It seemed like the campus was finally taking a long needed breath after the rush all day. Then the chimes rang. Typical. Yet, even the most relaxing times had to be scheduled around class assign- ments, work, club activities and church. It was not uncommon for a student to have an hour-by-hour schedule of the day from an eight o'clock class to nine p.m. (Cont. page 4) The Living Design 3 an ete RE ee Cr SE NO a ee ee | ON THE OTHER SIDE of our empty mailboxes, there is always something to do for work-study employees.

From the course prefer- ence survey to organizing the Centennial Campaign, everything, the plans, pro- grams, the people, seemed to work on a time table. Of course, there was the unexpected — dressing in sweaters for cold November mornings which turned into sweaty 80 degree afternoons. Or carrying umbrellas all day in the sunshine. We could plan to the last detail homecoming events, but who could predict Poland’s crisis, the air controllers’ strike or the Washington D.C. plane crash?

The Living Design — what it meant was we made it happen. We created floats, devised student senate campaigns and prepared the agenda for club meetings. Individually we all added to the design we had made. And it affected everything we experienced from button downs and Nikes to changing our major again to the people we knew back home.

And when we did something, we had a reputation for doing it right — that meant hard work. It affected everyone. Presidents of clubs and other leaders made plans early in May for the coming year. Andy West- moreland worked in the summer to tie up loose ends. And then, student leaders tried to remember what it was like to bea freshman through another orientation. The administration was deep in prepa- ration for the centennial program. And students had to decide how to schedule classes and study time around club ac- tivities, work and soaps. The cafeteria even had some re- semblance of order. Knowing who sat where was as predictable as Walt serving Jello.

Everything, D down to the most trivial event, ran like clockwork. Oh, there were the usual last minute details whenever an event rolled around, but almost nothing major. “It's really a pretty bureaucratic story — the way things are done around here. But when you’ve got as many students with so many interests, you have to have some sort of system worked out,” said Andy Westmore- land, whose student center office or- ganized events on campus. Planning the official school calendar was without a doubt systematic. There were forms to be filled out, requisitions to be made and approval to be ob- tained. “We really get a lot of cooperation from all angles,’ commented Andy. “Both students and faculty are very flexible with their requests, especially when they know all the facts. People are generally very reasonable if they know you re not trying to put one over on them,” he added. The whole thing started during the previous March. Requests for calendar events for the following year were sent to faculty and staff members. “Getting things back from faculty is often pretty slow, so we sent out a sec- ond request during April,’ Andy said. After all the requests were in, a tenta- tive calendar was drawn up and mailed to faculty, staff and students. This was done prior to commencement in May, so everyone would have a chance to work things out. “Changes and additions were con- ° stantly recorded during the summer,” added Andy. “Then club and organiza- tional presidents met during the Stu- dent Leadership Workshop in August to ‘finalize’ the calendar.” “Luse the term ‘finalize’ loosely,”’ he cautioned, ‘‘for nothing is ever really final when it comes to the calendar.” The final draft of the calendar is then mailed out all over campus. “Calendar additions were mailed out periodically throughout the year,”’ ‘added Andy, “‘as things come up.” After events were scheduled, the “red tape’ fun had only begun. Then came requisition time. A site for the event had to be obtained and con- firmed by the supervisor of whichever building the event was to be held in. “Requests are almost never turned down, unless of course there is a con- flict in the schedule already. And we’re supposed to prevent that,” said Andy. “We have very few flair-ups in working it all out; people are pretty coopera- tive.” As well as obtaining permission for the use of building facilities, one had to request whatever special services were required to make it all a success. This often meant catering by Walt’s. “Most of our problems occur with food requests,” said Andy. After it was all arranged and ap- proved, events were posted on a large magnetic calendar on the wall of the ESC office, where Evelyn Bettis ‘‘runs the whole show” according to Andy. “It’s a pretty efficient system for get- ting it all in order,” said Andy, sum- ming up all the details.

You’ve got to study around the clock.” So went the unofficial theme song of many students, whose activities force them into late-night study sessions. The typical over-doer was easy to recognize; he or she was always either doing something or on their way to doing something. The eyes were slightly closed searching for sleep when he remained stationary for too long. The rest of an over-doer’s body may have looked like anyone else’s but he may also have bad posture resulting in the proverbial over-doer’s backache. Just about all the over-doers would fit into one of two basic categories. For our purposes we will call them the early bookworms and the late-crammers. The early bookworms were proba- bly the smaller group and they typically led a much different lifestyle. Roger Morgan, a senior accounting major and member of the Ouachita Baptist Student Foundation steering committee, had an eight o’clock (a.m.) class on every weekday. He chose it that way. (Quite a contrast from the trauma caused by eight o’clock classes to the late-crammers.) The typical early bookworm would rise from the bed about six or 6:30 a.m. and after dressing to begin the day ac- tually ate breakfast (a meal the late- crammers don’t know about) and then hit the books. The exact routine may have varied. Sonja Clinesmith, a sophomore, said, “I work late at night until I get a headache, then I get up early after a few hours of sleep.” Morgan said he always went to bed relatively early and got up early to eat breakfast. His key? Organization. He said he never planned out his day min- ute by minute but he stayed in a defi- nite routine. For instance, every week- day evening from six to eight he did homework and he spent from nine to ten with his fiance, Mollie Smith. “I’m an accounting major so I’ve al- ways got homework. . . but Mollie and I reserve that hour for ourselves,” he said. The predictability of his - homework assisted Morgan in his at- tempt to stay in his routine. It also helps that he was prompt. ‘“There are very few times I have been late for anythin g Getting it done - somehow in my life.” By the constant routine, he avoids the greatest college villain — procrasti- nation. Ouachita junior Beth Laney called it the most universal problem college students have. Students employed three - main plans in which to attack the procrasti- nation problem. One was sticking to a disciplined routine such as Morgan’s. Another was to over-indulge in cam- pus activities in an effort to fill up any time that might be wasted. And the third was to simply put off solving the problem. Most over-doers involved them- selves to the point that they simply ran out of time to procrastinate. “IT need challenges all the time,” Laney said. Sophomore Myra Cona- way said she had to have her activities even though they severely restrict her sleep and even occasionally adversely affect a grade. Would an over-doer make better grades if less time was taken by ac- tivities? Conaway said yes in some iso- lated circumstances but not to an over- all rule. Laney said her grades may even suffer without her activities. “‘I probably would get bored and not do as well,” she said. Two other characteristics were shared by most over-doers. They were in almost complete unison when they say weekends are used for catching up on sleep. Favorite naptimes include Saturday mornings and Sunday after- noons. Saturday afternoons and eve- ning were usually reserved for finally getting some exercise or another activ- ity — on or off campus. Sunday nights are almost always saved for home- work. If procrastination was a problem, it hit its height on Sunday. Another similar characteristic at least among female over-doers was a great affinity (or need) for making lists of things to be done that day. “Tm constantly making lists,” Mollie Smith said. “And it works, I keep up with everything pretty well.” Sonja Clinesmith sounded less op- timistic, ‘‘I used to make them all the time ... but now I’m running out of time to make my lists.” The life of an over-doer may have been a hard one; it was certainly an active one. Very few regret their in- volvement, however. As Myra Con- away said, “Somehow it all gets done.”’ Cc) “always doing something or on their way to doing something.”’ LISTS seem to keep everything organized, until there’s no time to make lists. 14 Student Life The HPER complex | grew from ideas to plastic models to ground breaking Building by DeAnna Travis he model of the new Health, Phys- ical, Education and Recreation Complex stood under glass by the door in the student union. The dream had been a long time in the making. What had been talked about since 1976 finally reached a visible stage on February 16 in Rockefeller Gym. The groundbreaking of the HPER center marked the beginning of the Ouachita at 100 Campaign designed to raise the school to new level s of strength be- tween 1981 and 1986. “In 1976 we began asking our- selves, what do we want Ouachita to be on her 100th birthday in 1986?” Dr. Daniel R. Grant said. Ten broad goals were formed to be reached by that time. “But this year,” Dr. Grant said, “began the really active beginning of fund raising to meet those goals.” Among the several fund raising sources, the centennial campaign committee concentrated this year on three home based areas; the trustees and former trustees, the faculty and staff and the Arkadelphia residents. “We start at home to get a strong vote of confidence here before we go out to other sources,”’ Dr. Grant said. The first phase of the campaign will 66 ... the most ambitious undertaking in the history of the university.’ INALLY, groundbreaking day ar- ives, complete with bad weather. eremonies are moved inside Rocke- eller Gym.

The estimated cost of each duilding is $4 million. The first objective will provide funds or new library equipment, scholar- ships, staff salaries, educational pro- jrams and increased leadership for the ocal church. The second objective will give top yriority to two of the seven new build- ngs or additions to buildings. The HPER complex will provide multi- purpose facilities for two basketball courts, four volleyball courts, an indoor track, a 25-yard or meter swimming pool, classrooms, offices, a gymnastics room, fitness lab, and a weight room. Rockefeller Field House will be re- modeled to increase the seating capac- ity to 3,000 and provide other im- provements. Although many of us will not see the HPER complex beyond the model in the SUB, Dr. Grant said, ‘“‘Students this year are a part of a very exciting movement. . . the most ambitious un- dertaking in the history of the univer- Situ [wo] Centennial Feature 15 by Cyndi Garrett nd they’re off! “His Kids” on A« inside takes the early lead ... “Turtells” broke sluggishly, but gaining ground. . . on the outside, holding third, it’s: ‘Gamma Gals” by three quarters of a length ... and there, coming to the head of the stretch, “His Kids’ leads by two lengths ... and breaking through on the inside, here comes the ‘‘Turtells’’!

Magic Springs came on over to OBU and brought live entertainment during the trike race, from the country show... featuring some of Ouachita’s own stu- dent entertainers! And to think the trike race was only the second exciting event of the weekend. Torro, the mechanical bull, kicked off Tiger Traks 81, on April 9, with the Chuck Wagon Bar-B-Q, including Cot- ton Ivy and western wear decorating the Evans Student Center Plaza. Beginning early in the third day of the weekend, the Super Teams contest activated at 8 a.m. High school stu- dents from 20 churches in Arkansas competed in five events: Volkswagen push, relay race, frisbee throw, tug- of-war, and egg toss. Also, Saturday morning, the Tiger Traks Trot and Fun Run began at Rockefeller Field House, while next door, the Celebrity Tennis Classic was in full swing at OBU’s Freeman Dunklin Tennis Center. The Red Riders rode to glory, Satur- day afternoon, winning the men’s Bike Race, “Spud” placing second, and “Sigma Alpha Sigma I,” coming in third in the event. Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in one giant bound, stronger than a locomotive ... it’s Superstars! And what a display of en- durance was shown during the ten ath- letic events Saturday afternoon! A. U. Williams Field was the site for the an- nual superstar’s competition involving ten women and ten men. Areas of competition included a run, dodge and jump, softball throw, bowling, tennis, 440 yard run, 100 yard dash, swim- ming, rope climbing, and an obstacle course. Kerri Culpepper won the women’s superstars and Trevor Lavy won the men’s competition.

Black robes, fears and puddles When rainy skies forced graduation inside, the outcome proved less than disappointing by DeAnna Travis For the first time in years, it rained. When the decision was between a soggy A. U. Williams field and aluminum bleachers with little puddles vs. moving commencement inside Rockerfeller Gym, the choice was dis- appointing, yet obvious. Maintenance crews managed at the last minute to move chairs in and set up sound equipment in an effort to bring the atmosphere traditionally found on the football field inside the gym. At 5 p.m. family and _ friends crowded close together on the bleachers to make room for even more parents and grandparents. And still people were left standing next to the wall holding babies, reading their pro- grams and occasionally shifting their feet. But as the university band began the processional music, the mood that was created would have been hard to pro- duce in the openness of a football stadium. Emerging from the crowded base- ment the graduates were led by the faculty members — their black robes decorated in colors signifying their de- grees. Through the double row of pro- fessors the seniors entered the gym creating those few moments that would be difficult to recapture — those moments when students looked into their teachers faces with -a new perspective. The teachers had not only watched their students grow academically — but had watched their personalities THE FEELING CANNOT BE RE- PLACED. On May 9, as the 1981 class entered the gym, the closeness between professors and students was evident. mature.

Winter’s alter-ego. Summer. It began with April's warm breezes, became Lake DeGray days in May and matured in time for our farewell finals. The last test was over and three glorious months were in order. At last, a chance to get away from the grind, laze around, or make some money. And for the academically-inclined, there were eight weeks of summer school. Kay Green, a junior special educa- tion major went the scholastic route. She said, ‘‘I went to summer school for the hours. I didn’t think I'd enjoy it, but it was really fun. I’m even planning to go again next year. | might as well enjoy one last summer of afternoons at the lake.” The summer also saw second and third year veterans returning for extra hours. ‘“‘This was my second summer, ” said Kelly Norton, ‘‘so I really knew the ropes.” That partly meant how to creatively beat hundreds of campers to the front of the line at meal time. When camps composed of junior high basketball boys, Girls’ State delegates, and the nation’s Baptist Student Union direc- tors and their families, the summer school students were actually in the minority. Another trick to learn was how to get studying done before the library closed at 5 p.m. Braving the ever present mosquito, students retreated to Terrel Moore. Academically, the summer proved to be the biggest challenge, especially for those who had 6:30 a.m. classes. “It’s incredible the amount of reading that was required,’ Deb Banzhof said. “What actually happened is that we crammed what normally is read in four months time into four weeks.” Summarizing her feelings, Kelly Morton said, “‘It got a little boring. If I could have done something else for the summer, I would have.” FOR 465 STUDENTS, summer means more school and another registration line. Ultimately, summer school did pay off for fifty-three students on July 31. At 10:30 am. in Mitchell Au- ditorium, Dr. Dolphus Whitte, Jr., executive director of the Joint Educa- tional Consortium, delivered the commencement address. Dr. Daniel Grant awarded 29 stu- dents with bachelors degrees and 24 with masters. Other than the 465 students in- volved in summer school, everyone else did everything from hanging out at hometown pools, to working at odd jobs, to becoming stars. That’s right. Stars. — in the musical variety shows at Magic Springs. OBU students sang, danced and played their heart way into the hearts of visitors to the amusement park. “Give your family a magical day, Magic Springs, ... Magic Springs.” The words were from television adver- tisements and were plastered on billboards and pamphlets. What was so unique was that several OBU students were the stars. Most of the performers got into their jobs for the ‘fun and excitement” of it. But many of them found that the work had a way of opening doors for other opportunities. One such student was Deanna Briley, a rookie performer. She said, “The work itself was exciting, but the chances that have stemmed from it are unbelievable.”” Deanna’s opportuni- ties included singing with a group called Country Connection, and cut- ting a demo-tape for the theme song of the movie “So Fine.” And so, the summer was a mixture of experiences, each as unique as the students who lived them.

I couldn’t wait to leave all I'd grown up with, yet somehow I wanted to take it all with me. I wondered if I would even miss my mother’s nagging.

Beyond the locked door a blood curdling scream echos in the hall and hys- terical laughter explodes in the dark- ness. Gruff yells can be then be heard and several doors slam. Is this a night- mare? Opening your eyes, you find yourself in a bare, unfamiliar room. In the bed next to yours a stranger stirs and wriggles and tries to sleep. This stranger is your roommate who will become your family away from home. The screams and laughter which previously disturbed your sleep are amusing because they are done by friends down the hall. When the pul- ) sating walls caused by a neighbor’s stereo actually aid sleep, you’ve made the transition to dorm life. Dorm life cannot be described by _ one word. Only after observing each dorm and its residents can the true per- sonality be seen because each dorm is so different. For example, Flippen- Perrin has an air of excitement which cannot be found anywhere else. This ' excitement is attributed to the viva- ciousness of its residents — freshman girls. In contrast to Flippen-Perrin’s personality is Francis Crawford dorm. The atmosphere upon entering _ Francis Crawford is more like that of a museum than a dorm. To find the true personality, each floor must be ob- served. Some halls are occupied by specific social clubs while others are unified by the personalities of the girls: living there. While some floors have traditional characteristics, some change with each class of occupants. The remaining women’s dor- EARLY MORN ING finds this student, a resident of Daniel men’s dorm, trying to _ get just a little more sleep in his bedrag- _ gled bed. mitories, O. C. Bailey and Cone- Bottoms, house fewer students but still retain distinct personalities. Possibly because of their size, these dorms tend to be more unified than Flippen-Perrin or Francis Crawford. O. C. Bailey houses mostly junior and senior women. Because of its good location, there is always a waiting list to move in. One drawback that keeps many upperclass girls in Francis Craw- ford is community facilities. However, the girls that do live in O. C. Bailey don’t seem to be inconvenienced. Cone-Bottoms also has a few incon- veniences because of its age. How- ever, this age gives the dorm tradition — one which lends itself to ghost stories. One favorite story is about an accident that happened many years ago. These tales do not take away from the hominess of the building, though, because the lobby looks like an Elizabethan period living room, with crystal chandeliers and all. The men’s dorms have as much per- sonality as the women’s, also as much variety. Daniel houses the freshmen on the first floor. Such pranks as throwing cans down. the hall and locking each other out of rooms are typical of the freshman residents. The other two floors in both the north and south ends of Daniel house a variety of upperclassmen. The third floor on the north end is occupied by the Red Shirts and the second floor on the south end houses the S’s. These active groups add to Daniel’s colorful atmosphere. Across the sidewalk from Daniel is Ernest Bailey. The east end, or the end closest to Daniel houses the football players. These residents have to obey the strictest of rules, those laid down by the coach. Because of their curfew and lights out time they miss out on some of the “fun” which goes on in the other men’s dorms. The west end of Ernest Bailey is pos- sibly the ‘‘deadest’’ men’s dorm and only the third floor has any visible per- sonality. This floor is dominated by the religion majors, who have elected floor officers and have weekly meetings. West dormitory, which is beside Er- nest Bailey and designed exactly the same, takes advantage of the short halls and community facilities using them as chances to get to know each other. Because these halls are short, everyone knows each other and most residents share the hall phone. The west end houses a number of basket- ball players. The remaining rooms are occupied by some baseball players and some S’s. Blake also houses a number of baseball players. It is the oldest men’s dorm and is lovingly referred to as “The Blake Hilton.”’ The men living in Blake have formed a family and call themselves ‘The Blake Brothers.”’ Unity such as this could only come from living in a building like Blake. The favorite male dorm, as the wait- ing list shows, is Conger. Most resi- dents are juniors and seniors who have been on the list since their sophomore year. Beta’s also fill a great many of the rooms. Conger has two advantages: its good location and the rooms. Instead of one room, the rooms in Conger are divided into a living space and a sleep- ing space. Wherever you choose to live or wherever you are placed, you can make your dorm room your home if you choose to.

These are the voyages of } Jane and Joe College. Their five-year mission: To explore strange new tastes, to seek out the salad bar and seat themselves accordingly, to boldly sit where they may never have sat before. Yes, the salad bar phenomenon, with its left and right, was even stranger than science fiction. How it started no one really knew, but the unwritten rules of cafeteria ter- ritories prevailed — even at the ex- pense of skipping a meal simply be- cause the left side happened to be full. “T can sit on either side,” said Mike Spivey, “but some people won't eat unless they can sit on the left side.” General consensus had it that up- perclassmen, especially social club members and jocks opted for the left, while freshmen tended to lean toward the right (no political pun intended). For those seeking total anonymity there was always the extreme right, commonly termed Siberia, or the Back Forty, or Southfork. _ And, in fact, sitting on the left seemed to represent status. Bill Bur- ton, a transfer student, told this story: “Another transfer asked me which side I sat on. When | said the left, she couldn’t believe it. “You sit on the Beautiful people side? I thought you had to work up to that!’ ” Michelle Raymick, a left side regular, agreed that “it’s like two different worlds. It’s unfortunate but it’s reality.” “Reality” — students separated by bacon bits and lettuce, while they wondered, ‘‘is the food really better on the other side?” (__] TO THE LEFT SIDE, ath- letes and some social club members congregate for dinner. STUDENTS CHOOSE, of course, to sit by friends during meal time. But where we sat said a great deal about who we were socially. Cafeteria Feature 27 ONE OF THE STEREO- TYPED BEHAVIORS of a jock was the amount of food they q ate. Rufus Herndon prepares a peanut butter and jelly snack in Walt’s. 28 Student Life Reading the labels People could easily be placed in several distinct categories; it was harder to find the real person inside by Judy Waight label on a food could indicate to the consumer what kind of product was inside. When a label was pinned by others on a certain type of person according to his appearance, interests, or the company he kept, assumptions were made and the person was stamped. This kind of stereotyping was not necessarily an intentional act of abu- siveness, says Elliot Aronson in his book, The Social Animal. “‘It is fre- quently merely a way of simplifying our view for the world.” In our world at Ouachita we have personal labels attached to certain groups. Picture for a moment, a young woman, 18, stuffing last minute neces- sities into her suitcase. She was dressed immaculately with an air of sophistica- tion about her. Every hair was in place as she hurriedly put in the Websters, an econ-size box of Tide, and as a last thought, the daily newspaper. Her younger sister sat on the dresser swing- ing her legs in front of her asking child- ish questions about her older sister’s debut at college. As if on a talk show, the mature sister explained gently her plans to be involved in student gov- ernment, make new acquaintances | t was common knowledge that a ‘and study business and marketing in order to obtain ... a husband! The gleam came into the eye and the lips part enough for a pink bubble to burst through. Yes, we saw her on campus; the famed “MRS Degree seeker.” She could smell a good looking guy coming from a mile off and just happened to walk down his sidewalk at the same instant in hope of an encounter. She entered the cafeteria and as she served her salad her eyes scanned the room quickly until she spied the unknowing victim and picked the spot where she could make her move. Going through registration her thoughts weren’t on class schedule, chapel, or financial aid but on twirp week prospects. In other words, the binoculars and net in her closet were not for botany class. Where else could a girl go to find an eligible decent man to steal her away and save her from her fate? In his Applied Sociology class, Professor Quick referred to this girl as one who was majoring in Boylogy. However on the flip side of the coin you could usually see the male gender. And he may have been straining his neck, happening along her sidewalk and sitting next to the salad bar. What do you call the person who was to be heard and not seen? The Music major.” Damona Robbins, a communica- tions major admitted that before enter- ing Ouachita, she thought a person had to be a singer or pianist in order to be anything at OBU. Although she found it not to be true, there was a good amount of prestige attached to being a musician. We had one of the finest schools of music in Arkansas so musical talent ran rampant. Those students specializing in this field were sometimes set apart for the mere fact that after they shine in chapel services, concerts, recitals, beauty pageants and Noonday, they ducked into Mabee Fine Arts Center where they hibernated until the next performance. All this hibernation time was spent in constant practice and training for the benefit of those perfor- mances that OBU was so proud of. So often, because of this, they were con- sidered recluses who could not relate to anything they couldn’t blow in, strum on or sing about. 6 ‘, .. the binoculars and net in her closet were not for botany class.”’ “Music is not a solitary profession,” said Twyla Roach, a senior music ma- jor. “You don’t just work with an in- strument.”’ She explained that as a musician, one had to deal with people in so many tig, ways. This could be seen through sing- ing groups, combos and .accompani- ments. ‘Fine musicians are ones who can get the best talents out of people.”’ Music majors had other interests be- sides sharps and flats. Twyla observed that if you took a look at the music majors here, most of them were very versatile. “Some people think to be good in what you do is to eat, sleep, and breathe it. I don’t believe that. Iam interested in other things.” Then there is the “‘jock.” This was a name tag that hails from colleges across the nation. Supposedly they traveled in packs, not unlike wolves. No, actually this just meant they usu- ally ate together, studied together, practiced together and _ generally goofed around together. Yet, although the stigma of ‘“‘dumb jock”’ had pretty well dissipated, there was still an image (Cont. page 31) WHEN THE ALLIGATORS EMERGED from the swamp, it could even be found on key chains. THE “PREACHER BOY” LABEL — Mr. Pure Ameri- cans who couldn’t walk two steps without their Bibles.

They were vasy to spot for the mere reason that veing ‘“‘set apart’? was a more literal ‘abel since they generally spend time alone. |. What was it that this kind of person acked? Automatically people re- -ponded, “He doesn’t have a group.” ince this was the popular concensus, d0k at it this way. There were approx- imately 45 clubs and organizations on ‘ne campus catering to a wide area of interests. Often when a person had es- ablished his or her general goal or di- ection in life it was easier to find a roup that he could identify with. One label that currently seemed to stand out more than ever was that ex- clusive group found all across the United States. You guessed it. From the murky depths of warm swamps, the alligator had crawled upward to exalt himself by gracing clothes of the “preppies.”’ This creature could be found on shirts, sweaters, shorts, socks, and even shoelaces. The people who wore them were often considered the “‘rich kids” who could afford to pay $15 extra for a izod shirt as opposed to a regular sport shirt. But these preppy people had other qualifications. You could distinguish them from others as you saw them wearing topsiders, (look Mom, no socks), button down oxford shirts, and loafers. Khaki pants and monogrammed sweaters were a must. Pink and green coordinate great on a preppy person. The preps weren’t a conspiring closed group that met periodically to- gether in one building, or in a stadium. They spread out permeating among the other students, causing an out- break of new fads. Last but not least we have the ministerial students. Many times they are referred to as what Mr. Cruse of the gospel singing Cruse Fam- ily called them, ‘‘preacher boys.” Naturally at a Baptist University there were several attending. How did we see preacher boys? After consulting various sources | found these guys were the ones that people felt they needed to look over their shoulder for the way to a ‘‘func- tion” less they be deluged with scrip- ture. In a manner of speaking one familiar attitude toward these men was that they were straight, rigid, Mr. Pure Americas who wouldn’t walk two steps without their Bible. Brent Fields, a freshman religion major granted that there were some ministerial students who were hermits staying in their room reading the Bible and watching Billy Graham crusades on TV. He added that it should not be assumed they were all like that. “‘But people should expect ministerial stu- dents to be different because we’ve answered a call and we should set our- selves apart,” says he. ‘They should be able to see some of this developing in our life.” Regarding the negative view that comes to mind on occasion was the preacher boys instinct to rebuke others, Brent responded, “‘It is real sad when our ministry can’t be as effective as it could be because we’re labeled. But a lot of things we do are things every Christian on campus should be doing.” Ken Shaddox, a junior ministerial student added. ‘““You can’t just preach at a person or knock it over their head, but show concern. Through this is how you preach.” When a person had a significant identity he was often put in one labeled box in the minds of others. Only those who dug deeper came up with the true “You can’t just preach ata person or knock it over their head, but show concern.”’ IN THE REGISTRATION LINE, in class, in the cafeteria, the well-known “MRS Degree seeker,” wasn’t hard to find.

All those friends who were normally so- cializing in the dorm or hanging around the SUB were not to be found. In fact, it seemed as though they hadn’t been around in quite awhile. For those involved in social clubs or organizations on campus, spare time was not to be found, for every evening was dominated by hours of practice. The outcome — two performances of “Tiger Tunes,” an all-campus sing held Friday and Saturday, October 16th and 17th. “It was probably one of the most unifying things the groups participate in,” said Stacee Melton, director for the B.S.U. participants. Sponsored by the Ouachita Student Foundation, seven groups presented choreographed routines in competi- tion for cash prizes.

But before the curtains went up at 7 p.m. on April 4 in Mitchell Auditorium the girls underwent a few months of an altered lifestyle. Barbara Taylor, the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity representative said, ‘The whole (dorm) floor is on a diet.” Birthday parties changed from sugary sweets and chips to more low-calorie varieties. And the soft drink machines in the dorm seemingly ran out of diet drinks everyday. To lose weight or firm up, the girls swam laps in the pool, ran up and down bleachers at the football field and one girl tap danced in one of the dorm halls. Besides dieting and exercising, the contestants also had to find the right clothes and keep updated on current events for the interview. Then there was a talent routine to prepare — ev- erything from vocal, piano, violin and saxophone solos to ballet, tap and gymnastic routines. At the same time the girls were decid- ing on just the right make-up combina- tion and practicing another turn, a host of other people worked diligently to make this pageant one of the best Miss America preliminaries in the state. “The Music is You” began forming many months in advance under the close supervision of Mr. Mac Sisson. He selected music and art people (La Juana Terrell and Linda Anderson) to help him develop his idea, he worked on the script, gave mock interviews to the contestants and organized the con- stant outflow of news bureau informa- tion all at the same time. The men of the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity sponsored the pag- eant and also served as Mac’s produc- tion staff — setting up ramp lights operating the curtain and moving props. A combination of tuxedos to sweat- shirts and blue jeans and a variety of music meant many hours of practice for the court of honor composed of Julie Hendrix, Vicki Martin, Diwana Rowell, Gwyn Monk, Foster Sommer- lad and Rick Briscoe. After many evenings of practicing until perfection, finally everything was complete. The lights dimmed, the music started and pageant began. As the combo played, ne contestants - the curtains went up in Mitchel took their turns just as they had ord ticed so many times. Mr. Bob Wheels and Mrs. Sharan Bale emceed th evening gown, talent and sport swir suit competitions.

Before the capacity crowd, Marcie and Cyndi Garrett, Miss Diamond Lakes, were named as Top 10 Finalists. Renee Brown, a freshman, was selected as Miss Congeniality.

Clubs met to dis- cuss float ideas, class reunions, the bonfire, and Alumni Teas had to be scheduled and organized, mainte- nance worked to make the campus look its best, and the Tiger football team practiced hard to face our across-the-ravine rivals, the Hender- son Reddies. The weekend unofficially began in the cafeteria on Wednesday night when a “‘different kind” of a pep rally was held —a “‘Punk Rally.” The cheer- leaders, attired in “punk rock” ap- parel, proceded to lead the students in cheers and chants designed to raise _ spirit and get the student body in- volved in wishing the Tiger team well. Thursday marked the beginning of the official Homecoming activities as the Student Senate sponsored a “dress-up day” in which students dressed to fit the theme of Homecom- ing 1981 — “The Best of the West.” On Thursday evening the cheerleaders led the students in the traditional pe rally, and bright torches lit up the eve ning sky as OBU students made thei way to the annual bonfire that was bui at the North end of the campus. Working within “The Best of th West” theme, the women’s socie clubs, their beaus, and the freshma class worked hard to make their floa the best ever.

When it was all over and done with, the Chi Delta women’s social club was presented with the “‘“Golden Hammer Award” in the Student Senate’s an- nual Homecoming float competition. This was the third consecutive year that the Chi Delta have claimed first place, and it was their float entitled ‘““Ambush the Reddies” that won this honor for them. Second place went to the EEE women’s social club, and this year the EEEs took a different approach to building their float. Using no chicken-wire, paper balls, or pomps, they constructed what was billed as a “live float.” Known as the “Triple E Saloon,” it consisted of a saloon scene with live characters depicting a shoot- out between the Tiger and the Reddie. Realizing the purpose of a float is to promote school spirit, the EEEs opted to present an unconventional, less ex- pensive float and put the money to better use by donating it to a worthy cause. Although they did receive sec- ond place, a cash award did not ac- company this honor. Their intention was merely to present a different idea to float building, to spend less money, and to enjoy the Homecoming fes- - tivities more. Pre-game activities began at 2:00 at A. U. Williams field as 20 contestants lined the field and nervously awaited the announcement of the Homecom- All for pride ing Queen and her Court. Selected as Queen by popular vote among the student body was Cyndi Garrett, a senior from Hope, sponsored by the Rho Sigma men’s social club. Mem- bers of her court were first-runner up, Rita Sutterfield, a senior from Siloam Springs, sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi, education honor fraternity; second- runner up, Paula Bell, a junior from North Little Rock, sponsored by the Junior Class; third-runner up, Melinda Ingram, a junior from Texarkana, Texas, sponsored by the Student Sen- ate; and fourth runner-up, Donna McKenzie, a senior from Pine Bluff, sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity. The game was where the excitement of the weekend reached its peak as the Reddies succumbed to the Ouachita squad by a score of 17-13. Afterwards, the Tigers were presented with the “Battle of the Ravine” trophy. To top off the grand weekend, a concert was given by “‘The Cruse Family,” a gospel music group. Per- forming before a full house, the Cruise Family sang such gospel favorites as “He Will Take Care of You,” “Power,” and ‘“‘The Master’s Love.” Although Homecoming 1981 will be remembered as holding many “‘origi- nal’ features, it will also go down as being one of the most memo- rable weekends in Ouachita’s history. As in everything at Ouachita, it was a Homecoming done in our own, special style. [] — s Abt LUT renee Wittideaaay, hu OS ea a a ¢ , ean ® 4 Se Res fiegeil! beaegett'! Ceageeeet' seaee? eeaee!

Homecoming 41 The Designers Edge2 It became the norm, but individualism was still asserted by Myla Silliman hat was the age-old question that became more perplexing as the week wore on and clothes baskets filled up? ‘What am I going to wear today?” What was it that was affected by the weather; that could set a mood or pro- claim a mood? Clothes (naturally). Just as natures and characteristics | differed, so did people’s concepts of | clothes. For a fashion-minded con- sumer, clothes could be a very impor- tant part of his everyday life. But the | situation was different for comfort lov- ers. The fall brought very few drastic changes in wardrobes. Many of the classics, such as pink, blue and yellow button-down oxfords, crew-neck sweaters, khaki. and pleated pants, tweed suits, wool skirts and topsiders were back. And along with the izods were polo ponies and hush puppies. Penny loafers became more abun- dant and a more layered look evolved. Initials appeared on more button- down collars and sweaters. The preppy look was given a boost by the color combination of pink and green while unpreppy headbands were seen more than before. New for the women were knickers, three-quarter pants, split skirts and gold-dipped leaves. Socks and stock- ings received more interest by being worn under skirts and knickers. And, as always, there were the jeans, but not just any jeans. Along with the Levi’s and Wranglers, shirts were tucked in to see the names of designers — Calvin Klein, Jordache and Chic on the back pocket. And not just any shoes either. A look down the line in the cafeteria proved Nike tennis shoes to be the most popu- lar. And if it wasn’t tennis shoes, it was probably western boots or topsiders. But, then, there were the days that it really didn’t matter. That's when T-shirts, sweats or just any ‘‘grubbies”’ would do. So, despite the wild-eyed panic that occasionally set in when we looked into our closet and wondered hysteri- cally, “What am I going to wear?” we inevitably found something that was — VELVET AND TWEED BLAZERS are classics worn on uniquely us.

A fifty-cent movie, popcorn, Coke and a night in Mitchell Auditorium was a way for many students to settle back and enjoy being with friends. The first movie of the year, ‘‘What’s Up, Doc?” was followed by twenty- eight other movies. Among these were “Flash Gordon,” “It Came From Outer Space,” and ‘“‘The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” Some all time favorites included “Seems Like Old Times,” with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn, “The Com- petition,’ and of course ““The Jazz Singer’’ with Neil Diamond. There were also classics such as CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN SING- ER Chris Christian autographed an album after his performance. More than a fiffy-cent movie “Gone With the Wind,’ ‘Ok- lahoma!”, “My Fair Lady,’ ‘The Elephant Man,” and ‘‘The Sound of Music.” The movies were chosen by SELF. The main criteria in selecting movies according to SELF member Myra Conaway was “‘on the popularity of the movie and also the ratings. An ex- pense budget is also a factor in select- ing the movies.” Movies are not all of the entertain- ment. Gil Eagles was the first of the single performers and groups to entertain the students during the year.

An original play, “Night of the Owl,” written and directed by Dennis Holt was taken to the American College Theatre Festival at Fort Smith, Arkan- sas. The four-scene play dealt with the More than a fiffty-cent movie experience of a young poet when his idol and friend John Gould Fletcher died. This play was based on a true experience of Dennis Holt. The first Christian musical at Verser Theatre was ‘‘Joy Comes in the Morn- ing.” This play was written by David Danner and directed by Bill Ballard. With a packed house every night, this play about the week of the crucifixion, not only was moving for the audience, but for the actors and actresses as well. For Diane Hoag, “Joy Comes in the Morning” was her favorite play to be in because “‘there were so many more people involved, people from other areas and fields of Ouachita, rather than just drama students.” There was more to the theatre than just acting. It took electricians, carpen- ters, craftsmen, painters, directors and talented actors to pull off the successful plays at Ouachita. (_] THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MU- SICAL, “Joy Comes in the Morning,” was as rewarding for the actors as it was for the audience. = o) st = e 5} = = SI t = ro eo) 50 Student Life ARKADRIZZLE brought the umbrellas out in profusion.

The strange weather didn’t end with February. March had its own curious mixture of rain, sleet, snow and sun- shine. Spring brought about a re- surgence of outdoor activities — fris- bee, intramural softball, sunbathing, studying beneath the trees, warming the Conger bench.

That something, which was for some only a remote incident of the past, was a very real present day ex- perience for most of those who carried out the daily routine on campus. “Many people who aren’t familiar with us see Ouachita as a preacher school,’ commented President Daniel Grant, “‘but those who know more about us realize that what we do is much more than that.” It was true, the opportunities for education encom- passed far more than that. Not everyone on campus was there to pre- pare for a church-related vocation. After all, there were more Business ma- jors around than anything else.

What growing personality cation. Although the possibility may have existed, it was virtually inconciev- able. Weekly chapel (somewhat of a mis- leading term), required of all students for seven semesters, was based on a mixture of secular and _ religious themes. Some students resented being forced to attend chapel and didn’t mind expressing their feelings about it. “Tm an adult, and I think I should be the one to decide whether or not I want to go,’ commented Barry Raper, a sophomore from Bryant. “T think it’s necessary to get all of the students together at least once a week, to let them know what’s going on,” Scott Beene said, defending the ad- ministration’s policy on chapel. “Spiritually speaking, on occasion | find chapel an extremely rewarding experience,”’ Bobby Faulkner, an ele- mentary education major from Mena said. Good or bad, it was a part of weekly routine of every student, and served its function in the overall personality of the institution. (Cont. page 55) Religious Life 53 Se teh ’ : Ld 5. pay ; a fe tlie! 3g i all | Changless progress (Cont. from page 52) Several groups and organizations played a part in creating that personal- I ity, and allowed students to express themselves in almost any and every _ way they desired. The Baptist Student | Union, the largest functioning religious organization on campus, offered op- | portunities to share in serving in over | 39 different areas. These areas en- compassed everything from Meals- | on-Wheels to drama performed by the Ouachita Players. A multitude of singing groups, most ona Christian format, offered stu- dents the opportunity to share their faith and further their musical abilities through participation in performances statewide. “T think we probably have more Christian singing groups per acre than | any other college in the country,” re- marked Dr. Grant, ‘‘and I think stu- dents who participate leave Ouachita | witha higher level of skill and quality in performing whatever style of Christian music. That’s what it’s all about.” “They add a tremendrous dimen- sion to the Christian witness,”’ he ad- ded. Noonday, a short service of singing, prayer, and devotion held daily in Berry Chapel at 12 noon, gave stu- dents a unique opportunity. “It’s a good break in the day to get with other students and worship the Lord. You know they’re only there because they want to be, and I like the fact that stu- dents are in charge of the music and EVER PRESENT, Berry Chapel, with its looming steeple and chimes, cast a defi- | nite air about the campus. programs,’’ commented Angie Gill. Junior Nickol Northern said she thought Noonday was ‘‘mutually in- spiring’ for students who attended. Not everyone on campus was Bap- tist, and not all who were Baptist were Convention affiliated. A group of about 40 students from both Hender- son and Ouachita were members of Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship, a group which met weekly at a nearby American Baptist Association affiliate; and opened a Fellowship Center in downtown Arkadelphia in the spring. As well as Baptists, there were those who came from a wide variety of other denominational backgrounds. For them, the nearby facilities of Methodist, Presbyterian, Church of Christ, and Pentecostal churches gave them a choice. “Tve talked to our non-Baptist stu- dents,”’ Dr. Grant said, ‘“and most of them tell me that they feel no pressure to conform to the Baptist way of think- ing. I really don’t think there is any pressure placed upon them.” “T really had a fright about coming to a Baptist university, but no one’s persecuted me yet,” remarked fresh- man Tammy Jackson. “I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to put up with all the ‘Bible-totin’ Baptists when I first transferred here,’ another student added, ‘“‘but now I'm one of them.” Freshman Cathy Bumgardner said she didn’t have any problem fitting in, “I don’t feel any pressure to con- form.” NOONDAY provided a break in the day for singing, prayer, and devotion for Phil Brown, Rex Pilcher, and Janet Floyd.

After more than half a semester of school, mid-term tests, and countless meals at the cafeteria, Thanksgiving dinner at home was a welcomed relief. Shortly after the Thanksgiving break, the chimes began to play Christmas music, trees were trimmed in the dorm lobbies, and decorations went up all over campus. SELF spon- sored a window-decorating party in the Student Union building. Complete with Christmas music and a spirit of camaraderie, social clubs and other or- ganizations painted Christmas slogans on window sections. Winners were an- nounced the next day. Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota held the annual candlelight service in Berry Chapel and followed it with a party. The Chamber Singers and Handbell Ringers put on a program of Christmas music, and the University choir presented ‘‘Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.”’ Christmas was a time of carolling, exchanging gifts, Christmas banquets and parties which lasted all through finals. Valentine’s Day was the next major holiday celebrated at school. It was a day for sweethearts to exchange gifts, give flowers and candy, wear identical clothing and let everyone know they were a couple. The junior class sold carnations that were distributed on Valentine’s Day. [_] A CROWD GATHERS to wit- ness the painting of windows in the SUB, a Christmas tradi- tion. Holidays 59 Keeping up The isolated atmosphere of campus living gives way to the important events affecting students’ lives. by Mark Shipp nless you were enrolled in a U Contemporary World class, life on campus wasn’t very conducive to keeping up with world news. In fact, students often felt iso- lated from the rest of the world. Television watching for most stu- dents didn’t occupy nearly as much time in the daily routine as it did back home. Time which would otherwise have been spent viewing the tube was occupied by spending time with friends, listening to music, or, heaven forbid, studying. Still, amongst the often haphazard hustle-bustle of campus living, there were events which affected students’ lives in one way or another. These events were, without a doubt, too numerous to cover circumspectly. However, some stood out in media coverage and in the minds of students. Poland The Iranian crisis was over and we hadn’t heard much about the Soviet troops in Afghanistan, but reporters always seemed to be able to come up with some earth-shattering news of oppression in foreign lands. This time it was Poland. News that something big was brewing in Poland had been com- ing for quite some months, even years. Most Americans were shocked, how- ever, when things got so bad that mar- tial law was declared and civil rights were denied. “Solidarity,” the Polish labor federa- tion and its leader, Lech Walensa, had come to make an impact on Soviet socialism that was not soon to be for- gotten. Backed by support from the Roman Catholic Church (open or not), the freedom-loving Poles had consistently demanded more and more in the way of contract concessions from their gov- ernment employers. Food supplies had been growing shorter and the masses became increasingly restless. The independent labor union, fed up with adverse conditions, went on strike. “‘Iloved it,” said freshman Steve Bowman. ‘‘those Russians couldn’ t tell just anybody what to do.” When government orders to return to work were ignored, martial law was declared. Many were arrested, even killed in clashes with government troops. News reports during martial law were sketchy, for phone service within 60 Student Life Polish borders was suspended and foreign journalists’ reports were cen- sored. President Ronald Reagan declared American support for the Polish work- ers in a nationwide speech broadcast and placed embargos on some items exported to Poland. He also requested that Americans show their individual support by lighting candles in the win- dows of their homes. Americans all over the country responded by doing just that, and even some students par- ticipated. College Republicans showed their support by circulating petitions, obtain- ing student signatures on campus and all over the country, endorsing and supporting the Poles. Things seemed to cool in Poland and labor leaders were “‘freed.” Cen- sorship was suspended and phone ser- vice restored; however, unrest did con- tinue. College Republican Howard Can- non said, “‘I think we’ll see the crisis continue for at least another year. Walensa won’t be released from house arrest, at least until martial law is lifted.” -Atlanta murders The verdict came in late February. The Atlanta jury composed primarily of blacks convicted Wayne Williams on two counts of first degree murder in a string of bizarre murders of young black males in the Atlanta area. “‘It was just another mass murder, another lunatic going wild,” said Carl Turner. Federal authorities had been called in on the case months before, but prog- ress in solving the murders was slow. Evidence seemed scarce and police continually searched for leads. The case received national attention and a call for justice came from every town. “I hoped he wasn’t white, that would’ve caused a lot of racial prob- lem,” added Carl, ‘‘Personally, I think Wayne Williams was a scapegoat who got the shaft.” Royal wedding “I stayed up all night to see it,” commented freshman Stephanie Spell, ‘I saw the first few minutes, fell asleep, and woke up about the time it was over.” It was labeled the social event of the century, and the world looked on as Prince Charles of England took his Welsh bride, Diana. It was no different among students, especially the wom- en. When interviewed, David Chappell asked, ‘‘What royal wedding?” “T got up about 5 a.m. to watch the wedding, then went back to bed. Later, I watched the reruns and the honey- moon departure,” said Lyndra Wake- land. ‘| watched it several times,” said Ar- lene Scott, “‘it was absolutely spectacu- lar.” “My mum’s English, so it was extra special for us,” she added. The females weren't the only ones interested in the event. Jay Curlin said, “T really envied.it and I wish I was part of a nation with such an old institution. It makes for strong national unity .. . priceless.” « Not all students agreed that the event was so spectacular. “It was a beautiful event, but they spent too much money on a trivial thing,” said Dale Yeary. “T thought it was overpublicized and didn’t care to watch it,” commented freshman Janice Shaddox. Assassinations attempts Three times students could be seen gathered around every lobby televi- sion, listening for news concerning as- sassination plots against President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and a successful one against Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Concerning the attempt on the Pope, Lindley Douphitt said, ‘“‘No one bothered to let me know about it, my reaction was delayed three weeks. But it really didn’t surprise me.’ Concern- ing the attempt on President Reagan, she added, “It didn’t surprise me either.” “I thought Sadat was the good guy. I was really sorry to hear about his assas- sination. I think he could have ac- complished a lot.” Air Controllers’ strike Getting a flight out of many cities, except the major ones, was a difficult task. News reporters and union leaders warned of possible dangers resulting from a lack of qualified personnel and overworking of those who were still on the job.

Saseball strike by Tim Wooldridge _ Although Arkansas fans were not af- fected directly by the baseball strike that took place after the season began, indirectly it affected everybody. Baseball lovers and fans were stunned to hear that their heroes on the field walked out on their teams in a fight for a fair sha re of the media market. Fans were split on both sides of the issue. Some were for the managers, others were for the players. Many felt that the players deserved a fair share but didn’t want them to stop playing. “I think the players deserved a share of the market,” said Steve Bowman. “The owners and club organizations make enough money to give their players a cut.”’ “I think they were making enough as it was,”’ said Ken Shaddox. “‘I think the strike put a damper on fan enthusi- asm.” The issue was finally settled and the players started a second season. Most Americans, and Arkansans lived over the split season. But statisticians will forever cry over the confusion in 1981. One journalist described the year for the record books as “‘the year of the asterisk.”’ Budget cuts Weekly articles in the Signal ap- peared, warning of the impending doom about to befall the financial- aid-dependent student. The proposed budget for 1983, drafted by President Ronald Reagan, called for drastic re- ductions in the field of education, at least as far as financial aid to middle- class students. Junior Will Porter offered this opin- ion. “It ll hurt, and [’ll probably gripe about it, but somebody’s gotta give to make it work.”’ Carl Turner said he thought that it was ‘‘about time’’ for the cuts to bal- ance the budget. “‘I can’t stand Rea- gan, but I love what he’s doing.”’ On the other side of the coin, some students weren't too happy with what the president had planned. “T don’t think they ought to cut edu- cation. The budget should be bal- anced, but the cuts could come from other places,” one student said.

We all went to movies, watched T.V., read books, listened to music, and attended concerts. We were all affected by mass media even though we were no longer a mass. But although we were individuals in- stead of a mass unit, we often agreed on our favorite types of entertainment. On Monday and Tuesday nights we drove to the UA and watched our weekly dollar-night movie. Our favor- ite according to the 227 students reply- ing to our survey was “Taps.” Al- though labeled our favorite, ““Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “On Golden Pond” were just a few votes behind. Back in our dorms we could catch from Little Rock for our favorite music. The survey concluded that ‘“‘Leader of the Band” by Dan Fogelberg was our most listened to song. Also according to the survey, “Innocent Age,” the album containing that hit single, was our favorite album. If we got tired of listening to the media, we could flick a switch and catch our favorite T.V. show ... “M A S H.” If a student was lucky, he could catch “M A S H” three times a day with the help of the cable network. For a student who wanted to see and hear his favorite singers, he traveled to Little Rock, Pine Bluff, or Shreveport to catch the secular concerts. And, of course, our favorite book was the Bible. But who would ask a Christian to answer a survey any other way? Of other Christian literature, the works of C. S. Lewis were quite popu- lar. On the secular topics, J. R. R. Tol- kien and his ‘‘Lord of the Rings” was very popular.

It was easy to put term papers off to the last minute, studying until the night before the test and waiting to read books Thanksgiving break. And module quizzes and pop tests made it hard to creatively skip classes. But the semester had constant remind- ers that we were here to go to school. ‘‘Remember to file your degree plan in the office of the Dean of Academic Affairs before the last day of the first semester of your junior year,” the course preference survey, the change in degree plans, senior check. And registration — long before a student’s last semester, the order was memorized from car registration to com- puter check to meal ticket renewal. The academic year proved its domi- nance during final week when the grade was suddenly all important and either the Christmas spirit or spring fever made it harder to study. Yet, it gave students one last chance to discover that even Riley Library had a personality of its own.

The Living Design 67 A rewarding relocation by Stephanie Spell any freshmen experienced the pains of change upon arriving here from another city or even another state. But imagine having gone to college in another country — thousands of miles away from home, in a strange city where you could not even speak or understand the language. That's the situation many exchange students found themselves in. The six-year old program with Seinan Gakuim Uni- versity in Fukoka, Japan provided for an exchange of three students. Applicants were screened by members of the Exchange Committee which awarded one full scholarship and two tuition and fee scholarships. The only requirements for applicants, besides a genuine desire, was a 2.5 GPA and the promise to return to OBU the following year. Julie Petty, a senior from Arkadelphia who attended Seinan Gakuin last year, felt her experience was price- less. ‘‘To give an accurate account of it would be im- possible,” she said. Julie took the equivalent of twelve hours per semester, including courses ranging from Psychology of Japanese Behavior to Japanese Tradi- tional Sports. The Japanese university had a separate school for its exchange students since it had programs with six U.S. schools and one French school. The ex- change students took courses dealing with the culture and history of the country, and all were required to take a six hour course in the Japanese language. All of the teachers were Japanese men except two resident mis- sionaries. Several of the instructors could speak little or no English and used interpreters to teach their classes. ‘The hardest thing about the studies was when you didn’t understand your teacher and he couldn’t under- stand you, and the two of you had a disagreement or misunderstanding,” said Suzette Rainey, who attended Seinan last year. In giving a description of the classes, Julie com- mented, ‘“‘The whole classroom situation was more formal. We couldn’t chew gum, eat or drink anything, 68 Academics Magazine and classes were an hour and a half long. Since the class was composed of other American exchange stu- dents and one French woman, the atmosphere was much like an American classroom. However, the teachers were somewhat intimidated by us, and that limited the informal atmosphere.” % In reference to the academic merits of participating in the exchange program, both Suzette and Julie agreed that teaching English to the Japanese was the most rewarding and productive aspect of their studies. ‘““The people had such a hunger to learn English that it was easy to obtain jobs to support yourself by teaching English. The university located interested people and required that they pay a minimum of 2500 yen (about $13) per hour for services. | made really good money, and several of my pupils cooked for me, gave me gifts, and took me places. In fact, working for one company, | made $20 per hour,”’ said Julie. In addition to the Japanese program, OBU is in its second year of a Nigerian exchange program with the Nigerian Baptist Seminary in Obomoshoa and the Nigerian Baptist Convention in Ibaden. Two students were selected in the same manner as the Japan-bound applicants, and they participated in a curriculum of studies and mission work. The two attended half a year at the seminary in Obomosho, taking basic courses with , several theological studies. The second half of the year was spent in mission work such as Sunday School programs through the Convention at Ibaden. Although the exchange program wasn’t for everyone, those who participated in it found their perspectives broadened and their lives enriched. Ac- cording to Julie Petty, ‘“‘Not everyone wants to go, but I think everyone should be placed in that sort of situation where they are the minority with obstacles to over- come. I learned to support myself and to give up the comforts of home. With the possible exception of learning the language better, I wouldn’t change a thing, {7 ] BESIGN magay (ne ee “Although the exchange program, : wasn’t for | everyone, those | who participated in) it found their perspectives broadened and their lives enriched.”’ AN EVENING MEAL with his far is a daily event for Gabriel Ojo Nigerian exchange student who liv’ in a trailer on North Campus.

Inter-campus relations were both pleasant and unpleasant, depending on whether it was the an- nual football rivalry or a lecture or concert sponsored by the Joint Education Consortium, an organization composed of representatives from OBU, HSU, and the ROSS Foundation, which sponsored the J.E.C. Good relations had its advantages for students from both campuses. Students were allowed to enroll in courses on the other side of the ravine, just as though they were being offered on their own campus. ‘‘Getting there’ seldom presented a problem, considering the only real obstacle to cross was a 25 feet expanse of asphalt known as Hwy. 65 North. ‘“‘Most of the time we'd go over there in a group,’ said Junior Lisa Byrd. “We'd meet beforehand and take turns driving back and forth to class,” she said. Classes ‘‘on the other side’ are not the only thing students could take advantage of. OBU’s Student En- tertainment and Lecture Fund (SELF for short) pre- sented movies or contemporary Christian concerts al- most weekly. They were open to all for a more-than- reasonable price. Perhaps the best example of advantageous interac- tion is the cross-referenced card catalogue system employed by both campus libraries. Students could obtain books or microfilm with their university I.D. — without a hassle — no matter which library they were using. As well as being cross-referenced, the library closing hours were swapped-off on weekends, assuring students access to at least one library every day. While most would agree that not all relations were pleasant — especially those during Ouachita vs. Hen- derson week — the benefits each university reaps from the other makes the atmosphere more than tolerable.

They were something that everybody had, but hardly anybody wanted. As we hardly needed to be reminded, there were three basic modules: Classical Lifestyles, Modern Life- styles and Early Renaissance which were further di- vided into history, music, literature, art and philosophy. Senior Karen Bean said, “One of the advantages op another, student: was getting a broad range of knowledge of different al areas beside your major. But the disadvantage wasthat just normally dislike: they cram too much into such a short period of time.”’ Mr. Ralph Rauch, who taught the music modules, said, “Most students thought modules were a waste of their something that time because it’s not in their generalized field and won't pay dollars and cents.” : everybody had, but | Students, such as Ruth Beaudry, a senior education hardly anybody major, felt the need to improve the modules “‘to offer ss more and to be geared to things students are interested wanted. in such as marriage, family and things for future per- sonal life.”’ As for the goals of the courses, some teachers defi- nitely felt that it was a very important part of learning. Mr. Wesley Lites, philosophy instructor, said, ““The modules provide a balance in diversity for a liberal arts education, primarily in the humanities — but one has to ask, ‘What does it mean to be fully human’?” [_ ] JAY NICHOLSON AND LISA MABRY work diligently on a lesson for a module course held in McClellan Hall.

Modules 73 apoE AI The division receives a new chairman, more students and goals for the future. Everybody's business by Stephanie Spell he 1980's has brought a general trend toward interest and favor in business. Almost everyone takes business now.” These words of Dr. Paul T. Hendershot, Chairman of Division of Business and Economics, certainly proved true as business classes grew and Lile Hall’s traffic increased. The division’s three departments of Accounting, Business Administration and Economics, and Office Administration offered various classes providing a mix- ture of business fundamentals, office skills, and profes- sional training. Some students chose to sprinkle their business knowledge into their liberal arts education, while others chose the department as their major, find- ing Lile their home away from home. Dr. Hendershot replaced Dr. Robert Adkins as divi- sion chairman and head of the business department. Mrs. Margaret Wright headed the Accounting depart- ment, and Office Administration department was headed by Mr. Jonathan Kelley. The division also gained two new instructors, Mr. Jim Rothwell and Dr. Cline Stephens. What’s in the future of the division? “We hope to see continued growth and expansion. I would especially like to see OBU’s division become a member of the American Assembly of Collegiate School of Business (AACSB), and eventually accredited by AACSB. Our common body of knowledge is the same, we have a good division, and | feel we’re moving in the right direction.” [[_] TAKING BUSINESS COURSES AS ELECTIVES proves to be productive and relevant to non-business majors.

Freshman Jamie Smith concen- trates on her keyboard skills in one of the department’s typing classes. Business 75 With changing trends and constant p ressure the education department prepares students from the classroom to the community From the inside out by Dena White eeping up with trends in competency was a concern for the division of education. ‘‘The trend in teaching in the past few years is toward competency-based instruction. All our teachers are having to take the National Teachers Exam. The com- munity is asking that teachers take competency tests and that their students then be tested,’ Dr. Dewey Chapel, division chairman, explained. The pressure was on for senior education majors in the professional semester when they attended classes all day for six or seven weeks , took their finals, then student-taught in area schools for nine weeks. “We have discussed, without coming to any conclusion, the possibility of a longer student-teaching period, perhaps 12 weeks. It would cause some rather severe adjust- ments right now, but it’s a very real possibility,” Dr. Chambliss, education department chairman, com- mented. He added that he thought it would enhance job possibilities, especially for those in early childhood and special education. The department also proposed to amend the catalog to add requirements for certification in special educa- tion for the mildly handicapped. The department hoped to meet state requirements for certification in special education which would become mandatory in September 1984 by adding a full time reading and special education teacher upon the retirement of Dr. Wimms. The home economics department offered BA, BS and BSE degrees. “‘Our majors are well qualified to do other things than teach,’ Mrs. Joyce Morehead, de- partment chairman, said. ‘““We’re stronger than we were a few years ago. We’re a small department, but highly specialized. Our students are finding employ- ment.” That employment ranged from home economist to communications specialist to teaching home economics in a school for the deaf. Classroom teaching alone did not prepare students for careers. Child development classes spent two hours per week at the First Baptist Church Center. Housing and interior decorating classes rearranged the furniture in the home economics building, adding their own accessories. Dietetics majors gained practical experi- ence working at the Clark County Hospital and the Children’s Colony. (—] 76 Academics DECORATIVE CRAFTS allows home economics major Peggy Brown to develop embroidering skill. Redefining roles A s the roles of men and women in society and in the home evolved it became increasingly be- neficial for men to know something of areas that previously had been considered ‘“‘women’s work.”’ Because of the high demand, Home Economics for Men closed out each semester with 16 men, most of whom were seniors’. Team-taught in modules by Joyce Morehead, department chairman, Jean Thayer, a regis- tered dietician and Ruth Ann Wade, the course offered men com- prehensive training in consumer education, foods and_ nutrition, child development and family rela- tionships, social graces and etiquette and housing and interior decorating. The men _ received _grades in each module. “Everything we learn is so practi- cal — proper etiquette, food man- agement, and insurance. I learneda lot about child development that I would never have known,” Gene Whisenhunt said. Kevin Holcomb added that he thought the course would help him be a better husband and father. The students had lab experience in table setting and meal planning and preparation. ‘‘We really stress social graces and etiquette to pre- pare them for the business world,”’ Mrs. Morehead said. ee | ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJORS Cheryl Bass and Lacey Taylor share a book in Child Growth and Development, a course which studies the child from birth through sixth grade. Education 77 || | | | by Sherri Coston nd you thought there were only spiders in the A tenet of Mitchell. And is there anything other than music in Mabee? | What was the biggest connection between Flenni- an, Terryl Moore and Verser Theater? The only thing | nese locations had in common was the five divisions of jie Humanities department — English, Speech and | rama, Art, Communications and Modern foreign lan- | uage. | The English department sought to teach basic skills, |2ading, writing and speaking properly. ‘‘The English }| epartment is constantly changing from year to year in jie text that is used,” said Dr. Johnny Wink. The nglish department changes text every year to keep up ith all the new and changing rules in our ever chang- ig language. The Art department had several shows, visiting art- ts, lectures, and trips to museums (one of which was to Jallas). The bankers bought a print for the department It the art auction and conducted a faculty show where Nach member of the faculty showed a piece of their york. Students took classes in ceramics, pottery, Wy ained glass, design, drawing, painting, sculpting and l)rass and silver jewelry making. These classes were | eld on the first floor of Mabee Fine Arts. ‘““There were fnore art majors this year than ever before,”’ said Mrs. })etty Berry, chairman of the Art department. With the 4 nassive increase there is talk of adding on to the build- Hig. ) “The number of students taking a foreign language yourse this year had doubled from only the year be- ore,’ said Dr. David Anderson. The Speech Pathology department, located in the ‘ Jorth end of Flenniken Memorial, took a week-long trip 1 November to Los Angeles for the American )� peech-Language-Hearing Association Convention. Wlasses are shared with Henderson State University students. Speech Pathology students actually practice }neir profession before they graduate. By the end of ) }neir sophomore year students had begun observation, jnd actual therapy by their senior year. Junior Kim } Juke, a Speech Pathology major says, ‘‘this major ijakes up a lot of time and you have to do a lot of tudying on your own.” §) Another part of the Speech department includes the he humanities department division may be peparated by space, but share the same goal Distant Awareness debate and forensic teams. “The purpose of the debate is to teach college stu- dents the skills involved in research, logical arguing, and the ability to express themselves clearly and force- fully in advocate, or life situations,’ said Roy Buckelew, chairman of the Speech and Drama Department, at Ouachita and sponsor of the Forensic and Debate teams. Buckelew said there were about 20 people involved in the Forensics team at Ouachita and one half of those were on the Debate team with the remaining members participating in individual events like speaking and oral interpretation. From Fundamentals of Speech to Introduction to Mass Communications, the life of a ‘““comm’’ major is one of varied concentrations of writing and speech courses. Struggling to meet the requirements for a degree, the Communications major never stays in one place for a long period of time. The Communications Department is not confined to one building on campus. At one time or another, a Communications major finds himself on second floor of Flenniken in the Ouachitonian yearbook office or the campus news- paper SIGNAL. The department emphasis on speaking takes the “comm” major to several buildings including Verser, first floor of Flenniken, and other places where one goes to learn to speak. Dr. William Downs, Professor of Journalism is the chairman in the Communications Department. Advisor for the Ouachitonian and the SIGNAL, Downs was chosen National Yearbook Advisor for four year col- leges nationwide. In the History department, on the first floor of Terryl Moore, a new Archival Administration was added. Students first read and found out what an archive was and how it differed from a library, then learned how to set up a manuscript collection. Dr. Ray Granade said, ‘‘the job market in archives is excellent and that’s why there has been a recent interest in this area.” From the bottom of old basements to the tip top corner across campus, a careful look would have found a Humanities department. They were there, having a common bond. (=e) IT IS A COMMON SIGHT on campus to see art students secluded to themselves, drawing or painting a scene on campus. Freshman Brent Harris sketches a scene for an art class under Ted Barnes. THE CHARACTERS of Chelsea and Bill Ray are por- trayed by Tamera Walker and Drew Shofner who brings up the question of bears in Golden Pond. IN OCTOBER, “On Golden Pond” is performed in Verser Theater. Soph- omores Dora Yoder and Larry Locke portray their characters through ex- pression and costume. NOT ONLY DID Dr. Betty McCom- mas teach the fundamentals of Eng- lish but also gave her assistance in registration. Humanities 79 80 Academics Reaching Goals hen most of us were just crawl- W ing out of bed, Twyla Roach, a senior piano performance major from Hot Springs, was dressed and leaving the dorm to practice for a couple of hours before classes started. Twyla played for recitals, did special music for churches, played for Ouachita Choir and Singers per- formances, and worked on her own senior piano recital, but still man- aged time for her own interests. “Budgeting my time to give myself something to do for me and my peace of mind is important,” said Twyla. A light day for her behind the piano was 5 hours, an average day, 7 hours, and a heavy day, 8-9 hours. “I’m a morning person. It’s the best time for me to practice and! get more done,’ she added. “I wanted to start school when my brother did, but my birthday came a little late, so 1 began to take piano lessons when I was five and have played ever since,” said Twyla. “My freshman year at Quachita was almost a disaster,” she continued. “I thought I had tendonitis in my right hand and could only play for short periods at a time before it started hurting. | would take my homework to the practice rooms and would play for 20 minutes and study for 30-40 minutes. Mrs. Virginia Queen, my piano teacher, helped me out a lot by assigning me left-handed pieces. I went to a hand specialist and he found a small bone broken, so they puta cast only hand. That summer | was on the Contact Team and my hand gained’ strength gradually.”’ “My second semester of my freshman year when everything looked pretty bad for my future playing, I went home and told my Mom the neatest thing would be to play for the Ouachita choir,” she went on. “Now I’ve reached that goal. My recital, Singers, and Choir are top priority on my list, be- cause | respect Dr. Wright so much and I wouldn’t want to disappoint him.” (7) HOURS OF PRACTICE is a distinguishing mark of any music major. Arnie Lawson concentrates on the right combination with his music and violin. DIRECTING proves to be harder than it looks. Janna Lowry practices in choral conducting class. Classes, lessons, practicing and recitals added up to a long day for music majors Making it count by Sherri Coston veryone knew the music department was over in Mabee but notall of us got around to seeing what really went on in all those little rooms and how much time music people dedicated. An average aca- demic day for a music major could include having a voice or piano lesson, going to choir, attending a recital and _orPAC (Performing Arts Class) and spending 1-6 hours practicing to get ready for the end of semester juries. A larger freshman class found its place on the music scene, however the graduating music majors remained consistent in quality. The music department gained a new addition to the keyboard family. The $10,000.00 harpsichord promoted pride and quality in the school of music. It had been saved for and long awaited for some time. The handmade, hand painted scene by Richard Kingston was done in pastels and portrays a scene of oriental birds and flowers. A new class was taught in the playing of the instrument. The strings ensemble gave a concert for the first time and Dr. Biggs was welcomed to the staff in teaching music theory. To relate textbook knowledge to actual pieces of art, 21 members of the music history class visited Dallas before Thanksgiving. Dr. Thomas Bolten organized the trip taking the students to two art museums and the opera, ‘“‘Madame Butterfly.” When asked ‘Why do you like music?”’, voice and music students gave a variety of answers. Sophomore Paul Cheatham said, ‘“‘It’s a lot of hard work but very rewarding and you can tell you’re making progress.” Steve Bullock explained that he feels the music people are the closest groups of people on campus — outside of the social clubs. He grew up in music, both at church and school, and plans to attend graduate school for music. Freshman Terri Vanlandingham said she likes being in music because ‘‘you get to be a part of the closeness.” She devotes approximately 15 hours a week to her major. Some like it because music is music and that was where they knew they belonged. Sandy Reece summed it all up in two words and stated, “‘It’s neat!”’ Just about any time you roamed the halls of Mabee, voices could be heard. It was sure that much dedication and time were spentin the music department just keep- ing up with the high standards.

To emphasize the importance of liberal arts in a science education, Dr. Joe Nix and Dr. Joe Jeffers received an : academi c enrichment grant several years ago to introduce t e a chemistry students to the visual arts. The department started a small collection of art works and added to it over the years. The collection, housed in the chemistry lecture room, was intended to show that the creativity of an artist is much akin to the creativity of a scientist in a research project. While most students were being ‘‘generally educated”’ and broadening their horizons of knowledge, a few pre- professional students found much of their time spent in the labs or in study to help prepare them for later challenges, such as entrance to medical school. “I think we have a very effective enterprise here at Ouachita that provides wonderful experience and oppor- tunity for the pre-professional students.

Our typi- cal good student is good in English, too,’ commented Dr. Wayne Everett, chairman of the division. New additions to the building included a gas chromo- tograph donated by the Dow Chemical Company, and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In addition, the physics department gained a new chairman. Dr. Clyde Smith joined the OBU faculty staff, overseeing the upstairs activities of Moses-Provine. In speaking of the department's future goals, Dr. Smith projected hope for more OBU-HSU course coordination. ‘We are working closely with Henderson to improve both schools’ departments and coordinate the courses offered. We eventually hope to have a schedule so that above the sophomore level, the two schools will not offer the same course. This will, in effect, provide a five-man staff (both OBU’s staff and HSU’s staff combined), for both schools, providing more courses for all students. We have already made much progress in this area, and I am just trying to expound on what has already been done.” The math department, the virtual black sheep of the division, found its place in the scientific society, with many science majors depending heavily on math-related courses to improve their logic and problem solving. The addition of a computer room in Moses-Provine also helped to bridge the gap from Berry Bible Building to the laboratory. Whether the students dissected, mixed compounds and elements, or carefully calculated, the division’s work was not taken lightly. But dispelling the idea of a scientist being all work and no play, Dr. Everett explained, ‘‘The reason they're here so much is because they're having a lot of fun, instead of staying in their room studying like the other students.”’ i] Natural Science 85 : Hands-on experience For students in the social sciences practical experience was a part of the classroom by Dena White ar from the sterile, lecture-filled walls of the class- room... a history major worked at a long, clut- tered table in the special collections room of Riley Library, wiping away dust and removing rusty paper clips before inventorying the papers of lawyer Matthew P.

Students in psychology courses also took classes under Dr. Russ Burbank at the Children’s Colony, giving them first-hand experience in working with re- tarded children. Some even worked as volunteers. The sociology department offered a traveling course on prisons during the interterm. It was designed, ac- cording to Dr. Richard Mills, to show individuals what happens to a person after his initial contact with the law. The 45 students attended a session of the Little Rock Municipal Criminal Court, visited several prisons, a treatment and diagnostic center and correctional units. Enrollment in the U.S. History and Western Civiliza- tion classes peaked in the spring semester. “‘We feel like we will have more majors in a few years,” said Dr. Everett Slavens. The history department, as a rule, gained most of its students not as incoming freshmen oozing with enthusiasm about history, but as converts through the required general education history-related courses. ‘‘Through the Contemporary World and Life- styles modules we can reach more non-history majors. I like to teach history majors, but equally I like to catch the music majors, the chemistry students. It’s a human experience — not just an academic experience — for me,” Dr. Slavens added.

Students used the Skinner box, a glass-walled, metal container with a food dish, food dispenser, light and a bar lever which the rat was to press for the release of food. Rewards, such as food and pun- ishments, such as the electric grid across the bottom of the box, were used in shaping behavior. At the end of the fall semester students hoped to present the first annual Rat Olympics as a result of ‘chaining,’ the teaching of a series of behavior patterns the rat must leam in order to reach the bar. Nine rat student groups had planned ac- tivities for the event. One group hoped to teach its rat to rollerskate on two pairs of minia- ture rollerskates from novelty key- chains. Another hoped to train its rat to climb a ladder, cross a high- wire and raise a flag. Psychology students hoped that by working with the rats, they would better understand and learn to deal with human behaviors.

MINISTERIAL STUDENT Nathan Zim- merman, feels that the Religion depart- | ment has helped him grow spiritually, as well as academically. Religion courses serve spiritually; academically Two-fold meaning by Angie Gill © Ouachita students, the term ‘“‘religion’”’ not only had a spiritual meaning, but an academic one as well. All students were required to take courses on the Old ind New Testaments, which provided students with a ‘working knowledge of the Bible. These may have � een the only religion courses that they ever took, or hey may have chosen to take upper level religion sourses for their own personal benefit and use them to levelop skills for volunteer services in their own church,” Dr. Vester Wolber, Chairman of Religion and ?hilosophy, said. “The Religion department provides training to those | students that plan to go directly into the ministry after eaving Ouachita, and provides pre-seminary training or those who will be attending seminary,” he added. Nathan Zimmerman, a religion major from Del City, Jklahoma, felt that the Religion department not only drepared him for the ministry, but that it served to ninister to his personal spiritual needs as well. ‘‘The more religion courses that I take, the more I develop deeper within myself. The faculty is excellent and with their diverse backgrounds, they each have a different and unique approach, they have provided me with an amazing growth in my life.” Many students were already involved in weekend ministries, such as pastors, youth workers, music minis- ters, prison chaplains, and church interim workers. In addition, there were a few professors who were in- volved in ministries not related to Ouachita. Mr. Ran- dall O’Brien was the pastor of DeGray Baptist Church, and Dr. Cecil Sutley was the interim pastor of South- side Baptist Church of Prescott, Arkansas. Dr. Gene Pettey served as the interim Director of Missions for the Little River Association. The Religion department took part in activities such as the State-Wide Pastors Conference held at Ouachita April 26-28, the Director of Missions Dinner, Nov. 2, where a Missionary of the Year was recognized, and the annual Arkansas Baptist State Convention.

It was | simple and to the point but it was a letter that | meant the difference in a summer and possibly a | lifetime. : The letter was from the Home Mission Board | and the difference was summer missions. t Many students received a chance to travel, |! make a little extra money and serve the Lord)! during the summer of 1981. Summer mis.) : sions provided various opportunities in service) through Resort Ministries, summer camps, Back. |! | yard Bible Clubs, Vacation Bible School, and| various preaching assignments that helped) - others and aided in spiritual growth for the stu- || ' dents themselves. 2 For a 10 week period in the summer months, | students had a chance to see new places, meet|) - people and make new friends. During this time o! | ' service, all expenses were paid plus an additional | | $50 per week salary to the student, according to} Elmer Goble, director of the Baptist Studeni| | Union (BSU). i. Some missions had students travel to such) ‘ countries as Germany, the continental Europe ‘ Zambia and Taiwan. Resort ministries had been) } in such places as the Grand Canyon and many) other national parks, some within Arkansas, fo!| ; participation in such things as campfire pro-||! grams. Preaching opportunities were open fo1| | anything from revivals to beginning new) churches. Community Back Yard Bible Clubs|) ' ——— i � . � BC) and Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) gave @l age groups a chance to come together for fun and fellowship.

She worked with a ; jew church and even attended its first service. ) fhe also had the opportunity to attend an Asso- � Jational Youth Olympics for children in her area fr grades 7 through 12. She lived with the pastor and his family of the fhurch that she worked most closely with and id, ‘‘At first it's hard to adjust. You’re in a new vironment and a long way from home, but jey tell you to make yourself at home there.”’ fn her first mission she had a partner but the cond one she went on alone and said this in gard to her experience, ‘“‘When you have a prtner there for you all the time, you learn to pend on each other; when you're down, _ pmeone’s there. When you’re alone, you learn Palm Springs. It was 90 degrees at 10 a.m. and 112 degrees to 120 degrees in the day. I took a lot of naps because I had to adjust to the heat.” Susan said that a lot of times, since she wasn’t in one place for very long, it was hard to get accepted. But then before long, she would be and everything would be all right. ‘‘I found out one time that a lady was giving up her bed for me when I got up early one morning and found her sleeping on the couch. | still get Christmas cards and letters from some of those people.” There was a lot of moving around but Susan says, “There was always someone there to take care of you. You learn a lot if you keep your eyes open.” Many other students at Ouachita experienced these and other opportunities through the Summer Missions Program. According to Goble, Ouachita had approximately 20 to 25 students participating in the program each year which ranked us about fifth in the nation in appoint- ments and said that almost everyone who applied was accepted. Even though the actual deadline had passed, there were still several applications available and Goble urged anyone who was interested to ap- ply. You must have completed at least one year of school and for foreign missions, usually two years. “‘T’ve said that this possibly is the greatest ex- perience a student can have in their four years of school,” said Goble. He also said that students were put into a new situation and surroundings and they learned to rely on faith.

Nothing went right, you hated the world, and especially the professor whose lecture went on and on and on. Finally, the bells rang. ‘Praise the Lord for those bells,”’ you said. You rushed out to the tune of “‘God’s Wonderful People.” Your steps get a little peppier, and your frown seemed to fade away. There was just something about those bells that everyone seemed to enjoy. Much to the surprise of some, Ouachita had no literal bells that played tunes, or struck on the hour. The strikes heard on the hour, and the chimes at ten before the hour, were actually Westminster chimes played by small brass rods in the chapel. They were amplified over large speakers located in the chapel tower. A comput- er terminal with a set-in clock made sure that the chimes sounded to within a few seconds of the correct time. The tunes often heard on campus — perhaps familiar hymns, Christmas carols, or patriotic tunes — were actual recordings of songs being played on huge bells. (They were also amplified over the speakers in the tower.) Oua- chita bought the tapes from a California com- pany at forty to one hundred dollars each, and has collected twenty tapes. The terminal allowed for one to six tunes to be played in a time span, depending on the number designated by the operator. Dr. Weldon Vogt, professor of psychology, was responsible for keeping the chimes ringing. Dr. Vogt has worked with the bells since 1965. A complaint from a student about them ringing at two a.m. prompted him to look into the system and from that moment on he was in charge. Electrician work was a hobby of Dr. Vogt’s and he enjoyed working with the bells especially, because he thought the music was ‘“‘just beauti- flee IT IS A little more complicated than it seems.

Maybe the perfect date was kicking off your shoes and wiggling your toes in the warm sands of summer beaches at DeGray — swimming, skiing, or biking together.

While Ouachita was a church-related, liberal-arts school with emphasis on Christianity, its students seemed to reflect that in the people they choose to go out with. Time and time again they showed that, truthfully, whoever they dated in the long run or immediate future, must be a Christian. Being a Christian date did not necessarily mean that one must carry around a Bible where- ver they went and constantly quote scripture but more so, to the students talked to, they saw it as Christ having the ultimate control of their lives anda genuine love for Christ that was reflected in their life either by a smile or conversation, not by material displays. Questions were probably raised as to what it was that Christians do on dates, where they went and what they expected of dates. What better way to find out than to ask. “Christians are human, they have interests like anybody,” said one student, “‘they aren't confined to the church or Bible study group, but | feel they witness wherever they go, But now, that’s not to say that everything they do is sinful; like dancing or having wine with dinner. I think everyone knows what's right for him or her and after all, God is only ‘‘allowed’’ to judge your actions. That’s how it’s supposed to be.” ‘There aren't any guidelines in the Bible spe) | cifically about dating, but there are indirectly!’ When you read about the conduct of Christians in the Bible then there are guidelines,” said Susan Pitts, Senior, Commercial Arts major. She continued, ‘“‘Where you go affects yout witness, regardless really of what you do.” Where do you go, that’s acceptable from all Christian standpoint? ‘“‘Something casual can be. fun,’ said Susan, “‘I like to eat. To eat withl someone helps you to be at ease and get to know them. In movies, you can’t talk; concerts are zero. fun.” Mostly informal dating was best for Ken Shad- dox, Junior, pastoral student. He liked SELF, movies or playing Pakman at the sub. ‘ But occa-_ sionally | like to dress up and go out to eat at a) nice place,” he said. “We almost always catch a movie on “‘dollar, night” just to have something to do through the! week, regardless of what it is,”’ said Tim Church, a senior from North Little Rock, “but on the! weekends, Emily and I usually go to Hot Springs or Little Rock, to go eat, hear a good band and maybe go dancing.” IN the perfect date (Cont. page 123) THE HOMECOMING BONFIRE provides for a dif- ferent kind of date for OBU students. - = = a ar = =r a — ee eee Juniors 121 a - aes eee ae ee walk io a ae at THE BSU HAYRIDE is an activity Scotty Kirkpat- CHARLA CHEATHAM AND GARY ARNOLD rick and Donald Knoll, along with Tim Church and enjoy dessert at the Patty Awards, sponsored by Pi Teresa Stout use to get to know each other.

The | show had been rewritten from a children’s show to one more appealing to an adult audience and was called “PG — Parental Guidance | Suggested.” | During the summer, the writer of the show, Rand Hopkins, had wanted some people to come out and help teach parts, direct the show, and play one of the parts. ‘“‘Our producer kept sending my name to him and | got a letter in August asking me to come out there,’ Don ex- | plained. ‘They split the cast up and I taught the songs that I knew to each group. We practiced for 10 hours a day with 30 minutes for lunch and I learned some of the hardest tapping I’ve ever done. I played one of the lead roles, Nik, who was a nurd.”’ “One thing about practice that was so funny was that we used the Fifth St. Theatre which was directly over a Chinese man’s karate studio, and every afternoon he would come up and cuss us out in Chinese for making so much noise with the tapping and singing.”’ The cast began practices even before Don began teaching them. ‘‘They thought an older person was coming, and when they saw how young I was, they asked me all kinds of ques- re tions. Some of them didn’t even know where Arkansas was, but they loved my accent. They even asked me if I wore shoes when I was in Arkansas,” he laughed. “The entire cast was wonderful. I had a mis- conception of what California people were like —I thought they were all crazy, but these people were really warm. Their lifestyle wasn’t as dif- ferent as I thought it would be. The only big difference was the people spoke their native lan- guages and I had never worked with that. Styles and fashions were really up, but everything was laid back. You had to really look for all of the strange people and most of them spent their time on Hollywood Boulevard.” Not only did Don learn from the practices and the cast, but he had achance to meet the “‘right”’ people. ‘‘Little things came up that I never imag- ined would happen — like Thanksgiving dinner with the producer of ‘The Waltons.’ I got to be good friends with the girls who play Mary Ellen and Erin. I stayed with Tony O’Dell for a while who used to play on ‘Dynasty.’ He took me around and helped me meet the Walton girls.” “One morning at about 2 a.m., I was in one of those old restaurants where they made greasy hamburgers and in walked Timothy Hutton. We talked about his movie ‘Taps’ and about my show. It was great ... I mean, an Academy Award winner ate greasy hamburgers with me!” “My underlying fear during the whole trip was of being in an earthquake. The pictures on the wall would be crooked when I woke up, so | knew | had slept through a tremor. One morning, some of the cast turned on the soundtrack to the movie ‘‘Earthquake”’ and got under my bed and shook it — I was ready to pack my bags.” Don planned to go back to California upon graduation. He said the prospects were good for people who could act. “The talent here at Ouachita is as good if not better than some of what they had out there, the only difference is “WHEN I WAS LITTLE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN ACTOR,” said Don Brown as he is inter- viewed by Vicki Taylor. that we are here and they are there — all you need is an agent. It’s really sad because their whole lives are centered around that. Some of them are up there just to please their parents.” “But when | was little I always wanted to be an actor. In high school, I realized it was a really hard profession to get into, so! came to college to give me something to fall back on.” “One of the guys I met was a double for the father on ‘The Waltons’ and we got to be good friends. He invited me to see the set and I went up there and got lost. The studio was filming ‘Maverick,’ and I knew that if I got caught, they would kick me off the set, so I hid in the ‘Private Benjamin’ jungles and got lost. I kept walking, stumbled on to the ‘Fantasy Island’ set, stole some tree branches for souvenirs, took some straw from the ‘Gilligan’s Island’ set, and finally made my way back to the Waltons’ house.” “Some of the cast and I toured Universal Studios one day. The tour guides always ask for volunteers to go through the same things a stunt man goes through and of course, | volunteered. They dressed me up like Captain Universal and put me 50 feet up in the air with the wind blow- ing. Once they had shot me up in the air, they spliced me to a ‘King Kong’ piece. They ran the film back and it looked like I was flying through the air.” Sightseeing wasn’t all that Don did. The cast performed two shows every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Beverly Hills Theatre with no pay. ‘Each performance was a showcase for big people to come and see new talent and for kids to get experience; that’s what it was in my case. The pay wasn't important because the exposure was so good.” Don’s dreams had come true to a certain ex- tent. He hoped to go into advertising and public relations someday, but he wanted to try his hand at acting first. ‘I love making people happy.

An inscription found on the switchboard desk read: “‘In today’s modern world, the technician knows everything about something, the executive knows some- thing about everything, and the switchboard operator knows everything.” At first one might have thought the statement was accusing the operator of eavesdropping (which couldn’t be done without the caller’s knowledge). But a few minutes at the switch- board would have enlightened one as to the true meaning of the quip. People expected the operator to know every- thing, every place and everybody. “‘I don’t really mind that people expect me to know every- thing,” said Mrs. Peebles. ‘‘That’s my job — to know who to call about what.”’ When asked about the attitude of callers she added, ‘‘Generally people appreciate my help. I’ve even had people call me back long distance just to thank me for helping them find someone. And that’s when you feel good, knowing you’ve been help to people.” The number of friendly callers was far greater than the unfriendly ones. “We only get a bad one occasionally,” said student operator Deb Williams. “I’ve only had three obscene calls in several years of working here.”’ When asked what her most interesting experi- ence as operator was, Deb said, “‘One time a visitor from out-of-town puta call through. Then he called back, said I had a nice voice, and invited me to dinner. He was a nice guy, I en- joyed it.” [7] eee Linda Adams Searcy Gary Arnold Arkadelphia Ric Atkinson North Little Rock Stacy Bailey Cabot Mike Baldwin Little Rock Lezli Ball Lake Dallas, TX Deb Banzhof Schenectady, NY Bert Barnes Benton Debbie Barnett Crossett Vicky Barton Fordyce Rona Belongy Thayer, MO Camille Bennett Fayetteville Leslie Berg Nashville, TN David Bibbs Little Rock Robin Birdwell Knoxville Joyce Bollen Friendship Michele Bone Dallas, TX Tracy Brackett North Little Rock Joyce Bradley Marianna Lynn Bradley El Dorado Ron Bramos Ft.

Ben F. Worley, a professional sculptor who gave up his career to enter the gospel ministry, undertook the task of carving a lifesize North American tiger to be mounted on the campus lawn as a gift from the 1935 senior class. He was a Ouachita student at the time. He learned this art from his Italian father, who was in the stone business. Before coming to Ouachita at the age of 25, Worley did flat panel carvings at the Louisiana State Capitol, carved the Saints in the Philadelphia Cathedral and the eagles above the Little Rock post office. Even though these birds look lifesize from the ground, Worley said that they are actually nine feet in height. “| hate to see how the Tiger has gotten broken up,” said Worley. An attempt at restoration was made once, related Worley. He constructed a new tail out of concrete, and the students took off the gold paint by putting gas on the Tiger and burning it. Underneath, the marble tiger was as good as new.

A lot went into the making of OBU’s Tiger. Somewhere in New York, the president of the senior class obtained a model of a North Ameri- can tiger. The school administration offered to exchange tuition for Worley’s skill, and the senior class offered to buy the marble. ‘“‘Back in those days,” said Worley, ‘‘schools didn’t have money.” The senior class gota truck, drove to Batesville and found a seven ton piece of hard Batesville marble which had broken and fallen down be- tween railroad tracks while being loaded onto a train. “It was beautiful,’ said Worley. After securing help, they picked the block of marble up and turned it around. It was then cut down to get the seams out, leaving one 2-1 2 ton piece of solid flawless marble. There was no charge to the senior class for the marble, but they did have to absorb the expense of getting help with breaking it up and loading.

One day a lucky producer is going to grab onto that girl’s voice and make something big out of her sing- ing.” And singing was something that Deanna Briley, a sophomore from Blytheville, had done a great deal of her lifetime. But, there was one thing that set Deanna apart from all of the shower-singers and the people who hum along with their car radios — Deanna’s voice was tak- ing her places and was getting her name known around the country to some of the top dogs in the recording industry. “It all started when a guy named Andrew Fry heard me singing with the Ouachitones at Magic Springs last year,’ she said as she sat in her bright and cozy dorm room, blowing on her wet fingernails. Fry was impressed with Deanna’s voice and asked her if she would come to his studio in Hot Springs — Gregory Andrews Audio Productions, Inc. —to make a demo tape. “A demo tape is just a recording of someone’s voice used for demonstration purposes,” De- anna said. “People often come to Andrew’s studio and say, ‘Okay, I need a backup singer for Diane Hoag Russellville Scott Hoffmann Mt.

Andrew told me that he wanted to get my voice on tape to have on hand at the studio, so I went down there the next week. We made a couple of recordings, and, girl, it was something else! I knew right then that I had to do something with my music.”’ Within the next few months, Fry stayed in close contact with Deanna, and it wasn’t long before he had a job for her as a backup singer. Fry called Deanna one day and said, ‘‘Okay, kid, I've got you a job. You’re going to be singing with a band called ‘The Country Connection,’ and yall are going to be the warmup act for Johnny Rodriguez when he plays in Hot Springs next month.” “T couldn’t believe it,’ Deanna said. ‘But, when I found myself out on that big stage at the concert, I just loved it! Honey, I sang my heart out that night!” After the concert a woman approached Deanna and began talking to her. “She handed me acard,”’ Deanna said, “‘and told me that her father was Lonnie Bell with radio station KYON in Billings, Montana. She said that her father had been looking for someone with my voice for a long time, and that he would be getting in touch with me soon. Well, I didn’t really believe her, because people come up to me all the time and say, ‘Honey, you really should do something}}}, : with your singing.

His daughter had|j}. given him a tape of Deanna while she was sing-| ing with “‘The Country Connection,” and he was : nt very impressed with what he heard. “the greatest feeling in the world” |” This news excited Deanna, because Bell’s sta-| tion in Montana was what you call a “‘breakout})' station.’’ They were associated with the ““Ameri-| iii can Top 40” radio program, and the directors of} each breakout station work closely with Casey e Casom of ‘‘American Top 40.” They were the |) i top people in the recording industry who got together every year and decided who the biggeatlle Hist recording stars of the year were going to be, and) who’s going to have the biggest hits. “‘If a group | makes it big,” Deanna said, “it’s because of nt them.” Is “Bell said that he wanted me to send him a_ yw Cont. from page 134) demo tape, that he wanted the other directors ( from the breakout stations to hear me sing, too. | So I told him that I would — as soon as I raised $3500.

But, his only problem was that he didn’t ave anybody to do his demo tape — until he jeard Deanna and Marcia Ramirez while they cH y ty were performing at Magic Springs. 4 | “We met David,” Deanna said, ‘“‘and he told ‘us that he wanted us to do the tape for him. Of ‘course the money was good, so we said ‘Sure. i Why not?’ We recorded in Hot Springs one night until 5:30 a.m., but we finally got it done. David ‘sent the tape to MGM, and they thought it was “You know, a really neat thing almost hap- pened,” Deanna said wistfully. ““At first the Pointer Sisters didn’t want to do the music for “So Fine.” They didn’t want any part of it, but later they changed their minds. It would have been neat if they didn’t do it, and MGM had put me and Marcia on that soundtrack! That would have been great!

I had an appointment to audition for the Lawrence Welk Show last sum- mer, and he even wants me to send hima tape. But right now there’s just no way to raise all that money. Although finishing school is her top priority right now, excitement sparked from Deanna’s light blue eyes when she talked about her future. ‘Td like to visit New York soon,” she said, “‘just to check it out and see if I’d like to work up there. But the recording industry is such a tough busi- ness, anyway, so it wouldn’t be very smart to jump the gun and say, ‘Okay, I’m moving up there,’ without knowing if New York is my thing or not. Who knows — I might get up there and say, ‘My gosh! I could never live in this trash! I’m going back home!’ But, that would be okay, too, because where ever I go, and whatever I decide to do, I know that I will always have my music there with me, and that’s the greatest feeling in the world!”’ CJ PRACTICING FOR THE ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF TIGER TUNES is Junior Deanna Briley.

Sophomores. A special dilemma. They were no longer freshmen. They didn’t check their post office boxes three times a day and plead with Dr. Coppenger to please make sure he didn’t over- look a package from home. They were not the first ones in line at Walt’s anymore and they somehow learned to survive on something other than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sophomore girls didn’t sit by the phone patiently awaiting a call from this week’s heartthrob up- ‘“‘Wow, I could’ve had a V-8.’’ perclassman and they didn’t fight over who was going to answer the hall phones, either, and the Gurdon Light wasn’t as scary the second time around. No, they were not freshmen anymore. But neither were they seniors with definite career plans in mind for the future. The newness of college had worn off, but life after Ouachita seemed interminably distant. It was hard to re- member the time when they weren't in college, but post-graduation seemed equally unreal. Life for sophomores was a revolving door of empty post office boxes, potato chips at lunch and date- less Saturday nights. The sophomore slump vic- tim thought that he’d seen this movie some- where before. It was an identity crisis. Stuck in the:middle. | Middle-aged. Many sophomores turned 20 dur- Ing the year and lost their teenage status. It was the “‘I-Don’t-Know-What-I’m-Doing-Here- But- |- Don’t-Really-Know-What-Else-To-Do- So- Here-I-Am” syndrome. A sophomore suddenly woke up from the middle of his fall semester, realized that his par- ents had shelled out thousands of dollars to send im to college (and for what? for what?), and he hought to himself, ‘‘Wow, I could’ve had a -8.” Sophomores altered their _ lifestyle, hanged their majors and changed them back again faster than Clark Kent changed to Super- an. For those who came to Ouachita with their areer objectives carved in stone the indecision as disconcerting, depressing. That’s when the slump hit, when they were the most susceptible, hen they were down and out and couldn't decide what to major in this week. fe] AS THE SLUMP HITS, many sophomores find hemselves doing the same thing every day.

The video challenge by David Wilson n 1981, Asteroids bombarded the game room | in Evans Students Center, and the Tiger Grill fell under the rule of an alien known as Gorf. The game room was reigned by computers in the form of Pac Man, Tempest, Qix, and Pleiades. A large number of students fell under control of these four machines. If you never submitted to the beckoning call of one of those computers, you probably kept away from the gameroom. But if you ever put that first quarter into the slot, you were forever a servent of one of those mechanized monarchists. Those under the spell followed orders like, ‘“‘Put in an- other quarter.” ‘‘Skip your next class.”’ “‘Don’t study yet.” ‘Change another dollar.”’ Apparantly, Baptist were not immune to the INTELEVISION HAS BECOME A POPULAR SPORT of the gameroom as many students like Brent Blackmore and Keith Brickell try their skill at video football, tennis, and basketball. video game craze that swept across the nation. Males were more susceptible than females. (Na- tion wide, male players outnumbered the oppo- site sex 20 to one and the odds were about the same on campus.) Most of the video games blasted away things, which is probably why so many males took out the day’s frustrations on alien spacecraft. Pac Man was more appealing to the ladies. It did not deal with blasting, but with eating. Coincidence, or not? Dr. Bill Underwood, owner of Spaceport, a video game arcade downtown, said that college students make up about half of his business. He also added that some of his customers are “rather noted businessmen around town.” Sophomore Curtis Richey mastered Pac Man. He said that playing the machines is kind of like battling the elements. “It’s something that you know is eventually going to beat you, but you try to beat it anyway,” he said. Curtis usually kept Pac Man busy for a half hour and 25 cents. Larry Romack, the Qix champion on campus, said he played video games just because they were fun. He said he preferred Qix over the other games, and added, “I think it’s one of the least violent ones.” Ouachita’s highest score on Pleiades surpas- sed 19800, and was achieved by Brian Watson. | Brian played Pleiades 45 minutes to an hour ona single quarter.

Several spoke out against the video games, but it appeared that they were far outnumbered. by those who play. (The number of Pac Man games alone totaled more than 96,000.) Whether or not the computerized pastime was good for society, was hard to say.

Laura’s father was a minister there, while Janine’s father served as the music director. One of the differences in life in Hawaii was the absence of “‘the preppy.” Anything went, and the people casually lived each day one day at a time. An exciting aspect of coming to the mainland to attend college was the weather. “‘I had never seen seasons before. In Hawaii the temperature was always the same. Everyone was so sick of it when it snowed, but was waiting for more,” said Laura. “They teased me about chasing the falling leaves, but in Hawaii we didn’t have fall,” com- mented Janine. “The snow was great, but | didn’t like the ice. Another thing was the squirrels. We had never seen any except in the zoo. We have mongeese instead.” Although Laura has been a life long resident of Hawaii, she had visited Ouachita once before.

The free time Janine and Laura have at home was spent much in the same manner as it was here on the mainland, going to movies, sewing, and attending disco’s and parties that their friends gave. The beach was also a favorite place to visit. “There were a lot of adjustments to make, but our brothers Nolan and Steve helped a lot. They sort of paved the path into the social life by introducing us to their friends,” said Janine. “One of the great things is everyone has something in common because we’re all going to a Christian school.” Laura concluded, “The thing that makes Ouachita the best is the people.”’ fe} Freshmen 151 Sandy Higginbotham Texarkana, TX Judith Holcombe Yorba Linda, GA Jaren Key Rio De Janeiro, Brazil —————————————— eee = _—— Se z Mari Anne King Quitman Kathy Kirk Bismarck Scoti Kirkpatrick Fountain Valley, CA Crystal Kittler Pine Bluff Mark Kizzar Texarkana Denise Kneisel Conroe, TX Nathan Knight Batesville Brenda Leigh Texarkana Steve Leim Hope Denise Leverett Nashville Barbara Lewis Crossett Christy Lindstrom Venezuela Chad Lindwall Bald Knob Tann Lloyd N.

Don’t do that.” ‘‘This is re- quired.” “It’s for your own good.”’ These were common phrases that were heard ‘by freshmen, both men and women, each year. Being in the ROTC (Reserved Officers Train- ing Corp) was a first time experience for most freshmen men. The program has become a part of a longstanding tradition since its beginning in 1888. One of the first questions asked by male stu- dents is, “Why is ROTC a required course?” Lt. Col. Doyle Hernden, proffesor of military sci- ence said, “ROTC was a requirment suggested by the university, not the army. It ties in with the philosophy of a liberal arts education wherein everyone learns a little bit of everything. The ROTC Revitalization Act did away with manda- tory requirement as a catch to University land grants, but the administration felt that it was still important.”’ The goverment did not fund the program di- rectly, but provided instructors and test books. Several students also benefitted from the pro- gram. Fifteen active ROTC students received scholoarships totaling $150,000 to furnish them their college education. Men were not required to wear uniforms or to perform in drill excercises. And, in an effort to attract quality participants, the army tried to make courses more exciting. The OBU ROTC freshman could select classes ranging from wil- |) derness survival to marksmanship. And the over-riding emphasis through it all was on lead-| | ership. But for the women, it was a case of discrimina- tion vs. protection. The question was, should adults 18 years old _ or above be required to check in and out like | children who run to ask mom if they can go to | Susie’s house down the block? This was a favor- | ite topic of discussion among freshmen who had | not yet resigned themselves to writing down their | destination when they left the dorm after curfew ! time.

Virtually every office on campus enlisted he aid of student workers. | Students qualified for C.W.S. on the basis of heir financial need, as determined by the Ameri- n College Testing Institute — according to _ hiidelines set up by the federal government. _ |hey were then assigned to various jobs accord- ig to their individual interests and skills, when ssible. These jobs ranged anywhere from sec- tarial work to building maintenance. Even this riter was employed by C.W.S. Probably students’ least favorite place to work jas the cafeteria, due to the difficulty and unap- jealing nature of the work. Students were only quired to work there for one semester. Not only was the enlistment of student labor revalent, but student participation was signifi- fant also. Rozelle Goodson, financial aid official, ‘timated that over two-thirds of the student Jody received some sort of financial aid — in one prm or another — with over 700 on payroll for e work programs alone. Many others received lid in the form of loans, grants and scholarships. | Students were not only employed by College ork Study, a program funded primarily by the Pderal government, but were also employed on Ce O.B.U.

The first clue to the maze of rainbows, begins at the door (in room 111 on Perrin Hall). The source (or should we say pot of gold?) at the end of the multitude of rainbows is Amy Anderson and Jennifer Williams, freshmen roommates. During their Texas High school days Amy and Jennifer were best friends, and while preparing for college, Jennifer bought a set of rainbow sheets and those sheets grew into a whole room of rainbows. On the door of room 111 are various cards, sayings and posters giving you an idea of what's to come. Upon opening the door you were im- mediately surrounded by one wall of clouds, one wall of stripes, and rainbow curtains. The legen- dary multi-colored streaks did not stop in the room though, they even splash into the bath- room. There you find rainbow towels and natur- ally, a rainbow shower curtain, (after all, rain- bows do appear after showers, right?). When faced with the prospect of moving at the end of the year, Amy and Jennifer rolled their eyes and clutched their stomachs — it just wasn’t their favorite thought to dwell on. On a brighter side they say they can use the stripped paper (originally wrapping paper) for gift wrap and the cloud paper? (Hallmark tableclothes)? “Well,” said Amy, “we are going to have a picnic!” [C_] THE DOOR TO THE RAINBOW ROOMisaclueto | the colors beyond it.

They see you when you're sleeping (in the back row); they Q vand their two o’clock class on Friday. They know know when you’re awake. They know when you cut their eight o’clock class on Monday 'when you didn’t turn your homework in and when you were trying to bluff your way through the class discussion. They notice when you’re out with the flu. 'They express concern when your love life is on the rocks, when your mother is in the hospital, when you’re flunking another teacher’s class. They rejoice with you when you get accepted to the graduate school of your choice. They are educators, counselors, shoulders to cry on, someone to listen, surrogate parents, | friends. The relationship between students and faculty | was a unique one, aclose one, part of the Chris- | tian lifestyle of Ouachita. The smallness of | classes as compared with state universities lent | an air of informality which made it easier for students to get to know each other and for teach- ), ers to get acquainted with their students. But it | was more than that. “I can’t help thinking that | Quachita’s faculty are a unique breed of | educators,’ one transfer student said. ““They care about each other and they care about their || students, and it shows.” A Henderson student taking a class at Oua- chita also noted differences between the fac- || ulties of the two schools. ‘(Henderson teachers ‘usually don’t even know your name or care if i you come to class or not,” he said. After cutting | his Ouachita class, though, the teacher com- | mented on his absence. “‘I couldn’t believe he | noticed I wasn’t there. When I talked with him | |) after class, he took an interest in my views, in my } career goals, in my other classes, and in my personal life,” the student added. Each faculty member was also responsible for | advising a relatively small number of students in planning their schedules each semester. The one-on-one rap sessions usually resulted in strengthening bonds between students and fac- ulty. Many students were assigned college work-study jobs which required them to work closely with the faculty and staff as secretaries, | errand runners, and the like. Sponsoring social clubs or other campus or- ganizations brought the faculty into contact out- | side the classroom with smaller groups of stu- dents with similar interests. They shared the vic- tories, the losses, and the hours of work put into preparing activities. They found out what their students were made of, and likewise, their stu- | dents found out what their teachers were like outside a classroom setting. Because Ouachita was predominantly Baptist, students and teachers saw each other at church on Sundays and often worked together within their churches. Some teachers were also the pas- tors of Arkadelphia churches, so that the guy who preached to students on Sunday morning was often the same guy who taught their Old Testament Survey class on Monday morning. As a part of freshman orientation, students were invited to the homes of Dr. Grant and faculty members before classes ever began. It was with that initial experience, perhaps, that students began to see that Ouachita teachers were people, teo. [(_] ee eer RELIGION CLASSES are often very in- formal as instructors such as Mr. Randall O’Brian teach their students why as well as what they believe. Faculty 161 162 People by Vicky Taylor huge fern sat on a pedestal in one a corner, three African violets sat on one desk, and a few other plants gave the room an atmosphere of warmth. “‘I don’t have to say ‘no’ to flowers,” says Dr. Carl Goodson, Ouachita Baptist University’s very own “‘Dr. No.” According to Dr. Goodson, the nickname that students gave him was based on the fact that ‘‘when certain policies are voted on by the faculty and students want to deviate from them, someone has to say no, and that just goes along with the job of being Vice President for Academic Affairs.” Dr. Goodson was in his 35th year of teaching or administration and not all of those years were at Ouachita. ‘‘I prepared for the pastorate because I thought that was where the Lord wanted me to be and where all the action was as far as the Kingdom of God was concerned,” Dr. Goodson added. This year marked Dr. Goodson’s retirement from his administrative duties. As he put it, “The last contract has been signed’ but he hopes to serve the University by teaching a couple of classes each semester ‘“‘just to keep his hands in the works.”’ Presently, he is teach- ing the “‘Life of Christ’ class along with his other duties on campus. As he retired, the advice he wanted to im- press upon students’ minds was that “‘with all the getting of your degree and preparing for a career, you shouldn’t forget to get an educa- tion. Many students avoid the liberal studies like history and literature that will always be with them, and their education should be able to last them a lifetime,”’ he explained. .

I have had the chance to observe other schools and I feel Ouachita has made a great contribution with the leaps that it has in the field of Christian education,” he went on. ‘For instance,”’ he continued, ‘Ouachita was taking steps in integration long before it was a national crisis.” ““Two years ago, OBU was the first school in the state to host Elderhostel, a program for giving new aspects to Ouachita’s educational opportunities.” Even with all of the responsibilities Dr. Goodson had over the years, he has still found the time to enjoy his favorite pastime, garden- ing. He grew both vegetables and flowers and had been accused of having a “green” thumb. “‘I have already planted a gross of bulbs for next spring,” he said. “As a child I had a garden. I wasn’t a farm boy buta city boy, but I still liked to watch things grow. I enjoy traveling and taking photos of travel, also. You could hardly call me a photographer, but I do like to shoot with the camera,” he went on. Reading was also a favorite of Dr. Good- son’s. Mark Twain was the present focus of his attention in “‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,’ which was a satirical view of royalty and the established church. Goodson said alternating a current best seller with the more established books like classics keeps reading fresh and interesting for him. Of all the literary devices that could be used to sum up the type of person Dr. Carl Goodson really was, a quote from a plaque that sits on his desk seemed most appropriate. It read, ‘“‘Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh often, work hard, give freely, pay promptly, pray ear- nestly, and be kind.” [ ] APPROVING A STUDENT’S DEGREE PLAN is only one of the administrative duties of Dr. Goodson. se ith a ea i ees Doyle Herndon Military Science Dennis Holt Drama Maurice Hurley Psychology Joe Jeffers Chemistry, Biology I.

LOLOL ee The center of attention was her desk that had a neatly cluttered look with lists of | things to do and notes and memos of appoint- ments, folders of projects, and maybe a ‘‘Rubik’s Cube’”’ to break the monotony of the desk top. @ arol Roper’s office reflected her character. | The walls with their collages and memorabilia gave evidence of a certain pride at the good that | had been accomplished over the years since she | has been here. And a lot of ‘“good”’ has been accomplished since Carol came back to Ouachita after being a student here for four years. When she came to OBU, her job description was assistant director of faculty development, but little did she know what was in store for her. After two years, Dr. Grant, President of Oua- chita Baptist University, approached her about being director of the Ouachita Student Founda- tion. Despite an underlying fear of the University in whether or not a small, Baptist college could make a student foundation successful or not, Carol made it into one of the best in the United States. “‘Students helping students’ was their motto and goal through activities such as Tiger Tunes, Tiger Traks, Dinners for Twenty, and the Shadowing Program. Carol talked about her group’s dedication. “Here at Ouachita, being of the foundation is an honor. A lot of state schools have to serve beer and pizza at their meetings just to get their mem- bers to come, but our kids come on their own initiative. OBU students are the real source of why Ouachita is different from any other school. There are so many unique opportunities here because we believe in the Christian part of grow- ing up.” Growing up at OBU in that Christianity- geared atmosphere was what Carol did when she came to Ouachita. “‘I was going to Baylor and had heard a lot about OBU through my church. My pastor's wife talked me into just going to see the school (she had a cousin here named Mac Sisson). When I visited Ouachita, it was probably the ugliest physically it has ever been, because they were right in the middle of tearing down Old North Dormitory. I stayed in Flippen-Perrin dorm and we stayed up all night. There was just this feeling of the Lord wanting me to be here. Mac Sisson had a lot to do with me finally deciding on OBU. “Now I think in recruiting how unusual it was for me to change my mind on where I wanted to go to school and how it can take just one person to make someone come to Ouachita.”’ Recruiting prospective students was another facet to Carol’s busy life. When the admissions office gets overloaded, they call Carol Roper to talk to the would-be OBUers. Many of Ouachi- ta’s present students can attest to the fact that she had a bearing on their final decision in coming to Quachia. Maybe it was the little things she did like buying lunch for them, or sending them letters covered with paw prints, or maybe it was remembering a student’s name when they came to visit again. Whatever it was, Carol had a way of letting people know that Ouachita was a good school and that if they didn’t really want it, not to come; but if they did want it, she would do everything in her power to open the doors. The person Carol wanted people to see her as was very independent, calm, collected, and not ultra-emotional, but. . . another side to her was to be found — it was the side that taught a church training union class at Second Baptist Church in Arkadelphia, the side that enjoyed drawing pen and ink scenes and collecting miniature trikes and bikes, it was the side that loved ‘“‘Wood- stock’ of Charlie Brown cartoons. Woodstock was ‘‘the character” in her mind, and a look at her key chain, her shelves, and posters let everyone know how important the little yellow bird was. Perhaps Carol summed up the type of person she was in her own words about people who enjoyed working for Ouachita, ‘“What we give comes back to us in the long run.” [7] Ed Seale Administration Joyce Seale Former Student Placement Jake Shambarger Education Mary Shambarger Music Jim Shults Missions Sue Shults Sec. to Athletic Dept.

Dr. Paul Hendershot took advantage of an opportunity to spend two weeks, Aug. 9-23, 1981, in the U.S.S.R. He observed that ‘‘there is no great , military or police presence, but there is evident dominance of government and trade unions.’ He believed that the ‘‘ ‘Classless Society’ is a myth!” “There is a dominance of the ‘Marxian Dialectic’ — the Communist Line.” _ The trip was sponsored by the Labor Research Association in New York City at a reasonable cost and Hendershot was in a group of 24 people including economists, sociologists, and other educators. One of the first things Hendershot learned was, “You don’t call it Russia; the U.S.S.R. is made up of 15 nations.’’ He visited Moscow and Leningrad in Russia and then Baku in Azer- baijan. Hendershot remarked that ‘“‘all three cities were very beautiful and clean — no graffiti! Even the subways were showplaces,”’ describing Moscow as superb. He observed ‘‘an absence of personal cars and was told there was a short- age.” ‘‘The people depended heavily on public transportation,”’ thus, the lack of a great net of highways, and little traffic. In each of the cities, the group stayed in hotels owned and operated by Trade Unions. Hender- shot described the food and services as good. Also in each city, the group had a meeting witha Trade Union Group, which is given great free- dom by the government. Hendershot said the most interesting group meeting of the trip was one with a Planning Commission Group of three economists. They planned man-power for the various industries in the U.S.S.R. and “one in particular talked about the difficulty of allocating labor, frankly admitting they were a communist society, planning with that direction.”” The economists also admitted a shortage of food-stuffs. Hendershot witnessed “long lines at stores and not many consumer goods.”’ The group spent a total of five days in Mos- cow, visiting the University, Lenin Hill, Olympic ‘You don't call it Russia Village, which after the 1980 Summer Olympics, was turned into apartments for 12,000 people, the Kremlin and Red Square. Dr. Hendershot described the Kremlin as “‘to me, of course, one of the highlights of visiting Moscow.” After waiting an hour and a half to get in, the group was permitted to go through the ‘tomb of Lenin, marching two by two, and to see his body. ““They deny hero worship of him (Lenin), but I think it’s pretty obvious,” he said. The group then went by train to Leningrad the next morning. They stayed four days in Lenin- grad at the Hotel Gavan, and Hendershot de- scribed it as ‘‘really the most beautiful city — in some respects reminiscent of Venice and Amsterdam.” Their visits included: the Winter Palace or “Hermitage,” which had been con- verted to one of the finest art museums in the world; a ballet performance (the Bolshoi was not in town); a “‘Rest’’ or recreation home on the bay accommodating 700 people; the vast Pis- karevsky Cemetery, where 500,000 who died in the seige of the Germans were buried in mass graves and which also contained a representa- tive statue of “‘Mother Russia’’; and finally, the flower stalls — individuals were permitted to sell flowers: without government interference and “they seemed proud of the fact they could show us an example of free enterprise,” said Hender- shot. The group then flew to Baku in Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea. The “‘Old City” had walls and towers which they claimed were 800 years old, while the new city was a prosperous, modern oil ‘center. It was here they made “‘one of the most inter- esting visits’’ for Hendershot — a Youth Camp for the training of communist youth. They were told that in all of Azerbaijan there were 246 camps, that one having maybe 200-250 youth in the summertime. ‘‘There were 20,000,000 young people in such camps in the entire Soviet Union,” they were told. Hendershot observed that as a whole, ‘‘the people were generally well dressed, but aloof from tourists.’” He also commented that ‘“‘any- one who could, wore jeans — they simply don’t have the opportunity to buy them.”’ He said that tI in spite of the dominance of the Communist- Line, people were ‘‘emphasizing their desire for peace and friendship.” ‘‘At the time we were over there they were very antagonistic toward Reagan and his plans to deploy the neutron bomb.” It was obvious they did not want a re- currence of war, Hendershot said. Hendershot commented that Lenin was everywhere — on billboards, signs, and slogans and that “In my own frank opinion, there is still a | ‘Cult of Lenin.’ ” Only occasionally were Lenin and Breshniv pictured side by side, and Stalin was nowhere except in Red Square, at his grave. Hendershot again said that members of the Communist Party, government and military | have superior places in society and that their dominance is far more than any dominance in our society. He said the difference in our | societies was that their government had a ca wt mT uth WHILE IN THE U.S.S.R., Dr. Moscow, Leningrad, and Baku. Hendershot visited stranglehold”’ on people. Hendershot express- fda ‘“‘shudder that 20 million youth are trained ach summer” and that he wished the ‘‘people ad the power to rebel and establish a democra- c government.”’ x | Commenting on the fact that the U.S. was i@ jriends with the Russians in WWII, Hendershot iw {aid “Particularly a lot of older Russians have � jespect for America and can’t come out from der the dominance of communism.” Hendershot also expressed a desire for the je-establishment of religious practices. He said, |‘We were told if a church had a cross on top, it Was an active church.” “But when seeing one ‘And asking if it was active, we were told no.’’ He aid, however, there was some evidence of reli- ion. One member of their group went to a atholic church and said there were 50 people resent, 45 women, five men, and no children. Hendershot said, “‘I think they are permitting ome of the older people to go to church and the 4 Ae ones are just ignoring it or not going; hey are left out.” {4 DR.

Grant. “Students probably don’t understand the way things are run around here. It’s because they aren’t in touch with the administration.” As for students, they probably weren’t per- sonally affected by the operation of the adminis- trative staff. “As long as I didn’t park in Dr. Grant’s parking space, we kept our domains intact,” one student was overheard saying. “‘T haven’t been impressed with the adminis- tration as far as student affairs is concerned,” said one transfer student. “I don’t think they understood my problems with getting enrolled.”’ “The administration is composed of two sets of people,” said Dr. Grant, “‘those who are in positions of responsibility for policy and those who actually carry it out — the staff of the admin- istration.” Ultimately, administrative policy is formulated at the Board of Trustees level, which sets the standards for the administrative policies, which are then executed by the administrative person- nel. The branch of the administration most dealt with by students was the probably the office of the Dean of Students, composed of Dean B. Aldon Dixon and Dean of Women Students, Neno Flaig. These people dealt directly with stu- dents’ lives, determining dormitory policies, rules and regulations. DR. DANIEL R.

Reaching still a larger group of students was the Baptist Student Union. The BSU motto of “Inward and Outward Journey” was evident in their many projects. However, the outward as- pect was stressed more often in the mission en- deavors, big brother big sister program and their support of the Ouachita Players and several sing- ing groups. Like AWS, the BSU also had a freshman council which allowed freshmen to get actively involved. BASS (The Black American Student Society) sought to reach a large but more specialized group than BSU, as it strove to unite the black students. The main project for BASS was Race Relations Week. Reaching still more specialized groups were the College Republicans and the Young Demo- crats.

One example of their service as described by College Republican President David Sims was their promotion of voter registration. Serving students in the areas of education and entertainment was the Student Entertainment and Lecture Fund. SELF was the official enter- tainment organization and was funded by a por- tion of the student activity fee. The activity fee was used to provide movies, concerts, lectures, and special events. Plans for these projects were jir; made at weekly meetings. At one such meeting, py), Taylor King, chairman of the club, informed the members that SELF had received a 93% ap- proval by the students on a questionaire about!) campus organizations. This percent was far} above that received by any other club.

OSF worked throughout the year to raise money for scholarships which were awarded to juniors and seniors. Their two main projects, Tiger Tunes and Tiger Traks, provided more than just mon- ey. They encouraged pride and competition be- tween individuals and clubs and promoted the name of the school throughout the state. With the money raised, OSF awarded approximately 112 to 115 $500 scholarships. Promoting not only the name of the school, but its Christian influence were the Ouachita Players. This acting group of twelve performed Christian plays in churches, prisons and chil- dren’s homes throughout Arkansas. One member, Mark Rutherford said, “‘It gives us a chance to minister to those who wouldn’t go to church or sit through a sermon. It has made me appreciate my Christian backgr ound when we go into the juvenile homes.”’ According to direc- tor, Nickol Northern, tryouts are based more on attitude and testimony. They feel that talent can be developed later. In its own kind of ministry, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes provided a time of sharing for the students involved. Only about half the stu- dents involved were actually athletes, and all students were invited to the weekly times of shar- ing, prayer, and Bible study. During the weekly meetings, the men and women met separately, but once a month the groups combined for a “huddle and cuddle” session at Coach Van Bar- rett’s house. In a more educational way, the Ministerial Al- liance provided practical information for ministe- rial students. At their bi-weekly meetings the stu- dents met with missionaries, preachers and other church officials. The Arkansas Baptist Conven- tion also awarded $300 scholarships to ministe- rial students involved in the organization. For students that preferred the more studious life, academic clubs provided both incentive and rewards. Alpha Chi was designed for this pur- pose as it recognized the top ten percent mem- bers of the junior and senior classes. Blue Key was also a national honor organization, but it was open only to men. Unlike most academic clubs, Blue Key had two successful projects. They sponsored the Miss OBU Pageant and sold mums during Homecom- ing. Other academic organizations were designed for specific departments. For example, in the area of science there were two national organiza- tions, the Beta Beta Beta Biological Society and The Gamma Sigma Epsilon Chemistry organiza- tion. Other such organizations were Kappa Delta Pi for education majors, Phi Alpha Theta and in- ternational history society, and Phi Beta Lambda a national business fraternity. These organiza- tions recognized outstanding students in their respective fields. For Home Economics majors, the American Home Economic Association provided speakers at their monthly meetings and worked to pro- mote the department. Another departmental or- ganization that was formed this year was the Psychology club. With access to service and academic organiza- tions like the ones described, students interested in almost any aspect of service or field of study could always be actively involved.

The meet, for high school students, was sponsored by the ROTC de- partment. 178 Organizations The best for the job: Male or female, freshman or career-bound student, ROTC looks for only the best | by Rusty Breshears eserved Officers Training Corps was in- tended to train cadets to be commis- sioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army, it also served as an introduc- tion to the military, required for all male freshmen. In the first-year classes leadership, defense establishment, and emergency first aid were studied, along with an elected leadership lab including mountaineering and wilderness survival. The four-year scholarship program took many students through college. MS-2 students Andrew Brown had a four year ROTC scholarship that covered full tuition fees, books and a $100 a month living allowance. “No matter what, sometime in my life I in- tended to serve in the military. ROTC gives me the capacity t o serve as an officer, and gives mea job after school, doing something I’ve always wanted to do,” he said. There were several organizations in ROTC that offered students opportunities for social and military activities. The Pershing Rifles included a precision drill team and a color guard. Drill team commander Anita Warren practiced her squad in marching formations and routines weekdays from 3 to 4. They participated in com- petitions across the state, marching in special demonstrations for state officials and several parades including the 13 mile Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. Warren described the parade as a ‘‘true experience.” “You get a good view of New Orleans and people from all over the world come to see the parade. The crowd is thrilled to see anybody and they are ready for anything,”’ she said. Freshman Micki Freeze went against the ad- vice of some of her friends and became the only girl to participate in the Ranger program, an adventure organization that rappelled, hiked and © went on float trips. In order to be a Ranger, cadets were required to pass a strenuous physi- cal training test which included push-ups, sit-ups, a two-mile run, and a swim through the pool dressed in full fatigues, boots, and ammunition belt, while carrying a 10 pound model M-16 rifle. Freeze passed the Ranger test and made the best swim of the year. “Tm half fish, I was a lifeguard for three years so it’s nothing new to me. I was used to swim- ming with clothes on,” she said. Freeze said that one thing unique about the ROTC department was that although she was considering a career in the army, they didn’t pressure her to make any decision. ‘“Rangers and ROTC are my favorite pari of school,” she said. Seated next to Freeze during the interview, commander of the Rangers, Max Easter, verified that girls were treated like everyone else in the organization. “I have no objections to girls being involved in Rangers, as long as they aren’t given any special treatment,” he said. Captain Clifford Clements, Ranger sponsor, said that there were many areas where women could perform equally as well as men. “‘Whether itisa man or a woman, the army is looking for the best person to do the job,” he said. On the first Ranger outing the group said their sad goodbyes to a white rabbit théy affectionately nicknamed “Ranger Rabbit.” He was purchased a few days before the camp out from a breeder and on that fateful fall night he was killed, skinned and made into chili. Andrew Brown had this to say in mem- ory of the rodent. “Ranger Rabbit made the ultimate sacrifice for his country to teach us how to survive in the wilderness.

There’s an atmosphere that stresses involvement, mainly because a liberal arts edu- cation means more than studying for tests, writ- ing papers or reading books.

What else but Pledge Week? The week | long anticipated by club members and fear- fully dreaded by the pledges. During those six days, the campus took on a carnival atmos- phere, with clowns, cartoon characters and other unidentifiable creatures emerging from the dorms. Students dining at Walt’s were frequently entertained by pledges singing club songs, reciting poetry, or performing other amazing feats, all of which were or- dered by club members. By mid-week, however, Pledge Week had begun to take its toll. Pale faces, swollen eyes with dark circles beneath them, and nodding heads proved that pledging involved much work along with the play. Finally, the last seemingly endless day passed, and pledges and teachers sighed in relief. The new members returned to normal dress, the females resumed wearing make- up, and campus life returned to normal. All involved were the wiser, and the traumas of Pledge Week were almost forgotten when those coveted and hard-earned club t-shirts were worn for the first time.

Other Beta Beta activities during the year in- cluded bush parties, banana split parties, the annual Beta Cartoon Festival during Twirp Week, a Valentine Banquet, rush parties, pledg- ing activities, midnight serenading, and participa- tion in intramurals.

The Chi Deltas also proved this year that they not only could build prize winning floats, but they could also put on quite a performance in the annual Tiger Tunes campus sing.

The clock showed 11 seconds left to play as the last remains of the chant ‘“‘Mic-key MousE-E-E!” echoed across the lawn. The ball was snapped, and with a long, high pass the football left the quarterback’s hands and fell right into the receiver’s arms in the endzone. A roar went up from the crowd, and within the last few seconds of that game the women of the EEE social club had captured the title of 1981 Intramural Football Champions. That was an exciting game, and winning the Intramurals was just one of the things that the EEE’s were noted for this year. With their theme of “Money Mania,” the EEE’s won First Runner-Up honors in the annual Tiger Tunes competition, and they also claimed the Choreog- raphy Award. And, during Homecoming Week, the EEE’s tried something a little bit different. Realizing that the purpose of a float is to promote school spirit, they opted to present a different idea, to spend less money, and to have time to enjoy the Homecoming festivities more. With that, they constructed a “‘live float’ billed as the “Triple E Saloon.” It consisted of a live wild-west scene depicting a shootout between the Tiger and the Reddie, and this “‘live float’ won Second Place honors in the Homecoming float competi- tion. The EEE’s also enjoyed other activities during the year, such as cookouts, various outings, the Luau during Twirp Week, Les Fumes during the Spring semester, rush and pledging activities, and a Christmas Banquet in December.

A need was felt on campus by faculty members and students to form a new men’s social club, and with that, the Kappa Chi men’s social club was born at Ouachita. Its members were excited about starting the new club and about being its charter members. “This year is going to be an interesting one for us,’ said Al Stanford, a member of the new Kappa Chi’s, “because — since we’re new — we're not set in a mold. It’s going to be neat to see how far we can go and how much we can build ourselves up this first year. And I think that the reason that we got so much acceptance right at first is because we’re such a diverse group. We want to get away from stereotypes so that when people hear the name Kappa Chi they just think of a bunch of good guys that like to have a lot of fun.” And the Kappas, along with their twelve little Sisters — Carole Shelton, Alica Kirkpatrick, Tammy Wagnon, Kelly Garcia, Laura Bailey, Teresa Blue, Portia Massey, Sherri Ward, Ruth Reaves, Linda Lloyd, Cheryl Bass, and Dona Stark — did get off to a good start and they did have a lot of fun this year when they participated in many events on Ouachita’s campus.

The football and basketball players were provided with a “‘spirit hoop”’ to run through at the beginning of their games, ghosts and goblins emerged from the old white house as the Shirts provided a haunted house for the purpose of raising money for Group Living, Freshman girls were greeted at Flenniken Drawing Room for the fall Freshman Drop-In, and pledging activities highlighted the Spring semester.

Yet, behind the first downs, tackles and touchdowns were months of sweat, memorizing plays and going to bed early. For each team, the winning design was based on split second timing — a unity that evolved only from hours and hours of extra practices in Walton, on the track or in the pool.

The Living Design 215 An athletic overview Quachita 1945 — 216 Sports by Rex Nelson T here aren’t that many outside thestate of Arkansas who can even pronounce the word Ouachita, but Ouachita Baptist University has made itself known to many simply through the success of its athletic program. For a small, church-related institution, Ouachita has done remarkably well in intercollegiate athletic competition. A combination of good coaches, quality athletes, a‘winning tradition and a normally supportive alumni have made athletics an important part of life at Ouachita. A typical autumn Saturday, for example, sees cars turning off US Highway 67 looking for a place to park. The sweet gum trees surrounding A.U. Williams Field are varied shades of yellow and gold as are the giant pecan trees toward the Ouachita River. Mill Creek bubbles along under a bridge that is being crossed by students clad in bright colors. Noise fills the calm fall air. A band plays, cowbells ring and a cannon fires. A Monday or Thursday night in the winter, meanwhile, finds a mass of loud students in Rockefeller Field House supporting the basketball team. Any given spring afternoon might find the tennis team practicing on the Freeman-Dunklin courts, the golf team at work on its homemade course where the North Campus pastures were once located, the track team practicing at A.U. Williams Field, the football squad engaged in spring practice across the street from Blackmon Field House and the baseball team involved in a doubleheader at Rab Rodgers Field. The athletic teams have traditionally served to unite Ouachita students, faculty and alumni. The football program, perhaps, has the greatest tradition of all at Ouachita. The sport began in 1895 just nine years after the founding of the school. Since that time, Ouachita has fielded numerous successful football squads such as the 1914 team which defeated both the University of Arkansas and the University of Mississippi en route to an 8-0-1 record. COACH VAN’ BARRETT played baseball at Ouachita under the late Rab Rodgers from 1962-65 and returned to join the physical education de- partment in 1977. Since then he has taken his team to the NAIA District 17 playoffs in 1979 and ’80. WHEN CAROLYN MOFFATT ARRIVED as coach in 1965, it took some time to install her new program. But before long she had built one of the na- tion’s most powerful women’s basketball teams like the 1970 squad that finished second na- tionally. The baseball team also has traditional with the late W. H. Halliburton writing in his History of Athletic of Ouachita Baptist College, ‘“‘Ouachita was baseball king of all she surveyed in the early 1900’s and she surveyed plenty. The Ouachita bat and ball artists during that first decade could hold their own with any college or university nine in the nation.” hen Otis Galloway retired as head football coach and athletic director at Ouachita following the close of the 1933 football season, the school looked to the high school ranks for the most qualified man. The search ended in El Dorado with the hiring of Bill Walton, who had graduated from Ouachita in 1924. Walton had begun his coaching career at Fordyce High School where he established one of the state’s top high school football programs turning out college players for the University of Arkansas, the University of Alabama, Louisiana State University and the schools that presently form the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. His career at Ouachita, beginning with the 1934 football season, would prove almost as successful. Following the conclusion of the 1942 season when Ouachita lost but one game (no other schools in the state were playing that year), athletics were suspended. Walton joined the Navy and upon his return found that former assistant Bob Cowan had been hired as head coach at Ouachita. Cowan would head the program until his suicide in 1949. Following a school year in which the program was operated without any real direction, Rab Rodgers was hired as head football coach and athletic director in the summer of 1950. An athletic star in his own right, Rodgers had earned four letters (football, basketball, track and baseball) each year of high school at Tupelo, Mississippi. Rodgers went on to play professional baseball in the Cotton States League and then began his career as a coach at Sunflower Junior College in Morehead, Mississippi where he remained for eight years. That was | followed by two years at Greenville High School in } Mississippi, one year at Northwest Mississippi Junior | College in Senatobia and four years at Smackover High | School. He was not that successful as a football coach at | Ouachita with only two winning seasons in 15 years as head coach, but Rodgers was well-respected around the || region as an administrator.

Vining has spread the Good coaches, quality athletes, and a winning tradition have made athletics an important part of life at Ouachita. | Ouachita name around the world in his position as one of the persons most responsible for the development of the game on an international level of competition. He has served on the coaching staffs of NAIA, AAU and U.S. State Department sponsored teams that have toured Europe, Africa, Mexico and South America. In the summer of 1977, he served as assistant coach of the undefeated United States team at the World University Games in Bulgaria and the next year was head coach of the U.S. team that toured Russia and played for the Yuri Gagarin Cup. Vining has been a member of the coaching staff at the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball trials in 1968, ’72,’76and 80. The Ouachita athletic director has served as president of the NAIA Coaches Association and is a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame. One secret to Ouachita’s athletic success has been the lack of turnover in the major coaching positions. In football, Buddy Benson took over for Rodgers when the latter resigned his coaching duties before the 1965 season. Benson is still head football coach. With an overall record of 95-61-4, Benson has led Ouachita to the best overall won-loss record of any AIC school over the past 15 years despite the ever-present lack of facilities and funds. Benson first gained fame as a player in helping lead Bowden Wyatt's ‘‘little pigs’’ at the University of Arkansas to a share of the Southwest Conference championship in 1954. Selling used cars for a living, Benson attended the Arkansas state coaching clinic in 1961 in hope of finding a job. He found that Rodgers was at the time looking for an assistant, he jumped at the opportunity and has been at Ouachita ever since. The same year that saw Benson take over as head football coach, 1965, also saw Bob Gravett come to Ouachita as head track coach. A 1958 graduate of Arkansas State Teachers College (now the University of Central Arkansas), Gravett coached on the high school level at Humnoke, Keiser and DeWitt before being hired at Ouachita. His teams have won six of the past nine AIC track championships and Gravett was one of the moving forces behind the success of the NAIA outdoor national championship during its five-year stay at Arkadelphia. He has served as secretary of the NAIA Track Coaches Association, as a member of the NAIA Games Committee (Cont. page 218) TWO OF THE MOST WELL RESPECTED COACHES IN THE AIC: Coach Buddy Benson (left) and Coach Bill Vining (top). The arrival of Vining (1955) and Benson (1965) marked a new era for the basketball and _ football programs at Ouachita. In the 17 seasons that Ben- son has led the Tigers, Ouachita has suffered only three losing years. Vining took over a program on the bottom and has turned it into a winner with nine state championships. WILLIAM MILLER led the Tigers to an 8-2 rec- ord his senior season.

The fall of ’65 also saw Carolyn Moffatt come to Ouachita as women’s basketball coach. The 1956 Ouachita graduate had her team in the AAU national tournament in only her second year at the helm. The Tigerettes would return to that tournament the next five straight years and advance to the final game on two of those occasions. The Ouachita coach has spoken and given countless demonstrations through the years while having served as chairman of the National AAU Women’s Basketball Executive Committee and a member of the United States Olympic Women’s Basketball Committee. he hiring of Buddy Benson as head coach marked a turning point for the football program at Ouachita. The school had experienced just two winning seasons in the 16 years previous to his move to head coach. In the 16 seasons since that time, Ouachita has had just two losing seasons. In 48 the Baptists rose to the top under the coaching leadership of Wesley Bradshaw. Ouachita went 9-3 that fall including a pair of postseason games in December —a 7-0 victory over Southeastern Oklahoma in the Texoma Bow at Denison, Texas and a 40-12 loss to Hardin- Simmons University in the Shrine Bow! at Little Rock. Rock. The 50’s however, could easily be referred to as ‘the dark decade’ as far as Ouachita football is concerned. After a mark of 6-6 in 1949, the Tigers started the new decade and the reign of Rab Rodgers as coach with a 2-7 record. That was followed by records of 0-10, 2-5-1, 7-1, 3-6, 2-6-1, 3-5-1, 1-8, 2-5-1 and 3-7. Rodgers had moved to a position of full-time athletic director preceding the 58 season, but came back as head football coach when three-year mentor Lamar Watkins resigned after his team had gone 1-7-2 in 1960. The last four Rodgers-coached teams went out with records of 4-4-1, 4-5, 6-4 and 4-5-1. It didn’t take Benson ALTHOUGH THE 50’S was considered the ‘“‘dark decade” for football at Ouachita, the arrival of Benson in 1965 saw the Tigers begin to compete with the teams in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. An AIC title in 1966 and a 13-10 upset of previously undefeated Arkansas Tech signaled that the Tigers were contenders. After nine consecutive winning seasons the Tigers won a share of the AIC title in 1970 and a trip: to the NAIA national playoffs with a record of 9-2. long to work his magic as his first team went 5-4-1. By 1966, Ouachita had captured a share of the AIC title witha record of 6-4. Marks of 6-4 and 8-2-1 followed in’67 and 68 with the 1968 season seeing a 13-10 upset of previously undefeated Arkansas Tech and a 39-6 crushing of Livingston in the Peanut Bowl at Dothan, Alabama. After a 5-5 mark in ’69, Benson led his team to a share of the AIC crown with an 8-2 season in 1970. The years 1971, 72 and ’73 then saw respective records of 7-3, 6-3-1 and 5-5, Coming into the 74 campaign, Ouachita was picked to finish in the last division of the AIC but surprised the experts with a 7-2-1 mark. The next fallsawa share of the conference championship, a trip to the NAIA national playoffs and a record of 9-2. The past five seasons have witnessed marks of 5-5, 4-6, 8-2, 5-5, and 2-8. If the coming of Benson marked a turning point for football, the coming of Vining was even more of one for the basketball program. His first two squads went 8-12 and 5-20, but by 1957 Vining’s skill as a coach was beginning to show. Ouachita won the Arkansas AAU championship that year. By the year 1962, Ouachita basketball had arrived for sure. The Tigers stunned ASTC and Arkansas Tech, both powers in those days, to win a trip to the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City where they fell to Morris Harvey in the first round. Behind sophomore performers Leon Clements and David Kossover, though, the Tigers bounced right back to go 18-7 in 1963 and win the AIC championship for the first time in 18 years. The feat was accomplished with a 15-3 mark in nonconference play, a record the Tigers duplicated in 1964 as they went 22-5 overall and won a Second straight AIC crown. Wins over Henderson, Harding and Hendrix came in the NAIA District 17 playoffs and the Baptists were once again on their way to Kansas City. Emporia State downed them in the first round that year. Vining’s team made it three straight AIC titles in 1965 with a 27-10 record. And Ouachita would not lose in the first round at Kansas City this time around, either. The Tigers piled up wins over Lincoln University, Lewis College and third-seeded Southern University to advance to the semifinals. Disaster struck when Clements injured an ankle in the Southern | game. With their star player on the bench, the Tigers finally fell to Oklahoma Baptist University by a score of 66-53. With the loss of both Clements and Kossover, the ’66 | season was obviously supposed to have been a rebuilding one. It appeared just that as the team got off to a slow start before surprising everybody in the conference by winning nine straight games down the stretch to finish third in the AIC. The AIC title returned to Ouachita in 1970 with | records of 23-9 overall and 16-2 in the conference. AIC championships and trips to the national tournament would | come also in both ’72 and ’73. Ouachita’s last AIC basketball championship was in 1978. In track over the past few seasons, Ouachita has simply dominated. Gravett has seen the program rebuild, go to the top and stay there with no end in sight. His initial recruiting efforts began to pay off in 1967 when a team If Benson marked a turning point for football, Vining was even more of one for the basketball program. | with 20 freshmen on it set eight new school records.

The | title was repeated in first-place finishes in 78 and 80 | sandwiched a second place finish in 1979. The early years of this century saw Ouachita win the | state championship in baseball year after year. Tiger teams became well known such as in 1916 when the Kansas City Blues of the American Association did their spring training in Arkadelphia with Ouachita giving the Class AA club tough opposition in a number of games. The tradition continued into modern times with Rab Rodgers having several fine teams including an AIC championship squad in 1960. Jake Shambarger took over following Rodgers’ death. He won six straight conference titles beginning in 1967 before turning the coaching duties over to George Jone in 1973. The following year shortstop Roger Pattillo made All-American and led the AIC with a .423 average. Pattillo repeated as an All-American in 69. Bubba Cope was a second-team All-American in 1970 as the tradition lived on. After several years of mediocre play under Jones and Don Purdy, Van Barrett took over in 1979. The Georgia native and Ouachita graduate led his first team to a second-place tie in the AIC and his second team to a tie for thi rd. Each of those seasons saw Ouachita as only one of four teams in the state invited to the NAIA District 17 playoffs. The so-called minor sports are anything but that at Ouachita. In tennis, Ouachita was first in 1977, first in’78, first in '79, second in ’80 and second in ’81. In golf, Ouachita was first in 1977, firstin’78, firstin’79, second in ’80, and second in ’81 also. Registrar Frank Taylor doubles as golf coach and has totally revitalized that program. Another coach that doubles up is religious activities director Elmer Goble who serves as head swim coach. In 1978-79, his first season as coach, the Tiger sharks broke every school record but one and finished second in the AIC. Ouachita was second again the next season and third in 1981. And this type of success is coming from a program that was once struggling just to stay alive. Lamar Watkins had only four swimmers on his team in 1966. Bill Goff took over the following year and didn’t have much better luck as the team failed to win a single meet. The situation had (Cont. page 220) THE EARLY 1900'S saw Ouachita dominate the state in baseball. The team continued to do well with Coach Jake Shambarger taking the coach- ing duties in 1967. He won six straight championships before leaving the team in 1973. THE BASKETBALL TEAM’S FIRST state championship came in 1957. Dan Taylor, number 23, was one of the players that led the Tigers to a 21-4 record in 1978, and a berth to the NAIA national championship tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.

The 1967 season was one which saw the Tigerettes go undefeated against Arkansas competition, a feat that would be repeated in the future. Ouachita regained the Arkansas AAU crown as Southern State (now Southern Arkansas University) fell by a score of 59-53 in the state championship game. Ouachita came into the 1968 campaign with a record of 41-3 against Arkansas schools the previous five seasons and proceeded to win its eighth AAU title in nine years. The Tigerettes made the trip to the AAU national tournament in Gallup, New Mexico where they stunned basketbal l observers by downing third-seeded Wayland Baptist, 42-40, in the quarterfinals. More victories were in store for 1969. The uachita’s long history of athletic success has produced a number of well-known individual athletes and coaches. Over the past two decades, seven men have been inducted into the Arkansas Hall of Fame that either played or coached at Ouachita at one time or another. In 1961, Morley Jennings was inducted. He had come to Ouachita as football coach in 1912 and stayed at the school for 14 seasons before taking the job of head coach at Baylor. Those 14 campaigns, five of them undefeated, saw an overall football record of 69-16-12. Carey Selph was inducted in 62. Born 16 miles from the Ouachita campus at Donaldson, he had been an all-stater at quarterback for Arkadelphia High School. Selph entered Ouachita in the fall of 1922 and became the THE 1980 CANADIAN FOOT- BALL LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, William Miller led the nation in rushing with 1,688 yards and scoring with 19 touchdowns his senior year. Miller ran for more than 4,000 yards during his college career and scored over 40 touchdowns.

He led the Tigers to a 13-7 victory over the University of Arkansas that season. After graduation in 1926, Selph played professional baseball before going into business in Houston where he worked as a noted sports supporter right up to his death. The next Ouachita inductee was J.

Inducted to the dall of Fame in 1968, Bo Rowland crossed the ravine to Quachita as head football coach in 1931 following a } aumber of successful years at Henderson. Foy Hammons, nducted in 1971, was Ouachita’s head football coach yetween Jennings’ departure in 1925 and Rowlands arrival in 1931. Hammons left Ouachita to become head soach at Monticello A M (now UAM). Walton was nducted in 1973. The last individual to gain entry into the Arkansas Hall of Fame with Ouachita connections was Jim Abraham in 1979. He starred for Jennings at the schoolin ‘ootball from 1915-1918 and later went on to a successful righ school coaching career in Lonoke. In addition to the above seven gentlemen, Ouachita had in inductee into the NAIA Hall of Fame for three straight rears — Leon Clements in 1977, Cliff Harris in’ 78 and Bill ining in ’79. Harris, a 1970 Ouachita graduate, has probably been more successful in spreading the school’s name than any individual in history. In his 10 years with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, Hanis was an all-pro five times and started in a record five Super Bowls. Several Ouachita athletes of recent years performed feats that will likely gain them some type of Hall of Fame recognition in the future. For instance, William Miller was the 1980 Canadian Football League rookie of the year after having led Ouachita to an 8-2 record his senior season, 1978. In track, Ouachita graduate Gerald Masterson has become one of the top middle distance men in the world. Masterson won both the 800 and 1500 meter runs in his junior and senior seasons at Ouachita (1977 and 1978) to help pace the Tigers to conference championships. And Masterson was always bringing national attention to the Ouachita athletic program such as when he won the 880-yard run in the university division of the 1977 United States Track and Field Federation Championships. Great individual efforts as both players and coaches have always gone hand-in-hand with good team records in the Ouachita athletic past. [) IN 1978-79, the first season for Elmer Goble as coach, the Tiger Sharks broke every school record but one and fin- ished second in the AIC. Ouachita was second again the next season and third in 1981. Goble said after the 81 season, “We broke numerous school records and everybody placed in the district. Our goal now is to qualify people for the nationals.” An athletic overview Ouachita 1945 — Sports Magazine 221 Ah ae ETE TT TT Re 222 Sports WITH AN INTENT EYE ON THE BALL, Junior Beth Olsen prepares to return a serve during a match against Henderson. JUNIOR MIKE McGOUGH found it necessary to take a few practice shots before the match at the DeGray Fall classic. As early as the 1900's Ouachita offered stiff competition in spring sports. A reputation of dominance: very time an OBU athlete won a race, hit a home run, sank a putt, or won a match, they were continuing a Ouachita tradition: domination in spring sports. Last year’s players and coaches were part of a program that had been developing as early as the turn of the century. In the early 1900's baseball be- came a part of life at Ouachita. Famed Arkadelphia journalist W. H. Halliburton once wrote, “Ouachita was baseball king of all she surveyed in the early 1900's and she surveyed plenty.” Talented players like W. F. Rod- gers and Donald Muse helped de- velop a winning tradition that con- tinued into the years. Rab Rodgers coached the team to an AIC cham- pionship in 1960, while All- Americans like Roger Pattillo and Bubby Cope brought baseball into the seventies. These players and coaches along with many more have developed baseball the way it was at Ouachita. With Coach Van Barrett at the reins the team was invited to the NAIA District 17 playoffs two of the __ last three years. But baseball isn’t the only spring sport with a winning background. Frank Stroope led the Tigers to an AIC golf title in 1928. Since that time, golf took a lesser roll until the arrival of Coach Frank Taylor. With Taylor’s guidance the team finished second in 1975, sixth in ’76, first in 77, first in ’78, first in’79, and sec- ond in ’80. Just as golf enjoyed success in the seventies, the tennis team also fin- ished remarkably well. Of the last five years the team finished first three times and second twice. The team was so dominant in 1977 and ”78 that they finished 17th and 14th nation-wide respectively. But a spring sports success story wouldn’t be complete without the PUTTING THE TAG ON A PINE BLUFF BRAVE, Freshman Jimmy Brown helps to insure a Tiger win over the semi-pro team in the fall. telling of the track story.

But by the time the meet was over his expectations were not lived up to. Don’t misunderstand, the Tiger track team ran extremely well, finishing second just 4.5 points be- hind Harding. But if not for two un- fortunate mistakes it could easily have been another AIC cham- pionship for the Tigers. Tyron Hill, who had been finish- ing high for the team all year, anxi- ous to get out of the starting blocks during the preliminaries, was dis- qualified for stepping on the line. The second misfortune, probably the deciding factor in Harding’s win, happened during the 400- meter relay. The Tigers were lead- ing going on the final leg but drop- ped the baton and were unable to finish. Call it bad luck, misfortunes, or just bad breaks, — ‘“‘You shouldn’t call it that,’ Coach Gravett said. “When you have seventeen events you have to expect something to happen.” Even though there were sad DISPLAYING FINE FORM, Bert Sharp prepares to heave the discus during the AIC Championship meet in which he placed second. SPEED AND AGILITY kept Keith Baker and Terry Thomas leading in the 800-meter run throughout the year. moments the Tigers had their mo- ments of glory, placing at least one person in 13 out of the 17 events, with four first place and six second place finishes. Anthony Daniels, having a very good night, compiled 22.5 points for the Tigers and was high point man for the second year in a row. Daniels while compiling his points raced to a first place, record-setting finish in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10:57, and another first place finish in the 200-meter dash. “I was hampered all year by a pulled muscle,’ Daniels said. “I’m finally able to compete to the ulti- mate. It’s just the Lord’s will that I oe out tonight and won that dou- le.” All-American Henry Harrell placed first in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:53.98 with Keith Baker following exactly a_half- second behind. Prior to the AIC Championship the Tigers had an overall good year winning all of their AIC meets but one. In the Harding relays they placed second behind Harding, who won the meet with 91 points. The Tigers had 80.5 points. The University of Central Arkansas had 54.5 points for third place and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff finished with 31 points. The Tiger track team was the only AIC school represented in the Delta State Relays held in Cleve- land, Mississippi. Mississippi Valley won the meet with 196 points. Ouachita was second with 114 points. Other finishers were Missis- sippi State with 80, Alcorn State with 69, Southern Mississippi with 58, Delta State with 49, and Missis- sippi College with 36. Out of the 22 events Ouachita won four and placed second in six other events. For the day OBU fin- ished among the top six in 14 events.

The Tigers led 5-0 over the Univer- sity of Central Arkansas Bears and were doing everything right against the AIC leaders. They were hitting, fielding, and scoring. But then disaster struck. UCA rallied for five runs to tie the game. In the last inning the Bears struck again, rally- ing for five more runs to take the win 10-5. “We were the kind of a team,” said Coach Van Barrett, “‘that was always a couple of outs away from being a good team.” For the last two years, the team has met the Bears when both were in contention for the AIC cham- pionship. Both years the Bears swept the two game series knocking the Tigers out of the race, but this time the team won the second game 7-5. “The doubleheader against UCA OB : tay “a 0) 1 O8Y The Tigers found they were a few outs short of being a good team In need of strike three typified the year,’ Coach Barrett said. “‘We had them beat, and lost 10-5.

The team belted 30 hits in the three games while winning 3-2, and 12-5 against Southern Baptist, and 12-3 against Paris Junior College.

A record breaking fault by Tim Wooldridge urrounded by anticipation and concem, the men’s tennis team watched as Harding University rolled onto the campus for a showdown of the un- beatens. Earlier in the year, Chris Chance said, ‘‘Ouachita has dominated for so long in AIC tennis that it (cham- pionship) is taken for granted. This year it is hard to say. It'll be tough between us and Southern Arkan- sas, Hendrix and Harding.” It was the last team they were concemed with now. In the heat of the day the teams slugged it out with the victory going to Harding 6-3. At the time, the match was impor- tant. It was a pre-championship. Harding took first and Ouachita took second. But later in the year the match was meaningless due to the ruling of an ineligible player for Members of the MENS TENNIS TEAM are, FRONT ROW: Doug Lan- caster, Mark Cushman, Dale Tommy.

The team was under the impres- sion that all their players were eligi- ble, but after the season was over they found Keith Chance ineligible. “My first reaction, I was disap- pointed,’ said Thomas Talbot, “but it was typical of the entire year.” “What would have been bad,” said Mark Cushman, “‘is if we had beat Harding and won the cham- pionship. We would have been forced to give it over.” At the first of the year, the team turned in a player roster to the regis- trar’s office. The registrar found Chance ineligible and turned the roster over to Coach Bill Vinning, Athletic Director, without Chance’s name on it.

Under this sys- tem, the coach of the team will re- ceive a copy of the list from the registrar, sign it, and then send it to the athletic director. The women’s team enjoyed an- other winning season finishing 5-4, and fifth in the AWISA. The highlight of the year came when Diane Mackey, sophomore from Fort Smith, advanced to the finals in the number five singles flight in the AWISA tournament. Mackey won her first two matches 6-3, 6-3 and 6-2, 6-3 be- fore facing Beckey Wiskotoni of ASU in the finals. Mackey won the first set 6-1, but lost the next two i a i 3-6, 3-6.

Kinley’s score was followed by Rocky Mantooth’s 72, Scott Hel- ler’s 73, an d Andy Edwards’ 70. The Tigers won the round, the last they would win until round six. In rounds three and four, the team was close to a win, only a few strokes short of defeating Harding. Round four was a_ heartbreaker when the Tigers shot 318 to take second place, while Harding took first with 317. “What really hurt,” said Coach Taylor, ‘‘was round three. We fin- ished third, but we were only one stroke behind second place and three strokes behind first.” Had the Tigers taken first, they might have been able to out score Harding for the championship. As it was, Harding finished six points ahead of Ouachita when awarding points for placement in each of the six rounds. The team placed three members on the All-AIC golf team. John Kin- ley, Rocky Mantooth, the only senior on the team, and Joe Schwarz were named to the team for being in the top eight in the league.

The sea- son opener in Durant, Ok- lahoma, would set the tone for the young Tigers in 1981. Following a disappointing 2-8 record in 1980 the team set out to reestablish itself as a contender. Coach Buddy Benson’s first job was to hit the recruiting trails. And he did, bringing back a plethora of freshmen talent. But this soon led to Benson’ first worries: a _ freshman-sophomore dominated team. The Tigers started seven sophomores and four freshmen with 18 freshmen in the back-up positions. It was obvious these players had the talent as the JV squad went 4-0 in their season with scores of 21-0, 30-0, 24-16, and 28-0 against Southern Arkan- sas, Henderson State, Arkansas- Monticello, and Harding University, respectively. Along with these young players were talented experienced players. One of the most noted was Senior tailback Kent Baggett who was top rusher for the Tigers in 1981. The chemistry seemed to be set for the opening game. Talented underclassmen, experienced vet- erns, coupled with a tradition of winning opening games (13 of the last 14) seemed a positive overtone as the Tigers sought to erase ques- tion marks. The Tigers won the toss and elected to receive. The quick of- fense — the backbone of the team — would be the first tested. But on the first play, disaster struck. All- AIC runningback Kent Baggett went down with a broken collar bone — out for the season. From there the game was a see- saw battle. Southeast Oklahoma broke the ice first with a 7-0 lead. The Tigers came right back to lead at the half 14-10. The Savages took IT WAS ALONG HARD SEASON for the Tigers as they put out every effort they had.

But with ten seconds left to play the Savages were on the Tiger one-yard line. Two plays later the Savages’ quar- terback scored the winning touchdown to send the Tigers home with a 23-20 loss. It was a narrow loss, and except for a few mistakes on both sides of the ball, it was a well played game. Quarterback Robert Jayroe com- pleted 14 of 25 passes for 215 yards while the Tiger backfield rushed for 148 yards. On defense the Tiger secondary came up with two inter- The young Tigers grit their teeth as they faced ceptions while the defensive line held the Savages to only 95 yards rushing. But even with these bright spots, the first game loss put a damper on the season. However, the team quickly bounced back the next week by holding on to a 21-14 victory over Texas Lutheran. A well balanced offensive attack with a strong de- fense was the key in the win. Freshman Dwayne Stanley netted 161 yards rushing while Jayroe threw for another 195. “They hung in there real well,” said Coach Benson. “We could have folded like we did last week, national powerhouses week after week. but this time we refused to.”’ It was a sweet victory, but the last the team would see for the next five Jy games. “It was expected,”’ said Benson. “We were young but we matured every game and won our last two.” Trying to hold a 12 game winning streak over UAM at home, the team responded to UAM’s 7-0 lead witha 95-yard kickoff-return for a touchdown. But it wasn’t enough as the Boll Weevils added two field goals in the second half to win 20-14. For the Tigers, turnovers were |) the killer. Three fumbles and one interception on the day was only a foresight though of the week to come. Ranked fifth in the NAIA, SAU hosted the Tigers and took advan- tage of nine turnovers to roll on to victory 28-7. Those nine turnovers, eight in the second half, neutralized any power the offense had. Fans were hoping fora more ma- ture showing when the Tigers took on Baptist rival Mississippi College. They were disappointed though as | the team coughed up the ball six times in a 17-10 loss. One bright |} spot was the return of the running | game.

The team fought back but fell to its fourth conference loss 34-21. At 1-6 the Tigers moral was naturally low. Playing at Searcy the team let Harding jump on top 14-0 on its first two possessions.

Henderson and SAU each held the number one spot for a week during the season while UCA’s highest climb was to third.

It was these tough teams that OBU played each week. “But these teams were once in our place,’ explained Coach Ben- son. ‘“‘We were once the team to beat and they had rebuilding teams that had to play us.”’ Two conference wins at the end of the season was definitely a moral booster for the ’82 season. And with the great job of recruiting the last two years, the cycle of winning may be on its way back to Ouachita.

We be- came more of a group of friends than just a mere squad.” With the beginning of the fall se- mester, two freshmen joined the squad as well as a mascot.

Still, I ‘knew we had much more po- tential,’ said Toby Anderson. Throughout the season as the cheerleaders practiced, their tech- niques were polished.

As the shot rings out, a throng of ‘runners, between 60 and 150, pour onto the course, the runners’ minds turn toward strategy and how to run the race.

Who was this team? The OBU soccer team. They were the little regarded, underrated team that was state champions for the past four years. After finishing out the spring sea- son with an unprecedented fourth title, the team aimed higher. They challenged both the ‘‘A” and “B” League Memphis champions. De- _ spite only two weeks of practice the rookie reinforced team left with one _ victory and one tie. The first game against “The Quicksilver” was a see-saw battle that was culminated by a last second goal by rookie Greg Wilson from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. | The next day the team gave one of | its finest performances of the year. Despite an injury to goalkeeper | Bruce Burnett, they ended up on top 3-2. What would possess a person to put himself through running con- stantly for 90 minutes two days ina row? “Only the love for the sport,”’ ac- cording to Dan Berry, the team cap- tain from Rio de Janeiro. Even in the six inches of snow that covered the campus some of the players played what they called the “Snow Bowl.” Fools? Maybe, but their record shows that they take their sport seriously. The league started out rocky for the team. Suffering their only shut out and worst defeat in the past four FOR THE PAST four years the soccer team has dominated their state league. In the fall players practiced kicks and then bumping the ball with their heads. Year after years, they were handed a 4-0 upset by Searcy Steel. But that didn’t slow down the Tigers. The very next week they came back with a 9-1 rout over Hendrix col- lege. Bruce Green from Ghana, and Paul Damon from Rio de Janeiro scored their first goals in a Ouachita uniform. Dan Berry be- came the only goalkeeper to scorea goal in OBU history. The following week was the most important game for the team. They faced arch rivals International Brotherhood with whom they only managed a tie the year before. A brilliant performance by right winger Steve Swedenburg from Korea sparked the Tigers to a 5-3 win. The soccer team then went to Hot Springs for the annual Ok- toberfest Tournament. Larry Red- mon from Costa Rica, the major threat of the offense, led all scoring with three goals. Vince Everhart, the ‘Pharaoh’ of the defense, scored a beautiful long range shot, his first at OBU. The final score was 9-1. Number two rated Westside YMCA Soccer club was OBU’s toughest game of the year. But the Tigers rose to the occasion with an inspired 5-2 victory. Jim Crawford scored three while the other half of the one-two punch, Redmon, scored the other two. With all of the toughest games over, the team could breath easier, but the year was not over. UALR bee as PRACTICES ON DANIEL field pre- pared the team for spring games against Southern Methodist Univer- sity, Texas Christian University, and Northeast Louisiana State. was the next obstacle. Fancy foot- work by Mike Deloach, from Argen- tina, eluded the UALR goalkeeper to clinch the 7-2 win for O BU, after Carlos Ichter, from Rio de Janeiro scored his pair of goals. The final game in the league was against the North Little Rock Soccer Club. A victory would assure the team a first place for one more year. Despite falling behind 1-0, the team came back with their only double digit victory of the year. The final score was 10-2, five goals by Craw- ford, a career high. With another title under their belt _ the soccer team wanted to win their version of the Arkadelphia battle between OBU and Henderson State. Solid defense by Tony Wil- liams from Searcy held the rivals from across the street to two goals. Throughout the year his steady play kept OBU from suffering many more goals. Senior Bob Mills also contributed to the excellent defen- sive performance. The season came to a close with the annual game against the OBU alumni. Don Willis, the soccer club’s president had a good 90 minutes performance helping to dominate the alumni’s defense. Larry Redmon scored all four of the goals for the soccer team and later said, ‘As far as talent is concerned this is the best team we played all year. We were just in better shape than they were and had better teamwork.” This game was more than just a game annually, it was SOPHOMORE NOLAN - BUEN- CONSEJO (left), blocks a kick at mid-field. The soccer team had a 9-1-1 overall record for the fall semes- ter. year also a reunion with old teammates, and was considered by some, the highlight of the year. The spring semester was not a usual semester for the team. They had a chance to really show their talent by playing such teams as SMU, TCU, Southwestern Baptist Seminary, and eighth ranked Northeast Louisiana State. In that semester they proved that if given a chance they can go places in soccer most anywhere in America. Though soccer may have the smallest following at Ouachita, the team says they are proud to have the most faithful. And soccer fans were growing by the day. But de- spite this small following the team continued to dominate soccer in Arkansas year after year, all for the fellowship, the teamwork, and the love for the most popular sport in the world, soccer.

Fans had that gut feeling that their team may bea contender but they just weren’t sure. It was that kind of a feeling one gets when you buy a used car. For the players, they felt they had potential. In non-conference play the Tigers played consistent and won the Dallas Baptist College Classic. “We played real well early in the year,’ said guard Randall Dickey, “everything seemed balanced.”’ But just as soon as everything seemed _ stable, center Chris Reynolds went down with an injury. Soon afterwards reserve center Craig Bennett and forward Tyler Trumbo went down with injuries. Fans thought their flashy new team had turned into a lemon. Being head coach for 17 years, Coach Bill Vining knew alternations were needed to keep the Tigers from souring. Roy Allen went to center and Dickey came in as guard. The combination worked as the team and fans caught fire in the AIC race. The Tigers raced to the top of | the league with three quick wins 7} over the University of Central Ar- | kansas, Arkansas Tech and Arkan- 1) sas College by scores of 82-62, | 78-65, and 55-49, respectively. +) Team unity also pulled the Tigers q together for the wins. _) “About three days after ') Reynolds was hurt the team ; { ON AND OFF THE BENCH the team was one unit.

BIG TERRY WOODS taunted Hen- drix’s inside game with his quick power moves. Woods had 12 points in the game and had four assists. OBU won 66-55. The first half of the season ended on a high note with a double overtime win over the College of the Ozarks, 64-62. Tyler Trumbo hit the winning shot, but Johnny Baxter was the star with 22 points, three rebounds, three steals and three assists. At 5-4 in midseason the Tigers still felt confident about AIC play. But the pendulum swung back away from the Tigers. The three teams that they hardly defeated at the start of the season handed the Tigers three straight losses. UCA won by two, Arkansas Tech by four, and Arkansas College by six. Pressure for a playoff spot built with the team slipping to 5-7. But again team unity pulled the players together as different stars pulled the slack in each game.

Scoreboard Overall record: 16-13 AIC record: 10-8 (Bold face indicates conference games.) Tigers faced the Reddies for the third time. And for the third time the Reddies knocked the Tigers off 61-52. Henderson went on to win the District 17. In the AIC, Ouachita led the league in free throws percentage with a 79 percent average. Allen was high scorer for the team with 364 points. Woods and Baxter fol- lowed with 346 and 300 respec- tively. Trevor Lavy led the team in assists with 109. The AIC race and the year ended and the fans as well as the team were pleased with the Tigers com- petitive team spirit. Although they faced major problems in a tough league, the Tigers never quit com- peting and their efforts paid off. “Teamwork,” said Dickey, “‘was che key; Vfl Southern Ark.

Basketball 259 | 260 Sports For sports enthusiasts, the Ouachita region offered a variety of athletic areas POOL, PING-PONG, VIDEO GAMES, AND BOWLING kept many students in the game room for sports. Two intelevision games were bought in the fall with cartridges for baseball, basketball, and football. THE DORMS OFFERED STUDENTS a wide variety of sports, depending upon the imagination. One of the more common sports, though, was card playing. West dorm, east side, second floor became a common place for card games. An endless playground by Tim Wooldridge t's the same old story, but with a new twist. The story goes, for college students, when work was over, play time began. And for most students, playtime was in the form of sports. After a long day of lectures, note taking, and studying, students set- tled back and took part in “‘people sports.” For some students, the SUB game room was the ideal place to be for sports. The SUB offered games from ping-pong, to pool, to bowling, and also offered tourna- ments on some weekends. “| like ping-pong because you can play it anytime of the day,” said Mike Treadway, “and even though they raised the prices, it’s still inex- pensive.” For others, outdoors was the per- fect playground. The Ouachita area offered students a place for all kinds of sports buffs. “The DeGray Lake area is my favorite place for sports,”’ said Brad Turner. ‘I can do almost anything out there: ski, swim, fish, float, jog, or just throw frisbees.”’ And we can’t forget the inside sports like basketball, weightlifting, raquetball, or card playing in the dorms. Tim Knight, a sophomore, ex- plains the variety of dorm sports, “Card playing is something to do to relax, but it’s surprising how many sports you can play in a dorm: friseee football, nurf basketball, baseball, or almost anything.” “T played basketball in high school,” said Kevin Frierson, “‘and I keep playing here to keep in shape for baseball. It gets to be a problem though in trying to get a court when Henderson students come over to Walton Gym.” The new twist of the story comes in a new type of sport — video games. Although non-physical (at times) the sporters of video games AS AN INCENTIVE TO BOWLING, the game room offered “Pin night.” Free prizes were given to students who made a strike when a colored pin was showing. scramble through mazes, destroy invading aliens, sink ships and blast rocks. In the fall of the year, the game room rented four video machines and purchased two _intellevision games. Hooked up to the televi- sion, the game offer baseball, bas- ff ketball and football — your choice. But the big story is with video games. Like a fever the coin oper- ated machines dazzled the nation into Arcades with their pockets full of tokens. The biggest fever came with the game ‘“‘Pac Man.” “It took eight dollars for me to } learn to play ‘Pac Man’ the first | day,” said Curtis Ritchie. then on I spent as much as five dol- “From | lars a week playing.

A walk downtown or across the highway proved such a relationship was possible and even beneficial. There were diverse areas of involve- ment — enjoying the JEC sponsored “The Nutcracker,”’ going early to church for choir practice, practice teaching or going out for a movie and pizza. And when Friday and Saturday night rolled around, the night life was only an hour away. Still another predictable part of most any week — another Sunday night an- other coupon.

Although BSU supports many on-campus programs, it also stresses student involvement in the community through such programs as Big Brothers and Sisters, Adopt-A-Grandparent, Nursing Home and Children’s Colony ministries, Backyard Bible Clubs and Weath- erization. It particularly emphasizes active membership in local churches. Students are given the opportunity to serve in many aspects of ministry — pastors, music and youth direc- tors, mission organization teachers. Some churches not only offer a place to serve, but even provide transporta- tion to the building. The churches organize special. activities, Adopt-A-Student programs and sometimes even meals on Sunday evening. Jerry Francis, a deacon of Parkhill Baptist Church said, ““The college students are very important mem- bers of any church. Their contribution to the fellowship can be expressed in many ways including participation in worship experiences, sharing knowledge gained from college teaching and sharing youth and enthusi- asm most possess.” Students also add their own special style of specialized teaching in several areas. Early Childhood Education major Ruth Beaudry said, “‘By observing and student teaching in the class- room, | think we are able most of the time to help teachers. Also, it gives us an opportunity to decide what kind of teachers we would like to be.”’ Art major Donna Panaganang said, “I taught basic art including lessons in perspective to one boy in the community. | really enjoyed it.

Tom Walker was the representative. All photographs were taken by staff photogra- phers and printed in the photo lab. Approxi- mately 34,600 frames of black and white film were shot. Color pictures in the opening were taken by Ouachitonian photographers using in- ternegatives processed by Mizell Photography Corporation of Dallas, Texas and two and a quarter film. James Burge Photography, Inc., of North Little Rock printed the color and was also responsible for taking the people section por- traits. 296 Editor’s Page s I sit in my rolling chair behind my desk, engulfed in the mounds of fin- ished pages to be checked, copy to be proofed and layouts to be finalized, I won’t hesi- tate to say that the end has been a long time coming. (Especially since we were only halfway through three weeks before final deadline.) But despite it all — the endless questions, the pageant hassels and unmet deadlines — it has been fun to watch the design grow. “The Living Design”’ idea was born at 3 a.m. in Ohio at the workshop last summer. Tim, Mark and I cele- brated with grapes and chocolate chip cookies in our borrowed car pointed toward Arkansas. It finally grew, ever so slowly, into a ladder, stories and pictures, alogo and 304 hard earned pages. I also won't hesitate to say that the Lord Jesus Christ is to deserve the credit. He is the ultimate designer who makes even life possible. My family — what else can I say but thanks for your love and confidence. Your support can even be felt long distance. There will never be any way to tell you how much you mean to me. My roommates and close friends deserve a round of applause for four years of listening to me gripe about things. And even though you couldn’t do anything about it, you let me get it out of my system. You took me to McDonald’s on deadline nights or skipped rocks with me at DeGray. Thanks for understanding. And thank goodness there was something other than the Ouachitonian. The Baptist Stu- dent Union gave me a place to grow, test my leadership skills and meet people. And through summer missions, it even showed me my direc- tion in life. Mrs. Gorman, thanks for showing me talents that I didn’t know | had during Creative Writing and Journalism I at Watson Chapel High School. It has made a big difference.

Spot color was selected from the Pantone Series. The logo was developed by the staff, using souvenir bold and murray hill bold typefaces. Finished artwork on the cover was the work of Angie Gill. Headline typestyles were handset using Chartpak lettering. The faces included: Student Life — Avant Garde Medium; Academics — Palatino Bold; People — Optima; Organizations — Korinna Bold; Sports — Folio Bold; Theme material — Souvenir Outline. Body copy was set in nine point souvenir light and captions in eight point souvenir medium. Fourteen point souvenir medium was used for subheads and kickers. Fourteen point souvenir writer. The rest, four yearbooks later, is history. And who else can you depend on to know all the answers (or knows who to ask with the an- swers) but the one and only Mac Sisson? You’ve been great. My staff. It’s strange how people with the common interest in 304 pages made you worry about how they did on tests, if their cold was better and who they were going out with. In other words, it made you a family. I can’t begin to thank you individually enough for your “mega” hours spent behind dummy sheets, croppers and typewriters in luxurious Flenniken 205, But if it weren’t for Wendy’s “stick-to-ive-ness,’ Tammy’s endurance, De- na’s unique ideas, Mark’s creativeness and ex- perience, Nickol’s professionalism, Matt’s or- ganization and Tim’s talents, the theme would have been changed to “The year that wasn’t.” And Ill never get over the shock from all the people who came in second semester and said, “| want to be on practicum.” You helped make everything come together. I know it’s been a challenge sitting in the office trying to think of captions staring at orange desks and stained yellow carpet. You’ve had to put up with people whose only question about the yearbook they could ask was, “‘Are we getting them back on time?” But you survived. And | appreciate yqu “‘pooh-pooh gobs.” And to my Parkhill church family, the crazy photographers next door and even to the Signal piglets, thanks. Now Tim, it’s your turn and I promise that it won't be easy. But you can handle it n.p. It will always amaze me how it all miraculously came together and became “The Living De- sign.” = DeAnna Travis Editor Deb Williams Sherri Coston Kim Ashcraft Judy Waite Jeff Root Rex Nelson Rusty Breshears Susan Pitts Vicky Taylor Damona Robbins Dr. William D.
