Lewis 2 Prologue 1976: What distinguished this academic year from any other? The developments in current affairs ? The Patty Hearst trial? The deaths of billionaires Howard Hughes and J. Paul Getty? Civil war in Lebanon? Or conflict in South Africa, or Entebbe airport in Uganda, or Angola, with its threat of U.S. involvement? Or even Henry Kissinger, whose globe-trotting personal diplomacy began to jangle the nerves of the nation? Is a year to be remembered for its tragedies and misfortunes? Or would that be missing the forest for the trees ? — ate te eee | ee ee ee , nor fruit be on the vines “Though the fig tree do not blossom, the produce of the olive fail = ye za ow - z Ww. 9 m .

Election year 1976: How long will that be a focal point in our memories of a year? As Jimmy Carter of Georgia systematically excluded other contenders to wrap up ano longer heated Demo- cratic race, as President Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan locked horns ina struggle between ideologies, a nation rolled its sleepy eyes. The long Democratic procession of Jackson, Harris, Bentsen, Udall, Wallace, Bayh, Sanford, Shriver, Schapp, Church, Brown, and the notable absence of Humphrey and Kennedy, bored the nation, and the repetitious rhetoric of the Republican contenders did little but improve Carter’s lead in the polls. Is that all there is to a year? 4 Prologue “Democracy is not self-executing. We have to make it work, and to make it work we have to understand it. Sober thought and fearless criticism are impossible without critical thinkers and thinking critics. Such persons must be given the opportunity to come together, to see new facts in the light of old principles, to evaluate old principles in the light of new facts, and by deliberation, debate, and dialogue to hammer out the consensus that makes democracy possible. And this, as We all know well, though some of us forget from time to time, requires intellectual independence, impenitent speculation, and freedom from political pressure.” — Adlai Stevenson “Party is the madness of the many for the gain of the few.” — Jonathan Swift Prologue 5 Should the year be remembered as the Bicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of In- dependence? Certainly that was foremost in the minds of a large portion of America’s 215 million citizens as the year progressed. But after it has passed, is that all that will be said of 1976? That it provided a year-long birthday party ? Or will we remember only the glitter and the hype, the fireworks and kitsch? Will we remember the Minuteman drills, the battle re-enactments, the newly-cemented flagpoles? Will we remember the Bicentennial mugs and ashtrays, the plaster and plastic replicas of George Wash- ington and the Liberty Bell, the specially-minted commemorative medals and coins ? “Man, proud man! drest ina little brief authority . .. plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep.” — William Shakespeare Measure for Measure “Guard against the postures of pretended patriotism.” 6 Prologue — George Washington Or will our memories hold something more im- portant — a sense of heritage, valiantly cham- pioned in television specials soonsored by IBM, Xerox, and Hallmark, yet almost lost in the re- action against the Bicentennial ? Will we recall instead the special presentations, the art ex- hibits, the dramatic performances, the craft fairs that emphasized what the nation had grown through? Will we remember the tours, the homes, the buildings, the landmarks, the shrines of our national history and the homage we paid them? Will we remember our search for an island of peace through a retrospective glance at the foundations of our national culture ? “People will not look forward to posterity who never look backwards to their ancestors.” — Edmund Burke 8 Prologue Pa eo PF Pe “No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by afirm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue, and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” — Patrick Henry ON he “Whatever makes the past, the distant or the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings. ... That man is little to be envied whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of lona.”’ . — Samuel Johnson Prologue 9 _ But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself.” — Philippians 3:20-21 At such a time, the Christian steps back to reflect on his heritage — a heritage far older and richer than that of one nation. For the Christian heritage is as rich as the heritage of mankind itself — or richer, since the Christian heritage stretches back to the foundations of time. The Christian heritage is God’s master plan for mankind, worked out through the slow process of maturing. Made in God’s image, imbued with the dignity of causality, with freedom of choice, man grows. He grows into conscious obedience, a reasoned approach to life, and to God. Prologue 11 As a nation searches for an island of peace, a break from the pressures of the world, some complete their search, eking out such a hiatus for themselves. By consent of administration, faculty, and students, Lipscomb limits itself to its own confidence in Christian values and God’s truth. It provides a brief respite in the quick pace of maturity, a respite in which the student can reflect, can gain a sense of per- spective and establish a sense of direction. 12 Prologue % é ms rent mh a 4 bs est “Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches, but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that |am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things | delight, says the Lord.” — Jeremiah 9:23-24 Prologue 13 With life thus simplified, with time standing vir- tually still, one has time to define himself, to al- low God’s maturing action to work. Unlike the larger university where in dividuality is perpetu- ated only in spite of the monolithic system, the small college affords opportunities to grow, through forming friendships, through participat- ing in activities, through learning about God and man, to set ourselves apart from one another and know who we are and why we are here. 14 Prologue “And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ . .. Weare to grow up In every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.” — Ephesians 4:11-16 Prologue 15 “Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”’ | John 3:2 16 Prologue APPREHENSION Freshmen 18 ASSOCIATION Social Clubs 34 Sophomores 70 Homecoming 88 PARTICIPATION Performance 108 Sports 140 Organizations 170 Juniors 188 EDIFICA TION Christian Life 202 Administration 216 Faculty 240 APPRECIATION Honors 258 Seniors 278 Index 294 a ‘jn es) SS AN � 4 By 4 ¥ backlo david Lipscomb: college : nashville, TENNESSEE volume 55, “a yy ' ' , Vy z yw I “We should welcome the excesses of youth just as we welcome the exuberance of spring, looking forward with delight to the time when people with such an imaginative program for life mellow and mature — not only gentle as doves, but wise as serpents.” — Alan Watts “Emulation is the spur of wit, and sometimes envy, sometimes admiration quickens our endeavors.” — Patercidus “It’s good to hope; it’s the waiting that spoils it.” — Yiddish proverb It will happen again and again in life: He will be initiated, he will find himself bewildered by anew experience, by anew system; but each time he will face it with the same trepidation, with the same deep feeling of uneasiness at the newness and the uncertainty of it. He is an unknown, and he is unknowing. He Is a stranger to whomall others are strangers. He feels an impulse to rush in, to immerse himself in the life of the new community, but his response is tentative, halting. He eagerly wishes to prove himself, but is paralyzed by fear that he might fail. Thus he may do nothing. Or he may express his frustration in uncontrolled bursts of activity, in pranks, in rough-house gestures. What he will become he does not know, but he forms a model toward which he will strive — poorly at times, at times perfectly, but more often merely ploddingly. And he will hope.

Freshmen 19 At registration, people try to convince Big John that “O’Brien” goes with the O’s, not the B’s. At registration there’s always someone who gets a Coke before he gets his class cards. At registration, everyone complains that the only time they ever get to register first is in the summer, and they don’t even come to school in the summer. At registration, everyone skips the Bible desk until last — not because those who are last shall be first, but because they're afraid Leisure Time Activities will be closed. At registration, people who thought they’d get out of classes at noon have emotional breakdowns when the only Fresh- man English section that’s still open is at three. At registration, there’s always someone you want to avoid who’s got the same courses you’ve got. At registration, you always try to convince Dr. Slaughter that you’re a senior, and you've got to have P.E. to graduate. At registration, they always give you a chapel seat in the middle. At registration, the guy in front of you at the business office desk never knows how to add and they’ve got to refigure his bill. At registration, the machine that laminates I.D.’s eats yours. At registration, they run out of cookies just as you get to the counter. At registration, you try all the locked doors first--then you find the door marked “‘Exit’”. At registration, someone always tells how much worse regis- tration was at the state school they went to last year. Rebecca Brock ® McMinnville, Tn. David Brown ® Nashville, Tn.

The freshman glances at his schedule card as inconspicuous- ly as possible. Room 324— that must be in Burton, he con- cludes. He climbs the stairs, checking the schedule card with the registrar’s schedule he picked up at registration to make sure he copied the room and time correctly. He squints through the little hole in the door to see if the room has any identifying characteristics. No ... wait! Someone has the book on his desk. Full of confidence, the freshman pulls open the door and walks in, looking for any face he might recognize from the dorm. Failing that, he sits down, near enough to others in the class not to appear anti-social, but not so near that proximity could establish a relationship. He speaks to no one. It’s much too early in the quarter for that. But he sees everyone, and everyone sees him. Therefore, he begins the process of looking unobtrusive: He opens a chemistry book and begins reading in the middle of the second chapter. He knows this fools no one: It’s eight o’clock; he obviously hasn’t been to chemistry yet; he couldn’t have an assign- ment. But chemistry is an impressive subject, and everyone else is using the same ploy anyway — or one very much like it. One is rubbing a little too frantically at a smudge on his cuff; another is intently reading the markings on her desk; a third is rattling through her purse in search of a pencil. Each person lets time and silence speak for him, es- tablishing identity while maintaining defenses. The teacher arrives. He has stalled his entrance until after time for class to begin so that he, too, can avoid interaction. It is, after all, much too early in the quarter for that.

This most peculiar beast, accustomed to a comfortable habi- tat with doting mother (exemplar umbilicus) and avuncular football coach (taurus ignorus) is suddenly thrust into a brave new world called college, a place where boys become men and girls become wives. What is the lonely freshman to do in such a hostile environ- ment? He wants to be a social animal, yet he is ill at ease in this foreign land. He craves acceptance, yet to the older members of the herd he is just another newcomer. Retain- ing the fur of his homeland with the brand of his hometown herd emblazoned across his back, he seeks to astound his peers with the elegance of his coat. Alas, this seldom works. When the herd decides to choose a leader, the freshman beast eagerly participates in the process, looking forward to the day when he can be the strongest of them all. But he is still rejected. His mane is always too long or too short. He is proud and boastful, always striving to prove his superior speed. He frolics about the edge of the herd, gaining only the studied inattention of his elders. And he is lonely. So he decides to find a mate (cutus frolicus) . But, sadly, the females of the herd pay him but scant atten- tion. He struts brashly before them, bellowing loudly and chewing his cud. Yet he receives no response. The females remain demurely at the side of the elders. At this the fresh- . man is astounded. Before, in his homeland, where he was the leader of the herd, the females had adored him and al- ways complimented him on the smoothness of his fur. But alas! Here he is ignored. He takes leave of the world of reality and embraces the memory of those golden days at home. Toremind him of those times, he wears a small golden ring on his hoof. But fear not, poor beast. These are but your salad days. Your time will come. You, too, will grow horns and attain maturi- ty. You will become the leader of the herd one day. And on that day, when the beasts gather at dusk on the silver plain to grub and scratch and bellow, you will bellow the loudest of all. Leo Curtis Greer, Jr. e Hendersonville, Tn.

On Thursday evening at supper, the feeling permeates the air with a severe urgency; it’s time to go home. The rest of Thursday night is spent in packing and decid- ing which Friday afternoon classes can be cut without one feeling too many guilt pangs. Then comes Fri- day with its one class, chapel, lunch and leaving. What is home? Home is a small southern town not more than seven- ty miles away, complete with a square guarded by a statue of a con- federate volunteer who for some obscure reason gazes south. While at home, clothes must be washed, Grandmother visited, and prayer led at Sunday morning service before returning to Nashville after lunch. Of course, one cannot go home without making extensive plans at the beginning of the quarter. The traveler always finds it best to pick the four hour classes which don’t meet on Friday and an early Bible class which won't detain him at one or two. Long range plans must also be made — concerning exams. For the fellow who wants to be quick on the go, it would be so convenient to take all exams on Monday: The memories are worth the academic sacrifice in the end. Consider the Thanksgiving-Christ- mas dilemma: The fervant sojourner leaves on Wednesday afternoon of Thanksgiving holiday, returns late Sunday afternoon, only to spend ten days of classes and exams before turning toward home once again. Who, therefore, are the innocent victims of this pernicious habit? It would have to be the holidays. As far as Lipscomb was concerned, pumpkins and hearts were extinct on this campus as everyone was “celebrating” back in the ole home- town with the rest of the good ole boys.

It begins early each quarter as Fanning girls stealthily begin hoarding toilet tissue; but as the pressures of finals week begin to seethe, plans are laid for a nocturnal attack on the courtyard. The word is passed. The forces muster. The rolls are checked. Finally the signal is given and the troops move out. Under cover of darkness, they deck their balconies with streams of paper and do battle with the frustrations that provoke the attack. In the end, no one comes out the winner. Dog-weary rollers roll into bed, Miss Gleaves orders a clean-up, and Fanning goes with- out. Freshmen 27 28 Freshmen Teresa O’Daniel @ New Jacksonville, Tn. Cindy L. O’Neal © Lewisburg, Tn.

It is an age-old Lipscomb tradition, the kind that perpetuates itself not so much out of oral transmission nor tacit suggestion by society, but merely by the exigencies of the life situation. When one comes to Lips- comb, he or she (and the pheno- menon seems more pronounced in the female than the male, although by no means absent in the latter) be- gins a search for a partner with whom to eat. And the search, though fulfilled on a daily basis quite successfully by most, is never engagement to which you are al- ready late and thus can’t be bothered with company. To “How's it going?” retort: ‘“Can’t talk now, I’ve got to run,” etc. . Take a table by a window and look contemplatively at the elementary children at recess. To all queries, respond only with a vacant stare and a dreamy sigh. . Sitand watch people’s faces with a bemused smile on your own. Particularly effective during pledging periods. Respond nor- ended until one graduates. For even mally to greetings, but chuckle such eventualities as engagement or occasionally. choosing a roommate whose 5.

In- deed, one often finds somebody who fits such categories joining the common mass who run wild-eyed through the dormitory halls, des- perate to find a dining partner. For at Lipscomb there is an overwhelm- ing prejudice, a certain pall of un- acceptability that attends any person sitting alone at table. So what is done when none can be found with whom to eat? Tradition again fills the gap. For there are time-honored ways of escaping one’s fate: Things To Do When Eating Alone . Take along a book so you can break it out and appear to be busi- ly writing a rough draft of a paper. In support of this plan, when people say, ““How’s it going?”” reply with, ‘I’m so tired of history I can’t stand it” or “Busy, busy, busy.” . Eat with both hands, stuffing food in your mouth as fast as possible to make it appear you have a vital alist. To any question respond, “| grow old, | grow old, | shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.” . Hum old Joni Mitchell tunes and make people think you’re an in- dividualist. If you are greeted, which is doubtful, rejoin with “Go placidly amid the noise and haste ...”” . Refuse to shave put on make-up comb your hair and make people think you’re an individualist. If any are so foolish as to approach, give them a withering stare — un- less it’s someone you want to sit with. . Screw up your courage, man your battle stations, and sit down with some person taking one of the above postures. Begin conversa- tion with, ‘‘How’s it going?” or “How’s your quarter?” or “What's your major?” There is danger here that the person may not be lone- ly, but merely busy, disdainful, or individualistic. In such cases, sound a decisive and hasty retreat. Freshmen 29 30 Freshmen It ain’t like it used to be ... back in the late sixties and early seventies when things seemed so much clearer. We could wait anxiously for the big snow to come, and when it did, things came alive. Why, just four years ago it was December 1864, and the Battle of Nashville was being reenacted on the Lipscomb campus... Gathering en masse around the Great Bison, we divided into our forces, North and South. We, the confederates, definitely had the numerical advan- tage, but, as always, they had maneuv- erability in tactical affairs. At the first whistle, the troops lined up in forma- tion waiting for the signal of the first charge. With the tension building, the whistle sounded again and the first foray ensued — an all-out barrage of white balls filled the air. At some unde- termined signal the lines retreated back to their original positions to re- gain needed energy for the next attack. The second and third battles followed, but the fight still honored the chivalric code of respected boundaries. After the third attack, however, something strange started happening: the North started employing renegades, mercen- aries, who worked behind southern lines, eventually creating not a gentle- man’s fight, but a barbarous melee. This treacherous action on the part of the North set a precedent, which has destroyed the once-noble art of the snowball fight. What we have today, or what has evolved over the last few years, is pure anarchy, with every man a potential victim, be he carrying books, women, or children. No terri- tory is sacred ... no goal worthily re- garded ... no manner of dress re- spected. Man’s only defense is size-- not only a defense, but a weapon. Tell me, friend, whatever happened to the chivalric ideal when a man fought like a soldier, not a cold-blooded mer- -cenary? It’s gone ... long, long fading away.

It’s somehow remarkable, in fact, that Delta Nu continues to stage its yearly musi- cal extravaganza so long after the rest of the world has virtually forgotten its nostalgia for the fifties. But the momentum of TV’s “Happy Days” and, perhaps, nostalgia for the days of nostalgia brought what is becoming a tradition at Lips- comb back once more, this time replete with participants from Delta Sigma’s female ranks. And despite complaints that one week after Singarama was too soon for another musical revue, the Lipscomb audience took it all in stride and returned lavish appreciation. 32 Freshmen Joyce Watts ¢ Amherst, Oh.

Body and mind both unemployed, our being becomes a burden, and every object about us loathsome, even the dearest. Idleness begets ennui, ennui the hypochondria, and that a diseased body. _.. Ifatany moment, my dear, you catch yourself in idleness, start from it as you would the precipice of a gulph.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to his daughter ‘In our activity alone do we find the illusion of an independent existence, as against the whole scheme of things, of which we form a helpless part.” — Joseph Conrad, Nostromo “In general, American social life constitutes an evasion of talking to people. Most Americans don’t, in any vital sense, get together; they only do things together.” — Louis Kronenberger, Company Manners “What men call social virtues, good fellowship, is Commonly but the virtue of pigs ina litter, which will lie close together to keep each other warm.” — Henry David Thoreau “Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.” — Henry Adams, The Education of Henry Adams ‘ 32 rer A e a Rew wv. Seman at. ee ATION The real and present danger to development of individual character lies in the possibility that one may be subsumed in the mass, swept along by its overwhelming currents. Against this possibility one must set activity. And the first movement against assimilation is an ironic one: Association. One is known by his friendships, friendships that rob him of a measure of individuality. And an attendant irony is this: The search for others, which one initiates to ease his alienation in a new place is rarely successful because of its very intensity. The friends one finds he does not know. Slower is the growth of friendships of silence, of friendships of disagreement, the kind of friendships that will last until old friends sit side by side on park benches, the kind of friendships Shakespeare celebrated: “The friends thou hast and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.’ mere 34 Social Clubs Rush fair: the yearly search for a lasting first impression The Saturday begins with installation of exhibits, some intricate, some slapdash, along themes ranging from trite to patently ridiculous. The idea is to impress prospectives, who are for the most part too intent on impressing clubs to notice. But it’s a good show, even for those who have no interest in pledging. And there’s plenty of free punch and cookies. After it’s all over, there’s little to show for the festivities except a pile of trash, a tray of crumbs, and a list of names.

For instance, there’s a measure of exploration in the journey from the campus to the field, and a measure of adventure and rivalry in the competition that takes place once the crowds arrive. But did Ulysses ever run sack races, battle witha crate over his head, make a human pyramid, or take part in any of the other activities that form part of this Olympiad of the Social Clubs?

Gathered up in an overwhelming herd instinct, normal human beings parade as vampires, octopi, honeybees, light bulbs, and various other manifestations of the weird. All are part of a day- long paean to the opening of basketball season. Chapel in McQuiddy Gymnasium was tense with expectation as club members strained to contain their energy. But at its con- clusion, the festivities burst forth with the grand parade and the traditional bedecking of Vice-President Collins in appropriate costume — a custom expanded this year to include Putnam Reeves and Coach Don Meyer.

Personal appearance of Bison Man, skits from Tau Phi’s barbers, and alittle. bit of music from some Arab-fied Delta Nu members paced the day’s festivities. But its highlight was Dr. Perry Cotham’s death-defying leap over the Bison — or someone's idea of a bison — covered live on radio and closed-circuit television by a nascent WBSN. The day’s excitement all but overshadowed what was supposed to be the main event — the evening’s bas- ketball opener.

Sigma lota Delta, Kappa Chi, Sigma Chi Delta,Lambda Psi, and Kappa Phi produced the winning home- coming exhibit “Stuff ’em Bisons”, featuring a gigantic Bison stuffing a bulldog through a basketball goal. Capturing second in the social club competition was the group com- 54 Social Clubs prised of Tau Phi, Psi Alpha, Gamma Lambda, and Omega Chi with the theme of “Pound the Bulldogs”. “Making Tracks Through Union Station”, featuring a purple Bison train running through a railroad station, was the theme of the ex- hibit by Alpha Tau, Omega Nu, Pi Delta, and Delta Sigma.

For a bicentennial theme the social clubs chose “Great Decades of American Music. Delta Nu, Psi Alpha, Sigma Phi, Kappa Phi, and Omega Nu brought back the days of Main Street happiness in the 1890's. Sigma Chi Delta, Gamma Lambda, Ome- ga Chi, Phi Omega, and Zeta Nu resurrected memories of Jay Gatsby and the Roaring Twenties.

But neither the audience nor the performers were fully prepared for emcee Nathan Reece’s announcement of the judges’ decision: The 1960’s group won not only the overall prize, but each of the four judging categories — theme, musical production, stage presenta- tion, and audience appeal.

The council, made up of the presidents of each of the campus’s 18 social clubs, is charged with the responsibilities of overseeing every facet of social club life and of acting as a liaison to the dean of students, who bears ultimate responsibility for club activities. In 1976-76, the council coordinated social club involve- ment in the campus’s three biggest functions, Bison Day, Homecoming, and Singarama, as well as organizing for a second consecutive year October Odyssey, initiated in 1974 by former student body officers Steve Staggs and Marna Branstetter. The council handled scheduling and chose groups of clubs to work together on major projects and monitored spending for them. Just as important, the council watched over normal quar- terly operations of the clubs, such as rush fair, pledg- ing, and initiations, both to coordinate pledging periods and to insure adherence to pledging rules. As always, the council re-evaluated and updated such rules, along with other regulations pertaining to social clubs. How- ever, no major changes were recommended. The council ended the spring quarter schedule for social clubs with a farewell ice cream party during finals week. Social Clubs 67 68 Social Clubs 1. Jim Alverson — Vice-Pres. 2. Mac Moore 3.

He or she enjoys the same euphoric moments of bliss and suffers through the same abysmal times of gloom. Yet his life is not dominated by the either extreme, but by the grim spectre of tedium, a phenomenon commonly known as sophomore slump. Consider the sophomore’s position. He is no longer a fresh faced, ruddy cheeked freshman, inebriated with the wonders of the collegiate cosmos. He has become a vaguely familiar sight on campus.

He is, in short, enmeshed ina limbo. It is only natural that he pause to ques- tion the purpose of his existence. He is undeniably entangled by collegiate life, yet graduation, that Golden Fleece, is far beyond his limited vision. He is far advanced beyond his high school days, but his behavior is still, well, sophomoric. When does realization of his true posi- tion strike the sophomore? Perhaps he is faced with a massive and undeniably useless library assignment that will clog up his weekend. Perhaps he is sitting in a dormitory room, listlessly watching dust settle on his stereo as late Friday night becomes early Saturday morning. Or perhaps he is sitting in a classroom. Some rude man is standing in front of him talking about the visigoths. He doesn’t care about the visigoths. A fly is strolling about on the back of the girl sitting in front of him and outside, through windows carefully covered with Venetian blinds, he can see an elderly campus policeman feeding his squirrels. The sophomore swoons, knowing that he is entrapped by soph- omore slump. He has just attained the quintessence of mediocrity. John Barbee ¢ Mount Vernon, Il. Eva Barden e Plant City, Fl.

You've put on old clothes, you’ve steeled your nerves. When it finally comes, though, you’re not fully prepared. You know it’s useless to resist, but when your roommate un- locks the door and better than a dozen men flood into the room, natural reactions get the best of you. You struggle. They win. They ca rry you to the elevator for the long, strained ride down. They take you to a car, pile in, and head for the pits. When you get there, you try to pull a cou- ple of them in with you, but they only get their shoes muddy. You are soaked with the slimy muck. They open the trunk for you, and you ac- cept what you know is your fate. You climb in. You feel all the bumps and loneliness of the trunk on the return trip, and finally you hear the horns blowing. The car stops, they let you out, you feel the eyes of the gallery upon you as you run back across campus. You get back to the dorm and shower, leaving what’s left of your clothes in a heap in the corner. And you foster thoughts of revenge. Laurie Calos ¢ Danville, Va. Kathy Campbell ¢ Wexford, Pa.

Well, Bob, we’re about ready to start here at Alumni Auditorium. For the benefit of those in our listening audience who've just tuned in, we’re covering the David Lipscomb College Unruly Audience Spectacular in aregular Saturday night confrontation. Later to- night the projection squad, who will be the object of much of the abuse throughout this fun-filled evening, will pick the winners. Who’s favored to win tonight? Well, Fred, | think the social clubs have the edge, for sheer numbers. But the kids down front have a natural advantage in being juvenile already. | understand the odds-makers are counting on the balcony couples wanting to show off tonight. Well, Fred, this isa romantic movie, so unless things really get out of control, | doubt we'll have as much couples participation as, say, during a John Wayne flick. Well, the lights are going down, and ... there’s the film! This audience is a little slow to react. There’s not much going on yet, but there are a few yells of “Focus!’’ They sound like they’re from the center section, probably social clubs. Now there’s a little film flutter, and a few folks are throwing paper into the air. One guy in the balcony is holding his hand up in the way of the film. The projectionists may look closely at this reaction when final scoring time comes. What do you think, Bob? Probably so, Fred. Now it appears the film is moving along smoothly. The kids down front seem to be taking the lead, cutting up and running up and down the aisles. Wait! There’s a dancing scene, and the social club section is snickering!

We discerned a somewhat regular pattern: The students would come through the doors, pause, glance about, and head toward the mailboxes. At first we thought perhaps they were avoiding someone; but surely every student wouldn’t have someone to avoid. Then we concluded they must be lost; but again, very few students would be that unfamiliar with such a prominent structure on campus. So we began to keep statistics, having given up on investi- gating dating patterns. Our figures revealed a startling fact: The number of persons checking mail each day was more than double the number of students enrolled. Couple this with the facts that some students have no campus mailbox and that others never check the box they are assigned, and the figures seem to say many members of the student body are checking their boxes as many as five times a day. This we found exceptionally curious. Were the students so anxious to get letters from home? So we thought at first: Attachment to home is very strong here. Subse- quent research, however, indicated regular mail delivery came twice daily, a fact that seems well known among students. We felt it unrealistic to assume the anxiety to be so strong as to cause them to check five times when they could only reasonably expect mail two. Then a happy coincidence performed a good bit of our research for us: We noted an abnormal amount of check- ing at 9:30 and 10:30 each day. Happening by at those times the next day, we were treated toa singular experi- ence. What seemed to be a full half of the student body descended on the Bison Room, and almost every mem- ber at one time or another, checked his mailbox. After looking more closely, we noticed several interesting side- 76 Sophomores Philip Edwards ¢ Harrisburg, Il. Sue Hardaway @ Nashville, Tn. Wayne Harless ¢ Bim, W.V. Chip Harper © Stanford, Ct.

Several specialty groups, such as Bible majors, drama aficionados, art majors, and certain groups of rebel intellectuals collected at different tables near the snack bar. The social clubs, meanwhile, revolved around the center of the room, where the most popular groups congregate, and the distance of other groups from the center is apparently determined by the group’s self- conceived social acceptability. Those without a group merely clog the passageways to the mailboxes. Thus we determined that checking mail is a social ritual, a cover for coming into the Bison Room to find one’s social group. Were the post office not located in the Bison Room, students would no doubt check the price list at the snack bar or browse among the ice cream sand- wiches. As it is, they check their mail.

It rang and rang and rang and ... until the form sprawled on the bed a few feet away moved, semiconsciously at first, then with more delibera- tion. Freeing himself from the entanglement of his covers, he staggered out and attacked the alarm, nearly driving the tab through the face of the clock. He stood momentarily, helpless, caught adrift in that feel- ing which knows neither action or inaction, merely the being. But the bed looked enticing, if only for afew more moments ... and he succombed to the temptation. An hour later he awoke once again, searching through half-opened eyes for the alarm clock which finally came into view. His eyes opened slightly wider, then wider still, as the amorphous hands of the clock were brought into sharper focus: 8:30. In the split second it took to convice himself that the clock’s face was no cruel joke, he threw back his covers, leaping to his feet with the determination and frenzied excitement which can only come with the realization that the last free skip of the quarter has been used.

When the mythopoetic magic of Spring first stirs one’s blood and a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of baseball, there exists perhaps no greater pleasure than to sit under God’s great canopy, letting the gentle wind move through your hair, and muse upon the profundity of the cosmos. In lieu of sitting in a meadow or dangling his feet ina babbling brook, the Lipscomb student often opts for the great wall that effectively bisects the campus. Here, he may pitch woo at his lady fair or exchange tales of dubious merit with his Epicurean comrades. Whilst considering the philosophical propositions of his con- ferees, he may be entertained by strolling troubadours armed with sizzling banjo or guitar, or perhaps a trust- ing squirrel will venture forth to dine on his fingernail. As he meets his fellow inhabitants of the wall and re- laxes under the brilliant sun, the spirit of frivolity van- quishes the cold spectre of scholastic endeavor. Test scores and lecture notes and research papers vanish before the alluring prospect of unmitigated leisure, and the human spirit of conversation replaces the im- passive austerity of unbending education. Sophomores 87 HOMECOMING 88 Homecoming Homecoming 89 This is the scene before, after, and during — the events at- tendant to the spectacle itself. The Bisons lost to Union Uni- versity, but the stately procession of Queen Linda Gray’s court, the precise beauty of the gymnasts’ halftime show, and the comeraderie of old friends reunited made the loss all but insignificant. And the presentation of most of the homecoming honorees of past years served to prove that beauty is timeless. 90 Homecoming Homecoming 91 The royal line is again complete: Form- er nobility and respectful throng par- ticipate in the ritual crowning of another queen in another year. Dean Craig introduces the court; the court awaits its queen; lovely Linda Gray receives the focus of the audi- ence’s attention. The moment is com- plete with the coronation of the queen, gifts, and a traditional kiss. Representatives in the 1976 Homecoming Court are: Kathy Hanvey and David Waddell, Sophomore class; Ann Neal and Mike Corley, Junior class; Jane Dennison and Bill Stowe, August Graduating class; Sharon Oatts, Jimmy Netterville, Pam Whitesell, Chip Osborne, Lisa Hanvey, and Greg Holmes, Student-Body-at-Large; Cyndi Tomlinson and Roger Loyd, December Graduating class; Marlene Schwall and Jim Lawrence, Student-Body-at-Large; Sherry Turbyfill and Alan Shoaf, Freshman class; Susie Pullias and Brad Arnold, June Graduating class. 92 Homecoming SEE Homecoming 93 Bicentennial pageantry showcases favorites A reorganized Festival of Hearts capped off 1976’s Bi- centennial homecoming with charm. Under the direction of Mrs. Marilyne Burgess, the traditional Valentine celebration took on an air of gentle dignity and grace. Steve Flatt and Kay Arlen provided smooth continuity as host and hostess to activities as far ranging as music by the Saxons and traditional questioning by Dean Mack Wayne Craig. Technicals by Chuck Parker and his drama assistants and program assistance by Jimmy Thomas, Sarah Gamble, and Marion Cawood gave the evening polish and flourish. 94 Festival of Hearts Festival of Hearts 95 Festival of Hearts Finalists % oi Denise Foster Karen DeHart Jenny Lynn Newman 96 Festival of Hearts — mF Phyllis King Karen Smith Joy Moore Fe stival of Hearts 97 CAMPUS BEAUTIES Labeler) 98 Homecoming xl DERBIb BRACEY Homecoming 99 ZH = = = 7, aa 100 Homecoming Homecoming 101 SHERRIE M€ PARLIN | L) “ 102 Homecoming BETH HALT REMAIN Homecoming 103 4 E 4 z eK, Aa} Pe satin, 0° S8 ay “We are guests of existence, travellers between two stations. We must discover security within ourselves.” — Boris Pasternak “We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.” — Goethe “A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.” — Yiddish proverb “Never give in! Never give in! Never, never never — in nothing great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.” — Winston Churchill “There is, indeed, nothing more annoying than to be, for instance, wealthy, of good family, nice-looking, fairly intelligent, and even good-natured, and yet to have not talents, no special faculty, no peculiarity even, not one idea of one’s own, to be precisely ‘like other people.’ To havea fortune, but not the wealth of a Rothschild; to be of an honorable family, but one which has never distinguished itself in any way; to have a pleasing appearance expressive of nothing in particular; to have a decent education, but to have no idea what use to make of it; to have intelligence, but no ideas of one’s own; to have a good heart, but without any greatness of soul; and so on and so on.” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky PARTICI To be defined merely by one’s friendships isto haveaborrowed identity, a second-hand existence. To define oneself more fully requires experimentation, requires that each person examine his interest and seek new interests. What one does and how well he does it determines part of who he is and how he will be received. So searching for one’s peculiar talents, finding that area of solid identification, reaching for the mark one sets before himself, all form a strong part of what one will become. And in knowing who he is one finds security.

All the world’s a stage, not for acting a given part, but for acting a self-written part — striving for recognition of what one wants to become and of what one is.

The presentation, which traced music development during the jazz era, was an extension of one of the purposes of the fraternity — the promotion of American music. Members of the frater- nity, sponsored by Dr. Gerald Moore, also assisted in various projects of the music department. Ushering at performances of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, re- citals at Park Manor Home for the Aged, and singing programs at Central State Hospital contributed to the avowed purpose of Sigma Al- pha lota, to make music a universal language. The international women’s music fraternity made [ S mM d Christmas stockings for teachers and participated with Phi Mu Alpha in A p h a “Jazz Razzmatazz,” an evening of jazz music, at the end of winter | t quarter.

Its repertoire of sacred music ranged from classical to spirituals and modern arrangements of hymns. Besides taking its program throughout Tennes- see, A Cappella sang through a seven-day tour that included stays in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Columbus and Canton, Ohio. It capped off the trip with its annual presentation of the tour program at Granny White church of Christ. In addition, the group performed at the Lipscomb Choral Festival and the Evening of Music in the fall. Music 139 140 Performance Practicing at 7 a.m. prepared Steve Deasy and the forty-piece band for concerts and tours throughout the year.

Lipscomb’s basketball pro- gram, faltering for more than a dec- ade, was given fresh direction by a new coaching staff — headed by Dr. Don Meyer, who was assisted by Rusty McCain, by passing his last year of eligibility as a player to accept the new assignment. Coach Meyer, who continually warned Bison fans not to expect overnight success, believes he saw great improvement in his squad over the season. The coach stressed the importance of team effort and strong defense to his young team, and he believes muchwas accomplished toward achieving these goals. Sports 143 The season was full of both high points and low points. An opening day victory led to high hopes for the team, but five losses in the next six games dashed any hopes of a pheno- menal season. The team held a 5-10 mark at mid-season, but closed out the season with two wins in the last three games to reach the 11-19 mark. The Bisons split two-game series with rivals Harding, Freed- Hardeman, and Belmont. Narrow margins of victory or defeat characterized most of the Bisons’ games. Only a few were de- cided before the closing minutes of action, as Lipscomb’s op- ponents outscored the team by a seasonal average of only two points per game. Steve Flatt, Steve Davidson, and Donnie Rucker led the Bisons. With Davidson and Rucker the only seniors, Meyer can con- tinue to rebuild the program with a mixture of his nine veterans and others he has actively recruited for next year. 144 Sports Sports 145 Members of the 1975-76 basketball team were (FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Manager Aaron Trenary, Doug Dodge, Donnie Rucker, Barry Harrison, Jimmy Thomas, Steve Flatt, Steve David- son, Fletcher Williams, (SECOND ROW) Coach Don Meyer, Assistant Coach Rusty McCain, Eddie Clausel, Billy Bennett, Sam Fields, Marcus Benford, Ralph Turner, Donnie Watt, Jimmy Naylor, and Trainer Doc Adams. 146 Sports eso NR ans Sports 147 148 Sports 1.

Bison gymnasts placed sixth in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship for the second straight season. Juniors Bobby Seale and Jimmy Gibby placed fourth and sixth, respectively, in floor exercise in the national finals. In regular season competition, Lipscomb dropped from two previous years of spotless records to a 5-2 record in dual meets. Numerous injuries hampered Coach Tom Hanvey’s squad in the first two meets. But the team came back strong to defeat its next five opponents. An all- veteran team is expected for next year, since graduating senior Walter McDade will be the only performer not re- turning for another season.

Coached by Joey Haines, Bison cindermen placed 25th ina larger field at the outdoor championships.

Bison performers also gained individual recognition in the tourney by taking a number of consolation round championships. Coached by Dr. Duane Slaughter, the squad hosted the Lipscomb Invitational, City Invitational, and the State Open tournaments during the season, again capturing several consolation championships. The team also competed in occasional dual meets, but competition throughout the season was primarily on an individual basis. 156 Sports Members of the 1975-76 badminton team in- cluded (FROM LEFT) David Brantley, Mike Thomas, Vanessa Thompson, Pat Dowdey, Mike Corley, Loretta Foringer, Carl Turner, Terry Ash- burn, Yvonne Elliott, Keith Fox, and Carol Oates. Sports 157 Junior Will Brewer's national golfing championship win in 1976 not only paced the year’s golfing efforts and marked a high point in Lipscomb golf's history, but insured a strong reputation for next year’s team. Brewer won the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath- letics championship with a one-stroke victory in June, entitling him to All-American status for the second consecutive season, following a 10th place finish with All-American accolades the year before. Bryan Kendrick, asophomore, captured the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament, finishing one stroke ahead of Brewer. In team competition, the Bisons finished third in the state championship and second in district qualifying tournaments. With all team members scheduled to return next year, Coach Ralph Samples looks forward to the added experience making the differ- ence to improve the 1976 season’s 11-4 dual meet record. 158 Sports Members of the 1976 golf team were (LEFT TO RIGHT) Coach Ralph Samples, Will Brewer, Mike Bagley, Darrell Shelton, Jim Livingston, Steve Hoskins, Mark Rogers, and Bryan Kendrick.

In past years, the women have competed on an intramural basis, although they have played other schools. Under first-year coach Mrs. Phyllis Saunders, the team compiled an 11-3 record, almost equal to its 12-2 showing in intra- mural competition the previous year. Mrs. Saunders hopes for another strong team next year, since top- seeded Frankie Mayo was the only senior on the 1976 squad.

Missing from the 1976 squad were key performers from 1975's 45-8 squad, ranked number one among NAIA schools when it was eliminated in the area tournament in postseason play. But Coach Ken Dugan used a mixture of veterans and rookies to fashion another impressive record in the most recent season. The Bisons finished 42-11, again were ranked number one in the NAIA for much of the season, and again lost the area tournament. Although plagued by injuries all season, the Bisons opened the year looking like championship-caliber teams of the past. The team compiled a 34-5 record before slumping with four defeats in five games near the end of the regular season. Bison fans, spoiled by frequent victories, were shocked by the team’s losing string, but the Bisons snapped out of the slump in time to breeze through the district tournaments. The largely young and inexperienced squad was unable to survive the stiff compeition of the area tourney, however, and the team’s hopes of a national championship were dashed again. With Sam Hamstra, Daryl McMurtry, Glen Broadway, and Steve Burton the only graduating seniors, Dugan and Bison fans hoped for another successful season in 1977 — and maybe the national championship, finally.

The club exists to promote home economics and to provide its members with out-of- the-classroom experiences relating to their major. Dur- ing 1975-76 Delta Theta Pi once again sponsored a Christmas sale featuring ar- ticles made by its members. It also organized a program to familiarize students with the metric system by such devices as measure- ments of the metric dis- tances between points on campus. Delta Theta Pi ted 1.

The monthly meetings of the club, spon- sored by Dr. Fletcher Srygley, included film presentations and talks by Lipscomb students and faculty. Work was begun on a demonstra- tion film on Opryland’s Wabash Cannonball. Lipscomb’s chapter of the American In- stitute of Biological Sciences periodically offered speakers noted for work in the field of biological sciences. Presentation of papers by undergraduates encouraged student scholarship, and monthly de- velopments of interest to club members received coverage in The BioBlitz, the club’s bulletin. But the organization’s pri- mary accomplishment for 1976 was its sponsorship of the annual meeting of the Academy of Sciences, College Division. American ‘Institute of Biological Sciences FROM LEFT, members of the Physics Club are Bill Brosey, Vince Huegele, Dr. Fletcher Srygley, David Elrod (President), Dr. Martin Smithers, Brent Bates, and Dr. Ralph Butler. se The David Lipscomb chapter of the American Chemical Society pursued the goal of better student awareness of chemical problems and accomplishments, and used seminars and film presentations to achieve this goal. The highlight of the fall quarter was a lecture by Dr. Robert Neal of Vanderbilt University’s Biochemistry Department on cancer and its causes. Dr. Wayne Tincher of Georgia Tech pre- sented a seminar on the flamability of textiles. In the spring the controversial vitamin B-17 and its possible function in the prevention and remission of can- cer were discussed. The club also formulated new by-laws and participated in faculty planning sessions. 1. David Pence 12. Cindy Vines 2. Ken Graham 13. George McMillan 3. Deborah Underwood 14. Tom Montgomery 4.

The show, composed of ten entries, contained music ranging from pop and rock to religious and many comical moments.

Dr. Charles Nelson, former Music Department chairman, presented the program, accom- panied by Mrs. Frances Hall Hill, present chair- man, on the piano. Nelson illustrated his humorous monologue with selections from twelve operas from Mo- zart to Rossini. He pointed out that the basso is almost invariably mistreated: He is cast as a devil or a monster, or occasionally as a lover who eventually loses the soprano to the tenor. Nevertheless, this basso played to a crowded and enthusiastic house, which may have com- pensated at least partially for past injustices. 194 Juniors Vinson Burkett Huegele ® Mobile, Al.

The popular Insiders, made up of DLC graduates (TOP LEFT, Ford Holman, Rick Poole, Stan Gunsel- man, and Winston Harless), returned to the campus for a farewell performance that filled Alumni Auditorium past overflowing, Thursday, Oct. 23. Another all-Lipscomb group, Face to Face (BOTTOM RIGHT, Larry Beaird, Andy Wood, Dennis Massa, Gary Landerfelt, and Kerry Trammel) filled a Friday night bill Oct. 24 with a variety of music from bluegrass to ’50’s rock. Juniors 195 Sometimes it’s the waiting for Godot, that long moment which hangs in tension between boredom and anticipation. The feeling starts at the press of the small black button and ends, or is at least abated, at the ‘““sesame’’-like opening of the metal doors. What is the situation? It’s the penultimate existential experience — waiting for the elevator. The feeling begins as you rush from chapel, trying to make it to the dorm and up to your sixth-floor room in time to catch that brief but delightful twenty minute nap before your next class. After being stopped by various people, you finally make it to the dorm a bit frazzled — that doesn’t matter, though, the nap will be even better. Tragedy — the first wave has already assaulted: the elevator planning to make stops on all of the upper six floors. With the feeling of mild frustration, maybe even hopelessness, you press the button anyway — who knows, quirks of fate do exist. But now begins the wait, the prolonged feeling relieved only by a nervous shuffling among the several others who have join- ed you in the wait. You gaze— you look at a sitting girl, she looks at you, you look back down. The others around you talk, but true conversation is impossible when impatience and hurry grab at you like little demons. What is left to do but very, very inconspicuously push the black dot again? Someone chuckles, you become self-conscious and melt back into the mass. Complacency, yes, resignation finally takes over — you despair and turn toward the stairs. But then, then comes the distinctive ring, sounding louder than a victory bell. Hope at last! Then the time — five minutes until class! So what? You turn toward the herd, find yourself being pushed into the elevator, and prepare for the ultimate existential experience — the ride up. 196 Juniors Rosemary Johnson @ Columbia, Tn.

It has a kind of magic and a mystery that it has nowhere else. And the reason for this is that it comes to people in the South not as the grim, unyielding tenant of the Winter’s keep, but as a strange and wild visitor from the secret North. It comes to them from darkness, to their own special and most secret soul there in the South. It brings to them the thrilling isolation of its own white mystery. It brings them something that they lack, and that they have to have; something that they have lost, but now have found; something that they have known utterly, but had forgotten until now.” — Thomas Wolfe “The Child by Tiger” e wos - nae se swans att x all i Le 3 — Se eee Nancy Elizabeth Marshall © Huntsville, Al.

Indeed, from one end of the country to the other, the great college grad chase is the outstanding feature of college life today. The liberal arts have suffered in this competition with functional studies . . . Nothing is more basic to a functioning society than the full-bodied life of the arts.” — Norman Cousins “To educate a man’s mind without educating a man’s morals is to educate a menace to society.” — Theodore Roosevelt “Truth rests with God alone, and alittle with me.” — Yiddish proverb “Nevertheless, it does move.” — Galileo Galilei DIFICATION- Identity is not defined completely by one’s associates and one’s proclivities. What one stands for, what he believes, is every bit as vital to personality as who he knows and what he does. This search for personal philosophy, with its attendant search for knowledge and implied search for truth, forms not just an integral part of one’s college career, but its central aspect. And the quest for mere knowledge, not founded upon and grounded in the presuppositions of Christian faith is among the emptiest of human endeavors. What must be sought isa proper balance between all forms of knowledge, to fulfill the complete man. This is Lipscomb’s quest: “Ye shall know the truth, and t he truth shall make you free” — free not only from the bonds of ignorance, but from the chains of oppression and the shackles of prejudice. For the most important of all freedoms is freedom of the mind — to stand, as Galileo stood, before the forces of ignorance, and to say with him, after he recanted the earth’s movement about the sun, “Nevertheless, it does move.” 202 Christian Life 1.

Tom Williams One of the most active organizations on campus, the Good News Club spon- sored mission campaigns, devotionals, retreats, anewspaper,a singing group, and the long-term Project Good News during 1975-76. Project Good News, under the supervision of Ashwood Church of Christ, prepared and sent five club members for extended mis- sion activity in Switzerland, New Zea- land, and Scotland, beginning in the summer of 1976. Its members also planned shorter mission trips to Scot- land and New Zealand with Dr. Fred Walker and Joe Gray. The club organized weekend and vaca- tion campaigns in surrounding cities, as well as providing workers for Van- derbilt’s Christian Student Center and Nashville’s Youth Hobby Shop. The Good News Singers performed several programs during the year, and publi- cation of the Good News Banner kept the campus informed of mission de- velopments. In the spring, the club participated in Dean Carl McKelvey’s ‘umbrella pro- ject,” the uniting of all the campus’s religious service organizations under a central hierarchy. Called “The Good News Christian Organization,” the super-club is to be subdivided into ten chapters, basically representing the present religious club and organiza- tions. They include Project Good News Banner, Beta Sigma, Project Italy, Dorm Bible Studies, Dactylology Club, Service through Song (Hospital Singers and Good News Singers), Christian Nurture Services (Happy Hills Boys Ranch and Tennessee Orphan Home), and Chi Alpha Rho, a currently inactive preachers’ organization. The system replaces the old Christian Services Council, which was set up to coordinate the campus religious clubs, but which had fallen into disrepair in recent years. Christian Life 203 204 Christian Life Crowded buses left campus each Saturday filled with persons involved in more loosely organized programs for Christian service. Stu- dents visiting Tennessee Orphan Home in Spring Hill, Tennessee, boosted the morale of countless homeless children. Several students spent afternoons and weekends tutoring boys at Happy Hills Boys Ranch in Ashland City. Anda third group took song and friendly conversation as tools of ministry to patients at Central State Hospital. ae bce pe Ee Organized in the Spring quarter, Beta Sigma is a new Biblical studies group composed of both Bible and non-Bible majors. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Bat- sell Baxter and Dr. Harvey Floyd, the aim of the club is to prepare people to communicate the gos- pel through a study of the Bible and other related topics. In 1976, the club sponsored special seminars led by several members of the Bible faculty, includ- ing Dr. Floyd and Clyde Miller, on such subjects as Biblical prophecy, bodily resurrection, and Old Testament sacrifice. 1.

Playing with children at Clover Bottom Home for the Men- tally Retarded earned Lipscomb’s junior affiliates of the In- ternational Kiwanis Club the district award for the best sin- gle service project. Circle K-ers and K-ettes were also in- volved with activities at Tennessee Preparatory School, stag- ing picnics and playing a variety of sports with the TPS chil- dren. Club members aided the predominantly underprivileged stu- dent population of Warner School in a bicentennial proj- ect to construct a replica of alog cabin. Weekly visits were also made to Buva, a home for underprivileged black chil- dren without homes of their own. But Circle K and K-ettes provided service for all ages, not just children. Senior citizens at Lakeshore Home for the Aged received visits from club members every week. And the clubs did occasionally separate for special activities. Christian Life 207 Circle K members made weekly visits to see inmates at the Tennessee State Prison, and K-ettes laid groundwork for a similar project next year involving the State Prison for Women. K-ettes also made weekly visits to Blair House, a halfway house for girls. Circle K Club President Sid Verble was named President of the Year for the Tennessee- Kentucky District, and Club Secretary Kevin Rachel was named Secretary of the Year. Lipscomb’s clubs placed second in overall club achievement, finishing behind the University of Tennessee. Lipscomb student Gene Chunn won the 1975- 76 district governorship, and Lipscomb stu- dents will continue to play a large role in leading the district. Jimmy Burnette, first elected district treasurer, volunteered to at- tempt to fill the leadership void by succeed- ing Chunn as governor for 1976-77. 1. Peggy Worsham — Fresh. Board Member 15.

Often work- ing in close conjunction with their female counterparts, the Civinettes, Lipscomb Civitans were able to help those in need of assistance at Lipscomb, in Nashville, and in other parts of Mid- dle Tennessee. As in years past, Civitan’s primary campus service was ensuring all Lip- scomb students and personnel blood coverage by the American Red Cross. Civitans also adopted a new school project — collecting old newspapers for recycling. This captured the district award for best campus project. Other projects included helping to renovate the new campus student ac- tivities center, the Cockrill House; delivering meals to senior citizens throughout the Nashville area; collect- ing for various charitable organiza- tions; and tutoring children at Tennes- see Orphan Home. Club President Jonathan Seamon also served as Valley District governor and international vice-president. He was named Outstanding Collegiate Gover- nor of the Year in international com- petition and was elected International President. And club vice-president Geoffrey Sikes was named Interna- tional Collegiate Civitan of the Year. Christian Life 213 Named the best club in the entirety of Colle- giate Civitan, the Lipscomb Civinette Club com- pleted another year filled with activity, both spearheading their own service projects and aiding Civitans with others. Civinette projects reached those of all ages, from young orphans to Nashville’s senior citi- zens. Civinettes continued their weekly tutor- ing sessions for children at Tennessee Or- phan Home. The club also started a new pro- ject, helping students at Tennessee Prepara- tory School. Club members gave parties and made frequent visits to Knowles and Lakeshore homes for the aged. Other projects included work at Clover Bottom Home for the Mentally Retarded and, with Civitans, collections for charities and such campus efforts as the blood drive, Cockrill House renovation and newspaper recycling program. Club President Karen DeHart was named Inter- national Collegiate Civinette of the Year. Hon- ored as the 1975-76 Miss Collegiate Civitan Inter- national, she was also elected governor of the Valley District for 1976-77. Civinette Sharon Ma- son was named Miss Valley District for 1976-77, making her eligible for international competi- tion. 214 Christian Life : a s ‘4 - gaye oa?s nis = eer et 1. Debbie Muller 2.

Note: This material is drawn from remarks made at December commencement exercises. In those remarks, Dr. Pullias defined the pur- pose and place of Lipscomb in the academic world.) The purpose of a college or any school or university is to take the raw material of youth and, through a process of instruction and example and working together, help each one to grow — hopefully as Jesus grew: In wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. And when a certain measure of growth has taken place, you have not attained; you are only beginning. Certainly we never attain. We always press on to learn more, to know more, to do more, to be more as God has given us ability and op- portunity. The real purposes of a college or a school are to teach three things: to learn how to learn, to learn how to think, to learn how to solve problems. If you know how to ob- tain the information that you need, whether it isan academic problem, a spiritual problem, a social pro- blem, or an economic problem, then you have learned how to learn. If you can take that information and deal with it, you have learned how to think. And if you can do these two things, you have learned how to solve problems, whatever they may be. And that is what education is all about. Here at Lipscomb we deeply ap- preciate the cause of public educa- Athens Clay Pullias President 218 Administration tion. We have no unkind word ever for any public institution at any level, elementary, secondary, col- lege, or university. | am thankful that we live ina country that offers free public education to every young person in America. There is no conflict between public and private education. The vision which | have is for public education and private education to work to- gether for the benefit of the young people of this country and of the world. But the private college or univer- sity must have, the private school at any level must have, some ex- ceptional, peculiar and distinctive work or service that gives it a _ reason for being. I believe that Lipscomb has such a distinctive purpose, and it in no way collides with the goals or purposes or dreams of public education. Instead, it is intended to supplement and enrich the educational opportuni- ties open to young people in this country. And it is in this spirit that we must work together, public educa- tion and private education, the homes of the country and the taxpayers of the country and the donors of the country, for the benefit of young people, that they may have the maximum opportunity to grow into what they have the ability to become and the will to become. creche cinceiihaiiet a Neeiarie tes acres _— ae apenas e President and Mrs. Pullias Mrs. Pullias presents the Frances Pullias Awards each Commence- ment to graduates who achieve high distinction in scholarship, character, and cultural and per sonal qualities.

While other institutions are tightening their girths and reinterpreting their function, Lipscomb is holding fast to its purpose of providing quality liberal arts training with a firm basis in scripture. The number of students en- rolled has increased for ten consecutive quarters. Collins attributes success in enrollment to the recruitment staff, headed by Admis- sions Director Dr. George Walden. “I would give a tremendous amount of credit to Dr. Walden,” Collins said. “He has most de- Willard Collins Vice-President 222 Administration Collins finitely been the leader in our recruitment effort.”’ According to Collins, Lipscomb enrollment is reaching what he calls a “plateau level.’” Since the birth rate began declining in 1957 and since a smaller percentage of high school seniors are going to college, the pool of prospective students from which colleges draw is becoming smaller. And Lipscomb, Collins says, will “do well” to keep enroll- ment at present levels. To help insure capacity enrollment, Col- lins and the officers of the Alumni As- sociation launched what they named “The Greatest Gift Campaign.” The idea behind this title,” noted Collins, “is that the greatest gift anyone could give to a college is anew student.” Rufie McQueen Secretary to the Vice-President Cleo Whitfield Chapel Office Administration 223 224 Administration Mary Emily Gore Secretary Athalie Thurmon Secretary Dean Craig Changes leave essentials undisturbed Basic changes in Lipscomb’s core of liberal arts requirements distin- guished the 1975-76 academic sea- son as an interface between the new and the old. Some students continued studying under older re- quirements while others adapted their curricula to new specifications scheduled to take effect with the 1976-77 school year. Dean Mack Wayne Craig described the changes as an attempt to offer students greater flexibility within the liberal arts tradition. “We are re- taining the same liberal arts em- phasis in our approach to educa- tion. But the composition of a liberal arts program varies from time to time.” “Twelve years ago, we instituted what we called the general educa- tion requirements, while doing away with the minor, because there was simply not enough room ina student’s schedule for a large body of courses in a minor area. Now we are nearly, although not completely, back to the old system. Under the new system, a student picks courses to fill general area requirements rather than taking proscribed courses. Most programs also allow room for an area of minor specialization. Dean Craig emphasizes that the changes do not reflect a change in the nature of the school. ‘The pur- pose of liberal arts here is the same as anywhere, to prevent such specialization on the part of the stu- dent that he misses the forest for the trees. We seek to liberalize the men- tal processes, to open windows for the soul. This is especially im- portant in a technological society, because it emphasizes that there is more to life than science and technology.” The Dean added that the spiritual emphasis is primary at Lipscomb. “The study of the Bible must be at the heart of our program. And that, of course, is the greatest liberaliz- ing influence there can be, because you cannot study the Scriptures without coming to terms with litera- ture, music, philosophy, art, science, and all the rest. We continue the fundamental commitment to the idea that the Bible is the most im- portant part of liberal arts at Lips- comb.” Mack Wayne Craig Dean Administration 225 Edsel Holman Business Manager Lois S.

The most significant development in campus life this year, in McKelvey’s opinion, was the transformation of Cockrill House into a student activities center. The dean worked closely with President Pullias to develop plans for renovation, while social clubs and class officers helped in cleaning and re- furbishing the old house. McKelvey referred to the renovation an “an experiment, to see what we can do together.” In the dean’s mind, the Lipscomb social club system is the heart of campus extracurricular activity. Better than forty percent of the student body is involved in the system, which in- cludes 18 clubs, one of which was added this year. According to McKel- vey, anew club is formed about every four years, while another usually dies about the same time. ‘That says some- thing about social clubs,’” commented McKelvey. ‘I’m not sure what it says — but it says something.” = a eaamneiiialll Sara Keith Gamble Assistant Dean of Students Mary Proctor Secretary Administration 229 Ralph Bryant Registrar Allene Dillingham Secretary to Registrar George Walden Director of Admissions Jane Hardy Office Supervisor Kay Mack Admissions Ruth Culbertson Admissions 230 Administration ee emi, Ken Grubb Admissions Counselor ee PI a tee a ohn et : de Ag hee ts +e e Lorna Morrow Registrar’s Office Shirley Slatton Financial Aid Edith Whitehead Financial Aid Records dae $e David Mosley Admissions Counselor ¢ 4, 2 ee eee x Pena th 7 Sepa ‘Sonal ered negggh A ke bebe ery tirbeata thaeees . eben Karen Siska Jeri Gilbreath Kathy Knox Admissions Counselor Administration 231 LeoSnow — Freshman Counselor — Ralph Samples Director of Testing and Counseling Faye Harlin Secretary Eunice B.

Isn’t it distinctly to be seen in the development of each philosopher's theory that he knows beforehand what is the chief significance of life, just as positively as the peasant and nota bit more clearly than he, and is simply trying by a dubious intellectual path to come back to what everyone knows?” — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina APPRECIATION Companions, abilities, values — each contributes to the composition of the whole person, of the entire individual. For just as a man is not merely his soul, his body, his mind, or any other part of himself, so one’s growth is determined not merely by how well he keeps friends, by how well he uses abilities, or by how well he heeds values. When one has integrated each of the component parts of himself, he is recognized not for what he is, but for what he has been all along, and more importantly, he recognizes himself for what he has become. Because maturity brings with it clearer vision, clearer recognition of self and by self, of others and by others, of God and by God. “Now we see ina mirror, dimly, but then, face to face.” Now our vision is clouded, but then we will see as we should have seen all along, because the voyage is areturn one, just as in Melville’s definition: “Life isa voyage that’s homeward bound.” Lisa Hanvey found the perfect way to cap off 16 years of intensive involvement with the Lips- comb system. She began her Lipscomb career as a kindergarten student and stayed — for six years of elementary school, six years of junior high and high school, and a quick three years of college. But her connection with the college goes back even further. Her father taught physical educa- tion and coached gymnastics even before she was born, and her mother was a Lipscomb home- coming queen. And with a brother and three sisters still at Lipscomb and with plans to teach second grade at a Christian elementary school, her involvement with Lipscomb is likely to con- tinue. It’s little wonder, then, that Lipscomb students should point their attention toward Lisa Hanvey. Her personal involvement — as a cheerleader, a campus beauty contestant, a social club mem- ber, and twice a homecoming attendant — underscored her closeness to the school. But her sparkling personality and gentle kindness insured her selection as a student ideal for 1976 — Miss Lipscomb. 258 Honors No one could spend much time at Lipscomb without encountering Jim Lawrence. The well-rounded Smithville native was involved in just about every facet of campus life, from sports and politics to performance and intel- lectual pursuits. Jim participated in intercollegiate track and field for three of his four years in college. But his political science-communications ma- jor and his membership in the Woodrow Wilson Society belies the normal image of the sports enthusiast. His interest in politics was never a merely academic one, though: He ran an unsuccessful race against Steve Flatt for the presidency of the student body and won a race to be president of the June graduating class. And he was a member of Delta Na Na Na show. It was this kind of well-roundedness, along with Jim’s own brand of easy-going charm, that made him the students’ choice as Bache - lor of Ugliness, 1976.

Her Gamma Lambda social club sis- ters elected her their president, the Civinettes their vice-president. But her real love is her avocation — teaching children — and to this end the Glasgow, Ky., native worked in tutoring programs and the Student Tennessee Education Association to supplement her elementary educa- tion training. Steve Burton Slugging homers out of Onion Dell was a trademark of Nashville’s Steve Burton. Playing four years from the Bison dugout, Burton be- came familiar as a designated hitter while injured in addition to being known in his normal position crouched behind opposing teams’ hit- ters. When not playing or practicing, Burton worked toward complet- ing his business management major. 264 Honors Linda Fussell Known to Elam Hall girls as a quintessential resident assistant, Linda Fussell found other identities elsewhere on campus. An elementary education major from Dickson, Tn., she served as president of STEA and as a board member of Civinettes, in addition to holding membership in Pi Delta Social Club. Teresa Dyer Long nights and longer headaches became un- friendly companions to Teresa Dyer during her ten- ure as editor of the 1975 BACKLOG, But once the pressure of deadlines subsided, the Centerville, Tn., native returned to the chemistry major’s familiar white coat — and other extracurriculars as vice- president of Kappa Chi social club and secretary of the Society of Collegiate Journalists. Rick Garman Leading in the Interclub Council's direction of major social club events is virtually a full-time job for the ICC president. Richard Garman, a biology major from Middleton, Ky., tackled that chore for 1975-76, in addition to directing Sigma Chi Delta’s participation in campus events as its president. He was also a member of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. fcc Honors 265 Kaye Garner When not trying to figure out ways to avoid handling rats in the psychology lab, Kaye Garner was as active as the trigger of a Skinner box. A resident assistant in Fanning Hall and president of Psi Chi psychology fraternity, she was a member of STEA and the Society of Collegiate Journalists. She was a former Babbler staff worker. . a Sees Pee Wayne Garrett Dramatic and literary pursuits characterized Nashville’s pices eee Soe, Wayne Garrett. President of Alpha Psi Omega drama Roe ces oe fraternity and former vice-president of Footlighters, Gar- Poe rett captured the male lead in Taming of the Shrewto add to the many roles he has played in his college years. are Garrett displayed his prowess with the pen as amember of the BACKLOG’s copywriting task force and as a prize- winning short story author in the Southern Literary Festi- val. He was an English major and member of the English Club and Sigma Tau Delta. ee ae ree gs a ee a = 266 Honors a de iE i A he a An : Cindy Gean a 1975 homecoming attendant and campus beauty. Sam Hamstra Sam Hamstra was one music major with plenty of accomplishments outside the practice rooms and recital halls. A Bison baseball player, he was given honorable mention for 1974’s NAIA All- American team. The Berwin, Il., native was also a member of the concert band and Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity. Linda Gray Homecoming Queen Linda Gray was not unaccustomed to honors during her college life. The Nashville English major had also been picked as a homecoming attendant and campus beauty finalist. But her real interests lay in mission work. Secretary of the Good News Club, Linda participated in campaigns and missionary efforts all over the U.S. and in numerous foreign countries. She was a member of the Eng- lish Club and Kappa Chi social club as well. Cindy Gean provided ample proof that beauty bears no neces- sary correlation to being blond or dumb. The Nashville brunette was an English major, a Babbler sports editor and BACKLOG sec- retary, and a member of the Society of Collegiate Journalists, K-ettes, the English Club, and Kappa Chi social club. A second year returnee to the Bison cheering squad, she was chosen as Honors 267 me apie Sara Harwell Sara Harwell’s smile was a familiar and comforting sight to those who regularly haunted the library. But her affection for books went beyond the cir- culation desk: A history major from Nashville, she was president of Phi Alpha Theta history frater- nity and vice-president of the English Club. She also held membership in STEA and performed in th band. 268 Honors Karen Himelrick Karen Himelrick was very active in the Music Department. A music education major from Glasgow, Ky., she served as president of Sigma Alpha lota music sorority for two years and as vice-president of Music Educators’ National Conference. She played with the Early Music Consort and the band. Joanna Joyce The Music Department was a surro- gate home for Bassett, Va.’s Joanna Joyce during her stay at Lipscomb. As secretary of Chorale for two years, she was named Most Out- standing Member of the Chorale for 1974-75. And asa music education major she held membership in Sig- ma Alpha lota, MENC, and STEA. But she had outside interests as well: She was a member of Psi Alpha so- cial club and played for Singarama. Greg Holmes Wherever there was social club activity, Greg Holmes was seldom far away. As president of Delta Nu social club, he was an active participant in the Interclub Council. A biochemistry major from Decatur, Al., he was a member of the American Chemical Society and a former cross-country runner. BIE, JoEtta Hyne Student body secretary JoEtta Hyne tackled with all her force any activity in which she had interest. Not content with daily Bible classes, the Nashvillian split her time between her art major and and another in Bible. She lent her leadership and talent to the 1974 BACKLOG as assistant editor, to 1975 Singarama as an assis- tant director, and to Delta Sigma social club as its vice-president. WHO'S WHO Honors 269 Jim Lawrence Political science-communica- tions major Jim Lawrence never found the view of the public eye uncomfortable — nor being in it unusual. Aside from his recurring roles in so- cial club Delta Nu’s ’50’s revue, Delta Na Na Na, Lawrence Wher stood before the student body both as June class president and 1976 Bachelor of Ugliness. The Smithville, Tn., native also worked with the track team for four years and was a member of the Good News Club. Roger Loyd From keeping close watch on different kinds of courts on the south side of the campus, one might get the impression that the racquet was an extension of Roger Loyd’s arm. Loyd spent four years leading Lipscomb’s tennis team and two years on the badminton team. Off the courts he was a business major from Brentwood and a member of Delta Nu. WHO'S WHO 270 Honors Tommy Marcrom Manchester’s Tommy Marcrom dedicated the time he spent outside biology and chemistry labs to being well- rounded. During his third year as an A Cappella tenor, its members elected him president. Phi Mu Alpha, “The Saxons” singing group, and Omega Nu social club also laid claims to some of Tommy’s energy. Frankie Mayo Mention Frankie Mayo’s name and most Lipscomb sports fans think of tennis. The Nashville home eco- nomics major served four years as captain of the DLC women’s tennis team. She was also a member of Delta Sigma social club and Delta Theta Pi home economics club. Rusty McCain Few basketball players sit on the bench after three years of active service. Rusty McCain did, though, as Coach Don Meyer's assis- tant. McCain was a Pi Epsilon member and a social studies educa- tion major from Wildwood, Fl. Honors 271 WHO'S WHO Kathleen McCracken Nashville’s Kathleen McCracken shared inter- ests between majors in two departments — English and psychology — and her extracur- ricular life reflected the same balance. She served as president of the English Club and was a member of Psi Chi psychology fraternity. She also helped revive Lipscomb’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta English fraternity, which she also served as president. Tom Montgomery Chemistry major Tom Montgom- ery developed scholarship in his field into asumma cum laude ranking. But his proficiency in his field took his name farther than the fourth floor of the Science Building and the front page of the Babbler. He was named a winner of the American Chemical Socie- ty’s Analytical Chemistry Award. The Lewisburg, Tn., native was al- so aresident assistant in High Rise Dormitory anda member of the Good News Club. 272 Honors Rebecca Nance Whether it meant travelling overseas to teach Christ in Italy or spending afternoons tutoring youngsters at Hap- py Hills Boys Ranch, Rebecca Nance never hesitated to use her teaching talents to spread Christian good will. An elementary education major from Nashville, she was a member of STEA and Psi Alpha social club. Sharon Oatts Sharon Oatts’s four years of experience on the Lipscomb cheerleading squad stood her in good stead her senior year, as she was elected captain of the squad. But pom- pons did not absorb all of her interest: She was a board member of K-ettes, amember of Delta Sigma social club, and a member of STEA. She was a sociology education major from Hopkinsville, Ky. ‘ : th oh Pes pe « we a 2 POGOe Jimmy Netterville Jimmy Netterville may not have admitted preferring the potter’s wheel and the woodworker’s awl to the dessica- tor and burette of the chemistry lab, but he could more often be found exercising his talents with the former. A day student representative and former Civitan, he repre- sented his class as vice-president and as a 1976 homecom- ing escort. Honors 273 Roy Osborne The same combination of quick wits and poise that won Roy Osborne honors in national for- ensic tournaments brought him to the helm of Lipscomb’s student government. Osborne also led Delta Nu social club as president and was chosen as a student representative on the Stu- dent Affairs Committee for 1975-76. The Nash- ville accounting major was a National Merit Scholarship winner. HO'S WHO Susie Pullias Service and efficient leadership of service efforts marked Susie Pullias’s extracurricular involvement during college. She was dis- trict corresponding secretary for Collegiate Civitan, a board member of the Lipscomb chapter of Civinettes, and a member of Phi Beta Lambda. She was an office administration major from Coral Gables, FI. 274 Honors Cyndi Rosenblum Cyndi Rosenblum took her applied music major seri- ously. It led her to involvement in Chorale, Early Mu- sic Consort, Sigma Alpha lota sorority, and the Music Educator’s National Conference, not to mention her solo efforts. But the Huntsville, Al., native did not take her studies so seriously that she could not serve two terms as president of Zeta Nu social club. Darlene Shepard A psychology major from Centerville, Tn., Darlene Shepard won the coveted honor of salutatorian of the December graduating class. But her election as presi- dent of Kappa Chi social club had less to do with psychology than personality and leadership — not as topics for study, but as attributes for living. Phillip Sprayberry Phillip Sprayberry combined the easily joined fields of music and drama for a college career full of activity. He displayed talent in Chorale and Pied Pipers, Band and Footlighters. A member of Alpha Psi Omega honorary drama fraternity, he served as president of Phi Mu Alpha honorary music fra- ternity. But fora career the Summerville, Ga., native chose teaching over performance, and therefore took music edu- cation as a major and held membership in STEA and MENC. Honors 275 Pam Whitesell Pam Whitesell’s quiet efficiency and diplomatic exper- tise eased her through two quarters as a very active secretary of the student body. She served as a student representative on the Student Affairs Committee for 1975-76. A member of Psi Alpha social club, the Nash- ville French major worked with the Good News Club, specifically as a participant in Project Good News. David Taylor June co-salutatorian David Taylor’s humility belies his diverse accomplishments. A pianist of statewide renown, the Nashvillian performed for Lipscomb’s Carousel as well as performing onstage as a Footlighter and amember of Pied Pipers. Taylor’s biochemistry major led him to the American Chemical Society’s presidency and membership in the American Institute of Biological Sciences. Penny Tenpenny Three years as a cheerleader and two as a Campus beauty put Penny Tenpenny in the forefront of cam- pus notoriety. And her role in student government as a class officer and member of the Interclass Council underscored her involvement, as did her membership in Delta Sigma social club. From Nashville, Mrs. Ten- penny was a home economics major and member of Delta Theta Pi. 276 Honors court. Jeff Whitfield Sitting ona table in a chemistry laboratory was one of the many things Jeff Whitfield did well. The Nashville native’s pre-medicine curriculum, though, kept him busy with a biochemistry major’s lab implements as well. And he used them well enough to be- come Valedictorian of the August graduating class. But he was never too busy to devote time to duties as arepresentative to the day stu- dent council — nor to sit fora friendly chat. Cyndi Tomlinson Cyndi Tomlinson’s extracurricular activities spanned a scope from service to social to performance. An ac- counting major from Paducah, Ky., she served as state president of Phi Beta Lambda. As president of Psi Al- pha social club, she was elected secretary of the Inter- club Council for 1974-75. She performed with A Cap- pella and was an attendant in the 1976 Homecoming Honors 277 David A. Adams ¢ Memphis, Tn. Marsha Adams @ Brentwood, Tn. Steven Ward Adams ¢ A ntioch, Tn.

Somewhere between Plato’s ‘Know thyself” and Cicero’s “Control thyself” lies Lipscomb’s champion quiz team, which polished off the first annual UT-Nashville College Bowl in February. Team captain Doug Wyatt led members Jenny Kotora, Wayne Garrett, Mike Thomas, David Taylor, and Larry Bumgardner through four wins and one loss. The team vanquished teams from Austin Peay, UT-Chatta- nooga, Milligan, and the University of Alabama at Huntsville, losing by five points to UT-N’s entrants. The final round, pitting Lipscomb against Austin Peay, ended in a decisive victory for Lipscomb, with a score of 110-45. Dr. Sara Whitten, sponsor of the team, coached from a sideline seat, occasionally becoming so active in her role that she received reprimands from the judges of the events. 278 Seniors Nancy Janette Burke @ Nashville, Tn.

Briefly resting on a ketchup-stained table, a briefcase is opened by its owner, a frail speci- men of academe wearing a pencil-thin tie. It yields arather ordinary peanut butter sand- wich, and is shut again. Another briefcase snoozes peacefully under a desk as its owner participates in an invigorating discussion of pre-Mayan geometry. It is also opened for a moment, receives a thick textbook, then dis- appears through the door. Yet another brief- case rests on a desk, crammed with test papers. An invertebrate professor stares at it in mute horror, asymbol of work undone. A dean, eager to go home after a taxing day of labor, clutches his briefcase firmly in hand as he leaves his office. Only those special humans, those neuters willing to devote their entire being to receiv- ing the perfect grade or performing the perfect lecture equip themselves with a “case”. The benighted briefcaseless student can but wonder what mysteries reside in these inscrutable containers. Strange rumors are bruited about: Perhaps the briefcase owners form a dangerous secret society whose ad- versaries meet their ends in murky rivers; perhaps unguents of Hong Kong, not yet understood by our doctors, are transported through these briefcases to elevate the Karma of the American young. Or perhaps illicit weapons of war, ultimately destined for a rag- tag revolutionary army in the wilds of Afric, pass through our very neighborhood in these seemingly innocuous briefcases. How can the pariah sans briefcase function in an increasingly briefcase world? How can he compete whilst trudging bookladen through the snow drifts of education, watching the equipped scholar strolling comfortably and ef- ficiently with his Ronco briefcase? There is no competition, brother. We must but sit back and marvel and envy, for the briefcased stu- dent is not merely a student, but a man of mystery, that special sort of person whose life is arranged as neatly as that rather ordinary peanut butter sandwich.

But I run it for student pre- sidence and you make the fun of me. | don’t understand the fun, why do you say | have wet back? It was that the Chicano student center | wanted, and to wear the sombrero to class. And a three o’clock curfew for the siesta. And to move Festi- val of Hearts to Halloween. And never would the muchachas date it with me. | no have tortilla of the breath | no care what she say. But that is all behind it to me now. As your grande presidence Ricardo Nixon he said, not to have Juan to kick around, not any more. But I still am proud of what | learn in the United States. | now help my brothers and sisters (I got 17 now, little Pepito he die of dysentery), and when | go walking at the street the people look to me and say there go Juan he’s been to the United States of America to the college. But none of the muchachas here will date it with me either; they all have bebes now. So I sit. My trees with figs now grow very well; | begin to feel the pesos clink clink into my palms. | often think to my Yankee amigos. You were very good amigos. | no take of baths as you do, but it was of no matter. None of my 44 roommates cared. Tell the muchachos the one about chili today, hot tamale was so funny. | got it today. So adios, amigos. When | watch the graceful llama to glide swiftly across the pampas, when I see the wild caballeros chase the pretty senoritas, | think of my loco Yankee amigos and their crazy gringo ways.

For four years, through the fears of freshman life, the warmth of friendships, the pleasures of involvement, the senior has anticipated the final days. But when they come, they are somehow not welcome. Perhaps the honors of those final days are invented to make the pangs of expulsion from the system more palatable. The honor of walking out first after the last day of chapel, insuring that a senior won’t be able to sit and reflect. The honor of faculty members serving country ham at the Dean’s Breakfast to insure that the graduate won't have time to be too maudlin. The hon- or of receiving tassle and diploma — tangible symbols of completion of cold requirements, ignoring the life behind that experience. The parents gleam with pride, the undergraduate ex- presses his envy, and the graduate himself pays lip-ser- vice to his overwhelming desire to get out, be gone. But he only manages to fool others. And himself, occa- sionally. Jon Rosalyn New ¢ Cincinnati, Oh. Grady Wayne Oakley ¢ Greensboro, N.C. Carol Denise Oates @ Sheffield, Al. Sharon Darlene Oatts © Hopkinsville, Ky.

The halls are empty, the last slamming of the last locker door jarring in its finality. All that’s left of the teeming resident population, is the debris from many hurried ex- its. McQuiddy’s hardwood, Onion Dell’s bleach- ers, Crisman’s squeaking stack stairs are all strangely silent. The only sounds are those of the administration and staff, inexorably insuring that the process will begin again. And it will. Richard Joseph Tamble, Jr. ¢ Brentwood, In.

But they are over- shadowed by feelings of relief and regret — relief that it’s all over, regret that quality hasn’t lived up to expectations. When James McClung and I sat down a year ago to plan this book, we reconsidered all the philosophies of annual pro- duction we had ever heard. We decided the emphasis should properly be placed on coverage, but that we should avoid a strict journalistic approach, since that is counter to Lipscomb’s conception of what a yearbook should be. The BACKLOG has always taken a more or less artistic approach to covering a year, and we retain that approach. Reorganizing our delivery schedule was part of our em- phasis on coverage. I regret our failure to get all the bugs out of the system | think it’s workable and should be given a few years to gel. Another part was an effort to cover not only events and people, the tangible aspects of school life, but the intangibles as well — traditions, feelings, moods, and the basic philosophy of the school. Some things, I’m sure, we've covered inadequately, and I apologize. What success we’ve had was done with the help of some good folks. Willard Collins and Edsel Holman were more than cooperative in the planning stages, and Mary Sherrill was more than patient in helping during the year. Jackie Howard and Deanna Blankenship kept tabs on the compli- cated business end. John and Mary Nelle Hutcheson gave of food, accommodations, advice, and sympathy. Rudy Sand- ers gave plenty of good hints and hours for photography. Eunice Bradley, who has helped immeasurably through my years of association with Lipscomb publications, gave abundantly of support, confidence, tidbits and verifica- tions. Harold McGehee and Gary Dyer of Josten’s AYC never yelled at me, or haven’t yet, nor did Cynthia Dil- gard, Charles Parker, or Harvey Floyd, who excused far more shirking and sleeping in their classes than they ever should have. Special debts are due Steve Prewitt, Doug Wyatt, and Larry Bumgardner, who worked wonders with copy; Ralph Thur- man and Buz Paine, whose talents are responsible for the artwork throughout the book; Stan Barber, who took many last-minute picture and darkroom assignments off my back; Juanita Southard and Clay Walker, who gave freely of spare time; and. Becky Collins and Lynn Laughlin, who created time for the BACKLOG even when they had none. And there’s the redoubtable James McClung, to whom any ex- pression of gratitude could only be an insult. This book is finished. | turn in this copy tomorrow, ending an experience | can truly say I’m glad I’ve had. | hope its readers are glad as well.
