An old man going a lone highway Came in the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast, both deep and wide, The old man crossed in the twilight dim But he stopped when safe on the farther side and built a bridge to span the tide.

'Old Man,' said a fellow pilgrim near, 'You are wasting your strength and labor here; Your journey will end with the closing day, You never again will pass this way, You've crossed the chasm deep and wide Why build you this bridge at eventide?'

The Laborer lifted his old gray head, 'Good friend, in the path I have,'' he said, 'There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. To that young man may a pitfall be He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."

(From the will of Lawrence Jepson, B.A. '17)

8 Homecoming/Reunion Weekend 1981

A little nervous that they might not recognize everyone right away, alumni from the classes of 1931, 1941 and 1956 began their Homecominiy Reunion Weekend Friday, Oct. 2, with a dinner, presentation of pins to 50 Year Club members and class meetings. By the time Jazz Bands I and II rocked into the Big Band Sounds, alumni were in high gear talking about their days on the ISTC campus. On Saturday, Alumni Achievement Award and Service Award recipients were honored at the luncheon. The Homecoming Parade followed. It was led by Grand Marshall Irene Eaton, B.A. '21, known to all as " Ma Commons" because she was hostess at the Commons from 1937 until she retired in 1972. In the afternoon, tours of the campus were available, there was a carillon concert and the first all-Greek alumni reunion for alumni of the Greek chapters as locals and nationals. The weekend ended in the UNI-Dome where the Panthers played their hearts UNI vice president for administrative services Dr. Robert Stansbury joined his UNI graduating class of out against Northern Michigan but lost 1956 for the Reunion Weekend which included class meetings where he's seen greeting Elizabeth 17-13.

For example, recently published a by the ce nsus takers, says Riley, who some women, the harsh frontier two-volume survey of sources related to prefer to think of housewives and experience created a tough, resourceful the history of women on the frontier. So, frontierswomen of the 19th century as "saint in a sunbonnet," with a rifle in future research in this area should be " not gainfully employed." one hand and a baby in the other. But somewhat less difficult. " Not Gainfully Employed?" was the for others, the experience proved to be A central theme in Riley's book is the ironic title of an exhibit organized last overwhelming. These women were economic significance of women in Iowa summer at W aterloo's Grout Museum of broken by the West and soon scurried home to civilization. We think of them as frail, dejected " madonnas of the prairie." If your great-grandmother crossed Iowa in the mid-19th century, she probably didn't fit either stereotype, according to Dr. Glenda Riley, UNI professor of history. In fact, such images are largely myths. She discusses these and other misconceptions in her recently published book, Frontierswomen: The. Iowa Experience. It's one of the first books to test these ideas about women against the reality of a specific frontier, and joins a growing body of research into this neglected area. Riley first became interested in frontierswomen in 1975 when a student asked for help in preparing an exhibit on pioneer women at the UNI Museum. Riley didn't know much about the subject then, and soon discovered that there were few if any reliable sources of information. She has since published widely in many journals, and the study of women on the frontier has become an accepted scholarly subject. But it was an uphill climb. In her resea rch , Riley often found that libraries and archives had no separate classification for works by women. Their diaries, letters and other papers.were generally just added to those of their husbands, making it difficult to find and Dr. Glenda Riley (seated), author of Frontierswomen: The Iowa Experi ence, makes an gain access to these important primary autographed copy of the book for Judith Gildner, editor for Iowa State Press that sources.

In Frontierswomen, Riley acknowledges the contributions of many people, including Dr. Leland Sage, professor emeritus of history at UNI. Sage was one of several "readers" of Riley's manuscript, a service he has provided for many writers during his career. "Any writer," says Sage, " needs the help of trained readers who can pick up minor errors. Equally valuable, it gives the writer real professional criticism of the manuscript prior to publication." As a reader, Sage says, " I'm primarily interested in trying to react, to serve as a sounding board as to the coverage and soundness of the text as I understand it. That doesn't mean the writer will automatically agree. Writers are usually proud and individualistic people or they wouldn't be writers. But constructive criticism is the whole key to progress in scholarship." Sage has been associated with UNI since 1932, and is the author of a textbook, The History of Iowa, as well as Dr. Leland Sage, UNI faculty member since 1932, keeps involved with his work in Iowa history a biography of Iowa Senator William by teaching courses in the department of history and for correspondence study.

" This comprehensive community college district, through planning and daily awareness of our objectives, will become a reflection of the community and have a positive influence on the future. In the 1980s, this district will be a positive economic, political and social force in eastern Iowa." With these sta tements from the 1980 annual report of the Eastern Iowa Community College District (E ICCD), Chancellor Michael Crawford, B.A. '60, M.A. '64, assures his district of an important role in the future. Since becoming the chief executive officer in 1978, Crawford's open management style plus some luck, he says, have brought together the right people at the right time to get the district on the move. Working with the more than 400 employees at the Clinton, Muscatine and Scott community college campuses, Crawford now feels the district is headed in the right direction for the present and the future. Crawford's track record at EICCD thus far includes increasing enrollment by 36%, merging Palmer Junior College into the district, reorganizing the district's top administration, organizing community and staff people into 10 task forces to prepare a proposal for a five-year district master plan, promoting cost effectiveness, and above and beyond all, remembering to provide programs and services to match the individual needs of the people in the district. That sounds like a tall order, but a very possible one if you manage people and programs like Mike Crawford does Building through people, program and cooperation Mike Crawford, executive and have his skill for promoting ideas. director of the Ea stern Iowa Community College District, provide services th e community need .
