FRIENDS
However rare true love is, true friendship is even rarer.

FRIENDSHIPS A VIEW OF A FEW!
They come in all shapes and sizes, each one a little different from the next and even though they are all different they are all equally important to us. Friendships make the college existence more than just routine. Friends really make the col- lege life each of us have come to call our ovi/n. Remember that first day? Remem- ber how we met people who made the difference, if not the first hike to the cafe- treria a lot less scary. A friend is the per-
son who will always order a pizza with you, walk to the bank, go to a party, hear about the rise and fall of Mr. or Ms. Won- derful and generally hang out with you. They are the people who really don't care if you failed accounting twice, or if you changed your major eleven times. They may only be around till graduation but they make the big difference while we are here.

"WHAT IS UP, LITTLE ONE?"
DOUG "BURR" SMITH
It seemed like the longest day, classes dragged and pages to be read seemed to fade into a time warp. The snow kept fall- ing or rain kept on dripping. Nowhere to go, nowhere to turn, just need to relax. All those endless hours logged in class give way to those more imfJortant hours. What time it is? PARTY TIME! Kick back and enjoy a special time with someone who never cares if you aced an ADM case or if Pro. App. is going well. They just want to have some fun. Friends to have fun with, where would we be without them? No psychoanalzing just where are we going and how soon?
It's this hedonistic attitude that sparked a friendship between Jenni Wilson and Doug "Burr" Smith. Two uniquely differ- ent individuals whose attitude toward a good time compliment each other. You can spot them at the Roost on a thursday night enjoying some three for one fun. And if you need them after 4:00 on a fri- day, check happy hour at the Roost, they will be there munching on popcorn or drinking Rocket Fuel and maybe a brain or two.
When "Freakazoid" plays they'll be on the dance floor spinning and moving, but their real weak spot is "Shout"; Burr is sure to do the worm and Jenni is sure to laugh hysterically, forgetting problems and letting go. They fully endorse and par- ticipate in Toga parties. Red parties and any other kind of party you can imagine.
It's not their lifestyle constantly but once in a while it's nice to know you have someone special to kick back with and have some fun. And isn't having fun what it's all about? Mary-Alice Ozechoski

THE NEW CHI'S IN TOWN!
Friendships come and go during tine four year experience leaving behind menn- ories and emotions that are felt only com- pletely by those involved in the relationship. The way you feel about a friend is something only you can feel, it's personal. Because friendships produce in- tangibles it is a unique experience for those involved when something tangible evolves from a friendship.
Through the efforts of a unique group of friends the Delta Chi fraternity has emerged a strong brotherhood. The fall of 1983 saw what was once an idea between Jay Slodbozian, Pat Griffin, and Chris Waltenbaugh became their reality. The Delta Chi's were on their way. Meetings were held, interested students began to emerge and ideas of what they wanted from a fraternity started to click together. IFC was petitioned and the campus char- ter was granted, but even before they got a charter campus awareness was begin-
ning to form. It was as if one day there were Delta Chi jackets everywhere and people began to take notice. An even more important undertaking was their full participation in Greek Week. In the words of Chris Waltenbaugh "That's the first time we felt like a real fraternity." The real identifier was their efforts in Greek Sing, combining the talents of many of their brothers which had complete endorse-
ment of the audience. "Louie, Louie" nev- er sounded so good.
The future for the Delta Chi's looks good. In October they were initiated at Penn State, also initiated was their advi- sor Mr. Bill Lloyd. During their first rush party of the fall semester they handed out over 400 cups. As a result another pledge class was taken on, a sure sign of the continuance of the Delta Chi Fraternity.
All of this is especially extraordinary whe it is considered that it all happened in les than a year. It took one year for thre friends to build a Frat ... it took less tha a year for the rest of the campus to tak notice of them. It's going to take mor than a lifetime to break the bond of frienc ship between those first brothers.

"BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS WE ARE FRIENDS"
Bill Lloyd
An open door policy creates a climate bf trust and credibility. The policy initiates nformal gatherings as well as nnore formal meetings. It is this policy which has fos- ered many a friendship between student land faculty. It has been my personal ex- loerience that those profs, who are perpe- trators of an Open Door, or at least Open poor type of behavior, see more of their Students and become more than just in- structor or advisor, rather they become [hose who teach, as well as learn, both nside and outside the classroom.
One such prof who takes the Open
Door policy literally, is Bill Lloyd. It is not
unusual for his door to be open and his
pffice filled with students, both Comm.
"najors and otherwise. There are those
who come to cry on his shoulder and
hose who come in to listen to his corny if
lot old stories. Mr. Lloyd is honest about
9 lis feelings, outside the classroom his stu-
s jents are his friends. As with any circle of
i fiends some are closer than others. One
3>uch friendship is his and Janet Sobak's.
t Theirs is one that had its roots in the stan-
r lard advisor-advisee relationship. Janet,
-Ivho was seeking a change in her major
went in search of answers and found Bill
-loyd. He offered some of the answers to
* he switch in majors and his support in the
jrocess.
They do not view, in retrospect, their 'riendship as one which was carefree. In- stead they both see it as a time when each leeded some one to talk to, share with
and learn from. As with any friendship there are ups and downs, fights and close- ness. The fact that they are student and professor does not ensure smooth sailing. It does ensure a friendship that works at togetherness and finding time to talk about the meaning of life or the meaning of Research. As I interviewed them I watched for
^^m^
what I considered signals of a good friend- ship, I learned that a really solid relation- ship is based on respect for each other, not one hundred percent agreement. It is that mutual respect that will maintain their friendship.
tvlary-Alice Ozechoski
A companion loves some agreeable qualities which
L man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself.
James Boswell
Friends can be discovered in unusual places such as parties or classes and in unusual places such as snowball battles or restaurants. For some Clarion students, friendships are formed when they join a fraternity or sorority.
Relationships in these organizations can be very strong, especially for pledges who spend many weeks eating, studying, and hiding with each other. There's a cer- tain bond that fraternity brothers form when they exchange a secret handshake or recall Hell Week. For sorority sisters, there's a warmth of sharing special songs and living in a house or dorm. No matter what size you are, you can find a dress to wear to the formal or shoes to wear to class. You have your own family while in reality you may be hundreds of miles from home.
You can spend hours on special pro- jects or practicing for Greek Week Olym- pics. Those important times make you for- get the long hours and hard work, and make you proud to say that you are a Greek. For the Phi Sigs, this feeling of giv- ing their all to a worthy cause happened after they raised the most money during a drive held by WGGB-FM for Children's Hospital. Gongratulations to the Phi Sigs and to all people who helped to make this year's drive a huge success.

SPORTS
The Golden Eagles ended the season impressively by tying for first place in the Western Division of the PSAC Confer- ence. The Eagles were led by some out- standing players. Robert Green set a school record for receiving yardage. Also Kevin Ewing and John Haslett made tre- mendous contributions. The team was also honored by being voted third in the country by Sports Illustrated magazine.
KEVIN HANLON
He stood on the sidelines, watching the scoreboard clock tick down the seconds, waiting anxiously for the coach to send him into the game to bring the Clarion Golden Eagles out of a 7-7 tie with the rival team. Frustrated and eager to prove his potential, Kevin Hanlon must certainly have felt this way many times while play- ing the position of second string quarter- back for the football team.
Kevin, son of James and AnnaMarie Hanlon, has accomplished quite a lot in football over the past seven years. He at- tended Carrick High School in his home- town of Pittsburgh, where he received many honors. He received All-City in his junior and senior years: he was chosen City League Player of the Year in his se- nior year, and was also chosen as a mem- ber of the Finest 44, an honor created by the newspapers listing the best players in Western Pennsylvania.
Kevin IS a Secondary Education/ Math- ematics major here at Clarion. Athletical- ly, he says Clarion has given him the opportunity to continue playing football for 4 more years. Academically, however, he chuckled and said that Clarion has only given him a "headache."
Kevin should have much to admire about himself. His tall frame, reddish- brown hair and blue eyes correspond with his good-natured attitude, his broad sense of humor and his always smiling face. He credits himself for being persis- tent, willing to hang in there, and his con- tinued efforts to give football his best shot. He did admit that he does some- times get short-tempered and that people may be able to get over him once, but "don't try it twice."
Kevin feels deeply that he hasn't been given the chance to be worked with to reach his full potential as quarterback on the football team. Next season he hopes to change his position to tight end on the team, a position he has never played before.
After college, Kevin hopes to be wealthy. He'd like to coach football and teach math. His main goal is to give back to his parents everything that they have given him. With his attitude and personal- ity, I'm sure that he will accomplish his intended goals. Good luck, Kevin, we'll be watching for you on the field next season. -Leanne Fisher

Coach Dick Taylor says he started the season with a goal: he had to replace 60% of scoririg and 50% of his rebound- ing. Therefore his players were forced to grow. The season got off to a shaky start, but after mid-season break, "We hit our stride."
Senior Darryl "Moon" Whiten closed out a successful season with 436 points for an average of 9.7 in 27 games and 134 assists finishing fourth on Clarion's all time list. Also Terry Smith led in rebounding and had a 12.6 scoring average. Mark En- gram had a 12.5 scoring average and fin- ished second in rebounding. All the Golden Eagles made great contributions. Eric Pinno averaged 1 1 points and fresh- man Ciaran Lesiker had 8.6 points a game. The bench, Roosevelt, Barrouk, Hicks, and Mollis helped the team reach their goals. The Golden Eagles were the winners of the Western Division Champi- onship for the third straight year. Golden Eagles, we think you're great!

DARRYL "MOON" WHITEN
A flash of energy blasts down the court as Darryl Lamont Whiten, otherwise known as "Moon," sinks yet another bas- ket for the Clarion Golden Eagle Basket- ball team. Darryl has come a long way since he first hit the basketball court twelve years ago. This 5'8" basketball sensation, who has lettered for three con- secutive years, is the captain and and the driving force of the Golden Eagles. Darryl is well-qualified for this position since he was co-captain of the Frederick High School team in Maryland during his junior and senior years. He was also first team All-City, and third team All-Area. Al- though he is obviously talented, he be- lieves in teamwork and was voted the most unselfish player on his high school team.
Darryl, encouraged by his parents, Ms. Diane Whiten and Mr. Preston Patterson, continues to be successful throughout his college career. He was second team All- Conference and ninth on career assists as
of November 1984. Given his outstanding performance ability, Darryl could improve his record to third in career assists.
Darryl feels that because Clarion is the toughest Division II team in the Pennsylva- nia conference, it will give him national exposure as well as exposure to top quali- ty competition. Darryl also feels that Clari- on is good for him academically. As a Communication major, Darryl states, "No where else could I get the experience and knowledge of the Communications field that Clarion offers."
Darryl started playing basketball be- cause It was "a game of excitement and entertainment." And excite is exactly what Darryl does. On the court, he is dy- namic, explosive and aggressive. He is in constant motion — jumping, twisting, gy- rating— all in an attempt to keep the team alive and up for the game.
Off the court, he is also outgoing, and gets along well with others. The only situa- tion where Darryl is shy is when he is
around females. According to Darryl, "They can always find a soft spot on me." He IS the type of person who can always find time to help other people and is will- ing to give them his all. Because he goes out on a limb for others, he dislikes people who are selfish and who take advantage of others.
After a successful senior season, Darryl plans to pursue a career at a well-respect- ed television station. He would also like to play professional basketball for three more years with either the NBA, CBA (Continental Basketball Association), or the EBA (European Basketball Associa- tion). Whatever Darryl ends up doing, he wants to give the money he earns to his mom, "for all she has given to me."
We will miss hearing the shouts of "MOON, MOON, MOON" as Daryl sinks another basket. But perhaps we will miss even more the enthusiam, dedication, and loyalty Daryl has given to our basketball team.
TERRY SMITH
Basketball is a fast-moving game of competitive skill, athletic agility and pure aggressiveness. Among the many players darting energetically about the court, one stands out as somehow different from the rest. This muscular six foot six tower of talent loves the competitiveness of the game. Yet he commands the game not through aggressiveness, but through a mild-mannered style that earns him the respect of the players, as well as the fans. It seems odd that Terrence Antonius Smith, the polite, almost shy forward for our basketball team, would start out his sports career, not in basketball, but in the extremely hard-hitting sport of football. His mother, Ms. Leila Smith, however, was worried about the danger of injuries. See- ing that Terry was still growing rapidly, Ms. Smith turned him away from the foot- ball field and gave him a motherly nudge towards basketball. Terry apparenlty
liked the idea because he has been with the sport ever since.
What intriques Terry most about the game is its competiveness and the emo- tional highs he experiences everytime he plays. Terry must have had many emo- tional highs during his high school career because he made Second Team All- Sec- tion, was sixth in the AAA and co-captain his senior year.
His success, however, didn't stop in high school. Terry lettered his first two years at Clarion and is an emotional, as well as physical asset to the team. Ter- ry's main goal in basketball this year is to strive to win a Division II championship title. Terry believes that with the encoura- gement of his mom and supportive cous- in, Josephine Evans, he can accomplish this goal.
Although Terry loves competition and wants to succeed in his sport, he would
never let his personal goals get in the way of his dedication to the team. Terry is easy-going, friendly and believes in "giv- ing respect where it is due." For a tall, solid man, he has an unproportionally soft heart and a sincere, warm, ever-present smile.
Terry came to Clarion due to its "highly recommended" business program and is pursuing a career in marketing. When he graduates he would like to play pro-ball for awhile and then find a career in a firm that has the potential to produce and grow.
Terry dedicates his success in both basketball and academiics to his mother. He feels a special gratitude towards his mother and Clarion University should be thankful that she nudged Terry to his nat- ural talent, basketball. — Shari Rose
E FYE
One o' the top members of the Wom- en's Tennis Team is Lynne Fye. This was a winning season for her with nine wins and four losses, which tool< her to the quarter finals in state competition. The truly amazing thing about Lynne, besides her tennis skills, is that she's only been play- ing tennis for three years.
Lynne, the daughter of Laura Towns and Leroy Fye of Sykesville, had always
participated in team sports at Central Christian High School, but just three short years ago she decided to try a competi- tive individual sport, and what successful results she has had.
Lynne decided against trying out for the tennis team during her freshman year, afraid that it would interfere with her stud- ies, but she did try out her sophomore year. Since she's been a team member, she's noticed that her grades have im- proved. Also, this year Lynne tied for a scholarship- the Golden Eaglette of the
Year.
Currently, Lynne is majoring is Second- ary Education/Mathematics. In the future she'd like to get involved with coaching a high school tennis team.
Lynne really enjoys being a member of the Tennis Team, and she says that "the athletic program at Clarion is great and the coach is doing everything to make the tennis program better." Katie Palmer

WOMEN'S SWIMMING
A Division II NCAA third place team fin- ish capped off a surprisingly successful year for the Clarion University Women's Swimming and Diving team. A team domi- nated by talented freshmen, they also v^^on their 10th straight PSAC Champion- ship, keeping their streak alive. Their re- cord at season end was 8-2 with their only two losses coming from Division I schools. Coach Becky Leas summed up their showing at nationals, and her optimism for the future by saying, "Our maturation at nationals this year is a positive sign, one which we're anxious to take into next year."

ALISA WOICICKI
A flash of blonde streaks through the water as the Wilkes Barre native conn- pletes her grueling practice for the day. She will be back tomorrow and again the day after, if that's what it takes for her to reach her peak performance.
That's how it has been for Alisa Woi- cicki, even since she started swimming fourteen years ago. Following in her brother Robert's footsteps, Alisa joined age group swimming and has been mak- ing her way to the finish line ever since.
During her swimming career at Bishop Hoban high school, Alisa was named Out-
standing Swimmer two years in a row, Dis- trict Champion four years in a row, and Ail-American four years in a row. Encour- aged by her mother, Katherine, and spurred on by competition and the chal- lenge to achieve. Alisa arrived at Clarion with high hopes. She wasn't disappoint- ed. In her freshman year alone she be- came a three-time All- American From there she went on to become a six-time All-American, National Champion in the 400 freestyle relay and 200 freestyle re- lay. It's no wonder she was chosen to be co-captain her junior year.
Although Alisa devotes much of her time to swimming, she appreciates the well-rounded education she has received in Business Finance and rises to meet the academic challenge as well. With this edu- cation, and the knowledge and respect she has learned and earned from swim- ming, Alisa plans to go into graduate school. Wherever her career leads her, Alisa Woicicki won't go too far from the water's edge, and will probably pursue an assistant coaching position.

MEN'S SWIMMING
In a chorus of fives, the Clarion Universi- ty Men's Swimming and Diving Team earned a 5th place in team scoring at the Division II National Championships. This marks the fifth straight year that the Gold- en Eagles, under coach Bill Miller, have ended the season in the prestigeous top five in the nation.
Overall the team put together an im- pressive season by winning their 15th straight PSAC Championship, and com- pleting the season with a 7-2 dual meet record.

BILL EATON
Hard work, determination and dedica- tion are rarely found as aspects of one person. Bill Eaton, however, possesses these qualities and puts them to use as a member of the Clarion University Swim Team.
At the age of 10, Bill "got his feet wet", so to speak, when he started swimming competitively. When asked why he chose swimming, Bill answered, "I vi^as too small to play football and too short for basket- ball." Still determined to get involved, he found his sport. He was physically built to swim and found the individual challenge to be perfect for him.
Apparently Bill made the right choice because while swimming at North Alle- gheny High School, he was a four-year
letterman, as well as a state qualifier. Even the competitiveness of collegiate swim- ming didn't stop Bill from pursuing his goal. At Clarion, Bill swam the 200-yard, 500-yard and 1650-yard freestyle and let- tered in each one of his four years. Bill realizes that the competition keeps get- ting harder and harder, but he likes to accept a challenge and drive for it.
It is not necessary to say that Bill is dedicated. His record speaks for itself. According to Coach Bill Miller, he is a "hard worker, who never missed a prac- tice." This dedication paid off in 1982 when Bill qualified as a member of the State Conference Team.
Bill describes himself as easy-going, friendly, and able to get along with others.
He enjoys being able to compete individ- ually, while at the same time being a member of the team. At Clarion, Bill has experienced "a sense of competition not found in high school." Bill feels very close to the team and admits, "If it wasn't for my teammates, I probably wouldn't have stayed in the sport."
Bill isn't only a dedicated swimmer and successful student, he is also a member of Clarion's Student Senate for two consec- utive years. Bill thinks that perhaps he is such a hard worker because his coach is so dedicated, and he therefore wanted to thank Coach Miller for helping him with a lot more than just his swimming.

After spiking, setting, digging, and ace- ing tlieir way to a 25-13 overall season record the Ciarion University Women's Volleyball team earned a top six rani<ing in the Division II Eastern Division. Led by head coach Sharon Daniels-Oleksak, the team fought their w/ay into a tough third place at PSAC's. Several players earned commendations for fine play and Ellen Bausey did well enough to merit honor- able mention to the Academic Ail-Ameri- can team.

Ellen Borowy of Elyria, Ohio, has been playing volleyball for twelve years and has been a valuable asset to Clarion's Wom- en's Volleyball Team.
Ellen, who is a senior, enjoys the sport because it is an ever-changing game. She has received many athletic awards due to her participation in volleyball. In high school, she received the Dedicatio Award, was Most Valuable Player for two years, and was the Female Athlete of the year. During her college career, she Is a two- time Academic All-American and has twice been the Clarion Call's Athlete of the Year, Ellen says that being on an ath- letic team has taught her to work with and depend on a group of people.
She believes that "academics is more than books and papers: there's more to learning — you have to be able to interact
with people." Ellen is a math major and hopes to find a job either in industry or government. She would also like to get involved in the community and maybe through that channel be involved In volleyball.
A very positive person, Ellen is optimis- tic, outgoing, determined, and admires people who, even though they have a hard job ahead of them, are determined to overcome anything to accomplish their goals.
Summing up her feelings about college and athletics, Ellen says, "Being an ath- lete and a student requires more of an individual, but in the long run, the benefits you get of being on a team make it all worth it."
Katie Palmer
"We had an average season," says head coach Bob Bubb. The team sent three members to the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL). Jim Beichner finished first and had a 40-4 record and was sixth in the NCAA Nationai Tournament. Ken Ha- selrig came in second in the EWL and piaced sixth in the Division I NCAA Tour- nament. Paul Clark finished 32-6 and he qualified for the NCAA Division I Tour- nament.
The Coach says, "The team as a whole had sparks of brilliance that they hope to recapture next season. The grapplers are a young team; everyone will be returning next season. We are strong and look for- ward to competing once again."
In wrestling success is usually deter- mined by how many times the athlete pins his opponents. Throughout the years Clarion Wrestlers have been talented enough to keep up a winning tradition. This kind of success has made Clarion University a name synonymous with wres- tling. But, a pin is not necessarily the only way to win for a wrestler.
Junior Adam Cochran may not have set any record wrestling statistics (yet) in his college career, but he is a winner in every sense of the word. He is the 21 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Cochran of Mil- ton, Pa. He IS a graduate of Milton high school, where his dad coached wrestling up until Adam started school there. By his senior year Adam had received the hon- ors of being the third top wrestler in the state, and he was able to place seventh in Junior Nationals for the United States Wrestling Federation.
Third grade was the year that Adam began wrestling in AAU tournaments and training at wrestling camps. His initial choice of sports may be attributed to his father, but the rest is all Adam's motiva- tion.
Despite red-shirting his freshman year at Clarion, and numerous minor injuries throughout the year, Adam has stayed
with his sport. He is currently wrestling at the 167 lb. weight class and although he is a junior, Adam still has two more years left of eligibility.
Why wrestling? Says Adam, "The sport is challenging and it helps me accomplish goals that I set for myself. Besides, it also keeps me busy." To say that wrestling will keep one busy is an understatement. Wrestlers must constantly maintain weight classifications, run for stamina, discipline and practice moves before and throughout the season. Adam says he ad- mires Charlie Haller (also a Milton alum- nus) and present graduate coach for his consistently excellent records at Clarion.
In the future, Adam hopes to stay active in wrestling, not on the mats, but in coaching. In past summers, Adam has taught at numerous wrestling clinics, in- cluding here at Clarion, and he hopes to continue doing so.
Even though Adam Cochran may not have been the name you heard most often at Clarion Wrestling miatches, his persis- tence and dedication to his sport exempli- fy what it means to be a winning wrestler at Clarion University.

OMEN'S BASKETBALL
"This season has been a learning expe- rience," commented the head basketball coach Doris Black. "Although it was a dis- appointing season our players learned many lessons. They now realize that all internal conflicts must be resolved so that they do not affect our game."
There were a lot of individual improve- ments on the Lady Eagles. Angle Wil- liams, freshman, led the team in scoring. Cathy Evans, freshman, led in assists and Shari Holdenbaum, sophomore, was the most improved player from last years team. "The players are gaining some valu- able recruits that are brimming with prom- ise, and all are excitedly awaiting next season," added Coach Black.

Rhonda Smith, a management major here at Clarion, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Eugene Smith of Clarion. Rhonda will be saying her goodbyes to the Women's Basketball Team as she is finishing up her last year athletically and academically.
Rhonda, the captain and the only senior on the team, is looked up to for guidance, leadership and moral support from the other women, who need to gain the expe- rience Rhonda has. She has been active in the sport for 9 years. During that time she has won numerous awards including MVP for 2 years and Female Athlete of the Year for 3 consecutive years, while attending Clarion High School.
Learning the sport from her brothers, Rhonda's interest gtew into a hunger for competition and self-satisfaction. Her po- sition as guard allows her to show off her hustle and intensity on the court. Last year she led the team in steals and assists, proving that she is enthusiastic and competitive.
Upon graduation, Rhonda intends to coach track for Clarion High School. She IS ambitious enough to find success in a good managerial job sometime in the near future, but wishes to take one day at a time.

"This has been a fantastic season," says coach Jay Snnith. It has only been 5V2 months since his arrival and under his direction, the team has reached the high score of 170 four times.
This season has shown two ladies who possess all the qualities of determination, strength and courage — Erin Nunenkamp and Mary Goold. Erin has a team average of 35.08. Mary finished the season by win- ning the stalls on bars with a 9.0 and tied for third in the all-around competition.
The team broke the five score school record three times this year. This really helped to build team spirit. The team also reached its highest score ever — 171.95 in the Clarion vs. lUP competition. This win- ning team consists of: Jill Blaga, Chrissy Sholes, Peggy Kerwin, Michelle O'Con- nor, Rhonda Ledbetter, Mary Goold, Rob- in Tortoriello and Amy Hirabak.

Mary Gooid, 21, describes herself as being a "very aggressive, outspoken per- son" who finds time to care deeply for others. "I go after what I v^ant," she says, "but do so without hurting other people. I love to work with people, especially children,"
The tall, dark-haired gymnast is the daughter of Mike and Mary Goold. She attended West Seneca High School in Buffalo, New York, where she began her career in gynmastics 9 years ago. Her list of accomplishments is commendable: New York State Vaulting Champion, 3rd place on bars and beam, and top-ten all- around at NAIA Nationals in Colorado. She finds gymnastics interesting because there are four different events in which to perform. "Gymnastics, I feel, is a sport in which you can show off your positive points and in some situations hide your weaknesses."
She feels that on an athletic level. Clari- on has given her the experience of work- ing under a great coaching staff, in addition to bettering her skills as a gym- nast. Academically speaking, she feels that Clarion has given her an opportunity to be better prepared in her major, Com- munication, than she would be at any oth- er university.
Mary says that she admires her older sister, Debbie, because she "has always followed her own instincts and dreams and built a life for herself that she enjoys." After graduation, Mary would like to work for an advertising agency or write copy for an athletic magazine. Eventually, she would like to open a gymnastics club in Virginia and make a career of coaching. Laurie Hopkins

KATHLEEN BUMBARGER ROESSING
SCOTT BERRY
To all of us al Clarion she's known as "Bummie." but to her parents, Wayne and Norma Bumbarger, she's Johnna. Its no wonder we Clarion students call Johnna, Bummie. Who at Clation could even at- tempt to pronounce Johnna Bumbarger without mis- pronouncing at least one part?
Bummie was born In Clearfield Pa. twenty-one years ago She attended Clearfield high school where she began her Softball career. She was a var- sity letter winner all four years of high school and also received the title "Golden Glove" her sopho- more year. Her junior year was by far her most re- warding and exciting year. Not only did Bummie and her team compete in the District Championships, but they won it and then went on to compete in the state tournament.
Bummie is now a senior attending Clarion Univer- sity. She has competed all four years on Clarion's women's Softball team. Besides lettering all four years, she was also a part of Clarion's 81-82 team that competed in the State tournament.
Bummie feels that Clarion's Softball program has given her an opportunity to better herself athletically because of the psychological uplift she has received here. Unlike her high school years, Bummie now en- joys the excitment of competing and finds tourna- ments to be challenging and not the least bit frightening.
Clarion has not only benefited Bummie athletical- ly, but also academically. She is a business/ com- puter major and feels that because of the strong background she has received at Clarion in business and computer skills she will have little trouble getting ■ a job.
Along with playing Softball and studying business and computers, Bummie has made time to join Clari- on's ROTC program. She has found ROTC to be most beneficial to her and has decided that after graduation she will join the service for four years and then travel overseas to see what awaits her there.
Bummie feels that her small size, 5 feet, 115 lbs., is an asset to her because it only makes her try that much harder to achieve those things in life that seem so far from her reach.
Her short blond hair and big blue eyes are only a small part of this friendly, easy-going person. The rest of her can only be seen by those of us who already know and appreciate her.
Mary Goold
In some instances, athletes spend thousands of hours practicing to be the best in their sport, only to achieve an average standing among their peers. The judgment is that the person was never "made for the sport". In the few rare cases, an individual begins involvement in a particular athletic event, excelling at a rapid pace. Clarion University has such an athlete- Kathleen Roessing of the Rifle Team.
Kamie, as she is known to family and friends, wasn't involved with the rifle team while attending Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School in nearby Parker, Pennsylvania. Her interest was piqued when two rifle team members, Scott Tanner and Pete Ver- onesi, encouraged her to give it a try. In 1983 as a sophomore. Kamie gave it a shot, so to speak, and found that she enjoyed shooting a rifle.
As one of two females on the sixteen person squad, Kamie has her work cut out for her. Men and women compete in the same three-target catego- ries: prone, kneeling and standing. With only a year's experience behind her, she must compete against members with much more experience behind them. Speaking with Kamie, a person can almost feel the concentration that she possesses. She doesn't mince words, which correlates to her major, which is Mathematics and Computers. She is part of the Rifle Team becauses it enables an individual to develop her own skills, while contributing to the overall talent of the team Tall and lean like a well-manufactured rifle. Kamie appears to be the spitting image of the rifle team member. The support of her parents, Tom and Ann, is important to her. She admires her father because of his "perfection and patience." Perfec- tion and patience seem to also be two attibutes of Kamie. She is determined to do well and giver her all, yet she can remain calm and relaxed during this pursuit of excellence.
Kamie is a person to be respected for taking on the challenge of the Rifle Team although she had no prior experience. She isn't haughty about being one of two women on the team. Rather she is polite and friendly, as a true athlete should be. Perhaps we can all learn a valuable lesson from Kamie — trying some- thing new and challenging can result in a rewarding experience.

You hit the target at 1:00. It's a good thing that you didn't snowball, but hitting the bull would have been the best shot.
Confused? When I first heard these terms, I thought that my hearing needed to be checked or that someone was speaking in Doublespeak. Every- thing became clear when Scott Berry of the Rifle Team explained that 1:00 meant a position of the target, snowball is a total miss when shooting, and the bull is the center of the target.
Scott certainly knows what he's talking about. Since he was an eighth grader he has been shooting rifle competitively. Living in Lakewood, New York, with his parents, Nancy and Allan Berry, and his two brothers, Scott learned to use a rifle while hunting with his dad. His interest in the sport increased as both he and his brothers were on their high school team of Southwestern Central High.
When he arrived at Clarion, he played baseball, a sport which he played in high school. It wasn't until his sophomore year that he joined the Rifle Team at Clarion. When I asked him about his interest in the sport, he replied that it was challenging to "hit your own ceiling," then work your way slowly past that ceiling to achieve higher scores. He also enjoys that team spirit and fun atmosphere, which Dr. Leach maintains for all the members.
Scott speaks of the consistency and control that is needed to succeed on the team. He is a soft-spoken young man whose eyes show the concentration that is so important in this sport. While shooting in match- es, he uses self-hypnosis to concentrate. After all, you don't want to be nervous and shaky. You have thirty shots- no more, no less. Scott explains, "The concentration is between me, the gun and the target."
Listening to Scott, I realized that he is a level- headed guy. He has great admiration for Ghandi whose "overall view of the world was unique" and who was very effective in his dealings with the world. I don't know what the future holds for Scott. He is a senior majoring in Computer Science and gradu- ating in May 1985. His career goals are quite inter- esting as he intends to travel to Alaska, experiencing the great outdoors. Eventually, he plans to return to New York to work. He wants to live in a small region because "cities are too impersonal." Scott is very personable and easy to talk to. I think that once he discovers exactly what he wants from life, he will achieve that goal. After speaking with him. I'm sure he will.

KENNY ROMAN
How did Kenny Roman, senior sensa- tion of the Clarion University baseball team get his start in baseball? "I was 7 years old and we lived near a field, and well, it was just the thing to do." A pretty laid back attitude for someone who is so good at the sport. But that's the way Ken- ny (also known as Rome) is: very easy going.
But don't mistake his laid back person- ality off the field for his personality during the game. At his position behind the plate, Kenny is a very competitive player who "hates to lose." Perhaps that's why Ken- ny performed so well at North Catholic high school where he played for 3 years. During that time, he was on an American Legion team that won state and was 16th in the nation.
Kenny was doing terrific when his family decided to move to Shaler. Moving into a new high school his senior year would cause most people to stay apart from the crowd, Kenny, however, jumped right in and became involved with the Shaler baseball team. With Kenny on the team, Shaler placed second in WPIALS. It was no wonder that he was awarded the Mr. Hustle Award his senior year.
Under his mother Alice's guidance, Kenny decided to go to Clarion. His suc- cess started from the very beginning. In his freshman year, he made second team All Conference and in his junior year achieved First Team All Conference. Ken- ny feels that Clarion has given him "a bet- ter feel for competition" and that he has "learned more about the game of base- ball" and has applied that special knowl- edge to his everyday life.
As a marketing major, Kenny believes Clarion has "expanded my knowledge in various fields of the business world." With the knowledge Kenny has gained from baseball and his education, he is sure to be a success. Kenny plans to move west and get into the warehouse aspect of marketing. Kenny will always have his eyes open to opportunities for a baseball career and believes, "If anything is going to happen it will happen this summer."

Mike Czap, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Czap, hails from Philipsburg. PA, where he attended Osceola High School. The dark-complexioned, dark-haired, 21- year-old has been playing golf for a little over four years. Mike enjoys the travel, people and competition this sport has provided him, as well as the chances he has had to play different golf courses in the Pennsylvania area. He's had several accomplishments during his high school and college years on the golf team. In 1979 he was a sectional qualifier, in 1980 a district qualifier, both while he played for his high school team. During his college career he took ninth place in the 1982 PSAC and in 1984 he became the Tri- State Invitational champion. College ath- letics, he says, have given him the opportunity to compete on an intercolle- giate level, as well as the chance to travel throughout the state.
Mike is a Liberal Arts/Russian major who describes himself as easygoing. In fact, he's hard-pressed to think of anyone he really dislikes. He plans to use his de- gree in either government agencies or pri- vate industry. He feels that the education and experiences of day-to-day living he's gained here at Clarion are difficult to quantify or place a value on. When asked who he admires most, Mike says, "I'd have to say Rocky-even if he is a fictional character. He's kind of an underdog, who gives things his best shot. I sort of see myself like that. Hopefully, I'll be able to succeed like he did." Laurie Hopkins
LOYAL JASPER
"O.K. Question number one," I said as we began the interview.
Loyal has been a member of the Clarion University Track Team for four yeais. He has actually been here for five years, but he redshirted his freshman year. He has participated in Track since seventh grade in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. He gradu- ated from Peabody High School. His parents are Loyal and Carrie Jasper
Loyal likes track for a number of reasons. He mainly likes the competition, but he says it's also something you can do on your own. Running track has given Loyal a lot of self-discipline. Track is de- manding and requires time During track season, the team practices everyday, sharpening techniques and getting stronger. They also weight train three days a week. In the off-season they practice three days a week by running three to five miles each day. So in order to be good, one has to be willing to give up things that other people might not. Loyal has successfully accomplished this feat But Loyal says that there are also advantages to his hard work. He has been able to travel around from school to school and as a result, he has met many people. This is the part that he likes best
As he looks back over his college career, he said that Clarion University has been very beneficial to him. If he had it to do over again Loyal says he'd be right back here. He wanted a small school that could provide him with individual help — one that would treat him as a person instead of a number like many bigger schools It has definitely been a good experi- ence for him Because of Coach English, Loyal says that overall, track was also a good experience for him Coach English treated him as a person instead of just an athlete, encouraging him every step of the way. Loyal felt comfortable with him and also feels that Coach English is deserving of thanks for all that he did.
As thanks were going around I wanted to thank Loyal for the interview. As I did Loyal flashed a smile and looked away humbly Good luck in all you do Loyal, and Clarion wants to thank you. too.

CENTER BOARD- "BETTER PROGRAMMING FOR A BETTER UNIVERSITY"
Although Center Board has been going strong since 1967, few college students understand the impact of this organiza- tion on the whole university. Headed by advisor Dave Tomeo, CB is resonsible for virtually all campus-related activities, in- cluding dances, concerts, movies and coffeehouses. Working with a budget of $85,000, CB strategically plans out the activities for a full year. Members include 6 committee chairpersons, 4 students on the executive board, 6 faculty and numer- ous other university students. Fulltime stu- dents are urged to join in the decision making process. Each of the committees meets on its own time to discuss happen- ings of concern to themselves and to CB. The entire organization also meets to compare notes and to accomplish their task as organizer for student activities. Center Board doesn't rely only on their own opinions when choosing the activi-
ties. Student interest surveys are sent out approximately every two years to receive feedback from the students. Faculty and students occasionally submit requests for specific topics or guest, which are evalu- ated by the organization for relevance and interest to the entire university. This year there were more than the normal number of activities. We all had the opportunity to scare ourselves with the three "Hallow- een" flicks or to become enthusiastic with the "Rocky" movies. Yet, CB sponsors other activities as well. Some Thursdays are "Sweet Thursday" concerts, which give regional bands a chance to show their stuff.
Guest speakers are also popular. There was John Anderson and Yakov Smirnoff, two different ends of the spectrum. Cof- feehouses at Riemer give all students an opportunity to demonstrate their talents and skills to peers. Special musical events
such as the Fixx, "Nutcracker Suite", and The Bill Kirchner Nonet 9 Piece Jazz Group, were diversified enough that ev- eryone could enjoy at least one concert. That is what Center Board is all about- pleasing the whole student and faculty bodies. Maybe too many of us complain that Clarion offers nothing in the way of entertainment. That belief just isn't true. There are numerous activities occurring on this campus every week. Other people state our activity fee is outrageous and useless. Yet, for only $8 a semester, which is CB's share of the activity fee, students are offered hundreds of interesting events. If you are dissatisfied with the se- lection, then join CB. With more members representing a greater cross-section of Clarion University, Center Board can please more people. Just remember- Cen- ter Board- "Better Programming for a Better University."

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Under the direction of Bob Copeland, the CD. P. players presented Tennesse William's "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" Octo- ber 2, 3, and 4 in Marwick Boyd Auditorium.
The play not only hosted a talented cast but also marked a special performance for the "Over 100" celebration.
The play commemorated Bob Cope- land For starting the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Technical Design degree at Clarion in 1978. Copeland has directed 126 produc- tions, appearing in many of them. "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" added to his achieve- ments of both direction and acting.
The play takes place in a bed/sitting room in a plantation home on the Missis- sippi Delta in 1955. Designer Gary Cop- clan transformed the stage into a well-designed replica of the setting, en- hancing the mood of the production.
The story line begins as Big Daddy, por- trayed by Copeland, is dying of cancer and members of his family visit him to cel- ebrate his birthday. Big Mama, was Sybil Wein-one of the members of the col- lege/community players which began in 1959. Brick, Big Daddy's son, was played by George Jaber, a 1977 graduate of Clarion who is currently employed as as- sistant Professor of Performing Arts. Irma Levy is a junior theatre major, who por- trayed Margaret, Brick's wife. The con- stantly pregnant daughter-in-law, Mae, was played by Barb Griffin, a veteran of Clarion theatre, and a graduating senior. Mae's husband Cooper was Ron Hartley, a member of the Speech Communication and Theatre staff.
Not only did "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" commend Bob Copeland for the "Over 100" celebration but the play also proved to be a quality acting experience for the- atre members and an entertaining pro- duction for the audience.

SHOWBOAT
"Showboat", the spring musical, sailed in on February 20-23 with Andy Hawks (Randy Rocco) and his wife Parthy (Barb Griffen), the "par- ents of one big happy family" aboard the Cotton Blossom. Head- ing the crew was Quennie (Deb Jackson), the boats' cook, and her "lazy or scally-wag" husband Joe (mike Rodgers). The Cotton Bols- som travels up and down the Missis- sippi, entertaining in each town. The boat's leading lady Julie Laverne (Irma Levy) and the handsome lead- ing man, Stephen Bader, are re- placed early in the show when it is discovered that Julie is a f^ullato but married to a white man. The leading couple is then f\/lagnolia, the cap- tains daughter and Gaylord Ra- venal, a river gambler who falls deeply in love with her, and attempts to mend his ways. Entertaining with a little soft shoe dance and a great deal of comedy are Ellie May Chipelli (Melissa Shadley), the toast of Cai- ro— Illinois, and her soon to-be-hus- band Frank Shultz (John Klindworth), the villian in the boat's melodrama, "Tempest and Sun- shine." Throughout the musical was introduced to a ten menber dance troupe, who perfomr numbers rang- ing from a "tapping Ballyhoo," Atima and the "congress of Beau- ties." Some memorable songs are the great familiar hits by Jerome Kerns and Oscar Hammerstein: "01' Man River", "You Are Love", "Bill", and "can't Help Lovin' Dat Man."

WINTER COMMENCEMENT
One way for graduating seniors to break the winter blalis is Winter Comnnencement. TInis year Winter Commencement was lield the after- noon of December 22, 1984 in Mar- wick-Boyd Auditorium.
193 seniors received their diplo- mas and 35 Graduate students re- ceived their Masters Degree. Clarion is proud to honor them!
The word variety fits George R. Shef- fey's senior sinow "In Neon", to a tee. Sheffey shows his versatility as an actor with his ability to jump smoothly from one character to another.
In the first segment entitled "Kennedy's Children", Sheffey plays the washed-up man, who spills his guts to a bartender (Kym Selker). He talks very candidly about his life and describes truth as "a kid with diarrhea. You can't hold it, but you can't stop it either."
Sheffey then plays a character who protests war and violence, and chooses not to fight for his country. Sheffey mov- ingly describes the sight of a girl lying in a coma and the funeral of Tommy, a young boy who had to be laid out In a closed casket. Sheffey describes the shame he experienced when his father, due to his own feelings of patriatism and manhood, wouldn't let him carry Tommy's coffin and instructs him to "Stay here . . . with the women." Despite his shame and humilia- tion, Sheffey's character still stands in strong support that "If we do not change, tomorrow has no place for us."
Sheffey provides a moving perfor- mance as a patient in a mental institution. The audience grew silent as he described the horrors of his hallucinations, para- noias and shock therapy.
Sheffey also played guitar and sang three tunes, with musicians Mark We- sesky. Matt Malobicky, Joe Coccimiglio, and Charles Brastow. Sheffey ended the show with the rousing "Walk With Me Sal- ly." "In Neon" ended just like it had be- gun, . . . successfully, by Shari Rose
GEORGE SHEFFEY
RANDY ROCCO
On the night of March 20, Randy Rocco had a nightmare-a nightmare that every actor dreads having- be- ing on stage with absolutely no idea what play he is in or what role he is playing. As it turns out, he is in many plays, one of which is his own senior show entitled "The Actor's Night- mare" by Christopher Durang. The play begins with the twilight zone at- mosphere, complete with Rod Ser- ling and continues through an interesting array of plays.
Throughout each play, Rocco portrays George Spelvin, Stanley, Hamlet, Willie and Sir Thomas More, thinking all the time that he is merely George Spelvin, the actor. His fellow actors include the stage manager (Kim Selker), who is trying to give him his lines. Poor George can't keep track of what play he is in. In response to Sarah Siddon's (Gretchen Geiger) line, "How was China?", all George can think of is "Lots of rice. The women bind their feet." Rocco delivers his lines with an entertaining ease. In whatever role he plays, Rocco is hilarious and gets outstanding support from every actor, especially Ron Hartley who gives a wonderful performance.
One scene requires George to talk to a person who lives in a garbage can (Barbara Griffin). The scene was so off the wall that the audience was bent over with laughter.
The final play which ultimately brings both the show and George Spelvin to an end involves the exe- cution of Sir Thomas More. Al- though George is confused until the very end and his dying words are fed to him by the stage manager, the audience leaves clearly convinced that this was an evening well spent. Shari Rose
"Angel Street" by Patrick Hamil- ton is a Victorian thriller that tells the story of the Manninghams of Angel Street. Handsome but devious, Jack Manningham (David Knapp) is tor- turing his hauntingly beautiful wife (Irma Levy) into insanity. She is al- most convinced that she is going out of her mind w/hen a lovable, cocky police inspector (Bryan Koehler) vis- its her and convinces her, with the help of a faithful maid, Elizabeth (Su- san Boll), that her husband is a ma- niacal criminal suspected of a murder committed 15 years ago,
The game of trying to uncover evi- dence against Mr. Manningham be- gins. It is a thrilling and exciting melodramatic game that is given a slight twist thanks to the character of the pretty, young, maid, Nancy (Joan Bartell).
"Angel Street" was directed by Dr. Mary Hardwick.

ACADEMICS
Unbelievably Unique, incredibly the sanne.
Let's set the scene. You look out the kitchen window of your snnall, but adequate apartment and see, well, you see virtually nothing save for a quaint pattern of ice that has fornned during the frigid evening. Fronn the dark living room the sounds of clanking heater pipes beckon you to feel their warmth. Meanwhile, in the bedroom your roommate snores on, as your toasty, warm bed is empty. Suddenly a song enters your comatose mind, "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" Oh, what a question.
Before you berate yourself for being a looney tune, you grab your threadbare winter jacket, plaid scarf, mismatched mittens, and knapsack making a dash out the front door. Outside, even the sensible birds are still asleep in their com- fortable nests. It's the third day in a row that Clarion has had snow, no different than any other fall. Your breath hits the
cold air, dissipating rapidly. Whoa! Watch the newly formed ice patches.
Slowly, but surely, you continue through the winter wonder- land, hoping that campus has been moved a few blocks clos- er to your apartment. Sadly, you still must trek five blocks to your first class at, oh, horrors, 7:54. You have six minutes to mount the irritating South Street hill and make it to class. You can do it, you reassure yourself.
After what seems an eternity, you arrive at campus. Sweat has accumulated on your brow, as your body feels as though it went through Jane Fonda's Workout two consecutive times. You feel triumphant, though. Just as you open the door to Carlson, you fall on a piece of ice. So much for a safe walk to class in Clarion.

"SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?"
The first class of the day is always the most unusual. Whether it is at 8:00 in the morning or 1:00 in the afternoon, you feel a little strange and preoccupied. Getting your mind and body to the same place takes a great deal of patience and self-will.
Once you bring yourself to the academic setting, you then notice the other students. They all seem to be in their own worlds, too. Several of the people in the back of the room are having trouble with their contacts, resting their eyes or catching up on the sleep from the night before. A few brave souls in the front of the room appear to be awake, but you're not going to let looks deceive you. Yawns mixed with an occasional snore per-
meate the atmosphere. Your eyes begin to droop and the text- book printing is running all together.
Just when you feel that you can't hold you head up one more minute or keep your heavy eyelids from closing, it's the end of the class. You grab your books and slowly ease yourself out of the desk. As you walk toward the door, the prof yells, "Don't forget. There's a test on Friday. Make sure you know today's lecture." Oh, great.
Tina Reuter
"HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER?"
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed, the toast gets burnt, and you're late for your first class. It's not a typical day; It's more like a scary nnovie. You can't just cover your eyes or crawl under a fluffy blanket; you have to face IT.
There is a little sanity, though. You have some free time be- tween classes to blow off a little steam. It it's warm and sunny, snag a bench near Carlson. While relaxing, you can chat with friends passing by and catch the latest bizarre fashions. Maybe you can grab a nap on a couch in the library. If you're legal or can at least prove that you're of age, then hit the Loomis for a liquid lunch. You might not make it to your evening class, but the
day will fly by. Feeling athletic? The gym is open all day. Work up a sweat by running, lifting weights, or checking out the scen- ery— and I think you know what I mean.
We all have days that drive us to the brink of insanity or at least hysteria. If you learn to calm down, get your mind off the twenty- page report due tomorrow, and spend some time on yourself, then your four years here at Clarion will be a blast. They say that college years are the best of your life — make the most of your time.

A LITTLE BREAK IN THE ACTION
The word for trying to study for a big exam in a roonn built of paper walls . . . impossible. The blaring sound of the neighbors' new Van Halen album and the busy chit-chat of the gossipers below just didn't set the right mood for me to expand my knowledge.
My only option ... the Carlson Library, or so I thought. But peace and quiet was hardly what I found.
Studying for this test was going to be hell, and the library added to the atmosphere with the heat cranked up to what seemed sauna bath level. If I didn't fall asleep studying my material, I thought for sure I'd pass out from heat exhaustion.
The bottom floor seemed like a logical place to begin my search for the perfect study surroundings. I eagerly approached the pri- vate listening rooms only to be disappointed by finding them all occupied. The one appeared to be more like a semi-private bed- room with one student stretched out and face down sound asleep in the pages of his book, possibly trying to let the information soak in through osmosis.
As I walked farther on between the rows and rows of books, half of which I'm sure haven't been taken off the shelves since the first day they were put there, I again came up empty-handed. The place was packed! I did manage to find an unoccupied booth way in the back which allowed me ten minutes of studying. I had just pulled out the last book from my bookbag when the computers behind me began spitting out program sheets.
The second floor hadn't looked too promising either when I walked in, with its lingering cloud of cigarette smoke and the continuous opening and closing of the main doors. Besides, it
looked a bit crowded as I passed by the copy machine. Someone had tomorrow's Econ test; everybody and their mother seemed to be in hot pursuit of any extra dimes. And all I wanted was a place to study!
The third floor was somewhat promising until this girl ap- proached me and asked if I knew where the periodicals were. For some reason she wasn't intimitated by the evil expression on my face and my forceful point in the general direction. She returned five minutes later asking if I could take time out of my studying to show her how to use it. No problem; my studying for some strange reason hadn't even begun.
The fourth floor was my last hope. I sat down at a table only to discover that the fourth floor was a video gossip column. I sat in amazement at the conversations I heard. The guys in back of me discussed one's hot date that took place last Saturday night and why he hadn't gotten a good night kiss. My attention was then diverted to the opposite side of the room by continuous giggling. The girls were "whispering" their secrets so intently I could read their lips from three tables away.
I packed my bookbag up for the last time, and headed out the door. As I walked out of Carlson Library an intense idea came to my mind. All the library needed was a couple of half kegs and the atmosphere could create the party of the year.
I returned to my paper room, the blaring music, and the idle chit-chat, only to find that I had, in comparison to Carlson, peace and quiet after all.

THE LIBRARY- FRIEND OR FOE?
Classes can be as exciting as Christmas or as boring as stuff- ing envelopes. Yet every class has the potential to be thrilling as long as the correct mixture of students is present.
When you enter the classroom grab a seat tovi/ards the back. This enables you the opportunity to scrutinize everyone without them examining you. If you arrive a few minutes early you'll probably see the freshmen who show up ten minutes before class, carrying every book they own. Entering a few minutes later, the intellectuals take the front row seats to see the board better and to win brownie points with the prof.
Approximately three minutes before class begins the average American students saunter in. They usually carry one notebook
that looks like it barely survived the war and a Bic pen with a chewed cap. Nonchalantly these students take seats in the mid- dle of the room and by the windows. The prof now enters and the lecture starts.
About ten minutes into the class a few suspicious looking guys stroll in. They may have a few pieces of loose leaf paper, but they have to borrow a pen from the intellectuals, who carry a whole pack of silver cross pens. These shady characters are usually jocks or druggies.
The prof continues to teach his lesson. You can listen, but the sights going on with your peers is much more interesting. Well, that's another story.

A CLASS ACT.
Everyone, I repeat, everyone loves food. Whether you are a chocolate addict, a pizza freak, or a hamburger junkie, you know the meaning of the term "pig-out".
Lunch time is one of the prime times to gorge yourself w/ith gooey pies, overstuffed hoagies, and piles of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Okay, you're out of luck if you eat in the cafe. Rather than the above mentioned treats, you can dine on stale cake, raw meatloaf, and plain vanilla ice cream. Yuck! But off-campus dwellers are not much more fortunate. After paying out the, uh, ear for an apartment, you can only afford peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apricot jello, and Archway cookies. Well, you have to treat yourself right once in a while!
While eating this delectable meal, your indigestion shouldn't bother you. After all, the sights in the cafe can be pretty deli- cious, too. I've seen friends leave whole meals untouched simply
because their campus crush was sitting in the same cafe. It didn't matter that the object of lust was on the opposite side of the room. Off-campus students have a tougher time scoping, unless you live in the same building I do-one apartment of fe- males, and three of guys. Odds aren't too skimpy. However, since you aren't one of my roommates, you can always hang out on a bench near the library. The only setback is that the vented seats get a bit drafty during January and February. But if it means a chance to catch a glimpse of your campus crush, more power to you.
After satisfying your stomach and eyes, it's time to go to class. Well, to every fairy tale there is an ending and this is it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
i'
■kjm
I am jolted from my near-comatose state of sleep at exactly 4:37 a.m., according to my digital clock. Bleary-eyed and suffering from the effects of a mere three hours sleep, I shuffle into the kitchen and put the kettle on for tea. While I wait for the water to boil, I splash cold water on my face in an effort to jump-start my body and mind. The kettle whistles and I fill my economy-sized mug with hot water and three bags of tea, hoping vaguely that the caffeine will work quickly.
Back in my room I pull out notes and textbooks that have been abandoned since 1:30 a.m. The birds begin to sing, but I pay no heed as I concentrate diligently on the material in front of me. I study everything: notes, charts, studyguides. I memo- rize until I can recite it all forward, backward, and sideways. Finally, as the sun begins to rise, I start to feel sure of myself. After another mug of extra caffeine enriched tea, I feel confi- dent enough to abandon my studies long enough to shower and dress. I munch on a stale English muffin as I go through my notes one more time. Then I leave for class.
Arriving early in class, I run through the material again, "just to be sure." Just before the professor arrives, I sharpen two number 2 pencils and pull out my lucky eraser. As the tests are distributed, I take a deep breath and look over the first few questions. "This doesn't look too bad," I think to myself as I begin the test.
Twenty minutes later I am outside, feeling very relieved and at peace with the world in general. I have survived another ordeal of college life, and succeeded.
The next two days pass in a sort of bliss, my confidence is high and I smile a lot, until I return to class and the graded tests are returned. The professor talks about how well the class did as a whole, and I feel great. Then he returns my paper and I discover my grade is a D. After all that work, a D. I am shocked, disgusted and upset all at once. After conferring with my roommates later in the day, we all decide that maybe a beer or six will enhance my perspective a bit.

THE CAFFEINE CONTROVERSY.
nil
For most college students classes consist of lectures with quizzes and tests. Every once in a blue moon or sunny day in Clarion, students are treated to a break from the ordinary class- room structure with group discussions, oral presentations, and unusual projects. Perhaps one of the most unique experiences is a lab, rather than a regular class.
Labs are offered in several different majors including biology, physics, communication, and physical science. Only people who thrive on experimenting with combustibles or toying with smelly chemicals take these classes. Maybe they are obsessed with keeping their hands busy or enjoy taking unique courses that other more traditional students shudder at. Whatever the reason, laboratories are here to stay.
niHiiiiiiiiiiiiiyiiiiiia
For the nonserious student, labs can be a source of incredible ecstasy or at least break up an otherwise ho-hum day. You notice that there are plenty of live and inanimate things to occu- py your time. You can hide fish eggs and pig intestines in your lab partner's knapsack. It's childish, but still funny. You can try to cause a power shortage by overloading the power circuts. At least everyone will have a free afternoon. You can also develop kinky pictures of your roommate. Tell her it's art; she'll never know the difference.
Labs can be exciting and worthwhile, as long as you don't take them too seriously.

HANDS ON EXPERIENCE
The day is over with. That's all she wrote. Fini. You don't even glance back at the buildings for fear that you will turn to salt or worse yet, remember that you have more work to do in the library. It's been one killer day. Your eyes are rolling around in your head like marbles in a cup. Your fingers ache from dissect- ing a disgusting pig. Your back aches from bending over too many tests. There's a 50-50 chance your legs will collapse any minute. You are not a pleasant sight.
The walkto your dorm room or apartment seems like running a marathon, backwards. You arrive at your home abode tired and cranky. What awaits you? A tremendously high phone bill, an
empty refrigerator, and three annoying roommates. This is defi- nitely not your idea of a fun day.
As you relax on your unmade bed, the day's events are scram- bled like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Soon your brain mellows out as you think about going home, the next party, the five-page English paper due tomorrow. What? Every muscle in your body tenses. You shake your weary head, rub your red eyes, and sit down to compose five pages of nonsense. You wouldn't even wish this day on your worst enemy.

One of my favorite quotes is, "To know is notlning at all. To imagine is everything." I wish my professors lived by that quote rather than by the 650-page textbook they make me memorize.
Studying is a neat phenomena to examine here at Clarion. You can always tell, without the use of a calendar, that finals have arrived. The students walk around glassy-eyed and exhausted, while the professors smile and joke with each other. Everyone is carrying stacks of texts, notebooks, and dimes (should any available tests suddenly become available).
Cramming is a popular method of study at college. Of course, college students argue that there isn't enough time in the day to compose Business Writing papers, memorize geometry formu- las, and learn Marketing strategies. After all, they have to make
time to vent their frustrations, which translates into hit the Roost on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and partying at the Park on the weekend. This leaves little time for education, book-wise. Thus, studying soon becomes cramming.
Cramming is an art. You must appear disheveled with un- combed hair, rolled-up sleeves, and dirty jeans. Carrying only one notebook, you arrive at the library and procrastinate. You don't want to look too anxious to study those fifteen chapters of Econ. When you cram, you only memorize the information that is very important. Little details are discarded. You only review your notes until 12:00. After all, the library closes, and you need your beauty sleep. The life of a crammer isn't easy.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
What department has maintained sta- bility in the last four years, increased its internship program, while providing Clari- on students with interest and enthusiasm in obtaining their career goals?
The answer is obvious, the Accounting Department headed by Dr. Charles Pin- eno. The department has maintained over 500 Accounting majors for each of the last four years. Keeping up while improv- ing quality of incoming students has been a major objective for this department. They have succeeded by producing fine students like Steve Turchick, recipient of the Arthur H. Carter Scholarship, Patricia Harnish, winner of the PIPCA scholarship, and Amber Wilcox, who also received a scholarship from the Northwest Chapter of the National Association of Accountants.
The Accounting Internship Program continues to expand. Various firms are in- vited to Clarion's campus to interview po- tential interns who have maintained a 3.0 QPA and are of junior or senior standing. Four out of five students who are eligible for internships participate in this fine pro- gram. "The Accounting Department's In- ternship Program has improved chances of landing a job in a big-eight firm," stated senior Accounting student Kevin Boroch.
Changes in the department include a new book written by Dr. Dempsey Du-
pree, and a new class requirement for in- coming Accounting students. The new book by Dr. Dupree is now being used for Financial Accounting lecture and ALEX system classes. New requirements for freshmen involve waiting until their sopho- more year before taking basic Accounting classes and also only upper-level classes will be available to juniors or seniors.
The department allows students to par- ticipate in their major both in and out of the classroom. This year's special events in the department involved a trip to Wash- ington D.C. by the Accounting Club, the participation in the VITA tax program, and meetings of the Accounting Advisory Board with students. The department also hosted a Professional Development Semi- nar which began on March 21 for the Na- tional Association of Accountants.
The Accounting Department has had a contributory impact on the college and community. Graduating students who have been hired have shown success in the competitive business world. Faculty members are also involved in professional accounting organizations as officers on the regional and national levels. Using both outstanding faculty members and enthusiastic students, the Accounting De- partment is by far a leading academic de- partment at Clarion University.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
To most C.U.P. students, the remodel- ing of Stevens Hall only means a change in its outward appearance to cleaned-up bricks and mirrored windows. But to those in the School of Education, the redesign of the building creates a huge impact on the quality of their education. The new setting has been transformed from an old school- house into a modern efficient area to ac- commodate the needs of the students.
Aside from modernized offices and classrooms, the hall now has the capacity to videotape students working in the classroom atmosphere. This change is beneficial because it gives Education ma- jors the chance to be critiqued and stud- ied while in a teaching experience. The new design of classrooms also allows in-
structional materials to be stored in the rooms where they are used. A computer room is being organized which will com- plete Stevens as a self-sufficient hall serv- ing the School of Education.
The department, which gives degrees from Early Childhood to Senior High School education, works very closely with the Clarion Area Community. In addition to the Nursery School housed in Stevens, student teachers intern in local schools within a fifty mile radius of the University. Many alumni and in-service faculty make this important field experience possible. Not only do Clarion students involve themselves in the community through teaching, but many actively participate in volunteer projects that benefit the com-
munity. For example story hours for chil- dren are read at the mall and religious instruction is held at various churches in the area.
The community also awarded a new an- nual scholarship this year. Amy Stewart, a junior Education major, received a $200 scholarship from the Clarion County Re- tired Public School Teachers Association for her work in the School of Education.
Along with its new setting in Stevens, the Education department is expanding and updating to better accomodate the students and community with highly re- spected and influential programs.

MATH DEPARTMENT
To most students here at Clarion, the Mathematics department may not appear to be as exciting as some of the other departments, but Dr. Benjamin Freed ex- plained the Math department isn't as bor- ing as people might think.
Recently many students in the depart- ment have been honored for their achievements and have received deserv- ing recognition for exhibiting extraordi- nary motivation within the department. Among these students is Robert Bohlen, who received the Foundation Award of $300 for his outstanding achievements. The Top Senior Award, which is member- ship in the Mathematics Association, went to four seniors in 1983, Deborah Mullen, Michel Ossesia Jr., Cindy Oakly, and Val- erie Smith. The 1984 recipient is John
Alexopoulis. This award is given to seniors who have been exceptional achievers throughout their stay at Clarion. The new inductees into the Mathematics Honorary Society, Pi Mu Epsilon, for 1984 were Su- san Axelson, Robert Bohlen, Shari Lowell, Linda Moore, Micheal Ossesia Jr. and Val- erie Smith. They were inducted during the honors banquet for the entire University.
There were and will be a number of per- sonnel changes in the department as a result of retirements. In December of 1983 Mr. Eugene Rhoades retired and in the summer of 1985 Mr. Donald Pagano will retire.
The Mathematics department keeps its students on the ball by running a problem contest. Every Friday a problem is posted on the bulletin board outside the depart-
ment office and the students have until the following Friday to solve the problem. A prize is given to the student with the most problems solved at the end of the semester.
The Math Club meets once a month to discuss departmental issues as well as show movies, give talks on new develop- ments in the fields of mathematics and to discuss the student newsletter, "Sum News."
All in all, the Mathematics department has much to be proud of in its students and faculty. They make their own excitement.

ART DEPARTMENT
Walking down the wing of the Art De- partment in Marwick-Boyd, one innmedi- ateiy notices the different atmosphere among the classrooms. Sculpture tables and painting easels are set up in rooms as opposed to desks and chairs. The drone of a teacher's lecture is replaced by the sound of classical music. Creativity re- places thoughts of numbers and words in the Art Department.
The Art Department offers several so- cial programs for the Clarion student. One , m which the faculty and the students ,me more familiar with each other is ave a social meeting. Topics such as ,or planning, grad work and curricu- changes are discussed. Don Reed is tne president of the Art Club this year. The /'rt Club is open to anyone who has an 'est in the arts. Fundraisers help the , afford its trips to New York City and
Philadelphia galleries.
Clarion's Sanford Gallery is located on the second floor of Marwick-Boyd. Along with the university, the Clarion community plays a large part in supporting the gal- lery. Mrs. Thomas Bond is the director of the gallery. The board is made up of stu- dents, faculty, alumni and community members. The Sanford Gallery Associa- tion helps to present exhibitions and they purchase significant art works for the per- manent collection. They have initiated an endowment fund for the gallery along with memorial fund provisions and special dedications. Students can now join this association without paying the fee re- quired in previous years.
Plans are in the making for expanding Clarion's Art Department. Mr. Seelye, head of the Art department, states that a new course will be introduced next fall.
Advertising and Commercial Art will be offered with plans to continue if it proves successful. A new degree for Clarion, Bachelor of Art, is on hold in Harrisburg until the new qualifications can be satis- fied. Clarion presently offers majors in ce- ramics, painting, sculpture, and fiber/fabrics.
Unlike other majors, art majors are ac- customed to their work being displayed to the public. Compared to the internships that other majors require, all art majors have to present an exhibit of their works during their senior year. Art. What is art? Clarion University's Art Department seems to answer that question.

COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
"Input unrecognized command," is a familiar quote for computer majors who are creating programs. To alleviate tfie frustrations of computer jibberish, the new Digital Vax 780 computer system has a HELP command for students process- ing data. The Department of Computer Information Science has installed two new systems this past year. One of the sys- tems will assist the administrative duties while the other system will be deployed for student use.
Dr. Dale Brown, chairperson for the CIS Department says, "We are very proud of the new computer. It is easier to use, costs less to operate, and is more efficient than the Sperry Vac system it replaced."
To assist in student learning, there is an eight person faculty. The Department also has a widely recognized internship pro- gram, placing students at numerous busi- nesses, banks and industries. These places are located in and around Pennsyl-
dents from Clarion University have trained as interns. Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, who is in charge of this program, has arranged for students to get hands on experience at such places as Mellon Bank, Kodak, Quaker State, and Clarion University is currently looking into other organizations. Here at Clarion, a Bachelor in Comput- er Science Degree is offered within a track of two majors. These majors are Comput- er Science and Computer Applications and Information Systems. The courses in these major areas give the students the most complete and up to date knowledge , and skills needed for future employment, i If you are interested in computers or have i any questions concerning the CIS Depart- [ ment of Clarion University, stop by Becker j and the faculty of the CIS Department will be happy to assist you.

SPEECH COMMUNICATION AND THEATRE DEPARTMENT
The Speech Communication and The- atre department had its beginning in 1960 when it evolved from the English depart- ment. The department today consists of twelve faculty members, three of whom have received Distinguished Faculty Awards for teaching excellence, and about 110 students. The department of- fers four degrees and approximately fifty courses. Along with the regular curricu- Ijm, the department also sponsors three extra-curricular activities: Debate, Individ- ual Events, and Theatre.
The department also has a very active internship program as they have placed qualified majors with such agencies as the Manhattan Theatre Club, WGNE-TV in Nashville, Pittsburgh Public Theatre, the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives and the Pittsburgh Chamber of Com- merce. Doctor Robert H. Copeland, chair- person of the department, says, "Our extensive internship program has allowed us to place our graduates in many differ- ent fields. In a survey of our graduates from 1978-1982 we learned that SCT alumni are employed in business manage- ment, sales, radio/television, business administration, education, regional and professional theatre, public relations and government and social services. Approxi- mately one half of our graduates have gone on to graduate schools in such areas as speech communication, student per- sonnel, radio/television, the ministry, law, oral interpretation, and acting and play directing." The Speech Communication and The-
atre department has also become an inte- gral part of campus and community relations. Each year the department spon- sors four major productions and several student-directed shows. The department also sponsors the Summer Stock Theatre which allows students to develop skills in all aspects of theatre as well as perform in several major productions which are pre- sented over the summer.
The department has also distinguished itself as one of the best departments in the state. It was the first of the State Colleges to offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. The forensics team is nationally known and several plays have won theatre awards.

ROTC
ROTC enhances a student's education by providing unique leadership and man- agement experience found in few college courses. It helps develop self-discipline, physical stamina, and poise. Students de- velop qualities basic to success in any worthwhile career. They earn commis- sions in the U.S. Army, while earning their college degrees. Fred W. O'Green, Presi- dent, Litton Industries, Inc., sums it up as follows: "Poise and confidence come with experience in leadership positions. ROTC has proved to be an excellent environ- ment in which to generate the ability to make sound decisions relating to given situations. Industry and business and, in- deed, all walks of life require and reward those who can analyze, appraise and then commit available resources to achieve de- fined goals. ROTC provides a generously equipped laboratory in which to test young men, and those who acquit them- selves well will always be in demand in our society."
The Clarion University ROTC Depart- ment went out on its own. It no longer would be known as a branch department of Indiana University of Pennsylvania ROTC Departnent. Since the breakup, the ROTC Department at Clarion University has developed and maintained a founda- tion It can proudly stand on.
The student enrollment in ROTC class- es has steadily been increasing over the years, but the biggest increase came this year. There are 50 percent more cadets this year than there were in 1983 and the department has also retained many of its MSI and MSII cadets from 1983.
Clarion ROTC cadets have always been high achievers and the Cadre would ex- pect nothing less from them. This year alone, our cadets were recognized for completing Advance Camp, some for earning the coveted "Recondo Badge" during their attendance at Advance Camp, and six cadets received awards from Clarion officials for service within the community.
Few would expect to see a "hero" with- in our ranks, but Lieutenant Colonel Smith, head professor of military science, warns that there are heroes all over cam- pus, "Everybody that works here is an unsung hero because they are involved in one of the most important jobs in the Army-developing and training young Lieu- tenants for duty all over the world."
Being a cadet is not all work and no play. The Cadre incorporate a lot of fun into the cadets' program of instruction. The cadets participate in trips to West Point, a Military Ball, an Awards Ceremo-
ny, an Air-Mobile exercise, Rappelling trips to Panther Caves, White-water Raft- ing, Rope Bridging, Cross-country Skiing and many other activities which occur during the year.
Upon graduation, cadets are commis- sioned as Second Lieutenants into the U.S. Army to do a job which entails a lot of responsibility. They are in charge of the health, morale and welfare of their sol- diers, as well as being responsible for valuable equipment. Above all, the securi- ty of the United States rests in their hands.
Even though they have all these respon- sibilities on their shoulders, they know they are not forgotten back at Clarion Uni- versity. Says Lieutenant Colonel Smith, "The Department has maintained an Alumni roster and we send them cadet newsletters. There is continuous interac- tion between the new Lieutenants and the Cadre here in the Department."

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
There have been many significant changes in the English department this year. First, there are two technological changes-a word processor and a video cassette recorder. The word processor, which is located in the main office suite, is used primarily for administrative work. On the other hand, the VCR is used in the classroom for film studies and satire class- es. Because of the low cost of video cas- sette tapes, the VCR has made it possible for professors to expose their students to a wider variety of film and satiric literature.
In addition to technological changes, there have been course changes, as well. Currently the department is revising the number and types of drama courses of-
fered. A new class in scientific and techni- cal writing has been implemented. As a result of Dr. Wilson's studies in Canada the English department will also be offer- ing a new class which focuses on Canadi- an poetry.
Two students of Clarion University's En- glish department have also succeeded in reflecting well on the university by winning awards this year. Leigh Bacha participat- ed in the Association of English Depart- ments of State Universities Conference, and won the Max Nimmer award. The Outstanding Senior award was given to Donna Hebrank. By next year the depart- ment will be implementing the Centorcelli Award for entering juniors.
Aside from these awards, the depart- ment has been experiencing a change in
the career possibilities it emphasizes. During the past year many English stu- dents have been able interns — primarily in Pittsburgh or Harrisburg — which in- volve working and writing for the state or politicians, ivlany times these internships lead to jobs, and so the department has begun to prepare students for such jobs in addition to jobs in the fields of education. The English Department is also plan- ning to participate in the Medieval Confer- ence this year. In addition it will also host a workshop in writing departmental curricu- lum for Clarion professors. In the spring the department plans to hold a writing workshop for high school teachers in the surrounding school districts.

COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT
Clarion University lias many reasons to be proud, one of which is the Communica- tion department. The department offers a variety of co-curricular activities for all stu- dents. From media to journalism, Clarion offers only the best in training for the future.
The department achieved several hon- ors during the spring semester of 1984. C.U.P.'s campus radio station, WCUC-FM vi/on the Pennsylvania Associated Press Award last year for having the best sportscasting with a listening audience of 10,000. CUB TV-5 won first place in na- tional competition form the Society for Collegiate Journalists. Ms. Patricia Marini, a Communication's faculty member, and
her advertising class won third place in the Phillip Morris National Marl<eting Compe- tition for 1984.
Changes that recently have taken place in the department include the hiring of Dr. Dilnawaz Siddiqui. He instructs graduate students on the training level of manage- ment. He also teaches undergraduate classes. Dr. Allan Larson has resigned as chairman of the department and since January 1985, Ms. Marini has assumed the position.
The departmental clubs are very active. I. A. B.C. (International Association of Business Communications), which is ad- vised by Mr. William Lloyd, have sched- uled trips to Pittsburgh. Highlights
included a tour of KDKA-TV and radio sta- tions, plus watching a filming of the talk show, "Pittsburgh Today."
The Communication Department is also proud to have a 70% placement record in such fields as public relations, T.V., ra- dio broadcasting and advertising. Intern- ships are optional in the department, but are strongly advised for training and expe- rience values.
Clarion students are fortunate to be part of such a strong Communication Department.

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA
Since the Gamma Omicron Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded in Clarion in 1967, girls from a variety of backgrounds and personalities have been able to enhance their college years with a very special sisterhood.
This year that sisterhood has grown with the acquisition of our house located at 1056 Wood Street. Anyone is welcome to stop in anytime.
Throughout the school year, Alpha Sigs participate in many campus activities such as Homecoming, Miss CUP, Derby Days, and Greek Week. Each semester we have formals, fundraisers, speakers, and other activities. Most importantly, the Alpha Sigs support Special Olympics as a philanthropic project.

ALF- '85
Fans of all ages flocked the streets for the annual Homecoming Parade. There were the usual spectacles- floats, bands, politicians, greeks and more bands. There were also the usual hangouts- the OX house, tavern, MJ's and directly in front of any location that sold refreshments of any kind. Still, even with all that seemed typical, there was that certain feeling of excitement in the air that is emphatically ALF. You can't really describe it, maybe it's the smell of popcorn and funnel cakes or maybe it's the sound of parades and rides. It could be seeing old friends and reliving special times, or maybe it's just the notion that ALF is THE big week- end. It is, of course, the weekend or week (if you can stretch it out to that), that everything happens and everyone sits back and forgets tests, papers and studying. And that, with the combina- tion of people and spectacular events, is what makes Autumn Leaf Festival so special.

MARKETING A MAJOR
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES
The educational experience sometimes exceeds the classroom and runs smack dab into a student's life. There are many opportunities to actually work in whatever major you are involved in. For Communi- cation majors there are the radio stations, Call and TV 5. For Biology majors there are work study jobs in the labs. Education majors can get some practice experience by working at the day care center. And even Psychology majors can run rats through mazes in the Psych, lab. There is more than one way to learn and outside the class could be just that way.

QUOTABLE QUOTES
"I like it here at Clarion, and now with all the different majors to choose from and all the new electives that keep popping up I might just stay another couple of years." (Student on the eight year plan.)
"I loved Chandler's Food! An ice cream machine, hamburger day, a deli line, and all those fresh rolls-not to mention unlimited helpings." (Freshman who gained 37 pounds while living in the dorm.)
"I feel my education was of a great benefit to me as a person." (A student who will go far.)
"Clarion has been a great experience for me; of course there are so many people to thank but let me first thank all my teachers who have
brought me such unlimited joy
." (Brown noser.)
"I really didn't want to go to school, but Clarion has been okay as far as it goes- I never stayed for a weekend and my parents came and got me every Wednesday, but other than that I really feel I've cut the old apron string." (Mama's Boy-still.)
"Yeah! Clarion was great! there were the parties, the Roost, U.I. and of course all the classes I went to- I don't know how administration expects us to go to every final during finals week." (Student who never saw the light of day.)
THE BEST OF "ONLY AT CLARION ..."
- can a girl find 10 new scopes this semester.
- is Hitler alive and well.
- are you considered an old nnaid at the age of 21. I'm not that old, guys.
- does a girl get up at 3 a.m. to look for her ceramic pots under her roommate's bed.
- are the plates, trays, and silverware at Chandler hotter than the food.
- does your scope finally kiss you.
-do you talk so much about your scope that your friends dream about him.
- can you have a date for your final
- does an unaware R.A. come in to hand out Alcohol Awareness questionaires to six students drinking in a dorm room.
- does the term "cool beans" mean a good situation.
- does it never stop snowing and raining
- do students have more fun throwing the food than eating it.
- do you wait for Homecoming to see the people you used to complain about.
- does time fly so quickly.
- are the people you like never the ones who like you.
- is College park the place to party when you're a freshman but not when you're a senior.
- is the Loomis good for free food.
- are boys still boys.
- do you study all night only to fail.
- is a beaner no relation to any food.
- is New Years Eve on Jan. 21
A WINTER STORY . .
IT DAWNED LIKE ANY OTHER DAY, THE ALARM CLOCK WENT OFF AND THE DAY BE6AN-BUT THIS WAS NOT TO BE LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
STOPPED SINGING, THE SKY TURNED GRAY, AND LIFE STOPPED.
ONCE IT STARTED THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT'S TERROR. WINTER COATS THAT
IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER! THE MOST DREADED DAY FOR AN OFF CAMPUS STUDENT. THE DAY THE BIRDS
HID YOUR SCOPES BUM OR
LEGWARMERS THAT NEVER STAYED UP AND COLLECTED TINY BITS OF ICE THAT MELTED AS YOU SAT
IN GLASS, FORMING LITTLE POOLS OF WATER UNDER YOUR 15 POUND BOOTS. WINTER IS A SEASON THAT CAN ONLY BE APPRECIATED BY THE RESIDENTS OF CLARION. I I
THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF COLD WIND, ICY RAIN AND OF COURSE SNOW THAT FALLS AND THEN FALLS SOME MORE. NO ONE IN ADMISSIONS EVER
TOLD US ABOUT WIND CHILLS THAT DIPPED BELOW 60 DEGREES, SNOW THAT PILED ON PORCHES, PEOPLE AND CARS. AH YES, SCENIC
CLARION -THOSE WONDERFUL WINTERS, IT ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO TRANSFER TO
BUFFALO.

SENIOR REFLECTIONS
I WONDER:
how old I'll be when I finally pay back all my student loans?
if it really nnattered to my education that Clarion State College became a University?
what that shiny metallic paper on Peirce's windows is for?
if anyone has figured out the purpose of those "art" objects in Peoples Park?
what you have to do to get a building named after you? (poor Mr. Chandler)
who put those springy little animals in front of Becker?
is it Margaret or Marwick-Boyd?
if any college student ever visited the Sandford Art Gallery because he/she wanted to?
how many mpg's those maintenance carts get and if they are equipped with AM/FM-cassette?
why I'm writing this?
if Marwick-Boyd is a Fine Arts building or just a short-cut to Becker?
what happened to "Stormin' Norman Humphrey"?
if I'll ever use the text books I have saved?
why sheep are always on the cover of the campus directory?
if, since the pendulum doesn't move in Peirce, does this mean the earth has stopped?
whose brilliant idea it was to build handicap ramps that lead to stairs?
if Forest Manor is really worth the walk?
if they'll ever heighten the water foun- tains in Becker?
what a Dean really does?
if anyone cares if we have a greenhouse?
if President Bond drives to work?
why they call it Public Safety, shouldn't it be College Safety?
what makes Bob's Subs so good?
if the book store will ever sell all their Clarion State merchandise?
why our female cheerleaders don't have "CUP" written on their uniform tops?
how to end this?
if Clarion will ever get a synchronized swimming team?
whose job it is to roll up the sidewaks in town at 5 pm?
why we have a Clarion golden chicken for a mascot rather than an eagle?
who asked me to write this? ....
-Greg Daniels
I can't believe it's over! Four years ago, my first night up here, I was stuck in tem- porary housing. What an awful way to be- gin— I cried my heart out. I thought, "If I withdraw from school tomorrow, I'll still get most of my money back." But, my Mom and Dad, in more ways than one, told me that I must endure this great insti- tution of learning.
At times. Clarion University was an in- stitution— a place that all of us were dedi- cated to in one way or another. Either you were a workaholic or an alcoholic, and instead of living, you sometimes just bare- ly managed to survive. A workaholic was one who studied faithfully and turned ev- ery single assignment in on time. An alco- holic was one who didn't have a serious drinking problem, but one who quit study- ing at a drop of a hat to catch the latest bar specials in town. If you knew me at all, you can figure out which category I be- longed to. Still, I became a serious student when it was absolutely necessary. You cannot truly experience academic life until you've pulled an all-nighter.
Procrastination infiltrated my life up here, but I couldn't put off graduation. They said we must venture out into the "real world". To me, this was as real as it was going to get. Did you experience ev- erything that you hoped to? The good and the bad? Communication co-curriculars, Chandler Dining Hall gourmet meals, arc- tic weather, Friday happy hour at the Roost, H.W.'s Advanced Composition class, late nighters at College Park, shat- tered hearts, friendships, and love — real love, to name a few. I did. And I've grown so much.
Four years is a long time to grow, to change and to mature, but it is really over. I have to mention a few people by name so that they know how truly special they were, and still are to me — Jayme, Regina, Mollie, Riz, Denise, Jenni, Kim W., Kutch, and of course Jack.
To those who were avid supporters of mine during my editorship with The Clari- on Call, thank you. You always made my
day when you staggered up to me at the Roost to tell me what you thought of my editorials. Thank you for letting me serve you the best way that I knew how. Happy 36th birthday Art Barlow! Remember Indiana!
And lastly, thanks Mom and Dad, for not letting me quit.
Sincerely,
Theresa Marie Waida
At approximately 8:00 A.M. on July 23, 1981, my parents and I approached the parking lot of Given Hall. It was there that everyone gathered to register for orienta- tion. We were assigned leaders and groups with whom we would spend the next thirty-six hours. As I gazed about the room, I was overcome by a great feeling of uncertainty and anxiety. What role would this College, these people, and Chandler Dining Hall play in the next four years of my life? By 1 1:00 P.M. I had already be- come acquainted with two other orientees and was now cozily nestled in my pajam- mas with a handful of the other female orientees in the childproof furniture, situ- ated in the TV room. The scene was pretty much the same as that of Annette and friends in "Beach Blanket Bingo." The conversation consisted of the important things in life — clothes, hair, soap operas and MEN. Although the atmosphere was casual, it was apparent that we were all pretty nervous about what the next four years would bring.
It is now four years later, and six of the original handful remain. Our paths have crossed many times as we've watched each grow through academics, campus organizations, relationships, and personal achievements. On May 19, 1985 the six of us will stand together, once again to begin a new orientation. We will be feeling the same sense of adventure and the same anxiety about what is to come. To those five, especially Tina, I'd like to leave my feelings as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow has so greatly summed them up; "Let us then Be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to Labor and to Wait."
Mary Pat McCarthy
It seems like just yesterday, remember when I met you? Remember when you met me? Remember how we thought it would never end, our whole lives seemed wrapped up in this. Remember those old friends, now gone on, who made the dif- ference in our lives if only in their depar- ture. I remember you when we drank all day at the Roost, I remember you when we laughed so hard we cried. I remember so little of it all but I remember so much of you. Remember when all that there was, was each other? Remember my first love, and yours? Remember the hours that have passed the days gone by, the hurt and the joy? I will always remember you as fondly as I remember the fall or that first smile you gave me. I will always re- member because who of us could ever forget?

Four years doesn't seem like a long time to most people, but a lot of things can change — Clarion State College, the Roost, the Motor Lodge, Phero's Market, and me. When I first came to Clarion, I was a stranger in a new place. When my parents dropped me off, I was 300 miles from home, not knowing a soul. Forest Manor was my new home, like it or not. I had no choice, so as time went on, I adjusted.
I met many friends my freshman year at the Manor, and I still consider them some of my closest friends. Together we experi- enced things that were completely new to us. Cafeteria food, College Park parties, pledging Sigma Chi, and campus life in general are just a few of the memories that will remain with me forever.
As an underclassman, the two things I looked forward to the most were turning 21 and graduation. As can be expected turning 21 was an experience that just can't be described. With graduation ap- proaching, I'm not quite sure how I feel. I'm excited, yet apprehensive. Behind will be left friends, roommates, parties, and probably the best times of my life. Only fate knows what lies ahead.
-Brian J. Kelly
As a high school student. I couldn't wait to go to college. You see, since about the 10th grade, every- one has always told me that I look like Barry Mani- low! Well. I took it all in stride, figuring things would change in college. Surprise, surprise. Things didn't change in college. Actually, things went from bad to worse!
Perfect strangers have come up to me these past four years asking that unforgettable question. "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Barry Mani- low?" Being asked that same question an average of five times a week, I think you can get an idea of what I've had to put up with. Now don't get me wrong: it's been kind of fun!
People whisper to one another at parties about my looks, professors say I resemble Barry Manilow, and yes, even my own mother has been quoted as saying that I look like Barry Manilow. It has gotten to the point that more people call me Barry than my real name (it's Chuck by the way!).
To top it all off, one of my favorite watering holes, the Roost, recently had a "Dress as Your Favorite Rock Star" contest. Well, I decided not to dress up that night, but I won for looking like guess who! (Actually, It was a tie. but for this article it sounds better to say I won).
I can't help but wonder If people will continue to ask me that "unforgettable question" ten years down the road. If all goes well maybe people will go up to Barry Manilow and ask him, "has anyone ever told you that you look like Chuck Lloi?" Here's Hop- ing! Cheers, Clarion! We'll Talk Soon!
-Chuck Liol
Walking into my first small dorm room- soon to be called Home-seems like it hap- pened last week. Remembering every party- well, almost every party- every weekend, every late night trip to Bob's Sub with the midnight munchies and every sabotage trick played on unknowing neighbors.
Over the last three years, more memo- ries are gained than can fill up a life time. Making friends year by year, moving to new dorm, saying good-bye to old friends. These are all just one part of all the good times along with all the bad.
Let us not forget the education we are getting here at Clarion U- one hundred and one uses for a chewed-up pen cap. And, oh, yes, the last minute cram for fin- als. But after all the joking and after all is said and done, you come out a little bit smarter and a whole lot wiser.
One more year and then it's . . . RE- SPONSIBILITY!!!! It is hard to believe. Maybe you'll never go four-wheeling at two in the morning or just pick up and go to Ohio. There is one thing you can always do and that is always look back at the friends and the memories.

Four years filled with friends, fun, and the frustration of higher education. It be- gins with freshman orientation, basic 100 level classes, cinder-block dorm rooms, unpalatable Chandler food, and the DES- PERATE SEARCH for a new identity- the beginnings of a new life starts . . .
Well, I could continue this epic of the years; however, it's not really what I want to say, so let's try this . . .
From the Holiday Inn to the Roost and College Park parties, living weekend to weekend, in a DESPERATE SEARCH for beer . . .
Well, that's not what I want to say ei- ther. I guess what I'm really trying to say is how do you sum up four very important years in a sentence or two. However, However, in a DESPERATE SEARCH for words I'll try . . .
To Clarion, a town which has become a second home to us, to a university which has given knowledge, good times and friends, and to these friends that remain here, and to friends we'll never see again . . . We leave all this now, in a DESPERATE SEARCH for work!
-Ron Sylvester
As we look back on our four years of college, we have to realize that we not only gained knowledge, but precious friendships.
Remember the first day we met our
roommates . . . the new friends that turned out to be the best support system . . . how we cried about our love lives or lack of them . . . the practical jokes we played (hanging underwear out a window or tying a friend in a chair and putting her on Campbell's elevator.)
We can't forget the parties . . . the po- lice coming and a massive scatter to safe- ty .. . Autumn Leaf Festival and hanging out by the Tavern . . . going to the river with six-packs and watching friends float away on innertubes . . . Wednesdays at the U.I. . . . Thursdays at the Roost . . . happy hour wherever.
In the end, we cried at graduation as we left to go our separate ways.
As we look back on our memories we wonder where the time went. These were the best years of our lives and if we were to do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing. We wish we did not have to leave these friends, but we realize we never will leave them, for we will always have our memories.
-Becky "Riz" Riznick
If certainly has been a terrific experi- ence here at Clarion. Together we have grown in our academic and social knowl- edge. Classes, parties and friendships, and not to mention studying, have taken up the majority of our four years here. We have acquired a taste for institutional food, developing our own strategies to combat the rain and snow, snow that
eventually turns into a disaster area for the uncoordinated, and found excuses to blow off classes.
Through it all we have been able to function and grow. There have been per- sonal tragedies, momentous occasions, and 21st birthdays. There have been A grades and F grades. We learned to adapt and learned to cope. At times it has been a struggle-survival of the fittest perhaps- but in the end we realized that we had matured.
I have enjoyed every instance men- tioned above. It has been unique and worthwhile. It has been hectic and enlight- ening. It has been confusing and exciting.
The time draws near for us to depart from this small town. The real world awaits, ready to challenge the weaponry we have accumulated here. Hopefully, we can utilize what we have learned, make the best of what we are. There is so much out there for us to accomplish, so many dreams and goals to fulfill and attain. If we concentrate and reflect, maybe we will understand that if we apply ourselves we can achieve, we can move forward.
Clarion has been so kind, so rewarding. It may not be apparent now, but someday we will look back and yearn for the return of the good old days, the days of struggle, fun, romance, excitement. Until that time, do your best to achieve all you can. It might turn out to be a terrific experience, just as Clarion was.
-John Casey
Having lived here all of my life, the Clari- on University experience is merely an ex- tension, and yet a culmination, of what is familiar and safe for me. Clarion is a small town set in a beautiful area of western Pennsylvania. Having visited large cities only briefly, I don't find Clarion as confin- ing as some students here. I appreciate its comfortable pace of living. Yet college has shown me there is so much more be- yond this small town. I now have a solid foundation on which to base my future.
Looking back at memories of dorm food, cafeteria food, sports events, the- ater productions, all of the speeches I've written and delivered, all of the friends I've made and will miss, I am ready to move beyond Clarion. I appreciate all that it has provided me. I am ready for more.
-Lisa A. Linton
A friend who opted out of college re- cently asked me, "Well, Stac, now that you're almost out of that place, what have you learned?" After some thought, this is what I came up with:
. . . coffee grounds and trashcans should be emptied on a regular basis.
... if one inserts money into a soda machine, one will not receive a soda, but will get one's money back in approxi- mately one month.
. . . anything left unattended in a laun- dry room automatically becomes com- munal property.
. . . flashlights. Ace bandages, and dry gas are good investments.
... it is possible to subsist for two weeks with less than a dollar in one's pocket.
. . . guilt by association is alive and well.
. . . there is no such thing as a "typical" anything.
. . . some things never change, and some things never stop changing.
. . . when opportunity knocks, one should grab it by the throat.
. . . And I've learned that, although there is a difference between a dream and a fantasy, fantasies can become dreams, and dreams can become reality.
-Staci Lee Stuter
Three hundred miles sounds like an eternity when you leave home for the first time. Good-bye. Phila- delphia! Hello. Clarion! Clarion? What is that — a mu- sical instrument? 1 answered each sarcastic remark with a witty reply, packed my typewriter and Lee leans, and headed for this mysterious place.
Although I arrived here alone and maybe a tiny bit scared, just a tiny bit. my four years have held some unbelievable memories. When I think of Clarion, the word "party" pops into my mind. I danced on the tables with Kim at the Park, boogied to "Shout" with Chuck at the Roost, and hit the 6-Pack shop with everyone a few times a week. I paid for those adven- tures with several stitches, a fractured elbow, and a broken nose-twice. I'm surprised my friends didn't take bets as to what I would injure next. Or did you?
Yet as I leave here I feel my heart grow a little heavy, just a little. The images of those ancient build- ings where I learned and dreamed may fade, but the memories of friendships will live on. I'll remember playing Trivial Pursuit with MaryPat and trying to recall that "forgotten" ALF weekend that Tnsh and I enjoyed so much. Happy Hour at the Roost will al- ways be remembered as one of the best socializing times. Of course I'll never forget scoping at the cafe, sleeping in the library, spending whole days in Becker, drinking Brains, doing Research homework, trekking to the Park, partying during White Arts Week, and getting to know so many fabulous people.
There IS much more to write, yet space is disap- pearing. Best of luck to all my wonderful friends! Although we may never meet again, keep alive those terrific times that we shared. Someday, those mem- ories will mean so much.

I warily started four years ago, What would happen I did not know. The infamous Manor was my abode
back then, Where I was introduced to the "Park",
that iniquity-filled den. I experienced the hangover and other
dubious insights. There were the Long Horn, the
basketball house and Gamma-
Rammas on Thursday nights. Life even got better sophomore year, The South Street Rowdies took over
from here. Many a time we trudged down that
street. To drink and party and White Arts
feats.
The Holiday Inn and the Roost were
THE places to be, If we could manage to get in with our
fixed IDs. Junior year it was back to the Park, That place really hopped well after
dark. There were New Year's Eve, Jenni's,
Coo and Burr's, And honest, constructive studying
infrequently occurred. A bona fide South streeter to spend
my last year. It's a time filled with senioritis, job
worries and beer. The last wild carousing of ALF week is
past, The classes complete and I graduate at
last.
But the friends who shared my laughter
and tears. Are the best memories I have of these
incredible four years. Paula, Kelly, Jack, Riz and Michele, Mary Oz, Tessie and others I'll
remember you well. Everyone in my classes, I'll remember
you all too, God only knows what Gomm. majors
go through. As I look back at the past, I
nostalgically sigh, I wish you all the best and to Clarion
good-bye.

To be a native Clanonite offers the distinction of being known as a townie. Okay. I'll adnnit it. Due to our present occupation, however, you and I share a different title, that of student. Events prior to our attendance here at CUP have given a negative con- notation to that name. And it seems that there is little any of us can do to overcome the misnomer or to bridge the gap that exists between the community and the university. Now, after four years here with all of you. this townie. at least knows you for what you are- a concerned, intelligent, supportive group of young people who comprise the student body at CUP
As we have gone from freshmen to seniors. I have watched you grow So. too, have many of you watched my children grow. You have gotten to know them, have been concerned about them, and have laughed with me over antics. Someday, when you are parents, you will understand why this is some- thing for which I am grateful to you, something about yoo that I will always remember. Thank you, all
I wish you the best of what is out there in that real world about which we have heard so much. I want you to be aggressive and resilient and to show every- one what you have shown me- your concern, your strengths and your intelligence I hope you all will r>evef forget the memories we have made together -Debbie Hockman-Oglesby

Turning back the pages in the book of our lives. I found them filled with experiences and memories of the past four years. So many Changes have oc- curred — from dorm life to apartments, from CSC to CUP. our favorite night spots have gone from sub shops to local bars, friends have come and gone, plans have changed and many dreams were left be- hind while new ones were created.
Nothing lasts forever and flipping the pages back to the present I find It's time to take on new chal- lenges as we leave what has been our stepping stone to the future. Here we have established friendships, dreams, a greater awareness of who we are and a better understanding of the world around us. We can leave with a sense of pride with what we have ac- complished. But, our growing and learning do not end with this chapter. There are many more pages to be filled and it is up to us to write our future — by meeting our goals, working for our dreams, and fac- ing the challenges that life has for us. While uncer- tainties and doubts may creep in. we have the strength and courage to overcome them and carry on. We can achieve great things with enthusiasm and perserverance.
No page is to be left empty. We have left our mark here: now it is time to move on It is time to start a new chapter in what will become the book of our lives.

This book, my final book, represents three years of hard work, time, controversy, and satisfaction. I have become someone very different from the sophomore who with wide eyes took on the role as Editor. My eyes aren't as wide any more but they are much wiser. I've learned a lot about other people, the University, administration, work and myself. I've had really wonderful people stand behind me when things went rough and I wanted to throw in the towel. I've had people share my happiness when things were good. I've become friends with people because of this book and maybe enemies with a few because of it. I've really tried to do my best and I've learned sometimes the best is simply trying. I've grown up a lot here in Clarion; we all have. But more than growing up we have endured dorms and roommates, love and pain, happy hours and hangovers. My memories will always be of the good times with all of those people who have touched my stay here in Clarion.
I would especially like to thank Ms. Pat Marini, who has taught me a lot outside the classroom as well as in it. I could never fully express what an influence she has made on my life and I could never put into words what a true friend she has been to me.
To Abe Orlick our photo Rep, thank you for support in the hard times. You always made me feel I could do it. To Larry Intihar at Jostens, who helped me believe again in what a unique opportunity putting together a yearbook really is. Finally I want to tell the friends I have made how much I'll miss you. I never really expected to end up with so many memories and I never expected to have so many people care. So To- Kris, Renee, Jenni, Chuck, Swatter, Gerette, Drap, Janie, and Ku, Burr, Rich, Mikey, Car- rie, and Boo, Pam, Kay, Missy, Debbie, Tammy, Skid, Fabian, Triss and Jon and especially Lizzy- I'll miss you all so much, take care and remember to be HAPPY!
