Show Olympic Winner - 33 WEST VALLEY VIEW Thursday, Jan 27, 1983 Starleen Orullian Teaches , Plays Nt'l Ball by Bernice Ursenbach When I was in the ninth grade, I decided I was going to be a Physical Education teacher, says Starleen and now Im fulfilling Orullian, that dream and teaching P.E. at Riverview junior high. I couldnt be happier. Starleen is a talented young women who says she enjoys the best of two worlds. She teaches P.E. skills to the girls in her classes during the school year and also is an assistant coach at Murray high, working with the volleyball and basketball teams. Then in the summer, she participates in her other first love st-pitch softball - as a catcher for some of the most prestigious womens teams in the world. Playing ball came as naturally to Starleen as walking does to the average child. Her father was active -fa- -- 27S in softball and so she started as his bat boy. By the time she was 9 years old, she was playing in com- petition. As she went through the public school system in Salt Lake, she continued to play softball but also excelled scholastically and served as 9th grade class president, junior class secretary and as student-bod- y president during her senior year. She started at the University of Utah on a leadership scholarship but soon transferred to an athletic scholarship and was a starter for the schools fast pitch softball team. Since graduation from college, she has played on championship ball teams and after the national playoffs In Houston in 1981, she was selected as the Best Womens Fast Pitch Catcher in the United States. She was placed on the first All American team. Starleen had the honor to be selected to play on an Olympic Team representing the United States in the Nichi Cup championship games in Japan. Their team won all 12 of the games played in that Far Eastern country and was the first team to ever leave Japan undefeated. They were awarded a gold medal.

Utech - Carma Pistole Teaches The Art Of Thrift Store Shopping by Margaret Slack I can do it, and I know I can, is the successful motto of a divorced mother-of-tw- o from Murray. When Carma R. Pistole found herself alone, with two children and without means of livelihood, she was terror stricken. But, the need was there, and that is when Carmas success story began. She realized that, to be successful in a job, shed have to dress for it. Fashion had always interested her, as she looked at magazines, observed how successful women dressed and became involved in the fashion world as she began employment. But I couldnt afford to dress the way I liked on my small income, she was aware. So, Carma spent time in the nearly new shops and second-han- d stores, putting, what she terms the look, together. I was interested in skirted suits, the professional dress, not the trendy things so highly advertised in fashion magazines. Researching the past few years (she worked at Adrienne and Emily) I was impressed with suits, high-clas- s style and I watched the fashion coordinator at work. During that time I developed a love for the scarf, the suit and hats. Working for another clothing shop, she further observed the success look, particularly the skirted suits working women wore. I began taking classes at Utah Technical College to learn how to open my own business, she relates. I studied magazines to glean ideas from Glamour and Vogue and realized I couldnt afford what top shops have for sale. So, I searched elsewhere to get that working-woma- n look. Carma puts lots of effort into seeking out specific items in thrift stores, in nearly-neshops and at garage sales. I go looking for a certain color blazer or skirt, or type of shoe or suit. Im not interested in just anything I might see. The fashion industry depends on trendy clothing, she noted, but a working girl must be concerned over how shell be perceived at work. An office manager would be one who would go to work in a blazer and skirt or a suit, not trendy fashions. That attire would give her presence, authority. I believe women are denied the opportunity for growth by the way they dress, rather than their lack of experience or knowledge. When Carma first began shopping stores out of necesthe second-han- d sity, she had to swallow her pride to do so, and ended up with a lot of failure clothing, useless merchandise. First, you need to know about yourself, to be determined to dress as if you had assertiveness, as if you had money, a good income, she counsels. The first step is to inventory yourself, write down your goals. Next, ask if your closet is presentable. You dont want to look like a girl from the country going into the Country Club, she smiles. Inventory your closet and place clothing in the piles indicating presentable, worn, discard.

Carma received help along those lines when she attended classes at Utah Tech in Career Planning and was given the book, Dressing as an assignment. for Success, Ideas from that book were extremely expensive, she says. So, she came for up with the Pistole formula dressing to achieve the same look, but for much less money. The secret to buying, even in a thrift store, is to know what you need before you go. Take your inventory sheet with you so youll know exactly whats in your closet and exactly what you need. I never buy anything that will go with just one outfit. For instance, I have an outfit, a grey and a black and can interchange blouses or blazers or scarfs. Rid yourself of outdated items such as skirts, cloddy shoes, but dont throw them away. Have a garage sale of your own and then you can spend the money on items you really need and can wear. It takes an awful lot of work and effort - nothing comes free. I wasnt born but I have a love for fashion and Ive learned. I wanted to be able to be and dress is so important. When Carma first attended Utah Tech, she was frightened, alone and had no financial help. She had to sell her car, she even lost her home, but she kept hanging in. Classes at the college helped her both directly and indirectly to find herself, and she began to come alive. Her message to women who need to work and, because of limited income, need help is dress as if you already have a career. You can get a professional look for only about $30, she promises. I needed a suit recently. I found a wool lined blazer at one place for only $19 and in another shop found a matching skirt for another $17. But, she cautions, if you dont get rid of failure clothing, you wont replace them. Just as a department store gets rid of unsalable merchandise, get rid of your failure closet items. Carma cites the Womens Center at Utah Technical College as a great place to go for help. She hopes to help women through seminars, as she has done already at the college, to learn to dress for success. Shes also writing up information on how tos of make-up- , where to buy good quality products at reasonable cost, and even plans to do a fashion seminar. She plans to teach women how to apply make-up- , how to fix hair, how to become a total woman. The devastation of being left alone with no skills, of being a frightened woman manipulated by a mate or society often leaves a woman feeling that shes not worth looking nice. I dont believe that, she I dont care vehemently states. what she looks like, with the proper make-u- p and clothing, she can gain the self confidence and to feel beautiful too. But theres nothing more beautiful than to know I can do it! and Carma knows and shows what shes talking about. 9:30-4:3- 0 mmm SEWING!

Starleen Orullian, in her USA Olympic base ball uniform, and wearing the Gold Medal she won as a member of a fast-bateam which played in Japan. many humorous moments. When there was a disagreement on the playing field, the coaches would yell at the interpreter, the interpreter would yell at the umpire in the appropriate language and then the interpreter would relay the message to the coach. It was so funny, laughs Starleen. Sometimes it would take as long as 15 minutes to settle a simple dispute. It was like a comedy routine from some movie. At the present time Starleen is waiting for final approval to try out for the Pan American team to play in Colorado Springs in June. If she is accepted, Starleen will travel all summer playing for the highest ranked womens team in the world. Womens fast pitch softball does not have a Placing in the Olympic games at this time but it is expected to be an accepted game by 1988. When that does occur, the Olympic team members will be selected largely from the Pan American teams. Starleen speaks casually of her achievements and is quick to give credit for her success to others. Her father, Ephraim Orullian, was her first coach and her family is still her greatest support and inspiration. Don Nendell was her catching coach and Norma Carr was her coach at the University. Starleen also pays great tribute to Mona Stevens whom she classifies as the best womens fastball pitcher in Utah. Together, all reports say, they make a terrific pitchercatcher team. Im thankful God saw fit to give me a strong, physical body and also the necessary skills to develop and succeed, tells this talented miss, but the success I achieve on the ball field cant compare with the lift I get each day from the girls I work with in school.
