he  year  1985-86  found  lUP  expanding,  reno- 
-  vating,  changing,  improving.  New  buildings, 
new  programs  and  a  twentieth  anniversary  were  all 
part  of  the  fall  and  spring  semesters.  For  all  of  these 
reasons,  the  1986  Oak  staff  selected  "Reaching  for  a 
New  Image"  as  the  theme  for  this  yearbook.  We  hope 
that  we  captured  the  memories  of  this  ever-chang- 
ing university  for  the  present  and  for  the  future.

JL  i  any  alumni  o£  lUP  returned  to  the 

campus  this  year,  they  may  have  been 
surprised  by  changes  that  have  occurred. 

The  Student  Union,  now  called  the  HUB  (S. 
Trevor  Hadley  Union  Building)  had  finally  been 
completed.  The  modern  facility  has  several 
study  areas,  a  multi-purpose  room,  an  lUP  mem- 
orabilia shop  and  an  attached  recreation  center. 
The  Co-op  Bookstore,  the  bank,  the  information 
desk  and  Roy  Rogers  also  remained  in  the  build- 
ing along  with  student  offices. 

Also  completed  this  year  w^as  Sally  B.  Johnson 
Hall,  which  opened  for  classes  in  the  1 986 
Spring  semester.  The  building  houses  the  safety 
management  and  nursing  departments  and  a 
portion  of  lUP's  computer  facilities.

ere  at  lUP,  both  sports  and  academics 
were  reaching  for  a  new  image. 

The  1986  Big  Indian  football  team  thrilled 
fans  with  an  8-2-1  record.  They  captured  the 
PSAC  Western  title  for  the  first  time  since  1  965. 

The  women's  cross  country  team  also  brought 
honors  to  lUPas  they  captured  third  place  at  the 
NCAA  Division  II  National  meet;  making  every 
team  member  an  All  American. 

Other  lUP  teams  improved  as  coaches  and  ath- 
letes worked  hard  to  improve  their  records. 

lUP  grew  academically  as  well.  In  the  fall,  lUP 
celebrated  20  years  as  a  university. 

lUP  was  chosen  as  one  of  the  221  colleges  and 
universities  to  appear  in  "The  Best  Buys  in  Col- 
lege Education",  a  New  York  Times  publication 
by  Edward  B.  Fiske. 

lUP  has  approximately  12,000  undergraduate 
students  and  ranks  fifth  in  the  state  in  under- 
graduate enrollment. 

Whether  academics  or  sports,  lUP  is  always 
striving  for  improvement.

he  year  1986  began  with  a  new  style  o£ 
trends  different  from  the  past  ten 
years.  Prep,  "Madonna  look, "  Punk  and  Ramho 
look  have  slowly  died  out  within  time,  but  one 
can  see  a  few  original  survivors  on  the  lUP  cam- 
pus. The  attitudes  created  by  the  new  fads  in- 
clude independence  and  "do  what  you  want" 
outlook  upon  life. 

The  "spruced-up"  look  is  in  style  for  both  gen- 
ders. More  men  are  wearing  solid-color  pleated 
pants,  striped  shirts  with  a  collar  clip  and  thin 
ties.  The  hair  style  for  men  is  conservatively 
short,  particularly  along  the  sides.  The  "Miami 
Vice"  show  had  an  outstanding  impact  on  the 
dress  code  for  nnen.  Don  Johnson  created  the 
"Ratso  Chic"  look  which  is  the  two-day-old 
beard,  T-shirt  or  Rounded  Neck  shirt,  jacket  and 
dress  pants. 

For  the  ladies,  the  shin-length  knit  skirts, 
soft-flowered  blazer,  and  satiny  blouses  create  a 
"fresh  "  look.  Another  stylish  outfit  is  the  shaker 
sweater  with  flowered  black  pants  or  stir-up 
pants.  The  style  of  blouses  include  graphic 
I  prints,  stripes,  dots  and  paisley  prints.  The  pas- 

tel  shades,  such  as 
soft  pinks,  yellows 
and  blues  are  a  new 
clean  image  rather 
than  the  fluorescent 
colors  of  last  year.  A 
popular  item  of  jewel- 
ry is  the  broach, 
which  is  worn  with  al- 
most any  combina- 
tion of  blouses  or 
sweaters. 

Other  trends  thai 
have  "stepped"  into 
lUP  include  Reebok, 
the  athletic  sneaker,

and  Saturday  nights  there  is  an  "unexplainable 
force"  which  draws  many  lUP  students  to  the 
pubs  of  downtown  Indiana.  At  these  popular 
spots  is  a  favorite  beverage  . . .  the  "White  Moun- 
tain Cooler."

B  he   Indiana    State   Normal  School 

opened  its  doors  in  1875  and  enrolled 
225  students.  John  Sutton  Hall,  now  registered 
as  a  national  landmark,  was  the  only  building 
^jpn  campus  and  served  all  functions.  The  experi- 
mental spring  semester  was  considered  a  suc- 
cess, and  the  school  began  to  grow  and  develop. 
In  1927  Indiana  State  Teachers  College 
emerged.  With  it  came  a  new  grading  system, 
which  used  quality  points  and  students  needed 
to  maintain  a  "C"  average  to  stay  in  school. 

As  the  university  grew,  buildings  were  added 
to  the  campus  and  more  niajors  were  added  to 
the  college.  Also,  in  1959  the  school  began  a 
graduate  studies  program  with  an  enrollment  of 
74  students. 

The  school's  name  changed  again  in  1960  to 
Indiana  State  College  which  showed  the  expan- 
sion and  movement  to  a  multi-purpose  college. 
Also  during  this  time  Dr.  Willis  Pratt,  presi- 
dent, initiated  a  campus  expansion  plan  which 
would  add  30  new  buildings  to  campus  within 
the  nfixt  ten  years.  In  1962,  the  Punxsutawney 
branch  campus  was  founded  and  the  Kittanning 
campus  follwed  in  1963.  Then,  in  1964,  work 
began  by  Indiana  administration  and  Sen.  Al- 
bert R.  Pechan  to  promote  Indiana  State  College 
to  a  university. 

On  January  25,  1  965  Sen.  Pechan  introduced 
Senate  Bill  1;  "An  act  providing  for  the  estab- 
lishment and  operation  of  the  Western  Pennsyl- 
vania State  University,  Indiana,  Pennsylvania." 
The  bill  was  then  referred  to  the  Committee  on 
Education,  which  visited  the  campus  in  the  win- 
ter of  1  965  along  with  the  Commission  on  High- 
er Education.  The  groups  decided  that  the  school 
should  receive  university  status. 

On  Nov.  16,  1 965,  House  bill  1  023  passed  the 
House  of  Representatives,  and  the  Senate  Bill  1 
passed  two  weeks  later.  On  December  16,  1965, 
the  bill  was  signed  into  law  and  "Indiana  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania"  began. 

Today,  lUP  has  more  than  12.800  students 
who  come  from  every  county  in  the  Common- 
wealth of  Pennsylvania,  several  other  states  and 
txnore  than  40  foreign  countries. 
The  university  has  seven  colleges  and  two 
schools.  Within  the  40  departments  of  the  Uni- 
versity, students  can  study  more  than  100 
^majors. 

P  From  the  beginning  of  the  Normal  School  to 
the  road  of  becoming  a  University,  Indiana  has 
flourished  and  met  the  challenges  it  faced  and 
with  confidence  advances  toward  the  future.

campus  during  the  lUP  birthday  week. 


^^  UP  celebrated  its  20th  anniversary  of 

receiving  university  status  with  activi- 
ties running  November  3-8. 

During  the  week  of  celebration,  students,  fac- 
ulty and  alumni  participated  in  various  events 
to  honor  the  hard  work  and  dedication  that  re- 
sulted in  Indiana  State  College  becoming  Indi- 
ana University  of  Pennsylvania. 

The  week's  events  began  on  Sunday  with  a 
20th  anniversary  dinner  recognizing  trustees 
and  faculty  that  were  involved  with  lUP  20  years 
ago.  Among  the  guests  were  the  families  of  Dr. 
Willis  E.  Pratt,  Sen.  Albert  R.  Pechan  and  Rep. 
William  Buchanan. 

Tuesday's  activities  featured  a  student  cele- 
bration from  1 1:00  a.m.  to  4:00  p.m.  Through- 
out the  day,  refreshment  booths  were  located  in 
various  areas  throughout  campus. 

At  6  p.m.,  a  banquet  was  held  for  student  orga- 
nization leaders,  and  at  8  p.m.,  a  student  air- 
band  contest  in  Fisher  Auditorium  ended  the 
day's  events. 

"The  purpose  of  the  day  was  not  to  disrupt 
what  we  are  here  for  but  to  make  students 
aware, "  said  Barbara  Ender,  chairperson  of  the 
related  events  sub-committee. 

On  Friday  the  week's  activities  came  to  a  close 
as  Dr.  John  D.  Welty  officially  became  the 
new  president  of  lUP.  At  2  p.m.,  the  investiture 
convocation  began.  Honored  guests  and  speakers 
included  past  university  presidents,  the  presi- 
dent of  the  council  of  trustees,  chairman  of  the 
University  Senate  and  the  president  of  the  Stu- 
dent Government  Association.

ow  and  then.  lUP  has  changed  a  great 
deal  since  it  first  received  university  status  in 
1  965.  The  students  have  changed  too.  Today  it's 
hard  to  distinguish  between  most  freshmen  and 
upperclassmen.  The  days  of  the  freshman 
"beanie  "  and  name  cards  are  long  gone.  So  are 
the  days  of  a  lOc  slice  of  pizza  and  "cat  eye" 
glasses.  Today's  students  pay  a  dollar  for  a  slice 
of  pizza  and  sport  "wayfarers."  Few  students 
would  want  to  go  back  to  1  965  but  it's  interest- 
ing to  see  how  things  changed.

hat  would  university  life  be  like  without 
activities?  It  would  be  hard  to  imagine  life 
at  lUP  without  movies,  concerts,  plays,  speakers  or 
parties. 

Activities  brighten  up  the  worst  of  times.  It's 
amazing  what  a  funny  movie  or  good  show  can  do  to 
make  life  seem  a  little  easier. 

lUP's  activities  run  the  gambit  —  from  Homecom- 
ing to  the  Block  Party,  and  everything  in  between. 
No  matter  what  a  students  interests  might  be, 
there's  sure  to  be  something  for  him  or  her  at  lUP.

HOMECOMING 
FESTIVITIES  BRING  FAIRY 

TALES  TO  LIFE 


Old  friendships  are  renewed,  memories 
relived  and  new  addresses  and  telephone 
numbers  exchanged.  These  are  just  a  few 
of  the  features  of  a  Homecoming  celebra- 
tion at  lUP. 

A  Homecoming  Carnival  on  the  lawn 
next  to  Stapleton  Library  kicked  off  the 
Homecoming  festivities.  Student  organiza- 
tions set  up  boothes  and  foodstands  to 
raise  money  and  to  promote  themselves. 

Despite  steady  drizzle  and  showers,  the 
annual  Homecoming  Parade  continued  as 
scheduled.  This  year's  Greek  float  theme

ors with  their  Cinderella  entry. 

Shriners,  local  high  school  bands  and 
other  Indiana  County  organizations 
helped  to  make  the  parade  shine  festive 
through  the  dismal  day. 

The  Homecoming  King  and  Queen 
ceremony  also  brightened  the  day.  Kathy 
Opalisky  from  Shiremanstown  and  Dana 
Caruso  from  Yardley  reigned  as  this 
year's  gueen  and  king.  Kathy  reflected,  "I 
was  thrilled  with  the  honor,  but  I  think  my 
dad  was  even  more  excited  than  I  was." 

Dana  said,  "I  was  excited,  thrilled  be- 
cause it  was  an  honor.  There's  only  one 
king  a  year  and  I  was  him." 

Kittanning's  king  and  queen  were 
Brenda  Kaschalk  from  Mineral  Point  and 
Michael  F.  Monach  from  Levittown.  Joe 
Bernarding  from  Pittsburgh  and  Sally  Fer- 
ree  from  Wernersville  were  Punxataw- 
ney's  king  and  queen. 

The  highlight  of  the  weekend  was 
lUP's  football  victory  against  Clarion. 
The  game  secured  lUP's  Pennsylvania 
State  Athletic  Conference  Western  Divi- 
sion title  and  bolstered  the  Indian's  hopes 
for  state  conference  play. 

But  the  true  meaning  of  Homecoming  is 
the  reunion  of  old  classmates,  and  the  pas- 
sage of  time  that  brings  about  new  experi- 
ences and  changes.  It  is  the  gathering 
together  of  generation  after  generation  of 
lUP's  alumni  to  share  their  love  and  re- 
spect for  their  school.

lUP  MARCHING  BAND  .  .  . 


The  1985  lUP  Marching  Band,  under 
the  direction  of  Charles  E.  Casavant,  is  "a 
source  of  entertainment  and  pride  for  the 
university."  Dr.  Casavant  joined  the  lUP 
staff  in  1976  and  changed  the  face  of  the 
lUP  Marching  Band  to  one  with  a  very 
diversified  array  of  musical  selections  and 
a  variety  of  shov/s.  They  never  perform 
the  same  show  for  the  same  audience. 

Their  shows  are  made  up  of  a  different 
combination  of  over  12  musical  selections. 
These  include  "Somewhere  Over  the 
Rainbow"  which  has  a  trumpet  solo  by 
Tom  Deckavac  and  "We  Are  the  World" 
with  three  solos:  Jenny  Good  and  Jenny 
Pepple,  both  on  French  horn;  and 
George  Wozniak  on  trumpet. 

Other  songs  include  "Amazing 
Grace,"  Chicago's  "You're  the  Inspira- 
tion," Tchiakovsky's  "Sleeping  Beauty," 
"God  Save  the  Queen,"  and  "Kafka"  by 
the  Manhatten  Transfer. 

Each  half-time  show  consists,  on  the  av- 
erage, of  three  songs  with  the  finale  from 
"Saint-Saens  Organ  Symphony"  as  the 
opener. 

Before  football  games  they  perform  a 
30-minute  show  that  is  called  their  "Big 
Show."  During  this  they  play  about  nine 
songs.  This  show  included  "Toccata"  by 
Emerson,  Lake  and  Palmer  with  a  drum 
solo  written  by  two  band  members.  Bob 
McConnel  and  Tom  Ray.  Other  percus- 


sion composers  are  Terry  Bieler  and  Paul 
Rennick. 

The  band  also  performed  at  festivals 
during  many  weekends  of  the  football  sea- 
son. These  festivals  have  taken  the  band  to 
Maryland  and  New  Jersey.  They  have  also 
done  festivals  in  Pennsylvania  such  as 
those  in  Bradford,  Baldwin  and  Mt. 
Lebanon. 

Putting  together  all  these  shows  and 
getting  the  200-member  band  together 
for  performances  takes  a  lot  of  work. 
There  are  a  number  of  people  who  help 
Dr.  Casavant  get  the  band  ready  for  their 
many  performances.  These  include  Dan 
Ebeling,  executive  drum  major,  and  two 
assistant  drum  majors,  Brad  Genevro  and 
Jeff  Steiner.  Two  graduate  assistants  also 
help  get  the  band  together,  Gary  Ziek  and 
Bob  Carmella.  Ziek  also  arranges  songs 
for  the  shows  along  with  Chris  McDonald 
and  Roy  Mitchell. 

There  is  also  a  commanding  officer,  Tim 
Stienhauer,  who  is  essentially  the  manag- 
er and  makes  sure  everyone  does  their 
job.  Assistant  officers  are  Louise  Marino 
and  Jeff  Steiner. 

Other  instructors  and  section  leaders 
for  each  division  of  the  band  also  contrib- 
ute to  the  organization  of  getting  the  band 
ready  for  their  numerous  performances.

THE  FOX" 


The  powerful  play  "The  Fox"  was  per- 
formed this  fall  by  the  Theater-By-The- 
Grove. 

"The  Fox",  a  drama  by  Allan  Miller 
based  on  the  novel  by  D.H.  Lawrence,  is 
set  in  England  in  1918.  Two  young  wom- 
en in  the  play,  Jill  Banford,  played  by 
Jenni  Sanders,  and  Nellie  March,  played 
by  Deb  Wisniewski,  have  developed  a 
close  relationship  while  living  on  a  farm. 

Jill  is  a  frail,  feminine  character  who 
centers  her  life  around  housework  and 
shopping,  while  Nellie  does  all  the  work 
on  the  farm  mcluding  the  repair  work  and 
hunting. 

Life  has  been  difficult  for  the  women. 


Top  lell:  Henry  enjoys  tea  with  Nellie  and  Jill. 
Top  right:  Nellie  keeps  Henry  at  bay.  Middle 
Henry  and  Nellie  argue  at  the  woodpile.  Bol 
torn:  Henry  Greinfel,  played  by  Matt  Giehl 
waits  for  the  lox. 


They  have  sold  their  heifer,  their  chickens 
aren't  laying  eggs  and  a  fox  has  been 
steahng  the  chickens. 

Then,  Henry  Greinfel,  played  by  Matt 
Giehl,  enters  their  lives.  He  is  a  strong 
young  man  who  is  on  leave  from  the  Ca- 
nadian Army  for  a  week. 

The  girls  decide  to  take  him  m,  and  he 
immediately  begins  to  make  changes  in 
their  lives.  He  catches  pheasants  for  the 
girls  to  eat,  fixes  their  barn  and  catches 
the  fox. 

However,  the  plot  develops  as  Henry 
begins  to  manipulate  Nellie  and  eventual- 
ly convinces  her  to  marry  him. 

The  final  scene  is  emotion  packed.  As 
Henry,  who  is  obsessed  with  the  farm  and 
hunting,  picks  a  rifle  and  begins  to  point  it 
at  the  girls  and  eventually  shoots  Jill.  Nel- 
lie IS  overcome  with  shock,  and  Henry 
comforts  her  by  telling  her  the  plans  of 
their  life  together. 

The  play  was  directed  by  Malcom 
Bowes  of  the  lUP  theater  department, 
and  the  set  was  designed  by  Nadine  Gra- 
bania,  an  lUP  graduate  student.  The  au- 
thentic-looking set  was  constructed  from 
scratch  by  lUP  students. 

"After  the  show,  members  of  the  audi- 
ence would  touch  the  walls  to  see  if  they 
were  real,"  Cheri  Meiser,  stage  manager, 
said. 

This  year  "The  Fox"  was  the  theater 
department's  entry  for  the  American  Col- 
lege Theater  Festival.

"THE  ROBBER 
BRIDEGROOM" 


fMI^HUN 


Some  down-home,  rip-rodring  country 
fun  was  presented  in  TheaterBy-The- 
Grove's  musical  production  of  "The  Rob- 
ber Bridegroom." 

The  country  flavor  was  obvious  from  the 
moment  one  entered  the  theater  which 
was  transformed  into  a  barnyard,  com- 
plete with  hay  and  other  country  fixin's. 
Even  the  band  wore  blue  jeans  and  flan- 
nel shirts  and  played  on  a  make-shift 
hayloft. 

The  show,  which  took  place  in  and 
around  Rodney,  Mississippi  in  the  early 
18CXD's,  centered  around  the  activities  of 
the  two  main  characters,  Jamie  Lockhart 
and  Rosamund  Musgrove.  After  Jamie 
saves  Clemment  Musgrove's  life,  Clem- 
ment  takes  Jamie  home  to  meet  his  daugh- 
ter, Rosamund.  Although  Jamie  might 
seem  like  a  nice  young  man  with  good 
intentions,  he  only  wants  to  marry  Rosa- 
mund to  become  part  of  the  wealthy  Mus- 
grove family. 

The  plot  thickens  as  Salome,  Rosa- 
mund's wicked  and  jealous  stepmother, 
sends  Rosamund  into  the  dangerous 
woods.  Here  Rosamund  meets  up  with  a 
robber  who  steals  her  new  clothes.  After 
another  meeting  in  the  woods,  Rosamund 
spends  the  night  with  the  mysterious  rob- 
ber and  they  fall  in  love. 

Unfortunately,  Rosamund  doesn't  know 
that  the  robber  is  Jamie  m  disguise  and 
Jamie,  alias  the  robber  doesn't  realize  that 
the  girl  is  Rosamund,  and  .  .  .  Well,  things 
do  get  a  bit  confusing,  but  of  course  ev- 
eryone lives  happily  ever  after. 


The  audience,  who  were  encouraged  to 
wear  blue  jeans  and  other  country 
clothes,  were  a  part  of  the  scenery  and 
almost  became  a  part  of  the  show  as  cast 
members  spoke  and  sang  to  them.  The 
cast  did  a  superb  job  of  communicating 
their  country  flair  and  boundless  energy 
to  the  audience. 

From  the  evil  Salome  to  her  somewhat 
meek  but  comical  husband  Clemment, 
from  the  dashing  Lockhart  to  the  seeming- 
ly innocent  Rosamund,  all  the  parts  were 
played  beautifully.  There  were  also  added 
features  such  as  a  man  who  dragged  his 
brother's  talking  head  around  in  a  trunk,  a 
wise  but  ignored  talking  raven,  and  a  sim- 
ple-minded boy  named  Goat  whose 
method  of  speaking  explains  his  name. 

"The  Robber  Bridegroom"  gave  the  au- 
dience an  opportunity  to  become  lost  in 
some  country  fun,  and  all  who  experi- 
enced the  show  left  with  a  little  country 
flavor  in  their  hearts  and  a  country  tune  in 
their  heads.

"The  Dining  Room" 


The  Theater- By- The  Grove's  production 
of  "The  Dining  Room"  takes  an  entertain- 
ing look  at  18  dming  rooms  of  upper  mid- 
dle class  families  across  the  United  States. 

The  play,  written  by  A.R.  Gurney  Jr., 
was  set  in  an  elegantly  furnished  dining 
room  and  took  place  during  the  last  50 
years  from  sunrise  to  sunset.  Each  scene 
gave  an  amusing  and  sometimes  touching 
view  into  the  lives  of  different  families  dur- 
ing various  time  periods. 

The  six  actors  played  an  average  of 
eight  different  parts  throughout  the  play. 
These  students  were  Barb  Blackley, 
Chuck  Conway,  Angelica  Bellomo,  Ty- 
rone Dixon,  Karen  Seergae  and  Bob 
Carbonetti. 

The  show  began  with  a  tape  of  about  60 
excerpts  from  TV  and  radio  broadcasts 
from  the  time  period  of  the  play.  Some  of 
these  were  "The  Cosby  Show,"  "I  Love 
Lucy,"  Martin  Luther  King  and 
"Dragnet." 

Bob  Carbonetti,  one  of  the  actors  said 
the  play  was  a  good  experience  for  him 
and,  "It  was  a  lot  of  work,  but  it  was  fun 
work."

YENTL 


95 


Outstanding  performances  by  every 
cast  member  made  Theater-By-The- 
Grove's  "Yentl"  a  very  special 
production. 

Each  character  was  convincingly  por- 
trayed and  brought  the  setting  of  late  19th 
century  Polish  villages  to  life. 

"Yentl",  not  to  be  confused  with  the 
musical  made  popular  by  Barbra  Strei- 
sand, is  the  story  of  a  Jewish  girl  who 
abandons  her  female  identity  to  study  reli- 
gion and  get  an  education,  an  opportunity 
denied  to  women  in  19th  century  Poland. 

After  the  death  of  her  father,  Yentl,  skill- 
fully portrayed  by  Debra  Wisniewski, 
takes  on  the  male  identity  of  Anshul  and 
goes  off  with  the  other  scholars  to  study. 
She  befriends  the  scholar  Avigdor  and 
eventually  falls  in  love  with  him.  Things 
then  become  complicated  as  Hadass,  the 
woman  who  Avigdor  was  suppoed  to  mar- 
ry, falls  in  love  with  Anshul/Yentl. 

Matthew  Giehl  brought  warmth  and 
feeling  to  the  character  of  Avigdor  and 
the  youthful  confusion  of  Hadass  was 
brought  to  life  by  Donna  Lubrano.  Wis- 
niewski sailed  smoothly  through  the  com- 
plex character  of  Yentl/ Anshul,  from  a 
head-strong,  independent  young  woman 
to  a  renzied  boy  lost  in  his  own  charade. 


The  play,  directed  by  Dr.  Donald  Eisen, 
was  enhanced  with  the  scenic  and  light- 
ing desigh  of  Mark  Zetterberg.  Other  cast 
menbers  included  David  R.  Tabish  as 
Yentl's  father,  ]eni  Sanders  as  Rivka  the 
matchmaker  and  Bill  Martinak,  Eric  Wolf, 
Kevin  Renshaw,  D.  Andrew  Manuel, 
Keith  Edwards,  Richard  Nowell,  Noele 
Battick,  David  Kinkead  and  Andrew  Bak- 
er as  various  townspeople  and  scholars.

"HANSEL  AND  GRETEL"

lUP  Music  Theater  presented  "Hansel 
and  Gretel",  an  opera  version  of  the  chil- 
dren's story,  Nov.  14-16  in  Fisher 
Auditorium. 

This  was  first  production  specifically  for 
children  that  the  department  has  per- 
formed. The  performances  had  to  be 
adapted  to  the  younger  audiences  by  in- 
serting dialogue  while  keeping  the  music 
score  intact,  said  Dr.  Herbert  Wildeboor. 

"We  hope  this  will  be  the  beginning  of 
annual  productions  to  children  of  West- 
ern Pennsylvania,"  he  said. 

A  small  cast  and  no  chorus  allowed  for 
easy  travel  to  the  different  school  districts. 
There  were  two  five-member  casts  which 


Top  Leil:  Wendy  Rodgers  as  the  Wicked 
Witch  and  her  famed  Gingerbread  House.

included:  Kathy  Ciampa  as  Hansel,  Alyce 
Grimm  and  Karen  Hartman  as  Gretel, 
Beth  Hinkle  and  Julie  Kemper  as  the 
mother,  Chris  Sciullo  and  Michael 
Horowitz  as  the  father  and  Craig  Cramer 
and  Wendy  Rogers  as  the  witch. 

"I  had  so  much  fun  doing  this  musical 
for  the  kids.  They  loved  it  and  they  really 
got  into  it.  They  laughed  and  screamed 
the  whole  way  through  the  play,"  cast 
member,  Julie  Kemper  said. 

Even  though  the  opera  applied  mostly 
to  children  it  was  enjoyed  very  much  by 
all  ages.  It  gave  the  adults  in  the  audience 
a  chance  to  go  back  and  enjoy  part  of 
their  childhoods  all  over  again. 

According  to  Wildeboor,  the  scenery 
and  costumes  were  professionally  done 
for  the  lUP  Music  Theater  in  the  studios  cf 
Roy  King  and  Associates,  West  Islip,  N.Y. 

The  production  staff  for  the  productions 
included:  Roy  King,  stage  director;  Hugh 
Johnson,  music  director;  Herbert  Wilde- 
boor, producer;  Bill  Stabnau,  stage  man- 
ager and  Kristie  Dearing,  accompanist. 

The  proceeds  from  the  show  went  to  the 
music  scholarship  fund.  Partial  funding 
for  the  show  came  from  the  concessions 
committee  of  the  Student  Cooperative 
Association.

lUP's  Music  Theater  Department  pre- 
sented Rodgers  and  Hammerstein's 
"South  Pacific"  on  Jan.  30,  31  and  Feb.  1 
in  Fisher  Auditorium. 

The  cast  of  45  was  headed  by  Alice 
Grimm  as  Nellie  Forbush,  Robert  McCon- 
nell  as  Emile  de  Becque,  Jim  Furlong  as 
Lieutenant  Cable  and  Barbara  Stahl  as 
Bloody  Mary. 

The  realistic,  lavish  scenery  which  took 
the  audience  effectively  to  a  South  Pacific 
island  was  provided  by  Roy  King  and 
Associates. 

They  are  a  New  York  based  company  of 
consultants  who  tour  the  country  provid- 
ing in  addition  to  scenery,  costumes  and 
professional  technical  assistance  for  oper- 
atic and  dramatic  productions. 

Dr.  Hugh  Johnson  of  the  lUP  Music  De- 
partment conducted  the  orchestra,  which 
included  30  students. 

Dr.  Herbert  Wildeboor  also  of  the  lUP 
Music  Department  was  the  producer  for 
the  production.  This  was  his  last  produc- 
tion before  retiring,  after  20  years  with 
lUP's  music  depjartment. 

"This  production  was  very  special  to  me 
because  of  the  number  of  people  that 
worked  on  it.  It  was  the  most  elaborate 
and  best  produced  production  we've 
done,"  Wildeboor  said.  "More  profession- 
als were  involved  in  this  than  any  other 
production.  We  have  wanted  this  type  of 
production  for  20  years.  Now  that  we've 
done  it,  great  things  are  ahead  for  the 
Music  Theater  Department." 

All  of  the  people  involved  with  the  pro- 
duction put  a  lot  of  time  and  effort  into  it. 


which  was  evident  after  seeing  "South 
Pacific." 

It  took  place  during  World  War  II  while 
American  sailors  and  Marines  took  over 
an  island  in  the  South  Pacific. 

Emile  de  Becque,  a  wealthy,  middle- 
aged  planter,  moved  to  the  island  from 
France  before  the  outbreak  of  the  war.  He 
falls  in  love  with  Ensign  Nellie  Forbush, 
an  American  nurse,  and  asks  her  to  marry 
him. 

Nellie  calls  off  the  marriage  when  she 
learns  of  his  previous  marriage  and  his 
two  children. 

Emile  then  decides  to  help  Lt.  Cable 
spy  on  a  Japanese-held  island  nearby.  Ca- 
ble is  killed  but  Emile  survives  and  returns 
to  find  Nellie  caring  for  his  two  children. 

Cast  members  performed  the  songs  in 
the  musical  expertly,  such  songs  as:  "I'm 
Gonna  Wash  That  Man  Right  Out-A-My 
Hair,"  sung  by  Nellie  and  the  nurses; 
"Bali-Hai,"  by  Bloody  Mary;  "Some  En- 
chanted Evening,"  by  Emile. 

"It  was  a  great  feeling  to  end  with  such 
high  achievement,"  said  Wildeboor  about 
his  last  lUP  production.

"I'd  like  to  thank  my  two  terrific  directors. 
Sue  and  Pete  (Alexander)." 

Pete  Alexander,  director  of  the  lUP  Co- 
op Store,  told  the  crowd  of  about  750  that 
he  would  resign  as  pageant  executive  di-

The  talent  competition  accounted  for 
half  of  the  judges'  scores.  The  seven  min-

MR.  lUP  -  JEFFREY  BROOKS 


Fifteen  contestants  tried  for  Mr.  lUP  VI, 
only  one  received  it,  but  the  road  leading 
to  the  finish  was  an  exciting  one. 

The  excitement  began  with  the  15  con- 
testants dancing  their  best  to  "I'm  So  Ex- 
cited" by  the  Pointer  Sisters. 

In  the  next  competition,  the  15  contes- 
tants presented  themselves  in  swimwear 
which  had  the  capacity  crowd  of  primarily 
females  cheering  and  screaming. 

The  main  event  was  the  entertainment, 
and  the  crowd  was  definitely  given  a  qual- 
ity show.  The  acts  spanned  from  singing  to 
dancing  and  even  a  comedy  routine. 

The  first  contestant,  Jeffrey  Brooks, 
sponsored  by  Ladies  and  Gentlemen 
Qualified,  received  a  standing  ovation  af- 
ter his  rendition  of  "Somewhere  Over  the 
Rainbow." 

A  dance  routine  by  Chris  Lang,  spon- 
sored by  Alpha  Sigma  Tau,  to  "Jungle 
Love"  had  the  female  crowd  screaming  as 
he  rolled  across  the  stage.  Other  dancers 
included  Darrin  Wheeler,  sponsored  by 
lUP  Sports  Medicine  and  Health  Physical 
Education  Department  and  Dan  Woodr- 
ing,  sponsored  by  the  lUP  Cheerleaders. 

Additional  singers  were:  Jim  Gardell, 
Kappa  Delta;  John  Womer,  Delta  Gamma; 
and  Walter  McCready,  Phi  Delta  Theta.  A 
comedy  routine  was  also  performed  by 
Roger  Peebles,  sponsored  by  Whitmyre 
Hall. 


The  next  competition  was  the  evening 
wear.  Each  of  the  men  picked  their  own 
outfit  which  were  by  American  Tuxedos. 

After  a  performance  by  comedian 
Chuck  Conway  and  a  few  selections  from 
Concert  Dance,  the  five  semi-finalists 
were  named.  They  included:  Jeffrey 
Brooks,  Walter  McCready,  Chris  Lang, 
Darrin  Wheeler  and  Derek  Lassiter. 

The  crowd  then  received  an  interesting 
performance  by  Mr.  lUP  V,  Mark  Strate- 
gos,  on  his  ukulele. 

After  a  brief  question  and  answer  peri- 
od, Darrin  Wheeler  was  named  Mr.  Con- 
geniality of  the  pageant.  Finally,  the  long 
awaited  moment  came  as  Jeffrey  Brooks 
was  announced  as  Mr.  lUP  VI.  His  first 
runner  up  was  Darrin  Wheeler. 

According  to  Beth  Roberts,  chairman 
MR.  lUP  VI,  the  program  took  a  lot  of  hard 
work  and  received  a  lot  of  campus 
support. 

"It  was  great  this  year  because  more 
than  Greeks  sponsored  people  in  the  pag- 
eant," Roberts  said.  "The  guys  were  also 
very  enthusiastic,  were  good  sports  and 
seemed  to  have  a  good  time  with  it." 

Roberts  said  that  approximately  $2,500 
was  raised  at  the  pageant.  One  hundred 
dollars  of  that  amount  will  go  to  Alpha 
Gamma  Delta  Founders  Memorial  Fund 
and  the  remaining  amount  will  be  donat- 


ed to  the  Juvenile  Diabetes  Foundation.

MATCHES  MADE  IN  HEAVEN?

-<^  V- . 


Q.  "What  would  you  do  if  you're  date's 

zipper  was  down  in  a  restaurant?" 

A.  "Reach  under  the  table  and  pull  it  up 

myself." 

Q.  "If  you  were  a  piece  of  clothing,  what 

would  you  be?" 

A.  "A  T-shirt." 

These  questions  and  more  were  an- 
swered by  contestants  in  the  Dating  Game 
sponsored  by  the  Activities  Board  in  No- 
vember. Debbie  Greathouse,  Scott  Bla- 
sey,  Darryl  Davis,  Lisa  Crkvenac,  Janet 
Kirchner,  Bill  Halloran,  Mike  Sample  and 
Linda  DeFazio  all  participated  in  the 
event. 

Georgia  Gibson,  coordinator  of  the 
game,  said  the  contestants  were  chosen 
based  on  their  applications  and  inter- 
views. "We  picked  the  people  who  would 
ask  good  questions  and  put  on  good 
shows,  "  she  said. 

The  event  was  run  just  like  the  televi- 
sion version  of  the  Dating  Game,  but  fea- 
tured free  dinners  at  Bruno's  as  prizes. 

One  contestant,  Janet  Kirchner,  said  the 
game  was  fun,  but  the  answers  to  the 
questions  might  have  been  too  sexist. 
"The  answers  were  a  little  sexist  —  they 
didn't  show  too  much  imagination,"  she 

said. 

Debbie  Greathouse's  reaction  was  a  lit- 
tle different.  "I  got  a  free  dinner  out  of  it. 


anyway,"  she  said,  "and  I  don't  think  I'd 
ever  do  it  again  because  I  think  I  embar- 
rassed myself."

ACTIVITIES 

BOARD:  THE   BOARD 


How  many  oi  your  weekends  here  at 
lUP  were  spent  doing  nothing? 

Not  too  many  .  .  .  You  probably  went  to 
the  $1  movies  in  Pratt  Auditorium,  come- 
dians or  groups  in  Fisher  Auditorium, 
TGIF's  in  the  H.U.B.  or  Steady  Mick's. 

For  all  these  exciting  activities  we  have 
the  Activities  Board  (AB)  to  thank. 

AB  is  the  student  organization  that 
sponsors  the  majority  of  the  recreational, 
social  and  educational  programs  on  the 
lUP  campus.  The  purpose  of  AB  is  to  pro- 
vide students,  faculty  and  staff  with  a  large 
variety  of  entertainment  suited  to  all 
interests. 

The  functions  of  AB  are  unique  to  only 
them.  They  offer  the  opportunity  for  stu- 
dents to  join  to  help  m  any  of  the  seven 
areas  in  AB. 

They  are;  film  and  video  headed  by  Bill 
Halloran,  recreation  headed  by  Georgia 
Gibson,  special  programs  headed  by 
Debbie  Greathouse,  public  relations  me- 
dia headed  by  Bruce  Thiel,  public  rela- 
tions graphics  headed  by  Kim  Greenfield, 
hospitality  headed  by  Laurie  Sullivan  and 
contemporary  music  headed  by  Kenny 
Escher. 

The  chairman  of  the  AB  for  1985-86  was 
Janet  Kirchner.  She  was  a  senior  market- 
ing major.  She  got  involved  with  AB  her 
sophomore  year. 

"I  liked  if  because  we  got  to  see  all  the 
movies  free  and  I  got  to  meet  so  many 
people,"  Kirchner  said. 

Kirchner  is  in  charge  of  all  aspects  of 
AB.  She  oversees  all  decisions  made  by 
the  other  seven  chairmen.  These  seven 
each  have  specific  jobs  which  they  are 
responsible  for. 

Film  and  video  chairman  is  in  charge  of 
choosing  and  ordering  the  movies. 

Recreation  chairman  is  responsible  for 
activities  including  mini-trips  such  as  con- 
cert trips  to  Pittsburgh;  the  dating  game; 
and  buses  for  Thanksgiving,  Christmas 
and  spring  breaks. 

The  special  programs  chairman  is  in 
charge  of  presenting  major  speakers  such 
as  the  comedians  Andy  Andrews  and  Tom 
Deluca. 

Public  relations  media  chairman  is  re- 
sponsible  for   publicizing   AB   events 


through  local  and  campus  media  such  as 
The  Penn,  WIUP-TV,  Rock  103  and  the 
bulletin. 

The  public  relations  graphics  chairman 
is  in  charge  of  creating  posters,  flyers, 
banners,  handbills  and  event  programs  to 
advertise  all  AB  events. 

The  hospitality  chairman  is  responsible 
for  all  the  room  accomodations,  menu 
planning  and  meal  preparation  for  all  AB 
guests  such  as  the  Sharks  and  Tina 
Fabrique. 

The  contemporary  music  chairman  is  in 
charge  of  the  music  for  all  concerts  and 
TGIF's. 

Each  of  these  chairmen  has  a  committee 
which  works  under  them.  Every  detail 
about  the  event  must  be  covered.  The 
chairmen  must  attend  weekly  meetings  as 
well  as  general  membership  meetings. 

All  of  this  probably  sounds  like  a  lot  of 
work.  Why  do  these  students  bother? 

"It  makes  it  all  worthwhile  when  every- 
thing goes  just  right,"  Kirchner  said. 
"When  we  have  a  good  turn  out  and  peo- 
ple had  fun,  then  we've  accomplished 
something." 

These  are  not  the  only  goals  which  AB 
attempts  to  attain.  They  have  internal 
goals  for  all  the  members.  They  may  give 
you  an  idea  of  what  AB  considers  impor- 
tant for  them  to  achieve.  1  -  Get  more 
members  involved.  2  -  Have  fun  3  -  Work 
closely  with  committee  members  4  -  Get 
feedback  from  students  about  the  events 
5  -  Have  a  knowledge  of  school  policies  6 
-  Be  creative  7  -  Generate  long  range 
plans  8  -  Collaborate  with  members  and 
nonmembers  9  -  Achieve  true  communi- 
cation and  feedback  1 0  -  Get  a  cohesive 
advertising  campaign 

As  you  can  tell  AB  takes  a  great  deal  of 
pride  and  seriousness  in  making  their  or- 
ganization professional  and  useful.  They 
have  been  reaching  for  this  image  for  a 
long  time. 

AB  received  their  name  in  1973  when 
they  signed  a  new  constitution.  Before 
1973  AB  was  called  Student  Union  Board. 
Even  in  the  1960's  they  planned  numer- 
ous activities  such  as  a  Dionne  Warwick 
concert  in  1967,  a  Peter,  Paul  and  Mary 
concert,  the  Spanky  and  Our  Gang  con- 


cert, opera  trips  to  Pittsburgh,  weekly  re- 
cord hops  and  University  weekend  (our 
spring  weekend)  which  involved  a  stu- 
dent-faculty Softball  game,  a  co-ed  relay 
sack  race,  the  three-legged  race  and  a  pie 
eating  contest. 

As  you  can  see,  the  events  have 
changed  along  with  the  times  but  the 
main  goal  has  always  been  there  —  to 
bring  entertainment  to  the  students,  facul- 
ty and  community. 

For  this  we  thank  AB.  Their  many  hours 
of  work  and  preparations  give  us  at  lUP 
many  hours  of  enjoyment.

Organizations  ranging  from  the  Judo 
Club  to  the  Newman  Center  were  present 
at  the  Fall  1985  Activities  Fair. 

Sponsored  by  Student  Development 
Programs,  groups  throughout  campus 
were  offered  a  chance  to  "be  seen"  by 
lUP  students.  There  was  no  charge  for 
participating  in  the  fair;  and  the  fair's 
sponsor  supplied  tables,  chairs,  table- 
cloths and  helium-filled  balloons. 

The  organizations  were  asked  to  make 
their  boothes  "unigue"  and  "attractive"  to 
draw  students  to  the  fair  and  to  the  indi- 
vidual organizations. 

More  than  60  organizations  participated 
in  the  October  31st  event  which  was  held 
in  the  multi-purpose  room  in  the  HUB. 
There  were  baked  goods  for  sale,  comput- 
er demonstrations,  crafts  and  a  magician, 
who  was  sponsored  by  the  Activities 
Board. 

Kim  Husenits,  the  Activities  Fair  Coor- 
dinator, said,  "There  was  a  lot  of  versatility 
as  far  as  the  activities  the  student  organiza- 
tions offered.  There  were  a  lot  of  unique 
things.  It  (the  fair)  turned  out  nice."

NIGHTCLUB  OFFERS 
ALTERNATIVE 


Steady  Mick's,  lUP's  non-alcoholic 
nightclub,  opened  last  spring  to  offer  stu- 
dents a  bar-like  atmosphere  without  the 
alcohol. 

BACCHUS,  Boost  Alcohol  Conscious- 
ness Concerning  the  Health  of  University 
Students,  sponsors  the  nightclub,  which  is 
located  in  the  Hadley  Union  Building. 

Kelly  Heryla,  lUP's  Coordinator  of 
Chemical  Health  Programs  and  advisor  to 
BACCHUS,  said  the  "classy  nightclub" 
offers  non-alcoholic  drinks  such  as  da- 
quiris,  pina  coladas,  and  beer.  Music  is 
provided  by  disc  jockeys  and  live  bands. 
He  also  said  attendance  averages  200  stu- 
dents and  when  live  bands  perform,  about 
400-600  students  come  to  listen  and 
dance. 

Heryla  said  that  Steady  Mick's  is  "so- 
phisticated and  not  like  a  high  school 
dance." 

Mike  O'Connor,  a  Phi  Sigma  Kappa 
brother,  who  bartended  at  Steady  Mick's 
one  of  the  nights  that  the  Phi  Sigs  ran  the 
club,  said  he  thought  everyone  had  a  real- 
ly good  time  and  that  it  was  "just  like 
gomg  to  a  dance  club." 

Although  BACCHUS  has  only  25  mem- 
bers on  the  lUP  campus,  including  stu- 
dent president  Tim  Vojtasko,  it  is  involved 
with  many  other  organizations.  These  in- 
clude fraternities,  sororities,  the  Activities 
Board,  RHA,  and  CAS.  They  work  togeth- 


er with  BACCHUS  in  cooperative  pro- 
grams and  get  together  and  sponsor 
events.  One  such  event  is  the  haunted 
house  sponsored  with  the  Phi  Delta  Theta 
fraternity.  The  Phi  Delts  donated  their 
house  for  two  weeks  to  BACCHUS  for  the 
event. 

BACCHUS  has  been  on  the  lUP  cam- 
pus for  a  few  years,  but  it  had  almost  fallen 
apart  until  the  Spring  of  1985,  when 
Steady  Mick's  opened,  according  to  Her- 
yla. It  is  a  national  organization  with  about 
300  chapters  on  college  campuses. 

According  to  Heryla,  BACCHUS  is  a 
"peer-based  movement  to  help  people 
begin  making  responsible  decisions  about 
alcohol  use."  He  said  he  feels  this  is  highly 
affective  in  helping  to  control  alcohol  use 
on  college  campuses. 

Heryla  added  that  the  group  and  night- 
club have  been  well  accepted  by  students 
and  organizations  on  the  campus.  The 
group  surveyed  people  that  came  to 
Steady  Mick's  and  99%  of  the  students 
said  they  would  return. 

According  to  Heryla,  there  have  been 
no  major  problems  with  the  nightclub. 
lUP's  BACCHUS  group  has  been  nation- 
ally recognized  by  other  colleges  and 
asked  to  help  organize  groups  on  other 
campuses,  such  as  Ohio  State.

CREATURES  HAUNT  INDIANA 


It  was  a  clear,  chilly  night.  The  lull 
moon  cast  a  silvery  shadow  over  the  small 
town.  A  gentle  breeze  rustled  the  leaves 
laying  on  the  ground  and  those  few  still 
hanging  on  the  trees. 

At  10:00  p.m.  they  began  to  come  out. 
They  came  from  all  directions.  Clowns, 
witches,  vampires,  bums,  punk  rockers, 
devils,  babies  and  nerds  made  the  yearly 
Halloween  festivities. 

Halloween  celebrations  originated  with 
the  ancient  Druids.  On  the  eve  of  All 
Saints  Day,  Nov.  1 ,  the  Druids  believed 
that  the  spirits  of  the  dead  roamed  around, 
and  they  lit  bonfires  to  drive  them  away. 
Even  after  Nov.  1  became  a  Christian  feast 
day  honoring  all  saints,  the  peasants  main- 
tained old  pagan  beliefs  and  customs  that 
had  grown  up  about  Halloween.  It  be- 
came a  night  of  mystery  and  fun  making, 
with  many  picturesgue  superstitions.  The 
people  came  to  believe  that  they  could 
foretell  the  future  on  that  night  by  doing 
such  things  as  jumping  over  lighted 
candles. 

Walking  along  the  streets  of  Indiana  this 
Halloween  one  would  have  seen  many 
smiling  pumpkin  faces  illuminated  with 
candles.  Ghosts,  goblins,  and  scarecrows 
peeked  out  the  windows  of  many  houses 
and  dorms  along  with  black  cats  and 
witches. 

Halloween  is  one  of  the  most  celebrated 
holidays  at  lUP.  It  gives  people  a  chance 


to  disguise  themselves  and  act  as  silly  as 
they  want  to  because  no  one  will  know 
who  they  are.  Students  begin  brainstorm- 
ing for  costume  ideas  weeks  in  advance. 
After  deciding  on  a  disguise,  they  search 
attics,  closets  and  shopping  malls  for  the 
necessary  attire.  Goodwill  Industries  is  a 
popular  place  for  lUP  costume  seekers. 
Many  a  Halloween  costume  has  been  put 
together  from  purchases  at  Goodwill. 

Once  again  when  the  "spooky  night" 
arrived  students  donned  their  wigs,  rub- 
ber noses,  hats,  black  capes  and  false 
faces  and  headed  uptown  to  the  Hallow- 
een parties  at  Wolfendale's,  Caleco's, 
Culpepper's  and  Al  Patti's,  All  the  bars 
had  a  full  house  ranging  from  babies  to 
vampires. 

Halloween  doesn't  just  last  for  one  night 
at  lUP  though,  it  continues  on  into  the 
weekend.  From  Oct.  31  to  Nov.  2  one 
could  see  pirates,  witches  and  hobos  mak- 
ing their  way  to  private  Halloween  parties 
around  campus.  A  non-alcoholic  Hallow- 
een party  was  held  at  Steady  Mick's 
where  prizes  were  given  for  the  best 
costumes. 

At  the  first  sign  of  daylight  on  Nov.  3, 
the  vampires  sink  back  into  their  graves, 
the  ghosts  fade  into  nonexistence,  the 
candles  in  the  pumpkins  are  extin- 
guished, and  the  Halloween  decorations 
are  put  away.  The  wigs,  rubber  noses, 
fake    vampire    blood,    and    masks    are 


packed  away  until  they  are  needed  the 
next  Halloween  to  complete  another  scary 
disguise.

WINTER 


It's  a  peaceful,  serene  morning  and 
you're  in  a  deep  sleep,  dreaming  of  your 
sweetheart.  You're  rudely  awakened  by 
the  sickening  buzz  of  your  alarm.  Drag- 
ging yourself  out  of  bed,  you  walk  to  the 
shower  in  a  confused  state.  Upon  your 
return,  you  flip  on  the  radio  to  start  your 
day  with  a  little  music.  You're  finally  be- 
ginning to  come  to  life  on  this  dreary  win- 
ter day.  What's  that?  A  list  of  cancellations 
coming  up  m  just  a  few  minutes?  No,  it 
can't  be.  It  was  clear  last  night,  wasn't  it? 
We  weren't  supposed  to  get  any  more  .  .  . 
Snow?  Slowly,  you  walk  toward  the  win- 
dow, almost  afraid  of  what  you'll  see.  It 
looks  as  if  at  least  six  more  inches  of  the 
white  stuff. 

Now,  depending  on  what  type  of  per- 
son you  are,  your  reaction  to  the  snow 
could  be  anything  from  joy  to  despair. 
Shouts  of  enthusiasm  are  heard  from  the 
mouths  of  skiers,  as  they  decide  to  blow 
off  classes  and  hit  the  slopes  at  the  Univer- 
sity ski  lodge.  Cries  of  disbelief  sound 
from  the  students  with  8:00  classes,  for 
they  know  that  soon  they'll  be  crunching 
through  the  snow  on  the  unplowed  side- 
walks. Commuters  cringe  as  they  face  yet 
another  morning  of  shoveling  out  the  car, 
the  driveway  and  the  sidewalk. 

Pull  out  the  boots,  mittens,  scarves,  ear- 
muffs  and  umbrellas  as  you  prepare  to 


enter  the  "winter  wonderland"  that  jack 
Frost  so  graciously  has  left  for  us  once 
again.  (Speaking  of  umbrellas,  do  you  re- 
member when  you  used  to  roll  in  the 
snow,  never  caring  about  how  wet  you 
were?  Imagine  the  looks  that  you  would 
have  received  from  your  parents  if  you 
had  asked  for  an  umbrella  so  you  wouldn't 
get  wet?)  Although  you're  warm  now,  al- 
most to  the  point  of  being  hot,  as  soon  as 
you  step  outside  you'll  realize  that  you 
should  have  put  on  that  extra  sweater. 

On  your  way  to  class,  you'll  probably 
cross  as  least  one  street  in  order  to  walk  on 
a  sidewalk  that  has  mysteriously  disap- 
peared under  a  blanket  of  snow.  More 
than  likely,  you'll  slip  about  three  times  in 
the  Oak  Grove.  Perhaps  you'll  step  in  a 
mound  of  snow  and  engulf  your  entire 
leg.  Or  maybe,  just  maybe,  you'll  find  a 
clear  path  and  think  you've  escaped  the 
snow  traps.  Not  so.  A  gentle  wind  dumps  a 
huge  clump  of  snow  right  smack  on  the 
top  of  your  head.  What  a  fun  way  to  start 
your  day. 

Snow  provides  a  great  excuse  for  day- 
dreaming during  class,  if  you're  lucky 
enough  to  sit  near  a  window.  From  this 
spot,  you  should  have  more  than  ample 
opportunity  to  watch  the  activities  in  the 
snow.  You  discover  that  trying  to  refrain 
from  laughing  as  you  watch  a  person  slip 


or  fall  is  quite  difficult.  A  bunch  of  guys 
bomb  each  other  with  snowballs,  while 
the  girls  do  everything  in  their  power  to 
get  as  far  away  as  possible. 

Later  that  evening,  after  you've  cau- 
tiously walked  back  to  your  room,  and 
have  shed  all  those  extra  clothes,  you  pre- 
pare to  study.  Your  desk  is  clear,  you're  all 
dry  and  you're  all  set  to  begin  your  all- 
nighter  for  your  8:00  exam.  That  is,  of 
course,  until  your  neighbors  decide  that 
it's  time  for  a  marathon  snowball  battle.  At 
first,  you're  able  to  discipline  yourself  to 
stay  out  of  it,  but  then  you  realize  that  you 
have  all  night  to  study,  right?  A  little  bit  of 
fun  can't  hurti  It'll  only  take  a  few  minutes. 
Of  course,  while  you're  out  there,  it  only 
seems  like  a  few  minutes.  In  reality,  it's  a 
few  hours.  When  you  return,  you  change 
clothes  (again)  and  sit  down  at  your  desk. 
You  start  to  think  about  how  you  became 
so  tired.  Maybe  it  was  all  that  walking  in 
the  snow  ...  A  little  bit  of  rest  is  all  you 
need.  Take  a  nap,  and  hope  that  you  can 
get  up  in  time  to  study.  There  doesn't 
seem  to  be  a  great  deal  of  profs  that  will 
accept  your  feeble  excuse  of,  "Well,  re- 
member when  you  were  in  school  and 
there  was  a  big  snowball  battle  and  ..."

SPRING 


Ah,  spring.  The  air  is  fresh  and  crisp, 
the  flowers  and  trees  are  in  bloom  and  the 
white  chill  of  winter  iS'  tucked  away  for 
another  year. 

While  mother  nature  took  care  of  the 
weather,  lUP  students  were  doing  their 
own  things  to  say  goodbye  to  the  winter 
blahs  and  welcome  in  the  spring. 

At  lUP,  students  seem  to  have  a  knack 
for  skipping  right  over  spring  and  jump- 
ing into  summer.  At  the  first  sign  of  warm- 
er weather,  winter  clothes  are  shed  and 
exchanged  for  jean  jackets  and  an  occa- 
sional pair  of  Jams.  While  some  students 
must  adapt  slowly  to  the  shock  of  beautiful 
weather,  others  are  filling  lUP's  "beach- 
es" in  hopes  of  an  early  tan. 

Once  this  spring  (or  summer)  fever  hits 
the  campus,  priorities  are  re-established. 
Being  the  tannest  on  the  floor  seemingly 
becomes  more  important  than  studying 
for  those  finals.  Of  course  some  students 
try  to  study  under  the  sun.  But  their  good 
intentions  are  usually  clouded  by  Copper- 
tone  and  baby  oil. 

No  matter  what  seaon  lUP  decides 
comes  after  winter,  the  campus  definitely 
comes  alive  with  the  warm  weather.  The 
Oak  Grove  is  once  again  filled  with  squir- 


rels and  the  infamous  Bagel  Wagon  reap- 
pears. Students  can  be  found  congregat- 
ing outside  of  the  library  and  Leonard 
Hall  and  practicing  their  favorite  sports  of 
frisbee  and  hackeysack. 

Spring  is  also  the  time  of  year  for  intra- 
murals.  Such  dignified  athletic  clubs  as 
Dead  Meat  and  Dirty  Dealers  along  with 
fraternities  and  sororities  participated  in 
volleyball,  pool,  waterpolo,  Softball,  wal- 
leyball,  tennis  and  table  tennis. 

Once  the  weather  cooperates,  students 
can  also  be  found  at  Mack  Park  or  using 
the  facilities  at  Yellow  Creek.  Thoughts  of 
the  Ski  Lodge  are  traded  for  sailing,  row- 
ing and  canoeing. 

One  last  thing  that  cannot  be  forgotten 
is  romance.  Spring  brings  thoughts  of 
walks  hand-in-hand,  cozy  picnics  for  two, 
and  various  other  indoor  activities.  As  the 
lUP  population  comes  out  of  winter  hibr- 
nation,  they  remember  that  there  are  oth- 
er people  out  there,  and  finding  Mr.  or 
Miss  Right  becomes  a  main  goal. 

Whether  you  fancy  sunbathing  or  sail- 
ing. Jams  or  jeans,  spring  is  definitely  the 
season  at  lUP.

"NOISES  OFF" 


A  bit  of  Broadway  came  to  lUP  on  Oc- 
tober 3  as  the  show  "Noises  Ofi"  made  a 
one-night  appearance  in  Fisher 
Auditorium. 

The  three  act  comedy,  billed  across 
campus  as  "uproariously  funny",  gave  a 
backstage  view  of  what  it  takes  to  put  a 
show  together. 

In  the  opening  act,  the  cast  was  franti- 
cally rehearsing  for  opening  night.  Lines 
were  forgotten,  cues  were  missed  and  the

props  didn't  work. 

As  the  mistakes  were  made,  a  voice 
from  the  back  of  the  auditorium  echoed 
corrections.  Midway  through  the  act,  Noel 
Harrison,  the  show's  star,  made  his  way 
down  to  the  stage.  Harrison  played  Lloyd 
Dallas,  the  show's  director.  He  tried  to 
calmly  correct  the  cast,  [Patricia  Kilgarriff, 
John  Rensenhouse,  Lydia  Laurans,  Mary 
Portser,  Hugh  A.  Rose,  Carolyn  Porter, 
Berry  Cooper,  Moultrie  Patten],  who  co- 
micaly  blundered  through  the  final  dress 
rehearsal. 

The  second  act  switched  the  scene  to 
the  backstage  of  the  show.  The  inter-actor 
romances,  once  sweet,  had  soured,  and 
jealousy  and  revenge  had  set  in.  The  ac- 
tors backstage  sabotaged  the  actors  on 
stage  in  as  many  ways  as  they  could. 

The  third  act  took  the  scene  back  to  a 
"regular"  performance.  The  audience 
witnessed  all  the  backstage  handy  work 
they  saw  in  Act  II  and  what  it  did  to  the 
actors  on  stage.  The  laughter  seldom 
stopped  as  the  actors  fought  their  way 
through  broken  props,  forgotten  lines, 
and  jealous  glares  from  their  fellow 
players. 

"Noises  Off"  gave  those  who  saw  it  a 
new  perspective  on  what  goes  into  a  pro- 
duction, and  perhaps  they'll  think  twice 
about  what  is  going  on  behind  the  scenes 
the  next  time  they  see  a  show.

"A  CHRISTMAS  CAROL"

The  Indiana  Arts  Council  and  lUP  Artist 
Series  presented  The  Nebraska  Theatre 
Caravan  in  Charles  Dickens'  "A  Christ- 
mas Carol"  on  Dec.  11,  1985. 

Fisher  Auditorium  glowed  with  the 
Christmas  spirit  as  students,  faculty  and 
townspeople  enjoyed  the  performance  of 
Patrick  McCarthy  as  Ebenezer  Scrooge. 

The  feeling  of  Christmas  was  height- 
ened by  the  carol,  "God  Rest  Ye  Merry 
Gentlemen"  which  opened  the  play. 

Scrooge  was  led  through  his  past,  pre- 
:.'  nt  and  future  Christmases  by  ghosts  of 
each.  As  the  legendary  story  goes,  the 
three  succeeded  in  showing  Scrooge  the 
meaning  of  Christmas. 

The  costumes,  designed  by  Tom  Crisp 
and  Kathryn  Wilson,  of  all  the  cast  were 
intriguing  and  eye-catching  especially 
those  of  the  three  ghosts.  This  added  to 
the  audience's  enjoyment  of  the  produc- 
tion which  they  showed  with  their  enthusi- 
astic applause. 

The  scenery,  designed  by  James  Oth- 
use,  was  realistic  looking.  The  music  di- 
rector was  Terry  Alford.  The  play  was  di- 
rected by  Carl  Beck  and  choreographed 
by  Joanne  Cady. 

By  the  end  of  the  presentation  the  audi- 
ence was  filled  with  the  Christmas  feelings 
usually  only  experienced  by  children.

TAILGATING  .  .  . 


There  are  two  activities  college  students 
absolutely  love:  partying  and  football. 
And  so  why  not  combine  these  two  activi- 
ties into  one?  Someone  did  and  formed 
one  of  the  best-known  college  traditions  - 
tailgaiting. 

lUP  tailgates  support  the  reputation  lUP 
has  earned  of  "knowing  how  to  party." 
Friends  gather  in  the  parking  lot  amidst 
cars,  trucks  and  campers  to  exchange  the 
latest  news  and  gossip  and  to  discuss  the 
up-coming  game.  Some  people  bring 
grills  and  have  cookouts.  And  of  course 
there  is  the  inevitable  alcohol.  Kegs,  bot-

ties  and  cans  litter  the  parking  lot.  "It's  a 
big  outdoor  party,"  said  Dawn  House- 
holder, senior  accounting  major.  "It's  a 
good  chance  to  get  together  with  friends 
you  wouldn't  otherwise  get  to  see 
throughout  the  semester." 

Before  the  game  begins  the  crowd 
grabs  a  last  drink  or  hotdog  before  enter- 
ing the  stadium  for  the  first  half.  At  half 
time  partiers  return  to  grab  a  cold  beer  to 
cool  off  if  the  day  is  hot,  or  something  to 
warm  the  blood  in  cold  weather.  After  the 
game  the  parking  lot  turns  into  a  large 
arena  of  celebration  as  the  Indians  win  yet 
another  game  in  their  impressive  season. 

Supporting  the  lUP  football  team  is  only 
a  part  of  the  tailgating  spirit.  An  atmo- 
sphere of  fun  and  partying  pervades  the 
festivities.  According  to  Ellen  Hozak,  a  ju- 
nior chemistry  major,  "Tailgates  are  a 
great  time.  They're  a  great  way  to  meet 
people." 

On  special  occasions  such  as  Home- 
coming tailgates  carry  even  more  mean- 
ing. Alumni  return  to  meet  with  old 
friends  they  haven't  seen  in  years,  meet 
new  students  and  see  what  their  alma  ma- 
ter is  like  after  years  of  being  away.  Tail- 
gates provide  an  informal  care-free  atmo- 
sphere in  which  to  rediscover  lUP.

Off  Campus  Brings  Freedom? 


It's  7  a.m.,  late  January.  As 
you  peer  out  the  corner  of 
the  shade  you  hope  for  that 
split  second  that  "mother  na- 
ture" was  on  your  side  last 
night  and  she  melted  all  the 
snow  and  raised  the  tempera- 
ture to  above  freezing. 

You  never  thought  about 
the  weather  last  spring  when 
you  and  your  friends 
checked  out  this  apartment 
on  Philadelphia  Street.  All 
you  could  think  of  were  no 
"caf"  food,  extra  space  and 
especially— NO  RULES. 

The  possibilities  were  end- 
less .  .  .  parties,  privacy  and 
even  eating  breakfast  in  your 
P.J.'s. 

Well,  the  possibilities  were 
endless  alright  .  .  .  and  so  are 
the  responsibilities. 

The  responsibilities  clutter 
your  mind  as  you  force  your- 
self into  the  shower  so  you 
can  make  it  to  your  first  class. 

"Why  is  it  that  every  time  I 
want  milk  for  my  cereal 
there's  none  to  be  found. 
When  am  I  going  to  get  to 
the  store?  Oh  we're  out  of 
bread  too!" 

One  of  your  four  room- 
mates walks  into  the  kitchen 


as  you  finish  mumbling. 

"What  are  you  talking 
about?",  she  says. 

"Nothing",  you  mutter. 

"Who's  in  the  bathroom 
now?"  you  ask  as  you  stand 
by  the  door  listening  to  the 
shower  run. 

"Why  does  she  always  lock 
the  door?  All  I  want  to  do  is 
brush  my  teeth.  I  guess  I'll 
just  be  late  for  my  8  o'clock 
class." 

Finally,  you're  off.  You 
wonder  for  about  the  fifth 
time  today  why  you  moved 
out  of  the  dorms.  You  were  so 
close  to  your  classes,  you 
never  had  to  wait  to  get  in  the 
bathroom  and  if  you  got  sick 
of  your  roommates  you  just 
went  to  visit  someone  down 
the  hall. 

Well,  as  the  day  goes  on 
you  begin  to  feel  better.  You 
head  home  with  a  new  out- 
look on  apartment  life. 

It's  your  night  to  make  sup- 
per so  you  decide  to  make 
your  mom's  famous  tuna  cas- 
serole recipe. 

"This  is  gross,"  one  says. 

"Yuck,"  another  contrib- 
utes as  she  chokes.  The  other 
two  just  sit  and  stare. 


After  everyone  manages  to 
find  something  in  the  frig  for 
supper  you  are  all  sitting 
around  the  living  room  study- 
ing and  watching  T.V.  at  the 
same  time  (since,  of  course, 
you  all  can't  agree). 

Now,  you  think  to  yourself, 
this  is  what  living  on  your 
own  IS  all  about.  Sitting 
around  doing  what  ever  you 
want  with  friends. 

Then  one  of  your  room- 
mates says,  "What  are  we  go- 
ing to  do  about  the  broken 
furnace  and  the  clog  in  the 
bathroom  sink?"  as  the  other 
three  stare  at  you  as  if  it  was 
all  your  fault  that  the  sink  is 
clogged  and  the  furnace  is 
broken. 

"I  told  you,  I  called  the  last 
three  times.  I  refuse  to  call 
the  landlord  and  tell  him 
something  else  is  broken," 
you  shout  back  as  you  button 
the  top  button  on  your  winter 
coat. 

This  may  not  be  the  best 
time  to  take  a  stand  on  this 
issue  you  think  to  yourself. 
But  maybe  this  time  they'll 
break  down  and  one  of  them 
will  take  the  responsibility. 

It  wouldn't  be  so  bad  if  you 


didn't  have  to  be  the  one 
who  always  figures  out  the 
phone  bill,  makes  sure  the 
bills  are  paid  on  time,  works 
out  the  cooking  schedule  and 
makes  sure  there  are  enough 
groceries  in  the  apartment. 

Well,  you  think  to  yourself 
after  everyone  has  gone  to 
bed,  "I  guess  apartment  life 
isn't  all  that  bad.  We  do  get  to 
have  parties  and  eat  whatev- 
er we  want  whenever  we 
want.  So  we  argue  over  who 
does  the  dishes  and  who  is 
going  to  run  to  the  store." 

Believe  me,  it's  all  worth  it 
when  this  place  becomes 
yours.  No  matter  how  much 
of  the  paint  if  peeling  off  the 
walls  and  how  old  the  appli- 
ances are,  it's  still  yours. 

Off-campus  living  is  some- 
thing everyone  should  expe- 
rience. The  responsibilities 
accompany  the  benefits  but 
you  learn  how  to  handle 
them  and  that's  all  part  of  the 
fun.

would  rob  us  of  our  academic 
souls,  not  to  mention  irrepaira- 
ble  cellular  brain  damage. 
During  this  colinizational  peri- 
od, we  developed  mto  our 
own  subculture,  taking  under 
our  wing  people  cast  out  by 
society;  once  befriended,  a 
cold  Old  Milwaukee  awaited 
them  by  the  hearth. 

During  this  early  phase  of 
Shack  life,  sleep  was  of  prime 
importance.  One  o'  clock 
classes  were  just  too  early  to  be 
dealt  with.  This  lust  for  sleep, 
some  outside  observers  noted, 
was  due  to  our  long  and  pains- 
taking study  habits.  Not  so. 
Rather,  it  was  the  effects  of 
Donkey  Kong,  Frogger  and 
other  controlled  substances 
which  kept  the  Shacksters 
alive  and  kickin'  well  after 
dawn. 

Music  gave  the  Shack  its 
spirit  and  meaning.  One  could 
hear  anything  from  Bach  to 
Zappa  during  the  course  of  our 
infamous  parties.  Plastic  party- 
goers  who  reguested  Madon- 
na or  Prince  were  physically 
removed,  taken  to  the  yard 
and  repeatedly  flogged.  Van 
Halen  albums  were  crucified 


on  the  walls.  Phi!  Collins  and 
Bruce  Springsteen  were 
burned  in  effigy.  Shack  gradu- 
ates (they  do  exist)  were  often 
quoted  as  saying  music  gave 
them  the  power  to  party  on, 
amidst  the  most  trying  of  times. 
Then  there  was  "The  God," 
whose  daily  output  of  video 
garbage  satisfied  our  cravings 
for  non-intellectual  stimuli. 
Wars  over  "The  God"  were 
frequent  and  bloody.  Steeler 
games  which  coincided  with 
the  World  Series  caused  more 
than  one  skirmish  during  the 
course  of  the  afternoon.  The 
same  held  true  with  General 
Hospital  and  the  Hillbillies. 
Whether  we  were  busy  or  not, 
due  respect  and  homage  were 
given  to  "The  God"  on  a  daily 
basis. 

Alas,  graduation  is  upon  me 
and  my  days  at  the  Shack  are 
over.  Others  will  follow  in  our 
footsteps,  hopefully  in  the 
same  style  and  manner  in 
which  we  existed.  The  Shack, 
as  an  institution  will  not  be  the 
same  without  us,  nor  we  with- 
out it.  But  as  one  former  Shack 
member  said  upon  leaving, 
"The  true  test  of  an  institutiori 
is  how  it  deals  with  change." 
For  the  benefit  of  future  Shack 
members,  I  pray  the  spirit  of 
the  Shack  endures.

Dorna  Life  Has  Ups  And  Dovrns 


The  time:  2  a.m.,  late  Sep- 
tember, 1985. 

The  place:  An  lUP  resi- 
dence hall  (choose  your 
favorite). 

As  you  finally  begin  to  drift 
off  to  sleep  after  a  long  night 
of  studying,  BOOM!  You  are 
awakened  by  the  first  note  on 
volume  10  of  your  next-door 
neighbor's  stereo.  You  resign 
yourself  to  the  fact  that  it's  go- 
ing to  be  another  long  night, 
and  as  you  try  to  calm  your 
nerves  from  the  initial  shock, 
you  lose  yourself  in  memories 
of  a  few  weeks  ago  when  you 
first  entered  the  DORMITO- 
RY ZONE  .  .  . 

Yes,  it's  day  one  of  fresh- 
men orientation.  You've  just 
arrived  and  are  waiting  to 
move  into  the  dorm.  You're  a 
little  tense,  but  also  very  ex- 
cited over  the  thought  of 
meeting  so  many  new  peo- 
ple. Your  first  get  together 
with  the  other  residents  on 
your  floor  is  that  night's 
"mandatory"  hall  meeting. 

"This  is  great,"  you  say  to 
your  roommate,  who  is  hav- 


ing trouble  concealing  her 
boredom.  After  a  yawn,  she 
tells  you  that  her  sister  lived 
in  this  dorm  and  it  really  isn't 
so  great  after  all.  But,  being 
an  optimistic  freshman,  you 
tell  her  otherwise. 

"Just  think,"  you  tell  her, 
"we'll  meet  so  many  great 
people  and  do  things  togeth- 
er and  form  friendships  that 
will  last  a  lifetime." 

Your  roommmate  laughs 
and  tells  you  that  she  would 
rather  choose  her  own 
friends  than  be  forced  to 
share  a  bathroom  with  50  oth- 
er girls  that  she  had  to  meet 
through  some  mandatory  hall 
meeting.  You  can  tell  it's  go- 
ing to  be  an  interesting  year, 
but  you  smile  and  try  to  make 
the  best  of  it. 

Two  weeks  later,  classes 
have  begun  and  so  has  study- 
ing. Unfortunately,  when  you 
want  to  study,  the  floor  wants 
to  party,  and  being  the  socia- 
ble type,  you  don't  mind  sac- 
rificing your  studies  for  just 
one  night.  One  night  turns 
into    two,    and    before    you 


know  it,  the  weeks  have  gone 
by  and  you  haven't  accom- 
plished a  thing. 

Enter  hall  meeting  number 
two,  and  the  establishment  of 
"quiet  hours"  which  are  usu- 
ally around  1 1  p.m.  when  the 
floor  is  just  getting  its  second 
wind. 

"Why  don't  you  just  pack 
an  overnight  bag  and  crash 
in  the  library  for  the  night?" 
your  roomie  asks. 

Not  a  bad  idea,  but  you 
know  it  wouldn't  work.  In- 
stead, you  and  your  room- 
mate decide  to  console  your- 
selves with  thoughts  on 
where  to  live  next  year. 

"If  we  lived  in  a  house," 
she  says,  "we  wouldn't  have 
to  listen  to  other  people's 
rules. 

"We  could  eat  what  we 
want  to,  when  we  want  to  and 
have  our  own  private 
bathroom." 

"But  what  about  all  the 
people  we're  meeting?"  you 
ask  her.  "And  we  don't  have 
to  cook,  or  clean  our  own 
bathroom.  We're  right  in  the 


center  of  the  action  on  cam- 
pus. If  we  move  to  an  apart- 
ment, we'll  be  pretty  far 
away,  and  we'll  have  to  walk 
in  the  cold  to  our  classes,  and 
we'll  have  to  go  grocery 
shopping,  and  to  the  laun- 
dromat, and  ..." 

Back  in  the  present,  it's 
now  3  a.m.  "How  could  I  pos- 
sibly have  wanted  to  stay  in 
the  dorms?"  you  ask  yourself, 
over  the  stereo. 

Although  dorms  aren't  for 
everyone,  some  people  actu- 
ally do  like  them.  There  are 
actually  juniors  and  seniors 
who  still  live  there,  and,  be- 
lieve it  or  not,  some  students 
even  come  back  to  the  dorms 
after  living  off-campus  for  a 
year. 

These  students  usually  find 
that  the  responsibility  of  run- 
ning an  apartment  or  house 
are  too  great,  and  they  de- 
cide to  go  back  to  the  dorms 
where  they  have  fewer  things 
to  worry  about. 

But  out  of  all  the  students 
who  live  in  the  dorms,  about 
50%  are  freshmen  or  trans- 
fers. They  are  guaranteed 
housing,  while  other  students 
must  participate  in  a  random 
selection  process.  Students 
shouldn't  be  discouraged  if 
they  end  up  in  the  last  group 
to  be  placed  in  a  residence 
hall  because  there  is  usually 
enough  housing  for  every- 
one who  desires  it. 

Obviously,  the  choice  of 
dorms  vs.  off-campus  hous- 
ing is  a  personal  preference. 
Even  if  off-campus  housing 
wins  out  over  life  in  the  "dor- 
mitory zone,"  college  life  just 
wouldn't  be  complete  with- 
out dorm  life.  Just  think,  there 
is  no  challenge  to  break  any 
rules  when  you  live  in  your 
own  place!

More  Than

No  parking  signs,  walking  in 
the  rain,  dodging  pedestrians, 
icy  roads,  parking  permits  .  .  . 
These  terms  are  familair  to  the 
8,000  commuter  students  of 
lUP. 

A  commuter  student  in- 
cludes all  individuals  who  do 
not  live  within  the  boundaries 
of  the  campus.  These  individ- 
uals resort  to  other  means  of 
transportation,  such  as  walk- 
ing, cars,  bicycles  and  motor- 
cycles. Of  these  8,000  stu- 
dents, 2,400  individuals  need 
parking  permits  for  on-campus 
parking. 

Finding  a  place  to  park  a  ve- 
hicle can  be  a  very  frustrating 
experience,  especially  at  7:45 
a.m.  when  the  commuter  is 
rushing  to  an  8:00  class.  There 
are  several  parking  areas  on 
campus:  Memorial  Field 
House  Stadium,  Student 
Union,  Pratt  Drive,  Shafer 
Hall,  Stonewall,  Esch  and 
Stright  lots. 

Every  now  and  then,  one 
will  see  a  bright  orange  park- 
ing boot  connected  to  the 
back  wheel  of  a  vehicle  or 
those  "dreaded"  slips  of  yel- 
low paper  stuck  behind  a 
windsheild  wiper.  But,  accord- 
ing to  Eugene  Thomas,  traffic 
officer  for  campus  police, 
"This  year  parking  has  been 
better  than  the  past  years."

Adjust 

There  is  an  increase  in  the 
number  of  adult  students  at- 
tending lUP.  Approximately 
1,045  adult  students  are  at- 
tending lUP  and  more  than 
1 00  students  are  living  on  cam- 
pus. These  students  are  seek- 
ing to  further  their  knowledge 
for  a  better  career. 

The  Adult  Student  League, 
a  campus  recognized  organi- 
zation for  the  "non-traditional 
aged  students",  began  in  1982 
on  the  lUP  campus.  This  orga- 
nization offers  support  by  pro- 
viding a  liason  between  adult 
students  and  the  lUP  adminis- 
tration. Also,  they  provide  a 
friendly  social  environment 
with  others  that  share  a  com- 
mon bond.  This  association 
provides  information  about: 
child  care,  typewriters,  com- 
puter terminals,  copy  ma- 
chines, telephones  and 
television. 

"Some  adult  students  have  a 
hard  time  adjusting  to  college 
life.  Many  problems  deal  with 
having  a  18/19  year  old  as  a 
roommate,"  said  Doug  Had- 
bavny,  president  of  the  Adult 
Student  League.  The  league  is 
trying  to  pass  a  proposal  for  a

"UCC's  Strike 


BURGER 

KING 


It's  11:30  p.m.,  you're  sit- 
ting on  your  bed  trying  to 
catch  up  on  the  three  weeks 
of  Geography  reading  you 
let  slide  by  since  your  last 
test.  You  know  you  shouldn't 
have  let  yourself  get  behind, 
and  now  you're  determined 
to  memorize  three  conti- 
nents, their  countries,  their 
capitals  and  major  industries 
before  tomorrow's  mid-term. 
You  keep  telling  yourself, 
"I'm  not  doing  anything  until 
I'm  finished  studying." 

Then  it  hits,  a  growl  comes 
from  the  depths  of  your  stom- 
ach. You  begin  to  hear  a 
small  voice  chant,  "FEED 
ME!  FEED  ME!"  You  are 
about  to  become  a  victim  of  a 
UCC  or  an  "Wiidentified 
Cbllegiate  Qaving." 

You  rush  to  the  refrigera- 
tor; milk,  bread,  eggs,  left- 
over meatloaf,  apples,  cheese 
and  a  bottle  of  kethcup.  You 


slam  it  shut,  the  UCC  has 
placed  a  major  limitation  on 
you  —  nothing  in  the  refrig- 
erator, pantry,  vending  ma- 
chine or  care  package  from 
your  grandmother  will  satisfy 
you.  A  UCC  makes  you 
hungry  for  the  only  foods  you 
don't  have  in  your  house, 
apartment  or  dorm  room. 

Your  eyes  are  beginning  to 
glaze  over,  you  can't  decide 
just  what  you're  hungry  for 
but  you  know  you'll  have  to 
leave  your  studying  to  go  get 
it. 

You  reach  into  your  wallet 
and  pull  out  a  five  dollar  bill. 
You  give  your  roommate  an 
evil  smile,  you  put  on  your 
coat  and  head  outside  on 
your  munchie  mission. 

As  you're  walking  through 
the  dark,  visions  of  sugar 
plums  and  pizzas  dancing  in 
your  head,  you  decide  you'll 
do  the  best  thing  possible  in

this  situation,  make  a  "Sheetz 
Run." 

You  walk  five  blocks.  You 
see  the  red  and  yellow  lights 
blazing  in  the  darkness.  Your 
pace  quickens,  you're  at  the 
door  .clutching  your  five  dol- 
lar bill  you  rush  inside. 

Now  your  UCC  takes  over, 
you  grab  three  packs  of  Tas- 
tykakes,  a  bag  of  Combos,  a 
32  oz.  Coke,  two  hot  dogs.a 
Klondike  bar  and  a  super- 
sized  Snickers  bar. 

You  go  to  the  check-out 
counter.  The  clerk  gives  you 
a  dirty  look,  the  kind  of  look 
your  mother  used  to  give  you 
when  she  caught  you  eating 
Oreos  before  dinner.  The 
register  tallies  up  $4.98.  It 
was  close,  you  hand  the  clerk 
your  money  and  happily 
leave  with  your  bag. 

When  you  return  to  your 
apartment,  you  spill  your 
treasure  onto  your  bed  (ex- 


cept for  the  Klondike  bar 
which  you  ate  on  the  way 
home).  You  get  another  dirty 
look,  this  time  from  your 
roommate  as  you  begin  your 
feast. 

In  fifteen  minutes  flat  your 
pig-out  is  over.  Your  bed 
looks  like  the  ground  under 
the  bleachers  after  a  football 
game,  wrappers  are  thrown 
everywhere.  You  belch  con- 
tently,  your  roommate  turns 
pale  with  disgust. 

It's  now  12:27  am,  maybe 
you  should  get  back  to  your 
Geography.  Licking  the 
chocolate  off  your  fingers, 
you  prop  your  book  on  your 
bulging  stomach  and  chubby 
knees.  What  life!  You  think  of 
all  you've  eaten  and  say  to 
you  roommate,  "If  Pizza 
House  is  still  delivering,  do 
you  wanna  split  a  pepperoni, 
mushroom  and  onion  pizza?"

lUP's  two  branch  campuses 
are  located  in  Punxsutawney 
and  Kittanning.  Both  are  with- 
in 30  miles  of  Indiana. 

The  branch  campuses  offer 
(general  education  classes  in- 
tended for  those  students  plan- 
ning to  complete  their  studies 
at  the  main  campus.  The  Punx- 
sutawney  branch  campus  of- 
fers an  associate  degree  in 
Criminology,  which  is  not  of- 
fered at  the  main  campus,  and 
one  in  Business  as  well.  The 
Armstrong  County  (Kittan- 
ning) campus  offers  graduate 
level  courses  and  a  certifica- 
tion in  the  field  of  real  estate 
under  the  school  of  contmuing 
education. 

The  number  one  reason  for 
students  attending  the  branch 
campuses  is  the  social  world. 
With  the  Armstrong  county 
campus  enrolling  450  students 
and  250  in  Punxsutwaney,  stu- 
dents make  closer  friends  and 
peer  groups  are  easily  formed. 

"I  feel  one  of  the  strong 
points  of  the  branch  campuses 
is  that  they  are  much  smaller," 
Mark  Anthony,  assistant  to  the 
director,  said.  "The  students 
get  to  know  their  instructors 
and  each  other  a  lot  better." 

Another  way  students  bene- 
fit from  the  branch  campuses  is 
by  participating  in  extracurric- 
ular activities. 

The  Armstrong  county  cam- 
pus has  its  own  student  gov- 
ernment association,  which 
plans  activities  such  as  dances, 
parties  and  movies.  Both  cam- 
puses have  student  union  facil- 
ities which  offer  students  pool 
tables  and  pmg  pong  tables. 

Punxsutawney's  campus  has 
two  outdoor  tennis  courts,  an 
outdoor  basketball  court  and  a 
Softball  field.  Students  partici-' 
pate  in  intramural  teams  on 
both  campuses. 

Students  live  in  the  resi- 
dence halls,  one  for  males  and 
one  for  females,  which  are  lo- 
cated on  both  campuses.  Stu-

dents  are  also  free  to  live  off 
ipus    in    rooming    houses 
111  J    apartments    if    they    so 
desire. 

The  branch  campus  stu- 
dents definitely  bring  the 
benefits  of  the  branch  campus- 
es to  the  main  campus.  The 
friendship  bonds  formed  there 
help  them  through  their  future 
years  at  lUP's  main  campus.

Uptown  Grows 


Uptown.  This  word  brings  to 
mind  many  images  to  different 
people.  To  some  students  it's 
tfie  place  with  the  small  speci- 
ality shops,  stationary  stores 
and  Brody's.  To  others,  it's  the 
bars:  Caleco's,  Wolfendale's, 
Al  Patti's,  Nap  Patti's,  Culpep- 
per's and  the  Phone  Booth. 

In  the  past  two  years,  many 
changes  have  occured  up- 
town. Businesses  have  shut 
down:  Troutman's,  End  Result, 
Waxler's  and  Mathew's.  Busi- 
nesses have  opened  up  too, 
like  McCroy's  and  the  Atrium. 

The  Atrium  is  perhaps  the 
most  unique  building  uptown. 


Formeriy  the  G.C.  Murphy 
building,  it  was  renovated  by 
O.K.  Associates  of  Lancaster. 
A  full  ceiling  sky-light  is  the 
building's  most  outstanding 
feature.  Various  speciality 
shops  operate  in  the  Atrium: 
including  Baubles  and  Beads, 
Kis  Photography,  the  Stone 
Rose  and  Issac's,  an  exotic 
sandwich  shop. 

Whether  it's  shopping,  eat- 
ing, or  drinking,  uptown  or 
"downtown"  Indiana  has  a  lot 
to  offer  lUP  students.

Retrospect  .  .  . 


September 

September  was  a  month  of  tragedies 
world-wide.  The  devastating  earthquakes 
which  hit  Mexico  buried  about  8,000  people 
under  the  rubble  of  the  demolished  build- 
ings in  Mexico  City.  Earlier  in  the  month 
another  catastrophe  occurred  in  England. 
The  chartered  British  Airtouring  Boeing  737 
burst  into  flames  killing  54  people.  This  crash 
made  1985  the  worst  single  year  in  aviation. 

Nationally  the  country  panicked  as  AIDs 
became  more  of  a  household  word  than 
ever.  More  children  were  being  kept  from 
schools  as  the  controversy  over  how  AIDS  is 
transmitted  continued.  These  children  ac- 
quired the  disease  through  blood 
transfusions. 

Locally  at  lUP,  students  returned  back  to 
school  facing  the  threat  of  a  strike.  Strikes 
were  abundant  locally  and  in  the  county 
high  schools.  lUP  students  came  back  to  a 
new  student  union,  the  Hadley  Union  Build- 
ing (HUB).  This  building  included  a  com- 
plete recreation  center  with  a  dance  studio 
and  racquetball  courts.  lUP  also  hosted  for- 
mer secretary  of  state,  Gen.  Alexander  Haig, 
and  the  Dancetellers  in  September. 

As  always,  September  was  the  big  month 
for  television  show  premiers.  Not  to  much 
surprise,  viewers  were  faced  with  many  pro- 
grams cloning  last  year's  smash,  "The  Cosby 
Show."  CBS  started  "Charlie  and  Compa- 
ny" with  Flip  Wilson.  NBC  aired  "227."  ABC 
premiered  "Here's  the  Mayor"  and  the  most 
blatant  photocopy,  "Growing  Pains"  with 
Alan  Thicke.  One  premiere  all  the  networks 
turned  down  was  the  airing  of  the  contracep- 
tion advertisements.  This  "premiere"  was 
taken  over  soley  by  the  cable  television 
stations.

October 


October,  as  always,  was  a  special  month 
for  all  lUP  students  and  graduates.  This  Oc- 
tober was  no  different. 

Homecoming  was  celebrated  the  week- 
end of  the  18-20.  The  carnival,  parade  and 
football  game  (against  Clarion)  were  damp- 
ened by  rain.  But  the  rain  didn't  keep  the 
crowds  away.  Dedicated  fans  attended  the 
game.  Alumni  from  all  over  enjoyed  the 
weekend  festivities  as  they  reminisced  with 
friends,  old  and  new. 

The  festivities  of  homecoming  weren't  all 
that  were  celebrated  this  month  .  .  .  APS- 
CUF,  students  and  parents  celebrated  after 
the  proffessors  accepted  the  contract  on  the 
16  and  17  of  the  month,  averting  a  strike.  The 
new  salary  package  called  for  restoration  of  5 
percent  increase  and  a  4  percent  increase

across  the  board  for  all  the  faculty.  They 
also  received  many  non -salary  improve- 
ments: an  increase  in  medical  coverage,  life 
insurance  increase,  increase  in  accidental 
death  insurance  and  others. 

Students  at  lUP  "celebrated"  the  appear- 
ance of  Canadian  rocker,  Corey  Hart,  in 
Fisher  Auditorium  on  the  22nd.  Some  stu- 
dents who  were  really  thrilled  about  Hart, 
camped  outside  of  Pratt  auditorium  the  night 
before  the  tickets  went  on  sale. 

Other  "hunks",  female  lUP  students  went 
wild  over  were  the  contestants  at  the  MR. 
lUP  contest  on  the  28th.  Jeff  Brooks,  the  win- 
ner, sang  an  arrangement  of  "Somewhere 
Over  the  Rainbow."  All  the  contestants 
made  the  women  scream  when  they  danced 
to  "I'm  So  Excited."  But  no  one  made  them 
scream  louder  than  Chris  Lang  when  he 
danced  to  "Jungle  Love." 

lUP  continued  to  celebrate  as  October 
winded  down  on  Halloween.  As  usual,  the 
campus  was  lit  up  from  everything  from 
tramps  to  vampires.  Students  enjoyed  this 
opportunity  to  be  as  weird  and  strange  as 
they  wanted  to  be. 

In  state-wide  news,  Anthony  Mandia,  44, 
and  his  family  were  celebrating  on  the  18th 
after  Mandia  received  the  first  Penn  State 
heart,  an  artificial  heart  from  the  Hershey 
Medical  Center.  Doctors  said  that  Mandia 
would  have  died  within  72  hours  if  he  did  not 
receive  the  artificial  heart. 

Nationally,  the  space  shuttle,  the  Chal 
lenger,  was  set  off  into  space  on  the  31st  with 
the  largest  crew  ever.  The  eight  members, 
five  Americans,  two  West  Germans  and  a 
Dutchman  spent  a  week  on  round-the-clock 
research. 

The  highjacking  of  the  Achille  Lauro  in 
Italy  on  the  7th  brought  terror  to  the  month. 


Palestineian.  gunmen,  headed  by  Moham-" 
med  Abu  el  Abbas,  took  over  the  ship  de-

washed  ashore  after  being  shot  by  one  of  the 
four  terrorists  on  board  the  Achille  Lauro. 

Winding  up  the  month  was  one  of  the 
year's  most  exciting  sports  events.  The 
World  Series  of  1985  turned  out  to  be  even

It  has  been  called  the  Woodstock  of  the 
80s.  In  an  effort  to  help  the  starving  peo- 
ple of  Africa,  more  than  60  artists  gath- 
ered to  perform  on  July  13,  1985.  It  was  an 
effort  that  raised  approximately  $40  mil- 
lion dollars. 

Live  Aid  was  broadcast  simultaneously 
from  John  F.  Kennedy  Stadium,  in  Phila- 
delphia, and  Wembley  Stadium,  in  Lon- 
don. The  13-hour  concert  was  carried  by 
ABC  and  reached  over  100  countries. 

The  event  included  stars  from  the  60s, 
70s  and  80s.  Madonna,  U2,  Duran  Duran, 
Sting  and  David  Bowie  were  just  a  few  of 
the  performers  who  contributed  their  tal- 
ents to  the  day.  Jack  Nicholson  served  as 
master  of  ceremonies;  Tina  Turner  and 
Mick  Jagger  sang  a  hot  duet;  and  Phil 
Collins  flew  across  the  Atlantic  to  perform 
at  both  the  Philadelphia  and  London  con- 


certs. Reuniting  for  the  concert  were 
Crosby,  Stills,  Nash  and  Young  and  Led 
Zeppelin.  Other  performances  included 
folk  singer  Joan  Baez,  Bob  Dylan  and  Pe- 
ter, Paul  and  Mary. 

Bob  Geldof,  leader  of  the  Boomtown 
Rats  and  organizer  of  the  Live  Aid  con- 
cert, received  a  nomination  for  the  Nobel 
Peace  Prize  for  getting  the  show  together. 
His  involvement  in  famine  relief  began 
when  he  organized  British  acts  for  the 
song  "Do  They  Know  It's  Christmas?" 

During  the  Live  Aid  Concert,  the  world 
was  informed  about  the  problems  in  Afri- 
ca, and  what  they  could  do  to  solve  them. 
The  success  of  Live  Aid  has  prompted 
other  efforts  to  help  famine  relief  and  oth- 
er world  problems.

November 


'UP  celebrated  its  twentieth  year  as  a  uni- 

:  sity  during  the  week  of  November  4.  Vari- 
ous activities  recognized  both  students  and 
faculty  members.  The  week  ended  with  the 
presidential  investiture  ceremonies  for  Dr. 
John  D.  Welty  on  November  8.  lUP  presi- 
dents of  the  past,  as  well  as  trustee  members 
and  numerous  other  guests  attended  the  cer- 
emonies in  Fisher  Auditorium. 

November  was  the  month  for  Parents  Day 
on  the  second.  The  highlight  of  the  day  was 
the  Big  Indian's  33-0  victory  over  Shippens- 
burg;  this  win  gave  them  the  PSAC  West 
title. 

The  first  weekend  in  November  was  not 
the  best  for  five  lUP  fraternities.  The  Pennsyl- 
vania Liquor  Control  Board  raided  five  fra- 
ternities, bringing  citations  against  nine  indi- 
viduals for  underage  drinking. 

November  3  was  the  date  for  the  fifth  an- 
nual Anchor  Splash  sponsored  by  Delta 
Ganma.  Phi  Delta  Theta  and  Alpha  Sigma 


Tau  were  the  winning  fraternity  and  sorority. 
Proceeds  benefited  Aid  to  the  Blind. 

On  November  1 1 ,  lUP's  military  personal 
and  various  administrators  paid  tribute  to  the 
nation's  veterans  on  Veteran's  Day.  After  a 
parade  on  Philadelphia  Street,  there  were 
ceremonies  between  Keith  and  Leonard 
Halls  at  the  Vietnam  Veteran's  Memorial. 

Other  lUP  happenings  in  November  in- 
cluded Theatre-By-The-Grove's  production 
of  "The  Robber  Bridegroom;"  and  an  ap- 
pearance by  Marie  Ragghianti  (who  told  of 
the  corruption  in  Tennessee's  state  govern- 
ment in  a  book  and  movie)  as  part  of  the 


Ideas  and  Issues  Series. 

On  the  sports  scene,  lUP's  women's  cross 
country  team  captured  the  PSAC  confer- 
ence meet,  the  NCAA  Northeast  Regional 
Title,  and  placed  third  in  the  NCAA  Division 
II  Championship  meet.  The  end  of  the  foot- 
ball season  was  not  as  bright,  after  capturing 
the  PSAC  West,  the  Big  Indians  fell  to 
Bloomsburg  31-9  in  the  state  Championship 
game. 

Nationally,  Americans  celebrated  Thanks- 
giving and  began  their  Christmas  shopping 
on  November  29  or  "Black  Friday"  as  many 
merchants  preferred  to  call  it. 

Internationally,  over  50  persons  died  as  a 
result  of  a  Palestinian  hijacking  of  an  Egyp- 
tian jetliner.  Egyptian  commandos  stormed 
the  plane  in  what  was  called  one  of  the 
bloodiest  conclusions  to  a  hijacking  in 
history.

Retrospect  & 


December 

December  saw  the  Fall  1986  semester 
come  to  a  close,  and  new  ideas  about  regis- 
tration for  classes  begin.  Telephone  registra- 
tion may  be  the  wave  of  the  future  for  lUP 
students,  by  using  touch-tone  telephones 
registration  may  take  place  in  the  comfort  of 
a  dorm  room  or  apartment.  The  plan  could 
be  implemented  before  1988. 

In  other  administrative  news,  the  lUP 
Council  of  Trustees  approved  an  increase  m 
the  cost  of  housing  for  on-campus  students 
for  the  1986-87  fiscal  year.  The  costs  will  rise 
from  $545  a  semester  for  a  double  to  $582, 
and  $818  to  $875  for  a  smgle. 

In  area  news  during  December,  the  sale  of 
the  Pittsburgh  Pirates  to  a  group  of  local 
Pittsburgh  businesses  for  $22  million  was 
unanimously  accepted  by  the  major  league 
baseball  owners. 

In  Indiana,  police  and  fire  departments 
investigated  several  car  torching  incidents  in 
the  borough.  Numerous  cars  were  damaged 
throughout  the  month,  including  the  com- 
plete destruction  of  an  lUP  student's  car  in 
the  parking  lot  of  Lenninger  Hall. 

On  a  more  positive  note,  Christmas  is  the 
biggest  event  of  December,  if  not  the  whole 
year.  Traditions  continued  everywhere  in- 
cluding at  lUP  when  members  of  the  lUP 
and  Indiana  communities  gathered  in  front 
of  John  Sutton  Hall  on  December  5  for  the 
Annual  Tree  Lighting  Ceremony.  Carols 
were  sung,  and  hot  chocolate,  wassail  and 
donuts  were  served  in  the  Blue  Room  after 
the  ceremony. 

Also  in  the  holiday  spirit,  students  at  lUP

held  a  candlelight  vigil  on  December  10  m

The  event  which  began  in  the  middle  of  the 
Oak  Grove  was  sponsored  by  CAS,  Students 
For  a  Better  World  and  Amnesty 
International. 

On  the  national  and  international  scene, 
tragedy  struck  on  December  1 2  when  a  DC- 
8  airliner  crashed  over  Newfoundland.  The 
plane  was  carrying  American  soldiers  who 
were  going  home  for  Christmas.  248  soldiers 
were  killed. 

Two   days   after   Christmas,    terrorists 

opened  fire  on  airports  m  Rome  and  Vienna 

killing  18  people,  including  two  Americans.

January 


While  lUP  students  spent  hall  ol  Janudry 
on  break,  the  news  throughout  the  state  and 
nation  never  stopped. 

January  1  saw  the  traditional  resolutions, 
bowl  games  and  hangovers.  A  game  of  par 
ticular  interest  to  many  Pennsylvanians  was 
the  Orange  Bowl  as  Penn  State  met  the 
Oklahoma  Sooners.  The  "meeting"  was  not 
the  best  for  the  Nittany  Lions  as  they  lost  25- 
10. 

Another  cause  of  unhappiness  for  some 
Pennsylvanians  in  January  was  the  Liquor 
Control  Board's  latest  curbs  on  Happy 
Hours.  The  new  laws  said  that  Happy  Hours 
can  last  no  more  than  two  hours  and  must 
come  to  a  close  by  midnite.  The  new  legisla- 
tion also  abolished  "two  for  one  drinks  "  and 
"beat  the  clock"  specials. 

The  Kodak  Corporation  was  reprimanded 
on  the  national  level  as  a  federal  court  ruling 
upheld  the  earlier  decision  that  Kodak  stole 
trade  secrets  from  Polaroid  when  they  devel- 
oped their  instamatic  camera.  The  court 
called  for  a  recall  of  the  cameras  and  proper 
refunds  to  consumers. 

A  new  federal  holiday  was  celebrated  for 


the  first  time  this  year — The  Reverend  Martin 
Luther  King  Jr.'s  birthday  was  recognized  as 
a  holiday  on  Monday,  January  20. 

Upon  returning  to  lUP  on  January  13,  stu- 
dents found  some  changes  had  occurred. 
Four  of  lUP's  colleges  held  arena  drop/add. 
George  Chaump  left  his  head  football 
coaching  position  and  was  replaced  by 
Frank  Cignetti,  lUP's  athletic  director.  Sally 
B.  Johnson  Hall  was  opened  for  its  first 
classes. 


Depending  on  who  they  were  rooting  for, 
some  lUP  football  fans  enjoyed  the  Super 
Bowl,  as  the  Chicago  Bears  fxjunded  the 
New  England  Patriots  46-10. 

January  ended  on  a  sad  note  as  the  space 
shuttle  Challenger  exploded  approximately 
60  seconds  after  liftoff.  The  $1.2  billion 
spacecraft  was  destroyed  and  all  seven  crew 
members  were  killed.  They  were  Christa 
McAuliffe,  Francis  Scobee,  Michael  Smith, 
Judith  Resnick,  Ronald  McNair,  Ellison  Oni- 
zuka,  and  Gregory  Jarvis.

February 


February  started  out  with  an  unusual  pre- 
diction from  Punxsutawney  Phil,  the  famed 
groundhog,  he  did  not  see  his  shadow.  This 
meant  an  early  spring,  a  prediction  he  has 
given  only  seven  times  in  99  years. 

On  February  4,  Governor  Thornburgh  an- 
nounced his  budget  proposal  for  the  1 986-87 
fiscal  year.  Major  concerns  arose  from  insti- 
tutions m  the  State  System  of  Higher  Educa- 
tion, of  which  lUP  is  a  part,  because  the 
proposal  gave  the  program  a  3%  increase — 
far  short  of  the  9.9%  SSHE  requested. 

On  February  12  and  13,  the  Indiana 
Chapter  of  the  Red  Cross  held  a  two-day 
blood  drive  at  lUP  for  the  first  time  in  20 
years.  Organizations  were  encouraged  to 
participate  and  four  trophies  were  awarded 
in  four  different  categories. 

Other  lUP  February  happenings  included 


Jennifer  Bradley  being  crowned  as  Miss  lUP; 
Theatre-By-The-Grove's  production  of  "The 
bining  Room;"  a  lecture  in  Fisher  Auditori- 
um by  Atlanta  Mayor  Andrew  Young;  and 
the  beginning  of  the  Student  Cooperative 
Associations  budget  hearings. 

In  national  news,  Tylenol  capsules  were 
once  again  the  target  of  cyanide  poisoning; 
this  time  in  Yonkers,  N.Y.  As  a  result  Johnson 
&  Johnson  decided  to  discontinue  the  cap- 
sules and  instead  produce  "caplet"  pills  of 
the  medication. 

In  the  entertainment  world,  British  pop  star 
Phil  Collins  captured  the  Grammy  for  album 
of  the  year  with  his  "No  Jacket  Required" 
release.  Collins  was  also  named  pop  male 
artist  while  "We  Are  the  World"  won  the 
Grammy  for  song  of  the  year.

March 


March  was  a  month  of  celebrations,  dedi- 
cations, and  most  importantly  spring  break 
(March  8-16)  at  lUP. 

Junior  Nancy  Knox  had  reason  to  cele- 
brate following  the  SAMS  (Students  Against 
Multiple  Sclerosis)  lip  synch  contest.  Knox, 
sponsored  by  Kappa  Delta,  won  the  competi- 
tion by  earning  enough  votes  with  her  Ma- 
donna "Dress  You  Up"  lip  synch  perfor- 
mance. All  proceeds  went  to  Multiple 
Sclerosis  (MS). 

The  lUP  gymnasts  celebrated  capturing 
the  PSAC  title  for  the  third  straight  year. 
They  then  went  on  to  win  the  NCAA  Division 
II  Southeast  Regional  meet  held  at  lUP  on 
March  22. 

The  $1.9  million  Sally  B.  Johnson  Hall  was 
dedicated  on  March  21.  Philadelphia  Com- 
mon Pleas  Court  Judge  Joseph  C.  Bruno  was 
the  key-note  speaker  at  the  event.  Dr.  James 
H.  McCormick,  Chancellor  of  the  State  Sys- 
tem of  Higher  Education,  was  also  at  the 
ceremonies. 

Steady  Mick's,  lUP's  non-alcoholic  night- 
club, celebrated  it's  first  anniversary  on 
March  22.  The  band  Nick  Danger,  provided 
the  entertainment  and  free  refreshments 
were  served. 

lUP  paid  tribute  to  15  dedicated  All- Amer- 
ican athletes  on  March  24  at  a  din- 
ner/awards ceremony  in  the  Blue  Room.  Six 
teams  were  represented  and  Bill  Otto,  the 
"Voice  of  the  Big  Indians",  served  as  master 
of  ceremonies. 

In  the  national/international  scene-U.S. 
forces  retaliated  against  Libya  following  Lib- 
ya's firing  on  U.S.  war  planes  over  the  Gulf 
of  Sidra  in  late  March.  The  U.S.S.R.  con- 
demned these  actions.

April 


lUP  was  a  busy  place  newswise  in  April. 
Beginning  on  April  1 ,  Dr.  Hilda  Richards 
was  named  as  lUP's  new  Provost  and  Vice 
President  of  Academic  Affairs.  She  was 
the  Dean  of  Health  and  Human  Services 
at  Ohio  University  prior  to  this 
appointment. 

K.  Leroy  Irvis,  Speaker  of  the  State 
House  of  Representatives,  spoke  at  lUP  on 
April  2.  The  message  he  delivered  was 
that  the  state  should  invest  in  the  future  by 
helping  students  get  college  educations 
with  more  grant  and  scholarship  monies. 
Also  speaking  at  lUP  during  April  were 
author  Tom  Wolfe,  Ambassador  L.  Bruce 
Laingen  and  State  Department  offical 
Edward  Marks. 

The  controversy  over  the  Co-Op 
Board's  budget  cuts  continued  thru 
April.   One  of  the  most  debated  1^ 

cuts  was  that  of  the  Visitors  to  the 
Aged  (VTA)  program.   VTA's 
appeal  was  turned  down  and 
a  $1,000  request  became 
only  a  $200  action. 

Another  controversal 
issue  was  the  admin- 
istration's   decision 
to  discontinue  the 
wrestling    pro- 
gram        for 
three  years 
in   order 
to  review  it. 


was  estimated  that  100  people  were  killed 
in  the  raid  on  Tripoli  on  April  15. 

Also  in  the  month  of  April  was  the  ap- 


parent meltdown  of  the  Chernobyl  reac- 
tor in  the  U.S.S.R.,  approximately  100 
miles  north  of  Kiev.  Definite  details  about 
the  accident  were  sketchy  and  many  U.S. 
citizens  were  concerned  for  friends  and 
relatives  living  in  or  nearby  the  U.S.S.R. 
Indiana  experienced  a  destructive  fire 
on  April  23  on  North  Sixth  Street.  No  one 
was  injured  but  the  early  morning 
fire  caused  $1  million  damage 
and  left  27  people  home- 
including  over  20 
lUP  students.

cademics.  They're  the  reason  a  student 
comes  to  lUP.  They  cause  happiness,  like  an  A  on  an 
English  101  paper.  They  can  cause  sadness,  such  as 
the  day  after  an   "all  nighter." 

lUP  has  a  selection  of  over  100  majors  within  40 
departments  and  is  the  largest  university  in  Penn-

PRESIDENT  WELTY 


Not  everyone  at  lUP  knows 
what  he  looks  like  but  when 
they  hear  the  name  Dr.  John  D. 
Welty,  they  know  he's  the 
president  of  lUP. 

Welty,  who  received  his 
doctorate  from  "the  other  Indi- 
ana" in  administration  of 
higher  education,  first  came  to 
lUP  in  July  1980  and  was  vice 
president  of  student  affairs.  In 
March  1983  he  became  vice 
president  of  student  and  uni- 
versity affairs  and  during  July 
1984  he  was  named  interim 
president  of  lUP,  a  position  left 
vacant  by  Dr.  John  E. 
Worthen.  In  November  1985 
Welty 's  investiture  convoca- 
tion took  place  and  he  official- 
ly became  president  of  lUP. 

A  typical  day  as  president  of 
lUP,  as  described  by  Welty, 
consists  of  a  6  a.m.  jog  around 
campus,  going  to  his  office  by 
7  a.m.;  by  8:30  a.m.  he  is  either 
seeing  people  by  appointment 
or  attending  meetings  until  5 
or  5:30  (plus  a  lunch  break). 


In  the  evenings,  Welty  fre- 
quently attends  university  or 
community  functions,  and  by 
late  evening  Welty  finally  gets 
a  chance  to  look  at  his  mail. 

Welty  said  he  enjoys  work- 
ing with  the  people  in  the  uni- 
versity community,  citing  this 
as  the  most  favorable  part  of 
his  job. 

In  the  opposite  direction  (or 
what  he  dislikes  most  about  his 
job),  Welty  said,  "The  greatest 
frustration  is  not  being  able  to 
provide  immediate  resources 
for  some  excellent  programs." 

If  there  was  one  piece  of  ad- 
vice Welty  would  give  the  stu- 
dents at  lUP,  it  is  "to  take  ad- 
vantage of  all  the  facilities, 
resources  and  people  that  are 
there  while  they  have  the  op- 
portunity to  be  a  student.  You 
can't  tell  anyone  while  they're 
in  school;  but  the  college  years 
are  some  of  the  best  in  your  life . 
and  you  should  get  involved."

lUP's  College  of  Business  is 
comprised  of  4000  students,  72 
faculty  members,  and  four  de- 
partments—  Accounting,  Ad- 
ministrative Services  and  Busi- 
ness Education,  Finance  and 
Management  Information  Sys- 
tems, and  Management  and 
Marketing. 

Dean  Cyrus  A.  Aitimus  is 
proud  of  his  college. 

"We've  got  a  great  operation, 
and  I'm  proud  of  it,"  he  said. 

"Our  faculty  and  our  students 
are  what  I'm  most  proud  of,"  he 
continued.  "I  believe  we  have 
an  outstanding  student  body 
which  is  succesful  not  only  with- 
in the  university,  but  also  out- 
side in  the  work  force." 

The  Accounting  department 


provides  a  strong  professional 
background  in  the  theory  and 
practice  of  financial  accounting, 
cost  accounting,  taxes,  and  au- 
diting. It  fulfills  the  re- 
irements  for  the  student  to  sit  for 
the  CPA  examination  and  satis- 
fies the  education  requirement 
for  Certified  Public  Ac- 
countant. 

The  Administrative  Services 
and  Business  Education  depart- 
ment prepares  teachers  to  in- 
struct in  junior/senior  high 
school.  Students  choose  from 
the  following  areas  of  teacher 
certification:  accounting,  data 
processing,  marketing,  secre- 
tarial and  distributive  education. 
These  areas  all  include  certifica- 
tion in  typewriting. 


The  Finance  and  Manage- 
ment Information  Systems  de- 
partment includes  education  of 
financial  instruments,  such  as 
stocks  and  bonds,  and  financial 
practices  that  lead  to  sound 
management.  It  also  includes  in- 
struction in  business  computer 
utilization  and  in  design  and  im- 
plementation of  business  sys- 
tems. lUP  was  among  the  first 
institutions  of  higher  learning  in 
the  nation  to  provide  a  major 
that  emphasizes  computer  appli- 
cations for  business  within  the 
standard  business  program 
curriculum. 

The  Management  and  Mar- 
keting department  concentrates 
on  marketing,  general  manage- 
ment, human  resource  manage- 


ment, and  claims  management. 
The  Department  provides  the 
opportunity  for  non-majors  to 
develop  a  minor  in  these  areas. 

The  college  also  provides  the 
opportunity  for  internships, 
graduate  program  degrees,  stu- 
dent exchanges,  and  a  pre-law 
minor,  which  is  intended  for  the 
business  major  interested  in  law 
as  a  career. 

All  in  all,  the  college  provides 
service  course  to  broaden  the 
educational  horizons  of  all  lUP 
students. 

Dean  Aitimus  said  it  best 
when  he  said,  "We  have  an  im- 
age for  excellence  here."

COLLEGE  OF  EDUCATION 


The  College  of  Education  is 
comprised  of  six  departments 
which  include  approximately 
1 ,692  undergraduates  and  234 
graduates.  The  departments 
are:  communications  media, 
counselor  education,  educa- 
tion psychology,  professional 
studies  in  education,  second- 
ary education  and  special  edu- 
cation. Also  included  in  the 
College  of  Education  are  voca- 
tional education  and  the  Uni- 
versity School,  which  is  locat- 
ed in  Davis  Hall. 

According  to  Dr.  John  But- 
zow.  Assistant  Dean,  the  col- 
lege has  encountered  several 
changes  during  the  year,  one 
of  which  was  the  departments 
re-accreditation  for  another 
seven  years.  Also,  the  College 
of  Education  in  conjunction 
with  the  College  of  Natural 
Sciences  received  a  $300,000 
grant  from  the  National  Sci- 
ence Foundation  which  will  be 
used  to  teach  high  school 
teachers  how  to  more  fully  uti- 
lize computers  in  teaching 
math  and  science  in  the  class- 
room. This  program  will  run  in 
the  summers  of  1986  and  1987. 

The  college  also  has  re- 
ceived a  grant  from  President 
Welty's  office  to  study  the 
assessment   of   students   in 


training. 

They  have  also  upgraded 
the  quality  of  the  computer 
equipment  in  the  Davis  Hall 
laboratory,  adding  50  new  Ap- 
ple computers  and  extending 
service  hours. 

During  the  past  year  the  Ele- 
mentary Education  depart- 
ment changed  its  name  to  Pro- 
fessional Studies  in  Education 
which,  according  to  Butzow, 
"indicates  a  broader  mission 
for  the  department." 

Butzow  said  one  of  the  short- 
term  objectives  of  the  depart- 
ment is  to  redesign  the  under- 
graduate program  for  the  State 
Department  of  Education  by 
June  1987.  The  changes  would 
"make  sure  we  (College  of 
Education)  implement  as  much 
of  the  recent  trends  (in  educa- 
tion) as  is  reasonable,"  Butzow 
said.  He  added  some  of  the 
courses  will  be  redesigned 
and  more  work  in  pre-student 
teaching  will  occur. 

The  other  short-term  goals 
include  working  with  faculty  to 
increase  and  improve  founda- 
tion research  and  develop- 
ment activities  and  further  de- 
velop the  micro-laboratory.

COLLEGE  OF  FINE  ARTS 


The  Fine  Arts  constantly  sur- 
round us  everywhere  we  go, 
yet  most  of  us  seem  to  take 
them  for  granted. 

The  College  of  Fine  Arts  at 
lUP  serves  to  increase  the 
awareness  of  the  fine  arts  at 
lUP  and  in  the  Indiana 
community. 

The  College  of  Fine  Arts  was 
established  in  1965  when  lUP 
became  a  university.  At  first 
the  college  was  comprised  of 
only  art  and  music  depart- 
ments, but  in  1976  theater  was 
moved  from  the  English  de- 
partment into  the  college. 

Dr.  J.  Christopher  Benz,  in 
his  eleventh  year  as  dean  of 
the  college,  is  only  the  second 
dean  in  the  college's  history. 


Likewise,  the  number  of  facul- 
ty and  students  is  about  the 
same  as  it  was  five  years  ago. 

"We're  amazmgly  static," 
said  Dean  Benz. 

Majors  in  the  College  of 
Fine  Arts  include  art  studio,  art 
of  music  history,  music  theory, 
art  or  music  education,  thea- 
ter,and  theater  or  music  per- 
formance. Also  offered  is  a 
unigue  general  fine  arts  major 
which  enables  students  to  take 
courses  in  art,  dance,  interior 
design,  media,  music  and  the- 
ater. At  least  three  areas  are 
included,  and  the  student  se- 
lects three  courses  to  be  taken. 

According  to  Dean  Benz, 
about  60  percent  of  the  art  ma- 
jors are  in  studio  and  40  per- 


cent are  in  education,  while  m 
music  it  is  the  exact  opposite. 
Some  students  also  go  on  to 
more  studies. 

"The  students  have  done 
very  well  in  terms  of  finding 
jobs,"  said  Benz.  Especially  in 
the  teaching  area,  he  said, 
since  the  need  for  teachers  will 
soon  be  going  up. 

Besides  providing  academic 
programs  for  majors  in  the  arts, 
the  College  of  Fine  Arts  offers 
service  courses  for  other  de- 
partmental majors  and  offers 
all  students  general  courses  in 
the  arts,  including  a  reguired 
introduction  to  art,  music  or 
theater  course. 

The  college  is  also  active  in 
providing  services  for  the  Indi- 


ana community.  Kipp  gallery 
and  the  University  museum 
are  open  to  the  public.  Also, 
every  summer  since  1973,  lUP 
sponsors  the  "Summer  Hap- 
pening" which  brings  high 
school  students  talented  in  the 
arts  to  lUP  for  special  courses. 

The  art  department  also 
sponsors  the  Indiana  Arts 
Council  which  helps  to  en- 
hance the  local  awareness  of 
the  performing  arts  by  bring- 
ing performers  to  lUP. 

"The  college  is  pretty  active 
in  the  community  and  for  the 
community,"  Benz  said.

STUDY  HABITS 


Study  habits  at  lUP.  Defi- 
nitely a  different  and  humor- 
ous subject.  Habits  range  from 
the  serious  to  the  light-hearted, 
the  obvious  to  the  weird  and 
the  ones  too  strange  to 
mention. 

For  example,  those  people 
who  lay  on  benches  in  the  Oak 
Grove,  with  their  Walkman 
cranked  up  to  nine  or  ten  on 
the  volume  and  their  books  on 
the  ground.  (You  have  to  do 
this  on  your  stomach — it's  the 
only  way  to  study!) 

The  typical  lUP  student 
studies  just  like  everyone 
else — whenever  there  is  noth- 
ing else  to  do.  The  "Bill  Cosby 
Show"  or  the  party  down  the 
hall  definitely  take  precedence 
over  anything  else,  especially 
something  as  boring  and  de- 
pressing as  studying. 

Eating  combined  with  study- 
ing is  a  very  common  (and 
very  fattening)  study  method. 
Somehow  that  Biology  book 
and  those  Oreo  cookies  just 
seem  to  go  together.  In  case 
you  get  the  munchies  on  the 
way  to  class,  you  always  have 
the  opportunity  to  stop  at  the 
Bagel  Wagon  for  a  guick  bite. 
Of  course,  you'll  only  get  a 
Coke.  Well,  maybe  a  donut .  .  . 
or  a  bagel  ...  or  a  candy  bar. 
But  for  some  of  us,  eating  and 
studying  seem  to  go  hand  in 
hand.  The  mixing  of  these  two 
"pleasures"  seems  to  occur 
most  in  one  particular  place — 
the  cafeteria.  Have  you  seen 
those  people  with  their  books

and  notes  spread  all  over  the 
table?  How  can  you  possibly 
study  while  absorbing  those 
"interesting"  aromas? 

Have  you  ever  wondered 
about  those  people  that  seem 
to  constantly  have  their  stereos 
blasting?  Somehow  I  find  it 
hard  to  believe  that  you  can 
study  Calculus  and  dance  to 
Bruce  Springsteen  at  the  same 
time.  When  you  finally  arrive 
to  take  your  test,  you  may  dis- 
cover that  you  only  know  half 
of  those  vocabulary  words,  but 
you've  learned  all  of  the  words 
to  the  top  three  songs  of  the 
week. 

Friends  are  wonderful  peo- 
ple, but  they  always  seem  to 
appear  at  the  most  inoppor- 
tune times.  No  sooner  have 
you  begun  to  study  than  forty 
people  knock  at  your  door. 
Someone  is  fighting  with  their 
roommate  and  needs  someone 
to  complain  to.  You  already 
know  they  were  fighting  be- 
cause you  are  able  to  hear  ev- 
erything they  do  through  the 
paper-thin  walls.  She  needs 
your  help — how  can  you  turn 
her  away?  Eventually  she 
leaves  and  you  head  back  to 
the  books.  Silence.  That  is,  un- 
til your  phone  rings.  It's  your 
best  friend  from  home.  Her 
boyfriend  just  dumped  her. 
She  spends  an  hour  sobbing 
into  your  ear.  You  are  finally 
able  to  quiet  her  down  and  she 
begins  to  apologize  for  mo- 
nopolizing your  time.  Resume 
studying.  The  charming  peo- 


^*  Mr 


\ 


pie  upstairs  have  decided  tliat 
it  is  time  for  them  to  give  a 
party.  Put  on  your  earmuffs, 
clench  your  fists,  scream,  set 
your  alarm  at  4  a.m.  and  go  to 
bed. 

Have  you  ever  taken  your 
studying  to  the  laundry  room? 
Actually  if  you  can  stand  the 
noise  of  the  washers  and  dry- 
ers, and  the  heat,  this  is  a  good 
place  to  study.  Not  many  peo- 
ple will  bother  you  unless  your 
washing  machine  begins  to 
overflow.  Clean  the  bubbles 
off  your  books,  mop  up  the 
mess  and  return  to  the  books. 

Many  people  find  the  bath- 
room a  very  relaxing  place  to 
work.  One  particular  place 
that  seems  to  be  very  popular 
is  —  yep,  you  guessed  it  —  the 
commode.  Here's  a  warning 
for  all  you  toilet  toilers:  pencils, 
pens,  and  ht-lighters  may  float, 
but  your  English  notes  will  not. 

If  all  else  fails  and  you  dis- 
cover to  your  dismay  that  your 
are  flunking  out,  you  could  go 
to  the  library.  Be  prepared  to 
spend  your  day  there  —  that  is 
about  how  long  it  will  take  you 
to  find  what  you're  looking  for. 
But  if  you  know  where  your 
material  is  located,  you're  in 
good  shape.  Try  not  to  make 
too  much  of  a  commotion 
when  you  unzip  your  back- 
pack and  feast  on  the  silence. 

Let  us  now  discuss  another 
type  of  lUP  student  known  as 
"Mr.  Study"  or  the  4.0  student. 
He  is  easy  to  distinguish — he 
looks  very  malnourished   be- 


( dusfc!  ealiny  takes  too  much 
time  out  of  his  schedule.  When 
he  runs  into  you  in  the  hallway 
(this  happens  often  because 
his  head  is  always  down  read- 
ing a  book),  he  will  immediate- 
ly begin  to  discuss  nuclear 
physics  with  you.  If  you're 
lucky,  he  may  even  grace  you 
with  the  results  of  his  last  exam, 
a  perfect  score,  of  course.  This 
wonderful  student  only  leaves 
his  room  on  two  occasions:  to 
go  to  the  library  and  to  go  to 
class.  He  is  easy  to  spot  in  a 
crowd:  he's  the  one  with  the 
calculator  and  fifteen  pens 
sticking  out  of  the  front  pocket 
of  his  wrinkled  Oxford  shirt.  In 
case  you  are  wondering,  the 
4.0  student  dreams  only  in 
shades  of  hi-lighter. 

At  the  opposite  end  of  the 
lUP  spectrum,  we  have  who  is 
commonly  called  the  "Party 
Animal."  This  student's  favor- 
ite way  to  study,  you  ask?  On 
the  way  to  class.  You'll  run  into 
this  guy  too,  but  his  reason  is 
that  he  is  too  hungover  to  look 
up.  He  often  wonders  why  pro- 
fessors schedule  tests  on  the 
nights  after  frat  parties.  Doesn't 
it  make  you  angry  when  this 
fellow  does  better  on  the  exam 
than  you?  Doesn't  seem  fair. 

Study  habits  at  lUP  are  as 
diverse  as  the  people.  Every- 
one has  their  own  favorite 
place  and  method,  whether  it 
be  sitting  at  a  desk  or  laying  on 
the  floor,  hi-lighting  or  typing 
notes,  eating  a  Ho-Ho  or  drink- 
ing a  beer.  Good  luck — with 
study  habits  like  yours,  you'll 
need  it!

COLLEGE  OF  HEALTH  SCIENCES 


The  College  of  Health  Sci- 
ences at  lUP  contains  over 
1200  students  and  70  faculty 
members  in  its  four  depart- 
ments: Allied  Health,  Health 
and  Physical  Education,  Nurs- 
ing, and  Safety  Sciences.  All 
programs  are  accredited  and 
provide  theoretical,  laborato- 
ry, and  "hands-on"  ex- 
perience. 

The  Allied  Health  depart- 
ment includes  Medical  Tech- 
nology and  Respiratory  Thera- 
py. Medical  technology  majors 
at  lUP  study  here  for  three 
years  then  do  a  clerical  study 
for  a  year  at  a  nationally  ac- 
credited hospital,  where  they 
work  with  modern  equipment 
and  the  latest  in  technology. 

The  Respiratory  Therapy 
program  is  associated  with 
Western  Pennsylvania  Hospi- 
tals to  provide  a  program 
which  leads  to  a  bachelor  of 
science  degree.  Two  years  are 
spent  at  lUP,  and  if  a  student's 
grade  point  average  is  2.25  or 
better,  he  completes  his  last 
two  years  at  West  Penn  School 
of  Respiratory  Therapy.  Only 
25  students  are  admitted  to  the 
school  each  year.  All  lUP  Res- 
piratory Therapy  graduates 
who  have  sought  full  time  em- 
ployment have  been  hired. 

The  Health  and  Physical 
Education  department  at  lUP 
offers  two  degrees,  a  bachelor 
of  science  degree  in  education 
with  a  comprehensive  major  in 
health  and  physical  education, 
and  a  bachelor  of  science  de- 
gree in  physical  education  and 
sport.  Those  with  degrees  in 
physical  education  can  get 
into  such  fields  as  leisure 
sports,  recreation  organiza- 
tions, fund-raising  and  public 
relations,  and  sports  facility 
management.  The  department 
has  developed  two  nationally 
approved  programs  that  pre- 
pare  students   to   become 


YMCA  aquatic  directors  and 
physical  directors. 

lUP's  Safety  Sciences  pro- 
gram has  the  only  accredited 
undergraduate  program  in  the 
nation  and  its  graduate  pro- 
gram is  the  only  one  of  its  type 
in  the  U.S.  More  than  80  per- 
cent of  lUP  safety  grads  are 
employed  as  safety  profession- 
als. All  lUP  safety  majors  are 
required  to  take  an  internship 
and  some  majors  have  in- 
terned at  such  major  compa- 
nies as  Alcoa,  IBM,  Westing- 
house  and  Chevron.  Paid 
co-op  positions  are  also  avail- 
able to  lUP  safety  majors. 

Upon  graduation  from  the 
nursing  department  at  lUP, 
students  are  qualified  to  take 
the  Pennsylvania  Nurse  Licen- 
sure Examination.  Nursing  ma- 
jors complete  three  semesters 
of  general  education  and  pre- 
requisites in  natural  sciences, 
then  begin  to  concentrate  on 
the  theory  of  nursing.  Junior 
and  senior  nurses  practice  in 
clinical  agencies  in  the  coun- 
ties surrounding  lUP. 

Both  the  nursing  depart- 
ment and  the  safety  sciences 
department  moved  into  the 
new  Sally  B.  Johnson  Hall  in 
the  first  part  of  1986.  The 
building  contains  specialized 
labs  for  both  departments, 
classrooms,  departmental  li- 
braries, and  faculty  offices. 

Dr.  Harold  E.  Wingard,  in- 
terim dean  of  the  college  for 
the  past  two  years,  is  very 
proud  of  the  college,  its  stu- 
dents and  faculty. 

"We  have  a  dedicated  facul- 
ty," he  said.  "They're  willing  to 
spend  whatever  time  it  takes 
for  the  student  to  attain  the 
competence  level  needed.  I'm 
really  pleased  with  the  success 
of  this  college."

COLLEGE  OF  HUMAN  ECOLOGY 


The  College  of  Human  Ecol- 
ogy is  not  a  new  college  at 
lUP.  If  the  name  does  not 
sound  familiar,  it's  because  the 
name  is  new. 

"The  name  was  changed  in 
order  to  get  away  from  the  old 
connotation  of  keeping  the 
woman  in  the  house,"  Dr.  Har- 
old Wingard,  Interim  Dean  of 
the  College  of  Human  Ecology 
said. 

The  College  is  not  only  in- 
volved with  things  within  the 
home.  Food  Service  and 
Lodging,  which  includes  the 
study  of  hotel  management, 
has  been  added  to  the  curricu- 
lum this  year.  And  if  approved 
by  the  state,  it  will  be  a  new 


program  in  the  Department  of 
Food  and  Nutrition. 

The  two  other  departments 
in  the  College  are  the  Depart- 
ment of  Consumer  Services 
and  the  Department  of  Home 
Economics  Education. 

There  are  760  students  en- 
rolled in  the  College  of  Human 
Ecology  and  28  faculty 
members. 

"I  am  proud  of  the  faculty  in 
the  way  they  relate  to  stu- 
dents," Wingard  said.  'T  feel 
we  have  a  dedicated  group  of 
{people  that  have  a  true  interest 
in  the  students." 

He  said  he  is  also  proud  of 
the  students  in  the  college.

wood  cafeteria,  located  in  the 
basement  of  Ackerman,  which 
serves  the  lUP  faculty  as  well 
as  the  Indiana  community 
daily. 

"I  am  proud  of  the  profes- 
sionalism the  students  show  in 
their  work  in  the  cafeteria," 
Wingard  said. 

Students  also  work  in  the 
child  development  center  in 
Ackerman.  There  are  plans  to 
move  the  center  to  Eicher.  This 
will  provide  a  larger  area 
which  will  accomodate  more 
students.

lUP's  College  of  Humanities 
and  Social  Sciences  offers  a 
variety  of  majors  and  a  wide 
range  of  classes  that  make  up 
most  of  the  general  require- 
ments of  lUP  students. 

According  to  Dr.  Oliver  I. 
Ford,  III,  dean  of  the  college, 
this  school  affects  the  overall 
university  program  because  it 
has  the  "single  biggest  in- 
volvement in  general  edu- 
cation." 

This  school  contains  such 
departments  as  Criminology, 
History,  Foreign  Languages, 
Political  Science,  Philosophy, 
Geography  and  Regional 
Planning,  Labor  Relations,  Lin- 
guistics, and  Sociology/Anth- 
ropology. Many  of  these  de- 
partments have  plans  to 
change  in  the  future. 

For  example,  Ford  said  that 
the  Sociology/ Anthropology 
department  nov/  has  applied 
human  services  with  a  concen- 
tration in  socially  significant 
cases  like  child,  spouse  and 
substance  abuse.  The  Geogra- 
phy and  Regional  Planning 
department  "acquired  com- 
puter mapping  equipment  that 
brought  (the  department)  pret- 
ty close  to  state  of  the  art  com- 
puter assisted  mapping,"  ac- 
cording to  Ford. 


He  said  that  International 
Studies  have  expanded  the 
summer  study  abroad  pro- 
gram in  foreign  languages  and 
other  disciplines,  like  clothing 
design.  Students  are  now  able 
to  study  abroad  in  France,  Ita- 
ly, England,  Ireland,  Mexico, 
and  China. 

During  the  school  year,  stu- 
dents can  study  in  Germany, 
France,  Spain  and  England. 
Some  students  can  even 
choose  to  do  their  student 
teaching  abroad,  but  they  still 
must  do  half  of  it  in  the  United 
States  to  be  certified. 

Ford  also  said  that  the  En- 
glish department  has  a  task 
force  on  writing  that  has  been 
studying  for  over  a  year  the 
need  for  writing  in  other  discli- 
pines,  like  Safety  Sciences.  He 
added  that  this  will  "probably 
have  a  very  dramatic  effect  on 
the  amount  of  writing  in  other 
major  classes." 

There  are  also  a  number  of 
other  changes  going  on  in  the 
College  of  Humanities  and  So- 
cial Sciences  that  are  expand- 
ing the  educational  capabili- 
ties and  allowing  students  to 
prepare  for  a  better  future.

COLLEGE  OF  NATURAL  SCIENCES  AND  MATHE 


As  we  enter  the  21st  centu- 
ry, technology  as  well  as  sci- 
ence will  be  a  part  of  our  daily 
lives.  The  College  of  Natural 
Sciences  and  Mathematics  ac- 
quaints students  with  scientific 
methods  of  advanced  technol- 
ogy. The  college  familiarizes 
the  students  with  solving  prob- 
lems through  the  use  of  sci- 
ence, introduces  different  sci- 
entific techniques,  gives  a 
sense  of  perspective  in  the  de- 
veloping of  science,  and  de- 
velops an  insight  to  the  basic 
community  of  its  scientific 
rules  and  regulations. 

There  are  seven  depart- 
ments which  comprise  the  Col- 
lege of  Natural  Sciences  and 
Mathematics — Biology,  Chem- 
istry, Computer  Science,  Geo- 
science,  Mathematics,  Natural 
Sciences,  Physics,  and  Psy- 
chology. Depending  on  the 
program  in  the  departments, 
students  may  earn  a  degree  in 
the  bachelor  of  arts,  bachelor 
of  science,  or  bachelor  of  sci- 


ence in  education. 

In  addition  to  the  regular 
curriculum,  the  college  has  es- 
tablished cooperative  agree- 
ments with  many  outstanding 
institutions  to  provide  signifi- 
cant career  opportunities  to 
the  students.  These  coopera- 
tive programs  include  working 
with  other  colleges  such  as  Jef- 
ferson Medical  College, 
Drexel  University,  University 
of  Pittsburgh,  and  the  Marine 
Science  Consortium.  This  type 
of  education  enables  the  stu- 
dent to  gain  first-hand  experi- 
ence in  his  or  her  future  occu- 
pation. The  cooperative 
programs  are  intended  to  as- 
sure acceptance  of  qualified 
students  by  the  cooperating 
professional  schools. 

"I  feel  that  the  Cdlege  of 
Natural  Sciences  and  Mathe- 
matics is  very  competitive  and 
compares  favorably  with  the 
other  colleges  in  the  country," 
said  Dr.  Charles  Fuget,  dean 
of  the  college.  Fuget  also  said 


that  there  are  new  science 
courses  offered  this  year  that 
enhance  several  areas  of  the 
biology  curriculum. 

The  College  of  Natural  Sci- 
ences and  Mathematics  is  very 
prominent  on  the  lUP  campus. 
The  number  of  full  and  part- 
time  students  enrolled  in  the 
college  is  approximately  1 ,774 
for  the  Fall/Spring  semesters. 
The  largest  departments  (con- 
taining the  most  students)  in 
the  college  are  Computer  Sci- 
ence, Biology  and  Psychology. 

The  College  hopes  to  pro- 
vide the  lecture  and  laboratory 
experiences  necessary  for  the 
general  education  require- 
ments, the  background  and 
training  needed  for  the  stu- 
dent who  majors  within  the 
seven  various  departments, 
and  advanced  training  and 
support  fot  students  to  pursue 
professional  and/or  graduate 
degrees.

MILITARY  SCIENCE 


If  you  ever  wondered 
why  the  lUP  campus  turns 
into  a  sea  oi  green  on 
Thursdays,  the  answer  can 
be  found  in  the  Military  Sci- 
ence department. 

lUP  is  an  authorized  se- 
nior Reserve  Officer's 
Training  Corps  (ROTC). 
ROTC  can  be  taken  for  two 
semesters  to  satisfy  the 
Health  and  Phys.  Ed.  re- 
quirements or  can  become 
a  commission  as  a  second 
lieutenant  in  the  U.  S.  Army 
to  those  who  complete  the 
total  program.  Upon  gradu- 
ation, students  then  serve 
either  three  years  continu- 
ous active  duty  or  three 
months  active  duty  for  train- 
ing with  the  remaining  obli- 
gation served  in  the  Army 
Reserve  or  National  Guard. 

lUP  has  established  one 
of  the  best  ROTC  programs 
in  the  state  and  has  won  nu- 
merous awards.  In  April, 
the  ROTC  department  was 
selected  as  the  winner  of 
the  Order  of  Founders  and 
Patriots  of  America  award. 
lUP  was  chosen  over  more 
than  1 10  other  Army  ROTC 
detachments  in  the  eastern 
United  States  for  the  award. 

Also,  for  the  second  year 
in  a  row,  lUP's  ROTC  pro- 
gram was  awarded  the 
Governor's  trophy  as  the 
best  ROTC  program  in 
Pennsylvania  by  Governor 
Dick  Thornburgh. 

The  program  offers  train- 
ing in  skills  such  as  scuba 
diving,  repelling,  marks- 
manship, orienteering,  first 
aid  techniques  and  water 
safety,  besides  teaching 
leadership  and  managerial 
techniques  that  will  be  use- 
ful in  any  future  job.

division. 


lUP's  School  of  Continuing 
Education  consists  of  over 
15,600  students  and  a  variety 
of  programs  including  busi- 
ness administration,  driver 
education  and  emergency 
medical  service.  Dr.  Nicholas 
E.  Kolb,  dean  of  the  depart- 
ment, says  the  college  plays  a 
public  service  role  by  drav/ing 
on  the  resources  of  the  univer- 
sity and  responding  to  the 
changing  cultural  and  profes- 
sional needs  of  the  community. 

"We  see  our  role  as  being 
sensitive  to  change.  We  are 
the  vehicle  of  the  university  to 
extend  service  to  the  commu- 
nity," Kolb  said.  He  explains 
this  is  done  through  the  col- 
lege's four  course  program. 

The  Division  of  Conferences 
and  Non-Credit  Programs  ser- 
vices people  mainly  interested 
in  upgrading  their  skills  for  ca- 
reer purposes.  The  typical  stu- 
dent in  this  program  is  a  v*rom- 
an  in  her  30s  who  is 
re-entering  the  job  market  af- 
ter raising  a  family  or  merely 
taking  a  course  for  self-enrich- 
ment and  enjoyment.  High 
school  students  and  organiza- 
tions are  also  frequenters  of 
this  program.  Religious 
groups,  the  Future  Farmers  of 
America,  and  band  directors 
often  choose  lUP's  facilities  to 
house  their  conferences  and 
camps.  This  division  has  a 
wide  variety  of  courses  includ- 
ed in  its  curriculm.  Among 
them  are  study  tours,  a  com- 
puter literacy  series,  a  man- 


agement development  series, 
and  real  estate  studies  and 
CPA  workshops,  in  addition  to 
to  health  and  human  services 
workshops. 

The  Division  of  Credit  Pro- 
grams attracts  mainly  younger 
students  who  want  to  enhance 
their  careers  with  supplemen- 
tal part-time  (usually  evening) 
courses.  These  programs  are 
available  off -campus  in  various 
locations  throughout  Western 
and  Central  Pennsylvania. 

The  Criminal  Justice  Train- 
ing Center  offers  certified 
training  for  police  officers.  Le- 
thal Weapxins  Training  and  Al- 
cohol Highway  Safety  pro- 
grams are  available  in  this 
curriculum. 

The  Highway  Safety  Center 
is  primarily  state  grant-funded. 
Over  $1  million  is  invested  in 
training  programs  such  as 
adult  driver  education  and  the 
Youth  Traffic  Safety  Council. 
This  program  also  is  available 
at  off-campus  centers  through- 
out Western  and  Central 
Pennsylvania. 

As  if  these  programs  were 
not  enough,  Dean  Kolb  said 
there's  more  to  be  done,  and 
he  is  working  on  planning 
more  credit  programs  like 
courses  geared  toward  a  bach- 
elor of  general  studies  and 
television-assisted  courses 
available  through  the  Public - 
Broadcasting  Service.

hanging.  This  one  word  may  best  sunn  up 
sports  at  lUP.  Sonne  changes  were  favorable,  others 
were  not. 

The  coaching  staffs  at  lUP  saw  changes.  George 
Chaump,  (football),  Nancy Barthelemy  (women's  vol- 
leyball), Mary  Louise  Eltz  (women's  tennis),  Bill 
Blacksmith  (wrestling)  and  Robert  Raemore  (men  's 
track  and  field)  left  their  head  coaching  positions 
and  were  (or  will  be)  replaced  by  Frank  Cignetti,  Kim 
Johnson,  Jackie  Albenze,  Rick  DeLong  and  Jim 
Wooding,  respectively. 

Perhaps  the  most  controversial  change  in  the  var- 
sity athletic  program  at  lUP  was  the  decision  by  the 
administration  to  discontinue  the  wrestling  pro- 
gram in  order  to  review  it. 

However,  some  things  remained  the  same,  such  as 
the  nrinning  vrays  of  the  women's  cross  country, 
gymnastics  and  golf  teams.  Hopefully,  the  future 
will  hold  this  kind  of  success  for  all  of  lUP's  sports 
teams  as  they  strive  to  be  the  best  that  they  can  be.

SEASON  ENDS  AT  8-2- 1 

Team  Captures  PSAC  West 


1985  was  an  outstanding  year  for  lUP 
football  as  the  Big  Indians  captured  the 
PSAC  Western  Division  title  for  the  first 
time  since  1965. 

Finishing  the  season  with  a  record  of  8- 
2-1,  lUP  ranked  as  high  as  number  three 
in  the  NCAA  Division  11  football  poll. 

"I  enjoyed  the  year,  1  thought  the  team 
really  came  together,"  said  senior  corner- 
back  Kevin  McCorkle.  "I've  been  here 
four  years  and  I've  watched  the  team 
grow." 

The  Big  Indians  beat  every  team  in  the 
state's  Western  Conference  by  a  margin 
of  at  least  17  points,  including  shut-outs 
over  Shippensburg  (33-0)  and  California 
(28-0). 

The  team's  only  loss  during  the  regular 
season  came  against  Lehigh,  49-41.  Dur- 
ing this  contest  lUP  guarterback  Rich  In- 
gold  shattered  three  lUP  offensive  re- 
cords in  percentage  of  completed  passes 
and  total  yardage. 

The  Big  Indians'  other  loss  came  against 
Bloomsburg  in  the  PSAC  Championship 
game. 

"It  wasn't  our  day  against  Bloomsburg," 
said  Ingold.  "It  was  a  miserable  day  for 
me."  Ingold  suffered  a  broken  thumb  dur- 
ing the  31-9  loss. 

"We're  a  little  sad  about  the  loss  to 


Bloomsburg  but  it  was  a  good  season  and 
we  had  a  lot  of  good  games,"  said  head 
football  coach  George  Chaump. 

Chaump  commented  on  the  fact  that 
lUP  did  not  receive  an  NCAA  Division  II 
playoff  bid.  They  ended  the  season  as 
number  nine  in  the  rankings  and  the  top 
eight  teams  were  given  bids. 

"I  didn't  understand  the  NCAA  playoff 
picture,"  said  Chaump.  He  said  a  school 
which  was  ranked  16  prior  to  the  final  poll 
ended  up  in  the  top  eight,  and  lUP  was  in 
the  top  eight  for  the  majority  of  the  season. 

"We  probably  have  one  of  the  best  Di- 
vision 11  programs,"  Chaump  said.  "We 
have  a  solid  foundation.  We  have  enough 
underclassmen  to  propitiate  winning.  1 
think  we  are  over  the  hump,  since  1  came 
here  four  years  ago." 

Eleven  lUP  players  received  honors  fol- 
lowing the  season.  Ingold  was  named 
Pittsburgh  Post-Gazette's  Small  College 
Player  of  the  Year,  Pennsylvania  Confer- 
ence Western  Division  Player  of  the  Year 
and  the  East  Coast  Athletic  Conference 
Player  of  the  Year  for  NCAA  Division  II. 

Tackle  John  Palamara  and  linebacker 
Bob  Buriak  were  honored  by  the  Pitts- 
burgh Post-Gazette  as  first  team  choices 
and  second  team  picks  for  the  PSAC  West 
All-Stars. 


Offensive  tackle  Jim  Angelo  was  also  an 
ECAC  All-Star.  Wide  receiver  Tony 
Trave,  running  back  Pat  McCullough  and 
kicker  John  Sandstrom  were  named  to  the 
PSAC  West  second  team  offense. 

Collecting  defensive  honors  for  PSAC 
West  second  team  were  linebacker  Paul 
Thompson  and  cornerback  McCorkle. 

Chaump's  reign  as  head  coach  at  lUP 
ended  this  season.  He  resigned  to  accept 
a  new  position  as  head  football  coach  at 
Marshall  University.  lUP  Athletic  Director 
Frank  Cignetti  will  replace  Chaump  in  the 
1986  season. 

Cignetti  has  been  athletic  director  for 
lUP  during  the  past  four  years.  Cignetti 
was  formerly  coach  at  West  Virginia  Uni- 
versity from  1976-1979. 

Cignetti  will  have  49  returning  letter- 
men,  but  will  lose  six  starters  including 
Ingold,  Seidel,  and  McCorkle. 

According  to  Cignetti,  the  goals  for  the 
football  program  will  remain  the  same — 
to  develop  a  team  that  can  capture  the 
State  title  and  compete  for  the  NCAA  Di- 
vision II  title. 

Cignetti  who  has  been  away  from 
coaching  since  1979  said,  "I'm  excited 
about  getting  back  to  coaching."

FRUSTRATING  SEASON  ENDS 


Four  Players  Participate  In 
All-Star  Game 


Above:  The  1985  men's  soccer  team:  Row  1:  Ed  Gotta,  Rich  Betts,  Tom  Neslund,  Owen  Dougherty,  Mark  van  den  Boogaar,  Frank  Paz,  Dave  Marky,  Dan 
Gehers,  Dave  Hoover,  Jeff  Painter.  Row  2:  Coach  Vince  Celtnieks,  Todd  Bretz,  John  Sharkey,  Brad  Wilkes,  Tony  Snyder,  Jeff  Perkins,  Neil  Miller,  Todd 
Hammond,  Frank  McAneny,  Dan  McCarty,  Assistant  Coach  Ray  Kiddy.  .Poh' 3:  Andy  Cole,  Scott  Russell,  Pete  Fabrin,  Todd  Weaver,  Law/rence  Ament,  Marc 
Yeadon,  Rod  Necciai,  Dave  Stewart  and  Jack  Pacalo. 


A  lack  of  scoring  was  the  main  reason 
for  the  frustrating  season  the  lUP  soccer 
team  experienced  this  year,  according  to 
coach  Vince  Celtnieks. 

The  team  booted  its  way  to  a  6-8-3  re- 
cord, its  first  losing  season  in  eight  years. 
Celtnieks  thinks,  however,  that  if  the  team 
would  have  had  one  scorer  they  could 
have  won  at  least  six  more  games. 

Tom  Neslund,  a  mid-fielder,  was  the 
team's  high  scorer  with  five  goals.  "That 
goes  to  show  the  lack  of  scoring,"  said 
Celtnieks,  "Having  a  mid-fielder  as  high 
scorer  has  never  happened  before." 

The  team's  losing  record  may  not  be  an 
accurate  record  of  the  team's  perfor- 
mance, though.  "There  were  a  lot  of 
games  we  dominated  that  we  didn't  win," 
Celtnieks  said,  "We  missed  a  lot  of  goal 


chances."  He  felt  the  Indians  outplayed 
teams  like  St.  Vincent  and  Frostburg,  but 
still  came  up  on  the  losing  end  of  the 
score. 

Celtnieks  thinks  the  scoring  opportuni- 
ties were  missed  because  the  team  was  too 
concerned  with  playing  the  defense. 
"People  didn't  have  a  lot  of  poise  in  front 
of  the  goal,"  he  said.  "There  was  not 
enough  follow-up." 

But  at  times  everything  seemed  to  click 
for  the  team.  In  games  against  WVU  and 
Pitt,  Celtnieks  said  the  Big  Indians  played 
as  a  unit  and  gave  themselves  a  lot  of 
chances,  which  resulted  in  victories. 

Frank  Paz,  a  junior  from  Philadelphia, 
agrees  with  Celtnieks  in  his  view  of  the 
season.  "Overall  we  had  the  talent  on  the 
team,"  he  said,  "We  just  couldn't  get  ev- 


eryone to  blend  together."  Paz  consid- 
ered the  team's  winning  performance 
against  WVU  one  of  the  few  "bright 
spots"  of  the  season. 

Despite  the  team's  losing  season,  four 
players,  Paz,  Todd  Hammond,  Dave 
Marky  and  Neslund,  participated  in  the 
Western  Pennsylvania  Intercollegiate 
Soccer  Conference  All-Star  game. 

The  Big  Indians  will  be  losing  two  se- 
niors, Tom  Neslund  and  Mark  Van  den 
Boogaar,  but  Celtnieks  is  optimistic  for 
next  year's  team.  "If  we  can  get  a  scorer 
we're  going  to  be  strong.  Other  than  los- 
ing the  two  seniors  we're  going  to  be  pret- 
ty well  intact."

7  WINS  HIGHLIGHT  SEASON 


Teamwork  Helps  Players 


Above:  The  1985  women's  held  hockey  team:  Row  1:  Robin  Crawford,  Lynn  Christina,  Deneen  Ebling,  Kris  Feick,  Bobbi  Flaherty,  Karen  Jones,  Nancy

Vanderau,  Karen  Wolfe.  Becky  Hitz 


The  7-9  record  of  the  lUP  field  hockey 
team  was  technically  a  losing  season.  But 
to  Kofie  Montgomery,  the  field  hockey 
coach,  this  was  really  a  winning  season. 

"We  won  seven  games  which  no  lUP 
field  hockey  team  has  done,"  coach  Mont- 
gomery said  "We  also  scored  21  goals 
which  no  lUP  team  ever  did  before." 

In  addition  to  the  regular  season  the 
team  also  went  to  the  Sun  Fest  Tourna- 
ment in  Salisbury,  MD.  They  beat  Oenita 
college  who  they  lost  to  in  1984.  This  win 
gave  the  team  third  place  in  the  tourna- 
ment. This  was  the  first  trophy  an  lUP  field 
hockey  team  ever  received. 

Kofie  Montgomery  said  the  most  excit- 
ing game  was  with  Kent  State  in  which 
lUP  lost.  The  game  went  on  for  2  and  a 
half  hours.  After  lUP  suffered  the  injury  of 
a  key  player  the  game  ended  in  a  3-3  tie. 


After  double  overtime,  two  penalty 
strokes  and  one  sudden  death  stroke  the 
game  was  still  tied.  Then  in  the  second 
sudden  death  stroke  Kent  State  scored. 

The  reason  that  the  team  was  as  suc- 
cessful as  it  was  this  year  is  because  they 
had  few  outstanding  players.  Coach 
Montgomery  said,  "We  worked  together 
as  a  team  and  we  were  strong  as  a  whole. 
Our  bench  was  as  strong  as  our  players  on 
the  field." 

The  seniors  on  the  team  were  Lynn 
Christina,  Robin  Crawford,  Deneen 
Ebling,  Kris  Feick,  Roberta  Flaherty,  Ka- 
ren Jones  and  Nancy  Zygarowicz. 

Kris  Feick  said,  "Even  though  we  lost 
some  tough  games  no  one  gave  up.  Ev- 
eryone put  in  100  percent.  We  all  worked 
together  this  year  as  a  team."

COACH  CREDITED  FOR  SUCCESSFUL  SEASON 

Team  Wins  NCAA  Northeast 


Regional 

The  lUP  All-American  women's  cross 
country  team  iinished  first  in  the  northeast 
region  and  third  m  the  nation  with  an  84-9 
record  for  the  fall  1985  season. 

One  of  the  most  exciting  meets  of  the 
season  was  the  Paul  Short  Memorial  Con- 
test at  Lehigh  University  in  which  lUP  fin- 
ished third.  "We  beat  some  really  good 
Division  I  teams  like  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  Cornell,  Rutgers  and 
Princeton,"  said  coach  Ed  Fry. 

Winning  the  NCAA  Northeast  Regional 
meet  was  another  exciting  event  in  the 
1985  season  according  to  Fry.  "This  is  the 


first  any  lUP  women's  cross  country  team 
ever  won  the  northeast,"  he  said. 

"I  am  also  very  proud  of  the  fact  that  we 
had  the  lowest  point  total  ever  recorded  at 
the  regional  and  state  meets." 

The  top  four-year  seniors  were  Mary 
Alico,  Julie  Cancilla,  Gina  Dibridge, 
Kathy  Ewing,  Nanci  Line,  Jennifer  Rifts, 
Lynn  Robbins,  Chris  Skarvelis  and  Eliza- 
beth Urguhart." 

"I  am  really  proud  of  all  the  girls,"  Fry 
said,  "especially  those  who  stuck  it  out  for 
four  years." 

Tammy  Donnelly,  a  junior,  was  the  top 


runner  of  the  season.  She  was  fourth  in  the 
national  championships. 

Weezie  Benzoni  and  Lisa  Bonaccorsi, 
sophomores,  were  also  top  runners. 

"We  couldn't  have  done  it  without 
Coach,"  the  team  shouted  when  asked 
how  they  achieved  such  a  successful 
season. 

"This  was  an  unique  season,"  Benzoni 
said.  "It  was  a  great  experience  for  the 
whole  team.  Everyone  improved.  We  had 
a  close  team  which  Coach  kept  together," 
she  added.

A  lack  of  preparation,  in]unes  and  ill- 
nesses accounted  for  a  disappointing  sea- 
son for  tlie  1985  men's  cross  country  team. 

Co-captain  Jim  Sullivan  summarized 
the  season  by  saying  the  team  put  forth  a 
full  effort  in  attempting  to  achieve  its 
goals.  "There  were  a  few  minor  set- 
backs— injuries  and  illnesses,  plus  the  fact 
that  there  was  not  enough  preparation  be- 
fore we  came  back  to  school  this  fall.  But 
we  were  close  as  a  unit  and  that  helped  to 
develop  a  winning  attitude." 

The  team  did  not  achieve  its  goal  of 
making  an  appearance  at  the  National 
NCAA  II  meet  this  year,  a  break  from  a 
tradition  that  has  given  the  team  a  reputa- 


tion of  being  ranked  as  one  of  the  top 
seven  teams  nationwide.  The  team's  over- 
all record  was  100  wins  and  21  losses, 
including  all  invitationals  and 
championships. 

"We  had  a  good  season,"  co-captain 
Larry  McDonough  commented,  "and  the 
fact  that  a  lot  of  us  didn't  fulfill  our  goals 
didn't  have  a  bearing  on  our  team.  Our 
overall  spirit  was  good." 

Coach  Lou  Sutton  had  a  positive  out- 
look for  next  year's  team. "The  best  part  of 
this  season  was  that  all  but  two  lettermen 
returned.  We  should  have  a  real  strong 
senior  team  next  year."

NEW  COACH  LEADS  TEAM 


Invitationals  Highlight  Season 


It  was  a  fantastic  year  for  the  lUP  wom- 
en's tennis  team,  whiich  was  under  thie 
direction  of  first-year  coach  Jackie  Al- 
benze.  The  team  proudly  finished  with  an 
overall  record  of  12  wins  and  15  losses. 

"The  girls  worked  very  hard,  they  dis- 
played a  lot  of  determination  in  their  play- 
ing. This  spirit  was  displayed  in  the  hard- 
est conference  match  of  the  season,  which 
was  with  Lock  Haven.  We  were  tied  4-4, 
the  last  match  was  the  tie  breaker  and  the 
girls  played  skillfully  but  unfortunately  lost 
4-5,"  stated  coach  Albenze. 

The  highlights  of  the  season  were  the 
two  tournaments  that  they  participated  in, 
the  lUP  Tennis  Invitational  and  the  Penn- 
sylvania State  Athletic  Conference 
(PSAC).  The  lUP  Tennis  Invitational  was  a 
competition  between  five  schools:  Lock 
Haven,  Slippery  Rock,  Shippensburg, 
Edinboro  and  lUP.  Nine  flights  took  place, 
which  included  six  singles  and  three  dou- 


bles. lUP  won  seats  in  three  of  the  singles 
in  their  division.  The  winners  of  the  sin- 
gles were  number  four  single  Kris  Freund, 
number  five  single  Wendy  Eckhard  and 
number  six  single  Lori  Ludwig.  Also,  lUP 
won  number  three  doubles  which  were 
champions  Linda  Hanlon  and  Lori  Lud- 
wig. Overall,  lUP  resulted  in  a  score  of  14, 
Lock  Haven  12,  Slippery  Rock  8,  Ship- 
pensburg 7  and  Edinboro  4. 

The  Pennsylvania  State  Athletic  Con- 
ference (PSAC)  was  a  challenging  tourna- 
ment for  the  women's  tennis  team.  Not 
only  did  lUP  win  third  place,  but  Lori 
Ludwig  won  state  championship,  Kris 
Freund  won  runner-up,  and  the  number 
three  doubles  runner-ups  were  Wendy 
Eckhard  and  Linda  Hanlon. 

"A  major  accomplishment  for  me  was 
winning  states,  it  was  an  excellent  experi- 
ence. But,  the  highlight  of  the  season  was 
when  we  started  to  win  more  matches  lat- 


er in  the  season.  At  this  time  the  team 
worked  harder  and  pulled  closer  togeth- 
er," said  Lori  Ludwig,  PSAC  champion. 

The  team  consisted  of  15  players,  which 
included  two  senior  starters.  There  were 
no  serious  injuries,  only  slight  ankle  and 
shoulder  injuries  but  the  players  played 
through  them.  Kris  Freund,  PSAC  runner 
up  stated,  "The  most  exciting  experience 
for  me  was  to  be  the  only  freshman  in  the 
starting  line-up.  At  first  1  stayed  back  and 
watched  the  other  players,  but  later  on  I 
started  to  advance  forward  and  played  my 
best.  The  team  worked  together  and 
played  as  a  team,  not  as  individuals." 

"The  outlook  for  next  year  is  to  have  a 
strong  upperhalf,  keep  the  winning  tradi- 
tion moving,  to  challenge  Allegheny, 
Edinboro,  WVU  and  Shippensburg,"  stat- 
ed coach  Albenze.

graduated  from  lUP  in  1983,  had  several 
new  and  younger  players  to  work  with 
during  her  first  season  as  coach. 

But  she  also  had  two  returning  letter- 
man  to  add  experience  and  support  to  the 
team-Lori  Plennigwerth,  a  senior  and 
three-year  letterman,  and  Penny  Starr,  a 
two-year  senior  letterman. 

The  team  was  picked  during  the  first 
week  of  September  and  practice  began 
the  second  week.  "That  made  it  tough," 
Johnson  said,  "because  it  was  a  little  hard 
to  just  jump  in." 

The  team  ended  its  season  with  a  record 
of  10-25.  However,  Johnson  says  the  team 
had  a  good  attitude.  "It's  hard  to  lose  and 
keep  your  heads  up,"  Johnson  added, 
"but  the  team  is  looking  forward  to  their 


offseason  as  well  as  to  next  year." 

The  women's  volleyball  team  was  small 
with  an  average  height  of  5  feet  7  inches. 
This  was  one  disadvantage  the  team  had. 
This  was  especially  true  when  facing  a 
team  such  as  Edinboro  University  whose 
average  height  was  5  feet  10  inches.  lUP 
faced  both  Edinboro  and  Clarion  univer- 
sities in  the  PSAC  Western  Champ- 
ionships. 

But  we  showed  what  we  could  do 
against  Edinboro  and  Clarion  in  the 
championships,"  Johnson  says,  "they 
were  extremely  close  matches  which 
could  have  gone  either  way." 

The  lUP  Women's  Volleyball  team  end- 
ed its  1985  season  on  Friday,  November  1 . 

Johnson  will  coach  the  women's  volley- 
ball team  next  year.  She  says  this  past 
season  was  generally  a  learning  experi- 
ence-the  team  did  a  lot  of  growing  up.

LOVIN'  EVERY  MINUTE  OF  IT 

Craziness  Is  The  Key 


Fans  -bundled  in  sweatshirts  and  sweat- 
ers- following  the  lead  of  their  Indian  mas- 
cot- cheered  the  lUP  football  team  on  to 
another  victory. 

This  memory  is  one  all  lUP  students 
share.  But  do  you  ever  wonder  what  he  is 
like  under  all  that  warpamt? 

Bob  Zivkovich  is  crazy,  outgoing  and 
exciting  both  m  and  out  of  his  mascot 
uniform. 

"You  have  to  be  crazy  to  do  this,"  Bob 
boasted  of  his  position  of  the  past  four 
years.  His  experience  shows  through  as 
he  and  Lisa  Boyle,  his  partner,  act  out  skits 
to  get  the  crowd  excited  about  the  game. 

This  is  only  one  of  the  tasks  our  mascot 
has.  In  addition  to  cheering  at  all  the  bas- 
ketball and  football  games,  he  and  his 
partner  attend  all  cheerleading  practices. 
Something  that  people  don't  realize  is  that 
Bob  attended  a  summer  camp  last  year  for 
mascots.  And  he  also  does  shows  for  the 
community  and  for  handicapped  chil- 
dren. All  of  this  takes  dedication.  Bob 
said. 

"The  mascot  also  has  to  be  able  to  get 
along  well  with  people  and  especially 
children,"  he  said. 

Being  the  lUP  mascot  has  given  Bob 
some  of  his  most  rewarding  experiences. 
Bob  said  he  loves  the  little  moments  such 
as  when  kids  come  up  and  talk  to  him 
during  a  game.  One  of  his  most  exciting 
moments  was  when  he  climbed  the  tower 
at  the  1984  Shippensburg  football  game. 
"Unfortunately,  the  cops  didn't  like  it," 
Bob  said.  "They  arrested  mel  But  it  was 
worth  it.  The  fans  went  wild  and  that's 
what  I  wanted  to  happen." 

He  has  had  some  rough  times  too  like 
being  threatened,  punched  and  hit  with 
bottles. 

"I  have  no  regrets,"  Bob  said.  "It  took 
up  a  lot  of  time  but  I  loved  every  minute  of 
it." 


Bob  has  balanced  his  duty  as  the  Indian 
with  the  rest  of  his  lUP  life.  He  has  main- 
tained a  3.5  average  while  majoring  in 
management.  He  also  actively  participates 
in  his  fraternity.  Alpha  Tau  Omega. 

Becoming  more  secure  and  learning  to 
read  people  are  just  a  few  of  the  things 
being  the  mascot  has  helped  Bob  to 
achieve.  Bob  said  he  has  not  always  been 
this  confident.  "I  was  terrified  for  my  frist 
game.  It  used  to  be  really  hard  to  go  out 
there  and  act  crazy.  Now  it's  just  second 
nature,"  he  said. 

Bob  decided  to  try  out  for  the  mascot 
postition  his  freshman  year.  He  and  his 
friends  were  checking  out  the  cheerlead- 
ers and  they  encouraged  him  to  do  it.  So 
he  said,  "What  the  heck!"  He  also  wanted 
to  stay  close  to  sports,  especially  football, 
his  first  love. 

Bob  said  he  loves  the  attention  he  gets 
by  being  the  mascot.  "It's  great  going  out 
there.  I  get  to  be  someone  else.  I  have  no 
limitations.  I  can  be  as  crazy  as  I  want," 
Bob  said.  "If  you're  having  a  bad  day,  you 
go  out  there  and  use  up  all  that  aggres- 
sion. I  always  end  up  feeling  terrific." 

Upon  graduation  Bob  plans  to  join  the 
Army.  "What  I  want  to  do  is  pursue  a 
career  in  flying  helicopters,"  Bob  said. 

His  dream  as  the  lUP  Indian  was  to 
parachute  into  the  1985  homecoming 
football  game.  "No  mascot  has  ever  done 
it,"  Bob  said,  "It  would  put  me  in  the 
history  books,"  Unfortunately,  a  broken 
ankle  kept  Bob  from  obtaining  his  dream. 

We  are  certain  that  even  though  he 
won't  be  in  the  history  books  for  this  ad- 
venturous feat  we  at  lUP  will  never  forget 
our  Indian  from  1982-1986.  His  excite- 
ment and  dedication  has  made  us  all 
proud!

WIN  OVER  DIVISION  I  ROBERT  MORRIS-PEAK  OF  SEASON 

Men's  Basketball  Team 
Represented  lUP  Well 


m  r  A 


The  1985-86  men 's  basketball  team:  Kneehng  (1  to  r):  Freddie  Sandifer,  Jerry  Shanahan,  Mike  Dorsey,  Dave  Knaub,  lay  Irwin,  Tom  Chaney,  Andy  Rolen,  stu- 
dent coach  Standmg:  Tom  Beck,  head  coach,  John  Sanow,  Mike  Bertness,  Rob  Englehart,  Bob  luzzolino,  Chas.  Paeier,  Marcus  Amos,  Paul  Burnett,  Asst. 
coaches  Joe  Lombardi  and  Tony  Bemardi 


The  1985-86  season  was  one  marked  by 
peaks  of  excellence  and  valleys  of  incon- 
sistency. Tlie  Big  Indians,  who  finished 
with  an  overall  record  of  16-13  and  a  con- 
ference record  of  6-4,  started  the  year 
against  formidable  Division  I  opponents 
and  were  led  by  seniors  Freddie  Sandifer 
and  Dave  Knaub.  After  easily  defeating 
Alliance,  lUP  was  beaten  by  West  Virgin- 
ia, University  of  Pittsburgh  and  Duquesne 
-  all  very  respectable  Division  I  squads. 
The  Big  Indians  went  on  to  win  three  of 
their  next  five  games,  beating  Pitt  Johns- 
town, Bowie  State  of  Maryland  and 
LaRoche. 

lUP  reached  its  highest  peak  of  the  sea- 
son when  they  defeated  Division  I  Robert 
Morris.  This  marked  the  first  time  that  an 
lUP  basketball  team  had  ever  defeated  a 
Division  I  opponent.  During  the  semester 
break,  lUP  beat  Point  Park  and  lost  to 
District  of  Columbia  m  lUP's  Christmas 
Tree  Tournament. 

The  next  four  games  were  victories  for 
the  Big  Indians,  one  being  the  defeat  of 
Philadelphia  Textile,  a  nationally  ranked 
Division  II  team.  By  the  beginning  of  Feb- 
ruary, lUP  was  5-0  in  conference  play  and 


considered  the  favorite  to  win  the  division. 

"In  the  beginning,  we  played  brilliant 
basketball,"  Tom  Beck,  lUP's  head  coach, 
said.  "We  defeated  teams  like  Robert 
Morris  and  Philadelphia  Textile  on  their 
home  courts.  We  were  getting  excellent 
play  from  our  key  men  -  Sandifer  and 
Knaub  and  from  our  freshmen  like  Paul 
Burnett,  Mike  Dorsey  and  Tom  Chaney." 

But  the  season's  valleys  were  yet  to 
come. 

lUP  lost  four  of  its  next  five  games,  all 
conference  games,  to  teams  they  had 
handily  beaten  earlier  in  the  year.  These 
four  conference  losses  knocked  lUP  into 
second  place.  The  team  ended  the  regu- 
lar season  with  a  victory  over  Mercyhurst. 

lUP  defeated  Clarion  soundly  in  the 
first  playoff  game,  but  lost  to  Edinboro  by 
four  points  in  the  next  match.  lUP  shot 
poorly  from  the  inside  against  Edinboro  as 
they  were  2  for  18. 

"Our  goals  were  to  win  the  conference, 
win  the  playoffs  and  make  the  NCAA 
tournament,"  Beck  said.  "I  was  disap- 
pointed that  we  didn't  achieve  our  goals, 
because  they  were  certainly  within  reach. 
We  just  didn't  play  well  when  we  had  to 


near  the  end." 

The  team's  scoring  was  widely  distribut- 
ed with  the  leader  being  junior  John 
Sanow  who  averaged  1 1 .5  points  per 
game.  Sanow's  best  game  was  against  Di- 
vision II  powerhouse  Cheyney  where  his 
outside  shooting  ability  allowed  him  to 
pour  in  26  points  in  the  losing  effort.  Be- 
hind Sanow  in  scoring  was  Freddie  San- 
difer, 10.6  and  Mike  Bertness  and  Mike 
Dorsey  with  10.1  Bertness  led  the  team  in 
rebounds  averaging  6.4  per  game  fol- 
lowed by  Knaub  with  6.3,  Dorsey  with  6.2 
and  Sandifer  with  6. 1  rebounds  per  game. 
Sandifer  also  led  the  team  in  assists  with 
1 13  for  the  year. 

Coach  Beck  noted  that  he  will  look  to 
Dorsey  and  Chaney  to  fill  in  for  the  two 
seniors  for  next  year's  team.  But  for  this 
year's  team  he  had  nothing  but  praise. 

"These  young  men  worked  very  hard 
and  cooperated  with  the  coaching  staff  in 
every  way,"  he  said.  "We  were  extremely 
pleased  with  their  attitude  and  we  feel 
they  represented  lUP  very  well."

WIN  OVER  LOCK  HAVEN  HIGHLIGHTS  SEASON 

An  Impressive  Season  For 
The  Lady  Braves 


The  1985-86  women 's  basketball  team:  Kneel- 
ing: Head  Coach  Carolyn  Thompson  First 
Row:  Assistant  Coach  Jan  Kiger,  Patti  Con- 
naqhan,  Sue  Brecko,  and  student  coach  Mark 
Sapita  Second  Row:  Laura  Santacroce, 
Dianne  Rohaus,  Sandy  Dowdy.  Marqo  Hin- 
ton,  Leanne  Santacroce  Third  Row:  Lisetta 
Boccella,  Daria  McKnight,  Sarah  Fairbanks, 
Aimee  Gorda,  Laurie  Beiriger  and  Ginny 
Wilson 


"It  just  goes  to  show  you  that  talent  is 
one  thing,  but  head,  heart  and  hustle  — 
they're  another." 

The  words  are  those  of  Coach  Carolyn 
Thompson,  who  described  her  women's 
basketball  season  as  "great"  and  "fun", 
despite  losing  last  year's  team's  natural 
talent. 

"We  played  a  good  brand  of  basketball 
because  everyone  made  contributions  to 
a  successful  season,"  she  said.  "Even 
though  we  lost  our  natural  talent  from  last 
year's  team,  we  surprised  pre-season  ex- 
pectations and  had  a  very  good  season." 

Seniors  Lisetta  Boccella  from  Carrick 
ITigh  School  in  Pittsburgh,  Ginny  Wilson 
from  Lakeview  High  School  in  Stoneboro 
and  Daria  McKnight  from  Oxford  Hills 
High  School  in  Harrison,  Maine,  provided 
the  leadership  the  team  needed  to  earn  an 
impressive  record. 

The  team's  final  record  was  15  wins  and 
1 1  losses.  This  is  impressive,  considering 
pre-season  predictions  didn't  have  the 
Lady  Braves  in  the  top  three.  In  fact,  they 
tied  for  second  in  the  conference  at  6-4 


with  Lock  Haven. 

"The  whole  season  itself  was  great,  but  I 
guess  if  there  is  one  game  that  stands  out, 
it  was  our  victory  against  Lock  Haven," 
Thompson  said.  "We  beat  them  on  their 
own  floor,  which  we  have  never  done." 

Sophomore  guard  Patti  Connaghan 
shattered  the  old  record  assists  mark  with 
141.  She  also  led  the  team  with  75  steals. 

Boccella  led  the  team  with  174  re- 
bounds and  was  third  in  scoring,  averag- 
ing 10.4  points  a  game.  Second  in  scoring 
was  Wilson,  who  scored  10.8  points  a 
game. 

Junior  guard  Sue  Brecko  topped  the 
team's  scoring  statistics  with  her  impres- 
sive record  of  43%  accuracy  from  the 
floor  and  75%  accuracy  from  the  foul  line. 

Another  stand-out  was  McKnight  who 
led  the  team  with  17  blocked  shots  and  7.3 
rebounds  a  game. 

Coach  Thompson  was  assisted  by  assis- 
tant coach  Jan  Kiger  and  student  coach 
Mark  Sapita.

The  1985-86  wrestling  season  ended 
with  a  3-7  record,  a  record  that  did  not 
accurately  retlect  the  talent  on  the  team. 

lUP's  starting  lineup  was  missing  two 
weight  classes  (118  lbs.  and  177  lbs.) 
which  cost  the  wrestlers  12  points  every 
match  (6  points  per  forfeit). 

"Giving  up  12  points  every  match 
makes  it  hard  to  win,"  said  first  year  head 
wrestling  coach  Rick  DeLong. 

The  team's  three  wins  were  over  Juniata 
(36-15),  California  (30-18)  and  Mansfield 
(33-22).  The  wrestlers  experienced  two 
close  losses  to  Kutztown  (27-21)  and  UPJ 
(24-17). 

In  tournament  action  the  wrestlers 
turned  in  an  impressive  finish  at  the  Juni- 
ata Tournament.  They  placed  second  out 
of  seven  teams.  Senior  co-captains  Rich 
Bonaccorsi  and  Lenny  Davis  won  the  190 
and  167  lb.  weight  classes,  respectively. 


Sophomores  Rodger  Wigman  (HWT)  and 
Ward  Allenbach  also  captured  first  in 
their  weight  classes.  Sophomore  Allen 
Gross  backed  up  the  team  effort  with  a 
third  place  finish  in  the  142  lb.  division. 

At  the  lUP  Invitational,  Bonaccorsi  won 
the  177  lb.  class.  Allenbach  placed  sec- 
ond in  the  134  lb.  division.  Taking  third 
places  in  the  142  lb.  and  167  lb.  classes 
were  Gross  and  Davis.  The  team  placed 
fifth  out  of  eight  teams. 

At  the  PSAC  championships,  the  team 
placed  ninth  out  of  thirteen  teams,  Bonac- 
corsi placed  fourth  in  the  190  lb  division. 

During  the  NCAA  Regionals,  Bonac- 
corsi placed  third  in  the  177  lb.  class  and 
Davis  finished  fourth  in  the  167  lb.  divi- 
sion. lUP  placed  eighth  in  the  team 
standings. 

On  an  individual  level,  Bonaccorsi,  an 
AU-American  his  sophomore  year,  lead 


the  team.  During  the  85-86  season,  he  be 
came  the  most  successful  wrestler  in  lUP'; 
history  by  finishing  his  lUP  wrestling  ca 
reer  with  107  wins.  This  broke  Rand^ 
Strayer's  record  of  78  lUP  career  wins 
Aside  of  this  accomplishment,  Bonaccors 
also  won  the  190  lb.  division  titles  at  th< 
Rochester  Institute  of  Technology  and  thi 
West  Liberty  Invitational. 

"As  far  as  the  future's  concerned  fo 
me,  I'd  like  to  go  into  coaching  and  hel] 
other  young  athletes  become  champi 
ons,"  said  Bonaccorsi 

The  team  will  be  losing  Bonaccorsi  am 
Davis  to  graduation.  "Next  year's  tear 
will  be  comprised  mainly  of  sophomore 
and  juniors,"  said  DeLong.

"The  1985-86  season  was  one  of  the 
best,  if  not  the  best  ever,  season  swimwise 
and  Conference  standing-wise  in  the  his- 
tory of  this  school,"  head  coach  Dave 
Watkins  said,  as  he  further  added  that  this 
year's  team  was  "one  of  the  best  teams 
that  the  school  has  ever  had." 

The  lUP  Big  Indian  Swimming  Braves 
started  off  the  year  hosting  the  lUP  relays, 
Nov.  18.  lUP  placed  fourth  with  84  points 
just  behind  Fairmont  State  of  Fairmont. 
Clarion  took  first  place.  lUP  swam  to  take 
a  number  of  strong  second  and  third 
places  during  the  relays. 

Opening  the  regular  season  November 
23,  lUP  travelled  to  Bloomsburg  where 
the  team  met  and  defeated  (63-49)  the 
small  but  impressive  Huskie  team.  There 
nine  lUP  swimmers  qualified  for  the  state 
conference  meet. 

Shaved  and  tapered,  lUP  travelled  to 
meet  rival  Fairmont  State  on  December  7. 
Prior  to  the  meet  Coach  Watkins  de- 
scribed the  meet  as  a  "barn  burner"  and 
that  it  was. 

Due  to  illness,  injuries  and  some  "out- 


standing performances"  by  their  oppo- 
nent, the  Swimming  Braves  suffered  their 
first  loss,  67-46. 

In  January,  the  Big  Indian  swimmers 
met  Allegheny  College  in  what  was  ex- 
pected to  be  a  very  close  meet.  It  turned 
out  to  be  what  Coach  Watkins  said  was  "a 
toss  up"  for  the  team's  best  dual  meet  of 
the  year  along  with  the  later  Edinboro 
meet.  lUP  won  69-44.  Every  member  of 
the  team  managed  personal  or  seasonal 
best  times. 

Being  defeated  62-48  by  Clarion,  Coa- 
ch Bill  Miller  commented  on  how  im- 
pressed he  was  by  lUP's  performance, 
predicting  that  the  team  would  do  quite 
well  at  the  state  meet. 

Hearing  of  the  Brave's  swimming 
strength,  the  Fighting  Scots  of  Edinboro 
came  to  have  some  fun  for  the  day.  lUP 
won  all  but  four  of  the  13  events  as  the 
Braves  raced  the  clock  on  to  a  66-47  win 
in  what  Coach  Watkins  said  was  "the  most 
rewarding  meet  that  (he  has)  ever  been  in 
as  a  coach." 

lUP  ended  its  regular  season  February 


15  on  a  high  note  with  a  65-43  victory  over 
Slippery  Rock  to  bring  its  final  tally  to  5-2. 

Next  came  the  PSAC  meet  February  27 
-  March  1  at  Clarion,  where  the  1985-86 
squad  placed  third  with  245  points  behind 
Clarion  (602)  and  Shippensburg  (308). 
Coach  Watkins  said,  "This  may  be  the 
best  championship  performance  by  any 
lUP  team  since  the  middle  70's.  We  had 
many  swimmers  doing  life-time  and  sea- 
son bests,  and  our  245  points  reflects  the 
number  of  swimmers  we  were  able  to 
place  in  the  preliminary  and  final  heats." 

Citing  one  individual  as  a  reflection  of 
this  year's  success.  Coach  Watkins  named 
freshman  Brian  Eckenrode  as  this  year's 
top  performer.  Topping  an  incredible  sea- 
son as  the  team's  No  1  distance  freestyler, 
Eckenrode  went  a  few  strokes  more. 

At  the  PSAC  meet,  Eckenrode  high- 
lighted lUP's  first-round  action  with  his 
4:48.36  500  freestyle  record.  He  placed 
third  in  the  finals.  Eckenrode  swam  on  to 
break  two  lUP  records  in  the  1 ,000  and 
1,650.

The  lUP  women's  swimming  team, 
coached  by  Kofie  Montgomery  and  Lois 
Clark,  fmished  the  season  with  a  7-6  re- 
cord and  had  an  "mteresting  season"  ac- 
cording to  Montgomery. 

The  team  had  many  new  members  that 
hit  their  best  personal  times  this  season. 
All  of  the  19  swimmers  on  the  team  let- 
tered this  year  and  there  were  two  gradu- 
ating seniors:  Elaine  Tihansky,  captain 
and  Kim  Stanovich,  manager. 

Montgomery  said  that  the  swimmers 
best  times  were  at  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Athletic  Conference  Championship.  The 
team  competed  with  1 1  schools  and  came 
in  fifth  place.  She  added  that  the  return- 
ing swimmers  swam  different  events  this 
year  and  all  the  divers  learned  new  dives. 

Tihansky  said  this  year  was  a  "Building 
season  with  a  really  strong  first  year  crew 
and  the  following  years  should  be  even 
stronger."

A  WINNING  SEASON 

Gymnastics 


A  Team  Effort 


The  1985-86  Gymnastics  team:  Front  row:  Lori  Henkemeyer,  Sue  Wahl,  Robin  Miller,  Dina  Carrieri,  Lisa  Hagins,  Brenda  Peterman  Back  row;  Coach  Dan  Ken 
dig,  Amy  Simms,  Tonya  Kustaborder,  Lisa  Wegener,  Laura  Kraft,  Gina  Gover,  Monica  Grote,  Lee  Cochran,  student  asst.  coaches  Kelly  Eschbaugh,Ted  Drass. 


lUP's  85-86  gymnastic  media  guide  set 
a  theme  of  "planning  an  encore"  for  the 
gymnastic  team  after  winning  the  NCAA 
Division  II  Southeastern  Regional  title  the 
previous  year. 

They  did  achieve  an  encore  and  sur- 
passed it.  They  won  Regionals  again,  cap- 
tured their  third  straight  Pa.  Conference 
crown,  improved  their  national  champion- 
ship meet  finish  from  eighth  to  sixth  and 
watched  two  sophomores  achieve  AU- 
American  honors. 

Susan  Wahl  achieved  AU-American  sta- 
tus in  both  the  vault  and  floor  exercise. 
Gina  Gover  did  so  on  the  uneven  bars 
and  missed  becoming  the  national  cham- 
pion in  her  event  by  one  tenth  of  a  point. 

According  to  Coach  Dan  Kendig,  the 
NCAA  Regional  Meet,  hosted  by  lUP,  was 
the  most  exciting  meet  for  him. 

The  team  achieved  their  highest  meet 
score  ever,  178.4,  including  a  team  record 
44  on  the  uneven  bars.  They  won  all  four 
events. 


"We  hit  it.  We  were  four  for  four,"  Ken- 
dig  said.  "We  had  our  best  meet  ever  in  a 
time  when  we  really  needed  it." 

In  their  regular  season  the  Lady  Braves 
achieved  a  15-9  record.  They  reached  a 
team  score  of  better  than  170  in  nine  of 
the  13  meets.  They  achieved  this  score 
only  twice  in  the  84-85  season. 

The  85-86  team  received  a  third  place 
ranking  among  all  division  II  and  III  teams 
in  the  country  as  published  by  the  Nation- 
al Association  of  Collegiate  Coaches/Wo- 
men and  A.T.  Cross  Co. 

This  success  was  achieved  because  of 
the  whole  team,  according  to  Kendig. 

"The  whole  year  was  a  team  effort.  No 
one  person  made  this  year  great.  The 
whole  team  did." 

Since  Robin  Miller,  lohnstown,  is  the 
only  graduating  senior  the  team  expects  a 
strong,  successful  season  next  year.

CONCENTRATION,  SKILL  AND  A  KEEN  EYE  .  .  . 

Mental  Skill  Part  Of  Rifle 


"The  patience  and  togetherness  of  the 
rifle  team  were  significant  attributes  to  the 
'85- '86  year.  Rifle  is  a  sport  which  enables 
a  member  to  achieve  what  he  puts  into  it 
—  "It  is  one  to  grow  on,"  stated  Steve 
Hornick,  a  member  of  the  lUP  rifle  team. 

The  rifle  team  was  under  the  instruction 
of  Coach  Thomas  Campisano  for  the  sea- 
son. The  team  consisted  of  12  members, 
with  the  nucleus  of  the  team  consisting  of 
approximately  eight  members.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  season  was  very  difficult  for  the 
team.  Their  standing  for  the  season  was 
three  wins  and  nine  losses.  The  season 
was  a  'building  year'  for  the  team;  'not 
enough  depth'  was  intermingled  within 
the  members.  "But,  the  players  tried  as 
hard  as  they  could,"  replied  Coach 
Campisano.  Most  of  the  members  were 


first  year  competitors. 

The  three  matches  the  team  won  were 
against  Saint  Francis  (twice)  and  Edin- 
boro.  Respective  scores  were  10-13x  and 
8-06;  ll-12x  and  10-12x.  The  competition 
was  rough,  but  the  experience  was  need- 
ed to  build  skill.  "The  personal  growth  1 
experienced  played  an  important  part  in 
shooting.  Rifle  is  a  mental  sport,  unlike 
football,  for  example,  which  engages  in 
physical  competition.  Concentration,  skill, 
and  a  keen  eye  are  important,"  said  Kathy 
Lesic,  a  freshman  team  member. 

Coach  Campisano  said  that  he  is  look- 
ing forward  to  a  good  year  next  season. 
He  is  anticipating  more  freshman  with 
experience.

A  lack  of  experience  plagued  the  fenc- 
ing teams  this  year,  according  to  Coach 
Nancy  Barthelemy. 

"We  just  didn't  have  the  experience, 
but  we  had  great  repoire  among  the  team- 
mates," she  said.  "Captains  JoAnn  Cayton 
and  Brendon  Stokes  were  good  captains 
and  their  leadership  really  helped  the 
team." 

The  men's  record  stood  at  7  wins  and  5 
losses,  while  the  women's  was  5  wins  and 
3  losses.  Competitors  included  California 


University,  Fayette,  Carnegie-Mellon  Uni- 
versity, West  Virginia  University,  Alleghe- 
ny College,  and  the  University  of 
Pittsburgh. 

Barthelemy  said  the  highlights  of  the 
season  were  Cayton's  and  Stokes'  re- 
cords. Cayton  had  37  wins  and  13  losses 
while  Stokes  racked  up  41  wins  and  21 
losses.

lUP's  baseball  team  had  a  .500  record 
at  numerous  times  throughout  the  season 
but  ended  their  regular  schedule  on  the 
winning  end  at  18-14  overall  and  12-8  in 
the  conference. 

The  team's  first  conference  game  was  a 
split  double  header  against  Slippery- 
Rock.  lUP's  PSAC  home  opener  was  a 
disappointing  one  game  3-2  loss  to  Clari- 
on. The  second  game  which  lUP  was  win- 
ning 4-2,  was  called  in  the  bottom  of  the 
second  inning  because  of  rain. 

Rain  and  other  types  of  inclement 
weather  rearranged  the  baseball  schedule 


forcmg  the  team  to  play  many  games  m  a 
row  to  even  out  their  schedule.  By  the  end 
of  April  their  record  stood  at  12-12  overall 
and  7-7  m  the  PSAC  conference. 

On  May  3,  the  Braves  beat  the  Califor- 
nia Vulcans  13-10  in  the  first  game  of  a 
doubleheader  allowing  lUP  to  advance  to 
the  PSAC  playoffs  by  finishing  second  in 
the  conference. 

The  playoffs  were  not  as  successful  as 
the  Braves  may  have  hoped  however, 
they  were  eliminated  after  losses  to  Ship- 
pensburg  and  Mansfield.

1986  proved  to  be  the  most  successful 
season  in  the  history  of  the  lUP  Softball 
program. 

The  team's  overall  record  was  18  wins 
and  15  losses;  with  victories  over  such 
schools  as  Saint  Vincent,  West  Liberty, 
Shippensburg  and  Clarion. 

One  of  the  most  impressive  wins  for  the 
team  came  against  Saint  Francis.  lUP 
compiled  1 1  runs  and  the  game  was  end- 
ed in  the  fifth  inning  because  of  the  "10 
run  rule."  lUP  pitcher  Beth  Blaisdell  was 
credited  for  playing  a  key  role  in  this  1 1-0 
shut-out. 

Another  bright  spot  in  this  history  mak- 
ing season  was  Mary  Kline's  mid-April 
standing  as  the  home  run  leader  (4  runs) 
in  the  conference.

Landing  a  second  place  team  finish  in 
the  PSAC  championships,  the  men's  track 
and  field  team  showed  what  combined 
individual  efforts  can  do. 

lUP's  track  and  field  season  was  filled 
with  many  individual  successes  that  to- 
gether made  an  impressive  team.  This  first 
became  evident  at  the  Liberty  University 
Open.  Although  no  team  scores  were 
kept,  lUP  came  home  with  9  medals  (first 
thur.  third),  including  two  first  places  in 
the  shot  and  discus  by  Eugene 
Dellemonache. 

At  the  Towson  Invitational  the  men 
topped  14  other  teams  winning  the  team 
title  with  87  points.  They  then  continued 
on  to  the  lUP  Track  and  Field  Open.  Eight 
team  members  won  nine  events,  they 
were — Dellemonache(shot  put);  Dave 
Medvetz  (pole  vault),  Greg  Caprara  (ham- 
mer throw),  Mike  Lockhart  (triple  jump 


and  200),  Dave  Maudie  (lavelin),  Tom 
Doran  (1500),  Roger  Sloan  (110  high  hur- 
dles) and  Rob  Houk  (400).  The  men  turned 
in  a  similar  performance  at  the  lUP  Invita- 
tional as  well. 

The  PSAC  championships  saw  four  lUP 
athletes  win  their  events.  Dellemonache 
won  both  the  discus  and  the  shot.  Med- 
vetz won  the  decatholon.  Lockhart  won 
the  triple  jump  and  Larry  McDonough 
took  the  10,000  race.  Doran  and  Maudie 
placed  second  m  the  5,000  and  the  jave- 
lin, respectively. 

Nationals  were  the  last  competition  of 
the  season.  Medvetz  placed  fourth  in  the 
decatholon  and  was  named  AU-American. 
Maudie  took  fifth  m  the  javelin  and  re- 
ceived AU-American  honors  as  well. 
Doran  placed  ninth  in  the  5,000 — just 
short  of  All-Amencan  honors.

The  lUP  women's  track  and  field  team 
enjoyed  many  individual  victories  as  well 
as  record  breaking  performances  during 
the  1986  season. 

The  winning  began  at  the  Bucknell  In- 
door Invitational  m  February.  Three 
school  records  were  broken  at  this  meet. 
Kathy  Ewing  broke  the  record  in  the  mile 
(5  minutes).  Lauretta  Galbraith  tied  the 
school  record  in  the  60  yard  hurdles  (8.6 
seconds)  and  Kim  Schneider  set  the  triple 
jump  record  with  a  36  ft  6.5  inch 
performance. 

The  ladies  traveled  to  Harrisonburg, 
VA  to  the  James  Madison  University  Invi- 
tational and  returned  with  eight  first  place 
finishes.  Compiling  these  victories  were 
Ewing  (1,500  meters),  Galbraith  (100  me- 
ter high  hurdles),  Schneider  (triple  jump). 
Colleen  Zubey  (3,000  meters).  Tammy 
Donnelly  (5,000  meters),  Ginny  Wilson 
(discus),  Carolyn  Kern  (shot  put)  and  Ew- 
ing, Elizabeth  Urguhart,  Patty  Kinch  and 
Nanci  Line  (2  mile  relay). 


As  the  season  continued  the  ladies  com- 
piled more  individual  honors.  Schneider 
and  Galbraith  broke  more  school  records; 
and  at  the  lUP  Invitational  the  women 
won  10  out  of  12  running  events. 

The  PSAC  meet  saw  the  team  place 
third.  Donnelly  set  new  records  in  the 
3,000  and  the  5,000  meter  events.  Ewing 
won  the  1 ,500  meters  and  Schneider  won 
the  triple  jump. 

Nationals  were  the  next  step  for  the 
Lady  Braves  who  qualified.  Two  lUP  run- 
ners emerged  as  All  Americans — Ewing 
(seventh  in  the  1 ,500  meter)  and  Donnelly 
(first  m  the  lOK  event).  Donnelly's  spectac- 
ular achievement  gave  her  the  right  to 
compete  in  the  Division  I  NCAA  meet 
where  she  placed  an  impressive 
thirteenth. 

Coach  Ed  Fry  said,  "Her  (Donnelly's) 
hard  work  really  came  to  the  front.  She 
just  ran  a  real  intelligent  race."

As  in  the  past,  the  1986  golf  team  up- 
held its  tradition  of  winning  by  capturing 
numerous  invitational  titles  and  the  PSAC 
title  in  their  division. 

The  team  started  out  their  spring  season 
v^ith  a  seventh  place  finish  at  the  Camp 
Lejeune  Invitational  in  North  Carolina. 
They  followed  this  performance  with  a 
sixth  place  out  of  25  teams  at  the  Navy 
Invitational  in  Annapolis,  MD. 

The  winning  streak  began  with  the 
Champion  Lakes  Invitational.  lUP  topped 
ten  other  teams,  and  senior  Ben  Witter 
finished    second,    one    stroke    ahead    of 


teammate  Ty  Grove. 

The  West  Liberty  Invitational  saw  the 
golfers  take  the  top  three  finishes  to  win 
the  title.  Dan  Pelczarski  captured  the  top 
spot,  followed  by  Doug  Gradwell  and 
Witter  in  second  and  third,  respectively. 

At  the  Penn  State  Invitational  the  team 
tied  for  third  in  a  field  of  20  teams. 

Following  Penn  State,  the  golfers  spent 
a  weekend  at  "home"  -  capturing  the  lUP 
Invitational  title  for  the  third  consecutive 
year.  Pelczarski  took  the  top  spot  for  his 
second  time,  while  Witter  placed  second. 

The  Penn   National  Country   Club   in

DIVISION  I DUQUESNE  FALLS 


Excellent  Season  Ends  At  12-2 


Above:  The  1986  men 's  tennis  team:  Row  1:  Jim  Taylor,  Dow  Misenheller;  Row  2:  Mark  Vogel,  Tim  Nuss,  Brad  Hanes,  Joe  Fadden;  Row  3:  Coach  Vince  Celt- 
nieks,  David  Jacobs,  Robert  Wright,  Peter  Fabrin  and  Jim  Welker. 


A  12-2  overall  record  was  the  end  prod- 
uct of  a  successful  season  for  the  1986 
men's  tennis  team. 

The  season  was  filled  with  9-0  shutout 
victories  over  Saint  Vincent,  Saint  Francis, 
Duquesne,  Shippensburg,  Lock.  Haven, 
Penn  State  Behrend,  Gannon  and 
Frostburg. 

The  teams  two  loses  came  at  the  hands 
of  MillersviUe  (8-1)  and  Pitt  (3-6). 

Perhaps  the  most  satisfying  victory  for 
the  players  was  a  5-4  win  over  Edinboro. 


Tennis  coach  Vince  Celtnieks  was  quoted 
in  the  April  25  issue  of  the  Penn  as  saying, 
"I've  been  coaching  seven  years  and 
we've  never  beaten  them.  It  feels  damn 
good  to  finally  win." 

The  season  ended  with  a  fifth  place  fin- 
ish at  the  PSAC  Championships  at  Millers- 
viUe. Brad  Hanes  (No.  1),  Jim  Welker  (No. 
3)  and  Tim  Nuss  (No.  5)  each  advanced  to 
the  semi-finals  in  singles  play  before  be- 
ing eliminated.

WORKING  TOGETHER  TO  CHEER  OUR  TEAMS  ONWARD 

Showing  Spirit  And  Support 
For  Sports 


Enthusiasm,  spirit,  stunts  and  cheers 
are  all  words  that  one  associates  with  the 
active  lUP  cheerleaders.  The  cheerlead- 
ing  squad  consists  oi  20  men  and  women 
for  football  games  and  16  men  and  wom- 
en for  basketball  games.  Also,  one  can  see 
the  lUP  Indian  mascots  down  on  the  field 
or  court  every  now  and  then.  For  these 
sports, vfhe  cheerleaders  put  in  a  lot  of  time 
during  practices  to  'polish  up'  their  rou- 
tines. Practices  are  held  in  the  Memorial 
Field  House,  two  or  three  times  a  week. 
During  these  practices,  they  work  on  their 
aerobic  exercises,  such  as  lifts,  mounts, 
and  human  towers. 

"Sometimes  we  have  a  hard  time  dur- 
ing the  practices,  we  have  to  work  togeth- 
er and  it  has  its  difficult  moments.  But, 
when  we  are  on  the  field  or  court  and  see 


our  team  playing,  we  all  become  the  best 
of  friends,  working  towards  a  purpose  .  .  . 
to  support  and  encourage  our  team  to 
victory.  Then  the  thoughts  of  those  frus- 
trating practices  disappear  and  the  unity 
at  the  game  is  fantastic,"  stated  Dan 
Woodring,  co-captain  of  the  squad. 

In  the  fall  ('85)  the  cheerleaders  partici- 
pated in  the  UCA  Cheerleading  Champi- 
onship and  achieved  sixth  position  out  of 
150  participating  groups  in  the  Division  II 
squads.  This  is  an  outstanding  accom- 
plishment, considering  that  the  cheer- 
leaders are  not  under  the  direction  of  a 
coach  or  advisor.  They  conduct  all  the 
practices  by  themselves,  working  together 
to  cheer  'our  team'  onward.

lUP  HONORS  ITS  BEST 


15  Athletes  Named  All- 
Americans 


Fifteen  student  athletes  were  honored 
for  their  outstanding  performances  in 
their  sports  during  the  past  year  at  the  Ail- 
American  Dinner  in  the  Blue  Room  of  Sut- 
ton Hall. 

The  March  24  event  paid  tribute  to  the 
athletes  of  lUP  that  obtained  AU-American 
honors  in  either  the  spring  of  1985,  the  fall 
of  1985  or  the  1985-86  winter  seasons. 

Six  lUP  teams  had  athletes  attending 
the  dinner.  The  women's  cross  country 
team  was  the  best  represented  with  seven 
honorees.  The  seven  member  team 
achieved  their  honor  by  placing  third  in 
the  NCAA  Division  II  national  champion- 
ship. Junior  Tammy  Donnelly  lead  the 
team  by  placing  fourth  in  this  champion- 
ship meet.  Elisa  "Weezie"  Benzoni,  a 
sophomore,  placed  24th  at  the  meet;  fol- 
lowed by  sophomore  Lisa  Bonaccorsi  in 
29th,  senior  Kathy  Ewmg  28th,  senior 
Mary  Alice  32nd,  Elizabeth  Urquhart  44th 
and  senior  Nanci  Line  45th. 

Donnelly  was  also  honored  for  her 
fourth  place  finish  in  the  10,000  meter  run 
at  the  NCAA  Division  II  national  track  and 
field  championships  last  spring  in  Los 
Angeles. 

Two  sports  had  three  AU-Americans 
each,  football  and  golf.  Former  head  foot- 

Lelt:  Chris  Lang,  Rob  Allen,  and  Ben  Witter  social-

American  Dave  Seidel. 


ball  coach  George  Chaump  returned  to 
lUP  to  present  awards  to  seniors  Rich  In- 
gold,  Mark  Plevelich,  and  Dave  Seidel. 
Ingold  was  named  an  honorable  mention 
from  the  Associated  Press'  Ail-American 
"small  college"  team.  Plevelich,  the  start- 
ing center  with  quarterback  Ingold,  also 
received  honorable  mention  from  the  As- 
sociated Press  for  his  performances  dur- 
ing this  fall's  season.  Plevelich  and  In- 
gold's  teammate,  Seidel,  fourth  year  first 
team  fullback  for  lUP,  was  also  cited  by 
the  AP  as  an  honorable  mention. 

Only  one  of  the  golf  team's  All-Ameri- 
cans  was  able  to  attend  the  dinner,  senior 
Ben  Witter  stepped  forth  to  be  recognized 
for  third  year  in  a  row  as  an  AU-American. 
Witter  placed  44th  last  spring  at  the 
NCAA  Division  II  national  championship. 
He  also  won  the  tournament's  long  drive 
contest. 

The  other  two  golfers,  Joe  Klinchok,  a 
business  administration  graduate  in  May 
1985,  and  Dan  Pelczarski,  a  senior,  placed 
24th  and  21st  respectively  at  Nationals. 
Both  were  named  honorable  mention  Ail- 
Americans  for  their  finishes  at  this  event. 

The  men's  swimming  team  was  repre- 
sented by  an  athlete  with  great  swimming 
abilities  as  well  as  outstanding  academic 


talents.  Sophomore  Chris  Lang  was  rec- 
ognized for  his  swimming  performances  at 
the  NCAA  Division  II  championships  last 
year  (17th  in  the  200  butterfly,  28th  in  the 
100  and  a  member  of  the  400  yard  medley 
relay  that  placed  17th)  and  his  3.85  grade 
point  average.  These  factors  more  than 
qualified  Lang  for  the  honor  of  Academic 
Ail-American  from  the  College  Swimming 
Coaches  Association  of  America. 

The  sixth  team  to  have  an  AU-American 
was  the  men's  track  and  field  team.  lUP 
graduate,  Rob  Allen  placed  fifth  in  the 
javelin  at  the  NCAA  Division  II  national 
championship  meet  in  Los  Angeles  last 
spring  to  capture  this  honor. 

The  voice  of  the  Big  Indians  Bill  Otto 
served  as  master  of  ceremonies  for  the 
occasion.  Also  making  remarks  were  lUP 
president  John  D.Welty,  lUP  athletic  di- 
rector Frank  Cignetti  and  lUP  associate 
athletic  director  Ruth  Podbielski.  Each 
sports  coach  of  the  represented  teams  in- 
troduced their  athletes.  The  event  was  or- 
ganized by  lUP's  Sports  Information 
Office.

THANKS  EXTENDED  TO  COACHES  AND  ATHLETES 

Sports  Clubs  And 
Intramurals  Recognized 


These  fifty  pages  are  not  enough  to  con- 
tain all  of  the  outstanding  sports  activities 
which  take  place  at  lUP  on  more  than  a 
varsity  level. 

lUP  has  several  excellent  sports  clubs 
that  are  not  directly  sponsored  by  the  uni- 
versity. Teams  such  as  the  Rugby  Football 
Club  (Pg.  168),  the  lUPisces  (Pg.  151),  the 
Apache  Ice  Hockey  team,  the  Equestrian 
team  and  the  Men's  Volleyball  team  have 
achieved  great  success  during  the  year. 

Also  on  the  lUP  sports  scence  are  the 
numerous  intramural  programs  organized 
by  Royden  Grove  and  his  staff.  The  vari- 


ety and  enjoyment  that  can  be  found  in 
these  programs  makes  them  a  great  asset 
to  lUP. 

The  Oak  staff  would  like  to  take  this 
opportunity  to  thank  all  of  the  coaches 
and  athletes  who  helped  us  with  this  sec- 
ton.  We  would  also  like  to  thank  Larry 
Judge  and  Pat  Pettina  of  Sports  Informa- 
tion for  providing  us  with  team  photos  and 
action  shots  (when  we  needed  them). 
Thanks  also  goes  to  Jim  Wakefield  and  his 
staff  for  getting  the  photos  processed.

Student  Dietetic  Assoc. 

The  Student  Dietetic  Association 
is  geared  toward  making  its  mem- 
bers more  aware  of  the  career 
they're  pursuing. 

"Another  one  of  our  activities," 
said  Penny  Grant,  historian  of  the 
association,  "is  helping  the  commu- 
nity in  health  care  as  well  as  other 
areas."  Some  of  these  activities  in- 
clude participation  in  the  yearly 
Health  Fair  at  the  Indiana  Mall  and 
taking  part  in  the  Visitors  to  the 
Aged  program. 

Some  of  the  events  that  the  group 
sponsors  for  itself  include  a  Career 
Day  every  spring,  where  students 
can  listen  to  speakers  from  the  field 
of  dietetics,  a  Christmas  party  and  a 
spring  picnic. 

The  Student  Dietetic  Association 
was  approved  by  the  SGA  Oct.  19,

"The  Office  Administration  Club 
is  a  small  club  with  a  lot  of  potential.

many  areas  of  office  work  that  serves 
others,"  replied  Darla  Arnold,  a 
member  of  the  club  for  two  years.

lUP  Ambassadors 

lUP  Ambassadors  is  an  organiza- 
tion designed  to  promote  and  repre- 
sent lUP  through  visiting  dignitaries, 
international  exchange  students  and 
professors. 

During  the  year  the  group  partici- 
pated in  the  cogeneration  ground- 
breaking, the  activities  fair,  lUP 
alumnae  brunches  at  football 
games,  hosted  receptions  for  the  in- 
ternational exchange  students  and 
faculty  and  participated  in  lUP's 
2(Dth  anniversary  celebration. 

According  to  Jocelyn  Bleakley, 
lUP  Ambassadors  is  a  unique  group 
because  it  gives  students  the  oppor- 
tunity to  meet  new  and  interesting 
people.

lUPisces 

Picture  a  sport  that  combines  the 
strength  and  endurance  of  a  long- 
distance runner  with  the  agility  and 
grace  of  a  ballerina,  then  put  it  un- 
der water. 

What  you  may  come  up  with  is 
synchronized  swimming.  lUP's  ver- 
sion of  this  sport  comes  in  the  form 
of  the  lUPisces. 

The  lUPisces  were  founded  in 
1975.  One  of  the  team's  main  pur- 
poses is  to  advance  the  knowledge 
of  synchronized  swimming  in  syn- 
chro, as  a  sport  and  as  a  form  of 
entertainment,  according  to  team 
member  Wendy  Stroup, 

"Not  too  many  people  are  aware 
that  lUP  has  a  synchro  team,"  she 
said. 

Synchro  is  a  form  of  underwater 
ballet  that  entails  team  members  do- 
ing moves  simultaneously.  This  re- 
quires perfect  timing  by  the  swim- 
mers as  well  as  the  ability  to  hold 
their  breath  for  long  periods  of  time 
since  they  are  usually  underwater. 

After  long  practices  at  Zink  Pool, 
the  team  took  their  show  to  meets  at 
Vassar  and  to  the  state  champion- 
ships at  Penn  State.  They  then 
moved  on  to  regionals,  where  they 
placed  very  well  last  year.  Their  ulti- 
mate goal  is  the  national  champion- 
ships, for  which  they  qualified  last 
year. 

Besides  their  contribution  to  lUP 
sports,  the  girls  have  also  become 
involved  in  other  campus  activities. 
They  sponsored  Jeff  Brooks,  Mr. 
lUP,  in  this  year's  pageant. 

With  the  recognition  they  have  re- 
ceived in  competitions  as  well  as 
their  outside  activities,  the  lUPisces 
are  well  on  their  way  to  making  a 
name  for  themselves.

Activities 
Board 


The  Activities  Board  (AB)  is  a  stu- 
dent organization  responsible  for 
the  majority  of  the  entertainment  on 
the  lUP  campus. 

AB  is  headed  by  Janet  Kirchner, 
chairwoman.  It  is  broken  down  into 
the  following  committees:  contem- 
porary music,  film  and  video,  special 
events,  recreation,  hospitality,  pub- 
lic relations,  and  graphics.  Each  of 
these  is  also  headed  by  a 
chairperson. 

AB  sponsors  the  weekend  movies 
on  campus  as  well  as  TGIF's.  TGIF's 
were  held  two  Fridays  in  the  student 
union  in  the  fall  semester.  A  local 
band  played  all  afternoon  for  no 
charge. 

AB  brought  three  comedians  to 
lUP  in  the  fall  of  1985,  Yakov  Smir- 
noff, Andy  Andrews,  and  Edward 
Jackson.  They  sponsored  a  Tina  Fa- 
brique  concert  in  Fisher  Auditorium 
on  Nov.  1,  1985. 

Other  events  which  AB  spon- 
sored in  the  fall  of  1985  are  as  fol- 
lows: a  video  dance,  casino  night, 
"Pieces  of  a  Dream"  which  was  co- 
sponsored  with  the  Black  Cultural 
Center,  and  "We  Can  Make  You 
Laugh." 

In  the  spring  they  sponsored 
"Spring  Weekend"  April  24-27. 
Dan  Peek,  former  member  of  the 
group  America,  was  featured  in  his 
concert  in  the  Flagstone  Theater  on 
the  27th. 

Spring  also  brought  the  appear- 
ance of  three  more  comedians:  Jeff 
Justice,  Alex  Cole,  and  Tom  Deluca. 

The  AB  concerts  for  the  spring 
semester  were  Haywire  on  Jan.  24, 
Joey  G.  and  the  Brick  Alley  Band  on 
Feb.  1 ,  Modern  Man  on  March  21 ,  a 
Speidel,  Goodrich  and  Lille  on 
April  27.  "Star  Search"  and  "Wheel 
of  Fortune"  were  two  special  events 
sponsored  by  AB  in  the  Spring  of 
1986.

RHA 


lUP's  Residence  Hall  Association, 
(RHA),  serves  a  very  important  func- 
tion to  any  student  living  in  the 
dorms. 

RHA  is  the  campuswide  organiza- 
tion that  provides  a  direct  link  to  the 
students  and  their  concerns  about 
the  residence  halls.  It  is  made  up  of 
students  who  try  to  bring  the  resi- 
dents in  the  dorms  together  through 
sponsored  activities. 

"We  serve  as  their  voice,  while 
bringing  them  together  in  activities 
of  enjoyment  and  hard  work,"  said 
RHA  member  Marianne  Morabito. 
"We  hold  many  programs  through- 
out the  year  in  hopes  of  gaining  in- 
terest and  support  in  RHA." 

lUP's  RHA  is  part  of  the  national 
organization  known  as  NACURH 
(National  Association  of  College  and 
University  Residence  Halls).  It  was 
established  in  lUP  in  1973. 

Throughout  the  1985-86  school 
year,  RHA  was  active  in  many  differ- 
ent ways.  They  held  the  annual 
haunted  house  in  Whitmyre  Hall 
and  a  dance  at  Steady  Mick's,  both 
which  benefited  UNICEF  and  the 
Alice  Paul  House.  They  also  held 
candy  and  flower  sales  to  raise  mon- 
ey for  programs  free  to  students, 
such  as  two  RHA  sponsored  movies, 
"Ghostbusters"  and  "The  Karate 
Kid." 

Through  these  programs,  RHA 
hopes  to  gain  interest  and  support 
from  as  many  students  as  possible. 
RHA  is  always  willing  to  accept  peo- 
ple who  want  to  be  involved.

Club 


The  Food  Service  and  Lodging 
club  exposes  its  members  to  profes- 
sionals, through  guest  speakers  and 
other  activities,  which  encourages 
them  to  expect  more  from  them- 
selves and  to  aim  for  higher  goals, 
according  to  Lisa  Herring,  the  club's 
president. 

The  guest  speakers  from  the  food 
service  industry  talked  to  the  club 
during  its  regular  monthly  meetings. 
They  helped  the  students  to  know 
what  is  happening  in  the  industry 
and  what  to  expect  when  they  begin 
the  job  search.  Participation  in  the 
Pennsylvania  Restaurant  Association 
Trade  Show  February  21  and  22  was 
another  example  of  how  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Food  Service  and  Lodg- 
ing Club  gained  exposure  to  the 
professional  world. 

Sponsoring  booths  at  the  Home- 
coming Carnival  and  The  Activities 
Fair  in  October,  and  holding  a  se- 
nior breakfast  on  May  10  were  some 
of  the  other  activities  the  group  was 
involved  in. 

One  of  the  club's  most  outstand- 
ing events  was  the  4th  Annual  Mad- 
rigal Feast  on  Dec.  8.  The  Madrigal 
Feast,  which  is  an  old  Elizabethan 
style  dinner,  was  held  as  a  scholar- 
ship fundraiser.  The  club,  which  en- 
listed the  help  of  the  music  depart- 
ment to  perform  at  the  feast,  sold  200 
tickets  for  the  event  held  in  the  Blue 
Room  of  Sutton  Hall. 

The  club,  which  began  as  the 
Hospitality  Management  Club,  was 
started  by  Alan  Woods,  the  former 
chairperson  of  the  department  of 
food  and  nutrition,  for  all  the  majors 
in  the  department.

their  members  have  an  opportunity 
to  attend  the  PHEA  Student  Mem- 
ber Section  Fall  workshop  which 
was  held  this  year  at  the  Seton  Hill

concerned  with  are:  food  and  nutri- 
tion, home  economics  education, 
child  development  and  family  rela- 
tions, consumer  services,  interior 
design,  and  fashion  merchandising. 

Ruth  Yeakel,  a  senior  who  has 
been  involved  in  HEA  for  three 
years,  comments  favorably  on  HEA. 
"HEA  gives  the  students  a  chance  to 
gain  pre-professional  experience 
and  an  opportunity  to  meet  students 
and  professionals  in  their  field."

and  attends  AMA  luncheons  in  Pitts- 
burgh. This  close  association  brings 
students  in  contact  with  marketing 
professionals  who  can  offer  future 
employement  opportunities.  Other

members  are  encouarged  to  be- 
come active  whthin  their  organiza-

advertising  and  promotions,  stated 
that  he  tried  to  use  new,  creative 
ideas  to  advertise  the  group's  activi- 
ties to  interested  students.  He  feels 
that  the  experience  as  an  officer 
should  help  with  his  career  in  mar-

1986  officers  included  president  Su- 
san Patton  and  vice-presidents  Mon- 
ica Curry,  John  Fletcher,  Mark  King

increase  our  communication  skills 
and  gave  us  opportunities  to  interact 
with  marketing  professionals  in  or- 
der to  give  us  a  realistic  view  of  what 
a  career  in  marketing  involves,"  said 
Mark  King;  vice-president  of

ment in  mathematics. 

The  group  is  in  the  Pa.  Zeta  Chap- 
ter and  was  chartered  on  May  6, 
1965.  Kappa  Mu  Epsilon  is  also  a 
member  of  the  Association  of  Na- 
tional Honor  Societies. 

Regular  meetings  are  held  once  a 
month  and  they  feature  speakers 
that  cover  some  aspect  of  mathemat- 
ics. National  and  regional  conven- 
tions of  Kappa  Mu  Epsilon  are  held 
and  the  members  are  encouraged  to 
attend.  Students  who  belong  to  the 
group  are  also  encouraged  to  at- 
tend. Students  who  belong  to  the 
group  are  also  encouraged  to  pre- 
sent papers  about  mathematics. 

According  to  Ida  Z.  Arms,  advisor 
for  Kappa  Mu  Epsilon,  "Being  a 
member  ...  is  not  only  a  recognition 
of  students'  academic  achievements 
in  college,  but  it  is  an  added  aspect 
upon  graduation."

Unique  Clubs  Offer  Diversions 


lUP  has  a  vast  variety  of  groups  and 
organizations  available  to  offer  interested 
students  unigue  college  experiences. 

Over  one  hundred  organizations  are 
recognized  by  the  university.  These 
groups  offer  diverse  activities  including 
bowling,  dancing,  racquetball,  syncron- 
ized  swimming  as  well  as  pre-professional 
and  political  experiences. 

tUP  organizations  offer  excitement  and 
entertainment  to  the  everyday  monotony 
of  academic  life. 

The  Activities  Board  provided  lUP  stu- 
dents with  Friday  and  Saturday  night 
movies  that  were  actually  affordable  on  a 
college  budget.  The  Equestrian  Club  pro- 
vided collegiate  competition  for  skilled 
riders. 

Other  groups  provided  valuable  ser- 
vices to  the  Indiana  community  as  well  as 
the  students.  The  Alpha  Phi  Omega  Book 
Exchange  in  the  Fall  and  Spring  semes- 
ters gave  everyone  a  break  from  Co-Op 
book  prices.  Members  of  the  Student  Ac- 
counting Association  participated  in  the 
VITA  (Volunteer  Income  Tax  Assistance) 
program  which  allowed  accounting  stu- 


dents to  gain  experience  preparing  taxes 
while  helping  elderly  and  lower  income 
Indiana  residents.  Another  beneficial  or- 
ganization was  Vistors  to  the  Aged  which 
gave  lUP  Students  the  opportunity  to  so- 
cialize with  residents  of  local  rest  homes. 
Big  Brothers  and  Big  Sisters  allowed  col- 
lege students  to  offer  friendship  and  guid- 
ance to  Indiana  children  while  enjoying 
the  companionship  of  a  youngster. 

Many  of  the  club  sports  enjoyed  im- 
pressive records  during  the  1985-86  se- 
mesters. Among  these  outstanding  clubs 
were  the  Indiana  Rugby  Football  Club, 
Men's  Volleyball  Club  and  the  lUPisces 
Synchronized  Swimming  team.  The  Rug- 
by Club  took  third  place  in  the  Alleghany 
Rugby  Union  and  won  the  Sugar  Cup. 
The  Men's  Volleyball  Club  continued  to 
beat  many  of  its  Division  II  opponents  this 
season.  The  lUPisces  took  first  place  in 
state  and  regional  meets  and  sixth  place  in 
the  Intercollegiate  Open. 

All  of  the  club  sports  provided  lUP  stu- 
dents with  the  opportunity  to  participate 
in  non-varsity  sports  and  do  a  great  deal  of 
hard  work  with  limited  funding;  each  club 


deserves  commendation  for  their  fine  ef- 
forts regardless  of  season  record. 

The  lUP  students  are  fortunate  to  have 
the  numerous  unique  organizations  to  en- 
rich their  college  experience.

I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to 
thank  all  the  organizations  that  showed 
their  interest  and  support  for  the  OAK.  I 
would  also  like  to  thank  the  liason  mem- 
bers who  helped  identify  the  group  pic- 
tures and  answered  endless  questions 
about  their  organizaiton.  Special  thanks 
are  extended  to  James  P.  Trostle  (JAPE)  for 
the  feature  cartoon;  thanks  for  adding  a 
special  touch  to  the  organizations  section.

Alpha 

Phi 

Omega 


"Service  can  be  fun,"  publicity 
chairman  John  Jackson  said  con- 
cerning Alpha  Phi  Omega. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega,  national  ser- 
vice fraternity,  is  co-ed  and  has  95 
brothers. 

The  Mu  Chi  chapter  ws  founded 
on  campus  December  6,  1959. 

Dr.  Richard  Lamberski  and  Mrs. 
Elaine  Carbaugh  advise  the 
fraternity. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega  donates  85% 
of  its  income  to  organizations  such  as 
the  Red  Cross,  Boy  Scouts  and  cam- 
pus groups.  They  also  provide  the 
book  exchange,  participate  in  the  30 
hour  fast,  the  Blood  Mobile  and  as- 
sist some  of  the  Nev/man  Center's 
activities.  Each  year  the  fraternity 
holds  the  Homecoming  King  and 
Queen  and  their  court  on  its  float. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega's  colors  are 
blue  and  gold,  and  their  flower  is  the 
forget-me-not.  John  Jackson  and 
Marianne  Monteverde  were  the 
sweethearts  for  1985-86.  The  nation- 
al headguarters  are  in  Kansas  City, 
Missouri. 

The  motto  is  "be  a  leader,  be  a 
friend,  be  of  service." 

One  brother,  Lori  Callaway,  said, 
"I  think  Alpha  Phi  Omega  is  the  best 
thing  that  happened  to  me.  You  get 
what  you  put  into  it.  The  people  are 
caring  and  that's  what  unites  us." 

President  Kevin  Carrai  said,  "The 
brothers  of  Alpha  Phi  Omega  are  a 
very  diverse  people.  Each  has  a 
unique  personality.  Service  is  the 
force  that  binds  us  in  our  organiza- 
tion. Every  brother  is  willing  to  give 
up  his  time  to  help  others."

The 
Criminology 

Club 


Organized  at  lUP  in  1978,  the 
Criminology  Club  gives  criminolo- 
gy majors  a  chance  to  become  more 
knowledgeable  about  the  criminal 
justice  program.  The  group  is  spe- 
cial because  the  upperclassmen  at- 
tempt to  help  others  with  schedules 
and  all  members  broaden  their 
knowledge  of  the  criminal  justice 
field. 

"Together  we  can  experience  dif- 
ferent aspects  of  criminology  that  in 
our  future  may  help  better  or  widen 
the  range  of  accomplishments  in  the 
criminal  justice  field,"  President  Tra- 
cy Bunner  said.  To  do  this,  she  says, 
the  club  invites  speakers  from  the 
Pennsylvania  State  Police,  Secret 
Service  and  the  Western  Penitentia- 
ry to  give  members  insight  in  the 
field.  The  club  is  also  planning  on 
attending  the  Federal  Bureau  of  In- 
vestigation Academy. 

The  group  participates  in  the 
Homecoming  Carnival  and  the  Ac- 
tivities Fair.

Lambda  Alpha  Epsilon  is  a  nation- 
al organization  founded  in  1937  and 
is  located  in  Sacramento,  California. 
lUP's  Alpha  Sigma  chapter  began  in 
1973. 

During  the  1985-1986  year  the 
group  attended  an  FBI  training 
academy  in  Quantico,  Virgina.  The 
group  also  had  speakers  from  the 
secret  service,  Pennsylvania  State 
Police  and  Western  Penitentiary. 
The  group  is  presently  working  on 
beginning  a  security  department  at 
lUP. 

According  to  Mark  Simon,  the 
group  is  special  because  it  provides 
members  with  the  opportunity  to 
learn  a  great  deal  about  the  criminal 
justice  field  through  speakers,  train- 
ing and  job  placement.

Assoc- 


The  lUP  Student  Government  As- 
sociation is  the  officially  recognized

According  to  SGA  members,  the 
organization  "works  to  ensure  that 
the  needs  and  concerns  of  students 
are  actively  voiced  and  addressed  in 
the  ongoing  evolution  of  the 
university."

Pershing 
Rifles 


The  history  of  the  Pershing  Rifles 
originated  in  1892  at  the  University 
of  Nebraska  from  a  drill  team  creat- 
ed by  John  J.  Pershing,  America's 
first  general  of  the  Army.  The  frater- 
nity grew  nationwide  promoting 
leadership,  proficiency,  self -disci- 
pline, and  scholarship.  On  the  lUP 
campus,  Pershing  Rifles  was  found- 
ed in  1961.  The  organization  be- 
came a  national  honor  society,  open 
to  men  and  women  in  the  university. 

There  were  many  activities  they 
participated  m.  They  provided  color 
guards  for  all  home  football  and  bas- 
ketball games.  Homecoming  and 
Veterans'  Day  parades,  Dr.  Welty's 
investiture,  commencement  and 
ROTC  functions.  In  the  spring  they 
travelled  to  regional  competition  in 
the  New  Jersey  and  National  Com- 
petition at  Purdue  University  to  per- 
form precision  marching  and  rifle 
movements. 

Pershing  Rifles  is  the  only  group 
on  campus  who  does  color  guard 
and  other  ceremonies  and  who  com- 
petes with  other  universities  in  stan- 
dard drill  and  "trick"  drill. 

"Pershing  Rifles  has  made  me  bet- 
ter disciplined,  provided  opportuni- 
ties for  leadership,  and  helps  me  to 
get  the  job  done  efficiently,"  replied 
Daniel  Foster  when  asked  what  Per- 
shing Rifles  had  done  for  him.

Football 


The  Indiana  Rugby  Football  Club 
provides  lUP  students  with  the  op- 
portunity to  participate  in  a  physical- 
ly demanding  team  sport.  The  Toot- 
ers  are  members  of  the  Allegheny 
Rugby  Union  and  competed  in  nu- 
merous matches  and  tournaments  in 
both  Fall  and  Spring  semesters. 

The  1985-86  season  included  ten 
games  and  two  tournaments  in  the 
Fall  as  well  as  nine  games  and  two 
tournaments  in  the  Spring.  In  the 
Fall,  the  Tooters  took  first  place  at 
the  California  State  University  Tour- 
nament. They  also  captured  third 
place  at  the  Allegheny  Rugby  Un- 
ioin  Tournament  held  at  Mingo 
Creek  State  Park.

ana Rugby  Club  has  earned  the  rep- 
utation of  being  a  competitive  force 
within  the  Allegheny  Rugby  Union. 
The  team  boasts  a  7-3  record  for  the 
Fall  season  in  addition  to  the  two 
impressive  tournament  finishes. 

The  team  members  each  have  the 
opportunity  to  participate  in  match 
play;  the  Indiana  Club  has  A  and  B 
sides  which  gave  each  Tooter  the 
chance  to  participate  in  the  one 
hour  and  twenty  minute  matches. 
After  each  match  the  home  team 
hosted  a  beer  party  where  "grudges 
were  forgotten  and  singing  and 
commaradery  were  practiced."

Phi 
Gamma  Nu 


"Phi  Gamma  Nu  offers  career  op- 
portunities to  future  businesswomen 
and  gives  them  the  confidence  to  be 
professionals  in  the  business  world," 
according  to  Karen  Sayers,  presi- 
dent of  lUP's  chapter,  Gamma  Xi. 

Founded  in  1924  at  Northwestern 
University,  the  organization  was 
formed  to  foster  the  study  of  busi- 
ness, to  encourage  high  scholarship 
and  participation,  to  promote  profes- 
sional competency  and  achieve- 
ment and  to  further  the  high  stan- 
dard of  business  ethics. 

The  chapter  is  the  only  honorary 
business  organization  affiliated  with 
a  national  organization.  In  addition, 
the  group  has  won  the  National 
Scholarship  Cup  for  the  chapter 
with  the  highest  average  grade 
point  for  the  past  five  years. 

The  organization  hosts  a  variety  of 
events — among  them,  several  fund- 
raisers, a  Halloween  date  party  and 
a  spring  formal.  It  also  observes  its 
Founder's  Day  Feb.  17  and  hosts  two 
professional  speakers  each 
semester.

and  a  3.0  overall  GPA.  They  must 
also  be  at  least  second  semester 
sophomores. 

These  qualifications  are  rare  in  a 
student,  but  once  a  student  achieves 
them  and  becomes  a  member  of 
Gamma  Rho  Tau  the  student  is  kept 
involved  if  that  is  what  they  want. 

"It  (Gamma  Rho  Tau)  really  makes 
every  member  get  involved.  If  you 
want  to  be  kept  busy  and  get  in- 
volved you  can,"  Paula  Parke,  com- 
mittee coordinator,  said. 

Mr.  Donald  Robbins  was  the  advi- 
sor. Denise  Componation  was  the 
president  for  the  fall  1985  semester. 
Karen  Anderson  was  the  president 
for  the  spring  1986  semester. 

The  fraternity  sponsored  speakers 
and  organized  the  Business  Day 
held  April  9,  1986.  They  also  sent  six 
business  students  to  a  conference  in 
New  York. 

Gamma  Rho  Tau  offers  a  scholar- 
ship to  the  business  student  who 
combines  high  academic  standings 
and  involvement  in  campus  and 
community  projects. 

Last  year's  recipient  of  the  schol- 
arship was  Curt  Erich,  member  of 
Gamma  Rho  Tau. 

"The  organization  has  provided  me 
with  a  lot  of  valuable  information  for 
the  future,"  Erich  said.

WiUP-TV,  the  only  natjondl  net- 
work college  television  affiliate  in 
Pennsylvania,  provides  interested 
students  with  the  opportunity  to  be 
trained  in  all  aspects  of  television 
broadcast  and  production. 

Lee  larocki,  who  works  with 
WIUP-TV,  said,  "It  (the  station)  pro- 
vides students  with  working  experi- 
ence in  the  media  field." 

The  station,  which  first  went  on 
the  air  in  June  1974  as  CIUP-TV,  was 
renovated  and  renamed  WIUP-TV 
in  1983.  It  strives  to  provide  the  uni- 
versity and  the  Indiana  community 
with  the  best  possible  programming. 
WIUP-TV  is  the  only  television  sta- 
tion in  Indiana  and  the  only  student 
operated  television  facility  in 
Pennsylvania. 

WIUP — TV  made  many  improve- 
ments in  the  1985-86  school  year 
and  programming  was  extended  to 
eight  hours  a  day,  five  days  a  week. 
In  the  studios  located  in  Davis  Hall, 
programs  are  produced  and  some 
are  broadcast  on  Cablevision  25  in 
Johnstown.  Home  lUP  football  and 
basketball  games  were  recorded 
and  aired  on  both  WIUP-TV  and  the 
Johnstown  station. 

The  station  also  taped  and  aired 
all  the  Indiana  High  School  football 
games  for  the  first  time. 

Special  and  instructional  shows 
were  also  produced  for  The  Henry 
George  Schoq^l  of  Social  Science, 
the  Academfo  Computer  depart- 
ment, Special  Olympics,  Parts 
World  of  Dubois  and  the  Communi- 
cations Media  department. 

Many  campus  and  community 
events,  such  as  lUP's  20th  anniver- 
sary, the  investiture  of  President 
John  D.  Welty,  Record-A-Child  with 
WDAD  and  Alexander  Haig  were 
covered  during  the  1985-86  school 
year. 

The  station  also  produces  five  reg- 
ular weekly  shows.  These  are  a 
"Lecture  Series"  (a  talk  show  with 
guests  from  Indiana),  "Storytime" 
(for  children),  "IndianAction"  (news 
and  sports  from  the  Indiana  and  sur- 
rounding areas)  and  "In  Our  Neigh- 
borhood" (a  talk  show  with  host 
Gene  Thibadeau,  a  philosophy 
professor). 

WIUP-TV  also  has  two  formals. 
And  in  1985,  they  entered  their  first 
float  in  the  Homecoming  parade, 
"Little  Red  Riding  Hood."

The  Penn 


It  was  almost  like  a  ritual — every 
Monday,  Wednesday  and  Friday  as 
the  professor  droned  and  your  eye- 
lids got  heavy.  You  would  reach  into 
your  knapsack  and  pull  out  the  day's 
issue  of  the  Penn.  Putting  each  issue 
together  was  a  ritual  m  itself. 

Two  days  before  each  issue,  the 
business  staff  would  go  to  work  with 
nine  ad  reps  scouring  the  Indiana 
area  for  ads  to  appear  in  the  Penn. 
Sometimes  it  was  easy,  other  times 
advertising  director  Theresa 
Wachna  would  step  in  to  help.  Busi- 
ness manager  Ed  Boito  kept  the  pa- 
per financially  solvent  and  gave  out 
his  monthly  good  news,  "Your  guota 
of  advertising  inches  for  this  month 
is  ...  " 

After  the  business  staff  called  it  a 
day,  production  manager  Roger 
Barnhart  and  half  of  his  staff,  would 
start  putting  the  ads  together,  typing 
each  ad  and  laying  it  out.  They 
would  also  type  the  personals  and 
other  classifieds  for  the  upcoming 
paper.  Usually  the  job  was  done  in 
four  or  five  hours,  but  some  issues 
kept  the  staff  too  busy  too  long.  Ad 
production  for  each  of  the  registra- 
tion issues  took  almost  three  days. 

Early  the  next  morning,  24  hours 
before  the  paper  was  printed,  The- 
resa Wachna  would  determine  the 
size  of  the  paper  based  on  the  num- 
ber of  ads  sold.  After  lunch,  the  edi- 
torial staff  would  come  in,  beginning 
with  the  associate  editors.  These 
three  would  sift  through  the  piles  of 
Associated  Press  stories  that  had 
typed  over  the  wire  throughout  the 
night  and  place  it  on  the  desks  of  the 
news,  features  and  sports  editors. 
When  the  section  editors  came  in, 
they  read  over  the  copy  and  decid- 
ed on  the  content  of  the  next  day's 
Penn,  mixing  staff  and  local  stories 
with  Associated  Press  and  College 
Press  Service  stories.  Meanwhile, 
the  photographers  were  out  shoot- 
ing the  photos  assigned  for  the  issue. 

Once  the  stories  were  set  to  be 
typed,  the  second  half  of  the  pro- 
duction department  moved  in  to 
type  and  journey  the  stories.  After 
dinner,  the  pace  picked  up  as  editor 
Eric  Cotton  and  the  section  editors 
began  designing  pages,   writing

headlines  and  fighting  deadlines. 
Depending  on  how  the  typesetting 
machines  were  behaving,  editorial 
production  could  be  over  by  mid- 
ninght.  Or,  as  the  case  often  was, 
last  until  the  wee  hours  of  the 
morning. 

On  some  occasions,  such  as  the 
Sup)er  Bowl  or  election  nights,  Eric 
Cotton  and  his  crew  would  sit,  wait- 
ing for  stories  to  come  over  the  Asso- 
ciated Press  wire.  Those  nights  were 
the  longest  with  trips  to  Sheetz  and 
office  pranks  breakmg  the  boredom. 
Once  the  story  appeared,  there 
would  be  time  for  editing,  typing 
and  journeying  to  be  done,  some- 
times taking  an  hour  or  two  more. 
And  the  6  a.m.  deadline  got  too 
close  on  a  night  or  two. 

The  next  morning,  the  Penn 
would  hit  campus  after  48  hours  in 
the  making — our  ritual  that  kept  you 
going.  And  awake.

This  year  was  a  big  one  lor  the  Penn.  with 
several  changes  that  had  the  paper  reaching 
lor  a  new  image. 

The  most  important,  and  most  drastic,  was 
Ihe  look  ol  the  paper.  Editor  Eric  Cotton  and 
Brook  Duer,  lealures  editor  lor  Ihe  {all  semes- 
ter, designed  a  new  look  over  Ihe  summer 
and  belore  school  started  in  September,  and 
brought  Ihe  Penn  into  Ihe  dOs  Vrilh  a  more 
modern  look.  With  a  new  masthead,  dillerenl 
headline  styles  and  more  imaginative  layouts. 
Ihe  Penn  established  ilsellas  the  best  paper  in 
the  state  system  ol  higher  education. 

The  Penn  also  changed  its  image  toward 
becoming  a  complete  campus  source — ex- 
tended coverage  ol  campus  events  and  more 
m-deplh  reporting  led  Ihe  way.  Three  editori- 
al assistants  were  also  added  to  the  stall,  dig- 
ging up  the  lads  lor  such  stories  as  lUP's 
snow  removal  methods,  asbestos  at  lUP  and 
the  stale  and  luture  ol  lederal  aid  at  lUP. 

For  the  lirsl  time,  the  Penn  appeared  at 
home  lootball  games,  lollowing  Ihe  Big  Indi- 
ans to  the  conlerence  championship.  An  ex- 
perimental Saturday  issue  was  printed  lor 
Homecoming,  1984.  and  it  was  such  a  suc- 
cess, live  more  issues  were  printed  in  Ihe  lall 
ol  1985  lor  all  home  games. 

For  Ihe  business  side  ol  the  paper.  1985-86 
school  year  was  also  an  important  one.  For 
the  lirsl  lime  in  Ihe  paper's  history.  Ihe  Penn 
grossed  more  than  $200.00 in  advertising  rev- 
enue, pulling  it  third  behind  Ihe  Co-op  Store 
and  Ihe  Athletic  Department  lor  Ihe  amount 
ol  money  raised.  There  were  also  plenty  ol 
personals  this  year,  providing  students  with  a 
cheap  way  to  gel  a  message  through  to 
readers. 

This  was  Ihe  lirsl  lull  year  ol  the  Penn  ollice 
in  Ihe  Hadley  Union  Building,  giving  Ihe  pa- 
per a  new  image,  thai  ol  a  prolessional  orga- 
nization. Despite  a  smaller  ollice  than  Ihe  old 
one  in  Prall,  the  110-plus  stall  ol  Ihe  paper 
made  Ihe  best  ol  it  all,  struggling  with  Ihe 
phone  system  or  running  into  each  other. 

This  past  year  saw  Ihe  Penn  reach  a  new 
image,  but  Ihe  paper  is  still  moving.  Plans  are 
being  laid  lor  a  new  typesetting  system, 
which  will  provide  editors  with  their  own  ter- 
minals and  do  away  with  the  present  Associat- 
ed Press  machine  lor  a  more  modem  setup.

The  Penn 
Ouik  Team 

Can  you  imagine  building  a  replica  of  a 
grand  piano  out  of  chocolate  milk  car- 
tons? That's  what  six  lUP  students  did  by 
taking  part  in  the  Nestle  Quik  Spring 
Break  Challenge. 

Seniors  Eric  Cotton,  Roger  Barnhart, 
Theresa  Wachna,  Tracey  Secrest,  Rob  Fu- 
sia  and  sophomore  Jane  Miller  formed  the 
Penn's  "Quik"  team  and  built  the  piano. 

The  team  orginally  had  10  members, 
but  the  number  dropped  to  six  as  the  time 
consuming  project  began.  According  to 
Cotton  and  Barnhart  each  member  of  the 
team  put  roughly  70  hours  into  the  pro- 
ject; including  workmg  three  Saturdays 
straight  in  some  cases. 

The  project  began  around  the  time  of 
mid-terms.  It  took  the  team  a  month  to 
build  the  piano.  The  idea  to  build  a  grand 
piano  came  from  Miller.  The  team  mem- 
bers all  agreed  upon  the  idea.  They  had 
also  considered  the  Statue  of  Liberty,  but 
decided  it  would  be  too  hard  to  replicate 
because  of  the  great  detail  involved. 


A  grand  piano  in  Gorrell  Recital  Hall 
was  measured  and  checked  for  details. 
The  Quik  piano  was  close  to  a  real  grand 
piano  in  every  respect;  except  the  legs 
were  shorter,  there  were  not  88  keys  and 
there  were  no  strings.  The  piano  had  a  top 
that  raised  and  lowered  and  came  com- 
plete with  pedals. 

Aside  of  Quik  boxes,  the  team  used 
styrofoam  sheets,  cardboard,  three  wood- 
en table  legs,  tape  and  staples  to  build  the 
piano.  They  built  it  piece  by  piece  at  the 
Penn,  storing  the  parts  on  top  of  the  new 
desk  arrangements  and  shelves  in  the 
office. 

The  Quik  piano  was  not  completely  as- 
sembled until  two  days  before  the  final 
deadline  for  pictures.  This  was  the  first 
time  the  piano  was  fully  assembled.  The 
team  members  pieced  it  together  in  the 
multi-purpose  room  of  the  HUB. 

"The  most  frustrating  part  (of  putting 
the  piano  together)  was  the  wobbly  legs," 
said  Barnhart. 


Above:  Barnhart.  Secrest,  tvliller,  Wachna 
and  Cotton  pose  with  the  creation  (Fusia  took

Why  did  these  students  spend  all  this 
time  on  the  project?  A  lust  for  chocolate 
milk?  No,  it  was  a  quest  for  the  grand 
prize,  $10,000  or  an  all-expense  paid  trip 
to  Spring  Break  in  Florida  for  up  to  24 
team  members  compliments  of  the  Nestle 
Corporation.  The  first  prize  was  Honda 
motor  scooters  for  every  team  member, 
and  second  prize  was  Swatch  watches  for 
each  team  member. 

lUP's  Penn  Quik  team  was  one  of  five 
second  place  winners  and  each  of  them 
received  a  Swatch  watch.  They  found  out 
from  Nestle's  that  they  were  only  two 
places  away  from  the  grand  prize.  The 
Penn  Quik  team  was  happy  with  their 
place,  after  all,  the  grand  prize  winners 
built  a  replica  of  the  Mayflower  that 
floated.

reek  life  at  lUP  gives  students  a  chance  to 
develop   friendships    that    will   last   a 
lifetime. 

There  are  19  university  recognized  fraternities 
and  1  7  sororities  on  the  lUP  campus.  All  of  them 
offer  an  individual  a  chance  to  become  involved, 
whether  it  be  a  fund  raiser  or  a  date  party. 

The  social  Greeks  at  lUP are  very  active  on  campus. 
They  sponsor  many  events,  including  Anchor 
Splash,  Derby  Days  and  Greek  Week. 

Each  fraternity  and  sorority  has  its  own  philanth- 
rophy  which  the  members  raise  contributions  for — 
making  these  organizations  more  than  "socialable" 
but  an  asset  to  the  community  as  well.

Alpha  Gamma  Delta 


The  Alpha  Sigma  chapter  of 
Alpha  Gamma  Delta  was  found- 
ed on  campus  Dec.  5,  1959.  The 
sisterhood  consists  of  65  members 
and  numerous  alumnae  who  cel- 
ebrate the  present  and  future  of 
progressive  leadership,  service 
and  self-development  offered  by 
the  organization. 

The  Alpha  Gams  take  pride  in 
their  red  and  buff  roses  and  col- 
ors, which  are  red,  buff  and 
green.  Also,  their  symbol  is  the 
mushroom  and  their  mascot  is  the 
squirrel.  Their  sorority  sweetheart 
is  Theta  Chi  brother,  Jeff  Bevan. 
And  their  advisor  is  Marian 
Abromski  Fiscus. 

Socially,  there  is  always  some- 
thing happening  during  every  se- 
mester that  Alpha  Gamma  Delta 
is  involved  in.  They  host  the  an- 
nual Mr.  lUP  Contest,  and  this 
year's  was  especially  successful. 
The  sisters  earned  approximately 
$3,000  to  benefit  the  Juvenile  Dia- 
betes Foundation  and  the  Inter- 
national Chapter  Memorial 
Foundation. 

Delta  Gamma's  Anchor  Splash, 
the  Dating  Game,  Spring  Fest 
and  mixers  with  fraternities  are 
included  as  AGD  special  activi- 
ties. Also,  the  Alpha  Gamma  Del- 
ta sister  won  a  powder-puff  foot- 
ball game  against  Delta  Zeta. 

"Close,  good  friends  are  an  im- 
portant attribute  in  each  individ- 
ual's life.  Being  a  part  of  Alpha 
Gamma  Delta  sisterhood  pro- 
duces this  type  of  friendship," 
President  Doreen  Weinberger 
said.

The  Alpha  Gamma  chapter  of 
Alpha  Sigma  Alpha  was  founded 
of  the  lUP  campus  Nov.  15,  1904. 

Today  ASA  boasts  a  member- 
ship of  65  sisters.  The  sisters  claim 
rush  as  their  most  important  func- 
tion, and  they  obtained  1  1 
pledges  from  the  spring  rush. 

The  year  proved  to  be  busy 
one  for  the  sisters.  In  the  fall, 
ASA's  and  Theta  Chi's  Home- 
coming float  won  fourth  place  in 
the  parade. 

And  April  proved  to  be  the 
busiest  month  for  the  sisters  and 
pledges.  The  sisters  and  pledges 
helped  Sigma  Chi  raise  money 
for  Camp  Orenda,  a  camp  for  the 
mentally  and  physically  disabled 
children,  by  participating  in  Der- 
by Days.  They  also  participated  in 
Greek  Week,  and  in  Greek  Sing 
with  Theta  Xi,  and  they  held  their 
formal  in  Pittsburgh. 

A  special  event  for  ASA  was 
the  opportunity  to  host  this  year's 
State  Day,  when  ASA  sisters  from 
other  universities  met  for  a  lun- 
cheon and  heard  several 
speakers. 

In  between  all  of  these  activi- 
ties, ASA  found  time  to  achieve 
the  second  highest  QPA  for  so- 
rorities on  campus. 

ASA  also  has  a  philanthropy, 
which  through  individual  contri- 
butions and  annual  contributions 
from  each  collegiate  and  alum- 
nae chapter,  provides  national 
scholarships  to  the  sisters.  The  na- 
tional headquarters  are  located  in 
Springfield,  Mo. 

ASA's  motto  is  Aspire,  Seek, 
Attain;  its  flowers  are  the  aster, 
narcissus  and  daisy;  its  colors  are 
crimson,  pearl,  palm  green  and 
gold;  and  its  mascots  are  Rag- 
gedy Ann  and  Andy.  The  soror- 
ity's philanthropy  is  Special 
Olympics,  which  they  volunteer 
time  to  each  year.

"Delta  Nu  Chapter  of  Kappa 
Delta  has  had  a  busy  year,"  ac- 
cording to  President  Lynne 
Todd.  "We've  really  tried  to  get 
involved  in  campus,  community 
and  charitable  activites." 

This  year  the  50  members  of 
Kappa  Delta,  which  was  founded 
at  lUP  December  1968,  were 
proud  to  have  their  Madonna, 
Nancy  Knox,  represent  lUP  at  a 
regional  competition  sponsored 
by  Students  Against  MS,  SAMS. 
Knox  won  the  lUP  campus  Rock- 
Alike  competition  sponsored  by 
SAMS  on  March  1. 

"We're  very  proud  of  Nancy," 
Todd  said.  "She  and  all  the  mem- 
bers worked  really  hard  on  this 
project.  We  raised  almost  $1,000 
for  MS." 

Under  the  direction  of  their 
advisor.  Dr.  Sandra  Newell,  Kap- 
pa Delts  have  also  raised  money 
for  their  philanthropies.  National 
Committee  for  the  Prevention  of 
Child  Abuse,  Children's  Hopsital 
in  Richmond,  Va.,  and  Parents 
Anonymous  of  Indiana  County, 
by  sponsoring  their  fifth  annual 
Dating  Game,  held  March  4. 

Members  of  the  sorority  have 
also  made  reindeer  for  the  pa- 
tients at  Children's  Hospital, 
worked  with  the  staff  of  lUP's 
Chemical  Health  Program  to  do  a 


telephone  survey  on  the  drinking 
habits  of  lUP  students,  donated 
money  to  the  Newman  Center 
Bread  Basket,  worked  at  Red 
Cross  blood  drives  and,  with  the 
brothers  of  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  went 
Christmas  caroling)  at  Indian  Ha- 
ven Home. 

Besides  civic  and  charitable 
projects.  Kappa  Delta  was  in- 
volved in  various  social  activities 
this  year. 

For  example,  Kappa  Delta  and 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity  won 
nineth  place  during  Homecom- 
ing with  their  float  "Winnie  the 
Pooh."  During  Greek  Sing,  Kap- 
pa Delta  and  Sigma  Chi  Fraterni- 
ty entertained  the  audience  with 
a  dance  choreographed  to  "Hey, 
Big  Spender." 

The  sorority  also  had  one  of  its 
members,  Joya  Comer,  as  the 
Panhellenic  Council  Secretary. 

"I'm  proud  of  my  sisters,"  Todd 
said,  "because  they  try  to  get  inv- 
loved  in  a  variety  of  campus  and 
community  organizations  and 
activities. 

"KD,  'the  real  me'  is  our  local 
motto,  and  we  pride  ourselves  on 
our  uniqueness  and  individuality.- 
We  try  to  strive  for  that  which  is 
honorable,  beautiful  and  highest, 
just  like  our  open  motto  says."

Phi  Delta  Theta 


"All  for  one  and  one  for  all"  is 
the  motto  of  the  Phi  Delta  Theta 
fraternity. 

The  brothers  have  lived  up  to 
this  motto  by  becoming  very  ac^ 
five  on  the  lUP  campus.  In  Octo- 
ber, the  brothers  held  their  sec- 
ond annual  haunted  house  to 
raise  money  for  the  American 
Cancer  Society. 

Besides  participating  in  Home- 
coming and  the  usual  Greek 
events,  Phi  Delts  had  the  honor  of 
winning  Greek  Sing  in  April  with 
Delta  Zeta. 

The  fraternity  also  made  a 
move  to  unite  the  Indiana  com- 
munity with  lUP  by  sponsoring 
Spring  Fest  '86.  The  idea  was 
originated  by  Greg  Varner,  a 
brother,  to  raise  money  for  Camp 
Orenda  in  Indiana  and  United 
Cerebral  Palsey.  The  carnival, 
run  in  conjunction  with  Theta  Phi 
Alpha  and  local  businesses,  fea- 
tured food,  music,  information 
booths  and  crafts.  Special  events 
for  the  carnival  featured  a  101- 
hour  basketball  bounce. 

Although  Phi  Delta  Theta  is 
one  of  lUP's  newest  fraternities,  it 
is  also  one  of  the  largest  and  one 
of  the  most  active.

PA  Nu  chapter  of  Phi  Kappa 
Psi  Fraternity  has  been  on  the 
lUP  campus  since  Feb.  7,  1970. 
This  year  the  41  members  of  Phi 
Psi,  under  the  direction  of  their 
advisor,  Bert  Smith,  have  won  the 
Dean's  Cup,  which  is  presented 
annually  to  the  best  all-around 
fraternity.  This  is  the  fifth  year 
they  have  won  this  honor. 

This  fall  the  Phi  Psi's  teamed 
with  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  to  build  a 
Homecoming  float  based  on  the 
children's  story  of  "Hansel  and 
Gretel."  In  December,  they  went 
Christmas  caroling  with  Kappa 
Delta  to  entertain  the  residents  of 
Indian  Haven  Home. 

On  April  13  Phi  Psi  and  Alpha 
Xi  Delta  entertained  the  Greek 
Sing  audience  with  their  rendi- 
tion of  "Animal  House."  On  April 
19,  the  fraternity  sponsored  their 
successful  Superdance  for  MDA. 
This  was  a  12-hour  event  de- 
signed to  raise  money  for  their 
philanthropy,  the  Muscular  Dys- 
trophy Association. 

According  to  President  Tim 
Warner,  the  brothers  of  Phi  Kap- 
pa Psi  like  to  think,  "There  is  a 
destiny  that  makes  us  brothers, 
none  goes  his  way  alone.  All  that 
we  send  into  the  lives  of  others 
comes  back  into  our  own." 

Warner  would  also  like  to  ex- 
press his  appreciation  to  the 
brothers  and  their  sweetheart, 
Kimberly  White,  by  saying, 
"Thanks  to  all  the  brothers,  Phi 
Psi  has  had  another  great  year. 
Our  united  brotherhood  contin- 
ues to  be  one  of  the  best  on  cam- 
pus. Phi  Psi  congratulates  all  the 
graduating  seniors."

Phi  Mu 


The  Phi  Mu  sorority  (officially  a 
fraternity)  with  58  members  was 
founded  at  lUP  m  1950.  They  are 
the  Beta  Sigma  chapter  and  their 
national  headquarters  is  in  Tuck- 
er, Ga.  Beth  Duncan  is  their 
advisor. 

Phi  Mu's  flower  is  the  rose-col- 
ored carnation  and  their  colors 
are  rose  and  white.  Their  motto  is 
"Les  Souers  Fideles"  and  the  lion 
is  their  mascot.  Bill  Gourdie  is 
their  sweetheart. 

Project  HOPE  is  their  philanth- 
rophy  and  in  the  fall  they  collect 
toys  for  Children's  Hospital  of 
Pittsburgh.  They  also  participate 
with  other  fraternities  and  soror- 
ities in  their  fund  raising  projects. 

Phi  Mu  Niamh  Caherly  said 
that  Phi  Mu  has  added  a  lot  to  her 
life. 

"It's  a  good  experience  be- 
cause of  the  variety  of  things  we 
do  .  .  .  we're  all  very  close,"  she 
said.

The  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  Fraterni- 
ty, better  known  as  Phi  Sigs,  was 
founded  on  the  lUP  campus  in 
1965. 

President  of  Phi  Sigs  for  the 
1985-86  year  was  Lee  Zeller. 

"We  had  a  great  year  and  a  lot 
of  fun,"  he  said. 

The  Phi  Sigs'  philanthropy  is 
the  Ebensburg  Center.  They  col- 
lected money  along  with  lUP's 
Sigma  Kappa  sorority  and 
brought  gifts  to  the  children  in 
the  Center  before  Christmas. 

Phi  Sigs  were  also  involved  in 
intramural  sports  and  homecom- 
ing at  lUP. 

During  Greek  Week  they 
placed  fourth  in  Greek  Sing. 
They  danced  to  the  music  of 
"Chorus  Line"  along  with  Sigma 
Kappa. 

Phi  Sigs  received  the  most  out- 
standing chapter  award  from 
their  national  chapter  in  India- 
napolis, Ind. 

Their  faculty  advisor  is  Dr. 
Garry  Ciskowski.  And  their 
sweethearts  are  Lisa  Perry  and 
Amy  Schirley.

Sigma  Kappa 


This  past  year  the  Gamma-Ep- 
silon  chapter  of  Sigma  Kappa  has 
participated  in  several  events  on 
campus  beginning  with  their 
Homecoming  float  they  built  with 
Theta  Xi  Fraternity.  The  theme 
was  the  "Three  Little  Pigs." 

Sigma  Kappa  also  participated 
m  Delta  Gamma's  Anchor  Splash 
with  Queen  Neptune  candidate 
Linda  DeFazio.  In  the  spnng  Sig- 
ma Kappa  entered  Lisa  Crkvenac 
in  Delta  Gamma's  Beautiful  Eyes 
Contest. 

Two  of  the  sorority's  sisters  en- 
tered Kappa  Delta's  Dating 
Game  and  won.  The  sisters  were 
Heidi  Huck.  and  Roberta  Free- 
denberg.  The  women  and  their 
dates  were  treated  to  a  night  out 
in  Indiana. 

Sigma  Kappa  supports  their 
national  philanthropy,  gerontolo- 
gy, locally  by  visiting  various 
nursing  homes  at  least  once  a 
month  and  helping  out  with 
games  at  the  homes. 

The  sorority  also  participated  in 
a  philanthropic  event  with  Phi 
Sigma  Kappa  Fraternity  by  visit- 
ing the  Home  for  Retarded  Citi- 
zens in  Ebensberg,  Pa. 

At  the  end  of  the  spring  semes- 
ter, Sigma  Kappa  participated  in 
the  annual  Greek  Sing  competi- 
tion with  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  doing 
a  dance  to  a  medley  of  songs 
from  "Chorus  Line." 

The  spring  semester  17  mem- 
bers of  Sigma  Kappa  graduated; 
"So  we're  looking  forward  to 
meeting  a  lot  of  new  girls  next 
year,  hoping  to  be  involved  in 
more  campus  activities  and  work- 
ing to  make  Sigma  Kappa  a  stron- 
ger sorority  than  it  already  is," 
chapter  President  Michelle  Dun- 
lap  said.

The  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma  Soror- 
ity, better  known  as  Tri-Sigs,  have 
51  members  at  lUP. 

They  have  had  an  enjoyable 
and  busy  year,  according  to  Beth 
O'Leary,  Tri-Sig's  president. 

Tri-Sigs  were  involved  in  two 
charitable  events  in  the  Fall  se- 
mester of  1985-86  year.  They 
were  in  a  walk  with  the  Kappa 
Delta  Rho  Fraternity  to  raise  mon- 
ey for  Pittsburgh's  Children's 
Hospital. 

They  also  had  a  balloon  assen- 
tion  at  lUP,  which  raised  money 
for  the  Robbie  Page  Memorial 
Fund,  their  philanthropy. 

"We  enjoyed  these  events," 
Kathy  Barron,  a  Tri-Sig,  said. 
"We  were  so  glad  we  could  do 
something  to  help  people." 

Mrs.  Glott  is  their  advisor.  And 
their  colors  are  royal  purple  and 
white. 

The  Tri-Sigs  had  another 
achievement  this  year  when  they 
received  first  place  in  Derby 
Days,  sponsored  by  Sigma  Chi  to 
raise  money  for  Camp  Orenda. 

They  also  participated  in  Delta 
Gamma's  Anchor  Splash  in  the 
fall  and  Greek  Week  activities, 
held  in  the  the  spring. 

"We  had  a  very  special  and 
productive  year,"  Beth  O'Leary 
said.  "I  am  very  proud  of  all  the 
Tri-Sig  sisters.

Tau  Kappa  Epsilon 


"Being  the  president  of  TKE 
presented  a  definite  challenge," 
Dean  Antonilli  said.  "It  was  a  one 
of  a  kind  learning  experience  that 
I'll  never  forget." 

This  year,  under  the  direction 
of  their  advisor.  Dr.  Richard  Lam- 
berski,  the  48  members  of  Delta 
Rho  Chapter  of  Tau  Kappa  Epsi- 
lon have  been  involved  in  a  vari- 
ety of  activities. 

During  Homecoming  Tekes,  as 
they  are  commonly  known,  and 
Concert  Dancers  took  fourth 
place  with  their  float  based  on  the 
fairytale  "Jack  and  the 
Beanstalk." 

In  October,  the  brothers  and 
little  sisters  had  the  honor  of  see- 
ing their  own  Tony  Giannini  en- 
ter in  Alpha  Gamma  Delta's  Mr. 
lUP  Contest.  He  was  sponsored 
by  Sigma  Kappa.  Also  during  the 
fall,  the  fraternity  took  3rd  place 
in  Delta  Gamma's  Anchor 
Splash. 

During  Greek  Sing  Tekes  and 
Zeta  Tau  Alpha  performed  to 
"Cotton  Club." 

According  to  social  chairman 
Paul  Predmore,  "Tekes  did  well 
during  Greek  Sing  '86,  and  we 
hope  to  do  even  better  next 
year." 

Tekes,  who  were  founded  at 
lUP  Oct.  30,  1979,  raise  money 
for  St.  Jude's  Children's  Hospital, 
their  national  philanthropy. 

This  year  they  worked  with 
their  brother  chapter  from  West 


196  Greeks 


Virginia  on  their  annual  Keg  Roll 
to  raise  money  for  the  hospital. 
The  Keg  started  at  West  Virginia 
and  travelled  to  lUP,  its  final 
destination. 

This  fall  Tekes  sponsored  their 
first  Lift-a-Thon  to  raise  money  for 
the  pediatric  unit  at  Indiana 
Hospital. 

According  to  Predmore,  "Our 
first  Lift-a-Thon,  which  was  based 
on  the  number  of  pounds  a  con- 
testant could  bench  press,  was 
successful,  but  we  hope  to  make  it 
an  annual  event  and  make  each 
year  better  than  the  preceding 
year." 

Predmore  believes  that  by 
working  together,  the  brothers 
and  little  sisters  can  do  a  lot  for 
the  community. 

"Tekes  is  a  fraternity  that  pro- 
motes both  unity  of  brotherhood 
and  little  sisterhood,"  Predmore 
said. 

"America's  fraternity  is  our 
motto,"  Antonilli  said,  "and  we're 
trying  to  live  up  to  it  as  best  we 
can.  We  want  people  to  know 
who  Tekes  are." 

Antonilli  wishes  to  thank  the 
brothers,  little  sisters,  their  sweet- 
heart, Renee  Sabol,  and  their 
mascot,  Jerome,  for  a  job  well 
done. 

"Tekes  will  do  even  better  in 
1987,"  he  said.

"Campus  life  is  not  an  event;  it 
is  an  attitude,"  believes  Theta  Chi 
President  Bob  Purdue,  "And  we 
do  all  that  we  can  to  express  a 
positive  attitude  toward  each  oth- 
er and  everything  we  under- 
take." 

Theta  Chi,  which  came  on  the 
lUP  campus  in  1957,  does  not 
have  one  specific  philanthropy. 
Rather,  the  59  members  of  Epsi- 
Ion  Eta  Chapter,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  their  advisors.  Dr.  John 
Wood  and  Dr.  Neil  Asting,  have 
sponsored  several  activities  and 
events  this  year  to  raise  money  for 
different  civic  and  charitable 
organizations. 

For  instance,  they  sponsored 
Jump  Rope  for  Heart  to  raise 
money  for  the  American  Heart 
Association.  And  with  the  help  of 
nine  sororities  that  participated  in 
the  event,  they  sponsored  a  series 
of  powder-puff  football  games  to 
raise  money  for  Indian  Haven 
Home.  Theta  Chi  also  donated 
money  to  the  Juvenile  Diabetes 
Foundation  and  United  Way.  This 
spring  they  sponsored  the  Theta 
Chi  Marathon  and,  with  the  help 
of  Delta  Zeta  Sorority,  a  Night  at 
the  Races  to  raise  proceeds  for 
this  year's  philanthropies. 

During  Homecoming,  Theta 
Chi  and  Alpha  Sigma  Alpha  So- 
rority won  fifth  place  with  their 
float  based  on  the  story  of 
"Bambi."  During  Greek  Sing, 
Theta  Chi  and  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  Sorority  rocked  to  a  50s 
medley  that  included  "Jail  House 
Rock"  and  "Rock  Around  the 
Clock." 

"Being  president  of  Theta  Chi 
has  made  this  year  extra  special 
for  me,"  Purdue  said.  "Everyone 
from  our  sweetheart,  Lisa  Dudas, 
to  our  mascot,  Natasha,  has 
worked  to  make  Theta  Chi  Frater- 
nity an  organization  to  be  proud 
of,"  he  said. 

"Be  yourself;  be  a  Theta  Chi  is 
our  motto.  And  each  of  us  works 
to  be  the  best  he  can  be,  thereby 
making  Theta  Chi  the  best  it  can 
be.  This  is  what  we  believe  in  and 
strive  for,"  Purdue  said.

Theta  Phi  Alpha 


Have  you  ever  wondered  what 
it  was  like  to  be  a  new  organiza- 
tion? Theta  Phi  Alpha  was  formed 
March  1 ,  1986  with  its  first  pledge 
class  in  the  fall  1986, 

President  Carolyn  Bucher 
started  a  local  sorority,  Beta  Xi  in 
November  1984.  There  was  not 
enough  interest  to  form  a  chap- 
ter, so  Theta  Phi  Alpha  asked  to 
take  over.  Bucher  and  friends  put 
a  lot  of  time  into  becoming  the 
Alpha  Epsilon  chapter  of  Theta 
Phi  Alpha. 

Their  motto,  "Nothing  great  is 
ever  achieved  without  much  en- 
during," is  a  great  example  of 
Bucher  and  her  friends.  Without 
their  endurance,  this  group 
would  not  be  in  existence  today. 

The  43  member  sorority  is  ad- 
vised by  Dr.  Thorton. 

Their  flower  is  the  white  rose 
and  its  colors  are  sapphire  blue, 
silver  and  gold. 

Their  nickname  is  Theta  Phi's. 

Glenmary  Misison  of  Ohio  is 
their  philanthropy  since  it  started 
as  a  Catholic  sorority  in  Michi 
gan.  Their  symbol  is  the  compass. 

Since  the  colors  of  balloons 
represent  individuality  and  swans 
are  graceful,  their  mascots  are 
balloons  and  swans. 

Theta  Phi  Alpha's  activities  in- 
cluded raising  money  for  cere- 
bral palsy  and  Camp  Orenda  for 
handicapped  children.  They  also 
sponsored  the  Spring  Festival 
with  Phi  Delta  Theta. 

The  sorority  was  also  involved 
with  Derby  Days,  Greek  Week 
and  the  Beautiful  Eyes  contest 
which  was  sponsored  by  Delta 
Gamma.  The  first  event  they  par- 
ticipated in  was  Delta  Gamma's

"The  Battle  of  the  Bananas." 


Twenty-four  fraternities  and  sororities 
had  fun  "making  waves"  while  raising 
money  during  Delta  Gamma's  Anchor 
Splash. 

Anchor  Splash  is  an  "almost  anything 
goes"  water  competition  held  in  Zink  pool 
to  raise  money  for  Sight  Conservation  and 
Aid  to  the  Blind.  Participating  groups 
compete  in  various  events  from  freestyle 
relays  to  the  feature  event,  The  Battle  of 
the  Bananas. 

This  fifth  annual  event,  held  on  Nov.  3 
raised  more  than  $2,400  for  Delta  Gam- 
ma's philanthropies  doubling  previous 
years  and  setting  a  record  attendance  at 
the  event. 

Phi  Delta  Theta  fraternity  and  Alpha 
Sigma  Tau  sorority  recaptured  their  first 
place  titles  from  the  previous  year  while 
Alpha  Tau  Omega  fraternity  and  Theta 
Phi  Alpha  sorority  displayed  the  most  en- 
thusiasm during  the  splash  and  received 
the  spirit  award. 

King  and  Queen  Neptune  candidates 
entertained  the  crowd  during  the  beauty 
contest  portion  of  the  the  event.  Alpha 
Tau  Omega's  Brian  Braden  and  Theta  Phi 
Alpha's  Germaine  Bayer  were  crowned 
the  royal  couple  after  being  judged  on 
appearance,  originality  and  presentaion. 

While  the  scores  were  tabulated,  one 
member  from  each  team  participated  in 
The  Battle  of  the  Bananas.  Participants 
dove  into  the  pool  at  the  sound  of  the  gun 
in  search  of  150  floating  bananas.  The 
winners  were  determined  by  the  greatest 
number  of  bananas  they  could  stuff  into 
their  bathing  suits.  The  winners  left  the 
water  with  19  bananas. 

Delta  Gamma  co-chairmen  Debbie  Cox 
and  Cyndi  Nace  put  a  lot  of  time  and  work 
to  see  that  this  year's  event  was  a  success.

Derby  Days 


Sigma  Chi  raised  almost  $500  during  its  12th 
annual  Derby  Days,  an  event  designed  to  raise 
money  for  Camp  Orenda,  a  camp  that  provides 
facilities  for  the  mentally  and  physically  handi- 
capped children  of  Indiana  County  and  its  sur- 
rounding areas. 

Derby  Days,  v/hich  ran  from  April  2-5,  was  de- 
signed with  the  participation  of  sororities  in  mind. 
Throughout  the  course  of  the  event,  the  sororities 
try  to  accumulate  as  many  points  as  possible.  For 
example,  on  the  first  day,  the  participants  decorat- 
ed the  Sigma  Chi  house  according  to  the  year's 
theme,  Derby  "Disney"  Days. 

The  second  night,  the  participants  were  judged 
on  spirit  and  how  well  they  did  in  a  pie  toss  compe- 
tition. During  the  first  two  nights,  they  also  scouted 
around  campus  for  derbys. 

The  next  day  was  the  Golden  Derby  Hunt, 
which  one  derby  hat,  worth  50  points,  was  hidden 
and  clues  were  given  out.  Derby  Days  concluded 
on  the  last  day  with  a  series  of  games,  a  parade  of 
the  sororities  with  their  coaches  dressed  according 
to  the  theme  and  the  presentation  of  the  Derby 
Days  Queen  Award. 

Alpha  Sigma  Alpha's  Roxanne  Schneider  was 
crowned  as  this  year's  queen.  The  winning  soror- 
ities overall  were  1st  place  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma, 
2nd  place  Alpha  Sigma  Alpha  and  3rd  place  Delta 
Gamma. 

According  to  Derby  Days  Chairman,  Michael 
Velette,  "Derby  Days  is  getting  bigger  and  better. 
We  had  our  first  corporate  sponsor  the  year.  Iron 
City  Brewery.  We  hope  to  have  them  support  us 
next  year  too." 

Velette  also  said,  "One  of  the  things  we're 
shooting  for  is  full  participation."  This  year  eight  of 
the  13  sororities  participated,  but  Velette  said  he 
would  like  to  see  all  of  them  get  involved  next 
year. 

According  to  Maribeth  McGrogan  of  Alpha 
Sigma  Alpha,  "I  had  a  really  good  time  participat- 
ing m  Derby  Days.  What  made  it  even  more  spe- 
cial for  me  was  that  my  sorority  did  so  well.  We 
came  in  second,  raised  the  most  money  and  had 
Roxanne  crowned  as  queen.  The  important  thing, 
though,  is  that  we  raised  money  for  a  good  cause 
while  having  fun." 

Carol  Fatula  of  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma  agreed  that 
Derby  Days  was  a  lot  of  fun.  She  said, "It  was  one  of 
my  first  experiences  as  a  Greek,  and  I  really  en- 
joyed it.  I'm  very  proud  that  we  came  in  first.  We 
put  a  lot  of  effort  into  it,  and  it  paid  off.  I'm  looking 
forward  to  next  year." 

Velette  is  looking  forward  to  next  year  too.  "It's  a 
good  time,  and  I  hope  everyone  gets  into  it."  he 
said.

Greek  Week  1986 


Ja?5.  Been 


Despite  cold  and  rainy  weather,  lUP's  Greek 
Week  1 986  proved  to  be  a  good  time  for  all  those 
involved. 

Greek  Week  ran  from  April  10-18.  Social  Greek 
organizations  participated  in  a  wide  variety  of 
events  including  hospital  bed  racing,  banner  con- 
test, volleyball,  weightlifting  and  Chevette  stuffing. 

Phi  Delta  Theta  and  Delta  Zeta  were  the  first 
place  fraternity  and  sorority. 

According  to  Phi  Delt  brother  Dave  Hamilton, 
Phi  Delts  "were  very  enthusiastic  (about  their 
Greek  Week  victory)  because  we're  a  young  fra- 
ternity and  not  only  do  we  have  the  largest  mem- 
bership and  grade  point  average,  winning  Greek 
Week  was  another  feather  in  our  cap." 

Second  place  wins  went  to  Sigma  Nu  and  Theta 
Phi  Alpha;  while  Alpha  Tau  Omega  and  Sigma 
Kappa  placed  third  in  the  fraternity  and  sorority 
divisions,  repectively. 

The  week  was  sponsored  by  the  Interfraternity 
and  the  Panellienic  Councils.  All  donations  from 
the  Greek  Week  raffle  benefited  Meals  on 
Wheels.

The  Oak  stall  would  like  to  apologize  to  all  the 
Unique  Greek  candidates  who  were  photographed 
lor  this  contest.  Your  photos  do  not  appear  in  the 
book  because  due  to  a  processing  error,  none  ol  the 
photos  were  printable.  This  error  became  apparent 
alter  the  end  ol  the  spring  '86  semester  and  photos 
could  not  be  rescheduled.  Thank  you  lor  your  coop- 
eration and  support. 

-The  Oak  Staff 


As  a  new  way  to  improve  the  Oak's 
Greek  section,  the  staff  decided  to 
sponsor  a  "Unique  Greek"  contest. 
All  fraternities  and  sororities  who 
appeared  in  this  book  were  eligible 
to  submit  candidates.  The  majority 
of  them  did,  however  some  candi- 
dates were  unavailable  for  com- 
ment. The  winners  were  selected  by 
a  panel  of  five  judges  from  the  Oak 
staff.  None  of  the  judges  had  any 
Greek  affiliations.  We  thank  those 
candidates  who  participated  and  we 
congratulate  the  two  winners,  Joyce 
Sadowski  and  Darien  Norman. 

Junior  nursing  major  and  psychology 
minor  Joyce  Sadowski  was  selected  by  the 
judges  as  the  most  unique  female  Greek.

Joyce  was  Alpha  Sigma  Tau's  candidate. 
She  currently  holds  the  office  of  publicity 
in  her  sorority.  She  was  also  chosen  as 
most  inspirational  pledge  and  most  spirit- 
ed sister  during  the  years  she  has  been  an 
AST. 

Joyce  related  a  "unique"  experience  in 
her  Oak  Unique  Greek  Questionnaire. 
She  was  AST's  representative  for  Queen 
Neptune  during  Delta  Gamma's  Anchor 
Splash.  Wearing  a  green  crinolin  dress 
and  shell  crown,  Joyce  threw  licorce  fish 
to  the  crowd.  The  highlight  of  this  day  for 
Joyce  (and  others)  was  pulling  a  real  fish 
from  the  front  of  her  dress  and  throwing  it 
into  the  crowd. 

Joyce's  life  is  not  all  fun  and  games.  She 
has  personally  financed  her  entire  educa-

tion  by  working  during  the  academic 
year,  as  well  as  during  the  summer 
months.  During  the  academic  year,  she 
works  20  to  35  hours  while  maintaining  a 
3.67  QPA.  Joyce  was  chosen  for  a  full 
scholarship  to  study  psychology  in  Plym- 
outh England  for  the  1986-87  academic 
year. 

Joyce  has  participated  in  various  activi- 
ties including  lUP  majorettes.  Concert 
Dance,  German  Club,  Ski  Club,  SNAP 
(Student  Nurses  Association  of  PA)  and 
VITA  (Visitors  to  the  Aged). 

Joyce  believes  that  "creative  craziness" 
is  essential  and  her  motto  is  "To  be  what 
we  are  and  to  become  what  we  are  capa- 
ble of  becoming  is  the  only  true  end  to 
life." 


Tau  Kappa  Epsilon 's  Darien  Norman 
was  selected  as  the  most  unique  male 
Greek.  Darien  is  a  junior  and  lists  his  ma- 
jor as  "Risky  Business-  Army." 

The  members  of  TKE  nicknamed  Dar- 
ien "Dr.  DooRight."  Darien  does  not  drink 
and  he  "tries  to  do  what  is  good." 

Darien  is  active  in  lUP's  ROTC  pro- 
gram. He  acheived  the  highest  award  of 
Superior  Cadet  at  Fort  Benning's  Air- 
borne school  his  freshman  year.  His  soph- 
omore year  he  gathered  more  honors 
such  as  the  National  Sojourner  Award  and 
achieved  the  cadet  ranking  of  Brigade 
Command  Sergeant  Major.  He  also  de- 
signed the  T-shirts  for  the  Advanced 
Camp  Corp,  and  helped  in  organizing  an 
Olympic  gym  for  ROTC  personnel. 


n 


Darien  is  also  involved  in  other  activi- 
ties. He  is  a  member  of  the  Ski  Patrol.  He 
is  president  of  a  new  group  that  helps 
children  of  divorced  parents  cope,  called 
the  Turning  Point.  He  is  an  approved  vol- 
unteer for  the  Big  Brothers  program.  He 
was  first  runner-up  for  Homecoming  King 
in  1984  and  1985.  He  also  helped  found 
Sieady  Mick's  nightclub  and  is  a  member 
of  BACCHUS. 

When  he  was  asked  to  give  his  personal 
motto,  Darien  gave  two  responses:  "A 
man  that  has  lived  a  lifetime  has  seen 
many  deaths."  and  "Sometimes  you  just 
got  to  say,  'What  the  crap!"'

or  some  it  took  four  years,  some  five,  some 
six;  no  matter  how  long  it  took,  the  joy  (and  at  times, 
sorrow)  of  being  a  senior  was  felt  by  all  of  these  lUP 
students. 

Some  seniors  enjoyed  the  freedom  of  scheduling 
classes  at  will,  spending  less  than  five  mintues  dur- 
ing registration.  Others  had  to  "fight  and  claw"  for 
general  education  courses  that  they  needed  for 
graduation. 

During  the  second  semester,  or  the  downhill 
stretch  for  the  class  of  1986,  many  seniors  enjoyed 
the  luxury  of  partying  till  dawn,  "blowing  off" 
morning  classes;  and  for  the  extra  fortunate,  trips  to 
warmer  climates  during  lUP's  Spring  Break. 

The  seniors  were  also  the  closest  to  the  infamous 
"real  world. "  The  Oak  staff  wishes  each  of  them  the 
best  for  a  bright  future.

It  creeps  up  on  seniors.  Once  it's 
taken  hold  there  is  no  stopping  it.  It 
becomes  part  of  every  day  existence. 
What  is  this  terror  that  strikes  99.99% 
of  all  soon-to-be  graduates?  Senioritis. 

Senioritis  is  the  result  of  four  or  more 
years  of  college,  too  much  studying 
and,  in  some  cases,  fear  of  the  "work-a- 
day"  world  that  awaits  its  victims.  Com- 
mon symptoms  are  drowsiness  (in  most 
classes  and  always  before  an  8:00 
class),  headaches  after  a  night  uptown 
or  before  a  big  test),  nausea  after  taking 
a  big  test  or  before  entering  the  cafete- 
ria), vomitting  (after  15  beers  or  before 
you  finish  the  last  bite  of  an  extra  large 
pizza  with  everything  that  you  ate  all  by 
yourself.). 

Some  seniors  experience  symptoms 


of  senioritis  as  soon  as  they  arrive  at 
lUP  in  the  fall.  Others  do  not  experi- 
ence difficulties  until  mid-April  —  BUT 
by  the  time  finals  roll  around  every  se- 
nior is  afflicted  with  senioritis. 

Relief  can  sometimes  be  found  in 
moderate  to  excessive  partying,  road 
tripping  to  other  locations,  vacationing 
over  spring  break  or  sleeping  a  mini- 
mum of  12  hours  per  day. 

There  is  only  one  cure  for  this  mala- 
dy —  graduation.  There  must  be  some- 
thing that  triggers  the  graduate's 
senses  once  a  diploma  is  in  his  or  her 
hands.  Maybe  it's  the  funny  smell  of  the 
"academic  regala"  or  perhaps  it's  the 
simple  joy  of  receiving  a  college 
degree. 

-Cynthia  Carmickle

Studying  for  tests  and  getting  assign- 
ments done  is  hard  work  for  any  col- 
lege student — for  many  of  them  their 
studies  are  their  only  "work;"  others 
juggle  classes  and  part-time  jobs.  One 
1986  graduate  did  much,  much  more. 

Just  imagine  having  classes,  commut- 
ing, being  a  volunteer  fireman  and 
working  50-70  hours  per  week — that  is 
what  Mike  Sgro  has  done  while  com- 
pleting his  degree  in  criminology  at 
lUP. 

A  native  of  Kittaning,  Sgro  has  al- 
ways been  familiar  with  lUP.  His  family 
opened  Sgro's  Restaurant,  on  Philadel- 
phia Street  in  1971.  It  was  here  that 
Mike  put  in  many  of  his  working  hours. 
He  also  helped  at  his  family's  real  estate 
business  in  Kittaning. 

Sgro  usually  bartends  or  works  in  the 
dining  room  of  his  family's  restaurant, 
but  he  will  help  in  the  kitchen  if  they 
really  need  him. 

His  most  memorable  experience 
from  working  at  Sgro's  was  on  New 


Year's  Eve  when  a  group  of  college 
students  came  in  dressed  as  a  Christ- 
mas tree  (complete  with  lights)  and 
packages,  and  sang  songs  to  everyone 
there. 

Sgro  was  also  involved  in  his  local 
volunteer  fire  company — Kittaning 
Hose  Co.  No.  1.  He  was  elected  Presi- 
dent Fire  Chief  of  the  Unit  during  his 
junior/senior  year,  making  him  the 
youngest  Fire  Chief  in  the  Company's 
history.  He  also  received  the  unit's 
"Above  and  Beyond  the  Call  of  Duty 
Award"  in  1982. 

Sgro's  plans  for  the  future  are  to  con- 
tinue working  in  his  family's  businesses 
and   to    "sometime   have   my 
business." 

"Lots  of  times,  1  though  1  could  never 
do  it  (get  through  school),"  Sgro  said — 
but  the  doubts  became  past  history  on 
May  10,  1986  at  graduation.

Spring  Break  1986  was  the  last 
"real"  vacation  that  many  lUP  seniors 
will  have  for  some  time,  since  they  will 
be  entering  the  job  market  where  long- 
vacations  and  money  are  both  scarce  in 
the  beginning. 

The  extremes  in  climate  during 
spring  break  were  almost  as  diverse  as 
the  seniors  that  travelled.  The  Penn 
had  advertisements  heralding  Daytona 
Beach,  Fort  Lauderdale,  Miami  Beach 
or  Bermuda  to  the  South;  and  Stowe 
and  Killington  to  the  North. 


Fort  Lauderdale  and  Daytona  Beach 
are  some  of  the  more  famous  or  infa- 
mous beaches  in  Florida  during  Spring 
Break.  According  to  "America"'s 
Spring  1986  issue,  Fort  Lauderdale  is 
the  most  crowded  beach  during  Spring 
Break,  and  Daytona  is  runner-up  to  Mi- 
ami for  the  best  nightlife.  (NOTE:  It  is 
rumored  that  lUP  won  "College  Day" 
at  the  Button  in  Fort  Lauderdale. 
Sources  claim  lUP  came  from  behind 
and  took  the  title  with  a  victory  in  the 
wet  T-shirt  contest). 

Those  who  headed  North  found 
themselves  enjoying  the  slopes,  warm 
fires  and  hot  toddies.  These  students 
may  not  have  gotten  full  body  tans  but 
they  got  some  great  exercise. 

Let's  not  forget  what  the  majority  of 
lUP  students  probably  did  over  Spring 
Break  —  went  home.  It's  a  chance  to 
sleep  12  hours  a  day,  watch  television 
10  hours  a  day  and  eat  everything  in 
the  house.  It  may  not  be  as  thrilling  as 
skiing  down  the  slopes  but  it's  very  re- 
laxing —  and  cheaper  than  lounging 
on  the  beach  in  Florida. 

Whether  Spring  Break  was  spent 
North,  South  or  "home",  it  was  a  won- 
derful opportunity  to  get  away  from 
lUP.  A  chance  few  students  would  give 
up!

Index 


At  both  the  Homecoming  Carnival  and 
the  Activities  Fair,  the  Oak  asked  people  if 
■we  could  "shoot"  them  v/ith  our  camera. 
The  results  can  be  seen  in  the  photos 
throughout  this  index.  There  v^ere  a  few 
"hams"  who  appear  in  more  than  one 
photo,  but  the  Oak  said  we  would  print 
any  photos  that  came  out .  .  .  and  these  are 
the  ones  that  did.  To  those  people  who 
appear  on  these  pages  —  THANKS  for 
letting  us  "shoot"  you'

///  Closing  .  .  .  The  Oak  Staff 


Well,  it's  finished.  The  1986 
Oak,  despite  all  the  trials,  tribu- 
lations and  traumatic  times,  is  fi- 
nally put  to  rest. 

There  are  loads  of  people  that 
I  owe  "thank  yous"  to.  There  are 
my  section  editors  and  their  as- 
sistants: Becky,  Dana,  Alicia, 
Linda,  Karen,  Angle,  Barbra, 
Debbie,  Michele  and  Laurie. 
You  were  all  so  dependable  and 
responsible  for  your  sections  it 
made  my  life  ten  times  easier; 
espiecially  when  my  first  dead- 
line called  for  extra  pages  to  be 
done  and  four  color  pages  to  be 
dropped. 

Also  important  to  the  Oak  was 
our  photography  editor  Bill  Mu- 
sante,  who  usually  came 
through  when  it  counted.  It's 
OK  Bill,  when  you  get  older 
your  mind  goes  once  and  a 
while.  Seriously,  you  kept  deliv- 
ering for  the  Oak  even  after  you 
started  delivering  for  Domino's. 


I  don't  know  what  we'll  do  with- 
out your  eye  for  terrific  color 
pictures. 

The  biggest  change  for  the 
Oak  was  the  increase  of  copy, 
and  behind  the  literary  whip 
was  Lesley  Holton.  Lesley,  I 
hope  this  year  didn't  strain  you 
too  much.  Remember'  we  jour- 
nalists love  pressure,  that's  why 
we  let  things  go  for  weeks  after 
they're  due  (unless  it's  for  the 
Penn,  maybe  we  should  ask 
them  their  secret).  All  kidding 
aside,  the  writing  in  this  book 
has  surpassed  anything  in  the 
previous  Oaks  and  it's  all  thanks 
to  the  great  people  who  wrote, 
literary  staff  and  the  editors. 
MaryAnn,  Holly,  Debbie,  any- 
one who  wrote,  thank  you! 

There  was,  of  course  my  "out 
of  house"  help  from  Davor  Pho- 
to and  Josten's.  At  Davor,  our 
photo  company,  Abe  Orlick,  Es- 
ther, Gemma,  Jim,  Tim,  Neil  and 


LeAnn,  plus  all  of  those  people 
in  the  lab  who  "rush  "  ordered 
my  photos,  thank  you,  without 
you,  there  would  have  been 
many  blank  pages  in  this  book. 

Larry  Intihar,  our  Josten's  rep, 
thanks  for  all  the  fresh  and  cre- 
ative ideas.  I  just  hope  they 
don't  show  up  too  much  on  the 
final  bill.  I  promise  that  I'll  un- 
derstand the  "signature"  con- 
cept of  publishing  for  the  rest  of 
my  life!  Honest,  I'm  not  as  dense 
as  I  seem. 

Back  inside  of  the  Oak,  the 
secretarial  help,  Cheryl,  you 
probably  don't  ever  want  to 
type  another  name  as  long  as 
you  live,  all  the  work  came  at 
once  but  think  of  all  the  fun  you 
had  in  the  fall  semester. 

The  true  "in-house"  helper 
was  Dawn,  the  mad  typing 
roommate  of  the  century.  I 
didn't  realize  accountants  fin- 
gers could   move  on  anything 


but  adding  machines.  You 
typed  so  much  so  fast,  we  all 
appreciated  the  help. 

Last  but  not  least  come  Jim 
and  Ed,  the  business  brains  be- 
hind the  Oak.  Ed,  if  you  ever 
get  out  of  lUP,  I  wish  you  the 
very  best.  I  hope  you  never 
have  to  deal  with  another  parent 
patron  as  long  as  you  live.  Jim, 
what  can  I  say  but  THANK 
YOU!  I  hope  I  didn't  drive  you 
crazy  with  all  my  questions  and 
budget-paranoid  attitude. 

Now  after  all  this  babble,  a 
final  look  at  lUP,  the  good  times, 
the  work  times  and  the  seasons 
of  it  all.  I  hope  the  1986  Oak  has 
indeed  reached  a  new  image.

oUege.  Many  people  call  it  "the  best 
time  of  your  life. "  It's  the  first  taste  of 
freedom  for  many  students.  It's  a  time  for  mak- 
ing friends  —  friends  that  last  a  lifetime. 

The  "good  times"  are  abundant.  Watching  the 
bright  homecoming  parade.  Tailgating  in  the 
parking  lot.  Playing  a  relaxing  game  of  pool. 
Having  a  drink  uptown  with  friends. 

College  isn  't  all  good  times;  there  are  the  pres- 
sures and  boredom  of  classes.  But  when  this  aca- 
demic overload  gets  to  be  too  much,  the  student 
kno'ws  it  can 't  last  forever  and  the  weekend  will 
arrive  and  the  "good  times"  will  begin  again.

I  i£e  at  lUP  wasn  't  just  fun  and  games, 
many  lUP  students  worked.  Work  came  in 
many  forms  from  standard  clerk  jobs  to  vol- 
unteering time  working  for  an  organization. 
There  was  also  the  "ultimate"  form  of  work — 
school  work  or  studying — which  every  student 
did  during  the  fall  and  spring  semesters.  This 
academic  work  kept  many  from  other  activi- 
ties but  in  the  end,  this  it  payed  offas  students 
reached  their  goals  for  improved  QPAs  or  jobs 
following  graduation.

f  there's  one  thing  a  student  who  at- 
tended lUP  will  never  forget,  it  would 
he  the  weather.  The  weeks  of  non-stop  rain.  The 
snow  that  covered  everything  in  sight.  The  early 
days  in  April  when  students  hit  the  "Shafer 
Beach." 

And  as  the  seasons  of  the  year  changed  at  lUP, 
so  did  the  students  as  the  years  passed  by. 

The  first  year,  a  scared  freshman  waving  good- 
bye to  his  parents  and  living  in  a  small  dorm 
room  with  a  roommate.  The  second  year,  a  confi- 
dent sophomore  taking  classes  in  his  major  and 
getting  to  know  more  people.  The  third  year,  a 
study  smart  junior  with  general  education  be- 
hind him  and  thoughts  of  the  real  world  just  a 
year  away.  The  fourth  year,  a  professional  senior 
making  it  through  the  last  two  semesters  and 
sending  out  resumes  by  the  dozens. 

Whether  it  be  the  weather  or  the  students,  lUP 
is  never  static.  The  university  and  its  people  are 
always  changing,  al'ways  growing,  always  reach- 
ing for  a  new  image.
