ELAH 1986presentsLiberty ^ University's littlepeople — ^ L students,faculty,staff — who day by day intrigue a watching world (and. perhaps, themselves) as they worship and study, work and play together
Once , ina small town in southern Virginia, an outspoken preacher saidhewasgoingtobuildauniversity. Some people laughed. They wroteletterstotheeditor making fun ofhim They called him a fanatic.
Undaunted, he invited some teachers and students to the small town to start a small school. They carried Bibles. They lived in old hotels The men wore ties. Then, viatelevision and radio, the preacher
toldtheworld he was goingto build a university. The people laughed. They called the schoola monastery,not a university.
By 1985-86, the school had 47 buildingsand more than 6,000 students. Some people were still writingletters totheeditor Theworldwasstillskeptical. But nobody was laughing anymore. The small school in the small town insouthern Virginia had become a university.
Since its beginning,Liberty University has been half school, half construction site.And this year was no exception. Dustcovered, jean-clad construction hands mingled with theLiberty brights — all clean cut, well dressed. Yellow bulldozers uncovered great fields of red clay Building materials lay about campus — fiberglass insulation, ceiling tile,multi-colored wiring, acres of bricks, great spindles of wire
Half a parking lot was fenced
off to store supplies already here. Parades of trucks lumbered in piles of gravel, sand, cement,and plaster. Longflatbed trailersmaneuvered huge girders under a towering,birdlikecrane.
In a way, it was a fitting environment because the building of structures outside served to remind people of another kind of building going on inside where in room afterroom construction workers with degrees lay brick on brick
What did they build in 1985?
The 13,400 sq ft Arthur S DeMoss Learning Center,housinga library, a bookstore,faculty offices and classrooms.
The two-story Hancock Athletic Center, housing athletic offices, lockerrooms, atraining room, and a weight room.
Fourthree-storydormitories, housing 1,080 students
An expanded cafeteria seating 350.
A telecommunications production area with three televisionstudies, a video-editing facility, and a master control
transmitter for a four-channel, closed circuitsystem.
A redesigned inner courtyard with a fountain,52flags, and a large area for outdoor eating.
A grasssoccerfield and two football practicefields
Plans for the summer of 1986 include breaking ground on:
An indoor Olympic swimming pool
A second floor on the DeMoss Learning Center
At leastone new dormitory
Whether it's Dr Sumner Wemp teaching Evangelism inDeMoss lecture hall161orstudentsstrolling the Courtyard's golden walkway orSharon Morrow waiting fora sandwich inSAGA'S newdeli, Liberty life crams work andstudy and play intothe secondsand minutes and hoursbetween dawn and dark
Now, after the buildings were built,the campus had to be rearranged; and, when studentsreturned — expectingto findthingswherethey'd always been — they freaked out. The library!The bookstore!The records office!They were gone. The whole campus had been scrambled likean egg
Here's what changed: HealthServicesmoved from Dorm 20 to the bookstore to make room for Business Division offices.The bookstore moved to DeMoss.
WLBU Radio sportsinformation and communications faculty moved out of General Ed to make room for the new cafeteria.Faculty went toDeMoss, Sports Information went to a trailer and then to Hancock,WLBU went defunctuntil itmoved to where the library used tobe. Library moved into DeMoss.

Using full-time and telemarketing recruiters for the first time, Liberty was able to attract a record 2,848 new students.Totalenrollment, including the School of LifeLong Learning, reached 6,929. Thirty new faculty members were hired,which brought the total to204.
The staggering enrollment figuresshowed how far Liberty had come in14years— from a ragged band ofChristian revolutionaries in 1971 to a fullfledged army of flaming zealots by 1985-86
The firstfew days of school were hectic Butstaffers came up withsome creative solutions to theirbig number problems: 'They put up 150 freshmen atthenearby Hilton andHarvey's motel for a few days until thenew dorms werefinished.

because each one of us was actingoutthreeand four characters in a scene.Basically, it's a test of one'sversatility."
Senior Zupan believes comedy takes more concentration than tragedy
Based on Simon's tribute to the great Russian playwright, Anton Chekov, the play centers around a collection of Chekov's stories that display his view ofthe world and thetheater
The five member cast also included Jan Rogers, RickZupan, Timm Adams and Gail Emerson.
Junior drama major Rogers explained that "The Good Doctor" offered a special challenge.
"This play was more difficult
"Comedy is harder to act out. When you tell a good joke, there is an inclinationtolaugh A good actor must make a commitment of truth and believe inwhat he is doing."
Adams, acting in his first play at Liberty, had only praiseforthe otheractors.

A dream forcivilization
case in point
the musical performed Feb 27 through Mar 8
The play centered around thelovetriangleofKing Arthur's court and offered Sharon Wheeler, director of costume design, one of the greatest challenges of her career at Liberty.
Allison says preparations for the production began in August, 1985. Much time was spentindesigningsetsand costumes, and that alone employed more than 30 people.
"Camelot isconsidered one ofthemore difficult musicalsto perform," Allisonsaid."Theorchestra music isextremelydifficult, though very beautiful."
He singled out the love song of Lancelot to Guenevere,"If Ever I Would Leave You," as a
He and his team ofmore than 100 people turned their Liberty stage into sheer pageantry as they recreated with elaborate sets,scenery and costume all the pageantry of royal Medieval England.
Allison said that "Camelot" was played as a tragedy because love and chivalry were destroyed by the lovetriangle between Guenevere, SirLancelot,and King Arthur
"Itisthe pursuit of a dream for civilization," he said "It shows how some violations of basic moral and scripturallaws can resultinthe destruction of a society."
Brett Howsden, Victor Mignogna, Gail Emerson,and Don Brooks made major contributions to "Camelot's" success as members of the cast

im Shannon's class officer project was a modified version of an old idea — lastused in1979-80
ButShannon thoughtit would foster class identity and "regainan energy and enthusiasm sadly missed on our campus."
Itsucceeded onlypartially.
Enthusiasm blazed for the freshmen, but only flickered among upperclassmen
Understandably, seniors and juniors were a bit apathetic about a program in which they had little togain A year ortwo doesn't allow much time to raise money and create class spirit. Hence, the senior class president ran unopposed, and seniorshad few activities
Not so with the freshmen
They reacted positively to Shannon's idea, fielding 35 candidates for president and holdingan activitynearlyevery week from the verystart.
Here's how the program worked. A president and vicepresident were elected from each class. Their responsibilities includedplanningclasschapels five times a year, scheduling activitiesand fundraising.
Class officersfor 1985-86included:
SENIOR CLASS — President:Matthew Bliss

Sudan: Liberty students wer e there
Story taken from an article byTommy Price, which originally appeared in the Virginia-Pilot ofNorfolk.
The drought had allbut destroyed Mossa Mohammed's cattle and goat herds in the mountainsstretching eastfrom the Nile.Mossa and hisfellow Beja tribesmen, traditional meat eaters, had been forced tosubsist on cornand the shells of dom pom nuts.
But Mossa's 14-month-old son, Mossa Mohammed Dea, refused the corn And he could notfeed athismother'sbreast; Zenup Mohammed Hikash no longerproduced milk Thechild developed diarrhea and a chronic cough,
Mossa and Zenup were sure their first-born son was dying So, one day inJune,the shepherd without a flock placedhis wife and son on a donkey — one of the few animals that had survived afterthepastures turned to dust — and headed southeastacrossthedesert toward Derudeb
There, at a camp once used by an Italian road crew, they would find help,according to word that had spread through the mountain villages. "Hawajees" — visitors from the western world — had arrived with food and medicine for the tribesmen,
A sudden desertsandstorm obscured the runway below Cathy Thompson, a volunteer relief worker from Liberty University, watched as the pilot banked the twin-engine Cessna hard between the mountain ranges. Thompson, 25, saw the huts of the Beja tribesmen surrounding the camp,
"TheLordwill arm me," Thompson assured herself, "for the task at hand."
Zenup,her stricken and naked child in her arms, heard the flying machine on itsapproach. She satina makeshifthospital, surrounded by childrenlyingon cots and mats ofwoven palm leavesspread on the dirt floor, Since she had arrived at the hospital three weeks earlier, her son had been receiving dailyfeedingsofeggs, biscuits, and milk,

Steve and Beth ran out to greet the new arrivals.
"Finally some women to talk to!" Beth Coffey exclaimed. The weeks alone inthe camp had been plagued by illness and swelling from bug bites
But African missionary work had been a life-long dream, she said. Asa 10-year-old, she had put pictures of impoverished Africanchildrenon herwalland prayed forthem nightly.
And Steve Coffey had had similaraspirations As a 5-yearold on Romper Room, a children's television show, he was asked the familiar question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
His reply, "A missionary."

"IthanktheLordfor thededi-
cationand commitment ofthe studentsand facultywho went beyond the call of duty,"Falwellsaid
The LU chancellor recognized during chapel the more than 25 students who earned $1,000 ormore insponsorships.
Jonathan Falwell raised the highest amount, $49,580. He was supported by 65 sponsors from across the country
"Ibelieve inthis school, and see how hard my father works to raise money for the schoo and ministry. Itwas a good opportunity to help him insome way and tohelptakethepressure offhim," Jonathansaid,
The chancellor led anestimated crowd of 5,000ontN 11.6-mile trek around the 4,700-acrecampus.Wearingc gray jogging suit and tenni;
half million
shoes, he finished the walk in four hours and 30 minutes
Falwell intends to make the walk an annual event. The money willbe used to further construction on campus and strengthen the university's endownment fund
Len Moisan, vice president for development and marketing, said, "The Walk-A-Thon was a huge success Not only
was money raisedbutcamaraderieand spirit were perceived here on our beautiful Liberty Mountain campus."

Flames football: Ignited, doused!
At first it was going to be a banner year, But, in the end, allhopes of a winning season washed down the James River — along with about $100,000 worth of equipment.
The James River swallowed TreasureIsland, November 5 — and with itthe football complex — afterfivestraight days ofrain caused extensiveflooding throughout Virginia. Shoes, pads, uniforms, everything went down theriver.
Head coach Morgan Hout had no choice. With two games left, he called ita season.
The season'sstarthad found Libertyfansexcited When former LU standout Fred Banks caught a touchdown passfor the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football, the cheering sounded across campus
And Banks' oldteam wasfaring well, too. After losing to West Georgiabythreepointsin the first game, the Flames quicklybounced back, winning three straight. They romped Mars Hill, racking.up 23 points while giving up only seven
Then, they made history. In a bone-crunching match on the Dukes' home turf, Liberty downed James Madison, 9-3, and let allofVirginiaknow that Flames football had arrived. It was the first time Liberty had beaten a Division I school.
Capping off a great start, theFlamesbeat Wofford,15 to 9
On campus, pride surged. The local paper printed half a page of letters to the editor from angry fans, who com-
j plainedabout negativecoverage of the JMU game. While
• the paper implied Liberty had
won because ofJMU mistakes, fans argued that a tough Flamedefensehad caused the turnovers.
The early season was not flawless, however. Morgan Hout spent the first few games lookingfor a quarterback. Halfway through the second game, he gave freshman Paul Johnson a chance. After just halfa game,Houtknew he had found hisquarterback But the JMU DukesbrokeJohnson'sjaw in two Senior Amos Horton filled in for theremainderof the season,
Hout'srelentless pushto build a Division Iprogram caught some big time media attention.The Washington Post did an article on the football program as did ABC Sports'Jack Whitakker.
At mid-season,however, Liberty's momentum slowed and thenbacktracked. Thelastfour games saw one tieand three losses
The FlamestiedDivisionI East Tennessee State, 23to23,Two weeks later, Southern Connecticut spoiled Homecoming by beating the Flames by two points
Then politics mixed withfootball South-Africa bashing had become the favorite pastime of the liberalacademic world. Professors at Lenoir-Rhyne demanded thegame with Liberty be canceled because of Dr Falwell's well publicized opinions
Libertyplayedthegame,but not before Lenoir-Rhyne'sathletic director assured Morgan Hout that police protection would not be necessary for his Flames.
Injury was added to insult when Liberty fell, 18-16, Finally, inwhat became the last game, Presbyterian Collegedumped Liberty, 3-0, Wallowing in a mud bowl at City Stadium, the Flames had no idea the rain falling on them thatday would not stop until it had washed away the restof the season.

It wasn'tsupposed toend the way it did
The Liberty University soccerteam,ranked 14thin NCAA DivisionII, with a 14-1-3record. With 11 shutoutsand a Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association (VISA)league-leading 40-2 mark LU was predicted — even expected — to walk away with the VISA titlegoing into the championship match against Randolph-Macon College. Nov. 18.
Instead, R-MC carted offthe
hardware, dealing the Flames a heart-breaking 1-0 defeat,
"We didn't play well," observed a disappointed LU head coach Bill Bell afterthecontest "We should have taken advantage ofthis situationto win against an average team."
Despite the championship loss. Liberty's 1985 campaign was its best ever.
LU chalked up team records with most wins,most shutouts, fewest losses and least number of goals given up (7) Also, the
Flames posted a 10-0-1 home mark.
At the startofthe season, Liberty ranoff tofourquickshutout victories before it tied Radford University 1-1 in LU's firstVISA game.
Following a 1-0 VISA win at Hampden-Sydney College, the Flameshosted Tennessee Temple University,Sept 21
Scott Arrowood quieted the huge partisan crowd in the 12thminute when he beat Paul Annan to give TTU a 1-0 lead.
LU refused to fold, however, and rebounded with two late second halfgoals from sophomores Chris Dickens and Samuel Johnson en route to a 2-1 win.
The red-hot Flames continued to goose-egg theiropponents, tying Roanoke College 0-0 and blasting the University of Districtof Columbia 4-0 and Eastern Mennonite College 50.
The International Soccer Association of America recognizedLUby rankingit for the first time(18th) inthenation. LU got as high as 8th inthepoll
Three more wins and its first loss (2-1) at defending NAIA champion West Virginia Wesleyan College set up the second-ever meeting between LU and Lynchburg College, Oct. 30. A defensive struggle produced a draw
Sitting prettyinVISA at2-0-2, theFlamessewed up theWestern Division titleand a playoff bid with shutout wins over Shenandoah College 7-0 and Washington and Lee University 2-0
Inthe home semi-final, Liberty eeked out a victory over Christopher Newport College on penalty kicksafterno goals were scored in regulation or overtime. Ironically, Paul Annan scored the winner,vaultingLiberty into its first VISA title match
Although LU fell to R-MC, Bell still felthisteam accomplished much
"To have lost only two games with our schedule is a fantastic achievement "

The Lady Flames Volleyball
Team learned a toughlesson: the team-building process is often frustrating and difficult— especially when tryingtobuilda Division-Ivolleyball program with inexperienced players
Competing inseven tournaments,theLady Flamesbattled several Division I teams — the University of Virginia, James Madison University, Virginia Tech, Radford University— as it fought to achieve a 16-26record on thetough road to Division-I status.
Unpredictability characterized the team's performance throughout the season because of that combination of experience and inexperience.
The team spent much ofthe season working on coordination The task was a difficult one because of the unusually largenumber ofnew players including freshmen KarriLeBlanc, Kathy Guetterman, Beth Berland,Julie Sitler, Tammy Rapp and Chrissie Belden.
Easingtheadjustment period were seniors Carrie Shattuck, Katherine Kornachuck and Lisa Yovan,who added depth with theirexperience
First-time Head Coach Roy Yarborough, who has coached college athletics for seven years, ledthe team while assistantsJeffJack and Patty Lunn motivated and sharpened skills

When every game counts
Judging by thespirited way they made itthrough an unusuallytoughseason, it's clearthatputtingpoints on the scoreboard wasn't all that made the Lady Flamestick.
Ittook commitment, determination, and a constant reminder from nine-year veteran coach Linda Farver that every game,even a lostone, counted toward better, stronger, and more consistent play.
Despite 20-hours-a-week practice times, the Flameslost the tip-off tournament for the firsttime infour years Priorto Christmas, theirrecord was 2-4 due to illnesses, injuries, and lack of experience.
The 2-4 record motivated players to work hard over the two-week Christmas break and to come back in good conditon and ready to play ball, MissFarversaid
But by mid-season, the record was 4-9 as the team headed toward theMasonDixon conference tournament.
The team consisted of four freshmen, four sophomores, two juniors, and two seniors.
"The unsung heroine has been senior Sheila Ford," Farver said A startersinceher
first game forthe Lady Flames four years ago,she made the team strong in the point guard position.
"Her spirit was outstanding both on and off the court," Farversaid
"Senior Malynda Keck has alsoprovided strongleadership from the inside game. She has made a solidcontribution," the coach added
Freshmen Harriett Blair and Sarah Beth Faber showed promise from the very beginning
"We recruited her (Blair) because of her outside shooting ability; butshe has proven herselfinareas such as rebounding, defense, and assists Faber has also been making solid contributions coming off the bench as a freshman forus," Farversaid.
Overall,itwas a good season for the Lady Flames — a time of learning, growing, and improving team spirit.
Their coach knows Maybe these intangibles don't always show on the scoreboard; but down the road for a determined and maturingteam such asthe Lady Flames, they could pay off — Jennifer Steele

Flames build season onyear-round hard work
Hard work. Structureddiets. Hard work. Total dedication. Hard work Year-round, neverceasing training. Hard work. Liberty Men's Track andField
"Thosenot willing to take the work and dedication are eliminated." Bill Gillespie, head coach,statessimple fact. Gillespie wants his team to remember him forone thing:He worked them hard.
Gillespie, pre-season, said the 1986 Flameswereayoung, but strong team. They were the bestteam instrength Liberty ever had He feltthey had definite potential for national
competition
Mark Winyard,tenth in Division II Nationals lastyear,was the number one returning thrower According toGillespie, he could be the best thrower in Division IIby next year Winyard, alongwith Matt Phillips,a potential national qualifierinthe javelin, appear to be the strength of the weight men.
Most of the runners were young but seasoned forcompeting against top-level athletes, he said He expected Trevor Straughn to qualify in the 1986 Nationals inthe800
HesaidDoug Holiday, who was .01 of a second from the Nationals in 1985, and Greg Vaughn, NCAA All-American, weretherunners withmost potentialon this year'steam.
Hesaid training neverceases in Track and Field Throwing techniques can be lost so quickly and runners can lose their condiitonif thehard work isnot doneconsistently.
Gillespiesummed up hispurposefor workingwith theteam by saying, "It's a disappointment that, inthe South, Track and Field is not recognizedas a powerful sport.
"In theOlympic Games,one ofthe most dominant athletic events worldwide, Track and Fieldisthekey
"Ifthe UnitedStates wants to continuetoperform atthetop level, thenwe need to beable to train athletes at thecollegiate leveland beyond
"And ifthe other atheltic teamshere (at Liberty) want to become Divison I, then the schoolis going tohave to supportthe Track and Field team sothatwe can feed the other athletic teams with athletes with even greaterpotential."

When Liberty's athletic program goes DivisionI in1988, the baseball team won't have to do any schedule changing It's been beating top-notch competition since it went Division I back in 1983-84
But 1986 found the Flames facing theirtoughest schedule ever. They had to hithomers, steal bases, and throw strikes against Maryland,North Carolina State,James Madison,Virginia and Virginia Tech.
ButtheFlamesdidn'tflinch In the face ofsuch stiff competition, they made Liberty proud again.
Six starters and nine seniors came back, including power hitters Ken Tomlin, Jeff Edwards and Pat Sipe.Sipe started the season with a school record of 39 career home runs, a record hetook in1985from Sid Bream, a formerLUstandout now playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The team got off to a bad start After winning itsfirst game athome,theFlameslost

the next five games, including fouron theroad duringtheirannual seven-game trip to Florida.
Before the season began, theFlameswere worried about reliefpitching and were badly missing former shortstop Dave Bream and former centerfielder Todd Nelson.
Despite pitcher Laz Collazo, a new transferfrom theUniversity of Miami, the fears about pitching turned out to beright. When they played George Washington early in the season, the Flames went through fivepitchers.
But the Flames were determined to stay unified.
Earlyon, theteam was working hard on unity
"We've been having devotionsevery day, and they have allbeen centering on team unity," third-baseman Ken Tomlin said early in the sesaon "We are more unified thisyear than any year I've ever seen."

The three trained the squad in crowd-pleasing cheers, using partner stunts and full-squad pyramids
Once perfected, thestunts became thecore oftheprogram.

Libery's crawling with 'em Fat Boys, Smut Bellies, Barbarians, Beach Bums, Terminators,
Most of them hang out on the fields up by the guard shack, kickingup turfand slamming intoeach other and having a great time doing it.
Others populate the gym, spiking and blocking, or the tennis courts, slamming and lobbing
No, Liberty'snot full ofstreet gangs orpunk rock groups. It's full of intramural teams. The above were men'stouchfootballteams in1985.
Of course,the names ofthe girlsvolleyballteams weren'tso rough-and-tumble — theMickey-Mousers the Champettes, Nutra Sweet. Sweet Sixteen.
Intramuralsare big atLiberty realbig Yearly participants number notinthehundredsbut in the thousands. The 1985 men's touch footballcompeti-
tion, for example, had 24 teams with 20 members each fora total of480.
Women's volleyball had 14 teams with 20 members each fora total of280.
Director Ralph Gold saidformer director Roy Yarborough conducted a study at the end of 1984-85 and found that 3,000-3,500 participated in intramurals. That was well over half the student body that year
Gold and his two assistants Beno Chappell and Terry Jordan scheduled a number of sports— touch football(men's and women's), soccer,indoor soccer, tennis,volleyball,basketball, three-on-threebasketball, softball.
Students must choose a team manager and a referee
Before any competition is scheduled, managers must meet and go through all the rules. Themanager signsa contract,saying he willpay $4.50 for every game that'sforfeited.Managers are urged to be punctual, encourage fairplay and help control team emotions.

DIARY OFA BAND PLAYER
Man, it was hot today! The weatherman said it got up to 86 degrees - that translates into 125 degrees insidethosesuits!
I thought I was going to pass out at first, but I regained my senses when I heard my roommate yellfrom thestands Istopped justfora second to wave my horn (we're not sup-
posed to wave, but I usually move my hornfrom sidetoside when someone yells at me) and thetuba playerbusted me in the head because he didn't see me stop I still hadn't quite recovered from that one when we lined up to play the National Anthem. About halfway through that, I felt myselfgetting ready
to faint.Then the guy nextto me slammed hiscymbals in my ear
Atleast I was awake, evenif was deaf.
W e were able to take our jackets off while we weresittinginthe stand duringthe first half, that lowered the temperature inour suitsto afrigid 110 degrees.
At halftime the band takes a center stage . . . field. Today, we played "Mambo," the theme from "Cats" — thatwas a tough one — and "Tonight."
Thisis the band's shiningmoment — when the whole school iswatching no one but us.There's nogreater feelingin the world when my heart starts pumping feverishly, my blood courses through my veins, and my breath makes the music from the endof my horn — all of this in harmony with everyone else inthe band.
Thisis whyI doit. Thisis why I practice for hours each week, sufferthrough 110degree heat orsub-freezing weather at the games.
The feeling ofbelonging to a group,ofaccomplishing something, and having the whole school watch theendresult.
That makes itall worthwhile.

Flag corps colors games
Liberty's courtyard is not the only place where flags fly.They flyathalftimeduring home football games,too.
The Flag Corps,a branch of the marching band, employs 18 female students to perform with the band at half-timefestivities.
They are,according to cocoordinator Rona Rosian, the "story-tellers of (the band's) music."
The group performs 10-12 minute shows each game Kriss Hall istheotherco-coordinator
"All ofour routinesaredifferent," Rosian says The group practices about eight hours a week.
"Most people think the Flag Corps is allglitter and glory; but itreally ishard work."
Rosian says that, despite the hard work, most members are anxioustoreturnthenextyear.
"Without us," Rona says laughing, "there's nothing to watch at halftime."

The Liberty University Concert Choir helps strengthen music majors' musical performance skills. It also helps make Sunday morning church in the Multi-Purpose Center seem more like "real church."
Although music majors must
participate inone ofthe campus choirs, non-music majors may sing and many of them areamong the 145members in Concert Choir.
Regarding the group, Roger Bice, conductor, says, "The choir is a young one (mostly
freshmen) and its overall sound isyoung What these people lack inexperience, they make up forby being the most cooperative and enthusiastic choir I have worked with so far."

King's players serve with talent
Th e King's Players were on the road again this year but not to the extent of other teams, other years.
Where teams once stayed on tourallyear, inexchange for a year's tuition, King's Players now take weekend trips to churches and schools a few
hours away. During Thanksgiving break, teamswenttoPennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey
Approximately 40 students, most ofthem new totheKing's Players, make up two separate teams. Both teams practice three times a week fortwo or
more hourseach session
They use their dramatic presentations of the Gospel to present audiences with their need forsalvation, praise,and a closerfellowship withthe Lord Jesus.
The group also uses music,
Members singsolosand duets. With three unique plays and their variety of musical numbers, the King's Players serve the student body (they performed during FineArts Appreciation Week) and the community.

Team takes Gospel inmessage to local inmusic, churches
Though it'shard for them to catch their breath in between practicing and traveling,members of LU's LIGHT team know what their ministries mean to others,
"We arelike a breathoffresh air to people we visit and they are likea breath offresh airto us," Brian Weed says "We havetheopportunitytominister to them in music, and they have the opportunity to help us forget the pressures ofschool."
Butaccording toMarshaHerrera,"Seeing people shedding tearsand coming to know the Lord iswhat makes it worth while Knowing how lives are
touched through the message and song isexciting tosee."
Spending an hour and a half warming up and setting up equipmentbeforea church service starts takes only a small part of the team'stime.
"We practice four or more hoursa week; and ifwe're not traveling, we rehearse another four hours on the weekends," Greg Boone,music director of LIGHT, says "This year,we have a lotof rehearsal time. We had to be back atschoolAugust 15so we could rehearsefor ournew program.We'replanningtorecord an album, called, "People Need
the Lord'."
Yet to Jon Hatt putting into practice what he's learned at school gives him a chance to minister
"So many people here at school learn, but they don't go out and share what they have been taughtwithotherpeople. Through our music, we have that opportunity."
Theteam returnedearlyfrom Christmasbreakinordertotravel to Pompano, Fla.,where it ministered in a church. Next summer the team willtakeits ministry to Africa andBrazil

rh e training of actors and playwrights isonly one of Stephen Wedan's concerns. He also has a dream of being able to contribute to a new renaissance toward God where the power of Christian drama inthechurch may berealized
Mr Wedan believesthe gospelcan be given through Christian plays as a form of modern parable.
"Since Ihave been here at Liberty, Ihave seen a greater acceptance of drama and theater as a ministry,"he says.
He is pleased withthe diversi-
Mr. Steve Wedan
fied talent of students already enrolled in the drama department but he is still looking forward
"My pointofview toward the future isan expansion of what we do, not just more of what we already do The potential power ofChristiandrama isnot realized. I wishtotapthat power."
Although his schedule is heavy with directing,teaching theater and acting classes as well as being more active in writingand performing, Mr. Wedan enjoys it He has written about a dozen one-act plays
and three full-length plays, including "Slow Burn,"which has been performed here atLiberty
"I'm proud ofwhat I havedirected here at Liberty,but my greatest energy goes into my own plays.
"We need tobegintocreate a body ofperformers and writers who willshake the world I believethatgrowthasan actor willcome aboutwhen you grow asa personaswellasasaChristian. And that growth comes straight from the gospel."
Larry HumphreysPhilosophers understand the issues

ROTC offersstudentsprestige, aid,anda jobongraduation
Overwhelming response to ROTC training opportunities at LU prompted the government to assign additional Army personnel to teach classes thisyear.
Four students were commissioned at graduation, utilizing cross-enrollment with Lynchburg College and extension opportunities with Washington
and Lee University
LU's military science department wants to achieve host status. This would allow students to take all courses on campus However, it would have toassurethe Army that it could commission 15 officers each year.
Liberty leads universities and colleges inthe stateofVirginia
inthe number of students enrolled inthe military program
The department also offers aviationstudies toprepare students for professional careers.
The University owns two Cessna 152'sand usestenother aircraft, as well School officials are considering adding helicopter training to the aviation program.
Sounds ofLiberty have a secret
Yo u open your eyes after prayer at church and they are there, assembled on stage. You rollout of bed and stumble to chapel, they are there At home even, you turnon yourtelevision during break.They arethere.
They make it to all their classesand all 178 weeklyservices, still looking first-time fresh.
Who? The Sounds of Liberty
They not only frequent the on-camera platformat church, butthey alsoperform ina numberofbehind-the-scenesmusical activities as well After practicing intwo-hour sessions threetimesa week, theSounds present several local concerts a semester, travel once a month and record threeor four demonstration albums a year.
But that'sthesort of thingthe Sounds of Liberty do every
year So what was unusual about 1985-86?
The new faces.
"Usually, we'll getonlyoneor two new singersa year,"says Leslie Painter,a senior on the team, "Last year,we lost seven singers at once to graduation."
Five of thosewere malesingers. Is thatthesecret?Is itjusta matter of "new-men-clature?" —

Some of his more memorable accomplishments include:
* A Student Government video inchapel which featured Gary Yoder as the typical nerd who had a hard timeadjustingto Liberty untilhe discovered what SGA could do forhim.
* Collecting Christmas freedom boxesoftoysand clothing from the student body to give to needy children in Latin America
* Establishing Senior privileges by asking the administration to take action on a proposal approved the year before by the Sherman administration. Privileges included: extending curfew to 11:30 p.m, on weekdays aslong as seniorsremained off campus and allowingall upperclassmen to study inthe dorms allnight ifneed be
* Restructuring the Student Senate soeach dorm floorhas a senator,allowing for greater distribution of representatives and, hence, better representation.

Dolph BellBroadcasters g o local for hands-on experience
Too much reading can be a waste of time, broadcasting majors say They need experience,not books.
So, instead of studying books in the library, they go offin a different direction, trying tobuild their skills at Lynchburg radio stations, the School ofLifeLong Learningor anywhere they can get hands-on experience and good resume material.
The Intercollegiate Religious Broadcasters club bringsLiberty's busy, scattered broadcasters together and slows them down long enough for them to share education and encourage friends to get jobs orinternships
Professional broadcasters speak at meetings. Local station managers,cable workers, and news personalities challenge them to get vast experience while inschool — notin theChristianfield onlybutinthe secular field aswell
Field trips to professional studios, such as the ABC News headguartersand theCBN and PTL networks,give students an insight into theart
Highlight of the year was the annual National Religious Broadcasters convention in Washington,D.C.,held Feb. 25 Here students met the top professionals inthefield.

Th e Apostle Paul says the unrighteous are fullof debate (Rom 1:9) But certain students at Liberty have proved the righteous can be into debate,too — up totheir ears.
Club members put in about 15 hours a week researching Come tournament time, they work harder.
Startingat8a.m.,Friday,they debate all weekend — eight hoursa day, threedaysstraight. They debate both sides of an issue — pro and con — four hourseach side. They spend another eighttoten hoursatnight
pouring over newly heard arguments, revising their notes, trying to construct rebuttals Debaters have tostickto the subject — one subject allyear, no matter how boring.In198586 itwas public schools.
The national debate topic read:"Resolved: That more rigorous academic standards should be established atallpublic elementary and/or private schools in the United States in one or more of the following areas: language arts, mathematics, and/or natural sciences."
The team's performance suf-
fered initiallyfrom inexperience and the graduation of awardwinning debaters Itwas a building year
"This year we had a lot of novice people and a lotofpeopleintheJuniorVarsityDivision," senior Mary Ann Barber said "I could expect that in the next year or two we're going to have a team justas competent as itwas."
Already the team is winning top prizes.

Through monthly prayer meetings, the Australia for Christ Fellowship encourages Liberty's 19 Aussies to keep theirspiritualeyes on the motherland.
They let Yanks come, too.
The group informs interested Americans about Australia so they can pray intelligentlyfor the South Pacific nation,Andrew Maxwell, an Aussie and an LU seminarian says There are no activitiesorgimmicks — just information and prayer.
"I have an interest in the country and itspeople," says Liza Surette from Boston,Mass. She hopes tobeamissionary to Australia some day.
"Ilearn about thecountry. I learn something new every meeting, no matter how small." she says. "Sometimes, we have lecturers come in to speak andsometimes the Australians just share with each other That helpsme learnhow they think." M.Anthony Carr

A n organization of about one dozen pastoral training upperclassmen, Masterbuilders, handles the nitty-grittyaspectsofallthebasic ministries assigned pastoral trainingstudents.
For instance, one organizes the jobs and schedules for the some dozen men who captain busesfortheThomasRoad Baptist Church Sunday School program.
Another directs the 40 men who work with the "Senior
Saints,"conducting Bible studiesand preaching in servicesat nursing and retirement homes.
Another organizes the Good News clubs. Afterteaching one himself,he handles the paperwork forthe other20 men who work with him
One writes and edits "The Shepherd's Journal,"a periodical that the Pastoral Training Program publishes
One keeps the files on each man inthe pastoral major, documenting hisChristianService,
his extra curricular activities, and relevant informationfor his resume,

ChristianServiceismanythingstomany
Muslc Education major Dee Paulson plays on the Lady Flames basketball team That's her Christian Service.
Meanwhile, Linda Perry, a sophomore, leads a group of girls in prayer and Bible study twice a week That's herChristian Service
The misunderstood Christian Service policies at Liberty become clear when revealed in thelightofthe "Champions-forChrist" philosophy.
Assistant Director of Christian Service Gaylen P Leverett says the Universityisaiming fora balanced approach to Christian
service.
"That's why we count sports as Christian Service and civilor socialorganizations asChristian Service.Thisisto train students toapplytheirChristianinfluence outsidethewallsofthechurch."
TheChristianservice program isdivided intothree areas. The firstdeals with discipleship. The classes known as Christian Growth I and ChristianGrowth II teach students the basic doctrinesof theBible Christian Growth I exposes the student to the what and why ofBibledoctrines, holdingin the Liberty tradition that Christiansshouldknow notonly what
they believe,but alsowhy they believe it
The lessons in Christian Growth II takethesedoctrines a step farther and help the student apply them inhislife. Ethical questions, such as "Isabortion wrong?" or "Isitever right to lie?" help the student expand his spiritual and mental maturityby forcingintenseBible study
Sophomore James Bell, aBusiness Administration major,says the teaching on situationalethicsis very beneficial Theprofessorpresentsspecific, consistent passages of Scripture thatsupport the Christian world view
He saysthatChristian Growth II teaches him something new.
Step two oftheChristian Serviceprogram givesthestudent the opportunity to work inthe local church Leverett says this instillsthe habit of serving the Lord inthe localchurch through activity,not justattendance
The activities at the Thomas Road Baptist Church are not limited to teaching a Sunday school class or singing in the choir like most other churches. Ministriesassociated withTRBC, like the Liberty God Parent Home, Elim Home, and Military Ministry, incorporate students in their work
people
The final step of the Christian Serviceprogram gives students the option of staying in the church or branching out into other community-oriented programs
Students can use theirskills in social, civicorartisticgroups — even sports. Leverettsaysthis is where the practical Christian teachings of Christian Growth come intoplay
"This iswhere students learn to make an influence forChrist in society."

Randy HallPastoral students get practical training
The 500-member Pastoral Training Program isnot a club or organization, but rather a Christian service for all pastoralstudentsin the university and seminary.
Members get involved with nursing home ministries, Good News clubs, churchsurveys, and other localprograms
Over Spring break, pastoral students traveled to churches, held crusades, and preached the gospel
On April 16, the Spring seminar preaching contest helped pastoral students gain preaching experience incompetition.
"Pastoral ministry isas much caught as it is taught,"saysDr JerryKroll, who with hisassistant Steve Suders directs the program.
"We provide hands-on experience for pastoral students and an opportunity for the pastortolearnmore thanjustfacts. He learnsthatthe ministryis not justlearning,but doing."
A weekly publication, entitled,"The Shepherd'sJournal," iswritten and published by Dr. Kroll and members. Itprovides pastoralstudentswithtopicson biblical subjects, spiritual growth and aboutjobopeningsforlastsemester seniors and graduates.
Kroll and Suders interview seniors at the time of graduation to see where they stand on their theology, what their plans are for the future, and what direction they should go to meet their futuregoals

Years ofbuilding and develpmentliterallywashed away 'urtienthe worst flood inthe rate's history hitNovember 4 and 5.
The flood, which did more dan$600million worth of damirjstatewide, did not spare
Liberty from itswrath.
Treasure Island,long used by the ministry as a children's campground and a football training facility,suffered some $2 million in losses.
The Flames' football equipment and buildings were destroyed, forcing the cancellationofLiberty'slast two games against Carson-Newman University and Towson State University
The Flames'recordsandfilms were saved — only because they were on the second floor of the footballbuilding.
Summer camp workersScottieLovelace and hiswife Mary Lou, with kids Ezra, April and Daniel, lost nearly alltheir belongings when water inundated theirlower floor apartment in the Treasure Island residence Not warned to leave until itwas too late, they evac-
uated on water patrol boats
The bridge leading to theislandwashed away.Butnoteveryone viewed thisas a major loss; many considered the bridge too rickety
"It'stoo bad ithad to happen attheexpense ofourseason, but it'sthe best thingthat ever happened to that bridge,"Flames seniorwidereceiver Doug Smith said.

Th e date was Wednesday, January 29, 1986. The time 11:05a.m White death stalked the land. The Blizzard of '86," as some southerners called it, was about to make Lynchburg history
Everything was calm — but cold. Heading to classes, we knew therewas somethig inthe air.Thecloudsloomed dark and foreboding. The north wind blew The tension mounted

You bet your "Canadian hoser hats" itwas
Some students stoodsilently Otherof themore macho mentalitywatched with cross-eyed excitement as innocent snowflakes died on their outstretchedtongues. And still others simplyfoughtfor dear life as they trieddesperately to keep thierbalance on treadless loafers
The city panicked. By noon, City Hall declared a "state of emergency" — and the town of Lynchburg closed Many Liberty classes,to the utter dismay of the students,followed suitas teachers stayed snugin their warm houses. Cars crept along in the mounting white stuff The snow had alreadyaccumulated to a terrifying two inches — and still itcontinued!
SPPPLLATTT! The first snowball found itsintended mark. Soon othersnowy sphereswereflying through the air, directed at whateverlookedthemost inviting — a passing car,an open window,the back of a head
The LUslopeswere spattered withbodiesridingthesnowydescentson anything from plastic bags to "borrowed" mattresses. Motorized vehicles "donutted" and "fish-tailed" in ecstacy to their drivers' content. Liberty campus was transformed into a white, winter wonderland of frolic andfrenzy When would it allend? Was
thistobe theend ofthenesting place of young champions? Would a lull in the nightmare ever come?

Itwas 7:00 the next morning when we glanced out ourwindows The world lay calm and lifeless under a melting three inchesof snow. A curtainof blue closed upon thehorizonending the drama of the preceding day
Outside, salt and sand scrunched beneath the shoes, staining the leather Slushy sidewalks soaked the unsuspecting. A lonely snowman dripped lifeless The horror was

Perhaps we could all learn a lesson from this traumatic experience.W e should never underestimate the ragingunpredictabilityofLynchburgweather.
Next time, we bestheedthe warnings When the clouds loom dark — and the north wind blows — and the"fearof the flake"isseen inthe southerners' eyes, beware and remember — theBlizzardof '86.

TRAFFIC?
We've got it!
S tan d in the parking lot anywhere on campus and you see one common denominator — pink and yellow slips of paper stuck behind windshield wipers. Tickets! They drain the already half-empty walletsofLU students.
Dave Richardson of the Accounting Department says students pay for an average of one thousand ticketsa month.
Most of the offenses areminor— suchasparkinginfaculty spaces or in reserved spaces nobody has discovered who they're reservedfor.
The worst offense? Parking backwards True, most LU studentsneversuffer the wrath of LU Emergency Services. But
Up anddown every streetthere'sa lineofcarsall daylong.Trafficpatrol givesone thousand ticketsa month to LU drivers.
many have suffered three times,yea, four.
One student who prefers anonymity earned fourtickets in one semester. The finesfor two ofthosedoubled because the seven-day deadline passed beforethey were paid. Althoughstudentsclaimthey have had to go withoutfoodto pay their parking ticket bills, they mean they've had to go without "real"food — McDonalds,Burger King
Officers of the Emergency Services division of Security don'tfeel they'vegivenan abnormal amount of tickets. But one ticket isenough Ask me.

A s a student in the Institute of Biblical Studies here at Liberty University, I realize thatmost people on this campus do not know anything about the Institute. The program isgeared toreachthe personwho feelscalledinto the ministry, teaching him the Word
"These past two years have been one of the best learning experiences inmy life. I have had a chance to ask some questions Icould not have asked outside theclassroom. Other than learning about the Bible, thepeople and the area they lived in, the Institute has
taught me something much more and thatis the practical side ofChristian living — thatis, how and why a personshould liveand act as a Christian. These thingsare not always taught in schools of higher learning. As a person in the service of the Lord, these things are a must. The Institute has taughtme what Phillippians4:13 really means." —
C John Mistretta, Jr."Brother Chapman has taught me practical wisdom about how tobe theman ofGod He

wants me tobe.He has taught me to be the leader others would want tofollow." — Mark Brechal
"The greatest thing I've learned at theinstitute is a true lovefor theWord ofGod. God's wordis alive and vibrant, and we need topresent it to the others this way. Our teachershave shown us thatthe Bible is not a deep dark mystery, but a shining illuminant foreveryday living. Doing God's work isa vastrespon-
sibility, callingforlife-longstudy. Once the Biblehas become alive in us, we'll thenbe ableto relateitsvitalityto those around us. Iam deeply thankfulto God forgivingme thisInstituteandits teachers."— Fred Catalano
Word — the in-depthstudyof the Bible — coupled with the practical applicationin Christian living and the importance of personal evangelism offers thesincereBiblestudentanopportunity to be well prepared forChristian service." —
"My experience the past two yearsin the Institute of Liberty hasbeen one ofchallenge and reward.As Iapproachedretirement, the Lordconfirmed thisas His will forme. The strong emphasison theauthorityof God's
