ST A TRADITION OF Success One man rises from a grocery store bag boy to the company president and chief executive officer. A wom- an is one of 114 finalists for the national Teacher in Space competition. Together, they share one common ex- perience. Both are Catawba College graduates. Tom Smith, president of Food Lion, a Salisbury-based grocery chain with sales of $ 1 .5 billion a year, worked as a bag boy while he attended Catawba. Today, he leads the rapidly-expanding company. The company ' s former president, Ralph Ketner, donated $3 million to Catawba this year for a new business school. Cyndi Zeger, a 1973 graduate of Ca- tawba, was among the two finalists cho- sen from North Carolina for the NASA space program. They represent the outstanding men and women who have attended Cataw- ba. Other headliners include Charlie Gabri- el, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force; Scott Holmes, actor in Ryan ' s Hope, Claude Hampton, senior vice president of Na- bisco; and Phil Kirk, North Carolina Secre- tary of Human Resources. taJ SK Cyndi Zeger, class of 1973, was a finalist for the NASA Teacher in Space program. The Tradition Continues It ' s easy to point out past suc- cesses from Catawba College. They stand out in the city sur- rounding the college and extend in all directions across the nation and into other countries. But that ' s not to say there are not success stories at the col- lege now. Years ago, the stand- outs of the business world, teaching profession, athletic teams and other areas lived and studied at the campus. Today, 900 leaders of tomorrow join them in their educational begin- nings. The college indeed is Rich in the Tradition of Success. Past graduates have borne out that fact. And present and future graduates will contribute to that success. The students today lack only a tradition built upon years working at their respective crafts. Give them time, and they too will add to the long and suc- cessful tradition established and continued by the college and its students. Greta Parrott auditions for Barnum, a fall production. MY A e 3 p resici Brick entrances signalled the start of the college campus. 10 ■ : .. A MULTI-MILLION FACE-LIFT  : LLAR The construction began in the summer and last- ed the year long. Trucks and workmen were all over the campus fixing, building and cleaning. The massive building and campus improvement pro- gram, announced in 1985, began to take form. Brick sidewalks replaced concrete in front of the Administration Building and a new circle drive was completed. Historic lamps light the area, and three flag poles were added. Improvements were made to Woodson Dormitory, Hoke Student Center and Foil House. The latter became a social area and student offices were added in late spring. New athletic fields were built for the soccer, field hock- ey, sofrball and football programs. A new roof was placed on Goodman Gymnasium, and Newton Hall received work on the roof and exterior. Surprisingly, the workers had only begun. The summer brought work on Zartman Hall, now Barger Hall, and a complete renovation was expected by the start of the 1986 fall semester. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in the spring for a new stu- dent center-dining hall complex. Still to come are the Ralph Ketner School of Busi- ness, a large plaza joining the Ketner building with the student center, upgrading of the residence halls and extensive landscape improvements. When completed, the projects are expected to total $15 to $20 million. The trustees launched a huge capital campaign and met with great suc- cess. The sounds of saws and hammers and trucks are sure to extend into the next few years. But no one is complaining. ii Photos by Theresa Furlong 12 Above: Eddie Forrest and Dennis Inlow prepare for a cruise around the flooded fields. Inset: Smooth sailing by the backfield fence CANOEING, ANYONE? ATHLETIC COMPLEX GOOD FOR MORE THAN BALL Water almost covered trance to the fields. By Ian Lawrence A 1933 Catawba graduate pledged $100,000 to the con- struction of the college ' s new six-field athletic complex. Generous E.B. Frock may be getting more than he ' s paying for. Students discovered that the complex, made up of soccer practice and game fields, soft- ball and hockey fields, is also good for boating. The complex is constructed on a flood plain that has formerly been ignored by developers. When heavy rains fell most of Febru- ary and the first of March, the plain and the athle- tic fields were lost under little over five feet of water. So out went the soccer balls and in came the oars. Coach Bill Haggerty brought his canoe and Eddie Forrest brought his friends for a one-day only boating adventure on Frock Lake. The athletic complex was constructed last year in conjunction with the City of Salisbury. Catawba added bleachers, lights, and a scoreboard just this year. Other improvements will be made with the funds donated by Frock. Vegetation and woods surrounding the area are already being cleared for a fitness trail to be started next year. The facilities are open to residents of the com- munity. The soccer team has prob- ably benefited the most from Mr. Frock ' s donation. The team ' s home field was pre- viously at the nearby Veter- an ' s Administration Medical Center. Games there were often poorly attended, in contrast to games on the new lighted field where nearly 500 fans turned out to see each game. the posts at the en- E.B.

Now Foil ' s enjoy heyday as a party dorm is over, but the parties are still going on. And a lot of new attrac- tions have been added: lectures, dis- cussions, meetings, and even a film class.

Members of the court selected by popular vote of the students included Gina Gentile, queen; Patti Hall, Kim Ford, Wendy Strang, and Tinker Shirey. Other women were selected by individual dormi- tories as their representatives to the court. All of the women received corsages or bouquets for the occasion. 18 Photos by Theresa Furlong Dorm Representatives Patti Hall Abernethy Molly Anderson Debbie Smith Claremont Beth Waddell Pine Knot Becky Dent Commuter Students Kelly Auten Sharon Miller - North Hall Joan Canavaciol Melanie Trexler Wendy Strang Salisbury-Rowan Kim Lemmons Jennifer Smith Salisbury-Rowan Dorcas Tomasek Zartman Donna Moore Woodson Tori Burris Nancy Sheetz 19 MAY DAY IN APRIL 20 Annual Springfest activities began this year with the traditional dance around the May Pole April 12. May Queen Donna Moore reigned over festivities on the front lawn of Omwake-Dearbome Chapel. Terry Ward performed magic for the cele- bration. Beth Russell and Liz Hudson sang The Rainbow Connection. The theme for this year ' s May Day activities was For Just a Moment. The celebration was held early because of a conflict with graduation May 2. May Court representatives were Tinker Shirey, Kim Ford, Gina Gentile, seniors; Jeanne Caussin, Kim Lemmons, Melanie Trexler, ju- niors; Dani Dargan, Sally Eury, Paula Graffius, sophomores; and Jennifer Caffee, Lynne Ke- pley, and Lynette Weber, freshmen.

DANCING AT THE ELKS ' PLACE New Student Government Association officers were sworn into office April 12, 1986, at the annual Inaugural Ball held at the Salibury Elks Club. The College Union Board and the SGA spon- sored the formal dance and catering. The event is part of the college ' s Springfest activities, and it followed the afternoon May Day celebration. Faculty, staff, students and their guests enjoyed a champagne toast and danced to music by a live band until one a.m. Streamers and bouquets of colored helium bal- loons accented stairwells and filled the corners of the Elks Lodge. Catawba ' s Crystal Lounge has been reserved for next year ' s Inaugural Ball. Carol Dorsett, McFeeley and Sally Eury enjoy the festivities.

Contestants in the second annual Springfest Tug-O-War didn ' t seem to care whether their team was the one that got pulled into the mud pit on the intramurals field. Getting dirty is half of the fun, and everyone wanted their full share of it. Tuggers and spectators alike donned their grubbiest jeans and shorts and dived into the slime.

The man traveled from the National Broadcasting Company to Home Box Office, then dropped in for a visit at Catawba College. He brought a wacky smile and a best- selling paperback, but his well-known sene of humor is what has made him famous among a special group of fans across the United States. His name is Rich Hall. Hall visited the Catawba College campus for an April 10 show in Good- man Gymnasium. The show was part of the annual Springfest celebration. Hall has starred on Saturday Night Live and HBO ' s Not Necessarily the News. He also is the author of a best-selling book titled Sniglets, where he creates words based on parts of other words. During the year Hall toured the coun- try to film a television special, and he met with success. His show sold out in nearby Charlotte. Rich Hall performs for the crowd in Goodman Gymnasium during the Springfest celebration. DIALING FOR i • LARS AND CANDY AND HELICOPTER RIDES AND . . . In mid-October, Sue Stebbins-Morrison had 4,032 Payday candy bars stacked in her office at Ca- tawba — and $247,395 in play money, 250 canary yellow T-shirts, four cases of Zero candy bars and two cases of $100-Grand bars. It was phonathon time. That ' s when about 200 Catawba students, aided by faculty, staff and alumni, raise money for profit and fun. Students lined up at tables during evening hours to telephone people from Burgaw to Brooklyn. Nearly 7,000 alumni were contacted during phon- athon between October 28 and November 20. Mrs. Stebbins-Morrison, a 1977 Catawba gra- duate, started what has to be one of the most creative fund-raising efforts at a college campus. Students earned play money for a job well done and it was used Nov. 21 at an auction. The stu- dents could bid for prizes like two nights at the Hilton Head (S.C.) Hyatt Regency Hotel or a round trip to New York with Broadway tickets for a cou- ple. 28 Carolie Bartol takes a ride in the WBTV Sky 3 helicopter as a phonathon prize.

Second place went to Dave Miller, Jon Hamley, Jason Leffler, Chris Romanke, Bill Zolper and Tim Smith! Three staff members — Laura Dove, Linda Cheek and Carol Dorsett — orga- nized and choreographed Catawba ' s Shufflin ' Crew.

Barnum masterminded the Greatest Show on Earth. In Catawba College ' s lively version of Barnum, senior Terry Ward proves he can hoax, trick, deceive, humbug — call it anything but lying — nearly as well as the old master. The show, performed in Hedrick Lit- tle Theatre and directed by Jim Ep- person, includes trapeze acts, dare- devil stunts, a giant elephant, a man barely larger than a thumb, and enough clowns to fulfill every young- ster ' s dreams. It is a life story of Bar- on Photo by Theresa Furlong Clowns surround Terry Ward as he lifts his hat to the audience. num and his dream to bring excite- ment and vivid color to the world. Ward provides the spark for the show. His wit and deceptiveness por- tray Barnum as he was, the greatest humbugger of all time. With the major role, Ward has to be lively and enthu- siastic to keep the show from drag- ging. He is. An accomplished magi- cian, Ward has no problem with tricks in the play, like pulling scarves from an empty cannister and starting a fire in the palm of his hand. He is relaxed and confident. Though Ward as the central char- acter is principally responsible for the play ' s success, he does have help. Leigh Hildreth shows unusual stage presence for a freshman. As Charity Barnum, she is conservative, earthy, and dull — yet lovely in her own way. Dressed in drab colors, she contrasts with the colorful, flashy Barnum, prov- ing that opposites do attract. Ms. Hil- dreth gives the show balance. She has a strong singing voice and is one of the few females who can be heard above the band. Steve Thompson blends in well as Barnum ' s sidekick, James A. Bailey. Thompson also doubles as ringmaster and sings one song. He does a solid and dependable job, if not a spec- tacular one. Margaret James gives it her best shot as the unique Swedish Nightin- gale, Jenny Lind, whose warm col- oratura voice made her one of the most famous singers of the 19th cen- tury. In Lind ' s obligato, she has a tough song to sing and she does well. Brian Hegedus has a small part as Gen. Tom Thumb. His scenes may be one of the most entertaining parts of the play, especially when Thumb dances with Jumbo the elephont. Facing Page: Terry Ward stars as P.T. Barnum in the biographical musical.

The Bacchae opened Nov. 19 in Hedrick Little The- atre. Director James Parker says he wishes his audi- ence to come away with a sense that, by whatever name they go, there are enormous forces that are greater than we are, and we have to learn to live with them, whether we understand them or not. Parker ' s adaptation presents modern audiences with an easily understandable translation. The cast and the words themselves make the point clearly. The cast works well as a unit to convince the audience. There are fine performances throughout. Dionysus (Mike Yionoulis), Teiresias (Henry Brown), and Kadmus (John Gibson) capture the attention of the audience well, as does the skillful delivery of the messenger ' s speech by Scott Burrell. Burrell ' s passionate and emo- tional delivery displays excellent potential in the young actor. Technically speaking, it would have been better not to overstate the theme in the color choices of the sets, costumes, and lighting, but rather let the play speak for itself. Colors on stage, such as orange, or ac- sence of color, such as white, should have been toned down. The visual distraction pulled the focus away from the presenta- tion. However, the visual does support the play. The success of the production lies within its ability to convince the audience. The Bacchae accomplishes that. Performances continue nightly through Nov. 23.

Photo by The Salisbury Post PLAYBOY HARD TO FOLLOW By Diane Summerville The Blue Masque Theatre production of Playboy of the Western World, presented in Hedrick Little Theatre, leaves something to be desired: clar- ity. Whenever a heated discu- sion starts up, novice Irish bro- gues become garbled shouts. Lively conversations die be- cause they cannot be under- stood. You have to admire director Dayna Anderson for trying to keep the atmosphere of Ire- land through language. She wanted the speech to be as fully flavored as a nut or ap- ple, which is how J.M. Synge meant his play to be. The acting is generally good, but the play does com- mand attention. Betsy Bisson (Pegeen James) does a fine acting job. She and Terry Ward (Old Mahon) have the most authentic sound as well as the most understandable. Tim Ross portrays Christy Ma- hon with an appropriate bal- ance. Scott Burrell deserves credit for his portrayal of Shawn. Once again, Jim Eddy has done a marvelous job with the set, one of the most complex sets Catawba has used re- cently. 46 The village girls flirt with Tim Ross, playboy of the Western world. the Betsy Bisson (Pegeen James) discusses a problem with Tim Ross (Christy Mahon).

By Brad Hamm Four All-America men and a dedicat- ed coach lifted the 1985 soccer team to its best season in school history. The group took major honors at the confer- ence, district and national levels. Catawba finished with a 17-5 record, and was ranked as high as 11th in the nation during the regular season. The Indians won the Carolinas Conference and District 26 championships for the second straight year. Two players were chosen as first team All-America by the National Soc- cer Coaches Association of America. It marked the first time in school history that the soccer team produced one All- America first team, much less two. Sophomore midfielder Kevin Sloan and senior fullback Thomas Ferland were members of the first team, and senior goal keeper Bobby Marcellus and soph- omore forward John Pietak made the second team. Sloan, of Columbia, Md., was named Player of the Year in the conference and district, and Coach Ralph Wager was selected Coach of the Year in both categories. Wager, in his third year, has revived a sport that struggled a Cataw- ba in the 1970s. Fans also have united behind the Indi- ans, nearly overflowing the new stands built behind the baseball field. One for- mer soccer standout, 1933 graduate E.B. Frock, donated $100,000 toward the new athletic complex.

That number included an incredible number of freshmen — 75 — so many that the school started a jayvee team. By mid November, the team snapped conference and home losing streaks dating back several years. But the Indians fell short of a winning season. They finished with a 5-6 record. Catawba has not ended a season with a winning record since 1978. The opening game — a 24-20 victory over J.C. Smith — was the first home victory since 1981. A loss to Mars Hill followed, then the Indians trounced New- port News Apprentice School 44-0. After two more losses, head coach Pete Stout switched to a wishbone offense, one he used during a successful high school career. Catawba responded with a 31-21 victory over Gardner- Webb, breaking a 24-game losing streak in the strong SAC-8 conference. The Indians lost their next three games, and ended the season with victories over close rivals Davidson and Lenoir-Rhyne. Six players made the academic SAC-8 team with 3.0 or above grade point averages. They were juniors Mark Domskey and Steve Foye; sophomores John Bul- lins, Howard McLean and Jim Pilekas; and Freshman Randy Brown. Tight end Kenny Watkins and lineman Bill Viggers were all-District 26 selections. | CATAWBA SCOREBOARD | Opponent Result Score J.C.

He had al- most accepted a similar job at a nearby Caro- linas Conference school. What a loss that would have been. Today, Moir is a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Missouri. The honor was announced before the start of the season. He was inducted in March. This tribute is recognition of Sam Moir ' s ath- letic achievements and fine moral character, said Harry Fritz, NAIA Executive Director. Moir, from San Francisco, also is a member of the Catawba College Sports Hall of Fame. He has coached 20 winning seasons and his teams have captured four Carolinas Conference championships and two trips to the NAIA championship tournament in Kansas City. Another interesting note among his achieve- ments is that over 90 percent of his players have received their degrees. This year ' s team, with only two seniors, fin- ished 17-10 overall and 9-7 in the conference. It was the school ' s seventh straight winning season. The Indians held sixth in the NAIA District 26 until the conference tournament and barely missed a spot in the playoffs. Catawba won the 7-Up Classic Tournament held at Goodman Gymnasium. Gerald Kennedy, a 6-4 senior from Florence, S.C, led the way as the team ' s top scorer and rebounder, averaging 15 points a game. Other key players included junior forwards Ricky Thompson of Yanceyville and Derrick Tucker of Alexandria, Va. This was a good team, but I felt it had the chance to be a great team, Moir said. It spent half of the season searching for an identi- ty, and when we finally found the right combi- nation we slipped up and lost the tournament. 64 Moir discusses strategy with his players.

The Indians had never won more than 12 games in one season, and in the early 1980s lost 46 straight games. But Haggerty arrived in 1984 to straighten out the situation. It took a year. The 1985-86 team set numerous school records in winning 17 games against 15 losses. The Indians were 7-9 in the conference and 9-11 in the dis- trict. Sophomore Lisa Kearns and senior Patty Moore helped return Catawba to respectibility. Kearns broke the school scoring mark in only her second season. She scored 567 points, averag- ing 20.3 a game. Moore, a four-year starter, also surpassed the old school scoring mark. She directed the team on offense and defense. Junior Lynn Nance and freshman Helene Reigstad paced the Indi- ans in rebounding. The team destroyed many school records and managed a winning season in Haggerty ' s second year. That followed a 1- 26 season. All but one starter re- turn next season.

Seven freshmen started on a number of occa- sions for the Indians. Many were from the Salisbury area. They played together on the American Le- gion State Championship team that lost to Puerto Rico in the Little World Series. DeHart previously worked as an assistant coach at Salisbury High. Catawba ' s team finished with a 15- 19 record, just missing a district playoff berth. Freshman Dale Thomason of nearby China Grove was voted Most Valuable Player. Ken Fernandez of Tampa, Fla., a four-year start- er, won the Gordon A. Kirkland Award as Cataw- ba ' s Senior Athlete of the Year. Jerry Paige Page of Salisbury was the only junior on the team. He played for DeHart at Salisbury High. The players worked at a local road race to raise money for a week-long trip to Florida over Spring break, where they played exhibition games against other colleges. The quantity and quality of underclassmen should translate into winning seasons for the base- ball team and a return to the tradition of years past when the college dominated area baseball. . ■ ■ Ken Fernandez, the teams team ' s only senior player, makes a run for first base.

SITTING ON ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIF By Brad Hamm A couple of Catawba gradu- ates have stepped forward to establish women ' s softball as the school ' s top athletic program. Coaches Nan (1974) and Cecil (1966) Whitley led the Lady Indi- ans to a second consecutive Carolinas Conference cham- pionship and the top record among any Catawba athletic teams in the 1985-86 season. The Lady Indians finished with a 31-9 record. Senior Sharma Dulin was voted the conference player of the year. Mrs. Whitley was named coach of the year in the confer- ence. Dulin batted .57 1 and was named to the all-conference team. Others seleced to the team included Charlotte Bailey, Kim Mair and sophomore Aman- da Bowers. Kim Mair was voted the team most valuable player. The softball team played on a new field named in honor of E.B. ' Frock. Catawba used the new facility to host the United States Slow-Pitch Softball Association ' s National Invitational tournament from May 9-11. Bailey, a four-year starter, captured Catawba ' s most pres- tigious athletic honor, the Betty A. Lomax Award. It is given to the top female athlete who has been at Catawba for three years and has maintained a C average academically. She was a three-sport athlete, competing also in volleyball and basketball. As a softball player, Bailey started four years. Cataw- ba had a 103-40 mark during that stretch. She was a .389 hit- ter for the career and batted .484 this season. Bailey also pitched 95 games, winning 71 and losing 24. 80 The winning run crosses home plate in a game against Mount Olive College. 82 , -a : .wg|)fc W8« ; !

It was the first year under head coach Connie Nicholson. The Indians were 3-5 in the conference. They finished 7-6 in the district. Catawba stayed near the .500 mark in winning percentage for most of the year. They lost the last seven games, though. Parrish, a four-year starter, led the attack. Oth- er top players included Kim Updegraff, Vonda Martin, Charlotte Bailey, Leisa Hepler, and Lisa Smith. Updegraff had 1,099 assists, far exceeding anyone else on the team. Martin was second with 462.

Photo by Dennis Davidson THREE LITTLE-KNOWN GROUPS Some of the least-known organizations on campus are the most seen and most active. Take three sports groups, for example. The intramurals staff organizes year-long activities for everyone on campus. Tourna- ment volleyball, water polo, assassin, and softball are just a few of the activities stu- dents compete in without even knowing who set the schedules or furnished the referees. And the Sports Medicine majors. They are on the sidelines of every football and bas- ketball game, ready to treat any injury that occurs. Nobody watches them — fans ' eyes are on the game. And the golf team. Their practice course is Corbin Hills Golf Club, a few miles off cam- pus. Students know the players — it ' s hard not to notice a guy carrying a bag of clubs — but few turn out for the games. 91 BOARD VOTES 11-1 TO APPROVE HONOR CODE By Brigett Poe The SGA approved in January an Honor Code that could be installed as early as the fall semester. The board voted 11-1 in favor of a reccom- mendation after a 50-minute discussion. Only vice president Tinker Shirey voted against the measure. An honor code is ridiculous, she said. I should know right and wrong by age 21 One of these by-laws isn ' t going to make stu- dents have integrity if they don ' t have it al- ready. Others spoke in favor of SGA approval. This may be the greatest legacy you as a student government leave, said Dr. Robert Knott, Dean of the College. What it does is set expectations for ourselves and anyone who joins us . . . It ' s a commitment to the good of the community. Beth Vazzana, who presented the code to the SGA, said, First and foremost, the honor code says, Tm going to be the best I can be. Bill Zolper, Trip Buckenmaier, and Bill McFee- ley also spoke in favor of the code. The code says, Catawba College students do not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate such acts among them. Vazzana chaired a committee of students that spent the first semester planning the code and its enforcement. Once approved by the faculty and Board of Trustees, the Honor Code would be part of the application process for incoming freshmen. Those who do not sign the code will not be admitted. Dr. Knott said. In the proposal, those charged with Honor Code infractions will be brought before the College Court. Students will be chosen ran- domly to fill extra seats in addition to regular court members. Specific by-laws were approved at a later SGA meeting. Photo by Brent Snipes Beth Vazzana presents her committee ' s proposal to the SGA.

BLOOD BY THE BAG FULL It was students against faculty, coaches against administration, and Catawba against Pfeiffer College. Blood was every- where. And everybody won. It was Red Cross Bloodmobile time, and the Residence Life Association wanted to make sure they met their goal of 75 pints. So they got the students to challenge the fac- ulty, the coaches to challenge the adminis- tration, and the whole college to challenge Pfeiffer in a blood-giving contest. While catcalls and jibes shot back and forth across the Cannon Room Feb. 19, 119 donors gave 103 pints of blood to be used as whole blood for transfusions or to be broken down for plasma. RLA volunteers Pervez Saved and Bob Mazzonii are ready with boxes of plastic blood bags for donors.

Catawba ROTC members, far from being alarmed at the prospect of war, backed Reagan ' s actions 100 percent. I think it ' s about time, cadet commander Trip Buckenmaier told Salisbury Post reporter Mark Win- eka. I was glad. We ' re finally taking a stand against terrorism. Reagan called the air attack self-defense and warned Khadafy that similar action would be tak- en in response to future terrorist acts by Libya. First sergeant James Robinson backed the air attack, but was quoted in the Post as having res- ervations about what should be the country ' s fu- ture response to terrorism. If there ' s anything we should not like, he told the Post, it ' s the precedent that it has set. 104 Photo by Theresa Furlong Left: Cadets run to a waiting helicopter that will fly them to site where they will spend three days for survival training.

As David and Goliath proved a long time ago, said one critic, size is no proof of prowess. The Catawba organization has operated for 60 years with little more than a slingshot and a stone. But it has had a powerful impact, not just on the students who have written scripts or di- rected plays, but on the Salisbury community, on the Piedmont, on the nation, and even abroad. The Blue Masque received rave reviews in England in 1957. If we were to ask this country what American group should be invited back again, there would be a unanimous call for the Blue Masque Players from Catawba, said Edmund Cooper, executive secretary of the British Drama League in London. The group has changed some- what since Florence Busby Cor- riher founded the Blue Masque in 1925, says Dr. Hoyt McCachren, director of the School of Per- forming Arts, but its mission re- mains constant: to promote the- atrical interest, appreciation and activity on campus and in the community.

Then they waved good-bye. When students returned from Christmas break, the WNDN-FM control booth had a new board with better turntables, more modern sound control system, and lots more buttons. The new system was a bar- gain, purchased for around $800 from a Florida school. Dr. H Ger- ald Honaker, station manager for WNDN, is pleased with the eguip- ment. He plans to add even more over summer break. When the station opens next fall, the two turntables will have been fitted with oblong keys and all of the keys and all of the sta- tion ' s records cut with a corre- sponding slot. The records will be unpayable on any but WNDN turntables, a condition that should cut down on theft and mismanagement of albums. DJs pose with Dr. Honaker, far left front row.

Photo by Lanny Pigg DELEGATION WINS TWO AWARDS By Juanita Bouser Catawba ' s delegation won two awards at the annual session of the N.C. Student Legislature March 26-30. The group won the award for best delegation from a small school and best bill from a small school. In addition, delegate Bob J. Mazzoni was nomi- nated for the Douglas Carlisle Award for out- standing student legislator. Small schools were designated as those with an enrollment of under 5,000, says Dr. Karl Hales, group advisor. So we beat out schools like Wake Forest and Campbell University. NCSL is a non-partisan, student-run version of the N.C. General Assembly. In its 49th year, it is the oldest student legislature in the United States. It ' s an educational experience, says delegate Deirdre Adams. We hold a mock general assembly in which we debate bills and resolutions written by members of the organization. She notes that 40-60 percent of the bills passed in the student legislature are passed in some form by the N.C. General Assembly. Delegation chairperson Sally Wright says the awards were a reflection of the hard work we ' ve done this year on every level — for the communit y, for the school and for NCSL. Hales notes that this was one of the most cohesive groups he ever worked with in NCSL. That can be attributed to Sally Wright ' s leadership, he says. She did a marvelous job of holding the unit together and making it work as a unit. The award for best bill came as a surprise to the group. We knew that we had written a good bill, says co-author Bob Mazzoni, But we weren ' t even considering the award until they made the announcement. The bill dealt with setting academic require- ments for participation in extra-curricular ac- tivities, much like the no pass, no play law in Texas. The bill passed overwhelmingly in the Senate but failed in the House. Says co- author Courtney Donovan: Democracy at work.

They participated in the 1986 N.C. Science Olympiad, an inter- scholastic competition with 18 events designed to use a variety of intellectual and practical skills. Some of the Catawba groups who made the Olympiad possible were the science, Alpha Chi, com- puter science, and FCA clubs. Vol- unteers from the groups called out trivia questions to game partici- pants, set up experiments, award- ed prizes, and helped participants to have a good time.

They were feeling under cush- ions, behind blinds, and in ash- trays in the administration building. And the lucky ones found what they were searching for: eggs. The occasion was the Second Annual Easter Egg Hunt spon- sored by the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes. FCA members and president Brent Fuqua spent weeks build- ing a collection of prizes that ranged from posters to dinner for two at the Academy. Each prize was numbered, and correspond- ing slips of paper inserted into hundreds of plastic eggs. Once the eggs were stashed in their hiding places all over campus, the students were turned loose for a three-day race to recover them. This year the hunt was sched- uled during SpringFest week in late April. The event is one of the best participated-in on campus.

Students in the Outing Club have getting away down to a science. The group spends weekends hiking in the North Carolina mountains, camping, boating, or picnick- ing. And when they schedule an outing, they leave everything else behind: §howers, make up, school books, electricity, and frist food.

LOOKIN ' GOOD By Laura Ashley The athletic department knows 32 good rea- sons why football recruits should choose Cataw- ba College. Those reasons are featured in a calendar to be mailed with recruitment literature to N.C. high school athletes and college gridders being re- cruited as transfers. Calendars will also be sold in the concession stand during home basketball games. The calendars picture 32 members of the Li ' l Chiefs, the little sister club to Catawba ' s sports teams. Poses range from glamorized single shots to a cutsey wishbone line-up on the football field. There are no bathing suits; the image the girls project is strictly girl-next-door. Photography is by football player Don Beard. The athletic department hopes the calendars will help recruiting by adding depth to the picture of Catawba recruits get from admissions bro- chures. We want them to see Cataw- ba ' s lighter side, says Tom Eanes, one of the coaches who initiated the pro- ject. And they want them to see pretty faces. We want guys to look at this calen- dar and say, If that ' s how the girls there look, I ' m going to Catawba! The five football players who appear with the girls in some shots were chosen on a similar philosophy. The idea is that recruits will want to look as good in a Catawba uniform as the guys men in the calendar. The calendar is Catawba ' s fourth since 1977. All were printed by Graphic Impressions of Salisbury. 129 Beth Russell leads a group of high school seniors by the arbor at the chapel. Photo by Wayne Hinshaw FOLLOW ME TOUR GUIDES LEAD STUDENTS INTO ADMISSIONS By Laura Ashley A New Jersey high school senior visited Catawba College for the first time this year. He decided to spend an extra night in one of the dormitories. Then he applied for admission to the college ' s theater arts department. A club called the Catawba Guides had a lot to do with that decision. The guides are a close-knit group of 22 upperclass- men whose main interest is bringing other students to Catawba College. When they receive the name of a student who has expressed an interest in the college through high school guidance counselors or inquiries, the guides call them on the telephone, write them letters, invite them to visit the campus or stay a week- end in their dorm rooms. They take them to plays and parties on campus. They take them to classes. And, as their name plainly tells, they take them on guided tours. The guides usually give three tours each week for groups ranging from one prospective student and his parents to 800 Future Homemakers of America. Most tours are scheduled in advance, but surprises come often. One day, Jon Hamley and Dave Ramsey conduct- ed a tour for several of the 730 Distributive Education Club members on campus for a district convention. They were gone for an hour and 20 minutes, re- calls Carol Dorsett, the group ' s advisor. While they were gone, another group asked for a tour, and Jon and Dave left with them almost immediately after they returned with the first group. She has never heard any complaints when that happens. We ' re always on call, she says. Everyone knows it. And although she may hear some grumbling when tours get scheduled for eight o ' clock on a Satur- day morning, she ' s never without a volunteer to show the visitor around. Everything the guides do is strictly volunteer, Ms. Dorsett says, from operating the admissions office ta- ble at home football games to blowing up the bal- loons the cheerleaders release before the games. But when it comes to tours, she does try to encourage volunteers who share the same interests as the person requesting the tour. That way, she says, visitors are placed with guides who can answer any questions they may have about the sports teams, clubs, classes, and professors they hope to be involved with at Ca- tawba. Ms. Dorsett considers the guides an extension of the admissions office, even though they are an indepen- dent club under Student Government Association guidelines.

Alphas are the primary re- source persons for freshman and transfer students during Septem- ber orientation. Their job really begins in the spring when Alphas are selected through a series of interviews and group-building activities begin. Activities include games, group discussions, and training sessions that build a sense of Photo by Brent Snipes real involvement in the organiza- tion, says Alpha advisor Dr. Bob Lowdermilk. About mid-June, Alphas re- ceive lists of incoming students who will be their advisees during the next year. Each Alpha con- tacts the members of his group by letters or phone calls. Three days of work shops be- gin Aug. 21 to help new Alphas aid the incoming freshman in making the transition between high school and college flow as smooth as possible, Lowdermilk says. During orientation, Alphas are in a one-on-one relationships with incoming students. They help them plan schedules and register for classes. Says Alpha co-director Debbie Smith, Alphas educate students in a social way — not how to party, but how to survive in a college society. Paige Miller is the other student co-director this year. Alphas have to have a strong sense of humor. Here, Greg Shell shows freshmen how to cope with cold Catawba showers. 132 i ,r-rr 2l Dr. Bob Lowdermilk is the Alphas ' advisor.

Seven Catawba students, including three juniors were selected Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. The 1986 choices include seniors Tori Burris, Jeff Coulter, Jon Hamley, and Dewanna Thomas. The honor is usually reserved for seniors, but this year three juniors also made the list: Laura Ashley, Sandra Costantino, and Mark File. Benjamin Hamm was the only junior selected Who ' s Who last year. Who ' s Who is a national organization that honors outstanding students. Selec- tions are based on academic achievement, involvement in extra-curricular activi- ties, leadership, service, and potential for future achievements. 138 Tori M. Burris Sandra K.

He knew exactly where to go and when for graduation rehearsal, Investiture, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. This doggie wanted his degree. The dog, a pudgy, aging beagle, caused smiles and snick- ering when it strolled into Keppel Auditorium Saturday, May 3, just in time for a continental breakfast and graduation re- hearsal. After the morning ' s activities were over, he retired to a shady bush by Zartman Hall. Students thought he had parked himself there for keeps. They were wrong. In the evening, about 8 o ' clock, elegantly clothed men and women began filing into Omwake Dearborne Chapel. Doggie strutted right down the aisle with them. He made it to the front pew before Sandra Costantino, a junior marshall, escorted him very unceremoniously out the front door. Baccalaureate services, it would seem, are no place for a beagle. Undaunted, the dog took his place in the line-up Sunday morning when faculty and graduates processed into Keppel for graduation. Giggles among the guests and flashing cameras alerted marshalls to a distur- bance in the procession, and the dog was dragged outside again. Ten minutes later he was sneaking to- ward the stage via a side aisle while Dr. Wurster presented honorary degrees to Wiley Lash. This time it took three mar- shalls to force him out. His heretofore dogged determination gave out, and he spent the rest of com- mencement waiting in the lobby for the graduates to exit. When congratulatory friends and rel- atives flocked around graduates out- side the building later, the doggie pad- ded through the crowd, his eyes pouting and his ears dragging. Then he disappeared. No one knows whether he live had a home in the neighborhood around the college. His brown leather collar carried no tags oth- er than vaccination certification. But who knows? Maybe he ' ll be back next year. And maybe he ' ll get his de- gree this time. Marshalls Laura Ashley and Brooks Robertson pull dog from the processional line at commencement.

That ' s why Catawba created the Junior Program, the capstone of the college ' s General Studies curriculum. Nineteen students in a pilot for the Junior Program this year used knowledge they gained from Educare to design a conserva- tive energy system for the new student cen- ter. The students examined fossil fuel re- sources, solar technology, shade trees, air locks, and double-pane glass. They looked at blueprints for the center. Then they came up with a proposal for the administration. But even if their suggestions aren ' t put into practice, the project has given the students a lot to think about. We know we ' re not changing the world here, but we ' re learning something so we can change the world later on, Thomas Mill- er, one of the students in the program, said. Thomas Miller talks with Donna Heglar and Greg Epley about plans for the new student center.

In a Pioneer poll of 99 freshmen, the program received a 3.29 on a scale of one to 10. Educare is a general studies program designed to assist freshmen in making the transition from high school to col- lege. Students are enrolled in a Founda- tions of Civilizations class directly corre- lated to Freshman English 101 and 102. Freshmen meet with their advisors twice weekly for a review of the day ' s civiliza- tion class. The program has been selected for inclusion in a booklet of model programs published by the Community College Humanities Association and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. But many freshmen are unhappy. Grif- fith says he is aware of the discontent, but that much of it a result of a lack of communication. The problem began, he says, when many of the enrolling fresh- men were not notified about the mandatory program. The pro- gram was not approved by fac- ulty until December, too late for inclusion in the Admissions cata- log. Consequently, few freshmen were aware of the program be- fore orientation. The program has been includ- ed in th e catalog since August 1985. Meanwhile, the Educare pro- gram remains. What is missing from upper- classmen is shared experience, Griffith says. There isn ' t anything everyone has shared and can talk about. This is one of the rea- sons the freshman course is re- quired. This makes it easier to teach when a teacher knows everyone has shared the same experience. So, both for getting to feel a part of Catawba and having some shared base to learn from and talk about as a community, is what the program is all about. 178 Jennifer Archer shows a copy of Homer ' s Iliad, one of the required books for freshmen.

So is science. Take Dr. Daniel Kirk ' s mail-order turtles, for example. They were basking in the sun recently, 25 or them, fresh from Oshkosh, Wis., where they hatched last fall un- der the auspices of William A. Lemberger Co., Inc., a reptile and amphibian concern. Crowding in peat moss near one end of a refrigerator crisper set beside a window, a few of the friskier 50-cent-sized turtles stretched their necks and climbed uncerimoniously over the backs of their letargic brothers. Now they share an office with Kirk, professor of biology at Ca- tawba College. One of the few parisitologists in the state. Kirk will observe the creatures to deter- mine the effects of a parasite that infects a large proportion of painted turtles in the wild. The study will involve turtle electro- cardiograms and snails the size of a pinhead and a parasite that prefers to hatch between 4 and 7 o ' clock in the morning. Kirk, whom colleagues de- scribe as a gentleman and a scholar, has been fascinated with parisitology for 35 years. It ' s an exotic field of biology, he says. But the first time the subject was presented, I was in- terested, and my interest has continued to grow. That fascination has lead him to 25 green turtles with ornate undersides, ridged backs, and vivid red markings behind each eye. They ' re perfectly beauti- Dr. Kirk examines a turtle in his classroom laboratory. Photo by Wayne Hinshaw 182 ful, he says, picking one up. Kirk feeds his subjects lettuce, chopped liver, boiled eggs, and vitamin tablets and gives them a bit of sun each day. They require sunshine to keep their bones and shells from getting soft, he says. He expects this work to contrib- ute to the understanding of para- site damage in the animals ' hearts. Sounds simple, but it isn ' t. There ' s a tedium in all work in parasitolo- gy, says Kirk. It ' s a painstaking and sometimes frustrating work. Sometimes you work a long time and find out a year later you have been barking up the wrong tree. One gets an inkling of the pro- ject ' s complexity when Kirk ex- plains one of the preliminary steps — the cultivation of the Spirorchis elegans, the flatworm parasite that causes the heart damage. Blood flukes have a complicated life cycle, he says. Once the para- site eggs leave the body of the turtle, they hatch into microscopic larvae, which swim like little demons. They hatch between 4 and 7 o ' clock in the morning, living only a few hours. During this time they seek out their intermediate host, a particular snail which varies in size from a pinhead to the diameter of a wooden matchstick. It is here that they go through a second, third, and fourth larval stage, finally leaving their host ' s body after 11 p.m. Then they swim to their final host, the painted turtle. If left to Mother Nature, it weakens the tur- tle ' s heart, eventually causing death. Administrative Officers STEPHEN H. WURSTER, Ph.D., President ROBERT E.

So he gave them $3 million. The money, the largest single gift in Catawba ' s 135-year histo- ry, will support the new Ralph Ketner School of Business and help finance the construction of a new building to house the school. When Dr. Stephen Wurster an- nounced the gift at a Dec. 5 fac- ulty meeting, reactions were ap- propriately awed. Today your name is writ large in the history of this institution, Board chairman J. Fred Corriher told Ketner. We can never again think of Catawba without thinking of Ralph Ketner. In sharing the family wealth and success, said Capital Cam- paign chairman James F. Hurley, III, Ralph and his family are living to see how they are going to enrich the lives and enlarge the potential for hundreds of stu- dents for as long as there is a Catawba College.

Like when students clang their silver on the tables because someone dropped a tray in the cafe- teria. Or when underclassmen roast sen- iors in June. Or when everyone chides freshmen for not taking the elevator in the ad- ministration building. Or the Blue Masque Haunted House. Or Cosmo Blasts. Or ... Pine Knot residents sport short suits and sneakers for a home football game. Dressing up for games is a Pine Knot tradition. Other favorite fashions include tuxedos, bathrobes, and togas.

Faculty and students collected a moun- tain of toys for children at the Nazareth Children ' s home at Christmas. They gave up lunches and joined hands in a smaller version of the Hand Across America campaign to help underprivileged fam- ilies in the local community. Club groups worked in the community cleaning roads, delivering hot meals to shut-ins, coaching retarded athletes in the Special Olympics, and dishing up ice cream and a magic show for chil- dren at the Salvation Army center.
