year's Homecnmini? parade. .4/)(n'e.The 1987 Indi-
ans take tn the field for another winning game
Nineteen eighty-eight
can best be de-
scribed as a year in motion
throughout lUP.
As each month passed
during the academic year,
moie and more changes
were noticeable through
campus and around
Indiana.
Fail enrollment reached
record heights with 18,405
students at the Indiana
campus, an increase of 157
from fall of 1986. This fig-
ure surprised admissions of-
ficials who estimated a de-
clining enrollment due to a
decrease of 18 to 25-year-
olds. Along with the in-
crease of students, howev-
er, may come a tuition
increase in the 1988-89
year, as well as definite
raises in residence hall and
health fees.
The university's Capital
Campaign surpassed all ex-
pectations by raising $4.2
million, 170 percent of their
minimum goal. Funds from
the campaign will be used
to increase funding of exist-
ing scholarship programs,
pay for at least five distin-
guished professorships, ren-
ovate Breezdale mansion on
campus as an alumni and
community center, and ex-
pand progiams on branch
campuses in Kittaning and
Punxsutawney.
Also, the 1987 Indian
football team went farther
than ever before by win-
ning their second PSAC
state title in a row against
West Chester and advanc-
ing to the NCAA Division II
National playoffs.

Perhaps the most vis-
ible sign of the year
in motion was the ever-pre-
sent construction around
campus.
Visitors to the campus
. who haven't seen it in a few
years may thini< they
stopped at the wrong uni-
versity: Pratt Drive was re-
placed by a cul-de-sac end-
ing at the HUB and a
lighted walkway extending
to Esch and Wallace halls.
Around the Oak Grove, Wal-
ler Hall was closed for reno-
vations and the steps in
front of Leonard and Wilson
Halls were rebuilt during
the winter.
The cogeneration plant
started operating in full ca-
pacity in the fall although a
pipeline mix-up caused
damage. Also visible around
campus were the huge oil
derricks which drilled four
wells to general natural gas
for the cogen plant.
lUP took a step in simpli-
fying the registration pro-
cess as it implemented a
test-run in which 548 stu-
dents participated by
telephone.
Finally, a committee to
study AIDS on campus was
formed.

A Year In Mi'iior, /
Our way of living at lUP is one
that keeps us constantly in
motion. From running to classes all day
to partying, exercising, studying or re-
laxing at night, there's not much time
for boredom. For many of us, this fast-
paced lifestyle is quite a change from
the way we're used to living at home.

Gone are the days of home-cooked
meals and warm nights on a thick mat-
tress. Instead, we trade these for caf
food, Sheetz dogs and dormitory beds.
Our days fly by with exams and papers
and we sometimes find that even all-
nighters don't help us to get the "A" we
all desire. To let this frustration out, we
______^^ share a variety of
methods. Some look
Editor: immediately to
sports: smashing a
racquetball, sweat-
ing through aerobics
or rolling through a
game of mud football
are great ways to
clear our test-fried
minds. Others look
for less painful meth-
,^______^ ods of release, such
as going to a movie
on campus or at one of the malls, taking
advantage of an Activities Board event,
partying uptown or around campus, or
simply relaxing with a bowl of popcorn
and the television. Our lifestyle at lUP
is also reflected in our clothing. When
waking for an 8:00 class at 7:45, some
abandon any thought of fashion for a
ballcap and sweats. The typical rainy
Indiana day also makes it difficult for
one to sport the new shoes, knowing
they'll be ruined by the rain-and-mud
filled sidewalks. But despite our indi-
vidual differences, the fact that we're
all lUP students means we share a com-
mon lifestyle.

Alumni Come Home
For The Holidays
It's Friday, October 9,
1987, late afternoon-
/eai-ly evening. You pull
into the semi-recognizable cam-
pus for that yearly collegiate tra-
dition rooted deep in welcoming,
reminiscing and partying.
You are an lUP alumni and
this is Homecoming '87.
Unfortunately, given all of the
construction both past and pre-
sent, you'ie not quite sure if this
is the same university fiom
which you graduated one, two,
five, or even twenty years ago.
After approaching Zink Hall,
the new home of the homeconing
carnival, you're reminded that in-
deed, this is lUP, and that you
could register as a visiting alum-
nus at the registration tent.
If one thing made this year's
festivities more memorable than
those of the recent past, it was
the weather. Contrary to Indiana
tradition, the homecoming pa-
rade and football game were
viewed in sunny, even warm
weather- with no rain in sight for'
the day.
The theme of this year's home-
coming was "Holidays," and the
fact that thousands of students,
family and alumni made it
thr'ough the day without geting
wet was enough reason to
celebrate.
No that UP homecoming par-
tiers need another reason to par-
ty. This year was filled with the
usual festivities which adorn
each year's weekend in October.
The celebration officially be-
gan Saturday morning with the
Homecoming parade. Spectators
lined the parade route to see area
marching bands, military regi-
ments, and the ever-popular
shriners riding atop every possi-
ble type of transportation, from
mini-corvettes to mini-dune bug-
gies. Highlights of the par-ade in-
cluded Alpha Phi Omega's fir'st
place float, "The grinch that stole
Christmas," the ll'P Marching
band, and of course homecoming
royalty.
This year's King and Queen
were Tim Bukowski and Laurel
Pagoda, with first runners-up Je-
rome Moore and AnneMarie Ag-
new. Branch campus kings and
queens wer'e Pete Matthews and
Kelli Zwickle from Pun.xsutaw-
ney and Daum Corey and Su-
zanne Stitely from Kittaning.
After the parade, many specta-
tors moved onward to the R and P
lot to another favorite lUP past-
time: tailgating.
Partiers young and old packed
the lot next to the stadium, and
left thousands of bottles and cans
behind them after- the university
instituted the no-keg policy at
tailgating events. This rule ap-
parently didn't deter anyone
from drinking, and the happy
tailgater's then moved on to
Miller stadium and the Clarion-
lUP matchup.
The Indians defeated Clar'ion
24-12 with a strong defensive
game in which the Eagles were
held to 39 yards on the ground.
After the game ended, fans
dispersed to the mud-filled carni-
val or back to the tailgating to
prepare for one last night of see-
ing friends, catching up on the
present, and talking and laughing
about the past.

Here Come The Floats!
Floats aie probably the
most visibly fun part of
homecoming. But have
you ever thought about the work
that goes into a float? Two Greek
organizations were willing to tell
us how their floats were made.
Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Sig-
ma Phi dedicated their 1987 float
to the 100th birthday of the Unit-
ed Way. Planning for the design
of the float was selected by the
chapter members with the con-
sent of the local Lnited Way rep-
resentative. The Zetas and Delta
Sigs began to build the float two
weeks in advance to assure plen-
ty of time for perfection. The
"dirty work" of the actual build-
ing of the base structure and the
chicken wire attachment was left
to the brothers, while the ZTA
sisters glued and pomped the
brightly colored float. The float
was completed a few days early,
so all involved could relax and
enjoy the homecoming festivities.
Although their float received
only average award standing, the
Homecoming Committee was very
proud that Zetas and Delta Sigs
had chosen to involve a national
organization in HP's 1987 cele-
bration: they are encouraging
that this behavior is repeated in
the coming years.
"The Grinch." Dr. Seuss" clas-
sic Christmas thief, also stole
first place for Alpha Phi Omega
the National Service Fraternity
in this year's Homecoming
Parade.
A-Phil-0's float, titled "The
Grinch that Stole Christmas."
was judged on originality,
amount of movement, use of
theme and overall performance.
The float had 18 moving parts
including the Grinch. whose head
and arm moved: his dog. Max.
whose head and tail moved: a
train, which chugged around a
twirling Christmas tree: and cyl-
inders spinning with the message
"Happy Holidays."
A-Phil-0's road to victory was
rough— literally ! Shortly before
dawn on the morning of the pa-
rade, a few of the brothers gath-
ered at the float's location in the
White Township Municipal Build-
ing to help move it to the begin-
ning of the parade route— a dis-
tance of about three miles.
Normally a three-mile trip
would be no problem, but unfor-
tunately, the float was over VI
feet tali, and tree branches along
the route had to he pushed aside
so that the float wouldn't be de-
stroved. It was a long three
miles!!
The float was shaped like a
huge sled. At the back of the sled
was a giant sack filled with toys
and presents that, according to
Dr. Seuss' story, the Grinch stole
from the Whos in Whoville. In the
middle of the float was the giant
spinning Christmas tree encircled
by the little train. The Grinch
and Max stood at the front of the
float. Topping it all off was the
little Whomobile that was pulled
behind the float.
Many people wondered how
the float's moving parts worked,
but that wasn't as complicated as
it may have looked. Except for
the little train, all the parts were
operated by a pulley system con-
trolled by people hiding in the
giant sack.
The train was pulled around
its track by an A-Phi O's little
brother from the Big Brothers
and Big Sisters program.
All of the effort resulted in a
great win for the fraternity. In
keeping with its service tradi-
tions, A-Phi-0 donated the 5300
in first place prize money to
charity.

Indiana: Tradition
And Diversity
" ... at
night, Indi-
ana holds a
personality
all its own . .
DDwnto'.vn Indiana, also
known as "uptown,"
holds something for ev-
eryone from the weekend window
shopper to the weekend bar-
hopper.
During the day, the streets of
downtown are filled with busi-
nessmen dining for lunch at
Isaacs, Culpeppers, the Classroom
or Tom's, to name a few. Students
roam Philadelphia street be-
tween classes for that last-min-
ute birthday card or school sup-
ply, and usually end up making a
common stop at the Cashstream
machine to re-line their wallets.
These features are common of
any town, but at night, Indiana
holds a personality all its own.
For at night, the stores are closed
and the bars are open.
Diversity is the main attrac-
tion for the uptown crowd. For
the laid-back sort who like to be
able to talk without screaming
and perhaps even sit down, H.B.
Culpeppers or Coney Island are
favorite spots. Culpeppers' happy
hour is littered with students
and townspeople alike, all un-
winding after a long and tiresome
week.
For those who are in more of a
partying spirit, uptown means \\
Patti's, Wolfendales, or the newly
reopened Calecos. The loft at
Wolfies is always a hot spot, and
the dancing crowd can be found
every weekend on the floors of
Calecos.
Although it's found far from
uptown, students can also enjoy
the nightclub atmosphere at Cy-
cads, which fills to the walls for
dime draft night on Thurdsays.
Downtown Indiana also was
subject to many changes this
year.
In February, students and In-
diana natives watched Brody's, a
7o-year-old department store,
close its doors forever. .-Mthough
the sales were enough to make
even the worst shopper happy,
the last department store in the
downtown area will be missed by
many.

Relationships— An Important Part Of Life
"These re-
Idtionships .
. . have H
great hold on
us, and make
for many
memories. "
Relationships. They aie one
of the most important fac-
tois in oui' lives. What
would you do without your- hest
friend'.' Or your boyfriend or
girlfriend?
Relationships form during the
earliest years of life and continue on
into the last years of life. Some peo-
ple can still lememhei' their very
first friend, as eaiiy as age thiee or
four. Everyone lemembers theii-
first love. These relationships among
other people outside the family have
a great hold on us, and make foi'
many memories.
The best part of friendship is the
memories you share with your
friend. The first slumber- party, the
first day of school, the first co-ed
birthday party where you played
"Spin the Bottle"— memories not to
be tr'aded in in a lifetime. Then as
you and your' friend got older, there
was the first split when a boyfriend
or girlfriend. came along, whether it
was your-s or- your friend's.
Now there is a differ-ent stage of
life. The first love is always some-
thing special. Suddenly you've real-
ized that the opposite sex isn't so
bad after all. The novelty of spend-
ing time with someone of the oppo-
site sex often permeates every area
of life. Friends ai-e kind of pushed to
the wayside for- a while.
Couples have great memories too.
How about the first date, the fir'st
prom, the first kiss? Of course, there
are arguments, but what about the
first time you "made up"?
Eventually, when the head rush
of first love wears off, fr-iends are
immediately back in the picture.
People can learn to balance their
friendships and love relationships.
That's the best time of life. When
you go to college, wherever you may
go, you develo[) relationships that
will last thr-ought life.
Bernie McDonough, a senior in
marketing, says about his best
friend, "We buddy up for- studies and
study breaks — drinking and
scooping."
A senior in journalism, Gayle
Schmidt, feels her relationship with
her best friend is "going to last for a
while."
"It's fun and very open," she said.
"We're so opposite," says Leena
Petak, a senior in biology education,
about her- boyfriend. "That's why we
get along so well, 1 guess."
What would we do without our
friends? Who could we confide in
about our- escapades and our- argu-
ments with our- "better- halves?"
And speaking of girlfriends and boy-
friends, without them we'd have no
one for formats, date parties and in-
timate moments. Relationships are
vital, no matter- what age you ar-e.

Here, take one of these,"
says the energetic stu-
dent bobbing through the
Oak Grove, as he thrusts the
small plastic packet into your
hand.
"You never know when you
may need this," he says.
"Practice safe sex" and "Be
wise, condomize" were the re-
peated slogans seen and heard
throughout AIDS Awareness
Week held April 5-8.
The university formed an AIDS
awareness committee this year
which adressed conceits of Ac-
quired Immune Definciency Syn-
drome as related to college stu-
dents and to educate them on
prevention.
"The committee felt this is an
issue of international importance
and that (AIDS) is a disease that
is critical to people in young age
groups," said Dr. Anne Katz,
chairperson of the committee.
"Ignorance is a tremendous prob-
lem there."
AIDS Awareness Week, spon-
sored by the committee, the
Women's Advisory Council, and
Greek Affairs, consisted of lec-
tures presented by health experts
on topics such as "AIDS and HIV
Personal and Public Health Is-
sues," "The Legal Aspects of
AIDS," and "The Emotional As-
pects of AIDS; A Metaphor for
Loss,"as well as condom booths
set up in the HUB and Oak Grove.
The lecture series was capped
by a panel discussion on student
concerns of the di.sease.
According to panelist Dr. Allen
Andrew of the lUP biology de-
partment, "There are only two
foi'ms of safe sex — abstinence
and masturbation," and that
"safer sex" is a better term to
use. Even with condom use there
is no guarantee of preventing
AIDS ti'ansmission, he said.
"AIDS is the first epidemic
woild-wide that is acquired," said
Phoebe Cressman of the Pennsyl-
vania Health Department during
the discussion. "You have to work
to get AIDS ... it is preventable."
According to the Philadelphia
Inquirer, 55,000 people in the
United States have been stricken.
30,000 of these cases resulted in
death.
The AIDS virus is transmitted
in three main ways: having sex
with an infected person, sharing
needles and syringes with illegal
drug users, and infection of a
baby during birth from an infect-
ed mother.
Dispelling the rumours sur-
rounding the contraction of AIDS
was another goal of the aware-
ness week.
It is not po.ssible to get AIDS by
being around someone with it,
through casual contact, kissing,
hugging, or touching something
that .someone with AIDS has
touched.
To date, there is no treatment
or a permanent cure for AIDS or
any of the infections associated
with the disease, and no end is in
sight. Meanwhile, the only known
method for the reduction of the
virus is education.
"We want to bring the campus
to a point of awareness that ev-
erybody should be concerned
with," said Katz, who said she
received "nothing but positive
reactions" about the event. In ad-
dition, the university has made
condoms available at the Health
Centei' and in doimitory vending
machines.

Parking: The Eternal Headache
Doug Macek
'hat's one thing that lUP
faculty, staff and com-
niutef students have in
common? Piobiems with paiking
on campus, said Eugene Thomas
of the lUP campus police.
The next question you may asi<
is, what is being done about the
pioblem? Robert Marx, the direc-
tor of campus planning, said each
year about two projects involving
paving are done.
"What we have been doing
here is building new facilities and
upgrading existing facilities foi'
parking," said Marx. The student
union parking area and the lot
located outside Whitmyre Hall
are two examples of this work.
Marx said that he doesn't re-
ceive many of the complaints on
parking problems, but said most
are received by campus police.
"There's 4lways complaints
whenever you have a controlled
situation of parking like we have.
You're going to have complaints
because everybody likes to park
where they're not allowed to
park," said Thomas.
Thomas said that the campus
police do not like to tow cars, but
if someone is unauthorized in a
reserved space on campus or is a
consistent violator of parking in
fire lanes oi' handicapped spaces,
they will be towed. The 80 re-
served parking spaces on campus
are paid for each semester and
when someone who is unautho-
rized paiks in the space, the per-
son permitted to park there can
call campus police and have the
car towed, said Thomas.
One of the biggest complaints
about parking on campus is that
people can't find a parking space,
said Thomas. There is about an
even number of complaints from
faculty, staff and students, he
said.
Adult student Karen Thomas
said she doesn't find it a pioblem
to park early in the morning be-
fore an 8 a.m. class, but if she
comes to campus later in the
morning, she has difficulty find-
ing a space.
"There are not enough spaces
anywhere," she said. "There
needs to be more central
locations."
Fi'eshman Susan Fox said she
has had similar' experience with
finding a parking space. She too
had problems finding a parking
place in the latter part of the
morning.
"I was lucky to find a pai'king
space there (the .Memorial Field
House parking lot)," said Fox.
Thomas said if drivers went to
one of the larger lots and then
went to the stadium lot, they
would save the time it takes to
drive around campus searching
for a space and be able to walk to
their office or class in a shorter
amount of time.
One way to help diminish the
parking problem would be for
more people to carpool, said
Thomas. Campus police have a
listing of all drivers who would
be willing to carpool. which is
taken from the application form
for parking permits, said Thomas.

Series Gives Big Name Entertainment
Doug Mdcek
Every year the Ai'ist's Series
brings great entertainment
to JUP. This year was no
exception. Here are the high-
lights of the shows:
Ben Vereen came in Septem-
ber. Live audiences are Vereen's
first love, and the magic he creat-
ed on Broadway has provided the
perfect springboard for his caba-
ret act.
The consummate entertainei',
Ben Veieen has left his mari< on
the Broadway stage, the concert
stage and the screen, pleasing au-
diences throughout the world. It
is rare for- a performer to influ-
ence an ar-ray of mediums with
the brilliance of Ben Vereen.
The first time a major Chinese
orchestra played in the U.S., they
played at IL'P. We were the first
visit in the Chinese Philharmonic
Orchestra's tour in October-. The
audience was enthralled with the
performance and especially the
solos of the 18-year'-old Wang
Xiao Dong, who played violin.
Zuohuang Chen was the conduc-
tor of the group, and at the end of
the performance, the orchestra
received two standing ovations.
"Sophisticated Ladies" opened
in December with the announce-
ment "Ladies and gentlemen, the
music of Duke Ellington!" Over
20 of Ellington's most famous
songs were featured. The dancing
was fantastic, from its kick-lines
to its dramatic gymnastics, in-
cluding back-flips and cart-
wheels. The cast proved again
and again that it meant business
from the ver'y first song.
The spring semester started
with "Big River," an adaptation
from Mark Twain's Huckleberry
Finn. The crowd was kept antici-
pating the show, which started
an hour- and a half late. Some
considered it one of the best trav-
eling shows ever- seen.
The performer playing Huck
Finn was vital, as he narrated
the story and sang. He kept the
audience in touch with what was
going on. A pulley system pulled
the raft along the stage, making
the audience feel as though it
was following it down the river-.
Those who stayed for- the perfor-
mance enjoyed themselves.
On March 18, Fisher Auditori-
um was entr-anced by Waves, a
Philadelphia-based dance compa-
ny. Waves presented music in mo-
tion, or what choreographer and
director Shimon Braun called a
"celebration of music, of bodies,
of rhythms, of connections, of life
and for life.
Waves displayed a variety of
styles throughout the show:

"Mr. lUP VIII Is

Awarding the title of Mr.
lUP VIII to sophomore
Darrin Wheeler on Sat-
urday. October 2i in Fisher Audi-
torium made the months of plan-
ning and preparation for the
contest, by Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority, a success.
Wheeler, sponored by Zeta Tau
Alpha, did not win it easily, how-
ever. He competed against eight
other good-looking and talented
IL'P students that kept the near
capacity audience enthusiastic
from beginning to end.
To start the show, the contes-
tants danced to "Come Go with
Me," and introduced t)iemselves.
Each wore a T-shirt representing
their sponsors. The next section
of the contest, won by. Wheeler,
was the swimwear competition,
where the contestants did the
limbo and danced to "Wipe Out."
This proved to be a real crowd
pleaser.
The talent competition was by
far the best part of the contest.
Each contestant had his own act
that displayed his talents and
originality, giving each guy an op-
portunity to shine.
Wheeler performed a dance
number to Whitney Houston's
"Thinking .About Y'ou," and soph-
omore David Stauffer, sponsored
by Delta Omicron, won the talent
competition with his rendition of
the piano piece "Chachaturian
Taccata." This was not the only
area that Stauffer excelled in. He
also won the formal wear and
spirit competitions, being the
competitor with the most dona-
tions to the Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation (JDF), AGD's philan-
thropy. To top it off. Stauffer was
named the first runner-up, tying
with junior Joe Strauss, spon-
sored by Lambda Chi Alpha.
Strauss sang "Sister Goldenhair"
by America.
Second runner-up went to
Larry Wood, sponsored by Phi
Delta Theta. Wood sang and
played the piano to "Sometimes
When We Touch," by Dan Hill.
The other contestants' perfor-
mances included a comedy act by
senior Rob Ceribelli, sponsored by
Sigma Chi. Ceribelli won the con-
geniality award given by the oth-
er contestants. .Alpha Xi Delta's
sponsor, freshman Eric Korpela,
stripped to "You've Got the Look"
by Prince, and senior .Michael
O'Connor of Phi Sigma Kappa
danced and sang "Knock Three
Times" by Tony Orlando and
Dawn. O'Connor did his best to
portray Orlando— platform shoes
and all.
Junior Todd Shasko, sponsored
by Sigma Tau Gamma, had the
crowd's attention during his
dance performance to "1 Want
Your Sex" by George Michael and
Delta Tau Delta's senior Steve
Seifried's act to 'Jail House
Rock" showed a little of every-
thing, from trumpet playing to
song and dance.
These contestants weren't the
only ones performing. Miss ll"P,
Alyce Grimm, sang "Superman"
and Chris Bertani, an IIP stu-
dent, performed a comedy act
that included impersonations of
Robin Leach, Jimmy Stewart,
Jerry Lewis and the Church Lady
from Saturday Night Live.
The most touching act of the
night was performed by Walt
McCready, last year's Mr. IIP. He
sang "Memories— The Way We
Were," and dedicated it to his
girlfriend, who died of leukemia.
He received a standing ovation,
and tears were evident on many
of the crowd's faces.
Jennifer Gleeson, chairperson
of the contest, felt that the con-
test was fair and went extremely
well. "We proved it's hard to tell
who'll win," Gleeson said. "The
guy that excels deserves to win,
though all nine of these guys co-
operated and had fun. Everyone
is always in for a surprise in the
end."
Besides being a fun and upbeat
show, the contest managed to
raise over S1800 for JDF, Alpha
Gamma Delta's philanthropy
since 1979.

Miss Black IIP for 1988 is .
. . WiUa Gotten.
Sponsored by the
brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Pater-
nity Inc. and the Black Cultural
Center, the 12th annual Miss
Black IL"P pageant was held April
9, 1988, in the HUB .Multi-Purpose
Room.
Judged on ten categories, Cot-
ten took the audience by storm
during the talent competition
singing "After the Love Has Lost
Its Shine."
Gotten, a freshman fashion
merchandising major, is from
Pittsburgh and member of the
Sigma Dove Royal Court.
First runner-up was Alicia
Thompson, who won the most tal-
ented award for her ballet perfoi-
mance to the song "The Black
Butterfly" by Denise Williams.
Thomspon, a junior accounting
major from Philadelphia, has
studied ballet for 13 years.

nies Tony Brock, the pageant got

A Music Lover's Fantasy
Progressive bands the 11th
Hour, the Affordable Floors
and lUP's own The Clarks
performed to a crowd of 400 scream-
ing idiots November 6 in the Hadley
Union Building. The Clarks opened
the show with a 45-minute set of
their own rousing tunes, songs
which won them the title of runners-
up in a tri-state Battle of the Bands
competition. For their encore The
Clarks came back on stage with The
nth Hour, a popular Pittsburgh
band, and together they performed a
rousing rendition of U2's "Electric
Co." The 11th Hour then played
their original tunes for yet another
45-minute set.
Finally the headlining act, record-
ing artists The Affordable Floors,
took the stage and played their own
progressive brand of music. The
crowd enjoyed this very much. I
mean, like, a whole lot.
"It was a rousing performance,"
said Bill Halloran, AB chairman and
author of this article. "1 would say it
has been one of the most successful
events we've had all year, and I'm
very proud of all the people who
worked so hard to make this kind of
scintillating entertainment
possible."
Halloran credits AB Contempo-
rary Music Committee Chairperson
Nancy Costa with organizing the
event.
The Penn article following the
Halloween Lip-Sync Contest spelled
it out: "AB Chairman Wins Contest."
But, dubious though it seemed. Bill
Halloran, along with good friend pal
and confidant Joe Slick (his real
name— honest), edged out the com-
petition in what may have been the
last Activities Board-sponsoied lip-
sync contest ever.
The gala event was highlighted by
the fact that most of the audience
came in costume, in true Halloween
fashion. The audience thrilled to
rousing performances by all of the
lip-sincing acts, which ranged from
Sheena Easton to Aerosmith. Placing
third was Kristi Lyie, who according
to Matt Hughes's Penn article, "did a
semi-erotic dance to Sheena Easton's
"So Far, So Good." Scantily-clad Lyle
pranced about the stage in high
heels while she warmed the hearts
of the judges and audience with her
exuberant smile.
Second place went to Eileen
Houghton, who dressed up as a very
pregnant woman and lip-synced Ma-
donna's "Papa Don't Preach." Al-
though allegations were levelled
that she had merely slipped a large
shirt over a bass drum, the sight gag
was enough to garner her a second-
place finish.
Halloran and Slick, in their first
appearance ever as a lip-syncing
team, captured first place by basi-
cally plagiarizing the Paul Simon/
Chevy Chase video of Simon's song
"You Can Call Me. Al." According to
Slick, whose deadpan imitation of
the miniscule Simon brought the
house down. "1 can't believe we
won." Halloran credits their victory,
saying "There's a delicate balance in
the comic chemistry between Joey
and myself, but essentially Joey's
the top banana; 1 reel the audience
in and Joey slaps them upside the
head."
Despite the event's success, the
Activities Board decided that as far
as the lUP student body was con-
cerned, the age of the Lip-Sync Con-
test was indeed ovei'. "There just
weren't enough people willing to
participate, but 1 think that's more a
reflection of changing tastes than a
labeling of the student body as apa-
thetic," said the ever-hopeful
Halloran.

"Where Do You Live?"
Students seek off-campus
housing for many rea-
sons, but a need for
more privacy, more quiet and
more freedom are three main
benefits found off-campus.
Many students complain that
the excitement of living in the
residence halls soon loses its ap-
peal and that's when they begin
considering to live off-campus.
"There are just too many peo-
ple crammed into dorms," a soph-
omore economics major said.
"They are too noisy and too re-
strictive. 1 would rather struggle
with inconvenience such as dis-
tance and high rent than live in
the dorms," she added.
"I like living off-campus tre-
mendously because it is much
quieter," a psychology graduate
student said. "You don't find that
in the dorms around here," she
added.
"The best part of off-campus
housing is the living space. You
have in most cases a separate liv-
ing area, bedroom area and kitch-
en area," said a sophomore jour-
nalism major. "It is really great
to have a place of my own, not
sharing with all those other stu-
dents," she added.
And more space means more
freedom and privacy.
"I don't feel as restricted as 1
did when 1 lived on campus," said
a sophomore finance major. "1
can now have as much of my per-
sonal belongings with me and not
feel cramped. Plus I can enter-
tain a large number of people
comfortably now," he added.
"1 don't mind when my room-
mates have parties," a resident of
an off-campus dormitory said "1
enjoy being able to kick back and
enjoy myself. College life would
be boring without the fun we
have here, and that's not possible
in the dorms," he added.
There are those people who
like the dorms. Residence halls
are a good way to meet people
during the freshman (and even
later) years.
As freshmen, most people are
apprehensive about meeting peo-
ple. Some are homesick for their
high school friends, and some are
an.xious about meeting anyone.
But with 30-50 other people on a
floor, the chances of not meeting
someone are impossible. Impossi-
ble only because there is "the
roommate."
Roommates provide the friend-
ship needed the first few days at
lUP. Getting to know one another
is exciting and time-consuming.
(.And where would we be without
our roommate's clothes?)
After a while, floormates are
like friends and there are recog-
nizable quad faces. In visiting
quad friends, one advantage the
dorms has is the connecting
floors between buildings, so the
rain, snow and wind aren't felt by
visitors traveling from building to
building.
Jocelyn Reeve, a freshman liv-
ing in Shafer Hall, says, "I like
living in the dorms because most
of my friends are here and I can
visit them any time of the day or
night."
Even in the sophomore and ju-
nior years the dorms provide last-
ing relationships. Dashing across
the hall to visit is definitely easi-
er than dashing across campus.
Whether it be dorms or off-
campus life you choose, there are
attractions to each that will sat-
isfy anybody.

A Fun Dilemma
What To Eat
Food. We need it to sur-
vive, but we not only eat
food for survival, we eat
it for other reasons. Eat-
ing can be a hobby, a love, a way
to combat stress, or a way to
celebrate.
There are people who eat just
for the fun of it. The thought of
food just makes them happy.
These are the people who come
home and sit down in front of the
TV, prepared for the commercial
breaks, so they can rush to the
refrigerator or the local fast food
joint.
Some people who are unlucky
in the love department would
rather get to know food than the
person of the opposite sex be-
cause food doesn't judge, nag, ar-
gue or complain. Food is a true
friend. It can't talk back!
On the rebound of a problem,
argument or hectic situation,
many turn to food as a pacifier.
Eating helps them to relax and
forget about things for a while.
There's no better way to cele-
brate than eating with friends
and family, whether it be for a
birthday. Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas or a plain ol' get-together.
At college, these ways to in-
dulge in food are always in play.
When we first entered lUP as
freshmen, we all had eating
"hang-ups." We wanted home
cooking, but realized our tastes
would change as we were intro-
duced to cafeteria food. Along
with all the starch and grease
came the calories, and eventually
the pounds, which is all part of
the infamous "Freshman 151"
Debbie Saly, an upperclass-
man. doesn't want to gain weight
even if she isn't a freshman. She
says, "I'll try any diet to see if I
can do it." And as for Stacey Ye-
lich, she says, "Food is my life. I
live to eat and eat to live."
Ordering out also became the
craze when first entering IIP,
and it is still one of the fastest
and most popular ways to eat.
Take-out pizza and subs satisfied
the "late-night munchies," espe-
cially for Debbie Karla, who likes
ordering pizza or making runs to
7-Eleven every other night. Deb-
bie Echon counts her change
when she's low on cash, so she
can order out. And for those peo-
ple who live off-campus, their
cupboards are stocked for the se-
mester with the ever-popular
macaroni and cheese. Senior
Kathy Steele says, "1 like to eat
something fast and easy, that I
can make in a matter of ten
minutes."
Jennie Castiglione has her rea-
sons for eating differently. She is
a "health nut." She says, "My
roommate gets hungry for pizza,
and I'd rather have a can of
green beans. Besides, there's only
80 calories in a can. I also eat
whole wheat bread." To top it off,
she takes vitamins, and says most
people don't care what they eat.
"No one really knows what they
put in their bodies."
So you see, food is all around
us. We eat because it's the thing
to do. And you only live once,
right'' Why not enjoy what you
like to eat, even if it includes
"junk food." .And remember, no
matter what your eating habits
are, if college food has left a "bad
taste" in your mouth, it's always
great to go home and have some
real home cooking!
-Amy Mazutis

"Many stu-
dents find
that their
study habits
change ..."
The Reason For Being At lUP
Most students look for-
waid to the end of the
semester so they can re-
lax and have fun over the break.
But before they can unwind from
a semester's stresses, students
must survive FINALS WEEK!
Finals week means different
things to different people. For
some students, final examina-
tions represent a last-ditch effort
to earn a certain grade. Some stu-
dents view finals just as they
would any other test, except
more tests are scheduled in a
tighter time period. Still others
see finals week as a vacation
from the routine of classes and
spend the time socializing.
The majority of Il"P students
seem to take finals week serious-
ly though.
Kathy Rosick, a junior commu-
nications media major, said, "I
organize myself for finals. I start
about two weeks before the tests,
and take one class at a time.
First, 1 complete all my assign-
ments (papers, etc.), then I con-
centrate on tests. 1 read all chap-
ters at least a week before finals
week then I start studying for my
first finals."
Matt Kizak, a sophomore
studying human resource man-
agement, also prepares himself in
advance for finals week.
"1 outline my chapters, take
notes from the book and then
compare book notes and class
notes. Then I study and I review-
right before the test. 1 try to orga-
nize myself ahead of time, but I
usually cram for unimportant
classes."
Many students find that their
study habits change once they
have experienced the stress of
finals week.
Pattie Booze, a sophomore
journalism major, said she no
longer studies the same way she
did while a freshman and in high
school.
"Now 1 try to get things done
early and space them out. I need
complete quiet while I study— no
TV or radio in the background. I
also do my hardest or least favor-
ite subjects first."
Jeff Rabak, a freshman pre-
med student, has also learned to
study in advance.
"I started studying a week be-
fore finals began. 1 studied ap-
proximately 10 hours a day."
Some students try to put off
studying as long as possible. Most
people have heard about "all-
nighters," all night cramming
sessions, before they came to col-
lege; and some people carry on
the tradition once they arrive.
Phil Silvio, a sophomore study-
ing computer science, said. "I
cram for finals. I don't get a
chance to really relax all week
except for going to the cafeteria's
snack nights with my friends!"
Dave Eshenower, a senior fin-
ance/MIS major, said, "Usually I
go three or four nights without
sleep. Unfortunately, I struggle to
stay awake during the tests; but
somehow 1 usually find a way to
pull a decent grade on most of the
finals."
Regardless of their own per-
sonal studying preferences, all of
the students agreed that every-
one must find a studying style
that best meets his or her own
needs and abilities.

"Have A Nice Holiday!"
Children usually stop get-
ting excited about Hal-
loween when they are
12 or so. When freshmen enter
college they are surprised to see
what a fun holiday Halloween
can be for young adults. Dorms
and private houses are decorated
with jack-o-lanterns, paper
ghosts, vampires, skeletons and
posters of ugly witches are on
almost every door. There are cos-
tume parties, where even shy
people feel free to mingle while
their identities are concealed.
Costumed IIP students can be
seen wandering around campus
and the Indiana area. These ugly
creatures are even seen uptown.
Haunted houses are held to
raise funds for needy groups
while entertaining people of all
ages. IL'P students are proud to
make and perform in these
houses, as both students and
townspeople pay to go through
them. The RHA-sponsored house,
held in Whitmyre Hall, had the
theme "Your Worst Nightmare."
In order to enable the crowds of
people to enjoy it. the hall stayed
open an e.xtra hour.
This Halloween happened to
fall on a Saturday, which intensi-
fied the carefree feeling that
most people seemed to feel. The
weather helped too. Orange, yel-
low and red leaves were on the
ground, yet it warmed up a little
for about a week to make this
Halloween perfect.
Thanksgiving break gave
many students the relaxation
that they needed after so many
weeks of haid work. Before leav-
ing for home, a lot of students
enjoyed a buffet-style Thanksgiv-
ing dinner at the cafeterias.
Almost everyone brought
Christmas decorations back with
them. Doois, windows, porches
and trees all sparkled with
strings of lights. The Christmas
tree lighting ceremony was held
in front of Sutton Hall on Decem-
ber 3. Christmas songs were sung
by hundreds of people including
"b Come, All Ye Faithful," "Joy
to the World", ■■HarkI The Herald
Angels Sing" and "Deck the
Halls." Almost everyone sang
along to the carols.
As usual, during finals week
the Co-Op Store had a sale on all
IIP clothing. Friends and family
received gifts like sweatshirts,
glasses, mugs and license plates.
In a sort of pre-Christmas spirit
many parents sent support bas-
kets and fruit baskets through
the RHA. The gifts came at the
perfect time, when thousands of
students were starting to feel the
pressures of finals.
In the middle of January, peo-
ple returned with twice as much
luggage, full of new sweaters, ra-
dios, games and other gifts. Most
students were anxious to return.
The break was needed after fin-
als, but by the beginning of Janu-
ary most students were starting
to miss life at ILP. Returning to
school was an event to look for-
ward to.

Trying To Find A Balance
The cim^ensus among
man\ people in Indiana
is that this town would
be dead without lUP. Many IL'P
students attest to this philoso-
phy, but their interpretation is
quite different.
Not only do IIP students pa-
tronize and support local busi-
nesses, but their parents often do
the same during breaks, week-
ends, football games and special
events. Local establishments ap-
preciate the business that lUP
draws and can rely heavily on
this business for profit. But how-
many times can a person walk
into an establishment only to be
assisted by an IL"P student'?
Chances are . . . quite often.
With increasing tuition and de-
creasing aid available, many stu-
dents join the part-time work
force in order to subsidize loans
from PHEAA, private banks or
Mom and Dad. But if a student is
wise, he can earn more than a
paycheck; along with the money
can come responsibility and
experience.
The experience a student gains
in a wisely chosen job can sur-
pass the requirements of being
just a resume-filler. Often, the
general business knowledge
gained in addition to the exper-
tise one learns in the specific
field may give that ever neces-
sary edge sought after by so
many prospective employers.
However, not all IIP students
are able to travel outside the con-
fines of our university to an off-
campus job. In these cases, cam-
pus jobs become the logical and
profitable alternative. With over
150 campus offices, a student can
have the opportunity to work,
live and study within a two- or
three-block area. College work-
study is a popular program at
IL'P. .Approximately 1350 stu-
dents are on federal payroll and
950 students are on state payroll
per semester. Each office pays a
student out of federal and state
funds allocated to the office's
budget. Campus employers rely
heavily on the student body for
much of their work force. Once
again, if a student is wise, he may
be able to use his campus employ-
ment for experience as well as a
pay check.
So the next time you go to the
mall, grocery store, bank, gas sta-
tion, restaurant or any of the col-
lege offices, take a look at the
staff of the establishment— there
is a good chance that an ILP face
may be part of that staff.
.Although not every ILP stu-
dent can or will work during a
semester, a great number of them
will work during extended
breaks. Their reasons for working
mirror those of students who
work while at campus:
"I need spending money."
"I have a loan payment due
every month."
"I have to help out my mom
and dad."
"My rent is due at the end of
every month."
"I didn't get very much aid."
"I didn't get a red cent from
the government."
"I need money."
"PHE.A.A screwed up again."
ILP working students are an
increasing majority and may turn
out to be among the best quali-
fied employees when they
graduate.

Going In And
Out With Style
Fashion on campus re-
flects a wide variety of
reasons at H'P, but the most
overwhelming reason seems to be
comfoit.
Eric Koller, a junioi- marketing
major, said his waidrobe consists
mainly of blue jeans and
sweatshirts.
"I usually get up five minutes
before my class starts, so 1 just
grab the first thing 1 see in my
closet," he said.
Tricia Tracey, a junior major-
ing in computer science, said she
likes to wear skirts because she is
most comfortable in them.
"1 don't like jeans," she said.
"They just don't look right on
me."
John Kennedy, a senior biology
major, .said once the temperature
hits 65 degrees, you'll never see
him in anything but shorts.
"I live in them in the summer,
but when it's cold out, I don't
care what I'm weaiing, as long as
it's warm!" he said.
Kelli Neyman, a freshman,
said she tries to keep up with the
latest styles.
"I like acid-washed jeans, or
whatever they're calling them
now, and big bulky sweaters,"
she said. "It's tough, though, be-
cause 1 have to buy my own
clothes, and I don't always have
the money to buy what 1 want."
Kelli admits her biggest down-
fall is buying accessories.
"Even if I'm just wearing
jeans, I like to dress them up with
jewelry," she said. "1 spend a lot
of money on earrings and shoes.
I've got millions of them."
Ed Critchlow, a sophomore ma-
joring in elementary education,
had a different outlook about
fashion.
"1 don't care what I look like
when I go to class, so it doesn't
matter what I wear," he said.
"Kris Carpenter, a junior, said
she used to think people "dressed
boring" at IIP.
"I'm from Philly and people
there dress a little wilder," she
said. "But 1 guess it all depends
on what makes you feel good and
what you're most comfortable
with."

Weekends: Roadtrip Or Bust!
Road trips have become
almost as much a part
of college life as any on-
campus extra-curricular activity.
Even for students who may not
have access to their own cars on
campus, road trippers somehow
always manage to get to their
destinations at the end of the
highway.
Beth is the perfect example. A
college sophomore, her goal this
year is to visit a different place
every weekend. Although she
doesn't have a car on campus, she
does manage to reach her
destinations.
One particular weekend, Beth
decided to visit Maryland. But
she had no transportation. She
scheduled a bus for a Friday af-
ternoon, and the night before she
noticed a sign in the library:
"Riders needed to Baltimore/D.C.
area." What terrific luck!! She
ran to the nearest phone.
So much for the bus. A new
road trip was in the works, and
this one looked much more prom-
ising. After all, buses are no fun.
Chances are slim that bussers
will be able to enjoy themselves
on a long trip, especially if riding
alone. But a trip with a friend, or
even with someone unfamiliar
who has offered a ride always
leaves road trip entertainment
open to just about anything. Be-
sides, it's always interesting to
get to know someone who's going
in the same direction— you're
bound to have something in
common.
Beth enjoyed her ride to Mary-
land with the same person who
had once been a stranger. Beth
enjoys "hitching a ride" with
someone going in the same direc-
tion, and looks forward to it quite
often.
As a matter of fact, Beth has
become addicted to road-tripping
almost every weekend.
It's the best way to GET
away," she says with a smile.
"Getting there can be half the
fun."
Even if there's no one in par-
ticular to visit at the end of a
road trip, the trip itself can often
be worth the long drive. "It's a
release," said lUP junior Joy
Koob, who emphasized the all-
too-frequent need to roadtrip.
"It's a get-away from school," she
said.
Perhaps the most popular of
all reasons to roadtrip is for a fun
vacation over spring break. "I'm
just going all over— lots of places,
lots of people to see," said lUP
senior Gayle Schmidt. Gayle's
"major road trip" will include vis-
its Niagra Falls, eastern Pennsyl-
vania and Georgetown.
Also popular over spring break
are road trips to various beaches
almost anywhere between the
Jersey Shore and Daytona Beach.
Party vans and buses are always
available for anyone who packs a
bikini and a beer mug, and is
ready for an always-fun road trip
to the many sandy beaches that
anxiously await college students
during spring break weeks—
which begin as early as the last
of February and end as late as
March 31.
Whenever your spring break,
or whenever the urge to road trip
hits, remember: you are not
alone.

CRS Boasts Variety At Low Cost
Campus Recreation Services
provides students, faculty
and staff with interesting
ways to relax.
This year alone they've gone to
Niagara Falls and many places in
Pittsburgh such as Phipps Conserva-
tory, Carnegie Museum and David
Lawrence Convention Center. They
also support skiing trips, ice skating
and rock climbing with the area.
CRS' main goal is to provide
enough ways for students to enter-
tain themselves at the smallest cost
possible. Although there are always
movies or parties to go to, CRS does
out-of-the-ordinary things to inter-
est people in other activities.
The activities can range from
highly physical to highly education-
al. But whatever area it's in, the
activity is more likely to catch atten-
tion and keep it. With the lack of
city activities in Indiana, people can
go to the city through CRS.
"CRS came about several years
ago as a consolidation of different
programs," said Dennis Hulings, di-
rector of Hadley Union and campus
recreation. It is supposed to coordi-
nate different activities on campus.
Hulings also said that when the
plans were being made for the Had-
ley Union Building, the recreation
center was taken into account. The
rec center is a convenient way to
exercise and lose a few pounds. The
proximity to campus is a definite
"plus."
Recently, CRS has had more and
more people responding to its ser-
vices. Hulings said attendance grows
every year. More people should take
advantage of what CRS offers— fun
and relaxation at a cheap price. And
who couldn't use both?

tivities can

Nationally, the good news for college
students was that student aid would be cut
less drastically due to a package that was
being worked out by Congress and the
President. A proposed bill would restrict
Pell Grands to freshmen and sophomores

The reason behind this was to minimize

From Twister tournaments to
plays and musicals, from all-
niglit film festivals to concerts and lec-
tures, there is always something hap-
pening at lUP to keep us moving. Every
weekend and throughout the week, stu-
dents can choose from movies on cam-
pus or in the local theaters. Besides its
Activities
offering of recent and classic movies,
the Activities Board consistently of-
fered new and innovative ways to keep
us entertained, such as two all-night
film festivals. Twister and Pictionary
Tournaments, a full-scale beach party,
and a substantial number of comedians
and bands. If these events weren't
^^^^^^^__ enough to keep one
in motion, cultural
events could always
be found. Lectures,
operas, plays, musi-
cals and art shows
abounded during the
yeai'. Perhaps one of
the most popular or
at least most visible
of all activities was
the lUP Marching
__^^_^^^ Band. This year's
band took its lively
show to the other side of the state for a
parade in Philadelphia honoring the
2l)0th anniversary of the U. S. Constitu-
tion. The band could also be seen and
heard at every football game, instilling
spirit in the team when spectators were
too numb to cheer. Unfoitunately, not
all of the activities available on campus
can be captured within these pages, but
some of the more memorable and
unique are offered to at least remind us
of the many opportunities we have to
kep ourselves entertained through the
sometimes long months of the academic
year.

Opera Depicts Labors Of Love
A trying test of love was the
basis for Mozart's comic opera
"Cosi Fan Tutte," performed by
the lUP Music Theatre for two
dates in November.
Translated as "Women are
Like That," the opera provided a
charming and contemporary view
of the trials of romance, although
the opera was written in the
1780s.
With the help of Don Alfonso,
an old bachelor played by Tracy
P. Muchesko, and Despina, a
chambermaid portrayed by Dana
Scott, two men decide to find out
exactly how much trust they can
place in their fiancees.
The fiance'es, sisters Fiordiligi
and Dorabella, (Kimberly Dick
and Diane Steiner,) became dis-
traught when their betrothed
(Erik Santos and Craig Cramer),
act as if they'd been called to
war. Alfonso then introduces the
women to two "Albanians," who
are of course the men in disguise.
Although reluctant and stead-
fast in their affections at fii'st,
with the help of Despina, the sis-
ters heed her advice and "Do
unto them as they do unto you,"
and try to forget about their men.
After a faked suicide attempt
by the Albanians (who have now-
switched women), the sisters
take pity on them and succumb to
their affections. The men lose
their bet with Alfonso, while
mourning that theii' loves were
untrue.
As in most comedies, all even-
tually turns for the best, the la-
dies are told of the devious plot of
disguises, and all are reconciled
and happy.
Although the opera itself was
lengthy, the fast-paced action,
lively libretto and eneigetic per-
formances made this a smooth,
enjoyable production.
Steiner and Dick as the sisters
were perfect characterizations of
the forlorn lovers, and theii' inner
turmoil is easily identified with
by the audience. Likewise, Santos
and Cramer are consistently con-
vincing and spontaneously hilari-
ous as they melodramatically
fake their suicides, and concede
to their lovers' infidelity.
Not to be outdone by the main
characters, Scott and Muchesko
provided independently strong
performances, and the scenes in-
cluding them were some of the
best of the performance.
The show was directed by Dr.
Sarah Mantel of the Music De-
partment, who was able to bring
out both the diamatic and vocal
intensities and virtuosity needed
to perform Mozart's demanding
score. The show was polished and
professional, and outstanding
performances by all cast mem-
beis were a high point which re-
mained throughout the duration
of the show.
Cosi Fan Tutte was commis-
sioned in Vienna in 1789, and Mo-
zarts difficult and intense music
is complemented perfectly by
Lorenzo da Ponte's sharp libretto.
The show's theme is one that re-
mains within society today, and it
is because of this that the opera
was enjoyable and quite realistic.

• Comedy Of Disguises In 'Twelfth Night'
Slapstick humor, talented
young actors, and the writing of
William Shakespeare all contrib-
uted to the success of the The-
ater-By-The-Grove production of
"Twelfth Night." The show ran in
Waller Hall from November 12-
21.
With 17 students in the cast
and dozens more working on the
artistic and production aspects of
the show, "Twelfth Night" pro-
vided an opportunity for both ma-
jors and non-majors to become in-
volved in the theater department.
Auditions were open to all IIP
students.
"Twelfth Night," one of Shake-
speare's most popular comedies,
is the story of Viola, a young
woman w ho takes a job as a page
to Duke Orsino, played by Matt
Vendetti, after being shipw-
recked off the coast of Illyria. In
order to obtain this position, \'io-
la, played by Cathy Plourde, had
to disguise herself as a man . She
called herself Cesario and gained
the Duke's good graces and be-
came his messenger.
While in the Duke's service, Vi-
ola finds herself torn between
her growing love for the Duke
and her duties as messenger to
his beloved Countess Olivia,
played by Amy George. Mean-
while, the Countess finds herself
becoming increasingly attracted
to "Cesario." In the end, Viola
reveals herself and is paired with
the Duke, while Countess Olivia
falls for Viola's long lost brother,
Sebastian, who has been pre-
sumed dead after the shipwreck.
As a diverting subplot, the hi-
jinks of Malvolio, (Dave Kinkead)
the Countess's steward; Maria
(Ann Labar) her attendant: Fabi-
an, (Audra Dibert) her page: Tes-
te (Greg Rapp) the resident
clown: Sir Toby Belch, (Kevin
Strausser) a relative of the
Countess; and Sir Andrew Ague-
cheek, Toby's companion, played
by Mike Marra, kept the audience
entertained throughout the play,
Malvolio's incessant put-downs
and insults provoke the others to
seek their good-natured revenge,
and things get progressively com-
plicated by the end of the show.
Audiences particularly enjoyed
this frantic aspect of the play,
and responded well to the perfor-
mances. "Twelfth Night " was di-
rected by Barbara Blackledge,
who has been working with with
Theater-By-The-Grove produc-
tions for many years. Blackledge
described the play as "full of top-
sy-turvy inversions," and ex-
plained that its title comes from a
centuries-old custom wherein
novice monks would change
places with the abbot for one day
a year on the "twelfth night" af-
ter Christmas. This concept was
well-demonstrated in "Twelfth

West Side Story
A Music and Tlieater Production
West Side Story, presented by
the music and theater depart-
ments in late February, tells of
the trials of two teenage lovers
on New York's west side in the
late '60s.
Tony, played by Andy Talaro-

member of the Jets, a white

lems it created didn't get in the
way of any of the talented people
who brought the musical to life
at I UP.

Vonnegut Brings Wit To Fisher
Increased technology will
thiow everybody out of a job, ac-
cording to Kurt Vonnegut, who
spoke at Fishei' Auditorium in
April.
Vonnegut, authoi' of novels
such as Slaughterhouse Five and
Cat's Cradle, attacked television
and computers.
"Nobody will have a job any-
more. How exciting for every-
body," Vonnegut said. "The ro-
bots are going to take all of you
away from being alive."
"The most important thing you
can do with your lives right now
is to wake up from the dream of
television," he said.
Vonnegut also spoke out
against news anchors and the
government, and called televison
anchors "actors living off hand-
outs from the government."
"it's important for you to real-
ize what is really going on and
what is impoitant to you."
Finally, the critically ac-
claimed author denounced Rea-
gan's Star Wars plans, calling it
an "enoimous swindle" and a
"dopey dream."
After a brief question and an-
swer period, Vonnegut met with
members of the capacity crowd at
a reception.

Fair Showcases Clubs
"The Activities Fair is a stu-
dent development opportunity
whereby lUP students can come
and see many of the more active
student organizations at lUP,"
according to Sherrill Kuckuck, di-
rector of student development
program.s.
The Activities Fair, always
held on the Thursday after
Homecoming, is a way to show-
case some of the things available
to students.
"The students can come
through, be struck with the vari-
ety and have the opportunity to
really talk to someone who it is
meaningful to," Kuckuck said.
She said the fair isn't a money-
maker or just a membership
Students browse and check out what's out
there to get involved in at lUP,
drive; it is a chance to clear up
the myth or steroetype you had
about the group and give them
exposure to the students. "It's an
opportunity to get to know the
organizations with funny names,
to experience a profession, to
know faculty members, and to
add involvement to your resume."
This year, Kuckuck said they
used a more novel form of adver-
tisement. "In addition to the post-
ers, Penn ads and printed bal-
loons, a brightly colored clown
passed out candy with informa-
tion tags attached to them in the
Oak Grove."
Upon entering the the Multi-
purpose room in the HUB, one
could easily see the time and ef-
fort that went into the project.
The fair hosted such activities as
a student riding a ten-speed bike,
WIUP broadcasting music, the Bi-
ology Club's reptile demonstra-
tion, a computer photography
demonstration, numerous frater-
nities and sororities, and an end-
less variety of baked goods.
Kuckuck added that there is no
fee to set up a table, and depend-
ing on your needs, your group
could have one or two tables. She
said that the groups with food or
messy projects were able to set
up near the kitchen.

lUP Band: Making History
As we look back on the 1987
edition of the lUP maiching
band, a new chapter in both lUP
and national history can be
written.
This year the marching band
had the opportunity to make the
kind of mark that your children
will someday read about, as the
200 member music and auxiliary
unit proudly performed at Phila-
delphia's "We The People, 200"
celebration, September 17-20,
1987, which marked the 200th an-
niversary of the signing of the
Constitution.
During the celebration, the
band marched in a nationally-
televised parade before an audi-
ence of more than 300,000 people
in downtown Philadelphia, one of
which included President Ronald
Reagan, and served as the official
band for a special session of the
Pennsylvania General Assembly
where it was applauded by such
prominent public figures such as
Governor Robert Casey and re-
tired U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Warren Buiger.
"I'm very proud and honored
that the I UP band was able to
participate in this historic cele-
bration; after all, there won't be
another one like it for another
100 years," Dr. Charles E. Casa-
vant, director of the band, said.
Some of the other highlights of
the 1987 tour which also put the
lUP band in the spotlight include:
a special indoor concert at North
Penn High School in Landsdale,
Pa., a noontime performance at
Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the
lUP-Towson St. football game in
Towson, Md., the Eagles vs. New
Orleans Saints professional foot-
ball game in Veteran's stadium,
Philadelphia, and an exhibition
at a large high schol competition
at Whitehall High School in
AUentown.
In addition to making national
history, the lUP band has added
new pages to its own proud histo-
ry, which covers more than half a
century.
Since it was first organized by
Mr. D.O. Slyker as a 60-piece non-
marching ensemble at the Indi-
ana Normal School in 1921, the
band has steadily grown in size
and spirit to reach the level of
excellence audiences enjoy today.
During the 1960s, Dr. Daniel
DiCicco became director of the
band, which performed at such
major events as the Boardwalk
Bowl in 1968 when lUP played
the University of Delaware, and
at a Colts-Packers professional
football game in Baltimore. His
band was billed a "marching
band with a show sound," playing
tunes from "West Side Story,"
"The Sound of Music," and TV
themes and marches which were
arranged by Charles Davis.
DiCicco commented that his fa-
voi'ite show didn't involve the use
of instruments at all; it was done
with barbershop-style singing,
which proves the versatility of
the band.
In 1976 Dr. Charles Casavant
Jr., son of a nationally known
field technician, took up the ba-
ton as director of the marching
band, and more than 65 years af-
ter its first peiformance, the
band continues the spirit and
drive that was established by Di-
Cicco's band and the bands be-
fore his.
Casavant has brought his own

unique style to the band, blend-
ing traditional marching songs,
pop tunes, jazz songs and ballads
into precision drill, drum corps-
style shows, which can be seen
while the band supports the lUP
football team at both home and
away games and at several high
school band festivals each year.
This year was exciting for the
marching band as it traveled to
high school festivals in Tyione
and Oil City, Pa. and cheered the
IL'P football team to its second
consecutive PSAC Division II
championship title in West Ches-
ter, Pa.
The 1987 marching band, un-
der the direction of Casavant and
drum majors Brad Genevro,
Shawn Puller and Jim Jolly,
thrilled audiences with such
Pfiotos by Jim tt'dJtetield
songs as "Fanfare and Allegro,"
"Coconut Champagne," "Gaite
Parisienne," "How Great Thou
Art," and, in keeping with the
patriotic spirit of the season's
events, ".America the Beautiful
and Sandi Patti's "Star Spangled
Banner." .After every show, the
band also played a moving rendi-
tion of their trademark, "Amaz-
ing Grace."

Although we may not always re-
member it, academics are the
primary reason we're here at lUP. Stu-
dents at lUP have over 50 majors from
which to choose, and have opportuni-
ties to enhance their formal studying
through internships, cooperative educa-
Academics
tion programs, and exchange programs
with schools around the world and
throughout the United States. Many of
our experiences and activities can also
benefit us academically. Many students
receive practical experience through
jobs on campus and on-campus intern-
ships, while other students benefit
from work-study positions. One of
the most interest-
'———~'~~~~ jj^g aspects of aca-
demics at lUP is
the student and
professor ex-
change programs.
Each year lUP
hosts professors
from universities
in countries such
as Nigeria, India
^^^^^^^^ and China. Like-
wise, lUP served
as host for 424 students from 64 coun-
tries such at Thailand, India, China and
Malasia. Adult and handicapped stu-
dents also play an important role in
academics, and the numbers of these
students continue to grow each year. Of
course, academics are not all smiling
statistics. Students are endlessly con-
fronted with the problems of schedul-
ing, drop/add, and finding a quiet place
to study. These same problems confront
students at lUP's two branch campuses
in Kittaning and Punxsutawney, who
after a year come to the main campus
in Indiana to further their academic
studies.

The lUP
Council Of Trustees
k he Council of Trustees is a
^^ group made up of eleven
H" members, two of which are
^ alumni and one being a
student.
They do many things on campus. The
recommendation and retention of lUP's
president is approved through the coun-
cil. They also establish the university
broad policies and approve them, as
well as approve academic degrees, poli-
cies in student conduct, use of institu-
tional facilities, programs and academ-
ics, and organizational units.
The Council of Trustees approves
lUP's budget request and the annual
budget. All fees except the student ac-
tivity fee and tutition are established
through the council.
Ten members of the council are ap-
pointed by the governor and approved
by state senate. A committee on campus
recommends three to five names to the
chancellors office. The prospective
members are then interviewed, and a
recommendation is sent to the gover-
nor. If the senate approves, the student
becomes a member of the council.
The responsibilities of the council
have changed over the years, said IIP
president Dr. John Welty. In 1875, when
the Indiana Stae Normal School opened,
it was a private, non-profit organiza-
tion. Then in 1927, the school became
Indiana State Teacher's College.
There have been modifications to fit
the needs of each stage of the universi-
ty. The last major modification, said
Welty, was when the State System of
Higher Education was established.
The council has been involved in
many major activities at IL'P. The ap-
proval and development of the cogener-
ation plant was largely done by the
council, as was the Capital Campaign,
which was designed to raise money for
the foundation for lUP. .Also, the people
chosen for honorary doctorates are ap-
proved by the council and recruited lat-
er from help with lUP's various other
programs.
In the future, the Trustees will be
performing their usual duties, along
with working with Welty in the plans
for the university.
"We've been fortunate to have a
strong group of trustees," said Welty,
"to support the university in progress
made over the last few years."

Back to school
Adults Hit The Books
I Iberta Omundson gets up at
HB 6:15 every morning. She
B^ showers, eais and is out the
I door on her way to college by
' 7:30. Her day consists of
classes and her work-study job in lUP's
Publications office until 4:30 p.m. She
returns home to fi.x something to ear.
rest a little bit and study.
Alberta Omundson is a 46-year
grandmother and one of the many
adults who has made the decision to
return to school.
■'I'm doing it just for fun," Omundson
said. "It seems that people my age have
quit trying to learn new things in life.
Not me. I want this stimulation and
challenge of learning. It makes me feel
good about myself."
Omundson started taking classes and
working part-time at Publications in
January, she majors in English and is
married with three grown children and
one 0-year-old grandchild.
■"My son, Jeff, who is 14 and still
living at home, thinks it's really neat
that I'm going to school," she said. "My
other son and daughter, who no longer
live at home, have mixed feelings."
Omundson said she receives the most
support from her husband. Ken.
"At the beginning he was against it."
she said. "But he understands that it's
very important to me. and he supports
me now. He and Jeff pitch in to help me
with the housework now. I still cook,
but they do the cleaning up afterwards.
"I've had to rearrange my life a little
better so that everything gets done, but
it's nothing that I regret. In fact. I'm
thriving on it,"
Omundson said she doesn't feel out
of place in her classes.
"I feel the younger students are my
peers," she said. "They have the same
problems I do in getting classwork done.
"I don't think the younger students
feel funny with me being in school, but
what I do get is people my own age w ho
want to know why I'd be crazy enough
to come back to school. What can I say'?
I enjoy it. Even after I earn my degree,
I'll probably keep taking classes. The
degree is not as important as learning.
"I'm not quitting life yet, and I rec-
ommend that other adults don't either.
If you're an adult considering returning
to school, do it."
Those two words, "do it," are the
exact words that stuck in Christine
Johnston's head when she was consid-
ering going to college. A 25-year-old.
married secretary who works full time
at lUP's Counseling Service. Johnston
said she was nervous about returning.
"It was something I just had to get
over," she said. "I wanted to do if, so I
just took a deep breath and started
calling for information to get started."
Johnston said the biggest adjustment
she had to make was getting used to
having younger people around her all
the time in her classes.
"I know I'm not really that much
older." she said. "It's just something
that I'm aware of and need to get over,
I used to feel insecure and uneasy be-
cause of my age, but now I feel I've
learned to gear myself down and just
enjoy the class."
Johnston said she expected school to
be harder and more academic than
what she found it to be.
"I thought for sure I'd find myself
stuck in a class that I would feel totally
lost in." she said. "Instead I find myself
so absorbed in it that sometimes I feel I
need to restrain myself from asking so
many questions.
"I think that returning to school is
food for a person's self-esteem. It
makes you feel good about yourself. All
you can think of after you finish a class
is. 'Wow, I did it.'"

The eternal paradox .
Internships Provide Experience
t's the eternal paradox of
I the college student.
We're denied job after job
because of lack of experi-
ence, yet how can we get the
experience without ever having a job?
This question can be answered in the
form of internships.
More then 50 different programs are
available at IIT for students in all 100
major subjects in more than 40 depart-
ments. Each semester and throughout
the summer, hundreds of students, usu-
ally upperclassmen, temporarily em-
bark on life in the "real world."
Although only 35 per cent of intern-
ships are paid, most students happily
take a position for the credits earned
and for that all-important job pre-req-
uisite: experience.
"You read the book, but it's a lot
different seeing it in person," said
Christopher Lee, a senior political sci-
ence major who interned in Pittsburgh
with republican State Senator Mike
Fisher.
Lee spent his spring internship reser-
aching for a project involving the Janu-
ary 2 oil spill on Pittsburgh's Mononga-
hela River. He also traveled to
Harrisburg weekly, spending three days
with Fisher at the capital and learning
how our state government operates.
Like many student interns, Lee expects
his internship to lead to a summer job
working on Fisher's re-election
campaign.
Robert Lepley, an intern with the
Cleveland Force Indoor Soccer team in
Ohio, also spoke of the value of the
experience.
"1 learned a lot of practical stuff that
I never learned in college," Lepley, a
senior marketing major, said.
Althoug he mis.sed the college life
and had to get used to getting up each
day for work, he said, "You're actually
doing stuff instead of just reading
about it."
Lepley spent his senior spring as a
marketing intern for the Force, and
worked in various departments includ-
ing public relations, community rela-
tions, sales, and accounting, as well as
doing what he calls "gopher work."
"I'm the lowest on the totem pole,"
he said, but added that he has learned
what it takes to run a professional
sports franchise. Although Lepley
doesn't get paid, he said this internship
will directly relate to his future job in
the group sales for sports marketing.
Likewise, the practicality of the
work done during an internship has
aided senior journalism major Susan
Reno in looking for a permanent job.
Reno worked in the public relations de-
partment at Harmarville Rehabilitation
Center in Pittsburgh during the sum-
mer of her junior year.
Through this internship, she was
able to expand on the skills she learned
while at IIP. She worked with the pub-
lications editor of the center, wrote
news releases, contributed to an em-
ployee newsletter, and designed, wrote
and edited a brochure, among other
duties.
"I think I got more out of that three
months than I got out of three years of
classes," Reno said.
"It's something you can't get out of a
hook."

Calling The Shots
v^ hat major has its students
£|j| woi'king directly with violent
Mf ' patients, cancer victims and
r* AIDS victims?
* What kind of student
would actually want to work directly
with any of these people? IL'P students
do this twice a week during the clinical
care portion of theii' student nursing
careers.
Student nurses learn about home
health care, nuising home patient caie,
pediatrics, obstetrics, medical and sur-
gical duties and managerial duties at
various area health-care facilities.
Barb Stelma, a senior nursing major,
talked about her typical day dui'ing
clinical.
"We have to get up early to get ready
and travel however far away we aie
assigned, providing our own
transportation.
"Once we get to the site, we read the
duty nurse's reports, then begin our
own assessment of the patient. After
the assessment, we are responsible for
dispensing the patient's prescribed
medication and then begin morning
care, which included bathing and
feeding.
"Our days are not really typical,"
Stelma said. ".Any number of things
could happen during a day, from help-
ing patients' relatives to sitting with
confused patients."
lUP nursing majors spend eight
hours a day, two days a week in health
care facilities. They spend about nine
hours a week in class and are expected
to practice in learning labs during the
week.
"In oui' second semestei' sophomeie
year we begin practicing on manne-
quins, giving shots and doing intraven-
eous work," Stelma said. "We also are
expected to use the computer lab and
programs about disease symptoms and
diagnosis.
"We also have a big-buddy program
where an upperclassman helps the
newly capped sophomore nursing
major."
From mock patient care, nursing ma-
jors move into the nursing homes, psy-
chiatric wards and hospitals, being con-
fronted with despondent patients,
violent patients and AIDS victims.
"We are assigned one patient and we
try to communicate with them. It takes
a while, but you do get them to trust
you. Soon after the patient begins look-
ing for you on the days you come with
their hair combed."
But clinical care isn't always easy.
Student nui'ses have to face violent pa-
tients and AIDS victims.
"One of my friends who worked at
Torrence was checking on patients in a
security ward when she was slammed
against the wall," Stelma said. "We do
have to watch, but we realize this could
happen to anyone.
"I have had to work with AIDS vic-
tims, but it is not as scary. My patients
are so weak from the diseases AIDS
opens the body to that they can't hurt
us.
"I haven't had problems with my pa-
tients, but others have," Stelma said.
"Some are hateful and don't care about
the safety of their caretakers. You have
to watch these patients."
The nursing program is an expensive
learning experience.
"We spent about $250 the first three
semesters on books. After that we spent
about $100 for books each semester of
the junior and senior years," Stelma
said. "We also have to buy an assess-
ment kit including our stethescopes for
$60. But then we have to buy our uni-
forms and pay for standardized tests to
piepaie for the state boai'ds."
The nursing program is not all work
and no play, however. There is a na-
tional nursing fraternity on campus, a
state student nursing club and nursing
students hold a wine and cheese party
to celebrate the end of the year.

Student Teaching:
A hazing into the profession . . .
■2 * tudent teachers are a
IP* gateway in which college
f students and faculty can re-
live their elementaiy and
secondary school dass. By
listening to these young future teach-
ers, one can sense a kind of reminisc-
ing. But there is also a strong sense of
determination.
Student teaching is a different expe-
rience for everyone. Dave Godissart, a
communications education senior,
called it "a hazing into the profession."
Godissart chose teaching because of a
responsibility to educate people.
"The American public is not trained
to the high degree of liteiacy it should
be," Godissait said. He mentioned his
interest in theater as a reason for
choosing communications education.
Godissart claimed student teaching
takes up 24 hours of his day.
"I get about five hours of sleep a
night," he said.
"They're (the students) a riot," he
said, "but it's still hard wwk."
Godissart said teaching is a large
amount of responsibility and that edu-
cation majors don't lealize how much
until they actually teach. He said the
training is good, although it's "stilted"
because it's not the real world. Student
teachers still have a cooperative teach-
er who acts almost like a professor, and
Godissart says student teachers are one
notch under ihtni.
Godissart di-sn't think there is
much differen ' between kids today
and when he was in school. .\nd al-
though he thought being behind the the
desk would be a nice experience, he
finds he still has work to do, such as
grading.
Jackie Quadei', an eaiiy childhood
education major, enjoys the fact that
she gets children "fresh" — right from
the beginning. She watches their' pro-
gress as they grow from nothing intd
something she has a hand in creating.
Children today know more at a youn-
ger age because they are forced to grow-
up faster-, Quader- said.
"They're not as naive."
"I want to be a teacher because in
our profession, we need better teach-
ers," Quader remarked. "I can better
the education of younger- childer-en by
giving the fullest potential to my
pr-ofession."
She described student teaching as
"cramming for a test every single
night." .All she does, she said, is sleep,
eat, and drink. However, it pays off
because Quader feels older-, more ma-
ture, and r-esponsible, becauese she is in
charge of the students' education.
Sometimes it can be a bit scary when
she feels she's "cheating" them. Quader
said she feels like she's cheating her
students when she doesn't do her best.
Student teaching to Quader- is prepa-
ration for the real thing.
"The students can be a pain and test
your patience." she said, "but usually
they'r-e curious and fun."
Julie Dittrich, who taught secondar-y
biology education, says her students
were great.
"Generally they're all real nice and
are always talking to you about current
social issues," she said. "They always
know- all the new music."
Julie liked teaching at the high
school level because of the challenge it
presented. She said high .school stu-
dents are more on top of things, and
their- curiosity makes them question
more ideas.
For Dittrich, education is one of the
biggest concerns in .-Xmerica because
"young people are our furture."
She considers student teaching an
internship for teachers. She said you
are treated like staff; "a full-fledged
teacher."
"It's a great learning experience,"
Dittrich said.
Diane .Miller is an elementary educa-
tion major who feels teaching is a very
rewarding pr-ofession.
"It takes special people to do it," she
said.
".Always remember what it's like to
be sitting in the classroom." Miller said,
and added that keeping in touch is
important.
Student teachers at UP, whether
they realize it or not. are keeping in
touch with more than just their stu-
dents. They are in touch with two dif-
fer-ent worlds: college and a secondary
or elementary school. Because of them,
we can have better knowledge of what
our future holds.

Scheduling made simple
Students Call For Classes
IP experimented this year
with registration by tele-
phone in an effort to make
scheduling easier.
Fred Sehring, lUP's assis-
tant registrar, said that telephone reg-
istration will enable touchtone phones
to replace computer terminals that are
presently used for scheduling.
Students enter their social security
and personal indentification number at
their scheduled time. According to
Sehring, there will also be a make-up
time for students who can't get through
or miss their time.
"It will eliminate the student having
to go to the site and stand in lines,"
Sehring said.
Another advantage is the opportuni-
ty to drop or add classes any number of
times within a 24-hour period of the
scheduled appointment time.
During the fall semester, 548 stu-
dents registered by phone for the
spring semester. The phone system was
overloaded the first day, but registrar
Donald Seagren and many students con-
sidered the trial run a success.
The remaining 452 students that took
part in the trial run either chose to go
through the standard registration pro-
cess in the Blue Hoom of Sutton Hall or
could not get through the tied-up phone
lines.
The registrar's office polled the par-
ticipants and got 00 per cent response.
"The results were fair," Sehring said.
The average rating was 4.15 out of 5
points for student .satisfaction, he said.
in April, approximately 2,400 stu-
dents considered the trial run a success
tried to register by phone. Tentatively
the system will be used campus-wide in
the fall for Spring 1990 or Spring 1990
for fall.

A taste of US
lUP Style
M , veryone has a tough time ad-
u justing to the college experi-
^ ence. But imagine being over
8000 miles from home and
adjusting in a completely dif-
ferent world. IIP, with the most active
foreign student program in the state of
Pennsylvania, strives to accommodate
the needs of its over 400 international
students. They come from Sweden,
France, Kngland, Africa, India, and the
list goes on and on. Some are interested
in finishing their education at lUP and
some simply use their opportunity to
learn more about America.
Cheung King Wang is from the Brit-
ish colony of Hong Kong. Like many
international students, there was an
initial problem with the language barri-
er. It took Cheung a long time to make
friends. He feels that Hong Kong is
much more conservative, and had a
hard time relating to the more relaxed
attitude of young Americans.
"I feel free here . . .," Cheung says
referring to his new-found indepen-
dence. Cheung plans to finish his edu-
cation at lUP.
Fabrice Picon is from the city of
Nancy in France. Here he is working on
his masters degree in communications.
Fabrice feels that the United States
is much more conservative than his
home in France and remarks that Indi-
ana, especially, is that way. Working at
the radio station, WIl'P, Fabrice ex-
pected to meet mostly Americans as
friends.
Although he enjoys the open-minded
attitudes of his co-workers, he adds, ". .
. because of the programs here, most of
my friends are international students,
like me."
These programs are organized by the
International Students Club. He makes
the further observation that "there is a
strong identity among the international
students, especially the Europeans and
Latins."
Leaving in May, after finishing his
masters, he will return to the L'niversi-
ty of Nancy to pursue his masters in
English.
Vincent Aderiye hails from the re-'
spectable West End of London, En-
gland. Vincent has make many acute
observations of Americans since his ar-
rival.
"It seems," he says, "that Americans
are intrigued by the international stu-
dents, unfortunately not really enough
to get to know them well." Vincent is a
marketing major who says he didn't
have a hard time making friends. ^le
likes it here because, he says, "You
know where you stand with Americans.
They're not afraid to tell you exactly
how thev feel, 1 like that."

ith both a television and
■■■ radio station available,
Mf students at lUP can bet-
r ter prepare themselves to
enter a fast-growing field.
A 13-hour telethon produced by
WIUP-TV benefitting the Salvation
Army was the most rewarding project
undertaken during Fall 1987, accord-
ing to the station's program director,
Meg Shuey.
"It was a big, big success," Shuey
said.
The telethon, under the direction of
assistant program director and special
projects director Bruce Huffman,
raised more than $1,000 in private
donations.
"It was a lot of work, but it was fun
to do. A lot of us didn't know what to
expect until it happened. In the end it
worked out well and I'm happy we did
it," Huffman said.
"We do a lot of locally originated
programming; we produce nine shows
in all," Shuey said. "We're a complete-
ly student-run station. I think that's
important because we have a lot of
say in what we do," she added.
There are more than 100 volunteer
members at the station. "They are
needed just to make the station
work," Shuey said.
WIUP-TV produces two talk shows,
news and sports shows, a music show
and a cooking show and is an affiliate
of National College Television (NCTV)
which provides more programming for
the station.
The station's manager is Jim Ka-
pustik. Their faculty advisor is Dr.
Jay Start.
WIUP-FM, on the other hand, orga-
nized a news staff that is competitive
with area commercial stations, Mike
Streissguth, the station manager, said.
The growth and stabilization of
WIUP-FM's "FM 90 News" program,
which began in January 1987, has be-
come a great success, according to
Streissguth. "We're the only half-hour
news show in the area," he added.
"The news team is certainly grow-
ing and we plan to cover much more
local news," news director Dan Won-
ders said.
WIUP-FM is licensed by the Feder-
al Communication Commission and is
a fully operational public service ra-
dio station serving Indiana County. It
is also a volunteer student-operated
station with the exception of general
manager and advisor, Gail Wilson,
and its chief engineer.
"I would like WIUP-FM to be
known as the only station of its kind
in the area, offering Indiana County
classical music, jazz, bluegrass music
and classical rock music commercial-
free," Streissguth said. "We also have
the area's only New Age music show
and carry the Metropolitan Opera and
Philadelphia Orchestra," he added.

Living On The Edge
I I'P's branch campuses pro-
r vide students with an alter-
H native to the fast-paced cam-
f^ pus life in Indiana. Branch
' campuses are smaller and
more individualized. Althouj^h they are
beneficial in many ways, there are dis-
advantages also.
Lisa Perfetto, a sociology major from
Erie, attends the Kittanning campus.
She feels main campus could help the
blanches. Thei'e is no bookstore and the
library is not open on Sundays.
Students at the branch campuses pay
activity fees, but have nothing to show
for it, says journalism major Kristy
Pierce of Homei- City. They also have
security problems at Kittanning, since
some residence hall doors can be un-
locked with an 1-card.
There is also a lack of representation
in the I'enn, she .said. The student
union at Kittanning is no bigger than a
house. It contains two pool and ping-
pong tables, a small color TV, vending
machines and foui' tables to eat on. It is
not much bigger than a main campus
residence hall lounge.
Dann McDermott, an Altoona fresh-
man majoring in math, stresses the
need foi' a bookstore at the branch cam-
puses. He .says it gets to be a hassle to
go back and forth to main campus to
get books. And if a class is dropped, the
student must go back to main to sell the
book back and get a new one.
Visitation hours are strict at Kittan-
ning, says McDermott. No one may visit
the other residence hall until noon, and
they must leave by midnight on the
weekdays and 2 a.m. on the weekends.
Mike Tomera, an accounting major
from Johnstown, .said at Punxsutawney
they could add a better- library and cou-
ple of residence halls.
"It's like going to high school," says
Nick Duranko, a Punxsy graduate ma-
joring in psychology. There are nr) mov-
ie theaters and two shopping centers.
The biggest thing to happen, he said, is
the opening of a new r'estaur-ant.
Although there are many problems
with branch campuses, a lot of people
had good things to say about them.
Pierce says, "I'm really glad 1 came
here." She knows people and they are
like a close-knit family.
McDermott says, "It gets you into the
college scene slowly." He studies more
since there is less to do.
And, of course, there is always "the
Dungeon" for hard-core studiers. "The
Dungeon" is a very quiet place to study
in the bottom of the academic building

of time there because the library closes
early.
In spite of some of the problems at
the branches, its advantages seem to
outweigh its disadvantages, according
to the students. The branch campuses
benefit those who need the academic

The
Winning
Edge
ROTC
Common military skills, such as defensive fighting positions, are taught during
ROTC lab
96
kk ention the phrase ROTC to most
£■ lUP students and many of them
W^ will conjure images of individ-
P^ uals in camouflaged uniforms
with short hair marching
around campus. Yet these images repre-
sent the surface of one of the most exten-
sive academic programs offered at lUP.
Since its introduction in 1953, ROTC has
become increasingly popular. Now roughly
50% of the freshmen and 10".. of all stu-
dents on campus are involved in ROTC. If
you want to find an officer training pro-
gram larger than IL'P's, chances are that
you will have to look at the United States
military academies.
Where does all of the enthusiasm come
from? There are several reasons the pro-
gram is so popular. Much of the popularity
stems from the fact that ROTC can be
taken in lieu of the university's physical
education requirements. Still another rea-
son ROTC attracts such a volume of stu-
dents can be attributed to just curiosity. It
is a change of pace from other classes. The
third, and most obvious, reason students
are attracted to ROTC is to obtain a com-
mission in the United States .-^rmy. ROTC.
which is short for Reserve Officers Train-
ing Corps, makes is possible to become a
second lieutenant. Upon successful com-
pletion of the courses, cadets are made
officers in either the regular .\rmy. the
Reserves or the National Guard.
Like any other academic program. ROTC
has its requirements. Students attend
class for two hours and a lab for an hour
and a half each week. The classes study
anything from military history to leader-
ship techniques. During the lab, cadets are
put into different sections called compa-
nies. .AH of the companies at lUP, includ-
ing the branch campuses, form the War-
rior Battalion. The labs are staffed and
taught by cadets acting in various leader-
ship positions. The activities conducted at
lab range from the very military, like the
basics of camouflage to the purely fun,
such as the ice skating lab.
Labs are not the only thing designed for
fun. ROTC offers a variety of other inter-
esting and challenging activities. They
range from the bi-annual rappeling to the
military ball. If these things are of no
interest to the student, there are also sev-
eral social clubs sponsored through ROTC.
Not everybody who joins ROTC during
their freshmen year will finish their senior
year with a commission. The military life-
style is not for everyone. Yet just because
the majority of the students will not finish
the program doesn't mean they don't learn
anything. The experiences from ROTC can
last a lifetime. Whether it is increasing
your self-esteem or improving your ability
to deal with people, ROTC can help. In the
long run ROTC can give students the win-
ning edge to be a success in all of their
future endeavors, civilian or military.

basic skill needed by any officer in the United States Army. Bottom left:

all cadets the chance to teach. Below: Rappeling is one of the biggest events

Sports can take a variety of
forms at lUP. The most visible
and publicized sport this year was the
lUP football team, and the team didn't
let anyone down as it went on to win
the state title for the second year in a
row against West Chester. The team
also went on to a play-off game in Flori-

da for a bid at the national title. Fans
even braved the minus-twenty wind
chill factor to watch their team win the
title at West Chester. Unfortunately.
fan support did not extend to some of
the other sports such as soccer, field
hockey, basketball and baseball even
though the women's basketball and
gymnastics teams
completed highly
successful years. Op-
portunities to partici-
pate in sports were
prevalent, as intra-
murals were avail-
able to all. Fraterni-
ties and sororities,
dormitories or just
groups of friends
teamed up to com-
pete against one an-
other in year-long in-
tramurai sports.
These intramurals as well as varsity
sports made the seasons move quickly,
and before we knew it, cross-country
became winter and spring track, and
football was long forgotten for baseball
and Softball. These activities provided
entertainment for the spectators and
e.xercise for the participants. Student
athletes must also maintain a quality
academic standing, and for the excep-
tional scholar-athlete, all-star status
can be attained.

'87 Season Spells Disappointment
The lUP soccer team entered
the season hoping to reverse the
past two losing seasons. They fin-
ished the year with a 7-10-1
record.
The season did not open well
for the Indians. They traveled to
New Jersey for the Sunkist Glass-
boro Tournament and dropped
two games 2-1 to Longwood and
Marshall.
Next the team traveled to
Penn State Behrand. They out-
shot PSU 3 to 1 but still lost be-
cause of defensive errors.
The Indians lost their first two
home games with a 1-0 loss to
.Allegheny and a 4-0 loss to Divi-
sion I Robert Morris.
lUP finally ended their losing
streak with a 3-1 win over visit-
ing St. Francis. L'nlike the previ-
ous games, the Indians came out
strong and dominated play. Soph-
omore Cliff Wicks opened the
scoring with a nice feed from ju-
nior Demetrios Demetriades. In
the second half the team came
out flat and gave up a tying goal.
However, they regained their
composure and control of the
game. Hammond scored the win-
ning goal on a penalty kick and
another for insurance on a solo
run.
The team won its second in a
row at St. \'incent. Scoring for
the Indians were Jack Pacalo,
Hammond and Demetriades.
"We played a really good game.
Everything seemed to click. The
whole team had an outstanding
game," said senior defender Scott
Russell.
Ne.xt the team came out of a
hard-fought game against Gene-
va with a 4-2 victory and their
third straight win. The team
started slowly but came back to
win with goals by John Sharkey,
Rich Whitmore, Wicks and
Hammond.
The Indians' winning streak
came to and end with a 1-0 loss to
the West Virginia .Mountaineers.
The team traveled to Blooms-
burg and came away with a 3-1
loss. They opened their PS.AC sea-
son with a 0-0 tie with California.
The team returned to their
winning ways with a 3-1 victory
over conference rival Slippery
Rock. Whitmore, Hammond and
Sharkey scored for lUP.
The Indians lost the ne.xt home
game against regional rival Gan-
non 4-0.
The next home game w-as im-
portant for lUP. If they won, they
would clinch the western title
and earn a trip to the state game.
Unfortunately, lUP ran into a
red-hot Lock Haven team and
was totally outplayed 7-0.
The Indians improved for the
home game against Frostburg.
They outshot the visitors 3-1 and
won 2-0 with goals from Deme-
triades and sophomore John
Velich.
The team exploded offensively
against Westminster and won 8-0.
Scoring for I UP were Wicks, Ye-
lich and Tim Schoener with one
goal each, and Whitmore and
Hammond scoiing two and three
goals respectively.
Next lUP went into overtime
with the University of Pitts-
burgh-Johnstown and won 1-0
with a goal from Jack Pacalo.
The last game of the season
ended on a sour note. The Indians
hosted Pitt and lost 4-0.
The team will lose four start-
ers to graduation. They are: for-
ward Todd Hammond, midfielder
John Sharkey, defender Scott
Russell and goalkeeper Jeff
Painter.
Four lUP players were selected
to play for the Western Pa. Inter-
collegiate Soccer Conference All-
Star team. Jack Pacalo played for
the first team, and teammates
Tim Schoener and Todd Ham-
mond made the second team.
Scott Russell made honorable
mention.

Women Capture PSAC Title
The lUP women's basketball
team capped its first ever PSAC
championship, while head coach
Jan Kiger was elected Coach of
the Year.
The Indians closed their sea-
son at Pitt-Johnstown in a play-
off appearance but lost 108-55.
With their 17-14 season four play-
ers hit the record books. Senior
guard Patti Connaghan dished
out 166 assists for the season and
499 career assists, good enough
for the number one spot. She
stands fourth in season steals
with 80 and ended with 296 in
her career. Margo Hinton, junior
guard, had 100 steals for the sea-
son and junior guard Leanne San-
tacroce had 59. Hinton tied for
second place in field goals for the
season at 185. claimed the second
notch with 234 career steals, and
moved into ninth position with
15.1 average points. She also
stands third in season scoring
with 454 points and freshman
center Sherri Leysock rebounded
her wav into fourth position at
253.
With a crew of achievers like
this it's no wonder Kiger and as-
sistant coach Joyce Maudie are so
enthusiastic about their team.
"I feel fantastic about it," said
Kiger. "We wanted to let the se-
niors have the best season ever
and that was a motivation."
"It took time to pull together.
The preseason wasn't so good and
we lost games there in the second
half of the season partly because
of injuries (Hinton and Lightcap)
but the contribution of the team
brought it together."
The Indians showed their play-
ing ability by defeating Le.Moyne
68-65 and Kutztown 69-65 but lost
momentum with losses to
Charleston. 55-86. Robert Morris.
61-70. and St. Vincent, 74-88. The
bright spot in their mauling of
Davis and Elkins would have to
sustain them through the ne.xt
three losses. Gannon overtook the
Indians 55-74 despite excellent
play by Jan Lightcap (24 points.
13 rebounds). The Indians lost a
pair of games at home to St.
Francis. 64-76. and Bloomsburg.
61-67. Lightcap had top showings
for lUP in both games with 16
points and nine rebounds against
the Red Flash and 20 points. 12
rebounds against the Huskies.
Leanne Santacroc-e's 15 points
and Leycock's 16 rebounds
helped their team to a 65-41 win
over Millersville. Lightcap at-
tained top honors with 21 points
and 10 rebounds in a 70-03 loss to
Mount St. Mary's. Hinton scored
22 points in a 70-93 loss to Pitt-
Johnstown.
The Indians played out a six-
game string of victories against
Edinboro and California, where
Hinton scored 17 and 22 points
respectively. Connaghan led the
82-61 win over Shippensburg with
21 points. Hinton's 24 points
against Salem backed by Ley-
sock's 15 rebounds left a 81-73
defeat for the Tigerettes. Hinton
led the assault at Clarion with 24
points with Amy Gorda contribut-
ing 13 rebounds.
lUP smashed Slippery Rock
with a 23-point effort by Leanne
Santacroce. The Indians lost to
Lock Haven 64-70. and again to
Edinboro 77-87. At home the Indi-
ans defeated California 77-70
while Connaghan canned 18
points. At Shippensburg. Leysock
led the attack with 19 points, 1!
rebounds.
A three-game setback with
losses to Maryland-Baltimore
County. Clarion and in overtime
to Slippery Rock sent the Indians
home with a 13-13 record. lUP
upped their mark to 17-13 with
wins over Lock Haven and play-
off wins over Lock Haven. 96-81.
Bloomsburg 77-71 and a 68-.50
thrashing of Millersville for the
conference championship.
"Our first goal of the season
was to win," said Maudie. "We
thought back then we had the
players and potential to pull it
off. Everybody felt the enthusi-
asm and the straight-to-heart
talks helped spark us on to the
championship."
With the winning season, the
conference crown and coach of
the year award went to a very
deserving Indians squad.
"The award (coach of the
year) is absolutely zero compared
to the championship." said Kiger.
"Her award is proof we have
the best coach in the confer-
ence." said Maudie.

Away Games Obstacle For Team
Doug Macek
It was another exciting season
for the lUP field hocl<ey team,
Led by coach Kofie Montgomery,
it proved once again that it is not
a team to be tai<en lightly.
The season was played mostly
on the road. The season opener at
St. Bonaventure resulted in a 2-1
lUP victory. Anxious to play
Kutztown with a win under its
belt, the team had a quiet bus
ride home, for they lost 4-0.
The following game at Frost-
burg was also a loss, but the team
sprang back to beat Chatham Col-
lege with a 7-0 win. A tourna-
ment in Salisbury, Md., left lUP
with a 3-4 record. First was the
close loss to Oneonta of New York
with a score of 1-2. The second
game was with Wesley College,
with lUP beating Wesley 3-1. De-
fending national champion Salis-
bury was next, and after a close
game the home team stole a 1-0
victory.
At last it was time for lUP to
play at home. The team hosted
Mansfield in the rain, and in dou-
ble overtime junior Kim Simon
scored the only goal in the game
for lUP. Bloomsburg, who won
the national title, beat lUP 1-4.
Next the girls hosted Millers-
ville and lost 1-0. The three fol-
lowing games against St. Bona-
venture, Carnegie Mellon and
Bethany College were all lUP vic-
tories and the Lady Warriors
were making a strong comeback
in their division. After crushing
Washington & Jefferson 7-0, lUP
was stopped by Shippensburg in a
tight 1-0 loss.
The rest of the season was
spent on the road. They lost to
Wittenburg of Ohio 1-0 in double
overtime, then to Slippery Rock 2-
0. Cortland was another loss at 3-
0 and it brought the team to East
Stroudsburg, where the season
closed with a 0-0 tie in double
overtime.
lUP is a Division II team, the
toughest division in the United
States. Every one of the losses
except one were to teams that
were ranked in the top 20
nationally.
Kim Simon was asked to play
in the All-Conference team, and
Donna Walker was an All-Confer-
ence Honorable Mention. Kim Si-
mon and teammate Candace
Gingrich were chosen as NCAA
All-Regional Honorable Mentions.
lUP had more Academic AU-
Americans than any other college
in the United States. Tracey Bow-
er, Diana Reinhard and Becca
Joyce received this award. Win-
ners must maintain a GPA of 3.5
and start on the varsity team.
Coach Montgomery has high
hopes for next year.
We are losing two players to
graduation and we have a very
strong junior varsity team," she
said.

Men's Season Brings Disappointment
For lUP basketball players and
fans the 1987-88 season proved to
be unexpected, disappointing and
bewildering.
With seven veterans, six fresh-
men and a transfer sophomore
the roundballers finished the sea-
son 9-18. The season began and
ended with less than desirable
outcomes.
The Indians lost at Pitt-Johns-
town 87-74 despite the efforts of
junior forward Mike Matthews
(28 points, 6 rebounds) and soph-
omore forward/center Frank
Doug Macek
Dicken (12 points, 7 rebounds).
In the home opener against
Fairmont State, junior center
Tom Chaney's 16 points followed
on the heels of Matthews' 18
points and junior guard Paul Bur-
nett's 19 points, but the Indians
still suffered a 78-74 setback. The
Indians headed into the third
game against Glenville State.
Shaking off their earlier misfor-
tune, they handed Glenville an
80-65 loss. Chaney scored 16
points and grabbed 7 rebounds,
and Matthews added 12 points
with nine rebounds.
Taking to the road, Beck's
crew lost 86-67 to Duquesne
where Todd Johns achieved a
season-high 19 points. The Indi-
ans claimed wins over St. Vincent
in overtime, 74-63, Dyke, 86-79,
and Point Park, 94-69. With losses
at St. Francis, 71-69, and George
Washington, 73-48, the Indians
brought their record to 5-4.
A 75-70 victory over Pitt-Brad-
ford in the annual Christmas
Tree Tournament was to be their
last before a nine-game losing
streak rocked the team.
Kutztown overrode the Indians
75-70 in the next game of the
tournament. Next lUP was
burned by Philadelphia Textile
72-52 and Gannon 84-71 and
pulled within three points
against Edinboro, 76-73, and five
at California, 70-65.

high field goal record at 14
against Shippensburg where they
had another loss, 69-56. Clarion
dished out a 72-68 loss to the In-
dians, although Chaney had a
great game, gaining 16 rebounds
and 21 points. Matthews pumped
in 10 for 10 at the foul line. Lock
Haven claimed the last game in
the Indians' losing streak 73-56.
lUP snapped that streak in a 73-
66 win over Edinboro.
California defeated lUP 71-64.
Shippensburg was next, beating
the Indians 64-63 as did Robert
Morris 55-51. Three wins over
Clarion, Cheyney and Slippery
Rock found the team working as
a unit and realizing their poten-
tial. The season's end found lUP
with yet another loss 72-58 from
Lock Haven. Head Coach Tom
Beck also announced his resigna-
tion after a 32-year coaching
career.

Rain Dampens Tennis Season
Rain was a four-letter word for
the lUP women's tennis team this
year after it successfully stopped
six matches.
But the team ended the season
with seven wins and four losses
and placed fifth in the Pennsyl-
vania State Athletic Conference
(PSAC) championships.
Head coach Jackie Albenze
said the large number of cancel-
lations hurt the team in the PSAC
since states "rely heavily on con-
ference records both individually
and as a team."
Physically the team was pre-
pared to play, but psychologically
the rain hurt them, according to
Albenze.
"They felt ill prepared, but I
don't agree with them," Albenze
said. "I think sometimes we have
so many matches that they are
tired by the time we reach the
state tournament."
One reason .Albenze felt the
team members were ready was
because of this year's increased
conditioning.
"I could see there was a differ-
ence between our conditioning
and our opponents' at the end of
the season." .Albenze said.
The team started the season
early during an eight-day train-
ing camp that began a week be-
fore classes. Practice lasted five
or six hours daily.
Natalie Musci, who finished
her tennis career second in sin-
gles at states and Lori Ludwig.
who finished fifth, both felt the
best part of the season was the
way everyone pulled together
during the PS.AC matches.
"By the time we got to states,
people wanted to do their best,"
Musci said. "We came together as
a team, rooted for each other and
actually meant it."
The longer training camp and
greater emphasis on team spirit
is what pulled the team together,
according to Ludwig.
For Albenze. the matches
against West Liberty and Slip-
pery Rock were the most
rewarding.
The match with West Liberty
was gratifying because earlier
that morning the team lost to
Charleston, 3-6, because they got
"tight and nervous" Albenze said.
But when faced by West Liberty,
the team bounced back with a 6-2
win.
Joe Wojdk
lUP beat Slippery Rock 8-1 and
Albenze felt the team had "some
of the best matches all season."
.Albenze said with the gradua-
tion of Linda Hanlon, Lori Ludwig
and Natalie Musci. she is losing
her most consistent players.
"The position I'm losing is not
critical, it's just the type of kid,"
Albenze said.
She does feel there is a good
nucleus coming back. .Albenze
says the team will be young next
year. Her two major goals for the
next season are to have a win-
ning record for her No. 1 player
and to finish no lower than third
at states.

Freshmen Basis Of '87 Team
Hopes were riding high on nu-
merous young faces that filled
the 1987 women's volleyball ros-
ter and in early practice sessions
head coach Kim Johnson, in her
second season, felt optimistic
about the team's future.
Johnson, along with first-year
assistant coach .Mark Pavlik be-
gan her first full effort at recruit-
ing at the end of last year and
landed some top talent in fresh-
men Theresa Shellenberger,
Stacy Markel, Karen Knaub, Tina
Jenks, Molly Miles, Lisa Galanto
and Carol Bufalini.
Johnson was happy with the
enthusiasm the freshmen players
e.xhibited but was weary of the
lack of upperclassman
leadership.
"I don't really mind having so
many new players, but we miss
the leadership on the floor,"
Johnson said. "Of course my team
makes freshmen mistakes. We're
inexperienced."
But out of the practices
emerged junior Tina Rauch who
quickly jumped into the leader-
ship role but more out of action
rather than by talk, according to
Johnson.
Along with Rauch stood co-
captain Diana Schwartz and out-
side hitter Terry Deter.
As the '87 season unfolded.
lUP resembled a team with first
year starters alongside players
with intercollegiate experience.
Johnson explained it would take
time before communication
would flow smoothly among the
players.
The Indians showed signs of
that in the Juniata Tournament
in which IL'P emerged with a 2-3
record.
lUP played well in the prelimi-
nary round, defeated Westmin-
ster 15-8, 15-0. The passing game
which Johnson was looking to im-
prove since their disappointing
loss to Robert Morris a week ear-
lier, showed considerable
progress.
"We are going up against most-
ly upperclassmen while we're de-
pending on one or two on the
court," Johnson said.
The middle game proved to be
Il'P's biggest offensive weapon.
Rauch combined with Markel
overwhelmed opponents in some
of Il'P's wins. It will be the com-
bination to watch next fall as
Johnson is once again on the re-
cruiting trail and is returning
with a majority of the starters.
Miscommunication dimmed
HP's hopes of post-season play,
but for a team comprised mostly
of freshmen, a foundation for a
strong team has been made.
"Considering the inexperience
of our team and the newness of
our offense, we are not far away
from being one of the two teams
going to states," Pavlik said. "The
improvement is there for a nice,
solid nucleus for two or three
years.
lUP got some good individual
performances from Rauch and
Schwartz in the PS.AC Western
Division championships in which
they placed fifth.
"You just can't say enough
about them," Pavlik said. "Tina
has been very consistent in the
back row. Another plus was the
play of Tina Jenks. In the match
against Slippery Rock, Tina kept
us in the game. She picked up
where Karen Knaub left off."
An injury to Knaub midway
through the season looked as if it
might handicap HP's middle
game, but players off the bench
filled the vacancy.
The outside hitting of Terry
Deter and Carol Bufalini that
gave IIP some success this past
season will definitely be part of
the Indians' arsenal next fall.

Downhill Year For Team
J
The 1987 men's cross country
season was impressively strong
with lUP taking firsts in four
successive tournaments and fin-
ishing with a record of 76-9. Al-
though they started off on top,
the season went on to end in dis-
appointment as the team failed to
qualify for Nationals. Coach Lou
Sutton characterized the end of
the season as "unfortunate." Af-
ter so many good races "regionals
was the worst meet of the year,"
Sutton said.
The Indians' first meet of the
season took place at Old Domin-
ion. There the team placed fourth
overall hehind three Division 1
teams: The University of North
Carolina defending their title,
William and Mary, and Old Do-
minion. The next four meets were
dominated by ll'P. Despite miser-
able conditions of rain and mud.
the lUP Invitational held at Mack
Park found the Indians' .-^ and B
teams taking first and second
places. This was the first time in
the seventeen-year history of the
race that this had happened. IIP
won 11 of the 20 placed in the
race with John Flaherty taking
first place.
The Indians moved on to the
.Alfred Invitational in New York
and took first in a big way. All
thirteen IIP participants fin-
ished within the top 20. The team
finished til points ahead of run-
ner-up Alfred University.
A high point of the season was
the Notre Dame Invitational. lUP
placed first in the Gold Division
which included 20 Division I. II
and strong Division III teams.
The Indians had never won this
title before. lUP was led by co-
captains John Flaherty and .Mike
Patton who finished i:3th and
14th respectively. Coach Sutton
said the two are "outstanding
runners Iwho] both stood a
chance at .AU-American." Sopho-
more .Mike Rose finished 19th,
freshman Eric Shafer took 32nd
place and senior Dave Williams
placed 40th, rounding out iUP's
top finishers.
The next win at West Liberty
State College saw Mike Patton
winning over John Flaherty with
a time of 26:59 to 27:01. The
healthy competition between
these two excellent runners not
only caused them to run better
races but also fueled consistently
good times from the rest of the
team.
After losing only to Edinboro
in East Stroudsburg the Indians
were still in a very good position
for the regional meet. Unfortu-
nately the meet at Bryant College
in Rhode Island spelled defeat for
the men's team. The Indians
placed fifth and were not chosen
as a wild-card to attend Nation-
als. John Flaherty once again led
the team with a 1.5th place finish
followed by .Mike Patton in 19th
place. As senior Paul Prox point-
ed out, the loss at regionals
"should not cause the graduating
seniors to feel they had a poor
season. They graduate leaving
behind a great deal of good lead-
ership, solid performances and
goals for upcoming teams to shoot
for in the future."
.As coach Lou Sutton stepped
down from his position and left
the team in the hands of assis-
tant coach Ed Fry. he left behind
20 years of experience and a win-
ning average of 88.2% He will still
be working with the team and
like everyone else, he hopes that
next year will see some good
leadership emerge and a strong
team bound for nationals created.

Men's Cross Country 117
Great Season Ends On Down Note
lUP's women's cross country
team faced many difficult meets
this year and came out on top
but, like the men's team, did not
make it to Nationals. Weezie Ben-
zoni, lUP's top runner, was invit-
ed to Nationals individually and
placed third, proudly represent-
ing herself and lUP.
Weezie was happy with her
performance because it gave her
a chance to show her pride in lUP
and especially coach Ed Fry, who
she describes as hei' "inspira-
tion." A major- cause attributed to
the team's failure to make na-
tionals was that although they
started the season with a great
attitude, they seemed to lose con-
fidence toward the end and as
Weezie put it, "Once you start
doubting yourself, it can't
happen."
The first meet of the season at
the California (Pa.) Invitational
was also one of the hardest. The
hilly course, made more difficult
because of mud, consisted of a
lar-ge number- of turns within the
first mile. Despite these adver'se
conditions lUP's A and B teams
took first and second places.
Weezie Benzoni was the indi-
vidual winner- followed by Patty
Kinch (2nd), Sara Pickering
(I3rd), Lisa Bonaccorsi (4th) and
Lisa Scarfone (7th).
The ll'P Invitational was pre-
dicted to be HP's race. The Lady
Indians took first with a score of
135 points, 25 ahead of Ithaca who
Coach Fry had noted as a serious
challenge. The individual win-
ners were Kathy Stec from Ship-
pensburg with a time of 19:04:6
over Weezie's second-place finish
of 19:14. The race was exciting
and well-run because of the ef-
forts of all the top runners who
had to contend with rain and
muddy conditions.
At the Dickinson Invitational
the Indians were up against some
tough competition from Navy
who captured first place with 23
points, 56 points ahead of lUP.
At the Paul Short .Memorial
lUP placed 6th overall but was
the No. 2 Division II finisher be-
hind the University of Maryland.
They finished impr-essively be-
hind such Division 1 teams as Vil-
lanova, Yale, Penn State and
Georgetown. Out of 194 runners
lUP placed five in the top 100
with Benzoni finishing 13th with
a time of 17:28.
With their confidence spurred,
lUP took first above host team
Kent State at the Kent State Clas-
sic. The women placed five in the
top 10 finishers with Benzoni
(1st), Pickering (3rd), Kinch
(4th) and Wheeler (5th) with the
same times of 19:04 and Bonac-
corsi (10th).
The women were ready for the
PSAC State Meet where they cap-
tured their fifth straight confer-
ence championship with Benzoni
claiming the individual women's
title with a time of 18:22:7. Unfor-
tunately this victor-y did not car-
ry over when the Lady Indians
traveled to Rhode Island for the
Division II Regional Meet, .\fter
the team failed to place, only
Benzoni was invited to attend the
National .Meet.

Parents Encourage Their Athletes
Many colleges athletes lead ac-
tive and happy lives, but if it
were not for their parents' sup-
port and love through the years
they would not be where they are
today.
Some students play basketball
and some football; others are in-
volved in swimming or field
sports. No matter what the sport
may be, the students all have one
thing in common— concerned
parents.
Just like there is a variety of
activities, there are various ways
in which parents encourage their
favorite athlete. The most com-
mon and obvious, of course, is
simply by coming to as many
games as possible, if not all. Such
is the case with Patti Connagh-
an's parents, Bill and Regina,
who said, "We've seen quite a
few of her basketball games this
year. We basically just tell her to
do her best, and she usually
does."
However, some families can
also help out financially by send-
ing the athelte to a training
camp. Mr. and .Mrs. Vanderau
said, "We always encouraged
Pam in whatever sport she pur-
sued, and we went to many
games." They added, "We've
helped send her to field hockey
camp two summers in a row
now."
Other parents came to games
not only to see their children
play, but because of specific in-
terests either in the entire team
or the sport itself.
"His father' and I go to support
the whole team," .Mar-y .Macek
said in regar'ds to her son Doug,
"but, of course, we ar'c always
pr'oud of him when he does well."
She added, "Whenever he swam,
we were there. We really don't
support him financially, but mon-
ey doesn't solve ever-ything."
Laura and Leann Santacroce's
mother Jane commented, "1 try to
make all the basketball games
whenever it's possible because 1
love to watch them play. 1 not
only go to provide them moral
support, but simply because 1
have always enjoyed the sport."
In addition, some families are
so supportive that they show up
when other "important" individ-
uals do not. Mr-s. Gwen Matthews
said that her family has gone to
several of Mike's basketball
games, including the Pitt game
last year, but she remembers one
game that had to be cancelled.
"The one time 1 gathered the
entire family so we could watch
Mike play, the game was can-
celled because the referees did
not show up," she said.
However, it does not matter
how often the parents come to
support their children, but it is
important that a genuine concern
exists. This supplies the athlete
with a stable foundation and
makes an otherwise average ath-
lete successful because he knows
someone cares and supports him.

and has come a long way since
graduating from Bloomfieid High
School.
She was very athletic in high
school coach Ed Fry of IIP said,
but she never ran cross country
until she came to college. She has
been in cross country and track
all four years of her college ca-
reer and has acquired many
awards.
Weezie's most recent accom-
plishment in women's cross coun-
try was at the NCAA Division II
National Championships at
Southern University of Indiana in
Evansville where she recei\ed
third place oveiall with a time of
17.29. She finished behind Celia
.Mosquedo of California State Los
Angeles who is originally from
.Mexico and Bente .Mo of Seattle
Pacific from Norway, This made
Weezie the top native I'nitcd
States runner.
She was able to go to nationals
by earning second place in Rhode
Island at the Northeast Kegi(jnal
tournament. She has participated
in nationals in cross country
since her freshman year, but her
best finish until recently was
17th place in 1986.
"I was really pleased with this
this year. It's kind of like a dream
come true. It's the way you
dream to end your senior year,
and it came true," said Weezie.
"She has become stronger both
physically and mentally, which is
extremely important for long dis-
tance running," Coach Fry said.
This helps the runner to endure
the length of the race and the
side-by-side competition, he said.
"She's a hard worker," Fry
added. "I've never seen anyone
work as hard as Weezie."
Weezie was also the individual
winner this year at the PSAC
Championship Meet when IL'P
won the team title for the fifth
straight year.
She is not just an athlete, how-
ever. During the Fall 1987 semes-
ter, Weezie was awarded the Sal-
ly B. Johnson Scholarship award.
This is given every year to an
outstanding senior athlete partic-
ipating in any of the nine wom-
en's sports sponsored on campus.
She has maintained a Dean's List
average as a pre-medical major.
Recently Weezie was honored
with her fourth All-American ti-
tle in cross country at a dinner
honoring all All-Americans. She
has gained this title every year
she has run.

New Coach Brings Life To Team
Joy htx'b
The lUP men's swim team
was given a much-needed shot
in the arm in 1987 when Frances
Nee, previously the swim coach
at Elizabeth-Forward High in
Pittsburgh, was named head
coach for both squads, combined
them as one unit for the first
time.
Jan Murtha remained assis-
tant coach, and John Wingfield
stayed as head diving coach.
After training since Septem-
ber, the squad traveled to
Bloomsburg Nov. 14 to take part
in their annual relay meet. lUP
got their first victory of the year
as the Indians touched out Slip-
pery Rock for the first-place
trophy.
"It was a good way to begin the
season," said Nee.
The squad next traveled to
Westminster on Dec. 8. The
strong Indian team overpowered
the Titans, winning 135-82. Ju-
niors Brian Eckenrode, Bob Ogor-
euc, Pete LeRoy, Dan Williams
and senior Cris Lang all snagged
individual wins for lUP. Three
days later the Indians took on
Clarion, the perennial state
champs. The result was a close
loss, 101-109, with AU-American
senior co-captain Scott Nagel tak-
ing first place in the 400-yard in-
dividual medley.
The team then headed to Boca
Raton, Fla., and the famed Mis-
sion Bay Aquatic Training Center
for their winter conditioning trip.
The squad practiced in outdoor
pools every day for four hours
with weight training also includ-
ed for 11 straight days.
According to Nee, "Our prima-
ry reason for going down there
was to swim and, believe me,
they swam hard."
The tired Indians returned
Jan. 11 only to board another bus
Jan. 16 for a meet with Blooms-
burg. The men dominated the
young Bloomsburg team, captur-
ing first place in every event.
Winners included Eckenrode,
Ogoreuc, Williams, Lang, Nagel,
senior Ken Simpson and senior
co-captain Doug Macek.
On Jan. 23 the team suffered
what would turn out to be its last
loss for the year against the na-
tionally-ranked Red Raiders of
Shippensburg by a 96-107 margin.
Their next meet against Edinboro
would turn out to be the most
exciting of the season.
Down by one point going into
the 4 X 100-yard freestyle relay,
lUP turned to the foursome of
freshman Todd Jones, Eckenrode,
Macek and Nagel. Nagel, who had
already taken firsts in the 200-
yard freestyle and backstroke
events, turned out to be the hero
when he came from behind to
touch out the last Edinboro swim-
mer by only three-tenths of a sec-
ond. Other winners included Eck-
enrode in the 500- and 1000-yard
freestyle events, Williams on the
one and three meter diving
boards and Simpson in the 200-
yard breaststroke.
After recording two more vic-
tories over Fairmont and Slippery
Rock, the team headed to Clarion
on Feb. 16 for the state champi-
onship meet. Here the team fin-
ished in fourth place behind Clar-
ion, Shippensburg and Edinboro.
Nagel once again reigned as state
champion in the 400-yard individ-
ual medley, but just missed quali-
fying for the national champion-
ships. Ken Simpson qualified.
setting an lUP record in the 100-
yard breaststroke and finishing
second. Diver Dan Williams also
became eligible for the trip to
Buffalo, N.Y., when he qualified
on the three meter board. Other
Indians recording excellent fin-
ishes at the state meet included
freshman Jack Schmitt in the
100- and 200- yard breaststrokes,
LeRoy in the 200-yard backstroke
and Eckenrode's record-setting
finishes in the 500- and 1650-yard
freestyle events.
The national meet resulted in
three more lUP records as Simp-
son broke his own in taking 19th
in the 100-yard breaststroke and
14th in the 200-yard version, nar-
rowly missing Ail-American sta-
tus in the latter. Williams added
two more excellent performances
on both boards for a pair of 19th
place finishes.
Coach Nee was very pleased
with the results of her first sea-
son with the Indians and looks
for bigger and better things in
the years to come.

Record-Breaking Season For Women
What a year it was! Under the
direction of first-year head coach
Frances Nee, assistant Jan Mur-
tha and diving coach John Wing-
field the women's team set 15
lUP records on their way to a
successful 7-3 season.
"It was a great year," Nee said.
Though both teams had to
overcome the switch from two
separate coaches and two pools to
one coach, one pool and one team,
it was the women's squad that
had it the hardest. The swimmers
were uprooted from their old
home in Zinl< Hall to a new locker
room that had been built for
them just off the deck of the Me-
morial Field House Natatorium.
Suddenly a pool which once held
20 men at a time for practice now
held twice that, all of which
made for six crowded lanes and
long practices. It also made many
of the men mindful of their egos.
"There were no such thing as
slacking off during sets any-
more," said junior Brian Ecken-
rode, "or one of the girls was go-
ing to swim right over you."
Coach Nee said, "Combining
the two teams was the smartest
thing (Athletic Director) Frank
Cignetti ever did for the swim-
ming program here at lUP."
The women began their season
with a win over Lock Haven. It
was here that Janice Clarkson, a
sophomore transfer from West
Virginia University, began her
string of record-setting perfor-
mances, breaking the 200- and
500-yard freestyle records. The
women won every event in the
meet. Other winners included na-
tional-qualifier Kris Hotchkiss,
Lisa Schmitt, Julie DeVore, Lisa
Meyer, captain Suzie Glass, Kim
Stennet, Jenny Meyers and Paula
Lamendola.
The Lady Marauders from Mil-
lersville came to lUP and once
again Clarkson set another re-
cord, this time in the 1000-yard
freestyle event. Diver Kris Hotch-
kiss also set a record on the one-
meter board for six dives.
After a convincing win over
Duquesne, the women left for
their fourth dual meet of the sea-
son at Frostburg, Md. In 1986 the
Indians were dealt a one-point
loss by that team. This year
though, it was a different story
as lUP captured every event in a
160-103 victory.
After returning from a winter
training trip in Boca Katon, Fla.,
with the men's team, the women
took on the Huskies of Blooms-
burg. The squad suffered their
first loss of the year, but not be-
fore they had broken three more
lUP records. Captain Suzie Glass
grabbed one in the 100-yard back-
stroke. Clarkson earned one in
the 1650-yard freestyle. Donna
Visnofsky, Paula Lamendola and
Lisa Meyer teamed up with Glass
to take one in the 400-yard med-
ley relay. Kris Hotchkiss became
the first diver in the history of
the women's program to qualify
for the national championships.
After losing a close one to
Shippensburg, the team got back
on the winning track with a vic-
tory over Edinboro. Lisa Meyer
stole the limelight as she set a
record in the 100-yard freestyle
relay.
After recording easy wins over
Washington and Jefferson and
Fairmont State the team suffered
one more loss at the hands of the
tough Slippery Rock team. The
Indians had no time to worry
about the loss because the state
championships were just 10 days
away.
At the state meet at Clarion
the team captured a solid fourth
place in the PSAC. The entire
team swam well, especially fresh-
man Jenny Meyers who placed in
the 100- and 200-yard back-
strokes, 400-yard individual med-
ley and 400-yard freestyle relay
with Meyer, Visnofsky and Clark-
son. Kris Hotchkiss placed fourth
on the three-meter board and
1 2th on the one-meter board.
At the national championships
Hotchkiss was the women's lone
representative. She did not disap-
point anyone as she took 20th
and 22nd in the nation, respec-
tively, on the three- and one-me-
ter diving boards.
According to coach Nee, the
team lived up to all of her expec-
tations and she anxiously awaits
the 1988-89 season to begin the
climb up the state and national
rankings.

Gymnasts Reunite The Record Books
The I UP gymnastics team had
an excellent season in 1987-88.
They achieved a better record
and went farther in competition
than any Indian gymnastics team
preceding them.
At the close of their last meet,
the Division I Regionals in Penn
State's Recreation Hall, their re-
cord stood at 32-12. In the course
of the season the team rewrote
the entire record book, and many
individuals set highei' personal
bests.
The Indians began the season
higher than they ever had. Their
final score in the intrasquad
meet was 168.35, signifying to
coaches Dan Kendig and Gary
Stam that this was a high-quality
team they were dealing with—
one which, if coached well, would
go very far.
Once again the gymnasts'
schedule included many very
tough Division I competitiors.
However, HP met the challenges
and improved meet by meet, an
annual goal set forth by head
coach Kendig.
They began regular-season ac-
tion in January with an away
meet against host West Virginia
University, Penn State and the
University of Maryland. They
placed fourth in the meet, but
they stayed with the Division I
competition and broke 170.00
with 172.70.
Although they began the sea-
son scoring in the low 170's, by
the end of the season their scor-
ing record was placed at a lofty
181.70, achieved when they won
at Division 11 Nationals.
This year's team was com-
prised of four seniors, three ju-
niors, three sophomores and six
freshmen.
Their 1986 vaulting score of
46.05 was broken in the final dual
meet of the regular season
against Auburn. The record now
stands at 46.40.
Rose Johnson, a sophomore,
once again set the school's indi-
vidual vaulting record of 9.60,
which she earned foi- her perfor-
mance at home against James
Madison University and Kent
State. This was also the first time
lUP defeated KSU.
The uneven bars peaked late
for the team this year, despite a
fair showing in the pie- and early
season. Both team and individual
scoring records on bars were the
last to go down this year. At the
Division II Nationals the bar
team scored a 46.00 when they
went six-for-six on the event.
Contributing to this record was
junior Dina Carrieri with the in-
dividual scoring record of 9.45.

lUP's beam team was its hid-
den strength during the season-
sometimes it was more hidden
than others. These six girls first
broke the 1986 record of 44.00 at
home against Geoige Washington
University when they scored
44.80. By the season's end the
scoring record in beam was ele-
vated to 45.50, which they earned
at Division I Regionals.
Junior Michelle Goodwin
owned the beam's individual
scoring record of 9.06, earned at
the George Washington
Invitational.
Floor's individual scoring re-
cord went to Rose Johnson who
had 9.60 in the Division II Region-
al Meet held at lUP. The team
scoring record now stands at
45.50, also earned at regionals.
Michelle Goodwin also holds
the all-around scoring record of
37.40, which she earned at the
George Washington Invitational.
The Indians gymnasts ended
the season April 19, 1988, with
a third-place finish at Divi-
sion 1 Regionals, a meet which
featured six other Division 1
teams. lUP was only bettered by
host Penn State and Ohio State.
The Indian gymnasts defeated
Pitt, who beat lUP three times
during the course of the regular
season, and New Hampshire, who
beat lUP once in 1988.
At the 1988 AU-American din-
ner held April 12, lUP honored 12
gymnasts, more than any other
lUP gymnastics team of the past.
The entire 1987-88 lUP team at-
tained Ail-American status be-
cause of the National Champion-
ship they won April 1, 1988, at
Springfield College in
Massachusestts.

strong Season For Rifle Team
The lUP Rifle Team finished
their season 9-2 in 1987-88.
The team began the season in
October on a down note with a
two-point loss to Canisius, and
they won their next match
against Washington and Jeffer-
son by forfeit.
In their next match, lUP faced
Canisius and Duquesne. Jon Pri-
bicko and John Milavec led the
lUP shooters to the win, both
shooting 548 points. IL'P scored
2077 total, narrowly defeating
Canisius (2076) and Duquesne
(2008).
Next IL'P defeated Duquesne
and St. Francis with a score of
2119 against their scores of 2025
and 1817, respectively.

"It was a good season except
for the losses," said head coach
Tom Campisano. John Milavec
agreed, saying "It wasn't what it
should have been. It could have
been better."
The team will be losing one

Three Cheers For lUP!
"Twd bits, four bits, six bits, a
(idllaf ..." may sound lii<e a
cheei- from the 19o()s but, in an
effort to encourage crowd partici-
pation and school spirit, those
were the words to a cheer per-
formed by the lUP cheerleaders
during the 1987-88 season.
"We're trying to gear cheers
and chants to the fans. We've had
a lot of support, especially at the
state (football) game and the
bonfire, which was the first one
held in a very long time," said
captain .Michelle McKee, a senior
marketing major.
The lUP squad began its first
semester as a recognized univei-
sity sport by attending a five-day
instructional camp on .Aug. 17 at
Rutgers, N.J. For the first time
all 14 members of the squad were
able to attend the camp where
they learned material to encour-
age crowd support. The camp,
sponsored by Universal Cheer-
leaders Association, also gave
lUP the opportunity to compete
against approximately 15 Divi-
sion II schools. lUP brought home
three trophies: most-improved
squad, first place in cheers and
second place in fight song.
During the football season the
squad members began practicing
for a videotape to be submitted
for a national competition. lUP
won fifth place out of 40 squads
which marked their best showing
since the competition began.
"1 think this year as a squad
we worked together well . . . it's
definitely the best squad talent-
wise and in team-work and team
effort," McKee said.
Listed by partners, the fall
squad members were: Tom Ad-
ams and .Molly George, Greg Hoff-
man and Tammy Bean, Rich
Manko and Jean Barno, Karl
McCall and Suzanne Gray, Jody
Owen and .Michelle McKee (cap-
tain), Terry Schrock (captain)
and Chrissy Zack, and Jody Wire-
man and Mary Casey. The lUP
mascots were .Mike Weisberg and
Christina Guthrie.

Beck Closes Out 16- Year Career
One can usually tell the end of
basketball practice by the blow-
ing of a whistle, and after 16
years at I LP Tom Beck ended his
last practice of his coaching
career.
Tom Beck, who will still retain
his teaching career at lUP, re-
signed at the end of the 1987-88
season and left behind him '42
years of coaching experience.
"Coaching has been a big, big
pait of my life for the past 82
years," said Beck, "so it is with
very mixed feelings I am making
this move.
"I know that come next Octo-
ber 15 (starting date for college
practices) I will miss coaching.
But by the same token, there is
no doubt in my mind that this is
the right nio\e."
Beck started his careei- at lUP
in 1972 and woiked with Carl Da-
vis as an assistant. After 11 years
and compiling a lGO-111 mark
highlighted by seven post-sea.son
playoff appearances, Beck was
named interim head coach after
Davis' resignation in July 1983.
That season was billed as "Tom
Beck's Yeai."
In his first year, he led the
Indians to a 12-15 record, a tre-
mendous accomplishment consid-
ering that the Indians did not
have any returning starters and
Beck was without a full-time as-
sistant coach.
However, 1984-85 was his best

year as he commanded the Indi-
ans to a 17-10 record, five of the
losses to Division I foes. That
year he was given the head
coaching job and a full-time as-
sistant and defensive specialist,
Tony Bernardi.
"It's been said many times that
a program and a head coach are
only as good as their assistants.
The success of the program has
been due in a large part to Tony
Bernardi. He is both an outstand-
ing, quality person and an excel-
lent coach," Beck said.
After five years, they compiled
a 66-70 mark, guiding the Indians
to the playoffs each time in his
first four years. Beck has had
many assistants and coaches in
his years and has seen many good
players.
After he graduated from Slip-
pery Rock in 1954, he then earned
his master's at Duquesne Univer-
sity in 1962. He began his coach-
ing career at the junior high level
in Hempfield .school district near
his hometown of Youngwood.
From there he went to Hurst
High School in nearby .Mount
Pleasant as head coach, and be-
came head coach as he served as
coach of its first two teams be-
fore moving on to Northeast High
in Maryland, In his three years at
the helm, Northeast advanced to
the state playoffs each time.
From there he went to Clarion
where he was an assistant for six
years before coming to lUP. Dur-
ing his 16 years at lUP, Beck com-
piled a 224-180 record.
.According to Coach Beck, wins
and losses are not the only things
important to coaching, at least
not to him.
"I think the greatest thrill I
get from coaching," said Beck, "is
working with a kid in practice
and see him do something in the
game and knowing that you
helped him do that. It's great.
"Also, seeing a kid graduate
from college and knowing that
you had a part in that is wonder-
ful. You don't measure that in
dollars and cents."
"Tom Beck has given 16 years
of loyal and dedicated service to
lUP basketball. He has always
represented the university in a
positive manner," said Frank Cig-
netti, director of intercollegiate
athletics.

Surrounded hv symbols of nation-
al chaiiipionslups, Siition seems
content with his decision to step
down as head coach but to re-
main teaching.
Sutton, who stepped down
from the head coaching Job of the
track and field team in U)S(), said
he would miss the everyday con-
tact with the team.
Among the many trips Sutton
has made with the men's cross
country team was the U)87 excur-
sion to i.os .-Xngeles for the na-

tional championships. .Although
lUP fell short of capturing the
title, Sutton said the trips in
themselves were the real
benefits.
"They've all been special
trips," Sutton said.
Photographs of races from
around the I'nited States and tro-
phies of track and field champi-
onships serve as reminders of a
twenty-year tenure as mentor of
the iUP teams.
Behind each picture lies a frac-
tion of Sutton's success story and
his drive to settle for nothing less
than a top-quality program.
Ironically, Sutton was not
hired for his coaching back-
ground in 19()7. Instead, he came
here as an intramural specialist.
But when the position of track
coach needed to be filled, the ath-
letic director asked Sutton to take
over.
Though hesitant at first, he
eventually accepted the job and
has since compiled a winning per-
centage and a 1(19-1(1-1 dual
record.
The Indians under Sutton nev-
er bordered on a losing season in
men's cross country oi' track. His
1987 team managed a 7(i-9 record
against many Divison II entrants.
Under his guidance, IUP ad-
vanced to 12 straight Division II
national meets from 197o to i9S(i,
finishing as high as third in 1977
and fourth in 1982.
Above left: Coach
Sutton. Left: Tim
Ebbert ran during
Sutton's la.M
season.
Sutton's goals grew after each
season.
"When I first started out, I had
different expectations," he said.
"I thought, if only 1 could get
someone to nationals. Then in the
NAI.A, I had three people in track
qualify.
"They didn't place. So the next
year I thought, if only I could get
someone to place."
lUP's Dim Slusser fulfilled that
wish by placing sixth in the
NAIA marathon in 1972 and '73.
"I was proud for the school, for
him and the coaches," Sutton
said.
It was undei' Sutton that sev-
en-time All-.American Jim Wood-
ing demonstrated his athletic
prowess and made his trip to the
1984 Summer Olympics. "Watch-
ing him compete was some kind
of experience that many coaches
at this level don't get to experi-
ence," said Sutton.
One achievement eluded Sut-
ton, who was twice named North-
eastern United States Coach of
the Year, and that was winning a
national championship in cross
country. Third place was as close
as he got.
For his outstanding conduct in
the 1987 Nationals, Sutton was
extended a special commendation
by the NCAA. He served as presi-
dent of the NCAA National Cross
Country Coaches Associatiim in
1980-81 and earned it a Distin-
guished Service .-Xward in 1982.
"Twenty years is probably
enough for anybody," Sutton said
of his 2(l-hour work weeks. ".As
you get older, you get a different
perspectice with what you want
to do."

Baseball Team Division Champs
With a record of 28 wins and 9
losses, the Indians had not only
one of the hest team recoids in
years but also the title of West-
ern Division Champions for the
first time since 1980.
The team secured this title by
beating constant opponent Slip-
pery Rock at Pullman Park in
Butler, Pa., on May 6. Here they
also improved their chances of
winning at PSACs on May 13
through 15.
Coach Jeriy Hand had set foi-
the team the goal of 3U wins, and
although they just fell short of
this, they came through on the
challenge to reach PS.-XC's, this
year in first place as opposed to
their second place standing of the
last two years.
"We like to be realistic," said
Coach Hand. "We (lUP) haven't
won States in eight yeai's so oui'
goal is always to win PSACs so
we can move on to the National
Championships."
These realistic goals have
helped the team to not only shoot
for a goal but also to pull togeth-
er as a group.
Pitcher Mike Sobota summed
up the season as the best he has
had personally and that the team
has had as a whole.
"This is the best team in a lot
of years. From hitters to pitchers,
the whole team has a great atti-
tude," he said.
The 1988 season saw a very
strong and harmonious team
ready to attain the coach's goals.
Coach Hand indicated "all the se-
niors played important roles" this
season. Mike Sobota and Rob Be-
dillion shared a strike out record
of 52 apiece by April 21. Gino
Startari did "an outstanding Job
defensively but also offensively
by having a great batting record.
Right fielder Greg Greczek, the
clean-up hitter, had a very good
year," Hand continued.
Although these and other se-
niors like Mike Meyer and Bob
Covatch will be leaving, the team
has plenty of potential for next

dock was a leader at scoring runs
and stealing bases and played
consistently at second base. Bill
Laubach, centerfielder who was
all-conference last year, aver-
aged the most hits and RBl's, the
best overall batting average and
also the most doubles, triples and
total bases. Scott Rhodes and
Marvin Kelley held impressive
batting records while aggressive-
ly playing their positions. Players
like these who have at least two
more active years with the team
provide leadership for another
great year.
With these returning players,
next season is looking very good.
"The program is one with stabil-
ity," noted Coach Hand. Even
though there are good players
graduating there are capable
team members to take their
place. The recruiting has secured
new pitchers and catchers to help
replace the three starting pitch-
ers who will be leaving. With
some good luck, hard work and
less rain, next year looks to be as
good or maybe even better than
this outstanding year.

Season Ends With A Bang
Finishing with a 16-16 record
was not in head softball coach
Kim Johnson's plans for her sec-
ond year.
"I thought we would have done
much better than we did." John-
son said. "We had seven starters
that returned this year."
Losing only three letterwin-
ners from the previous year. ILT
appeared to be in good shape for
the start of the season.
This year's team had nine let-
terwinners returning, including
Beth Blaisdell. Miss! Fucci. Sue
Fulton and .\ngie Kephart.
The ILT women's softball team
began their season winning their
first game against Suny-Bing-
hamton 6-0. but then lost three
consecutive doubleheaders to
Shippensburg, Allegheny and
Bloomsburg.
During their next eight games,
they managed to win only three
of them.
"We had a rough start at the
beginning of the season, but I
think we came out of it all right."
Johnson said.
The team managed to win 1 1 of
their final 14 games, including
their last six in a row with senior
Beth Blaisdell leading the way
with an 11-3 record during the
streak.
Blaisdell pitched in 28 out of 32
games, accumulating a 16-10 re-
cord and leading the pitching
staff with a 1.39 earned run
average.
Other top contributors were
Fucci. who batted .3ilG during the
season: Fulton, who played in all
the regular season games and
batted .314; and Kephart, who
batted .289.
Johnson was also quick to note
that two freshmen were an im-
portant factor for the team this
year.
"We were very pleased with
the progress of our two freshmen.
Debbie Chuss and Tina Morrow."
Johnson said.
Chuss, a pitcher and designat-
ed hitter, led the team in hitting
with a .358 average.
Morrow, the team's catcher,
led the team in outs made with 91
and batted .300.
The women's softball team
fared very well in the PS.\C play-
offs, finishing third overall.
"I was very happy to see the
team play the latter half of the
season the way I know they
could," Johnson said. "Finishing
third in the PS.AC Playoffs is
great considering the way our
season started."
For next year, losing Blaisdell
and Fulton might have its toll on
the team. On the other hand,
good recruits and consistent per-
formances from the players
might be enough to fill the holes
that have been left.

Successful Season For Track Team
The lUP men's track team had
anothei' outstanding yeai' undei'
the tutelage of first-year head
coach Ed Fry.
Four athletes qualified for the
NCAA Division II Meet in San An-
gelo, Texas, led by Eugene Delle-
monache in the shot put and dis-
cus. Bob Babiak in the decathlon
and Biyon Whipkey and Jeff
Neral in the javelin were the oth-
er athletes to qualify for
nationals.
The team traveled as far away
as North Caiolina to compete this
season, with many outstanding
performances occurring all year.
Weather was the big problem for
the team, though. At each meet
the team was faced with adverse
conditions, whether it be wind,
cold temperatures or rain. Each
time, however, the team had an
impressive performance in some
events.
At North Carolina, Eugene Del-
lemonache and Jeff Neral quali-
fied foi- nationals foi- the second
consecutive year. Later in the
year, a recoid five athletes trav-
elled to the prestigious Penn Re-
lays, including high jumper Kay
Sharick, steeple chasei- Chris
Flynn and Babiak who finished
third and qualified for nationals.
Aftei' the North Carolina meet,
the team travelled to Towson
State in Maryland. Howard Miller
and Paul Prox led the team with
state qualifying performances in
the 10,000 and 5,000-meter runs.
The UP Open, held Easter \Ve-
keend, was the next meet. The
weather, for the first time, was
excellent. lUP's mile relay team
remained undefeated and the
field team, or "beefheads," con-
tinued to dominate the
opposition.
At The Shippensburg Invite
the team once again did well, led
by Er-ic Vassal in the long jump
(school record) and Kevin Patter-
son in the 400.
The weather was poor but at
the California Invitational, fr'esh-
man Eric Shafer and another
handful of athletes qualified for
the state meet.
At WVT, Ron Kustaborder' was
the last lUP athlete to qualify for
states in the 10,000 meters. At
that point the team got a week
off before a chance at the state
championships to be held at lUP.
At home, the Indians wei'e a
close second to Edinboro after' the
first day's events, but ended up
finishing third behind the Fight-
ing Scots and Shippensburg. At
states, a fourth and final athlete
qualified for nationals— Bryon
Whipkey in the javelin.
The season was a success for
the team, climaxed by the PSAC
meet at home in May. Fry and
assistant coaches Jim Wooding
and Bob Raemore had to be
pleased with the '88 season, and
look ahead to better things in
1989.

PSACs Cap Great Season
Joy Korih
The woman's track and field
team had a most impressive sea-
son and in fact dominated PSACs
with a score of 122 over Slippery
Rock's second place score of 9(),
Three women, Weezle Benzoni,
Kim Schneider, and Mary Repio-
gle, all pel-formed outstandingly
and assured themselves places at
Nationals. Benzoni took first with
very good times in both the 3,000
and o,0l)0 meters. Kim Schneidei'
grabbed the meet record and
qualified for Nationals in the tri-
ple jump and Maiy Replogle fin-
ished first with a javelin throw of
152':il/2".
On every sports team there are
members who stand out as being
particularly good, but the wom-
an's track and field team con-
tained such depth that it is hard
to name the excellers without
forming a rather long list. Four
time cross country .Ml-.^merican
Weezie Benzoni not only qualified
for Nationals earlv in March but
was named the Greatei' Pitts-
burgh College Athlete of the
Year.
The Penn Relays, held at the
University of Pennsylvania's
Franklin Field in Philadelphia,
saw Sara Pickering qualify for
Nationals by an impressive 47
seconds when she ran a :i5:4S in
the 10,000-meters. Rett Galbraith
and Missy Larme helped to make
up both the 400 meter and 880
meter relays at the Towson State
Invitational where both relays
came in second place. Also at
Towson State, Valerie Hricsina
took first in the javelin as did
Kim Schneider in the triple jump
and the two mile relay team of
Lisa Scarfone. Charity Weis-
singer, Patty Kinch, and Weezie
Benzoni.
At the lUP Open, Patty Kinch
took second in both the 1,500 and
800 meters behind Benzoni. Chris
Wheeler won the 3,000 with a
time of 10:37 and Rett Galbraith
placed first in the 400 hurdles
followed closely by teammate Su-
zanne Schr-eppel with a time of
1:05.8 (an eight one-hundredths
of a second difference).
At States, Kim Schneider took
second in the 100 hurdles, with
Rett Galbraith placing second.
Suzanne Schreppel took third in
the 400 intermediate hurdles. In
the 4x100 the Indians placed
fourth but broke the school i-e-
cord with a 49:47 in trials. The
team consisted of Kim Schneider,
Missy Larme, Suzanne Schrepple
and Rett Galbraith. Sophomore
Charity Weissinger took first in
the 400 meter and third in the
800.
All the dedication and hard
work during the season apparent-
ly paid off at the PSAC meet.

ivnowin^ he had quite a large
task on his hands.
Inexperience.
With only one letterman re-
turning;, Smith Blackwood, White
faced the task of woikinj^ with
two freshmen and four
sophomores.
"Overall, I was pretty pleased
with our season," Blackwood
said. "We had a young team, but
we came out of it in pretty good
shape."
The team finished among the
top five teams at the West Liber-
ty Stale of West \irginia Invita-
tional. Freshman Michael Heese
led the way shooting a 162 in the
two-day tournament.
ILP did not fare well in their
next two tournaments.
Finishing 19th out of 27 teams
at the Navy Invitational and 11th
out of 12 at the Slippery Rock
Invitational, Coach White had his
work cut out for him.
The Wooster Invitational
showed a crack of light for the
golf team as they finished 8th
overall out of 20 teams that
competed.
At the Penn State Invitational,
the team finished UJth overall,
shooting a BOO during the two-day
tournament.
Blackwood and Anderson led
the way, each shooting a 16:).
April 21) marked the 2'ith year
of the ILP Invitational held at
the Indiana Country Club. The
team finished 8th overall, which
was the lowest in the history of
the invitational.
Sophomore Uob Kitchey was
the top I LP performer, finishing
tied for 8th with a total of 77.
The team took third overall in
the PSAC Championship in what
was pel haps the best showing of
the sea.son.
"We lacked leadership having
only one senior on the team,"
Reese said. "With each year here
we will improve."

Best Year Ever For lUP Men's Tennis
The 1988 men's tennis season
started off on just the right foot
In March, as the seven-member
varsity team began the year on
the courts without a great turn-
over of players.
With no lettermen lost from
the 1987 season, the team kicked
off the '88 year with seven re-
turning racketmen. Seniors Joe
Fadden, Brad Hanes, and Tim
Nuss, along with junior Jim
Welker and sophomores Garrison
Gladfelter, Mario Gliazzi and Jeff
Robson rounded out the 1988
season and ended the tally with
an overall record of 14-2.
With an NCAA Division 11 sev-
enth-ranked position at mid-sea-
son, the Indians boasted quite an
impressive season overall. With
losses only to Pitt (6-3) and Edin-
boro (5-4), the lUP men handed
in a season with victories over St.
Francis, West Liberty State,
Westminster, Duquesne, Lock Ha-
ven, Penn State-Behrend, Juni-
ata, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock,
Frostburg State (.Md.), Gannon
and Wooster. The men finished
the season with the PSAC tourna-
ment at Bloomsburg, where the
Indians fell .second to the Huskies
in early May.
This year's most outstanding
team performance, according to
coach Vince Celtnieks, was
against Gannon March 26, where
lUP crowned Gannon 8-1 on the
visitors' courts.
""It was definitely one of our
best matches," said Celtnieks.
"Other teams have played them
and lost, but we beat them. They
had strong players," he contin-
ued, "but we played well through
the whole match."
Most notable in the lUP-Gan-
non match was sophomore Dave
Jacobs, who Celtnieks said "had
just been put in this position (as
a singles player), and he beat his
opponent."
Celtnieks cited Welker and
Hanes as the top-seeded players
for 1988.
"Jim won all his matches in
the regular season in two sets,"
said Celtnieks. "And he had only
one loss as a regular-season play-
er last year.
"Brad only lost one match in
singles this season, and last year
he didn't lo.se a match in singles
at all."
"Together, Welker and Hanes
have totalled 30 doubles matches
without a loss and in singles fin-
ished 29-1 for two years overall.
In regular-season play, the two
seniors have been undefeated for
the last two years.
Other season notables wee
Gliazzi and Robson, with a 9-7
overall record in doubles; fourth-
seeded Nuss with a 14-1 singles
season, and the Paul Smith-N'uss
duo, who finished with an im-
pressive overall record of 14-2.
Celtnieks reflected on lUP's
third-spotted title in the state in
the early 1970s, but summed up
the Indians' 1988 season by not-
ing, "This is the best overall fin-
ish for lUP tennis— ever."

Twenty-Four Ail-Americans Honored
This year's Ail-American din-
ner was highlighted by the recog-
nition of the National Champion
gymnastics team, who made up
the majority of the 24 student
honorees.
Besides the 12 gymnasts, the
1987-88 AIl-Americans were hon-
ored in women's cross country,
field hockey, football, soccer, and
men's and women's track and
field.
Leading the honorees was
Tammy Donnelly-Slusser, a 1987
graduate who once again was the
"most decorated" of the student
athletes.
"Tammy is probably the most
decorated All-American in the
history of the school," said coach
Ed Fry. Donnelly-Slusser was
honored for her four track and
field and one cross country
performances.
Also honored in this spot was
was Elisa "Weezie" Benzoni,
whom Fry called "a most coura-
geous person" for her third-place

Intramurals: Growth And Confrontation
The year began with comput-
ers and ended in confrontation,
but both led to changes in the
intramural department in the ac-
ademic year 1987-1988 which will
better their opei'ations in the
future.
According to Dr. Royden
Grove, director of intramurals,
"We've entered the computer
age."
Grove referred to the purchase
of the department's computer
which now enables them to put
all correspondence, rules and I'eg-
ulations and scheduling informa-
tion for intramural activities into
its memory.
"It just makes for fantastic re-
cord keeping," Grove said. "And
it has made so many things easier
for us to manage."
Grove went on to explain how
they could store all intramural
results on the new computer and
have the team win/loss records
available to be printed out at any
time. He also explained how
much the computer would help
with the revision of rules of
sports from year to year.
"A lot of redundant things that
were done every year are now
semi-automatic," he said. "The
student doesn't see that, but it
does improve the quality of the
program."
The confrontation of the year
was between Grove and Athletic
Director Frank Cignetti and a
controversy over softball playing
Intramurals such as ping pong and soft-
ball were open to all members of the stu-
dent body during the school year.
facilities, but it ended with posi-
tive, long-term results for every-
one involved.
According to Grove, Cignetti
felt that the football team was in
need of more space in the spring,
and so he refused at first to allow
women's softball to play on the
practice fields by Miller Stadium.
Traditionally, women's softball
has played on these on-campus
fields while men's softball played
on the off-campus fields of Mack
Park and Getty Heights, Grove
said, but Cignetti suggested the
two share these off-campus facil-
ities, and cut the men's roster
down to allow enough space for
both.
"But guys will go anywhere to
play," Grove said. "Girls really
won't (go that far to play), and
we've got to give them equal
time.
"I cancelled the men's softball
knowing it would cause a flap,"
he continued. "When it hit THE
PENN, the administration woke
up and we worked something
out."
The controversy ended on a
good note, according to Grove, be-
cause it got the administration to
recognize that there was a real
problem with available facilities.
"In the long run the students
will benefit from the softball
problem," he said. "Now they're
looking into trying to light the
fields on campus so we can better
utilize the space we have."
It was somewhere between the
computers and the softball con-
troversy that the intramural de-
partment made another small ac-
quisition which led to major
improvements in their system ef-
ficiency: They bought a phone
message recorder.
Maybe it sounds trivial, but ac-
cording to Grove it has enhanced
the quality of communication
tremendously.
"Every night at 4:30 (when the
office closes), we turn it on," he
said. "The machine says what
gyms are being used, so you can
see if you could play a pickup
game of basketball, and it says
what changes have been made in
the schedules. It saves a lot of
trouble in communication mix-
ups."

fraternities allow students to make con-

ACEI Helps Cheer
Local Children
Working to foster individual
growth and inter-personal rela-
tionships throughout the mem-
bership and society is the main
goal of the Association for Child-
hood Education International
(ACEI), President Mary Pelle-
grino said.
The group, consisting mainly
of future teachers and profes-
sionals, is also interested in "the
improvement of the quality of life
for children of all ages, races and
creeds." Pellegrino added.
ACEI has 45 members who are
primarily elementary education
majors. The group held many ac-
tivities throughout the year in-
cluding a haunted house which
over 100 children and their par-
ents attended, an arts and crafts
workshop for elementary educa-
tion majors, visits to Indiana Hos-
pital's pediatrics unit for Christ-
mas and St. Patrick's Day, and a
self-esteem symposium featuring
Dr. Steven Sorokan,
The group sold sweatshirts
which stated: "If you can read
this, thank a teacher." ACEI also
held an orientation social at the
beginning of the year, arranged a
field trip to the Department of
Education in Washington, D.C.,
and had a spring banquet and
awards ceremony.
".•\CEI lets students interact
with the community and work
with different kinds of children,"
member Nina Lonchar said.
"The teamwork and support
from the members are very spe-
cial qualities of the group," Leigh
Templeton added.

AB Creates
Fun For lUP
It has been a busy year for the lUP Activi-
ties Board. AB sponsored the Love and Rock-
ets concert, the Parent's Day Dinner Cabaret
with comedian Tim Settimmi, the annual Pre-
Exam Jam, The Best of the 'Burgh concert
featuring three bands from Pittsburgh, and
the Pictionary Tournament, among others.
"We have a good crew," Bill Halloran,
chairman of the board, said. "We've probably
got the most energetic, self-motivated, cre-
ative bunch of individuals on campus."
All together, there are over 100 people on
the AB.
Halloran, mastermind behind last year's
Cabbage Patch Doll Acapuico Cliff Dive and
organizer of the All-.\ight Film Festivals, said
that most of the ideas for activities come from
random thinking.
"If someone has an idea he thinks sounds
like fun, and if he can get people behind it,"
Halloran said, "we usually do it."
For other functions, such as concerts and
comedians, Halloran said that the Board
checks with the National Association for
Campus Activities, agents and surveys they
circulate around campus.

interested in exploring and im-
proving education in
Pennsylvania.
Associated with the state and
national PSEA, the lUP chapter
is concerned with preparing fu-
ture classroom teachers and with
the formulation of educational
policy.
With close to 90 members,
PSEA's purpose is:
-to influence the conditions un-
der which future teachers are
prepared to permit maximum
professional competence.
-to provide a united student
voice in matters affecting stu-
dents' education and profession.
-to develop an understanding
of and an appreciation for the
role of PSEA and the education
profession.
-to promote and protect stu-
dents' civil and human rights.
-to forward quality education,
and
-to stimulate the highest ideals
of professional ethics, attitudes
and standards.
PSEA activities include: a book
sale, a certification workshop and
activities fair, a TELLS test sym-
posium, a Christmas party, a pan-
el discussion by local school prin-
cipals, a ski trip, a health-related
symposium, "AIDS in the Class-
room," and a trip to Harrisburg to

A-Phi-0 On The Go
Progressing.
That's one word that could be
used to describe Alpha E'hi Ome-
ga during the 19H7-1988 academic
year.
Although it was a year of
many highpoints, THE highpoint
of the year had to be HOMKCOM-
ING! For the first time in A-Phi-
O's 28-year histoi'y, the fraternity
was the proud creator of the
first-place float in the Homecom-
ing Parade. The float was "The
Grinch that Stole Christmas,"
and its construction was a testa-
ment to the friendship, coopera-
tion and unity that exist within
the brotherhood.
As usual, the brotherhood be-
gan each semester with its larg-
est regular project— the Book Ex-
change. At the exchange,
students could buy or sell used
books while the fraternity took a
percentage markup of the price.
The fall book exchange alone
raised approximately ■$3,500.
Although the book exchange
may be A-Phi-0's most famous
service project, it is by far not the
fraternity's only one. This year
the brotherhood also participated
in several Red Cross blood drives,
the Visitors-to-the-.'\ged program
and the Love Basket program. A-
Phi-0 also sponsored a hayride
for Big Brothers and Big Sisters
of Indiana County.
The fraternity gave nearly
.$1,000 to such organizations as
the American Diabetes .Associa-
tion, the .Newman Center and the
Well-Baby Clinic.
Once again this year, A-Phi-0
proved that service doesn't have
to be antisocial. The hou.se at
1162 Water St. became the unoffi-
cial fraternity "party house." The
spring and fall formals were the
social highlights of the year. The
social schedule was also filled
with such activities as all-night
bowling, a spaghetti dinner and
horseback riding.
Partaking in all this fun were
nearly .50 new brothers. This has
brought the brotherhood back to
nearly 100 members, and makes
A-Phi-0 the largest fraternal or-
ganization at IL'P. .And that's
progress.

representative body of the lUP
campus. SGA functions as the
student voice to faculty and
administration.
SGA holds six or seven meet-
ings a semester. During those
meetings, bills are passed regard-
ing policies on student and facul-
ty affairs. It also provides ser-
vices and programs to the entire
university community. Included
in those activities are the Red
Cross Blood Drive, Homecoming
elections and general elections
for the Student Senate Associa-
tion, junior and senior class of-
fices. Commonwealth Association
of Students. SGA and Student
Coop Board of Directors.
SGA is comprised of 64 repre-
sentatives elected at-large. These
representatives are elected for a
one-year term. Each representa-
tive is required to attend congres-
sional meetings, serve on a com-
mittee and fulfill one office hour
per week.
SGA consists of eight commit-
tees: Academic Affairs. Financial
Affairs. Elections, Internal Af-
fairs. Public Relations. Rules.
Student Affairs and Tri-Campus.

Journalists Make
Contacts
The lUP chapter of the Society
of Professional Journalists/
Sigma Delta Chi was established
in 1980 to benefit students work-
ing toward a career in the media.
The 35-plus local members par-
ticipate in a variety of activities,
and each local member has the
opportunity to become part of the
national professional fraternity.
Perhaps one of the most re-
warding aspects of membership
in the lUP chapter is the opportu-
nity to participate in the
student/mentor program with
the Pittsburgh professional chap-
ter. Through this program, stu-
dents become acquainted with a
professional in the field, visit
their place of employment and
receive valuable advice and
suggestions.
"1 feel one of the biggest bene-
fits of being a SPJ/SDX member
is the opportunity to make many
contacts," lUP chapter president
Jane Miller said. "As a college
student, that's one of the most
important things he or she should
have as a priority during his col-
lege career."
This year the chapter hosted
numerous professional journal-
ists as speakers, participated in a
3-part journalism symposium and
sponsored a journalism
workshop.
SPJ/SDX was founded in 1909
at DePau.x University in Green-
castle, Ind., to ensure freedom of
information to the public, main-
tain high ethical standards with-
in the profession and recognize
outstanding achievement by jour-
nalists through various awards
and scholarships.

Panhel
Governs
Sororities
lUP's Panhellenic Council is an
affiliate of the National Panhel-
lenic Council, an association of 26
sororities in the United Sates and
Canada.
The council, consisting of an
executive board and two repre-
sentatives from each of lUP's 14
sororities, is the governing body
for the approximately 700 soror-
ity sisters on campus, according
to Greek Affairs Director Terry
Appolonia. The council acts as a
mediator and imposes sanctions
when rules are broken.
"People on campus don't real-
ize that Panhel itself isn't social,"
Panhellenic Council President
Melanie Nestor said. "It's defi-
nitely a governing body."
In addition to governing, the
council's main effort is formal so-
rority rush, according to Appo-
lonia. Rushees go to parties at
every sorority and are provided
with rush counselors who are al-
ready members of sororities.
The council also sponsors edu-
cational programs for sisters and
pledges. Nestor said that the
women's issues awareness pro-
gram is new this year. It features
speakers on law and liability, ac-
quaintance rape and other perti-
nent topics.
The council also sponsors a se-
ries of programs required for
pledges. The programs are de-
signed to educate the pledges
about the sorority system.
Nestor said that the Panhel-
lenic Council will work this year
with its fraternity counterpart,
the Interfraternity Council, to
sponsor a drug and alcohol
awareness week. There will be
three days of programming fea-
turing speakers open to all stu-
dents. The greek organizations
will work in cooperation with
BACCHUS and Steady Mick's, a
non-alcoholic nightclub. The drug
and alcohol awareness week is
designed to raise consciousness in
the university community regard-
ing substance abuse.

AERho Has' A
Winning Year
Alpha Epsilon Rho (AERho) is
the honorary broadcasting soci-
ety at lUP. Membership is open to
ail communication media majors
and minors who have at least a
3.0 QPA in the major and a 2.5
overall. Gail Wilson advises the
group.
This AERho has its largest
membership ever. After five
years at lUP, AERho now has 55
members. The group has raised
more funds and is sending more
delegates to its conventions than
ever before.
Their activities include field
trips such as the one scheduled to
WTAE during the spring 1988 se-
mester. They also attend the re-
gional and national conventions.
This year's national convention is
being held in Brockport, N.Y., and
AERho is planning to send about
20 delegates— enough to give
them the largest delegation
there.
AERho won the production
awards competition. They sub-
mitted the most program/news-
cast tapes to win this honor.
Each spring AERho sponsors
what they call the "Spring
Fling." It is somewhat of a com-
munications media formal, and
all communications media stu-
dents and faculty are invited.
Last fall, they co-sponsored a Fall
Hoedown with WIUP-FM and
WIUP-TV, and informal dinner
dance with a Western theme.
AERho also holds fundraisers
and all proceeds go to their na-
tional philanthropy, Tourettes

cal speech disorder.

WIUP-TV "Channels"
Energy Into Telethon
\VIL'P-T\' experienced perhaps
its most exciting and productive
year in 1987-88,
WIUP-TV is primarily a stu-
dent-operated station on Cable
Channel 9 and has approximately
100 members. The station serves
the Indiana community and the
lUP campus with locally-pro-
duced programs as well as XCTV
progiamming.
One of the most exciting as-
pects is the station's new faculty
coordinatoi-, Dr. Jay Start. Di-.
Start, with the aid of station
manager Jim Kapustik and pro-
gram director Meg Shuey, helped
motivate a fairly young manage-
ment staff in effectively organiz-
ing general members.
The most time-consuming
event of the year was WR'P-TV's
1987 Christmas Telethon to bene-
fit the Salvation Arriiv of Indiana
County. The telethon, broadcast
tape-delay from the Indiana Mall
and coordinated by Bruce Huff-
man, raised over $1,00(1. The
Commonwealth of F^nnsylvania
awarded the station a Citation of
Recognition for its efforts.
Other activities included
Homecoming 1987 in which
\V11P-T\' helped sponsor- Home-
coming Queen Kunner-L'p Anne-
marie Agnew. Wll'P-TV traveled
to Clarion University to observe
its television operations.
During spring r-egistration, the
station undertook a new project.

Food Service Majors
"Serve" As Waiters
lUP's Food Service and Lodg-
ing Club works to bring food ser-
vice majors in contact with pro-
fessionals from many facets of
the industry, to foster a profes-
sional attitude within the hospi-
tality industry and to prepare
students for employment.
"We want to give students a
more realistic view of the indus-
try by providing them with guest
speakers and tours," club presi-
dent Karen Bauer said.
To do this, the Food Service
and Lodging Club provided its 70
members with hands-on experi-
ence, demonstrations and tours.
Club members had the opportuni-
ty to work as waiters and wait-
resses, to lun a food booth during
Homecoming and to tour the \"is-
ta International Hotel,
Pittsburgh.
The club also sponsored a chil-
dren's benefit dinnei' in Indiana's
Chevy Chase section.
With the help of Iris Holtz of
the Chevy Chase Community Cen-
ter, the club provided a spaghetti
dinner for about 50 children of
the Chevy Chase area.
"It was really nice. The chil-
dren really enjoyed it," Bauer
said.
"I was very impressed." Holtz
said. "This group was very well
organized. The presents they
gave the children were well-
thought-out also."

Psychology Club
Hosts Speakers
The psychology club was
founded at'lUP in 1964. The club
was founded three years prior to
the formation of the psychology
department. The advisers of the
club include Dr. Gary Patton, Dr.
Donald Robertson and Dr. Gordon
Thornton.
The psychology club is in-
volved with the Mental Health
Association of Indiana. The mem-
bers of the club help this organi-
zation recruit volunteers to work
with them.
One of the activities the psy-
chology club will be involved in
this year is helping to collect toys
for children at the Indiana Guid-
ance Center to be used in play
therapy in the fall. The club is
also helping to sponsor a speaker
for the spring semester. June
Reinisch, the director from the
Kinsey Institute, will speak at
lUP in -April. Also in April, the
members of the club will be trav-
eling to Buffalo, N.Y., ta attend
the Eastern Psychological Associ-
ation conference.
The psychology club is open to
all students at IL'P. Members
need not be a psychology major
or minor to join. The club works
closely with Psi Chi, the honorary
society for psychology. The two
groups work together to develop
the interests of all students who
are involved in any with
psychology.

Dietetics Group Provides Nutrition Information
The Student Dietetic Associa-
tion (SDA) at lUP, which comes
under the auspice of the Pennsyl-
vania Dietetic Association
(PADA), pi'ovides opportunities
to develop in the dietetics profes-
sion and nutrition services for
the Indiana communitv.
The active 95-student associa-
ton "provides various activities
for the community and students."
Donna Cauffiel, SDA advisor,
said.
SDA helps the Diabetes Associ-
ation, the annual health fair at
the Indiana Mall, and at blood
mobiles. The gioup also provides
nutrition information for custom-
ers at grocery stoies.
SDA has benefitted students in
the dietetics field since 1975, ac-
cording to Cauffiel.
"It has helped the individual
student. It has given them a bet-
ter perspective of the field, as
well as providing contacts and
summer internships and has also
helped impiove students' creden-
tials," Cauffiel said.

SSA Works
To Improve
lUP Policies
Students at lUP gained admis-
sion to the Student Senate Associ-
ation in 1972, and in 1985, SSA
became recognized as an organi-
zation at I UP. Headed by Marc
Brown, the SSA is still an integral
part of the campus life.
In the past year, SSA support-
ed the lUP Rugby Team in its
search for field space. When the
Black Student League opposed a
new policy regaiding the recog-
nizing of organizations, the SSA
stepped in and lobbied on their
behalf, and eventually the law
was repealed. The SSA was also
involved in piojects involving
grade appeals and liberal studies;
they were responsible for the cre-
ation of a class syllabus policy at
lUP. In addition, the SSA and the
Student Government Association
jointly submitted to the adminis-
tration suggestions on how to im-
prove the drop-add piocess.
The SSA is one of only two
parts of the University system by
which students, by their vote,
have a say in what goes on in the
University. For the first time,
this year the USA held theii' own
election under Michelle Angello,
Chair of the election committee.
One advantage of being in-
volved with the SSA is being able
to interact with administrators.
According to Vice President
Corinne Carey: "When you're a
university senator, you have the
privilege of speaking one-on-one
with various administrators."
Carey is concerned about the
lack of student involvement in
making changes at lUP.
"Students are missing out on a
golden opportunity," Carey said.
"If they were activated now like
students were in the 60s, a lot
more would get done."

The Student Marketing Associ-
ation (SMA), a cfiapter of the
American Marketing Association
(AMA), helps students develop
professional marketing, advertis-
ing and sales experience, accord-
ing to the S.MA adviser.
"S.MA has programs in areas
such as speakers, career fairs
and professional-social get-to-
gethers," Krish Krishnan said.
"We attend national and interna-
tional marketing conferences
where marketing students from
ail over the world share ideas
and experiences."
Once a month, SM.A members,
who are in excess of 100 people
and still growing, have a chance
to attend a program, "Network
Nights," in Pittsburgh.
Various speakers tell the stu-
dents what the "real world" of
marketing is like and what job
opportunities exist, Krishnan
said.
This program provides many
contacts for students which will
aid in their job search after
college.

Hockey
Players Hit
The Ice
When the snow begins to fall
at lUP, it is not unusual to find
Ken Barkman or Dan Powell
sharpening their ice skates for
the beginning of the ice hockey
season.
The team, lead by coach John
Layden. plays its usual 14-ganie
season at the Belmont Arena lo-
cated in Kittanning.
With last year's record of sev-
en wins, five losses and one tied
game. Ken Barkman feels quite
optimistic for the 87-88 season.
"We'll definitely be in the
play-offs. The best teams are
lUP. Gannon, and Pitt." Barkman
said.
This year the team gained out-
standing freshmen Eric .\mbler.
Chris Moore and Craig Chalot to
join junior starters Rob Carey
and Chris Brown and senior
starter Chiis Lazaroff. The play-
ers feel that college ice hockey is
more challenging than profes-
sional hockey because they have
to balance school work with the
desire to hit the ice, but co-presi-
dents Chris Brown and Ken Bark-
man agree that the e.xcitement of
the game is definitely worth the
challenge.

Swimmers Perform
Olympic-Style
"I can't believe I'm doing it.
It's something I kind of jumped
into and then I saw how haid it
was. I'm suiprised I could keep
up."
Alain McGoun, a junior, was
talking about synchronized swim-
ming. .\ member of ITPisces,
lUP's synchronized swim club,
McGoun got involved in the sport
through a gym class and then be-
came interested in the club.
Michelle Bright, lUPisces's
treasurer, has had more experi-
ence. She has been swimming
since 7th grade and belonged to
her high school synchronized
swim club.
"I Just went up one night and
have been swimming ever since,"
she said.
lUPisces is now in its 11th
year at lUP. The club has been
competing for three years.
1987 was a good year for the
group. It sent si.x members to na-
tional competition at Ohio State
University in March. lUP was
ranked ninth overall and one trio
was ranked seventh in the
nation.
lUPisces's annual show was
.April 14-17. Four Olympic-themed
performances were given. The
show ranged from solo routines to
routines consisting of up to 16
people.
Although synchronized swim-
ming may look easy, it is actually
very difficult, McGoun and
Bright said.
"It takes a lot of control and
endurance," Bright said.

Despite Chaos, The Penn Produces
From the outside, it looks like
total confusion. On the inside, it
is chaos.
But somehow everything
comes together, and every Mon-
day, Wednesday and Friday, stu-
dents all over campus can be seen
reading The Penn, Il'P's student
newspaper.
The Penn is staffed by over
100 students who are managed by
one full-time professional.
This year— on the 60th anni-
versary of the publication— one
small technicality arose: Jim
Devlin, who for four years acted
as director of student publica-
tions, moved on to another job.
The students were left to fend for
themselves.
From the end of August to the
middle of October, the heads of
the business, advertising and pro-
duction departments were run-
ning the office. Many complained
that they were inefficient, inex-
perienced and simply, incapable.
Regardless, three days a week—
maybe not always on schedule—
the paper was on the streets.
On October 4, the new director
stepped into her office, sat down
at her desk and went to work.
The pressure was on— there was
so much to learn in so little time.
Slowly, Debra Dursi began to
get a feel for the office atmo-
sphere. A few extra hours of
work here and there, and things
finally began to fall back into
place.
Jane Miller and Sidra Walker,
the fall and spring advertising
managers, respectively, began in-
troducing Dursi to the world of
Penn advertising. Dursi met peo-
ple from the laiger businesses in
the area and became familiar
with the established policies.
Quynh Luong, who held the po-
sition of business manager during
the fall semester, helped Dursi
study the monetary aspect. Mar-
co Vietti took over Luong's posi-
tion in the spring, and together
he and Dursi put their efforts to-
ward keeping The Penn financial-
ly stable.
Production Manager Gayle
Schmidt was in charge of teach-
ing Dursi about the complexity of
the office's many computer sys-
tems, including anything from
how to turn on the machine to
major problem-solving.
In a matter of months, things
were finally back to normal— or
as normal as they would ever be
in the office of The Penn. But
things are never really normal
there.
Between the hours of 9 and 11
a.m., there are a few stragglers,
but mainly all that can be found
is a secretary taking a minimum
amount of phone calls and taking
care of general office duties.
Around noon the pace picks
up.
Monday, Wednesday and Fri-
day afternoons are ad production
days. The seven advertising rep-
resentatives are hard at work on
the phones and the streets trying
to fill advertising space. Once
they sell the ad, it's time to head
back to the office and put the
production staff to work.
Tuesday, Thursday and Sun-
day afternoons don't actually
pick up until after 5 p.m. Then
it's time for the invasion of the
editorial staff The fight for a
compute!- terminal is on.
This late-night shift can run
any time between midnight and 5
a.m. when the paper is scheduled
to be shipped to Gateway printers
in Monroeville.
How do people pass the time
and keep their sanity at that time
in the morning? Sports. Office

The Penn staff members are
the founders of the Indiana H(x:k-
ey League and the Indiana Base-
ball League, along with many
other sport variations. Most of
these are played with a stuffed
pumpkin and a ruler at any time
of the day.
When the Hadley I'nion Build-
ing received a bomb threat and
the building had to be evacuated,
at 7 the following morning the
editorial staff filed back into the
building to work steadily for the
ne.xt five hours to get The Penn
out by dinner time.
Since then, the paper has tak-
en much abuse and has received
much praise. Some format
changes here and there and a dif-
ferent look at the world through
the eyes of Editor-in-Chief James
Kubus and his successor Tim
Maher take the credit.
But through all the conflict
and the controversy, three days a
week one familiar question can
be heard: "Did The Penn come
out yet?"

Oak Staff Spends
"A Year In Motion
M
After much investigation and
consideration, this is the official
77th volume of the OAK. The lUP
yearbook was started in 1912 and
was called the Instano. The name
was changed to the OAK in 1928.
Volume numbers came and went
throughout the years; but, with
the help of Phil Zorich from Uni-
versity Archives, we have
learned this is undoubtedly Vol-
ume 77.
This year's OAK typified the
theme, "A Year in Motion." Af-
fectionately termed "A Year of
Crises" by some staff members,
this book went through many
changes, both externally and in-
ternally. We saw the departure of
OAK adviser Jim Devlin and re-
mained adviser-less for over a
month until Debra Dursi joined
the ranks. Changes among the
staff were many, and sometimes
it seemed there was never a dull
moment in the new OAK office in
the HIB.
We sometimes wondered how
we managed to produce anything
after all of the staff changes, sti-
pend cuts and never-ending lack
of candids: but the Iti-member
editorial staff braved through the
hardships and produced one of
the best books ever at IL'P.
This year's book also had some
physical changes. More color was
added, the academics section be-
came once again geared toward
students, and a contest was held
for the OAK cover.
"A Year in Motion" it definite-
ly was, and we hope your college
experience will be captured with-
in the pages of the 1988 OAK.

Office Group Focuses
On Business World
Office Administration is a busi-
ness field that has existed for
about 10 years.
The Office Administration
Club was established by the busi-
ness faculty six years ago so stu-
dents could meet people in the
field, gain first-hand information
about the business world and
make outside contacts. Members
receive these benefits from meet-
ings, field trips and invited
speakers.
Dr. Sharon Steigman, a busi-
ness faculty member, helped es-
tablish the club, and one year
after its origination in 1981, she
became the adviser. She still
holds the position and enjoys
working with the students. Dur-
ing meetings she supplies the
group with information about
possible field trips or speakers,
and new developments in the
business world. By presenting
general information and making
suggestions. Dr. Steigmann al-
lows the officers and the other
members to make the actual
decisions.
Field trips benefit members by
providing them with actual office
settings, modern technology and
office procedures. In spring 1987,
the students visited the IB.Vl
branch office in Pittsburgh. Dur-
ing spring 1988, they plan to visit
Westinghouse and West Penn
Power.
In addition to field trips, the
club scheduled two speakers for
spring 1988. The lectures provide
specific information about the
business world and enable stu-
dents to interact with the speak-
ers on a one-to-one basis.

Kappa Omicron Phi (KOPhi), a home eco-

size high ideals and a deep appreciation of the
home.
KOPhi's Tau chapter at IL'P was chartered
May 1, 1940. Membership is based on scholar-
ship and personality.
"The KOPhi responsibilities of membership
are to further the interests of our career goals
and to provide a better relationship between
faculty and students," KOPhi President Irish
Tatarzvn said.
Joy Koob
KOPhi members must be enrolled in the
College of Home Economics with a major in
interior design, hotel management, dietetics,
nutrition, fashion merchandising, or consum-
er affairs.
Several members attended the Kappa Omi-
cron Phi Regionals in Huntingdon, W. Va., Oct.
30-31, 1987. Seminars were conducted about
time management, stress management, the
organizational crest and other topics.
"Teach and Adult to Read" was the KOPhi
1987 community project. KOPhi members, in
conjunction with the .■\dult Literature Pro-
gram and the Indiana Library, volunteered
time to assist Indiana adults who are learning
to read.
KOPhi chose "Commitment to Writing" as
its 1987-88 school year theme. Home econom-
ics department staff spoke to the chapter
members about writing term papers and tech-
nical writing.

IBD Promotes
Professionalism
The Institite of Business De-
signers (IBD) ran smoothly
through another year, highlight-
ed by field trips, a fashion show,
and fundraisers.
In both October and March,
the club went on field trips to
Steelcast to tour the furniture
showroom office. Also, in Octo-
ber. IBD. in conjuction with the
lUP fashion group, put on a fash-
ion show in the HUB. Fundraisers
included hoagie sales, donut
sales, and filling out credit card
applications.
IBD's fundraisers also helped
to sponsor several guest speakers,
including a panel discussion
where four speakers including
two professional designers from
Pittsburgh, one architect and one
manufacturing representative for
a contract carpeting company.
came to Ackerman Hall to talk to
students and answer their
questions.
Dr. Donna Striefthau and .Mrs.
Chris Kesner of the consumer
services department served as
club advisers. The club is aimed
at promoting professionalism
among the interior design
students.
"We like to put the emphasis
on giving the students the oppor-
tunity to interact with profe---
sionals." Kesner said. "We focu^
on showing them their job re-
sponsibilities, and we show them
opportunities in the field and
how to use an interior design
degree."

Have An Interest? Start A Club!
Initiative. Motivation. Deteinii-
nation. If you evef vvondeied v\ liy
no oiganizt'ii giiiup exists for one
of your favorite activities,
chances are the potential group is
waiting for a founder with the
above three characteristics.
IIP already recognizes over
201) organizations and activities
on campus, and each year that
number grows. One reason why
some organizations develop is he-
cause of cutbacks in other
groups.
The Indiana Grapplers Club
was founded in Spring 1987 by
Ward Allebach and Ron Gross.
"The wrestling team was cut
by lUP," .Allebach .said. "Since
wrestling is one of the most popu-
lar sports and Pennsylvania is
the most competitive state on the
East Coast for wrestling, I knew
there were people who wanted to
wrestle. I know I did."
Twenty-nine people signed up
for the group. That spring the
Grapplers elected officers and be-
gan to draw up their constitution.
All groups must compose a con-
stitution and have it approved by
the Student Government Associa-
tion and the Office of Student Ac-
tivities & Organizations before
being officially recognized as an
lUP organization.
"It took us a year to become
recognized," Allebach said, "but
foi' someone who has the time to
organize things sufficiently, it
would probably take 0-8 weeks."
Debby Albert and Meg Shuey.
co-founders of the U'P Women's
Leadership Caucus, believe pub-
licity is a problem.
"Creating interest in the orga-
nization is our biggest difficulty
right now," .\lbert said.
The Women's Caucus at lUP
was inspired by a similar group
at the University of Florida.
"Meg and I attended a national
womens leadership conference in
Washington, D.C., in June
(1987)," Albert said. "The caucus
sounded like something neat to
have at U'P to help women lead-
ers on campus and to build better
relationships between
organizations."
The :io-memher group formed
in September and submitted its
constitution in April. Currently
the caucus is a subcommittee of
the Women's Advisory Council.
As you can see, to successfully
get a new group off the ground, a
special mix of initiative, motiva-
tion and determination must be
achieved.

The Greek community at IIP
spent a year in motion trying
to improve their image. The 22 fraterni-
ties and 17 sororities spent a great deal
of time raising money for their philan-
thropies through such activities as Del-
ta Gamma's Beautiful Eyes. Phi Delta
Theta's baskethall-bouncing marathon.
Greeks
Sigma Chi> Derby Days, the .^SA
Spring Kiclvoff and KDRsWalk to Pitts-
burgh, just to name a few.
In the midst of this activity. new-
Greek organizations were being formed
and working toward receiving their
charters. Kappa Gamma sorority and Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity had a busy year
meeting the require-
ments to begin a new
Greek organization.
Stricter regulations
imposed last year by
the university con-
trolled much of the
underage drinking
which once took
place at the fraterni-
ties, and entry into
parties became more
difficult as brothers
became more wary of
fines by the LCB and possible loss of
recognition by the university.
Social activities certainly didn't suf-
fer through all of this service-oriented
activity. April's Greek Week and Greek
Sing enabled the panicipants to break
loose and compete while having fun.
Greek Happy Hour became a Friday tra-
dition, as did the usual mixers, date
parties and formals.
This year marked the first of the
new sorority rush system, with infor-
mal rush in the fall and formal rush in
the spring. Fraternities also continued
with their dry rush policy.

Greek System Fulfills
Needs Of Students
The Greek Life System is an integral part of lUP and of many
students at the University.
The system spans 73 years beginning in 1915 with the chartering
of two national sororities. The first fraternity at lUP was founded
in 1930.
Since then, the 22 fraternities and 18 sororities, make up the
largest greek community in the State System of Higher Education,
with more than 1,800 members.
There are two inter-fraternal organizations within lUP's Greek
System: the Interfraternity Council for fraternities, and the Pan-
hellenic Council for Sororities. Members of the different Greek
Organizations make up the e.xecutive officers of the two groups.
IFC president for the 1987-1988 academic year was Sigma Chi Dan
NichoUs. President of Panhel was Delta Gamma Marta Braun in
the fall, and Alpha Omicron Pi sister Melanie Nestor in the spring.
According to Terry .\ppoIonia, assistant director of Greek Life,
"The future of the system depends exclusively on its ability to
fulfill legitimate needs, such as leadership outlet, a sense of belong-
ing, and deinstitutionalizing an institutionalized atmosphere for
students at the unversity."
Appolonia believes that the Greek System offers students a
chance to belong to something personalized, not just to a university
of 13,000 students.
"As a university, our primary product is the student. We have to
produce, in four years, a well-rounded individual," Appolonia said.
While developing that type of individual, ll'P greeks participated
in numerous activities over the 1987-88 academic year, during
which time they contributed more than 5,000 manhours and ap-
proximately 830,000 toward charitable causes.
Also during 1987-88 sororities changed traditional formal rush
period from the fall to the spring.
According to Kelly Carson, vice president of rush for the 1987-88
academic year, "The main changes have only been with changing
formal rush to the beginning of the spring semester."
Carson added that there was a good reason foi' this change.
"Better planning and more time to get the information out is the
primary reason for the change. This way sororities can get informa-
tion out to prospective rushees at the end of the fall semester.
Then, those students have a chance to orientate themselves with
campus and college life before they go through rush."
Carson believes it will do the greek system a lot of good.
"In general, these students will be better established on campus
and comfortably settled in while making their contribution to our
greek system."

work of close and special friends
working together for a common
goal. Because of AGD, my college
career holds many wonderful
memories," said Justine Perzia,
1987-88 President.

DG Aids Blind
With Anchor
Clanker
The Epsilon Eta chapter of
Delta Gamma was founded at
IL'P on March 21, 1981, and the
chapter currently has 65 mem-
bers, making it one of the largest
sororities on campus.
Each fall, the sisters of Delta
Gamma hold the annual Anchor
Clanker, a crazy contest between
fraternity and sorority teams, to
raise money for their philanthro-
py, Aid to the Blind. In the
spring, they sponsor the Beauti-
ful Eyes contest.
In addition to these activities.
Delta Gamma also participates in
Greek Week, Sigma Chi Derby
Days, Alpha Gamma Delta's .Mr.
lUP contest and homecoming.
The Delta Gamma sisters also
find time to be involved in stu-
dent government, hall counseling,
ROTC, and the Penn staff.
Delta Gamma's colors are
bronze, pink and blue, and their
symbol is the anchor. Their flow-
er is the cream rose, and their
sweetheart is Phi Delta Theta
brother Carl Halkyer.
"I am very pleased to see how
the Greek system as a whole has
developed and I think that Delta
Gamma has contributed largely
to this growth," said DG Cathey

^ ASA Spring Kickoff Raises Money
The Alpha Gamma chapter of
Alpha Sinma Alpha sorority had
two busy and productive semes-
ters this year.
With a meinbeiship of o4 sis-
ter's, ASA devoted much time and
energy into numei'ous social and
contributory events on campus,
many dealing with the sororities'
philanthropy, Special Olympics.
In the fall, ASA participated in
Homecoming with Sigma Nu, and
constructed a float with the
theme "Ground Hog Day" for the
parade. Over homecoming week-
end, the sisteis and pledges treat-
ed the paients and alumni to a
tea in the ASA suite.
The sisters displayed their ath-
letic ability and placed second in
Kappa Sigma's powderpuff foot-
ball tournament. Socially, the sis-
ters organized two successful
date parties, a formal, and visited
ASA sistei's at Penn State foi' a
weekend.
The spring semester proved to
be the busiest time for Alpha Sig-
ma Alpha. They organized their
second annual Spring Kickoff
fundraiser, in which all of the
fraternities on campus partici-
pated. Among the many activi-
ties, the "Hot Bod" contest and
various field events made the day
a huge success.
ASA's motto is Aspire, Seek,
Attain. All members of ASA
proved that they can achieve the
spirit of their motto through the
many activities and contributions
to lUP and the community.

AOTT Triples Membership
Nicknamed the "Pi Girls," Al-
pha Omicron Pi (AOTT) is defini-
tely on the move. They nearly
tripled their size in under two
years. The Gamma Beta chapter,
almost 50 girls strong, was estab-
lished on the lUP campus on Feb.
26, 1966.
"We've been constantly im-
proving, and we feel that our
growth has contributed to the
overall growth of the Greek sys-
tem," said Lisa Morneweck, chap-
ter president. "Each of the chap-
ter members is different, yet we
all find a common bond in
AOTT."
Nationally founded on January
2, 1987 at Barnard College in New
York, the sorority participates in
date parties, mixers and formals
each semester. Every fall, AOTT
sponsors the "Sweetest Sweet-
heart" contest to raise money for
their philanthropy, the Arthritis
Research Foundation. They
raised over $200 last October.
In the fall, the "Pis" won hon-
orable mention for their Hannu-
kah float with Pi Kappa Phi and
competed in DG's Anchor
Clanker. Ex's Derby Days, Phi
Psi's Superdance, Greek Week
and Greek Sing with Kappa Delta
Rho kept the group busy in the
spring.
AOTT's national symbol is the
panda bear and their local sym-
bol, the lady bug. Their flower is
the Jacqeminot rose, color - Car-
dinal red and jewel - the ruby.
The chapter's sweetheart is
Karl McCall, and their advisors
are Cindy Lexow, and Dr.
Spieker.

AXiD Undergoes
Many Changes
Alpha Xi Delta was founded as
Omega Phi at ILT in 1962. The
Delta Nu chapter was formed the
following yeai- when the 0-Phis
affiliated with Alpha Xi Delta
and became a national fraternal
organization. 1988 is the 25th an-
niversary of the founding of the
Delta Nu chapter.
Over the last Tive years, Alpha
Xi has undergone many changes.
The improvements to the chapter
have brought about more involve-
ment and an increase in member-
ship. There are currently over 40
active sisters.
In the fall of "87, AXiD has
participated in several campus
and Greek activities. To support
their philanthropy, the .American
Lung Association, Alpha Xi held
their annual Mr. Lung Contest.
Contestants were judged on their
lung capacity, appearance, and
amount of money raised. Jody
Wireman, an Alpha Tau Omega
brother, came away with the
trophy.
ATO Greg Primm, the AXiD
sweetheart, won the AOPi Sweet-
est Sweetheart contest. Other
events the Alpha Xis have partic-
ipated in include the DG Anchor
Clanker, the Red Cross Blood
drive, Phi Mus toy drive for
needy children, and Theta Phi Al-
pha clothing drive.
Dark blue, light blue and gold
are the colors of Alpha Xi Delta,
and their flower is the pink rose.

The sisters of Delta Zeta par-
ticipated in various events during
the year, including Greek Week,

KG Formed This
Year By Friends
Kappa Gamma was founded
February 10, 1987, on the lUP
campus. There were sixteen
founding sisters who wanted a
way to express themselves, and
they found one: They went greek.
"It was a joint effort," says
Kiersten Hartman, president of
Kappa Gamma. She explained
that at first it was a bunch of
friends, but the group quickly de-
veloped into a sorority.
Kappa Gamma's activities in-
clude Delta Gamma's Anchor
Clanker, in which they took sec-
ond place overall, the Beautiful
Eyes contest, the Cutest Couple
contest and Homecoming, where
they placed seventh along with
Theta Xi, Derby Days, Greek Sing
with Alpha Chi Rho and Greek
Week.
Kappa Gamma has benefited
several philanthropies. March 21
through 25 they raised almost
$3200 for the National Arthritis
Foundation. Phi Delta Theta and
Kappa Gamma bounced a basket-
ball for 100 hours straight.
Kappa Gamma and Phi Sigma
Kappa collected money on Phila-
delphia Street and sold raffle
tickets to raise about $1500 for
the Ebensburg Retarded Citizens
Center.
Kappa Gamma's colors are lav-
ender and peacock and their
flower is the lavender rose. They
have two symbols, the white but-
terfly and the koala bear. Al-
though they have several mottos,
Hartman said that the group
stresses individuality. This is evi-
dent in the way which Kappa
Gamma started— friends wanting
to express themselves as
different.

ZETA
TAU
ALPHA
The Gamma Xi Chapter had a full year of excitement and
pi'ogi-ess during the 1987-88 school term.
The year was kicked off by homecoming with the brotheis of
Delta Sigma Phi. The sisters held an Alumni Tea homecoming
morning, and giaduates from as early as the U)5(ls enteitained with
stories of their Zeta Days.
The fall semester included Founder's Day, Anchor Clanker, a
hayride, and pledge formal at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown. The
Fall highlight was ZTA's Orange Crush. Men on campus receive
secret invitations to this traditional event.
The spring semester began with a succe.ssful rush, with member-
ship nearing 70 women. The sisters held their annual "Cutest
Couple" contest to benefit the Association for Retarded Citizens.
Zetas also participated in the Phi Psi dance marathon, which
prepared them for the long Greek Sing practice hours with Sigma
Nu.
Greek Week activities included many hours including awards for
volleyball, billiards, and Jeopardy. Sigma Chi Derby Days ended the
competitions for the yeai'.
Other social events included a date pary and the annual Senior
Banquet, where younger sisters roast the giaduating members.
Completing the spiing calendar was a spectacular formal at the
Greentree-Marriott.
Although the sisters are a diverse group and outside activities
range from cheerleading to student government, they hold the
common bond of friendship. The similarities run much deeper than
the visual display of their turquoise and giey letters.
"Zeta Tau Alpha has been a pait of my life since freshman year,
I could not imagine what college would have been like without it. I
know when I look back upon the past years my fondest memories
will be of ZTA," said graduating senior Susan Jenkins.

Philanthropies
Aided By Sigma Chi
Doug .Ware*
ILP's chapter of Sigma Chi has
long been committed to raising
money for philanthiopies.
And this year, as in previous
years, the fraternity kept up
their tradition.
The chapter, founded on cam-
pus in 1973, collected canned
goods in the fall for a Thanksgiv-
ing drive to provide for those who
might not be able to have a holi-
day meal.
Perhaps the most well-known
event of the Sigma Chi is its an-
nual Derby Days each spring, in
which soroiities compete to find
the "Golden Derby," while rais-

Sigma Chi also found time in
between these philanthropic ac-
tivities to participate in Delta
Gamma's Anchoi- Clanker, Greek
Sing and Greek Week, and of
course, homecoming.
The brothers of Sigma Chi also
find time for individual activities
including the PEW, IFC, and

Theta Chi Stresses
Brother Relations
Theta Chi fraternity strived to
increase the bonds within the
brotherhood this yar.
"We've been stressing inter-
brother relations," said Theta Chi
secretary Chet Kerr.
"You've got to be able to ques-
tion each other," Kerr said, and
added that within a 60-member
organization, communication is
very important.
Kerr said this has strength-
ened the brotherhood, along with
more activities as a fraternity.
One of these activities included a
24-hour volleyball marathon to
raise money for charity, which
the brothers held in April with
Sigma Kappa sorority.
The lUP chapter of Theta Chi
was founded in 1957, and its
members take pride in actively
participating in their organiza-
tion as well as outside activities
such as SGA and various student
government committees.
Theta Chis also participated in
the usual spring Greek activities
including Greek Week and Greek
Sing, and welcomed alumni dur-
ing the fall Homecoming
celebration.

Dirty Dancing In
Memoral Field
House
Greek Sing, the granddaddy
event of greek week, was fun
for all.
Held in the Memorial Field
House on April 10, Greek Sing
was a chance for sororities and
fraternities to show^ theii- sing-
ing and dancing talents as well
as promote greek unity.
This year's winners were
Theta Phi Alpha and Theta Chi,
who performed an upbeat, styl-
ish dirty dance routine to "I've
Had the Time of .'Vly Life" and
"Do You Love Me," from the hit
movie Dirty Dancing. Second
runner-up was Alpha Gamma
Delta and Phi Delta Theta tor
their rendition of the Olympic
ceremonies. Finally, tied for-
third were baby boomers Alpha
Tau Omega/Alpha Xi Delta and
Alpha Sigma Alpha/Phi Sigma
Kappa who danced to themes
from the musical "Grease."
"All the time and work we
put into it was all worth it when
they announced us as winning
first place," said Theta Phi Al-
pha Dirty Dancer Jennifer
Tasca, who said the two groups
pr'acticed every night for hour-s
for- about three weeks befor-e
the big day.
Newcomers to lUP's Greek
System Pi Kappa Phi and Kappa
Gamma were welcomed to
Gr-eek Sing by their competitors
as well as the crowd.
Approximately 30 sororities
and fraternities performed in
fr-ont of a mostly-Greek cr-owd
of over 1000 people. The enthu-
siasm of the spectators encour-
aged the participants to do their
best and have a great time.

Greek Week
1988
The week of April lO-HJ was
dedicated t(i 111' Greeks in the
form of Greek Week.
A host of games, activities
and events, Greek Week brings
together :)n sororities and fra-
ternities for one special cause,
the United Way. This year's
Greek Week philanthropy, the
Indiana United Way Chapter
was given $2000 from IL'H's so-
rorities and fraternities from
the sale of Greek Week T-shirts,
sponsored by Dominos.
The week kicked off with the
song and dance celebration,
Greek Sing. Sororities and fra-
ternities pair up to perform a
variety of dancing acts. This
year's winners were Theta Phi
Alpha and Theta Chi, who per-
formed a remake from the
"Dirty Dancing" soundtrack.
This event gave way to a se-
ries of daily events. Ranging
from Greek Jeopardy to Greek
gorge, an eating contest, Greek
organizations took part in many
activities including banner con-
tests, volleyball, racquetball, a
pledge-plus enrichment series,
miniature golf, pyramid build-
ing, arcade games, scavenger
hunts, and field day, a variety
of games and relay races.
.Mthough sororities and fra-
ternities won different events,
only one took top honors. The
winning fraternity was Tau
Kappa Epsilon and the sorority
was Theta Phi Alpha.
Although Greek Week is a se-
ries of fun and games, it is tak-
en very seriously by Greek
organizations.
The first annual awards ban-
quet took place on .April 19.
Chapter and individual awards
and certificates were given to
deserving fraternities and so-
rorities, their members and ad-
visors, for a job well done.
The purpose of Greek Week is
to promote interaction between
Greek organizations, an attempt
at fundraising for charitable or-
ganizations and visibility of the
Greek system, according to Ter-
rv Appolonia, director of Grek
Life.
"I think it's great that so
many people can come together
for one cause and have fun do-
ing it," Appolonia said.

1988 Greek Week King Brian Niccoli
It finally arrived. Our senior
year was here, the year we
could relax, enjoy ourselves, and build
those last few precious memories which
we'd carry with us throughout our
lives. Or so we thought. As seniors, we
found ourselves in motion more than
ever before; between preparing re-
sumes, applying and interviewing for
Seniors t
somewhere.

jobs, cramming in those last-minute
credits we needed to graduate, and pre-
paring mentally and physically for life
beyond college, we found there wasn't
much time to relax at all. But somehow
we managed to squeeze some fun in
As seniors, we had the
_ privileges which we
thought made us su-
perior to the rest of
the "juvenile" under-
class population. We
got to schedule first
(after the athletes),
we could work our
way into any class
we needed ("but I
need it to graduate . .
. "), we could get in
.^__^_^^_ uptown legally, and
above all, we just
had that senior attitude. Of course, by
mid-semester in the fall, "that senior
attitude" became better known as sen-
ioritis, something which we probably
haven't felt since high school. We still
had the advantages of a senior, but our
mental capacity began swiftly shrivel-
ling into, "Hey, I'm a senior. I deserve to
go out and have fun . . . it's my last
semester." And so it went throughout
the spring semester. As the weather
turned warmer, that senior affliction
became even more terminal, and before
we knew it, we were receiveing the
"You have been tentatively approved
for graduation" letters, information
about our caps and gowns, and the
ever-welcomed rejection letters. Al-
though it may not have been before
graduation, eventually that long await-
ed acceptance letter did arrive, and we
had to say goodbye to our last case of
senioritis and our university where we
spent "The Best Years of Our Lives."
These Phi Delt brothers gather for one last photo at

Awareness Key To Senior Fund Drive
Thf senidi^ woikinj; on the Se-
nior Fund Diive for the Class of
1988 tried a new approach for
their annual fund-raising effort:
Awareness.
"One of the major problems
we've had in the past has been
that the seniors just didn't know
about the drive," Kelley Cibulas,
the drive's co-chairman said.
The approach that Kelley and
co-chair/senior class president
Dave Wolczko chose for the 1988
drive attempted to contact more
seniors directly. This was done
under a new system which broke
down the solicitation effort and
involved more seniors.
The two co-chairs appointed
six seniors to be leaders for each
of the university's six colleges.
These leaders also appointed
leaders under them to encourage
seniors in each department to
help with the drive.
Kelley, Dave, the six college
leaders and drive treasurer Grey
Nanney made up the executive
cabinet which met weekly during
the spring semester to help plan
promotional events, such as the
senior reception held March 24 in
the Blue Room, and to discuss
how the solicitation methods
were working.
For next year's drive, and all
future Senior Fund Drives, it is
hoped that the class president
can use the same setup but can
start earlier in the year.
Dave said: "It's the senior class
president's responsibility to help
make the drive a success, and the
earlier he gets the drive going,
the more seniors will become
aware of it and want to
contribute."
In the past, efforts for the Se-
nior Fund Drive have been last-
minute attempts directed at the
senior class in general. Hopefully,
the system developed by the
Class of 1988 will be the ground-
work for future classes to use and
build upon for future successes.

How To Be A "Perfect" Graduate!
>*M
Doug Macek
Doug Mdcek
Way to go— for those students
graduating with a 4.0!
Karen Bodnar, 22, is one of
those students.
Karen, an elementary educa-
tion major with a concentration
in mathematics, wori<ed hard to
achieve her peifect QPA.
"Things didn't come easy to
me; I had to study just as hard as
everyone else," she said.
Karen spent most of her fresh-
man year in the library. However,
as the semesters went by, she
learned better study habits and
was able to ease up on the library
time a little bit.
Although Karen still spends
much of her time studying to
keep up her grades, she also
makes time foi' hei- hobbies and
activities.
Karen belongs to Kappa Delta
Pi, an honoiary education frater-
nity, and was a member of the
Association for Childhood Educa-
tion International for three
Theresa Prowell, 21, is another
4.0 graduate.
Theresa, a psychology major
with a minoi' in applied statistics,
says she enjoys learning which in
turn makes it easy to study.
"Some people may think you
have to study hard to achieve a
4.0, but for me studying came
easily," she said honestly.
Theresa says she studies for
about three hours each evening
and also studies a little in the
mornings and on the weekends.
She says she gets bored with
studying unless she has the radio
or the television on in the
background.
"From my study habits, my
friends really would never know
that I have a 4.0," she said. "I
just study to do the best I can, not
to be the best."
Theresa, does a lot more than
study, however. She works at the
years.
Karen also enjoys playing the
guitar. She has been playing
since she was two years old.
"I play mostly for my own en-
joyment, but sometimes I play for
my friends," Karen said.
She says she really values the
friendships she has made here at
lUP.
"Next to my education, my
friends are the most important
thing to me," she said.
Karen spent her last semester
at lUP doing her student teaching
in the second grade at the Uni-
versity School. Karen taught
math, history, science and
reading.
After leaving lUP, Karen
hopes to pursue her teaching ca-
reer in .Maryland.
Good luck, Karen, and congrat-
ulations. You've made quite an
achievement.

cafeteria; is a member of Campus
Crusade for Christ; is vice presi-
dent of Psi Chi, the honorary psy-
chology society; and does volun-
teer work at Grace United
!^ethodist Church.
Theresa transferred to lUP
from Messiah College in the fall
of 1986 for financial reasons. She
says lUP took a little getting used
to because the students here are
quite different from the ones at
Messiah. She says they're a lot
nicer here.
After graduation, Theresa
plans to move to North Dakota
and find work in the area of hu-
man services.
She says that she is drawn to
that field because she is a "peo-
ple person."
She's also a person with a lot
to be proud of. Good job, Theresa!

Cooperative Education: Welcome To
The Real World
"Truly a learning experience"
is hnw seniiii- Douglas Naiin de-
scribed his participation with the
Cooperative Education program
here at III'.
Doug, a safety science major
from Monroeville, Pa., found out
about coopeiati\e education from
the safety science faculty coordi-
nator, Robert .McClay Jr.
Cooperative education differs
from internship programs be-
cau.se it consists of at least two
periods of work experiences al-
ternating with classroom study, it
may be scheduled as early as a
student's sophomore year, and it
always consists of a paid position.
Doug completed three coopera-
tive work experiences during his
five years at UP.
His first work experience was
at an IB.M reseat ch and develop-
ment facility at Kingston, N.V..
during the summer of 198o. .At
IB.M, he and four safety engi-
neers tested computer software.
In the fall of 198(). Doug was
sent to another IBM facility in
Charlotte, \.C.
"The main focus at the manu-
facturing facility there was fire
and industrial hygiene, so it was
more of a hazardous place to
work. I did enjoy the area,
though, and I loved the climate,"
he said.
His final experience was com-
pleted last summer at the Occi-
dental Chemical Corporation in
Kenton, Ohio.
Doug said he found cooperative
education to be very beneficial
because it gave him some insight
into the working world.
"1 had the opportunity to see
how projects really worked," he
said. "I even worked on develop-
ing some projects of my own."
Doug feels that he developed
better people skills while on the
job.
'1 learned to interact well with
the people, especially the profes-
sionals," Doug explained. "I dis-
tinguished different levels of
communication among the vari-
ous le\els of workers, from man-
agement to the lowest level."
After graduation, Doug plans
to spend a year training with the
International Paper Company. He
will spend three months in Geor-
gia, three months in Tennessee
and another six months wherever
the company sends him.
Doug believes that cooperative
education helps students build
confidence and morale
"Students need to be some-
what mature in today's business
world. They must be willing to
accept responsibility, to take ini-
tiative and to back off when nec-
essary," he said.
Doug advised all safety science
majors to participate in coopera-
tive education.
"If not all students can experi-
ence it, I think safety science ma-
jors should. There is a lot of guid-
ance available, and they don't
expect you to work miracles.
"Overall, cooperative educa-
tion gave me a better knowledge
and understanding of my working
field and prepared me well for
job interviews," he said.

A Non-Traditional Success Story
They're e\eiy\vheie.
Non-traditional students. Older
students. Continuing education
students. Whatever you choose to
call them, they are a part of our
campus.
They are people who come
back to receive their college de-
grees after they've been out of
high school for a number of
years. They encounter the same
apprehensions, fears and joy that
any other student encounters.
They live, learn and gmw with us
and we with them.
Many of these adult students
venture to IIP from far away,
but very few come here from En-
gland. .Avril Barwick did. .And she
has shown what a non-traditional
student can do.
Avril moved to Indiana with
her husband, Roger, nine years
ago. They had oiiginall\ mo\ed
from England to Philadelphia to
follow Roger's job at Seasonall.
While in Philadelphia. .Avril
wrote theater reviews for three
newspapers. She based her re-
views on the 12 years of drama
experience she had gotten in En-
gland when she was involved
with a theater group. .Avril and
Roger eventually moved to Indi-
ana to follow Roger's job.
"I found myself in a university
town— so why not use if.'" .Avril
asked. She said hei- husband sug-
gested the idea because she
would have never thought of it.
She said he was and has always
been extremely supportive of her
college career.
Avril, 43, interned at the Indi-
ana Gazette in the fall and is now-
employed there full-time. She
said she enjoys her work very
much and loves to write.
"Ever since I did my theater
reviews, I knew I wanted to
write, so I went light to journal-
ism," she said. She said she had
investigated the possibilities of
going to school part-time or going
through the school of continuing
education, but decided to forget
those alternatives and go full-
time, "It wasn't like I didn't have
the time," Avril said.
Since her two sons, 15 and 16,
are at boarding schools in En-
gland, she had the time during
the day to go to school. "It
worked out great because when
they were at a school, 1 was at
school and when they were off, I
was off," she explained.
Even though she had the time
to go to classes, Avril still had to
keep her house in ordei-, her mar-
riage sound and her meals cooked
while she diligently studied. She
said it was hard to get back in the
habits of studying and reading. "I
don't remember ever completing
all the reading, but I made a good
stab at it," she said. She said she
had to reiearn how to study to
succeed. She learned this well.
Because of her commitment and
stamina, .Avril was named to the
Dean's List for six of her eight
f
¥
\ ^
1
■%
DoatMtcrk
semesters here. She said she en-
joyed her classes very much and
that made it easier to do well.
Avril will receive her bachelor
of arts degree in journalism this
May. She is excited to graduate,
as is every other senior.
But she, as an adult student,
can be especially proud. .Adult
students came back to a world
they left years earlier and had to
re-acquaint themselves with
school, students and book work.
Hats off to the adult seniors.
And congratulations, .Avril, for a
job well done.

Top: What about Dad? Right: "I see my
family. They're right there ..."
The day couldn't
have been more
perfect. Even the weather
was on our side as we
strode through the streets
of Indiana in our dispos-
able gowns, heading for
Miller Stadium and the big
event. Our four or more
years were soon to come to
somewhat of an anti-cli-
mactic conclusion amidst a
swarm of our peers.
The almost 2000 seniors
seemed somewhat disen-
chanted with speaker
George Gallup's laments
about the trials and steady
downfall of our society, as
they were anxiously wait-
ing for that grand moment
when they could flip their
tassels and become official
graduates.
Although seniors
wouldn't receive their actu-
al diplomas until weeks lat-
er in the mail, most stu-
dents moved on to the
somewhat more personal-
ized departmental
ceremonies.
Nothing but smiles were
found on the faces of par-
ents and graduates, and
generations gathered to
celebrate for one last time
before leaving their alma
mater.

An Editor's Laments: Of Goals, Crises And Thanks
'"'A Year in Motion." Little did
the 1988 OAK staff know when
we chose that theme just how
appropriate it would be. Even be-
fore the actual academic year be-
gan, things were off to a roaring
start.
At the end of the summer, the
OAK was moved from the spa-
cious office in Pratt basement to
the clustered confines of the
HUB. But with this more central-
ized location, life would become
much easier, with the commute
to the Penn being just down the
hall.
With visions of last year's late
book in my mind and sounds of
screaming ex-seniors in my ears,
the goal was set: to get the 1988
books out on time at any cost
(except the cost of quality.)
This goal, however, could not
be achieved without interruption.
And as you read through the
book, I'd like to relive some of the
times that made that goal almost
impossible.
The first barrier was a large
one. The OAK's adviser, Jim Dev-
lin, announced he was leaving
lUP to take on a new job in
Maine. The OAK was adviser-less
for about a month, and while we
should have been planning the
book, much time was spent inter-
viewing applicants for Jim's posi-
tion. The weeks went by, and the
search resulted in the hiring of
Deb Dursi. Although not very ex-
perienced in yearbooks. Deb was
anxious to learn, and with the
help of Quynh Luong, who han-
dled some of the OAK's business
matters. Deb was soon on her
way to exploring the wonderful
world of yearbooks.
Fall Semester was consumed
for the most part by waiting for
the 1987 OAK to come in. The
1987 books were finished the day
before Christmas break, and af-
ter a trip to State College, the
1987 book was practically history
and we began to concentrate on
the 1988 book.
Upon returning from winter
break, the OAK was equipped
with a new computer. Unfortu-
nately, it was a bit too late in the
year to start, but it was another
step in our year of motion. The
book was now moving in full
swing, and it was coming togeth-
er great. The next problem was
also rather large: Quynh graduat-
ed, and Bob Lepley, our assistant
business manager, was leaving
5
for an internship. The business
duties were now on my shoulders,
but with the help of Deb, they
were taken care of.
The final blow in the year of
crises affected the staff the most.
A committee decided that OAk
section editors, who received less
than minimal compensation for
long hours of work, would not be
getting paid beginning next year.
The laments could probably
continue, but the finished prod-
uct is the main concern. Whle
looking at the book, it is some-
what amazing that we were able
to produce such a high-quality
product, and each staff member
contributed their own special
flair to make each section a
highlight.
First was Amy, the only sec-
tion editor to come close to meet-
ing a deadline. Pattie, although
inexperienced, became a perma-
nent fixture at sports informa-
tion, and always came through
(even without any candids). Can-
dids were also the key word for
Greeks, and sometimes it felt like
that section would never go any-
where, but it turned out to be the
best Greek section ever.
Taking on a new look was the
academics section, and Carl "12
artworks" Eakin, after many
late-night marathons and much
berating from me, put out the
best academics section the OAK
has ever had.
Chris, Susan, Veronica, Robin,
were wonderful assets to the
staff, and if it weren't for Stacey,
the saviour of organizations, I'd
probably still be working on that
section now. And we all owe
thanks to Doug and Joy for tak-
ing all of these last-minute
photos.
Finally, a word of thanks to
Larry Intihar, whose guidance
and story-of-the-month were al-
ways welcomed and much need-
ed, and everyone at Davor —
Gemma, Esther, Abe, Tim and
Pam. They've finally learned the
meaning of the world "Rush" and
we took advantage of it!
Now that the motion has died
down, the last words of the 1988
book are now being put to
paper, and we met our goal, we
know it was all worth it, and we
hope you'll agree. Enjoy!
