We ' re BAC We ' re Leadership — the quality of commanding others. This commanding quality aptly de- scribes the administration of Belmont Abbey College. Year after year, the administration directs the school activities under the guid- ance of Dr. John Dempsey. The academic dis- tinction of Belmont Abbey College is the prod- uct of it ' s superior and dedicated faculty. With the added factor of having the availability of smaller classes, teachers at the Abbey are in direct contact with their students. This highly personal touch gives the Abbey faculty the reputation of being in charge. From the admin- istration, teachers, and clergy come the back- bone of Belmont Abbey College. Year after year, the faculty awaits the new expereinces their life at the Abbey will bring, and although the students come and go, our faculty is here to stay. Any teacher will tell you, with high expectations of 1985, that they are working their hardest to make it better than ever. Dr. John Dempsey participates in many of the college activities. Here, he partakes in a performance before a play. Winter student sniffles s wait p are quite popular in the Abbey. Here, nurse Gail Gribble is in charge as atiently for her service. Interacting and coping with people are all part of the Abbey life. Angle Wheeler, head of the counciling department, takes charge and does it well!

Fraternities, along with their little sister- hoods, are indeed a tradition. This tradition began in 1776, on the campus of William and Mary college. To- day, there are over 100 fraternities and sororities throughout the United States. The Abbey is the home of four major fraternities and five sisterhoods including: Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Kappa Theta, Alpha Parties and big bashes are part of the Greek tradition . Here. Jim Carlough and Ellen Gannon go out in full force for the Sig Ep Halloween party. Phi Omega, and Lambda Xi. They all pride themselves with secrecy and unity and their goals are not only of personal and social development, but also that of spiri- tual and intellectual growth. That is what Greeks are all about, here in the Abbey. They are instilled with old traditions, yet thrive on new ideas and, in 1985, they worked together to be better than ever.
