Men's tennis claims a new victory with the Mid-Continent crown Sam Paisley This page: Senior jay johnson, the men 's tennis team's No. 1 player demonstrates intense concentration whzfe returning a volley. johnson 's record this year was 12-10. 32 /Sports A positive attitude, a sense of team closeness and a lot of experience can do much to help a team. Just ask Carl Sexton, Eastern's men's tennis coach. "We set goals for ourselves this season and we were able to obtain them by having a positive attitude," Sexton said. And I have never seen compatibility like I saw this year on this team.'' ''The guys really cared about each other and it showed when they played. Tennis is a really individual sport, but these guys made it a team sport,'' he continued. "They really encouraged each other. Because of the team closeness and the positive attitude, we knew we were going to have a good season.'' And that they did. The squad captured their firstever Association of Mid-Continent Universities championship, edging out Southwest Missouri State University for the title . ''This was our best season ever and the conference title was the icing on the cake," Sexton said. "The guys played so well and worked so hard and it paid off.'' Although the Panthers posted a winning season in 1982, including a second-place finish in the AMCU, they were slightly hampered by a lack of experience. However, experience proved to be a key factor in the success of the team this season. The Panthers had returning players at all their top singles and doubles positions, including Jay Johnson and Rob Hopkins, the Panther No. 1 and 2 players, respectively. "We had a lot of people back, which helped us tremendously," Sexton said. "It will be hard to repeat this season's performance in the spring." In addition to the team's other accomplishments, this season marked the first time in several years a top-seeded player has posted a winning record . ''Jay has been playing the No. 1 single spot for three years and this was the first time he had a winning record (12-10)," Sexton said. "That is especially good, because most of his competitors are on full scholarships and are top quality players," he continued. "We can't offer the scholarships and recruit like other schools do . So Jay is playing against highly recruited players. His winning gave our team a big boost. ''With everything that happened this season there is nothing negative that can be emphasized or said about it," he added. Everything was positive from our attitude to our record.'' -Kathy LeahyO

Women's tennis Improvement in the blueprint We are all familiar with the Renaissance. It was the time of rebirth, rebuilding, reconstruction. And reconstruction is the word that best describes Eastern's 1984 women's tennis team. Despite the incessant campaign during the spring of 1983 under former head coach Chris Perry, the team ended up failing to capture even one victory, the poorest season performance in recent years. In the spring of 1984, first-year head coach Gail Richard inherited almost the same squad that posted the disappointing 0-10 slate. "We have a young team," Richard said. "We have no seniors returning. Of the 10 team members, four are juniors, three are sophomores and three are freshman.'' However, Richard views her squad optimistically, adding that there are advantages to having a young team. One advantage is its abiliry to adjust. ''I have a philosophy of aggressive tennis,'' Richard said. ''Boldly charging the net instead of slipshod vollies from the baseline. I also want to see a stinging first serve over the net, in contrast to a timid serve that an opponent converts into a point. I think the girls can adjust." Apparently, Richard's new style of tennis has boosted the team. During its 1983 fall campaign the squad compiled a 4-2 slate. It appears that improvement is on the horizon, but Richard is a realist. 'T m expecting a sixth place finish in a conference of 10 teams," Richard said. "We should be more competitive in the conference within the next rwo years." One of the main reasons the team will not immediately be able to compete with the top teams in the league is a lack of funds. "We are not well-funded," Richard said. "There are not many full athletic scholarships available for women's tennis. If a player makes the team it is only possible to give them partial aid." - Dobie Holland 0 This page: Sophomore Patti Kerns practices in the spring of 1983 for the women 's tennis team.

'' - Graduating senior forward Tim Dykstra at the end of the 1982-83 Panther basketball season. Dykstra's prediction could become reality when the '84-85 men's basketall campaign rolls around because the bulk of last year's squad will still be playing in Lantz Gym next year. In the meantime, Eastern's 1983-84 crop of young roundballers was fine-tuning its performances as each Panther was getting adjusted to the playing habits of each other, while shooting to better last year's 13-18 overall record and 8-4 second-place finish in the Association of Mid-Continent Universities' conference . "Overall, I think you'll see some great things happen with this program in the future. Most of the guys we had last year are playing this year, and they will be returning next year. So, we should have some exciting times ahead of us," four-year Panther head coach Rick Samuels said. Exciting indeed. And while Eastern's basketball future looks rosy, the recent past has not been too thorny. After 17 games in the '83-84 campaign , the Panthers chalked up an 8-9 overall record and a 3-4 mark in the AMCU. But Eastern's record at that point was misleading. It certainly did not give an accurate picture of the Panther's thrilling, heart-stopping brand of play. Ten of the Panthers' 17 games were decided by margins of six points or less, with three contests going into overtime play. In a sense, Eastern had adopted its successful style of play during the second half of the '82-83 season and carried it over to the second half of '83-84 games. Last year, the Panthers lost their first 12 games and turned a potentially horrendous season around by winning 13 of their last 19 contests. Led by seniors Dykstra and most valuable player Kevin Jones, who combined for 27 of Eastern's 73 points-per-game average, the Panthers put together winning streaks of six and five games each to finish the season with respectability. Last year's second-half season success emulates this year's second-half game success. In most of the Panthers' 17 games, Samuels' squad got off to a slow start and usually trailed when the first-half buzzer sounded. But Eastern would consistently turn in an outstanding and exciting second-half performance. Almost all of the Panthers' nine losses, including overtime defeats to Ball State, Montana State and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, were the result of

keep finishing strong sluggish first-half play, Samuels said. After dropping a 65-60 decision to conference foe Northern Iowa, Samuels said, "I can't figure our team out. You can't dig yourself a hole and expect to win on the road. We played another excellent second half, but we just dug ourselves a big hole.'' Taking the game by halves, Northern Iowa led 36- 22 after the first stanza. The Panthers posted a 38-29 advantage in the second frame . It was typical Eastern. But while the poor early starts cost the Panthers some games, their second-half spurts catapulted them to victories also. Trailing by a point at the half against an average Valparaiso University unit, the Panthers exploded late in the second half to post a 58-52 victory behind Northern Illinois transfer Jon Collins. Collins, a crafty, consistent 6-4 foward from East St. Louis, was the Panthers' scoring machine, pumping in 21 against Valparaiso and averaging close to 19 points for the first 17 outings of the season. His 31 points, a career high, against Cleveland State in Ohio propelled the Panthers to a thrilling 67-66 victory. Collins transferred to Eastern in 1982 and had to sit out the '82-83 season due to eligibility regulations. But he practiced with the team and instantly won Samuels' respect. "He's a very knowledgeable player and he'll give us a consistent performance each time out. He's deceptively quick and has the shooting range to force people to play him honestly,'' Samuels said admiringly. Collins' role during the '83-84 season was basically the same role that MVP Kevin Jones played during the '82-83 season. The gutsy 6-3 forward from Indianapolis averaged 17.2 points a game and led the squad in assists with 105. Jones was the first and only Panther named to the AMCU conference's first team at the end of the season. Besides Collins, other '82-83 starters who returned this year and will return next season include guard Tim Wyss and 6-11 center Kevin "The Duck" Duckworth. Eastern will also benefit from the services of guards Vincent Smelter, who was forced to sit out last season, and Troy Richardson, a transfer from North Dakota State in 1982. The Panthers, who competed in their second season of the new AMCU, played six of their first seven conference contests on the road and still managed to win three, against Cleveland State, Valparaiso and Wisconsin-Green Bay. Although Illinois-Chicago (6-2) and Northern Iowa (5-2) were leading the conference race, Eastern would play six of its last seven AMCU contests in the friendly confines of Lantz Gym. The Panthers never lost at home last year after their 0-12 opening stint and dropped only one contest at home this year. The impressive home record prompted some Samuels optimism. 'T m still confident this team can finish with a flourish. A lot can change particularly in regard to us because we now have so many games at home while Illinois-Chicago goes on the road for five of its last six games and Northern Iowa has four games left on the road. I certainly believe we're still in the chase," he predicted. - Steve BinderD Sports/ 35

Women's Basketball Earning respect in conference junior Toni Collins was forward for the women's basketball team. She was interviewed on Feb. 3 during the team's 1983-84 season. Last year was our first year in Division I. We were really excited and the team finished fourth in the Gateway Conference. That wasn 't too bad. We gained some respect in the 10-team conference. We opened a few eyes of conference teams that had looked right past us. We surprised ourselves too; we were pretty young. The team was coming from Division II where we were nationally ranked all along. We thought we were a big fish in a little pond and now we're just a Sam Paisley little fish in a big pond. Coach Bobbie Hilke was really optimistic about all of it and told us we were just as good as any of the other Division I schools. Last year our goal was 20 wins and we made it. We always go for a 20-game season. I think Coach Hilke's always made that since she's been at Eastern. This year we want to win those games, and also hang on to and keep gaining respect of the conference teams. We lost three good players- Nancy Kassebaum, Cathy Blanford and Kelly Waldrup. But we came into this year with a really positive outlook. I picked us to be third and we're in second right now. I never set personal goals. I just try and tell myself that whatever the team needs I' II work my hardest to do that. I think it's going to take some tough play all around and consistency to keep that spot. Our goal is to win. Whatever it takes, everybody's going to contribute their part. Since there's no superstars, we all pull together; we've always been a close team. I think that's one of the reasons why we Win . We have a special friendship between all of us. More than anything, I'll remember the good friendships I made on the team. - Interview by Hart Gately 0 Opposite page: Sue Hynd (25) and Stacy Cook (14) battle for a rebound against Northern Iowa.

Rough start for the grapplers A young team, a first-yeat coach and a rash of injuries led to a rough eatly-season start for Eastern's wrestling team. The Panthers, under the direction of head coach Ralph McCausland, entered the 1983-84 lacking experience, mainly due to the fact the majority of the team consisted of freshmen and sophomores. In all, over three-quarters of the team was underclassmen . "We were out-experienced a lot of the time, " McCausland said. "A lot of the teams we've faced have had the experience and with us having six sophomores in the starting lineup, we don 't have as much experience yet.'' In addition, it was McCausland's initial season at the Panther helm. McCausland, a former NCAA Division II national champion at Eastern, assumed the coaching duties when Ron Clinton took the head coaching position at the University of Illinois. ''This first yeat has been a tremendous learning experience," McCausland said. "There's no pressure , just a lot of pride in keeping up the tradition that Coach Clinton has set for this program.'' McCausland was forced to work with a less than healthy lineup through much of the early season. Senior standout Dan Sanko {177 pounds) was unable to wrestle until mid-way into the season due to injury, which hurt the Panthers. But the problems did not stop with Sanko's injury. Injuries to Pat Flynn, Chris McFarland, Tom Vickers and Don Rowden hung a dark cloud over the young Panthers. Despite the injuries and an inexperienced lineup , the Panthers posted some impressive showings. Eastern opened the season with a very strong showing in the nine-team Michigan State Invitational, notching a second-place finish with McFarland {150 38/Sports pounds) nabbing a first place for Eastern. The Panthers continued to show well in the open tournaments as they came through with a good performance in the non-scoring Illinois Open. The meet included over 33 teams, all from Illinois, and showcased some of the state's top wrestlers. But once the dual season began, the Panthers had eatly problems, getting off to an 0-2-1 start. That all changed though, when the Panthers won back-to-back home dual meets in less than 24 hours over Northern Illinois University and Central Missouri State University. Eastern knocked off Northern 22-20 and came back the next day to down Central Missouri 26-19 and even their season record. Five Panther wrestlers were double winners that weekend. Bernie Ruettiger {142), brother Mark (134), McFarland, Sanko and heavyweight Duane Clark all posted double wins. The victory sweep seemed to have a positive result on the Panthers as they won their next dual meet over Southwest Missouri State University, 26-13 . In addition, the experience the Panthers were gaining started to show as they nabbed a fourth-place showing in the 14-team Southwest Missouri State tournament and came back to take third at the University of Miami-Ohio's 14-team Redskin Open. "You can just see the improvement in our young kids," McCausland said. "Each week they're gaining more confidence and becoming more aggresive.'' "I don't really think of this season as a rebuilding one. We ate young and will continue to improve as we go," he added. "We've wrestled with a lot of pride and desire and I hope in continues into next season.'' -Jeff LongO

Swimmers Shaved heads help psyche-up men's squad For some athletes getting mentally prepared for athletic competition involves running laps around a track. For others it is the entire team huddling together, chanting and jumping. However, Eastern's men's swimming team only gets together once a season as an entire unit to psyche themselves up. Senior Greg Lanchester explains, "We don't bop up and down and say anything special at every meet- we shave our heads at the Midwest Championships." "Everyone goes to Midwest with hair, thinking that they are going to keep it. When we leave nobody has their hair," he said. "We all go in a room and Ray (Padovan) starts to shave our heads. We all yell and scream and psyche ourselves," Lanchester added. "By the time we get there the pressure is so unbelievable.'' "For swimming it is like in Rocky III. You have to have the 'Eye of the Tiger.' especially if you want to win," he explained. Senior diver Mike Schulewitz explained that '' diving is 90 percent mental. You have to be mentally strong. It takes a lot of mental preparation. It takes a lot out of you. "You can't take any time off because it is like for every step forward you take three steps back, " he added. Pressure on the men's team is even greater this season because the squad is expected to put together one of their finest seasons ever. In addition, they are trying to deal with a lack of recruiting power, which has become a major problem for the team. ''As it is right now this right now this could be one of the best seasons Ray has had," Lanchester noted. "It is our year to shine. We are really wellbalanced and we are excellent in the distance such as the 500-, 1,000- and 1,650-yard freestyle," he said. ''That is our strongest. Our weakest area is probably in the fly (butterfly). "Our biggest goal is to win the Midwest. I don't really know if that is realistic, but that is our ultimate goal," Lanchester noted. "Our second goal is to win the conference, " he added. "We haven't done that for two years. I think we can do it.'' "It is our year to do well since we don't have any recruits coming in next year. It has had an affect. We don't have any new people except for two freshmen," he said. "We had a really tough time competing against Bradley Universiry, who still has 40/Sports scholarships.'' Schulewitz speculated that ''within a few years the swimming program will be non-exsistant. It will become a club and then eventually will be cut totall y. " ''There is no way you can recruit quality people without funds. Any schools that offers money is going to be looked at over us. Without funds qualiry people will look elsewhere," he added. The pressure of achieving excellence is even greater for Eastern's divers who no longer have a diving coach. Schulewitz said, ''Not having a coach has presented a lot of problems. Most of the time the divers don't have the time to help each other. "It is hard for the divers because the swimmers have a variery in their workouts," he added. " We have to work on the same things and sometimes we really don't understand what we are doing wrong without a coach to help. It gets frustrating .'' - Crystal SchrofD This page: Senior diver Mike Schulewitz tucks in for a dive at the Lantz pool.

Michael Sitarz Women try to keep long-range goals in sight When goals are to be achieved seven months away it is easy to lose sight of them. Every day practice, homework and more practice is faced. The stress starts to build and practices get long. Day after day, lap after lap the goals of competing at the Midwest Championship and Gateway Conference meets became more realistic for Eastern's women's swimming team. However, dealing with the pressure and stress of a year-round season can drain swimmers mentally and make them lose sight of their goals. ''You have to keep talking about Midwest. You have to keep you goal in sight. If you don't you'll go crazy," junior Jamie Pistorio said. Senior Dawn Buczkowski added, "It is at Midwest where you see if the extra-work paid-off, how much more it helped. You keep thinking a couple more practices may help you beat them and you hope they dido' t work as hard. " Buczkowski said, ''Sometimes in practice you have to let loose, you yell and scream. It is just a way of dealing with the pressure." Senior Tammy Baker noted, ''It comes down to the last meet of the season- doing well at Midwest.'' ''You get uptight and tired. When you get in the water it lets off the stress. You can pound away at the water as much as you want- it doesn't care," Baker added. ''You have got to be mentally tough as well as physically if you want to compete. There is some natural talent but after seven months of practicing it is easy to burn out," Baker said. The months of practice and sacrifice begin to pay off for the team when they begin their regular season in November. Buczkowski explained that ''when we start practicing it is two and a half months before our first meet. It seems like a lot of time but then you find it isn't enough.'' Pistorio said, "You can't wait for a meet, you need to see where you are at with your training. All of a sudden you ask 'where did the time go?"' Baker noted that "when you're at a meet, the team gets you going. You see someone swim well and that sets you off.' ' Pistorio added that ''the last race you pull together, everyone wants top performances. " Although the women's swimming team is dedicated to Eastern's program, they are concerned about the future of the program because of the elimination of swimming scholarship funds. Pistorio said "because of last year's scholarship cuts we only had three girls walk-on. Some came for Ray (Padovan). Next year hopefully we will get a lot of walk-ons.' ' Buczkowski added, "We have good quality but we don't have a lot of quanity. We are not getting new people because we can't recruit." "We don't have as many overnight meets as we used to. Ray is watching the money carefully," Buczkowski said. " We aren't doing as good as we have other years," she continued. "It's hard when you don't have the money. We don't mean to feel sorry for ourselves." "We go out there and do it for Ray," she added. ''The scholarships have had some affects on us and Ray. He has spent his whole life coaching and they are slowing taking it away from him.'' - Crystal SchrofD Sports/41

'Best team ever' stuns Panther hooters shunned in pre-season polls When Eastern's soccer team began its 1983 season in mid-August in the heat and humidity of a Colorado training camp, Panther head coach Schellas Hyndman said he was not quite sure how good his team was. ''I knew we had a lot of talented players, but I wasn't sure how we would develop as a team," Hyndman said. However, the Panther mentor quickly discovered by the end of training camp "a lot of talented players" had emerged as a team. The hooters also set the ultimate goal for themselves- a national championship. "We left for Colorado as bunch of individuals, but came back as a team," Panther standout Damien Kelly said. While the Panthers considered themselves legitimate contenders for a national title, many of the so-called ''soccer experts' ' did not; Eastern was absent from most pre-season polls. However, after the Panthers opened the season with an unblemished five game homestand - outscoring the opposition 18-2- Eastern started to gain national recognition. Offensively, the Panthers found expected leadership from co-captains Agyeman Prempeh and Kelly. The duo received added help with the emergence of leading scorer Neil Swindells and newcomer Mark Francis. Defensively, veterans Randy DeRousse and Albert Adade were complimented by a pair of freshmen Kevin Kyle and Greg Mellor. All helped goalie Eric Hartman post 10 shutouts. "I didn't expect the freshmen to come in and produce like they did," Hyndman said. "About a third of the way through the season I realized we were a national caliber team." Hyndman was not alone in his assessment. The Panthers peaked as the No. 3 team in the nation in mid-October with a 9-0 record. Despite a travel fund controversy, the team took its perfect record (by van) into Texas for games with North Texas State University and Southern Methodist University. In Texas, the Panthers gained some revenge by dominating a North Texas State team which eliminated the hooters from the playoffs in 1982.

Despite the setback Hyndman and company bounced back as they won their five remaining games - including a 3-0 blanking of the hooters' rival St. Louis University. The win over the Billikens earned Eastern an undisputed No. 1 ranking in the Midwest. With a No. 1 ranking and best regular season record ever in tow, Eastern headed into its third straight NCAA post-season tournament as the top seed.

pollsters but surge to playoffs After a first-round bye, the team faced St. Louis in the Midwest regional championship. In the regional final the Panthers were forced to battle both poor field conditions and an improved Billiken team. Sadly, for the second and final time in 1983 the hooters were defeated. For Hyndman and his team the end came too soon, ''These guys really deserved further NCAA playoff games," Hyndman said. "This was and probably will be the best team I'll ever coach.

lntramurals .·good competition, a good time junior Paul Henrikson has been involved in Eastern's intramural basketball program since his freshman year. This year played in the B-league of basketball. I joined the intramural basketball team my freshman year mainly so I could stay in shape. I also joined because I like to play basketball and love competition. In high school, I played tennis and basketball. I enjoyed both sports but tennis just doesn't have the same amount of competition that basketball does. I love the competition in intramurals; the competition makes me play better. The other people that play just don't compete because they like it, they play because they want to win-that's what competition is all about. I enjoy winning, I think most people do. But intramurals is also a time for good friends to get together to play a good game. When you play a game with a group of friends the spirit of competition is most intense. lntramurals seem to be a continuation of the same kind of games I played in high school with friends. I've always enjoyed a good game with friends; intramurals gives everyone the chance to play. I play with just about the same group on my team that I started with my freshman year. For the past two years we've finished with the same record, but this year we're doing better. Both years that we played in the C-league, we lost 48/Sports the first two games, won the next two and then lost the last one in a very close game. Once we lost in double overtime, it was a pretty tough loss to swallow. The other time we lost by two points. This year we moved up to the B-leag.ue and we've won both of our games. It's a nice surprise. In our first game though, I hurt my ankle and its pretty black and blue now and I don't want to play on it. I think it will get better before the season ends. I don't find I have to sacrifice much time to play, or at least it dosen' t seem like a sacrifice because I enjoy it. The way the time slots are set up to play makes it easier to work playing time into my schedule . We usually play in the evenings and that takes some pressure off of studying. I think the intramural program at Eastern is a great one. It really gives you a chance to get to know people, keep in shape and take time out of a busy schedule to do something you enjoy. No matter what sport you like, you should make the time to get involved in intramurals. - Interview by Amy Zurawski D This page: Eastern physics instructor Btl/ Franz makes a stretch for the ball to beat sophomore Pete Trainor to the base during the summer softball intramural program.

Recruit looks for more than the advantages of basketball Freshman guard Pat Hamtlton was recruited by Eastern's women 's basketball coach Bobbie Htlke for 1983-84 season. Hamtlton averaged 18.8 points a game as a senior at Decatur Eisenhower, shooting 60 percent from the field. Deciding where to play college basketball can be very difficult. Several teams scouted me during my senior season at Decatur Eisenhower including DePaul, the University of Illinois, Illinois State University and Eastern. When it came down to making the final decision , I thought about a lot of things. It was hard to remember the different schools and those people who talked to me about their basketball program, what they offered classwise and showing me their campus. But I had it narrowed down to Eastern and Illinois State. Several things played a part in my decision to come to Eastern . Eastern was not like the other schools. The school is a nice size, not too big like Illinois State is. They also have a good physical education program which is what I plan on majoring in . And I was very impressed with Coach Hilke. She was honest with me, she made me comfortable and after talking to her I just knew it was right to come here. It was just a feeling I had . The problem with bigger schools, like Illinois State, is that you don't get playing time as a freshman. The older players always play because they have one or more years of experience and they are familiar with the coach's system. I know the older players here at Eastern will probably start, which is logical, but I know I have a better chance at getting some playing time here . 52/Sports It's not so much a starting position that I wanted anyway. I want to be able to contribute when I'm in the game . College ball is so much more teamoriented and I like that. When I was in high school everyone on the team was really out for themselves. I feel like I'm part of a family here . I never really played basketball until I came here. In high school we only had one defense. Here you learn different kinds of defense and you have to learn how to hustle more on defense. My feet are too slow. Offense is much different too. In high school, we ran a fast-break offense. Here I'm learning how to take the ball down , set-up and plan the shot. We have a quick team here like we had in high school, but here we control our game . · The girls on the team have made my adjustment to college basketball a lot easier. They are always there to help me. I don't feel out of place at all. As long as I give 100 percent in practice and during a game, I'm satisfied. I don't feel any pressure as long as I know I've done the best I can. That's why I have no doubts about coming here. -Interview by Kathy LeahyO Opposite page: Freshman basketball recruit Pat Hamtlton attempts to block a pass by an opponent in a close game on Eastern's home court.

World class athletes fight with internal, external problems For two Eastern students, the dream of making it to the Olympics is or may soon become a reality . But it didn't happen overnight. For junior Miguel Carrion his dream of becoming an Olympic swimmer started in Ecuador 13 years ago. At that time, he began setting goals for himself. "I wanted to be the best swimmer at our club. And when I accomplished that then it was the state and the country which brought me to want to make the Olympic swim team," he said. With the hopes of being an Olympic contender in his mind early in life, Carrion expressed enthusiasm about training for the games. ''The idea that I am training for the Olympics is wonderful. It is like something burning inside me that keeps me going," he said . "I enjoy setting high standards because there is always something higher to work for." The 20-year-old swimmer has been studying and training at Eastern for the past two years. When Carrion first came to the United States he went to Southern Illinois University-Carbondale for a summer to learn English. " My coach in Ecuador told me that this (Eastern) would be a good place to train. The other choices of places to study were too hot," Carrion said . 54 /Sports "Swimming has taken me everywhere in the world. But this is the only place where I could both study and swim." During his years of training, Carrion has taken pride in setting high goals, but he believes keeping the situation in the correct perspective is important. Planning things too far ahead can be a setback, he said. ''The only goal I have right now is to be in the Olympics," Carrion said . "Because if you have it in your mind that you have already made the Olympic team, then you will start planning ahead of yourself. And that's where people mess themselves up." Keeping the future in perspective is especially important for Carrion and his team members because political actions have made their future uncertain . Political sanction has excluded the Ecuador swim team from all international games including the Pan American games. Carrion said the team may be excluded from the Olympics as well. "It does not stop me from training even though there is a chance that the swim team might still be sanctioned when the Olympics come around ," he said.

Carrion's Olympic future may be uncertain , but for Charleston native Curt White, his dream of making the 1984 games has come true. White, a sophomore, is a member of the U .S. Olympic weight-lifting team for the 1984 games in Los Angeles. White began lifting when he was nine-years-old and has been competing since he was 14. He said he chose lifting because he was "too short for basketball." White describes himself as a shy person. However, it is his shy personality that played an important part in his deciding to lift weights because one does not compete as a team member, he said. "I chose Olympic lifting because it is an individual sport. ''Another reason I like lifting is the traveling involved. I've been traveling since I was 14 years old. I've been all over the U.S. and Europe." White's training program includes lifting four times a week for about two hours. In addition, White runs sprints and jumps rope for an hour each day, five days a week. While Olympic contenders are working their bodies to capacity during preparation for the games, the most commom affliction they may develop may not be fatigue. "Olympic Syndrome" is a disease which has one symptom- ego inflation. The disease may affect many participants, but White doesn't feel susceptible to it. "My biggest fear is to become an egotistical person because of all the attention I'm getting," the 21- year-old blue-eyed blond said. "Because of that I think that I an almost just the opposite." Although the sight of muscle-bound men is often enough to intimidate almost anyone, White insists there is no reason to feel that way about him. ''I've never even been in a fight my whole life," he said .

Student life Entry 03: Student life is always trendy. For me, trendy meant drinking, wearing brightly colored clothes and turning off the radio when Quiet Riot screamed, ' 'Cum on feel h . ' ' r-~------....l.....------.,..-;--.,..------.,..-:--:-1-----. t e nmze ... For other people, eating at Hardees, starting 4 o'clock club at 2 p.m., watching the MTV and whatever else was in the College Papers of ROLLING STONE were the in things. We lacked the kick that the college students of the '60s and '70s had according to everything we read. There was less conforming to nonconformity and all too often little to no reaction on issues that changed our lives. I still saw the ripped up army jackets but now the only statement was style. We had something different though, we were -';· • I the attractive age. Soap operas and magazines were '----l.' __.:._' -----r----------------' constantly looking at our generation with admiring and sometimes critical eyes. They wanted to be us again; only they would do it right. It just seemed that student life in college is not all that it is hyped up to be. I was concerned about going out and having fun, not sitting-in and facing the possibility of boredom. Nonetheless, trends were kept in fashion ; girls wore mini-skirts, avant-garde earrings and leather pants. Better them than me. My big style move was to buy a light blue dress shirt with the white collar and a purple sweater. Narrow seemed to be in too. There were narrow collars, ties, lapels, slacks and bodies. My wall seemed alone in lacking a cheesecake or beefcake calendar. I swear there were more for girls than guys this year. I finally tried one of the all-time college staples. Speed, I found , is not the way. It helped my studying but did little when it wore off during my second final. It was partly my fault. I blew off studying to enjoy another college tradition. After two papers and one early final, I deserved a road trip. Once in Champaign, we made a stop at Record Swap before logging into the bars for the day. Piling five extra people into my brother's apartment, we took refuge for the night before going back to face the pressures of college life.

Youa reshman? Trying to adjust to a new way of life Riding down Interstate 57, I saw the sign. It told my family and I that we were finally approaching Charleston. Anticipation set in. Either that, or muscle cramps from riding in the car four straight hours with boxes falling on me and hangers stabbing me in the back. I was moving in, for the first time . I was about to become a college student. My Mom rambled on about all the things she wanted me to do during the first few days of school, but I paid no attention to her. At the time, many other things were going through my mind. What would my room, my roommate , my social life , and the food be like. My Mom was acting like she was sending me off to summer camp . I was worrying about the next four years of my life . We drove into Pemberton Hall's parking lot at 8 a.m. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and prepared myself to unload the usual belongings that students bring to college with them. However, when I approached the front desk with my $10 activity fee clutched in my sweaty little hand, a bright pink sign caught my eye. It read, "building closed for student check-ins until noon." In a zombie-like state, I moped back to the car. When noon rolled around, I was first in line for check-ins. I felt really confident until an upperclassman approached me and said, ''I see you 're a freshman." My cover was blown already. I wonder what gave me away. Maybe it was my plaid shorts, red Izod and Sperry Topsiders. Or just maybe it was that I was first in line . The check-in process was long, but I finally made it to my room. I was expecting a large room with great decor but much to my surprise when I opened the door I found a room half the size of the one I had ~t home. One wall had a hole the size of a fist. The paint on the other walls was peeling. I was wondering how I was going to live in a room this small and, at the same time , have a roommate . The last thing I wanted to do was complain while my Mom and Dad were still here . After all, they are paying and I did choose this residence hall . But why did I pick the one without central air conditioning? 58! Student Life A few hours later, when I was semi-settled in, I decided an empty garbage can probably would help the sad appearance of the room. I proceeded to pick up the can and walk down the stairs to make my deposit in the dumpsters that graced my window's view. People were giggling, seemingly at me, as I walked down the stairs with my garbage. I didn't see what was so funny about emptying my garbage, so I continued to finish what I was doing. As I approached the garbage dumpsters, a senior, who was trying not to laugh, told me that trash chutes are on each floor. Quickly retreating back up the stairs, with garbage still in hand , I went to my room. I let the garbage accumulate for several days until I could walk to the trash chutes without any embarrassment. When it was time for our first all-dorm meeting, we were instructed to go to " Pem's beach." The odd thing is that in trying to locate this spot no sand was ever found . But there was a large group of girls sitting on dry brown grass. I figured I would pick up all these new terms in time . Time s~emed to be something I had a lot of during the first few days. I wrote seven letters, four of them to the same person. It was an odd feeling . Had I come to college to rest? Where is this rumored social life? I went in search of it by taking the fast lane- the bars. It was difficult to adjust to the fact that anyone could buy alcohol in a bar, even me. But after a few I got use to it. I attempted to drink as much as the rest of the crowd , and I think I suceeded because the last thing I remembered about that night was some frat guy pinching my posterior. My roommate told me about the escapade the next morning and how she had lost my I.D. in our rampage somewhere , but remembering was the last thing I wanted to do. The mind finally did have to get to work though , that's what I came here for anyway. I was ready to be a student; I no longer wanted to appear to be a freshman . Through all these initial experiences I learned a lot. But, I still have one question. Why do we need all those books for classes if we do not even have to bring them with us? -Amy ZurawskiO

; h Lander Joe Anglum Rookie Runners help out new students I fought about 900 new students who were moving into Carman Hall in August of 1982. As I recall, I offered my elbow more than once in the compact crowd which included an additional few hundred bodies, mostly family and friends, rushing in and out of the lobby to help move the new students into the cubicles that would be their "home sweet home" for the next nine months. And of course, my parents were part of that additional cluster. With arms loaded, we crammed into crowded elevators so that I could get into the cubicle I would call home. I was a new student also. Well, like most other new students at Eastern for their first night, I sat in my cubicle behind a closed door. But it wasn't long before I was aroused by a Rookie Runner who knocked on my door and somehow enticed me to attend the free barbecue, for new students, on the library quad. Rookie Runners were new to the campus also. It was the first year of the Residence Hall Assocation-sponsored program. They played a leading role in helping freshmen adjust to Eastern. So this fall, I returned to Eastern, a proud veteran and know-it-all, ready to help the next group of new students adjust to college. I was now a part of the new student orientation team and for that reason allowed to move into my residence hall cwo days earlier than other upperclassmen. Thus, deprived of having to fight my way through a crowded lobby, I bore the glamorous tide of Rookie Runner. Aiding Resident Assistants with checking new students into their rooms and activating floor mocale is the responsibility of any good Rookie Runner. There are assertive Rookie Runners who are there to impress the new students. They are the ones who give campus tours, give a good impression of what Eastern is like, join you to the fref! barbecue and fill the role of a " townie," by riding the Student Transit System and give a tour of some of Charleston 's shopping centers. Some Rookie Runners found it easy to become involved in the program, but as far as I was concerned, my duties resembled those a baby-sitter might encounter. Day cwo (Sunday): I sat itlle most of the afternoon since most new students checked in Saturday. During the afternoon, I received a message from the Rookie Runner Hotline, (telephone info passed from one floor to another) to report back to Cannan Hall by 7 p.m. to round up potential movie-goers for the free movie that would be shown in the Union. Well, I managed to round up cwo girls from my assigned floor, who just happened to be roommates, for the movie . Mter lingering in the Cannan lobby for a short time, waiting for other movie-goers, we went to the Union. The troops marched up stairs, but I briskly marched back to my new living quarters, Taylor Hall. Anxious to become a normal person again , I quickly changed out of an attention grabbing red shirt with the words Rookie Runner displayed at half-mast and ended, as far as I was concerned, what was scheduled to be a five day program. Monday was the beginning of centcal registration. I was closed out of six of the 15 hours I pre-registered for, and initiating floor mocale would be more than a chore. I had to pick up books, finish getting settled into my own new cubicle, and face my third semester in add/drops. The orientation program is an excellent concept. It does help people get oriented to Eastern. But I guess I just don't fit the mold of a "good" Rookie Runner. - Lisa Green • Top: Sophomore j eanne Jantzen unloads a small percentage of a ''truck load' ' of belongings for her McKinney Hall room.

Electricity on tap Caffeine, nicotine regenerate cells As my hair began its strange dance and my stomach clenched then unclenched like a fist sending the jolts of lovely electricity all the way up my spine to my brain, I lay aside , with loving care, the dregs of my true late night friend , coffee. Half a gallon earlier, I sensed my reserves running low. I was tired. My eyes begged for rest. No more. The cigarettes I've been chain choking for hours now taste good. I'm jolted and all is well. I must tell you straight away that I am a junkie. A legal junkie. My hands shake if I don't get fixed, especially in the early morning when the whole world has the grim visage of a graveyard fiend. I then become the essence of primordial hate; if someone dares me to have a nice day, I would sooner rip the offending tongue from that person's mouth than reply with a smile. The only blessing I desire from God at 7: 30 a. m is a cup of beans and a pack of non-menthol chokes. A pack of cigarettes is a necessity for one hooked on any drug. Between fixes, a good cigarette helps take the edge off and keep everything in perspective. I am a lucky junkie to have only caffeine and nicotine monkeys on my back, since legal habits are not only accepted but force fed us by the advertising community. You can buy enough cancer at any local store to probably kill an entire platoon of Our Nation's Finest, and the government even gets a cut. I love America. America loves me. John Wayne loved America and John Wayne loved coffee . Without coffee Ward Bond might have found the Duke murdered and scalped in his sleep by the Wild Apache. What if Alan].

Who wants to sit cross legged on the floor and eat with little sticks? Not me. And what of our esteemed First Man. In ''Bedtime For Bonzo," Smilin' Ron can often be seen hoisting a cup of Java. Coffee was good for him. Coffee and cigarettes may be the first rung on the endless drug ladder, but they are still the best.

Drinking a cup of bean, without, is like reading the National Enquirer in place of Dostoevsky. And all those doctors who are saying cut back or quit entirely.

Coca-Cola is a great way to introduce children to the joys of caffeine addiction, but be sure and move up to the more bitter edge, as you enter job age. It looks better. Save soda pop for mtxers.

Balancing a schedule Lowered almost to the angle of defeat, the head aches- an imaginary vise. Scattered notecards continue taunting from a desk already littered with books and old papers. Under Thursday's sports section the calendar keeps shouting about the meeting only ten minutes off. It seemed that the schedule demanded 25 hours a day. Things had to be put into perspective. Management of time is necessary to succeed at college life . When management was not present, some students seemed to think drinking would rid them of their problems, but the only results were a backlog of homework and a hangover. Others took frustrations out on friends; creating new enemies and greater depression. Taking a step back and focusing on the impending items can change the view from unmanagable to bearable. There were many things to learn in classes, if one was willing. Worrying was neeclless. It didn 't help in any way . A good rule was to figure out what had to be done at the beginning of each semester and budget time accordingly . All appointments can fit into any organized schedule. It may be impossible to attend two simultaneous meetings, but attending part of both meetings and getting notes from a friend, can work out well. Missing a deadline for a class assignments shouldn't be regarded as a total loss. A chat with the instructor might patch things up. If not, the mistake will serve as a strong deterrent. There are other avenues. Guidance can be gained from talking with counselors, friends, teachers or others who are willing to help. And when all else fails, calling home and talking to mom or dad can help raise a sore head to face problems. _ Kimberlee Maher• Student Life/61

Sweating it out Summer-the same but different "At times, the campus is empty . Other times, it's filled with high school kids." That was the answer I gave to those who asked me what it was like at Eastern in the summer of '83 . "It's weird, informative, nerve-wracking and intoxicating. It's understanding what it's like to be a townie. It's the same, only different.'' These are more specific, if not better ways to answer that question. Class and work schedules are exemplary of the latter response . It's a mini-semester and the idea of blowing off classes is out of the question. Some classes cover a week's worth of material in two hours. Sometimes speeches are composed in a night, and research papers are written in less than a week. Everything is a crash course . More different than same are the free lectures and workshops that only come around in the summer. Eastern's Distinguished Visiting Faculty Lecture series brought experts on various subjects to Eastern's campus to teach workshops and offer free lectures. In June , D. Gordon Rohman, professor of English and lifelong education at Michigan State University spoke on lifelong education. Paul Kershner of the American Association of Retired Persons and the National Retired Teachers Association's associate director visited Eastern in July to give a lecture on the potential power of the elderly. Robert Sample, education consultant and director of Essentia, a media production group, lectured on "The World 's Culture in Transition" and David Costill, director of human performance at Ball State University, lectured on "Exercising in Hot and Humid Conditions" inJuly. Two record setting conferences took place this summer. Five hundred people attended a conference on Civil War Genealogy in June and 3,000 campers from the Christian and Missionary Alliance conducted their Life '.83 conference here for one week in July. The genealogy seminar went virtually unnoticed , but the Christians, who reportedly paid Eastern $500,000 to utilize Eastern's facilities, were all over the place. They occupied almost every residence hall and were constantly seen traveling on campus from service to service. The Christians provided many students week-long jobs and some of those students were pleased with their presence, but some students responded to the campers quite the same way some Charleston residents react to students. Freshman Pete Trainor said "They (the campers) have more rights than us (the students)." "They should try not to have so many at one time," senior Vicky Hilvety said of the number of Christian campers on campus. However, junior Eve Kapelinski said the campers "brought more life to the campus" this summer. Ltfe was something that was missing on and off campus this summer, particularly in the bars. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights everyone could 621 Student Life breathe in Mother's there were no worries of knocking over someone's beer at Ike 's, there was enough space to really dance at E.L. Krackers and lounging actually took place at the Panther Lounge. These feats, which are usually impossible in the fall and spring semesters, somehow left an empty feeling around the area. After-bars parties were hard to find . There wasn't a horde of greeks. There were barely any sports. There wasn't as much fun to be found. It was not like living at Eastern . It was like living in that place that doesn 't change- Charleston. Charleston didn't fold up and disappear, like some believe. It was the same , just hotter. Eastern, though , was different. - Matthew Krasnowski D Photos by Fred Zwicky

Searching for life outside Charleston 64 I Student Life We grabbed our snappiest clothes from the floor, the laundry basket and a few items that were actually hanging in our closets. We stuffed them in a duffle bag and fled out the door. Our purpose and destination, respectively: a road trip to the University of Illinois. We were off, looking for a night's entertainment for only $1 9.35 (that's all the cash we had between us) . We caught a ride with a freshman who was going to visit her high school sweetheart. All during the ride to Champaign we were confined to the back seat of this girl's Pinto and forced to listen to Air Supply with the volume at a level painful to our ears. All she seemed to talk about was her romance-filled high school days, in between her renditions of ' 'I'm All Out of Love ." We arrived in Champaign not a moment too soon. We were dropped off at the Union with less than 24 hours to find food , fun and adventure , not to mention a man here and there . Our first priority was to fill our growling stomachs with food . We considered our budget and decided McDonald 's was the best bet.

Warm meals, cozy cubicles Dorm life OK despite cold showers The only person who really knows what dorm life is really like is a person who has actually lived in one of those cubicles. I say that jokingly, but some people found that description quite accurate. It depended on how you looked at it. Some disadvantages: the lack of privacy, cramped space, the community bathroom and some of the regulations. Some advantages: your meals were cooked for you , there was always someone to talk to and the only monthly bill was from Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company. Now maybe you were just as surprised as myself to find some good things about dorms. But I came to realize that living in a dorm was what you make of it. It didn't have to be a nightmare . Some bad aspects could be made good , or at least bearable , if one tried. For example, very few people enjoyed eating three meals a day in the food service. It usually was a long wait for the food . By the time a resident would reach the trays and silverware , their appetite would be gone. The food offered was not be the same as offered at home, but it was edible. As far as privacy was concerned, a dorm wasn't the ideal place to be alone, although it was not impossible . Schedules had to be worked out so that they would benefit you and your floormates. But a place could always be found to study, write letters, or just think. If you didn't want to be alone someone always could be found to hang around with. Necessary items could always be borrowed quite easily from neighbors too. Twenty-four hour visitation was nice but those students, who didn't have it, learned to cope without it. If you had a visitor for the weekend, their presense in your small room made the atmosphere quite cozy. If that visitor happened to be of the opposite sex, the situation could be made advantageous. There was never a dull moment as far as the community bathroom situation was concerned . This was a learning experience from day one . You never knew what to expect. Instances such as suddenly discovering your cleaning attendant was a member of the opposite sex, finding disgusting remnants on the floor and having to wait in line for a cold shower were always fun. Rules relating to alcohol were another problem. You had to be 80 I Student Life 21 to drink in your room and, even then, merrymaking was limited to beer and wine. This seemed a bit idiotic since several bars were just a few minutes away. Dorm life was most definitely a growing experience. I had to learn how to get along with many people in close living quarters and budget my time wisely, in addition to other things. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages, but the actual stay in the residence hall was the only true teacher. Next time someone asks for advice on dorm life , tell them some of the nice stuff along with the terrors. - Kimberlee MaherD Photos by Michael Sitarz

Dinner at the dormIt's not all that bad During my years at Eastern I have encountered many a bizarre and amusing experience, but of everything I have seen and done the one and only thing I had not gone through, until August of 1983, was dorm food. Not having lived in a residence hall I was spared the ordeal. I have heard much of the food's pros and cons, so with this great debate taging I decided that I should look into the gastrovascular debate for myself. I went to the Taylor-Lawson Food Service and with my host, purchased a meal ticket. I could not help but notice the number on the card; it was very low. Could that mean there are not many people who dine at the Food Service? With that in mind my host and I stood in the slow moving line making idle chit-chat. Upon examination of the silverware we were offered, I noticed that the blade on the knife I chose was close to the point of nonexistence. Nevertheless, I continued through the line choosing the following dishes: ground sirloin steak with onion rings, dinner fries, " Texas Toast, " " Beanie Weenies" and cherry pie for dessert. I was later informed the "Beanie Weenies" were leftovers. I passed on the salad (I never knew there was brown lettuce), retrieved a cola and seated myself among the residents of Taylor and Lawson who were eating their meals at a break-neck pace. The quicker it's over, the better, I thought. My dinner was bathed in the late afternoon sunlight, thus enhancing the green tint of the steak. The steak was quite tasty though, except for the sevetal bits that contained the strong taste of soybeans. I recall commenting, " I found the field. " The onion rings were very good, with just the right amount of crispness to them. And the dinner fries were fine, but, what can go wrong the noble tuber? The " Texas Toast," however, was like a brick. Upon striking the toast with my spoon it responded with an E flat note. The " Beanie Weanies" were definitely leftovers. Enough said. I do not wish to dwell on their tastiness any further. The finest item offered was the cherry pie. After having sevetal bits I found it to be quite filling . It was packed with cherries, the crust was not as flaky as other pies but this did not dettact from it. Ovetall, the dinner was not as bad as I was led to believe. I also know it will never be on the same level as the Ritz or the Waldorf. It is, however, the staple of residence hall life. -Jerry).

Resident Assistant Friday night fun and frolic just a fantasy Junior Bzfl Tucker, was a Resident Assistant at Carman Hall his sophomore and junior years. The life of an RA wasn't always easy. But the advantages made the work a plus. It was just tough to be a normal student. I always wanted to enjoy a Friday night, just one Friday night- bars, women, fun and frolic. My fantasy, though , usually ended abruptly when the phone rang. A phone call usually meant another long night of duty for me, a Resident Assistant. But, hey, I couldn't complain. The job did have its advantages. For example, as an RA I got to meet more people than most dorm residents met. Everyone on the floor knew me, where I lived, and had a summation of whether or not I was a good guy or a bad guy. The big disadvantage though, was the night life. When most people received a phone call, it usually was an invitation to the bars or some party. But when an RA's phone rang, it usually was a request to let some poor soul in who was locked out of the dorm, after hours. RAs also got the chance to handle some rather unique incidents. How often do most people have to confront a resident for mooning out of the window? On the outside, the typical RA was the person in the staff shirt, sitting behind a desk loaded with paperwork, usually too tired to put up with late night noise. But contrary to popular belief, most RAs did like to have an occasional beer. In fact, some RAs were even known to have as much fun as the average dorm resident, at least once or rwice a semester. The residents, though, would not think that we had much fun. I think, "Hey it's my buddy." They think, "Oh, it's my RA." We have friends but in their minds, we are RAs first. Probably the most satisfying aspect of the job was that we did meet and deal with so many residents. There wasn't a single RA on campus that took the job because they wanted to play policeman and "bust" people. That was the worst part of the job. You dido' t make friends by telling a guy he couldn't have a girl in his room after visitation hours. From my experience I have noticed that people can treat RAs like a walking disease. But remember, we are normal people too. - Bill TuckerD .)

Budgeting to get buy Planning helps avoid money crunch A typical Friday night. I was enjoying the company of a few of my friends at the bar with a cold pitcher of beer. As the evening progressed, we acquired the company of a few female companions. It was my turn to buy the next pitcher of beer. That wouldn't have been so be so bad except for that I was wearing a piir of Calvin Klein designer jeans that I had just bought. It was tough to get the money out that tight pocket. I finally managed to wedge my hand into my pocket. The next task was getting my hand out of the pocket. It was like trying to get the cork out of the cold duck bottle for a Thanksgiving dinner. Anyway, I opened up my hand, the entire contents of my pocket rested in my palm: my apartment keys, an old movie stub, some lint and 3 7 cents in dimes, nickels and pennies. I felt like sinking down to the level of the cigarette butts on the floor. How embarrassing! The girls then left. My friends told me how they budget their money. I knew Photos by Micheal Siwz This page: Alcohol is not excluded from product prices that continue to rise.

Money is something we will always what we have to watch what we do with. Prices of goods did not drastically increase this year. In fact, it was the smallest price increase since 1975. But this does not mean that life is going to get easier. When I sat down and thought about it, cutting corners was easy. We just need a money management list. By keeping a list of all the things I spend money on, right down to gumballs, I figured I should have enough money left at the end of the month to waste on three extra pitchers of beer. Here is a list of items that this year I, along with many other Eastern students are shopping and budgeting ourselves for. - Michael J.

Rushing requires more than time At first it just seemed like something to do. No biggie. A free party and another night of beer. Honestly, I never gave the idea of rushing very much thought ... and then it happened. I met a few people and then a few more people. Finally I was showing up at most of the rush parties. No one pressured me into pledging, but they did try to explain the purpose of the fraternity . I didn 't want to ask too many questions about pledging. Anyway, I didn't know what to ask. It seemed easier and more logical to ask important questions when we weren't drinking, so I talked with the actives and read some literature about the frat . I wanted to pledge , but I was massively confused about the entire concept. So, I went home one weekend and thought of the advantages and disadvantages of becoming part of the Greek system. Sometimes, I thought the disadvantages outweighed the advantages by far. I wasn't going to be stupid about it. I mean, I knew pledging costs money. But where would I get the bucks? I hadn't even paid fall tuition and my housing had been deferred for two months. And, last but not least, how could I have forgotten that damn phone bill that incessantly occured every 78/ Student Life month? Of course my Gamma Delta Iota (GDI) friends told me horrible stories about the physical and mental abuse a pledge would have to go through. "They'll humiliate you and you'll wish you could get out, but you can't!" my friends would yell. Where did they come up with that stuff? My mother's immediate response of me pledging a frat was that I would turn into a John Belushi-ish party maniac . She obviously hated the movie Animal House. I couldn't say in 25 words or less why I decided to pledge. It was simply the result of a decision I had to make. To put it plain and simple, I thought it was right for me so I pledged. I'm the first to admit I was as nervous as hell when I pledged. Who knows, maybe my GDI friends were right. But as it turned out, the pledge ceremony didn't have a human sacrifice. Nobody was there to torment pledges. It was all rumors. Everyone's major gripe was that it cost too much money, but what I have already developed and learned about myself since pledging is priceless and can never be taken away. - Mike MooreD

School • • sptrtt lacks Eastern's Loyalty We are loyal EIU We're loyal and true; though the odds be great or small, We 'II sttfl be cheering you Rah! Rah! Rah! Fight you Panthers for the glory Of our dear name Fight on for Eastern, Come on you Panthers, win the game. Those are the famed words to Eastern's school song. After asking about 30 people at random if they knew the words to the school song, not too surprisingly, only one person knew them. And that one person, senior Anita Heninger, was required to know it her freshman year because she was a band member. Some of the guesses made as to the context of the song were sarcastic , however, some were pretty close. Others weren't even in the ball park. Freshman Gary Jones thought words such as fight , proud , go, fight and win would appear in the song. Jones said school spirit at Eastern was better before the number of tailgate parties were cut back on during the football season. He suggested that there might be better turn outs at other sporting events if parties similar to tailgates were conducted before the games. Parties similar to tailgates were also recommended as a spirit booster by sophomore George Cook. ''Not much can help Eastern's teams but maybe if the events This page: "We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit how 'bout you?" Members of the spirited Big Dogs have a some laughs and show their enthusiasm at a Panther f ootball game. 86 I Student Life vital ingredients were made more social, by parties before the games, you could get more people to attend," he said. Another suggestion to improve school spirit came from junior Tom Vose . He said Eastern should just get better teams. Vose said if more people were to go to the games to watch the athletes, maybe then they would gain some school spirit and maybe even learn the school song. Senior Rich Janota also thinks that school spirit is very low and the only way for it to be improved is to get new players on Eastern 's sports teams. Many others thought the cure to improving school spirit was having new players and sports teams. Others thought that all hope is lost for the dying art of being a cheerleader in the stands. Junior Chris Gibson said the cheerleaders are the only ones who know the song. Freshman Ken Maragi said, " School spirit is the epitome of college life . " Senior Chuck Holtulin said he is here for a job and doesn ' t have time to learn the school song. " That song just wouldn ' t improve my worldly knowledge and in the long run it wouldn't do me any good. For these reasons, I don ' t think I need to know the school song. " But the most curious thing about all the people I talked to, very few people thought that EIU , blue or Panthers would be in the words to the school song. Next time , I think I will ask people if they know that the school colors are blue and grey. -Amy ZurawskiD

Training officers Changing the image of ROTC Raymond Nagel is a senior psychology major and the third highest ranking cadet in the Reserve Officer Training Corp program at Eastern. In high school I thought everyone in ROTC had nothing better to with their lives. I kind of thought they were the dregs of society and wouldn't succeed at anything else. The reason I joined ROTC was they offered me a federal scholarship and I needed the money. My view of ROTC changed dramatically, I started to like it. When I decided to join they started putting me through the standard procedures. First, I was interviewed by high ranking officers in the Army. I had to take a lot of physical exams. They gave me diagnostic tests and I took a medical exam. Last of all I went to basic camp, which I really enjoyed. After I officially joined and was incorporated as a low ranking cadet, I had to take orders from higher ranking cadets. I also had to take military lab courses. I am bound by a contract that stipulates that I either join the Army Reserve or the active U.S. Army. If I joined reserves I would have to serve for eight years. If I joined active I would serve four years. Upon my graduation I will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the active Army. I don 't plan to make a career out of the Army though. After I have fulfilled my obligation, I want to teach psychology in high school plus coach wrestling and football. I have learned more skills from ROTC than anywhere else. I have to take land navigation, map reading , weapons operation, leadership training and Army administration . I've had fun times too, like going to jump school where I met a lot of nice people. The sensation of jumping out of a plane Fred Zwicky was great too. We also managed to occasionally throw wild parties that got out of hand , like a lot of parties do. There are people in ROTC, though , who are too gung-ho for me. I'm really a moderate person. These people don't fit my image of good ROTC material. Some of the teachers are even too gung-ho for me. My idea of good ROTC material is someone who is intelligent, courteous, patriotic and honest. Not someone who is apathetic, liberal, a mental moron with bad grades, or a fat slob in bad physical shape. ROTC gives me a lot of authority. I like being in charge with my own staff and all the quirks that come with my position . But they do give me a lot of responsibilities that interfere with my studies. I hate the added responsibilities, because my grades come first . The teachers in the ROTC program (who are actual Army officers) don't really discuss Latin America and the Middle East. Those situations worry me, but I feel nothing bad will come of them. I think we can handle these diplomatically, I'm more worried about the Soviet Union. The teachers aren't purposely hiding the problems from us but talk of it would hurt our enrollment. My biggest gripe about ROTC is the view around campus about us. We need a better image; maybe if we could kick out all the dead meat we have in here. We have had to take whatever kind of person we could get. But still, my view of ROTC has changed 180 degrees since I've joined. There are really some nice, smart and hard-working people in it. -Interview by Lawrence SmithD This page: ROTC Cadet Dan Porter has problems getting untangled from his ropes. He was climbing down the side of Buzzard Buzlding as part of a ROTC recruitment program. Student Life /87

Fitness craze Vigorous exersise means perfection My sister jogs for exercise. My mother walks. My friend lifts weights. And 1.. .does taking a quick shower in the morning count for anything? It is hard to admit in this era of health consciousness and physically fevered bodies that I am a fitness fluokie. When it comes to dedicated exercise I have all the enthusiasm of a fat cat. Plainly put, I hate sweating. And straining. And aching. And all the other little miseries that usually accompany one on the quest for a beautiful body. So it was with true courage that I endeavored to uncover the current mystique of what was once was called plain old "exercise ." It is now known by a host of other synonyms like "defense against aging," "way to unwind" and "avenue to energy." Catchy, but I dido' t buy it. No way was I going to believe in "thin thighs in 30 days" or a ''flattened stomach in 15 days' ' no matter how many magazines smeared it across their covers. So, I decided to visit an aerobics class and see for myself what ''fitness'' was like . Sitting in the middle of Sirius Fitness Center's intermediate aerobics class in Charleston, I had to once again wonder why. Why would all these girls willingly don their leotards and fashionably torn tee-shirts just to subject themselves to a grueling work-out? Then I looked at the instructor's body and knew. She bounced but her thighs didn't. (Quick, how do I get started?) Senior Lisa Simon, 22 , aerobics instructor at Sirius, explained how the exercise era evolved, "At first it was a fad, then little by little it became something to capitalize on. It's been exploited , but then, we 're a capitalist society." Simon, a student of dance for eight years and aerobics teacher for two years, believes that fitness is more than a trend. "I think you're going to see it stay because of the nature of women and men. They desire something different. People are taking a more personal assessment of themselves.' ' No longer is it enough to be pretty, handsome, thin, smart, funny or successful. Well-rounded individuals are taking care of their bodies also. Health clubs are proof of this fact. Contrasted to the old no-frills gyms of the past, the new clubs offer temptations such as jazzercise, tennis and racquetball courts, whirlpools, exerdance , body-fat-density testing and, of course, weight rooms. Linda Evans, Victoria Principal and other television personalities were the one's who began carrying the fitness flag which people saw and desired. Almost every women's magazine began regularly devoting a section to body and health. Fitness is HERE, fellow flab fighters, it's HERE! Hundreds of articles can help people decide which exercise is best (or which waist whittier really works!). Even children , geriatrics and pregnant women are stretching and swinging to music for their health . Some want to lose weight or tone-up. Still others just enjoy the comradery that goes along with unity exercising or the "body buddy system'' as Simon called it. For students it is often an escape from the pressures of school. ''The most important thing is to realize that any type of exercise is going to be a personal benefit," Simon said . "It makes you feel better about yourself." Frankly, I couldn't stand the pressure . Mter getting the word, I dragged my ratty Nikes out of hibernation and ripped up a few sweatshirts for my new exercise look. I followed the many on the path of looking fit. The results have yet to show, but I'm sure it. is a step (or jog) in the right direction. -Stacey FlanniganD Opposite page: Freshman Pete Margiotta uses one of the weight machines at Lantz gym.

Hiding behind number nine Evelyn jasper is the main operator behind number nine, the University Telephone Information Center. The center is located at the telephone and security butfding. We are here to help people. It seems to me that a lot of people, especially freshman , need help once in a while and it's nice to be able to provide them with all the information I can. Sometimes people call number nine to ask things that we just don't know the answer to, like information about add/- drops and attendance policies. We just don't have that information to give. All we can do in cases like that is send them to the right places. This page, Top: Number nine operators have to know a lot more than phone numbers. They provide students with information about campus events, such as concerts, or refer them to someone who can help them. Bottom: A switchboard operator thumbs through an inch-thick volume of telephone listings while someone on the other end of the line waits for a phone number. 88 I Student Life The system is run by civil service workers. In order to become an operator, a person must take a civil service test. The people who get the top three scores are then asked to come in for interviews. From those people, the operators are choosen. Of these operators at the telephone sevice, there are two people on duty during the day. There is only one operator on duty nights, weekends and holidays, and that operator also has to watch the fire alarms and monitor the police radio. That is why when people sometimes call, it takes a while for an operator to answer. The night operators are oftern very busy. We're just here to help people. A lot of people need help and its nice to be there to help those who want it. When I was young, I saw a picture of a telephone operator in a newspaper. I decided to become a telephone operator then. I told my girlfriend I wanted to be an operator and she did also. So, we went to the phone company and applied for jobs. We both got one. I guess you could say it was a like a childhood dream come true. I've worked with the phones ever since then , for about 18 years. If I didn't work with phones I don't know what else I would do. -Interview by Amy ZurawskiD ... "' ...... '·;.::::;;::;:,: .. IIJ.~-- ' :-1 : - -- -- _ ___ -I( - t r_

Nightlife Custodian satisfied with third shift Kent Kurfman This page: A custodian begins the third shift by mopping up at Hardee 's on campus. Third shift custodians clean up during the late hours when most students are napping. Custodian Dan Cross has worked the late night! early morning shift, or the third shift, in the Booth Library and Buzzard Budding at Eastern since the beginning of the fall semester. There are 33 third shift custodians on campus. I start at midnight but usually never get through until 7:30 a.m. I don 't mind the work, though. I have the bottom floor of the library, which isn't that bad to clean . There are some areas custodians are responsible for which are hard to finish in the time we have. I've got a friend who works the main floor of the library and he never gets finished in ume . Sometimes after the buildings have been locked , we find students in the buildings and have to run them out. I've found students in the library hiding in the stacks and have had to make them leave . The Buzzard Building is the exception. When I went in to clean up there , students would still be there working on The Dazly Eastern News. I didn 't mind because I liked talking to the students. Although the work was harder, I enjoyed working in Buzzard more . The building you're assigned to depends on your tenure . I'm fourth from the bottom in the seniority ranking now. Bid meetings for special location requests are held at the Union. Sometimes at bid meetings people get bumped into other shifts. There's four different groups of janitors; the physical plant, the union , the food service and the housing janitors. I'm _in the physical plant category and we 're the only ones who work into the early morning. Having janitors around at night helps pick up some of the security slack. Campus Security has a tough time covering the whole campus. If a professor sends a note to our superior because something doesn't get done it goes on our record. One morning I got a note because one of the carpets in front of the library doors had three leaves on it. Hopefully something as minor as that wouldn't go on record though. We have a foreman who usually checks by once a night. He makes sure I don't miss anything . If we do our work , things like that won't happen too often . -Interview by Len Krasnowski D Student Life I 89

Liquor problems And the powers that be wrestle the powers that thirst It all started on Nov. 23, 1981. No, it was Nov. 16, 1981. Yep. That's when it all began. "Liquor" and "problems" have become inseparable words at Eastern, and it all staned back when then-Mayor Bob Hickman sent a letter to all Charleston bar owners asking them to adopt carding policies which reflected the state's drinking law- ah, wait! That's when it all began- on that fateful New Year's Eve when 19 and 20 year olds lost The Right to Drink. Ever since that cursed change went into effect- even before- "the powers that be" have wrestled with "the powers that thirst," each vying for dominance. The issue had died down until Clancy Pfeiffer climbed into Bob Hickman's mayoral chair in April of 1983, and as one of his first acts decided to rid Charleston of its underage drinking plague. He decided that if you had to be 21 to drink, you may as well have to be 21 to get into the bars. What he hadn't thought about was the economic impact of Charleston's bootleg drinkers getting booted out of the watering holes- and taking their wallets with them. So, he gathered all the tavern owners together and told them there was a This page: In early fall, parties such as this at the ''Nut House '' went to full swing. Opposite page: Glenn Wtlliams, vice president for student affairs, and Union Area Head Btl/ Clark discuss the new tat/gate policy at 0 'Bn'en. 90/Student Life problem - an irate citizenry - and they had to be placated. So, if hiking the entry age to bars up to 21 by mayoral fiat might be illegal, well, now, why don 't you fellas help me a little bit and discourage these youngsters from coming to drink, and stop all dn'nk specials. Drink specials- quarter beer nights, all you can dn'nk nights, etc. -attract impovenshed college students, you see, and a majon'ty of college students seem to be underage, you see. Unfonunately, even though the mayor got most of the tavern owners to go along with his idea, there was this obscure federal statute about price-fixing, so that- although never proven or testedwas dropped also. Trouble enough, you say? Wrongo, pal. Then there was the fall semester of 1983, which was equally hazardous for libatious collegiate types. If Clancy injected the heebie-jeebies into "the powers that thirst" by his spring follies, pity the poor souls who trod around Charleston to whet their thirsts in the fall. Whisper "Tailgates," " After bars" and "Crackdown" to many students and watch them pale as their eyes dart about looking for lawmen or student marshals. Now, the police denied any crackdown on underage drinking, even though several off-campus afterbar parties were broken up and the hosts and hostesses had to pay hefty fines after their arrests. And the police aren't shy about taking students who sport their drinks around in public into custody- it is a law. But city officials don't have a monopoly on "liquor" and "problems" with "the powers that thirst." Meet the administrators at Eastern. They, too, would like to rid Charleston of its underage drinking plague. Eastern officials decided to vent their wrath on the hordes of tailgaters - a breed that emerged on the days of home football games and congregated in the designated student tailgate area - and decreed that these funsters who came and drank the day away without ever so much as seeing the pigskin - or pinkpantherskin - had to be regulated somehow. The situation was just too out of control. Exhibiting all the foresight of a central Illinois mayor, the official tailgate policy, which was quickly adopted on Oct 4., limited the amount of time the funsters could fun . It also banned the use of kegs as a source of intoxication. Banning kegs, you see, would keep the drunken hordes a little less drunk and a little less horde. And it would keep the official student tailgate area a little less litterlessreplacing those bulky, oh so cluttery kegs with nice, neat little cans and bottles. Oh, wait; maybe not. But tailgate parties and the police weren't the only sources of consternation for "the powers that thirst." Carry Nation's temperance cross, laid to rest with the passage of Prohibition, was borne anew by that crusading landlord Ron Tarvin. Yes, Charleston's own Mr. T did his bit to earn a space in the annals of any discussion of " liquor" and " problems." Just ask Jerry Nikitas. Nikitas was one of the targets of Tarvin's "Bye-bye booze" campaign . After the sale of liquor to a minor occurred at Nikitas' place of business, Tarvin decided to teach someone "a lesson" and pressed Mayor Clancy to suspend Nikitas' license. The mayor, by now well versed in the ways of city management and not the boisterous upstart who issued those fiery threats the previous spring, said nope. Not gonna suspend that license. Earlier, Tarvin had flexed his muscle with some young coeds in the Kool Aid House, which they rented from Tarvin and consistently partied in. He placed a bunch of scary ads in the paper and beat his drum to a different beat. At least that's what "the powers that thirst'' thought. This strange fight between ''the powers" will not end soon. Once again, only time will tell. -Marc PacatteD

Brian Ormislon Retailers: '82-'83 fads ready for the garage sale Though many people consider some types of clothing in style, a lot of the fashion trends around =pus are on their way out. The fads of 1982-83 will not be rerurning soon, various clothing store managers in the CharlestonMattoon area said. The cropped slacks and jeans with cuffs 50s look, which was very popular in the summer of '83 went out in the fall, Laura Zuhone, assistant manager at Meis in Mattoon, said. Our =pus read different in the fall, though. The 50s look seemed to be run into the ground. Zuhone added that the Sailor-look, with the tie, also died . The split-skitt look is out of style too, Zuhone and Kay Hanley, La Boutique/junior Joynt manager, said. "Split skirts peaked and they are on their way out, " Hanley said. The mini-skirt took the place of the splitskirt, I suppose. Though it seemed sensible to not wear the mini in the winter, some girls on =pus exposed their knees and thighs anyway. Dresses and the "dressy" look will always be with us. Even if it is not quite the fashion at the time. For instance, the tuiedo-look, which was 741 Student Life very popular last year during the holiday season, is no longer popular. Kathleen Downs, Ruthies manager, said, " We didn 't buy any type of tuiedo fashion . It just isn 't as popular." But this style was present on Eastern's =pus. The prairie-look also went out. " We don't have anything in the prairie-look for this fall," Zuhone said. Prairie blouses that button down the side and across the front are out of style. For men, who wear everything they have in their closets, just as long as it is clean and fits, a change in styles may not mean anything . Still, men 's styles have changed - slightly. Sue Leathers, Dale Bayles owner, said the boot-cut jeans are going out of style. ' 'The boot-cut jeans and corduroys are definitely out of style now and the long, pointed collar shirts are no longer fashionable . The buttondown collar shirt has taken the place of the traditional collar shirt." Of course this did not change what most men chose when they went to class. Boot-cut jeans didn' t wear out as easily as they went out of style. Other no-nos for guys on campus were wide lapels, wide belts and wide ties, Leathers added . For both guys and gals some shocking news was that jogging shoes were going out of style, Jerold Moore, of Mack Moore shoes in Mattoon, said. If srudents on this campus took his fashion advice the majority of us would have went to class barefoot. Here's a not too suprising list of other fashion no-nos; floral prints, big puffy taffeta ball gowns, ruffles, plain metallics, thin gold chains, right-fitting starus jeans, bulky padded shoulders, gloss, frosted eye shadow, long, pointed dragon lady nails, musky oriental scents, and the infamous cowboy boots. As far as hair is concerned, if it was long, spiky or had tight curls it was out. Fads and fashions always exist on this campus even if they do go for the most part unnoticed . The trends overlap and blend together so it's nearly impossible to tell what's in and what's out. The fashion conscience is not present. Time is the main factor in fashion , not place. Time dictates the fashion trends. Eastern's campus was not in step with New York or Paris this year. But, in time, New York and Paris will also be out of step. - Debra Klauer•
