15 Glimmering girl

As you can see, Purdue University is not the only one with a “Golden Girl.” The girl who glimmers at halftime for Central is Patty Bittinger, a junior physical education major. Patty is no novice with the baton, having begun lessons with a national champion teacher at the age of 13. Patty has received national recognition herself. She belongs to “Who’s Who in Baton Twirling in the U.S.,” was elected by Indiana teachers to one year on the Board of Directors of the National Baton Twirling Association, and was the 1974 Intermediate State Baton Twirling champion. Patty, who choreographed high school bands last summer for the Indiana State Fair Band Day, has earned 110 trophies and medals, but may no longer compete since she is now both a teacher of gymnastics and twirling and competition judge.

Her classroom obligations average 12 hours per semester, and to top it all off, Dr. Lin gave birth to a daughter, Toni, this summer! Dr. Phylis Lan Lin, from Taichung, Taiwan, came to the United States and Montana State University in 1966. She was awarded a fellowship from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to pursue Medical Sociology at the University of Missouri, and was the first to receive a doctorate in that program. Her classic sociological study of chiropractors in Missouri is widely quoted, and is considered one of the authoritative works in the field. Perhaps the key to Dr. Lin’s thought and energy is her Chinese heritage, a heritage which stresses a holistic approach to life and art, to people and institutions. Rather than rigidly categorizing experiences as Western thought tends to do, an Eastern approach more often recognizes overlapping boundaries between disciplines. For example, Dr. Lan Lin’s Fleximester course on Dr. Phylis Lan Lin
