Theme Introduction TAKE A LOOK AROUND Such a small place, such a big place. There ' s so much to see from the Hill, Bethany is alive with color, not only in the hills, but also in the character of the people here. Students and faculty from a myriad of backgrounds are somehow drawn to the banks of the ' ole Buffalo, and the characters of these people foster the community. Although it sometimes seems possible to know everyone, there is always the chance to meet someone different. Through senior year, new friends are still being made. The hills around this community are constantly changing. The fall is beautiful-crisp, the winter is long, while the spring brings green and a beautiful sky for the Tower to stand tall, strong and comforting.

Theme Introduction THE TOTAL VIEW e ' vc taken a look, briefly, at the View from the Hill, it includes much in and out of Bethany. The life here has many faces and many facets, but the view truly does go further. We ' ve seen that events outside, in the place where Time has not laid its hand have touched us still in our community. Yet, our special place, here at Bethany, is what we deal with from day-to-day and we invite you to see what the View from the Hill was in the aca- demic year of 1985-1986. LOOKING OUT — Chicago Bears ' Jim McMann made the news with his on and off the field antics, but made big headlines during his showdown with football commission- er Roselle over his Adidas headband; Freshman Wally Wood managed to have a smile for everyone all year long; J.T. Thomas, sophomore, had his own version of McMann advertising on the field; Chris Bobbitt, soph- omore Alpha Sig, did his civic duty with a smile. He was a donor at the annual blood drive in Bethany. Theme Introduction HERE ' S TO YOU Celebrate the senior! After four years together, we ' ve arrived — Senior Year. A year mixed with longings to leave, to get on with life, and remorse knowing that our college days are drawing to an end. We ' ve lived, laughed, learned, and grown together. We gathered here on that first day so many years ago (was it really only four?) a group of young people with lots of thoughts of freedom and yet petrified of being alone without a familiar face in sight. And now we ' re here together again on that final day four years later, amazed that the years could go so quickly and sad that these special days are passing out of our lives. Hopefully, the friends are not! So, here ' s to the seniors; Thanks for the memories and best wishes for a happy life!

Theme Introduction 10 ,!-,. « UFE 11 FRESHMEN i When the freshmen showed up on campus August 28th, there was a remarkable difference in attitude from past classes; they came with an air of maturity. It was first evident at the group meetings. They were considerate and attentive. The class of 1989 accepted the dry dorm policy with grace and there was far less damage in Morlan while the women ' s dorms were gener- ally quiet. In fact, the freshmen women ended the first semester with a higher grade point average than past classes had achieved in quite a few years. Once again many came from PA and those from W VA continued to increase as did the number of Disci- ples. The Class of 1989 dis- covered Bethany through special means. About twenty-one of them had sis- ters or brothers already at- tending the school, while seven of them came from families in which both par- ents had attended Beth- any. Therefore, there came with this class a spe- cial loyalty to Bethany.

Troy started Bando about four years ago when he was fourteen and since then has won several awards including third place in the 1983 Bando Nationals, first place in the Tri-State Tournament of Honor and first place in the Ohio Valley Martial Arts Championship. Frazee continues practicing Bando to stay in shape and because he enjoys it. So, think twice before getting on the bad side of Troy Frazee, Bando expert. SWEEPING UP — Dave Douglas does time for B G.

The two women treasured the privacy that came along with living in the Mansion ' s apartment, but they admitted there was an adjustment period. They were afraid at first of the haunted house sounds which were not helped by friends coming out to the secluded house just to scare them. Julie and Patty explained that although it is a requirement that the curators be Disciples of Christ, they need not be reli- gious studies majors. The two found the experience a good opportunity to meet new people and develop good communica- tions skills. This was the first year women were given the chance to act as curators and they were glad to have been the ones. :i -, ' ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Here lived the leading influence in America ' s largest Indigenous religious movement. Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and founder of Bethany College. Built in four periods: the John Brown Mansion, completed in 1793; Buffalo Seminary, in 1819: brick dining wing, in 1836; and Stranger ' s Hall , in 1840. Among famous Ameri- cans who were guests were Calhoun. Clay, Webster, Davis. Garfield. j% OMEN ' S LIB — Patty Gaskill and Julie Dskins were the first women curators. BUNDER ' S FACTS - The National His- rical Sight sign indicates how influential jmpbell was in the U.S.A. A MANSION? — The house was considered a mansion in the early 1800 ' s because it had pane glass windows. DECENT BURIAL — Only direct descendents of A. Campbell and presidents of the college and their families may now be buried in the walled in cemetery.

It was founded on May 29, 1929. Alpha Sig housed many outstanding athletes. For example, Kosmas Mouratidis and Toby Bronson were starters on the soccer team and Dave Strnisa played football. Many of the brothers joined the Lacrosse team. One of the many charac- teristics that makes the Alpha Sig house unique is the luxurious Penthouse located directly be- hind the main house. The PH was home to senior Phil Murphy. It was thought that the Colonel who lived in the mansion prior to the Alpha Sigs, had come back to haunt the PH as well as the main house. The brothers had some ghostbusters come in and look around, but no ghosts were found. STUDY HARD 11:00 class.

One was the all-campus Hoopie Par- ty. People showed up dressed as West Virginia hillbillies or hoopies. Another special event was Breath-Xi-Week. Organized to help raise money for the American Lung Associ- ation and to promote respiratory health, the event raised $300. Among the sisters, two held prestigious positions. Heidi McGuigan was a co-captain of the women ' s volleyball team and Lisa Maher held the position of Student Board of Govenors Club and Committee Chairperson and Vice-President of S.B.O.G. The Alpha Xi ' s also won two academic awards. They were presented with an award for hav- ing the highest grade point aver- age of all Alpha Xi chapters in W VA.

McDiarmidites involved them- selves on most women ' s sports teams and the campus media. McDiarmid 27 Housing MORLAN Morlan Hall was originally built as a dorm for women and as such held the Kappa Delta and Zeta Tau Alpha sororities as well as independent women. Later, the building became the home for all freshmen men. During the 70 ' s, the building was pretty wild with nightly kegs, but now as a dry dorm, the place is a fait less wild but certainly not less quiet. The guys have been doing a lot together this year as a part of the Wellness Programming Policy. Football games in the mud, foot- ball games in the lounge, and football games on the hall all proved to be popular. Freshmen men were active in quite a few varsity sports as well as campus media and student government. YO — says Frank Antonucci.

Alright, we ' ll name a hous- ing unit after you, oh and a li- brary, too. Possibly what the Bethany College Board of Trust- ees told T.W. Phillips, Sr. after he declined the presidency. In 1891, Phillips Hall was built; in 1930, it was reconstructed after fire damage, and in the 1970 ' s it was restored. Located across the drive from Old Main, Phillips Hall housed the bulk of the fresh- men women. However, freshmen women weren ' t the only resi- dents of Phillips Hall. In addition to the rumored Phillips ' Ghosts, the hall often had other temporary occupants. Phillips Lounge, on the first floor, was a popular mecca for those cram- ming for exams, scribbling a rough draft, and study-break chatting.

Providing a college home seemed to be the most difficult feat for the Phi Tau ' s. They have lived at eight buildings. Among them were the Bleak House at the corner of Richardson Street and Church Street. The brothers were involved in the blood drive, as they have been in past years. Another long- standing tradition at Phi Tau is the winning of the Greek Sing; they have won the honor 14 out of the past 15 years. On the so- cial side, the Phi Tau ' s sponsored the annual Luau in conjunction with the Phi Mu sorority.

Beth- any is the Epsilon chapter (found- ed in 1883), making it one of the oldest fraternities at Bethany. The Sigma Nus are famous for their parties and especially for gatoring. The house held quite a few leaders and were represent- ed in almost every sport. Of course, the annual Bowery Brawl was held and the abuse was heavy — no one ' s past was left untouched. Second Semester ' s big party was the White Rose Formal. The House ' s major project was the Soccer Ball Run from Davis Elkins College to Beth- any for the D E-Bethany game in order to raise money for the Bethany Volunteer Fire Dept.

Stereotypical characteristics can ' t be placed on the Zetas for they are involved all over cam- pus in sports, they are Senior Fe- lows, the curators of Campbell Mansion, Resident Assistants, and there are many others in- volved in theatre and yearbook. The Zetas have always noted that the link allows them to move and be themselves, while still maintaining the Together- ness. J Our House ... la, la, I la, la . . . It ' s a BOY!!! ' i . . .

Chairmen Mark Miller and Vic Basch (first se- mester) and Andy Gallina (second semester) worked along side Miss Nick and the rest of the Board to book the various acts and to set up for them. Many long hours were spent at the fieldhouse or the cafete- ria putting up stages and unloading equipment. Far from being a bur- den, Gina DeMasi, junior Board member, said that she enjoyed working on Renner Union Board be- cause she likes, deciding what groups to bring in and meeting the people in the different bands. Mark Miller agreed that working on the Board was fun and enjoyed, being able to have a say about what groups are here. Miller ' s ma- jor complaint about being involved with the Board was that, Students come ' fashionably late ' to concerts and the band can ' t get into it. Some of the highlights of the year included a Dizzy Gillepsie concert, a performance by the Washington Ballet, various art shows, concerts by David Wopat and Hector in Paris and the return of Gene Cotton, a Bethany tradition. In addi- tion, the Board planned a memora- ble Homecoming with a horsedrawn carriage carrying the Queen candi- dates to the field and a concert by Pure Prairie League. Spring Week- end was also a good time as Bethany rocked to the Jets and Marshall Crenshaw. Renner Union Program- ming Board spends a lot of time and money to provide the college with entertainment and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

As usual, Bethany Beach behind Phillips was crowded while other housing units had their own exclusive tanning sections. Em ' s continued to be a popular hang-out after classes; a cold quart on a hot day really hit the spot. Basically, spring is a lot of fun and as one student, Barb Fusciello said, there is a spirit of friendship. CHORDS OF HARMONY — (above left) Spring brings a peace of mind and people together.

The Editors-in-Chicf would like to offer you, the student reader, a glance into the life of a Bethanian Editor-in-Chief by way of the endless number of memos collected. Due to the overwhelming enormity of the job to begin with, we have chosen to limit your inlook to the experience whispered (gasped!) by all editors alike . . . THE DEADLINE LONG IN ADVANCE . . . — Welcome back from J-term. 1 was up here (does anyone else on campus know this room exists?) seeing the mess we left from the last deadline. The next deadline is 80 pages, yes 80. But, we ' ll pace ourselves, not like last time. This deadline will be under control. — Famous last words. — C.T. Miller ' s statement about having to have all the color flats in for this deadline just hit me. That ' s 11 pages we didn ' t count on ... is the Tower door open? Okay, I ' ll calm down. We are going to have to do some major rearranging. 1 guess features is a good place to start. Is it my imagination or is 80 pages an awful lot? — The layouts you did look good, I wrote some stories. Let ' s trade. How long do you think the pictures will be? — Not long. THREE DAYS BEFORE THE DEADLINE . . . — Still waiting for the pictures. Called the company — They are on their way ... Sure they are. Talked to the section editor, she said everything was under control Sure it is. But, we shall not panic yet. Got the sophomore feature layed out. See ya later on. — We need an Executive Meeting! Quick. TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DEADLINE . . . 10am — Oh joy, after minimal deliberation with our incredi- ble advisor, the problem with Tale O ' is over. She suggested merely the most OBVIOUS answer. 3 pages. God is looking upon us because we happen to have an extra page which we were so unceremoniously going to put Blood Drive (ugh!) She gave me great drawings of the Old BC to use. It will look fabulous. I have classes 1-4, but I ' ll see you later. Lets go in Bethanian 40 Campus Life search of good party pics okay or maybe you later about that. Me. . well, I ' ll talk to 12pni — Where are the pictures? I ' m panicking.

Why don ' t our class schedules match up? Someday we will be up here in this claustrophobic room together. Got some catalogs from admission office to check on the academic section. They said to return them . . . why do I get the feeling we will forget? Divider pages are done, why can ' t they all be that easy? 3pm — Because who ever invented yearbooks wanted to cause us stress. Took stuff back to my room to type. 6:35pm — I am leaving now to type fit(!) The soph. frosh layouts. I had to make a few minor changes in the soph, layout, but it ' s not on a final yet . . . lets make sure the copy fits first. We can use SPOT COLOR in the frosh layout, so start choosing! We might as well use it, lets get the company for all the freebies we can. I will type fit the Hittin ' also. Perhaps later we can lug more typewriters down here so we don ' t have to keep running back and forth. Room A already has lots for our volunteer typcrs we are going to have to round up! The one section editor made some progress, but we still have a long way to go and Sports aaah! We need to finish up Campbell Mansion copy and we can send that page in, also. I ' m in the process of creating a masterful RA feature (Ha Ha). I will be out for awhile, but then I shall return to the yearbook room . . . burning the midnight oil so to speak. Care to join me?

We couldn ' t have done it without you!

Bethanian 41 Campus Life TVS AND WVBC Bethany ' s TVS and WVBC expanded their programs and provided more opportu- nities for students due to a $300,000 grant from the Benedum Foundation. WVBC can be heard throughout the valley on FM frequency 88.1. There are a variety of shows rang- ing from Professor Taylor ' s classical show to Dr. Demento and concerts from syndicated Westwood One. Students can hear new artists and underground groups on the unique radio station of the Ohio Valley. WVBC was successful with the leadership of Program Director Leslie Putney, News Director Joe Dougherty, and Music Director Matt Mastrangelo. Not only do students tune in to listen to their favorite DJs, but their favorite anchor people and celebri- ties on TVS. Each program has its own producer and director. Those involved included: General LIGHTS. CAMERA, ACTION! - Senior Chris Berry directs Betliany Baffle.

Most of the fraternities and sorori- ties on campus hold some sort of activity in order to raise money for charity. The Alpha Xi ' s sponsored Breathe-E- Xi week to raise funds for The American Lung Association. Former President, Missy Prime, said, We made $200 and a lot of friends. The Delt ' s favorite charity is the Wheeling Society for Crippled Chil- dren and they continued the tradition of the 24-Hour Frisbee Marathon. Senior Eric Jerpe said that the experience was worth the lack of sleep. The Delts raised $1,000 for the society. Other Greek charities included the Phi Mu Hop for Hope which benefits Pro- ject Hope. The Sigma Nus ran the game soccer ball from Davis and Elkins College to Bethany, both to raise money for the Volunteer Fire Department Greek Charities 44 Campus Life GREEK CHARITIES It was worth the lack of sleep. Eric Jerpe and to get the soccer team fired up. The Zetas helped out at the annual Blood Drive.

The Political Affairs Club met every Monday night in Phillips Lounge and was open to anyone interest ed. They concentrated on discussing current political situations both foreign and do- mestic. Led by Presidents Jim Porter (first semester) and Barb Fusciello (second semester), the group was active in many ways. They sponsored a panel on Apartheid and the S.B.O.G. debates. Speakers were brought in on subjects ranging from China and Women, Black Relations in South America, and Nicauragua. The group also sponsored a woman speaker from South America. The group is proof that although some- times removed from mainstream happenings, Bethany stu- dents are aware of their world. Political Affairs Club 46 Campus Life MODEL UN The Model UN Club simulates actual activity through discussion of important political issues such as disarmament, nuclear nonprolifera- tion, and regional conflict. Throughout the year, the Model UN mem- bers attended conferences at West Virginia University and Harvard. The Club also organized and ministered a regional Model UN confer- ence at Sistervill High School. They ended the year by attending a National Model UN conference in New York.

WELCOMING COMMIT- TEE — PA Heather To- kas, alternate RA Renee Fornadel, and senior RA Mary Finch take their turn at checking freshmen in on the first day. Active listening, Talk to Fran, Biases, Stressed? programming, RA Burnout . . . All of these are buzzwords (phases?) of the Resident Assistant staff. They are words that only the fraternity of RAs can fully grasp. A group of twenty RAs, two program- ming assistants, and two Head Residents, this year ' s staff proved to be one of the best for a few reasons. All the RAs understood the sacrifices involved in accepting a position of this type for one. The staff clicked well from the first day of training and one of their adventures included an excursion to see the movie Teen Wolf which they moan about still. Monday night dinner meetings were full of antics, also, with Maureen car- rying on a comedy routine with any one of the male RAs. Yet, Mrs. Ossman just laughed and was always there for support whether it be in a discipline incident in the dorms or just for morale. And the RAs needed even more support this year than in the past. The staff of ' 85- ' 86 found they were required to put extra time into their jobs. A new programming system was initiat- ed. It ' s based on the idea that every person has at least eight parts to their total growth as a human. The job of the RA was to measure their hall ' s wellness in each of the areas and then together with the hall, design programs that worked with the weaknesses. Some of the RAs proved to be creative in the planning of them. Chan ' s question format alcohol awareness program took the form of a party, Laurie and Caren had a make-up artist come talk and the mud football game was a big event. Brother-Sister halls were assigned which helped program attendance — the RAs finding that food and members of the opposite sex were good motiva- tors. Some of the RAs used programs on campus, such as the Washington Ballet, to meet their hall ' s needs. The system still has kinks in it, but the RAs did a great job in modifying it for Bethany. Hopefully it will gain support campus wide with a bit more understanding about why it is important for not only hall communal growth, but for the whole campus com- munity. 48- Resident Assistants Campus Life RESIDENT ASSISTANTS WHAT A CREW - Front row l-r: Kos- mas Mouratldis.

They started the year off collecting canned goods for Brooke County underpriviledged and flood victims. After the food drive, they got together for a Cincinnati Chili dinner. Through- out the year they have held prayer services at rest homes and also had Mrs. Thompson teach about massage and meditation and their similarities to prayer. Midweek is a Christian Fellowship Club led by stu- dents. They chose the theme Knowing God for a se- mester. Each week they elaborated on the top and took different viewpoints to the topic. They also attended Jubi- lee where students from several colleges come together. One main speaker is featured and this year it was Tony Campolo. Jubilee also offered other seminars on Chris- tian living. EN GARDE — (top) Juniors Harry Balk and Andy Dougherty whip up a deluxe chili dinner for Newman.

Students from a wide variety of majors acted in the plays which included: The Chalk Gar- den , Murder at the Howard Johnsons (Alpha Psi Omega dinner theatre), For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enough , Murder in the Cathedral , and Lady Audley ' s Secret . Junior Don Ross, an English major, said that the best part of being in a play is, Getting to know the rest of the cast. All of the actors deserve a hand, as do Pedro Cuesto and Gary Kappel whose sets added much to the productions. Not to be forgotten, the annual student directed one-act plays were also written by students this year.

Taylor, Professor of Eng- lish, gave the following presenta- tion in May of 1984 at his 40th class reunion. We would like to thank him for sharing this with the Bethanian. The Editors Almost a century and a quarter ago, when Matthew Arnold got the news from Italy that his old Oxford chum Arthur Hugh Clough had died suddenly, he wrote to Clough ' s widow, After Easter I shall go alone to Oxford, and there among the Cumnor Hills, where we have so often rambled, I shall be able to think him over as 1 could wish. You need not tell me that Bethany is not Oxford — for the last 12 years during which I have been tak- ing Bethany students to England for the Oxford Semester, nearly everyone on the faculty of this College has, at one time or another, told me that very obvi- ous truth. But for all the differences between that university and this Col- lege, 1 think that most of us can sympa- thize with Arnold ' s wish to go back to the place where he had passed his col- lege years to recall the depth and the impact of a friendship that had started there. 1 think it is true, especially for us who graduated many years ago, that the presence of those we knew and loved and are no longer with us is espe- cially poignant to us among these West Virginia hills: it is a thing all Bethanians know, and know the most forcefully when they come back for their 25th and 40th and 50th re- unions. But Arnold has more to say to us. When he had made his pilgrimage back to Oxford and the Cumnor hills, being a poet, he made a poem out of the event. It is called THYR- SIS, and though I never knew Mme. Bourne, it would not surprise me at all to learn that she thought it the last great poem writ- ten in the English language. Arnold, like many another Victorian, was caught up in the crisis of faith that rocked the 19th century and it was im- possible for him to turn for consolation to the formulas of a religion that he could no longer accept. So in THYRSIS he finds his consolation in symbols of permanence: classical literature, the light of his university, and especially one particular elm tree, the FyPield Elm, located so prominently upon a hill- top that, in the rambles he and Clough had so frequently taken, they had used it as a guidepost. So, after wrestling with his grief over the loss of Clough and with the disease of Victorian life, Arnold ends his poem with this affirma- tion: Roam on! The light we sought is shining still. Dost thou ask proof? Our tree yet crowns the hill. College Alumni everywhere and in particular, Bethany alumni returning in 1984 for Alumni Weekend have this in common with Matthew Arnold in 1862: they are looking for symbols of perma- nence, and not only symbols but con- crete proofs: It is only natural, 1 sup- pose, for loving graduates on any col- lege to want their college to stay the way it was on the day they graduated and to look upon any change as a sure and certain sign of decay and degener- ation. But Arnold begins his THYRSIS with these lines: How changed is here each spot man makes or fills: In the two Hinkseys nothing keeps the same: The village street its haunted mansion lacks And from the sign is gone Sibylla ' s name. And from the roofs the twisted chimney-stacks: Are ye too changed, ye hills? And with this, too, we can sympa- thize. For the first thing one notices about Bethany when one returns after a long absence is just that: How changed is here each spot. And if we are good Bethanians, that bothers us. Change, we realize, is fine out in the world — none of us wants to wear last year ' s clothes or drive last year ' s auto- mobile, but here in Bethany things ought to stay just as they were. They A Tale Campus Life 65 were right when we left, and what pos- sible need could there be for anything to be altered, especially when alter- ation is for the worse? But change there is; Gateway Hall is no more, Helwig Hall is no more, some of the fraternity houses and all of the sorority houses are gone or have been adapted to other purposes. No one plays bridge at the College Inn and — God help us! — across the street from the College Inn there is a thing that looks suspiciously like a saloon. They don ' t teach Greek any more (at least not like Prof. Gay used to teach it); Prof. Perry ' s book- store has been converted into some- thing very like a clothing shop; the foot- ball field has been turned into a dough- nut-shaped science building, and dear knows what is happening to the old gymnasium. Girls don ' t have signout sheets and late permissions any more, they don ' t have chapel on Thursdays, and I could swear I saw boys coming out of Phillips Hall! Well, yes. We come back to Bethany looking for permanence and we find change; and if we are foolish and petty, we storm off in a huff and write the College out of our wills, if indeed we have ever put her there in the first place. But we are not foolish — not we who tak- en the time and trouble to come back for Alumni Weekend — and there are better ways to look at this sometimes puzzling situa- tion. Not very long after I had graduated from Bethany and had had a fling at gra- duate study (which was a miserable experience for me because I could not rec- oncile myself to the notion that Princeton had any right to be different in any respect from Bethany), I was sent for, my sins, to teach Freshman Composi- tion at the University of Nebraska. When people in that populated desert asked me where I had been A Tale . . . an undergraduate, I proudly told them, At Bethany College. and was greatly abashed when they asked me, Which one? I brashly answered, The real one, Not knowing that there were Bethany Colleges in Kansas and Okla- homa and that no one in Lincoln, Ne- braska, had ever heard of the real Bethany in West Virginia. That hap- pened 35 years ago, and ever since, I have been pondering in my heart, What is the real Bethany? I don ' t pretend to have come up with an answer that would satisfy a philos- opher. But it occurs to me that there are three Bethanys, not the ones in Kansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia, but three Bethanys right here where we are, on this very Corridor: the one we attended, the one we think we at- tended, and the one that is here right now. The first of these is very hard to real- ize. It exists spottily, if it exists at all, in the College archives, in records of bills paid, in transcripts and in old newspa- pers and photographs and yearbooks, perhaps. But it does not exist in our memory. What does exist in our mem- ory is the Bethany we think we attend- ed, and it is almost certainly a different place from the one we actually attend- ed. All of us have rich stores of memo- ries about our private Bethanys, but if they were put to an objective test, they probably would not come out at all the same. Our memories are an effective filter that removes a lot of unpleasant- ness and a lot of ordinariness and en- hances the good things that made our college days memorable; but it changes the proportions and perspectives so that the resulting pictures, which we summon up with the greatest delight, are far removed from what we actually lived through. For most of us, this is the real Bethany, and it is the changes from this that we tend to resent when we find them. The third Bethany, the one about us now, is the most easily apprehended. For alumni, it is also sometimes the most distressing, because it differs so profoundly, as it seems, from the others, which most of us know bet- ter. Like Matthew Arnold, we want signs of perma- nence and we deplore the evidence of change. But, change there must be. For a college is not a museum: it is not a monu- ment to a moment frozen in the past, not a monument to a world that is dead and gone. It is, on the contrary, a vital, living thing, a grow- ing thing: and that, wheth- er we like it or not means a changing thing. It is all very well and proper for alumni to think of the College in terms of the college from which they graduated. But what would they have thought of that college if, when they graduated from it, it had been the college of 25 years previous? We all cherish the traditions of Alexander Campbell, but which of us would have 66- Campus Life wanted to attend a college without electricity, telephones, running water, inside toilets, women students and steam-heated classrooms? Yet certain- ly there was a time when Bethany was like that, and no one, 1 presume, takes exception to those changes. The fact is that if Bethany is going to continue to speak to a world whose children she wishes to educate, she has simply got to change with that world. No one but a ninny would argue that all changes are necessarily good; but who but a ninny would want the Bethany of shall we say, 1900 to be competing for today ' s high school students? We simply have to resign ourselves to change, whether we like it or not and not only to the changes that we can see about our- selves today, but to the changes that are yet to come which we cannot yet see. There are those, 1 suppose, who will see that our wish for the old Bethany and the need for a new one are irrecon- cilable opposites. Alumni who think this way generally make pretty medio- cre alumni, and the College has to learn to get along without them. But percep- tive alumni see things another way — the three Bethanys are not necessarily at war with each other, and, in fact, they harmonize with each other very well. I can explain what I mean by a simple reference to what the College, under President BuUard ' s inspired leadership, has been doing with this building — our beloved Old Main (and, as well, with the Irvin Gymnasium, now on the brink of becoming the Grace Phillips Johnson Fine Arts Center). All of us, I presume, have the very warm- est memories associated with classes taught by Mrs. Bourne, Miss Mahaffey, Dr. Booth, Dr. Gay, Dr. Shaw, Dr. Woolery, Miss Woods, Miss Carrigan, Miss Hoagland and many others in this building. When Old Main had got so decrepit and fire-prone that we could not legally use it, we might have pulled it down and built a thing of chrome and stainless steel and fluorescent lighting and air conditioning that would have had no memories at all attached to it. Instead, President BuUard, and before him President Tucker, undertook to re- store it, making it useful for teaching and learning in the 1980s and the 1990s and, please God, all through the 21st century, keeping as much as can be kept that speaks of the past, but using it for today and for tomorrow. Many of the rooms will be memorials — memorials to Miss Cammie Pendle- ton, to Miss Mahaffey, to Mrs. Bourne, to Prof. Roberts and others. But they will not be museums. We are not going to hang up on these walls Mrs. Bourne ' s feather boa and Mrs. Mahaf- fey ' s camisole. The rooms are going to be memorials to what made Bethany a vibrant memory to us all — a peculiar blend of devotion on the part of in- spired teachers to a lively concern for the subject matter they professed and a loving concern for the students they taught. That is what Bethany was about, is about, and, God being our helper, is going to continue to be about. It is the common thread that holds all three Bethanys together and makes of the three a continuing one. We used to have a song in this Col- lege that had for its refrain the words Oh, will old Bethany be the same. When a hundred years have rolled? Well, God help the college that is the same after a hundred years. But lucky as we are, we can have our cake and eat it, too: Bethany will change, as she always has changed, to serve a chang- ing world; but the things for which real Bethanians love this place are change- less and will endure. The light we sought is shining still. Our Tower ye( crowns the hill. A Tale ■67 Campus Life With the completion of Commencement Hall, a new drinking policy and a revised Origins class, came the Class of 1988. They were approxi- mately 267 strong and many upper- classmen recall commenting on the individuality: the class displayed. Statistically, they would seem like any other Bethany class of recent years with a few minor differences. To begin with there appeared an increase in the number of Disciples of Christ, the affiliated denomina- tion of Bethany. Yet, there were other differ- ences. Those who came in as fresh- men the fall of 1984 showed a UP CLOSE AND PERSON- AL — Rhett Bailey fools around outside the library.

One interesting thing to note is that for the first time in two years, some freshmen entered as intended theater majors. One should add that there was a dramatic increase in the number of students from West Virginia, But what of the impression the class made? Well, in talking to the RAs of that year, the word Wild came up a lot. The men were very original in their methods of gaining access to Phillips and the whole class showed prowess at getting away with infractions of the alcohol policy. The sophomores don ' t have to worry too much about those things now that they are upperclassmen, but they certainly have learned what second year ad- vantages there are. They have found that this is their year to have fun! %,■: 4. is ,:5«s« y i ■ 1 ■ tt im. SHAPIN ' UP Staying in shape is an important part of people ' s lives at Bethany and weightlifting is one of the most popular ways to do this. John Kelly from Canonsburg, PA exem- | plifies the sub-culture that meets at the fieldhouse every afternoon. 1 lift between 3 and 4 times a week, depend- ing on how I feel , Kelly said. Kelly started lifting as a junior at Canon-McMillian High School where he was an outstanding football player. He has played for the Bison team for the past two sea- sons, and says now that football is over, I basically lift to stay in shape and to keep a little bulk. Kelly is an Economics major and also plays racquet ball to stay in shape. Sophomoi « ■69 Student Lll« COMPS Senior Comprehensive Exams are more than just a graduation requirement, but instead represents the academic spirit of Beth- any. Four years of study are all brought together in some semb- lance of order as the student prepares for the exam. Bonnie Lorber, Senior Fellow of the Communications Department, described studying for Comps as very Dramatic , but added that, It was the worst thing I ' ve ever gone through. Comps are given in January and May and every senior must pass them in order to graduate. The test consists of two days of written questions and a one hour oral exam with two professors from the stu- dent ' s department and another professor asking the student questions about his major. Most Departments hold the Oral exams in academic buildings such as Cochran, but the English Department distinguishes itself by holding the interviews at Dr. Grimes ' house over iced-tea and cookies. Orals can range from intense to relaxed, but the end of the hour is always marked by a jubilant celebration. Of course, if the student happens to do so well as to earn distinction, the celebration is even more exuberant. 1 DID IT! — Kim Ashbaugh is ready to party after getting through Orals. POP! — Bonnie Lorber lets loose after passing Com- munication Comps. RIUNITE ON ICE — French major Chris Enright celebrates with Maria Dracopolis after Orals.

VIVA LA VIN — Cory Henneman, Chris Ham- mond, Laurie Gay, and Todd Horton celebrate Halloween in Paris. Bethany College ' s Semester Abroad, although required of all foreign language majors, is open to any Bethany College student fulfilling the necessary requirements. In terms of academic advantages, stu- dents attend classes at foreign universi- ties given in the language of that coun- try, thereby improving their proficien- cy in that language. Students interested in French attend the Sor- bonne in Paris. Students of Spanish en- roll at the University of Madrid, and those interested in German head for the University of Tubingen. Students, however learn more than can ever be reflected in a grade. Being submerged in a foreign culture affords the opportunity to learn more of that culture and its people. Interestingly, there is much anti-American sentiment abroad, and Cat Morris saw several anti-American demonstrations in Ma- drid. The experiences and academic knowledge obtained in just one semes- ter abroad is immeasurable in worth to a student. In addition to increased lan- guage proficiency, the student returns with a broader knowledge of the world as well as a deeper understanding of himself. Those going abroad include: Cory Henneman, Chris Hammond, Todd Horton, Barb Fusciello, Lisa Schmitt (Paris), Cat Morris (Madrid), Kim Alex- ander and Cathy Vukovich (Germany). It ' s amazing what you learn about your country by separating yourself from it Cat Morris SEMESTER ABROAD Semester Abroad Campus Life ■71 Bethanians near and far followed Country Roads home to Bethany on October 11 for the start of a memorable Homecoming Weekend. On Friday night Pure Prairie League entertained alumni and students with some of their famous songs including Amy. Many alumni, especially from the Class of 1985, returned and Bethany was happy to welcome home her sons and daugh- ters. On Saturday, the five Queen candidates and their escorts were treated to a ride in a horse-drawn carriage to the field where the Bisons trounced John Carroll University. At half time, the five candidates were escorted on to the field where Sherri Wood, an English Religion major from Charlotte, North Carolina, was crowned Queen. Later, many private parties were held before the dance which was held at the Benedum Commons where the De Crustaceans provided the dance music.

Bid Day hosted a myriad of parties after the freshmen received their bids and ran to their new houses to be greeted by their new brothers or sisters. The Hill was alive with chants and screams and tears as the sororities welcomed the new girls. Meanwhile, downtown, the fraternities were welcoming their pledges in their own way. Certainly not a day to be soon forgotten. AL - FUZZY BEAR HUG — Kelly Stoner gives her new Alpha Xi sister a welcome em- brace. GIMME A Z . .

Bid Day Campus Life 77 At Matriculation in late August 1983, the Class of 1987 heard some statistics about them- selves. These included the fact that more students were from Pennsylvania than any one other state and although that was a drop in numbers from the year before, there was a comprable in- crease in West Virginian students. In addition, there were a very high num- ber of intended Economics and Com- munication majors. The more than 230 students found themselves getting in over the drinking age (19) by means of a grandfather clause and they were the last class to have sat, for registration, in the old Commencement Hall. They were also the guinea pigs, so to speak, for the Origins class and the only class since to have been made to watch Waiting for Godot in its entirety! But, one event that marked the class of 1987 ' s arrival was the quick change of an extremely hot day into a storm which knocked out all the lights on cam- pus. The juniors got to know each oth- er, perhaps even more intimately than most other first days, in the pitch black. The band for the traditional Get Ac- quainted Party couldn ' t plug in their instruments and the ice cream melted. But, that hasn ' t deterred the Class of ' 87. The students, now juniors, can be found involved all over Bethany. They play parts in the media, the sports, and the leadership positions including the Resident Assistants staff, S.B.O.G., and the student court. This class is now finding themselves in the final stretch of their college careers and can be found looking forward to their senior year and beyond. Yet, the Class of 1987 is far from being socially de- prived — they know how to party. Although this leaves no stereotypical description, it provides a very well rounded class.

SEMP All of the overblown, ridiculous and unbelievable horror stories con- cerning Marine Corps Training are true, says Don Ross who is Beth- any ' s student expert on the Ma- rines. Ross, an English major from Pittsburgh, is enrolled in the Offi- cers Candidates School of the Ma- rines which is known as OCS. His particular class is that of Platoon Leader which suits students who wish to carry out their evaluation and screening during the summers between their freshman and senior years in college. There are two six week courses which must be com- pleted successfully within those three summers, but the courses may not be taken in one specific summer. The OCS is not to be considered a training course, but rather as an op- portunity for the student {known as Candidates while at the OCS), to make a fair judgement as to wheth- er he wants to be a full time Marine as well as allowing the OCS staff tc8 make a fair decision about the po- J tential officers. There is no commit- ;; ment until college graduation and :; the Candidate may drop out at any time with no penalty. Upon graduation from Beth- any, Ross said, I will receive my; Second Lieutenant ' s bar and leave; this campus a newly commissionedl, Marine Corps officer on my way to six years of active service in the most elite branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. Campus Life It ' s easy in the West Virginia hills that sur- round Bethany for Bethanians to get caught up in their own little world and indeed, stu- dents are sometimes heard saying things that indicate they feel isolated from world events. Yet, some things that occurred in ' 85- ' 86 affect- ed Bethanians greatly and these two pages ex- amine just a few of those happenings.

Classes were cancelled and the first inclination of many was to roll over and get some more sleep. But, for the brave it meant snow sculpture time! The activities started with snow sculpture and ended with an all campus dance.

Renner Union programming board got Marshall Crenshaw to rock the field house with hits such as Cyni- cal Girl, while The Jets of Crush on You fame entertained the masses Sat- urday night. In the afternoon on Saturday a pic- nic was held in Old Main Quad which was enlivened by a mime, a comic, and caricature artists. One student, Laurie Gay, claimed that the best part was being harassed by the mime in the cafeteria. But, no matter what people thought was the best part, Renner Union programming board ' s Don ' t Go Home Without It weekend was a big success.

Light. Okay, it isn ' t a Joseph Conrad tale, but it is a Regatta experience. This year ' s Re- gatta was held on April 27. It was great weather although there were spots that required some leg work (i.e. picking up the raft over rocks), but the crews did not seem to mind.

MAY MORNING Once again, May Morning Breakfast proved to be a warm and greatly appreciated event for the women of the campus. Faith Daniels, anchor of CBS Morning News, spoke to her audience about the benefits and the struggles of being a woman in the fast-paced area of Communications. Most importantly Mrs. Daniels warned about sexual discrimination and advised to present yourself as a worker rather than a woman. Kathleen Baker, a senior biology major, said, Even though it was out of my field of interest, I found Faith Daniels ' speech very interesting. I ' m glad I came. May Morning Breakfast is a way for the women of Bethany to honor their graduat- ing seniors. For some women the best part of the breakfast was being waited on by men. At Commencement, Mrs. Daniels re- ceived an honorary doctorate and is an alumni of whom Bethany should be proud. Faith Daniels is a positive role model and a definite success story.

Controversy Surrounds Blockade Bethany — Live Aid, Farm Aid, Aids Aid and now . . , Blockade. Bethany Col- lege has joined those money raising (?) musical galas with its very own version. Initiated by the Flow Guys, a group of men who live in a house known by the locals as Overflow; Blockade somehow stood apart from its predecessors. To begin with, for some reason, it made no profits. The ex- perts suggest that ' s because most of the money went into supplying kegs for the thirsty crowd that showed up to support the bands that played, also there was no admission charge. The reason for Blockade? That too is something which in the aftermath of the day is still being speculated. It seemed a combination of many things, but the end result was just a lot of fun. As with the other aid concerts of late, the big bands are what attracted the crowds. On this day. May 3 from 2-9pm, such bands as The Fugitives, Mad Matt and the Bad Attitudes, You, Me, and Him, and Doug and the Dead Partridge Family came to do their part. That they did with the mixture of rock, folk, and from Doug and company some punk music. Although U2 was unable to come, Mai Helme took charge saying, There ' s been a lot of talk about this next song, maybe, maybe too much talk. This song is not a rebel song, this song is ' Rebel Rebel ' The crowd went wild. Despite the controversy as to the funds getting where they are supposed to (wherever that is), Blockade was a success.

Taylor, professor of English. Mr. Taylor is known by some students as a demanding taskmaster and by oth- ers as a kind, witty gentleman not quite reconciled to the 20th century, but he ' s known by all. Mr. Taylor came to Bethany from Darkest Akron as a freshman in 1941 and because of World War II, was graduated as part of an accelerated program in 1944. The years after graduation were spent first at Prince- ton where he earned a Master ' s De- gree, and then at Ohio Northern, the University of Kansas, The University of Nebraska where he taught. In 1955, he came back to Bethany to teach be- Miss Lisa Campanell. Lec- turer, West Liberty Mr. James Carty, Prof, of Communications. North- western Univ.

Prof, of Econ., Bus., Univ. of Connecticut 94 Faculty Academia cause he says that From the moment I saw the place, I was determined to spend the rest of my life here. He cites other reasons for returning to his alma mater, including his notion that this was the place where the people who taught me were, and his desire to be a part of the fellowship and tradition that Bethany offered. First hired to teach bone-head English, Mr. Taylor has since progressed to being a Shake- speare scholar and an expert in other areas of British Literature. In addition, he has taught in other departments in- cluding Fine Arts, Foreign Language, and History. Mr. Taylor ' s contributions to the community of Bethany are numerous. He serves as editor of the Daily Blat. the faculty news sheet, and as such, he always seems to be in the midst of a controversy with other faculty mem- bers. He makes sure that all is well in the cafeteria, and woe to him that tries to hang a sign in an inappropriate place. Mr. Taylor has sung in the Beth- any Memorial Church Choir for years and he is also an accomplished harpsi- chordist, as visitors to Ashbourne , his house, can attest to. Also the Ash- bourn Hour , Mr. Taylor ' s classical music show of WVBC has always de- lighted its listeners. These are just a few examples of why Mr. Taylor is im- portant to Bethany. Perhaps the most exciting effort Mr. Taylor makes is the Oxford semester. Every other fall semester, Mr. Taylor and about twenty Bethany students mi- grate to the City of Dreaming Spires for 3 months of Shakespeare, British History, British Novel, travel and Eng- lish living. The Program was started in 1972 after Mr. Taylor spent a summer in England and discovered That Ox- ford is a suburb of Heaven. The time abroad is a magical time for the stu- dents, and Mr. Taylor is right at home. He won ' t hesitate to tell his class of his invitations to dine at the High Table of Christ Church, a great honor in any- one ' s book. Bethany is truly fortunate that Mr. Taylor chooses to call Bethany home. Those students who have known him well will always remember his some- times brusque manner in class, his bit- ing wit, but most of all his love for Beth- any and the people who live here. Dr. J.U.

These are the words which hang majestically over the desk of Dr. Albert J. Ossman, Jr., chairman of the Politics and Public Poli- cy department at Bethany College. Translated from the Latin, The words mean, Do better than your best. No words better typify this long- time edu- cator who always seems to bring out the best in his students both in depart- ment and those with other majors. He is a dedicated educator and academi- cian who always puts the needs of the students as his first priority. Dr. Ossman received his undergrad- uate. Masters Degree, and Doctorate from the Maxwell school at Syracuse University in upstate New York. His graduate and Doctorate program com- bined work in three fields; political sci- ence, economics, and Geography.

Upon receiving his doctorate, Dr. Ossman began his career as an educa- tor and academician at his alma mater. At Syracuse, he taught a required freshman course called Citizenship, un- til moving on to Chatam College in Pittsburgh where he taught from 1957 to 1968. It was during his tenure at Chatam when Dr. Ossman first became acquainted with Bethany College. In 1968, he left Chatam to teach at a small private college in New York called Eisenhower College. The college was new, and due to enrollment and financial troubles, closed its doors in 1981. However, even before the col- lege had considered closing. Dr. Oss- man moved on to Rochester Institute of Technology where he conducted devel- opment work for the school during 1980-1981. In 1981, Dr. Ossman entered gov- ernment at the national level. For near- ly a year, he worked for the White House under the Reagan Administra- tion. During his time with the White House he served as a consultant to the Assistant to President for Manage- ment, and also as Assistant to the Di- rector of the Office of administration at the White House. He helped to reorga- nize the Office of Administration, and increased its effectiveness and efficien- cy. After deciding to leave government. Dr. Ossman came to Bethany in 1982 when the job as head of the depart- ment came open. At Bethany, he serves on the curriculum, budget, ex- ternal affairs, and compact commit- tees, which are vital to the operation of the college. After four years here, he is very impressed with the school, saying The students at Bethany are as good as or better than any students that 1 have had anywhere; it is nice to teach at a school with such a long and valu- able tradition as we have here. Dr. Ossman has proved to be a valu- able asset to the Bethany College com- munity. He is a tribute to higher educa- tion, as shown by his dedication and concern for his students and the college as a whole. His students go on to the best graduate and law schools in the country, and many find jobs as public servants, and with the private sector. From all of us to you, Thank You, Dr. Ossman. br. Helen L.

Personal achievement was the cor- nerstone of motivation for Coach John McGowan ' s harriers. The striders are only losing one senior and with several returning letter winners, the 1987 version of the Bi- son C.C. team could lead to much more success. Front row; S. Tomczyk, Coach J.

The Bethany Water Polo club was a group of guys who met at the pool for a couple of hours each day to learn and play the game. Most of the members had never played the sport, but, under the leadership of senior Dave Tucker, all were able to learn the sport and become compcti- MERMAN — Freshman Eric Johnson loosens up before a match.

With a front line of Tucker, Peter Sorenson, Eric John- son, and Pete Wieboldt, the swimmers were able to face the Denison team. The Bethany club came on strong in the second half of the game, as players like Jim Tomko, Dave Douglas, and Ed Baney swam hard to tire the D enison team. Although undermanned, the men participated in their first tournament in a few years. With most of the players being underclass- men, the water polo club will appear to be a force in the future. — « i ■e i ' ' - mlKi-iS : ' , . ;f) ;,ft §v Front row: T. Nemec, B. Lorber.

Plagued by injuries, the Men ' s Basketball team did not have a very successful season. Senior Frank Yankovich led the team in scoring and won several PAC honors, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Bisons over the .500 mark.

The future does look bright however, with play- ers such as first baseman Rfi |i ' , Bob Bloder, a sophomore, and John Aguiar, a fresh- man.
