INTERVIEW Judy Cherry 1. WHAT DOES LIPSCOMB AS A SENSE OF PLACE MEAN TO YOU? As a graduating senior, it will be hard for me to leave what ve considered my home for the past four years. |! hope time won't ever diminish the close feelings that | now have for all of the students who make Lipscomb what it is. If I’m fortunate enough to be able to revisit this campus in the future, the scenes | will recall the most will be those involving good friends and good times. Lipscomb stands as a reminder of some of my most rewarding years. 2. HOW DO YOU THINK LIPSCOMB BEST PREPARES YOU FOR A MODERN WORLD? It’s hard to be exposed to a certain sense of values for four years without being affected. Lipscomb provides a frame of ref- erence wherein solutions to any questions may be found. The interpersonal relationships which grow at Lipscomb provide a good foundation for dealing with life and its problems. The best preparation does not occur in the classroom, but rather outside the room where one learns how to successfully relate to people and the world. 3. HOW DO YOU THINK WORLD HISTORY WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE OIL CRISIS? | personally feel that history will record the oil crisis as one of the major obstacles that the ecology movement will ever have to face. The United States has already suspended many of its environmental laws as the ecology movement takes a back seat to the oil industries. Unless new sources ease the energy crunch, world history could see this age as one of declining economics all over the world. 4, WHAT EFFECT WILL WATERGATE HAVE ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? Watergate marks a great tragedy on the American political scene. Hopefully, its effect on the American people will be all for the good. There is a swelling demand for more scrutiny of public officials and an increased desire for more response on the part of the nation’s leaders to the needs of the average American.

24 INTERVIEW Gary Underwood 1. WHAT DOES LIPSCOMB AS A SENSE OF PLACE MEAN TO YOU? A person must first determine where he is before he can know where he is going. Lipscomb has helped me obtain that sense of place, so that | can better pursue my goals. 2. HOW DO YOU THINK LIPSCOMB BEST PREPARES YOU FOR A MODERN WORLD? Obviously, Lipscomb has helped prepare me academically for the modern world. More importantly, however, Lipscomb has confronted me with questions and ideas that have helped me evaluate my goals, my purpose, and myself. 3, HOW DO YOU THINK WORLD HISTORY WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE OIL CRISIS? | hope that the most profound result of the energy crisis will be an auspicious change in American economic position and pol- icy. The American people represent only 6% of the world’s population, but they consume roughly 60% of the world’s pro- duction from natural resources. The energy crisis has not only encouraged frugality, but may also precipitate scientific and technological achievement that can provide a more equitable dis- tribution of the world’s resources through new energy sources. 4. WHAT EFFECT WILL WATERGATE HAVE ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? In the short run, Watergate will continue to produce bad effects—frustration, disillusionment, insecurity. However, in the long run this fallen countenance may have desirable effects. The public may become less susceptible to unwarranted authoritative intimidation. This less submissive public attitude would make it mor e difficult for unscrupulous politicians to deceive the public and would ctieck capricious government actions.
