Many people may not know about the twelve-hour, one-' credit course in dedication that UMO offers. Going by the call letters MCO 11, the University’s Marching Band is comprised of 112 devoted, dedicated and driven students. Pride and spirit are also part of the course requirements but are more often the by-products for these students who feel four, approximately nine minute football half-time shows makes it all worthwhile. They also perform pre-game and post-game shows. Band practice starts before classes begin in September. In fact, this year, the band spent six gruelling hours on the field, and V/i hours in the classroom for each of the three days before classes began. At the head of this dedicated marching group stands an even more dedicated and driven director, Gregg Magnuson. Magnu son, in his fourth year at UMO as Band Director, has the direc torship of the marching band down to a science, the science that it has to be. Magnuson received his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Music from the University of Michigan in 1966, 1967. At Michigan he was a graduate teaching fellow in trombone and euphonium. He was also in the marching band, symphony band and trombone ensemble. Before coming to Maine he taught three years at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. Besides his work with the Marching 100, he is responsible for the Concert Band, Varsity Band, Trombone Ensemble, Brass Quintet, Brass Class, Percussion Class, Applied Brass, Applied Percussion and Ad vanced Conducting. The football season is mapped out from the beginning in terms of field practice in the delightfully bug-ridden Maine Fall, play rehearsals inside, individual unit practices and practicing by the individual on his own time. And there always is that one predictably unpredictable factor—Maine weather—to contend with. “LA to W insert, CR 6 yds to pos., RF.” is not the code for Walt Abbott’s Black Bears to form a “counter hand-off to the wingback to the 4-hole”, but rather the field manuevers for a rank of nine trombones to position themselves as the band forms the shape of a radio. This is the language of the Marching 100 as they work out precision movements necessary to make a simple circle look round. A video tape of each half-time performance enables Mag nuson to hold a critique by Tuesday evening. Much like a team working on their defense, “coach” Magnuson can spot any flaws, a swinging gloved-hand or a low-stepping clarinetist. j 2 Who are these students that comprise the Marching Band? Surprisingly, only 25 per cent are music majors, the remainder span the academic scene. The majority of students are from Maine and never marched in high school, giving the director an added challenge when he prepares the first show in two weeks with a crop of green freshmen. The band is a close group having together shared many hours striving for perfection. The band sorority, Tau Beta Sigma, and fraternity, Kappa Kappa Psi, are active groups who provide a work force for the band, give a reception for freshmen members and visiting bands and even publish a newspaper before each game called the “PSD Gamely” (Pride, Spitit and Drive). The “Gamely”, a mimeo-sheet, is complete with a message fom the conductor’s desk, “in” band jokes and dedication anecdotes. The 1973 marching season provided some very unusual field performances. At Homecoming there was an X-rated movie theme with the formation of a movie projector with rotating wheels. Early in the season they performed an innovative preci sion parody of President Nixon and Watergate complete with a tape recorder and a “SAM”. On Parent’s Weekend the band did a review of rock ’n roll, a real audience pleaser, with bopping bobby-soxers, a hound dog and a precision dance routine to the Pink Panther. The author of these intriguing marching concepts is Director Magnuson. He borrows some ideas from other schools but as a rule tries to keep things contemporary, such as the Nixon show. He often brainstorms with students to develop the theme and formations. The Band has come a long way in the four years with l- ¥
Magnuson. When he came, the half-time shows they did were ■ equivalent to the pre-game shows they do now. And alumni from the late fifties can remember that there used to be one practice on Wednesday evenings in the dusty field house to prepare for a show on Saturday! At the end of this year, several seniors will be leaving who have marched and played under Gregg Magnuson for his four years. (Continued on page 14)

At this second Conference Paul Ring was happily presented with a $ 1,000 check to continue the Sea Grant funded extension program for the boating trades. Ring emphasized that it is educational for not only the boating conferees to hear from specialists but also to discuss among themselves their common interests and problems. A further extension of the educational aspects of the confer ence was developed by video-taping all presentations for “re cycling” in vocational institutes and anywhere else the need might be. Tentatative plans are underway to conduct a field study conference in Bristol, Maine, at the salt pond where Rachel Carson, author of “The Sea Around Us” and “Silent Spring” studied the marine environment. This terrestrial and marine conference will be a family-oriented workshop that will study the forest; soil, geology and wildlife of the area in depth. Currently the Maine Nature Conservancy, a private founda tion that manages land for public use, holds the land. The study ing by the Darling Center would help the Conservancy develop the area’s management plan. A conference is already scheduled for April 5 at the South ern Maine Vocational Technical Institute (SMVTI) for High School Guidance Teachers on Marine Career Opportunities. Sea Grant and the New England Aquarium of Boston will be working with SMVTI to bring over 300 people to the conference.

5 Gavett will take over as the new assistant varsity coach under Tom “Skip" Chappelle, class of 1962. His duties will also include coaching the freshman basketball team and lecturing on basketball technique and skills as part of the department of Physical Education. The 6'7" coach says that his first thoughts upon graduating were to play professional ball. He went to the Boston Celtics rookie camp for one week before deciding to apply for his present Peter Gavett: coaching position. “I wanted to coach and, if possible, at the college level. It’s good to be able to work under coach Chappelle because I know student star him and the UMO system. I really like Maine and its basketball system and I want to help out the program," Gavett says. Gavett became interested in basketball by coming to the UMO campus as a youngster with his brother Willie, class of becomes coach 1972, and playing with some of the students. He credits his When the Maine Black Bears open their 1973-74 basketball interest in basketball to this University exposure. season at home against Vermont on November 30, there will be a “My career has been a combination of events, coaches, and * new face among the UMO coaching staff. He will be former people; all culminating with coach Chapplle. They all have been UMO basketball star and 1973 graduate Peter M. Gavett. good and everything has just added on.” Gavett, a secondary education major while at UMO, says his major goal as a coach is to produce a winning team. He considers his job as coach to include being an organizer, at times a disciplinarian and a friend who can gain the respect of the players. “I want to be able to leave my players with good experi ences relating to basketball and the feeling that they have ac complished and learned something to pass on. And as a coach I will expect everyone to play to the best of his ability. I want my team to be as well prepared as possible for every game,” Gavett explains. According to Gavett a player/m/sf be able to react quickly to situations mentally as well as physically. It is of paramount importance that a player be able to associate past experiences with what is happening at a particular moment, says Gavett. The 22-year-old Orono native would idealistically like to see no athletic scholarships at all, but when looking at it realistically he would like to see UMO adopt a scholarship program. Gavett believes that, in most cases, the Black Bears are at a disadvantage talent-wise to other Yankee Conference schools. Many kids want and need money and UMO cannot give it to them so schools like UMass and UConn can get them, Gavett notes. Since Maine does not have a scholarship program, Gavett says that he is forced to stress other points when recruiting a high school prospect. “I stress our real good basketball program with coach Chappelle, the winning record over the past five years and the crowd support. I also stress the fact that the campus itself has a nice atmosphere. And the programs we have in forestry and engineering are big drawing cards,” explains Gavett. The lanky coach says that the past two seasons have been excellent as far as recruiting good, young talent. Forexample, on this season's varsity squad one-third of the players are new and when you can get players right out of high school who can go directly to varsity ball it is great, indicated Gavett. Furthermore, Gavett says that more of the good players in the state of Maine are staying and not taking their talent out of state. Gavett is very optimistic about this season’s UMO squad. It is a very young team with three freshmen, four sophomores, two juniors and two seniors. But the team should have plenty of depth with almost anybody being able to capture a starting spot, observes Gavett. So far in the preseason practice sessions Gavett is assisting Coach Pete Gavett throws a block in front of a freshman during coach Chappelle in preparing the team mentally and physically basketball practice who is his brother Steve Gavett. Steve just may for the upcoming season. follow in his brother's footsteps in fame on the basketball court at UMO. “So far we have been concentrating on fundamentals and Whatever the future holds for him, his shirt says he will be giving his I/O physical conditioning.

We journalism major and could be rusty coming back. But it can also work the other way. Sports Editor, The Maine Campus Sometimes a few days off are good because it can give players a chance to recuperate and get rid of some minor injuries. It all depends on the type of team.” Gavett says financing stands in the way of taking a trip during the Christmas break as the team did two years ago when it played Marshall and Oral Roberts. “If we could afford it, make the trip enjoyable, and play good competition; we would go. But we wouldn't go on a trip and play out of our class just to play. It’s all a question of money,” Gavett says. The novice coach believes since he was recently a player himself he can be a big help to coach Chappelle in understanding the players’ problems, pressures, motivations and studies. The 1973 UMO alumnus states that defense will be the key to the season for the Black Bears. “If we can be constantly strong on defense we’ll stay in any game. Defense can win games if the offense is cold and not working. Even on cold nights offensively the defense can stay the same,” says Gavett. While a playing Black Bear, Gavett says that probably his biggest thrill as a player was when UMO upset Rhode Island during his junior year. He cited that game as the beginning of the basketball upsurge at Maine which has produced two straight winning seasons and made famous “The Pit”, the UMO funnel like gymnasium. “The Pit is the best place for crowd noise. You come out and the place goes wild; you really feel that the people appreciate what you’re doing. And it also has quite an effect on the opposing team because they begin to wonder what is happening,” Gavett muses. The new coach said that the only possible drawback to “The Pit” atmosphere comes when the team goes on the road because Gavett and Coach Tom "Skip” Chappelle confer during early sea son practice. The two former UMO students and basketball stars should they miss the crowd enthusiasm.“Basketball is a physical game make an effective coaching pair for the 1973-74 season starting Nov. 30 and you play harder, better, you are a little quicker and you jump against Vermont.

A 'J 7 Das war das Oktoberfest! (This was Oktoberfest!) Homecoming dawned on the beautiful, balmy fall weekend of October 12-13. The German theme of Oktoberfest was evident with the Original Stammtisch Band playing and the knockwurst and sauerkraut dinner served for the Homecoming Luncheon. A new highlight to the traditional weekend was an eight-story hot air balloon (lower left) carrying an Oktoberfest banner. The Golden Knights U. S. Army Parachute team also provided quite a spectacle. Homecoming is also a time to honor our distinguished alumni. On Friday evening retired President Winthrop C.

The University of Maine system received considerable at tention and a considerable number of recommendations by the MMCSC. Sixty-six specific recommendations were directed toward the University of Maine. This area received the most publicity and caused the most public fervor. There were three major recommendations that were more than just budget related and which have the potential ofchanging the character of Maine’s public higher education. A proposal to combine the six vocational and technical institutions around lhe state with the present University of Maine system to form a State University of Maine. This would be accompanied by the creation of a new governing body and would be giving a community college role to what are now vocational schools. A proposal to close the Bangor campus of UMOB and transfer many of its students and staff to the Orono campus. A proposal to change the campuses at Fort Kent, Presque Isle and Machias from four-year to two-year institutions. The reaction to proposals on the closing of the Bangor campus and the changes of programs for Fort Kent, Presque Isle and Machias was fierce and adverse from the communities. But no official comments came from individual campus presidents or the Chancellor’s Office until two weeks later at the September Board of Trustees meeting. Student art major Ruth C.

The Marching Band A native of Winthrop, Me., he graduated from Springfield College and came to UMO in 1969. (Continued from page 3) Bill Jordan of Augusta, a clarinetist mathematics major, admits it is a great deal of work for one credit but feels it is well worth it. “You feel the togetherness and spirit of everyone in the band. He is an excellent director who instills a real feeling of pride.” Bill’s freshman sister started in the band this year. Kathy Porter, a zoology major from Washburn who plays the tenor drum, is a four-year veteran also. “I griped a lot, but I have enjoyed it. We know what he expects of us now and it’s still hard but less confusing,” she says. The marching season is over now and the band is in for some less strenuous practice. For the remainder of the year they will play in the Concert Band—sitting down with a roof over their heads. One of the regulations set by Magnuson is that no one can be in the Concert Band unless they “served” in the Marching Band.

Hooper. Professor Hooper was awarded his Ph.D. at Brown University in 1961 and taught at Brown for three years. Hethen moved to Wayne State University where he taught under The character and programs of the Physics Department graduate physics courses, supervised doctoral dissertations and have changed rather markedly in the past several years.

In five years he has built a strong faculty spanning cultural, physical and social anthropology, anthropological linguistics, folklore, and archaeology. One of the first fields the department developed was ar chaeology which included the Archaeological Field School. Ar chaeological diggings have been conducted in the Maine towns of Passadumkeag, Blue Hill, Machias and West Old Town among others. Artifacts from these digs and other archaeological pieces are housed in the Anthropology Museum on the top floor of South Stevens. The museum not only serves UMO students' needs but has become very popular in the community for hundreds of visiting school children. Another facet of the department that was developed and now receives national recognition is folklore studies. Under Dr. Edward “Sandy” Ives the Northeast Folklore Society has been established within the department and publishes a nationally circulated folklore journal. Dr. Ives is director of unique Arc hives of Northeast Folklore and Oral History, a nationally known “museum” of folk manuscripts and transcribed tapes. The department also works with the newly formed Institute for Quaternary Studies, an interdisciplinary study of the Quater nary Period of the earth’s geological history. Through Dr. David Sanger the archaeological expertise of the department is used in teaching and research with the Quarternary Institute. In the past five years Anthropology has received three Na tional Science Foundation grants, a Guggenheim Grant for folk Above: The Hirundo Site in West Old Town was the scene of exten lore and state funds to enable Dr. James Acheson to study the sive excavations of an old Indian village by student archaeologists this social anthropology of the Maine coast.

Dr. Emerick estimates, however, 15 per cent of the majors go on to graduate work, making the field a profession. Prospective anthropology majors may attend a reception in the Spring before pre-registration and are given a thorough out look not only on what academic responsibilities to expect but also a realistic look at careers in the field.Teaching is the major area of opportnity open to Anthropology majors. Research is a large part of a career in the field and teaching at the college level is an area where the two can be coordinated. Graduate work is strongly advised by the department when considering a profes sional career. Many suggestions such as world service organiza tions, social work and government agencies are given for a student with a bachelor’s degree. 16 Alumni News Creative writing fund established by alumnus Roy J.
