As students at Clarion Uni- versity, we see ourselves in many different v^ays. These different perceptions of ourselves, these images, shape the way we live and act. We are many people at once. We are students, striving for that degree. We are friends, caring for and sharing with the people we have met here at school. We are children, trying to break free from the protec- tion Mom and Dad have given us for so many years. We are adults, functioning in the adult world we see around us. Confusing? Yes, but also exhilarating. We bring these images of our- selves to Clarion. As others shape and mold our per- sons, we in turn shape and mold others. It's all part of the Clarion experience.

Images of '86— what do these words mean to you? Perhaps they mean memo- ries of another year here at Clarion — snapshots in the pages of our minds. They are memories of that great game; that gorgeous guy or girl you scoped out in the cafeteria or in class; those snowy, icy mornings not fit for man nor beast, when you went to class anyway; the friends made, and friends lost; meeting Mr. or Ms. Right; the day you stopped on your way home from class and really no- ticed those beautiful au- tumn leaves; getting the A you never thought you'd get; saying goodbye to friends you'll never forget.

During the school year it's easy to get caught up in studies, money problems, or whatever, but when you look back, aren't you glad you had the chance to make those memories, those images?

Forest Manor And Step On

here is a new crowd forming in the Wood Street entrance of Corlson Library. As one, the crowd's gaze rests on some point in the distance. Soon it becomes appar- ent that the object they are awaiting has arrived.

And there it stands! The savior to those residents of Forest Manor and College Park who are too weary to make the trek to their classes and dwellings — the University Shuttle Bus!! The University Shuttle Bus began its runs in the spring of 1985. Its obvious success has assured the continuation of the service for many years to come. The service is free to dorm students and, for $10 per semester, those stu- dents who live off campus can also hitch a ride. The University has the con- tract with County Trails, who provides the bus and driver.

On The Road Again

Cheryl Emmert

Stopping tor money is o necessity be- fore hitting 1-80, as Tim Fatiey knows.

id you ever sit with a group of friends and wish that you all could be somewhere else?

Traveling to another college may be just the answer that you're lool<ing for. It's called ROADTRIPPING!

If you're like most students, a road trip means a lot of new friends and adventures. Here are a few sugges- tions of where to go and what to do upon reaching your destination.

WHEN TO PLAN; Don't plan anything,

spontaneity is the key. The best time

to go is when you and a group of

friends are at The Roost or sitting in a

dorm lounge watching Wheel of

Fortune.

WHAT TO TAKE: As much money as

possible, pliers for road signs, a couple

of quarters for phone calls, and a case

or two of beer to drink once you reach

your destination.

WHAT NOT TO TAKE: Books to study,

your roommate who has a test on

Monday, a greek or university shirt

which can identify you.

WHAT TO DRIVE: Your roommate's

beat-up Chevy Impalo with a full tank

of gas.

WHAT NOT TO DRIVE: Your father's

Cadillac that you borrowed for the

formal.

WHERE TO GO: Anywhere a full tank of

gas will take you.

WHERE NOT TO GO: Anywhere that

someone might know you or your

parents.

WHERE TO STAY: On the floor with five

other people or in your roommate's

car.

WHERE NOT TO STAY: In the all-girls' or

all-guys dorm or on the front lawn of

the president's home.

WHEN YOU REACH YOUR DESTINATION:

Eat, drink, party, and be foolish college

students. After you've completed your

mission and you're back in Clarion,

make sure you and your friends get

together for a picture with the road

sign of your latest destination!

-Barbara Pelkingfon

Everybody's Doing It!

larion, although not a trend- setting town, has 5000-plus students from many different places where trends do begin. Be- sides the start of new classes, the fall semester also brings to Clarion the latest trends in movies, music, and clothing.

This year in music, concert-goers were keeping a close eye on the comeback trail of Tina Turner. Not only did she impress everyone with her musical talent, she gave a whole new meaning to being over 40. By strutting her stuff on M-TV it was obvious that more than her voice was selling albums.

Another woman "desperately seeking" her way to the top of the charts was Madonna. This belly-bar- ing beauty, adorned in a wedding dress and screaming, "Will you mar- ry me?", rocked thousands during her Virgin Tour.

If words like "dynamic," "patriot- ic," and "the boy next door" come to mind, it's obvious you have seen or heard the guy who put New Jer- sey on the map — Bruce Spring- steen I At a time when America needed a boost, Bruce was there to pick everyone up with songs about hometowns and being "Born in the U.S.A." He gave us all what we needed — a shot of pride.

If, upon returning to Clarion for the fall semester, you thought you were in sunny California, it wouldn't be surprising, because more than half of the student population was decked out in Jams. These brightly colored beach bum shorts brought a little bit of the West Coast to western PA.

With the other half of the student population left, it wasn't surprising to see evidence of other trends that were big in the nation and on cam- pus. These other trends included "Miami Vice," "Rambo," "The Cosby Show," pro wrestling. Ma- donna bows, and anything with a paisley print on it.

So thirty or forty years from now when our grandchildren ask us about all the "crazy" things we wore, watched, and listened to, our only reply can be, "Sit up and straighten the 'trendy' paisley tie your grandfather got you for ChristmasI"

Something For Everyone

Ithough Riemer Center pro- vides games, an expanded student store, new comput- ers, typewriters, and a wide-screen TV, it's more than just a center for recreation. Clarion University's Riemer Center is one of tlie most important buildings on campus be- cause of the services it provides for student life. Within Riemer is the tick- et-purchasing and checl<-cashing office for all students. In addition to the student directories and the handbook calendars printed here, Riemer also provides the posters for campus events, ideas for fund rais- ers, custom-made buttons, and the use of a photo copier for students. Because supplying the campus with services and activities is Riemer's major function. Center Board, Clarion University's main ac- tivity organizer, is housed here. Cen- ter Board's efforts to provide a vari- ety of movies, special lectures, concerts, and other activities are devoted entirely to offering the stu- dents enjoyable pastimes during their semesters at Clarion.

Clarion's Quirks

larion University, for all its ac- tivities and academia, has within it a deep, dark secret: a ghost.

That's right. Near the corner of Eighth Avenue and Wood Street, the Chapel Theatre is steeped in the legend of a frustrated playwright who hanged himself from the very rafters still seen within the building today. While these facts are held to be true, legend further states that his spirit remains within the Chapel. Students often feel they are being watched when sitting in the Chapel. While sitting alone, that is . . .

Another, though not so macabre, legend exists just across the street. Nestled within a cluster of shrubbery sits the "Kissing Bench." As one leg- end surrounding this concrete bench has it, if a man and a woman hear bells while sitting on the bench, the two are destined for marriage. A similar, yet not so permanent, leg- end reads that if a couple sits on the bench and the man kisses the wom- an, the relationship is doomed for failure. However, if the woman kisses the man, the relationship will last. Keep all of this in mind when near Eighth Avenue and Wood Street.

Meanwhile, if someone asks you to meet him or her across campus by the Grasshopper, don't be alarmed. He or she is speaking of one of two huge, three-dimensional modern art sculptures. The Grass- hopper, as it is called, is located roughly between Tippin Gymnasium and Reimer Center. The other sculp- ture, lovingly called the Praying Mantis, is located nearby along the same pathway. Are these sculp- tures art? Some soy yes, while oth- ers have said, '"They paid some guy thousands of dollars to put this junk on m/ campus?"

A tradition ot students is to spend spring af- ternoons at Cook Forest and enjoy the sun.

The trestle has always been a popular place to unwind during the school year.

For many ALF weekends, antique cars have filled Main Street.

Founders Hall is, by far, the most distinctive building on the C.U.P. campus.

Dear Mom And Dad

ife in the dorm is . . . different. After you left and I finished moving in, I found out that my roommate is an avid collector. That's right, my rommmate collects machetes. The doctor said I was lucky I only needed 20 stitches. You'll be getting the bill.

Other than that, everything is fine. I went to do my laundry for the first time a few days ago. The funniest thing happened! When I came back to the laundry room to put my clothes in the dryer, I found no clothes to put in! Either they got sto- len, or the machine shredded them into such tiny pieces that they rinsed right through those little holes inside. I opted for the latter. So I did the only logical thing. I went downtown and bought myself a whole new wardrobe. You'll be getting the bill.

Guess what? The food at Chan- dler is, well, kind of . . . caustic. See, I went to lunch the other day and got tomato soup. As I placed the bowl on the table, some of the soup splashed onto my brand new books. Lo and behold, the soup ate right through them! Boy, this college life sure takes some getting used to! Oh yeah, I had to get all new books, and you'll be getting the bill.

All in all, I'm having a great time and am adjusting well. I'll be writing again soon — bet you can't wait! I miss you very much!

Love,

P.S.: Send money!

ql oy, this off-campus living is a lot : better than dorm life ever was! "II I can do whatever I want, whenever I want! For example, we had our very first real-life college party this past weekend, and tons of people showed up! It went great — only seven windows got kicked in!

Speaking of the party, you'll never believe what happened! When we got up the next morning to survey the damage, we found this guy fast asleep on our couch! It seems he can't remember where he come from, so he's staying with us for a while. You'd like him. Mom — he's great about doing the dishes. His name is Spike . . .

We had to take one of our room- mates to the doctor yesterday. You see, her skin was turning this really weird shade of orange. The doctor said he'd never believed it if he hadn't seen it — he said she's turning into mac- aroni and cheese! Gotta be honest with you. Mom, I never believed you all these years, but now I know something like this can really happen!

Other than that, things are great, classes are boring, and I love you both! I'll write again soon.

Love,

Your off-campus college student P.S.: Send food!

Clarion's Hot Spots

he Big 21 — it's finally here, the age we've all been waiting for. Weeks before that magical birthday, visions of 25c drafts and "three-for-one" specials dance through our Roost-bound minds. You've heard the stories, you've read the ads, and now it's time to experience it for yourself — Clarion's nightlife. So for all of you who are in the mood to flash that ID, here is a quick summary of Clarion's best watering holes.

THE LOOMIS: The Loomis is perhaps best known for its calm, sedate at- mosphere. It's the place to be when carrying on a conversation is impor- tant. The Loomis has a happy hour that can't be beat: 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with "two-for-one" drinks. Veggies and dip or spicy Mexican snacks are provided on Fridays to add some- thing substantial to that "two-for- one" liquid diet.

Another added attraction of the Loomis is that it seems to be a favor- ite watering hole for many members of the C.U.P. faculty. It's interesting to see how readily they shed that classroom image for the "let-the- good-times-roH" atmosphere of the Loomis.

THE UNIVERSITY INN: The U.I. has made Tuesday night one to look for- ward to. "Mug Night's" popularity is not only evident by the huge crowds present, but also by the col- lection of mugs you see everytime you enter someone's apartment. While enjoying "Beat-the Clock" on Wednesday nights, it occurs to the patrons that the charm of U.I. lies in its similarity to those long gone "basement — rec room" parties we attended as high school students.

JOHNNY B'S: If you're looking for the biggest variety around, Johnny B'S is probably the place for you. With its large video screen, live DJ, free prizes, and spacious dance floor, this is the closest thing to o real nightclub that Clarion offers.

THE RED STALLION (THE ROOST): There seems to be no other place in Clarion where you see the student population doing vi/hat they do best — partying — than at the Roost. With beer in hand and both feet on the dance floor, the Roost provides all of us Vi/ith a place to unwind and release those tensions that have been building up since Monday. With the Roost and Thursday nights in mind, "TGIF" has been trans- formed to "'TGIT."

So whether it be the 25c drafts on Wednesday, "three-for-one" on Thursday, or happy hour on Friday, the Roost is the place to be!

ONDAY NIGHT: It's the first day of the week, you're tired and can't move. You can't decide which is worse, the icy rain or the Chandler food. Luckily for you. Mom came through with the bucks. You and your roommate ar- gue until delivery time starts. You decide that a Fox's hot ham and cheese sub sounds great and promptly place your order.

TUESDAY NIGHT: "It's Collegio's night!" you yell as the old book bag bites the dust beside your bed. "Cheap pizza!" your roommate en- thusiastically cheers from under a pile of clothes. The echoes bounce down the hall: "Cheap pizza!" En masse, the entire wing relocates to Collegio's.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Over-the- hump-day abandon hits as you wait for the 'vator. After a hard day in the library, you decide you need nu- trition. The money you saved last night is crying to be spent. Your roommate's ESP has preceeded you. You round the corner to your room only to be clotheslined as your roomie bellows, "Let's go — Subway Subs!" As you're thrown bodily onto the elevator, you reflect that an Alaskan King Crab sub sounds good, and if you don't deserve it, who does?

THURSDAY NIGHT: The weekend rapidly approaches. To prepare your body for the rude shock of weekend partying, you decide on a crash course of junk food. Of course your drinking buddies agree with your plan of action. They are al- ready armed with a wad of ones, and they point you in the right direc- tion. Your destination: The Hot Dog House. On your way home, you vow never to be suckered into carrying back 36 hot dogs, 12 plates of na- chos, and 10 larges drinks.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Your stomach rum- bles after you weave your way back from happy hour. Food, food, food, it demands.

Fox's Pizza is one of tfie many favorite pizza shops in the area.

f^or just $2.00, anyone can get a great meal at K.F.C, with the specials every day.

You check the cash supply and find it's still holding its own for the time being, A sign cuts through the alcoholic haze: "Bob's Sub and Sandwich Shop," Your feet agree with your stomach and take you in. Your mother cooperates as you or- der a Junior Turkey sub with no mayo. Your tastebuds delight at the taste while your stomach thanks you for being so compassionate,

SATURDAY NIGHT: The cash flow is at Depression levels. Everyone wants to eat out, but where? You venture an idea, "Mickey D,'s?" you timidly say. Everyone stops, turns, and stares at you. Then they start smiling. Hamburgers and fries dance In their minds. You are declared the hero of the evening and are al- lowed to place your order first,

SUNDAY NIGHT: You're broke. At last you're driven to it: eating in Chandler. Bitterly you complain as you hike there. Once inside, you sigh and get in line. Then you think of tomorrow's mail. Mom should come through . . .

. . And The Winner Is . . .

s the hills of Clarion brighten in shodes of red and gold, as students begin to steal off into town with a briskness of step and return with a smile in their eyes, as friends and alumni begin to pour into the town, what else but anoth- er Autumn Leaf Festival could be coming to town?!

ALF '85 arrived in Clarion with all this autumnal trimming and more. The theme, "Clarion Salutes Miss Lib- erty," was sung out by downtown store windows, campus banners, and a multitude of festival memora- bilia. For one October week, ALF became a way of life here in Clarion.

As tradition has it, the festival was staged In downtown Clarion. The dozens upon dozens of residents and visitors found Main Street flanked with numerous arts and crafts exhibitions, farmers selling fresh autumn vegetables, and ven- dors cooking everything from the all-American steak sandwich to an assortment of Chinese delights.

Further down Main Street, howev- er, was where the heart of the festi- val lay. As the lighted Ferris wheel traveled through the night sky and the aroma of cotton candy filled the air, it was here at the carnival where people of all ages gathered in excitement. The melodies of the carousel rang out above the crowds as did the ramming of bumper cars. And as is the case with every carnival, there were games being played, prizes being won, and lines forming for caramel apples, trench waffles, and warm apple dumplings.

The week of ALF eventually led to the ALF porade and C.U.P.'s own Homecoming. As leaves fell from overhead and eager fans anticipated the day of football to come, thousands of spectators lined Main Street to enjoy the sounds of bands, marvel at the performance of the Zem Zem bike squads, and cheer for their favorite Greek float.

The 1985 Homecoming Queen, Kristin Grine, was crowned during the halftime festivities at the foot- ball game against Slippery Rock University. The Homecoming Court included seniors Pom Fin- nerty and Laurie Beightol; juniors Lisa Byrne and Jennifer Faust; sophomores Cathy Weiland, Kelly Kline, and Derita Clark; and fresh- men Christine Pecce, Dovie Pow- ell, and Wendy Holowell. The queen and her court were select- ed by the students of C.U.P.

Thus, ALF '85 offered activities for everyone. Most unique, how- ever, was the atmosphere brought to Clarion by all the Au- tumn Leaf festivities. It was an at- mosphere of fun, excitement, and relaxation. ALF was a time for partying with friends, for families to visit, and for alumni to return and reminisce. ALF was one week out of the year when classes and jobs were temporarily robbed of attention, when the community and its friends let loose and en- joyed. ALF was a time when memories were created — mem- ories which will last a lifetime. -Lisa Dean Donna Llotus

Celebration!

he holidays throughout the school year give Clarion Uni- versity students many chances to get away from school- work and enjoy themselves. The first holiday of the fall semester is Hallow- een. Strange creatures can be seen on the streets of Clarion as they prowl about from party to party on this night. It's the time when anyone can live out his or her fantasies and become whomever or whatever he or she wishes.

Thanksgiving comes next and gives students a chance to get away from school for a while. This is the holiday to eat and eat until the stomach feels like bursting, and then lay around watching football.

Christmas and New Year finally roll around, and that means semester break. Students just out of final ex- ams now can recuperate and pre- pare for the next semester. The weeks leading up to to the break are full of activities on campus: 'tub- ing down the fresh snow on (Ralston Hill, the Madrigal Dinner, plays, con- certs, and plenty of others.

The spring semester brings more holidays. Valentine's Day, the day of love, comes first. Sweethearts send each other flowers, candy, and oth- er signs of affection. St. Patrick's Day soon follows. Green beer is all that needs to be said about this day!

Shortly after St. Patrick's Day comes Easter, the herald of spring. This holiday brings Spring Break, that long-awaited respite from classes, tests, and general drudgery. What to do is the big question. Students can head south to Ft. Lauderdale or Daytona for sun and fun, head to the slopes for spring skiing, or just vegetate at home!

These days are the milestones throughout the year. Another mile- stone that deserves mention is the recognition in 1986 of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a national holiday. January was much more than a day of no classes, it was a day set aside to remember a great man and his work in the area of equal rights for all.

Every holiday was anticipated by students who gladly welcome a breather from the daily routine of classes. Holidays gave students the chance to just relax and enjoy themselves. And isn't that what it's all about?

I Coat Of Many Colors

he sun and heat of summer have all but faded, leaving behind a tranquil coolness in the air. Gentle breezes move listless- ly through Clarion as autumn paints the area in myriad shades of reds and yellows. The campus for this one brief span becomes a display of breathtaking beauty.

Viewed from Wilkinson and Nair, morning has just laid a river of mist in the winding hillsides. Fiery yellow and orange leaves wink through the mist, as fallen red leaves line the "nature trail" just ahead. Across the campus, somewhere between Reimer Center and Carlson Library, orange and golden leaves fill the trees, standing in sharp contrast to the blue October sky.

All too soon, though, the last burst of color falls from the trees, to be swept away by approaching winter winds. All too soon, the beauty be- comes just passing memories and snapshots of unparalleled loveliness: autumn leaves Clarion University.

The River

estled within the rolling hills of Clarion County, the Clarion River lazily flows through beautiful forests and stone-lined banks. Within a short distance of Clarion University's campus, down a gently-curved hill, lies a trestle on the river's banks that has become a favorite spot for many students.

From the trestle, or anywhere along the Clarion's banks, one can enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. Whether watching the water in its soothing flow, or trying for that re- cord in stone-skipping across the riv- er's fairly smooth surface, one can appreciate the warmth of summer sunshine, be awed by the spectacle of Clarion's famous autumn leaves, or marvel at the lovely snow-cov- ered banks arching their way to- ward the frozen water. And during the spring, as sunshine eventually re- turns to the water, so too does life return to the trees and bushes lining the riverbanks.

The beauty of the Clarion River, though, could never be fully ex- plained through words. It is a sight which must be seen to be truly ap- preciated. It is a sight no student should miss during the four years spent at Clarion.

A Clarion Classic: Rainy

Christine Zawrotuk

Kerry Anderson has a little fun while "wading" across campus.

ife at Clarion University, for all the academics, clubs, friends, and fun, has its draw- backs. The largest of these, by far, is the weather.

Simply stated, the weather at Clarion is the worst on this Earth. The element causing all the trouble is water.

If there exists water on this great planet of ours, eventually it finds its way to Clarion. Once here, this wa- ter chooses a variety of forms; rain, snow, ice, fog, sleet, freezing rain, mist, and the ever-popular combi- nation of water/dirt known as mud. In many cases, all the the above choose to attack the campus at once.

Once in a while, a very great while, the water decides to avoid Clarion. Then, on these hallmark oc- casions, the sky turns blue, the or- ange brick of Clarion's buildings stands out in glorious contrast, and the mood of the campus turns from dark and dismal to warm and cheerful. These occasions are usual- ly found in September and early Oc- tober. However, with the arrival of autumn, the ground once again turns fluid under the deluge of daily, nightly, and all-encompassing rain.

Eventually, the ground dries, and the rain stops. Well, a more honest description would be that the ground freezes and the rain turns to snow.

Is this how Clarion's students get to class every day?

The wintery conditions usually last until early spring. Then the real fun begins. Water, frozen in the ground, turns the land into a swamp, only to be further liquified with more and more rain. Fog during the spring thaw reduces campus visibility to near zero, and the overall color is gray.

I've heard that during the summer Clarion turns warm and sunny and bright. The ground dries to the point of walkability, the skies turn blue, and the sunny days lead to glorious sunsets. If this is true, I think a change in the school calendar is in order.

The Thrill Of Victory , . .

ccording to Webster's dic- tionary, the word "intramu- ral" is defined as "within the walls or limits of the city or college." At Clarion University, there seems to be no "limit" in the participation of the student body in different intra- mural programs for both men and women. Some of the more popular intramural sports include basketball, Softball, volleyball, and flag football. Aside from these sports, others are golf, water basketball, co-ed vol- leyball, bowling, foul shooting, bad- minton, backgammon, weightlifting, swimming, wrestling, and track and field. It's amazing to see the number of students who flock to participate in these events.

What draws students to the intra- mural program? First of all it does have the competitve edge that all sports enthusiasts crave. A lot of stu- dents like to participate in intramur- als for they simple fact that they are fun, and that they break up the mo- notony of everyday college life. The one unique feature that intramurals have is that each team must select a nickname. These sometimes prove to be quite bizarre, and may in fact be the reason some teams enter. Some of the names are "The Tracksters," "All Day Long," "Show- time," "Down Syndrome," "Social Distortion," and "The Golden Spikers."

Regardless of a team's reason for entering, the name of the team, or the sport entered, intramurals guar- antee fun, competition, and, if lucky enough, a taste of victory. Some of this writer's four years at Clarion hove been spent in the intramurals program, and while it seems to get better each year, victory has yet to be tasted!

It's a small world — these foreign stu- dents discuss how they like American life.

hey're everywhere. In class, at Changler, in the Library, living across the hall from you, they're there. "They" are the foreign student population at Clarion.

From all across the globe, for- eign students have made the pil- grimage to Clarion. It's uncertain what the attraction is (maybe it's the weather), but still they come. With them they bring their cul- tures, ideas, and traditions.

In class they learn and struggle like the rest of us, but sometimes with a greater handicap, that of trying to understand our English language. And this means under- standing not just the formal lan- guage, but the slang too. Figuring out what things like scopes, cigs, and the occasional unprintable mean is sometimes harder to un- derstand than the new physics book.

They cope, and after four years they go home and tell sto- ries about the four craziest, wild- est, and most difficult years of their lives. What they will take with them will be an education, a new understanding of people, and first-hand experience with the American way of life.

And, of course, all the souve- nirs, like a few visitation signs, a mug or two from their favorite bar

e at The Sequelle are inter- ested in replacing old im- ages with new ones. Keep- ing this in mind, we interviewed Dr. Thomas Bond, focusing on the hu- man aspects of our university presi- dent. We found that underneath the title, and the power that goes along with it, there is a person who is not that dissimilar from ourselves.

Dr. Bond was born 48 years ago in the month of March. He attended a military high school in his hometown of St. Louis where he was a member of the Officer Cadet Corp and the National Honor Society. His athletic involvement included basketball, baseball, and golf. He later enrolled at the University of Missouri where he graduated with a bachelor's de- gree in geology. He later received

his master's and doctorote in the same field.

His wife, Judy, is also well-educat- ed. She received her bachelor's de- gree in English from Oklahoma State and a master's from Idaho State in rhetoric and public address. They have two children, Tom, Jr., who is 17 years old, and Amy, who is 15. Rounding out the family, are two pets, a collie named Happy and a cat named B.C., which stands for, what else, "Black Cat." The Bond family likes to travel whenever there is time.

Dr. Bond enjoys comedy movies in general. "Animal House" was cited as one he especially liked. He reads books that deal with historical back- grounds as well as detective novels. Professional journals and Newsweek are his magazine interests. He likes listening to country and western music. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jen- nings, and The Oak Ridge Boys are particular favorites. Spicy and orien- tal-style dishes are among his favor- ite foods.

San Franciso, California, and San Antonio, Texas, are the two places he has liked visiting the most in the United States, He found Indonesia to be a particularly interesting foreign country. He hopes to visit Scotland and England some day, the latter being where the Bond family name has its roots.

He likes the informal, relaxed at- mosphere of Clarion. He says that the amicable and productive rela- tionship between the faculty and students distinguishes Clarion from other universities with which he has been associated.

Dr. Bond's hobbies include flying his Piper Cherokee airplane and golfing. He also likes to bird hunt when he gets the chance.

When asked what single piece of advice he would give to the stu- dents of Clarion University, Dr. Bond said he would advise students not to "take life too seriously." He added that if any student has a question, all he or she has to do is stop by his office in Carrier and ask it.

With this interview we hope to have changed the image of Dr. Bond from that of an inaccessible university president to that of a nor- mal human being, who has likes and dislikes just as we all do.

What Your Mother Never Told You:

My mother never told me:

* Clarion has a gentle slope fondly referred to as "Cardiac

* During certain winter months it's possible to make it from Campbell to Still in 43 seconds flat— without ice skatesi

* My mascot would be a chicken— granted, a golden one, but still a chicken.

* The dorm elevators would break down only on the days I was late for an exam.

* Clarion has this bizarre ritual each semester in which students sleep outside Still Hall almost all night in hopes of being the first one through the doors in the morning. I think it's called "scheduling."

* The dryers in the dorms are only props.

Clarion Its

Very

Own

Museum

The Human Sciences Department at Clarion University is mode up of four sub- ject areas. These areas are; Anthropolo- gy, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology.

In 1985-86, two Anthropology profes- sors. Dr. Gustav Konitsky and Dr, Dean Straffin, revived an old college tradition: Clarion got its very own museum.

According to Dr, Straffin, it used to be common for small colleges like Clarion to have museums. However, in the begin- ning of the twentieth century, the muse- ums were not appreciated for their edu- cational value, and eventually fell out of favor.

Clarion's museum, located in Founder's Hall, is an anthropology museum. Drs. Konitsky and Straffin are largely responsi- ble for putting together the museum's displays of bones, tools, artifacts, draw- ings, and replica skulls. The display cases contain objects covering subjects from the evolution of humans to the evolution of barns in the Clarion area. The profes- sors have even donated some of the mu- seum's pieces themselves.

For more information on the Human Sci- ences Department's latest contribution to the Clarion campus, turn to "Tidbits" in the Senior section of this book.

A Picture Of

Success In '85-

'86

To most students at Clarion, the Art De- partment in Marwick-Boyd is unseen un- less an advisor requires an Art class to fulfill a graduation requirement. However, to Art Department majors and faculty, it is a place to get together and discuss programs designed to enlighten young and old aspiring artists. In the fall of 1985 one such program was presented by Kate Kronquist of Clarion on framing and matting techniques for works of art. In the spring of 1986, a film was shown illustrat- ing the sculpture collection of the Pep- sico company in Purchase, N.Y.

The Art Department, directed by Mr. Eugene Seelye, offers the Art Depart- ment Foundation Scholarship each year. It was awarded in 1985-86 to Donald M. Reed. According to Mr. Seelye, Reed re- ceived his BFA in May with a concentra- tion in Fiber/Fabric.

Clarion's Sanford Gallery is located on the second floor of Marwick-Boyd. The gallery is curated by Mrs. Thomas Bond and directed by Dr. Charles Merlin. In co- operation with' the Sanford Gallery Asso- ciation, the gallery presents exhibitions from various artists across the U.S. Pur- chased works from some of these exhibits are placed in Clarion's Permanent Collection.

Art majors are different from other stu- dents in that they must display what they learn and often receive criticism on the work from the public. Each year the San- ford Gallery has a Student Exhibition, al- lowing the students to express them- selves and publicly give their answers to the question, "What is art?"

Some Migrating In '85-'86

Many events occurred in the Biology Department in 1985-86. Ttie cinairperson of the department. Dr. Kenneth Mechl- ing, took a trip abroad to Europe to work for the Defense Dependent School Sci- ence Program. This is a program for teachers on U.S. military bases designed to "enhance and improve science curric- ulum and instruction" on the bases, ac- cording to Mechling. He said the overall objective of the program is to Improve the quality of science ecucatlon world- wide.

Another event was the presentation of the Commonwealth University Biology Award to Biology major Cynthia Kurtz.

One of the Biology Department-spon- sored clubs is the Health Careers Club. They had a successful year in 1985-86, and their activities included hosting speakers from Clarion-Osteopothic Hos- pital and also from various graduate schools.

Another club, the Bios Club, also had a successful year. The members took their spring trip to Croaton National Forest In Kitty Hawk, N.C. They learned about and participated in activities such as fly fishing and beer making.

Formula For

Success

The Chemistry Department presents many awards and scholarships to deserv- ing students. The awards given out this year include: the Competition Award, presented to Mike Manski and Mike Nich- ols; the Outstanding Senior Award, given to John Manski; the American Institute of Chemistry Award, presented to Beth Capp; and the Analytical Chemistry Award, received by Kevin Litwiler,

The scholarships awarded this year were the Western Pennsylvania Water Company Scholarship and the Clarion University Foundation Scholarship. These were awarded to Larry Myers and Kevin Litwiler, respectively.

The Chemistry Department is currently in the difficult process of searching for a replacement for Dr. Olive Bower. Dr. Bow- er, an outstanding professor, will be leav- ing the department in December of 1987. The department and students are sorry to see her leave and wish her the best of luck.

High school students got a chance to view the Chemistry Department first- hand this year. The annual Open House invites from 15 to 20 high schools to tour the department on third floor Peirce. This year, the event, sponsored by the Stu- dent Affiliate of the American Chemical Society, attracted over 350 interested students.

The Golden Screw Award was present- ed this year to the department's own Dr. Paul Beck. This award, new in 1986, was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega fraterni- ty. The coveted prize was presented to Beck on the basis of a campus-wide stu- dent vote. Beck claims to be quite pleased to have received the award.

Thus, the Chemistry Department had a busy year. Not only is the department a unique and interesting place, in addition, as the sign on third floor Peirce states, "Chemistry is FunI"

Clarion Hosts

English Conference

It is always a privilege to be a host to any respected gathering of persons ea- ger to participate in and discuss the same subject. In October of 1985, this privilege fell to Clarion University as facul- ty and students canne together for the Fifth Annual Conference of the English As- sociation of Pennsylvania State Universi- ties at the Sheraton Inn in Clarion.

What is a conference of the English As- sociation, and what is done there? The English Conference is a series of sessions when faculty speak on various topics, all of which deal with the conference's overall theme. It is also an opportunity for faculty and students to interact and to discuss the subject at hand.

The theme this year was "Politics and Literature." The keynote address was given by feminist scholar Dr. Mary Anne Ferguson of the University of Massachu- setts. Dr. Ferguson discussed "Literature: The Cose of Feminism."

Throughout the weekend, the English Conference covered a wide range of topics from writing and literary criticism to Shakespeare and American literature. Among the many scheduled speakers were Clarion's own Dr. C. Darrel Sheraw, Dorlynn Fink, Dr. Francis Greco, Dr. Ed- ward Rocklin, Dr. Terry Caesar, Dr. Larry Dennis, and Dr. Donald Wilson.

As well as these formal sessions of speeches, scheduled during the week- end was a creative session. This meeting allowed the faculty to present their own prose and poetry. Included this year were poetry recitations and perfor- mances of one-act plays.

Apart from all this, the English Confer- ence serves yet another worthy purpose. Each annual conference includes the awards presentation of the Outstanding English Major of the Year for each of the 14 participating universities. Clarion's award this year went to junior Kathleen Buechner.

The Clarion University Geography and Earth Science Department, located on third floor Peirce and chaired by Dr. George Shirey, has plenty to offer its students.

In addition to the fine direction of Dr. Shirey, the departnnent offers a fine fac- ulty dedicated to academic excellence. Both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Sci- ence degrees are available to the Ge- ography and Earth Science majors.

The department's honorary organiza- tion is Gamma Theta Upsilon. Students excelling in Geography ore invited to join this special group.

Maps and map-reading play a big role in Geography majors' education. If you have ever noticed the satellite dish on the roof of Becker Hall, you have seen a source of that education. The installation of the dish allov^s the department to re- ceive updated vyeother maps very quickly.

Dr. Donald Totten, a member of the department since 1965, retired from teaching in December of 1985. All at Clarion thank him for 20 years of dedicat- ed service, and wish him a happy retirement.

History:

History Dept.

Moves Into Future

When most people think of the study of history, they think of dusty books full of names and dates, not modern technol- ogy. Today, however, historical studies are likely to involve the use of computers as weW as old documents.

Clarion's History Department is currently in the midst of a complete curriculum re- vision under the direction of Chairperson Brian Dunn, and is introducing the use of quantitative research methods in its pro- gram. An example of quantitative re- search would be the examination of his- torical data, such as voting trends in Congress, with the aid of a computer. Students majoring in History should great- ly benefit from this curriculum updating. Although it will take about two years to fully implement, and will be quite expen- sive. Clarion will offer a History Depart- ment in step with modern needs when it is complete.

Besides developing the new curricu- lum, the History Department's nine-mem- ber staff is very active in research. Dr. Marilyn Westerkamp currently has a con- tract with the prestigious Oxford Universi- ty Press for a book on religion in colonial America. Also, Dr. Steven Piott has re- cently published a book entitled The Anti- Monopoly Persuasion, and two other members of the staff had articles pub- lished during 1985-86. The research done by the staff is in addition to their teaching duties.

Presently, there are 25 history majors; this is not including the many education majors concentrating in history, and oth- er double majors. Also, there are two stu- dent groups under the History Depart- ment: Phi Alpha Theta, an honor society, and the History Club. Their activities in- clude bringing guest speakers to our campus for all students to enjoy.

For Moth

Dept.

The 1985-86 academic year proved to be a busy one for the Clarion Mathemat- ics Department. Chairperson Dr. Benjamin M. Freed, who has held the chair for three years, explained some of the efforts that were made.

A permanent faculty member. Dove Marchand, was hired at the Clarion Ven- ango Campus. Marchand is also the pres- ident of the Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Here at Clarion, Dr. Freed said that the Math Department was " . , . trying to hire two new faculty members. There (were) two searches made for the positions." Dr. Freed further stated that the department was looking for "new, young people" for the positions, and that the department was especially looking for someone with a PhD. in Mathematics Education. The search, as of spring 1986, was still continuing.

In addition, in April of 1986, the regional meeting of the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) was held at C.U.P. Members of the MAA from the tri-state Allegheny Mountain area were in attendance.

Also, the spring of 1986 saw Clarion's Math Department hosting a high school math competition. The event, chaired by faculty member Diana Lund, allowed the high school students to take a campus tour as well.

The Math Department has also been "eagerly acquiring" microcomputers. Apple He systems have been purchased for both faculty and student use. An final- ly, plans for the fall of 1986 include the hosting of the Mathematics Council of Western Pennsylvania Conference.

Year Of Moves For The Mod- ern Languages Dept.

In 1985-86, the perfect phirase to de- scribe the Language Department was "on the move."

The department, consisting of French, Russian, German, and Spanish majors, and under the direction of Department Chairperson Dr. Brigitte Callay, made its presence known in 1985-86. How? Through its clubs.

The Russian Club, led by Dr. Dilara Ni- koulin, danced at the annual Slavic Festi- val at Penn State in April, The French Club, under the leadership of Pierre Fortis, hosted a number of weekly foreign films for students and Clarion residents. Further- more, the entire French Department par- ticipated in the International Day during the Clarion Festival of the Arts.

The biggest move of all will be Dr. Cal- lay's move to Illinois in the fall. Dr. Callay accepted the position of Chairperson for Eastern Illinois University's Foreign Lan- guage Department. Dr. Callay, a native of Belgium, says she is very excited about the move. She will assume her new posi- tion in the fall of 1986,

Talents Are

Spot- Lighted In Recitals

If they're such good musicians, why ore they teaching instead of performing? Ah, but they are performing! It is a fallacy that, just because musicians teach, they can't "make it" as professional musicians.

According to Mr. Donald F. Black, Chairperson of C.U.P.'s Music Depart- ment, the faculty members at Clarion are "not only teachers, but also active per- formers." Throughout the school year, members of the Music Department per- form at their own Faculty Recitals. Some- times these musicians are accompanied by other members of the Clarion commu- nity. As the faculty members perform, their years of experience and their knowl- edge of music ore thoroughly exhibited.

In addition to these performances, C.U.P.'s Music faculty also demonstrate their dedication, love of music, and ex- cellence in the field in other ways. For example, Dr. J. Rex Mitchell composed two pieces for symphonic bands that were released by publishers in the fall. Furthermore, Dr. Stanley F. Michalski cele- brated 25 years of service to C.U.P. in the spring.

These are just two examples of the Mu- sic Department faculty members' ac- complishments. In order to appreciate the talents of the C.U.P. Music faculty, I, along with Mr. Black, would like to en- courage everyone to attend a Faculty Recital. As Mr. Black says, they are "not as boring as you might think!"

Let's Get Physical

The C.U.P. Physics Department, chaired by Dr. William Snedegar, may not be the most glamorous or advertised on cam- pus, but to the people who major in Phys- ics or Pre-engineering, it can be a big stop in the direction of a fulfilling career.

The people who plan on devoting their lives to this field spend hours memorizing formulas, studying light refractions, and wave characteristics. To someone out- side the field, this may sound quite te- dious, but is is really no different from memorizing lines for a play or words to a song. Also, the Physics Department facul- ty tries to make the field stimulating for all their students.

The department rewards its students showing dedication and promise. The Paul Schenk Award is presented each spring semester to a student who excels in math, physics, chemistry, and comput- er science in the field of Physics or Pre- engineering. The last award went to Cathy S. McCrocken. This award includes a gold plaque, and a generous cosh award ranging from $300-$500.

Students with questions about the events in the Physics Department are en- couraged to stop in to see Dr. Snedegar. He is not only guaranteed to liven up the day a bit, but will also answer those ques- tions completely and accurately.

While Learning

One of the most innovative and grow- ing departments on campus is the Psy- chology Department, chaired by Dr. Rich Nicholls. This department is the place where you will find the Rat Olympics and the Pepsi Challenge recreated.

The Rat Olympics, sponsored by the department, involved nearly 100 stu- dents and their trained rats in 1986. The rats were trained to complete an obsta- cle course, and the winner was the rat with the quickest time through the course. Talk about a "rat race!"

The Psychology program offers three different majors: a B.S. in Psychology, a B.A. in Psychology, and a combined So- ciology/Psychology major. The Psycholo- gy program consists of approximately 180 students.

The Psychology faculty are dedicated to their students and the university. In ad- dition to being closely in touch with their advisees, the professors are involved with Faculty Senate, individual research, and authoring books.

With continuing growth and an exciting curriculum, the Psychology Department is an integral part of the Clarion campus.

Plenty Of

Hands-

On

Experience

The Speech Communication and The- atre Department offers students a wide range of experience. The department is divided into two separate tracks: Speech Communication, and Theatre. Recently, a new concentration has been devel- oped to meet the needs of those stu- dents who want to enter the field of pub- lic relations and business. Existing Communication and Business Manage- ment courses help make up this new area of study.

For those students concentrating in Theatre, the department still has much to offer. Clarion University Theatre provides actual hands-on experience in virtually all phases of theatre production. Each year the department produces four shows; one classic, one contemporary, and two musicals. In addition to the chance to participate in these shows during the ac- ademic year. Clarion offers a very exten- sive summer theatre program.

Other developments in the depart- ment during 1985-86 included the hiring of four new faculty members to keep up with the growth of the SCT Department. Also, the Debate and the Individual Events teams both went to their respec- tive National Tournaments.

Through course work, excellent co-cur- ricular opportunities, and a dedicated staff, the SCT Department manages to educate, entertain, and prepare its stu- dents for life beyond Clarion.

Programs

The Accounting Department, headed by Dr. Charles Pineno, remains an out- standing achiever in the College of Busi- ness. With a continuing internship pro- gram and a growing student enrollment, the department well-prepares students for employment after graduation.

The Internship Program involves junior and senior students with at least a 3.0 Q.P.A. The process involves the students interviewing with firms for a position, and, if accepted, working for the firm for a semester or summer. Many students who have taken part in the program are pleased with this chance to learn outside the classroom.

Together with a top faculty and enthu- siastic student participation, the Ac- counting Department helps underclass- men with a tutorial program. Available to all students, the program provides tutors who help prepare the students for tests and help with homework.

Being involved is a common character- istic of the department members. Their support of their students is one indicator of the excellence of this department.

The Department of Administrative Sci- ences offers Clarion University students degrees in Management, Management /Library Science, Office Management, and Industrial Relations.

Tfie department's curriculum helps stu- dents to understand the complex rela- tionships inherent in the rapidly changing domestic and international world of busi- ness, industry, and.government; provides educational experience to help students develop their potential for leadership and service; stimulates the grov^/th of students as individuals and citizens; and provides an environment in which educational en- richment can take place.

The Business Club, sponsored through the department, is set up so that the stu- dents in it have a chance to hear speak- ers from many corporations and take field trips, such as the trip to Washington, D.C. in April of 1986.

The students in the department are well-prepared for careers in business, in- dustry, and government, or for graduate studies in business, economics, or law.

Econ Dept.

May Supply New

Minor

A new minor area of study has been proposed by the Economics Department. With advisement from other members of the business field, the faculty of the Eco- nomics Department recommended in 1985-86 that the minor of International Business be added to the business curric- ulum. At the time this article was written, the proposal had not yet been approved by the Chancellor of the State System of Higher Education in Harrisburg. If ap- proved, the minor would be open to stu- dents in any major area of study. Howev- er, Dr. Enid Dennis, Chairperson of the Department of Economics, feels that the International Business minor would be of special interest to Language majors, as it would make them more marl<etable.

International Business was approved in the fall of 1985 by the Faculty Senate, President, and Council of Trustees as an area of concentration in the Economics Department. This concentration will take effect in the fall of 1987.

We will be looking forward to this new minor expanding the opportunities avail- able to Clarion University students.

Econ

Dollars 8c Sense:

How many times have you asked your- self, "Now what Willi do with that million dollars?"

Well, fear not, because Clarion Univer- sity's Department of Finance has the an- swer. Headed by Mr, Richard Hawk, who has held the position of chairperson for two years, the department educates CD. P. students in a wide range of fields in the financial service industry. These fields include banking, insurance, stock broker- age, real estate, and corporate finance.

"We hove increased the number of majors, both in finance and real estate," Mr. Hawk stated. "This reflects present market conditions. The department is try- ing to orient courses to personal financ- ing." When asked about the field of per- sonal finance planning, Mr. Hawk further stated, "It is an emerging field. It has grown in the last five years considerably." The courses offered by Clarion's Finance Department will educate students in how to work for insurance companies, finan- cial networks, or even how to set up pri- vate practices of their own. All of these students, once passing the Certified Fi- nancial Planner exam, will eventually be able to help consumers make the right investments with their savings.

New course proposals, made to remain up-to-date with the market, are future considerations of the department. Re- flecting this commitment to up-to-date education, three PhD's, all with practical experience and orientation, were hired during the 1985-86 school year.

Finally, Mr. Hawk expressed the desire to have students at C.U.P. examine the Finance Department, especially those students who have undeclared majors. It is an extremely flexible and broad-based department, with progress and current market conditions firmly in mind. And also, if a student were to enter the depart- ment, he or she wouldn't hove to pay another C.U.P. graduate to find out what to do with a cool million dollars!

Living In The Real World

The CUP. Marketing Department took a giant academic step forward in 1985- 86 — a step away from classroom chalk- talk and into the practical world of mar- keting. With a new emphasis on education put to work, a precedent of excellence has been set, which will con- tinue for years to come.

While still founded on a general core of business skills, each course has been re- designed to be as much like the actual business world as possible. "Our new de- sign is demanding yet infinitely practical," says department choir Dr. Joseph Grun- enwald. The key goal, according to Grunenwald, is to prepare marketing ma- jors for the tough, competitive, and real world of business, government, and industry.

In Dr. Felicetti's Marketing Manage- ment class, for example, students in as- signed teams take products from the ini- tial planning stage all the way through television advertising campaigns.

The computer is the means, not the end, for Dr. Traynor's Marketing Problems class where separate "companies" are formed to compete against each oth- er— another example of the "real world" application.

The added emphasis on internships and co-ops is based on this same fundamen- tal idea. And with 100 students graduat- ing from the program annually, the six full- time faculty members are kept busy maintaining this challenging yet worth- while "real world vs. classroom" approach.

Decision-making, staffing, organizing, designing: these skills and many others are what marketing students can plan to learn and sharpen in this excitingly new and practical academic design from C.U.P.'s revamped Marketing Department.

Media Organizations Reap Benefits Of Hard Wori<

Clarion University's Communication De- partment, headed by Ms. Patricia Marini, boasts a number of student-run medio organizations. Communication students are required to work for tinese organiza- tions at least two of the four years spent at Clarion. The chance to learn the tricks of the trade is welcomed by the stu- dents, and this is evident by the excel- lence of the organizations.

1985-86 saw this excellence rewarded. One of Clarion's radio stations, WCUC- FM, received a Golden Microphone Award for a series of station promotions. And Clarion University was the only uni- versity to receive an award in the Associ- ated Press competition for news in small market radio stations in Pennsylvania.

CUB TV-5, the student-run television station, received a first-place award for one of its news segments. The station is also in the running for a "Golden Quill Award," sponsored by the International Association of Business Communicators.

Also, Clarion's weekly newspaper, the Clarion Call, received a national first place award for overall excellence from the Scholastic Press Association.

The co-curriculor program is just one of the methods by which the Communica- tion Department encourages academic and practical experience. The depart- ment also is proud to have on extensive graduate studies program, allowing a student to concentrate in the medium he or she likes best. And the department en- courages internships during the course of students' undergraduate and graduate studies.

Science Dept,

Keeps Up

With Technology

Major changes were undertaken by the Computer Science Department dur- ing the 1985-86 academic year. Under the chair of Mr, James Holden, who ac- quired the position in the fall of 1985, the department attempted several major revisions.

"Our major goal," Holden stated, "(was) the further modification of the curriculum." He added that this was nec- essary to keep up with the latest devel- opments in technology. "We have some model curriculums that we're seeking to conform with," he said, mentioning the Data Processing Management Associa- tion as one such source.

One of the more exciting implements into this area was the department's at- tempt to cross over the courses of the two fields of study. Computer Science and Computer Applications and Informa- tion Systems. This will enable students to enjoy the best of both of the Computer Science curriculums offered at Clarion.

In addition to these cross-over changes, new courses for both of the fields of study were added and modified in 1985-86. All of the equipment in the computer labs was slated to be updat- ed, and new, more current software was purchased. This software covers not only the school's mainframe computer sys- tem, but the mini and microcomputers as well.

"We're seeking quality students for a quality program," Holden said. "The word is getting out that we are one of the best schools on the East Coast, in terms of faculty, equipment, and curriculum." With all this in mind, it seems that Clarion's Computer Science Department has nev- er looked better.

A Wide

Variety

Insures

Excellence

Clarion University offers 11 graduate programs, including the Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Education, Master of Business Administration, and Master of Science in Library Science. Also offered are teacher certification pro- grams for Reading Specialists, and School Supervisors.

The main goal of the other half of the department, the Continuing Education program, is to offer to the community resources of instructional talent available in the Clarion area. This branch of the Grad. Studies/Continuing Ed. Depart- ment makes available three types of pro- grams: non-credit courses, credit courses, and conferences.

Non-credit courses consist of classes in Vi^hich a person need not be admitted to Clarion University to participate. There are no examinations, and grades ore not given out. This is to insure the opportunity for unpressured personal growth. People who take these courses do so to gain job skills or just for personal enrichment. Re- cords are kept of participation, and, af- ter 10 hours of instruction, the person re- ceives what is known as a "Continuing Education unit."

Conference activities consist of bring- ing in certain professional groups and or- ganizations for day-long and week-long educational activities.

The College of Business Administration, working in cooperation with the Continu- ing Ed. program, offers an opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree through the Evening University program. This program is especially aimed at adults who, for ei- ther work or family reasons, must attend classes after 5:00 p.m.

With this type of variety, the College of Graduate Studies and Continuing Educa- tion is assuring people the chance to at- tain the highest level of education possible.

Every Clarion student is required to take four credits in Department of Health and Physical Education. These credits consist of two-credit health class and two one-credit gym classes that can range anywhere from aerobic dancing to cross-country skiing.

What most students do not realize, however, is that Clarion's Health and Physical Education Department also of- fers a specialized curriculum called the Clarion University Coaching Program. Al- though this 19-credit program is not a de- gree, it gives anyone with on interest in coaching the fundamentals, methods, theories, and experience to fulfill his or her goals. 13 of these credits ore required classes, and they cover athletic injuries, foundations of coaching, principles and problems of athletic coaching, kinesiolo- gical foundations of coaching, and car- diopulmonary resuscitation. The other six credits are electives that span almost ev- ery varsity sport. Coach Al Jocks, Chair- person of the Health and Phys Ed Depart- ment, soys that he highly recommends this program to anyone, mole or female, who intends to coach somewhere, whether it be in an interschool program, youth sports program, or community re- creation program.

A Responsibility

To

Help Insure

Our

Future

"What is the proper balance between what you're teaching and how it is being taught?" Dr. Earl Siler, Chairperson of the Education Department, thinks this is one of the most important questions concern- ing education today. Dr. Siler revealed that "Clarion is now bringing about changes in certification programs" to level the "knowledge and skills of what is taught and how it is taught." He added, "The public is also taking a good, hard look at teacher preparation and performance."

Because a "family today is not the same type of unit as it was 20 years ago," Dr. Siler feels this is also having "on impact on the teacher's role" in the classroom. Increased technology is ex- posing children to many new, advanced ideas, as well as problems at an early age. Teachers will have to "imagine the future society" for the children, and train themselves accordingly to keep the in- telligence of the children growing. The Education Department at Clarion Univer- sity tries to keep all of these things in mind when training the teachers of tomorrow. -Carol Schuller

Interest In

Secondary

Ed. Increases

As

Do Standards

For

Its Majors

Because the interest for Secondary Education in all areas of teaching is in- creasing. Clarion's Secondary Education focilities are enforcing higher standards for their majors. Dr. John Chiodo, Chair- person of the Secondary Education De- portment at Clarion, feels that the multi- plied "concern for teachers has occurred for three reasons." First of all, "the job market has broadened, and will probably continue to do so through 1990," Next, "entry-level salaries for teachers have in- creased considerably." Lastly, Dr. Chiodo feels that "a growing number of students are discovering that they would rather apply what they've learned through teaching rather than in a certain job,"

Because of these major changes. Dr. Chiodo feels "enrollment in the Depart- ment of Education at Clarion is increas- ing." According to Chiodo, the Second- ary Education Department's goals now ore to "keep the standard requirement for teaching challenging" to produce quality instructors for the future.

Clarion's Special Education Depart- ment has all the bases covered for any student interest in the field. The major is broken down into two areas: education and habilitative science. Habilitative Sci- ence is further broken down into Geron- tology, Developmentally Disabled, and Drug and Alcohol subject areas.

The Special Ed. Department is unique in that it offers a post-masters certification in Administration. Clarion is one of the few schools in the nation to offer this.

Also unique to the department are the training facilities it maintains. One of these facilities, the Special Education Clinic, has been in existence since 1967. There are only two other institutions in the state with comparable facilities — Chil- drens' Hospital and the University of Pitts- burgh. The actual testing and case coor- dinating is done almost entirely by students enrolled in the department's Education Appraisal class.

Another training facility is the Micro Teaching Lab. It gives students experi- ence in classroom management, and they are afforded the opportunity for evaluation and feedback. The lab, which contains 32 Apple IIC computers, is shared by Speech Pathology and Ele- mentary Education majors as well.

Internships are required of all Special Ed. majors. Students receive practical experience at institutions such as Forbes Hospital and Eastern Ministry. These in- ternships are comparable to student teaching and are worth up to 15 credits.

One final note; Clarion's Special Ed. De- partment boasts a 100% placement rate for its students. This statistic, combined with state-of-the-art facilities, guarantee the Special Ed. student success after graduation,

State-Of-

The-Art Equipment

The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at Clarion University has many special features that make it the finest clinical facility in the state, most especially the new state-of-the-art equipment.

The equipment, which is the finest and newest for teaching, clinical activities, and research, includes a speech science lab with a digital sonagroph with a com- puter interface, a microcomputer lob for students, with a large library of academic tutorial and clinical software, and evoked response lab with computerized equipment for the analysis and study of auditory, visual, and somatosensory evoked potentials, and last, but certainly not least, an auditory physiology lab with a complete nystamography unit. With this new purchase, students in this field can get hands-on experience with the latest technology.

The department, which hosts dedicat- ed faculty involved in research and schol- arship, offers students a choice of under- graduate and graduate programs which meet all academic and clinical require- ments for state and national certification. Also, there is an agreement with Gollau- det College, the National College for the Deaf in Washington, D.C., in which stu- dents from Clarion may study for a se- mester, transferring the credits back to C.U.P. There is also an affiliation agree- ment with some of the finest hospitals and schools over a wide geographic area for clinical externships.

With all these unique features and es- pecially the new equipment, the Speech Pathology and Audiology Department provides students the best possible edu- cation in this field.

Clarion Opens

Doors To

Maine

Students

Clarion University of Pennsylvania is helping the state of Maine. Sound unrea- sonable? Well, it's not. C.U.P.'s College of Library Science is presently involved in a program to alleviate Maine's shortage of certified school librarians.

Maine does not have an accredited graduate level program of education. However, the Maine Department of Edu- cation requires that its librarians have masters degrees. So, the Department enlisted the help of accredited Library Science schools in the east. The final de- cision to call upon CD. P. for help came on July 9, 1985.

Why C.U.P. for assistance? Among the reasons is Clarion's American Library As- sociation accreditation. Clarion is one of only 56 colleges in the United States to hold this distinction. Other reasons for choosing Clarion include the importance it places on rural library programs and the excellence of the Library Science pro- gram itself.

A visit to Maine by C.U.P.'s Mr. Charles Economous, Mrs. Constance Gamalud- din. Dr. Margaret Jetter, and Dr. Frank Sessions to select a site for teaching the courses helped to complete the plans. The program began in early October of 1985 with 44 students enrolled.

Former C.U.P. faculty member John Luskay was scheduled to teach the first two classes in Maine, one in the fall of 1985 and one in the spring of 1986. The next three classes were scheduled for the summer of 1986 when the Maine stu- dents would come to Clarion. Other classes are scheduled for the fall of 1986 and summer of 1987 at which time C.U.P. professors will teach at Maine,

ROTC Has

Plenty To

Offer Students

ROTC has much to offer the interest- ed student. Obvious benefits such as scholarships, salaries, and job security encourage enrollment.

Hovi/ever, other less tangible bene- fits also attract dedicated people to the program. These benefits include things such as self-discipline, personal growth, and increased love of coun- try. These things may seem abstract, but in reality ore very concrete in that they help to shape character.

The enrollment in the ROTC program has doubled between 1972 and 1986. The Clarion University campus boasts approximately 200 students in the program.

Involvement in ROTC often begins with an interest in Military Science labs, which are open to freshmen and soph- omores, and which carry no obligation to contract for service with a branch of the military.

If, however, after a student's sopho- more year, he or she decides to con- tinue with the program, he or she can expect to have tuition fully paid, re- ceive $150 per semester for books and supplies, and also $100 per month if under contract.

One activity provided by ROTC which is enjoyed campus-wide is the season rafting trips down the Youghio- geny River in Ohiopyle, PA. These trips often prove to be quite an adventure! The rafts hold six people, including one trained guide. After an instruction sem- inar on the wild ways of rapids, the journey begins. The trip can be very exciting, and the swirling, churning rap- ids leave the brave rafters feeling quite exuberant.

Clarion University Theatre per- formed Tom Jones' play, "The Fantasticks" from October 1-5, 1985. The performers, true to the play's title, were fantastic!

"The Fantasticks" began Dr. Mary Hardwick's nineteenth year directing plays here at Clarion. Choreography was provided by Colleen Kelly— new to the Univer- sity staff in 1985.

"The Fantasticks" is the story of a young boy and girl. Matt and Luisa (Richard Gordon and Kristen Lepke), who are in love. In a com- ic attempt at reverse psycholo- gy, the young sweethearts' fa- thers (John Burja and Howard Vincent- Kurtz) pretend to be op- posed to their children's ro- mance— while in reality they are quite pleased with the match.

In order to insure that their chil- dren remain committed to each other, the fathers devise a plan that involves Henry, the Actor (Eric White); and Mortimer, the Man Who Dies (Jon William Hartwell). The reasoning behind the charade is to put Matt in a heroic light saving Luisa from di- saster. The musical number, "Rape Ballet", provides the per- fect set of lyrics for the event.

The Narrator, El Gallo (Leo Glenn), The Mute (Irma Levy), and the Harpist (Sarah Mallick), completed this fine cast.

Musical numbers such as "Try to Remember," and "Soon It's Gonna Rain" brought to mind the bittersweet feelings of first love, brief separations, and tearful reunions.

Scheming fathers, a boy and a girl, a narrator who alternately brings things together and breaks them apart, only to bring them together again, make for an evening of fine entertainment that only Clarion can give.

"The Fantasticks" / /

The Clarion University Theatre Department presented the play "The Elephant Man" from No- vember 19-23, 1985 to the Clari- on audience.

Dr. Adam Weiss directed this sensitive story of the deformed John Merrick, who started out as a sideshow attraction and soon became the toast of England's elite.

Joel Walters' performance as John Merrick was so convincing, the audience felt as if they were observing the John Merrick, not an actor portraying the man. Da- vid Knopp portrayed Ross, Mer- rick's original "Manager" at the side show, who appears after Merrick has befriended the elite, expecting a little something for his initial, if not abusive, efforts to promote him.

Paul Linnan played Frederick Treves, the doctor who takes Merrick into the hospital and in- vites him to make it his home. He dictates Merrick's education, and introduces him to society and fe- male companionship. However, he must also wrestle with his own conscience as to his own motives for his efforts with Merrick.

Linda Conti portrayed Mrs. Ken- dal, the companion Treves thinks suitable for Merrick until she tries to give Merrick what Treves cannot.

Irmo Levy and Deborah Bortels appear as the Pinheads who fig- ure prominently in the dreams of John Merrick.

Garry Chopcion's sets, from the dismal sideshow to the hospital room, provided the proper atmo- sphere for the actions that took place.

"The Elephant Man" was yet another fine performance provid- ed forthe students and faculty of C.U.P. to/ the students and facul- ty of C.U.P.

Curtain Tims 8:13 p.m.

The Spring Musical Production for 1986 was the wonderfully rau- cous "Chicago." Through her choreography and direction. Col- leen Kelly, brought "Chicago" to life on the stage with all the splash and glitter of the Roaring 20's!

The show opens with Roxie Hart (Tina Marie Horrigan) doing away with her lover, Fred Casely (Ran- dy Duncan). At the urgings of her distraught husband, Amos Hart (Joel F. Walters), the renowned Billy Flynn (George Sheffey) agrees to represent Roxie in court — thereby keeping her name in every column of every major Chicago newspaper.

However, Roxie goes to jail, and once there, she meets up with Velma (Jennifer Higgins), a tough veteran of prison life.

The audience is introduced to all of the wonderful people in Roxie's new world, including the Merry Murderesses, who remi- nisce about the circumstances that landed them in jail with the unforgettable number, "Cell Block Tango." One of the more prominent figures in the prison is Matron Mama Morton, who re- minds everyone that "When You're Good to Mama" — she's good to you!

Roxie soon learns how to use the press to her advantage as she sees what a powerful role they play in her desire to get to the top. Chris Richards as Mary Sunshine, the tenderheort of the newspaper columnists, shook the audience up when they least ex- pected it!

The set design, orchestra, and the players all delivered the "Raz- zle Dazzle" that "Chicago" promises.

On April 22-26, 1986, the Clarion University players pre- sented Christopher Durang's play, "Baby With the Bathwa- ter," in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre.

Under the direction of Dr. Mary Hardwick and Howard- Vincent Kurtz, "Baby With the Bathwater" was brought to life chock-full of all the oddities, absurdities, and contradictions that good old America has to offer.

The play follows the key events in the life of Daisy (John Burja). As a newborn, Daisy is subjected to his parents' (Ja- mie Kemsey and Amy Jane Grier) faults. These faults take the form of ineptness, drug and alcohol addiction, and ti- midity in finding out the sex of their child. All of this adds up to an extremely bizarre childhood for Daisy.

Finally, Daisy undergoes in- tensive psychological counsel- ing, meets and marries a wom- an, Susan, and begins a family of his own.

Durang's spoof of the Ameri- can society was brought to the Clarion stage superbly by the fine direction and talented cast.

December 5 and 6. 1985

Curtain 6:16 p.m.

"We've got magic to do. just for you," was just one of the sev- eral memorable lyrics from the Lyric Theatre's performance of "Pippin."

Set in 780 A.D, near the Holy Roman Empire, "Pippin" tells the story of the Emperor Charle- magne's first-born son. Pippin. Pip- pin (played, in turn, by Gregg Salser, Paul Withrow, and Bill Reh- kopf), although handsome and talented, is plagued by the need to be "completely fulfilled." When Pippin attempts to "find himself" by becoming a scholar, soldier, playboy, and even em- peror, he either fails or grovv'S tired of his activity. He thus attempts to find something "extraordinary." After several trials and tribulations with his voluptuous step-mother, Fostida (played by Arlene Dan- doy and Renee Rehner), and half-brother, Lewis (Greg Reges- ter), he finally finds encourage- ment from his grandmother (Mary Retort, Mary Moore) and the Leading Player (Peter Livecchi). After singing a "Love Song" with Catherine (Dawn Kalgren, Rachel Clark, Amy Ebner), Pippin eventu- ally decides that a simple domes- tic life is suited for him.

With over 10 musical organiza- tions on campus, C.U.P. students were l<ept entertained all year long by band concerts, vocal pertor- monces, and musicals.

The C.U.P. bands hove come a long way in the past 25 years. From the early days when 20 members rehearsed in the Chapel, to 1986, when several different bands, with over 160 participating members, practiced in the "Bond Room" in Morwick-Boyd, a "tradition of excel- lence" has been maintained.

C.U.P. MARCHING BAND: with, as one student calls, the "friendly, yet professional rapport" between di- rectors and bond members, the en- thusiasm of the Golden Eagle Marching Band was seen by thou- sands this year. The band is com- prised of over 120 members. These participants include director "Doc" Stanley F. Michalski, Jr., assistant di- rector Lawrence Wells, officers Brad Adams, Rita Fdrere, Jean Lauver, and Dan Kemer, drum major Michael Sexauer, 14 silks headed by Debbie Chikosky and Michelle All- shouse, eight majorettes led by Sha- ri Rose, Golden Girl Joyce Mainhort, four managers, two photographers, and announcer Rob Altenburg. The Marching Bond draws members from virtually all majors. In fact, ap- proximately one-half of the partici- pants are not music majors.

Besides performing at all home and away football games, the or- ganization also provides the March- ing Bond Revue in November.

The dedication of the individuals in this group is seen not only in their performances, but also in the num- ber of hours spent practicing. Re- heorsals last from four p.m. to six p.m., three days a week.

Sounds Of Clarion

91

When you're caught up with your studying and teel like listening to the finest in live rock entertainnnent; when you're all partied out and feel it's time for an enlightening lecture with an emphasis on the topical and the profound; when a lazy Sunday evening rolls around and you're in the mood for some big-screen en- tertainment; when you're any of these, that's when Center Board steps in to provide social events de- signed to provide the Clarion stu- dent with a rich cultural and fun- filled experience.

Broken into six specialized com- mittees. Center Board is a student- run organization based in Riemer Center.

Known primarily for the many fine contemporary, classic, and cult films they bring to the campus, the Re- creation Committee also treated us to a Twister Tournament, a Cook Forest canoe trip excursion, and even a visit from Santa. "We recog- nize that there are many diverse in- terests on campus," says chairper- son Kothy Adams, "and we try to cater to as many as possible." Con- sidering two of the films seen on the campus screen were the smash hit "Ghostbusters" and the under- ground classic "Eraserheod," it seems the Recreation Committee is right on target.

Originally organized to bring pop- ular musical entertainment to the campus, Eric Hill's Pops Committee succeeded in this design hands down when they presented a triple bill that rocked Tippin Gymnasium off its foundation. The Long Ryders, The Outfield, and The Alarm left their audience with a spring concert they'll never forget. And what about September's laugh-a-minute night with Larry "Bud" Melman and Rich Hall? What next?

With a cultural slant towards the fine arts, the Center Arts Commit- tee chaired by Lisa Signorino pre- sented a season highlighted by an evening with Chuck Mangione and a dramatization of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Says Signorino, "The overwhelming student turnout for these shows and others proves there is definitely a campus audi- ence for this type of entertainment.

Barb Perkovich chairs the Coffee- house/Lecture Committee and it's their job to bring us the infamous "Sweet Thursday" mini-concerts. Plus, they allowed students and pro- fessional musicians to display their talents in a relaxed "coffeehouse" environment at the Riemer Eagles Den.

And speaking of Riemer Center, it's up to Valda Dodson and the hardworking crew of the House Af- fairs Committee to take care of the physical aspects of the snack bar, the game room, and the TV lounge. Besides a full schedule of video movies. House Affairs sponsored a fun-filled version of the Newlywed Game called Goin' Steady, plus a mouth-watering pie eating contest.

It's Homecoming in the fall and Miss C.U. in the spring that keeps Chrisanne Bradley and the Special Events Committee the most busy. The annual Madrigal Dinner in De- cember was especially well-re- ceived, and 1986 will be remem- bered as the year the big Winter Carnival was ushered in.

Thanks to the hardworking Board of 1985-86, a precedent of excite- ment has been set for years to come.

At the end of each semester, it would be nice if, just once, we could leave Clarion without having to fret over the pressures and worries of fin- als. Well, aside from the normal study-kind of final, some Art and Theatre majors do a different kind of final. Each of these majors' final se- mester at Clarion ends with a public showing of what they have learned.

As a course requirement, senior Art majors must display their artwork in the Sonford Gallery. The plans for each of these exhibits must be dis- cussed and finalized by a higher au- thority in the department the previ- ous semester.

In 1986, two senior art shows were held. The first show, held from April 30-May 9, was an exhibition of fiber- /fabrics and ceramics by Elizabeth Rycz and Cindy Plate. The second week of shows. May 9-16, was a display of ceramics and fiber/fa- brics by Sheila Pope and Don Reed. These shows proved what creativity and perception the four students possess.

Senior Theatre majors must at- tract an audience and display what they have learned on the stage. They act out short dramatic repre- sentations of their choice. This year's only performance of this kind took place in December, 1985, and was by Irma Levy. Levy performed sev- eral short skits, each with a riveting character portrayal.

JlISS CLARION UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT

Excitement and anticipation filled the Marwick-Boyd Auditori- um stage as 15 girls awaited the presentation of the runners-up and the coronation of Miss Clari- on University 1986.

Dana Mauro, a sophomore Business Administration/Market- ing major from Bethel Park, was crowned Miss C.U. on March 22, 1986, after a stunning dance rou- tine to the theme from "A Chorus Line." Freshman Maria Battista was named first runner-up, and juniors Wendy Ammerman and Rhonda Johnson, and freshman Janice Zawacki were named second through fourth runners- up, respectively.

The Miss C.U. Pageant opened with a musical number, "Singing in the Rain," performed by all 15 contestants. After the girls and the judges were introduced by emcees Beth Park and Greg Los- car, individual competitions- Evening Gown, Talent, and Swim- suit — helped the judges make what must have been a very diffi- cult decision. The contestants, who also included Roberta Mas- cari, Janet Cyphers, Melissa Waechter, Elizabeth Griffin, Elaine Pacley, Elizabeth Dornbrock, Car- rie Bregar, Renee Poliak, Diane Solinsky, and Evelynn Nadig, de- serve recognition for their poise, beauty, and talent. The intermis- sion show, an aerobic dance rou- tine, was as fast-paced and ex- citing as the competition. The pageant also had a touching moment as Miss C.U. 1985, Kim Heckman, gave her farewell ad- dress and passed her crown to Dana Mauro.

Football: An All- American Year

When we, this year's senior football players, got here at Clarion State Col- lege, we were young athletes trying to continue our education. Okay, maybe we were here nnainly to play football . . . and get a degree while we were at it. Since those days, a lot has changed. We now go to Clarion University, The Roost is now The Red Stallion, and there are no longer any good happy hours. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is our desire to win. Adding this

year's 8-2 season to the three previous seasons adds up to an impressive 31- 10 record. Not bad, considering we ploy in quite a tough conference!

The 1985 season started with high expectations. Spring ball had gone well, and when summer camp started, the seniors, as well as the rest of the team, were as primed as ever. We jelled early, and our camaraderie grew with every practice.

When Central State pulled into Me-

morial Stadium for the first game of the season, we had plans for sweet re- venge. Unfortunately, some fourth quarter turnovers ruined our 24-21 edge, and we were unable to regain our composure. The loss stunned us, but we quickly turned our thoughts to- ward the next game against Fairmont. We edged the Fairmont Falcons, 7- 2, in a game that set the pace for the rest of the year.

Next came Westminster. Kevin Hanon gave a boost to tine offense by racking up a career-high 154 yards. The defense played well, highlighted by Jerry Haslett's interception run back. The 18-14 decision hurled us into the conference opener v^'ith Shippens- burg University.

At the half, the Shippensburg team u'as holding its own, but soon let go, allowing us to beat them convincingly, 23-7.

For fourteen years, California State has been trying to beat us. After two quarters of frustrating football, it looked as if this was their year. We were down 23-3. In the locker room at the half, nothing was said and no

changes were made, but something happened that can't be described. In the second half we just knocked the shinola out of them, and left the field that day with a 24-23 victory.

With the win over California under our belts and a 4-1 record. Slippery Rock hadn't a prayer. A 43-0 Home- coming triumph tells the whole story.

With all we had going for us, who would have ever expected what hap- pened when we played I.U.P.? Not I, not any of us. It was a well-played game, but we wound up on the short end. Their running up the score didn't help matters.

We didn't quit, though. Edinboro found that out the hard way, 26-7.

Our last game found Cheyney at our

disposal. A score of 36-8 sure was a nice way to leave the home crowd.

With only the gome against Lock Ha- ven to go. Coach Sobolewski started to have some fun. He added the three "D" offense: DeJuliis, Dickson, and Duf- fy. Talk about an awesome backfield! We beat Lock Haven, 23-13.

Overall, 8-2 is a record to be proud of, and 31-10 is a record to be damn proud of. Congratulations team, espe- cially seniors, you did Clarion proud. -Gerald Dickson (C.U.P. center '83, '84, '85)

Netters Produce Best Year Ever

It was a winning season for the Clari- on Women's Tennis Team. Headed by Coach Norbert Baschnagel, it was a season of team bests as Clarion ended regular play with a 9-4 record. It was the best record in the history of wom- en's tennis here at Clarion since the team was founded.

Victorious in the first five matches, the season looked bright for the Eagle women from the start. Their first loss went to the strong Lock Haven team, and before the end of the regular play

they dropped only three more matches.

The highlight of the tennis season came on the weekend of October 18- 19 in Hershey, PA at the PSAC Champi- onships. After the first day of action, the Eagle team found themselves in an impressive second place following per- formances by senior Lynne Eye, sopho- more Susan Eritz, and freshmen Jeanne Cancelliere, Jane Bender, and Debbie McAdoms. All advanced to semi-final competition after handing out major

Mlk« Bordo

upsets. Overall, the Eagle women fin- ished fifth in the PSAC's, and it was the team's best showing ever in a state championship match.

Coach Baschnagel attributed the team's success in 1985 to many fac- tors, including an upgraded recruiting system and a newly initiated off-sea- son training program. However, he mainly stressed the outstanding lead- ership of co-captains Lynne Eye, recip- ient of the season's Golden Eaglette Award, and Susan Eritz. Coach Basch- nagel pointed out, as well, that his team is "made up of hard-working stu- dent athletes who possess good atti- tudes about their sport."

And what of next season after such an impressive showing in 1985? Coach Baschnagel feels that now that the team is respected as a "tennis force," it is time to build onto what has been established. With all but one player, se- nior Lynne Eye, returning, it looks as though the Lady Eagles will be a force to contend with.

Undefeated Wrestle - Mania

As tradition lived on, it was one out- standing stiow by Clarion's Golden Grapplers. Ranked #13 nationally go- ing into the 1985-86 season, it was not going to be an easy season as they were up against six of the nationally rated top 10 teams, but all the some the Eagle nnen proudly finished with a victorious season. Not only did the grapplers end with their first undefeat- ed record, 17-0-1, but at one point the team was ranked at an impressive #3 Division I national standing.

In this. Coach Bob Bubb's twentieth season as an Eagle head coach, what was it that kept his team on top and high in notional standings? It was un- doubtedly a combination of Bubb's strong leadership and team experi- ence. Six of the returning veterans came into the season nationally ranked: senior Jim Beichner and junior Ken Haselrig both ranked at #5; senior Ken Nellis, #8, junior Paul Clark, #11; and sophomores Nate Carter and Mike Cole ranked #17 and #18, re- Vlckle Clement*

spectively. Leading the squad were co-captains Beichner, coming Into the season as a two-time Division I All- American, and Nellis o three-time Ail- American.

The veteran experience of this Eagle team was evident from the start. The grapplers opened the season with an impressive home win over #4-ranked Oklahoma State, the first in a long line of strong opponents. Throughout the season, the Golden Eagles handed de-

feats to such highly rated teams as #8 Wisconsin, #3 Penn State, #10 Syra- cuse, #6 University of Michigan, and #9 Bloomsburg. Clearly, it was one of the Eagles' toughest season ever, and one in vi/hich success called for much respect.

Of tne seven wrebtlers who entered the NCAA finals in Bloomsburg, three earned first place honors: Clark, Cole, and sophomore Dave Cowan. Also qualifying in Bloomsburg were Beichner, Nellis, Haselrig, Carter, and Kirk Butryn, who received a wild-card spot to qualify as the eighth Clarion

wrestler. These eight men comprised the squad representing Clarion at the NCAA Division I Tournament held at the University of Iowa on March 13-15, 1986. This was the first time that the Division i competition was broadcast in its entirety by ABC Sports, "our style" as they finished in a disap- pointing 28th position.

Still, regular season was enough to outshine any disappointments suffered in Iowa. Beichner and Nellis both sur- passed the 100 win plateau. Beichner, with an Eagle career record of 125-22, now shares impressive second place

honors in Clarion wins with former heavy-weight Chuck Corylea (72-76). Nellis, at 113-27-5, has respectably moved into the sixth place position. Butryn, with a career record of 69-46- 2, had his best season ever. Clark, Car- ter, Cole, Haselrig, Cowan, and sopho- more Phil Mary, all finishing with strong seasons, will return as the experienced core of next season's squad. Willie Warren and Charles Royer will also gain veteran standing and will help carry on the Golden Eagle winning tradition.

Golden Spikers Face Tough Schedule

The 1985-86 Clarion University Gold- en Eagle Volleyball Team finished with a 25-13 record. The team spent most of the season ranked in the top five in the Atlantic Region, which consists of five states including New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and Delaware, Accord- ing to Coach Sharon Oleksak, "Our re- cord does not reflect the play of the team." She said that "this was the toughest competitive schedule in my five years of coaching at Clarion."

During 1985-86, the team played in a tournament at the U.S. Naval Acad-

emy in which the team won the conso- lation bracket. The team also took second place in both the Walsh Col- lege Tournament and the Liberty Uni- versity tourney in Virginia. However, the toughest competition this year came from Slippery Rock University, "a team that was dominated by seniors," according to Coach Oleksak.

This year's Eagle team was a "nice mixture of athletes. The team consist- ed of two seniors, three juniors, one sophomore, and four freshmen. The two senior leaders of the team were

Ed Donovan

Joyce Kozusko and Suzie Seonor. As far as outstanding players go. Coach Oleksak said that "to pick on out- standing player would be impossible since the entire team played out- standing ball on any given day."

The eight returning players will pro- vide a solid foundation for next year, and Oleksak thinks next year's team should be a "serious conference contender."

Of 1985-86, Oleksak said, "It was a good year and I had an excellent group of young ladies to coach."

Late-Season Surge Sends Clarion To Play-Offs

Faced with an extremely toughi schedule, the Clarion University Men's Basketball Team got oft to a difficult start, but ended the season trium- phantly by qualifying for the PSAC playoffs. The team was faced with tough competition from such teams as Cleveland State, Youngstown State, Gannon, and Mercyhurst.

The Golden Eagles, led by Coach Richard Taylor, had their share of mis-

W\^Li

haps during the season. Two freshmen, Brian Kiefer and Tom Lupertosa, both suffered injuries early in the season, causing the team the loss of two valu- able players. However, discourage- ment did not set in. Faced with the loss of those players and other troubles like inconsistent shooting and inconsistent defensive play, the Golden Eagles re- alized their weaknesses and over- came them. Coach Taylor said of the

Senior captain Terry Smith closed out a fine season this year at Clari- on. He finished 16th on the all-time scoring list and 8th on the rebound- ing parade.

In '85-'86, Coach Taylor saw his team get off to a 5-16 start, then run off five straight wins, including four in the conference, to help them qualify for the playoffs.

One aspect of the game that goes unnoticed is the rough action in the middle. Here "World" Dupree tries to establish position against Edinboro.

"Ah. I don't mind not getting any attention," Jeff Harvey seems to be saying. But it's people like Jeff, who works behind the scenes at each game, that deserve some attention!

Communication between team- mates is important to any team, and guard Eric Pinno knows this as he relays info to Mark Engrom.

Junior forv/ard Mark Engrom was a second team All-Confer- ence selection, and was second on the Eagle team in re- bounds and points, behind captain Terry Smith.

In only his sophomore year, forward Ciaran Lesikar made great strides in his game. Here he finishes up a good move to the hoop.

Freshman "World" Dupree is slightly outnumbered, but still manages to put up a shot against "The Rock."

Freshman guard Brian Kiefer was a pleasant surprise for Clari- on before suffering a season-ending knee injury. In 1 1 games, Brian led Clarion in assists and hit over 56% of his field goals.

(con't from p. 112)

Terry Smith, captain of the Golden Eagles, had an outstanding season. Smith was the Eagles' leading scorer and rebounder, and also hod the high- est shooting percentage of the year. Smith wound up the season ranked 16th in all-time Eagle scoring history. Also helping to lead the Golden Eagles in 1986 were freshman Mark Engram, the season's second-highest scorer and rebounder, and junior Eric Pinno. The Clarion Golden Eagles proved themselves a strong team in 1985-86, and with the Eagles only losing one se- nior, we look forward to an impressive season for 1986-87. Go get 'em. Eagles!

HOOPS; THE START OF SOMETHING BIG

A young Clarion Women's Basketball team proved to have its ups and downs during the 1985-86 season. The early part of regular play saw the Lady Eagles with fewer wins than losses, but as the season drew to an end, the Eagle team turned things around. Nu- merous victories were added to their record, and the season was ended at 11-15.

The bulk of this year's squad, co- captained by sophomore Brenda Kelly and junior Vol Hutton, consisted largely

of freshmen and sophomores, with only two returning juniors and no seniors. As Coach Doris Black pointed out, "Al- though it was a young team, the wom- en began to perform like a veteran ball team as the season progressed." This was evident as the Lady Eagles worked to surpass the 1984-85 4-20 re- cord and last place standing in Divison II with this year's fourth place finish.

Highlights of the season included sur- prisingly close losses to outstanding teams as well as respectable wins over other highly rated ball clubs. A big win came for the Clarion women over Lock Haven, the only team to defeat first place Slippery Rock. Clarion also earned their biggest-margin win in the history of the team when they stomped Pitt-Bradford. The continual improvement of the team culminated near season's end when the Lady Ea- gles came very close to turning in a major upset agains Division I Akron. The Eagles trailed them closely throughout the game to lose by only seven points.

Leading the team in on-floor perfor- mances were sophomore Lisa Mc- Adoo and freshman Cherly Bansek. McAdoo tallied a total of 250 points, 164 rebounds, and captured the high- est field goal average of the team. McAdoo's efforts were honored as she was named to the First Team All-Tour- nament Team in the Shippensburg Snowflake Classic Tournament. Ban- sek, in her first Clarion season, finished the year with the team high of 276 points, as well as turning in excellent percentages in rebounds and blocked shots.

In retrospect, it was a successful season for the women's squad. As a fresh, young club, they markedly im- proved over last year's team record and standing. If winning five of their last six season games is any indication of what to expect from the Lady Eagles next year, then it certainly looks like a winning season in 1986-87.

Coach Bill English speaks highly of his 1985 Cross-Country squad, calling them hard workers and dedicated run- ners. Putting in between 80 and 100 miles of running a week does take hard work and dedication, and it showed up as the Eagle Land Rovers brought home a 6-2 dual meet record. Senior Doug McConnell and juniors Jim Snyder and Greg Garstecki were the nucleus of this year's squad as they consistent- ly ran in the front of the pack. Jim Sny- der ran extremely well this year, plac- ing seventh at the State Championships and also getting a new course record at Bloomsburg, with a 24.58 time on the five-mile course.

Coach English was extremely pleased with his top runners and is ex- cited about his underclassmen. Next year's squad should prove as success- ful as this year's, with plenty of talent returning and also Coach English's 66% career winning ratio.

Coach English commented, "Look- ing at the season, the girls are all dedi- cated. Even though we were small in number, each girl put in her all and it is this type of attitude on which we will build our women's distance program."

Clarion University's 1985-86 Wom- en's Cross-Country Team was strong, and with the promise of growth in 1986-87, they will be back in full force next season.

In his 14th season. Coach Bill English was extremely pleased with his 1986 men's Track Team, Although a rela- tively small squad this year's individual achievements were quite impressive, including Gino Craig's new Clarion tri- ple jump record at the State Champi- onships, leaping 47'3".

The distance runners, who were the strength of the team, were led by a group of dedicated road runners. Se- nior Doug McConnell showed superb stamina in his national qualifying time of 9:08.5 in the steeplechase at the state championships. Juniors Jim Sny- der and Greg Gorstecki shined as well in their distance events, the 5000 and 10,000 meters. Snyder set a new school record in the 5000, 14:51, and also ran a strong 32:02 10,000 meter at the state championships.

This year's sprinters, a foursome of fine freshmen, showed considerable promise for the future. Ed Howell, Terry Hughley, Rod Joseph and Jeff Wado- vick are all names to watch in the next three years.

Coach English has again assembled a group of quality athletes. With the depth English has, we can expect an- other fine season next year.

Clarion's Favorite IVIascot

The Golden Eagle

Some call him the "yellow chicken," some coll him a crazy nut, but however one puts it, the Clarion University mas- cot is the zany Golden Eagle.

A friend to many, especially the chil- dren who attend the sporting events, the Golden Eagle always has a handful of surprises. During the football season one can see him doing push-ups to match the Clarion scoreboard, or throwing out souvenir footballs. As the sport seasons go on, he changes his big bulky-toed feet into his bright or- ange Converse tennis shoes in prepa- ration for hoop season and wrestle- mania.

Fans con watch him climb the ceiling when Mark Engram slam-dunks the basketball, or give pointers to his fa- vorite referees. During wrestling, his fa-

vorite antic is to slide across the gym floor and give a three-count when a C.U.P. wrestler pins an opponent.

Although not many people know his true identity, no one is complaining. For he gives smiles, good times, and even a great deal of anticipation with his routines.

However one looks at it, the Clarion University Golden Eagle is no chicken when it comes to C.U.P. athletics!

Cheerleaders

Dear Cheerleaders,

Over my four years here at Clarion, I have participated in football and have had the pleasure of watching many basketball and wrestling contests. All three of these sports have two things in common. All of the teams win, and all have the privilege of be- ing supported by many women and men who work hard to moke it all happen. Your cheering and spirit-raising are directly relat- ed to our success. All the time you have spent making favors, decorating locker rooms, painting banners, practicing, and cheering does pay off when our Clarion teams win. When we do not, your under- standing and persistence encourage us to continue.

I, speaking for all of us associated, would like to formally express our appreciation and thanks for all the hard work and dedi- cation you have shown in the past. Your efforts do mean something to us. Thanks again for doing what you do so well. In our eyes you are always winners.

Gymnasts Look To Future

The women's Gymnastics ream at Clarion is looking aggressively to the future, and is attempting to build some depth.

The team is trying to develop a "hunger to be , better," said Head Coach Jay Smith. Now in his second year at Clarion, Coach Smith has ex- cellent qualifications for the job. He came here from an assistant coach position at West Virginia University. Pri- or to that, he spent a great deal of time coaching at clinics and directing his own private gymnastics clubs in such states as Arizona, Calilfornia, Col-

orado, and Utah. His ultimate goal is to rebuild his Clarion team to its 1976-77 level when Clarion won the A.I.A.W. Division I National Team Championship.

Next year could be the season when the team makes a major move to- wards that goal. With the loss of only one senior, and the recruitment of sev- eral freshman to fill weak spots. Clari- on's team should hove greater depth and experience.

During the summer of 1986, Coach Smith and the team members will run the Second Annual Clarion University Golden Eagle Gymnastics Camp. "De-

veloping a successful summer camp will be a big step in moving Clarion back to the top in gymnastics," Smith stated.

The team ended the 1985-86 sea- son with a 5-5 record. This, however, belies the many personal improve- ments made by team members. Also, a new team single meet record of 174.15 was set this year.

In the coming season. Clarion's Gymnastics Team will be exciting to watch as the women move towards their goals and achieve them.

Making A Splash In '85- '86

It was a young team in 1985-86, since seven of the 19 members were freshmen, yet under the direction of Coach Bill Miller, the Men's Swimming and Diving Team ended the season with a respectable 7-4 record. Among the more outstanding performances were the team's wins over conference rivals Shippensburg University, Kutz-

town University, Edinboro University, and I.U.P.

It seemed that the season, which in- cluded two weeks of intense training in Florida over Christmas Break, were geared toward producing the best team to compete at the State Cham- pionship Meet hosted by Clarion on February 27-29, 1986. This Eagle effort

paid off. For the 16th consecutive sea- son, the Swimming and Diving Team captured the State Conference title, turning in a number of outstanding na- tional qualifying performances.

These Eagle men, and others who qualified in 2nd and 3rd positions, then headed to the NCAA National Cham- pionship Meet in Orlando, Florida in

Another Winning Season!

"It was a great mixture of young and old," said Coach Becky Leas of the 1985-86 Women's Swimming and Div- ing Team. Ending the year with an 8-2 record, suffering losses only to Penn State and Pitt, the Lady Eagles made it another winning season.

Swimming for the Eagle team were veterans junior Tina Bair, coming into the season as the country's top return- ing swimmer, senior co-captains A'Liso Woicicki, Sue Lynn Langdon, and Kim

Hayes. Among Clarion's newest talents were freshmen Teri Messenger, Sandra Crousse, and Pam Griffin.

Yet it was not without the diving contingent that the women's team reached such success. As Coach Becky Leas commented, the diving team, coached by Donald Leas, is a "tremendous asset as a strong scoring buffer" for the entire team. And again, it was a mixture of young and old. Led by sophomore standout Dori Mamalo,

ranked as the country's top returning diver coming into the season, and ju- nior Jennifer Faust. The team also found talent among freshmen Vicki Hoffman, Belinda Wolf, Kathy Mulrow, and Katie Macintosh.

Post-season action found the Lady Eagles adding to their impressive per- formances. Hosting the State Confer- ence Meet on February 20-22, the Ea- gle women captured their Hth straight State Championship title.

Among the many honors that week- end: four of six new state swimming records were set by Bair, Mamalo broke a 1975 1-meter board record previously held by a 1984 Olympic bronze medalist; and the divers mode school history by sweeping the top eight positions on the 3-meter board. Throughout the season, the team qualified six individuals, eight divers, and five relay teams — the only team in the country to qualify all five relays —

for the NCAA Division II National Com- petition in Orlando, Florida on March 12-15. Once more, their victories mounted. The Lady Eagles captured their 8th overall Division II Champion- ship title. Scoring points in the pool were Woicicki, Hayes, Messenger, Crousse, Griffin, Gwen Kielar, Betsy Mc- Clure, Sue Gallagher, and Trish Barber. On the boards were Hoffman, Wolf, and Macintosh. The team leaders in Orlando were no surprise. Bair earned

Cheryl Emmert i

her 21st All- American status with three individual second places and as an- chor in four relays, and Mamalo won both boards and set a new record, scoring points on the 1 -meter board. Mamalo was voted "Female Diver of the Year." Both girls' performances took them to the NCAA Division I Com- petition at the University of Arkansas.

Fire Success:

Shooters Hove Fine Season

The 1986 C.U.P. Rifle Team had an- other fine year. The ten-member team was led this year by Greg Fiscus, Mike Sherk, and Mark Sadecki, who oil shot consistently throughout the season.

The season's highlight came when

Clarion scored a victory over Indiana University of PA. The Eagle shooters out-shot the Indians 1298 to 1254.

Although the Rifle Team may not be the best-known team on the Clarion

campus, it is a successful varsity group that earns the respect of other com- peting schools.

1986 CUP. Baseball

Clarion University is proud to support one of the finest groups of men on the campus — the C.U.P. Baseball Team. This past PSAC-Western Title winning team, headed by Coach Barry McCauliff and Assistant Coach Rich Herman, has shown excellence both in ability and determination. This tradition of excellence showed up in the men's commendable effort during the 1986 season.

The Eagle team is made up of a large group of enthusiastic players, all devoting their best to the gome. Among the standout players this sea- son was junior Cary Grubb, third base-

man and a three-year starter. Grubb showed his skill by being named "Play- er of the Year" by a vote of the league coaches. "I think Cory is ex- tremely deserving of this honor," re- flected Barry McCauliff. "An outstand- ing young man, he is a tremendous individual both on and off the field," added the proud Eagle coach.

Other outstanding players include Scott Traynor, a three-year starting shortstop; Bill Hershman, a four-year starting pitcher; and Ed Rhoades, a second year right fielder. These three men were named to the PSAC-West first team, along with Cary Grubb.

The end of the season brings an un- fortunate loss to any team — the loss of the senior players. Clarion baseball said good-bye this year to four-year letter-winner and starter, Jeff Willy; two-year starter at first base. Gene Bowen; and Wayne Souffrant, the 1986 Eagle co-captain.

Season's end also begins prepara- tion for the coming year, and alth- ought the team is losing some valuable players, it will be gaining some promis- ing new athletes. All of us look forward to another great Clarion baseball sea- son in 1987.
