The  two  campuses  seem  so  different,  but  both  are 
part  of  "Almost  Heaven." 


E.    Moore    Hall,    when    morning    comes    to 
Morgantown. 

One   of   the   oldest    and    most    scenic    spots    on 
campus. 


To  most  students,  the  name  "Monticola"  means  nothing. 
But,  the  people  who  named  the  publication  in  1896  were  all 
products  of  the  then  prevalent  classical  high  school  education. 
They  knew  their  Latin.  "Monticola"  means  "dweller  in  the 
mountains."  By  a  very  slight  adaptation,  we  arrive  at  the  fact 
that  "Monticola"  means  MOUNTAINEER.  What  could  be 
more  appropriate?

College  is  a  community  of  people  who  experience  unifying 
bonds.  The  bonds  at  West  Virginia  University  are  those  of  heri- 
tage and  tradition.  In  looking  at  the  past,  we  cannot  help  but 
examine  the  events  that  have  occurred.  Could  1978-79  ever  be 
as  good  as  previous  years?  After  much  thought  the  answer  was 
obvious:  perhaps  it  could  never  be  as  good,  perhaps  it  could 
be  better. 


Southern  West  Virginia  is  filled  with  natural  beauty.

We  should  move  ahead  whether  that  means  success  or  fail- 
ure with  a  fond  regard  for  the  past.  West  Virginia  abounds 
with  tradition.  We  must  look  to  the  past  in  order  to  guide  the 
present  and  prepare  for  the  future.  Maybe  1978-79  would  be 
the  year  to  break  traditions.  Could  the  Mountaineers  beat  Pitt 
or  Penn  State?  Could  West  Virginia  break  the  tradition  of  being 
thought  of  as  the  hillbilly  state? 


Win  or  lose,  June  Speranza  never  stopped  support

Would  the  Alpha  Xi's  continue  to  produce  the  Homecoming 
queens?  Could  Gale  Catlett  produce  a  basketball  team  we 
could  support? 

Maybe  1978-79  would  be  the  year  to  start  traditions.  Despite 
controversy,  a  new  Mountaineer  Field  was  on  the  drawing 
board.  For  the  first  time  in  years,  students  and  faculty  came  to- 
gether "after  hours."  Rolling  of  the  rug  began  again. 


A  little  extra  entertainment  was  seen  at  football 
games  with  these  loyal  fans.

Above  all,  we  were  sure  1978-79  would  be  the  year  to  con- 
tinue traditions.  There  are  so  many  at  WVU  that  if  we  tried  to 
break  all  that  exist,  we  would  have  nothing  to  use  for  a  base 
for  the  new  traditions  we  intended  to  begin. 

Although  the  interests  of  the  students  at  West  Virginia  Uni- 
versity are  so  diversified,  all  take  part  in  the  Mountaineer 
tradition.

Each  student,  in  a  certain  way,  is  misunderstood  and  unac- 
cepted by  others  just  as  the  early  Mountaineers  were.  A  sense 
of  pride,  accomplishment,  and  reliability  touch  each  and  every 
student,  each  Mountaineer.  Students  at  West  Virginia  Univer- 
sity treasure  the  Mountaineer  heritage.  Each  student,  in  his 
own  special  way,  is  Livin'  Mountaineer  Style.

Being  in  college  means  so  many  things  to  so  many  individ- 
uals. Everyone  has  his  likes  and  dislikes,  his  places  to  go  and 
not  to  go.  Each  knows  the  times  to  study  and  the  times  to 
party.  Students  at  WVU  are  no  different.  There  are  times  to 
spend  alone  and  times  to  spend  with  others.  No  matter  how 
each  spends  his  time,  there  is  no  way  to  avoid  Livin'  Moun- 
taineer Style.

Summer  Days  in  Fall 


Leg  watching   is  a   popular  sport  for   Bill    Burns 
criminology  senior. 

The  Lair  steps  are  always  a  popular  warm  weather 
spot. 


The  closing  of  the  Stadium  Bridge  caused  many 
problems  for  students. 


12     Back  to  School 


Playing  frisbee  is  a  great  way  to  avoid  studying. 

New  signs  on  both  campuses  helped  to  unify  the 
University. 


Registration  problems  will  NEVER  end. 

Summer  days  found  WVU  students  all 
over  the  country.  By  the  middle  of  Au- 
gust, thoughts  turned  to  the  start  of  an- 
other academic  year  and  Morgantown. 
Some  20,000  students  and  1,700  faculty 
members  invaded  the  city,  with  traffic 
jams  everywhere. 

Returning  and  incoming  students  had 
to  deal  with  many  changes  and  incon- 
veniences. The  Stadium  Bridge  had  been 
closed,  the  PRT  was  not  operating  and 
renovations  to  several  buildings  were 
underway.  All  became  accustomed  to 
standing  in  lines  whether  it  was  to  buy 
books,  pay  tuition,  or  get  a  cold  drink. 
When  classes  began  August  23,  the  hot 
and  humid  weather  resulted  in  students 
clad  in  shorts,  tank  tops  and  halters. 

Everyone  thought  summer  school  was 
still  in  session  as  the  mercury  inched  into 
the  90's.  Wall-sitting  was  the  favorite 
pastime  for  most.  Attention  spans  for 
both  students  and  teachers  were  short, 
while  afternoon  classes  seemed  to  drag 
with  thoughts  turning  to  Cheat  Lake,  wa- 
ter skiing  and  suntans. 


Back  to  School     13 


Sweater  Weather 


By  mid-September,  beautiful  autumn 
colors  adorned  both  campuses.  As 
"sweater  weather"  began,  thoughts 
turned  to  football,  partying  and  some- 
times studying. 

The  renovations  continued;  the  site  of 
the  old  Daily  Athenaeum  was  conve- 
niently converted  to  a  parking  lot. 

Parties    of    every    kind    occurred    a 
around   town.   The   Mountaineer   14-12 
victory   in   the  home  opener  had   fans 
"going  crazy"  and  "getting  wild."  Maybe 
being  back   in   Morgantown  wasn't  a 
that  bad.

Merry  Moore,  biology  freshman,  found  romping  in 
the  leaves  a  good  fall  activity. 


Many  found  that  studying  outside 
cured  the  "back  to  school  blues."  Stu- 
dents took  to  jumping  the  bridge  and 
playing  in  the  leaves. 

Fall  meant  West  Virginians  in  the  na- 
tional news.  President  Jimmy  Carter  at- 
tended the  Forest  Festival  in  Elkins.  The 
entire  country  watched  the  Senatorial 
race  in  the  state.  Incumbent  Jennings 
Randolph  defeated  former  Governor 
Arch  Moore  in  one  of  the  closest  elec- 
tions ever. 

All  did  their  Mountaineer  livin'  in  a 
little  different  style.

Residents  of  Stalnaker  Hall  discovered  that  friends

Even  the  Mountaineer  statue  found  there  was  no 
way  to  avoid  the  "white  stuff  of  winter." 


18     Winter  in  Motown 


As  the  months  slipped  by,  students 
found  it  necessary  to  change  from  shorts 
and  sandals  to  down  coats  and  boots. 

Traying,  skiing  and  snowballing  be- 
came favorite  pastimes.  At  times,  driving 
became  impossible.  Attendance  in 
classes  dropped  as  the  roads  got  worse. 

February  19,  Washington's  birthday 
recess,  provided  a  break  in  the  class 
monotony,  but  not  in  the  weather  blues. 
Four  to  six  inches  of  new  snow  covered 
the  campus  the  day  before. 

Spring  break  started  February  23. 
"Anywhere  south"  seemed  to  be  the 
destination  of  most.  Students  knew  that 
spring  break  meant  about  two  more 
months  of  Morgantown  and  classes. 
May  brings  vacations,  money-and  grad- 
uation for  the  lucky  ones. 


Larry  Sappington,  forestry  student,  found  that  going 
to  the  Archery  Range  for  lab  meant  wearing  gloves. 

Grant   Avenue   always   provided   a   challenge   for 
drivers.

Getting  Away 


Every  community,  large  or  small,  from 
California  to  Maine  has  its  share  of 
chain-food  stores  and  fast-food  estab- 
lishments. Morgantown  is  no  exception. 
However,  it  is  refreshing  to  know  that 
there  are  establishments  in  Morgantown 
which  do  not  fall  into  the  fast-food 
category. 

Maxwell's,  now  in  its  third  year,  is 
doing  quite  well.  The  menu  includes 
soups,  sandwiches  and  salads.  Each  is 
delicious  and  the  prices  are  reasonable. 

The  Acropolis,  commonly  known  as 
Nick's,  offers  pizza,  sandwiches  and 
beer.  The  Willey  Street  establishment 
has  long  been  the  place  for  a  good 
TGIF.  Creeks  have  in-,  m;)Ho  tho  R,„kxe

This  year's  Homecoming  was  little  dif-

Mountaineers  lost,  the  weather  was 
chilly,  and  the  Alpha  Xi's  nominee  was 
crowned  Homecoming  Queen. 

The  festivities  which  creatively  sur- 
rounded Homecoming  this  year  cen- 
tered around  the  theme  Music!  Music! 
Music!  The  festivities  were  coordinated 
with  Classical  Arts,  Mini  Events,  and  the 
Coffeehouse  committees  of  student 
government. 

At  the  football  game,  Natalie  Cola- 
pelle  was  crowned  Homecoming  Queen 
making  the  record  four  in  a  row  for  the 
Alpha  Xi's.  The  Mountaineers  were  de-

The  Homecoming  committee,  chaired 
by  Ed  Rahal,  added  a  personal  touch  to 
the  events  this  year.  The  Homecoming 
Queen  finalists  had  a  luncheon  with  Mrs. 
Gene  Budig.  There  was  a  fashion  show 
with  the  nominees,  finalists  and  the  Uni- 
versity football  team,  a  "Disco  Night"  at 
Fat  Daddy's  with  a  Steve  Martin  imper- 
sonation contest,  a  beer  chugging  con- 
test, a  talent  show,  a  pep  rally  and  of 
course  the  annual  Homecoming  parade 
and  football  game. 

When  the  alumni  came  back  to  this 
crazy  town,  they  found  that  these  hills 
were  truly  alive  with  music,  festivities, 
and  cheering. 


Signs   around   campus   became   a   usual   sight   as 
Homecoming  Week  drew  near. 


Natalie    Colapelle,    senior    psych     major,    was

Something  different,  something  chal-

The  Shop  contains  such  equipment  as: 
kilns,  pottery  wheels,  grinding  wheels 
and  molds  to  help  make  ceramics,  pot- 
tery, leather  goods  and  candles. 

Almost  everyone  that  visits  the  Shop 
has  some  type  of  experience  with  crafts, 
but  help  is  available  from  work-study 
students  and  the  coordinator. 

The  cost  is  funded  by  student  fees. 
There  is  a  small  charge  for  supplies  for 
projects. 

Seminars  throughout  the  year  are 
available  from  the  Shop  to  inform  stu- 
dents in  recent  craft  programs  at  the 
University. 

Something  different  to  study,  some-

38     Buildings 


In  1867,  WVU  was  a  land-grant  in- 
stitution consisting  of  three  buildings: 
Martin  Hall,  Chitwood  Hall  and  Wood- 
burn  Hall.  Total  enrollment  was  six 
students. 

Today,  WVU  has  89  buildings  and 
801.1  acres  of  land.  It  has  two  campuses 
and  more  than  20,000  students.  The  orig- 
inal campus,  Woodburn  Circle  is  now 
under  renovation. 

The  Mountainlair  serves  16,000  to 
17,000  persons  daily  and  holds  about 
6,000  events  per  year.  The  Medical  Cen- 
ter is  a  highly  innovative  health  service 
center  and  some  270,000  have  been  reg- 
istered there. 

What  finer  dwellings  could  a  student 
ask  for?  The  surroundings  have  changed, 
but  they  continue  to  remind  students  of 
the  tradition  that  they  are  involved  with. 


Oglebay    Hall    is    now    the    base    for    the    Psych

Woodburn  Circle  has  been  placed  on  the  National

Clothes  Make  the  Man 


It  has  often  been  said  that 
clothes  can  make  the  man, 
and  that  is  more  than  appro- 
priate in  the  case  of  Univer- 
sity Mountaineer  Rick  Poling. 

The  first-year  law  student 
from  Grantsville  donned  new 
buckskins  this  year,  and  with 
the  help  of  a  Morgantown 
craftsman,  Marvin  Wotring, 
he  has  developed  into  the 
main  focal  point  wherever  he 
goes,  whether  it  be  a  ball 
game  or  any  other  function 
where  the  University  mascot 
abounds. 

Poling,  a  23-year-old  Cal- 
houn County  native  who  was 
selected  last  year  by  Moun- 
tain, the  ranking  men's  honor- 
ary, to  reign  as  the  Mountain- 
eer, said  Wotring  did  a 
"fantastc  job"  on  the  suit  he 
wears  to  promote  the  Univer- 
sity throughout  the  state  as 
well  as  at  WVU  athletic  con- 
tests. Wotring's  total  effort 
produced  buckskin  shirt  and 
pants,  a  coonskin  cap,  a 
scrimshawed  powder  horn, 
leather  pouch  fringed  leather 
rifle  case  and  a  rifle  to  boot- 
all  for  the  meager  cost  of 
$595.  That  may  sound  like  a 
lot  of  money,  but  the  muz- 
zleloader  Wotring  hand- 
made has  been  appraised  for 
$650,  well  over  the  total  cost 
of  the  endeavor. 

Referring  to  his  new  look, 
Poling  said  it  gives  him  more 
of  an  authentic  feeling.  "It's" 
made  by  hand  as  it  would 
have  been  years  ago,  and 
most  people  think  the  gun  is 
much  older  than  it  really  is 
because  of  its  authenticity," 
he  explained. 

Changing  the  topic  to  the 
suit's  creator,  Poling  indicated 
that  Marvin  Wotring,  of  245 
Webster  Ave.,  has  a  "heart  as 
big  as  Morgantown.  I  know 
from  my  past  experiences 
that  you  always  get  about 
twice  what  you  came  for 
when  dealing  with  him," 
noted  Poling,  "but  I  should 
have  known  he  was  up  to 
something  the  way  he  was 
grin'in  and  shak'in   his  head 


up  and  down  as  usual  when 
we  told  him  what  we 
needed." 

Poling  was  referring  to  the 
history  of  the  uniform,  which 
is  as  interesting  as  the  man 
who  made  it. 

Marvin  Wotring,  a  1965 
graduate  of  WVU,  earned  a 
degree  in  agricultural  educa- 
tion, and  like  most  of  his  fel- 
low graduates,  he  advanced 
into  the  job  market  following 
school.  Marvin  works  for  the 
U.S.  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture as  a  program  specialist  in 
the  Agricultural  Conservation 
program  to  assist  farmers 
with  cost-sharing,  but  up  until 
four  and  a  half  years  ago,  the 
Preston  County  native  spent 
his  spare  time  behind  the 
television.  Then  after  a  knee 
operation,  Wotring  enrolled 
in  vocational-technical 
classes  and  learned  a  craft  in 
which  he  devotes  almost  all 
his  leisure— making  buckskin 
outfits  from  split  cowhide, 
mending  raccoon  skins  into 
coonskin  caps,  sculpting 
muzzleloaders  from  raw  ma- 
terials and  scrimshawing  fig- 
ures onto  bull  horns  for  pow- 
der use.  The  three-month 
class  in  Kingwood  taught 
Marvin  how  to  construct  rifles 
from  a  kit,  and  stimulated  the 
Morgantown  resident  to 
open  a  shop  in  his  home 
called,  "The  Frontiersman."  In 
his  four  and  a  half  years  in  the 
shop,  he  has  made  34  rifles 
from  scratch,  but  he  prides 
himself  most  on  his  creation 
of  the  full  outfit  for  his  alma 
mater's  Mountaineer  mascot. 

It  all  began  at  the  annual 
Buckwheat  Festival  in  King- 
wood,  where  the  then- 
Homecoming  Parade  chair- 
man Rod  Windom  noticed 
the  craftsman  shaping  a  rifle 
from  a  large  chunk  of  wood 
and  miscellaneous  parts. 
Windom  began  to  watch  him 
in  action,  and  all  of  a  sudden, 
a  thought  popped  into  his 
head.  It  was  the  nation's  Bi- 
centennial, and  his  three-year 
old   son,  Scottie,   wanted   to 


march  in  the  parade  as  a 
Mountaineer. 

Scottie  marched  in  the  pa- 
rade in  buckskins  made  by 
his  mother,  but  still  longed  for 
an  authentic  suit.  Scottie 
wasn't  the  only  Mountaineer 
along  the  parade  route.  "Mar- 
vin, and  a  friend,  Ray  Burn- 
ham,  were  in  the  parade,  also 
dressed  as  Mountaineers." 
Windom  explained.  "They 
marched  along  the  parade 
route  several  times,  and  more 
than  one  spectator  jokingly 
asked,  'How  many  Mountain- 
eers are  they  going  to  have  in 
the  parade?'" 

Windom  said  his  son  saved 
his  pennies  each  day  after  ad- 
miring Marvin's  Mountaineer 
garb,  and  before  long,  the 
younger  Windom  sported  his 
very  own  set  of  fashionable 
buckskins.  He  now  serves  as 
the  "Little  Mountaineer'  join- 
ing Poling  in  his  spirit  building 
role. 

Once    Marvin    finished 


Scottie's  suit,  the  current 
Mountaineer  Rick  Poling  was 
serving  as  an  alternate  for  the 
Syracuse  game.  The  suit 
which  1977-78  Mountaineer 
Bruce  Heisler  wore  was  too 
tight  for  Rick,  so  he  borrowed 
Marvin's.  "I  got  a  lot  of  com- 
pliments from  the  alumni," 
Poling  noted.  "We  got  talking 
in  Mountain  about  the  possi- 
bilities of  a  new  uniform,  and 
decided  to  take  our  case  to 
the  Athletic  Department,  who 
furnishes  the  Mountaineer's 
uniform  and  gun  when 
needed." 

Robert  Coin,  assistant  ath- 
letic director,  loved  the  idea 
and  agreed  that  Wotring's  of- 
fer of  a  complete  outfit  for 
$595  was  a  real  bargain. 

Although  the  decision  to  go 
ahead  with  Marvin's  offer 
didn't  come  until  mid-July, 
the  38-year  old  father  of  three 
worked  tediously  on  the  suit 
until  it  was  completed— just 
days    before    the    Mountain- 


40     Morgantown  Craftsman 


eers'  home  opener  against 
Richmond.  Wotring  worked 
for  about  six  hours  each  eve- 
ning and  16-17  hours  on 
weekends  to  complete  the 
product,  and  two  weeks  later, 
called  Rod  and  Rick  over  to 
inspect  his  product.  When 
the  pair  arrived,  they  ex- 
pected a  half-finished  suit, 
but  were  surprised  to  find 
complete  buckskins  ala  pow- 
der horn,  leather  pouch, 
coonskin  cap,  rifle  case  and 
muzzleloader. 

Those  involved  with  asking 
the  Morgantown  craftsman  to 
make  the  suit  agreed  that  a 
"no  frills  boy"  rifle  would 
have  to  do,  especially  when 
the  Mountaineer  was  getting 
all  the  extras  on  the  remain- 
der of  the  outfit.  However, 
Marvin  second-guessed  them 
and  did  what  Windom  called 
a  "special"  job.  "I  really  con- 
centrated on  this  job,"  noted 
Wotring,"  and  I  wanted  to  get 


it  done  fast,  but  at  the  same 
time,  I  wanted  to  do  my 
best."  And  that  he  did. 

The  brown-haired,  blue- 
eyed  craftsman  used  split 
cowhide  on  the  shirt  and 
pants,  brass  engraving  on  the 
muzzleloader  with  a  brass 
replica  of  the  Mountain  State 
inlaid  on  the  handle  and  only 
authentic  materials  from 
West  Virginia. 

Marvin  said  he  felt  "real 
proud"  watching  Poling  at 
athletic  contests  and  said  ev- 
ery time  he  hears  the  muz- 
zleloader fire,  he  thinks  of 
where  it  came  from.  It  is 
amazing  how  drastic  a 
change  Marvin  made  in  just 
four  and  a  half  years.  After 
viewing  his  finished  creations, 
one  would  insist  Marvin  has 
been  at  it  for  his  entire  life- 
time. The  Morgantown  crafts- 
man spends  his  time  more 
productively  now  and  enjoys 
it.  "I  derive  a  lot  of  pleasure 


from  my  work,  and  the  whole 
family  enjoys  shooting, 
camping,  and  competing  with 
others  who  enjoy  shooting 
old  muzzleloaders,  throwing 
tomahawks  and  knives.  I  also 
enjoy  all  the  people  I  meet," 
he  marveled.  "The  people 
just  keep  coming  back  once 
they've  bought  something," 
he  added  with  a  smile. 

Those  responsible  for  the 
Mountaineer's  new  look  are 
quite  fortunate  they  found 
such  a  skilled  craftsman  so 
close  to  home.  The  shoddy, 
lightweight  machine-sewn 
uniform  and  the  muzzleloa- 
der built  from  a  "cheap  Ital- 
ian kit"  have  been  trans- 
formed into  the  most 
"authentic"  Mountaineer  spe- 
cialties ever  imagined. 

And  I'll  bet  Marvin  Wotring 

is  still  grin'in  and  shak'in  his 

head  up  and  down  as  usual.

A  Celebration  of  the  State 


42     Mountaineer  Week 


I      One  of  the  many  events  of  the  week  was  chopping 
I      in  the  Lair  garden. 

Dr.   Eldoonie's  Magic  Medicine  Show  had  many 
avoiding  classes. 


The  Arts  and  Crafts  Fair  had  many  students  wishing 
for  more  money. 


West  Virginians  were  pleasantly  sur- 
prised to  hear  their  radios  playing  a  pop- 
ular opening  with  the  words,  "Almost 
Heaven,  West  Virginia  . . ."  in  the  au- 
tumn of  1971.  The  song  quickly  became 
a  semi-official  anthem,  and  "Almost 
Heaven"  became  a  popular  slogan.  Un- 
like the  slogans  that  boosters  cranked 
out  in  the  past,  "Almost  Heaven"  was 
not  an  attempt  to  create  pride  where 
pride  was  lacking. 

"Heritage  is  a  peculiar  thing.  It's  that 
which  has  happened  long  ago  and  few 
people  appreciate  and  you  think  should 
come  back,"  noted  Jim  Comstock,  edi- 
tor of  the  West  Virginia  Hillbilly.

A  Celebration 


Through  the  week-long  festival  of  arts 
and  crafts,  demonstrations,  speakers  and 
entertainers,  all  dealing  with  West  Vir- 
ginia or  Appalachian  culture,  participants 
were  able  to  see  the  meaning  of  one's 
heritage,  especially  West  Virginia's 
heritage. 

Mountaineer  Week  has  developed 
into  a  tradition  and  novelty  at  the  Uni- 
versity. It  is  an  incentive  to  examine  the 
Mountain  State's  heritage  and  what  it 
has  to  offer. 

Quilt  shows  and  competitions  were 
offered  to  the  University  students.  Dr.  El- 
doonie's  Magic  Show,  Roger  Bryant  and 
Aunt  Jenny  Wilson  provided  an  inter- 
esting side-light  to  classes.  Craftsmen 
were  in  action  spinning,  weaving,  blow- 
ing, splitting  shingles,  braiding  rugs  and 
hand-hewing  logs. 


Rick  Palmer  fiddled  his  way  through  the  week. 

Cindy  Cline  and  Kevin  Mallison  were  chosen  as 
Mr.  and  Ms.  Mountaineer.

Students  had  the  opportunity  to  buy 
items  from  craftsmen  in  the  Lair  Ball- 
rooms at  the  Arts  and  Crafts  Fair.  Fid- 
dlers played  their  way  into  the  students' 
hearts.  It  went  directly  to  their  feet  as 
they  danced  on  the  plaza  and  in  the  Lair. 

At  the  game  on  Saturday,  fans 
watched  the  Mountaineers  battle  their 
way  on  the  field  against  Virginia  in  a  20- 
17  win.  At  the  half-time  activities,  the 
presentation  of  Most  Loyal  West  Vir- 
ginian went  to  James  F.  Dent  with  the 
Most  Loyal  Mountaineer  going  to 
Charles  Wise  and  Elizabeth  Wise.  Mr. 
and  Ms.  Mountaineer  were  Kevin  Malli- 
son  and  Cindy  Cline. 


Crafts   of   all    kinds   were    displayed    in    the    Lair 
Ballrooms.

Most  students  have  found  that  the 
Mountainlair  is  the  place. 

Located  on  the  Downtown  campus,  it 
is  one  of  the  busiest  student  centers  in 
the  nation. 

More  commonly  known  as  the  "Lair," 
the  building  was  built  in  1968  after  the 
burning  of  the  old  student  union. 

Long  lines  at  Check  Cashing  were  always  expected.

In  1948,  WVU  acquired  its  first  cam-

name  the  center.  Mrs.  John  Shott  of 
Bluefield,  WV  thought  of  the  name 
Mountainlair:  "lair  as  a  den  for 
mountaineers." 

In  1952,  students  recommended  a  stu- 
dent fee  to  sell  bonds  to  finance  con- 
struction of  a  new  Mountainlair.  The 
new  Lair  opened  in  October  of  1967, 
and  was  dedicated  on  April  20,  1968.

The  Lair  is  considered  a  model  student 
union  with  over  20,000  persons  using  it 
daily.  The  number  of  meetings  and  pro- 
grams has  grown  to  5,000  a  year.  Offi- 
cials have  considered  building  a  satellite 
student  union  on  the  Evansdale  campus. 

At  WVU,  the  Mountainlair  has  be- 
come the  focal  point  of  activities  and 
has  become  as  intimate  a  part  of  the 
University  as  the  Mountaineers.

In  August,  students  were  greeted  by 
construction  crews  all  over  the  campus. 
Renovation  of  Woodburn  Circle  contin- 
ued. Chitwood  Hall  reopened  in  De- 
cember. Woodburn  Hall  is  scheduled  to 
open  for  the  1979-80  year. 

The  PRT  construction  seemed  to 
dominate  the  campuses.  Workers  bat- 
tled all  types  of  weather  in  efforts  to 
complete  the  "people  mover"  on  time. 

Stansbury  and  Colson  Hall  were  also 
locations  for  renovation.  Construction  of 
the  new  library  began. 

All  students,  faculty  and  staff  agreed 
that  the  renovations  would  add  a  great 
deal  to  the  "academic  atmosphere"  at 
the  University. 


Renovation  of  Chitwood  Hall  was  completed  late 
in  1978. 


Construction  of  the  PRT  to  the  Medical  Center  of- 
ten caused  traffic  tie-ups. 

Upon  completion,  Colson  Hall  will  house  offices

a  beer  case  stacking  contest  sponsored 
by  Stroh's.  The  preliminary  competition 
took  place  in  the  Lair  ballrooms.  Finals 
were  held  during  halftime  of  the  WVU- 
Duquesne  game.  The  winning  team  rep- 
resented Pi  Kappa  Phi  fraternity.  Each 
member  of  the  winning  team  received  a

dents study  all  the  time?

Dystrophy.  The  energetic  couples  of  the

participated.  Ed  Longanacre,  club  presi-

In  the  1978-79  Rugby  Club,  separate 
men's  and  women's  divisions  competed 
in  intercollegiate  games  with  tri-weekly 
practices.  The  team,  coached  by  Dr. 
Cedrick  Quick,  finished  the  season  with 
a  losing  record.  Competition  included 
teams  from  Charleston,  Youngstown, 
Maryland,  Ohio  State,  Penn  State,  and 
Pittsburgh. 

The  Scuba  Club  sponsored  dives  in 
various  lakes  throughout  the  area.  One 
of  the  most  successful  dives  was  an 
ecology  dive  in  conjunction  with  ASPA. 
The  dive  was  a  general  clean-up  of 
Cheat  Lake.  Aluminum  cans  were  col- 
lected and  recycled.  The  proceeds  were 
donated  to  the  Monongalia  Art  Center. 

The  Sports  Federation  involved  many 
students.  It  was  clear  that  the  organiza- 
tion will  become  one  of  the  more  im- 
portant in  years  to  come.

Free  time!  What's  that?  That 
seems  to  be  the  general  question 
of  WVU  students.  No  one  seems  to 
know  what  it  is;  yet  everyone  can 
find  something  to  do  with  it. 

The  average  student  spends  16 
hours  per  week  in  class.  With  16 
hours  of  classes,  the  recommended 
study  time  is  45  hours  a  week,  and 
8  hours  sleep  a  night.  That  leaves 
51  hours  for  a  student  to  spend  as 
he  or  she  wants.  But  who  really 
sleeps  8  hours  a  night  and  studies  7 
Vi  hours  a  day? 

Most  students  will  sacrifice 
classes  or  sleep  for  a  few  extra 
hours  of  free  time.  According  to  a 
recent  MONTICOLA  survey,  the 
students'  favorite  way  to  spend 
free  time  was  a  night  out  with 
friends. 

To  some  people,  a  night  out  with 
friends  meant  a  visit  to  Sunnyside, 
Morgantown's  answer  to  the  Las 
Vegas  Strip.  Friday  and  Saturday 
nights  found  Sunnyside  filled  with 
students  hell-bent  on  having  a 
good  time.  If  you  had  "Saturday 
Night  Fever,"  Fat  Daddy's,  Mur- 
phy's, or  Mickey's  would  have  ap- 
pealed to  you.  The  more  sophis- 
ticated crowd  chose  to  spend  their 
time  at  the  Executive  Club,  Bam- 
boo Lounge,  and  other  more  ex- 
pensive establishments. 


82     Entertainment 


West  Virginia  University  had  several  outstanding 
concerts  during  the  year. 


Drama  and  music  lovers  could 
attend  the  full  program  of  events 
offered  at  the  Creative  Arts  Center. 
Events  ranged  from  recitals  to  vis- 
iting artists  to  full  scale  produc- 
tions. Student  Government  and 
other  various  organizations  con- 
tributed to  the  WVU  entertainment 
by  providing  concerts,  coffee- 
houses, speakers  and  movies.  Sec- 
ond only  to  a  night  out  with  friends 
was  T.V.,  radio,  and  stereo.  Billy 
Joel's  albums,  "52nd  Street"  and 
"The  Stranger"  held  the  1st  and 
2nd  choices  in  the  favorite  album 
category.  The  overwhelming  favor- 
ite T.V.  show  was  "Mork  and 
Mindy."  Comic  Steve  Martin 
topped  the  list  for  favorite 
personality.

Sally  Ann  Howe  portrayed  Maria  in  the  Ginger- 
bread production  of  "The  Sound  of  Music". 

Without  his  trumpet,  Maynard  Ferguson  would  just

Liona  Boyd  made  magic  with  her  guitar. 


84     Classical  Arts 


WVU  and  the  Arts 


The  ALLNATIONS  Dance  Company  presented  tra- 
ditional folk  and  classical  cultures  of  our  world 
through  dance. 

A  dance  of  the  Caribbean  Islands,  "Flirtation",  was 
performed  by  the  ALLNATIONS  Dance  Company. 


Classical  Arts  worked  hard  this  year  in 
bringing  various  types  of  entertainment 
to  West  Virginia  University.  One  of  the 
largest  productions  was  the  Gingerbread 
production  of  "The  Sound  of  Music". 

A  different  style  of  dancing  from  all 
cultures  of  the  world  was  performed  by 
the  ALLNATIONS  Dance  Company.  The 
ALLNATIONS  Dance  Company,  a 
troupe  of  professional  dancers,  have 
performed  all  over  the  world  in  concerts, 
television  shows  and  cultural  festivals. 

For  the  music  lover,  Herbie  Mann, 
Maynard  Ferguson  and  Liona  Boyd  were 
in  concert  at  WVU  for  the  students'  lis- 
tening pleasure.

Leon  Redbone  recreated  turn-of-century  tunes  and 
kept  a  Ballroom  audience  captivated  with  his  mu- 
sic and  asides. 

Sunday,  February  11  was  an  evening 
most  students  attending  the  Leon  Red- 
bone  concert  won't  forget. 

Strolling  onto  the  stage  in  an  antique 
suit  and  carrying  a  walking  stick,  Red- 
bone  was  the  image  of  the  Midwestern 
gentleman,  half-a-century  removed. 

The  crowd  knew  what  to  expect  and 
mellowed  out  with  him  in  a  fun,  musi- 
cally admirable  evening. 

One  month  later,  Sunday,  March  11, 
Mini  Events  sponsored  another  great 
concert.  The  Nighthawks  flew  in  for  a 
pair  of  Lair  Ballroom  performances.  The 
four-year-old,  four-piece  blues  and 
boogie  band  from  Washington,  D.C.  has 
established  themselves  as  one  of  the  top 
regional  bands  along  the  Eastern 
seaboard. 

The  Mini  Events  Committee  of  Stu- 
dent Administration  went  big  time  with 
their  concerts  during  the  year.

Shows  Everywhere 


Members  of  Mountain  Jazz  Theatre,  a  University 
dance  ensemble,  rehearse  in  the  E.  Moore  Hall 
dance  studio. 

Maynard  Ferguson  cracked  open  high-register 
notes  with  vituoso  trumpeting. 

"The  Shadow  Box,"  1977  award  winning  drama 
tells  the  story  of  how  three  cancer  victims  deal  with 
death.  The  show  opened  the  week  of  March  6  at 
the  CAC. 


West  Virginia  University  has  entertain- 
ment everywhere.  Ranging  from  con- 
certs and  plays  at  the  CAC  to  coffee- 
houses and  performances  at  the  Blue 
Tic,  students  always  had  a  wide  selection 
of  entertainment. 


Orchesis 


Orchesis  reflected  on  the  40's  with  their  version  of 
"Chattanooga  Choo  Choo". 

One  of  the  dances  of  the  50th  Anniversary  Concert 
was  "Appalachian  Holiday",  a  modern  ballet.

■    II    mil  mil         — 


Many  hours  were  spent  rehearsing  in  E.  Moore 
Hall  before  the  members  of  Orchesis  are  confident 
they  could  present  a  good  show. 

Accompanied  by  the  Percussion  Ensemble,  the 
dancers  performed  "Toccato-Third  Movement". 


This  year,  Orchesis  celebrated  its  50th 
year  of  existence  on  the  campus  of  West 
Virginia  University.  Under  the  direction 
of  Mary  Kathryne  Wiedebusch,  the 
dance  company  presented  a  special  per- 
formance, a  50th  Anniversary  Concert.  A 
highlight  of  the  concert  was  the  number 
choreographed  by  Dan  Wagoner,  a  pro- 
fessional dancer  and  choreographer  in 
New  York  City.  Wagoner  is  a  graduate  of 

wvu.

92     Doobie  Brothers 


"Blackwater",  "China  Grove",  "TakirT 
It  To  The  Streets"  and  "It  Keeps  You 
Runnin'. . ."  were  just  songs  on  the  radio 
until  September  24,  1978  when  the 
Doobie  Brothers  brought  the  songs 
alive.  The  Doobie  Brothers  played  for 
two  hours  and  the  sell-out  crowd  played 
with  them  through  every  song.  Hun- 
dreds of  people  sang  with  the  group  or 
stood  and  clapped  with  the  music.  The 
time  was  magic  and  the  Doobies  held 
the  crowd,  and  in  turn,  the  crowd  kept 
bringing  them  back  for  encores.  For  one 
night,  the  Doobie  Brothers  really  did 
shine  under  the  Morgantown  Moon. 


The  Doobie  Brothers  held  the  crowd  spellbound 
for  two  hours. 

The  sound  of  the  keyboards  added  to  the  fantastic 
sound  which  came  from  the  WVU  Coliseum  on 
September  24.

Would  Boston  be  cancelled  due  to 
snow?  That  seemed  to  be  the  general 
question  of  the  week  preceding  the  con- 
cert. The  sky  was  clear,  no  snow  was  in 
sight  and  Boston  made  it  to  the  WVU 
Coliseum  Jan.  26,  1979. 

The  Coliseum  was  filled  as  the  show 
opened  with  Sammy  Hagar.  After  keep- 
ing the  crowd  entertained  for  an  hour, 
there  was  an  intermission.  The  wait  was 
longer  than  expected,  but  it  was  worth  it 
as  Boston  took  the  stage.  The  crowd  ex- 
ploded to  their  sound.  The  crowd  re- 
sponded to  each  song  and  did  not  let 
the  group  leave  without  several  encores. 


Brad  Delp  did  not  seem  to  mind  giving  the  crowd 
more  of  what  they  wanted  to  hear. 

Tom  Sholtz  enjoyed  performing  as  much  as  the 
crowd  enjoyed  listening  to  him  play.

ment  the  week  before  finals.

All  concerts  were  to  be  held  outside,  but  were

As  each  day  passes,  we  see  hundreds  of  different  people. 
No  two  have  the  same  personality,  the  same  way  of  life.  But, 
each  is  a  special  part  of  West  Virginia  University.  Whether 
freshman,  sophomore,  junior  or  senior,  each  is  a  Mountaineer. 
Although  activities  of  each  student,  each  Mountaineer,  are  so 
different,  each  is  Livin'  Mountaineer  Style.

Any  person  can  be  an  athlete  in  his  own  way,  but  a  WVU 
athlete  is  a  special  person.  He  is  a  Mountaineer.  He  competes 
with  the  feeling  that  the  final  score  is  only  for  statistics.  The 
true  meaning  of  a  contest  is  the  feeling  of  being  a  Mountain- 
eer. Every  West  Virginia  University  athlete  knows  it's  not 
whether  you  win  or  lose  . . .  it's  Livin'  Mountaineer  Style. 


^ 


Gale  Catlett  brought  a  winning  attitude  with 
him.  This  player  shoots  for  two. 


I 


The  first  win  of  the  season  had  the  Mountaineers 
and  the  fans  wanting  more. 

WVU  swimmers  were  once  again  very  successful. 


Sports     209 


Team  Makes  History 


Ken  Braswell  began  another  season  with  this  tackle 
of  a  Richmond  opponent. 


Once  again,  Fulton  Walker  was  the  ball  carrier. 
Jack  Palmer  would  not  let  this  opponent  escape 


210     Football 


Doc  Holliday,  Jeff  Macerelli  and  John  Bendana  al- 
ways looked  as  though  they  meant  business. 

This  pileup  found  WVU  on  the  bottom  once  again. 


A  fan,  is  a  fan,  is  a  fan!  Loyal  and  spir- 
ited to  the  end,  the  fan  is  always  there 
rooting  for  the  team.  This  year's  football 
fans'  loyalty  and  patience  were  put  to  a 
test.  We  passed  with  flying  colors! 

So  our  football  team  won  only  two 
games  and  lost  nine.  We  were  the  only 
team  to  play  the  top  two  ranking  teams. 
Think  about  it! 

Our  team  was  young  and  inexperi- 
enced, but  tried  hard.  The  Mountaineers' 
determination  was  a  major  factor  in 
keeping  together.  Not  too  many  other 
schools  had  a  schedule  like  ours.  If  we 
cannot  brag  about  our  record,  why  not 
brag  about  who  we  played?  Think  about 
it! 

The  Mountaineers  started  off  their 
season  with  a  14-12  victory  over  the 
Richmond  Spiders.  Dutch  Hoffman  was 
named  the  Offensive  Player  of  the  week 
for  this  performance.  Hoffman  com- 
pleted 11  of  23  passes  for  a  total  of  176 
yards.  Robert  Alexander  was  the  game's 
top  rusher  with  84  yards  on  19  carries. 
Curt    Carion   waved    the    Mountaineers 


with  his  booming  kicks  that  kept  the  Spi- 
ders in  their  web.  The  big  play  of  the 
game  was  a  41  yard  TD  pass  play  be- 
tween quarterback  Dutch  Hoffman  and 
wide  receiver  Cedric  Thomas. 

There  is  not  much  that  can  be  said 
about  the  game  with  Oklahoma.  The 
Mountaineers  played  on  the  Sooners' 
turf  under  extreme  heat.  The  heat  did 
not  turn  the  team  "red  hot".  Over  70,000 
people  attended  the  game  and  the  final 
score  was  52-10.  The  Sooners  were  just 
too  fast,  just  too  agile-just  too  good.  To 
play  the  number  one  team  was  an  honor 
in  itself.  Think  about  it! 

In  the  third  game  of  the  season,  the 
Mountaineers  were  nipped  by  North 
Carolina's  Wolfpack  with  a  final  score  of 
19-15.  The  Mountaineers  were  off  to  a 
good  start  in  the  first  quarter  with  a 
score  of  12-7,  but  they  could  hold  down 
Ted  Brown  whose  two  key  plays  led  to 
two  touchdowns-they  meant  the  differ- 
ence between  a  15-15  tie.  Coach  Cig- 
netti's  approach  to  the  game  was  to 
make  North  Carolina  beat  themselves, 
but  that  plan  did  not  work.  The  score 
was  close,  but  the  Wolfpack  was  just  too 
fierce. 

The  Mountaineers  lost  a  heartbreaking 
fourth  game  to  the  California  Bears.  The 
final  score  was  28-21.  It  was  heart- 
breaking because  the  Mountaineers  dis- 
played both  offensive  and  defensive  tal- 
ents against  a  skilled  team.  The 
Mountaineers  freshman  backfield  was 
impressive  after  they  moved  the  ball 
downfield  with  no  trouble.

They  Played  Tough 


For  the  sixth  year  in  a  row,  the  Moun- 
taineers lost  the  Homecoming  game. 
The  final  score  was  31-15.  Three  times 
the  Mountaineer  fans  saw  their  team 
fizzle  out  within  the  Syracuse  ten-yard 
ine.  We  just  could  not  get  the  ball  on 
our  side  as  the  Orangemen  squeezed 
the  Mountaineers. 

In  the  sixth  game  of  the  season,  nei- 
ther WVU  or  Virginia  Tech  deserved  to 
win,  but  VT  did  with  a  16-3  decision. 
Both  teams  performed  sloppily,  had  nu- 
merous turnovers  and  missed  several 
key  kicks.  Fifteen  fumbles  were  re- 
corded-twelve  occurred  in  the  first 
thirty  seconds. 

One  point,  just  one  point  behind! 
Against  Temple,  the  Mountaineers  led  a 
passing  attack  on  the  first  half  and  led  a 
running  attack  in  the  second  half.  What 
happened?  The  Mountaineers  lost  their 
momentum.  The  Owls  took  over;  the 
Mountaineers  could  not  come  back.

The  first  seven  minutes  of  the  WVU- 
Penn  State  game  were  thrilling.  Everyone 
was  delirious  while  the  score  was  14-0. 
The  Lions  removed  the  thorns  from  their 
paws,  turned  around  and  regained  con- 
trol of  the  ball  and  the  game.  The  final 
score  found  the  Lions  victorious.  We 
could  only  have  the  nationally  ranked 
team  by  the  tail  for  so  long. 

In  the  ninth  game,  the  Mountaineers 
broke  their  seven  game  losing  streak  by 
winning  over  the  University  of  Virginia 
29-17.  Dutch  Hoffman  passed  for  106 
yards  and  scored  a  touchdown.  Defen- 
sive linebackers  Ken  Braswell  and  John 
Garcai  combined  for  25  tackles  and  Ful- 
ton Walker  chalked  up  87  yards.  Finally, 
the  Mountaineers  played  a  game  of 
football  that  paid  off.  The  Cavaliers  were 
playing  something  else.

Think  About  It 


In  the  tenth  game,  the  Pitt  Panthers 
leaped  on  the  Mountaineers  and 
crushed  them  with  no  mercy.  Hindered 
by  injuries  and  ineffectiveness,  the 
Mountaineers  lost  to  Pitt  by  a  whopping 
score  of  52-7.  WVU's  lone  score  was  by 
the  efforts  of  Hoffman  and  Steve  Lewis. 
In  a  Pitt  fumble,  the  Mountaineers  al- 
most regained  the  ball,  but  Panther  Dave 
DiCiccio  got  in  the  way  of  the  Hoffman 
to  Duggan  pass.  While  the  Mountaineers 
jumped  back  on  the  losing  side  once 
again,  the  Panthers  gained  another  win. 

The  Mountaineers  lost  their  last  game 
of  the  season  to  Colorado  State  by  a 
score  of  52-14.  Although  WVU  scored 
two  touchdowns  on  the  Rams,  the  Rams 
succeeded  in  butting  WVU  into  the  wall. 
What  else  can  be  said  except  that  this 
season  was  a  hard  one  to  swallow.  Think 
about  it!

with  an  8-6-1  record.  Compared  to  last 
year's  team,  the  team  appeared  to  be 
stronger  and  to  play  more  as  a  team. 
This  fairly  young  team  was  opposed  by 
many  stronger  teams  such  as  Clemson, 
Southern  Florida,  Navy,  and  Cleveland 
State. 

Against  Alderson-Broaddus,  the  play- 
ers presented  a  tight  passing  and  aggres- 
sive defensive  play  which  upset  the  A-B 
plan.  The  Mountaineers  brought  the 
crowd  to  their  feet  many  times  through-

On  the  side  horse,  Neil  Robinson  was  a  potential  threat  to  his  opposition. 


Under  the  superior  coaching  of  Bill 
Bonsall,  the  Men's  Gymnastics  team  had 
a  very  rewarding  season  this  year.  The 
team  competed  with  schools  of  very 
high  caliber  and  still  came  out  favorably. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  season,  the 
members  set  a  goal  of  180  points  a 
"meet".  In  gymnastic  ranking,  this  con- 
stitutes a  good  team.  The  men  gymnasts 
have  met  their  goal  on  several  accounts, 
breaking  last  year's  record  of  176  points. 

Mike  Sleeper  is  definitely  a  key  indi- 
vidual. Coach  Bonsall  considers  him  the 
"Bruce  Jenner"  of  the  team.  Another 
outstanding  player  is  Brett  Kelly.  He  is 
one  of  the  team's  best  floor  exercise 
men  and  the  only  West  Virginia  native 
on  the  team.  Ironically,  West  Virginia 
gymnasts  are  hard  to  find.  The  team  as  a 
whole  was  well  trained  and  talented  and 
all  members  were  necessary  to  produce 
a  successful  season.

The  women's  tennis  team  had  a  tre-

matches.  The  highlight  came  when  the 
team  defeated  Marshall  both  at  home 
and  away,  for  the  first  time  in  three 
years. 

These  wins  gave  the  Number  One 
state  ranking  back  to  WVU,  and  it  also 
gave  them  a  berth  in  the  AWIA  Region 
Five  Tournament  in  Indiana.  Coach 
Thorn  allowed  8  of  the  16  girls  on  the 
team  to  travel.  In  comparison  to  other 
teams,  this  is  a  fairly  large  number.

Best  Beginning 


EXCITING!  Wins,  losses,  and  ties-ex- 
citing was  the  word  for  the  78-79  wres- 
tling team.  Boasting  a  9-3-1  record  under 
first  year  coach  Craig  Turnbull,  the  WVU 
grapplers  had  their  best  beginning  in  the 
last  15  years.  Their  three  losses  went  to 
teams  that  were  ranked  among  the  top 
15  in  the  country.  The  team's  one  tie  was 
with  Ohio  University  who  was  ranked  13 
among  college  teams  last  year. 

Turnbull  had  a  relatively  young  team 
to  work  with  this  year:  seven  soph- 
omores and  three  freshman.  With  such  a 
young  team  and  a  brand  new  coach,  the 
matmen  did  extremely  well.  They  gave 
Maryland  (whom  they  have  not  beaten 
since  1950)  a  big  surprise  when  they 
"floored"  them  27-15.  That  was  the  most 
exciting  match  of  the  entire  season.

Wrestling    brought     close    encounters    of    the 
strangest  kind. 


Although  everyone  on  the  team  con- 
tributed tremendous  effort  and  ability, 
there  have  been  a  few  men  who  deserve 
some  recognition.  Sophomore  Mark 
Cagle  was  a  great  asset  to  the  team  this 
year.  He  finished  the  year  with  a  15-1 
record  and  was  ranked  14  in  the  country 
by  "Wrestlers  Magazine."  Mike  Perry 
helped  the  team  with  his  10-3  record.  Up 
and  coming  freshman,  Joel  Davia  put 
forth  much  effort  and  finished  off  the 
year  with  a  12-3-1  record. 

All  in  all,  this  has  been  an  interesting 
season.  The  wrestlers  and  fans  have 
been  satisfied,  and  no  matter  what  the 
outcome  of  any  match,  it  was  always 
EXCITING.

ming and  Diving  Championships  held  at

"We  impressed  a  lot  of  people  with 
our  program,"  said  Head  Coach  Kevin

Coach  of  the  Year  honors,  and  junior 
John  Havlik  swam  away  with  the  meet's 
Outstanding  Swimmer  Award.  At  the 
meet,  Havlik  qualified  for  nationals.

232     Basketball 


As  the  basketball  season  drew  near, 
hopeful  Mountaineer  fans  looked  to  it 
with  reserved  anticipation.  The  previous 
season  had  ended  with  a  "negative  atti- 
tude" settling  on  the  basketball  program 
so  a  new  coaching  staff  headed  by  WVU 
alumus  Gale  Catlett  was  asked  to  rebuild 
its  crumbling  reputation. 

After  the  campaign  was  history,  Cat- 
lett called  this  17th  year  in  the  business, 
"probably  my  most  enjoyable  year  of 
coaching." 

Getting  a  late  start  on  the  recruiting 
trail,  "The  Cat"  had  to  rely  heavily  on  the 
forces  of  a  12-16  squad  from  a  year  be- 
fore. He  warned  the  West  Virginia  fol- 
lowers not  to  expect  miracles,  or  for  that 
matter,  a  year  much  beyond  a  "rebuild- 
ing" one. 


Lowes  Moore  once  again   proved  himself  a  key 
player  in  the  Virginia  Tech  game. 

At  Duquesne,  Moore  showed  the  opponents  that 
WVU  belonged  at  the  top.

On  Our  Way  to  the  Top 


When  the  final  whistle  had  blown, 
WVU  owned  a  16-12  mark,  had  set  a 
new  single  season  attendance  record,  a 
new  single  game  state  attendance  mark 
and  had  finished  second  in  the  Eastern 
Eight. 

The  first  month  on  the  roundball  sea- 
son, WVU  rode  the  proverbial  roller 
coaster.  Catlett  and  company  opened  in 
the  Coliseum  by  winning  the  first  two 
games  and  eventually  proving  its  14-4 
home  record  didn't  happen  by  chance. 

But  three  contests  later  probably  the 
lowest  points  of  the  year  were  suffered 
as  the  Louisville  Cardinals  flew  away 
with  106-60  decision  followed  by  a  loss 
to  Ohio  University  in  the  first  round  of 
the  West  Virginia  Classic. 

Christmas  break  had  emptied  Mor- 
gantown  and  few  saw  the  beginning  of

streak  starting  with  state  rival  Marshall.

Four  consecutive  victories,  two  of 
them  on  last  second  jumpers,  led  up  to  a 
frenzied  83-82  triumph  over  Metro-7 
conference  champion  Virginia  Tech.  In 
the  battle,  guard  Lowes  Moore  danced 
on  the  Cobbler  defense  to  the  tune  of  34 
points  to  set  a  WVU  individual  season 
high. 

During  the  victory  skein,  sixth  man 
Dana  Perno  started  emerging  to  his 
eventual  starting  status  after  14  and  20- 
point  performances  back-to-back.  As 
the  streak  ended  with  an  away  loss 
against  Duquesne,  marred  by  the  fist- 
cuffs  of  Duke's  guard  Baron  "B.B."  Fle- 
nory,  the  "Lowes  Show"  had  just  begun. 

In  four  games,  the  junior  scoring  ma- 
chine poured  in  124  points  and  in  the 
process  was  named  EAA  Player  of  The 
Week  twice  and  ECAC  Co-Player  of  The 
Week.  By  mid-January  WVU  possessed 
a  10-4  record. 

But  the  mercury  continued  to  drop 
outside  and  so  did  WVU's  basketball 
stability.  Catlett's  old  Cincinnati  team 
rolled  into  the  Coliseum  and  over  the 
Mountaineers.  A  road  trip  north  pro- 
vided two  more  marks  in  the  lost  col-

game. 


umn  with  a  41 -point  blowout  by  league- 
leader  Villanova  and  a  loss  to  eastern 
power  Syracuse. 

When  WVU  was  forced  to  leave  the 
secure  confines  of  the  Coliseum,  they 
were  somewhat  short  of  even  relative 
successful,  evident  by  a  2-7  away  record. 

Later  back  at  home,  Duquesne  came 
to  Morgantown  but  when  Flenory  saw  a 
picture  of  a  dummy  in  effigy  in  his  honor 
in  the  Athenaeum,  he  decided  Pittsburgh 
was  safer.  The  Dukes  probably  wished 
they  had  gone  back  with  him  as  WVU 
coasted  to  a  28-point  victory. 

This  momentum  was  carried  for  a 
seven-point  decision  over  Rutgers  but 
two  games  later  Eastern  Kentucky's 
James  "Turkey"  Tillman's  34  points  shot 
the  Blue  and  Gold  down.  That  brought 
them  home  for  a  confrontation  with  a 
team  that  was  not  likely  to  be  awed  by  a 
home  court  advantage. 

Third  ranked  Notre  Dame  drew  the 
largest  crowd  in  the  state's  basketball 
history-15,118-but  a  second  half  surge 
doused  any  WVU  upset  hopes.  The  Irish 
did,  however  feel  the  student  body's 
presence  as  the  court  was  frequently 
showered  with  marshmallows  at  any 
questionable  call.

As  the  campaign  wound  to  a  close,  a 
last  second  shot  by  Moore  gave  WVU  a 
victory  over  George  Washington  and  the 
home  court  advantage  in  the  EAA  open- 
ing round.  Duquesne's  second  visit  to 
Morgantown  again  resulted  in  a  loss  as 
forward  Greg  Nance  seemed  to  have  a 
patent  on  the  basket  connecting  on  10 
of  12  attempts. 

"Lew"  showed  this  Penn  Stater  that  WVU  was  best.

loss  sent  WVU  home  and  Catlett  into  a 
tizzy.  He  blasted  the  officiating,  calling  it 
"the  worst  I've  seen  in  16  years  of 
coaching"  and  called  the  league  in  gen- 
eral "bush."

But  the  season  was  by  no  means  all 
frustrations  or  hard  times.  Rather,  Catlett 
has  come  home  to  construct  some  bas-

future  to  be  looked  upon  with 
anticipation.

Ladies  Look  to  Next  Year 


It  was  a  frustrating  season  for  the  Lady 
Mountaineers  as  the  women's  basketball 
team  fell  to  their  opponents  16  times; 
winning  nine  encounters. 

A  tougher  schedule  and  untimely  of- 
fensive cold  spells  were  the  biggest  fac- 
tors contributing  to  losses  suffered  to 
Pitt-Johnstown,  Slippery  Rock,  Pitt,  Mor- 
ris Harvey  and  Villanova. 

In  a  majority  of  the  team's  losses,  the 
WVU  squad  saw  decisive  leads  dwindle 
before  falling  victims  to  rejuvenated  sec- 
ond half  opponents. 

"Other  teams  will  look  at  our  record 
and  see  we  lost  16  games.  They  won't 
see  our  stats  or  look  at  the  two,  three 
and  four-point  losses;  they'll  just  see  that 
we  lost,"  said  Coach  Kitty  Blakemore. 

And  by  looking  at  the  stats,  one  can 
see  that  the  season's  mark  was  no  in- 
dication of  the  skill  and  ability  of  the 
Lady  Mountaineers  who  faced  the  sea- 
son's start  with  10  returnees  and  three 
highly  recruited  freshmen. 

Seniors  Linda  Findo,  Mary  Hennen 
and  Jean  Mewshaw  were  key  players  in 
the  teams'  nine  victories. 

In  the  season's  opener  Findo,  Hennen 
and  Mewshaw  scored  in  double  figures 
to  open  the  term  with  a  victory  over 
Trenton  State. 

The  three  seniors  figured  importantly 
in  the  team's  first  win  in  the  Pitt 
Invitational. 

In  the  Second  WVU  Invitational,  the 
women  took  second  place  losing  to 
Morgan  State  in  the  championship  80- 
78.  Maine  transfer,  Carla  Cyr,  Winegar 
and  Findo  supplied  the  fire  power  in  the 
two  day  tournament  ousting  Towson 
State  College  in  the  first  round  to  set  the 
match  with  Morgan  State. 


Coach  Kitty  Blakemore  did  her  best  to  call  suitable 
plays. 

The  girls  saw  disappointment  the  most  times  since 
the  start  of  women's  basketball  at  WVU. 


244     Basketball 


Stats   showed   games  were   lost   by   only   several 
points. 


Basketball     245 


Marshall  fell  to  the  Blakemore 
coached  squad  in  the  Coliseum  85-82 
with  Hennen  canning  23  points  and 
grabbing  10  rebounds. 

In  Huntington,  the  women  of  WVU 
spoiled  the  Green  Gals  dreams  with  a 
66-54  defeat  of  the  Thundering  Herd 
with  Findo  collecting  16  markers  and  Pat 
Hovorka,  13. 

Two  bright  spots  during  the  gloomy 
season  were  Hennen's  reaching  the  1000 
career  point  mark  netted  in  the  LaSalle 
College  game  and  Findo's  prospect  for 
being  drafted  into  the  Southern  or  West- 
ern League  of  the  Women's  Professional 
Basketball  Association. 

The  coach  commended  the  team  on 
its  play.  "The  players  played  hard  and 
never  wanted  to  quit.  There  just  were 
times  when  the  basketball  wouldn't  go 
in  the  basket." 


Cindy  Winegar  broke  the  team's  assist  record  dur- 
ing the  year. 

Opponents  became  tougher  in  the  second  half.

The  team's  1-3  record  is  not  indicative 
of  the  improvement  of  the  team  this 
year. 

The  team  took  a  first  place  in  the  West 
Virginia  Wesleyan  Triangular.  The  Moun- 
taineers finished  well  ahead  of  Wesleyan 
and  Fairmont.  It  was  the  team's  first  top 
finish  since  the  WVU  invitational  that 
opened  the  season.

The  WVU  baseball  team  had  a  disap- 
pointing season  in  the  eyes  of  Coach 
Dale  Ramsburg.  The  Mountaineers  were 
washed  out  of  16  contests  during  the 
season.  This  included  10  home  cancella- 
tions and  six  away. 

Though  WVU  has  played  just  six 
home  contests  this  year,  it  still  has 
chalked  up  a  9-13  slate.

on  the  baseball  program. 

Starters  for  four  seasons,  both  have 
been  instrumental  in  the  Blue  and  Gold's

Time  alone  can  be  very  precious.  However,  time  with  others 
can  be  a  learning  experience  with  which  classes  could  not 
compare.  Students  come  together  to  learn,  grow  and  be  a  part 
of  a  special  group.  No  matter  what  the  name  of  the  group  or

Alpha  Upsilon  Chapter  of  Alpha  Delta 
Pi  was  founded  at  WVU  in  1924.  Since  its 
beginning,  more  than  800  girls  have  been 
initiated  into  the  chapter.  This  year  has 
been  an  exciting  one.  Twenty-two  young 
women  became  our  new  sisters. 

Pledge  pranks,  parties,  wild  girls,  crazy 
guys,  serious  moments,  all  come  to  mind 
when  thinking  of  Greek  life.  At  Alpha 
Delta  Pi,  we  have  these  and  many  more. 
This  year's  fund  raisers  included  a  candy 
apple  sale  for  the  West  Virginia  Univer- 
sity Speech  and  Hearing  Clinic,  Christ- 
mas and  Easter  parties  for  the  children  of 
Public  Education  for  Exceptional  Chil- 
dren with  Handicaps  (P.E.E.C.H.),  parti- 
cipation in  the  All  Campus  Dance  Mara- 
thon, Trick  or  Treating  for  UNICEF,  the 
Special  Olympics,  and  Sigma  Chi  Derby 
Days. 

Scholastic  achievements  cannot  be  ig- 
nored as  Alpha  Delta  Pi  sisters  earned 
positions  in  Chimes;  Mortar  Board;  and 
the  journalism,  education  and  band  hon- 
oraries.  Many  sisters  take  an  active  part 
in  varsity  sports.  Several  sisters  are  mem- 
bers of  the  rugby  team,  the  crew  team, 
the  girl's  track  team,  and  the 
Mountainettes. 

Together  we  share  the  love,  friendship 
and  laughter  that  only  A  D  Pi  sisters  can 
know.

Beta  Upsilon  ranked  high  among 
Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  chapters  this  year. 
The  chapter  received  three  awards  at  the 
National  Convention  for  gracious  living, 
membership  and  pledge  training.  Beta 
Upsilon  also  received  the  Best  Overall 
Chapter  Award  at  the  Province  Conven- 
tion in  Williamsburg,  VA. 

One  of  the  newest  programs  for  the 
chapter  is  a  fund  raising  philanthropy  for 
Crohn's  disease.  The  chapter  recently 
initiated  a  Crohn's  disease  fund  at  WVU 
through  the  cooperation  of  the  WVU 
Foundation  and  the  WVU  Medical 
Center. 

Other  activities  for  the  year  included  a 
Monmouth  Duo  celebration  with  Pi  Beta 
Phi,  a  Founder's  Day  luncheon  and  a  su- 
per formal  at  Pipestem  State  Park.  Many 
of  the  sisters  were  also  involved  with 
honoraries,  Student  Administration,  Or-

The  Alpha  Rho  chapter  of  Kappa  Al- 
pha, founded  in  1897,  has  one  of  the 
oldest  and  strongest  traditions  on  the 
WVU  campus.  The  KA's  maintained 
their  image  as  leaders  this  year  by  cap- 
turing first  place  in  Greek  Week. 

Kappa  Alpha  also  co-sponsored  a 
Christmas  Party  for  the  underprivileged 
and  a  Billiards  Tournament  to  raise 
money  for  Muscular  Dystrophy. 

Other  activities  this  year  were  winning 
all-campus  honors  in  archery,  holding 
jiffs  and  band  parties,  a  Farmer's  Ball  and 
playing  music  over  the  campus  from  our 
speakers.  The  famous  Old  South  Ball, 
upholding  Kappa  Alpha's  southern  tradi- 
tion, was  also  held. 

Kappa  Alpha  Order,  with  its  diverse 
brotherhood,  continues  to  excel  . . . 
South's  gonna'  do  it  again!

won  their  division  in  the  Fraternity  Intra- 
mural competition.  The  75th  Anniversary 
of  the  chapter  was  in  February,  and  the 
chapter  has  a  firm  future.  While  several 
good  men  are  graduating,  the  fraternity 
is  strong. 

The  Sigma  Nu's  were  also  involved  in 
several  other  campus  activities  in-

Student  Foundation,  and  various  service 
organizations.

Phi  Delta  Theta,  founded  in  1848  at 
Miami  University,  was  established  on  the 
WVU  campus  in  1926.  The  1978-79 
school  year  was  a  successful  one  for  the 
Phi  Delts.  Phi  Delta  Theta  helped  raise 
money  for  the  blind  and  for  the  March 
of  Dimes  as  service  activities.  The  Phi 
Delts  won  their  division  in  flag  football, 
tennis,  raquetball  and  wrestling.  Frater- 
nity members  also  won  the  athlete  of  the 
year  and  intramural  manager  of  the  year 
awards  this  year. 

Phi  Delts  were  involved  in  a  variety  of 
campus  activities  including:  athletic 
council,  class  honoraries,  Pop  Arts  com- 
mittee, Classical  Arts  committee  and 
Rec-lntramurals  committee. 

Friendship,  sound  learning,  and  recti- 
tude are  all  important  in  forming  the 
strong  brotherhood  which  the  Phi  Delts 
are  proud  of.  Small,  strong,  and  active, 
Phi  Delta  Theta  is  a  fraternity  for  life.

Pi  Kappa  Phi  is  proud  to  be  a  part  of 
WVU's  fraternity  system.  As  WVU's 
newest  fraternity,  it  hopes  to  be  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  Greek  world  by 
stressing  brotherhood  to  all  Greeks.  The 
brothers  hope  to  be  an  asset  to  the 
WVU  campus  and  the  Morgantown 
community. 

Pi  Kappa  Phi  originally  had  a  chapter 
at  WVU  from  1930-1938.  It  folded  be- 
cause of  the  depression  and  the  pre-war 
confusion.  Due  to  several  dedicated 
people,  Pi  Kappa  Phi  was  re-chartered 
on  November  11,  1978. 

The  brothers  are  currently  looking  for 
a  house  and  boast  a  membership  of  25 
men.  The  Pi  Kapp's  have  been  involved 
in  their  national  project:  Playground 
Units  for  the  Severely  Handicapped 
(PUSH). 

The  Pi  Kapp's  would  like  to  express 
one  note  to  all  those  of  WVU:  "Watch 
out  . . .  the  Pi  Kapp's  are  back!"

For  the  first  time  in  ten  years,  WVU 
served  as  host  for  the  regional  student 
conference  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Industrial  Engineers. 

The  conference  theme  was  T.O.G.A. 
(Topics  on  Gaining  Acceptance  into  the 
job  you  want  as  a  graduating  IE).  The 
agenda  included  many  social  items, 
speeches  by  Dr.  Gene  Woolsey  and  In- 
ternational AIIE  President  Dr.  Sid  Gil- 
breath,  and  representatives  from  12  pri- 
vate companies. 

A  total  of  19  schools,  representing 
eight  states,  attended  the  conference. 
Everyone  in  attendance  received  infor- 
mation about  the  coal,  glass,  and  other 
businesses,  along  with  some  pamphlets 
showing  the  beauty  and  richness  found 
in  West  Virginia.

By  8  a.m.  on  Friday,  April  20,  team 
members  were  assembled  at  Percival 
Hall  to  board  the  bus  for  Tri-State. 
Loaded  down  with  axes  and  saws,  the 
members  arrived  in  Syracuse  late  Friday 
night.  The  competition,  against  Penn 
State  and  Syracuse,  was  held  Saturday, 
April  21.  The  final  score  found  WVU  on 
the  bottom.  Fun  and  sore  muscles  were 
the  outcome  for  most  of  the  foresters.

Was  1978-79  as  good  as  the  previous  years?  The  point  is  not 
dreams  of  the  present  than  to  be  compared  with  successes 
and  accomplishments  of  the  past.  Each  year  and  each  achieve- 
ment ought  to  be  judged  separately  and  never  in  comparison 
to  any  other. 

The  year  proved  to  uphold  many  traditions.  Once  again  Pitt 
and  Penn  State  conquered  the  Mountaineers  on  the  gridiron.

West  Virginia  is  still  known  as  the  hillbilly  state.  But,  as  one 
southern  West  Virginian  said,  "The  only  people  who  do  not 
like  being  called  hillbillies  are  those  who  aren't". 

The  year  of  1978-79  was  one  in  which  traditions  were  con- 
tinued. The  Alpha  Xi's  once  again  produced  the  Homecoming 
Queen.  Gale  Catlett  brought  the  feeling  of  pride  to  the  fans  of 
the  basketball  team,  as  he  began  building  a  successful  ball 
club.

Controversy  over  athletic  situations  hit  the  University.  Dr. 
Leland  Byrd  resigned  due  to  the  conflicts  that  resulted. 

The  Marching  Band  continued  to  be  the  highlight  of  the 
University  and  the  state.  The  Pride  of  West  Virginia  helped  to 
bring  national  recognition  to  the  Mountaineers  as  they  thrilled 
the  crowd  at  the  Oklahoma  game. 

President  Carter  brought  the  country  to  Elkins  when  he  ap- 
peared at  the  Forest  Festival  in  October. 


Pre-game  warm-up-a  hard  act  to  follow. 


The    Doobie    Brothers    performed    well    and    the 
crowd  wanted  them  to  play  all  night.

Those  living  in  the  present  should  never  align  all  their  ac- 
tions with  those  of  the  past.  The  opportunities  of  the  present 
can  never  be  like  those  of  the  past.  The  scene  is  never  the 
same. 

The  year  slipped  by  in  a  rather  unnoticed  fashion.  However, 
it  will  be  remembered  because  it  marks  the  ending  of  an  era, 
the  ending  of  a  decade. 


Controversy  hit  the  rifle  team.  It  was  in  the  plans  to 
eliminate  the  team  of  national  champs. 

The  rowing  team  could  be  seen  practicing  on  the

As  we  move  into  the  1980's,  some  of  the  traditions  will  be 
dropped  or  forgotten,  others  will  be  started.  Most  important 
of  all,  the  Mountaineer  tradition  will  continue.  Without  that 
tradition,  there  can  be  no  West  Virginia  University.  WVU  has 
so  many  traditions  that  if  we  would  try  to  break  them  and  be- 
gin new  ones,  we  would  become  lost  in  the  transition  into  the 
80's.

WVU  students  may  come  from  all  over  the  world,  may 
study  different  subjects,  and  may  live  in  different  places  while 
in  Morgantown.  But,  by  being  a  part  of  the  University,  the 
Mountaineer  tradition  becomes  a  part  of  the  individual.  Upon 
leaving  West  Virginia  University  and  Morgantown,  each  stu- 
dent realizes  that  he  was  and  will  continue  to  be  Livin'  Moun- 
taineer Style. 


The  Marching  Band  will  continue  the  Mountaineer 
pride  into  the  future.
