Red Cedar Log Volume 100, 1987 Michigan State University CONTENTS 2 Introduction 8 Student Life It was a year of firsts. New fire safety rules plagued dorm dwellers and One-Union Square opened. 66 Academics The numbers were in favor of professor and movie writer Jim Cash as Top Gun became the biggest hit of 1986. 94 People MSU experienced an all-time record application pool and a 2.5% increase in enrollment. 152 Sports Icers wrapped up the CCHA crown with a 4-3 overtime win and Ron Mason celebrated 500 career wins. 208 Groups Gamma Phi Beta sorority broke ground on a two million dollar house on Delta Street. 238 Community Over 3000 events commemorated Michigan’s 150th Birthday including many involving MSU. 268 Closing Beaumont Tower, MSU’s foremost symbol of pride and tradition was in desperate need of repair. The 59-year-old landmark required an estimated $135,000 worth of cleaning and tuning. ASMSU urged the administration to make tower repairs a priority, but it would take an ef­ fort 100% Spartan in nature to get the job done. 1987 Red Cedar Log VOLUME 100 PRACTICING ON LANDON FIELD for her halftime performance at the University of Michigan football game, junior Kimberly Harris, performs to the beat of the band’s “Tequila Song”. Mary Platt Red Cedar Log VOLUME 100 Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824 1987 100% Prime Factors No matter how much the bad news outweighed the good - as often was the case - support for MSU never seemed to drop below 100 percent. Judging by the events which ushered in the new academic year, the forecast was anything but bright. In July, the brutal murder of engineering sophomore Sandra Clarke horrified the Uni­ versity and community. Two weeks later police arrested and charged natural science sopho­ more Darricell Henry, who had been Clarke’s tutor, with murder. Later, after undergoing extensive psychi­ atric examinations, Henry was found incompe­ tent to stand trial. After extensive debate MSU trustees vot­ ed unanimously to increase in-state undergrad­ uate tuition 4.3 percent. Tuition for out-of- state and graduate students was hiked by 6.8 percent. The higher price tag per credit hour did not deter the number of incoming students. En­ rollment jumped 2.1 percent - a total of 41,897 students were enrolled for fall term. After serving one year as president of MSU, John DiBiaggio was granted a $15,200 salary hike. The 13 percent increase, which met little opposition, boosted DiBiaggio’s salary to $115,000. 100% ENJOYING A halftime lead over Purdue, football players head for the lockers.

Janine Smith Prime Factors Homecoming proved to be a mixture of events - victory by day and revelry by night. During the afternoon of Oct. 25 Spartan foot­ ball fans celebrated a 37-3 victory over Purdue. Later that evening the celebration turned to chaos. Some 5,000 people gathered in the Cedar Village apartment complex for what was la­ beled “the worst Cedar Fest in MSU history.” When it was over, the bi-annual block party left 29 people injured, over $11,000 in property damage, 35 people were arrested and 200 cita­ tions issued. The day after students and East Lansing residents began picking up the debris and searching for a strategy to put an end to future Fests. Mayor John Czarnecki created a 26-mem- ber task force which included three student leaders. While Cedar Fest was out of control, DPS reported campus crimes had decreased by 3 percent overall. Still, this figure was overshad­ owed by an upswing in incidences of rape, arson and burglaries. But something positive resulted from the negatives. Student awareness was at its peak. More and more women enrolled in self-defense courses, friends made conscientious efforts to band together. Faith in the University was maintained. BIG TEN flag bearers pre­ pare to go on the field with the other members of the marching band.

AUTUMN AFTERNOONS provide practice time for marching band members. Horn section players rehearse formations and fight songs for the band’s performance in Ann Arbor. Mary Platt Prime Factors Students actively challenged University policies on issues such as divestment, pornogra­ phy and handicapper accessibility. Many times during the fall Sparty wore fluorescent orange anti-apartheid stickers. The Southern African Liberation Organization constructed a shanty, funded by ASMSU, in front of the Administration Building protesting the MSU Foundation’s investments in South Africa. First Amendment rights were also chal­ lenged when MSU attempted to prevent show­ ing of pornographic films on campus. The two- year legal battle cost the University $63,428. “It was a serious misuse of taxpayers’ money,” said Box Office Spectaculars adviser Lash Larrowe. “It was ridiculous for the Uni­ versity to take on a cause doomed to failure.” Students and campus governing groups rallied to force officials to take steps toward making MSU 100 percent handicapper acces­ sible. Director of handicapper programs Judy Gentile estimated over $1 million per year would have to be spent over a five to 10-year period to reach that goal. Although the figures were not always im­ pressive, the University population remained 100 percent committed to MSU. SIDELINED WITH injury, Lorenzo White and the en­ tire football team faced set­ backs and defeats.

Alan Kamuda Janine Smith LaVern Pennington Plus Signs “Student life at MSU? It’s great,” said food systems management junior Steve Camp­ bell. “On a scale of one to 100, I would have to give it a 100 plus.” Although students were faced with issues such as Cedar Fest, handicapper inaccessibility and an increase in sexual assaults, they tackled these problems and remained positive about their campus. The homecoming parade was one of the largest in history with over 600 students partic­ ipating. However, homecoming week ended on a less positive note with the most destructive Cedar Fest in history. Fast food debuted at MSU with the open­ ing of One Union Square, a fast-food mall lo­ cated in the Union. National hoopla surrounding the Ameri­ ca’s Cup boating race spawned local interest in East Lansing’s own America’s Cup nightspot. Rivalry between MSU and U-M contin­ ued to thrive. For three days prior to the annual football game students guarded Sparty on a 24- hour basis. Whether students were buried in books in the library, enjoying happy hour at one of East Lansing’s many hotspots or cheering on the Spartans at a sporting event, students enjoyed MSU 100 percent. Life DREARY DAYS greeted students fall term. Record rains and record floods marked MSU’s month of gray.

That famed June day when anyone who has had their nose-to-the- grindstone for the past eight months ran out of a classroom and headed for a sidewalk cafe on Grand River Avenue to celebrate. It was a joyous day for all. Almost all. For many, summer term was the perfect chance to catch up on credits in a more relaxed atmosphere. Most scheduled clas­ ses early to leave af­ ternoons open for sun and evenings open for socializing. For some students, however, their last spring term final was just a pause until summer term. Two weeks of freedom was all students could enjoy before returning to the books. “It was really laid back. Every­ one scheduled their classes early and got them over by 12:00,” me­ chanical engineering senior Harry Fischer said. “The rest of the day was spent at the pool studying, or whatever.” “Summer term was good be­ cause I was able to take two half term classes and another full term class. So I actually took three clas­ ses while using up only two classes worth of time.” A GALLERY OF all ages enjoys a Summer Circle Theatre presentation on the green be­ tween the Red Cedar River and the Auditori­ um. A variety of events and festivals were held throughout the summer. During summer term, 7,126 stu­ dents were enrolled in classes full time. But that didn’t mean all clas­ ses were attended. “My roommate Laura had a psychology class,” Debbie Nolan, a sophomore no-preference major, said. “She went to it four times. Once was the first day. The second time was for the first test. The third time was for the second test. The fourth was for the final exam.” Sophomore business manage­ ment major James Lee found that temptation, too. “In the summer everything was slower and the clas­ ses were easier. It was hard to study though, because I would have rather been outside.” Some people stayed on simply to work on the maintenance crews for the residence halls, including Ed Dominguez, a packaging senior. “I worked in Akers Hall on the maintenance crew. Even though there weren’t that many people liv­ ing there there was still a lot to do. Repainting the rooms and taking out the lofts that were left behind was mainly what I did.” Chris Sudibya, an electrical en­ gineering junior worked on the maintenance staff. “I worked maintenance full time in Shaw Hall. First, I would fix the holes and the dinks in the walls, and then I would paint them.” A problem some encountered were bar nights, including Nolan. “I lived on Gunson over the sum­ mer. We were so far from campus that we never went to class. All we did was party. It was funny be­ cause there was never anyone in line at the bar and they were hard­ ly ever packed.” Students had to decide if sum­ mer term was for them. It offered easy classes, poolside studying and a laid back atmosphere. But as with everything else in this world, it does have its minuses — like empty bars. by Patrick Kessler Photos by Lewis Geyer NOT QUITE THE IDEA Toyota had in mind for the use of their truck. MSU students im­ provise a backyard pool. As temperatures rose in the summer so did the creativity of students seeking a way to keep cool. EVEN WITH STUDENTS gone Grand Riv­ er Avenue was still packed with shoppers. Stores and ice cream shops on the avenue of­ fer variety and fun year round. Welcome Week kicked off fall term with three days of moving, unpacking, loft building and in­ terior decorating. “The best parties of the term are during Welcome Week," said freshman Phil Slocum. Movers and makers The first time students felt their way through it. The second time they had an idea but weren’t there yet. The third time they just about had it. The fourth time was like the back of your hand. Yes, moving in to the residence hall took years of practice. The purpose of your room was to be your home for eight months, and the decor or your room reflect­ ed that. The all important day of decorating was the day you moved in. The days for move-in were Fri­ day, Saturday and Sunday, the 19th, 20th and 21st of September. However, added to the fact that al­ most 18,000 people were trying to move in on those three days, the Spartan football team was playing its first home game against Notre Dame on national television Satur­ day. Most people avoided that hec­ tic Saturday, but for some it was unavoidable. “Saturday was the only day we could come up. It was the only day we could get a truck,” no­ preference freshman Joel Panitch said. “Thursday we came and built the loft Saturday we finished it off.” Most, however, did avoid that dreadful day. Ann Pachota, a graphic design junior, was one of them. “My roommate wanted to be part of Welcome Week festivities so she came up early, but I had to come up Sunday because it was the only day I could get a ride.” “Sunday I called her and told her I’d be up at 10 a.m. with the loft, the carpeting, the couch, the fridge, the whole room really. She was supposed to have everything ready when I got there, desks and dressers in the hall and stuff. Well, we didn’t get there until around 3 p.m., and Lynne wasn’t around. So me and my dad and my mom put the room together. Lynne came back and we finished off the room in no time.” But even after avoiding Satur­ day, people had problems, like Jen­ ny Khodadadeh, a merchandising management junior. “I came up a day early (Thursday the 18th) and since the elevator wasn’t working I had to carry my carpeting up the stairs. I almost had a hernia.” Khodadadeh wasn’t alone in her struggles though. Amy Shaw, a journalism freshman “brought so much stuff up that when her room­ mates came they went ’Aaagh.’ The closet was way too small for three people so we went out and bought milk crates to put our clothes in.” Joining the crowd of unlucky movers was Debbie Nolan, a no­ preference sophomore. “The only thing I didn’t want was wicker in my room. When I got there it was nothing but wicker. There were even ostrich plumes. It was full of it. I almost cried. Plus it was my first day of college.” From the first day, the barren rooms were adjusted to match the personalities of the occupants. “We usually don’t study in our room so we made it more like a liv­ ing room,” English junior Erik Shimp said. “We put in a couch, chair, stereo, TV, table and every­ thing else. Building a loft let us do all this.” The loft. It offered so much op­ portunity to do a variety of things to a room because it provided for so much floor space. A platform served the same purpose. Walking down any hallway in any residence hall you could count the number of lofts and platforms being built on both hands. “We started to build our plat­ form on Sunday, ” John Curran, a sports medicine sophomore, said,“ and we didn’t finish it until Monday afternoon.” The common denominator to a residence hall was that the room reflected the person and the person reflected the room. Together they made for a lot of memories. by Patrick Kessler WITH A LITTLE help from Mom, journalism sophomore Annette Rogers unpacks her worldly possessions for her home away from home.

Photos by Lu Vcrn Pennington campus in one of MSU’s With over 17,000 stu-dents living on 26 residence halls, smaller floor units helped to create a home away from home. Each floor de­ veloped its own per­ sonality from tradi­ tions and activities. Spirit passed along fourteen years ago? Details are sketchy, but the first pyramid was built in protest of the turkey tet- razzini that had been regularly served in the cafeteria. “They blamed their kookiness on the din­ ner,” explained Akursed member Mignon Brown, a sophomore studying elementary education. But the spirit doesn’t exist only in Akers. Hubbard Hall has been commanding the attention of the campus for twenty-one years every homecoming weekend. Under the direction of government and man­ agement, the twelve floors of the north and south buildings use their room lights to spell the cheer, “GO MSU.” “We get a note in our mailbox telling us the day and time, and whether we’re ‘on’ or ‘off,” said freshman business major Shirley Johns. “I thought it was really neat.” Katie Steinbacher, a freshman English major, feels that “Light Up Hubbard” really “.. . builds unity, not only with-in the dorm. Everyone goes out and sees it.” A little more subtle than the brightness of 192 rooms, two rooms on twelfth Hubbard have their own tradition to make them stand out. The green flood light glowing from the southwest window of North Hubbard was instilled as a tradition by Kelly Ludema, a soph­ omore business administration major. Why? To give Hubbard North symmetry. With the red light shining out of the far left side, the green light in the far right room evens things out. “It gives balance, you see,” Ludema ration­ alized. The red light beaming from 1262 North Hubbard has been a beacon for twelve years or more. “Each year the people leave a note for the next people to leave the light on. It’s pretty funny. It’s got a reputation,” said Political Sci­ ence junior Mike Zeinstra, who lived two doors down from the light. “It’s part of the floor. When the bulb burned out for a weekend people came up and asked why it wasn’t on.” Originally, the red flood light was placed in the north-west room to guide home Hubbard residents who had had too much to drink. But this isn’t common knowledge. “We thought the red one was Rox­ anne from the Police song. We see the lights and we kid about the red one an awful lot,” suggested Gale Rand, a James Madison freshman. Chris Booth, a pre-med fresh­ man who lives in the room and makes sure the light always shines, said, “All we were told is we had to have it on. We don’t even notice it because we have it all boxed in. It shines out, but it doesn’t shine in. It’s always on, all day and night.” Whether for the group or just for fun, hall residents strived to stand out through long-lasting traditions unique to their floor. by Elizabeth Krebs The ultimate residence hall tra­ dition. What can your floor do to really stand out in the world’s larg­ est on-campus housing system? How can you make sure that when you say, “I’m from two West Wil­ son,” people will know who you are? Members of “Akursed,” the fourth floor of East Akers Hall, think they have an answer. Their solution is Turkey. In its four­ teenth year, Turkey is a twenty- one member pyramid consisting of eighteen men and three women with its own group of cheerleaders. But what makes this pyramid dif­ ferent is that it’s constructed dur­ ing half-time on the turf of the last home football game. We wanted the tradition to be carried on this year,” commented Lesley Lane, a sophomore business major and co-organizer of the 1986 Turkey pyramid. “A lot of people off campus know about it, too. Alums expect it at the last home game.” Gregg Giorgio, a freshman no­ pref and member of Skid Row, the second level of the pyramid, said, “It’s a good way to meet everyone else on the floor and get involved . . . Turkey’s just been a lot of fun.” “We are unique and special,” declared co-organizer Maureen Okasinski, a sophomore pre-med major, “No other floor is unified enough to get together and do it. Think how close the people must have been to have started it.” How did Turkey come about COMMUNICATION JUNIOR Cindy Stuy- vesant practices her guitar for a campus cru­ sade music session while her Butterfield Hall roommate, Nursing senior Dorothy Strong studies for an exam.

Equal distribution of work among roommates was often a problem of college life but co-ops offered a solution. The principle philosophy of a co-op was the co­ operation and team spirit among its members. “We’re a group of people who came together and decided to share the duties of the house,” said George Jacobi, an international re­ lations junior and a member of Bower Co-op, 126 Whitehills Dr. There were eight co-ops near campus, each with its own person­ ality and special appeal. The smallest co-op housed 12 people and the largest had 23. House members took over all functions of a household. Each member worked about five hours in one of five ar­ eas: treasurer, food steward, cook­ ing, cleaning and maintenance. All co-ops provided food and since ev­ eryone paid equally, food and kitchen facilities were shared by all. Some co-ops offered vegetari­ an options, but Bower Co-op was the only completely vegetarian house. “We’re the only strictly no-meat co-op,” said Jacobi. “About three- fourths of the people who live here chose it because it was vegetarian, but I moved in because I thought it would be interesting to try it.” Living in the co-op was enjoy­ able because roommates often do not share the workload and respon­ sibilities of a house, making it un­ fair to the other people living there, added Jacobi. Another co-op resident agreed. “One of the things that can make or break a house is people not doing their jobs,” said Kevin Fitzpatrick, international business and marketing senior and resident of Zolton Co-op, 505 M.A.C. “At first I thought ‘I don’t have time to do the jobs I’m assigned’ but then I realized it was no big deal because it only took an hour or two.” Co-ops enjoyed a more favor­ able reputation. “There is a lot more member participation than previous years,” said Carol Ziemba, vice president of membership for the Student Housing Corporation and Inter­ Cooperative Council, 317 Student Services. “Members are more con­ cerned about their living environ­ ment and are trying to improve it.” The prices for co-ops averaged about $725 a term for singles and $675 a term for doubles. “We’ve had lots of requests for information,” said Ziemba. “In the past a lot of houses didn’t fill up until the term started. This year most houses were full before the term.” Fitzpatrick also noticed a change in the co-op system and an improved image. “I’ve lived in the co-op system for three years and I’ve seen quite a few changes,” he said. “Projects and maintenance have increased and people are getting along better — they are throwing more parties. Also, the central office is more to­ gether; the quality of people has improved and they are more pro­ fessional.” by Kim Alexander With over 200 mem­ bers, the 8 member cooperative houses provide an alterna­ tive to on-campus living. The houses offer a broad range of sizes, locations and food options. PRIVATE BATHROOMS ARE a luxury for most college students, Denis Bushey enjoys a shave in the bathroom of his house.

Over 20,000 students choose to live in houses and apartments in East Lansing this year instead of in residence halls. 22 Michigan counties were declared disast­ erareas as 27 consec­ utive days of rain crippled the state. Campus and area businesses suffered minor flooding. The disaster was the worst in Michigan history. A month of gray It was like living through the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. Although it did not rain for 40 days and nights, 27 consecutive days of rain in Michigan caused the worst flooding damage in over 50 years. About 8 .34 inches of rain fell during September, the Na­ tional Weather Service reported. Throughout the state five peo­ ple were killed and 89 suffered storm-related injuries. In addition, nine dams failed, 990 people sought assistance in public shel­ ters, 29,700 homes were affected with water in basements and 1700 homes incurred structural dam­ age. At the peak of the disaster 3,600 miles of roads were left im­ passable statewide and 63,800 were left without electricity. Following the storms and flooding which resulted in nearly $300 million in damage, Gov. James Blanchard declared a state of disaster in 22 counties. According to Professor Don­ ald Christenson, an extension spe­ cialist in the crop and soil sciences department, the flooding also damaged experimental crops at MSU. “You can’t really put a price­ tag on the damage,” Christenson said. “The loss could be anywhere from $100,000 to $2 or $5 million. There is just no way to pinpoint an exact amount.” The most serious agricultural research projects affected by the flooding were in the areas of breed­ ing projects, he said. However, one professor one-third of his research sites on a tillage project he was working on, Christenson added. Although the University suf­ fered severe setbacks in the area of crop research, and some monetary losses, farmers were affected most by the flooding, he said. “I’m very concerned about the farmers and how they will re­ cover” Christenson said. “The farmers are the people who really suffered the most from this or­ deal.” (The flooding) has created some setbacks and some inconven- ie nces for MSU, but we can ab­ sorb our losses and go on. It is not so easy for farmers. For students the rain and cloudiness created different prob­ lems. Raincoats and umbrellas be­ came standard for students trying to keep dry on the daily trek to classes. “Everyday I would get up to walk to class and it would be rain­ ing - pouring down rain,” said child development senior Lisa Wil­ son. “A lot of times I wouldn’t want to even go outside because I knew I would be soaked to the bone by the time I got to class.” Throughout campus the squish-squash of wet tennis shoes and boots could be heard echoing down hallways in classroom build­ ings as students left tiny puddles of water behind. Gray drizzly skies also put a damper on weekend plans for many students. “I had tickets for a couple of football games and the weather just ruined all of the plans we had for the weekend,” said communi­ cations senior Tania Light. “Who wants to a football game and sit in the rain on wet benches? It got to the point where I didn’t even want to go outside.” by Michael Ilich DEBRIS FROM the steeple of the People’s Church forced the State Police to close off a section of Grand River at Michigan Avenue.

Fest-foiled memories “Memories in Motion; MSU ce­ lebrates 150 years of Michigan,” may have been the theme, but the only memories many Spartans will have of Homecoming 1986 are of lacerations and multiple contu­ sions. What was called the “most vio­ lent Cedar Fest ever” by local offi­ cials capped a week of scheduled events in which student participa­ tion was described as apathetic. “I listened to the game on the ra­ dio and I know a few people who went to it,” said engineering senior Mario Cristancho. “But, I didn’t go to any of the other things and I can’t think of anyone else who did. But I do know a lot of people who went to Cedar Fest.” A pumpkin carving contest and classic car show scheduled to kick off the festivities drew only about 30 people. Students at Shaw hall said they did not notice anything too special about Tuesday’s RHA-sponsored special dinner except for the food - prime rib. And only a few people through­ out campus donned the old green and white to show their homecom­ ing spirit for Thursday’s “green- and-white day.” “It’s stupid,” said materials lo­ gistics management senior Beth Fisher. “Homecoming just isn’t as big a deal to people as it was in high school Nobody knows anyone on court, or anything, so who cares?” Interest did pick up, howevers, for the traditional parade on Fri­ day. About 600 students participated in the parade which featured: 13 cars dating from 1920, nine floats, three decorated cars, three spirit banners, the Campus Clowns, MSU cheerleaders and the Spar­ tan Marching Band. MSU’s only NFL Hall of Fam- er, Herb Adderly, along with Don Japinga and Steve Juday, co-cap- tains of MSU’s 1965 national championship football team, served as grand marshals for the parade. East Lansing residents and stu­ dents lined the parade route from Hannah Middle School, 819 Ab­ bott Road, to Case Field but had to be persuaded by members of the marching band to attend the bon­ fire which followed. “Everybody was drifting off af­ ter the parade and they weren’t go­ ing to the bonfire,” said nursing ju­ nior Susan Aula. “We had to chase them to Case Field. It was pathet­ ic.” After a short speech, the grand marshals introduced the 1986 homecoming court and crowned the king and queen. John Ringlein, an electrical engineering senior from Flint, Mich, and Kim Dew, a mathematics senior from Temple Hills, Md., were chosen by a panel of students and faculty. They were formally presented and crowned during half-time festivities at Sa­ turday’s game against the Purdue Boilermakers. On Saturday, Spartan Stadium was packed with about 77,063 fans and hundreds of green balloons sold by the Campus Clowns to ben­ efit the Capital-area United Way. The balloons were let loose at the games kickoff. The Spartans de­ feated the Boilermakers 37-3. Alumni functions after the game were sparsely attended. by Patty Hamilton Five days of floats, parades, bonfires and spirit contests were capped off by a victory over Purdue, but the week was dampened by the most violent bi­ annual Cedar Fest blockparty in history.

In response to the Holmes Hall fire of May, 1986 in which 34 residents were in­ jured, new rules for fire safety were put into effect. A study in safety “NOTICE: Residence hall rooms with lofts must have a bat­ tery operated smoke detector in working order and attached at all times.99 Plastered on residence hall bul­ letin boards, printed in boldfaced type in every Welcome Week flyer, and permanently embedded in the speech patterns of every hall man­ ager, this phrase served as both no­ tification and warning that the Residence Hall Association (RHA) had beefed up its fire safety policies. Regulations, spar­ ked in part by the Holmes Hall fire of Spring 1986, included the smoke detector policy and limita­ tions on memos and cutouts hung on doors and in hallways. Chuck Gagliano, manager of University Housing, explained that these new standards stem from a long, continuous set of re­ quirements regarding lofts and residence halls that started about ten years ago. Gagliano said his hope was that students in residence halls would become more aware and observant of both new and standard fire regulations and emergency measures. To assist in his campaign, the RHA had stick­ TO PRACTICE fire safety in the residence halls, Rather Hall residents participate in a fire drill. To increase awareness, smoke alarms were required in all rooms with a loft. ers printed up with emergency pro­ cedures for the inside of residence hall doors. According to Gagliano, the aim was to create an informa­ tion sheet that was “accurate and applied to all our facilities,” in­ creased student awareness, and updated outmoded stickers on ol­ der residence hall doors. In an ad­ ditional effort to aid students, the RHA restructured the format of Spartan Life to make emergency facts more easily accessible: infor­ mation appeared on the back of Spartan Life. What did students think about it all? Most residence hall students agreed that the changes, especially the smoke detector code, were worthwhile. Jodi Shippey, a fresh­ man no-preference major com­ mented, “I think the smoke alarms are a good idea.” Freshman fi­ nance major Chris Bien also sup­ ported the regulation. “I think it’s just for the safety of students. I even have a fire extinguisher on my loft. It’s chrome. It adds a touch of class to my room.” Mat VanVleck, a sophomore physiology major and resident assistant for Akers 6E, had mixed views. “I was really dis­ appointed that all my name tags had to come down.” But, he con­ ceded, “I think we can live with it.” Doug Bickel, an advertising ju­ nior, brought up another point about the fire safety issue, main­ taining that the policy should be taken one step further. “They (the university) should supply smoke detectors for every room. If there’s a fire in my room, it doesn’t make any difference to me whether I have a loft or not.” Although most residence halls required the occupants to supply their own smoke detectors, some halls, such as Hubbard, would loan a detector to a student for a year, on the condition that he sign a con­ tract pledging the upkeep and safe return of the smoke detector. An increase in rules, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that stu­ dents would observe overall safety practices. Sophomore business major Steven West felt that the smoke detector regulation was, “a pretty intelligent decision,” yet he admitted that he usually ignored the fire buzzer when it sounds. “I’ve never lived past the second floor,” West shrugged, “I’ve al­ ways figured I’d jump.” by Elizabeth Krebs EXPERIENCING AN INTERRUPTION of their morning showers, two Rather Hall stu­ dents drip dry waiting for the all-clear bell to ring.

Photos by La Vern Pennington Learning for life Volunteering provided students with the chance to give to the community and to help others. MSU boasts the oldest and largest student volunteer program in the country. Over 40,000 students a year call East Lansing “home”, but not many see the city as more than the bars and stores of Grand River Av­ enue. Those who’ve been involved with the Service-Learning Center do. The Service-Learning Center, 26 Student Services, coordinates volunteer services for the univer­ sity and the greater Lansing area. It gives students the opportunity to become involved with life in East Lansing. Do students take that opportunity? Mary Edens, assistant director of Student life Service-Learning Center says yes. “We’re seeing a reinterest and revival in public service just for the sake of public service,” Edens said. Established in 1967 by the Board of Trustees as the Office of Volunteer Programs, the center of­ fers placements in over 250 differ­ ent volunteer organizations. It is the oldest and largest college vol­ unteer program in the country. Last year over 13,000 students participated. The 1987 Senior Class took on a lot of philanthropic projects, such as working with the homeless in Benton Harbor, Michigan, and really made a difference, Edens said. “I’m excited that seniors be­ came so involved this year,” she said. “They serve as leaders and role models for incoming freshmen and get them involved. I’ll be sorry to see them go.” One of these seniors was Valerie Sherwood. Sherwood, a recreational thera­ py major, finished her second year as student coordinator for the Michigan School for the Blind vol­ unteer program. The Michigan School for the Blind is a residential facility, serv­ ing blind, deaf, and multiply im­ paired children. MSU’s volunteer program lets students teach these kids how to swim, cross-country ski, and ride horses, as well as other recreational activities. As a coordinator, Sherwood was in charge of recruiting, placing, and helping volunteers with any problems that they may have come across. Edens said that these problems were rare because the center made sure that their volunteers are well prepared and have chosen the pro­ gram best suited to them. But stu­ dent coordinators give support and make sure volunteers know that they’re not out there alone. “I act as a liason between the agency and the volunteers,” Sher­ wood said. “I call them and see how they’re doing and I like to talk to them about why they’re doing it. “Some volunteer because they need the volunteer hours for their major, but a lot do it so they can have more to do than just home­ work. “It’s fun and they feel needed.” Sherwood, who began as a pre- veterinary major, said that many students change their career plans because of the experience. “A lot of people find that it’s a lot more fulfilling than, say, busi­ ness,” Sherwood said. Edens emphasized that volun­ teer programs gave students the chance to see whether they were really cut out for the career they’d prepared for. “Sometimes they find that they don’t have the patience or the per­ sonality for working with the im­ paired,” she said. The average number of volun­ teers in Sherwood’s program was 30 per term, but the more people the better. “All the kids there are blind or deaf and if there’s only one volun­ teer and ten kids, nothing much will happen,” Edens said. “Volunteers are really important because you need the one-to-one contact to teach the kids to cross country ski or to ride a horse.” Lana Dart, the assistant to the director of Student Life Service- Learning Center also stressed the importance of volunteers in the community. “There are many agencies in the community with a high need for volunteers,” Dart said. “The inter­ action of college students with resi­ dents is important. There is so much to be gained on both sides.” Edens said that the center had something to offer students from freshmen to seniors but that it’s best to get involved early. “Much of this class got involved later than usual because they didn’t know the center existed,” Edens said. “When they came in as fresh­ men we were recovering from a big budget crunch and information just wasn’t getting out. “It’s still the best secret on cam­ pus.” Lewis Gever Lewis Geyer COMMUNICATION JUNIOR KIM Murphy gives Milo Mitchell a kiss as she volunteers at the Lansing Daytime Resource Center.

FOR THE LAST home football game, mar­ ching band members generated some Christmas spirit by wearing red and white stocking caps and performing a medley of holiday tunes. RESIDENTS OF RATHER HALL anticipate the opening of the more than 300 gifts sent to the residents by their parents. This was the second year that Rather Hall govern­ ment organized the event. RESIDENT ASSISTANTS Paul Bawol and Kathy Smith hand out gifts at the Rather Hall Christmas party. Members of the hall government also dressed as elves to help pass out gifts. From hall sponsored events to a night on the town, students welcomed holidays as a chance to cele­ brate. That holiday spirit Whether it was trick-or-trea- ting, turkey or tinsel, students found their own ways to celebrate the holidays on campus. Events such as parties, dinners and de­ corations helped to give the holi­ days a distinct college flair. One popular way to spend Hal­ loween was at B’Zar, 220 M.A.C.B’Zar hosted their third annual Halloween party where prizes were given away for the best costume. First prize was a $1000 gift certificate from J.B. Robinson Jewelers, second and third place each received a $250 gift certifi­ cate. Winners were determined by crowd applause and WVIC disc jockey Mark Malone helped the crowd get excited, said entertain­ ment director Laura Willcock. “We had a waiting line,” said Willcock. “Since the prize was so big we drew a huge crowd. We had to turn some people away.” “Halloween was an event that my roommates and I look forward to every year,” said mechanical en­ gineering senior Pat Carter. “This was the third year we had a party and each year it gets better. We had a large turnout and most ev­ eryone wore a costume. Everyone voted at midnight for the best cos­ tume and the winner received a bottle of champagne. Although Halloween is supposed to be for kids, most college students I know really look forward to it,” he added. Thanksgiving, unlike Hallow­ een, was a relatively quiet holiday on campus. Students seemed to relish the idea of two days vacation for Thanksgiving rather than cele­ brating it. Hall decorations were nearly all the attention Thanks­ giving received on campus. While most students packed up to visit friends and family, others request­ ed keys to the hall and prepared for a long, quiet weekend. “I stayed in Snyder Hall over Thanksgiving break,” said Tom Baasch, hotel, restaurant and insti­ tutional management sophomore. “It was very relaxing yet boring because there weren’t many people around. I watched a lot of T.V. I had peanut butter and jelly sand­ wiches for five days — I missed Thanksgiving dinner the most.” Students returned from Thanks­ giving break and were greeted by Christmas decorations and celeb­ rations. Residence hall floors had “Secret Santa” gift exchanges be­ tween students. Rather Hall had their own version of this. Rather Hall’s student government sent let­ ters to the resident’s parents asking them to send a stocking staffer gift for their son or daughter, said Rather Hall government president Angie Cupp. The resident assis­ tants handed out the gifts at the Christmas party which featured Christmas decorations, a tree and punch and cookies. “The student turnout was exel- lent,” said Cupp, a communica­ tions sophomore. “Some members of the social committee dressed up as elves and passed out presents with the RA’s.” Another part of the Christmas- celebration was the special dinner served by the residence halls on the Sunday before finals week. Early in the day eggnog, seasonal cookies and candies and hor d’oeuvres were served, followed by a dinner of carved steamship rounds, breast of chicken and battered shrimp. A holiday dessert extravaganza was served with the meal, said Judy Marlin, residence hall develop­ ment coordinator. “The Christmas dinner was re­ ally good,” said Linda Spence, merchandising management sophomore. “There were all sorts of cookies and candies downstairs before dinner. It was great — all the decorations made it look really festive.” One holiday decorating effort was not met with enthusiasm. Many students were upset when they learned the university pur­ chased exterior residence hall de­ corations from Bronner Christmas Wonderland of Frankenmuth for $20,000. East Complex residence halls were chosen to receive the collapsible and plastic figures and signs. by Kim Alexander MANY DECORATED their dorm rooms to get into the holiday spirit. Miniature lights, artificial Christmas trees and ribbon were popular ways to liven up the holidays. Indi­ vidual residence halls also had many decora­ tions for the season. Photos by La Vern Pennington "Some people can sniff out a wolf right away But others are brought up thinking it's OK to trust someone with a Bible." - Michael Shane Misguided faith? Michael Shane was a normal, well- adjusted young man. He grew up in a small town with small town values. In high school Shane excelled in academics, enjoyed sports and devel­ oped an interest in the Bible. It was this curiosity in the Bible which influenced his decision to attend Calvin College, a private religious in­ stitution in Grand Rapids. Shane wanted to explore the opportunities he believed religion could open up for him. In fall, 1982, Shane transferred to MSU to major in horticulture with hopes of eventually putting his degree to use as a missionary. Shortly after arriving at MSU he contacted Inter-Varsity Christian Fel­ lowship and MSU Bible Study, both religious organizations were “upbeat,” Shane said. “I made instant friendships,” he said. “But, somehow they seemed too passive. I was looking for more involve­ ment.” It was following these experiences and in the winter of 1983 that Shane was led by a “shepherd” to University Bible Fellowship. Now, three years and $16,000 later, Shane said that he feels he has a re­ sponsibility to warn others about the dangers some religious organizations pose. “Some people can sniff out a wolf right away,” he said. “But others are brought up thinking it’s OK to trust someone with a Bible.” Shane’s parents, suspicious of his in­ volvement in the organization, remort­ gaged their home to raise the money needed to send him out West for exit counseling. Exit counseling is a process of reorienting individuals who have been involved in cults. Shane’s involvement began as he was walking through the library and stumbled across a young man who was displaying a Bible amid his textbooks. Unknown to Shane, the young man was a UBF “shepherd” recruiting new members. The process began with one-on-one Bible study sessions and later led to a meeting at the group’s center on Jor­ dan Street in East Lansing. “He took me to a meeting,” Shane said. “He whisked me in, and whisked me out.” During Shane’s first visit, everyone in the organization “stroked” his ego. “They try to flatter you by telling you ‘you’re so wonderful, we’re so hap­ py you’re here . . .’ that kind of stuff,” Shane said. The primary tool of UBF was to gain control of people through gaining con­ trol of their time, he said. Members of the organization held one-on-one Bible study sessions which required new members, or “sheep” as they were called, to write sogums - reports over what they had studied. Sogums required members to apply the teachings of the Bible to their lives, adding personal details and “the really juicy stuff,” Shane said. “It’s easy to get one-sided and con­ trol someone by using sogums,” he said. “It’s a tool to clog up a person’s thinking patterns. You’re so busy writ­ ing them you don’t have time to think about anything else.” “It got to be hilarious,” Shane added. “Even the leaders were writing these stupid things. It was almost like a drug doing it over and over again. Sometimes I would be so busy I would be working on five or six at a time.” In addition to Bible study and so­ gums, members were required to at­ tend UBF church and group fellowsh­ ips. “They give everybody leadership roles, such as leading prayers, to make sure they stay involved,” Shane said. “You’re under a lot of pressure to be present at the meetings. It’s almost like do or die.” At one point, Shane said, he donated $940 - his tuition money - toward con­ struction of a new UBF center. Origi­ nally Shane had pledged $40, but after a speech given by, then director, Jacob Kim about greedy, selfish Americans, Shane dropped his class schedule to two courses - so he could give the money to UBF. According to Shane, members of UBF are largely isolated from others due to the heavy schedule forced upon them. The group scheduled events coincid­ ing with vacations and weekends, members were unable to go home to spend time with family or others who might have influence on the student according to Shane. “After a while you end up thinking like them,” Shane said. “Your voice even starts to sound the same - dropping articles (of speech), you get that ‘sing-songy, tone’” he added with a chuckle. Looking back, Shane realizes now that he was a typical candidate for UBF indoctrination. The organization normally trys to recruit individuals who are bright and have a strong interest in religion. “As a shepherd, I worked on my friends and international students,“ he said. “International students are espe­ cially naive and looking for friendship.” “And there I was, this nice smiling person just waiting to be their friend,” Shane added. After about one year of actively par­ ticipating in the workings of the orga­ nization, Shane had successfully train­ ed one shepherd. On a weekend trip home in June 1984, Shane’s parents confronted him with information they had gathered concerning University Bible Fellow­ ship. They feared that their son was in­ volved in a cult. After undergoing weeks of therapy, interacting with people, watching tele­ vision, going to the movies and other social activities to reacquaint the per­ son with “normal” life, Shane returned to MSU. He also returned to UBF, but not in the same capacity. This time, instead of canvassing the University in search of potential mem­ bers, Shane tried to warn the people he had recruited and talk them into leav­ ing the organization. “I told my friend, ‘Look, I’ve got some news for you . . Shane said. “He was shook up at first but it was relatively easy for him to get away be­ cause he wasn’t as deeply involved in the organization as I had been.” While MSU has the only chapter of University Bible Fellowship in Michi­ gan, the organization has centers in several states across the United States, Shane said. The group has also made the head­ lines with articles about people who have had experiences similar to Shane’s. Students from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwest­ ern University at Evanston have also made their experiences with UBF pub­ lic. The University of Winnepeg in Canada has banned UBF from its campus for allegedly using mind alter­ ing techniques and psychological abuse on members. But, according to finance junior Brian Huggler, president of MSU’s UNIVERSITY BIBLE FEL­ LOWSHIP worked out of this house on North Harrison Road. and Studer with newspaper articles, her letter to DiBiaggio and investiga­ tive reports from Lasker Investiga­ tions, licensed legal investigators from Chicago. Other than a letter from the presi­ dent’s office stating that an investiga­ tion into the organization would be conducted, Flore said as of February, six months after her initial complaint, she had received no word from the University. “As an MSU alumna I did not want to see the University connected with this group,” she said. “It angered me to see them taking young people in and hood-winking them.” by Janis Mathe­ son and Michael Ilich chapter of UBF, the organization is “the furthest thing from a cult.” “People on campus might say we’re a cult because the missionaries are from Korea,” Huggler said. “It’s not like that at all, people aren’t forced to shave their head or anything.” “I was a Christian long before I joi­ ned UBF,” he said. “And my beliefs come before the group.” The MSU chapter has approximate­ ly 50 members, including missionaries, Huggler said. But, the organization is growing and has been searching for a larger house centrally located to cam­ pus. MSU Student Life Center staff ad­ viser Ezra Hyland said he could not comment on whether or not the Uni­ versity had received any complaints in connection with UBF. Hyland referred to the Spartan Life student handbook and reiterated MSU’s philosophy con­ cerning register student organizations. “.. . no organization may have its reg­ istration denied or suspended on the grounds of its beliefs or attitudes . . .” Harry Carswell, student life assis­ tant director, said that he could not re­ call any complaints dealing with the organization. However, in a letter to President John DiBiaggio dated July 8, 1986, Elaine Flore, Michael Shane’s sister, said that she encouraged the Univer­ sity to deny UBF its RSO status. In ad­ dition, she formulated a letter writing campaign encouraging families with students involved in UBF to also write. An estimated 15-20 people wrote to DiBiaggio and James Studer, assistant vice president of student affairs, ac­ cording to Flore. Flore also wanted University offi­ cials to overturn a decision allowing the group to hold its summer conven­ tion at the Wharton Center - which went ahead as planned. According to an official in the Life­ long Education Department who asked not to be identified, the Univer­ sity investigated UBF following sever­ al complaints lodged by parents and members of the community. Flore visited the Student Life Cen­ ter three times and supplied Hyland Feasting the fast way “We have a better Union than U-M,” boasted business junior Vince Palermo. “Burger King Whopper night, 50 cent slices of pizza at Little Caesars, and the convenience of Kinko’s (copying center). Now there’s a great place!” After it was opened at the be­ ginning of fall term, the re­ sponse to the Union’s newly renovated food court was over­ whelmingly positive. The proj­ ect, which germinated in 1983, was begun in mid-April 1986, and was completed and ready for business by September. “I think (the food court) was a good idea,” finance senior Benjamin Grier said. “I think it was long overdue. The main thing is it’s close to the library.” One Union Square became home to Burger King, Little Caesar’s Pizza Station, Hobie’s and Haagen Dazs. Also includ­ ed in the renovation was a U.S. Postal station, two East Lan­ sing State Bank automated teller machines and a Kinko’s copy center. Oriented as a meeting place for students, the food court was also frequented by many mem­ bers of MSU’s faculty and peo­ ple from the East Lansing busi­ ness community. “It’s about an 85 to 15 (per­ cent) mix on students and non­ students,” James Sheppard, Union manager, said. As people of all ages strolled through the new area, pop mu­ sic circulated through the voices of the crowded dining room, forest green decor acted as a subliminal cheerleader for the Union and MSU and it all added up to a unanimous vote of approval by the public. Most importantly, many peo­ ple said they thought One Union Square was a great improvement over the Union Grill, the previous occupant of the 7,600 square feet of space. “We didn’t go to the grill,” said history sophomore Mindy Phillips. With a puzzled look on her face, Phillips’ roommate agreed, “The Grill?” With the addition of four new, popular restaurants con­ veniently located in the center of campus, how did the old standbys on Grand River fare? “Apparently they’re still keeping up with the fast-food craze,” Dan Barnes, manager of Domino’s Pizza serving west campus, said with a chuckle. “It hasn’t really affected our competition at all. On rainy days students don’t want to walk over to the Union so they just give us a call.” “They (Union restaurants) don’t deliver. We do,” he added. Everett Freeman, manager of Westside Deli, also said that he did not notice any competi­ tion problems. “We have not really seen a drop in business,” he said. So, did Union Square pass the test and live up to ever­ yone’s expectations? “It’s met all of our expecta­ tions,” Sheppard said happily. “We’re extremely delighted to see all the response that it’s had.” by Elizabeth Krebs The brass, wood anc plants of One Union Square replaced the old Union grill bringing Whoppers, pizza and designer ice cream to cam­ pus.

Mike Stassus Mexican connections It was like going south of the border without leaving East Lan­ sing. Mexican beers, especially Corona, became the latest craze at local bars. “It is something fun and differ­ ent to get caught up in,” said Becky Miller, hotel, restaurant and institutional management sophomore. “The specials on them at the bar were great. Corona is a happy-hour sort of drink.” For Miller and many others, Mexican beer provided a change of pace. “It’s one of those trendy things,” said Charlie Keely, assistant man­ ager of America’s Cup. “Coronas were really popular fall term, but because of the price people are starting to back off,” said Keely. The beer came in blue and white painted bottles and was served with a lime in the bottle “Corona is good, but I don’t think its any different from Ameri­ can beer. Corona tastes like any other beer with a lime in it,” said Dave North, finance sophomore. “But there’s a prestige of carry­ ing it around in the bar,” said North. Majic Market, 210 Michigan Avenue saw a growth in sales of Corona, but also imported beer in general. “St. Pauli Girl has been popular too,” said a cashier at the store, “But sales have tapered off. I guess students have more money early in the year to spend on imports.” For Kevin Gray, accounting sophomore, Canadian Moosehead was the preferred beer this year. “We go over to Canada on week­ ends and stock up. We live so close to the border.” said Gray. He agreed with North that imported beer was a status symbol. “At the bar, if you walk around with a Busch in your hand, no girl will look twice at you. Carry­ ing an import shows that you have a little class and you care about what you’re drinking,” explained Gray. From Canadian adventures to Mexican imports, American col­ lege students enjoyed a diversion from the usual bar scene. “Something else will probably be the in thing next year,” said Miller, “but this was the year that MSU kicked back and dropped a lime in their Corona bottle.” by Phil Peters Mexican beer moved north of the border to East Lansing and into the hearts of students looking for a change. “Combat Juice" and “Blue Marlins" also pro­ vided excitement.

FRESHMAN ALISA FOSS feels the effects of waiting in line for season football tickets at Spartan Stadium on September 25. Foss waited in line beginning at 5:00 a.m. Dave Hansen PREPARED FOR A NIGHT of “roughing it,” these fans bring the term “camping out for tickets” to life as they profess true Spar­ tan spirit in their support of the hockey team. WAITING FOR HOCKEY ticket sales to be­ gin, a group of students make themselves comfortable and pass the idle hours with card games and conversation. Patrick O'Brien Dave Hansen Fate in numbers Once a year Hoovervilles, tent communities set up by families during the Depression era, made a comeback at MSU. No, the Uni­ versity was not suffering from a fi­ nancial crunch, forcing students to sleep outside - these students were camping out waiting to purchase season hockey tickets. In an attempt to put a halt to this type of scenario MSU ticket offi­ cials decided to initiate a new lot­ tery system to determine who would qualify to purchase the tick­ ets. In the past, the sale of season hockey tickets was just not a very safe situation,” said Dee Strong, MSU athletic ticket manager. “It was an embarrassment to this Uni­ versity. “Last year we had near riots,” she said. “There was a lot of party­ ing going on. A lot of people were becoming ill and there was bottles and trash thrown everywhere after the sale ended.” According to Strong, the hockey ticket lottery was a welcomed an­ swer to a safety problem involved in ticket sales. In 1985 after hockey tickets were sold out, angry students be­ gan banging on windows and shouting obscenities at sales­ people, she said. “Many of the employees who worked last year felt they just couldn’t work under those kind of conditions,” Strong added. Another problem remedied by the lottery was fairness to those students who were unable to camp out for days. Waiting in line for 24 hours is one thing,” Strong said. “But, when you have people camping out for four to five days in tent cities things are getting a little out of hand.” “I’m sure there were some peo­ ple who didn’t think it (the lottery) worked, it was just more fair to people who couldn’t wait in line,” she said. “Most students who wanted tickets got them. “The lottery wasn’t 100 percent effective but it was certainly better than what we had in the past.” While the lottery system might have alleviated some of the safety involved with students camping out in front of Munn Ice Arena, some students were unhappy with the idea. “Instead of the lottery system they should have let the free mar­ ket system decide the price of the tickets,” food systems manage­ ment senior Brad Fogg said. “People who really wanted season hockey tickets would have paid any price for the tickets. The lottery was just a ridiculous way of selling them.” Fogg, who won the lottery, did not purchases his season ticket be­ cause none of his friends who en­ tered the drawing won, he said. “It seemed like mostly freshmen and sophomores won the lottery,” Fogg said. “Most of my friends are seniors and grad students. I wouldn’t have had anyone to go to the games with. Instead, a group of us waited in line and bought sea­ son basketball tickets - and we all got them.” Other students said they felt the lottery system was an improve­ ment. “Any other year I didn’t even try to get hockey tickets because I knew I didn’t have the time to wait in line for days,” said marketing senior Diane Maytum. “I didn’t win the chance to buy season tick­ ets this year but at least I knew there was an outside chance for my number to get drawn.” by Michael Ilich Beca use of the party a tmosphere common during season hockey ticket sales, MSU of­ ficials devised a lot- tery system to sell tickets. Although some students were unhappy, ticket offi­ cials were pleased with its success. Dave Hansen CATCHING SOME OCTOBER RAYS two fans play it cool until they can buy their sea­ son tickets in Munn Ice Arena. STAKING OUT THEIR prime slots in line with sleeping bags, three hockey fans catch up on studies until the doors open for hockey season ticket sales. Dave Hansen The Alumni Chapel, Beaumont Tower and other campus sites each hold a lit­ tle piece of MSU history unknown to most students. Hidden histories “In memory of John P. Hays who enlisted from high school and was killed in WW II. Funds for this memorial were saved by John­ ny to attend Michigan State Col­ lege. " The plaque reminded visitors of the purpose of the small alumni chapel—to honor those that lost their lives in the Armed Forces though not necessarily to the war. The chapel was just one of the buildings that students passed al­ most every day without knowing what the building offered on the in­ side. According to Howard Cum­ mings, director of the chapel, peo­ ple stop by to meditate during the day or stop in for the relaxing soli­ tude. He liked to keep the chapel open at noon particularly for those that work on campus who might stop by during their lunch. The narthex walls of the non- denominational chapel were en­ graved with names of students who had died in wars including the Civ­ il War. Other unusual items were the collection of Bibles in every language and the mounted stones of churches that had been bombed in WW II. However, it was the unusual stained glass windows that made the church’s unique beauty. Unlike the religious themes one finds in other churches, the chapel’s win­ dows told the pictorial story of MSU’s existence from the 1800’s. One depicts the state capitol and Abraham Lincoln signing the Morrill Act which made MSU the first land grant college in the world. Another showed the intro­ duction of the first women to cam­ pus in 1870 who stayed in profes­ sors homes and were required to work four hours in the kitchen while male students worked in the fields. Cummings said visitors have told him that each time they come to the church they find some new meaning in the window’s story. While Episcopal and Men- nonite fellowship use the building weekly, the chapel boasts 180-200 weddings a year and were booked a year in advance. Cummings stressed that services were offered strictly to those that were affiliated with MSU as a student, faculty, or alumni. Engaged couples have come as far as California and Tex­ as to return to be wed on the cam­ pus where the couple had met. In Cummings office hangs a photo of one of their most elaborate wed­ dings which included a horse driv­ en carriage, but he noted that the chapel was geared to be a nice place for students to have small weddings after having the expense of four years of college. Cummings who has earned the Distinguished Staff Award because of his dedica­ tion and work for the chapel jovial- ingly notes that rival U of M doesn’t have one. Although Beaumont Tower was the most popular symbol of MSU, only a minority have been able to go inside the structure. Members of the honor society, Tower Guard not only have their meetings there, but have a room reserved for them and decorated with Tower Guard memorabilia. Inside the entrance, a plaque thanks the donaters John W. Beaumont a graduate of 1882 and his wife. Also, located near the en­ trance was a practice carillon much like the one that operated the bells of Beaumont. According to Tower Guard historian Carol Miller the carillon consisted of rows of handles arranged like a keyboard which allowed them to play Christmas carols on the 47 bells. “If you can play a piano or an organ you can play the bells,” she said. Beaumont’s construction also began related traditions for stu­ dents of Michigan State College. The Wolverine yearbook of 1950 noted traditions including “a girl is not a coed until she’s been kissed beneath Beaumont as it strikes 12” and of Engagement bench nearby reserved specifically for engaged couples. While these traditions haven’t worn Beaumont Tower’s 59 years, the bell and clock haven’t been maintained enough either. One bid for the repair of just the bells was approximately $135,000 and a possible final total of twice that amount. Tower Guard presi­ dent Charles Hoogstraten said the Provost considered the original bid to be too expensive and were wai­ ting for another bid. One possible method they were considering of raising the funds was to contact alumni. A building that has aroused curiosity and rumors of it’s pur­ pose was quietly situated by Wil­ liams Hall. Perhaps the least known building on campus even to the MSU Archives, Wills House was built in 1927 and named in honor of H. Merrill Wills who was the head of the U.S. Weather Bu­ reau on campus during the 1930’s and 1940’s.

Photos by La Vern Pennington An all-night attraction At 3:30 a.m. a pair of footsteps fumbled down the stairs and into Suntana Tanning Center on Grand River Avenue. Ready for one-half hour of sim­ ulated sunshine, the tan-seekers braved winter chills and late ap­ pointment times to get ready for their spring break destinations. Everyone was used to the occasional all-nighter. Study­ ing for an exam or writing a paper could go into all hours of the morn­ ing sometimes. But some people were up all night for different reasons. It was a different kind of all-nighter. The weeks before spring break were busy for local tanning salons, many so remained open all night to accommodate the over­ whelming number of stu­ dents who desired the service. “It wasn’t much fun,” said ac­ counting sophomore Kim Spooner. “We would just throw on sweats and go. It would still be crowded at 3:30 a.m., and you would see people asleep in the waiting room.” “But before spring break it was the only time we could get an ap­ pointment. ” Others were up all night to earn money. Night reception jobs in the residence halls were a midnight to 7:00 a.m. position. “The first part of the night is al­ ways interesting,” said advertising junior Tom Faricy. “It’s easy to stay awake because of all the peo­ ple coming in from bars and par­ ties.” “There’s always something go­ ing on,” he said. “That part of the job is fun, but after about 3:00 a.m. it drags along.” “But, it is usually easy money,” Faricy said. Some people were up just to be up. Dog Pound Coney Island and The Pantree, along with East Lansing 7-Eleven cater­ ed to the late-night crowds. “The Dog Pound is more crowd­ ed at 4:00 in the morning than it is in the evening,” said marketing sophomore Nancy Pulte. “After the bars close it is the only place to go if you have the munchies.” “Dog Pound is the party after the party,” said Kelly Kilkenny, communications sophomore. by Phil Peters OPEN ALL NIGHT, Kinko’s 24 hour copy center, 108 Division St, caters to the late night crowd in need of copying.

It was the day of the big game, U-M vs. MSU, but the rivalry be­ tween the two schools went beyond the playing field. “People at Michigan assume all we do is party on every night of the week,” said John Amato, inte­ rior design junior. “One man at the game told me T bet you’re used to alcoholism. It’s all around you (at MSU).”’ “They assume their school is better in any major,” Amato added. “We’re strong in different areas. Just because they have the medical school and the law school doesn’t mean they’re the best over­ all, but that’s what they think.” Each school placed an empha­ sis on different programs and fields of study. Built as a land-grant college in the 1800s, MSU attracts more in-state students and has the state’s largest agricultural and vet­ erinary schools. Michigan is home to one of the leading medical and law schools in the nation. The academic rivalry lead to stereotypes about both schools. “If there is nothing to do in Ann Arbor, a lot of people go to East Lansing,” said Lindsey Mur­ phy, a senior at U-M. “There’s al­ ways a party going on. What else is there to do? “They’re arrogant,” Amato said. “They have to win and they take their sports and academics too seriously.” For many, the annual U-M - MSU football game was a chance to show who was the best. For the MSU Marching Band, it was the biggest game of the year. “You don’t have to get up for the game,” said David Frayer, ju­ nior band member. “It kind of comes naturally.” The rivalry between the two schools also caused a rivalry in the homes of a few students. Kathy Herrinton, a business sophomore at MSU, had a sister who attended U-M. “We just don’t talk before the big game,” Herrinton said. “I was accepted to both schools and I’m glad I’m at the right place. But she is at the right place for her major too.” “I have two sisters at Michi­ gan,” elementary education and music junior Jenny Whorf said . “I guess I was the only different one in the family.” “It’s hard because when we get together we really rip each oth­ er apart.” she said. “But we’re all at the right schools for our ma­ jors.” At game time the intensity of competition usually reached its peak. “The game was a battlefield and we were the enemy,” said Whorf, who traveled to Ann Arbor for the game. “In the stands we couldn’t defend ourselves. That game means so much to both schools.” “Everyone says they’re so great,” said Frayer. “But we know the truth.” by Phil Peters THE MSU MARCHING band begins to file onto the field during half-time in Ann Arbor.

When spring was in the air, so was love expressed in many ways. Bound for love Struggling to free himself from his boxers chained to the Delta Gamma anchor, the fraternity man finds himself the center of un­ wanted attention on Harrison Rd. “The whole world’s watching,” teasingly chant the Dee Gees as they center their flashlights on their front yard’s anchor and the student trying to remain inconspi­ cuously naked. What could he have done to de­ serve to be anchored by his frater­ nity brothers? He fell in love. Elsewhere on campus, another student didn’t want to be incon­ spicuous when declaring his love for another student. At 3 a.m., public administration junior Steve Ballard constructed his five-story marriage proposal in the lobby windows of each floor in East McDonel Hall. While students heading for morning classes were amused by the “Jane, will you marry me? SKB” message, nursing senior Jane Schabel was overwhelmed when she pulled in the nearby traf­ fic circle. “I couldn’t breathe!,” Schabel said. “He put his initials, SKB, so I knew it was for me.” After 16 months of dating and little discussion of marriage, Bal­ lard decided to surprise Schabel with the proposal. He got the idea from NBC Sportscaster Ahmad Rashad’s marriage proposal to ac­ tress Phylicia Ayers-Allen on live television during a Thanksgiving Day football game. Apparently, the similar strategy worked. Just as Ayers-Allen be­ came a Rashad, Schabel expects to be part of the Ballard family by December, 1988. True to the sayings about love thriving in the springtime, love messages appeared all over cam­ pus from the State News Classi­ fieds to the sidewalk. While many message writers preferred to remain unidentified or used secretive nicknames, business sophomore Patti Sprysak felt com­ fortable chalking love messages to her boyfriend of a year. Sprysak decided to surprise her boyfriend no-preference sophomore Jim Muer with a series of messages outside his Butterfield Hall home. “His friends thought it was cute,” Sprysak said. While most realize falling in love requires a little risk-taking, students found new dimensions to this rule in the springtime. Spray painting a message under the bridge at night may mean love to a student, but to authority it means vandalism. Likewise, one fraternity man found that love could also mean, strangely enough, an indecent ex­ posure ticket. by Lori Tomek CLAD IN HAWAIIAN PRINT shirt, shorts and raincoat and attempting to keep a straight face, the groom in a Brody Complex mock wedding recites wedding vows.

They had been looking for­ ward to this day for weeks. Meanwhile, Tammy Miller and Doug Johnston of Pi Beta Phi and Delta Chi checked to see that the last minute details and prepara­ tions were set. As co-chairs of the event, they had worked months to make it a success. The Campus Clowns, face painters, huggers and volunteers were ready. Special Olympics was about to begin. “Special Olympics IS Greek Week,” said Gamma Phi Beta sophomore Kim Spooner. “It’s something worthwhile and it makes me proud to be a Greek.” The day was a kickoff to Greek Week. In the past, Special Olym­ pics was the last event of the week. “I was a hugger,” said Spooner. “I walked around handing out flowers and told the athletes they were doing a great job. It made me feel so good,” said Spooner. To entertain participants in be­ tween their athletic events, Kelly Brown and Stephanie Kidder orga­ nized the Special Games. “We planned a wet sponge toss, parachute games and face paint­ ing,” said Kidder, a member of Gamma Phi Beta. “Special Olympics was very or­ ganized and well done. It was neat to see these kids having fun. One drew me a picture that I’ve kept in my scrapbook,” said Kidder. “The face painting was ev­ eryone’s favorite. One boy asked to be made-up like Road Warrior,” said Kidder. For Chi Omega member Kelly Kilkenny, passing out awards proved to be a rewarding experi­ ence. “It was so neat because ev­ erybody got an award, whether they were first or last,” said Kil­ kenny. “We made a big deal out of it because they were all winners just for trying. We can really learn from these kids about dedication and determination.” Special Olympics is unique be­ cause it is one of the few Greek events that houses can participate in side by side. Houses received points toward their final Greek Week totals by achieving required levels of partic­ ipation. “Being involved in Special Olympics makes houses inter­ mingle and come together for a common cause,” said Kilkenny. “Greeks prove that they do care about people and not just party­ ing,” said Spooner. “I left Special Olympics feeling I had actually done something.” by Phil Peters.

La Vern Pennington PRIOR TO RECEIVING their diploma facsi­ miles, graduates were offered congratula­ tions and a handshake from the dean of their school. FOR SOME, the goodbyes with friends after graduation were final goodbyes, as gradu­ ates were launched into the real world. THE CONTROVERSY OVER alcoholic beverages had subsided by June. Graduates popped their champagne corks freely during the ceremony and celebrated after. Launch into life Outside the skies were clear, the sun was shining and tempera­ tures soared into the 90s. Inside, parents and guests sat with comfort in air conditioned surroundings. But, even air conditioning could not cool down the enthusi­ asm of the approximately 5,000 spring term graduates. Commencement ceremonies, which took place on June 12 and 13, were held in various locations throughout campus. In years past graduates took with them many memories of com­ mencement such as decentraliza­ tion of ceremonies and the debate over popping champagne corks. What will 1987 graduates re­ member about their commence­ ment? “It was so hot,” said market­ ing graduate Diane Maytum.” I was walking to the business com­ mencement (held in the MSU Au­ ditorium) with my family and we were just sweating to death. I couldn’t believe how hot it was.” Inside the Auditorium the sit­ uation was not much better, May­ tum added. “The business school is so big, and there were so many people that it was warm,” she continued.” If there was air conditioning in that place I didn’t feel it.” Some graduates equated the sunny skies and warm weather with their job outlook. “I’m forecasting the same kind of situation for landing a job,” said journalism graduate Michael Ilich.” It looks bright, but I’m go­ ing to have to sweat through the search for a job and hopefully I’ll find something.” Ilich, who had not found a job at the time of commencement, said he was not very worried because “there are jobs out there.” “You just have to hunt for them,” he said. Other graduates were happy to have already found employ­ ment. “It takes a load of worry off of my mind to know that there is job out there waiting for me,” said mechanical engineering graduate Pat Carter, who had accepted a job in Idaho with Westinghouse prior to graduation.” I didn’t want to spend the summer pounding the pavement and looking for a job. This works out well. I’ll have a short break and then go to work. Carter had begun interview­ ing with different companies across the country early in the year. “I just wanted to have a job by the time commencement came around,” he said. Other graduates not eager to enter the job force had different post-commencement plans. Communications graduate Jean Zaren was packing her bags and heading east for a summer job teaching photography to young people in Maine. “I’ve been going to school for a long time, so I deserve a break and some relaxation,” Zaren said.” I like working with kids - and it’s not like I’m going to be un­ employed.” Vacation plans were on the minds of many students as they crossed the stage and received makeshift diplomas. continued Mid-June heat and the popping of champagne corks marked an end to a college career for spring term graduates.

Although many graduates had waited anxiously through their fi­ nal term at MSU and were eager to find that perfect high-paying job, some felt sad to be leaving. “I’ve had a lot of fun here at Michigan State, and it’s going to seem strange not coming back in the fall,” Moses said.” What’s probably going to happen is I’ll be making road trips to East Lansing so that I can visit friends. I’ll al­ ways love this place.” by Janis Matheson “THE ROCK” provides the setting for final photographs among friends after the cere­ mony for the college of Social Science.

SPRING GRADUATES FACED the end of their undergraduate careers and the start of a new phase of life at commencement. Photos by Jean Zaren Statements NEWS MAGAZINE COVER STORY A Campus Cries Out Assaults in East Lansing and on campus create fright. Fear lingered in the air at MSU and the surrounding community. Frightened women, afraid of being at­ tacked, walked in pairs after sundown. Between December 1986 and March 1987, three rapes and eight assaults were re­ ported within the vicinity of MSU. In February, the FBI released its annual crime report which listed MSU as first in the nation in terms of serious crimes committed on campus. However, MSU Department of Public Safety Capt. Andrew McEntee maintained that crime was on the decrease and the Uni­ versity was not experiencing a crime wave. “If you look at the statistics, crime is ac­ tually down three percent on the campus,” McEntee said. While DPS officials maintained that they were doing everything possible to appre­ hend the attackers, members of MSU’s Na­ tional Organization of Women claimed that DPS was downplaying the serious of the situ­ ation. According to Nancy Gilbert, a spokes­ person for NOW, the University was attemp­ ted to cover up the sexual assault problem to prevent tarnishing the school’s image during the time when most high school seniors were choosing colleges. “Administrator’s are more worried about continued IN A RALLY TO reclaim the night and make MSU’s campus safe again, over 200 students and faculty including sophomore Molly Kettler held a candlelight vigil at Beaumont Tower. At the same time in an apartment complex nearby, an MSU coed was bound and raped. LaVern Pennington COVER STORY A Campus Cries Out Wave of assaults prompts action; students face serial rapists. bad press for the Univer­ sity. They don’t realize the seriousness of the problem. “The Lansing State Journal quoted a DPS offi­ cial as saying he felt safer walking on MSU’s campus in shorts, than in down­ town Grand Rapids or De­ troit,” Gilbert added. “Well, of course he feels safe. All of the victims have been women.” Although DPS would only say that the attacks were committed by more than one person, students were warned of various techniques employed by the attackers. One attacker was la­ beled the “laundry room rapist,” by students. His usual method included stalking women in apart­ ment complex laundry rooms, tying up, raping and photographing them. Other reported attacks took place as women were walking alone at night and accosted by men in motor vehicles, jumping out of bushes and wandering through residence halls. According to McEntee, local police agencies had spent $30,000 increasing manpower in an attempt to apprehend suspects in the assaults. On campus, DPS in­ creased the number of pa­ trol cars routinely policing the campus, added foot patrols with canine units and stationed decoys throughout the area. In addition, residence halls, student governing groups and self defense in­ structors staged education­ al forums to teach women how to avoid being a vic­ tim. Gilbert, however, said that she felt that the Uni­ versity could have done more more to make the campus safe. “MSU has only spent $11,000 to try to ensure safety,” she said. “That equals about 25 cents per student.” To increase awareness among students and the community concerning sexual assault, NOW members sponsored a can­ dle light vigil. More than 200 students, faculty and community residents marched from the Union to Beaumont Tower carrying lighted candles and chanting “No means no. We have a right to walk safely on this cam­ pus.” “Education is the most important thing in putting an end to rape,” Gilbert said. “We need to dispell the myth that women are asking to be raped.” “The State News and DPS seem to blame the victim,” she added. “By reporting that the alleged victim waited two to three hours before reporting the attack minimizes the seri­ ousness of the crime.” by Janis Matheson and Mi­ chael Ilich FBI FIGURES placed MSU first in the nation in crime statistics, up from sec­ ond in 1985. The FBI report was re­ leased during the campus-wide alert to the rash of sexual assaults and rapes during the winter months. Department of Public Safety officials maintained that the FBI figures were misleading, and MSU remained a safe campus. Campus Crime The top four universities plagued by crime.

The fall term Cedarfest took place on October 25 and when all was said and done there was a total of 35 arrests and 29 injuries while 5000 people showed up at the Cedar Village Apartments complex. The East Lansing police De­ partment estimated that the damages at the party totalled around $11,000 and over 200 citations were issued. Most of the damages were done to the apart­ ments themselves when people began throwing bottles, rocks, and cans through the windows. The falling glass caused their share of injuries. Many bikes were smashed, fences were torn down, and lampposts were knocked over. A group of people managed to tip over a car as well. Following the Cedarfest, the worst Cedarfest of all according to MSU Presi­ dent John DiBiaggio, an East Lansing resident de­ cided enough was enough. Nancy Vogl presented a petition with over 1500 signatures to the East Lansing City Council. That is when Czarnecki formed the committee. Its main purpose was to offer solutions to the party’s vio­ lence and destruction. Among solutions they’ve considered are a police line, arresting anyone that tries to cross it, and a cur­ few. The committee has come to the conclusion that the party must be stopped all-together. Others on the committee has expressed a proposal that all party stores in the area refrain from selling alcohol the night of the party. MSU has decided to take some action as well. A list of MSU students arrested or involved with Cedarfest was given to Moses Turner, Vice-Presi­ dent for Student Affairs and Services. A reassess­ ment of student disciplin­ ary policies was asked of Turner by DiBiaggio in hopes of discouraging par­ ticipation of Cedarfest in the future. CAMPUS Coed Murdered Brutal Murder shocks community. Michigan State Univer­ sity student Sandy Clark was murdered on or around July 29, 1986, while she attended sum­ mer term classes at MSU. Police were notified first of her disappearance when her co-workers called say­ ing she had not shown up at work that night, saying she had never even been late let alone not showing up. The story made the evening news when Clark’s car was found abandoned and with blood stains on the back seat. Later, blood was found on a dumpster. The naked body of Clark was found at a land­ fill after tracing the dumpster to it. On August 4, 1986, MSU student Darricell Henry was arrested for the murder of Sandy Clark. The Department of Public Safety cited “physical evi­ dence” as grounds for the arrest. “We knew he (Henry) was the person she (Clark) was supposed to see [the night of the murder] so he was a suspect all along,” said Lt. William Wardwell of DPS. A search warrant was Statements STATE BRIEFS SEPTEMBER-Five deaths, three missing persons, 89 injuries and $400 million in damage were the re­ sult of heavy rains that flooded central Michigan last fall. It was estimated that nearly $289 million of that damage was suffered by farmers who lost what would have been record harvests. Up to 20 inches of rain fell in parts of Michigan for 25 con­ secutive days during September and October. NOVEMBER — State Democrats swept House elections on the coattails of incumbent Gov. James Blanchard. However, Blanchard’s landslide victory over the state’s first black gubernatorial candidate, Republican William Lucas, failed to oust GOP con­ trol of the Senate. They maintained their 20-18 edge. DECEMBER — Medicaid recipients and providers were left in a lurch as the state legislature haggled over the abortion issue. Gov. Blanchard vetoed the Medicaid budget in June because it didn’t allocate funds for abortion. Between November 15 when Medicaid funding ran out and December 12 when the legislature in emergency session reached a com­ promise, health care for 900,000 of the state’s poor hinged on this debate.

An ordinance that gran­ ted temporary asylum to El Salvadorean refugees was not standard fare for most city codes. For East Lansing’s it was. Issues such as gay rights, apartheid and smoking have mingled with the more typical questions of rezoning, city maintenance and taxation on the City Council’s agendas. East Lansing Mayor John Czarnecki said that these issues aren’t out of place. “It gives citizens an op­ portunity to participate,” Czarnecki said in the Feb. 1, 1987 Lansing State Journal. “It’s very difficult for them to go to Wash­ ington, but they can come to a public hearing in East Lansing.” Czarnecki, elected to the council in 1975, said that it was important to take a stand on issues. Although the results may only be symbolic the message it sends to the nation’s lead­ ers is a strong one. Some touchy issues that the council dealt with in the past two decades in­ clude: -Minority Housing. In 1967 East Lansing became one of the first communi­ ties to forbid housing dis­ crimination on the basis of race, color or national ori­ gin. -Gay rights were written into the city’s civil rights ordinance in 1978. The code outlawed discrimina­ tion in employment, hous­ ing or public accommoda­ tions because of a person’s sexual orientation. -The council also fought apartheid in 1978, with a resolution banning the city from doing business with South African corpora­ tions. -Public smoking came un­ ISSUES AFFECTED nearly every resident of East Lansing and Michi­ gan State. A new ban on smoking in public places, the Oaks Condom­ iniums and a new hotel/shopping complex were all at issue in 1987. der fire in 1985. An ordi­ nance declared it a nui­ sance and forbid smoking in public areas unless oth­ erwise designated. A $50 civil infraction could be given to offenders. However, none of those issues sparked the debate that a 1977 proposal for a local shopping mall did. Czarnecki said that the Dayton Hudson Corp.’s proposal for a bi-level 100 store mall was more con­ troversial than anything that had been considered in his 12 years with the council. According to January and February 1978 State News articles the project was to be called “The Ce­ dars” and would have cost $16 million. Proponents of the mall claimed that it would cre­ ate thousands of tax dol­ lars and jobs. While oppo­ nents, which included MSU PIRGIM and a citi­ zen’s group headed by an MSU professor, claimed that the mall would con­ taminate groundwater, in­ crease traffic and depress existing businesses. Czarnecki said that the issue divided the communi­ ty. Many residents felt that MSU students were against the plan and there was even a movement to de-annex the university from the city, he said. “We know a lot of peo­ ple who are disgusted with the kids who rule what happens around here,” one local resident said at the time. The proposal was de­ feated in a referendum in late 1978. This contrasts with the lack of student concern over University Place, the hotel and retail complex slated for a site on M.A.C. Ave. “The only clash we have with students now is over lifestyles and parties,” Czarnecki said. Parties, specifically, have been a bone of con­ tention between the city and students this year. In an effort to lower the de- cible level, the City Coun­ cil unanimously approved a new noise ordinance in November. The ordinance stated that parties, shouting, ster­ eos and other loud noises would be outlawed be­ tween 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Offenders could be ticketed for every half hour in violation of the or­ dinance. The first two times cited, violators were given a $75 civil infrac­ tion. For any further of­ fenses, they received a $100 misdemeanor charge that appeared on their per­ manent records. A specific party was the subject of controversy be­ tween MSU students and the East Lansing City Council as well. Shortly after the bi-annual bash on October 25, the Cedar Fest Task Force was form­ ed. The 28-person group, which had some student members, was charged with finding ways to curb or ideally, to stop Cedar Fest. Proposals included; a police line around the Ce­ dar Village apartments, a curfew for minors, eviction for tenants involved with the party and disciplinary action against MSU stu­ dents participating in the party by the university. A decision was to be an­ nounced in mid-March. by Patricia Hamilton EAST LANSING Condo Controversy The mild winter of 1986-87 accelerated TPM International’s construc­ tion of the controversial $7.4 million Oaks condo­ minium project. Although plans were ap­ proved after much deliber­ ation in May, 1986, con­ struction on the 111-unit complex, geared toward student housing, did not begin until early fall of that year. The condominiums, planned for completion in fall, 1987, had a rocky start in spring, 1986 due to opposition from area residents and the East Lansing City Council. De­ bate centered over the issues of sewage and water in relation to the flood plane and existing systems. The project was ap­ proved by the city council under 12 conditions, which included property upkeep and trash disposal, raising the level of the entrance to the complex for emergency access during flood pe­ riods, and raising the level of land on which the building is built to avoid any flooding problems.

Caught in the explosion of AIDS paranoia it seems many are at least heeding the national warning - practice safe sex. The seriousness of the disease prompted Surgeon General C. Everett Koop to issue a warning of “condom sense.” “A condom should be used during sexual rela­ tions, from start to finish, with anyone you know or suspect is infected,” Koop said during a national news conference to pro­ mote the publication of his report on AIDS. “Couples who engage in free-wheel­ ing casual sex are playing a dangerous game.” A flood of media atten­ tion spawned by the alar­ ming spread of acquired immune deficiency syn­ drome, a fatal disease which cripples the body’s immune system, sent the nation into a frenzy and hit home in East Lansing. As of April 1987, the Centers for Disease Con­ trol in Atlanta had record­ ed 33,997 cases of AIDS in the United States - 19,658 had died. Concern also mounted over the spread of AIDS into the heterosexual popu­ lation. While no cases of the disease had been reported at MSU, cases had been confirmed in Ingham County. Michigan ranked 19 in the nation in terms of the number of AIDS cases reported. AIDS awareness was on the upswing. The sexual revolution had come to a screeching halt; students were thinking twice about one-night stands. “I don’t know if I’m be­ ing overly paranoid, but this AIDS thing really scares me,” one female student said. “I won’t ever have sex with a man who refuses to wear a con­ dom.” For the first time, Olin Health Center followed a national trend and launched an AIDS educa- EMPLOYMENT No Corporate Highs Marijuana.

If you’re thinking about doing these drugs and you want a job, you might want to think again. “(Companies have been) testing for many years,” said Sarah Fryer, Assis­ tant Director at Placement Services. “But there’s been a rapid increase over the last two years.” Fryer said that of a sample of 761 employers who have interviewed at Placement Services, about 20 percent screen for drugs now. Ten percent more are expected to begin screening within the next year, and an additional 10 percent will begin the year after that. In total, that’s an estimated 40 percent that will be testing for drug usage within the next two years. “There is a heightened awareness,” said Fryer of employee drug usage. If a prospective employee tests positive for usage of “recreational drugs,” he will not be hired by the company. Current em­ ployees with positive test results are encouraged to undergo drug counselling. Employers are con­ cerned about the condi­ tions of the work place, and the economy of their corporations. “If there isn’t safety (in the workplace), it could cost the employer money in terms of insurance and lia­ bility,” Fryer said. The whole issue sur­ rounding the increased drug testing raises a lot of questions. Is drug testing a safety measure for corpo­ rations, which ultimately benefits the workers? Or is it a matter of invasion of privacy for employees? “It’s a real Catch-22 — whose rights will receive priority?” said Fryer, “The question hasn’t been answered . . .

Officials were concerned about AIDS statistics in Florida, where about 250,000 students from around the U.S. spend their spring vacations each year. According to a Feb. 23 Detroit Free Press article, it was estimated that one in 30 men, and one in 75 women in Florida carry the AIDS virus.

Approximately 100 peo­ ple gathered for a rally in front of the Administra­ tion Building on October 31. But the event, planned to demonstrate difficulty handicappers encounter on steep ramps, was nearly canceled due to construc­ tion . “After the rally we took a group of non-handicap- per students in wheelchairs to try the Baker Hall ramp,” said Angel Caro, Co-director of the MSU Handicapper Council. “But when we got there the ramp was covered with wet cement. “A construction worker told us the ramp had cracked because of the temperature,” Caro contin­ ued. “That’s not true be­ cause it was 44 degrees — and had been for a few days.” Caro said a full-page advertisement in The State News asking people to try the ramp probably had something to do with the new cement. “I am positive (the Uni­ versity) didn’t want us to show people how hard the ramp is to use,” Caro said. “We did try it though; non-handicappers lifted the chairs over the wet ce­ ment.” According to Caro the rally and State News ar­ ticles boosted campus awareness of barrier prob­ lems handicapped students face. “The University has ap­ proved construction of 105 ramps, and has made the Natural Science Building and the Kresge Art Center accessible,” Caro said.

ENTERTAINMENT Moving to a Reggae Beat bop(harvey) members balance school books and instruments. and I’ve missed them be­ cause of traveling.” The band is based in East Lansing and all mem­ bers, except new guitarist Joe Sadler, attended MSU. The group met at MSU and first played in 1984 at Rick’s. “Rick’s gave the band it’s first break and it is my favorite place to play in Michigan,” said Sly. Although Michigan is not considered a prime area for reggae, the group has drawn wide acclaim. Their album, Nation from Nation, has received raved reviews from The State News, Houston Chronicle, Detroit Free Press, Lan­ sing State Journal and publications such as Rock Express. They are featured on playlists from such far away cities as New Or­ leans and Toronto. Howev­ er, their appeal seems to be greatest in their home town, East Lansing. “It’s not hard to see why bop (harvey) is so popular,” said English ed­ ucation sophmore Lynn Lis. “They are very inno­ vative and fun to watch. They are great and unlike some bands, they don’t in­ sult my intelligence.” College students are the major audience of bop (harvey). “I’d say that in all the places we play in the U.S., students are more into what we play and they are the ones who understand us the best,” said brass player Miles Davis. “Students are very re­ sponsive because we play fun music. They are also more willing to accept something new.” The group identified closely with MSU both through school and student activities. They have played at the spring con­ certs for two years and have opened for groups at the auditorium and partic­ ipated in an anti-apartheid concert sponsored by SALC during spring term 1986. Bassist and graphics se­ nior Dan Stechow was part of MSU not only as a student but also as a teaching assistant for com­ puter graphics at Kresge Art Center. “I’m hoping to incorpo­ rate graphic arts with my work in the band,” said Stechow. “I’ve designed a lot of the posters and art­ work we use. I’ve always thought combining art with technology was the greatest thing.” Both Stechow and Sly said getting their degree in June will be worth the ef­ fort. “When I started the band I was a junior,” said Sly. “It has taken me six years to finish and it’s hard with us still being in school for the band, but now that I’m so close I just want to graduate.” “I’m glad I’m finishing, but if it wasn’t worth it I wouldn’t have done it,” said Stechow. “In years to come when I think of MSU I’ll think of the band and vice versa.” by Kim Alexander Being in a band and a college student isn’t always easy, but for the members of bop (harvey) it was worth it. The seven member group is one of East Lan­ sing’s most popular bands. Their reggae music has been a main attraction at Rick’s American Cafe, 224 Abbott, since 1984 and they have opened for groups such as UB40, Burning Spear, Blue Rid- dim, Yellowman, Black Uhuru and Violent Femmes. In addition to playing in East Lansing the band has traveled throughout Michi­ gan and the U.S. They have also played in Can­ ada. All this traveling could take a toll on the grades of the two band members still enrolled at MSU. “We miss about a week every term,” said Physics senior Randy Sly. “We travel mostly on weekends but sometimes we leave on Thursday or Friday.

Mark Eiffert NIGHT LIFE Fishing for Fun Students pledge allegiance to the Marlin at the Cup. What is the most popu­ lar fish in East Lansing? Over 4,000 people said the blue marlin and as mem­ bers of America’s Cup Blue Marlin Club, they had good reasons. This fish has occupied the heart and minds of many students since Sep­ tember 1985. It is symbol­ ic of the good times and good bargains that could be had at America’s Cup, 220 MAC. “Although most of the people who join the club are MSU students, we have people from almost every state and from dif­ ferent parts of the world join too,” said Anne Dil­ lon, manager and master of club initiation rites at America’s Cup. “People come in specifically to join and there are times when the whole bar joins at once. It’s funny because when that happens all the seats are empty, but you know the tables are taken because everyone is on their knees.” In order to join this club people had to get on their knees and repeat an oath in a very loud voice. This initiation was done one to three times a night depen­ ding on the amount of people who want to join, said Dillon. Once they have completed taking their oaths, new members received Blue Marlin Club cards, which enabled them to get a discount on drinks and the infamous blue marlin stirrer in each drink they ordered. Other benefits included a news letter called the Blues News and drink specials every day of the week. The bar also sold shirts, hats and sunglasses with the logo on them and has a Blue Marlin bulletin board for pictures of club mem­ bers. “I joined on a whim about a year ago,” said communications senior Christine Hollow. “I was with some friends and when they announced they were going to start the ini­ tiation we didn’t know what to do. It was kind of embarrassing because you had to kneel and scream the oath as loud as you could.” Discount drinks were a big motivation for joining the club. “The. best time to go is on Tuesday nights, the of­ ficial Blue Marlin pary night, because they have five drink specials instead of one,” Hollow said. “It’s fun being in the Blue Marlin Club and the drink specials make it even bet­ ter.” by Kim Alexander AFTER SHOUTING THE oath of the Blue Marlin, newly inducted members celebrate with a ceremoni­ al drink at America's Cup.

Jean Zaren Televangelist falls from Grace NATION PTL’s Jim Bakker defrocked in sex and money scandal. Battle for control of ministry begins Sex, blackmail and big money. All the elements of a nice juicy made-for-tv- movie, unfortunately for some tv evangelists it was real-life. On May 6, television evangelist Rev. Jim Bakker was defrocked by officials of the Assemblies of God, the Pentecostal denomination of which he was a minister. Bakker was charged with sexual misconduct and bi­ sexual activities. He had stepped down as chairman and president of the PTL (Praise the Lord) ministry on March 19 after admitting that he had com­ mitted adultery in 1980 with a 21-year-old church secretary. The secretary, Jessica Hahn, who worked for the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Massapeque, NY., said that Bakker took advantage of her trust and pressured her into having sex with him. In 1985 she had a civil complaint drafted and sent to PTL. Officials there agreed to pay Hahn $115,000 imme­ diately, to stop her from go­ ing to the media and set up a $150,000 trust fund that she could collect in 20 years if she kept silent. However, Bakker said that his adultery was not the reason he resigned. He re­ signed in order to stop the “diabolical plot” of a rival evangelist to take over the PTL empire. The Assemblies of God said that a “moral failure” not a plot was the source of Bakker’s fall from grace. Another Assemblies of God minister, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, had passed along rumors of Bakker’s activities to church authorities. Bakker’s ex­ ploits were, he said, “a can­ cer that needed to be excised from the body of Christ.” Another evangelist Oral Roberts came down from his Tulsa, Okla., prayer tower long enough to chide Swaggart for his tattling and side with Bakker in what came to be known in the national media as a “holy war.” Meanwhile, Fundamen­ talist tv minister Jerry Fal­ well was asked to take over as the chair of the PTL em­ pire in mid-March. PTL grosses over $129 million annually. Its holdings in­ clude not only a 2,500 seat church but also a cable tv network and a biblical theme park. As the investigation con­ tinued, Bakker was said to have been involved with a number of prostitutes and homosexuals over the past nine years. There were also allegations of financial and sexual corruption among top PTL officials. The PTL ministry filed for bankruptcy on June 11,. The ministry owes over $60 million to various creditors. by Patty Hamilton Jeff Koepele NATION Reporter held as spy Soviets retaliate with Daniloff arrest On August 30, 1986, U.S. News & World Report joun- ralist Nicholas Daniloff was arrested on espionage charges in Moscow. Apparently, Daniloffs ar­ rest was in retaliation for the U.S. arrest of Soviet physicist Gennadi Zakharov a week earlier on the same charges. Thirty days later on Sep­ tember 30, Daniloff, 51, was freed and reunited with his wife and two children. As he emerged from the airliner that brought him back to the U.S., Daniloff, smiling, raised above his head a t-shirt that read “Freed Nicholas Daniloff!!!” The reunion was negotia- ged in an agreement between the United States and the So­ viet Union which was spear­ headed by President Reagan. The agreement specified that Daniloff be released by the Soviet Union, and that the United States release Zakha- row. Zakharov pleaded guilty to all counts of espionage, in ac­ cordance with the agreement and received a five-year sus­ pended sentence. Soviet offi­ cials escorted Zakharov out of the country immediately following his sentencing. Russia also had to allow Soviet human rights leader Yuri Orlov, 62, and his wife to emigate to the United States. The release ended threats to call off plans for a second Reagan-Gorbachev summit meeting. Daniloff thanked President Reagan for his efforts and said, “I feel I have been vindicated.” La Vern Pennington VICE-PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH addresses Lansing’s annual Lincoln Day luncheon in February. INTERNATIONAL Embassy Espionage Marines charged with aiding KGB in Moscow embassy sex scandal It was not a banner year for the U.S. Marine Corps. The upright, starched image of the Marine was badly shaken, not once, but twice this year. First, by the in­ volvement of a Marine colo­ nel, Oliver North, in the Iran-Contra Affair and then by the involvement of Ma­ rine guards at U.S. embas­ sies in a “sex-for-secrets” scandal with the Soviets. Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, 25, and Cpl. Arnold Bracy, 21, were the first Marines to be arrested in the scandal. The two were charged with espionage and court martial proceedings were begun in late-February. What was uncovered during these pro­ ceedings read like the plot of a spy-thriller novel. Lonetree had been a guard at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow since September 1984. Soon after, he alleg­ edly became romantically involved with a Soviet trans­ lator employed by the Em­ bassy and soon began work­ ing with the KGB. Lonetree was accused of having handed over the names of U.S. spies operat­ ing in Moscow, as well as floor plans of the U.S. Em­ bassies in Moscow and Vi­ enna. Bracy, who worked the late patrol shift with Lone­ tree during 1985 and 1986 was allegedly involved to a lesser extent. He was said to have acted as a lookout, while Lonetree escorted KGB operatives through the embassy, and was reported to have silenced alarms in top secret areas. Bracy was found innocent and released from custody at the Marine base in Quan­ tico, Va., where the court martial proceedings were being held, on June 11 after he recanted his confession that he had collaborated with the Russians. Because of the alleged ac­ tions of the Marines and be­ cause of extensive bugging that was discovered in the Embassy, the business of di­ plomacy took a rather ridic­ ulous turn. While top-level arms-control talks between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevard­ nadze went on aboard a spe­ cially built Winnebago, in­ ter-embassy communica­ tions were conducted via Magic Slates. Extensive bugging was also discovered in the New U.S. Embassy complex that was being built in Moscow. An April 20, Newsweek article reported that the multi-million dollar com­ plex, which has been under construction since 1979, was honeycombed with So­ viet listening devices and may have to be torn down. The structure was prefab­ ricated by a local Soviet contractor, as per as 1972 U.S.-Soviet treaty.

Humes speculated that Bush indeed would encounter political difficul­ ties. “He’s not as charis­ matic and will have a hard time untying himself from the affair.” As a result of the inves­ tigations of the incident, Reagan revamped his staff with impressive members such as Former Senator Howard Baker as the new chief of staff, Frank Car­ lucci as national security adviser, and William Web­ ster as director of the CIA. Reassuring the pub­ lic of new policy objectives and review of the terrorist policy as the result of the “mistake” reinforced the live and learn theme of his speech with the hopes that Americans would believe this as well. “IT WAS A MIS­ TAKE” was the prominent headline on papers nation­ wide March 5, 1987, the day after President Ronald Reagan’s speech about the Iran-Contra scandal which usually made the front page daily from its discov­ ery three months earlier. While Reagan remained distant about the topic, newpapers provided con­ tinuous updates with each discovery including the resignation of chief of staff Don Regan and the at­ tempted suicide of security adviser Robert MacFar­ lane. Lt.Col. Oliver North and former security advis­ er John Poindexter refused to provide information re­ garding the scandal, but Reagan chose to break his silence at the conclusion of the Tower commission in­ vestigation. “A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages,” Reagan said. “My heart and best intentions still tell me that is true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.” Among the topics cov­ ered in his apologetic speech, Reagan assumed responsibility for the ac-_ tions of his staff and cited lack of record-taking and inability to find trans­ ferred funds as factors that complicated the dis­ covery of the scandal de­ tails. Political science pro­ fessor Brian Humes said, “Reagan’s speech helped the general populus. They are going to say ‘Isn’t that nice’ and ‘Well, Reagan stood up like a man’.” While Reagan said that he wanted to take his “knocks” and move on, the events of the scandal af­ fected both his and vice- president George Bush’s political power. At the time of the scandal eight American and over 23 others of different nation­ alities were being held hos­ tage in Lebanon.

They would gather to watch MSU hockey and football games together. “We always go to the Great Lakes Hockey Tour­ nament at Joe Louis Are­ na in Detroit,” Anita said. “We hangout (at the are­ na) and buy tickets from scalpers.” “Before I came to MSU, I kind of thought everyone was just like me, now I realize how lucky I am,” Anita said. “I didn’t know how many people dislike their brothers and sisters or were afraid to talk to their parents.” “Sometimes I really feel like a Walton,” she said. by Janis Matheson MOVIES Box Office Biggies “How about dinner and a movie?” For the Spartan moviegoer, the possibilities were endless and conve­ nient with six added screens at the Meridian Mall in Okemos. American Media Corpo­ ration, the first national theater chain to sponsor a multi-screen movie theater, expanded Meridian Mali’s eight-screen theater to 14 screens. As an increasing profit opportunity and an ex­ panded entertainment spot, the move responded to the growing multiple screen trend. But what kind of profits did this type of movie house pull? Daily Variety reported a 22-week total of $154.1 million for “Top Gun,” the most successful film of 1986, a number that grew to an advertised $175 million. “Top Gun’s” successes were more than monetary ones, however. In addition to spurning the trend in leather flight jackets and Dobbs-style sunglasses, “Top Gun” earned three Academy Award nomina­ tions. It also produced a top-40 soundtrack with Berlin’s hit, “Take My Breath Away.” Eddie Murphy’s come­ dy, “The Golden Child,” bragged a $52.2 million profit within its first 24 days of release, and rank­ ed number one on 272 screens at the end of De­ cember 1986. Other big hits of the year included Woody Al­ len’s “Hannah and Her Sisters” with Mia Farrow, Diane Wiest, Barbara Hershey, and Michael Caine, and “A Room With a View,” nominated for eight Academy Awards. “Aliens,” starring Si­ gourney Weaver in a thril­ ler sequel to “Alien,” was a popular smash, as was the more serious “Children of a Lesser God,” with William Hurt and Marlee Matlin. “Stand By Me,” directed by Rob Reiner, produced a nostalgic soundtrack and box office success. Oliver Stone’s thought­ provoking “Platoon” was predicted to be 1987’s most successful box office smash. Nominated for sev­ en Academy Awards, “Platoon” boasted a $3.62 million gross in 17 days, with an average of $8011 per theater daily. by Elizabeth Krebs AMERICAN MULTI CINEMA’S new screens at Meridian Mall pro­ vided MSU with a greater selection of movies.

Rubin and Citicow stampede across chests. “Cows are udderly cool.” Two national novelty companies were cashing in on the cow market at MSU, more commonly known as “Moo U.” Holy Cow and the Ud­ derly Cool Company kept Logos Bookstore on Grand River Avenue stocked with the latest trendy cow ac­ cessories, which sold for $13.25. Carol Miller, owner of Logos became interested in cow novelties after attend­ ing a Los Angeles gift show in 1985. “I went to this confer­ ence and off in a corner I saw a group of college girls all wearing these cow T-shirts,” Miller said. “I knew they would sell well in East Lansing. Not be­ cause of ‘Moo U,’ but be­ cause MSU is an agricul­ tural school.” Miller kept the book­ store stocked with a color­ ful array of original de­ signs. Cow designer Woody Jackson was inspired for his creations by living in the backwoods of Ver­ mont. “He has several differ­ ent designs,” Miller said. “Each T-shirt has a differ­ ent name. One is called ‘Rubin’s Cow,’ named af­ ter Jackson’s Labrador Retriever. Evidently, (the dog) liked that cow.” Another popular cow silkscreen was the “Citicow.” Miller described the shirt as the agrarian soci­ ety vs. the metropolitan life. Aside from T-shirts, Logos also sold cow-prin­ ted bandanas, tote bags, post cards and coffee mugs. “People think it’s funny seeing something as com­ mon as a cow on a T- shirt,” Miller said. “I don’t know if this is going to be a consistent trend. It might be a rage of the mo­ ment or it might contin­ ue.” by Janis Matheson and Michael Ilich THE PROPER ATTIRE for the na­ tion’s first land-grant college, Cow shirts provided a happy change of pace from the usual silk screened t- shirt for freshman Liz Krebs.

Brightly-col­ ored rear window signs cautioned motorists that vehicles were carry­ ing everything from “Spartans on board,” to “Mother-in-law in trunk.” The messages began with the slogan “Baby on board,” but the trend branched out to everything else re­ flecting the personality of the driver. Plus Signs In terms of academics, MSU was a “top gun” University. English professor Jim Cash took Holly­ wood - and the nation - by storm with multi­ million dollar-grossing films, “Top Gun” and “Legal Eagles.” On the local scene, the University recog­ nized six faculty members from a field of over 3,000 as Distinguished Staff. This years recipi­ ents were: animal science research technician Larry Chapin, Carcinogenesis Laboratory re­ search technician Suzanne Kately-Kohler, biomechanics research assistant Vance Kin­ caid, chemistry mechanical electronics techni­ cian Scott Sanderson, Intercollegiate Athletics administrative assistant Sylvia Thompson and Livestock Pavilion manager Marshall Wil­ liams. Veterinary medicine garnered national recognition as one of the premiere programs in the country. The 125-acre research facility was a forerunner in the field of animal care and stu­ dent training. TALKING COMPUTERS AIDED blind students like Patricia McMillin in obtain-ing her education. Although the University was under fire for I being 80 percent handicapper inaccessible, MSU broke down academic barriers by provid­ ing talking computers and books and the world’s largest voice library. With over 200 undergraduate programs and 75 departments students were offered a 100 percent, top notch education. La Vern Pennington BEFORE BRANDING, sophomore Rob Chap­ man tosses a just sheared Iamb out of the pen. Chapman, who grew up on a farm, came to MSU for its animal science programs. Patrick O'Brien Top gun prof turns BOX OFFICE SMASH Although he doesn’t mow his lawn anymore, Jim Cash has re­ mained down to earth and devoted to East Lansing and MSU, in spite of his recent success as co-writer of blockbuster movies such as Top Gun and Legal Eagles. Cash has been at MSU since the early 60’s when he was a student here. Although he dropped out a few times to go to Los Angeles or New York to write, he finally graduated in 1970 with a B.A. in English. He then went on to get a masters in Telecommunication and was working on his Ph.D - which he didn’t finish - when he sold his first screenplay in 1978. “We spent two years writing that screenplay and even though noth­ ing really came of it, it served as a showpiece that our agent could show to the studio, something to let people know who we were,” Cash said. Cash and his partner, Jack Epps Jr., became partners two years pri­ or, in 1976 although they met years before when Epps took Cash’s creative writing course. Ac­ cording to Cash, the pair sat down for an hour in the Union Grill over a bowl of Chili. “We wrote 10 ideas on paper napkins and two of them turned out to be our first two screenplays,” said Cash. Even though the first two screenplays, and the three follow­ ing them were never made into movies, Cash said the people in the movie business knew about Epps and himself long before the public did. “Once a script is sold, it circu­ lates and passes between studios. They always want to know who the new talent is. Actors like Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson would call or send messages saying that they had read our latest script and thought it was good or whatever,” said Cash. Now however, the whole coun­ try knows Cash and Epps through their movies. Judging from the box office receipts, which for Top Gun alone total $160 million, the public likes the movies too. Cash does admit to having some reservations about the changes made by the studios in the scripts. “The changes made in the movies hurt them. In Top Gun, for exam­ ple, the love story was completely changed. The character played by Kelly McGillis was strong and in­ dependent in our script, but in the movie she came off weak and dull. She was also too old for the part,” said Cash. Legal Eagles however, was closer to their script, and according to Cash, most of the changes were made by the actors, rather than the director. Even though Cash and Epps didn’t have much involvement with the films beyond the script writing, they did suggest Tom Cruise for Top Gun and the director, who hadn’t wanted Cruise for the part, changed his mind and took their advice. On the whole, though, Cash doesn’t have too many complaints. He loves what he does - especially teaching, which is why he has con­ tinued even though he definitely doesn’t need the money. “I teach for fun. I get paid the minimum, but I get a parking sticker,” said Cash. He also loves East Lansing and has no plans to move to Los Ange­ les or New York, even though that’s where most movie business people live. “The midwest is the only place to raise kids. People in New York and Los Angeles are generally hustlers. I like the small town atmosphere here. The people have solid values and are down to earth. I don’t want fame to change my character,” Cash said. And it hasn’t appeared to either. Cash said he is still very involved in the community and with his kids. He and his wife ran the Cub Scouts last year and were involved in the East Lansing High School play this past fall. Cash also coa­ ched his daughter’s basketball team and was involved in the school board. Needless to say, Cash is a very busy and successful man, but it was long awaited. “It took me 17 years to succeed in this business. It is hard work. You have to be very dedicated,” said Cash. Now that he has finally “made it” though, Cash won’t sit back on his laurels. He and Epps are pres­ ently working on their ninth screenplay and Cash said he still has other ideas for more serious pictures. “One of these days I’m going to write something as heavy as Ghandi, just for fun,” said Cash. And at the rate he’s going, Cash just might do it. by Margo Moses AFTER BEING BOOSTED to fame by the success of his screenplays Legal Eagles and Top Gun, MSU professor Jim Cash became a popular interviewee for publications in­ cluding People magazine. IN HIS DUAL career, Cash mingled with movie celebrities, but returned to MSU stu­ dents during Fall and Spring terms to teach about American films in Telecommunication 280. FOLLOWING 17 YEARS of perseverance in the movie business, Jim Cash displays a pro­ motion in his home of Top Gun, his first screenplay to become a movie and the top grossing film of 1986.

Since its introduction to Michi­ gan Agricultural College, by Dr. William J. Beals, in 1882, the sci­ ence of forestry has developed into something much more complex than anything Dr. Beals could have imagined. At its inception, the department of forestry consisted of one profes­ sor and one course taught one term per year. Today, the department of fores­ try’s curriculum covers nearly ev­ ery aspect of trees and forest envi­ ronment, from the ground up. Forestry students are required to take 17 forestry classes as well as classes in chemistry, communi­ cations, computer programming and math. Eric McCumber, a for­ estry senior, said that the broad re­ quirements make forestry one of the more rounded majors. Our curriculum is really good,” McCumber said. “It’s so broad and it needs to be, because there are so many different fields to go into, business, research, urban, so we use all of those things. Forestry is more complicated than its “Smokey the Bear” image. Its techniques are up to date and today’s forester makes full use of current technology. There was more math and sci­ ence than I thought that there would be - more paperwork, com­ puter work and desk work than I thought,” senior Rex York, presi­ dent of the Forestry Club, said. “I went into forestry because 1 like being in the woods, but if you’re going to be a forester today, you have to deal with computers,” York said. Another important part of fores­ try’s curriculum is practical expe­ rience. Spring Block originated in 1911, when 24 forestry juniors spent six weeks of their summer living in tents near Grayling, Mich. A large tent served as their lecture hall and 80,000 acres of forest as their lab. After that initial outing the tra­ dition continued, but in a slightly modified form. Juniors were re­ quired to take five classes concur­ rently, and for three weeks of spring term they lived at Kettunen Center near Cadillac, Mich. While there, part of their re­ quirements included mapping, performing inventories and devel­ oping a forest management plan which they presented to professors and U.S. Forest Service personnel at the end of the three weeks. Spring Block is almost like a 24 hour-a-day class,” McCumber said. “We went out to work at 8 a.m. and didn’t get done until 11 p.m. But we learned a lot more than if it was a regular class, it was like having a job. I learned things that I ended up having to do when I worked with the Michigan Department of Nat­ ural Resources over the summer. It’s a real good teaching tool.” York, however, said that he would not want to go through Spring Block again. “I didn’t get much sleep that last week and I didn’t really care who was out there when I presented my plan,” he said. I just wanted to get some sleep.” During the Depression, Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s Civilian Conser­ vation Corps, organized to train youths in planting trees and devel­ oping park facilities, peaked the public’s interest in forestry. By 1937, 300 out of 4,097 stu­ dents at M.A.C. were forestry ma­ jors. Since that time, however, the number of forestry majors has dwindled. In addition, the number of career opportunities for forestry graduates has steadily decreased. In many cases, students were forced to tailor their degrees to fit demand, McCumber said. Forestry majors have to special­ ize,” he said. “Most of us came to the realization that if we wanted jobs, we would have to have a spe­ cialization that someone wants. It’s going to be pretty hard for a lot of people to find jobs and it will probably get more difficult.” McCumber added. “I guess that’s why I went into urban forestry, be­ cause I know I can get a job.” by Patricia Hamilton CALLING SQUARE DANCE steps at the Forestry Club’s Shindig is Jan Fowler.

Hall CLASS: FOR 304 About 150 forestry, fisheries and wildlife resources development students take FOR 304 each year. It is one of the classes that most forestry students take first in their major. Forestry junior Ron Cousino said that the class, Forest Ecology was one of the best classes he has had so far. “I went into the class not knowing anything about forestry and I came out knowing a lot about everything,” Cousino said. “I learned so much.” “The reason I learned so much was because the prof didn’t sit back and bore the class to death.” he added. “He was a really aggressive lecturer so you had to be a really aggressive thinker to keep up in the class discus­ sion.” FOR 304 met four times each week - three lectures and one lab. But Cousino said his attendance was perfect. “1 enjoyed going to that class,” he said. “You learned something every day - at least I did.” KARIN, 6 AND KRISTIN, 3 square dance with their father, forestry professor Larry Leefers, to the music of the Silver String Serenaders at the Forestry Club’s annual fundraiser.

Photos by Janis Matheson The international LANGUAGE OF LEARNING The phone bill arrived. Most students were shocked by the out­ rageous digits the result of late night talks with friends at home. However, it was international stu­ dents who felt the reprecussions of their choice to experience another culture: to experience overseas phone bills to relieve the loneliness of being away from friends in their native countries. Before students made the dras­ tic move to a new university and culture, foreign students had to confront other fears more difficult than your average freshman’s. “I was kind of afraid since MSU is much bigger than my Canadian school and I was worried about rooming with an American,” said engineering arts junior Wue Chung Cheung, a Hong Kong na­ tive. Along with the move to a dif­ ferent country, he was concerned with the difficulty of his name thereby adopting “Alfred” tempo­ rarily. Because English was required in Hong Kong education, Cheung be­ gan the alphabet at five years old like many Americans. However, 154 of his peers at MSU were re­ quired to take a crash course in the language to get the full potential of their MSU career. Some took as much as five hours a day at the En­ glish Language Center to over­ come their barrier and begin actu­ al University classes. According to Marcellette Wil­ liams, associate chairperson of un­ dergraduate studies, the students took classes until they were able to attain a score of 80-85 percent in a language proficiency test on which a native would have to score 100 percent. Although slang often confused students, including Cheung, it could not be included in the learning materials because it changed too quickly. Instead, Williams said a “live” language was used to teach. Much of the learning occurred outside the classroom. Accounting junior Polinik Sophocleus said, “I spoke Greek until I came here. I had to take English classes, but I learned to speak fluently from speaking to other people.” While American students could let their foreign language skills wane from lack of use, foreign stu­ dents were encouraged to use theirs as much as possible to main­ tain the “survival level”. Dr. James Stalker said students in the one­ time program “will reach a level where they will continue to im­ prove if they use the language. Un­ fortunately, not all do and prefer to sit in the library and read.” However, for 70 of those foreign students, lack of English practice was not a concern since they would have to teach a class to Americans. To become acquainted with the classroom setting beforehand, a five day Foreign Teaching Orien­ tation Program with rigorous tes­ ting, lectures, and tape-recording and videotaping of each TA pre­ senting his subject. According to Stalker, the pro­ gram purpose was to “try to teach them what American Universities and students are all about and to grasp the difference in the educa­ tion system from their own.” by Lori Tomek Janine Smith JAPANESE STUDENT Junko Sakural prac­ tices her keyboard skills in the Wells Hall English lab.

The Pakistan Students Association planned many special events for the year. On February 22 a combination folkdance, mu­ sic, and mock wedding ceremony was exhibited at the Erickson Kiva. “A lot of people came and it turned out to be pretty good,” PSA member Rizwan Nassar, an advertising se­ nior, said. A feature of Pakistan is it has a lot of varying cul­ tures. The PSA is trying to bring this into the group. “There are thirty Pakistani students at MSU,” Nassar said, “This year we’ve been trying to involve a lot of foreign students. A lot of Americans has joined us.” La Vern Pennington A SUMMER OF PUBS, PUNKS AND PRINCESSES “I really enjoyed going to Lon­ don to study,” said journalism se­ nior Wendy Stevens, who was en­ rolled in the reporting program. “It was just a relief to finally be able to go on the program. A lot of us had problems getting our guar­ anteed student loans.” “Once our group arrived in Lon­ don we had the best time,” she said. “Aside from studying, we had a lot of time to go sightseeing and just have fun.” Students who were in London during the summer also cashed in on an extra benefit - the royal wed­ ding between Britain’s Prince An­ drew and Sarah Ferguson. “The royal wedding was so ex­ citing!” journalism senior Michael Ilich said. “I would have never had the chance to go to Buckingham Palace to pick up press releases or participate in all of the festivities before and after the wedding if I had stayed at MSU for the sum­ mer. I would have had to catch it all on television.” Prior to the wedding Ilich said he and some classmates spent the night sleeping out on the street in front of Westminster Abbey to get prime viewing spaces. “It was the chance of a life­ time,” he said. “Our whole group had press passes to the Queen Eliz­ abeth II Press Centre, so we were offered a lot of benefits.” “A few of us were so caught up in the royal wedding it was unbe­ lievable,” Ilich added. “Fergie was on the front of nearly every maga­ zine and newspaper the whole time we were there, but when I saw her step out of her carriage - she was so beautiful. Fergie looked just like a storybook princess.” Other than the royal wedding students studying in London were able to attend events such as the American Bowl between the Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys, watching punk rockers or just relaxing with friends in pubs and enjoying'a pint of beer. “When we weren’t in class or in the pubs, we were out just experi­ encing life in London,” journalsim senior Tom Watts said. “It was so different. Some of the punk rock­ ers we saw were really outrageous. They even charged us a pound to take their pictures. Can you be­ lieve it? by Janis Matheson WAITING OUTSIDE of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center in London, journalism senior Kristin Casler takes in the sights of the Royal Wedding. While some students spent their time studying in the Main Library, Eppley Center or Applegate Read­ ing Room others chose more exotic locations to study and earn credits. Approximately 935 MSU stu­ dents opted to adventure to foreign lands during the 1985-86 aca­ demic year for classes. Through the Office of Overseas Study MSU offered about 60 pro­ grams in 17 countries mixed in a wide range of curriculums, said Delores Foote, a clerk in the Office of Overseas Study. Of the countries hosting MSU study programs, London was by far the most popular country in terms of course offerings, Foote said. “London by far has the largest number of programs,” she said. “Other programs in countries which do not speak English are mainly for language study or re­ quire the student to possess some knowledge of a foreign language. In London students don’t need to know any other language so it makes it easier to study there.” According to Foote, about 18 programs were offered in London during the summer alone. Pro­ grams included: reporting, mass media, medical humanities engi­ neering, business law and more. AMONG PROFESSSIONAL JOURNAL­ ISTS, MSU journalism students Wendy Ste­ vens and Michael Ilich review video tapes of the wedding in the Queen Elizabeth II Con­ ference Center for the MSU London Repor­ ting Program.

AN ACADEMIC Journal TIME: 10:20 a.m. PLACE: 102 Wilson Hall CLASS: Humanities 222 A crash course in culture. For many students hu­ manities opened new doors into the world of art and liter­ ature. Who was Michelangelo? What were some of his most famous works? Students learned the answers to these questions and more while meeting University re­ quirements for 9-12 credits of humanities. Among MSU students, the Western World series of Humanities 201, 202 and 203 were the most popular. Humanities 221, 222 and 223, which offered a study of the visual arts and Western culture, also enjoyed great popularity. “Humanities 222 was a great class,” said communi­ cation sophomore Lori Tomek. “Studying European art and culture really makes me want to travel to Europe, especially Greece.” Some students enjoyed the class so much, they en­ rolled in the entire series. “I followed the series because the professor teaching it was so good,” said Ken Nash, Advertising senior. “Professor Kilbourne is one of the most fantastic profes­ sors at this University.” Photos by Kris Miller. WHILE VISITING AMSTERDAM, London reporting program students encountered anti-American sentiments and protests. Just a different BRAND OF MEDICINE What do Socrates and Budweiser have in common with MSU? Both were patients at the MSU Veterinary Clinic. Soc­ rates was an owl residing in the wildlife area and Budweis­ er was a Schnauzer mix in need of eye treatment. Though some students may have only been familiar with the clinic because they had at­ tended class in the nearby lec­ ture hall, others brought their furry friends to the facility from as far away as Indiana and Ohio for special care. Many of the patients were referred to the clinic by veter­ inarians who could not pro­ vide the special care or facili­ ties offered by MSU. Veterinary student Dana Ziherl stressed that the an­ imal-care facilities were very similar to human-care facili­ ties. Here, too, one could find blood donors, much paper work and students and clini­ cians on duty 24 hours for emergency calls. However, before students could make the long-term commitment of veterinarian study, they studied three years of pre-veterinary general edu­ cation and gained experience by cleaning stalls, feeding and even milking cows while get­ ting acquainted with life sav­ ing procedures which might be needed some day. Besides these tasks, students had to have a 3.0 grade point aver­ age, high scores on the MCAT examination and pass an in­ terview session in the spring. Every April, which Ziherl described as “big stress month,” approximately 75 percent of the applicants for the Vet Clinic positions were turned down, and others be­ gan more intense studies. Stu­ dents did not begin to get “hands on” experience until their senior year, however. According to Ziherl, com­ munication skills became a necessity since students were expected to deal with the pa­ tient’s owners on their own. “I was petrified my senior year,” he said. “They expec­ ted you to figure things out on your own and clinicians are al­ ways looking over your shoul­ der. But it’s not so bad once you get used to it.” Some of the patients the students dealt with lived in the wildlife area of the compound along with Socrates and an­ other bird Jonathan Winter Seagull. These convalescent birds were brought to the clin­ ic by students who kept them as pets or perhaps had found them injured. Since many of the vet stu­ dents were specifically inter­ ested in caring for wild birds and other animals of this type they formed a club called the American Association of Zoo and Wildlife Veterinarians.

Lori Tomek A DIFFERENT BRAND care, but other equipment was built especially for larger an­ imals. For example, the clinic kept a scale which had a capacity of 4,000 pounds for some of the heaviest pets brought in for treatment. A padded room the size of a generous dorm room was also provided to big animals who were prone to thrashing about after surgery, particu­ larly horses. For animals that could not be brought in to the clinic, trucks were equipped for emergency calls to farms within a 25-mile radius of campus. Since many of the students working in the clinic were on 24-hour call, many were equipped with beepers and liv­ ed in nearby Spartan Village or Owen Hall so they could re­ spond more quickly to calls. But even when they could not go home to sleep, apartments were available for a quick nap between emergencies. While other students were probably in a deep sleep many veterinary students were busy at six a.m. trying to complete patient assessments which were due at eight a.m. With such devotion to their job, many of the students called their patients by name and were often found petting and talking to them. While reminiscing of a Great Dane he had taken care of and sent home just the day before, Ziherl said that it was easy to get attached to the pa­ tients. by Lori Tomek FOR EXPERIENCE IN their major, animal science and veterinary students were re- . quired to work in animal-care settings.

Patrick O'Brien AN ACADEMIC Journal While most MSU students have to just fulfill mini­ mum requirements to be accepted by their individual col­ lege, pre-vet students found they had to go far beyond the minimum to compete with each other and applicants from other colleges for the mere 100 openings. Seven months prior to the selection, applicants were required to take the MCAT which is used for medical students as well according to pre-vet/biological sciences junior Renee Alsarraf. While grades and the 240 + hours of volunteer and work experience were on an ongoing competitive basis, an interview was the final decisive factor of acceptance. “Each interview is different. It could be about ethics or about sports to just find out what kind of person you are,” said Alsarraf. All pre-vet students had a backup major in case the April results were disappointing. After years of prepar­ ing to be a vet what does one do if he or she doesn’t make the cut? “Cry,” said Alsarraf. “And try again next year.” Patrick O’Brien Lining up for FORMS AND FUNDS Money - we are talking about big money. That is what it took to attend a caliber of school such as MSU. Unless you were one of the lucky people whose father rubbed elbows with corporate giants, you sought help from the Financial Aids Department at MSU. Since many students were not fortunate enough to have well-off parents, a rather large number of people appealed to this depart­ ment, headed up by Dr. Thomas A. Scarlett. In fact, during the 1985- 86 academic year approximately 90,000 people were seen at the sec­ ond-floor offices in the Student Services Building. That number increased this year due to a newly passed tax reform. “Congress passed a new tax re­ form in 1986 that does have a di­ rect influence on scholarships and grants that students are receiv­ ing,” Scarlett said. “The key point is all scholarships,.fellowships,'and grants will be taxable except for the amount that is directly attrib­ utable to tuition, fees, or books and materials. However many people still were confused according to Scarlett. “Our goal is to try and get as much information out to students in advance so that we can try to an­ ticipate their questions and answer them ahead of time,” Scarlett said. “Actually, the burden of this whole thing is going to fall primari­ ly on the students,” Scarlett con­ tinued. “The University will pro­ vide a report at the end of the year telling the students how much they received in the form of scholar­ ships and grants. Then it is the stu­ dent’s responsibility in dealing with the Internal Revenue Service to indicate how much was received in the way of scholarships and grants and how much was paid for tuition and books. “It’s really going to be impor­ tant this year for students to keep track of what they’re spending, particularity on books. We have no way of knowing how much money your books were. So that’s realty the student’s responsibility to keep track of that. Students being nor­ mal people typically throw their receipts away. It’s realty important that receipts be saved.” There was a new and growing view among the public. Many peo­ ple felt that since students benefit- ted from education, they should have to pay for it. As a result of the new regula­ tions, financial aid recipient were to be taxed on their award. Howev­ er, many would have liked to see students begin payments on loans prior to graduation. “The pressure nationwide is more toward loans,” Scarlett ex­ plained. “More emphasis is on loans, and more emphasis is placed on higher cost loans. Right now, the loan programs that we have are subsidized, which basically means that the student does not pay inter­ est while he or she is in school.” “The pressure in Washington is to move those interest rates up at market level, and also to make the students pay the interest while they’re in school,” he said. “Again that puts an additional burden on students at a time when they realty can’t afford to make those kind of payments.” If this happened many students would be forced to quit school, not having the funds necessary. Many already had a job - or even two - to stay in school. An extra payment would have been too much. Students would be deciding their major strictly on probable salary after graduation. After graduation, students would be leaving owing terrific amounts of money. They would have to pay off their loan, making them postpone plans to make purchases such as a car, house, or marriage. Big money - that is what it took to finance an education at MSU. Although sweeping changes in the financial aid system created many new problems for students, admin­ istrators and government officials claimed the money was still out there. Although it meant standing in line for hours and filling out an endless amount of paperwork, stu­ dents perservered. “I need the money,” said finance junior Phil Slocum. “I don’t get any help from my parents. With­ out financial aid my college career would come to an end.” by Patrick Kessler IN THE FIRST days of Spring registration, students line up in the stairwell of the Stu­ dent Services building and wait their turn to enter Financial Aids. STUDENTS LINE UP for assistance at the Financial Aids Office. Long lines and waits of up to one hour were common after finan­ cial aid forms were distributed. AN ACADEMIC Journal Financial Aids The U.S. government began “cleaning house” with the most sweeping changes in the tax system in history. Few financial aid recipients realized that the tax re­ forms would directly affect them. “Students don’t believe (the tax changes) will affect them,” said Tom Scarlett, director of the Office of Fi­ nancial Aids. “It probably won’t hit them until tax time (in 1988).” Beginning with 1987 income all scholarships and grants became taxable. The new income tax reporting guidelines could re­ quire students to submit receipts for books, rent, tuition and other living expenses to prove how they use their fi­ nancial aid, Scarlett said. During the 1986-87 academic year over 20,000 re­ ceived approximately $63 million in financial aid, he added. “Aid will still be available in the future,” Scarlett said. “But the new guidelines will make it available to fewer students.” Photos by La Vern Pennington Stargazing on a SHOESTRING BUDGET How long does Pluto take to travel around the sun? Why, was the sky yellow at sunset instead of red? David Batch, director of Abrams Planetarium, answered questions like these every day from students interested in the skies. at five dollars per subscription. In spite of these obstacles, how­ ever, Batch’s outlook was positive. “I think we’re doing an admirable job of serving the university and the community. We just can’t do all the things we’d like to do.” Astronomy, for some reason, does capture people to the point where they want to become in­ volved,” Batch attested, and the planetarium helped satisfy this in­ terest in the Michigan State and East Lansing community. Located on Shaw Lane, Abrams is considered a major planetarium with a fifty foot project dome. Hos­ ting up to four shows a day, the planetarium is geared towards ex­ citing people to the point where they want to observe the real sky, Batch said. But maintaining the facilities to keep people educated about the stars isn’t always easy. In 1981, Michigan State University cut the planetarium’s funding back to zero due to a budget crisis. Abrams lost its degree program to the budget cut, and no longer teaches courses for the university. Most of the planetarium’s income came through show admission fees and memberships. Additionally, Abrams produced a monthly star calendar, which provided income MSU students agreed with Batch about the planetarium’s present services. Matt Young, a freshman busi­ ness major who visited Abrams with his astronomy class, was glad to see his course material in a more realistic setting. “It helps to see it, rather than read about it,” Young said. Katie Stevens, also a fresh­ man business major, went to the planetarium with her cosmology class. “It was just a really neat ex­ perience. It helped me understand the positions of stars, and visualize them more.” Although linked by the astrono­ my field and the basic tenet of in­ spiring interest in the skies, the MSU observatory and Abrams Planetarium really have no affilia­ tion. The observatory was built in 1971 to aid in teaching astronomi­ cal research and to test out instru­ ments. The mirror in the telescope measures twenty-four inches in di­ ameter; it is a large telescope for teaching purposes in Michigan. The observatory, too, was sub­ ject to the budget crisis of 1981, and since its reopening in the spring of 1986, it has been run on “a bit of a shoestring budget,” ac­ cording to Dr. Horace Smith, an astronomer who worked with the observatory. The observatory had no separate staff, but was run by the Physics and Astronomy de­ partments at MSU. Currently, de­ cisions are being made as to the best utilization of the observatory’s facilities. The observatory is “still kind of finding its legs” in terms of activi­ ties, and the major thrust has been towards students and class work. Amateurs and beginners are taught basic observation tech­ niques, and aspiring astrophysi­ cists learn how to operate a tele­ scope of that size on their own. In addition, the observatory opened for public viewing two nights per month, and for special events such as Halley’s Comet. “Halley’s Comet allowed us a lot of open houses,” Smith said, esti­ mating a guest total of 5000. “We hope to motivate students to look at the sky,” projected Smith, “It’s one thing to have the lecture, texts, slides ... but you should really go out to the actual sky.” by Elizabeth Krebs A TOSCALE MODEL of the Earth, com­ plete with mountains and valleys, fascinates Abrams planetarium patrons in its rotating simulation of night and day.

Sci. 115 You either love them or you hate them, but nearly all MSU students were required to enroll for 9-12 credits of natural science. Of all natural science, or “nat. sci.” as most MSU students referred to them as, the most popular were Ge­ netics 115, Geology 125 and Astronomy 135. In the fall, over 70 sections of natural science 115 were set up to accommodate the large number of stu­ dents who signed up for the course. Each term over 5,000 students enroll in a natural science course working to­ ward fulfilling their general education requirements. Although the classes were required, many students complained that natural science was not relevant to their majors and the courses were extremely difficult. “My prof couldn’t speak English,” journalism se­ nior Margo Moses said. “The class was too hard. It seemed to be geared toward science majors - not general education.” Another student had the same feelings for natural science courses. “My grades have been posted, but I’m not even go­ ing to look,” communications freshman Rick Kessler said. photos by Mike Stassus Making mole hills INTO MOUNTAINS Breslin Student Events Center, was announced after intensive lob­ bying efforts. Another important new build­ ing was the Crop and Soil Sciences Building. Located at Bogue Street and Wilson Road, it was near all the crop and soil research facilities. The horticulture and crop and soil sciences departments are housed in the new facility. Because both departments were housed in the same building, joint research projects were easier than when they were in separate buildings. Sharing information was also the motivation behind the new “shared laser laboratory”, located in the basement of the Chemistry building. With three new lasers and five new spectrometers, the laboratory has lifted the Univer­ sity’s status to one of the top labs in the nation. Opened in October, the two room lab holds equipment for the chemistry, agricultural engineer­ ing departments. Money for the lab’s location was supplied by the University and the departments used their state and federal re­ search grants to purchase the equipment, by Cara Boeff and Kim Alexander Keeping pace as one of the largest campuses requires contin­ ual additions and growth. With over $18 million spent on new buildings and renovations in 1986, the University stayed on the forefront of land-grant institu­ tions. The most widely publicized new building was the Breslin Stu­ dent Events Center. The arena is expected to be completed for the 1988-89 basketball season. It will join the tennis facility, indoor foot­ ball practice building and an east campus intramural sports facility in strengthening MSU’s sports programs. One of more controversial as­ pects of the sports arena develop­ ment was the source of the $38 mil­ lion needed for the building. The majority of the money came from the students. Over 95 percent of the funds for the arena are coming out of the students’ pocketbooks, Maria Ladas, ASMSU executive direc­ tor, said. Since April 1985 students paid the $l-per-credit hour fee which became $2-per-credit hour in fall 1986. “I don’t feel the Breslin Stu­ dent Events Center is necessary. We presently have an adequate basketball arena and if adminis­ tration feels that it isn’t they should renovate Jenison Field House,” Jill Ellis, an education sophomore, said. The funding problem was fur­ ther compounded when legisla­ tures and MSU officials decided the arena should be named after Jack Breslin, former MSU vice- president of administration and public affairs. Breslin had been currently serving as senior consul­ tant for state and public affairs. Breslin was an avid sports fan who was an acclaimed athlete. He was a Spartan freshman baseball recruit in 1942 and by the end of his collegiate career had the Gov­ ernor’s award for the most valu­ able player in football. In 1985, he was named “Spartan of the Year”. Although many supported the idea of the “Jack Breslin Arena”, the students quickly protested what they considered to be an im­ portant word “student” was omit­ ted from the title. As Ladas further noted in the State News, “the word ’student’ should be involved or included in the building’s name because the students are paying for the facility, and it is primarily for the stu­ dents,” she said. The dust finally settled when the official title of the arena, the THE COMMUTER LOT gives way to the Jack Breslin Student Events Center. Contro­ versy over funding and the elimination of valuable parking spaces marred the new project. A GRADUATE STUDENT works in the new shared laboratory. Along with lasers and spectrometers, the lab holds equipment for the chemistry, agricultural engineering and chemical engineering departments. Kris Miller WORKMEN CLEAR THE way for the Jack Breslin Student Events Center, scheduled for completion in 1988. The arena will replace Jenison Field House for basketball and in­ door events. NEWLY COMPLETED, the Crop and Soil Sciences Building will house research labs for the CSS and horticulture schools. Kris Miller AN ACADEMIC Journal TIME: 10:30 a.m. PLACE IM-West CLASS: HCPIIIA “Freshmen fifteen” was one result of a full schedule that many students, not only freshmen, encountered. With a full credit load, students often did not have time to keep physically fit. For many Dancercize 111A was a popular way to earn credit and burn off unwanted pounds. “I took the class because it sounded like fun,” said biological science sophomore Michelle Brown. “The class is a good motivator because it makes you think about your health. Dancercize also is helpful for people who procrastinate since you are graded on participa­ tion.” There were five or six sections offered a term and each section met twice a week for an hour, said physical education secretary Nancy Bement. About 75 people are in each section and they are pretty close to full every term, she added. “The classes have mostly women in them,” said Be­ ment. “But each term there are more men who enroll.” La Vern Pennington Janine Smith Ingredients for GETTING AHEAD “I probably will never eat meat again.” she said. “I mean, they had these big slabs of meat on tables and we had to identify them. We studied by going to Meijer’s and looking at the meats.” “It was an interesting class though, and I learned a lot.” Miller said. “I know so much about meats now that I never knew before.” In addition to the meat classes, stu­ dents were also required to enroll in muffin labs. The labs were designed to teach students basic food preparation of foods such as cake, ice cream, pas­ tas, and meat dishes. Miller said that she enjoyed the muffin lab a lot, and learned how cer­ tain methods of cooking affect other areas of food preparation. Another unique class that HRI stu­ dents were offered was Beverage Eval­ uation, in which students learned how to taste wines and beers and judge them. In the past, the class, which was only open to HRI seniors, was taught by Professor Stephen Miller. The class was only open to senior HRI majors, however. The class was offered as an overseas study in countries such as France and Switzerland. Last year however, a controversy de­ veloped between the University and the Department of Transportation over the Beverage Tasting class. Transportation officials questioned whether the class complied with the 21 drinking-age law in Michigan. According to Miller, Gov. James Blanchard explained the merits of the class to the department and they found that it did indeed comply with the law. Since the class was only open to sen­ iors, it was decided that most enrollees would have reached their 21 birthday. Staci Munic, an HRI junior, said she was looked forward to taking the class in France after her senior year. “It’s an important class to have be­ cause if you want to own a fine dining establishment, you have to to know which wine to serve with what food.” Munic said. “Most 18 and 19-year- olds don’t know those things.” Debbie Stone, also an HRI junior, said she was hoped to take the class in France too. “I don’t know that much about it, but it sounds interesting and I would like to learn more about the wine in­ dustry,” Stone said. However, Miller said she wasn’t sure when the class would be offered again due to a shortage of staff to teach it. HRI students were also required to earn on-the-job credits while working over two summers. Students worked in restaurants or hotels and had to write a paper on their experience. “Students get to know the industry by being in it,” Miller said. by Margo Moses WORKING TOGETHER TO finish their meals quicker, business administration se­ nior Lori Gerstler and merchandising man­ agement senior Debbie Hoedel cook by using a wok. According to one member of the class, “I took it because it sounded like fun.” It was more than just learning to cook and take care of a restaurant. One of the most diverse programs at MSU and one of the best in the coun­ try, was the Hotel, Restaurant and In­ stitutional Management - better known as HRL The HRI school boasted approxi­ mately 1000-1100 undergraduates in the department, which is located in Eppley Center, with the Business school. In fact, many of the classes for both HRI and business majors over­ lapped. HRI majors were required to take Accounting 201 and 202, Finance 391, and Marketing and Management clas­ ses - the same as business majors. They were also required to enroll in a variety of other classes which were unique to HRI majors. What set HRI classes apart from the average classes were the special labs and on the job experience they have. There were also classes in Food Sci­ ence, where students learned about meat quality and cooking in a labora­ tory setting. According to Stephen Miller, asst, professor in the HRI school, these clas­ ses were very instrumental in learning for the HRI students. “The students need to know how to buy and handle meat, because they will be serving food to the public one day,” Miller said. Some of the students said they had mixed reactions about the meat labs, though. Becky Miller, an HRI sopho­ more, admitted that it wasn’t always the most pleasant experience. AS BUSINESS SOPHOMORE Becky Glea­ son samples her finished product, HRI sopho­ more Sarah Fort arranges hers in a nice dis­ play.

AN ACADEMIC Journal TIME: 3:00 pm PLACE: Anthony Hall CLASS: HNF 100 Believe it or not there is at least one class at Michi­ gan State University where the more homework there is, the better. The class is Health and Nutritional Foods 100, Principle of Food Preparation, and the homework are cakes, muffins, or whatever else was made that day. “It’s fun because it’s a different kind of studying,” business sophomore Becky Gleason said. The class, which met Tuesdays and Thursdays in An­ thony Hall, has labs where the students cook their home­ work. “Labs are a lot of fun,” Gleason said, “We make food we talked about in class. The first week we made muffins. Some were overbeaten and some were under­ beaten, we had to eat both to taste the difference.” Following each lab, the food is eaten, put in the re­ frigerator, or taken home by the students much to their pleasure. Or, in case they are flunking, displeasure. Photos by La Vern Pennington Looking beyond THE PHYSICAL BARRIERS She is a beautiful blue-eyed blonde who likes to water-ski. She is independent and comfortable with her life as a communication junior at MSU. She has a dog named Trinka. But there is something unusu­ al about Tara Perkins. She is just one of 80 blind students at MSU. When first meeting Tara, the first thing most people will notice is her cheerfulness, her zest and ex­ citement with life. Her goal is to eventually use her schooling and land a job in public relations. At 23, most people are think­ ing about their first jobs and plan­ ning their futures. For Tara, 23 was an age she will never forget. That was the year Tara lost her sight-in just six months-because of diabetes. The struggle of coming to terms with blindness has taught 30-year-old Tara some lessons. “As far as accepting my blindness, it’s hard to sum it up in just a few words. I guess the best advice is to take each hurdle as it comes,” she said. One of those hurdles was dealing with the memories of los­ ing her sight, which seven years later still are very close for her. “I think I’ll always remember that time in my life, and as time goes on, maybe it gets farther away, maybe they’ll get more dis­ tant,” Tara said. But there is one thing the Wil­ liamston native is sure of. “I think it’s strength-that whatever comes my way, I can take it,” she said. “After something like this happens, you know whether or not you’re a survivor. It gives you strength just knowing that.” Probably the most exception­ al thing about Tara is that she has done what she wanted with her life. At 21, she wanted to leave Michi­ gan for San Francisco, Calif. She was a registered cosmetologist­ something she learned in high school vocational education. So she left to ply her trade in sunny Cali­ fornia. Two years later, she was still there, and legally blind. Some peo­ ple would have raced back to the security of family in Michigan, in­ stead of standing eye operations and a grim prognosis several thou­ sand miles away. For Tara, it was the practical thing to do. “Well, my doctor was there. And by that time, California was pretty much my home,” she said.

It is a relationship that has lasted. children-she has three brothers and a sister. After Trinka came into her life, she returned to Michigan and began to attend Lansing Commu­ nity College. About a year ago, she started her quest for a degree at MSU. And were her first few days at MSU nerve-wracking and confus­ ing? Not for Tara, who said her memory of them are “exciting-it is such a big place.” She is in all ways typical, but at the same time, different. At 5- feet-41/2 and 119 pounds, she looks like a typical college woman. She admits to wearing “faddish clothes.” At the same time, there are a few things she wants people to know about her and her life. “I want people to know that I’m a nice, motivated person. That I have a lot on the ball. I strive for success and for positiveness in my life,” Tara said. “Most of all, I am still a person. The same person, the same Tara Perkins I was before I lost my sight.” Tara hasn’t given up on old pastimes. She waterskis, cross­ country skis and swims nearly ev­ ery day. She is the oldest of five She misses driving, and dis­ likes having to depend on public transportation. She’d rather rely on herself. At 23, becoming blind turned into an important point in her life. Instead of worrying about what she couldn’t do, she focused on what was possible. College was a thought she has always toyed with. She had taken a few classes along the way. “Really, when I lost my sight I thought here’s an opportunity to make a change,” she said. Instead of letting blindness rob her of her independence, she has learned, as many MSU handi­ cappers do, how to deal with the rewards and hardships of a handi­ capper’s life. “At the time, I was wondering why it was happening to me. But I got over that. I don’t know how. It’s a hard thing to answer. You just do what you have to.” by Barb Isaacs WORKING WITH THE storybook taping equipment, faculty specialist in handicapped service J.J. Jackson rewinds tapes which were provided to blind students. And it was there that she found there is hope-and plenty of it-after her crushing blow. She at­ tended an orientation center for newly-blind people, and it gave her something crucial. “After losing my sight, I was more concerned with losing my in­ dependence. That was what I was most worried about. And when they told me I could go to this cen­ ter and they would teach me how to be self-sufficient I felt a lot bet­ ter,” Tara said. Another thing that helped her solidify her independence as a blind person was her unwillingness to cling to Michigan and her famil­ iar roots. “One of the first things is that I didn’t move home (to Michigan) even though my parents wanted me to. I felt I needed to be on my own and learn for myself what I was capable of,” she said. At the orientation center, she learned to use a white, red-tipped cane and to read Braille. Once she became comfortable with her new- found skills, it was time to think of getting a new soul-mate-her gol­ den retriever leader dog, Trinka.

AN ACADEMIC Journal Accessibility Red and blue “no handicapper” symbols were spray painted on cement curbs and stairways across MSU as students protested the lack of wheelchair accessible routes across the 5,263 acre campus. “Eighty percent of the University programs are in­ accessible to handicappers,” said Judy Gentile, director of handicapper programs. Shocked by the problem, campus governing groups rallied to force officials to take steps toward making MSU accessible for all students. Resolutions passed by ASMSU, COGS and the student council strongly encouraged the University to meet its commitment to serve all students and comply with federal law. Handicapper students also held a rally in I October to increase student awareness. Over 100 people attended, about 50 were non-handi- . cappers. Photos by La Vern Pennington The eyes have it- 4.0'S WITHIN SIGHT MSU students became in­ creasingly inventive at getting out of studying, and some of them paid the price for it. “Scamming”, or cheating, be­ came a bigger and bigger problem at MSU and also at other universi­ ties around the country, according to MSU Ombudsman Carolyn Steber. “I just came back from a national meeting of ombudsmen and cheating is a problem every­ where. People are very concerned about it,” said Steber. Students found many differ­ ent methods of scamming, includ­ ing breaking into professor’s of­ fices, buying tests, and paying friends to take tests for them. Unfortunately, not many stu­ dents received the punishment they deserved. In 1985-86, there were only 64 cases of students caught cheating. According to Steber, this meant the student had to be brought before the depart­ ment of the class where he was caught cheating and be proven guilty based on reasonable evi­ dence. The burden of proof rests with the professor so if he doesn’t have enough evidence, the student can’t be brought up on dishonesty charges. However, noting the small number caught cheating last year, it seems that many professors have looked the other way at cheaters, or given them second chances. Steve, a criminal justice se­ nior, took a class two years ago in which he was caught looking on another student’s paper. The in­ structor took the exam but gave Steve the chance to retake it the following day. He retook the exam and failed it. Last year he tried taking the class again but instead of trying the honest route, he had a friend go take the midterm for him. Un­ fortunately, they were checking ID’s and the friend left. Steve nev­ er took the midterm and had to drop the class. Others however, were scared enough to straighten out. Last year, Mark a business senior, was entrapped by some TA’s in a test buying scam. He had to repeat the course and the first time around was wiped from his record. How did he feel about what he did? “I really learned my lesson, I wouldn’t ever do that again,” he said The usual punishment for stu­ dents caught cheating though, was a 0.0 in the class which stays on the student’s transcript, but no expla­ nation of the 0.0 appears. No one would ever know that it was re­ ceived for academic dishonesty. According to Steber, cheating on an exam, though, is considered less serious than selling an exam or breaking into a professor’s office. There were some students who don’t condone cheating, even to get themselves a better grade. Joy Alexander, a senior in James Madison said “It stinks, because if the class is on a curve, you lose out. They say if you’re really smart you can get away with it, but it’s not worth it. This is your life.” Other students don’t consider cheating so horrible, especially when it only involves looking on someone else’s paper or cheating in a class riot in your major’s require­ ments. Mark Kay, a psychology ju­ nior, said “I’d rather not cheat, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I don’t think it is as bad when you cheat in an unimportant class that is out of your major.” Another student, Laura Miller, who is a merchandising management senior, disapproves of cheating, but feels that if other people are going to be dishonest and do better than those who study, then why not cheat? “It’s re­ ally unfair to people who study, but if you’re stuck in a corner, what choice do you have? If the class is on a curve then you will be at a dis­ advantage if you don’t cheat. I was in class where some students got the test the night before. I debated whether or not to look at it, but if others were going to do so , and get better grades than me, why shouldn’t I?” “Many students try to cut corners by cheating, but it will come back to haunt them later. Some students have even gotten so disgusted that they inform on their classmates,” said Steber. by Margo Moses PEERING OVER HER neighbor’s test in hopes of getting a better grade, one student takes the risks of scamming. MANY DIFFERENT METHODS of creative test taking can be used including the old “quadrate formula in palm” trick. AN ACADEMIC Journal The Final This is it. You have one chance to salvage your grade. It’ll be easy... if you survive finals week. Characterized by all nighters, ugly mood swings and chain smoking, finals week was probably the most intense week of the term. Pressured by the drive to pass their classes, students cram pizza, caffeine and scads of information in order to make it through the week. It’s a harried display of memory techniques and raw survival. What was finals week like for business management freshman Windy Zinn? “It was chaotic. One constant headache. In two out of three of my classes, my exams determined my final grade. Communication sophmore Renee Skower agreed. “It was extremely stressful. To me it was horrible. I hat­ ed it because I wasn’t prepared. My finals counted too much and I needed to get good grades.” Photos by La Vern Pennington Plus Signs Bumper stickers sold at University book­ stores summed up the attitude of many stu­ dents and faculty: “Michigan State is THE University of Michigan.” Although U-M received almost $34 mil­ lion more in state funds than MSU, enrollment figures were proof the school was truly repre­ sentative of Michigan. According to Lynn Peltier, assistant direc­ tor of planning and budgets, 34,433 Michigan residents attended MSU - an increase of 2.1 percent over 1985. The University was a true melting pot. Spartans came from every county in Michigan, every state in the Union and over 100 foreign countries. Winter term enrollment figures showed that 20,093 women were pursuing degrees, compared to 20,064 men. Minorities comprised 8.9 percent of the population, and foreign stu­ dents totalled 2,012 - an increase of 7.1 percent over the previous year. Spartans were true achievers. MSU was a stepping stone for the careers of many famous figures: the governors of Hawaii, Wisconsin and Michigan, and athletes like Earvin “Magic” Johnson. “MSU has given me many opportunities,” said junior Kevin Roberts. “Someday I hope to give something in return. My blood runs green.” THE STUDENT section cheers as MSU earns a first down against the Purdue Boilermakers.

LaVern Pennington Then and Now Changing from MAC to MSU State Agricultural College, which was Michigan State’s humble beginning, is the predecessor of numerous name changes that have come about in 131 years of existence. These numerous name changes reflect the university’s rich his­ tory, pride, and its transforma­ tion from a small land grant col­ lege to the Big Ten university it is today. Part of the past remains on the streets that carry the names of the university’s heritage. One street in particular is Farm Lane. Before the street was paved with concrete and build­ ings were erected, there were the flourishing farm lands that scat­ tered all over the site in which MSU, as we know it today, pre­ vails. In 1855 this land was pur­ chased and made into a college for higher education. The Act for Establishment of a State Ag­ ricultural School was approved by Gov. Kingsley S. Bingham on February 12, 1855. The act pro­ posed “to improve and teach the science and practice of agricul­ ture.” It also proposed, “The course of the instruction in said college shall include the follow­ ing branches of education: agri­ culture, home economics, engi­ neering, forestry, and veterinary medicine.” As history has it, it was not until two years later on May 31 that the first sixty-one students arrived for the official dedica­ tion. Soon afterwards, President Joseph R. Williams resigned from the college and was suc­ ceeded by professor Lewis Ran­ son Fisk, who pressed on as the leader of the college that was on the “threshold of development.” With this president, the intense pride of the university began to strengthen and grow. The results were gratifying. It prompted the legislature, in 1861, to rename State Agricultural College to “Michigan Agricultural Col­ lege” and it was successively placed under the new State Board of Agriculture. By the turn of the century, the continued IN DOWNTOWN East Lansing, Interna­ tional relations sophomore Matt Petterson turns the corner at America’s Cup on MAC Avenue.

CHANGING from MAC to MSU school expanded its academic program, and the opportunities for specialized degrees were opened. The graduate program strengthened and the curricu­ lum reached far beyond the ear­ lier five areas of study. With all of these expansions, the State Board again called the attention of the legislature to the shortcomings of the college’s name and petitioned for a change. In 1925, the legislature agreed, and selected “Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science” In short, they called it Michigan State, or MSC. Many changes in Michigan and the college’s history prompt­ ed the need for yet another re­ naming of the school. While the president of the college, John Al­ fred Hannah, was launching a BARLOW—BENSON $23 million building program in 1946 which included classrooms, laboratories and living units, a significant achievement in State’s centennial year guided State toward its formal recogni­ tion as a university. According to the 1955 Centennial yearbook (dedicated to the recounting of the first 100 years of the univer­ sity), “the bill to change its name passed the legislature on April 13, 1955 and was signed by Lieutenant Gov. Philip A. Hart on April 21.” The formal name of the school was “Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science.” The cen­ tennial yearbook announced the general graduating class of the second century of Michigan State — those of June 1955 — as the first to bear a university designation. In 1964, the final name change to “Michigan State Uni­ versity” was made. Students have almost forgotten that “Agriculture and Applied Sci­ ence” was ever on the end of Michigan State University. The more recognizable names of the university today are “State” and “MSU”. State Agricultural College has long been changed, but there still remains in the heart of every Spartan the pride, rich history, and continuous pro­ gress as before. by Angela Tansil Mark Barlow Psychology Susan Barney Advertising Joyce Barnhart Pre-Law Rochelle Baronick Social Work John Barrera Geology Holly Barrett Telecommunications Michael Barry Marketing Barbara Barth Mechanical Engineering Frederick Bartholomew Physiology Sharia Bartos Computer Science Laurie Bauer Statistics Todd Baum Biological Science John Bebes Accounting Margaret Becker Biology Julie Beckering Communications Elizabeth Beeman Audiology/Speech Pathology Rebecca Benko Medical Technology Deborah Bennett Biology R.

Konrad Broock Advertising Andrew Brooks Biology Jodette Brower Chemical Engineering Barbara Brown Advertising Gail Brown Social Work Main drag Grand River Grows Up Grand River Avenue: it was the main busi­ ness strip for East Lansing merchants and shoppers, a favorite hangout for college and high school stu­ dents, and an area in Michigan that had one of the highest num­ ber of both vehicle and pedes­ trian accidents. “Grand River was the main thoroughfare in East Lansing that connects Meridian Town­ ship with areas to the west,” said Chief Robert Foster, of the East Lansing Police Department. TODAY’S THREE LANES of traffic and No Parking signs make this shaded, Sep­ tember, 1945 scene along US-16 seem an­ cient. The trees and new commercial frontage along Grand River give a 1987 look to Jacobson’s and the old Lucon the­ atre. MSU Archives Jerrold Jacobson Commenting on the changes that have occurred over the years regarding the traffic of the street, Foster said, “The pace is more hurried for both vehicles and pedestrians. In today’s soci­ ety everyone is in a big hurry to do something.” It was easy to understand the chiefs concern over this increase in the pace of traffic. A quicker pace usually means a greater ac­ cident toll. “Safety measures, however, have increased. New traffic lights, added stop and yield signs, plus warning signals have all been added as needed,” said Foster. Paul Mires, co-owner of Leon G’s, Inc., was concerned about Grand River’s businesses. “I don’t think we have the pull into East Lansing that we used to,” he said. Mires believed that the economics of the nation was partly to blame. “There are less jobs for students today, which means that they have less money to spend.” When asked how students themselves, strolling along Grand River, have changed, continued BROWN — BRUNETTE Karen Brown Communication Karl Brown Telecommunications Katherine Brown Advertising Kenneth Brown Merchandising Management Lance Brown James Madison Mary Brown Elementary Education Sharon Brown Home Economics Education Tange Brown Telecommunications Michael Bruch Mathematics Kim Brunette Social Science MAIN DRAG Grand River Grows Up Mires face lit up. “I went to school in the sixties, when all the hippies were around. Today stu­ dents . . . have short hair and are clean shaven. It’s a pleasant change,” he concluded. Ray Walsh, of Curious Used Book Shop, was concerned about the drastic change from inde- pendantly run businesses to chain stores. “We’re losing a lot of our individuality,” he said, “Places like Wendy’s, Benetton, and Rite Aid are replacing the smaller, independantly owned and operated stores.” In terms of customer behav­ ior, Walsh didn’t think that it had changed much. When asked if people are any more rude than they used to be, he submitted, “No more than usual.” He quickly added, however, “I’m not particularly fond of skate­ boarders.” Strollers and shoppers also had ideas about how Grand Riv­ er has changed over the years. Rose M. Baker, a 1953 Michi­ gan State graduate and an artist currently living in East Lansing, said, “Sometimes, going down Grand River, I get the feeling that everybody is going to a cos­ tume party and that I wasn’t in­ vited. But, I think that they just have a good time dressing.” Grand River Avenue was a popular place for students and East Lansing residents to enjoy. It offered something for people of all ages whether it was shop­ ping at Jacobson’s or meeting friends for burgers and beer at Peanut Barrel. by Jerrold Jacobson IN 1951, STUDENTS bought their books at the Campus Book Store.

According to Maria Ladas, executive director of As­ sociated Students of Michigan State University, students were more self-directed than the stu­ dents of the 1970’s. “The 1980’s are much more conservative,” said Ladas. “With conservatism you don’t see much rallying, ac­ tivism or protesting. It’s a very individual view of things.” Students were considered less involved perhaps because they were compared with their prede­ cessors of the 1970s who were confronted with war. Unlike any other war involving the United States, the Vietnam War was not strongly supported by Am­ ericans. Mass demonstrations, protests and sit-ins all came about in the many attempts to thwart the war effort. The uni­ versities became “temples of dis­ cussion” for the students. By the late 1970’s we had withdrawn from Vietnam, an economic re­ cession had begun and students were more self-concerned. Dr. James D. Studer, assistant vice president for student af­ fairs, cited the ending of the war, the beginning of the recession continued MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS protest a 1979 legislative tuition increase at the State Capital in Lansing.

ACTIVISTS Students fight for issues and an increasing demand for consumer goods as reasons for this transition from socially ac­ tive to personally concerned stu­ dent behavior. “All of these things tended to direct the stu­ dent into a more individual path,” Studer said. Occasionally, student activ­ ists localized world problems in­ cluding the building of the shan­ ty in front of the Administration Building to confront officials with MSU’s involvement with apartheid. In regards to the ad­ ministration’s policy about such events Dr. Studer said, “We have no problem with controlled demonstrations. An uncontrol­ led demonstration would create a negative view rather than a positive one.” He did add that “.. . certain instructors do speak out about particular issues.” Studer cited South Africa, world hunger, pornography and drug testing on the job as major social issues of this decade in which there was some student partici­ pation. In terms of numbers, none of these issues drew very much stu­ dent support. For example, ASMSU made an attempt to ban Coca-Cola from the univer­ sity vending machines. The pur­ pose was to discourage this cor­ poration from maintaining their investments in South Africa, a nation accused of having a re­ pressive and racist government. Due to lack of enthusiasm from the student body, the campaign failed. A demonstration de­ nouncing pornography as de­ grading to women and in favor of making the showing of por­ nography illegal on campus also attracted little support. by Jerrold Jacobson COX — DANIELS Kim Cox Building Construction Mgt.

Leadership skills? These two together can bring only one distinct image to mind, ROTC. This image, though, almost always conjures up pictures of mud, fatigues, guns, and salutes. But, accord­ ing to Captain Paul M. Brady, ROTC was something much more. “I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. ROTC is re­ ally all about leadership.” These leadership skills re­ ceived a try-out Oct. 24 at the Ranger Challenge where cadets competed against others from eight other schools in Michigan offering ROTC. MSU came in second place, four points behind HELD IN the Big Ten Room of the Kellogg Center, the MSU ROTC Military Ball at­ tracted major military officials and their wives from across the state. Central Michigan University. “They did very well consider­ ing it was the first year of com­ petition,” said Captain Brady. “The cadets enjoyed it. It was a real leadership experience.” Competition was also held for the other extracurricular groups including the Pershing Rifles and the Spartan Guard, a sub­ group of the Pershing Rifles. 1984 marked their 100th an­ niversary, but ROTC as most people were familiar with was established around 1914. Mili­ tary Science has been with the university ever since the Morrill Act passed, giving each state land to build colleges in 1862. One provision incorporated in this act was for the college to of­ fer military tactics. This was mandatory for all male students until 1962. In 1973, the U.S. Army authorized the enrollment of women. “I think it started out as a nov­ elty and some of the first women that joined did so just because it was something new.

They were well-qualified, and take it seriously. Much of the old chauvinistic attitude to­ ward women in the Army has gone by the wayside.” “For me,” said Valintis, “as a female, ROTC has given me self-confidence and leadership skills, plus physical training. I hope to go to airborne this sum­ mer and later make a career out of the Army.” The program in 1986 had 25 percent women out of their 190 enrollment. One of their goals was to in­ still good study habits and atti­ tudes leading to higher achieve­ ment in civilian and military life. As juniors, they have a contract with the Army obligating them to serve eight years after they graduate. Then they also begin receiving their $100 a month al­ lowance. Scholarships may be competed for by the cadets, also. During the summer following their junior year, they attend a six-week Advanced Camp at Ft. Lewis, Washington which is a leadership development camp for cadets, one of the most im­ portant parts of their training. The cadets’ commissions, such as the medical field or artillery, are contingent upon receiving a degree with a major. “When I graduate,” said Grant, “I hope to be active as an officer in the Army and make a career out of it for 15 to 20 years.

Students had a wide variety of popular bars to select from including B’zar, Sen­ sations, Wayside Dooley’s, Out­ er Limits, Mac’s Bar, Rick’s American Cafe, and Silver Dol­ lar Saloon. A mere 19 years be­ fore, however, these places didn’t exist for students. Prior to November 5, 1968, East Lan­ sing was a dry city — no alcohol allowed. “Dagwood’s, Mother Lode, Coral Gables, Monty’s. There are all these old bars outside the city limits,” said East Lansing city representative Bob Owen. “I wonder why!” It was due to the East Lansing charter of 1917. Every new city must have a charter and into East Lansing’s was incorporated one regulation forbidding any al­ cohol within its limits. “I would estimate that there was 750 to 1,000 people here on our busiest nights,” said Coral Gables owner Alex Vanis. “But there was never any serious problems. Just a little of the usu­ al mischief.” Also, there wasn’t any trouble in East Lansing with the dry city regulation according to Owen. “Alcohol just was not allowed.” Coral Gables, now only a res­ taurant with banquet facilities, had strict requirements to enter because of East Lansing’s regu­ lations and their reputation. Pa­ trons had to be 21 and show two pieces of identification to enter. Gables also kept a list of offen­ ders. “We always had a live band every night, which was another reason a lot of kids came,” Vanis said. “I always enjoyed them. It was an older crowd, all over 21. A lot changed when the age re­ quirement dropped to 18. But, it was always interesting and fun.” On November 5, 1968, the people voted East Lansing to be a wet city and bars like Dooley’s and Outer Limits started, giving students a wider choice of Thursday night attractions.

Rights Minority groups continue fight When Myrtle Mow­ bray first walked through the cam­ pus of MSU, things were very different from what her experience would be today. Morrill Hall was the women’s building, the Administration building was next door, and the men’s dorms were in a row across the river where Wells Hall now stands. Myrtle Mowbray was Michi­ gan State’s first black graduate. She entered Michigan Agricul­ tural College in 1902 at the age of 20, and graduated with the class of 1907. “When I first entered, I thought the school to be a won­ derful place, so large already,” Mowbray said in a 1972 issue of MSU Alumni Magazine. She was one of four black students on campus and the only black wom­ an. According to a 1974 issue of The State News, Mowbray re­ called her earlier days as saying that she felt lucky to be one of the few black students who were able to go to college. “I didn’t feel different because of my race,” Mowbray said. “There were sororities for girls, but 1 was so poor, I didn’t have the time or money for those things.” Because she spent much of her time with classes, Mowbray did not have much time for anything else. At that time, all female stu­ dents took the same courses, called Women’s Course. The curriculum took five years to complete and was geared to make the women good wives and mothers. In those days the Women’s Course was considered a liberal education. After completion of her edu­ cation, Mowbray taught in high schools and colleges in Missouri for many years. She died in No­ vember, 1974, 26 years after her retirement, while in her early 90s. Myrtle Mowbray may have been the first black female grad­ uate of MSU, but the first black male graduate did not come un­ til nine years later. Gedeon Ed­ ward Smith, from Princess Anne, Maryland, was the first black male graduate. He gradu­ ated in 1916 from the college of agriculture after serving on MAC’s football team for three years. From that time on, blacks continued to make up less than 10 percent of MSU’s total stu­ dent population. In fall, 1986, that number translated as a re­ ported 2488 registered students.

As a result of these concerns, the university finally devised programs to meet the needs of minority students. By the late ’60s, more and more opportunities began to open for blacks and other minorities. One of the first services to ar­ rive on the scene was the Minori­ ty Aide Program. In 1969, this program was established to meet the needs of minority students. The program consisted of a staff of trained undergraduate stu­ dents assisting incoming stu­ dents with their adjustment to campus life. Today, upon arriving at the residence hall, minority students are greeted by minority aides. According to Murray Edwards, a coordinator for the Minority Aide Program, presently there are 33 black aides, 5 Hispanic Aides, and 2 Native American aides to cover the spectrum of minority students on campus. “There is at least one minority aide designated to each dorm,” Edwards said. “The aides also take on the job of being a role model for other minority stu­ dents.” Another support unit is the Office of Supportive Services, which was established around the same time as the Minority Aide Program. Its purpose also is to assist over 3700 minority students with their stay at MSU as well as provide workshops and offer tutorial services.

Ac­ tivities to broaden awareness and celebrate heritage are planned and carried out by the organizations. These special units were de­ vised to help minority students get through the university suc­ cessfully. A minority student’s social life, however, is almost as important as his academic life. Well, just about. Mowbray once said that an in­ active social life did not bother her. But today’s students see things differently. Minority stu­ dents get involved in as much as they can at MSU. “This is my fifth year here and I have been a minority aide, reorganized the MSU chapter of the NAACP, participated in Women in Com­ munications, and am presently doing an internship with the Wharton Center,” said Kim Partee, a communications se­ nior. “I always make time for ex­ tracurricular activities.” Stu­ dents do not even have to look beyond their residence halls for support. Minority caucuses were formed in the early ’70s to help promote political and social awareness among students. Ac­ cording to Edwards, there are presently 19 caucuses on the MSU campus. Black Greek organizations are also very popular on the MSU campus. Students are fa­ miliar with their public service programs and “ice breakers” which are usually at the begin­ ning of each year. Most of all, students are familiar with the so­ cializing and competition that brings together the pledges of black fraternities and sororities on spring afternoons at the con­ course between north and south Kedzie halls. The times have changed since those first days when Myrtle Mowbray entered the university. Of those students who reported their ethnicity, 632 students reg­ istered for fall term of 1986 were Asian Pacific students, 495 were Hispanic, and 123 declared themselves to be Native Ameri­ cans. Based on an overall enroll­ ment of 41,897, the percentages are, although low, increasing. When asked in the interview with the MSU Alumni Maga­ zine what advice would she give a black woman today, Mowbray said, “I’d tell her to get as much education as possible, and push for more, although remaining a bit satisfied with the way things are today. She should try to do the best she can and excel as much as she can, aspiring to any­ thing a white woman aspires, too.” One woman who has fulfilled those goals is senior mathemat­ ics major Kim Dew. She is the first black woman who has been chosen to represent MSU as Homecoming Queen in recent history. “I was happy and excit­ ed that I had been selected to be MSU’s Homecoming Queen for 1986.” Dew said. “I believe that I was selected on the basis of my qualifications and not because I was black. Hopefully I will en­ courage other minorities to go after things like this.” by Angela Tansil THE SEX BARRIER in the MSU Army ROTC was broken in 1973 with the addi­ tion of three women to the group. BLACK ACTIVIST Sam Riddle, in a 1971 strike rally at Beaumont Tower calls for black unity and self fulfillment.

This declaration of what came to be known as the “People’s Park” was nailed to a tree in the grassy area between Wells Hall and the International Center. It was “trust and common feeling” that originally created the park on April 25, 1970, after a Festi­ val of Life at Case Hall. More than one hundred MSU students gathered on the first night of the park’s existence, bringing a spirit of unity to spend the night under the star- filled sky. Their newly created liberated zone on campus “for people to get together” soon became a per­ manent resident site by week’s end. Meals were cooked over campfires and funds were often collected for supplies and uten­ sils. After the park tenants sur­ vived the first week, which brought two tornado warnings and a couple of thunderstorms, they opted to preserve their tent community for the remainder of the spring term. For the park residents, it was a “scene of peace and love, to smoke, rap and play games.” To less liberal observers People’s Park was “a dirty disgrace,” re­ ported the 1971 Wolverine. Despite threats of eviction for violating university ordinance, the population of the park grew at times to over five hundred free-spirited individuals. This popularity eventually forced the addition of a second site near Owen Hall in mid-May. HOUSTON — JANTZ Pamela Houston Public Agriculture Mgt.

The possibility of assembling another People’s Park was not very great. According to Dr. James Studer, assistant vice president for student affairs, the recurrance of such a park was not possible since the university had adopted ordinance codes which are more defined and re­ strictive of student camping. by Michelle Morgan Wolverine TO THE DISSATISFACTION of adminis­ trators, students camp out in the People’s Park, a tent community created in 1970.

Founded in 1855, Michigan Agricultural College graduated its first bachelors of science in 1861. Requirements for matric­ ulation included: three years of Chemistry, one of Physics and Physiology, two years of English and one each of History, Philoso­ phy and Political Economy. One of the colleges to benefit from the Morrill Act of 1855, MAC received a quarter of a million acres of land. The time of great land exploitation, how­ ever, would not come about until 1941 — the beginning of John A. Hannah’s distinguished pres­ idency. Hannah set high goals for his new school. His vision of the school’s future as well as his phi­ losophy of team work were both reflective of these goals. “From the first day of my presidency, the objective was to get the whole university working to­ gether,” he said. Open communication within the administration was main­ tained by “The Administrative Group,” created by Hannah. Deans and principal administra­ tors kept each other in tune with major changes and minor errors. A reorganization in 1952 con­ solidated undergraduate work into four departments: Ameri­ can Thought and Language, Natural Science, Social Science and Humanities. This curricu­ lum has not changed. The 1960’s ushered in social, racial, educational and political “pressure issues.” Among the great advancements during the decade were: a new research wing in the main library, tele­ vised lectures, classes and labo­ ratories in the residence halls and the appointment of a univer­ sity ombudsman (the first on any American campus) to defend students against the university continuec MORRILL HALL, built in 1900 honors Vermont congressman Justin Morrill, au­ thor of the Morrill Land-Grant Act.

The 1970’s witnesses continu­ ing change, but it was relatively peaceful as opposed to the turbu­ lent 1960’s. The appointment of a faculty grievance officer clari­ fied the protection available to teaching assistants as well as to instructors. Supportive services were set up for the young who had previously been turned away from college, and for those who were beyond the traditional col­ lege age. Tremendous advancements in technology, science, research and communication arts have characterized the 1980’s. Shar­ on Shwab, Coordinator of Un­ dergraduate Education in the Department of Advertising, boasted about the School of Ad­ vertising. “The Advertising Association is involved in an advertising campaign featuring the Chevy Cavalier,” she said. “Also, the Public Relations Student Soci­ ety of America is working on a public relations campaign for Levi’s 501 Blue Jeans. These campaigns give students the op­ portunity to experience some of the things in which they may be involved come graduation,” Shwab added. Advertising is not the only place of impressive progression. The packaging program was the first degree-granting packaging school in the world. The school sponsored internships, visiting professionals from industry and government and a special Inter­ national Conference on Packag­ ing. The College of Veterinarian Medicine is the only one of its kind in the state of Michigan. “It is competitive,” said dean and professor of Pathology Dr. John Tasker. “Usually, students take three or four years of under­ graduate work, must have a high grade point, do well on the Medi­ cal College Admissions Test (MCAT) and score high on the personal interview in order to be accepted.” The impressive list goes on. The 14 colleges have each made significant changes, are in the process of growth and look for­ ward to the possibilities of the future. The constant progression of the university continues to de­ light it’s inhabitants, impress it’s visitors and draw strangers from all over the world. by Jerrold Jacobson KURRIE — LAPINSKI Peter Kurrie Finance Marie Kuszewski Interior Design Carl Kutch Elementary Education Cynthia Kutchey English John Kwapis Mechanical Engineering Boutheina Kzadri Engineering Anne LaBeau Urban Planning Erin Lacey Journalism Maria Ladas James Madison Andrew Ladwig Agriculture Lynne Lafalce Merchandising Management Denise LaFave Child Dev./Teaching Michelle Laforet Physiology Lisa LaHaie Psychology William Lakos Computational Mathematics Lisa Lamb Microbiology Wendy Lamphere Accounting Timothy Lamphier Accounting Steven Landuyt Political Science Evan Lapinski Psychology THE EUGENE C.

The ulti­ mate grudge rivals. Said MSU defense tackle Mark Nichols, “Basically, they’re the same, nice guys, same as here. You’re friends with them, but when the game starts, they’re Michigan. You don’t look at the face, you look at the color of the uniform.” When did this archrivalry be­ gin? Michigan took the first match against the then Michi­ gan Agricultural College in 1898 with a score of 39-0. In 1902, the Wolverines won again, racking up an embarrassing score of 119-0. RIVALRY IS A timeless part of MSU’s history. Band members chase each other carrying MSU and U"M flags during half­ time of the 1972 football game. Pat Schurmer, Spartan cen­ ter, declared, “All other games are fine, but this is one of the greatest rivalries there is. There is no higher joy than beating Michigan.” That joy came first for the Spartans in 1913, when they conquered UM by five points, with a 12-7 score. 1915 was a notable year for MAC. With a score of 24-0, the Spartans shut out the Wolver­ ines for the first time. Jerry De­ Prato, MSU’s first All-Ameri­ can player, scored all 24 points by making three touchdowns, three extra points, and a field goal. At that time the “MSU Fight Song” hadn’t come into existence yet, so the Aggies’ ROTC band played “The Vic­ tors” for the benefit of an al­ ready unhappy Ann Arbor crowd. continued Wolverine LYTLE — MALONEY Mark Lytle Political Science Edward Lyzenga Personnel Management Clark MacAlpine Personnel Administration Michelle Machala Merchandising Management Karin Mack Audiology and Speech Science Nancy Mack Marketing Joseph Macksood Marketing Thomas Maitland Comm unica tions Mark Malin Forestry Michelle Maloney Personnel COLORCLASHES Michigan Rivalry rages on A record crowd of 19,800 at­ tended the 1924 game, to wit­ ness the dedication of the new Spartan Stadium.

End Frank Gains said, “I’ve been able to say for the rest of my life that I grad­ uated from Michigan State after playing three years of football against Michigan, and beating them every year. Hardly anyone will believe me.” the Spartans arrived in the Ann Arbor locker room to find all the sewage lines backed up — and it went downhill from there. Michigan shutout MSU 55-0. Bo Schembechler’s first game against the Spartans came in 1969, and his team was favored by six points. Duffy Daugherty took Schembechler by surprise, however, switching from the veer-option to the traditional I formation. The Spartans were victorious, giving Daugherty a 10-4-2 record against the Wol­ verines. It was the one and only time he was to win over Schem­ bechler. THE SPARTANS SCORE their first touchdown in their first victory against the University of Michigan in 1913. The final score was a close 12-7. Coach Biggie Munn’s memo­ rable year came in 1937, when George Perles made his debut as an MSU coach in 1983, and Wolverine MALONEY — MCGRAW was soundly trounced by a score of 42-zip. Perles made a great comeback in 1984 as the Spar­ tans beat the Wolverines 19-7 in Ann Arbor. The game’s high­ light was Bobby Morse’s return of an 87-yard punt for a touch­ down. This was the last time the Wolverines have lost to MSU at home. This year the Spartans played the Wolverines before the sec­ ond largest crowd the Michigan Stadium had ever seen. Alas, it was before 106,141 screaming fans that the Maize and Blue walloped the Green and White 27-6.

The band contributed to the festive mood by playing spir­ ited songs. The Junior Hop was a serious occasion. Students transformed the ballroom with tropical trees and artificial stars. The band played a combination of slow and fast songs, while tuxedo­ clad figures swung their dates around the dance floor. Sunday afternoons the band held open air concerts. Students took advantage of the break in studying to come outdoors and listen. Local residents also crowded near the band shell to hear a variety of sacred selec­ tions and conventional marches. The band’s involvement in athletic events was sparked by the introduction of football. The half-time show provided an op­ portunity to display creativity and hard work within the band. Although the early shows did not possess the glitz of the eighties band, the crowd loved it and applauded. Success of the College Band was directly related to their gen­ uine spirit. Their willingness to put forth a positive attitude is the most important tradition carried by the band. Kristin Miller, senior music education, said “Spirit is direct­ ed different ways.” The band responds to a situation in the most positive manner. At foot­ ball games they generated ex­ citement, whether the Spartans were winning or losing. The total performance of the band was a combination of a spectacular half-time show and sideline performances.

The band in the past participat­ ed in many traditional activities, including pep rallys and athletic events. This was not always their purpose, however. The original Cadet Corp Band formed in June 1884, as an ex­ tension of the military depart­ ment. Their only function was to lead regiment parades. Despite the relatively small size of the band, they received high ratings from government inspection. Originally numbering ten to twenty members, the band expe­ rienced continual growth. Ex­ panding numbers pushed the band into a structural change. The name was changed to the College Band and they became independent of the military. This drastic change allowed the band to become more involved in so­ cial and athletic events. One popular event was called The Barbecue. According to the 1911 Wolverine, students gathered around a raging bon­ A TRUMPET PLAYER performs from the spirit section of the football stands.

As the band geared up for the first performance, members were informed of the strict dress code: no jewelry, make-up, fing­ ernail polish and hair length must be above the collar. The ul­ timate goal was to have each in­ dividual look alike. Following the first football game, freshmen were allowed to wear the traditional deep green band jacket. The wool jacket bears the official logo and any other related patch of the indi­ viduals choice. It is a symbol, “to let people know you made it,” said Jenny Stogner, a freshman music therapy major. In January the marching band celebrated its final event. “The Huddle,” said chemistry fresh­ man Will Brown, “is a semi-for- mal dinner is which the band commences the marching sea­ son.” Members relax with cock­ tails and socialize with one an­ other. After dinner was served, mock awards were handed out and the rest of the evening was danced away. Individuals will go back to their various schedules, only to return in a few months to repeat the whole process. The traditions continued just as the band kept marching on. by Linda Brush they were “worthless” and in need of “a little help.” To be an official member of the band, one had to earn the right. Freshmen were distinguished by bright red name tags. Another tradition occurred at mealtimes. Freshmen were called upon to serve meals and bus tables.

Mgt Full Circle Hemlines rise and fall Since the beginning, fashion has whole­ heartedly enlight­ ened the look of MSU students. Women’s clothing, in particular, has left its own im­ pression on MSU coeds. The dis­ play of interchangeable styles has proceeded throughout the years as skirts and dresses have been raised and lowered many times over. On MSU’s campus, fashion is perhaps as equally representative of the past as mu­ sic. According to a 1956 fall issue of The State News, the soft cash- mere sweaters combined with casually styled, below the knee skirts was a big part of women’s fashions during that decade, while rock ‘n’ roll and Elvis Pres­ ley left a lasting impression on students. This decade stressed versatility and practicality. FASHION STYLES CAME full circle in the 1980s, reflecting the styles of the 1950s and 1960s. Elizabeth Loomis, merchandis­ ing management senior wears clothing reminiscent of past generations, sporting a cardigan sweater, a longer hemlined skirt and blucher moccasins. The ’60s brought what was called the “heather look.” Ac­ cording to a ’60s issue of The State News, this look was popu­ larized and effectively used when combined with matching knee socks. The jersey knit tur­ tleneck tops were also high on the list of fashions — much the same as they are today. Female students of the ’80s seem to have recaptured that “total look” of the ’60s. “I just love wearing tur­ tleneck shirts with big, bold earrings and bracelets as acces­ sories to go with my skirts,” Bri- gette Jones, a marketing sopho­ more said. In the ’70s, skirt hems dropped. And unlike the sixties, mini skirts were on their way out. At this time, coeds enjoyed the liberal attitudes held over from the previous decade while also enjoying freedom of choice of what to wear or not to wear; bright colors and bold print were just signs of the times. The ’80s brought a new found patriotism. People loved Ameri- continued ORZEL — PARDALES Raymond Orzel James Madison Int’l Rel.

These stars had a great impact on student fashions. Sud­ denly, there seemed to be a need to dress in paisley shirts, lace dresses, and torn sweatshirts. What is so remarkable about the fashions of 1986 is that they are a conglomeration of styles taken from the past and revived to fit the student needs of today. One store that is aware of the changes in women’s apparel is Jacobson’s department store. This store has existed in East Lansing for almost 60 years. “Many of the styles today have revolved from past styles,” said Phyllis Rosenberger, the adver­ tising manager. “Some styles can even be traced as far back as the 1920s. For example, the mid-calf length skirts that are so casually worn on campus today were initially worn by women in the 1920s.” For the most part, what is be­ ing seen on the MSU campus is a rejuvenation of femininity. “Female students are buying more casual dresses and skirts today than they were perhaps ten years ago,” Laurie O’Neal, assistant manager of Paradise said. “Women seem to feel good about femininity again because now there is an option.” “Today the look is more re­ laxed,” said Shelly Goodchild, an international relations senior. “Now we can wear a skirt to a party and feel comfortable just as we can in a pair of Levi’s and a t-shirt.” One good thing about the “femininity look” is that males find it to be a great change. “I would like to continue to see more legs in the future,” Andy Needham, an advertising senior said. “Besides, women look great in dresses.” THE CASUAL PREPPY look has been around for quite some time. Journalism freshman Liz Krebs said she felt comfort­ able in her faded blue jeans, untucked white oxford and crewneck sweater.

And instead of going to a vintage clothing store, students find that their parents’ old clothes are just as good. “The ol­ der my parents’ clothes, the more stylist they are,” said In- drea Griffen, a pre-med sopho­ more.

There are no exact totals for the number of people that died in each war. However, rec­ ords show that men have proudly represented MSU when their country called. The establishment of the first military school in 1863 met with resistence by the president T.C. Abbot. He had felt that there was no reason for military train­ ing to be included in the curricu­ lum. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps unit was estab­ lished in 1917. It was met with more approval than the first mil­ itary program and eventually a second Student Army Training Corps unit was established for the specialized instruction of of­ ficer training. Each of the 600 men who enlisted were inducted into the Army and were required to take 11 hours of military in­ struction per week. However, the training unit was never given a chance, as a flu epidemic struck and men were put in quarantine. 18 men died from influenza. By the time the quarantine was lift­ ed on Nov. 7, Armistice for the ending of World War I was signed, according to the Centen­ nial of Michigan State College, 1955. Students seemed to become more aware of WWII and its im­ pact on the East Lansing campus when Pearl Harbor was bombed. By winter term, male students rushed to cram fun and four years of college into a short time period before being called into service. The Centennial of Michigan State College, 1955, stated that the campus settled down when President John Hannah calmed the students with the following message: “Civilization isn’t go­ ing to be wiped out by this war. Not a time for despair but for maximum effort, for accelerated preparation to serve in war and peace.” With that, students be­ gan to organize voluntary classes in Arabic and Japanese, Morse continued BOLD PROTESTS and campaigns to in­ form students about the Vietnam War were common in the early 1970’s.

Altogether, more than 6,000 alumni and former students entered the armed ser­ vices on WWII. 300 MSC alum­ ni students died and over 1,000 received medals and citations. By 1943, male enrollment had decreased and women outnum­ bered men 3 to 1. As a result, women took over where the men left off. The female students quickly earned the positions of Perhaps because World War II had a sense of purpose, all stu­ dents were active in doing their part to aid Americans to victory. In the 1943 “Wolverine,” there are pictures of a victory forum, silk and nylon stocking drives, even voluntary beet-pulling where students would go in for a half-day session of pulling and topping stacks of the beet crop. In the 1945 “Wolverine,” Spartina, a female counterpart to Sparty was created. Since Sparty went off to do his duty, Spartina was his loyal girlfriend who carried on the traditions of MSC while keeping Sparty in­ formed via long letters. Things were completely dif­ ferent when the Vietnam con­ flict was declared and the United States became involved. Students actively protested against the war, even to the point of setting fire to a colonel’s office and throwing stones at windows in Demonstration Hall. Com­ pared to WWII, students were active in participating against, rather than for, the war. The “State News” disclosed on May 6, 1970 this editorial policy statement: “We must strike. We must demonstrate to Nixon, Ag­ new, and Co. our disfavor with Cambodia and Kent State. In­ deed the Kent State incident, in which four students were killed by military guardsmen, served as a catalyst for student outcry. Major Michael L. Poumade, a cadet at MSU during the violent years, recalled the Kent State tragedy as a marked beginning of student protest. Major Poum­ ade doesn’t remember any vio­ lence directed toward him, only at the Demonstration Building. He also recalled Teach-ins, where classes were suspended for one day and anti-war presen­ tations on such topics as “abolishing ROTC” and “refusing military recruiters on campus” were held. MSU students have been there when their country needed them, yet there are very few me­ morials honoring those who have served. One that still stands is the copse of red oak trees, one tree for each life given, planted in honor of each MSC student who lost his life in WWI.

Michael Shaw Agriculture Engineering Tech Renee Sheehy Advertising/Marketing Tradition Guarding Campus for 42 years Born in the mind of former athletic director Ralph Young in 1932, the Spartan statue or “Sparty” has since become a symbol of institutional pride and a proud image of reference for Michigan State University. While visiting the campus of the University of Southern Cali­ fornia in Los Angeles, Young spotted a huge statue of a Tro­ jan. Impressed with the idea of having a representative statue for the university’s campus, the athletic director introduced the same idea to Michigan State of­ ficials. Although the project failed to take off that year, the idea lived on. In 1943, University president John A. Hannah asked professor of art Leonard Jungwith to de­ sign and build a representative statue for Michigan State Uni­ versity. UNVEILED IN 1945, “Sparty” has re­ mained a central figure of the university. It was originally designed to stand for State’s athletic prowess. With his full load in the art department and instructing ca­ dets in Physics, Jungwith found spare time to create the statue. A problem arose when it was dis­ covered that because of the great height of the ceramic, the kiln temperature varied from top to bottom, giving the 10'6" statue a stripped coloring. A lead glaze was created in order to equalize the temperature. Finally, on June 9, 1945, the Spartan statue was unveiled. As for the name “Spartan”, credit must be given to George S. Aiderton, former sports editor of the Lansing State Journal. In 1925, the year Michigan State College replaced the name Michigan Agricultural College, Aiderton decided that “Michigan Stater’s” was too cumbersome for newspaper writing. While the baseball team was in the south that year, Aiderton began rewriting game leads sent continued SHEERAN — SHYU Joseph Sheeran Communications Loriene Sheffer Therapeutic Recreation John Shephard Finance Beth Sherman Merchandising Management Valerie Sherwood Therapeutic Recreation Lori Shifman Communications Paul Shiner Telecommunications Wendy Shirilla Humanities Suzanne Shupe Advertising Nancy Shyu Mathematics TRADITION Guarding Campus for 42 years from Fort Benning, Georgia.

What we as young men and women should be aspiring to. It means approach­ ing life in a very positive way.” Dr. Daniel Jacobson, profes­ sor of Education and Geogra­ phy, also held the statue in high esteem. “Sparty represents ev­ erything the university stands for. That means all of the land grant tradition. This means re­ search, teaching and service. It also represents the strength of the university community. This you can feel as you pass it by.” by Jerrold Jacobson are other universities that have Spartan’s as their title, but only Michigan State has the Spartan statue,” he added. Since 1945, “Sparty” has be­ come more than just another statue. It represents a tradition of university excellence, distin­ guishes Michigan State Univer­ sity from other universities, and is a proud image of reference for alumni, instructors, students and the East Lansing communi­ Terry Denbow, assistant vice president of university relations and director of public relations, said, “It is one of the few contin­ uing things on this campus.

This was done to insure that Michigan Agricultural Col­ lege would never forget the Class of 1873. The Rock has endured, and currently rests across Farm Lane from Bessey Hall. The Rock is a prominent broadcaster of student graffiti. Even more importantly, the Rock repre­ sents the birth of a tradition of giving senior class gifts. The tradition got off to a slow start, and it wasn’t until 1978 that the Senior Class Council began a fund raising drive which made the contribution of a pres­ tigious gift an annual event. In that year, the senior class donat­ ed the bronze Spartan “S” which is in front of the Adminis­ tration Building. The following year, the benches which adorn the banks of the Red Cedar River were the contribution of the graduating seniors. In 1980, a bust of former MSU president John A. Hannah was presented to the University. The bust is now displayed in the Administration Building. The concept of financing a se­ nior class gift took a quantitative leap in 1981. That year the Se­ nior Class Council implemented a long-range fundraising drive continued THE CLASS GIFT of 1873 got a new home in 1986. The huge rock was moved from its spot near Beaumont Tower to Farm Lane Bridge to prevent damage to trees by over-anxious painters.

An endowment fund was be­ gun by the senior class of 1985. Interest generated from this fund will finance a series of guest lectures on leadership related to­ pics presented by prominent speakers. In addition, $5,000 was donated to MSU’s annual plantings fund, designed to pre­ serve the campus’ beautiful flower gardens and plants. In 1986, $5,000 was again do­ nated to the annual plantings fund. This senior class also fund­ ed the furnishings and decora­ tions of the 1986 Room, a con­ ference room located in the Jack Breslin Student Events Center. The arena is due to be completed in 1988.

Mark Wetherbee Marketing A Legend Lash raises a ruckus There are certain inan­ imate objects situat­ ed throughout cam­ pus which symbolize MSU - the statue of Sparty is one of them, Beaumont Tower is another. In terms of people who are synonomous with the University more than a few names come to mind. But, one name stands out from the rest - Lash Larrowe. Larrowe, a professor emeritus of economics, began his teaching career at MSU in September 1956 on a joint appointment through the labor school and economics department. “During my early years at Michigan State many things were different than they are to­ day,” Larrowe said. “Back then there were only about 20,000 students, and policies were more strict.” He recalled regulations which required women to be inside dorms by 11 p.m., and strictly C.

Over the years, Larrowe gain­ ed notoriety at MSU and the surrounding community for his outspoken nature and confronta­ tions with the administration. Since 1971, he has written a weekly column for The State News focusing on international, national and local issues. Larrowe also published a book, “Lashing Out: the best of Lash Larrowe.” On May 1, 1986, his 70th birthday, Larrowe filed a law­ suit and injunction against MSU challenging the University’s mandatory retirement policy. More recently, Larrowe found himself in court battling the University over the showing of pornographic films in University classrooms.

After enjoying a great deal of success in previous years, the football team ended the sea­ son with a disappointing 6-5 record, and shat­ tered dreams of a bowl invitation. Senior, strong safety Dean Altobelli, how­ ever, proved that Spartan athletes were top grade. Altobelli boasted a 3.9 GPA in mechani­ cal engineering and was a Rhodes Scholar can­ didate. Despite impressive performances by se­ nior co-captain Darryl Johnson, the men’s bas­ ketball team suffered its worst season in Judd Heathcote’s career at MSU. It was a year of firsts for the women’s soc­ cer team. The newly formed varsity sport en­ joyed a winning season with an impressive 15- 4-2 record. Hockey coach Ron Mason had a lot to cel­ ebrate. Mason, who led the leers to the NCAA title in 1986, chalked up win 500 on Jan. 17 against Chicago. He had one of the best coach­ ing records in the nation.

The women’s soccer team ended a three-year fight, which included two rejections from the MSU Athletic Council, and became an MSU varsity sport — probably the most im­ portant win of their fledgling season. The April 1985 approval marked the first new addition to the MSU sports program since the addition of la­ crosse in 1970. The new varsity team began their practice for the first season in January 1986, under the watchful eye of Coach Joe Baum, a 10-year veteran coach of men’s varsity soccer at MSU. “All win­ ter the 18-woman team practiced in­ doors, followed by an extensive 10- week spring training session, Baum said. “The transition to varsity stature was an easy one,” he added. “I knew quite a few of these players. The transition was real nice — there was no initial tense ‘let’s get to know each other’s feelings,” Baum said. The team — the only varsity wom­ en’s soccer team in the Big Ten besides Wisconsin—finished off with an “excellent season,” Baum said, with a record of 15-4-2, and a seventh-place ranking in the Central NCAA region. Aside from the wins, Baum cited other benefits. “We established our foundation,” he said, adding high school player in­ terest increased because of the high Women’s soccer in non-varsity form has been at MSU for about 10 years, Baum estimated, and said the fight to become a varsity sport was led by captains Julie Gnau and Caroline Trout. “They were the hardest-working people behind it, although it’s hard to put a finger on a single person — they were the guiding light,” Baum said. As far as disadvantages were con­ cerned, Baum said the loss of senior forward Tina Gallindo to a hip injury was a setback. “I admired her courage,” Baum said, adding Gallindo played on and off throughout the season although she was in considerable pain. The season’s most memorable mo­ ment was a game against Southern Illi­ nois University at Edwardsville — ranked above MSU’s team and in the top-20 — when MSU pulled out all the stops in a team effort and won 2-0. “It was a unique setup,” Baum said. The game actually was played at the University of Indiana, because the teams are nine hours apart, so they split the distance, playing in Indiana. Also the team had just taken a loss at the hands of Kalamazoo College two days earlier, when they had beaten them about a month earlier in the sea­ son. The team was “down in the dumps,” Baum said, making the win that much nicer. by Barb Isaacs WOMEN’S SOCCER: Front Row, Shelly Jesmore, Kristin DeWall, Laura LeDuc, Julie Gnau, Cindy Youngerman, Renee Richert, Kathy Meagher, Jill Cleveland, Leasa Klix, Lisa Leonard.

The team enjoyed setting a school record of 13 wins for the second consec­ utive season. In addition, 1,000 - 1,500 specta­ tors showed up for their big games. Pretty impressive when you consider they have no promotional budget, Head Coach Joe Baum said. Last year was the team’s best sea­ son since the team’s first appearance in 1956 - this year they equalled their suc­ cess. “We have been ranked regionally every season for the past seven years,” Baum said.” MSU is respected as a good, solid soccer school.” This year the team was ranked ninth in the NCAA Mid-East Regional Conference. While he is content with the men’s soccer team’s current success, Baum admitted that his long-term goal is to attain a national ranking. ter, N.Y. areas. However, since soccer is a non­ revenue producing sport, players are only given partial scholarships, he added. “But, my players are just a shade below the Olympic level,” Baum said proudly. According to Baum, team work is an important ingredient of the team’s success. The team is made up of a crop of many good players, instead of just a few stars, he continued. “Our team doesn’t revolve around just one person - there is no jealousy among the players,” Baum said.” These men are recruited from top high school programs. They think like win­ ners and play like winners. Because of this they are able to carry on the great MSU soccer tradition.” Key wins for the team included a 1-0 victory over Notre Dame at home and a 1-0 win over Wisconsin at Mil­ waukee. Both schools have very fine programs, Baum said. “Every good program shoots for a national ranking - where all of the at­ tention is,” he added. “Probably the most satisfying game was a 1-1 tie with St. Louis - the super-soccer school,” he added. This year’s team, which boasted 30 players, was made up of 75 percent returning players. Most players for the team are re­ cruited from high schools with top soc­ cer programs, Baum said.

Riney said that the long hours of training and early mornings did more for a crew member than just prepare him for the race. “Crew gives me an overall better outlook on school,” she said. “I must give 100 percent to all as­ pects to maintain my grades and keep very intense in my training.” In the August Regat­ ta, the most important race of the year, the men’s heavyweight eight placed fourth overall which boos­ ted the team’s morale. “We were quite hap­ py with placing so high in this event,” said sopho­ more Freeman Gunnell. “We put a lot of hard work into training and it finally paid off.” In the Wisconsin Re­ gatta, the championship race for the Midwest, the women’s team placed first in the finals and the men’s team finished fourth.

MAKING THE FINAL heave to place their prac­ tice shell in the water, crew members make the most of early morning hours in preparation for the Michigan regatta. A stroke of dedication team placed first in the lightweight novice race while the men placed first in the heavyweight division and second in the novice race. The MSU crew was a totally self-funded organization. Money, to keep the crew afloat, was raised through a variety of fundraisers, Crew members netted approxi­ mately $3000 by sponsoring bar nights at Rick’s American Cafe, 224 Abbott Road, a raffle and good old- fashioned hard work. During hockey season, crew members cleaned Munn Ice Arena after each game and earned approxi­ mately $2,000. Despite the amount of funds raised, much of the costs of participa­ tion had to come out of member’s pockets. Most races were held out of state and members occasionally end­ ed up paying part of the $60-per-boat fee as well as the cost of gas, food and lodging. According to Riney, crew was very popular during the 1960’s, but nearly died out during the 1970’s. In 1980 it began to gain popu­ larity and attracted more members and is becoming an even bigger at­ traction at MSU. by La Vern Pennington PUSHING THE FINAL yards to the finish of their 6am morning run, women’s team members near completion of their on-water practice.

An improvement from the year before (4-12-3). to pull together and win. “We beat the teams we were sup­ posed to, and lost to the teams we were supposed to,” fifth-year head coach Rich Kimball said. “We need to get a stronger offense to beat (the teams we lost to).” A better offense? The offense scored a total of 82 points, a tremen­ dous improvement over last year’s total of 19. But, the improvements just were not enough. The offense was led by the return of Mary Jo Cuppone, scoring nine goals and two assists which gave her 20 points. Kathy Cronkite (6,3,15), Stephanie Allans (4,3,11), Wendy Clark (4,2,10), and Liz Haas (3,4,10) provided the rest of the offensive pow­ er. The defense was solid, as solid they could have been. Giving testimony to this fact were personal honors such as All-Big Ten sweeper Leslie King, Second Team Regional All-American midfielder Beth Schmitt, and Second Team All-Big Ten goalkeeper Barb Naylor after earning a first team slot last year. “We thought we could have done better,” Kimball said. “We were opti­ mistic going into the season. We were looking for a winning record and it all came down to the last game of the sea­ son (a double-overtime tie to Ohio State).” The nine losses were anything but unexpected, however, as eight of the losses came from teams that were rank­ ed in the top 20. The outlook for next year’s team was optimistic, Kimball said. A good recruiting season and a strong corps of returning players should prove for a successful campaign in the 1987 sea­ son. Five seniors were lost, and they were tough to lose. Stephanie Allans, Wendy Clark, Mary Jo Cuppone, Les­ lie King, and Barb Naylor, all letter winners for four years at MSU, gradu­ ated. Winning was not everything. The Field Hockey team learned from their mistakes and remained positive about the future. Their goals remained the same - a winning season is all that the team wanted. by Patrick Kessler SCOREBOARD Won: 9. Lost: 9.

GRITTING HER TEETH and searching for a final burst of energy, Michelle Roper kicks into over­ drive at the Oct. 18 MSU Invitational meet. AS A WESTERN MICHIGAN runner attempts to catch up, Jeff Neal and Joe Mihalic move into the final leg of their 5 mile race. The men’s team’s best showing was a first place finish at the Purdue Invi­ tational where all six runners finished in the top ten of the competition. Runners stick together Plagued with injuries, they placed ninth and tenth out of ten at the Big Ten Championships, and were forced to rely on younger runners to pull them through the season. Although both the men’s and women’s cross country teams lacked experience this time around, the mem­ bers did display a remarkable sense of unity and patience in seasons that could only be termed dissatisfying. “I’d definitely say injuries were the main weakness of the team. We didn’t have people to replace people,” said women’s coach, Karen Dennis. Vanessa Thompson was one of the disappointed and injured members of the women’s team. “I think I ran awful. I couldn’t work out the full six or seven days a week.” Mary Shea, another runner for the women’s team, blamed part of the problem on the five man spread. “The difference between the first place fin­ isher to the fifth place finisher was too far.” “We didn’t do very well at all; it was a really disappointing season,” said Jim Stintzi, coach of the men’s team, “We had two injuries, and we were re­ lying on walk ons.” Men’s team member and top run­ ner Keith Hanson attributed the weak­ ness of the team, in part, to a “lack of experience. We had too many young runners.” Hanson’s teammate, Mark De­ ford, agreed. “We’re a young team. Most of our runners are sophomores and freshmen. They weren’t exposed to the training — they get injured and worn out sooner.” Deford went on to explain the dif­ ficulty with such inexperience. “The college cross country races are longer, anywhere from five to 6.2 miles. High school races are about three miles.” In spite of the lack of experience, however, both teams did see some sea­ son high points. The men’s team fin­ ished third in a field of 15 behind first place Penn State at the University of Western Ontario meet. Actually, Stintzi admitted, “We had a pretty re­ spectable season going until the Big Ten meet.” What was it that held the team to­ gether in such an unstable season? “Team spirit,” proclaimed De­ ford, “We stick together. We work out together, we all get along . . . Everyone on the team is willing to work, to try to improve.” Mark Williamson felt the same way. “We’re a real close team. We all know what’s going on with each other. We’re always helping each other out.” Williamson believed that the core of the team’s unity rested in the leader­ ship of the team. “Coach Stintzi really knows what he’s doing,” Williamson said, “He helps bring the team togeth­ er. He’s more than a coach; he’s a friend. He gives good advice, too.” “Their high morale was what pul­ led them through,” said Dennis of the women, “They’re just a good group of ladies.” In the long run, these young teams will grow into older, experienced ones. “We have a lot of talent,” summed up Hanson, “We should be coming up in the next few years.” Shea feels the same way, and concluded, “There’s re­ ally no where to go but up.” by Elizabeth Krebs SCOREBOARD MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY: Front Row, Don Speier, Joe Baer, Chris Hughes, Rick Prince, Dave Homann, Joe Mihalic, Mark Williamson, Eric Huff.

Twenty-four yardsl With 24 yards the Spartans would have won four more games. With 24 yards the Spartans would have gone to their third straight bowl game. With 24 yards the Spartans would have tied for the Big Ten title. But those 24 yards didn’t come and the Spartans finished a disap­ pointing 6-5 - hardly what anyone predicted for such a talent-loaded foot­ ball team. “I think of what could have hap­ pened with the production of (Dave) Yarema, (Andre) Rison, (Mark) In­ gram, and the others,” fourth-year Head Coach George Perles said. “We could have been dynamite.” Unfortu­ nately for Michigan State what was and what could have been were two very different things. “Six times this season I’ve been very happy, and five times felt bad,” Perles said. “In the thick of the season, football is magnified. But when the dust settles, we get our priorities back in line. This team, they always had their bases covered.” It was the hyped up season. Many believed 1986 was the year that MSU was “smelling roses.” Lorenzo White, who last year was fourth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, had a promis­ ing start but soon all hopes were shat­ tered. In the first game of the season MSU lost 17-20 to eventual Rose Bowl champion Arizona State, the first of four games to be lost by a three-point margin. The home season opened with Notre Dame. It was on national TV, and the Fighting Irish had just come from a last second loss to second-rank­ ed Michigan. Michigan State rose to the occasion and snatched a momen­ tous win, 20-15. Todd Krumm provid­ ed the Spartans with their first touch­ down, an interception of a Steve Beur- lein pass to flanker Tim Brown. Step­ ping in front of Brown, Krumm picked the ball off and returned it 44 yards for the touchdown. But Krumm also had another in­ terception on the day, the second sealed a Spartan victory. He stole it away from Brown again as the Irish were on the Michigan State 18 yard line with 1 minute, 18 seconds left in the game. For his efforts, Krumm was named De­ fensive Player of the Week in Sports Il­ lustrated. The win vaulted the Spartans to another win against Western Michi­ gan, 45-10. The Spartan offense was unstoppable in the air and on the ground, and chalked up some large sta­ tistics. The following game was the sec­ ond three-point loss - a heartbreaking 21-24 nationally televised game against Iowa. With 1 minute, 32 sec­ onds remaining in the game MSU was standing first and goal on the Iowa three yard line. Senior quarterback Dave Yarema took the snap, rolled to the right and threw a pass intended for tight end Mike Sargent. But instead of a completion - a touchdown, and a vic­ tory - Iowa cornerback Ken Sims came down with an interception. And just as easy as that Iowa stole a key Big Ten game from MSU. But the Rose Bowl still was not en­ tirely out of the question. A number of things could have happened and the Spartans just might have found them­ selves on that Pasadena flight. After a 27-6 loss to the University of Michigan, however, the Spartans quietly withdrew their reservations for the trip. Still, it was a close game (3-13 at the half) until the Wolverines pulled away. Continued SPARTAN STARTER since his freshman year, senior Dave Yarema led the Spartans to bowl games in the last two years. The 1986 season was not as successful, but did end on a winning note with a 23-13 victory over Wisconsin.

With an 0-2 record in the Big Ten, a trip to the Rose Bowl was out of the question. However, at least six other bowl games were strongly considering MSU, pro­ vided they won their remaining six games. Things looked good as they won the first three games. A 29-21 win at Illinois started it out and 52-23 wash­ ing of Minnesota finished the three game streak. A 37-3 Homecoming vic­ tory over Purdue was tucked nicely in between the two. Following the victory over Purdue, Perles said that the “bowl games will take care of themselves if we win. There were a lot of (bowl scout) people here today but we don’t talk about it at all (with the team).” Whatever talk of bowls there was with the team, it ended on November 8. Indiana was the opponent and the re­ sult was the third loss by three points. The Hoosiers stole a 17-14 win from the Spartans that was all too similar to the Iowa game. Late in the game MSU was down by three (14-17). State’s James Moore blocked an Indiana punt and recovered the ball on the Indiana eight yard line. With 28 seconds remaining, Yarema rolled right and threw across the mid­ dle to flanker Mark Ingram. Indiana free safety Alex Greene stepped in front, snatched the ball and any hopes for a bowl-game bid from MSU. Perles attributed the loss not to the second interception, but to the four oth­ er turnovers as well. “We had too many turnovers, ob­ viously.” Perles said after the game. “That’s what led us to defeat. We played poor the first half and came back the second and almost redeemed ourselves.” “We felt right up to the end of the game that we could win it,” sophomore split end Andre Rison said Also, just about every passing re­ cord was broken by senior quarterback Dave Yarema - 2,581 passing yards, 200 completions, 297 attempts for a season, and tying for career touchdown passes with 43. “This loss hurts and we’ve had two tough ones this year,” Perles said, “We have to learn from our experiences.” Junior punter Greg Montgomery finished the season with an outstanding 47.8 yard average. The Spartans took a fatal blow and their fourth three point loss of the year at the hands of Northwestern. The Spartans entered Evanston dejected and returned none the better after a stunning 21-24 loss to the Wildcats. The final game of the season, a 23- 13 win over the Badgers of Wisconsin, offered small consolation to a season of near misses. For Morse, however, it was the best game of his career. Morse rushed for 170 ya\rds and garnered two touch­ downs on a one-yard plunge and a high- stepping, eleven-yard scamper. “You dream about things like that and it just happened. I was real happy,” Morse said. “The offensive line was making it happen and I was just run­ ning through the holes.” Morse wasn’t the only one to enjoy individual achievements though. In the Indiana game Rison set all-time, sin­ gle-game school records for receptions in a game (11) and yards receiving in a game (196). In light of his efforts, Rison couldn’t help but feel down about the loss. “Someone brought to my atten­ tion at the time,” Rison said. “But I was more upset about the loss.” Middle linebacker Shane Bul- lough finished his career with 311 tackles, earning the senior a third place slot among all-time tacklers at MSU. On paper, the Spartans were ex­ cellent. But on the field the excellence didn’t shine. A major reason for this was a key player spent too much time off the field due to injuries. Talented tailback Lorenzo White was sidelined with a knee injury sustained by a hard tackle in the Iowa game. Just as easy as that MSU’s formi­ dable offensive weapon and the leading Heisman Trophy candidate was gone. After being sidelined for the entire Michigan and Illinois games, White re­ turned for the Purdue game, but not at 100 percent. “We were watching him very closely,” Perles said after the game. “We didn’t want to wear him down. With White out, Perles used many people to take his place, but it still wasn’t Lorenzo White. On the bright side, Lorenzo was a junior and would be returning. In fact, seven starters on offense and eight star­ ters on defense were going to return to the team. Those numbers were impres­ sive but the caliber of players being lost to graduation was almost irreplacable. Their vacancies would have to be filled. Considering the amount of talent returning and after the vacancies were filled, maybe in the future 24 yards would not keep the Spartans from achieving the season that everyone ex­ pected from them, by Patrick Kessler ski.

The Dean of dedication We all know how hard it can be to juggle our homework and still have time left over for a social life. For a Spartan football player, though, the challenge is even greater. Probably the best example of a stu­ dent who has successfully juggled all three is Dean Altobelli. He has maintained close to a 4.0 av­ erage at MSU, as an engineering major, he has been nominated for the Rhodes Scholarship, and has also somehow found time to be active in community service as well. According to Dean, the motivation has been all his own, with very little pa­ rental nagging. Since high school he has maintained a high grade point average and was named to the Detroit Free Press Aca­ demic All-America Team.” I always took pride in my grades. I was very self-moti­ vated. In fact, my parents told me not to study so hard and to take it easy,” said Altobelli. Of course being nominated for a Rhodes scholarship was a big academic honor for the senior from Escanaba, Mich., but how could that relate to foot­ ball? Interestingly enough, Altobelli wrote his personal statement about all the things football had taught him.” Football has taught me a lot. I’ve had interactions with many different kinds of people, ex­ posure to the media, and I’ve learned how to communicate well with other people. Football also forced me to budget my time and that will help me in the future too,” Altobelli said. Football has been very, very, good to Dean Altobelli. He has earned a letter ev­ ery year he has played, with varsity statis­ tics including: 94 tackles, three fumble recoveries, four kickoff returns for an av­ erage of 30 yards, and caught four passes for 51 yards. Sports have always played a big part in his life, though. “I am the youngest in my family and my three older brothers and I used to compete in all kinds of sports when we were younger. I think competing with my brothers and their friends helped me to develop more as an athlete,” said Alto­ belli. Dean said he and his family are very close and they came to many of the games. “My parents have always been very supportive of me and my brothers in our athletic pursuits.” Even though football took up most of his time, Altobelli found time to be president of the Varsity S Club, a club for varsity athletes. He did work with the Big brothers and sisters through the S club, and spoke to Boy Scout troops and at elementary schools. “I enjoy doing that kind of thing when people ask me. I don’t mind taking the time for something like that,” Alto­ belli said. He also stressed that he feels athletes should set a good example for young kids, and that is another reason why he is proud of his scholastic achieve­ ments. “When I was young, I would look up to athletes and kids today are no differ­ ent. It’s amazing how a kid will try to emulate you. I think it’s your responsibil­ ity to set a good example,” said Altobelli. Dean has definitely lived up to this standard and is an example others could be proud to follow. This year he won a Toyota leadership award, in which he was picked from 44 players-one picked each week that CBS televised a game. Dean was named leader of the year based on his citizenship, academic re­ cord, and athletics. Shane Bullough and Pat Shurmur were also nominated differ­ ent weeks. Dean’s award was a $10,000 donation from Toyota to MSU and an ad­ ditional $1,000 the week he was nomi­ nated. The money goes to the Ralph Young athletic department fund. Altobelli is proud of this award, and hopes it and his other accomplishments will encourage others to take their work seriously and not take anything for gran­ ted. He points out that there are those football players who come in as freshmen, can’t handle the pressure, and do poorly their first term here. After that, they have a hard time trying to get their grades back up. “It’s really important to put time into your studies and take them seriously. That is one of the main reasons I came to MSU, because of the coaching staffs philosophy. They put a lot of emphasis on education and that says a lot about them as people. You can’t blow off your work and expect football to carry you through. As George Perles says, “You’re always one play away from your career ending.” Altobelli has plenty of plans for when he graduates and no longer has football to fill his time. He has applied to graduate schools in engineering at North­ western, Stanford, Purdue, Cal-Tech, and Cai-Berkley. He hopes to work for NASA one day and has no interest in working for a private engineering firm. “I don’t want to work for a profit­ seeking company. I would rather work in a space program. I feel more responsible doing something like that,” Altobelli said. He has thought about possibly coaching one day and still considers get­ ting his MBA and becoming a graduate assistant for a football team. “I would re­ ally enjoy being involved with football again. I love the game of football and I always will. I’ll miss it, and that’s why I’m thinking of going into coaching, to stay with the game,” said Altobelli. Of course football hasn’t been all rosy, and there have been disappoint­ ments, such as not going to a bowl game his senior year, but as Altobelli points out, those things happen. “I’m happy with the four years I’ve been here and I think you learn to accept those kinds of things. I’ve learned that through football. Part of football is hey, sometimes things don’t go well. It’s been fun, and I’ve learned a lot about myself. You know, you come in as a freshman with ideas of bowls and all-state this and that, and then reality hits-you face humility and learn a lot about yourself,” said Altobelli. Dean Altobelli seems to have learned all he needs to know - and then some. by Margo Moses EYES FIXED ON THE BALL, strong safety Dean Al­ tobelli reads the play and moves to stop it.

As the young team gained more experience they also net­ ted seventh place in their conference. Improved over last year’s finish at the bottom of the Big Ten. “You can’t just start up in the Big Ten,” Mayson said. “Last year there just wasn’t enough time to work with the players. It took time to get to know each other.” Although there were many retur­ nees to the Spartan squad it was the freshmen who really shone this year. Maureen McLaughlin and Jill Krumm were standouts, but Mayson said that despite their talent they were still freshmen and were still learning. “College volleyball is real tough “If you make a mistake the ball is already past, but you learn as you go. “When a team relies on freshmen they’re going to have problems. “But they did a nice job for us and I’m really pleased,” Mayson said. During their fall season, the team upset number two ranked Iowa and up­ set U-M twice which, Mayson said, “is always fun to do.” “We started out on the right foot this year. We beat some very strong southern teams early in the season, she said. “We were very inexperienced in ’85, the games that were close were just luck. “The other team made a mistake and let us in. “This year we’re in control.” by Patricia Hamilton VOLLEYBALL: Front Row: Maureen Mclaughlin, Kris Durst, Pam Wischmeyer, Erin Ryan, Cheryl Barea.

Miller Pushed out of an NCAA repeat A return engagement. It was in­ must have been too easy for in their next seventeen games the Spartans went 10-7. Norm Foster ran into bad luck and seemed to drop every Friday game in which he minded the net. evitable. There was just no way the Michigan State Hockey team would be denied the chance to defend their national title. On March 28 the Spartans took to the ice at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit with that chance. But an extremely well-balanced North Dakota team tore the Spartans rose-colored picture into tiny shreds. The season began with an eight game winning streak. That multiplied into a 15-1-1 record a third of the way into the season. The Spartan icers were hot and on a roll that looked like it had no end. A comfortable lead in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association had ev­ eryone in confident smiles. The front line of Bobby Reynolds (20 goals, 13 assists), Bill Shibicky (43, 36), and Mitch Messier (44, 48) were giving opposing goalies shell shock. Norm Foster (3.9 goals against aver­ age) and Bobby Essensa (2.78) were stopping anything that even gave a thought of hitting the net behind them. Coach Ron Mason, in his seventh year, was pulling all the right strings. Suddenly someone cut them. It But it wasn’t entirely his fault. The offense didn’t seem to click as well as before, but it wasn’t their fault either. The defense wasn’t flowing, but don’t blame the sudden change on them. What happened to the boys in green? “You know, it’s tough to keep win­ ning,” center Brian McReynolds said. “The pressure was on us to continue to win. We weren’t playing our style of hockey. We were trying to be too fancy instead of Michigan State hockey. Once the coaches talked to us we (start­ ed playing) our defensive style hock­ ey.” With that in mind the Spartans finished with a very impressive 23-8-1 CCHA record. Bowling Green took the league with a more impressive 24-6-2. Michigan State took second. That second place finish meant they did not automatically receive a bid to the NCAA tourney. But winning the CCHA playoffs did. “With the record we had we continued SCOREBOARD Won: 33, Lost: 10, Tied: 2 Ohio State Ohio State Ferris Ferris Miami Miami Western Western Illinois-Chicago Illinois-Chicago Michigan Michigan Maine Maine Michigan Tech Bowling Green Bowling Green Lake Superior Lake Superior Ferris Ferris Western Michigan Tech Miami Miami Western Western Illinois-Chicago Illinois-Chicago Michigan Michigan Team Canada Team Canada Bowling Green Bowling Green Lake Superior Lake Superior Ohio State Ohio State Playoffs: Michigan Michigan Western Bowling Green Maine Maine Minnesota NCAA Final: North Dakota MSUOPP 4 4 2 3 4 1 3 3 5 4 6 3 3 0 0 4 1 5 2 3 2 7 0 5 2 6 4 4 3 8 1 5 6 3 3 4 4 4 7 8 6 3 6 10 8 6 7 4 5 7 9 3 4 6 5 5 4 3 4 4 3 9 4 5 8 5 2 5 2 2 3 3 6 3 3 1 8 5 8 6 6 4 6 5 5 3 7 3 3 3 2 3 3 5 THE LAST WORD ... “The pressure was on us to con­ tinue to win.

We might have won and we might have lost. It was extremely important to play them at home.” Michigan State swept Michigan in the first round of the playoffs 8-7 (OT) and 6-3, respectively. Another 6-3 win, this time over Western Michigan, launched State into the title game. Against the regular season champions, Bowling Green, State skated away with a 4-3 overtime win. They also skated away with an NCAA bid and home ice advantage. The University of Maine was swept away 6-2 and 5-3 at Munn Are­ na, which was once again over capacity as it had been the entire season. On to an arena with a little more capacity, Detroit’s Joe Louis, and the next opponent, the University of Min­ nesota. Joe Louis, the fabled “Munn East” due to the large numbers of Spartan supporters, was going to take part once again in important games of Michigan State hockey. In a close one State beat Minneso­ ta on a Dave Arkeilpane slap shot off of a rebound from the boards behind the net. An empty net goal sealed the Gol­ den Golphers fate and State went on to the finals with a 5-3 win under its belt. The foe in the title match was North Dakota and they were led by Tony Hrkac, a demon of a skater and an excellent puck handler. “They were really good,” defense­ man Jim Lycett said. “They had a bunch of good players. We came out tired in the first period and made them look pretty good. After a while we were able to get into our game and even things out.” Unfortunately, the Spartans couldn’t just even things out, they had to get ahead. Three quick goals by North Dakota put State into a deep hole which looked like the Spartans were trying to crawl out of the entire game. Michgan State never did get out and lost the NCAA title 3-5. To give the hockey team credit is not enough. To hand it to them isn’t either. They performed well and gave the fans one exciting season. by Patrick Kessler SIDESTEPPING THE WESTERN Michigan goalie’s defenses, Don McSween prepares to attempt a shot. The Spartans were among the league leaders in power play scoring. Kris Miller Hung up on emotional play One could say that the 1986-87 basketball season started with the onset of the 1985-86 team’s season. Led by since departed Scott Skiles, the Spartan five astounded ev­ eryone except themselves as they ad­ vanced all the way to the sweet sixteen in the NCAA tournament. They bowed out of the tourney in the infamous ten seconds game against Kansas. People were expecting the same magic from this year’s team. It was just not meant to be. Coupled with a shortage of experi­ enced players returning and sub-par performances, the team could not and did not live up to people’s expectations. In that sense one could say that the 1985-86 team’s successful season was also the downfall of this year’s team. The season began optimistically. With three returning starters (Vernon Carr, Barry Fordham, and Darryl Johnson), two highly touted junior col­ lege transfers (Bobby Worthington, and Ed Wright), and the addition of a seven foot center from Syracuse (George Papadakos), the Spartan bas­ ketball season seemed to be headed for another successful season. Jud Heathcote, entering his elev­ enth campaign at the helm of the squad, stressed the importance of de­ sire throughout the season. At times State didn’t exhibit this, most notably a 65-67 loss to North­ western and a 63-65 home game dropped to Wisconsin. There were times, however, when State did show their ferocity and com­ petitive spirit. The one game in particular was a nationally televised 90-81 defeat of the Michigan Wolverines in Jenison Are­ na. “It’s been a long, long season for the Spartans and even though this is only one win it feels like two when you beat Michigan,” Heathcote said after the game. “It was very important to salvage this season with a win today.” “I’ve been thinking about this game ever since they beat us,” high point man Johnson said. “It’s been on my conscience. I could hardly sleep. It was personal. I had to get him (Michi­ gan guard Antione Joubert) back.” Darryl Johnson played inspired ball. So did Vernon Carr that day. Todd Wolfe came off the bench to score thirteen. George Papadakos fi­ nally filled the gap underneath the bas­ ket. They all played well that day. But the problem was they didn’t play well throughout the entire season. continued SCOREBOARD Won: 11, Lost: 17 Eastern Navy Brooklyn Maine Geo.

Michael Honeywell High hopes end; Big Ten revenge Finishing with an overall record of 16-12 and a conference record of 8-10, the Women’s basketball team ranked a disappointing sixth place in the Big Ten. Both the coaches and the team had hoped to place in the top three. “We set a goal to finish in the top three teams,” criminal justice senior Sue Pearsall said. “We had to win three more games to get an NCAA bid and when you look back it’s disappointing to see three games you should have won.” A young team and injuries were problems cited in the season. Ten out of thirteen players on the team saw little or no playing time be­ fore the season began. The injury of Sue Tucker in the middle of the season was also a factor. “Sue Tucker was an asset not only in scoring and rebounding but as a leader on the team,” said Pearsall. “She had a real positive attitude and would never let the team get down on ourselves. When she was injured half­ way through the season the team lost a valuable leader.” “But my injury really hurt me because it was not the way I wanted to go out my senior year.” because of the sponsorship and tremen­ dous spectator support we received,” said head coach Karen Langeland. Despite her injuries, Tucker was named Honorable Mention in the Big Ten. A teammate, Kris Emerson re­ ceived second team Big Ten honors. “It was nice to see that many peo­ ple came out to see us,” said Pearsall. “That was the largest crowd most of us had ever played in front of.” Emerson also reached a personal goal when she surpassed Mary Kay It- nyre as MSU’s all-time leading scorer. Emerson racked up 440 points in the season to total a career high 1,590 points. “When I came into the program I didn’t look to that as a goal,” human ecology senior Emerson said. “As my sophomore year approached I realized I had a chance of breaking it if I stayed consistent. When I look back on it I re­ alize it is a great accomplishment that not many people get a chance to do.” The season had other highlights. A first for the women’s program was hosting a Christmas Tournament. The Feldpausch MSU Holiday Classic drew an MSU record crowd of 5,846 during the championship game against Central Michigan University. The Spartans won that game 65-54. Another exciting game was the last game of the season against Illinois. “The victory over Illinois was an important one in our season,” said Emerson. “We have a pretty big rivalry with that school and we thought we could keep them from a bid if we won. They were way ahead of us in their standings and we played way over our heads that day.” “Beating Illinois was a good way to end the season,” said Langeland. “The Big Ten is the second best conference and gets tougher every year. I think we set our expectations a little too high for the season, but the players worked hard and gave a lot of effort. We lost three or four games we should have won and that made the dif­ ference for not getting an NCAA bid and winning twenty games.” by Kim Alexander “I think my injury hurt the team,” human ecology senior Sue Tucker said. “The Feldpausch tournament was the most exciting game of the season WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Front Row, Ass’t coach Yvette Angel, Kim Archer, Carlotta Taylor, Cynthia Lyons, Coach Karen Langeland, Taraisa Wills, Vicky Harrison, Ass’t coach Sue Guevara.

After twenty-four years, head wrestling coach Grady Penninger retired the previous year. His accumulative record was an aston­ ishing 212-113-10. One national title and seven Big Ten championships were won in those years. Taking his place and in his first year at MSU, was Phil Parker. He car­ ried all the credentials. Parker had eleven years of head coaching experi­ ence at Ventura (Calif.) Junior College and Washington State. Compiling an overall record of 104-47, he had never had a losing season. Among his coaching awards are NCAA Rookie Coach of the Year in his first year at Washington State and Metro Conference Coach of the Year while at Ventura. He was a three time NCAA champion in his collegiate days at Iowa State University. He brought the determination of those champion­ ships with him to coaching and now to MSU. Another era began. Parker inherited two All-Ameri­ cans from last years squad, Dan Ma- tauch (134 lbs.) and Dave Mariola (177). John Przbyla (190) also traveled Despite the efforts of these three, last year’s losing record was the first losing record in 24 years. Parker and his new assistant coach Dan Severn, who was currently the World Freestyle Champion (220), were intent on starting a streak just as successful. They almost did. The season finished with a 7-8 re­ cord, 3-6 in the Big Ten. The last time the Spartan grapplers had two consec­ utive losing seasons was the 1936 and the 1937 seasons. Individually, Matauch qualified once again for the NCAA tournament, only this time he was joined by Stacy Richmond (142). Neither placed, how­ ever. “I wanted to win the whole thing,” Richmond said. “I wasn’t pleased with the way I (wrestled). I wasn’t aggres­ sive and the first match of the second day I felt kind of sluggish.” Despite the losing record the sea­ son had its share of highlights. Two road wins against Notre Dame (25-17) and Ohio State (20-14) were the two notable achievements. In fact, the season itself can be broken down into halves. With impressive showings at the MSU Invitational and the Ohio Open (first place at both), they proceeded to lose seven of their next eight dual meets. Like a quick reversal, the wrest­ lers then finished their dual meet sea­ son by winning six of seven. “There was a long wait over Christmas,” Richmond said. “It affect­ ed us a bit.” The Big Ten meet was a major dis­ appointment. Parker didn’t like to use excuses, but the quality of officiating was terrible, he said. MSU finished tenth out of the ten teams with thirty points. Placing for the Spartans were Brian Smith (126, 5th place), Matauch (134, 4th), and Richmond (142, 4th). Junior Mariola turned a fine season with a 22-4 record. Przybla carded a 21-8 record and heavyweight Dave Dopler finished a respectable 16-12-1. Next year the Spartans will have experience despite losing Matauch, Dopler, and Przybla. Next year Parker and Severn will hopefully bring MSU back to what it once was in wrestling. by Patrick Kessler SCOREBOARD Won: 7, Lost: 8 Northwestern Illinois Purdue Michigan Iowa Oklahoma State Missouri Oklahoma Notre Dame Minnesota Indiana Central Toledo Wisconsin Ohio State MSU/OPP 15-28 15-24 8-26 8-28 6-35 0-44 30-7 6-36 25-17 21-13 24-19 25-16 26-15 8-34 20-14 THE LAST WORD ... “There was a long wait over Christmas, it affected us a bit.” WRESTLING: Front Row, Scott Brooks, Cliff Pe­ rez, Brian Smith, John Burge, Dan Matauch, Sam Romano, Jeff Mustari, Rick Deeb, Daron Ensign, Michael Pearson, Timothy Reisig.

Photos by La Vern Pennington Full of the first times al meeting and went.” This was the way that most team members discovered the sport. While having a team made up of primarily novice fencers has hurt them in competition, Freiheit said that no one ever really masters the sport. There are only different levels of knowledge. In order to increase their knowl­ edge, the team practiced throughout the year. At least 15 hours a week dur­ ing their December-February season and several days a week during the rest of the year. Meets, called duel meets, were day-long events that involved as many as six teams. There are three weapons used in fencing, the foil, epee and saber. Each have different legal target areas and different techniques. The foil can be di­ rected at the chest only, and only the tip is used, while the tip of the epee is free to strike anywhere on the body. The saber is confined to above the waist, but both the tip and the edge are used. Although the team has not had a positive win record in the past two years, 10-11 in 1987 and 8-12 in 1986, Coach Freiheit was pleased with the improvement this year and optimistic about next year’s squad. “We had nine fencers return this year so the team had a little more expe­ rience,” he said. “And we’re only losing one man from each weapon, so we’ll be even more seasoned next year.” Not only seasoning, but persever­ ance and love for the sport are neces­ sary for a winning team. Two qualities that the squad has mastered. “As in any sport, you have to enjoy it,” Resotko said. “You learn about it and because you enjoy it you can dedi­ cate yourself to it.” “I red-shirted in foil,” said Resot­ ko, who fenced epee this year. “I think I fenced a grand total of three duels, lost every one, but it was a start.” Resotko said that potential fen­ cers shouldn’t be put off by the sport’s elite image. “Because of the three different weapons and the different ways they are used, just about anyone who is dedi­ cated enough can learn to fence. by Patricia Hamilton There were never many varsity sports that even gave beginners a chance. Fencing relied on them. Although fencing has had varsity status since the 1920’s, no network for recruiting experienced fencers was ever established. According to Fred Freiheit, who has coached the team for four years, the program has had to rely on begin­ ners to keep it going. “There aren’t very many high schools with fencing programs, so it’s a very difficult sport to recruit for,” he said. “Of the 12 men on the squad, only three have had high school experi­ ence.” Other team members became in­ terested in the sport through the fenc­ ing class that Freiheit taught, or, like mathematics junior John Resotko, just happened upon it. “I knew absolutely nothing about fencing before I came to State,” Resot­ ko said. “I opened up The State News, Welcome Week of my freshman year, saw a picture of two guys fencing, read that they were having an organization­ FENCING: Front Row, Jae Son, Steve Holden, Pete Colovas, John Resotko, Chris Stubbs, Joe Rivet.

Everyone has a team atti­ tude. ” Record scores on beam and floors When asked to describe the Women’s Gymnastics 1987 season in one word, coach Michael Kasavana answered without hesitation, “Excellent. We’re 14th in the country, second in the Big 10, and third in the NCAA.” Freshman engineering major Khristanya Jones affirmed Kasavana’s convictions. “I think we had a great year,” she said, “I’m not sure if any weaknesses held us back ... I can’t think of any weaknesses.” But these aren’t the only factors that represent the team’s success. The team set a new school all-around record of 186 points. Sophomore physical edu­ cation major Kim Hartwick set three school records, breaking two that she had previously set. Hartwick scored a 37.50 in all-around against Ohio State, breaking her previous score of 37.25. Her 9.65 in floor excercise set a new school record as well as a record in the Big 10. Hartwick’s 9.80 in balance beam set a school record at Brigham Young, and a 9.60 in that same event earned her the title of 1987 Big 10 Bal­ ance Beam Champion. There’s more to a strong team than a two-time Big 10 champion, how­ ever. “Khristy is phenomenal on un­ even bars,” Kasavana said, “Keiko Timmerman provided team depth to make it easier for all-arounders on the vault and bars ... Linda Schmauder was very consistent. She was our most improved gymnast, which is unusual for a senior.” Kasavana attributed other team strengths to Dawna Wilson, who placed 14th in the 1984 Olympic trials, and Mary Miller, a “utility player” in the uneven bars and vault. “Gayle Quashnie was very dependable; she provided a certain punch and depth. Joanne Walberer, our captain, unfor­ tunately suffered a severe sprain half­ way through the season and had to drop out.” How can a team be so successful? What makes these women work so well together? “There were no prima don­ nas,” said Kasavana, “I’d like to think everyone works hard. Everyone has a team attitude. If everyone in the team does well, but the team loses, it’s an empty victory . . . The women never lost sight of the team concept.” It is this collective goal that has provided the team’s consistent unity and depth. “We work together good as a team,” said Jones, “We all get along. We are competing against each other, but as a team we strive for the same thing — to win as a team.” “We really worked well together,” agreed Hartwick, “The team has im­ proved incredibly .. . Whether you’re vying for first or second or fourth you have to forget about that. I think our team does that really well.” According to Kasavana, the sea­ son “ . . . was very satisfying from a team point of view. We had the best caliber students and athletes. It all clicked.” by Elizabeth Krebs GYMNASTICS: Front Row, Mary Miller, Keiko Timmermann, Peggy McMaster, Gayle Quashnie.

Photos by LaVern Pennington Secrets of success George Szypula has a secret he’s gymnastics teams in the nation. just dying to let everyone in on. While varsity sports like football, basketball and hockey garner big news­ paper headlines and attract thousands of fans, Szypula sits on the sidelines content. Szypula, who celebrated his 40th year as head coach of the men’s gymnastics team, finished the season with an overall record of 11-4 - one of the best team performances at MSU. The secret is out. The team was ranked 15th in the nation, finished fifth in the Big Ten and qualified three players in the NCAA gymnastics fi­ nals. Not only was the team recognized nationally, but so was the coach. Szypula was named Mideast Regional Coach of the Year for his accomplish­ ments at MSU. But, much of the team’s success should also be credited to Assistant Coach Rick Atkinson, a former Big Eight all-conference gymnast from Iowa State, Szypula said. According to Szypula, MSU is usually ranked among the top 20 “We’ve done well for ourselves,” Szypula said. “This was one of the top eight seasons I’ve had during my 40 years of coaching at MSU.” “It might sound corny, but the guys really worked hard as a team this year and there were several very fine performers,” he added. This year’s team was led by junior Keith Pettit, senior Eddie Malec and sophomore Greg Jung. All three quali­ fied for NCAA competition held at UCLA during April. Pettit emerged as a finalist in the vaulting competition with a score of 9.4 - ranking him seventh in the nation. After a season filled with many triumphs, the team suffered a disheart­ ening setback when senior Andy Ladwig missed qualifying for the NCAA finals by .10 of a point. “It really hurt,” Szypula said of Ladwig’s near miss. “After such a fine season I really wish we could have had four qualifiers.” Key wins for the team included Kent State and U-M. Szypula said. “The team put on a really fine performance, earning one of the highest scores we’ve ever had against them.” As with nearly all sports team at MSU, contests against U-M spark heated rivalry. “(The meet) was extremely im­ portant to us because of the rivalry be­ tween the schools,” Szypula said. “A lot of times we do beat them, but it’s always nice to win.” “So, what is the secret to the team’s success?” According to Szypula, the team can be seen practicing year-round in the third-floor gym of Jenison Field­ house. During the season, practices take up about 15 hours per week. After enjoying 40 years worth of success stories, Szypula said he re­ mains optimistic about the future. “Things look good for the coming season,” he said. “A lot of key people are coming back and some of the people who were on the injured list will also be returning for competition.” “We beat (Kent State) badly,” by Janis Matheson MEN’S GYMNASTICS: Front, Phil Gray, Randy Lane, Jeff Yenchar, Greg Jung, Steve Hirsch, Bert Vescolani, Allan Powers, Andy Ladwig.

Photos by Mike Stassus Eyes on title Sixth place in the Big Ten was not what they had hoped for, but with women’s tennis they are taking it one step at a time. “I was hoping we would finish fifth but we lost our last match,” said head coach Heather Mactaggart. “Compared to last year’s ninth place finish it was pretty good.” One reason for the improvement was the strength of the doubles teams. The number one doubles team of senior Tracy Balagna and junior Gina Romeo maintained their winning ways through the season, finishing with an overall record of 17-3. They were named First-Team All-Big Ten in doubles. “We pretty much did it in our doubles and lower level singles,” said Mactaggart. “Tracy and Gina had an incredible record. They beat some pret­ ty good teams, and had the potential to defeat just about anyone.” Tracy Balagna was also named Most Valuable Player and received the team’s Spirit Award. “Tracy was a valuable leader, she’ll be tough to replace,” said Mac­ taggart. Other players agreed. “Tracy and Gina were a great doubles team,” said no-preference freshman Kathleen Monczka. “They deserved their honors.” Monczka also said the team worked very well together and had a lot of spirit. One match in which their spirit clearly showed was the match against Illinois. “Illinois was tough,” said Mac­ taggart. “They were ahead of us all the way and it came down to the last match. We were losing a couple of doubles matches but they came back from huge deficits to win. We beat Illi­ nois 5-4, it was our most exciting match.” Another aspect of their season was the opportunity to use the new indoor tennis facility. The $1.9 million MSU Tennis Fa­ cility is one of the newest indoor colle­ giate tennis facilities in the country. The 69,000 square-foot building houses eight indoor courts, permanent seating for 1,200, men’s and women’s locker rooms and a pro shop. The facil­ ity has become a definite advantage to MSU’s tennis teams. “I love the tennis building,” said Monczka. “It has helped our team be­ cause it is our own facility to practice in instead of having to travel to other indoor courts in the area. The building will help in recruiting.” Mactaggart called the facility a step toward building a better program. “Overall the season was a good one,” said Monczka. “We were able to move up in our Big Ten standing and that’s always a good sign.” by Kim Alexander WOMEN’S TENNIS: Front Row, Kathleen Monczka, Tracy Balagna, Gina Romeo, Nancy Redman.

TAKING TIME OUT to discuss strategy for up­ coming meets, head coach Stan Drobac provides feedback for improving the doubles game of Santi­ ago Cash. Photos by La Vern Pennington Giving their all “We got close as a team, but we didn’t get over the hill,” Men’s Tennis coach Stan Drobac said. The men finished a disappointing 4-11, with an 0-9 record in the Big Ten. The Big Ten teams were very competi­ tive, and MSU played each one of them. “We wanted to have a really good team even though we didn’t have every­ one on scholarships,” said Santiago Cash, first singles player. “But we can rely on the fact that everyone is good. These guys come in and they work hard and everything ... I think that’s what we need — guys that work their butts off just for every­ one. They really pump the whole team up,” said Cash. Despite the energy that moved through the team, the final tabulations were discouraging. Answers were sought and some were found. The main one was that the team was young.The team was made up of two juniors, two sophomores and four freshmen — no seniors. One of the weaknesses is that we’re a young team; we didn’t have any upperclassmen,” Drobac said. “When you have seniors, you have experience. The bright side, if you can call it one, is how close the matches were. Five were lost by a score of 4-5. That means a lot, if you know the sport and how it goes, Cash said. “If you have three guys that are walk-ons (such as MSU) against a team that has five or six or seven scho­ larships, or ten like Michigan, it’s like you’re playing the number one (player on the team) all the time. The whole team is the number one,” Cash said, “When you’re giving scholarships . . . you don’t give scholarships to just any­ body. They expect you to be good. So imagine having ten guys like that; I’m sure you can be number one ... be Big Ten champ.” The team has the potential. Losing to more experienced teams by as close a margin as they did shows just how close they were to better times. With the youth they have they can MEN’S TENNIS: Front: Fernando Belmar, Karl Jones, Alec Green, Anthony Floreno, Eric Korvan.

We just need a little motivation.” “All the players on the team will be coming back,” Drobac said. “So it’s a real challenge for all of us to improve and get better. The one thing we’ve got going for us right now is the best facil­ ity in the country. It truly is a fantastic facility.” In fact, the United States Tennis Association awarded the new MSU Tennis Facility the most out­ standing public facility in the nation. This year I felt we had a team,” Cash summed up, “even though we lost. This year was different. It’s not that the whole team is bad, not at all. We go individually and play individu­ ally.

Photos by Dave Pierini Hopes remain The potential was there but the re­ cord didn’t show it. The women’s softball team fin­ ished seventh in the Big Ten and had an overall record of 34-20. It was not what they had hoped for. “The season was a huge disap­ pointment,” said head coach Gloria Becksford. “The overall talent was good but we had a young team.” The team had it’s strong and weak points. “Our catching was outstanding this year but our pitching was a little young,” said Becksford. “We started one freshman and a rookie at third base, which was one reason for our weak defense. Our outfield was pretty strong with good performances from Tracey Baker and Tracy Beadles- comb.” Baker and Beadlescomb did have impressive seasons, each making First- Team All-Big Ten. Tracy Beadlescomb also made First-Team Mid-East Region and broke three school records. She had most stolen bases with 14, most single hits in a season with 55 and had a re­ cord batting average of .359. “Tracy Beadlescomb had a great season,” said veterinary junior Sheila Ovenhouse. “It was an achievement to reach such heights when the team didn’t do well.” “It was a nice way to end my ca­ reer,” said Beadlescomb. “I am very honored, but I wish we had done better as a team.” Other team honors were given to Jenny O’Donnell for most spirited and the most valuable player was Tracy Beadlescomb. The team captains were seniors Lori Schulze, Jodi McDonald, and Tracy Beadlescomb. Although there were bad times there were also games in which the team’s talent and determination came through. “I think our most exciting game was the last weekend against Indiana,” said Becksford. “We knew we were out of the Big Ten race but we still played tough. That the game went into extra innings tells a lot about the kids be­ cause they held together and really played ball.” The team had heart and talent but their luck just didn’t come through. “There was a lot of high expecta­ tions,” said Ovenhouse. “Things should have gone well but as a team it just didn’t come together.” Our hitting just didn’t come through for us like I wished it would have,” said Becksford. “Our team is young and they need more time. They have talent and will hopefully do great things in the future.” by Kim Alexander SCOREBOARD Won: 13, Lost: 34 Akron DePaul Massachusetts Eastern Illinois MO./St.Louis Iowa Iowa Central Western Northern Ill.

DRIVING DOWNFIELD, Adam Mueller goes one on one with a Denison College forward. Mueller was the top scorer of the season with 56 points. ALTHOUGH SUFFERING A LOSS in the hard­ hitting game against Denison, MSU earned its first spot in the NCAA playoffs, May 13 against North Carolina. THE SPARTAN DEFENSE sets up against Chica­ go Lacrosse Club, April 5. MSU defeated the team 14-11. Photos by Dave Pier ini Scoring in the Midwest In pre-season training, lacrosse coach, Rich Kimball said that his team had the potential to make it the best season ever. He was right. With a record of 11 wins and five losses, the team had the best season in the sport’s 17-year history at MSU. For the first time, the team earned a spot in the NCAA tournament. “We had more excitement and en­ thusiasm than we’d ever seen in Michi­ gan State lacrosse,” Kimball said. “We had the best depth ever and had some real talented people.” That depth was due, in a large part, to the talent and experience of the 13 letter-winners who returned, includ­ ing; Dan Christ, John Giampetroni, Rex Lynne, Adam Mueller and Kevin Rice, last season’s top scorers. Their leadership and talent, combined with the expansion of the NCAA field, gave the Spartans a critical edge. Kimball said that the expansion of the NCAA to field, from 10 to 12 teams was the biggest thing to happen to the MSU program. Michigan State’s district, the Great Lakes Con­ ference, was trimmed by one team, meaning that the Spartans only had to compete with Notre Dame, Ohio State and Air Force for the conference bid to the NCAA tourneys. However, according to Assistant Coach Greg Yengo earning the bid was still an uphill battle. “We doubted that we were going to get to go to the NCAAs at first be­ cause Air Force was doing so well,” he said. “We started out on an East Coast trip and lost a couple of games that we shouldn’t have, but when we came home we really got into form.” And indeed they did. The Spar­ tans won four home games in a row be­ fore losing a close one to Denison Col­ lege, 12-10. But the laxers bounced back and took their home game per­ formance on the road to Notre Dame, in what Yengo said was one of their most gratifying victories. “Notre Dame was a great game, we had a lot of fans and scored about ten times in a row,” he said. “We just seemed to click that day.” Individually, many team members seemed to click all season long. Adam Mueller, on attack, came out as the season’s top scorer with 34 goals and 22 assists, while Mark O’Brien, back from a leg injury in 1986, had 25 goals and 13 assists. Goaltender Chris Bar­ ber was in good form also, only allow­ ing 12 of 253 shots into the net. Although they lost to North Caro­ lina in the NCAA tournament, 21-5, Yengo said that just the opportunity to play on tournament level was an honor and gives the MSU program added credibility. “The tournament bid is going to help us in recruiting, definitely,” Yengo said. “It shows that we can com­ pete and will help bring lacrosse to the Midwest.” by Patricia Hamilton SCOREBOARD Won: 11, Lost: 5 Penn State Bucknell Mary Washington Drexel Bowdoin Wooster Ohio State Chicago L.

MSU ranked in the Big Ten, Fossum said. No, not the kind of drive pertain­ ing to automobiles, but the type needed on a golf course. “Of course the Spartan Invitation­ al is always important, because it’s our own tournament,” he added. Boasting a team of seasoned vet­ erans the men’s golf team has the drive to succeed on the green. According to Coach Bruce Fos­ sum, men’s golf enjoyed one of the most successful seasons at MSU. During the season, the team played in eight tournaments - winning 72 percent of the time, Fossum said. We were pretty competitive,” he added. “Men’s golf plays a major league schedule. We play the tough schools every week.” Tournaments that were important for the team included the. Badger Invi­ tational, Spartan Invitational, Mid­ American Invitation and the Big Ten Championship. The team stroked to a first place at the Badger Invitational held in Mad­ ison, Wis. However, during the Spartan Invi­ tational is when the team really got into the swing of things. Junior standout Jon Kosier, who was also captain of the team, made the event a memorable one as he captured an impressive victory on MSU greens. Kosier was the number one player on the team, and the only player from At the Big-American Invitational held may 8-10 at the Moore in Kalama­ zoo, the team enjoyed another impres­ sive finish. MSU placed second at this prestigious golf outing. “All of the A-l schools are invited (to the Moors) - all of the Big Ten schools and Mid-American Conference schools were there,” Fossum said. “We whipped every school except for Ohio State, and they finished top in the na­ tion.” The team placed fifth in the Big Ten Championship for the second year in a row. “The Big Ten Championship is al­ ways a key tournament for the team,” Fossum said. “But, this doesn’t reflect the way we were playing the season. “At the Big Ten it all came down to a couple of swings of the golf club,” he added. “The top five positions were separated by five shots - you can imag­ ine it was very close. We’re not happy with fifth in the Big Ten, but we have to accept it.” by Janie Matheson SCOREBOARD 5th in the Big Ten Iron Duke Purdue Invt. Marshall Invt. Kepler Invt. Badger Invt. Spartan Invt.

Well, the women’s golf team has more than a few success stories it would like to share. In addition to an impressive sec­ ond place in the Big Ten, several players were recognized for athletic and academic achievement. “It was really quite a feat gather­ ing so many honors,” said Coach Mary Fossum. “The highlight of the season came when we finished second in the Big Ten.” But, Fossum said she was also proud of her players being recognized for top honors within the University’s academic arena. If the women’s golf team could name one player as most outstanding it would surely be senior Lisa Marino. In addition to being captain of the 13-member team, Marino was named most valuable player with a 77.4 aver­ age per 34 rounds. She also played her way into a po­ sition on the women’s All Big Ten team and was recognized as MSU’s Sports­ woman of the Year. Marino’s biggest honor came when she won the Big Ten Medal of Honor for athletic and academic achievement. Marino shared the honor with football standout Dean Altobelli. “You hate to lose such a fine golf­ er and leader (like Marino),” Fossum said. “Lisa was an all-around fine ath­ lete and model student. She will be missed.” Another success story on the team was Kelly Holland. Holland boasted the second highest stroking average on the team with a 79.8. In addition, Holland was a runner- up in the Big Ten Tournament during the fall, Fossum said. Faith Egli following close behind Holland with a 79.9 average, garnering All-Big Ten honors.

Photos by Dave Pierini TAKING TIME OUT during a warm spring practice, Chris Clark relaxes to help ease the stress of a long day. Women’s Golf played a double season — fall and spring. Fossums tee for two He started out as the assistant bas­ ketball coach at MSU. She dropped out of school to pursue her golfing career. They both have two things in common, they are the coaches of the men’s and women’s golf teams and they are mar­ ried to each other. Bruce and Mary Fossum have been coaching the golf teams at MSU for a total of 33 years and in those years have amassed numerous awards. Among these awards are Bruce having been elected to the Coaches Hall of Fame two years ago, and Mary winning Coach of the Year honors in the Midwest and winning the state tournament. But those were not Mary’s great­ est thrills. “My greatest thrill was beat­ ing the Babe - Babe Didrickson,” she said. “Babe Didrickson dominated women’s golf the same way Babe Ruth dominated baseball.” Bruce started out his coaching ca­ reer at Western Wisconsin as the head basketball coach. After similar posi­ tions at various other Wisconsin col­ leges, he was signed on as an assistant basketball coach at MSU in 1959. In 1966, when the coaching staff went through a revision, Bruce was asked to serve as the head coach for the men’s golf team for MSU. During his years at MSU, Bruce won numerous awards besides his Hall of Fame distinction. He achieved a Master Clinician status, and served as the NCAA Golf Chairman for four years. Among the many outstanding players to have come from his ranks is Lynn Jansen. Most, however, went on to become club professionals at promi­ nent courses throughout the nation. In 1973, MSU started a women’s golf team. Knowing of Mary’s golfing career, MSU approached Bruce to see if Mary would consider the head coach­ ing position. Mary accepted, but said she “would not have done it if Bruce wasn’t already there.” When asked if there was any com­ petition between them, Mary said it was quite the opposite. “Bruce loves to work with the girls and supports them in every way,” she said. “We don’t have dual meets so we can’t keep records. Some people turn our tournament finishes into records, but that’s not right. “So we really have no way of tell­ ing who did better than the other,” Mary added. “As far as a dinner bet between us, it would never work be­ cause Bruce is such a good cook I would always want to lose!” Mary has had her share of golfers join the professional ranks as well. Bon­ nie Lauer has been on the tour since 1975, Sue Ertle since 1980, and Barb Nucha was the second leading money winner two years ago on the mini-tour. Mary said she expected Lisa Marino, one of MSU’s players, to join the tour in the future because she “has a great attitude and holds up in compe­ tition.” “That’s what you need to make it in this game, a strong, competitive atti­ tude,” she said. When the Fossums had dinner with their good friends, the Penningers (Mr. Penninger being MSU’s recently retired wrestling coach), they remi­ nisced afterwards. Mary remembered a time they had a tournament in Ken­ tucky and “we couldn’t leave until after 7:30 p.m. because one of the girls had an exam. As soon as she was done we took off, planning on driving into the night.” “After a while, we were pulled over. One of our tail lights was out. We explained our situation, and he let us off with a warning. When we were about an hour away from the tourna­ ment our lights started to dim, so we pulled into a 76 station, since I had a 76 credit card. We saw it was closed so we made a U-turn to get out. As luck would have it the flashers came on in the rear view mirror. He pulled us over and we told him our story too. He was so nice, he called the tow truck for us and even stayed there until it came. He explained this was a bad part of town. He was really nice! “Finally, we finished and when we got to the tournament it was 5:30 in the morning! We had drove the whole night! And the girls had to play that morning!” Soon all the success and fun times will come to a halt as retirement is com­ ing up. “I could coach until I’m 92,” Mary said, “But I imagine I’ll retire in five or six years.” With that day will come the end of long and successful coaching car­ eers, but not the friendships made along the way. “I still keep in touch with some of my players,” Mary said, “and I think that’s neat!” by Rick Kessler EMPHASIZING A POINT, Bruce instructs no­ preference freshman Brent Kish.

Sports clubs, also part of the IM program, cater to a variety of student interests ranging from traditional to the unusual. Some of the traditional clubs include bowling, aerobics, crew, and weightlifting. Specialized pro­ grams include wheel­ chair basketball, MSU feminist karate, hang gliding, sky diving, and aikido yoshinki. “Well over 1,000 students are taking part in sports clubs,” Mayer said. “IM programs are much larger than peo­ ple realize.” by Kim Alexander “Keeping physically fit is as im­ portant as keeping mentally fit,” said Denise Agin, criminal justice senior. This philosophy lead Agin and some 10,000 others to take advantage of a variety of intramural sports pro­ grams. “I would guess about twenty-five percent of the students take part in some type of recreational activity,” said Dennis Mayer, assistant director of intramural sports programs. The intramural sports programs, funded by a $960,000 budget, offers over thirty individual and team sports, several handicapper programs and more than forty sports clubs. Agin, who played co-rec softball and football, said intramurals was a great outlet for stress and tension. “There is no pressure,” Agin said. “Anyone can play, regardless of skill level because it’s just for fun.” Both fun and formal competition are very popular. “In terms of numbers of students participating, our most pop­ ular programs include water polo, ulti­ mate frisbee, and softball,” Mayer said. But softball by far is the biggest program with about 750 teams signed up for spring term, he added. “We have eleven diamonds with students playing Sunday through Thursday from 4:30 p.m. until midnight,” Mayer said.

Box Office Spectaculars battled the Uni­ versity in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids for the right to show pornographic films on campus and won. “When all the figures come in the porn fight will have cost the University over $70,000,” BOS adviser Lash Larrowe estimat­ ed. “The court fight was a gross misuse of the taxpayers money. It was ridiculous for the Uni­ versity to fight an issue doomed to fail.” Another first, was the requirement for all registered groups or organizations to have a faculty or staff adviser. According to Ezra Hyland, staff adviser in the Student Life Center, the rule was en­ forced to ensure continuity within the system. One of the most successful Special Olym­ pics in history kicked off Greek Week activi­ ties. Greek organizations raised thousands of dollars to coordinate the event. Special Olym­ pians from all over Michigan were invited to participate in the games which took place on the track. “This year starting Greek Week with Spe­ cial Olympics and making the event worth more competition points emphasized that the games take precedence over the week,” said Dave Robb, Inter-Fraternity Council vice pres­ ident of external affairs.

After obtaining land on Michigan Avenue at Delta Street and a spring term groundbreaking, work began on the project with a deadline of Fall, 1987. “Everyone is so excited,” said social chairman Kim Spooner. “We all have had input in choosing colors, furniture and designs. I can’t wait to move in,” said Spooner. After recolonizing the MSU chapter in 1985 and selling their old house, Gam­ twenty-five potted palms from Rent-a-Plant lined the basement walls of the Psi Upsilon fraternity house. Live vines and leaves covered entrance­ ways and jungle music blared from the sound system. Jungle Party 1987 was under way. Only two months earlier, fifty trays of grain alco­ hol Jell-o was hardening in the refrigerator. Steeped in tradition, a theme party gives Greeks the chance to get together, kick back, dress up and oc­ casionally give to a good cause. These events, with names like the Poly Party, Jell-o Party, Derby Days, Nuclear Fallout and Ship­ wreck, are anxiously awaited by most Greeks and pro­ vide fun that’s a little out of the ordinary. “Theme parties spice things up and they’re more fun than the typical bash,” Scott Bender, Interfrater­ nity Council vice president for new membership, said. ma Phi Beta began the process of rebuilding their chapter. For the first time in recent years, the house made quota during 1986 Fall rush. The rush process for sorori­ ties began with a slide show of Greek life and inspiring speeches that reassured the 1300 rushees that “They want you to like them as much as you want them to like you”. But, the 11 day process be­ came gradually more intense with each phase. The process was dictated by stringent rules including “There should be no Rushees at fraternity parties, TG’s, etc., by the arrangement of a sorority member”. “Rush is really competi­ tive,” said Alpha Phi member Sue Sekaras. “You are not al­ lowed to say ‘Hi’ to any of the Rushees since you may be in­ fluencing that person and that’s dirty rushing.” While Rushees felt that they were doing the difficult part of the rush process, Chi Omega member Terry Slocum disagreed. “Rush is just as hard for actives as it is for the Rushees.” For Slocum and the other members of her house, the de­ cision-making process of who to invite back could go into all hours of the night. At the same time in the fall, 1100 males underwent rush, but on a more informal basis. Rushing only the houses a Rushee was interested in, kept the men from going through the same long ordeal as the women, but it was no less tax­ ing. “Rushing is very tiring,” said Tau Kappa Epsilon mem­ ber Jeff Weaver. “It is four hours of small talk for three nights.” continued A CHILLY APRIL Saturday provides the setting for the start of the new Gamma Phi Beta sorority house. Chap­ ter president Kassie Kretzschmar and Georgia Hayden, adviser, perform the ceremonial groundbreaking. These themes were usually long established, but recently there had been some new twists. Toward winter term, Monopoly, Around-the- World, Passport parties and indoor progressives, provided a cure for the winter blahs. These parties are a little more spontaneous than the annual galas which required extensive planning and preparation. Sigma Chi's social committee, for example, began plan­ ning during the summer for their Derby Days and Shipwreck party, Bender said. Last year, theme parties raised about $5,000 for charitable organi­ zations. Aside from helping others, Bender said that theme parties also helped those in the Greek system. Theme parties spice things up and they’re more fun than the typical bash. “Theme parties cut down on the alcohol flow,” he said. “They’re fun without getting people messed up because they give them something else to concen­ trate on.” THE JELL-O JUNGLE Alpha Chi Omega ALPHA CHI OMEGA: Front Row: Kathy Hodges, Tracey Shenkus, Gerry Ocampo, Sheri Spencer, Missy Swiaki, Rayeanne Howes, Karen Kelly, Nichol Straka, Jeanie Koslowski, Georgian Trakas, Andrea Yip.

Breaking new ground After a term of pledge du­ ties ranging from social and civic duties to tending bar, rushees were finally rewarded with the chance to wear their Greek letters. Big brothers and big sisters were relieved of their duties of helping the pledge learn about Greek life. Slocum, who was a big sister, said, “A big sister is mainly a bond between the pledge and Chi Omega. It just comes naturally.” While each house had their . share of parties and individual activities, Greeks were most actively seen by the communi­ ty promoting Greek life and providing funds for favorite philanthropies. Fraternity/Community Re­ lations and Neighborhood weekend was an opportunity for area residents to visit fra­ ternity houses and discuss re­ lations openly. The event was co-sponsored by East Lansing Human Rela­ tions Commission and Bailey Community. Executive vice-president of Interfraternity Council Glenn Stevens said, “My fraternity (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) had an open house and refreshments, but no one attended. The one held at the Bailey Community Center the day before was more successful. It’s hard to get residents to take time out to visit the fraternity houses.” Stevens added, “Residents had a problem with noise from fraternities and we just wanted to reach a happy medi­ um.” Meet the Greeks was an event sponsored by Panhellen- ic Council and IFC to recruit more people and to inform people of Greek life through a question and answer session and skits. Other theme days included a Mom’s Day, a Dad’s Day, and a Parent’s Weekend. Sek- aras described Dad’s Day for Alpha Phi's as a brunch, a football game, and a visit to Dooley’s. “It was a lot of fun to party with dad for the first time,” said Sekaras. “These type of days are a great oppor­ tunity for your parents to meet all the other girls.” Valentine’s Day brought Alpha Phis to the homes and classrooms of unexpecting stu­ dents who received singing telegrams. Although the at­ tention was embarrassing for some recipients, the telegrams raised $600 for the American Heart Association. Eighteen fraternities com­ peted in the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash with water events including the popular synchronized swimming to raise $300 for the Michigan School for the Blind and $3000 for Delta Gamma's na­ tional philanthropy. Sigma Chi captured first place for the second year, fol­ lowed by Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Nu. Prior to the Splash, the DG’s were able to evaluate fraternities on more than their athletic abilities. Delta Gamma member Kari Cramer likened the com­ petition between representa­ tives from each house for the title of Mr. Anchor Splash to a male Miss America contest. Mr. Anchor Splash was from Sigma Chi with runner-ups from Delta Chi and Delta Tau Delta. continued for many Greeks, the fraternity house becomes their home away from home. But Alpha Gamma Rho frater­ nity has a homey element that you can’t find at the other fraternities — Alpha Gamma Rho has a Mom. Virginia Hill began her position as housemother to Al­ pha Gamma Rho at the beginning of fall term. Previously, Hill had been a housemother at Chi Omega Sorority. “It’s been real different working with boys,’’ Hill said. “They’re very gentlemanly. They’ve received me very gra- ciously.” When asked if the boys acted any differently than she expected, Hill re­ plied, “I had been told — well, you see ’Animal House’ and stuff like that.’’ She added, “But, they’re what I have thought fraternity boys should be. I’m very im­ pressed with their manners.” Hill’s duties for her first year includ­ ed hostessing parties, helping out with studies, and assisting with decision mak­ ing. She also worked with the steward planning meals, and she reported every other week at the fraternity’s formal meeting. ... They’re what I thought fraternity boys should be. I’m very impressed with their manners. “I was probably the most hesitant about a housemother,” said Bob du- Chene, a three-year member of Alpha Gamma Rho, and a member of the com­ mittee to elect the housemother. Du- Chene said that he voted in favor of Hill because, “She’d been around the MSU campus before . . . She understands that boys will be boys.” “I’m just here to be a friend,” Hill said. “It’s a whole new experience for them and for me. We’re learning and planning together ... I’m just a good mom away from home.” MOTHER'S DAYS FARMHOUSE FARMHOUSE: First Row: Shawn Newport, Steve Good, Clarence Humphrey, Charles Koenn, Dan Misiora, Dr. Donald Hillmann-Advisor.

STUDENTS FROM Benton Harbor visited the Phi Kappa Tau house to meet the members who had been their pen pals for the school year.

BENTON HARBOR STUDENTS with their Phi Kappa Tau pen pals took a tour of the university, which included stops at the Kresge Art Center. fun. Now, some mean business; or science or engineer­ ing or agriculture. traditionally, a fraternity meant parties, friends and There were approximately 12 professional fraternities on campus this year. These were, for the most part, career oriented, coed groups which gave students the opportunity to meet others in their major. They also provided an impor­ tant link to the professional community. Of these, two were the same as other Greek system fra­ ternities, they had a house, pledges, parties and everything else that went along with being Greek. Carl Haeger, president of Triangle, said that the only difference was that they just selected engineering, science and math majors as members. “It makes for a better study environ­ ment. It’s a little more academic, but pro­ fessional houses aren’t that different from any other Greek house,” he said. Professional fraternities weren’t re­ ally as formal as many people may have thought, but through informal means, members learned from each other. “We don’t hold symposiums or tour plants as a house,” Haeger said, “but we have seniors who are already out there in­ terviewing and sophomores and juniors pick things up.” Aside from the obvious benefit of having plenty of help available for home­ work, professional, live-in fraternities such as Triangle and Alpha Kappa Psi, the business fraternity, provide an even stronger link to the business community. It’s a little more academic, but professional houses aren’t that different from any other Greek house. “Of course it’s nice to have brothers in your major in the same house, rather than having to run across campus,” Haeger said. “It not only makes for better career options, but living in this kind of fraternity is a good way to comple­ ment your major.” BUSINESS FIRST AKA ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA: Front Row: Allison Prince, Kim Allen, Daphne Turpin, Dilagene Davis, Savarior Moss, Annazette Venable, Daina Perry.

Breaking new ground While many Greek events raised money for charity, Phi Kappa Tau participated in one that made friendships and in­ spired children from an eco­ nomically depressed area. Pat Guarnaccia, a commu­ nication and Urban Affairs graduate student brought Phi Kappa Tau members to Ben­ ton Harbor to meet with stu­ dents and begin a pen pal pro­ gram relationship. The highlight for the stu­ dents was a visit to MSU to see their pen pals and tour the Phi Kappa Tau house. For most of them, it was the first time they had ever seen a Big-10 University or been out of Benton Harbor, accord­ ing to Guarnaccia. “Their teacher was really excited about it and so were the students. They were really excited about reading and writing afterwards, and since they were remedial students, it was great for them,” said Guarnaccia. More students became part of the Greek system during winter rush. Lisa Toth, vice- president for pledge education said, “Winter rush was very, very successful. Two houses made quota, Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Mu." Greek women worked with Students Against Multiple Sclerosis in MTV Bar Night lip sync contest at Sensations for the kick-off to Greek Week activities in March. Point winning sororities in­ cluded Sigma Kappa taking first place with “Rum Turn Tugger” from Cats, second place went to Alpha Xi Delta with “Congo” and Zeta Tau Alpha took third with “Hot Lunch Jam.” Another March activity that accumulated points for Greek Week was 50s Bar Night. Alpha Phi and Theta Chi, in first, Alpha Chi Ome­ ga and Sigma Chi, in second, and Sigma Kappa and Sigma Nu in third earned early points toward their Greek Week totals. continued Sigma Kappa Phi Kappa Psi SIGMA KAPPA: First Row: Betsy Bloemendaal.

Breaking new ground To help participants in Fall Rush, Panhellenic Council chose Rush Counselors or Rho Chis to help the rushees through the nearly two-week long ordeal. According to Toth, the in­ terview process was a difficult one. “It was extremely grueling. About 115 girls went through and we could only choose 61.” said Toth. For Kappa Kappa Gamma junior Maureen Cavanaugh Rho Chi interviews meant us­ ing your ability to think on your feet. “They present you with sit­ uations and ask ‘How would you handle this? What would you do?’” said Cavanaugh. Counselors were chosen on ability to remain impartial. “You have to be empathetic and sympathetic,” said Toth. “And you have to be knowl­ edgeable about the entire pro­ cess.” “They want you to disasso­ ciate from the Greek system entirely and be neutral. Dur­ ing the interview they wanted to see if you were someone people could feel they could turn to talk to, ” said Cav­ anaugh, who earned a spot on the team of Rho Chis. Panhellenic Council planned a later Rush this year to make the process an easier one. Rho Chis were expected to be back at school one week early to plan for the event. They were also prohibited from living in their sorority house or from wearing any Greek letters. This was to avoid influencing rushees in any way.

Breaking new ground Slightly rusty, taped up and very used, a borrowed Volkswagen Rabbit sat in the middle of the Psi Upsilon front lawn. “We would like to thank the Last Chance Volkswagen for lending us their car,” said Keith Kaminski over the loud­ speaker. With that, the annual Psi Upsilon car-stuff began. The event lasted for nearly six hours with different houses in the process of preparing to stuff. According to Kaminski, coordinator, the event is fun because excitement builds as as more people are forced into the car. After signing release forms and removing shoes and jewel­ ry, participants were ready to stuff. “For everything that was going on at the same time, things were well organized,” said Larry Calcaterra a sopho­ more member of Psi Upsilon.

If you think this could only happen in the Twilight Zone, then prepare to be sur­ prised if you go on one of Kappa Alpha Theta’s mys­ tery trips. Mystery trips are a tradition at Kappa Alpha Theta, taking place every winter term. This year, on February 28, four Greyhound buses were taken to des­ tination unknown. the women’s title, this year by stuffing 37 members into the car. Beta Theta Pi were win­ ners in the men’s division. Beta Theta Pi won another event, this time along with Sigma Delta Tau sorority. This event didn’t require stuff- ing-in, but sliming-in. Alpha Gamma Delta ’s “Slime-In” was a muddy free- for-all, where houses earned points from finding colored golf balls in a 15 foot by 12 foot pit of mud. The Alpha Gam’s broke tradition and held the event on the lawn of their Greek Sing partner fraternity, Pi Lambda Phi. continued ALPHA GAMMA DELTA’S annual Slime-In gets a little messy as Sigma Nu junior Peter MacGregor pulls his opponent into the muck. In the event, participants had 60 seconds to search through the mud for golf balls. “No one except the social chair­ person knew where we were going,” marketing junior Ann Jereck said. “As we saw the signs we finally guessed we were going to Kalamazoo but we didn’t know why.” Kappa Alpha Theta’s trip was destined for the Kalamazoo State Theater and a night of movies, danc­ ing and fun. People could watch Star Trek IV, dance to the music from a disc jockey or sample the food and the drinks at a cash bar. No one except the social chairman knew where we were going. “The theater was gorgeous,” English education sophomore Lori Miheve said. “We had the whole place to ourselves with a certain area designated for dancing. When you got tired of dancing you could take a break and watch the movie.” Although the mystery trip is a tradition, this trip had a greater selection of activities than others in the past. “The trip last year was fun but all you could really do was talk and dance,” interior design sophomore Sheila Tadych said. “Being in a movie theater was un­ expected and unusual. It was kinda like a playground because there was a lot of room to run around.” BUS TO THE UNKNOWN Lambda Chi Alpha LAMBDA CHI ALPHA: Front Row: Rick Muleroni, Dave Osland, Gerry Finnazo, Herb Stephens, Mike Muffley, Larry, Anthony Joseph, Mike Moldenhauer, Matt Uphoff, Pat Colton, Pete Noto, Mark Trimper.

Dave Buckley, member of Lambda Chi Alpha and Kris Klinkner, member of Kappa Delta earned Greek Man and Woman of the year awards for their service to their houses and the Greek system. Encouragement and inter­ action with the mentally and physically impaired became, perhaps the Greek System’s brightest moment on May 1, the day of Special Olympics. Participation from all hous­ es was expected. Atten­ dance at Special Olympics continued A Slideshow of memories, the announcement of Greek Man and Woman of the Year and announcement of the win­ ners of Greek Week made Songfest an exciting conclu­ sion to Greek Week. Karen Clement and Tom Smith hosted the night which included 17 original acts and an all-house opening number. The team of Kappa Delta and Beta Theta Pi earned a first overall for their perform­ ance. Sigma Kappa and Sigma Nu placed second followed by Kappa Alpha Theta and Pi Kappa Phi in third. Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Epsilon Pi were honored for Best Costumes. Phi Mu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon earned Most Creative Original Act, and the team of Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Tau Omega were honored for Best Theme Jean Zaren the seventh annual Special Olympics on Friday, May 1, 1987. more than 2000 Greek men and women revved up for Organization by co-chair Delta Chi member Doug John­ ston and Pi Beta Phi member Tammy Miller, began in late De­ cember with coordination and fundraisers. Bar nights at Ameri­ ca’s Cup was a big hit and provided a strong source of revenue. Also, Greeks sold about 6500 raffle tickets at $1 each, raffling off prizes donated by area businesses. I know what it’s like to be able to walk and move and I’m extremely grateful. I feel it’s the smallest thing I can do to give some­ thing back. Overall, more than $8000 was raised for the event, tripling last year’s budget. The proceeds went toward purchasing t- shirts, buttons, and lunch for the athletes. Remaining funds were donated to Special Olympics Area Eight for a computer sys­ tem and equipment. “The Greeks did a great job. I’m really impressed,” said Johnston, “They really worked with all the different athletes and really cared, which was nice.” Area eight covers most of Ingham County, of which 32 schools took part in this Special Olympics. Athletes ranging in age from 7 to 62 participated in long jump and high jump competitions, the balloon toss, and the beanbag toss. Wheelchair events included the 50- and 100-meter dashes and the softball throw. There were also 50- and 100-meter dashes and a 400m walk for those on foot. For everyone, the Special Events category provided face painting and singalongs, and clowns who handed out helium-filled balloons. “You’re there to provide support and let them know that somebody really does care. It’s the Greek way of showing society, saying, ‘Hey, look’,” said Kappa Sigma member Jim Weber, who was a hugger for the Olympics. “I know what it’s like to be able to walk and move and I’m extremely grateful.

Pi Beta Phi member Tam­ my Miller and Delta Chi member Doug Johnston were the co-chairs in charge of the event. The two coordinated the event with local schools for the impaired and Michigan Spe­ cial Olympics. A raffle and bar nights raised $8,000 for Michigan Special Olympics. $3,800 was used to provide lunch for the 600 athletes and 100 coaches attending and to purchase bal­ loons and flowers given out by 50 volunteer clowns. “It’s more than the Greek system, because helping others is what life is all about,” said Tim Sheridan, Phi Delta Theta junior. “It is inspiring to see the smiles and joy in the athletes,” said Sheridan. MSU Greeks participated as timers, event officiators and “huggers” encouraging par­ ticipants to do their best. Theta Chi fraternity mem­ bers brought guitars to the field and started sing-alongs with the children participat­ ing. Singing, flowers, balloons and clowns helped the chil­ dren to get to know and open up to MSU Greeks. “I was proposed to,” said Paula Vercruysse, Kappa Kappa Gamma sophomore and a “hugger”. “I was helping to encourage kids before they raced. One boy had a deep look of concen­ tration, so I asked him if he was thinking about the race,” said Vercruysse. “He told me he was thinking about college women. Then he asked me to marry him.” “They can really open up to you if you spend the time with them.” “It all makes me think about what I have. I feel so lucky. Your problems seem so small compared to the things some of those kids face.” said Vercruysse. “It gets you fired up to see people who don’t take things for granted and enjoy their lives to the fullest,” added Sheridan.

From rallies to rodeos Attending a university of over 40,000 students can make anyone feel like a number. Fortunately there were some 300 registered student organizations (RSO’s) that made the campus a more per­ sonal place. These organiza­ tions are an outlet for creative ideas, personal enjoyment and concerns about issues affect­ ing both the community and the university. This year the RSO’s took on a new look. In the fall, rules were changed for RSO’s, requiring all groups to submit a written constitution, a registration card, have an advisor, and an advisor’s card to the Student Life Center. Prior to this year, only a registration card was needed to be an RSO, accord­ ing to Billy Dexter, Asst, to Director of Student Activities. “There was a lot of confu­ sion because the students were hit with these new procedures so we put together a packet of information and sample con­ stitution for them. Now the majority of RSO’s seem to know the process,” Dexter said. Along with the new process, organizations found many old and new issues to tackle. Box Office Spectaculars maintained its controversial reputation by showing every­ thing from a Christian film to a pornographic homosexual film for their interpretation of Gay Pride Week. With the uproar about last year’s “Spartan School for Sex” not nearly forgotten, BOS hoped for as much suc­ cess in the Christian film in­ dustry. Unfortunately, only seven people came for the showing of “Nite Song.” Ac­ cording to BOS president To- shiya Sugiera, Christians boy­ cotted the movie because they were afraid their money would be used for future pornogra­ phic films. The BOS group also had concerns about finding an ad­ visor, which was no easy task for such a controversial group. According to Sugiera, they had to find a professor who was radical enough to help them. Lash Larrowe was their answer. “He was very happy to help us,” said Sugiera. He added that the group planned to continue featuring pornographic films along with other less controversial films such as “Videodrome.” The student government, Associated Students of Michi­ gan State University (ASMSU), also had its share of controversy. ASMSU tackled the explo­ sive issues of apartheid and Cedarfest, along with other problems with mopeds, block tuition and access to the Jack Breslin Student Events Cen­ ter, said Lance Brown, Execu­ tive Director. “We also worked on inter­ nal measures such as recruit­ ing a larger body of volunteers and receiving better participa­ tion from the whole student body,” added Brown. Another concern for ASMSU was the referendum placed before students to continued VOLUNTEERS AID in building the ASMSU sponsored shanty to protest MSU Foundation holdings in South Africa.

OVER 200 STUDENTS and area resi­ dents gathered at Beaumont Tower for a candlelight vigil to raise awareness about rape. Sociology senior Julie Ranns battles cold temperatures to participate in the event. HANDICAPPED AND MOBILE peo­ ple alike rallied in front of the adminis­ tration building to urge MSU to make more buildings barrier-free. LaVern Pennington Patty Hamilton amid cries of student apathy, student organizations, committed to the divestment of money in South Africa by the MSU Foundation, managed to make their pleas be heard. Permission for the erection of a shanty outside the Ad­ ministration Building was granted by Moses Turner, vice president for student affairs and services. The shanty was built to represent the poor housing conditions of many South African blacks and was an effort to persuade the MSU Foun­ dation to divest its $500,000 holdings in that country. La Vern Pennington CIRCLE K Front Row: Tanya Gazdik, Karen Christensen, Pam Lentine, Mike Dolenga, Lee Stoutenburg, Kevin Mina, Dan Hart, Dave Dumez, Julie Thompson, Ken Dimoff, Craig Sumerix “The MSU Foundation divestment was a major issue because MSU was the first public institution to divest its holdings in South Africa,” said ASMSU Executive Director Maria Ladas. “That last amount of money the Foundation ... MSU was the first public institution to divest its hold­ ings in South Africa. had invested tainted that image.” ASMSU sponsored a bill demand­ ing that the MSU Foundation divest those monies. They also provided the $112 needed to build the shanty. One group involved extensively was the South Africa Liberation Committee(SALC). “We got the idea from other univer­ sities who assembled similar shanties,” said Theresa Culpert, president of SALC. “We did what we could to edu­ cate people by handing out packets of in­ formation on the issues.” Students cheered the Foundation’s decision in early December to divest. “I think the shanty was a factor in the Foundation’s decision,” said Culpert. “When you have 300 people in a board­ room you are going to do what you can to appease them.” APATHY ACTION From rallies to rodeos er on campus. Their main efforts, however, was the Can­ dlelight Vigil to protest the rape threat on campus. i four television stations and the - Lansing State Journal of some s preventative measures that supporters wanted the admin- maintain the tax base of $4.50 per student. Students reaf­ firmed their commitment to ASMSU by a vote of 4 to 1. Other groups also dealt with controversial issues. The National Organization of Women Campus Task Force found an unending bat­ tle of informing students about rape. NOW sponsored an Inter­ national Women’s Day which featured art and clothing from other cultures. They also invit­ ed Guardian Angel leader Curtis Sliwa as a guest speak- “Women are sick of it and finally realize something is wrong when they can’t feel safe doing their laundry at night or go to the library,” said international relations junior Karen Schumacker. The vigil involved both fe­ male and male participants who were concerned with the amount of assaults that oc­ curred on campus. The event included an announcement to When fifteen feet tall snowmen, Santa Clauses, and carolers appeared on eastern campus, some students were only angered by the sight of the Christmas decorations. Although the decorations brightened eastern campus, the 5 figure bill caused debate between those who felt the spending was too extravagent for decora­ tions and those who felt the $1.50 per student cost wasn’t unreasonable. The reason for putting the decorations on Owen, McDonnel, Holmes, Akers and Hubbard Hall were two-fold, according to Residence Halls Manager Chuck Gagliano. The first reason was that the University Housing Pro­ gram wanted to minimize the cost for Christmas decorations and as well as making a statement of continuous visibility, said Gagliano. If they spent all the money “We tried to make a differ­ ence for those women who have been victims by giving them information on services available to them,” said Deb Donovan. “These women are incredibly isolated, the march gave them a sense of commu­ nity and network of support.” Donovan, along with MSU students, alumni and em­ ployees, formed the Take Back The Night Task Force. These women were all in­ volved in other support groups and committees dealing with women’s issues and sexual as­ sault. “Anytime you get these issues in the news it increases awareness and gets people to take action,” added Donovan. Increasing awareness was also the focus of a student fo­ rum to combat racism. ASMSU, in conjunction with of the National Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Colored People and the Na- continued istration to enforce. Other groups also spoke out 1 against the violence. A statewide march was held in Lansing and on campus to protest violence against wom­ en and children. The “Take Back The Night” march, held on May 16, was named in the tradition of marches in the 1970’s. Nearly 2,000 women and children marched to protest violence commited against them. The march began at day­ light, with the march through campus preceding and joining the march to the capitol. At the state capitol there was a rally where professionals from government, child abuse, mental health, self defense and other issues spoke. This rally was followed by a candle­ light healing. Despite the reasoning by RHA, many students remained adamently opposed to the purchase of the de­ corations. “1 thought they looked really tacky. If they spent all the money 1 heard they spent on Christmas de­ corations, they wasted our money,” said business junior Phil Slocum. I heard they spent on Christmas dec­ orations, they wasted our money.

SAMS also held a MTV “Rock-A-Like” lip sync con­ test at Sensations on February 25. The school that raised the most money during the year would have the concert of its choice sponsored by MTV, said Brent Cohnm a spokes­ person for SAMS. Another organization took a more lively approach to rais­ ing funds. The MSU Rodeo Club hos­ ted an annual rodeo the last week of February, said Julie Mackie, an animal science sophomore and Rodeo Queen. Mackie and 13 others par­ ticipated in events of the 18th Annual Spartan Stampede. Another annual event that was thrown just for fun was the Evan Scholars Casino Night.

For lexicologists, it’s flamboyance in style. For the university, it’s a new registered student organization. For students, Panache is the college magazine that sizzles. “We’re still getting started,” said Panache’s Michi­ gan State representative, Wes Henry. Together with Janine Smith, journalism junior, Henry writes copy, sells ads, and gathers photos for the local section in the college magazine, under the advisory of Lash Larrowe. These materials are sent to editor and publisher Michael Weiss in New York, where a staff handles editing, layout, and printing. “We do all the fundamentals and they handle the artistic stuff,” said Henry, a English senior. (Panache is) being able to carry a full load of classes and maintain graceful personal style . . . After being printed by Win Rec­ ords and Video, Inc., copies are sent back to MSU and other participating colleges for distribution by the local staffs. Each college receives a national core magazine with a specialized, local section in the center, written by staffs located on campus. Panache agreed to print four issues its first year in print, and six times yearly in subsequent years. “The focus (of the magazine) is on college students and events. Students that have a certain panache,” Henry explained, noting that some features adapt a Rolling Stone style, with more prose than news content. And what is “panache”? Henry said, “it allows you to achieve in other areas of life at the same time.” PANACHE ADDS 'U' From rallies to rodeos “We are the only chapter of 15 Evan Scholars who have a Casino Night,” said criminal justice junior Konrad Molter. After several hours of gam­ bling, prizes were awarded to the couples with the most chips. Swatch watches were awarded to the winning couple and a $30 gift certificate to Bennigan’s was the second place prize. Other prizes such as gift certificates from Crun­ chy’s and Melting Moments as well as other glasses were raffled. “This year’s casino night was nicer than last year’s,” said Molter. “My friends won the gift certificate to Benni­ gan’s so they took my girl­ friend and me. It was nice.” Another organization that has improved was the campus radio station, WLFT. This year they received bad­ ly needed equipment, includ­ ing a $20,000 board with ste­ reo capabilities, enabling them to broadcast over cable station FM 103.7, in Brody Hall. Although they had to time­ share with Haslett High School, WLFT was negotiat­ ing with United Cable to get their own frequency according to Ed Creech, assistant sports director. While WLFT called them­ selves a new music station, they offered a wide range of programming including Christian rock on Sundays, a reggae show, and a jazz show. The station also offered a weekly series called “Zip Bai­ ley”, which Creech described as a cross between Star Wars and the Jetsons. WLFT broadcasted news and sports featuring play by play’s of men’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s baseball, women’s basketball and they were the flagship station of Spartan hockey. continued I’d rather see students get involved and do something important.

Six thousand green balloons floated out of Spartan Stadium before the Homecoming kickoff, and over 300 clowns, balloon blowers and make-up people heaved a sigh of relief. Their day began at 4 a.m. blowing up balloons, dressing and making up clowns. “We had a couple of clowns from Clown Alley come down and we just slapped white on everyone and went back and put color on everyone,” John Sauve, founder of Campus Clowns said. “It was a clown as­ sembly line. We owe it all to Henry Ford.” The clowns sold balloons for $1 a piece to release at kick off. The money benefitted over 50 area United Way agencies. The Campus Clowns in their first year as a regis­ tered student organization had a membership of over 300 students and raised over $6,000 in one morning. But Sauve. ASMSU chairperson, said that that wasn’t their greatest accomplishment. “My goal was to get people involved,” he said. “They always wanted to get involved, but didn’t know what they could do. This gave them something to do.” Campus Clowns was begun when Sauve was serv­ ing on the United Way Committee and wanted to show that students could contribute, too. I was tired of listening to the retirement commit­ tee say that they raised $3,000 at some dinner party and wanted to show that we could do something too. Sauve said that the group in­ volved students from every part of the university and from every race and ethnic group represented on campus. “For that its worth more than the money,” Sauve said, “I’d rather see students get involved and do something important. The money was a bonus.” The group also provided enter­ tainment and enjoyment to hundreds of children this year. Campus Clowns participated in the Special Olympics, Interfraternity Neighbor­ hood Day and has performed at the St. Vincent’s Home for Children among others. The group is currently petition­ ing for a place on the the ASMSU programming board so it will have a source of funding and permanent of­ fice space so it can keep on clowning.

From rallies to rodeos Meeting the goals they set was also the object of the Southern African Liberation Committee (SALC). SALC wanted the MSU Foundation to divest its money from South Africa. They set up a shanty in front of the Ad­ ministration building on No­ vember 17-26 to encourage the Foundation to divest and to protest the living conditions of blacks in South Africa. The shanty was later re­ placed with a coffin painted with the following reminder: “In memory of those who have died in the struggle for free­ dom in South Africa. Their spirit of freedom lives on.” It was taken to a board meeting and soon after the Foundation removed invest­ ments from South Africa. SALC also held a benefit “Music Blowout” concert in April which raised $350 to send some of their members to Washington, D.C. to march in the National Mobilization for Peace and Justice in Central America and Southern Africa. Approximately 250 students arrived for the 15-band con­ cert. Another concert students could enjoy was the annual spring concert sponsored by the Residence Hall Associa­ tion. Several local bands played at the free concert and unlike the previous year, stu­ dents enjoyed the music on a warm, sunny day. An annual event that wasn’t as successful was the concrete canoe contest sponsored by the American Society of Civil En­ gineers. This national organization sponsors the event annually and schools compete in Ohio to see whose canoe will float the longest. MSU’s chapter always does well in this contest and fin­ ished first last year. This year, however, was an exception to the rule. “Our canoe broke in half LaVern Pennington before we even got it in the wa­ ter,” said civil engineering se­ nior Gene Gardella. “We did win the concrete frisbee con­ test though.” Civil engineering students also sponsored another unusu­ al contest. MSU’s first pasta-bridge contest was held on April 25. Twenty Michigan high schools competed in the event, building model bridges made of only pasta and glue. Bridges had to be big enough to cross a 24 inch span and accomodate a four-by- four inch “vehicle” and carry at least a two-pound load. Entries were judged on load-to-weight ratio, design drawings and the quality of construction. “We expect it to be an an­ nual event,” said Assoc. Civil Engineering professor Dr. Francis McKelvey. “We had a good response from all of the schools.” The school that won the contest was Lansing Catholic Central. Their bridge was made out of thin #5 spaghetti. “It was a positive learning experience for the kids,” said James Perkins, director of ar- continued It’s the only way you can go to a Detroit Tiger game, Billy Joel concert, hayrides, sleigh rides, and special dinners with a bunch of members of the opposite sex you don’t even know —and have fun in the process. You don’t know them yet, but you will just by going with them to events like these. “The purpose of brother-sister floors is for people to get to know each other. Residence halls are more fun when you know more people,” Shaw Hall Graduate Advisor Genny Shields said. “What we try to do is encourage interactions between stu­ dents and this is one of the best ways.” Besides the previous activities, another big item between brother-sister floors is Pixie week. Pixie week is a day by day gift exchange with your pixie. The best part of it is that they don’t know who is giving them gifts. At the end of the week everyone finds out who was pixieing them in a reverse pixie party. The gifts are given under themes as well; green and white day, sweets and sugar day, and kinky day were the most common. “It’s good to get to know people in your own hall,” Paul Chuckran, a 2W Shaw Res­ ident Advisor, said. “We try to set up a posi­ tive atmosphere and keep up good relation­ ships.” "The purpose of brother-sister floors is for people to get to know each other." Some floors take their brother-sister floor relationships one step further. Mem­ bers of 4A Armstrong from four years ago and their sister floor from Yakeley from four years ago have kept up a Jai-Hai Cock­ tail Party tradition for four years. “It is an invitation only, semi-formal, bring-a-date social event,” packaging junior Chris Dunn said. “It is a lot of fun, too!” “It’s just another group of people to associate with,” 7E Shaw Resident Advisor Kim Godfrey said. “It helps to develop unity.” FAMILY FLOORS THE SOCIETY OF ENGINEERING ARTS Front Row: John Warner, Cindy Hanson, Carolyn Alexandar, Maura McBride, Dave Williamson, Molly Hunter, Laura Toth, Mike Nolta, Paul von Behren. LOCAL GROUPS, including Lansing’s Council Against Domestic Assault joined the “Take Back the Night” march, May 16.

Forestry professor Larry Leefers at the Forestry Club annual shindig held at Demonstration Hall in Feb­ ruary. The fundraiser drew about 50 faculty and students. Janis Matheson Voting in a referendum held every three years, students said “yea” their voice in university programs, the Asso­ ciated Students of Michigan State University. They ap­ proved the continuation of the $4.50 tax per student per term necessary to carry out ASMSU’s functions. Also approved was each student’s option to apply for a refund for this tax within the first 10 class days of each term. Students passed a proposition from the Council of Gradu­ ate Students to raise the COGS tax from $1.50 to $2.00 per term. This additional 50 cents per student makes it possible for graduate students to receive free legal consultation from ASMSU legal services. A motion to add representatives from the James Madison college and the new Coalition of Progressive Students was also given a nod, allowing representation from the Lesbian/Gay Council and the Handicapper’s Council. La Vern Pennington According to ASMSU’s incoming Ex­ ecutive Director Lance Brown, ASMSU provides representation from the student body and a fulfillment of “needs that go be­ yond the general populace.” These goals are attained through programs such as ASMSU Legal Services, especially with the addition of a student defender program. Undergraduate typesetting is provided through Market Media, and $45 loans are available to students who have paid their ASMSU tax. Funding for registered stu­ dent organizations is also provided through ASMSU. “As we take in student tax dollars, we give it right back to students,” Brown said. Communications sophomore Michelle "As we take in student tax dollars, we give it right back to stu­ dents" Smielewski voted yes because she likes what ASMSU has to of­ fer. “Basically my reason for supporting ASMSU is because of the relationship 1 have with my organization. I work a lot with RHA, and ASMSU helps these smaller groups.. .The services they provide on campus are really beneficial for students.” APPROVING ASMSU RED CEDAR LOG Front Row: Janis Matheson, Liz Krebs.

They later refined the design on a computer.” “We are anticipating a large increase in the drafting and design programs,” said Perkins. “The kids are all very interested in it. We definitely plan to enter the pasta bridge contest next year.” Men were the focus of an­ other contest on campus. While beauty contests were tough to win, few male contes­ tants realized an un-beauty contest wasn’t easy either. Men were sponsored or nomi­ nated in a competition for the Toilet Seat Award in the “Ugly Man on Campus Con­ test.” The contest was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity. This was the fourth consecutive year the contest was held, although it was originated in 1950. Over $2,000 was raised as student groups hoped that their nominee was truly the ugliest. Students were urged to vote for their favorite con­ testant with a penny amount­ ing to one vote. The surprise winner was write-in candidate Phil Duran, a student from Case Hall, said Mike Mort- loch, spokesman for Alpha Phi Omega. Many RSOs were winners of awards for outstanding achievement in different areas of campus life. One organization that re­ ceived a prestigious award for their efforts was the Hotel, Sales, and Marketing Associ­ ation (HSMS). For the second year, they won the award for internation­ al chapter of the year, said Mike Nelson, an HSMS member. In order to receive the award, which originated only two years ago, the group had to compete with 33 other student chapters in the coun­ try. The award was based on their activities, fundraising, philanthropy, and educational program, as evaluated by a committee of hotel industry professionals. Their biggest event was their sales blitzes, which test­ ed the selling skills of six to eight students working at ho­ tels for door-to-door sales work. “Having HSMSon your re­ sume can be a great advantage since employers are impressed by it,” said Nelson. At the fourth annual Stu­ dent Organization Awards ceremony eight other organi­ zations were honored for their contributions to the communi­ ty and the University. Any student organization may be nominated for these awards, but the winners are those who demonstrate out­ standing contributions. Although only a few win, all student organizations are a valuable part of MSU and give students valuable learn­ ing experience often not avail­ able through traditional chan­ nels. continued MUNN FIELD provides the open area needed for the Residence Halls Asso­ ciation’s spring concert. Students packed up blankets, towels and bev­ erages, and enjoyed the free admission and music. From rallies to rodeos The Student Organizations that were recognized for out­ standing contribution are: The Committee to Com­ memorate Martin Luther King Jr., for program of the year. The Student Alumni Foun­ dation for overall enhance­ ment of the University. Friends of the Listening Ear, for community involve­ ment. Tower Guard, for student welfare. Southern African Libera­ tion Committee, for special­ ized programing. James Eckert, a marketing junior and member of the MSU Sailing Club, for out­ standing leadership of an or­ ganization. Shina Steinberg, outstand­ ing adviser of the Asian Pacif­ ic American Student Organi­ zation. Joan Wolf, a James Madi­ son sophomore in the Wilson Hall government, for out­ standing new member of the year. These awards were deter­ mined by an award committee of students, faculty and ad­ ministrators. More than 40 applications were reviewed be­ fore the selection of winners was made. Student Organizations cov­ er the wide variety of interests and tastes that exist at a Uni­ versity of over 40,000 stu­ dents. They serve to entertain, educate, experiment and help students learn about them­ selves. by Kim Alexander and Margo Moses CAMPUS MARCHERS join the state­ wide “Take Back the Night” march held May 16.

STUDENTS SEARCH for the colored dots during Marketing Association’s giant Twister game, May 15. Jean Zaren Plus Signs It was a rebuilding year between East Lansing and MSU. Residents and students joined forces to create a more positive image within the com­ munity. In October, following the most destruc­ tive Cedar Fest block party in history, Mayor John Czarnecki called upon student and com­ munity leaders to devise a plan and end the madness. After months of deliberation the task force released recommendations which in­ cluded forming a police line around the Cedar Fest area and placing a ban on the sale of al­ cohol the night of the party. Fraternities opened their doors in an at­ tempt to shatter negative stereotypes. On Oct. 18, over 50 people attended a communi­ ty picnic at the Bailey Community Center. “The reason for the picnic was because many fraternity houses are intertwined in the community,” said Pi Kappa Phi member Tom Dobry. “It’s important for the commu­ nity to see how Greek organizations really op­ erate. We wanted to dispell the ‘Animal House’ image.” Throughout Michigan, and the capitol area, residents celebrated the state’s sesqui- centennial. Over 3,000 events were planned throughout the year to commemorate Michi­ gan’s 150 birthday in grand style.

One student, howev­ er, was recognized frequently — not as herself but as televisions’s Vanna White. a year, as well as doing several commercials in Michigan. A lo­ cal advertisement for Royal Lin­ coln Mercury featured Imber as Vanna White, spinning a wheel similar to that in the popular game show. Jackie Imber, a communica­ tion senior, has received national recognition for resembling White. She won $500 from Na­ tional Enquirer for placing first in their Vanna White look-alike contest in their March 17 issue. “The money came in handy,” said Imber. “I spent part of it on spring break and the rest when I went to New York to model for a car show.” Winning the contest was not anything Jackie Imber imagined when she sent in her information to the magazine. She received an application from a friend after the deadline and sent it in ten days late. Two week after she sent the application, Imber was interviewed and sent to Detroit for more photos to be taken, Im­ ber, like White, has blonde hair and blue eyes. They are also about the same size. After send­ ing in the next set of photos, Im­ ber was notified that she had won. “Winning the Contest was fun,” she said. Imber, a Campbell hall resi­ dent, has been modeling in na­ tional auto shows for three years. She works at three to six shows “I think my experience in modeling and the auto shows will go hand in hand with a career in broadcasting and promotion,” she said. Imber added that her contacts with media people helped her in an internship with a radio sta­ tion in Detroit. Since winning the contest she has been in contact with Vanna White’s public relations man. “I sent him some pictures and a letter and I plan to go out to Los Angeles in May,” she said. Being a Vanna White look- alike has also brought her some attention on campus. She said she has received some unusual appearence requests from stu­ dents organizations and has been recognized in many of her classes. “It was kinda funny winning the contest,” said Imber. “Who knows, maybe I do look like her.” by Kim Alexander LOOK OUT Vanna.

The 270 page book is printed on 80# premium Golden Cask paper, with the exception of the Newsmagazine, pages 49~64, which is printed on a natural colored parchment stock. Body copy is set in 10 pt. Times Roman, while Theme copy uses 12 pt. Times Roman. Captions through the entire book are set in 8 pt. Cheltenham. Headlines in the Student Life section, pages 8~65 are set in Italia Medium. The Academics sections, pages 66-93, utilizes Avant Garde Medium Condensed for main headlines, Garamond Light Condensed, Computer Readout and Times Roman for the “Academic Journal Diary” sidebars. For the People section, pages 94-151 Serif Gothic bold and italic is used for main headlines. For Sports, pages 152-207, Goudy Extra Bold is the headline type­ face. The Groups section, pages 208-237 utilizes Novarese Book typeface, while the headlines in the Community/Ads section, pages 238_267 are set in both Book­ man Bold and Bookman Italic. Student Life, Academics, Sports and Groups headlines were selected from Chartpak’s line of dry transfer lettering. Black and white photography was shot, developed, and printed by RCL pho­ tographers using Kodak 400 and 100 film. Senior photos were a product of Root Photographers, Chicago, Ill., who supplied the staff with black and white mugs. Irish Green 404 was used as a spot color in both the opening, pages 1-7 and dividers (8~9, 66-67, 94-95, 152-153, 208-209, 238-239). The green spot color was also used through the entire Academic section. The book is bound in a dark green leatherette cover, with a silver hot-foil stamp. Both endsheets contain a bright green hot foil stamp, along with black ink on a white paper stock. Volume 99 of the Red Cedar Log, “Into the flow”, earned an “All-American” rating from the Associated Collegiate Press. It was the RCL’s first All-American in recent history. For Volume 100 to occur, it took 100% effort and cooperation on the part of the RCL staff, the Associated Students of MSU student government, and Wals­ worth Publishing Company. The book had a press run of 1600 and sold for $25 postage-paid. The staff worked out of rooms 311a and 308 Student Services Build­ ing, East Lansing, Michigan 48824. It was a year to celebrate. While statewide celebrations were held to commemorate Mi­ chigan’s sesquicentennial birth­ day, the Red Cedar Log staff was proud to be producing the centennial edition of the year­ book. This was the staffs first full year under “normal” working conditions. In 1985, the yearbook pro­ gram was cancelled by ASMSU following years of mismanage­ ment and financial chaos. After a reorganization of the program, the 1986 book finally became a reality. This year, under contract with a new publishing company, the yearbook obtained use of an Ap­ ple computer and the staff size doubled. An advisory committee made up of yearbook alumni was cre­ ated to ensure stability for the publication. Long-term con­ tracts were signed with Wals- worth Publishing Co. and Var­ den Photographic Studios to es­ tablish continuity of the product in the future. In addition to a 100th birth­ day party, the staff celebrated being included in John Cutsing­ er’s yearbook guidebook “Yearbooks from A to Z,” and earning an “All-American” award from the Associated Col­ legiate Press. This was the Red Cedar Log’s comeback year. Virtually un­ known to many MSU students, the staff fought to gain attention and increase awareness among the community. For 100 years the yearbook has preserved the history of Michigan State. We hope it will continue for over 100 more. Jan 100 Club Patrons Pres.

Prime Factors Numbers made the difference as the 1986- 87 academic year drew to a close. As of February, a record 19,000 applica­ tions from prospective freshmen had flooded the admissions office - an increase of 2,000 over the previous year. In response, the University was forced to close application considerations at its earliest date in history. By spring it seemed as if almost every as­ pect of a college education would cost students more money. In April, the Board of Trustees approved a 3.8 percent increase in housing fees for stu­ dents living in residence halls and University- owned apartments. The increase meant students would have to pay $878 a term, or $2,634 for the 1987-88 academic year. Tuition again became a focus of concern for administrators and state legislators. By mid-April President DiBiaggio warned of a possible double-digit tuition increase for MSU. However, as the year drew to a close Pro­ vost David Scott said a tuition hike was defi­ nite, but a double-digit increase would be avoided if more state funds were allocated to MSU.

Prime Factors While state dollars were tight, the Univer­ sity was pledged its largest corporate gift in his­ tory. A $2 million Chrysler Corp, gift was do­ nated to fund improvements for the business and engineering schools. Millions of dollars were already being spent for construction of the Breslin Student Events Arena and additions to the Packaging School. Renovations to the Kellogg Center and Spartan Stadium were completed. AIDS education was a hot topic of con­ cern. Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity took heat from University officials after distributing condoms and literature following an AIDS lecture on campus. After months of debate a coalition of stu­ dents and community leaders formulated a plan which halted the spring Cedar Fest block party. On May 16 local law enforcement officials sealed off the Cedar Village Apartment com­ plex by forming a police line. Residents were required to present passes before entering the area. ACLU lawyers and several students pro­ tested the move, calling it a violation of civil rights.

SATURDAY, JUNE 13 marked the end of an undergraduate college career for graduates of the College of Natural Sci­ ence. Green Gowns, tassles, parents and cameras signaled the start of something new. Final pictures on the steps of the Au­ ditorium and goodbyes between friends reaffirmed the bonds established between graduates and MSU. Jean Zaren However, less than one month later scandal surfaced in the headlines of The State News. In a copyrighted story the campus daily reported that on-duty state police troopers were photographed with two female students - one under legal drinking age - holding what the students said was beer. Another scandal lingered on as DiBiaggio asked his executive assistant Da­ vid Kimball to resign. Kimball was charged in March 1986 with gross indecency between males after police videotaped activities in a Holt rest stop men’s room. At yearbook deadline, Kimball was awaiting a preliminary hearing con­ cerning the charges. While a double-digit tuition hike was forecast, administrators proposed a “cost effective” block tuition. However, students and faculty clashed over the financial implications of the plan. Many students argued that block tuition would result in increased fees. “A block structure makes students who take less than 15 credits subsidize the cost for students who take more,” said Randy Hannan, ASMSU chairper­ son.
