The lance was distributed every two weeks. 1T0 speak, to students with practical exper- ience in all facets of radio broadcasting. According to general manager Dan Prater, the station underwent a 100 percent change. llThe students used to look at KECC as a time to come in and goof around with radio equipment, but now we want everything operated professionally. With the addi- tion of ABC news on the hour and a conversion to all con- temporary Christian music, dee jays had to plan a tighter schedule with carefully select- ed music. Journalism majors have two outlets for their creative abilities, the lance and the Excalibur. Whether writing, editing, designingfor taking pictures, students found where their interests and abilities lay by using them. They also became aware of things that will be a part of their jour- nalism careers, such as dead- lines, rewrites, and the reward- ing feeling of seeing something they worked on in print. x write, to act Students with majors out- side of communications also worked on student publica- tions. Senior Brenda Taylor is a imath major but also copy editor of the Excalibur. I plan on teaching junior high and I want to be able to help students with extracurricular activities. Working on the 'yearbook gives me experience that I can use when I teach. The areas of speech and .drama offered guidance towards teaching either of these, directing church drama and media programs, or being part of a professional dramatic ministry. A new full-time professor, David Smith, was added to help instruct the growing area of dramatic arts. Although the facilities need to be improved, he had a positive outlook for drama produc- tions. Students also traveled to other colleges for speech toUrnaments as a part of lnter-Collegiate Forensics. - Eileen Trupia e lance lab staff: front row - Cherrise Corbin, Becky Walters, Terry Merical, Diana Hanneman, Michele Prentice, .

Candy Tachick, senior, is in the beginning stage of forming her work of art on the wheel. posters, art affected every- one on campus. Classes ranged from Art Appreciation to Graphic Arts, giving fresh- men, as well as art majors, a chance to develop an aware- ness and a skill unique to the visual senses. We seem to be at a place in a cycle where we have a large proportion of new students who are performing at a fairly high level and are exhibiting a good deal of enthusiasm and perseverance, commented Ray Smenner, assistant professor of art and department head. These diligent students kept busy with sculptures, paintings, pastels, ceramics, and drawings. Seniors Cliff Spencer, Candy Tachick, Lisa Pender and Ellen Putman displayed their four years of work April 4-12. A combina- tion of weavings, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and drawings transformed the Administration Building lobby into a mini- art gallery. Two new teachers joined F rom backdrops to election Robin Patterson, freshman, intently studies her subject as she draws. Concentration is a requirement for a good drawing. Art rendering experience the staff. Carol Thomas and Mark Oberbeck each taught a class. Miss Thomas taught Art for Teachers for elementary education majors and Ober- beck instructed the ceramics classes. Frankie Baugh, freshman, commented on the teachers, saying, The instructors really care. They give a lot of time for their students. Junior Lori Killingbeck added, The professors really know their material and they help you to understand it. My horizon has been broadened, but my personal tastes remain the same. Graphic Arts II was offered for the first time during the spring semester, giving stu- dents a chance to further develop in the area of graphics. Posters, t-shirt logos, club logos and paintings could be seen everyday, reminding students of the creative and dedicated people known as art majors. 6 Sue Inks Senior Danny Diorio draws a model during advanced art class.
