SToungstown State University Youngstown, O&io Starch XX, -1988 Vol. 64 * Ho, 38 reeks suffer 240% By JEFF HALL Back in March, 1969, YSU Counseling Director George Letchworth predicted that if fra ternities failed to change their image, their growth would de cline and they would appeal to fewer students. Statistics released from the Student Activities office show that membership in fraternities and sororities at YSU has declined 240 percent over the past decade. Letchworth, who made his predictions in an article published in March, 1969, issue of the Journal of College Student Personnel (JCSP), said that the decline at YSU can be attributed to reasons he mentioned in the JCSP article. In the 1969 article^ Letchworth said that the Greek system would appeal to fewer students unless it attempted to change two highly-criticized aspects of fraternities- and sororities: anti-intellectualism and discrimin atory membership practices. "From what I see now, they (Greek systems) have not changed, and that may be why their membership has declined" Letchworth said. Letchworth also said in the article that the fraternities' failure to adjust to the changing society would detract from the maturation and development of the fraternity. "I thought that they would find ? themselves more ? and more alienated from the college (unless they adjusted)," Letchworth added. - All of the fraternity and sorority members contacted by The Jambar this past week said that, basically, the 240 percent decline in membership could be attributed to bad publicity of the Greek system by the media. Dina Suhey, president of the PanheUenic Council (social sororities), said that membership has declined because many people are basing their opinions about YSU Greek life on problems such as See Greeks, page 15 CLIMATIC SHOCK - Students weathered it, but didn't quite accept the unusual contrast of Thursday's winter with Monday's spring. itse By JIM DEVINE The University's proposed Institute for Applied Science and Technical Studies will be the premier computing site in north eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, Thomas Doctor, computer center director, predicted yesterday. The YSU Board of Trustees Tuesday approved construction of the $12 million, 80,000 square foot facility on a 250' x 300' tract on Wick Avenue, south of the pedestrian bridge and west of the parking deck. Funds for the : SITE EVA Ihc d.irkir rectangle on Site 3 represents the proposed high tech building in this campus overview. > building were included in a capital appropriations bill, approved by the Ohio Legislature in 1981, and in clude $3 million for equipment. The, Wick Avenue site was. chosen over 11 other possible locations, chiefly for its accessability and adaptability, said Edmund J. Salata, dean of administrative services. A second phase of construction is planned, if needed, that could extend the building north to the present site of the old motel that housed A & S. '*The architects have initiated a discussion with St. John's Church on Wick Avenue to purchase the parcel of land now known as "Carmen's Parking." The site is not essential, said Salata,' but would- compliment the landscaping of the entire high tech area. The parcel is 70' x 300'and. is east of the Wick deck. : A -winter- groundbreaking is scheduled - for the .building, with completion expected ' by September, 1985.. . A walkway will be constructed connecting the high tech building with the pedestrian walkway spanning Wick Avenue from the parking deck to the campus proper. The physical layout, of the building has - not yet been determined, Doctor said, adding that the University's Executive Committee has, for several months, been working with the architects to define logical relationships between use of courses and floor planning. The building is expected to rise four stories, he said. "The building will be used by the entire University," Doctor said. "It will be like a one-stop shopping center for computing similar to the mall, concept. All the resources that a student.might need will be right: there, including micro-computers, minicomputers, robotics equipment, - the Central Processing Ujrrit:(CPU) and personal computers and software. - - "The- building' comes at a good time," Doctor.' continued;' 'The .University can't afford to relocate the student computer centers." Doctor hopes , to implement a 300400 terminal computer center On the first' fldor of the building. "Having it (computer center) in one place will cut costs and help to alleviate the congestion at the Computer Center in Tod Hall," he said. The University has added 15 terminals since fall quarter at the three Academic Service Centers to help alleviate printing delays caused by computer breakdowns and heavy demand by students for terminal time. Doctor estimated the cost of the terminals at $45,000 to $50,0.00. The Central Processing Unit has also been upgraded. Its memory has been tripled from four to 12 megabites. Each megabite consists of one million" characters or bits. - A robotics center is planned for the Institute. ''However, robotics', equipment is very expensive.. YSU has submitted a grant proposal to IBM to help cover the costs," he said. See High-tech, page 14 3 Xne ^amDar March 11, 1983 Vigilante prof kicks at Florida parking violators GAINESVILLE, FL (CPS) - A state judge has sentenced the "Car-Kicking Prof* of the University of Florida to 10 days in jail and an $800 fine. Before imposing the unusually stiff sentence, Circuit Court Judge Miller Lang chastised English Professor Julian Smith for kicking a parked van last fall as part of his private war on campus traffic law violators. The incident occurred last Oct. 30 when the bearded Smith hopped inside an illegally-parked van, and then refused to budge until police arrived to ticket the owners of the van. When the owners drove away with Smith in the van, the 45-year- old film studies teacher hollered out the windows that he had been "kidnapped." And after police officers arrived and failed to take him seriously, Smith kicked the van's rear panel in frustration. He was promptly arrested. In the past, Smith has walked over, laid under and struck cars illegally parked on the campus. He says he wasn't interested in regulating traffic until he arrived at UF in 1977 and was appaUed,by its "chaotic" parking situation. At his sentencing, however, Smith, who is now called "The Car-Kicking Prof around the school, said he was sorry about his "quixotic efforts" to make the campus safe for walking and driving. Tiie judge was unimpressed. "No matter how well-founded your intentions, you have intruded on the rights of others," Lang told Smith. "You showed complete disregard for the laws you were so quick to uphold." The shocked Smith asked the judge to defer the sentence until the end of the semester, but Lang refused. Other professors will take over the classes while Smith is in the stir, English Department Chairman Melvin New says. UF President Robert Marston reserved comment, except to say "the only part that is always worrisome is that he intentionally broke the law. Thai's not what we expect our teachers to teach our students." Hurrying from the courtroom to Alachua County Jail with his wife Monica, Smith was uncertain about appealing the conviction and about continuing Ms vigilante crusade against traffic violators. "I'm not sure of anything at this point," he said. e new Vice-President dm By SUZANNEPENNELL Next Friday, March 18, marks the 45th anniversary of the New man Student Organization (NSO)at YSU, and the campus community will have an opportunity to join in the celebration. The NSO was developed by a group of 100 students in 1938. An outgrowth of the Newman Center, the NSO grew with the Uni versity, providing services for Cath olics and non-Catholics, of the YSU community. According to Brother Joe Martin, associate director of the Newman Center, the NSO "was the center of the University until Kilcawley was built." During the years when the New man Center was located in its original building (behind St. Joseph's Church), the membership of the NSO expanded to over 200 people. The 1960s proved to be the peak years of activity for the NSO. Andy Hvisdak, current president of the NSO, notes that "in 1963, we had from 300 to 400 people attending meetings at Mooney and Ursuline." During the early 60s the NSO sponsored two big dances a year and hosted bowling and roller skating parties. However, in 1979, the original Newman Center was torn down to build a parking lot, thus forcing the NSO to relocate in St. Joseph's Church. After that move, the NSO encounterred a dramatic decline in membership. It was during that period of time, states Martin, that Newman Student Organizations throughout the country experienced a drop in enrollment. At YSU. the same decline in Newman interest was being felt. In the area of enrollment, states Hvisdak, "we (the NSO at YSU) have suffered the same problems as most organizations on campus." Task force hearing set A special task force from the Ohio House of Representatives will conduct a hearing Monday, March .21. Ray Miller, Jr., Columbus, 29th District, is chairman of the Select Committee on Employment and Civil Service. The committee has been separated into four "Focus Groups," each of which will hold four regional hearings across the state on different topics of concern. The Focus Group on Unemploy ment and Human Services will hold its public hearing 12:30- 4 p.m,, Monday, March 21, Arts and Sciences Hall. CoordinatorJ of this hearing is Terry - Buss, director of YSU's Center for Urban Studies, assisted by R. Frank Huntley of the center's staff. . THIS EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED BY STUDENT GOVERNMENT (comer of Elm (8b Lincoln) -Lately, however, the local NSO has been acquiring new members, which has caused intereset in the organization to increase. Martin, finds that " a renewed interest in scripture and religion" has helped to keep the NSO alive. The current NSO consists of 30 active members, and around 20 who are unpledged. To celebrate its anniversary, the NSO plans, on March 20, to hold a special anniversary mass at 10 a.m. Following the mass, there will be a luncheon, which will be open to all ' past members of' the NSO, as well as to members of the campus com munity. To help former NSO members join in . the celebration, Martin intends to issue invitations to the priests who have served as NSO chaplins over the years. In retrospect, Martin said he finds that the NSO has, throughout the years, increased the scope of its activities. In addition to welcoming parties and mug,nights, the New mans are also involved in crop walks and other charitable activi ties. Although the NSO is under the wing of the Catholic Church, it accepts members of ail denomina tions. The NSO "is not a convert pro gram," states Martin: Hvisdak agrees and adds, "It's more like home." To some people, it has been home?for 45 years.

Coffelt to define employees and non-employ ees of the University, the method of student wage payment will change. Charles McBriarty, associate vice president of student services, said that the new policy will distinguish two types of student employees: those paid an hourly wage of S3.35 and those paid a stipend according to the task they perform. This change will take place July 1,1983. The change came about when it was "recently recognized," accor ding to McBriarty, that the Internal Revenue Service considers students employees. The new policy estab lishes a criteria by: which students will be paid. According to the new policy, "An employee is an individual who is paid for.Ids services performed under the control and supervision of the employer as to the method and results of the work performed. Non-employees, conversely, are individuals who are not under the control of the employer as to methods and results; typically these are professionals who are paid by the University for performing a specified task or service, with the individual retaining control over the method and/or the content of the services performed." In the past, he said, some stu- ' dents were being paid according to unclear standards, and some were not being paid enough for the work they were doing. Overall, he said, they were not being paid wages that equated with their jobs. The new policy dictates that stu dent assistants will receive a uni form hourly rate established annually. The second type of student em ployee will be one paid a stipend according to a specific job he is asked to perform. McBriarty said these positions will be fewer than the hourly posi tion and will be subject to approval by the office employing the student and by the University Budget Committee. The wages set will, be an average of the hours worked divided by the hourly Federal minimum wage, said McBriarty. He said students paid in this way will probably not make more than hourly workers overall, and may make less. The use of supplementary pay for employees will be abolished and students will not receive this type of payment. : McBriarty said this change will affect Student Serving Student aids and Campus Escort workers be cause they will now be paid an hourly wage. Previously, both types of workers were paid on a sti pend basis. The stipends designated for em ployees of Student Government and Student Publications will not be affected at ail by the change, he added, . Coffelt stated that no changes will be made in the designation, pay or assignment of dutie,s for Gradu ate Assistants and that the policies set forth represent the only modes of paying University services per formed. Faculty to develop interests during improvement leaves By CLARENCE MOORE Faculty Improvement Leaves for the 1983-84 academic year have, been granted to IS members of the YSU teaching staff. These faculty members include James Conser, criminal justice; Mar garet Gittis, psychology; William Jenkins, history; Nicholas Morte-* llano, mathematics & computer sciences; Carolyn Martindale, English; Rama Krishnan, manage ment; and Anthony L. Whitney, health & physical education. Other leave recipients are Irwin Cohen, chemistry; Ramaswami Dandapani, math & computer sciences; Robert Hopkins, music; Vern Kagarice, music; James LePore, art; John Mason, English; and Ikram Khawaji, geology. All of these faculty members have been granted three quarter leaves, but Ikram Khawaja revealed that he will postpone his leave due to scheduling conflicts that wilLnot allow him to take advantage of his hiatus next fall. Tiiese leaves are governed by the conditions set forth in Articled of the YSU/OEA agreement, members of the bargaining unit (faculty) may request such leaves in an effort to further their educations, carry on research, or secure appropriate pro fessional experience. Each recipient of a Faculty Im provement Leave is obligated to re turn to the University for a maxi mum of two complete academic years following completion of the leave. If a faculty member resigns or retires from the University prior to completion of this two year period, he or'she has to reimburse the salary paid to #iem while they were onjeave. -..^.a^ >, Most vofthe ? faculty5members"" who were contacted for comments concerning their leaves indicated that they planned to do field research in an effort to enhance their classroom performances. Conser said that he would be "developing some expertise with micro-computers, in an effort to apply computer concepts to crimi nal justice." He said he will also publish a second book on "Lost Prevention," and take some addi tional courses in the area of safety and security. Jenkins stated that he was doing research on the Ku Klux Klan's activities; in Youngstown in 1923. Jenkins said the Youngstown Chapr ter of the, Klan helped elect a mayor and six councilmen to office in that year. Krishnan revealed that he would try to study business management practices in Europe and India, Martindale said that she would be studying newspaper coverage of American blacks from 1950 to: 1980, and she would begin to ex pand her thesis on this subject into a book. - Mortellano stated that he would be furthering his studies at Kent State University toward his doctor ate in mathematics.

You'll never learn. To all of you who say you work better under pressure - We say, that's not a bad excuse - actually it's one of the more creative ones. We've always heard it referred to as procrastination. We've seen you only once this quarter. This week. This last week of the quarter when most papers and projects are due. We've seen you in the library -- sometimes behind a book - but most of the time standing in line waiting to run off volumes on the only copy machine operable-in Maag Library. Service has been stepped up there, but maintenance is required upon the xeroxing of so many pages, and when you're running off volumes - that's a lot of maintenance. The service man may be camping out there by now. We've seen you - you have gotten tired- of waiting in line at Maag - waiting in the line in Kilcawley's copy center. But one little machine can't handle one quarter's worth of projects. So it broke. And we saw you running in the snowstorm, frantically protecting your projects from the wet, heading toward Kinkos. Where there was another line. You who have been standing in all these lines so long,.are getting to know each other pretty well by now. And you ~ you who haven't even made it from the xeroxing in the library stage (before research) to the xeroxing in Kilcawley or-Kinkos stage (after research) - we've seen you standing in line in Student Government waiting for typewriters. But you made good use of your time. You studied for next week's finals while you waited. We'll be seeing you early next week in Kilcawley ,or Kinkos ? unless you're still in Student Government waiting. We'll be seeing you next week, anyway, closing down the doors of Maag and Kilcawley at night and draining local vendors of coffee in the morning. WeVe never seen you with so many books before. And we wish you luck. How else would we have been watching you if we hadn't been there ourselves? Commentary: A new/type7 of commentary By JOHN CELIDONIO It seems appropriate that today should be the day we cover a story about the announcement of the location of the high, tech building, because today marks the day when a bit of high tech comes to The Jambar. This commentary is being written on a VDTWideo display terminal }aiid it will later be edited on this same terminal. Some time after that I will use this same terminal to order a phototypesetting unit to typeset what I am now writing. Over the next quarter, and probably on into summer quarter, we wiilbe learning how our new system operates and what all we can do with it. And we will also be phasing out our old typesetting system and gradually phasing in the new system. As we do so, some of you may notice a change in the physical appearance of the paper. You may also notice a few bloopers from time to time, but hopefully we can keep those to a minimum. Some of the type we use will change in appearance, and we will be using some typestyles that we did not use before. Previously, producing the paper involved the use of two different machines: an IBM selectric composer to set body type (what you're reading right now) and a headliner to set headlines. With our new system, all typesetting will be done on the same machine, and all copy and headlines will be entered on our three terminals, from classifieds to inch-high headlines. The system will also let us box ads and stories without the use of border tapes. It has the capability of setting an entire page of the newspaper at one time, thus eliminat ing the need to clip and assemble each page ad by ad, story, by story, and headline by headline. By this point, many of you are probably thinking "so what?" and you're right in that it isn't really going to matter to our readers how the paper is actually produced. What matters, though, is that this new system is going to save a lot of time, time that can be better spent elsewhere: doing more in-depth stories, investigative stories, features, proofing for typos and editing. None of this is going to happen overnight, of course. Training our people is going to take a while, as will simply gaining enough experience and practice to be able to make the most of this sophistica ted new technology. For those of you who are wondering, this equipment was not paid for out of your general fee, but out of capital improvement money released by the Board of Trustees. And it was riot purchased simply because our equipment wasn't the newest and fanciest around, but because our equipment had reached the age at which its reliablity became questionable. If nothing else, writing on this terminal is certainly quite a change from the near antique typewriter I usually write on.

Bob Capp, chairman of the book exchange, .said that students wishing to sell books should bring them to Circle K's office during finals week. The office is in Room 272 (2089), Kilcawley Center, in the student organizations section. Capp says the club will also ac cept books during the first four days of spring quarter. But it pre fers to receive them during finals week, he notes. He points out that books turned in early have a better chance of selling. "Fifty to 75 percent of the sales are in the first two or three days (of the quarter)," he says. Each' student determines the price of his own books, Capp says. If your book doesn't sell at the price, you"set then you get it back.' If a student requests it, Capp says, "the club will hold unsold books until the following quarter's sale. He warns that books left over 30 days without notice will become the property of Circle K, The book sale usually takes place during the first seven days of the.quarter, Capp says. It is held outside of Circle K's office, just down the hall from the bookstore. "We sell over 50 percent of the books that are brought in;" Capp ; says. During winter quarter's sale, Circle K sold over 200 books at an-, average price of about Sll per book. . According to Capp, Circle K has sold over 1600 books over the 10 quarters it has run the book ex change. Although sales have been growing, he says that the least num ber of books are sold in the fall and- the most in the' spring each year. . Capp says that most of the books are general or lower'division books. Although there is a varied selection to choose from, he says, psychology and business books are very common. To date, Circle. K has sold oyer 517,000 worth of books for stu dents. For its service and expenses, Circle K retains 10% of each sale, according to Capp. Capp says that, for the most part, this money pays for the pro motional and administrative expen ses of the book exchange. Any money that may be-left over is used to finance Circle K's other services. These other activities include a weekly collection of material to be recycled and a program *to bring puppies to visit elderly people in nursing homes.

She had only one year left, but she never finished. She is looking for a job, but prospective employers tell her she needs a high school diploma. Tom graduated from high school and would like to go to college. He has been out of school for 10 years and needs to refresh his memory in certain subject areas. What do real people in these situations do? The answer for approximately 150 people in similar situations is the Pre-Employment Academic Ser vices Division of the Youngstown Private Industry Council (PAS Divi sion - YPIC) located off campus. The PAS Division is a training program that is funded by the Department of Labor. It is located in the Engineering Sciences Buil ding and is in operation 1-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. ; Lynne Howell, graduate, Educa tion, is the Director of Student Ser vices for the PAS program. "What we try to do is academically pre pare our participants to enter the job market, and develop within them responsible job skills." Academic remediation is only one service offered by the program. This involves developing skills a per son has or developing potential skills that a person hasn't grasped. Another service provided is pre- training skills. Howell explained, "Maybe a student is interested in the Armed Forces but hasn't done well on the entrance test. We could help him develop the necessary skills to pass the examination." The PAS program also offers pre-college preparation. Interested persons who have failed in achieving a solid academic back ground from high school come to the program for assistance. Howell added that PAS Division clientele are the economically dis advantaged. The two-year-old PAS Division boasts of its success stories. In 1982, 40 out of 41 PAS students who. attempted the General Educa tional Development (GED). test, passed. The GED is a certificate of high school equivalence as prescribed by the State Board of Education. Most post-high school training insti tutions accept this certificate as meeting their entrance require ments, and many employers require, a high school diploma or the certi ficate as a prerequisite to employ ment or promotion. One PAS student says she "felt wonderful" when she received her GED results. She says the program was very helpful in preparing her for the test. "I feel like I accom plished something in my life," she said. An advanced training program is also part of the success story. PAS students who decide that they would like to go to college and have demonstrated high school level skills can go to college with an assis tance stipend from the program. Twenty-five advanced training stu dents from the PAS program are presently enrolled at YSU and nine of them have grade/point averages above 2.5. "The most important benefit that I hope the students receive from PAS is strength in self-confi dence and in attacking academic goals," Howell said. **We try to de- velnn within them the personal skills which will enhance their opportunities in obtaining a job." A staff of 23 keeps the PAS Division running smoothly. There are four administrators and 19 teachers working for the program.

She sees the PAS Division as a "marvelous tran sitional program." Daniel ex plained, "Some students,are going back to.school after being away from school for over a decade.". A student in the program who has been out of school for 28 years i want my high school diploma and this is one way of getting it." But, are the students satisfied? Barbara Miller, PAS student, said, "The program is like a road map. I'm trying to find my strengths which would be the right route to follow." Miller, who has been involved with the PAS Divi sion since April, 1982, said, 'it's a step in the right direction." Another satisfied student says, "I feel like the program is helping me.

But soup kitchens are becoming as contemporary as steel mill closings. Recently, in the YSU area, there have been two new additions to the assortment of food distribution programs in Youngstown. One is at St. John's Episcopal. Church and .ie other is at the Newman Center, both on Wick Avenue near YSU. St. John's opened its soup kit chen Jan. 16 and it is tentatively planning to run it until March 27. According to the Rev. William Brewster of St. John's, the program may be extended, depending on contributions, volunteers and need.

It is scheduled to run for 10 weeks and to be reevaluated at that time, according to its organizer, Chuck Lowry, president of the society's Particular Council. Lowry says the society respon ded to an invitation from the New man Center to?operate a soup kit chen there. He also cited high un employment and recognition of the need in the area as reasons to have the program. One man at St. John's dinner said that he had worked at Mill Creek Park until the city cut back some of its funding. "I'm on wel fare now and I don't like it," he said. "I receive SI 16 a month and I l pay S32 a week rent. That should give you an indication ofhow I get by," he said. The soup kitchen at the New man Center is held 11 ajn. -1 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays. St. John's is .1:30-2:30 p.m.; Sundays. Brewster says that the schedule at ' St. John's is flexible. He says that people start showing up as early as 1 p.m. "This tells me these people have a lot of time on their hands," Brewster says. "Sunday is a lonely day." Brewster says that, for some of the people who attend the dinners, . the need for food is only one of 4heir needs. He says that, along with getting a hot meal, people also get a chance to socialize in a "warm ] atmosphere." , Brewster,, also! says that the volunteers at St, John's try ve; Right now your career is probably your most important concern.

Name '. '. :?: :?. : Address : ________ City : State Zip hard to make people feel welcome and comfortable at the dinners there. As one of the volunteers puts it, -We try to make them feel like they're at our home," One young man, who said he had no income, commented, "It's 'a good program. You can get some thing to eat and you don't have to feel ashamed." According to Lowry, meals at the Newman Center-range from macaroni and cheese to beans and hotdogs. He says that the St. Vin cent DePaul Society supplies all the food for the New'rrtan Center meals. . Lowry says that the volunteers who operate the program each week come from different churches; Within the Society. These people prepare, serve and clean up after each meal, much like in a restau rant. Meals at St. John's dinners range from chili or beef stew to turkey with potatoes and vegetables, accor ding to Brewster. He says members of St. John's parish donate most of the food and volunteer to do most of the work. Spokesmen for both places re port that response to the program has been good. They say an average of SO to.70 persons attend each meal. Lowry and Brewster both state that the majority of people who take part in the programs are single males. However, they point put that some families - and elderly couples also attend the dinners. Lowry says'the soup kitchens are especially helpful to people who don't have the facilities to cook for themselves. One of the diners who said he was retired and living on $320[a month from social security, stated, "I make the best of it and'I don't feel anyone owes me anything." Referring to Gov. Richard Celeste's speech at YSU in early February, this same man said, "I didn't like Celeste's speech. They (government policy makers) put the burden on the poor people and the middle-income people, but not on the big corporations who put the politicians in office." He also criticized cutbacks in educational funding, saying, "Stu dents need education/ if they're going to run the country, if they're going to turn things around."' The atmosphere at the dinners is generally .quiet. . However, at one* table at St. John's the "regulars" get together and frequently discuss politics, Brewster says. For the most part, the volun teers and the diners are polite and courteous. Everyone tends to mind their manners. The volunteers ser ving-the .tables are generally warm and friendly. One of the volunteers who helps manage the program at St. John's says that it takes about six hours to prepare, serve and clean up -after each meal. She says she enjoys hel ping people. "Every Sunday a man comes and brings us flowers," she says. "It's his way of thanking us." Spokesmen for both programs say that donations of food, money and.time are necessary to keep the soup kitchens going. To make a 'contribution or for mpre informa tion, contact anyone at St..

Wick. This is just a small piece of YSlFs historical background that Skardon has presented in his book Steel Valley University; The Origins of Youngstown State Uni versity, which will be out April 1 at the YSU bookstore. Skardon said the idea of writing a book on YSU's history was sug gested to him around 1970 by Pro fessor Hugh Earnhart, history, and Phillip Snyder, director of Univer sity Relations. Skardon said the subject matter interested him be cause YSU is an urban university and YSU's history coincided with his teaching field of urban studies. Serious work began in 1974 when Skardon took a year off from teaching and completely im mersed himself in the book. With the help of student assistants, the bulk of the research was com pleted in that year, Skardon said. Because he was working full- time as a history professor since 1975, it slowed down considerably the process of writing the book. But the final manuscript was com pleted in 1982, just in time for YSU's Diamond Jubilee, and is presently being printed in a Cin cinnati publishing house. The year 1908 is officially dubbed the beginning of YSU, but Skardon found that the Univer sity's history dates back 40 years earlier. YSU's "roots" were linked to the founding of the first Youngs town YMCA in 1868. This first YMCA folded, but a new one was started in 1883 by prominent Youngstown families, including the Wick and Stambaugh families. Classes aimed at elemen tary education and vocational train ing were held in both buildings. According to Skardon, the first college-level class YSU offered was in law. The class, and a later one in mechanical drawing, were "char acteristic of the school since 1888." Skardon adds, "Everything that has been introduced here has been in response to some need of the community." Tlie need for higher education that the YMCA helped fill in the Youngstown area as well as in many other areas of the United States was not" forgotten by Skardon. He says, "The book has duel purposes: to be an institutional history of YSU and to be a con tribution to (the history of) urban higher education. I go into the history of municipal colleges and YMCA schools." Among those universities be-, sides YSU that have become independent of their YMCA founders are Northeastern Univer sity in Boston and the University of Hartford. Skardon says that these commuter-type colleges have an advantage over other universi ties because they attract "a, serious student body." He says that a reason for this is because "the average student is working his way through (college), and he isn't going to waste his time." The book stops in 1967, the year Youngstown University be came a state university. The additions of the Maag Library and Stambaugh Stadium were later chronicled by Skardon in a five- part series published by the Youngstown Vindicator. As for the absence of such items in the book, Skardon says, "I think most people in Youngs town know a great deal about the University in the last 10 years; and it's always difficult for a his torian to write about contem porary events." ? Skardon has previously written Church leader in the Cities: William Augustus Muhlenberg. He has also supplied dates that are of significance to the University for the , YSU Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Calendar. YSU offers police training YSU will conduct two "Private Basic Course Training" schools April 12-June 24 and again Aug. 2- Oct. 15 for special police, security guards and persons employed in private police positions.

The event, sponsored by KCPB, was comprised of two ' distinct shows - "Imaginations," a journey through the realm of our own ima gination, and "New World Destiny," a travelogue of slides through. America combined with futuristic images. Three screens, 12 projections, four dissolve machines, and a com puter, and more than 1300 slides were used to create the special effects. Sohm also used special photo graphy techniques by sandwiching two or more slides together, rapidly flickering the slides on the three Gunther Schuller, Wean lecturer and rag time specialist, conducted the Dana Ragtime Orchestra in a special concert last night in Ford Auditorium in Bliss Hall. ' " Playhouse seeks shows, directors The Youngstown Playhouse Summer Arena Theatre is now seeking a lineup of shows and directors for the coming July season. Those who wish the oppor tunity to direct ?.either pub lished or original material - may contact Alice Weiss at (216)788-8739. Deadline for application is Friday, April 8. screens. "Imaginations" was narrated by William Shatner (of Star Trek fame) and accompanied by the futuristic music of Tomita. Slides of NASA, space flights, and the Star Trek Enterprise were used to catapult us through an ex ploration of our own universe and beyond. Compiled in 1977, the show seemed a bit dated and tended to move slowly. More interesting and visually stimulating was "New World Des tiny." Sohm not only utilized futuristic slides but effectively combined them with images of . America. This show was accompanied by contemporary music by Alan Par sons and Vangelis. . "New World Destiny's" photo graphy was more appealing to the audience. The overall mood of the audience was changed by the type of picture flashed on the screens. Beautiful sea scapes and land scapes of rural America moved us. across the country" from San Fran cisco to the New England states. Sohm said that he believed the most interesting photography in the show was taken in the Southwest and the New England area.; However, "New World Destiny" is not in its completed form yet. Sohm hopes to add more slides to the show and polish'the. entire pro duction for use at the 1984 World's Fair. Sohm has completed four other multi-media projects, including a live multi-media opera and a feature length movie. He has also been published in Omni magazine and Science Digest. His work, sold through Image Bank, is very popular in Europe. Sohm hopes to move his career in new directions and creatively ex plore his own dreams and imagina tion. By SHAREN BISKER The lights.go out, the scenery is taken down and the costumes are stored away. Another YSU theatre production comes to an end. However, the production of Victor Herbert's The Red Mill did not close before its cast and crew presented a theatre workshop for area high school students. The workshop, conducted March 4 in cooperation with University Theatre and the Dana School of Music, attracted over 13 area high schools and 250 students'. Dennis Henneman, coordinator of theatre, has directed the work shop for, the past three, years. Henneman stated, "The emphasis for the workshop is on the students doing and not just watching." The students participated in four individualized sessions consisting of improvisational acting, sceho- graphy, choral sight-singing, and theatre dance. The students were primarily drama students who were interested in learning more about the entire production of a theatrical show. They followed a rotating schedule which moved them from one ses sion to another. One of the sessions experienced by the students was a lesson in improvisational acting. Students were given situations to improvise and act out. Members of the cast taught students to use their own creativity in giving life to a scene. Another session the high school students were exposed to was a les son in scenography. Frank Castro? nova, theatre, scenic designer for The Red Mill, offered instruction on lighting. The students were shown how lighting can affect mood changes as well as changes in time and place. Castronoya showed how differ ent colors such as blues and yellows can affect the mood and change the essence of a scene. The students were also given a lesson in choral sight-singing. Special tutoring was available from Wade Raridon, music- Students were taught the importance of enunciation and diction in a stage production. They were also taught basic vocalization techniques and warm-up exercises. 'We fry to create more theatre awareness in the high schools.' A final session taught to stu dents was a lessor in theatre dance. Students learned dance steps used in the production and were taught the importance of dance in the mu sical theatre. Students were taught warm-up and cool-down exercises espians associated with dance. Students were also shown a variety of styles of dance. They were taught special ballet tech-; niques, jazz steps, and tap dancing basic steps. . . Leah Flock, choreographer for The Red Mill, coordinated the les sons, and was available for indivi dual tutoring. During one of the dance ses sions, one student stated, "I didn't know dancing took so much energy. I'm worn out." By the end of the four sessions^ all of the students were Vorn out.* The students were forced to use creativity in their improvisations, muscles in their singing and dancing lessons, and mental discipline in all four of, the sessions offered. After a short lunch break, the students were treated to a special performance of The Red Mill. They could then integrate all of the techniques learned in the work shop and see the interaction of the different areas of theatre. Henneman stated that the work shop can help area high schools learn more about the theatre and upgrade their high school programs. "We try to create more theatre awareness in the high schools," stated Henneman. "After participating in the .work shop, we hope the students can go back to their own high schools and apply the new techniques to their productions,'' added Henneman. MarcH 11, 1983 AMES, IA (CPS)-Is there "Hair" without nudity? There was at Iowa State when the curtains went up on a student, production of the famed musical that' wowed New York with a brief nude scene when it opened off-Broadway in 1967. The performers at iowa State kept their clothes on, although they had wanted to strip. About nine of the 16 cast members in tlie nude scene had agreed to appear naked, generally saying they'd do it "for art's sake." But the nudity for art's sake was scratched for the sake of ^keeping the university's liquor license. "They're just stifling our art istic freedom," complains cast member Gina Zaffarana. The play was staged at the Student Memorial Union, but an Iowa obscenity law makes public nudity illegal in places holding liquor licenses. Scott Smith, managing di rector of the Union Board Theater, decided the cast would remain clothed to avoid the risk of losing the license. "The county attorney and a re presentative of the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Board said we were in a very, very sticky situa tion, and potentially illegal sit uation," Smith said. When the cast heard the hair- raising news two weeks before opening night, they staged, a de monstration featuring placards pro claiming "Bodies Are Beautiful" and "The End Is Near, Let's See It." - Although the demonstration didn't help the cast's cause, it did boost ticket sales, Smith says. The initial Thursday night perfor mance was almost sold out. "We weren't going to throw it in tlie audiences face," says cast member Bill Heyser. "It would have been very distasteful." "Audience reaction was really good" even to the clothed scene, which occurs at the end-of the first act, Smith reports. The scene, he adds, was designed to present the vulnera bility and confusion of the charac ters. "f think it's a very effective scene still, but I don't think their vulnerability comes through with the scene now," Smith adds. Heyser agrees, believing nudity would have added a,.different mood to the scene. "It would have put the icing on the cake," he says. Pianist featured at concert Mac Frampton, pianist, will appear at Stambaugh Auditorium 8:30 'p.m., Tuesday, March 22, under the sponsorship of Monday Musical Club. Frampton will share tlie program with Marco Valentin Frampton gives 165 concert performances each year. With: the bass and per cussion which accompany him, Frampton has travelled more than 300,000 miles to bring his music to audiences in 38 states, Canada, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. While the usual maximum travel distance between his engagements has been 300 miles, he has been known to drive 700 miles in a single dayy;playing a concert at the end of the drive. Recently; Frampton and his trio played in Ghahran, Saudi Arabia one evening, and two nights later appeared at Boone, North Carolina. Frampton first' appeared as a classical pianist at age seven. Al though he came out of a purely classical background, with Master's and Doctorates in music from Cin cinnati University, he eventually became a pop pianist after entering the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1969. Competing against 17 of the world's finest pianists, Frampton won a bronze medal and was called aside by Van Cluburn, who told, him he should capitalize on his ability to play pop music. Soon Frampton was appearing with the Cincinnati Symphony, the Boston Pops and other orchestras. Tickets for the show, co-starring Valenti, are available at Monday Musical Club's" office, 718 Dollar Bank Building, or by telephone at 743-3771 and 743-2717.

All applications must be returned to SERVICES, 203 Tod Administration Building by April 1, 1983. March 11, 1983 By DAN PECCHIA Late last October, the YSU athletic department needed a job done. The specifications were rather stringent and the time allowance was remarkably insufficient. In exact terms, what the folks upstairs did was hire Jeff Cohen as women's basketball coaches less than a month before the season started. And about those stringent qualifications: The team Cohen took over had just lost its three best players to graduation, was coming off its worst season ever and was embarking on the toughest schedule in the program's history. Cohen was expected to make something good out of this ? with less than a month's worth of pre season acclimation. Now that the season is over, the team has finished proving how tough these conditions were: their 11-16 overall record (40.7 winning percentage) surpassed last year's fiasco as the worst in YSU history. But let's withhold the fingerpointing. There's not a coach in this country that could have built a winning record with the personnel and circum stances shoved on Cohen a few months ago. Never theless, this guy came close. Cohen ranted, raved, complained and misbehaved his way through a season like no other YSU coach ever dared to do, and left plenty of reason to believe that YSU will be tough next year. And he did this under terribly adverse conditions. The reason he was hired so late was that the YSU Board of Trustees "created" a new women's basket ball coaching position at an August meeting. This "new" position was a full-time post, as opposed to 'the "old" one, which was part-time. Joyce Ramsey, the team's coach since its incep tion, refused the full-time job because of its salary, which she said was lower than what the H&PE .department was paying her to teach. So with Ramsey gone, the search for a fill-in was on. After posting the notice for the vacant position and wading through a few technicalities, the athletic ^.department finally named Cohen coach on Oct. 28. The season opener against Arizona was Nov. 27. When Cohen got here, it was much too late to -recruit. So he had to try his handat winning with a ?bunch of women he'd never even seen before. And until the time of his hiring, there had been no coach to even run drills with the team. Ramsey had balked at the position long before, so the condi tioning program was run, for the most part, by the players themselves. Cohen complained about the shape the women were in when he arrived. To improve their condi tion, he began holding practice sessions at 5 a.m. - that's in the morning. Personnel-wise ... well, Shirley Barnett, Holly Seimetz and Denise Schwab ? the whole team test/ year ? weren't around anymore. The lack of leadership hurt the Penguins early, dooming them to lose eight of their first nine games. YSU did very little during the awful start - that is, very little outside of Cohen's technical fouls. See Cohen, page 13 Ky BOB GUGLIOTTI The YSU women's basketball squad could not contend with the blazing 65.2 percent field goal shooting pro ficiency and the high octane attack of Tennessee Tech, as the -Golden Eagles posted a 103-78 triumph over the Penguins in the opening round of the Ohio Valley Conference Women's Tournament at Cookeville, Tenn. Tuesday night. The Penguins connected on 51.6 percent of their field goal attempts, but totalled 11 fewer fielders than the hosts. Freshman'guard Danielle Carson poured in a. seasdn and career high 25 points to set the scoring pace for YSU. The former Springfield Local High School product was successful on 11 of 17 shots from the floor. Also in double figures was point guard Margaret Peters who tallied 14 markers and handed out seven assists. - * Despite a late-season resurgence to respectability to a great degree, the Penguins culminated the cam paign with a three-game losing streak to assemble an 11-16 overall re cord for first-year mentor Jeff Cohen, the worst ledger in the program's eight-year, endeavor, and only the second losing season in that span (they've come in succession). Carson emerged as the unit's top scorer, averaging 12.8 points per outing, and also eclipsed all re- bounders by averaging 6.5 caroms per game. She hit an individual high 151 field goals, and finished second in assists (90), steals (68), and minutes played (870.5). Peters meanwhile, finished second in scoring (12.1 avg.), and led the squad in the' following categories: minutes played (956.5), assists (140), steals (85), free throw efficiency (68 of 103, or 66.0 percent), and games started (all 27). Other noteworthy statistical leaders include Cindy Brunot in field goal percentage (56.5%) and Margaret Porter with 23 blocked shots. The Penguins scored at a 69.6 points per game clip, but their oppo nents total surpassed them Tuesday, as the foes wound up averaging 70.1. One YSU strongsuit which belied its glaring free throw woes was a nearly five rebound per game advan tage over its foes. swimmers set I JANET KEMPER PEGGY DeVALL KAREN WILLIAMS By JOE ROMANO For six YSU women swim mers, Long Beach, California represents the final?and' tough est-length of the highly success- fun 982-83 season. . And that final length in Long Beach is the 1983 NCAA Divi sion II Swimming and Diving Championships held March 16- 19. Co-Captain Karen Williams, sophomore Peggy Devall and a quartet of freshmen?Janet Kemper, Becky MacFadyen, Cathy Sipka, and Lori Greenlee?will make the trip west with the coach Joe Kemper. The meet will take place at the Belmont Plaza Pool in Long Beach, site'of tlie 1976 Olym pic trials. Keeping in sight the fact that some of the girls have experience in big meets, coach Kemper doesn't feel that the team will be awed by the at mosphere. "We are. confident because we have been pointing toward this meet all season long," he says. Kemper says the goal of the Penguins is to finish in the top, 10 of the team standings and to have all six swimmers make the NCAA Division II AH-Ameri. can team. A top-12 finish in each event constitutes All-American status. The Penguins completed the 1982-83 campaign with a-5-3 mark?best in YSU history-and shattered all 21 school ? swimming records. The team . also finished a respectable seventh at the Midwest "Inde pendent meet in Chicago last Feb. 24-26. The record-breaking season was highlighted by the team's four freshmen. Of the 21 marks bettered this year, the four freshmen were responsible for" breaking 17. Janet Kemper's name appears no less than 10 times in the YSU record book (six indi vidual and and four relays). She qualified for nationals in the 50-, 100-, and 200-yard frees; 50-, 100-, and 200-yard butter flies and the 100-yard indivi dual medley. MacFadyen qualified in the 50-, 100-, and 200-yard butter flies and in the 100- and 200- yard IM's. She holds two individual marks and is on relays. \f Cathy Sipka, who owns three records of her own, as well as being . on . two. record relays, made the times in the 100-, 200-, 500-, and 1650-yard frees and in the 200-yd. back.

At the Midwest Championships meet, Kemper captured the 100- yard freestyle championship. Cohen" Continued from page 12 But, following that 1-9 begin ning, Cohen got what he needed most: time. A break in the sched ule of nearly three weeks, gave Cohen what he should have had be fore the season started. And the time helped the Pen guins. YSU won 10 of its next five games and, all of a sudden, had a shot at a .500 season. Sharon Woodward, who sat on the bench two years before Cohen got here, became a basketball player after Christmas break and propelled YSU through the winning surge. Sophomore Margaret Peters and freshman Danielle Carson were forced to mature faster than most people their.age, and came through as leaders. Despite the team's falling apart in its last two games and its subse quent 103-78 defeat to Tennessee Tech in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, there's no erasing what Cohen built in midseason. Wins over Division 1 power Detroit and several- Division II and Division HI top-ten teams show that the new coach did something good. Next season, Cohen will greet Woodward, Carson and Peters when "YSU begins playing in the OVC's regular-season schedule. Along with his returnees, he'll have a few others via the recruiting trail. So next season, Cohen will have the conditions for a good basketball team. But this year, he surely didn't. YSU's Jeff Patterson signs two-year pact with CFL's Montreal club By DAN PECCHIA Hard work has paid off for for mer YSU wide receiver Jeff Patterson. The 5-11, 162-pound speedster has signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Concordes of the Canadian Football League. Patter son said he will receive $47,000 for his first year and $55,000 for his second year. "I'm ready to give it my best," Patterson said. "This is going to be a great experience." He'll report to the Concordes' camp May 19. "We're extremely happy for Jeff. His hard work arid diligence have paid off for him," said YSU offensive coordinator Neil Putnam. "We've always told our players in team meetings about giving their all, and Jeffs always done that." Patterson has been clocked at 4.38 in the 40-yard dash and, des pite his. size, has developed an ability to outduel opponents- for the ball. He averaged 21.8 yards per catch in his senior year last fall. Actually, Patterson wasn't used much by the Penguins. Because of its powerful running attack, YSU used two tight ends for blocking most of the time and rarely threw to Patterson. "We weren't a very good throw ing team," Putnam explained, "but the scouts that came to see Jeff were able to see enough to know the talent was there. "There were a lot of times-when Jeff would run out and the ball wouldn't get there.

March 11, 1983 Patterson Continued from page 13 was there, he always caught it." Patterson said he was contacted by the Concorde representatives last January. Montreal receiver coach Tom Rosseley watched Patterson's game films and soon got him to sign up. Concorde head coach Joe Galat?a former YSU defensive coordinator?discussed Patterson's assets with YSU head coach Bill Narduzzi after tlie' Pen guins' season ended. Before Galat served as Nar- duzzi's assistant, he coached with Narduzzi jis an assistant at Yale University. "All those relationships have a bearing on what a guy can* do when he graduates," Putnam said. "I'm sure Bill holds a lot of credibility with Joe (Galat) and I'm sure he's glad to have helped Jeff out." Narduzzi was in Nashville, Tenn. for an Ohio Valley Conference meeting Thursday and was not available for comment. Patterson, a three-year starter for YSU, returned kickoffs and punts for the Penguins. He also was a threat for end-around running plays.

' "Our biggest problem is the false image of Greek life that students get from the media," Suhey added. Cheryl Evans, Zeta Phi Beta Sor ority president, said that hazing in* cidents have been blown out of pro portion by the media and the Urtaiiy. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity President Dennis DiMartino said that the image of Greek life as portrayed in the movie.Animal House has hurt membership. He said fraternity members in the movie were either "the snivilirig, preppy-type rich creep or the drunken slob'like John Belushi." "Not everybody can find a haven in either of those two (types of fraternities)" he said. DiMartino's fraternity,, over the past decade, has had the smallest decline in membership (5 percent), while Phi Sigma Kappa has had the largest drop (414 percent). Total fraternity membership over the.past 10 years has declined 301 percent. Sorority membership has declined at a slower rate than the fraternities?a 221 percent drop since the 1971-72 school year. Kappa Omega (the old Alpha Omicron Pi) had the largest decline (410 percent), while Phi Mu Sorority had the smallest (18 per cent). Seven fraternities and sororities have folded since 1972, a loss of 202 members.

"WE CARE" the decline in Greek membership ha tKat since this Valley has been a steel industry area, many of the parents of YSU students did not go to college and never experienced fraternity or sorority life. "Since the parents did not belong,to fraternities or sororities, the tradition is not carried on with their offspring," he said. / Russ Brodnan, president of the InterFraternity Council, said he hopes that by publicizing Greek events that benefit the community and the University, the image of fraternities can be changed. Suhey, a member of the Phi Mu Sorority, said that a lack of University support has hurt the Greek system. "I feel strongly that the University does think that a lot of the activities we put on are the beer blasts and all-night parties. They do not understand that we do things for the community and the University " she said. Aside from citing bad publicity and lack of University support as reasons for the decline, many Greek members, like Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority President Ophelia Wooten, said that the economic situation over the past decade contributed to' the drop in membership. "As far as our sorority is concerned, the membership has declined because of a lot of the students at YSU now have to work as well as go to school, and Sigma Phi Epsilon President the decline has leveled off. "As the the students who do have the time Thomas Kurz said that, if the situation stands now, there is no just don't care to get involved," statistics for the past three years are way for us to go but up (in terms of Wooten added. any indication for the future, membership)," Kurz said.
