Who would win the 1976 presidential election? What would the new president do about economic problems? And how would he handle the growing problem of dissatisfaction of the American people with their government? With his election, Jimmy Carter became the target for these queries. He answered them by immediately setting several plans into action. Sky-watchers found Carter’s foreign policy to be a very interesting subject, as well as its effect on the Soviet SALT talks and relations with the Mid-East. No less interesting were domestic policies, the stand on amnesty, and federal spending. The nation began literally watching the sky as winter came on with greater fury than had been witnessed in some time. Sub-freezing temperatures and unusual amounts of precipitation increased demand on an already low fuel supply. Shortages arose and debate over the Alaska pipeline continued as the nation shivered under winter’s wrath. As always, however, spring came; the nation thawed, and oil flowed through the pipeline at last. With summer’s approach meteorologists began to check the sky over California in hopes of finding rain clouds to ease drought conditions and observers continued to check the political heavens for indications of what would happen next. Foreword 5 38 pu art EM i ¥ % | ¥ + 6 Foreword David Lipscomb College mirrored national events during the year: Lively student body president elections brought leaders who stressed greater student involvement, the school faced energy and economic problems due to the hard winter, and a long-time goal was reached triumphantly. Set apart from the hubbub of metropolitan Nashville and the mad rush of the world, the school bases its existence on _ morality and dignity. Like the human rights aspect of _ President Carter’s foreign policy, Lipscomb emphasizes _ conformity to rules of conduct — those rules set forth by _ God’s law, the fundamental principles of Christianity. In this _ place the student may explore and question. There is time to _ investigate academics, to contemplate self, to mature. - Lipscomb stands as a type of the nation — a community _ within itself, reflecting the world around it, yet differing in its _slower pace and more defined approach to problem-solving. “Do you know what a man is?

He hesitates momentarily, turning in every direction and wondering which way to go . The mouse is a Lipscomb student, and the maze, the exhibits at Rush Fair. Each exhibit alluringly beckons the enthusiastic, but somewhat confused, spectator to investigate. The mouse then runs the pattern. He rushes here and there, hopefully searching for that certain club. Could this be the one? Alas, no! How about this one? Again, nothing. Reaching the point of utter distraction, he spies an exhibit he hasn’t visited. He draws nearer and nearer. Is this, at last, the correct path? Yes, he has found the club that built the better mousetrap! 4 j BULUVE VEER EEEE uh 16 Social Clubs x A ee at 3 « we « ee At (1) Rush Fair’s carnival atmosphere lent gaiety to the brisk autumn afternoon. (2) Bewitching activities awaited those who visited McQuiddy Gymnasium that day. (3) Some groups built elaborate booths to impress visitors, (4) while others just clowned around. (5) All the clubs presented projects in hopes of capturing new members. (6) Old-fashioned girls and modern gathered to discuss the prospects, (7) while some made friendship quilts and (8) others attempted to bring in a good catch. ; Social Clubs 17 Pledging: it stays the same The more it changes, the more it stays the same. Pledging, that compendium of rituals that serves to perpetuate itself and the social club system, never really reforms, despite periodic reforms. Blatant humiliation gives way to more subtle forms of the art, which in time become blatant. And the trappings remain the same: Badges and headgear, candyboxes and stuffed animals, “Is there anything I can do for you, sir?” and “Would you like to see my book?” Attacks on the system and the inevitable defenses, too, are always the same — as is the emergence of a new club of those who want to avoid being pledglings themselves. 18 Social Clubs 1) The threat of an active ripping a page from that vital pledge book strikes fear in the heart of every pledge. 2) Suppers with appropriate pledge awards come just before the final initiation ceremonies. 3) Slats, proper dress, 4) plaques, and books are all part of a pledge’s wardrobe during the initiation period while he 5) waits tables, 6) performs, 7) placates actives with candy, and 8) works on club projects. Social Clubs 19 October Odyssey merits effort Considering that an odyssey is a long wandering with notable experiences, perhaps the name properly depicts the events of one cold October evening. Returning to childhood games and even learning new pastimes add acquaintances through necessity. Fallen pyramids, broken relays, searches for treasure in sawdust, and the realization that tomorrow will bring sore muscles only serve as momentary deterrents to the participant and onlooker alike. After all, notable experiences in the wanderings of many come few and far between and merit the effort given. 20 Social Clubs (1) As evidenced by the water on the ground, (2) Odyssey participants found that it’s not easy to fill a coke bottle from a sponge-full of water while running in a circle, (3) No group seemed to be greatly skilled in this new art, (4) Despite freezing temperatures, the crowd enjoyed the competition (5) as the Civinettes and Tau Phi triumphed in pyramid building, (6) club members searched for buried treasure, and (7) many hands passed upside-down bottles, hopefully without spilling any water.

Social club members get into the costumes they’ve prepared the night before — killer bees, monks and nuns, elves, Romans, countrymen Only the normal people need no preparation: They will wear snickers. The characters convene for chapel in McQuiddy gym, with the traditional parade, the traditional bedecking of Ringmaster Willard Collins, and the traditional speech by Coach Don Meyer — with non-traditional fake nose. 40 Bison Day 1) The celebration began with the reading of the Bison Day proclamation and 2) traditional decoration of Vice-President Collins by the social clubs. Following these ceremonies, club members marched in the grand parade of Bison Day creatures. 3) McQuiddy was the site of a visit from a group of monks and an exhibition by 4) the Bison Bay Bombers led by Dr. Pe rry Cotham. 5) A giant pep rally ushered in 6) a rather strange- looking Coach Don Meyer for his annual Bison Day speech. 7) Caught in the no-man’s-land of center-court during the parade was a lone casualty. 8) Meanwhile, the Christian-eating lion from the Coliseum invited paraders to join him for supper 9) as one of Santa’s elves led carols. Bison Day 41 The Bison Day circus acts continued throughout the day. Unoriginal clubs marched across campus in costume; original clubs did a little more. Very little more. Sigma Chi Delta staged a mock roller derby between its Bison Bay Bombers and its Latter Day Saints. The Bison Bay Bombers won. Kappa Phi’s army troops camped in front of the Lipscomb Dining Center, but played touch football since there was no one to fight. And WBSN reported what there was to report. 42 Bison Day 1) After chapel Killer Bees posted themselves at vantage points on campus to protect against invasion. 2) Cowgirls performed rope tricks and 3) roller derby contestants took a few tumbles for the entertainment of wandering Bison Day celebrants, 4) Activities of the day included trying to come up with the best motto or 5), 6), 7) parading to the pep rally. 8) Kappa Phi joined the Killer Bees in protecting the campus, 9) while the newsgirls shouted headlines over the campus. Bison Day 43 Bison Day spirit peaked at the night’s basketball opener with Benedictine College. But despite the abundant enthusiasm, and despite the impressive halftime performance by DLC gymnasts, the lead see-sawed between the Bisons and Benedictine’s Saints. In the end, Bison fortunes waned and the Saints picked up the 70-62 win. 44 Bison Day In addition to marking the opening of basketball season, Bison Day begins the gymnastic season at Lipscomb. ) During this first exhibition, the gymnasts played their favorite game of tumbling and flips, 2) Walter McDade performed his iron cross, seemingly without effort, and 3) a team member showed his profiency on the high bar. Coach Meyer’s face told the story as the game progressed. 4) He sat watching calmly at first, 5) but later rose with anxiety, and, finally, 6) stood helplessly as time ran out. 7) From the tip-off 8), 9) and throughout the game, the team fought; but to no avail. 10) Nevertheless, the crowd let it be known that they were behind the Bisons for another season. Bison Day 45 Singarama revamps system of judging With the coming of spring a mood settles over Lipscomb. Spirits vascillate between eager expectation and exhausted drudgery. Books are again forgotten and all energies are directed toward a major campus happening — Singarama. Singarama 1977 differed in several ways from Singaramas of the past. The usual overriding theme was abandoned this year in favor of each group coming up with its own idea. And the show ran three nights, rather than two as in previous years. This was advantageous to the new judging system: All three performances were judged by four different judges each night. To pick the winning group, all scores were tallied on the final night of competition. Choreography was also added to the list of judging divisions which already included development of theme, music, set and costume design, and audience appeal. Sigma Iota Delta, Kappa Chi, Delta Nu, Pi Delta, and Lambda Psi captured the spirit of the “Ole South” with their theme, “The South’s Gonna Do It Again”. Directed by Mike Thrasher, the group portrayed the story of a Northerner being converted to the ways of the South. 46 Singarama !) Sue Hardaway stole the heart of the audience with the theme from “Tara.” 2) “Come on and boogie, Ed!” said Eunice (Lois Ann Barker) as she tried to convince him that the South is the best place to be. Fd (Mike McCoy) remained unconvinced — at least for a time. 3) An old-time fiddler paced the show as 4) Sheri Bailey showed how they did it in “her day” with her rendition of “Cotton Fields”. 5) Some preferred the new steps, 6) others preferred the stately walts. 7) But however they did it, there was a song to tell about it, as director Mike Thrasher proved. 8) There was romance too. 9) Eunice finally made Ed believe that the South is the place to be in the finale of “The South’s Gonna Do It Again.” Singarama 47 “Hollywood Visits the Grand Old Opry”, presented by Tau Phi, Sigma Phi, Kappa Phi, Alpha Sigma, and Zeta Nu, evoked foot-stomping from the audience and elicited the award for audience appeal from the judges. Featuring imitations of famous Opry stars, the story told how the traditional show resisted attempts by Hollywood producers to modernize it by adding glitter and tinsel. Geoffrey Sikes directe d the group. = ; yy SMyal Yo } a 1 Piguit ef 48 Singarama icici MC Cee get Guests on the “Opry” were ) Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner 3) the Four Guys ) Jack Green and Jeanne Sealey 2) Little Jimmy Dickens, Minnie Pearl and Tennessee Ernie Ford. 6) Grant Turner introduced everyone and the 9) squaredancers and 2) commercials entertained the 10) lively fans. 8) ““Hairl’” Hensley winced as the 4) Hollywood people tried to take over and finally gave the 5) Hollywood director what he deserved. 6) Director Geoffrey Sikes watched rehearsals carefully. 1) Accompanist Lisa Reynolds provided the music for “The Trauma of Singarama” and 2) Dee Reynolds directed. 3) Tommy Marcrom, Dirk Forrister, Tony Phipps, and Arthur McBride directed the on-stage “traumatic Singarama”. Everyone gets into the act at Singarama time — even 4) the Bison Room Lady, 8) Big John, Jonsey, and 0) Nathan Reece, campus security guards. Group II said you must find the 6) shy, talented ones, 7) you must practice and practice, and 9) sometimes you must fight about it to put on a good show. 5) But when you finally get it together, “It’s a Miracle.” S0 Singarama Perhaps Sigma Chi Delta, Phi Omega, Omega Nu, and Psi Alpha best described the experience of Singarama with their show, “The Trauma of Singarama’’, sub-titled, “It’s a Miracle”. Dee Reynolds directed as they took the audience through the process of putting the production together, from the first planning meetings to the final polished performance. And when the judges announced their decision, they demonstrated why more than 350 students participate in the exhausting event — they took honors in two of the five categories, choreography and set and costume design, and were very happy. Singarama 51 Capturing two more of the five judging categories was the group comprised of Alpha Tau, Delta Sigma, Gamma Lambda, and Omega Chi. Not only did they win the awards for music and originality and development of theme; they were awarded the grand prize for the best group. “A Brand New Day’, directed by Lee Milam, was the story of a day in a big city and included medleys, imitations, and a brass band. 1 j 52 Singarama !) “A Brand New Day” opened with a duet by Michael Brooks and Cindy Harless. The events of the day included 2) a medley by the baseball team, 3) antics by some kids 4) and their mother, 5) an undercover caper by a pair of special cops, 6) a couple saying good-bye, 7) lunch with the Hot Dog Man and 8) the latest report on ingredients of hot dogs, 9) (Yech!), and 0) a visit from Ronald MacDonald. ) Lee Milam, director, prepared for another rehearsal. Singarama 53 Alone. That’s how he does it —all alone. Every day it is the same: Running and running — just him and the elements and his thoughts. To compete, the crosscountry runner must build his strength daily with long- distance runs so that when he meets his opponent he will have the endurance to last through the race. But his most formidable opponent is his mind. What must he be thinking as he runs? His thoughts could only be of the physical agony that comes with each jarring step; the torture as he forces himself to keep up the pace. And it’s always there, whether he’s actually running a race or just practicing. For the crosscountry runner the competition is with himself: It is the contest of mind over body. For the first time in school history, Lipscomb’s crosscountry team captured first place honors in the NAIA District 24 championship run. During an undefeated year in home dual meets, the Bison cindermen broke several school records and brought home individual trophies. The track and crosscountry team placed 25th in the NAIA national meet. Crosscountry 55 56 Badminton Badminton coach Duane Slaughter reported that badminton is not an up-and- coming sport. “However,” he said, “we're doing all we can here at Lipscomb to increase its popularity.” Lipscomb again hosted the City Open and State Open Badminton Tournaments and the team participated in tournaments with schools from across middle Tennessee. je a. STA Rati i oe Much scorn must be endured by these netters. People say it’s just a kid’s game. Badminton ... that’s something you play in the backyard. It doesn’t take any skill to hit the birdie, wait, hit the birdie, wait. To the skilled badminton player, however, this interval is the moment for appraising the opponent and planning strategy; for getting set for the shot that will win the rally and, with the rally, the match. Contrary to popular opinion, badminton is a game of skill requiring pinpoint accuracy and critical strategy, matched with the physical agility and quickness to execute the shots. Badminton 57 Gymnastics is a sport characterized by irony: Each graceful and delicate movement is performed by brute strength. The beautiful routines develop through hours of individual practice. The gymnast strives for precision in everything. He works not against other gymnasts, but against a standard: To exceed that standard is his goal. Throughout practice and performances his concentration is centered on perfection; and only when his performance is finished will he share the joy of achievement with teammates. Despite being a young team, Lipscomb gymnasts proved their ability by posting a 7-0 dual meet season. With all team members qualifying for the event, the team took sixth place at the national NAIA meet in Montana. Four of the gymnasts took individual honors: Jimmy Gibby — eighth in all-around competition, John Biggs — sixth on the parallel bars and seventh on the horizontal bars, John Schasney — fourth in vaulting, and John Dunn — third place on the rings. 58 Gymnastics Gymnastics 59 60 Basketball Lipscomb cagers chalked up a 17-10 record for the 1976-77 season, the best record in the past ten years. Coach Don Meyer said, “We're a young team and still growing. The guys are determined and put out a lot of effort. We’re looking forward to next year.” Basketball is a game of offensive and defensive strategies. Each play, beautiful in its own right, forms a pattern with each player performing his special duty. Here, then, is the definition of basketball: It is a team sport. Unless each team member does exactly what he is supposed to do, interacting with the others, the play does not work; the pattern is ruined. Basketball 6 l 62 Cheerleaders With their actions and expressions cheerleaders direct the emotions of the crowd. Though the fans are excited by the game, it is the group of cheerleaders that conducts the excitement, uniting and transmitting it to the team in the form of encouragement or praise. Here strategy is employed to build the furor of the crowd at exactly the right time to help the home team or upset the opponent. Cheerleading is an athletic event in itself. The routines involve intricate maneuvers that require agility and strength, and patterns that require much practice and teamwork. What would an athletic contest be without cheerleaders? Indeed, what would a Bison basketball game be without those energetic ladies? Cheerleaders 63 64 Crowds Rather than being a distraction, the clamor of the crowd at a basketball game seems to heighten the abilities of the players. If there is only a small turn-out or if the crowd isn’t paying attention, the team lacks confidence and falters. If, however, the throng creates a tremendous din, the players perform at their best. Spectators are as essential to the sport as the basketball itself. ® : ; eR 66 Baseball Among the first toys given almost every little boy is a baseball and bat. Father and son favor a game of catch for the afternoon over most other activities. With this early beginning, the boy plays sandlot ball until he is old enough for the little league ... he plays with the dream of someday being on the varsity team. And so he spends many hours working toward fulfillment of that vision. Accuracy is what he must strive for because that’s the name of the game. A pitcher must throw the ball across a very small area in the strike zone; a batter cannot be a slugger unless he can make that specific point of contact with the ball; fielders must be able to position themselves properly to catch balls hit to them. This requires concentration and practice by the individual that must later be coordinated for a team effort. Hopes for the Bison baseball team’s getting into the district tournament faded at one time during the year. However, the team came out of the slump not only to bring home first place district and regional trophies, but also to capture the NAIA national championship. Honored as Most Valuable Player of the NAIA World Series was Bison pitcher Steve Fletcher. Second baseman Bobby Parsons won the Bronze Glove Award. And Fletcher, Parsons, Bobby Hamilton, and Tim Pardue were named to the All- Tournament team. Baseball 67 Though the season was disappointing for Lipscomb’s netters, the young teams grew. The doubles team of Greg Scott and Phillip Lancaster qualified for national competition and made their way to the 16th round before being eliminated. 68 Tennis ile a cs iti | A skilled service or perfect shot comes only after countless hours of practice. Though tennis has become the most popular sport for young and old alike, few work hard enough at it to participate in serious competition. The dedicated netter Jabors for the game. He must build stamina and endurance as well as accuracy. He must be able to outlast his opponent physically and, at the same time, outdo him strategically. Tennis 69 70 Golf Golf carries none of the boisterous excitement and vigorousness of the other varsity sports. It is a game of concentration and skill characterized by camaraderie among the players. The opponent is the course — the challenge is to determine how fast the green is and which direction the ball will break. With time limits forgotten, team members analyze each shot and prepare mentally for each stroke. Lipscomb golfers toured Scotland early in the season. The week- long tour of the game’s birthplace included play at several historic courses and an invitational to the International Intercollegiate team championships. The team placed seventh in this tournament. The team posted a 6-2 season, won championships at the Sewaney University of the South Invitational and District 24 tournament and runner-up in the Opryland Collegiate Classic, and qualified for the NAIA national tournament. Will Brewer captured All-American honors for the third year by placing seventh in this tournament, while the team placed 14th. a a aaa « a ae aae Golf 71 It is a strange addiction that causes an individual to devote himself to developing the skills required for track and field competition. Running, stretching, throwing — these are activities that tear the muscles and jar , the body. But the track star does not think of the pain. He thinks only of the goal that he strives to attain: He must be the best, the fastest and strongest. And to do this, he must spend hours alone in preparation. 72 Track he Track 73 Who knows how many times during the earth's history the process of metamorphosis has occurred? __ The transformation of lowly worms into colorful = winged creatures has fascinated man throughout the _ centuries. _. _ Observers find Lipscomb an excellent place to investigate this phenomenon, for the change comes __ to students also.

Well, you see, there’s a combination of factors. First, I'd say, there’s repetition of the pattern set in early high school, the supposed disparity in the maturity level of the male and female coupled with long-standing prejudice of the need for female inferiority. Precisely. Except upper-class women who either fail to get dates from upper-class men because they are dating freshpeople or who are trying to rebel against the establishmentarian policy — dictating that women date only men older than they. That sounds good to me. But surely those aren’ tf the only factors. Oh, by no means. We must consider the vastly different situation into which one is thrust when he or she comes to Lipscomb. The new student tends to think things will continue at college in = the same vein as in high school. Such is the case at many colleges which are often accused of being merely four more years of high Seno, social life anyway. _ You mean when people get to college they — : _ should plan to study, not to have a oo _ Oh, by no means! The social life at collene. is” likely more active than of high school simply _ because of the boarding situation. Ah, and this leads us to another factor. What’s that? This: When a freshperson arrives, he expects to _ find mature collegians. Instead, he is surrounded by other freshpeople. The maturing process sets _ in quickly, but most freshpeople expect the other _ person to be mature more quickly than themselves. Thus, they are disappointed and disheartened, not to say disillusioned. So what’s to be done? Ah, there’s the rub. There’s nothing to be done, but to watch and wait. Eventually they'll settle into the norm. Eventually they'll become like everyone else. 90 Freshmen Susan Strickland Scottsboro, Al. Anthony Sullivan Bon Aqua, Tn. Karen Denise Sutton Milan, Tn.

The three functions, he said, are “to collect and preserve knowledge and information — the preservation function, the dissemination of knowledge — the teaching function, and the discovery of new knowledge — the research function.” . | =“ In his 31st year as president of the college Pullias worked to further the aim of Christian education. At the formal opening he encouraged student application to their studies by citing the Old Testament and King Solomon’s statement that “There is nothing new under the sun.” “I understand that to mean that everything to understand was there, but man didn’t know it. So the discovery of new knowledge is our coming to a new understanding of things that are.” The President urged that each one be aware of the importance and responsibility of an education: “Collect knowledge; build your library, even with a very few good books. We should all constantly seek new knowledge, that is, knowledge that may be of use to us. Every individual should be a little educational institution.” President Pullias joined faculty and students outside Alumni Auditorium to listen as WBSN broadcasted the play-by-play of the Bisons in the NAIA Baseball World Series.

He feels this vital part of Lipscomb has been enhanced by the renovation of Alumni Auditorium. “It is the heart of so many Lipscomb activities, both of worship and recreation. I am thankful to have this place of beauty and quiet.” Collins also heads the admissions committee and Lipscomb’s publications board. It has been noted that the success of David Lipscomb College depends on maintaining full enrollment. College enrollment for the 1976-77 school year numbered 2,154 students and plans are being made for new enrollment drives to begin in the summer of 1977. The Vice-President considers Lipscomb’s publications a means of encouraging students to attend Lipscomb. “One of the most effective avenues of publicity is the printed page. Television is fine for immediacy; but the printed page continues to build images for years. People like to show me old Backlogs when I visit in their homes; therefore, I believe Lipscomb publications build Lipscomb on a permanent basis.” Administration 105 George Walden Director of Admissions Kay Mack Secretary ety! 34 tt Jane Hardy Office Supervisor Ken Grubb Admissions Counselor awe we 106 Administration Shirley Slatton Financial Aid Edith Whitehead Financial Aid Records Jackie Hassell David Mosley Admissions Counselor oo dg gt ee ee ie et ee Oe Administration 107 Mary Proctor Secretary Dean McKelvey: ‘Our finest hour’ Dean Carl McKelvey is the man to see at Lipscomb concerning non-academic matters. As dean of students he is responsible for everything from matters of housing to social life, from health care to discipline. He said the 1976-77 school year was “the best in my seven years here as dean. It was the best for three reasons: There were fewer discipline problems, parents were ready to help with the problems before they went too far, and the school spirit was better.” This better attitude was probably due in part to the decision to allow girls to wear pants to classes. Student body president and secretary Venny Mathews and Libby Srite were instrumental in this decision, McKelvey said. “It helped student attitude — especially the girls’ — and that reflected in other things.” Plans for the expansion of Cockrill House continue. There seemed to be interest here as well as renewed interest in student government, as shown by a large increase in the percentage of students who voted in the student body elections. “Yes,” McKelvey said, “This was the best year. We have the best student body anywhere.” 108 Administration - Carl McKelvey Dean of Students ap ta 2% nee yet r 2s, =e Sees f, : A f Sarah Keith Gamble Assistant Dean of Students sae bord Administration 109 SLE aaa - Dp: Marti Pritchard Fanning Hall Head Resident Kathy Cox Elam Hall Head Resident Wayne Kendall Mary Sue Watson High Rise Head Resident Johnson Hall Head Resident Mildred Scott Nurse 110 Administration Sewell Hall Head Resident Security Nathan Reece Billy O’Brien eT Paul Hughey Steve Dodd Security Chief Security Mitchell Jones Security Paul Wolfert John Boyles Jesse Gore Security 111 Mary Ruth Buchli Accounts Payable % ae | a wee abs See Jacquelyn Howard Accounts Receivable Marie Smith Secretary to Business Manager 112 Administration Edsel Holman Business Manager Ruth Ann Williams Payroll Deborah McCumsey Debbie Walters Cashier Secretary Administration 113 es homas Cook College Store Manager Rick Poole Post Office Manager Assistant Store Manager ; , te in oi AMES RTE BB SBN SE Joyce Carter Bookkeeper Robert Burt Mail Order Assistant Manager cae ti EM honed Lora Barnard Mail Order Secretary Tracey Walling Cashier VANS 5S SG a ei team Steve Adams 114 Administration Mail Order Assistant Manager | Elmer McCoy Supervisor of Duplication Center and Warehouse .

Administration 115 Athalie Thurman Secretary Mary Emily Gore Secretary 116 Administration eS anal Mack Wayne Craig Dean Major minor system serves purpose The academic year of 1976-77 concluded the first year of the complete return to the major minor system for Lipscomb students. Dean Mack Wayne Craig said he felt that both faculty and students were pleased with the return to the old system. “There was quite a bit of complaining from the students about all the general education requirements. And the teachers were pleased to have time to delve deeper into their major and related subjects.” During the change of systems, students were allowed to choose the program they preferred, leaving some under the old general education program. Now, all students must select a minor to accompany their major field of study. “For the present it serves the purpose,” Craig said. ““Twelve years ago when we went to general education it was because students needed to be acquainted with many subject areas. Now there’s been a shift in the philosophy of education. The job market calls for specialization. Lipscomb maintains the liberal arts tradition based on study of the Bible, but is flexible to meet the situation. We changed systems because it was no longer 999 necessary ‘to be all things to all people’.

A missions major, combining offerings in sociology and speech with missions and other Bible courses, was instituted in the fall. The department also prepared for a new major in youth ministry, slated for 1977-78. The department’s full-time faculty acquired its seventh and eighth doctorates during fall quarter: Joe Gray received his long-awaited Ph.D. from Otago University, and Theodore Carruth, a New Testament specialist from Lubbock Christian College, joined the faculty. Clyde Miller collaborated with Pepperdine University’s Tony Ash on a commentary on Psalms for the Sweet Commentary Series. And Dr. Harvey Floyd spent a summer as a consultant to the World Bible Translation Center in Arlington, Texas. Faculty 121 1) Good News emphasizes mission work — in particular, home study teams. 2) Vice-President Willard Collins was one of many guest speakers for the Good News Club during the year. 3) “Project Italy” members shared their songs and 4) methods of teaching with club members. 5) This group was involved in Overseas mission work both in Italy and Scotland during the summer of 1976. Each chapter of the Good News Christian Organization was headed by special committee members. They were: Outreach — Mike Cunningham, Scott Colglazier; Project Good News — Steve Bates; Good News Banner — Anita Covington, Debbie Noland; Chi Alpha Rho — Micah McCormac, Good News Singers — Tim Lowry; Hospital Singers — Keiza Hallmark; Nurture Service — Pat Guyer; Dorm Bible Studies — Elijah Reed; Beta Sigma — Robert Riall, John Baxter; and Dactylology — Zona Hackett. Beas 122 Faculty Religious clubs consolidate Newly reorganized under Dean Carl McKelvey’s “umbrella project”, the Good News Christian Organization pervaded almost every area of campus religious life. The organization brought under one banner independent campus religious clubs and activities ranging from missions training programs to dormitory devotionals. The super-club is divided into ten chapters. “Outreach” organized and conducted domestic campaigns, while “Project Good News” and “Project Italy” prepared missionaries for long- term commitments in foreign countries. Students in Christian Nurture Services visited and tutored with orphans. Chi Alpha Rho student preachers club, Beta Sigma biblical studies club, and dormitory Bible studies programs promoted scholarship and edification. “Service Through Song” and the Dactylology club developed talents for special kinds of evangelism. And the Good News Banner kept the campus informed about Good News activities and mission developments. Faculty 123 Professors mark year with books Historical research and writing dominated the year for the Department of History and Political Science. Dr. Pat Deese won a Faculty Fellowship Grant to study U.S. foreign policy toward sub- equatorial Africa — later to form a series of scholarly articles and a possible book. Dr. James Lee McDonough began work on a manuscript recounting the history of a glider unit of the 101st Airborne Division in World War II. Another McDonough book, a history of the Civil War Battle of Shiloh, will appear in September. Also appearing in the fall will be a book of essays on Nashville Restoration history by Dr. Robert Hooper, who is also finishing his biography of David Lipscomb. Dr. Lewis Maiden’s history of Nashville theatre is completed and awaiting publication. Dr. Perry Cotham left the department for a full- time preaching post in McMinnville. Lipscomb’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the honor society in history, hosted guest speakers and took trips of historical interest. Woodrow Wilson Society 124 Faculty . Tim Dance . Karen Nichols .

Alumni’s renovation brought a new lighting system, replete with 99-scene memory console, 32 separate lighting channels, 30 new lights, and a patching board that allows workers to do in four hours what used to take two days. A new sound system and new backstage rigging also came with the new auditorium decor. ies : ‘ain mec - i wi The new arena theatre, which seats 200, is touted as the most flexible theatre in the city: It can also be rearranged for thrust and proscenium staging. The department also acquired new color videotape equipment, primarily for use in debate and in radio-television classes. Faculty 129 130 Faculty Language combined Bible, business for specializations Modern language innovations included two new specializations — each offering a major-minor combination for cross-disciplinary study. Bilingual secretarial studies fused language and office administration. A special missions program borrowed courses from the Bible Department’s missions emphasis to prepare students for work in foreign countries. The department also initiated a new program to give students credit for independent study-travel in foreign- language countries — an expansion of annual credit-bearing tours conducted by Dr. Sara Whitten. Gladys Gooch received a Faculty Fellowship Grant to make an independent study-travel pilgrimage of her own to Spain. Also new this year is Sigma Delta Pi, the honor society for Spanish students. Sara Whitten, Professor and Department Chairman Gladys Gooch, Assistant Professor Charles McVey, Instructor Members of the newly organized honorary Spanish fraternity, Sigma Delta Pi, were Janet Angelopoulos, honorary member; Karen DeHart; Sharla Krampf; Cheryl Lindsey, honorary member; Danny Smith; and Ted Parks, president. New equipment, courses update Art Department Acquisition of new equipment and plans for a European tour topped off the year for the Art Department. Chairman John Hutcheson and Ralph Thurman arranged to conduct a charter group interested primarily in Europe’s art and architecture. And the department acquired a copy camera to aid in line art and photographic reproduction. Plans were drawn for two new darkrooms, one to house the copy camera, the other to give separate facilities to Backlog photographers. Two new series of minicourses were added to the art curriculum, one in ceramics, the other in photography. Hutcheson and Rudy Sanders conducted workshops for art teachers at schools throughout the midstate. Hutcheson also began research and planning for redecorating campus dormitories. John Hutcheson, Associate Professor and Department Chairman Rudy Sanders, Instructor Ralph Thurman, Instructor Faculty 131 Students aid new chairman with plans The Music Department was expanded this year by the addition of a new chairman, Dr. Josiah Darnall from Murray State University. During his administration he sought greater student involvement in curriculum development and community cultural participation. Josiah Darnall, Professor and Department Chairman Frances Hill Crutcher, Professor Gerald Moore, Associate Professor Marion Ca wood, Instructor In support of Darnall’s program, Phi Mu Alpha men’s music fraternity sponsored a concert by Mrs. Jack Evins from Southwestern Christian College.

That meant automatic teaching credentials in 31 states for students who complete the Lipscomb program. The department also planned new courses — including a summer workshop on teaching moral values and a course on mainstreaming, the process in which exceptional children are returned to regular classrooms. Department chairman Dr. Thomas Whitfield served as chairman of the State Teacher Education Advisory Board. The Student Tennessee Education Association elected Lipscomb’s Patti Boyd as its state president. The Lipscomb chapter sponsored guest . lecturers on a variety of education-related subjects.

In an effort to make sociology more than a textbook science, the students were exposed to work on a one-to-one basis with children and troubled adults. The majors were also introduced to thesis-writing and research in preparation for graduate studies.

And he really is a doctor — an M_D., that is. Returning to Lipscomb from medical school at the University of Tennessee, he expressed a preference for teaching over private practice. “Biology is marvelous and fascinating in itself,” he said, “but I find it even more challenging to share that fascination with students.” 144 Faculty Dr. Choate’s addition to the faculty increased the effectiveness of Lipscomb’s pre-med program. Sixty to sixty-five percent of Lipscomb applicants to medical school — a number far exceeding the ratio of acceptances from other colleges and universities — have been accepted.

A different atmosphere _ settled over Alumni Auditorium the ‘summer of 1976 when the sound of chapel _ singing was replaced by rhythmic _ hammering and sawing. The faded red | velvet drapes and squeaky seats were taken away, leaving a cold and empty cavern. While summer school students attended chapel in McFarland Hall and Acuff Chapel, work continued with plans to reopen Alumni at the beginning of fall _ quarter. Problems with getting materials halted construction temporarily, however, _and when school opened, students made the daily trip to chapel across campus to McQuiddy Gymnasium. It took some time to get accustomed to the wide middle aisle, but otherwise the students found that it really didn’t matter where chapel was held. Finally the day came to go back to Alumni. The renovation was finished. The drapes are green now and the seats no longer squeak, but the walls still echo when Vice-president Collins says, “That is all!” Sophomores 159 Michael Charles Johnson Indianapolis, In.

This step prevented a lot of malnutrition in the Lipscomb female — they had often neglected to eat before because they didn’t want to change clothes before going upstairs. Pants next became instrumental in the prevention of frozen limbs. When the sub-freezing winter weather came, girls were permitted to wear pants to classes and chapel also. Excitement over this increased daily because the decision _ carried over to spring quarter, even though cold weather didn’t. What the fashion scene will be for _ Lipscomb next fall is yet to be _ determined. But whatever happens, _ 1976-77 will long be remembered as _ the year of the pants revolution. Timothy B.

The DLC student body had opportunity to hear the band perform at basketball games, Open House, and a spring concert on the steps of Alumni Auditorium. New this year was the meeting time for winter quarter — 5 p.m. instead of the regular 7 a.m. Deasy, who arranged many of the band’s selections himself, took the entourage on tour across the South during the winter break. 32 _ GOoOoeOnNAUN HWY — _ es ADM HWN .

Club members spend countless days and nights painting canvas, nailing flats, gathering props, and sewing costumes.

Tom Morgan | SCJ hosts convention Traditionally, Lipscomb’s Society for Collegiate Journalists chapter holds a publications workshop for high school students from across the state. And so it was for 1976-77, with more than 100 attending the day-long conference. Still, it wasn’t an average year for the SCJ. Led by club president and national executive council member Larry Bumgardner, Lipscomb’s SCJ hosted the organization’s national convention. Approximately 200 college journalists gathered at Lipscomb for the SCJ’s first national meeting since the honorary journalism society was formed by a merger of Pi Delta Epsilon and Alpha Phi Gamma. The chapter also organized an appreciation dinner for Miss Eunice Bradley, club sponsor since its charter in 1964. Former editors of THE BABBLER and Backlog returned to campus to honor Miss Bradley, who retired after 22 years as news bureau director and adviser to THE BABBLER. — Pres.

Becky Sheffield Organizations 201 No Purple Hearts, but two All Americans Forget the traditional Who, What, Where, When, and Why of journalism. The most important question in the BABBLER office for 1976-77 was, ““Who’s in charge here?” More often than not, the answer was Larry Bumgardner, 1975-76 BABBLER editor who found not only that old editors do not die, they also find it awfully hard to fade away. Bumgardner tried to fade from view at the end of the ’76 school year. But he wasn’t as successful as Miss Eunice Bradley, who retired after 22 years as BABBLER adviser. With the paper lacking both an editor and adviser, Bumgardner was found doing some of both jobs after being named technical adviser for fall quarter. For winter quarter, a new old editer was summoned to the front. Dr. Dennis Loyd, associate professor of English and former editor of NASHVILLE! magazine, was named faculty adviser. An editorial board of three students aided Loyd in the battle to get the newspaper out. Bumgardner, apparently bucking for a Purple Heart Award for longevity as BABBLER editor, agreed to return to lead the weary troops during spring quarter. Although the senior political science communications major is still awaiting his Purple Heart, THE BABBLER did win an All American rating — the highest ranking given by the Associated Collegiate Press. It and the All American given to the paper for the preceding judging period were the first for THE BABBLER since 1971.

And the question most asked of the 1977 editor was: “When do we get our Backlogs?”’ As with the previous volume, the 1977 Backlog was published by Josten‘s American Yearbook Company on a fall delivery schedule. This allowed for complete coverage of the school year and leniency with picture schedules. Sales were again conducted at registration, proving this system successful by breaking all former sales records. With only three former staffers returning, much time was spent in introducing yearbook work to the new volunteers and training them. This proved discouraging to most, however, and the staff dwindled to an alarmingly small number for which the book became a never-ending backlog of work. Nevertheless, these few supplied new thematic and layout ideas, while following the basic format of the year before — and attempting to explain why the Backlog isn’t published until the fall.

Working in conjunction with the American Red Cross, Civitans sponsored campus blood drives, this year adding a third full-scale drive — the first ever in winter quarter. Club members continued to collect old newspapers from campus and throughout Nashville to be recycled. Service to “adopted brother” Gerald Bradford, a 16-year- old boy who is confined to a wheelchair, earned the club the Valley District Outstanding Community Project Award. Working with the Civinettes, club members tutored at Tennessee Orphan Home, sang for senior citizens at Knowles Home, and collected for various charitable organizations throughout Middle Tennessee. Club President Larry Bumgardner was named Valley District Collegiate Civitan of the Year. Former club president Jonathan Seamon, a veteran of two terms as International Collegiate Civitan vice-president, moved up to the top office for 1976-77. Organizations 207 Earning the title of best collegiate club in the Valley District for the second consecutive year, Lipscomb’s Civinette Club continued to provide leadership in service at both the chapter and district levels. Club President Karen DeHart also served as Valley District governor; her sister, Linda, was elected to succeed her in that office for 1977-78. Paula Sikes was named the year’s Miss Valley District. Civinette projects reached those of all ages, from young orphans to Nashville’s senior citizens. Club members tutored children at Tennessee Orphan Home and worked with the young residents of Tennessee Preparatory School, Tennessee School for the Blind, and Clover Bottom Developmental Center. Civinettes made frequent visits to Knowles and Lakeshore homes for the aged, and aided Civitans in the blood drive and paper drive projects. For campus service organizations — Civitans, Civinettes, Circle K, and K- ettes — combined efforts to sponsor the Muscular Dystrophy “Duituit Thingathon,” which raised approximately $1500 for the charity. 208 Organizations OMOrnNAAMNHWN KH PHD, Hake 24.

It’s a typical example of open conditioning taught in fae Psychology. Though “room check” to the Lipscomb female means making sure everyone is in at night, to the male iti is the conditioned stimulus for performance. Interval reinforcement induces Lipscomb _ men to perform domestic chores as weekly inspection rolls around. They have the choice: Clean room, positive reinforcement —an “A”; dirty room, token reinforcement — an “F” and one step closer to punishment.

It was a shorter game than usual. Bellarmine College decided not to stay for the end. Miss Colley’s coronation sparked the excitement which is Homecoming. The beauty of reunion with friends and old haunts revisited culminate in the lovely tradition of honoring an ideal. 1) Barry Harrison dribbles the basketball down court to set up a play. 2) The band lends its music to the excitement of Homecoming. 3) The gymnastic team makes it look easy in their traditional exhibition. 4) A Bison team member does repair work on his shoe during a time-out, 5) while Jan Ray practices a cheer. 6) Student Body President Venny Mathews presents Nancy Colley with a gift from fellow students. 7) Team captain Steve Flatt pays his respect to the Queen after presenting a gift from the basketball team. 8) At court with their queen, Nancy Colley, are Jacquelynn Jones, Burt Nowers, Karen DeHart, Mike Corley, Teresa Newlon, Mike Hassell, Debbie Bracey, Will Brewer, Libby Srite, David Shaub, Patsi Wilks, Bucko Walker, Betty Corlew, Steve Mayer, Kay Arlen, Matt Hearn, Beth Halteman, Eddie Trevathan, Darlene Maust, and Dan Mayer.

What was it Douglas MacArthur said about old traditions? That they never die, just have fatal diseases now and then? Something like that. Anyway, once one starts stumbling, recovery comes hard. And some say Lipscomb’s social clubs let one of their oldest traditions take a bad tumble during the winter of °77 — “Homecoming Projects.” Oldsters say the project idea stretches back to the dimly-lit mid- sixties, when other colleges were ... well, you know what they were doing at other colleges. At Lipscomb they started social clubs. And social clubs started Homecoming Projects. And the knee-bone’s connected to the shin-bone. Yes, it took the genius of the Interclub Council to come up with the idea of building floats without a parade to put them in. It took several years before any clubs even started using moving parts. And none of the projects have ever actually moved. But it’s a grand idea. It keeps pledges busy on cold winter nights. And it provides a good excuse for guys’ clubs to get together with girls’ clubs. Surprising they’d need an excuse, but there you are. Well, as we say, the tradition took a tumble. The bad winter (capital W?) is at least partly to blame. Too cold for four different groups to work on four different floats. Particularly when it’s too cold to float anything but bad currency. So all the different groups worked on one big float. Theoretically. In practice it was another story. What that story is ... well, that’s a bit obscure. Seems Homecoming Day they all decided it was far too windy to put it up. No one else seemed to notice any bad wind. But they did notice a lot of lumber. Which was all that was left to notice. Well, most traditions die out at Lipscomb after about ten years. But maybe this disease wasn’t fatal. Maybe the clubs can recover next year. If it’s warmer. And if there’s no wind. Homecoming 235 julie johnson Traditional festival refreshed Altering of tradition seemed to be standard for this year’s Homecoming celebration. Student writers Brad Forrister, Larry Bumgardner, and Dirk Forrister transformed the normally stately Festival of Hearts program into an evening of mirth. Host and hostess Jonathan Seamon and Phyllis Dillingham kept a running commentary on campus events to bring visiting alumni up to date. Spots of pantomime and comic routine by the Interlude Players (Cathy Brown, Jennifer Eaves, Nelson Eddy, Brad Forrister, Dirk Forrister, Arthur McBride, Chuck Parker, and Dale Perry) and music by Julie Conyer, Cindy Harless, Tony Phipps, Randall Jennings, and Lisa Reynolds paced the show. Dean Mack Wayne Craig’s question-and-answer period and the fashion reviews acquainted the audience with the 12 girls from which six Campus Beauties were chosen. Perhaps old traditions never die, just go through rejuvenation processes now and then. Festival of Hearts finalists parade for the audience. kay hill aa debbie freeman Festival Of Hearts 237 == = 2 a So 52 a = e .2 =s a bs ee Y) = : QA, BQ = Oo g 240 ies Beaut 2 a Me af et gee 4 rhs ete Secs ae ee Students choose campus ideals Long ago someone initiated the tradition of selecting campus ideals. The idea was to choose individuals outstanding in leadership, academic ability, and character. Thus it is that each year the students pick a young man and woman — Bachelor of Ugliness and Miss Lipscomb — to symbolize the standards of David Lipscomb College. From Huntingdon, Tn., Betty Corlew became well-known on campus because of her spirited involvement. Whether she was leading cheers at a basketball game, planning outings as chairman of K-ette Blaire House and Lakeshore committees, or preparing for a teaching major in English, her concern for people was evident. She was no stranger to leadership after holding offices in Sigma Tau Delta, the English club, and STEA; neither was responsibility foreign to her while she served as copy editor for THE BABBLER. All this and her graceful manner characterized the former campus beauty, Betty Corlew — Miss Lipscomb, 1977. Likewise no stranger to the Lipscomb lime-light was Nashville’s Steve Flatt. Known as a prize- winning after-dinner speaker, he charmed his way into the hearts of the students and they elected him student body president for 1976. A two-time Steve Flatt. Bachelor of Ugliness Betty Corlew Miss Lipscomb 244 Honors captain of the Bison basketball team, he strove for excellance in his math major as well as on the court and achieved it by being named co-valedictorian of his graduating class and winning Most Valuable Player awards. No wonder this personable young man was named Bachelor of Ugliness, 1977.

How many Cokes Kay Arlen downed while captaining the cheerleading squad in her fourth year as a member — or directing choreography in numerous drama productions — is hard to tell. But it isn’t hard to tell of the leadership capabilities displayed by the Allentown, Pa., native in her position as president of Delta Sigma social club, member of the Interclub Council and Student Affairs Committee. Kay majored in elementary education, furthering this interest with membership in the Student Tennessee Education Assocition. Sheri Bailey Whether shouting headlines or calling signals, Sheri Bailey was often heard on campus. Lipscomb’s newspapergirl became a prominent figure in social club activities as secretary of the Interclub Council, president of Kappa Chi social club, and participant in the intramural football program. Social activities were not her only interests, however, as the elementary education major from Indanapolis, In., proved through her work with STEA, Good News, and K-ettes. ina Lois Ann Barker “Hi! I'm Lois Ann Barker from Savannah, Tennessee . and I'm running for student body secretary!”’ Perhaps it was the eloquence of the speech education major’s introduction; or maybe it it was just her big friendly smile that made Lois Ann the winner in the race for the summer fall term of 1976. Or possibly it was her previous involvement as chaplain of Civinettes and member of Kappa Chi social club, Good News, and STEA that brought the new honor and opportunity to 248 Who’s Who work with Interclub and Inter-Service Club Councils. Or could it have been the red hair? WHO’S WHO Steve Bates Intramural sports activities occupied much of Pi Epsilon member Steve Bates’ time. Not so much time, however, that the Lithopolis, Oh., physical education major neglected another great interest, the Good News Club. The Sewell Hall resident assistant was a member of Good News Singers and Beta Sigma while serving as chairman of Project Good News, a group particularly interested in campaign work. He also served terms as president and secretary of Sigma Iota Delta social club, was a member of the Interclub Council and an Honor Roll student. Will Brewer Practice makes perfect: Words to live by in the opinion of Will Brewer, 1976 NAIA golf champion. The two-time NAIA golf All-American captained Lipscomb’s team two of his four years as a member and was voted Most Valuable Player three of those years. The Delta Nu social club member was a health and physical education major from Sparta, Tn. Who’s Who 249 Sherrie Brown Anyone with a major in home economics and a minor in political science communications has got to have diversified interests. Enter Sherrie Brown. Her extracurricular interests mirrored her academic ones as demonstrated by her work on THE BABBLER as feature editor, post of treasurer of the Society for Collegiate Journalists, and membership in Delt a Theta Pi home economics club. Add to that work with the Good News service organization as secretary, singing in Chorale, and position as junior class secretary and it’s easy to see that the Waynesboro, Tn., honor student’s ultimate interest was people. WwHo’s WHO Larry Bumgardner Calling it “political science communications” didn’t fool anyone: Larry Bumgardner was a journalism major. Holding a series of BABBLER staff posts including six quarters as its editor, Bumgardner led the newspaper to two Associated Collegiate Press All- American rankings — the first since 1971. He also wrote for the Backlog and edited copy part- time for the NASHVILLE BANNER. As a member of the National Executive Council of the Society for Collegiate Journalists and the DLC chapter’s president, he brought the organization to Lipscomb for its 1977 national convention. The August class salutatorian was also Civitan Club president, winner of the 1976 Founder’s Day Oratorical contest, and a member of the academic “College Bowl’ team, Inter-Service Club Council, Woodrow Wilson Society, and Omega Nu social club. 250 Who’s Who Betty Corlew Leading the student body seemed to be what Betty Corlew did best; whether it was in cheers, poise and grace, or academically. An Honor Roll student from Huntingdon, Tn., she was a campus beauty in 1976 and Miss Lipscomb 1977. A K-ette member and copy editor for THE BABBLER, the English major was also a member of Sigma Tau Delta English fraternity and the Society for Collegiate Journalists. 3 2 ¢ 7, Mike Corley Contrary to popular opinion, the library was not Mike Corley’s home. He could often be found there, but June’s co-valedictorian devoted much of his time to athletics as a member of the badminton team and several intramural teams. A member of Circle K service c lub and Woodrow Wilson Society, the government and public administration major from Alexandria, Tn., served as president and vice-president, respectively, of his junior and senior classes. Cory Collins Think of Cory Collins and you think of good news ... the Good News Christian service organization, that is. As its president, the Nashville Bible major led in revamping the structure of Good News, as well as holding positions as secretary of Alpha Tau social club and resident assistant in High Rise. The June class co-salutatorian was also a member of Chorale. Who’s Who 251 WHO°’SsS WH 4 LES Karen Smith Costello Festival of Hearts finalist Karen Smith Costello proved occasional inclinations toward being a tomboy by lending her abilities to the Delta Sigma social club powderpuff football, basketball, and softball teams. The English major showed further interest in athletics as a sportswriter for THE BABBLER. An honor student from Nashville, she was also a member of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Club, Society for Collegiate Journalists, and STEA. Karen DeHart Just call her International Collegiate Civinette of the Year ... or Miss Valley District ... or Miss Collegiate Civitan International. These were some of Karen DeHart’s honors — along with district governor and two-term president of Lipscomb’s Civinette service club. A 1976 Festival of Hearts finalist, the Radford, Va., Spanish education major was a member of the 1975 and 1977 Homecoming courts. A former BABBLER copy editor, she was secretary of her junior class and a resident assistant in Johnson Hall. 252 Who’s Who Jennifer Eaves As the fabled Pied Piper lured children from their village, Jennifer Eaves led the Pied Pipers, Co. IV. Under her direction, the group easily enticed smiles and happiness from their young audiences. Named “Best Actress” of 1976, the Chattanooga, Tn., native combined her art major and drama talent to create sets for several Lipscomb productions, including Festival of Hearts and Singarama. The former Backlog staff member was a member of the Society for Collegiate Journalists and English Club. Steve Flatt Leadership was not an unknown quality to Steve Flatt. Captain two of his four years on the basketball squad, he stepped into the post of student body president for the winter spring term of 1976 with ease after serving as vice-president and president, respectively, of his freshman and sophomore classes. The Nashville math major, a candidate for a Rhodes scholarship, was co-valedictorian of the June graduating class, as well as co-recipient of the Goodpasture Bible. He received Most Valuable Player and Sportsmanship Awards for athletic performance and national honors in Pi Kappa Delta speech fraternity’s tournament during his college career. David Elrod How do physics and missionary work in Italy go together? Ask David Elrod and he can tell you that they are both sciences. The physics major and president of the Society of Physics Students served as youth minister for a local church. The Centerville, Tn., resident also worked with the Project Italy section of the Good News Club. Who’s Who 253 Kristine Gates Kristine Gates discovered that being a resident assistant is a good way to gain experience in communications. A speech- communications major from Cuyahoga Falls, Oh., she found many ways to practice her major as secretary of Pi Kappa Delta speech fraternity, member of the debate team, and participant in several drama productions. The honor student was also a member of Footlighters, Good News, and vice-president of Sigma Phi social club. Randy Goodman Even if he turns his political science major into a lifetime career, Randy Goodman will always be known as a drummer. The talented percussionist from Bowling Green, Ky., gained fame with his many performances in the DLC band, jazz ensemble, Singarama, and with a group called Avian. A pair of drumsticks and a subject for impersonation — Dr. Ellis, most frequently — were all that he needed to put on quite an act. 254 Who’s Who Tom Haralson Tom Haralson’s interest in politics is more than an avocation. Winner of the 1974 Founder’s Day Oratorical Contest, he has served on Tennessee Gov. Ray Blanton’s state advisory staff, as well as chairing the Wilson County advisory committee. A former Chorale and Omega Nu social club member from Lebanon, Tn., he served as executive president of Tennessee’s Young Democrats. It seems likely that the speech major may still be serving something as an old Democrat. Mike Hassell Even though it was hard to see Mike Hassell in a crowd, the personable Nashvillian always made his energetic presence known. Student body president during the summer fall term of 1976, he participated in the intramural sports program, and was a member of the Athletic Committee and Interclub Council. A former gymnast, the biology major was a member of Tau Phi social club and Circle K service club. Joy Henley Although she spent hours in the lab studying for her biology major and chemistry minor, Joy Henley could be found just as often in the art department at her easel or practicing with the band. The Psi Alpha social club president from Decherd, Tn., furthered her studies by holding membership in the American Institute of Biological Sciences and American Chemical Society, but probably preferred holding a paintbrush and palate. Who’s Who 255 Arnold Huyghebaert Having Lipscomb’s hardest-to-pronounce last name isn’t the only reason Arnold Huyghebaert was well-known on campus. Recipient of the Goodpasture Bible and Prather Greek medal, the Roeselare Belgium resident was recognized for putting his Bible major into action by working with Good News and assisting with missionary campaigns. The Phi Mu Alpha member used his agile fingers to make a name for himself as guitarist with the Chorale, Early Music Consort, and the 1976 drama production Taming of the Shrew. His talent also captured prizes in the 1973 and 1975 talent shows, and gave him a famous name: Arnold ... uh, you know ... the guitar player. WHO’S WHO Earl Lavender Earl Lavender takes the commandment to walk the second mile seriously. In fact, he'll run the second mile, if need be. Cross- country and track team member Lavender put his teaching major into action as he traveled to Italy to spread the word of Christ with | tag ene Ot TH Project Italy team members. While | oh, aS 2 serving as Lipscomb’s Project Italy EREE Y , chairman, the honor student from ; tig, YY, Columbus, Oh., furthered his interest in physical education by participating in the intramural sports program. 256 Who’s Who Bill Lokey “Say cheese!’ — Bill Lokey’s favorite words. His favorite game: Taking pictures. The 1975 Backlog staff photographer, now turned professional, was always quick on the shutter when it came to recording activities while serving as president of A Cappella and of his Sigma Chi Delta social club brothers. The Nashvillian’s other favorite things were his Bible major and working as a youth minister. Arthur McBride His friends called him Art — and his major was art; but that’s not why they called him that. Nashville native Arthur McBride’s amicable manner was always apparent whether he tutored at the Youth Hobby Shop, taught Bible classes at Camp Shiloh, presided over Omega Nu’s Bison Day or Singarama social club projects, or participated in Lipscomb drama. Perhaps that’s how he captured the coveted title of “Best Actor” for his role as King Arthur in the 1977 production Camelot — and maybe that’s what made Arthur king among his fellow students. Debbie Muller Directing traffic or even being on a committee concerned with traffic was an odd occupation for honor student Debbie Muller. There the oddity ended, however, as the speech education major and STEA member from Bowie, Md., participated in football, volleyball, and softball intramurals. The former Psi Alpha social club president was als o a member of Civinettes. Who’s Who 257 258 Who’s Who Garth Pinkston School records fell like timbers before the flying feet of Garth Pinkston. The cross-country and track star broke records in the mile relay, 4-mile relay, 1,000-yard run, and sprint medley relay. A health and physical education major, he was also president of Pi Epsilon, and a member of Project Good News and Student Tennessee Education Association. Dee Reynolds Dee Reynolds spent much of her college career involved in one way or another with music. Student director of Chorale for two years, the music education major from Wilmington, De., was also a member of Early Music Consort and served as president of the band. A former president of Music Educators’ National Conference and vice-president of Sigma Alpha Iota, she held membership in STEA, Good News, and Psi Alpa social club. WHO°’Ss WHO Lisa Reynolds It was all but impossible to keep still when Lisa Reynolds tickled that old ivory keyboard. Perhaps that’s why she had so much trouble convincing everyone that her major was vocal music education. But once she sang, it was easy to understand how she captured the position of section leader with Chorale and the “Best Supporting Actress” award for her part in the 1975 drama production Carousel. A former member of Early Music Consort and Footlighters, she was corresponding secretary for Sigma Alpha Iota. While serving as president of Lipscomb’s chapter of MENC, the Lebanon, Tn., resident was selected state recording secretary for the group. Her ready wit and lively personality aided her during terms as Fanning Hall resident assistant and public relations coordinator for the 1977 Backlog. David Shaub Sports and singing were David Shaub’s favorite hobbies while at Lipscomb. For three years a member of the All-Sports trophy-winning team in the intramural program, he was a member of A Cappella and Chamber Singers. Good News and Delta Nu social club were other extracurricular activities of the Brentwood, Tn., math major. Geoffrey Sikes Go for blood: That was the motto of Lipscomb’s Civitan chapter two-year vice-president Geoffrey Sikes. Also Civitan Valley District treasurer, Sikes was named International Collegiate Civitan of the year for 1976 and always made special campus appearances during the group’s blood drive activities. At other times the Birmingham, Al., native appeared with the Chorale, serving two years as its president, Early Music Consort, and Tau Phi social club. Who’s Who 259 260 Who’s Who Phil Stinson Trivia question: What was Lipscomb shortstop Phil Stinson’s major? Not many people realized that the Nashvillian was an accounting major; however, almost everyone knew of the Honor Roll student’s hitting and fielding abilities. Two-time captain of the Lipscomb baseball team, he led the Bisons to the 1977 NAIA World Series Championship after capturing an All- American ranking for himself in 1976. “Ra tae et Lisa Hanvey Stinson “True beauty is more than skin deep” — Miss Lipscomb 1976, Lisa Hanvey Stinson, proved that old adage. The former campus beauty and two-time Homecoming attendant was every bit as enthusiastic about her elementary education major as she was when leading cheers at a basketball game. An Honor Roll student from Nashville, she was a member of Delta Sigma social club and STEA. WHO’S WHO Patsi Wilks Winner of the 1976 women’s tennis Sportsmanship Award, Patsi Wilkes demonstrated that she was indeed a sportswoman. During her four years on the sate ; oe SS tennis team, the health and physical eS : ae education major from Decatur, Al., also es : : . participated in the intramural volleyball, basketball, and softball programs and was named to the intramural All-Star team in 1976. A member of the cheerleading squad for two years, the Honor Roll student served terms as secretary and treasurer of Pi Epsilon physical education club. Sid Verble Sid Verble indicated that he was equally at home with a president’s gavel in his hand as with the paraphernalia of his biochemistry major. He was honored as “First Place Outstanding President” of the Kentucky-Tennessee district of Circle K for his work as 1975-76 Lipscomb Circle K presidenf He was also selected as an adviser on leadership and membership development for the international organization. A member of the American Chemical Society and Inter-Service Club Council, the Clinton, Tn., native also edited the Circle K district magazine.

Ornithologists recognize season changes _ by noting the migratory habits of birds. _ Observers on Lipscomb campus use - gi milar methods for determining the change of season — or at least the coming of warm weather. However, the - migration that they witness is not that of _ birds flying north. It is, rather, that of bathers going up ... up to the roof to soak up rays of sunlight. _ As with our feathered friends, the move begins slowly; only a few will brave the ‘still chilly winds and dare another wintry spell to set in. But soon they go in flocks to stretch and sun themselves. At this sign the observer can say that warm weather is here to stay. And when all subjects are a golden brown, one may be sure that the vernal equinox has been reached.

Here I must follow tradition and do two things: Comment on the book and say thank you. Once, after her first extended trip from home, my sister exclaimed, “This has been the longest-shortest week of my life!” This has been the longest-shortest year (or rather, sixteen months) of my life. It is such a relief to be finished, but I’m a little bit sad too. The many long days and longer nights and headaches were each valuable parts of an education that does not come in a classroom. My purpose in this book was to capture the experience of four years of life at Lipscomb — the major occurances and personal happenings. The fall delivery schedule was retained — it’s nice to be able to include things that happen in the spring (like national baseball championships) and this schedule is much easier for the editor (if anything about editing a yearbook can be easy). And we continued the new system for purchasing the yearbook; it still has a few bugs, but they'll soon be worked out. The fold-out is something new for the Backlog, I think, but we had to be a bit adventurous. Now, how do I say thank you? I guess I must start with my family — it was at their insistance that I accepted this challenging job — and special friends who have kept me sane through it all. I must somehow show my appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Hutcheson for their guidance, understanding, and sympathy and my teachers who looked the other way and forgave me for falling asleep every day in class. And then there’s Rudy Sanders with his wo rds of photographic wisdom and Ralph Thurman with his beautiful art work and Harold McGehee, our Josten’s AYC representative, with his patience and answers to my hundreds of questions. Staff members were scarce, but there were a faithful few to whom credit is due: Randy Bouldin and Bill Williams, who worked undaunted on layouts; Kathy Waters, the best odd- job girl around; and Juanita and Charlene Southard, both hard-workers and experienced in hectic summer production. Much appreciation goes to Larry Bumgardner and his style book and red pen (even though we had some discussions about their use) and Dirk Forrister who always came through in a pinch despite many other demands on his time. Lisa Reynolds took care of many frustrating details and nursed me through more than one illness. And then there’s Brad Forrister, my Mentor and — his favorite appellation — Guiding Muse. What could I say of him other than what he said of James McClung: Any expression of gratitude could only be an insult. I have come to the end of my book — and to the end of a marvelous experience. This book is part of me ... perhaps the reader will find himself here, too. I’m happy we could share this year.
