Board proposes permanent
north campus in Romeoville

The Joliet Juniw College Board of Trustees has authorized Industrial Developments
International of OaktHXxdc Terrace to acquire land in Romeoville for a permanent JJC-
Ncnth ^ility.

The ^rproval by the Board is subject to successful negotiations to acquire the preferred
40-acre site at 135th Street east of Weber Road, and to approval of the project by several
governmental agencies. The cost of acquiring land, building and equipping the (arility is
estimated at S4.1 million.

The college has actively pursued the purchase or construction of an instructiona] site in
the Bolingbrook/Romeoville area since August 1990, when a firm was hired to solidi
[xoposals for a 35,000- square-foot fk;ility.

JJC has rented facilities in Bolingbrook since 1975 and in Romeoville since 1982 in
order to offer day and evening classes to residerus ofone of the fastest growing areas in
the JJC disoict and in the state. Credit hour enrollment at these sites has inaeased 24.4
percent in four years.

The Board selected Che ID] from six proposals. The proposal bees review by the

Illinois Communis Cdlege Board in September and the Olinms Board of Higher
Education in Ocioto. Barring any roadblocks, JJC t^fidals plan to have tbe fadiity
ready for classes in January 1993.

New furniture, paint
brighten cafeteria, bridge

By JenlRees

New paint, furniture and other recently
completed renovations make Joliet Junior
College a more comfortable place to learn
and enjoy this fall.

The cafeteria and the bridge were re-
modeled during the past month for the first
time since the college opened the building,
almost 20 years ago. The renovation in-
cluded new furniture and painting on the
bridsc and in the cafeteria .The bridge also
was recarpeied and a new mural ha.i been
designed in the center section, Outdoors,
new striping was pointed on the roadways.

'The condition of the chairs in the caf-
eteria and the worn carpeting of the bridge
was a factor in the Board of Trustees deci-
sion to remodel,” said Dr. Joclynn Ainlcy,
Vice President of Student Affairs. "The
chairs in the cafeteria were the original
chairs from 1974."

Interior Design instructor Nancy Beau-
[TO selected the color schemc—grays aix)
purple with orange as an accent

The cafeteriarcceived new tables and a
paint job. “We wanted the colors to fit what
theinstituiionwasabout,”saidAinIey. "We
went for a more conservative look."

Along with the renovations in the cafete-
ria, the todge was repainted and recarpeted
in similar colors.

‘The fumiuire on the bridge looks the
same as on the concourse. The chairs will

cidier be a solid purple or u purple print
fabric,’’ said Dia/K &hmiit. Director of
Administrative Services. "There will
also be some tables and other chain set
up on the bridge."

Main Campus roadways and pork ing
lou also were renovated this summer.
Two parking lotit and the cnirunce and
cxiiroeds were seal coated and rc-sui|xxl.

"Parking Lot W3, the auto shop urea
and Parking Lot M2 were resurfaced, seal
coated and rc-sirfped," said Director of
BuildingandCtvundiKenPicrcc. "f^-
ingLotMl, ihecntranccroadandlhccxit
road were also re-stnped."

Funding to rcmcxiel the bridge and
the cafeteria was pun of the Auxiliary
and Enterprise furid. The rc-striping on
the emranccrood and the exit road was
funded by the Operation and Mainte-
nance fund, and the resurfacing and rc-
striping on the parking lots was funded
by the Build Ulinois funds.

All painting was done by Glen Ber-
nard Filing and Decorating and Ben
Cabay Construction Company, both of
Joliet . The carpeting was laid by Ben
Cabay Coawuction. The bridge fumi-
uire came from Vecta Company in Chi-
cago. Gallagcr Asphalt Corporation of

Health Service is here to care for JJC students

By Jo Lynn Worden

near the Campus Police substation and the Athletic Depan-
menL Iioccupiesonly fourrooms, ooeof which isanoffice.

Maybe you sto^Kd by once with a scratchy throat or
headache. lfso.youmcuheper9onincharge,JcanDale,a
registered nurse whose job it is to coordinate Health Services
at JJC.

She might have dispensed some throat lozenges or aspi-
rin and sent you on your way. If you needed further
evaluation, she told you where to get professional help.

These arc only a few of the services that Dale provides as
campusnursc. Undcrherdireciion, Health Servicesoffers
a variety of free assistance to students, staff and faculty.

Dale is available during the fall and spring semesters
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in G-
1017 to deal with any life-threatening emergency as well as
the normal everyday injuries on campus and minor health
problems of the average student.

After those hours, anyone needing help should contact
the switchboard or Campus Police, who arc familiar with

emergency medical procedures.

"Many students will come in with a minm- complaint
such as symptomsof acold,” Dale said, "but loficn find that
they have a larger concern.

“I have lalWp/t with students who are worried about the
symptoms of venereal disease, pregnancy, those who have
had problems with parental abuse or boyfriend-girlfriend
{Hoblems.”-

In the easiest cases, like the common cold, Dale can
dispense some cold tablets. For more serious problems she
will refer a student to a physician or a counselor.

For emergency
health assistance,
visit Room G-1 017

If the student does not want to turn to the family doctor,
Dale can refer them to the Will County Health Department
for care at a cost they usually can afford.

Besides the medical care of students and staff, Dale has
her share of administrative work to do. Health Services
maintains a &le of updated physicals for students, athletes,
nursing students and EMT's on campus.

She handles the applications for handicapped parking
permits and also monitors the loan of equi(»nent for the
physically disabled, a service most students probably don't
know about

The campus nurse also coordinates health education
programs on campus and speaks to classes and clubs about
health-related topics.

The Health Service also provides care fw students with
a medical history of a disease such as diabetes or epilepsy.
Student health formsare checked and, with permission, Dale
can alert instructors each semester as to what medical
attention should be adminisiercd if a student should have an
emergency while in class.

Most students know very little about the Health Service
and even fewer use it "Visibility is a problem," acknowl-
edges Dale with a smile. "I sometimes go walking the halls
to let students see there is a nurse here on campus."

ChUd care center gives parents peace of mind

By Jo Lynn Worden

Sun streams through the windows. Bright decorations dot the walls, and there is a flurry
of activity at the JJC Child Care Center in B-lOOl .

Three-, four-and fivc-year-old children seem to be everywhere, busily doing the things
they do best

At ortc table, agroup is earnestly modeling Play-doh, one girl discussing ho- "pizza" with
a friend, while a little boy gleefully makes long “snakes.”

ArxHhcr table is set up for water play, arxi plastic-c^rroncd children are exploring the
wonders of measuring and pouring bubbly soapy water. Several others are fieely exploring
play areas that hold art materials and books designed to stimulate activity and imagination.

In the middle of it all is Director Barbara Peterson, busily organizing the day’s activities
for the up to 40 children who will auend school that day. The present format was organized
under Peterson's direction.

“Before that it wasjust a baby-sitting service,” she explained, "but by 1975 plans were
made to change the program and incorporate a more academic atmosphere in keeping with
the educational philosophy of the college.”

The Ccnicr is non-profit and self-supporting. Parents pay a fecof Sl.TOper hour with an
added charge of 75 cents per day for hot lunch if the child is enrolled during the lurtch hour.
About the only stipulation on enrollment is that a child attend at least two days per week for
atwo-hourblockoftime. "Any less than that, the paremneedsababy-sitter,nota]H'eschool,”
said Peterson.

Under her direction, lessons arc coordinated with a ^>ecial theme each week and provide
an opportunity to enhance language devclt^ment and readiness skills. Preschool screening
is done each fall as in any other preschool in the region.

Suidems and staff use the center each weekday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on regular class
days during the fall and spring semesters. A modified session is also offered for Summer I.
Children of ages three through 12 may attend then until noon. The summer program also is
still academically oriented and features cooperative field trips around campus.

Jean nine Goss is one student who has enrolled her daughter at theCen ter for the past year.
"I could probably find child care somewhere else if 1 had to. but it is more convenient to be
able to iMing her here to school with me.”

Other parents echo the same sentiment It is much easier to plan their class schedule
knowing they can anangc child care around it

Diane Barnes, who teaches two sectims of Health 109, a nutriticH) class in the Nursing
Department is a faculty member who uses the Center.

Af play In JJC's Child Care Center

She brings her five-year-old daughter along to school two mornings each week.

"I havea sitter in Sh^wood U) care for my two-year-old son, but it is nice that she is able
to have a pre-school experience plus the bonus of being where Mom works.”

The Center has also been us^ in the past by practicum students enrolled in education
courses at JJC. Und^ Peterson's direction, they work a total of 64 hours during the semester
and earn three credit hours.

Certain requirements must be completed which include designing teaching plans that
itKorporate language development, fine moux' stalls, gross motor skills, music, math and
science.

The Centeris open to the community, but students andstaff arc given priority in ciuollment.

"We used toadvertise to the community butdon’tanymore; weean fill all the spaces with
our own sUKlcms here on campus.” Accrmling to assistant director Ruth Recchia there is
usually a waiting lisL Parents should try to make arrangements as soon as they kiww their class
schedule.

TVeasurer Quinn
visits JJC, touts
support for
pre-pay tuition

Illinois State Treasurer Patrick Quinn
and the slate's majcH education advocacy
groups arc urging Gov. Jim Edgar to sign a
bill creating an investment system which
parents can use to pe-pay their child’s
college tuition.

In a [Hess conference at JJC on Aug. 6,
Quinn said the Future Education Account
Act would allow paraits to make monthly
payments into a tax d^ened, interest-bear-
ing account When a child graduates from
high school, the account is guaranteed to
cover tuition at state universities, with com-
parable hiidon covered if the child chooses
a private school.

The FEA is suRXHied by the Illinois
Parent Teachers Asociation, the Federa-
tion of Independent Illinois Colleges and
Universities, Illinois Education Associa-
ticm and the Illinois Federation of Teachers
Universities Council, the largest (Hganiza-
titm of university faculty and staff in Illi-
nois.

The FEA would set monthly payments
based on the child's age and estimates of
expected tuition costs. If the program be-
gins in 1992, peymuus are estimated to
range from $90 a month for a newborn to
$245 ftxa 14-year-old.

Modeled after successful tuition savings
programs in. other states, FEA calls for
contributions to be invested by the State

Titanic Love Affair is rated top-notch with debut album

If you' veevervisiud friends down al the

twice.

Soul Asylum and the Replacements,
T.LA.ison the brink of gaining some well-
deserved national attention with the release
of their self-titled debut album.

The aforementioned Replacements are
all-too-fircqucntly cited as influences for

TJ,A.’s sound, and critics have unfairly
insisted on making comparisons of the two
bands. Having seen both groigrs many limes,
I can only hope that Paul Westerberg’s
Replacements take some lessons from their
Ch^ peign counterparts andcomeouiwilh

Academic Skills
Center helps students
achieve excellence

Have a safe and
Happy Halloween!

By: Janet Inmon

HELP!!!

Right now, that’s a popular cry from
many students who aren't doing so well in
their classes. Students who need extra help
can find assistance in the Academic Sldlls
Center.

Academic Skills Center advisor
Charlene Wagner said, there is a 65%
increase in the number of snidcnts that
sough t help through the ASC since last fall.
The number of visits by new students has
increased by 80%, while the number of
hoLiis has increased by 1 26% since last fall.

According to Wagner the lutora have
also had a lot to do with the increase.

"The tutors that apply to the Acedcmic
Skills Center have to go through about
eight hours of training in order to help the
students to the best of their ability,” she
said. “Not only do the tutors teach the
subject for which they applied, but they
also teach morcefTicicntstudysIdlls.Tulors
are taught to see the problems in students'
study skills, so that the student uses his or
hertimemore wisely whcnsiudyingalone."

“Students can also rehearse for
presentations or speeches with their tutors
before they are even due, “said Wagner.
“This allows the student to get used to the
idea of standing in front of someone who
will give them constructive criticism on
what they might do to improve their

performance before they have to present it in
front of their instructor for credit"

There arc also tutors in different labs
throughout the school such as in the Biology
lab and the Anatomy and Physiology lab both
in room E- 1006, the EET lab in room C>20 13,
and the EEAS lab in room D-20I9. Other bbs
are the Nursing lab in room C-2028 and the
Music Apptcciauon tutor in room K-2016.
The ACS has twenty-eight tutors in thirty
different subjects.

“The Acedcmic Skills Center isn'ljust for
students who need a little help with their
studies. It’s also available to adults who are
rctuniing to college after being away for a
while and need time to adjust to the college
way of life again.” said Wagner.

The Returning Adult program is designed
especially for these adults and their needs, and
is divided into three different sections. The
Reuiming Adults Seminar is a scries of free
workshops that include everything from
effective note- taking to how to use the Learning
Resource Center. Refresh and Review is for
those who remember what they did in high
school or college, but since it was a while ago,
things are a LtUe fuzzy. It's more or less a series
of brush-up courses to get adults restarted,
using computers to refresh skills in reading,
math, language, and study skills. The Basic
Acedemic Skills program arc self-paced
acedemic skills courses that go over basic
math, reading, writing, study, and test-taking

skills, as well as associated job
preparation skills.

“The administration has really been
supportive of our efforts so far.” said
Wagner. "They have allowed us to
expand our tutoring hours, our numbers
and our staff."

The Acedcmic Skills Center is open on
Monday thru Thursday, from 7:30 am.
until 9 p.m.. Friday. 7:30 a.m. unul 4 p,m.,
and Saturday, Sam. until 12p.m. ThcACS

We’ve all been lectured about it before.
Young people think they have all the
answers. We know everything, so why
don't we gel out and change the world
while the answers are still fresh in our
minds. Then the older generations sneer
and give us that just-wail-lill-you-join-ihe-
rcal-world look.

Well, folks, looks like we've finally got
you on this one.

Young people are out making a
difference in a way only sung about before.
So thank you, Mr. Dylan, thank you, Mr.
Lennon, for the ideas. But we're not going
to rewrite the tunes. Young people are
going to rewrite history. A history far more
dangerous than our parents or grandparents
would have thought

Yes. the dmes they are a changin’. And
for once, they ’re changing for the good, not
just a reshaping of old ideas. The Berlin
Wall has come down and Germany is
reunited. Eastern Europe is alive with

revolution. Young people from the West
are doing what we do best: giving support
and drawing attention to issues that most
people don’ t want to think about We’re all
sending a message that it’s time for all to be
free. The martyrs of Tiananmen Square are
all the proof you need. The lime for change
isnow.andwccan'twaiianylonger. .

Now, I know what the older people are I
thinking. It’salongthelinesof,"Hey, we’re |

the ones in office, negotiating all the fine ]
print” My answer to that is this: it’s about |
time. They’ve been spouting rhetoric long |

enough. The Cold War is over, so what’s }

the holdup? If you still want to talk, then
talk. We’re going to take action.

The ball is in our court now. It has started
rolling andii'sup to us tokeepitgoing. And
that's what we are going to do. Young
peopleoftodaymaynothavcalltheanswers,
but at least ours work. They say freedom
isn’t free, which is true. But you should not
have 10 kill or die for it either.

Students hold key for the future

By Jeff omen

We’re approaching that time of your
again, boysand girls. A great, exciting lime
when everyone- even suidems at Joliet
Junior College- havea voice in the decision
of who will be the leader of the Umlcd
States of America.

Not long from now, candidates for the
highest office in the land will begin to give
speeches and host fund-raisers in Iowa and
New Hampshire, the sights of the first two
Primaries that kick off the race for the
Democratic Party’s nomination. That
winner will take on irKumbem President
George Bush, in the battle for the White
House.

Of your reaction to all this is, “Who
cares?" you're unfonunaicly not alone.
Countries around the world would kill to
have this election process every four years.
Czechoslovakian President Vaclav Havel
says, "We must all learn many things horn
you.” The rest of the world idolizes us for
our Democratic form of goverameni, yet
we couldn't care less. Half of the U.S.
population is once again ex peeled to dec line
on their right to vote in the 1992 elecuon.

It’s been over 1 2 years since a Democrat
was in the White House. People seem to

havebccomecomfonablewiihDemocrauc
control of Congress and retaining a
Republican as presidenL The danger in this
divided government idea is that people will
again ignore the '92 election as long as
President Bush seems unbeatable.

Agreed, the lastfcw elections have been
shamefully dominated by fancy rhetonc,
30-second sound bites for the evening news,
andwhaicventuailycomesdownloaphony
choice between phony candidaics. But what
might- and should- get people intcrcsicd
with this election is discussionsof real

issues. Enough of all the flags, yellow
ribbons and prison furloughsuiffthalwe' VC
been spoon-fed for years. In order to get a
popular incumbent out ofthe White House,
acandidatc needs to giveihcvotersarcason
U) support him or her.

The Democrat game plan for '92 seems
to be to give the public straight talk, real
messages and horiest solutions. Hopefully
this will force President Bush off tlw golf
course and out from behind all his
spokespeopleandacuialJy make him talk to
us. You and me. Think about this for a
minute. Wouldn't it be exciting if a
politician- especially a presideni- would
really qxak to Ihe young people of America?

There are a great deal of social problems

which will face us os wc move out into the
real world: education, crime, health core,
AIDS, lack of jobs, a falicnng economy
and maybe even a recession. Dtvi.sions in
America over abortion and race arc getting
wider and wider. Civil rights have
consistently gone backwards over the last
12 years. Th^ problem.s cannot wait fur
another era. Wc need long-range plans and
solutions right now.

The Democrois are forming a field of
candidates which is nut all that bud. They
arc capable of producing sharp dcbaic.s vs.
President Bush, and they arc young. Fiery
Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin is the oldest at 50
years old. We can do much worse than at
least listen to ihctr speeches, whichai many
times can be moving.

Don't sleep through this one, people.
America need.s to wake up and face the
changing world, and rc-evaluatc its
prion ucs. It nothing else, at least register to
vote and pick an issue that you 're in tcrcsied
in, whether it be race of aboruon or the
homeless or whatever, and take the lime to
pay attention and vote for the person who
will help your cause. Let's voice our
opinions arid our concerns m 1992. Make
the people who run this supposedly great
country of ours know we're out there.

a Yeah, you.

unexpecting as you contemplate living in dorms or somewhere else on a campus that
actually has more than four separate buildings.

If you’re anything like me, you’re ready to taste college life at its “besi"--at least, that's
how everyone describes iL They tell me that "your university years will be the best years
of your lifc.’’l,howevcr,donotfall prey to this synopsis,andbelieve that that was just some
sort of propaganda board members made up in the early '70s to discourage potential drop-

Nonethcless, I'm ready to go to a place where not just registration knows me as a nine-
digitnumbcr.rmrcadytohangoutaroundthcCoUcgeofMcdicincorLawandaiiractsome
strikingly gorgeous and soon-to-be rich brunette. I'm ready, for all practical purposes, to
graduate with a bachelor's, spend some dme on European topsoil, and then maybe start
looking for a job that pays more than student-wodeer wages.

All ready University life sounds like good times, but dermitcly not the best 1 usually
don’ tentertain myself by writing 27-pagc long thesis’ orsurroundingmyself with 250 other
confused and anxious people on the same floor. But, choosing classes from an endless list
that includes "Puritanical Conc^ts" and "Icc Ages: Past and Present" could be an
exhilarating experience.

1 do have a query, though. 1 recall the very first college course 1 ever took-ii was Speech
101 with Dr. Wolford, and 1 can remember feeling decidedly indmidaied as foreign college
lingo was tossed my face like buckets of scalding water. 1 remember sitting in the
furthermost, right-hand comer of class (as is my custom), looking at the other students and
wondering if I xtually looked as old and as them or as intelligent as them. I felt completely
misplaced and Iwaswondcring if my university classes wouldbclhesame. I’ve heard these

awful horror stories about how professors and other students hate those who transfer
because they got “an easier ride.’’ I, however, don’t think that I or you or any other transfer
student is at is this disadvantage. After all. if we can make it through Bev Shields’ English
102 courses that seem to be patterned afterahellish Siberian Acedemiccamp’scurriculum,
then I’m sure we can finalize the remaining two years of our bachelor's degrees with a
4.0. okay, maybe a 3.6.

Tripping The Live Fantastic »

BY: JASON HEDKE

"I need a miracie!”

What leaps into your mind when
you hear this phi^? Is it a televangelist's
plea for a cash bailout of his scandal-
wracked ministry? The desperate cry of a
gambler betting his last two bucks on a
100-1 long shot? How about a writer who
is two hours away deadline staring at
avcry blank computer screen?Thc answer,
of course, is D, none of the above. It is a
hopeful voice from the crowd looking for
a ticket to a guaranteed night of pleasure
and fun.

For those of you who have never
been to a Grateful E>ead show, much less
know who the Grateful Dead are, allow
this humble writer to broaden your
horizons and introduce you to a world
where the fun stops only when you want it
to. A Dead show is a travelling carnival of
music, food, dance, trinkets, peace, and
lovcihathas something foreveryone with
an open mind.

Let's start with the music and the
band, because obviously without them
the whole scene would be just another
statefairandl'd be writing apretty boring
feature.Originally known as the Warlocks,
the Grateful Dead came on to the music
scene in 1965. Their free-form,
improvisational style of music combined
rock, blues, folk.andcoun try inioallowing
sound that caught on quickly. Voicing the
thoughts and feelings of people whose
main thoughts were of peace, free love.

and a good time, the Dead laid one of the
great cornerstones of American music
and literally set the stage fora culUire that
still survives today.

TheGrateful Dead's first three albums
showcased the energetic live music that
the band was
known for, and
from there it was
into the pages of
music history.

Over a quarter of
accnturylaler.thc
band is as good as
ever The band
consists of Jerry
Garcia and Bob
Weir on guitars,

PhilLeshon bass,

Mickey Hart on
percussion, and
BillKruetzemann
on drums. They
also have a
keyboard player,
buthavingihatjob
with the Dead is
dangerous, as all three of their permanent
keyboardists arc dead (no pun intended).
Bruce Hornsby is the latest musician to
fill that post.

The improvisational style of the music
that the Dud play is the most attractive
and magical ingredient in their live shows.
Sticking to a basic framework of a song.

they leave plenty of room in between to
"Jam", playing whatever chords or riffs
happen to appeal to them at the time. This
makes every show that you sec different .
This also makes the average Dead show
last about three hours , as opposed to the
hour and a half most
play. A
fifteenminute song is
surprise at all,
cOMpiMelipartwith
psychedelic lights
and cosmic screen
images, that let you
kick back and Just
enjoy beingalive. The
shorter songs of the
set arc so irresistibly
cool that you can't
help but gel up and
dance. And believe
me, watching how
some Deadheads
dance is worth the
price of admission
alone. But you get the
idea. Everyone there
does what makes them happy and the
result you get is 70,000 new friends to
party with.

Outside the show is Just as nifty as
being inside. A Grateful Dead show is an
all-day affair, starting early and ending
late. Usually around noon on the day of
the show is when the Deadheads arrive to

set up shop. Open-air booths ore set up,
selling everything from vegetarian food
to Jewelry to clothes. As the day rolls on,
the locals pour in, and by three or four in
the afternoon the stadium grounds arc
pocked with people out to grab a little bit
of Grateful Dead mystique. Tic-dyc.s
abound, friendship bracelets arc bought,
sold, and given away, and you can always
find a delicious bean sprout and cream
cheese bagel to keep yourenergy level up.
not to mention a cold beer (domestics arc
a dollar, imports arc two).

Imagine all that fun crammed into u
single day, Pretty cool, ch? Now imoginc
doing that for u three day week-end. I
guarantee by the end of the third day you
will want three more. The Deodheadsas u
grouparclhcfriendlic.siandmostpcticcful
people you’ll ever want to meet. After die
show they wander back to their campers
and tents, light camprircs, and .spend the
night singing tunes, telling stones of the
road, meeting old fnends and making new
ones.

Playing music and making friends arc
what the Grateful Dcadarcallaboui. You
do what you want and voucan always find
someone that enjoys the same scenes.
And it's all for fun. So if you ever get u
chance to see u Dead show, do it. You
won't regret it The Grateful Dead and the
Deadheads axe proof positive that in our
frantic.cia/y world some pcoplcstill know
how to lake tlcasy.

OHNHERTKO

(CPS) — Elvis parachutes into a New
Hampshirogrcyhoundpaik. ButwaitI He's
also been sighted at a Texas grocery sore.
Or maybe he's running a fishing camp in
Montana.

Dr. Robert Cole, a professor of pop
culture, has heard them all, or at least a
good many stories in which the late, great
itKk 'n' roll singer played a dominant role.
Alive, of course.

According to Cole. Elvis has been
spotted at Burger Kings, shopping malls
and grocery stores every where from
Montana to Texas to Hinsdale, N.H. And
he should know — he keeps uack of Elvis
sightings as part of his research.

Cole, oncxpcft in American history and
musicof the 1960s, said he thinks the Elvis
sightings stem from a lack of inspiration in
modern-day American society bom leaders ,
musicians and other powerful figures. Elvis
died in 1977.

"Energy , imagination, boyish enthusiam
for life. Thai’s just some of what Elvis
represents. People arcatlempting to recover
that in some way," says Cole, aprofessor at
Ripon College in Wisconsin, "We can all
see Elvis in our mind's eye, but only the
crazies see him in a shopping mall and talk
to him."

Cole says he finds Elvisfun to study and
say the King is "significant to American
culture."

"I think primarily it's this latent desire
for what Elvis represents in his music and
his lifestyle," Cole said.

Cole says the Elvis is Alive phenomenon
is just "wish fulfiUmenL" He says that until
society can find another figure as
inspirational as Elvis, sightings and books
about the sightings will continue.

''We arc so much on the edge of this type
of thing," Cole says. "The breakup of
communism might inspire it ...Until then,
we're left with visions of Elvis."

Take, for instance, the recent contest
sponsored by the Hinsdale Greyhound Park
in New Hampshire, whichofferedS 1 million
if Elvis (whereever he is) showed up Labor
Day weekend to sing on a stage set up in the
infield.

As it turned out, Elvis was a no-show.

Bui, Labor Day wasn't a total bust at the
dog track — an Elvis impersonator did
parachute into the park, was arrestcd.insistcd
on singing as police dragged him away,
took the stage and was booed off for his
awful voice and hips that just didn't quite
gyrate like the King’s.

"We hired this (public relations) agency
to promote our Labor Day races," says Chip
Ainsworth, park public relations director.
"One of the guys thought of offering Elvis a
million dollars when he was reading the
tabloid covers in the grocery store."

Being of sound mind and body — and
knowing that Elvis is dead — these men
hired the impersonator to drop by for some
excitement

Weeks beforeE-Day.afterihepromotion
already gained anemion in Hinsworih, a
small New England town of about 1400, a

woman reported seeing Elvis in a local
supermarket Ainsworth read about the
woman in the local newspaper, which ran
the story on the frontpage. The next day the
park held a press conference featuring the
woman who taked freely about her
experience. More media u»k notice.

Then one man tried to turn his vision of
Elvis into a profit

"We had this guy from Georgia call us
saying he was Elvis’ representative and
asked us to give him the money," Ainsworth
says.

It didn't work.

Kolasinski, Formella praised by coaches and team

'Chris is a very versatile football player'

BY DAVE PARKER

Joliet Junior College’s Chris Formella
may be an offensive lineman, but the
former Romcoville High School standout
certainly isn’t an unknown hero as far as
JJC’s 1991 football team is concerned.

■'Chris Formella is easily one of tour
best foorball players. Chris is a
tremendously lough kid," said first year
football coach Vince McMahon, “Chris
Formella knows only one way to play the
game of foolballand that is to go all out on
every play. Chris plays every play like it
is the last one he will ever partiipate in.”

A six-fool-two, 256-pound sophomore.
Formella showed just how good he was as
a JJC freshman last season. Besides being
named a co-captain for the 1990Wolves’
football squad. Formella was a second-
team All-North Central Community
College Conference pick.

"Chris is a very versatile football player.
We flip our guards, so Chris has played
both the quick and power offensive guard
position for us this season," said Coach
McMahon.

"Chris Formella has very quick feel
whichhclpshimon his blocking schemes.
He is also able to pull quickly and get out
and block those linebackers. He is super

on our sweeps and other various runs we
usually try during a game.”

During the final games of the 1990
season, Formella played defensive line.

“Chris is a solid defensive end. He has
played well on the defensive end during ih
times we have used him there,” said
McMahon. "We may continue to play him
some mor on defense, but we can'iaford to
rest him on offense. Chris is so valuable to
usoffensively thatwe can't lakcachancc of
losing him by playing him on defense.”

Formella was one of a few returning
sophomores for the Wolves in 1991. This
placed Chris in the spot of becoming a team
leader.

“Chris is a very emotional football
player,” said coach McMahon, “Chris has
become a vocal leader for our football team.
He will step upand say what he believes has
to be said. Chris has the type of qualities a
coach definiialy looks for in a college
football player.”

“Chris will defmitly make some four-
year school a good football player,” said
McMahon. “1 honestly believe that Chris
can play at the state school level. He can
play at a school and perform very well.”

'Sue has done a great job as our setter'

BY DAVE PARKER

The JJC women’s volleyball team
lost a standout setter when Paula Sossong
graduated last May. Sossong earned All-
North Central Community College
Conference honors last fall when JJC
posted a 31-14 record and finished
second overall in the N4C.

Despite the graduation of the talented
Sossong, JJC Volleyball Coach Diane
White had a more-than-suitable
replacement for the setter position.
Sophomore Susan Kolasinski has done
a standout job as the Lady Wolves’
setter in their 5-1 alipmeni.

“Sue has done a great job as our
setter. She is averaging about 24 assists
per game, too, so she is doing a fantastic
all-around job," said Coach White. “In
ourS-1 offensive setup, the setter has to
be able to do a lot of things and Sue
certainly fits the bill fm us in every
department.

She isagreat defensive player. Sue’s
quickness is a great asset to our team
and she always has her head in the
game. I use her as a floor captain out
there on the court,” commented Coach
While. “I can’t say enough good things
about Sue Kolasinski.”

Kolasinski graduated from Morris
High School is 1990. She starred in

volleyball for the Redskins as she
earned Herald-News All-Area honors
as a senior.

“I didn't get the opportunity to set
much last year as a fr’cshman at JJC,”
said Kolasinski. “I was used primarily
as a defensive player last season and it
was an adjustment for me. I never had
lopass the ball muchduringhigh school,
so passing was something new for me
last year."

"Sue has really come around,” said
Coach White. “She also has a solid
floating serve. And again, her all-around
defense speaks for itself. She is probably
one of the conference’s top defensive
players and she is only five-foot-two,
so that is really saying something.”

Kolasinski, who plans to major in
physical therapy at a four-year college
when she grad uatesfrxMitJJC.iskeeping
her options open as far as next year
goes.

“Sure, 1 would like to continue my
volleyball career at a four-year school,”
said Kolasinski. “I really don't know
where I will attend school once I finish
up at JJC."

Kolasinski earned All-Toumamem
honors at the JJC Invitational
ToumamenL The Lady Wolves won
the tourney championship.

Changes on bridge, no change in students

By Kyle Brighf

Don Bell, DtreciorofSiudem Services and Activities says he hoped the improvement
of the bridge would change the attitude of the student body. Has it? Well, not exactly.

Tlic new carpeungon die bridge, which should survive seven to ten years of wear and
tear, was suiincd within the Tirst six weeks of school says Bell. Bottles, cards, wrappers and
agarcites ha\ c been left on various parts of iltc bridge.

There ha.s always been a problem with litter on the grounds.” says grounds supervisor
Richard Rivera. “I have seen this behavior first hand for the past 15 years."

Rivera and his crew spend every afternoon picking up garbage from the floor on the
bridge. "We have found an assorted mismatch of litter, from cigarette butts to Chicago
Tribune." says Rivera. "Even the lake sports its own collection of garbage. Students and
fisherman leave cups, styrofoam bait containers and even beer cans floating down the
stream.”

"People must be too lazy to get off their butts and llirow a can away." says Building and
Grounds Director Ken Pierce. "When people come to Joliet Junior College the first thing
they sec is the grounds. They get a first impression from how the grounds look."

According to Rivera, most people just don’t know what they’re doing. "It’s a matter of
convenience to just throw butts and litter down.”

"If you make rcccpticals convenient they arc used quite a bit more. The more
inconvenient, the more litter,” he continued. ’’There's a garbage can for every eight feet in
the T.V. area and an ashtray outside every door."

"Maybe if someone says to someone else, hey pick that up, they would.” says Rivera.
"By working logeiher people could eliminate the garbage."

Comment sheet provides
suggestions to SGA

“We the people of J JC want... pool tables, real food, a Cash Station, smoking
areas... a real newspaper.” And the list goes on.

This is one of the comments on the “Student Comment Sheet” posted by SGA
in the hallway of the F mall. It is for students loexpress (heir opinions and ideas
about JJC.

Some people who wrote comments have some very good ideas. When one
reads the sheet, it is very apparent what changes need to be made.

First, it seems the smoking problem should be addressed. Because of the
tobacco-free atmosphere now provided at JJC, the smokers are forced outside
of the building to have a cigarette. This not only puts a label on them, but makes
them very cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

To resolve this, many students feel there should be a smoking lounge in the
building. We, at the Blazer, think this would be a very good idea.

Parking is another issue mentioned several times on the comment sheet. To
begin with, parking at all seems to be a problem. There are simply not enough
parking spaces for students between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Perhaps the school board
should think about building an additional parking lot. In addition, brighter
lighting in the lots should be installed for students’ safety.

Also, (here are many comments about the Blazer on this comment sheet. The
people who wrote those have to realize that we, the staff, are trying to revive this
newspaper from the dead. Last year, there was no paper.

Itisveryhardtopuloutaqualitypublicalionwitha verysmall staff. Ifanyone
withcomraentsabout thepaperwantslodosomenewsreporting, please feelfree
to join our staff.

The pool tables, real food and a Cash Station may take awhile to obtain, but
smoking lounges and the parking situation need attention immediately. As for
the Blazer, if anyone is interested in doing some reporting, our door is ahvays
open.

Sprague Gallery displays
permanent student collection

By Jeni Rees

The paint brush is clean, the easel is
folded and the potter’s wheel is still.

And eight years of outstanding student
art pieces have found their way into a
permanent collection at Joliet Junior
College. The works will be on display
Nov. 4-22 in the Laura A. Sprague An
GalleryattheMainCampus. Thecollection
is comprised of an created in JJC studio art
classes during the years 1983-91.

“The purpose of the exhibition is to
display really top-notch pieces from JJC
students,” says exhibit coordinator Joe
Milosevich. “This permanent collection
enables the college to preserve examples of
students' work from over the years and can
beused asa teaching tool to show examples
of others’ worics.”

According to Milosevich, this is the first
show where student art from all over the
collegewillbcdisplaycd. "Therearepicccs
in this show that have never been shown
before,” he says.

"I feel honored to have my work
displayed,” says Carla Taylor of Minooka.
“Not a lot of people see my work and it’s
nice to have my work shown.” Taylor has
been practicing art since the fourth grade
and enjoys doing paintings and landscape
drawings. The exhibition includes a pastel
drawing and two pen and ink drawings of
Taylor’s.

Artsiudcnt Regina HuiionofJolicisays
the art exhibit is a good idea because not
enough students and people in the
community areawareofwhatgocsoninihc

"The exhibit will get more people to
come to JJC and see what the students arc
doing and hopefully this will inspire other
students to get interested in art,” she says.

“This exhibit gives students a chance to

to have their work published," says JJC art
student Gerald Scott of Dwight Gerald,
who will ha ve twoceramic pieces displayed .

“This is a catalog like history of student
art work by students who have attended the
college," says art instructor William
Fabrycki. “The exhibit is to honor the
outstanding work of JJC students.”

The collection is chosen by the JJC an
facultyand is pure based through scholarship
funds from JJC to build a student collection
of work. Fabrycki says, the collection is
unusual because students work is being
displayed and not well known orusis.

The exhibition is organized in honor of
JJC's 90lh anniversary and the Fine Arts
Building's lOih anniversary. The
preparation of works in tlic permanent
collection have been made possible by the
college Student Government Association,
An Alliance and Fine Arts Department at

The Newman Gub is religious organization that responds to ihe
schools as well as the community's needs. At JJC. this club has succeeded in food and
clothing drives, lectures. Holy day services, and Bible study programs.

On October 3 1 , a lecture on Satanism and the Occult was given by Reverend Klima. A
mass on November 1, All Saints Day, was also held by this specific club. In the
Thanksgiving spirit, a food drive began cm Halloween. Newman members are individuab
willing to help others.

Alldenominations ofpeople are invited tojoin.Theclub is Catholic based, bulPresident
(Thristine McKiorick stresses that the organization is not ur^g a ^xxific view, rather to
educate and help those in need.

Religious clubs have gotten a bad rap in the past, from Bible-beaiers lo Ihe infamous

Views from the Other Side of Grey

By Terri M.orik

HI, my name is Terri and I am a student iit JJC. I am one of that growing
minority (Look ma! I'm a minority!) or older people who find ihem.selves going
back locollege. Over ihe next few months I would like to inter viewand get I o know
some of the rest of you out there that are like me, n repeat. Out nmybe I should tell
you my story before I ask for yours.

Six months ago if a fortune teller would have told me " You will be in college in
six montlis." I would have demanded my money buck and called iiera fniud. Iliil,
here I am. Due lo a set of unforhinute circumstances I found myself u purl of
another silent minority, one oflhe unemployed. I was laid offmy Joh and my job
was contracted to an outside service as a cost cutting meiLSure. This made me

What do
you call a
blonde...?

(CPS) - Its’saploL Bruncues and redheads
everywhere arc just Jealous, nicy know that
blondes really do have more fun, sooui of spite they
told the world that also stupid. Major dingbats.

How do you put a twinkle in a blonde's eye? Shine a
flashlight in her car.

How do you get a blonde to laugh on Monday? Tell her a joke on Friday.

What do you call 12 blondes standing in a line? A wind tunnel.

What do you caU a redhead walking between two blondes? An interpreter.

Now wait a minute. Is this politically correct?

As old blonde jokes re<merge in a time where homosexual jokes, racial jokes, fat jokes,
disability jokes andeihnic jokes are in hiding, you're probably wondering how this whole
humor movement started (No, it aws not by a brunette • at least no one can prove it).

A professor who studies speech communications says he thinks blondes have become
a safer group to pick on because of the historical stereotyping.

Quippwd one blonde to a Knighi-Ridder newspaper reporter who has been closely
documenting this important trend: ‘Tve got a slack of them in my car. My friends call me
whenever they hear a new one."

Astute observers in the reading community out there will note that most blonde jokes
focus on women (with the exception of Dan Quaylc, whom most blondes do not want to
aknowledgeasoncoftheirown). Dill Allman saysthat’sbccauseHollwood’sdumbblondcs
were almost always women.

"You find lots of things in the 1930s and '40s films," says Allman, a speech
communications and theater professor at Baldwin-Wallacc College in Cleveland. “The
blonde women were just portrayed that way.”

According to Allman, Marilyn Monroe is the ultimate perpetuation of the stereotypical
dumb blonde.

"Sort of like the idea that all fooibal players are dumb," Allman says. He adds that
because many groups of people, like homosexuals, arc insulted by jokes that make fun of
them, "Our focus in humor has narrowed. Wc realize that people arc more sensitive.”

Outside oflhcclassroom, Allman specializes his studies and lectures in film humor and
humoraboutrelaiionships between men and women.

Alumni: |

The backbone of every college I

(CPS) — They might be gone, but they
certainly arc not forgotten.

Alumni, in fact, arc on the minds of
college and university administrators more
often these day, playing an increasingly
large role in keeping affordable education
alive and well during times of financial
difficulty.

"They arc absolutely essential. Thai’s
the backboncofitall," says Charlotte Hcartt,
director of development at Smith College
in Northampton, Mass.

Statistics agree. The 1991 Voluntary
Support of Education survey published by
the Council for Aid to Education showctl
that U. S. colleges snagged S9.8 billion in
contributions during the 1990 academic
year, the highest amount ever.

Alumni contributions accounted for 26
percent of that total — an estimated $2.S
biUion.Corporaiions.foundations.rcligious
organizations and other indivuals donated
the rest

"As colleges arc feeling more financial
pressure, they arc going to try to gel more
money”from voluniarysourccs, says David
Morgan of Council for Aid to Education 's
Alumni Scviccs. "By and large, voluntary
support has grown steadily over the past 30
years."

Most colleges and universities have
noticed the trend, scoring record-breaking
Capital Campaigns for donaiionsand
developing new, innovative alumni
programs in which people can donate lioihc
money and services.

“Wc’vc seen a dramatic increase in the
number of volunteers." says Richard
Tantillo. director of development at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy.
N.Y. "If alumni arc involved in another
way first it makes them more passionate
when they get to fund-raising.”

Volunteer serrvices offered by alumi at

various schools include recruiting, serving &
on legislative committees to lobby strtilc ^
governments, serving on college steering
committees and other boards and working

Stanford Univcntily, which is .second in
the nation in both corporate and other
voluntary gift-receiving, relics heavily on
voluntccrism as well.

Stanford has almo.sicndcdiisccnicnniul
Capital Campaign, which has rntsed $1.2

rc<iuirc.s a huge volunteer siruciure,''says
Elizabeth Sloan, director of
communicalionsinSlanfurd'sdcvclopmcnl
office. " Wc have a more committed group
of alumni than wc'vc ever hud before."

Of the $1.2 billion total, about $760
million carnc from alumni contributions.

To date, Stanford’s fivc-ycur campaign is
ihc largest in the nation;s history, But,
bothllarvurd Uniersily and Cornell
University have recently launched
campaigns with loftier goals.

Prankie and Johnny' a sure fall smash

I By Janet Inman
o FromthedircctorofsuchhilTVsiicoms
^ like Lavcmc & Shirley, Happy Days and
box office smash Pretty Woman comes
one of the most refreshing movies of the
season. Garry Marshall has again struck it
rich with the Paramount Pictures release,
Frankie & Johnny.

Frankie, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, is
a waitress at a family-owned diner in New
York City. Johnny, played by A1 Pacino, is
an ex-con who is looking for work after
being in jail for two years for forgery. He
devclopsaknackforcooking.sohedccides
that he wants to be a short-order cook.
Fortunately for himself, he gets ajob at the
same diner that Frankie works aL This
happens to be a typical romance, because

boy meets girl, boy wants girl, girl hates
boy, girl wants boy, boy finally gets girl.

As far as Johnny isconcemed, the twoof
them should most definitely get together.
butFrankicdoesn’tthinkso.She thinks that
all these little coincidences are just a little
too much for her to handle, especially the
one that says they were both bom and brought
up in the same small Pennsylvania town.
Thaipushc5hertothclimit,andcauscsthem
to fight even more than before.

As the movie progresses, they get
together, and even though they become
lovcis.ailhispointin the movie, the romance
is very short lived. They start fighting all
over again, but that shouldn’t surprise you.
Whatmay surprise you is ihcending, which,
by the way, I am not going to tell, because

Shedd

Aquarium

diat would ruin it for you. You’ll just have
to go out and sec the movie for yourself.

Michelle Pfeiffer,
who play sFrankie as if
they are one and the
same, does a
spectacular job of
convincing the
audience that she is a
woman who is in
control, and who
knows whaishe wants.

Unfonunately, the real
Frankie is not like that
She would rather sitat
home with her VCR at
order pizza than go out
on a date. “That’s dinner and a movie, and

I don’t have to deal with some schmuck
trying to put his tongue in my car.’’ Well
said, Frankie.

A1 Pacino gives a
remarkable performance as
Johnny, a street-wise ex-
con who becomes quite a
chef while in the slammer.
He seemed to really enjoy
the change in the type of
role, especially since he
almost always plays the bad
guy in movies. He has a
real sense of humor, and I
think that it should be
played more to his
advantage, because he
really is quite good.

Real-life 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'

small town, about 50 miles north of Springfield.

Like.. .tomato wars.

On SepL 28, residents paid a war lax of SI foradults,50centsforchildrcnand
searched through gardens for overripe, mushy, frost-burned tomatoes.

Divided into two battalions, the Jet Stars and the Supersonics, the warriors hurled the
damaged fhiit at each others bodies and heads.

Before the festivities began, the "Archduke oflhe Supersonics" and the "Czar of the Jet
Stars" were, uh, executed by a firing squad armed with - what else? - tomatoes.

City officials say the "Mother of All Battles tomato fight" came about because of a city
ordinance that ordered residents to get rid of frost-damaged produce.

The entire cast is new. When the curtain
goes up for the 1991-92 men’s basketball
seasonatJolietJuniorColIcgc, notone person
affiliated with last year’s Wolves’ cage
production will be on board.

JJC has a new director and producer-first
year head coach Pat Klingcr-an individual
who made his mark as a top recruiter and
assistant coach at Eastern New Mexico
University, as NCAA Division 11 school.
Klinger b^mes JJC's fourth head coach in
the last seven seasons. If the Wolves’ athletic
program is lucky, Coach Klinger will be at
the campus on 1216 Houbolt Avenue for
quite some time.

"We want to bring prestige back to the
Joliet Junior College men’s basketball
program,"saysCoachPat Klinger. “Opposing
teams used to hate to come and play at Wills

By Dove Parker

Renee Gillispie begins her initial season
as the Lady Wolves’ head basketball coach.
And if Coach Gillispie works the same
wonders on the hardwood that she (fid on iJtc
softball diamond, than the 1991-92 Joliet
Junior College women's basketball program
sliouldbemakingapositivcium forthebcticr
in quite a hurry.

"We will try to be as competitive as
possible this season,” says head coach Renee
Gillispie. "We have some hard-working
players and they arc willing to pay the price
to be successful."

During the last two women’s basketball
seasons, Joliet Junior College has won only
eight games. A year ago, JJC posted a 6-18
record, including a 1-11 slate in the North
Central Community College Conference.

“We have a lot more numbers than wedid
last year,” she says. "Right now we have 17
pbyerstiyingout for the team. Having better
numbers will definitely help us out for '91-

’92”

Coach Gillispie returns one of the N4C's
premier players in sophomore point guard
Doris Haycs.aformerMitTOoka High School
standout athlete. A stellar pitcher in softball
for the Lady Wolves, Hayes led the N4C in
scoring last season with a22.7 scaring average.
Anadqnballhandler, Hayes averaged 21.05
points a game for all games last year.

Shooting 53.7 percent from the field last
year, Hayes was ihinj-icam N4C All League
pick. Gillispie re turns two oiha players from
last year's team, forward Jerilyn Konc and
center Carmen Tucker.

“Having Carmen the entire season will
definitely help our inside game and
rebounding," says coach Gillispie. “Carmen
is a solid post player and she should open
things up offensively for Doris.

“Doris is a fine basketball player and
tremendous all-around athlete. I believe that
she will still score a lot of points this season,

Gymnasium. Unfortunately, that hasn’t
been the case in recent years.”

The Wolves’ have won 23 basketball
games the last two seasons, A year ago,
JJC posted a 12-18 record. Klinger hopes
to move the JJC men’s program in the
proper, honest direction in a hurry.

'The Joliet and surrounding area,
including Chicago, is a hotbed for young
basketball talent I honestly believe that
JJC could be one of the nation’s top
basketball programs," says Klinger.

"1 love working with Vince McMahon.
Coach McMahon knows what it takes to
build a slid athletic program and he has
been super to work with. I really enjoy
working with the staff wc have here at
JJC.

“And the Joliet-area prep basketball
coaches have been very receptive. And

but we certainly want to get her some
scoring help...Jusi to take some of the
scoring slack off her back," continued
Gillispie.

"And Jerilyn has worked very hard to
improve her overall game. She is a hard
worker and coachabic.”

Coach Gillispie is looking forward to
the rigors of the current cage season. The
Lady Wolves begin a rugged N4C
campaignat5p.m.onThursday,Jan.9at
home against Triton College.

"Since wc don’t possess a lot of big,
tall girls, we will probably go with a one-
post offense,” she says. “We will attempt
10 distribute the scoring a little more to
take some pressure off Doris. However,
wcdon’thaveagrcaipcrimeter-shooting

“Defensively, we will play a lot of
zone. Our quickness is average, but wc
will try to pressure the ball as much as
possible."

that is another positive. I’m anxious to
get the season underway,” he says.

With the likes of sophomore Darrell
Hudson from Yazoo City High School
in Missouri and sophomore point guard
Randy Tucker from Joliet Central High
School, the Wolves should play an
exciting brand of basketball.Ifthc pieces
of the puzzle fall into place. i.e., the
addition of Chris Lee from Rich Central
H,S. and Hillel Watkins from Chicago
Hyde Park, then the Wolves could very
wellviefortheNorthCentralCommunity
College Conference championship in
‘91-92.

“We will try to play an up-tempo
style of game with this particular group
of students/athletes,” said Klinger.
"Besides possessing very team speed,
these young men have the ability to
really getafter the composition defensively.

"Our man-lo-man, pressure defense
should be solid. We will stress our
offensive sets, but we want to always be
sufficient on defense. Your defense
should always be constant We always
want to keep pressure on the opposition
and make them commit the mist^es and
miscucs.”

Promising freshmen include Scott
Hasenjaeger from Joliet Central, Chris
Edmonds from Manual High School in
Indianapolis, Jason Venn from Seneca
High School. Scan Rccd from Strcaior
HighSchool.AlbenDixonfromChicago
Austin High School and Keith Kinzlcr
from Joliet Catholic Academy.

“For the first year, that number of
seven freshmen and three sophomores is
a good one," says Klinger. “I really
enjoy working with this group of young
student/aihictes. They work very hard at
practice.”

The Wolves’ begin their season on
December MalhomeagainstChicago’s
Kennedy-KingCollege.’’Hopefully,we
will be ready to make a strong, powerful
run in the conference by the time that
initial N4Cgames rolls around.”he says.

“Chris was probably our best football player in 1991,” said bead foodmall coach,
Vince McMahon.“Hc worked hard andnever let upeithcrduringagameorinpracticc.
Chris will make a fine player for some four-year college or university."

"He was such a versatile player for us in 1991 that we sometimes played him on
defense,” he said. “He was so valuable to us offensively, that we kept him on offense
for a majOTity of the season."

Wolves’ sophomore tight end Tom McCoy was selected to the 1991 N4C All-
Conference second team. A 6’3”, 220-pourtd player, McCoy isa graduate of Lincoln-
