A flame.

The mention of the word brings visions of fire first a spark,then a flicker, a glow,a smoldering, and finally a fiery blaze

So itis at LBC

Begun as Lynchburg Baptist College, the school opened its doors 10yearsago Itwas onlya tiny spark.There was no campus. And there were no dormitoriesand no classrooms There weren'tmany students either. It could barely be called acollege. That first September, 154 students enrolled in Lynchburg Baptist College, not knowing what to expect They lived in small houses across from Thomas Road Baptist Church. The church facilitieswere their classrooms and the facultyconsisted of the church staff By the end of the school year they numbered 305.

In September 1972, the second school year began. This time there were 484 students from all over the country. The smallhousesacrossfrom TRBC would no longer accomodate the growing number of students Now they roomed on Treasure Island, a summer camp that TRBC had recently purchased Their dormitories were camping shacks. More than once during the school year, the James River flooded students out of their living quarters. It was also the year that the bus rides,now so familiar to LBC students, were begun. Students rode buses to theirclassesatthechurch every day Itwas estimated that each students spent two hours a day just riding buses.

The fire was beginning to flicker. The 1973-74 school year saw an even larger number of studentscoming toLBC.An old hotel in downtown Lynchburg was purchased to house students But itwasn't big enough (continued onpage3)

More than2,500students and faculty members gather on Candler's Mountain in sub-zero weather to pray for a miracle. More than $2.5 million had to be raised before construction of the new LBC campus couldeven begin.

More than once, students who lived on Treasure Island wereflooded outby the swelling of the James River.The island, purchased by TRBC as a summer camp, was used tohouse students from 1972-1978.

to hold all of them. The college also had torentan abandoned hospital, the Kennedy House, tolodge150malestudents. Hundreds alsolived with TRBC church members who opened their homes to students. Two condemned school buildings,Ruffner Elementary and Timberlake Middle School, were rented and used as classroom buildings.

As the years passed, enrollments continued to spiral upward, adding more kindling to the fire The student body grew substantially in1974 and 1975, and by 1976it was evidentthat a larger, permanent campus site was necessary.

On Jan. 21,1977,more than 2,500 students and faculty members gathered with Dr. Jerry Falwell on Candler's Mountain, a large plot of land that TRBC had purchased some years before.They stood for more than two hours in eight inches of snow and prayed foramiracle Unless thenecessary funds were raised and constructioncould begin as soon as the weather broke, there would be nowhere to hold classes in the fall. The small college of 154 students had grown to an enormous 2,500 students in a little over fiveyears

The millions of dollars needed were miraculously raised and construction began immediately. Some seven months later when the fall semester began, anew sciencehall, generaleducation hall and several dormitories greeted new and returning students to the newly renamed Liberty Mountain

The tiny spark has now grown into a massive blaze.The present LBC student body numbers 3,000 No w known as Liberty Baptist College,the campus consists of a 4,000-acre "Miracle Mountain" upon which 25 buildings have been erected 18 dormitories,4 classroom buildings,a 6,000seatmulti-purpose center, an administration building and a prayer chapel Four more dormitories,a largecafeteria, and a two-story library are on the drawing board for construction in the near future

LBC has experienced tremendous growth and expansion in itsshort history.Itisaflame in every sense of the word. Aflame academically. Aflame athletically Aflame spiritually Aflame socially.

Academically, Liberty Baptist College reached one of its primary long-term goals during the 1980-81 school year.

LBC became an accredited college

In doing so, LBC became the first independent, fundamental, separatist, local-church affiliated college ever to receive accreditation. It was also one of theyoungest schools ever to receive accreditation

"When LBC was first formed," said Dr. A. Pierre Guillermin,president of Liberty Baptist Schools, "we determined thatwe wanted our institutiontobe thebest. W e felt the way to achieve this was by seeking accreditation."

The first major step was reached in 1977 when LBC was granted candidate status by the Southern Association of Collegesand Schools Then,in December 1980, after10long years of pressing toward that goal, the administration learned that itsdream had become areality. It was final LBC had been granted full accreditation from SACS.

A special chapel service was held in which Dr Guillermin explained the benefits of full accreditation. Not only would graduates be granted admission to accredited universities for further studies, and not only would credit earned at LBC transfer to ther colleges, but now the college would beeligible for many more grant and loan programs than were previously unavailable

In a period of 10 years, LBC has grown from a small Bible school to a liberal arts college that offers 34 majors. More than 30 minors and more than 400 courses are now offered.

I n January 1981,the college reached another milestone in its short history— fullacceptance into the National Collegiate Athletic Association

There was speculation, however, from the outside as to whether or not LBC could "cut it" against big name schools

Less than a month later,the chance came toprove thespeculators wrong.

LBC's wresting team was invitedtoparticipateinthe NAIA districttournament in Norfolk, Va.

The LBC wrestlers simply wanted to make a respectable showing.

They did.To everyone's surprise, they place first in the tournament ahead of Hampton Institue and Messiah College. They then headed for the nationals as the NAIA Division 19 reprsentatives There they placed 18th out of 80 teams

But LBC's wrestlers weren't the only athletes active in NCA A and NAIA play.

Itwas the firstyear thefootball team competed with Division I and Division II teams. They played against such notablesasDivision I-ranked James Madison University and Division II ranked CW Post The highlight of the season was the 23-20 homecoming win over Division I-ranked Morehead State.

Other teams thatparticipated in NCA A and NAIA actionincluded the baseball team, the men's track team and the men's basketball team.

Opportunities enrichment were dents attended three chapel ser vices a week, attended church services regularly and were active in various Christian service assignments. A variety of speakers visited the LB C campus including Dr . Francis Schaeffer, Chuc k Milhuff and the late Dr. John R. Rice.

Several special meetings were also held in the spring for the students' benefit including a week-long Swor d of the Lord Conference.

Student revivals were held at the beginning of each semester

Personal counseling at these revivals helped man y students mak e spiritual decisions that affected their school year as well as their entire life

Other activities which centered around spiritual things included a discipleship program begun in the dorms . Directed by the RA s in each dorm , the program promoted better Christian living through a disciplined life. Program principles were passed o n to fellow students with suggestion o n ho w to adapt the m to daily living.

Man y students also becam e actively involved in soul-winning and attended a Saturday morning soul-winning class for a numbe r of weeks.

"This class is especially helpful in preparing students for summe r inner-city outreach," said Jim O'Neill, program director.

Students reached personal milestones in theirsocial lives as well. New friendships were made and old ones were solidified Some got what they came toLBC for—a husband or wife and others were left still looking.

Exercise was a big thing during the year and jogging especiallyreceived alotofattention. Many students participated in the annual Virginia Ten Miler as well as just jogging for fun. Exercise classes sprang up in the girls'dorms and there was an increased interest in working out with weights for the guys

Growth was the main characteristic students strived to learn amidst the expansive growth that surrounded them, realizingthatcollegelife is only experienced once.

Many became active in various organizations on campus to fulfill a variety of personal goals Others involved themselves in intramurals,SGA activities, and even studies.

Students were affected not only by their individual selves, but by others all around them. And the growth of the college itself influenced each one. Accreditation and acceptance into theNCA A were the two biggest stories but things like thebirth of an intercampus radio station made students believe that they too had a part of the trememdous growth of LBC

The college as a whole continued to experience growth, and so did individual students.

The little spark from which LBC began has swelled into a raging blaze that continues to grow LBC is definitely alive and aflame.

LBC takes a look back at a decade ofprogress

-John Schlesinger With Carole Smith

Allwho know JerryFalwellknow that young peopleareespeciallyimportantto him. Countless times he has remarked, "Iloveyoung people. They are the hope of our nation and our world."

It is no wonder then thatJerryFalwell has invested his life in training young people to be champions for God

"Years ago,"he says, "Idecided that if I wanted to make my life countforeternity, I would do astheLord did andas the ApostlePauldid reproduce myself inothersand teach them the same reproductiveprinciples.

LBC students are deeplygrateful to God thatHe hasgiven Jerry Falwell such avision.

"As I think aboutLiberty BaptistCollege and its miraculous campus," reminisces Dr.Falwell, "my heart isdeeply grateful to God. It was not long ago that we conducted classes inthecorridorsofThomas Road BaptistChurch and in old, vacant buildings around the city Students lived everywhere on Treasure Island, in the Hotel, inan abandoned hospital, and in hundreds of homes graciously opened to us by Thomas Road Baptist Church members. Rundown buses transported students around town

Today we walk on amulti-million dollarcampus that we claimed for God when just a barren mountainside."

During thelastseveralyears, Dr.Falwell'sinfluence and ministryhasexpanded nationallyand internationally. With his complex schedule and the illimitable demands on his time, Dr. Falwell stillremains a personal friend to thestudentsofLiberty BaptistSchools. Students can always count on Dr Falwelltobe present formany oftheiractivities He attendseverygame hepossiblecanand is alwaysthe loudest fanpresent. Dr. Falwellenvisionstheday when auniversity with schoolsoflaw, medicine, thearts, and religionwillbe housed on Liberty Mountain's wooded slopes

"Although the schools multiply in number greatly each year," Dr.Falwell says, "Iknow we will always be unitedin spirit, working toward one common goal:that of reaching outtoaworld offourand ahalfbillionpeoplewho desperately need JesusChrist."

For the past ten years, residents ofLynchburg have become accustomed to the sight ofrickety school buses rambling throughout the city. Thebuses were used tocarry LBC students toand from thedifferent housing and classroom facilities occupied by LBC since its beginning.

•TaWLmX' aaaaaaaaaaaai the ministry of Jerry Falwell, he had no idea that hewould eventually bethe co-founder ofacollege begun by that same church

While writing the book, Towns was the president of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School inIllinois. He has been considering leaving Trinity,yetwasn't sure ofwhere God wanted him to go

"Iwas doing some meetings attheCanton Baptist Temple and I shared my desire for change to the pastor, Harold Henninger," he said "He told me to get in touch with Jerry."

Strange as it may seem, at the same time Towns was talking with Pastor Henninger, Dr. Falwell was talking to Mrs Towns, letting herknow that he wanted totalk with her husband about starting acollege Sowhen Towns finally got through to Dr. Falwell, Dr. Falwell thought that Towns was just answering his call

"We had never discussed it previously,"hesaid. "When I finally gotthrough tomy wife all she told me was to call Jerry Itold herIalready had and then sheasked me ifwe were going toLynchburg andI told her thatwewere Apparently shehad been in prayer fortheprevious twohours."

When his contract with Trinity was completed, Towns and Falwell setthegears in motion tostart a college They wrote that year's catalogue and by thetime school opened on Sept 8,1971,there were 154students

"It was, Ithink, thegreatest year we had," Towns said "In fact I call them the glory years There were verylittle discipline problems and we were like one big happy family."

Looking back,Towns realizes that thegrowth ofthe college up tonow was even more than he or Dr Falwell had anticipated

"The school hasbecome sophisticated and the true image ofa university,"hesaid."When itstarted out it wasaBible college,yetthat isnotwhere we had intended ittobe W e had always planned for it tobealiberalartscollegewiththe emphasis on academic excellance that we have today. In 10 years we have seen a miracle—something far beyond my expectations."

Dr. Guillermin might be one of the very few who can really appreciate the giant strides made by the college in only its firstdecade

Ten years ago,LBC wasadream inthe mind ofDr.Jerry Falwell. Thenewcollegehadonly ahandful ofstudents and just a few faculty members

Guillermin, president of a South Carolina college, resigned his position in 1967and came to Lynchburg after Falwell presented tohim hiseducational concept ofa kindergarten-to-university system centered around the local church.

Even though thecollege hasgrown ata rapid 20 percent yearly growth rate, Guillermin believes thebasic founding principles have stayed thesame and area main reasonfor the school's success.

"We must continue tofollow ourbasic principles tobe a successful school," Guillermin said

Guillermin also said that while most majorcolleges have lettheir discipline structure decline,LBC hasmaintained a strong discipline system.

"Ibelieveinastrong, realisticdiscipline system",hesaid "Our rules and regulations arethesame, but ourapplications and theway we handle problems have changed,"

Ten yearsago many people thought LBCwas justa dream in Jerry Falwell's mind—a mere vision

Today LBCis more thanjustadream people called impossible—it's the firstaccredited, fundamental, separatist, local church related college in America.

No one will besurprised ifinthe next fiveyears Dr. A.P. Guillermin is called the president ofLiberty Baptist University

Along with Dr. Falwell and theI Love America singers, LBC students dedicate theLiberty Mountain campus tothe Lord. The 4,000 acrecampus became LBC's home in 1976.

Ten years growing (Cont.)

Mrs Tobyann Davis and her husband were perfectly happy with their position inSouthern California 10 years ago, but Dr.JerryFalwell'spersonalitywon them over to the newly founded Lynchburg BaptistCollege

"Dr. Falwellcame acrossasacommon, everydayman when we met with him inOrange, California, after a meeting," Mrs. Davis said. "He just asked, 'Why don't you all come back and help us?'We had a perfect peace about the move."

Davis said she and her husband were comfortable with startingfrom thebottom; theyweren'tlooking foranykind of magnificentfacilities.

"You would have thought, though, thattherewould have beenalot ofbitternessand griping," shesaidinreference to thestudents' attitudes to thelimitedconditions "They must have been a mature group ofpeople."

Mrs Davis remembers the time the entire student body went to theHoly Land oneyearand to London, England, the next.She felt there was a special family atmosphere that made these kind of activities possible

"Those kids had to build their own dorms on Treasure Island,"shesaid. "They ako had tostayinpeople's homes. It was hardest on the parents, though. They sometimes couldn't believe they were leaving their children in sucha chaoticsituation."

Mrs.Davis remembers thebusesthatseemed tobegoing everywhere in thecity.

"Those old buses were terrible," she said "There were even holesinthefloor, yetI heard many a student say that someof the best timeswereon thosebuses Everybody had a sense of building together."

Today, Mrs Davis sees the students taking more ofa leadership position in the school and the ministry.

"It's along thelinewith what Dr.Falwell says,'There's a cloudon the horizonaboutthesize of aman'shand...,'" she said. "Where we areis justadrop inthebucket in comparison to the task. There isa challengehere."

Construction began on LibertyMountain inthe spring of1976. The mountain,on which more than25 buildings are constructed, is now themain LBC campus.

Dr. Falwell has always tried tomaintain a warm relationship with LBC students. Although his schedule has intensified, he still remains a special friend to all.

Originally purchased by Thomas Road Baptist Church as a summer camp, Treasure Island became home tomany students during theschool year. The island was usedfpr student housing from 1972-1979.

Gary Aldridge feelsthatLBC not only teaches students how to make a living, but teaches them how to live. Aldridge, LBC'sresidentialdirectorand a1979 LBC graduate, is doing justthat by investing his own lifein the RAs atLBC.

"Itrytoseemyself notonly asa manager, but as a motivator," Aldridge said

As a student coming to LBC in 1974,Aldridge came to realizethatLBC isthe type of school that can fitin tothe spiritual temperment of each individual, and the schoolis likea person or a personality

Looking back,he said that his greatest teaching did not come from one man,but a combination of a few.

"It would behard forme to limit it to one person," hesaid inreference tothe man atLBC who had the greatest influence on him "Dave Randlettgaveme achancewhen no one seemed to want to;Dr Summer Wemp gave me a vision; Gordon Luffgaveme avisionforpeople; and Dr. Woodrow Kroll showed me that it couln't be done on excitement alone."

Aldridge feelsthat the school presently has developed a greater appreciation ofacademics

"The student body can no longer be satisfied with mere excitement,but there must be a depth of knowledge and deeper content towhat people say and teach," he said.

"Ifeelwe are balanced because the school hasn't lost its zeal Preachers can stillcome and motivate everyone and, then again,Dr. Francis Schaffer can come and speak and everyone will be equally as blessed."

Looking ahead,Aldridge thinks that the college willnot go either to the extreme right or the extremeleft

"I think with the ties to the church we have a strong advantage for heading in the right direction,"he said."We only have tolook atSpurgeon's church to see how aplace thatwas once greatforGod has become adead monument. We can learn from thepast

Becoming dead is a fear that every organization must face Aslongas we keepour schoolunder the auspicesof the localchurch we stand a better chance Ifwe ever loose our vision it, too, will become a monument."

Beginning under the direction ofCordon Luff, the LBC Chorale hasstood out as afavorite to all who watched the Old-Time GospelHour. The teamgrew to bea majorpart of Dr. Falwell's outreach.

He isamong those whom Dr.Jerry Falwell calls leaders,champions and dreamers—and that'sjust what he is

Daniel Henderson, a 1980graduate of Liberty Baptist College, believes that with a dream and a vision great things can be accomplished in life

Henderson came toLBC in1976 when lifeon the mountain was still a dream, and the students had pioneering spirits

"I've always been best at taking nothing and building something," he said. "That's why Ilike Liberty."

And that's just what he did.

He traveled fora year inYouth Aflame,was involved in the Chorale, and became student body president fortwo years Itwas through thebuilding ofSGA that he learned the role ofleadership and stretched hiswings,entgovernment was my proving ground," he said "It taught me whether Ihad theability to be a leader"

While in school,Henderson had a dream and visionto startaministry known asCA N (Change aNation)that was geared to planting and establishing local churches inthe United States. CA N worked through the concept of pastoral teamwork.Through hisdream of multi-pastor outreach, for teams have already been established

"I remember Dr Falwell preaching on having a dream and a vision for your life, "he said "I've learned that through adisciplined lifeyour dreams canbecome reality."

Henderson,worked with the pastoralmajors program in 1980-81andwillbeanassistantto Dean Dobson duringthe 1981-82year.

He isexcited about the changes he has seen in Liberty over thepast six years

"Liberty taught me how todream—to invest my life in people," hesaid.

If one word could sum upDaniel Henderson's life it could be "dreamer."

"I rather dieyoung having dreamed," he said,"than to die oldand not have dreamed at all."

For all, theweekend definitelywas

twas the most exciting weekend of theyear

Their was an air offestivityaround the city as parents, prospective students and alumni swarmed into Lynchburg for a time of warm reunions.

Itwas Homecoming Weekend

Until now, LBC had never lost a Homecoming game. But the oppostion forthe1980game was Morehead StateUniversity, aNCAA Division II ranked team who had barely lost to Western Kentucky University the week before

"We don'texpectto win today," Dr JerryFalwell told a group of prospectivestudents Saturday morning,"but we do hope to appear competitive."

Not only did the Flames appear competitive, asDr.Falwellhad hoped, but they shocked everyone by winning the game 23-20 with 5:14 left in thegame

It came out of nowhere.The crowd had just settled back to another loss againstaDivision I schoolwhen Greg Moseley, a senior running back from Jacksonville, Fla., broke off tackle on second and five catching Morehead State in asafetyblitz, and racedfor the game-winning 65-yard touchdown.

Miss DeVilbiss was thefirstinternational student ever towin the title

An elementary education major, Miss DeVilbiss said,"Thefact thatI won thepageant shows a real lackof prejudice on the part of the school The opportunities offered are open to allpeople."

The pageant washosted by Johnny Hall, a sacred recording artist who was returning to LBC for his third time and Miss Kay DeKalb, a comedienne and singer from Birmingham, Ala., whowas returning forherfourth time.

Hall had recently finished an appearance in themusical "Saddled for Glory," about the life of circuit preacher Peter Cartwright He performed various acts from themusical during thepageant

Students meet n£eds in the Big Apple

MY

Sweltering ™;J , -

^% weltering streams of mid-summer airblasted through thepartially opened window as thetrain screamed through the ominous black tunnel The glare of the flourescent lights made thewalls covered with graffittiand advertisements seem strangely foreboding.

Esperanza satalone,enveloped in the clamor of thetrain,birraged by her thoughts.

Things had not been rightfor some time now Her family and friends didn't seem toofferthe happiness they once did and all her efforts seemed togo nowhere That morning shehad even contemplated suicide

The train suddenly gave a heavy jolt,a signal tothose familiar with the New York subway system that another stop was coming up Esperanza paid no attention; she was just riding today; there was no place in particular toget off

The train made a regular stop and passengers quickly moved in and out between theopen doors. Just as everyone had been seated andthe confusion subsided a young man who had entered thecar between stops quickly jumped tothe middle of the car

"Ladies and gentleman, he said, "I have an announcement to make."

That was about all that Esperanza could grasp fully,forshe only understood Spanish Yet somehow she knew he was talking about God.

It seemed that before hewas finished, thenoise of thealready moving train covered hisspeech, and others with him began to quickly hand out small yellow leaflets Reactions were varied as some took theinformation with no response while others were an n ° and refused or argued One Orthodox Jew took onevery calmly and just ascalmly ripped itintwo for everyone to see

Esperanza reached out and took hers and watched theyoung men move on to thenext car

Alone once again, wrapped in the noise of thetrain,Esperanza looked at thetract "Let's Get the Worm Out of theBig Apple," was printed on thecover She could read itto a degree,but itdidn't totally make sense toher On theback the words Manhattan Bible Church were printed

A sense ofenergy passed through her Itseemed so strange toreceive this now How often she had thought of visiting this very church that was only one block from her home

She felt it was a sign

"Surely," she thought, "they will have an answer for me."

Esperanza went directly tothis church. On entering the renovated factory building, shewas confronted by a young black-haired girl reading a Bible The girl looked up from her

reading and gave an assuring smile.

"May Ihelp you with something?" she said. "My name is Maria."

"No speak a Ingles," she answered "En Espanol."

"Oh, excellent," Maria said in her native Spanish.

"I speak fluent Spanish What is itthat Ican do for you?"

Esperanza felt great easein sharing herproblems with the girl. Maria listened freely and shared with Esperanza thetruth of the gospel ofJesus Christ.The troubled woman realized that this was what she needed and immediately trusted Christ as herSavior

Esperanza was one of thousands that were touched by the ministry of 55 LBC students who sacrificed their summer vacation and instead spent thesummer in thevast mission field of New York City

Working with the Manhattan Bible Church and Pastor Tom Mahairas, the team of LBC students led by Jim O'Neill was ableto experience the results of a full-time ministry in an area that isstarving for the gospel

Tom Mahairas came to LBC the fall semester of 1980and presented the need and theplan of action in a chapel service More than 300 students responded that day andout of that 300,55 men and women were chosen

At theend of thesummer none could say that their lives hadn't been changed.

The whole team was strategically split into five groups of sixto ten men These groups were then each assigned toa different area of North Manhattan and the Bronx. Each area seemed toafford each team with a different ethnic flavor oflifestyle.

The area that team leader Mark Totten was assigned towas an area of predominantly affluent Orthodox Jews

"In thebegining we were frustrated," Totten said. "The TV survey Jim had developed didn't work because none of them watched television,and theminuite we would mention anything about Christ, they would shut thedoor in our face."

(continued from page 25)

Totten and his team members took this frustration and made a challenge out of it

"Ihadnever witnessed toanOrthodox Jew in my life,"Totten said, "In fact Idon't think Ihad ever met one untilI came toNew York.W e tried to make friends with the Jews and even attended services in some ofthe synagogues"

Totten also used this situation to challenge his teammates to spend more time in prayer and have deeper devotions in theOld Testament.

Many of theteam members found themselves in similar situations where they were forced to meet the challange head-on so that they could make an impact for Christ

The concept ofone-on-onediscipleship was the greatest lesson learned by all theteam members

"The Lord has really given me a vision for discipleship," said team leader Bruce Knight. "I look at what the Bible says and it'swhat Jesus did Unfortunately many have taken the Great Commision and done the first part, evangelizing,buthave not solidly put into practice what Jesus said, 'teaching them to observe all things whatsoever Ihave commanded you."

The teams put this into practice. One-on-one discipleship was made a priority and team members grew to understand the fruits of seeing their converts developing strong foundations in theLord.

Along with the vision ofdiscipleship the team also realized the importance of strong personal growth.Every day theteam members spent two hours in prayer and Bible study and Wednesdays were setaside forfasting and prayer

The thing that made the summer great," Knight said,"wasthat weput our priorities inthe rightperspective I believe we did that this summer—I believe God blesses faithfulness and when we have him in theright place in our daily livesourministry willbe blessed."

With over more than 900 people making professions of faith and 150 people discipled on a one-to- one basis, a person can easily assume that the team's efforts were blessed,not only with seeing God work or by gaining a burden forthecity ofNew York, butby gaining experience that

will carry them therestoftheirlives.

"It did two things for us," Jim O'Neill said, "Itprovided anoutletfor practical training and it brought a spark into thelivesofallwhocame in contact with theteam."

The big citieswere the strategictargetfor the great missionary,the apostle Paul, and the LBC students who participated intheNewYork program this summer now understand why.

According toone team member,every circumstance brought thegroup to a deeper understanding of thefact that it isGod who brings theincrease, yet Christians areresponsible to sow

-John Schlesinger •

Much ofthe team's efforts was concentrated in door-to-door evangelism, yet all of the team members practiced sowing the seed among the peopleon the street. Here, Harry Walls and Billy Nelson share thegosple with aman onthe street.

Cult activity was evident everywherethe team went. LesKimballand Steve Dignan share the gospel with a "moonie" selling flowers, on Times Square.

The leadership of Jim O'Neill both before the tip and duringthetime theteam was in New York, was a vital foundation tothe successfulness of theteam's activities.

International students feel at hom e at LBC

After 28hours oftravel, twoyears ofplanning began to materialize asJoash Mutua of Kenya, Africa, stepped off a Greyhound bus in Lynchburg one cold January in1979.

"Itwas 3 a.m and I was met by a black man who spoke in an accentI couldn'tunderstand,"Joash said. "He asked me if Iwanted a cab Ididn't understand what he meant so Iasked where Icould find ataxi."

Having worked out the misunderstanding, the international student was on the last leg of his journey to LBC

"I felt so overwhelmed when Ifirst saw the sign forLiberty Baptist College on Route 29," he said "It would be hard to explain my feelings; I don't think I sleptat allthat night."

Although almos t 9,000 milesfrom family or familiar surroundings, Joash feels that acceptance and hospitality have made him at home atLC.

"IfeltIcould be loved by anyone," Joash said "It seemed that lost of people were interestedingettingto know me Ifeltright athome."

Back in Kenya when Joashrealized his calling to the ministry,he began lookng for a college that would not onlygive him Bible, butalso academic training He had been corresponding with a friend, Patrick Obingo, who was already a student at LBC. Through Patrick'sencouragementJoash decided toapply

"It was rough all the way," Joash said "There was so much money needed for the transportation and tuitionthat theprovisionofthesefunds was proof that the Lord wanted me here."

Arriving in Lynchburg in thewin-

ter presented Joash with hisgreatest frustration—the cold. The average temperature in Kenya is acomforable 78 degrees and itnever snows there, according toJoash

"Ithought I was going todie from the cold," he said."I had come very unprepared for the weather; all I brought with me was an overcoat and no warm clothes."

Meeting theproblem head-onalong withother cultural differenceslike the differencesinfood and thecommunicationproblem, he graduallyadjusted tolifein Lynchburg

Joash saidthe missions faculty has been exceptionally helpful to his adjustment to LBC Th e Bruckners, he said, helped him to understand many of the cultural differences that faced him daily "Whe n I would talk to them it waslike talking to my own people,"he said. "They met my needs in a very special way."

The hospitality of his host family, assigned to Joash by theInternational StudentsOrganization, alongwithhis roommate's family, proved to be a greatencouragement tohim when he first arrived.

"Iwas determined tostay here and study for at least four years,"Joash said,"yet itseemed like itwould be lesstime while Iwas with my family inKenya."

Joash has now been away from his family for two years and is praying for the finances to get home for Christmas break in1981

Joash willbe graduating in 1982as apastor's major and plansto continue hiseducation at Liberty BaptistSeminary.

A s young boys growing up in the Soviet Union, Peter and Nickolai Pankratz and Alex Ertel refused to becalled "children of communism."

As a result they were mistreated by teachers and ridiculed by classmates

Children beginning school inthe Soviet Union in the mid '60swere classified as "children of commucnism," and were identified by wearing a red star with apicture of Lenin in the middle of it By the time the child reached third grade a red scarf symbolized a "youth of communism," and upon graduation the student became a member ofthe Communist Party.

Peter, Nickolai and Alex refused towear the pin and scarf because they believed in God

Unfair treatment became a way of life Grades were lowered and Christians were discussed as aclass problem

"Ionce had to stand in the corner every day for one month becauseI wouldn't wear the star,"Nickolai said,

In 1974,Peter, 15,and Nickolai, 17,were granted permission toleave the Soviet Union and move to Germany because they were born of German parents and had relativesin Germany Alex joined them in Germany three months later.

Upon reaching Germany,Peter and Alex continued their high school education while Nickolai went on to an additional threeyears of school which assured him ofa better job in the future.As a Christian in Russia, additional education whould have been impossible

"Sometimes they would letyou study a whole semester but then throw you out at the end ofthe semester so you wouldn't get any

credit,"Nickolaisaid

Alex said the opportunity toleave Russia made him "jump forjoy."

"Leaving Russia was thegreatest joy we've ever experienced,"Peter said

Because of religious freedom in Germany the three young men began singing in public church services instead of the underground church in the Soviet Union.

"We had been singing since we were small boys," Nickolai said "When we were four,our father stood us on a chair and told usto sing."

After one year in Germany,Peter met a girlnamed Lilly ata church service.In three years they were married.He also met Jack Wyrtzen, of Word of Life International,who convinced him to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake,N.Y Peter was 19 when he and his wife came to America and began tarveling regularly with Jack Wyrtzen.

One year later Nickolai and Alex also came to America to attend the Bible institute.

They learned by trialand error

"After we were here two weeks, Jack told us we were going togive our testimonies in a meeting," Nickolai said."Of course we had to do it inEnglish."

"We learned by doing a lot of talking," Petersaid.

Peter, Alex and Nickolai graduated from Word of Lifein 1980 and are presently attending LBC. Besides regular studies, the trioiskept busy traveling toBible conferences and churches toprovide specialmusic.

The singers plan to begin an evangelistic ministry in the future which would include radio broadcasts,meeting and conferences.

ebster's dictionary callsit a disadvantage,but John Reeves, LBC freshman, says it'sall in the mind, Both Webster and Reeves are talking about the word handicap.

Reeves was born with crippling cerebral palsy,yet he doesn't consider himself handicapped.

"I think the greater handicap isin the minds of others," Reeves said. "My only handicap is when others limit me."

By the time Reeves was 2 years old,the disease had progressed to where he could only walk with the aid of braces or a walker. For ten years,Reeves was confined to these aides

By the age of 12 Reeves had undergone a series of surgeries that finally made him able to walk on his own With the help of physical

therapy he was able to regain strength in his legs.

"In the summer of '78 I took a job working at a camp for the handicapped," Reeves said "This helped me to relate more to people with the same conditions as myself, and made me able to see how my -. —:« m -w 1 \mir-^fi^nc rmiln help them."

The next year Reeves took a job as a grocery carry-out person for a local grocery store chain.

or they would be discriminating, so I got the job," Reeves said "It was hard at first, but after a while 1got used to itand was working eighthour shifts like everybody else."

There were many times when Reeves found his physical condition would get in the way of his work

"Many times my foot would give out and Iwould fall,spilling all the groceries," Reeves said,"A few times Iwas almost hit by cars."

That year Reeves was awarded the prize as the number one grocery carry-out for all six of the store's chains.

Reeves pushes for achievement in spite of his limitations,yet he finds times when it is hard to accept

"There is not a day that goes by when Idon't find something thatI would love to do and can't because of my condition," Reeves said "In high school Iwas excluded because others worried that Iwould hurt myself Living like this,you can build psychological walls around yourself and you begin to think, 'I am weird.'"

For this reason, Reeves not only "I have to get up every morning

Although physically handicapped since birth, John Reeves doesn't consider himself handicapped, "it's all in the mind," he says.

practices physical therapy but also exercises his motivation. and look at myself in the mirror and say I'm as good as anyone else," Reeves said

Reeves said he wants people to look at and accept his condition and even make jokes about it.He wants them to look beyond his handicap, below the surface of John Reeves, and get to know him as a friend

"I have many personal aquaintances and many people know my name, but they don't know me," Reeves said,"I want them to accept me as a good friend."

Reeves takes negative frustrations like these and mends them into positive output in poetry.

We'v e got to stop eating like this! Th e lighter side of diets at LB C

"/ can't take this much longer; its been three nights now."

"Will you go to sleep? Don't think about it!"

"But its been three long nights, J need a fix just one peanut M&M anything."

"Will you forget about it? It's all a matter of will power."

"Will power? That's easy for you to say you've always been thin."

Fat against thin.

Dieting

It's a national obsession among Americans.Millions ofdollarsare spent yearly on fad diets, diet books,special foods and exercisedevices by women and men inan efforttoloseweight

For the fat man, thinness is eternal bliss.

Fatness not only hitstheman over 40with themidriff bulge, or the housewife who spends countless hours watching "One Life to Live" eating bon-bons Fatness hits the high school student and the college-aged.

At LBC, students find dieting a necessary part of theirlife when cafeteria food tends to be starchy and late-night snaking an addiction.

"It's funny because in a country where everyone is so obsessed with dieting,people are still overweight,"said Vicki Kelly,an LBC freshman.

"I think girls are more self-conscious about their weight than guys are,because in our society it's less acceptable for girls to be overweight than for boys to be," she said

Whether a person decides to go on a strictdiet or cuts back on his or her food intake,everyone is presented with certain problems to handle

"I hate togive up pop and icecream," said one RA who was trying to lose weight. "It seems like people tempt you when you try todiet."

"Iguess giving up sweets ismy problem," said Ruth Newton,an LBC senior

"I've patterned myself into eating so much junk that it's

become a habit," she said

"Sweets are probably the biggest temptation for peopledieting," said Brian Wood, a physical education major from Rhodesia.

"Ifind it hard toadd exercise time into my schedule and I'm so used togoing ata high pace thatit makes dieting harder for me," said Mike Salsbury.

"After Iquit track I started having some trouble with my weight," said political science major Joni Berry "My biggest temptations are bread, and eating at night when I'm bored."

"When it comes to sweets—forget it! I'm gone I justcan't hack it," laughed Lisa Solheim,aLBC freshman. "My problem is thatI'm picky and won't eatthe food in the cafeteria Then I eat junk in my room at night."

While many students have problems with eating and give into temptation, some find resisting easier

"I have problems gaining weight," said Lori Moore, a 5'7" senior who weighs 115 pounds.

"I was brought up that Iwouldn't die if Ididn't eat I can skip meals anytime—I just don't think about it."

"I could be a lot heavier," said Carrie Bowron,a petite LBC senior, "but my figureis very important tome so I tryharder."

Karen Hobert, a town student who has lost 40 pounds, believes losing weight is a matter of thewill

"You have to want to lose weight bad enough before you will,"she said "Itdoesn't matter how many diets you've been on before."

Three nights was more than any body could take.

Quickly, she got out of bed and slipped out the door.

Once inside the lounge she dropped a quarter into the Lance machine and pulled out a pack of chocolate cookies.

Withing minutes she was fast asleep dreaming of M & M's and Milky Way bars.

Students experience Suitcase Syndrom e

It was 4:10 p.m. and Terry had only 20 minutes to get to the Student Affairs office before it closed. Breathlesslv rushing though the door, he nearly collapsed on the secretary s desk.

"I need permission to go home this weekend, " Terry said.

"Is it an emergency?" the secretary asked as she searched her desk for the familar pad of permission slips.

"No, no emergency at all," Terry assured her. "I'm just going home to visit my family."

"Terry, this is the fourth weekend in a row," she said. "How can you afford the time to go home so often?"

Terry's only problem, ifthat's what itis, iswhat some LBC students know as "suitcase syndrome," a condition that hits more than 200 students every month Many of these students are likeTerry — they livewithin arelatively short drive from campus and find the time at home more productive than on campus Some go home forwork, some torelaxand some students gohome tobepartoftheir home churches.Any wayone looksatthesituation, these students are on themove — some every weekend.

"Every two weeks Igo home to Roanoke and transport tirestoOhio," Terry said "Iend up driving about 15to 16 hours on those weekends The other weekends I just go home tovisit my family.

Another student misses herfamily somuch that shewill travelmore than four hours toVirginia Beach whenever she can

I usually donthave any important reason togo home except toeathome cooking andtosleep in my own bed," the elementary education major said. "I just like being ableto be alone, too."

She confessed that her time at home really isn't very productive academically.

"Most ofthetime Itake my books home but I don t end up doing anystudying,"she said "My parents can'tseem to understand whv Icome home so much.'

Whatever thereason, numbers ofanxious students make their way tothedean's office each weekend for permission to go home leaving thedorms, for the most part, empty When asked about the situation of students leaving an RA showed littleconcern

^he LBC Concert Series had a •^ twist in itsapproach during the 1980-81 school year. Along with the regular sacred music series,two additional non-musical programs wereintroduced.

The season kicked off with the Searles Sisters, a gospel group from Nashville, Tenn

The group has recorded one album although they only sing part-time The triplets all hold full time jobsas legal secretaries

"They had a very smooth harmony," said one person from theaudience, "and they presented a clear Christian testimony."

In September, the series took on a different type of program with Zig Ziglar, a nationally known bornagain speaker on motivation and positive thinking.

He has appeared on stage with many personalities such as Art Linkletter and Norman Vincent Peale.

Itwas said that he was an exciting speaker and that for the three hours he spoke on how to be successful, he held the audience spellbound

"He gave practical ideas to promote self-confidence the right way," one student from the audience said. "It was awesome."

The October facetofthe seasonpresented Joe Blanton, a sacred musicartist Blanton has sung with a number of opera companies including the New York Opera Company atLincoln Center

His style followed his operatic background, as he strived for excellence in light of "good music" and Christian testimony together Blanton's repetoire consisted of classicAmerican music which included selections by Stephen Foster,avariety of Negro spirituals and selections from great American musicals.

"Ihadplanned togoon Broadway,but God began todeal with me about being a gospel singer," he said.

Two yearsago hehadthelead inthe musical, "Saddled for Glory," directed by the Rev Ken Parker of Taylor, Mich Hall was deeply affected by thepresentation of thelifeof circuit preacher, Peter Cartwright

"The traveling lifeis onewith no rootsortime todevelop them," Hall said. "I could really relate toPeter Cartwright."

She adds another dimension to her performance with impersonations of famous characters like Shirley Temple, Alfalfa of the"Little Rascals," and Edith Ann

"I love tomake people laugh," Miss DeKalb said. Miss DeKalb considers her travelthroughout thecountry an educational experience

"The songs I sing are the same,buttheillustrations I use are as varied asthe parts ofthe country that Ising in," she said "When something goes wrong with my performance, I cannot hide I have tobe genuine andI expect the same from others."

"They conducted aconcert in sucha way that provoked a relaxed atmosphere," one student said

After Christmas break, Robbie Hinpr began the second segment of the series with a concert on Jan. 23.

Hiner,whohas anumber of recordings, hadaback-up of afull orchestra and vocal group

In the course of the evening he brought several grandmothers from the audience up to sing, and he also had his parents sing.°Hiner's little brother gotinto theact also when he sang asolo

When Robbie got ready to sing "Get Up and Get Ready" he told the audience thatpeople hadtold himthat he couldn't sing the song with the right style When he started to sing thesong though,toeveryone's amusement, Randal Miller and Jeff Brown took themike from Robbie and sang the song "the wayit should besung."

The last production of the series was theappearance ofthe internationally known illusionist Andre Kole. Kole isconsidered by most criticsto be one of the world's leading illusionists.

In histwo-hour performance, held at E.C Glass High School, students experienced a unique and fascinating presentation of magical effects and unusual illusions.

Some of the illusions that were noted were: his cutting a woman in half, dematerializing, and levitation.

what wascalled by some inthe audience, a very effective and clear description of salvation It was noted that 59 people from the community were saved as a result of theperformance

"It was very professionally done," Phil Atkins said. "All his illusions were great and he made itclear to everyone that itwasn't magic, but illusion."

E ver y movement and sound accounted for, acclaimed opera and sacred singer Joe Blanton demonstrated ideals of discipline and perfection to LBC students inthe second concert of theyear

Blanton spoke tomusic majors theafternoon before the concert and told them that thepersonal artofobedienceis the key todevelopement.

The paradox oflife is that totalfreedom isnot freedomat all," Blanton said

Along the same lines as this idea, he explained that in order tocommunicate one must experience what heis trying to convey

Itmust be real toyou," hesaid,"before it canbe real to anyone else.You have tofeel itin your heart."

He also told students that they should always strivefor mastery,and as sacred artists they have a responsibility to be thegreatest artists in theworld

Blanton scareer hasbeen highlighted with a membership in the Israeli National Opera Company, the Bonn Opera C ompany inGermany and theNew York Opera Company :t Lincoln Center.

"Opera wasacall from God forme," Blanton said. "There have been many opportunities to witness."

Blanton explained that while in New York at Lincoln Center, the Lord opened up a new door to him,one of performing sacred concerts in colleges and churches

"I want topresent artistry and dignity with warmth," he said

In his concert, Blanton concentrated on a repetoire of classicAmerican music Inhis firstset, Blanton didaseries ofStephen Foster'smusic,then went on totraditional Negro spirituals like "Go Down Moses" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."

After a brief intermission, Blanton sang songs from the great American musicals A special tribute was made to the college with The Hills are Alive," and "Climb Every Mountain" from theplay "TheSound of Music" byRodgers and Hammerstein These were followed by "TheImpossible Dream," "You'll Never ^Valk Alone," and anencore of "Ol Man River."

Blanton combined an operatic style along with a dynamic Christian testimonyand showed how a Christian musician can have mastery in his music.

The Lloyds leave alegacyofChristiandrama

in 1972 Dr and Mrs Mark Lloyd retired from teaching college in Kentucky Then last year—after nine years of teaching at LBC-they retired again.

The years that stand between their firstand second retirement representalmost a decade of life-investing work in thedevelopment ofChristian drama and theDivision ofCommunications atLBC

When the Lloyds retired from Kentucky, they toured the United States in their motor home. Lynchburg, where their son,Mark Lewis Lloyd,was working for the Old-Time Gospel Hour television program, happened to be one of theirstops

When they saw the need for facultyat LBC, then in itsinfant stages,Dr Lloyd gave up his retirement to join the LBC administration He worked as the college'sbusiness manager,but was soon to find out that the classroom was hisfirst love, and in1974he accepted theposition of chairman of the Division of Communications.

At that time the division had fewer than 10 faculty members and only two subject areas,English and Speech Now the division has almost 30 faculty mem-

bers and offers eight majors and sixminors in such disciplines as art,drama, French, journalism,Spanish and speech

Dr Lloyd insists that he has neverregreted giving up his retirement toinvest his life in helping build a college

"I'veenjoyed teaching everywhere I've been," he said, "but I never worked harder or enjoyed it more than in my years at LBC."

Along with retirement, the Lloyds are celebrating their 55th year of marriage and their 55th year of college teaching. Along with teaching,Dr. Lloyd's experience ranges from the pastorate to work as ajunior high principal and thepresidency of a Bible college in California.

Even now the Lloyd's retirements are only from their full-time positions on the LBC faculty They will still be on campus next year, directing the drama ministry of the Kings Players.

When the Lloyds first came to LBC, thecollegewas only begining to develop the program that today is beginning to blossom into a tight, competitive program. Those who have followed the development of the college will remember the Lloyds and their contribution to make LBC agreatChristian university •

Dr.Lloyd, who has been teaching college for 55 years, started at LBC asthe business manager and then took the positon of chairman of the Division of Communications.

More than students

T n 1958, Mrs. Helen Richie Lloyd founded the Kings *• Playersdrama group atAshbury College in Wilmore, Ky. That group consisted of 14 students who toured one play called "A Mighty Fortress."

Today Mrs. Lloyd isan associate professor of drama at Liberty,and a director of the Kings Players drama group

The A team,directed by Mrs Lloyd, tours five different plays, and the B team,directed by Mr David Allison,tours threeplays

The main purpose of theKings Players istospread the gospel through drama and towinsouls.

"We've had many people saved and rededicated tothe Lord," Mrs. Lloyd said.

Not only does Mrs Lloyd invest insouls, but she personally invests ineach one of the players

"The Kings Players are not just students," Mrs Lloyd said,"They aremy children. Ipray for them."

Mrs Lloyd feelsgood when "her kids" accomplish something Shehashad former Kings Players tobecome ministers and missionaries all over theworld

Mrs. Lloyd islooking for thedaywhen the Kings Players form afullroad team Shefeels thiswill besoon becauseof the rapid growth of thedrama department at the college

Mrs. Helen Richie Lloyd, founder and director ofthe Kings Players for the last 23years, sees herstudents asmore thanstudents. She sees them as her children. Here, Mrs. Lloyd prepares some props for theplay, "TheRobe."

It's work , but it's play

rom the rustic simplicity ofa New England town attheturn of the century to an ancient Greek forest, the LBC drama department once again demonstrated that perfection is itsgoal. The time, work and incessant drive of the students involved ineach production was evident in every aspect of theseason

The play "Our Town" by Thorton Wilder, which opened the season, was directed by Dr Don Garlock The play revolves around thelives oftwo families inaNew England town at the turn of the century Thestory primarily focuses on the families'children, Emily Webb (Julie Trautloff) and George Gibbs (Ty Taylor).Ittells how

The plot weaves a story that leads the audience from life to death,and shows how significant the seemingly insignificant things of life are when looked atfrom death

The play is narrated by the stage manager (Glen Williams),who acts as a God-like figure, directing theshow

Julie Trautloff, who played the female lead,E#iily, said," 'Our Town' not only makes people see real life, but italso brings out the reality of death I realized from the play how important every moment Ispend with the people Iam closest to reallyis."

The play was significant in technique as well as theme There were no sets and the only props were some tables, ladders and two arbors The entire play involved theuseofpanto-

"I think theuseof pantomime involved theaudience more," Trautloff said. "They had to envision in their minds what was happening on the stage."

Another actress,Gina Barrett,who played Mrs Webb, Emily's mother, said the play hadadefinite impact on all theactors involved as well as the audience

"The success of 'Our Town' this year has proven that a well-written, well-performed and well-directed secular drama can be as effective as Christian drama," shesaid.

The second play of the season, directed by David Allison,was the second musical tobe performed at LBC "My Fair Lady," written by Alan Jay Lerner and Fredick Loewe,is a musical

rendition of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmaelion." Itisa story ofa common English cockney, Eliza Doolittle (Sue Bussell), who istransformed into a well-spoken, finely dressed lady by England's leading phoneticist, Henry Higgins (James Garner).

The endeavor to change Eliza stems from a bet between Higgins andhis friend Colonel Pickering (Mike Salisbury) They take this common flower girlandtransform her intoalady who even fools the duchess at the embassy ball.

After theexperiment is completed, Eliza, whohas fallen in love with Higgins, wonders what is to become of her now that shehas been refinedout oftheonly world she hadever known She leaves Higgins and it isn'tuntil he realizes that Eliza has become an independent human being that he regrets herleaving He then sings "I've Grown Accustomed toHerFace," and goes back tohislonely study only to find Eliza hiding in the shadows Higgins ismore than pleased as he says with a sigh, "Eliza? Where thedevil are my slippers?"

The comic interlude by the character ofEliza'sfather, Alfred P.Doolittle (John Garner), kept the audience amused

The finalcampus play ofthe season was Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed byMrs Helen Lloyd

Eliza Doolittle (Sue Bussell), now transformed into a fine lady, wants to know what isto become of her now that Higgins' experiment is over.

"What a frenzy," as socialites gather to watch the nextrunning of the Ascot opening.They sing Ascot Gavotte."

(continued from page 44)

The play is atangled comedy about four people ofancient Greece and the further complication oftheir lives by the presence offairiesandnymphs of the night world

As the play begins, Demetrius (Glenn Williams) has been promised themarriage ofHermia (Leanne Brunner) byher father(Noel DePalma) Yet she is not in lovewith Demetrius, but with Lysander (AlbertCarter), who, in turn, is in lovewith Hermia.To make mattersworse, Helena (Julie Trautloff) isinlovewith Demetrius, who wants nothing todo withher

Hermia's father is determined to have his daughter marry his choice and threatens her with death ifshe does notobey him

Undaunted, Hermia and Lysander taketothewoods atnight toescape to some distant town where they can marry andlive.

Unfortunately, Demetrius discoverstheplan and heads outafter them with Helena hot on his heels.

Once inthe woods the four become prey toOberon (TyTaylor),the King oftheFairies, andhismischievousassistant Puck (BillBell)

Oberon tellsPuck toplace the nectarof some magical flower inthe eyes of Demetrius while he sleeps,sothat he would fall in love with the first person he sees on waking Oberon does this anticipating that Demetrius will seeHelena first, causing him to fall in love with her, making the whole situation right again

Unfortunately Puck not only places the nectar in the eyes of Demetrius but also Lysander, and on waking, they both look on the innocent Helena. They are both now inlove with Helena which confuses the situation for all.

The audience isable to agree with Puck at this point when he says, "What fools these mortals be."

Along with thesecharacters, theanticsofBottoms (John Garner)and his friends aswell astherestofthe fairy kingdom showed Shakespearian comedy atitsbest

One student said of the play, "I never knew thatShakespeare could be so funny."

practice was fun."

Although Robbie has seen many victories,.she has also experienced a few losses

Robbie, a freshman from Memphis, Tenn., isa six-time goir national champion roller skater For her, winning ic ultimate achievement

Robbie's career had itsbeginnings when she was 3 yea old It was at this time that

she began taking lessons at a local roller rink

"I really didn't skate much then," she said "I would get to lessons and sitdown in the middle of the rink and cry."

Robbie stopped taking lessons until she was 4yearsold, when she saw some skaters on TV She then asked her mother ifshe could start taking lessons again.

"I guess I started enjoying it more," she said. "My classes progressed so well that my teacher suggested to my mother than I have private lessons

It was in Robbie's eighth year that she won her firstnational competition for her division Five more times after thatshe won the same national championship in different divisions. She was also suciful in the national pairs competition.

"Whenever you compete you know you're not always going towin,"she said. "You justdo your best, accept it and come back next year. Also, your wins help to cover the losses."

Even though Robbie knows how to lose well, she still feelsthatwinning isthebest

"When 1win Ihave such a sense of accomplishment," she said."I know that I have reached my goal and that all the pain and sacrifice has been worth it It's not just a trophy that you walk away with, but the prestige that goes along with it."

In spite of all the excitement and rewards ofcompetition,Robbie has retired at 19 years of age She says she has no regrets,though

"I can apply all the things that I learned while skating," she said

Robbie is now an elementary education major,and she feels the experience she had with her instructors will be valuable to her in her future career.

Even though she has no regrets, Robbie still misses skating occasionally.

"I went to one of the late skates and it stirred up memories from a meet thatI had here at the Lynchburg rink four years ago, she said.

The highlight of Robbie's skating career came when she and her partner were able to compete in the world championships. In 1978,they won ^^™" ™ lid medal in Lisbon, Spain, Ag wenJS wjn„ing six national championships alone, Robbiealsocompetind in 1979 they won the gold ecj ,„ national pairs competition. She and her partner won two majorgold at the Pan Amei iCan games in medals-one at the1978worldchampionships and one atthe1979 Pam C !...« P,,ortr> Rim American game-

Although there was alol glory in these wins,Robbie had tosacrifice tobe successful would practice everyday after school for about three houi imer for about six hours,' she said. "It was anything that I missed worth it And, believe itor not

Vet I know that Ican't live on past glories I'll just have tobecontent being a weekend skater."

Robbie may be content being away from the competi- ' ion yet she stillhas enough reminders that she retired as a vorld champion skater.

T | orm life is integral to the social life of students at Liberty. In ** light of the rapid growth of the college, Student Affairs felt that social unity would best be preserved through each individual dorm. SGA was revamped to accomodate this change and officers were elected within each dorm in the areas of spiritual, academic and social life. Each dorm tried to develop its own unique personality; some even captioned their dorms with slogans and Greek initials. Other dorms developed active social activities with brother and sister dorms. And in the end they fought it out in the Battle of the Dorms.

Social unity was the key and action was the ingredient that helped students have unity and social life right in their own dorms.

Dor m On e

Their slogan was "One for Christ" and that was their goal

The girls of Dorm One,with RAs Rhonda Hewittand Ramona Coggins, had many activities: aHalloween party, a car wash that raised enough money to have a barbeque with the r brotherdorm, Dorm Five, and a talent show with their second semester brother dorm,Dorm 18-2

Occasionally athallmeetings there were also visitors like the "Bag Sisters"and the "Do-Right Family."

Not only were there activities for fun, but they also had activities for socialand spiritual uplift

The first semester thedorm wasinvolved with a children's home,Faith House, inNorth Carolina Each girl in the dorm was responsible for one childto writeletters to and send gifts On weekends some ofthegirls would go down to the home.

Ramona and Rhonda also held a weekly discipleship group for the girls in the dorm, and they collected money for a poor Japanese family in Lynchburg

Erin Jach said, "The greatestthing about Dorm One iswe had unity."

Let it also go on record that Dorm One won theBattleof the Dorms. D

Dorm Two wasnot their sisterdorm, though Dorm Four had a secret brother and sister relationship with Dorm 12.

Vassiliou attributes the unified nature ofthe dorm to the activitiesthey hadtogether, yet it wasmostly aresult of the dorm discipleship program they conducted. Vassiliou said that theaverage attendance was about50

Th e begining of the second semester brought ashock to many female stuents that were living at LBC's downtown campus,TheHotel When the girls returned they found that their home had been changed to thenewtwo-story dorm onthe mountain.

The move left many ofthegirls disappointed and disillusioned, butas the year took its course, the girls found that they still maintained the familyatmosphere they hadat the hotel the only thing they missed were the guys.

The first floor of Dorm Nineteen, formally the fifth floor of the hotel, was headed by RAs Donna Rouzie and Trudy Goff Together with the restofthe dorm they organized many activities including Donkey Football and a late movie.

Along with these,there was also a scavenger hunt organized,which was arranged so that they could getto know their new neighbors on the mountain

There was also a pizza party with the sixth floor of the Hotel (Dorm Nineteen-Two)andthey hada special hall meeting with Dr Don Garlock speaking.

The year ended with a "Pig Out" party where the girls had their last chance to socialize with one another before leaving forthe year.

The oldStewartArms Hotel has aged somewhat since the dayofits opening in 1913, but todayitmeans home for anumber ofLBCstudents.

It'snot what itused to be, but it's home

I n 1974, students sorted through rubbish and put forth effortsto clean theold hotel, inhopes of establishing their new home

The VirginianHotel, constructedin 1913, housed 400 LBC students at the beginning ofthe1980-81 school year. Laterintheyear, with thecompletion of another dorm on Liberty Mountain,the two floors which had been home for nearly 200 LBC women became unoccupied.

The six-storystructure, laternamed The StewartArms Hotel, islocated on the corner of Church and Eighth Streets in downtown Lynchburg

According to the May 1,1913 edition of the Lynchburg News, the opening ceremony for the hotel was held April 30,1913.The celebration lasted from 8 p.m.until 11 p.m.with an orchestra on the second floorproviding theentertainment

According to the newspaper, the

lobby was finished intan with ablue tapestry effect The left side of the lobby was devoted to a lounge and reading department while the right side served asa cafeand variousservicerooms

The men's cafe on the first floor was adutch stylewith missionfurniture. The second floor was a banquet hall, reception room and parlors The second floorbridalchambers, orGovernor's suites,were finished in mahogany with gray French draperies. Each ofthefourteen bedrooms on the second floor had its own colonial bath

In June, 1969,the hotel was auctioned off to Malcolm Wilder for $163,000 This ended a year-long struggletokeep the building open as ahotel.

According to W. Martin Johnson, Hotel Corporation president, the "closing of the hotel was due to the

lack of local support and lack of patronage."

On June 1, 1972, Liberty Baptist College acquired the hotel.

The building was aged somewhat and quite a few changes have been made. Visitors notice that the lobby no longer has the plush couchesit once had.Instead the lobby is rather empty—except for the lone pinball machinethat standsbetweenthe RoyalCrown Cola machine and the two telephones. The exquisite lounge is now merely 10or15chairs The original brass railingisno longerbrass but is covered with black paint and is dusted daily

The sign outside no longer reads The Virginian Hotel. Nor doesit read The Stewart Arms Hotel In 1913, no one would have dreamed thatthe present-day red, white and blue sign would read Liberty Baptist College.

The hotel maintains a spirit of oneness

The downtown campus, commonly known to LBC studentsas the "Hotel,"saw its lastdays asacollege housing facility this pastyear.

Literallyhundreds ofstudentshave livedat the hotel during some point of their four-year stay at Liberty The downtown campus has been credited with a family-type atmosphere and it's just walking distance from any shopping location in downtown Lynchburg.

Mark Stewart, a junior from the fourth floor, said, "This year the Hotel won theintramural footballchampionship and placed very high inthe 'Battle of the Dorms' competition."

Stewart went on to say that heaccredited hotel victories to the "spirit of oneness"that existedat thehotel campus during theyear

§eptember of 1980 was a long awaited time forthe people of Lynchburg. Excitement mounted as that time came closer and closer. The newspaper carried storiesabout it Everyone talked about it. Finally, ithappened River Ridge Mall opened for business

C. Arthur Middleton, executive director of the Greater Lynchburg Chamber ofCommerce, said thatthe mall hasproven tobe a definite economic plus for the city ofLynchburg.

"The mall makes Lynchburg more attractive as a place to live and asa place to shop," Middleton said. "We hope that River Ridge Mall willappeal tothe marginal shopper -for example,those who live inBedford and had previously gone to Roanoke to shop would nowcome to Lynchburg."

River Ridge Mall was nottheonly new business tospring up withinthe 1980-81 period The Hilton hotel was also built These areonly thebeginnings of developments constantly taking place and being planned.

According to Middleton, there are some plans on thedrawing board for the revitalization of the downtown area which consist of a hotel,office buildings and a meeting center Just how soon these plans will become a reality is anyone's guess.

"Business growth actually depends

upon the national economy and the interest rate.There are no major developments taking place presently, and there will not be any until the interest rate islowered from itscurrent high standing and until we can feel more comfortable about ournation's economy," Middleton said

He said that there isa positive side to Lynchburg's business expansion, and that is that the city has such a diversified economy which includes many manufacturers, several colleges and some commercial travelingfacilities.

"The economic well-being of Lynchburg is directly related tothe dollars that come into the city," Middleton said "Manufacturing is the main source, while colleges are other important constituents."

Students who come tocollege from other states spend the money that they bring with them on food,clothing and tuition. Middleton said that this isan important measure inthe economic health of the city.

Another factorwhich contributes to the economic well-being of Lynchburg isthe high population growth, according to Middleton

Off-campus students find advantages and disadvantages

The y experience different forms and ways of life, yet they all have onething incommon, they live off-campus

Each year, especially with the expansive growth of the college, more and more studentsareresorting to life away from thedorms

When one looks closely at those who have chosen this lifestyle while atcollege, he findsthatsome livewith parents and families, some are married and some just like the independent atmosphere and privacy that one's own apartment brings

There are two varied opinions in regard tothepros and cons ofliving off-campus.

Liz Maniscalco,an off-campus students,says shelikes tobe by herself, so shefindsthe solitudean advantage to herlifestyle. Shealso says she eats betterbecause she willeatthree meals a day, where whilelivinginthe dorms itwaseasy toskip meals.Inthelong run Lizalso feelsthat shespends less money

"I save $80 a month as long as I keep tomy budget," Lizsaid.

Liz's roommate, Janet Young, also sees off-campus life as being more conducive toher lifestyle

"It'smore private andmore normal of an atmosphere," Janet said "It's a good step toliving on your own and getting married."

Although both Janet and Liz see definite advantages totheir life away from thedorms,they experience some drawbacks

"Not having a car is a disadvantage," Lizsaid, "and thereisaproblem with eating lunch. When I bringit with me there isno place tokeepit cold and there isno place toeat it I usually end up eating inthe car."

Although she enjoys the privacy, Janet misses the company a dorm brings

"I miss being able tojust go down the hall and visit some friends," she said. "I miss seeing my friends as much asIwant. Ialso miss thecrazy things that go on in thedorm."

During the 1970s,while 129 private colleges were closing their doors forever,Liberty Baptist College experienced a 15 percent growth rate

While the reasons for the decline in America's 1,500 private colleges during the'70swere making many educators and economists feel that the '80s would continue the downward trend in enrollment and the spiraling costs in tuition, administrators atLBC were optimistic about the future and were already planning for increased enrollment through the '80s.

A Carnegie study predicts that as many as 300 institutions will vanish in the '80sand many educators expect even a greater number of colleges to

lose their present indentity through mergers and drastic cutbacks in the range of courses offered

Where other colleges are predicting outright bankruptcies,LBC continues to build and expand to keep up with the steady stream of college applicants

A chief reason for the gloomy outlook for private colleges is that they

must compete with public colleges which get regular subsidies from state governments to keep tuition low

The average yearly private-college tuition as of 1978 was $2,970 (notincluding room and board), compared with public-college tuition of $600. Therefore, the pressure for private colleges to continue to raise tuition feesis great, since only halfofprivate

college education is paid by tuition Private colleges arehaving torely on gifts, endowments, and government grants tomake up thedifference

"Middle-class students who would have gone to private colleges may end up in public institutions or community colleges," said John A Crowl, executive editor and publisher of the "Chronicle of Higher Education."

In 1978, projections compiled by Oakland Financial Group of Char-

lottesville,Va., indicated that bythe time a child who was 1 year oldin 1978 reached college age,the totalcost —including tuition,room and board, travel and incidentals—of earning a bachelor's degree will be (in current dollars) $47,333 at a state university and $82,830 ata private college.

At Harvard, tuition charges roseto $7,500 in1979 Others inthe nation's most expensive five: Bennington, $7,540; Yale, $7,500; Massachusetts

Long lines atthecollege's registration are obvioussigns ofLBC'sincreasedgrowth. Here, students pass through final check-out at spring registration.

Along with the competition of publiccolleges, inflation isanother major reason for the struggles private colleges face When the family pocketbook ishit,many students will start (continued on page 84)

The flurry of activity around the classroom buildings isindicative ofthe college's massive growth Begun in 1971with 154students, LBC now boasts 3,000 students.

turning to public institutions to get their education

An example of inflation affecting privatecollegescan be seen inthe92.7 percent tuition increase over 1970-71

In 1979, Massachusetts Institute of Technology inCambridge, Mass., told its students they'd need $8,900—$5,300 for tuition,$2,685 for room and board,$630 for personal expenses and $285 for books and supplies for the school year of 1980. Ten years ago tuition at MIT was $2,150. While thepricesforprivatecolleges may seem overwhelming, they have

stillnot raised tuition fees enough to cover the impact of inflation Until the late'70smost colleges had not begun toraisetheirannual fees, yet with expenses rising month by month administrators feel their only choice is to pass on the cost to students.

While the predictions for private colleges continue to grow bleak and many private colleges are on a downward spin,Liberty Baptist College is on the upswing

In 1971, LBC started with a little over a hundred students and within ten years has grown to more than 3,000students.

subsidies or federal aid, has actually lagged behind the tuition increases at private universities For 1980-81 where the average tuition and fees totaled at $6,002, Liberty's costs were $3,590

Dr. Earl Mills, who is in chargeof research and development at thecollege, believes the reason LBC hasbeen able tokeep itscosts down isthrough efficient and conservative planning. Although LBC is not as well developed or as plush as the many private colleges that are charging higher tuition, itstrives to offer qualityeducation at a minimum price by keeping tuition and room and board costs

"Our education buildings and dorms are rather basic," Mills said, "but they are efficient. W e don't have show-case buildings, because wetry toutilizeall wehave atthe least possibleprice."

Liberty isunique inthataprincipal source of income comes through Dr Jerry Falwell's television program, "The Old-Time Gospel Hour." Although the students hear about Liberty through different channels, the main source for recruitment of students isthrough Falwell's program

While "The Old-Time Gospel Hour" brings students to Liberty, Mills believes thefuture ofLBC will continue to look positive due to the

rapid growth of the Christian day school movement throughout the United States.Mills explained that at leastthree Christian schools arestarting each day throughout the United States, and as these schools develop and start graduating seniors,atleast half of these seniors will be seeking out Christian colleges to attend With seniors graduating from Christian high schools, LBC hasa good chance ofmeeting theircollegiateeducational needs

While thefuture formany private colleges looks bleak and private educatorscry out for help,those at Liberty Baptist College plan to keep their doors open—perhaps even a little wider

seniors incorporated their company and named it SAGA — from Kanadesaga, the Indian word forGeneva. And so SAGA was born.

Today,SAGA is a publicly owned company with revenues inexcessof a half billion dollars

SAGA serves more colleges and universities than any other contract food servicemanagement company in the world. SAGA not only deals in collegefood services, but extendsinto hospitals, clinicsand nursing homes, as well as owning Straw Hat pizza chains,Stuart Anderson's Black Angusand CattleCompany Restaurants, The Refectory(a chainofyoung-adult dinner houses)and the Velvet Turtle Resturant

At Liberty, SAGA worksalong with Dean John Baker, who is incharge of food services at the college. SAGA provides the style and type of meal plans that the school wants Allof SAGA's menu planning comes out of SAGA's corporate headquarters in Menlo Park,CA., with Ed Pfisteras the director for SAGA atLibertyand his wife Lois as the head secretary. SAGA employs 30 full-time workers and 250 part-time student workers On an average, SAGA spends $40,000 a week to feed LBC students and serves around 4,800meals a day The Pfisters,who worked on other college campuses before coming to LBC, noticed that Liberty students consume more food than thestudents on other campuses.

Ed Pfister, SAGA director atLiberty, and his wifeLois, head secretary, carefully planeach day's meals served atthe cafeteria.

SAGA notonlymaintains the cafeteria, butalso Mr. Munchies, thestudent snack barlocated in the Dorm 2 Recreation Hall. Here, Sherry Perry, a student worker for SAGA, waits on hungry students.

Student workers must treat fellow students as customers and duringthe dinnerrush that can be difficult. Here,

"The first week we were here, we had a hard time keeping food," Lois Pfister said. "We really noticed abig differenceinhowmuch more food the kids ate here and how much more meal participation LBC had."

The Pfisters explained that what makes SAGA somuch different from other food services is that SAGA maintains high ethical standards in their food quality andcontrol

"A lot of companies come into a place and will be careful about the quality of food they serve, and then after a year of so lettheir standards slip,"Lois Pfister said."That's where SAGA is different."

Even though SAGA offers the students the four basic food groups and a variety of food choices, there are always thestudents who will complain and joke about the food, but the Pfistsers understand that a lot ofthis has to dowith eating in thesame place threetimesaday and having toeatat a hurried pace in a crowded cafeteria.

The present cafeteria wasn't designed for feeding somany students," Ed Pfister said, "and that is why it sometimes seems more like a truckstop."

"That leads to a lot of complaints from students,but we have nocontrol

over that,"Lois Pfister said

The Pfisters explained that they don't mind complaints from students and are more that willing to work with them, butthey feel thestudents need to get more involved and give constructive criticism rather thatjust complaining

"We like to get constructive feedback from students, but when they just complain and gripe it'sharderto deal with," Ed Pfister said

Most ofthe students who work for SAGA find they enjoy their job and the Pfisters find the workers are good compared to the other colleges they have workedat

"I like working here,because they make me feel as though I'm worth something to theorganization," said one junior.

"I love working for SAGA," said one graduating senior, "and I might work forSAGA inCalifornia."

It was a biting cold New Hampshire evening

And 40LBC students set outto canvass Democratic communities in hopes of Republican votes

With maps,flyersandclipboards in hand,they went inpairs, knockingon doors and ringing bells, optimistic about thenight ahead

"Hello, I'm avolunteer with the Republican Party to elect Mel Thompson forgovernor, and "Thompson? You've gotta be sick!" Slam

It was the first of many more slammed doors The night had just begun.

That group of students who spent the weekend in New Hampshire found door-to-door campaigning a learning experience in politicalactivity.

Sen. Jesse Helms presents his conservative views on abortion atthe March forLife rally. LBC's YAF chapter took agroup tothe Washington D.C rally.

Waving placards and slogans is somewhat reminicient of thepolitical involvement ofthe '60s. Here though, it is touplift the political structure, rather than tearing itdown.

Freedom,was tohelp re-electRepublican Gov Mel Thompson against his Democratic opponent, Hugh Gallen Their strategy was canvassing communities with literature and information on a personal basis the weekend before the election. Although Thompson lost toGallen, thetrip was not a loss Students came back to school with abetterunderstanding ofpolitics and aninsight into "grass roots"campaigning

"Going door-to-door made me aware ofhow uninvolved peopleare," said Eddie Beard, an LBC freshman

"I was surprised—people were more politically involved than I thought," said Julie Tinman, apolitical science major.

"I enjoyed it Itgot me more into politics and I'ddo itagain," said LBC freshman Carol Swanson.

Those 40students were representativeofwhat political science professor Stephen Witham called the"new political awareness" among LBC students

"There isa greater involvement of students in politics today than there

was five years ago," Witham said "Political activity isapproaching the level ofa secular school."

With the influence of YAF, Moral Majority and thepolitical science department, along with questions and issues addressed from the pulpit, students have become more aware of political responsibility and activity.

Reagan's timely visit to LBC for the National Religious Broadcasters convention was the added stimuli needed toincrease students desire forand awareness ot politics.

Reagan Visits LB C For NR B

I t was another ordinary Friday in Lynchburg Another ordinary Friday at Liberty Baptist College, with one exception—presidental candidate Gov Ronald Reagan was coming totown

LBC's campus hadbeen transformed andasense ofexpectation seemed tohang in the air.

The parking lotshadbeen emptied androped off. Thefamiliar sight ofyellow buses wasgone,and security guards stood posted atevery corner and building entrance O n theroof of the Multi-Purpose building armed guards walked back and forth ready todeal with any danger.

Classes had been cancelled and the excitement among the student body washigh Students crowded the cafeteria todiscuss Reagan's visit and theupcoming election

Inside the General Education Hall classrooms had been turned into press rooms and reporters scattered inside and outside thebuilding

Young Americans for Freedom members were busy outside directing cameramen and reporters,and giving outinforma-

tion to visitors.

A lonepoliceman peers through binoculars asReagan s motorcade approaches theLBC Multi-Purpose Center. Over 50 securitypersonnel wereon hand for thepresidential candidate's appearance in October.

Long lines formed in front of the Multi-Purpose building with students wearing buttons saying: "Reagan Country," "Christians for Reagan" and other slogans

It was the second National Religious Broadcasters Conference and the Republican nominee for thepresidency of the United States was speaking

For those crowded inside the building on bleachers and chairs,thewaiting was intense.

The moments before Reagan would enter the buildin g seeme d to stretch into hours.

Then the moment came. The crowd rose to its feet, as cheers and screams of excitement filled the air. Signs with bold-face "REAGAN" letters waved back and forth Reporters and cameramen rushed close to the platform clicking cameras and recording the event on paper.

As Reagan walked onto the platform the cheers and whistling faded

ashe leaned slightlytowards thepodium and said, "It ismy honor to share my thoughts with thereligiousbroadcasters today who bring the message of Judeo-Chriatian values into the homes of tens of millions of Americans."

The crowd listened carefully as Gov. Reagan spoke with confidence about the responsibility of the regligious broadcasters in helping shape and change the world, and of ordinary citizens in bringing peace to America.

For a brief hour Liberty Baptist College had seen and heard the former governor ofCalifornia inliving color.

After the motorcade of carsand press buses left and the Multi-Purpose building had been cleared, Reagan's last words to the crowd seem to linger on . .. "In all we do we must truly be peacemakers, for ourselves and for our children, for our nation and for the world."

TAT henreligion division chairman Woodrow Kroll, came toLBC five and one-half years ago,the division could have held itsmeetings in theback ofaVolkswagen bus,according toKroll

Today the division has' nineteen members minus one The missing member isDr Kroll

In January Kroll took apositionas President ofthe Practical BibleTraining School in Binghamton, N.Y

When Kroll first came to LBC, C. Sumner Wemp was thedivision chairman. All the present teachers have come since Kroll'sarrival.

Before accepting his position at LBC, Kroll had three different offers from other schools. One school wanted him tohead their division of religion.LBC wanted him tobean assistant professor

"Ihadnever visited LBC before and I didn't know what toexpect," Kroll said. "All I saw were students one mile wide and one-quarter inch deep There wasalotofenthusiasm and no soil."

According to Kroll, the Lord worked out hisdecision when the two other offers fell through There was only one choice left—LBC

Since coming to Liberty, Kroll found thatthis decision was"definitely thebest."Along with histeaching in the college, he was assigned to teach the Couples Bible Class onSunday mornings at TRBC

When Kroll left, the class had grown from 26 people toabout 1,000. Kroll said hewanted theclass members tohave adeeper study inthe Bible as well as fellowship. The class, which had met intheInstitute Room since itsbegining, moved to the old sanctuary last January because of its tremendous growth

Along with hisregular teachingand theSunday school class, Kroll had invested histime instudents inthe Foreign Studies Program.

Kroll's leaving was one regretted by administration and thestudent body alike. Here, Dr. and Mrs. Krollareshown appreciation ata faculty reception

"Al I saw were students one mile wide and one quarter inch deep ..."

"I think there are two things my students will remember me for,"Kroll said "The first ismy consistencyand the second ismy simplicity Ifeel my gift from God is my ability to take what iscomplicated andmake it simple."

In regard tohis leaving the college, Kroll said, "It isn't easy and I wouldn't leave except that the Lord has guided this way."

Allaround the academic buildings, students walked,proudly flourishing their gowns, ready to don them and march infortheceremony thatwould be theend of their undergraduatecareerand the begining of the new life they had worked so hardfor

Inside the Multi-Purpose Center, the location of the 1981 commencement, parents and friends eagerly awaited the entranceof the graduating classthatwould mark the tenth year of the college.

A drum-rollwas sounded and to the melody of"Pomp and Circumstance," the graduating class and the faculty entered thebuilding.

The first year of the college there were 150 students,on this day there were 469 graduates in the three schools.

After the opening exercises by Dr

Falwell and Dr Guillermin,the honorary degrees were awarded.

There were four honorary degrees conferred. The first wentto Woo Lung Houng, who was tortured forhis faith inNorth Korea untilhe left the countryin1954. He then began aschoolin

South Korea that today isthelargest Christian school in the world Other honorary degreesawarded were to Dr. Jack Van Impe,Don Stone and RichardVigneulle

The commencement address was brought by Dr.W. A.Criswell; ofthe FirstBaptistChurch in Dallas, Texas.

Dr Falwell said of Dr Criswell, "He hasprobably broughtthe greatest honor totheWord ofGod ofany man today."

Dr Criswell challenged thegraduatesby presenting thebasisof Christianeducation

"We can livein the basement level oflife," hesaid "We can reachout for intellectual achievement, or we can reach out for the spiritual view. The

man who knows and walks with God this islife eternal."

Following the address,Dr Falwell gave an invitation during which a number of parents came forward, accepting Christ assavior

Before anyone realized it, three hourshad gone by and theprocession of the faculty had passed out ofthe building.

Dr. Guillermin then presented the graduating class of1981 Cameras flashed, cheers sounded and caps flew into the air

The graduates, amidst thehugsand handshakes, gradually made thier way out of the building to face their future— toleavefriendsandfamiliar surroundings.

Some were certain and steady and some were unsure. They knew that graduation wasn't a peak, but they knew it was a major milestone

-John Schlesinger •

Making it official, missions majors Ed Liddle and Dawn Holifield move their tassels signifying they are now graduates.

Hugs and smiles arepresented to elementaryeducation majorKim Davidson by herproud mother, now that shehas completed her undergraduate career.

The moment everycollege student anticipates has finally arrived for English major Lauren Gregory, as sheproudly recieves her diploma from Dr. Falwell.

For many, graduation is an emotional experience. Here, a graduate accepts an embracefrom his proud father.

Dr. W. A. Criswell, pastor of The First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, gave the commencement address for the second time in the school's history. The first timewas in 1975.

With a look ofoptimistic hope, missions major James McNeil attentively listens toDr. Criswell"s address.

"We need twoyoungsters that will give us immediate help.

Running with the future in mind

¥ nvolvement in sports is nothing •*• new for senior Julie Smiley,an activecompetitor inallwomen's sports while attendingLBC.

Although Juliehas been involvedin mostly team sports, she decided she needed something different.

"I wanted to participate in a sport that would lay afoundation for keeping me fitas I get older,"she said, "so I decided togo out for track since I had always had to run for training purposes in team sports."

"My senior year was my best," Julie said. "I got involved in track and cross-country and loved every minute of sweating time."

Julie has two motivations forrunning

"The first and most important reason Irun istorun fortheLord,"she said. "The second isto give me personal satisfaction."

Julie decided to run cross-country because "it is a more individualized sport."

"When you're running, it's just your mind against your conditioned body trying to beat the clock," she said.

Glenn started each season since 1977 and proved to be a strong and alertperformer while on thefield.

How doeshe feel beforeagame? "I feelkinda nervous,but afterthe first snap ofaplayeverything is great," he said

Each kick keeps streak alive

Last year's point after attempts may have seemed insignificant to some, yet to a follower of Flames' football it meant the streak was still alive

The past three years the Flame's kickers have tallied 79 straight extra points which isthelongest string of any small college team in the nation. Rod Gladfelter began the stringin the 1978-79 season with 38 straight extra points and it was continued by Clay Thompson in the remainder of the 1979 season with nine points During 1980, freshman Mark DeMoss kept thestreakaliveasheadded 32straight points tothe total DeMoss says every kick is the same.

"One kick is as important asthe other,so Iput everything into every kick," hesaid

"It doesn't upset me when I miss because I know I'm doing the best that Icando," DeMoss said DeMoss has only missed twice in his footballcareer

Wrestlers advanceto National Olympic trials

I n May 1980,almost three months after the United States decided to boycott theMoscow Olympics, Aaron Thomas andPatSolefought their way through theAmateur Athletic Union National Olympic trials competition in Madison, Wis

Even though the boycott assured that they would not compete inthe 1980 Olympics, Sole and Thomas placed fifth and seventh respectively afterqualifying inthe AA U Southern competition Sole and Thomas felt confident competing at this level of competition because oftheir previous season's performance

Sole finished the 1980regular season with a 12-6 record after an ankle injury kept him from competition in the first half of the season Thomas became the first Flames wrestler to complete an undefeated season,going 32-0 on his way to second NCCA A National Championship

Both Soleand Thomas were gladfor the experience they gained in the higher competition ofOlympic trials.

PatSolehas twomore years ofeligibilityas an LBC wrestler. Sole, from West Virginia, has won national tournaments and hasalso toured Europeasa representative ofthe U.S. wrestling team.

"The main reason I went was to gain experience,"Thomas said "I feel I'm as good as anyone in the nation and I need a chance to improve m y skills The AA U lets me wrestle ina higher caliber ofcompetition."

"I hoped to place in the top 10," Sole said, "and get experience wrestling atthat level ofcompetition."

Despite the transition from collegiate to freestyle wrestling,Sole and Thomas were confident they could compete with the stronger competition.

"I've competed with thebest andI feel I can compete nationally," Sole said.

Sole's main concern was making theweight. Solewrestled at118for the Flames but chose to compete inthe 105 weight class in theAA U trials

Thomas said that prayer calms him in preperation foreach match.

"Everybody gets nervous," Thomas said. "When you don't it's time to hang it up."

Sole hastwoyears ofeligibilityremaining at LBC

"Right nowI'm praying aboutjoin-

ingAthletesinAction," Solesaid. "To me getting the gospel out is moreimportant than any medals I've won."

Bloomfield State pitcher Rich Embesser held LBC to four hits in the second contest of the day A two-run triple by SteveYounts and asingleby Mark deYmaz scored all three LBC runs in the third inning LBC ledthe game 3-2 until the top of the eighth when ahome run and atwo-run double put Bloomfield ahead to stay Starting pitcher Lee Guettermanscattered10 hits buttheloss went to Doug Smith, 5-2, who was thevictim ofthe three-run eighth inning.

The loss forced LBC to play three games the following day and leftthe Flames one loss away from elimination, yetHead Coach Al Worthington was confident of the team'sability

"We are planning to go to the nationals," Worthington said. "We plan

towin three tomorrow."

And win they did. The Flames swept all threegames towin theArea 8 playoffs, qualifyingthem forthe national finals in Lubbock, Texas.

The Flames'firstvictim of theday was Penn St.-Behrend Led by Sid Bream's four home runs, the Flames emerged victoriouswith ascoreof 104. Freshman Aner Gonzalez went the distance and held the Pennsylvania team to only sixhits.

The win over Penn. St.-Behrend pushed the Flames into the regional finals against Bloomfield State,the only team thathad beaten theFlames in the regional competition

The teams played two games and LBC avenged it's previous lossasthe Flames dropped Bloomfield 12-11 in the firstgame,and romped the New Jersey team 16-6 in the second. The second win clinched the regional play-offs for theFlames

During the day, the Flames accumulated 57hits, 38 runs and 17 home runs

SidBream sparked LBC'shitting explosion with seven hits, eight runs scored and 10 runs battedin.

The Flames also had help from Mark deYmaz, who had four hits, threeRBIs and scored threetimes; PeterGuy,who hita home run andcollected two singles; and Tom Sweat, who added a two-run homer.

Relief pitcher Doug Smith got the win in the first game and Dave Schauer, in only his fifth startofthe season, got the win in the second

post-season play

game.

The Flames traveled to the NAIA College World Series baseball tournament in early June with a 37-11 record.

Their first opponent in Texas was Lubbock Christian College,the tournament host.

The Flames held offa latechallenge by the Chaparrals to score a 8-5 first round victory.

Lubbock went out in front early in thegame with two runs on four walks and one hitinthe firstinning.But the Flames came back in the bottom half and combined three hits with a Lubbock error and moved ahead,3-2

The Texas team tied it up in the second with back-to-back doubles, but LBC regained its lead in thethird. Leading off with a single, Renard Brown stolesecond, moved tothird on a passed ball and then scored on a wild pitch by Lubbock starter Rod Cline. Rick Wells, running for Tom Sweat who had walked, also crossed the plate when Lee Guetterman hit a run-scoring double

With a score of 5-3, there was no further action until the seventh inning. After having the game delayed by more than an hour due torain,LBC scored three times in the bottom of the seventh to increase their lead to83

The Chaparrals rallied again in the ninth to score two runs, but the Flames held on towin their first game in the NAIA finals

The LBC team's second game was

against Azuza Pacific College,a California team that had received afirstround bye in the tournament

The game,which the Flames won 54,began on Wednesday but ended on Thursday Severe thunderstorms were responsible for the 19 hour delay.

LBC took a 3-0 first inning lead with a Sid Bream bases-clearing double

Azuza Pacific tied the game in the fourth without the benefit of a hit Shoddy play by the Flames including a dropped pop fly,a passed ball and an infield error enabled the Californians to gain three runs even though LBC starter Lee Guetterman had pitched no-hit ball

But then the rains came, suspending theaction until the following day

In the first inning on Thursday, Mark deYmaz and Sid Bream slapped back-to-back doubles to give LBC a 4-3 lead after five innings

The next inning, the sixth, Rick Wells scored what was to be the winning run on asingleby Gary Wagner.

Azuza pulled to within one in the bottom of the sixth but could not top the Flames for the win

Starter Lee Guetterman got the win to up his record to 10-5,while Doug Smith collected a save

Next to face the Flames was Winthrop College of South Carolina

In the contest, LBC squandered away two excellentscoring opportunities before watching Winthrop score three runs in the eighth inning to break a 1-1 tie

The Winthrop second baseman twice threw LBC runners out at home plate in the fifth and sixth innings But the key play of the game was a two-run Winthrop single in the eighth inning that broke a 1-1 tie.

The Flames had a chance to come back in the ninth,but their bats were silent and the game fell to Winthrop, 4-1

Never fully recovering from their losstoWinthrop,the Flames dropped their next and final game the following day

They were paired against Azuza Pacific, the California team they had beaten two days before Seeking revenge, the Cougars eliminated the Flames from the tournament with a score of11-1

Azuza held LBC to a mere five hits in the game.

"Although we only got five hits, their pitcher was really not that good," Coach Al Worthington said. "They scored afew runs early and got off to a good start We hit the ball hard,but usually right at somebody."

LBC got it'sonly run in the fourth innng when Rick Wells,who singled, scored on agrounder by SteveYounts

LBC was the sixth team to beeliminated from the 10-team field.

The Flames thus finished fifth in the nation with a record of 39-13

"The team had a great year so they have nothing to be ashamed of We played the best we could," Worthington said •

Despite a post-season loss, the Lad y Flames softball team achieved their

First winnin g season in three years

Th e first winning season in the three-year history ofLBCsoftball was recorded by the 1981 Lady Flames with a 19-15 record.

An opening round loss toFrancisMarion College inthe Region IIDivision II AIAW playoffs at Milligan College inTennessee erased theLady Flames' hopes in the double-elimnation tournament. Despite the loss, second-year coach Barb Dearing said the team reached an important goal

"One of our goals was to have a winning percentage of over .500 this year," Coach Dearing said.

In the three year history of LBC softball, noteam hadcompiled a winning record until 1981.

"Everyone knew we had thepotential,"Dearing said "It just had to be brought tothe top.The key thing we need to develop isconsistency This team played either reallygood or really bad, never anything in between."

The team began thepre-season with a triptothe University ofSouth Carolina for an invitational tournament The team returned with a 1-3exhibition record only todrop the opening regular season double-header to Lock Haven State College

After what some considered tobe a dismal start,the Lady Flames tallied four straight victories over Tennesse Temple and Radford University to raise their early regular season record to 4-2.

The Lady Flames continued their homestand by splitting a doubleheader with Averett College before sweeping a twin bill from Ferrum

With a7-3record theteam traveled to the University of Virginia where they split two games. The Lady Flames had lost three out of four to UVa in theprevious season but were 2-2 against the Charlottesville team during 1981.UVa will move from Division Ito Division IInext season

Athletic competition an d participation encourages

Wha t isitthat drives a personto exert every ounce ofenergy to win an athletic contest?

Competition

The intramural program atLBCoffers students a chance torelease that lurking spirit ofathletic competition.

With activities ranging from pingpong toflag football and bowling to softball, almost 2,000 students were involved in theprogram during each semester.

First-yeardirectorRoy Yarborough said the goal inplanning intramurals is toencourage participation

Yarborough said the program presently attracts more men than women, but he istrying tochange that

"In the past,women were usually left out," Yarborough said. "We're getting them more involved."

Yarborough said the drawing card ofintramurals isthe"concept of competition."

"People compete to see if they're better than someone else," Yarborough said "We try to keep that in perspective with our Christian witness."

One downfall ofthepresent intramural program isthe lack of adequate facilities.

"Our main concern istoget better fields,"Yarborough said "Theschool is very aware of the problem andis working with us."

Despite the common problems of facilities, Yarborough expects participation tocontinue to increase.

"There has tobeadependability on my part,"Yarborough said "IfI tell the students there's going to be a league, then I have tomake sure there is one."

According to Yarborough, this dependability will make the program grow

With thedrive ofathletic competition being a constant, LBC students should be able tocontinue torelieve thepressure of studieswith the spirited battles on theintramural field

Two brothers and one sistershow that Athletics become a family tradition

TT xcelling insports is afamilytradi*-' tionforLee, BobandKaren Guetterman,and they've brought thattradition to LBC.

Lee,theoldest ofthefamily of two brothers and three sisters, isa senior atLBC and hasbeen thebackbone of the baseball team's starting pitchers. As a 6-8,220-pound southpaw, Lee had amassed a career record of19-8 going into the1981season.

Lee and Bob began playing teeleague baseball when they were six Both recall their beginnings with a smile.

"When I firststartedI wasterrible," Lee said "I started inthe outfieldand couldn't catch a ball tosave my life."

Because ofhislargeframe atage10, Lee naturally settled into the pitching position and became the team's star pitcher asan 11-year-old

Bob and Lee also began playing football when they were 8 and 10 respectively Lee's football career was short lived

"Lee didn't like the way the uniform fit," Bob said, "so he didn't play."

While Lee committed his time to baseball, Bob excelled in baseball, basketball andfootball It became evident that Bob's size and speed best suited him for football

Bob played on thefirststring squad through high school He began asan offensive tackle before fillingthe dual roleoflinebacker ondefense and tight end on offense.

Bob,at6-3,205pounds,isajunior at LBC.He has been adependable performer attightendforthe Flamesand was voted the most improved player on the 1979 squad Bob averaged almost 17 yards per reception during the 1980 season.

While BobandLee were inthe high school limelight,Karen was busydeveloping her own athletic abilities

"I enjoyed watching my brothers play,"Karen said, "andI wanted todo something like them Dad got me started playing softball when Iwas eight."

While on a weekend visit to her brothers at LBC,Karen worked out with thegirl's softball team andwas

immediately offered a scholarship by Coach Barb Dearing.

Karen arrived at LBC in January 1981 and according to coaches—and of course her father and brothers— she is one of the bright freshman prospects.

Arthur Guetterman, the father of theGuetterman tradition, was himself an athlete at Tennessee Temple Schools His wife, Ruth Guetterman, was named Most Valuable Player on the women's basketball team during her senior year atTennessee Temple

Competition was always good-natured in the Guetterman family,and even now family tiesproduce faithful support

"My respect for Lee is intensified because he'sasuccess incollege," Bob said

"You won't find anybody yelling any louder at a football game," Lee said.

"I scream and holler for both of them," Karen said

AD resigns to "go home

" T he resignation ofTerry Don Phil•*• lips,Liberty's athletic director, to take theposition of assistant athletic director at Missiouri University was announced Feb 25, 1981

The news came asa surprise to Liberty Baptist students and supporters of theathletic program.

"My resignation isnot due to any conflict with the college," Phillips said "Iam simply going home."

Phillips, who played college football for Arkansas, came to LBC in June 1980.

"My firstgoal was tostructurethe athletic program tomeet with NCA A approval," Phillips said "However I was skeptical about gaining membership before 1982."

Phillipsandtheathletic department had a number of obstacles to overcome butthey succeeded.

"We hadtoaskfor waivers oncertaineligibilityrequirements," Phillips said. "They didn't have togrant them, but they did."

Phillips was only at LBC for 11 months, but said he will continue to support theathletic program

"Iplan togive my support andhelp LBC inany way Ican in the future," Phillips said in his last LBC chapel service.

According toPhillips, LBC's athletic future isvery bright

"I feel we're a year ahead ofschedulein acceptance into Division II," he said. "I'm justglad I could have apart in it." -Tracy

Minister asthe Men of Armour

Me n ofArmour Ministries includes two thrusts, inreach and outreach, which are designed toenable athletes toreach fullpotential inallaspects of life.

The men of Armour share their faith through such ministries as: prayer teams,evangelism teams,rally teams, weight-lifting teams, Men of Armour high school clubs,local ministry teams, and follow-up teams

Each ministry isan effective aid in the personal, spiritualandathletic development ofthe athlete

"Men of Armour Ministries has met my problem ofmeeting people," said junior football player Jimmy Rowe. "I'vehad the opportunity to leadyoung people totheLord through weight-lifting demonstrations in high schools."

To most of the athletes involved, handing out tractsandpresentingthe gospel was a new experience and proved tobeamajor turning pointin their lives

Van Dalton, junior footballtrainer, said, "I had never come face-to-face with telling people about Christ until I went toTennessee on a rally trip I learned toenjoy passing out tracts and telling people about God."

Senior wrestler, Jesse Castro said, "Athletically, you have to stay in shape tocome out on top.That holds trueinyour spiritual lifeaswell Peo-

pie look up toathletes for the answer We have thatanswer andshould share itwith everyone."

Men ofArmour ministries not only helps todevelop personal and spiritualgrowth butprovides a ministryfor the athlete tocontinue after hegraduates.

Rusty Radcliff, who heads up the specialeducation ministry said, "Men of Armour hasexpanded my burden for the handicapped children who aren'tas lucky enough tobe involved insports.It's become astepping stone to my own ministry in the future."

"The realityof thisministry proved theimportance ofGodandshows unity at our school as athletes," Mark Swift, ajunior basketball player, said.

"The resultsofthe Men of Armour ministries are showing up everywhere," coordinator Dave Anderson said. People know that there isa Liberty Baptist College and they realize we arereal people on fire for God."

The marching band, called the "Spirit of the Mountain," performed at each home footballgame aswellas for parades and other civic activities.

Sound s sacrifice for ministry

Friday isthe dayeveryone looks forward toatLBC A big date, a chance tocatch upon homework, or a time of much-needed rest arejust a few reasons why students hold their breath until class is finally over on Friday and theweekend can begin A girl isinherroom getting ready for thebigdate shehasbeen looking forward to for weeks.Suddenly,there isa knock atthedoor.

"Donna, it'sMr Randlett on the phone."

A guy has just settled down to finish a term paper that isdueon Monday There is aknock athisdoor, also "Greg, it's Mr. Randlett on the phone."

Those words hold special significance toa member of theSounds of Liberty A call from thedirectorusuallymeans thatplanswillhave tobe put aside again

"When youdecide to become apart

of something liketheSounds,there is is apricetopay,"said David Randlett, director of theteam

Partofthatprice is giving up weekends, attending daily rehearsals and making exhausting road trips that combine tomake lifeasastudent particularly chaotic

"More than just music—more than justministry," Randlett said, "are the words that describe thepurpose ofa team with the Sounds' musical and ministering capabilities."

On a typical weekend, the team members conduct two or three church services, which involve ministeringto children and adults with diverse needs

"In order tostay fresh we vary our music," Randlett said,"andwe try to keep inmind thatthepeople to whom we minister are usually hearing it for the first time."

According to Randlett, the Sounds

are tenofLBC's best musicians, who could also be youth majors,andwho also have a heart for soulwinning. These qualities are necessary for weekend trips that might find them on visitation with a host church or in a mall performing a concert.

"We trytodevelop inasingera real heartbeat for ministry through music," Randlett said. "We believe our students arestronger inthe Lordand in their personal lives and ministries when they leave."

Because oftheirschedules, thesingers arealso encouraged tomaintaina high grade point average and to become actively involved at LBC when they arenoton theroad.

The Sounds ofLiberty is theprincipal singing group forchurch services atTRBC. TheSounds alsohaveotherministries including ILA rallies, weekend trips to otherchurchesand performances for civic groups.

"When a student joins theteam, it becomes his orher number one priority," Randlett said.

He explained thatmost people don't realize the amount of hard work involved. Ittakes a week to learn one song well, not to mention the practice in preparing for other areas ofministry theteam uses on a road trip

"Most collegemusic programs have missed the direct ministry portion," he said. "We want theSounds of Liberty to be a warmhearted group of competent musicians that areactively trying towin others toChrist."

"I Love America" rallies have become just another aspect of the Sounds' many ministries during the year.

Contrary to what many students think, Randlett says the ralliesareexciting to someone who does them once ortwice Butmost ofthe singers would much rather perform for civic

clubs or inchurches

A pastor's wife in southern Ohio stood on the bus when the Sounds were preparing to leave andtold them that the church had been going through problems and the Sounds' ministering had been needed for a long time

For that reason, Randlett said, "If there is no ministry, we are wating our time."

The hectic schedule and hard work are an integral part ofa ministry like the Sounds ofLiberty.

"The singers may not realize the real valueoftheirexperiences withthe group rightnow," Randlett said "The exciting part will beto look back five years from now

They were part of a ministry that 3,000 other students never could take partin,"hesaid. "Then they willreally know itwas worthwhile."

ILA team completes rally schedule

The I Love America team completed their tour ofthenation's 50state capitals during the1980-81 year.

Rallies were held in over 20 states and many spectators were moved by the patriotism displayed.

The ILA team consisted ofthe LBC Singers, the Sounds of Liberty and other LBC students who sang onlyat these rallies The team also utilized a variety oftechnical people

The rallies were held both inthe fall and inthe spring.Inthe fall, the team

traveled to the North and Midwest and in the spring they toured the western United States

One highlight ofthe year wasa trip to Hawaii to perform an ILA rally there

Each rally included patriotic music by the ILA team, Don Norman and Robbie Hiner The singing wasalways followed by a message to the state'scitizensfrom Dr JerryFalwell •

Set-up before a rally requires a lot of timeand carefulplanning. Here, male team members assist in setting up sound equipment.

Th e LBC Singers sang for hun1 dreds of Americans and ventured to Isreal during their year of ministry The team represented the college to the thousands who have never been to Lynchburg.

In their sixth year asa representativeof LBC,the 12-member team also completed the"ILove America" rally schedule.

The team began the year of travel with themulti-media presentation of "America, You're TooYoung to Die."

According to one team member, crowds were often stirred toa renewed sense ofpatriotism after viewing the two-hour presentation.

On April 1 a new multimedia program featuring the Singers premiered at TRBC. Called "Look Up America," the program again stressed "positive patriotism inaChristian perspective" through the use ofslidesdepictingthe historical trends ofa growing America

The "public relations" team also

traveled toIsraelwith the annual tour hosted by Dr Jerry Falwell and Don Norman

"The trip made the Bible come alive," one team member said. "Now I can visualize theplaces I read aboutin the Bible."

At theendofthe team's year,which goes from July to May, they journeyed toHawaii forthefinalILA rally alongwith theSounds ofLiberty, Don Norman, Robbie Hiner and theother ILA singers The overseas trip left a lasting impression on several team members.

As theSingers finished their year, their representation also lefta lasting impression in the minds of those whose only picture ofLBC waspainted bythesmiling patrioticyoung people of theLBC singers.

Witnessing ismain objective

•^umerous LBCstudents ministered topeople intheUnited Statesduring the school year and to people in foreign countries during thesummer.

These LBC students were involved inSMITE,amissions program that is an outreach of LBC and the Thomas Road Baptist Church

During thefirstsemester, therewas onlyoneSMITE team, adecrease from the nine teams that represented LBC in 1979-80.

This team concentrated on the needs ofNorth America by traveling on weekends todifferent churches in various states. They alsotraveled during the holidays and during spring break

The group's goal was to minister and notto entertain.

"A SMITE team goes into a church with expectancy They use multimediaprojectionsandaseries ofsongs to show members of that church that people around theworld have needs—both physical and spiritual," said Doug Achilles,theteam leader

During thesecond semester of the year, the SMITE ministry was enlarged when another team wasadded. This team's activities during the semester centered around training for their summer trip toBrazil, whilethe originalteam readied themselves for a

trip to Europe during the summer months. Doug Achilles became the team leader for the Brazil team and Bob Luger was appointed head of the European team

Preparing for these summer missions took a lotof hard work onthe part of the individual students Each student was required to raise several hundred dollars of support money. Also, theBrazil team had tolearn its repertoire of songs in English and Portugese while the European team learned its music infivedifferent languages.

Both teams also traveled tocultural areas such asNew York City soteam members could be exposed to the types ofpeople they would be working with during the summer.

Both SMITE teams think in terms of world evangelism And the members of theteams arenotnecessarily allmissions majors.

"Part ofour philosophy istowork within the framework that God has placed a person in,"Achilles said.

"More than 3,500 students have been involved inSMITE since its inception, and no matter what a student'smajor or ultimatevocationwas, the main objective was to witness."

The y play to persuade

^•^he 1980-81 edition ofthe Kings

Players presented three productions at LBC, and also traveled to churches onweekends to present gospel-centered drama

The first of the three productions presented on campus, "Which Way," was an interpretive-type play thatdepicted what life after death wasall about

"Once toDie"was the second inthe series presented by the players It's plot revolved around the variety of personalities aboard a plane flight— both Christians and non-Christians. The plane crashed in the final moments of theplay and those persons who had accepted Christ were called to heaven while therest were leftin total darkness.

"The Robe" told thestory ofa Roman centurion whogained possession of Christ's robe after his crucifixion and howthe robe was instrumentalin his coming to the realization ofhis need forsalvation

Allthreeplays dealtwith the area of one's need to accept Jesus Christ as Savior

"W e visited many , man y churches over the school year and sa w numerous people saved," one actor said "It mad e all the weekend traveling seem worthwhile."

Th e Kings Players consisted of tw o different teams during the 1980-81 year: the A team, directed by Mrs Helen Lloyd, and the B team, under the direction of Mr David Allison

Both teams traveled to churches in the eastern United States o n weekends and toured other areas of the country during vacations.

A n organization aimed at people

A Christian athlete is an athlete that has an extra dynamic, a higher goal, a different motivation—Jesus Christ Athletes at LBC believe that a Christian athlete should seek toexcel with a greater zeal than before he knew Christ They believe that he must learn to do everything with allhismight.

Athletics isaneffectivetoolof communicating the gospel. When a successfulathlete stands to speak,people listen. Many Christian athletes take thisopportunity forawitness of their personal faith This isthepurpose of the Men ofArmour Ministries.

Men ofArmour Ministries is an organization which includes junior and senior athletes and isdesigned to enable the athlete toreach full potential in all aspects of life

Men of Armour coordinator Dave Anderson says the organization emphasizes being a winner

"The winner must have abroad perspective. He must seethewhole picture, thewhole task, inorder tosecure a complete victory," Anderson said. "Whether insportsor indailylife, the winner must have themind ofaservant."

The various outreach ministries of the Men ofArmour include suchactivities as special education teams which meet every Saturday to work with the mentally retarded/handicapped on Treasure Island and a Children's ministry inwhich athletes participate by giving testimo-

Football laid the foundation for A n investment in people

P ootball has proved to be the A foundation for the building of discipline and character in a young missionary's heart

Roy Marshall,asenior from Petersburg, W.Va.,always hadthe incentive toplay footballwhen hewas younger

"My parents finally letme tryout my junior year ofhigh school," Marshallsaid "Imade the team and started theseason. Attheendofthe season I was named all-state linebacker for our school

"My senior year set the pace for sports inmy lifeand Ifound out the realimportance ofbeing physicallyin shape," he said "That year Iwasvoted most valuable player andagainallstatelinebacker while Iserved as captain ofour team.

Being involved insports taught me two things,discipline and how to get respect from my peers," Marshall said "I found out people respected athletes who were honest and Ihad the opportunity of being a spiritual leader to them."

But high school slipped away quickly and Marshall found himself at Liberty Baptist College wondering

what was more important—playing football or serving God?

Having caught the burden tominister tothe Indians from hisfather, who was a Navy lieutenant and traveled the midwest frequently,Marshall saw the Indian society as "proud people who have been discouraged."

"I felt the need to understand the relationship between the white people and theIndians," he said "They're a people who need assurance not only of safety and protection,buta people who need theassurance of God."

Marshall, who also heads up the weightlifting andprison ministriesof Men ofArmour,is theyouth pastor at Longwood Avenue Baptist Church in Bedford He plans toaccept thechallenge ofbuilding a church inPetersburg,W.Va.,tobe themother church beginning a ministry totheIndians

"Investing my lifeinpeople," Marshall said, "is doing the impossible with God incontrol."

Ne w organization born

f\Iod's Gold, an organization of ^""^LBC girls, had a successfulfirst year.

The organization was born in the summer of1980by Ronda Katterheinrich,the executive secretary of SGA and the 1980-81 president of God's Gold

Katterheinrich feltthat there needed to be an organization on campus justforgirls—one thatwould emphasizebeing a godly woman.

God'sGold'sfirst meeting washeld inSeptember 1980 The largestcrowd of the year turned out to hear Mrs. Macel Falwell speak.Mrs.Falwell accepts few speaking engagements and most of the girlspresent atthemeeting had never heard her speakbefore

"I thought itwas very good," one girlwho attended said, "Itwas interesting tolisten tothe woman behind Dr Falwell, especially since he'sbecome such a well-known public figure."

God'sGold alsosponsored aneven-

ing with a panel of LBC males, who answered questions asked by girlsin theaudience

Spring brough a fashion show to which all LBC girlswere invited The show was done with the help of Weathervane, apopularclothingstore in Lynchburg One girl from each dorm modeled clothes in the show The show was abigsuccess, according to the girlswho attended "It was great," said one girl who helped with the show. "Just because we areChristian girlsand dress modestlydoes not mean we have todress unfashionably I thinkmore LBCgirls needto become fashionconsciousand I think this show was a bighelp."

The year ended with a special appearance by Mrs. Cleve McClary. A former Miss South Carolina, Mrs. McClary was thewifeofthe Vietnam war veteran who spoke to LBC students in chapel earlier in the year. Mrs. McClary spoke to the group in April. •

RAs dedicated Themselvesto reaching individual students

he primary goal of every resident assistant istobe sensitive to the need of every individual living inhis orherdorm, and tohelp them attain what God hasinstore for them, according to Director of Resident Housing Gary Aldridge.

Aldridge said that he was pleased with the "unified and balanced program" of the 1980-81 year, hisfirst year ofworking with the RAs.

The RAs were "dedicated toreaching andministering tothe studentsas wellasmaintaining aqualityspiritual lifeoftheir own," Aldridge said

"Inworking with theRAs,"he said, "I can seethegreat pastors,teachers and political leaders of the future."

In a day and agewhen people follow the 'don't make waves' philosophy, Aldridge said that he believes the RAshave learned that oneshould not wait tobe led,buttolead.

Dr. Guillermin and Dean Dobson share thoughts atthe annualRA banquet. The banquet, held in Richmond atthe end ofthe year, was given toshow theRAs how much their hard work was appreciated.

He said that the"desire forGodto use usatLBCwillenable usto accomplish the task ofserving Him laterin life."

LBC places more responsibility on RAs than most schools do which results intheR A notonly being a disciplinariantothe student, but afriend as well

"Being afriend," Aldridge said, "is a balanceofbeing aminister, counselor and true friend."

Aldridge said that he was looking forward totaking theexample of the 1980-81 RAs and seeing the next group be "twice as good."

"Good leadership," Aldridge said, "islikethe Christian life One should never staythe same, but always strive to be moving forward."

Involvement characterizes SGA' s year

Student involvement is the key to developing any successful campus organization, and this involvement was especially evident within theframework oftheStudent Government Association (SGA) throughout the school year

SGA President Eddie Guy said that ifhe could put the accomplishments of SGA for 1980-81 into one word, "that word would be growth." The number ofstudents involved inSGA in 1980-81 more than tripled incontrast toprevious years.

Guy said thisgrowth instudentinvolvement was a major boost infulfilling what he termed was "the purpose of student government."

"The purpose oftheSGA is not to find leaders and place them intokey positions,"Guysaid, "but totakenormal students and develop leadership characteristics intheir lives W e area

people-building organization."

SGA is composed ofthree branches ofgovernment:the executive committee, thehouse ofdelegatesandthestudent senate The executive committee holds five elected student officers which oversee theentire spectrum of SGA. Those officers are:a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary anda treasurer.

The second branch of SGA is the house ofdelegates, which iscomposed of tworepresentatives from everyorganization on campus.

The final branch is known asthe student senate and is composed of three representatives from each dormitory on campus Those representativespositions are inthe areas of student activities, student services,and spiritualaffairs

Guy credited theincreased number ofactivitiesandservices in1980-81to (contintued on page 185)

In the area of student activities, late movies, the Western Jamboree and the Battle oftheDorms were allnew products of the 1980-81 Student Activities Council

"The number of activities performed in 1980-81 has more than doubled the number of anypast administration," said Mark Stewart, vicepresident ofstudent activities "There is always something todoonour campus and Ithink that's important."

Activity highlights included the Christmas and spring banquets,the Miss Liberty pageant and the magic show of Andre Kole Students also attended the concert series, the film festivals,late skates and Mass Mania

On the Spiritual Affairs Council, members of thecouncil aided theresi-

dential assistant in discipleship programs, prayer leaders' meetings and in individual counseling sessions. This council also helped in Biblicalcentered activities like PLUS meetings, chapel services and His Place coffee house.

President Eddie Guy said theSpiritual Affairs Council was "successful at fulfilling thespiritual needs of the student."

The Student Services Council was the adminstrative branch of SGA, headed by Roy Jones, vice president of student services

"Our main objective is to present the needs of students before the school administration sothat together we can find a solution," Jones said. "In 1980-81 there were a number of new services thatwere provided to the LBC student body These services in-

cluded the emergency relief fund, the refrigerator rental program, a typewriting service, adry cleaning service and the jobplacement program."

Student service representatives were also responsible forindividualized tutoring, academic advising and the addition of another telephone in each dorm.

SGA officers felt that,as a whole, their year had been successful

"I feel that SGA has effectively ministered to the needs of students campus-wide," Guy said. W e didn't have a lotof hype or promotion, we simply made it amatter ofprayerand directed allof our efforts toward serving other students."

The nation's largest after only two years

Th e LBC chapter of Young Americans for Freedom was chartered two years ago and has grown into thelargest chapter in the United States

The chapter,which began in 1979, grew from 10 originalmembers to the presenttotal of400 Much interest has been generated by Dr. Jerry Falwell's activities on the political scene with the Moral Majority

Roy Jones,who was active inthe development of the original chapter, led the young organization fornearly eightmonths Joneswas selected to be the executive director of the state chapter YAF chapter.

Upon the departure ofJones,senior Wesley Miller was elected chairman of the LBC group During Miller's term,the LBC chapter members traveled toCharlottsville, Va., tohear Republican Rep PhilipCrane of Illinois Crane's topic was "The Conservative Movement."

After almost four months, Miller was voted out of office by a threefourths majority vote ofconfidence.

Van Dalton, ajunior, was electedas the new chairman.

Under Dalton's administration, fourbuses, sponsored byYAF,carried LBC students toaJanuary 22 "March for Life" rally in Washington, D.C The purpose ofthe 60,000-person rally was to petition Congress forthe Helm's/Dornan Human Life Amendement.

Republican Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina, spoke to the marchers, encouraging continued support for theamendment.

Seven days later,the LBC chapter had an occasion to celebrate—as did the entire United States. The local group sponsored a Freedom Celebration tocelebrate therelease ofthe 52 American hostages.

If theLBCYAFchaptercontinuesto generate interest among students in the country's political activities they will continue tocarry thedesignaton of being thenation's largest chapter.

Today his ultimate goals is quite different. Andhe doesn't think he will reach itforsome time

Roy Jones wants toserve his country in the Congress of the United States. Perhaps someday,even toseek the Presidency

He never hadan interest inpolitics untilhetook apoliticalscience course as an elective three years ago Jones says that theIntroduction to Political Science course,taught by the lateProfessor Paul Cho, whetted hisinterest in government and diplomacy

A political science major andjournalism minor, Jones already has had a good taste of political life. He cam-

paigned actively for President Reagan in three state primaries last fall, and led a group of LBC students who helped in Meldrin Thompson's campaign for governor in New Hampshire.

He has been actively involved inthe development of the Young Americans for Freedom chapter atLBC.TheLBC YAF chapter, chartered only two years ago, hasgrown from 10 members to 400, making it the largest inthe United States.Jones isnow executivedirectorofYAFfortheStateofVirginia.

Jones claims thatmuch ofhisinspiration forhis own vision fora future in politics comes from Dr Jerry Falwell.

"I was sitting ina church service a few yearsago andDr Falwell said that therewere not many whowere willing to stand inthe gap and pay theprice toexertapositive influence inthe politicalarena,"Jones remembers."Idetermined tomyself thatI was goingto do justthat."

Jones knows hewillhave topay his political dues before he ever gets a shot ata national political office

"I hope togetinvolved in helping someone else's campaign after my graduation," he said."Ihave tolearn the political ropes before Icantry for any electiveoffice."

Jones is looking beyond personal advancement as heplans his futurein politics

"Ienjoy knowing that I'm standing up forsomething right,"Jones said. "I believe that the conservative philosophy istrue and right,and Ibelieve one person really can make a difference." n

A hard butgood yearbook

T twasn't easy.

But then no one said itwould be

Putting together a 300-page book with a total budget in excess of $50,000 wasa huge task forall Selah staffers involved

There were many obstacles to be overcome

The firstwasthefact that the 1980 Selah received afirstplacerating from theColumbia Scholastic PressAssociation How could the 1981 staff improve on a book with that kind of rating?

Also tobe considered was thefact that both the editor-in-chief andthe photography editor were new at their jobs andthat the majority ofthestaff had never worked on a college yearbook before

The absence,even from thebeginning, ofaneditor for both theorganizations and seminary sections was also a major difficulty.

Other problems included a lack of student support when it came to dorm

group shots and a shortage of staff help.

But itwasn't all bad

For one thing,the1981staff hada placetohang it's hat. For thefirsttime sincethecollege hadmoved toLiberty Mountain, there was a Selah office Although it wasnot nearly as large as had been anticipated, it wasdefinitely an improvement over past years

The 1981 staffalso enjoyed another year of working with advisor Mr. Tommy Thomason Although hewas always there when thestaff called on him for help,more often than not he leftalmost alldecisions and problems in the hands of the staff itself Through this experience, the staff learned much about the responsibility encountered in the production of a yearbook.

The staff also continued to work with Mr Bob DeVaul,LBC's resident photographer, and the Josten's yearbook company. Both DeVaul and the Josten's representative, Mr George Bailey,were ofmuch help andassis-

tance

To improve on the1980 Selah, the 1981 staffdecided toenlarge the book. So 28 pages were added.

Extra multiples ofprocess and spot color were also added to make the book more attractive.

Also, since 1981 celebrated LBC's tenth anniversary,staff member John Schlesinger designed aspecial custom embossed anniversary cover forthe occasion. A theme centering around the growth ofthe college andit's tenyear anniversary was also developed

In keeping with current yearbook trends, the staffopted for amagazinetype layout using more copy than in previous years The staff also chose a dull-finish paper for the book and redesigned the division pages so that they would not only beattractive, but also useful

So thatindividual staffmembers, as well as other artists, photographers and writers, could receive recognition for their contributions to the book, the staff decided to add bylines and photo credits to allcopy and photographs submitted by students This was done inhopes that more students would become involved inthe production of the book. It also gave the book a more professional appearance

As the year progressed, the work got harder and the staff got smaller And, asalways,thetask of finishing the book fell tothefaithfulfew.

But those few carry with them the satisfaction of doing a job well and persevering 'tillthe end

Itwasn't an easy year Butitwas a goodone

Liberty receives accreditation b y SAC S

For Liberty Baptist College students, striving forexcellence is a way of life.

And the Southern Association of Collegesand Schools, andthe 719 colleges and universities they represent, agreed

In December 1980, they voted to grant regional accreditation to LBC.

SACS accreditation makes LBC the only fundamental, separatist, localchurch affiliated college in the United States with regional accreditation.

Besides academic recognition by other colleges and universities, SACS accreditation has given other benefits to LBC: transfers and credits atany collegeor university inthe nation; acceptance of LBC degrees at graduate schools; and eligibility for gifts,

The visiting team from SACS, which evaluated the college last fall and recommended accreditation,was impressed with the rapid development ofLBC in so short a time.

nation's top colleges and universities.

Many arewell-known in their individual disciplines fortheirresearch or writing

SACS also found evidence ofthe

scholarships and research grants from foundations

SACS accreditation also entitled LBC to full membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association which was granted in early January 1981.

Accreditation is LBC's first step to becoming amajor Christian university-

But itis only thefirststep.

Itisa bridge toother steps toward building the major university system envisioned by the LBC administration

Library workers move theLBC libraryfromthe downtown campus to themountain inorder to fulfill a major requirement setdown by the accreditation team.

According toSACS, Liberty's most impressive asset, however, was itsfaculty The group expressed surprise that LBC could bring together such a qualified faculty in only 10 years of existence.

LBC's faculty of130professors, 35 percent ofwhom have earned doctorates, came from throughout the United States They hold degrees from the

college'scommitment toacademicexcellence in the Chancellor's Scholarship Program, which offers complete tuitionscholarshipstothe valedictorians and salutatorians ofhigh schools throughout thenation

According toDr A P Guillermin, LBC's goal istoproduce champions—men andwomen equipped to make an impact on their world, whether they enter the ministry, business, education, media orotherprofessional fields.

"We think we cando that bestby offering a program featuring academic excellence ina Christian environment," Guillermin said "If it's Christian,itought tobe the best."

-Lori A Davis •

"Accreditation is LBC's first step toward becoming a major Christian university."

"// it's Christian, it ought tohe the best/'

Visits from VIP's were nothing new to Liberty Baptist College, but visits from accreditation teams were another matter

But before accreditation could be considered, an important question had tobeanswered:Would LBC have to alter itsstandards,deviating from itsconvictions?

The Southern Association Agency firmly stated that LBC would notbe required tochange theguidelinesset down in the college charter. A deviation from their charter would be interpreted by SAA as making false claims,seriously jeopardizing the future accreditation of LBC.

Their fears puttorest, LBC administrators continued contact with a division of SAA, theSouthern AssociationofCollegesandSchools as correspondent.

Formal application foraccreditation was made toSACS inthe fallof 1976

The first team, consisting of several professional educators from various parts of the country, visited LBC in March 1977.

Their job was: to examine student records togain aninsight into therate of student achievement; to examine school financial records,making certain of the financial security ofthe college and itsprograms; to examine academic programs, ensuring the availability ofa well-rounded curriculum to all students; to examine the facultyandtogauge theircompetence.

After the date was filed, informed suggestions for improvement were made LBC immediately rose tothe challenge and began to make necessary changes

A fewweeks later, a formal written list of recommendations from SACS arrived atLBC LBC was obligated to respond, making necessary changes or providing detailed reasons why compliance was notpossible

LBC's response was sent toappro-

priatecommittees where, afterafavorable vote,itwassent totheExecutive Committee

Afterfull evaluation, thetotal SACS membership voted toaward LBC twoyear candidate status An extensionof candidate statuswasawarded in 1979

LBC again came under microscope scrutiny inOctober 1980, when asecond accreditation team arrived

The books were opened, and once again student and financial records, academic programs and faculty were examined Recommendations were made, LBC formally responded and SACS committees voted.

LBC wasawarded full accreditation by SACS in December1980

Mrs . Betty Cooper, had no idea three years ago that she would be up toherelbows in inkevery day and enjoy it.

"Ihad no interest inprinting," she said,"butmy husband, Fred, worked in thebusgarage and Iwasoffered a job here."

After three days of training by a sales representative, Mrs.Cooper was on her own.

Her first project was to run 10,000 copies of a bus flier. According to Mrs Cooper, things did not go as planned

The machine jammed and groaned. Lines ofink covered the copy, obliterating thewords

"I had 10 masters wrapped around the rollers and Ididn't know it," she said."Ididn't know what tolookfor at the time."

According to copy center workers,

the office'smost unusual incident occurred when anemployee failed to secure thepaper guards in the collator

"The papers ran through thepress into the collator and out the other side,"they said "Woebeunto anyone who came inthedoor They ended up picking paper outof their teeth."

At its inception, thecopy center had only one press and twoemployees

Three years later, there are three full-time staff members, two workstudy employees, two off-set addressograph machines,acollator, aphotocopy machine, a folder, an electric knife and two electricstaplers

According toMrs.Cooper,theadditional machinery has greatly increased the center's production capacity.

"In the beginning we did 200,000 copies per month," she said. "Wenow average350,000per month but 400,000 was our all-time high."

Christian Service

New programs promote productivity

Unique and action-oriented structure puts the emphasis on classes and practicums

Action-oriented training inalocal church ministry. That's what Dr. JerryFalwellhadinmind when he founded Liberty Baptist College and that's what LBC's Christian Service program is allabout.

The 1980-81 Christian Service program wasdifferent from theprogram students encountered in previous years Thefreshmen and sophomores were taught by Dr Elmer Towns, Dr A PierreGuillermin, andDr C Sumner Wemp in a unique program designed totrain them forentrance into a localchurch ministry This program included four semesters ofclasses and four semesters ofpracticums.

Many students come toLBC unsure of their faith Some students come from homes with unsaved parents,

homes where Christian training was not emphasized or Christian schooling was denied

The newChristian Service program isdesigned toaidthese students along with those students who have had adequate Christian training andleadership. Theprogram promotes theassurance of salvation, teaches sound doctrine and introduces the local church ministry.

These classes have always been taught atLBC, butalmost exclusively to religion majors Now all students entering LBC are exposed to these Christian Service Classes: Introduction to Church Ministries, Christian Life, Christian Ethics, and acoursein philosophy

Dennis Fields, Christian Servicedi-

rector,is pleased with the new program. He believes that a better product is being produced.

"The classes are turning out students who know where God wants them and they are able tochoosethe approapriate practicum," he said Fields and Dave Adams work with the students planning schedules for thosewhohave both classesand practicums.They also maintain publicrelations with other churches,locating and placing pastors,youth directors, and other church workers

According to Fields,LBC's ChristianService program isunique. Many other Christian colleges have written to LBC for information on the program. Students from other Christian colleges have done reports on LBC's program fortheirclasses.

"It's a total program training students in a local church ministry," Fields said "Without its Christian Service program, LBC would bejust another liberal artscollege with a denominational name tag."

The BusMinistry also seized a major role inthe inner city ministry. Six bus routes were formed to transport adultsandchildren toTreasure Island every Sunday.

Each Saturday, teams ofbus workersknocked on doors, visited Sunday School regulars, and recruited new riders

Puppets, crafts, outdoor teaching and stories challenged the imaginations of the children.

Biblestudiesand songs followed by a preaching service drew theinterest of the adults

Bible memorization and intramural sports were also included in theprogram in an effort to reach the inner city's youth.

According to Knutson, there are 60,000 black churches inAmerica and only 400 black pastors inU.S.seminaries today.

Within 10years,400,000 black pastors will be needed.

"For solong the attitudes of church people have been that actors are second-class citizens," hesaid, "But I believe that by doing good,quality drama people will understand itisatool for witnessing."

Garlock finds histeaching postion at LBC very fulfilling

"Seeing my students learn to communicate makes itall worthwhile,"he said "Iwouldn't want to do anything else."

Garlock smiles and leans back in his chair "We have potential Jerry Falwells atthis school. Iwould like to say that oneofthose kids wasin one of my plays—that Imade an important contribution totheirlives."

Garlock, professor ofdrama atLBC, has awide background inacting, but believes that acting isnothisareain the theater.

"I never considered myself as having acting ability,"he said,"butI do have theability to direct."

Garlock has always been fascinated with directing—especially young people—and feelsthis isthe main reason he never took up acting as a professional career

"Seeing young kids whoare scared, unable to communicate and poor in self-discipline with self-control and confidence makes directing very rewarding," he said

For Garlock drama is a "slice of life" and he believes that if a person can become agood actor he canlearn to communicate in every area of life.

"The communication process is 17 percent verbal and83percent is nonverbal,"hesaid, "Ifyou can teach that 83 percent communication you have your basic skills in communicating."

Ridenour's life is changed by fire

For Lynn Ridenhour, second and third degree burns over 65 percent of hisbody were thebest thing that happened to him

Ridenhour, an all-star athlete in high school, made all-state in track and lettered in baseball and basketball

"Sports had been everything,"Ridenhour said "Ithought Ihad lost it all."

Ridenhour wasworking ina newspaper print shop when a panof gasoline overturned, saturating his clothes

Gas seeped to the corner of the room and the hot water heater supplied thespark.

There wasanexplosion and Ridenhour was engulfed in flames For 3

months hefought for hislife, submitting to17skin graft surgeries lasting 7 to8 hours each.

Ridenhour's first glimpse of his charred body sent him into shock

"It was ugly No skin,no muscle," he said, "just coagulated blood and flesh lying on a board. Itdidn't even seem a part of me."

Another surgery was completed Swathed in bandages with holescut so he could see,eatand breathe,Ridenhour laywasting away.

"I lay there too frightened to live and too frightened to die," he said, "but Icried out to God and He met me, in all my loneliness, in all my fears."

Three months later, Ridenhour's body healed and he went home. But the physical and emotional scarsremained

Ridenhour had every intention of returning tothe basketball courtafter his release from the hospital His doc-

tors, however, did not share his confidence.

"They never thought I'd play ball again," Ridenhour said "Iwasdetermined toshow them."

And show them hedid. But theroad back was rocky

"It took allthe strength I hadfor theballtoreach thehoop," Ridenhour said "But Ipracticed I jumped rope I jogged around the gym I lifted weights."

Ridenhour won a basketball scholarship to Memphis State University his senior year in high school.

"I had worked hard," Ridenhour said. "But therewere some things un-

settled And God knew it."

The tragedy had taken itstolland Ridenhour's personality changed. "I became more outgoing," he said. "I was trying tosurvive."

Ridenhour's emotional adjustment to his scar-laden body lasted two years.

The education division listed 750 majors last spring.

Dr. Garth Runion,chairman of the division of education, attributes the popularity of theeducation major to the factthat many students arefamiliar with theeducation process They themselves have studied under many teachers fora number ofyears

"Many of the elementary education majors in particular decide that they would like to teach simply to work with thechildren," Dr. Runion said.

Dr.Runion said thathefeels confident that this large number of education majors will face no problems in finding teaching jobs after graduation. The demand for teachers is great in both private Christian schools and public schools.

"There is a growing shortage in teachers, especially in mathematics, science and English," Dr. Runion said. "The declineinteachersseems to come from the fact that a few years ago there was an over-abundance of teachers, but that is not true anymore."

According toDr Runion, theeducation department received 500requests last year for teachers from schools throughout the world—most of them Christian schools.

"LBC only had 80-85 education graduates," Dr Runion said "There was noway the education department could meet allthose requests.The demand exceeds thesupply."

About 93 percent of LBC's education graduates teach in Christian schools

"The education department trains students with a primary emphasis on Christian schools," Dr Runion said "In aChristian school, the teacher can teach thestudents toseek God'struth In a public school,theteacher could not approach creationism or absolutes because itwould be considered religious pressure."

Dr. Runion said that although LBC's accreditation has significant impact forstudents,it brought about Dr.Garth Runion prepares lecture notes for his next class. Dr.Runion isthechairman of the division of education.

"The LBCstudent'steaching certificate will be more readily accepted though,"hesaid "A teachingposition will be more easily secured, also."

Dr.Runion alsosaidthatwhen LBC isaccredited alittlelonger, the education department will then begin working on a master's program—but that is"several years down the road."

The goals of theeducation department right now, though, areto turn

outstudentswhohave agenuine commitment toJesus Christ as Lord and Savior,and who have a realinternalizationfrom Godtoteach, Dr Runion said "We want students to be wellrounded both spiritually and academically,"he said."We want topreparethem tobe thebestinstrumentof God, asall Christians shouldbe."

Pianist has noteworthy talent

Hi s fingers race back and forth as he attacks the keyboard.His facialmuscles areintenseasheconcentratesonthe music.David Ehrmanis doing what he loves bestand doing it with style.

"Music is a language of the emotions," Ehrman said "Mygoal as a performer is that a person doesn't leaveone ofmyconcertsthesame way he came in I want him tohavehadan experience ofemotional communication."

Ehrman, who performed 15concertslastyear, startedhiscareerat the age of10.

"Iloved music,"hesaid. "Wedidn't have apianoplayerinourchurch, soI began taking lessons so Icould play inchurch.Inninemonths, I wasplaying regularly."

For Ehrman, playing the pianois more than talent: "It's discipline."

"Discipline is a part of meI can't separate from myself," Ehrman said During concertmonths I practice seven hours aday It'shard work andI don't always enjoyit."

Former LBC student fillsfacultyposition

Steve Reitenour isaformer LBC student turned faculty member Reitenour, a 1979 LBCgraduate, earned hisdegree in musiceducation He then attended Radford University, where he earned amaster'sdegree.

Now he is teaching percussion in LBC's Division of Music.

Reitenour's short absence ofa year and ahalf and his new position as a faculty member have caused him the usual problems one might expect.

Many students whoknew Reitenourasaclassmatemust now makethe transition to "Mr Reitenour."

"Ittook a little getting used to, escpeciallyin myrelationshipswithstudents who remembered me,"Reitenour said "Ifaced the adjustment of meeting theneedsofstudentswhoare friends onaprofessionallevel."

But the greatest difficulty lies with the students who don't have Reitenour for a class.

"Those who don't have mein class tend to call me Steve," hesaid. "It's hardforthem toadjustto'Mr. Reitenour.'"

Dave Ehrman studies a musical score between tutoring sessions. Private applied lessons are required for allmusic majorsandminors.

Steve Reitenour discusses a new arrangement witha student before practice. Reitenour does not consider himself a great performer, but saysteaching is his forte.

Ehrman studied under Madam Karen Dayas attheConservatory ofMusic in Cincinnati, learning the Liszt traditionofmusic.He alsoteaches the Liszt mastery of technique and believesthatstudents must learn how to communicate through their music.

Ehrman, a music professor at LBC, enjoys teaching along with performing He said that concerts alone leave him without a personal relationship with people

"Iplay about as much as I wantto," Ehrman said "The schools Iplay in satisfy me enough and Ilike passing on my knowledge ofmusic to others."

Does Ehrman seehimself in adifferent occupation within the next 10 years?

"Musically I don't seemyself doing anything I'm notdoingnow."

He looks content and rightat home as he turns back towards thepiano.

David Ehrman is doing what he lovesbest.

Reitenour has found hisgreatest allies are his former teachers whoare now his colleagues

"They have made me feel like an equal," Reitenour said "That really gave me confidence."

Though he loves a band performance, Reitenour does not consider himself a performer

"I don'tconsider myself agreatperformer,"hesaid "Ienjoy performing, but teaching ismy forte."

Reitenour findshisformer LBC student statusisalsoadvantageous to his teaching

"I understand thefrustrations students face," Reitenour said "I know what it'slike toride thebuses andto walk half a mile to thedorm."

One ofReitenour's favorite aspects of teaching iscounseling students

"I love to discuss students' problems with them," he said. "Part of my profession isrelating to students."

Faculty fancies the unusual in life

Weaver's looks for cancer cure

Dr Terry Weaver's chemistryresearch may someday savelives. Weaver,coordinator ofLBC's biology program, is presently investigating the relationship between nitrosamines and intestinalcancer

Nitrosamines are cancer-causing chemicals formed as a result of the combination of secondary amines with nitrite which iscommonly used as a food preservative redmeats "Bacteria in the human gut produces secondary amines," Weaver said."When combined with the large quantities of nitrite in food, they could potentially cause the formation of nitrosamines inthe intestines."

From missiles toministry

Mik e Stallard, part-time math instructor and full-time seminary student, was a programmer analyst for missile defense systems before coming to LBC

As anemployee of Teledyne-Brown Engineering Co., Stallard was under contract totheUnited States government's Department ofDefense

"Iworked onWeapon System Evaluations, a pilot test program involving a heat-seeking missile," Stallard said.

Stallard alsoworked on atotal missile defense system involving tracking with radarfor the Republic of Korea,aswell asa classified missile defense system used by NATO.

Mike Stallardgrades an exam forhis Math 115 class. Stallard, amath majorin college and now a Liberty Baptist Seminary student, formerly worked on a classified missle defense system for NATO.

As asenior in collegeandmath major, Stallard worked part-time for a group of thermal engineers under contract to NASA.

After graduation inMay 1975, Stallard wasemployed full-time byTeledyne-Brown and planned topursue a master's degree incomputer science But Stallard's life suddenly changed.

"My twin brother,Jim, and Iwere saved the same day,"Stallard said. "We were both called topreach,but I didn't acknowledge my calling right away."

Stallard entered Liberty Baptist Seminary in1976 andgraduated with the 1981 class.

Weaver suggests that a substitute fornitratesbe used asafoodpreservative. In addition, he ispresently researching a method ofinhibitingsecondary amine production

"Many things we eatproduce secondary amines in thebody," Weaver says "Secondary amine production is almost always the result ofabreakB

But science has always been a part of Stallard's life

Stallard, whogrew up inthe hometown of the Marshall Space Flight Center, which developed NASA's Saturn Boosters,was encouraged byhis father

"My father worked on the Apollo Telescope mount which went on Skylab," Stallard said. "He used to take my brother and I to the base to watch the Saturn booster testfirings."

His plans include attending Dallas TheologicalSeminary foranadditional master's degree and a doctorate of theology.

Eventually, Stallard says he wants to start a church as well as a localchurch-oriented seminary.

"Pastors need tobeeducated,"Stallard said, "and fundamentalists are sadly lacking in that area."

Weaver's project began six years ago while he was a professor atCornell University in New York.

"Previous researchers have investigated the formation of nitrosomine compounds in sewage, soil and water,"he said."Ineed science students who are interested in pursuing it— that's when most of the work gets done."

According toWeaver, intestinal career isusually undetected initsearly stages andis, therefore,more dangerous.

The major symptom isblood in the feces,which although hard to detect with the naked eye,iseasily tested for chemically in the laboratory,"hesaid. "In its laterstages, intestinalcancer is accompanied bypain, but then it's too late."

Weaver says that theinhibition of secondary amine production is crucial

"It is a link that could help save lives," he said "Ifwe could discover how todo it,we would have the answer."

"I consider myself to be a creative thinker," Mitchell said."I see myself asuniquely contributing tothought; I think that is my gift to the church."

In his spare time Mitchell relaxes by drawing,creativewriting likepoetry or free verse,and sometimes composing music He said, "I had never had any training so Itook a harmonica and numbered all the notes on it, then wrote music to correspond."

Religion division reshapes its curriculum

¥A7hat could possibly persuade the V V LBC Religion faculty to hold 22 four-hour meetings and consume countless cups of coffee and donuts?

According to Dr. Woodrow Kroll, religion division chairman in 1980, itwas the faculty's desire to design a curriculum that would better prepare pastoral students for the job God has called them to do

A survey was taken in 1980 in which religionmajors and minorsrated every course and every instructor according to how they felt the course helped them in preparing for theirfuture ministries.

Dr. Krollsaid thefacultyalsodetermined what they considered to be a "model preacher."

"We made sure every coursecontributed tomaking the model preacher," he said. "We started over from scratch."

poetry that Ihave to get down before going back to sleep," he said "At times of extreme emotion I feel intensley compelled to write."

Mitchell also explained that a longforgotten talent for drawing has been

re-awakened in the last few years.

"A few years back my wife had gone tovisither mother,leaving me at home alone,"he said."With theextra time Iset out to draw a picture from some old photographs of my fatherin-law who had died some years before.Ishowed the finished product to my mother- in-law,hoping she would see the resemblence and she wept."

Through that experience Mitchell has continued to draw, and feels it to be a fulfilling and a worthwhile form of expression

Mitchell alsofeelsthat theseideals, or creative drives are an asset to the church today

"The church needs organizers and the like," he said, "yet I feel italso needs those individuals, like myself, thatareon the fringe, thatare creative intellectually."

Mitchell feels that his creativityis the reason for his drive toinvestigate theology.

-Dave Palmquist

The resulthas been thatseveral majorand minors have been restructured and combined to form the three majorsnow offered by theReligionDivision

"Ithink thenew pastoralministries program is excellent," said Jim Stevens,another religion professor."The program ismore unified Each department isinter-relatedand thereis more unity between minors."

Paul Kurth, a sophomore pastoral major,also said the new pastoral program is good for those who want to become youth pastors Under the new program students wanting to become youth pastors take the pastoral program and minor in youth.Nine hours of Greek isa new requirement forall pastoral majors "Greek isnot as bad as Ithought itwould be,"Kurth said

Dr. Nevin Alwine isheading up the new educational ministries major offered thisyear in the religion curriculum He said this new major will enablestudents tocarryout adiversified role in a local church ministry

"Educational ministries majors will learntotakecharge ofachurch'stotal Christian education program," Alwine said

He also said that men and women can prepare for seminary and a mas-

ter'sdegree in fieldssuch asChristian day school administration or Christian counseling with what they learn in this major.

"If a man goes through this major before God calls him to preach he could very well fall back on much of what he has learned through theprogram," he added

Dr Alwine feels that an education should enable a person to be wellrounded and have the professional confidence to do anything God calls him to do

-KathyFrey A student finds it necessary tosqueeze in extra study time due to increased curriculum requirements.

"Even when I was a kid I would rather talk about theology than the Boston Red Sox," he said.

Mitchell saysthatintheology heset out toanswer questions people don't take time to explore.

"The only reason I went to Bible college and seminary," he said, "was because Icouldn't stop asking questions."

Since coming to LBC in 1976, Mitchell says hefeelsgratified in that he hashad a hand in cultivating the foundations for Dr. Jerry Falwell's vision for5,000churches.

"LBC provides me with a way to plantmy ideas, knowledge, and experiencesintheminds ofmensetting out to do thework oftheLord," he said, "thus having a hand in bearing fruit in many ministries."

Mitchell isnow coordinator oftheology in the Division of Religion at the college and isa Th.D candidate at Dallas Theological Seminary

-John Schlesinger •

"ItwasJerry Falwell's educationat Baptist Bible College that gave him the confidence and resourcefulnessto do what God called him to do," he said.

Connie Corley, a senior missions major, feels the new cross-cultural ministries major will allow those training forthemission field totake practical and diversified minors that are more practical training for the work they will be doing on the field

"The new minors offered inyouth, children's ministries,and counseling aregreatforanyone preparing togo to the mission field," shesaid

So it seems that the hours of hard work and time put into a new religion curriculum are already paying off Not only willLBCproduce a"model preacher," but will also produce men and women workers who willgo outandperform as thevitaland qualified "second person" in churches across America andaround the world.

Houk and son tourRussia

Dr . J.T. Houk, professor of economics atLBC,skipped summer school to spend 35 days touring Russia with his 16-year-old son,Tick

"Ifeltitwas my responsibility as a parent to teach my son about the world," Houk said "Russia is a very important country with a variety of people,languages and resources.It is also the number one opponent of the United States in the field of economics,politics and philosophy. I wanted to expose him to this."

Dr Houk and his son leftthe United States in June 1980 and flew to Tokyo, Japan, where they boarded a boat that took them to Nakhodka, Russia. Here they began themain part

of their trip by taking the longest train ride in the world—6,135 miles across Russia

Houk said he felt that a train ride would be more beneficial to them than a plane flight

"A train is a way to see the country," he said "We stopped at hundreds of towns along the way and were allowed a few minutes at each one to get out and walk around."

Houk said thathe and hisson were

TVRF boasts new equipment

The basement of the Donald Duck Bottling Company wasthe birthplace of the LBC television, radio,and film department

When it began 10years ago,theradio-communications division was directed by Mark Lloyd. One year later, itwasdivided into theseparate divisions of radio and communications.

The television and radio division has spent the last 10 years updating its equipment

A professional TV editing system, valued atover $25,000,was added in the spring of1980.

Classroom facilities now include five radio control/practice rooms, an announce booth, a TV studio/classroom,amaster controlroom, andediting and storage rooms

A few years ago,the facilties con-

sisted of only one practice/control studio, an announce booth/office, a TV studio/classroom and a control room.

The equipment of WLBU, thestudent-operated radio station,is valued at more than $14,000 Inaddition toothernewequipment, a Quantrum console has been installedenabling quadraphonic recording Thelatest innovative audio techniques are possible with the present equipment

Last year, "Miracle Mountain House" and "Hands ofLiberty" were produced by TVRF seniors for the Lynchburg Cablevision System. Flames football and basketball games were produced by TVRF majors as well.

In October 1980, LBC hosted the National Religion Broadcasters and Intercollegiate Religions Broadcasters joint convention President Reagan was atLBC tospeak tothe more than 300 broadcasters from thesoutheastern portion ofthecountry.

According toDr Carl Windsor, division chairman, the TVRF department has thepotential toproduce prepackaged day school lessons formissionaries with schools, aswell as video taped instruction for special curricula such aswood shop,metal shop, auto repair,and home economics

These video-taped lessons could be used inChristian schools which cannot afford instructors for such programs.

"Iam notlooking atthe department asit presently stands,"Windsor says, "but rather atthefuture ofthisdivision."

1981 classviews expansivegrowth

The y came from allover theUnited States

Many came in 1977,more trickled in during 1978and some even transferred toLBC in 1979 and 1980.

Now they're graduating in1981

Thisclass, more than anyother, has seen the expansive growth occur on Liberty Mountain

When most ofthem arrived in August 1977,there were very few buildings on Libery Mountain. Now there are 25.They have observed theconstructionofthesefacilitiesone by one.

"I'll never forget just how bad I wanted thegym tobe finished,"one graduating senior said "Itwas socold having chapel outside inthebigtent."

Many of the students who arrived in 1977 came toLBC sight-unseen.

"I'llalways remember driving onto the dirt road and reading a sign that said, 'Liberty Baptist College under construction/" one senior rememberd. "That was an understatement."

Even those whoarrived in1978and 1979 remember thatthings weren't always theway they are now

"When I took my first look at where I'dbeen told Iwould beliving, I wanted to turn around and go home," said SueBagley,a graduating senior from Rhode Island. "ButI decided tostick itoutand itturned out to be oneofthegreatest years of my life."

Many 1981 graduates canremember whenthis barn was almostthe only building on Liberty Mountain. A historic landmark, the barn caught fire and burned totheground in minutes duringthesummer of1980.

The class of 1981 feels that living throught thedevelopment years of Liberty Mountain has benefited their personal lives

"When Isawhow the entire school had totrustGod to supply the money needed to build all these facilties, I realizedjusthowlittle faithI hadbeen exercising inmy own life,"explained one senior

Another studentfelt thatthelack of facilitiesavailablewhen hearrivedactually helped him instead of hinderinghim.

"Ilearned tothink ofothers. When you live with three other people and ride buses all day with another hundred peopleyou learnthatyou haveto care forothers'needs," he said.

This class offered much advicefor incoming freshmen

"Be open to what is occuring around you," one departing senior said

"Realize that every experience can be learned from," added another. "These will be some ofthe best years of your life so usethem wisely." •

NFL dream approaches reality

Ro d Gladfelter, an LBC senior, wants to play pro football in the NFL.

An outstanding collegiate athlete who rewrote several sections of the record book as a defensive back and place kicker for Liberty Baptist College, Gladfelter made the Churchman's 1979All-American second team in his junior year He also held the highest consecutive number of points after touchdown by an LBC kicker.

Now he ishoping toland a spot on an NFL roster with the vision of someday becoming an NFL team chaplain, in addition to operating youth camps in the off-season

Gladfelter attended LBC on a footscholarship,stilldesiring to someday play pro football. "I talked to LBC Head Coach Tom Dowling and told

Rod Gladfelter, an outstanding collegiate footballplayer, is now playing semi-pro footballfor the West Virginia Rockets.

him I wanted to play pro ball, and worked on my speed and quickness," he said.

Pro football scouts noticed Gladfelter,who was one of 1,000 men to participate in the1980 open tryoutsin Atlanta for NFL teams.Gladfelter was one of 50 who made the lastcut.

He was soon spotted by the Dallas Cowboys,who wasted no time in testing him.FirstGladfelter ran three lateralmovement backpedal drillsat 2,7, 2.5, and 2.3 seconds

Next, were three backpedal lateral movement drills at 3.1, 2.7, and 2.5 seconds. "My times were half that of everyone else. The coaches thought the clock was broken." Gladfelter said.

In mid-June, Gladfelter received a call from Dallas "Training camp was full and the Cowboys couldn't take me," Gladfelter said

Desiring to be alone, Gladfelter hung up the phone and turned to leave the room His mother grabbed his shoulder.

"What happened?" she said.

"Excuse me,mom, Ihave togo sort things out," Gladfelter said, "There's someone Ihave to talk to."

Gladfelter walked to the football field and knelt on the 50-year line. He reached fora few stray blades ofgrass

and began to pray

"Thank you, Lord, for my healthy body and the ability toplay football," Gladfelter said, "You've given my great opportunities. Thank you for taking me this far But I need an extra dose of patience, Lord Show me your will."

As Gladfelter walked back to the house a supernatural peace filled his heart. "I knew the Lord had something else in mind," he said. "God's will was more important than my own I settledthaton the50-yardline."

A shorttime later, Gladfelter signed a two-year contract with an American

Football Association team, the West Virginia Rockets,on the basis of his performance in Dallas

Gladfelter's pro football experience disqualified him from participating in the LBC Flames 1980 season.

"I really missed playing," Gladfelter said. "But there isjust no turning back."

Rod Gladfelter is asuccess by many men's standards But, according to Gladfelter, "success is not elevation into the pros.Itisbeing in the willof God daily and meeting challenges sent to you by God."

Playing NFL football, becoming an NFL team chaplain and operating offseason youth camps are stilla part of Gladfelter's dreams.

"But if I am to share Christ with anyone," Gladfelter said, "I must be consistent professionally and spiritually Consistency is the measure of greatness."

Gunsallus isa well-rounded athlete She played basketball, softball, volleyball and track in high school, butfinds tennis the most rewarding sport asitallowsfor more individual competition

"In tennis you don't getto a certain ageand have to stop,"she said. "It's an individual sport that allows you toplay till you're 99 if you want."

Tennis demands sixto seven hours ofdaily practice and in high school Gunsallus gotup at5:30 a.m. and practiced before school, then practiced after school and atnight.

Apart from tennis involving hard physical discipline,Gunsallus finds the emotional aspect extremely important.

"Before Iwas saved, Iplayed for myself now Iam playing for God, to give Him theglory,"she explained.

"When you're outon thecourt you have todepend on God," she

An all-around athlete, Gunsallus practices tennis frequently duringtheweek.She has deemed tennis the"most rewarding sport" and one day hopes togopro. said.

She finds herrole asa Christian athlete an asset in witnessing.

"Kids look up toathletes, and sports isa good way towitness," she said,"Youhave togo out and show your opponent that you're good."

As a Christian,Gunsallus believes in maintaining a balance between her sports and herpersonal beliefs.

"Successful women athletes like Billy Jean King areaggressive and play forall it'sworth," shesaid "I believe in being aggressive and paying theprice towin youjust can't sit back. You need to have God asyour motivation."

Gunsallus believes if shehad not become saved and come toLBCshe would have tried playing protennis.

"I think everyone wants to think about going pro,even ifthey have just a bitofability," shesaid, "But God's taught me a lotsinceI became willing togive up tennisif He wanted me to."

Her advice totennis players starting outisto"work hard,be willing tosacrifice forthe game, and go outand win."

She sought adventure

THhe pushups were tough

*• with seven pounds of gear strapped to their backs, so when the drillsergeants looked away they laid on the ground for a moment'srest

There were 400 women on the field that day participating ina new project designed forthis group of Army National Guards. For the firsttime ever,women would be sent to FortJackson, S.C.,to undergo training designed for men

One of the women who took part in this project was Rhonda Hewitt now an LBC senior from Goldsboro, N.C Hewitt graduated from high school in 1976 and decided to do something adventurous.The armed services were accepting women that year and that was hersolution

"To enlist in the Army National Guard was a challenge tome,"she said, "but my goals were to get in and getout."

While she was in, one thing that separated the girls from the women was the eight weeks of basictraining.

They marched six miles a day with their gear and ate rations on

a four-night encampment.

Although it was rough physically,itwas a form of mental stress forsome

Uniforms made the women, along with everyone else, aware that they had enlisted inthe Army National Guard

"We couldn't wear civilian dress for four weeks and had to wear fatigues to church ifwe went," shesaid.

Despite the issue of sexual abuse of women soldiers,Hewitt said that she was not harassed by her drillsergeants or any other men

Perhaps Hewitt was never harassed by men because she was an expert at throwing live grenades and was a sharpshooter with the M-16 rifle She was awarded two medals forher shootingskills.

Hewitt's future plans areto work with women. She.comes from a broken home and feels she can relate to others in the same situation.

"Being in the Army National Guard helped discipline me," she said. "I'm glad Idid it, and I'm proud Imade it through."

Is there a gold rush or not?

A tradition, a sign of status,or a sign ofachievement

Thecollege classring has come down throughthe years as a major facet of a student's education. Yet, in the '80s with the uncertain economy and the rising gold prices, students tend to avoid buying class rings

"I really didn't think about it,"one senior said "Ididn't even buy a high school ring. I thought $50 was too much to spend forjewelry Littledid I know what itwould cost now."

According to the current prices from Josten's, the company which makes LBC's rings,a men's gold college ring which cost $60 in 1971 is now priced at$189.95 Tony Morgan, the Josten's representative, feels that it is definitely the price that is swaying students from buying.

"Basically, the buying is the same as theeconomy," Morgan said."People don't have asmuch disposable income In that respect, sales have dropped."

Although there has been a drop, Morgan feels that thebuying atLBC is still good.

"Where the buying in some schools has gone down 50percent, the buying atLBCis only down about 20 percent Some students look atthering asan investment," he said."Thereal value will be in five toten years

One ofourmain jobs istoget back that feeling ofmeaning into a school ring," he said

The feeling that Morgan talks about seems to be the motivator for every student who did purchase a ring.

Jim Stanley said, "To me, itmeans a sense of accomplishment." Sue Paulson, another graduating senior, felt her ring would be a momento of her college days.

Along with trying todevelop anew feeling about the school ring, Josten's has developed rings from othernonprecious alloys tooffset thecost factor Theyellow lustrium ring sells for $109.95 and the white lustrium for $78.95 This savings is definitely a motivating factor inthe students' attitudes toward buying, according to Morgan

Australians catch vision at LBC

Th e threeAustralian seniors at LBC all have one thing in common a burden toreach their native country with the gospel.

The young men, Rick Bowen, Jeff Jack and Bill Vassilious, say that they caught their vision at LBC

When they arrived in Lynchburg as students, their vision was more limited They justwanted more indepth Bible study to aid them in their personal lives.

But they say that Dr. Jerry Falwell's life and ministry helped to give them an expanded visionfor the ministries they could have when they returned totheir native country.

"The example ofDr.Falwell asa man who loves the Lord and has thefaithtobuild thedifferentministrieshasbeen an education in itself," Bowen said.

The three plan toreturn toAustralia after receiving their education. Andthey know thattheirtask

there will notbe an easy one

"People will be skeptical of us," Jack said."There areno outstanding Christian leaders in Austrailia. There isnovoice the Christiancan turn tofor help."

Bowen, Jack and Vassiliou hope to be that voice They want tobe the forerunners ofa national ministry in Australia

Afterreturning toAustralia, they plan to start a central church in Melbourne Bowen will bethesenior pastor,and Jack and Vassiliou will have a teaching and discipleship ministry insurrounding local churches Their plans eventually include a Christian day school,a youth camp and a Biblecollege.

Freshman goals realized

Jesse Castro is a pioneer inthe Liberty Baptist College wrestling program

After a successful high schoolcareer inSanta Clara, Calif., where Castro finished fourth in thestatefreestyle championship, he was contacted by LBC head wrestling coach Bob Bonheim

"Coach Bonheim was more concerned about me than about my talent," Castro said "He sent me apersonal letter and that impressedme."

Castroarrived in1976 when thecollege was in the midst of a growing athletic program

"I was kind of intimidated by college wrestling," Castro said, "As a freshman I set three goals and then worked hard to accomplish these goals."

Castro's three goals included winning the NCCA A National championship four years ina row, becoming thefirst LBC wrestler tocompile over 100 wins, and becoming an NAIA National champion At the end

.4/fer the long hours on the practicing mat, Jesse Castro reaps whathe sows with a win over his Norfolk StateCollegeopponent. Castro wenton toplace first inhis 142pound category inLBC'sfourth Invitational Meet.

of his final season Castro ranked fourth asanNAIA All-American, was a four-time NCCA A National Champion and had compiled a 101-20-2 record. Ifitsounds like a coincidence, it's not. Castro feels that personal goals were made to be accomplished

"I didn't do itapart from a lot of hard work,"Castro said. "Ibelieve the principle 'whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap' applies not only spiritually butalso physically."

Castro said he was glad forthe opportunities wrestling has opened up tohim.The pioneer cannow bask in therewards of hard work. His future plans may involve joining AthletesinAction andAA U Olympic trials

"When Irun Ilike to think about thefuture,"Debbie said. "Ithink a lot about going home and my goals in life."

With a choice of environments to run in around the Lynchburg area, Debbie finds running trails in the woods most toherliking

Associate program begun

Students who want a collegedegree but don't want to spend four years in college earning their bachelor'sdegree, nowhave anewoption at LBC

Lastspringthecollegestartedaprogram called the associate of artsdegree,which takes two years to complete and gives thestudents a college degree without the normal four-year period ofstudy

The program, directed by Dr Harold Willmington, involves general education courses with a concentration inBible.

Many students who come to LBC are planning to work in a trade and justwant abackground in Bible.Others who plan to go into technical fieldswant aBible background before transferring to another college that gives them their major.

Jim Stevens, religionfacultyadviser for theprogram, recommends itonly forstudents whodon't plan togointo a professional field or who plan on transferring after two years at LBC.

"The chief function ofthe program is a transfer function," Stevens said

"Entering into this program has the same function asa junior college."

Stevens doesn't recommend the program for students interested inreceivingabachelor'sdegree, but forthe student mainly interested in a Bible background with some general education requirements that give a degree.

"We try andget students toconsidertheircareergoalsbeforeapplyingto this program," Stevens said, "and if the student chooses thisplan we hope it will get him interested incontinuting hiseducation forthe entire four years,"

Stevens said many of studentsenter thisprogram because they are unsure ofwhat toexpect inacollegesituation and have noprofessional careergoals, yet stillwant a degree They later decide on a major and transfer intothe regular bachelor's degree program for four years.

"We hope the students who enter this program will possibly continue on From the admissions viewpoint, it gets students into college who would otherwise notcome," Stevens said.

Irvin's goal isto reach primaries

YMhen Igrow up Iwanna be a mailman," said the first small boy.

"Not me! I wanna be a fireman!" said the second fellow.

The third little boy thought for a moment—"When Igrow up I wanna be just like you, Mr. Garry."

To the primary children at Thomas Road Baptist Church, "Mr. Garry" is much more than their pastor. He is their leader,a hero and a friend.

Garry Irvin, a 1978 Christianministries graduate from Liberty Baptist College,isa seminary student studyingeducation atnight and achildren's pastor during the day.

Last April he went on staffat TRBC as the primary pastor, working with children from ages 6 through 8. He plans to stay on after his graduation from the seminary.

His philosophy in working with children is that it is "easier to build children, than to reconstruct adults," and he strives to do this by clearly presenting the gospel and the Bibleat a level that primary children can understand

"In order to take Biblical concepts that are written at an adult level and bring them down towhere a child can understand,I have to'think likeaprimary,'" Irvin said.

"It's important not to use abstract ideas like 'Let Jesus come into your heart'or 'Invite Jesus into your heart' becausechildren tend tothink in literal terms and they get confused," he explained.

Irvin tries to find out at what level of understanding the child is at and

work from what he knows about God and the Bible,rather than from what he doesn't know

Irvin sees the real need in churches today is to have effective, wellplanned children's programs because a child'sbasic personality isformed at theage of5 years He believes that if a child can be influenced and taught correctly about God and Biblical truths atan early age,churches would not have asmany problems with them as teenagers and adults

"Being a children's pastor is very rewarding because I know that I'm helping thesechildren make decisions with eternal value," he said

"I know that I'm planting seed and if I can help a child develop habits that will help him to become a better adult then I've accomplished a great feat," Irvin said

While Irvin is a children's pastor, his ultimate ministry is adults because he believes unless he has the parents of the children he works with following him and supporting him then he won't be able to bring children in or teach them as effectively

"I believe my ministry is a family ministry,"he said, "because my aim is not only to reach the children,but the parents also."

-Carole Smith

Garry Irvin, a Liberty Baptist Seminary student, is also the primary children'spastor at TRBC. Irvin strives to present the Bible on a level primaries can understand.

Althoug h college students lead a somewhat secluded life and are not always abreast of the latest news, the major stories of the year did manage to penetrate the campus

Internationally, the big story involved the freeing of the American hostages in Iran.

Held since Nov. 4,1979,the 52 hostages were finally released by the Iranian militants on Jan 20, 1981

They were transported out of Iran by Algerian intermediaries to Algeria, where they were welcomed by American jets which flew then to the American army base in Weisbaden,West Germany.

Within a week, they were reunited with their families at the United States Military Academy in West Point,N.Y. Nationally, news centered around the election of Ronald Reagan as the nation's 40th president,his administration's plans for revitalizing the sinking U.S.economy, and the attempted assassination on his life by John Hinckley, Jr. Also in the national news were John Young and Robert Crippen,the two astronauts who piloted the U.S space shuttle,Columbia, on itsfirst mission in space.

Locally,the news focused on the new mall Opening in September 1980,River Ridge Mall provided the best shopping facilities in Central Virginia for LBC students

When all stores were finally opened, the mall contained four large department stores and approximately 85 smaller stores

As well as providing students with a place to shop, the mall also was a source of jobs for many.

Three ex-hostages disembark from the plane that carried them to Frankfurt, West Germany, after their release by the Iranian government. The hostages were reunited with their families on American soil within a week.

A Secret Service agent shouts at the crowd outside the Washington Hilton Hotelafter shots were fired at President Reagan. Reagan and three others received gunshot wounds, but all recovered from the incident.

On campus.the big news v the accreditation «©f LBC anci^ LBC's acceptance into the NCAA .

Although both of these events occurred in January, they had such an impact that they continued to be discussed up until the end of the school year.

Conversation also centered around the kick-off of WLBU, LBC's own radio station, the wrestling and baseball teams' exciting post-season play and, of course, the continuing growth and expansion of the collegeitself.

The year was a miniscule representation of the school's entirehistory:itbegan small,asa spark,and then began to grow Itflickered, then glowed andfinally emerged as a fiery blaze.

The college's growth is exem construction thatbegan in ea cvs worked around the clock hiin.il dormitories and ,i new ing for the19m /,,// semeste.
