For this reason, several programs have been established to help get students home safely. Probably the most familiar program is Dial-A-Ride, a service started in 1980, which provides transportation to anyone who needs to get across campus late at night and does not want to walk alone. Last year, Dial-A-Ride spent $19,000 transporting over 15,000 people across campus, of which almost 13,000 were women. Ronald A. Soltis, manager of Vehicle Office and Park­ ing, described Dial-A-Ride as “a service designed to help you out, to assist you here while you’re at school.” Soltis said Dial-A-Ride uses two vans to pick people up after they have called in and spoken to the dispatcher. The dispatcher then sends the vans out to pick them up usually on a first-come, first-serve basis. “Use it! Use it!” stressed Soltis. “But then again if you don’t have^e use it, allow the next person who has to use it use it for their needs.” Occasionally the services of Dial-A-Ride are misused. Soltis said sometimes people will try and use it as a taxi service to take them shopping or home when they have been drinking, but the drivers will not transport them. Besides the occasional misuse of the services the program sometimes runs into other minor problems like a downed vehicle or short staff. “I’m happy with the program but not really over y satisfied,” Soltis commented. “I’d like to see it improved, but we’re looking into things.” One of the things being looked into is having designated pick-up areas around campus, where a shuttle would n n continuously. Another escort program called StateWalk was intro­ duced to MSU in the spring of 1991. StateWalk is an on-campus walking service providing a team of two volunteers to walk with people late at night on campus so they do not have to be out alone. Lionel Bashore, Dana Brail and A1 Elderman were all instrumental in getting StateWalk, a program of the Resi­ dence Hall Association, together. The program got off to a slow start, Brail said, “But it’s not lack of care, it’s lack of publicity.” After an article appeared on the front page of the State News in May 1991 stating the program lacked the necessary applications for volunteer walkers, several people immedi­ ately signed up. StateWalk began a few weeks after the article, as an f§ I 1 I i 4Tm happy with the program but not really overly satisfied. I’d like to see it improved, but we’re looking into things” -Ronald A. Solitis, manager of Vehicle Office and Parking out-service from the main library, and had plans to include services from at least two of the residence halls beginning in fall 1991. “My ultimate goal,” Brail said, “is to see the whole campus blanketed, and be able to be available to people who want to use the program.” Brail said he believed the program is unique. Sit’s a pro­ gram of students, for students by students,” she said. The MSU Greek System has also jumped on the campus safety bandwagon. Many of the fraternity houses and a majority of the sorority houses offer some kind of safety ride program for its members so they can get home from parties safely. Alison Bregstein, President of Panhel, said many of the so­ rorities have already taken the initiative on their own to provide a program to make sure no one drives home drunk. Bregstein said, “It’s success­ ful for some houses so others do it too. It also serves as a deterrent to walking alone at night and driving drunk.” LEFT: Students face unpredictable dangers when walking alone both on and off campus.

Christina Schuck Christina Schuck Monika Jones (belo wj MSU students scramble to pay for school in a by Ruqaiyah Rogers Financing a degree from Michigan State University is a worry for many students. There are a variety of ways to pay for school, including parental assistance, scholarships, financial aid in the form of grants and loans, and work. According to the 1989-90 Michigan State University Annual Expenditure Report from the Office of Financial Aids, almost $90 million was administered by the financial aid office that year and about 50 percent of the students at MSU, or about 21,000 people, receive some type of financial assistance. Elizabeth Jensen and Charles Vellenga were both Alumni Distinguished Scholarship recipients. The scholarship is a full-tuition award which pays for room, board and fees for up to 16 credits each term for 12 terms. The selection for the scholarship is based on grade point averages, ACT and SAT scores, and a test. About 1000 high school seniors are invited to take the test annually. The top ten scorers are given this academic scholarship. Jensen, a history se­ nior, said she was very surprised when she re­ ceived the scholarship three years ago. “I was freaked out Jensen said. “I know that there are a lot of things that I wouldn ’ t be able to do if I hadn’t received the scholar­ ship. It makes life much easier at college.” Jensen explained she would have had to work and take out loans if she had not received the scholarship. Vellenga, a James Madison and mathematics junior, said he would have taken a year off to work and supplemented the work money with loans if he had not received the scholar­ ship. “I feel very fortunate knowing the number of students who have to work and take out loans to go to school,” Vellenga said. “The money is out there, but it is hard to find.” Many other students pay for their own schooling by working, taking loans, or both. Joetta Swain, a social science/pre-law junior, has worked on campus for three years to pay for school expenses. Swain said she works about 20 to 25 hours per week. “The little time I have left when I’m not working I take advantage of by studying,” Swain said. “Instead of sleeping in or taking naps, I study. I value the payoffs that working provides. I work hard to get ahead.” Theresa Beeker, a psychology and German junior, works as a counselor at Gateway Community Service and as a waitress at El Azteco. She said she works approximately 25 hours a week. “It is difficult to handle school and work,” Beeker said. “I have to really pace myself. I can never slack off or I’d never be able to catch up.” Beeker said she also received financial aid to supplement her jobs. Eric Claiborne, a food systems, economics and manage­ ment senior said he also worked two jobs and like the others, said he had to manage his time efficiently. He is a clerk at Hubbard’s manager’s office and a lab attendant at the Veterinary Clinic. Claiborne said he also has a loan, and said he believes the government should help subsidize students’ educations. “In some parts of Europe the government helps the students and the most the students pay is $300,” Claiborne said. “America is sup­ posed to be such a rich country and you can’t afford a chance to get a college education. To­ day a high school diploma just isn’t enough.” Regina Smith, an ad­ vertising junior, said she had to take off two terms for lack of money. She works on campus at the Center for Integrated Studies in the humanities department. “For the first two years I paid for my own expenses,” Smith said. “I have no choice but to work and take out loans.” “My advice to people is if you know you want to go to college, you should kart planning for finances early,” Smith said. William Kenney, Associate Director of Financial Aid at MSU, said he understands the financial plight of college students. “I have empathy for the students and their families who have to go through the financial aid process. It is very complex and confusing,” Kenney said. He said much information is asked for that the average person doesn’t know how to find. “The process is necessary and it makes us look like the bad guys, but we wouldn’t have it this way if we had control,” he said. “However, we must adhere to regulations. These regulations are set up to insure taxpayers that this money is going to needy students.” Kenney said federal and state aid is not declining. “The actual dollars available through federal and state resources hasn’t declined,” he said.P‘ But it hasn’t kept pace with increasing prices and costs.” 4«.*(» It. ' ¿till Ì iìi'.ì! ' ti t ri ll i An Out Now! member displays a sign expressing the group's sympa­ thies for the war's casualties. Out Now! was one of the only groups that voiced their opinions as early as August. allied forces were not willing to meet these conditions, and so the war con­ tinued. Before the ground war started, it was announced that 800 Iraqi armored personnel carriers, 1,100 pieces of ar­ tillery, 1,300 tanks, and 650 to 700 planes had been destroyed. It was also reported that the anti-Saddam coali­ tion had about 1,325 Iraqi POW’s. March 11 Before the start of the ground war, Hussein was given 24 hours to think and then seven days to withdraw from Kuwait. Instead, he chose to set about 500 Kuwait oil wells on fire and ex­ ecute Kuwait City civilians. The coalition responded with the start of the ground war on Sunday. The ground war would only last 100 hours, but it proved to be the largest ground attack since World Warn. According to an article in the March 11 issue of U.S. News and World Report, “The U.S. Army’s 24th Infantry Division formed the spearhead of the attack.” The Iraqi forces were quickly destroyed in the ground war. British and Ameri­ can troops waged a fierce battle against the Republican Guard located along the Iraq-Kuwait border. In a March 4, Newsweek article, Gen. Norman j Schwarzkopf said, "More than 5,500 prisoners had been taken in the early fighting. Hundreds of Iraqi troops re­ portedly raised white flags before the allies even reached their positions. The end of the war came after 100; hours of ground attack when President! Bush declared victory. Hussein con-1 tinually tried to insist that Iraq was victorious. The truth was Iraq’s army was too defeated to continue fighting. According to a March 11 article in Newsweek, the coalition now only had to wait for “the Iraqi dictator to 1 personally and publicly accept all 12 ■ of the United Nations resolutions passed against him, admitting that he; had been wrong to invade Kuwait and ‘ acknowledging that he and his army were beaten.” After the war'sendthecoahtionhad to keep the peace and this included keeping some Western forces in the ■ area for several months. The U.N. arms embargo, and the war crimes that occurred were other issues that had to be discussed and decided. Above: Demonstrators march on Washington D.C.

Many MSU students were active in sup­ porting the soldiers in the Gulf by participating in war support groups. Some groups spon­ sored rallies and other demon­ stration while others conveyed information about the Middle East crisis to the MSU popu­ lation. One such group was the Arab Student Organization. ASO member Tom Rifai said the group didn’t take sides during the war, but acted as a key source of information for students. “We were an essential network for Arab-Americans and informing the MSU cam­ pus in general,” said Rifai. “We quenched some of the thirst for knowledge about the war and tried to present the Arab history. We didn’t take sides,” he said. The ASO was created in the spring of 1990 to provide education and awareness about the Arab-Americans and their history. During the Gulf War, the group acted as a vehicle to convey information about the Middle East crisis by dormi­ tory presentations and other information-distribution ac­ tivities. Another group associated with the war was the United Students Association (USA). The group was formed on the first night of the war as a re­ sponse to the protectors on campus andnegative reactions from students. Rachel Strelecky, the USA Chairper­ son for Activities, Organiza­ tion, and Public Outreach, said the group was in full support of the U.N. policy concerning Kuwait. “We were a pro-policy group working towards peace in the Middle East and edu­ cating the MSU campus,” she said. “We fully supported the U.N. resolution to liberate Kuwait. We felt there was another voice that needed to be expressed.” USA researched the prob­ lems in the Middle East and delivered the information to the public. The group took part in a “speakout” at Lansing Community College to show their support for the war. Vietnam veterans were also involved. Strelecky insisted that the purpose of the various support and protest groups was not to cause controversy, but to discover the right choices concerning war. “The forming of these groups was trying to figure out what the rational choice was,” she said. Another major support group on campus was Support Our Soldiers (SOS). President Julie Kaminski founded the group after attending a vigil at Beaumont Tower. Kaminski said she did not have relatives in the Gulf, but knew others who did. “I had people that I was close to who had people over there,” she explained. “I was sharing their suffering and wanted to do something for them.” SOS has approximately 40 members andheld vigils every Sunday night at Beaumont Tower. Speakers such as Moses Turner and President JohnDiBiaggio attended these vigils to show their support. The group has also sent care packages to units in the Gulf. SOS is continuing their support of the soldiers because as Kaminski stated, there are still soldiers in the Middle East. “People don’t realize that there are still men and women over there and they will be over there for two years or more. We want to thank and commemorate these soldiers and make people aware that there are still Americans over there.” One campus group showed their support not through demonstrations or rallies, but through prayer. Operation Desert Prayer was a collegiate group of the East Lansing Trinity Church who prayed for the soldiers and their families. People wishing for prayers for their loved ones dropped off index cards with information about their soldiers to the prayer group. Each member was then assigned a soldier to pray for. Co-organizer Laura Raimondi said the groups concern for MSU students, with loved ones in the Gulf, promoted their activities. “We were concerned for the people on campus and wanted to do somethingto help them. That was the best we could do,” Raimondi said. She also said the group has kept in touch with the soldiers they prayed for. “We’ve kept in contact. Friendships have developed,” she said. The Persian Gulf War was difficult for everyone, but it did give students a chance to voice their opinions and be heard. In a large and diverse university such as Michigan State, this is important. ur BS ■ Top: A member of MSU's ROTC program sits on the steps in front of the Military Sciences building on campus. Members of the ROTC program and employ­ ees of the Military Recruitment center received the brunt of some of the anti-war protestors criticisms as the conflict in the gulf progressed. MSU students organized several relief efforts for the troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, including the S.O.S. program as well as distributing yellow ribbons for students to tie to their dorm room doors. MSU ROTC members practice drills on campus. Persian Gu Protestors demand: "Out Now" by Anne Brandenburg Out Now, an MSU organi­ zation opposed to U. S. inter­ vention in the Middle East, had major goals before, during and after the Gulf War. The group, relatively small in the beginning, began pro­ testing at the Federal Building in Lansing early in August 1990whenPresidentBush first deployed U. S. Troops into the Persian Gulf. Membership exploded once the war began. “All we want is for our soldiers to come home,” Heather Foren, active member of Out Now said. “’’And even though the war is over, many of the troops are still there.” Out Now wanted an im­ mediate withdrawal of troops from Kuwait and a discussion of a peaceful solution through the United Nations and Arab League. The organization supported the troops but op­ posed military action. At the beginning of MSU’s 1990-91 school year, OutNow sponsored teach-ins, debates, protests and an information table in the MSU Union to help educate students. ANovember teach-in filled aBerkey Hall room with about 200 students and many more listened from the hall to learn about the possibility of war. Out Now! was opposed to a war for oil and Bush’s com­ mitment of troops without a public debate. “We were all concerned for what was about to happen, “ Foren said. “The speakers were very interesting and I learned much more about the situa­ tion.” Just before the war, many protests and marches empted on campus. Students chanted “U. S. Troops out now!” and “Peace now!." Students marched through residence halls shouting anti-war slogans to get their message across. Upon learning about the U.S. attack on Iraq, more pro­ tests filled the campus. About 150 peace-supporters gathered around Sparty and blocked the intersection for three hours. “All we are saying is give peace a chance,” Out Now members sang. There were protests almost everyday as soon as the Gulf War began. About800people, mostly members of Out Now, rallied in People’s Park and then marched to Air Force ROTC offices in Bessey Hall on the second day of the war. A peaceful sit-in followed in the lobby of Bessey until 10 p.m., when police warned Out Nowtoexitthebuilding. Most of the protesters left to go to the Peace Education Center. “All we were doing was working hard for what we be­ lieve in,” Joe Flaherty, Out Now member said. “We want the government to know that wedidnotbacktheir decisions. We supported the troops, but not Bush.” Out Now members made trips to Washington, D. C. the first two weekends after the invasion. ‘Traveling to D. C. meant a lot to us,” Flaherty said. “And it was a very effective way for peace-supporters all over the nation to gettogetherandvoice our opinion.” Speakers for the teach-ins included Joanne Severinec, history junior and President of Out Now; Zolton Ferency, MSU Professor of Criminal Justice; EzraHyland, AS ONE advisor; and Beth Roth, Ann Arbor draft counselor. The end of the war did not stop Out Now. Rick Kohn, spokesperson for the group, is not sure if or when Out Now will stop meeting. Members say the war is over but the issue is not. OutNow continues to meet once a week to discuss the effects of the Gulf War and other political events. This protestor brought only a toe tag to the demon­ stration to put across the message he wanted to relay. Demonstrations for and against the gulf war took place all over campus. The most visible of the demonstrators were those in opposition to the war, with some conflict between war supporters and protestors erupting. siati Gulf Protestors of the gulf war staged a "die-in", which involved not only this display of a coffin, but also demonstrators acting as medical personnel failing to find the heartbeats or pulses of play­ acted soldiers. East Lansing residents up in arms as city "bans" war support by Colleen Phelan East Lansing officials saprked patriotic back­ lash in mid-February with a policy banning the display of Persian Gulf wwar-related items on city property. Waving flags and wearing yellow ribbons, about 10 Lansing residents protested the policy at a February 19 Council meeting “A city government shouldn’t be keeping people from showing support and spirit at work,” said Scott Centofanti, a Lansing resident who recently served four years in the U.S. Navy. "Things like this happened during Vietnam, and l don’t want it happening again.” City Manager Tom Dority said the policy. announced to city employees in a memo, was meant to keep employees' personal stances from appearing to represent the local government’s position on the war. ' ‘ : When the council held firm on the policy, Centofanti organized a group to tie yellow ribbons around City Hall for several weeks. “They didn’t change the pol icy,” Centofanti said. “We were concerned with what might happen if a variety of people decided to decorate city Hall," Dority said noting yellow ribbons and flags — and a few peace signs — were appearing around the building and on police cars. “We weren’t directing this at personal displays on desks and so forth, but at displays that suggested the city had taken a position.” Mayor Li/. Schweitzer said the council did not believe the policy was a First Amendment violation si nee it only appl ied to private expressions that could be misconstrued as having city endorsement. Police Lt. Stephen Chubb said several officers were unhappy with the restrictions but followed the city’s policy. "As long as that’s (the council’s) consensus, we are obliged as city employees to enforce it.” he said. Acting Police Chief Richard Murray issued a notice reaffirming the policy to his staff a week alter it was announced. I Dority said some employees i nterpreted the policy I as anti-war or against U. S. troops while the couth'll WÈH — ■— m i— •' .t was trying to keep the city’s position neutral.

Though the team ends its fall season in early November they continue to train on a year round basis. The fall is filled with club and collegian Regattas, while they still spend the winter on land training. As spring approaches so do col­ legian meets. For some of the better members the summer is spent traveling throughout the coun­ try competing. “Crew is a way of life,” said Nicole Cutknecht, of the women’s first team varsity. Eyke said he does not know what makes people choose crew, but he knows what makes them stay. “It’s intoxicating.” According to Eyke it’s not some­ thing that can be mastered quickly, taking five to six years to become highly competitive. Once the novice masters the blade (oars)the next step is to be concerned with the boats movement as well as your own positioning. B artles believes the sport builds character and helps organize your life. “Ineverknew anything about rowing,” he added. “I joined not because I wanted to row, not the prestige, but because I wanted to learn a new sport. As long as I can find a river, I can do it for the rest of my life.” Top: The MSU Crew Club prepares for a regatta in Boston after returning from a strong showing in Elkhart, Indiana.

I was looking for something that was compatible with my schedule and crew filled that hole.” Regardless of background, all perspective rowers have to work their way up. Crew consist of three categories: novice, second varsity, and first varsity. Novice began this year with about 150 people. None are cut, but they slowly dwindle as the season progresses and the prac­ tices intensify. About ten men and ten women form the second varsity, while twenty men and twenty women their prospective first team var­ sities. “We’re definitely a lot stronger this year,” said senior Dick Thombury, a member of the men’s heavyweight four varsity. “MSU has been up there thus far.” The team began their season with the Head of the Elk Regatta (called the head because it begins at the head of the river) in which the men won the Mayor’s Cup for their first place finish. In October, the team traveled to Boston to compete in the rowing club division in the Head of the Charles on the Charles River. There the women captured third place while the men took a fourth out of forty-five boats. Eyke said he feels his women’s first varsity consisting of Cynthia Valpey (stroker), Ann Pushies (3rd seat), Amy Middleton (2nd seat), and Nicole Gutknecht (bow), is more competitive of his teams. In a two mile race in Boston the MSU women crew finished just four seconds short of firstplace to the BigTen powerhouse Wisconsin, making their coach very proud. “Wisconsin is the strongest crew in our area,” said Eyke. “The Wisconsin women can compete with the East Coast leagues. State placing second to them makes us one of the more dominant in our league.” ody Politics by Steve Pardo buildings on campus, jog, bike, do aerobics and use weight rooms in residence halls. In the sixties the ultra-thin Twiggy look was en vogue for women. The queasily average Dustin Hoffman sensitivity was the rage for the fellas. To be styling exercise was not required by a person. In the early seventies the Hippies were a factor in fashion. Braless straight-haired girls in floral patterns and side-burned boys with bell bottoms and facial hair were on the cutting edge of society's socia/political razor. Protests and anti­ establishment rallies were time consum­ ing and ,again, exercise wasn't "in". The mid-seventies brought disco and a societal change. Jogging and physical fitness became meaningful to the masses, and the new body image was born. Bitchin' Camaro's and tight polyester pants soon gave way to Don Johnson pastels and power lunches of the 80s. Body image became even more important. Currently Americans are aware of what can be done to live a longer, healthier lifestyle. Some even do it. MSU students often utilize the IM But in surveys, men report noticing a woman's hair first, followed by her breasts then her rear, then her eyes. It doesn't say much for the male line of sight, but it does say that society gives great weight to the attractiveness of a persons "bod". Research even points out a sort of discrimination for not being in good condition. All other things being equal, a fit individual is more likely to be offered a job than someone who is overweight or skinny. In comparable jobs, a man overweight by 20 percent or more earns $4,000 less a year than a fit man. Body image had reached new levels. Exercise is good, and being fit means being healthy. Attitudes in society, however, are very dangerous. Food substitutes, steroids, and countless eating disorders have damaged and in some cases killed too many people who used them not to gain health, but to gain acceptance in this world. Perhaps some day society will see the light and learn how to value people for who they are rather than what they look like. Or perhaps plastic surgery will become incredib;y cheap. Until then, unfortunatly, we all get to keep sweating and starving ourselves, by choice or despair, until we can "fit in" to the mold. photos by Larry Robins ( s s ) by Steve Pardo It really doesn't matter how much of a geek or a Romeo you are. No matter what- there are essentially six parts to any relationship. Like a beaten path these steps are traveled by everyone who has had or will have the mixed blessing we call involve­ ment. The only differences between people are the speed in which these steps are carried out. Stage one— The "Whoa Who's the Incredo Babearolla" Stage This is the shortest and simplest of stages. It's electricity. More chemical than mental, you have no control over this step. You see hundreds of girls, but this is the one that you notice. The woman is seen for the first time and the mind's eye will say one of three things: "She'd be someone I could take to meet mom", "I'd like to get to know her better" or if you're on the rebound and desperate, "She's ugly enough to like me." Stage two— The Blundering Fake Stage Most really stupid things are done in this stage. This is when you go out of your way to act intelligent, worldly and charming. You hang on her words like a trapeze over a monkey pit. Uproarious laughter bursts from your spurious lips when she relays old anecdotes or stories about her cat. You'll walk the opposite way of your true destination to walk with her. You'll break plans if you find out where she's going to be. You'll borrow your roommate's shirts without asking. In short, nothing like your real personality. Stage three— The Bia Stina Stage This is the money stage. Assuming enough of a nibble has been given by the vivacious lolita, you've decided to make your move. Drinks are bought at the bar, concert tickets are purchased for two. You invite her to go to Chicago for a long weekend (I recommend this option only if you're real desperate). By now, parts of your real personality are starting to show. The subconscious should be sending you messages by now. Messages like "Is she really right for you?", "Is she worth this effort?", "Do you really care about her?" It's also probable the mind will start reading her feelings for you. Of course if the messages are somewhat negative like'"I think she'd rather get eaten by worms than be with me," you'll blissfully ignore them. Stage four— The Hook This stage is when you feel the universe is indeed in harmony, that there is a God and he is just. This is when you hook up for the first time. It's the first time you move toward her for the kiss. It's the first time you really realize how good she smells and how beautiful her soft skin feels. The moment is so personal and so shared, it's when the rest of the world is locked out. At that moment There is only you and her. It's also the time you're most likely to burp. Stage five— The Chiseling In Stage You start spending all your free moments together. Loving every minute of it, most friends get treated like good silverware-you only bring them out on special occasions. The things they want to do don't seem very appealing, so when you've got time, you're with her. Much is shared, much is learned. Muuuuch is learned, muuuuch is shared. Which brings us to the stage six. Stage six—You' re-Not-So-Great-Staae Or welcome to the real world. Maybe it's her family, maybe it's an old girlfriend of yours she doesn't like. Maybe you've just been spending too much time together. Anything can lead a couple down this road. You may not have liked all of her little habits, but now you're telling her just what you hate in painstakingly precise detail. You could find yourself fighting about things, like leaving cupboard doors open or how to do sit-ups correctly. The friends you once ignored look better than ever. The exciting becomes routine and the blossoms of spring give way to the chill of autumn winds. Stage seven— The Let's See Other People Stage AKA— Let us break our chains so our love may become stronger or I meet some­ one with a better body. The rise and fall of splendor. It is a never-ending Phoenix, an unshakable formula merely shifted from individual to individual until the final vows are said. lationships by Stacy Lammers Spring is here and love is in the air! (Read this with a note of sarcasm.) Many women, myself included, have delusions about relationships. I do not know why, but women seem to have high expectations about a knight in shining armor rescuing them from a life of drudgery. Nice cliche. I am tired of being assertive, positive, persistent, and, most of all, rejected. I have decided to scrap any hope of finding a decent man to date here (at Michigan State University). By decent I mean a man who will openly communicate with me, one who will treat me like an equal human being instead of a potential "piece" —basically, a man who would never cheat on me with my best friend. (Note the bitterness.) Why is it so much to ask for? I am not a crusading, bra-burning neo-feminist. I simply want what most women want: a healthy relationship. Now I've done it! I have to define "healthy relationship." I think a healthy relationship involves reciprocal qualities and traits. At the risk of sounding ultra-cheesy (?), a relationship is like a recipe. They both call for many different ingredients in certain measurements. Too much or too little of an ingredient could spell failure for the entire operation. For example, what happens if you put too much garlic in your spaghetti sauce? Your eyes water like a faucet and you won't have any friends for weeks. This is similar to what happens when there is too much togetherness in a relationship. I know I'll get a lot of static on this one, but it's true. You end up getting burned out, which makes you miserable, and your friends end up hating you for neglecting them. Dig? It's totally unnecessary for people to be stuck together like glue. When I see couples like this, I think, "Don't these people have their own identi­ ties?" What seems like "enjoying each other's company" inevitably covers up "insecurities of being apart." A lot of people look to their counter­ parts as a source of self-assurance, and sometimes, self-definition. When it gets this heavy, it's time to say, "Hasta la pasta!" and end it—fast! This goes along with PDA Syndrome, also known to lovebirds as "The Gooeys." PDAs* are always a steady source of material for any budding come­ dian. (‘Public Displays of Affection, for you mouth breathers out there.) Just sit in People's Park or near Beaumont Tower and let the fun begin! "lam not a crusading, bra-burning neo-feminist. I simply want what most women want: a healthy rela­ tionship." Recently, I observed several types of PDAs on campus. (Believe it or not, there's more going on out there than just holding hands!) First came "Romeo and Juliet." Picture a lot of skipping, chasing, and "smooching." How romantic! (Puke.) Next came "The Drive-In Maulers." You know, the kind you find making noise in the back seat of the family sedan. Finalmente, this is my personal favorite: "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down." You get the picture. It always seems like people are performing in front of the whole world when they get PDA Syndrome. Maybe it's all a facade, like if they fool everyone around them into believing everything is hunky-dory, it will be. You're probably wondering what the point of this commentary is. So am I. Basi­ cally, people need to step back and analyze their relationships once in a while. Whether they're smooth sailing or doomed to hell, relationships need attention. other words, get off your lazy butts and make some effort. Only make sure you don't over-do it; you might come up smelling like garlic. In photos by Michael A. Melasi by Ben Schmitt photos by Larry Robins No one on the Michigan State Uni|| field hockey team doubted versity they had a talented team. They began the season with eight juniors and expectations of a winning season. But inconsistent play and in­ juries plagued the Spartans during the season as they finished with a disap­ pointing 3-17-2 overall record and 0- 9-1 in the Midwest Collegiate Field Hockey Conference. Martha Ludwig, who took over the head coach position two years ago, said the team had talent, but couldn't put it together. “It’s been a long season and things don’t always work out as you expect them to,gLudwig said. “We had high expectations this year, especially since we had such a strong, older team.” Junior co-captain Maggie Iezzi was hindered by an injured tendon all sea­ son, but she finished the season with two goals, tying junior co-captain Lisa Besser and sophomore Jane Weisenbom for the second leading scorer honors.

I I 1 Junior goalkeeper Becky Johnson gets help from the Spartan defense on a Michigan offense attempt Iezzi said she also felt the team fell short of their potential, but came to­ gether at the end of the season. “We played more as a team at the end of the season, although we lost our last two games,” Iezzi said. 1 We’re looking forward to the off-season, and much more intense practices.” Despite the team’s overall record, Ludwig said they learned a lot from the season. Next year the Spartans will have 26 players on their roster and they usually have 14 players. “We accomplished a lot as a team this season, both physically and men­ tally,” Iezzi said. "Next year, we don’t lose any players and we’ll have more incoming freshman.” Like Iezzi, Ludwig is looking for­ ward to the off-season and putting the team together. She agreed the team was inconsistent. She said next sea­ son there will be no excuses for the Spartans. Iezzi said tthe Spartans will con­ centrate more on accuracy and passing during the off-season. Like her team­ mates, she is looking forward to doing better next season. “Next year, we’ll be the team to watch.” FIELD HOCKEY: Front Row: Robin Morrison, Diane Hartman, Brigid Kiley, Maggie Iezzi, Lisa Besser, LeAnne Chaffin, Maria Ross.

The Michigan State volleyball team struggled all year with trying to find a team chemistry.

Mayson said the injury was not the most typical injury. “It was just a freak injury,” Mayson said. “She was going for the ball near the net and it didn’t look like anything happened.” Mayson said an injury like that is hard to recover from in the middle of the season. If it is in the beginning of the season, it is better for the coach to Senior Dawn Andrews and sophomore Mickey Durbin look to the other side of the net for the serve. gg Volleybajfl VOLLEYBALL: Front Row: Andrea DeLuca, Jennifer Gray, Sue Zatorski, Amy Hill, Susan Spaniolo, Corrine McNamara, Mickey Durbin, Kristin Ojala.

Belanger led the Spartans in kills and total attacks. She also be­ came the all-time leader in kills and total attacks and second in digs and service aces. “Becky has been at her strongest the last two-three years,” Mayson said. “Sheis the equivalent to a Steve Smith.” Middle hitter Dawn Andrews led MSU in 1990 in block solos and block assists. She also became the all-time leader in total blocks and block assists and second in block assists. Middle hitter Kristine Bailey led the Spartans in kills and was tied for first service aces and second block solos. She also became fourth on the all-time list for total attacks. Mayson might have trouble replac­ ing those three, but freshmen middle hitter Jennifer Gray, who was tied for first in service aces and third in kills, and defensive specialist Andrea DeLuca will lead the Spartans into the 1991 campaign. “We are losing three starters but with the underclass, Jennifer, Andrea and (Amy) Westhouse, we have some talent coming in,” Mayson said. by Brian Fee photos by Angela Thomas and Pamela Marko After a disappointing 1989 season at 8-12-1, the Michigan State Univesity men’s soccer team had a slight turn aroundand finished the 1990 season with a 9-6-5 overall record. The men’s head coach, Joseph Baum, credits the success of the team to well-executed and “hard nosed” defense which they put forth game in and game out. “This season was a good season and a nice turnaround for our players,” Baum said. “But was also somewhat disappointing because with four games left we were 8-3-5 and could have went 12-3-5 but lost three of our last four.” The Spartans were anchored by a trio of seniors: Carl Hopfinger, Gus Panos and Dan Kennedy. The three have another characteristic in common, they are the only Spartans not return­ ing for the 1991 campaign. This factor worries Baum. “It is a small replacement but they are our leaders and their shoes are going to be difficult to fill,” Baum said. Hopfinger led the team in scor-l ing with nine goals, which were too many for a midfielder Baum said. Panos was the Spartans’ captain and provided leadership and support for the other players and his departure will be felt both on and off the field. But perhaps the largest loss the Spartans will encounter will be that of Kennedy, who anchored the team’s defensive attack. The Spartans will return eight of the 11 starters for the 1991 season and Baum is expecting an even stronger season next year.

Leadership played a key role for the Michigan State men’s and women’s cross country teams both on and off the field during the 1990 season. Team- oriented goals helped the teams to overcome injuries and make the tran­ sition from high school to college level competition. “It is always fun to have a talented team,” men’s head coach Jim Stintzi said. “But to have a talented group of individuals that are team-oriented makes for even more success.” Junior Anthony Hamm finished fourth at the Big Ten Championships, leading the team to a successful third place finish behind Wisconsin and Michigan. Hamm placed second in the NCAA Region Four Champion­ ships, qualifying for the second time in three years for the NCAA Champion­ ships. The Spartans, ranked 19th in the nation, missed the chance to qualify after finishing in a fourth place tie with Illinois in the Region Four Champi­ onships. 1 “I don’t know many teams that could have come back from injuries like we did,” Stintzi said. “Our top three guys, Anthony, (sophomore) Dave Smith, and (junior) Ian Smith provided the motivating leadership. They did what was necessary to be successful. Next season, barring inju­ ries, we will seriously contend for the B ig Ten title for the first time in twenty years.” Although the women’s team did not fare as well as first-year coach Karen Campbell-Lutzke would have liked, she was heartened by two fresh­ men and two sophomores who were consistently among the team’s top five scorers. “One of our biggest surprises was how easily freshman Mary Lantinga made the transition to college level competition from a Class D high school,” said Lutzke. “(Freshman) Amy Balint and (sophomore) Kelly Powis were also given the chance to lead the team because of injuries. This will be a big help to the team in the future.” Lantinga finished first for the Spar­ tans at the Big Ten nieet and 26th overall, while the team finished eighth. Lutzke credited the team’s ability to make up for disappointing perfor­ mances to the leadership of senior team captain Robin Aldrich. “As a captain and a teammate with more experience on the field, Robin provided needed support and continual motivation,” Lutzke said. “With the recovery of one of our top runners, (sophomore) Misty Allison from mononucleosis, and the return of Mary, Kelly and Amy next season, we definitely hope to improve on this year’s record,” Lutzke said.

The team was also without the assistance of one of their key play makers, junior Julie Simon, who went out with a season ending broken foot injury. These two negative events would not have a negative effect on the women’s season. The Spartans went on to win 10 of their last 12 games and finished the year with a 12-6-0 overall record. Head coach Joe Baum credits the women’s turn around to three main factors: the offensive output of junior Kate Ferguson, who was the Spartans leading scorer with 15 goals; the lead­ ership provided by senior co-captain Emily Coatney, who was hampered throughout the season by a nagging Freshman Michelle Minton looks to the middle to center the ball. injury; and the positive play of the team’s freshman. ■‘I was extremely pleased with the women’s overall year and the fact that we responded so well to our adversi­ ties early in the season,” Baum said. Baum has high aspirations for the 1991 campaign returning ten of the team’s eleven starters and losing only two seniors to graduation, Emily Coatney and Brenda Sampson. The Spartans are looking forward to another successful season in 1991 in the Central Region and will be led by juniors Staci Hendershott and Chris Lamb, Ferguson on the offensive end of the field, and by sophomore Andrea Gerbi playing her third season as goal­ keeper for the Spartans. “We will have another balanced attack next season,” Baum said.

Senior John Langeloh kicks off after a Spartan touchdown. ■ w ■1 Despite the great game played by both teams, this game will not be re­ membered for how well the teams played. The game will be remembered for the call that will be a part of this rivalry forever. hated rival, they upset the number one team in the nation. An accomplish­ ment the Spartans could not pull off when they went down in defeat against Notre Dame 20-19 earlier in the season. The call most everybody will re­ member is the no-call on the two-point conversion that Michigan attempted to get but did not, giving Michigan State a tainted victory. In a year where officiating came under fire for everything from a fifth- down play to an illegal forward lateral that led to a touchdown, this game was an exception to the rule until the Wolverine's fatal play late in the game. Did Eddie Brown interfere with wide receiver Desmond Howard so he could not catch the pass that would have won the game for the Wolver­ ines? Despite the controversial ending, the scoreboard was what mattered for Spartan fans. This one said: Michigan State 28, Michigan 27. Not only did MSU beat their most MSU head coach George Perles said this game was a big victory, com­ paring the win to the Rose Bowl vic­ tory in 1988. ■“I think it is fair that the game is labeled an upset,” Perles said. “This is a great series and its getting bigger and bigger. This is a classic for the state of Michigan.” The many factors skeptics thought that would work against the Spartans, did not. The biggest factor was the war between the linemen, a war the Spar­ tans won with decisiveness. Tico Duckett ran for 90 yards and one touchdown while Hyland Hickson ran for 93 yards and one touchdown. “Our offensive line is three times better than Michigan’s offensive line,” flanker Eddie Brown said. “You can quote me on that.” The Spartans showed resiliency after the Wolverines took leads on two separate occasions, but the Spartans countered with scoring drives of their own to tie the score at 14-14. MSU then took the lead when Hickson scored on a 26-yard romp which was quickly countered with a 95-yard kickoff return by Howard to tie the game again. But the Spartans were undaunted,driving the ball 70 yards, finishing the drive with a nine- yard romp by Duckett to give MSU a 28-21 lead. The Wolverines then drove the ball, scoring with six seconds left. But going for two points to win the game proved to be the Wolverine's demise. “Give Michigan State credit, they held us out,” Michigan head coach Gary Moeller said. “Every time we scored they answered the bell.” Everybody will talk about the no­ call which should have been called. But in a year when college football had so many odd twists, the no-call was a proper end to the game.

MSU / U- FootbaJI by Steve Hogan photos by Mark Wolf and Larry Robins OSpartans take over the turf Follow the bouncing ball. As the ball bounced, so did the fortunes of the Michigan State football team in 1990. The Spartans lost two of their first three Big Ten games and it looked like a conference championship was out of reach. But conference leader Iowa faltered in the last two weeks of the season and the end result was some­ thing the Spartans could live with. The Big Ten ended up in a four-way tie for first place and Michigan State grabbed their second Big Ten title in four years. The Rose Bowl berth went to Iowa but MSU received a berth to the John Hancock Bowl, where they defeated Southern California for the third straight time. After his team’s win over Wiscon­ sin ended the regular season, coach George Perles was excited about go­ ing to El Paso, Texas and renewing their rivalry with the Trojans . “It’s very, very exciting,” Perles said. “We’re excited about having Michigan State come to El Paso to show our people what true, good hard college football is.” The season started with a John Langeloh field goal with no time re­ maining to give MSU a tie with Syra­ cuse. Perles said quarterback Dan Enos did a great job in bringing the team back into the game. “That last drive was something very difficult to do,” Perles said. “I was very proud of him to take the team down there and leave enough time for the tying field goal.” The next game was the annual tango with Notre Dame and it showed how fast a hero can turn into a goat. When ToddMurray blocked Craig Hentrich’s punt, it led to a 19-point explosion by the Spartans and Murray looked to be the Spartans’ knight in shining armor. But with MSU leading 19-14 and Notre Dame driving late in the game, Murray had a potential interception bounce off his shoulder pads and into the hands of Notre Dame’s Adrian Jarrell at the MSU 2. The Irish scored two plays later with 34 seconds left and escaped with a 20-19 win. “This one hurts and what we have to do is make sure that we don’t let it hurt us mentally and get ready for next week’s game,” Perles said, (continued) Opposite Page: Sophomore comerback Todd Murray blocks a punt by Notre Dame's Craig Hentrich.

(continued) The loss didn’t hurt as the Spartans went to Rutgers and routed the Scarlet Knights 34-10. But MSU paid a price for the win as flanker Courtney Hawkins went down with a broken collarbone. The win also marked the 500th win in Spartan foot­ ball history. Michigan State came back home to open the Big Ten season with Iowa. Without Hawkins and without a big play threat, the Spartans were hurting. The end result was a 12-7 loss. “They played well, especially de­ fensively,” Perles said of Iowa. “We dropped about four passes that meant something. We lost because they played good defense and we didn’t play very well at all,” “I don’t think there is anybody who is happy with their performance to­ day ¡| comerback Alan Haller said. “I know I’m not.” But the Spartans recovered in big fashion with a 28-27 upset of then number one ranked Michigan. The win also revived hopes of a trip to Pasadena. But five field goals by Illinois kicker Doug Higgins handed MSU their second Big Ten loss. Staring at a 2-3-1 record, MSU then won their last five regular season games. The streak started with a 55-33 win over Purdue as the Spartans held the Boilermakers to a paltry six yards on the ground while piling up 423 yards of their own. “We’re not interested in winning the statistics which were pretty lop­ sided today,” Perles said. “I’m not trying to do anything except win the game and get out of here.” The regular season ended with wins over Indiana, Minnesota, Northwest­ ern and Wisconsin which gave the Spartans their ticket to El Paso. In the win over USC, Hawkins, who returned to the team before the Minnesota game, won Most Valuable Player honors with six catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. The Spartans were led offensively by the running duo of Hyland Hickson and Tico Duckett. Both ran for over 1,000 yards which made them the top ground gainers in Big Ten history with Duckett the leading msher going into the 1991 season. The defense was second in the conference in total defense and third in scoring and rushing defense. Leading the way was linebacker Chuck Bullough with 164 tackles, 20 of which were from the Notre Dame game. The outside linebacker tandem of Carlos Jenkins and Dixon Edwards were sec­ ond and third in tackles with 117 and 112, respectively. Defensive tackle Bobby Wilson led MSU with five sacks. National honors were won by guard Eric Moten, who Associated Press and United Press International second team all-American honors. Wilson also won third team All-America from Football America.

These may be the greatest advantages of taking a class on cable television, but for some students who do not have cable in their halls, a T.V. class is just the same as any other. “The cable class is good because if you miss a lecture, you can always watch it on Sunday or go to the library and see it,” explained Letson, a biology junior. “Last year I had a class on T.V. and I couldn’t really concentrate in class because of all the noise." Most cable classes do not have a recitation where students have a chance to ask questions and meet with their profes­ sors. FCE 238 professor Dr. Denis Keefe said the cable classes are not always an advantage. “If you do have a question, you have to wait a few days to get it answered. The feedback is not immediate.” Keefe added he has received complaints about noise in the class­ rooms in which cable classes are shown. Cable classes can reach 400 to 500 stu-I dents every term. The classes are updated every year so the latest information is in­ cluded. There is a great amount of flexibility with cable because there are a variety of choices about when and where the class is broadcast. There is a designated classroom where the lecture is shown,it can be seen on home cable stations or the video can be checked out at the li­ brary. Although these cable classes are far more flexible than regular courses, a communications barrier exists between teachers and students. “You don’t get to know each other as well,” said Keefe. “The classroom is less personal.” Cable television gives professors a chance to perfect their lectures. They can look over the tapes and make sure they did not leave out any important points. Many professors see cable as an answer to large classes with restricted resources. “This is really an issue of tradeoffs,” Keefe said. “ We are teaching larger numbers of students and our resources are restrained, and this method represents a compromise.” For some students, cable classes are a safer way to schedule night classes. “The class is great because I don’t have to walk alone on “if you do have a question, you have to wait a few days to get it answered. The feedback is not immediate. -Denis Keefe, FCE professor ¡p Kable Classes campus at night,” said Kimberly Lawrence, a Social Work junior. “I have cable in my apartment, so I could schedule a night class. It really works out great.” The University is currently working on installing cable in all of the residence halls, Chuck Gagliano, manager of University Housing said. This would give all students the option of watching the class at home, or in the designated classroom. The cable installation was started in Brody Complex in 1986. After determining Brody’s cable installation a success, cable was installed in East Complex residence halls. West Circle and South Complex are the only remaining residence halls without cable. West Circle is going to be the last area for cable because of the Con­ struction of the build­ ings. the “We needed the most amount of time to figure the best method to get (the cable lines) rooms,” into Gagliano said. “The West Circle residence halls were built in the 1930s and 40s and there is much more concrete and steel than the newer buildings.” South Complex should be completely installed with cable in the summer of 1991, Gagliano said, and the rest of campus should be done by the summer of 1992. The University would like to avoid any major construction in 1992 because of the semester change, he said. He said the limited time of the decreased summer could hurt any major projects. Larry Robins “Cable has been the least expensive service ever imple­ mented and received the most positive response,” Gagliano said. “We are very pleased.” The cost of installing cable into the residence halls had no effect on any tuition increases. Gagliano said the money came directly from the room and board funds which are designated for major repairs. Inset: Cable classes often seem impersonal and do not allow timely answering of questions, athough they offer more flexible schedules. Professors prefer essay exams over other formats. It's a matter of by Becky Kochan SIUDENT WHIES Students and instructors at Michi­ gan State University agree essay testing is the best indicator of mate­ rial comprehension. Memorize.. .recognize.. .forget. Those are often the steps students follow when a multiple choice test is given. Essay tests, however, focus on one important element the multiple choice tests leave out: utilization. “Applying concepts in an essay test helps to determine whether you are prepared to actually use what you’ve learned in an everyday situa­ tion,” said Michele Rosenberger, a psychology junior. Since students have to know the facts to apply them, essay tests truly evaluate knowledge, said Kim Brandow, an agricultural communi- cation senior. Although there is the potential of “padding” an essay to increase the length, professors said it is not difficult to differentiate between the student who has grasped course material and one who writes for the sake of filling pages in a blue book. “It’s the quality, not the quantity that essay grades are based on,” En­ glish Professor James Seaton said. “Students don’t seem to realize this.” Andrea Joerin, a business adminis­ tration junior, said that with essay tests you have to study more, but the material is better understood and seems to be retained longer. According to Jennifer Dipzinski, a history senior, essays are appealing because the student is graded only for what he or she knows, and can receive partial credit for answers. “Multiple choice tests are so cut and dry,” Dipzinski said. “Either you are right or you’re wrong, there’s no compromising.” One situation which occurs less frequently when an essay test is given is cheating. This not only pleases professors, but students as well. “There’s nothing more frustrating than studying all night for a test only to discover that everyone around you is using the ‘buddy system’ and cheat­ ing,” saidnursing senior Lori Zaremba. This is not to say cheating does not occur with essay exams, but they make it more difficult because there is more to copy than the placement of a col­ ored-in dot. Since it seems many are in favor of essay testing, one might wonder why those No. 2 pencils and bubble sheets are still around. The answer is simply because there is a lack of people power. Professors said they do nothave enough time to read and grade essays for class sizes ranging from 100 to 500 students. “Careful consideration needs to be given to each test,” psychology pro­ fessor Dr. Fred Pesetsky said, “and this would just take too much time for large classes.” The semester system could give more instructors the choice of using essay tests since one proposed change is for smaller classes, said Bmce Miller, director of the semester transition. However, until the class sizes are reduced or more teaching assistants are hired, professors will have to use the quickest testing available: com- puter-scored multiple choice. Although many students think es­ says are better testing devices, some get nervous at the thought of writing an essay within one class period. “It’s hard for me to gather my thoughts and then try to present them in an organized manner,” Zaremba said. “I can’t write under the pressure of a testing environment.” For students who dread coming up with topic sentences and conclusions for their essay exams, help is available. The Learning Resource Center, in the Student Services building, employs counselors who can help improve writing skills. Techniques for devel­ oping a thesis, organizing an essay so that it is cohesive, and tips on how to prepare for test day are given. Top: Students and professors agree that studying for an essay exam helps students to better grasp and apply the material. They do not, however, eliminate the need to study often extensive amounts of material. Something's attached to my computer "“BBC A MOUSE Quick. Name a technological breakthrough that has turned our simple, disorganized lives upside down and has made us a neurological mess. It is called a computer. Just how humar is it? It has a mind of its’ own. It has an attitude. It can even get sick. And for students at Michigan State University, it’s either their friend or their worst enemy. Many courses require students to let their fingers do the walking...along the keyboard, that is. But how do students without computer background deal with using the computer for the first time? Are there students who are actually afraid of them? Is there such a thing as...Computer Phobia? Yes! Computer science Professor Don Weinshank said. “Students who haven’t had prior exposure to computers are likely to say they are afraid of them.1 Students in Weinshank’s Introduction to Computing class said that learning computer programming is tough, but they help each other out. “This class is a lot harder than in high school,” Laura Baravik, marketing and transportation administra­ tion freshman, said. “It’s pretty scary, but we have groups for students to help each other on programs.” Linda Kang, general business and business law freshman, said she did not know anything about com­ puters before taking the course. “We started right from the beginning and we have lab partners to work with. Your partner doesn’t know anything and you don ’ t know anything... so you learn it together.” So what is the cure for computer-phobic students? The cure, Weinshank said, is to give students hands-on help. Dr. Ken Boyer, an economics professor, said his students use the “Review Tutorial” computer program in his Eco­ nomics 201 class as an aid. Many questions on his exams were based on the multiple choice questions from the tutorial program. He thought the students benefited from it. “Part of economics is repetition and drill,” Boyer said, “and there is no better way to do that than with a computer.” He said, “Students are worried about computers at the beginning, and what I do is tell them to just go pick up the disk and do it.” Dr. Gary Stollak, psychology professor, said he thinks studentsgj success with computers has to do with their attitudes. “The more one has had success with technology, the more faith one has learning something different.” But he added, “The word phobia means ‘under no circumstances can I,’ and I haven’t seen that yet with computers.” Some students have not had to deal with all of the nuts and bolts of computer programming; they used computers as paper-writing tools. Shin Ray Lee, a sociology graduate student from Taiwan, used the Zenith Data System to write his papers for his classes. He said he has used only one program so far, but feels there is much more to learn. “Sometimes I feel that there are many uses (for the) ComputerLand if I spend more time I can find out how the computer can help me,Ssaid Lee. “But,” he laughed, “I have more problems with the English language than I do with computers.” Lee’s idea of mastering the word processor before jumping right into computer programming just may be the key, according to Weinshank. Students might have an easier time begin­ ning with a “user-friendly” word processor. He said he wants students to see the computer as an aid to the human creative process. But he added he worries more about students enjoy­ ing and trusting the power of the computers too much. In his classes, Weinshank Mark Wolf stresses computers are not human. ®‘A lot of people come out of this course distrusting computers,” he said. “I don’t want them to be credulous about them.” “That’s what scares me,” he added. “Many people out there really believe in computers. But the computer doesn’t say anything...it simply carries out a program.” That idea is exactly what journalism major Joe Nowak tells students he instructs in the Macintosh Computer Labo­ ratories in the Communication Arts and Sciences building. “I get some unsure people...but once they make the computer do what they want it to do, they feel more comfortable,” he said. “I remind them that there is a big difference between wanting a computer to do something and telling it to do something.’® 6‘Students are worried about computers at the beginning, and what I do is tell them to just go pick up the disk and do it” -Ken Boyer, economics professor Computer Phobia Getting Out of the Pit Spring term 1991 marked the beginning of major changes at Michigan State. As the administration prepared to switch from a three term system to a semester system, it has also made modifications in the registration process. Winter term, 1991 was the first term students enrolled for classes with computers. Normal registration required students to stand in line in "the Pit", also known as the class card arena, in order to pick up classes they may not have gotten when they enrolled. Under the new system, students early enrolled for their classes as always. They then, however, received their schedule through the mail along with a code number. If their schedule was not complete, they used this number to drop and add classes on computer terminals around campus (below). The trial run of the new system seemed to go well, even though many students were unsure of exactly what they were supposed to do. Computer aids were available at all times to help those sudents who were having difficulty (left). Many students are uneasy trusting computers with something as important as their schedules. They fear electronic burps and power surges. The classic "Pit" is outdated, however, and has become part of MSU history. It is unable to handle the needs of an increasingly complex and growing university. Research opportunities allow students to gain experience... by Cheryl Pittman photos by Kathy KieliszewskiHRSTHAND Fourteen million three thousand more dollars in grants to MSU helped boost 1990-91 re­ search endeavors. This allowed the university to continue providing undergraduates with a taste of graduate school along with career related experience and chances to earn money while working in their fields. Undergraduate research at MSU takes four forms: pro­ fessorial assistantships, employment, course work and special programs. Professorial assistantships, like today’s “mentor” pro­ grams in the work force, continued to furnish students and professors with intimate working relationships. Pioneered in the ‘70s and developed in the ‘80s, the Professorial Assistant Program reaches all fields and colleges. A minute percentage of the student body receives this intellectual nurturing for two years. Spending 10 hours per week with faculty, P.A.s do research in labs, libraries, archives, and sometimes help faculty reshape syllabi. They may also work as undergraduate teachers or help room assistants. Richard Cohn, of the class of 1991, benefited greatly from his participation. A student in mechanical engineering, Cohn received the Churchill Fellowship, a full expense-paid year of study at Cambridge University in England from which he will earn a degree. As a professorial assistant to Dr. Ronald Rosenberg, Cohn researched computers with the goal of improving the window of Endport, a system engineers use to analyze automobile dynamics. Later, while he was working with Dr. Manoochehr Koochesfahani, Cohn researched fluid mechanics realizing a principle applicable to decreasing the time intervals be­ tween takeoffs of planes, which could effect both military and commercial flight. According to Cohn, because of England’s emphasis on undergraduate research, Cambridge considered his research experience important. Cohn plans to earn a Ph.D. in aerodynamics. For minorities, MSU offered the McNair Research Pro­ gram (named after an astronaut killed in the Challenger explosion) and the Summer Research Opportunity Program I (SROP) which, designed by Associate Provost James I research. Because of these trends, much program develop­ ment is underway. One recent development included the main library’s collaboration with the Career Placement Center to supply up-to-date information on cover letters, preparation for job interviews, resumes, job descriptions, and other career information. Similarly, colleges helped students learn to conduct research in various ways. One program, designed specifi­ cally to help undergraduates become discerning consumers of research, thrives in the College of Nursing. Nursing student’s required course work in research also serves to influence career mobility, since hospitals now require em­ ployees to know the latest in medicine and technology. Nursing students investigate such issues as direct care, pre- and post- operative care, emulation, and ways to help low-income adolescents. According to Barbara Given, who coordinates the research program in the College of Nursing, MSU’s land grant status influences nursing research toward more clinical and applied goals which proves practical for graduates. James Madison College also markedly emphasized re­ search, particularly benefiting the students of public affairs analysis, in that 50 percent of these students will continue their education in graduate school. Many James Madison graduates will gain employment requiring research. An Top Left: The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Below: Physics Professor Gary Westfall with the MSU 4* Array.

Employment of undergraduates in research is particu­ larly high in the Agriculture Department. Large numbers of students worked this year at research projects related to food and agriculture, natural resources, rural community and family well-being. Undergraduates benefit from the infor­ mation gained from these studies as it is used immediately in the classroom in many cases. H Research! Hamilton, have served as models around the country. These programs gave both MSU and outside students the oppor­ tunity to work with a “mentor” in labs during the summer. MSU’s Nuclear Physics Department with its access to the well-supported national laboratory known as the Cyclo­ tron, crowned students with the advantage of having worked with one of the top three facilities in the country. The nature of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory is research, and undergraduates employed there received the benefit of access to forefront knowledge such as a discovery made this year. Undergrads found when properly bombarded, a nucleus, as if a bead of mercury, breaks off into a miniature nuclei. This discovery may alter physicists’ understanding of the dynamics of stars. Valuable experience undergraduates gain at the cyclo­ tron includes working with people, coordinating and striv­ ing toward a common goal, using computers in an advanced fashion, studying electronics, learning to build equipment, and manipulating large amounts of data without becoming intimidated. These skills and experiences, in addition to providing a deeper understanding of physics, translate into jobs with defense and non-defense industries, including airports, security systems and non-physics jobs such as management with large corporations. Nine million of the $25.8 million granted to MSU went to Cyclotron research. MSU also funds other programs and pays groups of faculty and staff to facilitate undergraduate research. For example, in 1990-91 the main library provided walk-in tours twice a week, self guided tours to 10,000 students, liaison work with departments on instruction in use of the library. Freshmen and sophomores centered their research at the main library, while a staff directed juniors and seniors to college libraries. Such use of the libraries for undergraduate research has increased substantially over the last four years. Program planners expected the imminent semester system, which will provide students more time for more in-depth research, to result in even more extensive use of the library for research. Another curriculum change expected to increase under­ graduate research is the mounting stress on integrated stud­ ies which will supplement text and lecture material with Students find communication through modem technology. by Suzi Straffon photos by Christina SchuckFtUNG A VOICE Out of the small cluttered room in the fourth floor of the Computer Center, miracles hap­ pen—right here at Michigan State University.

TORNDACUFE by Melanie D. Murphy The small room looks more like a library than an office. Every spare inch of space is occupied with books and articles. The walls remain bleak and bare, but certainly not the floor. The deskis so overcrowded with books that they have overflown from the bookshelves. The floor seemed to be the only place left to put the materials. Robert Root-Bemstein, who has a doctorate in the history of science, chooses not to sit behind the desk at 105 North Kedzie Hall, because he would not be able to see anything. He has researched AIDS since 1987. His research was so successful that in 1989 he wrote a book titled, “Discov­ ering.” Root-Bemstein continues his AIDS research, and is writing a second book, “Rethinking AIDS.” He supports the theory that the Hu­ man Immunodeficiency Vims (HIV) may not be the only factor involved with AIDS. ‘ ‘My childhood has always involved science,” he explained. His father was was a computer scientist and his mother was a psychologist. “When I was young, I had a book called ‘TheGoldenBookofBiology,’” he said. “It had so many wonderful color pictures that really got me inter­ ested in science. I always wanted to be a biologist.” Root-Bemstein decided to take sci­ ence seriously, and graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. and PhD. in immunology and the history of science. In 1987, he transferred to MSU as a professor in the department of natural sciences. Frances Ekem, an associate profes­ sor at MSU, has taught Natural Sci­ ence 115 with Root-Bemstein as a team for four years. “I like teaching with Bob because he pushes me to think about new things in new ways. He’s so creative and clever,” Ekem said. For example, Ekem recalled when Root-Bemstein showed his NS 115 class how to properly put a condom on a banana while teaching sex education and the prevention of AIDS. “This is what makes him funny. A woman could never do that. It really got to the point we were trying to make in class,” Ekem said. Root-Bemstein has taken a leave of absence at MSU to concentrate on his book. When asked what else he was going to do with his time, he replied: “Sleep! But seriously, I am going to spend half of my time writing the book and the other half funding re­ search.” It is a wonder this 37-year-old man has time to breathe, let alone raise money for research. Despite his busy schedule he still has time for himself. He is married, has an 8-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son. He even has hobbies. “I mainly paint abstract portraits of women,” he said. “I spent a lot of time studying the process of abstract itself.” Root-Bemstein sometimes sees himself as a part of science. “I would describe myself most closely with the immune system. Hike to run around seeing what fits and what doesn’t,” he said, describing his research practices with the AIDS vims. When asked what he would like to do in the future, he said: -“Retire next year and live on a yacht— just kidding. With doing re­ search, there is really no time to think about anything else. Just as long as science is useful, I will remain in the field.” Above: Professor Zolton Ferency lecturing a political science class, photo by Christina Schuck Right: Zolton Ferency relaxing in his office, photo by Monika Jones m golton Ferency The legend may retire, but will remember ZDUON FERBCY by Susan Gurzick The Michigan State University Department of Criminal Justice will never be the same. In June, 1991 criminal justice professor Zolton Ferency, a legend in the hearts and minds of many MSU students, will retire. Ferency, who has taught at MSU since 1972, has reached the mandatory retirement age, and according to Ferency’s stu­ dents, future criminal justice majors will never know what they missed. Jeffrey Decoster, a criminal justice senior and student of Ferency’s, said MSU is definitely losing a valuable asset. “Professor Ferency is the most talented and influential instructor I’ve experienced at MSU,” Decoster said. “He possesses a unique talent that allows him to express course material in a way that other instructors do not.” Tanya Malone, a criminal justice junior and another of Ferency’s students, agreed Ferency is the most outstanding professor she ever had. “He’s a very precise lecturer and that makes him easy to One issue Ferency said he believes should be more closely examined is the dmg problem. He said he believes one solution toward cleaning up the drug problem is for the government to control the growth and sale of marijuana. He said his marijuana proposal is based on his experi­ ences with alcohol when he served as the Michigan Liquor Control Commissioner in the late 1950s. Ferency said governmental control of marijuana would solve a lot of problems because it would take the business away from the underworld. “There’s uncontrolled purchasing and supplying of marijuana which leads to robbery, murder and corruption of the police and the courts,7’ he said. understand,” Malone said. “He doesn’t go off on tan­ gents like a lot of other pro­ fessors tend to do.” Ferency modestly agreed he is probably one of the best professors at MSU. He said his students feel the way they do about him because he treats them as equals. Ferency also said politi­ cians today need to learn how to campaign about is­ sues. He used the 1990 gu­ bernatorial race between James Blanchard and John Engler as an example. The Political Activities of Zolton Ferency: * 1964- Delegate, Democratic National Convention * 1966- Candidate, Governor of Michigan * 1968- Elected (Resigned) U.S. Electoral College * 1972- Candidate, Michigan Supreme Court * 1974- Candidate, Governor of Michigan * 1976- Candidate, Michigan Supreme Court * 1980- Elected, Ingham County Commissioner * 1986- Candidate, Michigan Supreme Court * 1990- Candidate, Michigan Senate Cabinet “We need somebody running for Governor to talk about the problems in Michigan, rather than to at­ tack the opponent,” he said. Ferency said he has run for offices simply to work toward changes, and a campaign should be for observing the conditions of things in the state and improving what is not right. UI look at teach­ ing as sharing. I simply see myself as the leader of the discussion. -Zolton Ferency, retiring criminal justice professor “I don’t think I’m superior and they ’ re inf eriorFerency said. “I look at teaching as sharing. I simply see myself as the leader of the discussion.” He said when he first began teaching, he was afraid he would eventually become bored. But he said it never happened. “I never became bored because no two classes are alike,” Ferency said. “They all have their own personality. They are not a parade of faceless people.” Ferency said his only regret is the classes at MSU are so large. He said “mega-versities” have made it hard for professors to find the time to really interact with the students the way he likes to. Ferency received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan State College in 1946 and said he remembers spending a lot of time with his professors. “In those days, professors even spent time with their students extra-curricularly,” Ferency said. “I wish it could be the same way now.” After Ferency left Michigan State College, he went on to receive a law degree from the Detroit College of Law in 1952. Duringlaw school, he became involved in politics and has been involved ever since. “The problem with politics today is that office holders manipulate the public instead of represent it,” Ferency said. Running for office is the chance for issues to be ad­ dressed, he said, and winning is just the icing on the cake. Ferency said when he retires, he will continue to be active in politics. He could run for office again but he claims he is getting too old. Ferency also said he tries to get his students interested and involved in politics. Malone said Ferency has inspired her to pay attention to what is going on in the world of politics. “Professor Ferency has made me realize that my ideas and my opinions are important,” Malone said. “I wish that I could have him for a professor in every class that I take.” Long after Zolton Ferency retires from teaching, many people will continue to feel his influence. “You never forget the people who affect your life,” Malone said. “Especially in such a positive way.” Zolton Ferencyj Below: MSU clinical faculty member Judy Tubbs and student Christie Crewer help an endoscopy patient through the painful procedure.

RLilursing Program The MSU Baccalaureate program is helping professional nurses go BACK10 SCHOOL The Michigan State University baccalaureate completion program for Registered Nurses allows older students the opportunity to upgrade their education without having to sacrifice their jobs and time with their families. The program is a two-year cycle involving 20 to 30 by Nick Coquillard photos by D.A. Biermann nurses ranging in ages from the early 20's to late 40’s, in which each student completes about eight credits per term. College of Nursing assistant professor Mary McCartney, one of the leaders of the MSU baccalaureate program, said the school is seeing many nurses wanting to continue their education, but find they are hesitant because of time con­ flicts. It is difficult to balance a job and a family while attending school, she said. McCartney stresses the increasing importance of this ‘ ‘This program is designed to let them somehow continue everything that they are doing,” Carol Feuss, public rela­ tions director for the College of Nursing, said. “But they need that baccalaureate degree eventually, so we are trying to make it as painless as possible.” Another way administrators attempt to support students is to keep in touch with them after they have completed their courses. “We are working closely with the communities,” program for nurses. McCartney said. “Increasingly, that baccalaureate degree is becoming a They do so by working with a community advisory board very important credential,” she said. “There are some people who feel that in some point in time the bacca­ laureate degree will be the entry into the professional field. “Now, even to practice good nursing, you are pulling on the skills you get at the baccalaureate level,” she said. Because of a growing need of baccalaureate-educated Registered Nurses (BSN RNs), the program was initiated in Battle Creek in 1983 and in 1989, MSU joined on. The program is unique because the courses offered are organized to meet the hours available for the working nurses. To further accommodate the working students, classes are offered off-campus and there is a waiver of residency at MSU. “Lansing is an area that has al­ ways wanted and needed access to a baccalaureate degree,” McCartney said. To help students get through the tough nursing cycle, the program also stresses support and guidance. “Most adult learners are apprehensive about coming back (into the education process),” McCartney said. “We are always looking for things that will help us validate to them that indeed we know it’s difficult, but you are doing a good job.” An example of this support is workshops to help students prepare for the difficulties of studying again and a “bridge course”, which re-introduces basic concepts of nursing as a refresher.

H1È Nursing Program^ Instructors leave students looking for APPROVAL Two Michigan State University creative writ­ ing professors are convinced the instructor’s approval requirement is a positive approach by Jill Spurlin rm sure lots of students don’t end up in writing classes that should, but the University is understaffed.” -Douglas Lawder, English professor to the creative writ­ ing classes because it can only help stu­ dents discuss the possibilities of their success with the in­ structor beforehand. to Admission three MSU classes: Poetry, Fiction and Play Writing, each requires all students to the obtain instructor’s approval prior to enrollment. Professor Douglas Lawder, who teaches both Poetry and Fiction Writing, said he accepts stu­ dents who have got­ ten either a 3.5 or a 4.0 in English 226, Introduction to Cre­ ative Writing, on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, Lawder added, he sometimes makes excep­ tions for students who received only a 3.0. Lawder explained the students who do well in creative writing classes are the students who have a real interest in writing. This is the reason for his primary criterion of a high grade in the introductory class, which introduces students to all three writing styles. Dr. Arthur Athanason instructs the pllay writing class. He takes a slightly more complicated approach to determining whether or not a student should take his class. Athanason said his criteria have been established to ensure the success of the students he admits. The first item on Athanason’s list of requirements is requiring some formal coursework in creative writing, such as ENG 226 or a fiction or poetry writing class. Second, Athanason expects students to have had substan­ tial exposure to the reading of plays either through dramatic literature courses or on their own. This is important for two reasons, he said: ( 1 ) Athanason uses examples of many plays to illustrate points he makes in class, and (2) students need to be familiar with the genre in which they want to write. Athanason’s third requirement is recent practical theater experience. By recent he means within the last three of four Instructor's Approval photo illustration by Larry Robins years, he said, and preferably college experience. This is necessary for writing plays, he said, primarily because a script writer must be aware of the limitations and possibilities of actors, technicians, and musicians in a stage performance. In addition, Athanason feels practical theater experience gives students an understanding of what will be required of them in the play writing course. There are not as many available spots in the poetry, Fiction, and play writing classes as there are students who wish to be admitted. Professor Lawder said approximately 150 students try to get into his Poetry and Fiction courses, but he aims to keep enrollment down to 17. He said students in writing courses rightfully demand much individualized at­ tention which is why enrollment must remain low. In play writing all students write one scene each week, Athanason explained, which is read aloud by the students and critiqued by their classmates. This takes up a lot of time, but he believes it is essential to the learning process to receive feedback from the class which serves as a trial audience for the students’ scripts. “I’m sure lots of students don’t end up in writing classes that should,” Lawder surmised, “but the University is under­ staffed.” Spartans to the core, these graduate students believe in SI1CKNG AROUO Students do not always leave campus when they graduate from undergraduate studies. Some stay at Michigan State University to continue their education. This is called inbreeding. Jeff Chan, Sharon Daniels, Michael Milad, and Tracey Taylor have attended MSU for over four years and are now graduate students. These four individuals chose to pursue their graduate studies at MSU for many reasons. Taylor, a second-year graduate as­ sistant, came to MSU initially because it had good academic programs and it was close to home. Taylor, like other students, immersed herself in a variety of different activities. ‘ ‘I stayed to obtain a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling because I had a good time,” Taylor said. The atmosphere of the campus has changed, Taylor said. As a minority aide for three years she was more attuned to the attitudes of African- American students. “There was a more unified black network. Black students seemed to help each other more academically and they got along better socially. Also the retention of black students was higher,” Taylor said. “But the university on a whole has attempted to become more humanly and cultur­ ally aware.” Daniels, a first-year graduate stu­ dent in the college of osteopathic medicine, had a similar experience. Daniels said she came to MSU be­ cause she wanted to be at a big uni­ versity. She said she stayed because she liked the curriculum and the “Spartan spirit.” In comparing the campus from her undergraduate years to now, Daniels sees differences also. “When I was here from 1979-1984, things were more laid back and complacent. Students now are more rebellious against the system. During my time, there wasn’t a lot of protesting. As a result of some of the student protesting MSU has realized the sensitivity of minority students on campus,’ ’ she said. Milad, a graduate assistant pursu­ ing a degree in business administra­ tion and finance, said he came to MSU because of the James Madison pro­ gram. “I thought the program had a lot to offer and would present a chal­ lenge,” he explained. Milad decided to stay at MSU be­ cause he could be done with graduate school in one year. He also liked the campus and believed he would have good employment opportunities. As an undergraduate from 1986- 1990, school was more “laid back” for Milad. “The atmosphere on campus is more serious than when I was an un­ dergraduate. It seems like the students are more serious about their educa­ tion,” he said. Another change Milad noticed is student behavior in the residence halls. “When I first came up here it was very chaotic,” he said. “Students were into partying and drinking, but students have calmed down. They respect each others rights more.” Chan, also a graduate assistant, did not come to graduate school directly. Chan was an elementary education undergraduate and began teaching in the Okemos school district after graduation. He eventually took night classes at MSU and discovered he liked the labor industrial relations program. “I stayed because I liked the area and enjoyed the East Lansing community,” he said. Chan sees his undergraduate edu­ cation as a “reflection of society.” “In the mid-’80s the United States was prosperous so the attitude on campus was carefree,” he said. “Now with the more tense situation of the war and the recession, the campus is more tense.” The perspectives each of these graduate students have gained from attending MSU for a longer period of time allows for a better understanding of the university. Taylor discovered the complexities of the university. “MSU is a good school but it is a beaurocracy just like any other institu­ tion,” he said. “Even though it is an educational institution there is still a lot of red tape. I also learned you can work through the red tape by network­ ing with peers and the administration. It is a tough school academically and it has a lot of resources to offer.” As a result of knowing about the number of resources on campus Daniels said she believes she can help other undergraduate students. “As a resident assistant, I learned about the different resources on campus. Be­ cause of these, MSU is an excellent school with opportunities for all stu­ dents.” Since there are a diverse number of resources at MSU, Milad said he sees this as an advantage of continuing a graduate program here. “Ihaveleamed a lot of information about resources on campus,” he said. There are also disadvantages to remaining at the same school. “Be­ cause I’m too comfortable with my environment, I’m not exploring my horizons,” Taylor said. “Yes, there are disadvantages,” Milad agreed. “It would be nice to diversify my experience.” Overall attending the same univer­ sity for graduate studies has provided a broader perspective on MSU for Chan, Daniels, Milad and Taylor. When asked what she thought about the term inbreeding, Daniels replied, “To me it is a positive term. There are advantages of already being immersed in a system. There are people who go here for graduate school and continue to progress up the ladder of MSU.” Inset: (left) Tracey Taylor, a Hubbard Hall graduate assistant and (right) graduate advisor Jeff Chan, both attended MSU as undergraduates and have chosen to continue their graduate studies here, photos by D.A. Biermann m Inbreeding] WentySOMETHING HHHHI __i _ by Steve Pardo m The current establishment is calling us a generation of laid-back, unsure "kids", Time magazine said that our generation has "few heroes, no anthems, no style to call their own." I am referring to the "twentysomehtings", the 48 million Americans that fall between the ages 18 and 29. We grew up with President Ronald Reagan, experienced the original wave of video games, and went with junior high or elementary school classes to roller skating rinks and skated to Blondie's "Call Me". We may want to, but well never forget The Village People's "YMCA", either. The Baby-boomers appear worried about us, worried that we do not have the drive or the foresight to become responsible members of society. I say bull. Our generation is not shiftless or confused, we are more level headed than previous generations. We are the first generation to be completely immersed in the definition of a global economy. We know about scandalous politicians. We learned from our parents and their generation war is not always about the American good guys protecting the helpless and instilling truth and justice, We have seen racial reform, or at the very least we have seen racial improvement since our parents genera­ tion. We have learned that the world Is not black or white, but a somber shade of gray. We saw the Yuppie's gluttonous ways, and will have to pay for their excesses in full. We are consciously aware of our environment, we have seen the poisoning of the ocean, the air and the ozone. Because of technological changes, we can no longer look towards the high paying factory and line work of our fathers and grandfathers. We are the generation getting cancer from polluted ground water, thanks to Mr. BigCorp downriver trying to save a few bucks and pass it along to the "consumer". We are also the first generation that had to learn the hard way that sex could kill us. We have seen it all, and a lot of it did not work. We are smart enough not to follow anyone or anything on a handshake and a shoeshine. And because of that fact> we do not allow ourselves to be lead anywhere at all. That is why we do not seem to have direction. If we do not have the blind faith of past generations it is because we are realists. We were forced to be, as we latch-keyed ourselves in after kindergarten and spent our childhood in day-care centers, or with teen-age baby sitters. You can not have religion without guidance...we grew up with parents that achieved the highest rate of divorce in American history. We are both the most educated Americans ever and the most hopelessly ignorant. A record 59% of the 1988 k;/-mK IHIHI ^r*rr\lloH in rv^llon^ rv^mnnr^rl with high school seniors enrolled in college, compared with 49% in the previous decade. But the world is a smaller place than before. A college education is a means of survival, not a ticket to aristocracy. to survive coming from good surroundings, a stable environment and a strong educational background. The uneducated, as always are going to have it impossibly rough, but unlike before, the educated are not going to have a clean path to the land of milk and honey. The glowing faces on the class of 1991 have been dulled, by the hard facts of reality. It is going to be hard The argument seems to be that it is better to be adamant about something, anything at all, than to take everything with educated skepticism. It does not matter if the "cause" is right, as long as you have one. In the big picture that argument is flawed. The "causes" of the past have cost us dearly already. Our generation will not spit on our soldiers. We don't see them and the establishment as the great evil, even when we disagree with their actions. What I am saying is that we just do not see any more good "causes". Everybody else exhausted them. This is our niche. This is our definition . We are a generation of silent lions and angry lambs. Diverse and multi-faceted, yet focused on reform. No more spitting protestors, no more bra burning, no more drinking Stoli martinis from Halston slippers. Fewer single parent house­ holds, fewer pollutants in the environment, fewer uses of harmful drugs. Let that define our generation, if you must label us. "We are a generation of silent lions and angry lambs." Let our entertainment and culture be a potpourri of past styles and original angles. The music has gone from hard rock to disco to rap, with a million different styles and formats in between. We grew up with MTV, and are the first generation completely immersed In the electronic age. Perhaps our horizons are broader than past genera­ tions1 and thus better able to appreciate variety. If we don't seem to have a social style of our own it's because we are eating from a smorgasbord, and that in itself is a delicious style. Enough with the judgement, already! Have the realistic patience and wary confidence that we have in ourselves. We plan on becoming good parents by refusing to rush into marriage until we are ready and sure. We're trying to clean this world up, and we are the ones who are trying to figure out how to pay for the economic rip-offs a few people driving BMWs and Range Rovers caused. In the Gulf war, theftwentysomething" pilots guided missiles with laser sights and our "twentysomething" engineers are designing cars with computer imagery. Our accomplishments and tactics may be subtle, but they are terribly efficient...and lasting, We may not fall upon a way to obtain Nirvana but we certainly won't accidentally stumble into the pits of hell. photos by Christina Schuck and Michael A.

World-wide upheavel as disaster by Scott Klefstad America, along with the rest of the world, wit­ nessed several disasters during 1990 which left thousands of people dead and many others mourning over the year’s tragedies. On June 21, 1990, the Middle East became the location of the year’s largest disaster in fatalities. An earthquake, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale, cracked its way through the densely populated area of Iran near the Caspian Sea and claimed 40,000 lives. The earthquake shook a nearby dam loose and caused immense flooding in surrounding areas. When the shock of this incident reached the United States, Washington sent condolences to the Iranian government, and stated America was wil! ing to provide appropriate humanitarian assistance u )on request. In Ohio, 22 people were killed when torrential ■WW» ■■■■ ■■ft The Southern United States spent much of the Spring wringing itself out after weeks of flooding turned entire towns into muddy lakes where buildings poked up like knotty tree stumps and the toll of shattered lives was tremendous. While parts of the Mid-West dealt with heavy rainfall and floods, those states suffering the most damage were Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. strikes rain created a flash flood in the small town of Shady side, near the West Virginia border. The flooding, which started at the end May and continued into June, caused 200 of the town’s 4,300 residents to be evacuated from the area. More than 60 homes were flattened by the deluge. A major earthquake jolted Manila and surrounding Luzon island July 16, killing at least 193 people and leaving hundreds more trapped in collapsed buildings. Most of the victims in Baguio were at the Hyatt Hotel. The entire front section of the Hyatt, the city's plushest hotel, collapsed and floors containing guest rooms crashed down onto the lobby. Ohio Gov. Richard Celeste declared this disas­ ter a state of emergency, and called in the Ohio National Guard. Seventeen counties were declared disaster areas because of flooding or tornadoes, which ripped through central Ohio. Disasters in 1990 were not limited to the ground, however. The United States also witnessed some airline disasters. One major airline tragedy occurred close to MSU. Detroit Metropolitan Airport was the scene of a two-plane collision which killed eight people and injured 21others on one of the jetliners. Heavy fog contributed to the December 3,1990 accident when a Northwest Airlines DC-9 jet mistakenly turned onto an active runway, and was sliced by the wing of a departing Boeing 727. Investigators charged human error as the actual cause of the accident. The conclusion pointed to three possible reasons for the accident. Either the pilot became lost in the fog, the air traffic controllers gave improper information to the flight crew, or airport officials mistakenly failed to prohibit further takeoffs because of the weather. Fog also played a contributing role in the disaster of a Colombian jetliner on January 25, 1990 in Long Island, New York. The fog, which dropped visibility to about three-quarters of a mile, impeded the aircraft from landing. Because the airplane’s approach to land was called off from weather conditions, the extra airtime may have caused the plane’s fuel supply to mn out. The plane, built in 1967, was also said to have been plagued with mechanical problems. Seventy-three passengers died in this crash. Officials did not entirely rule out human error because they said it is uncommon for the crew of an aircraft to let its fuel supply run out. The crash occurred in an affluent residential area of Long Island. No homes were hit and no people on the ground were injured. Federal officials stated incursions on runways, like the incident at Detroit Metropolitan Airport are among the most significant hazards at airports today. Rainforests: an endangered species by Carolyn Fisher artwork by Matt Persons The proof is not in the pud­ ding but in the resources. Sta­ tistics seem to show Europe­ ans are not as flamboyant with their natural resources as Americans. Americans, who represent only five percent of the world’s population, consume 30 per­ cent of the earth’s mineral and energy resources. Europeans consume half of the resources Americans do. To curb the destruction of the earth’s re­ sources, groups and commit­ tees are forming world wide to educate people about the dangers involved. One campus group is the Tropical Forest Action Com­ mittee, an MSU student orga­ nization, which was formed in 1989. It’s purpose is to heighten public awareness about the earth’s resources, primarily those found in tropi­ cal rainforests. “We believe that progress should not be synonymous with destruction, disregard of indigenous people’s rights, and disrespect for other’s inter­ ests,” said Maggie Whearty, president of the 1990-91 MSU chapter of TFAC. At least 50 million acres of rainforest a year are lost, ac­ cording to the National Acad­ emy of Science, and it is esti­ mated if this rate continues all the forests will be destroyed by the year 2025. TFAC aims to change these statistics. For example, last year they launched a letter writing campaign, with a na­ tional network of rainforest groups. The campaign began to help to stop a geothermal energy project in Hawaii which would cut through the Wao Kele O Puna Forest. This forest is one of the most fragile tropical forests in the northern hemisphere. Among the people the TFAC contacted for support was Michigan Senator Carl Fevin. iRainforests And "they call us unciviI izeA ! Wkt an\ I supposed {o do nooJ ■ Too a nuclear-plant? □ of the future £§i^yj Urxdersto 1 Forest FToor B» According to Brazil. Whearty, the TFAC plans to donate profits from T-shirt sales to the Michigan Nature Conservancy for the purpose of buying land which can not be logged or use for private profit. It is important to save the rainforests for many reasons. According to the Rainforest Action Network, rainforests maintain and conserve soils and regulate hydrological cycles, ensuring fresh water supplies. Rainforests, also, provide food and medicine for the industrialized world. Sev­ enty percent of the plants identified by the National Cancer Institute which can be used for cancer treatment are found only in the rainforest. Fewer than one percent of tropical forest spe­ cies have been thoroughly examined for their chemical compounds, according to the Rainforest Action Network. In addition, destruction of rainforests adds to the green­ house effect, depletion of the ozone layer, and global cli­ mate change, the Rainforest Action Network said. Whearty said there are many things we can do in our daily lives to help conserve the earth’s resources. “Recycle tin cans, start recycling programs in dorms, get educated on legislation, and write to your legislators, precycle and don’t buy what you don’t need,” Whearty said. “Ask clerks at stores to not use a bag if you don’t need it.” In addition to their legislative efforts, members of TFAC also hold fund-raising activities to donate money to what they consider worthwhile projects. Last year, for instance, they donated the proceeds from a benefit concert to indigenous persons of Although the earth’s re­ sources have been traumatized by growing popula­ tion and abuse of its’ resources, with the guidance of groups such as TFAC our futures may not leave us without fuel to bum, food to eat and a majestic land to live on. East Lansing's food cupboard by Melanie Murphy It i s a comforting to know there are others there to help you when you needit most. Withtherising cost of college tuition and hooks, some students can not always make ends meet. St. Vincent de Paul Society realizes how difficult life can be. When students or East Lansing residents' bud­ gets are running low. they can stop by the Food Cupboard and receive non-perishables, such as fruit, canned goods and toiletries including tooth­ paste. soap, shampoo and baby items. In the fall of 1989, The Food Cupboard, 320 M.A.C. Ave., was established to help people in need. Since 1989, the number of people who have used this service has increased by 40 percent. St. Vincent de Paul Society-Chrislian Volunteers for the Underprivileged in East Lansing, in Coopera­ tion with St. John's Student Parish. 327 M.A.C. Ave., have been very successful from the begin­ ning. v Last year. The Food Cupboard received the Honorable Mention Award from Student Affairs for Community Sen ice. Dan Boyer, manager of the FoodCupboard, accepted the privileged award. "What I liked most about the aw'ard was the publicity." Bo>er said. ’The amount of people using our service shou Id increase by word of mouth." Reecntly. The Food Cupboard has joined local stores and made food vouchers available to pur­ chase bread, milk, eggs and all other perishable items. A fi\ e dollar voucheris distributed for one to two Boyer said he would like people to use the services when they need to and feel comfortable about doing so. Noquestionsareaskedand there are no restrictions. Although there are no restrictions, Boyer said, people should remember there w ill be other people using the sendee, too. “We help people in their time of need." Boyer said. “We don’t have enough resources for a social sen ice. We help people when they are low.” Michigan State University has benefited greatly from this sen ice. Although it is open to all walks of people, the MSU community has the greatest need because of the large number of people Boyer said. The Food Cupboard would like to offer items to Lansing Community College and Coley, but Boyer said MSU has a larger number of people in this area. He said he would be spreading themselves too thin if they w'ere to help everyone, but they would like al 1 those who need to. to take advantage of the senice. International Students seem to bene fit the most from the sendee, Boyer said. "international students usually can't get any other assistance because they are considered aliens," Boyer said. “We also have a lot of handicapped students that benefit." So where does all this food come from? Food is collected directly from St. John's Students Parrish, mainly during Sunday Mass, and local fraternities and sororities sponsor food drives for The Food Cupboard. “We see it as students helping students," ex­ plained Boyer. “Sometimes it is difficult to ask for The Food Cupboard is open Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon. For those participants finding a conflict in the cupboard's hours, if the church is open they still hav e access to the food. In today's society is seems to be harder and harder to find a place to turn to when help is needed, it is refreshing to know they arc people willing to offer a caring hand. Environment-wise house rented by city by Dirk Machemer East Lansing is home to a new kind of house. This house saves energy and helps the environment. This is the house Urban Options built. The house is an Energy Demonstration House. The floors, walls, and ceilings are all packed with energy-saving information. Rented from the city of East Lansing, compeletion time was five years. The facility, which is the only one in Michigan, is used to educate the Greater Lansing community on energy and environmental concerns. The use of interactive displays located within the house aids in this education. Urban Options is a non-profit organization whose goal is to improve the quality of the urban environment. It was founded in 1978 by a group of energy­ conscious volunteers who wanted to provide a creative solution to the energy crisis of the times. “The nature of the phrase, Urban Options, is to offer lots of options to the way we live in our environment,” John Melcher, Urban Options Board Member, said. “Through all of our programs we offer a wide range of options that help people save money and energy.” For the past 12 years, Urban Options has been promoting the efficient economical and environmentally-sound use of precious natural resources. This demonstration house was built to encourage people to make energy-saving home improvements. “Part of the philosophy behind Urban Options is to provide a concrete example of the things that we are trying to educate people about,” said Jean Kramer, Urban Options Information Coordinator. “And the demonstration house is an effective tool to teach the community.” The house contains a greenhouse and aresearch library. Various displays, classes and programs are provided to further educate visitors. Helpful energy­ saving tips and an energy fitness program are some programs offered. Free brochures are given also. “It was thought that if people could see and touch the different types of displays here at our house it would be more realistic and easier for them to picture that in their own homes,” Kramer said. More than 1,000 East Lansing residents took advantage of of the energy fitness program in 1989, and Urban Options received the 1989 Energy Efficiency award from the Michigan Public Service Commission. “We try to educate and show people how to do things for themselves so they can go into their neighborhoods and improve things on their own,” Kramer said. A lack of funding prevents many people from learning about advantages of the organization, although it is still expanding. A new house is being built behind the existing one. fl And the walls came A nation unites: the reunification of Germany by Paula Turner The world grew a little closer as the Berlin wall crumbled and spirits soared on October 3, 1990. After four decades of conflict, East and West Ger­ many celebrated a long awaited reunification. After so many years of separations, reunification is easier said than done. Economically, socially and politically, the East and West have grown very diverse. Dan Quinlin, associate professor of German Lan­ guage, said he believes the reunification is an ex­ traordinary event, but it will take some time. “After talking to my friends there, the reaction, in general, seems to be very positive. My older friends from Germany have always thought of themselves as one country with division forced upon them. The idea of regaining their families excites them,’ ’ he added. According to the Washington Post, West Germ an Chancellor Helmut Kohl seems to be pushing along the idea of reunification as fast as possible. He has spoken of a non-aggressive pact with the Soviets to accelerate exchange of technology, culture, and science. As for the younger generation, who have never experienced a unified Germany, the reaction still seems to be very positive. Many MSU students tumbling down watched the event as it was broadcast on television, but for some it seemed quite a bit closer to home. Twin sisters Sigrid and Astrid Schumann, juniors from Bonn,(West Germany’s former capital, are especially ecstatic. Comingfrom the West, they said they see the East as a burden now, but they believe there will be a positive outcome. Sigrid returned home for Christmas. She de­ scribed the outlook there as one of unity. “There is an incredible willingness to help the Easterners incorporate,” she said. Sigrid had her first experience of reunification on her flight home. She said when she spoke with Easterners on the flight they were excited and happy, although most felt a some anxiety. “They probably thought I was laughing at them, I was laughing because I was so amazed at how excited they were,” Sigrid said. “They were like new-born children soon to experience life for the first time. I was so happy for them.” She shared her happiness with many excited East Germans who were about to experience West Ger­ many for the first time. Eager to return to Germany with their United States education, both students said they believe the unity of Germany will provide for more job opportunities at home. Above: A Pro Democracy rally in Prague. Left: Pro Unity Rally in Germany. A united Germany was welcomed into the international community on October 3,1990, beginning a new era for Germany. The nation was united at the stroke of midnight when a giant German flag was raised in front of the battle-scarred Reichstag building in Berlin. Though the Schumanns look at a hopeful job future, many East Germans are currently worried about their jobs, or have already lost them. Econo­ mists estimate two to five million East Germans could be displaced to another part of the country for work, because of a shift to a combined market economy, costing them $775 billion to reach western standards. Experts believe the Eastern communism and Western capitalism will not merge easily, though the Easterners seem to be adopting many more of the Western ways, such as their money, flag and educa­ tion. “Changes such as more English classes in school are already taking place,” Quinlin said. Along with national changes, many Easterners are definitely moving to bigger and better things in their every day lives. Until now simple things such as telephones, and running hot and cold water were luxuries available only to the elite of the West. Adopting the Western ways brings these options into their grasp, bringing a better lifestyle. While some Germans are overwhelmed by the rapid changes, things are not progressing fast enough for others. Most experts are hoping for complete unification in about five years, but believe it could take even longer. Regardless of the work, Germany seems to re­ main optimistic today, full of great expectations for their new country. For German citizens such as the Schumann sis­ ters, the joy in their eyes easily visisble. Sigrid describes the atmosphere as very emotional and excited. When she arrived home, the greatest change she noticed was in the people. “There was still excitement and happiness in everyone.” Most have no idea what might result from this unification, but only hope and wait for the final results. The truth seems to be best summed up by Sigrid. “With such global turmoil, it seems to be the only positive thing in the world.” German Reunificatior||]j President of Zimbabwe receives by Ruqaiyah Rogers photo by D.A. Bierman Robert Gabriel Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, vis­ ited Michigan State University, September 28, 1990 to examine the land grant philosophy and receive an honorary doctor of laws degree during an all-Uni versity convocation held at the MSU Wharton Center. President John DiBiaggio honored Mugabe for his achievements as the president of Zimbabwe and for establishing a strong cooperative effort between MSU and the University of Zimbabwe. At the convocation for President Robert G. Mugabe, Fellowships for Zimbabwean University Faculty Development were presented totaling $310,832. The fellowships are funded by the C. S. Mott, W. K. Kellogg and MSU foundations. They were created for Zimbabwe graduate students and faculty to pursue graduate studies at MSU.

In June 1990, while her husband waited at a nearby hotel, Dr. Jack Kevorkian and Janet Adkins drove to a deserted campsite in his rusty Volkswagen van. He inserted a needle in her arm and started the saline flowing. She pressed the button on his suicide machine that sent a sedative, then deadly potassium chloride racing toward her heart. Moments later, Adkins was dead. She decided to choose her own method of death before nature took its course. Kevorkian saw the need for a “suicide ma­ chine” when he was rebutted by a Michigan quadriplegic who was told he could refuse medical treatment. But instead, the patient decided to simply turn off his respirator. In his mind, the case proved the need for such a machine. Kevorkian graduated from the Univeristy of Michigan Medical School in 1952 as an outstand­ ing student. But by 1958, he was asked to leave his special training in pathology. He had tried to persuade the death-row inmate in an Ohio prison to volunteer for medical experiments At 54, Adkins was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She did not want to be a victim of sight loss and memory loss, as is typical of people having the disease. “She was determined to die before Alzheimer’s peeled her away, layer by layer, “ husband Ronald Adkins said in a “Newsweek” interview. Adkins had shared a romantic weekend with her husband and had beat her son in a game of tennis the week before. This is how Janet Adkins wanted to be remembered. Although there is a great controversy surround­ ing Kevorkian’s “suicidemachine”, Adkins’ family insisted that she made the decision carefully and rationally. “We’ve been grieving for a year,” Adkins told “Newsweek”, “But she was the one who kept every­ one up—even to the last hour.” Dr. Kevorkian sees himseif as the “ultimate humanitarian,” while some still call him a murderer. “Society treats my creation the same way they treated Frankenstein. Evil! Terrible! Immoral!” lashed Dr. Kevorkian. This is a man who was simply trying to ease the burden of death for people. He gave them a choice when there were no other options. He wanted to use death to benefit humanity. “I assisted someone in killing herself, “ he told “Newsweek”, adding he made sure she wanted to die. He said he believes he did not play God. Dr. Kevorkian’s colleagues consider his deati machine a “moral cop-out”. They said they be lieve he had his heart in the right place but maybi not his morals. What is generally not known, however, is for years physicians have been silently assisting deaths. In some cases, doctors prescribe painkill­ ers that may interfere with a patients respiration. But a patient can also take these matters into theis own hands by using passive methods, such as refusing to eat or take medications. While Adkins was far from the typical aged suicide victim, it should be noted Americans over 65 are twice as likely to take their lives than the rest of the population. Some older people worry they will end up powerless and on respirators if they live their lives out naturally. When passive suicides are included, the num­ ber increases to eight times that of the general population. Since 1981, the rate has increased by 25 percent. John L. McIntosh, an Indiana University sui­ cide expert explained the increase to “Newsweek”. “Publicity over Alzheimer’s may be spread­ ing exaggerated fear and hopelessness»’’ Dr. Kevorkian was always interested in death. Shortly after 1968, he photographed the retinas of dying patients in an effort to establish the point a which death is irreversible.. Also among his experi­ ments, Dr. Kevorkian transfused blood from newly dead patients for use by the living. Medical experts accept the idea that patients should not be kept alive if they are terminally ill. A movement is slowly building in the health-care system concentrated less on technologies which can prolong dying and more on making death more natural and comfortable. honorary degree from MSU ties, and African languages. The idea for the pro­ gram originated within the African Studies Center, Wiley said. MSU is the largest foreign collaborator with the University of Zimbabwe. The impact of Mugabe’s visit on MSU was a great achievement for the African Studies Center, Vice Provost for Human Health Programs, Harvey Sparks said. MSU’s connection with University of Zimba­ bwe is the most extensive and significant in Africa,” Wiley said. Wiley who attended the convocation responsed positively on the event. “The event has great signifigance. It was one of celebration and showed a positive side of Africa, considering all of the negative images of South Africa that are being shown today,” Wiley said. “It was a wonderful occasion.” “It provided an opportunity for those who are interested in Africa and created awareness for the activities in Zimbabwe,” Sparks said. “Mugabe’s visit illustrated the true relationship between MSU and the University of Zimbabwe. It had a tremen­ dous effect on all who are interested in Africa.” Sparks is currently doing research on high blood pressure of Zimbabweans, the correlations and ef­ fects of living in mral and city areas. Mugabe, 66, was a teacher for nearly 20 years before entering politics in 1960. He was jailed from 1964-1974 for his political activities. After his Zimbabwe Africa National Union (ZANU) won a majority of House Assembly seats in 1980 elections, Mugabe was appointed minister and was later sworn in as executive president in 1987. He currently serves as chanchellor of the University of Zimba­ bwe and earned five degrees in economics, educa­ tion, and administration. Mugabe is the first head of state to visit and be honored by MSU and the second head of state to visist the country MSU was Mugabe’s only U.S. stop, other than the United Nations. violeta Barrios de Chamorro, publisher of Nicaragua's opposition newspaper, led a 14-part coalition to victory over Sandanista rule lespite political inexperience.

Peacefest 1990: a cultural was encouraged. After an intermission, Dr. Timothy Leary ap­ peared on stage. While Ferron’s performance could be described as “friendly,” Leary’s could be like! led to that of a television evangelist. He greeted the audience by immediately throw­ ing out random concepts, questions, and brain teas­ ers, “just to see if you’re awake,” he said to the audience. He held nothing back as he presented a summary of issues in society, politics and his m ain theme of questioning authority. The former Harvard University professor of psy­ chology enlightened the audience with what he calls “stand-up philosophy.” John Lennon was a featured topic of conversa­ tion. Leary and Lennon were close friends during and after the cultural revolution. Leary credited Lennon with being very instrumental in provoking people to thinkforthemselves. Lennon often showed this through songs, poetry, and actions. This topic refers back to Leary’s thesis: question authority and think for yourself. Leary was so close with Lennon and the Beatles, they wrote several songs about him and his writings. One of these songs, “Come Together,” was written as Leary’s campaign song when he ran for governor of California against Ronald Reagan. More topics on his agenda were politics and computer software, two unrelated topics. He an­ swered questions from avid computer (and Leary) fans, and talked about his own software company, Futique, Inc. Then he tossed out more information on computer usage and cybernetics. On the politics side, Leary had much to say. He launched into a bit about political parties and voting. “... Vote for a libertarian, or a woman,” he said. “Just don’t vote for a Democrat or a Republi­ can.” He explained that people get too wrapped up in parties and they miss important things, like issues. Also mentioned was Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign against drugs. (This also provided a transition into his topic: drugs, the inevitable Leary topic.) “We teach our kids to say, ‘No, thank you, ’’’said Leary, who was dubbed the godfather of acid. He added Republicans are ill-mannered. Leary attempted to go into past events which shaped our society, but claimed, with a gleam in his eye, “My memory’s shot.... When talking about drug-related issues (legal­ ization, addiction, current prices), Leary shared some stories and information on the subject. Having Dr. Timothy Leary, a former professor at Harvard University, was the main speaker at Peacefest 1990. Those in attendant likened his manner of presentation to that of a televangelist by Stacy Lammers photos by Christina Schuck Peacefest 1990 offered a social and cultural outlet for MSU students. Held on October 11,1990 in the Wharton Center’s Great Hall, the rally provided a multitude of eclectic information, anecdotes and entertainment. Guests included speaker Dr. Timothy Leary; folk artists Ferron and Joel Boyea; and poets Rod Phillips and Marcus Cafagna. The latter two are MSU English teaching assistants. Peacefest, sponsored by RHA Special Events and ASMSU Great Issues, featured the themes of individuality and acceptance. The event spotlighted another special occasion occurring the same day. October 11 was the third annual National Coming Out Day for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. The show began with folk singer Joel Boyea, who incorporated the theme of personal politics in his songs. He performed solo, armed only with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. Boyea has toured with artist Billy Bragg, and has released an album under Bragg’s label, Utility Records. Next were Phillips and Cafagna, reciting original poems. First was Phillips, with his messages about ecological issues, nature, and war. Cafagna took on current social problems like unemployment, homelessness, and civil disobedience. Ferron, a Canadian folk singer and songwriter, performed next, delivering energetic songs and a few anecdotes. A known lesbian, she congratulated those who “came out” that day. Between songs, she rapped with the audience. “Have you ever been to Germany?” she asked, strumming her guitar. “I had quite an experience when I was touring there. An audience in Berlin just sat there during my show, not knowing what to do. I was, like, ‘Gosh, do something!’ You can clap or sing along if you like.’’' ; Ferron entertained the audience with her no-frills performance. Her songs contained gentle, truthful messages about everything from nature to social interactions.

His research on psychedelic drugs led to his dis­ missal from Harvard in 1963. He has explicitly admitted he has been doing various drugs like acid for about 30 years. Another topic covered was the concept of each person creating his or her own destiny. Leary explained how important it is for young people to explore their potential and create their own niche. Also, he stressed the importance of thinking for one’s self. He spoke about the incidents occurring in Tianenmen Square in China in 1989. He specifi­ cally cited a picture on the news of a student who, according to Leary, exemplified his whole point. The student, holding a backpack in one hand and a lunch bag in the other, stared down some 20 army tanks as they proceeded toward him. “I remember seeing that picture and thinking, ‘People all over the world are going to see this. People in Hungary, Bulgaria, everywhere,”’ re­ called Leary. This kind of individuality and bravery was what Leary has been speaking about all over the world for the last 30 years. Jello Biafra, lead singer of the "Dead Kennedys" spoke out against censorship duirng his "High Priest of Harmful Matters" speaking tour. "Either scream now or pay later," he told a sold-out crowd at the Fairchild Theatre at Michigan State University in October.

J I by Laura Cothran artwork by Matt Persons Recently, The Motion Picture Association of America announced it will no longer use the X- rating but rather replace it with an adults only NC- 17 rating. This new rating prohibits children under 17 years old from attending movies with strong adult themes. Apparently, the MPAA received pressure to create a new rating from influential film makers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Sydney Pollack, Barry Levinson and Spike Lee. The change was preceded by months of public debate over the inadequacy of the rating system. Several films released by the MPAA earlier this year were given X-ratings but the independent companies chose to release them without ratings. Universal Studios pressured the MPAA to imple­ ment the revision after the film “Henry & June”, based on the tri-sexual relationship, received an X- rating. Evidently, the only difference between the two ratings is in the name. According to the MPAA, NC-17 rated films on the basis that most parents would agree that such a film should not be made available for viewing by youngsters. Contrary to popular belief, theater owners are not bound by law to uphold this rating system. MPAA Vice President Barbara Dixon told the Detroit News, “There is a large misconception out there that it is legally binding and it’s not. It’s purely a voluntary system.” Theater owners thus have the choice to prohibit children under 17 from viewing the films. The executive director of the National Associa­ tion, Mary Ann Grasso, said the group, representing 65 percent of all U.S. theaters, supports the MPAA system. The association can not enforce the system but encourages the voluntary participation of all MPAA members. The NC-17 rating has been copyrighted by the MPAA. Which means simply pornographic film makers can apply for the new rating. MPAA’s Dixon doubts many members will apply It really does not make sense to apply since the X-rating is what sells their movies. If a pornographic film were submitted, it would most likely receive the NC-17 rating anyway. For the most part the new rating has been well received. Some people still criticizes the MPAA’s actioh, claiming it did not go far enough. Because of changing guidelines for ratings new definitions have been requested for PG, PG-13 and R rated movies. by Kris Lahm artwork by Matt Persons October20,1990-Censorship has become a societal buzzword and a serious issue on campuses nation wide. On June 6, a United States District Court Judge ruled an album of 2 Live Crew, a rap music group from Miami, violated community obscenity standards. After the ruling, the al­ bum, “As Nasty As They Wanna Be”, quickly became a best seller. It also happened to trigger a national debate over censorship, freedom of expres­ sion, and community standards. Four months after the ruling, Florida record store owner Charles Freeman was found guilty of obscenity for selling “As Nasty As They Wanna Be”. This is believed to be the first conviction in the U.S. for selling a musical work. Bruce Rogow, Freeman’s attorney, said in a Detroit News interview, “This is going to have a chilling effect on the (music) indus­ try, and sends a mes­ sage to all music stores that they’re at risk un­ less they’re selling Montovani.” Censorship hammers B£t THIS Col HAPP5N Cooi^TRY 1 Roeí^ffeo without exception What can we make of this ruling? One anti-obscenity crusader from Florida called the conviction “a victory for women and children”! Others have been outraged by the guilty verdict and questioned whether or not there truly is freedom of speech in the United States. And the accusations against 2 Live Crew kept rolling in. Three band members were charged for performing obscene material at a June 10, 1990 nightclub show in Hollywood, Fla. They were acquitted on October 20,1990. Has all of this negative publicity hurt their successes? In Michigan alone, the group’s performances were banned in Flint, Jackson, and Detroit. No, they are still making money. According to the Top Pop album chart, 2 Live Crew’s recent release “Banned in the U.S.A.”, a take off on Bruce Springsteen’s “Bom in the U. S. A”, has been certified gold—500,000 copies sold. “As Nasty as They Wanna Censorship Be” has been certified platinum—over one million copies sold. The censorship spotlight has not only been on 2 Live Crew. The works of other artists have come under fire as well. A traveling exhibit of Robert Mapplethrope’s photographs left in its wake protests and charges of pandering obscenity against Dennis Barrie, gallery dire for the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati. Barrie was acquitted of all charges. Even at Michigan State University there have been waves of art controver­ sies and censorship attempts. One work under scrutiny was a two photograph piece entitled “Life and Death.” It appeared during January 1990 in the Kresge Art Museum. The photographs showed a live baby alongside an aborted fetus. These photos were a pro-life statement by Art Professor Peter Glendinning. Some of the patrons of the Art Museum were offended by the photos. The Museum, however, chose not to remove them. So what is in store for the future of censorship? In this controversial age where Americans are beginning to speak out for their personal rights, who can say? There is no evidence the result of these trials over freedom of speech will set precedence for the next similar trial. There will be a different jury and a different court room with a different ruling. If nothing else, the awakening of America is a positive thing. Whether it be Van Gogh or Mapplethrope, Beethoven or 2 Live Crew, a good thing to remember is one man’s masterpiece is another man’s horror. Left: A protestor burns a flag as two police officers lead him away. The U.S. Senate rejected a constitutional amendment against flag burning on June 26 with critics arguing that it was already dead and being debated largely as ammunition for use against them at election time. The Senate voted 58-42 in favor, leaving it nine short of the required two-thirds majority needed to approve amendments. President Bush called for approval of the measure, which said simply that "Congress and the states shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States." But the House rejected it with Democratic leaders saying that it amounted to placing limits on freedom of speech; Above: It was crude, even lewd.

Still, many people said that Roseanne Barr was a disgrace for her shrill rendition of the national anthem at a National League baseball double header and a crude on-field gesture afterward.

Jello and Roseanne New Solutions for Growing problems by Denise Sarb The past year has fostered great concern about the environment. One Michigan State University group, the Hemp Environmental Activists, proposed a different solution to a growing problem. The group originated on campus last August and has since gained national attention. They are spread across ten states, with 20 of its 40 members here at MSU. The group's main goal is to educate society about hemp, a plant usually grown for its production of marijuana, which they say can also help save the environment from impending disaster. Bill Paddock, the group's advisor, said the hemp plant can reverse much of the damage done by fossil fuels. Large-scale growth of hemp can reduce the overabun­ "The key to making a change is to get people working for a change." dance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, slowing down the Greenhouse Effect and virtually cleaning the environment. The group spent most of the 1990-1991 school year rallying in Lansing and across the nation. In addition, they wrote several letters to editors of local newspapers urging the public to recognize the value of the hemp plant. Paddock said the group has been successful in reaching students and making them aware of the facts - which is the first step in saving the environment. "The key to making a change is to get people working for a change," Allen Pyle, the group's president, said. Paddock said he sees energy conservation as a necessity to save the environment. The dropping oil prices provides less stimulus for people to conserve. They no longer have a motivation to save energy, Paddock said. Another environmental problem the group looks at is deforestation. Pyle said he feels too many trees are being lost to produce paper products. To remedy this problem, Pyle said that this country must switch mm_p to an alternate paper source such as hemp. mmrnmmmrnHBmwgBBBfflr 1 Top: Protestors at a Legalize Hemp rally march down Michigan Avenue to the State Capitol.

When you go to college, you expect to get involved, become your own person, and, of course, participate In a protest, or two. These are all part of the "college experience." Activists engaged in the latter of the three when they gathered for a pro-pot march and rally September 23,1990 in Lansing. The group, of about 400 people, assembled in Ranney Park, near the Frandor Shopping Center. They proceeded down Michigan Avenue to the State Capitol, waving signs and banners. Various hemp activist groups took part in the demonstration. Hemp Environmental Activists, the Personal Freedom Coalition, and other state­ wide political activist groups contrib­ uted literature, paraphernalia, and words of wisdom. Also present were members of the Libertarian and Green political parties. Activists cried such pleas as, "Free the weed," and "hemp, hemp, hemp." Their message was to increase "I'm really concerned about my civil rights and the environment," Susan Gruber, vice president of the Hemp Environmental Activists (HEA) said. "Most of us become activists after we find out about the economic and environmental ramifications of illegal hemp." After the crowd reached the steps of the capitol, speakers and entertainers spread their findings and beliefs about marijuana. Jack Herer, a noted author (The Emperor Wears No Clothes'), had something unusual to say, He offered $10,000 to anyone who could find a plant with as many uses as hemp. "If softer, warmer and longer lasting than other paper." "It's softer, warmer and longer lasting than other paper," Herer said. Hemp can also be (and has been) used for food, fuel, paper, medicine, and cloth. It was used regularly for years in the United States until it was outlawed in 1937. During the afternoon demonstration, sterilized hemp seeds were distributed. (The intoxicating drug is removed by sterilization.) Michigan State Police officers confiscated the seeds (which reportedly were bought at a feed store) to test them for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient). The tests, however, came up negative. Activist Dana Beal has been speaking in favor of the legalization of hemp for around 23 years. "They've got kinds of hemp that don't get you high," she said. "So why are they keeping that illegal? The only way you can die from marijuana is if they drop a bale of it on you."" tepping Out By Sara Ross When I came to Michigan State University, five years ago, I was prepared to live the rest of my life in love with and far away from someone I could not have, another woman. It would always be my secret, for feelings like these were inexpressible if I wanted to live a fulfilling Christian life as a heterosexual. These feelings would remain my secret because no one else would understand exactly who I was and of how honest and pure my feelings really were. I felt that revealing my secret would destroy my life. I was wrong! College has taught me differently. When I came here I was filled with typical freshman concerns like getting along with three roommates, being on my own, acting like a typical college student; in short, finding my niche in a new world. On one level I did quite well, I was making friends and my academics were going well, but I was becoming more and more aware that I was surrounded by a world that I could not relate to; because of my secret. So often the center of college life is everyone's love interests, and the social activities certainly reflected this. I was Interested In listening to my friend's dating talk, but I could not share my feelings with them or wholeheartedly take part in the social activities. I began feeling more and more alienated from my friends because I could not be the person I really was. order for me to become the person I wanted to be i.e. honest, loving, one who has meaningful relationships with friends, family, and especially lovers, I could not ignore this secret any longer. Uving in the dorm made all this very apparent, to the point of suffocation. Keeping the secret in the end was what really threatened to destroy me, not revealing it. “Keeping the secret - ^nr| ¡n i\á 111 111^ desperate person down the hall.

We felt very isolated and had no idea what was out there. How many people like us were there? Would our lives have to totally change? Would we have to give up our family, friends, and the security of life as we knew it? We were sure that our lives would be totally different and probably more unhappy than our fake ones were. It has taken a long time and many ups and downs to learn that this was not true. We spent two more years living on campus with one foot in the hOmOSeXUOl COmiTlUnity illustration by Christina Schuck and the other in the closet at work and in the dorm. Making a transition from a fake secure world to a real Insecure one was the hardest time of my life. Going to MSU has made this transition much easier than it might have been at a smaller college though. The Lesbian/Gay Council and the willingness of the The little secret I thought I could ignore was affecting all of my life because it was not just who I fell in love with, but who I was as a person. My life seemed very fake. In State News to cover events in the homosexual community has helped to make us more visible. The existence of the Lesbian/Gay Council has made it possible for me to meet many other people and develop a support network of people with similar problems, joys and concerns. I am a much stronger person than I was and closer to the "me" I want to be. My plans for the future have changed drastically since my freshman days. I am not necessarily taking the easier path, but the more honest one. My good experiences have definitely outweighed the bad ones. I have lost a couple of straight friends, but grown much closer to other straight ones. I feel closer to my family. I have always thought of growing up as a process of defining who you are. My personal experiences at MSU have helped me to do that one step at a time.

Also, a basketball net is set up and people who make donations are able to play a game if they wish. This year the event was held outside of Wells hall. Members of the fraternity asked for dona­ tions and gave out free high lighters to passers-by. Donations from the event went to the American Heart Association. Last year the fraternity raised $3,000, Brad Kaniski, a member the fraternity said. Alpha Phi sorority stayed away from athletic Fundraisers. Instead, they arrested people dur­ ing their annual “Cardiac arrest.” The sorority raised more than $2,000 for the American Heart Association said philanthropy chairman Jennett Mooney. Mooney said the sorority arrests people from campus and the East Lansing community. Let­ ters were sent to preselected people informing them of a warrant for their arrest. If the person agreed to be arrested a member of the sorority set up a time to make the arrest. Once apprehended, the person is brought to the sorority house where they were put in “jail.” The inmates were treated to food and entertain­ ment while they made phone calls to friends asking them for donations to the cause. Another sorority, Pi Beta Phi, held an unusual philanthropy — the "Jell-o Jump." The Jell-o jump served two purposes this year. First, as a Greek Week event and second, as a fundraiser for which precedes were donated to the Prevention of Child Abuse. As a Greek Week event the object was to "fish-out" as many golf balls as possible from the bottom of the vat of Jell-o in a set amount of time. As a fundraising event people could pay $3 to have their favorite Pi Beta Phi member take a plunge in the cold gelatin dessert. All of the fraternities and sororities in the greek system at MSU have a variety of philan­ thropies and although they are not mentioned in this story their contribution to the community is greatly appreciated. U4! Philanthropies! w. O' ■tl— Mil ■■t MOTHER ________knows_______ BEST by Karyn Patterson Have you ever wondered what living in a sorority house is like? Or better yet, have you ever wondered what it would be like being a mom to 35 to 60 young women. v".;...:---;: Although each sorority house varies as far as its living arrangements are concerned, they all House Mom have one thing in com- ------------------------------------------ mon; one extraordinary woman who everyone knows as the “house mom”. The house mom is solely responsible for making a sorority house into a home. In fact, she literally acts as a mother to all the woman in the house. The house mom is in charge of the staff in the sorority house, such as, the cook, thecleaners, and the buspeople, as well as overseeing the general maintenance of the house. Yet on top of all these duties, they are totally devoted to each and every young lady in the sorority. One of these special women is the house­ mother of the DeltaDeltaDelta sorority, Kathleen Moorehead. She is a new housemother as of August 1990. However, being a mother is not new to her. Mrs. Moorehead’s family, whom are from St. Cloud, Minnesota, consists of ten children and twenty-one grandchildren. Therefore, be­ ing a mother to the 39 Tri-Delta members is very comfortable for her; it is just like having another family. This being her first year she has not had much to do in shaping the older actives, but she is looking forward to the fall 1991 pledges." Itwill be very exciting,” she said. Mrs. Moorehead’s first husband died at the age of 49, and she was widowed at 46 with ten children to care for. “We weathered the storm, the lord was good to us, and people were good to us,” she remembered. She was a high school attendance lady and then was the director of the financial aid at St. John’s University work-study program. Kathleen then remarried Dr. Moorehead. And she says they have had wonderful times together. And she has wonderful times ahead of her at Michigan State. “Honest to Pete, there’s so much going on, you can do something every- ouse Mom day,” she explains Mrs. Moorehead likes to keep herself busy and she could not have gotten any luckier in finding a job as a housemother. She can wake up and immedi­ ately find herself at work. She lives in her own apartment in the Tri-Delta house. And aside from periodically answering the door, and fulfilling her other du­ ties, she gets to partici­ pate in her favorite past-time — knitting. Her apartment is filled with beautiful needle­ work, among which is a scarf for Tri-Delta. “It’s the first time I’ve ever gotten paid for knitting,” she giggled.

But one of the most rewarding living experiences, un­ believable enough as it may seem, can be found in campus’ Greek houses. Sorority and fraternity houses often receive a lot of slack due to the amount of partying many of them partake in. But the Greek system is so much more than a party and this is proven by the experiences in-house living can provide. Every sorority and fraternity house is similar to a “home”. Each house has akitchen, dining room, a living room (formal room), and a family room (informal room). Mem­ bers can venture anywhere and simply “veg out”, talk, or study at their own discretion. Both sorority and fraternity houses have community bathrooms, like in some of the dorms. The rooming situation varies from house to house. Some have one to four person rooms, while other houses have what is called a “dormer”. A dormer is one giant room in which everyone sleeps in. Houses such as Tri- Delta, Delta Gamma, and Sigma AlphaEpsilon, which have dormers, also have “day rooms”. Active members keep their clothes, stereos, books, desks and couches there. Some houses also have an annex, which holds anywhere from 6-10 people. Living in the annex is usually based on seniority in the house. Aside from the basic structure of the houses, the people inside are what make the difference. “In no other livng situation do you have the opportunity to live with approximately 50 to 60 of the closest friends that you have made at MSU,” Julianna Prickett, of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority said. “It’s just like a family,” Michelle Zayti, of the Alpha Phi sorority, said “There is always something for you to do. People are always there for you. You’re never alone.” Jim Schmidt, of the Sigma Chi fraternity, said there are benefits of so many people living together. “A fraternity is unique from any other housing situation in that it holds such diverse group of people,” Schmidt said. “I can always find someone who is doing what I’m doing — whether it’s going to the bar, going to class, or simply someone to talk to.” Schmidt further supported Greek housing as he discussed the question of study habits in a fraternity. Like many other fraternity mem­ bers, Schmidt’s parents were against it, and he was apprehensive as well. However, last term, he made the dean’s list and found the house to be the backbone of this GfiEEK HOUSING ------------------------------------------ accomplishment. Both sorority and fraternity houses are equipped with test files, computers, and others provide tutors for the more difficult classes. So academically, Greek houses provide extra help that the dorms, apartments, and houses can not provide with­ out going outside the home. An additional bonus is, with so many people, many have the same classes so members immediately have study groups. Not many Greeks came up with negative aspects of living "in-house." Sometimes you may crave your privacy, sometimes you may not be able to find a favorite shirt, but these are minute discrepancies that do not even bump the positive rewards of living in-house.

But there is much more to the five day process which takes place each term. With 33 fraternities, the MSU Greek system is one of the largest in ------------------------------------------ the nation. Joining a Fraternity Rush fraterni,ycan °pen -----------------——---------------- doors and offer a wide range of opportunities most like to become a member of. “Rush is a chance for people who are not sure what the Greek system is all about to come and talk to members of the various houses and evaluate it for themselves,” Vivina said. After each day of rush, the active members of the fraternities discuss the men who came to their house. Members express their likes and dislikes of certain people, and recommend whom they feel would be positive additions to their to the average college man. “Fraternities are for open minded people,” said Jason Vivina, amember of the Interfratemity Council and a Theta Chi. “They allow you to experience something a little different, and to take advantage of the many opportunities available to you.” Fraternity msh, which occurs during the first week of classes each term, does not cost the students any money. Rushing a fraternity at MSU can be a very tiring and redundant activity. Meeting hundreds of people you don’t know within a couple of days is a difficult process. “It’s hard,” said Steve Fowlke, a Spring 1991 pledge of Delta Tau Delta. “You go into it, not knowing anyone, and you have to carry on a conversation whether you want to or not. It gets stressful by the end of the week, because you don’t know if you’re going to get the bid or not.” Rush can be a tiring to both the potential pledges and the active members. While the potential pledge must go from house to house talking to many people, trying to choose the house that is right for him, the active members must greet visitor after visitor, and deduct which men would fit into the personality of the house. “It is very difficult to judge a person after just meeting them for a few minutes. The second and third nights are easier, because you begin to recognize faces,” said Dave Manel, a Pi Lambda Phi. “It’s hard on the actives, because we are trying to make a good impression on them also.” The night prior to rush is a Sunday meal. Anyone is welcome to attend. This is a chance for the potential pledges to get acquainted with the different houses. The following three nights are called open rush. In this stage, the potential pledge visits the different houses, choosing the house he would fraternity. This process is called “hash”. By Wednesday evening each house decides who will be invited back for the next phase — closed rush. This is Thursday or Friday night and is usually a party with a sorority to see how the potential pledge acts in a social atmosphere. Bids, which may be given out at any time, are usually given out Wednesday night or after closed rush. A bid is an invitation to be a pledge with a fraternity. The next step in becoming an active member of a fraternity is to complete various activities required by each house. This may include interviewing active members, spending a week at the fraternity house or completing a certain amount of community service. “Being a pledge is a lot of work, and it takes up a lot of time, but it is worth it because you meet so many people and have a really good time,” said Todd Daniels, a Pi Kappa Phi. Hazing, defined by the Interfratemity Coun­ cil as “any form of mental or physical stress, I discomfort, harassment, servitude, or anguish,” is not permitted. According to the 1990 - 91 MSU Fraternity Rush Book, the pre-initiation weeks which may last from 9-15 weeks is a time to prepare the pledges for the benefits of the fraternity, and it is a time to get to know all the active members. Once the pledge completes all the require- f ments of the fraternity he is initiated and becomes an active member. Top: Members of Pi Kappa Alpha socialize with a potential pledge.

Anchor Splash Melissa Summers, the fundraising chairper­ son of Anchor Splash, said the purpose of An­ chor Splash is to raise money for the Delta Gamma philanthropy; sight conservation and aid to the blind. “There are 18-20 different causes under sight conservation and aid to the blind. Delta Gamma as an international sorority has the Delta Gamma Foundation,” said Summers. “It pools all the money from chapters across the country and distributes it to several different groups.” Delta Gamma, at MSU, lo­ cally supports the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing. However, Anchor Splash benefits more than their philan­ thropy, it also unites the Greek system by involving other fra­ ternities and sororities, Courtney Glaza, a Delta Gamma, said. “It’s real neat to get together with all the houses,” Glaza said. “At least this way they’ re getting something out of it. They’re not just paying money.” Anchor Splash starts with Delta Gamma sending out invitations to all the fraternity presi­ dents. Fraternities must pay $85 to participate. This year 20 fraternities participated. Summers said sororities also receive invita­ tions to pay $35 and participate as coaches. She said the coaches were paired up and then drew numbers in order to choose the fraternity team they wanted to coach. Allison Whorf, a Gamma Phi Beta Sorority member, coached the Phi Sigma Phi fraternity. She decided to be a coach because it sounded fun and is a great way to meet people from other houses. “As coaches we helped our team decide what music to use for synchronized swimming, gave them pointers, and we informed them of all the nchor Splash TIME dates (of the events),” Whorf said. Once a fraternity decides to compete they choose an anchor man, a representative from the house. Summers said the anchor man is part of the team, but he also participates on his own. The team and anchor man earn points by com­ peting in a series of events. The first event was the anchor man dessert. Summers said the purpose of this event is to wish the men good luck and thank them for participating. Another event to thank the teams and wish them luck is when Delta Gamma serenades the participating fraternities. thropy and takes it over to the Delta Gamma house on Friday, Summers said. “The house that brings in the most money gets 25 percent of the total money brought in and the rest goes to the philanthropy,” she said. Anchor Splash ended with a swim meet with all the fraternities involved competing against each other. The meet started with four swimming events: the 100 meter freestyle relay, the 100 meter medley relay, the crescendo relay, and the sur­ prise relay. The surprise relay consisted of a swimmer putting on a sweatshirt and swimming to the other side of the pool. Then, the swimmer took the sweatshirt off and put it on the coach. The next swimmer had to take it off the coach, put it on and swim across to another awaiting teammate. Other events during the swim meet included a bathing suit contest for the anchor men and a synchronized swimming contest. Glaza said her favorite of all the events was the synchronized swimming. “ You work with 6 to 10 guys” Glaza said. “The guys are danc­ ing and doing a routine. It’s hilarious.” “We usually wear sailor hats, take them cookies and ask the anchor man why he wants to be the Delta Gammaanchorman,” saidSummers. Other events during the week included the MTV lip synch contest held at Sensations. “My favorite part was the lip synch because there was a bar atmosphere, so there was more participa­ tion,” Lynnette Parkhill, a freshman and Delta Gamma member, said. The next event was the Delta Gamma Mys­ tery Thursday. Summers said the event is dif­ ferent every year and the participants do not find out what the event is until they get to the Delta Gamma house. This year the event was the Newlywed Game. The coach and either the anchor man or one of the fraternity members played the game. Anchor Bank was the next event. Each fraternity takes up a collection for the philan­ The winners of Anchor Splash were announced after the swim meet at the Landshark Bar and Grill. First place went to Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, second place went to Phi Sigma Phi, and third place went to Pi Lambda Phi. The winners received gift certificates for Service Merchan­ dise for $250, $100, and $50 respectively. Chris Graff of Delta Sigma Phi won first place for the anchor man. Harper Bates, of Pi KappaPhi, won second place, andMike Kramer, of Phi Sigma Phi, won third. The anchorman wins a sweatshirt, unlimited meals at the Delta Gamma house and is put on the sorority composite. Kramer said it is and honor to compete as anchor man during Anchor Splash. “It’s in­ credible how Delta Gamma got this whole thing together,” Kramer said. “It’s really cool to get everyone involved.” Left: Sigma Alpha Mu member Jamie Ryke performing at the Anchor Splash bar night Below: (1/r) Bill Reynolds, Joe Reynolds and Steve Master of Pi Lamda Phi perform the Village People song," YMCA."

During the week fraternities and sororities competed in over 30 events in an attempt to gain points toward the Greek Week trophy. This years Greek Week, with the theme catch the spirit, kicked off on Friday May 3. Events such as, the Alpha Gamma Delta slime-in, Fiji regatta, and band together were scattered throughout the week. However, the main event of the week was Special Olympics. Greeks and special Olympi­ ans from the mid-Michigan area joined together at the track outside Spartan Stadium for an afternoon of fun. Greeks took on the rolls of clowns, huggers, and spectators as they cheered the special athletes to victory. The week ended with the annual Songfest, held at the Breslin Center for the first time. During songfest each group of Greek Week partners, comprised of one sorority and one or two fraternities , presented a six-minute song and dance interpretation of the theme. This year Songfest was held at the end of the week, instead of the beginning, in order to have more Greeks present for the award presentation. This years overall winners for fraternities were first place, Phi Kappa Tau; second place, Delta Sigma Phi; and third place, Delta Tau Delta. For sororities first place went to the ladies of Chi Omega; second place, Delta Gamma; and third place, Alpha Gamma Delta. A new award this year, for sportsmanship, went to Sigma Nu for the fraternity division and Alpha Omecron Pi for the sororitiy division.

Ten years, in fact. MSU finished 17-18-5 overall, 14-13-5 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association which was good for fifth place in the league. That in itself put the Spartans in an unfamiliar position in the league playoffs. The Spartans went on the road for the first time in the CCHA playoffs at Western Michigan, where MSU lost to the Broncos in two games. It was the first losing season for MSU since 1980-81. The Spartans went 12-22-1 which was the first sea­ son for current head coach Ron Mason. Mason said the playoff series with Western Michigan was indicative of how the whole season went for the Spartans. “It was just a mirror of the whole season,” Mason said. “They were just timely goals by the other team that hurt us all year.” MSU was picked at the beginning of the season to win the CCHA. But as the season went on, the Spartans did not fulfill the expectations. Even with the average season MSU had, Mason said other teams played the Spartans as if they were tops in the nation. “When we play on the road, we draw big,” Mason said. “It’s not easy to win on the road. We try to win on reputation and the other team still thinks they are playing the number one team in the nation.” fall from top ranks HOCKEY: Front Row: Assistant Coach Tom Newton, Mike Gilmore, Shawn Heaphy, Jim Cummins, Jason Woolley, Head Coach Ron Mason, Walt Bartels, Joby Messier, Kerry Russell, Jason Muzzatti, Assistant Coach Tom Anastos. Middle Row: Doug Collins, Peter White, Kelly Harper, Nicolas Perreault, Michael Stewart, Rob Woodward, Steve Norton, Michael Burkett, Bart Turner, Doug Garbarz, Dwayne Norris, Graduate Assistant Coach Jim Johnson. Back Row: Student Manager Rob Gagne, Student Manager Ray Guzall, Equipment Manager Tom Magee, Bill Shalawylo, Jeff Pitawanakwat, Michael Thompson, James Lambros, Bryan Smolinski, Wes McCauley, Scott Worden, Eric Kruse, Trainer Dave Carrier, Student Trainer Matt Oesielski, Student Trainer Nate Golembeske. Because MSU did not make the NCAA tournament, it broke the Spar­ tans’ streak of nine straight appear­ ances in the big dance. It also broke the streak of 10 straight seasons which MSU went to the league playoffs semifinals. “I hope this is only a temporary lull,” Mason said.SfWe’re not out of it completely by any sort.” MSU will lose four seniors includ­ ing goalie Jason Muzzatti, who ended his career as MSU’s all-time winningest goalie. Shawn Heaphy leaves MSU as the sixth-all-time lead­ ing scorer and the 1990-91 leading scorer. Walt Bartels leaves the Spartans as a three-time member of the CCHA All-Academic team and Kerry Russell leaves MSU with 56 goals and 86 assists. “I don’t think there are too many seniors that can say of their records being this good throughout their col­ lege career,” Mason said. The four seniors left MSU with a career record of 116-50-12. Scoring duties this year were left to junior defenseman JasonWoolley, who led the Spartans with 59 points (15 goals, 44 assists). Woolley was named to the first-team All-American West and All-CCHA teams. “Seeing Jason win the first-team honors shows he well deserves it,” Mason said. “I was hoping he wouldn’t get knocked off for All-American.” Also coming back for next season is junior Dwayne Norris who was sec­ ond in goals scored and points. Mason hopes this season will only be a temporary kink in the program which has been one of the best in the nation ever since Mason joined the program. “We brought everybody back to square one,” Mason said. “It will be a real challenge to rebuild this program.” Hocke Above: Senior Shawn Heaphy moves in for a shot against Lake Superior's Doug Laprade and Aarl Johnston. op: Senior Walt Bartels discusses a penalty with referee Steve PiotrowskL Opposite Top: Freshman Nicolas Perreault takes a breather before face-off. by Jeff Plum photos by Larry Robins The Michigan State wrestling pro­ gram did not wrestle Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior or “Macho King” Randy Savage during the 1990-91 season, but the Spartans had some of their own “Wrestle Mania” highlights to remember. Some of the highlights for MSU included victories over Notre Dame, Illinois and Northwestern. The Spar­ tans capped the season off with then- best showing at the Big Ten champi­ onships since 1986 and their best in head coach Phil Parker’s MSU career. The Spartans finished sixth in the conference and five MSU wrestlers grappled their way to compete at the NCAA championships. Coach Parker coined the phrase ‘incredible finish’ to describe the Spartans season at the Big Ten cham­ pionships. Academic woes and key injuries, especially to sophomore cap­ tain Roy Hall, hampered the wrestling squad during the regular season. What turned the season around, Parker said, was that the team came together during the conference tourna­ ment and scored 56.5 points. The Big Ten champions Iowa scored 164 points followed by Michigan and Ohio State with 92.5 and 87.75 points, respec­ tively. “We overcame a lot of obstacles this year,” Parker said. “We had to go without three of our starters at the 134- pounds, 142-pounds and 150-pounds. Basically, we had to wrestle with our freshmen (in the three weight classes) for most of the year.” The Spartans overcame their ob­ stacles at the conference champion­ ships by placing ahead of two teams which had defeated them during the regular season: Minnesota and Ini - ana. The wrestlers “saved theirbestfor last,” Parker said, as MSU had five placed in the top five at the champion­ ships. Sophomore heavyweight Don Whipp turned in the Spartans’ best effort by placing third in the confer­ ence. Senior captains Soo Thackthay (118-pounds), J amie Richardson (190- pounds) and Hall (158-pounds) placed fourth whilejunior Brian Woods (167- pounds) finished fifth. overcome obstacles to place in the NCAA tournament WRESTLING: Front Row: Ben Bielawski, Soo Thckthay, Demond Betts, Matt Becker, Joel Cohen, Garrett Gamet, Tom Welch, Ted Roper, Roy Hall, Tim Chaplin, Dale Ensign, Mike DiMilia.

It was a surprising performance not only to me but to everyone in the Big Ten. I just hope we can sustain the momen­ tum going into the nationals.” Hall will be returning to the nation­ als for the second year in a row while Thackthay, Richardson, Woods and Whipp will be making their first ap­ pearance in Iowa City. As MSU headed for the nationals, Parker said, “The mostimportant thing that I learned from the xperience was you respect every last one of your opponents, whether he’s ffomHarvard, Bucknell or Slippery Rock.” Parker added the Spartans must have high expectations to reach their goals and never relax because the man who shakes yourhandbefore the match willnotbeas "friendly" once the match begins.

Although the Spartans recently took sixth place in the Big Ten, coach Richard Bader said he was pleased with his team’s overall performance this season. “We had a great, successful dual­ meet team,” Bader said. The Spartans finished the regular season ranked 18th in the country with a 9-2 overall record, 4-2 in the Big Ten. Despite the Spartans sixth place finish, Bader said he was impressed by their performance. “Before you judge our finish in the Big Ten (Championships), I think you have to look at how competitive the Big Ten conference is,”' Bader said. “Out of 10 teams, seven finished in the top 25 this season. You can’t be dis­ appointed finishing sixth in one of the fastest conferences in the country.” Junior swimmer, and All-Ameri­ can honorable mention recipient, Steve Leissner, was disappointed with the team’s finish. “We came out flat at the beginning of the meet,” Leissner said. “We were a little short in the first couple of events, missing qualifying times by one-tenth of a second. This really killed our morale as a team and we snowballed the meet.” Another problem Leissner pointed out was the foot injury to freshman Matt Greimel. Leissner said this left them without participants in three events. Leissner said he was disappointed with the team’s performance in the Big Ten, but felt the team still had an excellent season. He and co-captain Kevin Zelinski qualified for the NC AA Championships during the meet: Leissner in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle and Zelinski in the 100- and 200-yard breast stroke. The Spartans 400-yard medley team also qualified for the NCAA’s. “We have a very individually tal­ ented team,” Leissner said. “I think that next year we need to set more goals as a team if we really want to succeed.” Coach Bader said he is already excited about next season. He said tb team is only losing one senior, Ar thony Higgins, who scored in the Bi Tenmeet. He was additionally please with the freshmen swimmers. “Out of nine events our freshme swam, they scored in eight,” Bade said. “They had an incredible impac on the team and I’m proud of them.’ Leissner was also positive whe speaking of the Spartan’s potential fc achieving success next season. H called the 1990-91 season a learnin experience. “We had some great swimmers thi year,” Leissner said. “We were over all better than I expected. I think if w can put it together next year, we ca win the Big Ten.” Bader agreed the Spartans coul make a stronger impact on the Big Te next year if they put their talent tc gether. “As a coach, of course, I’m no happy until we win it all,” Bader said “We learned a lot this year, and wi have a lot of talented swimmers com ing back next year. If we put it al together, I think we can really give it run.” WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING: Sitting: Monique Beck, Amy Dukstein, Janet Caraher, Julie Little, Karen Templeton, Nicole Young, Stacey Rice, Linda Erickson.

Far Left: Four members of the women's swimming team receive awards at the end of a meet In one of the country’s most competitive women’s swimming and diving conferences, placing eighth in the Big Ten (2-4, 4-6 overall) can be viewed as an ac­ complishment. The Michigan State University women’s swimming and diving team, under second year coach Corrin Convis, had enough talent to move out of last season’s 10th place at the Big Ten champion­ ships. Convis is confident the team will continue to climb in the con­ ference. “We surpassed our goal by get­ ting out of last place,” Convis said. “Our team will continue to climb and rebuild. We’re a very com­ petitive and focused team.” Convis added she is trying to increase the level of the program. She is pleased with her team’s overall posi­ tive attitude, and the fact that they are team-oriented rather than indi­ vidualistic. Senior Monique Beck, also the captain of the team, agrees their team is strong and has spirit. “A lot of us met our goals,” Beck said. “During the Big Tens, we really came together as a team. It was a great meet for all of us.” Beck cited the Spartan’s trip to Puerto Rico last December as the turn­ ing point for her and for her team­ mates. She believes the trip brought the team together as people. “Our trip to Puerto Rico really brought us together during the holiday season,” Beck said. “We had a great time and trained really hard.” With the Spartans apparent growth and rebuilding period, the question arises whether or not they will con­ tinue to improve. With the loss of diver Julie Farrell-Ovenhouse, the four-time All-American, who will take over as the Spartan’s superstar? Junior Michele McKenzie believes the team’s recruits and younger swimmers can pick up the slack. “We’re losing a lot of talent, but we’ve got some excellent recruits coming in next season,” McKenzie said. “We had a large freshmen team this season who have gotten the ex­ perience they needed and it will help next year.” McKenzie added the Spartans had a great year and are very confident about next season. She believes the team is improving overall. “The Big Ten has always been a tough conference, and it always will be,” McKenzie said. “We had a great season, maybe it doesn’t look that way on paper, but we improved as a team, and it will continue.” Convis admits to the Spartans lacking a little depth and caliber, but insists her team is still in the building stages. She said the team is gaining more strength in their strokes, but stressed that it takes a few years to develop. Next season, she wants to keep moving in the Big Ten ranks. “We’re rebuilding, and doing it my way, as a group of human be­ ings,” Convis said. “This year we surpassed my goal by moving out of tenth place, and we’ll keep climbing.” Swimming and Divine by Steve Hogan photos by Mark Wolf next two games, shooting a horre i- dous 7-of-19 from the free throw li le in the loss to Nebraska.

Biermau i After coming off one of the most successful seasons in Michigan State University men’s basketball history, fans were looking forward to a season which would be better than the first. But instead, high expectations turned into bitter disappointment as the Spartans finished the season 19-11,; 11-7 in the Big Ten. Despite the let down, MSU still was given a berth to the NC AA tournament. But coach Jud Heathcote was not happy with where his team was put. Nevada-Las Vegas, who disposed of the Spartans by 20 points at The Palace early in the season, was in the same half of the bracket in the West region as the Spartans. This did not make Heathcote very pleased. “We’re happy to be in the tourna­ ment, butl’ mnothappy with the draw,” Heathcote said. “I wonder who at the NCAA is making the pairings.” Heathcote did not face UNLV again as the Spartans fell in the second round of the West region, losing to Utah in double overtime 85-84. MSU held on for as long as they could in the game as a bizarre four-point play by Matt Steigenga and Steve Smith forced the first overtime and a Jon Zulauf basket off a pair of missed free throws by Mike Peplowski forced the second extra session. Michigan State reached the second round when Smith showed what the NBA was going to get when he hit a jumper withno time remaining to down Wisconsin-Green Bay 60-58. Smith scored 19pointsinthegameandclosed out his MSU career with 28 in the loss to Utah. ■“I love Steve Smith,” Indiana coach Bobby Knight said, after his Hoosiers beat the Spartans in their final home game. “As a coach, he would be at the top of the list of players to have.” Smith closed his career at MSU as the all-time leading scorer and as the fifth leading scorer in Big Ten history. He also led the conference in scoring and was named first team All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year and was named to numerous national awards. The season for the Spartans was something to watch as so many pub­ lications picked the Spartans to be at the top of the heap in the polls. But the season didn’t start as Heathcote planned as his team blew a 24-point halftime lead to Furman and then hang for a five-point win. “We were in charge but not always in control,” Heathcote said after the game. “And when you give up 55 points in a half, it just makes you want to vomit.” But if that was going to make Heathcote vomit, the Spartans lost then- suffer let down after 1990 title year.

(continued) jumper beat outthe buzzer, edging Cincinnati. But did it? Replays shown after the game indicated the shot from Smith did not leave his hand until after time had expired. Another clock controversy, but MSU won the game instead of being on the short end of the stick. The Spartans then faced the biggest challenge when defending NCAA champion UNLV came to the Palace. MSU stayed close in the first half and led in the second half for a brief time. But with MSU leading, Steigenga missed a break-away slam. UNLV then went into fourth gear and the Spartans slipped into reverse. The end result was a crushing 95-75 loss to the Runnin Rebels. “There is no question we played the number one team today,” Heathcote said. »“They find so many ways to come at you.” One way was Larry Johnson who scored 35 points. John­ son was later named the winner of the John Wooden Award, given to the best player in college basketball. With a 3-3 record in their first six games, MSU did not look like a team which was bound for greatness. But a win over Evansville and a champion­ ship in their own Spartan Olds Classic started a winning streak which saw MSU triumph in nine of their next 10. A road trip through the state of Indiana brought MSU back to earth quickly, including their biggest loss of the season - a 34-point loss to Indiana. The end result was two losses which brought the Spartans’ record to 12-6, a record that palled in comparison to MSU’s next opponent Ohio State, which was unbeaten and ranked third in the nation. But the Spartans used a 12-0 run at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half and held the Buck­ eyes to only 37 percent shooting while shooting 54 percent themselves to pull out the upset. “After two disappointing perfor­ mances and a very poor performance, it’s acreditto our kids that they bounced back and played hard,’ ’ Heathcote said. “We got a lot of basketball out of a lot of kids tonight.” The win was short lived as MSU lost their next two games, including a double-overtime loss to Wisconsin. The Spartans came back for four straight wins before hosting Indiana in their home finale and the last home game for Smith. “We were hoping to send our se­ niors out with a win, we were hoping to keep our win streak alive and win our last home game, none of those things happened,” Heathcote said. “It’s one of those things where we’ve struggled all year offensively.” MSU fell by one point to Ohio State, after coming back from a nine-point deficit late in the game, and beat Michigan to close out the regular season. Despite the overwhelming final season by Smith, the Spartans were led by other players including junior Matt Steigenga, who led MSU in blocked shots and was second in scor­ ing. Sophomore Mike Peplowski led in rebounds and junior playmaker Mark Montgomery set the standards in assists and steals. by Steve Hogan photos by Larry Robins “Everybody needs to step up thei game a little bit and do a bit extra,” Langeland said after Babers’injury. “ don’t think we can rely on one or two people to pick up the slack.

It says our program has moved to another level.” Langeland’s team earned their first ever berth to the NCAA tournament since the tournament was established in 1982. Not only did the Spartans make it to the tournament, they drew a bye in the first round. MSU drew a fourth seed in the Midwest region. “Our wins over Iowa, the split with Northwestern, beating Providence and our strength of schedule helped us,” Langeland said. “To be unranked and draw a bye shows how tough our schedule was.” MSU took to the road in the second round at fifth-seeded Oklahoma State, in what proved to be a gut-wrenching game in which the Spartans found themselves on the short end. OSU’s Liz Brown hit ajumper over MSU’s Marie Ferguson with three seconds left to hand the Spartans an emotional 96-94 triple-overtime loss in the second round. The loss ended MSU’s season with a 21 -8 record, 13- 5 in the Big Ten which was good for a second place tie with Iowa. The loss marked the end of the careers of two MSU seniors. Eileen Shea, who scored a career-high 35 points against OSU, marked her name into the books as the second leading scorer in MSU history with 1,401 points. Shea also placed first in games played ®jffl3) and second in assists (382) and steals (200). Shea led the Spartans for the season in points per game (15.1), assists (4.0) and steals (3.0). The Spartans will also see the de­ parture of Cherie Swarthout, who put her name in the career books for games played (seventh), points (ninth), blocked shots (eighth) and rebounds (10th). “Cherie played unconscious in a three minute stretch,” Langeland said after Swarthout scored 17 points and pulled down five rebounds in a game. “She gained some confidence and came out of her slump.” For the season, Swarthout was the second leading scorer, averaging 13.3 points a game and was the third lead­ ing rebounder with 6.4 rebounds a game. MSU had to recover from two inju­ ries early in the seaosn, the biggest to sophomore Annette Babers, who went down with a knee injury in the third game of the season against Central Michigan. Freshman Chris Powers went down with a similar injury before the season started. makeMSU history with first invite to NCAA Tournament Above: Senior Cherie Swartfaout drives for a layup against Northwestern while senior Eileen Shea anticipates a rebound.

Three of MSU’s return­ ing starters from the 1989-90 season were unable to compete for the Spartans because of as­ sorted reasons ranging from in­ juries to financial difficulties. When the Spartans returned to East Lansing following the Big Ten championships, in which only eight of the teams in the Big Ten competed, they captured sixth place in the league. Fencing head coach Fred Freiheit said, “Fencing with be­ ginners at three of the top nine positions, I feel that we did quite well on the season.” MSU was anchored by senior captain Timo Kurvi at the saber weapon, along with junior Nelson Grimes. Senior Carl Neumaier and sophomore Dave Koerkel were at the foil and junior Gary Cooper and sophomore Mike Noller at the epee. The MSU re­ fencers turned six ex­ perienced fenc- ers from the 1989-90 squad which permit­ ted them to sal­ vage a respect­ able record against oppo­ nents who have a distinct advantage in the area of scholarships. “It is very hard for Michigan State to compete against other schools who are able to offer their fencers athletic scholarships, hence we (MSU) don’t draw the talent that schools such as Notre Dame Grimes said. Fencing as a sport is rela­ tively young to American people and is just now start­ ing to gain popularity. The foil and epee weapons are electronically scored and just recently, the sa­ ber weapon has also become at MSU and will be easier to teach incoming,unexperiencedfencers.” MSU’s outlook for the upcom­ ing season is very promising. The Spartans will return eight experi­ enced fencers for the 1991-92 campaign and will be headed by Grimes, Cooper, Koerkel, and Kyle Glasgow (epee) who went out with an injury this season. Coach Freiheit said, “We should do quite well next season, since experience is so important in fenc­ ing and we will have plenty of it, along with many skilled players.” This feeling of success for 1991- 92 season is not held alone by Freiheit, Grimes also conveys a similar response. “Next year looks good with the return of Kyle Glasgow and all the match experi­ ence our younger fencers got this year. We will miss senior Timo Kurvi’s leadership, but I feel the team will pull together as we did this year after our early setbacks.” A Spartan Fencer duds with an opponent from Eastern michigan.

MelasiNEWIRADDIONS In 1969 Jack Breslin made a proposal to construct a student events center on campus. It never passed. Fifteen years later, in 1984, the proposal came up again and was approved. The center would replace the now obsolete Jenison Field House, home of Spartan basketball 6il am the proudest person in all the world. I still wonder if it’s all a dream that this great new building will bear my name. for 30 years. Jenison, with limited capacity just wasn't big enough for Spartan basketball fans. The center was intended to pay tribute to a loyal and dedicated Spartan, Jack Breslin - an MSU alumni, student leader and star athlete who returned to the University to become Director of Alumni Relations, Assistant to the President and eventually Vice-President of the University. Ground for the Breslin Center, located across from Jenison on the comer of Kalamazoo and Harrison, was officially broken on July 24,1986. "I am the proudest person in all the world," Breslin said. "I still wonder if it's all a dream that this great new building will bear my name." Jack Breslin, however, died before it was completed in the fall of 1989. Construction of the center was not without error. One milhon dollars in damage costs were created when a 160-ton roof trass shifted and dropped onto the arena floor. There were no injuries. Seating around 15,100 fans on four levels, the handica > per-accessible arena provides a view no farther than 127 fe it to eveiyone. It was formally dedicated to Breslin on Sunday, November 12,1990. Highlights of its first year included Paul Simon, Whitney Houston, Bill Cosby, the musical Cats, the Ringling Broth­ ers and Bamum and Bailey Circus, the Harlem Globetrotters and a Pistons exhibition game against the Seattle Super Sonics. Spring term commencement brought controversy to the arena as Governor John Engler addressed the 1991 gradu­ ates. Many students were opposed to President DiBiaggio's selection of Engler as commencement speaker due to con­ troversial budget cuts Engler supported. Students claimed he was not on a list of suitable commencement speaker candidates senior class leaders put together and threatened to boycott the ceremony. A handful of students did walk out during the ceremony, although nowhere near as many as were expected.

The outside of the Breslin Student Events Center looked cold and concrete, but inside the sounds and smells of the rodeo abounded. Six inches and 650 yards of dirt were spread across the court, corrals full of calves, bulls and horses stood where the baseline used to be and cowboys and cowgirls roamed sawdust-covered floors where Matt Steigenga and Mike Peplowski usually suit up. Roman rider George Meek relaxed in a suite high above the arena floor before preparing for his specialty act. Meek, who rides three horses abreast, started his act four years ago. He said he was working for a woman whose son was a Roman rider and asked Meek if he would like to try it. “It comes real easy,” he said. “I do a lot of it without thinking.” Todd “Skid” Bowman, the current rodeo clown/bull- fighter of the year, was also relaxing before the show. He, Teaff, Meek and J. W. Stoker, former world champion trick roper, joked and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres. Alongside the professionals were two MSU Rodeo Club members who competed in the collegiate rodeo Sunday. Business freshman Matt “Pup” Reeder and livestock man­ agement sophomore Kevin Nash sipped Cokes and watched the preparations. The two agreed combining MSU’s Spartan Stampede and The International Championship Rodeo was a good chance for collegiate competitors to get advice from pros. “You can go up to any contestant and they’ll help you,” Reeder said. “You can’t do that in any other sport.” On the arena level behind the corrals, cowboys taped their wrists and put rosin on their saddles and donned chaps in preparation. Paula Gould, a barrel rider from Kentucky, said she got into rodeos by accident. “I had a babysitter who had a horse,” she said. “I got interested from there.” A prayer was said before the festivities began and was followed by a patriotic display of horsemanship. Between each event, five-time Rodeo Clown of the Year John Gilstrap and Bowman entertained the audience. Stoker performed his trick roping with horse Hot Diggity, who was trained by the same trainer as the Black Stallion. He wowed the crowd with his display of fluorescent roping under black lights and jumped through his lasso while standing on Hot Diggity’s back. The last event drew the most “ooooos” and “ahhhhhs” from the crowd. The bull riding pitted man against beast as 10 men competed for top honors. Three men stayed on their bulls for the eight-second ride. Former world champion Michael John Calico from Oklahoma managed to stay on for an event win of 84 points out of 100. The rodeo ended in a tight show and down home rendi­ tion of “God Bless America” which was dedicated to U.S. troops fighting in the Persian Gulf.

These shows gave a broad view of the world with programs ranging from the classic Beowu f, to an environmentally-conscious ‘Land of Trash’ which taught youngsters the importance of preserving the earth These new programs accompanying Wharton’s old fa­ vorites gave audiences plenty of entertainment options. The University series offered the spectacular New York City Opera National Company in The Marriage of Figaro, while the World Travel Series took audiences around the world from Alaska to Egypt. Many enjoyed the Broadway Series which featured the uplifting musical “Sarafina!” and the comedy “Lend Me A Tenor.” The more traditional audience enjoyed the Cham­ ber Music Series which offered talent such as the Colorado String Quartet, while the Lively Arts Series displayed the world-renowned U.S.S.R. State Symphony featuring con­ ductor Edward Chivzhel. However, Wharton Center’s entertainment was not lim­ ited to its series; many talented individual performances were offered as well. Fall term,East Lansing was treated to a visit from world-renowned pianist George Winston. Winter’s blahs were swept away by the ensemble of ballet classics in “Rudolph Nureyev and Friends.” Senior Robin Kaplan was a member of the impressed audience. “It was exciting to be able to witness such a talented man perform in his farewell tour,” he said. Spring brought the magical Andrew Lloyd Webber mu­ sical Starlight Express. Above: The Clifton and Dolores Wharton Center For Performing Arts. exciting line-up, which varied from comedians to classical ballerinas, was complemented by three new series, each of which brought a different flavor to entertainment seekers. ‘Notables’ was one of the new series which featured all- time favorite artists in return performances. Highlights of such productions included: Pat Boone and Florence Henderson’s Christmas show; Victor Borge’s classical piano performance intermingled with comedy; and Glen Campbell’s TV Goodtime Show Reunion. Audiences were pleasantly surprised by another of Wharton’s additions, the ‘New Traditions Series.’ Dedi­ cated to Dr. Stanley and Mrs. Selma Hollander, who are long-time patrons and devoted fans of Wharton’s shows, this series offered different and unusual forms of entertain­ ment. These shows included the four-man percussion band, Manhattan Marimbas; ISO and the BOBS, who combined a cappella vocals with modem dance; and the contemporary orchestral music of the Kronos Quartet. The final addition to Wharton’s repertoire was the ‘Act As Wharton displayed a great number of shows, many students had the opportunity to experience culture first-1 hand. Sophomore Dustin Adkins said he was never a theater buff until Wharton presented Shakespeare’s classic comedy Twelfth Night. “It was not what I expected at all for a Shakespearean play,” Adkins said. “It was really funny! It was in the Festival Theater and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house.” Wharton Center is home to two individual theaters: the Great Hall, which is used primarily for large events, and the Festival Theater, designed after a Shakespearean stage and used for smaller productions. Junior Lynn Niewiadomski, who has attended Wharton shows for years, saw “Home,” a play about a young man growing up in the South. “I love Wharton Center,” she said. “The Festival Stage is excellent and so versatile.” Wharton also cast its spell on sophomore Jennifer Jones. “Wharton brought to MSU a great variety of cultural events that added to the diversity of the campus,” she said. hartón Center Left: The Mozart opera.

Boy suddenly inherits father-in-law’s pornographic magazine business because father-in-law is running from the police on drug charges. Mother-in-law, who thinks “Silk and Lace” is an interior decorating magazine, decides to stop by the office. It is called “In the Name of the In-laws,” and it won the Council for Performing Arts’ first undergraduate play writing contest. The first prize was having the play produced on the Wharton Center Festival Stage. Mitchell said he heard his play won the contest from a message on his answering machineJiT screamed out in the hallway,” he said. “Then I went inside and spent $600 on my phone bill.” Kent Mitchell, advertising freshman and author of the winning play, also did his own promotion as part of his job at the Wharton Center. Emily Guenther, co-director for the Council for Perform­ ing Arts for 1991-92, said the Council hopes to make the contest an annual event. “I like to deal with how people react to others and the funny things they do when...placed in awkward situations,” Mitchell said. He has also co-written a musical, which was produced at his high school in Oregon, and is working on co-writing another musical. “The unique thing about it is that it’s written, produced, directed, acted—everything—by undergraduates,” she said. “It’s a great way for undergrads to get this kind of experi­ ence.” Guenther said Mitchell’s play was chosen from about 10 submissions, which were judged by three people—a theater 6<1 screamed out in the hallway.

Now THAI'S EVCWHONbySuziStraffon Animals and their owners may rest easier knowing a brand new facility has been built for their benefit. The newly-expanded $47 million Michigan State University Veterinary Clinical Center opened in January of 1991 and now offers improved laboratories, research facilities and office space. The expansion was approved in 1986, when Governor Blanchard signed legislation authorizing a $46.8 million renovation of the existing Veterinary Clinical Center. Con­ struction of the three-story, 72,000-square-foot building began in 1988. Included in the expansion of the VCC, on Wilson Road, is a 116-seat lecture hall, modem classrooms equipped with com­ puter monitors on each desktop, and expanded surgical suites. This addition to the VCC makes it one of the most complex research and instructional units in the nation. One of the most sig­ nificant aspects of the new facility is its expanded capacity for re­ search because of increased ani­ mal holding space and surgery rooms. Several areas of research are currently being studiedattheVCC. These studies range from devel­ oping more effective emergency medical techniques to adopting human drops for animal uses. The most immediate benefit of the center for students is the in­ creased computertechnology and its tremendous aid in learning and teaching. The new lecture hall allows students to keep all lecture notes on one computer disc. Tests and quizzes are graded immedi­ ately and student-instructor feedback takes place through the terminal. For example, if students have questions regarding the lecture material they simply type the questions into the computer and the professor answers back through the termi­ nal. The computers are linked throughout the VCC, so various departments can assist in teaching students material. The computers can also simulate life-like situations where students are responsible for making on-the-spot decisions. A “sick” animal can be brought in on the terminal, then students decide what do for the animal, as if it were an actual case. This gives students experience while coping with the pressure of becoming veterinarians. “This system allows students to hold onto information it would have been impossible to hold onto otherwise,” Dr. JackJudy, associate dean of theVCC, said. “The system will trigger, recall and suggest a diagnosis for students.” Judy also said 26 other schools in the nation are working toward a totally intertwined network, which would allow schools to access each others’ records and to provide assis­ tance with teaching methods and obtaining medical records. He said this would allow stu­ dents quicker and easier access to files and records they may not have been able to see other­ wise. The clinic benefits all Mid­ western animal owners, as well as the animals, by offering in- creasedresearch on diseases and poisons. Judy said the addition of a sophisticated toxicology laboratory has greatly influS enced his own outlook on the center. “We’ve had two episodes where we have stopped toxins within 24 hours that may have leaked out into the public. Like thePBB scare several years ago. I can drink a glass of milk and feel comfortable because of the clinic,” he said. The clinic provides new equipment such as a CAT scan unit and a new radiation therapy unit. This equipment enhances the ability of researchers and doctors to care for their patients. Renovation and expansion of the existing MSU Veteri­ nary Clinical Center is also being planned. This project is to be completed in the summer of 1991 and will furnish improved clinical facilities for large and small animals. New intensive care and emergency areas, expanded surgery, radiology, pharmacy and clinical pathology areas will be added to the VCC.

Melasi The Early Years: MSU opened its doors in 1857 on Monday May 11. With President Joseph R. Williams, 4 professors and one assistant, the land-grant college taught agricultural sciences and liberal arts to a total of 67 students (70 applied). I think I had an English class once with that many people in it. But great things come from small beginnings, and The Agricultural College of the State of Michigan certainly has turned into a great university. Moo-U, the Farmers College. Students of this university have always had to put up with these annoying remarks from their pesky U-M loving friends and relatives. We, however, from decade to decade, Spartans have always been proud of our heritage. -Above: The class of 1876 at "the Rock", which was pulled from the depths of the Red Cedar River by the class of 1873 so that they would be rembered. -Above Left: President Theodore Roosevelt delivering the commencment address at Michigan Agricultural College in June of 1807. -Right: Beaumont Tower during its construction in the 1920s. It is a gift of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Beaumont "as a memorial to the first college building in the United States to be devoted entirely to the study of Agriculture."

A contest was held and "Michigan Staters" was chosen. Too long for newspapers to use, though, the press rejected it for "Spartans". Here's to the power of the press! -A study in 1927 showed that student spending during the school year was around $398-$ 1,141, averaging $654. -Due to misconduct on Homecoming Day, the dance was canceled from 1933-1938. Alcohol was banned through 1953.

It has evolved into the State News since then. -The building boom began with the completion of Wells Hall and Mason Halls, housing men, and Mary Mayo and Sarah Williams Hall, housing women. The Union was also finally ready for student use by the end of the decade. Courtesy of MSU Archives and Historical Collections. The 1920s & 1930s Can you imagine....20 credits a term, every term. At least 60 hours of homework a week. I can't either, and thankfully won't ever have to. In 1923 the university faculty redefined the class load (a round of applause would be appropriate). Yes, after 1923, a mere 16 credits and estimated 32 hours of homework were considered normal. This of course left students with some "free-time" on their hands. And so began the Water Carnival. Floats were tossed in the Red Cedar River, and if they didn't sink, became a part of this annual extravaganza.

The 1940s War! The bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 sent the university into a tailspin. ROTC men, due to graduate at the end of spiring term, 1942, were called into combat just a few weeks shy of getting their degrees. The new University president, John Hannah, agreed to issue them anyway. As a result of the war, school enrollment dropped from 6,340 to 3,463 by 1944. After the war, however, enrollment surged to 13,282 students. Without the facilities to accommodate them, the university was forced to use all available space, including the unheated rooms of Beaumont Tower, even during the winter.

They saw the revival of the Greek system and the coming of conservative politics. No longer were there protests and demonstrations with thousands of participants. Or so it would seem. In 1988 minority students held a "study-in" at the Administration Building, literally shutting it down. The demand was reasonable: increased awareness of minority concerns and cultural issues. The university responded with MSU:ldea, a program intended to answer their concerns. The 80s were the decade of Cedar Fest: huge university-banned parties held Fall term at Cedar Village apartments. In 1987 29 people were injured, $11,000 in damage was done, 35 people were arrested and 200 citations were issued. In 1989, over 3000 people gathered in the complex and built a huge bonfire.

SPorts Information MSU News Bureau History of MS The courting of David Souter by Teresa Goelling David Hackitt Souter, 51, became the 105th Justice to the Supreme Court after being voted in last October. Souter was officially sworn in October 15, 1990. Souter was a nominee both conservatives and liberals could not oppose. But the American public was not familiar with Souter’s opinions on such controversial issues as abortion or civil rights. No one could find past written opinions on major issues that could stonewall Souter from the position, mak­ ing him a prime candidate for the seat Justice Wil­ liam Brennan was giving up. A little over 72 hours after Brennan’s resignation was official, Souter was appointed by President Bush. “I have looked for the same dedication to public service and strength of intellect exemplified by Brennan, “ Bush said. Time magazine described Souter as a low-key candidate, but as the American public became fa­ miliar with the man now sitting on the bench, they became impressed with his character. A man described by friends as funny and warm, his shyness in public was seen as charming to the many eyes upon him. Many people also saw him as a decent man, one who still visits his mother every Sunday. Souter went to Harvard University, majoring in philosophy. He graduated magna cum laude, earn­ ing a Rhodes Scholar to Magdalen College in Ox­ ford, England. After he returned to Harvard for law school, Souter became known as a Conservative, showing a distaste for political activism. It was this distaste that led Souter to his love for the law. The passions Souter possesses seem to have proven successful for his career. After graduating from law school, he worked for a private Concord law firm in New Hampshire. He then joined the state attorney general’s office and after eight years be­ came Attorney General. Newsweek said, as Attorney General, Souter unsuccessfully defended New Hampshire Gov. Meldrim Thomson’s desire to fly the American flag at half-mast on Good Friday. He also sought to jail nuclear power plant protesters when the operation of the SeabrookNuclear Power Plant became a sight of protest for some Americans. In 1983, he went on to the New Hampshire State Supreme Court where he became known as the most aggressive questioner of the five justices and a stickler for procedure. “He’s very tough at oral argument,” James Duggen, the state’s chief public defender in appeals, said. “He asks very hard questions.” Friends quoted in the Washington Post described him as a “figure from another century,” referring to his Puritan virtues of discipline, self-reliance, and humbleness. They went on to say Souter was typical of an attorney general. Souter liked non-power lunches of cottage cheese, and he was happiest at home reading or watching television on a black and white set. He never married. Even though Souter was questioned as an appro priate Supreme Court nominee, many of his col leagues thought he would be well-suited for the position. Former New Hampshire State Attorney General Tom Rath described Souter as a man who sticks to the rales of the law and has a narrow readin g for the constitutional protections. He is an avid supporter of environmental and consumer protection. He also has shown support for such moralistic issues as child abuse and crime victims’ rights. Even though he declined to com­ ment on how he might vote on cases challenging the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, many conservative judges questioned whether he had enough human understanding to deal with the issues of the day. Souter’s appointment to the Supreme Court was confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 13-1 vote. The only one to oppose his nomination was Massachusetts Democrat Edward Kennedy. Many believe Bush appointed Souter because he was a question mark on so many important issues. Justice Thurgood Marshall had never heard of Souter. Thousands of anti-abortionists wondered what side he would lean toward if he became the next Supreme Court Justice. Nevertheless, the easy candidate, as many de­ scribed him, prevailed. “He was the perfect candidate,” one Bush aide said. “No footprints, no fight.” D.C. Mayor stung by FBI: by Kim Jenkins October 27,1990-The “sting” took place in three connected rooms on the seventh floor of the Vista Hotel. Rasheeda Moore resided in room 727— equipped with cameras and microphones, while FBI agents waited in the adjoining room for Marion Barry. . Barry, mayor of Washington D. C., was arrested on drag possession in the 4'Xrtj4 Barry, in his third term in office, was lured to hotel by his former model, girlfriend Moore. It was there that Barry was videotaped smoking crack Vista International Hotel; that evening. t ; Moore called Barry and asked him to stop by the hotel. In the room, Barry chatted with Moore and a federal agent before asking where he could get drags. The agent left and returned with a small amount of crack cocaine. Barry then loaded the pipe and lit it. The FBI immediately rushed in, handcuffed Barry, and took him to headquarters, where he was finger printed His urine showed traces of cocaine. Barry was arraigned the next day on eleven drug-related counts and three felony charges of peijury. The perjury charges stem from earlier investigations where Barry denied using drags or knowing former employee, Charles Lewis. The federal investigation started in 1988 in the Ramada Inn where Barry and former employee, Charles Lewis were allegedly using cocaine. Federal agents came to the motel only to find nothing. In April 1989, Lewis was indicted on charges of lying to federal grand jury and cocaine possession. In order to get some of the charges dropped, he agreed to be one of the key figures in the “sting “ operation led by Attorney General Richard Thornburgh to indict Barry on drag charges. Lewis testified in two separate occasions he and Barry smoked cocaine. He later testified he, Barry, and Moore used cocaine at a luxurious resort in St. Thomas the Virgin Islands. Lewis had a personnel-management contract between the Barry administration and the Virgin Island government. FBI agent Ronald D. Stem told Newsweek, “ Through a surveillance camera, I observed Mr. Barry take possession of the crack cocaine and inhale on the lit smoking apparatus. After observing Barry possess and use crack David H.

An 83-minutevideo oftheincidentreveals a very different picture. Although he video was blurred and almost inaudible, it showed Barry being more iterested in having sex with Moore than getting cocaine. Once the crack was resent he still was apprehensive, wanting Moore to try the crack pipe first, »arry told Moore he didn’t smoke no more. Many prominent black officials believe Barry was apart of an elaborate eheme to torpedo his campaign two days before his re-election. Referred to as The Plan", officials and Barry supporters felt it was a direct plan to eliminate lacks in prominent government positions. Prosecutor Jay B. Stephens latantly denied the scheme stating only he believed the events of the night were personal tragedy for the defendant “ Moore’s position in this operation perhaps serves to be the key factor in rresting Barry. Moore’s relationship with Bany lasted five years. They were >vers, friends, and frequent drag users who according to Moore, used drags equently, totally ambivalent to their surroundings. One time, commented Moore, they even used drags at her mother’s house on Mother’s Day. Many of the mayor's supporters felt Moore unscrupulously set him up. When asked why she agreed to the plan, Moore said all the men in her life had been messed up and she was tired of it. On August 20,1990, Marion Barry was acquitted of all charges except the misdemeanor on cocaine possession. He was sentenced to six months in federal prison on October 27,1990. He was fined $5,000 and one year probation. He must also to seek treatment and pay the price of his incarceration. After sentencing,Barry said he was, “truly remorseful." Judge Panfield Jackson told the DetroitNews, “Having failed as agoodexample toWashington D.C. and particularly to the youth of the city, he unfortunately mustnow become an example of another kind.” Barry’s response was, “I understand there are different standards for different people and that’s the American injustice system." He vowed to continue his campaign for candidate on the district council seat for the November 6 election. He is able to serve from prison and will not have to relinquish his office after his term ends January 2,1990. The rìse and fall of the Thimp I by Susan Gurzick artwork by Matt Persons ‘The 1990’s sure aren't like the 1980’s,” That’s what business tycoon Donald Trump had to say since he’s seen his net worth plummet from $1.7 billion in 1989 to $500 million in 1990. , Some believe it is ironic that his money problems have coincided with the release of his second book entitled, “Surviving at the Top.” Trump’s book spent only two weeks on the New York Times’ best-seller list before falling completely out of the rankings. Random House published the book and it ap­ pears they may have printed way too many. But Donald Trump claims that he is not discouraged. He said he is already planning to write a third book. ‘The next one will be the real story, describing my told comeback,” Trump Newsweek. Whether or not Trump w 11 be able to restore his fortune is a question everyone seems o be asking. Especially hi>1 bankers. j Trump and his advise rs have been meeting with Ne w j York City bankers trying o figure out how to renegotii ie his $3.2 billion debt. Tmmp proposed the bar ;s take over all of his property s. except for his three casinos in Atlantic City, and wipe out! is debt. The banks refused is offer because they said • le value of the properties was probably below the amou its of the loans. Trump even threatened to declare bankruptcy knowing it would cost the banks mi- lions in legal fees and make it hard for them to regain their money. Ultimately, Trump realized if he filed for bank­ ruptcy, he would be under constant scrutiny by creditors. Trump has even put some of his possessions up for sale. Ivana and Donald Trump may look like the picture of marital and material bliss, but don't believe it. Trump's millions were slowly eroded in 1990 to the edge of financial disaster. And he and Ivana, his wife of 13 years, separated after Trump was romantically linked with actress and model Marla Maples. 'The Donald" moved out of their 50-room triplex in New York's Trump Tower and talk of divorce covered the tabloids as it became the rumor of the year. In recent tabloid history, 'The Donald" was linked with a few more models and Ivana was reportedly seen with Sylvester Stallone. Michigan ‘ "wakes up with a Republican Englerwins: ebse race yieldsfirst Republican governor in eight years by Kris Lahm The gubernatorial candidatewho told support­ ers on election night in November they would “wake up with a Republican governor” was right. John Engler was sworn in January 1,1991 as Michigan’s 46th governor. The race was close as the final vote count showed the Senate Majority Leader from Mt. Pleasant was a mere 19,130 votes ahead of the incumbent, James Blanchard. Blanchard took the loss in stride. “I called John and said I want to offer all my help and anything I could do to help the transition,” he said in a State News article. Taxes, education and the environment were key issues in both candidates’ platforms. Blanchard wanted to limit property tax assessments to the rate of inflation, increase state funding for education until equal with local schools, and give all state lottery profits to K-12 education. Blanchard is also an abortion rights advocate. Engler, on the other hand, proposed his cam­ paign to increase school funding, roll back property taxes by 20 percent, and to restore the free spirit enterprise in Michigan by restricting government involvement in business. Engler opposes abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother. In his inauguration speech, the new governor said parents would be able to choose which school their children would attend. “The decision to select one school or another for a child is best made by the child’s parents, not by government officials,” Engler said in an interview in The (Adrian) Daily Telegram. What do Michigan State University students think about Michigan’s first Republican governor in eight years, and about the election itself? “I think having a Republican in office will be a positive change for Michigan,” said Beth Allen, an advertis­ ing senior. “Engler is willing to make the necessary budget cuts to keep Michigan afloat.” Finance senior, Chris Day thinks “it’s time that we encourage business in Michigan. Blanchard drove it out, and Engler will bring it back in.” ".1 empire These include the Trump Shuttle, his East Coast air ser­ vice and his yacht, the Trump Princess. So what happened? Where did the money go? Forbes magazine said Tramp simply kept increasing his debts as real-estate values were dropping. Newsweek magazine re­ ported Tramp miscalculated on a number of things. For example, the real estate mar­ ket flattened, making lenders less willing to refinance prop­ erties based on speculative values. Another problem is that federal regulators are monitoring banks and their lending practices more closely now because of the savings and loan crisis. “You can’t do the old wink and keep on lending routine anymore,” one real-estate lawyer told Newsweek. Trump, who has done a lot of business with the Japanese, is fmdingroadblocks there too. DONALD, COULD You CoME out here For a momeht- I BEIIB/E YoO WERE DELBlQUEMT ON Your LASTAUfloMy CHECK... First of all, the Japanese stock market plunged and Tramp’s hopes for finding po­ tential financing sources went down with it. Second, one real estate broker said many Japanese in­ vestors are turned off because of Tramp’s scandalous di­ vorce from Ivana last year. friends Trump's told Newsweek he was just caught in an economic downturn at a time when his wallet was stretched. For now, Trump's flamboyant lifestyle must be curtailed as bankers decide the direction his future will take. Only time will tell how Tramp’s final autobiography will end. As one executive close to Tramp told Newsweek, “If he only had two more years of the 1980’s he’d have been all right.” Well, Donald, time marches on.

Engler seems like he is very capable.” Both Engler and Blanchard are MSU graduates. Engler graduated in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics. And while at MSU, Engler was the president of Shaw Hall his senior year. Blanchard was a 1964 graduate, majoring in history and economics, and he received a Master’s of Business Administration. His campus activities included sophomore and senior class president, a member of a student judiciary, and a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. 1990 —Out with the old and in with the new. James Blanchard was beaten in a dose race by John Engler. MANDELA: Fkeatlasl In February of this year, Nelson Mandela, 71, was released from imprisonment in South Africa. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1962 for plotting to overthrow the South African govememnt The release came after lengthy negotiations with President F.W. deKlerk. by Ruqaiyah Rogers On February 11,1990, Nelson Mandela, president of the African National and charged of treason and attempting to overthrow the government. Mandela was convicted and given life imprisonment Congress, was released from jail after being imprisoned for 27 years. In June of 1990, America was able to embrace the 71 -year-old man who has As a young man, Mandela gave up a career as a lawyer to j oin the fight against apartheid. He earned a bachelor’s degree and studied law at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. In the 1940’s he and a friend, Walter Sisula, formed a youth league in the ANC. Mandela was captured and sentenced for treason. come to symbolize strength, determination and courage. On his six week tour, Mandela visited New York, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles, Oakland and Detroit. Mandela’s U.S. tour centered on getting corporate America’s support for continued sanctions and a new South Africa. In 1961, Mandela was captured and sentenced five years for incitement and for crossing the border without a passport. Finally in 1964, he was tried again The scenario in each city was similar. Crowds shouting messages of peace with clenched fists raised towards the sky. School children and elderly people alike were waiting for hours to get a glimpse of a living legend. On June 28,1990, the city of Detroit had its chance to honor the man who went to jail rather than renounce his conviction that blacks had a right to battle racial oppression with armed struggle. President of the UAW, Owen Bieber, presented Nelson and Winnie Mandela with lifetime memberships to the UAW and accompanied Mandela to the Westin Hotel for receptions. At Tiger Stadium, a sold out crowd awaited for the arrival of whom many consider a “hero”. Reverend Jesse Jackson who attended the rally in New York described the atmosphere as “electric”. “In New York there was an uncertainty of how Mandela would be received, but there is no doubt here, Jackson said. Several entertainers such as R&B groups Maze and the Winans and solo artist Aretha Franklin delivered powerful performances. But the most electric entertainment was the 2000-member choir that performed until Mandela came. The streets of Detroit were cleared to help facilitate Mandela’s arrival. Other prominent black figures present were Detroit Pistons Isiah Thomas and John Salley, who helped Rosa Parks climb the steps to the stadium. When Mandela appeared the crowd chanted “viva Mandela, viva Mandela”. Mayor Coleman Young was the first to approach the podium. “Nelson Mandela has come to symbolize every man’s struggle for freedom. I shall introduce our 2000 member choir who will sing the African National Anthem in Zulu and the next voice you’ll hear is the greatest man living today.” Young said. Mandela’s main theme was “keep the pressure on”. He was referring to sanctions in South Africa. “How do I begin to thank you wonderful people of Detroit. You have received us with such warmth and affection. I wish could step down and embrace you all,” said Mandela. Mandela also thanked anti-apartheid activist, political parties, women and children. “In the Midwest you have developed a broad based anti-aparthied move­ ment,” he said. “It has given us enormous strength and courage,” Mandela said. Mandela recognized the multiple contributors to the development of the ANC made by Mayor Young, UAW president Owen Bieber, Congressman John Conyers, George Crockett Jr. and other noteworthy figures. Mandela remembered when he and others were in prison they appreciated and listened to the ifamous sound of Detroit — MoTown. “On reaching Detroit I recalled some of the words of the song sung by Marvin Gaye, a famous MoTown singer”, said Mandela. “The words go, quote Brother, brother, there’s far too many of you dying. Mother, mother there’s far too many of you crying.” Mandela said the words reflected the South African condition. “For how long must our brothers and sisters go on dying? For how long must our children be deprived of adulthood? For how long must our color and dignity be trampled upon? We declare not for long," said Mandela. Mandela closed encouraging that continuing efforts were needed to insure that sanctions did not end until the goal of one person, one vote was reached and apartheid was dismantled. “From this rostrum, let me say I respect you, I admire you, I love you.” PI 1 SililsI FREE ELECTIONS Excited Roma­ nians voted May 20 in their first free elections in 53 years. Interim President Ion Iliescu won in a landslide victory, but the opposition alleged elec­ tion fraud. Iliescu had been favored to win. His front, a loose group­ ing of former Communists, workers and technocrats that has dominated government since December’s revolution, also lead in the parliamentary vote. Rose still hopes for Hall of Fame by Ben Schmitt One of baseball’s most famous players and all- time base-hit leaders was transferred from a mini­ mum security prison to a Cincinnati halfway house on January 18, 1991. Pete Rose, a Cincinnati native, was almost home after serving five months in the Marion Federal Prison Camp. He will serve three more months in the Talbert Halfway House during evenings and will then go on probation for one year. Ej ected from baseball for gambling, Rose pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion and was sen­ tenced August 8, 1990. Now that he is almost done with his sentence, the question remains whether or not he will be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Under normal conditions he would be eligible as early as December 1991 because it will be his fifth season of retirement as a player. Pete Rose’s baseball abilities and statistics would have made him a “shoe-in” had this controversy not popped up. He tallied up 4,256 base hits, running past Ty Cobb’s record of 4,192 base hits, for the Major League record. Rose grew up only a few miles from Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium and was always loved by the baseball fans of Cincinnati. Many fans still support Rose and believe in his capabilities as a baseball player. Alone, that should earn him acceptance into the Hall of Fame. Others have called Rose a crook and say he gives baseball a bad name. Fans insist all spotlight ballplayers should be role models for children. Ei­ ther way, it is true Rose’s image has been tar­ nished—as a man and as a ballplayer. When people finally realized Rose’s gambling habits, the final question many of them encounter is whether or not he bet on his own team. That question is still left unanswered. “Gamblers are.. .aggressive ” Kevin Hallinan, security director of Major League Baseball, said. “They’re trying to get closer to the athletes and to people who work within the game.” According to the Washington Post, after learning Rose had made bets from ballparks, Vincent ordered all clubs to log incoming and outgoing phone calls from clubhouses and umpires’ locker rooms. “Once you get burnt, you start closing the doors,” Hallinan said, explaining Vincent’s actions. Pete Rose was part of Cincinnati—he was bom there, went to high school there, and broke Cobb’s record there. In 1985, the street in front of Riverfront Stadium was named Pete Rose Way. One of Rose’s great dreams was to be elected unanimously into the Hall of Fame. At 49, he just might see the day when he is forgiven by the League and the public, and admitted into the Hall of Fame. However, that possibility is yet to be decided. Pete Rose, former Cincinnati Reds manager, was betting on his own team. accused of Nolan Ryan can still put plenty of heat on his fastball. And at the ripe old age of 43 — in a game dominated by guys half his age — that says something about his lasting abilities. He holds more than 40 major league records, including most no-hitters, most one-hitters and most strike-outs. He got his name in the record books while playing for the New York Mets, the California Angels, the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. Ryan won his 300th game July 30, when the Rangers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers. WORLD SERIES The Cincinnati Reds, given no chance to beat the Oakland Athletics, needed only four quick games to win the World Series in one of the biggest upsets in baseball history. The Reds completed their improbable sweep on October 20 in spite of losing two star players, Eric Davis and Billy Hatcher, to injuries. Cincin­ nati relied on Jose Rijo and rallied for two runs in the eighth inning to win 2-1. It was the Athletics' third straight trip to the series. New Year's Bowl tainted by MLKJr. holiday vote by Steve Hogan What was at one time one of the most prominent New Year’s Day bowl games, turned into a fallout which tainted the image of not only a football game, but an entire state. When Arizona voters turned down a proposal to make a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe was turned away by many prospec-l tive football schools. National powers such as Notre Dame, Penn State, Virginia and Florida State turned down the bowl because of the rejection. The bowl committee eventually found the Uni­ versity of Alabama and the University of Louisville for the New Year’s day game, but the game wasn't as attractive as others. The National Football League dealt Arizona a blow by taking away the 1993 Super Bowll The NFL said there would be little chance, if any, if the state would get the prestigious game back. Another sport which felt the repercussions of the King referendum was the National Basketball As­ sociation. The NBA snatched the 1994 All-Star game from the state and also took away the league meetings for that year. Phoenix will not be getting a Major League baseball franchise either with the King vote killing any hope of a team. Phoenix was in line for one of two National League franchises but the vote hurt the city’s chances. Steinbrenner couldn't buy the American dream by Beth Fegan George Steinbrenner thought he could buy the American dream. He thought it was possible to achieve success without enduring hard work, perseverance, and patience. Steinbrenner thought money could buy anything, even if it meant tainting his way to the top. He found out he could not buy the dream — the hard way. Steinbrenner was dethroned from his reign as general partner of the New York Yankees on August 20, 1990. Allegations of his illegal payments to a known gambling agent forced Major League Baseball Commissioner, Fay Vincent, to order Steinbrenner’s resignation, although he could remain the team’s principal owner. Known as “The Boss,” Steinbrenner announced January 3,1973 that he was the head of a 15- man syndicate buying the Yankees from CBS for $10 million in cash. This was a bargain for a team which had won 29 pennants and 20 World Series championships in 44 years. From then on he set out to get his money’s worth. Although promising to stay out of the day-to-day operations of the club, Steinbrenner became one of baseball’s most overbearing owners in baseball history. Wanting one winning season after another, Steinbrenner fired the Yankees’ Team Manager Billy Martin, five times; more than some teams change managers in a generation. During 17 years, general managers changed 14 times and team presidents changed 10 times. This was not the beginning of Steinbrenner’s problems. On January 19, 1974, Steinbrenner was given an official pardon from the White House for a charge of conspiracy to make illegal campaign contributions to Richard Nixon, one of his heroes. Steinbrenner was given a slap on the wrist after pleading guilty to the charge in 1974. He was fined $15,000 and was suspended from the Yankees by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for 24 months. Many suspected he still ran the team through his general manager at the time, Gabe Paul. It came as no surprise then when rumors began to spread in the spring of 1990 about Steinbrenner’s relationship with a small-time gambling agent, Howard Spiro. Spirosaidhereceived$40,000fromSteinbrennerinretumforinformation on Dave Winfield, an outfielder Steinbrenner signed as a $20 million free agent in 1981. Commissioner Fay Vincent established Steinbrenner had violated some of the most fundamental premises in baseball involving gambling. Vincent gave the 60-year-old Steinbrenner one of the toughest rulings he could, short of forcing Steinbrenner to sell the club. Steinbrenner eventually found the success and money which are typical of the American dream, but the overwhelming power and responsibility adjoining this success caused him to take one chance too many. Thus, Steinbrenner went down in history in 1990. Sexism 1, Women 0: reporter’s story by Suzi Straffon artwork by Matt Persons Sexism one, women zero. Many feminists, reporters, and athletes feel furious, because these statistics are true in the wake of recent incidents in which women have been sexually harassed on the job. In September 1990, Boston Herald sports reporter, Lisa Olson, was inter­ viewing the New England Patriots football team in their locker room when five players began making lewd comments and gestures at her. They surrounded her and continued their taunts, daring her to touch their private body parts. She described the incident as a “mind rape.” Adding to the assault was Patriot owner Victor Kiam’s comment, “What a classic bitch. No wonder the players can’t stand her.” This was not the only embarrassing moment for females in the ‘90s. Jennifer Frey of the Detroit Free Press was verbally attacked by Detroit Tigers pitcher, Jack Morris, when she attempted a post-game interview. Tigers owner, Bo Schembechler, said Jack Morris was out of line, but his comments were, “predictable___your sports editor’s lack of common sense in sending a female college intern ... caused the problem.” These incidents bring society challenges it has heard too many times before. Is society ready for a completely egalitarian society; one in which reporters are reporters and not just men and women? When will these attitudes of sexism, attitudes that dehumanize and debase women, be eliminated? The most basic question for some is: Should women reporters be allowed in male locker rooms? Good questions, but not easily answered. “I blame management for allowing her (Olson) to come into the locker room. She came to interview people. . . management should’ve had a different system,” Clarence Underwood, MSU assistantathleticdirectorfor compliance, said. “They shouldn’t allow anyone to be exposed to that sort of situation—it’s disrespectful.” In North Carolina and Seattle, women reporters were banned from men’s locker rooms altogether. “I don’t think either men or women should be allowed,” Debbie Stevens, a member of the MSU women’s varsity basketball team, said. “There should be a press room where everyone can meet. It wouldn’t be the same as interviewing right after the game, but at least it would be fair.’’ MSU men’s varsity swim team member, John Cohen, said he agreed. Piston all-star guard Isiah Thomas scuffles with sports reporter by Brian Fee On October 2,1990, Isiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons had an alterca­ tion with Channel 2 sports reporter Virg Jacques in the parking lot at Oakland University following a Pis­ tons practice. Jacques said Thomas choked him and forced him against a nearby car. Thomas denied choking Jacques, but said there was an altercation. It seems Thomas was upset with Channel 2 for releasing a story Unking him to an FBI gambhng probe. Thomas had a different interpreta­ tion of the incident and stiU held mixed feelings toward Channel 2. Jacques told a Channel 2 news­ caster he was dropping the assault and battery charges after Thomas apolo­ gized to him in a closed interview on October 3. It was the Pistons’ media day at the University of Windsor when Thomas caUed Jacques into the locker room and personaUy extended his apology. Jacques said he was satisfied with Thomas’ apology and it took a big man to face up to his mistake and deal with the controversy around it. Poof! Magic gets Lakers by Kim Jenkins Magic Johnson, point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, surrendered a portion of his salary so the Lakers team could acquire Terry Teagle from the Golden State Warriors. Johnson, who reportedly makes $2.5 milhon a year, is beheved to have given up $75,000 for Teagle. Under the salary cap, NBA teams have salary restrictions on how much the team can spend on players’ sala­ ries. The Lakers had far exceeded the restrictions, hence unable to acquire the needed player. Consequently, Johnson took a pay cut, aUowing the Lakers to afford Teagle’s contract. Jerry West, the Lakers’ General Manager, said in a New York Times article, “Knowing we needed another first-rate player, Magic came to me several weeks ago and offered to give up part of his salary if we needed room under the salary cap to get a player we wanted. “We didn’t have money under the cap to pick up Terry ’ s contract without Magic giving up a substantial amount of his own salary,” West added. Johnson, a 1979 graduate of Michi- “I don’t see why they have to have women in there,” he said. “All reporters should meet in a press room. Athletes should have some time alone after an event;” Many colleges also agree. Central Michigan University provides a press room to allow equal access to all reporters. Neither the University of Michigan nor MSU allows any press in the locker rooms, mainly because of a lack of space,Ken Hoffman, MSU sports information director, said. All of Detroit’s major sport teams utilize a press room. There is an exception to the equal access rule—at the University of Notre Dame, male reporters are allowed in the locker rooms, but females are not. Many women are getting tired of men who perpetuate these harassments in the first place. Judy Trompeter, director of the Sexual Assault Information Network of Michigan's one of these women. “All these jerks should apologize,” Irompeter said, “Those woirien aren’t there to sneak looks at men’s private parts. They’re there to do a job. “ This kind of thing is demeaning for any reporter,” she added. Trompeter said the male attitudes are deeply rooted and sensitivity training should be required. What about the owners’ reactions? Victor Kiam’s “classic bitch” statement has been heard everywhere—from a “Saturday Night Live” skit to the news. Columnists are urging people to boycott Kiam’s claim-to-fame, the Remington electric razor, but sortie women feel that more punishment is needed. “They should apologize and go through a lot of training,” Carol Eberly, an MSU journalism professor, said. “It’sthatjock mentality, like, ‘Whatarethose (women) interlopers doing here?”’ ^■For him (Victor Kiam) to make that comment and then apologize to her— that’s the least he could do,” Underwood said. “I would have sued if I were her. Her reputation was damaged. No one should tolerate that.” Some feel simple respect for human beings is the issue. “These deep-seated attitudes will take a while to change... .It’s a question of respect for human beings,” John Clogston, a MSU journalism professor, said. “There is a perception of difference, and one has to be aware of those differences. Athletes are people too; they have their good and bad days.” Although the Patriots team, whom harassed Olson, were punished with a fine totaling $22,500, plus sensitivity training on how to deal with the media, the incident remains emblazoned in the history books. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP James "Buster*' Douglas wore a world heavyweight championship belt after his stunning knockout of Mike Tyson in Tokyo earlier this year. At 1:23 of the 10th round, Douglas knocked Tyson out with a five-punch combination.

However, his bid was unsuc­ cessful, and he did not receive a posi­ tion on the Board. To make room on the roster for the trade, the Lakers traded reserve center Mark McNamara to the San Antonio Spurs. Teagle, a 6’5” guard, was picked up from Golden State in exchange for a high draft choice. The Lakers will use him as an outside shooter. Nuclear vision: the (micro) wave of the future by Kelly Ann Boden photos by Make Melasi Microwave energy can not only cook your turkey roast in about an hour, but it can now give you eye sight without the hassle of glasses resting at the tip of your nose. B. Stuart Trembly, associate professor of engineering science at Dartmouth Col­ lege, has constructed a pencil-shaped mi­ crowave eye tool for trouble free eyesight. The device can permanently correct vi­ sual illnesses like nearsightedness, far­ sightedness and astigmatism. It heat shrinks an ill-shaped cornea, so it can be re-shaped. The microwave heat is applied to the stroma, at about 135 degrees and a cooling section that provides saline solution to pro­ tect the surface of the eye from heat damage is added. Rogue cells may be the answer to curing nature's most elusive disease by Kelly Ann Boden People seem to believe if a cancerous tumor is surgically removed the disease will not kill them. The first malignant tumor, however, does not cause the cancer. The mutation and spreading of the Research attempting to find and create a cure for cancer has been following the steps of the disease's growth. People with cancer die of what is called “metastasis”. Garth Nicolson, onc^^^p at the University of Texas said. Metastasis is the spread of the disease to other parts of the body. By the time most cases of cancer are diagnosed six out of ten patients have already experienced metastasis. Research has found metastasis is related to the DNA chain. A mutation in the in the DNA can cause the cancer cells to break free. The gene, if mutated, will allow the tumor cell to enter the bloodstream, travel throughout the body and park in any organ of the body. The lining of the membrane falls apart because of chemicals the tumor cell releases and die tumor cell moves in between the cell lining and the organ. The chemicals and the cells push their way through the blood vessels and into the new orgar where it continuously divides to form a new tumor. Oncologists are working towards a day when they will be able to stop the spreading of cancer into healthy cells. At least, understanding how these rogue cells work can give oncologists a boost. no more chrome domes A cure tor tlie shiny top blues by Kelly Ann Boden Balding men can heave a big sigh of relief — there is hope for them — at least those who are not completely bald. Richard A. Strick, director of UCLA’s dermatology center has discovered an experimental drug which may turn the sensitive subject of baldness around. The drug, called Cyoctol, has been shown to reverse the effects of hair loss. The hitch, however is it only grows results for those men with “early male pattern baldness”. This baldness is the causation of androgen hormones grouping to receptor sites in hair roots. The grouping causes hair to get smaller and thinner until the scalp will discontinue producing hair. The Cyoctol cream has produced a 12 percent increase in the hairs counted on the bald spots of men. Cyoctol has not been approved by the FDA as of yet, only minoxidil for baldness has, but Strick is attempting comparison studies to prove which is more effective to cover an empty head. fogue Cells The launch date was again delayed from August to October to allow time for more testing. Soon after, the space shuttle Challenger exploded and the fall date was canceled. Fuel shortages bumped flight back to April 24,1990, when the HST was finally launched. The flaw in the mirror was detected as the scien­ tists were struggling to focus on the bright star Iota Carina. Countless shifts of the mirror proved futile and confirmed the scientists worst fears-the mirror was flawed. The flaw was known as “spherical aberration”- by Suzi Straffon artwork by Matt Persons July 9, 1990 -Are we alone in the universe? What does a quasar look like? How big is the universe? The answers to these questions and many more were the promise of the Hubble Telescope, a mega-telescope that was designed to reveal some of the great mysteries of the universe. That promise was broken, however, soon after the telescope was launched in early April of 1990. To the horror of astronomers and laymen alike, a flaw was discovered in the giant $ 15-million pri­ mary mirror, a glitch that made the promises empty ones. The telescope, it seemed, was a failure. The HST experienced difficulties ever since the idea was conceived in the early 1960’s. The 13- ton spacecraft has been bogged down with technical problems, po­ litical hesitation and a manage­ rial system that has been de­ scribed as “Byzantine” by some science magazines. It was finally assembled in 1985, the brain­ child of Princeton astrophysicist Lyamn Spitzer. Spitzer is considered to be the father of the Hubble Telescope; he pushed Congress for its funding in 1977. The companies chosen to build the HST were Perkin-Elmer, a subsidiary of General Motors, and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company. The original launch date was in 1983, but was pushed back due to problems ranging from poor management to computer software bugs. The flight date was switched to 1985, then to August 1986. The Hubble was kept in a high-tech Lockheed facility in Sunnyvale, Calif., at a price tag of $7 to $10 million per month. the mirror’s measurements were off by 1 1/4 centimeters. “This was a gross, gross error,p said Dr. Susan Simkin, Professor of Astronomy and Physics at MSU. “Even an amateur astronomer could have detected that error,1” Simkin described a procedure called candling that is used to test mirrors. A light is reflected off a mirror, then the patterns are analyzed and mea­ sured to determine the accuracy of the mirror. Simkin compared the error in the $1.5 billion telescope to making glasses. “If you don’ihave the right prescription, you can’t see,” she said. What the flaw means is that light reflected from any two spots lying at different distances from the earth’s center don’t focus at the same point. Instead of focusing on clear, bright stars and quasars, the Hubble presents them as blurred smears. The aggravating factor is that if the mistake would have been caught, it could have been cor­ rected by simply re-polishing the mirror. The problem cannot be corrected from the ground. The flaw is too large to be erased with the fine-tuning possible through radio signals. There is a backup mirror that was built by Eastman- Kodak, but as­ tronauts could never maneuver the mirror into place; it is sim­ ply ¿too large. Returning the HST to Earth is out of the ques­ tion, as a speck of dust or dirt on the surface of the mirror would ruin it. The flaw is irrepairable, but it can be com-S pensated for to some degree. Computers can be used by sci­ entists to sharpen some of the distorted images. Radio can signals the move backup mirror somewhat, but not enough to com­ pensate for the flaw entirely. Some blame has been placed on Perkin-Elmer, the corporation chosen to build the mirror. Scien­ tists insist there was no more money to test the mirror, as it had run over the budget by almost $400,000 but some NASA scientists say that the mirror could have been tested at almost no cost. Some lay the blame with the computer device that guided the production of the mirror. Whatever the case, one cannot help but ask: Why wasn’t the problem detected before takeoff? Hubble Telescof Morrill Hall ceiling collapses "There's no reason to believe our buildings aren't safe. " fl years of experience at MSU, there have been few structural accidents like this one at Morrill Hall. “There’s no reason to believe our buildings aren’t safe,” Kavanagh said. He also said the suspended ceiling at Morrill Hall was installed in the 1930s, using outdatedmethods. Staples used to attach ceiling hangers to the building’s wooden frame have loos­ ened over time as a result of norm d vibrations and drying out the frame Kavanagh said methods used o construct the Morrill Hall ceiling ha e not been used elsewhere on campu; by David Kusz photo by K. Kieliszewki Despite the collapse of the base­ ment ceiling at Morrill Hall, MSU officials are assuring students of the safety of campus buildings. In early February 1991, a 12 by 40-foot section of the suspended ceiling in the basement of Morrill Hall collapsed. No one was injured, but emergency sprinkler system water lines were ruptured, sending gallons of water onto the basement floor. Mark Risjord, an associate phi­ losophy professor, was in his office with a student discussing philoso­ phy when the accident occurred. “It was a hell of a crash... and we heard the sound of rushing water down the hall,” Risjord said. “We looked out and we could see water streaming down the wall.” Risjord left his office, but re- moved books and other belongings he thought might be ruined in the flood. | i ) j j Concerns raised about the safety of other buildings on campus have been dispelled by Joe Kavanagh, i MSU Director of Facilities and 1 Maintenance. He said in his 35 MSU sports plagued with chaiges of rape and drug use by Brian Fee The past year has seen three dif­ ferent Michigan State University athletes have encounters with po­ lice concerning drug associations and a coach be charged with alleged rape.

The incident which has cast the largest cloud over MSU athletics in recent history is the arrest of basketball player Parish Hickman on drug charges. Hickman was arrested for intent to sell co­ caine and is al­ legedly involved with a large drug ring throughout state. the Hickman and his attorney deny the and charges is Hickman awaiting trial. Carlos Marino Former MSU football player Carlos Marino was also arrested this year on 1-96 near Okemos for possession of cocaine and assault, in separate inci­ dents. Marino is also awaiting trial. Yet another former MSU football player, Lenier Payton, was also arrested on drug related charges this spring. Suspended MSU wrestling coach Phil Parker was arrested this spring on alleged rape charges and is awaiting trial. What has happened to the individuals the public con­ role siders models for today’s youth? Why all of the recent incidents? ShouldMSU administration enforce tighter restrictions and guidelines? No one has the answers to these questions, but they are definitely ones to be given consideration. Phil Parker Kissinger What do we do for an encore? by Katie Curler Former U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, spoke about the emerging world picture and Ameri­ can foreign policy May 15,1991 at the Kellogg Center. Addressing the swift changes to­ ward America’s goals of democracy in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Kissinger sees a need for a new direction. “We achieved all of this and ex­ ceeded it. What makes it all the more remarkable is that on Inaugu­ ration Day 1991 no one could have predicted it, including me,” he said. “The problem is what we do for an encore?” he said. “What should we go after in the next 50 years?” Kissinger compared the modem balance of equalized world power as closer to the 19th Century Europe than the dual structure of the Cold War. He sees this balance as crucial to world stability. of notion that Americans have ever been comfort­ able with, but it’s some­ thing we have to get used to.” In addressing the Middle East crisis, Kissinger said the Per­ sian Gulf War was in­ evitable, and praised President Bush for his actions. Peace in the Middle East is a possibility, but an unlikely one, because of 3,000 years of dis­ agreements and war, Kissinger said. “Of course there’s turmoil in the Middle East, the question is, ‘Are we better off after the war?’ There’s no question we’re better off,” he said. Former ILS. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger “We need to keep countries in some sort of balance with each other,” he said. “That is not the type Kissinger, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, visited the MSU as the finale of the Citizens Symposia, a six-part lecture series sponsored by the Citizens Insurance Company of America. George Perles finds he can't be just like Bo some think he don't know diddley by Scott Klefstad As the controversy over the alleged criminal acts by certain MSU athletes erupted in 1991 Blast year’s static surrounding the hiring of George Perles as athletic director was still going strong. According to a State News article, the decision to grant Perles both jobs as head football coach and athletic director received criticism from protestors who said affirmative action and equal opportunity were not used in the hiring process. The MSU Board of Trustees voted 5-3 in favor of hiring Perles. Because this controversy received such heavy media coverage, other aspects of the university, primarily the education department, were left out, MSU President John DiBiaggio said he questioned the accountability of the power structure in the athletic department if Perles became his own boss. With the existence of non-revenue sports dependent on the judgment of the athletic director, the coaches of these teams seem to be pleased with Perles. He provided all 22 teams with support this year, a process which was uncommon m the past. Perles’ trial year as athletic director will be reviewed in June 1991, The Associated Press took a controversial poll of eight MSU Trustees and said five of them did not approve of Perles’ performance as athletic director. The trustees, however, told The State News the poll was not valid. Criticism was pointed at Perles again this year when he chose not to speak immediately after the alleged drug convictions of certain MSU athletes. The position for athletics director opened when Doug Weaver announced his retirement in 1990. He had been the athletic director at MSU for 10 years. Bodies of 2 MSU students found in Red Cedar by Scott Klefstad After 12 years, the Red Cedar River once again left MSU’s campus scarred with two tragic drownings during the 1990-91 school year. On November 17, 1990, Dale Shields’ body was discovered in the river behind Shaw Hall. He was an accounting graduate student, and he lived in Owen Graduate Hall. Shields was bom in Cheboygan, Michigan, and was considered an avid sports fan. He was at Munn Ice Arena on the night of his death to watch the Spartan hockey team defeat Boston College. He was last seen at a party off campus. Shields was a member of Beta Al­ pha Psi honorary accounting frater­ nity, and would have received his Master’s Degree in August 1991,. Authorities said they did not be­ lieve foul play was involved, and con­ sider his death accidental. The second drowning victim was discovered on March 21,1991 by two MSU students. The body of Fouad Salman Nakhli, a former MSU math­ ematics student from 1987 to 1989, was found floating in the river near the corner of Michigan Avenue and Harrison Road. MSU Department of Public Safety Deputy Director, Andrew McEntee said Nakhli’s body had been in the river for about two months. An au­ topsy showed the death was caused from either drowning or exposure. It appeared to be natural. After leaving MSU, Nakhli enrolled as a mathematics student at the Uni­ versity of Minnesota. He had origi­ nally attended The American Univer­ sity in his hometown, Beirut, Leba­ non. It was unclear to area friends why Nakhli returned to East Lansing be­ cause he had not contacted any of them before he arrived. Athleti John A.Hannah dies by Kelly McKaig When John A. Hannah passed away on February 23,1991, it was a time of loss not only for MSU, but also for the country. Hannah served as president of MSU for nearly 28 years. In addi­ tion, he served on various special committees for four U.S. Presi­ dents—Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Nixon. Hannah, originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, came to MSU first as a student. He switched from studying law at the University of Michigan when the head of the MSU Poultry Department offered him a job upon his graduation. Hannah began his administrative career with MSU as Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, then the gov­ erning body of MSU. Right from the beginning, Hannah had visions of a growing, changing university and pushed for actions to help bring it about. As aresultofhis efforts, the number of buildings on campus doubled. Hannah also supported the hiring of younger faculty, with fresh ideas. When moved into the presidency on July 1, 1941, he continued to follow his previous expansionary policies. He guided MSU as it grew from a vocational, agricultural col­ lege of 6,000 to a diverse university of 40,000. When asked why he chose uni­ versity administrating over other, more glamorous careers he could have had, he said, “If a person was really concerned about making some kind of contribution to the world, I thought that a role in the administra-| tion of a university. . . provided a person with an opportunity to have an effect for the good on the lives of more people than anything I could see in society Hannah passed away in his son’s home in Kalamazoo after suffering from bone cancer. I^eonard Bernstein Leonard Bernstein died on Oc tober 14,1990. Known world-wid as a musician, composer and con ductor, he was best known as bein the laureate director of the New York City Philharmonic Orchestra In 1958, he became the first American-born conductor to head a major orchestra. His achievements include two Grammy s and scores of many Broadway musicals, like “West Side Story,” “Candide,” and the film “On the Waterfront,” which earned him an Oscar nomination. Bernstein died in his New York City home at the age of 72. Actor andfounder of children's hospital passes away by Kelly McKaig houses. Danny Thomas passed away on February 6,1991, leaving behind him a legacy in show business as a great entertainer and humanitarian. Thomas, originally fromDeerfield, Michigan, got his start in show busi­ ness when he dropped out of high school to become a character actor. His first job in the business was mak­ ing the sound of horses’ hooves for “The Lone Ranger” radio show by banging plungers on his chest. Thomas had his first real taste of success while he was doing stand-up comedy in saloons and burlesque Thomas then switched to television and starred in the situation comedy “Make Room for Danny,” which later became known as ‘ The Danny Thomas Show.” The series ran from 1953 to 1964. The road to success was not always smooth for Thomas. At one point, his career was in a slump and his wife was urging him to leave show business. Always a religious man, Thomas prayed to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless, impossible, and dif­ ficult cases, and promised if his career took a positive turn, he would erect a shrine to the saint. From then on, Thomas’ s career took off and, as a result, Thomas founded St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The hospital cares for terminally ill children. He considered this his most important ac­ complishment . He spent most of his later years raising funds for the hos­ pital. Last year alone, he raised $92 million. Thomas wrote an autobiography just before his death called §‘Make Way for Danny.1. v Obituaries Henson was negotiating sales of Henson Associates and his creative services with Walt Disney at the time of his death in New York City. Bom in 1904, Skinner is remembered for his many theories on behaviorism in psychology. His experiments with laboratory animals (the “Skinner box”) and his studies are taught all over the world. He was a professor emeritus in psychology at Harvard University un­ til his death, and wrote lObooks during his lifetime. Skinner died in Cam­ bridge, Massachusetts. films.

Garbo made 24 films for Metro Goldwyn Mayer (her only company), including “Anna Karenina.” After stopping her career in 1941, she be­ came known as “the world’s best- known wandering recluse.” In 1955 she received a special Oscar for her achievements in the film industry. Garbo died in New York City, her home for 37 years. MichaelLandon, actor, director and producer died of inoperable cancer of the pancreas and liver on July 1,1991. the star of TV's Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven is survived by nine children and his wife Cindy. Jim Henson, father of everyone’s favorite frog, died on May 16, 1990. Henson was the Emmy-winning cre­ ator of the television shows “Sesame Street” (1969-present) and “The MuppetShow”(1976-1981). Hemade three movies with his famous charac­ ters (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Big Bird, Fozzy, etc.), and designed puppets and costumes for other films, like “The Dark Crystal,” “Labyrinth,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Rocky Graziano Former middleweight boxing champ Rocky Graziano died in June 1990. Graziano had a colorful ca­ reer, with a 67-10-6 record and 52 knockouts. He boxed professionally for 10 years, then retired in 1952. He then became a television come­ dian and personality. Graziano was known for his unique jumbled-up English. He died of a heart attack in New York City, at 71. Greta Garbo Greta Garbo was dubbed “the Swedish sphinx” for her enigmatic, yet aloof persona. Garbo, who died on April 15,1990, is remembered for her career in late-silent, early-”talkie” era Jose Duarte Jose Napoleon Duarte, former president of El Salvador, died on Feb­ ruary 23,1990. Bom in 1925, Duarte was a democratic idealist who came to the United States to receive an educa­ tion. After graduating from the Uni­ versity of Notre Dame, he returned to his country and helped found the re­ formist Christian Democratic Party in 1960. He was freely elected president of El Salvador in 1984, and served until 1989. Duarte died in San Salva­ dor. B.F. Skinner, world-renowned psychologist, died on August 18,1990. Blues great sings last song: Vaughn killed in helicopter by CarolynFischer The music world suf­ fered a tragic loss when Stevie Ray Vaughn, blues guitarist, was killed in a helicopter crash on Au­ gust 10,1990. The helicopter, envel- oped in dense fog, crashed into a hill in the early morning. The accident was after a concert with Eric Clapton in Milwau­ kee, Wis. The helicopter’s pilot and three members of Clapton’s entourage were also killed. There were no survivors in the crash. Clapton, in another heli­ copter, landed safely in Chicago. Vaughn was known as a blues traditionalist. A New York Times critic, Jon Pareles characterized Vaughn’s style of playing as “a smooth, long-lined summation of Texas blues, ornately fihgreed phrase after phrase.” Vaughn, 35, was bom in Dallas, Texas and was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughn, former guitar player for the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The brothers recently collaborated on an album, entitled “Family Style”, which was released follow­ ing the accident. It was Vaughn’s last recording. On August 31, 1990, a memorial service for Vaughn was held at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. Mourners included members of ZZ Top, Jeff Healey, and Stevie Wonder. At the service, Jackson Browne, singer and musician said the influence of Vaughn and his music will be “totally felt” for quite some time. In the beginning of his music career, Vaughn formed the band Double Trouble. In 1985, he won a Grammy for his album “Blues Explosion”. In 1990, he won another Grammy for his album “In Step”. Vaughn was awarded musician of the decade in his home state of Texas, and “Guitar Player Magazine” added his name to its’ “Gallery of the Greats” in 1989.

Olin Health Center offers confidential and anony­ mous HIV testing through a series of pre- and post­ testing sessions, Frost estimated 10 to 12 people a week seek pre-test counseling. She said about one in 100 test positive for the HIV virus. If tested positive, the patient is then referred to by Dave Kusz It is estimated that 54,000 people will die from AIDS in 19911 a report issued by the United States Surgeon General, Antonia Novello, said. AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, continues to perplex the medical world—as the number of cases rise, research has yet to provide a cure. Research conducted by the Ameri­ can College Health Association involved 19 campuses across the United States, including Michigan State University, concluded three students per thousand are in­ fected with the human immunod­ eficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. Richard P. Keeling, presi­ dent of the ACHA, warned institutions must prepare to deal with the educational, medical and psychologi­ cal needs the campus community will require in the next few years. He added behavioral research will also be necessary in augmenting educational programs. "A num­ ber of stu­ dents are becoming HIV in­ fected and they're not taking it seriously." Meanwhile, at MSU, campus health administrators maintain support for fundamental AIDS education programs. Deborah Frost, Community Health Associate at Olin Health Center, said students perception of not being in a high risk group often leads them to ignore messages about safer sex. "A number of students are becoming HIV infected and they're not taking it seriously. They don't believe that there really is a risk to students attending college because they think of themselves as being protected ... in a type of atmosphere where everyone's pretty well educated and people came from pretty well-to-do families," Frost said. People forget that casual sex, needle sharing and many other possible ways of spreading the AIDS virus exist, even at MSU. .

MSU Lesbian/Gay Council and Action AIDS Awareness are two additional support and educa­ tional groups accessible to the MSU community. STRAIGHT to the CORE by Paula Turner The Coalition of Racial and Ethnic Students (CORES) and the Coalition of Progressive Stu­ dents Council (COPS), filled seven new seats on the ASMSU Student Board this year. Both COPS and CORES gained voting power foritssevenrepresented organizations. __________________ ASMSU & CORES CORES represents the Black Student Alli­ ance (BSA), Asian Pacific American Student Organization (APASO), North American In­ dian Student Organization (NAISO), and Coa­ lition of Hispanic Students for Progressive Ac­ tion (CHISPA). COPS represents the Lesbian/ Gay Council, Women’s Council, andHadicapper Council. Three bills were considered for the inclusion of the organizations. The first, allowed one representativeeach from COPS and CORES. The second, offered three seats including two representatives from CORES and one from COPS. The third, and ultimately approved by the Policy Committee, allows one seat for each of the seven organizations represented by CORES and COPS. This bill proposed to expand the diversity of the Student Board and has left everyone quite pleased. “It’s an important decision because we now can make a stand,” said Connie Tingson, co­ president of APASO. “We needed a voice because we are a significant portion of the MSU population.” Chris Kemnitz, executive director of the Student Board, hopes the additional seats will allow for a more accurate representation of the student body. Kemnitz said the addition will give ASMSU a closer connection to important minority issues. The groups will act the same as in the past, and their responsibilities will not increase, but Kemnitz said he feels this addition will cause some changes. “I believe this addition will cause the Student Board to react to minority positions faster and in a more sensitive way,” Kemnitz said. Tingson said the additional seats will bring about more awareness to the activities of the board. “Being on the Student Board has opened the eyes of my group,” Tingson said. “Before we ISMSU, CORES & COPS were members of the Programming Board, but CORES only had one vote. This gave each group only one- fourth of a vote, and now we each have our own vote and have more power to actually sway a bill.” Because this bill was passed during the year, the new voting members did not get to take much action, but are excited about impending decisions to be made in the fall. The debates on block tuition, handicapper accessibility, and lo­ cal political issues will continue to be discussed in the fall. Also, the groups hope to make some changes along with Switch ‘92, the transi­ tion to a semester sys­ tem. Many groups are hoping to add courses about their heritage, such as Asian-Ameri­ can courses. DANCE HERITAGE by Melissa K. Schumaker The North American Indian Student Organi­ zation (NAISO) held its 10th Annual Pow-Wow on Feb. 16 and Feb. 17,1991. This year’s pow­ wow was the largest ever held on the Michigan State University campus. Originally, a pow-wow or celebration as it to was called first, was held in the spring celebrate the new beginning of life. It was a time for people to get together, sing, dance, renew old friendships and make new ones. The pow-wows hold religious significance also. They are an opportunity for families to hold naming and honoring ceremonies. Some trace the word __________________ “Pow-Wow” to the Algonquian language, and believe that white people used it to mean a council or meeting. NAISO POW-WOW Today, pow-wows are still very much a part of the lives of many Native Americans. The pow-wow season can be as early as March and last until September. Several celebrations take place every weekend. Many families pack up and go on the “circuit.” Some of the traditional activities at a pow­ wow include singing, dancing, and art and crafts. Twenty tribes attended this year’s celebra­ tion. Native American Indian traders sold au­ thentic silver work, bead items, and traditional buckskin crafts at the pow-wow. Competitive dancing and singing for prize money is a fairly recent change in the traditional pow-wow. Prize money is awarded to the person with the most points. Most of the religious ceremonies are no longer part of the pow-wow. The naming ceremonies, for instance, are more often con­ ducted in the privacy of the family rather than at the celebration. But honoring ceremonies still remain today. Another important symbol that still remains is the circle. The dancers are in the center of a circle, the drums and the audience form a circle around them. The pow-wow brings the circle of people closer to their family, friends, and their Native American Culture. This Spread: Members of the North American Indian Student Organization (NAISO) celebrated their cultural heritage at their annual Pow-Wow. It was open to eveyone and included diplays of traditional Indian dance, attire, crafts and music. photos by Christina Schuck .TUMPING over the COMPETITION by Angela Thomas Although they have a coach and compete in two to three weekend shows a term, the MSU Equestrian team functions similar to a club. Like a club, they have fund-raisers, social activities, and elected officers. Current member- ship consists of nearly __________________ 100 students. Equestrians Team members do not have to own a horse to participate, since coach Leesa Massman gives lessons on her own horses at Wooden Gate Farm in Mason. For shows, competitors ride horses belonging to the host school, and draw the name of the horse they will ride 10 minutes before their class begins. In this way they are given an unbiased test of skill. Competitors travel to shows in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and occasionally to Wis­ consin and Iowa. They usually leave for the show on Friday, compete in classes all day Saturday and Sunday, and head for home on Sunday evening. The competition ranges ffoiffl beginner to advanced levels, including both stock seat (Western) and hunt seat (English) styles of riding. The team has done very well in past competition. The Western team has been National Champions for the past two years, and the English team was second of 20 in the region last year. The Equestrian team has also sent individuals to Nationals.

The money raised covers general maintenance fees, competitions, and insur­ ance. The skiers placed seventh in the United States National Water Skiing Collegiate Tournament at Northwestern Louisiana Uni­ versity in Monroe, La. in October, pie team qualified for the nationals by capturing first place at the Midwest Regional’s competition in Decatur, 111. in September. The team is comprised of seven men and five women and is part of the water ski club, which contains up to 90 people. Anyone is eligible for membership in the club which is comprised of beginners to advanced skiers, but the team membership is limited to 15 men and 15 women. Some members of the club are not students of Michigan State but residents of East Lansing who are interested in the sport. There is no established coach for the club, therefore the team members coach each other. A few graduates remain and assist with coaching, but presently the team is without a coach, said team member Tracey Klinect. “There are a few grads who stick around to help coach, but for the most part, we are on our own,” Klinect said. The team started approximately ten years ago, when a freshman approached present advisor, Russ Rivet, with the idea of forming a water ski team. Water Skiers “I didn’t think it would ever work out, but it did,” Rivet said. One hundred students showed up at the first meeting and the team was on its way. Rivet signed the loan for the Master Craft and the team began. The team competes at several other com­ petitions, including a local competition in the spring. The competitions are split into three divisions: jumping, slalom, and tricks. Jumping is based on three jumps. The distance of each jump is measured and points are awarded for the farthest distance. Slalom challenges the skier to dodge six buoys while the boat speed gradually increases to 34m.p.h. for women and 36 m.p.h. for men. Tricks are judged on how many can be performed in 20 seconds. They include back­ ward and forward turns and full or half turns, using one or both skis. Klinect said the tryouts are held during welcome week. A ski-off is held with the men judging the women and vice versa. In the spring the team attends Bennett’s Water Skiing School in Louisiana. The camp works on the fundamentals of water skiing. “It really works out well, git’s very fair,” Klinect said of the tryouts. The team practices Monday through Fri­ day at 6 p.m. on the Grand River in two-hour time blocks. The club rents boat space frog the Lansing Sailing Club. The boat is pur-i chased through a collegiate program that al­ lows the club to obtain a loan to buy the boat, then sell it back at the end of the year to pay off the loan. The team pays interest on the loan throughout the year. Gas prices for the Master Craft boat are funded through toll tickets or gas cards, for which every member pays $41.50. Every time a member practices, the gas card is punched and the fee is paid. Fundraisers and dues solely support the club. A raffle is held along with a Beach Party Bar Night at the Silver Dollar Saloon, where “The trainers know we don’thave aregular coach, so they pay more attention to us. It’s fun,” Klinect said. The water skiing season mns from Sep­ tember to mid-October and begins again in the spring with the first bout of warm weather, usually around the beginning of April. The club holds regular meeting to discuss current events. Officers are Mark Friese, presidents racey Klinect, vice president; and Greg Frey, also vice president. Klinect expects the winning streaks to con­ tinue in the spring, even though two of the top women on the team will be gone. Rivet says the club is very well organized. “These kids do a fantastic job,” Rivet said. “This is something they’ll take with them for the rest of their lives.” Water Ski Tea AN INVITATION to EXCELLENCE by Paula Turner The Hospitality Association, at Michigan State University, takes on some big responsibili­ ties when trying to bring students and perspec­ tive employers together. Hospitality “The Hospitality Association allows stu- ________________ dents to make contacts with all aspects of the industry,” AllegraFlindt, Hospitality Association president, said. “It helps you to meet leaders in the industry and learn what jobs are available.” The Association serves as a parent organiza­ tion to six student clubs: the Managers Club! ConsultantClub,TravelMarketingClub,Society for Food Management, International Associa­ tion of Culinary Professionals, and the Student Hotel Sales Organization. The main unit of the club holds meetings weekly or bi-weekly, de­ pending on the events they are planning. Each sub-group is involved in a variety of activities and often bring in speakers for students interested in a particular field. The entire club starts the year off with a bang with its Career Expo, while they rap it up in style with Les Gourmets. The Nov. 11, 1990, Career Expo consisted of over 70 companies looking to recruit about 200 students. From there the association charged full speed ahead to their biggest event of the year, Les Gourmets. This dinner for over 275 executives is planned and produced by students. Executive director of Les Gourmets, Amy Andon, said it is the organization's chance to show- off what they have. The university turns over the Kellogg Center to the associationfor this non-profit extravaganza. Theeveningbeginswithatourofthe kitchen facilities and closes with an elegant dinner in the ballroom. As director, Andon’s biggest task was recruit­ ing individuals needed to produce the evening. From coat check to cooking, serving to greeting,, at least 300 students are needed. Andon’s posi­ tion often requires 40 hours a week as final preparations are completed. “In a major consist­ ing of about only 800 students, it’s difficult to get that much involvement,” Andon said. Newsletters produced by the association are sent out to all HRI majors. But the hospitality association is open to any MSU student. Andon confided she did not know what she was getting into, but said, “Once you start getting involved it gets in your blood.” Andon summed up the Hospitality Associa­ tion as one of the most active groups on campus. Once the evening of Les Gourmets draws to a close, both Andon and Flindt agreed, “you feel your hard work has paid off.” Andon added, “It’s the greatest high to know that students put the whole thing together.” Above: Eric Worley, president of Tower Guard, reads for Brigitta Herrmann—who is studying for a psychology test scheduled for finals week, photo by DA. Biermann LEADING the BLIND by Anne Brandenburg Trying to find a classroom at Michigan State is hard enough when you are a new student. Imagine if you were a new student and also blind. BirgittaHerrmann is ablind student. Like many other blind students she was a little scared of her ______________ first adventures at MSU. However, she was re­ lieved when she foundTower Guard out about Tower Guard. The main goal of the Tower Guard is to serve the blind students on campus. “We can’t quite make it without them,” Herrmann said. TheTowerGuardisasophomorehonor society which consists of 80 students chosen out of the top 4 percent of the freshman class. Withouttheserviceofthe organization theblind would have a difficult time overcoming many obstacles that come easy to other students, such as, reading assignments and getting to class. Because braille editions of textbooks do not come out fast enough, the members of the Tower Guard are required to readfourhoursaweektoblindstudents. There are approximately 27 blind students on campus and the Tower Guard also serves a few of the dyslexic students. Dyslexics often reverse the letters of words or perceive them upside-down, making it difficult to read. When ablind studentanives atMSU, amember of the Tower Guard takes him around to show how to get to his classes. During the walk, the blind student pays attention to cracks in the sidewalk, sewer gratings, sound-activated lights, and trees whose leaves rustle in the wind. Members of the Tower Guard participate in an annual talent show with the blind students. ‘It’s a way for us all to have fun together,” said Eric Worley, president of the Tower guard. The Tower Guard also ushers student convoca­ tions, work registration, and reads exams to the handicapped. Sarah Hannah was one of the founders of the Tower Guard, which originally a female honorary until 1978. Hannah, the wife of former MSU President John A. Hannah and the daughter of former MSU President Robert S. Shaw, called the organization the Question-MarkGirls in the 1930’s. Today, it is still predominantly female.

Tower Gu SPEAKING with an INDEPENDENT VOICE it was mn by the Student Publications Board. Currently, the State News is one of the largest college newspapers in the country in terms of circulation and revenue, said Allen Swartzell, State News General Manager. The paper’s total circulation fluctuates from about 34,000 to 38,000 because of the fluctuation of enrollment (graduating seniors, incoming freshmen, ect.). The State News has a staff of over a hundred people, most of which are students that work in writing, advertising, and photography. Edi- tor-in-Chief Peg West said most of the students have full load of classes and also have to work a minimum of 25 hours a week on the paper. “It is an excellent way to learn time management,” West said. When asked about any financial problems, Swartzell replied that the recession caused by the Gulf War has effected the State News to a veiy small extent, but it is nothing to cause any majoi concern. He pointed out that the paper also lost a little revenue to Focal Point, an African American publication. Students were obtaining refunds for their original subscription to the State News (included in tuition) in order to give theii money in support of Focal Point. The State News is constantly undergoing improvements and/or changes. Some are no­ ticeable and some are not. These changes range from omitting sections to slightly changing the style of type. The paper is very dynamic, “Evolutionary” as Swartzell puts it. Swartzell said with every new staff, there is basically a new State News. by Shawn Boeneman The State News is practically as much a tradition at MSU as “Sparty” and the Michigan State fight song.

Biermann News AN alternative VIEWPOINT by Kim Jenkins In 1982, a brainstorm was exploded in the college of Communication Arts and Sciences—the need for a paper to serve the needs of minority students. Focal Point, a black-operated paper for minorities, started ________________ official production in 1989 under journal- ï'rvr» at f UyAL K v/IlN 1 PflTMT ism graduate Chris Murray. This years editor, Trabian Shorters, brought a different slant to the paper. “Chris Murray resurged the idea for Focal Point, but I put a new emphasis in that it became ablacknewspaper covering other minority issues as well,” Shorters said. When the first six issues of Focal Point came out, Shorters said it was received with reluctance. “People were asking, why have a black newspaper ?” he said. The State News acknowledged the pa­ per as an open forum for minority issues. “Focal Point serves as an important func­ tion on campus," saidState News Editor-in- Chief, Peg West. "It is a specialized paper... We respect it.” Focal Point has overcome the obstacle of recognition in terms of establishing an office and receiving funding. However, it has yet to surpass the stigma of being a black run paper solely for black people. “Focal Point is the only black operated newspaper on campus. That in itself is a threat. The power structure is afraid of what they can’t control,” Shorters said. Shorters said the paper picks its topics based on the most important issues pertain­ ing to students. One topic he has strong opinions on is the African-American's role in the Persian Gulf. “We don’t belong there,” he said. “Former slaves are fighting in behalf of slavery. We’re pawns in a war for the rich.” The future of the paper is summed up by Shorters, “I would like to see us become a black paper. Right now we’re a black student paper. There are some problems blacks face that aren’t student-oriented. We have to see what we need, then provide it. Feed your own people.” RADIO _______with an_______ IMPACT by Dirk Machemer Tired of hearing the same Top-40 song every hour. Looking for an alternative radio station? Look no further. Tune your dial to 89 FM and get ready for the IMPACT. Broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, MSU’s commer­ cial-free student radio station, WDBM “The Impact” has set the standard for student radio. Student Radio “We’re tops in the country as far as student radio is concerned,” said Matt Feiler, host of Reggae Sun Splash. “You could say we are in a league by ourselves.” WDBM began broadcasting in February 1989. Since its birth, the impact has offered its listeners a variety of musical programs along with news and sports coverage. Feiler, who has been with the station since its infancy, said the music is the main attraction of student radio. However, he suggests the con­ stant changes in programing and new on-air personalities keeps the station fresh and the listeners interested. “Student radio is more in touch with its listeners than other stations,” Feiler said. “Be­ cause our audience is more specific, we can respond to them better.” WDBM andits sister station cable FM ,WLFT “The Almighty Left” both broadcast from the Auditorium on campus. Station Manager for WLFT, Rebecca Pol­ ing, said WDBM is the more popular of the two stations because many students do not have their stereos hooked up to cable TV, which is needed to hear WLFT’s broadcast. Poling said, in a State News interview, she plans to implement some ideas to make WLFT more recognizable to student listeners. Her ideas include experimental radio dramas, cov­ ering residence hall floor competition to be­ come more campus-oriented, and playing an “unstructured” mix of alternative music. Because student radio does not have to rely on ratings or please advertisers, it is able to be more broad based in its programing which Feiler says is the best part of student radio. “We have a lot more latitude in student radio,” Feiler said. “Where else could you have a speed metal, reggae, and country program all on one station.” Above and Opposite: WDBM Training Director Jenny Silverstein sorts through albums and selects songs for air play.

Top: WDBM DJ Matt Feiler during the' 'Breakfast Buffet'' photos by Christina Schuck KEEPING _________the_________ FAITH River when Israel was bombed during the Gulf War. Also, political speakers are sponsored by the group on a regular basis. Besides social activities and trips, religious groups often offer a home-away-from-home atmosphere for participants. One example, The People’s Church Student Organization, recently converted part of its church into a student center. “We aren’t evangelical,” Laurence Key, an officer in the campus ministry, said. “The stu­ dents concerned with the church are involved with it as a student organization.” The church also provides Bible studies for students who do not attend church and offers free meals on Sunday for students who live in the residence halls. Another religious group which provides help to students is the Moslem Student Association. The group mainly aids foreign students arriving at MSU. After mounting signs in the Capital Airport telling arriving foreign students where to call for help, the members find each student a temporary place to stay. Usually the student is placed with someone of the same nationality. Members also help foreign students with setting up bank accounts, getting through registration, and finding permanent housing. Fiezal Kamaruden, a food systems manage­ ment major, said the group made his transition from Malaysia much easier. “I probably would have had to stay in a hote l until I found an apartment,” Kamaruden said. “It is so difficult because you don’t know any­ one, but they found me a place to stay wit i another Malaysian family.” Hillel also helps students find housing in th; form of student co-op located on the second floor of the the center. Jessica Shapiro, an MSU student who has lived at the co-op since 1989, said the co-op provides a family atmosphere. “We are able to communicate with each other,” Shapiro said. “People care, they are glad to help you out or do you a favor.” Community service is another big aspect of the religious groups. The volunteers from these groups help everyone from needy students to people in East Lansing and Lansing. The Just for Christ Campus Ministry pro­ vides interest-free loans to MSU students in need of money for books and supplies. They also sponsor a buddy system for freshmen at registration. Kim Garnett, the president of Just for Christ Campus Ministry, said the organization is not religious based, rather it is geared to helping fulfill general needs of students. “We try to fellowship with other groups on campus and help with campus activities,” Garnett said. Other examples of community service projects include a food cupboard sponsored by the Saint John’s Student Parish and a spring term fund drive by The Latter Day Saints Stu­ dent Association in order to help bail out the financially failing Lansing food bank. One thing stands clear of all these student run religious groups - they do more than preach. They provide a sense of security and participa­ tion by combining spirituality, community ser­ vice, and student activities. All of this is done in a homey, personalized atmosphere that pro­ vides a reasonable alternative or complement to the traditional university activities.

Ironically, for being so numerous, religious groups are under em- ....................., . .... ......... Religious Groups more traditional student activities. This is largely because of student misconceptions about religious group functions on campus. However, these groups are much more than religion per se; they offer a personalized support system along with social activities and a home- away-from-home environment. Most of the religious groups are also heavily involved with community service. The groups are as diverse in nature as the students who arrive at Michigan State, but most of them have two things in common: they welcome students from any faith and are eager for more students to participate. Social activities are a large function for the majority of the groups. Father Mark Inglot said the largest attraction at the St. John Catholic Student Parish are the bi-term weekend retreats. Each term, for a price of $40, students go to Battle Creekfor three days of fellowship, games, and religious discussions. “It’s unique, in that it’s for students by stu­ dents,’- Inglot said. “All denominations are welcome." The group also sponsored teach-ins during the Gulf War and has had members lecture on economics and social policies. Similarly, the Hillel Jewish Student Organi­ zation on campus combines religion with activi­ ties to try and form a link with Jewish students on campus. The organization fights antlf semitism on campus and holds Israeli culture night complete with Israeli dancing and food. According to Larry Seegull, chairman of the religious committee at Hillel, the religious as­ pect is important but not exclusive. “We are the umbrella for all Jewish life on campus,” Seegull said. “We would love for all denominations to attend our activities and try to learn about Jewish life.” Hillel members also staged aprotest on Grand ieligious Groups / Women of Colors A CELEBRATION by Ruqaiyah Rogers In the search for self-identity and self­ elevation the group, Womyn of Colors has created a cross cultural alliance. Womyn of Colors was founded fall term 1990, by Lisa Garcia, Jennipher Rutledge Martinez, Kandee Newell, Maria Valayil, Joelee Webb and Tanya Williamson (inset). They created the group for two reasons. First, a previous group they had belonged to lacked knowledge about people of color. Second, they realized they all shared a femi­ nist perspective which was not appreciated by the women’s community and others who were not receptive about their ethnic identity. “We started out just wanting to get to­ gether and talk. The purpose was just to take time out for ourselves. We felt empowered by what we were doing and I wanted to share this with other women of color,” Valayil said. In thinking of a name for the group, the founding mothers decided they wanted to DIVERSITY stress their self-identity. “The word women is spelled womyn because it is radical. It shows that we don’t want to be labeled by men,” Valayil said. In addressing issues, Valayil said it is important to listen and set aside needed time and space. She said they are learning from each other. Women of Colors The groups ultimate goal is to educate and encourage people to learn and appreci­ ate their ethnic differ- _______________ ences. “We want to educate the campus. We know ■that as women of color we are the majority. If all women of color would pool their resources we would be a powerful force to reckon with. In order to accomplish these goals we have to speak out against all forms of dis-l crimination”, Valayil said. In using the word “colors”, they wanted to stress the diversity among themselves. “We are very strong feminists as women of colors,” she said. “We are not in the mainstream perspective. We use colors to emphasize that we all can’t be lumped into one category. We are all different.” The group sponsored an African Ameri­ can Read-In in conjunction with black his­ tory month, where they read works written by African American men and women. They also worked with the Minority Women’s Association for Women’s History Month. GAINING the COMPETATIVE EDGE by Rebecca Kochan The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is working hard to give Michigan State students an edge over the competition in the job market.

Gold said the organization goes beyond hav­ ing guest speakers at the weekly meetings, it also provides members with several opportu­ nities for practical experience. r really encounter often in public relations,” said Michelle Gray, a member of the Bateman team. Another national competition held each year is the campaign for Burson-Marsteller, a public relations firm in Chicago. This year, the product being promoted is the new Schick Tracer razor. In November 1990, PRSSA chapters across the | country to Burson-Marsteller outlining ways in which public awareness of the razor would be created established. and Burson-Marsteller accepted MSU’s proposal and provided them them with a budget to imple­ ment the ideas. their proposals customer loyalty sent One of the projects participated in by a group of PRSSA members was the Bateman Case Study. Bateman is a national competi­ tion requiring a focus group to analyze, re­ search and present a solution to a public relations problem. The national PRSSA board distributes the study to school chapters and each year the crisis is different. This year a terrorist situation is being used, which is proving to be quite a challenge to the Bateman team members. The group uses various resources such as the F.B.I. and pro­ fessional public relations practitioners and terrorist experts to advise them in resolving the case. The winning group receives a cash prize for their chapter. “I learned a lot about crisis management and terrorism which is a subject you don’t “I knew we had an excellent chance of win­ ning ,” said Kris Lord, advertising director for the project. l‘I an also confident that our events will be successful.” One event which generated publicity for the razor was a shave-off at the USA Cafe where Deb Hart of Q106 radio shaved the faces of five panelists. All donations went to a division of the American Red Cross that helps support the families who have loved ones in the Persian Gulf. The annual Burson-Marsteller campaign is a great way to gain hands-on experience in deal­ ing with the media, writing proposals, planning special events and working on a professional public relations program. In May» 991 , the Schick Tracer campaigns will be judged and eight chapters will be awarded a prize of $6,250. This year PRSSA also formed MSU’s first student-run public relations firm, access Pub­ lic Relations. The firm is designed to get the students into a professional public relations environment and let them work for clients. Access Public Relations designs fliers, writes and designs newsletters, designs post­ ers, and plans special events. Since Access is new, the focus is on campus organizations and clubs for clients. Access members plan to expand to include off-campus establishment. Currently, access provides its service free of charge but Becky Kavanagh, the 1991-92 president of access, said she would like to see the firm get to the point where the clients can be charged as other school firms do. Employers often look for people who have work published. The members of PRSSA have many outlets available to them. The Chapter newsletter, The P.R. Advisor, is written, edited and designed by PRSSA members once a term. Stories can also be submitted to the district and national news­ letter. This may be just the thing to land you that internship of job. Workshops are also planned, covering topics such as how to prepare a resume, how to arrange a portfolio, how to prepare for an interview, and how to use desktop publishing. PRSSA is open to all majors and all class Involvement in PRSSA can help levels. prepare its members for life after college. w lW PRSSA, AIESEC, SCC Outstanding Seniors: Guiditta Angelini Lynn Bechtel Jory Burroughs Cecilia Cabello Michael Christiansen Christina Ciavola Richard Cohn Melanie Dozier Michelle Fox Michelle Getman James Gilbert Tim Griffith Gavin Henning Kris Lahm Joanna Lerch Susan Lufkin Michelle Mankvitz Leann Maynard Christine McKibbin Donna Redd DanRoseDi Richard Rykhus Kelli Saam Karen Sendelbach Larry Willis Outstanding Faculty: David Ralph Curtis Stokes Chuck Kaplan Spirit Award: Andrew Gutman Laurie Silverman The Senior Class Council and Red Cedar Log would like to congratulate the above award winners.

Or, organized a conference on the Third World Debt crisis? Or, partied with people from over 67 countries? Members of MSU’s International Associa­ tion of Students in Economics and Business Management (AIESEC) have done all of the above and more. In a world where international business is increasing, more and more, students are looking for a global education. AIESEC is an organi­ zation providing students with global leadership experience which will give students an edge in a competitive job market. AIESEC (a French Acronym) was started in Europe and has chapters at Universities around the world. Margaret Hand, president of MSU's chapter of AIESEC, said the main goal of the organi­ zation is to increase global understanding and cultural awareness through the exchange of students in a business environment. “One thing that draws students (to AIESEC) is the internships, where you get to work with businesses around the world,” said promotions officer, DE Anna Glynn. “It’s the best way to get international business experience.” Members of MSU’s chapter of AIESEC lobby major corporations in the area to take interns from foreign countries. In exchange foreign members of AIESEC get AIESEC members from Lansing internships in their homelands. Corporations such as General Motors and IBM participate in the internship program. But before a member is offered an internship they must go before a viewing board from their chapter. There, candidates are ranked on how hard they work, the positions they held in the organization, and where they want to go for their internship. Glynn said another big attraction AIESEC offers its members is the opportunity to meet people from different countries. K‘It’s great. I’ve met people from Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Zimbabwe — from all over,” Glynn said. Through AIESEC _________, AIESEC Glynn said she was able to make contacts in area businesses and busi­ nesses abroad. Glynn hopes her contacts will help her find a job when she graduates. “If you want to find a job this is the way to do it because you meet the top people in many different businesses from all over the world,” Glynn said.

Melasi The gray, rainy dawn seemed twelve hours too soon as I struggled to class that morning. Everything was solemn, dead. Not even the birds made a sound. I felt nothing except the never ending void which consumed my every cell. Zombie-like and inhuman, the only thing containing my sanity was the steady beat of fifty-nine jingling cents in my left coat pocket. With every step. Like a heartbeat. The events of the past forty-eight hours have long since blurred together and become a dream­ like memory. Like a movie viewed long ago and half forgotten. I only wish it were all a dream—all pretend. I guess in time I may understand what happened and why. In time when the anger"" and hurt go away. As I walk, I realize how quickly time passes. It is March now, a drizzling gray March morning. A year ago at this time everyone was preparing for graduation, one step closer to the real world; real experiences. Who would have thought? “You are a child of the universe just like the stars and the trees, you have a right to be here.” excitement September brought finally died down. Even after those three short weeks, people were making friends Looking back, September now seems a lifetime ago, and October equally as distant. Where did our time go? It amazes me that six months is so easily spent. Our friendship didn't really start until October when the initial and getting to know each other. Everyone except her. Everyone except Bethany. Beth. I called her Beth, even though she hated it, she let me do it. I was the only one who called her anything. My thoughts scatter and knock around my skull as I walk. I take the usual route to class. A mistake, today it is not a wise choice. This route takes me by the small patch of trees by the river; the triangular trio, one adorned by a fading peace sign sprayed on the aging bark with white paint. I'm hurled into memory; I decide to skip class. Standing at the peace tree is painful now and it hurts me to think of the joy once found in this spot. The memory itself, however, brings a smile. It was during one of our many walks through campus, this particular instance at the fall of dusk. The setting sun cast beautiful lavender and peach hues across the sky out of which a few evening stars dimly sparkled. Beauty and tranquility engulfed us as we walked in silence. Suddenly, Beth stopped and smiled. She said nothing, did nothing, except gaze upon the tree before her. Becom­ ing accustomed to Beth's spontaneous "meditations" I kept quiet and unquestioningly waited. "Peace," she said, and after a few moments, "you are a child of the universe just like the stars and the trees, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. Keep peace with your soul. Strive to be happy."* Again she silenced, but only with her mouth because her eyes shone with love and the contentment of a pleasant memory.

It's part of a wonderful old poem which sort of gives advice on how to deal with the complications of life. It's the most beautiful poem I've read. Author unknown." She went on to explain that her grandfather happened upon the saying in a used bookstore and gave her a copy before he died. I attributed her warm, flowing eyes to the memory of her grandfather. The peace tree memory shatters with the hustle of passing students. As they pass, I wonder if they've ever felt how I feel; if they ever knew anyone like Beth. If they ever noticed the peace tree. This last thought pleases me because it's something Beth would have thought. The fading peace symbol is not easily visible and therefore gets easily overlooked. It is a "little thing" as Beth would say. She lived by the little things. Life is made of little things— little things are life," she'd say. I stand at the tree a while longer and try to remember what sparked our friendship. No sparks, I decide. With Beth it was a gradual process. In the beginning she was so unapproachable; it was rare enough to see her frail person at all let alone approach her. She always looked so distant— pale and expressionless. I used to wonder why she befriended me, why she made an effort when she hardly , “I call them the dancing figures. I be­ lieve they celebrate freedom, celebrate the wondrous beauty of the little.” spoke to anyone else. I also remember finding the courage to ask her why. She answered me with a story about her grandfa­ ther and through this I learned that I reminded her of him. I am getting ahead of myself, though. I stop thinking now because the memories are not pleasant yet. They sear through me like a train separates fog. Cutting the fog; a racing, roaring steel knife. Locomo­ tive cutlery. I walk on. Although I am trying not to think, I think anyway. I think that walking relaxes me. I'm fooling myself. I'm lying. Walking reminds me of Beth. I feel incomplete without her here. She showed me sp-much and helped me appreciate the details. I realize now how truly amazing our walks were. I feel so unbalanced; I concentrate on moving for­ ward. One foot, the other. Heel, toe, heel toe. My concentration directs my feet toward yet another memory— the dancing figures. Another campus stroll introduced me to this little thing. A walk that took us by the back steps of the college's art building on which were painted a series of stick figures, knees and arms bent, near the last few steps on the landing. We reached the concrete steps and she pointed at the figures. "Did you notice them?" she asked. Unfortunately I had not. I say unfortunately because she was so eager to have me notice a "little thing" without her having to point it out. My face must have given me away because before I had the chance to answer she said "Well, anyway, I call them the dancing figures. I believe they celebrate freedom, celebrate the wondrous beauty of the little." She found such joy in these figures. I think they came to life for her; music, joyous laughter, carefree movements. I also believe she named each figure, but she never shared this with me if she did. Beth was very private; very personal and yet she let herself be known in her own way. In the distance I hear a train. I'm reminded of fog and metal. The train's roaring progress sounds out of place in the misty morning. It is a disturbance; a threat. Trains fascinated Beth, though not the train itself, of course, because that was too apparent and shallow. It was the emotion of the train she loved. Her word, emotion was her word. The emotion of the tracks bowing under the immense steel power, the surging onward, and at the end the retreating caboose. It surprised me that Beth found enjoyment in something so overbearing until I learned that her grandfather was a retired conductor. "We used to go to the station just to watch trains come and go— steady and move on," she told me once. Her fascination didn't shock me so much, then. Beth and her grandfather were very close. I learned a lot about her and her grandfather. I learned a lot about her through her grandfather All the stories Beth told of her grandfather reflected herself in them and I don't know whether she intended to subtly expose herself in this manner, but she did, Intuition, I guess. She said that's how I reminded her of her grandfa­ ther—¡¡always seemed to know what she was talking about in not so many of her words. Always, she said. No Beth, not always. Always except once. (concluded on page 278) I'm remembering, again, the story of her grandfather. I don't want to remember yet, but I can not stop. I guess it wasn't so much a story about her grandfather as it was a story her grandfather would tell. The story of the bird. I find a bench near the river, I don't care that it's wet from the rain, and tell myself the story of the bird. Celtic bards told of a bird who sings only once. When that time comes, he seeks out a thorn and impales himself upon it's longest, sharpest spine. Dying, he rises above his agony to out-carol the lark and the nightingale. One supreme song, life its price... but the world stills to listen and God in His heaven smiles. Beth told me this story only one time, and when she told me, the strangest look took her face. Her eyes hollowed of any expression and she averted her gaze to some very distant object. I'd never seen Beth like this. I never wanted to again. My thoughts carry me to two days ago. I've not let myself think of this yet, I wasn't ready. I'm not ready now but the memory roars in anyway. Two days ago. Just two days. I remember coming home from classes. It had been an average day in all respects except for the foggy, dismal weather. It was strange, the fog. It hadn't rolled In until noon and was thickly consuming the air at six o'clock in the evening. I hadn't seen Beth all day— now a rarity for me. As I opened my door, an envelope caught my eye. Strange. Beth's writing. Beth doesn't write notes, I thought. I threw my bag on the bed and picked up the envelope. Slowly. I slowly picked up the envelope; I knew something wasn't right. I opened it as one who is expect­ ing news and doesn't know whether it is good or bad. Like a college acceptance letter. The letter stopped here with no signature and it took me a moment to realize what was happening— what Beth was trying to say. I knew, though, deep down I knew. I dashed down the hall and pounded on her door. No answer, no one home. Could she be there? I closed the thought and stood still for a moment to try and clear my head. "I must move on... steady and move on...'' Beth's voice rang in my ears. "No, Beth," I muttered. "NO!" I understood. I run from the bench now, just as I ran down the hall and across the empty field two days ago. The memory has become too real, but I don't try to stop it. I remember the fog, running through the fog and finally coming to the train tracks. The cold, unyielding tracks. The trains come every hour or so— she wouldn't have had to wait long. I knew what she did, yet I was grasping for anything that would prove me wrong. I grasped nothing. I walked along the tracks as I do now. My heart raced and by now my body had completely numbed. I pretended not to expect anything. Anything bad. At any moment Beth would join me and everything would be normal. I knew better. One hundred yards or so from where I had come to the tracks I found Beth. Beth. Expressionless face and frail body twisted and bleeding from the mouth. Her eyes were closed, though, she was expecting the blow. The train would not have seen her In this fog. She planned well. "Beth, Beth, Beth," I cried through racking sobs. "You “I spoke quietly to the air hoping somehow that she’d hear me. I wish I could tell her.” My heart pounded in my chest and my legs went numb. As I opened the envelope, I noticed the precision didn't have to do It, I understood! Oh dear God Beth I understood." “I remember the fog, running through the fog and finally coming to the train tracks. The cold, unyielding tracks.” with which the letter had been written, the crisp maniia paper that felt like an aged legal document. My hands shook and I began to read. All this time with you and I never explained my grandfather's death. I assume you believed he simply died of old age. Very perceptive Beth, I thought. I could hear her speaking these words— a story line. She was making me angry. I continue reading. He did not. He believes that after a time, one must move on. After a time when one has taught another the simple beauties that make life; the simple little things. My grandfather took his own life, although we don't like to think of it in these terms. To my grandfather and I, he simply moved on. It's sort of a contradiction, I understand, but it must be done. Must be done to emphasize the importance, to make the student truly understand the importance of the little things. I believe as he believes. After all, he taught me, and I taught you. Now, I must move on. The realness of the memory had brought me to the exact spot of discovery two days past. I was angry and confused and ironically felt as though she had lost confidence In me. Ironically because that was not her Intent. I wondered if she expected me to do the same. "I understand the little things, Beth, you didn't have to die." I spoke quietly to the air hoping somehow that she'd hear me. I wish I could tell her. I wish I could bring her back. The wet grass has soaked through my pants to my knees and my nose is running. I reach in my left coat pocket for a tissue and notice that during my frantic run I've lost my fifty-nine jingling cents. I cringe at the loss. No more jingle, I think. No more beat. "Bethany" is a ficticious story written by Cherri Giroux. Any simialrities between this story and real-life occurances are purely coincidental.

Although the Spartans were plagued by injuries and inexperience, first-year coach Kathie Klages said the team overcame the obstacles. “The year started out under a lot of gloom,” Klages said. “But the season turned out fabulous. The girls sur­ prised me meet after meet.” Performance by underclassmen was essential to the squad. “In gymnastics, freshman are usu­ ally the most talented, have stronger tricks andthefreshesttraining,” Klages said. ¿‘They have stronger types of skills but just don’t have the experi­ ence.” The team finished 13-8 overall but fell to seventh place (186.10) at the Big Ten Championships when all six com­ petitors fell off the beam.

The Michigan State University men’s gymnastics team has been try­ ing to make a name for itself for at least 20 years. The Spartans may have finally suc­ ceeded with a fourth place finish at the Big Ten Championships, their best since 1970. “It was about time our team got some recognition,” sophomore Paul Dackermann said. “We knew how good we were, but no one else did. We made the other teams turn around and take a second look.” Breaking the MSU high-score gymnastics’ record witha279.25point victory over Michigan February 3, the Spartans consistently scored well enough to post a new season-high meet average of 270 points. “Going into the season, I knew we were going to have the potential to be in the top 15 in the country,” coach Rick Atkinson said of his team, which Top left: Freshman Jennifer Dube performs on the balance beam during the Hobie's Invitational.

Every score counted just as much as the next guy’s.” Constant improvement and a sense of friendship played a major role in the team’s consistent top performances, according to Atkinson. “When I started recruiting a couple of years ago, I told the guys they were the beginning of a MSU dynasty,” the second year coach said. “This year, theteamfinally saw the dynasty coming together with improvement and con­ sistency at every meet. “Because we don’t have anyone graduating, I truly believe we could go undefeated (nextyear),” Atkinson said. Gymnasti his freshman year, Dackermann broke his wrist just before NCAA’s and was unable to compete. Dackermann said the team’s support helped in his recov­ ery and comeback in 1991. “The camaraderie was always there to help deal with the pressure of com­ petition,” Dackermann said. “Ourteam was special because we were friends in and out of the gym.” finished 11th in the nation. “If we hadn’t had such high expectations, I don’t think we would have done as well.” Although Atkinson said the Spar­ tans hoped to make the NCAA championships as a team, they fin­ ished sixth at the regional meet with only Dackermann qualifying on vault and floor exercise and junior Nick Westermeyeronvaultandparallelbars. Ranked number one in the country Atkinson said he was disappointed more of the team did not compete at the championships. “We had so many guys who were so important,” Atkinson said. “No one person was any more important than by Chris McMahon photos by Larry Robins prove they are the ones to watch Junior Kai Chang and a Spartan teammate try to foil the attack of an Ohio State player while senior Brian Rice looks to help. An outstanding line­ up of experienced seniors and talented underclass­ men made the 1991 Michigan State Univer­ sity lacrosse team a team to watch. They will not soon be forgotten. The Spartans ended the regular season with 11 wins and four losses, their best since 1987. AbidtotheNCAA tournament promises post-season play for the team, whose last appear­ ance in the tournament was in 1987. A central element in the team’s success has been senior Wayne Sansiviero. As co-cap­ tain of team, Sansiviero has been an excellent leader. Coach Rich Kimball summed up his leadership qualities by saying, “Wayne leads by example both on and off the field.” the Sansiviero has been playing la­ crosse since he was in the eighth grade when his older brother goihim in­ volved. With so many years of play behind him, Sansiviero expects to continue playing after graduation whether on club leagues or in the Mai jor Indoor Lacrosse League. He is also considering playing or coaching in Australia where lacrosse is a big sport. Kimball and Sansiviero both stress the team is a very close one this year. “It’s tough to find 40 guys that love each other, but we’re really colse,” Sansiviero said. “Especially on the field, everyone puts things aside and pulls his weight. It’s definitely the best team I’ve played on in the last eight or nine years.’^ Although Sansiviero is one of the leading scorers for the team and is currently sixth all-time scorer for Michigan State, he is a team player at heart. “I don’t care where I make it on the roster,” Sansiviero said. “It’s not what’s important. As far as the team’s goals, the thing is to make it (to the NCAA tournament).” In the NCAA tournament, MSU was the 12th team of 12 and played against the number-five team, Syra­ cuse. According to Kimball, it will be a tough road ahead. “We’ll do whatrwe do well,” Kimball said. Sansiviero played for the Spartans in the 1989 tournament and Kimball said he scored some big goals. “Wayne’s been a real solid player all the way through^! As highly as coach Kimball speaks of Sansiviero, Sansiviero does the same of Kimball. “Coach is great is to everyone,” Sansiviero said. "He really cares about the team as a whole and each of us as individuals.” Sansiviero said players often go to Kimball for personal as well as problems on the field. Playing varsity athletics and being a student takes extra effort no matter what the sport, including the pressure involvedwithbeingarolemodel. “Any way you look at it you’re not an aver­ age student,” Sansiviero said, who will graduate in the fall of 1991 with a degree in communications. He said studying is difficult, especially before a game, so other sacrifices have to be made. “You just have to give up some­ thing else to do your studying,” Sansiviero said. After four years of starting for the lacrosse team, Sansiviero looks forward to fall term when he finally be an ‘average’ stu­ dent.

The squad finished an impressive 18-8 on the sea­ son (7-6 in Big Ten play) and their work finally paid off as they claimed 6th at the Big Ten Championships, a vast im­ provement from 1990’s 10th place fin­ ish. Sixth-year head coach Heather Mactaggart said it was a season with, “no low points and a lot of high points. We had a stronger team and more depth. We beat some teams that had beaten us before and won the close matches we were losing before.” Seniors Alex Hilbert and Michele Hurrelbrink rounded out their Spartan careers on high points. Hilbert, who struggled against very tough competi­ tion at first singles, won her first Big Ten match of the season at the Big Ten’s and Hurrelbrink finished 16-12 with impres­ sive play at third singles. “My last year was very important to me. It seemed everythinglj’d work for came down to the last match£” Hurrelbrink said. Hilbert added more experience, depth and the team getting along so well were keys to the year. Important to the depth was the addi­ tion of sophomore Alicia Leone and freshman Kelly McDonough. Leone capped a remarkable 27-1 season with 19 consecutive victories (mostly at fifth singles) while McDonough stepped in solidly at second singles. Another bright spot was junior Molly Poffenberger at fourth singles (17-12). “We came together as a team and had a blast,” Poffenberger said. The doubles teams of Poffenberger and McDonough (first flight) and Hilbert and Leone (13-1 at third) posted winning records as well. The team is optimistic for the future as it loses just two seniors and has im­ proved their lineup from top to bottom. Look for more good play from the 1992 Spartans. The MSU’s men’s tennis team found 1991 to be a tough season. They finished the season at 12-14 overall and 1-10 in the Big Ten with a 9th place showing at the Big Ten Championships. The Spartans started out with nine straight non-conference victories but then struggled through a tough schedule and grueling Big Ten competition. Second-year head coach Jim Frederick said his team played very well and lost a lot of close matches, many of them three set matches. He said they won the early matches they should have and played competitively against five teams ranked in the top 25 nationally. A big loss to the team was an injury to their lone senior Damon Valentino. He struggled to get back on track and finished at 1 -8, but ended his career with a win against Illinois. ... “It was exciting to represent MSU as an athlete,” Valentino said. “There were tough times this year with the injury, but I was proud to be a part of the team.” Junior Grant Asher posted a 18-11 record at first singles. He said everyone was playing well at the end of the year and hopes it will carry over. Junior Brad Rosenbaum was 15- 8 (mostly at second singles) and soph - more Brad Dancer finished 14-23 but had impressive performances in two majortoumaments. He reached the th; d round at the Spartan Invitational (un* - ficially the Big Ten singles champk - ships) and went undefeated at the Big Ten’s. He also was named to the Big Ten All-Academic team. Frederick said the top newcomer w as freshman Kevin Seckel. He had a i > markable 24 victories in his first year and won the consolation round at the Spartan Invitational. Another bright spot was sophomoreChristianTmmball, who made the team as a walk-on and went at third doubles (with Dancer) at the Big Ten tourney. Transfer Jim Westfall from UtahState also chipped in with an 11-11 record at sixth singles. The doubles teams of Asher and Rosenbaum (first flight) and Dancer and Westfall (18-14 at second doubles) achieved winning records. Despite the disappointing season, the team remains optimistic and confident. ‘Talent wise we have it,” Dancer said. Frederick said the team needs more depth and is looking forward to receiving two top recruits, one a Canadian and the other a transfer from Virginia. “Frederick has changed the program around,” Valentino said. “He wants us to be the hardest working team in the country. The team has a good nucleus. The program has nowhere to go but up.” The Michigan State University women’s golf team is too modest. Coach Mary Fossum said she was very happy with the Spartans fourth place finish at the Big Ten Championships because it was a big improvement from their eighth place finish in 1990. “Golfers are funny,” Fossum said. “I don’t believe they ever think they scored as well as they should have.” Senior Jenny Hecht was the team’s two-time captain, leading scorer and the first Spartan golfer to receive an All-Big Ten award in two years. After a slow start in the fall, Fossum said Hecht led the team to a successful finish. “Last fall we finished 17th at one of our tournaments and it left the team pretty demoralized,” Fossum said of the Ohio State Invitational last October. “But with Jenny’s leadership and some tough winter conditioning, we came back.” Fossum saidtheSpartans were able to recoverenough to beat more teams. “When the team can end on a good note after a tough fall, it’s exciting,” Fossum said. Because Hecht was the only graduating senior, Fossum said she is looking forward to next year and expects a lot of help from junior Jennifer Mieras. “It is very hard to letter in golf,” Fossum said. “Only five or six girls do each year, so those that do should be very proud.” The Michigan State men’ s golf team, coached by Ken Horvath, finished their season a disappointing eighth at the Big Ten Championships. Senior Kevin Collier led the Spartans with a 74.75 average including a round of 69 at the Wofford Invitational. Michigan State was also led by freshman Heath Fell, senior Mike Anderson and sophomore Mike Spencer.

Ninth-year head coach Karen Den­ nis said considering injuries and loss of key performers, she was satisfied with the result. B‘We never had a full complement for the entire year,” Dennis said. “I was encouraged that even with ob­ stacles, we still performed well.” From 0990’s nin|l|place, MSU improved with stellar performances by the sprinters, the help of key fresh­ men, added team depth and points in other events. Dennis admitted the sprinters car­ ried the team through, leading the group second at the Big Ten’s in the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.02 and added to a third place finish in the 100 meter dash (11.84). Shirley Evans sets high goals for herself and the team, and was not yet satisfied. “The team did well, but I think I can do better,” Evans said. Freshman newcomer Susan Francis became the second Spartan in three years to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. She admitted she was a little overwhelmed to walk in and have such an immediate impact. Francis placed third in the 200- meter dash with a time of 24.26 and notched third in the 400-meter dash at 54.74. She also anchored MSU’s 4X400 meter relay team to second (3:42.65) and the 4X100 team to a third place finish (46.38). The quartet alsobrokeaschoolrecordinthe4X400. Joining Evans and Francis on the relay team were juniors Diana Murphy and Christine Duverge. Murphy added a seventh in the 400-meter dash while Duverge surprised many by placing third in the 800-meter ran (2:09.89). But the sprinters were not the only bright spots on this track team. There were many other notable performers. Excelling in the field events was junior Chanda Williams. Her leap of 18’6" in the long jump was good for ninth place and she added a fifth place inthetriplejump(38’ll"). Williams also set a school record (39’4") in the triple jump earlier in the year. ■I figured ¡¡would eventually get it (the record),|| Williams said. “I was improving each week.” Jumior Pauline Lieber also chipped in, finishing eighth in the discus. She earlier shattered a ttN»' ¡Ü ll / Hr ten-year school record with a throw of 141’. There was also improved depth in the distance events. Sophomore Misty Allison placed sixth and eighth in the H0,000- and 5,000-meter runs, re­ spectively, and freshman Mary Latinga chipped in with a sixth in the 3,000-meter run. “Mary is an up-and- coming distace runner,” Dennis said. Dennis and her runners are brim­ ming with optimism for the future. Sophomore high jumper Tracy Ames will be returning from injuries and sprinter Tyra Carson is also expecting to rejoin the team. And only senior Robin Aldrich will be missing. “We should have more of an all- around program next year,” Dennis said. “We’11 add Michelle Brown and two new long distance runners. And we have so many seniors. We hope to finish their careers with a Big Ten Championship.” Her runners were a little more cautious. “If everything goes well, a top three finish is realistic,” Williams said. While the ninth place finish of MSU’s 1991 outdoor team was a dis­ appointment, there were many bright spots and promises for the future. Sixteenth-year head coach Jim Bibbs said there were highlights to the year, but the team was plagued by nagging injuries, ineligibilitie and lacking senior leadership.

Coach Bibbs had nothing but praise or his senior standout. “Anthony is }ne of the finest young men I’ve ever some in contact with,” Bibbs said. “If we had a team award, he would be the VIVP.” Hamm reflected on his rewarding career. “I am definitely going to miss it,” Hamm said. “I’ll have these memories and friends for the rest of my life.” Hamm is looking forward to the nationals. “I want to go out on a positive note,” Hamm said. l‘The ultimate would be a top five or six finish and to be an All-American again.” Bibbs added Hamm could become “a very fine professional runner.” While Hamm’s talent will be sorely missed, the loss of senior sprinter Corey Pryor to academics for the outdoor season was a big blow. And junior Tico Duckett’s obligations to the foot­ ball team kept him from reaching his full potential. But junior Fred Kyles stepped in and placed fifth in the 100-meter dash (10.85) and fourth in the 200-meter dash (21.42). Bibbs said he thinks Kyles is one of the better sprinters in the Big Ten and Kyles feels he is capable of winning the Big Ten if everything falls into place. There were numerous other run­ ners to place at the Big Ten's. Junior Chris Brown placed third with a time of 46.79. “He’s usually a half-miler and we converted him,” Bibbs said. “The emergence of Chris Brown was a highlight.” Junior Rich Gledhill also placed third in the 800-meter run (1:51.44). Depth was the key in the distance events. Sophomore Dave Smith notched fifth in the 1500-meter run. Junior Chad Finley and sophomore David Couch placed sixth and seventh in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Junior Ian Smith began to come into his own. Despite Hamm getting most of the recognition, he finished fourth in the 10,000-meter run and sixth in the 5,000. Junior Ken Wolters was the third Spartan to place in the 10,000, notching sixth. In the field events, sophomore Chauncey Williams took home fifth in the triple jump and junior Marcel Richardson placed eighth in the long jump. The Spartans are optimistic toward next year. “The good news is we lose just one runner,” Bibbs said of his Spartans, who also impressively placed sixth in the Central Collegiate Championships at Notre Dame. by Brian Fee photos by Mark Wolf has season of close games and frustrating losses Sophomore Julie Buda lets go with one of her pitches. The Michigan State softball team had a season filled with close games and frustrating losses. The Spartans ended the season with an overall record of 11-41 and posted a 2-22 record in the Big Ten. MSU’s finish landed them in seventh place out of seven teams in the Big Ten. The bright note to MSU's tough season — two Spartans were named to the second- team All-Big Ten Team, first baseman Denise Berrios and sec­ ond baseman Ann Castillo. “We improved as a team through­ out the year, next year we will win some close games,” junior pitcher Martha Wendt said. The Spartans lost over twenty games by only one mn with a youthful roster. One member of MSU’s softball team who was always up for games and excited to be playing was catcher Juile Hall. “Julie was up for every game, she was the team’s cheerleader,” Wendt said. MSU only loses two players due to graduation this season and they are hopeful the experience they gained this season will carry through to next year. “Next year we should do much better with the valuable experience we gained,” Wendt said. “Next year looks very positive.” The Spartans' luck is bound to change in the upcoming 1992 season with the return of 12 of the 14 players from this season and the arrival of a few new players explained Wendt. Freshman Jill Hartwig avoids the tag to score a run against Central Michigan.

The sea­ son went “SNAP!”, senior Rich Juday’s bat went “CRACKLE” and the dream of the Spartans’ coach Tom Smith of winning the Big Ten Conference went “POP!” The Spartans spent the entire season looking to piece together a winning streak long enough to place within the top four spots of the conference. A tough Florida trip gave Smith something to work with the young Spartans, which only sported two seniors on this spring’s squad, as they returned to the safe confines of Kobs Field. As Smith saw it, the season was one of ups and downs which also included the death of senior catcher Craig Hendricks in De­ cember from cancer. “Probably the biggest disap­ pointment, and the saddest thing to us was the death of Craig,” Smith said. “It was a season of joy and sorrow, hope and disap­ pointment, all of those things.” According to Smith, the Spartans showed him several different appearances. “It was basically a up and down year,” Smith said. “We went through stretches where we played pretty well and we went through stretches where we didn’t play well at all.” The Spartans finished the season at 28-25-1, including 12-16 in the Big Ten conference. Although the squad did not make the conference playoffs, Smith pointed out the Spartans were 8-8 against the top four teams: Ohio State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Indiana. The conference, according to Smith, was very competitive this sea­ son. The Spartans were led during the spring campaign by senior co-captains, pitcher/first baseman/designated hit­ ter Larry Wendtandoutfielder/infielder Rich Juday. Juday became the Spartans all-time leader in hits with 227, surpassing Kevin Dalson while leaving his mark in several other Spartan offensive cat­ egories: second in RBI’s (136); tied for third in triples (11); fourth in runs scored (130) and doubles (31); tiedfor sixth in home runs (22) and seventh in batting average (.363). Wendt had a good year on the mound for the Spartans, according to Smith. MSU’s mentor pointed out the hurler from Romeo assumed a leader­ ship role this spring after several dif­ ficult past seasons. Michigan State returned seven solid players this spring which included Wendt andJuday,juniorinfielder Alex Gagin, junior catcher Craig Mayes and sophomore infielder Bob Juday, which provided “a lot of mileage” to the Spartans effort this season, Smith said. Gagin led the Spartans with seven home runs while Rich Juday had 40 runs batted in for MSU. Bob Juday had 65 hits to lead the squad while his brother Rich batted .362. MSU was led in the pitching department by sophomore Stuart Hirschman, who had Above: Senior Rich Juday stands in at the plate, where he had great success in 1991.

Opposite Page Bottom: Freshman Jason Rambo throws to second base. seven wins and 43 strikeouts while junior Jeff Vogel earned six saves. Smith said the Spartans overcame several major disappointments which included players who did not join the team. At times, the Spartans played with six freshmen on the field for Smith, but these events did not stop his team. “We ought to have a good, experi­ enced team again,” Smith said as he looked toward next season. “We need to shore up a couple of areas, a couple extra infielders to get some competi­ tion. Our pitching ought to be solid and we’ll play defensively better than we did this year.” BASEBALL: Steve Hirschman, David Veres, Stuart Hirschman, Craig Mayes, Steve Johnson, Derek Darkowski, Coby Gamer, Todd Menard, Alex Gagin, Chris Galloway.

The 1991 Red Cedar Log Staff The 1991 Red Cedar Log marks my second and last year as the editor-in-chief of the MSU yearbook. With a staff of 14 people we set out to record history and leave a record of the times to the future. The war came as no surprise to anyone at the office. Still, none of us could believe it was hap­ pening. Suddenly, we found ourselves fitting our lives around TV and radio news coverage, debating the validity of the war, protest, women in combat and the draft. We, like the rest of campus, were being forced to make up our political minds. Our theme, "View Finders" (two words intentionally) came out of the conflict. The war had indeed made us find our views. Producing a yearbook is a challenge that requires experience to understand. While the deadlines are not always high-pressure, the work involved in meeting them never seems to be completely finished. Stories need revisions and updates, photos need to be reprinted or retaken and layouts need to be proofed and revised. At the same time, book sales, marketing, senior portraits and budget problems constantly require attention. Despite the worry of war and seemingly endless work, however, we did our best to create a quality yearbook. Drawing upon a variety of interests and tastes, we increased the books size, included twice as many color pages as the 1990 RCL and organized it differently than any previous edition of the RCL. We also broadened the scope of our coverage by introducing the "News" and "Features" sections. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire RCL staff directly. You became a part of a project I consider very important, taking pride in your involvement and your work. We all became friends, complete with stupid office humor and a few good nights out on the town. You stood behind me in the midst of controversy, and even when we were “under fire” you never let the heat make you flinch. I’ll miss working with all of you. You’re the best! I find it difficult to think about the Red Cedar Log no longer being a part of my life. For one, it is not! completely finished at this time. But more impor­ tantly, I realize that I can’t look at this book like every other senior who bought it. I will always take the friendships,lexperience and memories you have given with me into life, and every time I read the 1991 RCL I will remember all of you. The next time you take it down from your bookshelf, I hope you will do the same. -Best of Luck Always, Mike Above: Ronalee Peck and her yumilicious brownies. -Ronalee Peck (Design Editor): (RP) All I can say is, this office wift never be the same without my junk all over it and it will always have junk all over it if I'm not here to clean it up. It's been great. (MM) After a year proof reading books in the Binding Prep Dept, of the Library together, who would have thought we'd end up working with books 4 years later. I can hardly think of journalism classes without thinking of you (we were, after all, attached at the hips.) You made working on the MAC better than Saturday morning cartoons, and you’re a great friend. For that (and more) I can never repay you. (SL) Ronalee, that s Samoan for "Goddess of the MAC." I enjoyed your crazy, madcap office decorations and anecdotes. (DM) Ronalee, Now it's over I'm dead and haven't done anything I want. Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do. Definitely words to ponder. I'll never forget the "They Might be Giants" marathons. Good luck in everything. (SH) Ronalee, the computer desk will never be the same without your Pee-Wee Herman decorations. Thanks for your expertise on layout in my section. -Mike Melasi (Editor-In-Chief): (SL) Listen you, I'm finally free!!! Free of doing menial secretarial tasks for you! You're going to have to learn to make your own coffee now, mister. Youhad better print this! P.S. I'll get you for calling me annoying! (DM) You know, as a GDI your not so bad yourself. This book looks great, but now you liave to find a real job. It's been great working with you, good luck and don’t forget the Class A "ANOVA.Mg (SH) Mike, you turned this book around from day 1 that you got here. This thing is looking like a mighty awesome book. Working with you was a great experience. Thanks for being a great boss and great friend. (RP) Hey Rude Mike! And I say that in the best way possible. And by that I mean I haven't ever known two people who could blow each other off so much and still be good friends. And it's a good thing — because we have both been pulling our hair out about so much for so long that it's good to have a friend who doesn't expect the world of you. Good Luck. -Amy Hanna (Business-Advertising Manager): (MM) The headlines read "Hanna Dead", but we figured it wasn't you. Who would have handled the misplaced orders, incoherent phone calls, ad designs, endless budgeting and data entry if it was? Who would have complained about math or ripped on Steve Pardo? It was an overwhelming job at times, I know, but you did it better than anyone I can think of. I couldn't have handled this without you. (DM) "Hey, my freelancers still need to be paid." Amy, you have a wonderful sense of humor. And let me give you a little piece of advice; don't take any more math classes. (RP) Aim, Aim, Aim. ALL I KNOW is Taco Bell — hands down, you're the best ever and don't EVER study for finals, go to a movie on Steve's ID instead. Will you be my maid of honor? (I won't make you wear a prom dress) -Christina Schuck (Photo Editor): (MM) I thought I was a liberal until I met you. I admire your dedication to your beliefs and your photographic talents. Good luck in Japan and wherever you end up after that. (DM) Japan? Do they have peace ralleys there? Good luck. -Kelly Boden (Copy Editor): (MM) Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly... I just thought I'd give Steve Hogan one last word. You did good work organizing the news section fall term and were great as a copy editor as well. Good Luck in the future and as entertainment coordinator next year. (SL) Thanks for being the RCL Counseling Centerthis year, ithelped. I'm glad we had those "General Foods International Coffee" moments. Hope the crystal has Bottom: The attack of the Dead Cedar Dogs. Above Left: Amy Hanna. Above: Mary Chuey. brought hope and prosperity to you. (DM) "Keeping on our toes, together." Was that supposed to motivate us? Anyways, I hope that you have much lucks in whatever it is that you does weather it be copy editig or whatever you chooses. I know, I'm annoying. (RP) What was that disposable razor doing in your desk all year? -Dirk Machemer (Organizations Section Editor): (MM) Man O-Man, you have completely disproved some of my theories about the Greek system. You're a great guy and I've really enjoyed working with you. I hope things go well for you in the future. By the way, we gave you all the really bad free-lancers on purpose! (SL) Hey Stud-Boy, where's my gum? I'll miss having you're crap all over my desk. Remember: Dirty deeds done Dirk cheap. (SH) Dirkman. Dirkaroni. Dirkmeister. You did a great job with a most impossible section. Even though you are a greek, you are probably one of the coolest ones I've met. Good luck in life. (DM) Well, It's over. Time to gather-up all the memories and move on. I've spent the best years of my life at MSU — mostly in the bars. But now its time to enter the real world and I look forward to saying, "would you like fries with that." Well, there's always grad school. Seriously, though, I've made a lot of good friends here, people on this staff, in my fraternity, in the dorms and in the classroom. I can definitely say I'm going to miss this place. Go Pikes! Bula, Bula. (RP) Whoa, Dirk! snore zzzzzz... O-MAN O-MAN Fall term was ours. Do you still live in the basement? -Mary Chuey (Campus Section Editor): (MM) I couldn't pick a better successor to this position. I wish you the best of luck and hope your book goes well. Remember, the gun and whip are in the top left drawer, right next to the magic brown button. Handle with care! (SL) Good luck as the big cheese next year! Don't let all the power go to your head (Ha, Ha). I enjoyed our cosmic crystal bonding. (DM) Are you sure you want to be Editor-in-Chief next year? Anyways, I wish you the best of luck next year. (SH) I know it will be great working with you on next year's staff. Just warn me the next time I date one of your roommates. -Steve Hogan (Sports Section Editor): (MM) Steveroo, Stevemyster, Steveman, Stevester... two years I've had to put up with you, Hoger. It wouldn't have been so bad if you weren't a walking Saturday Night Live rerun! (Ha, Ha) Seriously, though, I couldn't have asked for a better Sports Editor or friend. You've done far more than your fair share in completing the yearbooks, and have always been around to listen to me whine, complain and blow off steam. You can't imagine how much I appreciate that. Keen in touch! (SL) After reading your top 10 pet peeves list, I don't know what to say except that I prefer the "Star Trek" reruns to "Match Game" any day, and I don't like Charles Nelson Reilly. (DM) Steve, how am I supposed to get through the day without hearing "the Dirkster, Dirkarama, the Dirkmiester." It's been great working with you, good luck in everthing. (RP) May you, on your death bed, foresee your future Nirvana — life on latenight NBC. I can see you now, ecstacy on SNL and Late Night. I just hope I can't hear you saying "Ronalinski, Ronarola, Ronarockarola..." -Steve Pardo (Features Section Editor): (MM) To this day, thanks to you, I have an abstract image of a firm red dress stuck in my head. Someday I'm sure I’ll see one on the streets. Maybe I’ll call and tell you all about it! I really enjoyed working with you, despite our occassional differences!! Thanks for having the end-of-year party and helping to liven up this place (have a Martini and pat yourself on the back!) (SL) I have two things to say to you, Pardo; Relationships (gone bad) and Trivial Pursuit. Good luck with both, and try not to become bitter and withdrawn like me. (DM) The Stevester, Stevearama...Oops I’m sorry, I just got done writing Hogen’s. One day, Steve, I'm going to end up reading an article on how you invented an aphrodisiac that really works. When’s the RCL reunion party? (SH) 111 drive you to Margaritaville next week. Good luck in the advertising world. I know I’ll see you at a hair replacement center in the near future. (RP) Hey, Mister Random Hair I'll cure you of your disco-ness yet. And then I'll let Amy get her hands on you. And then you can marry me. Above: Steve Pardo and Stacy Lammers. Above: Dirk Machemer as "O-Man." -Stacy Lammers (News Editor): (MM) StacEy, I told you I'd print it, and I did. It's been "groovy" working with you, even though you were annoying (yeah, I know, you'll get me. I'm really scared.) For the record, your coffee tasted like something was missing. Could it have been water, caffeine, cream and sugar? (SL) I hope everyone remembers me as that cheesy chick on staff. I heartily enjoyed being a Log Head this year. I’d like to thank the Academy.... (DM) Don’t worry I’ll remember you as the cheesy chick on the staff. And you still owe me a pack of gum — I found the error. (SH) MCLammer. Please Lammer don't hurt them. I know you won't be a rap star but you will be a person who had to have her tea from Castellani's. -Larry Robins (Photographer): (MM) Good luck on the photo editor's throne, Larry. Remember, I'm always watching you, so don't ever make a darkroom mistake again! (Ha, Ha) Thanks for helping out with the senior names, especially since they weren’t in your job description. One more thing: Get your mind out of the gutter! (SH) It will be great going to games next year with you. Just cut any jokes around Jud. (RP) You are, by far, the most level-headed and organized person we have. Please, keep the faith — I lost it. And I’m not a man-killer -Monika Jones (photographer): (MM) After three photojournalism classes and the yearbook, I've had just about enough of you! I hope your luck with camera malfunctions improves before Canon goes broke. Good luck in the future! -Carolyn Fischer (Editorial Assistant): (MM) Well, Ms. 1992 Design Editor, I hope the layout stage of the 1991 RCL didn't scare you! You were a big help at the end of the year with the senior section. Thanks for doing that and for putting up with all of the dirty work I gave you all year. My wish for you: That you end up in charge of the University Archives (since you know more about MSU history now than anyone). (RP) New Design Editor, huh? hee hee hee hee hee Good T nek, you'll find out soon enough what that means. -Ruqaiyah Rogers (Editorial Assistant): (MM) Officially, you are the staff member with the most frequently misspelled name. GoodluckasNewsEditornextyear. Remember: MACisyourfriend. Treat it nicely and it will not eat your stories!!!!!
