(t(tI Want My Check!" Financial aid i8 often the

factor that keeps students in college. Take away the financial aid and the student drops out. Summer jobs help a little, but of the few available, fewer pay well enough to cover the expenses of a year at college.

Glenville admini8trators . have been patting the

Financial Aid Office on the back for doing a great job, but student8 offer a different oplDlOn. Many uppercla88-men were unable to return this year because there was no aid available to them, lOme in spite of the fact that they have demonstrated greater need.

Even students who were able to return have experienced financial aid difficulties. According to August Kafer, director of financial aid,. approximately forty notices were sent to various students reminding them to turn in their Student Aid RepOrti to avoid getting their Pell grants revoked.

During conversations with several of these 8tudent8, most claimed to have turned in the forms already.

Other student8 have had problems with other lost forms. Some have had to repeatedly fill out forms 8tating that they did not file a tax return last year or that they have registered for the draft. l'here are other problem8 and incidents too. numerous to li8t in thi8 8pace.

In all my years at Glenville, I have never heard 80 many complaints about our financial aid office, nor have I ever experienced 80 much inconvenience mY8elf. I'm 8ure there are explanation8 for all these problems, but like so many other students at GSC who are still waiting to find out if they are getting the money or not, I don't Afant an explanation. I want my check!

I remembered a time when I was about their age that a neighbor of mine and I fooled around with a Ouija board. I guess I was too skeptical to take it very seriously, but as we experimented with it, my friend used it as a form of p8ychotherapy. She was able to "talk" to or about a departed friend and found comfort. That was positive.

Glenville State's Pioneer football team fell to 1·5 Saturday with a 26-0 108s to the Salem Tigers. The setback from the d efending WVIAC champion Tigers left the Pioneers with a 1-3 conference ma~k.

Seven Glenville turnovers proved pivotal in the contest, •• Salem converted three Pioneer turnovers into Korel. Salem kicker Barry Childers set a Salem record by booting four field goale in the conte It.

some impressive passing numbers despite the shutout. The qua r terback duo of Chuck Wharton and Mitch Pantak combined for 13 of 26 passes for 153 yards. This total though , was pretty much negated by a minus 81 yards in sacks.

Gordon Stevens was the leading rusher for the Pioneers with 25 yards on eight carries while William West led the receiving corps snagging four passes for 57 yards. Todd uyhew led the defen8ive charge with a total of fifteen tacklel.

Pioneer strong safety Bill Dunn is one of the veterans of the Pioneer defense, and his experience has been coming through this year for the gridders of Frank Vincent. Dunn has intercepted a pass each of the last three weeks.

Dunn, a junior from Mount Pleasant, Pennsylva­nia, has been a stellar performer on the Pioneer defense each of, the last two seasons. ust year he picked off five enemy pa8se8, and has three this sealOn. "Team8 are throwing my 8ide a lot more, and they ;Ire running deeper routes," Dunn remarked.

He has adjulted to defense well in college, considering he wal an offensive performer (running back) hil senior year in high school.

P.S

Jesse' s -Place Ba.ebaU's return to

Glenville remains a contro­verlial illue. I am still receiving feedback from an article that I wrote three weeks ago about why baseball is not economically feasible.

Lall week at lunch John Lamb was passing aroand a petition for those wanting the return of baseball. When he got to me he said "Don't give it to Jeue, he wrote an article against basebllll." It is obvioUi that he didn't catch the point of my article. I am not agaiOlt baseball; as a matter of fact, baseball is far and away my favorite profes­lional sport. During lummers, I must read the baseball boxlCores at least an hour a day in order to be functional. There is a major void in my life from October to March and by the same token, there is a major void here at GSCdue to the lack of baseball. That article was

written strictly from an econ­omical standpoint.

Baseball is a sport that requires a little money, and the insurance problem in the Athletic Department has caused its return to be vir­tually impos8ible. To be blunt about the whole­situation, all we have here are two major sports (football and basketball) and a hand­ful of sports that don't cost very much (volleyball, cross country, golf, and track). We are getting by with what we can afford at this point.

I would love to have about 15 athletic programs at GSc. Perhaps expansion wiU occur if funds grow in the future. Until then, we should give credit to guys like Johnny Lamb who are active and caring enough to provide student input.

West Sticking With Volleyball by J esse Skiles

Kim West ' has ' seen the Glenville volleyball progr~m go through many changes. Through it all, she has remained a top-flight player, despite many off the court issues.

West and teammate Myrtle Conley are the only three­year members of this year's squad. As a matter of fact, they are the only girls who have any college experience to speak of. She began pia yin 1983 and has been a fixture in the lineup ever since. She was also a member of the 1985 team that was dissolved after three weeks of practice. Lookin~ back, West says

that 1984 was her most enjoyable year. "That year

;jP:

\,\£\l)lt Kim West

we only had six people, but it was really fun. We never got down on ourselves," West said. She addressed the 1986

team by saying, "We are better than our record shows. Because of our inexperience we make some mental mistakes, but I guess that is to be expected."

West defined her role on the team by stating, "I am primarily a setter. I usually get the second hit, and my responsibility is to set up the front line people. A good

• setter will get many assists, just like a point-guard in basketball."

Kim's strong play may be around for another year. As of now, she plans to use her remaining season of eligibility in 1987. This is excellent news for coach Kay Chico.

The Pioneer defense hung tough playing much better than the S:CQre indicated.

Volleyball Team Has Tough Week

Volleyball action last week wasn't very kind to the GSC Pioneers.

Kay Chico's squad dropped two matches in an outing at Alderson-Broaddus Monday, then they lost two more matches Thursday in ~ home contell.

At A-B, GSC lost to Salem by ,cores of 15-5 and 15-10. Then, A-B blitzed the Pioneers, 15-1 and 15-5.

In action at the GSC gym, the Pioneers played much better but still came up on the short end. Glenville won the first game with Wesleyan, 15-8, but Wesleyan prevailed in the next two by identical scores of 15-11. Then, Concord sandwiched win­ning scores of 15-4 and 15-1 around a 15-5 GSC win.

This Thursday, Glenville,

the WVc, will host A-B and Salem in a " p.m. match.

1986 Karwwhachen will be distributed again next week on a limited basis. Distribution will be from 10 a.m. until2p.m. daily. There will be no distribution this week due to photography seaeions.

Pioneer Marches

Pride On!

This year the Glenville State College Pioneer Marching Band celebrates its fortieth year. Under the direction of Mr. John McKinney and Mr. Harry Rich, this band steps onto the field as one of the best bands Glenville has ever marched.

According to Mr. McKin­ney, the band excels in many areas, but mostly in their willingness to work, the quality .nd qu.ntity of the lOund they can produce, and the pride they h.ve in themlelve •• nd in the b.nd. The l.tter i. prob.bly the mo.t import.nt because pride help. provide the energy th.t 80 m.ny h.lf­time viewere love. "Without

a doubt," Mr. McKinney remarks, "this is the best marching band I've ever worked with or known at Glenville State College."

But pride and greatness never come without hard work. The marching band meets four (and sometimes five) days a week to work on music and shows. The average week includes about ten hours of work and preparation. But the work is rew.rded in every half-time and pre-game show when the "Pride of the Pioneers" takes the field.

H you are interested in being a part of the GSC Marching Band, you are encouraged to talk to Mr.

Play Directing "It i. baeically wh.t I

expected. Good h.nds-on experience. It i. enlighten­ment in both directing .nd technical .reas," .. ys John Curran, Jr. of his play direct­ing class. He and Mary Ross are in the rehearsal stages of their final directing projects. After months of looking for the right scripts, casting the right actors, drawing scene designs and finding crews to help, the directors settle to their task of actually direct­ing.

"It'8 tiring but fun," states Ms. R08s. She feels the fun part i. wh.t she expected; the tiring p.rt i. the long houre m.king .nd dietributing po.ters .nd sched uling rehe.r..... She h.d worried th.t becaule me, too, was • etudent, her .ctore might not reapect her ••• director. "But

that hasn't been the case. My actors have been very helpful."

Mr. Curran feels this experience is good for giving one insight into all .reas of puiting on a show. After the audience's good receptions to Ross's Sganerelle, or The Imaginary Cuckold and Curran's Cowboy Mouth, attendance is expected to be good for their next shows.

Between the two directing students, many years of experience has compiled. With extensive hours put in at Fairmont's Theatre Div­ision, Ross has done assistant directing, m.ke-up and worked on v.rious technical crews. Her experience is v.ried. "I wae even a turtle once." Some .how8 behind her ,!ore B.w Stop, Hamlet, .nd The Corn u Green.

Class Presents Shows Curran views himself as a

jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none. He has acted on the GSC stage and in high school, has assistant directed, stage managed, and worked on technical crews. Some shows backing his experience are Our Town, Cheaper By the Dozen, and Godspell.

Theatre director and in­structor Dennis Wemm suggests to these two that they start a project about a week before the show. To retain .. nity and allay the all-consuming nervous jitters, he advises "reading that book you've always wanted to read." But when the curtain goes up, the director's job is finished. It's time to 8it b.ck and revel in the mir.cle you've created.

Speaking

I have a question to ask all my fellow students at G.S.c. With this question hopefully I will embarrass every high school Harry on this campus. First, a definition of a high school Harry is someone who packs on Wednesday, complains all day Thursday, then Friday "big day" puts the G.S.c. t-shirt and the old varsity jacket on and dashes home to the Friday night football game to brag about how much fun it is at college.

-.::r"-.::r"""~""~""~~..!Io""'..!Ioo'3l ... "'_ by Tony Watkins For support of this theory I

have the weekend count of on campus students eating in the cafeteria for the G.S.c. -Shepherd football game. 183 students stayed in the dorms, subtract 50 football players, 68 band members, 16 student workers, and 3 cheerleaders, total 137 students, which leaves 46 people with 3A of them being out of state students. I did not include R.A.'s, office workers, and a few others.

"Who am I? What can I do for myself that is right? HI can't do things for myself, then how can I do the right things for anyone else, especially God?" These were the biggest questions weighing down my mind throughout high school. By the time my senior year was almost over, the burdens that were created by my feelings of low self worth almost led to the worst conclusion of self deltruction. There seemed to be no reason for being. My grades took a drastic fall, because I would just go to echool and stare into space and come home and fall asleep to keep the days from lasting too long. Even one of my greatest loves in the world, music, meant nothing to me, except an easy 'A' in class.

I needed dearly to find myself, but in8tead of aeking for help from someone, I tried to go it alone. This is where God started to give me

a few subtle whacks to the back of my head. I was given the opportunity to begin again and I wasn't about to let it go without a try. Wait a minute! In those three years I had so many chances and I didn't accept them. Why did I now? My friendly persuader saw to that.

In the past three months, I have learned 80 much about myself and about God, that it gives me an unbeatable natural high. Hopefully God will allow me to keep learning about Him and about myself, because I have never felt a greater need to learn than I do now. I thank Him for my second chance at living and learning. You don't have to wait for the second time around to find yourself. God will open the door, but it'8 up to you to take that crucial first step.

Now what do you people go home for? Nothing is the best answer. Lets all grow up and put our old varsity jackets in the moth balls and give G.S.C. some support. YO'Jare probably saying, "The team8 are no good," yet how the heck do any of you even know? You are never here to find out. I bet you people don't know 30 athletes on thi8 campus, but the names and numbers of the high school football team members are a snap.

say ignorant since you paid for these events already. Al80 since we are on the subject, how come unless food is served at an activity no one around this place ever shows up? All I have to say is one thing and that is if we did have too many activities with food involved, eventually all the walls in the buildings would have to be knocked out, and new doors installed 80 everyone could get to class.

This weekend the Fair­mont Football game is at home lets all try to stay for one. Hey! maybe your parents could stand a weekend without you at home complaining about how boring you feel G.S.C. is. Yet if its so boring what in God's name are you doing here. Go back to high school and take introduction to sOciety beyond childhood, if you think you can pass the course.

Concerning the reputation of the church (Weeley Foundation): Jesus Chri.t reached out to the 8inners and outcast. I 8hall endeavor to do the same, for BOme of U8 are righteous. None of UI has a comer on God.

The battle of good and evil is always popular and ever relevant. From cartoon8 to movie8 we are concerned with the individual'8 battles, international conflict over moral i88ue8, and m08t esp~cially the cosmic battle.

For more information attend Bible Study on Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. We are studying the book of Revelation8.

Remember to attend the church or 8ynagogue of your choice. Lay claim to the awe80fue power of God.
