His first 'job' came about two years later
when he worked on an 800-foot ore hauler
on the Great Lakes. From there he crossed
the country and headed for Alaska, where he
worked, among other things, as a hand on a
fishing boat and as a bartender. He spent the

 "I feel pretty good for drinking a fifth
of Vodka," he said. "I really can't recall a
lot of details of last night. Mainly I just
remember walking through crowds and
crowds of people with a big smile on my
face."
Will he be back next year? "Oh yeah.
It's he said. "It's a good time,

a good drunk. It's the best party in
Southern Illinois."

In 1983, the party started early.

The pregnant nuns, krishnas, trans-
vestites and assorted creepy creatures
began making appearances at happy-
hour specials Friday afternoon. Several
costumed carousers joined the crowd at
the Jackson Browne concert later that
night and when Jackson peered into the
audience and asked, "Does Halloween
really last all weekend in Carbondale?"
the answer was unanimous.

42 Halloween

Tailgate partiers were out early Satur-
day to get a good spot for the football
game. The No. 1-ranked Salukis tore
apart New Mexico State, the fans tore
down the goalposts and once again
was partytime in Carbondale. The victory
celebrations outside McAndrew Stadium
carried right on into the night, when
about 20,000 revelers descended upon
South Illinois and Grand Avenues in the
midnight madness known as Halloween
— Carbondale style.
Police Chief Ed Hogan said
though the crowd on the Strip Friday
night was one of the smallest he had
seen in several years, the mass of masked
merry-makers Saturday night was one of
the largest he has witnessed.
"I think things went marvelously," the
chief said in the wee hours on Sunday.

Halloween
The Great
Alternative
The Hair Lab was not closed on Hal-
loween weekend like most nine to five
stores on the Strip. Instead, a small group
of mostly middle-aged people was sitting
inthe shop's styling chairs; others stood
holding their jackets and drinking coffee.
When the bell above the door rang, the
newest arrival was greeted with a hug.
Looking around the happy group, it
was hard to image that these people
would soon be walking in front of nearly
15,000 screaming, drinking partiers with
a giant wooden cross and a banner saying
"Jesus Heals Broken Hearts."
These people were part of the Great
Alternative, a program which various
Christian groups started to give the Hal-

The Resurrection Band, whose mem-

Christian music as another part of the
Great Alternative. Roger Lipe of Carbon-

was to bring the message of Jesus Christ."
Lipe said the band was paid by various
churches, ministries or para-church
groups like the Student Bible Fellowship.
The leader of the group at the Hair
Lab was Fred Bishop of Du Quoin, an
evangelist who has traveled from the
New Orleans Mardi Gras to communist
countries spreading the message of Jesus.
"The people don't need as much
preaching to. What they need is an op-
portunity to talk," Bishop told the group
inside the Hair Lab. The shop, smelling
of hair tonic,was crowded and humid
with bodies. Most people were sitting
Indian-style on the floor looking at
Bishop.
"We're going to need some big guys
up front to hold the cross and make a
spear," Bishop said. This would allow
them to move through the crowd better,
he explained.
Bishop asked how many people were

Football was foremost in many minds

Salukis could pull off their tenth straight
victory of the season against the Illinois
State Redbirds. As the Salukis ran off the
field with a 28-26 win, the fans ran off
the field with the goal posts yelling "SIU!

About 17,000 spectators witnessed the

The SLA's role in

the New Student
Orientation Program.

The typical Student Life Advisor is a

student clad in maroon shirt and white
visor who helps new students move in

and gives tours of campus.

But SLAs are more than just luggage
haulers and tour guides. They help new
students adjust to SIU-C.
"One ofincoming students' biggest
concerns is how
they are going to find
their classes," said Carole Byers, sopho-
more in visual communication design.
Parents and new students explored old
and new campus with an SLA who
pointed out buildings and points of
interest.
Barbara Schook, graduate student for
student orientation programs, said stu-
dents are not so lost when they start

school because the tours benefit students

by directing them to class buildings.

 MALEIKE

Another successful orientation activity
was "Time Out at the Rec," which
"presented a part of the University that
students, hopefully, will use frequently,"
Schook said. At least 2,000 people at-
tended this event, which gave informa-
tion about the Student Recreation
Center.
At the "Priority One Open House,"
another activity that at least 2,000 stu-
dents attended, students danced to live
music and met other new students.
The Watermelon Fest, the Ice Cream
Social and the Meet Your Dean programs
were also offered to new students.
Though activities play an important
role in the positive force of the orienta-
tion program, the SLAs play a more im-
portant role, Schook said. A good SLA
will guarantee student participation. A
good SLA must be enthusiastic and proud
of the University.

 "SLAs make or break the program,"
Schook said.
SLA Susan Allen, junior in administra-
tive sciences, said most new students are
somewhat nervous and apprehensive
when they first arrive at the University. It
isthe SLA's duty to try to make each
student feel comfortable by the end of
the week.
An SLA cannot treat every student in
the same way. Some need more atten-
tion and more time to adjust. "Each stu-
dent is individual," Allen said, "and you
have to make a personal orientation for
each student."
According to Tom Allen, coordinator
for student orientation programs, SLAs

SLAs must also have an awareness of

students feel when they come here."

Not only did Byers meet more people

 but she also learned more about SIU-C
as a school, she said.
"Being an SLA, I learned a lot about
myself and gained a lot of self-confi-
dence," Allen said. She still keeps in
touch with her students and, during
orientation, organized activities with her
students that didn't concern orientation.
SLAs are not the only people getting a
reward from the program. Mark Vershay,
transfer student in paralegal studies, said
the program was very informative. "I

campus tour," Vershay said.

One group of people that no one
hears about is the Team Captains who
come six days before orientation begins
and give the SLAs helpful knowledge of

the orientation program. They take SLAs

on campus tours and teach them the
ropes of being an SLA.
"An SLA is to a freshman as a Team
Captain is to SLAs," Byers said.
The orientation program looks at the
transition studentshave to make, Schook
said, and creates a more detailed, elab-
orate welcome for new in-coming stu-

dents.
"We see orientation as a significant
thing for freshmen," said Allen. During
this period freshmen will begin to won-
der whether college or SIU-C is for
them. He said orientation helps keep
students at SIU-C.

The 11th annual Cardboard Boat Re-

sures headaches for administrators and
promises hangovers for generations of
students to come. Perhaps David Letter-
man, the crowned prince of late-night
comedy, sums it up best when he spouts,
"This is more fun than human beings
should be allowed to have."
The boat regatta became what one
friend labeled a "nationalmedia event,"
though the racers didn't make it past the
network editing rooms. Media from St.

and all local network stations pulled out
roadmaps and fol-

Sometimes it takes an event like Spring-

It is also events such as this that teach

us amazing things. For instance, we have
a sophomore in advertising who can wolf

 Clean-up of brush and removal of
honeysuckle undergrowth to enhance
safety by improving lighting in Thomp-
son Woods was one-third completed
when the project was halted because
faculty and students voiced concern
about possible harm to the woods.
John Cuyon, vice president for aca-
demic affairs and acting president in the
absence of President Albert Somit, called
a moratorium on the clean-up work until
environmental impacts could be fully
studied.
Clarence Dougherty, vice president for
campus services, said the honeysuckle
vines were "choking out the woods"
and removal would "obviously prolong
the life of the woods."
University professors worried that the
clean-up would alter the 15-year study
of squirrels on campus and remove rare
plants along with the honeysuckle.
The University purchased the woods
in 1940 from Lovina Thompson on the
condition that the area remain in its

natural state.
The reformed Natural Areas Commit-
tee allowed removal of honeysuckle al-

ready cut by Physical Plant crews and

removal of dead branches directly above
paths.
The committee formed a long-term
management plan for the woods and
adopted a policy for future care of the
woods. The policy stated that the woods
be "returned to a condition characteristic
for a site of this type in southern Illinois

and to permit natural processes to take

their course," said Robert Mohlenbrock,
professor of botany and committee

A group of Illinois private university
administrators — Educators Concerned for
Quality Performance — asked the state in

November to include academic perform-

ance in awarding state financial aid.
Under the group's modification of the
Illinois Academic Scholarship Program,

college-bound high school seniors in the

upper 5 percent of their class would
receive ISSC aid ranging from $250 to
$1 ,000 a year for up to four years. The
program would aid more than 7,500 high
school students. Students could apply
for additional aid through the Illinois
Monetary Award Program.
SIU-C Chancellor Kenneth Shaw sup-
ported the proposal but said it could
cost the state $14 million to $20 million

the ISSC. "We ought to favor a program

 Jared Dorn, assistant director of inter-

of international students do not feel hos-

in the United States in number of foreign
students in 1982-83, would not have the
high enrollment of international students
if it had a reputation of being an un-
receptive place.
"This is not a very hostile area," Dorn
added. Even during internationally tense
times, when outbreaks have occurred
on other campuses, SIU-C has remained

Phillips, president of the Indian Stu-

medical technology from the University
of Notre Dame in Indiana, and expects
to receive a master's degree in micro-
biology in December 1983. She is now a
doctoral student in microbiology.
Four of Phillips' sisters were married
in the United States. Because she was
the youngest and the only one left at
home, she and her mother came to
Indiana where one of Phillips' sisters
lived.
Language was not much of a problem
because she always spoke English at
home. Phillips said she thought feeling
at home in the United States would be
hard because she came from a conserva-
tive family. Her new friends in the dormi-
tories at Notre Dame helped her feel
comfortable by not making her feel like
an outsider.
"They made me feel a part of the

complained about lack of public trans-

dents. Few have cars and, with no bus
service, they are not able to go far from
campus and their homes.
Sometimes Thien gets tired of the Car-

Thien, like many international students,

Keith Cook made $19,000. The course is taught by Lyle Solverson,
an associate professor in agribusiness
economics, and deals with financial spec-
ulation on everything from farm prod-

The idea is to buy futures' rights to a
commodity at a low price and sell it at a
set future date when the price has,
hopefully, risen. Or one can take an op-
posite position by selling a commodity
for a high price and buying it back in

the future for a lower price.

The futures market deals in contracts
of a certainamount of a commodity
bushels, pounds, ounces or whatever
unit it is sold in. Traders rarely take
possession of the product. They just buy
and sell it.
According to Solverson, more than
three-quarters of all real life commodity
traders are losers. His theory was proven
during a semester of the trading game.

money to meet the margin, a security

To get back into the game, Stitt nego-

Kevin Eames, the "high roller" of the

A Dreamer
and a Genius
To people who are sensitive to the
freshness of ideas and the pressure of
mental design, Richard Buckminster Ful-
ler was one of the most significant men

of our time. To others he was alternately

frightening and incomprehensible. To al-

most everyone he was puzzling.

Fuller, 87, died July 1, 1983, at Good
Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. His
wife, Anne Hewlett Fuller, died early
July 3. She was also 87.
Known to his acolytes and fellow tech-
nocrats simply as Bucky, he made head-
lines as an architect, engineer, inventor-
designer and mathematician. Yet Bucky
was none of these by profession. He was
a maverick of design, a dreamer and a
"free-lance genius" who saw the world
as something more than the sum of its
isolated parts.
Bucky once said of himself: "I live on

The Year
in Sports

The omnipresent red ink spilled over onto the athletic de-
partment, forcing officials to ask for an athletics fee increase.
Declining enrollment and a drop of nearly $100,000 in state
revenue caused University officials to raise the fees. This was
needed to prevent a potential debt of $400,000, Bruce Swin-
burne, vice president for student affairs, said.

Initially, a $5 increase was anticipated for the 1984 fall se-

mester, Swinburne said, but that was before the budget situation
and repairs for athletics were looked at closely.
A $10 boost was the next plan; of that 20 percent would have
gone into repair, replacement and modernization of programs,
would have been used for operating costs, and students
would have been granted free admission to all Saluki sporting
events.
This plan was turned down by the USO, who said because of
on-campus housing, health service and tuition increases, the
athletics-fee increase would have to take a back seat.
Therefore, the alternative $8 increase needed a Board of
Trustees ratification to maintain the diversity of SlU-C's athletic
programs.
"This increase is not really to improve our budget situation,"
Swinburne said, "It's to hold it where it is."
Swinburne broke the fee increase down into $2 to be used
for the repair, replacement and modernization fund, which
would leave $72,000 in that account. However, the remaining $6
would still mean a slight decrease in operating costs.
Upon approval of the Board of Trustees, the $8 increase was
scheduled to be implemented for the fall 1984 semester.
Additionally, plans to hire a special fund-raising official for
athletics were "progressing" at the start of the spring 1984
semester, said Swinburne. The primary responsibility of the
official will be to raise funds for the athletic department.

Dream Came Dogs' J
True
Sometimes dreams come true.
The dream of a championship season
for the Saluki football squad started after
last season's disappointing 6-5 record.
Talk of making the NCAA l-AA playoffs
in 1982 surfaced after the squad ran its

record to 3-0.
After a last-second defeat to Arkansas
State in the fourth game of the season,
the Salukis dropped their next three
games before rebounding and winning
three of their last four games to bring
them above the .500 mark.
After the 1982 season, former Saluki
Coach Rey Dempsey said the team com-
mitted itself to winning the 1983 l-AA
championship.
In 1983, the only Saluki "losing streak"
lasted just one game, a 28-6 loss to
Wichita State in the season ifinale that
ended a dream of becoming the first

Saluki squad to be 11-0 during the reg-

ular season. The loss dropped SIU-C
from the No. 1 ranking after the squad
had held the top spot for three weeks.

The SIL) Men's Rugby Club has been sporting the finest
brand of rugby, both on and off the field, since their inception
in 1973. Their reputation as barbarians is well known to the bars
and women of Carbondale. Their accomplishments speak for
themselves and include a long list of academic scholars who
have excelled in a wide range of careers. The club has never
had a losing season and sports a 112-20 record since 1980, with
numerous tournament titles and awards to their credit. The
1983 club kept up with tradition and was ranked as one of the
top 20 university clubs in the nation.
Unmatched in their skills, the SIU ruggers have a
partying
tradition ofspending post-game Saturday afternoons engaged
in a mad carnival of suds, song and a few brave women. The

weekend warriors stumble home in the wee hours of Sunday

morning to heal their wounds and become "couch potatoes."
The SIU Rugby Club is open to all "real men" (no quiche
eaters) who are interested in having a good time and learning
the great sport of rugby.

recreational and sport sailing. The club's two acre site on Crab
Orchard Lake and eleven Flying Junior sailboats are used to
instruct students through SIU-C classes, and the club's own
training program. Once certified, members are allowed to use
the facilities whenever they wish during the sailing season.
Aside from instructional and recreational sailing, the SICSC
also participates in inter-collegiate racing through the Midwest
Collegiate Sailing Association. In the fall, the club hosts the
annual Halloween Regatta for the MCSA, and this spring the
Midwest Dingy Championship was held at Crab Orchard Lake.
