Sutten O.K., face it. You’re stuck. Here you are with deadlines all around you. and you can't think of an open- ing sentence. At this rate we re going to have a big white space on page 2 instead of copy about every- thing that was packed into first semester Like the weekend cele- bration of 10 years of women on the Hill, with the parties and receptions and the coffeehouse put together by Kenyon women. And there were the fantastic swimmin' women, who won their fourth consecutive Ohio Small College Championship title. Remember the referendum that two students proposed to abolish stu- dent council and start a town meet- ing kind of government instead? That shook things up for awhile at the beginning of the semester, but council survived. And then there was the group of freshman girls who proposed Kenyon's first sorority and found themselves facing major opposition. We looked to the world beyond Gambier through efforts to aid the victims of the Cambodian holocaust; the Cross Country team’s 24-hour marathon run raised $1,972.50 for the cause. Closer to home, fund raising began for Ken- yen $5.5 million athletic recreatiQn convocation complex. And remem- ber the weekend of the Medieval Festival? It was filled with Renais- sance music and dance and capped with a banquet Saturday night fea- turing wenches, bagpipes, and a royal court. There was a super Folk Festival weekend a month later with Elizabeth Cotton. Ola Belle Reed and Family. Tracy's Family Band, the Hotfoot Quartet, and Kenyon's own Terry Schupbach telling stories and teaching dance. And how about the ... Oh well, does anybody ever read the copy anyway? r r 2 1.1 Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again. — Goethe Having survived a barrage of role calls, flashbacks and epitaphs for the 1970's, we returned to Gambier to face second semester and the new decade. Soon after. William Westmoreland and Ramsey Clark met here for a debate concerning American militarism. Westmoreland and Clark proved to be two of the most popular speakers of the year, attracting an overflow crowd to Rosse. Some 150 people held a can- dlelight anti-draft anti-war vigil on the Rosse steps before the debate. And there were other political dem- onstrations this semester. A World Symposium in March brought experts on the Arab Israeli conflict to campus for a weekend of lectures and a community march for world peace. The Kenyon Peace Coalition formed and members went to march in Washington D C. to protest nuclear proliferation. A Political Forum begun in the Collegian was filled with articles expressing a wide variety of opinions. In the midst of all this, several major Kenyon-related events took place. The powerful men's swimming team blew away its competition for a 27th consecutive OAC title. They later went on to cap- ture their first Division III National championship, beating the reigning Johns Hopkins by an amazing 46 points. Better facilities were prom- ised to all Kenyon athletes by the start of construction on the col- lege's new Athletic Recreation Convocation complex. Provost Bruce Haywood announced that he would accept the position of Presi- dent at Monmouth College in Illinois; the Provost Search Committee selected Dr. Jerry Irish, a prominent teacher and theologian to fill Hay- wood's place. Finally. 2 excellent performers came to Gambier. Blues master Lonnie Brooks set the field- house sizzling, and acoustic guitar specialist Leo Kottke gave a fantas- tic concert down on the football field, on a beautiful sunny Saturday just before everyone buckled down for finals ...

April 19th. 1980, college officials broke ground for the con- struction of Kenyon's new athletic recreation convocation center, the ARC. Designed as part of a plan to improve and renovate Kenyon's present athletic program, the new facility will allow increased practice space for general student use as well as for athletic programs. Cen- trally located for easy access, the ARC will feature an arena or gymna- sium area, a 153 foot swimming pool with a floating bulkhead, handball racquetball and squash courts, a health fitness room, and locker rooms. The center will also provide seats for up to 4000 people for con- vocation programs. Included in the ARC plan are the renovation of Wer- theimer Fieldhouse. the remodeling of Shaffer pool into a dance studio, and the building of new lighted ten- nis courts, a new track, and new fields. Athletic Director Jeff Vennell is confident that these plans will greatly expand Kenyon's physical education and recreational pro- grams. The estimated cost of these projects is $5.5 million, half of which had already been raised by ground- breaking day. Fund raising activities have included a valentine carnation sale and a 24 hour swim relay which involved not only students, but administrators and faculty members as well. The project will be com- pleted in approximately eighteen months and will be another valuable asset to the Kenyon community. 14 AK Lunch and dinner discussion tables were back in force this year, providing an enjoyable alternative to the basic hustle-bustle-crunch- whaddya say? SAGA experience. You could enjoy an international atmosphere, while testing your flu- ency. at the French. Spanish. Greek, or Italian table. If a discussion of world events or cultural affairs suited your palate, you could park your tray at an Association for Cul- tural Exchange dinner lecture. fea- turing topics from Cambodia to Ber- tohl Brecht. Dinner lectures were also periodically featured by the Women's Center as they attempted to put Kenyon students more in touch with feminist humanist issues. Many organizations found that dinner time was the best, if not the only time to gather busy mem- bers for a meeting. Whatever the topic, a cup of coffee and good con- versation proved a consistently pop- ular option. 1 When parents ask what there is to do at Kenyon, tucked out in the mid- dle of the Ohio countryside, stu- dents in the know are not at a loss for an answer. They have discov- ered the Colburn Gallery, cultural oasis of the north end. housing a plethora of imaginative and highly diverse exhibits. There they have experienced everything from ceram- ics to prints, in frequently changing displays. The Art Department's goal is to exhibit illustrations of all the media they teach. Works may be either imports from other galleries or the products of Kenyon faculty and students. Just a sampling of this year's exhibitions includes Japa- nese prints, sculpture, photography, ceramics, oil paintings, and the annual mini-art and multi-media competitive shows. In addition, the gallery sponsored a lecture series entitled “Masters of a Modern Sculpture and many other lectures dealing either with a current show or another topic of interest. They also arranged four trips to area museums for the Kenyon community, travell- ing to Cleveland. Cincinnati, Detroit, and Toledo. Thus, those few extra steps down to the Colburn or to a Colburn-sponsored event were well rewarded this year as in the past, for they contributed to an important aspect of liberal arts education. i COLLEGIAN, (second semester).

Visible instead was a set composed of steps, platforms, walls and paths destined to link the intricate com- plexities of the plot in this tale of good and evil. The Bolton stage exposed quite a different face for David Storey's Home. The set was bare and bleak in expectation of this tragic comic story of human sanity in a mental hospital. Second semes- ter found the Bolton once more the scene of much building and agita- tion for the fanciful and absurd Much Ado About Nothing, a play of mishaps and misdeeds, complete with happy endings. Finally, the stage was set for the drama of Sum- mer and Smoke by Tennessee Wil- liams. a catharsis for busy Kenyon students and their Parent's Week- end visitors. KCDC and the Drama department gave these, as well as Senior Thesis Productions in the Hill Theater, to fill Gambier with culture and entertain- ment. and this year the artistic auH of this small town did not end the May closing ol the college ec Walch.

NOAN3H QVJHU1A0 mm N3H awt'0 Aimovd Dateline Gambier: STUDENTS AND FACULTY UNITE IN A MAS- SIVE EFFORT TO BRING INTERNA- TIONAL INVOLVEMENT TO KEN- YON Soviet-American relations were a prominent topic as we entered the decade and were of particular con- cern to Professor Melanson of the Political Science department He was in charge of this Spring's lec- ture series and the Political Affairs Conference Center (PACC) confer- ence for Fall 1980. The lecture series was for the benefit of the entire Kenyon community. The Polit- ical Science department hoped to increase our involvement in interna- tional affairs through exposure to outstanding personalities whose int-.ests related to the issues sur- rounding Soviet-American interac- tion. September's PACC conference brought to Gambier a collection of prominent visitors, including several of the previous lecturers. They assembled to discuss Soviet-Ameri- can relations, and each wrote an essay for a book edited by Melanson and published by the University of Virginia Press. This year was exciting for the department in another way as well. The Political Science Club was founded by Diana Schaub and Bill Cook and grew steadily throughout the year. Objectives of the club include: bringing prominent lectur- ers to Kenyon, promoting academic excellence through discussion groups outside the class setting, developing student faculty interac- tion in a social atmosphere, and acquainting the Kenyon community with current political issues through a wide variety of media. The club got off to a good start as this year's activities included sponsoring a visit by Anthony Sullivan of the Earhart Foundation, holding a 500th birth- day party for Machiavelli. leading a debate on the SALT II treaty, and other panel discussions and lec- tures. 3 $ Evidence of the myriad activities going on in the music department popped up in some unusual places. For example, the homecoming game crowd was treated to a rag- time halftime show by Kenyon's own Easy Winners. And dinner in Peirce Hall was charmingly accom- panied one night by a string quartet which played from the balcony. This year also saw the arrival of distinguished piano composition theory professor Paul Posnak. Dr. Posnak studied under full scholar- ship at Julliard. is a member of the highly acclaimed and innovative Interaction Players, and was recently on the faculty at Mannes College of Music. In March of 1980 it was announced that he would give a solo performance at Carnegie Hall in May. Dr. Posnak plunged into music at Kenyon, giving numerous concerts and fascinating his stu- dents. He has even submitted to the college plans for a cultural perform- ing arts center to be located in an addition to Chalmers Library. It is obvious that the current center of the music department. Rosse Hall, will soon be bursting at the seams. The number of music majors, music classes and lessons, and Kenyon instrumental and vocal groups con- tinues to grow phenomenally. For example, there are now two choirs: the large Kenyon Community Choir and the smaller Chamber Singers, who had a successful tour to points northeast this Spring. And at this writing, candidates were being inter- viewed for a fourth faculty position, instructor of voice and theory. This year more than ever, music was firmly rooted on the Hill. I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it — Igor Stra- vinsky A revolution of sorts got underway in the Modern Foreign Languages and Literature department this year. The recent Presidential Commission report highlighting the nation s wide-spread ignorance of foreign languages and a $90,000 grant from the George Gund Foundation were major factors which led to Kenyon's adoption of an innovative new lan- guage program. The program, directed here by Professor Robert Seymour, was developed by John Rassias, a language professor at Dartmouth and a key member of the Presidential Commission. It involves intensive work, both with instructors and paid Junior and Senior apprentice teachers. With an emphasis upon snappy, attention- holding teaching methods, the pro- gram aims to give students the con- fidence necessary for self-expres- sion and the motivation and excite- ment for further learning. Rassias himself was here in February to hold a workshop for faculty members and to give a public lecture. He pointed out some shocking things, such as the fact that America is the only nation in the world where one can graduate from a university without studying a second language. He also kept the audience in stitches with stories of how American com- panies had inadvertently mistrans- lated their advertising slogans when they marketed their products in for- eign countries. In one instance, the makers of a soft drink wanted to invite foreign consumers to drink their soda and come alive. They ended up saying. Drink our soda and bring your ancestors back from the grave. As entertaining as these stories were, underlying them was the danger of America's growing isolation due to her ignorance of for- eign cultures. With the adoption of the Rassias program, the Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures Department has intensified its effort to combat that ignorance. - Jt m The phenomenal success of the now Kenyon Review surprised evoryone this year Busy editors Ron Sharp and Fred Turner could point to almost 20.000 sub- scribes for their quarterly, which cele- brated Its first anniversary just last Janu- ary No other American literary magazine can boast even half this number The list of notables contributing to the Review befits its reputation as the country's fore- most literary quarterly A Woody Allen short story and Georgo Steiner s full- length novel were published Samuel Beckett.

Not a figment of the soul but something that appears to the soul and demands tne soul s creative power, what is required is a deed that a man does with his whole being... — Buber wasn't a let down We d suspected it all along. And with that knowledge came some benefits. Arriving on campus it was comforting to find familiar faces. Behind the faces there were a few changes though Increased goal orientation was rampant. ( I have to work this year ) And if a few lifelong friends no longer seemed to recognize our existence, there were others The year brought new dorms, new friends, and new alliances It was almost sardonic to see the new freshmen and realize that missing a party or two was not the end of the world. But I'm getting cliche, and ai I really want to express is this: Col- lege did not fulfill all my expecta- tions. but in their places, it gave me new ones. — E. G. I speak from the wisdom of approximately 51 weeks at Kenyon. That adds up to a year, give or take a week, and represents my freshman year plus over half of my sophomore year, minus vacations. So although no authority. I may be in a position to comment on some aspect of what it means to be a student here, or any- where; perhaps it's universal. Sophomore year came as a great surprise to me. I must admit. Memo- ries of freshmanhood flooded back when I returned to Kenyon in the Fall, but they no longer held true. I recalled arriving at Gund in the pro- verbial station wagon, knowing no one at all. scared to extend myself beyond the boundaries of my wing. Dinner that first week: Do all the prep school kids have mutual friends in various localities? And On Finding the Santa Claus Suit _____, —— U IMOl 1 capitalized?) What are you wei ing?

Psychology I had a conversation with some- one the other night at the V.l. She asked if I was a Senior. When I said yes. she asked if I had been here for four years. Almost.” I said. Then she fixed me with a pitying look and said. You must like it here! I guess I do like it here or some- thing. Probably something. One of the nearest things I can think of to relate to the Kenyon Experience is something I read back in Psych 11-12 — when you isolate too many rats in too small a cage they start bit- ing each other's heads off. They drink too much water; they hoarde food; they mate like crazy ... but it's energy and if you have the right atti- tude you can cruise on it. Not every- one survives here, and as a matter of fact a lot don't. If you think back to your freshman wing or look at an old baby book you'll see what I mean. Of course people graduate now and then too. but they leave all the same. Some nights I'll be walking up by Bexley Place and I'll get this ter- rific sense of nostalgia. I can remember not only the people who lived in each apartment last year, but the year before as well, and sometimes even the year before that. I'll be about to walk into a place and suddenly realize that the people I've come to see have scattered to the four winds long ago. By the time you're a Senior this college is booby-trapped with ghosts. Class- rooms. library carrels, bar stools — all touchstones to some memory. Kenyon's like a long-running play where the actors change all the time but the set remains the same. Some- day even dear President Jordan will be just another portrait in the dining hall. It seems to me that the happiest people here are the Sophomores. They swagger around like old hands, always the loudest people at the V.l. They're so busy finalizing their personalities that they haven't started to worry about the real world. Seniors on the other hand, are usually quite numb, shell- shocked in the face of the void. Some go through drastic personality changes, tossing their T-shirts, buy- ing Dress for Success, and learning how to wear a three-piece suit. My P.O. box mate has received some- thing from every law school in Amer- ica. and even a few applications from Ecuador. A girl I was talking to at dinner told me that she had over- come her aversion towards working for a monopoly, but still couldn't find it in her conscience to work for an Oil company. Scruples. I suppose at college they're as easy to get as to lose. Personally. I'd like to be like Ash Robinson in that great book Blood and Money, who. as a penni- less young man. told his future wife that he had no idea as to what he was going to do, but he intended to have a whole hell of a lot of fun find- ing out. I don't have any regrets about leaving, and I'm sure few Seniors do. At this stage of the game it's all getting pretty old. which is funny because the academics are peak- ing. You’ll see people who have stayed up seventy-two hours to do their Comps walking around mutter- ing They can't fail me ... can they? Of course they can and do sometimes, and I imagine it's like getting tied on the last play of the game. Overtime. Assuming you get through all that, there's Senior Week If you really want to see a bunch of crazy rats, stick around then. I've watched the process the last two years with a combination of amusement and awe. There's this powerful feeling of apocalypse: Oh my God. III neve' see you again! I'll never be he® again! I guess it won't be so funny when it's happening to me this yea' My roommate says he plans to dnn beer and play soft ball during Senior Week, which doesn't sound like a bad plan at all. I'm sure the yearbook staff picked out some great quotes ro various literary luminaries t a- express the character of this and I'm not going to compete _ them. My old yearbooks have ap quotes from such different w™ as Tristan Tzara and Robert Warren, but to really understa four years at Kenyon, you have « have been here, been here remember it. and then gone ou done it some more.

Religion ... if prudence develops through experience, does hon- our of possessing a claim to it rightly belong to the wise man who attempts nothing, partly through his sense of propriety, partly through his natural timidity, or to the fool who isn't deterred from anything either by the propriety which he hasn't got or the dangers which he doesn't think about? The wise man seeks refuge in his books of antiquity and learns from them the pure subtleties of what the ancients say. The fool tries everything, meets his dangers at first hand, and thereby acquires what I'm sure is genuine prudence. — Erasmus. In Praise of Folly Debbie Walters.

Its 16 mem- bers integrated group living and campus and community service and had a great time in the process. The blueprint for this unusual set-up was established last year on McBride's first floor, where some of the co-op members lived as freshmen. This group of friends emerged as the organizers of parties and hall activi- ties; they took an initiative rarely found on freshman halls. Their group established itself last Spring in its first campus-wide activity: Co- op Productions presented the film Animal House. The following year, the McBride crew was enlarged and transplanted to Mather's penthouse as the co-op. l-fl. 1« row Doug Cob � , Jun Mckoy. Marty Beall Pat OOan.el. Rarph Sm.tr 2nd row Oan Johnaon.

V Nuovo 1 5 $ si (Hptfilon The men endeavored to live co- operatively”. i.e.. to create, with lim- ited license, their own living envi- ronment This included full respon- sibility for maintenance of the co-op. Thus, with no college service to clean bathrooms or fix broken heat- ers. and an anxious administration observing from the flanks, the co-op came to life. Its members helped with freshman orientation, hosted faculty receptions, and in the mean- time redecorated their lounge, which is now complete with panell- ing and a wet bar. The co-op's inde- pendent art talents set up exhibits in the lounge; they also manned Ken- yon's first photography store which was initiated by Tom Grimes and is located in the Craft Center. Fre- quent Parties were no problem. Co- op member Neil Trueblood said that there was always a celebration in the planning ... or in the process. He went on to state. I think we've succeeded. We've demonstrated creativity in group housing. It would certainly seem so. for several new housing groups will follow the co-op's refreshing lead next year. T«.lol o«om S � � S � m.r.

Be O FOOTBALL No noble thing can be done without risks. — Montaigne Kenyon's talented football team experienced a frustrating season as they ended the year with a record of 2 wins and 7 losses. This record however, is hardly indicative of how close the team came to a winning season. With a defense ranked near the top of the Ohio Conference, the Lords took on one of the toughest Division III football leagues in the country. Unfortunately, fate was against the Luckless Lords as they experienced bad breaks and plenty of injuries Their young and inexperienced offense was incon- sistent, leaving the defense as the only key to Kenyon s success At the end of the season. Mike Svihra and Tom Bentley were named to the 1979 Little All-American Football Team by the Associated Press. Head Coach Tom McHugh is uncer- tain about next year, as most of the tough defense will graduate and a new defense will have to be devel- oped. BASEBALL When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not. — Mark Twain The baseball team started strong, winning their season openers against Mt. Union and Mt. Vernon Nazarene, but ended up with a dis- appointing 5-12 record. Coach Tom McHugh stated that poor hitting and being rained out of a number of games caused the problems. He lauded his team s pitching ability however, and pointed to outstand- ing performances by catcher Skip Rowe, pitcher Joe Genre, and out- fielders Kevin Spence. Nelson Roe. and Keith Studzinski. Though Genre. Spence. Roe. and Studzinski were all departing seniors. McHugh still spoke enthusiastically about his 1981 team, citing the return of pitch- ers Tom Cooper and Mike Voigt and the arrival of a strong freshman pitcher as reasons. The course of true anything never does run smooth. — Samuel Butler This was a breakthrough year for the cross country team. They devel- oped a new depth and ran away with a stupendous 11-1 record. Though no team member emerged as domi- nant, sophomore Jeff Cahn finished twenty-third out of ninety-nine start- ers in the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Cross Country Championships. Co-captains Jim Reisler and Tim Hayes, along with Coach Nick Houston, led the team's men and women in their super sea- son. The Lords placed seventh out of fourteen in the OAC Champion- ships. zr v.' CROSS COUNTRY MEN’S LACROSSE Say I'm a philosopher, say I'm a seeker for truth, say I'm a lover of my kind; or, best of all. just say I'm a Student. — Henry James. Sr. 173 This was a disappointing year for the men's lacrosse team. In the face of an extremely rough schedule and 7 injured players, they played spo- radically. at times losing in the final breathtaking minutes of a match and at times not seeming competitive throughout an entire game Coach Jim Heiser hopes to improve on this year's 2-9 season by keeping more of his returning players healthy and tapping promising freshman talent next year 174 WOMEN’S LACROSSE Presumption is our natural and original infirmity. The frailest and most vulnerable of all creatures is man. and at the same time the most arrogant. — Montaigne In a major improvement over last year's 5-7 record, this year's wom- en's lacrosse team sported a 6-2 season. The Ladies lost only to Denison, in 2 separate games. Sen- ior Ann Meyer was the team's cap- tain and most valuable player, and exciting performances were put in by a large number of team members. With only 2 of the Ladies. Meyer and Lynn Protho, graduating. Coach Karen Burke had a team with a lot of potential on hand for next year. • WOMEN’S TENNIS Let me tel! you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity. — Louis Pasteur Though Coach Sandy Martin had wanted her tennis team to do a little bit better, she said that she was gen- erally pleased with their 5-5 season. Lingering inexperience and the unexpected pre-season loss of a top player may have held the Ladies back somewhat, but did not prevent them from placing 2nd in the Central Satellite Tournament at Wooster and 7th out of 22 in the State Tour- nament at Ohio Weslyan. Martin had high praise for singles player Kathy Jameson, whose record was 9-1. and doubles players Jennifer Lan- caster and Martha Land, who had an 8-2 record. In addition, the coach looked to the 1981 team as very promising. I MEN’S TENNIS The maturity of man — to have reacquired the seriousness he had as a child at play. — Nietzsche Coach Steen described this year as the best season of men's tennis he's seen since coming to Kenyon. He had good reason to. The team came up with a 9-1 record, placing first of four in the Calvin College Invitational and second of five in the Great Lakes College Association Tournament. In addition, they fell just one match short of winning an OAC championship title. Steen called his team well balanced, men- tioning the valuable contributions of senior co-captains Peter Vander- berg and Peter Flanzer. He also stated that next year's team looked very strong, with five returning let- termen and the arrival of 2 promis- ing freshman players. 7t Vc— WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Life is barren enough surely with all her trappings; let us therefore be cautious how we strip her. — Samuel Johnson The women's basketball team was plagued by many problems this year as they ended the season with a dis- appointing 3-10 record. The season had an optimistic start as the team split their first two games, but their lack of experience, teamwork, defensive rebounding and balanced scoring caught up with them. Anne Himmelright and captain Mary Ash- ley. the only experienced players on the team, led the Ladies in scoring and rebounding. The team showed significant improvement through the season, which culminated in their triumphant win over Oberlin. The outlook appears bright for next year according to Coach Karen Burke, as this year's entire team will return experienced and ready to battle the tough OAC competition. St� i n TRACK The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult. — Marquise du Deffand men's outdoor track team competed very well, again breaking several records and amassing their largest number of qualifiers for the OAC outdoor championship in a numbet of years. Mulligan called distance runner Rob Standard and long anc triple jumper Dave Thomas, whc provided needed depth in the fiek events, his most valuable tea members, citing also the perform ances of Oliver Knowlton and Free Barends. The entire team must tx credited for this year of grea improvement. Mulligan also coached women’! outdoor track and called this tea well balanced despite their sma number. Composed of nine people the team was sometimes down t five due to injuries. They did ho ever manage to place in several inv tationals against teams much large than theirs. Again. Gail Daly was th captain and performed outstand ingly. The men's indoor track and field team was highly competitive when it stayed on the track this year. It fea- tured senior Oliver Knowlton. who broke the school record for the two mile and junior Rob Standard, who tied the Kenyon record for the mile. In addition, there were strong per- formances by many other runners, especially a new crop of distance runners. Unfortunately, the field events proved the Lords' nemesis, dragging down their scores at all their meets. The Ladies indoor team was also competitive, finishing with a 3-3 record and taking third place in the Ohio Division III championship. The team was led by record setters Wendy Eld (880,1000, mile), captain Gail Daly (600. tied 440). and Chris Galinat (2 mile). Despite these per- formances however, the Ladies hopes were somewhat dampened by a rough schedule and a lack of team scores Coach Mulligan stated that the GOLF The world is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel. — Horace Walpole Coach Zak's golf team was young this year, including 4 freshmen. The good thing about this is, of course, that the team can build on its many returning players, and Zak looked forward to this next year. Lack of experienced golfers hurt the 1980 team though. They placed 11th out of 13 in OAC competition and had no all-conference players. Out- standing sophomore John Griffin did win the Kenyon Invitational how- ever. and was the team's most valu- able player. Zak also cited the strong contribution of captain and departing senior Rich Hebert. WOMEN’S SOCCER Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing that none but fools would keep. — William Shakespeare I The spirited women's soccer team, led by coaches Richard Dan- forth and Tom Robinson, played competitively, though they finished with a disappointing 1-6 record. Their basic problem was lack of players. This caused problems with dwindling stamina as team members were forced to play for the duration of the game with little rest. Once, the team even recruited non-players for a match. The Ladies practiced intently to combat their problems however, and enjoyed playing the fast, thrilling game of soccer. The women's volleyball team started weak but came back strong, ending the year with an impressive 15-11 record. The Ladies improved greatly this season, doubling last year's wins. Co-Captains Lauren Weiner and Karen Stevenson led the strong-serving squad with Lauren capturing the MVP award. Coach Sandy Martin stressed consistency throughout the season, and was pleased when her team went on to take third out of seven at Ohio Wes- lyan University's Satellite Tourna- ment. Most of the team will return next year when the Ladies will work to develop a stronger record. I ’« ro Co � SaMh. SttMOft. Lauron (cooactt ). K«r o ' ' ■ Coach Sixt, UontJ MoUwarth. HMry 07 Hutch . B© MHO La-gh MahChaB. Sandy Wuma WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice. — Archibald MacLeish Kenyon s women's swim team had an exciting and competitive season. The mers dealt blow after blow during the year after a slow start at the Oberlin Relays. In dual meets, the Ladies experienced a crushing loss to Wooster but bounced back to annihilate Ohio Wesleyan University in a contest which Coach Jim Steen termed one of the finest women's meets ever at Kenyon. At the Women s Small College Swimming and Diving Championships at Denison Univer- sity, the purple tide fought a close battle with Wooster and came out on top, as the Ladies won their fourth consecutive State Championship. A definite streak was in the making. WOMEN’S SWIMMING My heart bids me do it. if I can, and it is a thing possible to do. — Homer I I I II I MEN’S SWIMMING We act as though it were our mission to bring about the triumph of truth, but our mission is only to fight for it. — B'ai Pascal The 79-80 men's swimming teanr was one of the largest and strongest in Kenyon's history. Dominating the All-Ohio relays and Ohio small col- lege meets, the competition was such that the Lords swam events other than their specialties. The swimmers hoarded National qualify- ing times and broke records con- stantly Their great depth and indi- vidual performances were reached through hard physical work and support among the team members. At the OAC championship meet, the unshaved and untapered swimmers beat their nearest competition. Denison University, by 275 points and won their twenty-seventh straight victory To top it off. the team later beat favored and three times winner John Hopkins Univer- sity after losing to them earlier in the year. Thus. Kenyon's men's swim- ming team won their first national title since the institution of Division III in 1973. The Lords captured five first places and Tim Glasser was named the Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet There were also lots of individual victories as the team, in the words of Coach of the Year Jim Steen, tapped their own potential. 1(4 Vom HEIDELBERG KENYON MUSKINGUM W1TTENBER1 BOOSTER All was not lost until the moment when all had succeeded. — Napoleon Bonaparte The men's basketball team failed to play up to their potential as they ended their season with an 11-3 record The Lords inconsistently won and lost games but managed to advance to the OAC's Northern Divi- sion Finals. There they suffered a disappointing loss to the Ohio Northern University team, which later won the OAC championship. Our extremely competitive team experienced problems with their defense and. as seen by coach Jim Zak. defense seems to be the key to success in the OAC. Outstanding performances were put in by Bill Melis, sophomore starting center on the team, who has been chosen to play on a Greek-American All Star team touring Europe this summer, and All-American Scott Rogers, the defending NCAA Division III scoring champion. Rogers was named OAC scoring champion and became one of the four Kenyon Players ever to score over 2000 points He was also the first Kenyon athlete to be nomi- nated for selection for the U S. Olympic basketball team. MEN’S BASKETBALL MEN’S SOCCER We lost because we told ourselves we lost. — Leo Tolstoy The men s soccer team ended their 1979-80 season with last year’s 5-7-1 record, but this year was a time of changes for the group The arrival of new Coach Jeff Vennell brought alterations in coaching tac- tics and a new approach to the game. The Lords needed to adjust. The team lost their first four games but improved significantly during the season. They later defeated Deni- son. the mideast s tenth ranked team, for the first time in ten years Walter Cabot and goalie Frank Spaeth each won OAC Soccer Player of the Week, while Cabot and Jerry Stone were voted to the All OAC'S Soccer First team. Stone also made All-Ohio Honorable Men- tion Squad and Cabot was honored with a place on the second team of the All-Ohio Squad and an Honora- ble Mention on the All-Mideast team Coach Vennell is optimistic about next year, due to the return of four- teen lettermen. He sees the team as becoming ever and ever more com- petitive. FIELD HOCKEY But you want to do the thing that is good, whether it is suitable for a woman or not. — Florence Nightingale The Ladies, led by senior Co-Cap- tams Barb Robinson and Anne Bush, played an extremely strong game this year. Faced with a highly competitive schedule, they came through with a 6-4(1) record. Com- bining strong defense and quick offense, they played an excellent running game, the culmination of which was their 2-0 win over top- ranked Kent State. The team is very young, and Coach Karen Burke believes that the Ladies can look forward to being the team to beat in the coming years V A PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. David A Anderson Anonymous Dr. and Mrs. E M Antila arwebb office equipment, inc.
