  the  players  signed  were  All-Midstate,  All-Region,  All-City  or  some 
other  title.  They  included  Stephanie  Johnson,  Diane  Spivey,  Jan  Zitney,  Betty 
Hardcastle,  Sherry  Coker  and  Kay  Green. 

In  their  first  game  of  the  year,  against  Murray  State,  the  Raiderettes  unleashed 
a  powerful  run-and-gun  offense  that,  once  it  jells,  will  have  the  potential  to 
keep  pace  with  that  of  the  Tennessee  Tech  Golden  Eaglettes.one  of  the  top  ten 
women  s  teams  in  the  nation. 

The  women  s  gymnastics  program  has  picked  up  a  full-time  coach,  Linda 
Patterson,  some  more  quality  gymnasts,  some  scholarships  and  with  that,  some 
tougher  opponents.  Leading  the  gymnastics  team  is  Sally  Krakoviak,  who  competed 
in  the  national  finals  in  California  last  year.  Krakoviak  was  the  first  MTSU 
gymnast  ever  to  qualify  for  the  tournament. 


REBUILDING  IN  STORE  FOR 

VOLLEYBALL  TEAM, 

RESPECTABILITY  RESTORED  TO 

BASKETBALL  AND  GYMNASTICS 

TEAM  GAINS  COACH 

At  the  Tennessee  Tech  Invitational,  the  women  beat  Austin  Peay  and  Shorter 
College  while  dropping  matches  to  Lambuth  College,  Morehead,  Carson-Newman, 
UT-Martin,  Tennessee  Tech,  Memphis  State  and  North  Carolina  State. 

Further  losses  came  at  the  hands  of  Tennessee,  East  Tennessee  and  Murray 
State  before  the  women  had  another  win.  A  pair  of  wins  over  Austin  Peay 
and  Lambuth  upped  the  season  record  to  6-14,  but  then  disaster  struck  once  more. 

At  the  UT-Martin  Invitational,  the  record  fell  to  6-20  as  the  Raiderettes 
dropped  six  straight  matches.  The  team  then  split  a  pair  with  Tennessee  Tech 
before  traveling  to  the  Memphis  State  Invitational. 

In  Memphis,  the  women  picked  up  only  one  win,  over  Athens  College, 
while  dropping  three. 

Two  more  losses  came  at  the  hands  of  Tennessee  and  UTC  before  the 
women  split  a  pair  with  Maryville  College. 

Saving  the  best  for  last,  however,  the  Raiderettes  won  three  matches  while 
being  on  the  short  end  only  once. 

Clearly,  some  rebuilding  is  in  store  for  the  volleyball  team.  But  it  really 
has  no  problems  that  a  six-footer  couldn  t  solve.

TRACK 


HARRIERS  POST  'BETTER-THAN 

AVERAGE  SEASON';  NEW 

RECORD  SET  IN  DISCUS  THROW 

On  the  surface,   MTSU's  track  team  had  just  a  little  better  than  average 

season    last    spring.    The    season    produced    a   3-2-1    record    which    is   three 

first-place   finishes,    two   second-place    finishes   and   one   third-place    finish. 

The  outdoor  season  opened  at  home  against   Miami  of  Ohio,  and  MTSU 

notched  a  75-65  victory. 

In  that  meet,  Nigerian  Harrison  Salami  set  a  new  school  record  in  the 
discus  with  a  toss  of  168  feet,  three  inches.  Ekido  Macaulay  and  Charles 
Hollis  scored  top  honors  in  the  long  jump  and  triple  jump,  and  Russell 
Holloway  swept  first  place  in  the  120-yard  high  hurdles  and  440-yard 
intermediate  hurdles. 

John  Johnson  won  the  440-yard  and  220-yard  sprints  with  times  of  49.1 
and  23.4  seconds,  respectively. 

The  Raiders  hosted  a  "quadrangular'  or  four-way-meet  next,  and  took  the 
top  prize,  outdistancing  the  rest  of  the  pack  with  64  points.  Eastern 
Kentucky  was  second  with  46.5  points,  and  East  Tennessee  third  with  42.5 
points.  Notre  Dame  finished  last,  managing  32  points,  or  half  of  the  Raiders 
point  tally. 

Highlighted  for  the  Raiders  were  John  Johnson's  48.9  time  in  the  440-yard 
dash,  his  22-second-flat  time  in  the  220-yard  dash,  and  Henry  Kennedy's 
9.8  time  in  the  100-yard  dash. 

David  Lipscomb,  Cincinnati  and  Memphis  State  made  an  appearance  in 
Murfceesboro  next,  and  the  Raiders  could  only  manage  a  second-place 
finish  on  50  points  with  the  Bisons  of  David  Lipscomb  College  taking  first 
with  55.5  points. 

Cincinnati  was  third  with  38.5  points,  followed  by  Memphis  State  with  38.

MTSU  FINISHES  FOURTH  IN  OVC 

Johnson  and  Salami  were  the  only  Raiders  to  finish  in  first  place.  Johnson 
won  the  440  in  48.2  seconds,  and  Salami  captured  the  discus  with  a  heave  of 
157  feet,  two  inches. 

At  Auburn,  the  host  Tigers  outdistanced  the  rest  of  the  pack,  scoring  81  team 
points.  Furman  University  was  in  a  distant  second  place  with  45  points,  fol 
lowed  by  MTSU  and  Troy  State  University  with  40  points  apiece. 

The  Raiders  also  suffered  another  setback  when  they  traveled  to  Murray,  Ky., 
to  challenge  the  Racers.  MTSU  came  up  on  the  short  end,  falling  by  an  86-55 
margin. 

MTSU  rebounded  the  following  week  at  home,  whipping  Tennessee  Tech  in  a 
narrow  contest  72-69. 

MTSU  went  into  the  contest  as  27-point  underdogs,  but  jumped  out  to  an 
early  21-20  lead  on  the  efforts  of  James  Key,  who  captured  first  place  in  the  mile 
run  with  a  time  of  4:13.5. 

Other  first  place  winners  for  the  Raiders  were  Salami,  Macaulay  and  Mollis. 

A  key  factor  in  the  win  for  the  Blue  was  when  Johnson,  Ronnie  Robinson  and 
Larry  Cotton  captured  1,  2,  3  in  the  40-yard  dash. 

The  meet  was  won  when  the  mile  relay  team,  consisting  of  Cotton,  Robinson, 
Bill  Moore  and  Johnson,  breezed  past  opponents  in  a  time  of  3:17.1. 

In  the  Tennessee  Intercollegiate  Athletic  Conference  Championships  at  Memphis 
State,  the  Blue  Raiders  managed  a  second-place  team  finish. 

MTSU  finished  in  fourth  place  in  the  Ohio  Valley  Conference  Championships. 
Once  again.  Western  Kentucky  grabbed  top  honors.

Cross-country  for  1975  opened  the  season  on  rather  shaky  ground,  and  ended 
it  about  the  same  way;  Rather  shakily. 

The  harriers  started  off  on  the  right  foot  with  a  23-.'32  victory  (in  cross-coun- 
try, the  low  score  wins)  over  Fisk  University  but  almost  immediately  stumbled 
once  out  of  the  starting  gate. 

James  Key,  a  Murfreesboro  native  in  his  final  year  at  MTSU,  and  freshman 
John  Timberlake  ended  the  Fisk  matchup  in  a  virtual  tie  for  first  for  place  for 
the  Raiders  with  a  time  of  33:41. 

Raider  runners  Mike  O'Hara,  Ed  Capron  and  Pete  Pihko  captured  the  fifth,  sixth 
and  seventh  positions  in  the  match. 

In  the  next  race,  things  didn't  work  out  quite  so  well  for  the  Raiders.  MTSU 
traveled  to  Cookeville  undefeated  but  scampered  back  nearly  demolished.  Three 
Golden  Eagles  crossed  the  finish  line  at  the  same  time  —  holding  hands,  no 
less.  The  crushing  17-46  defeat  might  well  be  the  straw  that  broke  the  camel's  back, 
as  it  paved  the  way  for  things  to  come. 

MTSU's  next  try  produced  a  sixth  place  finish  in  the  David  Lipscomb  In- 
vitational. Timberlake  finished  eighth  in  the  meet  while  Key  took  the  15th  position. 

The  Raiders  earned  a  fifth  place  finish  at  the  Bradshaw  Invitational  the  fol- 
lowing week  behind  Key  and  Timberlake,  who  came  in  eighth  and  Uth  individually. 

Dual  meet  action  resumed  against  Vanderbilt,  and  although  Timberlake  took 
first  place,  the  Raiders  dropped  the  contest  by  23-34.  Timberlake  crossed  the 
victory  stripe  in  21  minutes  flat,  but  no  other  Raider  finished  higher  than  fifth. 

In  the  next  race,  David  Lipscomb  College  downed  the  Raiders  by  a  26-29 
margin.  MTSU  ran  without  its  two  top  runners  but  almost  came  away  with  a 
victor). 

A  seventh  place  finish  for  the  Raiders  in  the  Tennessee  Intercollegiate  Athletic 
Conference  Championships  was  next  on  the  agenda,  and  once  again  MTSU  was 
hurt  by  runners  dropping  out.  John  Timberlake  finished  24th  individually  with 
teammate  James  Key  winding  up 25th. 

An  all-time  low  was  set  by  MTSU  in  the  Ohio  Valley  Conference  cross-country 
championships  as  the  Raiders,  on  their  way  to  a  last  place  finish,  captured  three 
of  the  last  five  places  in  the  meet.  MTSU  finished  the  season  with  a  1-3  dual 
meet  record.  |||

TENNIS 

CASTLE'S  LAST  RECORD  17-3 
ONLY  TO  LEAVE  AT 
END  OF  SEASON 

Tennis  at  MTSU  last  spring  was  one  of  the  most  successful  campaigns  of  coacfi 
Larry  Castles  career  at  MTSU.  The  final  standings  showed  the  Raiders  sporting 
a  17-3  record;  two  of  those  losses  were  to  Ohio  Vallev  Conference  opponents 
Western  Kentucky  and  Austin  Peay. 

The    Blue    Raider  netters   spurted   to   a  quick  9-0  record,    including   wins   over 
powerhouses  Cincinnati,  Tulane,  Central  Michigan,  UT-Chattanooga,  Vanderbilt 
and  Murray  State. 

In  an  early  OVC  showdown  with  Western  Kentucky  which  would  decide 
MTSU's  fate  in  the  conference,  the  Hilltoppers  emerged  victorious,  6-3. 

The  only  non-conference  loss  came  at  UT-Chattanooga  in  a  rematch  of  an 
earlier  contest  which  the  Raiders  had  won.  This  time,  however,  the  shoe  was  on 
the  other  foot  and  the  Mocs  escaped  with  a  5-4  win. 

MTSU  got  back  on  the  winning  track  with  wins  over  league  foes  Tennessee 
Tech,  East  Tennessee,  Morehead  State  and  Eastern  Kentucky. 

At  this  point,  the  Raiders  were  in  sole  possession  of  second  place  in  conference 
play.  But  then,  meddlesome  Austin  Peay  made  an  appearance  on  the  MTSU 
courts,  and  walked  away  with  a  win. 

In  the  OVC  Championship  tournament  in  Richmond,  Kv.,  MTSU  finished  in 
third  place.  Over  the  summer,  coach  Larrv  Castle  announced  that  he  was  moving 
on  down  the  road  to  Florida  State.  The  athletic  department  said  that  no  head  coach 
would  be  named  to  replace  Castle  and  that  Australian  Clvde  Smithwich  would 
take  over  coaching  duties

WRESTLING 

WRESTLING  TEAM:  HARD  LUCK 

FOR  COACH,  TEAM  AND  BUDGET 

BUT  MAY  BE  MTSU'S  HARD  LUCK 

In  almost  every  situation  of  life,  there  is  bound  to  be  one  or  two  hard  luck 
stories.  Such  is  the  case  in  the  Middle  Tennessee  State  University  athletic  department. 

The  victim?  The  wrestling  team. 

From  a  quiet  beginning,  wrestling  has  boomed  into  the  sports  program  at 
MTSU  with  the  toughest  schedule  now  or  at  any  time  in  the  past. 

Because  of  a  basic  lack  of  interest,  officials  at  MTSU  decided  to  drop  wrestling 
from  the  intercollegiate  program  approximately  20  years  ago.  Three  years  ago, 
the  program  was  revived,  and  Gordon  Connell,  one  of  the  state' s  brightest  and 
youngest  coaches  on  the  high  school  level,  was  brought  in  to  head  the  program. 

At  the  time,  Connell  was  faced  with  little  interest  by  administrators  and  stu- 
dents alike.  More  importantly,  he  was  faced  with  no  scholarships. 

How  can  you  recruit  quality  athletes  with  no  scholarships?  Good  question, 
because  today  the  situation  is  still  much  the  same. 

Connell  still  has  no  scholarships  to  work  with  despite  the  fact  that  —  aw,  heck, 
this  is  really  getting  nowhere.  It  is  much  simpler  to  state  the  facts  and  let  them 
speak  for  themselves. 

Looking  down  a  list  of  the  1975-76  opponents,  one  sees  such  impressive  names 
as  Tennessee,  UT-Chattanooga,  Virginia  Tech,  Auburn,  Georgia,  Georgia  Tech, 
Notre  Dame,  DePaul,  Cincinnati,  Eastern  Kentucky,  Georgetown,  Kentucky  and 
Alabama. 

Connell  operates  on  a  smaller  budget  than  many  sports  have  here,  but 
that  doesn't  seem  to  bother  him. 

As  for  recruiting,  the  only  reason,  quite  frankly,  MTSU  has  gotten  some  of  its 
wrestlers  is  on  Connells  reputation  alone. 

The  honest  truth  is  that  Gordon  Connell  is  too  good  for  a  school  of  MTSU  s 
calibre,  and  he  isn't  really  appreciated  anyway.  So,  enjoy  Coach  Connells 
success,  MTSU.  Because  1  predict  another  school  will  steal  him  away  very  shortly 
—  say,  within  two  years. 

Unless  the  school  acts  soon,  anyway.   When  a  hard  luck  story  such  as  this  is 
usually  written,  there  are  almost  always  offers  to  pick  up  the  victim  and  help  him 
back   to  his   feet.    Let's  hope  this   is  the  case  this  time.    Because   whether  any- 
body realized  it  or  not,  in  Gordon  Connell,  we  have  the  Jimmy  Earle  of  wrestling,

WRESTLING 

CONNELL  LEADS  WRESTLERS 
EVEN  WITH  ADVERSE  CONDITIONS, 
WINDS  UP  COACH  OF  THE  YEAR 

Before  the  season  began,  Connell  predicted  his  squad  would  be  lucky 
to  break  even,  what  with  the  schedule  and  everything.  Well,  they  finished 
the  year  with  an  18-9  record  and  Connell  was  later  named  the  Southeast 
Intercollegiate  Wrestling  Association  Coach  of  the  Year. 

"Our  assistant,  Muhammed  Ghorbani,  really  influenced  the  team,"  Connell 
said,  "and  our  depth  helped  us  this  year." 

The  season  opened  on  a  quiet  enough  note,  a  32-7  trouncing  at  the 
hands  of  Tennessee.  But  the  Raiders  rebounde  to  break  a  23-match  winning 
streak  with  a  24-19  win  over  Southwest  Louisiana. 

A  35-4  loss  to  UT-Chattanooga  was  ne.\t  and  the  Blue  then  won  three  in  a 
row  over  Chattanooga  State,  Southeast  Missouri  State  and  Appalachian  State. 

"When  we  beat  Southeast  Missouri  and  Appalachian,  two  pretty  good 
teams, 

"When  we  beat  Southeast  Missouri  and  Appalachian,  two  pretty  good 
teams,"  Connell  said,  "I  know  we  were  better  than  I  suspected." 

Southeast  Conference  powerhouses  Georgia  and  Auburn  visited  MTSU  during 
spring  registration,  and  while  MTSU  was  expected  to  lose  both  matches,  the 
Raiders  upset  Auburn  25-19.  "The  win  over  Auburn  was  the  culmination, 
the  coming  of  age  for  us,    Connell  said. 

The  most  heart-breaking  loss,  according  to  Connell,  was  a  21-19  loss 
to  Notre  Dame.  "We  were  clearly  the  best  team  on  the  floor."  The 
most  satisfying  wins?  A  pair  of  victories  over  Maryville,  a  team  the  Raiders 
lost  to  twice  last  year.  "We  really  wanted  them,    Connell  added. 

Individual  records  show  David  Scott  finished  the  season  with  a  21-2- 
1  record,  including  five  pins  in  a  row  at  one  stretch.  Mike  Kuzida  posted  a 
14-4  record  while  Mike  Osborne  ended  up  17-5  on  the  year.  Pat  Simpson 
earned  a  18-6  season  while  Mike  Hooker  finished  with  a  7-8-4  record. 

And  Scott  won  the  Most  Outstanding  Wrestler  award  at  the  Kentucky 
Open  Wrestling  Tournament  b\  finishing  first  out  of  45  wrestlers  in  the 
149-pound  division. 

What  does  the  future  hold  for  MTSU's  wrestling  program  and  Gordon 
Connell?  "We're  going  to  get  better,"  Connell  predicted.  "Our  competition 
will  improve  next  year  so  our  record  may  stay  about  the  same. 

"Geographically,  we're  located  in  an  ideal  situation.  We  could  build  a 
real  powerhouse,  but  we  can't  nurture  it  without  scholarships,'  Connell 
added.  "The  skies  the  limit  with  scholarships. 

"I  would  like  to  stay  here  40  years,  but  I  cant  under  adverse  conditions. 
I  realize  there  are  present  financial  limitations,  so  it's  going  to  be  a 
slow  change.'

BASKETBALL 

WAKING  FROM  DREAM  INTO 
NIGHTMARE:  WOULD  RAIDERS 
OBTAIN  OVC  DYNASTY  THIS 
YEAR? 

It  was  too  good  to  be  true.  It  was  kind  of  like  waking  up  from  a  dream  and 
walking  into  a  nightmare.  The  subject?  Varsity  basketball.  When  the  1974-75 
campaign  was  over  and  finished,  there  was  talk  from  all  corners  of  dyanasties 
and  pots  of  gold  at  ends  of  rainbows.  There  was  just  one  nagging  thought  — 
three  All-OVC  players  —  Jimmy  Martin,  Steve  Peeler  and  George  Sorrell  were 
gone.  Who  would  replace  them? 

And  then  it  happened,  just  like  that.  Sleepy  Taylor,  the  new  kid  on  the  block, 
tore  his  knee  up  while  playing  baseball  at  his  home  in  North  Carolina.  "Well, 
so  sorry,  too  bad  and  all  of  that.  We'll  just  have  to  do  it  without  him.  But  look 
at  our  freshman. 

Then  it  happened  again.  Greg  Joyner,  a  recruit  from  Philly  who  was  supposed 
to  be  the  new  Sorrell,  was  declared  ineligible  because  of  grades.  By  new,  Jimmy 
Earle  and  his  assistants  StPn  Simpson  and  John  Ferguson  must  have  known  some- 
thing was  up  in  the  air. 

Then  it  rained  for  forty  days  and  nights;  the  gates  open  and  the  flood  start- 
ed; the  moon  came  crashing  to  the  earth  and  the  sky  was  falling.  Instant 
calamity. 

Tim  Sisneros  hurt  his  hand,  Lewis  Mack  broke  his  foot,  Greg  Laravie  had  sur- 
gery on  his  back,  Clint  Dennison  hurt  his  back  and  Lork  knows  what  else.  And 
if  that  wasn't  enough,  newcomer  Ronnie  Greenwade  was  disciplined  and 
dropped  for  the  season,  and  just  when  they  were  starting  to  jell  late  in  the 
season,  the  flu  almost  devasted  the  Raiders  and  cost  them  a  game  at  East 
Tennessee. 

At  one  point,  in  fact,  it  got  so  bad  that  Earle  referred  to  the  Raider's  home 
court    as   "the   'Murphy   Center  Triangle,'    because   players    kept   disappearing." 

Yes,  at  best,  it  was  truly  a  season  to  be  forgotten.  Oh,  it  had  its  highlights 
and  memories,  as  Earle  will  tell  you. 

"We  (the  coaching  staff)  got  as  much  from  this  group  of  talent  as  we  ever 
have  in  the  face  of  adversity.  It  was  an  almost  unbelievable  season  from  start  to 
finish,  and  this  was  a  good  group  to  coach,  "  Earle  said. 

But  this  team  went  down  in  the  records  books  as  MTSU's  best  shooting  team 
ever.  They  hit  on  49.4  per  cent  from  the  field  and  72  per  cent  from  the  charity 
stripe,  second  highest  in  that  category.

SISNEROS  PLAYER  OF  THE 
YEAR  AS  WELL  AS  AP'S 
SOUTHERN  DISTRICT  ALL- 
AMERICAN 

But  the  finest  memory  from  the  past  season  is  Tim  Sisneros.  For  the  second 
time  in  as  many  years,  MTSU  laid  claim  to  having  the  OVC's  Player  of  the 
Year.  In  achieving  this  goal,  Sisneros  scored  618  points  and  hit  451  shots  for  .570 
per  cent,  setting  new  records  in  all  three  categories.  He  was  also  the  leading 
rebounder,  averaging  almost  ten  a  clip,  and  was  an  AP  Southern  District  Ail- 
American  with  the  likes  of  Leon  Douglass  and  Bernard  King. 

And  to  top  it  all  off,  Earle  says  these  days,  "I  think  his  best  basketball  is 
in  front  of  him.' 

Lewis  Mack  broke  the  season-assist  record  with  131,  and  tied  the  single 
game  record  with  12  at  Tennessee  Tech. 

And  the  toughest  record  to  have  broken  was  when  UT-Chattanooga  halted 
the  Raider  s  Murphy  Center  win  streak  at  33  in  a  row.  MTSU,  for  the  second 
year  in  a  row  and  fifth  in  seven  years,  led  the  OVC  in  team  defense,  giving 
up  only  73.5  points  in  a  row. 

The  season  opened  with  Sewanee,  and  while  the  final  score  was  88-71,  some- 
thing seemed  to  be  lacking.  With  Mack,  Greenwade  and  John  Bonner  making 
what  could  be  considered  their  first  major  college  start  ever,  Sewanee  played 
MTSU  a  tight  first  half.  One  got  the  feeling  that  the  crowd  was  waiting  for 
Sorrell,  Martin  and  Peeler  to  come  out  of  the  dressing  room.  The  Raiders 
eventually  caught  fire,  with  Sisneros  dumping  in  29  points  and  co-captain  Fred 
Allen  netting  21.  The  second  game  went  much  the  same  way,  with  Morris 
Harvey  playing  a  close  game  until  late  in  the  game.  MTSU  outdistanced  the 
Golden  Eagles  by  a  score  of  89-67. 

An  early  test  of  the  Raiders'  capabilities  came  against  the  University  of 
Alabama.  While  many  predicted  MTSU  couldn't  hold  a  candle  to  the  Crimson 
Tide,  the  Raiders  actually  caught  on  to  the  Blue  s  weaknesses,  however,  rebound- 
ing and  the  fast-break  —  and  put  the  game  away,  76-62. 

Rio  Grande  College  provided  the  warm-up  as  MTSU  prepared  for  the 
Volunteer  Classic.  The  Raiders  dumped  the  Redmen  89-65  and  then  headed 
to  Kno.wille  and  disaster. 

In  the  first  game  of  the  Classic,  MTSU  was  humiliated  by  Clemson's 
82-46  win;  but  the  Raiders  bounced  back  the  following  evening  to  stop  Army 
78-71.  "I  though  it  was  a  tribute  to  our  players  to  come  back  and  beat  a  good 
Army  team  after  the  night  before,  "  Earle  said.

GRUELING  FIVE-GAME 
STEAK  TOO  MUCH  FOR  BLUE 
UNTIL  EASTERN  KENTUCKY 

The  Raiders  notched  wins  over  Mercer,  Cal  Ploy  State  at  San  Luis  Obispo 
and  Athens  College  before  their  next  loss.  In  the  Athens  game.  Sleepy  Taylor  re- 
turned  to   the    line-up   and   Julius   Brown,    a   transfer   from   the   University  of 
Georgia,    made    his    debut.    It    didn't    help    much    though    as    MTSU    barely 
nipped  Athens  65-63. 

When  UT-Chattanooga  came  to  town,  everyone  knew  they  would  win  if 
MTSU  didn't  play  up  to  their  capabilities.  Well,  the  Raiders  didn't,  and  the 
Mocs  left  with  a  83-72  Cakewalk.  Sleepy  Taylor,  playing  about  80  per  cent, 
was  the  leading  scorer  for  MTSU  with  17  points. 

The  Raiders  next  reeled  in  the  Palm  Beach  Atlantic  Sailfish  93-69  before 
opening  the  OVC  schedule. 

And  when  the  Hilltoppers  of  Western  Kentucky  left  Murfreesboro,  everyone 
finally  woke  up  from  the  dream.  They  realized  MTSU's  "dynasty  "  would  have  to 
be  postponed  at  least  a  year.  Fortunately,  after  WKU's  win,  you  couldn't 
tell  the  players  that.  They  believed  they  could  still  win  and  then  set  out 
to  prove  it. 

The  first  things  came  against  Tennessee  Tech  and  East  Tennessee,  and 
MTSU  clipped  the  Golden  Eagles  wings  76-74  and  made  the  Buccaneers 
walk  the  plank  79-60. 

But  then  disaster  struck  again  in  the  form  of  a  grueling  five-game  read 
trip  —  the  kind  that  shouldn't  be  inflicted  on  anybody.  Following  losses  to 
Morehead,  Eastern  Kentucky,  Austin  Peay  and  Murray,  MTSU  finally  won  a 
road  contest.  Western  was  the  victim  by  a  score  of  71-65,  but  then  it  was  time 
for  more  disaster.  The  Raiders  lost  three  more  in  a  row  to  Peay,  East  Ten- 
nessee and  Tech,  giving  the  Blue  seven  losses  in  eight  games. 

And  then  the  Raiders  finally  started  playing  the  kind  of  ball  everyone  knew 
they  were  capable  of. 

It  started  off  with  a  95-75  win  over  Eastern  Kentucky,  and  evervone  was 
glad  just  to  see  the  losing  string  end.  The  significance  was  missed,  however. 

Significance?  Yes,  MTSU  was  finally  starting  to  come  of  age.  "We  were  start- 
ing to  jell  before  the  Western  game,  but  the  flu  at  East  Tennessee  nearly 
destroyed  us,"  Earl  moaned. 

The  season  was  closed  out  with  wins  over  Morehead,  non-conference 
power  Marshall  and  Murray.  At  Marshall,  Sisneros  scored  a  season-high  37 
points.  In  the  last  ten  games,  in  fact,  he  average  28.1  points  and  12  re- 
bounds per  game,   and   finished  the   season   with   a  22  point  average,   second

DYNASTY  POSTPONED,  BUT 
STILL  DREAMED  OFF 

highest  in  Blue  Raider  history. 

MTSU  finished  the  regular  season  in  fifth  place,  higher  than  most  sports- 
writers,  including  myself,  figured.  In  the  OVC  tournament,  that  gave  the 
Raiders  a  first-round  foe  of  arch-rival  Tennessee  Tech. 

The  Raiders  went  into  the  contest  as  the  hottest  team  in  the  OVC  and 
emerged  the  same  way.  The  84-72  win  over  Tech  sent  MTSU  into  the 
tournament  finals  against  Western  Kentucky  where  one  of  the  most  amazing 
comeback  stories  of  the  year  came  to  an  abrupt  halt.  The  Hilltoppers 
handed    MTSU    a    10-point    loss,    88-78,    but    they    couldn't    end    the    dream. 

Individually,  Fred  Allen  averaged  13.8  points  per  game,  Lewis  Mack 
earned  a  13  point  average.  Sleepy  Taylor  at  1 1.6  and  John  Bonner  at 
a  9.2  clip. 

Yes,  the  "dynasty'  may  have  been  postponed  for,  a  vear  but  "The 
Impossible  Dream  '  will  live  forever.

GOLF 

LINKSTERS  PURSUE  WINNING 
SEASON 

Fall  golf,  as  is  most  sports  that  are  split  up,  is  supposed  to  be  a  preparation 
for  the  coming  spring  season.  If  that  is  the  case,  the  MTSU  iinksters 
will  most  surely  have  a  winning  season. 

In  the  opening  fall  contest,  the  Blue  Raider  golfers  brought  home  a 
share  of  fourth  place  in  the  Murray  State  Invitational.  Austin  Peay  and 
MTSU    ended    the   three-day   tourney    with    a   total    of  909   each    for   the   tie. 

Gerald  Nelson,  a  transfer  from  Columbia  Junior  College,  shot  a  225 
total  followed  by  senior  Geary  Sharber's  226.  Another  Blue  Raider  linkster. 
Chip  Yanen,  shot  a  227,  with  Sam  Hunt  and  Bobb\  Dyke  shooting  231 
and  241,  respectively. 

A  first-place  finish  was  ne.xt  in  store  for  the  Blue  raiders  at  the  Hart 
Invitational  in  Cullman,  Ala.  Hunt,  Dyke  and  Yanen  all  fired  par  72s 
in  the  opening  round  to  give  MTSU  a  margin  it  never  relinquished. 

MTSU  entered  the  Opryland  Invitational  as  not  only  the  defending  cham- 
pion, but  as  the  only  champion  of  the  three-year-old  tournament.  This 
year,  however,  things  were  not  destined  to  be  the  same. 

Although  the  Raiders  finished  in  second  place,  golf  coach  Dr.  E.K.  Patty 
expressed  some  dissatisfaction  over  the  play  of  his  iinksters.  Gerald  Nelson 
was  low  man  for  the  Raiders  at  148  for  two  rounds. 

Making  an  appearance  in  the  first  annual  River  City  Invitational  Golf 
Tournament  in  Memphis,  the  Blue  raider  golfers  took  18th  position  in 
a  field  which  sported  many  major  conference  representatives  and  many 
major  independents  as  well. 

Ronnie  Duff  was  the  only  Blue  Raider  to  break  into  the  top  ten  individually, 
firing  a  185  total. 

Considering  all  of  the  factors,  MTSU  did  quite  well  in  representing 
the  OVC  in  such  a  tournament,  and  the  Raiders  will  have  a  shot  at 
taking  first  place  in  the  OVC  Championships  this  spring.

INTRAMURALS 


)n  the  other  side  of  the  coin,  away  from  the 
"intercollegiate  aspect,  is  intramurals.  For 
those  who  may  be  somehow  unaware  of  the 
term,  it  means  something  for  everybody. 

Whatever  you  favorite  form  of  recreation 
is,  the  intramural  office  offers  it. 

Sports  range  from  the  old,  established  ones 
like  flag  football  and  basketball  to  the  new 
and  wilder  ones  like  innertube  basketball  and 
team  frisbee. 

Yes,  it's  all  here.  "The  thrill  of  victory  — 
the  agony  of  defeat.  Your  chance  to  be 
the  all-star  quarterback.  And,  most  of  all, 
the  chance  to  have  fun  and  enjoy  athletics 
for  a  change.

GRADUATION  REGALIA 


Many  students  yield  to  the  pomp  and  circumstance  of  graduation  only  because  it  is  a  grand  occasion  for  thier  parents. 

No  doubt,  many  professors  also  are  a  little  reluctant  to  adorn  themselves  in  cap  and  gown. 

Nevertheless,  the  academic  costume  is  steeped  in  tradition.  Its  essential  features  date  to  the  Middle  Ages.  The  earliest 

European  universities  began  as  chuch  schools,  and  both  students  and  faculty  wore  clerical  robes. 

Apparently,  the  gown  with  its  flowing  hood  down  the  back  was  first  uniformly  adopted  by  the  University  of  Cambridge 

in  1284,  and  by  the  University  of  Oxford  soon  after.  The  regalia  followed  the  English  into  the  American  Colonies. 

King's  College  in  New  York,  now  Columbia  University,  is  credited  with  first  picking  up  the  custom.  Of  course  the  tradition 

spread,  and  by  1895,  the  result  was  a  confusing  array  of  caps,  gowns,  and  hoods. 
In  that  vear,  a  commission  established  a  uniform  code  which  was  last  updated  in  1959  by  a  committee  for  the  American 

Council  on  Education. 
Still,  few  people  understand  the  symbolism  in  the  garb  they  see  on  fellow  students,  faculty  members  and  administrators 

during  the  graduation  ceremony. 
The  familiar  "mortarboard"  cap  was  in  the  Oxford  style  although  it  is  undoubtedly  less  comfortable  than  the  soft  Cambridge 
version  that  was  similar  to  a  beret.  A  black  tassle  is  most  common  at  MTSU,  but  the  code  allows  a  tassle  colored  to  indicate  a 

person's  field  of  study.  Those  with  a  doctoral  degree  may  wear  one  metalic  gold  in  color. 
Another  method  of  distinguishing  the  level  of  one's  degree  is  in  the  gown.  Masters'  and  doctors'  gowns  were  once  of  silk, 

with  a  special  velvet  decoration  on  the  latter. 

Synthetic  material  is  now  common,  but  a  gown's  style  can  identify  the  wearer's  degree.  The  bachelor's  gown  has  long 

pointed  sleeves.  A  masters  gown  has  pouch-like  sleeves,  and  before  the  last  code  revision,  was  characterized  by  an  unusual 

design  causing  the  arms  to  emerge  through  slits  at  the  elbows. 
Three  velvet  bars  on  each  sleeve  and  velvet  panels  down  the  front  distinguish  a  doctor  s  gown.  It  is  usually  cut  fuller 
than  the  others.  The  pannelling  and  bars  may  show  the  degree  color,  but  not  necessarily. 
A  wealth  of  information  lies  in  the  hood  draped  across  and  down  the  back.  The  hoods  differ  with  degree  in  length  and  in 
the  width  of  the  velvet  border.  A  bachelor's  hood  is  three  feet  with  a  two-inch 
border,  a  master's  three  and  one-half  feet  with  a  three-inch  border  and  the  doc- 
tor's four  feet  with  a  five-inch  border.  The  color  of  the  hood  lining  tells  which 
school  granted  a  person's  degree.  MTSU  hoods  are  lined  in  blue  and  white. 
Border  colors  denote  field  of  study.  For  example,  students  in  education  wear  a 
hood  bordered  by  a  light  blue  stripe.  Students  in  science  wear  gold  yellow,  and 

those  in  music  wear  pink. 
Other  color  codes  are  aerospace,  silver;  arts,  white;  journalism,  crimson;  home 
economics,  maroon,  agriculture,  maize;  economics,  copper;  library  science, 
lemon,  nursing,  apricot;  physical  education,  sage  green,  and  business  administra- 
tion, drab. 
Although  the  hood  is  not  worn  by  students  receiving  a  bachelor's  degree,  it  is  a 
part  of  the  other  costumes  paraded  at  graduation  ceremonies.  Next  time  you  sit 
through  one,  try  conquering  your  boredom;  look  at  the  hoods  and  figure  out  what 

interests  the  nameless  faces  surrounding  you.

NED  COOK  BURNS  IN  EFFIGY 


C 


^^ 


Commission  burned  Ned  Cook,  head  of 
Cook  Industries  in  Memphis,  in  effigy. 
Paul  Cantrell,  Dean  of  Students,  denied 
the  group  permission  to  burn  the  effigy  at 
the  outset,  but  later  changed  his  decision 
after  receiving  pubHcity  in  several  local 
newspapers.  Cantrell  was  present  at  the 
burning  and  agreed  to  light  the  match. 
Cook  was  given  last  rites  (Left)  by  an  uni- 
dentified "priest".  Twenty  to  thirty 
persons  watched  Cooks  effigy  (Below)  go 
up  in  flames.

ST.  JUDE'S  WEEK 


Sigma  Nu  Fraternity  sponsored  a  week  of  activities  to 
raise  money  for  St.  Jude's  Children's  Research  Hospital 
in  Memphis.  Members  of  various  organizations  participated 
in  a  dunking  machine.  Trina  Jones,  SIDELINES  news  edi- 
tor (Right),  hurls  a  ball  at  Bill  Mason,  fall  editor  of  SIDE- 
LINES. Phil  West  (Below),  a  former  editor  of  the  news-

Orange  computer  cards,  snake-like  lines  and  seas  of 
frustrated  faces  —  all  part  of  the  maze  known  as  regis- 
tration. 

To  avoid  some  of  the  hassles  next  registration  time. 
Cliff  Gillespie,  acting  dean  of  admissions  and  records, 
has  a  suggestion. 

"Students  should  make  sure  they  have  all  registration 
materials  (trial  schedule,  name  and  fee  cards  and  student 
registration  form)  before  they  come  to  Murphy  Center," 
he  stressed. 

Registration  will  be  easier  if  the  student  does  his  or 
her  part  beforehand,  Gillespie  emphasized. 

During  the  two-day  on-campus  registration,  almost 
10,000  students  enrolled.  Late  and  off-campus  registra- 
tion increased  the  total  amount  to  10,562  students. 

Since  MTSU  s  enrollment  has  increased  113  percent 
in  10  years,  the  university  has  become  the  fastest  grow- 
ing institution  in  the  Board  of  Regents  system.  |i^

WHAT  FOCUS  IS 
f^    ALL  ABOUT 

In  trying  to  find  a  way  to  make  the  class 
pages  more  interesting,  we  decided  to  try  "fo- 
cus". It  is  our  way  of  covering  a  number  of 
subjects  wliich  we  feel  are  pertinent  to  student 
life.  Armed  with  a  tape  recorder,  one  of  MID- 
LANDER's  staff  members  asked,  at  random, 
what  people  thought  about  these  subjects. 
You  11  find  their  answers  on  the  pages  that

ADMINISTRATION 


"You  mean  those  guys  up  in  the  Crystal  Palace?' 

"I  think  they  show  a  profound  concern  for  the 

students.  ' 

"I   don't   understand    why   there   aren  t   more 

black  administrators." 

"I   wish  they  could  just   work  out  a   way  to 

cut  out   all   of  the  red  tape  you  have  to  go 

through  to  get  anything  done." 

"I  understand  most  of  them  have  their  degrees 

from  this  school.  That  doesn't  seem  fair." 

"1  don't  know  any  people  up  there,  except  the 

lady  in  the   window  of  the  business  office.  "

DORM  LIFE 

r"I  think  it  s  a  good  way  to  get  close  to  a 
lot  of  strangers.  ' 

"I  don  t  like  sharing  a  bathroom  with  ten 
or  fifteen  other  people. 

"I  just  feel  sorry  for  the  dorm  directors.  They 
sure  get  a  lot  of  hassle." 

"I  lived  on  campus  for  one  year,  and  couldn  t 
take  any  more.  It  was  as  bad  as  living  at  home." 

"I  wouldn't  be  so  bad  if  you  didn't  have 
to  sneak  in  liquor  and  girls.  '

8:00  CLASSES 

"I  always  say  every  semester  that  I  11  never 
have  another  8:00  class,  but  somehow  I  always 
end  up  taking  em.  " 

"I  feel  better  the  rest  of  the  day  when  I 
get  up  early. 

"Having  8:00  classes  is  about  the  only  way 
to  be  assured  of  finding  a  good  parking  place. 

"They're  the  best  excuse  I  know  of  for  cutting 
class." 

"They  aren't  so  bad,  unless  you  ve  been  party- 
ing the  night  before.  Then  they  re  hell.  " 

"They  re  better  than  the  7:30  classes  in  the 
summer.

working  for — not  legalization."  I!

HOMECOMI 


"I  really  enjoy  homecoming.  It  s  about  the 
only  thing  that  happens  on  campus  all  year 
that  I  really  look  forward  to. 

"Homecoming  this  year  would  have  been 
great  if  it  hadn  t  been  for  the  rain.  ' 

"If  you're  not  in  a  fraternity  or  sorority,  you 
don't  get  involved  in  what's  going  on." 

"I  don  t  think  the  ASB  publicized  it  enough. 

"I  heard  about  this  one  school  that  used  the 
money  normally  spent  on  homecoming  and  gave 
it  to  a  charity.  Can  you  imagine  if  MTSU  tried 
to  do  something  like  that?  "

WOMEN'S 
LIBERATION 


"They  ought  to  shoot  every  one  of  ffiem. 

"I  don't  like  to  see  the  movement  get  mis- 
understood. A  lot  of  people  think  we're  out 
to  castrate  all  the  men. 

"I  think  women  should  be  treated  as  equals, 
as  long  as  they  remember  where  their  place 
is." 

"I  just  don't  want  to  see  the  day  when  men 
and  women  are  exactly  the  same.  I'm  afraid 
that  that's  what  women's  lib  is  pushing  for." 

"I  think  it's  had  a  fantastic  impact  on  the 
career  world. 

"I'm  afraid  I  won't  be  able  to  find  a  job 
because  I'm  not  a  woman."

"I  think  they  ought  to  .  .  .  instead  of  sitting 
around  trying  to  figure  out  what  to  call  the 
NCB,  they  should  be  out  trying  to  do  something 
beneficial  for  the  kids  on  campus." 

"1  think  Helberg's  done  a  pretty  good  job 
with  it  so  far,  but  it's  awful  hard  to  fight  the 
apathy  on  this  campus.  " 

"It's  sad  to  me  that  their  most  successful 
accomplishment  has  been  homecoming.  I  mean, 
to  waste  so  much  energy  on  something  as  petty 
as  that  ..." 

"The  ASB  is  just  a  bunch  of  junior  polities 
trying  to  make  the  big  time.  They'll  probably 
succeed  if  they  keep  trying  to  please  both  sides."

"Monk's  helped  out  a  lot  at  one  time,  but

more.  I  bet  they  sell  them  to  someplace  else 
for  five  dollars.' 

"It  seems  like  the  teachers  and  bookstores 
could  work  together  to  insure  that   we're  not 
gonna  lose  money  on  a  book  that  s  gonna  be 
jdropped. 

P  "  I  don  t  understand  how  they  can  both  adver- 
tise that  they  pay  more  or  sell  for  less.  One 
of  them  has  got  to  be  lying.

STUDENT  APATHY 


"This   campus    is    the   epitome   of  apathy.  " 

"I  don't  care. 

"When  only  10%  of  the  student  body  will 
vote  in  any  given  election,  you  have  a  pretty 
good  idea  of  how  apathetic  MTSU  students 
are. 

"People  need  a  good  ole  controversy  to 
stir  them  out  of  their  apathetic  states  like 
the  logo  controversy  last  year. 

"I  feel  that  the  nation,  as  a  whole,  is  going 
through  a  period  of  apathy.  It  s  hard  to  follow 
up  all  the  e.xcitement  of  the  sixties. 

"As  I  understand  it,  the  students  of  this 
university  have  always  been  grossly  apathetic.

"No  university  should  be  without  it." 

"It's  not  very  smart.  After  all,  youre  paying 
to  go  to  school.' 

"It  can  get  to  be  a  real  habit.  " 

"I  can't  stand  the  professors  that  drop  you 
a  letter  grade  for  missing  a  certain  number 
of  classes. 

"I  always  miss  a  bunch  of  classes  when 
springtime  rolls  around." 

"Ive  been  here  for  two  years  now,  and 
never  cut  a  class.  I've  missed  a  couple  because 
of  sickness,  but  that's  all.  That  must  be  some 
kind  of  record. 

"I  miss  a  lot  of  classes  because  of  a  chronic 
case  of  grill-sitting  .

OPEN  VISITATION 

"Any  person  enrolled  in  this  university  is 
an  adult,  and  I  feel  he  or  she  should  be 
treated  in  such  a  manner.  Limited  visitation 
restricts  this.  " 

"I  don't  approve  of  it.  I  feel  that  is  en- 
courages some  things  which  should  not  go 
on  between  members  of  the  opposite  se.x." 

"I  don't  think  we'll  ever  see  open  visitation 
on  this  campus.  All  efforts  so  far  have  been 
unsuccessful. 

"If  the  student  body  would  only  get  behind 
it  and  raise  hell,  I  bet  we  could  get  open 
visitation." 

"Its  going  to  be  hard  to  get  something 
like  that  passed  here  in  the  middle  of  the 
Bible  Belt.'

The  MIDLANDER  is  printed  on  80- 
pound  Dull  Enamel  paper  by  Josten  s/ 
American  Yearbook  Company  of  Clarks- 
ville,  Tennessee.  Their  representative  is 
Johnny  Lovier 

Materials  published  in  MIDLANDER 
do  not  necessarily  reflect  the  opinion  or 
position  of  Middle  Tennessee  State  Uni- 
versity, its  students,  its  faculty,  or  its  ad- 
ministration. All  material  appearing  in 
this  publication  is  the  sole  responsibility 
of  the  MIDLANDER  editorial  board. 


Editors  Last  Rant 


This  will  be  a  unique  closing  for  a  publication  of  this  kind  (stolen 
from  the  1975  editor  of  the  University  of  South  Carolina  s  GARNET 
AND  BLACK,  Fred  Paul  Merritt).  The  majority  of  editors  use  this 
space  to  thank  those  near  and  dear  for  help  and  support  extended 
throughout  the  year. 

I  have  chosen  instead  to  "put  the  screws  to  those  who  have  made 
my  job  more  difficult  than  it  ever  should  have  been.  At  the  top  of  my 
list  is  one  John  Lewis  Pitts,  who,  aside  from  being  just  a  general  pain 
in  the  tail,  left  me  without  a  managing  editor  in  the  middle  of  the 
summer.  Thanks,  Pitts. 

Then  there  are  the  photographers  (Photo  Phred,  for  example)  who 
never  had  the  time  or  money  to  take  the  pictures  I  assigned,  but  were 
always  loaded  with  photos  of  sweet  little  honeys.  How  do  you  explain 
that?' 

Next  on  the  list  are  those  organizations  who  could  never  understand 
that  I  can't  do  everything.  When  a  photographer  didn  t  show  up,  I 
somehow  received  most  of  the  blame.  When  names  are  left  off  group 
pictures  (because  we  didn  t  get  the  information  in  time),  I  know  1  II  get 
the  blame  for  that,  too.  That  s  the  breaks. 

Id  like  to  extend  a  very  sarcastic  word  of  appreciation  to  the  Mass 
Communications  Department  for  swiping  our  chairs  at  the  beginning 
of  the  year,  to  most  of  my  staff  members  for  leaving  me  stranded  on 
deadline  nights,  and  finally,  to  Nancy  Nipper  and  the  Board  of  Publi- 
cations for  getting  me  in  this  mess  in  the  first  place. 

Without  these  people,  I  might  have  been  able  to  leave  this  univer- 
sity with  at  least  a  teensy  bit  of  sanity.  There  is  no  hope  for  that  now. 

If  you  have  not  been  included  in  the  above  "rant,  I  truly  appreciate 
the  love,  help,  and  support  Ive  been  extended  during  my  term  as 
editor. 

Can't  believe  I  did  this,  huh?  Well,  I  did! 


Bve, 


dSltad   C&rui^
