EDINBORO UNIVERSITY

PRESIDENT FOSTER F. 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.

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

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

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 position remains wide open as the
Scots enter the 1988 camp in August.

remaining in the third quarter. But just 2 min­
utes into the final stanza, Larkin's 3-yard TD
run was the difference.

the Flames' 8-yard line on downs putting the
Plaid at 0-1 to ^gin the '87 season.

nected with Daryl Cameron from 27 yards out
for the margin of victory.
Jim Ross connected on ll-of-19 passing

more on 23 carries to pace the Scots.

lUP 28 - Edinboro 17
Now standing at an even 2-2, the Scots
were in a must win situation against the
Indians. EU found die going real tough against
lUP and fell by 11 points. A rugged lUP
ground game and an inconsistant Edinboro
offense spelled defeat.
The Plaid did get on the board first, as
Weber connected on a record-setting 52-yard
field goal for the 3-0 edge.
From then on though, the Indians' ball
control offense and solid defense was the dif­
ference. lUP gained 206 yards on the ground
and 192 through the air on the day.
Standouts for the Indians that day, includ­
ed quarterback Jim Pehanick, who connected
on 15-of-27 passes for 192 yards and 2 touch­
downs and runningback "Pudgy" Abercrombie,
who tallied 102 yards on 22 carries.
The Scot defense once again got great
efforts from linebackers Scott Brown (15 tack­
les) and A1 Donahue with 14 stops.
West Chester 49 - Edinboro 28
The Eastern Division champion Golden
Rams of West Chester came out smoking and
put the game away with 28 straight points to

the '87 season progressed falling to the Golden
Eagles of Clarion University by the 24-point
margin.
CU ran up 21 consecutive points to start
the game and never looked back. Clarion quar­
terback Doug Emminger, who was 23-of-32 for
296 yards and 4 scores on the day, got the
Golden Eagles rolling with touchdown passes
to Tony Giavedoni and Ron Urbansky covering
15 and 10 yards respectively. Fullback Keith
Powell capped the Clarion scoring in the first
half when he went in for the score with just :15

chance to score before the intermission, quar­
terback Jim Ross connected with wideout
Ernest Priester from 80 yards away to get the
'Boro their initial score.
fri the second half, the Scot offense again
lacked consistancy and the Golden Eagle
offense rolled. Emminger threw for 2 more
scores and 2 more backs scored on ground to
pace the attack.
'Boro scores in the final 2 periods included
a 26-yard run by Ross, a 42-yard field goal by
Darren Weber and a 15-yard scoring strike from
Ross to speedster Cleveland PratL
Edinboro 31 - Lock Haven 21
The Scots posted their final win of the '87
season with a 10 point decision against the Bald
Eagles of Lock Haven. The Plaid scored in
every quarter and also received some top defen­
sive efforts to key the win.
Following an early lead by LH on a long
pass play, EU kick returner Cleveland Pratt
showed why he was one of the best in Division
n racing 100 yards with an ensuing kickoff to
knot the score. His effort tied an Edinboro
record.
Bald Eagle runningback Stacy Noble put
LH back on top with a 10-yard run for a 14-7
edge. But the Scots followed with consecutive
1 yard runs by Elbert Cole and quarterback Jim
Ross for the touchdown advantage at the inter­
mission.
In the third stanza. Cole, who ended the
day with 100 yards on 25 carrries, added a 10yard touchdown run to up the Scots' lead to 2814 with 3:52 left in the quarter.

score, as Richard Nurse was on the receiving
end of a 36-yard pass from quarterback Rich

27

Hunter. The score then read 28-21 with still
over a quarter to play.
The Scot defense then played a solid
fourth to seal the win. The only score in the
final period was a 22-yard field goal by the
Plaid's Darren Weber. '
Defensive standouts for the Scots included
linebackers A1 Donahue (14 tackles) and Cary
Braxton (10 stops). Tackle Mark Jozefov added
10 tackles from his interior position.
Shippensburg 18 - Edinboro 16
The Scot defense played much improved
once again, but a host of second half turnovers
cost the Plaid another victory. Their 2-point
loss on the road was a tough one to take.
Defensively for the Scots, linebacker A1
Donahue was all over the field, collecting 18
tackles and a pass broken up. Senior Rob Lewis
played his best game ever for the Scots, being
credited with 12 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tacldes for
loss and a fumble cause, from his defensive end
spot.
On the offensive side of the ball the Scots
threw for 175 yards, compared to just 113 for
Shipp, but quarterback Jim Ross tossed 4 inter­
ceptions along the way.
Scot runningbacks Elbert Cole and Chris
Conway ran for 56 and 44 yards respectively,
bu^ the story of the day was the effort of SU
ryhningback Bob Plummer, who rushed for 160
yards on 29 carries and 2 touchdowns.
California 28 - Edinboro 17
The Vulcans visited Sox Harrison Stadium
for the Scots final home game of the '87 season

Sam Maimery tossed a pair of short touch­
downs to rurmingback Sean Densmore to key

Ross' passes, grabbing 3 balls for 132 yards and
a pair of touchdowns.

10-6, at the 3:43 mark of the second quarter,

Plaid fell behind 28-10, before Cole cormected

28

with Priester on a halfback pass covering 66
yards and a score.

their '87 season with a loss on the road at the
hands of NAIA power Shepherd College of
West Virginia.
The Golden Rams of Shepherd gained 272
yards on the ground and 130 more through the
air to total 402. The Scots were equal to the
challenge in the air as quarterbacks Jim Ross
and freshman Hal Galupi combined to throw
for 280 yards.
But the difference in the game was the
running attack of the Golden Rams and the lack
of pass protection for the Plaid. Shepherd
scored 3 times on the ground led by senior tail­
back Bobby Williams who rushed for 153 yards
and twice hit paydirt. The Scots, who had lived
by the ground attack for the last 2 seasons, were
held to -39 yards on the ground. On the day, EU
quarterbacks were sacked 11 times for a loss of
nearly 90 yards.
Quarterback Ross concluded the '87 sea­
son with his twelfth consecutive 100 yard pass­
ing day, throwing for 181 against the Golden
Rams.
The Plaid concluded their year 3-8.

The state universities spent the first 100
years of existence training teachers for
Pennsylvania's schools. 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.
