THE TARTAN 1985 MACMURRAY COLLEGE JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS 62650 Volume XXV HIGHLANDERS Mike Cerutti was a member of the Holy Fools, a campus group unmistakable in a crowd, middle eft. Fear struck the audience at the first open stage as Jeff Davidsmeyer displayed his emcee abili- ties, middle right. Beautiful autumn days were enjoyed by stu- dents all over campus, left. The Return of Mac! Mac was back! Mac ' s return was evident in the new faces around, in the bookstore lines and in the gen- eral hustle and bustle that makes campus life what it is. After an ex- tended summer break Mac hurried- ly moved into the dorm and sought out friends from the year before, meeting new friends in the process. Then the time came for Mac to ven- ture to McClelland for dietary bar- gain purchases with food stamps. With registration completed and all books bought, Mac quickly fell into the routine of class schedules, orga- nizational meetings and weekend get-togethers. To any ordinary college student this would have epitomized the or- dinary school year, but Mac soon realized that changes had been made. For one thing, more fresh- man guys were on campus — to play football! Mac watched as the first-ever football team rallied to an incredible undefeated season. But (continued on page 4) Opening 3 A Year of Changes! Mac soon noticed other changes. Mac finally had a Dean of Students, along with new Campus Center and Student Activities Directors and three new Resident Directors. The campus took on an air of efficency and professionalism. This atmo- sphere soon influenced Mac in Ideas in Perspective 201, the new Core class. With response papers and reading assignments due each week, Mac quickly learned time management skills. After all, with the new shortened semesters, ev- ery minute had to be used as wisely as possible. Yet the fewer weeks on campus did not stop Mac from be- coming involved in almost every- thing, from the special programs sponsored by House Councils to the brand new Renaissance Fund aimed at providing the college with a bright financial future. Yet there were other new things to try this year, like the premier of the Home- coming Parade! With student floats, marching bands and community en- tries, the parade was the best first- year parade possible. The Campus Center made many students, in- cluding Lori Terando, fee! right at home, top. Friendships quickly flourished after the fresh- man arrived for student orientation, middle left.

Homecoming The Spirit Starts MacMurray ' s 1984 Homecoming weekend, held October 26-28, began early in the week and progressed on into the weekend. The week was filled with the spirit and activities of the event. Mac students were busy with preparations and plans, dinners and bands, and of course, the election of the court. The actual weekend was very busy, with the choir ' s perfor- mance at Entertainment XI, Open Stage, Nurses ' Capping, the Home- coming Dance, the parade, the soccer game, the football game . . . Homecoming 9 The Spirit Builds The 1984 Homecom ing was a first on two counts. It produced both the first Mac Homecoming football game and the first Mac Homecoming pa- rade. The parade was well received by students, alumni, faculty, administra- tion, and townspeople. In fact, several organizations from the Jacksonville area participated in the parade. Many turned out to enjoy the many activities, and to enjoy the day. A Jacksonville area Brownie troop was repre- sented in the parade, top left. Grand Marshall of the Homecoming parade was alumna Grace Fitch, top right. The elected junior attendants were Bruce Logsdon and Shelly Arseneau, bottom left.

For complete details consult Chapter One! All was quiet on campus the day Percy McTartan, P.I, made his initial appearance at MacMurray College. Following him was his loyal assistant S.Q. Id, Jr. P.I., who stumbled up the stairs of Kathryn Hall behind his boss. What office are we looking for? inquired the impeccably dressed McTartan to his fledgling assistant. it ' s, ummm, the President ' s Office, sir, second floor of Kathryn Hall up the spiral stairs and to the left. They walked up the stairs, turned left, and paused before the door. A receptionist greeted them with a huge smile as they both stepped in, Hello and good morning. My name is Jeanne Jumps. 1 am President Stephens ' s secretary. How may I hlep you today? My name is Percy McTartan, P.I., he said, flashing a wide smile at the secretary and extending his tanned hand to her. I am here at the President ' s request. I ' m pleased to meet you, Mr. McTartan, replied Mrs. Jumps. This is my assistant, S.Q. Id. He is here to help me solve this quaint little problem that your President has deemed, uh, urgent. Well, I ' ll just inform the president that you are here. said Mrs. Jumps as she picked up the receiver. B.C.? A Percy McTartan is here to see you. Send him in? He ' s on his way. She put down the receiver and ushered McTartan and Id through the interoffice door. Good morning and welcome to MacMurray College, drawled President B.C. Stephens to his two visitors. Ah trust you had a good trip. Thank you. It was fine, replied Percy McTartan. Then in his most businesslike tone, Why don ' t we get down to business, Dr. Stephens. Whay, sure, Mr. McTartan. Anything you say. Now in your letter you make some mention of a missing monster. Perhaps you can tell me what exactly this monster is and what seems to have happened to it. Well, said B.C., settling down and beginning the tale, the Michalson Monster is sort of a legend concerning a creature who looks after the dorms down campus, cspecieJly Michalson where he lives. He lives in the dorm? interjected McTartan with a disbelieving look. Oh, no, Mr. McTartan. He lives on top of the dorm. Well, the story is long, so I ' ll let the students explain it to you. The problem is that he has disappeared and we have reason to believe he was kidnapped. He was well loved and respected around here, so he wouldn ' t have just wandered off. Besides, he ' s been here since this was a woman ' s college. Yes, he likes it here. So, that ' s why we think that maybe someone kidnapped him, concluded President Stephens. Why don ' t you explain how he came to be missing, said McTartan as he withdrew a little black notebook from the breast pocket of his jacket. Well, he was in the Homecoming Parade on Homecoming Weekend. In fact, he won first prize in the float category. After the parade, he watched the soccer game and then went back down campus. The last time anyone saw him he was sitting next to Michalson, and then he was gone. No one saw him leave or being abducted? inquired McTartan. Not that Ah know of. But we do have one clue. The police found a solitary fingerprint, but so far they ' ve been unable to distinguish it from those of the students. That ' s why we called you in to help us solve this problem. The students are really upset about his disappearance, replied the President. Very well. Percy McTartan snapped shut his notebook and put it back in his pocket. 1 shall begin my inquiries immediately. Come along, S.Q. Id. We have work to do. Good day. President Stephens. {continued in Chapter Two) ACTIVITIES Traditions Continue In 1928 the Green Ribbon tradition began as a sign of the freshman women being newcomers to the school. A green ribbon was tied around each girl ' s neck and was worn until Thanksgiving. One year, in a sign of defiance, the freshmen burned their ribbons. Since that time the burning has continued as a way to officially welcome the freshmen into the ranks of MacMurray women. In the contemporary form each freshman is given a Big Sister from among the upperclasswomen who ties on the ribbon at the opening ceremony. Dr. HoIIiday Milby, MacMurray alumna, addressed this year ' s ceremony and commented on the difficulties each person faces when new to a situation, such as the freshmen are to MacMurray — the difficulties of being green. Later in the week, after five days, the ribbons are burned in a ceremony on Rutledge lawn. The freshmen are now officially women of MacMurray College. Beth Jackson ties the green ribbon on her little sister, Chris Rempei, above. Lisa Thoennes, senior coordinator for the Green Ribbon ceremony, greets the freshmen with an introduction to the tradition, right. 18 Green Ribbon MacMurray Looks at the Future Held in conjunction with Homecoming and Parent ' s Weekend, the annual Nurses ' Capping ceremony was held on Friday, October 26, 1984, at 7:00 p.m. in Annie Merner Chapel. The traditional capping ceremony is a symbolic marking of each nursing student ' s formal entry into MacMurray College ' s nursing program. Each student completes the preliminary phase of nursing education and now is ready to begin the final two years, which include participation in clinical studies at locations in and around Jacksonville and Springfield. The guest speaker was Larry Deal, who noted the need for Perseverance in the health professions. Dr. Holliday Milby, guest speaker for the Green Ribbon ceremony, delivers a thought- provoking speech, top. Three of the recently capped nursing students look down the aisle and into their futures as nurses, middle.

Workshops Feature Student Talent The Senior Workshop Plays were performed on the evenings of October 13 and 14, 1984. Under the direction of two capable young women, both extremely active in past MacMurray theatrical endeavors, the two plays featured MacMurray students, several of whom have no previous acting experience. The results, however, were very much experienced as each performance played to a full audience both nights. Lisa Keeton, a junior theatre arts English major, directed the sometimes comedic, sometimes satiric Vanities. Following the high school, college, and adult lives of three close friends, Vanities brings to light how little people really know about each other, as the play ' s characters are forced to examine their relationships to the group and to themselves. On a much lighter note followed Absurd Person Singular under the direction of Pamela Heine, a senior majoring in psychology. An English comedy by nature, Absurd Person Singular tickled the audiences ' funnybone as an unconcerned husband suddenly saves his sick wife from several close encounters with suicide. Oblivious to the other houseguests as they help her around the house, they accidentally save her from several more attempts. Eventually everyone sits around the kitchen table and sings Christmas carols — a perfectly absurd ending. 20 Workshop Plays Nineteen sixty-three was not the best of years for Joanne, Kathy, or Mary, top.

Participants could compete either by themselves or in groups, with judging consisting of originality, appearance, talent, and audience response. This year the Jacksons, including Carol Beal, Candy Beal, Pinky Murdock, and Kathy Bailey, walked away with the first place prize of $35. Candy Beal received $25 for her solo.

The group performs for audiences at a number of different activities. The Holy Fools give many services both on campus and at selected churches around town. They travel on fall and spring tours carrying their clown ministry to nursing homes and youth groups. During Homecoming Weekend the Fools hold their annual Homecoming Chapel service, where themes of God ' s love are brought to each person who attends. Time is also spent on the road as the Fools visit different stores and public places around Jacksonville for a day of just fooling around. Each church makes the Fools feel at home wherever they travel, top. Annette Ward and Kathy King put in their share of the clowning, middle. The Fools derive pleasure from making the audiences happy with their antics, bottom. — Cast — in order of appearance Wilson, American J.T.

You get another smash comedy from the recent association of the MacMurray College Theatre Department and the Jacksonville Community Theatre Guild. The Front Page, a play concerning the denizens of the Cook County Criminal Courts Building during the Roaring ' 20 ' s, was the fall production of the joint effort between the two theatrical organizations, featuring both MacMurray students and faculty, and community residents. Production dates were November 9-11 and 14-17, 1984. The Front Page was designed and directed by Eugene Laurent, professor English theatre arts at MacMurray. The play, written in 1928, describes the adventures of one dashing young journalist who finds himself torn between his beautiful young sweetheart and the possibility for the biggest scoop of the century. Unfortunately a meddling sherriff, driven by the fear of the ensuing election, and an overbearing editor force the reporter to conceal the fact that he himself is hiding the convict. Add to that a frantic lady of the evening and a suspicious city mayor and the result is a rollicking romp through the justice system of a major metropolis. Front Page 25 Volleyball Marathon Is a Blast Service, one of the three major goals of Alpha Phi Omega, is the emphasis of the annual APO Volleyball Marathon. Held this year on December 3, 1984, the marathon brings together many people from all over the campus and community. Money raised by the participants in the form of pledges is given to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Various groups from MacMurray and several community organizations met for a Sunday afternoon of competitive volleyball, strategic beat- the-clock games, and fun in general.

Row: Robert Seufert (Master of Ceremonies), Christmas Traditions As a festive yuletide spirit fills the air, MacMurray College observes one of its finest traditions — the Madrigal dinners. The MacMurray Madrigal Singers perform to appreciative audiences of MacMurray students, faculty and staff, and community supporters. Clothed in Medieval costumes, the singers welcome their guests in song to the seasonally-decorated McClelland Dining Hall, after which the English dinner is served consisting of prime rib, scones, and plum pudding. An introduction to the dinner and narration for the evening was provided this year by Master of Ceremonies Dr. Robert Seufert. Musical variety highlights each evening and includes familar Christmas carols along with favorite old English tunes. Trumpeters Mike Withrow and Mark Hanson herald the presentation of the boar ' s head, above. The Madrigal Singers also include several freshman this year, two of which are Thad Pendelton and Lisa Templeton, middle left.

Madrigal singers Mark Devor and Brenda Wolfley bow to the audience in appreciation for their evening ' s patronage, above right. From one of the most popular novels and movies of the last decade and from the prize winning PBS television series comes The Paper Chase, another play presented by the Jacksonville Theatre Guild in cooperation with MacMurray College. This very human play focuses on the challenges, tensions, fears, and joys of a group of graduate students. The play, set in the Harvard School of Law, features a cast composed primarily of MacMurray students, thus adding great realism to each character as they mirror moments, or incidents, experienced by almost all those involved in higher education. Success, as well as failure, is experienced by all the students as they face the incredibly challenging contract law course presented by the indomitable Professor Kingsfield. The Paper Chase was performed on the evenings of April 12-14 and 18- 20, 1985. Hart assures Susan that he will only come over for breakfast, top left.

Off and on during the first two weeks of March, as many as eighty volunteers from Mac answered the call and traveled to Meredosia to fill sandbags and build emergency levees. Waters from the swollen Sangamon River spilled over levees northeast of Beardstown and flooded 16,000 acres of land. Many Meredosia and Beardstown residents were evacuated.

Mac ' s Fifth Avenue, Come Alive in ' 85 was the theme of Mac ' s annual Black Student Union Fashion show, held on Saturday, April 20, 1985. The models for the fashion show included coordinator Carol Beal, Patrice Murdock, Melvin Lindsey, Maggie Castaneda, Vidal Amador, Enrique Guzman, Kim Erby, Cynthia Douglas, Michelle Manion, and Nestor Estrada. The fashions for the show were provided by Klines, Maurices, and Spurgeons, as well as from the students ' personal wardrobes. Leslie Beal served as commentator for the evening. She, along with Patrice Murdock and Dr. Richard Palmer, the faculty advisor for the BSU, also provided musical entertainment for the show. All proceeds from the fashion show go to the Black Student Union Scholarship Fund. This scholarship was established in 1983 and is given to a black freshman at MacMurray based on his or her academic achievement and need. Close Ties Director ' s Note: In thinking about what should be written here, I realized that I intended to clarify the ineffable. 1 wanted to remind you of a phrase which could best honor Gene Laurent — one of the best people I ' ve ever known. I searched some poetry and some dog-eared prose and found nothing that said what is true: that he was, particularly, a vital, brilliant, terse, enabling, intensive, enchanting man of sterling wit and acute sensitivity — and then some, to whom pretense meant little and justness meant much. That he had to leave early is some kind of crime. He was a mentor, and, essentially, a friend. This production is dedicated to him.

Id, your first move is to find a nice hotel and register us. While you do that, I ' ll begin a study of this campus. Half an hour later, his initial tour of the campus completed, McTartan was approached by President Stephens. Excuse me, Mr. McTartan, he said a little excitedly, we ' ve gotten a ransom note for the monster! A ransom note? Yes, yes. It ' s in the Physical Education office. 1 think you ' d better have a look at it right away. It was sent to us all scrunched up in a double-billed hat, like Sherlock Holmes wore. Hmmm, that ' s very interesting and perhaps quite significant. Let ' s go, McTartan commanded. B.G. Stephens led the way to the P.E. Department, his hurried steps and flushed countenance belying his excitement. McTartan strolled along beside the President listening to his excited chatter. This sure is new to our campus , . imagine a kidnapping and a ransom note! The students are sure excited about it too ah, here we are, he concluded as they reached the department. This is Dr. Boh Gay, the head of the department, he said as they made their way down the hall and into the office. It is a pleasure to meet you, smiled Percy McTartan with his usual charm. The pleasure is mine, replied Dr. Gay. Quick, show him the note, cut in B.G. Stephens. • The note was handed to McTartan, and he sat down to read: WE HAVE YOUR MONSTER. IF YOU WISH TO SEE HIM ALIVE AGAIN. YOU WILL FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL BE SENT TOMORROW. HAVE A NICE DAY. I.e. I.e. . I.e. hmmm . . , pondered McTartan. Is there anything significant about those two letters, gentlemen? he addressed Dr. Gay and President Stephens. Well, the ' other ' college in town is Illinois College — I.C. for short, the President spoke first. We do have a substantial sports rivalry with I.C, added Dr. Gay. And we ' ve been beating them more recently, especially in men ' s basketball, but I don ' t think they ' d kidnap our monster. McTartan withdrew his notebook from the breast pocket of his jacket and began making notations. Are there any individuals on campus who would kidnap the monster — any hostile students, faculty, or administrators? queried McTartan. Dr. Gay and G.B. Stephens exchanged glances before the President spoke. Well , . there is the sophomore class. A whole class? Yes, I think it ' s the CORE program that we instituted this year with their class being the first to ' enjoy ' it. They haven ' t been happy about it. But we ' ve ironed out many of the problems, President Stephens added hastily. Do you think they are capable of pulling off such a stunt? questioned McTartan, still making notations. I don ' t think so. This has gone far beyond revenge. 1 agree, replied McTartan, replacing his notebook and standing up. i must be leaving, gentlemen. You ' ve given me a good deal to work on. I will take the hat with me in case someone is able to identify it. I will be in touch with you tomorrow, Dr. Stephens, as we await the next note from this mysterious ' I.C If you need me, I will be at my hotel. Until tomorrow, gentlemen. He strode out of the office and went in seach of Id. (continued in Chapter Three) ATHLETICS The Mac Attack in eight contests recorded an incredible undefeated season for the first-ever MacMurray football squad. In an outstanding inaugural campaign, the almost exclusive freshman team proved its worth by amassing an impressive 235 points over the course of the season to a paltry 85 for our experienced opponents. It will be some time before the fans of the Fighting Highlanders stop talking about the first season of football at MacMurray College. It was one of the most impressive debuts for any collegiate sports team, and the new MacMurray squad deserves the attention it has received by posting an 8-0 record against junior varsity teams from such schools as Augustana, Rose- Hulman, Illinois Wesleyan, and Washington University. At the helm of the 1984 Highlanders was head coach Robin Cooper, a veteran director of several successful high school squads. As defensive coordinator, assistant coach Gene Felchner offered the Highlander ' s hard- hitting defense as one of the key elements to the successful season. Mac ' s explosive offense was due in part to assistant coach Don Timm, a sports professional of long standing. From the start, head coach Robin Cooper and his Highlanders made it clear that simply being competitive is not enough. They gave notice to that effect with a convincing 32-13 win at Illinois Wesleyan in their historic season opener. After that win the margins kept growing, along with the fans ' interest. The Highlanders showed balance on offense, averaging 174 yards on the ground and 176 yards passing each game for an average net of 350. Opponents totaled an average of 215 yards per contest. MacMurray also showed a propensity to score, piling up a 235-85 edge in points for an average per-game margin of 25 to 10. The inaugural season helped to set the stage for another football first at MacMurray in 1985: the start of varsity competition. The Fighting Highlanders will tackle six varsity opponents in the next season. 44 Football Mac players Reggie Hughes, Dale Sparks, John Couve, and Derrick Woods congratulate themselves after the first fantastic win in their incredible season, left.

Good Season But No Bid Despite an 11-6 record and a share of the conference championship, Bill Rost would have traded his first season as head soccer coach at MacMurray College for the one goal that eluded the Highlanders in 1984: a berth in the NCAA ' s Division III Great Lakes Regional. Rost ' s first MacMurray club fashioned a hot and cold effort in falling short of a tournament bid for the second straight year. That dampened an otherwise fine season for the Highlanders, one in which they were in contention for a playoff spot until the final week of play when a 2-1 upset loss at Principia knocked them out of contention. Rost loses three key veterans to graduation in 1985 and, even with several regulars due to return, the 1985 season will shape up as one of the most demanding in the last several years. The key to any playoff hopes next season will hinge on one area: recruiting. Prominent among the graduation losses are fullback John Domalewski, forward Sergio Flores, and stopperback Todd Neighbors. Flores, a Division III All-American last season, got off to a slow start in 1984 before coming on strong at the end of the season to close with seven goals. Rost cited the jobs turned in by Domalewski and Neighbors as prime reasons behind the club ' s solid showing this season. Finding adequate replacements for those two presents Rost with one of several off-season challenges. The MacMurray coach commented that steady play from a large corps of underclassmen helps to brighten prospects for next season. The Highlanders bounded back from adversity several times during the season and fashioned a seven- of-nine surge during a late-season playoff bid before dropping the Principia game. Rost said his club ' s ability to remain in the thick of the regional playoff picture was one of the bright spots during an otherwise disappointing season. Among the possible benefits in store for MacMurray ' s next season will be a large class of freshmen that Rost expects to result from extensive recruiting throughout- the state and Midwest. 48 Soccer Enrique Guzman squeezes the ball past the opponent during one of the Highlanders ' matches, left.

Women Sweep the Conference The big story for the 1984-85 women ' s tennis season was the early October capture of the Prairie College Conference Championship by the Lady Highlanders. Winning their singles ' divisions meant complete domination of the PCC meet by MacMurray ' s top four players. In addition to this unprecedented sweep, the Lady Highlanders ' two doubles combinations also claimed PCC titles. Overall, the Mac women went 16-0 in tournament doubles competition while finishing 12-4 in tournament singles during ' 84.

Mac Wrestlers Claim Tourney Wins A mid-season coaching change stalled plans by the MacMurray wrestlers to regain the national prominence the team once enjoyed in the sport. The grapplers finished with a 4-2 mark in dual meets and claimed several individual titles, but came up short in their bid to qualify for the Division III national championships. Jack Gebauer, who formerly coached at Oakland University near Detroit, succeeded Robin Ersland as Mac ' s head coach Jan. 1, and guided the Highlanders through the balance of the season. Sophomore Ken Mansell of Mokena paced the Highlanders with a 33-7 mark that included first-place titles at the Cornell Open, Mac Invitational, Olivet-Nazarene Invitational, and the Concordia Invitational.

Young Swimmers Show Promise The Mac swimmers saved their best performance of the season for the Prairie College Conference Championships, where several members of the young squad put forth their top efforts of 1984-85. The swimmers recorded a 2-6 record under head coach Alisa Clary and fashioned a respectable showing despite being short on depth and experience. At season ' s end, the consensus was that this club had the potential to restore the aquatic program to the competitive level enjoyed by Mac teams several years ago. Team leader Heather Price of Rochelle set a school record in the 200-meter individual medley with a time of 2:59.76 against Knox, while teammate Karen Jennings, a freshman from Indianapolis, sparkled at the conference meet with a school record 27:49 in the 50-yard free. She also captured the PCC title on the one-meter springboard and finished second at three meters. Other fine performances at the conference meet were turned in by freshmen Bryan Tate (Springfield) with second-place finishes in the 50- and 100-yard free; Beth Parker (Arlington Heights) with a string of third-place finishes in the 100-, 200-, and 500-yard free; diver Steve Ryan of Peoria who placed second at one- meter and third at three meters; and Darren Woodin (Riverton) who came in third in the one-meter dive and second at three meters.

Late-season Streak Lifts Mac With victories in nine of their last 11 games, the basketball Highlanders closed out 1984-85 with a 15-11 record and, in the process, posted their third winning season in the past four years. Head coach Bob Gay reached a career milestone when he notched his 100th coaching victory in a win over Monmouth College, champs of the Midwest Conference. That win marked the start of the late-season surge that lifted the Highlanders into third place (6-4) in the Prairie College Conference. Another highlight included a 52-49 decision over Millikin that marked the first time in 24 years that the Highlanders had defeated the Big Blue in Decatur. MacMurray also finished second in the Wartburg College Tourney, logged impressive wins over post-season tourney teams McKendree, Monmouth, and Eureka, and defeated Illinois College twice. It was a good season for us, said Gay of his tenth year of coaching at Mac. Our players were close-knit, hard-working, and team- oriented. They showed the mental toughness and determination to win the close ones, Gay said of nine wins that were by 10 points or less. Senior co-captain Bill Sampen (Emden, III.) paced a balanced scoring attack by averaging 14.9 points per game, followed by senior Ron Cochran (Franklin) with 10.1 points, junior Brad Lutchka (Petersburg) with 9.5 points, and junior Tom Wojcik (Orland Park) with 9.4 points. Sampen led the club in FG shooting (.529) and was second in assists with 74, while Cochran was second in assists with 74, while Cochran was second in FG shooting (.521) and third in rebounding with 98. Wojcik was tops on the boards for MacMurray as he registered 159, followed by Lutchka with 110. Junior point-guard Jeff Murrow paced the club with 100 assists and added 6.3 points per game.

Beeler Sparks Lady Highlanders The Lady Highlanders posted a 2- 15 record as they worked through a rebuilding year. But the season yielded plenty of positive signs for a squad that was dominated in numbers by young players. Head coach Sue Bethanis said the superb season posted by senior forward Tammy Beeler helped make the 1984-85 campaign a memorable one for the squad. The graduate of Mendon-Unity High was counted among the top Division III players in the nation in field goal percentage, finishing with a season mark of 151 242 for 62.4 percent. A team leader throughout the campaign, Beeler averaged 21.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while hitting 70 percent from the free-throw line. Heeler ' s point production this season also moved her into second place on the school ' s all-time scoring list with 1182, and she now occupies third place in career rebounding with 534. Bethanis said the lessons learned in 1984-85 should pay dividends next season as the lineup will feature no less than eight players who saw considerable court time in 1984-85. We have several returning players who will provide a good, sound foundation for next year, the second-year coach stated. Adkison enjoyed a fine rookie season for MacMurray as she scored an average of 13 points per game and added nine rebounds. Others who made major contributions to the Lady Highlanders were freshmen Georgianna Allen (Meredosia), Judy Barilow (Park Forest), Karen Kovacevich (Glen EUyn), Jody Loop (Macomb), Kelly Osman (Dongola), Patricia Sovcik (Morton Grove), and Susan Spencer (Decatur), along with junior Chris Honey (Tamms).

Mac ' Hitmen ' Key 17-Win Year The disappointment of a 17-32 record did little to dampen what head coach Don Timm feels will be the continuing development of a solid program in baseball at MacMurray College. Senior co-captain Bill Sampen of Emden fashioned a 5-4 mark on the mound and led the staff with a 1.72 ERA in 52 innings. The right-hander registered an outstanding ratio of 72 strikeouts to just 19 walks. At the plate, Sampen rapped out a team- high 57 hits and knocked in 26 runs to finish with a .385 mark. His impressive statistics led to Sampen ' s selection as team MVP. Eric Watson paced the team in hitting with a .405 average. In 126 trips to the plate, Watson had 51 hits, including five home runs and a share of the team lead in RBI ' s with 28. Others who sparkled at the plate included Kane Robinson, the regular third baseman, who hit .358 in his freshman season; freshman Deric Cramer, who averaged .344 at the plate while holding an outfield spot; and versatile George Kruzick, the team co-captain who batted .313 and alternated between short and catcher. Sophomore John Orlet socked a club-high seven home runs while sharing the RBI leadership at 28 and hitting .264. My players aren ' t disappointed and they aren ' t discouraged, Timm said of a campaign that may well go down as a first installment on an accelerated building program in baseball. Timm ' s Highlanders did not become the Division III powerhouse in his first season; but the rookie coach said nothing happened to alter his belief that baseball at MacMurray is on the right track. 64 Baseball 1985 Results Mac — Opp Eastern Illinois 0-17, 0-13 Parks College 8-1, 16-0 Washington U. 9-8, 5-8 Illinois College 10-1, 21-8 Principia College 12-21, 2-8 Belmont College 0-1, 0-8 Cumberland U. 3-9, 3-13 Trevecca-Nazarene 1-11, 4-14 Lambuth College 12-17, 8-2 Belhaven College 2-8, 6-33 Milsaps College 7-11, 11-7 Augustana College 5-11, 4-6 Quincy College 10-0, 11-10 McKendree College 8-2 Millikin 7-8, 5-1 Illinois Wesleyan 0-1, 2-10 Monmouth College 4-7, 3-8 Blackburn College 14-3, 3-1 Greenville College 2-10, 10-0 Maryville College 5-3, 7-6 Principia College 4-8, 3-8 Bradley University 1-5, 3-13 Maryville College 3-1, 5-6 Greenville College 3-4, 3-6 Eastern Illinois 2-9, 0-10 Season Record: 17-32 Baseball 65 Front row (from left): Karen Lacey, Jody Loop, Gail Hajost, Barb Gaitens, Rita Gardner, Tammy Beeler, and Elizabeth Logsdon.

Gaitens Paces Diamond Gals A season that had its share of ups and downs also included a number of bright spots for the Lady Highlanders of MacMurray College. The club ended its spring softball season with an 8-20 record but Head Coach Linda Wilson said there were few regrets, especially in light of the rugged schedule her team completed. It seemed that when the defense held, we didn ' t hit, and when the offense was on a roll, the defense fell through, remarked the second- year coach. Of the club ' s 20 losses, three came at the hands of NAIA champ Quincy while the Lady Highlanders dropped contests to nationally ranked St. Xavier, Aurora and the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater. Wilson ' s players concluded the season with a 4-4 slate in Prairie College Conference action. Team leader and MVP Barb Gaitens led MacMurray in virtually every category while turning in a stellar job on the mound. The senior recorded an 8-17 record. Fellow seniors Lisa McCormick and Tammy Beeler earned selection to the PCC all-conference team. McCormick, a durable shortstop for the past three seasons, rapped out 21 hits for a batting mark of .233 while Beeler, a first baseman, chipped in with a .209 BA after coming off an injury last season. The Lady Highlanders will miss Gaitens at the plate next season as well as on the mound. She finished with a team-high .315 batting average and had club-high totals in total bases (47), hits (48) and RBI ' s (12). Other batting totals registered by the Lady Highlanders in 1985 included junior outfielder Rita Gardner with a .273, sophomore second baseman Jennie McElwec at .255, junior third baseman Chris Honey with a .228 mark, freshman outfielder Jody Loop who finished at .213 and sophomore catcher Karen Lacey with a .180 mark. Freshman centerfielder Susan Spencer recorded a team-high 23 walks in 63 at bats. Despite the loss of three talented seniors, Wilson is optimistic about her club ' s chances next season, especially in view of the solid contributions made by such underclassmen as Spencer, McElwee, Honey, Loop and Lacey. The key, she admitted, will be securing a player or two who can take over the pitching duties. 66 Softball 1985 Results Mac — O pp. Mac — Opp. Monmouth 10-5, 2-11 Quincy 1-10 Trinity 4-15 Blackburn 7-1, 7-1 Greenville 0-7 Greenville 510, 3-4 U. of Chicago 5-6 Maryville 3-4, 4-0 Concordia 5-12 Quincy 1-11, 0-11 Millikin 2-4, 0-10 Illinois College 4-2, 3-7 Augustana 1-0 Augustana 3-4 U. of Wis.-Whitewater 0-10 Aurora 2-11 St. Xavier 0-6 Carthage 12-8 North Central 2-4 Eureka 1-3, 8-7 Season Record 8-20 Jennifer McElwee looks at a low pitch during a game on campus as her teammates watch (top).

Sennott Wins MVP If head coach Mike Biloz can find a suitable replacement for graduating senior Scott Sennott, then the climb back to respectability for the Highlander golfers may just about be complete. Biloz saw much to be pleased with during the 1985 campaign, despite the fact that his club captured just one match. Sennott closed out an outstanding career at Mac by earning all-conference honors to go along with his MVP award in the sport. His 77 at the Quincy Tournament was the best round by a Highlander golfer all season and placed him in the tourney ' s top 10. The team did capture a win over Southeastern Community College of Burlington, Iowa. Mac finished just seven strokes out of second place at the conference tourney, pointing up the small margin that Biloz felt separated his team from posting a better overall record. After two seasons of occupying the conference celler, Biloz says his Highlanders are poised for a return to the upper echelon of the Prairie Conference in 1986. Club leaders next season are expected to be junior Scott Fearrin and sophomores Mike Wasson and Rick Isom. 68 Golf Golf 69 Front Row: Assistant Coach Harry Ally, J.T.

Look at these. Id, he said, pointing to a series of large white footprints that ran the entire length of the campus. Do you know what they are? he questioned his awed assistant. No, boss, replied Id. Tell me! I was unsure of what they were too, he began, but a student explained them to me this afternoon. These are the footprints of the Michalson Monster. He used to live on top of Marker Hall, a dorm that is no longer standing. When the building was torn down, the Monster moved down campus, and now lives on top of Michalson House. The students have immortalized his journey down campus by painting his footprints on the sidewalk leading down to Michalson. I understand that every year the freshmen must paint the footprints. It is sort of an initiation into the college. Id digested the little tale as they followed the footprints down campus to the back of Michalson House. Say boss, interjected Id, did you discover the origin of the Sherlock Holmes hat yet? Not exactly, but I believe the perpetrators chose this type of hat to add an aura of mystery to the case. Besides, any type of sports hat would definitely contain evidence incriminating the responsible institution, McTartan concluded. Is this where the monster disappeared? questioned Id as they approach M ichalson. Yes. This is where the students last saw him. Start looking for clues. Id, or any signs of a struggle. Maybe we can at least determine if he was taken by someone he knew or by a complete stranger. Look over here! Id was pointing excitedly at a bush. Dangling from it was a piece of rope. Good work, Id! commended McTartan, carefully lifting the rope off the bush and examining it. Sturdy rope. They must have had some time tying up the monster. From what I ' ve heard he is pretty big. Look around here, boss, Id said as he bent over and peered at the ground around the bushes. Look at all these footprints! And there! Those are the monster ' s footprints. It looks like there was a big struggle. Yes, yes! agreed McTartan, crouching down and beginning to examine some of the footprints. Id, he continued, we can now rule out the possibility that any students took the monster. It is obvious from these signs of struggle that he did not go willingly or go with anyone he was in the least bit familiar with. He stood up and dusted off his hands. Let ' s look around some more. They searched the perimeter of Michalson, noting the painted footprints running up the east side of the building, but finding no more clues. Well, boss, yawned Id, it doesn ' t look like there are any more clues to be found around here. I ' m getting awfully tired, too. Let ' s call it a day and come back tomorrow. I agree. Id, said McTartan, a little tired himself. It certainly has been an eventful day. We ' ll take the rope back to the hotel with us and continue our investigation tomorrow. We definitely have something to go on now! Let ' s go! (continued in Chapter Four) ORGANIZATIONS Fourth Row: Julie Sweeney, Debbie Sweetin, Eric Grebe, Elizabeth Logsdon.

Q Organizations 103 Or Early the next morning, McTartan and Id returned to the campus, stopping at the dining hall for a quick breakfast. Boy, this food isn ' t nearly as bad as the students say, commented Id as he stuffed another English muffin in his mouth. That ' s because it is natural for students to complain about something. If it isn ' t the food, it is something else, replied McTartan, eyeing his eggs warily and then reaching for his orange juice. We ' ve got to get going. Id, he began, but got no further as Mrs. Stephens approached the table. Hey there. How ' re y ' all doin this mornin ' ? I ' m Sandra Stephens, she smiled and held out her hand. Mc Tartan stood up and extended his hand to her. Hello. My name is Percy McTartan, P.I. This, he said, gesturing to Id, is my assistant, S.Q. Id. Id hastily wiped his hand on his trousers and extended it to Mrs. Stephens. It is a pleasure to meet you, he choked, attempting to swallow the rest of his muffin. So you ' re the two wonderful detectives that B.G. has hired to find our mahnster, Aah am enchanted, and soo thrilled. That seems to be the reaction of many people around here, replied McTartan. Well, she laughed, it ' s not every day that a mahnster gets kidnapped either. Y ' all have a good day, now, she said as she walked off to another table, Good day, said Percy McTartan, and then, Let ' s go. Id. We ' ve got to run a few errands in town and then report to the President what we ' ve discovered. An hour later they sat in the President ' s office and told of their find. Id found a piece of rope and some footprints, began McTartan. I think we can safely rule out the possibility that the monster knew the kidnappers. He must have put up a struggle. Did you find anything else? questioned the President. Only that the rope was purchased here in Jacksonville. We approached each hardware store until we found the store which sells this partic ' ular type. Unfortunately it is a very popular rope so we were unable to determine who bought this specific amount, replied Id. Well, we must wait until the next note arrives to decide what our next move shall be, said McTartan, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs. Id copied his boss ' s gestures, and all three began to make small talk, passing the time. Fifteen minutes later, Jeanne Jumps came into the office. It ' s the P.E, Department on the line. They say they ' ve received another ransom note. Let ' s go, said the President excitedly. They hurried to Dr. Gay ' s office. He looked grim as he handed the note to B.G. Stephens to read. This note was in my campus mailbox this morning, wrapped around the barrel of a water pistol which looks very much like a revolver, Dr. Gay related. Whoever is behind this scheme certainly has a sense of humor. They have played it up for all it ' s worth. The President blindly passed the note to McTartan who read it in turn; YOUR MONSTER WILL BE EXCHANGED FOR YOUR WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM. BRING THE TEAM TO THE ILLINOIS COLLEGE ATHLETIC FIELD BY MIDNIGHT TOMORROW. IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY, YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR MONSTER AGAIN.

Rutledge 117 AH, THAT DORM LIFE! I can ' t believe it, said B.G. Stephens with an incredulous look on his face. Illinois College actually kidnapped our monster for a winning football team! I knew they were envious of our 8-0 first season, added Dr. Gay, shaking his head, but 1 can ' t believe they ' d do anything like this. Well, gentlemen, interrupted Percy McTartan. We arc in a dilemma. I don ' t quite understand, said the President, tossing a confused look at the detective. You have to make a choice between the monster and the football team. It is obvious that the students will object to both. What are you proposing to do about it? B.G. Stephens and Dr. Gay sat down, suddenly looking quite dismayed. What are we going to do? questioned Dr. Stephens to no one in particuler. Neither choice will please the students, and, quite frankly, neither choice will be accepted by them, or the faculty, or the administration! I ' m lost, interjected Dr. Gay, shaking his head. I don ' t understand how we can make such a monumental choice. We can ' t just give our whole football team away. But we can ' t let the monster die either. What a decision. He turned to Percy McTartan with a pleading look in his eyes. Can you do something — anything — to help us? McTartan looked him steadily in the eye for a moment, then looked at B.G, Stephens before he finally spoke. Gentlemen, as I see it we have two choices: we can do what the kidnappers are asking, or we can find a way to get the monster back without sacrificing the whole football team. How can we do the latter? questioned the President. We can ' t just walk on their campus and start looking. We need a plan. Leave that to me, was McTartan ' s confident response. The only obstacle to a successful recovery of your monster is time. We only have until midnight tomorrow night. You ' ve got a plan, then? a hopeful Dr. Gay spoke up. Replied McTartan, I have begun formulating an idea that has proven successful in the past, yes. But the plan itself will take a little time and effort to come to fruition. He got out his notebook and began writing. What ' s the plan? asked B.G. Stephens excitedly. That, I regret, I cannot reveal. What I need from you is complete cooperation. I must talk to your head football and soccer coaches. I will also need some materials. 1 will make a list of them and you can tell me the best place to purchase them. If I need anything else I will let you know, he concluded, standing up and turning to leave. Wait! interjected the President, looking a bit dazed. What are we supposed to do? McTartan turned and looked at the two eager faces awaiting his reply. Nothing at all, he answered, and watched as their faces fell. Just leave it to me. By midnight tomorrow you will have your monster back. Until that time, however, you must act as if the football team will in fact be exchanged for it. That ' s ali? exclaimed the President, looking a bit dismayed. That ' s all, replied McTartan. Now if you will excuse me, I have much work to do in little time. First of all, I will take the revolver, excuse me, water pistol, with me to be examined closely with a magnifying glass by my capable assistant, i believe it may yield a clue as to who specifically masterminded this entire operation. Good day, gentlemen. McTartan strolled out of the office, his head tilted confidently, as he pulled his magnifying glass from his pocket, putting his plan into action. {continued in Chapter Six) CLASSES s E N I O R S Alfred Glenn Adams Madison, Indiana B.S. — Administration of Justice: Political Science Arthur J.

David Smith plays ping-pong in his spare time left. Id had not followed his boss to the P.E. Department, Instead, he hung around in the campus center, talking to the students. Hey, S.Q. Id, bellowed one football player. How about a game of foosball? Sure thing, said Id, struggling out of his jacket and removing his clip-on tie. I ' ll take you on. He was paired up with a burly student, opposite the reigning foosball champs who, after looking over their new and puny opponent, were sure that victory was to come easily. They were startled, however, at Id ' s skill at the game, and the struggle to win became more fierce. Hey, S.Q. Id, grunted one opponent during a particularly long point, you ain ' t bad. I ' ve had a lot of practice, gasped Id as he spun the handle. Ha! Point! That ' s the last ball. I guess I won! he smiled happily. You just got luck. Id, came the disgruntled reply. How are you at pool? Not bad, Id replied. You want to play? Sure. A small crowd gathered to watch them play. So, you play football, huh, asked Id as he was bending over the table and lining up a shot. Yup, the football player replied. I understeind you had a good first year. Good?!? Ha, it was great! We went 8-0. It was an awesome season, he replied proudly as he made a shot. Damn, I missed. The game was interrupted when Percy McTartan walked into the campus center looking for his assistant. Id? Id? Oh, there you are. I ' m sorry, he said turning to the watching students, but I am in grave need of my assistant. Also I must ask all of the football and soccer players to meet in the gym with their coaches immediately. It is vitally important that you all attend. Come on Id, we ' ve got some shopping to do. They left amid a group of confused students, some of whom headed toward the gym. What ' s going on, boss? asked a confused Id. The kidnappers are from Illinois College, and they want MacMurray ' s football team in exchange for the monster. They want the mpfffh mpf ., McTarten quickly put his hand over Id ' s mouth. Shhhh. We must keep this quiet, he cautioned. I ' ve got a plan. We ' ve got to get some canvas, some metal framing, and some paint. Let ' s go. We ' ve got work to do. As McTartan and S.Q. Id ceinvassed Jacksonville acquiring the necessary materials, it was made quite obvious to the salesclcrks that McTartan was smoking meerschaum pipe. McTartan ' s rationale behind this gesture was to distract suspicion from his activities by leading the local citizens to believe he was just an ordinary MacMurray faculty member amassing articles for a simple experiment. Fortunately McTartan ' s facade succeeded and word of his unusual purchases was not spread. McTartan and Id passed the afternoon and early evening constructing their plan, occasionally consulting with the coaches and players until all was ready to go. McTartan and Id reported on their progress during dinner at the President ' s house. The President and his wife continucdty questioned him about his plan, but all he said was, We ' ll just have to wait now. ' ' As the midnight hour approached, Id became restless, but McTartan sat back in his car and waited . .

The next morning dawned bright and cheery. The sky was a crystal blue and the gnats were taking a rest fronn their usually pestering nature. A smiling McTartan sat in the President ' s office along with Id, who matched his boss ' s smile with a sloppy grin of his own. President Stephens sat forward in his chair as McTartan began to narrate the events of the previous night. Jim Murphy sat in the chair next to the President, tape recorder and camera ready. As you can see, the monster is back, began McTartan. The students are hailing his return quite loudly. Tell us how you did it, Mr. McTartan, said Jim Murphy, turning on his tape recorder. McTartan settled back in his chair and began the tale: I had no doubt that we could get the monster back we were cunning enough. So, I relied upon an ancient plan, first used in the Trojan War. The materials I requested, the canvas, the light metal framing, and the paint, were used to construct a large soccer ball — large enough to accommodate ' several small soccer players. The coaches explained to the Illinois College personnel that this Trojan soccer bail was the toy of the football team, and it was something they used in practice. Of course, Illinois College being what it is, they took the bait. The rest Was quite easy. The football team rolled the ball to the athletic field at precisely midnight. There it was made clear that the football team would be placed under guard and the monster would not be released until morning. During the early hours of the morning the soccer players sneaked out of the ball, and crept around campus in search of the monster. He was discovered drugged, tied up, and gagged in the fine arts center. They quickly released him as quietly as possible and hurried back to MacMurray. Meanwhile the football players, pretending to be studying, overpowered their unsuspecting guards, tied them up, and also headed back to MacMurray. It all ran quite smoothly, McTartan concluded, quite pleased with the results. Who were the kidnappers? B.C. Stephens wanted to know. They were not, I understand, members of the I.C. administration or faculty, but rather a group of disgruntled students. They have been handcuffed and taken to the proper authorities. McTartan paused, then turning to Jim Murphy added, If you have taken all the pictures you need we shall be on our way. I believe our job is done. He stood and shook hands with the President and Mr. Murphy. Id copied his movements. Thank you for your efforts, smiled the President. We are all very grateful for your work. It was a pleasure, replied McTartan. This shall indeed go in my journal of unusual cases. Come along. Id. They emerged from Kathryn Hall into the dazzling sunlight and headed for their car. McTartan stopped and took one final look at the campus. What an odd institution, he mused, and walked on. THE END CLOSING Commencement 1985 A Farewell to MacMurray A busy Commencement weekend, May 17-19, 1985, was highlighted by the graduation of 124 members of the class of 1985. The weekend ' s activities began on Friday evening with the senior recital of baritone music major Jeff Barnes and the joint MacMurray-Jacksonville Theatre Guild production of Close Ties. The production was directed by Sue Conrad and featured Amy Keller as a member of the cast. Dr. E.C. Bone was the featured speaker at the Nurses ' Pinning Ceremony on Saturday afternoon. Nineteen graduating MacMurray nurses received their pins, representing the third class to complete the baccalaureate nursing program at the College. The Senior Honors Banquet was held Saturday evening, followed by the final choir concert of the year.

Hugs and kisses all around — a familiar scene after Commencement, left. E. MacMurray, delivered the baccalaureate address in Annie Merner Chapel Sunday morning. Her topic was, Leading a Life Worthy of the Call. Dr. Daniel Gilbert, president of Eureka College, provided the featured remarks at the 134th Commencement service. In his address to the graduates, Gilbert spoke of how a liberal arts background acquired at colleges such as MacMurray equips students for the challenges inherent in a fast-changing society. With adaptability and enhanced self-esteem, you will be prepared to accept the most important gift, in my opinion, that MacMurray College can give to you — the gift of values. The prominent educational administrator commented that the evolution of one ' s value system — which typically extends over a lifetime — is greatly accelerated during a four-year college education. This is a direct result of the contact students have with committed college teachers. Their primary gift to you, Gilbert continued, will be the renewal of and support of positive, life-affirming values in the context of a caring community.

Laurent 1929-1985 Dr. Laurent, professor in the MacMurray theatre arts department since 1966, died of stomach cancer on April 18, 1985 at Rochester Methodist Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. The accompanying tribute to him was written by Wanda Tiffany. Dr. Laurent as Diamond Louie in The Front Page. The death of Eugene Laurent leaves an incredible void in the lives of his loved ones, his friends, his students and his colleagues, and a wide chasm in the cultural life of our community. Those of us who loved him would not have wanted him to continue suffering — the speed of his exit (one facet of the timing he demanded from his actors) was consistent with his vibrant pacing; yet this time it left us with a great feeling of frustration — as though we had just shared th« joy of a Laurent production and were given no opportunity to applaud. In a world where mediocrity is not just accepted but too often encouraged in the name of conformity. Gene stood for excellence. He challenged each of us — from the youngest child to the ' oldest cast member — to reach for the best within us and to settle for nothing less. An actor and director of a caliber far superior to many who struck it rich, he kept creative genius in the academic world, sacrificing personal wealth and power for the enrichment of others. He could be an imposing, controversial tyrant able to infuriate and intimidate us — but controversy may be the inevitable price of leadership in a complacent world. We quaked in his presence, and yet we loved him for not concealing his own vulnerabilities and for the great sensitivity that was sometimes painfully close to the surface and was the source of his incredible artistry. He demanded our best at all times yet alway gave of himself more than he demanded of us. Yet we must not honor his memory by deifying him because of our loss. He despised pomposity and would be the first to object if we die so. He was fully human, his life both enriched and complicated by his intense capacity to feel. I think he might like us to remember him as stated in a line from The Paper Chase, his final production: Appreciate him for what he was — a good teacher. Gene was the kind of educator who made those of us who share his profession stam a little taller. I believe in a God whose love for Gene has continued after death, but I know that heaven cannot be a place of floating around aimlessly, on clouds now that Gene Laurent is there! We all need imagery to help us visualize the unimaginable, and that is why I now visualize heaven as a place where halos are shinier, robes a uniform length and angel choirs warming up as a tall figure in tennis shoes tells them to burst forth in song when the heart is too full to speak! Gene, you left us too quickly this time, and we do need to applaud We shall continue striving for excellence in the theater and looking fo: the best within ourselves - that was your great gift to us and our striving for excellence will be your curtain call 168
