Student Life

Studen t life, an abstractterm, defying definition, encompassesa wide variety of responsibilities, activities and events Whether it's doing laundry orplayingbasketball with friends,a student's liferuns on a never-endingschedule.

Thisyear, specialthingshappened in the realm of student life A precedent was set when Senator Edward Kennedy addressed the LBC student body as part of adebate.

1983-84 also brought the death of Congressman Larry McDonald, when the Soviet Union shot down a plane enroute to Korea.

Some new advancements were made in the drama department this year Top-notch performances,like "Fiddler on the Roof"and "The Crucible,"gave LBC a new name in the realm of fine arts.

The death of Dr B R Lakin was a saddening experience for everyone in

the Old Time Gospel Hour ministries

Dr Lakin was buried on Liberty Mountain

Of course, one unique eventwasBaptist Fundamentalism '84, which provided all LBC students a trip to Washington. The three-day conference allowed the students to hear President Ronald Reagan,Vice President George Bush and many famous preachers

Student life is generally enjoyable, depending on what the student makes it;but, when the time comes for classes and homework,spiritsseem to become dampened

The actual conception ofstudentlife occurs when the alarm goes off each morning That may be at 5:30 a.m or 10:00a.m., depending on the student's courage. Most often,ifone roommate chooses to wake at an early hour,the others, too, areexposed toanew day — againsttheirwill

Although most students do not prepare a minute-by-minute daily , schedule,the majority of studentsfind a certainorderineveryday.

Many students believe that thebest dating times are at meals or even between classes.Of course,the weekend always provides opportunities for spending time with "the one that's special." '

Weekends are also times to catch up on homework; but,actually,everyone ' usually procrastinates until thefollowing Monday in order tobe freetogo to the lateskate on Friday night or a ball game on Saturdayafternoon.

Kennedy and Kemp mark anL.B.C. first

The Multi-Purpose Center was quickly filled to capacity on the evening of October 3, 1983.

Senator Edward Kennedy (D.Mass.) was the main attraction, eventually drawing a crowd of nearly7,000people

The pressdidnothesitatetotake advantage of this "news-in-themaking," realizing that Liberty BaptistCollege, an institution with

predominantly conservative beliefs, had invited a United States Senator withastrongliberal background

Promptly at 8:00 p.m., Dr Jerry Falwelland theSenator marchedinto the auditorium and onto center stage, followed by a procession of security officers.The audience rose and brokeintoaround ofapplause.

The formalitieswerebrief, and Dr. Falwellapproached themicrophone

"Well, it happens thatthisis aMoral Majority rally," he claimed Falwell chuckled Kennedy responded with laughter

As Kennedy began, he expressed his appreciation forthe attitudesof his audience, commenting, "When Dr Falwellspokeat Harvard last fall, hewashissedandbooed; Iam doubly grateful foryour courtesy here this evening."

Kennedy spoke in favor of religious toleration "We must respect the motives of those who wishtodisagree,"hesaid.

On oneissue, he mentioned, "The opponentsof thenuclearfreezehave no right tobelieve that they are infallible."Kennedy's liberalstand on abortion, ERA, nuclear freeze and censorshipwasevident

Kennedy summarized hispresentation with thefollowing statement: "In short, I hope for an America where neither fundamentalism nor humanism is a dirty word. As the apostle Paul said in the book of Romans, 'Letus live peaceably with allmen.'"

The occasion did not end with Kennedy's speech Political Science majorswere allowed toaskquestions oftheSenator. Thequestionsranged from foreign policy issues to national, political and social issues. Asked if he would run forPresident in the future, Kennedy responded that he would support the Democratic candidate forelectionin 1984andsupport him forre-election in 1988.In themeantime,he would focus all his efforts in the Senate, rather than seek election to the presidency.

(continued from page13)

Scheduling Senator Kennedy, commonly labelled Mr. Liberal and Mr. Democrat, raised many eyebrows and much criticism; however, studentswere provided with a unique opportunity to test theirconservativebeliefs.

Only one month later,Congressman JackKemp (R.-N.Y.), attheotherend of the political spectrum, arrived to conclude the series. Kemp received a copy of Kennedy's speech,and his purpose wastorespond

When the Congressman approached the platform, he glanced at an auditorium not nearly as fullas ithad been for Kennedy, nor was the press coverage as thorough; but the crowd was now to hear the politician whose religious and political beliefs were more closelyalignedwiththeirown.

The theme of Kemp's message was embodied in his rhetorical question: "How can you beaChristianand beinvolved in politics?" He then answered, "How canyoubeaChristianand notbe involved inpolitics?"Kemp continued, "Ifwe'regoing to combine religionand politics, it should beas an expressionof ourfaithand notalackofit."

One situation which seemed to bother Kemp was the recent court ruling which took away the freedom of posting the Ten Commandments on public school property The Congressman quipped, "Schools cannot hang the Ten Commandments on their walls; yet the Ten Commandments

hang intheSupreme Court, apparently to no ill."

Since the students knew that the Congressman was aligned with them on the major issues, they turned to economic concernsduring thequestion and answer session. Kemp's prescription for the economy included flattax rates, a balanced budget, and implementation of the gold standard In addition, Kemp felt that tuition tax credits should be provided to parents whose childrenattendprivate schools

In order fordebates tobesuccessful, two individualsmust disagree. Verylittle agreement existed between Kennedy and Kemp While Kennedy preached religious tolerance, Kemp contended that religious activism was the true answer. Concerning the basic issues, the men seemed tobe violently opposed. Kennedy strongly supports abortion and a nuclear freeze; Kemp believesthatthese issuesshould be the targetofattackforChristians

Kemp expressed the spiritof the entire debate with this statement: "We must become more politically inclusive, and notexclusive."

Analyzing the debate, one student said,"Although Kennedy isan inspiring speaker, his methods and beliefs should not be practiced by Christians."

Another student said, "If every controversial issue in life, political or otherwise,was debated atLiberty Baptist College,I think thatstudentscould confirm more oftheirbeliefs."

Senator JesseHelms (R.-N.C.) mourns the death of his long-time friend, Congressman Larry McDonald, ata memorial service in Constitution Hall.

Friends mourn death of Congressman Larry McDonald: 'This time we will not forget'

Senator Jesse Helms arrived in Anchorage, Alaska with several minutes to spare before the next flight departed forSeoul, Korea Rather than waste the time, he decided to meet some people. The Senator boldlyapproached afamily, especially because of two little girls who reminded him of his ow n grandchildren.

It was not long before the children had won his heart.They smiledand laughed ashe bounced them on his knee over and over again. Thegirls were overjoyed with their new acquaintance and responded, "More, more; do itagain!"

The Senator wasthrilled with the brief time hewas able to spend with thelittle girls, butsoon Flight007 was called, and allwere to board The children waved good-bye,gave their friendakiss, and boarded theplane.

Across theairport theSenatornoticed hisfriend and colleague, Congressman Larry McDonald Although the Congressman wasscampering to board hisflight— 007 toKorea — the Senator met his friend for a brief word.

Their destination was the same; however,foranunknown reason the Senator missed his flightand did not departuntilseveralhours later.

As the Boeing 747 climbed into the sky toward itsdestination, no one realized thatit would neverreturn.

National newspapers illustrated the

fact that the plane was in flightfor several hours when itwas approached by eight SU-15 fighter planes of the SovietUnion

The fighterplanes showed no mercy and were ordered by theKremlin to open fire.Ittook only onemissile for the Soviet Union tocommit one ofthe most barbarous actsofthecentury. The commercial airplanewas struckdirectly and plunged 32,800feetintoagrave of waterintheSeaofJapan.

Congressman McDonald, just 48 years old,hadrecently been elected to hisfifthterm when Flight007was shot down by Russian fighterplanes.

The Congressman claimed to be a believerinJesusChristand was known in Congress forhis opposition to the Soviet Union. His viewpoints were

evidenced by his active voice and position as Chairman of the John Birch Society.

Congressman C Montgomery claimed,"Itisrather strange that the Soviet Union would shoot down an airliner with Representative McDonald aboard because he has been one of the strongest andmost persistent critics of theSovietsinCongress."

Ironically, Congressman McDonald was flying toKorea toreceivean award for his active involvement in antiCommunistefforts

With news that her husband had been brutally murdered bytheSoviets, Kathryn McDonald and her family were deeply bereaved Dr JerryFalwell invited Mrs McDonald toaddressthe Thomas Road BaptistChurch inaword oftestimony.In memoriam tothe Congressman, the Conservative Caucus sponsored a service which was dedicated totheMcDonald family

Nearly 4000 people,dignitaries and the public,filled Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C for the memorial ceremony. Among the distinguished group of individuals were the Liberty BaptistCollege Chamber Choir and the Sounds ofLiberty, who were personallyinvitedby Mrs.McDonald tosingfor thememorialservice.

The servicebegan promptly at2 p.m but did not close until nearly three hours later. A group of soldiers, representing each branch of the military, marched down thecenteraisle carrying the flags of Korea and the United States The "Star-Spangled Banner" was sung and the pledge to the American flagwasrecited.

Howard Phillips, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, approached the platform and claimed,"No member of Congressdid more toreveal... the terror of the Soviet Union." Bombastic speaking moved the audience to applause, especially when Phillips proclaimed, "We mustdiscontinueall dealings with the Soviet Union; coexistence with Communism is impossible."

Once the audience had quieted, Phillips raised his voice and shouted, "Mr President, it is not vengeance which we seek,but simple justice and godly retribution. We will remember Larry McDonald; we will not forget!"

Among the most well-received speakers was Dr. Jerry Falwell. His voiceechoed throughout the hallashe declared, "These days have helped to galvanize the national opinion thatthe barbaric stateof Communism does not regard humanlife."

Falwell proceeded to develop his theme by likening the Soviet Union to the Philistines of the Old Testament; Larry McDonald he compared to Samson "Like Samson, some of us are reaching for the pillars which uphold theentirestructure," hesaid

"At a time during the 60's and 70's when everyone gave up hope, Larry McDonald searched forthe pillars; and on August 31,1983, he found them and brought the house down upon the Philistinesofourhour."

Falwell believed that Congressman McDonald truly accomplished more through his death thanduring his life.

After his brief presentation, Falwell turned toMrs Kathryn McDonald and

dedicatedthesucceeding threesongsof theLBC singinggroupstoher: "ForAll theSaints," "JoyWillCome intheMorning," and "America the Beautiful."

One speaker quoted Congressman McDonald's favorite saying: "If you don'tstand forsomething, you will fall foranything."The meeting closed with "God BlessAmerica."

As the people ushered out of the auditorium, they observed huge banners above the main floorsaround the entireauditorium.The banners carried a single phrase,one which dominated the spirit of the entire incident:"This timewe willnotforget!"

Gold on the mountain: Miss Liberty 1983-84

ot only was being crowned Miss Liberty "an honor" for Laurie Lee Bartrum, it has given her an opportunity to contribute to the school "I loveso dearly."

Laurie means "Laurel," a crown of -leavesusedasasymbol ofvictory Her life versefrom theBibleisI John 5:4 "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even ourfaith."

Laurie wasborn inSt.Louis on May 16, 1958 and nicknamed "Mouse" because shewas theyoungest ofthree children and the only daughter She began balletlessonswhen shewasfour and danced at Summer MusicalTheater from agenineuntil 18

"I was farbetter in the ballet than anything else," she said. "Dance was where my heartwas.",

Though she enjoyed other activities during high school — likeice-skating, basketball, football, sewing, musicals and plays — she occupied her time with intensive ballet instruction and graduated 23rdinherclass of611.

At age 17,she moved to California after graduating from high school ThereshemetsomeChristians

"I toldthem I wasaChristianbecause I really believed I was. I had always been a church-goer," she said Her friends never questioned herrelationship with theLord because shealways lived a Christian lifestyle,but uncertainty about herfuture prompted what shecallsa"crisisperiod."

Two years later, she was asked to move toNew York toactin thesoapopera "Another World." She believes that God worked through this opportunity, because it waswhen shewas in New York that she started attending Manhattan Bible Church Her pastor, Tom Mahairas,hosted the LBC inner-

cityteam thatsummer

'It was through the testimonies of team members that I became so impressedwith LBC,"Lauriesays.

In 1980she arrived on campus She had been outofhigh school fouryears and wasapprehensive aboutacademics. She knew she wanted to be a writer She had always enjoyed writing and was ready todiscipline herself tosucceed. In her freshman year at LBC, Lauriesays, Dr SuhailHanna,aformer English professor,influenced her and helped her tounderstand that"Christians need to desireexcellence."

She believes it was then that she began to understand what she calls "practicalChristianity."

She says, "Anything thatman does in an excellentway isareflectionofGod's perfection."

In herjunior year shebegan toshed her "legalistic views." She began to tolerate people she thought were haughty, namely Greg, who became herhusband onMay5,1984.

"I believe God brought us together because we were at similar points of growth in our walks with Him. We sharedawonderfulfellowship."

As Miss Liberty, Laurie has participated in many programs offered to studentsatLBC. Oneof these, SMITE, a studentmissions singing team tookher to Europe, South America and Africa

forministry.

Laurie graduated from LBC's winter term, 1983 She holds a bachelorof science degree inEnglish and plans to develop writing skillssoshecan write devotionals. Since that time, she has been an active writer for the "Faith Partners"program.

She feels her immediate goal is to prepare forbeing aresponsible pastor's wife

Twenty years from now,shehopes she and her husband will have ministry in acityon theEastCoast She perceives herself asa full-timemother and wife and hopes tobebringing her oldest child to LBC for College for a Weekend

Lauriesaysthe lastyear-and-a-halfat LBC, she has learned with her fiance the significance of three words: compassion, commitment,and patience

"Together they focusonlove Loveis vain without commitment," she says. "Without commitment thereis nothing because words become vain and becometalk."

She usesJeremiah 29:13to encourage otherstosearch forGod:"God'sloveis sointimateandpersonalwitheveryone ofHis creatures. Knowing that, thereis nothing more precious we can do for others than to send them on a search fortheLord."

Durin g the nights of October 6-8 and 13-15 the LBC drama department,under the direction of Roger Miler, turned itsclock back to the Gay Nineties and presented "Dirty Work at the Crossroads."

ThisGay Ninetiesmelodrama tells in a laughable style the "tear-jerking" story of Nellie Lovelace (Rosalee Rodda, a junior from Corona del Mar, Calif.), the country girl; her only love, hero Adam Oakhart (Vic Mignogna, a junior from Ocean City, Md.), the blacksmith's son;and their confrontation with the viper, Munroe Murgatroyd (Daniel Morano, a freshman from Bronx, N.Y.).

Although the reappearance of the viper's wife, Ida Rhinegold (Sallie Scruggs, a freshman from Baltimore, Md.), surprises Munroe (he had committed her to an asylum), it does not stop him from pursuing the innocent Nellie

Dirty Wor k at the Crossroad!

He leads her away from her dying mother's arms, the widow Lovelace (Kathy Jordan, a junior from Lynchburg, Va.), whom he had secretly poisoned.

It does not stop him from driving Adam todrinkand convincing him that he murdered Ida Rhinegold. His quest also includes blackmailing the rich Mrs. Upson Asterbilt(Karen Anderson, a senior from Hixson, Tenn.) and bewitching her daughter Leonie (Christina Wingfield,a freshman from High Point, N.C.).

This vivid and action-filled drama has several encounters between Adam (the hero) and Munroe (the villain) Adam is sent to jail for the alleged murder of Ida, leaving Nellie to Munroe'smercy

For a typical melodrama where life alwaysendsattherailroad tracks, "Dirty Work" isno different.Munroe,seeing thatthereis no otherway of attaining Nellie's love, is forced to rid

himself ofherinnocent heroAdam. He tiesAdam to the infamous train tracks toawaithis doom.

As all typicalmelodramas end, Adam (the hero) is saved. He then saves Nellie. His old friend Sheriff Mookie Maggugins (Michael Manosky,a senioi from Lynchburg, Va.)and thealleged murdered Ida Rhinegold-Murgatroyd show up at the perfect time tountie Adam beforethetraincomes

Thus, concluding the story,Ada: and Nellie livehappily ever after wil their little Nell (Jackie Stevens, freshman from Altoona, Pa.).Thi villain is destroyed by the infamous train.

Throughout the play there are a number of places in the plot where old-time songs were introduced to si the mood of the Gay Nineties A liil piano player (Eddie Sproles,a forma studentfrom Tennessee) addedautherf ticityand enjoyable satire.

behind.

Tradition... Like a Fiddler o n the Roof

Drama director Stephen Wedan believes that drama is anything but frivolous.

He chose "Fiddler on the Roof"asan LBC play because of the "large emotional impact" ithason its audience.

"Tevye talks to God throughout the play until the Jews are told toleave," he said "As the play ends,he motions thefiddler— who standsforhappiness tocome with him and then hesmiles at God."

Wedan believes theatre can be a powerful medium for Christians to express and interpret their spiritual philosophy But he knows it takes work

Auditions for "Fiddler" lasted up to four hours on two nights asnearly 100

studentstriedoutforparts

Wedan said he was looking for "directability" inthosehechose

"I think it'simperative that an actor or actress keep his ego in range," he said.

His cast performed the play on the nights ofFebruary 16-18, 20-21 and2325. Virtually every performance was sold out "Fiddler" is an old-fashioned play about Russian peasants before the revolution who must face the changes brought by the 20th century They experience the breakdown of tradition prior to World War Iand the persecutionof the Jews

The story centers around a Jewish family that sees tradition as the basis

for everything When one daughter marries for love rather than according to her class, a chain of reactionbegins Another daughter marries without Tevye'sblessingand he feels disgraced Wedan chose "Fiddler" because he saw in Tevye a character who matures in hisrelationshipswith man and with God.

Tevye and Golda,played by cousins Bob Emerson, aseniorfrom Lynchburg, and Gail Emerson, a sophomore from Glassboro, N.J., proved to everyone that, despite theirown traditionally arranged marriage, love does conquerall even in the breaking of their most valued possession, tradition inherited from many generations past

set the scene for Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible'

Sale m Village, Mass., was not the place tobe in 1692 That yearthe infamous Salem witch trials took place

The Liberty Baptist College Drama Department captured themood and setting ofthisgrim moment in history inits production of Arthur C. Miller's play, "The Crucible."

The play told thestory of John Proctor, portrayed by Vic Mignogna, a junior from Ocean City, Maryland, a Salem Village farmer who fought the establishment to have his wife acquitted of the charge of witchcraft

"I'm the only one who ever argued for my side,"Mignogna said

History books note that agroup of young girls in Salem Village began falsely accusing upright citizens of being witches.The town judge wasled to believe the lies; 90 to 100people were jailedand13 were hanged.

Mignogna stated, "People were just taken, and they were gone Nobody hadany idea when they would beaccused."

Dwight Bain,agraduate from Lynchburg, played the character of Samuel Parris, a pastorand Proctor'snemesis

"Proctor was the leader of the farmers, and I was the leader of the rich," Bain revealed "Itwas abig scam."

Parris was brought to Salem Village by the Putnam family,the most influential and power-hungry clan in town

"The Putnams were the ring-leaders of the girls," Bain said "Those accused lost their land Only thepoor families were accused, notany rich."

A puppet of the Putnams, Parris was caught up in the trials when one ofhis daughters joined theaccusers To save face and keep the Putnams happy, Parris squared offwith the outspoken Proctor

The climax of the play occurred when Proctor himselfwas accused ofwitchcraft

Both Mignogna andBain viewed the play not only as entertainment but also as an educational experience

"There is no better drama," Mignogna declared, "than that which teaches as well asentertains."

"It brought me to a realization that the pastdoes have black moments," Bain said

The two-act play was presented on a three-sided stage, which dramatists call a "thrust" stage The props are basic and the play reliedonits dramatic power tocarryit

Dave Allison was the director, and Sharon Wheeler designed the costumes as her thesis for a master's degree in costume design.

Man y name s are given to the Infinite stairway

One hundred twenty-five steps. That'sall ittook toknock the wind out ofme. Fifty-seven straightdown and 68 straight up.

Ravine /ru-'ven/ n: a small narrow steep-sided valley that islarger than a gully and smaller than a canyon — but nottoomuch smallerthana canyon.

Those that try to paint a pretty picture ofthe ravine claim thatit's simply a nature trail and that one should ignore allof the stairswhile soaking up thebeauty of God's creation

I suppose that's why the track team can be seen running up and down the stairs during its daily seasonal practices Iguess that'swhy the ravine was considered for the 1984 Winter Olympics as thesite ofthedownhillslalom

Is there really a bottom? Many students have not even dared totrekto the ravine's depths for fear of being engulfed by a swamp creature Infact, one early morning my roommate vanished in the foggy bottom of that ravine My prayerswere answered

Well, I am one of the courageous ones thatcan testify that there isabottom to the ravine, at least on sunny days Getting there safely is the problem Fractured limbs and sprained ankles are called "Ravine's Revenge"

oncampus

What is even more entertaining is "Too many stairs," said one student as hepondered his memories ofthe ravine. Todd Tuttle captured the spirit of this statement in his artwork.

observing the young ladies getting their heels wedged between the railroad ties. I think the boards were engineered insuch afashion purposely to create the "maiden in distress" image, a clever technique to get the men to rescue the ladies, thereby encouraginganew romance.

Weather conditions are much differentinthe ravine. A beautiful, sunny day in the real world can mean flashfloods in the ravine A drastic reduction in temperature can also be noted atthebottom

Although short sleeve shirts may be suitable before entering the ravine,a heavy coatand scarf might benecessary at thebottom

However, the ravine is the quickest link between the dorms and the classrooms;more importantly,itisthe fastestroutetothedininghall

One must consider days ofold when the ravine was simply a giant mud slide Then, torn britches and redstained clothes were the typical outfit ofthose who attempted torun through it, jumping the creek at the bottom withoutdrowning

At least ravine conditions have improved over the years Only one question remains:Why didn't they build a swinging bridge?

Dr. Falwell and friends

mourn the death of B. R. Lakin, the 'Good and faithful servant'

On June 5, 1901, a baby was born to Richard and Mary Elizabeth Lakin in a farmhouse on Big Hurricane Creek in the hill country of Wayne County, West Virginia. When Mrs. Lakin first felt life within her, she sought the Lord, asking Him to give her "a preacher boy." She dedicated little Bascom Ray to the Lord beforehe was born Her prayerswere sweet totheearsofGod,and He blessed her with one of the outstanding preachers of this century.

B R Lakin knew God intimately He preachedwith aspecial anointing from God For 65 years he "crisscrossed America back and forthlikeacountry boy working acorn row," preaching to countless multitudes, seeing thousands of lives transformed by thepowerofJesus Christ.

When asked how many were convertedto Christ under his ministry, his quick reply was, "Oh,Idon't know." Some say 100,000 isa conservative figure.Only eternity will reveal the number of men who were called into the ministry under Lakin's preaching andinfluence

Reviewing his life of preaching, Lakin said, "I have never knowingly done anything tobring areproach orstainon the name oftheChristI loveand who savedme I'd rather die than live outside the will of God."

He did not know the meaning ofretirement When 76 years old,he was holding meetings every night.He had a deep conviction thatGod called him topreach for as long as he had strength In his lateryears B.R suffered from diabetes and heart problems, but he maintained a full schedule until 1982

Lakin was known for his great compassion and love for people His constant prayer was, "God lay the weight of the world upon me. Give me a love for every soul for whom Jesus died. Help me preach asadying man todying men with a broken heartandtears."

God abundantly blessed his ministry because he walked humbly before God and men. From the pulpits of some of the greatestchurches inAmerica he declared, "I never expected tobe any more than acountrypreacher That'swhat I am tonight."

During hislife many thingschanged His means of transportation changed from mules and buggies to automobiles and jet airplanes,and his meeting places changed from tents to tabernacles One thing

LBC photo

never changed In this land or around the world his onesimple message was: "Man is a sinner;Christ a Savior There isa heaven to gain and a hell toshun. Life isshortand eternity is long Prepare tomeet your God."

Lakin wasborn andreared inthe country in acommunity called Big Hurricane Creek His firstyears of formal education were in a one-room country school on Queen's Creek, farback inthe hillsof West Virginia In the fourth grade hewent toatwo-room school.

When he was 17years old,Bascom Lakin stayed in a little log shanty in thehead of the hollow and worked a timber job In February 1918he became illand had togo home His mother told him of the revival they were having inherlittlechurch at the forks of the creek The preacher was J C Simpkins, the nephew of the legendary "Devil Anse" Hatfield, leader of theinfamous Hatfield-McCoy feud Thelastnight of the revival, February 12,1918, Bascom went to the meeting That night Simpkins preached on, "When I See the Blood." When he finished, Bascom knelt ata little pine mourner's bench and trusted Christ. Lakin frequently described that moment, saying, "As Iknelt,Jesus walked down the

aisle with a crown on Hishead and a cross on His back and said, 'What can I do for you?' And I answered, 'Do for me that which Icannot do for myself Ifyou'll save me, you'll never hear the last of it.' M y mother's face shone like an angel's that night; and, as I walked out of the church building, the stars looked like they had been washed with all the purity of God's holiness I walked outof there andI've been telling the story ever since, going around bragging onJesus."

Dr Lakin remained true tohis word The trail started at the head of Greenbriar Creek in that little church where he was saved, and itled him all over the world God loved Bascom Ray when he was a barefooted boyusing amule toplow around a rocky hillside in the mountains of West Virginia.Many days as heplowed he would look up to God and say, "Someday, I'll amount tosomething." God looked beyond the mule and the double-shovel plow, beyond the coal-oil lights and the potbellied stove, saw him preaching to thousands of people around the world.God knew He was preparing him for what he (continued onpage42)

Referring to his funeral, Dr. B. R. Lakin specifically instructed Dr ferry Falwell to "do it up big" whenhe died. Dr. Falwell "followed every order."

Dr. Lakin was laid to rest on Liberty Mountain near theprayer chapel. His life testimony prompted Dr. Falwell to namethe LBCSchool of Religion after him.

(continued from page 41) would become after being transformed by Hisgrace.

A week after he was saved, Bascom preached his first sermon. His first pastorate was Evangel Baptist Church located in the heart of the little settlement known as Greenbriar Creek. He traveled to that church over the mountainby muleand waspaid$7a month.

In those early days Dr. Lakin pastored

and helped build churches in many states

In Bristol, Virginia, in just 19 months Sunday schoolattendancegrew from 101to700, and a Sunday night audience from 17 to overflowcrowds thatrequired loudspeakers inthebasement

Dr Lakin traveled in a van untilhislegs got so numb he was unable to tolerate riding allday long.However, this was no excuse for him to quit.He cried out tothe Lord allnight,"God,if I'm going togo on, I've got to do something." God answered Dr.Lakin'sprayers. Jerry Falwell felt ledto

ask God's people tohelp the Lakinspar chase a motor home. People allover i United States responded. This allowed Dr. and Mrs. Lakintotraveltogether.

The consuming desire of Lakin's Me was to see revival break out across this nation. He asked God to let him see a revivallike hesaw 50yearsago.He knew revival does not come without paying| price. He paid the price for 64 yea| "WhatwillittakeforAmerica toreturn God?" he asked brokenly. "I remen the recession after World War I.

Student Life - B R Lakin

[millionpeople stood inbreadlines And yet America did not turn to God. Then there was a period of prosperity. Everything we pouched turned to gold — and stillwe did iaot acknowledge God. Now I believe the /ialsofGod's wrath are fastfilling up, and rle will pour them out upon thisnation and Others in a rapidity that will startle. I relieve the only thing that will stay the ^tand ofjudgment is a return toGod and an ^Id-fashioned, genuine, Holy Ghost, limbf.traightening, heaven-opening, Devildrivingrevival."

With aburdened heart fullof compassion fora lostworld, Dr.Lakin continued in his goal to be a good and faithful servant. The happiest moments of his life were those when he saw men and women walking down aisles, with tears streaming down their faces,asking, "What must Ido to be saved?"

One night Dr Lakin and his grandson were driving allnight toget toanothercity and another meeting Young Ronnie asked, "Poppop, why do you keep going Uke this day afterday,night afternight?"Dr Lakin replied,"It would be hard for you to understand; but when Idie and you stand beside my grave,Iwill not care about a granite stone or a monument ofmarble. Iwould likeyou and others tobe able tosay,'Dr. Lakin neverleft a fortune, but he leftbehind alife that was bigand richand ripe, and blessed humanity A quarterofamillionsouls have taken hishand and been pointed towardJesus'."

Dr Lakin said, "If you want to know what God looks like, what His power is: Look at the flowers — you see His wisdom Look at the stars — you see His glory Look at the ocean you see His power But look at Calvary and you see His heart Ifyou want to know Him, come to Calvary When you see Jesus dying on that cross,you seetheheartofGod."

Dr Lakin preached his firstrevival at the Tabor's Creek Baptist Church There a young lady named Violet Crabtree was saved Dr Lakin baptized her in the creek and later married her She is the only sweetheart, the only girl he ever had He credited Mrs Lakin asbeing the mainstay and never-failing support of his life Her jobwas not easy Keeping up with the energetic evangelist included constant travel and correspondence Their grandson, Ronnie, finally took over her real estate business to allow "Mommy Bob," as B.R. affectionately called her, more time for tending to herhusband'sneeds.

Dr. Lakin pastored the Cadle Tabernacle in Indianapolis, Indiana, for 14 years, two years as associate pastor. There he preached to crowds of over 10,000 and was on the first coast-tocoast daily religious broadcast in America,entitled "The Nation'sFamilyPrayer Period."

Certainly a "trademark" of Dr. B. R. Lakin was his humor and wit. Proverbs 17:22 says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Lakin's jovial spirit and optimistic attitude made him avery pleasantperson tobe around. He made everyone comfortableinhispresence.

This testimony isespecially meaningful because Lakin knew much sor-

row, disappointment, and loneliness in his life. His health had been tried. At one time he was inthe hospital for 18days following a heart attack Once he was rushed to a hospital in Ashland, Kentucky, where he was declared dead by several doctors The next day the paper carried hisobituary But God was notthrough with him!

Dr and Mrs Lakin had only one son, Bill He had abrilliantmind He graduated from Greenbriar Military School and then served in the Navy On March 27,1955,when Dr Lakin was preaching a great revival in Akron, Ohio, his pastor called him at one o'clockinthemorning He related thetragic news that Bill had been killed in an automobile accident; hewas31

When Mrs Lakin heard about her son's death,she said,"I'llhave two tobury." Dr Lakin would accept no offerstobe drivento Fort Gay, West Virginia,where Mrs. Lakin met him with Bill's body.He drove the long distance alone,getting things settled in his mind. When he met Mrs. Lakin, she said, "How can we go on? I'llnever be reconciled."To thisDr.Lakin replied,"Oh,yes, we must and can.For 35 years I've told people, 'God's grace is sufficient'. If it isn't sufficient for you and me now, I've not been honest in preaching to others." He never asked God the reason why Billdied because he knew that "someday He'll make itplain, and untilthen I'll justwatch and wait."

Dr. Lakin believed thatnew power comes from crushing experiences,thatarose must be bruised before you get perfume from it. Dr. Lakin said,"From the night Ireceived the message that Billwas in an automobile accident and itwas fatal — from that hour until this— I've had abroken and crushed heart I thank God for all of it." Sorrow made the Lakins draw closer toJesus With great anticipation B R looked toward the day hewould bewith Bill forever

Dr Lakin often joked about hiseducation even though he had studied at Moody and had received two honorary doctoral degrees This saintofGod lived in the holy ofholies, immersing himselfin thestudy of God's Word His wisdom far exceeded any found in doctoral degrees or prestigious universities

A mentor of Jerry Falwell, B R Lakin talked with theyounger pastor on a regular basis, giving adviceand guidance

After his first heart attack, the peppery old saint would say, "If I can make it through March,I'll make itthrough another year."On March 15,1984, he died

Often Dr Lakin said that he would sometimes get so close to heaven he could "kinda tiptoeand lookover."

He was not afraid ofdeath and said, "No matter what may be the means or method that hour comes to me, ifyou read or hear the news that Ihave died,don'tyou believe it That day will be Graduation Day, and I willhavejustbegun to live."

'W e have the right to change this country because we are citizens!' — Francis Schaeffer

Francis and Franky Schaeffer premiere 'The Great Evangelical Disaster'

Producer Franky Schaeffer chose Liberty BaptistCollege, March 2,asthe setting forthe premiere showing of his new film, "The Great Evangelical Disaster." Itwas one of the lastpublic appearances freedom champion Francis Schaeffer would make.He died May 15 after alongbattle withcancer

The original plan had been that following the LBC showing,father and son would embark on a tour ofcollege campusesacross thecountry.

Franky presented the film in the March 2showing Labeling it"too close to reality for comfort," he voiced his hope that the television generation would understand the film in a way that would awaken itto the reality of modern man'sgodless condition

Produced in the satirical style of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and "Saturday Night Live," the film portrayed the stark image of today's aggressive secular world and itsattempt to silencethefaint cryof the church

Schaeffer used animation to createa comical, yet revealing, stage for such subplots as the "Terminal Hospital" where abortion, infanticide and euthanasiawere thegeneral practice

A take-off of the "Phil Donahue Show" presented producer Norman Lear, feminist Gloria Steinem and philosophers Joseph Fletcher and Dr FrancisSchaefferas panelists. Thethree dismissed Dr. Schaeffer and hisbelief

in the Judeo-Christian ethic as being eccentricandridiculous.

A lecture titled, "How to be a Jellyfish," emphasized Schaeffer's concept of the church's "terminal naivete" that ignores the world's condition and hopes that "all this willsimply goaway."

Schaeffer presents the silent evangelical church as an expert on "how to watch a culture collapse around us and call another conferenceto talkaboutit."

He elaborated on the world's economy by declaring the Marxist dialectica"tired, worn idea"that has failed

"If socialism is the way of the cross, then Christ wants to create poor people," Schaeffer said

Attacking abortion, Schaeffer called for"challenge and change" in a society that too easily accepts mass murder

"No issue more separates the sheep from the goats than this one," he said

The Christian basis for "challenge and change" is the same basis on which every American voices his opinion, Frankystated

"We have the right tochange this country becausewe are citizens!"

He encouraged Christians to educate themselves on today's vital issues and to stand unashamed, establishing their own activist agenda

He concluded with an exhortation to the young people of thisgeneration to do "radical" deeds for the causeofChrist.

"Don't throw bombs or shoot a gun Ifyou want tobe really radical, have aChristian family Our worldis so evil that this is supremely radical."

Deanna DanielsPfau

'If you wont to be really radical, have a Christian family.'

Dr. Francis Schaeffer and his son Franky prepared to answer questions after the premiereshowing of their new film, "The Great Evangelical Disaster."

The SAG A experience

T h e SAGA sign read: Chinchilla burgers, gumbo soup and drop cookies. Of course, being awise and experienced freshman, I knew that a Chinchilla was really a small rodent, gumbo was simply a substitute term for leftover,and the cookies had trulybeen dropped

Oh, how I missed my Mom! The thought of not having home-cooked mealsbegan tomake me wonder ifI wouldsuffer from malnutrition

Then I stepped intoSAGA forthefirst time, weighing nearly 190 lbs.The food was reallyedible, and theall-you-can-eat serving styleeasilyboosted my weight by 15lbs intwoshort months

Breads,noodles,and starchy items Ichose didn't help the waistline Unlimited amounts of dessertsand too many trips tothe soda fountain were not very conducive toa clearcomplexion ButI learned

The Chinchilla burger wasn't too bad afterall.The strong tasteofChinchilla was easily covered up by a little salt. Well, atleastthat'swhat I thought before Ibegan toapply the salt

When Iturned the saltshaker over,the lid came offand my burger was buried Needless tosay, Idrank a lotofsoda that day

However,thanks toSAGA's all-you-can-eatbuffet, I simply got another burger. But, when I got up from my seat, I dragged my new tie through my food (Ithink the table was toonigh) What amess!

Isoon became acquainted with aSAGA worker Histales of food preparation began tofrighten me Of course,Iknew he was only teasing — orwas he?

He told me that everything was used by the cooks Trimmings,leftovers, and scrapswere consumed in thelarge potsofsoup,he assured me.Iasked him how the food could taste sogood when prepared by such an impersonaltouch.

I'll never forgetmy first sundae bar — and chilibar — and vegetable bar or the day when by some unforeseen stroke of luck the item Icraved was fresh out So Iwaited likea good customer until the SAGA worker came to the rescue with a fresh supply of that favorite ingredient By thattime, thelinehad doubled around theback ofthe cafeteria

In two semesters of SAGA subsistence, I have carefully observed my fellow cafeteria professionals.No one seems to be starving to death That must explain why the line for secondsis sometimes longer thanthelinefor firsts

Weekends prove to be Th e highlight of the wee k

Friday already!?!? Do youknow what that rteans? It's the weekend — yes, the weekend!!

Let's take Joe Student, a typical LBC reshman (or sophomore, or junior, or enior ...) What does he do on the /eekend?

6:30 am.: Rise and shine! (Rise, atleast ihine? Well ) Joe turns on the campus adio station and hears a bubbly announcer nattering brightly, "Happy Friday to ya!" ••Joedresses, grabs hisbooks, andheads for AGA Still incoherent — eyelids half-shut - he stumbles into line Looking up,he eesthebottom ofthe menu sign — "TGIF," ft reads i "Oh,no,"hegroans.He hasyet tosurvive full day of classes Will they ever end? he onders.

8 a.m.:Eyelidsareslamming shut /hat a class to have at 8 o'clock Only 15 toreminuteszzz . . .

10:20:"Well,chapel wasgood." Joelooks t hiswatch for the 126th time Only five ours and 40 minutes until the weekend egins.

12:20: Lunchtime! Joe can see 4 o'clock

just around thecorner.After a typical meal at SAGA, Joestops by theticket window to pick up Late Skate tickets Then he hurries on tohisnext class

3:10: Yeehaw!!! Almost here! Joe madly dashes from class and charges back tothe dorm A bystander exclaims in his wake, "What was that?"

Another student comments, "AnLBCversion ofFriday afternoon."

So — now what does Joe do?Ourtypical student has a great variety of activitiesto choose from,starting with dinner at SAGA, including the weekly sundae bar. Joejust might head fortheEagle's Nest,a new activityoncampus this year

Each Friday and Saturday night,students gather in TE 101-102 There they find that the classroom they satinjust hours earlier has been transformed into a fun place of relaxation and entertainment Checkerclothed tables replace the academic desks, table games replace textbooks, and live entertainment replaceslecturingprofessors

The student response has been quite positive One freshman girldecided it was a good place to meet her future husband,

while a junior fellow claimed he liked the candlelight The general response usually was, "It isagood place torelax, ithasgood music,andit hasgood food."

Senior John Pyle called ita way tounwind after a hard week of "liberal politicians." His friend Brian Overcast agreed, but said,"If this place had A& W Root beer, it would bethe greatestplace in the world."

Student Body President Bob Emerson is pleased with the way the Eagle's Nest has become such a popular social gathering He alsocommented onthenewandincreasing opportunities for different and less well-known talenttoperform.

Overall, Eagle's Nest has become anattractivefeature inthe typicalLBC weekend. But what else can Joe do? Well, right around 10 p.m.,he heads for the Science Hall parking lotwhere he boards thebus for Late Skate On the average Friday night, approximately 200 to 250 people gather at Skateland, although some busy weekends have attracted up to 400 and more skaters Upbeat contemporary Christian music brings theskating rink tolife asparticipants

enjoy two hours of exercising, socializing, and lots oflaughing It's agreatchance for a guy to ask that favorite girl for a skate, or even vice versa.

Well now, if Joe isn't in the mood for skating, he can always go toLate Bowl For those who prefer a more laid-back atmosphere,thisis still another chance toget togetherwith friendsand yetbe challenged by an easy sport

Late Bowl usually begins around midnight and proves to be entertaining inits

own way. Imagine — hittingthreestrikes in a row (it's called "turkey"), and only because some poor weary student doesn't have the energy to throw the ball So he dropsit— and strikes "in."

What about Susie Student? She has allof the same options for a fun-filled weekend thatJoe has, although she may consider her time away from classesavaluable chanceto exercise,sleep or catch up on classassignments Friday, perhaps, could be designated "freeforall" night! Without thepressureof early curfew and classesthe next day, Susie can spend a few hours jogging, washing clothesor reading.

Well, Susie is excited when Saturdaj arrives

"Tonight is the night,"she remembersthe "man of her dreams"has asked hertoa concert!The best contemporary and Gospel music artists grace the platform in the) Sacred Concert Series every year,andthis yearis noexception

Weekends can be the best of times or> campus. With dozens ofways to participati or tobe entertained,tomeet new people or to just getaway from itall, Joeand Susiejust cannotgo wrong.

So, setyour watch because Friday — this weekend — isalmost here.

Looking up, he sees the bottom of the men u sign — TGIF' it reads.

Students find that dor m life is

Different from home

Four per room can be crowded, especially ifeach individual brings allof his belongings

Although there is nothing quite like home, the dormitory encompasses much of a student's life,making it his "home away from home."

Besides sleeping in his room, the student often works on homework or simply "goofs around." Hall meetings, prayer groups, and other activities are also centered around the dormitory

When Joe Student firstarrives on campus, he glances into his empty room. Apart from furniture, it's totallybare.

However, minor repairs usually solve thatproblem

The men from Dorm 6, room 4, decided they would construct a wall made of "pop cans." Comprised of 473 cans of many varieties, the wall cost nearly $175 Of course,since they drank pop anyway, the students didn't particularly miss the cash

"As Iwas putting the lastcan inplace, I accidently knocked down half of the wall,"recallsPhilBaker, afreshman from Ontario, Canada "My roommates nearly killed me."

One of the other roommates, Chuck

Perry (a sophomore from Naperville, 111.) said,"The cans may draw ants, but at least they're colorful."

Creativity was the key to enhancing one's room When someone sarcastically asked him if he thought his room was creative, Jason Stark (a freshman from West Memphis, Ark.) defined creativity as "being able to liveinalivable room withno regard for tidiness."

The ideasfor"spicing up aroom"were endless In one room 23 posters,21pictures,and four bumper stickers couldbe counted on the walls Occupantsof (continued onpage60)

Regular chapel speakers provide Varietyandinspiration

One source of spiritual enrichment and blessing for the students is the variety of speakers that preach in the students' chapel.

September 5,6,and 7 were setaside for the Fall student revival with Tom

Mahairas, pastor of Manhattan Bible Church in inner-city New York

Besides speaking in chapel on Monday and Wednesday, Mahairas spoke Monday and Tuesday evenings in voluntary services, and Wednesday nightatthe

Thomas Road BaptistChurch

The next guest to speak to the students on September 9 was Rich Devos, founder of the multi-million dollar Amway corporation Devos shared with the audience the advantages of a capitalistic system, stating that Communism is"the equalsharing ofpoverty."

On January 25, the students were privileged to hear the founder ofthe Word of Life youth organization, Jack Wyrtzen Several hundred LBC studentsarealumni oftheWord ofLife Bible Institute

The following Friday, January 27, Word of Life's Colonel Jack McGuckin came to address the students McGuckin has the distinct honor of having served in Pappy Boyington'i "Black Sheep Squadron" in thePhilip pinesduring World War II. Histales of escaping death in the cockpit ofan overturned bomber captivated theen tire audience

The Winter Revival brought LBC graduate, George Sweet back to the campus for three days of spiritual renewal and commitment. Sweet preached Sunday through Wednesday nights along with the Monday and Wednesday chapels. His messages included the topic of relationship to God, to fellow Christians, and toa lost world

Dr. Charles Billington, pastor of Akron Baptist Temple for 35 years, spoke to the students on Friday, February 3 Dr Billington preachedon "Our Heavenly Father." His father, Dallas F Billington, founded Akron Baptist Temple after being calledto preach under the ministry of the late Dr.B.R. Lakin.

Spiritual blessing for students comes from the speakers wh o preach in chapel.

A trip to Washington

Faith can move mountains — and socan Jerry Falwell At least that's what the local paperseemed tothink.

The daywasApril 11,and anticipationhad been mounting At approximately 7:30 a.m., students began theprocess ofgetting onone of150busesheaded forWashington

While some students found themselves riding the regular canary yellow shuttle school buses, others won the privilege of riding incharteredcoaches.

At 8a.m., the caravan slowly pulled off the mountain and itsthree-mile length "snaked" to the capital city of Washington, D.C Students resorted tosleeping,studying,playing games, orjusttalking topassaway the four hourtrip

Around noon, startled D.C pedestrians began to turn their heads in wonder at the unusual procession. Within an hour, the Washington Convention Center swarmed with studentsandfaculty alike The move had been completed

The next question was: "What do we do next?"asthestudentsfacedasix-hourwaituntil thefirstsession Exhibitbooths, dinnertime, choir practice, and even some early sightseeing helped toalleviate boredom until 7p.m. when Dr Wendell Zimmerman brought the

key-noteaddress.

Around 10 p.m., the students traced their steps back to the bus lines to head for hot showers andbeds Most were unaware of the long wait instore Unprepared hotelstaffsdid not have rooms ready Thelastofthe students wasn't finally tucked away in hisroom until3 a.m.

Although most of the students were required toleavethehotelsby6a.m thefollowing morning,afew hoursgracewas granted to those who hadtowait foraroom the evening before

Sightseeing became an added attractionthe next two days, asorganized tours gave firsttime and veteran visitors a chance tosee the various monuments and buildings that characterizeWashington,D.C

The cafeteria was a different experience, since students were given meal tickets tobe redeemed inone ofthe 8-10 linesrun by Convention Center servers The regular seating areawas supplemented byanadditionalthousand seatsbehind theauditoriumbleachers.

Friday afternoon and evening were highlighted by speeches by President Ronald Reagan andVice President George Bush During Friday night's session, Dr Jerry Falwell presented twoawards tothe "Fundamentalist

of the Century." One was received bythe widow of the lateDr John R Riceandoneby Dr B R Lakin's widow Dr Falwell'sfinal ad-j dress emphasized the Christian'sresponsibilitytohiscountry.

Following the final prayer, thesystematic! process of reloading the buses to Liberty! Mountain began as students waited in the[ cafeteria

By 4 a.m., April 14,itwasover BF 84 was! history; memories ofsleeping inhallways,get-I ting lost in throngs of people, and riding through thedark streets of D.C. in crowded coaches began tofade But atleastsome of the memories will be retained by students fori years tocome as they took part in"historyin) themaking." _ Daw n Smoo t

Nearly 3000 students, preachers, and church members packed the choir loft in the Convention to provide amajority ofthe music.

Startled D.C. pedestrians began to turn their heads in wonder .

Hundreds of boxed luncheswere prepared by SAGA to feed the students on the road. Many lingering students tried to secure some ofthe lunchesbefore they boarded the buses. Allwere eventually fed.

With 150 buses inline, many students couldnot find the one they were to board. Once aboard, transported and dropped off at a Washington, D.C. hotel, they found accommodations not necessarily ready. Some students waited till 3 a.m. for rooms. Hotel staffs apologized withfruit and flowers.

Sightseeing was a favorite event of the week.

Onward and upward. Athletics at Liberty continued its climb up the NCAA divisional ladder The step up brought tougher competition, bigger challenges and, ultimately, greater satisfaction when the Flames were victorious

Volleyball,soccer,men's crosscountry, men's basketball and wrestling all rose from NAIA or NCAA DivisionIII competition to NCAA Division II.All emerged with winning seasons with the men's crosscountry runners bringing home the school's highest finish ever in national NCAA competition —

atenth-placeranking inthecountry. Soccer and volleyball enjoyed their bestseason, while men's basketball ran up itsthird straight winning season, a first forLBC's cagers.

The baseball Flames stepped up to even higher heights. After three straight fifth-place finishes in the NAIA national tournament and a record of 40 wins last year,the team moved up to compete at the NCAA Division I level Although the Flames played their toughest schedule ever, Coach Al Worthington led them to another in a long string of winning

records In so doing,they brought LBC a step closer toits goal ofcompetingat DivisionI inall sports.

After a tremendous season lastyear, LBC's football squad ran intoinjuries, penalties and ever better opponents. The result was a losing season,but a young team grew and developed in anticipationofnextyear.

Outstanding individual efforts in track and field rounded out a highly successful year for LBC teams in men's and women's sports All signs pointto evenbetterperformancesnextyear.

Soccer tea mflirtswit h national

Several years of hard work and preparation paid a dividend for Coach Bill Bell and the Flames' 1984 soccer team LBC,in itsfirstyear ofcompetition in the NCAA Division II, flirted with national rankings allseason long and ended the season with a 12-4-1 record.

The Flames opened their season in Charlotte, N.C by winning the Northside Invitational tournament It was their first tournament title ever LBC defeated Tennessee Temple in the finals, 2-1,on goals by freshmen Marshall Worthingtonand Tommy Wait.

Liberty pushed its record to 5-0-1 before it lost its first match, 2-1, to Longwood College on the Flames' homefield

Highlightsforthe Flames during the season were their victories over Division I state schools Virginia Commonwealth (1-0)and Richmond (2-1).

These victories were very similar to many of the Flames'matches — close, low-scoring defensive struggles Seven of LBC's 12 victories were by a single goal.

The key tomost oftheFlames' defensiveefforts wastheplayoftheir keeper, Paul Annan He anchored one of the best defenses in the region, had five shut-outs and 147 saves. His goalsagainst average of 1-1 set a new LBC record Coach BelllabeledPaul, "oneof the top collegiate goal keepers in America today."Annan was alsovoted the team's Most Inspirational performer

Freshman Tommy Wait played brilliantly for Bell and the Flames He was twiceselectedastheNAIA District 26 Player of the Week and led the Flames inscoring with 12goalsand 24 points.Eight of Wait's goals proved to be game winners. Wait's performance earned him theFlames'Most Improved Playeraward.

N o 'bunch of sissies,' soccer tea m hits har<

Spectators notice the goals, savesand all thegreatplaysin a soccer match, but rarely perceive the tension and pressure on the competing athletes themselves.

That tension includes aggression, and Coach Bell emphasizes aggressive soccer.His 1983 squad was known for its hustling,hard-tackling styleofplay

Never was this more apparent than in a match we played against a private collegeinTennessee.

From the opening whistle, both teams traded bone-crunching tackles with an aggressive spiritthatlasted the full90 minutes Four ejections(two for each team) and several yellow cards later,we emerged with a hard-fought 3-1victory

Most who had watched, including the referee, seemed shocked that a "Christian team" like LBC had played with such aggression. The official, a graduate from a sister college, even confronted Flames' captain Gary Cramer and expressed his disappointment at the "poor testimony" of Liberty'steam

Cramer simply responded thatChristians do not have to lie down and let the opposition walk allover them "In fact," he added, "Christians should play that much harder and be that much more aggressive."

The official walked away speechless. After Coach Bell shared his testimony with the Tennessee players, six said they received the Lord Jesus ChristastheirSavior.

Ifthe Flames had offended the fans or the official, they gained the respect of their opponents with their hardhitting style of play. The Tennessee team had seen Christian soccer players who were not"abunch ofsissies."

Rather, they saw Christians W M played aggressively towin withoutbe ing intimidated.

Long after the fans and thereferej have forgotten that game, the Terf nessee players will remember a Christian team thatfought hard andhustled forafull 90minutes.

With veterans sidelined by injuries most of the season, Women' s Cross Country faces A demanding schedule

Injuries plagued the 1984 Lady Flames'cross country team and played a major role in preventing them from repeating the success they enjoyed in 1983when they finished 20th inthe nation in their firstseason of competing intheNCAA DivisionII

As many asfour of the Lady Flames' top six runners missed all or parts of the season due to injury As a result, Head Coach Ron Hopkins was forcedto go with ayounger, more inexperienced squad that could not handle the Lady Flames' demanding schedule with the same results the injury-free veterans would have.

Despite the rash of injuries, the women did manage to pull together and perform wellasateam in theirtwo season-ending meets They finished fourth out of twelve teams at the Mason-Dixon Conference Championships with only five LBC women competing Renee Viertel finished fifth overall in the meet and was one of three LBC runners to earn AllConference recognition.The other two were Nancy Knowles and Renae Reimer

Cheerleadersfan LBC

For Liberty Baptist cheerleaders, building student enthusiasm isnot an end in itself.

Though theywork todevelop asense of good sportsmanship among the student body and though they build a good working relationship among themselves,they have another purpose inmind.

They try to witness to other cheerleading squads from visiting schools during games and present the One theyloveand serve.

Each member believes the Christian cheerleader is the best cheerleader becausehis/herjoyslast "notonly for a season,but foreternity," one of them said.

"Daily Bible study, prayer anddevotion arejustasimportant tousas agility, conditioning and the routines of cheerleading."

The Big Apple

Th e clowns and floats round the corner,the announcer's voice crackles over the microphone and the Flames Marching Band steps into thespotlight.

With thedazzling Christmas lights of world-famous Macy's department store as a background, the band performs a perfectly executed two-minute routine for millions of viewers, some present but most watching acrossthe nation by television.Itisthe 57th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City

The LBC performance is almostlikea miracle. The band marches a parade route oftwo miles, playing the popular "On Broadway." After performing to the enthusiastic crowd ofNew Yorkers lining the street, the exhausted band members barely have time to collect theirwitsand prepare forthe televised finale.

Drum Major Tom Talley blows the whistle and instruments flash toattention With high spirits and adrenaline flowing, each member ignores every ache and pain and plays "as unto the Lord."

Westside Story's "Mambo" takes off with the leading beat of the cowbell, followed by the brilliant brass and powerful percussion The music reverberateswith mounting excitement as the band centers on the red star on the streetin front of Macy's.Each drill design is in alignment Even band members are amazed after viewing a video of the performance. Persistent problems,always cropping up inpractice, nevermaterialized

Band Director Ray Locy said, "It looked as ifitcame right off my chart paper!"

The performance culminateswith the musicians straining to release the climactic chords and with their whirling inafrenzy ofcolor. A bow,done in unison by the entire band,ismet with thunderous applause. Immediately the unit rounds the corner to the tune of "The Sound of Angels," a compilation of traditional Christmas hymns Itis overtooquickly!

The parade ends in a triumphant celebration as the band, 155 members strong and LBC's largest ever,gathers for congratulations, comments by the directors, and avery specialThanksgivingprayer

The trip to New York City fulfilled the dreams of many band members —

not only thesmall town boy'sdream of visiting the Big Apple, but also every band directorand bandsman's dream of marching inMacy'sParade.

While in New York (and notpracticing), the band visited the Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, United Nations building, Radio City Music Hall,and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts The group also took a ride on the subway and dined in severalofthecity's famed restaurants.

The trip started to take shape way back in July when the band's applicationwas accepted out ofmore than 350 entries from bands across the nation. The Marching Flames were proud to representVirginiaasone of12bandsin theparade

Under the guidance ofhead director, Ray Locy, percussion instructor Steve Reitenour,and horn coordinator Keith Currie, the band practiced during a grueling week ofband camp in August before school started. The members grew close at this time as new and returning students alike were welcomed and quickly drawn into the anticipation of the parade and coming marching season

During football season the band was busy preparing half-time shows.Itwas aproud day when theMarching Flames took the field sporting new uniforms and equipment. The classic military uniform in Carolina-and-navy-blue enhanced thedisciplineand carriageof each bandsman as hispride showed in each step.While thrilling LBC's homegame crowds,band members feel they gave their finest appearance before a capacity crowd at the James Madison University away-game.

Enhancing the music and drill this year was the color guard coordinator, Drum Major Julie Nelson. The band's special prayer for the season has been that someone somewhere might be led to Christ through the performance of theband.

From the Macy's Parade to the Lynchburg and Bedford parades, from home ball games to James Madison University,the band has held high the lightofChristthrough thetestimony of music and excellence, asexemplified in the band's key verse for the season: "Let your light so shine before men, thatthey may seeyour good works,and glorify your Father, who isin heaven" (Matt. 5:16).

Worl d evangelization

Sharin g a concern for world evangelization iswhat SMITE is all about.Although two separate teams compose the Student Missionaries in Training for Evangelism, the ministry's common bond isa burden for world-wide missions. Utilizing their wide range of singing and speaking talents, the groupsseektoremind churchesoftheir obligation to the great commission of Christ. The groups also generate support for missionaries already on the field.

This year, Tom Turley was at the helm of one of the SMITE teams Though Turley was a SMITE member for four years while in school at LBC, thisyearwas hisfirstasdirector. His group visited three churches nearly every weekend of the school

year. Missing as little school aspossible, the group left late on a Friday or early Saturday morning and returned just in time for Monday morning classes.

Dr Robert Knutson's team traveled to one church each weekend to hold a two-day missionsconference.

Many ofthemembers taught Sunday School classes in the churches as the teams took control of regular services for the weekend. In addition, fellowship in the homes of church families provided many opportunities forthestudentstoshare their concerns on apersonal level.

They exhibited their commitment to the purpose of SMITE by the many sacrifices required to be a team member. During the school year,each individual donated his weekends as

well as needed study time forpractice sessionstwiceaweek.

Financially,the team members bore the responsibility of raising their own supportforthesummer tours. Air fares, meals, lodging, and transportation amounted to nearly$2000.

Probably themostimportantcommitment of the team members was a spiritual one.Each person on theteam needed an authentic burden tospread theGospelofChrist

This year's SMITE team combined students from a broad assortment of majors,but each showed thataburden formissionswas apriorityregardlessof his fieldofinterest

The SMITE message:EveryChristian, regardless of vocation, must aid in spreadingthegood newsofChrist

Not just another performance

Th e King's Players, Liberty Baptist College's drama touring team, celebrated its seventh yearat LBC and its twenty-fifth yearin existence.

The team began under the direction of Dr and Mrs Mark B Lloyd at Asbury College.David Allison, current director of LBC's King's Players, traveled four yearsacting with theLloyds, then added another year as assistant.

A 28-day trip to England began this year's King's Players tour From May 15-June 12, the team performed 28 times in Anglican,Methodist and Baptist churches It alsowent toBaptist Bible College and four high schools In the high schools alone, nearly 3,000 students heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ— many for thefirsttime.

Thisyear was especially complicated for the drama group Many times members found themselves drained of energy as they struggled through exhaustingtouringdays.

"Everyman,"amedievaldrama about man's decision for or against Christ, was performed fourtimesinone dayat ahigh school. Then later thatnight, the team moved all its equipment to a churchto perform a musical.

To many of the actors,soul-winning isthe highlight of every tour That is what makes King's Players a ministry, not just another performance group. Throughout the school year,the team went to 20 churches.Nearly 500salvationdecisionsforChristwererecorded

One excitingmorning inEngland,50 high schoolstudentsreceivedsalvation through the cleansing blood of the Lord Jesusand the power ofHisresurrection However, when theteam went toBelphy,Ky., more than 300students receivedChristas theirpersonal Savior.

To many team members, it was a reminder thatthe King's Playersis the Lord's team and His tool to work His miracles.

That same day, the team went to Matewan, Ky.,public high school and 63 more students claimed to have received Christ

The King's Players performed four plays thisyear:"Once toDie," "Which Way," "Everyman" and the "Resurrection Celebration."All four present the Gospel of Christ.David Allison, director of the Players,isusually given the opportunity to explain how the audience can receive Jesus Christ as Lord andSavior.

Becauseofthespiritual responsibility involved with dealing one-to-oneafter a performance, Allison tries to find members for the King's Players who will contribute spiritually as well as dramatically. Every Spring, he holds

auditionsfor anew team

Drama, however, is not the onl thing the actors do. Debbie Stever, firstyear transfer student from Bapti Bible College, Springfield, Mo., is ventriloquist. Her charm and talei captivated audiences in every perfi mance. With "Rusty," she was the highlight and "ice breaker" in many schools' and childrens'performances. Along with Stever,the King'sPlayers quartet, trio, and GailEmerson sangin Sunday Schools, church services, chapels and often before a drama presentation.

Easter morning was also an experience team members won't forget. They performed the "Resurrection Celebration" in Birmington, W.Va.,as Pastor Fred Brewer celebrated his 50th anniversary with his church

Many team members like David John, Mark Pyles, this year's team leader, and Erin Jill Jack, GailEmerson, and Glenn Williams will not return to King'sPlayersnext year.

Sounds

The Sounds of Liberty represent Liberty BaptistCollege tothe television audience of the "Old Time Gospel Hour."

They travel the majority of weekends singing at banquets, in local churchesand forpolitical presentations

In Washington D.C, where 70,000 people gathered fortheNational Pro-LifeRally and Surgeon General C EverettKoop spoke,the Sounds "sang for life."

On April 13, they sang in thegrand finale of Baptist Fundamentalism '84 Joined by Robbie Hiner,they performed for President Ronald Reagan and the more than 20,000 peoplewho attended theservice Their "Look Up America" feature took them to Soldiers Field in Chicago last summer Officials reported 100,000 people attended theeventscheduled forJuly

The Sounds of Liberty have recorded three albums The most recent one will be released in August "The Sounds of,His Love," recorded in June, is entirely Christmas music " 'Tis so Sweet," "He Lives," and "More Than Wonderful" are filledwith theircurrentsongs

More than 200 students audition for the Sounds when vacancies become available Applicants are judged on their vocal qualities, Christian testimony, academics, and leadership

The coordinator of the Sounds ofLiberty, David Randlett said,"The Sounds are 14 of the top all-around vocal musicians on campus."Each must know how toskillfully and quickly review music, not just be able to sing

Gary Babcock keeps the 14 vocalists, accompanists, and soundmen working smoothly and he leads the team Together, the group encourages believers through a musical ministry

A song for America

Th e steady hum of the diesel engine lullsseveral ofthe 18 passengersto sleepasthe bus rollssteadilyacross the farmland of New York State A few passengers browse through magazines or the latestedition of"USA Today." A few work oncross-stitching

Since May, 1983, these passengers have traveled nearly 40,000miles across39states in a remodeled red,white,blue and silver Trailways bus. They've performed 400 to 450 concerts in various churches and slept in a different bed in different homes each night

These passengers make up the Liberty Baptist CollegeSingers The team consists of a team leader,12singers, 3 technicians and a business manager, with each member taking one year out of college to travel 45 weeks performing gospel concerts or a patriotic program, entitled, "Look Up America."

"I'vetraveled two years now,so I'vegotten traveling prettywelloutofmy system," says team leader Ron Snavely of Avoca, N.Y

In return for one year of traveling each team member receives a one-year scholarship when he returns to Liberty Baptist College.

Although traveling in a singing group may seem glamorous at times, team members are quick to find other values "The glamorouspartis therebecauseyou're

in front of people singing,but thatexcitement wears off quickly and you learn so much more about yourself,"one said. After all, what better way to learn to live with people than suddenly to become part of a family from ages 19to24livingon abusfor ayear?

"Being around so many different people from so many different backgrounds, you see things in other people's character that aretrueinyour own life and thathelps you realizeyour need tochange,"Mike Clineof Stateville, N.C., says Julie Jeffries of Orlando, Fla., and Dave Albury of Nassau,Bahamas,agree that the peoplemake travelingworthwhile

"It's special because you're doing things with people and building relationships with people thatyou'll always remember," Jefferiessays "You learn towork with peopleyou don'tthinkyoucan."

"The greatest things were the different relationships," Albury adds "You can watch people change and you can see them grow."

Along with building relationships come thespiritual challenges

"Just because you make a singing group and travel singing Gospel music doesn't mean you're on top of it spiritually,"Cline says "You have to work at itindividually on theroad as much as anywhere."

Lisa Floyd, from Elizabethton, Tenn., adds,"Spiritually,itwas harder.Iwas not

only accountable to God, but toeveryone around me because Ilivedwith them. Itwas total transparency There's no pretense on theroad."

Floyd, team leader Ron Snavely, media technician Brian Sullivan, and Phil Quarles traveled two yearson theteam Quarles gives this advice to new team members,"It'll be themostdrainingyearof their lives and, if they depend on themselves, they'll fail Ifthey depend on theLord, they'llmake itthroughtheyear."

Paul Frederico of Sao Paulo, Brazil, says being on the team allowed him to "see people living with God as a constant part of' theirdaily lives.

"Meeting people,staying in homesand visiting churches letme see what the Lord had done for them," Frederico says "And also,among ourselves,the Lord has taken careofsomany things."

After the glamour has faded and the lessons have been engrained, is the year worth the time and effort?Without hesitation, eachteam member answers, "Yes!"

"It depends on yourattitude andhow you go about it," Jefferiessays."If you let it be, it'll bethebestyearof your life."

'YouthQuest' ministersupand downcoast

'Youth Quest,' a Liberty Baptist College singing group, uses its name to describe its program It hasa mission, a quest, forministering toyoung people, aged 13to 25

Members dedicate themselves to teenagers "who need to know that Christ has the answers tothequestions theyare asking."

The organization began in the fall of 1981 when the Rev Dave Adams, senior youth pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, and Bob Miller, associate youth pastor there, saw the need for a singing group that would minister to the needs of young people and youthworkers

The singers are 14 Liberty students from various majors. On a typical weekend during theyearthey willload sound equipment and school booksonto an Eagle bus and head for another church inanothertown

They might sing in a public high school assembly on a Friday afternoon, hold ayouth rallyoractivitythatnight and present two or three church concerts

The team of 14 young men and women devotesmany hoursof preparationto presentan attractiveandappealing program They spend two nightsa week in practice and three out of four weekends in travel.At churches,they display their talentsin the skits, songs, dramatic readings, and preaching directed specifically towards young people.

The team spends the entire weekend at one church in order to focusattention on the special needs of the youth department there. Each member tries to present an example of personal godliness to the young people of the church

Each program centers around a

theme that addresses a specific problem confronting today'syouth Themes emphasize the importance of the family, a healthy self-imageand responsibilityto the church.

While Youth Quest members evangelize, calling young people to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,they also try to stimulate an interestin youthwork asaministry. In doing this, the team also seeks to establish communication between Thomas Road Baptist Church and the host churches.

Under the direction of Bob Miller; team leader, Roger Ott; schedule manager, Matt Wilmington;and music director, Don Black, Youth Quest has ledyoung peopleas far away as Florida, Indiana, Kentucky and Maine toan excitingnew life in Christ

In the eye s of a Resident Assistant

Al l 64 Resident Assistants go through many teststoachieve their position.Interviews, exams,trainingsessionsand two months of special work prepare them for a lifestyle full ofexcitementand responsibility.

The infinite duties include keeping orderinthedorms, checking rooms, attending meetings, counseling their charges— thelistgoeson.

Carol Kobus, a senior from Harrisburg, Pa.,said her most important responsibility was "toprovidespiritual leadershipand exemplifyChrist."

Each R A must be devoted toGod to cope with the many duties that surround him. Resident Assistants in-

fluence many lives. Most findjoyin investing their time and lifein the lives ofothers

Mark Davis, senior from Birmingham,Ala.,said, "The bestreward to receive iswhen someone says that you have had an impact in his life for the Lord."

The R.A.goesthrough alearning and maturing processduring which he may not recognize that he himself is learningthe lessons.

Carol Hardman, a music education major, saidthemostvaluablelessonshe learned was "a new definition of love ... doing what isbest for other people insteadofwhat theywant."

Sensitivity to others plays an impor-

tantpartin thelifeofan R.A.Eachon, may be responsible for 60-75people in a dorm Unless he can relate to the needs ofthosestudentsand work toaid them, his efforts will be in vain.An R.A.'s schedule can be hectic and tiresome.

Wendy Kreger saidthelife ofanR.A. is "Busy!" Yet the R.A.s interviewed unanimously agreed that all "theadvantages outweigh the disadvantages by far."

A senior from Evanscity, Pennsylvania, Sandi Burr, said, "Iwanttobe involved with the lives of people no matterwhatvocationIgo into."

Seemingly , there is only one mediator between student body and administration That entity is known as the Student Government Association The student government exists to provide a means ofcommunication,a source ofinvolvement and a mode of solving studentorientedproblems

Basically, the Student Government Association is divided into two functional parts, each headed by a vice president Both are directly headed by thepresidentofthestudentbody

The services division iscomposed of the Student Senate which serves the student body with various conveniences and deals with specific student issues

The activitiesdivision is composed of thoseelementsthatprovide the student body withweeklyactivities.

In addition,the secretary takes care of all typing necessities, filing and miscellaneous responsibilities The treasurer accounts for all financial dealings

As the 1983-84 school year began, severalratherprominent developments were noticeable in what the Student Government Association offered to the studentbody

In the realm of nighttime entertainment, students could visit the Eagle's Nest on weekends. This particular activity had the flavor of a quiet setting where students could come tobeentertained by performers, order snacks served by awaitressand catch up onall ofthecampus conversation.

Also in the area of activities, many miscellaneouseventswere afforded. Interesting activities, such asmovies, late skates,video games, pizza parties, ski-

Youn g Americans for Freedom express conservative principles

Fro m the Christian perspective

Howar d Phillips,the National Director of the Conservative Caucus, setthe 1983-84 theme for LBC's Young Americans for Freedom organization when he spoke in September,stressing the importance of mainstream conservative principles, particularly from theChristian perspective.

Keeping that in mind, YAF club members took a stand against Senator Edward Kennedy's views when he spoke on campus in October and distributedmore than 1,000fliers to exposehispositionon abortionand other issues.

When Congressman Jack Kemp spoke on campus in November, YAF members presented him with the Guardian of Freedom Award and two petitions.The firstasked Kemp to run for president of the United States in 1988 The second petition asked Congresstoreturn theUnited Statestothe goldstandardasamonetarybase

YAF members alsosent a petitionto President Ronald Reagan, asking him to take stronger action when Korean Airlines Flight 007 was shot down by the Soviets, causing the death of conservative U.S Congressman Larry McDonald (R-Ga.)and many others IntheNovember local elections, club members campaigned for Republican Vance Wilkins for the Virginia House ofDelegates.

Thirty-five members demonstrated in front of ABC television affiliate Channel 13 in Lynchburg against the movie, "The Day After." They nailed the movie as political propaganda under the disguise of dramatic entertainment

YAF unsuccessfully petitioned the Virginia Legislature in January to defeat the Martin Luther King holiday bill Club members alsoparticipated in theMarch forLife inWashington,D.C, in January, taking a stand against abortion.

Aids in cultural adjustments

Blac k Student Fellowship ensures that blacks who have difficulty adjusting tocultural differences at LBC do nothave todo it alone.

BSF organized three years ago when the administration became concerned that black students were leaving college early.

The Fellowship Gospel Choir,a BSF activity,formed inthe spring of 1983 Not only did itboost theinterest of non-members inthe organization, but italsodeveloped inits members asense of accomplishment

Eric Simmons, president, says the choir hasgiven members a chance to grow spiritually, mentally andsocially And the choir gets to travel!During

Spring Break 38 members went to New Jersey, where they sang and testifiedin churchesandschools.

During Black Awareness Week,the choir presented aprogram,"Historyof Gospel Music inWords andSong," in two public high schools, a Catholic high school and a Christian high school

Though choir members could not pass out tractsor present the Gospel in the public schools,they diddistribute brochures about Liberty Baptist College.

Throughout the trip people received Christ as Savior or rededicated their lives to Him.

The choir later sang in Newport

News, Va.,ata testimonial dinner in honor of the 82nd birthday of Elder WillieEdwards.

At BSF club meetings members share their needs and upperclassmen share testimonies in an effort to encourage younger members.

Of the 168 blacks enrolled inthe school,approximately 60actively participate inBSF.About half ofthe club members havejoined the choir.

In the future,BSFmembers hope to give more members opportunity to be directly involved ina ministry of the organization,especially as itserves the Lynchburg community

ISA meets the needs of foreign students

In a strange country

International Students Association, organized informally in the spring semester of 1983, tries to make foreign students feel they are apart of LBC and to letthem know thatpeoplecareabouttheproblems they face as newcomers inastrange country

A large number of foreign students arrive yearly at LBC, unable to speak adequate English and unaware of the cultural and climatic differences to which theywill havetoadjust

Homesickness is common among most foreign students as the distances from home aregreaterand few ofthem areabletoreturn home untilthey have completed their education

Fifteen LBC students participated in an International Student Night sponsored by the local YMCA for all international students enrolled in area schools Students played volleyball, swam, ate, and socialized with one another

The new faculty advisor for the organization, Sharon Hahnlen, hopes to better coordinate the academic program forthose not fluentin English so it willindividually fit their knowledge oftheEnglishlanguage

Mrs Hahnlen also plans to print a pamphlet which will be sent to prospective international students, giving pertinent information on the climate and facts about the country and the college

LBC journalismcomesofage

1983-84 wastheyear during which journalism at LBC reached what physicistscall critical mass . . . and what pilotscall flightspeed.

The year began with the upgrading ofthejournalism minor toajournalism major, featuring four concentrations: news-editorial, magazine, advertising and publicrelations.

All fourconcentrations providepractical professional training which will enable LBC journalism graduates to have animpact forChrist through the print media The skillstaught inthese concentrations canbeapplied ineither asecularorChristianmediacontext.

More facultywere needed tostaff the new major. Thisneed wasmetwiththe hiring of two new journalism professors, Ann Wharton and Richard Bohrer.

Both Wharton and Bohrer brought with them extensive professionalexperience inprintjournalism,aswell as extensive Christian college teaching experience

Journalism students hadfront rowseats at Baptist Fundamentalism '84 when Dr. ferry Falwell introduced President Ronald Reagan.

Students develope professional skills by using eight computersin journalism lab.

Bohrer also holds the distinction of having edited the highly respected "Moody Monthly" magazine for four years

The addition ofWharton and Bohrer doubled the journalism faculty, which the previous year consisted of professorsDennisLowry and AlSnyder

In addition to the expanded curriculum and faculty, the journalism department acquired anew state-of-theartjournalism lab, featuringeightvideo display terminals (what professionals call the front-end system) and a digitizedtypesetter(the back-endsystem).

The new lab provides LBC students with "hands-on" experience with equipment similar to thatused in most modern newspaperoffices.

Lastly,1983-84 was the year the collegebegan a (more-or-less)regularcollege newspaper, "The Liberty Champion." Nine issues were published under the leadership ofProf.Wharton, the faculty advisor, and studentEditorin-ChiefLawrence Swicegood

Even though only in itsfirstyear of publication, the paper won this commendation from the judge for the American Scholastic Press Associa-

tion:

"You have an excellent publication, deserving a first place award. The overall editing, writing and layout displays a certain degree of professionalism,and your entire staffshould becongratulated fortheirefforts."

Fringe benefits to journalism students included tours of newspaper offices in Washington, D.C. — the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and USA Today Students interviewed Franky Schaeffer, when he visitedcampus intheSpring, aswellas the news team from CBS here interviewing Dr. Falwell for "The CBS Morning News."

Five minutes later, he checks his watch and measures his progress. One chapterdown — 23togo! Indismay, he discovershisclammy palmsare causing the ink torun on hisnotes.Why get so continued on page180

In one hour he walks away from the class, pale-faced and numb, only to realizetwo days laterhe hasranked in thetoptenscores— outofnine.Is this thepursuitofexcellence?

Did he do hisbest?Ifnot, he hasnot excelled.

There isstillthat freshman thriving on the words oftheprofessor.Whether the subject runs to politics,weather, Mid-East conflicts, economy,or professionalsports, what theprofessorsays is final A theological and philosophical cloud hovers wherever the student wanders.

One thing many students will admit is, "The work never gets easier." To keep up with the increasing tasks,a greatereffortmustbeapplied

And yet, after the final exam has been plowed through and thesemester is officiallyended,theresultis eithera deep sense of satisfaction or a penetrating state of exhaustion.Itcan beboth.

Forsome,theonly reminder inyears tocome willbe theage-old grade card For others, they themselves are the reminder.A principle, a course,a professor has indellibly marked and influenced their life. They arenever the same.They have pursued excellence — and foundit.

Academic excellence.How often we have heard it mentioned in chapels, assemblies, convocations and commencements. We have become so accustomed tohearing and reading about excellence it has lostany sense of reality for our lives Besides, we comfort ourselves, we have no time for such pondering We have pages to read, papers towrite,teststotake,classesto doze through Who has time to think about anything other than surviving untiltheend ofthesemester?

Academic excellence We darenotignoreit Itisthekey tosuccessincollege and in life.Precisely because we have littletime to rollitaround the wheels of our brains,allow me to briefly presentwhat Ithinkacademicexcellenceis and what itisnot After that,you can letitdrop,pursue the idea further, ignore itor tuck itaway in a pocket of your mind tobedragged outforinspection later.

Far too many students enroll incollege with only the vaguest of reasons fordoing so Not thatthey areexpected tohave fullylaidouttheirfouryearsof coursework; rather,their pursuits are anything but academic Sports,social life, music, campus politics, ad nauseum takeprecedenceoverreading, writing and research. Those students cheat not only themselves, but far worse, they sidetrack and sometimes derail others.

They don't care for academic excellence,and in not caring, they lose out altogether in,or atthe leastretard the process of, preparing for life.

Academic excellence. It is not a school that hands out more than 5 per cent A's and B's — that only indicates grade inflation more than it does excellence. It is not an individual's 4.0 GPA for four years — too many students earn a 4.0 average without learning the firstthing about academic excellence

continued from page182

It is not ivy-covered buildings, bigger and better libraries, or bigger and better classrooms, faculty or facilities. All of those can be evidences of academic excellence, but they do not containtheessenceofit

It is thedisciplineastudentexercises in spending hours of study when all else appears much more enticing — most ofall sleep Itisthe preparation forand theparticipation inthestruggle tomaster not merely grades,butideas andconcepts.

It isthe making, the building, of a lifestyle that extends far beyond four

all-too-shortyearsina college

It is, ultimately, thetransformationof awide-eyed high schoolgraduateinto a college senior whose habit isthepursuit of excellence, whether it be academicoranythingelse

Academic excellence. It is an attitude, a lifestyle that ensures success in whatever wayyouchoose toserve God If we asacollegefaculty canteach each of our students the pursuit of excellence only,then we have notfailed inourpurpose as a college

Academic excellence isnotan endin itself; ratherit is aresultofsolidteach-

ing and responsible, committed student-study.

No doubt we will hear those words spoken againandagain Rather thanlet them floatinthe airover ourheads, let us reach up and grasp them. Let them be areminder anda motivator forwhy we arehere

Make it your habit, your lifestyle; then worriesabout grades,tests, papers and tough teachers will dim. Your educationwillhave onlyjust begun.

DR.JERRYFALWELL

And HisPursuitofExcellence

When asked abouthis viewsconcerning excellence, Dr. Jerry Falwell, founder and chancellor ofLiberty Baptist College, replies, "Excellence is achieving your maximum in every endeavor. It is relevant to the person and hiscapabilities Excellenceis realizingyourpotentialin Christ."

These are words spoken by a man whose ministries include the Thomas Road Baptist Church, the Old Time Gospel Hour, Moral Majority, and Liberty Baptist Schools. Falwell, throughout hisentireministry, has had a goal to maintain excellence in every endeavor.

"Our commitment to reaching the world for Christ in our generation demands that we then maintain our commitment to excellence," hesays

The pursuit of excellence in hispersonal lifeand in his relationship with God is something thatDr.Jerry Falwell engages indailyand realizesis avitally importantpartofhis leadership

"I try to, on a daily basis,meet with God through HisWord and prayer. I try

to share Christ on a daily basis with others who need Him Iam constantly consciousoftheimpactI am making on peoplearound me," Dr.Falwellsays.

"I try to associate with people from whom I can learn. I trytospend timein thepresenceoftheleadersofourworld today To me, it's all a matter ofongoing self-improvement — academically, morally and spiritually. I want through television and radio tohavea spiritual impact upon the nation; and, as a private citizen, I'm doing allI can tohaveapolitical impacttoo "Ialsowant,through the training of young men and women, to have a Gospel impact upon the world The longerI am inaplaceofleadership, the more responsibility I feel to settinga proper role model for the people who arefollowingme."

His constant pursuit of excellence, however, does not mean Dr. Falwell never fails. He says, though, that he tries tolearnfrom his failures

"Most of us have more failures than we do successes,"he says. "When I fail,

Dr. JerryFalwell takes time in his study at home to read andprayover God's Word.

Itrytotake the time toevaluate allthe reasons why I failed. This is an excellent way to learn After we leave school and get out into the real world, it is theonlyway we learn."

On order of priorities, Dr Falwell states, "All of our liveswe must maintainthe proper priorities. Our relationship with God is first and foremost forever Our relationship with our familyis rightbehindthat."

Speaking ofhischildren, Dr Falwell says,"I've always believed that I must setthe example formy children if I expectthem tofollow.I cannot tellthem, 'DoasI say, notas I do.'

"They haveinourhome recognizeda Biblical pattern for a family. They've always had afatherwho triedtodo the will of God They've seen their father fail; they've seen him win. They've always had a mother who was submissive to their father, but who was allowed total involvement inthefamily process.

"They've never had afatherwho was a dictator;they've only had one who was a leader. They've never been exposed to two sets of standards. We've never asked our children to be anything but Christian kids. Just because their dad isa pastor,we have never required more of them than otherChristian parentsrequire oftheir children."

Asked what prompted him to start Liberty Baptist College, Dr Falwell replied, "Ihad seen what God could do inalocal churchwhen the commitment was made to evangelism, edification, and saturation evangelism.Isaw asthe only hope forspreading what God was doing in Lynchburg,across the nation, and around the world was the establishmentofa school."

The key to success in the pursuit of excellenceis commitment

"Commitment is everything," says Dr.Falwell. "If we arenotcommitted to theLordship ofJesusChristand to personalgoalsinourlives, we arenot committed to the price that's necessary. Everything worth while iscostly The longer we live this Christian life, the more importantareourcommitments.

"We cannot simply fall behind or keep up We muststayahead."

Freshmen want to go home — only they don't want to tell anybody they wanttogo home.

Here,they'd thought collegelifewas allfootballgames under Octoberskies Butitisn't.

They'd thought college was late night parties, skiretreats, bullsessions late atnightsindorms, anearbycollege town fulloffunandexcitement.

They'd thought allcollegemen were different — mature,debonnair — and all college women lovely and sophisticated.

The awakening came with October. Tons ofhomework due Monday orelse had something to do with it After

all, why should anyone have to do homework atcollege?Why ruinagreat life?

What would their friends at home thinktoseethem bentover — books — day and night? Everyone at home knows collegeisaball

The student procurement officers that came to high school had never mentioned — work!

Istherelife afterfirstsemester?

Freshmen wonder

Sophomores like getting back to school in the fall. They get togo right on in to supper after church when freshmen havetowait. They gettopark theircarson thecircleby thedorms.

Juniorslikethefactthatdouble-date days are over They get to singledate They gettop officesinmany clubsand organizations. They've put collegeall together

Juniors and sophomores never wonder.

They know

But seniors — they don't even have toask In most organizationsand clubs they're the ones who give the orders and setthe course For them,thereare nosurprises

Graduate School and Seminary A year of enriching experiences

he 1983-84 school vt\irwasa time for Liberty Baptist Seminary to grow and "• multiply. It was a year of academicsandaction

Six of the Seminary's former areasof study were transferred to LBC's new graduate program in the School of Religion. These areaswere: apologetics, biblical studies, church growth and cross-cultural studies, church history, counseling,educational ministries and theological studies The Seminary now offers two master's degree programs: the Master of Divinity and the Master ofReligiousEducation.

On graduation day, May 7th, 42 seminary students received their master's degrees,along with an additional 10 students from the LBC graduate studiesprogram

Throughout the school year, seminary chapel services provided faculty members and students alike with the opportunity to temporarily step out of their normal professorstudent roles and to sing and worship togetheras sinnerssaved bygrace.

Dr Carl Diemer, the chapel coordinator, had the responsibility of making each chapel service a spiritual blessing tothoseattending. Individuals providing special music this year included:Keith Patterson, Ralph Brasure, Jeffand JulieZakrewski,Ed and Vicky Wells, Dr Jim Borland, Dr and Mrs Richard Patterson, Millie Ibrado and theKing'sPlayerstrio andquartet. But "faith cometh by hearing, and

hearing by theword ofGod."This vear, as in the past, Dean Elmer Towns brought the first message of each semester on the subject of faith. Some of the other speakers were Jeff Winstead, who spoke on faithinchurch planting;Dr Ronald Sauer,who spoke on victory over sin; and Dr.Gary Habbermas,who spoke on worship during Christmas

There were also two specialchapels, the first being the SGA chapel in November. Jerry Barber spoke from Hebrews 10:22-25 on "Stirring up One Another to Good Works."Skip Furrow and Keith Patterson provided the special sing-along music on theirbanjos The second special chapel came during spring semester with the presentation of student government election speeches and a challenge from this year'sSGA president, DwightBain

The annual beginning-of-the-year picnic at Treasure Island began with the student-faculty softball game. Faculty scoring power was led by Dr. Ron Hawkins and Dr. Jim Borland. Thefinal scorewas 12-6for Borland'steam.

Later in the fall, the Seminary helda family festival at Liberty Oaks Campground Although not heavily attended, the event got a down-home, country atmosphere from the music of the Candler Mountain Boys. Nightfall brought a hayride, singing and testimoniesaround the campfire

Fall semester social activities ended with the Christmas banquet, held in conjunction with the college The

students alter the dinner was followed bv a concert

Spring semester social activities be>',an with the Valentine banquet Ralph and Marty Hagner provided the special music, while Dr Ed Dobson, dean of students, delivered a message

upon C purpost into aI;,

the co-hosts,welcomed allguestsas the 28th, the multi- dinner was served After dinner, LBC was transformed President A Pierre Guillermin mor the spring banquet.

V\e Have This Motroduced a multi-media presentation of the school's history and expansion ment," was based upon Bill Gaither's plans After Gary Babcock sang the popular song The revolving stage musical theme of the evening,Dr Jerry featured Wayne Campbell at the grand Falwell spoke on "Why We Are piano Dwight Bain and John Thomas, Fundamentalists."
