PHYSICAL CHANGES OLIVET UNDERGOES IMPROVEMENTS TO GIVE THE CAMPUS A NEW LOOK eturning after almost four months of absence, R students may not have recognized certain parts of Olivet ' s campus. A 430-foot radio tower for IB WKOC ' s FM station was erected at the east end of the campus near Snowbarger Athletic Park. Thirty-five thousand watts of power creates a 60-mile broadcasting range instead of the former 420 watts with a 15-mile range. Chicago, Champaign, and Pontiac, Illinois can be reached by WKOC, as well as several western counties of Indiana. The McClain parking lot disappeared over the summer and was replaced with grass. Several homes across the street from the former McClain parking lot were moved or demolished to make way for the new Ludwig parking area. Newly insulated steam lines provide heat and hot water service from Brodien Power Plant to eight campus buildings. The 800- g foot insulated steam lines replaces 40-year-old pipes. The | $150,000 steam line provides better heat for fewer operational % dollars. By Bruce Dillman. I Improvements 23

NO SLOWING DOWN BASEBALL CONTINUES TO EXCEL UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP ■■■■■■■ he 1986 baseball team was a prime example of u college baseball at its best. The Tigers, under first- ■Hl year Coach Brian Baker, showed no signs of slow- ■ ing down. Their 29-18 overall record proves that H f ac t- O ne can understand this when looking at their schedule and realizing that most of their losses were at the hands of some big time baseball programs like Northwestern, St. Francis and St. Xavier. Coach Baker and his Tigers proved that they can play with and over many major universities. The Tigers did lose some key players in Scott Bricker and Kevin McKay to graduation; but they still have the power of Eric Durbin and the talent of Scott Goselin along with many other quality ball players to remain a threat to any team they come up against.
