You steady your black ballpoint over the line that says "name," say a quick prayer and startto scribble out the information. You interrupt to look up your social security number. Your fingers ache,palms sweat.You finish quickly,fold the application and stuffit intoan envelope. You carefully write out "Liberty University" and leave the rest for your mom
The wait for the letter is so long You know you will die if it doesn't come tomorrow. Itdoesn't.But when itdoes,you fill with excitement. You tear open thelight blueenvelopeand readtheword, "Congratulations!" You're on your way

The carcrawlsoutoftown and acrossan overpass. Then yousee it in thetrees — abigbrownsign nestled in a bank of flowers. It has "Liberty University" carved into the wood. You drive beside some woods
Suddenly you see the top ofa whitesteeple.Yousee yellowgoal posts and the green grass. The road veers right. In front of you is aguard shack,just on the other side of another overpass. It is flanked by two stoplights, flashing yellow Behind it, as you drive slowly, is a hedge that spells out "LU." You reach for your camera and remember you leftit home.

The red, yellow and greenballoonsand thelong lines you wait in give the multi-purpose center a carnival look. All the papers you have to fill out make your head swim. You're glad your mom came with you
You have a dorm number and head forthe"circleside"of campus. The dorms are relatively low, the tallest being three floors. Some arebrick, others are metal siding.You get a tin one, dorm 16. After a half-hour search, you find itbehind dorm
You're the first togo intoyour room.You convince yourselfyou can make it, no matter how tight you have to squeeze with three roommates.

In fact, you are Liberty.
You watch the every movement of the clock. Seconds stand between you and freedom Quietly you slip your papers intoyour notebook and closeyour text Your left foot taps impatiently on thefloor. You lickyour lips. Your muscles tighten. Then those magic words come,"Class dismissed."
You sprinttothe dorm to getout ofdresscode. You slipintoa pairofjeans and a"Coke"rugby. You let outasighof comfort and grab the phone. Minutes later, you have your weekend plans made Tonight it's the movie and pizza for a midnight snack Tomorrow, Peaks and the basketball game. Sunday afternoonis footballinthe park, weather permitting Right now, it's dinnerat Marriott.You're off again.
You remember when you thought student life was something you had to find All of those days you sat in your room You listened to WLB U to see ifthey said where to go. You devotedly read "The Champion" in hopes itwould tell you. You were often spotted searching thecrowded bulletin boards. You looked everywhere. But you couldn't find it.
Then there was thatfatefulday You remember well You were still in dress code. It was eight on a Friday night. For lack of anything better todo, you were on your way tothe library When you walked into DeMoss, you found the unbelievable. Sitting around talking, playing games, and just relaxingwere hundredsof students. You wereshocked. What was this they weredoing? Then you saw Sally from your English class Then George from Bible You stopped totalkand, beforeyou knew it, it was timetogoback to your room.
Now you know that everything you do is student life. It starts with what color you choose to wear in the morning. Itincludes where you eatlunch It iswhen you study and where you study It is how you feel aboutchapeland how you like curfew. Itis you and your actions. It is the life you lead atLiberty.
Furthermore, you mustrealize that there would be no life,no student life at Liberty without you, the individual.Studentlife is completely dependent on the student. You are the driving force behind the activities and the actions of this campus Liberty isyou. You are Liberty.
Senato r Carter Glass built the mansion that stands on Liberty Mountain in 1923 It has since been converted into the University's Visitor Center and executive offices building
During Glass'slifetime, hishome was known as "Montview." The twelveroom mansion, built out of native stone, has a slate roof; there are glass enclosedporcheson eachside
On the porch adjacent to the "Blue Room," Senator Glass took the oath of office after he was re-elected to a fourth term in the U.S Senate It was January 8, 1943 He was 85 An illness prevented hisgoing to Washington This was only the second time inSenate history that an oath had been sworn away from the Senate floor
In 1935, Carter Glass purchased two Italian marble mantelpieces from a contractor. They'd been dismantled from a Washington building used by Congressin1819when thenation's capitolwas being rebuiltafter having been
burned by the British. The Senatorinstalled one mantelpiece in his library and the other in his dining room. He jokingly said that the stains on the mantels were from tobaccojuicespitby President Monroe and other political figures of the time The mantels were removed from Montview beforeLiberty
Senator Glass kept a prize herd of Holstein cattle. The Glasses also had a swimming poolinthe rearof thehouse The latterhassincebeen converted to a memorial for unborn babies
When the Montview farm was sold after theSenator'sdeath in1946, it consisted ofthe manor house, a servants' house, an eightroom manager's house, three fourroom cottages, a large dairy barn,a smaller horse barn, machinery sheds and poultry buildings.
Most ofthe farm is now the site of Liberty University campus. The OldTime Gospel Hour purchased 4,400 acres of land in 1971 and the mansion was situated on approximately 312 acres of it
Behind the house Mrs Glass kept a 200-bush rose garden that was asource of pride to her Bill Doyle of Lynchburg'sDoyle Floristdeveloped ahybrid rose and named it,"The Mrs. Carter
The building now houses the President's office, Visitor Center, theoffices ofthe Vice Presidents ofAcademic Affairs, Student Affairs, Administrative Relations and University Relations
Rebekah HellandTh e Liberty Way requires that each student fulfill his responsibilitytothe honor code.He must confront any student who commits an infraction of the school's policies and request that the student turn himselfin or report the incident
The biblically-based code is a vital part of Liberty life. Most students realize its importance; some don't
Knowing the honor code and abiding by it are sometimes two different worlds It may be the hardest test of character that one may encounter at Liberty Many students have faced this testand have passed,asdid one student this year.
One of her roommates came into the room She obviously had been drinking thisis a rare occurrence as well as an unfortunate one
"I was worried and confronted her." Now, the student was faced with the decision to abide by the honor code or to simply ignore it She was aware of section B,stating, "A student who fails to uphold the honor code by ignoring infractions of the school policy will be deemed as responsible as the person who violates the school policy."
"We (the student and her other roommate) were really nervous about turning her in.She was our roommate and we got along well It was a big pressure."
The decision thatshe made was right That evening she called and turned her roommate in An immediate investigation resulted in three persons' being charged with an infraction of the school's rule on alcohol use.
The next step was the review board.
"It was hard because she was there and everything. I had to tell them (the Board) what happened."
As a result, the student who had been drinking lost her privilege to be a student at Liberty. She went home. The same semester, she wrote a letter that expressed appreciation to the roommate who turned her in. She was happy that someone had made her responsible for her actions She returned for the spring semester, a stronger person, claiming to have more integrity and character
"It's a big pressure," said the roommate who turned her in. "Ihad to admit that she had a problem and I was not helping her by ignoring it. If Ihad to do it again,I'd do it the same and turn her in."
Fashion in its strictest of definitions isthe prevailing style of a given period. In late 1987 and early '88, the prevailing styles were based on comfort and uniqueness. Each person was hisown and reflected himselfthrough hischoiceofwhat he wore.
Gentlemen's Quarterly, the magazineformen'sfashion, reported stylein itsNovember 1987 issue as permissive: "We arefortunatetobe livingina time when the socially acceptable parametersofurban dress are generous."
Could thismean that everything was stylish? Well,reflect upon the year in question and you will find that,yes, within reason, anything was infashion. Of course,drawing from the closet of the '70s was not; but the rest of the fashion world was desirable.
Emphasis primarily went tocomfort. One's definition of comfort was a big factorinone'sclothing choices. The old notion thatone must simply wear what everyone else is wearing became archaic.Very few strove for the same look. Instead, choices inthe styleworld were made based on what one found com-
fortable and unique.
To illustrate this world of tolerant style, take, for example, the nonconformist.He tried such combinations as work boots and a blue cotton suit He was stillfound reasonably fashionable Stylesaspermissive asfound intheaging '80sturned thetables It was important to reflect individuality through one's dress Each of us became, while stillin the world offashion,a nonconformist No one was satisfiedwithlooking likethe person next to him Itsimply was not as fashionable as it had been in the past
Yet inthisworld ofeverything, fashionable trends in dress could still be found
Statements were made through the combination of tweeds and wools for both men and women Dark colors, when complemented by a piece from the bright spectrum, were looked on with aspecialinterest. Denim,ina variety ofcolors, was a popular choice.The way denim was prepared priortoreachingtheshelfwas alsoimportant. Everything from stone-wash to white-wash
denim was available, if not desired. Paisley, although it had lostmuch ofits force, was still agood bet Penny loafers were an element ofany fashionablestudent's wardrobe
Men headed for pleated pants,narrow at the ankle, yet never complete without a cuff Socks were frowned upon when they did not match one's shirt The lapels widened slightly and the tiewas acceptable at most widths
For the women, dresses were essentially out, except for Sundays and specialoccasions Female students headed toward the skirt and blouse/sweater combination The women's business suitalsoleft its mark The hemlinecontinued tomake its move upward, foiling the theory of its correlation to the economy
Style atLiberty was a major and key element of life.In such light,students took up fashion, incorporated it into their closet and headed out for campus tomake avividand personalstatement.
Daniel DombakSag a no longer exists. The once nationwide educational foodservice fellto the growing trendof consolidation in corporate America. Marriott Food Services purchased the largest educational food contractorsto add to itshotel and airline food chain.
However, Liberty wasaffected very little by the change,Mr. Edward Pfister,director of food services, says.
"Most changes were internal, such as bookkeeping and payroll. No changes occurred in the menu or full time personnel orthe quality of the food."
Liberty's food service did see one change when the former administrator Holland Meads moved from the dean's office back to food service. Students found it difficulttomake the transition from "Dean Meads" to "Mr. Meads."
Marriottcontinued toserveits 10,000 meals daily under the direction of Mr Pfister who hashad 24years offood service experience
Nationwide,Liberty's Marriott holds the distinction ofserving more meals than any other university, compared to its amount ofkitchen space and time spent serving
In the fall of1987,Marriott catered the "Rise Up andBuild" banquets for Thomas Road Baptist Church The staffserved banquets in the multi-pur-
pose building togroups of 1000 Countless hours ofplanning and preparation went intoeach one This year,Marriott again provided jobsforstudents aswell as for the Lynchburg community
Despite jabs ofstudent humor, Mar-
riott alwayshad mealsready,jobs available andunlimited ice cream. Itwas a unique year.
Foo d poisoning . . . the rumors flew around campus this year. When they first began, Mr.Ed Pfister, campus director ofFood Services, requested thatan inquiry beconducted to determine whether the charges were true.President A. Pierre Guillermin appointed Dean John Baker to head theinquiry inconjunction with Dr Gregg Albers, campus physician, and the Physical Plant
Dr Albers says that 1987 was a bad year for intestinal viruses and many students confused the symptoms of food poisoning with thesymptoms of intestinalflu Inhisopinion, themajority of the illnesses reported were "a simple, but nasty virus."
The only difference between the symptoms of food poisoning and the flu is that the flu isusually accompanied by a fever,he said
The micro-organisms that cause food poisoning have a long incubation period This means that aperson who gets sick andthinks he has food poisoning could easily have eaten between twoto five meals since thetime hecontracted the micro-organism. This makes it virtually impossible to identify thefood that caused theillness.
Chicken was theblamed culpritin the food poisoning cases; however, Pfistersays that food poisoning can becarried by almost anyfood product,even water.
In order forthe food to become con-
taminated with harmful bacteria,it must be exposed towarm temperatures for extended periods oftime.
in tocheck therefrigeration system for any malfunctions.None were found.
Ifthefood had been contaminated by food poisoning bacteria, the entirestudent body would have been infected, notjust thefewisolated incidencesthat were reported.
In actuality,only three people went tothefood serviceofficeand completed a form that enumerated what they had eaten in order to trace the possible cause ofthe illness The trouble was that they came almost aweek afterthe alleged incident By that time, there was noway to test the food because it was all gone
The cafeteriamakes dailyinternal investigations of itsfood services and preparation,Mr Pfister says
From theinitialcryof"poisoned"to the closing of the extensive investigation,the ever-present whisper of"food poisoning" tainted the campus
Careful precautionsaretaken atMarriott in refrigerating, handling and cooking thefood toprevent the toxic bacteria from multiplying todangerous levels,he says
When therumors offood poisoning started, thePhvsical Plant was called
Despite the clean record of Marriott given by both the Physical Plantand Dr.Albers,some students held totheir misconceptions about the campus food service. With the passage oftime, the misconceptions passed.
No onegotsick, and tens ofthousands ofmeals were served.
The administration's open policyof having responsible people examinethe evidence seemed tohave paid off again.
Rebekah HellandWate r buffalo are usually found closestto the water hole,bees tothe hive.Every group has a particular hangout. Liberty's place for students was the "DeMoss Circle."
Day and night,students sat on the brick wall or lounged on one of the many couches spread around. They used the gathering spot to talk, laugh, watch the television and even play board games
Why the Circle? Convenience Itwas not hard to get to,and almost every DeMoss hallway emptied intoit Everyone knew where to meet when asked to be there, sodirectionswere never needed Many ofthe school'sextra-curricular activities were also based in this area
The designers of DeMoss realized the need tosit down and rest But thebrick wallserved not only asseating butalso as a planter It was wide enough that one did notfall intothedirtwhen seated and high enough that people ofall
heights were comfortable.
The couches, the blue and the red, after the school colors,were clustered tostimulatefree conversation. Students
made good use of them every hour of the day.
When there was nothing else to do, there always was the Circle.Students used it as an escape — whether from the silence of the library or from the roommate who keptturning up the stereo. The healthy buzzofchatterranged from politics to "that Englishtest!"
The Circle also gave the campus an atmosphere of friendliness.Ifthe only way one changes from yeartoyearis by the people he meets and the books he reads, DeMoss provided a way of change Here, in its informal setting, many conversations led to lasting friendships and many introductions have led to lasting marriage
The Circlewas a vitalpartofthe life ofthe student Its vitalitydid not come necessarily from within though Itwas the product of good designing and a very friendly,sociable student body
Bruce Herwig Tammy TrentWeekends . We always looked forward to them But with each new weekend we asked ourselves the same old question, "What'll we do?"
Weekends, for starters,were a great time to take advantage oftheopportunity to sleep a little later in the morning
Ifthe weather agreed, outdoor activities intheautumn and springwerepopular. Some studentsdecided togetback to nature and headed for the hills Crabtree Falls and the Peaks of Otter were great places for hiking and picnicking These places were favorites among the students who liked to trek uphill tundra.
Weekends also weretheideal time for the student body to attend athletic events — hockey, football, basketball, soccer,baseball and lacrossegames
Those craving some scenery headed for Smith Mountain Lake or Holiday Lake, great spots for warm weather plans Or they signed up for an SGA trip and opportunities to canoe, whitewater raft, down hillski, hike,tour by bike or ride horseback.Trips were also planned to King's Dominion and Heritage U.S.A
Studentswith money andtransportation looked on weekends asagreattime to eat out For pizza they headed for Pizza Hut or Showbiz. Other popular
Going for the strike.
(opposite page) Steve Buchanan takes advantage of midnight bowling at Fort Village, asdid 40 others every Fridaynight throughout the school year.
"eating places" were Hardee's, Swensen's, Golden Corral,TCBY, Red Lobster, Chi-Chi's, Jeanne's, and G.T Brooks.
LiveMusic? Libertyhosted a number ofconcerts throughout the school year by prominent Christian music artists Performers included Steve Green, Carman, David Meece, Dallas Holm, Truth,Kellye Cash,Lisa Welchel,and Jesse Dixon.
But for thestudentwho wished to get his adrenalin going, evening visits to the"Screaming Statue" orto Courtside for College Night easilysatisfied.
There werealsoSGA organizedactivities The largest turnouts were at the movies and late skates.
Some weekends had dinners and parties with a special feature They were the Miss Liberty Pageant,ScareMare, the annual Masquerade party, the Christmas dinner,Search Contest,the Valentine'sbanquet and Jr-Srbanquet
This year,a new, unique event was added tothestudentcalendar On April 2, SGA sponsored the world's largest musical chairs game and titled it"The Musical Chair-ity."It was open tocommunity participants and tickets were sold tothose who wanted inon thefun The proceeds went to the fightagainst muscular distrophy It was termed, "Jerry's kids helping Jerry's Kids."
With the variety of activities that went on, some students still felt the need to get away for more than just a few hours and went home Stillothers hauled to an off-campus student's home, cherishing the freedom of the television set and kitchen
Friday and Saturday eveningmovies, edited for Liberty, were shown in the DeMoss Learning Center. The '87-'88 filmfestival had awide rangeofmovies, like Harry and the Hendersons, Short Circuit, Twilight Zone — The Movie, An American Tail, The Mission, Witness, Space Camp, The Mosquito Coast and Back to the Future. For the skater, Liberty bussed students offcampus for late skates at Skate Land and to the Lancerlot SportsComplex forsome onice moving.
Other events were private partiesat Showbiz Pizza, late-night miniature golfing at Putt-Putt Golf and Games and moonlight bowling at Fort Hill
There were the good 'olestand-bys. They were studying in the library, hanging outatLUey's and cruisingDeMoss in search of some other bored weekenders
Whatever students'choice for weekend activities happened to be, SGA's Terri Martin seemed to sum itup the best,"If you go with the attitude that you'regoingto have fun, you'regoing to have fun."
Som e people go to college toget away from occasionally noisy, bathroom-hogging brats called brothers and sisters Others bring their siblings with them
Having an older brother orsisteron campus can be a pain They have a knack forconsistently reminding you of your mother: "You stayed up until when!" "Youatepizza instead ofyour vegetables?" "You're going out with that creep?"
However,there aremany people who think that having a sibling around is a plus.
Bonnie Jones saysshe is getting used tobeing called"Julie'slittle sister." Although they fight over clothes, the benefits of having a sister on campus outweigh the troubles.
"He comes in handy when I don't have anymoney . ..There were quitea few timeshetook me outtoeat, put gas in my carand didmy laundry forme," says Kim DeMerchant about herolder brotherRob.
A brother orsistercan alsobe helpful inthefirst week ofschool. Heorshe can show you around, getlost with youor betherewith ashoulder tocry on when
you get homesick Having an instant dinner companion when thereis no one else isalso abenefit
When itcomes todating,itcanbe a differentstory Onesetofsisters stated that when a guy "strikes out"withthe older sister,he tries hisluck with the younger.The younger sister comments that she finds thisespecially annoying.
Several different sisters with older brothers say they appreciate their brothers acting as "bouncers" when they wish todiscourage unwanted suitors. And then, ofcourse, they get introduced toalot ofcuteguysthroughtheir brother.

Rebekah Helland Leaping , Kelly Keys blocks a Virginia Commonwealth player in a 1983 game. LBC won 1-0.Behin d the scenes of L U athletic teams was agroup ofpeople who served without recognition — the athletic trainers,specialists in preparing athletes for competition andin caring for athleticinjuries.
Connie Pumpelly, head athletic traineratLiberty, saysher stafftries to prevent injuries by teaching players stretching exercises and by noticing hazards on the playing field. Ittakes care of acute injuries andrehabilitates injured athletes.
Jeff Mossburg, the assistant athletic trainer, sayssportsmedicine is an everchanging field. New treatments and rehabilitation processes are constantly being developed.
He says he finds thechanges challenging,but enjoyable.
Athletic trainers treated injured athletes twice a day, once in the morning before classes and again inthe afternoon before or during practice
Morning treatmentsbegan asearlyas
6:30 to accommodate the players' class schedules Thetrainers also drove injured athletes toBlue Ridge Orthopedicsforappointments with Dr J Hopkins Afternoon treatments included tapingjoints forpracticeand overseeing rehabilitation programs To become acertifiedathletictrainer, a candidate must hold a B.A degree from an accredited college He or she must also have worked 1800 hours underacertifiedtrainerand must passthe Certification Test Pumpelly saysthe testis the equivalent ofthe Bar Exam Working towardsthegoalofsomeday becoming a certified trainer is Sherrie Anthony, ajunior who has been working asastudent trainerforthreeyears. She says she finds her position aggravating at times because people do not understand the time training takes.
Certifiedtrainerswork 10to 12 hours a day and weekends.
Pumpelly says the long hours are worth it."I love doing what Ido."
Athletic trainers feel the mostrewarding aspect of the job is seeingan athlete come back from an injury tohis fullpotential.
Fifteen student trainers work under Pumpelly and Mossburg. Each student trainer isassigned a specific sportto work with each season. The students rotate sports in order to get experience in treating awide variety ofinjuries. The trainersattendthepracticesduring the afternoon treatment time to watch injuries that are healing and to prevent potentially dangerous situations from arising.
Anthony says the average student trainer puts inmore than 100 hours a month in addition to 15 hours of classroom training, centering around the causes and treatment ofinjuries
Although they are overlooked by the public,athletic trainers know they are an important part of the support network of Liberty's athletic teams

Berr a . . . Mantle . . . Ford . .. Stengel .. . These names are baseball legends.They comprise an honor roll ofunforgettable talent. And, added tothis list of formerNew York Yankee greats isanother name, that of second baseman Bobby Richardson.
Hisconsistentplay helped propel the Yankees to eight World Series appearances inthenine years from 1957 to 1966. During that time, the Yankees reached the championship series five straight years;andRichardson played inaleague-record 30consecutive World Series games.
Now, more than 21 years later, Richardson, who was referred toas"the human vacuum" for his ability tosweep balls outofthe infield, finds himself coaching Flames baseball
How didthis star infielder, named
Coastal Carolina College. While there, he wasapproached by theRev. Jerry Falwell, who told him that Al Worthington was retiring from hisposition as LU baseball coach. Richardsondecided tocome toLU but coached a final year atCoastal Carolina beforearriving here in July 1986.
Richardson says heisexcited about being involved with a Christian program primarily because of thediscipline involved.
"You need the discipline in order to be successful,"hesays.
As oneof the fewChristians in the major leagues during the '60s, Richardson learned to live a self-disciplined, Christ-honoring life
"In those days, itwas quite uncommon foran athlete totake astand concerning histestimony,"he says "There were only one ortwo Christianson each ball team, soit wasdifficult taking a stand while livingand travelingwith 25 guys
"But I believe that ifyou say something, your life needstobearit out Asa professional athlete, you are inthe limelight Everything you dois reported on Themedia digs into your past and triesto find something,so it's important tolive your life ina manner that's pleasing to God."
Richardson not only lives according tothephilosophy thatChristshouldbe first, but he instillsit inthe livesofthe young menhecoaches aswell.
At LU, theformer Yankee stresses God, academics and athletics in that order.
"When a player comes to me asa freshman,Iwould liketo see him mold intotheimage I'm expecting ofhim as a player.Iwant himto learn the fundamentals ofbaseball and mature inconfidence and discipline. Then, bythe time he'sajunior or asenior, he'llbea much better ball player."
Reflecting on his greatest responsibility as"a head coach, thefive-time Gold Glove Award winner says he has to "challenge the young people concerning theirrelationship with Christ."
He also feels that hehas aresponsibility to oversee his players' activities.

'Ibelieve that if you say something, your life needs to bear it out.'
Yo u pay.You play. That'swhat ittakesto participate in aclub sport atLiberty.
Club sports'fees are not underwritten by the university, so individual playershave tocome upwith the money if they want toplay
"It's discouraging," lacrosse player JerryWages says "Ispend close to$300 of my ownmoney toplay."
The junior physical education major from Fresno, Cal., says, "It's hard when you see school-supported sports We work just ashard asthey do,and it's difficultforsome oftheguystocomeup with the money."
You play You pay Whywould anyone want topay money tosinkhoursof practiceintoan activitywith no reward except personal satisfaction?
"People play because they want to. Thatmakes itbettersometimesbecause we'rejustouttohave fun,"Wagessays. And just because these players pay good money to play in club sports doesn't mean that they'll necessarily "get what they pay for."
The lacrosse club in itsthird yearof existenceatLU has notwon amatchto date.
"There are a lot of discouraging things involved with not winning games. Sometimes I askmyself, 'Is it worth it?'"Wages says.
You pay.You play.
In away,club sports are sortof like videogames.You pay 25 cents, and you may score millions ofpoints;but you never get your investment back. You play.Youpay.

Monday , Feb 8,1988intheLibertyUniversity Gymnasium,a tradition continued, unaware ofitsimpending death Thirty seconds into the game, LU vs Longwood College, sophomore guard Bailey Alston spun into the lane and swished a onehanded jumper An electrified home crowd immediately let the paper fly, floodingthe floorwith toiletpaper and old copies of The Liberty Champion, the student newspaper.
Friday, Feb.12, was darkened by the announcement that the NCAA rules committee had ordained that any debristhrown onto the floorduring game play would cost the home team two technicals and the possession of the ball.Home crowd hysteria would have to find some other way to cheer the team.
That evening, Liberty faced the University of Pitt-Johnstown. After the firstbasket,a few roles sky-larked between fans in the bleachers,but nothing hit the floor.The paper tradition was dead.

Th e LU men's basketball team must have felt like HumptyDumpty. Two of the squad's players quit,three were injured on the court and one player was injured in a car accident on his way home Putting the team back together would have been hard enough, but all of these events happened within three weeks of the season's beginning
Meyer lost starter Brad Hamersley (seniorforward) toa ligament injuryin hiskneeduringagame againstIndianaSoutheast In that same game, reserve guard Timothy Scarborough and reserve forward Dan Perry both hurt their ankles Another starter, Jim Pierce injured knee ligaments in a car accident
That is enough to give any college coach heartburn and headaches
"Early in the year,we had high expectations and struggled with positive team chemistry,"head coach Jeff Meyer said."There seemed to be some unknown reason thatthisteam could not. We were mystified as a coaching staff.
"When thetwo team members decided to leave, our remaining players, for whatever reason, seemed to come together and begin to play with the kind ofpassionand commitment toour team that is necessary to compete successfully.
"The injuriesforced ustoplay with a very limited depth, and they affected oursubstitutionsand patternsandflexibility during the course ofthe game."
With all of their adversity, what turned the Flames around?
Four newcomers found theirway into the starting lineup for Liberty. They formed asolidlineupand gavethe team a push.

Athletics atLiberty isdependent in the athletes themselves
That may sound like a very generalstatement, ifnot obvious However, inourhastewe often fail totake a closelookatthem.More oftenthannot, we, theobserver, getcaughtup with the team and its pursuit ofvictory and lose sight of the individual.
Athletes deal with more than the pressure of winning and losing. They have schoolwork, coaches and training. Ifyou have not competed for Liberty,
you have littleor no knowledge ofthe players' feelings, goals and lifestyle
Yet,without the individual, there simply would be no athletic program
Hence, Selah 1988,in an attempt to focus on the individual in every aspect ofthe school,looks to the athlete The following individuals have been selected randomly from the hundreds ofathletes atLiberty They representthemajor and minor sports for both men and women. Their statements offer insight into the mindset ofthe athlete.
Ramon Scott: (left) football — "When I travel,Ihave to put everything into perspective.Ihave to do itfirst. Ittakes more concentration when Itravel,but I have to doit."
Ray McClanahan: (below left) Track "The thing that Ilike most about the sport isthe coach because he cares most about personal development and secondly about physical development."
Kristi Mercer: (below) Basketball — "I have mainly learned through basketball the principle not to quit and never give up. It has crossed over into different aspects of my lifeand Iam thankful for it."
Randy Tomlin: (above)Baseball
"I concentrate on two different things — one isthe game.The second most important one ismy testimony to otherplayers."
Kathy Guetterman: (above right) Volleyball — "Our coach,Sue Kelly, isnot like a buddy to us.She is willing to listen ifwe want to talk. I likethat in a coach.Ithink itmakes me a better person and athlete."
Daniel Owen: (right) Golf — "At tournaments,the other players ask a lotofquestions about Liberty and Jerry Falwell We are put on a platform as they watch us They have an idea of how a Liberty student should act Ihave to liveup to that plus play my best."
Gerald Swan: (left) Track — "I feelthat opposing teams put more effort into winning when they play Liberty than when they play other schools That means Iput more effort into the game."
Theresa Bream: (below left) Volleyball — "I think that other teams look to our team for encouragement as we work together as a team;we don't get mad or upset at each other."
Delethea Quarles: (below) Track "Track isso much of achallenge. It'sa lotof hard work which takes up considerable time.Ihave had to learn to divide my time between itand my studies."

Inyour room you grabapairof jeansand yourfavoriterugby. You spend twenty minutes fixing your hair, brushing your teeth and a hundred other little thingstoprepare yourself. Allthe time, you've been telling yourself how great it'sgoing tobe.
You're interrupted by the phone.You answer itwith a cheerful hello. Yes, you're ready now.You make plans to meet outside your dorm in five minutes.You're so excited you can hardly wait. Dinner is especially good. You can'thelp but wonder if it isn't the company.
The concertturnsouttobe even betterthan you'd first imagined. You thoroughly enjoyit and yourcompany. It hasbeen quite a night. You see your friend for lunch the next day and go to Showbiz Saturday night. You spend Sunday together. You like thewarmth. It seems so natural to be together
Activitiesare the events ofLiberty that the majority ofstudents enjoy and participatein.
You sittogether in chapel the following day. Dr. Elmer Towns talksabout how to make a success ofcollege life. Somehow,though histen points are good,he doesn't cover the points you'relearning from your friend
You never realizedthereweresomany interestingplaces to goand fascinating thingsto do in Lynchburg. School activitiesare a blast. You go to Homecoming together.At the game,when Miss Liberty drives by, he says,"You're-my-Miss Liberty."
You know he'scorny, but somehow southern charm is kinda nice. You're glad you're a part of Libertylife.
I t began with aphone callfrom the OfficeofStudentActivities Itwent on through luncheons,receptions, and interviewsand through along week of rehearsals: Stand up,smile, keep time to the music wonder when homework will bedone It culminated in a last-minute panic beforethe lights came up on the stage and the music began It ended when Dr Falwell announced,"And the new Miss Liberty is Alberta Couthen!"
Alberta Couthen smiles, remembering the Miss Liberty pageant
takethetimetofindouttheperson, not just look at thetitle."
Alberta's duties asMiss Liberty includespeaking inschoolassembliesand for such groups asConcerned Women for America, donatinghertimeto several benefits, and appearing in Lynchburg's Christmas parade.
Asked whatshesees asLiberty'smost important characteristic, Alberta replies, "Theschool isstructured ina Christian atmosphere and gearedtoward Christian principles. Studentsare allowed to grow here. There areguide-
pie, whom would you chooseand why?"
Couthen replied, "I would liketointerview Nancy Reagan,since she's the woman beside theman who runsthe country I would alsointerview Barbara Walters;someone should ask her questionsforachange Finally, Iwould like to interview Martin Luther King, Jr. There are many conflicting stories about him,and that would bethe only way toknow theman and whathestood for."
Now that allthe pressure and glitter ofthepageantis over, what doesAlber-
"Itwas alotoffun,"she says."Igot to know people I otherwise wouldn't have met I was nervous, butIcame tothepointwhere I knew God accepted me Whether the student body and judges voted for me was irrelevant."
Couthen, an elementary education major, planstoteach afterhermarriage tofiance Ed Stewart She willgraduate from Liberty inDecember of 1988
She pauses, considering her years here "When Ifirst entered Liberty, I was just a typical freshman," she says finally "Liberty had thebesteducation program of the Christian schools I looked at AndIknew the Lord wanted me here."
Couthen made herself at home at Liberty, gainingaspoton theSoundsof Liberty and interpreting for the deaf. "The Sounds take up alotoftime,"she says. "In my interviewwith thepageant judges, Mrs.Guillermin asked me whether the Sounds have been apositive or negative experience forme.I find that people look at me as a Sound rather than aperson.That carriesover toMiss Liberty aswell; I want peopleto
lines,but also freedom."
How does thataffecther personally?
She thinks fora moment. "Liberty allowed metogrow up. I have my weaknesses; I have asharp tongue, and I'm a mean person unlessI let the Spirit lead me. Iwas allowed tofailandfind my own wayin the Lord."
During the pageant interviews, judgesasked thecontestantstodescribe their greatest contribution to Liberty University. Alberta responded:"I've given the black young ladiesofLiberty University someone to identify with, given them hope forsuccess."
Students who attended thepageant were impressed with Alberta's poise. "She's aquick thinker,"said one, referring toheranswer tothe question, "What isa woman's place?" Couthen answered, "Idon't think shehas any one place She hasa duty to raise a family Or,if she and her husband think shecanbe effective inacareer, that's her prerogative."
Students were similarly impressed with heranswer tothe final question: "Ifyou could interview anythree peo-
ta think ofher position as Miss Liberty?
She smiles "I'm just a normal person,"shesays "God haschosen towork in my lifebecause I've allowed him to Allthe creditbelongstothe Lord Jesus Christ."

Fal l semester of 1987 atLiberty beganwith laughteras the Liberty Drama Department presented its interpretation ofthe "The Miser," a comedy byMoliere
The story centers around anold miser, Harpagon (Patrick Shouse), who out of greed for the almighty franc starveshisservants, declines thempay and cheatshisown children becausehe does not trust them with his money
The humor developsearlyintheplot when Cleante (Wayne Gray) and his sister Elise (Heather Crouch) discuss the distress ofwishing to marry someone ofwhom they are sure theirfather willdisapprove
Elise loves his father's valet,Valere (Scott Kennedy) and Cleante loves a girl who will be unable to provide a dowry because her father isdead.
The scene then switches to reveal that Harpagon is himselfinlove.However,the plot thickens when the audience discovers that he is inlove with Mariane (Pam Hurt), thesame girl that Cleante loves.
A romantic comedy is never complete without a matchmaker and Frosine (Kim Harris)does her best to fix Mariane up with themiser, in thehopes thathe willsoondieand make Mariane a richwidow.In ordertoconvince Harpagon tomarry Mariane, Frosine plays down the factthat Mariane iswithout dowry by emphasizing how simply Mariane lives and how much money she will save Harpagon.
Mariane,meanwhile, is unaware that Harpagon is Cleante'sfatherand is distressed to discover their relationship theday she is tobe married againsther wishes.
The same day Harpagon findshis hidden cache of money missing. He confrontsMasterJacques(DavidO'Brien), the cook and coachman, who blames thetheft on Valere andturns the tables ona long-standing rivalry.
The money,in actuality, isfoundby La Fleche (Alan Hyma),Cleante'svalet who gives itto Cleante sothat he can elope with Mariane before hisfather marriesher. Expressing surprise, (left) Master Jacques, played by David O'Brien, realizes he has the opportunity to turn the tables on Valere.
Photos by Kim DeMerchantContinued from page 141
Valere enters at the very moment Harpagon is issuing an arrest for him, but he thinks Harpagon is blustering about his intended marriage to Elise, rather than the missing money.
The misunderstanding continues as Valere professes his undying love for Elise and apologizes for his deception and as Harpagon continues to berate Valere for stooping so low as to steal from him
Harpagon finallyrealizesthathe and Valere are talking about two different subjects At the same time,the rest of the characters convene on stage In the confusion of everyone's loving people they cannotmarry and marrying people they do not love, Monsieur Anselme (JoelGarrett), the older man that Harpagon has arranged for his daughter Elise to marry against his wishes,enters
In the midst ofthe uproar,Monsieur Anselme attempts to sort out the mess and in the process discovers that Mariane and Valere are his long-lost children
Reunited, Monsieur Anselme gives his would-be wife,Elise, to his son instead.He also offersto pay offHarpagon ifhe will allow Mariane to marry Cleante.
Inthe end, everyone marries because ofloveratherthan money and theylive happily everafter.

The ministry ofLisaWelchel was significant,students felt,both musically and dramatically As Blair Warner on NBC's "Facts of Life," she has set a standard for future Christian actors Her unwavering stand has led her to
In addition,her own commitment to Christ came across as well Gary Molish, afreshman music major, found her concert inspiring "She made it clear that a Christian can maintain a career inthe secular world,influencing others through testimony and conversation," he said.
I f I didn't believe that every single personneeded toknow Christas his Savior,I wouldn't be doing what I do."Thisstatementby Carmen bestdescribes the prevalent attitude of this year's concert series. The impressive line-up
AtributetoCarman was madeby the administrator ofhisministry,Rosemary Jordan
"Carman hasarealheartfortheministry Just when he'sfeeling the pull of the world's success,he's taken a step back from itandrethought hispriorities."
His dark hair and New Jersey accent charmed some,but it was hispersonality that seemed to win the crowd The concert wasevidence that indeed the joy of the Lord ishis strength.
Truth,afavorite from the 1986 Miss Liberty pageant,returned foran encore
thisyear. Performing once again during Homecoming weekend, they became a favoriteofstudents, parents, and alumnialike.
"The message of their music speaks topeople ofallages,"said student Lisa Longo. "My parents enjoyed the concert as much asI."
The musicofDavid Meece provideda fitting capstone to theyear's concert series.
Bob Burnett, asenior, saw Davidperform at last year's Junior-Senior Banquet
"Iwas excited to hear he was coming
again.His concert touched everyoneat the banquet.The lyricsofhissongsare both convicting andencouraging."
Student Activities Coordinator Bev Buffington and herassistants wanted Colossians 3:16 to summarize their 1987-88concertseries: "Let the word of Christ dwell inyourichly inall wisdom;teachingand admonishing oneanother inpsalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
O n Jan 22,1988, studentsofLibertyUniversity, LCA and members of Thomas Road Baptist Church helped torecognizeand protest theRoe vs. Wade decisionof1972. The decision made abortion legal on demand. The March forLife was held in Washington, D.C., and covered two miles as protestors headed toward the Capitol building.
Under thesponsorshipoftheLiberty Godparent Home, students joined an estimated 60,000 other people in the protest. Demonstrators were invitedto express their feelings on the Life vs. Choice issue. Liberty student June Moss said, "We spoke for those who could not speak forthemselves."
When the march came to itsclose, severalyoung women who had decided pro-lifespoke out,allofwhom wish to remain anonymous:

"I oncethoughtitwasadisagreement between the church and pro-choice Now I realizethatit is much more than that Itisa movement in which many people from many backgrounds areinvolved There isso hope for our children."
When theRoe vs. Wade desision was made,prominent political figures stated that pro-life people would settle down. On January 22,it was proven that they willnot.

On August 1, 1987, ten Liberty students took their first steps into the Turkana tribal region ofnorthern Kenya In the four months that followed,the students sharedthe work andplay,the joy andsorrow of the region'speople
Working under theauspices of the African Inland Church and Pioneers Mission,the Liberty Pioneers devoted themselves to reaching the Turkana people for Christ.They painted walls and scrubbed floors.They ran wirefor electriclightingduring the day and deliveredbabiesby lanternatnight.They taughtBibleintheKalokolschoolsand opened anew school for deafchildren. They preached under thatched roofs and gave their testimonies inopen air ^^™^ Sporting a "titan" t-shirt

Bill Hawkins,1987 team member (aboveleft) ayoung girl returns toher nearby village.Thi s year thestudent body and faculty were served with awellrounded selection of chapel speakers. Anyone,with atasteforvariety, would have enjoyed Liberty'sarray ofmessages throughout the fallsemester.
Speakers included: Josh McDowell, Bruce Wilkinson, George Sweet, Bill Henderson, Elizabeth Eliott, Freddie Gage, John MacArthur, Truman Dollar, Tom Mahairas, Tony Compolo and, of course,Jerry Falwell.
The individuality of each speaker was evidenced even in the introductions. Bitsofinformation given, regarding the day's speaker, included everything from his accomplishments to his friendship with the person who wasintroducing him
The topicsaddressed by each speaker were asvaried asthe lifestylesofthose who delivered them Onecould be as-
sured, however, that they all heldat least one common factor,the underlying theme andtie tothe gospel Each message addressed aneed that iscommon to college students Itisprobable that not every message was applicable to every student, faculty or visitor However, onecanbesure that theinformation was retained orshared with others Generally speaking, refreshment was always abenefitofchapel, as it was areprieve from the hectic life of school
Subjects ranged from dating lives to academic successes, from integrityto worship Each sermon provided eithera rebuke ora reminder tobeapplied in the daily life of each person The changes that were produced in the hearts and lives ofthe students were apparent to everyone.

Your life is a wreck. All you do is study and sleep and eat and then study some more. Your eyes are stained red. Your fingersare swollen from writing so much You noticethat your backside is growing likea killertomato and your middlelike an inner tube.You stilldon't know what iswrong.
Then your roommate shows you thelight. He isactivein atleast a dozen clubsand organizations and never hastime to justsit and vegetate. You know thatthere has tobe something tothis organizations thing and you set offto find out what.
Armed withyourpersonalcopy of the Liberty Way, you begin to look at allthe clubs Liberty offers. You startwith Alpha Lamda Delta and work your way to YouthQuest. What you find is an entirely new world of fun and work,dedication and friendship.
You find that, instead ofsitting and staring atoff-whitecinder blocks, you canbe outridingwith theWheels of Liberty or lobbying with the College Republicans.You discover that beyond the library you can get involved with the Concert Choir or theyearbook You are amazed at thepossibilities
Itis then that you discover the hardest part ofbeing involved with thecolorful-organizations life. It is choosing which organization or organizations you want to be involved with. You know from the example set by your roommate that you need to limit yourself. Six is really pushing the limits ofthe human mind and body. So you begin the elimination process.
You know you have avoicelike arustywheel and area political non-activist Your gradesare respectable but definitely not honor club. Your firm belief that business is greatforthose who can balance a checkbook cancels the business clubs. You stillhave a lotto choose from though and decide finally on an organization.
You excelled intheclub and even became an officer. Through your organizations experience you met not only some of your closest friends, but also your future spouse. You have only one regret — that you didn't become involved earlier.

Color Guard's flashy 20-minute halftime show took hours of practice outside ofthe performance to perfect In addition to the14 hours ofpractice time each week, the girls returned toschooltwo weeksearly in thefall to learn thefundamentals that made uptheirroutines
In thespring of 1988,Color Guard began special aerobic classes specifically designed tomeet the flexibility, endurance, strength and coordination needs of thegirls
The materialfortheirblack sequined costumes was purchased outoftheColorGuard budget.It was then made into uniforms byaseamstress whodonated her time as agiftto Liberty.The girls purchased their own matching accessoriesincluding shoes, jewelry and makeup. They alsomade suretheirhairstyles matched when they performed.
The girls made their own rings, streamers and banners.They changed flags from last year because, made of fragile material, the banners were
shredded by the end ofthe season from regular use Thesame poles were kept from year toyear andonly newflags were purchased
Color Guard chooses its flags to go along with itsroutine Itavoids school colorflagsthatwould blend inwith the band. Instead, itstrives to be showy and distinctivefrom the other halftime performers.
In 1983, when the Liberty Marching Band and Color Guard marched in Macy's Thanksgiving DayParade, the Color Guard was chosen toescortSanta Claus because of its superior performance.
Color Guard wasdirected by David Legg, a Liberty senior.Active inband throughout high school and college, Legg isnow acolorguard instructorfor high schools during the summer. Much ofhis knowledge about movement, ballet and choreography comes from his sisterwho is aprofessional ballerinain New York City.

"Waiting on the Robert E.

Mr.Locy added theColor Guard this year "topresent an enhanced fresher look"because hebelieved the blacksequined uniforms and graceful ballet provided "dramatic silhouettes"onthe field. The ladiesadmitted theseemingly effortless movement did not come
automatically. It tookhoursofpractice. All band members arrived atcollege two weeks prior to classes for band camp which consisted of13concentrated hoursofpracticeevery day. Sessions dropped tosixhoursaweek whenclasses began.Because of the strenuousrequirements, allband members received scholarships.
Besides having Linda Cooper as his assistant director, Ray Locy wasalso assisted by Keith Currie,David Legg, Brett O'Donnell,andMark Peltz; field commanders Don Leonard, Steve Maule, andDiana Nantz;andstudent officers Cindy Mariage, Dave Tuttle, Daniel Watson,Mike Burgess and Cindy Church.

Professor Soden had come through reconstructive surgery on hisleft hip only afew months earlier. Hethen had relief from crippling pain for the first dme inyears.

man of the speech department from 1982 to 1985.
Jennifer McLeod, class of '88,called him "themost considerate andself-sacrificing teacher I've ever had. He unselfishly devoted histime and energies tohisstudents. Thiswas notaman who considered teaching apart-timejob."
Professor Merle Ziegler said, "His outstanding characteristic was his tranquility ofspiritwhich came as aresult ofhisunderstanding thatGod is always incontrol Thus,whatever theobstacle, whether vastorminute, hefaced it with an exceptionally calm assurance."

This isthe Liberty Way, the university's official student handbook.The rules itcontains areone province of the administration. Its role, however,ismuch more extensive than creating andenforcing the rules you abide by.
You,asthe student,see theadministration asWinston Churchill said, "A riddle wrapped ina mystery inside an enigma." However,a closer look reveals that there ismore there than that.
For example,youdo not see thehours of planning andwork that gointoeach individual class before it is even added to the schedule. You do notseethe hours ofcounseling that members ofthe administration give the student body. You are unaware ofthe time invested in making life better forthe individual at Liberty.
You don't realize how important the administration is to the functioning ofLiberty. Comprised ofPresident A. Pierre Guillermin and seven vice presidents,the administration takes on the task of converting the dreams ofChancellor Jerry Falwell into reality.They oversee thedetails ofeach project undertaken by theuniversity to insure that itfufills the original objectives.
You have never taken the time to look closely atyour administrators forthetasks they perform The majority ofthe time you are oblivious ofthem. Stopping tothink about it, yourealize that what they dohas a purpose.They aremaking Liberty a place — for you.
Jerr y Falwell has been committed to Liberty University since its conception in 1971. Although he hasdiversified and touched many areas ofthe life ofour nation sincethattime, he made a definite move back to his first love. His resignation from both PTL and from the Moral Majority/Liberty Federation gave him time to refocus onthe university Building on the foundation he had already made, he wanted to set goals for the future
A primary concern for this year has been planning for the new Thomas Road Baptist Church which, withits 10,000-plus seating capacity,willbenefit the university In the fallhe initiated acampaign to raisenecessary funds He climaxed his "Rise Up andBuild" program with a series ofbanquets for church members
Another concern for theRev Jerry Falwell andthe Board ofTrustees has been the need forpurchasing additional property toachievetheadditional room
required for new dormitories They hope that by the1988-89 school year they will have thefacilities that will put nomore than three upperclassmen in a room
A third concern of the Chancellor is the university's academic status "Liberty's dedicationtoacademic excellence is perpetual," he claims "Our faculty hasbecome much strongeroverthepast threeyears."
A fourth vision isthe school's move intoDivision Iinallsports."Ifeelthat we should have little trouble moving into Division IAA sports in the fall of 1988.Many ofour programs arealready on their waytorespectability in Division Iplay," he says. "Recruitinghas been enhanced by theHancock training facility aswell asnationally televised Liberty sporting events.
"It isimportant to remember," he says, "that construction here started only ten yearsago. W ehad 48buildings and an enrollment of approximately
5000 resident students in the fallof 1987.
"It is my opinion that within ten years Liberty will have a resident enrollment exceeding 12,000 undergraduate students with very large graduate and vocational programs.
"We will have moved into our new Thomas Road sanctuary andthe students will once again be worshiping with the local members Our academic offeringswill alsobegreatlyenhanced."
The Chancellor believes hehas built a strong base for Liberty, not only through the academic and athletic channels ofthe school but also through his involvement in national issues He strives tobe an example of perseverance and dedication to the student body
way that you,the student, can assist Liberty in achieving its goals," hesays
"Your commitment to excellenceis the greatest

Th e history of Liberty University has been a chronology of miracles and accomplishments,"according toDr PierreGuillermin, an associate of Dr Falwell's for overtwenty yearsand presidentofLiberty University
"While other colleges and universities have historically been built on years and years of small calculated steps,God has seen fitto bless and advance us in leaps and bounds," Dr. Guillermin says.
Dr. Guillermin believes that Liberty Universityhasexperienced many major accomplishments since it was established in 1971.Among theseare:
the national and international statureofthe studentbody and alumni which now represents all50 states and 34 foreigncountries.
the achievement of receiving accreditation in 1980 through which Liberty University was recognized for its integrity, its competence,and the ability to provide high academic standards and a quality education in an atmosphere of Christian learning.
the acceptance ofLiberty Universityintothemembership oftheNational Collegiate Athletic Association and itsmove into Division Iproviding LibertyUniversitytheopportunity tocompete against major collegesand universities and several of its graduates to participate in professionalathletics.
the building and development of the 5300 acre campus on Liberty Mountain
"However, the greatest blessings we have experienced are the liveswe have seen changed, the champions forChrist we have trained,the young people we have seenmature intheChristian faith, and the graduates we have sent into all walks of life and to all corners of the world These young people are changing the course of history and reaching the world for Christ," concluded Dr Guillermin Inall ofthis Dr Guillermin has played a very significantpart
Dr Guillermin exemplifiesalife dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in American Christian higher education He has been instrumental inbuilding a Christian university, accredited and capable of competing with respect and credibility in the academic arena. He has shown himself to be not only are-
spected and recognized educator, but also a man of action and resolve who has contributed to building a premiere institutionontheleadingedgeofChristian education today.
On amore personalnote, Dr. Guillermin is excited about the success our graduates have experienced in effectively integrating their faith with their learning,thereby producing a positive response from their associates in the various fields in which they have become involved.
As member ofthe Board ofDirectors for the Chamber of Commerce, the United Way and the Rotary Club,Dr. Guillermin says that the Lynchburg community has been well pleased with the student body "Our students are held in high regard in work-related environments Businesses want Liberty University graduates as employees." Some political science and business graduates told him recently that "our graduates are more prepared to meet the challenges of life than those from other Christian colleges."
One of the reasons that Dr. Guillermin feels our students are betterprepared is that Liberty University believes "preparing leaders for tomorrow begins on campus today." Itis important that students see examples of effective leadership responsive to the needs ofothers This was demonstrated by Dr Guillermin's "Liberty Leadership Listens" campaign, a process whereby administration, faculty, staff and students could voicetheirconcerns and needsdirectlytohim "Ifoundthat many valid concerns were expressed and suggestionswere made inthe spirit of constructive criticism,"he says
If students learn nothing else from their Liberty experience, Dr Guillermin would liketo have them leave the University knowing "how to livethe Christian lifeina world ofchange."He would liketo see graduates become activealumni asrecruitersfortheUniversityand asfinancialsupportersoftheir alma mater.
Yo u slipinto the classroom a minute-and-a-half late. Sweat beadsyour forehead. You head towards your seat, trying to be as quiet as possible.Then,he does it — the same guy thatdoesit every time someone tries tocome inlate He clears his throat
"Ah!"The professor is happy with himself. He calls your name. You stop dead,and address the podium.
"Well,"the professor begins, "what do we have here? Couldit be,oh,say,someone who islate?" His voice inflexes on thelast syllable. This is the traditional question for everyone hecatches.
"Yes, sir." Your face is burning red Suddenly yourshoesfeel too tight You would lovejust to crawl out of the room
"Would you liketotell us where you've been?" You'd think he was mean if he didn't have a twinkle in his eye.
You explain, much to the amusement ofthe class, how theice cream lineinthe deliwas longer than normal.You gotcaught up init and losttrack oftime. At length, he allows you to take your seat At the conclusion of the class, he calls you up frontand asks you to his office
Back inthe privacy ofhisoffice, he asks if you understand his reasoning. You admitthatyou don't. His explanation follows. It is important, he explains, thatone notonly gotoeach class but also to be there on time
"It teachesresponsibility,"he says. "Besides, I careabout you." He pointsoutthat, as thesemesterprogresses, therewill bevery few,if any,students coming in late.
As the semester wears on,you notice that no one does come in late. You alsomake repeated visits toyour professor'soffice, feelingfree toapproach him about class material orpersonal matters. He isalways glad to help in any way he can.
As the term ended,you noticed that your relationship was no longer one ofstudent-professor. Ithad progressed to the levelof friends.You look at the times you were in his home for a meal or tutoring. You have learned from him equally inside as well as outside the classroom.You know a professor doesn't have to go out of his way tohelp, butat Liberty, faculty members seem concerned with theindividual.
You like the personal approach You like it when a professor really cares for you and
B about you. It's different.
Th e College of Arts and Sciences offers majors in four divisions: Applied Sciences, Fine Arts,Natural Sciencesand Mathematics, and Social Sciences. Skillsacquired inthese areasarevalid forwork in contemporary fields Liberty University wants to produceeffective workersinall fields and the College ofArts and Sciences is an ex-
tension of that commitment.
Three computer science laboratories expose students to research experiences in their chosen field of study Musical groups and on-campus ortraveling drama teams sharpen students' artistic and performing skills The militaryscience program offers those enrolled an opportunity to receive a

Sixty percent of the facultyintheCollege of Arts and Sciences hold earned doctorates Members of the music faculty participateregularly in outside productions Many faculty members are writing papers and articlesfor publication.
Fo r the past 16 years Dr. J.T. Houk has commuted from Falls Church, VA to teach economics at Liberty University. In those years, he'sdriven aquarter ofa millionmiles. For the same mileage, he could have driven around the world 16 times!
However, the time spent in his car hasnotbeen wasted. He'sspenttheride listeningtothe 300 lecturehours ofthe Home Bible Course."Next toRev.Falwell,Dr. Harold Willmington has had the greatest impact on my life The Home Bible Course isthe best education I've ever received."
Dr Houk proudly displays his Founder's ringashe talksofjoiningthe staff in 1971 "While teaching at the University of Virginia, I heard Rev Falwell say on the radio that he was planning tostartacollege Igotexcited about being abletoteach inaChristian setting
"Although the founding days seem slightly glorious in our reminiscence, there were some major difficulties in the beginning My firstclasswas inthe
Thomas Road BaptistChurch building. We were one of the lucky classes. We got to meet in the baptismal dressing rooms." The lessfortunate classes met in hallways.
Since then, Dr. Houk has had the honor of teaching the first course on videofortheSchoolofLifeLong Learning. He's alsowritten hisown textbook, Basic Economics. The cover shows a long line offish, each being eaten by a larger fish.The caption is a quote for which he hopeshisstudentswillalways remember him: "There's no such thing as a free lunch — someone always pays."
Incomparison tohisstudentsatUniversity ofVirginia, Howard University, and William and Mary,he believesthe students at Liberty University are superior "I think it's becauseoftheir attitude The students are Christians and they really want togetan education It makes quite a difference."

Th e Liberty University School of Communications embraces five departments thatoffer Bachelor ofScienceandBachelor of Arts degrees. With individual departments inEnglish,Modern Languages, Journalism, Speech Communications, and Telecommunications, it offers all students the basic liberal arts of communications and prepares communicationprofessionals
The School of Communications offers
benefits such as stateof-the-arttelevision, radio and journalism production facilities, an interscholastic debate program, the "Liberty Champion" student newspaper, and "Selah," Liberty's yearbook.
Because of the liberal arts nature of the program, minors in English, speech, journalism and modern languages complement many majors inprofessional areas,like business and education
Careful choices have
been made in appointing faculty for the School of Communications. Fifty-one percent hold earned doctorates, 20percentmore haveat least 30hourspast their master's degrees and several are published authors.Dr.Fred Haas, a professor in telecommunications, installed the first educational television system for the country of Brazil Dr. Olga Kronmeyer has gained notablerecognition for herpoetry
Professor Albert Snyder,aformer missionary of20years,came to Liberty in 1976 He spent 17 yearswith ELWA radio station, broadcasting in36 African languages Later he spent three years establishing the Caribbean Radio Lighthouse in Antigua
He feltthe Lord leading himhere to help teach and train. On arrivalatLiberty, he taught telecommunications classes for four years.
He is responsible for establishing WRVL in 1980 and managed the station for twoyears. He helped to start
the Liberty Champion and has also contributed tothe growth of the telecommunications department.
Snyder assisted Dr.Dennis Lowry starting the journalism departmentin 1982.In1987,heearned anEd.Degree from Nova University.
Professor Snyder has established many things through his lifetime. His investment in the people ofAfrica and the Caribbean, the students andacademics ofLiberty have all been with onepurpose, "tomake an impactonthe world forChrist."

The School of Education is one of the very few Christian,fullyaccredited and state-approved programs inthe country Many Christian colleges are not able to meet the requirements setforsuch accreditation and approval. Because Liberty meets all accreditation requirements, graduates are able to receive state teaching certificates necessary for teaching in public schools and beneficial
for teaching in Christianschools
The faculty for the School of Educationis uniquely qualified to teach. More than 40 percent hold earned doctorates and have been educated in some of the finest institutions. They have received their doctoral degrees from such noted schools as Virginia Tech, Arizona State University, Southern Mississippi and the University of Michigan
I'd like to be remembered for my consistency I'd like my students to see an example of consistency in Christianity rather than the mountain top experiences we encounter in our lives."
Dale Gibson has been a consistent supporter and leader at Liberty from Day One. "One of the influences that ledme tohelp begin Lynchburg Baptist College was a personal view from Dr. Guillermin." ***.
While serving as the student body president of Bryan College during his senior year, he realized Jerry Falwell had also influenced his decision to join the staffof LBC.
"Iwas already familiarwith the ministries ofThomas Road BaptistChurch. While growing up in Roanoke, Va.,I had watched the developments of the ministry ofthe Old-Time Gospel Hour. It left quite an impression on me because Rev.Falwell talked openly about subjects which were hush-hush at my house."
His main reason forstaying atLiberty for 11 years is the students. "They
have a vitality which energizes me. There is alsoaconstant sense ofanticipation that something isabout to happen on this campus.Because ofthis, I'm always invigorated.It'salmost likeI've been shot with adrenalin."
Although he has been the directorof physicaleducation and coached thenational championship basketball team, he feels that his greatest contribution has not been an athletic endeavor.
"My greatestcontribution is thatI've never been complacent in the workplace.I'm constantly setting new goals for myself. In my opinion, the more personal goals I can attain, the more notoriety for our school."
One ofhisgreatestjoysis toseegraduates return with spouse and children. For him, students are a source ofpersonal and professional satisfaction. To those who were and are currently studentsofhis, he is more than aprofessor He isa friend,a mentor, a motivator, and, most importantly, a consistent man of God

The library isorganized into three departments Materialsareordered, catalogued and processed in
technical services before being placed on the shelves for student use. Reader services consist of reference, circulation, periodical, inter-library loan, curriculum and archival functions. Media services emphasizes institutional technology and has music and language laboratories,a production room, audiovisual classrooms, listening stations and carrels for individual study
Besides its developing
collection, Liberty subscribes to ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) and isa member of SOLINET (Southeastern Library Network) whichgives students ready accessto large university and research libraries Liberty isa member of DIALOG whichallows the use ofmore than 200 data bases ina wide range ofsubjects Inaddition, CAVALIER provides information on 2,000,000 titles.
• 1 rnest Liddle accepted the w~i challengeofbuilding a library
1 J in 1978when hecame toLiberty At that time thelibrary contained only about 95,000 volumes Today, nine years later,ithas more than 275,000
"Itisamiracle within themiracle of Liberty," he explains Liddle, who immigrated from North Ireland in 1951, isaprofessional librarian. He isincharge of thelibrarystaff, consistingof70persons,40ofwhom arestudents
The past academic year has seen the librarytakesome largesteps forward under his direction. Thelibrary established hook-ups with the East Library Network (ELN), DIALOG and afacsimile system This provided a greater opportunity to thestudent body to access information not readily available within the library
itself This was in addition to the some 20,000 volumes that Liberty is adding yearly tothecollection.
Liddle finds developments in the library exciting He likes to see things grow and develop.
"I'd like to see us double our square footage," hesaid."A new library (aseparatebuilding) is desperately needed." In addition, hewould liketosee thelibrarycontinue to ex-
pand itstechnological capabilities
Improvements instaffsize and quality are also items high onhis list
However,with allofhisgoalsand dreams forthe library, Dr Liddle has hisown aspirations
"The primary concern inmylife is thatIwant togetcloseto theLord. I am always concerned that my heart iswith God,"he said Daniel Dombak

Th e Liberty UniversitySchoolofReligion offers studies pointing toward Bachelor ofArts, Bachelor of Science, Masters of Arts,Masters ofReligious Education and Doctor of Ministry degrees. The School also includes the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. The four main areas of study offered are Christian Thought, Pastoral Ministries, Cross-Cultural Ministries and Religion and
Church Ministries.
Liberty University students who are studying under the ministerialprograms have the advantage of listening to and being taught by men who have proven records of accomplishment intheministry. Dr.Elmer Towns,dean of the School, is the author ofmore than 50books and isa well-known authority on church growth and effective Sunday Schools. Special sessions with the Rev. Jerry Falwell, such
as the Super Conference and pastoralseminars, enhance the School ofReligion.
More than 80percent of the religion faculty hold earned doctorates and many have two. They havebeen trainedby some of the finest educational facultiesatsuchschools as Dallas Theological Seminary, Oxford University, the University of Southern Californiaand Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
Durable . Dedicated.Consistent. These words characterizeDr. CarlDiemer, Liberty'sassistant dean ofseminary and tennis coach
"Seeing students graduate from this university and becoming successful in their ministries is most rewarding," says the 18-year veteran professor at Liberty "That iswhat motivates me."
He has seen hundreds of successful students graduate Since his arrival in 1973,theschool's enrollmenthas grown from several hundred to more than 8,000(includingtheSchoolofLifeLong Learning)
"The school's rapid growth and the extensivedevelopmentofthe mountain campus aretwo ofthemost memorable changes that I've seen," the 1960 Virginia Tech graduate says
He believes God's work here today and Liberty's challenging academic program create an atmosphere appealing to the Christian student.
Thesesame attributesalsoinfluenced Diemer when he decided to resign his
position as pastor of a church in St. Louis,MO, in 1973.He then moved to Lynchburg where he was influenced by the school's spiritualdepth.
"I was called and invited to teach here, and I feltlikeit was God'swill for me to come.As long asthe Lord wants me here,I'llcontinue teaching."
Inadditiontoteaching,thetime-tested professor has more recently been busy developing a first-ratetennisprogram at Liberty He founded it four years ago and believes it is becoming increasingly stronger
"We have a quality program right now, but we hope to improve and to attracteven stronger players inthe future."
Since the beginning of his career at Liberty,Carl Diemer has added much totheschool Whether intheclassroom or more recently on the court,he has been helpful asthe school continues to expand and grow

Her poem, "For the Bitberg Dead" silences audiences. Writing to commemorate the death of Leon Klinghoffer,the man in the wheel chair on the Italian cruise ship, the "AchilleLauro" (hijacked off the coast of Egypt), she was struck by the symbolism of that murder. Of all the people thePalestinianscould have killed, they chose a Jew who they thought was a victim — a cripple who could not help himself.
"And everyone stood around and watched," she says.She was struck by the parallels to Calvary.
She uses metaphors to control her freeverse medium. She wants herlines to end with strength. Her accentsfall
on thelast syllablesand her words (she quotesJohn Donne)"must have muscle and tissue,"not flabby flesh.
Social comment, as in "Bitberg,"is only partofthe fabricofher work. She wants her poems to glorify God's work and to be "good" in the sense that He saw His work and said,"It isgood."
Born inPassaic, NJ,though shecalls herself a New Yorker for allthe years she lived there,she came to Liberty in 1977. She was curious to learn what teachingataChristiancollegewould be like. She had done undergraduate work at Seton Hall (Roman Catholic) and had received Christasher Savior when she was twelve, but she had never worked closely asa teacher withChristianstudents.
Here she found teachers more concerned for students,often going out of their way to keep students who were failing in class.She calls it nurturing
and feels at home in a school such as this
That same nurturing shows up in her poetry She wants her readertogrowin virtue, inadeeper understanding ofhis own sinful nature and of the factthat the unsaved may be redeemed
"Most of my poems have something to do with redemption," she says
When you read her poetry, you know shehashad experienceinacademicand traditional cultures.You know an educated person with experience inthe Bible has been at work.
"I want to put words together in a powerful way.It'sa shame nottousea talent He has given . ..
"I want to bring people to Him to worship and love Him. That's why my poetry has to have power," Professor Kronmeyer says.
How shall we kill the Jew? That's legal, kill notmurder Cursethis stage! Few props it bears No crosses fit for Jews; no man-size ovens; only gallows — makeshift crossbars to swing murderers, not a Jew Round up the actors
Let the Gentiles construct a crucifix, form the wings No, work below the boards, below the stage, under the deck in hell
Imagine Egypt's suns oversee you while slaving like hopeless Israelites, you Gentiles raise up a frame for a pyramid Yes, the Jew clings to Yaweh. He's crippled.He identifies himself as a father, too. Cut off the scene.Call the Gentiles above. A cripple with bleeding limbs and a mother weeping for him and her daughters ispitiable.Carry the Jew. No,bring
him in a chair Better yet, let the cripple wheel himselfin The Jew'stoo bentto hold up his burden Bind together his hands and feet. No need to strip and fasten him. No need for whips. Mere beatings shall silence hissoul's noise. Let rain fall upon earth's hard clay. Enough. Make these Gentiles cast him like anet, wheeled chariotand all, intothe empty orchestrapit, Yaweh's ocean, down into the rightside. No prayers, noofferings. Our play is done. Yaweh, who killed the Jew? Not You, who pastures manna. Nor my tongue and words. Yet my hand turns over my eyes and offers the promised land to You, Abraham's God, our God. I shall not hang myself like tearful Judas.

Internships gave students first-hand experiences, contactsforfutureemployment, political opportunities and resume credentials.
The officesin which Liberty interns have served have applauded theirwork. Some claim that Liberty providesthe best interns they've ever had.
In January,1986, Dr.A. Pierre Guillerminassignedthetaskofreorganizing the university's internship program to Dr. Dennis Fields. Mr.Lew Wieder, who hadserved inthe internship program as aliaison in Washington while an undergraduate at Liberty, was brought intocoordinate the newprogram from Liberty'sperspective
Prior to 1986, students were fully funded for three academic hours by Moral Majority The new programwas expanded tosixhoursofgeneraleducation study Thestudents nowpay for theprogram and itis becoming agraduation requirement in various schools Each school recruits itsown interns
To build acomplete Liberty University internship program, Mr Wieder and Dr Fields brought together the deans andfaculty ofthe Universityto form an Internship Committee and Mr Wieder took the deans to Washington to meet governmental officepersonnel
In 1987, Liberty's Internship program went national andwas offered to other Christiancolleges.
Liberty offered academic creditfor theinternshipprogram inthefollowing areas: politicalscience, business, television/radio production,journalism, education,history,secretarial scienceand religion.
Eve r since the Center for CreationStudiesandthe Museum of Earth and Life History opened oncampus in 1986,thestaff has eyed growth andexpansion. Dr. Lane Lester, professor of biology, serves as director and James Hall, associateprofessorofnatural science, as associatedirector. Sincethemuseum's Day One,thetwo men along withtheirco-worker, Dr Alton Murray,have added exhibits Onesuch addition came from work done in South Dakota during thesummerof 1987
At the invitation of a Christian rancher, Drs Murray and Hall spent July exploring theman's Badlands range Using a cabin and a fourwheel drive vehicle heprovided, the team was able tocollecteightcrates offossilspecimens
"The Badlands are famous for mammal fossils,"Hall says "In fact, you'll find oneofthe richest fossil deposits inthe world there."
Once aspecimenwaslocated, excavation began
"The objectwastoremove the entire specimen embedded inthesurrounding rock," Hall explains. "We wrapped the fossil formations in plasterjackets andshipped them to Lynchburg.
"We were able to negotiate with threerailroadstoshipthecrates free of charge."
The Badlands collection arrived safely inAugust.
Using his expertise he developed during his27 years with the Smithsonian Institute, Dr. Alton Murray
(oneofonly sixpersons inthecountry competent todo this) removed the plaster jackets from the fossils and then freed each fossil fromits surface rock.
Students and visitors to campus from Lynchburg andacross the nationwereabletowatch theteam prepare thenewfossilspecimens in the Center's preparation room.
The South Dakota specimens turned outtobe theremains of four large extinct turtles andoneextinct rhinoceros. As the specimens were completed, they were added to the growing display inthe museum, located in the DeMoss Learning Center.
The museum isopen tothe student body and public.
Atension fills the room. You try to grasp it. It's somewhere

You sitrigidly. The black robe you are wearing seemsincreasinglyuncomfortable. Your mortar board hasatendency toslip off tothe left. You try toperch it back up top to no avail. You know that theshoesyou'rewearing are toosmall, butthey were the only pair that matched
Your mind simply can'tstop itsendless reeling. It jumps from your new job tothe memories you've accumulated atLiberty the past fouryears. It also pondersexactly how you made it to the seat you now occupy.There's so much.
And then the address. You vaguely follow it. Your mind simply won't pay attention The times in the dorm and the fun with roommates The gradesand the classes The time outside of class You wish you could just stop and take itall in.
You stand, ready toreceivethatpieceof paperyou'veworked so hard for.You know that you'll trip and fall while crossing the platform. It'smore than a fear;it's almost truth.
Your name isread and offyou go,every step placed just right. You make itto the man and the paper In hand, you fillwith unspeakable excitement You've made it!
Your senior year was something else.Itwas a good time — a time tolearn and grow.You think you're ready forthe world, but thedoubts still linger. You reallywonder if the world is readyfor you.
Back in your seat you wait for the ceremony to end and you take just a minute toreflect on the times you've enjoyed at Liberty. You know that once away,you'll miss it.
You made Liberty something differentevery yearthat you invested in it Whether it was a differenceina room or a roommate or something campus-wide, you know that without you or any other of the seniors it simply would not have been the same.
YOU made Liberty a special place.

Dorm life leaves a few things to be desired,but you overlook them. Everyone elsedoes.
Roommates also leave a few things to be desired. But, here again, there are things you have to overlook.So your roommate does like to leavepiles of dirtyclothesscatteredabout Sothe men inthe room next door play the same tape over and over. So your two roommates love to talk into the morning hours.What would dorm lifebe without these wonderful things?
The dorm is a place to study and sleep, but it also hasfurther opportunities for you. You participate in hilarious waterfights. You dump cold water intothe shower and getthe same in return. You go on the Brother/Sister dorm outings You get the thrill of room jobs and making your bed.
Overall, you really do like dorm life It not only gives you something to complain about, but it'san experience and a good one at that. It's one of the many things that's made you the person you are.
You certainly know that many of the thingsyou are doing, like the water fights, are being ingrained in your memory for the delight of your grandchildren. It's not really that you're making all that much of asacrifice.
It's funny. You know there would have been no dorm life without — you.

Wha t was at least 21 years old, had three or four yearbooks and could find hisway around campus with his eyes closed? That's right;itwas a senior
The lifeofa senior in 5-1 was one of study, yet it was also one ofrelaxation and enjoyment ofwhat was to come in hisfinalyear
This was all done in a comfortable three to a room "apartment" which consisted of two all-night study desks,
usually a refrigerator and microwave (forallthose latenighthunger attacks) and threedecorativebedsthatwereseldom used
Each room prided itself on its uniqueness and individuality,and why not? Ittook three to four years toperfecteach one ofthem So how was life in 5-1? Pretty good, but everyone was looking forward to the day of graduation and to having a room to himself!

Several of ior these ladies have already attained degrees and are doing graduate work or are pursuing a change ofcareer asthe Lord hasdirected TheLord had drawn us together assistersthrough the bond of Jesus Christ to edify and serve one another and grow in fellowship with
It wasforthatpurpose thatour dorm was continually committed toHis keeping We prayed that each ofourlives would beyielded toHishonor andglory in whatever capacity He desired to use us and that we would always esteem Jesus Christ as the first love of our lives.
Dor m 12, otherwise known as Station 12,became ourcampus radiostation. We weretuned in to "The Rock."We chose Deuteronomy 32:4 as our theme verse. "He is the Rock." We were a fun-loving, odd bunch of guys who wanted to get to know God.Withouroff-the-wall sweatshirts, we wereeasilyidentifiedas part of WROK, Station 12 on the LU dial.
Together with our sisters from Dorm 26-1,we had a year to remember. Our station managers Ken Lambrich and Brent Howan ledtheway with asmall group of prayer leaders/discjockeys who brought"The Rock" totherest of the station 12audience. Station 12 ... tuned in to "The Rock."

Mark Shortt, RADor m 14is afamily, consistingof 75 guys from world-wide locations who are bound together by the love of God.
Dorm 14 stressesunity in allaspects ofdorm life. One example ofthisis hall meetings.A hall meeting in this dorm would giveaquestioning mind the solution to dorm 14'suniqueness
A typicalhall meeting atLibertyusually consists of announcements,testimonies, special speakers and maybe some good humor;but Dorm 14 hasall this and much more The key to our uniqueness is found atthe end ofevery hall meeting We show our love and unity inChristby closingeach meeting in prayer,gathered together in a symbolic circle praying to God with our brothers hand-in-hand
Our uniqueness is exemplified in John 3:30 which says, "He must increase, but I must decrease." The unity in our dorm comes only through the power of God
We love you,guys.

Successful people arethose people who have learned that thereis always a waytowin. Dorm sixteen is fullofsuccessfulpeople.Making up about three-fourths of the dorm's total residents, our new guys have shown themselvestobeintelligent, mature, fun-loving and involved.Many of them have been approached andasked to be involved with clubs likeSGA, singing teams and athletics. These freshmen are the promise of good things yettocome from ourside of the mountain.
To pass on this great legacy, Dorm 16's leaders cannot bematched! R.A.s Tim Pena andAble Whetsel;Spiritual Life Director TimFlynn;Prayer LeadersJimmy Jackson,Brian Scharp, Justin Boesch, Dave Slaboda, Jim Quill and Chris Crowe;Dorm Senators Buck Burch and Daniel Dombak; andActivities Director Jon Day arethekind of leaders that inspire confidence Among these guys and ourother upperclassmen, there are clubpresidents, class presidents and vice-presidents, talented musicians and outstanding athletes
Together in unity we have created a conducive environment forsuccessful champion development on our floor. No matter what theobstacles, however overwhelming the circumstances, with God on our side, we believe we can always find whatever it takes to be winners
Alan Whetsel Aaron HamrickMike and I were very privileged to have been a part of this dorm. We had a combination of baseball players and full-time students on this floor,and all of us got along well.
Our entire varsity baseball team stayedon this floor It wasour joy to see them not only excel on the field,but also in their Christian walk and their school work All of the men on 18-1 worked togetherwell. The only way you could tell baseball from non-baseball was when the team had on uniforms
Some of our best prayer leaders were baseballplayers
This isnot to say that we were perfect We did have our share of probems, of course; butIloved andappreciated the spiritofthe guys on this floor Iwouldn't have wanted tobe anywhere IS else
Ed Stewart, RA S Eyes sparkling (left), Mike Tatum reachesfor a "cool refreshing Mountain Dew."Althoug h the men of Dorm 18-2 come from many different backgrounds and have diversifiedabilities and interests, we strivefor unity From this basis we have a tremendous opportunity togrow and learn from each other
The men inDorm 18-2have different cultural backgrounds such as African, Spanish, Canadian, Scottish and English.All this enlightens and expands our knowledge and appreciation for others around the world.
Also,our floor represents several of LU'sintercollegiateathleticteams. The entire wrestling team, the soccer team andthemale cheerleaders resideon 182. Reaching people forJesus Christappearsto be their main focus.
Our floor has an excellent discipleshipstructure, consisting of committed and genuine prayer leaders who desire
to grow in the Lord and challenge others to do likewise All the men — seniors, juniors,sophomores and freshmen alike— have developed a closebond as we all enjoy spending time together, whether it be sharing asfriendsorplaying agame ofbasketball on the outdoor court
Of course there are times of rowdiness, craziness and wrestling in the dorm,asthesearenecessary forkeeping usfrom going insanefrom thepressures of university life. However, our main focus and priority is to be consistent and hard-working now, so that we can be better equipped to serve the Lord in the future.
Dor m 19-1 was an exciting place tobe! We had thelaughterof75 girls, the sound of instruments playing and singingteams singing, "I'm so glad I'm part ofthe family of God."
To topitall off,we hadtheconstant sound oflittleballs bouncing.We were an equal opportunity dorm, and we lovedit!

Julie Jacobs andYvette Guridy, RAs Friendship formed, as Missy Lee Behmer and Leah Welch shared their room, their belongings, and their lives.Contrast , diversity and uniqueness were definitely words that described the hall of 19-2.Other words that could have described us include caring, concerned, committed and dedicated.
Girls from all over — north, south, east, west and even Brazil andPeru — came toliveand learntogether.Despite allthe differences we hadwhen we arrived, we learned tolivewith each other even in the hard times. Many girls found forthe first time thatcollege was not all funand games. Itwaspartof growing upand sometimes that process
We learned early inthe semesterto reach outto each other on our hall. Many girls needed a friend, someone they could talktoand depend on.There was always someone we could reach out toif we were willingtobe afriend. Asa result, many life-long friends were made here on 19-2.
We also hada spirit of unity which extended beyond our dorm to our brother dorm We thought our "brothers" were thegreatest Thanks, guys, for a wonderful year!

Body sacrifice was the name, Intramurals were the game. Our ladies hadquite avoice, They got their win andMed-Choice.
Spiritually, our floor was sound, We stood onChrist,our solid ground. Pressing toward the higher mark, A greater calling to embark.
In a word, our hall was great, Any other was second rate. In His love we did abide, And Christ the Lord was glorified. Justine Thyret,RA

Secondly, we hadterrific dorm parents whowent out oftheir way just to let ourdorm know they sincerelycared. They were Vicki Funkhauser and her roommate,Vivian; Judy Brown and her son,Troy.
We will also always remember our friends,the crickets. They added a vitality andcolor to the regular routine.
Dorm 21-1 displayed a spirit of friendliness and unity. We feel our prayerleadersand spirituallife director played a tremendous part in bonding our dorm together All the credit and glory belongs to God alone
May we always stand strong and claim Joshua 1:8: "This book ofthe law shall not depart out ofthy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,that thou mayest observe to do according to allthat iswrittentherein: forthen thou shalthave goodsuccess."

Ever y RA on campusclaimed that his floor was the best I think thatourfloor hadsomething this yearthatI haven'tseenmuch ofinthe past, unity We had everything from freshmen toseniorfootballplayers, yet everyone looks out for the other. We tried throughoutthe year to make our theme, "We are one."
A lotofpeople on thiscampus have stereotyped ideasofthe footballteam, and most ofthem arewrong.The guys are caring, devoted to the Lord and good friends.We were greatbecauseof our praying and working together.I thank the Lord that I had a part in what He did thisyear on our floor.
Joe Valent, RAI t has been said that as one travels across the college campuses of life, one soon discovers the difference between a good floor and a greatone Well,dorm 22-3falls in thelatter
The men who made thefloorwhatit was were gathered from the four corners ofthe earth Some were ourfootball players, some were simply students, but all were championsl They made action the key to friendship and dorm unity Everything that happened on thefloorreflected thisfactfrom the hall meetings toprayer groups.
As the RAs,we saw a special condition in the dorm this year. We saw Christian character evidenced in the lifeofallofourguys.When thingsgot rough, we consoled our men with an ancient Chinese proverb, "Dorm life last a little while, but character last forever."
Brad Lau and Matt Phillips, RAs.
T o be completelyhonest, without any discrepancy,Dorm 23-2was undeniably the finest hall on campus Where else could you have found anicer-lookinggroupof talented musicians and superior athletes? Granted, other dorms may have had footballplayersorthefuture President ofthe United States,but nowhere else could you havefoundthehome of Liberty basketball. The team,along with LIGHT and theSoundsofLiberty, created a uniqueplaceto live.
What made 23-2 uniqueis something we called "teamchemistry."Thiswasa family-like attitude that existed between team members, the membersof the floor, and theRAs. Itwas afamily where mutual respect bred responsibility.
This floorhad itall. Itwas notonly closetoclasses, butit had a great view and ithad the family thatlived in it.

Jerry's kids came in many shapes and sizes, personalities and attitudes.As we came toknow many ofour hallmates, themany diverse personalities and lifestyles merged into lifetime friends and relationships.
As theyear progressed,we foundthe halltaking on a personality ofits own. The football players in their amusement picked on thesmaller guys, while the lightfooted track members turned the hallway intoan indoor track. Spiritualitywasevidentinmost ofthe hall's activities, whether individual or collective
Overall, we feel that 23-3 was the place to be this year We had a great view and a great hall When we look back, there will be no doubt in our minds that thiswas a life-changingexperience

Julie Harris, RADor m 25-2 is a unique floor in that thisis the first year that it has ever been inhabited by females. However, the uniqueness goes beyond that.Itis alsoa predominantly freshman floor with a few upperclassmen leading the pack.Itwould not be surprising to the girls of this floor to havethree firedrillsin oneweekconsistently at 8:00 a.m., or to come upon a turtle race inthe hall, or to hear some girl'stoad croaking in the bathroom
The girlson thisfloor are known as thetalkersof the campus Ineach room, the phone cord stretches to the point that it reaches right outside the door Each night the hall comes alive with one-way conversations until the wee hours
Looking past all the idiosyncrasies, the ladies of 25-2 represent a family, bonded in Christ Jesus When visiting the floor, one can feelawarmth of love and joy that comes from deep inside the heart of each girl Her beauty far surpassesher outward appearance and shines from within.
The ladiesin each room have built a relationship of love for one another, even though there were times when they thought they could not even get along. God showed His love through each of them. This floor has displayed a unity only God could give.
The end ofthe year has arrived and each will go her separate way,but she will notleave25-2without having been loved or touched in a special way by at least one of her sisters.
Sensitivity and concern foreach other characterized the girlson 25-3 W e lived together asa family and were committed to making our hallthebestit could be spiritually, academically and socially Enthusiastic parties and exciting hallmeetings were popular onour floor They built unity and brought together agroup ofpeople who cared about each other and enjoyed each other's company. Livingon 25-3was notjustaplace ofresidence; it was an experience and a source of growth in all our lives.
Ful l ofrichand wildpersonalities, Dorm 26-1had an energetic spirit and enthusiasm that wouldn't quit Fun loving and maybe studious, these gorgeous gals live every moment for Christ Wanting the best of everything, they were daring and tookthe school year asitcame The memories willlingerasthey remember thepeople and the feelingsthat made thisyear so special
Amanda Reimer, RAs
Seventy-nine girls from all over the world were brought together and put in neighboring rooms
All of us had different personalities, temperaments and behaviors.
As we reflecton the year,we see our lives woven together in unity. This bond was strongerthan everbecause we builtrelationships, grew spiritually and shared emotionally.
Our time inprayer groups, hallmeetings and activities outside the dorm as well as activities with the best brother dorm, Dorm 8, brought us all closer together.
Our dorm parents, Geoff and Jan
Mathers and Pat and Tom Shepards, were also a positive influence on us as they opened their homes and brought us together as a family.
As we go our separate ways tobuild, grow,share and develop elsewhere, we can look back on our dorm as abeginning of growth that will affect us and those around us forever.
The Lord has surely blessed us by allowing us to be together, and as we continue to seek His will for ourlives, may we always see the goodness ofHis works inthe days ofthe pastaswellas the days to come.

Dor m 27-2 was a very unique dorm I mean, where else could you have found girls from as far away as California and Oregon, and as close as Roanoke, Va.? Southern girls and northern girls, loud girls and quietgirls, socializing girlsand studying girls, all livingtogether inone place! It wastruly a blessing and miracle from God There were so many different looks, different tastes, different personalities all living together in harmony as one happv family for one reason:
We had Jesus Christ asour Lord and Savior.
As ahallwe chose Philippians 3:14 as our theme for this year.It states, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." As we together were training to be "Champions for Christ," we were ultimately "pressing toward the mark." That was what bound us together and made us one big happy family!

Romans 12:15— "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep," wasan appropriate description

Together we grew in Christand thosearound usknew usby our love for one another.
Karen Lemon, president of 28-2Righ t from the start, activities were planned and "open houses" were held to acquaint new andreturning students. Thepremier of the year was a Hawaiian luau, where grass skirts (made from "Hefty" bags) were worn, pineappleswereeaten, and the hula wasattempted. Itwas a chance for the girlsto meet the young ladieswho would eat, sleep, study, grow and walk among them forthe next nine months.
Dorm 28-3 ishome for agreat group ofladies. The hallis made upofmostly freshmen and 20upperclassmen. This

Romans 14:19 — "Let ustherefore follow after the things which makefor peace and the things wherewith one may edify another."
You roll over and smack your alarm clock with a groan. It can't be time to get up already. Now you know why you shouldn't have watched the "Late-Nighter" after David Letterman.
You make your way tothebathroom.Stepping intotheshower, you remember thatyou meant tocleanit last week. You vow todo it latertoday.
Slightly awake, but dressed, you head forthe fridge forbreakfast. You aregreeted by afoul smelland you'regoingtocheckthat out soon.You grab the milk and a diet Coke.Turning,you open thecupboard and reach for thefrostedflakes and abowl. You find the cereal, but no bowl With a sigh, you grab one from the sink and rinse ituntil itlooks safe.You flip on the TV and dialfor "Good Morning,America."
The carwon'tstart, asusual. Afterfive minutes of cranking, the engine finally kicks over.You are on your way.
Taking theexpressway, you make it toCandlersMountain Road in five minutes,making up for the lost starting time.There is a lineonto campus.You look atyour watch.You have 15minutes. With fiveminutes to spare, you glidepastthe guard shack and grab the first parking spotinEgypt.There's no use inlookingfor anything closer.
You sprint across theparkinglot — quiteafeat in loafers. Sweat beading yourbrow, you make it toDeMoss with aminute to spare. You walk quickly with your head down so you won't stopto talk. You head for class.Once again,you make iton time.
Finishing classes, you head for work Serving french friesand shakes wasn't your idea of a job,but itpays the rent.You have even come to like itand the people you work with.
Home once more, you head forthetelevision and DavidLetterman. You make a briefstop atthe fridgefora Coke and then fall
onto the sofa to watch.
Living off-campus was unique, tosay the least It was an experience you greatly appreciated. Somewhere in the future you'll probably laugh about it Despite the carproblems, the fussy landlord, the tub, the rent payments, you loved it.
Now, if you only knew what that smell in the refrigerator was . . .
You'r e from Lynchburg You've always lived here The only thingyou know is livingat home with your parents
You've never had someone write you up for not making your bed Mom has always done it for you You've never had towaitinaline aslongas theGreat Wall for dinner You just go into the kitchen and make it yourself You area true town student
The only way you know how to approach college life is from your own home. For four years you have been abletoseparate yourselffrom the mad, mad world ofdormitoriesand annoying roommates.If you had toliveinone of thosesmallroomswiththoseother people, you'd go nuts.You must have your space, your bed, your TV and your musicto study with.You are a true town student.
Once yourclasses areover, you're free to drive offcampus and into your own personalworld offreedom. Your Mom's not going to make you ask forpermission to go out with your friends.Sure you have curfew, but will your folks really fineyou if you miss it?Probably not.They understand. They were once incollegethemselves. You areyour own person and freetomake your owndecisions. What you do afterclassesis your own business.You are a true town student.
When people at school find out that you're from Lynchburg, they can'tbelieve it.Why would you want to go to Liberty? Why would you want to stay at home?
You just laugh They don't get it You'rethe one who has it made Living athome means no rent You have a car The money you saved by not going away to school and paying to livein a dorm is what you used to buy thatcar. You have your own room. You don't have to race to the bathroom to make sureyou have hotwaterevery morning. You are a true town student.
Of course, you're the perfect tour guide as well. When people want to know what tosee and where togo,you have allthe answers.See the Peaks of Otter, you suggest.Visit Crabtree Falls too. Make sureyou seeAppomattoxbefore you graduate, you tell your new friends. (Afterall, you saw it everyyear untilyou were inthesixthgrade.) Roanoke hasthebestshopping, butLynchburg has thebestcheese western, courtesy the Texas Inn. You know all the secrets of Lynchburg. You are a true town student.
Vacationtimerolls around.Everyone isexcited about going home. For you, the drive takes 10 minutes.You watch as your friends leave for their homes. They canhardlywaitto see theirfamily and friends.
As you drive offcampus,you catch a glimpseoftheLiberty signin your rearview mirror You breathe a sigh of disappointment For the next few weeks you'll be with your family and friends too, but — somehow — it'sjustnotthe same
You are a true town student Robin Brooks,a town student
Yo u seeitonce ina lifetime The opportunity for "the" picture is but a vapor — here one second, gone the next. You, the photographer,struggle and fight to capture iton film so the rest ofthe world can see— and sigh.Sometimes you succeed; sometimes you fail.

You drag your suitcases from the closet and from under the bed You lay them on the pea-green mattress and open them up Carefully,you begin to pack your clothes and personal items.
It's been a long year, you reflect. Many ofthe thingsyou did and the places you went areclearlyimprinted on your memory:Thefirst meal at Marriott.The trip to D.C. The firstwater fight with your roommates.The time you hiked the Peaks.The firstsnowfall.The times you fell while crossing the ravine. Taking your exams was something you won't forgettoo soon. And,there was that class that you didn't know how you were ever going to get through — notto mention allofthose 8:00 a.m.classes.
Your thingsarepacked and the room has regained its blank walls, the pea-green mattresses and that ugly orange carpet you hardly even realizedyou had. The shelvesareempty and only a single wire hanger lingers in the closet You decide to leave itthere — something to remind next year's occupants you've been there.
You close the door softly behind you as you move into the hall You've just closed another chapter in your book.
Your ride is exactly on time and you throw your bagsinthe trunk. You getin the back with two other people It'sa littletight— not that you mind that much
The car pulls slowly around the circle, giving you a view of all those places you threw a ball around orjustsatand talked. As you passDeMoss,you realizeit's empty.You're surprised. You've never seen it empty before.
The guard waves you through and you're on your way home. You lookthrough theback window and your looksays— goodbye You'll miss that place and the friends you've made
You head out of town, watching the sun slip behind Virginia's hills No one talks It'ssomething allof you feel
You've lived a lifetime here. You've studied and listened; you've learned; you've laughed, and you've loved. You've put your mark on this school And Liberty, you.
Th e year has come to a close, as has this year's edition ofSelah. You neverthoughtyouwould see the day that they both just ended. In one way you're grieved and in another you'reecstatic.
Selah 1988started out asallofus do as a wish and a hope. It was conceivedinthedarkcrevicesofourminds, nourished by our constant thought, crafted through many hours of work and atlastborn Itis your task torear it, breaking in the binding and taking thecrispnessfrom thepages And when ithasliveditslife outunderyourcare,I askthatyou retireittoashelf— notto be forgotten,but loved and cherished That isthe way that I know I will careformy book Irealizethetime and
effort the staffput into it. I know the hourspeoplespenttotake, develop and print photos. I know the hours spent putting those photos onto a page and writingthewordstoaccompany them. I know the hours spent looking for names, organizing the paperwork, editing and rewriting.
Ifyou had done what we,the staff, did, you too would feel nothing but pureand abundantloveforthisproduct lovethat can look past a misspelled name, an acre of white space, a poor picture and a typo;love that aided us through the sleepless nights and long days thatfollowed;love that glued the piecesback together when we could no longer laugh — and we cried Putting together Selah 1988 was not
easy.It took the dedication of a hard working, never-say-quit staff. And in that we had our trialsand ourdifficult times.We relied on one particularpassagewritten by Paul.Istumbled across itone bleak morning when I could no longerlookatacomputerscreenorlayout.As Irecall, I was physically,emotionally and spiritually drained.
I Peter 5:7,8 says,"Casting all your careupon him;forhecarethforyou.Be sober,be vigilant; because your adversarythedeadline, asaroaringlion,walketh about,seeking whom he may devour"— orsomething alongthoselines. Itwas those words thatmy staffand I needed and received. Those are the words that inspired us to keep going even though we could not see the end.
Traditionally, the editor's letter is one ofthanks aswellas being one that narratesthehardtimes. My staffknows how much I appreciate them. They've been thanked many times.
I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Richard Bohrer, who was a friendinadditiontoan advisor. He also kept me in linewhen itcame tothings that were beyond my control,remindingme thatbitternessis notadesirable trait.
My thanksgo outtoProf. MikieSurvant,who volunteered as photography advisor. His humor and general good nature were always appreciated. At times, when the book seemed to be crumbling beforeme,he would ask how I was doing That really means a lot
when your life and pet project are they were born breaking apart
I think that most ofall, Iappreciate my parents When things were bad,I had someone tocall They neverfailed tosupport me,and thatknowledge can be some of the best help anyone can ever receive. They aretrulyindispensibleand I lovethem dearly. They getthe biggest thanks, for without them I couldn't have made itthis far.
It is my hope the students, faculty, staff, administration and everyone else thatwillpick up thisbook willenjoyit as much as or more than we enjoyed puttingittogether. Enjoy it now andfor yearsdown the road — when thecover hasyellowed and thepagesarestiff, but thememoriesarejust asclearastheday
