These past years have been a renaissance for Bethany with the past one being the height of our revival. It was a time when our leaders looked back in order to set goals for the future of Bethany. The physical appearance changed, academic programs were restructured, and students and administration began compiling a doctrine of principles for the school. A new Bethany? No, not really. It ' s more like a rebirth of the old Bethany that began with Alexander Campbell and continued through men like William K. Pendleton and Perry E. Gresham. Things change at Bethany as they do everywhere else, but somehow in Bethany, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Renovations have occurred, but nothing has touched the history, traditions or atmosphere of Bethany. It is a college and a community which exist together as one apart from the rest of the world. 1984-85 was our rebirth, the year Bethany saw a revival of not only structures but also foundations. This year ' s Bethanian will take you through some of this renaissance, because sometimes you have to look back into the past to understand the present and forsee the future. TfM i ' l ' I ' - ll I L Alexander Campbell described his ideal college as one located in a country setting, detached from all external society, and amidst the forest, fields, and gardens. The college proper, as pictured above, was the answer to his dream. This original Old Main structure served Bethany from 1842 to 1857. A tragic fire broke loose in Old Main on Dec. 10, 1857 and destroyed Old Main, despite the efforts of students and town people to extinguish it. Plans for reconstruction and the acquisition of funds began immediately. By February 1858, architectural plans for a new Old Main were developed. With tribute 4 to Mr. Campbell, James L. Wilson, and William K. Pendleton, Old Main was and still is recognized as the most impressive accomplishment in the country during that era. Throughout its long life. Old Main has been through many changes. In 1879 part of Old Main, Society Hall, burned down while another. Commencement Hall, was under construction. In 1911 with the funds of Earl W. Oglebay, Oglebay Hall was built at the site of the Old Society Hall. Through time, however. Old Main began to severely depreciate; the building needed to be repaired, moisture-proofed and updated both mechanically and electrically. It was decided in the early I970 ' s that Old Main should be restored, and that phasing would be necessary to complete such a task. The first phase contained the initial plans including fund raising and the selection of a contractor. Phase II began the major labor, and Phase III was used for planning, preparing and exploring Old Main in order to achieve a practical restoration. Construction was on a medium level and the College prepared for the closing of Old Main in Phase IV. The fifth and final phase is the perfecting of Old Main which is now in process. Reconstruction is not a new word when referring to Commencement Hall. Since its construction in 1872 it has taken on three different forms. In 1890 it became a gymnasium-, then a male dorm, and in 1923, it was converted into a hall and classroom. In 1984 the Hall has been returned to its original splendor. The reconstruction of Commencement Hall is part of Phase IV of the Restoration of Old Main, along with the renovation of the parlor room on the second floor, and classrooms along the corridor — including new offices for the President and Vice President. I need to see the mountains I have to be near Old Main, these are the words of a Bethany alumna. It ' s amazing how much of our College lives at Bethany center around the walls of Old Main. The reconstruction of the past few years has made that such a reality. We sat back and watched construction workers tear apart our classrooms, our hall, and our sidewalks. We suffered through make-shift classrooms and the loud noises of the hammers and saws. But as the finishing touches are put on this building and I gaze at the large stained glass windows of Commencement Hall as the sun streams through them, I can barely remember those sounds and inconveniences. My heart almost stops . . . this is what Bethany is ail about. %n mB U 10 Old Main is the oldest colle- giate structure in West Virgin ia and on November 9, 1984. Bethany College celebrated the completion of its age-long restoration. Dr. Paul A. Miller of the Rochester Institute of Tech- nology spoke on College and Community , and several hon- orary plaques were unveiled. Bethanians present gained new insights and could better appreciate what the dedica- tion meant. On October II, 1984, Bethany dedicated the Grace Phillips Johnson Visual Arts Center, marking the first time in the history of the College that a building has been designed for visual arts instruction. The center offers students hands-on experience with computer graphics, graphic design, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and television production. The structure was originally Irvin Gymnasium and was used for women ' s intramural athletic programs. It housed both a gym and a pool. Grace Phillips Johnson, who received an honorary degree from Bethany in 1954, made this center a reality for today ' s students. For many years, Phillips has been a prominent name on campus — Phillips Hall, T.W. Phillips Memorial Library, and now the new arts center. 14 15 It has often been said that, Old Main is Bethany. These few words reflect the feelings of many Bethanians past and present. It is within the walls of Old Main that we have received our education, it is on her stairs that we sat with friends on warm fall and spring days, it is her chimes that we listened for on the hour, and it is her majestic form that welcomed us back to Bethany every time we returned and will stand strong in the years to come to greet all those who pass by. Bethany has goneTFirou rmany changes, but its basic foundations and principles will never change. Such permanence is seen when we look at Old Main. She represents the permanent imprint that Bethany has had on the hearts of many for generations and stands strong, daring anyone to conquer her. The door of Old Main swings open. Come through this door and enter into the lives of every Bethanian. Spend some time with the people who make the Bethany of today a place for tomorrow. 16 Registrar, John Giesmann Dean of Student Life, Darline Nicholson Executive Dean of Student Affairs.

Buckelew as part of the teaching staff In the Biology De- partment. Also with the department during the spring semester Is Mrs. Shaver, a guest professor, taking over Dr. Larson ' s classes while he Is on sabbatical. New equipment was added to the department this year, such as an Ap- ple computer, a chemastat, and growth chambers for botanical and ecological studies. Most of the new equipment has been for senior pro- jects which range from the ultra-fil- tration of beer to studying the ner- vous systems of marine animals. 21 Chemistry Milton Smith Jr., Robert Paysen The Chemistry Department of- fers students a thorough education in chemistry, preparing them for ca- reers in industrial, technical, and graduate areas. The Department is experiencing many changes. This year marks the beginning of a long term coal research project and addi- tion of an Apple computer to the de- partment. Senior fellow: Susan Kallquist 22 Communications James W. i arty. Pr. Harold Sliaver. Russell Look. Doug Switzer Prolessor chad Skaggs Senior fellows Carl Birk- meyer. Kathy Taylor The Bethany College Communica- tions Department is one of the largest departments on campus and continues to grow. Many new courses were add- ed this year, concentrating on Public Relations and Advertising. The depart- ment has also seen many faculty changes as it welcomed Mr. Douglas Switzer and said goodbye to Mr. Albert Chad Skaggs. New equipment will be distributed within the various specialties in the de- partment including WBVC. TV 3. and the Tower, which could make Bethany one of the best equipped schools in the area. 23 Computer Science As a new field of concentration just a couple of years old, the Com- puter Science Department is now coming into its own. After much jug- gling around for a required curricu- lum and subsequent electives, there is now a set progressive design of courses leading to a challenging Bachelor of Science degree or a pro- fessional core. Through the growth of the program, each year more stu- dents complete the program and graduate with a degree in Computer Science. Although limited in faculty members, the department has clev- erly used professors from other de- partments. Despite the heavy bur- den, Dr. Brown has given the stu- dents interesting computer classes. The department has been comple- mented by a newly renovated Cen- ter for Academic Computing, a fa- cility for use by all fields. With time and a conscientious and diligent ef- fort, the Department of Computer Science will grow to be a strong as- set for Bethany College. Senior fellow: John Potemrl 24 Economics Randolph Cooey, John D. Davis, Harold Curnutte. Dr. Forrest Klrkpatrick Senior fellow: LIbby Niver The Economics Department helps students understand how man ' s struggle to provide for his needs and wants in a world of limited re- sources is related to all of man ' s so- cial, personal, and political problems.

Senior Fellow: Matt Tice 30 Mathematics The goal of the Mathematics Department is to provide the stu- dent with a knowledge of the foundations of mathematics. It will give the prospective teacher an understanding and apprecia- tion of the fundamentals of ele- mentary math. It also provides a tool for the technical student and gives the prospective grad stu- dent a foundation for later study and research. Jim Allison, Dr. David Brown, Mary KomorowskI 31 Philosophy Dr. Stanley Becker, Dr. Robert Myers, and Dean Daniel Cobb III The goal of the Philosophy Department is to assist the student in discovering and developing a sound basis for interpreting self and society through a careful examination of his or her beliefs, actions, and claims to knowledge. It will also serve to assist the student in becoming aware of the nature and status of philosophical problems, commitments, ideologies, and models that serve as the foundation of human life. It also provides the student who expects to pursue graduate studies in philosophy with a sound basis in the major areas of the field. 32 Physical Education The Physical Education Department offers many avenues for all students and faculty of Bethany College. Whether your interests involve being a Physical Education major or if you just want to participate in competitive or intermural sports, the Alumni Fieldhouse is the place to be. The classes that the Physical Education Department offers, vary from a basic fitness class to a Historical Perspective of physical education to an advanced athletic training course. The training room is equipped with many rehabilitation devises and continues to grow with the Physical Education Department, making Bethany a more complete environment.

The recent dedication of the Public Policy- Economics lounge has increased enthusiasm for the department. With many freshmen declaring Political Science as their field of concentration, the future for the department looks bright. Dr. Albert Ossman. Jackie Delaat Senior fellows: Leslie Kalcevic, Jeff Hartzell 35 Bethany College is fortunate enough to have a psychology de- partment staffed with highly quali- fied professors with diversified in- terests. This provides each individ- ual with the opportunity to objectively formulate and develop ones own interests and because of this each person obtains the basis of knowledge they need to pursue a ful- filling career. Students graduating this year with a degree in psychology are working towards career goals such as peace corps and working with children to study clinical psycholo- gy- Psychology Dr. John Hull, Dr. Gale Thompson.

The Beach Party excelled and we furthered our repu- tation as the party guys on cam- pus with regular MKUs to thrill the girls on the hill. We partied in the Ghetto, the Bat Cave, and the Pent- house. We beat Beta because we ' re the best and we would NEVAH have a grain party or trash the living room out back. We love Nufu.

We met and conquered all the chal- lenges that were set before us. We set a world record, pledged 28 fresh- men, and placed brothers in leader- ship positions on campus. We look forward to the future and all the challenges and opportunities that lie before us. 44 Campbell S. Richardson, K. Powell, K. Vandergrift, F. Elston, A. Gladstone, D. Zuerccher, C. Tuthill. N.

The Haunted House was a success and so were the Wellsburg Crew ' s Saturday night lounge parties. It ' s a full house at Campbell, but not too many things have changed . . .

It is good though, a place where day is night and night is day. The house took on seven new pledges and is anxious to continue its tradition; good times at Heaven-n-Heli, sunbathing, and going to the bar for just two. The big question up at the lone house on the hill still remains . . . what ' s a comp? 46 Hagerman S.Adams, R.Perlman, D.DIcenzo. B.Peters. R.Shelburne. J.Mauro. J.Grocholski, T.Perella. P. Shelly.

Our first reaction might have been jealousy towards Phillips, but now we know we ' d love it no other way! Our Pizza Hut runs, fun with the Sigma Nu ' s and KA ' s. and even struggling through interdisc. to- gether made our freshman year in Harlan the best! 48 Kappa Alpha 1984-85 has not been an easy year for the brothers of Kappa Alpha. The death of our brother Dave Mac McAuley took us by surprise and hit us hard. He may no longer be with us physically, but he will always be a part of our memories. And memories the KA ' s do have of the 1984-85 Bethany year. We housed a family of dogs and grew attached to Dixie. The Gold Fish Party was bigger and better than ever, and once again we were the Campus Keg Kings. Although it was hard times that brought us together, it was an event- ful year with memories that will last a lifetime. . Hamtll.M urrows. M. owal5l . Ault, D. Mallino. S. Moore. A. Rupprecht. V.

Despite our student teachers who rose with the sun. we still outdid our- selves with tongues of the slip which began with a paint of coat. Speaking of coats, that going to a funeral feel- ing on comps morning soon disap- peared when Jill doned a gorilla suit. Whatever happens, where ever we go in A.O.T., if you look some- where over the rainbow — KD lies; where if you can let your wishes roam beyond the rainbow, you have found your home. 50 McDiarmid L.

With the senior project marathon, Mary Lou fan club and Santa ' s secret six, there ' s never a dull moment in the house. While Lau- rie asked the musical question How much is that man in the window? and Carol left her Mark in England, the house had a great year. But, the question still remains: Is Dr. Olshan allowed to advise a house of wom- en? 51 Morlan 52 Heritage FLOW 55 Heritage, alias Flow is the daily late-night keg and Cabaret ' s new man- agement. The Flow boys are busy rais- ing bucks doing tuck-ins, but why? To make Bethany rock at the 1985 Block Party. We began the year with our Dress as Your Favorite Dead Person party, and continued the year with good music, good beer, and good times. Oh, yeah, the overnighters with Kalli, the Killer B, and our buddy Virginia. ' i 53 Phillips Phillips girls will always carry with them special memories of their freshman year. Their first day of Aladdin food, the first frat party, the first big test, pulling the first all-nighter, homecoming, care- package s from home, late night B.S. sessions, boyfriends and one-night stands, flush, sneaking into Bubbas, finding a date for formal, phone bills. Rush, Bidday, and the smiles and tears they brought. We patiently awaited the infamous Snow Carnival, Wellsburg runs, Spring Fever and finals. But we will especially remember all the friends we made along the way! Here is to Phillips Dorm 84-85 and to all that were there. 54 PhiMu 1984 brought the celebration of Phi Mu ' s 60th year on the Bethany Campus and visits from our special friends Adena, Kitty, and Kaili. Even though missing four sisters, the house pulled close together to help each other through the year. Many of the girls took on leadership positions around campus, and the house became their refuge after a hard day. Rush and pledging proved to be fun and successful. 18 new girls joined in the good times with Larry Lookouts, parties in the cube, Bye Bye Miss American Pie , and slumber parties in the lounge. With 15 seniors leaving this spring, things will be different. Goodluck girls — we love you and we ' ll miss you! One last toast to Mother Earth!!? Leaper. P. Mills. B. Adkins. K. Witt. M. J.

Bowery Brawl (liquor in the front poker in the rear,) White Rose Formal, and Fair Street Block Party all proved to be a good time. Sigma Nu ' s are lead- ers all over campus SBOG president Craig Wagner, Chief Justice Jim Wolf, Senior Fellows Matt Tice and Jeff Hartzell, three RA ' s and two studying abroad.

Many nights were filled with euchar games. Triv- ial Pursuit, study breaks and Mo jokes ! The year started off well. Zeta ' s tied for first place in Greek Sing. Then Lynn was crowned Homecom- ing Queen, Genise was married in Greece, the European travelers came home, and Bid Day brought 18 awesome pledges, who were p rty animals. The Zeta ' s continue to move on as president Joan gave her office to Michelle, and Suzanne replaced Buff as pledge trainer. Upon graduation the seniors will be missed, but no matter what, Zeta will always be home. M. Akiyoshi, K. Baker, D. Buhrow. P. Dickerson, L. Flore, A. Ford, P. Gasklll, D. Bundy. H. Busse. L.

It was a successful year for the girls under the leadership of Coach Paul Kingman and tri-captains Suzie Sarver, Kim Krinock, and Chris Beyer. Hal Newman served as the team ' s trainer and Eileen Finn and Dana Schwartz did most of the orga- nizational work. The girls ended their season placing first at the Ohio Valley Women ' s Soccer Tourna- ment. The team came close to going varsi- ty this year. Their record, participa- tion and long-term involvement on campus were all factors in this, how- ever, lack of funding made it unfea- sable.

The ' S4 season was broken down into three smaller streaks of three games each. The Bisons started off the season slow and lost their first three contests, then they surged back to win their next three and were battling for the PAC chamion- ship, before those hopes were shat- tered with losses in the final three contest. Six members of the Bison squad were named to the PAC All-Star team. Making the first team were quarterback Nick Arminio. lineman Mike Jacobs, and linebacker Mike Berlardia. Second team honors went to wide receiver Neal Nola, running back Glenn Simon, and defensive back Mike Castilow. 66 Bison football FOOTBALL Bisons Opponent | 3 Capital 23 7 Duquesne 14 26 Washington Jefferson 52 31 Grove City 6 20 John Carroll 13 35 Thiel 13 20 Carnegie Mellon 27 16 Hiram 20 Westminster 20 M i r- E.

Due to injuries and a small team, they were unable to qualify for any meets, but they participated anyway. The goals be- came indi idual ones and they were accomplished. Captain Ric Soto had very positive feelings about the team members and what they ac- complished. Ken Clark, despite injuries, had a good season and Paul Vlartindale did not let the lack of team qualification stop him from finishing out the sea- son. The most improved team mem- ber was Tom Roberts, only a fresh- man, who improved his time by three minutes. Of course. Coach McGowan was there the whole sea- son to keep the runners enthusiasm going. 68 Left to right: Paul Vlartindale. Tom Roberts. Rich Soto. Coach VlcGowan Top l-r: K. Korab, J. Marstella. P.

Old and new swimmers, both men and woinen, joined together to inake this season a building season in more ways than one. Although the team lost a few members who started the season, the final count, not including injury, was a doubling in the team from last year. There were many first year swimmers and none of these had ever swum competitively before. With the guidance of Co-Captains Kip Gillet and Dave Tucker with Dianne Corkery as the women ' s cap- tain, there was a renewed commit- ment to the team. This unification was brought about greatly by the en- thusiasm of the first-year swim- mers. The divers, a relatively new as- pect of the team, did a fabulous job. Together, the whole team added 21 points to last year ' s PAC record. All the swimmers are extrememly excited about the prospects for next year. Hopefully, all the addi- tions and changes will allow the re- cord to finally reflect the team ' s tal- ent. 69 field Hochey m ' ' The Lady Bisons Field Hockey Team put Bethany in the limelight with their outstanding season this year. Ranked 5th in the southwest region they closed their season with a 2-2 record. The team started young with eight freshmen anxiously awaiting their first college experience. During a seven game winning streak the freshmen learned from and adjusted well to the upperciass team members. This made the season quite enjoyable. and memorable for all. I Get Excited, a walk down 88 to Wheeling, hangin ' at the gas station, Oglebay and Farreils are but a few of the memories that bring a smile. The team hurts with the loss of four starting seniors, but with dedication and hard work they can make next year ' s season just as great. Yea, We ' re 12 ' n 2!

The wom- en were more competitive while still maintaining a level of good fun. There were quite a few girls who shone this season and among them was Susie Sarver who did well both offensively and defen- sively.

The men ' s team has quite a following and, un- der the leadership of Coach and President Don McKay, the club team had quite a few wins. The team is composed of a lot of diverse guys who look like they have a lot of fun to make up for a lot of bruises. Don McKay was the leading scor- er and Ross Brown had a very good season. The team had several meets and looks forward to another great season next year. 73 TEAM BATTLES TOUGH SCHEDULE HAUV Jt-BALL COLL TONIGHT ?:30 74 The 84-85 men ' s Basketball team had to struggle against some pretty tough teams which can account for the losing season. But, this was an- other story of a team that deserved to win. The men worked well togeth- er and had great rapport with one another. They also had a very strong offense. Due partly to the tough schedule, they unfortunately didn ' t pull off as many wins as they would have liked. Despite the record, there were some players that really shined. Frank Yankovich, a junior, did ex- tremely well and senior Peter Kemp ended his last season playing for the Bisons really excelling for the team. Both men added greatly to the over- all performance of the team. With this past years schedule, which included a game against Navy, and the prospect of a lot of returning freshmen, the team looks forward to improving their record next year. Top l-r: B. Brennan. Z.

The team was a young team with only three seniors, six sophomores and three freshmen. Battling inexperience and injuries, the women managed a fifth place finish in the PAC; this being their first year included in this conference. This season concludes Bethany ' s involvement in the Pennwood West Conference. Sophomore Dianne Hess led the team throughout the year not only in her leadership role as a tri- captain but also as the team ' s leading scorer and rebounder. Seniors Robin Thompson and Ginny Ridgway filled the other two captains positions. Four Bisons received honors for their play this year. Hess was named to the ALL-PAC first team and sophomores Stacy Matulewicz and Joanna Wells were named to the first team for the Pennwood West Conference. Senior Robin Thompson was also named to the first team for PWC. The team managed to stick together through some very rough games and experiences, but the memories they shared more than make up for all the losses they had on their record. D. Hess had an outstanding season as leading R. Thompson served as a tri-captain this year, scorer. 76 Top l-r: Coach Giarusso, Coach Carney-Debord, R. Thompson, G. Ridgway, C. Beyer, J. Gruesser, M.

Coach Meyer consid- ered the year as a springboard for the 1986 season. The inexperience of this year will be the experience for next year. Captains for the season were seniors Jerry Burkhard and Ed Chuba. The batting leaders were sophomore Bill Huff and freshman Bob Bloder. Charlie Lower and Keith Roth handled most of the pitching duties. Bethany should look for great things from next year ' s ma- tured team.

Throughout the season, there was excellent team effort. Although the Captains provided great leadership, it was not limited to just them. There was wide spread leadership. With a tough schedule, the team showed exceptionally well with the young pitching squad. Missy Goodrich re- ceived the coaching award and Ro- sette Harris was given the MVP award. The team is young and looks forward to great things next year. Freshman, K. Yettito was the most valuable outfielder. 83 TEAM HAS FEW MEETS Although there were a lot of set backs for the track team this year, the team was large and quite a few men and one woman placed in the PACs. Captain Nick Arminio pro- vided the leadership and also quali- fied for National ' s in the javelin throw. The team only had four meets which didn ' t allow much room to im- prove. Although they lost all of their meets, quite a few members decid- ed to go on to the PACs, reflecting the team spirit. The girl ' s team started out with four members, but only one decided to go on to PACs, Stephanie Tomczyk. It was the first time during t he season she had com- peted against other girls. The team hopes for more meets next year as well as more wins. Top l-r: F. Marker, S. Wiehr. E. Smith. J. Phillips, R. Cicchino. T. Gooch, R. Headly, R. Brown, N. Arminio, D. Johnson, A. Offield. R.

There were small changes made within the staff and for the first time a professional photographer was brought in to take senior portraits. Along with the changes came complications and it sometimes seemed a 48 hour day was needed the night before a dead- line. The staff was relatively young this year with most members being first- timers. Freshmen Missy Purdy, Jane Gallant, Julie Hoskins, Sue Hurwitz, and Tom Roberts were our rookie photographers aiding upperclass- men Jim Porter, Missy Fabbro, Marcy Chubet, Tracy Verrone and Gail Habetler. Someday we ' ll look back on the year with a smile. We hope that the 1985 Bethanian will provide you with cherished memo- ries and smiles in the years to come. The Bethanian D. Ferraro. S.

The club also vis- ited the Nationality Classrooms in the Cathedral of Learning and had a German dinner in Pittsburgh. Before Christmas the club had its tradition- al Christmas dinner, at which they sang Christmas carols and heard Dr. Cayard ' s famous Christmas story. Highlights of 2nd semester included Rick Sage ' s presentation on Tuebin- gen, making us all want to! Also the club featured the film Nathan der Weise. 93 UIA Volunteers in Action brings togeth- er students from the entire campus to share fun times while working with others. About 50 Bethany stu- dents volunteer their time to help out where needed. VIA is divided into four subgroups: Kings Clowns, Children ' s Home of Wheeling, Home of the Good Shepherd, and Saturday School. Kings Clowns clown around at area events, bringing smiles to the faces of the people they visit. Home of the Good Shepherd is a home for the elderly where volun- teers have made many new friends. The students who volunteer at the Children ' s Home of Wheeling help with trips to the mall, movies or the park. Saturday School has come to mean a fun time for Bethany chil- dren. Circle K The Circle K Club has again been busy this year with service projects and volunteer work throughout the area. The club chaperoned a group of handicapped persons to a Pitts- burgh Pirates Baseball game and took another group out for an after- noon of putt-putt golf. During the fall. Circle K hosted a convention of all West Virginia colleges with Cir- cle K clubs. Halloween was a busy time with the club sponsoring a car- nival and haunted house. Circle K raised over $4000 worth of food and $125 in cash for a food drive. The club is getting actively involved with a Group Home for Troubled Girls in Wellsburg. The year finished off with Circle K sponsoring the an- nual Brooke County Special Olym- pics. 94 Back: Phil Mutino.

Lisa Calemero Midweeh Take a Mid-Week break! But what does that mean? It means gathering with a group of 20-iO people and sharing a common faith in God. Mid- week has done many things this year to keep the Christian faith alive on this campus. These include speakers, retreats, discussions, singing, sharing, and praying. The highlight of the year was Jubilee that helped incorporate one ' s own Christian values into a field of study. $600 Once again the Student Board of Governors got off to a busy and pro- ductive start with the inauguration of Pres. Troy Martin 2nd semester. Martin and VP Colleen Casey have instituted a more concentrated pub- licity program to ensure better stu- dent awareness and participation in activities.

Most of the members are social work majors. Some of the activities that they sponsored were a van to the Ohio Valley Mall and a Basket of Cheer Raffle to buy toys for the soci- ety of the Children ' s Crippled Home in Wheeling. Throughout the year they provided students with peer counseling and alcohol awareness discussions. AIESEC AIESEC is the French acronym for the International Association for Students in Economics and Business Management. This year, members have learned to market and gain practical experience by meeting with businessmen from Fostoria Glass, Tire America, Aladdin Food Service and Ohio Valley Medical Center. Members attend regional AIESEC conferences at the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania and George Washington University. In addition, senior Sue Griffin will participate in an internship abroad in the Far East. Such opportunities are available to anyone who gets involved with AIE- SEC. Nick Dragonir, Beth Benatti, Beth Thomas, Jane Gallant, Sue Griffin 97 Political Affairs The Political Affairs Club got off to a great start with their political candi- date platform debates and rounded out with a full schedule of activities from films and speakers to the SBOG candidate debate. They heard is- sues from law school acceptances to the aiding of Guerrilla forces in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Back Row: J. Olsen. S. McBride. T.R. Brysh. L, Schmitt. Front Row: J. Lantis. B.

The Computer Science Club, under the leader- ship of Janet Flanders, Kris Kuzma and Pete Caldwell, made numer- ous field trips and par- ticipated in many activi- ties this year, including an expedition to Pitts- burgh to visit the GENIX corporation. Genix is a former branch of Nation- al Steel and is a large computer software com- pany. The club also had many different key-note speakers with topics covering everything from artificial intelli- gence to job interviews. Back row: N. Richardson. B. Vergato. M. Dracopoulos. K. Ohrman, T.

With speakers rang- ing from the sharks of the deep to the tropical rain forest of Puerto Rico, the club has provided the cam- pus with a variety of topics. The group also undertook the task to re- build and beautify the deteriorated nature trail as well as plant trees down by the soccer field. Tri-Beta consists of about thirty-two mem- bers.

The Resident Assistance Staff was a group that did what some have termed the hardest job on campus. They were responsible for living with the freshmen and helping them adjust to college life. The staff, under the direc- tion of Kuzma and Hermsen, had the additional responsibility of enforcing the new alcohol rules. Some of the staff went to a con- ference at Marshall University where they met and compared notes with RAs from all over WV. Much was learned but it wasn ' t all work and those that went have some great memories. Despite any problems encoun- tered, all the RAs will agree there are some fantastic rewards to the position! 99 Jazz Band The Jazz Band, under the direction of Bert DeVaul, played two con- certs, Christmas and Spring, as well as performed prior to Commence- ment on May II.

This quiet little town that we call home came alive and jazzed to the tunes of Spyro-Gyra in the fieldhouse on Friday night. Sports fans followed the yellow-brick road to Bethany fields to see the soccer and football teams in action. Bison booters kicked their way to a 16-0 rout over WSJ. Football fans saw an exciting game which ended 14-7 in Duquesne ' s favof! and also the crowning of queen Lynn Canfield, a psychology major from Morristown, NJ. Alumni and stu- dents enjoyed the sounds of Arkay-5 on Saturday night, as well as all of the Homecoming hoop-la and agreed: Beth- any — there ' s no place like home.

But the weather brightened along with the crowd ' s faces when Gene began to sing. Long-time fans as well as new listeners laid back and enjoyed the music that has made Gene Cot- ton a Bethany tradition for years. Many of Cotton ' s songs had a mes- sage — a message that got past the bloody marys and the beers and tru- ly touched the audience. Good friends sharing good music. Let your love flow! 108 BETA The Beta Theta Pi Fraternity set a new Guinness world record for the longest volleyball game. Twelve members played for 84 hours on Sept. 27-30. They broke the 5-year- old record of 75 hours and 30 min- utes. The Betas raised over $3,000 for the Kidney Foundation in honor of Dr. Richard B. Kenney, Head of the religion department and past ad- visor of the fraternity. Both stu- dents and faculty contributed with pledges and donations. Members participating in the mara- thon held in the Alumni Fieldhouse include: Tom Caruso, Dave Cher- nicky, Ed Chuba, Jamie Dove, Marty Hoffman, Lou LeDonne, Dale Wy- tiaz, Craig Frisinai, Jeff Hurl, Rick Organ. Greg Warner, and Dave McConahy. Despite all of the ex- haustion and fatique. the brothers of Beta Theta Pi succeeded . . . Good job guys! DELT The Brothers of Delta Tau Delta Fra- ternity held a frisbee marathon on September 13-14 to raise money for The Wheeling Society for Gripped Children. The members collected nearly $1,200 in pledges, concession sales, and do- nations and braved the rain, soggy ground, wet clothes and generally terrible weather conditions while listening to music for the 24 hours. Two of the Delts — John Potemri, past president of the fraternity, and James Siivestri, chairman of commu- nity services for the fraternity — received an award for outstanding community service from 97 WK, a Wheeling radio station. Congratula- tions to the brothers of Delta Tau Delta for the wonderful job. 109 p UW ' [ ir no BID DAV It was 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 3, 1985, and the scene had been set . . . the trees and ground had been covered by the freshly fallen snow, a chill was in the air and anticipation and excitement could be seen everywhere! It was time for the event that the whole Greek system had been waiting for!!!! ... BID DAY!! The women received their bids in Wailes Theatre this year from IVIiss Nicholson. After the women read their bids, they proceeded to run outside, meet some of their new sis- ters and rush up the hill to meet ev- eryone else. The emotions flowed and the magic began . . . Hugs were exchanged, tears were shed, songs were screamed, lasting friendships were started and then the partying began to welcome the new sisters! The men were greeted by their new brothers outside of Richardson. The brothers wore all kinds of fun partying attire to set the celebrating mood! Afterwards, the new brothers participated in many events back at the houses, including snowball bat- tles. The independents also took part in this special day and all of it ' s fun activities! Their enthusiasm and ex- citement made this years Bid Day a great success! .k Theater Under the supervision of Dr. David Judy, the Bethany College Theater De- partment presented the following pro- ductions: Do, I Do! by Jones and Schmidt Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley The Threepenny Opera by Brecht and Weill How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You by Christopher Durang Alpha Psi Omega Dinner Theater Working by Studs Terkel lO 113 Twenty Bethany students spent the semester in Oxford, England, study- ing under Professor John Taylor. The Bethanians lived as tenants around the city of Oxford. Classes were held at the Cowley Community Center every morning for three hours and the afternoons were free for exploring. Part of the British His- tory class included day trips to Can- terbury, Bath, Cambridge, Salisbury and Coventry. The group visited Shakespeare ' s birthplace to see Hamlet and saw many plays on their own as well. Students also vis- ited such places as Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Amsterdam, Italy and Greece. Maybe a weekend in Wheel- ing cannot compare to Paris, but the travelling Bethanians have realized there ' s no place like home! Semester 114 Roaming through historical sights, late street markets, sidewalk cafes and European discos are just some of the many activities enjoyed by the Bethanians that were studying in Madrid. Spain. The four students studied at the same university yet did many things individually, including traveling to different parts of Europe and Spain. They were forced to learn from trial and error the do ' s and don ' ts in a foreign culture. The semester was not at all full of fun for there were hardships that made it even more difficult to cope with living away from home. The Semester abroad truly shaped a major part of our lives . . . We learned a lesson not taught at the University, a small part of a lesson in life. 115 . BrT;? Tbcta Pi 116 ' ' •- 117 The Regatta Reborn Nineteen Eighty-Five ' s Spring Weekend included more than two fantastic bands: The Busboys and The Swampp Band; it saw the return of THE REGATTA! Fishermen hoping for big catches in the mighty Buffalo were surprised by floating Bethan- ians who participated in the revival of a tradition that sank several years ago. Many students spent a sunny spring day aboard makeshift crafts and then washed the Buffalo juice out of their hair in the cafete- ria. Between jamming and saluting, the entire weekend was a successful way to usher in the spring on cam- pus. lis May Morning Breakfast Besides strawberries and cream and spring flowers, this year ' s May Morning breakfast honoring the sen- ior women included the presenta- tion of Eighty years of Fashion. This fashion show, done by Lisa Krause, highlighted fashion from the turn of the century to the present. Guest speaker Jane Glauser, a 1979 Bethany graduate and Wheeling at- torney, discussed the value of a lib- eral arts education. 119 F-W! - ' '   i ' .z Seniors r ' jfir - ;:i ' ' ' ' • - ip 121 m i. i ' If !
