From the start of fall se- mester until the end in May; whether freshmen or seniors; a communications major or a physics major — we were on the move and getting involved. With the start of classes and the organization of most clubs, we crammed for exams and term papers while running from one meeting to another, trying to meet deadlines. i ii I .

The Freshmen enjoyed their taste of freedom while the upperclassmen got a chance to relax by partying and going to the various social events on campus. We attended plays — hardly realizing the countless hours of hard work put into a single performance. After a break at Christmas, some of us returned to face the question of remaining independent or going Greek. The Bison football team charges onto the field to face W J in the Homecoming game. Jeni Henrickson and Karen McConahy spent many extra hours rehearsing for their roles in The Dining Room.

Theme Opening On The Go . . . . . . at Bethany. We moved from the cold, snowy weather into warm spring days. We had classes outside and spent free time soaking in the sun at Bethany Beach. It seemed like we had more to do than ever, hut we managed to get things done in the end. A crew from B G plants some trees in the Quad as a part of the new landscaping pro- gram.

Thanks to the hard work of Renner Union Pro- gram Board, we saw Gene Cotton return as well as Homecoming and Spring Weekend concerts. We went to parties on weekends — whether they were mixers with other housing units or all-campus — we were there. In short, whether we went to a practice or a Student Life. picnic, we were On The Go in Seniors race to the cafeteria after i a rainy Founder ' s Day service in Commencement Hall.

Karen McConahy playfully blows some bubbles outside of Steinman Hall. Student Life Divider Theater Bethany Theater has long been a welcomed source of en- tertainment for students and faculty alike. This year was no exception. The eight major pro- ductions, along with several stu- dent-directed one act plays, of- fered Bethanians numerous opportunities to enjoy the trag- edy, comedy, and drama of the- ater as presented by their peers. Dr. David Judy, Pedro Cues- ta, and Dr. Gary Kappel were instrumental in the preparation and presentation of these plays. Without their effort and sup- port, the actors and managers would have definitely had a difficult time maintaining the high quality of Bethany The- ater. All involved should be commended on another sea- son of fine productions. Some of the plays performed in- cluded The Dining Room, The Prisoner of Second Avenue, Baby with the Bathwater, The House by the Stable, Miss Margarida ' s Way, Al- pha Psi Omega Cabaret The- ater, and Anyone can Whis- tle. The cast of Baby with the Bathwater made the play humorous and entertaining for the audience. Jeni Henrickson and Rondell Meeks proved to be valuable actors for the Fine and Applied Arts department. 10 Theater Student Life Performing in the first play oftheyear. ' The Dining Room ' are Melissa Purdy and Eric Seller. Ed Baney, Melissa Purdy, El Still and Eric Seller took part in Bethany ' s Christmas play entitled, The House by the Stable. Baby with the Bathwater was amusing for ail who attended as Tom Campbell, Kristen Clark, Jeni Henrickson, and Rondell Meeks illustrate.

During the weekend of October 9-11, alumni and students were reminded of the treasures of Beth- any and all gathered to attend the events that took place throughout the memorable three days. Friday night began with Greek and inde- pendent open houses to welcome back their alums and continued with a concert by The Produc- ers in the Alumni Field House. Saturday began bright and early with the Beta Theta Pi Dr. Kenney 5- K Memorial Run. The afternoon was filled with many athletic events ranging from Women ' s Volleyball, Field Hockey, Men ' s and Women ' s Soc- cer, and Bison Football. John Cunningham was honored during the day with the observance of the 20th anniversary of soccer at Bethany and his coaching career. Dr. Perry Gresham and his wife, Aleece, were also honored for their many years of con- tribution to Bethany. At halftime of the football game, Denise Fishburn, a communications major from Laurel Springs, NJ, was crowned Homecoming Queen 1987. At the an- nouncement of her name, the 3rd annual Phi Mu Bal- loon Ascension began. Over 600 balloons were launched from the field into the clear, blue sky. The evening ended with the Homecoming Dance in honor of the Queen and her court. Bethany students danced to the sounds of Modern Man. By the end of the weekend, the alumni had instilled in us, the stu- dents, their own devoted feelings toward Bethany and helped us appreciate our school even more.

The many formals cre- ated an atmosphere of good cheer, as we dressed up and enjoyed the food and music before cramming for finals. The many fraternity and so- rority formals were held during the first two weeks of December. Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Tau held theirs on December 4th, while Phi Mu and Alpha Xi Delta chose December 5th. How- ever, Kappa Delta, Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha, Zeta Tau Delta, Alpha Sig- ma Phi, and Delta Tau Del- ta made December 11th the most popular evening for formals. In addition to these, Bethany offered a Freshman Formal on December 5th, featuring D.J.s from WOVE, and an All-Campus Formal on December 12th. The band 1964 was the highlight of the latter and all Beatlemaniacs packed the dance floor to demonstrate their best Beatle imitations. All in all, the 1987 Christ- mas season was one of the most entertaining this cam- pus has seen and undoubt- edly created many memories that will not soon be for- gotten. TTjis crowd knows there ' s more to formals than dancing, but they ' re not sure what. Maybe they ' ll find out if they hang around the bar a little longer. Danny and Shaggy take a break from the fast-paced dancing. They proved to be true Beatle fans throughout the evening. 14 Christmas Student Life Christmas and J-Tcrm TTie All-Campus formal gave Denise Snyder, Joelle Blaho and Jotene Ash- craft a chance to show Bethanians their beautiful Christmas attire. Wendy and Dave take advantage of a slow song during the campus Christmas Formal. Passing comprehensive exams is a big part of J-Term for seniors. Here, Beth Benatti is ready to celebrate with some help from Lisa Calderaro. These party freshmen are definitely enjoying their formal. The FAC-aponsored dance was a great success. Many students choose to complete their intercultural practicum over J-Term. On the left. Cathy Gabor hosts Beth Benatti and shows her some sights of San Francisco, including the Golden Gate Pork. J-Term Student Life 15 Bid Day ' 88 After the pressures and tensions of formal rushing were over came Bid Day ' 88. The day of celebration was for the ten Greek housing units on campus and approximately 140 freshmen and transfers who received their bids. Although the procedures seemed a bit scary for some prospective pledges, they all agreed that it was worth the wait and very exciting.

Day Perry Gresham Day 1988 was held once again with a parade through the town and campus in honor of Perry Gresham. Independents from the different housing units participated as Bethany was trans- formed from the ' 80 ' s into the ' 60 ' s. Cars were dec- orated as well as banners and marchers in traditional tie-dyed clothing. Considered a big event for the in- dependents, Perry Gresham Day was once again a success. Students jump on the band wagon as they ride decorated cars through campus. The banners lead the parade as marchers are decked out in ' 60 ' s attire. Students, cars, and floats make up the traditional pa- rade which goes down Main Street and through the cam- pus.

The Knight Kaps, a band featuring ' 50s and ' 60s music, performing for parents and students Friday night in Renner Too. Phi Mu sponsored a craft sale on Saturday. Saturday evening began with Greek Sing at 7 p.m. in Commencement Hall. Each sorority and several fraternities performed. Kappa Delta led by Kristen Clark won with its songs My Wish for You, and Always Think of Kay Dee. Of the fraternities competing. Phi Kappa Tau was the winner. Led by Eric Seller and Eric Johnston, they sang One Voice and In the Name of Phi Kappa Tau. The Phi Taus presented Sophomore Missy Ondrick with their Outstanding Freshman Girl Award, based on G.P.A. and personality. Following Greek Sing, at 9 p.m., was Talent Tonight, in Wailes Theater. Fifteen acts participated and presented a show to a standing-room-only crowd. During Greek Sing, Zeta performs its rendition of Turn, Turn, Turn. Parent ' s WeekendyStudent Life One important facet at Bethany is undoubtedly the social scene. Although the all-campus parties are a thing of the past, we still have to do our best in order to have a good time while remaining within the con- straints of the law. This year, themes ranged from the Phi Tau Phi Mu Luau, to the KA Goldfish Party, to the Beta Toga Party, to name only a few. How could we ever forget Belt ' s Heaven and Hell, Sigma Nu ' s Bowery Brawl, KA ' s Pimp and Whore, Beta ' s Fall Ball, or all the Hagerman Late-nights? This year was definitely fun for everyone — even the under-21 crowd! Cheryl Toy, John Crisp, Julie Amatangelo, Gina Mediate, and Amanda Cooper are in Heaven . . . or is it Hell at Delt ' s annual Heaven and Hell party.

Twice this year, Red Cross volunteers made us realize how simple and painless it is to draw a pint or so of blood out of a healthy donor. Although we ' re a small town, and a little squeamish, Bet hany definitely has heart (not to mention a great supply of blood). With the support and encouragement from Dr. John Hull, head of the psychology department, we once again donated record amounts to this worthy organ- ization. This Red Cross volunteer offers a few words of encouragement before she draws blood. Scott Wilcox expresses a smile of relief — the needle wasn ' t really that bad. 22 Blood Drive Student Life FOREIGN LANGUAGE DAY These Delta display a wide range of articles for sale. It happens every spring. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DAY! The day when approximately 1300 high school students invade Bethany campus chit-chatting in Spanish, French, and German. The competition seems to grow every year, and also gives clubs and organizations the opportunity to sell anything from hot dogs to T-shirts. This boost in the Bethany econ- omy is definitely welcomed by the debt-ridden clubs, but for the rest of us, well, let ' s just say it ' s an experience we won ' t soon forget. ;• ■- ■ h -[x Instead of going from door to door, the Kappa Deltas made their customers come to them this time.

Spring Weekend was two days of fun, food and fantastic weather. Dean Darlene Nicholson and the Renner Union Programming Board combined the Roman- tics, the Regular Boys, Southern Pacific, and the Dynamic Steel Band under the blue and white striped circus tent that became a familiar sight from April 29th to May 1st. There were free photo buttons, comedian Wayne Cotter, local bands, caricatures, miniature golf, and picnics offered (not to mention the infamous food fight ). The numerous ath- letic games such as lacrosse and soccer, gave Bethanians ample opportunity to get out and enjoy West Virginia ' s beautiful springtime atmosphere. Without a doubt, this spring weekend was one of the best in recent years. Its broad range of entertainment had something for everyone and a little left over for those who loved it all.  This caricature artist delighted and interested many students with his depictions of the crowd. Bethanians enjoy a game of volleyball just outside the tent. 24 Walter takes advantage of the lovely weather and strikes up a game of Softball for additional entertainment. When the food fight broke out, some students decided to take refuge outside where they could breathe a little easier. The 41st annual May Morning Breakfast to honor the senior women was held on May 7 in the Benedum Commons. Sponsored by the Panhellenic Council, the opening prayer was given by Kim Sandford and the Senior Toast was presented by Outstanding Junior Women Enid Cobb and Cathy Gabor to start the event. After a breakfast feast of fresh strawberries, pecan rolls, eggs, ham, and toast, Debbie O ' Dell Sen- eca — an attorney from Washington, PA — gave an inspiring speech for the women. Once again, Bethany men were called upon to serve the breakfast and Perry Pritchard provided music on the piano. The Aleece C. Gresham Leadership Award was presented to Vicki Hill, a senior from Monroeville, PA. Jackie Lind and Kathy Caldwell anxiously await the serving of breakfast. ' .N Enid Cobb, Cathy Gabor, and Mrs. Bullard are just a few of the honorees at the head table.

The top award for Outstanding Senior went to two this year — Bob Coffield and Maleah Rhodes. Tom Campbell was named Outstanding Junior Man and Enid Cobb and Cathy (iabor were the recipients of the Outstanding Junior Woman award. Cathy was surprised by her mother who flew in from California for the pres- entation. The Anna Ruth Bourne and W. Kirk Woolery Awards for high scholarship went to Kappa lOelta for the 10th consecutive semester and to Beta Theta Pi, marking a big jump from last semester. All in all, it was a day not to be forgotten by seniors, parents, and friends of those honored. Father Pat takes a breather after the Honors Day cere- monies.

At Bethany, indoor soccer is a team-run sport whose season lasts for a little over two months at the end of winter. Besides the players from the varsity team, the team consists of players from some of Bethany ' s other sports and those who have never competed at the college level. The rules for indoor soccer at Bethany in most respects are the same as for the Major Indoor Soccer League. For exam- ple, there are no throw-ins and no height limitations. The 1988 season consisted of about eight tournaments. Some of them were Malone College, the West Virginian Wes- leyan Classic, the Cleveland Force Tour- ney (Bethany brought home a second place). Wheeling College Invitational, and one at Alderson-Broaddus. This year the hooters also planned a tournament at Bethany to bring recognition to the col- lege. Way To Go The K-Ball team at Bethany is more or less a j-v soccer team. They seem to play more for the enjoyment of the game than for winnings and records. These hooters consist of mem- bers from the freshman through senior class. They play many of the same opponents as the varsity players. An in- teresting side note of this year ' s team is their diversity. One time some of our players played for the opponent because the other team was short players. I 1 According to Se- nior Kosmas Mouratidis, the 1988 Indoor Soc- cer s eason could be summed up by the following quote: Our team was screamin! K-Ball — Indoor Soccer Sports When The Gong Gets Tough The 1987 Varsity Swim Team had its share of problems this sea- son, but they never let them get in the way of good competition. The team suffered some tough blows — small in size; they lost some good swimmers to graduation; and they had to do without some of their leaders during January Term. These things never stopped the Bi- son. There existed this great en- thusiasm for top performance. Throughout some tough defeats, individuals glowed with great tal- ent. Some set personal best records while others challenged school and PAC records. The team, however, pulled together when they needed to. I I I I ICE I jr I 1 X X Going In Style Always putting forth one hundred per cent effort, the Bethany Whalers skated to a respectable season record of 4-9. Having a season running for four months, the Whalers endured many tough contests against such opponents as West Liberty, WVU, and Wheeling College. The team contti 4t d of mostly juniors and seniors and these members were Andy Offield. Andy Maerkline, Mario LeMieux Schiffer. John Hauber. Sean Thompson, Sandy Gove, Paul Houston, Eric Gast, Jeff P isher. Don McKay. Eric Morgan, Gunther Shumann and Graeme Tanner. During the season, the Whalers experienced an exhilarating win against Wheeling College (8-3) and also suffered a heartbreaking loss at 24-3 against West Liberty. As the season came to a close, playoff battle proved to be difficult, but some outstanding players were recognized for their accomplishments. The leading scorers were G. Tanner. A. Maerkline, and S. Gove. The people with the most penalties were G. Schumann and J. Hauber. Junior Gove summed up the season with hi s feelings about the team: With the loss of the Canadian Connection, the Bethany Whalers were not the same as always. Usually faced against enumerable odds, the Whalers were beaten by score, but won physically. irra Karolee Yorko poses for an un- derwater shot. ■ i i i i Ik I fc The attitude is up-beot.

One of their most impressive wins was the Shppery Rock Invitational Tournament. The Woodchucks defeated teams from Cumber- land, MD and Millersville, PA to walk away with the tourney championship. Chris Bobbitt, the team ' s player-coach, summed up his feelings about the season by saying, We won a majority of our games and had fun doing it. The Wood- chucks will be losing Ted Merlino, Tim DiMar- tino, Glen Hetherington, Tom Roberts, Chris Bobbitt, John Humphrey, and Alex Cameron to graduation. WOMEN ' S LAX The women ' s lacrosse team, often referred to as the Woodchicks by their counterpart the Woodchucks, forged their way to a victory with a season record of 1-1-2. The team captains were Amy Geary and Sue Hurwitz. They encouraged many new players to undertake the physical sport. The team ' s sole victory was against Al- legheny. Hurwitz summed up the season as say- ing, It was nice this year because we recruited a lot of dedicated girls who learned quickly and played hard. The Woodchicks will lose Sue Hurwitz, Amy Geary, Beth Thomas, Jen Gruesser and Kristin Lusk to graduation. 1t was Q crime tnof our seosorThod to end so early, because we were all coming together toward the end . . . Sandy Gove GOING FULL SWING The 1988 Bethany College Golf team was plagued by an inconsistent season. This was due in part to the fact that certain individuals would do well in one tournament but not well in another. However, there were some bright days. The team won in both duel matches against CMU and W J. In fact, sophomore Darrell Teubner was the medalist in the CMU tourney while junior Sandy Gove took this honor in the W J tourney. The six top Beth- any Golfers will be returning next year and are looking forward to another fine season. STATS 34 Lax — Golf Sports TOURNAMENT Glenville West Liberty Muskingdom PACInv.

Coach Jon Forsty PROGRESS Pride was the cry heard most often by the Lady Bison Softball Team during the 1988 season, and it was this pride that was instrumental to their success. With an abundance of inexperienced players and half of the team in the training room nursing injuries through- out the season, there was an uphill bat- tle to be fought. The team ' s captains Missy Goodrich and Kathy Yettito along with the other experienced up- perclassmen provided support for the girls just learning the ins and outs of organized competition. The coaching staff — Head Coach Jan Forsty and assistant coaches Sue Fadse and Paul Hermeling led the Lady Bison. Forsty stated that progression was key to the development of the Bi- son team. She added in the beginning of the season that, We ' re learning from our mistakes game-by-game and start- ing to come together. The progress was sometimes slow , but the Lady Bison fought hard for their record throughout the entire season.

SpjSGBr Sports Nee ' 41 Ik iTr A i ii iPk Bragging Rights Meant Everything. A I r READY TO GO Intramurals became a very active part of Bethany ' s extracurriculars during the 1987-88 collegiate year. Under the supervision of Steve Redrop and Coach Joe Zalacca, the Bethany intramural system thrived. The schedule of intramural events went as follows. First, the different housing units could form as many teams as they had players. The housing unit could be either independent or Greek. After the teams were formed, games were played. This was considered a regular season. It was during this regular season that girls ' housing units challenged other girls ' housing units and guys ' played guys ' . Then there were tournaments. The only thing at stake in these tournaments were bragging rights, but this meant everything. All of the teams played with such vigor and enthusiasm that one ' would think the prize for winning was a gold medal. The end result of these games was the comaraderie created between housing units. The sporting activities ranged from football to ping-pong. The students participated in intramural Softball, basketball and pocket billiards. Other sports included volleyball, golf and soccer. Bragging rights were earned by such housing united as Phi Mu (football and volleyball), Sigma Nu (football) and Beta A (basketball). With such a good foundation for Bethany intramurals this year, the students are set and ready to go in continuing the program in the years to come. ir ' i.

The team started out with an impressive tie, 17-17, with Capital Univer- sity on a last-second touch- down pass, but unfortunately that was the closest the Bison came to a victory all year. The next week the Bison fought tooth and nail with Duquesne before being felled 10-5. The next seven weeks saw the Bison being blown out to end the sea- son with a disappointing 0-8-1 record. Despite the poor record, the Bison did have some individ- uals earn PAC honors: Curt Neel and Jim Stokes earned second team honors, while Bill Campbell, Kurt Kostur, Paul Milinkovich, Wayne Zelinsky, and Dan Reilly earned honor- able mentions.

After achieving a winning record in 1987. the 1988 edition of the Bison baseball team was expected to do even better. Eight starters were to return, as well as the team ' s two best pitchers — sophomore Tom Jingoli and Chris Rice. Some uncontrollable factors prevented the team from playing up to it ' s capabilities. Two starters transferred and Head Coach Jim Meyer left to take a coaching position at Ken- yon College in Ohio. As late as February the team was wondering if it even had a coach. Bill Weller, last year ' s assistant coach, stepped in to fill Meyer ' s shoes. Though a disappointing season overall, sev- eral bright spots did shine through. Freshman Erik Gast batter over .400 as the team ' s DH. Junior Mike Duplaga was the best defensive catcher in the conference. The other players on the team added to Mike and Erik and made a fine Bison team that will remember the season for the second game of the St. Vincent double header.

They went 5-0 in conference play and 13- 3 in regular play. This made Bethany ' s ninth year in a row for winning the PAC crown. It was also the 18th time overall that the PAC crown has set on top the hooters ' head.

The Bush campaign was too much of an overwhelming force for the other Republican candidates to contend with. Sen. Robert Dole ' s hope for the Presidency was de- cisively crushed on Super Tuesday, as Bush swept the South. By April, Vice President George Bush had cashed in enough of his political chips to become the premier Re- publican candidate for President. Staunch conservative Republicans, such as Jack Kemp and Pat Rob- ertson, saw their Presidential hopes dwindle after each primary. Indeed, the GOP in its orderly and predictable fashion, had already provided their presidential hopeful with overwhelming consent for VP Bush. The Democrats seemed to com- ply well with Will Rogers ' old ad- age, I don ' t belong to any organ- ized political party — I ' m a Democrat. Jesse Jackson drasti- cally changed the shape of the ' 88 Democratic campaign.

We spent three hours a night and usually six hours on weekends calling registered vot- ers. If these voters were unsure of who they would support, we would mail them personal letters contain- ing information on important is- sues. We also attended rallies for the debates in Durham, N.H. Also, many of us spent a lot of time setting up and arranging im- portant activities that involved the presidential candidate or a person who represented or supported him. We learned many things from this experience that helped us to understand the political world bet- ter. But, I think that I can sum up how we all felt in one quote: if our candidate makes it to the national convention, then we have a chance to express our issues and, hope- fully, we can change the face of the western world. Magazine 55 Foreign Mutts Dog attack at West Lib library hy Sharon Crow Is it my imagination or did the dogs in Bethany grow since last year? When I was a freshman, there were tons of the Httle ankle- nippers; now there are a select few large canines . . . every time I see one I ' m reminded of an incident last year. When doing a paper for Dr. Grimes ' Intro to Lit class, I had one of my friends drop me off at the West Lib library (they have books that haven ' t been taken out since 1956). It was a Sunday and I accidently got there two hours ear- ly. Since it was a fairly nice fall day, I decided to sit on the library ' s porch and do some studying. No sooner than was I settled (and writ- ing a letter), I was officially greeted by a large, smelly mutt. He sniffed at my books, then went over to his blanket — obviously a guard dog of some sort.

Engrossed in my writing (about how gross the dog was) I managed to avoid the many stares I received from gawking passers-by. Shortly thereafter (once I started high- lighting a chapter in my Intro to Mass Comm book), another large dog (a cross between Lassie and an Irish Wolfhound), arrived on the porch. Obnoxiously, he bit the cap off of my yellow Crayola marker and began ferociously grinding it between his jaws. Fearing that he would choke and puke on me, I moved a few feet away. No sooner had he settled down (to dream of Magic Markers, no doubt), than Mutt 3 made his presence known. He meandered out from the side of the library, a scraggly thing smaller than my two porch bud- dies. As he strolled across the lawn, Gramps and Junior (the porch oc- cupants) bared their teeth, bristled their fur, and leapt off the porch U chase the new guy. They caught uj with him, and a dog fight ensued Arf! Arfl Grrr and RRRRR ' were some of their favorite words Gramps and Junior were victorioui — the new guy wandered off thd scene.

Magazine 57 Going ' ' Home a freshman ' s first J-term by Jeannette Moninger Christmas break: a well-deserved rest from the hectic college life of reading, lectures and exams. After successfully completing my first se- mester as a college freshman, I found myself (and the rest of Har- lan Hall) rejoicing at the thought of some R R to be spent at home, away from these new friends who were getting a little testy and whose presence was rapidly start- ing to bother me. Indeed, as I be- lieve any Bethany student would have told you, it was definitely time for Christmas break. Each of us anxiously anticipated our first real return home. I had grown accustomed to the daily rou- tine of classes, work, and breaks shared with my new friends. While I wasn ' t too concerned about my parents hindering any of my newly founded independence, I was wor- ried about my old high school friends I would see and what we would say to each other when the situation arose. I had remained in contact over the semester with a few of my closest friends, yet writ- ing letters and talking one-on-one are two very different forms of communication. Arriving at home, I found myself searching for any subtle changes in my domain. There was the expect- ed new flower arrangement here, a chair moved there, but it was my own room that I was most curious about. What had they done to my room? I wondered as I ventured upstairs to discover my bedroom door closed. Opening the door, I was hit with some pretty frigid air because the heat had been shut off in my room. Taking inventory of that strange room that I had loved so much, I found that along with my dad ' s summer wardrobe hang- ing in the closet, I had also in- herited a new night stand and read- ing light. Seating myself on my bed which now didn ' t feel nearly as comfortable as the one at school, I experienced an odd longing for my new alma mater. Welcome home, I thought sadly to myself, welcome home. I called one of my best friends who I hadn ' t seen since beginning college. The conversation that fol- lowed my apprehensive, Hello, Renee? was awkward and filled with many pauses, so ' s and um ' s. After five minutes of exchanging our views of college Hfe, two people who had been best friends through- out junior high and high school, two people who had confided eve- rything to each other, these two people ran out of things to say. I hung up after saying that I hoped we would be able to see each other sometime over break, but already apprehensive about what we would do when we were face to face again. Next, I talked to Kim who I had been friends with ever since being cheerleaders together in the eighth grade. There was a basketball game on Wed. she informed me, and would I like to go with her? I swore my senior year never to return to my high school. I just simply had enough of that place to last me until my ten-year reunion. Still, a part of me wanted to return, to see some other friends, to see how the place had changed, and most im- portant, to see how the school was faring without the sensational class of ' 87, that, as seniors, we felt they couldn ' t possibly survive without. We went together, Kim and I, a buddy support system. Being cheerleaders through all of high school, we had never paid to see a ball game and were dismayed at the thought of paying the adult admis- sion price. We were greeted at the ticket booth by one of the best teachers in Cameron High School, who allowed us to pay the student price. Like he said when he handed us our change, You are still stu- dents, right? I think that returning to your old high school for the first time is perhaps the most awkward and scary moment one can experience I felt my stomach tighten into a knot as I made my way to the gym- nasium. I wondered if my outfil was concealing some of the Freshmen-15 that I had acquired during first semester. I wondered il I looked any older, wiser, more ma- ture. Then I wondered what I was doing there in that foreign placf filled with memories of by-gone days. I was a foreigner in my owr hometown. It was difficult to watch the game. The players, who just last year I had supported, now seemec unimportant. It was no longer mj team. We — or rather they — won, and as I watched them cel- ebrate their victory by jumping up and down, and screaming and hug- ging one another, I wanted to yell at them that it didn ' t matter None of this matters ... a yeai from now no one is going to re- member anything about this night. Yet another part of me wanted to share in their happiness and warmth of their friendships Still, I knew that my days of higl school security were over. It was their turn now. For all of the times I spent ir that school, I was reminded of the many good times I had experiencec there. Only as I was leaving did ] realize that someone would ran member and treasure that nighti and that someone is the fans whc supported the team, the team member that can ' t help thinking i1 was his winning basket, and mei who had one last stroll down mem ory lane before returning to college where I knew memories were jus1i waiting to be made. 58 Magazine The outside world what happened nationally; internationally ALL — Pope John Paul II vis- ed the United States [ran-Contra affair [ insburg — Marijuana noking in his Harvard ays nudged him out of Supreme Court posi- l INTER — tion • Baby M — surrogate mother tries to keep baby Melissa; court gives biological father custody • Black Monday — stock market crash; dropped 22.6% — more than in mit with Reagan. , , , , • Ashland Oil spill into Mikhail Gorbachev, Monongahela River, iader of the Commu- len to Ohio River . . . ist Party of the 40 million gallons of oil .S.S.R., visited Wash- . q Rather and Vice igton, D.C. for a sum- president and Presiden- PRING — former teen idol Andy ibb died at age 30 Reagan visited USSR id Gorbachev for an- her summit. 1929 crash • Dan Rather, anchor of CBS Evening News went off the air for six minutes to protest the pre-empting of the news for sports tial Candidate George Bush battle-it-out on CBS Evening News • Olympics in Calgary, Canada Up-to-date.

In addition to active teaching schedules, all three professors are active in the many areas of bio- logical study. Drs. Buckelew and Burns have both published papers, while Dr. Larson has given sem- inars on computers and their ad- aptation to physiological research. Dr. Buckelew works diligent- ly on a project. 98 Biology Administration I li CHEMISTRY Dr. Smith, Dept Head Dr. Paysen Dr. dinger The Chemistry Department is designed to give students an un- derstanding of the nature of the physical world in addition to an understanding of the place of chemistry in both industry and business. When students graduate with a major in chemistry, they have a thorough and practical ed- ucation in the field which is useful in relation to industrial, technical, and graduate work. The chemistry program upholds the standards set forth by the American Chemical Society.

They also re- ceive hands-on training at the TV and radio stations. Whether it be preparing computer simulations for Intro to Mass Comm, or work- ing on advertising campaigns, Comm students are sure to get the message across. During second semester, Mr. Carty was a visiting Associate Pro- fessor of Communication Arts at the University of West Florida, Pensacola. He taught courses in Latin American media, mass com- munications, and advertising. Also, William F. Wright was a Visiting Professor of Communications this year at Bethany.

One of the continuing programs in the department, since 1981, is the American Business in Action Series, which took place during the fall. With a few minor curriculum changes, the department has be- come more fine-tuned, according to Dr. Eilenstein. Economics Administration 101 EDUCATION Dr. Shelley, Dept. Head Miss Sampson Ms. Adams Christine Sampson is the new faculty member in the Education Department. Dr. Davis was on sab- batical second semester but will re- turn next year. Last year, Bethany College be- came one of the first four colleges (pilot institutions) to become fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Such recognition is an honor not only for the Education Department, but also for the col- lege. The department offers degrees in the fields of elementary, middle childhood, and secondary educa- tion. Dr. Shelly, department head, states that she is very proud that all of the education programs are alive and thriving! Our three education professors collaborate on a project. 102 Education Administration Left: Freshman Jay Gorstein consults with Dr. Grimes over a question about his Intro to Film class.

Very special commendations to Mr. Gary Kappel who was voted Faculty of the Year. Mr. Kappel is very active as a staff member not only in the F AA department, where he could be seen as part of the cast of the Alpha Psi Omega Cabaret Theatre, but also in the History Department.

The Department offers French, German, and Spanish courses with emphasis on grammar, literature, and culture. Foreign Language ma- jors are required to study abroad for a semester in a country where their language is spoken. Also, Foreign Language majors are able to test their skills as they participate in the drill instructor program. One of the highlights of the year for the department is Bethany For- eign Language Day, held during the second semester. Foreign Languages Administration 105 HISTORY jiiiiiiiijiiiiiniiv Mr. Kappel Dr. Young Dept. Head Dr. Lozier One objective of the History de- partment is to present to students the origin and development of in- stitutions and ideas. It provides the student with a knowledge of the traditions that mold today ' s polit- ical, economic, cultural, and social environments. Graduates of the History department have entered a variety of career fields, including teaching, law, government, and business.

Head The Mathematics and Computer Science Department is constructed with five Unes of concentration: Math; Math-Economics; Math- Physics; Math-Computer Science; and Math-Education. Those who study in the Math- Education Hne are recommended to teach math on the secondary level. As part of the major, the student develops a knowledge and appre- ciation of the nature and uses of mathematics. 3r. Allison chats with Susie Livingston, a graduate in the laas of 1987, at Commencement exercises. Math and Computer Science Administration 107 i Dr. Myers, Dept. Head The curriculum for a philosophy major is based on recommendations from the American Philosophical As- sociation. A philosopher is not plagued by the drawbacks of over- specialization; therefore, employers turn to philosophers for their ability to analyze situations from different angles and determine the most work- able solution. Graduates with a ma- jor in philosophy have found jobs in retail management, social services, and teaching.

Physical Education Administration 109 PHYSICS Mr. Majid Sawtarie, Acting Dept. Head The Physics Department, under the direction of Dr. Majid Sawtarie, acting Department head, is designed to serve as a prepa- ration for graduate study or em- ployment in industry and research. Generally, physics majors are en- gineering oriented, and, therefore, pursue further studies after grad- uation. In January, Dr. Sawtarie was one of 35 professors from the Southeast to be invited to attend a workshop held in Miami, Florida. The workshop was designed to help participants structure and teach nuclear arms issues courses in their own colleges. This will serve to ex- tend the scope of Bethany ' s Phys- ics Department. 110 Physics Administration A January Term course, offered by Dr. Jacqueline Delaat, gave 21 students a first- hand opportunity to see the poHtical sys- tem in action. Each student had the chance to work on the campaign of a candidate of his or her choice for the four-week term in New Hampshire. The students gained val- uable experience that will be useful to them in their future careers. Sophomore Lori Hood discusses a pressing pub- lic policy matter with Dr. Delaat. POLITICS AND PUBLIC POLICY 1 ji jm m r Dr. J. Delaat Dr. A. Ossman, D ept. Head The Politics and Public Policy Department is designed to create in students a better understand- ing of the American political sys- tem through study of institutions and processes, patterns of polit- ical behavior, and international relations. A primary goal of the department is to promote and enhance career objectives in the- oretical, technical, and practical dimensions of administration, management, and policy in both the public and private sectors. Politics and Public Policy Administration 111 PSYCHOLOGY Dr. J. Hull, Dept. Head Dr. G. Thompson Dr. A. Little Bethany ' s Psychology Depart- ment has one new faculty member this year. Dr. Arlene Little. The department is a blend of different schools of psychological thought. Each professor brings a specialized knowledge to the classroom. Such diversity provides a well-rounded and complete psychological educa- tion. Courses range from General Psychology to a year long program in Experimental Psychology. Courses in Abnormal Psychology and Therapy Techniques are also offered so that students can spe- cialize in a chosen field. 112 Psychology Administration Father Pat socializes in the cafe. RELIGIOUS STUDIES Dr. B. Thurston, Acting Dept. Head New ideas were to fill the Re- ligious Studies Department as Dr. Thurston was welcomed as acting Department head. Dr. Lester left on sabbatical after the first semes- ter, though the college community awaits his return. Religious study majors are exposed to a variety of religions and cultures. Courses range from the required RS 100 course to Religions of India. Stu- dents learn of the relationships be- tween religion, culture, and certain value systems, as well the tradi- tional Bethany Heritage Lectures. Religious Studies Administration 113 SOCIOLOGY Dr. Adkins, Dept. Head Mrs. Coram With a major in sociology, a student has established the es- sential components for profes- sional work in education, law enforcement, and legal fields, along with social service profes- sions. While in the department, students learn the basic theo- ries, research techniques, and applied practices in sociology. Social work gives students pro- fessional competence for various agencies, including public wel- fare, day care, health care, pris- ons, schools, and institutional health.

From Morlan Hall to the Alpha Sig house, Beta to McDiarmid — these places grew to be more than just someplace to live. The Sigma Nu house caught fire over Christmas break, forcing the Sigma Nus to find alternate housing. Whether we lived in one of the six independent housing units or rushed to be- come a part of the Greek system, we were On the Go.

PhilHps Professor of Old Testament Literature) was not as suc- cessful as last year ' s, mainly because the freshmen were unaware of who he was, and the sophomores were fairly unfa- miliar with him. Our spring weekend was held on campus, rather than at Salt Fork State Park (Ohio) as in the past. For the first time ever, we won the honor of the Woolery Cup — having the highest G.P.A. of all men ' s housing units. All brothers of Beta improved their G.P.A. ' s as well.

Editors Lisa Bun- gard and Dave Burkle met several times throughout the summer to organize the structure of the book. Burkle previously attended a summer workshop spon- sored by Taylor Publishing Company. With Taylor as our new company he was able to report creative ideas to be used for the 1988 Bethanian. At the beginning of the year the staff got organized into six sections with the following editors: Marcie Valerio — Student Life; Carla Burkhart — Sports; Sue Hendershot — Seni- ors; Marabeth Smith and Leslie Vavra — Adminis- tration Faculty; Alecia Sirk — Housing; and Kim Deely — Clubs Organizations. Sharon Crow took charge of the mini-mag. The rest of the staff was organized into photography and lay- out copy groups. Chuck Lantz, our Taylor representative, provided a workshop primarily deal- ing with layout, introduc- ing everyone to a variety of layout variations. On The Go became the Bethanian ' s theme. We chose this theme because we felt that Bethany stu- dents and faculty are con- stantly busy with their ef- forts to make Bethany even better. Though sometimes it got tough meeting deadlines, Sue Hendershot begins to draw up a layout. we all pulled through with the hard work of the entire staff and our faculty ad- visor, Joe Lesem. We, the staff, have been On The Go to complete the 1988 Bethanian and feel that we have captured the spirit of 1987-88. 144 Tlie Staff: Front Row: Christina Zombek, Kelly Rothenberger, Dave Burkle, Lisa Bungard, Alecia S Holly Bentz, Second Row: Marabeth Smith, Sue Hendershot, Kim Deely, Devyn Olson-Sawyer, Leslie Vavra, Third Row: Mike Duplaga, Elizabeth Marshall, Lori Hood, MaryLou Pashke, Becky Hall.
