( livt ' t Na ariMU ' C lli ' t ' cinuhinj; staff is proud of the student body. Spec- tator attendance has helped to build the continuing strength of the sports program. One of the women coaches, Brenda Pat- terson, says that fans get the team ' s adrenaline going. More importantly, They have control of the momentum in a game that is close and take part in its outcome. Ralph Hodge, Olivet ' s basketball coach, claims, The fans are very sup- portive and loyal to us, and it doesn ' t matter whether we ' re winning or losing. They give players an extra urge to give more when they feel like quitting. Coach Larry Wat- son, director of athletics, acknowl- edges that the fans are what people most see. Through his leadership, he hopes to portray a three-fold witness of the college. As the coaches and players demonstrate control and good conduct, their actions will be models for the fans to copy. Overall, the coaches can tell that the fans are behind their teams 100%. (D. Rantz) Intensity on viewers ' faces. Crowded stands evidence students ' enthusiasm. Prof. Armstrong and wife watcfiing a game. his Football is a girl ' s favorite pastime. Fans as Vieived by Athletes The goes crowd always wild when something exciting happens in an athletic event. Some of them get very involved in what is actually hap- pening, screaming and cheering the team on. Many even show up at games dressed in crazy ways to show their spirit and support. Of course, the other spec- tators in the stands notice all this . . . but what about the athletes themselves? Do they really notice the efforts the fans put forth? Does it mean anything to them or effect them in any way? The majority of athletes seem to think so. They agree that fans bring extra motivation and encouragement. No matter what the sport is, the fans ma or break the gamt states one cheerleadc It makes thej adrenaline flow aij that can make all t:| difference. Baseb player Phil Cable fe that fans can motivi an athlete to rise to t peak of his perfdj mance while Janr Williams, volleyba comments, It ' s mo fun to play in front 0(| crowd, especially crowd that is su portive and wants to there. Senior footb player Mitch Coir sums it all up — having fans at a fo ball game is like a si dae without the che on top. It ' s an adc dimension to the ga that makes the spv more enjoyable. ; Whitacker) I ii

Lounges Night Life As night sets in at NC, 1700 exhausted ople who were sure ey wouldn ' t make it rough that 2:30 p.m. iss are finding their cond winds. They ' ve rvived another day of ademia, and the ght belongs to them. A quick look around e campus reveals me distinct night ne habits. Some are gging, some are idying, and some are iring starry-eyed into meone else ' s starry es. Who ' s doing lat, depends on three mgs: (1) Who ' s no- ed their clothes are tting snug; (2) Who ' s t a massive exam at a.m. tomorrow; Id (3) Who doesn ' t ve (1) or (2) to worry put. Jndoubtedly the St places to ex- rience a sampling of ivet night life are the |rms, or more ecifically, the imges of the dorms. )m sedate, dimly lit lis Mortuary to the ight, noisy (some- i les too) steadfastly supervised Williams Loung if it is happen- ing at ONC it ' s being dicussed, debated, or done in one of the stu- dent lounges. What ' s amazing is that anyone actually gets any serious school work done in a lounge. How anyone surround- ed by rowdies listening to Cindy Lauper and screaming about their weekend plans can at- tempt to write a sensi- ble paper is amazing. In spite of their little quirks and borderline misuses, the l ounges at Olivet do serve the positive purposes for which they were designed. If fellowship, sharing, and good spirit are the ends, then the lounges are one very effective means. And if you ' re bored with working in the peace and quiet of your room or library, go to your lounge. You may get Pepsi on your project, but you ' ll probably make some friends. (S. Kuberski and D. Spontanski) nty Parsons and Rosanna Hurt at an ONC sporting event Carol Rittenhouse, Brian Lake and Kim Meyering study in Nesbitt Lounge. A tired ONC student can sleep anywhere.

I thought you could only find those at secular college cam- puses! What exactly is a social life, where are the social spots, and who are the sociable people at Olivet? ONC seems to have a reputation for little or no dating. If that ' s your defini- tion of a social life then very few peo- ple have one. But there is definite evidence to prove that social ac- tivities either date or non-date oriented take place, you just have to look in the right places. Why not pick one evening to stroll through the dorm lounges? Couples who frequent them are prime examples of sociable creatures, but they are not the only ones who ?[ualify! You will ind lots of other students engaging in amiable events. Group favorites in- clude the ever popular Rook or Trivial Pursuit. Videos in Nesbitt usually attract a standing room only crowd. Cozy fireplaces make Hills, McClain, and Parrott popular spots on nippy, winter nights. As for Chap- man and Williams, the continous night life of a freshman dorm should be quite enough activi- ty to satisfy most people. So you see, students at ONC don ' t have to date to have a social life. Webster says that social means marked by pleasant companionship with one ' s friends, and that type of social ac- tivity is very com- mon at Olivet! (D. Preush) Student Life 19

everal students, whether they A ere avid, ex- ?erienced skaters or tot, enjoyed the late kates. Most agreed hat they are a great vay to socialize. Jo Williamson — ' I don ' t like to skate, )ut feel they are vorthwhile. Like nost of my friends, I eel that they are a ;ood way to get bet- er acquainted. Jim St. John — I ike the social part of t — if you do not all on your face five housand times like ne ... My best riend at a late skate s the sturdy wall to lang on to! I hate to all. Robin Snyder — I hink late skates are un. I can just sit lown and say hi to lew people and earn things about ny friends I never new before.

Penny Davis — hink the late skates re a good way to leet people. Shane Semkin — I like late skates if I not have to get up arly the next morn- tig. I like to go and less around with y friends. Annie Winder — 1 like them because hey are an excellent lethod of getting to now people. (C. tanley) A Lore What? Late skates are spon- sored by nearly every organization on cam- pus. You think, What? A late what? A late skate. A time for students to demon- strate their skating ex- pertise and unusual styles. Most students are very responsive, at- tending frequently and supporting their group or organization. Think about it: Fri- day night and the end of a long week. What better way to unwind and give your brain a break! Skating provides physical activity (no desks or books!) and an alternative place to become better ac- quainted with friends, as well as make new ones. Late skates can be used as a time of fellowship and ministry, as our spiritual life is strengthened by all we do for Christ ' s sake. The next time someone asks A late what? s say LATE SKATE! (C. Stanley) Danis Yocum rests her tired feet. Round we roll, where we stop only the floor knows.
