Chapel has boasted several guest speakers who have seen the vision that God has for his people and the urgency ofthe need to bring Godis message of love into every man,s world. The students too, it seems, have caught hold ofthe vision. Every week on Friday nights they have the opportunity to meet other students to caravan to Peoria to witness. The intercessory prayer group meets weekly to lift up the administration, student body, and others for whom the Lord gives them a burden. During the year students grow in God as they take His message of love to people outside A campus, across the state, and around TT' the world. 4- Striving always to it q 'cwalk worthy of the Lord unto all l V in pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of Cod?

With upturned eyes the president and Dr. Winslow claim approaching victory over cancer. ericho M arch , L ' ly, W The Jericho March Encircling th Cit of Faith by Carla Turner The ORU student body re- ceived an unexpected phone call from President Oral Roberts during cha el on January 19, 1983. He shared with the stu- dents his vision of a victory march around the City of Faith. The purpose of this march - to unite the hearts, spirits, and prayers of the ORU family in war against Satan and his tool of destruction, cancer. President Roberts stated that the march was to be held the following Monday at a special chapel ser- vice. This march would symbol- ize victory over Satan and would be done much like the children of Israel's march around Jericho. So, on January 24, 1983, the stu- dents, faculty and staff of both Oral Roberts Universi- ty, and the Oral Roberts Evange- listic Association gathered in Mabee Center to prepare. There were many different emo- tions in the air. Some were joy- ful, and some were even skep- tical. From the Mabee Center, the group moved to the City of Faith Where the march began. With President Roberts leading one line, and Richard Roberts leading the other, the group marched up the sides of the Riv- er of Life parting at the praying hands, and rounding the com- plex until it was fully encircled. Then the body sounded three victory shouts over this dreaded enemy. President Roberts then led the group in prayer, and they were dismissed. What did it mean? Like the march around Jericho, the 1983 version was an act of obedience to the righteous call of God. and boldness wonderful to It takes true faith and submission to respond to Cod's calling. Cod called President Roberts, along with stu- dents, faculty, and staff, responded with all the faith Within them. It is think that such a small event might turn out to be such a huge stepping stone to- ward the final conquest over cancer. 1, Jericho March 13 'Take this cup. by Theresa Ohler Perhaps it is because it is not require , maybe it is because dress code is not in effect, or maybe because one may sit wherever he chooses, or more likely because . . . . . . this you do in remem- brance of me . . . U Perhaps this is the reason that a number of students esca e the daily demands of their hectic schedules, or swap Friday night pizza for the solitude of commu- nion at Kennedy Chapel. Monday through Friday, troubles are abandoned outside those double doors along with books and coats, as the soft praises of a strumming guitar cckon from Within. It is twelve noon, but lunch offers little competition as the people file in. Once inside, the burdens of rapidly approaching exams, roommate s uabbles, out- rageous phonellnills and the like seem to be lifted as Gods chil- dren engage themselves in songs of praise. Studentspartici- pate by opening with a word of prayer, scripture readings, and the sharing of the sacraments. The message, usually short and simple, is shared by Dr. Hart, Greg Webb, or Peiter Kok. Occasionally the opportu- nity arises for us to hear a guest speaker such as Rob Owens. Often the message is in response to a recent word in Chapel, a current event on campus, or a vision that might benefit the body. Generally, one does not know what to expect, but sel- dom is anyone ever dis- Communion 14 appointed. Communion service on Fri- day night is a refreshing Way to end a busy week. Many students take this time to reflect over the past few days, and replenish themselves before facing the challenges of the week ahead. The relaxed atmosphere of this casual service offers a time of praise and worship rather than preaching. Often students perform a drama or a musical presentation. Sometimes the evening becomes a time of fel- lowship to share triumphs as well as struggles within the com- munity. As the volunteers who serve communion make their way down the center aisle, the twelve strings of a guitar fill the air with their delicate melody. Whatever the message, who- ever the speaker, Cod remains faithful and His presence is evi- dent in the warm glow on the faces of those who partake of the bread, His body broken for you . . and the wine, His blood shed for your sins . . On bended knee, many are silent, some wee while others just smile, but the serenity is always the same. As the guitar slowly silences its strum, the song continues in the hearts of those who have communed with their Lord. And somehow as the numbers depart, whether it be to another class at the LRC, or a campus movie in Howard Audi- torium, they go with the inner assurance of the mighty Cod they serve. 9 Come celebrate at the Lord's table.

PresidentfChaplain Profile 16 Filled with compassion wo Men of Cod by Carla Turner People visiting ORU often comment on the friendly, loving spirit that is seen in the students who live, study, and work here. What these people do not real- ize is that these qualities are not just in the students, they are also eveident in the faculty, staff and administration of this uni- versity. Two prime examples are President Oral Roberts and Chaplain Larry Hart. These two men often take time from their busy schedules to spend with the stu- dents. Chaplain Hart can often be seen eat- ing with students in SAC-A and, both President Roberts and Chaplain Hart can be seen jogging at the Aerobics Center, They they can fellow- ship with students on a more personal basis because the atmo- sphere allows for it. Students also can see them wearing some- thing besides a suit and tie, this helps them seem more relaxed and accessible. The president and chaplain are often seen at sporting events. This, too, helps the students see them more realistically because they are seen yelling and cheering with others. It becomes evident their positions are more than just jobs, but rather ways of life. This is seen clearly in chapel. Innumerable are the times Presi- dent Roberts has referred to his darling wife, Evelynv or has shared with the student body some event about their house- hold. He has even kissed Evelyn on stage! It is times like these when the students can see him, not only as an evangelist, but also as a husband and father. Chaplain Hart, like President Roberts has also mentioned his family from the pulpit. The time he brought his chil- dren on stage and 3 they refused to sing was precious. The students saw him as a father. President Roberts and Chaplain Hart are open for Cod to minister through them. Often they just pour out their hearts i.. Q: 3 ri. J to the student body n and share their hurts and joys - even to the point of tears. These two men of C-od have such a bur- den in their hearts for the stu- dents they they make them- selves vulnerable. This vulner- ability lets the student body see the spirit of compassion and love that flows through the president and the chaplain ofthe Universi- W- 9 President!Chaplain Profile 17 Assembled together At H is T krone by Theresa Ohler Chapel began with an in- depth Bible study on sanctifica- tion.

Terry Law left us this thought: i'If your dreams donit scare you, you're not dreaming big enoughf' Our own President Roberts has been busy. But he has not been too busy to share his bur- dens with us, or too busy to call us long distance from California, and he has not been too busy to share his heart with the student body.

Another aspect of Vespers is praise, led by Alan Voth, Angela Williams and jim Beise. Far right: Singing Ha my liirfluluy to President Roberts was only the lueginning of this dynamic Vespcrs service. Ycspcfrs 20 unday evening - seven p.m.? Time or ' Vespers by Amy Studebaker Worship, Praise, fellowship and communion are all a regular part of what goes on in the cafeteria every Sunday evening from 7-9 pm. The students, numbering about 1000 are also a regular part of Vespers. This time on Sundays was set apart for students to get away from their books and to get into the Word. Every Vespers program was careful- ly and prayerfully planned. At 4:30 on Sundays jim Beise Director of Vespers, and others met to dis- cuss the previous ser- vice and plan the next W e e k . T h e i n- strumentalists met at 5:30 for music re- hearsals. At 6 pm the Vespers Council including stu- dents, professors and people from the Chaplainis Depart- ment met together for prayer. Each week the student run services began with worship and praise. Next on the order of events was the speaker. Several guests were invited to speak during the year. Among them were Dr. Hugh Nlorkin, Larry Hart, Miles Monroe and our Student Publications own president, Oral Roberts. When the President spoke january 23rd, the day before his birthday, a banner was given to him which all the students had signed. It was one of the few times that the students were able to see the President wear- ing jeans, and in a relaxed atmosphere. Another part of Vespers was Communion. At this time the elements were blessed and ' given to the students. Those who partook of I the body and blood of Christ felt a closeness to Cod and to each other. It is that closeness that lent itself to the casual atmosphere. Some students have viewed that atmo- s here in Vespers similar to Bi- blfe study. Many practical sub- jects were taught without the formality of a classroom setting. The impressions of many stu- dents about Vespers can be summed up in the words ofone. uVespers is the best worship be- cause students are there be- cause they want to be, not be- cause they have to bef, ia Ycspvrs 21 Richard regards his music as a ministry, and here ministers tothe ORU family during Chap- el.

This fall semester possessed many of these expectations as the excitement of coming adventures of college life penetrated the atmosphere. In order to set the proper start, the annual Family Seminar was held for ORU stu- dents, faculty, and others in the Mabee Center August 27-29. All waited for the Seminar with great anticipation. The presentation of new vi- sions and goals by the platform speakers con- tributed to the ener- getic atmosphere. For many the meeting of jesus Christ for the first time created joy within their lives that would last a lifetime and on into eternity. The sem- inar was a time of dedi- cation for some and a rededication and renewal for others. Hearts were opened and spirits revitalized as the Word of Cod was spoken and proclaimed. It was a thrill for the gathered assembly to hear messages from strong men of Cod. President Roberts ministered the first even- ing with a sermon entitled, Then the Tempter camef, from Mat- thew 4:1-11 which contains the temptation of Iesus in the vvilder- ... 1 . i.. ,. ness. President Roberts empha- sized that we need to confront the devil with the Word of Cod, rather than with our human flesh. By us- ing the Word of Cod against him, as Iesus did, we can also live in victory over his power. The evening service centered on the topic of missions. jimmy Buskirk spoke on the importance of going out into our hurting world and sharing the Gospel of Good News with people. We are to love the world as God loved it. He gave it His best, His son, T and we in turn are to follow his example. Several students then shared experiences they had as they wit- nessed in a variety of cultures and countries. A call was then put forth as students in- terested in missions ventured into the pos- sibility of fulfilling the great commission in future days. The Sunday morning worship service was led by Richard Roberts. A unique time of anoint- ing with actual oil followed the worship and message. With priori- ties in proper order and energies revived, the ORU campus was ready to begin the new year. if Family st-mirrn 7a Helping people in need An active Question: What has 1600 legs, can go 72 different direc- tions, and has one heart for Cod? Answer: CSC - that is, Christian Service Council. More than likely, when we hear CSC,v we think of our wing CSC chairman. After all, the wings CSC chairman passes on various needs and outreach opportunities of the Tulsa com- munity to the students of ORU for uactiven ministry. But CSC does not stop there, it goes much further. What initially began several years ago as a small group of stu- dents hoping to involve other students in ministry, has today grown into a complex operation requiring a full-time staff posi- tion for operation. For example, this past year, CSC has been in- volved in 72 ministries reaching out to unloved infants, abused and mentally retarded children, problem teen-agers, the elder- ministry ly, the poor and the sick. All types of people are touched by this ministry. CSC does not consist of skilled professionals, but rather, students who are learning how to love by doing love. According to Dave Hampson, Director of the Christian Service Council, CSC provides a setting where students are urged to get in- volved and to develop their min- istry gifts, not just to get to Heaven, but as Codis love grows in you, you must give it awaylv This is evidenced by the fact that each week, groups of students ranging in size from two and three up to more than thirty, went into and around the Tulsa area spreading the love of Cod. In total between 700 and 900 peogle were involved each wee . Even the puppets have something to say about spreading the Good News. CSC 26 rv K CSC Rushnight offereda variety of activities for the students to get involved in, ranging from the American Diabetes Association to the Little Lighthouse. Denise Griffiths is part ofthe CSC drama group which performed several times in Chapel this year. Perhaps one of the most memorable times for students was the Thanksgiving outreach program. This program was set up to allow students who were staying on campus over Thanks- giving to take a turkey to a family in North Tulsa who would not be having a Thanksgiving meal otherwise, and share the meal with that family as well as the love of Christ. This past year, 73 students shared over 500 pounds of turkey with 30 fami- lies!

Perhaps one of the most treasured memories in many students, minds is that of retreats. Retreats are planned twice a year by brother-sister wings in order to get away from campus and its pressures, and get closer to Cod. There are times of sharing, praising, and times for just listening on these trips. It is a time of refreshing and en- riching onels rela- tionship with the Lord. It is also a time for growing closer to one another as well. Games, skits, talks and even practical jokes add to the growth that takes place. It is a time to become a family -- true brothers and sisters in Christ. By being able to be oneself in a variety of ways, bonds of love form that can never be broken. This also gives one a chance to observe all the unique indi- viduals our Cod has created. Drama students, foreign stu- dents, RA. is and Chaplains also take retreats. These are times of sharing talents and dreams, as well as sharing frustrations and disappointments. Words of en- couragement and inspiration are shared in order to up- lift one another to continue on in what- ever ministry they are involved. Sponsors are an important part of making retreats as valuable as they are. By sharing of their own wisdom and ex- periences, students are able to apply this knowledge to their own lives. Students are then able to learn from the failures and successes of another man or woman of Cod. Retreats are indeed special times from which every partici- pant comes back just a little bit different as they begin to see more of the wonder of Cod and their fellow man. p Retreats 29 A time to stand up and cheer C hristicm Hoyt Cazaway The term, Contemporary Christian Musicf, is an oversim- plification, for about the only thing all Christian musicians have in common is that they sing unto the Lordf, They come in all sha es, sizes, styles and backgrounfs. Student Asso- ciation Chairman jeff Smith arranged a number of on- campus concerts for student en- tertainment at low cost. i'In choosing the artists, we tried to select those with the widest appeal among the students. We had artists with a variety of styles: rock as well as mellow, male and female, soloists and bands. We tried to bring back artists whom the students liked from past years as well as bringing in new perform- ers. Kicking off the concert season Artists on campus were Denny Correll and Benny Hester. Before becom- ing a Christian, Correll had been in a rock group that had risen to the top in the early 70,s. His newer Christian music retains the fresh, crisp flavor of the musical style in which he grew up. Hester and his band have the distinction of being one of the first Christian groups to have a song cross over from the Christian to the Top 40 Charts with Nobody Knows Me like You. At the Mabee Center, one ofthe biggest Christian concerts in Tulsa history was held on December 11. The SA, in cooperation with KCFO radio, brought Reba Ram- bo and Dony McGuire to perform their Crammy Award winning choral piece, The Lordis Prayer. Farrell and Farrell entertain a full house at the Mabee Center with a number of their songs. Among their latest hits is Let the W'l1ole World Know, Christian concerts 30 4 L n A church member and an ORU student get a laugh from listening to another team member converse with this woman's husband.

'Nlusic hllIliSll'iCS 2 Ministry through their voices Reaching people by Music Ministries Personnel Picture this: A van with a U- Haul trailer drives into the church parking lot. Ten ORU students tumble out of the van and begin to carry approximate- ly 1 ton of musical instruments, luggage, and sound equipment into the church. Three hours later the equipment is assem- bled on the church platform, the stu- dents have eaten, washed, and dressed, an audience has gathered and another concert by a Music Ministries, group is about to begin. Since 1975 when an experimental group traveled throughout the United States, Music Ministries has faithfully criss-crossed American each summer replaying this scene. During the past school year, 5 groups were assembled for sum- mer ministry. These groups in- cluded Cornerstone who traveled in the Northeastern United States, New Creation who traveled in the Tennessee and North Carolina area, Radiance who traveled in the Southeastern United States, Masteris Touch who traveled in the Southwest, and Souls A'Fire who traveled to the West Coast. During the course of the summer, each group gave between 80 and 90 concerts, traveled approx- imately 8,000 miles, and ate from 30 to 40 potluck dinners. They ministered in churches, nursing homes, prisons, parks, schools and other places which allowed them to sing of their faith in Iesus Christ. Their ministry began in Sep- tember, 1982 when approx- imately 300 students gathered Music Ministries 33 Reaching people in Cardone Hall to hear Wayne Kent, Music Ministries Direc- tor, explain the program. After two months of auditions the teams with 8 to 11 members were formed, and in November began rehearsals to prepare for their summer ministry. During the course of the year, the groups rehearsed 6 to 8 hours per week, attended an academi- cally accredited class in g'Con- temporary Church Ensemblef, and developed their rela- tionships within the group. In addition to the summer group, two Praise Singeris groups consisting of 17 and 22 students were formed. These groups ministered in the Tulsa area during the school year and traveled during Spring Break. Onc groupis final destination was Chicago, and the other group ministered in Colorado. After construction alterations in the kitchen area of Cardone Hall were completed during fall, Music Ministries relocated in a permanent home. With the new facilities including an equipment room and improved office space, the program was able to provide more effective administration of its ministry. The heart and soul of Music Ministries has always been the students who give their talents and love to the ministry. Whether singing to 300 high school kids or to 25 grand- mothers and grandiathers, Mu- sic Ministries provides a means for students to minister the gos- pel in song. The greatest growth ofthe Music Ministries program in its 8 years of existence has been in the lives of the students who have participated in mov- ing music and ministry across America. 9 One of the Music ministry groups sing during one of their many practices before going out this summer.

There they were sur- rounded not by sand, surf, and sun, but by drunks, prostitutes and poor neighborhoods. These young people partici- pated in spring break outreach. They opted to forego a relaxing Week spent at home with family and friends. Instead they chose to travel to places such as De- troit, Michigan, Lan- caster, Kentucky, Cleveland, Ohio, S a n t a F e , N e w Mexico, El Paso, Texas, Reno, Neva- Stu dents, along with one OREA staff employee, one law student, and three medical students all took advantage ofthe opportuni- ty to go out and tell others about Christ. Students received training in the areas of preaching, sharing testimonies and evangelism during weekly classes taught by dem Pub1iC..fi.,..s faculty and staff per- sonnel. Weekly team meetings and selected CSC minis- tries allowed for min- istry skills to be sharp- ened and refined. One team mem- ber, Gloria Green said, The people are so hungry for love . . . you canit help da, and Americus, but to reach out your Georgia. Team members did various jobs ranging from construction work to distributing seeds to the poor, handicapped and aged. Students lead Worship services in churches, schools, and in prisons. Door to door evange- lism along with street Witness- ing were additional avenues which students used to minister to people. The 52 undergraduate stu- hand with the love of Christf, Because of the spring break trips, students caught a glimpse of what life on the mission field is really like as they traveled and shared with people who felt that they had no hope. The message that the ORU students brought into their lives Was what they had been looking for . . . a mes- sage of hope. The hope that only jesus Christ can give. Spring Break Outreach 37 Go where my light is dim T Spread Sonshine Oral Roberts University was founded on the commission Cod gave Oral Roberts to Raise up your students to hear my voice, to go where my light is dim, where my voice is heard small, where my power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earthf, Striving to fulfill this commis- sion, Oral Roberts University sends mission teams to coun- tries all over the world each summer. The purpose ofthe ORU mis- sions program is to develop within the ORU community an awareness of and concern for the needs of humanity around the globe. It provides opportunities for students to participate in cross-cultural ministry. The program motivates students to consider mission work andfor healing team participation upon graduation. Twenty-six different teams were trained during the 1982-83 school year to go out into the world and carry the message of Christ. Once to their location, teams would stay in homes of Christ- ians or in churches. They did everthing from building build- ings, to teaching school, to walk- ing the streets passing out tracts. Coffee houses and out- side worship services caught the attention of people in the com- munity. Even though direct results may not have been seen, people were exposed to the gospel and its truths. Members prayed that their presence and the work that they did left an impression on the communities in which they lived and that these experiences might become stepping stones in the lives of the people on the road to salvation. Teams went to places from Alaska and Amsterdam to japan, Mexico City, Trinidad and Zaire. The korfbal team became part of the missions program a year ago and continues to travel across Europe playing and wit- nessing to other teams and the Ministering in an Indonesian market, students from ORU found friendly people hungry for the Word. m, Summer missions 38 Summer missions give students a chance to spread COCl,S love to his children around the world. Taking in the wonders of creation is a bonus of a summer spent in service to the Lord. fans. Overall, the ORU mis- sions program is alive and Well. It is striving to bring about a change on campus to make students more aware ofthe world around by going out into the World onto the ubattlefieldv fighting the war against Satan by loving peo- ple and sharing With them the simple truths ofthe Gos- pel. 9 Summer missions 39 Amidst the pressures of classes with their never ending papers and exams, amidst the demands of dress code, curfew, and aerobic points, students at Oral Roberts University often wonder if they even have a life, or at least a life they can call their own. Cften students find themselves trapped within their own expectations, bound and chained to the ritual 24-hour schedule plan. In an effort to pursue the Whole Mann ideology that this University is dedicated to producing, have students forsaken their own individuality? The answer to this question can be found on the following pages, not in social security numbers, but in the names of people, unique individuals, friends . . . In these faces we find laughter. We find desire. We find hope. We find love. This is the life of a student at Oral Roberts University, and those who made the most of it will find that they have grown, not in spite of rules and regulations, but because of them. 1, ai.

Ohler Who would have ever guessed that leaving our own siblings at home when we came to college would mean acquiring an additional thirty brothers and sisters? Brotherfsister wings are a unique part of our uwholev life here at ORU. Whether it is sharing a table at SACA, or a Bible verse at devos, brother! sister wings have always been there with an encouraging word, a helping hand, a batch of' cookies, or a can of shaving cream! This year brotherfsister wings shared an activity that has never before been a co-ed event, hall meeting. Needless to say, this has considerably increased attendance and en- joyment at the dreaded hall meeting. Men? In the girls, dorms? After Curfew? Pajamas and cold cream will have to wait, and the ritual announcements will be posted this week as hall meeting becomes a time of prayer and worship. Dean jack Wallace made a special appear- ance at one ofthese hall meetings and gave us the inside scoop ofthe legendary brother! sister wings. Offering to supply popcorn and cokes if the guys from EMR would take the girls from Claudius to the campus movie, jack Wallace ignited a spark that continues to burn in spite of' fluctuating enrollment. Activities vary and are limited only by oneis imagination fthe RA, the honor code, and the administrationl. Perhaps the most enjoyable activities shared by brotherfsister wings is intramural sports.

Cheer up coach, thereis always basketball! Ofcourse things are much different for the sister wings who crash into their lobby at the stroke of' midnight still huffing and puffing after they just ran from the A.C. because their brother Wing had a basketball game at 10:45, nevermind that they havenit scored a basket all season, and you still have a paper to type before morning. After-all, Where are your priorities? This year brotherfsister wings had many opportunities to visit one another in their respective surroundings. Open house gives us a chance to see how the other halflives, or at least how the other half lives twenty min- utes after room check, Who knows what lurks behind those mysterious curtains? While some turn those two precious hours into a party with music and refreshments, others just chat or watch a little T.V., some will even try to study, but open doors and all feet firmly planted on the ground are aspects common to all. VVings also enjoy times of' prayer and Worship together. Co-ed devos allow brothers and sisters to share and learn together. Many Wings have brotherfsister prayer partners that provide one-on-one commitment to each others needs. Brother! sister wings often accompany each other to Vespers, communion, and other campus ser- vices. These opportunities give students a chance to relate to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ Willing and able to en- courage each other to press on to the high calling that is upon each of our lives.

L. Ohler Striking out on their own is an idea that appeals to most students as they take off for the carefree lifestyle of a college student. However, few escape those last minute 'ibut- terfliesn when the time comes to pack our security into a couple of suitcases and say good bye to friends and family. Becoming accustomed to a new environ- ment is difficult for most anyone. But while a few of us found Tulsais humidity rather un- pleasant, a number of students were attemp- ting to adjust to an entirely different environ- ment. While many students struggle with the distinct accent common to the residents ofOklahoma, for these students, the English language itself was a communication barrier. International students know what it costs to be obedient to Christ. As students at Oral Roberts University, we each have made a sacrifice of some kind to be here, but few of us have traveled across oceans, leaving our homes thousands of miles behind us. While international students will agree that they have faced many difiiculties trying to adapt to the American way oflife, they say that perhaps the biggest obstacle was dealing with their high expectations of a Christian university. Most of the international stu- dents came to the United States to attend ORU because Cod told them to come here. The majority have a genuine burden for their own country, and desire to get the best Christian education possible before return- ing home. From Canada to Kenya, pursuing fields of study that range from business to biology, international students are an inde- spensible part of the unique student life here at ORU. 9 International students take this warm afternoon to share in a time of fellowship together. International 50 yyae HGV Sharing a meal at SACA is just one of the many activities that International students enjoy throughout the year. The International Student Association hosts a cultural exchange as students exhibit a hit of their own unique customs. I r International 51 S by Shari Nussbaum Drawing people by the thousands, once again the Mabee Center hosts a string of artists and performers during the 1983 school year. It was August, and John Denver stepped right on the scene giving a down home coun- try concert. Denver sang many of his old time favorites, as well as some of his newer numbers. john did an entire concert without a single break for himself. While his band took an intermission, Denver continued to entertain his audience. Olivia Newton-Jojn came onto the scene with a big splash. The black rhinestone cov- ered mini skirt did not keep her from singing some of her original songs, as well as some of her more recent hits. She progressed from the old favorites right up to 6'Let,s Cet Physi- calv, performing at least one song from each of the movies she has done. From the time she sang, 'gHopelessly Devoted to Youv until Xanaduv as she disappeared in a cloud of smoke, the concert was a success. Neil Diamond entered the stage of the Mabee Center singing 'KAmericaU, as fire- crackers were heard and the American flag was lowered. Performing on a stationary stage, Neil from time to time, jumped up on the piano, and sang to the part of the audi- ence that was usually to his back. He even sang 'iOklahomaD to the enthusiastic crowd. The Catlin Brothers took the stage long enough to sing a few of their songs and make way for Kenny Rogers. Once again, Kenny threw Frisbees at people in the audience. He kept an attentative audience as he sang a few of his many hits such as uCoward of the Countyv and he ended the evening with Lady.,' Concerts 52 The New Year brought Barry Manilow to Mabee Center entertaining a capacity crowd with a number of his hits. They seemed to flow one right after the other, uWeekend in New Englandv, K'MandyU, 'iIt7s a Miraclev, 'iEven Nowv, and also his latest hit, 'cMemory.v Barry warmed many of the female hearts singing love song after love song. Barry likes audience partici- pation, and had the audience whistling the first part of UI Can,t Smile Without Youv, and he selected a woman from the audience to help him sing on stage. Christian and secular artists alike have filled the Mabee Center with the best of their music. Capacity crowds or not, had no bearing on the grand performances seen at the Mabee Center this past year. 9 Still a favorite of many, John Denver, entertained young and old alike during this Mabee Center concert.

The table cards read that tickets to Christmas Banquet are on sale at S.A. and the brother wing suddenly disappears from the shared table in Saga. Inevitably, the pairing off begins while others choose that night to baby-sit or treat their roommate to dinner. Whatever the plans, no one wants to be in the dorm during the great exodus as couples fill the lobbies with empty corsage boxes and used flash cubes. As the long awaited Saturday approaches, girls flock into the laundry room to iron dres- ses that have been wedged in their closet since the last banquet.

The concert, Christmas Spectacular, was exactly that featuring Bhe- ba Rambo, and Donnie McGurie, accompa- nied bythe ORU Singers under the direction of Dr. Barry Epperly as they performed 'cThe Lord,s Prayer., Stephanie Booshanda and the Archers also contributed to the festivities of the evening. As the evening came to a close, the guy Phil Iackson and Cherie Coussens pause to give thanks before they devour the lucious dinner served by SACA. Casting a smile at her date, joan Self takes pleasure in the holiday atmosphere of the Christmas Banquet.

Christmas Banquet provides this couple with a bit of romance which is uncommon in SAGA. Christmas Banquet 55 6' by Ursula Liske Homecoming 1983 was a festivity cele- brated by the entire student body. The theme was Reflections, as past good times were reflected upon with the presence of alumni, as well as the reflections of the present school spirit. The week began with a tasty Sunday brunch given by SACA. Valentineis Day fell on Monday, making homecoming extra spe- cial. Even SACA proved to be an excellent affair as Student Activities adorned the tables with flamboyant red and white tablecloths, and arranged a singing quartet to Serenade, or playfully harass, the students. Bright bal- loons filled the air permeating the atmo- sphere and gaiety, and creating a memorable time to be treasured in the hearts of the students. Students were surprised again on Thursday as SA presented a bluegrass band put together by Glenn Shaw and Tami Whiteside. Fiery wing spirit was displayed by the colorful wingjersies, and school spirit was aroused by the issuing of 1983 homecom- ing buttons. Chapel on Friday, centered around the alumni, was deeply moving. Harold Rayis short talk encouraged each student to rise up to meet the cause, and leave with a mark of distinction. Contributing to the feeling was the alumni singing group, 'iPrism.v The guest speaker, alumni Terry Law, spoke on ludges 6:11, his theme being how, like Gideon, we must overcome tremendous odds to do what Cod wants us to do. As a final word of encouragement, the student body was reminded that the future of the school depends on the alumni as they move out in the power of Codis love to save our world. Excitement mounted with the homecom- ing concert featuring Twila Paris and Har- vest. The concert was enjoyed by all as a time of praise and ministry. Topping off the week was the homecoming game, and the crowning of the queen. The game started off with the Titans ahead and a spirited crowd of proud ORU students sup- porting their efforts. At half-time the sus- pense that had mounted throughout the week came to a climax as Lisa Harney was chosen as the 1983 homecoming queen, and was crowned by President Oral Roberts. 9 Concluding a week of festivities, President Oral Roberts escorts Lisa Harney, the 1983 Homecoming Queen.

After their first performance of The Cruci- ble, starring Ellen Durfey, S.T. Chuck Franklin, Lynn Hendricks, Tom Hillman, Susan Ellingbury, and Lee Poynter, it was obvious that the department was off to a great start. This three day performance Which ran from November 11-13 Was a remarkable dis- play of the somewhat hidden talent here at ORU. This became apparent with the pairing of our own drama professor, Laura Holland, and ORU graduate, David Lingel. Together they choreographed and Wrote the lyrics for this year,s musical Tlie Singer, Written by Calvin Miller. Again, T. Lee Poynter, Tom Hillmann, and Susan Ellingburg, along with Steven Lach, Richard Sutliff, Cori Peterson, Alison Godfrey, Iames Kerr, and Steven Dodds, did an excellent job portraying this allegory ofthe life, death, and resurrection of Iesus Christ. The year ended with the hilarious comedy performance of Neil Simonis Star Spangled Girl, directed by ORU students Leslie Kent, and Associate Director, Linda Hager. The arena-style seating gave the audience a sense of closeness as they enjoyed the grand per- formance of Tom Hillmann, Brian Tester, and Connie Taylor. 9 Plays 58 Senior drama major, Tom Hillman is The Singer in a three day performance in Howard Auditorium.

Plays 59 QW is by Shari Nussbaum The feeling sometimes sets in mid-week, sometimes not until Friday, but inevitably, the restlessness of' knowing that it is approaching hits us all. Those two totally free days when you are accountable to no one, no classes, no chapel, no SAGA, no dress code, and to put icing on the cake, an extra hour is tacked on to an-few for the girls, the time is yours to paint the town, or hit the hooks. It is the week-end. Tulsa offers a good variety of' countless eating places. Hamburger Haven, with its ORU special is a favorite on Monday nights. Good food is about the only thing that Char- lie Mitchellls with its casual atmosphere and Molly Murphyls with its crazy antics, have in common, but hoth are popular places among OHU students when ti comes to appeasing the appetite. For many, a week-end just is not complete unless a pizza works its way in there some- how. Mazzio,s has more than one location, and they all can be found pretty busy on the weekend. Pizza Hut, Godfather's, and My Tr are other great pizza places. New on the scene this year was jeremialrs restaurant in The Directory Hotel. lt sparked a little enthusiasm with its non- alcoholic mixed drinks. Many took interest in the exquisite atmosphere that it provided. . The WVilliams Center, in the downtown area has a host of' ideas. The big ice skating rink can be lots of' fun, and even allows one the chance to chalk up a few extra aerobic points for the week. Overflowing with a number oflittle shops, and restaurants, The Williams Center is a great place to escape the pressures ofthe week ahead. just like pizza, seldom does a weekend go by without taking in a movie.

Students rush around trying to obtain transportation home or to wherever they are planning to spend their vacation, while still madly pressing on to make those coveted Avs and BUS on exams. During Fall and Spring Breaks, students scurry off to a number of different places. Fall Break this year was from Gctober 8 to the 18th. A nice, sizable break for some, but for others there was not enough time. Most of the students go home for this break. Spending time with family and friends, they do all of those special things that are sorely missed at school. While the majority spent the time shopping and sightseeing, one girl managed to paint a barn during those ten days. There were a few who rather than going home uadoptedv another home for the week. These students had the opportunity to stay at the homes of their friends and the pleasure of meeting many new people. There were many places to go, in fact, forty-nine other states to which any one of the 4,000 students here at ORU could have gone. I had the pleasure of listening to one of my friends recount her stay on afarm in Nebraska. Some students remained here on campus for a full ten days of rest and relaxation. Spring Break came none to soon as a num- ber of students packed their shorts and sun tan lotion and headed for the beaches of F lor- ida during the week of March 11-21. They came back more than a little disappointed as Florida was rather wet that week. Others took to the slopes for a week of skiing in Colorado. In spite of the minor setbacks that are inevitably intermingled among the good times, students would have to agree that breaks this year were enjoyable times to re- lax and allow God to strengthen them for the weeks ahead. 9 Breaks 62 Anticipation mounts as Todd Aordkian awaits the long trek home for fall break. k 'Q 'pl- ' 305 if Q A g 2 f S 'ix Mui' A ' s Taking advantage of the sunshine, Sue Lampert and Paul Mabe ublica ions 0 3. 0 'Q .4 5' fb U' 0 W C I fl E1 O -s .-.

Ohler Q. What do Kings Court, River Bend, and Oak Tree Village have in common? A. Graduate students. For several years now the Director of Graduate Community Life, Mrs. Lawrence Lacour, has worked diligently to promote unity among the inhabitants of these twenty eight buildings. And she seems to be suc- ceeding. Both single, and married students alike, are pleased with the living arrangements provided through Graduate Housing. Dr. Michael Boone and his wife, janet, live in King,s Court which primarily houses young families with small children. They both agree that what they like most about living in Grad Housing is the opportunity to get to know the students from the other schools. While enjoying an afternoon picnic with their neighbors, Fred Chess a law student, ig aw.,i,s i ww- M W A' it ' 'Y J- . ,, ,. ,, iw-X X and his wife, Cathy, they explained how graduate housing is divided into smaller communities, each with its own mayor who organizes social activities such as, the ice cream social, and an Easter egg hunt for the children. The Mothers, Club hosts a number of activities ranging from aerobic classes to Bible studies, to garage sales. Aside from the UNO PETS ALLOWEDH policy, both of these families are very happy living in graduate housing. Iohn Fischer, who is working on his MBA, and his wife, Lita, who were playing a little basketball with their daughter, Katie, have been living in graduate housing since 1977. When asked what they liked most about liv- ing in grad housing, john quickly answered, 'lThe rentlv But as he bent down to scoop his daughter into his arms, the proud father When jesse, 6, and Jonah, 9, said that they liked living here, no one was certain as to whether they were referring to Grad Hous- ing or the sandbox.

It was difficult trying to pin the single graduate students down long enough to ask a few questions as a number of nursing and dental students discussed whether they would spend the rest of the afternoon bicycl- ing, or playing basketball.

A letter or Hcaren package from that special person breaks the monotony that studying chemistry or fourth semester humanities creates. The look on someone,s face after leaving the post office tells all. The anxious look of someone carrying a package makes one almost feel their anticipation as to what the package contains.

There are many times when responding to parents let- ters will slip onefs mind, but a phone call Looking a hit disappointed, Greg Phelps does not find the note he was expecting.

Fan Mail 69 de ur Pnin 1 Greg wp' by Camille Lohse The Sub served as a gathering place for ORU students, offering a variety of activities. A new game room was added with new video games, a pool table and ping pong table, attracting many students attempting to escape books, and the pressures of exams for only a few minutes. Special music groups performed on a few particular nights allow- ing students to enjoy listening to some good music, as well as some actually performing the music. The S.A., Oracle and Perihelion offices are also located in the Sub. Many of the students involved in these activities spent several hours in the Sub, many times into wee hours of the morning. Of course we cannot forget the most common aspect of the Sub - food. From cheeseburgers to yogurt, the Sub offered the cure to the munchies, as well as the place to take a date, or to take a study break. Most of us will remember the Sub, however, as a place of friends, jokes, laughs, and perhaps a serious talk or two. Whatever the reason, the Sub was enjoyed by many. 9 The game room stole valuable quarters as well as time that proba- bly should have been spent in the books. The Sub offers the LRC a little competition as these two study their American Literature while also sharing a milkshake. '41 The Sub 70 I can't believe I just spent all of my laundry money , . .

As always, events occurred through- out the world affecting the lives of each individual. Even those individuals sequestered in the land of books and exams have been changed. Often college students lose track of the world that they are a part of. Yet some events do penetrate our crowded minds. What events do you remember from the past year? The marriage that had held the focus of every eye and camera in the world provided its first fruit. Prince Wil- liam, the heir to the British throne, was born to Prince Charles and Lady Diana in August. The joy of the royal birth did not last long however. A royal death threw a shadow across the blue-blood lovers of the world as the former Hollywood queen, Princess Grace of Monaco was tragically killed in an automobile accident. Bear Bryant, a football legend in Alabama, retired from football for just a few weeks, was unable to enjoy his old age as he died leaving several thousand World Events 72 mourners. The death of another world leader, although not on royal lineage, had a greater effect on international pol' tics. Leonid Brezhnev of Russia died. His replacemenfl Yuri Andropov, remains an enigma. The Middle East remained a hot spot of controversy Anti-U.S. sentiment resulted in the terrorist bombin of the American Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, killin several U.S. citizens. There were also anti-America sentiments within America. Growing dissatisfactio with the state ofthe economy revealed itself in repeate rioting in Miami. Inflation and unemployment con tinued to plague America, although a leveling off an gradual decline were predicted. President Reagan con tinued to exhibit strength in leadership even thoug many of his programs were stifled. Another man also showed great strength this year Barney Clark was the recipient ofthe first artificial hear in medical history. Although Clark died in the Spring his operation was considered a success and encourage heart patients all over the world. Many Americans suffered from a different kind o X ,XX hrs W QW uw-W .eart ailment. The hearts of football fans everywhere kipped a few beats as they lived through the profes- ional football players strike. The striking players even- ually reached an agreement with football management, nd the season resumed. Finally, the Super Bowl was 'layed with the Washington Redskins emerging victo- nous.

NFL STR nc Whether students noticed the political intrigues, the sports happenings, or the entertainment achievements of 1982-83, or not, this was a year to remember. A year like no other - some events will remain in our memory while others will be relegated to the dim echoes of our past. 9 World Events 73 f-N W ,. t o'. lm W ttttt .gtg W' will y wi.

My name is on one of those bricksln These are but a few ofthe comments made by a number of the tourists visiting the cam- pus of Oral Roberts University. This Univer- sity, centered around the Prayer Tower which we, as students, all too often take for granted, is the number one tourist attraction in the state of Oklahoma. While averaging two to three hundred visitors a day, during the summer months it is not uncommon to receive some five hun- dred tourists each dayl The majority of visi- tors are partners in the Oral Roberts, Minis- try, but many are just curious. Both groups are equally impressed as they uoohv and Hahn over the brilliant, shimmering construc- tions, and the well kept grounds. The tour- ists, like the students, come from each ofthe fifty states, and many countries around the world. Inside the Prayer Tower, visitors have the opportunity to view two different presenta- tions. UORU Distinctivesv is a twenty-five minute slide show of ORU students. The tourists always have a number of questions about students and enjoy talking to them when they get the chance. journey into Faithv gives a brief synopsis ofthe life of Oral Roberts and God,s call upon his life that re- sulted in this University and the City of Faith. The observation deck, located on the top ofthe Prayer Tower offers a bird,s eye view of the entire campus, a breath taking, as well as, breath saving view! The Prayer Tower also houses a small gift shop filled with ORU paraphanalia, the most popular item being a small golden replica of the Prayer Tower it- self. And of course no one leaves without a handful of post cards to share with friends and neighbors. As students, it is time we took a minute to notice the beauty and splendor ofthe campus we have the privilege of calling our own.

Saga pro- moted many special nights, however, in attempts to add some variety and possible excitement to the day. One night was a hoe- down with country music along with country decor. One night specialized in Chinese food, while a potato bar was introduced on another occasion. Valentineis Day brought in red tablecloths, balloons, and even a singing quartet. A 'cMash Bashv was held in observa- tion of the last Mt AtSt H serial, with Blue and White Nights held on game days attempt- ing to promote school spirit. Apple dunking was even held in October to celebrate the coming of fall. just a little humor is inevitable when it comes to college kids and cafeteria food. The M 'A 'S 'H bash was just one of many special events provided by SACA this year. Even on normal days, Saga was the place where a great deal of fellowship be- tween brother-sister wings and friends took place. A couple of romances may have even been enhanced there. It was a place of long talks, cram study sessions, and food fights. It is re- membered as a place where we finally got to relax after a busy day, and a place where we made the five minute dash in order to make our next class. It is a place that holds a variety of memories that occurred during our growing college years. 9 ff' ' SAGA 76 is W 444 What lurks behind those shades? Perhaps a better question is, What lurks on that tray? In spite of complaints, SAGA has made many improvements this year. Outdoor jazz bands, like this one, entertained students during a number of picnics throughout the year. SAGA 77 I : AT by Camille Lohse A familiar sight on the ORU campus was that of students earning aerobic points in order to become whole men and women. Aerobic points were earned in a variety of ways. Racquetball, tennis, running, swimming, and basketball were some of the more popular ways of earning those points. There were even more unique methods of earning those points such as in that of skiing and rollerskating. Students filled out aerobic cards each week indicating those activities in which they had articipated. These were tabu- lated and recordjed by the students, HPE in- structor. The aerobic program was developed in order to train students to take proper care of the body God has given them, and in return, live more productive lives. Proper eating habits, weight control, and forms of aerobic exercise were taught in the classroom in order to fulfill this end. So as they say, Running for Iesusf, While most of us do enjoy aerobic activities, seldom a Thursday went by without someone suddenly remembering that they failed to turn in those aerobic cards. Oh well, there was always next week! Now letys see, that,s two hours of calisthenics with a heart rate of 175, which would be about ten points, or is it a heart rate of ten for 175 aerobic points? Gee, as a freshman, this could be figured out in a matter of seconds! fl Delinda Hensen's F it For a King Aerobics class was a popular way to rake in those aerobic points this year. Aerobics 78 Mike Kent Aerobic points are hardly on the minds of Dura Mater and the Abra Cavavers as these grad students engage in alittle intramural action. Whether running, walking, or bicycling, the outdoor track got lots of wear and tear as students earn those points. Aerobics 79 ssh' by Camille Lohse We all have felt it at one time or another, that gnawing, growling sensation which grows within us. Steadily, it intensely in- creases until it can no longer be ignored. Unpredictable, the sensation threatens to attack at any time. It does not matter when, except it is more commonplace during long, lonely hours when we laboriously study Humanities or cram for Chemistry exams. We resist the feeling, as we fumble with our papers on the desk, looking for stray nickels, quarters and dimes. Secretly we look to carry out our devious plans, praying that our room- mate twho is looking for change as welll will not notice our 'cweakv action. Willpower, however, finally gives way as the floodgates open. 'GI can,t stand itl I canit study unless lim munching on popcorn! Well, uh how about you, roomie?,, Eager eyes light up as a gigantic Msighv escapes from the lips of roomie across the room.

At the time being, they play second only to Momis good cooking and maybe Saga. It is time for junk food - the supplement to Saga for the ORU students, diet. Anytime a student is not in Saga, he is susceptible for an attack of the munchies to be carried out at the nearest vending machine, the Sub fthe students, fast food restaurantl or one of the many other eaters to be found near the ORU campus. Almost everything imaginable is available for a student to sink his taste buds into. Vending machines offer anything from candy to Doritos. Smaller snacks satisfy complain- ing stomachs and give energy to hard work- ing students who believe they need study breaks. Clenched fists will not intimidate this money hungry machine that obviously got the best of Kathy Breedon. Vending Machines 80 W Among OHU students eating often becomes more of a pasttime than a necessity. Decisions, decisions, decisions, what will it be this time? The process of getting processed food is not always easy, however. Walking up to the machine, we plug our change into it. After spending tedious minutes in decisionmak- ing, We hit the button marked B. We wait. We wait some more, and some more. The Lealization slowly sinks in. Where could B e?

There is action being carried out usually with a roomie, a friend, maybe even a Whole wing? What does it mean? It is as American as apple pie. junk food is more thanjust food, when you share it with friends. 9 Vending Machines 81 Y- by Camille Lohse Exams, papers, and classes seem to con- sume the majority ofa studentis time. There is extra time, however, for students to kick back and do some things they enjoy doing. Many students can be caught napping in their spare time as they attempt to catch up on those lost hours of sleep. Some students attend movies, plays and musical produc- tions on campus, as well as off, in their spare minutes. Some take up a hobby, or donate their free time to a special CSC ministry. Others can be seen going out to eat a fancy dinner with a special friend or date, while others can be seen in the late night invasion of the nearest ice-cream parlor. Others can be seen scheming their next practical joke, while others spend hours on the phone talk- ing to friends. As the sun grows warm, others can be seen enjoying its rays by playing iris- bee, softball, or a game of tennis. Brother- sister wings and special friends also manage to wedge their way into that extra time. It is this extra time, however, that many times contain the most precious and treasured memories. 6 It usually takes a good football team to muster up this much intensity among ORU students. l Relax 82 Obviously these gentlemen have an exciting evening planned as they wait for their dates to arrive. If this guy is fishing for his supper, there is no doubt that he, like the ducks, will end up eating stale bread.

As couples entered dressed in their suits and pretty spring dresses, they were greeted by the sights ofa 'iHawaiian Paradisef, The palm trees, flow- ers, chirping birds, not to mention the wind- surfer on the buffet table, all added that spe- cial feeling that made Spring Banquet some- thing to remember. Not only were the surroundings spectacu- lar, but the buffet table was filled with all kinds of delicious foods which included juicy roast beef, spicy chicken and baked fish, plus numerous salads, vegetables, and fresh fruits. For dessert, everyone tasted lucious sherbet and cake. The decorations also in- cluded conch shells with candles in them for each table. This, plus the band which played popular pop-rock tunes added to the special decor. After the banquet, many couples went to the concert which featured the Cruise Fami- ly and Lionel Harris. It was an enjoyable concert. Others chose to go to the movies which included The Man From Snowy River, Tootsie, or Ghamli. Regardless where couples went after the banquet, the evening had a fantastic begin- ning and could not end any other way.

While some ofthe recent graduates have entered private practice, others have chosen to acquire additional training. Rick Mowry has been selected to begin a four- year oral surgery resi- dency in California, fill- ing the single position available per year. Blake Synowski was accepted into a general practice residency in the U S Air Force. This highly competi- tive program affords training in all the various disci- plines of dentistry Kirk Norbo and Tony Albertoni will be entering similar programs in other institutions. Senior class members can be proud of the fact that their test scores on the National Board Exam, parts 1 and II were well above the national average. National attention was directed to ORU in the fall of 1982 when senior Mark Tiernan was elected president ofthe American Student Dental Association QASDAD. As president Tiernan IS the spokesman for all 22,000 den- tal students in the United States, and is a voting mem- ber ofthe House of Delegates of the American Dental Association Prior to his election, Tiernan served as district trustee for the same organization. Senior Blake Synowski was also active in ASDA, serv- ing as a feature editor for all their publications. Sopho- more Tom MCGlHD1ty and Junior Mark Karpovck were the ORU representatives to the ASDA, voicing the concerns ofthe ORU dental student body to the nation- al organization Dental research became a vital part of many students, education Senior Rick Mowry attended the 1982 American Dental Associationis annual session in Las Vegas where he presented his research on maxillary sinus mucous retention cysts. Senior Chuck Stewart was selected to present his research project on remov- able partial dentures to the American Association of Dental Research CAADRD at their meeting held in Cin- cinnati Ohio 1n March Stewart was the President of the ORU chapter of the student branch of the AADR, with over ten dental students actively involved in dental research Following the call of President Roberts, dental stu- dents went into every man s world weekly.

The areas of concentration are centered around -1 - - the schoolls theoretical framework, Nursing for the VVhole Person - spirit, mind, and body. Nursing is viewed as a goal-directed service derived from an identified knowledge base for the purpose of assisting the individual, family, and! or community, to promote, maintain, and restore health. The school believes that the person,s individual potential for nursing leadership can be best developed within the context of a Christian community which focuses on individual wholeness. The graduate of the master,s program is able to examine and test theoretical formulations for the practice of nursing and use these as the base for skilled practice in a selected area of clinical specialization in nursing. The graduate is prepared to utilize theories of management, clinical specialization, education and research within an identified area. Prac- ticums are offered in the selected functional roles of educator, administrator, or clinical specialist. The grad- uate is prepared to assume leadership by serving as a consultant in the management of health care and in the design of health care systems. Concepts from the Nurs- ing for the Whole Person theoretical framework are interrelated in three areas of concentration projected for the master,s degree. The areas toperational fields? are Nursing for the Individual, Nursing for the Family, and Nursing for the Community. The master of science in nursing program provides opportunities for the individual to strive for excellence in physical, mental, and spiritual paramedics. The stu- dent learns the interrelationship ofpractice, education, and research in nursing, and is given the opportunity to develop individual potential for leaders in the nursing profession in order to improve health care. The 274 students enrolled in the Anna Vaughn School of Nursing are offered both baccalaureate and masters School of Nursing 108 degrees. The baccalaureate program provided studeni with a broad liberal arts background for profession: nursing of which excellent physical, spiritual, an psycho-social care were a part. At the masters leve students trained for nursing leadership positions as edt cators, administrators, or clinical specialists. Here, cor centrated study ofnursing for the individual is offered i the specialized areas of gerontological and critical car nursing. The School of Nursing utilizes a variety of learnin approaches with supervised and coordinated clinicz experience, individual and group learning, dial acces programs, and simulated laboratories. The ten-to-on students-teacher ratio in both theory and practicur class situations gives nursing students the opportunit to work hand-in-hand with teachers who believe i training nurse Christians rather than Christian nurses Dr. Tomine Tjelta, Dean ofNursing, stated nursin students are Hof a special quality, for they must b self-reliant, committed and dedicated. But most of all they must have a vision ofa particularjoy in a calling t servef, With this goal in mind, students formed one-on-on relationships with patients dealing with problems tl depression. Ministering not only in hospitals and clinics through out the greater Tulsa area, but also through communit projects, students found vast opportunities for leaden ship outreach.

Inspired by the dean Dr Henry Migliore, both MAPCO and the Fluor Corporation pro- vided large grants to estab- lish the Chair of Free En- terprise. Dr. Eugene Swearingen, retired chair- man of the Board of the Bank of Oklahoma and past president of Tulsa University, became the first person to hold the chair His knowledge, wit, and fishing sto- ries provided an excellent basis for rapport with the students both in class and out. Another program which reached its full potential dur- ing the course of the vear was the series of Executive Action Seminars Originally conceived as a quarterly or ly program Continuing Education credits were offered for the series with successful completion leading to a management certificate A wide variety of outside speakers lectured on topics ranging from Personality Dynamics Profiles to strategic marketing planning. The seminars were primarilv aimed at local businessmen and businesswomen who had been out of school for some time and needed to brush up in specific areas. The seminar series was an overwhelming success with wide- spread acceptance from the Tulsa business community. Not content with their previous accomplishments, our goal oriented dean and his able assistant, Dr. Frank Pxomanelli decided to involve past OBU MBA,s in what would hopefullv become a monthly prayer breakfast. The first meeting was held at the Williams Plaza Hotel. Dr. ohn VanderWater who at that time was head of the National Labor Relations Board, delivered the speech. Both the organizers and participants were so pleased at the outcome of the breakfast that a luncheon was held during the spring semester. Dr. Piomanelli, our resident gourmet took special pains with the meal, personally selecting the items on the menu. On this occasion Dr. Swearingen was the speaker. His topic was very timely - Americals declining productivity.

All would-be majors and minors must complete six hours of accounting with a grade of a UCD or better before actually declaring a business major or minor. Three new faculty members were added to the Business Department staff this year. Mr. jack L. Haney previously taught at the University of Akron and Kent State University. He has completed his residency for his Doctorate of Business Administra- tion, but not his dissertation, from Kent State Univer- sity. This year he taught courses in Auditing and Business. Linda Pool is teaching Beal Estate. She has a B.A. degree from University of Northeastern Col- orado and two licenses which are the uBrokers Licensev and c'Realtor Associate Licensev. At the present time she is employed at Merrill Lynch! Detrick as an independent contractor. Daniel Ray Vosler previously taught at San Diego State Extension University, S.D.S.U., and The Pennsylvania State University. He has completed his B.A. in Business Administration from American River College, B. S. in Business Administration from San Diego State Uni- versity, M.B.A. from San Diego State University, and his Ph. D. is in progress in Business Administration at Pennsylvania State University. Intermediate typing became the newest suggested course for all business majors this year. The course was revised to emphasize operating skill at the com- puter keyboard. This revision is intended to aid the students in the Intro to Business Computing course also required for business majors. The assembly of senior projects is a valuable experi- ence for all senior business majors. The seniors work in teams of five with at least one person from each major area to evaluate an entire business. This evalua- tion includes listing the problems of the business and presenting a formal recommendation of solutions to the subject company. Many small businesses cannot afford professional evaluation of their practices and Business Business 120 procedures, and are therefore, greatly benefitted by the seniors, work. Small business evaluation is sponsored ant funded by the Small Business Adminstration of the U.S government. According to Dr. Ceorge Cillen, Business Department chairman, ORU senior projects are uthe bes in the state. H Last year one ofthe senior projects receiver the Regional Award of Excellence for the five state area o Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, ant Louisiana. Senior projects allow students to apply bool knowledge to business world-type situations. This prac tical application of knowledge is important to ORU senio business majors because most enter the business worlu immediately following graduation rather than pursuing an M.B.A. degree in graduate school. The clubs and organizations of the Business Depart ment offer opportunities to majors to become acquaintea with area businessmen in order to learn more about spe cial areas of the business world. These organizations in clude the Accounting Honor Society, the Administrativ- Management Society, the junior Chapter of the Ameri can Marketing Association, and the Future Secretarie Association. 9 4 ,Y . sl . udents spend hours working on basic skills that will enable them to be business Two heads are better than one - especially when accounting is involved, aders tomorrow. Business 121 Lights, Camera . . . ction by Lori Cooch Of all the possible majors through which one will have an opportunity to reach many people and be trained to effectively communicate, Communications Arts is the best example. No other major so effectively prepares students to go into every manfs world, where Codls voice is not known, ' . ' and be a witness for the Communlcatlon cause of' Christ. The Com- AI'tS munications Arts Depart- ment, headed by Dr. Tom Durfey, offers a student a chance to get in touch with those around him and prepare him to use tools that will help him reach people whether they be television audi- ences or class room children. Communication Arts has three divisions in which a student may choose a major study of interest. These divisions include InterpersonalfCrganizational Com- munication, Drama, and Telecommunications. In addition to academic work, communication arts offers many extra-curricular activities in which students may get practical experience. KUTA, the Oracle, Tele- news, Periheliion, the Promethia and forensics are just a few ofthe activities that are popular among students. Communication Arts majors have tremendous oppor- tunities for on-the-job experience with various in- ternship programs arranged by the Comm Arts Depart- KUTA, the student radio station keeps students informed through their DAIRS hook-up.

Telecommunications offers A variety of courses in television and radio production script writing, directing and broadcast electronics among many others. Majors in interpersonalforganizational communica tions are offered courses in forensics, speech com munication and various interpersonal workshops. Man of these courses are geared toward the study of rela tionships and prejudices in different cultures as well a our own American culture. Drama students, under the leadership of' Dr. Ra Lewandowski and Laura Holland, kept busy with the' studies in acting, theater design and history, and co.. tume design. They also participated in the vario dramatic productions held on campus each semeste The highlights ofthis yearfs drama productions were th plays The Crucible, The Star-Spangled Girl and th musical, The Singer. The Communication Arts Department is without doubt one ofthe most creative, productive, and verse tile departments on campus. 9 f Comm Arts students ready themselves for the weekly broadcast of University Update.

And I like knowing a broad range of informa- tion. I feel that my talents best correlate with this ' fieldf, But it takes a lot more than liking kids to get a teacher,s certification. There is a lot of work involved. just looking at an elementary education degree plan sheet gives one an idea ofthe diverse course require- ments for education. Unlike some majors, elementary education does not allow for many elective courses, Education even during the senior year, due to the wide variety of subjects one is required to study. v The education department stresses the use ot con- crete objects with children. There are classes on theory, but professors are usually candid about how those theories actually work in real-life classroom situa- tions. Students are also required to attend many practicums as they work toward observing and helping during actual classroom activities in Tulsa area schools. Keep- ing extensive files on such activities allows students to keep an evaluative record, for personal use in their own classrooms, of which activities the children responded to the best. Students must prepare many such activity file cards to meet requirements for their courses. The average amount is about one hundred cards. Students look to the Curriculum Media Center, a sort of library for education majors located in the Classroom Center, for help. These activity cards describe the activity, give the materials needed, and, after the student has given Elementary Education majors have a rewarding opportunity to watch children grow in practical knowledge. Education 124 ie activity a try in the classroom an analysis of how well ie children responded. One of the major requirements an education major is iced with is student teaching. Students are required to :udent teach for 15 weeks, giving weekly summaries and ase studies to incorporate into their senior papers. The 5 weeks can be divided into two 7 week periods, allowing iudents to teach at different schools, in different environ- ients, and at different grade levels. This, many times, 1elps the students to decide his or her own preferences in leaching. Dr. Wayne D. Lee, Director of Teacher Education, escribed the program here as being excellent. The raduates seem to have good placement, in the Tulsa area nd around the country. U With 500-600 students involved 1 the education department, it is one ofthe most popular lajors on campus. When asked about teaching opportunities, Dr. Lee stated that there has been a decline in students who want to teach on the secondary level. Owing to this decline, there is going to be an increased demand for these teachers in the near future. The education department is undergoing many changes in state regulations. The department has been busy working on new requirements both for students just entering the education department, and for graduating students. These changes went into effect for the fall semester of 1982. There are two clubs on campus specifically for edu- cation majors, the Student Education Association and the Council for Exceptional Children. Both clubs help future teachers become better aware of problems fac- ing the educational system. 9 Students listen intently as they learn about human anatomy from an Education Major. Education 125 tis a ar Greater Thing. by Phil jones One of the most frequent complaints of any christian university is that the students are too much alike. Con- sequently they never develop perspective beyond their own specific beliefs Students of the English depart- ment, however, don,t have this problem. In just one Shakespearian play students are exposed to more types of human beings than most universities are able to en- roll. Thatis perspective: Ancient men with modern problems, torn between right and wrong, questioning the purpose of love and eyen of life itself. Students of Shakespeare read twelve p ays. Of course, literature isnit always easy to understand neither is life and that's the purpose of English classes. Professors point out significant ideas that are usually missed on a casual reading, and the students respond. Classes are small, almost never over twenty students, usually closer to ten. Always, there is time to ask ques- tions. In fact, most professors feel disappointed if they are not interrupted during their lectures. What,s all this talk about literature not being rel- evantf, wonders English department chairman, Dr. William Epperson. i'It,s not that education should be relevant. Itis that it should make the students relevant. If an English literature major is willing to sell his abili- ties, there are few non-technical jobs he canit do well. If he supplements his education with technical training, then he can probably do anythingf, Said Michael Biavati, a first year medical student who minored in English, What good is it if you can make people well, but canlt understand what it means to be a human beingf, Rhondi Larson, another medical student agrees. I always liked English, and so when I was at ORU I took as many English classes as possible for my electives. But ifI could do it over, Iid do it like Michaelf, Dan Wells, a Communication Arts major, discovered the English department his junior year. 'Shakespeare was the first class that did what I always thought educa- tion should do. It challenged me. I learned things I couldnit have learned by memorizing a textbookf, Wells is now considering an English minor. The English Department offers majors in both En- glish literature and English education. According to one English Department publication: The English literature major focuses on the litera- ture ofa particular age, the history of the English lan- guage, and surveys of American and World literature. The English education major takes a slightly broader look at literature - surveying major trends - and adds grammar, education courses Cincluding use of mediaj, and studies in related fields, for example, speech, cine- ma, and journalismf, 9 English English 126 Dr. Grady Walker takes time to counsel a student in his writing k ll ., mi, 5 1 -s wf::: Q'-:rgfm-euf?w2.e.:fsQf,:-f W xgg mwwwxwf -'Q X, R Looking for an English Major?

English 127 nivcrslty puhl ca UI Modern Language Parle Vou eutsc . by Julie Howard Foreign language study plays an ever-increasing roll in the fulfillment of the vision and philosophy of Oral Roberts University under Grant Moore. Stu- dents and graduates are making their influence felt on the international scene in larger numbers. To be effective, whether in Christian service or in the business, medical or political world, the knowledge of the lan- guage ofthe people is de- sireable, even necessary. From approximately the mid-60,s to the mid-70's foreign language study in institutions throughout the United States was de-emphasized and requirements discontinued. Although many language programs suf- fered losses during this period, most of them did survive. More recently increased interest in language study has called for reinstatement of requirements in various institutions. The past Presidentis Commission on the Study of Languages has made recommenda- tions in favor ofincreased language study, the Cover- nor of Iowa in the past weeks has stressed his concern for increased language study, business leaders are publishing articles encouraging students to acquire foreign language skills. For a number of years after its inception, Oral Roberts University required two years or four semes- ters of foreign language study. Because of the de- mands in specific major areas, that requirement was reduced to two semesters ofthe same language as a general education requirement. While the bulk ofthe enrollment is made up of students matriculated in the bachelor of arts degree program, students from other areas where there is no language requirement, partic- ularly those who have been awakened to the interna- tional appeal, or opting for language courses. In con- trast to students from other countries who have tradi- tionally shared a common interest in languages for reasons of their proximity and for survival, American students have not felt the urgency of a second lan- guage acquisition. The competitve world market, a new view of the methodology of mission endeavors, and the prospect of international careers are making students more aware of the practicality and utility of the knowledge of another language. In keeping with recent trends, the Modern Lan- guage Department and the Business Administration Department are collaborating to inaugurate a busi- ness major-language minor for students in all areas of business, beginning the fall semester of 1983. The new venture is the culmination of past goals to incor- porate foreign language and business into three un- dergraduate degrees: Business French, Business Cer- Modern Language 128 man, and Business Spanish. Following the initial impli mentation of this concept, the Business Administratic Department anticipates the possibility of establishing 2 international business business major in the future. The! programs are designed into graduate business schoo' The minor includes courses to form a solid base of lai guage study followed by a course in contemporary cultui and civilization. A thorough coverage of office procedure and export market terminology will form the basis of tl course in business language. Various activities on campus encourage the student ' pursue and put into practical use their chosen adopte language. These activities include language conversatioi al tables in the cafeteria both at noon and eveningi regular club meetings of various nature, weekly Bib studies, culture-informative sessions for members summer mission teams, etc. Two professors, Mrs. Brent Calderon and Dr. Siegfried Heit, conduct yearly summi cultural and ministry-oriented tours to Spain and Centr Europe, respectively, for academic credit. Summer mi sion teams from Oral Roberts University will be going Europe, Latin American, French-speaking Africa, as w as many other countries. Those students going to t countries named will greatly benefit from their langua course at ORU. During the summer months of May and june, t Department ofModern Languages offers 3-week sessio of intensive foreign language study in Cerman. The Language Institutes meet eight hours a day and utilize th target language exclusively. A series of weekly evening classes through Continuin Education will begin on March 3 as a service to the largi Tulsa community in 4 language areas on three levels - beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Those languag are Chinese, French, Cerman, and Spanish. A rather large number ofstudents anticipate advanc studies in France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland d ing the school year 1983-84. Enthusiasm runs high amo this group. Because of communication and culture barriers in world society, participation in all the activities affordi orientation and greater understanding of foreign cultur is encouraged for all students. Prelaw, history, soc studies and business combined with a modern langua form excellent combinations for double-majoring. P med students anticipating participation in the future he' ing teams or medical missions might consider studies one of the foreign languages offered at ORU as prepa tion for service in some of the worldis most needy are Research and study are presently being conduct within the department to evaluate the present progr' and to review the trends of the times with respect foreign language and its instruction. The aim is to und stand the needs of instructional demands and to imp ment within the department changes deemed necess' sith respect to subject matter and its area of special terest at this time. Advanced conversation, translation, bd Biblical language represent some courses being dis- issed as possibilities for the future. For pleasure, for greater world understanding, for ofit, and for service - the knowledge of another lan- age is indispensable. 0 Practice makes perfect as language majors spend many hours perfecting their skills in the language laboratories. Modern Languages 129 ot 11 Fun a by janelle McFadden The Health and Physical Education Department holds special significance for the wholesome life-style students are to lead. An integral part of' any studentis life is aerobic exercise. The HPE Department offers a wide range of courses from which stu- dents can choose the type of' aerobic activity they wish to participate in. Along with swimming, cycling, jogging, and rack- etball, the department has instituted what Dr erry Clark, assistant professor of Health and Physical Education and coordinator ofthe activity program termed ucontemporary activitiesf, We wanted to make available those popular sports that meet students 1nterest,v says Clark. S'Skillful exercises that will keep the students active after their HPE courses as rock climbing, snow skiing, roller and ice skating backpacking skin diving, and new courses offered in 1982 83 plckleball and sailboarding. One slight change that has been made in depart- mental pollcv 19 that now aerobics points can be gained on the basis of heart rate rather than just distance and duration as before. Clark states, 'ithe days at the University? These activities include such HPE 130 nd Games true 'aerobic-ness, of any activity is the measurement c heart rate. ii Although there were no monumental change or new programs to be implimented this year, the depart ment is expanding the program to assist students wit physical limitations. Dr. judye Rasmussen is director c the adaptive program whose task is to provide rehabilitg tion services for all students. The HPE department looks for a stability within th programs it initiates. uThe verse that always comes ti mind is II john 2 which says, 'Beloved, I wish above ai things that you prosper and be in good health, even as th soul prosperethf ii Dr. Paul Bryntesen, chairman of th HPER Department revealed. Aerobic activity ofjoggin cycling and swimming sports are the foundation cours offered, sports such as basketball, tennis, and badminton are the building blocks from which active lifestyles ar built. HWe want to offer students a chance to gain skill that enable them to carry on vigorous, active lives con tinuouslyf, concludes Bryntesen. Aerobics is the key. In addition to the activity program for all students approximately 100 majors are pursuing a professiona career in one ofithree HPE majors - teaching, aerobics or recreation. The majors continue to excell in state ani national tests as indicated by the fact that all the major who took the State Teacher Certification Exam passed 1 and the average of' all the majors was in the 93 percentil of a National HPE examination. if All the hard work will eventually pay off for these HPE students. i 5 mf Aw gf ,, Piecing Together the Past by Dave Bell This department has more general education courses than any other, Humanities, American Government, and American History. The latter two are required by the state of Oklahoma. As far as a Christian college, this is the perspective that the History Department teaches those classes. We try to give some attention to what a Christian has to say about these. The humanities se- quence a four semester general education course gives a perspective as th where we have come from and where we may be going and how a person can affect a change for the better. As far as future goals and revisions the Humanities History and Political Science Department is looking toward revisions in all areas. Thev plan to continue to develop humanities the political science minor and history major. In the future there is a possibility of a political science major a Humanities major ind -in In- ternational Studies program. Historv majors are not only pursuing careers in law but education theology business and various other fields. Brad Snow senior history major explained what he thought history had to offer him. History enables one to learn the history of History mankind, to better understand the world that we live i and to hopefully learn from our forefathers their mi: takes so that we wonit repeat them. T, As a history major a student learns the technical skills of reading and writ ing that are a great advantage in a number of profe: sions. Another change that has been in the works this year i the revision in the general education humanitie courses. This year, students attended one live lecture week, usually given by their discussion group leader. Q this program is successful the University will be one i the few major universities using this teaching tecl nique. What many people don t know is th it a history majc can prepare one for almost any kind of graduate schoo Of those currently enrolled in medical schools acros the country approximately 8929 are history majors.

History 133 t,s All dding by Sue Rogers The 1982-83 Mathematical Science Department has grown over last year s department. The growth is expected to continue perhaps doubling in size over the next few years The growth is expected to come primarily in the area of computer science. Com- puter science majors in- creased from 97 declared majors in 1981-82 to 117 declared majors in 1982- 83. At the same time, the number of students pur- suing a degree in mathe- matics has remained steady with 18 students in this year s program The growth of the computer science department reflects the growing interest and necessity of comput- ers nationwide and internationally. To capacitate the Math cal Science Department will be adding a faculty mem- ber for the 1983 84 school year. Nearly every student enrolled in the undergradu- ate program at ORU is involved with the Mathemati- cal Science Department Along with Math and Society, which is a general education requirement for most of ORU s undergraduate degrees, many mathematics classes are cognate requirements for many bachelor of science degrees The birth of the Engineering De- growing students interest in this field the Mathemati- Math 134 partment this year will add students to the Calculus se quence, Diilerential Equations, Probability and Statis- tics, and first year computing. While the Mathematics Department draws most of it students from other departments, it also has a very fin program for Math and Computer Science majors. Thi excellence is reflected in two ofthe students ofthe 198 graduating class. Sam Hunter, a Computer Science ma jor, received the F ullbright Scholarship. Roger Smallj gan, another Computer Science major, graduated Sum ma Cum Laude with a 4.0 grade point average. Roger ha been accepted to john Hopkins School of Medicine. According to Dr. Verbal Snoolc, department chairn i'We are putting out highly marketable students.

Also, there is an exceptim opportunity for math teachersf' 9 4 little help never hurt since math can be quite a demanding major. tudents cram into every available seat for the chance to learn statistics. Math 135 The Spice of Contrary to popular belief, ORU has more than sports, singing, and sermons. 1t also has many credi- ble academic programs. The Natural Science Depart- ment has several of these. The Natural Science Department is more like a Division or School than merely another depart- ment. Its many curricula include majors in biology, biology education, chem- istry, biomedical chemis- try, chemistry education, medical technology, physics, physical science educa- tion, biomedical engineering, engineering science with emphasis in electrical or mechanical engineer- ing, and engineering management as well as prepro- fessional programs in premedicine, predentistry, pre- veterinary, preoptometry, prephysical therapy, pre- pharmacy, and more. The faculty and staff ofthe department are devoted to providing educational opportunities that will pro- duce graduates highly qualified in their fields. They accept the challenge to keep up with rapid pace of scientific discovery and add their own contributions as well. They also have balance within their fields and between science and Christianity. This faculty earned the respect of their colleagues as they delivered pa- pers and held high offices in both state and regional Natural Science -5 2 l , Natural Science 136 Life scientific organizations. ORU science students have also earned the respect o the scientific community. Tri-Beta, the biology honorary has been ranked in the top 10 chapters nationally for the last four years, being the very best one year and seconc best for 1981-82. The American Chemical Society rankec the ORU Student Affiliate Chapter in the top 100722 of tht over 750 chapters nationwide for three ofthe last 4 years The ORU Premedical Honor Society became only tht 133rd chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, the national Pre medical Honor Society. ORU science students have woi the travelling trophy 3 years out of 7 for their superio performances in reporting their own research at the Okla homa Academy of Science meetings. Over 75? of ou premedical applicants are admitted to medical school, fa more than the current-18? national average. Over 90? o- our predental applicants are accepted into dental schools Out claim to quality is confirmed by others who knov what quality is. The Natural Science faculty and students do more tha merely learn science. They are here for a common pu pose - to achieve their maximum potential in a fiel where Codis voice is heard small, llis light seem dim, an where peoplefs needs can be met in a compassionate sensitive manner. About one-third ofthe science facult are either from or have already done missions work i foreign countries, setting good examples for their stu dents who will later serve on healing teams. 9 Not really space invaders, just a couple of Natural Science students working in th lab.

An emphasis is ment are required of all - placed on basic christian I principles which are an essential part ofthe unique lifestyle at ORU. A basic difference be- tween our approach and the approach at other col- legesf, says Dr. Roy ' Hayden, chairman of -the department, is that we have a strong academic em- phasis taught from a Charismatic perspective. Em- phasis is placed on the operation of the Spirit in all aspects of our life. Life in the Spirit is a 24-hour-a-day experience. v Approximately ten percent ofthe student body ma- jors in one of the seven areas of concentration offered by the department. In the area of Biblical Literature there are majors in Old Testament, New Testament, and English Bible. Under Church Ministry are majors in Evangelism, Pastoral Work and Religious Educa- tion. The final area is Theological and Historical stud- ies. The majors in Evangelism and Pastoral work were introduced this fall in an attempt to meet the need of those students who want proper training, but are not planning to go on to seminary. A concentration of sixty to sixty-three hours fincluding thirty hours of Biblej equips the student with the basic knowledge and tools to enter the pastorate or the field of evange- ism. The department also sponsors the Hebrew Club, the Religious Education Club and Homiletics Club. Three new instructors were added to the faculty this year. Robert Braman, an ORU graduate took his work at Drew University, and needs only to complete his dissertation for his Ph.D. He teaches the Biblical languages and Qld Testament. Roger Olson studied at Rice University and also needs only to write his dis- sertation. He specializes in Theology. The third is james Shelton, an ORU graduate who received his doctorate from Stirling College in Scotland. Dr. Hayden is confident that the undergraduate depart- ment of theology now has one of the strongest teaching staffs in the University. 0 Theology Theology 138 Word Sass fx Students take time out from chapel to march for an eventual cure for cancer at t City of Faith.

The department explored new avenues of learning through new staff members, expanded facilities, and more contests, scholarships, and workshops. Activities for the year were many, but by far the most involved activity was the Oklahoma Wildlife Artists, Festival. A total of sixteen internationally .... known artists were invited to instruct University and local high school students while demonstrating their diversified talents. In order to equip the Art Department for the artists, use, a new workshop was installed, including a bronze and pewter casting kiln. The workshop took place on Feb. 22-26 and involved a total of 1700 students. The festival was large- ly funded by the Oklahoma Wildlife Artists, Festival and local businesses and industries. Another innovative event was the Scholarship Tea on the 60th floor ofthe City of Faith. The luncheon-tea was scheduled to raise money specifically for women art scholars. Painting students participated in the Crand Opening of the Woodland Hills Mall addition by competing for a Art X ,sa- Art 140 ith lair S3000 first prize in the History of Oklahoma Nlura Contest. The 8, x 12, mural was displayed alongside other state collegels entries and depicted historic event: of the state of Oklahoma and is now on display at the Tulsa International Airport. The Annual Juried Art Show in March features 700 1000 art pieces done by majors and non-majors alike. I new concept in the show was the placing of each piece along with an explanation of the placement by the judge. The Art Department grew in order to more specifical ly meet the students, needs.

Even though all are Christians, ability and talent were not sacrificed for their commitment to the Lord. Most professors who apply for employment are Christians who have achieved high goals in their lives.

The members ofthe drama department at ORU :el that almost any piece of literature can be used to lorify God or likewise any piece cannot be, the differ- nce lies in what your motivations are. Fame and fortune Le common goals in drama and yet at ORU we don,t look x those as our goals. The satisfaction of knowing that God well pleased with our efforts to use our talents in His ame is rewarding enough. A play is a vehicle through 'hich a message is conveyed and depending upon the nterpretation given to it, the message can vary. VVe 'ould like to believe that the members of our audience realize that even a non-Christian play can still glorify -od, and show His intervention in manls affairs. The question that should be foremost in Christian thea- fr-goers minds is not what play is being done, but for hat purpose it is being done.

The Titans beat many of the top ten teams in the country. The spring season started out on a shaky note. The weather was not very cooperative and Ieif Comhe was battling mononucleosis. The Titans got off to a had start with three horrible showings. The golf team backed themselves into a corner as far as the NCAA Championship was concerned. They needed some good finishes in the next few tournaments to get the bid for the NCAA Cham- pionships. The Titans accomplished this by placing in the top ten in the next three tourna- ments: Tuscon, the All- America and the Morris Williams. The Titans won the Midwestern City Con ference tournament fo the fourth straight yea and got their sixt' straight bid to the NCAz Championships.

This club is headed by Coach Iudye Rasmussen of the HPER depart- ment. This year com- pleted the clubs fourth year of tournament play. The Titan bowlers are one of four members of the Oklahoma Intercol- legiate Travelling Team, along with Oklahoma State University, East Central State Universi- ty, and Tulsa University. Their season consisted of eight tournament match- es in the OITT. The ORU club owes its existence to Riverlanes Bowling Alley, their sponsor. Riverlanes not only sponsors the club, but also provides them with their team shirts, their travelling ex- penses, and also hosts all the home tournaments. As a return service, the ORU bowlers volunteer their services to help all future bowlers in the American junior Bowl- ing Congress. The 1983 Bowling Club continued the tradition of excel- lence in athletics for the University. This yearfs team increased their competition while also assisting in the Iunior League program at Riverlanes. The outlook for next year is very optimistic. Coach Rasmussen will be recruiting several men and women to replace any open spaces, and hopefully the 1983-84 team will bowl their way to more victories once again. 9 Bowling 170 The coach stands with her bowling This bowler shows perfect form as team as they take a break at their picks up h s spare practice spot, Riverlanes Bowling Alley.

Born out of necessity, the ORU fenc- ing team now faces the uphill battle toward cred- ibility. When the NCAA upped the mini- mum requirement of male varsity sports for Division I school, the fencing team was estab- lished. But what was to be expected from the 82- 83 squad? HWe started out at ground-zero, but we had some talented athletesf, says volunteer coordina- tor Art Wade. He and head coach Dawn jacob- son shared the task ofnot only building a team from scratch, but also getting it ready for NCAA competition. We lacked NCAA expe- riencef said Iacobson. But we hoped to make up for it with plain old enthusiasm. U Iacobson is quick to point out that her four- fencing tea or Cne man squad established a strong foundation from which to grow. Assistant coach Wade pulled no punches in his evaluation of this yearis squad. i'On the collegiate level, teams compete in three events - foil, epee, and saber. Unfor- tunately, we have not been able to devote as much time to the epee and saber as we would like. We should be de- cently effective in the foil, but it will take some time before we become efficient in the epee and saberf, Wade is excited, however, about what the addition of fencing means to the sport in this area. 'Fencing is a slowly but steadily growing sport. I consider ORU,s commitment a great op- portunity for the sport in Oklahoma.

They immediately take a liking to us and they welcome us as guests into their homes. Itls an open door to be a witness of Christ to people that we other- wise could not reachf, This statement, made by a past participant in the ORU korfbal program, is a summation of the pur- pose and mission of the ORU korfbal club, now in its sixth year of exis- tence. The sport korfbal has become somewhat of a pastime in Europe, especially in Holland where it origi- nated some seventy years ago. It has begun to gain popularity in Amer- ica, with clubs springing up in Texas, New Mex- ico, Oregon, and of course, Oklahoma, where ORU has de- veloped perhaps the finest program this side of the Atlantic. The simplest way to describe korfbal Qwhich korfbal players find they are often asked to doj is to say that it bears some resemblance to both bas- ketball and soccer. Points are scored when a player shoots the ball fa regulation soccer balll into the wicker basket which is suspended on a twelve foot pole. The field is broken up into three zones, with two zones having one basket Korfball 172 for korfl each and the third zone being middle transition zone. There is no backboard on the korf, so players can set up shots from any side of the post. The sport in- volves an extensive pass- ing game as neither run- ning with the ball nor dribbling is permitted. A unique aspect of korfbal, and one that will proba- bly ensure the continued gain of its popularity in America, is that it is co- ed, with an equal num- the Sam Houston State University invitational tournament in Texas, and in April they won the National Korfbal Tourna- ment, which they hosted here at ORU. So, not only does ORU have a korfbal team, it has the national cham- pions as well. The club,s purpose in traveling I Europe is not merely 1 play korfbal with othf teams.

Dura Mater, the Medical School,s team, with the stain of Youngblood still on their hands from the semifinals, steamrolled over OP in what was a return to an earlier time, last year.

From the first day, students stepped onto the cam- pus in August, signs of SA,s de- sire to serve the students were evident. Yes, those durable green carts which lugged every- thing from stereos to plants to mountains of clothes were a ser- vice of SA. As the year progressed special events such as concerts by Ben- ny Hester, Russ Taft and Michelle Pilar were held. The highlight of December was the Christmas Banquet, A Festival of Lights. Frosted Christmas trees, candles and delicious food changed SACA into a holiday wonderland. c'The Christmas Spectacularv with Reba Rambo and Donny McCuire, Stephanie Boohsada, and the Archers as well as the ORU concert choir kept the audience spellbound with a rendition of the Lord,s Prayer. Again in April, SA provided the creativity in planning the spring banquet. A Hawaiian luau was complete with the usual native delicacies includ- ing fresh fruit and spicy chicken.

Less glamorous, yet vital to the life ofan ORU student, were the check cashing privileges at the student bank. Discount movie tickets to Tulsa area the- aters were also sold. If studies became too much, a trip down to the game room for a quick game of Pac Man, Donkey Kong or pool helped ease ten- sions. The SA-sponsored game room was a popular gathering place for many students. Yet the 1982-83 Student Asso- ciation can be remembered H even more. Organizing an clearly defining its role in rel tion to the administration ar the student body was one of tl top priorities. The constitutic and by-laws were updated. policy and procedure manu was compiled including the d ferent job descriptions for vel ious positions.

The finished hard- bound copy now sits before the judges - the student body. Yet, with all the photos, cut- lines, and copy printed and bound, something is missing. One untold saga of what went on behind the scenes before the book went to print, has been de- leted. The total number of hours spent planning, organizing, and contacting people is incompre- hensible.

Where experience lacked, prayer and a drive to succeed made up the difference as stu- dents learned the various skills involved in producing a book. By the end of the year, the staff had become a close-knit team offering a helping hand where necessary. Like a family, there were tense moments, especially as deadlines drew closer and closer and the work did not seem to be flowing together as we had envisioned it would. At first, I had been the uoptimisth of the group believ- ing that we could do it despite the circumstances. Having worked on a yearbook staff before, I had an idea of the amount of work that needed to be done. Yet, as the end of the semester drew closer and closer with over half the book to be completed, fear and frustration took over, my patience grew shorter and so did the number of day left. By the time I had taken my last final, two section editors had left without completing most of their share of the work. Still, those of us left, trudged on working late night after night, skipping meals and joking that we would begin eating the book itself if we didn,t get some food in our stomachs soon.

The janitor looked up. Those people from the Ora- cle use thatf he replied as he dumped the garbage. That,s about as much as any- body knew about production. Nobody had warned us. We worked, mainly by trial and error, for 72 hours straight the first week. The janitor himself can attest to such, for he remem- bers us taking periodic catnaps under the production tables when he would come in at odd hours. Needless to say, most of us were new on the staff. I had worked the year before as Arts or Entertainment editor and col- umnist. Our managing editor had one semester in and our business manager, well, she knew business things, not pro- duction. But despite this intense news- paper background, when ' came to computers and their u keep, we had a total of 37 mi utes experience among us.

Portrait of a President ral Roberts, the man, at times appears larger than life. Perhaps unfairly viewed by the media, he remains resilient and a constant believer in the students of his University. Understanding now, more than ever, that the burden of his ministry lies upon the students here, Presi- dent Roberts fervently supports the efforts ofthe graduates in all areas of endeavors. Not everyone has to be a minis- ter to preach. A housewife can do it for her family and that is the true code of this Universityf, he will tell you. If belief in each student at the University to do Cod's work sounds a bit idealistic, Roberts, supporters would probably have you look around: The University, the City of Faith, the entire Ministry. Still sound a bit idealistic? At the base ofthe empire remains a man unconcerned at what his earthly ears hear, but rather greatly influenced by the subtle detections of his spiritual ones. F rom the logical point of viewf, Oral says, they ought to be patting me on the back, and thanking me for my work. Oral Roberts 214 i'From the spiritual point of view, if they did, that would be the world changing its naturef, The years have not changed the story any. The stories he thrills his audience with today are the same ones he was telling thirty years ago. The message remains consistant. Take the Gospel into every manis worldf, he insists. Oral Roberts is not known for change. In fact, his hallmark is his stability. His belief that he will al- ways be associated with the Univer- sity until he goes to heavenf, ex- emplified this form of strength. Throughout his life, though the bulk of his admiration is derived from his unwillingness to compro- mise. Oral Roberts University and the City of Faith closely parallel the life of President Roberts - all three represent the idea a cut abovef, Realizing that the transformation from a Christian institution to the real worldv can be difficult, Roberts believes that within three to ten years after graduation, the students will know exactly what Cod wants them to be that's truly being a cut abovef, As an academic leader, President Roberts reigns as unique and deter- mined. Few men have accom- plished as much at an institution as Oral Roberts. Building a Hserious academic! communityn involves building re spectability. With the operation ol seven graduate programs, the Uni versity is quickly achieving that. So this man takes each day i stride. Achievement is nothin new.

Chair- man emeritus Lee S. Braxton passed away in the fall of this year. Braxton helped select the founding Board and served as chairman for sixteen years. News from the Board grew faint until again they were called to attention for graduation. Well liked and respected regent Fred W. Vanstone received an hon- orary degree at the commencement In addition to the semi-annual board meetings, re- gent Bill Ramsey of Oklahoma was able to spend time one on one with the president. Board of Regents 216 exercises for his many contributions to higher education and non-profit organizations. The Board consisted of thirty- nine active members who actually vote on policy changes of the Uni- versity, two associate regents, two emeritus and one honorary regent. The executive committee con- sisted of the president, chairman of the Board, vice chairman and five members selected at large. This committee met once each month and reported to the semi-annual Board sessions. In the fall of 1962, the first Boare met with only thirty-four members Inst a year later the State of Oklaho ma granted the University a not f profit organization charter, at whicl time the whole man, spirit, mint and body, seal was adopted. The Board performed the cu tomary duties of policy makin approving the operating budg each year and approving the desi nated officers, administration ana faculty.

Deep down inside there was a part of me that dreamed some day of having a healing ministry of my own. That dream really came to pass in April of 1980. That night the anointing of the Holy Spirit came upon me like I had never felt it before. I had always prayed in a general way for the peo le, but I finished my sermon and, suddenly I was call- ing out specific diseases and asking those who were suffering from those illnesses to stand for prayer. The results were amaz- ing. And since that night, the anointing has just kept getting stronger and strongerf, Richard,s crusade schedule be- Eame so stringent a year ago that he equested a release from all ad- ninistrative duties so that he could concentrate on full-time evange- ism, preaching in crusades, answering his mail, and preaching on television and at the ORU semi- nars. Even with the cuts, Richardfs schedule demands total dedication to the call of Cod on his life. His crusades reach around the world now and the ones held on foreign soil have opened doors for mission teams and healing teams from ORU and the City of Faith. Once a month he makes it a priority to minister to the ORU students in a chapel service, and twice a year he hosts the Youth Seminars where prospective students come to learn about ORU as a potential choice for their higher education. Hundreds of young people have left these seminars with new commitments to esus Christ and with their sick odies healed. Several times each year the part- ners of the ministry are guests at Laymenis Seminars held on the ORU campus. Here, too, Richard is active as he ministers Cod's healing power through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He says of his work: Cod gave my dad a vision. I understand and share that vi- sion. I'm willing to suffer for it. I believe in it. I can see the pur- pose ofit, because I see how itfs helping people get their needs met. If my dad were to die to- day, I would feel like Elisha felt when he picked up the mantle of the pro het Elijah, whom he succeedled. Elisha looked up and said, :Where is the Lord Cod of Elijah? He didnit look down at the mantle either. Iid look up and say, 'Where is the Lord Cod of Oral Roberts? And I would, with Codis help, go on with my dad's work - finish the City of Faith Research Center, go on with the university, go on with the dream that I grew up with, raise up the healing teams, go on with the television minis- try.

But although ORU is better than most, uthatls not what makes it a university a cut above all others. U Because we believe we are building Cod a university - and that is what we believe we are doingf, states Dr. Hamilton, i'We are a cut above in our calling, our devotion to it, and our mission. 'iBecause we believe we are building Cod a university, itls all the more possible and necessary that everything we do in Jesus, name be our best and of the highest quality. To the administration, this goal has translated into a shift from an 18-year rapid-building stage to one of developing and fine-tuning the programs that we,ve established. As Administration 220 Dr. Hamilton likes to say, Were moving from quality to excellencev in all areas of the university by an Hevolutionary, not revolutionary series of incremental stepsf, Weive started Look Upl Reach Out! programs for participative managementv which Hamilton hopes will generate an attitude of openness and even more opportuni- ties for participation in the future by students, faculty, staff and adminis- tration. As a university, our excellence has been publicly recognized. Weive gained accreditation on top of accreditation. The New York Times published a survey stating ORU,S academic programs are the highest and best qualityv in Okla- homa. But success - being the best is more than having high academic achievement. It's the people of ORU which carry our reputation and ministry to the uttermost parts of the earthf, Collins Steele Anyone who has spent nearly 3i years serving one man, would cer tainly get to know quite a few thing about that man, and what he stand for. Such is the case with Vice President for Operations, Collin Steele. It was the attitude of the ministq that prompted Mr. Steele to be come a part of it. It is that sam- attitude that he feels sets the Uni versity, and the ministry apart. The reason ORU is a cut above i because of our unwillingness to se tle for mediocrity. We are a c above academically. Ild like to thin we,ve made great strides spiritua lyf, he says. All of the in-house complimen heaped upon the school would be little value if the outside world di not acknowledge ORU,s acco plishments, however, and Steele ' proud to note some of them. It is not only his long tenure as a employee of the ministry that giv Steele his basis for his beliefs, b his closeness to the students. H house is the only one on campu and he has entertained students o occasion. He is impressed by wh he sees in the students. I feel ver good about the quality of studen and life. Physically, look at out st dents, you will not see too man students who are not physically fit, he notes. Gf course, nothing is perfect. C' breaks my heart to see a small el ment of the student body th doesn't seem to take what is offere to expand themselves.

V.. orge Stovall Vice-President of Operations and Trustee of the Oral Roberts vangelic Association, Mr. George ovall has spent over half of his life, years, in service to this ministry. He says, 'Tm happy heref, God put me in this position. I feel as as I can be.

ORU is full and bright and ilt on opportunity and a lot of allengesf, Mr. Stovall feels ORU has a ique position in higher education in that it is part ofa ministry that will be on-going. Methods change, but the mission and call will not change. In a few years it will dawn on some students all the good that they have had placed in their lives here, and I think that,s natural. I think a lot of students learn that it's much tougher academically here. ORU is living up to its goal of striving for wholeness in body, mind and spirit, and is increasing in its achieving that goal each year. I donit think we ever reach perfection, we,re always striving for it. ORU gets better all the time. Its level of perfection is very high and is increasing with ex- periencef, He smiles and adds, Businessmen are very happy with ORU graduates. I think we rate very high in their opinion, both in their technical knowledge when they get on the job, and in their person and personal integrity. Our graduates are sought by the busi- ness world because they are a 'cut abovefv Vice Provosts As Vice Provost for the School of Arts and Sciences Dr. Robert Voight feels one of the reasons we are a top quality university is that we have a clear cut reason for beingn and Uwe are in harmony with the goals and purposes set by Presi- dent Robertsf, That dedication to the reason for being draws students who come with a sense ofpurpose and a desire to serve others. Here students are disciplined and given a value educa- tion which is notjust knowledge but also morals based on scripture. We develop here a lifestyle with a quality education. Because of the nature of the campus we have be- come the best of a university and the best of a Bible college togetherf, Another thing that sets us apart is the reality of Lordship and the em- phasis onthe Holy Spirit. We donit have adversary relations on campus because of the unity of the spiritf states Dr. Voight. One advantage of the University is that all eight schools are com- bined in a central location, and Dr. Robert Voight often times there is interaction be- tween them. There is a definite uni- ty of the body when the whole cam- pus assembles together during bi- weekly chapel services. Dr. Voight sees the President as setting an example of excellence by obedience and faith in Codf, By merely looking around it is obvious what obedience to Cod can dof, Administration 221 DMI I TR TIC Vice Provosts Dr. James Buskirk After a short interview Dr. Bus- kirk submitted this response as to why he considers the school a cut above. Oral Roberts University is a cut above. It shows in every component of the ministry. It is a cut above educationally. This is the case because we believe that each person is a spirit, with a mind and abody. CCenesis 2:75 Thus the mind is not supreme. The spirit is. President Roberts likens it to the female deer who, unlike the male deer, or the buck, is so created that her hind feet track her front feet perfectly. Thus she can go higher than the buck into the mountain fHabakkuk 3:19D to bear her young in safety. Here at ORU the spirit is like the front feet and the mind tracks the spirit like the hind feet track the front. We say, uThis is not first an educational institution. It is a life-style with an education in- cluded. We pray in the spirit and interpret back so that the mind is watered by the spirit. This is not a Administration 2.22 john Dewey educational system. It is divinely inspired of the Holy Spirit. The area I know best is the School of Theology. A cut above here is an understatement. This is the only charismatic accredited School of Theology in the world to my knowl- edge. Where else on earth is there such an assembly of charismatic car- ing faculty with earned doctorate degrees and such a passion for ex- cellence in ministry? This Bible- based seminary has students from 41 states, 9 countries and 18 de- nominations. Combining classical theological education with char- ismatic concern the ORU School of Theology endeavors to prepare stu- dents from a broad cultural and reli- gious spectrum for competent min- istry in the church, the classroom, and the world. At our core we are churchmen and churchwomen. President Roberts has felt called to be a heal- ing to the body of Christ. Our mul- tidenominational, biblical, char- ismatic seminary will by the power of Cod fulfill that mission. A cut above? Yesl, and more! Dr. james Winslow What a priviledge it is for ORI and specifically the City of Faith have such a fine leader as Iam Winslow, M.D. He serves thru vital roles in the ministry of Or Roberts. Dr. Winslow is chief Vice Provost for health affairs. Q addition he serves as a regent well as member of the athletic cor mittee. A truly versatile leader, Winslo graduated from the University Tennessee in 1959. The stando basketball player exudes the wh man image in all its glory. His p sonal life is a cut above I as are professional accomplishments. Much of the technical design workings of the City of Faith can directly or indirectly traced to the sires of the former Chief of Staff Tulsais Childrenis Medical Center. I and President Roberts work diligently, hand in hand, to m C ,S dream a reality in the hum rhelm. In 1982-83 the City of Fai obtained a Nuclear Magnetic Re nance machine. This is a vital tool the fight against Cancer. With this the arrival of more skilled physici the City of Faith is rising into the of the finest cancer research facili known to men. Dr. Winslow sees the arrival the NMR as only a small glimpse what the future holds for the min try as Well as the City of Faith. T growth potential is unlimited Codls voice is heard clearly by In addidon to heading the City Faith, Dr. Winslow is charged the operating of the graduate Sch of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursi With the hel of the many skill deans he has brought ORU into forefront in health care training at university level across the nadon. Devoted father, husband and s vant of Cod, jim Winslow is truly cut aboven. Deans School of Education r. Richard atson The School of Graduate Educa- on strives to provide a program at responds to all Christian educa- rs, in any environment. c'This is niquelf, according to Dr. Richard . Watson, Dean of the School of ducation. Dr. Watson emphasizes at the ORU Graduate School of ducation striving to meet Chris- an educator,s needs in all settings based on the Bible. He says that hristian educators often have aried ministries depending on here they serve, whether in a par- teaching in a home setting, pub- school setting, or private Chris- school setting. In a secular set- g, a Christian teacher would likely have an evangelistic Whereas in a Christian environment, a teacher,s and therefore their train- ing needsl would be different. We respond to the needs of Christian educators regardlessf, Watson emphasizes that having the Holy Spirit as an integral part of the University and its educational system sets the School apart. Any teacher we graduate should have a better understanding of his Chris- tian faith, and how that is applicable for him as a teacherf, According to Watson, an emphasis of the Cradu- ate School of Education is to give each teacher experience in the set- ting he plans to be a part of. The School of Education is work- ing to develop in order to develop a series of specialty programs in order to develop students who would be faculty specialists. For example, if a classroom teacher Was also a reading specialist, this would increase that teacher,s employability and attrac- tiveness as a potential teacher. School of Law The O.W. Coburn School of Law is uniquef, stated Dean Charles A. Kothe. First, it exists Within Oral Roberts University - not adjacent to it or separate from it. It is an integral part of the Oral Roberts University whole-universityv cocept, without loss of identity or independence. Our concern at ORU is with whole lawyers, whether practicing law, filling judicial posts, or provid- ing governmental leadership. Our concern is with educating students to understand all phases of human existence, which We believe Will re- sult in a better understanding of societies and social issuesf, ex- plained Kothe. Second, the O.W. Coburn Charles A. Kothe School of Law is firmly rooted in religious values. We believe this is a return to the primary American posture for legal education and in no Way is contrary to the role of private education in American historyf, emphasized Kothe. Third, the School of Law has arisen from an expressed need of the interna- tional partnership constituency of the Oral Roberts ministry for quality legal counsel, judicial process, and govern- ment leadership embedded in reli- gious principles. The O.W. Coburn School of Law is not just another law school. Our purposes, philosophy, integral stance in the master plan of Oral Roberts University, place in the American education, and support constituency have resulted in a self- imposed extension beyond the basic minimal requirements upon which many law schools have been found- ed,v summed Kothe. Administration 223 MI ITB 'no G3.I1S School of Business 4 Henry Migliore Henry Migliore, Dean of the ORU School of Business, is very aware of the differences between his school and business schools else- where, citing many reasons why his is a cut abovev the rest. In a controversial article issued last year, Time magazine criticized the nation,s business schools for their lack of ethics, dehumaniza- tion, and a lack of planning, among other problems. There were ten major points where they were crit- ical of all the business schools of America, so, as I would pass each major point, I would say in my mind, as biased as the dean would be, I feel that the ten major problems are our ten major strengths. Migliore also proudly notes that the ORU MBA graduate is one of the most sought-after graduates to- Administration 224 dayf, One reason, perhaps is the statistical revelation that, for School of Business graduates, the turnover rate is one-third the national aver- age, and, says Migliore, You can expect the OBU graduate to be hap- pier on the job and stay longerf, He also asserts that Christianity and business mix well. The Bible is the best business textbook ever written. We are continually study- ing business and biblical princi- plesf, School of Dentistry 1' 4 Dr. Robert Hansen The Michael Cardone Senior School of Dentistry is the newest school in the nation. Being a new school we can take the expertise of other schools and incorporate our own dental concepts to merge with a dental school which is a cut above othersf stated Dr. Robert C. Han- sen, founding Dean of the school Many factors go into making th School of Dentistry at ORU a Cl above others. One main factor is th facilities. The facilities are th newest, and the best technology ca produce. They provide the studer with an atmosphere to learn and da velop to the best of his ability. A uniqueness in learning foun only here is the Dental Center. Th center adds a uprofessional offi flavorf states Hansen. Plans are intergrate the professionalism oft Dental Center into the Medic' Center environment of the City Faith to bring about an even great essence of prayer and health in de tistry. The facilities not only are a c above other schools but the quali of the students here are also a c above. School of Nursing Dr. Tornine Tj elta We,re honoring Him, matis why weire winningf' mis is how the Dean of Nursing, r. Tomine Tjelta, explains the iiqueness of their department. The cal hospitals strongly support the 'ogram at ORU, and nationally it is rnsidered a model. Dr. Tjelta mints to each student, and faculty emberis personal commitment, as ,e states, We depend on being d by the Holy Spiritf' Their suc- :ss is obviously a result of their lationship to a living Cod. What then is the difference be- feen ORU student nurses and stu- -:nt nurses elsewhere? Everything - their background, education, tpearance . . . and achievements. he Bible,s teaching on healing, .d the infilling ofthe Holy Spirit is e best way to equip a nursing identf states Dr. Tjelta. A common question at ORU why is the nursing program Ildifficult? Dr. Tjelta answered 's question by stating, They are dy to practice their profession en they get outf' Even though acticum takes much time, itis orthwhile. It,s not the uniforms that make U student nurses special at the spitals around Tulsa, but their rsonalities. They are known to be at and clean, their attitudes are sitive, and the students try to rk with people. In short, they're terested in learning. HThese uld be some of the characteris- s of a Christian individualf, Dr. lta proudly points out. c'There is probably no other ool in the nation that has accred- tion for both undergraduate and duate levels without any recom- ndations for improving the pro- msf, This vote of confidence lds to 1990. The program will ve as a model for new nursing ools to be built nationwide. School of Medicine Dr. David Henshaw Dr. David Henshaw, Dean ofthe School of Medicine at Oral Roberts University, is proud of the fact that he leads a school that is a cut above other schools of its type in the country. The strength, the former Dean of Loma Linda University School of Medicine, in California, contends is in the ORU graduate schoolis per- sonnel. Students and professors unite in the common goal, bringing the healing power of Cod into the lives of the needy. This is a unique situation in modern day medical schooling. Personal gains are only secondary to the students at ORU as each real- izes a higher calling. This higher level of need can not be satisfied by money or power but only through a better knowledge of Iesus Christ as healer and savior. It is for this very reason that Dr. Henshaw believes that each poten- tial doctor is so dedicated to his stu- dies. The new dean arrives with the task of channeling this capacity into fine medical minds for the future. Administrative Staff Robert Skolrood Robert Skolrood had a variety of experiences on the legal field before becoming ORU,s General Legal Counsel. When asked why ORU is a cut above, he responses, 'CI think ORU,s a cut above the others be- cause I think the students, the facul- ty, and the staff come here with a commitment to jesus Christf, Skolrood feels that the commit- ment continues with ORU students as they move into the business world. Ulf you have a commitment in Christf' he explains, 'iyou have a commitment to a purpose, so that in the working world, you,re commit- ted to giving one hundred percent of your abilityf, In reference to ORU Law School graduates, he says, i'They know where they are going and what they want to do, as far as their work ethic and their personal livesf, Administration 225 MI 1 TR TIG dministrative Staff Dr. James Kraft 1983 marks Dr. James Kraffs tenth year anniversary as a physi- cian on staff at ORU. As Director of Student Health Services, he is also celebrating his sixtieth birthday. As he sits at his desk, hurriedly shuf- fling through favorite snapshots of marathons and trackshoes, he simp- ly cannot wait to show and tell you, it's the lifestyle promoted by ORU that makes me feel anxious to be sixtyf, One cannot help but notice that he thinks ORU is a cut above the others. He left a successful twenty-year private practice, because he be- lieves in theucommitment to excel- lencev ORU has, and the high quali- ty of opportunities provided by ORU to its students. Dr. Kraft feels there are many areas which ORU exceeds the norm. One of the best examples, and the one he is in closest contact with, is the student health service. Proudly pointing out that it is their continuing aim to better serve Administration 226 ORU students than any other stu- dent health servicef' Dr. Kraft re- ported success rates of 90-100'Zn for the 1981-82 fat control program. The entire aerobics program that has evolved is, by far the most suc- cessful program we,ve ever hadf, stresses Dr. Kraft. He also applauds ORU's ability to serve handicapped students with an Houtstanding amount of lovef, not always found when you look at many other uni- versities. Those are just a few areas he touched as he added, 'CI believe with all the things that might be found wrong, we really do have our heads in the clouds, striving for ex- cellence in all aspects of a universi- ty, but our feet on the ground, giv- ing students realistic ways to approach itf, is Q: . , L nm Dr. William ernigan Dr. William Jernigan, Directc of Learning Resources and Dean c Instruction, has been with ORT since 1965, and he has seen his de partments become a cut abov other universities in many ways. The major cutting edge that administer is the university librar which has been a first class librar since the beginningf, Dr. Williar Jernigan goes on to say, The Boar of Regents has had the commitmer to support the library which is no' the fourth largest library in Oklahq ma with over a million piecesf, The library is also a cut abov others in that it is composed ofman- libraries in one location. U Dr. Jern gan believes that the central loca tion of all the libraries has give ORU the lead in purchasing and a ministration. We have cut costs having one department to hand purchasing and one to handle a ministration, instead of having ind vidual purchasing for each gradua and undergraduate libraryf, Besides holding the position chief administrator of the librar Dr. Jernigan has played a major ro in pioneering many areas of stude instruction at ORU. We have be a pioneer in the use of televisio syllabi, and instructional objectiv in education at ORU. Dr. Jernigan maintains, ut course syllabus has probably be the best thing put together i ORU,s instructional programmi because the syllabus requires t professors to be prepared, and communicates to the students wh is acceptablef, Nilliam F. Brunk We're not interested in mediocrity here at ORU, says Villiam F. Brunk, Director of Uni- rsity Development. We are now a position to move from quality to cellencef, The new administrative depart- ent centralizes responsibility for liiblic relations. University Devel- ment is the umbrella for all ORU umni and public relations, as well as l school publications. Another ma- r function of development is fund ising. c'The welfare and future of e University depends on fund isingf, states Brunk. By 1988, we ill provide endowment for the uni- rsity so that each of the schools is lf-sufficient. U The programs that his depart- ent promotes are what makes RU a cut abovef, Brunk asserts at HORU is the only university in merica with the breadth of pro- ams in both professional, and un- ergraduate schools, while being cused on, and committed to oper- ing in an environment saturated by Godis Spiritf, In the department, Brunk cites the professional, committed em- ployees as what makes the ORU de- velopment program above the rest. But in addition to being motivated, They have an excellent program to sellf' The program at ORU makes it all worthwhile. Here, weive created a department that exists to serve. We make it possible for everyone else to be heref, gg., Q- s Bob Brooks Bob Brooks, Director of Athletic Affairs, feels that ORU is not just a cut above other schools, but ex- ceeds in a class all its own. We try to do well, notjust for the sake of having good sports teams, but we want to be the best to be a witness, U stresses Brooks. It makes a big difference to lose. We canit accept losing as a way of lifef, We haven't achieved any goals yet. Each sport has done very well, but we have great expectations for more. We want to be able to com- pete in the Top Ten. We know what winning means, and we are not too timid, or whatever, to play hardf, 'iIfI was a teenager, Iid die to come here. The atmosphere is wonderful. If anyone listens and observes, they canit help leaving here a better person. Itis all a strug- gle, but itis a lot of good to carry through life. We care about our athletesf, Richard Bonwell Richard Bonwell, Director of Human Resources is responsible for establishing policies, procedures and functions to maximize Human Resources.

A person who is prepared in mind, body, and spirit to face the challenges and opportunities of to- day and tomorrowf, He goes on to say, A person who has developed a lifestyle which is personally rewarding, as well as eing a role model for others. A person who is ready to successfully compete and contribute to making this a better worldf, Administration 227 DMI I TR TIG Administrative Staff Associate Dean Student Affairs Dean of Students jack Wallace God wants everyone to be on the top cutting edgef, says lack Wal- lace, Dean of Student Affairs. The Student Affairs Department works with the students, and especially the student leaders, to keep ORU on that top, cutting edge. Dean Wallace emphasizes that the purpose of ORU is for students to come and seek to hear what God has planted in our hearts. It takes special, special people to make this campus the best it can be. That special, special is the Holy Spiritf, In his opinion, the student lead- ers are a key part in the success of ORU. 'cThe RA,s, wing chaplains, and other wing leaders are so im- portant in making life at ORU what it is,v he says. These people are vital Administration 228 to coordinating what he feels is one of the biggest plusses of ORU, as well as the brotherfsister wing system. We are called to leave this uni- versity, and be witnesses for Jesus Christ. M Dean Wallace feels that be- cause ORU trains students to carry out this calling, it is a cut above other schools. In any other uni- versity, you can get the aca- demic training, and maybe even the physical training, but the spiritual training is what ORU has that few other places can offerf' Although he feels that ORU is a cut above most other universities, he admits that it is not perfect. We are young, and we are learning,', he says, and notes a lack of communica- tion as the root of most problems. Students and the Administration need to understand each other, and this comes from looking at both sides when issues arise. This min- istry is one of uplifting, healing, and love, not one of division, and there is always division when you only get one side of the storyf, The people in Student Affairs are aware of this need for communica- tion. To do unto others, as you would have them do to you, is what we try to practicef, he stressed. of Men Bill Techanchuk Bill Techanchuk, the Associat Dean of Students, has served f nine years at Oral Roberts Univers ty in the Student Affairs office. He more than qualified to tell why h thinks that his department is a c above the rest. c'My department is a cut abov because of the students I associat with are, a cut above those at oth universitiesf, Techanchuk, wh graduated from ORU in 197 added, It has been proven to m that spiritually, socially, athletica ly, and academically they are t best. Statistics show thatf, Another reason Techanchuk fee his department is a cut above is b cause of the administration that work for and the faculty - th have a caring attitude. They are cut above with their commitment the ministry, and to see our st dents excel. It is better than a other universityf, X Dean of Women Betty Chesbro She has been on the administra- ,ve staff with years of strong experi- ce, and is now our Dean of Wom- . Her name is Betty Chesbro. Be- re becoming Dean, she was the .ssistant Dean of Women, and has resently been the Dean for two -ears. When asked why Chesbro lgought her department was a cut ove other University Dean,s llfices her response was firm and sitive. Chesbro explained, ccWe Est stand firm on our belief in sus Christ, and second be- use of our commitments, our hics, and our standardsf, She ex- unded on the fact that the depart- ent was not just trying to create a estyle while students are here, ut a lifestyle that will endure a life me based on the teachings ofjesus hrist. Chesbro,s final comment as loving, and caring as she ex- ressed, We,re believing that each dividual, while they are here at RU, will reach their full poten- tialf, Betty Chesbro has reached, and will continue reaching toward her goals as the Dean of Women. With priorities in proper order, as she has already presented, her department will remain a cut above. Dean of Men S W Clarence 'iBo-Bon Boyd Clarence Boyd, Dean of Men at Oral Roberts University, firmly be- lieves that ORU is a cut above the rest. c'From a personal aspect, this place gives a unique opportunity for ministry, and a unique opportunity to be ministered to. 'cTl1iS creates an atmosphere that cannot be equaled, and is unlike any other. We touch lives when we become actively involved with each other, both in giving and receiving. v I found the reali- ty of Christ at ORU because of the atmosphere. This made me realize ORU was a cut above because Iesus is Lord. As far as Student Affairs is con- cerned, we are genuinely con- cerned for each student, and we are also big enough to admit when we make a mistake. We need that kind of balance to continue to operate successfully. U With realizations such as these, ORU will continue to excel, and re- main a cut above.

The biology rofessor at the undergraduate level believes tffat Christ lives in the classroom as well as in the Church. Dr. Korstad constantly strives to implant spiritual values while at the same time teaching practical knowledge. One is no good without the other, the graduate of the Universit of Michigan believes. He makes a point of getting to know a little about each student he teaches so as to best relate the material. However, this is not super- ficial. His love for the students at the University transcends into his unending search for new information which will eventually make the stu- dent, as well as himself, better. A devoted family man, Korstad can often be seen with his wife and children at an area lake or forest, always seeking answers to the many dif- ficult questions he oses. The outstanding faculty member award does not come easily. First, the students nominate the professor that they respect and feel best reflects the purpose of ORU. Then the nomina- tion must be voted on by a group of the profes- soris peers and finally, the administration. The students at the University could not have easily found a better choice for the award in 1982-83 than Iohn Korstad. fi, ..fV.. : kin xi i - HE-, h aw Jh. ,, .

In it she explains that being cut abovev is not merely a composite ofall the obvious good here. It lies in our dreams and the potential they set for us. Parts of this editorial continue throughout this section. HA cut abovef, used in reference to the University as a whole, and its elusive meaning, has undoubtably been a standing perplexity for some time. Weive interpreted the state- ment in all its senses - secular CWe,re better than mostl, Christian QWe,re spiritually better than mostl, but still the reality of just that could legitimately mean has taken the trail of the evasive answer. Perhaps the recent winner of eight Academy Awards can mirror the intents of such a slogan.

In Ghandi, the story is told of a man whose ideas were radically dif- ferent than those of the people around him. His faith was in what some called insanity, He believed in a War Without violence, in a pro- test Where one army would not lift a hand against the other. His dream Worked. As far as anyone knows, it was the first time. Still the world stands in awe. Here at ORU, we begin from the premise that the impossible is possi- ble, that what cannot be done will be done. Our dreams are 'ca cut aboveu those of the everyday World. They brink on the astonishing. They can- not be categorized in the same filing system as those shouldered by most.

Rather t may open opportunities for imitless adventure or an R.A.,s expression of love. Have you ever noticed the hades down, the air conditioner nn, and a lump in your bed that ,nores just like your R.A? Have you ever noticed certain ft.A.,s wearing what you would wear to be your tie on his way to class? However, you fail to men- ion it when, unfortunately, that ie looks better on him than on fou. Have you ever unlocked your oor only to find yourself staring ugs Bunny, or Jed Clampett in e face on a T.V. you know you ad turned off? Have you ever noticed that your aundry deter ent is shrinking in ize, but you ave not done your ash since last semester? It is robably just another coincidence at your R.A.,s clothes seem to hine. Fortunately, each of us wakes om this certain nightmare each a . Again I am certain that it has ot ing to do with the fact that the .A.'s must return their fringe nenefit. However, suddenly these bur- en bearers become much more iendly - at least until next Au- Si. Any resemblence between Bill cKenzie and this feature is pure- coincidental.

The artists displayed their work in the lobby of Christis Chapel during their senior art show. In- stead of doing a senior paper, art majors are required to plan and present an art show, reflecting their works of the past four years. Displays throughout ranged from soft sculpture to commercial art, including pho- tography, pottery, watercolors and oil paintings. Works often remained on display for stu- dents to browse through before Chapel. 1' Lynette Tro er, Goshen, IN Mike Trueblood, Phoenix, AZ Pamela Tuttle, Tulsa, OK Cheryl Van DeWege, Tulsa, OK Benito Vargas, Bronx, NY Bonnie Vasil, Old Bridge, NI Tami Venneer, Sioux Center, IA Lynette Volltening, Wheaton, IL Allen Voth, Argentina jeff Voth, Arvada, CO Cheryl Walker, San Antonio, TX Danell Walker, Issa uah, WA Gary Walsh, Hinsdalle, IL Bob Waltrip' Riverside, CA Kelley Wander, Buffalo, NY jeff Ware, Tampa, FL Steve Wartenbee, Springfield, MO Laurie Wathen, Ft.

It was the mdwich eating contest of the semester. The idea arose etween a brother-sister wing and turned into a big event. alt Br Light Inc. and Oasis were the sister wings, and Iornerstone, the brother wing. The sister wing prepared mdwiches for the six contestants who were willing to brave 1e sticky peanut butter and jelly treats. Trays full of the elicacies lay in front of the six eager participants. The mekeeper stood close by with the instructions to watch the iree minute time limit closely. Absolutely no liquids were llowed until after the contest was over. With a sandwich in and and an eye on the clock, the contest began. Bite after ite was crammed in, as the surrounding audience cheered em on. It was one thing to get the bite in, but another story swallow it. No liquids tended to make the situation a bit 'ry and make swallowing next to impossible. Time was lwindling as the contestants frantically chewed on. With ten LAM ' remaining and no one really way out in the lead, Tim shoved an entire sandwich in his mouth. He wasnit hat to do with it once it was inside, but it won him the with just three sandwiches. The previously prohib- quids must have tasted better than any of the six could have ever imagined.

This is a question often asked by the men of ORU. Every month just before meal tickets are issued, shaggy males can be seen in the girls, dorms recruiting the services ofthe women to cut their hair. There are, of course, certain rules which must be followed. Details are outlined in the Student Hand- book. First, hair cannot touch the collar in the back. Next, at least half the ear must be showing from the side. Another rule deals with sideburns. They should be no longer than the corners ofthe mouth, and should be at least a full razoris length away from the corner ofthe mouth. A final rule concerns mous- taches. They are not to extend below the mouth and must be kept neatly trimmed. Because of these rules, both the girls and guys take advantage of op ortunities offered on campus. The guys call people who do work chea ly and conveniently. And the girls see that time ogmonth as a chance to earn both money and experience cutting hair. V I of f- A E 7 an i iii 'i'ii g .

There are many days when the sun does not shine tl the cracks in the window blinds and you feel like pulli covers up 'ust a little further and staying in bed. These z days best Iit for studying. Itis easier to tackle The Colden of Creecev with a Coke and some popcorn. just when you begin to give up snow for the winter resign yourself to temperate Tulsa climate, you wake morning to find big white flakes have covered the lawn. denly transformed, the campus becomes a playground students for a moment abandon seriousness and stoo ground, regardless of appearel, to gather snow to t friends. ust as the weather provides entertainment, unexpf wil turn brutal.

A kind word, a soft touch, or a tender ug is a special little blessing that causes the burden to ecome a slight bit lighter. One of these generous givers is a certain older gentleman 'ho is employed in our cafeteria. He is known by the stu- ents as Woodyv. Woody always has a cute joke, or just a vinkling smile to share with the students who pass his way. Ie is always busy trying to serve each student his favorite areal in the morning, or a special desert at noon. No matter ow loomy a student may feel, or how preoccupied with the robTems of student life, a flicker of joy and cheer can be parked in his eyes by this outgoing personality. He can lake problems seem small, even far away. All of a sudden, fe does not seem so bad. His warmth and compassion, even iough it is only for a few seconds, can change a bad day into ne of optimism and high s irits. just to know someone still :ce ts oneself, even though one just pulled an all-nighter or tiles to get a date to the upcoming banquet, revives the Jirit of love and hope within. S This man offers us an example as to how a simple, loving esture can say and do so much.

So, the big time clock that was put in by the outside track this year encouraged those dedicated runners to use it to their advantage. The clock runs continuously for those running at any time ofday. It is also ver practical for those running field tests. It is an accurate way to keep track ofthe time without the bother of constantly check ing a watch. The clock seems to have been a worthwhile investment which is appreciated by many. The Tulsa weather tends to be pretty unpredictable at times, and when high winds and rains prevail, there is always the indoor track. But as long as the weather stays nice, runners can use the new clock. ,ssxfzfx Debbie Darrieg Selden, NY Leah'Denise Davisg junction, TX Lana Dawkinsg Moberly, MO Angela Deang Nassau, Bahamas Mark DeKlerkg South Africa Leigh Ann Denisong Homewood, AL Greg Denneyg Irving, TX Nick DeSilviog Bridgeton Pike, NI Stephen Deutschg Grand Ledge, MI Jenny Dewittg S rin , TX David Diehlg Begllevile, IL Beth Dillmeierg Warren, NI Mike Dinterg Tulsa, OK Annette Dixon, Willingboro, NI Elaine Dixong Willingboro, Nj Daniel Dominguezg Tulsa, OK Ava Dorng Indianapolis, IN Bernadette Dorseyg Portland, OR Ben Doughertyg Norwalk, IA Brad Douglassg Concordia, KS jim Drewg Phoenix, AZ Matthew Duellg Holyoke, CO Amanda Dukeg Tulsa, OK Cynthia Dunafong Portland, OR Lauren Dundong Mobile, AL Cathy Dunfordg Avon, CT Pam Duntong Wheaton, MD Michael Eavesg Tuskegee, AL Tammy Ebert, Victoria, TX Patti Edmonds, Boise, ID Grace Edoborg Benel State, Nigeria Versheen Edwardsg jackson, MS Della Ellis, Henderson, KS Lynda Elmoreg El Cajon, CA Sureya Ennabeg Laconia, NH Chuck Falcig Sussex, Nj Shawn Fewell, Lake Charles, LA Richard Fiferg Memphis, TN Kimberly Flemingg Venita, OK Decky Flournoyg Columbus, GA jackie Flynng Chatanooga, TN Colleen Fosterg Quinton, VA Mary Foyg Holt, MI Kim Frahmg Melbourne, FL David Freedmang Fort Rerce, FL Doug Freeman, Cleveland, GA Laurie F reemang Gaylord, MI Ann Frenchg Mullen, NB Krista Fuhrg Redwood Falls, MN Brian Fuller, Roseburg, OR Debbie Funckg Morrison, C0 Debbie Furniag Bellevue, WA Bill Galinskyg Menomonee Falls, WI Margaret Galla herg Dover, DE 1.

Increased aca- demic knowledge came from the many J hours of classes we sat through, the multitude of DAIRS viewed, the countless number of term papers re- searched, written and revised. Be- g cause of our desire to stay in shape, we put our bodies through vigorous workouts involving rhythmic aerobics, lifting weights, jogging and some- times including walking up and down seven flights of stairs when the elevator didn,t work. The most important area of maturing was that in our spiritual life. After two chapel services each week, wing devos, communion, vespers and our own personal time spent with God, we grew to become more Christ-like.

We moved closer to becoming Whole men and Women . . . in body, mind and spirit. Because of that, We are KA CUT ABQVEH A Vision Realized by Paul T. Prew Few will realize the magnitude of this project, fewer still will bother to read this small group of words. Yet, in my estimation, this is the heart of any book. No longer will I, having been through the sleepless nights and consistent frustration, overlook an author,s comments on his work. To be sure, I am far from being an author and am most closely associated with an administrator. However, I have made a few perceptions during the course of the year which I shall share with you, the reader. If one were to have held a straw poll in September, or even December for that matter, to indicate the likelihood of a 1983 edition of the Perihelion, the results would tip decisively in favor of a negative response. In reflection, I believe I was even leaning that way. However, we live on America,s i'Miracle Campusv and no longer will I malign that belief. Cod is faithful, and it is chiefly through the power of jesus Christ that I believe we have put together the book in four short months - a calculated impossibility. Brought in my direction were some of the highest quality people imaginable, without whom this book would never have gotten its first idea. Most notable among these was my associate editor, Lori Gooch, who was truly the mastermind and the only experienced yearbooker on the staff In addition I had tremendous burdens borne for me by my staff, most importantly, Denise Aloisio, Theresa Ohler, Paul Reece, Amy Studebaker and Camille Lohse. A special thanks must go to Don Wilson, who along with Paul Reece and Iris Culp, developed and printed all the pictures, often late into the night, in order for us to make a deadline. Further, the construction of the book was piecefed to me by a patient and diligent friend, Mrs. Claudia Bennett. In all, the title of the yearbook, A cut above,', was well suited to the staff. My hat comes off to you and my love and appreciation goes with you all. In summation, what we have produced is truly nothing short of a miracle of Cod. As the personal expense and mental turmoil of 1983 fades, we will have a quality collaboration of memories to remember ORU and how it was a cut abovev all the rest.
