A new president was to mark a change in the looks of the new academic year. OBUts reputation for excellence was soon to grow under the leadership of President Bob R. Agee. Other evidences were very noticeable from the start. The 3.5 million dollar Noble Complex was complete and ready for its first year of use. Married students also found a new place of residence in married student housing. There were others ready for their first year also. One of the largest groups of freshmen appeared on campus in late August while many transfers were to add to the existing student population. Although there were many new ulooksn on campus, the reputation that 080 had was not limited to the physical beauty of the h campus. 2 l Opening Convocation represents the beginning of the new school year.

Students found themselves as individuals in a growing cycle along with the university. For many students spiritual growth was important during the year. New groups of Bible studies were often seen around campus or in the dormitories. Academic growth Was most prevalent though. To some students the pressures of studies were just challenges to stretch their minds. Other students found it frustrating. There were rumors of grade inflation on campus, but many wondered where it existed. Students knew that they had to work for their grades. OBU also sponsored social growth. Two new social clubs began their first full year of active membership. Though the realization of dating on campus was questioned, the weekend activities found many couples iigrowing closer together. The sports scene was not to be left out in its growth of activity. Baseball players raised money for improvement of the fields by selling basketball programs. The Noble Complex offered a better place for practice and play. Students were excited as the academic year began because they knew that the year reflected. a reputation that's w w Growing Opening l 5 A Reputation That's Growing uHey, you want to go to Braumts? It's time for a study break! 1 Whether it was taking a few minutes out of a hectic t day to goof off or attending a scheduled event, activities ; allowed students the opportunity of social growth. . There were always activities to fill onets time. And even when there wasntt time, time was made to watch the last episode of ttMtAtStH or eat pizza while studying for a Civ test. Student life wasntt something one did e it was the daily experience of campus activities. It was the little events that held just as much meaning during the year. Candlelightings of good friends, moving roommates' t furniture into the hall and even eating in the beloved 7 Laura Scales Cafeteria became events that will be just as 7 7 7 remembered. ,7, 7 77 -- 7 7 oh 7; -7 Weekends were also full of things to do. Campus - Activity Board sponsored movies on campus on Saturdays when the calendar was open. It was a rare occasion to have nothing to do on the weekend, date or no date. Activities werentt limited to the campus either. t 1 Students often escaped to Oklahoma City to see an area concert or to eat at their favorite restaurant. The events of campus had a good reputation. But more importantly, the lives of students grew through 1 relationships made during the activities. t StUdent 75-7, 7 f Life l l t J 6 t Student Life Division 3 1 i f Moving in is hectic process Freshman settle in before upperclassman arrive Moving-in and enrollment seemed to go together for the upperclassmen who started moving in on Saturday, August 28. After getting briefly settled in their rooms, they began enrolling on Monday and Tuesday in the Mabee Learning Center. The Learn- ing Center as the enrollment locale was a change from previous times with the hopes of facilitating a quicker process. To the freshmen, enrollment was only a phe- nomenon that took a lot of time out of one's social schedule. But much to their surprise, the time passed quickly as new friends were made while filling out forms, changing classes and getting I.D.'s made. The moving-in process for the freshmen, howev- er, was as pleasurable as it was for the upperclass- men. Arriving three days before the upperclassmen did, the freshmen had plenty of time to get settled in their new iihome for nine months. Apart from hav- ing to carry luggage and equipment up flights of stairs to their rooms, moving in proved to be fun. After signing their lives away on room damage forms and reassuring themselves of getting ex- tended curfew privilege, the freshmen looked for- ward to orientation, classes and new friends. Both the freshmen and upperclassmen moved in and enrolled and looked forward to a brand new year. Moving in and out. Out of the car and into Brotherhood, Doug Parnell loads up another armfull to move. Schedule checks were a common sight in the Learning Center during the First week of school. 8i Moving in - Enrollment Big helpers. Parents help their freshman girls move into WMU dormitory.

Moving In - EnrollmenU 9 Aliegiance to the alma mater is practiced on the first night of freshman orientation. Potter Auditorium was dark with sounds of organ pipes becoming inv creasingly stronger. Soon beanie-Clad freshmen entered the chapel doors after a thirty minute jaunt around the oval. To the upperclassmen hiding in the balcony, it was a common annual event, but to the unknowing freshmen it was the beginning of a week long process com- monly known as freshmen orientation. That first week included chants of the Inauguration of OBU's thirteenth president, Dr. Bob R. Agee, takes place in November. freshmen creed and Ka-Rip. Other activi- ties fiiled the week as students met new people and re-established last year's friendships. Freshmen orientation was not a new event, but over the years the process had changed. Years ago, orientations reputa- tion was one of a long demanding period. Freshmen wore beanies not only the week long time period required now, but as far along into the semester as Thanksgiving break. Over the years orientation has become more lax, but it was still demanding. The abolishment of an upperclass line occur- red, so bop-cops tbison orientation policei became the main source of chastisement. Beannie-topped freshmen were seen throughout the campus performing any number of the iamiiiar ant, cockroach and flying bacon impersonations. Human ver- sions of Space Invaders and Pac Man he- came common occurrences as upper- Classmen took advantage of the new video game craze. Helpful parents ohen aid in the yearly process of moving in.

A hard pull by the upperclassmen give them the victory that is not uncommon in the upperclassmen-freshman tugeof-war. 12 l First of the Year Orientation and activities fill time for arriving freshman Students busy even at the first The school year began far away for many stu- dents as they packed their belongings for the annual trip to school. Coming from everywhere in the Unit- ed States and from around the world, students looked fowvard to the first of the year. Although long hours of study and classwork lay ahead of them, meeting new friends and seeing old friends was the reason for the excitement of being back at school. And as students moved into their dorms and apartments, the moving-in process and enrollment gave them just that chance to renew acquaintances and form new ones. Freshmen orientation also gave new students a chance to meet others as the freshman class was initiated in the traditional style complete with beanies and Bop Cops. The Freshmen- Upperclassmen Tug-of War and football games, which the upperclassmen won, officially ended ori- entation. Classes had begun three days before the end of orientation and many students had taken their time gearing up for classes. Some students preferred to take advantage of such opportunities as Organization Day, sponsored by SGA, during which many school organizations had displays depicting what they were about. Other students chose to attend the entertainment activities such as the Biggie, the Freshmen Follies and the Cruse Family concert, which all took place within the first couple weeks of school. The first of the year was a busy time which stu- dents will long remember. Teacher of the year. Dr. James Hurley, gives the convocation address during the second chapel.

First half Hnale is performed by Sally Windhorn as she sings the popular Broadway hit, Fame. 16 Freshmen Follies Freshmen prove talent in annual show We go together As the lights dimmed, we were taken back to a time when bobby socks were in and leather jackets were a must. The stage was Hooded with upper- classmen who were checking out the freshmen that had invaded their turf. Thoughtfully, the upperclass- men gave the freshmen a chance to prove them- selves. With Holly Hudson and Randy Whitley emceeing, the Freshmen took off with Dawn Castleberry, LeAnn Crow, and Jennifer Christopherson and their Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B. Next was Terry Tilleman's uFirst Love. Everyone enjoyed Mark Garner's talent expressed through his song. Call on the Name of the Lord. Susan Kern, backed by Jona Tickle, Shelley Edwards and Becky Martin, caught everyone up on the lingo of today through a itValiey Girl take-off. Meanwhile, Alicia Hauser and Scott Crawley brought tears to the eyes of the audience as they sang Ever More. The serene tears were soon ex- changed for tears of laughter as Cathy Spriggs showed her version of Snow White. For a change Of pace, Sally Windhorn performed the hit song from the television series iiFame. Suspense filled the air during the intermission. The audience tried to make its own decision while David Alexander and Beth Davis read off the names of the candidates for Freshman Queen. One by one, the girls came on stage with their escorts. Soon the moment came when April Carney was announced as the 1983 Freshman Queen. Escorted by Ron Johnson and crowned by Freshman Class President Scott Fullbright, April was handed a dozen roses by SGA president Alan Parker. The show continued with Jona Tickle, Becky Mar- tin, Brian Spencer,John Roe, Mark Beedy and David Karnes in an outstanding performance of Manhat- tan Transfer's popular song, Operator. Tami Whitefield introduced a unique song, Texas Oil Wells. Last, but certainly far from least, the cast wrapped up the show with selections from the movie Grease. The audience found itself involved as the upper- classmen decided the freshmen had proved them- selves and were accepted. 80 it was true, they went together for sure. Beth Kelley Boogie trio.

The stage of Potter Auditorium reflected on old Mississippi Riverboat from the setting of Mark Twain's writings. The captain was Benjamin Jack- son, portrayed by J. Greg Davis, and the captain's first mate Joshua, was played by Ken Dunham. These were the masters of ceremonies and they guided the show with ease. Assisting them were two southern belles, Donita Masters and Ronda Mosier. Featured first on the Showboat was uThe Dukes of Dixieland, composed by Lynne Farrington, clar- inet; Tim Miller, trumpet; Scott Terry, trombone; Clark Koepping, tuba; Belinda Bell, piano and Russ McAdoo on the drums. They filled the air with enter- taining Dixieland jam. Next on deck were J erry Faught and Melanie Mil- ler. They entranced the audience as they sang 'iDriftin. Next, Guy Langhan sang Sincerely Yours which gained the attention of all listening. Arousing humor in the audience was a skit per- formed by Mark Case and Chris Russell. The skit was a rendition of Abott and Costellds Whois on First? David Romoser sang a Keith Green composition entitled Asleep in the Night, while Perry Walker enhanced the meaning of the song with a mime about a bum who tries to enter a church and is rejected. Margaret Stack joined the southern belle fashion by wearing a Hbelle dress and performing the song Musical mime is performed by Perry Walker as David Romoser sings Asleep in the Night. It was the third time that the duo had performed in an OBU talent show. 1 8 i Biggie 'il Canit Help Lovini Dat Man. After intermission, 01' Man River, was sung by Gordon Longhofer, which was followed by i'Ebony and Ivory. Don Hanson and Tyrone Robinson sang the popular hit while backed by a live band. Mark Lowrey came abroad the Showboat next with his performance of the song Care. An entertaining presentation of If He Walked Into My Life, was sung by Kara McGee. Kimi Minton brought back the southern style with her dramatic narrative, De Tar Baby from Uncle Remus. Bringing the Showboat cruise to an end was the performance of Amy Grants Fat Baby. The quar- tet consisted of Sue Gibson, Karen Nesbitt, Paula Srriathers and Sherrie Stoddard. All of the performers gathered and bowed to the audience following the last Showboat performance. Captain Jackson summed up the 1982 Biggie by saying, A Showboat is a rare and wonderful thing. This Showboat was just that.

After the Harvest Court presentation, 19 alumni presented a musical show- case with entertainment including solos, quartets, and a dramatic reading. 20 i Harvest These two traditions are important in the lives of alumni as well as present students. They are notjust superficial events that take place each year with no meaning, but are important and symbolic of what OBCI is: an institution of higher Christian education that cares about and preserves its past, and a school that is working towards a mighty future.

The HomecomingiHarvest festivities took place November 12-13. It was a busy and exciting weekend as 1500 alumni returned to take part in Homecoming. Some of the activities attended by the alumni were class reunions, alumni banquets, alumni award ceremonies and the Harvest Festival. The alumni were faced with an added dimension in the form of the Noble Complex, in which the Bison and Lady Bison easily attained Homecoming victories over St. John's College. Another change which alumni encountered was pres. Bob R. Agee. Alumni were excited to meet Pres. Agee and hear about his dreams for the future.

Snow, the sound of sleigh bells, the ring of carolers singing? Well, maybe up north, but at OBU, Christmas-time was characterized by the rustling of pages as students prepared for final exams. Although studies were foremost on everyone's mind, activities were planned to get students into the holiday spirit. On December 5, the first weekend after Thanks- giving break, the Feast of the Boarts Head and Hanging of the Green were held. Students in the University Chorale served as hosts and hostesses at the dinner tables for the Feast. After the dinner, the festivities moved to Raley Chapel for the Hang- ing of the Green ceremony. Students participating in this tradition included the honorees who hung the green, and members of Chorale, while other students came to join in the celebration of Christ- mas. Aweek later CAB sponsored itAn Old Fashioned Christmas in the Kerr parlor, which received a good turnout of students. Pres. and Mrs. Agee read Tree lights sparkle on the oval as a tradition on campus. GC decorations are put up by Becky Holbrook, Kelly Gordon, nary Ramsey and Jennifer Cloyde for the Feast of the Boar's ead. the Christmas Story from the Bible and told of past Christmases they remembered. intermittently stu- dents sang Christmas carols, heard stories about Christmas in another country, and heard handbell ringers. This iiOid Fashioned Christmas helped set the right Christmas mood for many. Another event that topped off OBU'S Christmas was the turning on of the lights on the trees in the oval after the Bison's basketball game December 3. At the game, Bison Mascot Bobby Dyer dressed as Santa and handed out candy canes. After the game, students filed to the oval for the lighting and then to the GC for hot chocolate. Individual students celebrated Christmas by put- ting lights up in their dorm windows and by dec- orating Christmas trees for their rooms. The fourth floor of Baxter Hall in Brotherhood pooled their efforts and spelled out Jesus in their win- dows facing Raley Chapel. Although exams were fast upon students after their return from Thanksgiving, time was still found to get in the Christmas spirit. Cheryl Milam Christmas i 25 42 seniors hang green after festive dinner Faculty and Chorale perform opera Christmas is a time for traditions, and Saturday, December 5, the OBU community participated in its annual traditions of the Feast of the Boaris Head and the Hanging of the Green. The Feast of the Boaris Head is a dinner with the atmosphere of an old English palace. Dr. Bob R. Agee changed roles from president of the university to king of the land. Jerry Cotton, assis- tant professor of speech and theatre, narrated the program which included songs and pageantry per formed by faculty and staff members wearing tradi- tional English costumes. Members of the University Chorale served as hosts and hostess at the dinner tables. After the Feast of the Boar's Head, the diners moved to Raley Chapel for the Hanging of the Green ceremony. OBU's first Hanging of the Green was in WMU dorm. Representatives from all of the dormitories lighted candles and carried the light to their own residences. Now the students who are recognized in the ceremonies represent all types of students, not just dormitory residents. Dr. Randy Wood, associate dean of students for activities and GC director, said the honorees were Chosen by the student development staff from nominations made by faculty and staff members. To be selected, the student must be worthy of recognition, but not previously honored. Wood said 'inot previously honored means that the student cannot be a member of Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa, Whois Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities or Harvest Court. Other criteria for selection included students who represent dorms, commuters, Shawnee residents, international students, married students and other segments of the OBU community.n They were to also be uexemplary of the OBLl ideals. Twenty-one senior women were honored. They were Sharon Adair, Elizabeth Adegboye, Connie Bierhalter, Cheryl Bower, Karen deCordova, Vickie Dodson, Lynne Langham, Debra Heinzig, Debbie Henning, Sara McGee, Sara Martin, Shari Moore, Ellen Odie, Lauri Pearson, Ronda Robbins, Diane Shively, Sherri Stoddard, Sara Taggart, Candy Treat, Catherine Weaver and Terri Wheeler. The men who were honored were Scott Ayers, Mark Betterton, Bill Buchanan, Ron Bullard, Kent Douglas, Dennis Heinzig, John Krake, Guy Lang- ham, Andy Latta, Mark Gibson, Jerry Johnson, Phil Maull, Frank Morris, Mark Romoser, Michael Ross, Ken Windle, Darryl Sewell, Glenn Watson, Don Wright, Phil Odie, and Steve Flippo. After the introduction of the honorees, they 26 T Hanging of the Green moved to various places throughout the chapel to hang the greenery. At the same time, white Christ- mas lights were turned on along the staircases on each side of the chapel. This tradition came from an ancient English tradi- tion when the people carried branches of evergreen into their houses in winter in hopes that the spirits of the woods and streams would take refuge there from the winter storms. With Christianity, the green- ery symbolizes everlasting life made possible through Christmas. Amahl and the Night Visitor was performed after the greenery was hung. The opera, by Gian-Carlo Menotti, is about a little crippled shepherd boy named Amahl who is visited by three oriental kings on their way to see the child that was born in Beth- lehem. Amahl was played by Mary Kay Parrish, associate professor of music. Amahl's mother was played by Rhetta Mayfield, assistant professor of music. In the role of the three kings were Jim Brown and Don Clark, assistant professors of music, and Dr. William Horton, professor of music. Dr. William Mitchell, professor of English, played the page while the Uni- versity Chorale performed as the shepherds and villagers. Sarah Zimmerman Mother and son.

Hanging of the Green 27 Many opportunities greet students living in dorms Dorms create lasting friendships Dorm life was, essentially, what one made it. As a freshman, the times in the dorm meant studying together, eating popcorn and catching up on the latest. The friendships established during the time were to become the ones that lasted a lifetime and especially important during college years. Roommates were looked on as either good or bad tor sometimes really badD but they taught that living together doesnlt always make instant friends. Dorm Directors and Resident Assistants were only a hall away and became the big brothers or big sisters during the year. F requent activities in the dorm gave students the chance to meet even more people from their own dormitory or another. Movies, aerobics, after-game parties, inter- dormitory sports and speakers on common in- terests were just a few of the things the dorms ottered. One of the most important aspects of dorm life was the mail. It either came to some by the letters or it didnt come at all. Home town church newsletters were even a welcome sight when the mail was low. Rule Violations tknown to most as RVisl were a constant reminder that quiet hours were in effect in the evening and in the morning. Many girls found their way, along with their bath- ing suit when the weather got warm, out behind Kerr. Known to most girls as Kerr Beach, spring brought out many girls as they worked on summer tans while catching up on reading assignments. There were so many activities in the dorms and so many people. But the times students spent in the dorm were times that will only come during a few years of ones life. Lounge areas provide Tom Howard, Suzy Birth and Anita Maupin a place to talk and study. Birthday surprises were in store for Terrie Hellard in the Howard Residence Center. 28i Dorm Life Required meetings give RA Floyd Wingo a chance to discuss dorm policies and forms. Mail's up is a happy sign for most dorm students. Brad Randall checks daily to see if he has received any. Dorm Life 29 New housing provides a first for married couples Couples find new campus housing One-bedroom apartments with central air and heat, major appliances included, priced at $175 a month. Interested? Well, there is one catch. You have to be married, and either you or your spouse has to be a full-time student at OBU. One unit of eight apartments for OBU married students opened this fall. These apartments include a living room, kitchen, dining area, one bedroom and one bathroom for a total of 4920 square feet. The apartments have central gas heating and air conditioning. They come with a refrigerator, stove, and washer and dryer. The apartments are carpeted and have a built-in bureau and shelves in the bed- room. The apartments rent for $175 a month, which includes water and sewage. All other utilities are paid for by the occupants. The university has historically prepared long- range plans for itself, said J. Thomas Terry, the executive assistant to the president and vice presi- dent for business affairs. Dr. E. Eugene Hall, former OBU president, addressed the issue of expanding the campus during his tenure at 080. In 1979, he brought his concerns to the administration, faculty and student members. These concerns included the area of married student housing. Late in the fall 1981 semester, Dr. Paul Corts, OBLl executive vice president, spoke with a couple of people who expressed interest in the plans for married student housing. Soon thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Burns of Nowata donated money for the building of such a complex. Occupants for the apartments were chosen on the basis of four standards. llEvidence of financial need as demonstrated through the financial aid process will be taken into consideration, said Vicki Degonia, director of per- sonnel and institutional services. Students who have attended OBU previously and who are upper level students will be given preference. Students who applied early will be given prefer- ence over later applicants, assuming the same level of need and classification. The donors have asked Newlywed cook. Mike Ross, takes time out from studying to help with the cooking in the family. 30 i Married Housing that students who are studying for church-related vocations be given special consideration. Occupants may remain in the apartments as long as one of the spouses is a full-time student. Howev- er, no pets or children are allowed in the apartments. One reason no children are allowed is that the apartments have only one bedroom, said J . Thom- as Terry. He also added that lithe location on cam- pus does not lend itself to small children. Future plans of the university include building two more apartment complexes when funds allow. Once completed, there will be a total of 24 apart- ments available for married students thus complet- ing the so-named Burns Apartments. 'a'milgllt J : '. i; M After completion. Burns apartments become the first married housing on campus with the expectancy of completing more in the next year. Waiting lists are already made for interested stu- dents who found that the apartments were taken quickly. Summer construction, was required in order to complete the apartments before the fall semester. They were finished a few days before classes began. Married Housing t 31 Cafeteria gains new computer checking system Cafeteria caters to most students It was more than a cafeteria. Laura Scales Cafeteria was an integral part of the campus. Stu- dents, faculty and administrators met and ate there. Under the management of Doug Goad the cafeteria tried to cater to most students. The cafeteria changed in several ways during the semesters. One of the greatest changes was the introduction of the Validine computer system for entrance to the cafeteria. Student meal cards were inserted in a computer terminal. In the past, students had to pre-select the meals they wished to eat. With the Validine system students could eat whatever meals they wished. The system also allowed for faster entrance into the cafeteria. Another change incorporated was the abolish- ment of the sandwich line. The same menu was carried in all of the lines. The sandwich line was first switched over to a diet line but was cancelled be- cause of low participation. Instead, a color coded card diet awareness system was worked into the main lines. The cafeteria provided employment for. 45-50 students as part-time workers. This was an ideal place for many students to work because of its central location. Approximately 20 full time em- ployees worked in the cafeteria. All of the workers tried to make the best possible meals for the stu- dents. While the cafeteria was definitely not like home, the cafeteria staff did its best to make it appeal to students. Each month birthday cake was served in honor Check-ups are administered under the careteria manager Doug Goad. Tootsie? No -just a part of the Valentine's dinner given in the cafeteria. J.

These included picnics, spe- cial buffets and celebration. The seafood and Mex- ican buffets were popular as were the Halloween party and the carnival night. These were just several of the specialty nights designed to please students. Sure, the cafeteria was the place to go for break- fast, lunch and dinner. But it was also one of the most popular meeting places on campus and where most of the students spent a lot of their time. Randy Smith ! mfiulmhp..1H A A Nunm 1 I . I Service with a smile.

Fall production receives high acclaim for performance Theater brings MB? to stage The theater department outgrew its former space in Shawnee Hall and when students arrived on cam- pus there was no longer a Women's Building. Instead, the former gymnasium was converted to the Theater Annex. The added space gave added dimension to the department and to the produc- tions that occurred on campus. Archibald McLishis J .B. and twelve one-act plays were the main productions of the Theater depart ment during the fall semester. Auditions and parts were filled by both students and faculty in the production that portrays the famil- iar book in the Bible, Job, in a present day situation.

Webster de- fines fashion as the prevailing style during a partic- ular time worn by those wishing to be 'iup-to-date. Then, to fit with this definition, OBU fashion ranged from mini skirts to button-up Levis to sweats! Whoever said Shawnee was just a small town somewhere in Oklahoma failed to realize the head- way it made in the fashion world! OBUlers could be seen sporting the preppie look one moment to the Western look the next. The obvious trend was indi- vidualism and to wear whatever you felt like. Some of the traditional looks on campus were the classic, tailored look. It included blazers with pants or skirts and were frequently worn by social clubs pledges or ministerial students. Another familiar look was the last-yearls popular preppie look. Although hearsay had it preps were going out, this claim was not substantiated on the DEC! campus. Polos, lzods, khakis, penny loafers, tortois-shell rimmed glasses and a shirt tied around the shoulders were usually the marks of a preppie. Another indication was the colors pink and green. Although music majors were blamed for keeping the prep tradition alive, they were not the only ones to blame. Some people just wouldnlt let old tradi- tions die . . . Another trend seen occasionally was that of leg warmers with jeans and boots. Although this look originated with dancers in New York, some students felt right at home wearing this. A new trend to arrive was the punk look of mini skirts. Although OBU had a few innovators, it was not often seen. Other attire of the punk rocker in- cluded long sweatshirts, bright-colored hose, funny glasses, and wide jewelry: and definitely the acces- sory of a Sony Walkman! The fashionable comfort of sweats was a great success. A year ago if sweats were worn to class it was considered sloppy. Due to the comfort of this apparrel, it now is in style. From velour warm-ups to grubby sweats, all were considered fashion. The truly fashion conscious wore matching headbands, socks, and Nike shoes to top off their sporty look. Jeans, the old stand-by, were also a favorite this year. But to be bin style, they must be button-ups! And not to forget the long sleeve t-shirt, preferably an Ocean Pacific! This look, along with the sporty look were most appealing. Running a close third, however, were the 4 Bis: blazer, boots, bluejeans, and buttondown. Guys out to impress girls were frequently seen in this attire. Fashion was diverse, and although many trends were marked fashionable, the main trend was the uniqueness of the individual. innovators Phara Rathbun and Brigette Williams dress punk on a spring afternoon.

Fashion l 51 Dating provides friendship and growing relationships Campus activities influence dating One of the most satisfying and usually exclusive situations on campus was dating. Many students took advantage of the opportuni- ties for dating that presented themselves. However, many others either did not take the time or did not take the chance. Time was often a problem in scheduling dates. Examinations, papers, meetings and study periods conflicted with available rendezvous. Students usually put school first and social life second. Finances, or rather lack of finances, also caused controversy. Dating was often pushed aside in favor of other necessities. However, to remedy this, free movies were shown in dorms and some were spon- sored by CAB. These movies and concerts, provided by the concert series, provided an opportunity for social life. If one did have money, dinner and a movie were always available in Shawnee. Some even opted for the drive to Oklahoma City for a nice evening out. Some of the male population seemed slow to ask women out sometimes but twirp week was a solu- tion for this. Women were required to initiate dates for an entire week. This didn't mean that the female population always waited. Any week was free game for some liberated women.

Agee assumes presidential duties OBU welcomes new president It has been said that a leader will go through three stages during a leadership term: the honeymoon, competition, and then detachment. For President Bob R. Agee, in his first year as the thirteenth presi- dent of Oklahoma Baptist University, the honey- moon has just begun. In his first address to the student body in Septem- ber, Pres. Agee commented, 'iI'm delighted and ex- cited beyond description about the prospects of becoming one of you. Formerly the vice president for religious affairs and special assistant to the president for institutional planning at Union University in Jackson, Tenn., Pres. Agee expressed his dream for CEO to become a distinctively Christian university. The inauguration was held November 22, al- though Pres. Agee's term was effective Sept. 1. Sun- day night, Nov. 21, a special worship service was held for the president. Dr. William G. Tanner, former OBU president, spoke at the service. Dr. C. Harold Bennett, executive secretary- treasurer on the Executive Committee of the South- ern Baptist Convention was the main speaker for the inauguration. 58 i Pres. Agee Becoming a part of OBLI seemed to come natur- ally for Pres. Agee and his wife, Nelle. It wasnt un- common to see him playing racquetball in the No- ble Complex or to see the first couple taking a stroll around the campus during the evening. President Agee quoted in The Bison that the first step toward the realization of his dream for a dis- tinctively Christian university was to set a Christian tone or atmosphere. He said, If together we can affect an atmosphere of caring, we will simply treat others on campus in as Christ-like manner as possible. President Agee succeeded Dr. E.

To others, it was a sad reality of leaving friends and finally moving out on their own. Some 275 seniors graduated on the rainy May 14, as parents, family, and friends crowded into Potter Auditorium. Many seniors led in the program as a handbell choir played and others spoke or sang. Senior Doug Melton read Scripture and Sara McGee sang uThe Greatest of These is Love.

Dr. Franklin Pollard speaks to graduates as he recites part of Dr. Seuss. at lifels crises moments. Be the kind of people that make things happen. Dr. Pollard told the students to be aware of God, to be awake to Godls leadership, and to be available for Godis service. uTry hard to develop the Christian's sixth sense, which is to be constantly aware of God, he said. Realize that He is the God of the factory, farm and warehouse. He is with you always and everywhere. Pollard said that, like Moses at the time God asked him to lead the people of Israel, individuals some- times doubt their capacity to do great things. uWe use so little of our abilities, he said. uWe need to be awake to the great things that God wants us to do. Your ability to achieve is in direct proportion to your relationship with the most important person in your life. When God is the most important person, you know you are loved, and when you are loved, you are free to accomplish the greatest things your heart wishes to do. In his charge to the graduating class, President Bob Agee encouraged the graduates to umove beyond this moment with hope and courage. ul challenge you to use what you have learned as foundation blocks on which you will build with con- tinuous learning for the rest of your life. Dare to be distinctive. Dare to walk in faith believing that God will use you to make a difference in your world. Eight students received baccalaureate hoods, signifying special academic achievement. Receiving hoods for the completion of honors projects were Richard Adams, Scott F loyd and Susan Jones. Floyd also graduated summa cum laude, which requires a minimum grade point average of 3.96 and a maximum of one B in a college career. Others receiving hoods for graduating summa cum laude included Teresa Burgess, Paul Harvey, Janay Moody, Ruth Smith, and Rance Wadley.

Graduation l 61 Ki 7 u m Spirtl Leif Growth seemed to epitomize the opportunities that were available in students' spirutal life. Being a Christian university, OBU placed more of an em- phasis on spiritual growth than many universities do. Some mission volunteers spent their summer in Spain with Dr. John Tresch, vice president for religious life. Other students spent their summer as home missionaries across the states. Missions were here in Oklahoma also. Ministerial Educa- tion days were observed in state churches throughout the year and provided the chance for many students to go into Churches to preach and sing. 080 Day in the Churches spread the theme, Partners in Mission and Ministry. In his inaugural address, President Agee said, A Christian university is not a dispensary of secular information accom- panied by a few religious activities and a religion department . . . Our university is set apart to produce informed, articu- late, sensitive men and women who are able to communicate Jesus Christ to a broken, hopeless world We thrust people into the world bearing the challenge to tell the Good News wherever they are. in one year, students ministered to thousands of people. The spiritual growth students encountered at school helped others to grow and will become a continual process. Angelli Angel!!! Dean Emeritus of the College of Fine Arts, Warren M.

Wednesday. The scene: many students emerging from dormitories, Shaw- nee Hall, Thurmond Hall and various other buildings around campus, to join the exodus of students and faculty members headed in the direction of Raley Chapel. It was time for their weekly ChapeV Assembly program. Many interesting events occurred in this required hour of togetherness designed to promote student unity. A variety of speakers addressed the student body, including President Bob Agee, Dr. Joe lng- ram, G. Webster Carroll, and Dr. Bailey Smith. In addition to speakers, the programs included more chapel-type settings than in previous years Busy sidewalks are seen weekly coming to and from Raley Chapel on Wednesday mornings.

Spirit Day enhanced school morale on the eve of Homecoming weekend while the Hobbs Lecture sought to strengthen Baptist principles. ChapeVAssembly is an experience unique to Christian institutions and is a symbol of the dedica- tion to service that exists deep within the motivation- al forces of each student and alumni. Each week these feelings were reinforced through diverse pro- grams which highlighted the middle of a busy week.

Dr. Drummond is the Billy Graham profes- sor of evangelism at Southern Seminary. Hyde Park Day assembly was held on April 6. This emphasized the Student Government Association elections by presenting the officer candidates for the upcoming year. Dr. Glen Stassen was the honored speaker in an April Chapel. He spent the past year in Europe studying the Euro- pean peace movement. - The College of Fine Arts and the School of Christian Service allowed stu- dents to lead in two separate chapels.

Later one of their vans had an accident, injuring most of the passengers. 68 Accidents strike campus Sometimes in life, tragedy and acci- dents happen. However, it is often through the pain that important human growth occurs. They are always unexpected and never easy to forget. This was the case during the year, as different tragedies occurred on campus. On Monday, April 25, junior Robbie Davis of Moore was killed in a weightlift- ing accident at the local YMCA. Davis was lifting by himself when the barbells fell across his neck and crushed his wind- pipe. Memorial services were held in the chapel the day of his funeral and the campus flag was flown at half mast. Robbie was a member of the Zeta Pi Lambda social club. Club members attended the funeral and sang the club song at the end of the service. During spring break, another accident happened. Some of the Delta Tau Alpha members were returning from a trip to Padre island when their van hit a tele- phone pole. Most of the injuries required only a few stitches, but one freshman, Randy Smith, remained out of school for the rest of the spring semester due to a back injury. Other injuries that, in comparison may seem minor to some people, also affected much of the campus. Henry Wright, the leading scorer for the Bison basketball team, broke his ankle before the BNC game. Sharon Blaney experi- enced injury during the Stampede of Stars competition and underwent knee surgery the next week. There were many other disappoint- ments and trials throughout the year. Some of them were harsher than others. Remembering those bad times is not always easy and not always desirable. But the pain can serve as an instrument for individual growth. A broken ankle kept basketball leading scorer Henry Wright out of most of the district action during January and February.

Kuulvnsl i nu Students prepare for life of missions ul want to be a missionary when I grow up! This answer to the question of, uWhat are you going to do with your life, seemed to be growing in popularity as a result of Bold Mission Thrust. Many stu- dents came for the sole purpose of pre- paring for missions as a vocation. There were around 10 students who were majoring in either home or foreign missions. These new majors combined religion with the social sciences to give students a broad foundation for seminary work. However, not all the missions volun- teers were missions majors. There were people in every area of study, from music to biology, who were preparing for a life of mission service. 125 of these were active in Mission Fellowship. Mission Fellowship worked to involve more than 50 MK's, missionary kids, in their activities. The MK's, through various panel discussions, were able to give a first-hand description of life on the mis- sion field. The fact that many of these MK's returned to their parents' Alma Ma- ter was an indication of leadership in the area of missions. There were two new students on cam- pus who were especially interested in pre- paring for the mission field. Ed and Mary Horton, the missionaries-in-residence from Nairobi, Kenya, spent their furlough preparing to go back to the field. Mrs. Horton saw the need for trained mission- ary nurses and decided to spend her time getting a nursing degree. Mr. Horton took Greek and some seminary courses, be- cause he wanted to take advantage of every opportunity of preparation for ser- Vice. Missions was not just preparation for some time in the future. Missions happen and several different groups were in- volved in doing missions rather than just studying about it. One group of students came back to school sponing white jack- ets with a world soccer cup emblem. They had spent six weeks in Spain doing mis- sion work. The consensus was that God had to take them there to make them more aware of the needs here. Another group of students came back after spending their summer as mis- sionaries around the United States. Their experiences ranged from resort missions in Sun Valley, Idaho to inner-city missions in St. Louis, Missouri. Some of these stu- dents were sponsored by the Home Mis- sion Board while others were supported through the Baptist Student Llnion tBSLD. The BSU raised money for missions by various activities such as pledges, penny banks and box lunch sales. They were also actively involved in missions around the Shawnee area. Their ministries in- cluded working with the elderly, tutoring for area children, and working with young people at the Mission Center in Oklaho- ma City. In these activities, they showed Godls love by meeting the physical and social needs of individuals. Missions was a vital force on our cam- pus. This stems not only from the prepa- ration of missionaries, but also from a commitment to put missions into action. Darlene Flaming Missions T 71 72 Ministry Students seek to minister The car rolled down the highway as four OBU ministerial students headed for a revival where they were to preach and sing. This was a common occurrence for many OBU students who participated in Ministerial Education Days. These days were ones during which different churches in the Baptist Association had min- isterial students lead the worship service in their churches for a day. Under the direction of Nat Bettis, the program gave many students preaching experience. Roderick Fulenwider, a sophomore reli- gion major said, After talking to friends at other Baptist schools, OBLFs program far excells the others in helping students gain practical experience. This program allowed the students to apply what they had been learning. Another area of ministry was a group of students who led a Young Life group at Shawnee High School. These OBLI stu- dents took time out of their busy sched- ules to help share Christ with high school students. The Young Life leaders met i1- and planned their program for the week. Then they met another night with the high school students to carry out their plans. Their meetings included songs, skits and short messages to introduce the kids to Christ. The Young Life leaders tried to involve themselves with the high schoolers by also attending the high school basketball and football games. Overall, the CEO students tried to get to know the high school kids and develop friendships with them as an area of minis- try. Another area of ministry by OBLI stu- dents was the Phi Omega Sigma social club's ministering at the Colonial Estates nursing home. The girls went to the home weekly to help the people become more active. Exercise classes were de- veloped by the members who enjoyed mingling there and ministering to their needs. Many areas of ministry were found as students sought to help out in their com- munity. : 9,, .i ,. Enthusiasm characterizes Marge Caldwell as she leads a BSU weekend conference.

The stories are reprints from various pub- lications. PaPi-mutuel goes through Voters who go the the polls Tuesday, Sept. 21, will have the opportunity to vote on State Question 553. This question deals with legalizing pari-mutuel gambling in Oklahoma. As the law reads now, horse races in Oklahoma are legal. An Associated Press release said Oklahoma has more horses per capita than any other state. However, in Oklahoma it is illegal to place a bet on a horse race. One argument supporting Question 553 is the added income it could bring to the state. Mike Williams, spokesman for the Oklahoma Horsemenls Association, was quoted in the AP story as saying, Horses are the third largest industry in the state, yet we have to send the horses and the horse- men out of state. Williams thinks that Oklahoma would re- ceive about $3.5 million in direct racing taxes during the first year of legalized pari- mutuel racing. On the other hand, Dr. Joe L Ingram, executive director of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, said in the press release that nowhere, except Nevada, does a gambling operation contribute more than four percent to a state budget. Opponents say that pari-mutuel betting would bring more crime to the state than would be offset by an increased tourist trade. In the September Baptist Smoke Signals, associational missionary James Maxwell stated in his column, HA vote for this 553 is a vote for crime, gambling syndi- cate control, and all that goes with this type of corruption. The issue has come up before in Oklaho- ma. The AP story said voters turned down a pari-mutuel proposal in 1974 by 60,000 votes. tNote: Pari-mutuel betting was legalized Sept. 21 by a large marginJ Sarah Zimmerman OBU Bison 74 l Denominational Hews Women deacons ok The role of the woman in the local Southern Baptist Church has been the subject of discussion and controversy of late due to the recent actions of the First Baptist Church of Oklahoma City. According to Baptist Press, the 5,000 member church voted to change its church by-laws in order to allow women to become ordained deaconesses. The pastor, Gene Garri- son, said a committee made a two-year study of the scripture involved and finally presented the issue to the church for a vote. The by-law previously read, uThe ac- tive board of deacons shall be made up of 45 men all of whom must be mem- bers of First Baptist Church for one year? Under the revision, which was approved by a vote of 232-1 67 Jan. 16, the byelaw reads, The active board of deacons shall be made Up of 45 per- sons all of whom must be members of First Baptist Church for one year.n Reaction to this action has varied. Bailey Smith, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention and pas- tor of First Southern Del City, stated, ul stand opposed to the ordination of women as deacons. I believe when a church starts doing those things it has quit majoring on the main thing . . . evangelism and soul winning. Local reaction to this vote by Okla- homa Cityls F irst Baptist is also varied. For University Baptist Church and pastor Glen Pence, the issue has already been settled. uln December of '79 our congregation voted to change its by-laws and make ordination avail- able to women, said Pence. Women have been on our ballots and have re- ceived votes. Our church did this joyfully and willingly. Pastor of First Baptist Church in Shawnee, Joe Brown, stated that while he was personally open to it, he sees ordination of women as a complicated issue. Brown noted that Southern Baptists have been commissioning women missionaries for years without prob- lems. 'lWe think because weive changed the term weive done some- thing different, he said. tiCommis- sioning means God setting aside this person for ministry. That's what ordina- tion means. On the other hand, Richard Gay, pastor of Shawneels Calvary Baptist Church, said, tilt is not scriptual. l think that they have blatantly gone against the general opinions of the Baptists about what scripture teaches. Likewise, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Vic Ceme, did not agree with the change. I think theylve stretched their interpretation of scripture. None of the pastors interviewed fore- saw the controversy as being a splitting issue within the convention. Each pas- tor emphasized the autonomy of the local church. 0.8.

Baptist Messenger Oct. 14. 1982 WA.

On the occasion of his 38th anniversary in the pulpit of the Dallas church, the largest con- gregation in the Southern Baptist Convention, Criswell for the first time publicly lashed out at the so-called llliberals in the three-year-old debate on biblical authority which has threatened to split the nation's largest Protestant denomination.

The churchls building site covers some 63 acres of land in Midwest City and Oklahoma City limits. The Air Force opposes building the church on the site because the site lies in a zone identified as hazardous for iipeople intensive use. Last November, Bailey Smith, pastor, Jim Lee, a deacon at the church and an attorney, told the Oklahoma City planning commissioners last week that their action would force a lawsuit to protect the church's legal standing and its $4.2 million investment in the building site. Col. Kenneth D. Waits, Tinker AFB com- mander, has provided flight figures showing the Air Forces largest planes would be 340 feet above the proposed churchis roof as they take off on the alternate runway. The church has already cleared the build- ing site and done a large amount of prelimi- nary ground preparation for the building project.

Alwaysbefore I had been Mom and Dads daughter, Steve's sister, leader in the Church youth group and popular high school student. Those things made no difference now. 76 i Personal Growth The search for my identity through roommates and other people failed as roomies transferred and other rela- tionships ended. Through each personal interaction I learned more of my strengths and weaknesses, but found no answer to the question, uWho am I? Becoming involved in activities seemed like a good idea, at least it kept me busy enough that I had no time to dwell on the question of my identity. Ev- ery minute of every day was scheduled with classes and activities. Life seemed like one long meeting, with home work being the only break from the routine. Yet, time consuming activities brought no real fulfillment, much less a key to my personhood. Plato's divided line made me wonder if life was even real. Are we existing in a fantasy world? Descartes said, I think, therefore I am. In my life it was more like, I think I think, therefore, I think I am. On the other hand, the fact that I am seemed obvious. The question was who am 1? Maybe the answer was in Nat Sci. Am I myself because of the dominant or recessive traits passed on to me through my parents chromosomes? That may explain why I have the physical character- istics l have, but why do I think, feel and behave the way I do? It slowly became clear that my true personhood could not be found in peo- ple, activities or academics. Those change as often as the Oklahoma weath- er, and my character must be more stable than that. Instead my character must be cen- tered around One who never changes. 1 found my identity in the One who makes the sun set in the west, regardless of whether it sets over the fieldhouse or the Noble Complex. Tomorrow the sun I see may set over a big city skyline or sink slowly into a prairie horizon.

Personal Growt Churches satisfy universal need for love Love - the universal need. Students all wanted to feel needed and loved - and the area churches satisfied this need. Away from home where family and friends usually made one feel important and loved, it was easy to feel like a small speck in a sea of people at school. But many area churches reached out to stu- dents and showed them they were impor- tant. The churches provided the students with a home away from home. Although many students sought a church identical to their home church and could not find one, there was a vari- ety of places to worship. One of the larger churches was First Baptist Church, Shawnee, who reached out to the stu- dents and taught them that a human needs four hugs a day to survive and 12 to grow. Ellen Odle joined First Baptist because, lllt is home to me now - l feel like I belong there. live really gotten in- volved this past year and it has brought me closer to the people. Another area church that introduced students to warm fuzzies was Immanu- el Baptist Church. A warm fuzzie was a feeling of love to be gotten and given away to others, and lmmanuel reached out and put one huge warm fuzzie around the OBLI students. Greg Jones said, Hi like lmmanuel because of its warmth and how the Holy Spirit j ust wraps around you there. it makes me feel like part of a big family e everyone takes care of you. Both lmmanuel and First Baptist offered an adoption program to students where a church family adopted a student for the school year. Many smaller churches also reached out to the students and offered love. Brian McMath attended Oklahoma Ave- nue Baptist Church and joined there be- cause, Thatis where God led me and wanted me. Also the people are super and there is a feeling of love and unity. Brian shared the love he received from the church in its bus ministry on Saturday mornings. Gary McDevitt, Youth Director at Fair- view Baptist Church, attended there be- cause, uThe fellowship is good. A smaller church allows me to become more a part of the worship service. There's also more for you to do for your church. The rela- tionship between the congregation and students is a lot closer in a small church. There were many other churches in the area for students to attend. But no matter where the students attended, they all offered students a place to belong and to be loved. Oklahoma Avenue Baptist Church provides a place for Terri Granger to serve. College Council at lmmanuel Baptist Church includes Dean Grayson and Beth Davis as they discuss upcom- ing plans for the college department. 78 l Area Churches To the rescue.

While many college students at other schools spent much of their time involved in activities rather than in studying, at OBU it paid to spend time cracking the books. Academic excellence came not only from the different departments in which students chose to major, but also in many of the required courses, such as those in the Unified Studies program. For many students, the Unified Studies courses would be the most remembered - a reason that many fought so hard to keep those courses from being eliminated during the years curriculum revision. The Unified Studies program did receive a re-examination and revision. Students answered polls, talked to faculty members and stood up for the courses which they felt were most vital. Surprisingly, the course which students felt was most important was the one most students dreaded e Western Civilization. There was more to academics than Unified Studies. With over 50 majors from which to choose, students found a good variety. They also found good facilities and good professors. The reputation for academic excellence hasnlt changed - its just growing. A Reputation That's ' Growing . Quiet studying could sometimes be found in the learning center. Charlie Harrisberger studies for an upcoming test. During test times many students grouped together in study rooms. Casual conversation was a common sight in.the main lounge of the library. Denise Licklider looks over notes for a class. Stu- dents used the lounge to catch up on a newspaper or a magazine when free time allowed. 82 t Learning Center Learning Centers use expand Students visited the Learning Center for other reasons besides talking or studying. As the rest of the school expanded, the Learning Center was not left behind. Big changes came to the library, such as more computers. l'We are trying to automize the library over the next five years, said Dr. Benson, director of the library. This automiza- tion project would include doing away with the card catalog and replacing it with computer terminals that would have all the books, periodicals and government documents on its files. Plans also include setting up terminals in each dorm to save students from making trips to the library to look up a book. The library enhanced the Media Center by adding video and sound equipment. Plans were made to buy the necessary equipment to be able to broadcast television programs and to make tapes of events for later broadcasts. Dr. Benson said, uWe may some day have our own cable television channel. The library subscribed to over 650 periodi- cals and 14 different newspapers. The total num- ber of books and bound periodicals came to 167, 033. There was an unnumbered amount of Baptist publications and the Archives co tion contained anything one would wan know about OBLI's history.

Do thesetsymptoms sound familiar? To hundreds of students these symptoms became reality at least half a dozen times a semester. What is this most fatal of all illnesses? What causes this horrid anxie- ty? Put simply, it is the test. Every student was familiar with those prof- designed traps, built to confuse, upset and in some warped unrealistic way, evaluate intelligence and knowledge. The test. Loved by the learned and cocky; hated by the lazy and feared by the normal. Though varied and unique, the several types of test takers were familiar to most and easily recog- nized by all. The most obvious type was the palm sweater. Usually this student is one who has spent hard hours studying in front of the TV or at the Geiger Center. The hand is often cramped due to long hours of holding a pen but never using it. Once faced with the test, the palm sweater fidgets, squirms, whispers hail Maryls and wonders why a nice guy like him is having to suffer. lnevitably his biological handicap causes him to lose his grip not only on his pencil but also on reality. A second type of test taker was the over- achiever. Although equipped with the best inten- tions, his meticulous methods often left his peers angered at his curve setting habits. When a teacher warned of a minor multiple choice quiz, the over-achiever spent Friday and Saturday nights just making sure that he was iifamiliar with the material. Unfortunately this mild-mannered and exclusively cocky creep usually carried out his threat, aced the test with minimal nervous twitches, yet humbly declared how simple it all was. As previously mentioned, these are not the most popular of folk. The most common type of test taker, however, was the basic average kind of guy who gave it his best shot at the beginning of the semester and ended up nervously taking his chances at the end of the semester. Always a little anxious, the average Joe plugged away hoping for a break, but usually didnt do better than breaking even. Though styles and approaches differed and the tests themselves provoked hives and dizzy spells, these types of evaluations will exist as long as organized education does. Whether a palm sweater, an over-achiever or just a regular run of the mill kind of guy, cheer up; there will always be another test to take. Sharon Anthony Taking Tests l 85 In the beginning . . .

Another addition to the nursing school was Bet- ty Gorrell, hospitalized child instructor, who moved from a part time to full time position. This past year, 98 students were enrolled in the nursing program. The increased enrollment was partially due to a new Flex-Track program where R.N.'s could come back to OBLI for two years to receive their Bachelor of Science de- gree.

Designed to create a balanced cation for every student, the Unified Studies gram is unique. Most, if not all, of an under- sman's first two years are spent, not in their sen area of concentration, but in classes igned to make each student more aware of many different influences that will affect the of his life. 'ecause so much time was spent in Unified dies many students agreed that they were the st memorable. Students found the most orious Unified Studies class was 'iWestern ilization. Despite the infamous attitude re- ted in the nickname, thestern Civ, most of survivors of Civ admitted that their per- al experiences were not all that bad and that y held fond memories of the many hours nt in class. 'European Civilization: History was but one he diverse subject areas covered in this com- hensive program. Math, foreign languages, glish, religion, fine arts, as well as physical education sought to enhance each student's mental and physical capacities. Unified Studies courses were not taught entirely through books. Math classes were introduced to computers through hands-on experience; foreign lan- guage classes enhanced their understanding by listening to prepared tapes in the listening lab and Freshman English classes caught up on world events by taking out subscriptions to Newsweek. Meanwhile, philosophy classes probed abstract ideas by way of lectures and classroom discussions, psychology classes performed stress tests while blindfolded, PE classes took advantage of the new Noble Com- plex, economics classes earned extra points by watching films and European Civilization classes introduced students to the process of i'logical thinking in numerous ways. Even if they would not admit it openly, every student learned something about each subject they encountered. No matter how demanding the classes may have seemed, everyone was better off for having taken classes such as these, and they will most certainly be remembered. M m .

Opening concurrent with the fall term was the Tulsa Center. It offered courses to plexitors, church staff members and lay persons an e. Four new courses were offered to students. These courses were in evangelism, Southern Baptist missions, church youth work and in the Gospel of John. Two proposed courses were in business ethics and proper ethics in public affairs. The first endowed chairs were established in the fall. The two chairs were the Augie Henry Chair of Bible and the Ida Elizabeth and J.W. Hollums Chair of Bible. The recipients of these chairs were, respectively, Dr. Warren McWil- liams and Dr. James tBobT W. Evans.

The art department has cupied the former vocational rehabilitation ilding since January 1980. The expansion of building, to be completed in 1983, will add a llery, a student lounge, a conference room, ssrooms, and offices to the department ilding. More additions to the department have been luded in the course schedule. A stained glass 55 will be added, along with some changes in art history course. During the summer of 1982, a new kiln was ade by the students of the department. It rests the back of the building where it bakes cera- ic pottery, which J anie Wester instructed. The n was designed and constructed by Richard yd, a senior art major and Julie Blackstone, 0 works in arts, ceramics and design. Other dents participated in the construction. The ysical Plant installed the pipes for gas. Many non-art majors took an art class as an elective. Steve Hicks, art and drawing instructor, said, uThe intermingling of non-majors gave the art majors a chance to develop new rela- tionships with other students who are not a part of the department. The non-majors some- times gave the majors new ideas. At the same time, the art majors influenced and helped non- majors reach their goals. An addition to the department were those who majored in Public Relations, Education and Fine Arts. These peo- ple were required to take an art class as a part of their degree plan. There were many art people who also worked on drops and other art work for plays. This kind of experience was encouraged by art instruc- tors. Exhibiting art work by the students included competition and art shows. The spring semes- ter included senior art majors in an exhibition in the Mabee Learning Center. Kiln Opening was a First as students try out the new kiln. Quilt making became a busy class for art majors as well as non-art majors in Janie Wester's interim class on quilting.

Although the homework was light, on plans and preparation were continually e. he education department students did a lot re than draw circles and sticks. In fact, the artment affected the entire unified studies gram. A new bill, House Bill 1706, required hours of professional education courses. - to the law, the program went through changes that will begin in the fall of '83. Sharon Anthony, unified studies committee member, said that while the education department tried to eliminate some of the unified studies courses, the committee made compromises instead. Unified Studies classes that were con- sidered for change included Comparitjve Civiliza- tion, Modern Language and Natural Science. Another Change that affected education ma- jors was that they were no longer required to take the National Teachersi Exam. Dr. Carol Frosch, chairman of the education department, said that the teacher education committee voted in September to change the requirement as a result of a new law which required educa- tion students to take similar curriculum exams. Drawing sticks and circles in order to learn how to print correctly may have seemed like the lleasy life to most students, but the education majors knew that accomplishing those projects would help them throughout their careers.

Education t 99 One of the chosen few. Jeff Perry, Humani- ties major browses through his book after his Modern Thought class. 100 l Humanities Few Choose Humanities degree A common come back to the question, liWhatis your major? is iiUnified Studies. Most students are just kidding when they say this, but at least three students can say it with some degree of honesty. No, there really is not a major in unified stu- dies, but a Bachelor of Humanities degree comes close. Sometimes the best way of defining some- thing is telling what it is not. The Bachelor of Humanities degree is not a concentration in the histoxy of music and art. This misconception stems from the Fine Arts course which is often referred to as Humanities. The Bachelor of Humanities degree is also not a concentration in the division of Humani- ties. The division of Humanities contains the de- partments of English, journalism and modern languages. This is part of the Bachelor of Humanities degree, but is not all of it. Well then, what is a humanities degree? According to the catalogue, iiThe Bachelor of Humanities degree is designed to emphasize self-fulfillment, a deeper and broader under- standing of the complex modern world and the human resources that may be drawn upon to Solve the personal and social problems of our ay. In other words, the purpose of the degree is to help the individual to see a unity in what is going on in the world around him and to understand how he can contribute to that process. To achieve this purpose, the Bachelor of Humanities program allows the individual to Choose from a wide variety of course offerings. He is required to take all of the Unified Studies courses. The area of concentration is made up of selected courses in the areas of English, History, Religion, Philosophy, Sociology, Busi- ness Administration, Art, Education and For- eign Language. Each Bachelor of Humanities degree is dif- ferent because it reflects the interests of the individual. Because the program is made up of courses from many different departments, there are some problems. One of these is scheduling. Each department tries to schedule courses so that the people in that area of concentration can fit into their schedule all the courses they need. However, when one is taking courses from five different departments, there are inevitably scheduling conflicts. This the Bachelor of Hu- manities program teaches students to make choices between two good things. Another problem is in the courses them- selves. Each discipline has its own terminology and even when the words are the same the meaning may be different. Sometimes it re- quires mental gymnastics to keep the concepts straight. In spite of these problems, the students in the Bachelor of Humanities program find it reward- ing not only in the academic area, but also in the area of relationships. Once a person starts in his area of concentration, he tends to have all the same people in his classes. By taking courses in different areas, the per- son working toward a Bachelor of Humanities degree is exposed to a new set of people in each different class. This also helps to broaden a person's perspective. Sounds like a wonderful program, but what does one do with it? After all, a biology major becomes a biologist x and a journalism major becomes a journalist, so what does a person with a Bachelor of Huma- nities degree become? A human? A humanist? To be quite honest, the Bachelor of Humani- ties degree does not prepare one for a specific career. However, it is a good preparation for graduate school in almost any area and for careers deal- ing with people and ideas where it is beneficial to know something about everything. 80 next time someone remarks that he is getting a degree in Unified Studies; watch out, it may be one of the rare species of Humanities majors.

He con- ed, i1ltls almost twice as much as last year. course enrollment has nearly tripledf' r. Rutledge doesn't take credit for this great ease though; he attributes it at least in part to possible sociological changes. Other changes in the department are a result of the new curriculum changes which will take effect in the 1983 fall semester. Both majors and minors in the fields of sociology, anthropol- ogy and social work will be offered. Currently, there are degrees in sociology, anthropology and social work. In February, Dr. Rutledge took 52 OBU soci- ology students to the Tet festival, the Viet- namese new year celebration, in Oklahoma City. There were approximately 4,000 Viet- namese present. The new years celebration welcomed in the Vietnamese Year of the Pig. One of the many festivities included was the candle dance. Another of Dr. Rutledgels class trips was when the Race and Ethnics Relations class went to see the movie Gandhi. Following the film, the class went to Dr. Rutledge's house to dis- cuss the social implications of the ideas the movie presented. Dr. Rutledge also worked with two 080 pro- fessors on a 30 minute documentary on Viet- namese family life in Oklahoma City. The pro- gram, designed to help in the understanding of the Vietnamese culture, featured the relocation, mental health, religion and communication dif- ficulties Vietnamese families encounter. The documentary was completed in June, said Dr. Rutledge, and the first showing was scheduled for July. There are 13 planned showings, and other states requested copies of the film, Dr. Rutledge added. Trust in classmates are a must for students in Dr. Oscar Jeskels Psychology class.

' . ; When the word biology is brought up, a surprising amount of people consider themselves semi-authorities on the subject since they once dissected frogs or fetal pigs in high school. Sorry folks, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. A biology degree covers an amazing range of course and subject matter that the high school biology eacher forgot to mention when encourag- ing th- study of uthe fun and exciting field of bioioc . The course of study for biology majors consists mainly of chemistry and biology courses, but other delightful delicacies, such as physics and calculus, are thrown in fortexcitement. Dr. James Hurley and Dr. effrey Black taught all of the biology ourses, while Dr. Dick Canham and Dr. ohn Mills taught the chemistry. t Though biology was a relatively small epartment, it continued to do its part in preading the reputation of 0803 aca- uemic excellence. in February, seven stu- . ents, all of Dr. Blackis environmental bioi- ugy class, traveled to the annual meeting a e Oklahoma Collegiate Academy of a -nce to give presentations over their idual research projects, which r stgdies of the feeding he, Biology broadens awareness toads and frogs to the habitat preferences of different species of tarantulas.

Though it seemed most biology majors were aiming for medical school, the biology program gave each student a general back- ground which prepared him for any gradu- ate biology work. Each student learned through courses ranging from botany to genetics to become at home both in the lab and the outdoors. Some semesters were spent working with test tubes and lookingat scores of bacterial colonies or fruit flies. During another semester, however, one may have found himself soaking wet at 6 am. in the middle of grassy fields, picking up live traps filled with uncooperative cotf ton rats or an occassionai skunk.

To most, it was foreign, but to the computer math students, it was part of their lives. As eight terminals were hooked up to the Hewlett Packard 3000, computers began to take up more room in the Learning Center. They expanded from one room to two, and included four Apple computers, two line print- ers and eight terminals. These computers were located on the third floor of the Learning Center, while the Hewlett Packard 3000 had its own room in Thurmond Hall's basement. To expand the use of its new computers, a computer camp for kids over the summer was offered. Teacher computer seminars were al held to teach the faculty how to use compute The Computer Math department grew t year as four Computer degrees were offer and a new assistant professor was added - Richard Alexander.

The tutoring program was a free program designed to aid students in their classes in any way possible. This aid may be to clarify some- thing students didn't catch in class or to give special help to someone who didn't quite understand how a math formula worked. Some tutoring classes ended up to be quick review sessions right before a big test. Tutoring was usually offered for classes in the Unified Studies area, as well as math courses and chemistry courses. One student tutor commented that tutoring helped students because sometimes it was easier to hear from a student what they had learned, rather than just how the teacher saw it. Many students attended tutoring to reinforce a grade and make a better grade rather thanjust because they needed help. Two other special programs on camp affected a small amount of students also. The two programs included seniors, but two very different ways. One was the senior recitals for music maj . Practice for recitals became long and hard they polished their skills as a requirement graduation. Receptions usually followed the recitals a included family and friends. A very distinct program was the honors p gram. Three seniors completed honors p jects and were awarded bachelor hoods at gr uation for their papers.

Gym completions are made by workers over the summer months. changes It started with a couple of buildings e Mont- gomery Hall, Shawnee Hall and WMU Dormi- tory. Since the school was founded in the early 20th century to the latter part, the physical changes on the campus have continued its ex- pansion and growth. The past two years have included extensive Changes in the appearance, inside and out, of new and existing buildings. ,. 3 The changing process began four years ago with the renovations of Brotherhood and WMU dormitories. From that point, significant spots on campus were greatly improved or constructed. If an alumnus were to return after not seeing the campus for 20 years, he would not easily recog- nize it. Many changes even in the past year were very evident to campus visitors. The $3.5-million Noble Complex opened for its first year of use in the fall. The center houses Bison varsity athletics and also has individual accomodations. It includes a 25-meter swim- 1 10 l Campus Changes Growth causes campus ming pool, four racquetball courts, a hu performance lab and an Athletic Hall of Fa Married student housing also was avail for the first time on campus.

For some students that was not unusual. For others organizations did not play an important part for them. But with the size of the campus and the number of organizations that were around, one could hardly escape from being involved in something. The number of clubs grew from previous years and the number of students involved also grew. Some organizations were for social growth and others made Etudents more aware of the growing needs that surround em. There was almost something for everyone who wanted to get involved in an organization. Some were based on the vocation one was interested in. Business clubs, education clubs, and music clubs were just a few that gave students the Chance to discuss their majors and their career goals. Other clubs offered the chance for students to get to know students outside their area of concentration. Social Clubs had the intention of doing just that. There were even two new clubs formed. The social clubs allowed students the chance to broaden their friendships and become involved in ever-increasing student activities. Student government was also undergoing Changes. Rewriting some of the constitution and updating new rules were just a part of their activities. Organizations were not just to fill up time though. They allowed students the chance to grow in the area of friendships and also the area of being socially aware. Groups Ladybug club. Gamma Phi's, talk to Arlene Phipps about fall pledging.

Phi Omega members Jana Williams and Ruby Bush sample lemonade. Inspired by ttChariots of Fire, a new tradition was born on Bison Hill. Headed by Alan Parker, Organization Day was held after the freshmen-upperclassmen tug-of-war and football game on September 11. The thought behind the fair was to let students view what each club and organization on campus had to offer. The president from each club met in advance and planned the fair. An outdoor luncheon was set up on the porch of the Geiger Center; while each club manned a booth, displaying their para- phernalia on the lawn in front of the Mabee Learning Center. Each club did something different. Beta Beta Beta sold plants, the Bisonette Glee Club played a tape of songs they had recorded last year while some clubs had lemonade and cookies. The back- packing club set up a tent with other camping equip- ment. The drama deaprtment had .characters in costume walking through the crowd. Even though the crowd was not particularly large, Alan Parker thought the day was a success and hoped the fair would be used again next year. Organization Dayr 115 Election time is run by Jeff Perry, as Helen Graham, Ruth McCutchin and Paula Smathers vote. SGA governs campus politics Student Government Asso- ciation; headed by president Alan Parker, made its share of Changes on campus. Parkefs aim for SGA was to build it up and use it as a bridge between administra- tion and students. SGA also involved other bodies such as Senate, headed by SGA vice president Jeff Work; Cabinet, headed by Alan Parker; and the Student Court. The Senate worked on such items as changing the time the apart- ments would be open fromt noon to possibly 10 or 1 1 am. Although much debate went on, no decision was made One positive change, espe- cially for those who liked to cook everything fromt spaghetti to pancakes in their rooms, was the OK of hotpots in dorms.

Reasons vary for club pledging The enticement of food brought many students scur- lying to the gatherings held in the early spring. The, promise of social interaction appealed to others. And yet for some, the chance to serve in the community was a primary reason for pledging a social club. Pledging different clubs meant different things, but the average Joe or Jane pledge was certain to have character- istics known only to pledges. The female pledge com- monly was distinguished from a member by a yellow, blue, red, and almost every other color of ribbon tof course, it had to berworn right sight upl 132 l Pledging and the dreaded pledge book. The pledge book became sacred to some as they clutchedthem from the hands of an unsuspecting brother club pledge. They were also characterized by their weari- ness from making appoint- mentss'and finding signatures. For others, it was a memo- rized club motto, or learning their pledge verse. Men pledging was some- what different than the w0men social Clubs that existed. And each male club, had their own set of distinctive qualities. They could be seen doing push ups, carrying paddles, or even wearing a suit to chapel, but they all were identified with their certain club. To some, pledging was seen as an insecurity. But for rthe students involvedtwith so- i lcial clubs, pledging br0ught about a closeness with a group of people with different majors, all working toward a eommdn goal, whether it be having a party or raising money for the needy. For some it was getting thrown in the lake: F9! others, it was a skating partinith their brotherlsister club. But they all brought people closer together and formed a growth of social activity among the , students on campus.

Among the projects were compiling a food basket at Thanksgiving and Easter for a needy family. They also made visits to the Colonial Estates Nursing Home and took favors to the residents.

That used to be about the only sport one thought of when OBU athletics were mentioned. It's still important - basketball, that is. It brought the biggest audiences even when test clays followed game nights. But the reputation of sports has grown and is still growing. Not only were varsity sports important, but keeping fit in general took on new meaning. With the opening of the Noble Complex, students began to actually workout in their sweats, rather than just wearing them to class. Almost everyday the racquetball courts were filled, and professors were seen running throughout Shawnee in i preparation for area marathons. In was a year of fitness. New physical education Classes were started, and they usually were full. Varsity sports were growing in their reputation, mainly-in the area of womenls sports. The volleyball and softball teams, under their new head coach, Teresa Bringham, improved upon their already growing reputation. The Lady Bison basketball squad even tested its talents in a tough schedule of opponents during an Interim trip to California, where the team played NCAA top-ranked University of Southern California. Spring sports also made improvements. The baseball team sold basketball programs to help finance the new baseball diamond, while the OBU tennis team was hard at work for yet another conference championship. OBU sports weren't looking down. The only word to describe the year in sports was growing. Frequent players Pres. Agee and John Fluke compete together during a moment of free time. The mayor speaks. Shawnee mayorJerry Ozeretny speaks dur- ing the dedication ceremony. 162 Noble Complex F aculty express their favorability of the Noble Complex Noble Complex opens in fall The Noble Complex has already proven to be a well used facility by many students. Students can be found on the basketball court, in the swimming pool and on the raquetball courts as well. But look a little closer, one might be surprised who else is using the facility. Who's that basketball player over there? His vigor and energy rival that of a 20 year old, but a closer look will reveal the face of an older man. Indeed, it could easily be Sladen Yarbrough, possibly with his son. Dr. Yarbrough managed to find the time to play basketball or raquetball three to four times a week during interim. And although the new semester de- manded more of his time, Dr. Yarbrough still planned to keep active by visiting the courts once or twice a week. A noon visit to the Noble Complex would reveal another interesting character. There, exercising in the pool, one would find Dr. Rowena Strickland. I can't swim a stroke, Dr. Strickland said, ubutlenjoy playing in the pool. Further examination of the Noble Complex facili- ties revealed the well known faces of such figures as Dr. Dale Soden and Dr. Bob Agee, Dr. Soden, a member of an intramural basketball team, also found time to occasionally go swimming. Dr. Agee, another familiar visitor at the Noble Complex, was a member of the faculty intramural basketball team, although he was perhaps most well known for his racquetball playing. Dr. Agee also planned to take advantage of the new swimming pool as soon as his schedule allowed. All agreed that having the Noble Complex on campus has made a difference in their usage of such a facility. ul use to go to a spa in Midwest City, but it's too far to drive, said Dr. Strickland. I also walked regularly, but live switched to swimming in the winter since the complex has opened. nIt's made a difference in how often 1 want to play raquetball, said Dr. Agee, iialthough it has not Changed the frequency of time in which I can play. ltls delightful to have it here, he added. Dr. Soden and Dr. Yarbrough both agreed that the availability of having such a complex on campus has made a difference to them. liltis been different only in the sense of knowing that I can participate, Dr. Soden said. Not only do these professors and administrators think that having the Noble Complex on campus has made a difference in their usage of such a facility, they felt that is was a good place to get to know students at a level different than that which their professional position allows. ul enjoy the difference, said Dr. Soden. You can get out of the role of teacher and into that of partici- pant; it's nice, he continued. uYou can make new acquaintances and although they are at a limited level, they are nonetheless important. iil do like to see students informally at such a level, said Dr. Strickland. I've made some new friends. Dr. Yarbrough said, ult moves the student-teacher relationship to the athlete-athlete relationship.n It breaks down barriers. Dr. Agee felt that the Noble Complex was most definitely a good place to know students at a differ- ent level. Special friendships with students and staff are made on the courts, he said. Hence, a close examination of the people using the Noble Complex facilities showed that not only students took advantage of the new complex, but many of the staff and the faculty are as well. The availability of the complex proved to be an advan- tage due to its convenience. In the words of Dr. Soden, st made a difference if only in the sense of knowing that I can play. Ribbon cutting ceremonies were held during the dedication of the complex.

The team played neighboring St. Greg- ory's two times and scrimmaged them twice. Other schools included Claremore Junior College, a national powerhouse that produced a 19-1 record the previous year before bowing out in the national playoff semi-finals. Hesston College, as evidenced by their 1-0 defeat by Claremore, was also a soccer club very skilled and a very experienced team that the club played.

The Bison had a total of eight double- headers or 16 games, either postponed or cancelled due to inclement weather. Wal- lace believed many of the problems the Baseball gets under the weather Bison experienced on the diamond this season, after two 20-plus campaigns, can be attributed to the showers. it was really tough on the guys this sea- son, Wallace said. Not only did we have more than half our games either cancelled or postponed, but with the amount of rain we had it was hard just finding days to practice. l'm proud of the men despite the record.

This scene was repeated several times a ay for one simple reason e people were etting into the fit of it. Whether it was on the racquetball courts, the pool, or playing intramurals, the ajority of students found some sort of dividual sport to participate in. Intramural sports were very important for any of the male population. Football, bas- etball, volleyball, and softball were the termediate and advanced positions. One of the main reasons for the upswing in athletic participation was due to the opening of the Noble Complex. Some felt that exercising was as routine as eating or going to class - for some it was even more important than class. Not everybody was a varsity athlete, but the exercise through individual sports kept the physical growth of many students from getting very big. Up for grabs.

Some believed in ERA, some were against nuclear arms and some even liked President Reagants policies. As there were individual personalities, there were individual interests. At first the freshman class may have seemed a bit out of place. But as the year continued, they began growing into the pace and lifestyle of the other students. The paces were different for each, but there were certain characteristics of each person on Bison Hill. The campus has the reputation of being friendly, and that reputation was evident to outsiders when they visited. There was also the reputation students had to keep in the area of academics. If one didnt get into studying, he probably got ttout of school. Other common interests of students were many of the on-and off-campus activities. Movies, dating and just goofing off were common interests, since OBU was not known for being a commuter college. The faculty were never left out either. They showed students that they had their own personalities as they conducted the faculty marching band and participated in intramural sports. Oh, there were many times when students disagreed on political, as well as social, issues but their reputation as 080 people continued to grow. iii? It'llt i.i.u:1::.:.tv 1.2... , Seniors sight end In black robes and with tear-filled eyes, with saddened hearts and high ambitions, the group exited. From a long and often painful struggle, these people have emerged as enlightened creatures ready to face the real world. No, this isnt a funeral or a birth, in the strictest sense of the words. it's graduation day for the 1983 seniors. After a four-year quest, these men and women have emerged ready to enter the professional arena. The journey, for most of them, began four years ago when they entered as fresh- men. The beginning was somewhat awk- ward as adjustments to a new living envi- ronment had to be made. For many travel- ers who came from all parts of the world, the adjustment was not only awkward, but very difficult, as cultural tuning took place. However, the dawn of orientation and the beginning of classes started the journey into full swing. Obstacles and barriers were constantly occuring along the way. The renaming of familiar sites - the University Center re- named the Geiger Center, Bel Air Apart- ments now Howard Residence Center - created the need for futher readjustments. Still unshaken, the group forged on. of journey Old Testament proved to be a tedious path. But when New Testament arrived, the end, for some journeyers, of this biblical route was readily visible. Freshman speech and philosophy proved to be cumbersome routes, but they too had to be crossed. Through the perils of Civ. and the won- ders of Hat. Sci, these journeyers wan- dered. Foreign language was a rather pre- carious path, but it too was faired safely. About halfway into thejourney, the group split up and ventured onward on separate paths. Sometimes these routes crossed i and, with words of encouragement and hope, the group continued on. After four years of struggling, the end of the journey was in sight. Hope was renewed again and the travelers hurried onward. Through resumes and letters of recom- mendation, throth graduate school ap- 47 i t plication forms and job interviews, this group trudged on. Now as it emerges into the warmth of the sunlight, the group sepa- rates into individuals, ready to embark on newjoumeys of their own, those of the adult world. This moment, a time of death to a famil- iar way of life, is the birth of a new begin- a ning.

Many students found homes in the campus apartments, including How- ard Residence Center, West Universi- ty Apartments, Jent Apartments and Parkway Apartments. It seemed, however, that there were never enough apartments to go around. Each semester Dean Lucy Brakefield sorted through student wait- ing lists as she decided who got in the apartments and who didntt. For many students, a big advantage of living in the apartments was living without the cafeteria food. Some stu- dents bought meal tickets and could visit the cafeteria if they wanted, but most chose to become the chefs of their own household. That sometimes meant no food, burnt food or a quick trip to Taco Bell, but for the most part, apartment-living students enjoyed the freedom of cooking for themselves. Another advantage students found in the apartments was the privacy not found in the dorms. At times, the priva- cy became seclusion and a casual jaunt tonly a half of a milet to the library to see some friends could make the evening a little more exciting. To make things more exciting, stu- dents enjoyed apartment living be- cause anybody could come over. With Stdnt fid hmes in four campus that advantage, students found it easier to have more privacy on dates and even the chance to entertain others. The rain and the snow were not a welcomed sight for apartment dwellers in West LI, and the lengthy walk to class found many girls opting for the drive to Shawnee Hall. Whether is was the advantage of cooking or the disadvantage of dis- tance, there were always students wanting the apartment life. More room in the apartments is one advantage for Janice Peters to live in West University Apart- ments.

Not only towards a particular male or female, but towards everyone. And this love is shared with others when a girl has a candle- lighting. Candlelightings are held when a girl receives a promise ring or an engagement ring. She then withholds the announcement of the event to others, except the dorm director, who keeps the secret and the ring until the candlelighting. The girls gather in the parlor and form a circle. The lights are turned out while the room fills with anticipation of the mystery engagement. The candle is lit and starts around the circle of girls. The candle stops at each girl who admires the ring dangling from the burning candle. Oohs and aahs are heard interrupting the song i'Tell Me Why, which is sung continuously throughout. Three times around the circle indicates an engagement, while only two times around indi- cates 'ipromising. After the indicated number of times pass, the girl claims her ring by blowing out the candle which reveals the mystery. This time of sharing celebrates the love of two whose lives will be share for life. Thejoy express- ed for the girl by others plays an essential role in the celebration. Candlelighting is just a part of the time in which can be said, H . .. and the greatest of these if love.

Those who came from states where there is frequent snow responded in a rather mellow attitude. On the other end were those who enjoyed the snow they had rarely seen before. After the snow made its appearance for a couple of days in February, some were ready to see it melt while others were content with its beauty and wanted it to stay. But with all the various responses, one was basically general. It was the thrill of the first big snow. Students forgot the homework for a few hours e long enough to build a snowman or have a good snowball fight. Others took an extra long dinner break when they could find old cafeteria trays and use them for sleds. Whether it was making a snowman, sledding down hills, or just throwing the snow, the little snow that occurred was a welcomed sight during the first part of the second semester.

But the most profound changes have come about in our individual lives. Many of our number have left Bison Hill. Some have transferred to other universities, seeking to be among the throng. Some have married. And others have gone to work in the real world, deciding that school was not their thing. Those of us who have re- mained in the 'ihallowed hall of this academic hermitage have struggled, dispaired, recovered, matured. ' As juniors, we have struggled through the Unified Studies courses we thought we would never wade through in order to get to what we felt we were really here for - our major. For others, this was easier said than done since they had been undecided majors, and the time had come to be one of the decided majors in order to graduate on time. Other areas of struggle included self-discipline e not being under par- ents' rule required one to impart wis- dom in staying out until 4 a.m. or get- ting in bed at a reasonable 1-2 am! Dispair characterized the feeling of us as sophomores as we undertook the dreaded Western Civ. However, we all survived this ordeal and found that we were braver than we orginally thought. This past year was one of recovery as we finally found a purpose in our being here e we finally got into our major area! For most of us, studying came easier as we saw a future usefulness in it. Dispair struck a few as degree checks were faced and plowed through. But we finally saw there was a light at the end of the tunnel e we might not be here for the rest of our lives! And the final result of all our experi- ences was a gained maturity. As juniors, we have one year left on Bison Hill. Behind us lies the E.P.E., Western Civ., philosophy, and Nat Sci. Before us . . . well, thatls our choice.

Kennedy Tulsa Kelly Kennedy Oklahoma City Bison Mascot represents spirit Technically, one might describe him as an oversized, physical manifestation of CEO pride and spirit. A more realistic description might be an gvgrsized, furry, stuffed animal that smells a . Actually, both descriptions are quite accu- rate. But, to limit the Bison mascot to such descriptions would be a great injustice. The Bison Mascot is many things to many people. For instance, to the coaches and the athletic players he is a supponer and a moti- vator. The Bison never misses home games and cheering the team whether it wins, loses or draws. To the referee, he is an antagonist. He waits in the corners of the court for a referee to make a bad call. If the referee should let' such a thing happen, the Bison Mascot was surely on his heels with an antagonizing antic. tie: the ueye charttt for those severely miopic refs that inevitably show up at every gamet. To the children who frequently attended the games, the mascot is a wonderful; living stuffed animal that chased them around. To the fans he is a cheerleader and an entertainer. He helps the cheerleaders with a cheer or makes people laugh. Combine all of these together and the Bison mascot becomes an instrumental part of one of OBUts oldest and finest traditions: basketball. He is that extra player, that extra cheerleader and that extra fan, always at the games giving 100 percent for the teams.

But with the opening of the Noble Complex, many job opportunities were opened for stu- dents. The jobs in the complex varied. Some students were lifeguards, while others worked at the front desk check- ing I.Dfs and checking out equipment. Sometimes being the door guard meant being the bad guy when stu- dents forgo? an extra pair of tennis shoes for racquetball. Many students found jobs there due to a survey that was taken in chapel last year. At the bottom of the survey it stated that if one was interested in working in the complex to sign his name and he would be contacted later. And many were contacted later. Over the summer, applications were sent to those interested and the stu- dents reported a week early for training prior to the beginning of the semester. To find one of the workers was not a difficult task. During working hours, the students sported green shirts with No- ble Complex Staff printed on them and during basketball season there were usually two workers checking for season passes. Some workers found the work fun, while others found it boring. But, work- ing at the desk allowed the employees time to catch up on homework or take time to talk to incoming friends.

TX v.1 $ Sophomores see changes in past L. year Sophomores are the students who harass freshmen at the first of the year. It has only been a year since they were fresh- men, and they wanted revenge. But they were not just' concerned about the social aspects of college, but it was a time to get serious about getting an education. Sophomores suddenly realized that they had taken almost all of their Unified Studies courses which brought a sign of distress to some - they had to declare a major! To some this transition was easy, yet for others it was a rough ride. The sophomores waited anxiously as the curriculum committee began to announce its changes in the Unified Studies program. The sophomores learned that the fresh- men were also going to have to sit through the 12 hours of Civ, but Nat Sci had been cut by two hours. Several other changes were made. The sophomore class was led by Tim Miller, president. Miller's goal was to unite the students, not only as a class, but as friends and family under God. The class was also led by Rodrick Fulenwilder, vice president; Dwayne Thompson, secretary; and Diana Schafford as treasurer. Carllse Cakes Watumka Carole Chaney Overland Park.

What is this thing that mesmerizes the brain tissue and swallows quarters quicker than you can say Pac Man? Of course, its only the popular video games. The lifestyle of Americans and even the average college student included the demands of the video game rooms and the home sets that have grown into a multi-billion dollar business. For many, it was the challenge of racking up the points, but for the aver- age once-a-month player, video games were just as common a form of entertainment as seeing a movie. Students found many area game rooms to satisfy their craving to play, from places such as Fat Richard's, the area Putt-Putt and even the CEO game room. Names of games also were as un- usual as the person who had never played.

These terms comprised the main vo- cabulary of the so-called OBU i'dieters. But these dieters, who claimed to be many, were in actuality only a few. The uin thing seemed to be diets e either talking about one, being on one, thinking about beginning one or putting a friend on one. And among most social cliques, the word lldiet sounded frequently, especially after a pig-out session the night before a test or after a midnight snack of pizza. But one would never know OBLlers went on diets from the frequent visits to Braums, Mazzios, The Baked Potato, etc. Many tried the new fad diets such as Cambridge. Those going this route were easily recognized by their shallow cheeks, sunken-in eyes, growling stomaches, and roving eyes at the sight of food. Others moved to the apartments to get away from the 'lfat- tening cafeteria food and desserts that could not be avoided. This, however, proved to be a mistake as many would end up baking cookies at 3 am. to satisfy an urge. Those living in dorms also found their way around rules and managed to cook everything from grilled cheeses to cakes in their popcorn poppers. So diets were not easily undergone anywhere on campus. But, C'est la vie. Diet is just another four letter word. Nutritional can of Cambridge was a familiar sight to dieters looking for a quick way to lose some extra pounds.

Goal-setting is an area that many fresh- men feel is important. Still other freshmen shared the goal of wanting to be more disci- plined. Scott Fullbright, class president, summed it up by saying School is a lot of fun but sometimes 1 have to sacrifice some of that fun in order to meet my goals. Many students grew in other ways. Lorri Freeman said, iiThe main thing I have learned is how to get along with other peo- ple. Andy Gustave said, I have never made friends so quickly and been so easily accepted by everyone. Steve Berry also shared, uI had never visited OBU before I came here so i didnt know what to expect. 1 was surprised to learn how friendly the peo- ple were and their attitudes and outlooks on life were great? Allison Fox explained, uBeing from a small town tended to give me a narrower outlook on life. live learned to broaden my perspective. Experiences and highlights stood out to other people. Ginger Guy experienced the feeling of giving her best and being content with that. Lisa Wilson excitedly said, uThe highlight of my freshman year was seeing snow for the first time. Whether their year was made up of goal-setting, learning and growing, or experiences and highlights, they felt that their freshman year was a very re- warding and memorable year.

Every year we hear a new language. Last season we loved the prep life and strove to memorize the preppie handbook so that we could be posh like Buff. This year, for some unknown sociological reason, the tin lifestyle to follow has moved from upper New England to lower California. Instead of the All-American leaders like Skip and Buffy, the new generation praised a being known as Moon Rock Zappa who recorded the solid-gold hit iiShe's a Valley Girl. The Valley Girl Syndrome: Portrait of a Valley Girl. Her name is Totally Anne Clueless and she lives in Ensino Valley, California. She is a mix of British punk and American hippie. Her clothes, usually plastic, include a variety of mini- skirts, glittered stockings and the latest in synthetic booting. Totally Anne loves to shop, flirt and shop. Most importantly, however. Totally Anne Clueless loves to confound outworlders, that is, those who dont live in the Valley or worse, those who dont live in California. Language is the single most confusing weapon that a Valley girl possesses. Although many have tried, few have been able to crack the Valley girl verbal code. When describing a nice dress, Totally Anne says, uLike wow, that is like a totally awesome piece of fabric, almost like a tubular kind of experience. Experts reveal that Totally Anne is stating that she thinks the dress is entirely awesome, notjust partially so, and that she will enjoy wearing it. Conversely, when Anne sees polyester pants or leather penny loafers she says, l'Gag me with a spoon and eat my heart out on a plasticytray. Like who would wear money andjunk in their shoes, like Iim so sure. This exclamation is indeed negative. Totally Anne is obvious- ly so distraught that she is willing to have major surgery in order that people may see her heart felt sincerity. Ultimately she is completely for sure that she dislikes the wearing of loose change on peoples feet. There are numerous other expressions and characteristics that typify Totally Anne Clueless and her Valley friends. They too are as confusingly vague. No one is quite sure why a small group of girls from a somewhat remote corner of the nation have become so awe-inspiring. There is one thing that is llfor sure, for sure, however. The only cure for over exposure to the Valley Girl fad is migration into another country, or generation.

Rivers Tulsa Becky Robinson Jones Parkway becomes Haunted House Parkway a a university housing complex provided for resident junior and senior men, a place to relax, study, enjoy and call home. This was not the case during Hallo- ween, as Parkway became a classical haunted house. As some Parkway residents offered their apartments for the occasion, the rooms were transformed into Dracula dens, witch corners and spooky base- ments. Each room in the house was decorated by a group on campus, and the best spook room won a prize. Among the organizations that set up Freshman winners Jerry Purswell and James Wright display their horror talents that allowed the freshman class to win the haunted house room competition. rooms were the Freshmen Class, Zeta Pi Lambda and Phi Omega social clubs and Kappa Kappa Phi and Athe- nean social clubs. The freshmen won the prize for the best room, and they went all out on turning Parkwayts basement into a tor- ture chamber. The popularity of the haunted house was noted by the line that formed out- side Parkway from its opening until late that night. Many people that came were from the city, such as Shawnee high schoolers. The faces of those waiting to experience the house ranged from fear to frolic. At the nights end, the haunted house went back to being Parkway but with a bigger mess to clean. Cheryl Milam Pass-Robinson F reshmen T 225 Dempsey as he redecorates a friend's room. Toilet paper is a part of the pranks played by Rob Students live through pranks Students stayed awake at night dream- ing of ways to get revenge. But although most pranks were fun loving, it was a common sight in both dorms and on campus. Pranks were one of the better known past times, and they occurred almost ev- ery hour of the day. Current pranks included: Pennying someone in his room by put- ting pennies between the door and the door frame. Shoe polish on doors. Unattended rooms left ransacked. Trash cans filled with water leaned against a door tunfortunately by the time they were found, the room was weti. Outside pranks occurred just as fre- quently. Painting the Bison was, of course, the favorite of most students, even with t risk of getting caught. Toilet paper and shoe polish on ca and buildings also were eagerly done I mischievous students. Some cars we even moved during the night to sut parking places as the front of the Mab Learning Center. Pranks were a large part of campus li and, while the administration turned - evil eye on them, students reveled in th : ability to play pranks. The majority of pranks were played . friends and were done in friendly wa and they seemed to add a little life to t drudge of the semester. For the most part, students had to li with pranks and, sometimes, live throu - them.

In January, the reorganization took place. President Agee said he patterned the changes after the example of Union University, where he worked before coming to OBU. In order to do that, the institution was divided into six areas of concentration which tideserve priority attention, said President Agee. uNone of these should be secondary. The six areas were academics, business affairs, religious life, student development, institutional development and admissions. President Agee felt the most ob- vious need was for a chief academic officer, instead of the president's being the academic dean. The creation of this position started last September when Dr. Agee requested suggestions about its title, job description and selection procedure. On Jan. 10, it was announced that Dr. ShirleyJones would be the new vice president for academic affairs. Other changes in the administrative structure were triggered by the resigna- tion of Dr. Paul R. Corts as executive vice president in December. Dr. Corts became the special assis- tant to the president for resource devel- opment. One new position created was the executive assistant to the president. Tom Terry assumed those duties with responsibilities in budget control, instiv tutional planning and internal unica- tions. Another new position was the vice president for religious life. Dr. John Tresch assumed this position. There were no changes in the lead- ership of the other areas, with Donald Osborn as vice president for student development, Dr. Ken Edmondson as vice president for development and John Fluke as director of admissions.

Billson-Coilum Faculty t 229 In a flourish of brillant color which stood out boldly against their black robes, the faculty and delegates en- tered into the auditorium. The occa- sion was the Nov. 22 presidential inau- guration of Dr. Bob R. Agee. The place was Potter Auditorium. Dr. Harold C. Bennett, executive secretary-treasurer of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, gave the inaugural address. ill am honored to be here to- day for two reasonsf said Dr. Bennett. uFirst of all, for the reason that it's OBU, its standing in the academic communi- ty, its impact upon the world for Jesus Christ. iii am honored also for the high privi- lege of participating in this inaugural experience for President Agee. Dr. Bennett went on to say that Christians have always been in the front in bringing education to men and women in special circumstances. He also said that Dr. Agee is a man, who through his training and experience, is adequately equipped for his new posi- tion as OBU's 13th president. God has placed great leaders at the head of this university, said Dr. Ben- nett. He challenged Dr. Agee to con- tinue in the direction that has already been set. 'iTouch the lives of others, said Dr. Bennett. HDare to dream the dream of academic excellence and service of mankind through God. Be busy about equipping the saints of God. In Christian education, there should be a proper balance between academ- ic freedom and academic responsibil- ity. Freedom in any ordinate rela- tionship of human life is always limited, but never absolute? Dr. Bennett said that Christian high- er education is not always an easy task, but it is a rewarding one. Teachers, university presidents, faculty mem- bers, administrators all hold a special place in the plan of God, he said, to equip adequately the holy ones, the saints for the work of the Christian min- istry. iiThere is that continuing strength and committment on the part of facul- ty and administration to touch the lives and to help mold the lives in such a way that when they are no longer in these halls abiding they will be able to stand on their own feet knowing who they believe and where they are goingT Following the investiture performed by Albeit J. Geiger, chairman of OBU's Board of Trustees, and the inaugural prayer, voiced by Dr. Herschel H. Hobbs, pastor emeritus of Oklahoma City's First Baptist Church, Dr. Agee gave his response, Dr. Agee began his speech by saying, uWe have assembled today to celebrate the meeting of a special kind of partnership. Three very important emphases that combine to make Southern Baptists the largest and most effective evangelical force in the world today. Our committment to and our investment of resources in evangelism, missions and Christian education have thrust our accomodations in the arena of service to mankind in some unusual Dr. Bennett delivers OBUis 13th inaugural address ways. Dr. Agee went on to say, The key to vitality is partnership, and that parte nership is crucial in three ways. First, partnership is crucial in the advance- ment of knowledge, said Dr. Agee. He said that he was committed to building concrete bases for life of the students at 080. ttWe must never be embar- assed at emphasis on academic ex- cellence, said Dr. Agee. The second crucial area of part- nership mentioned by Dr. Agee cone cerned the growth and development of the human spirit. Education that stresses only the mind misses the reality that man is physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, said Dr. Agee. The third area in which partnership is crucial is in bearing witness to the life changing power of Jesus Christ, he said. Dr. Agee concluded his talk saying, uPartnership is the art of working together to achieve mutually agreed upon goals. He went on to say that it is a sacred trust and encouraged all to join him in partnership, in mission and in ministry. Then, with the same flourish of color with which they entered, the faculty and the delegates left the auditon'um follow- ing the singing of the Alma Mater. And as the postlude, liWe All Believe in One True God? played, the audience exited and the ceremony was over.

Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Oscar Jeske Professor of Psychology Cliff Lehmann Director, Media Center It's a 600-page manuscript that has been in preparation for almost 10 years. It has a bibliography listing over 500 sources. What is this impressive piece of literature? lt's Dr. Marilyn Ogil- vieis new book, a biographical dictio- nary, The History of Women in Sci- ence. The idea for writing the book came almost 10 years ago when Dr. Ogilvie was teaching at Portland State Univer- sity. A class assignment, requiring her students to write a research paper, spurred one young women to write a paper on women in science. After she had done much research, the woman reported to Dr. Ogilvie that the only woman she could find enough informa- tion about to write on was Madame Currie. This incident aroused enough curiosity in Dr. Ogilvie that she decided to do some research of her own. The result was the beginning of a 10-year process which only a few months ago produced the finished manuscript. The research process was long and involved. Letters were written to women's colleges where many of the women scientists had worked. None of the women who were written about were still alive, but Dr. Ogilvie did con- tact some of these women's relatives. She also contacted the town clerk of Massachusetts for some information. ul followed the footnote trail, Dr. Ogilvie said. She traced these footnote references back to their primary sources whenever possible. Other ine Dr. Ogilvie writes science book formation was supplied by the interli- brary loan system and the help of a friend who had access to the Washing- ton archives. The finished product is a reference book, divided into five chronological eras from antiquity to 1910, on the his- tory of women in science. Each section is prefaced by a general introduction explaining the time period, followed by an alphabetical list of the women writ- ten about in that era. Biographical sketches on the women follow next. A total of approximately 350 women are written about in the book. Dr. Ogilvie anticipates that her book will be used first as a reference book for people interested in various women in science. The book also will be a good reference source for people who want to do in-depth research on a particular woman because of its extensive bib- liography. Though written for the col- lege level, Dr. Ogilvie feels that even mature high school students will be interested in her book when it comes to finding information on scientific wom- en. Lastly, Dr. Ogilvie hopes her book will appeal to historians, scientists and librarians. Although the manuscript is still being reviewed, exciting events have already occurred in connection with Dr. Ogilvie's writings. One Saturday afternoon, Dr. Ogilvie received a phone call from June Goodfield, author of a 1 natural science text previously used at OBU. in connection with the BBC and a ??F'. J.C.B.

Through a chain of coincidences, Goodfield learned of Dr. Ogilvieis manuscript and sought her out for a conference. Goodfield is currently seeking additional funding to finance a possible trip for Dr. Ogivie to Europe to do additional research on women in science. I'm excitedfi Dr. Ogilvie said. A summer project, Dr. Ogilvie is looking hopefully toward the prospect of taking the trip. Although it will still be sometime be- fore she will hear anything more about her manuscript, Dr. Ogilvie already has done much of the research for a sec:- ond book. This next bookwill be written about A.M. Boring, one of the women Dr. Ogilvie wrote about in her first book. Dr. Ogilvie also has plans to expand on other women in her book and to write papers on them for various scien- tific journals. Catherine Weaver Woman of science.

Ads1251 The Reputation Keeps on Growing It doesn't just end with the end of the yeaL The reputation that OBLl has is not just one that remains on a few acres in Shawnee. But as students graduate, or even go home for the summer, they take with them the attitudes of what the year has been. The excitement of the school and the hopes for the future make things even brighter for Bison Hill. New projects are already beginning. Plans are being made. Some are going on, and a few new ones will take their place. Talk is humming about the curriculum changes that will be used next year, and plans are already being made on who will be bop cops and who will be the presidents of clubs. 252 l Closing JH .i Ji' Supper smiles fill the president's backyard as Sarah Zimmerman enjoys the end of the year cookout. Finishing touches are added as the pedestrian mall construction comes to a close. Closing 253 254 l Closing End of the year activities include warmer weather as students have class outside and also enjoy the end of the year picnic. The spring also brought about events such as Stampede of Stars and the graduation exercises. Like it has been said, the reputation is a growing process. It can be sharply stunted in its growth by bad rumors, bad decisions, and bad attitudes. Things are looking up and in many ways, not only on campus. The economy is getting better, and the job market is opening up more positions than it has in awhile. Some say it could make the roaring 203 look tiny in comparison. t And although things looked great on the outside, it became something personal and unique for each individual.

In the first chapter, it had an illustration about a man who was asked, How are you? His reply was not negative, but a simple, I'm grow- ing and learning That is exactly how the year has been, and I dont think a theme could have better described the attitudes and personalities at CEO. The campus has grown physically, the number of administrators has grown, and the quality of our reputation has increased due to many decisions. This book cannot contain every min- ute detail of the year, but I hope that you will be able to look at it with great pleasure and remember many of the things OBLI means to you. Well, its been quite a year. And that pretty well sums up my feelings as I finish the remaining pages before I leave for the summer- although it is a week later than everybody else. Putting together this book was more than just a few pictures and a few names. It meant real commitment from the staff as we strove to put forth our best effort. There are many people I would like to thank in recognition of their con- tribution to the 83 Yahnseh. I would first like to thank my staff. Keeping a full load of classes on top of publication work is not always an easy task. And sometimes when I began to worry if things were really getting done, they always managed to come through in the end. Contributing writers helped to give the copy editors a chance to get infor- mation that was not always easy. They deserve a big hand. My advisor, Kathy Palen, was also a big help in seeing that everything got done. She was always there to lend a helping hand, but she also knew the importance of making sure the year- book was a student publication. The photography had its ups and downs throughout the year, and I found myself spending hours doing most of the printing. I especially need to thank Jack Putnam for his assistance In let- ting us use the darkroom and for de- veloping film. Some of the people to whom I am very grateful are the ones that never saw the work going on. These included my roommates, friends, and my par- ents, who hardly saw me throughout the year. If I was to thank anybody, though, it would be the students at OBLI. One can't make a yearbook without any activities, sports, or any people to write about. This book is for you. I can truly say that the year exempli- fied, i'A Reputation That's Growing. Kelly Kennedy Editor 56 f Staff, Acknowledgments ; a Q;
