favorite projects is the University Honors Program,
which draws upon the contributions of university
staff for its scholarship funds, and which recognizes
the academic distinction of excellent students by
offering specialized interdisciplinary coursework and
advanced research work.
President Diebold's principal fields of profes­
sional interest include higher education manage­
ment, governance, and planning; budget develop­
ment and fiscal control; legislative liaison; and
personnel management/collective bargaining. While
at Rutgers University in 1963, he received a Wall
Street Journal fellowship.
A native of Orange, New Jersey, he served as
President of the University of Alaska from 19771979. Prior to that, he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and Special Assistant to the
President of the University of Alaska's statewide
system. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of the
Division of College Development at Kean College,
New Jersey (formerly Newark State College), and
from 1965 to 1969, he was Assistant Superintendent
of Neptune Township Public Schools in New Jersey.

Edinboro President - Foster F. Diebold

In just four short years since his appointment in
1979 as Edinboro's 14th president, Foster F. Diebold
has directed the University to its most significant
change in the institution's 125-year history - uni­
versity status. Under Diebold's leadership Edinboro
has undergone dramatic internal and external altera­
tions to provide northwestern Pennsylvanians with a
dynamic, multi-faceted educational force.
Noted for his extensive experience in the field of
education management. President Diebold had pre­
viously served as President of the University of
Alaska statewide system.
His innovative efforts at Edinboro have taken
many shapes. Most recently, he initiated a total
reorganization of the University's various academic
schools and administrative offices with a watchful
eye upon fiscal responsibility and increased institu­
tional responsiveness. In keeping with his policy of
making maximum use of existing campus resources
in higher education, he has imaginatively met the
ever-changing needs brought about by new and
emerging student interests and societal expecta­
tions.
UniqCre cooperative programs with area business
and industry are also the result of President Diebold's
revitalization of Edinboro University. Among his

President Diebold's community service includes
membership on the Board of Corporators, Hamot
Medical Center in Erie, and on Marine Bank's Local
Advisory Board. Recently he was a panel participant
at the First Global Conference on the Future in
Toronto. He also serves as a member of the William J.
McMannis and A. Haskell McMannis Educational
Trust Fund Advisory Board, and Chairman of the
Government, Education, and Social Agencies Divi­
sion of the Erie County United Way Campaign.
Edinboro's president holds an associate degree
in psychology from Monmouth Community College,
West Long Branch, New Jersey; a bachelor of science
degree in education from Monmouth College; a
master of arts In educational administration from
Seton Hall University; and he has met course
requirements for his doctorate in education at
Rutgers University.
President Diebold currently serves as Chairman
of the Committee on Administration and Finance in
the University System of Pennsylvania and is a
member of the Commission of Presidents Executive
Committee. He holds memberships on the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities Com­
mittee on State Relations, and the Government
Relations Committee of the Pennsylvania Associa­
tion of Colleges and Universities. He is also a charter
member of the World Future Society.
The President and his wife, Patricia, have two
daughters, seven-year-old Jessica, and two-year-old
Stacey.

EDINBORO...THE BIRTH
OF A UNIVERSITY
N

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 Univer­
sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in
1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the
forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in
western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the
University is within 100 miles of the educational and
cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is
just 15 miles south of Erie, the third 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 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a
modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point
for the spacious campus. More than 5,800 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 faculty, more than two-thirds
of whom have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 under­
graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a
diversity unmatched by any other college or university in
northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the

educational needs of its region from both a professional
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 technology, nursing, and various pre-profes­
sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy
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 intel­
lectual 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 disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than
those required of other undergraduates.
Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among
the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $8,CKX),000 in
financial aid is available annually to eligible students.
Students are admitted to the University in September,
January, or at the beginning of each summer session and
are considered for admission on the basis of their general
scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT
scores.

MAJOR MOVES MARK MCDONALD MANAGEMENT

Athletic Director - Jim McDonald

Edinboro University's athletic program was
placed under the talented and aggressive leadership
of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis
on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship
foundation has become his top priority while numer­
ous changes and innovations have also keyed the
Scots' athletic program under his direction.
Through his efforts, more than $160,OCX) was
raised over the past year while an additional
$250,000 is anticipated during the 1983-84 sports
campaign. The funds derived through McDonald'^s
endeavors will be used to assist Edinboro's men and
women athletes who, with the recent addition of
men's volleyball along with women's cross country
and swimming, now compete in 17 intercollegiate
sports.
In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected
winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the
former health and physical education professor has
vastly expanded the University's summer activities.
The summer camp program has grown from five
offerings to include 11 interest areas.
In addition to the annual Buffalo Bills-Cleveland
Browns scrimmage at Sox Harrison Stadium as well
as the pre-season drills of the Pitt Panthers,
Duquesne University and 12 area high schools make
Edinboro their camp home. McDonald has construct­
ed 12 new football fields to accommodate these
needs and the Football Camp of Champions that
attracts more than 350 young gridders.
The personable athletic director also staged
Edinboro's first Hall of Fame festivities that featured

the induction of 18 charter members. These past
athletes, coaches and individuals who have promot­
ed the cause of Fighting Scot athletics were honored
at a banquet where more than 500 attendees wit­
nessed their inductions.
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 ESC 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 1965 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's degree in health
from the University of Buffalo. He has done doctoral
work in sports science at West Virginia University.
As an undergraduate, he set nine school records
at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPl
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 basketball tournament in Kansas City,
Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Tourna­
ment 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 honored 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 All-Time College Basketball Team and
membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of
Fame. He served four years on the NAIA's AllAmerican selection committee and was chosen by
the NAIA to coach an All-American team of NBAbound cagers who won the Gold Medal in Israel's
Hapoel Games. His all-star coaching assignment
brought additional recognition since Edinboro was
named as the team's official training site.
In addition to his classroom and basketball
coaching duties, McDonald was Edinboro's golf
coach for 17 years during which his teams won over
40 tournaments and finished as high as 3rd place at
the NCAA Division II National Tournament. He was
twice selected District Coach of the Year in golf.
As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a
record of extensive community involvement. He was
Little League Baseball Director for four years and for
the past three years, has been a member of the
General McLane School Board. He and his wife, Mary
Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike, and Matthew.

“WE SHOULD MOVE THE BALL WELL”

leading ground gainer Mitchell Kelly is missing, letter
winners Damon Chambers (Willingboro, NJ), Ron Rankin,
Harold Grains (Beaver, PA) and Bob Klenk (Pittsburgh) give
the Scot backfield tested performers. Still to be reckoned
with is transfer fullback Ray Rhodes (White Plains, NY) and
soph halfback Scott Rittenhouse (Grennsburg, PA), who
both sparkled in the spring.
A very capable Scott Dodds (Beaver), the author of
numerous junior varsity routs as a freshman, is the top
reliever at quarterback. Freshman Mike Surin (Warren, OH)
fills in behind him.
Moving into the front line of action in the offensive
trenches will be tackles Rick Rosenberg (6-4,250, Chesterland, OH) along with guards Dorn Grande (6-0, 250,
Pittsburgh) and Scott Weinhold (6-4, 240, Pittsburgh).
Newcomers Frank Lucca (6-3, 230, Mentor, OH) and
Anthony Piscitelli (6-0,225, Newcastle, PA) likewise loom
as possible guard starters where Creehan fills his offense
will have some depth. Buddy Carroll (6-2, 230, Alexandria,
VA) has been switched to center after being a left side
regular at tackle last fall. Rosenberg was a three-year
starter at defensive tackle and his experience should make
the transition to defense much easier.
When quizzed about summarizing his offensive forces,
Creehan responded, "If the experience factor doesn't hurt
our offensive line, I feel we'll be just as effective as we were
last year."' "
Edinboro's major strength falls on the defensive side of
the ledger where a unit of stubborn Scots return who
limited opponents tojust lOpoints per outing. "I think we'll
see a faster defensive team," claimed the Boro mentor.

"We might be less physical, but noticeably faster."
Forming a formidable front wall are senior ends Bob
Beauregard (6-2, 225, Grand Island, NY) and Phil Giavasis
(6-0, 214, Canton, OH) along with senior middle guard
John O'Rorke (5-10, 220, Pittsburgh) who is sandwiched
by junior tackles Don Espy (6-3, 235, Brookville, PA) and
Rick Jordan (6-2, 225, Jamestown, NY). Not only does this
group provide the Scots with what Creehan terms "the best
pass rush since I've been here," but they are also backed up
by a crop of defenders who are all pushing for starting
assignment nods. Sean Henderson (6-0,250, West Mifflin,
PA) and pass rushing Matt Grebenc (5-7, 185, Wickliffe,
OH) will vie for nose guard duty along with talented soph
backups at every position.
Perhaps the best situation on the defense occurs at
linebacker where five exceptional players are on hand to
work the two posts. Hard hitting Jim Durkin (5-11, 225,
Westchester, NY) and Bob O'Rorke (6-2, 295, Pittsburgh)
will trade time on the left side with a trio of battle-tested
letter winners ready to run down the opposition from the
right linebacker slot. Fleet-footed Willie Chealey (5-11,
192, Orlando, FL) who appears fully recovered from a leg
injury has the inside track, but Barry Skodak (6-1, 195,
Greensburg, PA) and Randy James (6-2, 200, East Alleg­
heny) are issuing strong challenges to man the position.
Durkin led the tackling assault last year with 105 hits
while John O'Rorke followed with 100 stops and Beaure­
gard was right in step with 98 thumps. Jordan, Bob
O'Rorke, Chealey and Giavasis all registered over 80
tackles in the stingly Scot defense.

“OUR DEFENSE■s IS FASTER”
Back to patrol the secondary for the Plaid is free safety
Dave Parker (Industry, PA) who tied a season record with
his eight interceptions. Also on tap are the Rose brothers,
Greg and Keith (Coraopolis, PA), owners of 87 stops and
four aerial thefts between them. Mike Emge (Beaver Falls,
PA) rounds out the returning quartet with Dan Gierlak
(Buffalo, NY) and Ray Bracy (Youngstown, OH) rotating
throughout the defensive backfield in relief roles.
The biggest question mark lies in the replacement for
record breaking placekicker and Kodak All-America Rich
Ruszkiewicz, the owner of three Edinboro field goal marks.
Creehan feels instant help has been recruited but the
Scots' ability to score three-pointers will become clearer as
the season progresses.

Prior to the 1926 season, Edinboro was a state normal
school and did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule.
Therefore, any records prior to that season should not be
considered as part of the intercollegiate football history of
Edinboro University.
