With the addition of the liberal arts degree program in 1962, the College's curriculum has expanded to include numerous course selections. Curricula range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library science, music and special education to medical technology. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as well as active student par­ ticipation in decisions affecting them. Quality education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as graduates have distinguished themselves in the professions, business and industry. With the appointment of Dr. Chester T. McNerney as Edinboro State's President in 1966, the College has undergone innovations and reorganization that have enabled the College to keep in step with the times and maintain its academic excellence. Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new era and has taken the initiative for a new direction among the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The College plans to offer programs in such diverse fields as international education, business administration and engineering to meet its leadership responsibilities in the years ahead. Edinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney From its beginning as a private academy in 1856, Edinboro State College has surged to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in Western Pennsylvania. Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the College's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of Edinboro Lake, the com­ munity serves as a resort center during the summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the picturesque winter months. The College's location enables it to readily serve the tri­ state area with its proximity to Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland, Ohio (100 miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover, it is easily accessible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by Interstate 90. Until recently the chief objective of the College was the education and preparation of classroom teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. With the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and humanities, Edinboro has now become a multi-purpose institution of higher learning serving the educational needs of a tri-state area. The College has experienced a rapid growth rate in students, faculty and physical plant. Forty buildings cover the 585-acre campus which now services more than 6,000 students. In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the fields of education, government, conservation, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational pro­ grams which will afford maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational needs of its region from a professional and a cultural stand­ point. Keeping pace with the College's academic progress has been a building program which has dramatically changed the physical appearance of the campus over the past decade. Included among the additions are a nine-acre lake, an athletic complex, dormitory quadrant and new student services facilities such as a student union, dining hall and health center. Scheduled for completion in the near future are a new library and administration building. SCOTS’ BIGGEST PROBLEM IS MOVING THE BALL There are 48 new freshmen on the roster, some of whom we'll have to depend on to fill key roles. "It seems that almost every place we have outstanding strengths, we also have glaring weaknesses. For example, we have a fine throwing quarterback in Mike Hill, but our entire receiving corps was wiped out by graduation. Defensively, we probably have the best set of linebackers in the league, but we have to depend on a revamped front line that is still a big question mark. "We've always been blessed with an outstanding break-away runningback. This year we have the kind of people along the offensive line that, if they pull together, could do an outstanding job, yet don't have game-breaking speed in our backfield." While McDonald bemoans the fact that he has a lot of newcomers who will have to fit into the Fighting Scot mold rather quickly, there is still a crop of some fine veterans in front running positions. Some of the Scots' most solid performers are found on the defensive side of the ledger where Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention middle guard Ron Gooden (6-3, 250) is bolstered by standout linebackers Jim Krentz (6-2, 225) and Greg Sullivan (6-1,195). Krentz was the Scots' tackling leader last fall with 113 hits, while Sullivan finished third and Gooden fourth on the tackling charts. Joining the trio up front are tackle Randy Bradshaw(63, 235), along with Willie Curry(6-3,215)andTom Lang(60, 203) who man the terminal spots. Linebacker Greg Sullivan Edinboro State College football coach, Bill McDonald, greeted exactly 96 varsity grid candidates the opening day of pre-season practice, but the large turnout did not cause the Fighting Scot mentor to be overly optimistic for the 1977 season. "That number is deceiving," commented McDonald, "since we have only six seniors and 24 returning lettermen. Our camp is really made up of underclassmen. Returning to set their sites on enemy aerials in the secondary are Mike Jennings (5-11, 175) and Kevin Campbell (5-11,165) who will be supported by newcomers Ken Petardi (6-0, 175) and Dan Fiegl (6-0, 185). Also on tap to help the defensive unit are tackle Tom Greenstone (6-2, 230), end Bruno Capogreco (6-3, 205) and defensive back Rayfield Adams (6-0, 187). A pair of record breakers are missing from the Scots' offensive corps, but junior quarterback Mike Hill has --------------------- ------------------------------------ r-------------------------- SCOUTING THE SCOTS General Facts Name: Edinboro State College Location: Edinboro, Pennsylvania 16444 Enrollment: 6,500 Nickname: Fighting Scots Colors: Red and White Conference: Pennsylvania Conference National Affiliations: NAIA, NCAA, EC AC Field Name (Cap.): Sox Harrison (5,000) Athletic Director: Al Hall Sports Information Director: Paul Newman Sports Information Phone: A,—732-27 1976 Record: 6-4 Conference Place.

Hill reported to the ESC backfield on the second play of last year's final game and promptly broke three Edinboro State passing records. Hill established a new TD passing mark with three aerial scores in that game, while finishing the year with nine touchdown passes, another new standard. He finished the contest with 275 yards in the air which bettered the previous record of 250 set by Jude Basile in 1974. 1977 FIGHTING SCOTS RETURNING LETTERMEN > 24 Offensive Starters - 4 **Lee Barthelmes (6-5, 235, Sr.) OT Ready to make holes along the offensive line are veteran tackles Lee Barthelmes (6-5,230) and Greg Hampy (6-3, 240), along with guards Dave Gallagher (5-10, 195) and Bob Kunkle (6-0, 219). Transfer Dave Jaworski (6-1, 222) has gotten the nod at center, while tackle Jim Wuliger (6-2, 245) and Fred Knoof (6-3, 225) are also expected to see much action. OG **Bob Kunkle (6-0, 219, Jr.) OG ***Greg Hampy (6-3, 240, Sr.) The biggest problem facing the Scots' braintrusts is the replacement of the best pass catching aces in ESC history. Gone from the ranks is a crop of receivers who caught a record-breaking 110 passes for 1,653 yards. Among the group was speedy Howard Hackley who led the assault on the record book by revising eight pass receiving standards. The talented receiver notched new marks for most yards in a game (190), season (972) and career (2,467), as well as most receptions in a game (9), a season (47), a career(135) and most touchdown catches in a season (9) and career (18). Hackley also finished as the team's leading scorer with his 54 points via nine scoring catches. DE Alternating at tight end are juniors Pat McKenrick(6-5, 225) and Bill Kruse (6-3, 215) with Bob Jahn (6-0, 178) stationed at the wide receiver slot and Mike Arcarisi (6-1, 205) listed as the starting flanker. Look for freshman Joe D'Amico (5-10, 180) to push for a regular job as the season progresses. Other record breakers on hand are punters Dan Fiegl (6-0, 185) and John Serrao (5-10V2, 185) who, likewise, etched their names in the Edinboro State record charts. Fiegl posted the best punting average ever with his 39.4 yards per boot in 57 attempts. Serrao got into the standard revising act by successfully booting field goals six times for a new season high. Overall, the 1977 Fighting Scots appear to be solid defensively, but observers in most camps feel the offensive unit will have a tough time tatooing the scoreboard at the same pace past Edinboro State teams have been setting.

In his final season at Indiana, the Tribe finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the greatest offensive unit in the school's history with a 40 points-per-game average. The Wall, Pa., native guided Hopewell High School to a 46-25-1 slate during his seven-year tenure as head coach. His 1960 ball club defeated Braddock High 7-6 and broke their WPIAL 58-game winning streak while his 1963 team captured the Midwest Class A Championship. The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant coach at Braddock High School through two undefeated seasons and also at Latrobe High. McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and a M.Ed. from the Univ. of Cincinnati where he pfayed linebacker under Sid Gillman and his assistant coacfi Paul Dietzel. This team was the original "Chinese Bapdits," a defensive unit which later became famous at Louisiana State University. After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots' mentor continued his education in post graduate work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities. Bill and his wife, Joanne, along with their three children - Amy, Jody and Dave - reside in Edinboro. 1977 ESC FOOTBALL STAFF (L-R): Head Coach Bill McDonald, Denny Creehan, Tom Herman, Barney Rutkowski, Jeff Idzik, Jim Bowen, Ken Walker, Harry Morrison and George Gast. Head Coach - Bill McDonald Bill McDonald carries an impressive 48-24-5 record into the 1977 season after eight years of leading the Fighting Scots' gridiron program. Under his direction, ESC gridders posted identical 9-1 slates in both 1970 and 1971 while piling up a winning streak of 21 straight regular season games. His 48-24-5 mark puts him at the top of the winning percentage list among Edinboro State football coaches with a 67 per cent reading.' After an initial 4-4-1 season in 1969, his Fighting Scots became the greatest in ESC history when they went 8-0 in regular season play, captured the Lambert Bowl, won the Pennsylvania Conference championship and earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs. His 1971 team followed up with an undefeated regular season (9-0) and a second straight PC Western Division title. Over 60 individual and team records have been established during his first seven years at the reigns. BARNEY RUTKOWSKI — Offensive Backs Jim Bowen begins his 11th year with the Edinboro State football program on the defensive side of the ledger. The veteran mentor has primarily worked with the Scots' offensive attack, but for the second year the experienced coach will help fill a gap by directing the linebackers. Bowen served as backfield coach tutoring such greats as Joe Sanford, Jim Romaniszyn, Bob Mengerink and Al Raines. Jim was head football coach at Fairview High School for 10 years and compiled an outstanding record of 76 winsand 12 losses.

Under Watts' tutelage, the Fighting Scots have nailed down backto-back NAIA national championships, while winning 30 straight matches in dual competition. Watts, himself, has been twice-named NAIA Coach of the Year and over the past eight seasons has guided his teams to an amazing 56-8 overall record. While three of four All-Americans are missing from the roster. Watts feels he still has the talent on hand to be one of the top representative teams in the nation. The Scot mentor has his work cut out for him with only senior All-American Dalvin Baehler back in the fold, along with a handful of veterans and some promising new­ comers. Undoubtedly, Baehler will lead the pack, but should be pushed by sophomore Brian Jordan who established himself as a top challenger last season in his freshman debut. Right behind him is All-America hopeful Joe Come who has been slowed throughout his career with untimely injuries. Also showing their heels to the competition should be seniors Dave Hornack and Mark Linder, along with soph transfer Steve Dunham who was the Delaware State high school champ two years ago. The Scots won't have far to go to find top notch competition with backyard rival Indiana University also in contention for the national laurel^^his year. 1977 ROSTER Name Class Hometown/High School ***Baehler, Dalvin *Bogaty, Rich ***Come.

Conference at Mansfield 19 NAIA at Kenosha, Wisconsin "We're a young team. If we hang together and develop character, we'll win a lot of games." This was Edinboro State's Soccer Coach George Shimpeno's assessment in regard to the Scots' upcoming 1977 soccer campaign. Shimpeno was referring to the Fighting Scots' youthfulness this season. Since the squad's defense has vanished from last year via the diploma route, Shimpeno will overload his defensive unit with three starting sophomores and one freshman. "The success of this season will depend on how well we can build a defense," continued the eighth-year ESC soccer mentor. The senior trio of Roberto Serrano, Amilcar Flores and Frank Hartmann will head the cast of underclassmen. Serrano was among the team's leading scorers last season with five goals and two assists, while Flores chipped in with one goal and five assists. Edinboro will be attempting to improve on last year's 6-51 record with a bolstered offense which includes junior Jim Basilone and freshman Jim Boyles providing the fire power. Versatile senior Frank Hartmann also adds depth to the squad. Holding down the Scot defense will be sophomore Henry Arch, said to be the "strongest and most aggressive defender" by Shimpeno. Arch will be used mainly as a sweeper back. Pius Takang, a sophomore from Cameron, Africa, will also see a lot of action this season on defense, as will freshmen Bucky Cosgray and Jim Boyles. In the goal this season for Edinboro State will be returning letterman Gabriel Castillo, a junior who has had plenty of experience. Complementing Castillo and pro­ viding plenty of competition is freshman Leon Green. The Richlands, North Carolina product is new to the game, but has been impressive in early drills. Overall, the Scots will carry eight returning lettermen on a roster of 25 this season and will be competing in Division I of the Western Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Soccer Conference.

However, the Scot hooters are lacking depth and injuries will play a key factor in the squad's success. Shimpeno expects Behrend to be the team to beat in the western division this fall, with Slippery Rockand Indiana as top challengers. Since the University of Pittsburgh is Shimpeno's alma mater, the clash with the Panthers takes on a special meaning to the ESC coach. With last year's series-evening 2-1 win over Pitt still fresh in their minds, the Scots are looking forward to facing the "Steel City" team once again. Helping Shimpeno sharpen the ESC kickers has been graduate assistant Dan Frost, who has shared his valuable experience with the Scot goaltenders. 1977 SOCCER SCHEDULE Coach — GEORGE SHIMPENO Sept.

The quality of play has continually improved, the schedule has become increasingly difficult and spectator participation has grown rapidly. Regular season records of 17-5, 22-2, and 23-2 against impressive competition reflect the improved quality of play. For three consecutive seasons, Edinboro has been selected one of the best 16 college and university teams in 10 eastern states. As one of the "top 16," the Lady Scots competed in regional tournaments at the University of Delaware, Southern Connecticut State College and at home last fall when the Scots hosted 15 other teams from the Eastern region at McComb Fieldhouse. Last season, Edinboro defeated every Pennsylvania team it played with double victories against Pitt and Slippery Rock and single setbacks against Clarion, Indiana, Temple, East Stroudsburg and Perin State. In the regional tournament, Edinboro beat the University of Connecticut and Temple before being eliminated by Cortland and Georgetown. Senior spiker Julie Groves is thi? year's captain with senior setters Anna Sabol and Mary Stickle serving as alternate captains. Highlighting the fall 1977 campaign is the addition of numerous new teams to the schedule. Edinboro will meet Cleveland State, central region powerhouse Cincinnati and Kent State University. Also featured on the schedule is Ohio University, a team the Lady Scots will face at the Pitt Invitational Tournament. Opponents closer to the eastern seaboard are Springfield College (Mass.), Ithaca and Central Con­ necticut. The Lady Scots will be pointing toward a berth, once again, among the top 16 in the regional tournament which, this year, will be hosted at Oswego, New York in November. Name Ht.

Edinboro's second annual invitational tournament includes newcomers Pitt — Johnstown and Cleveland State, along with traditional powerhouses Buffalo^ State, Brockport, Clarion and Slippery Rock. The Lady Scots topped the field of eight entrants last fall when they fought off a determined Pitt team with closely contested 15-10, 11-15 and 15-12 matches. Area volleyball fans were treated to some of the finest competition in the United States with the Scots hosted the EAIAW regional championships. Coach Pat McLane's hopefuls dropped tight 15-10 and 15-13 matches to Cortland State, the team which eventually finished as the tourney runnerup the Scots' chances were hampered as they lost standout Paula Parmeter who was forced to the side lines after injuring her achilles tendon. The University of Maryland defeated Cortland State, 16-14 and 17-15, as 2,400 onlookers witnessed the exciting championship contest. Both teams proceeded to the national finals at the University of Texas. * 1977 VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE Sept. 30 Oct. 4 Oct. 8 Oct. 14-15 20 Oct. 22 Oct. Oct. Oct. 25 29 Nov.

Therefore, any records prior to that season should not be considered as part of the inter­ collegiate football history of Edinboro State College. . Edinboro's intercollegiate football history began in 1926 when Edinboro became a four-year degree granting institution and for the first time played a complete intercollegiate schedule against other fouryear degree granting institutions.

His 1931 -32 cage record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands as one of the best marks ever posted by an Edinboro basketball team. Sox still enjoys watching the Fighting Scots on Saturday afternoons as one of their most ardent fans. Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand area, which seats 3,000 people. Locker space for both the home and visiting teams, the coaching staff offices and locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room. 'fr 'K ^ showers, the weight room and a laundry room are utilized within this space. Also included are restrooms, janitors' facilities, equipment rooms, a large concession stand and a glass enclosed press box. In addition to the football field, the stadium also contains complete track facilities.
