u It MURMaRMONTIS WEST VIRGINIA WESLEY AN COLLEGE VOLUME 74 1984 ADVISORS: ARMINTA BALDWIN DEAN RUHLOW EDITORS TERI VELICOFF KIMBERLY KENNEDY Unique Perspectives During the short time that most students spend on a campus, many strange and unusual events come to pass . . . unnoticed. The follow- ing pages capture one such oddity. Whether the following account is factual or ficticious is for the reader to decide . . . My name is Wilhelm Von Camp Wesley. A short while ago I was coming back from my morning habit of watching Dr. Latimer drink his coffee at the breakfast table when 1 was abducted by three nasty humans who called themselves the Murmurmontis. I am a hobbit by birth, so naturally I am not ac- customed to meeting humans. 1 real- ly should not have been in sight, but it was such a beautiful day — well, that ' s another story . . . Well, there 1 was, in a rather comprimising situa- tion. I did not want to be turned into the biology department for their museum, so 1 decided to journalize for a while, so that they would let me go free. 2 Diversions My credentials? 1 would have to say that my age is my best credential. I am 94 years old, so I have been around. 1 have lived here all of my life and i have seen what really goes on around here. What I have not seen, Turnstyle has. Turnstyle? . . . Oh! he is my pet gremlin. You may have met him at one time or another and never realized it. Did you ever break your key off in your lock? Well, that was probably Turnstyle, he likes to take naps in the key holes. It is a combination of bad habits, he likes to nap in key holes, but even worse is that WVWC metal is his favorite snack. It is not that the college makes keys that break easily, it is that they taste great. Turnstyle also has a favorite prank. Did you ever look up at the chapel clock and wonder what time it really was? Turnstyle likes to play games in the tower, sometimes he jumps around on the hands of the clock. Remember being late for class? It was all thanks to that gremlin. Where was I? Oh, my age. Even though I seem very old to you, I am not. You see, we hobbits live longer than humans, consequently, my mind is still very good. I live in a humble hobbit abode in- side a big hollow tree on Agnes Howard ' s front lawn. You may have seen me once or twice in the wee hours of the morning feeding the field mice, or helping one of those poor rats escape from fourth floor of Christopher. Other than that, I just try to keep Turnstyle out of trouble, and keep an eye on what ' s happening on campus. Diversions 3 Diversions Speaking of running around and flitting about, think of all of the things that you should have been doing over the past semesters, that you never quite completed. Humans have a tendency to recreate as often as possible. Just the other day, Tumstyle almost got squashed by some people running around throwing a pigskin back and forth across a grassy field with white lines on it. Some fun, huh? For the few humans who have never stepped out of their rooms I had better tell you about the wonderful opportunities which you may have overlooked. During the day, aside from what you are supposed to be doing — such as attending classes, there are all kinds of athletic possibilities. The gymnasium has all sorts of things to do; racquetball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, squash (not Tumstyle, please), weight lifting, and just about any other activity that the human mind could dream up. 4 Diversions « Perhaps you are not into these things, or maybe you just do not enjoy the sweat scene? Well, right next door to the gym is the SCOW. Out of ail of the buildings on campus, humans consistently choose to enter this one. Let ' s face it, the building has it all. One of the highlights is the post office, home of the often dreaded mailbox which blows dust and air into your face every time you open it, except when you get an occasional check from mom. Other attractions are watching music videos, shooting pool, killing a few aliens, or catching a bite to eat in the coffee shop. By the way, so far I have been lucky, you humans have not invented a game to kill hob- bits yet, everything but hobbits. After a long day of classes and wandering around in search of nifty things to do, you probably retire to your room to study for a few hours, right? Now when that is all over, you peak over your Intro to Humanities book and realize that it is night time — time to explore the night life of the campus and Buckhanno n. I hope that you do not get too rowdy, I am tired of cleaning bottles out of my front hall every morning. There are plenty of great things to do around here at night. With good movies, plays, bowling and the rest, there is always something to do. You could check out the sports events, sit in on a good lecture or head down to your favorite night spot. 1 have noticed that one of the most popular past times involves humans sitting around their rooms and talking or telling tales with their friends. Well, 1 am exhausted from telling you all about your campus, so 1 think I ' ll go back to my abode, sip on some brandy, and retire. Tomorrow is another day. GREEK • • • to be or not to be? Since I ' ve been rambling about tilings to do around here, I might as well discuss this matter of the frater- nity and whether or not you should join one. Well, let me clarify myself first, even we hobbits know what one is, and no it ' s not some ward in the hospital full of babies, that ' s maternity, we ' re talking brotherhood here, not motherhood! Now that that has been cleared up, what is this phenomenon? Well it takes a little less than a semester to join one, a long time to you maybe, not to a man of my stature (a hobbit joke). Before you at- tempt to join or rush, as it ' s referred to, make a good stab at getting to know some of the humans in the group. It will give you a much better idea of what you are getting involved with. Once you are accepted by the brotherhood of your choice, you will develop a true sense of belonging as well as create some of the best friendships you ' ll probably have for the rest of your lifetime. If you can deal with what has so far been mentioned then by all means; GO GREEK GO!!! otherwise remember that the other side of the coin is always there. V jflBMn WHH IHEm S [VK J I B l k iiirji 9 6 Diversions If you enjoy the freedom of being your own person or would rather not be considered a representative of such an organization then staying independent or separate from a fraternity is most definitely for you. Though you may be missing the element of that high- tech fraternity shirt, just think of all of the other things you ' ll be missing as well. That monthly payment of dues. All of those fun and informative (long) business meetings. Oh, and let ' s not forget all of the raffle tickets you won ' t have to sell. Other than greek fraternities there are many other organizations to join: Residence Hall Council, campus government, a variety of clubs, the Pharos newspaper, and of course those nasty people at the Murmurmontis. Remember, if you don ' t really want to get involved in the fraternity scene and would not like a big old greek Titan looking over your shoulder, then don ' t worry, there are just as many opportunities out there whether you are greek or not. GO INDEPENDENTS GO!!! Diversions 7 THE DREADED LOFT BBBBZZZZ . . . (That ' s the alarm clock) . . . Slam!! . . . (That ' s your head hitting the ceiling . . . Whoaa! . . . Splat!. . . Now you ' re on your back staring up at the ceiling that made the lump that ' s now on the back of your head, and looking at the loft that three seconds ago was your cozy bed. Ah yes, that saga of the loft. It has a long and interesting history. I think that it probably all started with the tremendous lack of floor space in the residence halls. Not that I ' m complaining about the rooms, they ' re swell for hobbits. But there isn ' t all that much space for you humans. Anyway the loft, it is truly a magnificent work of genious. They ' re easy to build, if you know the right places to acquire the wood. The simplest ones are made of a frame with four legs for support and a spring frame from one ' s own bed. Most of the human ' s lofts that 1 have seen have either a couch or shelving underneath. I must say that I really enjoy watching you getting, excuse me, falling out of them in the morn- ing before class. It really must get your system going. Another great asset of a loft over just the regular bed arrangement on the floor is the nifty and inventive ways humans create to make your beds! I have seen some humans throw their matresses on the floor, make it, and then put it back up in the loft. Most shortly discover that the true reason for the loft is that no one can see the beds, whether they are made or not!! 8 Diversions Diversions 9 R E S I D E N H A L L S Yes, the residence hall, most typical students know them well. The atmosphere found there is like no other in this little community. The ever-present sound of stereos echoing down the hallway, the feel- ing of a cold bathroom floor in the morning, the occasional yelling of showers bouncing off the walls, and of course, the not so often scream of a person taking a shower when some half-crazed student forgets to yell showers. Flushing the commode in the residence halls must give humans an incredible sense of power. Knowing that you may scald half of the cam- pus, if you remain silent. Why do you think that Turnstyle steals the shower heads? 1 guess that he has been burnt too many times. Of course, there is more to a residence hall than plumbing. It is a place to study, a place to read, and a place to cultivate lasting relation- ships. And above all, a place to relax and break the monotony of classes. 10 Diversions APARTMENT LIFE There are two choices of lifestyles on campus: liv- ing in the residence hall or the supposed better side of life, the apartment. In an apartment setting, the sur- roundings are more like home. The similarity arises in cooking meals for yourself when you want to eat, grocery shopping, cleaning the bathroom, and even paying your own utility bills each month. Life in an apartment is not all cooking and cleaning. The advantage which I can see as most prevalent is that of not having any visitation hours, except those that are set among roommates. Social gather- ings in the apartments are also fairly comfortable; fit- ting 30 humans into a residence hall room is not an easy task. Yet another advantage is that there are not any Resident Assistants roaming around. I must stop occasionally in amazement at these human advan- tages — we hobbits enjoy our sleep. One of the most inconvenient aspects is the wait, which occurs in the morning when five people have to get ready for their first class. The wait is not as bad as being last and finding the water cold. Aside from dirty dishes in the morning, the rest is peaches and cream . . . well almost. Diversions STRANGE GAMES? Do you know that the worse thing that could happen to a hobbit is? Discovering a bunch of humans roll- ing dice, laughing and carrying on while pretending to be elves and hobbits of all things. How degrading. Of course they were only playing a game called Dungeons and Dragons. We really should clarify something here, hobbits do exist and elves, well some of my best friends are elves. To the subject at hand. Dungeons and Dragons is one of the more off- beat games played around here. Mainly because it is so different than any other game normally played. It has no board, but it does have fairly strict rules and regulations. D D is known as a role-playing game because characters are acted out by the participants. Dice are used to determine just about everything in the game, but the most interesting facet of D D is that almost anything that occurs in real life can be played out, and then some. Dungeons and Dragons is just one of the many games commonly played. Other favorites include Risk, a board game in which players con- trol armies and, well, they take over the world; card games; one of the more popular games. Backgammon; and for the more intellectual, like myself. Chess. There are many others of course, but they all serve the same purpose, to break the monotony of class and the bordeom of just staring at the wall. Ahh, escapism. My personal favorite is the movies, but I always seem to get sat on. 12 Diversions Diversions 13 DIVERSIONS Well, I hope that I have been able to give you a better understanding of what it is really like here. If you are three feet tall, that is. It is obvious that there is more than enough to do around campus. Class and studies naturally take up a lot of time during the day, but in between, as 1 have tried to show you, you have to work hard at get- ting bored. The top of the SCOW, the gym, the library, the residence halls, and the apartments all have something different to offer. Even if you need a little time away from friends and pressures of everyday life, the college has something for you. The meditation chapel is a great place to be quiet, worship, or like the name says: meditate. Let ' s face it, Wesleyan may be a small out-oftheway school, but it sure seems to have everything. What can I say? I guess that I am proud to be the only hobbit lucky enough to be associated with this fair place. Thank you for letting me take you on a tour of my home and remember, stay calm in the mind and body, and your life will be long, prosporous and very rewarding. What a better way to start such a life, than here. Adieu — say good-bye, Turnstyle. 14 Diversions 1 Diversions 15 f 16 ' i Wy . mi fc •  ■ ■Ji ■ ' . -t : 17 aiming Those Butterflies We know that everyone has a bad case of the butterflies. Our hope, by the end of orientation is not that the but- terflies have disappeared but that they are flying in formation, explained orientation director Judy Siewart at a General Assembly on August 28. All those involved in orientation did everything they could to help make the move easier from the very beginning. On Saturday, August 27, Freshman Orientation Leaders carried refrig- erators, luggage and stuffed animals to rooms making the move easier for parents. Resident Assistants escorted freshmen and their parents to their rooms, helping them get acquainted with their new surroundings. This was only the first scene in many to come during orientation. The helpfulness and kin dness shown by many made the transition easier for the new students. The theme that pervad- ed the week, If you don ' t know — ASK! , letting the freshmen know that they weren ' t expected to know everything and that it was okay to have questions. On Saturday evening, most attended the Parent-Student Convocation. There they were introduced to important per- sons on campus such as Dr. Dallas Bailey, Dean of Students, senior Greg Burnell, president of Community Council and Dr. Hugh Latimer, Presi- dent of the College. Here they also received their first introduction to the Alma Mater of the Mountains directed by Dr. Larry Parsons and aided by members of Concert Chorale. After this, freshmen were con- sidered a vital part of the community. But the process of making them feel at home didn ' t end there. Students con- tinued to meet with their CORE groups and discussed common problems. The new students began to feel comfort- able making the break from home because of the orientation program. — by Amy Mock Enjoying orientation, freshman Joe Wood ring eats a picnic lunch on Jenkins lawn.

Explaining capping, senior Thom Smith tells of the sacredness of the ceremony. - (Q ongratulations for a Cap The day finally arrived. She had hardly slept the night before in an- ticipation of the event. She got up early to prepare for family and friends that would soon fill her dorm room. A knock on her door signaled the arrival of the delivery boy from the florist with roses of congratula- tions from her parents. This unusual Saturday morning started similarly for sophomore nurs- ing students on October 1. They were receiving their caps that even- ing, showing their ability to enter a hospital and do their clinical work. Once they finished many of their general requirements, as well as the basic sciences needed for freshmen nursing students, they were invited to become part of the traditional fall ceremony. As each students name was called, they stepped forward to have their cap pinned on. In the mean- time, someone was asked to read a few special quotes as well as thank- yous to parents and loved ones. The tears, nervousness and excite- ment were all part of that evening ' s memory. Each nursing student then knew that they had the confident support of faculty, family and friends as they entered the hospital to beg in actually living what each had chosen as a career. by Amy Mock Traditions 19 Ready to announce the members of the Homecoming Court, seniors Randy Brown and Scott Zuffelato check their notes.

Along with this came a feeling of excitement as Homecoming festivities began. Weeks of planning turned into a weekend of enjoyment for students and alumni. The spirit came alive with the an- nouncement of the 1983 theme, The Muppets Rainbow Connection With Wesieyn and Friends. Organizations were assigned Muppet characters to portray on their floats and the top secret planning began. One of the first activities was held on Friday October 7, in Wesley Chapel. The Founders Day Convoca- tion, honoring alumni who devoted their lives to fulltime Christian voca- tions, kicked off festivities at 1 1 :00. it was a time for alumni to honor the school, as well as to be honored. Ross and Olive Culpepper gave a replica of the Cokesbury College Bell as a gift in memory of their parents during the ceremony. Two men received honorary degrees at this time. Mr. Robert Scott Foltz, president of Goodwill In- dustries in Pittsburgh, received a Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Mr. Richard Lee Wright, senior pastor at Bridgeport United Methodist Church, received a Doctor of Divinity degree. The final award presentation was the Founders Award. Begun in 1965, the award is presented to distin- guished leaders in a variety of fields. This year ' s recipient was Dale E. Turner, retired pastor and Seattle Citizen of the Year for 1983. Dr. Turner also delivered the sermon en- titled What the World Needs Now. At 6:30, ceremonies began for the queen ' s coronation. The sisters of Sigma Alpha lota set the mood for the evening by performing The Rainbow Connection. The Masters of Ceremony, seniors Randy Brown and Scott Zurrelato, introduced the twelve members of the Freshman Honor Court. The class attendants and five members of the court were then escorted forward. The tense, nervousness of the evening was over upon the an- nouncement of Mindy Forman ' s election as Homecoming Queen. The sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta came to their feet and surrounded the new queen, serenading her with Follow Me. ikl, Atop the Freshman Class float, members of the Homecoming Court ride In the parade.

A reception followed in Benedum Lounge, Comedian Steve Landesburg entertained in the Social Hall for who wa ited to hear the former Barney Miller star. But, for many, Friday was to be a long evening that began right after coronation ceremonies and lasted into the wee hours of Saturday morning, as they tried to complete their floats. Some grabbed a few hours of sleep, only to rise and put the finishing touches on the float before the 10:00 parade. Following the parade, many opted for shirts and tshirts to catch a few rays during the unseasonably Freshman Honor Court members include: Lauren Coleman, Jannette McCauley, Lynn Schaper, Mary Beatty, Lisa McLeister, Amy Carlough, Amy Mock, Kari Parsons, Melissa Smith and Homecoming Queen Mindy Forman. warm afternoon. They enjoyed a pic- nic on Jekins lawn, before heading to the football game. The climax of the weekend, students cheered on the Bobcats during the slow-moving football game against W.V. Tech. But the loss didn ' t dampen the spirits of students and alumni as they wit- nessed one of the final events of Homecoming. During the evening, Lionel Hampton and his orchestra entertained those who weren ' t too exhausted from the activities. As the festivities wound down, Homecoming became just a memory to those who experienced it. The floats were taken apart and the satin gowns were put in the closet as a reminder of all that had happened. by Amy Mock 22 Traditions On a fine fall day, President Hugh A.

( hristmas Celebration The air turned cold and the first few flurries began to float from the sky. Thoughts turned to bright lights, candy canes and reindeer. As the Christmas spirit hit campus, plans were made for students to celebrate before going home. The traditional Festival of Lessons and Carols was celebrated on Sunday December 4, but the real preparation began on Friday. Approximately 40 people par- ticipated in the Hanging of the Greens festivities, sponsored by Christian Life Council. Everyone gathered in Kresge Hall to make the garlands that would decorate the Chapel during the Christmas festivities. The legend of the Christmas tree comes to life in the explanation by sophomore Jim Hawk. Reaching to put the garland in place, these three participants finish a long evening. Helping make the greens was special for me. I ' ve never done anything like that before and it made the ceremony much more special for me, explained freshman Nancy Henderson. Exhausted and covered in pine tar, the group went back to their rooms to rest, before getting up ear- ly the next morning to finish hanging the greens. Finally, all was prepared for Sunday evening ' s festivities. The Festival of Lessons and Carols officially began the Christmas festivities. Various people delivered the 12 lessons, including Dr. Kathryn Gregg, Dean Dallas Bailey, Greg Burnell 24 Traditions Looking out on candlelight, the campus waits for Christmas celebrations to official- ly begin with the lighting of the Christmas tree.

The Concert Chorale members led the singing during the evening. I was so glad that I went. It made me take time out of a hectic schedule to think about the true meaning of Christmas, said freshman Jan McCauley. There was an extra special sur- prise waiting for those who attended. They were witness to the filming of the event for statewide showing. During the Christmas holidays, it was shown on various stations at Wesleyan ' s Christmas present to the state. After the service, the congrega- tion filed outside to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree. With candles tie, everyone sang Silent Might, bringing the Christmas celebration to a close. A reception was held in the SCOW, to let everyone continue celebrating. Refreshments were served as people chatted around the large Christmas tree in the center of the Social Hall. Others gathered around a roaring fire and sang Christmas carols. Music, warmth and laughter filled tired academic minds. The spirit of love was renewed in the mind hearts of students. The real meaning of Christmas was impressed upon those who attended. Waiting for the lighting of the Christmas tree, these members of the congregation sing Silent Might. 26 Traditions Ready for the service, the Chapel, fully decorated, and the congregation await the beginning of The Festival of Lessons and Carols.

Traditions 27 s pring Sing Remembers ' Those Oldies But Goodies The Special Activities Committee of Community Council chose Those Oldies But Goodies as the 1984 Spring Sing theme. The highlight of the eve- ning was the coronation of the Spring Sing Queen. Senior candidates for the ti- tle were Karen Bourner. Eileen Doughtery, Terri Elam, Sandra MacGregor, and Missy McCloskey. San dra MacGregor was crowned queen and was accompanied by junior attendant, Beth Giammario, sophomore attendant, Karen Martin, and freshmen attendant. Amy Carlough. Kim Hall, 1983 Spring Sing Queen, was also present to lend a hand in the ceremony. Following the ceremony, Sandra was serenaded by all the groups which were being judged for their performances. 28 Traditions R xP These groups included not only fraternities and sororities but also independent groups. Capturing first place in the women ' s contest were the sisters of ALPHA XI DELTA, while THETA XI won top honors in the men ' s division.

Second place honors went to the Women ' s Independent Group and Phi Sigma Epsilon. Ruth Wygal led the In- dependents through a variety of the Carpenter ' s songs. Ruth also won the title of Best Director in the women ' s division. Phi Sigma Epsilon sang a variety of 1960 songs to take the second place title. Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Theta Epsilon took third place honors, leaving Alpha Delta Pi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Alpha, Chi Phi, and Theta Chi out of the running. Peter Lindberg of Sigma Theta Epsilon won the title for Best Director in the men ' s division.

The worship service was conducted by Dean Wood, Father Rooney and members of the senior class. Reverend Heather Elkins, member of the Board of Trustees and elder in the West Virginia Annual Conference delivered the message. Her sermon dealt with stress which everyone undergoes throughout life. Her illustration of plop, plop, fizz, fizz of the famous Alka-Seltzer commercial aided her with her message. 30 Traditions A Pin Is the Prize! The senior nursing students received tlieir nursing pins in a special ceremony held Saturday, May 12 in Wesley Chapel. Traditionally this event is held as the climax of the nurses ' studies. Their pin represents far more than mere academic achievement. Tradition 31 T he Whirlwind of Commencement Day The Class of ' 84 gathered early Sun- day morning on the Senior Walk. Few students knew that the walk in front of the Ad. building was designated as senior walk before Mr. Ross in formed them. Led by faculty and ad ministrators, the procession began The familiar tune Pomp and Cir cumstance could be heard from out side Rockefeller Gym as the seniors eagerly awaited the awarding degrees. Father Theodore Hesburgh, Presi- dent of the University of Motre Dame, delivered the commencement address. The message dealt with keys to suc- cessfully living a meaningful life. Following the address the seniors received their degrees with all of the rights and privileges which appertain thereto. Dr. Welliver distributed diplomas, and President Latimer con- firmed the degrees. Teri Velicoff, Presi- dent of the Class of ' 84, presented the senior class gift, a check for $1500 to be used for the production of the Freshmen Record. Honorary degrees were awarded to Father Hesburgh and James R. Thomas II. Dr. Thomas had served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Wesleyan since 1980. The recession led the students out of the gym and into the reality of their having graduated. Graduates searched the lawn to find friends and family. Many tears wre shed as good-bys were shared, cars were packed and Wesleyan was bid a fond farewell. 32 Traditions Traditions 33 1 it F L I pACGLTY AND ADMINISTRATION 35 PRESIDENT HUGH A.

And at Wesleyan this is no exception. Students find many ac- tivities on campus. Movies every weekend; entertain- ment that varies from comedians to concerts to plays; the SCOW is full of activities from which to choose. On those warm fall and spring days, students find many things to fill their time with outside in the quad, oval, or the practice field. But even with all these activities, students still find time to study. You can always find those studious people in the study room in the SCOW, in the library, or sitting outside on the chapel steps or on the wall around the Quad.

The freshmen knew no one and the upperclassmen had lost touch with friends but this soon changed at the orientation picnic. Time was spent discussing summer vacations and jobs. Parents were able to see the campus and to meet faculty members, students and other parents. Many new faces were seen in both the students and faculty.

First was the move into the dorm. Even the most organized student inevitably left an Important item at home. After that task was com- pleted, buying books became the next mountain to climb. The fight with the mobs in the bookstore as well as those at the used book bulletin board were typical concerns of students. With newly purchased books in his arms, the student headed for his first classes. Although freshmen usually have the most trouble locating specific classrooms, up- perclassmen were also known to have entered a wrong room or two. Finally the excitement subsided as the newness of the situation wore off and students settled into the everyday life of a college student. Resolutions for better study habits were made and finishing touches added to room as students settled in for another year. — by Sue Feather LEFT — Students mill their way through picnic crowds.

Campus Life 67 FALL PREMIERES Highlighting the beginning of first semester were many activities which were sponsored by the ever en- thusiastic Campus Activities Board. Todd Hobin Band performed in the Quad the first weekend after classes began. An appearance by Ken Weber amazed the au- dience as he presented The Magic of the Mind. In his command performance, Weber demonstrated mind reading and hypnosis. His performance was well remembered by the audience, but not so well by his hyp- notic participants. On a mild day, later in September, Sugarcreek rocked in the library parking lot during their open-air concert.

Entertainment 69 October was a full month of entertainment. Steve Landesburg, better known as Sgt. Dietrick in Barney Miller, led the entertainment for the homecoming weekend in the gym. His jokes ranged from religious to life in a small town. Homecoming weekend continued with an appearance by Lionel Hampton and his or- chestra. An audience in Wesley Chapel was delighted by his jazz. Later in the month, the ever popular Quarterflash entertained for a full audience in the gym. Students lined up at the door as early as two hours in advance to see and hear their Take Another Picture tour of ' 84. October ' s entertainment included: RIGHT — The exciting Lionel Hampton.

In a SCOW filled with people over 12 groups and individuals performed. Most of the perfor- mances were music-oriented. There were several dif- ferent bands. One of the favorite bands consisted of students playing such items as trashcans, lamps, jars and various other music-making objects found around a dorm room. Many individuals also performed playing guitars or pianos. The audience enjoyed watching their fellow students display some of their talent.

THE MALE BEAUTY PAGEANT A favorite J-term activity (at least for tfie girls on cam- pus) was the male beauty pageant. Eleven contestants competed to be crowned winner of the pageant in the top of the SCOW. These male beauties had to display formal and swim wear attire. Personality was also a qualifying factor. Each guy had to answer a question asked by one of the two announcers. The final event was talent in which such activities as singing, dancing or musical instrument playing were displayed, in the end, the judges named Jeff Smaliwood as the best-looking male on campus.

The social hall was filled with students and parents of the children. The game was enjoyed by all who went. Another enjoyable event was the Airband Competi- tion. Several groups participated in this third annual event to see who could imitate a real band the best. Such bands as Van Halen, (J2, Def Leppard, and Duran Duran were portrayed.

Diversions 79 LIFE ON CAMPUS . can never be referred to as dull or ordinary. On nice, sunny days the majority of the campus may be found somewhere outside. A favorite place to just sit is on the wall in the quad or the Chapel steps. You can also find people throwing a frisbee or football in the oval. However, when the days are not good for outside events, the SCOW becomes the center of activity. Video game fanatics crowd around their favorite machine and the never-ending bells and beeps can be heard throughout the first floor of the SCOW. But for those who prefer the more traditional types of entertainment, pool is often a favorite.

You can also find many students relaxing in the top of the SCOW with a coke and a hamburger. For the more athletic student, the gym is often a hang-out. Students can be found running around the green room, lifting weights or shooting some baskets in the gym. Holidays are a bizarre time for the campus. Strange-looking people were found in Theta Xi ' s haunted house, and there was much celebrating during the Christmas season. You can always find something to do on the campus.

Led by team captains Leslie Farr and Andy Gillan the team fac- ed their most challenging schedule ever. Their opponents were tough and the team members were young, yet they capped off the season with an impressive 10-5-2 record. Defeating Liberty was the beginning of a three game win- ning streak which ended when the Bobcats tasted defeat at the hands of Penn State (Jniversity. Shaking off their loss, Wesleyan quickly bounced back and trampled both Robert Morris College and W. Va. Tech. and won the first leg of the George Mason Invitational. Although the team fought hard, two tough teams from Davis and Elkins, and West Virginia University bumped the Bobcats for losses. Wesleyan bat- tled through the remainder of the season with ties and wins. In Post-season action, the Bobcats defeated Wheeling and was then brought down by a tough Alderson-Broaddus clan. Wesleyan ' s record led them to claim sixth ranking in District 28 and fifth in the MCAA II.
