DIED OLD College in New Jersey; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Neptune Township Public Schools in New Jersey. A graduate of Monmouth College, President Diebold holds a bachelor of science in education and a master of arts in educational administration from Seton Hall University. He has met course requirements for his doctorate in education at Rutgers University and is cur­ rently enrolled in the Ph.D. program in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh. The University now offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity uiunatched by any other college or university in northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the educa­ tional needs of its region from both a profes­ sional and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education, government, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Recent program developments include those in the high-demand areas of allied health, business administration, communication, computer tech­ nology, ninsing, and various pre-professional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, phar­ macy and veterinary science. Numerous student internships provide additional examples of the University's efforts to create a close working relationship with the people it serves while, at the same time, offering students intellectual and career opportunities. Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in their major fields and in other disci­ plines. Honors students pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than those required of oUiCT undergraduates. After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading edu­ cational institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the Uruversity is within 100 miles of the education­ al and cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pitj^urgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the thifd largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by interstates 79, 80 and 90. Edinboro has the distinction of being the second normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings including the 400,000 volume Baron-Fomess Library, a modem seven-story structure which serves as a focal point for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,500 students representing almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service and research is matched by a distinguished fac­ ulty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees. 2 Foster F. Diebold As vice-chairperson of the American Association of State Colleges ^d Universities' Committee on Governance, President Diebold has initiated the development of a Code of Ethics Statement for university presidents rep­ resented by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. He has positioned himself to become a contemporary expert in the field of higher education ethics and is frequent­ ly called upon to lecture on this subject. Since his appointment as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania on August 1, 1979, Foster F. Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies and programs designed to complement his desire for an increased level of excellence and quality in higher education. President Diebold also serves as chairper­ son of the Advancement Committee of the Chancellor's Executive Council (State System of Higher Education). He is a member of the Western Pennsylvania Education Council and the International Association of University Presidents. Noted for his extensive experience in the field of education management. President Diebold previously served as president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. His principal fields of professional interest include ethical issues in higher education, higher edu­ cation management, budget development and fiscal control, legislative affairs, personnel management and collective bargaining, and international education. Active in the community, the President, among other activities, serves on the Board of Directors of the United Way of Erie County, the Board of Corporators of the St. Vincent Foundation for Health and Human Services, and the Advisory Board of the McMannis Educational Trust Fund. President Diebold is also a member of the Hamot Medical Center Board of Corporators, the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation Scholarship Review Committee, and the Marine Bank Advisory Board. A native of Orange, New Jersey, President Diebold served as president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Prior to that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assistant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of the Division of College Development and Plaiming at Kean President Diebold resides in Edinboro with his wife, Patricia, and daughters, Jessica and Stacey. 3 ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JIM McDONALD has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Conference crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master'? degree in health from the University of Buffalo. As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basketball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basket­ ball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was hon­ ored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's honors also include selection to the West Virginia AllTime College Basketball Team and member­ ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive community involvement. He was Little League Baseball director for four years and also held a four-year post as a mem­ ber of the General McLane School Board. He and his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons Mark, Mike and Matthew. Jim McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talented and aggressive lea^rship of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Inbreased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numerous changes and inno­ vations have also keyed the Scots' athletic pro­ gram under his direction. Through his efforts more than 2.6 milhon dollars has been raised during the past five years. The funds generated by the energetic ath­ letic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who com­ pete in the Scots fifteen intercollegiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical educa­ tion professor has vastly expanded the University's summer activities. Forty-four camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight. The personable acetic director also intro­ duced E<^boro's Hall of Fame program which 4 HEAD COACH TOM HOLLMAN his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education firom Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year starter for the football team and a two-way performer as a defensive back and offensive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school record with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and All-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. A chronological look at Hollman's coach­ ing career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73. His Greenville squads posted an impressive 26-2-2 mark during his three-year stay. Hollman then moved on to Fremont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champs in 74, unbeaten at 9-0-1. In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University. The following year, Hollman accepted the head coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad to the best four-year record in the school's history (24-11-1). In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coach­ ing spot with Ball State University which he held through the '84 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held the defensive coordinator position at Ohio University. Looking ahead to the 1988 football cam­ paign, the Scots will return a wealth of talent at the skill positions, hoping to improve on their 3-8 slate of a year ago. "It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added. "I have found the community to be supportive and the administra­ tion is giving me every opportunity to be suc­ cessful here at Edinboro," he concluded. Tom Hollman In January, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as its eleventh head football coach in the school's history. Hollman comes to Edinboro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator for the past three seasons. "I am very excited to be here, " Hollman commented. "I have been very impressed with the people I have come in contact with here at Edinboro UnivCTsity. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to run a solid football program." "As a coach, I have been fortunate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." "I feel one of the most important things about football on the Division II level is to make it fun for the players involved. My initial goal for this team is to make football an enjoy­ able environment for the team and coaching staff," Hollman added. Hollman's educational background begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by 5 ASSISTANT COACHES DAN GIERLAK - Runningbacks Dan Gierlak enters his second season as a full-time coach with his responsibilities con­ cerning the runningbacks. Recently, Gierlak was also appointed the head women's softball coach here at Edinboro. Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel College (Pa.) where he coached the defensive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a starta: and three-year letterwirmer for the Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cowboys. During his short stint with the Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained national championship honors in 1984 and run­ ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gierlak brings both playing and coaching experience to the staff, giving the Scot players an added plus on the offensive side of the ball. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Dan graduated from Edinboro with a degree in sec­ ondary education. He is single and resides in Edinboro. EDINBORO UNIVERSITY'S 1988 FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF: (L-R) Head Coach Tom HoUman, Gene Smith, Scott Browning, Mark Niswonger, Dan Gierlak, and Paul Dunn. SCOTT BROWNING - Secondary Moving to the defensive side of the ball, from/the offensive backfield, Scott brings a weafth of coaching experience in his third year at the 'Boro. Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio State University, where he coached receivers and runningbacks including Keith Byers. Prior to his start at OSU, Browning coached at Worthington and Dayton-Fairview High Schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a graduate assistant, he coached the defensive secondary at New Mexico State in 1982. In 1983, he mentored the receivers at Idaho State University which advanced to the Division I-AA playoffs. Browning earned a master's degree in edu­ cation administration from New Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in education from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier, before transferring to OSU, Scott attended Capital University where he played football for one season. Browning was a four-year letterman in four sports at Loudenville High School (OH) prior to his col­ legiate days. He is single and resides in Edinboro. PAUL DUNN - Offensive Line In his third year as offensive line coach for the Fighting Scots is Paul Dunn. He was a three-year starter at guard at the University of Pittsburgh, and an assistant coach at both Pitt and Penn State University before coming to the 'Boro. Dunn brings extensive knowledge to the Scot coaching staff. Highly respected as a master of the offen­ sive interior, Duim has molded a solid line for the Fighting Scots. Upon graduation from Pitt in 1983 with a BS in administration of justice, Dunn served as a graduate assistant line coach at Pittsburgh (83-84) and Penn State (84-86). Dunn, this past summer, headed the 1988 All-Pro Football camp here at the University. He slated such talents as Dan Marino, quarter­ back of the Miami Dolphins; Jimbo Covert, offensive tackle of the Chicago Bears and Russ Grimm, offensive guard of the World Champion Washington Redskins. Dunn's rela­ tionship with these three All-Pros goes back to their playing days at Pitt. The Prospect, Pa., native is married to the former Melody Eckles and they have a twoyear old daughter Katie. 6 Niswonger's education includes an under­ graduate degree in physical education from Findley and a MA in physical education from Ball State. Mark is single and resides in Edinboro. JOE MANCUSO AND DAVE HIGHAM Student Coaches A pair of former Fighting Scot gridders will join the coaching staff for the 1988 season. Mancuso wiU enter his third season as a student coach after a severe shoulder injury sidelined him three years ago. He was a twoyear letterman for the Scots before the injury, playing fullback and on special teams. Joe began his coaching career two years ago tutor­ ing the wide receivers, then was given extended responsibilities last season, overseeing the spe­ cial teams. For the 1988 campaign, he will coach the tight ends. Mancuso came to the 'Boro from Connellsville High School where he lettered three years in football and basketball. He is currently working on his degree in sec­ ondary education and social studies. Higham, an outstanding offensive lineman for the Fighting Scots, begins his first season in helping with the squad. Currently a graduate assistant in the Athletic Department, Higham is working towards a master's degree in secondary administration. He recently completed his requirements for a BS in health and physical education. Higham will begin his coaching career this season with the Scots helping with the defen­ sive line. As a collegiate, Dave started three seasons for the Plaid, gaining many post season honors along the way. "Higs" came to the 'Boro from Hubbard High School (OH) whCTe he received three letters in football, three in track and four in wrestling. MARK NISWONGER - Defensive Coordi­ nator/Linebackers Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the coach­ ing ranks for 15 years, begins his initial season with the Plaid as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Former imderstudy of head coach Tom HoUman at Findley CoUege (OH), Mark brings extensive experience both on and off the field to the Scot coaching staff. His coaching stint began back while attending Findley when he was the head scout for Arlington High School. The next two sea­ sons, Niswonger was the defensive coordinator at West Carrollton High School (OH) where his squad posted an impressive 17-1-2 slate. Dtiring his stay there, he also helped coach the offensive line and aided in the scheme of the team's offensive structure. FoUowing his first high school coaching days, he then returned to graduate school at B^ State University where he helped with the tight ends and offensive linemen. From 1981-84, Niswonger was the head coach at Franklin City Schools and was named "coach of the year" in 1982 when his squad won its first league championship in 18 years. He then moved on to the collegiate rariks in 1984 at Manchester College as defensive coor­ dinator and then back to his alma mater from 85-87 as their secondary coach. 7 ATHLETIC STAFF assistant to the athletic director. He brings a wealth of talent and experience to the adminis­ trative level of the athletic program and plays a vital role in overseeing the academic progress of student athletics as well as coordinating the on-going functions of the athletic director's office and the summer programs which involve the department. The West Newton, Pa., native is a 1954 Slippery Rock University graduate and also owns a master's degree from Penn State. After a three-year stint with the U.S. Army Security Agency in Europe, he coached basketball and baseball at Moshannon Valley (Pa.) High School before accepting a guidance position in the West York Area School District in 1961. He became a member of Edinboro's admissions office a year later and in 1967 was named director of admissions. Dr. Kathleen Lipkovich Associate Athletic Director Dr. Kathleen Lipkovich was named Edinboro's first associate athletic director at the outset of the 1981 school year to help adminis­ ter both the men's and women's athletic pro­ gram.

Penny, have a sixyear-old daughter, Kristin. Four-tier taping bench: training room facility in McComb Fieldhouse 8 9 A LOOK AT THE 1988 SEASON ence down the stretch of the '87 season and will likely push Ross for the top spot. Ross connected on 147-of-276 passes last season for 1,903 yards and 12 touchdowns. He threw for over 173 yards per game and tossed 13 interceptions in the Scots 11-game schedule. Galupi played in just two games, completing over 50% of his passes for 145 yards and one score. At runningback, the Scots could be con­ sidered one of the best in the league. First-team All-PSAC back Elbert Cole returns for his junior year, and should be better than ever. Cole rushed for 635 yards on 140 attempts last sea­ son, with eight touchdowns and a 4.5 yard percarry mark. He was also the teams' leading pass receiver, grabbing 24 receptions for 251 yards and a score. The Plaid will obviously rely on Cole a great deal in '88. Looking to take some of the heat off of Cole will be speedster Chris Conway. The Oil City, PA, sprinter is a game-breaker, evidence of his totals in limited action last year. In just nine games, behind Cole and now-graduated Floyd Faulkner, Conway rushed for 185 yards on 45 attempts and one score, while also caught 14 passes for 140 more and two touchdowns. The Plaid will also have great skill at the wide out positions. Seniors John Toomer and Cleveland Pratt return for their final season. Toomer averaged 16.5 yards per catch last sea­ son with three touchdowns, while Pratt caught 20 passes for 245 yards and one score. Pratt, the PSAC champion in the 100 meter dash, will also return kickoffs for the squad. In '87, Pratt was the fifth in the country in kickoff returns, averaging 26.9 ypr on 26 returns, including a 100-yard score against Lock Haven. The scenario is a fapiliar one for the Edinboro University football team approaching the 1988 season. A new coach, new^offensive and defensive systems, and a squad dominated by underclass­ men will make a ruif at the Western Division title of the rugged Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. A stiff challenge is ahead for first-year head coach Tom Hollman and his Fighting Scot squad, but do not count them out. A host of skill people return on the offensive side of the ball and the defense has added key personnel to try and fill the holes. "I understood the challenge when I took the head coaching position." Hollman said. "This is an institution that has a winning tradi­ tion in all sports and football has been very suc­ cessful. As for the '88 season, I feel that we had an excellent spring session with a fine group of athletes and young men. We accomplished what we had to, to prepare us for the fall schedule. "We play a strong non-conference sched­ ule that should prepare us well for the league play," Hollman added. "The coaching staff, plaj^s and I, are well aware of what lies ahead for'Edinboro football. Traditionally this pro­ gram has been a winner and that is where we plan on keeping it." The 1988 schedule is solid for the Scots, with early tests coming from NCAA Division IAA opponent Liberty University (VA) in the home opener September 3, followed by a visit from Saginaw Valley State University (MI) on September 10 for Parents' Day. The Scots will then travel to New Haven (CT) before opening conference play against PSAC champ lUP in Indiana on the 24th. Kutztown will then follow to conclude their non-league play, before the Plaid plays five consecutive conference games to conclude their 10-game slate. Clarion (homecoming), at Lock Haven, Shippensburg, at California and home against Slippery Rock dot the '88 schedule. OFFENSIVE LINE The Plaid will have to make improvement here if they are going to contend for the title. The Scots ran for just 123.2 yards per game last season, a total much lower than normal for the run-oriented squad. All-conference selection Mark Courtney will return at tackle to anchor the front, as will center Joe Brooks, guard Dean Gallagher and tackle Ron Hainsey. A year of playing together will likely help this group. Tightend Brian Ferguson (11 catches for 1^ yards, 1 TD) will also return up front. Ferguson OFFENSE: SKILL POSITIONS The Scots will be solid at quarterback with the constant development of jtmior signal-caller Jim Ross and sophomore Hal Galupi. Ross broke school records in attempts and yards passing, while Galupi gained vduable experi­ 10 and Randy Mcllwain will hold down the TE spot. KICKING GAME: PLACEKICKING Sophomore Darren Weber, from nearby Erie, PA, will likely win the honors here. His 52-yard field goal last year against lUP is a school-record and is tied for second on the alltime PSAC list. For the year, Weber cormected on 7-of-14 FG tries and 25-of-26 extra points for a 46 point total, second best on the squad in '87. DEFENSE: DEFENSIVE LINE The Scots will have to find the personnel up front to contain the running game. Last sea­ son the Plaid surrendered too many yards on the groimd to contend. Second team All-PSAC selection Mark Jozefov will return at tackle to anchor the interior. Jozefov recorded 69 tackles last season as a freshman and led the squad in tackles for loss with nine. Defensive end Bill Clark, recovering from ankle surgery in the off season, will also return to the front. Clark tal­ lied 68 stops in '87. DE Kurt Schmidhamer, who played in just seven games last year as a frosh, could be the Scots' force up front this season. He recorded 33 stops and recovered a fumble in his limited action last season. LINEBACKERS Could be the strong point for the Scots' defense in '88 with the return of second team All-Conference performer A1 Donahue. As a freshman last season Donahue was outstanding for the Scot defense. He led the squad with 150 tackles, including 79 solo stops. He had a pair of interceptions, two sacks, seven tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and five passes broken up to his credit. The Scot defensive plan may be to move Donahue to the outside linebacking spot. OLB John Williams, who has been in the Scot lineup since his freshman year, will also return to the LB crew. Williams registered 66 tackles in '87, including a pair of sacks. He also was credited with one interception, four passes broken up and one fumble caused. The Scot coaching staff recruited this posi­ tion very heavily for the upcoming season and should likely field another quality freshman to fill the void. Veteran Larry Wanat, 14 stops in five games, will also contend for the final linebacking spot. 11 SECONDARY A major loss to the Plaid defense last sea­ son was the loss of safety Mike Willis, when he went down with injury against Slippery Rock. The Scot defense gave up an average of just ten points per game with Willis in the lineup last season, as compared to 31.6 ppg with him on the bench. A junior this season, Willis was tabbed first-team All-PSAC in '86. Seniors Mikel Green (42 tackles) and Claude Webb (18 tackles and two interceptions) will also return to the defensive secondary. If there is a veteran area on the Fighting Scot squad it is the secondary. KICKING GAME: PUNTING The Scots will have to replace first team All-PSAC punter Mike Raynard who has transfered.

The Normal School Act of 1857 established regional teacher training institutions throughout the Commonwealth. The School Code of 1911 called for the state purchase of all normal schools, and by 1921 the present configu­ ration of 14 state-owned universities was established. The 14 normal schools evolved from state normal schools, to state teachers colleges, to state colleges. On Novanber 12, 1982, Act 188 was signed into law establishing on July 1, 1983 the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Thus, the 13 former state col­ leges joined with Indiana University of Pennsylvania to achieve university status. The universities have a cumulative history of 1,600 years. There are 14 universities in the State System of Higher Education with three branch campuses and the McKeever Enviroiunental Center. The total student population among the System universities is 89,000. While 89% of students are from Permsylvania, they represent many other states and foreign countries. The total university campus has over 4,000 acres in 19 Pamsylvania counties. □ □ □ □ □ Buildings for classrooms, residences, administration and student support number 655. Collectively the 14 universities offer 220 undergraduate and 96 graduate degree pro­ grams, led by 4,500 full-time faculty members. An average 75% of undergraduate stu­ dents receive some form of financial assis­ tance to help meet costs. Several study abroad programs are avail­ able in System universities. System uni­ versities are part of the Pennsylvania Council for International Education. All the universities support life-long learn­ ing programs throughout the academic year. Many feature Elderhostel. Most universities have honors programs, student counseling and career planning, cooperative education, and internship pro­ grams. System library holdings total more than 5 million volumes and 12 million periodi­ cals, microforms, and audio materials. The imiversities in the State System of Higher Education are fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and several appropriate nation­ al professional organizations. Last year, the System awarded 15,128 degrees, over 40% in arts and sciences, 25% in education, 24% in business, and 8% in health-related fields. System graduates living in the Commonwealth munber over 240,000. EDINBORO UNIVERSITY of Pennsylvania 1988 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September 3 Sat. LIBERTY UNIVERSITY (1:00 p.m.) September 10 Sat.
