Alumni Portraits

We thought it might be interesting to see what happens to people when they leave Kent State — and how it happens. The Alumni Association supplied us with the names and addresses of a few "notable" graduates (whom you may or may not have noticed) and we put our inquiries in the mail.

Among other things, we learned that KSU graduates are not necessarily prompt in their correspondence. We also received a variety of responses to two basic auestions:

1. Has your Kent State degree (graduate or undergraduate) or experience proven at all helpful in reaching your present position?

2. What was the first job you held after graduation? The answers have been printed as we received them.

There are, of course, graduates pumping gas and teaching first graders and working in music stores whose lives will never make an alumni bulletin. But it's reassuring, somehow, to know that there are business majors running their own businesses and history majors playing pro baseball. Educational goals can be reached or transcended. And, one way or another, there is life after college, even when college is KSU.

My first job and present job of professional baseball is fairly unrelated to my history and government degree.

Pitching to Thurman Munson and throwing to him in batting practice was invaluable because after thirteen years of pro ball I've yet to throw to a better catcher or face a tougher hitter. My Kent State memories are intertwined with the way I remember Thurman in school and the night after he died when I stood in Yankee Stadium and watched a huge crowd give him a fifteen- minute standing ovation.

— Steven Stone Steve Stone received his bachelor's degree in history in 1970. In addition to pitching for the Baltimore Orioles and starting in the 1979 All-Star game, he is a published poet, a former newspaper columnist, a former junior tennis star, a gourmet cook, and the part-owner of six Chicago-area restaurants.

2. My first job was playing organ in chapel, giving piano lessons, and serving lunch to fourth grade boys in a private school.

— Dr. Donald Erb

Donald Erb received his bachelor's degree in music from Kent State in 1950 and continued his education with a master's degree in composition from the Cleveland Instil ute of Music and a doctoral degree from Indiana University. In addition to his present teaching responsibilities as Algur H. Meadows Professor of Composition at Southern Methodist University, Erb has received grants from the Ford. Guggenheim, and Rockefeller foundations and from the Ohio Arts Council. A composer of international reputation, he has also been instrumental in the development of electronic music, collaborating for a time with Robert Moog. designer of the Moog Synthesizer. Erb was honored as Kent State's 198 1 Distinguished Alumnus on October 9, 1981, during Homecoming Week activities.

I am in a most unique profession and come in frequent contact with executives, presidents, and CEO's of Fortune 500 companies. Perhaps Pecause I am a woman in a predominantly male environment, I am invariaPly asked where I earned my degree. I am very proud to reply, "Kent State University." I am confident that my degree in Pusiness administration can compete successfully with those from Harvard, Princeton, or any other prestigious Eastern school. There was no facet of Pusiness not fully covered, from laPor relations and time and motion study to arPitration. It was a highly concentrated and technical exposure. A degree in industrial psychology was a Prand new area and here again we covered every possiPle facet of industrial testing. The faculty was excellent and eager to impart knowledge, opening our minds to the possiPilities of the future. In short, I found the KSU environment ideal to nurture the goals of the future and I've never Peen let down.

One note of humor in looking Pack: I found it extremely hard to get a start. Women were not necessarily accepted for long-term opportunities. One of the finest companies in Ohio offered me a top position in their new industrial testing department. I was offered fifty dollars

Photo by Lockheed-Georgia Company less than all the men with whom I had graduated and turned the joP down. They never counter-offered . . . just inferred that that was all a woman was worth.

Going into Pusiness for myself in 1971 was the biggest risk of all. If you look at the failure rate, the statistics aren't exactly reassuring. Moving to the East Coast really escalated my career ... I refused to accept the notion that women couldn't make it in top management positions and set my goals accordingly. My progress has taken a lot of hard work and a can-do attitude. The world doesn't come to you, you have to go to it.

— Janice K. Barden

Janice Barden was graduated from Kent State in 1949 with degrees in business administration and industrial psychology. She now serves as president of her own company, Aviation Personnel International, in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she uses interviews and psychological testing to match pilots and corporate employers.

My Kent State degree has been very helpful in reaching my present position as head football coach at the University of Arkansas. The knowledge I received at Kent State has been invaluable in progressing in my field.

My first job after graduation, however, was teaching at a grade school military academy in Chicago. It was a very long year, and one that looked like an absolute aead end. Because of the help I received at Kent State, I was awarded a graduate assistantship at Iowa, and from there my future has just been fantastic. I have always referred to my days at KSU as "fun," and have never regretted my decision to attend.

I do a lot more than just coach football, but have been blessed in that respect.

— Lou Holtz

Getting a comic strip syndicated is basically dumb luck. What can I say . . .

— Tom Batiuk

Tom Batiuk received his bachelor's degree in art history in 1969. His comic strips, Funky Winkerbean and John Darling (for which he does the drawings), are syndicated in newspapers throughout the country. In 1982, the Funky Winkerbean characters were also featured in Kent State's spring schedule of courses book.

Lou Holtz finished his degree in elementary and secondary education in 1959. In addition to his coaching at Arkansas, for which he has been named Walter Camp College Coach of the Year and the Sporting News College Coach of the Year, he plays a competitive round of golf and does a good deal of motivational speaking.

I presume the real question being asked is: did you really need an education and did it make any difference that Kent State was involved? My answer, on all counts, is a resounding yes.

Obviously, since my field is education, the educational preparation I received at both Ohio State (undergraduate) and Kent State (two graduate degrees) have been important to me and the career opportunities I have had or pursued. More importantly, the scope and quality of that education has proven to be invaluable as my career has progressed. I have been most fortunate in being able to maintain a close relationship with the University and it continues to provide experiences which broaden and enhance both my personal and professional opportunities.

I would not change any of the experiences I have had, for they are the things which have made me who I am. I particularly treasure many of my Kent State experiences as I feel a great sense of impact which those experiences have had upon my life.

The road to achievement is defined in three stages: perceiving, believing, and becoming. A Kent State

professor, Dr. Robert E. Wilson, initiated my first perceptions of obtaining a Ph.D. His belief augmented mine in the quest and I did, in fact, become. Without that individual interest and assistance, my career would have been very different. I am indebted to Dr. Wilson and others and to Kent State University for more than just a formal education.

— Dr. Robert W. Evans

Robert Evans received a master's degree in education in 1966 and completed his studies for a doctorate in educational administration in 1973. He presently serves as assistant superintendent of public education for the state of Ohio.

My education at Kent State University, not only in the classroom, but the entire academic experience, prepared me well for a career in the United States Air Force. While many facets of university life contribute to the molding of one's life, it was the personal associations with several key individuals at Kent State that had the greatest influence on my life. Most notable was Dr, George A. Bowman, president of the University at the time I was student body president. He impressed upon me a set of personal values that I still attempt to follow. Key to those values are people. The consideration of people and their needs in accomplishing objectives became the hallmark of a leadership approach that had its beginnings at Kent State.

While attending the University, I was instilled with a desire to make a lasting contribution to our society. I chose a career in the U.S. Air Force as the vehicle for that contribution. Since the beginning of my active service, I have come to respect and admire the profession of arms, not because of its inherent power to wage war, but because of its oft-forgotten ability to deter Conflict and preserve the peace.

In my present position as the Air Force special assistant

for development of the M-X missile system, I am confronted with many technical and management challenges every day. Congressional testimony in support of a two billion dollar budget for this program places a significant demand on my ability to communicate the needs of the Air Force to various congressional leaders. My ability to fulfill presidential directives relative to the program is directly related to the principles of management that I have developed over the years. In short, my ability to contribute to our nation and its security can be traced back to the values and ideals that were born out of my experience at Kent State.

Julia Walsh received her master's degree in business administration in 1945. In subsequent years, she has been the first woman accepted and graduated from the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Business, the first woman member of the American Stock Exchange, the first woman from the securities business to take a seat as a director of a stock exchange, and the first woman to chair a standing committee of the National Chamber of Commerce board of directors. Today, Mrs. Walsh is the principal owner of Julia M. Walsh and Sons and a panelist on public television's nationally syndicated Wall Street Week.

There is an oft-told tale about a comment made to a successful person, that he had been successful because of his remarkably good luck. The person replied that the comment was true and, furthermore, the harder he worked, the luckier he got.

I agree with the implication of the story, that a person makes his own luck. However, I also believe that pure, unadulterated luck can affect a person's life very significantly.

Much of my success must be attributed to the good luck I have enjoyed. First of all, my decision to attend Kent State University was a lucky one. I had no way of predicting the opportunities I would be given and the excellent preparation I would get. Upon entering college my plans were somewhat vague; I intended to prepare myself to have the option of a career outside the home, but my field was uncertain. My good luck continued; although female graduates in business administration were rare, one of my teachers, Professor Kochendorfer, persuaded me to major in international business with a minor in personnel management. Then I had the good fortune to come to the attention of Dr. K.C. Leebrick,

Photo by Image

president of KSU at the time. He selected me to represent the University at student conferences in Asheville, N.C., and Washington, D.C. There I met Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a woman I already admired. She inspired me to extend my reach and to defy conventions that restrict enterprise.

When I graduated in the spring of 1945 my luck held. I was hired by the Foreign Service Division of the State Department in Washington, D.C. My timing was perfect. After I had received a year of training and experience, I was chosen to be the personnel officer for our Munich Consulate when it was reopened in the spring of 1946. The training I received at Kent State was directly applicable.

In 1958, the death of my husband forced me to reenter the business world after ten years as a wife and mother. Because of my business training, I was able to enter the male-dominated world of the stock market with confidence that I could compete. My subsequent success in making a living, participating in some firsts for women in my field, and in establishing my own company I attribute to the start that I got at Kent State University . . . and, of course, to my own hard work.

My KSU experience was the foundation of my career as the political cartoonist for the Akron Beacon Journal.

Obviously the initial benefits are the institutional ones: the development of artistic skills as a graphic design major and broadened horizons through a solid liberal arts program.

Beyond these benefits, I include the exposure to an intellectually stimulating environment. This was intensified by the fact that it occured during the Vietnam War era, with its heightened political awareness.

Finally, the experience of working as a cartoonist for the Daily Kent Stater for more than two years proved to be a great asset. While not political in nature until after the May 4, 1970, incident, this work helped develop the format and style I would use later with my political cartoons. In

addition, this experience came at the same time I began working part-time for the Beacon Journal as a staff artist. The value of producing drawings for two newspapers at the same time cannot be overstated.

I am convinced that without the experiences I encountered while a student at Kent State, I would not be where I am today. — Chuck Ayers

Chuck Ayers was graduated from Kent State In 1971 with a degree in graphic design. In 1970 he received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for his treatment of the May 4 incident. Since graduation, Ayers has served as political cartoonist for the Akron Beacon Journal and his Daily Kent Stater cartoons have been collected by Anita and Leigh Herington in the book Chuck Takes a Look at KSU.

What were your thoughts and feelings at the moment you learned you had received a Distinguished Teaching Award?

Surprise, joy, gratitude — I guess that sums it up. I was stunned because I had pretty much abandoned any hope of ever winning such an award. After all, we have so many fine teachers at Kent and many far better than I, Besides, I haa just become Honors Dean, and I figured that that had put me on the wrong side of a gulf which exists between students and teachers on the one hand and administrators on the other.

I was elated because like most of my colleauges I aefine myself as a teacher. It's funny how so many professors — with so many demanas and rewards for other things, like publishing and administration — continue to see themselves as teachers first and foremost. I think this is so whether they are objectively poor, middling, or good at

teaching. Hardly anything else can cut so deeply as the recognition or the neglect of the thing by which one defines himself. That's why I felt like leaping three or four feet off the ground. And that's why, once I had the plaaue in hand, people had to remind me to go get my check. The gratitude part is easy to explain. Your heart goes out to students. Of course, you are grateful to the specific few over the years who cared enough to nominate you for such an honor, but you also feel the long-standing debt to all the good students you've ever had. A good class can make you teach over your head, and a bad, lethargic one can destroy your mind and morale and make you wish you were selling prunes or something, God bless all good students.

Dean, Honors and Experimental College and

My initial reaction to the announcement concerning the Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award was quite predictable. I felt both elated and honored by this recognition from my former students. In retrospect I must say that I was also somewhat surprised to receive the award. I do not regard myself as a particularly popular teacher. My discipline, physical chemistry, does not readily lend itself to popularization. It also can not be easily related to contemporary issues or the Zeitgeist. I have not studied pedagogy nor do I make use of visual or mechanical teaching aids.

Since receiving the teaching award I have asked myself, "what is good teaching?" Perhaps more to the point is the question "what is good learning?" Teaching is merely an occupation but learning can be exciting and a great satisfaction. It also requires hard work. I believe that we may be losing sight of this truism in view of the vogue for making college subjects "easier" and therefore more "appealing." At the University, good learning requires

sufficient knowledge of the subject to allow one to think independently and to have original ideas. My aim in teaching is to motivate the students to do the hard work required to achieve this level of learning, I also believe that a teacher of the sciences should be doing research. Among other things, research requires a thorough knowleqge of the discipline and of its recent advances. Students are inspired and motivated by a teacher who knows his subject well.

The aim of higher education is to transfer the best of our knowledge to the young. This is surely one of the most important functions of a civilized society. I enjoy teaching because I feel that I play a small part in this process. The honor of this award has been deeply gratifying to me, not so much as an achievement, but as recognition for doing well that which I truly enjoy.

How would you compare your coaching and teaching experiences?

After twenty-two years of coaching and teaching gymnastics at Kent State University, I can make the following observations:

The coach must display the fruits of his labor to the public. The performance of his athletes, his win-loss record, the eligibility of his team members and their academic standing, and their ability to graduate and find employment are always open for public inspection and criticism. Teaching is based on a less extensive experience with the students. You give them all you can, but you cannot personally see whether or not each passes, fails, graduates, or gets a job.

Coaching fosters the development of close ties with the team members, as the coach spends many hours working with each individual — in many cases, for a period of four years! Through the years, the coach and his athletes will share many experiences: the big win, the heartbreaking loss, the long trips, and the like. But it is through these experiences that a life-long friendship is formed between coach and athlete, a friendship that will continue after

Colin Klein

graduation and on through weddings, godchildren, baptisms, and birthdays. Unfortunately, for the most part, this is not the case with the classroom student. Time does not permit the development of deep friendships and the teacher must, therefore, deal with students on a much more impersonal level.

The technical aspects of instruction in coaching and teaching are much the same, though the means of assessing progress are somewhat different. In coaching, the athletes must perform or display the products of their training before the public. In teaching, the student may be given a written exam, a particular skill test, or he may strive purely for his own self-improvement and knowledge, but his results are not made known to the public. Despite these differing means of evaluation, the goals of teaching and coaching are one and the same: to increase the enjoyment and knowledge of an activity and to encourage appreciation of that area of endeavor

As a professor-turned-administrator, can you ever fully turn your back on teaching?

Teaching, research, public service — these three thrusts of a public university's goals also represent the diverse choices for the professional staff of a university. Each individual fits somewhere along the spectrum encompassed by these goals. The breadth of this spectrum provides some opportunities for university faculty members to explore different emphases during their careers. Through service on various committees, as assistant chairman in the department of physics, as director of summer sessions, and in talks presented to off- campus groups, I have uncovered my own interest in service not limited to the classroom.

My first love at the University has been classroom teaching and I do not intend to leave it completely. I have felt the excitement of trying to uncover new ways to present material and of occasionally discovering — in or out of class — a more versatile or more illuminating explanation. The attendant satisfaction of seeing students

"take hold" at one of these inspired moments is, I suspect, unmatched in almost any other profession.

The administrator, too, faces challenges of service. The blend of repeated chores arising on a relatively anticipated schedule plus the much less predictable problems, guestions, and special assignments combine to yield a challenging, sometimes frustrating, often rewarding job.

The faculty member and the administrator each have the common opportunity — indeed, the responsibility — to make a positive difference in the lives of others. And I believe that there exists no better background for a university administrator who is directly concerned with academic programs than the background of serving as a university faculty member. When the two areas can be combined to some degree, then one indeed may experience, at least at times, the best of both worlds.

How would you assess the current attitude of American society toward the educational system it has created?

Universal public education is America's best investment in itself. It is grounded in faith, the belief that ignorance is an impediment to the individual's right to grow. It is an avenue or approach to realizing Jefferson's natural aristocracy, one of merit, ability, and accomplishment. It is wealth- producing, hence the irony of the refusal of the people of Ohio to support it to the extent feasible.

Attacks upon public education stem from a certain meanness of spirit, notable in recent years, and from a certain lack of faith in education for all people. These attacks are, I believe, only thinly veiled attacks upon democracy itself. One must not be blind to problems within the schools and universities. But these problems are not

Chris Russell

indigenous to the idea of public education. They stem from simple lack of financial support, maladministration of resources, and from what seems to be a recurring lack of respect for teachers. Those of us who have taught at Kent State sense these circumstances, but we believe in our vocation, we are constant, we do insist that "wisdom excelleth folly, as light excelleth darkness." We know that a society that believes in education is one that truly loves its children. Public education is an attitude even more than a system. That the editors of the yearbook have chosen to acknowledge the faculty is encouraging. I hope that when you consider your years at Kent, you believe that we kept the faith in ourselves and in you.

Until recently the rise ot the American public school system had been generally regarded as a success and a significant achievement. It was unique in establishing a secondary education based less openly on class distinctions than European education and providing even more access to educational opportunity through flexible programs of higher education. It was said to be the leveler which would make upperward social mobility possible and which would aid the immigrant in adjusting to American culture. The free common school brought together all the children of all the people, teaching them to cooperate with concern for all the public good, and having as its first priority the values of a free democratic society.

In recent years, however, public education has found itself caught in the crosscurents of conflict and controversy, and attacked by groups holding opposing viewpoints. A number of revisionist historians of education have charged that the public schools have never lived up to their promise, that they have, in fact, been a purposeful, intentional failure. These critics see the public school as a bureaucratic, racist institution designed to perpetuate the class struggle by maintaining the status quo, imposing middle class values on the poor, and directing them into vocationalism, which in effect tracks

them within the school.

Other, more conservative, groups regard compulsory education as an invasion of privacy and charge that the public school has failed to preserve traditional values. Thus, the current free school movement does not refer to a tuition-free public school, but rather a school to which parents are free to send their children. It represents an anti-public school movement. Some also oppose the desegregation of the public school and seek to weaken the constitutional mandates which separate church and school.

The challenge of American public education is to provide universal education while maintaining its quality. No one should ever have to remove their children from a public school because it is an inferior school. The solution would seem to be, not to desert the public school, but indeed to correct any weaknesses and strengthen it. In this way, the public education needed to promote the core values of the society, which are rooted in the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice, will bolster and sustain the democratic political community itself.

How does the modern European education compare in kind and quality to the education currently received by students in the United States?

I was trained as a journalist and writer in Europe in an age in which European education was predominantly humanistic and the American tended to Pe more and more technical. Today the European education is rapidly becoming technical and is renouncing its humanistic bases.

During the twenty years that I have been teaching in universities, I have seen the level of university education decline. I believe that the system of secondary education is responsible for this decline; it is one that has deteriorated rapidly throughout the world, one that sends students to the university without intellectual curiosity, without cultural ambition, and "information-free."

Although Europe has the advantage of a more humanistic secondary education, more strict than the American, also in Europe secondary education has declined very much and, as a consequence, the university education is also declining. It can then be considered a universal phenomenon in the industrial world. The massive use of computers and audio-visual media makes the crisis worse because they destroy the language, the enjoyment

Dave Maxwell

of reading and writing, the sense of beauty in communication, and the individual initiative of the student. The American university, however, is more open and warmer than the European, and in it there is a closer relation between faculty and students, but this relationship is also deteriorating.

Today Poth European and American universities can be considered glorified vocational and high schools. Real university work is only developed at the graduate level. It seems to me that the lesson derived from all of this is clear: the university must re-establish a rigid system of selection, necessarily related to a more extensive program of scholarships, in order to force secondary education to get rid of its complacent mediocrity. At the same time the university must produce primary and high school teachers capable of arousing in the students their curiosity about culture and general information and their interest in foreign languages and must give them the conviction that the individual is educated for life and not for a specific profession.

Do the educational needs of black students differ from those of white students?

During the recent months there has developed a controversy over what is a fitting liberal education for university students. We often times hear that what is educationally proper for white students is by definition improper for African-American students. Although there is some truth in this premise, it is basically false. I contend that all students are not being properly educated.

Basic to the problem is the corruption of the learning process into one that trains people for jobs as if that were the entire raison d'etre of a university education. Some educational administrators invariably use the number of students who have been placed in jobs or have gone to graduate school to assess the quality of their enterprise. Since racism abounds in the United States and since the nation always seems to side with despotic regimes and denigrate democratic governments when it suits the nation's objectives, it is correct to ask what is higher education's role in setting right the ethical and moral attitudes of America's youth. For should the enterprise

continue to give short shrift to these concerns, we will continue to experience the evils of cultural solipsism, the arrogance of power, and the oppression of darker peoples for economic advantage.

Some of the courses which form the general education requirements of universities predispose students to the negatives mentioned above and perpetuate many of the unethical values which inform the nation. It would seem that all that is worthy of study and appreciation originates in either Europe or America. Little consideration is given to non-Western civilizations from which Western societies have borrowed. If this were an all white nation, which it is not, we could understand this solipsistic approach to education. The facts, however, suggest that given the large variety of non-European cultures represented in the American crucible, educators and educational institutions must revamp their curricula to stave off criticism that the entire system fails to work for African Americans.

In the 1969 film The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman was given a one-word piece of advice for his future; that word was "plastics." How would you assess the soundness of this advice in 1982?

Occasionally I ask beginning design classes two questions regarding plastic. When was plastic invented? And what is the definition of the word "plastic?" The responses usually indicate that plastic was invented in 1950 and that it can be defined as a "cheap substitute." Rarely is anyone aware that the first modern plastic, celluloid, was developed in 1869 and that "plastic" is derived from the Greek word "plastikos," which means "capable of being formed."

When I introduce this subject, I suspect I am thought to be a representative of the chemical industry. However, plastic is one of many materials which is used and must be understood in industrial design, the profession which I practice and teach. It must also be understood that the primary purpose of the designer is to solve problems objectively and innovatively. This usually results in esthetically satisfying, economical tools for living which do not intrude negatively into the environment of the user.

Colin Klein

The fact that most of the objects designed are produced in quantity makes repetition an esthetic element which must be used properly.

Sculptural forms in plastic are often viewed as solid. This is seldom true, as they usually house the functional elements of products. Solid forms are often too heavy; they may also waste material and raise production costs. These problems are conveniently solved through the use of plastic shells. The aspect of plastic that is most often seen as negative is its nonbiodegradability. Medically, however, this makes some plastics, which are inert, extremely valuable as life-saving replacement body parts.

It is extremely important for designers to learn about plastics and all other materials and to take an objective approach to all design problems. Designers must use materials and processes based on appropriateness considering positive and negative aspects. The result should be a product of value to its user, should provide economic reward to its manufacturer, and in many cases, should deserve classification as art.

What bearing do your extra-curriuclar activities have upon your performance as a teacher?

For me, directing and acting in University Theatre productions provide an interesting and rewarding experience that supplements and compliments my traditional responsibilities in the classroom.

During my nearly thirty years at Kent State, I have directed approximately two productions per year. These experiences have been both personally satisfying and an invaluable aid to the teaching of young directors. With each assignment the problems to be solved and the ideas to be explored have been unique. Over the years it has been possible to draw upon these experiences and share them with students who are undertaking their initial directing responsibilities.

Likewise, occasional opportunities to perform as an actor are invaluable to the teacher of acting. Those who are called upon to develop a believable character from the material given to them by the playwright, and to draw

upon their own limited personal experiences in order to make that character their own, are probably the most insecure of human beings. A director and teacher of acting must be able to lessen this insecurity, provide encouragement, and keep the actor moving toward his goal — a successful performance. This can best be accomplished if the one guiding has been over the same (or a similar) route himself.

As a student actor I enjoyed performing, but my richest performance experiences have come as a teacher who undertakes an occasional opportunity to perform with students and faculty colleagues. The gruelling experience of study, rehearsal, and performance are relived and I depart from each experience with a revived and renewed appreciation of the time, effort, and talent required to bring a performance to fruition.

Do you see any connection between your work as a communication scholar and your work as a blues musician?

Yes. I believe that the social sciences must not restrict themselves to studying things from the point of view of outside observers; they should strive for knowledge that accounts for the ways things appear to individuals in situations under study. This is particularly important in democratic societies, in which a primary goal of the social sciences should be increased collective — not authoritarian — control.

This means that social scientists must be able to take the point of view of the individuals they observe, and account for situations in terms that incorporate both the individual's and the outside observer's perspectives.

Dave Maxwell

This belief in the importance of the individual's point of view instructs much of the work I do as a communication researcher.

Blues music proceeds from the point of view of the individual. Many blues songs are simply an exploration of some situation as it appears to some singer, an attempt to gain or express control through first-person analysis.

My research and my music are related in that both are concerned with understanding things as they appear to the individual. I think that all the work I do is somehow concerned with this — making sense of things — either through science or through art.

Is purely electronic music, which sounds so strange and unmusical to many listeners, the popular style of the future, or will it remain the style of the initiated few?

The inventions which made possible the earliest examples of electronic music were sound storage systems which were developed early in the century but which are still well known to us today: the phonograph and the tape recorder. The tape recorder provided for not only the recording of sound for playback at a later time, but also for the transformation of recorded sound. Several instruments which actually generated electronic sounds, such as the Ondes Martenot, the Theremin, and the electronic organ, were also introduced during the first half of the century. More recent developments include the highly influential synthesizer designed by Robert Moog in the 1960's and the digitally-controlled synthesizer. (One of Moog's first synthesizers was installed in the KSU electronic music studio, where it is still in regular use.) During the last decade, electronic music has become more and more prevalent, being found in rock music, in jazz, in film music, and on television as well as in classical music. Thus, although electronic music has been with us for many years,

many people have encountered it only recently.

Study of the history of music indicates that Western music has always been in a state of change, sometimes gradual and sometimes quite rapid. The 20th century has been a period of rapid change. Many composers have found that electronic music provides the material they need to express their new musical ideas most effectively. The developments in technology have corresponded to the aesthetic changes in music.

It is evident that electronic music will not replace music produced by more traditional means. Electronic music is a new sound source, one which provides many new musical possibilities, but which does not impose its own style or aesthetic upon the composer. Electronic music has established its place in our musical life just as the strange new instrument called the piano established its place in the musical life of the late 18th century. Perhaps as the years pass more people will find the sounds of electronic music less strange, more natural and musical.

How would you, as a psychologist, explain contemporary forms of humor?

This does not seem like an earth-shaking guestion, to be sure, and it is not a guestion that psychology spenas very much effort on. With a multitude of more serious problems to worry about, the intensive study of humor might garner a truckload of Senator Proxmire's Golden Fleece Awards. However, like many former Golden Fleece Awards, an Award for the study of humor could be misplaced. Humor just might have a very serious side

What makes us laugh? Look at the comic strips, listen to comic monologues, recall your own repertoire of jokes, and (if you have the stomach for it) watch some sitcoms. Humor covers a lot of topics and, at first, there may seem to be no unifying threads. But look more closely. One theme that appears a lot is sex. Remember the TV show "Three's Company?" Much of its humor is based on sexual innunedo. Sexual exploits, misunderstandings, and put- downs are a rich source of humor.

Another source is incompetence. For some reason, it can be funny when people are portrayed as blundering, foolish, weak, or naive. A great deal of humor is of this sort.

Dennis Monbarren

Consider the misaaventures of the hapless Ziggy, the clumsiness of the Three Stooges, and the nonsense of Jerry Lewis. We enjoy ineptitude.

Ethnic jokes are a notorious source of humor that acts by degrading some group of people. We can also get amusement by documenting — or imagining — the weakness of those in power. And finally, we learn that we can get laughs by poking fun at ourselves. How many comedians make their living by this ploy? How many politicians use it to warm up a hostile audience?

Sigmund Freud suggested that much humor expresses for us in a socially acceptable way things that we cannot express directly. We can't, for example, attack those in power without great risk, but we can make fun of them. By this theory, a person's tastes in humor may tell us something about him, perhaps something he aoesn't recognize about himself. So humor can have a serious side. Of course, worrying too much about its serious side may also tell us something about ourselves. How are university professors like hippopotami?

How do you, as a sociologist, see humor being used in American society?

There are serious, sobering, and often tragic actions and reactions in American society. There is need to address these interactions and their products in thoughtful, conscientious ways. Sociologists are among those who attempt to perform in such a manner that all those affected by American society will emerge happier, healthier, more constructive and fulfilled persons. That we fall short of these ideals is understandable, but this constitutes no excuse for not even trying to reach them.

Americans have been confronted with unique circumstances in building their society. They have demonstrated all the weaknesses and strengths of humanity as they have drawn upon the world's heritages. Humor plays a major role in all this, albeit one that is, at times, forgotten by some, lost to others, and undervalued by too many. There is need to experience the joys of learning, not to be entertained but to surround the acquisition of knowledge with pleasure and not pain. Certainly there are dull, routine, and prosaic tasks to be

performed, but there are also the joys of life to be savored because they help us endure.

Humor is a fundamental means of survival. It seeks to be a social corrective so that Americans can confront realities rather than be satisfied with lip-service to proclaimed ideals. Humor enables us to see the incompleteness of our collective efforts to build a society that truly appreciates the dignity and worth of all individuals. Humor allows us to laugh, even when things go wrong, and, consequently, to move on to a brighter future. Humor is thus the social grease which allows us to slip past the grinding gears of society.

In humor, there is always a sender and a receiver. Humor, to be received as intended, requires kindred souls. Thus, humor can be used to continue to divide people or to bring them closer together. To reject humor is to signal that senders and receivers are far apart. To share laughter is to forge a strong social bond.

How did you get where you are today (wherever that may be)?

Many people spend the greater part of their lifetime seek- ing fulfillment or something they really enjoy doing. Some people never find it. Others never look, thinking it will just "happen." Some pursue a number of interests, never set- tling on any one in particular.

I was fortunate to find, very early in life, something worth all the study, struggle, and frustration it took to achieve some proficiency in it. My pursuit of a dance career began at age three and a half, and took me from local dancing school recitals in New Jersey to one of the best professional schools in the country. I attended three universities, innumer- able special courses, master classes, and conventions. I continue to take class daily, whenever possible.

I have performed and taught across the country at presti- gious academies, elementary schools, and summer camps. All of my study, academic and physical, all of the music concerts I've attended, the plays I've seen, and the galleries I've visited have contributed to my career. These are the things that have prepared me for the position I hold here at Kent.

As far as why I should single out the University as a place to practice my career, the reasons are two. The first is Universi- ty support. It gives me classroom space, rehearsal time, a theatre, and perhaps even a production budget. It also encourages research, which is, in this case, performance- related. Second, and more important, the University pro- vides me with students who are in college, for the most part, because they want to be there and not because they have to be.

College is, after all, about broadening oneself and finding a major or area of interest that is particularly meaningful to the individual. It provides one with the basic tools and pro- cesses necessary to begin and continue the pursuit of that interest.

So I've come full circle. I got here by developing the skills necessary to build a career doing something I thoroughly enjoy. In my teaching, I try to help others do the same, no matter what their interest is.

I have been asked, "How did I get to where I am today?" An obvious, albeit simplistic, answer would be "through hard work." But that would obscure the picture. Specifically, I should point out that at the age of fourteen (and please don't ask me how) I took the initiative to compose for myself a philosophy of life: namely, everything that happens to me happens for the better, although at the time I may not see why.

Having endured the disappointing loss of a scholarship to Johns Hopkins University and a junior executive position with a Baltimore company, I enlisted for four years in the United States Air Force. There I learned that racism has little, if any, respect for patriotism. After being honorably discharged I pursued a future as a detective in the narcotics unit of the Baltimore City Police Department. I saw the depth and depravity to which the human spirit can sink. When I had to arrest a gentleman who held a master's degree in chemistry, I decided to see what the education which he had so debased was all about.

My foremost ambition was to teach English on the high school level. However, my color barred my entrance to certain white colleges and I remained a police officer for

another two years. I decided to reapply for admission to college when I noticed that police work was causing the animal in me to surface, and this time I was accepted to Morgan State College. The fear of failure made me work diligently and each semester found my name on the Dean's List. But more important were the few professors I met who inspired me to reach for the superlative in life and taught me the value of dedication, application, and even friendship in teaching as well as in daily experience.

Without these models and my own sound philosophy, I doubt I could have persevered through graduate school. As it was, everything happened for the better. A university scholarship which someone had declined made it possible for me to apply to the Ph.D. program in literature and the rest is history. I have reached and even surpassed my educational goal and my self-image has never been better. In the classroom, I seek to encourage and inspire students to nurture a positive self-image and to aspire to be the "best" at whatever vocation they choose.

Brage Golding, 1977-1982

What kind of a man would jump to the helm of a sinking ship? Who would trade the sunny shores of San Diego for the stormy skies of the North Coast? Perhaps a man who loved living recklessly would succump to these temptations, perhaps a thrill-seeking fool. But could these descriptions Pe applied to Dr. Brage Golding? Judging from his no-nonsense approach to running Kent State University for the last five years, one would be inclined to say no. Judging from his many accomplishments and the proPlems he has chosen to face, however, one would admit that President Golding has lived life with the energy of a man who wants to change the world.

He was born in Chicago in 1920. Young Brage Golding attended the Oak Park/River Township High School outside Chicago until he entered the Purdue School of Chemical Engineering in 1938. Returning to Chicago to work on his master's degree, President Golding was called to active auty from advanced ROTC training the night he was to Pe married . . . DecemPer 7, 1941. Four and one half years later he returned from overseas to earn his doctorate, After working as the head of research for an industrial finishing corporation for eleven years, Dr. Golding was invited back to his alma mater as the dean of the Chemical Engineering school. In 1966 he was asked to be the first president of the then infant Wright State University.

Dr. Golding claims that he would never have accepted the position had the school not Peen brand new. At the time, he had the naive hope that he could take the

mistakes he had seen made at other universities and correct them. He left Wright State in 1972 to serve as the president of San Diego University. Finally, in 1977, he accepted the presidency of financially failing and barely credible Kent State University.

That, then, is the story of the man who has served as the president of this University for the past five years. He is a "crisis junkie," a man happiest with a problem to solve and a world to change. He certainly changed Kent State,

When he arrived in SeptemPer of 1977, tents formed a city on the campus. They were gone in two months. Enrollment was down, the dorms were wild, and the school was broke. That was changed in three years, Dr. Golding remarks that he had dealt with student unrest both at Wright State and at San Diego and that the best method for rebuilding a auality campus is a no-nonsense, get back to class approach. He has followed this philosophy each day of his five years here,

Does it Pother him that his method of running the University has made him less than popular? Yes, it does. One man, however, could never give this University all that it asks for. What he has given us is the quality education behind our diplomas. Kent State is a name which now stands for peace in a world Pent upon self-destruction, Making this stand almost closed us. Perhaps we will someday thank the man, whom few understand, for keeping the stand alive.

Town and Campus

"When you come in," the voice said, "ask for Rebel." And I said, "Rebel ... I think I can remember that ..." So I'm going to the Kent Community Store to talk to a guy named Rebel. What in the world do I say to him? How about, "Is your name really Rebel?"

It's really his name, or at least it's what everyone, including his mother, calls him. And if I was expecting some kind of weirdo- freak, I got disappointed. What I found was a very intelligent man with a lot of very sound ideas. I was impressed — he made me look like a freak.

We talked a lot about music because anyone who spends that much time with that many records automatically qualifies as a minor authority. According to Rebel, good music pushes the limits of popular taste; it stands on its own without gimmicks or hooks. A good album is one he doesn't like the first time he hears it. When I asked him for specifics, he was ready. Among his favoite artists are Miles Davis and John Coltrane, whose After the Rain is the most beautiful song that he has ever heard.

The Kent State students that Rebel comes in contact with have been programmed to like only what they

Photos by Dave Maxwell

hear frequently , , . good for business, but bad for music. He blames radio stations for neglecting their responsibility to teach the public to listen to music and for neglecting the folk and classical roots of the music they do play.

I was feeling pretty programmed myself at that point, so I was glad when we somehow moved on to education. Rebel left KSU somewhat short of degrees in journalism, psychology, and mathematics, which ought to appall me, but he had good reasons. He wanted an education and everyone else wanted to know what was going to be on the final. He wanted to learn to think and everyone else just wanted out. I didn't ask, but I don't think he regrets leaving school.

Rebel may have left Kent State, but he didn't leave Kent. I've always had my doubts, but he says it's a good place to live . . . lots going on with lots of space for quiet. And he credits the University for creating a strong sense of community; to Kent State graduates — and near graduates — Kent is a special place. They stick around and their pasts get mixed up in their presents and they could do worse than Rebel has done.

"It just smells too good in here," Dave said, and I had to agree. The place smelled like my house on Christmas Eve, which is about the only time my mother takes to bake. There's something extremely comforting about stepping off Main Street into a room that smells like that. And if the lady behind the counter wasn't exactly my mother, she did seem very much at home in her place of business.

Donaldine McGuffin, co-owner of the Peaceable Kingdom bakery, really is a mother. She is also a speech therapist and a teacher and, of course, a baker, but inside the shop she assumes the role of full-time businesswoman. And business will be business, even at the Peaceable Kingdom. In this case, owning your own means researching insurance policies and keeping the books and sweeping the floor in addition to making and baking ten different breads, ten kinds of cookies, and thirty kinds of cakes . . . with a minimum of help. Behind the floury hands and the apron is a very sharp lady; she has to be because even the most natural of foods don't grow on trees.

Don't be disappointed, but they grow on the standard market. It is possible, with some persistence, to buy water-packed fruit and unrefined flour wholesale. It is also

possible to find "natural" recipes in common places like cookbooks and grandma's recipe file. At this rate, who needs the Peaceable Kingdom? But something special definitely happens when the recipes and the ingredients get together. Sesame-sunflower bread, carrot cake, carob cookies . . . even all-natural wedding cakes (with fresh flower decoration) — not the kinds of things one finds on the shelves at ValuKing.

Needless to say, fame and fortune are not the major rewards of a life dedicated to the ideals of good food, good nutrition, and reasonable price. The money is enough to help the kids through school and in their careers. The working conditions are among the most pleasant available. And the advantages of being your own boss are, according to Donaldine McGuffin, compensation for the minor drawbacks.

While Dave and I were browsing and sniffing, four other customers came and went: two students, a banker, and someone's grandmother. They were obviously regulars; no one left with less than three loaves of bread. I almost felt guilty for all the times I jumped off the bus to run in for just one cookie ... but not guilty enough to stop doing it.

It was the middle of November and I hadn't been home all semester and I had a French auiz the next day and an English baoer to write and three other interviews to do ... on a college campus no one complains about pressure because everyone else is in the same boat. So I wasn't complaining and Frieda didn't know how much good she did when she stepped out from behind the counter to hug me. But I learned something from our little encounter. Now I know why everyone calls her "Mom."

Frieda Johnson has been serving in the Student Center cafeteria for eighteen years. Four years are enough to make the average student a little cynical, but time hasn't phased Frieda. And she doesn't hesitate to explain that the students, cynical or not, are what she enjoys most about her job. "Great" is her weakest description of them. When she gets excited, they tend to become "great, great, great!"

Regulars at the second floor cafeteria can understand her

enthusiasm; Frieda does seem to bring out the best in the "me generation." I have seen boys I'd be afraid to meet on campus after dark bring her flowers and candy. In return, she provides holiday treats and cheer-up cards and, for the real pity cases, a big motherly hug. She has even been known to bring students to her own home for some authentic mom- cooking. Her perennial smile probably has a lot to do with her certainty that God wants her at Kent State as badly as the students do.

It's tempting to complain to Frieda about University food, but she eats it too. And in general, she thinks it's pretty good. Her only complaint is that she can't please all her kids all of the time. I have the feeling that a lot of those kids would use the second floor cafeteria if nothing on the menu pleased them; a few minutes with "Mom" are as nourishing as a week of good, balanced meals.

Downstairs, Woodsy's looks like the kind ot music store I frequented in high school when I was still taking piano lessons and playing in the Pand. The walls are lined with instruments and cases full of sheet music and miscellaneous small essentials like guitar picks and drumsticks. Upstairs, Woodsy's looks like a little piece of the world I only see at concerts and on Wednesday nights at Filthy's. Upstairs, the walls are lined with sound equipment: mixers, amplifiers, microphones . . . things as far removed from high school band as Van Halen is from Wagner.

The difference between upstairs and downstairs illustrates part of the motivation for Woodsy's. Co-owner Paul Braden was graduated from Kent State in 1970 with a degree in business and an awareness — from experience — that popular music was changing. Braden worked his way through college, and through the local clubs and dives, playing guitar and banjo in a number of bands since disbanded but forever dear to musicians in the Kent area. Because of those bands, Braden recognized the coming of electronic music with its specialized equipment and unique demands. For nearly ten years, he has seen to it that

Woodsy's meets those demands. Another KSU business major succeeds in the cold, cruel world ... or, in this case, the world of heavy metal.

"Businessman" is probably not the most suitable title for Paul Braden. Although he calls himself a bill collector and payer, a repairman, a sometimes teacher, even a janitor, "musician" is the first thing that comes to mind, And a musician's life is not always glamorous. Woodsy's does deal with many of the popular area bands and it does have an "outside" business contracting equipment for local churches and clubs, but its co-owner spends the majority of his working time inside the shop on Water Street providing the services that help make Kent so hospitable for other musicians.

This hospitality is important to Braden. He is proud of his own raport with customers and of the general feeling of community that exists in Kent. The talent, honesty, and intelligence that he finds here have kept him away from his native Cincinnati for sixteen years. And it seems likely that if music changes again, as it is sure to do, Paul Braden will still be around making sure that Woodsy's changes with it.

When you move into Small Group, you learn (among other things) that when something breaks, "Vic" fixes it. Say, for example, that your closet door falls off, which has been known to happen. You leave a work order at the desk in the morning, you go to class, and when you come home, it's as good as new ... or at least as good as it was before. "Vic" has been there.

During my first few months at Kent State, I would have believeb anything anyone told me about "Vic." I certainly never saw him, although I felt his presence in the sturdiness of my towel racks and the efficiency of my curtain roOs. When I finally did meet Vic, I wasn't really surprised by what I found. It seems only natural that the benevolent "Mr. Fix-it" should assume a sort of father image for the Small Group residents who know him. And he can, indeed, fix about anything.

Life without Vic Magyarics is difficult to imagine for those who have come to depend upon him, but Vic has spent only two years and three months in the University's employ. For twenty-six years he served as produce manager for an

Herb Detnck A&P supermarket. He feels no nostalgia for the fresh fruit and vegetables, however. When I asked him which job he preferred, he replied, "There's no place like Small Group!" I shouia explain that his reasons are not entirely noble. Small Group dorms have only three floors and the halls, even on long wings, are notoriously short; not much walking for the local handyman. So when Vic says, "I really like my job ... I even wish I had started here earlier," it's not surprising when he adds, "... then my salary would be higher, too." When he leaves work at 4:30, Vic is a real-life father and grandfather. With children ranging in age from eleven to twenty-four, it's small wonder that the students he meets on the job seem like his own kids. After all, some are almost twenty-four . . . and some, according to Vic, act like they're eleven. Nevertheless, it's the students that make Vic's job worthwhile. After a year or so, one towel rack looks a lot like another, but he believes that his association with young people keeps him looking — and feeling — younger himself.

In the spring of my freshman year I returned an overdue library book without telling anyone that I'd returned it. That July I received a little bill for the fine my book had been amassing since April. And this year I chanced to meet the lady who called in my entire summer's spending money. By rights, she should have been at least slightly depraved — the kind of person who would enjoy picking the pockets of starving students. By realities, she was far from depraved and far more than the Library's court clerk.

Jacquie Deegan's official title is billing supervisor for the Kent State Memorial Library. She has been doing the paper work and, to some extent, taking the flack naturally attracted to her position for nine years. This is not, perhaps, the ideal job for a woman who very much enjoys students, but Jacquie doesn't complain. Fifty weeks of good, conventional work each year pay the bills for two weeks of something much more envigorating.

Jacquie's labor of labor may be a lot of work, but her labor of love is enviable. For the past nine years she has been developing her skills and collecting her credits as a freelance rock photographer for the likes of Genesis, Bill Bruford, Steve Hackett, and Tim Curry. Her pictures have appeared on album covers for Bruford and Iggy Pop and in

a number of local and British rock magazines. She has also served as the official photographer for Iggy Pop's French and American fan clubs. Not exactly the person you expected to find behind your University Library's circulation desk , . .

Rock photographers, like most musically-oriented people, have roots that they like to acknowledge. Jacquie's first concert job was for Genesis in 1973. Lead singer Peter Gabriel opened that show dressed as a bat and Jacauie has adopted his rather conspicuous motif as her own trademark and tribute to the musicians whose unparalleled enthusiasm she finds so fascinating. Anyone who can spend months on the road living on music can't, she insists, be run of the mill.

Most of Jacauie's life, however, is run of the mill. She likes it that way. The "bat lady" isn't into witchcraft or magic, although she does study wholistic medicine. And she's actually proud to be a townie. Slamming Kent is a favorite student pasttime and I have been known to participate. But the people who live and work here — both in town and on campus — seem to love it and they, after all, are the final authorities.

67

Living Off Campus

Sooner or later, most freshmen and sophomores look forward to the day when they can say they've done their time. They no longer have any obligation to Residence Services and they can head out and look for a place of their own.

Certainly life off campus has its advantages. Imagine . . . no R.A.'s screaming about loud stereos, no security guards blue-slipping you for open containers in the halls, and no escort or visitation policy. Along with your house or apartment also comes a bit more privacy. There isn't as much noise seeping through the walls, you're not dodging soccer balls or frisbees in the halls, and you usually have no problems with midnight fire alarms because someone left his toaster plugged in.

Along with the good must come the bad. There is that certain law of averages that guarantees that life won't be a bowl of cherries. Living off campus is great until you realize that rent has to be paid on a regular basis and not just when you happen to have a hundred extra bucks. Once you're out of the dorms, you even have to pay Ma Bell a service charge on top of the monthly long distance charges. It all

adds up.

One of the most difficult tasks of off-campus living is trying to keep your dwelling in a livable condition. It used to be easy to keep your dorm room clean. You simply dumped all your garbage in the laundry room or swept the dust and dirt from your floor into the hall for the maids to clean up (not a very nice practice, but an efficient one). Now, instead of one room to clean up, you have several. The living room is always a mess because no one wants to eat in the kitchen. The kitchen looks like a dump because everyone cooks, but no one has time for the dishes. And the bathroom . . . well, who wants to clean a bathroom?

Although the bad points may seem to outweigh the good points, I'll take off-campus any day. I can have parties without permits, I don't have to worry about locking my room every time I leave it, and there is plenty of room for all the comforts of a real home. Like everything else in life, living in a house is only as good as you decide to make it, but sometimes I wonder how I made it any other way.

No, dirty dishes don't naturally go away by themselves, but when you live off campus, you can reward yourself for doing them. Dawn Schulz, a senior majoring in business management finishes her chores in time for an evening of prime time television (opposite), while Barb Crow, a senior in nursing, moves from one job to another (this page, left). And whether you live on campus or off, going out is always a good incentive to get your work done, as Rae Ann DiBattiste, a senior business management major, apparently has (this page, right).

It may seem incongruous to dorm residents, but when you live off campus, you don't have to study in your bedroom. In College Towers, junior political science major Chris Covey (above) keeps his desk in the living room.

Did you or a friend of yours have trouble with a landlord this year? If you did you weren't alone. The student volunteers of COSO received almost 400 complaints this year, the most common type of complaint was that a security deposit was unfairly held. There was a complaint from a student who was charged eight dollars plus labor to replace four light bulbs. There was a complaint in which a student was charged for damages to a rug that was due to be replaced, More than one student complained that they were charged for fumigating fleas from their house when they had never kept a pet, and in one case a student checked and found that the fumigation company had no record or recollection of working on their apartment. In past years COSO has called these suspectedly regular security deposit frauds by some of the larger landlords "organized crime".

Another type of complaint that we dealt with regularly involved shoddy performance by the landlord. Four students had their heat turned off when the landlord didn't pay the bill, the same happened in two different places with the water bill. Broken appliances, which in Ohio the landlord is responsible for fixing, often weren't fixed for months. Many of these complaints fell under the authority of the Kent City Health Department and were corrected once the student finally complained to them.

One type of complaint that we could do nothing about involved students who were unwilling to follow the terms of their lease and then wanted to file a complaint. To these people we had to explain that tenants have protection under the landlord-tenant law only as long as they, the tenants, fulfill all their terms of the contract. If they do the courts will protect their property rights. If the tenant breaks the contract, no matter how "unjust" a contract, then all legal protection is gone. The moral here — read your lease carefully and if you don't understand any part of the lease, or suspect that what the landlord has promised to do isn't in the lease, write in a new clause in simple language and both you and the landlord initial it.

A fourth type of complaint centered on harrassment from the landlord. Racial discrimination, sexual harrassment, drunken and abusive landlords — these are the type of complaints least frequently followed up on because the tenant would rather move. Our advice — talk to current or past tenants before you put down a deposit.

COSO is just beginning to address problems of off-campus living other than landlord-tenant complaints. With ten volunteers we have come a long way, but balance in the landlord-tenant equation is far from achieved.

Orientation Week

Colin Klein

Orientation Week ... an entity in itself.

The opening of a brand new school year, with its introductions to the alien campus, can be as rewarding a venture as it is a pain in the neck. For a student peer instructor, it is both. This is what I endured all those weekends in April for? Oh, I enjoyed the training and the people I met, but the idea of getting up at 7:00 a.m. for a full day of workshops — on Saturday — was never too appealing. And then I was expected to find a compatible faculty advisor, the person who would help me introduce my freshmen to college life ...

Sure. I don't know quite what college life is myself. Yeah, I drink beer and cram the night before every exam, but these aspects are hardly admirable. Certainly not worth introducing to any NEW student. Besides, one picks up on the fun things soon enough.

Training taught me what was worth knowing. By May, I knew everything in the training manual. And I knew some pretty nifty get-acquainted games, too. But when I met my class I wanted twenty eager faces and I got the opposite. It was my job to sell the University to them and to get them through the first semester, if possible. I felt responsible for their FUTURES. And I was swamped

with forms: religious preference cards, math tests, Greeks, intramurals. I had to conduct tours of the city as well as the campus. I even impressed my class with a tour of TV-2. Then there was scheduling.

Scheduling is one of the major purposes of Orientation Week. Freshmen need classes, neither too few or too many. Make sure that they are allowed into the class. Make sure that none of their classes overlap. See to it that they take some requirements and sign up for the right English section. No problem. Except that some wanted to take everything. Some wanted to take nothing. I wanted to take my life.

Finally everyone had a schedule. They even had alternates . . . just in case, I must have done a pretty good job of advising, too, because there were no big disasters during registration. I did lose a few students whose required classes conflicted with our meeting time, and I was sorry to see them go. Really.

I suppose the most rewarding thing that came out of my orientation week experience was a student who thanked me and told me how enjoyable I had made her week. She could hardly wait for the rest of the semester. THE REST OF THE SEMESTER!?

WKSU

I first heard of Fresh Air in 1977. I was an experienced rock music listener and devotee of that once-progressive Cleveland station, well-known to us all, whose call letters resemPle the name of M&M's candy. Slowly that station had been moving to a more commercial sound, thus boring my hungry ears. At one time it filled a need for progressive music, and by filling that need became a success. The program switch, however, left a need unfilled.

This is where WKSU and Fresh Air entered the picture. Stumbling to the far left of my dial one evening, I found something new and different at 89.7. To the experienced Fresh Air listener, I need not explain the bliss of King Crimson, Brian Eno, and Gong without commercial interruption during those relaxing evening

hours. Since that first stumPle, I've been in love and my ears have been satisfied

Upon arriving at Kent State, I began working for the programming I held so dear. WKSU always welcomes time and help from any interested party. Today, I do public relations for the Fresh Air program between midnight and six. We've gone through some changes in programming, but progressive music must progress or fall back to the realm of those stations which bombard listeners with pimple cream commercials between every song. Within its basic format. Fresh Air continues to expose the Akron-Canton-Cleveland-Youngstown area to little-known U.S. bands and European imports, Keep your eyes and ears on us . . .

From studios deep within the Music and Speech Building . . . Good evening. Welcome to NewsWatch 2, the daily evening newscast for the students, Py the students, Monday through Friday . . . Let's go Pehind the scenes. Up to WKSU, third floor. It's mid-afternoon. The clicking and clacking of typewriters is filtering out into the hall. Enter. The newsroom. Activity reigns. "Has anyone covered . . . what's happening in sports? . . . weather? . . . cute outfit, going on air like that? ha, ha" A dull moment never exists. Some frustration at one typewriter, humor at another, productivity at a third. Some days require a few more Peads of sweat than others. Put the

5:30 and 6:30 news scripts are usually in by 4:00 . . . give or take a few minutes.

Camaraderie develops . , , in the control room between the switcher, audio, director, assistant director; in the studio between the camera people. It reveals itself through little things such as the floor person making faces at the anchor person or the sports reporter winking at the special reporter. The mistakes and bloopers are shared as are the accomplishments and words of encouragement. Sometimes it's hard to imagine TV2 as a lab for some telecom class, but that's what it is.

Volunteer Ambulance Service

As members of the KSU Volunteer Ambulance Service, we provide emergency medical care to students, faculty, and visitors on campus. We started ten years ago when a Kent State student, Jim Levine, felt a service such as ours was a necessity. Through him and others, the first ambulance service in the country to be run by students was formed. This makes us quite unique.

At the Volunteer Ambulance Service we have both an ambulance and a non-emergency vehicle. The ambulance has a crew of three people, all of whom are certified Ohio Emergency Medical Technicians. The non- emergency vehicle is a car used for transports and training newer volunteers. The ambulance averages three runs a day and the car averages five runs.

One of our greatest attributes is the training that we provide. We require ninety hours of the emergency victim

care course for EMT certification. This doesn't include the additional hours of practice, which are important because 100% is the only passing grade on the final practical exam.

The membership of the Volunteer Ambulance Service is mostly students from various majors who carry a full load of classes. All of us are volunteers with many having other jobs and belonging to other organizations. Our service is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, so we like to encourage new volunteers.

Although the work and time involved may discourage some from joining, the results are worth it. As members of the Volunteer Ambulance Service, we expect only the highest quality of care from our people. And with good leadership (Tim Clemens as coordinator and Tom Gall as chief of operations), we have accomplished this goal.

When you spend a great many virtually unrewarded hours each week looking after bruised and broken human bodies and. occasionally, touch and go human lives, do you try to stay humble or do you feel like a god? Most of us will never understand the dilemma because the only body we look after (or over) is our own. For the members of Kent State's Volunteer Ambulance Service, however, the conflict is real. So much of their volunteer time is spent on the mundane things. Sophomore journalism major Greg Schalk and freshman business major Chris Malcolm check emergency equipment in the ambulance (opposite) and in the squad room, Chris Malcolm, Tim Clemens, a senior majoring in criminal justice, and Brian Gray, a sophomore in secondary education, kill the time between runs (this page, right).

Fashion Institute

For your general information, ninety percent of New York's Fashion Institute of Design class of 1981 secured jobs in the garment industry before they were graduated. For your further information, that industry is the fourth largest in the nation. Now, before you turn back to your very practical but somewhat routine accounting and computer science, consider this . . .

Within the next three to five years, and if all goes well, Kent State University will become the second institution in the country to offer a college-level curriculum for fashion design and its affiliated professions. These affiliates include advertising, merchandising, photography, art, textile design, even packaging and labeling — a little something for almost everyone. Four years of study in this new program, currently referred to as the school of fashion design and merchandising and related museum, will lead to a bachelor of fine arts and a very good chance at all those jobs that are going to FIT graduates.

The "related museum" mentioned in the school's title is a bonus for Kent students and residents not specifically interested in fashion design or merchandising . To be located in Rockwell Hall, the museum will house a collection of period and ethnic costumes, furniture, and other pieces arranged

in historically accurate settings. The collection has obvious interest to students of art, theater, history, ethnic studies, and sociology, and roughly one third of the costumes will be available for detailed examination by design students.

The founders of the new school are Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman, the gentlemen of Seventh Avenue. In addition to their three million dollar collection, the two have donated $100,000 in seed money to get the program started. Five million more dollars are being sought both locally and nationally from private and corporate sources to augment this gift. Rodgers, a native of Newcomerstown, Ohio, has designed costumes for Broadway and Hollywood and for Jerry Silverman, Inc . , Silverman's successful ready-to- wear fashion house. Both men were made adjutant professors and will participate in the instruction of design and marketing courses.

According to KSU president Brage Golding, the Fashion Institute will be "a splendid opportunity for Kent State to be cast in a positive new light, as a major university with a difference." Sounds tempting . . . ready to change your major?

Library

The Libe . . . someone told me that it was the fourth- largest open stack library in Ohio. I'm impressed, really, and I appreciate having access to the books, but I have to admit that I seldom go above the second floor. Everyone calls it the social second floor, but I swear I go there to study; it just takes a lot more discipline than, say, the ninth floor.

I have disciplined myself not to read magazines. Writer's Digest is my downfall. I used to be able to convince myself that it could help me write papers. Wrong. In three years all Writer's Digest has helped me with is procrastination. I have also disciplined myself not to scream when I can't read magazines . . . when the one article from the one back issue that I have to have to support my thesis is going home in someone's back pocket.

I have disciplined myself not to take a window seat — at least, not every day. The Student Center plaza amazes me. If I'm inside studying, all of my friends are out there having the best time of the semester. How dare they?! I stay indignant until they all come inside to

disturb me. One drawback to the second floor is that is doesn't offer very good cover.

One semester I took a physics course that had a computer-assisted review and it was second floor heaven. Between the terminals and tape recorders I've developed an incredible sense of mastery over the mechanical mind. Machines do have minds, too. Once I had an hour before class to listen to my French tape and every single recorder insisted on playing both sides of the tape at once . . . who needs a mother? Lately, I've been doing the tapes at least a week in advance.

The best feature of the second floor is its occupants. Half of the people are foreign and the other half are football players (and then there's the blonde over by the window). No one whispers and everyone talks at once, but it doesn't matter because you can't understand what anyone's saying. The mumble combined with the buzz of the lights makes white noise that's even better than static on the radio — the perfect accompaniment to any research paper.

Even the fourth-largest open stack library in Ohio has its drawbacks and the greatest of these is this: the book is there, you know it is, but where to begin the search?

Student Center

The problem with the Student Center is that it's too big to be noticed. You almost have to pass through if you're in the vicinity — drift in a door, out a door on the other side; up the stairs, through a line. It's harder to go around than it is to cut through.

Consequently, the Student Center is underrated. It doesn't have a specific function so no one gives it a second thought. Get rid of it, however, and you eliminate at least three of the most essential places on campus. Realistically, you could live without the cafeteria and the TV lounge and the art gallery. There are other bookstores around; there are other gamerooms and snack bars and offices.

But consider this: if something happened to the Student Center and you didn't have twenty cents for a stamp, you couldn't pay your phone bill. No ticket booth, no check to Ohio Bell, no long distance, no checks period because no calling home to ask for money. And you would probably never hear from your old friends, either, because they always call instead of writing and without the Student Center, you wouldn't have a phone.

Next, get rid of the Student Center and you get rid

of its fountain. Where in the world are you going to meet your friends? You can't say "meet me at the bus stop" or "meet me in the library" because what does that mean and besides it's no fun. Nothing is more specific than "meet me at the Student Center fountain," and nothing is more refreshing than waiting there while the little splashes of water soak the back of your sweatshirt.

Finally, and most horribly, without the Student Center there would be no row of windows to lounge in front of and watch the University go by. The front of the second floor of the Student Center is the second best place on campus for a nap (next to your bed) and the first best place to look like you're studying when you aren't. It's also a very good place to find some solitude in the middle of a crowd because once you find an empty couch to sit on, no one is allowed to sit down beside you (unwritten but observed University law).

It should be obvious at this point that without the Kent Student Center, life at the University would grind to a halt. But if you need further proof, could there be an Oldies without the Rathskellar? No Oldies, no Wednesday night, the week never ends . . .

Homecoming Weekend

Dennis Monbarren

The road you choose to follow after college may very well take you far from your friends, your family, your home. Somehow, no matter where that road leads, you carry with you some part of the past you left behind. Traditions are not guickly forgotten, and perhaps that's what makes any homecoming special.

"Tradition — KSU Style" was the theme for Homecoming 1981, held the weekend of October 9-11. Homecoming itself is one of Kent State's few steady traditions; the Alumni Office simply decided this year it would be something special. Alumni Director Anita Herington was responsible for an organized program of events which drew participants from current and former Kent State classes. Among these events were an all-campus toga party, a bonfire and pep rally, the crowning of King Chris Sopko and Queen Millie DelValle, a "superstars" competition pitting alumni against students and faculty, and a Homecoming Dance featuring music by the jazz lab band and Oldies — FM.

Dennis Monbarren

A new tradition was established with the first autumn Homecoming Parade. A Saturday morning procession of floats, bands, homecoming personalities, and vintage automobiles wound its way through campus to the greetings of a nostalgic audience.

For many, the highlight of the weekend was a performance by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders during half-time of the Homecoming game. The thirty-two dancers brought excitement and controversy to their very first Ohio appearance, but only the excitement remained after the Golden Flashes raced to a 31-10 victory over Northern Illinois.

Alumni parents, students, townspeople, friends of the University ... all gathered to sort through old memories and collect new ones. They plunged into a very special Kent State Homecoming and emerged, when the weekend was over, with the feeling that they had, indeed, been welcomed back.

African Community Theatre Arts Program

Mbari Mbayo ... in Yoruba, the words mean "I know my heritage and therefore am happy." To a very great extent, black men and women in America claim a common heritage. They share images of alienation and suffering, slavery and survival, creativity and celebration accumulated during the many years and miles that separate them from their African origins. These images can be painful, but to deny them is to deny the importance — the power — of the black experience. At Kent State, this power is conserved by the African Community Theatre Arts Program.

ACTAP does not concern itself with Broadway or other more popular forms of modern theater; it does not concern itself with stereotypes. The audiences which gather in Franklin Hall's Mbari Mbayo theaters and in community centers and theaters throughout northeastern Ohio witness a drama that has grown from the long span of black history. Often this drama is ritualized, including elements of music, poetry, dance, folklore, and religion. The work of the Mbari Mbayo players is a constant labor to assert the cultural value of these elements and to educate a public generally deprived of such experiences in their appreciation.

Black drama in general makes demands of its audience; it is seldom a passive form of entertainment. Athol Fugard's Boesman and Lena, for example, requires an acauaintance with the issues and emotions of South Africa's apartheid system. El Hajj Malik, by N.R. Davidson, requires an understanding of the values and the tragedy of Malcom X. Even the dramatization of a folktale, such as Stagolee, or a musical review, such as Ebony Woman, demands an acceptance of theater which is created by and primarily for black men and women. When this theater succeeds, however, it transcends the bounds of race, becoming a fascinating study of a culture vital in its own right and vital to the quality of American culture in general.

As suggested by its title, ACTAP is very much a community effort. Artistic director Francis Dorsey finds that the men and women of the surrounding area bring an added dimension of enthusiam and experience to his productions which is difficult to find among students. The company tours freauently, and has appeared in Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and as far east as Philadelphia. In these and other towns, proceeds are often donated to such programs as Upward Bound and the Phoenix Project.

Oldies

Hey, Kent State! It's Wednesday night. Two days down, but two to go. Do you need to relax? Or blow off some steam for an hour or two? Well, you're in luck . . . it's Wednesday night and Oldies is at the Rat.

For many of us who became "Oldies regulars" during the past years, our Wednesday nights out were in an escape from the occasional pressures of classes, papers, and exams. But the tradition of KSU's Oldies night is a great deal more than that. It's people. Friends, old and new, making some memories together.

Sometimes the nights are quiet. The music is low and the tables of people converse over a beer or two. Just as often, the Rathskeller is packed to standing room only. The music blares and the dance floor is crammed with bodies moving to everything from "Shout" to "The Ballad of the Beverly Hillbillies."

Over the years, the Oldies show has attracted campus visitors to the Rat, some of them renowned personalities

like Gary Lewis and Ralph Nader. Once even Richard Nixon was seen drumming his fingers to Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Ohio" — but that was on Halloween.

While the basic core of the program remains essentially the same with music of the fifties, sixties, and seventies predominating, disc jockeys Rich Freisenhengst and Joe Matuscak tailor their show to fit the mood of the crowd by playing mostly reauests. Like the night several men requested "The Stripper" because they wanted to (and did) perform. "Zorba the Greek" has added flavor to a few toga parties. And let's face it, where else but the gym can you waltz, polka, or Charleston?

Wednesday night Oldies at the Rat . . . anything goes. But it's probably the lunacy and fun-loving spirit of fellow students (sometimes initiated and always encouraged by the often outrageous Rich and Joe) that we'll remember most.

Filmworks

Larry Boles

Independent film, experimental film, underground film, avant garde film, weird film, disgusting film, incomprehensible film . . . these are the technical and popular terms used to describe films made by a single person. The filmmaker is director, cameraman, editor, writer, sometimes set builder and actor all in one. He uses his own money and energy to make some visual cinematic statement, which he hopes will reach at least some fraction of his audience.

These films vary in content and length and are often programmed in anthology shows on Tuesday nights at Filmworks. One evening, for example, the audience was treated to a ten-minute black and white-stripe flicker-film with a Terry Riley sound track followed by an hour-long color artist-as-acrobat allegorical epic when New York filmmakers were programmed with filmmakers from California.

In 1981 Filmworks was able to bring to campus an

extensive series of films by independent artists, The top twelve hours of the Ann Arbor Film Festival were presented, as was the work of six independent filmmakers and a number of KSU students. Other major film events included a week-long science fiction festival and, of course, the usual dose of old and new European and Hollywood cult films and classics.

Many of the students and townspeople who attend Filmworks shows in Ritchie Hall suggest titles of films they would like to see in the future. These titles and the films suggested by the Filmworks members are combined to form evenings of unique and varied viewing. The dollars which customers pay at the door provide only a fraction of the cost of such programming. Additional funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Office of the Vice President.

Home . . . it's a pleasant and comfortable place to live, but most of all, home is an atmosphere of friendship, security, and love. Living in a sorority house provides a home away from home for sorority women. By sharing experiences in a common environment, sorority members grow as individuals and develop lasting, lifelong friendships.

Home for the Delta Gamma's is at 202 South Lincoln Street. Twenty-three girls actually live in the House, but all sixty members consider it home. The Delta Gamma House is the center of activity for the sorority. Chapter meetings are held on Sunday nights to dicuss business and to plan events for the semester. Past events have included building a third place float for homecoming and sponsoring the DG Tee-off. The Tee-off is a golf tournament held annually with all proceeds going towards our philanthropy, Sight Conservation and Aid to the Blind. Other activities include inviting the alumnae's children to carve pumpkins with us for Halloween and inviting our parents to several functions during Parents' Weekend. And of course there are several social events throughout the year, usually held with fraternities,

102

Colin Klein

and once a semester, we have a formal dance.

For the residents, the sorority house provides a comfortable atmosphere for studying, watching TV, or just having fun. Among the appealing features of house living are meals prepared by our cook, Pearl. Five days a week, DG's sit down to a formal dinner with our house mother, Mom Olsen. Mom O's warmth, kindness, and friendly guidance are much appreciated by the sisters living in and out of the house.

Most important are the special moments and memories that result from strong and lasting friendships. Sorority living enhances the closeness of friends and the meanings of sisterhood. A sorority house is so much more than a place to stay during the semester . . . it's a special place, a place to call home.

My typical day at the Delt House begins between eight and nine in the morning. I have no need for an alarm clock or any conventional wake up devices; my loving brothers take care of this for me. They seem to have an informal game — or should I say contest — called "Who Can Get Huey Up With The Least Amount Of Bodily Harm." To date, I've been serenaded, prodded with a spear, and physically wrestled out of bed by the maniacs. They must love the way I curse, throw shoes, and threaten their lives.

Rousted out of my sleep by my brothers, I stumble across the hall for a morning shower . . . but no hot water here. And I thought girls used a lot of water! A guick shave, a comb through the hair, and I'm out for another day in Kent (the details are purely academic).

When the daily ritual of survival at KSU is complete, I head back to the house for an evening of study and hard work. The great advantage to studying at the house is that there is always something interesting happening to keep you from studying. One Thursday evening I was studying in the living room with one of my brothers and

we counted five girls passing through to use our John and one drunken brother following them upstairs on his hands and knees . . . literally. We discussed every possible subject to avoid our books, but evenings do pass and in the end we somehow finished our work despite the disturbances.

Sometimes study discussions turn into late night bull sessions. If a brother has a problem, we all sit down and hash it out of him. Topics range from the past through the future. At times, we just tell tales. The only problem with a bull session is that once you start, you can't stop (especially with eight or ten brothers waiting in line for center stage).

But I'm strong; I can shoot the bull all night. It saves me from a brutal awakening in the morning. I can take the cold showers and I can take the tests, even after evenings of borderline studying. Living in a fraternity house has been the best thing in my life and I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything.

Handicapped Students

Chris Russell

I am a disabled transfer student from Cuyahoga Community College. I have lived with my parents for nearly twenty years. I transferred for a number of reasons, and two of them were to gain some independence and to further my studies in journalism.

Well, I'm here and on my own, but I didn't expect independence to be this rough! I'm not complaining, so don't get me wrong. I just took a lot of things that my parents did for me for granted. However, I wanted to be independent and see how much I could do for myself ... on my own.

Living away from home and being in control of your own life for the first time is a great feeling. I was never in control before. As I said earlier, there was always someone to take care of what was hard for me to do. At Kent State,

Chris Russell

handicapped student attendants try to solve that problem, but they can't all the time. The attendants that we hire are students also, and they have their own studies to keep up with. And the whole idea behind coming to school for each of us is independence. To put it another way, we have to break away from our parents and start our own lives. Determination is especially important when you are disabled. It is so easy to let someone else do the work that seems too hard . It took a lot of determination for me to come to Kent State, a lot of courage to transfer from Cuyahoga Community College, which was like a home away from home. It was especially hard to give up the security of my family and friends, but I decided that it was time to start my own life. And if I fail, there will be nobody to blame but myself.

Campus Bus Service

"Attention all passengers and drivers, it you'll please check your watches, the exact time is 6:25. " The driver of the nurse's shuttle to Akron reaches for his watch, puts his bus in gear, and oegins another day for the Campus Bus Service. In a half hour, a fleet of eighteen transit buses will follow the first on seven fixed routes and several regular charter runs, offering cheap, convenient transportation to the University and community.

The Campus Bus Service, created in 1967 to alleviate parking and traffic problems, is unique in that it employs operators and supervisors who are all KSU students. Any student without a traffic violation in the past two years is eligible to operate a full-sized transit coach and receive the best pay on campus. Those students who pass the rigorous test and fifty-hour training course become part of a tight- knit team of drivers ana supervisors and a very visible part of campus life.

In addition to the drivers, some students work under and around the buses as maintenance workers and mechanics. Students also man the CBS control room as supervisors, monitoring the buses while they are on the road. Drivers are in constant contact with the control room and may call in disruptions and accidents which require re-routing. The CBS control room also governs the movement of the Hanaicapped Student Transportation Service, which serves Kent State's disabled students.

Memories of Kent will always include the drivers and coaches of the Campus Bus Service. By the time the last campus loop driver parks his coach behind the garage at 12:30 each night, 18,000 passengers will have stepped on a bus to the drivers' friendly greetings. In the course of a year, over 31,000 passengers will take advantage of the most extensive campus transportation service in Ohio.

The Campus Bus Service is a mixed blessing. In February, anything that keeps you outside waiting is of dubious value. And anything that keeps you from walking in May is worse. If you're late for class, you can count on missing the last bus you could catch; the faster you run, the longer it waits, taunting you only to pull away from the stop just as you arrive. Understanding the schedule is a major accomplishment, and manipulating your own schedule to comply with it is harder. People have been known to swear at buses and denounce the entire system.

BUT, the advantages of CBS far outweigh the occasional inconveniences. On a rainy day or a snowy day or a day when you have five classes in a row and three books for each class, those advantages are obvious. When your mother's birthday is coming up and you're looking for something more than bookstore presents or when you need groceries and can't pay Eastway deli prices, the East and West Mains are godsends. And if you want to take a nice long vacation, there's always the mysterious North Kent route.

In addition to the obvious advantages, however, are the little bonuses you enjoy every time you get on a bus. The first

"college man" I ever fell "in love" with, for example, was a bus driver. I rode his campus loop every afternoon, and it was the high point of my day. There's just something about a man (or a woman, I suppose) in uniform . . . Even if the driver does nothing for you, you can get all the close physical contact you need for a month from your fellow passengers on a crowded bus. And if the bus isn't so crowded that you couldn't move if you wanted to, then bus surfing is one of the most challenging sports on campus. It takes a lot of courage to let go of the hand rail for the first time, especially on a stop and go campus loop or a bumpy stadium route, but the improvement in your equilibrium is worth the embarassment of your few initial stumbles.

Kent State wouldn't be Kent State without buses. Learning to live with them is as much a part of the college experience as learning to live in a dorm or to stay awake at 7:45 in the morning. And learning to cope should also leave you with two of the most important qualities you will ever develop: patience, and a well-tested sense of humor.

May 4, 1981

The years of legal controversy surrounding the May 4 tragedy have ended, but the search for an appropriate commemoration continues, and it has not been easy. Some feel that May 4 should promote the political causes of the day while others stress a more historical perspective on the 1970 events. Many prefer to forget the entire episode.

Alison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder were killed and nine others wounded by the Ohio National Guard during a demonstration protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. For many Americans, May 4 was the day the war came home. For Kent State University, the eleventh anniversary of that day was a pivotal one which may well determine the way we will view May 4 in years to come.

The May 4 Task Force, the Faculty Senate May 4 Planning Committee, and the Center for Peaceful Change worked together in 1981 to plan commemorative

activities which would be both informative and meaningful. The resulting program attracted students with a genuine desire to learn from and reflect upon the tragedy. Many of these students had already been moved by the NBC television drama "Kent State," shown in February. After the movie was aired, a spontaneous rally drew nearly 400 to the Commons where participants held hands and prayed in memory of Alison, Jeffrey, Sandra, and William.

Commemorative activities included the traditional candlelight vigil where tears flowed freely in the atmosphere of sincerity which prevailed. Students also had the opportunity to learn from a panel discussion focusing on the accuracy of the "Kent State" film. The Faculty Senate's offerings included a speech by noted anthropologist Dr. Mary Catherine Bateson and a commemorative performance of Bach's "Mass in B Minor" by the Kent State Chorale and Sinfonia.

At noon on Monday, May 4, almost 1500 sunburnt spectators gathered on the Commons to clap and sway with Neil Young's "Ohio," performed by student Ken Durr. They listened intently to keynote speaker Rev. John P. Adams of the United Methodist Church who helped raise more than $800,000 for legal battles and who stressed the importance of putting May 4 in perspective so as to learn from past experiences and mistakes. Jane Fleiss and Charley Lang, who portrayea Alison Krause and her boyfriend, Barry Levine, in "Kent State" also spoke, explaining how their lives were affected by their involvement in the movie. Two Kent State freshmen. Ward Herst and Chris Allomado, rounded out the program by discussing the implications of May 4 for today's society.

For students who were drawn to the Commons out of curiosity and for those with a sincere desire to pay respect to the four who were killed, it was a memorable afternoon. Participants and spectators alike were left with an image of a day whose significance for Kent State and the entire nation must not be forgotten.

The Numbers Band . . enough said. This year they play Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at JB's, but they have been together since 1970, attracting a following that extends well beyond the current crop of Kent students and townies. The numbers, by the way, are not a date or someone's measurements; they are a traditional lucky combination in the time-honored numbers game. The band's rhythm and blues-dominated music is available on record as well as live. Their first album, "Jimmy Bell's Still in Town," will be joined by a second release in the spring of 1982.

Downtown

There's nothing special about going out on the weekenO. On any given Saturday night, any given Kent State student is very probably downtown (unless he took his suitcase and went home). But the bars are open on weeknights, too, and they have an endless number of schemes for attracting the serious out of the library and the lazy out of the Oorms.

TuesOay night is Wet T-shirt night at the Krazy Horse Lounge. Three to five contestants compete in the five semi-final rounds for a place in the final dripoff and a grand prize of $500. The male eauivalent of this spectacle is the five-week Baa Buns contest, to be heia when the dance floor dries off.

Across the street at the Robin Hood, Wednesday night is the Hot Legs contest, in which men and women compete for a spring break vacation in Florida. At Filthy McNasty's, Wednesday is College I.D. night, ana the crowO on the floor and at the bar attests to the popularity of free admission and cheap beer.

Ray's and the Loft compete for the mellow weeknight crowd. Pizza ana chili, drink specials, and the jukebox are the only gimmicks, but they seem to be enough for fans of

Bob Sorino

a quiet evening away from the books.

And Friday night, which is really the weekend, is Happy Hour everywhere. Free popcorn and 25c pizza at the Loft, live music at the Hood, and cheap drinks everywhere get the evening off to an early start. At Filthy's, the only bar without a Happy Hour, Friday is Great White North Night in honor of Second City's Bob and Doug Mckenzie. The weekly beer-hunter contest usually sees the famous cheap drink poured on rather than in some unsuspecting victim.

Of course, there are other places to go. Students have been known to forsake downtown Kent for the more sophisticated urban nightlife of Cleveland or Akron. For those whose only transportation is provided by CBS and Nike, however, the Tree City provides a full week's worth of widely varieO and usually unpredictable nights out.

The proximity of Eastway Center's Loose Caboose gives it a home court advantage over downtown and the absence of high beer is of little concern to the complex's largely underclass residents (above) Those who make the two block's trip off campus to Filthy's on Wednesday nights can "rock to Risque," the house band lead by singer Dave Brooks (opposite page. left). And at the Loft, any night is a good night for pizza and a pitcher shared with a few good friends (opposite page, right).

The Tuesday night spectators at the Krazy Horse don't need a $500 incentive to get them up . . . boys will be boys (opposite page). And while Tuesday night is their favorite at the Horse, any night and almost any bar offers the somewhat less stimulating challenge of a game of pool (above).

The Robin Hood may be the only bar in Kent to offer the comfort of a fireplace to those who venture down on a cold winter evening (opposite page, top). At Ray's (opposite page, bottom, and above), more warmth is generated by a heated game of pinball and the favorite Moosehead beer.

All organizations which participated in the Groups section of the 1982 Chestnut Burr were automatically considered in a competition for the most creative photo. The winning shots in this competition were chosen Py Lisa Schnellinger and Gus Chan, co-editors of the 1980 Chestnut Burr. Gus is currently employed as a photographer for the Ravenna Record-Courier and does some independent work for magazines and the wire services. Lisa is a reporter for the Warren Tribune Chronicle. As previously stated, photos were judged on the general criterion of "creativity," Put each of the two winners displays a different aspect of this quality. Black Aesthetics was chosen as the first place organization because its pose expresses the concept of " artists in motion." The Kent Dance Association received the second place award for its novel use of the typical aancers' environment.

Alpha Epsilon Phi has only been at Kent State for a short time, but we've already left our mark on campus: you can't miss us in our green jackets. AEPhi offers a lot to a girl looking into sororities, including leadership abilities, self-improvement and discipline, and lifetime friendship. Our philanthropic project is the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel. In addition to this serious concern, however, we also have fun socializing with our friends, with other Greeks, and within our own group. We're small ... for now, but we're growing.

The Inter-Greek Programming Board consists of one representative from each sorority and fraternity, but is not limited to those members. I.G.P.B, meets twice a month to discuss matters of concern to the Kent State Greeks. I.G.P.B. also sponsors social, educational, cultural, and philanthropic events on campus for Greeks and the entire student body. A year's activities include involvement in the New Student Orientation Program, Homecoming, and University-wide committees. The biggest event is Greek Week, which is traditionally held in the spring and brings the Greek family together in competition and fun.

When preparing for the production of a book this size, one comes upon many dilemmas. Beyond the obvious problems of coverage and content, more subjective areas emerge. At what level should this book be done? We are a university not that different from any other, a place for higher education. Yet having reviewed other yearbooks from across the country and heard the comments of various times and places, my fears were confirmed, there is still an epidemic of visual illiteracy in the general population during an age which has seen great advancement in other fields.

Would anyone notice or care if we put together 360 pages of groups and mug shots, filling every lost inch of space? Well, I couldn't live with myself if I knew we didn't produce the best quality publication we possibly could under the circumstances. There's never enough time, but I'm satisfied

I have received my degree in art and Barb is an English major — a bit of a change for a publication with such a heavy journalistic tradition. We wanted to make reading this book a personal experience; people read enough impersonal newpapers and magazines. This, we feel is more like an autobiography by many different authors. Let's just hear what the people involved have to say for themselves, keeping their words and their personalities intact.

Each year, each class starts from the beginning ... a constant repetition. Some feel that a yearbook should reflect this repetition. But as anyone who has seen past Chestnut Burrs knows, each is a bit different from the preceding year's and each represents a constant metamorphosis. We believe that this is as it should be: maintaining the good things, borrowing here and there from the past, adding new things, creating something in its own way unique. In a university this size it's impossible to do all and see all; someone or something just as interesting always gets left out in the cold in the creating process. Something is always going to be neglected, at least temporarily.

It's been a great experience putting out a professional publication with the best photographers at Kent State (and many other places, for that matter) and such a fine staff. My personal thanks to all. And to you, the reader, I hope you've enjoyed this book as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you

This is Kent State. Now that we're all educated, let's go out and make the world a better place, shall we?
