Nancy Schaefer »«*»*. Tim AlbertsonMiss Liberty1989: KristenParker
Imagine fora moment: tenfinalists, a selected few, one ofwill be crowned Miss Liberty 1989. The spotlight aims at each finalist as she steps to the microphone to answerthe finaland possiblydecidingquestion. Thisisthemoment Kristenloy Parker will remember asthe most tense partofthe MissLiberty Pageant, but itwillalsobe her mostmemorable moment asshewas subsequently crowned Miss Liberty.
Parker, 21, of San Diego, California, seta specialgoalinherreign as Miss Liberty and also forherlifetime."I want to exemplify Christ both to the Christian and nonChristianandopen the gospel to them," Parkersaid.
She wants to be remembered by her peers as "a young woman who lovesthe Lord with all her heart and is committed to serving Him with her life," Parker said.
Parker was reared in a Christian home where her parents taughthermoral valuesthrough their commitment totheLord. In1973atIndianHills BibleCamp, Parker wasledto the Lord insideone ofthe prayertepees.
While at Liberty, Parker was involvedin numerous Christian outreach clubs and associations.Shewas alsoan RA for Dorm 261 her senioryear.
Sheis gratefulfor Liberty's commitment to excellenceandforthegodly faculty.Two
special professors will always stand out in hermind. Dr.Habermas encouraged Parker to be agodly young woman with high morals. Hetaughthertoknow what shebelieves and to not be ashamed. Dr. Rickard's humble spirit and devotion totheLord also helped Parker inher spiritual life.
When asked what she will miss most about Liberty, Parker said the people, spiritual opportunities and "theexcitement of being part of a campus working towards a goalofmaking a difference."
Lamentations
3:22,23 areherfavorite verses because they helped herthroughcollege. These verses encouraged her by reminding her of God's faithfulness toHischildren.
Parker, an accounting major and May graduate, hopes to obtainherCPAin orderto become a better asset wherever the Lord leadsher. Whethershe is a homemaker or accountant, shewants to serve the Lord through everything.
When Parkerwas asked what adviceshe would like to leave thestudent body,she said,"Honor the Lord daily inallthat you do. Don't look tothethings oftheworld becauseGod is sofaithfuland Hehonors His children whoarefaithful to Him."
Thank you, Kristen Parker, forrepresenting the Lord and Liberty University with such atender, lovingheart.
Miss Liberty
Pageants and contestsforwomen areaprominent part of America from the small town homecoming queen to Miss USA. From the time they walk untiltheyaremarried, contestantsparticipate inseveralofthesepageants, competing for money, prizes, scholarships, and the honor ofholding the title.
Libertyalsohasitsformofapageant.Itiscalled the Miss Liberty Pageant. Itoriginally started in 1974,and thetitlewas LibertyHomecoming Queen The homecoming pageantcontinued forfouryears In 1978 it became known as the Miss Liberty Pageant.
Lamar Keener, then Dean ofCommuting Students,startedthepageantsin1978 Itwas createdto honor agirl at Libertynotonly forherphysicalappearance,butalsoforherpersonality,involvement, achievements, academic ability, Christian testimony and service She was to best exemplify the "SpiritofLiberty"and possessthevirtuesofagodly woman spoken ofinProverbs31.
Mostofthequalificationsand procedures have remained thesame through theyears. MissLiberty has to be a single,senior girl whose cumulative grade point average is2.75 or above. Each senior chooses 10 girls who they feelbest exemplify the "Spirit of Liberty." The top fifty names are then passed to the faculty who narrow them to the 24
contestantsforthepageant Thejudges,consisting of faculty,administration and two seniors, then interview each girlpersonally and selectthe top ten finalists who are announced at the pageant. The judges further consider their performance whileon stagetonarrow them tofive.TheLiberty studentsinattendanceatthepageantaregiventhe final task of voting for one of the five finalists. Afterthevotesaretallied, thenew Miss Libertyis crowned.
The Miss Liberty Pageants have become larger and larger. Originally they were heldat Thomas Road Baptist Church, but in 1984, Bev Buffingtonmoved them totheMultipurposeCenter for reasons of convenience and seating. Bev Buffingtonisthehead ofactivitiesatLibertyandis thesoleproducer oftheMissLibertyPageant. Becauseofthegrowth ofthepageant, ithasdrawnin some very successfuland famous peopleforhosts and hostesseslikeKaren Morrison,Gary McSpadden, Kay DeKalb, Meredith McRae, Kim Boyce, Roger Breland, and Kelly Cash.
Thisyear was the twelfth annual pageant It hasbecome aprominent eventinthe homecoming activities Ithasgrown and changed from itsstartingpoint, but it still serves thepurpose forwhich it was created.
Fashion
The year 1989 stated individuality. Students could wear vintage cloths as well the newest stylesand still be "in."
Colors changed dramatically over thelast year, shiftingthefocusfrom brightto drab and bringing shades ofnavy, brown,olivegreen and mustard. Shades ofwine and purple replaced red, but black remained classic.
Fashion trendsatLU included pegging pants and wearing scarfs, boloties, split skirtsand ponytails.
Each student had more than one look ranging from athletic to dressy wear for classtocasual wear sported on dates.
On a fitness conscious campus many students donned sweat suits, umbros and aerobicwear.
The school dress ranged from sporty to classic and anything imaginable in between.
Casual wear meant jeans to comfortable dress wear, which could be seen atany non-academic function.
The diverseness offashion gave LU students plenty ofroom to express their individuality.
Jennifer Ferrell1989 Graduation
The airwas filled with anticipation asthe1989graduatesfiledin. The audience satinthechairs, bleachers, and on thegrassy hill around thebaseball field.
The sky was blue and all one could see in the frontwere rows ofblack hats and gowns.
Dr. W.A. Criswellspoketo the many graduates. He encouraged them as they marked the end of this phase of their education. He said that the world is gradually gettingworse, and the graduatescouldmake adifferencetohelpkeep it better.
Some of the graduates would soon be getting married, some would be goingonforfurthereducationand some would be gettingajob. However,all of them were finishing a chapter oftheir lifeand were not exactly sure how the nextone would begin.
The graduates listened intently to what Dr.Criswell said. Then, one by one,their names were called, and they went up toreceivetheir diplomas. That one pieceofpaper covered a majorfeat in their lives that will be remembered forever.
Melanie BerothBicyclingon Campus
Liberty'snew"walking campus"policygave rise toa new and faster transportation trend-bicycling. Bicycles raced around dorm circle, through DeMoss parking lot and uptothe Religion Hall.
Bicycling toclassesallowed forafew minutes extrasleep inthe morning,amost cherished commodity. The new mode of transportation also gave anadded boost ofenergy tosluggish students whotook classesat8:00 a.m.
Bikes were used not only to get toclassesbutasasocial activity forlong Sunday afternoons. Many students gathered ingroupstocyclearound campus. Thoseinterestedinachange ofscenery took their bikestoPeaksView Park and rodeonthe many windingtrails.
Bicyclingwas alsoused asastudy break. Students weary ofsittinginthelibrary forhours would stretch their cramped legsbybiking.Thosetiredoftryingtostudyinthechaosoftheir dorm found solitary peace in cycling.
Bicycling was advantageous inmany ways. Not only did it preventthosewhoowned bikesfrom being tardyto classes, it caused envy in pedestrians whose shoes were ruined from sloshing inthe mud ofcampus construction.
So the "walking campus" policybenefited studentsin two ways. One,it prevented extra pounds from accumulating on thestudentbody, and, two, itbroughtbackanoldAmericanfavorite to Liberty-thebicycle.
Felicia HalsteadStudent Population
It's eleven o'clock and chapel has just ended. Out from the Multi-Purpose Center pour thousands of Liberty Students. Flurries of skirts and tiesdriftby, arms wave and a steady stream of people make their way to classes.
Does this stream evertrickle thin? Will Liberty ever worry aboutfilling thedorms?At leastforthenextfiveto ten years, research suggests, colleges across the country could have some problem with low student enrollment.
It allbegan afterWorld War II and before the Korean conflict, when the phenomenon known as the "Baby Boom" occurred.People settled back into post-war life, and the Baby Boomers married and raised families.
Where does this leave us now? Predictably,the children of the Baby Boomers are just now beginning to graduate from high school.Colleges and universities could experience a slump inenrollment untilthosechildren startenrolling. Liberty, however, witnessed an increasein enrollment thisyear.Ralph Brasure, directorof InstitutionalResearch and Sta-
tistics,said Liberty experienced a 52% increaseinenrollment, placingitsixthin the state's overall enrollment. Brasure said Liberty has 16,605 total students, with LUSLLL making up 11,519ofthose and resident students equaling 5,086. Thereare3,306 dorm studentsat Liberty and 1,780 town students. The university represents30 foreignnationsand boasts of 90 foreign students. These figures show Liberty as the fastestgrowinginstitutioninVirginia, public andprivate. Brasure said colleges should expect an increaseinenrollmentby 1995to the year2000. Virginia'shighschoolsfaceda drop in enrollment thisyear,a redflag forcollegesnextyear.
"Collegesand institutionsacross the nation should notbe alarmed,"Brasure said, "becauseresearchersforyearshave predicted low enrollments, which have yettohappen."
Libertyisre-affirmedinitsaccreditation every 10 years to insure highstandards of faculty qualifications and academic excellence.Brasure said that Libertyoffers thesame academic standards as other public and privateuniversities inVirginia.
Felicia HalsteadLU Enrolls New Student: TheDinosaur
The day began at 6 a.m., and no one knew exactly what toexpect. It would be a hot and dirty day. Another snake might slitheracrosstherocks,ortheymighthaveto kill a scorpion. However, the trials they encountered were worth thesightofanother dinosaur bone buried inthe dirt.
Prof. James Hall, Arlton Murray, and threeLU studentsspenttwo months oftheir summer inGrand Junction, Colorado, excavating anAllosaurus dinosaur.
Every day, they were faced with the tedious task ofbrushing away dirt to uncover theblack remains. Hall, theassociate director of Liberty's Center for Creation Studies, said, "The bones are about 4800 yearsold. An evolutionist, however,would estimate it atabout 130 millionyears."
Originally,theadult Allosaurus would have stood 15feettallandabout 30-40feet long. They believetohave found 85percent of the dinosaur,but Murray, the curatorof
theCreationScienceMuseum,saidthedino saur had been swirled around until his bones were allmixed up. This could have taken place during the Great Flood.
Students, Jarred Bryson, David King and Jonathan DeBoe, had their first exposure to paleontology on this trip. They picked up the techniques quickly.
Murray said it willtakeabouttwo anda half years to prepare thedinosaur for exhibit. He has worked with fossilsanddinosaurs for 45years,27ofwhich werespent working for the Smithsonian Institute.
Thispastyear, histime was spentinthe museum uncovering the bones. As he brushed away thedirt covering aparched tooth, he whispered, "This is thefirst time human eye has ever seenthis."
When thefossil iscomplete, itwill be laidonitssideinaninsutorexhibit. Thiswil be areplication ofthe actualexcavation site inwhich they found the bones.
MelanieBerothLiberty Emergency Services
A small part of the Liberty Emergency Services can be seen as one enters thecampus ofLiberty University. However, many people do notrealizethe qualifications and numerous responsibilities of the Liberty Emergency Servicesofficers.
Each officer is a member of the in-house security team which is employed by Liberty University. The Liberty Emergency Services is divided into two classifications, the security officers and the ticket enforcement auxiliary.
The ticket enforcement auxiliary, under the authority of Cpt. Kevin Pinkerton, are responsible for issuing tickets to vehicles which are in violation of Liberty University vehicle codes. The ticket enforcement auxiliary also assist the security officerswith the duties at security checkpointon Liberty Mountain,such aschapel check, church check, and curfew check.
The second classification of the Liberty Emergency Services is the security guards. Just as the ticket enforcement auxiliary are screened for employment, so the security guards are carefully screened before being hired. Each security officeris required tocomplete an armed and unarmed guard class offered by the state of Virginia and achieve a qualifying score before becoming a part of the Liberty Emergency Services, as well as completing amodified classcourserequiredby LibertyEmergency Services.
Each security guard must be aqualified Emergency Medical Technician beforebecoming apartoftheLiberty Emergency Services. There isalways atleastone technician on duty around theclock.
The security guards are also required to be deputized by the city of Lynchburg before directing traffic. After receiving this deputization,the security guards areauthorized with full policepowers inthecityofLynchburg.
Other responsibilities of the security officers are to enforce the speed limiton LibertyMountain,aswellasenforcetherulesof TheLiberty Way. The Liberty Emergency Servicesoffersan escortridesystem tothefemales who arrive on campus after curfew. The most important responsibility of the securityguards is toensure thesafety ofeach studentofLibertyUniversity.
"Security officers are not there just to enforce the rules of Liberty University, but alsofortheprotection ofthestudents. Often people who do not attend LU trytopassthrough thecheck pointaftercurfew for whatever reasons, good orbad. That is why we ask foridentification ofeach person tomake suretheperson coming on campus is aLibertystudent, and notjust someone who wantstocausemischief," Roy Carter,asecurityofficerforthe Liberty Emergency Services stated.
Liberty Emergency Services isan excellent organization,consisting of well-qualified officerswho should be praised for their finejob offulfilling their responsibilities.

Ithappened! He called me this afternoon and asked me to go out with him tonight.I am so excited.Wait,Idon'thave time tobe excited. Ihave togetready.
How should Ido my hair? Curl it, or maybe I should pull itback? What should Iwear? Which shoes should Iwear? If I didn'thave so many,Icould decide. I'll never getready!
Idid it! Ifinallyasked her outandshe said "Yes." Ican'tbelieve it. Hey,I don't havetimetothinkaboutit. Ihavetoo many things todo.
What shouldIwear? ShouldIdressup? Or should Igo casual? Did Itell herthatI would pick her up around 6:00 or 7:00?
Where should we go? Should we goto Pizza Hut or toShakers? Should we go to
the movie on campus or toDavid's Place?
My mind isso cluttered,I'llnever get ready!
Thepursuitofadateisaregularactivity on campus for both guys and girls. The excitementofafirstdatewithsomeone new isunexplainable. Just the thought of another person's wanting togo out with you isa wonderful feeling.
Some people may think thisgreatexperiencewillnever happen tothem, but it will. There isthe right person foreveryone, even though some find that right person more quickly thanothers.
StefaniScarlett BrettLawlerPegging Pants
Today more and more peoplearesportingthestyle ofpegged pants. However, it is more thanjustone style-itcanbe various styles. These stylesvary from guys togirlsandfrom trend totrend.
Therearemany differentways to peg pants. Some peoplepeg theirpantsinthe front, andothers peg them in theback or onthe side. Although many fadshave come and gone, pegging pantshasbeen around forabout ayear andahalfto two years. People pegtheir pants for a lotofdifferent reasons,some ofthem being fashion, sometimes tokeep theirpantsintheirboots andsometimes because their pants aretoolong.
Thereis adifferencebetweentheway guysand girlspeg theirpants. Guystend
topeg theirpants loosely, whereas girls peg theirpants tightertolookbetterorto make themselves look thinner. You should never rollyour pants up too many times;usuallytwo orthreetimesisenough, depending onhow longyourpantsare.
When people first started pegging pants, it seemed strange. Why anyone has tomake theirpantstight at thebottom is still hard forsome people tounderstand. To thisday some parents still ask theirkidswhy they justdon'tbuy pants that fit them instead ofhaving topeg them.
So who knows how long this "fad" or "trend" willlast? Until the day when pegging pants isn'tin anymore,make sure you don't peg your pants the wrong way,or you'll be given strange looks asyou walk around campus.

SeniorDorm Life
Senior dorms are the next best thing to living off campus. Thereis more privacythanintheunderclassmen dorms-a bathroom shared byfive-notforty and a bedroom shared by two-notfour.
It means akitchenette andaliving room area.It feelsmore homey,andseniorsfind it easiertostudy.
The ten members of the apartment-like quads grow closeroverthecourseoftheyear. They find out who cancook and who burns toast. They begin to know each other more likeafamily instead ofneighbors. It is more relaxed sittingdown inaliving room instead ofadorm hall.
Growing close in the Senior dorms will make graduation harder, knowing that life-longfriends will relocate milesapart.
JenniferFerrellFour to a Room
How can one livewith fourpeople in one room? Itisnoteasy. There are four peoplewithfourschedulestryingtolivein one room. There always seems tobe that one roommate whose world ends at 10:00 p.m. What areher roommates todowith their evening? At first they feel guilty making noiseand havingthelightson,but therearethreeofthem andsheis theonly oneasleep.Theresultisthethreeleavethe lightsonandturn themusic up.
Another problem that arises is room jobs. Withfourinaroom,theycollectmore trashanddirtydishesthanafamily of ten people. Thetrashneeds tobedone more thanthreetimesaweek, butwhois going todoit? Novolunteers!
Another important problem is the use ofthetelephone. Does theterm "answering service" sound familiar? The phone alwaysseemstoringforsomeone else,but when one expects a phone call,there is never anopen linetobefound.
There seems tobenoendtothe problemsofhavingfourinoneroom.Solutions to those problems are not veryavailable. Just remember, when you're feeling cramped and miss thatprivacy youused tohave,it only lastsoneyear andthen it will allbeover. Inthemeantime, consider itawaytomake closefriendswho willlast throughout your college career.
TownyLife
Tobeatown studentornottobeis the question. Before moving offcampus, for thoseold enough toopt, thereareseveral aspectsoftowney life tobeconsidered.
The first, ofcourse,ismoney. Most town studentsfindthatitis cheaperto live off campus, but it depends onwhere you live,how many roommatesyou canputup with,and how much you eat. If you eat likeafootballplayer, thefoodplanaloneis enough tokeep youoncampus.
Something elsetothinkaboutis cookingand cleaning. It is easyto rundown to thecafeteriatoeataquick supper. Eating takes on a whole new perspective when youhavetocookityourself. Afterbeingin classes andworking all day, whowantsto go home andcook? And then there's the dishesto do, thefloors to vacuum,and the bathroom to clean.Wow,itsoundslikethe life ofahousewife.
But on the other hand,there is no set dinner schedule,no white glove inspection (unless your roommate is a neat freak), and no twelve o'clock curfew. There is the television and theVCR. Just having areal livingroom is great.You can evenbakeabatchofchocolatechipcookies
any timeyouwantto.
Living offcampus sounds betterand better. But there's one more important consideration: gas.Yes,gas. You know, the kind you pump into your carevery week. The average town student must burn 30gallons ofgasoline a week. You dash to campus for class,grab a quick lunch somewhere and head for work. Thereare ahundred thingsthat have tobe done inthelaborthelibrary, sothere are about that many trips to and from the campus. Don't forget allthetripsto the grocerystore.
There's also thedisadvantage of not knowing what is goingon. Town students seem tofind out everything afterthe fact. They're usually a day or two behind on campus gossip.
Livingoncampus mightnotbesobad afterall. You'rerightthereallthetimeand no cookingto do, nodishesto wash, while saving money not spent on gasoline. No television, no VCR, and a twelve o'clock curfew. Well, ontheotherhand, what'sa few dishes?
Denise PughTo Sleep or Not to Sleep
Saturday has come. A blanket of peacefulness coversa oncebustling campus. Studentsliedreaming, entombed in theirwarm beds. The sun is just peaking from behind themountain tops. The birds arejustbeginning to chirptheirmerry melodies, and the flowers and treesarebursting withcolors.
There areno earlymorning classes, chapelservices, church, orurgent homework tobe done. It is a day to resttheirbodies and minds from thefrantic lastweek and toprepare fortheweek to come.
Many do not gettoenjoy thisfineluxury. They have ajoborreceivean earlymorning phone call or theyareinvolved insome campus activity.They are the ones who take afternoon naps to revive themselves. Saturday is thepeak ofthe week.
Students livefor Saturdays justtohave theopportunity to have nothing to do. Saturdays are important not only for physical strength but for mental strength as well.

Andrea FayeHunsbergerWhere Did The Money Go?
College life is better known as the lean years. Living on a student'sbudget is likegoing toa shopping mall where everything is 50% off and only having five dollars to spend-somany waystospendmoney andsolittlemoneyto waste.

Nancy ViarEvangelist David Ring graced Liberty's chapel service with hismessage oftaking one's eyes off one's problems and putting them back on God.
Ring,who was born with cerebral palsy,said he thanks God every day for allowing him to live,handicapped or not.
The Arkansas native is married and is the father of two girls. He and his family liveinOrlando, Florida.
Ring used a great deal of humor during the September 11 chapel service. He claims most people come to church "looking like they have been sucking on a dill pickle or baptized inpersimmonjuice."
He said people need to "quit belly aching," and in everything givethanks.
He told several incidents of people's thinking he was mentally retarded, ratherthan a victim of cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is strictly a
Ring
physical, not mental handicap.
He told ofone incidentin which an airline clerk in Detroit mistakenly wrote "mentally retarded" on his plane ticket.
"I took my ticket and looked at it and thought, well, that's cool," Ring said, "because two hours ago Ilooked inthemirror and I didn'tlook retarded, but maybe in two hours time mental retardation set in."
Besides Ring's good humor about his handicap, he givesall theglory to God.
"People come up to me and say,'Boy,you don't look sogood. I feel sorryfor you.'I say, 'Why?' When I gotsaved, Igave God my body and soul and my body doesn't belong tome anymore."
David Ring touched many hearts in his chapel service and portrayed a living testimony thatphysicallimitations do not inhibitone's soul.
Felicia HalsteadDarrel Gilyard
Silence encompassed thousands ofstudents assembled forchapel asspeaker DarrelGilyard shared his astounding testimony. Dr.Falwell introduced him as a man trulyordainedby God. Afterthechapelservice, studentsknew that God had spoken through thisman.
Abandoned at nine months and leftin the care of his mother'sfriend,Gilyardfacedtroubledtimes.After moving from home tohome,Gilyard decided togo out on his own. His home became a small area underneath a bridge in Jacksonville,Florida. As ateenagerhehad noone. Anything he had, he provided himself. He attended high school faithfullyand excelledinacademicsby studyinglateatnight under thelightsofa nearby convenience store. Hardships seemed to follow Gilyard,but he continued to pursue his goals.
During those years of living under a bridge, Gilyard came toknow theLord, and from thattime on, he "pressed toward themark ofthe callingofChristJesus." The students satcaptivated by histellingoftheexperiences he had lived through. Gilyard did not share his story to gain pity but rather toshow how God can use a willingvessel.
Gilyard receivedhis Bachelor ofSciencein 1987from the CriswellCenter ofBiblical Studiesand is currently working towards hisMasters from Liberty University.
To capture the true impact of this man's testimony would be almostimpossible. Yet, thelong standing ovation givenby thestudentbody saidmore thanmere words could express. Hearts were touched thatday.
Ten minutes before chapel dismissed, the time when students ordinarily start shifting and squirming, silence remained. Gilyard proclaimed the mighty names of God from Genesis toRevelation. Students were not only astonished by hisincredibleknowledge ofGod's Word,but most importantly by thesincerityinhis heart. Through theyears God hasbecome all those thingsto him.

The purpose ofthetrip was totryto getaworld visionfor evangelism, meet people and getintroduced toEuropean culture. They tookmaterialsthatcould be used to help the missionaries, including Dr.JerryFalwell'sStrength for theTourney.
While in Heidelberg, West Germany,they visited thehome ofNorbert Hennrich, aLiberty University student who wason the trip with them. They
visitedhis home church, FreeBaptist in Mannheim, West Germany, and conversed with the youth group. Free Baptistaverages about one hundred in attendanceand isthe usualsizeofevangelicalchurches in Germany.
While they were in Leon, France, they visited Thomas Road Baptist Church missionaries Steve and Beth Coffey. The Coffeys are starting a church among the Muslim population inFrance.

Jennifer FerrellThanksgiving Food Drive
Thanksgiving, formost ofus,is atimeto reflectonourmany blessingsand tostuffour faceswith all kinds ofgood food. We sit in our warm, comfortable homes and watch parades and football games allday. The aroma ofjuicyturkeyfills theairand golden pumpkin pies sit on thecounter awaiting theircloud offluffywhipped cream. Cranberry salad jells in therefrigerator beside gallons ofice tea.
There are some people to whom this scene isforeign. Thanksgiving isjust another day,kind oflike a Saturday, because they don't have towork. There's noturkey in the oven and no pumpkin pies onthe counter. They aren't looking forward to counting theirblessingsonawonderful day offeasting.
Thanks totheeffortsoftheSGAand the Lynchburg Area Food Bank, there were fewer familiesinthecityspending a turkeylessThanksgiving dinner.

Nancy SchaeferMrs . Carla Sloan: A student's friend
We have allheard the saying that "actions speak louder than words," and the student who knows CarlaSloan, Business Communications professor, realizes heractionsasastudent's friend speak louder than any classroom lecture evercould.
Mrs.Sloangraduated from LU in 1982 with a double major in English and speech. She then completed her graduate studies atTowson State. She relates well with to students' strugglestoobtainadegree.
In 1984, Mrs. Sloan returned to Lynchburg while her husband completed his master's at Liberty. She obtained a job as an English and speech teacher at LU. Due totheneed forbusiness students to polish their communication
skills, the course Business Communications was formed. Mrs.Sloan then became a professor for the School of Business.Shealwayshad the desiretoteachbut never imagined becoming a professor at her alma mater.
Students respect her knowledge ofcommunications and teaching skills along with her pleasant and personable mannerisms.
Mrs. Sloan says repeatedly in her classes, "Itonly takes seven secondstomake agoodfirst impression." It's obvious thatslogan is partof her own lifebecause of herfavorableimpression onstudents.
Mrs. Sloanisnotonly a well respected teacher but an appreciated friend.
In Memory of Jimmy Moffitt
Dear God, TodayIwanttocomebeforeyouwith aheart ofthanksgiving.I am very thankful for the graciousness of your Being. You have given me so many wonderful things: my family, my health, my salvation, and my friends. One friend, however, I am so verythankful forbecause he was such an inspiration to me. Ihave searchedmyself,butIcannotseemtofind wordsadequateenough to thankYou for bringing my friend, Jimmy Moffitt, into my life.
If you asked his friends how they would describe Jimmy, the consistent answer would be that he was a really greatguy. Jimmy was never "too"busy for anyone. He alwaysfound the time to talk with people, whether the subject matterwas important, or ifit was only to exchange a few words. Jimmy wasalwaysdependable.Ifhesaid hewould do something,hewould doit. Hisword was asgood asasigned contract.
He was also willing to do anything for anyone. If someone was in need, Jimmywould alwaysbetheretohelp. He never turned anyone away.
Jimmy alwayshada smileonhisface. He had suchanuplifting spiritthatitwas impossibleto sayhello to Jimmy and not feel his warm cheerfulness.
Not onlywas Jimmy agreat guy, but he was one of Your most devoted servants.He lovedtotalkaboutYou.Henot only talked to his close and dearest
friendsaboutYou, but alsothose whom he did not even know. Witnessing was suchanessential part ofJimmy's life.He was concerned about others' salvation. Jimmy neverlet onechanceto witness to lost soulsslip by.
Jimmy even shared hisfaith to those in foreign lands.A fewyears ago,Jimmy went toHaitiwith his high school, prior toattending Liberty University, to share Your wonderful love with the lost Haitians. Whilehewasthere,Jimmy became ill.He was givenashottocurehim, but the needle that was used was contaminated with the AIDSvirus.
If this had happened to manyothers, theywould havelost the visionfor souls thatJimmy had.Jimmy, however, puthis virusinYour hands and allowed Youto work in his life as You saw beneficial.
EventhoughJimmy knew thathislife here onearthwaslimitedbythe virus, he neverdwelled on it. He alwayskept his eyes on You,determining to make each day thevery bestthathe could andwitnessingto others in wordsand in actions. Whenever I saw Jimmy,I neverthought ofhis disease; but I only thought tomyself: "There goes my friend, Jimmy Moffit."No onecouldhaveeverhad a better friend thanJimmy.
Thank you, Lord, forsendingJimmy into my life.Tome, hewill alwaysbe remembered asa greatfriend, but most of allas a soldier of Christ willing to lay down his life tosharethe gospel.

AIDS and the Innocent
Whether the conservative community wants to accept AIDS orlabelita"gay's"disease isobsolete; ithas crept into the innocent members of societybabies, unknowing marriage partners, blood transfusionrecipients and users of unsterile needles.
Innocent?Maybe,oris it the naive individual upon whom AIDS pounces? This isthe type of innocence one cannot afford. LU students agree that there must bebetter education about thedisease.
"I think the facts aboutthe AIDS virus should be made known to everyone,about how it spreadsand how toavoid getting the AIDS virus.Small children, especially, shouldbe made aware of thedisease." - Kevin Harris,JuniorBusinessManagement, Flatwoods,Kentucky.
Students also agree that the medical field needs to be more careful. One student overheard two nurses talking ina department store line about how they hated wearing gloves and how they had to cut the index finger from theglove to do their job properly! Properly or easier? The student belief is thatpatients deserve protection from unsterile needles and possible
infection by gloveless practitioners.
"In m y county a girlgot AIDS from an infected needle used by a hospital nurse, and another girl got AIDS from a manicurist who mixed his infectedblood with acuthe made on her finger."- Magda Stenzel, Sophomore Journalism Graphic Arts,Porto Alegre, Brazil.
It isalso believed that the media isdownplaying thereality of AIDS toavoid a national panic.
"It is ashame.I have a close friend whose son died ofAIDS. It is sad how everyone is affected. I definitelyagreethat the media is doing acover up." Lisa Pepperdine, Sophomore Elementary Education, Reading, Pennsylvania.
The statistics back upthe students' opinions. The World Health Organization has estimated 60,000peopleareinfected withAIDS.Throughoutthisdecade,the number isestimatedto climb to five to six million people infected world wide.
Are thestudentsangry?Yes. They realizeAIDS is threatening society in the 90's.Some, though,view thisastheage-old war between good and evil.

Over two hundred Liberty students have found a special beacon oflight on campus, onethat provides encouragement, opportunities in foreign lands,and bonding friendships.
The Light Club iscommitted to bridging the gap between student members and theworld ofmissions.
"We hope to promote global missions anyway we can and provide opportunities through Light campaigns," said Jimmy Jackson, LightClub president.
TheLightClub,whichisabranch of the Light ministries, provides many opportunities forstudentsto get involved with missions both inside and outside campus. Involvement in the Light singers increases missions awareness by overseas trips.
"Hundreds of students' lives have been changed," said Jackson, who traveled to Romania several years ago on a missions exposure trip.
Along with trying to reach the unsaved and discouraged inforeign countries, LightClub reachesoutto the student body. The Light Encouragers,which has been very
fruitful, is a group ofstudents who reach out to their peers who arein need. They show compassion through spending time with a student and praying for the student's needs,such as a death in the family. Another group within Light, called Friendship International, allows students to write missionaries on a semimonthlybasis. Thereisalsoaprayer group thatmeets one day aweek to pray for missionaries.
The Light Club has set several futuregoalsinordertomake people aware of the need for missions. Recruitingforforeignexposuretrips is theirtop priority. Jackson would also like to see more community involvement.
"We want tobecome moreactive in the Lynchburg community in order toshow thelove ofJesusina tangible way," said Jackson. Light would also like to reach out to the Christiansonlocalcollegecampuses and fellowship with them.
The Light Club isled by Jimmy Jackson, president, Scott Hofert, vice-president, Danna Haag, secretary, and Rachel Woolridge, treasurer.

The sense of a new era in football pervaded Liberty U. as a new stadium was completed;anationallyrecognizedcoachwasinstalled,accompanied bynational media exposure; and anexperienced 8-3squad was returning, seemingly primed foranoutstanding yearandperhaps thenational playoffs.

Butthelast four games produced aneasywin forKutztown University sandwiched between lossesatCentralFlorida,thenYoungstownStateand the bitter lasthome game lossagainst a powerful Southwest MissouriStatesquad.

However,theFlames would finishtheyearat 7-3under newcoach Sam Rutigli-
providing LU fansonCandlers Mountainand throughout thewhole country withanoutstanding yearchockedfullofmemoriesand stamped withthe sealthatLibertyfootballwas for real.
Paul JimenezRutigliano: A Man with aMission
For thosewhohave followedthe trek ofLiberty University's football programforanyamountoftimeatall, the story of Sam Rutigliano and his burst onto the Candlers Mountain sceneisfamiliar.Forthosewho have watched professional football over the years, this account ofa former NFL coach joining a Division 1-AA footballprogram is unique.
Thisstorybeganwhen Rutigliano spoke ataLiberty University chapel serviceback inthefall of1988. After beingsoughtoutby ChancellorJerry Falwell for the head coachingjob, Rutigliano finally accepted and was officially named head coach during the third week ofDecember. Subsequently, Rutigliano led a talented team through a formidable 1989 schedule that included nationally ranked Division1-AAsquadsaswell as a touted Division 1-A team.
Rutigliano's team, besieged bynational exposure due to their newfound coach, gained theirownattentionby cracking the top twenty poll forthreeweeks and finishing7-3, on theverge ofthe playoffs.
Rutigliano hadalways known he wanted toteach agame. Ever since hisboyhood days inBrooklyn when he went tothesame Catholic church and grew up with Vince Lombardi and Joe Paterno-two ofthe greatest coaches in football history-he seemed destined to lead. Sure
enough,atage 23, Rutigliano started hislongcareerofcoachingasthehead man at Lafayette High School in Brooklyn,New York.Hewould eventuallymove up asanassistantinthe collegiateranks andonto the professionallevelashead coach forsixand one half years with the Cleveland Browns.
However, there is a chapter in Rutigliano's lifewhich helps unfold hispurposeinlife,achapterthatisnot often read by those who seeRutiglianoasjustacoach.As hesharesinhis book, Pressure, thisstorystarts with the inquisitions ofyoung daughter, Nancy. She would questionwhy the family failed to attend church together. Rutigliano knew the barriers thatexistedbetweenthebeliefsofhim and his wife, but answers tohis daughter'squestionswerevagueand empty. Rutigliano knew that those questions must be satisfied. Butthat chance never came,for it waswhile driving with hiswife and four-and one-half-years-old little Nancy to a summer camp inMaine, thatRutiglianofellasleepatthewheel. Theircar flipped over, sparing Rutigliano and his wife,Barb,buttragically killing theirdaughter. Itwasatthispointthat Rutigliano questioned how life would goonfilledwith suchanxiety, guilt, and despair. Hopelessness, heartache, and thequestion "why" overwhelmed him. But then,just
before he left the funeral service to bury his little girl, a couple told hi m and his wife about the person of Jesus Christ. A husband an d wife, wh o ha d just lost their eight-year-old son in a drowning accident a few years earlier, explained ho w Christ filled all voids and eased all pain. Rutigliano and Barb accepted Christ before they buried their daughter, Nancy, an d as Rutigliano emphatically states, his life has never been the same.
Since that day back in August of 1962, Rutigliano has found a ne w purpose, a ne w mission. His desire is to honor, glorify and please that person wh o changed his life while influencing others to d o the same. Comin g to coach football at Liberty University has certainly given hi m the opportunity to d o this, to fulfill a mission. This is the real story behind Sa m Rutigliano.

Despite the pressure ofbeing an integral part ofthe LU footballpassing attack last season, tight end EricGreen wanted to be known as a team player. This attitude,he felt, would cause everything else to fall into place.
Part of "everything else" isGreen's hopes of being picked in the NFL draft.
Green's going to the prosisnotan outrageous idea. The third-year starterismore than abig lineman who can catch. He isbig, strongandfast.
Four-point-seven secondsisall it takes him to move his 6-foot-5-inch frame40yards, which he feels is good for his weight. Additionally, Green now holds the school record for bench
pressby a tightend at345 pounds.
Green, however, did notconcentrateon hisabilityasmuch ashe triedtobe aware ofthe importance ofhisposition inthe Flamesoffense.
Indeed, some level ofcamaraderie among theball-catchersseemed to be indicated by aspecialself-proclaimed title."The Fab Fiveand Sy"was thealias claimed by wide receiversL.G.Parrish, PatNelson, ScottQueen, IkeLogan, CraigWhite and, of course, Green.
"Sy ismy nickname from high school,"Green explained. Although he said the name held no significance, its mention did evoke asmile.
While themain focuswas on Green'spass-catching ability, he realized his position demanded more. To be a successfultight-end, he said, a player must be able tocatch and block. Although he feltsolid in his performance of both tasks,he admitted he preferred catching theball.
Green offered hisspiritualfaithasthequality thatsetshim apart from othertight ends likely tobe drafted by the NFL.
"My Jesus, my Lord and Saviour- that'swhat gives me the edge,"he said.

Their 16-18 record reflected the toughness ofthe schedule but didnot reflectthe effort put forthbytheteam. The 1989schedulefeatured toptwenty teamslike Penn State, NorthCarolina, Virginiaand William and Mary. It alsofeatured tough opponents likeAuburn, Michigan, North Carolina State, Syracuse,Duke,Georgetown,Furman,Temple andVillanova.
The lineup ofTheresa Bream,Cheryl Stinnett, NicoleNice, KimThomas,andShana Pepper could be seen most ofthetime. Cheryl Stinnettis theonly senioronthisyear'ssquad. Stinnett and juniorTeresaBream provided leadershipfortheteam on and offthecourt.Nextyear's squad is anticipating aseason inwhich the lessonslearned from thisyear can beapplied.
Chris DoyleTheresa Bream
Head volleyball coach
Sue Kelly made quite a statement when she called juniorTheresa Bream ".. the finest athlete Liberty University has ever had."
Such astatement made by Kelly stands out when considering all of the athletesthathave represented the Flames in the past and not to mention the current athletesatLU.
Certainly Bream's credentialssurpass many athletes. She has started each one of her three seasons and also been the Most ValuablePlayerforallthree years. Bream was also voted Most Inspirational Player thisyear. Throughout her three years at LU, Bream has been chosen to numerous all-tournament teams and has also been voted MV P at many of these tournaments
Bream alsohad theprivilegeofbeinginvitedtotheOlympic Festivaltryouts.Whilethere, Bream made the first ofthreecuts
"She isthat caliber of player," Kelly said. "Theresa has received the highest honors a woman athletecanreceive."
Next season Bream will serveascaptainfortheLady Flamesand will playamajor roleon the team.
"She will be counted asamajor partoftheoffense,"Kelly said. "Involleyball, you don't reallybuild an offense around a player, but we willrelyon her heavily (nextseason)."
Bream's plans aftergraduation include high goals, but marks thatareattainable.
"I'm trying out for the World University Games, and ifIdo well, I'll try out for the Olympics," the5'8" hitterfrom Mt.Holly Springs, Pa. said. "We'lljust have towaitandsee."
Bream and Kelly have a greatrelationship ascoach and player.
"Theresa is a realspiritualleader, a person who cares,"thefourth-year coach said. "She pulled the team together, and is themost humble athleteI'vemet."
Bream hasbeen a successfulyoung lady up tothispoint, and with possiblegold medals attheWorld University Games and theOlympics, theend tothis successis nowhere in sight.

MikeMontoroMen'sBasketball
Last season, the men's basketball team was introduced to some very talented teams and players in its firstyear ofcompetition atthe Division I level. The Flames were also taught many hard lessons while meeting stiff competition enroute toa 10-17record. But Liberty head coach JeffMeyer has learned from lastyear's experience andhas put it in short perspective. "Experienceis notonlythetoughestinstructor,butthebest," he said.Andwith a year under his team's belt, Meyer confidently stated that, "We are fully capable of competing this year."
Leading thisyear's team without question was senior guard Bailey Alston whohas rewritten the Flames basketball record book. His scoring andleadership were highly valued on such ayoung team. Senior guard TimScarborough concluded his career atLibertyby assistingAlston inthis role.
Steve Farquhar andB.J. Burton made up thebench support forthebackcourt. The "big" peoplewho occupied thefrontcourtwere young,new, and promising. Derrick Williams,transfer Brett Badget,and freshman Dan Shows interchangeably filled the lane joininggreatlyimproved centerMike Coleman. Zach Harrisalsofigured inMeyer's scheme of things.
Bailey Alston
"Six-three senior guard, from Henderson , Nort h Carolina number 10, Bailey Alston!"
Those are the infamous words that introduced that Flames' star guard every basketball game on Liberty Mountain forthelastthreeyears before he dazzled the crowd with his courtexpertise.
Bailey Alston,otherwise known as "B.A." toLiberty students,became a household name atLiberty after his transfer from Rutgers University in 1986
After his decision to leave Rutgers, Alston was recruited by five schools, including Wake Forest, Tennessee and Liberty. He decided to leave thedecisionup tohismother.
"Itold my mother topick which schoolshewanted me togoto,"Alston said. "When Coach (Jeff) Meyer came to visit my home, he impressed me He really seemed genuine."
After sitting out the 1986-87season, Alston averaged 27 points per game (fifthinthenation), and earned the Mason-Dixon Conference's Most Valuable Player Award. Alston recorded acareer-high46pointsagainst Ferrum College during the regular season, and intheMason-Dixon Conferencetournament, he was named totheAll-Tournament team
Alston believesthathe has learned a lot more than just basketball sincehisfirst year with theFlames.
"Since coming to Liberty, I've learned a lotofvalues, on and offthe court, thatwillcarry intolife after school,"Alstonsaid. "I guessI'velearned threeimportantthings: I need toputGod first, putmy priorities in order and respect my fellow man."
Coming intothispastseason,Alstonwasconsideredbymany basketballanalystsasthebestcollegeplayer in the stateofVirginia, many listing him as a candidate for All-America honors Dick Vitale's Basketball Magazine selectedAlstontoitsAll-Independent team and ratedhim thetopoffensiveplayeramong Division IIndependents, while Street & Smith's selected him toits honorable mention All-America team.
Not surprisingly, Alstonis considered tohave agood shotattheprofessionalranksinbasketball. He has been contacted and scouted by a few National BasketballAssociation teams.
"I'd liketoplay pro basketball afterI graduate inMay I've received letters from theChicago Bulls and acoupleoftheexpansion teams," Alstonsaid."I'dliketoseewhat Icandoinarookietrainingcamp. Of course it pumps me up,but it's more pressure than anything."
With somuch unlimited potentialon thebasketball courtand apossiblepro careeron thehorizon, does Alston regretcoming toa small Division I program thathas struggled intherecentyears?
"I can'thelpbuttobeglad tobeherethelastthreeyears," Alstonanswered. "I reallybelieveGod had me come here fora reason. I've learned a lot about life."

Cheerleading
Those who participate in athletic events, whether fansorplayers, sooftentake for granted the role which the cheerleaders play. The enthusiasm projected by them sets the tone for contests played. Their hard work and dedication should never go unnoticed, and, unlike their role, it never does-for theirskilland performance isoutstanding.

"Thisteam is strongerthanany otherteam Libertyhasproduced/' saidhead coachDon Shuler. "We areamore mature team thanlast yearand should be more competitive, especiallyinthe East Regionals."

Worthington: A Definition ofTrue Success
Success stories in today's society are oftenviewed inlightofwhat an individualhasgained forhimselfratherthanhis selflessoutpouring ofloveand devotion. This later type of success ismodeled in Liberty University's former athletic director.
AllanFaltonWorthington, anativeof Alabama whose heart would never be tornfromitshomeland,leftthetoppostin LU's athleticprogram inDecember of 1989 to retire to his beloved state. Worthington vacated a spot that was filled forsevenyearswithconcern and commitment to a firmly established cause. His encouragement has overwhelmed those he's touched,and his determination has helped carry a collegiateathleticprogram thatis competetiveatthehighestlevel. Its facilities, including a brand new track, football stadium, and coliseum in the works, are comparable to any school of Liberty'ssize.
Worthington would undoubtedly be considered a success by anyone's standards. Pitching inover 600 Major League Baseball games and striking out over 800 batters ina stellarcareer that covered 19 professional baseball seasons certainly warrants acknowledgement. His baseball knowledge and experience helped Worthington to begin a baseball program atthisone-timesmallprivatecollege that has emerged a winner and
progressed toDivision 1 status, claiming several LU alumni as major leaguers. Yet these accomplishments and successeshave graciouslybeen used as tools toserveand give. LibertyUniversityand anyindividualimpacted by AlWorthingtonwillneverforgetwhat hehasdonefor them and willneverforgethis exampleof the rightuse ofsuccess.

To fully understand the challenge that wasbefore the golfteam in the spring of1990, one could use ananalogy ofthe Liberty'sfootballsquad playing Notre Dame,Clemson,Michigan, and Nebraska next fall. Theintercollegiate sport ofgolf isnot divided into three descending sectionsinDivision1.Rather,allschoolsparticipatinginDivision1aredivided intogeographical districts withLU fallingintotheACC sectional- asectionalconsidered thetoughestinthenation. The 20-24teams which participateineach tournament were very competetive asLU facedfour ofthetop tenteams inthenation-Clemson,Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and LSU. Sixth-year coachMike Hallunderstood thetaskathand forhisyoung team,buthealsorealizedand grasped the immense opportunity ofgaining respect,courting recruits,and strengthening an already promising program.

Many milestones were achieved during the 1989-90schoolyear intheathletic department at Liberty University. The new Willard May Stadium was inducted as was the new track. Construction ofthe new coliseum was finallyunder way. But the men's tennis team wasleft with four courts on campus on which to practice and play. This presents a problem to Head Coach CarlDiemer and those involved with thetennisprogram did not let thisfactstall their efforts, though.
Despite thedifficultiesfaced, theteam used its fall schedule toprepare fora spring season thatwould cover 20 matches and include a six-match tour ofFlorida over spring break.
Head coachCarlDiemer fieldedayoung squad thatincluded fiveunderclassmen outofthe top sixplayers on the squad. Eddie Bongart, a freshman from Sarasota, Florida, held thetop seed on theteam. Another freshman, Andrew Patton, followed Bongart intheseedings as the number two man. Junior Dave Scoggin rounded out the top three forLiberty.
New tennisfacilitiesareastill-to-be-achieved milestoneinLiberty sportsand will certainly strengthen recruiting. But with amajority ofunderclassmen and two freshmen anchoringthe team,youth served as the strong point on the team.

Coaches had long awaited theannouncement of a newtrackfacilitytobetterthetalentand improve recruitingasLibertyUniversitytriedtowork itsway up the Division 1ladder. Once the announcement came,expectations ofa finefacilitykept growingas constructionbegan and thecompletion dateneared. And asofthe beginning ofa new decade,Liberty University has atrack thatis well worth thewait.
The new track,located alongside Willard May Stadium, isconstructed with top-quality material and iscomposed of twolayers. Thefirstisa base layer made of black rubber polyurethane and the top is afloodlayer.
The newtrackis asimportant tothe track team
as Willard May Stadium is to the football team. According to men's track andfield coach, Brant Tolsma, the biggest advantage of thenew track will be recruiting,asnew recruits canactually see the trackinstead ofhaving tovisualizeitbefore itscompletion. Tolsma added that thetrackwillcutdown on teaminjuries.
LibertyUniversityhad theprivilege of hosting a track meet forthe first time inits history. Three meets were planned with the first one scheduled forMarch 24, 1990.
LibertyUniversity will also seek tohelp others intheirpursuit of excellence intrack and field.
For the firsttime the localhigh schools inthe area willhave a quality track to train on. Before, the nearest good track was an hour away in Roanoke.
The brand new track hassucceeded inpassing everyone's hopes for a quality track that meets the needs ofthe school's teams and enhances recruiting. It alsosavestime and adds convenience forthe members ofthisyear's track team.

Lynn Atwood
Participating in athletics at collegiate levels not only requires the skillsand talentnecessarytocompete but also demands the willingnessto work coupled withadeterminedattitude. Lynn Atwood, a senior from North Bay, Ontario, possesses all these things as she has proven to be an extraordinary athlete.
Athletics has always been a big partofAtwood's life. While in high schoolinNorthBay,whichisjustfour hours north of Toronto, Atwood played sixdifferent sports. Her primary interests were basketball and gymnastics, but she ran track and crosscountry on theside.
Also, during thewinter she competed on herhigh school'svolleyball team and crosscountry skiing teams. Atwood found herself attending an earlymorning practiceand then two practicesat night.
Basketballwas Atwood's biggest sportinhighschool,and upongraduation she attended Briarcrest Bible College in Saskatchewan. She L>™ achieved success on the basketball court while at Briarcrest by making the All-Canadian Collegiate team.
ButAtwood saw an opportunity toparticipateinan up-and-coming NCA A program at aChristianuniversity, and shedecided to transferto Liberty.Her busy, hard-working schedulemaintained while playing numerous sports carried over tothe Lynchburg campus.
After red-shirting during basketball season of her firstyear,Atwood played out her sophomore season. Sheopted notto playherjunioryear, running trackinstead. Butthe contributionsthatAtwood has given tothe crosscountry team arenot easilyforgotten.
The Mason-Dixon ConferenceChampionships in thefall of1989presentedAtwood with the opportunity to help the Lady Flames Cross Country team to a conference title. All Atwood did was seta course record inthe5,000meters attheUniversity of Md.-Baltimore inleading her team toits fifthconsecutive conference championship.
Atwood fulfilledyetanotherdream this pastyearby playingDivisionIbasketball. This, ofcourse, interfered with Atwood's participationintrack, but shewas abletowork outher schedule so thatshe could compete in the primary track meets oftheyear.
Respectand admirationaretwo complimentspaid toAtwood. Butsuchcomplimentsare deserving tosuch a fineperson and athletewho possesses such skilland determination.
Hockey
A team'scharacterisnotalwaysdetermined by thewon /losscolumn attheend of theyear. Itis,instead, composed of a tenacious will and determination to overcomeadversitiesand intenselycompetetothebestofitsability.Character was certainly tested and undoubtedly found in this year'shockey team.
The deathoftheirtrainer,Jimmy Moffitt, in the fallof1989was certainlytragic as theylostnotonly anintegralpartoftheteambutalsoaninspirational friend. Theseason wasimmediately dedicatedto Moffitt.
Practices were few and difficult to establish due to thefact that theclosest hockey rink was found inRoanoke,nearly anhour away. The club remains special because Christian colleges and universities withhockey programs, whether itbea club or ateam,arefewandfarbetween.
The team is young and strong defensively. And, despite allthe problems faced by the team, their hard-hitting play andnever saydie attitude captured andinspired theirnumerous fans. Such qualitiesarefound only inteams with character.

"Young people today aregoing togrow up in a more blessed and freersocietythanmany ofushaveknown.From outofthatenvironment of freedom they are going to have the opportunity to impact and evangelize the world for Jesus Christ in their generation because of communication, transportation,the information industry and all else thatis availabletothem.
They canand theywill do itbecausethere's aLibertyUniversity on the face of this earth today that iscommitted to calling America to repentance, committed to evangelizing the world for Christ in our generation, and committed todoingitby trainingchampions forChrist on ourcampus."
Glen Belden
No matter where you go and what you do, therearealwayspeopleworking behind the scenes to make things run smoothly.
Glen Belden,the vice president foruniversityrelations, is one ofthose people hereat Liberty.
As a student, you rarelyseeBelden, but hiswork is evident all around campus.
He is responsibleforMIS,thosewho let you reachoutand touchsomeone. Liberty's computing system, which keeps track of practicallyeverythingyou do here,is partof this.
Belden alsoworks very closelywith the recruiting and admissions departments which helped you gettoLiberty inthe first place.
Before coming totheuniversity, Belden worked in the public education system in New Hampshire. As he dealtwith thevalues being incorporated into the system, he realized that God was excluded. Being a Christian, this seemed contradictorytohim.
AllofBelden'swork inNew Hampshire had been ininnovation and change,and he saw Libertyas afast growing, innovative institution.It was agood opportunityforhim to use his knowledge and experience in Christian education.
Beldensaid, "IthoughtIwas preparedt contribute to education in a Christian setting."
So he moved his family to Lynchburg and began working for Libertyparttime.In 1983 he became a full-timestaffmember.
Belden has worn many hats in thepast sevenyears, buthe feels thathis role asa fa cilitatorbetween offices is veryimportantto keeptheuniversityrunningsmoothly. Even though the administration is divided into departmentsbyfunction,theymustallwork together in a coordinated fashion, and Belden enjoys working with the staff to bring about that order.
When asked what he likes best about working forLiberty, heresponded,"Being a part of a school that Ihonestly believewill impact the world."
He seesit asa straightforward attempt to make a difference. Liberty is training young Christians in many different fields. Thesestudents, Beldensaid,willbe "thesal oftheearth"astheyscatter acrosstheworld seasoning the communities in which they settle.
Belden is one of many who are constantly working behind the scenes with dedication and determination to help you impact the world.

Jane S.McHaney, Dean of Women at Liberty University and thewife of Denny McHaney, a professor in the Education Department here, wasborn inMobile, Alabama. Her parents, Eric and Martha Sims, moved the family every year of Dean McHaney's elementary education because of her father's involvement in the armed services. She graduated from MerrittIsland High School inFlorida in1974.After high schoolgraduation, Dean McHaney enrolled atLibertyUniversityand graduated in 1982, with amaster's degree incounseling.
After graduating from Liberty, Dean McHaney served asa Resident Supervisor for two years.From that position sheprogressed tobecome theDean ofWomen in July1988.
As Dean of Women, Dean McHaney likes towork with thestudentsinapositive way. "Ilike tohelp people.That iswhyI chose counseling as a career. To assist people, whatever their needs may be, is what Ilike to do," she said. However,as Dean ofWomen, Dean McHaney faces the flip side also. "What Ilike least about my positionis thedisciplineaspect. I donot like it when I have to dismiss students from school," she added.
Dean McHaney has consciously set goals forthe students and forthe school. "The desire Ihave for thestudents here is that each willbe successful.Inorder to be successful, one must live a well-balanced Christian life. The purpose ofthediscipline system here atLiberty is toinstill character and discipline. The building ofcharacter in students iswhat Ihope tobe able tohelp with," Dean McHaney said.
ThegoalsthatDean McHaney hassetfor Liberty University are self explanatory. "I hope thattheschoolwillremain distinctive in nature. Iwant itto continue toattract students who want tobe successful in all areas oftheirlivesincluding academicand spiritual,"shesaid.
"The greatest thing that Ihave learned since Ihave been the Dean ofWomen is to acceptpeopleas theyare, regardlessofwhat they do," Dean McHaney said. "I have learned tolovepeople enough tohelp build them up so they can reach their highest potential.By seeing students come and go, for whatever reasons,and by seeing how they have successfully weathered many stormytimes,Godhasshown methateveryone haspotential."

Ray Sebastian,manager ofprintingservices, came towork forthe ministry in1973. He has seen the growth of Liberty from a small preacher's school,named Lynchburg BaptistCollege, toawell-known liberal arts university.
As theUniversity has grown,sohasthe qualityofwork produced by theprintshop. Sebastian estimates that they have made about 14.6 million impressions over the years.
He has printed everything from those dreaded tests thatourprofessorsmake upto the well-read Liberty Way. Also,they produce office supplies such as memo pads, time cards and 500-page, spiral-bound books.
At first, the shop only printed in black and white. Now theyhavetheequipmentto use many different colors ofink to suitthe needs ofthe customer.
The biggest challenge Sebastian feels is working with people who don'tknow what they want. First, they need to relay what they need, and then the staff must show them theiroptionsand helpthem choosethe bestonefortheparticularjob.Itsoundseasy enough, but when dealing with people who do notunderstand thelanguage,limitations, and the process of making thousands of copies from a rough sketch,it can be difficult.
Sebastian always triestopleasethe customer; however,what heenjoysthemost,he says, is"ajobwell done,ajob the customer is pleased with."
Looking back over the years, Sebastian said, "What Istrove to accomplish wasto supply all the printed materials they needed,and I feellikewe didthat."

An evolutionist turned creationist. A creationist turned LU biology professor. Terry Spohn, awarded teacher ofthe 1988 schoolyear, ledan extremely interesting life prior tohiscoming to Liberty University threeyearsago.
Dr.Spohn,anOhio native, traveled extensively in hischildhood because of his father's military career. As a child he learned toadjust to different environments and situations, many ofwhich were overseas.
He graduated from a high school in Jackson, Ohio. It was the same school from which both his parents and his wife, Kay, graduated.
Dr.Spohn received his Bachelor ofScienceinBiologyatMiami UniversityinOhio. Aftergraduation he married hishigh school sweetheart.
Then came the Vietnam War. Code named "Tango Sierra," Dr.Spohn taught electronics and became anetwork controller for theDefense Communication Agency. It was an incredible responsibility requiring the memorization of hundreds of code numbers. He was in charge of over a hundred stations nationally and internationally.Dr. Spohn described histhreeyears in themilitary as the most stressful, demanding jobheever had.
After the military, he obtained his master's atMiami University in Ohio. His family moved toLubbock,Texas,where he received hisPh.D. at Texas Technological University.
Inthemidst ofhis collegeeducation, Dr. Spohn's faithfaltered. He hadgrown up in aChristianhome and was saved attheageof thirteen. While incollege,hestudied biol-
ogy from an evolutionist view. He, thus, became anevolutionist.
Dr. Spohn saidthathethought "itwould be really great tobein aprofession to seek truthand totransmitit."Inhissearchforthe realtruth, he was discipled forfiveyears by hispastorand friend.Without aBiblebutby using only scientific facts, Dr.Spohn's pastorshowed himthe truth ofcreation.
Dr. Spohn said that Texas will always have a "specialplace"inhis heartbecause it is where two ofhis threechildrenwere born and theplacewhere hefinalizedhiscommitment tothe Lord.
From Texas, Dr.Spohn came to Virginia after a long-time friend and LU biology professor, Paul Sattler, told him of ajob opening at Liberty. Heaccepted thejobas a biology professor.
Outsideofthehustleand bustleofteachingat Liberty, Dr. Spohn involveshimselfin other activities. He enjoys reading, playing chess, andcamping and considers himselfa realsportsnut. He played high schoolbasketball, soccer, and footballand many other sports while in the military. At sixteen, he was a golden gloves boxer. He hasalso received ared beltinKarate.
Dr. Spohn isverymuch afamilyman. "I takeeachdaughter outon adatesothatthey can have astandard as ofhowboys should behave towards them," says Spohn.
In his career asa professor,Dr. Spohn wants hisstudents to know that he cares about them because Christ cared enoughto die forthem. He also wants to help the studentwho is seeking truthashe oncewas. Dr. Spohn notes,"Ifyouwant to deal with truth, you have tostartwith God."

The final year has come and gone. The many years ofhard work have come toa close. Many now standat anothercrossroad;theirminds are worried and fatigued with the thoughtsofwhat is tocome. For many,thisis only a temporary pause inthelong trudge for a higher education. Many will pursue a master's degree and even a doctorate, but forsome,thisis the laststepbefore entering their careers.
TheSenioryear held many mixed emotions. As theyear started, most werefilled withanticipation and fears of what was to come,unsure of their own decisions and goals. Asthe yearprogressed, many became stressedand burdened withwork. School work seemed toconsume their lives.
Now the year has ended; those feelings have turned tojoy and relief. Sleepless nights and daysofworry have dwindled. Many made life-longdecisionstheirSenior year, decisionsthataretheir future. Now theycanreflect. Only theycan decide forthemselves whether the yearswere a success or failure.
From grade school through middle school, highschoolthrough college, all theseyearshave formed what they have become. Many have been influenced by teachers, professorsand parents.Everyindividualwith whom they have come in contact has affected them in some manner. Now they must put allthe pieces together. Their lives have been like giant puzzles with each person and bitof knowledge helping to form a big picture. Montaigne said, "Unless man has an image ofthewhole inhis mind, he cannot possibly arrange the pieces."
Their picture is not complete but large pieces have been laid into place,animageisin mind,the foundationslaid.
Lasting Friends

Her name was Julie. Shesat only two seats away, butabigfootball playersat in betweenus.Inordertotalk,we hadtolean alltheway around him.
Itwasn'tuntilhalfwaythroughthefall that we decided toeat lunchtogether. We found we had a lot in common, and I looked forward toour chats. We started sitting togetherinchapel, and our friendshipgrew.
Theaterclass ended that semester, but our friendship did not. Spring semester came and we would lie on her dorm bed and talk forever about our goals and friends and theguyswe liked. We would takewalks and do crazy thingsthatonly we thoughtwerefunny.
At the beginning of our sophomore year, she met Jon.Theytookme withthem foricecream orpizza. Juliecame to my
dorm room that yearand shared herdreams about wedding bells and long dresses and summer flowers.
Our friendship took on a new meaning when I walked down the wedding aisle ahead ofJulie thesummer beforeour junior year.
Ilistenedwithwonderasshe andJonsaid theirvows.
Many daysofmy junioryearwere spent playing games, eating spaghettiandwatchingtelevisionatJulie and Jon's house.
We stilldream together. Someday we would liketolivenext door and watch our children become best friends.
Now, we faceayearofgraduation, ayear we neverthoughtwould come. Ihad noidea ofthe results ofaskingthat girl inmy theater class toeat lunchwithme.
The future may separate us,but I know thatthisfriendship bound through our collegeyearswill neverend.

Those lastdays of college are drawing near and the excitement seems almost unbearable. Thoughts of diplomas,no exams,and good jobs constantly fill the minds of those who try on graduation gowns and address annoucements.
It is strangehow ambitions and goalscan change so quickly. When we're young,we wanttogetolder and become more mature. When we're teenagers, we
want to quicklyprogressfrom high school to college. When we're in college, we desireto walk acrossthatplatform and feelthe sense of achievement afteryearsofhardwork. When collegehas passed we focus all our attention on finding that perfect career.
Life for the graduate, though,has been focused for several years on Lynchburg and Liberty University. It has beenahome away fromhome. Now,ambitionsand goals will separate friends again and
ings. Some may get the opportunity to return, but those who live toofaraway orhave jobsthatdo not allow time offmay never return.
It is sad tothinkabout all the friends and good timesthat will no longerbe shared. But ambitionscan never blot out memories. New friends willbe made and life will go on, but Liberty University will never beforgotten.
Nancy SchaeferReynard Valdez
Affectionately called "Chief," Reynard Valdez impresses most with his story but inspires all. AnApache Indianfrom northern New Mexico, Reynard found thathis lifewas drastically changed from preparing to become a tribal medicine man tobecoming a Biblicalstudiesmajor whoplans tograduate in May.
At theage of19, Reynard found aragged oldbook ina dresserdrawer and beganreadingit Itonlytooktwo weeks fortheBiblehe found tolead himtotheCreatorhehadoften wondered about.
One year later, "Chief" heard about a remarkable place that could help him fulfill his dream: an institutionoflearningcentered inChristianprinciplesand equipped to train him to helpotherschange as hehad changed. Though at times he has struggled, he has never quit. Fewer andfewer hours separate Reynard andadiploma.
"LibertyUniversity has changed my life; thestudents,facultyand administrationhave helped me togrow through some bad situations and to rejoice in times of blessing," Reynard states.

Life after Graduation
Graduation. Parties. Excitement. Memories. The Senior is thesum total of achievement and success. The senior easily becomes caught up in the thrilling whirl of finishing the last semester of school. This involvesordering graduation regalia, mailing invitations and much more.
May finallyarrivesand thegraduation ceremony pulls the Seniorclass together for one last time. Goodbyes are said and addresses are exchanged.
Each Seniorreturnshome to proud hugs and congratulations.Afterallthe excitement has come to an end, the senior'sfirstsmack ofrealityhits: Ajob isneeded. Thus the Senior exits, and into the spotlight steps the young adult, ready for employment.
Searching for and landing a job is time consuming and attimes frustrating. A new degree doesnotassureone ofan immediate job rightafter graduation. The smart Senior knew to begin hunting before graduation, sending outcomplete and accurateresumes six months ahead oftime.

For many Liberty students and others from the surrounding area, part ofthe uniqueness of Halloween is found in connection with one big house and nine days calledScaremare. Once through the haunted house, people aredirectedtowardthree tents where,for thelast four minutes of their tour, they are compas-
sionately given the gospel. Two speakers in each tent divide the time spent speakingtothehundredsof peoplewho file through.
It is onlythroughthe formula of much prayer and preparation that the real purpose of Scaremare can be achieved. The events that transpire during each four minutes under those tents proves the formula true.

The timehasnow come when theaspirationsyou once had asa Freshman are becoming reality. The goals you setfor yourself are now being fulfilled. You are now midway between two points inyourlife; you have completed the first two years ofcollege life, and you have two moreto finish. You are now aJunior, and the two most important years of your college life lie ahead ofyou.
As a Freshman, you learned the ropes about college life here at Liberty University: how to use your accesscode, how tofind thebestplacetostudy, and how to have fun.
As aSophomore you putto use everything you learned as a Freshman. You hadtostandinlinewithyourpaycheckto pay for the billthat accumulated from your access code use. You put on you sweatshirt, jeans, and L.U.war paint for
everyhome football game. On the weekends,you and your friends tried toput your priorities in perspective with a little studying andawholelotof fun.
Now that your Junioryear has arrived,fun still fits into your schedule, but studiesareat the topof your list. With your general education classes under your belt, your concentration now centers on major classes. These classes are much harder. There are more exams, more term papers, and moreprojects. So you find yourself spending more time studying in the library, butyou do this willinglyknowing that whatyou are learningis the basis for yourfuture.
Knowing whatyour goals are andpursuingthesegoalsiswhatyourJunioryear isall about.

Vendor Man
In the midst of the student shuffle from classes stands a kind, white-haired man besideashiny silver cart topped with a green umbrella.Although hisname is unknown tomost, his smile is not.
His congeniality notonly
draws you tohiscart, butalso thearoma ofhotfood that fills the busy hallways. A wide variety of delicious foodsis available forthehungry student on-the-go.
Your order, accompanied by awarm greetingmakes any morning shine just a little bit more thanks to Troy Hall, the kind andloving vendor man.

A Special Warmth
A chillybreezecatchesthem astheywalk from thedorms. Thereis agrayfogcoveringthecampus with acoolmistspraying from thesky. The physicalatmosphere is gloomy, but awarm glow seems toescape from theseams ofthestructures. It is not a visibleglow. It is awarmth one feelswhen one is atLiberty University. Studentsand faculty atLiberty seem toradiatea warm glow thatcutsthrough those gloomy days.
Sure, therearemoments oftensionand stressthatcauseafew tofalter. Certainlyth foothillslocationofLynchburg oftenproducesundesirableweather.StudentsatLiberty, though, regardless of the situation,seem to generate a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Liberty students and faculty possess a special ability to make ordinary buildings and bland rooms appear to have a radiance. It doesnotmake any difference whether they are ! friends, acquain-
n w» | [ tances, or strangers; everyone has a friendly "hello" to sharewithafellowstudentorvisitor. Liberty seems to draw warm, caring people to its campus. Thisgivesita special atmosphere many campuses could never possess no matter how beautiful the physical setting might be.

Christmascomesbutonceayear, butnotwhere Marilyn Zupan lives. She is from theNorth Pole, and there, Christmas stays year round.
Marilyn is one ofabout 1500 residents inNorth Pole, Alaska. She haslivedat theNorth Polefor13years, and shelovesit. "Itis so differentfrom everywhere else. There is no placelike it."
When onethinksoftheNorth Pole, thefirstthoughtis ofSanta Claus. ThepeopleofNorth Poledo notwant to disappointanyone, so instead of celebrating Christmas only on December 25th, they celebrateit 365 days ofthe year.
"The street lamp decorationsarekeptup all year, and the mall isalsodecoratedwithChristmasornamentsallyear," Marilynsays.
AlsoinNorth Pole, thereis aSantaClaushouse. All theletters addressed to "Santa Claus, North Pole"from childrenaroundthe world actually go tothis house.
North Pole'sseasons arequitedifferentfrom anywhere in the continentalUnited States. There arefour seasons, but springand fall arelessprominent than winter and summer.
When asked what shelikesbestaboutherhome, Marilynsays, "Idon'tmissthecoldweather,butIdomissthesnow.Itisbeautiful It lookslikeaWinter Wonderland."

Dressing forWeather
Hmm, thepleatedblackskirt with thered and white sweater? No,it hasshortsleeves and might notbe warm enough. How about thebluecorduroy skirtand thethick, pink sweater? No,it's still too warm for that.
Can'tthose weathermen give a more accurate forecastoftheweather? How do you dressfor acoolmorning and awarm afternoon? Or afifty- degreetemperature one day and a seventy- degree temperature thenext?
It'sobvious to anyone walking through DeMoss that everyone else has the same problem.Some peoplearewearingsummer clothes-shortskirtsand shortsleeves-while othersarewearing winter clothes- heavy sweaters and boots.
Well, it's theblackand whitechecked skirtwiththeblacksweater. Not toohotand not toocold, justthe perfectfall weatheroutfit.
Wouldn't you know it? It juststarted torain. Oh well, theprocessbeginsagain.

Last year they were meeting new people, learning theirbox code,and figuring out how togettothemall. Now,ayearlater, they know where theperiodicalroom is, how touse an access code and what todo on weekends.
But, they'vehitthesophomore rut. The newness and excitement ofcollegehas worn out, and it's time to getserious about studying.
Probably, theyaregladto giveup their"infamous"freshman stereotype.They are not yetupperclassmen,so they getlostinthemiddle.
Sophomores have an advantage. They can have acarand gettodeclare theirmajor. They know which professors they should take and which classesarehard.
After thesummer break, the sophomore year is a testing time tosee those who have remained friendsand it is atime tomeet new people. It's atime tohave a second chance atroommates and geta fresh starton studying.
Therearealot ofmajor changes thatcan takeplacethesophomore year. Sophomores are no longerlooked down upon. Afterall, theyknow what theyaredoing. They don't haveto askwhere theReligionHallis oranything else forthatmatter. Sophomores can keep up with everyone elseatLiberty.
Sophomores don't quite getintotheirmajor classesyet, but they will soon enough. They've served theirtime, and they'velearned theirlessons. Now, they areready to faceall themany changes thatwilltakeplace inthefuture.

ChrisHollowayup on campus and if walking instead of driving makes these facilities go up even faster,then the majorityof students are glad tohelpout.
Walking has been a big adjustment for LU students,but the cooperation that was shown was much appreciated. No one really enjoyswalking everywhere, but as long as Liberty attracts more and more new students, parking will remain a problem and walking will forever be a must.

The noisecontinues to sound when I realizethisobnoxious noise isthe firealarm on my hall.I thinktomyself:" Maybe if I lie really still they willpass me bywhen they check therooms. Maybe I could roll under my bedorhideinthe closet." Then my senses come back to me, and Irealize maybe this isn'tjust a practice. It could bethereal thing!

It was thejournalism major's home-away-from-home. We gave the phone number to our parents in case of emergency. Dates pickedus upthere. We listed itas our worknumberon job applications. Itbecame the Centerof the Universe.
What we called "home"is actuallyRoom 109inDeMoss, the journalism lab.
The lab was used by public relations and communications classes as well as the Liberty Champion staffand the SELAH staff. OurfosterparentswereMr. MikieSurvantandMrs. AnneWharton, bothlong-timeresidents of the lab.
Students in Wharton's Feature Writing and Layout and Typography classes had mail from home re-routedto the lab. A signhanging on thedoor read: "Disturb Only InCase of Air Bombing."
Journalism majorsdiscovered that notall Applesare healthy, some actuallypreventing sleepand causingbad stomachaches.

Marriott Picnics
To add a little"spice" to college life, Marriott Food Services sponsored picnics throughout the school year.
The picnics were held in the courtyard. The main menu consisted ofhamburgers,hot dogs, and barbecued chicken, with sidedishessuchaspotatochipsand baked beans. Therewasalso punch and lemonade to drink and many different kinds ofice cream to choose from.
Friends sattogether atpicnic tables, on benches,and on the ground,eating and talking about the day'sactivities.
The courtyard picnicswere fun, and aresomething to remember fora long time to come.

The questionsrunning through my mind are why did I botherto get up and why did I try tofix myselffortheday? Steppingoutside, I feel the rain puttering against my umbrella,and I begin my task of walking between the puddlesontheway tomy class.As a cargoesby, my skirt is suddenly spattered with wet, red clay, andI realize that my quest of looking good forschool is a failure. Once inside, I realizethatGod has sent theraintokeepthingsalive; therefore, I must bethankful.

Thefirst year ofcollege is a new experience justwaiting tobe discovered: new places togo, new people tomeet, new ideasand information tolearn, new decisionsto be made, and new responsibilities to take on.
Freshmen have a largetransitiontomake from theminute they areaccepted toattend the University. The transitionincludesnot only adjusting toanew environment butalso the taking on ofresponsibilities that never seemed important before.
Itishard at first tomake thebig adjustment ofsharing abathroom with 70other people and aroom with three strangers, but before long thebig adjustment turns intoa life full of laughs and good times.
Freshmen grow into successful college students with many goalsand aspirations, and the days offirst year jittersare soon past.
Thefreshman year is important inall aspects. It's theyear tomeet people who willbe friendsfora lifetime. It's a year todecide which field tobuild a career in. It's a year to matureand gainindependence. Most important ofall, it is ayear togain confidence and get to know yourself. The freshman year helps one to build friendships as well as character.
Freshmen are great people and deserve much credit for their desire to better their education and sociallifeas well as themselves.

Bad Mornings
As the alarm sounds and I roll out ofmy bed onto the floortrying to turn off that awful noise, my thoughts are turned to the day ahead. Stumbling totheshower, I crashintotheneighbor next door.

Thinking all is going tobe ok, I put on my lucky shirtonly to discoveralargeholeinthearmpit. Realizing everything else is in the dirtyclothes, I get dressed into my roommate's clothes.
Now thatI am dressed, my hair decides to give me another problem. With hairspray, mousse, gel

for the hundredth time
"Hmm...that bedis still crooked. I think you should move it alittle tothe right."
"I justmoved it tothe left."
"Right," my roommate tellsme, "It definitely needs togo right."
"Well," shetellsme,"thatisn'texactlyhow Iwanted it. Maybe you shouldmove itback over..."
Ijustlook atmy roommate. After along day ofclasses,shesuddenly realizes that everything inourroom is eithercrookedor cluttered. Then, sherecruitsme tohelpher move.
Nothing is everperfectforher.No matter where I putsomething, it never seems tobe where she wants it. Firstit's right, then it's left, thenits up, overand down. I getdizzy afterworking for her.
Besides, once shemoves things,it isn't
two days laterthatwe'llhave tomoveit again. Sometimes, I'mready torelax in monotony. Having thesame room design for awhole week wouldn'tbe abadstart. Besides, there is nothing worse than jumping out ofbedand ruining any enthusiasm I hadby stubbing my toe on a desk thatwasn't thereyesterday.
"Okay,maybe you are right,"she tells me. "I won't make you move it again."I sigh in reliefand step out to look at our ingenious design.
Everything looks perfectexcept... well, prettyperfect. Thereis something wrong with that bed. I look at itforseveral moments before I discover the problem.
"Right," I say, "thatbed definitelyneeds togotothe right."

It'sallapartofgrowing up, they say. Talking to newpeople,making new friends. There are so many people in the world. So many stories to betold.

The faculty and staff watch in amazement from their office windows every year. Some just shake their heads and othersactually shed a tear. They all see students and parents unloading cars, carting boxes, and sayinggoodbye. Therearesomeparents, however, that keep hanging around, not wanting to leave their baby. Moms cry and Dads offer advice. Of coursemoststudents try to hold back the tears.

The telephone is a source of survival - one that a college student understands. Conversations rangefrom "What's on theexam tomorrow?" to "I want toorder apizza."
Thanks tothe wonderful invention ofAlexander Graham Bell, we are able to "Reach Out and Touch Someone."
We socialize, catch up on the latest "campus" news and enjoy each other'sfriendship by talking on thephone.
Guys findit easiertoask agirl outon the phone and feel more at ease getting toknow her through theirconversation.
It certainlyisalife savertocall yourprofessors' officesrather than hike to thebuilding they're locatedin.
Thebiggestplusinusing thetelephoneis tohear agreatbig, "We loveyou and missyou"from your very own home sweet home.

Dorm Parents
Where do you go to get away from dorm life?
Where doyougotorelaxandwatch your favoriteTV show?
Where doyougoforsome good home cooking? Yourparents' house, ofcourse! Your dorm parents, that is.
Dorm parentsopen up theirhomes tostudents who needto get away from it all. It is ahome away from home. Itis a retreat from theroutinedorm life. Cookouts, birthday parties, movies and games canbefound inside any oneofthese open doors~not to mention a sympathetic ear and a shoulder tocryon if you needit.
So why do college kids,away from home and on their own, want asecond setofparents? These parentsaredifferentfrom the setthey leftbehind,teary-eyed and fullofadvice. Dorm parentsaren'ttheretoput restrictionsonyouortobesure you aredoing your homework. They aretherefor fun.
Just don'ttell yourreal parentshowmuch funthis secondset ofparents reallyis.They mightgettheideayou are stayinghere and rentyour room out athome!
