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.

1. Yes

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.

— Brigadier General James P. McCarthy

General McCarthy earned a bachelor of science degree in journalism
from Kent State in 1957. In Washington, he oversees the programmatic,
technical, environmental, and budget requirements of the M-X program

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,

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.

— Dr. Ottavio M. Casale,

Dean, Honors and Experimental College and

Professor of English

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.

Dr. Vernon D. Neff,
Professor of Chemistry

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

Associate Professor of Physical Education and

Head Gymnastics Coach

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.

— Dr. Stanley H. Christensen,

Associate Dean, College of Special Programs

and Professor of Physics

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.

— Dr. John T. Hubbell,
Associate Professor of History

Dennis Monbarren

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.

Dr. Harris L. Dante,
Professor of Secondary Education and History

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.

Professor of Political Science

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.

Associate Professor of German

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.

Assistant Professor of Journalism

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.

Assistant Professor of Music

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?

— Dr. Benjamin Newberry,
Associate Professor of Psychology

Colin Klein

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.

— Dr. Marvin R. Koller,
Professor of Sociology

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.

Dennis Monbarren

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.

Assistant Professor of English

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.

—Neil Klingshire

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.

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. And
when you rent a house with some friends, you don't need a desk at all;
Barb Whinery, a senior majoring in community health education, can relax
and curl up on the couch amid a small jungle of plants (opposite).

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

does come. Greg Schalk, Brian Gray, and R.J. Garono, a senior biology
major, work together on a leg injury that is among the more typical of the
accidents they deal with (this page, left).

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? Cora Raver, a freshman majoring in
deaf education, begins at the beginning . . . with the card catalog
(opposite). Another student turns his back on the back issues on the
second floor (right) while somewhere within this tower of brick and glass
(above), the illusive object of the search awaits its hunters.

The Kent Student Center may easily be the
most all-purpose building on campus. While Cyndy
Hannah, a sophomore office administration
major. Tim Bowen, a junior in management
science, and Becky Armstrong, a sophomore
majoring in criminal justice, take a break
downstairs in the Rat (above), a patron of the
Music Listening Center makes use of those facilities
for some serious napping (right). The first floor
phones are always in use, as junior marketing
major Pam Echols and two friends can attest
(opposite left). And sophomore aerospace major
John Loughry puts the first floor snack bar to
its most popular use (opposite right).

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,

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).

beer.

groups.

263

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 Xi Delta

From accounting to
education, nursing to
telecommunications, each
Alpha Xi Delta is one of a kind.
Whether her interests are
swimming or field hockey,
gymnastics or tennis, each
Alpha Xi Delta contributes her
talents. Throughout the year,
members pull together to
consistently succeed in
scholastics and in KSU's annual
Greek Week. Many members
are active in honoraries and
their advisor is Dr. Casale,
dean of the Honors College.
Most important is that
everyone, no matter who she
is, makes Alpha Xi Delta a
sorority to be proud of.

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.

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.

Staff Portraits

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?
