First day! ITypical' beginning causes few problem's ~or campus

UMSL officials report that they began the new semester with virtually no major problems and on-target enrollment figures .

Despite some crowding in the University Bookstore and at various campus offices, UMSL police indicated that the first few days of t he semester were fairly typical.

"Everything seems to be fi ne," said UMSL Police Chief William C. Karabas . He added that on the first day of classes , his officers noted that only between 100 and 150 of the 6,000 parking spaces available on campus were still unfilled .

"There are parking spaces available , they 're just not always where people want them to be," Karabas said . "They might have to walk a little ."

Karabas said his officers had been issuing tickets for offenses such as students parking in a faculty-staff space, or parking in a fire lane or on the grass. But he said "not too many" tickets had

been issued. Enrollment figures are expec­

ted to be slightly lower than those in the fall 1983 semester , according to Curt Coonrod, act­ing assistant director of admissions . He said that last year 's officia l enrollment had hit l ' .558 students , whereas 11 ,485 students were expected to enroll this semester . He added that as of Aug. 27 , unofficially the admiss ions office had enrolled 11 ,195 students .

" If things go like they are right now, we 'll be almost where we were last year in terms of total enrollment ," he said .

Official enrollment figures are expected to be tabulated near the end of September.

In the office of financial aid , officials said they were kept busy last week and early thi s week .

"As long as they are register­ing and picking up fees , we 're busy," said Idel McCullough. office supervisor. " It was the same as usual. Very , very busy. "

McCullough said approx-imately 35 percent of the students enrolled receive some type of financial aid scholarships . grants or loans .

Students stood in line for , on the average, about one-half hour du ring peak times at the Univer- . sity Bookstore. Bookstore Manager Ken Langston said he appreciated the attitudes of students who had to wai.t. .

"I really admire them," he said. "We didn 't hear many com­plaints. I guess they see what we 're working with and they accept it. "

Langston said that the rush was typical and that his staff hadn't run out of many books .

"The biggest problem is overenrollment of classes," he explained. "That's when we run short of books. But we've done pretty good ."

Langston said it was too early to figure how much money the bookstore had taken in during the rush .

Says job outlook for graduates brightening The current economic

recovery and increasing demand from employers are combining to make the job outlook for 1984 college graduates considerably brighter than it was a year ago , according to Joseph H. Palmer, director of UMSL's Career Plan­ning and Placement Office'.

Palmer, along with many other placement directors , believes the nation is beginning a lengthy period in which the demand for college grad!lates will exceed the supply.

"As the supply of 18- to 24-year-Old studerlts decreases dur­ing the next' 10 years , demand should increase, given reasonably good economic con­ditions," Palmer said .

A generally positive business outlook for the rest of 1984 is reflected also in the College Placement Council 's July 1984 Salary Survey report , which was released on July 25 .

In the year-end CPC report, the number of job offers is higher than last year at this time for nearly every discipline covered . Bachelor's degree candidates in the national survey received 42,393 offers , compared with 33,604 in July 1983. The report covers 167 participating colleges and universities .

For 1983-84, the UMSL place­ment office reported 418 _ job

acceptances among graduates and alumni , down from 554 reported in the previous year . However , the office recorded substantial increases in employer visits, Individual stu­dent interviews, and "immediate" job listings for graduates and alumni , Palmer said.

"By late spring, we could tell that things were beginning to pick up steam," Palmer said. He added that it is difficult to get an accurate picture ofthe number of graduates placed , because many of them , perhaps as many as half, do not notify the placement office when they accept a job.

Palmer said that two of the fac­tors that influence how quickly a graduate finds a job are experi­ence in the field and willingness to relocate .

"We have found , especially with our MBA graduates , that good opportunities may exist in other parts of the country , but the individuals may be unwilling or unable to relocate," Palmer said . He also stressed the value of part-time work, internships , and other programs which give

. students experience in a career field before graduation.

" If all other things are equal , the employer is likely to choose the person who has some experi­ence," Palmer said . He added

that liberal arts graduates who can show that they have taken some business courses, or who are familiar with business prac­tices , have a better chance of get­ting job offers.

Palmer said that the largest share of today 's job offers come from private industry, not from government or social service agencies .

In education, there are some indications that 1984 will be the beginning of a turnaround in tea\.uer placement, according t6 Rosemary Bruno, assistant director of the UMSL placement office. She said that 68 percent of the teacher placement can­didates who registered last year found jobs , compared to only 50 percent the previous year. In 1983:"'84, the largest number of school districts to visit the cam­pus in 12 years scheduled spring recruiting visits in the UMSL placement office, Bruno said.

Bruno also noted that the.Mis­souri Association of School , College and UniverSity Staffing again held its annual "Last­Minute Teacher Placement Day" this year in August at UMSL. Last year, the ASCUS did not even hold the event because the job market for teachers was very slow.

cal education were strong last year, Bruno reported. She noted that the placement rate was 100 percent in business education , math and science, 82 percent in English and 80 percent in music .

Although Palmer is optimistic that the economic reovery has improved job prospects for graduates , he noted that starting

salaries are flat and are likely to remain so.

"A significant difference in this upturn, compared with pre­vious increases in college re­cruiting activity , is that starting salary offers are remaining fairly stable, with employers generally projecting a modest 3 to 6 percent increase," he said .

Job placement service offered

The Career Planning and Placement Office will offer two orientation programs for seniors and graduate students interested in positions in busi­ness , industry and government today and tomorrow from 12:15 to 1 p.m . both days . The sessions will be held in Room 222 J.C. Penney Building.

Services provided by the office include listings of immediate job vacancies , opportunities to interview with campus recruiters , and sugges­tions for successful job hunting. The fee for registering with the office for one year of service

is $10. Some olthe companies which

will be interviewing students this year include Mark Twain Bancshares ; Mercantile Trust; Dillard 's/Stix, Baer and Fuller; Laclede Gas Co. ; Price Waterhouse; Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Co .; and the U.S. Government Accounting Office.

Students are welcome to bring lunch to the afternoon meeting .

Why are a lot of college men and women becoming buddies in Army ROTC?

Probably because Army ROTC is full of the kind of people other people go ou t of their way to meet.

ROTC students tend to be high achievers who are interested in more than their studies. They're popular students w'ith a serious side, but who like to have a good time, too.

In other words, when people join Army ROTC they often meet people a lot like them­selves.

KWMU finalizes plans for regular ambisonic broadcasts

KWMU (FM 91) has just finalized an agreement with Audio and Design/Calrec thqt enables the station to begirt regular am bisonic broadcasts , according to station officials .

KWMU, the public radio sta­tion at UMSL, made history in May by becoming the first station in the United States to air ambisonic programs , and the station has continued to do so on a limited basis. KWMU will now be first in the country to broad­cast regularly in the two-channel UHJ ambisonic format , begin­ning in the fall .

Ambisonics is a "surround sound" recording and broadcast­ing system which engulfs the lis- • tener in 360 degrees of sound, using sophisticated circuitry and a special microphone. The sys­tem's goal is to reproduce a per­formance with a level of realism unattainable previously. Ambisonics was invented in England approximately 10 years ago. The British Broadcasting Corp. airs ambisonic programs routinely , but the system has only recently gained attention in

the United States , KWMU officials say.

Listeners who wish to gain the full effect of ambisonic sound must use an ambisonic decoder , second stereo amplifier and a second pair of speakers . Those not decoding the broadcasts still receive conventional stereo or monaural , depending on their listening systems.

Through a loan purchase agreement KWMU will use the state-of-the-art Soundfield Mic­rophone MK IV, UHJ transcoder, pan/ rotate unit and ambisonic decoder to record and air all of its live or live-on-tape concerts , which consist of classical and jazz music . The station also plans to produce ambisonic radio theater and will air UJH discs and compact discs as they are available, station officials say.

''I'm excited about doing more ambisonic broadcasts ," said KWMU Production Director Barry Hufker . "We have received a very good response frem our Isteners , and other broadc asters who want to experimeni with their own ambisonic recorrling ...

• • • editorials Some friendly advice ... to" freshmen

Hey you ... over in the corner of the cafeteria .. . yeah , yo·u. Don 't!ooknow, but your freshman status is showing!

How could I tell , you ask? After you 've tried so hard to look inconspicuous all week long?

Well , an upperclassman just knows these things. Like the way you went into the wrong classroom this morning. You thought sure it was the right room. But I saw you back out quickly, the teacher glar­ing at you for interrupting. You 've only got one parking sticker on your car, as well. Upperclassmen know that you never remove a parking sticker, no matter how many accumulate . It 's a status symbol. It was obvious, too, when you bought your lunch today. You thought (it was only logi­cal , after all) that the cheeseburgers were wrapped in gold foil. Wrong again .

UMSL is a new experience for you. I un­derstand. But if you want to be happy here, there are a few things you need to learn:

First of all, remember that "Good things come to those who wait" - and wait, and wait and wait! You waited in line at petitioning. You waited in line to buy your books . You 'll wait to receive your grade on

that big psychology test. And at the end of the semester, you 'll wait to learn whether or not you passed. You 'll wait for them to -establish a Big Eight football team here at UMSL. You 'll wait for the parking lots to be repaved .

But if you 're smart, there are a few things you won 't wait around for .

You won't wait to register . Preregister! That way, 10-to-1 you 'll avoid waiting in line at petitioning. You won't wait to file applications for financial aid . You won't wait to talk to yuur professor after missing class on the day of a test. You won't wait to see how many parking tickets you can rack up before buying a sticker. And you cer­tainly shouldn 't wait for that friendly­looking student sitting across from you to say hello . Start the conversation yourself!

Secondly, remember one of Murphy 's lesser-known laws : You know you 're in trouble when everyone is laughing but you.

To avoid being the only one not laugh­ing, make sure you know all the answers. Where to find them? All right, listen carefully.

"

Talk to your academic adviser to find out the scoop on your class schedules . You wouldn't want everyone else to graduate without you just because you forgot to take Underwater Basket Weaving I ... a little­known requirement.

Talk to the friendly folks in Peer Coun­seling, Room 413C SSB (that's the Social

_ Sciences and "Business Building, you know) . They can help you with pressures only students can understand , as well as test-taking tips , relaxation techniques ,

and much more.

Visit the Information Desk in the University Center to find out about things like bus schedules, campus offices and organizational opportunities .

Stop by the Student Activities Office Room 250 University Center, for informa~ tion about student groups and services such as carpooling, as well as a quick, cheap copy of your best friend's biology notes at the PX Copy Center.

If you want to get rid of some of that ner­vous energy caused by too much studying, talk to someone in the Intramurals Office in the lobby of the Mark Twain Building. They'll get you going with volleyball,

touch football, swimming, kayaking, bowling and golf, for starters.

Or if you'd prefer to lose your 98-pound weakling reputation all by yourself, you can work out in the weightroom, on the racquetball court or at the pool at the Mark Twain Building.

There are many other campus services and opportunities just waiting for you - at the Women's Center in Benton Hall, in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs at 301 Woods Hall (check there for information on programs for disabled and minority students), in the SWAP office at 346 Woods _ Hall (they'll tell you about job oppor­tunities) and all around the rest of the campus as well.

Most importantly, remember that old adage , "You'll get out of this experience what you put into it ." It's true, you know. It 's your responsibility to make the next four (or five or six) years pleasurable and worthwhile . Don't wait for things to come knocking on your door. Go out after what you want and need!

And remember - the cheeseburgers are in the silver foil.

The parking meters were a recommendation from the Park­ing Committee, a chancellor­appointed • organization comprised of students and faculty members .

TAKING IT EASY: Students take a break from classes to enjoy a little friendly conversation.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN: As always, the first day of school includes long lines at the University Bookstore.

Gallery 210. begins its new season Gallery 210 at UMSL will begin

its 12th year on Sept. 4 with an exhibit of intaglio prints by con­temporary Czechoslovakian artist Jiri Anderle.

The exhibit, "Conversations with the Masters : Intaglio Prints by Jiri Anderle," will continue through Sept. 28. The gallery, located at 210 Lucas Hall, is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

The 32 works in the exhibit are on loan from the Jacques Baruch Gallery of Chicago. Anderte has been called "a man of artistic vir­tuosity and a profound world view to correspond with it" by ArtReviews critic Lucia Adams . The works date from 1966 to 1982. All are of intaglio techniques combining etching, drypoint. mezzotint and brushed on copper.

The artist' pays homage to the grand masters - Michelangelo, Vermeer, David , Caravaggio and others - not by copying or reworking the original paintings, but by using them as a starting place for his recurring .themes such as the passage of time, the ultimate prese!lce of death , and

humanitarianism, according to guest curator Jean Tucker. She says that the brilliance of work from this master of "peintre-

. graveur" and the numerous his ­torical references should make this exhibit of special interest to art and art history students , as well as to the general publi c.

The new director of Gallery 210 is Tom P.atton, assistant pro­fessor . of art, who joined the UMSL faculty in the fall of 1983 to teach courses in photography. He succeeds .Sylvia Walters, who accepted a position as chair of the art department at San Fran­cisco State University .

Patton announced that the following exhibits will round out the 1984-85 season in Gallery 210:

-Oct. 3 through Nov. 5 -Hamady 's Perishable Press

-Nov. 12 through Dec. 7 - New Directions in the New Decorative

-February through March -Exhibit to be announced

-April 6 through May 3 - Cul­ture and Record: 19th Century Photographs from the University of New Mexico Collection.

Bookstore rush is over Mike Luczak features/arts editor

Students who still haven 't had time to get books for their classes are advised to bring their schedules and ask for help in finding the right books from bookstore employees rather than help themselves. Many students get the wrong books for their classes as a result of helping themselves .

"Peak hours were Monday and Tuesday of this week," said Ken Langston, manager of the bookstore, "and most of the rush should be pretty well over."

The deadline for returning course books and receiving full refunds for them is Sept. 10. In order to receive a refund, tho.ugh, it is important for students to remember to keep all their receipts, since no refunds will be given without receipts . It is also important for students not to write or mark in their books, Langston said.

Almost all course textbooks are in stock now; very few books are not in yet, unlike in past years, and bookstore employees report that they are receiving new books every day.

"The only problem we have is with books running out because of overenrollment in classes," Langston said, and it is advisable to get books as soon as possible because it often takes time for new books to come in.

In addition to offering general school supplies, the bookstore has college jewelry (including class rings), pennants, car decals', calculators , jackets, sweatshirts, and other insignia items available . Commence­ment announcements , caps and gowns are also ordered through the bookstore.

The bookstore will be closed on Monday, Sept. 3, for Labor Day.

ILa Dolce Vital at Tivoli;' KETC airs I Jolson Storyl Nick Pacino film critic

As this is the first column of the fall, I should explain how the column operates . I critically preview upcoming films, rather than review them. They may be scheduled at such sundry sites as the Tivoli Theater or the St. Louis Art Museum, or on a television station.

By what standards do I judge a film to be a Classic or Near Classic? My method of assess­ment is obviously an arbitrary one. with no pre­tense that mine is the decisive verdict on any film . And yet my evaluation involves more than personal opinion and a sincere affection for the vintage film genre. For I think that film , like other art forms , can be critically appraised for generally recognized qualities .

Classic films are those that include the more profound subjects, like war , peace , love or hate; those which the human intellect can digest in order to acquire discrimination, comprehen­sion and a broadmindedness . Each film , in <;; ngular fashion , broaches the continuing essen­tial problems with which humans are confront­ed . And since these universal problems are never totally resolved or explained, a Classic is an intellectual adjunct to other more routine sources of knowledge.

Classic films are unique productions whose . quality and elegance show that they are patterns of perfecti'on and shoul~ be judged Classic whether they are films of drama, comedy, west­erns or science fiction.

The provocative nature of Classic films naturally leads to different levels of understanding by both critics and viewers . This seeming inconSistency is not a veiled reflection on the Classic film; rather, such diverse views compiement one anothe), while permitting the audience to learn the universality of the film from a variety of sentiments.

Most Classic films must pass the text of his­torical perspective. But it is not the mere pro­gression of time that makes a film Classic , as it was Clas.sic to begin with . Its protracted pop­ularity only reinforces a Classic's nature . I may feel that a current film is a Classic, but I could not be certain. Time is the conclusive judge.

Many Classic films are difficult to completely understand the first time . Thankfully, most are also very entertaining and can be watched over and over. This is also why Classic films are beneficial - for the more a subject has to be thought about, the more a subject is worth think­ing about. Because Classic films promote issues without discernable solutions, they incite us to think, be curious and debate. Because they defy our acknowledged bias and our ingrained beliefs, they can help. us to improve our critical

skills . Now, on with the pr~views: The Tivoli' Theater is presenting a number of

Federico Feflini films in the coming weeks , and is showing the 1961 Classic "La Dolce Vita "

. ("The Sweet Life") tonight only.

film classics

This film serves up an emotionalistic perspecive on the degenerate lifestyle of con­temporary Roman. culture. It stars Marcello Mastroianni as a 'zealous reporter for a tabloid specializing in the sensational.

Fellini uses this simple plot to showcase a number of startling, uninhibited episodes, as his stalking newsmonger flushes out all the wicked­ness he can find in his fellow humans . The jaded journalist reaps his reward when a close friend 's suicide becomes a media event for his colleagues .

"LDV" received the Grand Prize from the 1961 Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award for costume design (blaCk and white). To en­hance the bargain the other double feature is "Fellini 's Roma," an excellent production from 1972, which starts at 6:30 p.m. "La Dolce Vita" begins at 9 p.m.

Saturday at 10:30 p.rri ., KETC (Channel 9) pre­sents "The Jolson Story," a 1946 Near Classic which loosely depicts the life of the great jazz singer, Al Jolson. He died in 1950 and was the Sinatra of the '20s and '30s .

Directed by Alfred Green, "The Jolson Story" stars Larry Parks in the lead role, Evelyn Keyes as his wife and William Demarest as his show­business manager. This is superb musical­storytelling, one which reaches the essence of Jolson and how important he was in the enter­tainment world .

The action follows Jolson from an adolescent vaudeville singer to his Broadway triumphs. The'story line is effectively used to stage most of Jolson's well-known tunes, belted out by Jolson himself, but perfectly lip-synced by Parks, whose portrayal of Jolson is uncanny in both musical and dramatic scenes. ~

The score by Morris Stoloff and the sound recording by John Livadary both earned Academy Awards.

Coming attractions: A Susan Hayward Classic and a William Powell "Thin Man" festival.

Short Subjects: For more Film Classic pre­views, listen to "Sunday Magazine" on KWMU (FM 91).fr,om 10:30 to 11:30 p.m.

The memories of school keep haunting him Mike Luc zak features/arts editor

Upon hearing the simple word "school" the other day, my heart began beating faster , my palms broke out in a sweat, and my stomach turned somersaults. It seems like all my life the word "school" has haunted me.

1 remember as a young boy how Iwas first tricked into what 1 now know as education . It all started with my mom and 'l watching Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on a show called "Sesame Street." It wasn't a bad show, really , but 1 was always skeptical of why my mom insisted that we watch it. Little did 1 know 1 was being con­ditioned into learning.

Now not very long after I began watching "Sesame Street ," my

mom also informed me of yet another show called "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." With Mr. Rogers 1 learne'd that it didn 't make any difference what the weather was like because it was always a won­derful day in the neighborhood. Since he seemed like the kind of guy 1 could trust , 1 believed him, and found myself wanting to learn even more.

As you might imagine, it wasn't long before 1 became addicted to watching both "Sesame Street" and "Mr. Rogers"with almost the same sort of enthusiasm and regularity as "Bugs Bunny" and "Daffy Duck." 1 guess, looking back now, I should've known bet­ter than to let guys like Big Bird and Mr. Rogers control my mind, but it all seemed so harm­less and I was enjoying myself. Soon 1 would be going into kin­dergarten "like a big boy" and 1 could hardly wait.

Uniuersity Center Patio or lounge

Kindergar ten turned out to be great. 1 didn't think it was going to be great at the start, but after buying my first lunch box with

column Big Bird on it , 1 couldn't help but feel secure. I went to school with my head held high and my shoelaces untied and it wasn't long before I was meeting new friends.

In kindergarten I couldn 't have been happier. Almost all I ever did was play and color and go to the bathroom, and 1 was a pro at all three. If this was what schpol was supposed to be like, then 1

figured 1 would go for the rest of, - my life.

But then the fun ended. The next year 1 went into the fi rst grade, and was promptly given my first "textbook." A textbook, 1 learned , was a book with very few pictu'res and things. called "exer­cises" on almost every page. 1 remember how disappointed I was in finding that exercises could also be done without physi­cal exertion. What disappointed me even more was that playing was called "recess" and it wasn't done quite as often as it had been in kindergarten.

It was also in the first grade that 1 was introduced to my first tests, Qn which I was either given smiles for doing well , or frowns for doing badly. 1 hated frowns,

so 1 worked hard to do well , and most of the time it paid off. All the while, though, I began to hate school. Since 1 was now con­sidered a "student ," 1 was expec­ted to do my best , or else repeat first grade over the next year. It was scary to think of getting frowns on my papers, so I focused on doing my best, and in the end, I passed .

As time went on, 1 entered higher grades and was even­tually given the incentive that if 1 did what was expected of me, then 1 would only have to go until eighth grade. It was a long wait, but 1 finally finished eighth grade only then to be informed that 1 would have to enter a place

Fonner KWMU broadcasters value experience Joanne Quick asst. features/arts editor

In today 's competitive job market, students often find a college degree isn't enough. Ex­perience, it seems, is what agen­cies and companies are pleading for.

After working at KWMU, three UMSL graduates, Rich Kuen­neke, Richard Green and Kevin Killeen, moved on to KCFM, an awarding-winning radio station .

Kuenneke, who was the KCFM news director from November 1981 to May of this year, is now at Southern Illinois University­Carbondale, completing his com­munications degree . Green is now the news director and Killeen became a reporter in January.

The four-person news staff at KCFM won the Missouri Associated Press Broadcasting Spot News Award in 1983 for their in-depth coverage of the 1983 Welsh Baby Carriage Manufac­turing Co . collapse.

The AP based its selection on the depth of the coverage, how well the story was kept up to date , and the extent to which the sta­tion brought the story to the AP's attention.

"The AP awarded KCFM over KMOX and other news stations because KCFM was dedicat"ed to helping the AP with that story ," Green said .

"It 's a question of who calls the

called "high school." It was in high school that I

became what was called a stu­dent number , which when I thought about it, was even more degrading than being a student. In high school , they found out how smart I was by determining my grade point average. Deter­mining my grade point average could only be done by a com­puter. It was then that I learned what was meant by computer error.

Computer error , I learned, was even worse than human error . When the computer made an error it didn't know how to change its mind; so a human had to help. Since being a human usually meant to err, though , helping the computer hardly ever worked, and as a result no one was able to find my grade point average.

There was a man, however , who could try to find my grade point average , and he was called a guidance counselor. My guidance counselor, it turned out , was also there to help me in all school matters , about which he was supposed to know everything. My guidance coun­selor knew virtually nothing, though, - or if he did know some­thing, he couldn't explain it to me anyway - so after my freshman year I never went to him again.

In high school, the only thing I had going for me, it seemed, was the fact that I would only have to put up with it for four years , and afterward, if I wanted to, I could quit. I promised myself then that I would do just. that.

But something went wrong. After 13 long years of schooling, I guess I went insane because I ended up in this place called "college." In college, I've learned that baSically I'm on my own. I've also learned that the world is broader than I ever imagined it to be, and it's easy at times to become lost in it.

So, are you still wondering why the word "school" haunts me the way thatitdoes?Well, Iguess you could say that after all these years, it's sort of academic.

AP first," he said, "and since they give out the award , they want to give it to "a station that cooperates with them and acts as their eyes and ears for a given story." "

KCFM had almost every avail­able reporter covering the collapse at one time or another

"In fact, our weatherman, Ben Abell , was one of the first per­sons down there ," Green said . "We even had an exclusive report on a fatality that occurred during the collapse .

Green feels that the award shows a sign of a trend forming for KCFM, but not for FM as a whole.

The AP took 41 broadcast con­tributions from KCFM during June - more than any station in eastern Missouri , except KMOX, has submitted in recent years .

"Stations like ours are excep­tions," he said. "Our general manager, Graig Hodgson, has a commitment to the local news," Green said. -

The news staff has added another reporter and will have an additional satellite newsroom in September.

"Since our ratings are going up and our personnel is really going up , the general quality of the sta­tion seems to be mushrooming, too," Green said .

Green apd Killeen feel they have their jobs at KCFM now because of the training they got at KWMU.

ON THE AIR: After first broadcasting at KWMU, Kevin Killeen . (left) and Richard Green broadcast at KCFM.

Green's advice to UMSL com­munication students is:

"Throw yourselvejl into it all the way and look for all the opportunities you can. Don't be afraid to work long, late hours. That's the only way you're going to learn (at least as far as the radio station is concerned) if you want to be on the air consistently.

"Make a lot of friends , because those friends will get jobs even­tually and may playa role in hir­ing you. "

"KWMU isn't little league; it 's like Triple A, right befor the Big Leagues," Killeen said .

Kuenneke, Green and Killeen were each on the Student Staff and then the professional staff at KWMU.

"I worked for nothing on the Student Staff during the odd hours and on the weekends, then the professional staff incor­porated me into its daytime ,pro­gramming," Killeen said ,

Eventually Killeen got paid for what he was dOing as a student

for free. "At KWMU," Green said, "you

can make initial mistakes . And if you don't make too many, they 'll keep you on and appreciate you -maybe pay you some money."

KWMU helped prepare Green for his career by making him aware of a professional attitude .

"When you 're on the day staff, you realize that radio demands certain things. You have to pre­sent yourself in a professional way because you 're in the public eye - or public ear maybe," he clarified .

Killeen remembers his most valuable experience as "the repetition of doing newscasts on the Student Staff in the wee hours of the morning when there were probably only 12 people

. listening." "I could fine tune my announc­

ing skills', because the audience was more forgiving ," he said .

Killeen recalls John Schies­zer, acting news director and reporter, as his most influential co-worker.

"He was a good editor and he told me to write for the ear," he said.

Lorin Cuoco, announcer-producer, and Jim Carl, former announcer, talked with Green about developing a style and encouraged him to try new things .

"Their attention was on train­ing the student," he said.

McFetridge maynot keep Daniel A. Kimack sports editor

He is still hoping, but it is unlikely Greg McFetridge will don the soccer Rivermen's red­and-gold jersey. The second­year goalkeeper could be forced to pull on the ill-fated redshirt, instead .

McFetridge, who led the Rivermen to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 2 playoffs last season, underwent surgery to remove a chipped bone in his elbow prior to the season and recuperation has been slow.

"It's still real stiff," he said. "I'm taking therapy three times a week, but the movement just hasn 't come back yet.

' 'I'll just have to wait and see how fast it will heal. "

McFetridge, however, doesn't have long to wait. The Rivermen kick off their season Saturday against Missouri Southern University in Joplin , Mo.

Undoubtedly, he will miss the season opener, and then some. McFetridge will be granted approximately two weeks into the schedule to decide whether or not to redshirt tl)is year .

"There is a real good chance that I'll have to sit this season out," he admitted. "I'll know more in a couple of weeks ."

McFetridge won the goal­keeper pOSition from incum­bent keeper Scott Graham during the 1983 campaign, starting 11 games. The junior more than proved himself with a record nine shutouts and a 0.73 goals allowed average ; he was a big factor in pushing the Rivermen to their 12th con­secutive · NCAA Division 2 playoff appearance.

"He 's had some problems from time to time," Coach Don Dallas said . "It's a day-by-day situation. "

Dallas , who has guided the Rivermen for 18 seasons, is dis­appointed McFetridge may miss the 1984 schedule, but he isn't disturbed.

Dallas, with a iifetime mark of 135-63-23 at UMSL, re­cruited two of the area's top goaltenders during the off­season. Keepers John Stahl (Lewis and Clark Community College) and Jeff Robben both come to UMSL with high honors.

"We didn't - recruit the

goalkeepers because of McFet­ridge's problem," Dallas explained. "We didn't know he would have surgery during the off-season.

"We felt the other two keepers had good hands, and the way things have turned out, it's real fortunate we got them."

• Last season at Lewis and Clark, Stahl was selected as a junior college all-American. At Rosary High, Robben earned a spot on the Missouri High School Select All-Star team. But it is Stahl, Dallas said, who has the inside track at this point.

"They both have good credentials, but we are leaning to Stahl because of his experi­ence on the junior-college level," Dallas added. "Both are capable of stepping in right now and doing tire job."

And that, certainly, pleases the Rivermen faithful who expect the Rivermen to return to the NCAA Division 2 playoffs for season No. 13. Lucky 13?

Dallas returns seven letter­men from last season's 13-6 club. Forwards. Steve Hoover (seven goals , six aSSists), Scott Huber (three goals , one assist), and Chris Nelson, backs Joe K.ortkamp and Tom Wilson, midfiedler Tom .Olwig (eight goals , four assists) and McFet­ridge all were letter winners last year .

Hoover, Kortkamp, McFet­ridge , Olwig and Wilson started last season, and Kortkamp and Olwig are 1984 co-captains.

"Those are the two guys we need to lean on," Dallas said .

And Kortkamp, an all­Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association selection last season, will anchor a de­fense Dallas believes to parallel · last year's stalwart back line that allowed just 21 goals .

- Greg McFetridge

Joining Kortkamp in the backfield are top recruits Dave Abeln , Bart Andert, Tom Bielicki , Craig Westbrook and Glenn Zipfel. Mike Brancato and Ted Hantak (forwar.ds), and Paul Bielicki, Matt Holloran and Joe Osvarth round our Dallas' recruiting coup.

Dallas reaped the area's junior colleges during the off­season. Tom Bielicki, Osvath and forward Scott Skrivan hail from Lewis · and Clark Com­munity College; Westbrook, Andert and Holloran transfer from St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley; Zipfel, Abeln and Brancato cross over from St. Louis Com­munity College at Meramec; and Ted Hantak, Forest Park's high-scoring forward , come to UMSL. ~

With 11 junior college transfers , and a strong high school crop, the Rivermen possibly are stronger than last season.

Lost from that club are Frank Finklang, Kevin Fryer, John O'Mara , John Palett , Mike Pieri and Lance Polette. Those six players were starters , and Polette (11 goals) coupled with O'Mara (12 assists) were lead­ing scorers.

"We 've got a lot of quality players ," Dallas said . "We will miss Polette and O'Mara , but we had our best recruiting season."

Fortunately, two goal -keepers were included in the bunch. McFetridge was sen­sational after stepping in dur­ing the '83 campaign, but Stahl and Robben both have outstanding credentials.

"They are both excellent ," McFetridge said. " If I can play this year, great. If I'm redshirt­ed, I'll be ready .for next season."

7here is a real good chance 111 have to sit out this season. '

MIAA conference: UMSL kickers ~ead surging pack Daniel A. Klmack sports editor

The football Cardinals were practicing down below the win­dowed banquet room, and a slick waiter was hustling a round of beers to the coaches, athletic directors and VIPs. Proficiency and execution were everywhere.

The Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association held its second annual kick-off press conference Monday afternoon in the Green Room of the Stadium Club at Busch Stadium. Observing the sur­roundings - black-tied waiters , drinks , hors d'oeuvres and the bustle of professional football - you knew something was up.

And up , indeed, is the image and expectations this season of the MIAA soccer conference -UMSL, Northeast Missouri State University , Southeast Missouri State UniverSity and the University of Missouri­. Rolla .

"I would like to applaud the MIAAfor its interest in soccer," said Bob Burnes, master of ceremonies . "The MIAA is , what I like to believe, the hot­bed of soccer in St. Louis and Missouri. "

Burnes, former executive sports editor for -the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, should know St. Louis soccer. He has been here since the beginning. He has seen the MIAA grow into its status of national recognition at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 2 level.

"With the number of St. Louis ·players spread throughout the MIAA, the conference keeps getting stronger," Burnes added, noting 80 percent of the players in the league hail from St. Louis backgrounds.

Betting your last dollar that the four coaches of the MIAA schools agreed is smart money, too. And the athletic directors smiled. The only two athletes in attendance, co-captains Tom Olwig arid Joe Kortkamp, sim­ply nodded and turned to watch the Big Red.

Maybe the two kickers knew what came next. The coaches would be introduced to walk the audience through their programs.

And, much like last year, the focus was on UMSL - despite the tardiness of Coach Don

Dallas, who· was detained because of work comm'itments. Last year, the three other MIAA coaches pouted about their weaknesses compared to the Rivermen's strength.

Monday, though, the other schools were pleased to report strong teams and even stronger schedules. All three MIAA " clubs spend a large part of the 1984 schedule opposing Divi­sion 1 programs." UMSL was picked as the area's top team, but SEMO, NEMO and Rolla all are ready to challenge.

"Every year, programs in the MIAA get better and better," Dallas said. "The teams get tougher and there are great coaches. The schedules get tougher too."

Following is a team-by-team synopsis of the MIAA soccer conference and coaches ' views on the upcoming season:

UMSL The Rivermen were cOc

champions in the MIAA race during the 1983 campaign with a 2- 1 standing, and finished 13-6 overall . A repeat perform­ance , at least, is the '84 " prediction.

Northeast was also 2- 1 in the conference, but a poor early season start by UMSL allowed the Bulldogs to share MIAA honors . It is possible, but unlikely , that the Rivermen will suffer such a letdown this season.

"The reason we have such a good program here is because we have excellent players and "excellent assistant coaches," Dallas said. "But this year we have more new players than in previous years ."

Lance Polette, the MIAA's leading scorer last year with 11 goals and four assists, is gone via graduation. And keeper Greg McFetridge may miss the season because of injury after heading the conference's list of goaltenders in '83 with a 0.73 goals against average.

"We had to go out and recruit some players," Dallas explaine<t, noting 11 junior college transfers that were all standouts, "and we are lucky to get the players we did ,

namewise." UMSL led the MIAA in every

offensive and defensive category last year, and despite returning just four starters, it is unlikely the program will suf­fer much of a lapse. " Also, the Rivermen lead all MIA A teams in playoff appearances in the NCAA Divi­sion 2. UMSL will try to lengthen its streak of 12 con­secutive berths this season.

NEMO Northeast returns the heart

of its 1983 lineup with Don Basler and Steve Schlichtig (forwards), Dan Hogan (back) and Stan Dippel (goalkeeper). The Bulldogs completed a 10-6-2 record last year.

If any team in the MIAA will challenge UMSL this year, it will be Northeast, based on

/ returning lettermen (13) and returning starters

Dippel received Division 2 all-America status last season (the first NEMO player ever), while Hogan and Basler earned Division 2 all -Midwest honors . Schlichtig, the B,ulldogs lead­ing scorer with 10 goals and six assists last year, won all MIAA accolades in '83.

"I feel good about this team;"

said Coach Greg Hantak. "De­fense should be a strong point with physical , aggressive per­sonnel , including an all­American goaltender.

"How well we play (on the road) will be the true test of the typ~ of team we'll be this

"season," he added. "We'll find out what we're made of in a nine game stretch between Sept. 12 and Oct. 20."

This is lIantak's first year at Northeast. He is hoping a long road schedule and a schedulE." that includes many Division 1 teams will not be a hindrance

In all, the 13 returning players led the Bulldogs to their best record last year under Coach John Guffey. Guf­fey laid a sound foundation which Hantak can build on, and NEMO will be one of the better MiAA clubs, and one of the Mid­west's best Division 2 teams.

ROLLA Things are looking up for the

Rolla Miners, who finished at 10-9 overall last year and 1-2 in the MIAA. Sixteen lettermen · return this season, and Coach Paul McNally is excited.

"This is the first team I have ever had to look up to," the 5-

foot-8 coach said. "The soccer program here has come another step, but we may not be ready for what we have done ."

What Rolla has done is upgrade its schedule tremen­dously. Along with the MIAA portion of the schedule, Rolla will challenge six Division 1 schools.

"We are very strong on de­fense, " McNally said. "Goalkeepers Ben Birch and Doug Trail are back, along with all-America candidate Kevin Keenoy at one of the defender spots. Brian Dickerson and Paul Morgan will anchor the midfield."

Offensively, the Miners return leading scorer Keith Vandersteen (nine goals) to the lineup, and are counting on for­ward Mike Lane to complement him.

McNally said Keenoy has possible professional talents, and will serve as co-captain with wingback Dickerson. Keenoy gained all-Midwest and all-MIAA awards last year .

"Virtually roy entire team is from the St. Louis area," McNally said. "We have taken some strides this season and in the past, but we still have a way to go."

McNally said he would be really enthused if all his players passed first-round

Debbie Lewis forward

Daniel A. Kimack sports editor

Riverwomen soccer coach Ken Hudson must have thought his job was going to be a bit easier this year. After losing just three letter winners from last season's 13-3-2 club, the returning mem­bers seemed primed for another trip to the National Collegiate Athletic Association playoffs .

But Hudson had a substantial amount of preseason work to do .

"This team will be different from teams in the past ," Hudson said, noting the addition of several high school recr.uits. "It 's a young team and I hope the new players can fit in right away ."

Of the 18 players who will dress for the season, six are freshmen and four are sophomores . And five of those freshmen , all lightning-fast, could take over starting roles .

" It will also be a different team from the past in te'rms of speed," Hudson explained. "We had some fast women before, but now the best speed on the team is with people who can finish with the ball and score.

Two of those finishers are freshmen recruited from area high schools. Forwards Kathy Guinner and Kathy Roche are expected to complement veteran Neen Kelley on the front line. Both were blue-chip prospects in the S1. Louis high school circuit.

Guinner played for Riverview Gardens High last season and overtook every girls ' scoring record in the state, being named to the Missouri Select team . Roche paced Rosary High to the Metro Tournament cham­pionship last year, but was injured during tryouts for the Se­lect team. Both have walked into starting positions .

"Roche had a bad knee over the summer and isjust starting to get back into shape ," Hudson said . "Guinner has excellent talent and works hard .

"Those two girls are a couple of the quickest I've ever seen."

Debbie Lewis, an all-America forward last year, is having prob­lems . recuperating from damaged knee ligaments. When she is healthy, she is as good as anyone and will nail down a per­manent position.

In fact , the Riverwomen have three returning all-America

choices. Along with Lewis , sis­ters Jan and Joan Gettemeyer were picked for the team in '83 -and in 1982 and in 1981.

Jan (back) and Joan (mid­fielder) are entering their senior seasons as three-year all­Americans , a very prestigious club. Those two, along with Lewis , have largely been respon­sible for the instant success of women's soccer at UMSL, too.

Banded in 1981, the ' River­women have qualified for the NCAA playoffs all three years and have reached the semifinals during their first two' seasons . Last season, the UMSL women were eliminated by George Mason University (1983 NCAA runners-up )6-2 in {)pening-round play.

"I think our record ,. and the fact that we have three all­Americans returning, helped us with our recruitment this off­season," Hudson said . "They' (incoming players) know that this won't be a rebuilding year. They know the program is well­established and the girls are coming in with the intent to beat out the starters."

Other top recruits include midfielder Kathy Casso, and backs Sue Daerda and Michelle Frederiksen. , Casso will take over the left halfback position this year, allowing Joan Gettemeyer to move to wing halfback. Get­temeyer, who notched 10 goals and seven assists last season, was second in scoring behind

THE 1984 RIVERWOMEN SOCCER TEAM: First row (left to right) - Karen Guelker, Kathy Casso, Micki Frederiksen, Susan Daerda, Mallarry Smallwood, Kathleen Kelly, Teresa Nappier, Joanie Church, Second row - Theresa Klaus, Kathy Roche, Marie Zarinelli, Jan Gettemeyer, Leslie Mirth, Ruth Harker, Kathy Guinner, Joan Gettemeyer, Marcie Zarinelli, Debbie Lewis.

Lewis , 13 goals and three assists .

"Everyone marks Joan," Hud­son said. "When we move her to wing, it will open up the middle and give . her more room to operate at the same time."

Daerda will inherit the stopper position from Leslie Mirth , who will switch to wingback. Daerda, Hudson boasted , can mark any striker in the NCAA.

Frederiksen is a freshman from Hazelwood East and has the potential to push incumbent Theresa Klaus and Mirth at wingback. However, she needs more time to adjust to the UMSL soccer leveL

All in all , 14 letterwinners return from last season, and that 's quite a number to juggle into the top newcomers crop.

Heading that list , which includes the three all ­Americans , is goalkeeper Ruth Harker. Harker ' had seven shutouts in 16 starts last year and owned a 1.06 goals against average . She will be backed up by Sue Latham , who had one shutout in two starts last season.

And , like several other River­women, Harker is trying to return after orthroscopic knee surgery during the off-season . Hudson, though, expects her to be at her best for the 1984 schedule.

Other returners include Karen Guelk'er and Theresa Napier at midfield; Mallarry Smallwood , Marcie Zarinelli and Marie Zarinelli, and Barb Murphy at forwards ; and Eva Kennedy and Theresa Klaus at backfield .

Players lost from last year include Karen Gettemeyer, Sue Paul and Angela Wegman. Paul and Gettemeyer were back­fielders and Wegman was a for­ward. Paul was the only starter in the bunch .

"I feel confident we can .win and possibly make the playoffs again ," Hudson said . "But we 'll know more about that a little bit further into the season.

"As far as reaching the semifinals of the NCAA playoffs , that all depends on how the new players come around ."

In other words , it depends on how much work the experienced and inexperienced teams alike did this preseason and throughout the season.

The nucleus is there for the women, and a slew of new re­cruits could bolster an already­strong team for Hudson.

Rech victorious in battle, fills roster void Jim Goulden reporter

The UMSL volleyball team has yet to serve, spike or set a ball this year, but it has already won a big battle. Two weeks ago the team was fielding a roster of seven players , barely enough to start a game. Now the team is up to 10 players and hoping for more .

Coach Cindy Rech had visions of improving on last season 's record . But her mind was drawn away from winning for a short time, fearing that she wouldn't have enough players to survive the season.

However, help was on the way: . "Last week two girls joined the team, and we received another one this week," Rech said. "I'm really happy too , because they· are very skilled , and won 't require a whole lot of teaching."

Rech also recruited two blue­chip prospects , delving into the Hazelwood School District to shore up some holes in this year's team.

Chris DeHass , from Hazelwood East, comes to UMSL with a winning background . East has advanced to the Missouri

THE 1984 RIVERWOMEN VOLLEYBALL TEAM: Head Coach Cindy Rech started the year with just seven players, but,looking at the above team picture, it is obvious she has filled out her roster. The Riverwomen are banking on the help of some blue-chip recruits. '

Class AAAAA state finals the last two seasons with DeHass being a big contributor to both teams, including the 1982 team which won the state crown. "Chris is real gaod, and we can use her as either a setter or a hitter," Rech stated.

The other star recruit is DeHass ' archrival, Sharon Morlock of Hazelwood West. "Sharon was All-Conference last year, and has already proven to be our best jumper on the team," Rech mentioned. Rech also

added that these two girls come from winning programs and she hopes that they can inspire the older girls.

Rech has noticed· a change in attitude over the last couple of weeks in practice. "Now they don 't have to worry about some-· one getting hurt and not having enough girls to play, which is a bit of relief," she said. Rech hopes for further changes in attitude from last year, too. "There were times last season where we were in the lead , and

the girls would think 'Hey we aren't supposed to win,' and then all of the sudden, we would lose 15-13 or something like that," she explained.

Two of the players Rech will rely on to reverse this trend are Lisa LaPlant and Julie Christie, who were key membe'rs of last year 's team. "I'm real pleased so far with the team . I think we 're stronger this season than we were last year, and we might sur­prise some teams this year," 'Rech said . Rech also admitted

that she would like to avenge some of last year's losses .

The Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association is going to do little to help out the River­women in their attempt to climb to the top of the conference. Rech pointed out that although the other teams all lost some key players , they will all be good anyway.

"Central Missouri State University is the team to beat. They advanced to the national tournament last year, and they 'll be strong again ," Rech said . Realistically , Rech hopes to finish in the top three of the-con­ference and to end up with a record above .500 in overall play.

The indians struggled through a weak 4-7-2 overall record last season and were dcormats in the MIAA at 1-2. With only four returning start­ers back from that group , SEMO will have to blend incom­ing players qu ickly.

"We have a whole new team this year," Coach Bruce Wis­mann said, "but it is the most balanced group we've ever had here in terms of freshmen , sophomores , juniors and seniors.

"After four years of coaching at SEMO, one year's graduation won't affect us season to season. "

With the strength and balance of the MIAA, however , it is unlikely that the Indians can make a strong showing in the conference this season. What they will gain is experience .

"I hid the 1984 schedule from the players until last week," Wismann said . "Eighty percent of our schedule consists of Division 1 schools this year."

The Indians must get help up front this year after scoring just 14 goals last season. Defen­sively , Powderly will be strong in the nets and the incoming recruits have good speed in the backfield .

Rauch pulls recruiting coup Four of the top high school ten­

nis players in the North County area will enroll at UMSL 'next season, - Coach Rich Rauch announced.

Rauch, who won eight Subur­ban North championships and one state title while he was ten­nis coach at Hazelwood Central High School , went back to his old school to recruit Tom DiBlasi and Brad Compton, and also got

commitment~ from Kelly Chris ­tian and Steve Kliethermes of McCluer High School.

Another outstanding former Hazelwood Central player, Steve Wille , transferred to UMSL from Murray State a year ago , and should be eligible this season after sitting out a year in com­pliance with NCAA rules .

Rauch was appointed men 's tennis coach at UMSL last sum-

mer , too late to do any effective recruiting and his first team suf­fered through a 1- 16 season. However he feels the five new players "will make UMSL re­spectable which is the first step toward eventually winning a championship:"

DiBlasi , Christian and Klither­mes all qualified for the Missouri Class 5A championships last season.
