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

"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.

The  Fear  Of  The  Unknown 


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: 
Break-dance  and  gymnastics 
wer'e  prevalent,  with  one  fea- 
tured r-oller-skating  routine. 

April  br-()ught  Wynton  Marsalis 
to  Fisher-  Auditorium.  Marsalis 
led  his  jazz  quintet  through  two 
and  one-half  hours  of  the  hottest 
jazz  Indiana  has  seen  inyears. 

After-  playing  such  favorites  as 
George  Gershwin's  "Embraceable 
You,"  John  Coltr-ane's  "Miles 
Mode,"  and  ll'P's  fight  song 
"Cher-okee,"  .Mar-salis  accented 
the  night  with  his  own  "J  Mood" 
(the  title  track  from  his  latest 
album,  "Blac-k  Codes  fr-om  The 
I'ndergr-ound"),  drum  feature 
"Down  Home  with  Homey,"  and 
the  1940s  showtune  "Autumn 
Leaves." 

As  usual,  the  entertainment 
provided  this  year-  was  outstand- 
ing. Those  who  had  season  passes 
know  their  money  was  well- 
spent.

"Mr.  lUP  VIII  Is 


99 


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.

Every  year,  approximate- 
ly ten  girls  strenuously 
prepare  their  minds  and 
their  bodies  for  an  event  they 
will  remember  the  rest  of  their 
lives.  They  are  dancers,  singers, 
and  ordinary  people  like  you  and 
me.  And  only  one  will  receive  the 
honor  of  being  Miss  lUP. 

It  was  a  night  of  excitement 
and  entertainment  for  all  as  10 
women  competed  for  the  title  of 
Miss  lUP  1988  on  Feb.  6.  in  Fisher 
Auditorium. 

.And  the  winner  was  .  .  .  Kim

Greensburg.  She  is  the  daughter 
of  Dale  and  Barbara  Craft.  .A  hu-

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. 

Second  runner-up  was  Tania 
Shields,  who  won  the  Miss  Conge- 
niality award.  Shields,  a  junior 
elementary  education  Spanish 
major  from  Pittsburgh  performed 
a  gospel  tune,  "He  Won't  Leave 


You"  by  Richard  Smallwood. 
Shields,  once  a  member  of  a  gos- 
pel choir,  sang  background  on 
Foreigner's  "I  Want  to  Know 
What  Love  Is." 

Also  in  the  running  were  Ni- 
cole Seon  and  Angela  Goss.  Seon, 
who  performed  a  scene  from  the 
play  "For  Colored  Girls  Who 
Thought  about  Committing  Sui- 
cide When  the  Rainbow  Ain't 
Enuf,"  is  a  sophomore  hotel/res- 
taurant management  major  from 
Philadelphia. 

Goss,  a  freshman  biology  ma- 
jor from  Philadelphia,  performed 
a  poem  "For  .My  People"  by  Mar- 
garet Walker. 

Although  there  were  only  five 
contestants,  the  Miss  Black  lUP 
pageant  had  all  the  charm  and 
sophistication  of  Miss  America. 

Hosted  by  .Master  of  Ceremo- 
nies Tony  Brock,  the  pageant  got 
under  way  with  contestants  mod- 
eling sportswear  followed  by  mu- 
sical entertainment  by  the  band, 
which  performed  throughout  the 
show. 

Highlights  of  the  pageant  were 
the  group  dance,  performed  by 
the  contestants  to  "I  Want  Her" 


by  Keith  Sweat,  and  the  evening 
attire  competition,  where  the  la- 
dies were  escorted  on  stage  and 
presented  with  flowers.  The 
swimweai-  competition  also 
turned  a  few  heads.  During  the 
question/answer  period.  Gotten 
responded  to  a  difficult  question. 
When  asked  which  comes  first  in 
her  life,  money,  family  or  God, 
Gotten  said  God  and  family  come 
first  before  money  because  with- 
out the  first  two  items  she  would 
have  never  made  it  wheie  she  is 
today. 

To  top  the  evening.  Miss  Black 
IL'P  1987  Tonji  Good  gave  her  last 
words  and  performed  a  solo  on 
the  saxophone  befoie  giving  up 
her  crown.      * 

As  Miss  Black  lUP,  Gotten  will 
be  responsible  for  upholding  her 
crown  and  being  a  positive  role 
model  to  the  community  and  the 
student  body,  .^long  with  first 
runner-up  Thompson  and  second 
runner-up  Shields,  Gotten  will  be- 
gin a  scholarship  fund  for  the 
winner  of  next  year's  pageant.

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!

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

"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?

SEPTEMBER 


National 

Pope  John  Paul  II  planned  a  ten-day 
tour  of  nine  cities  along  the  sunbelt.  His 
tour  was  one  of  the  most  heavily  guarded 
visits  with  protection  everywhere  along 
the  route. 

Nationally,  the  federal  courts  barred  an 
abortion  law-  requiring  minors  to  notify 
parents  or  obtain  a  couit's  peimission  be- 
fore having  an  abortion,  stating  that  it  is 
an  unconstitutional  violation  of  a  juve- 
nile's right  to  anonymity. 

The  National  Football  League  set  its 
strike  date  for  Sept.  22  if  negotiations 
couldn't  be  reached  with  the  owners. 

Due  to  the  recent  .AIDS  scare,  many 
college  campuses  have  now  added  condoms 
to  the  other  items  that  can  be  bought  in 
the  local  vending  machines.  Sponsors  of 
the  condoms  in  the  vending  machines  say 
that  the  machines  provide  anonymous, 
convenient  24-hour  access  to  the  condoms 
because  many  of  the  sexual  encounters 
are  unplanned  and  spontaneous.

The  search  still  continued  for  the 
arsonist  suspected  of  setting  fires 
which  plagued  the  Indiana  area  during 
spring  and  summer. 

Sept.  17  marked  200  years  after  the 
signing  of  the  constitution  and  Indiana 
celebrated.  Some  of  the  festivities  in- 
cluded a  Liberty  Pageant,  a  walking 
tour  and  a  parade. 

State  law  enforcement  agencies  were 
cracking  down  on  usage  of  fake  IDs. 
.Ma.ximum  penalties  for  the  forging  of 
IDs  is  10  years  imprisonment  and/or  a 
$25,000  fine.  The  maximum  penalty  for 


tampering  with  records  is  five  years  in  jail 
and/or  a  510,000  fine.  Many  fake  IDs  were 
discovered  on  the  IL'P  campus  and  those  in- 
volved were  apprehended  and  charged. 


lUP 


Septembei'  biought  new  advances  to  IL'P 
with  the  new  phone  registration.  Approxi- 
mately 2,500  Il'P  students  were  randomly 
picked  to  participate  in  a  trial  run  of  the  new 
process.  Renovations  flourished  all  over  the 
campus.  A  larger  parking  lot  beside  the  HUB 
was  built  to  accomodate  commuting  students 
and  faculty,  and  additional  landscaping  and 
other  corrective  work  was  done.  .Also,  a  50-car 
parking  lot  was  built  near  Whitmyre  Hall. 

lUP  welcomed  three  distinguished  men  to 
its  campus.  The  Rev.  Ralph  Abernathy,  long- 
time friend  and  associate  of  the  late  Dr.  Mar- 
tin Luther  King  Jr.;  William  F.  Buckley  Jr., 
television  personality,  columnist  and  author: 
and  Ben  Vereen,  actor,  singer  and  dancer.

During  October  there  seemed  to  be  some 
"earthshaking"  events.  An  aftershock  follow- 
ing an  eaithquake  in  Los  Angeles  measured 
fi.l  on  the  Richter  scale.  It  caused  six  deaths 
and  more  than  $108  million  in  damage. 

The  stock  market  saw  another  Black  Mon- 
day with  the  loss  of  oOS  puints  and  a  record

In  sports,  the  NFL  players  returned  after  a 
twenty-four  day  absence  but  not  in  time  to 
play  and  get  paid  for  the  game  following  their 
return,  and  the  Minnesota  Twins,  beating  the

Octobei'  is  always  a  special  month  at  IIP. 
Homecoming  was  celebrated  the  weekend  of 
the  9  through  the  11.  There  was  an  estimated 
crowd  of  130,000  to  35,000  at  the  pai'ade  to  see 
the  floats  which  took  a  lot  of  time  and  effort. 

lUP  was  displayed  in  issues  of  TIME  and 
Newsweek  for  an  advertising  initiative  to 
maintain  a  competiti\e  edge  with  other 
schools. 

There  was  also  much  entertainment  on 
campus  and  in  surrounding  aieas.  The  Out- 
field performed  at  Fisher  Auditorium  to  a 
large  crowd.  The  Black  Cultural  Center  spon- 
sored two  female  speakers,  Jacqueline  Flem- 
ing, who  spoke  on  "Blacks  in  College,"  and 
Susan  Taylor  whose  topic  was  "Be  the  Best

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 
and  allow  only  juniors  and  seniors  to  be 
eligible  for  Guaranteed  Student  Loans. 
The  reason  behind  this  was  to  minimize 
student  loan  defaults  and  to  help  low-in- 
come students  finance  college. 

Supreme  Court  nominee  Douglas  Gins- 
burg  admitted  that  he  had  used  marijuana

Since  the  recent  development 
of  AIDS  on  campus,  the  universi- 
ty feels  that  coordinating  educa- 
tion about  it,  to  inform  all  aspects 
of  campus  life,  is  important.  A 
committee  which  was  formed  by 
recommendation  of  the  lUP  Task 
Force  on  AIDS,  was  made  up  of 


fifteen  members.  Members  include  students, 
faculty  and  health  care  experts.  The  commit- 
tee met  foi'  the  first  time  in  October. 

The  university  has  implemented  a  program

.Another  impressive  step  was  the  develop-

Also  UP  approved  a  new  policy  that

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- 
vich.  is  a  Polish-.American  and  a 
member  of  the  Jets,  a  white 
street  gang.  His  best  friend  Riff, 
played  by  Greg  Rapp.  is  the 
gang's  leader. 

.Maria  (Robin  Biega)  is  Puerto 
Rican,  and  her  brother  Bernardo 
is  the  leader  of  the  Sharks,  a 
Puerto  Rican  gang.  .Maria  is  sup- 
posed to  marry  one  of  the  Sharks, 
but  falls  in  love  with  Tony. 

The  two  gangs,  constant  ene- 
mies, have  their  biggest  rumbles 
over  Tony  and  Maria,  and  Riff 
and  Bernardo  are  both  killed.  Ma- 
ria forgives  Tony  for  her  broth-

The  production  was  directed 
by  Malcolm  Bowes,  chairman  of 
the  theater  department.  The  ren- 
ovation of  Waller  and  the  prob- 
lems it  created  didn't  get  in  the 
way  of  any  of  the  talented  people 
who  brought  the  musical  to  life

Music  fans  of  the  Indiana  com-

concert  events  during  the  year. 

In  October,  The  Outfield 
played  to  a  capacity  crowd  at 
Fisher  Auditorium.  The  band 
played  hits  from  their  platinum 
album  "Play  Deep"  and  their 
newest  release,  "Bangin',"  includ- 
ing sings  "Since  You've  Been 
Gone,"  "All  the  Love  in  the 
World,"  and  "I  Don't  Want  to 
Lose  your  Love." 

March  brought  the  Top  40 
Rock  sound  of  Squeeze  to  Fisher, 
and  another  full  house.  The 
band's  faithful  followers  as  well 
as  newer  fans  were  treated  to  old 
standards  such  as  "Tempted," 
and  "Black  Coffee  in  Bed."  The 
concert  was  also  a  showcase  for 
the  band's  new  album  "Babylon 
and  On,"  featuring  songs  like 
"Hourglass"  and  "Tough  Love."

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

Shawn  Puller  and  Jim  Jolly, 
thrilled   audiences   with   such

patriotic  spirit  of  the  season's 
events,  ".America  the  Beautiful

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."

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

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 
at  Punx.sy.  Tomera  said  he  spends  a  lot 
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 
atmosphere  of  college  life

ROTC  lab

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: 
ROTC  provides  the  opportunity  to  practice  public  speaking  skills  by  giving 
all  cadets  the  chance  to  teach.  Below:  Rappeling  is  one  of  the  biggest  events 
of  the  year  for  students  in  ROTC.  Here  a  cadet  is  about  to  go  down  a

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.

game  lUP  beat  Kutztown  35-12. 
Tony  Trave,  the  PC  West  Player 
of  the  Week,  scored  three  touch- 
downs to  set  team  records  in  ca- 
reer touchdowns,  yards  and 
touchdowns  in  a  season. 

A  rematch  at  West  Chester  for 
the  state  title  ended  in  a  21-9 
victory  for  the  Indians.  This  win 
made  lUP  the  only  Division  II

'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.

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-

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.

Dream  Come  True  For  Runner 


Senior  Elisa  "Weezie"  Benzoni, 
as  she  is  bettei-  known  since  ac- 
quiring the  nickname  during  her 
childhood,  is  from  Victoria,  NV. 
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. 

St.  Francis  fell  next  to  the  In- 
dians 2096  to  1893.  Pribicko  and 
Milavec  once  again  led  all  shoot- 
ers with  538  and  555. 

The  Indians  faced  Canisius  for 
a  third  time  along  with  St.  Fran- 
cis and  Duquesne.  Canisius  won 
the  match  with  2084  points  with 
lUP  right  behind  with  2083.  Du- 
quesne was  next  with  1938  and 
St.  Francis  finished  with  1831. 

IL'P  defeated  Washington  and 
Jefferson  1970  to  992. 

In  February  the  team  travelled 
to  the  National  Rifle  Association 
Sectionals  held  at  the  U.S.  Naval 
Academy  at  .\nnapolis,  Md.  They 
came  awav  with  third  in  the  sec-

tionals.  The  top  10  teams  in  the 
nation  go  to  the  NCAA  national 
competition.  IL'P  was  ranked 
23rd. 

"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 
senior.  Matt  Salerno,  but  will 
have  two  freshmen  and  five 
sophomores  to  form  a  base  for 
next  year.

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-

and  Chrissy  Zack,  and  Jody  Wire-

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 


Top  rinht: CoAch  Beck.  ff;^/)(;  T(idd  John 
Mike  Matthews  and  .Marvin  Morris  ra 
for  Beck  this  season. 


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.

Sutton  Retires  After  20  Years 


The  hisldiy  of  the  man  who 
dedicated  two  decades  to  coach- 
ing men's  cfoss  country  and  track 
and  field,  and  who  in  turn  be- 
came one  of  Division  II's  most 
successful  coaches,  is  displayed 
in  a  1(1  X  (i  foot  room  in  Zink  Hall, 

The  name  placed  outside  the 
door  reads  l.ou  Sutton.  Inside  re- 
clines a  man  who  recently  relin- 
quished his  head  coaching  posi- 
tion to  colleague  Kd  Fry. 
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

consistently  at  second  base.  Bill 
Laubach,  centerfielder  who  was

aged the  most  hits  and  RBl's,  the

also  the  most  doubles,  triples  and

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.

Golfers  Face  Inexperience 


Althiiugh  il  appealed  tu  tie  a 
insing  season  foi-  the  I  LP  men's 
Hiilf  team,  nothinj;  could  he  fur- 
ther from  the  truth. 

IL'P's  second-year  coach  Don 
White  came  into  this  season 
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 
finish  at  the  NCAA  Division  II 
National  Championships  in  Ev- 
ansville.  In. 

Coach  Frank  Cignetti's  PSAC 
Championship  football  team  in- 
cluded Ail-American  seniors 
Tony  Trave  and  Troy  Jackson. 
"I'm  just  very  appreciative  to 
have  had  the  opportunity  to  be 
their  coach,"  said  Cignetti. 

A  great  portion  of  the  special 
dinner  was  given  to  Dan  Kendig's 
gymnasts,  whose  record-breaking 
season  was  highlighted  by  their 

Soccer  coach  Vince  Celtnieks  congratu- 
lates senior  Todd  Hammond. 


fifth  straight  PSAC  champion- 
ship in  which  they  broke  every 
school  record. 

"Each  time  we  went  out,  it 
seemed  like  another  recoi'd  went 
down."  Kendig  said. 

The  team  then  went  on  to  win 
the  Division  II  National  Champi- 
onship and  took  third  place  at  the 
Division  I  National  Champion- 
ships at  Penn  State. 

Team  members  honored  for  in-

ored were  Gina  Cover,   Monica 


Grote,  Rose  Johnson,  Tonya  Kus- 
taborder,  Suzanne  Oaklander, 
Mandi  Petruska,  Jenn  Phelan 
and  Susan  Wahl.

Schneider,  who  placed  seventh  in 
the  triple  jump  at  the  NCAA  Divi- 
sion II  meet  last  May:  Dave  Mau- 
die,  who  won  the  javelin  throw  in 
the  same  competition;  and  Jeff 
Neral,  who  placed  sixth  in  the 
javelin  at  the  meet.  Senior  Eu- 
gene Dellemonache  ranked  third 
at  the  national  championships  in 
the  shotput. 

"Eugene  worked  harder  than 
any  athlete  I've  ever  seen,"  said 
coach  Jim  Wooding. 

.Also  honored  were  field  hock- 


ey members  Tracy  Bower,  Rebec- 
ca Joyce  and  Diana  Reinhard, 
and  soccer  team  forward  Todd 
Hammond,  lUP's  leading  scorer, 
who  won  his  second  straight  .All- 
.American  status. 

"Our  society  cannot  work  un- 
less we  have  people  who  commit 
themselves  to  being  the  best  they 
can  be,"  said  Il'P  President  John 
Welty  in  his  address  to  the  ath- 
letes. "That  they  continue  to  per- 
sist and  do  the  best  they  can  is  a 
real  tribute  to  each  one  of  them. 

"You  have  a  long  way  to  go. 
You  have  that  responsibility  .  .  . 
to  continue  to  be  the  very  best 
that  you  can  be,"  Welty  said.

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."

to  become  involved.  For  the  business- 
minded,  there  are  accounting  and  mar- 
keting clubs.  Professional  and  honorary 
fraternities  allow  students  to  make  con- 
tacts and  learn  more  about  their  profes- 
sions as  they  get  one  step  closer  to 
entering  the  "real"  world.  Other  clubs 
take  the  form  of  sports  such  as  the 
___^^^^^_  hockey  club  or  rugby 
club.  Hands-on,  pre- 
professional  experi- 
ence is  available  ath- 
rough  student  publi- 
cations and  student 
government  organi- 
zations. These  clubs 
and  groups  give  stu-

meet  other  students 
with  common  inter- 
^^___^^^^_  ests,  as  well  as  the 
chance  to  exchange 
ideas  and  career  goals.  Some  clubs  set 
up  symposiums  and  workshops  where 
its  members  can  learn  interviewing  pro- 
cesses and  job-hunting  techniques.  Be- 
cause they  are  recognized  by  the  uni- 
versity and  follow  a  drawn  constitution, 
these  organizations  are  able  to  use  uni- 
versity facilities  for  their  functions  and 
events.  The  requirements  for  minimum 
membership  in  clubs  is  under  review, 
but  the  existing  clubs  at  lUP  enable 
students  from  practically  every  interest 
to  become  involved.

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.

Preparing  Teachers 


The  Student  Pennsylvania 
State  Education  Association 
(PSEA)  is  a  campus  organization 
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.

SGA  Works  For  You 


The  Student  Government  Asso- 
ciation is  the  officially  recognized 
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

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.

Francis  College  and  the  opening 
of  the  University  Museum  in  Sut- 
ton Hall. 

The  Concert  Dance  Co.  was 
formed  in  1968  and  now  accom- 
modates over  100  members,  male 
and  female,  who  spend  anywhere 
from  10  to  30  hours  a  week  in  the 


Dodg  Macek 


dance  studio.  Beginner,  interme- 
diate and  advanced  groups  are 
offered. 

"It  helps  you  tone  your  body, 
but  the  social  aspects  are  good 
too,"  dancer  Julie  Sypult  said. 

The  physical  aspects  of  the 
workout  and  satisfaction  gained 
by  performance  are  offset  by  the 
organization's  social  aspect.  The 
group  holds  a  formal  each  year 
and  attends  fraternity  mixers. 

Academics  are  stressed 
through  a  memorial  scholarship 
offered  each  year  to  a  sophomore 
concert  dancer.

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 
Syndrome,  which  is  a  neurologi- 
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. 
Each  hour  all  closed  class  sec- 
tions were  aired. 

"The  knowledge  I've  gained  at 
\V1UP-T\'  is  comparable  to  noth- 
ing else  I've  done  in  my  life." 
member  Michele  Howell  said.

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."

Group  Fashions 
Shows  For 


j  Area  Groups 


The  lUP  Fashion  Group  was 
formed  three  years  ago  and  has 
grown  to  include  TO  memheis. 

The  club  helps  consumer  ser- 
vices department  students  devel- 
op fashion  knowledge  and  leader- 
ship skills. 

"The  idea  for  the  lUP  Fashion 


Doug  Matvk 


Group  was  inspired  by  the  origi- 
nal Fashion  Group  based  in  New 
York,"  ['resident  I'etrina  DeN'illo 
said. 

Guest  speakers,  fundraisers, 
fashion  shows  and  a  formal  are 
all  part  of  the  group's  activities 
this  year.  The  H'P  Fashion  Group 
has  coordinated  shows  foi'  both 
Regency  and  Indiana  malls,  the 
1987  Homecoming  alumni  and  the 
university.  This  year's  theme  was 
"Colors  Gone  Wild." 

Vice  President  Leslie  Novak 
said:  "These  fashion  shows  help 
fashion  merchandising  and  inte- 
rior designs  majors  learn  how  to 
put  together  a  professional  fash- 
ion show.  It's  also  a  lot  of  fun."

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."

SMA  Makes  Contacts 


Photos  b>  Jo>  Koob 


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.

KOPhis  Teach 
Local  Adults 


Kappa  Omicron  Phi  (KOPhi),  a  home  eco- 
nomics organization,  was  created  to  empha- 
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."

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.

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."

Alpha  Gamma  Delta: 
"More  Than  Just  A  Social 

Club  ..." 


The  Alpha  Sigma  Chapter  of 
Alpha  Gamma  Delta  was  founded 
on  campus  on  December  15,  1959. 
The  sisterhood  consists  of  65 
members  and  numerous  alumnae 
who  celebrate  the  present  and  fu- 
ture of  progressive  leadership, 
service,  and  self-development  of- 
fered by  the  organization. 

The  Alpha  Gams  take  pride  in 
their  red  and  buff  roses  and  col- 
ors, which  are  red,  buff,  and 
green.  Their  mascot  is  the  squir- 
rel. The  Fall  1987  sweetheart  is 
Delta  Tau  Delta  brother  Steve 
Seifried. 

Each  semester,  the  sisters  of 


AGD  have  a  busy  social  schedule 
including  a  formal,  date  parties, 
mixers  and  individual  chapter 
programs.  In  the  fall,  they  host 
the  annual  Mr.  lUP  pageant 
which  earned  over  $2,000  for  Ju- 
venile Diabetes  and  the  Interna- 
tional Founders  Memorial 
Foundation. 

Delta  Gamma's  Anchor 
Clanker,  homecoming,  Greek 
Week,  Sigma  Chi  Derby  Days,  and 
a  variety  of  other  fraternity  and 
sorority  sponsored  projects  are 
included  as  AGD  activities.  The 
AGD  sisters  also  won  Kappa  Sig- 
ma's    powdei-puff    football 


championship. 

The  members  of  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  take  pride  in  winning  the 
Mary  Stella  Wolfe  award  for  Out- 
standing Sorority  for  the  past 
five  years. 

"Alpha  Gamma  Delta  is  more 
than  just  a  social  club;  it's  a  net- 
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.

Phi  Mu  Helps 
Project  H.O.P.E. 


Phi  Mu  was  founded  at  Wes- 
leyan  College  in  Macon,  Ga.,  on 
January  4,  1852.  The  IL'P  Chapter 
was  formed  in  1950,  one  of  five

countries.  The  sorority  also  con- 
tributes to  the  Children's  Miracle 
Network. 

Phi  Mus  raised  money  for 
these  organizations  by  selling

Mu  sister's  motto  is  "Les  Soeurs 
Fideles,"  meaning  the  faithful 
sisters.

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  teddy  bear  is  their  mascot, 
and  their  symbol  is  the  quill.

Delta  Zeta  Promotes  Unity 


lUP's  chapter  of  Delta  Zeta 
has  been  on  campus  since  1952. 
and  currently  has  65  members. 

The  sisters  of  Delta  Zeta  par- 
ticipated in  various  events  during 
the  year,  including  Greek  Week, 
powder  puff  football.  Derby  Days, 
and  homecoming.  Their  float, 
which  they  created  with  Phi  Del- 
ta Theta.  won  third  place  in  the 
homecoming  parade  this  year. 

Delta  Zeta's  philanthropy  is 
Aid  to  the  Hearing  Impaired,  and 


this  year,  the  chapter  sold  ba- 
loons  in  order  to  raise  money. 
Their  colors  are  rose  and  green, 
and  their  flower  is  a  calarny  rose. 
Their  symbol  is  a  golden  lamp 
and  their  mascot  is  a  turtle.  Dee 
Zees  fall  1987  sweetheart  was  Phi 
Delt  Tim  Bukowski.  who  along 
with  DZ  Laurel  Pagoda,  were  this 
year's  Homecoming  King  and 
Queen. 

"Delta  Zeta  has  worked  hard 
to  promote  Greek  unity  and  it's 


been  very  exciting  tu  be  a  part  of 
the  Greek  system."  said  DZ  mem- 
ber Tanya  Lowes. 

"There  has  been  an  incredible 
amount  of  participation  in  the  ac- 
tivities planned  for  Greeks  than 
there  has  been  in  the  past,  and 
we're  proud  that  we're  right 
there  to  be  able  to  join  in  the 
fun."

KAPPA 


GAMMA 


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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!
