Vol.4B III. Narva ' s Vision Of Park College Before us, see a charming villa, That nestles at our very feet; It is religion ' s holy temple. And education ' s noble seat. Above the college hangs a banner. With Holiness to God inscribed; For virtue, truth, and pure religion By eager youths are here imbibed. An atmosphere of classic learning Pervades these academic walls; The Graces dance in fairy circles. And muses sing through attic halls. Here Science builds her brilliant temple; Devotion bows at lowly shrines; Religion lifts the open Bible, And truth is delved from Wisdom ' s mines. TIf U 1 mm □n bur Mark Dreams are much like shadows; They fade when there is no light to make them real... I Being a frosh at Park College is a unique experience. The race begins with Hell Week. Where else would you receive a welcome like that? They really roll out the red carpet, what with the goons and the Commons (a-hem) gourmet cuisine. Not to mention the plush, shall we say intimate accommodations provided by the Hawley Hilton (if you are female) and the elegant regal atmosphere of Herr House (if you ' re male). And then of course there ' s the little detail of academics. The teachers are great but the homework you can do without. It ' s much more fun to sit on the Herr House wall and B.S. with your friends, or to hang out in the pub, or bowl a few games at the Brig, or go up to the Point and drink Kool- aid. But, we ' re here to win a marothon and realizing this is all a part of being a fresh¬ man.

Good music, food, company ... all on an authentic riverboat chugging down the Mighty Mo. No, it isn ' t what college is really like, but, the second annual riverboat dance was a great way to give ev¬ eryone a taste of what Park ' s stu¬ dent activities are all about. Returning students were able to ' swap ' tales of the summer and get acquainted with new students, while dancing to the music of Smi¬ ley Connection and eating a picnic style dinner provided by Food Ser¬ vice. David Graves Rhonda Graves and Sandy Magee ■I � - • ' ' The Student Union Board sponsored a campout on September 17th and 18th at the Presbyterian campgrounds about eight miles from campus. While the number of people attending was small, their spirit of togetherness was strong. The campout commenced on a high note with the campers gathering around the fire over roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. After breakfast on Sunday, campers listened to a sermon by Dr. Bob Bailey.

The Goon Squad welcomed in the Frosh in the traditional manner. All events went smoothly and Hell Week ' 77 ended in a spirit of unity between the frosh and the upperclassmen. ! i --- 1 % K ' i t Harvest Fest began Friday with a powderpuff football game ... Hawley-New Dorm vs IFT. After the game a banquet was held in the Upper Commons where the Harvest Fest Court was introduced and JoAnn Mitchell along with her teammates received a trophy for their victory over IFT of two-zip. On Saturday, last minute preparations were made for the Harvest Fest Ball at the KCI Mar¬ riott. Entertainment was provided by the Cir¬ culation Band and impressionist-Bill Mellburg. This was a night to remember by all as Paula Davis and Tony Nunn were announced runner up and Arlene Spain and John Burton were an- nounced queen and king of 1977 Harvest Fest.

Before they entered the Chapel on Tuesday, Nov. 8, all the people that attended the Kreskin lecture knew that he was billed as one of the world ' s foremost ESP experts. But they wouldn ' t believe what they saw unless they ' d seen it. It ' s true that Kreskin somehow hooked together three rings belonging to audience members, then unhooked them without leaving a mark on any of them. It ' s also true that he found his check, strategically hidden under Merrill Proudfoot ' s rear end. . ijj But most amazing is that Kreskin, although he said J that there ' s no such thing as a hypnotic trance, had 1 thirty people up on stage shivering in sub-zero cold one minute and sweating in Sahara Desert hot the J next. He called it auto-suggestion , he had ten of 3 them simultaneously experience a sharp unpleasant I sensation on their behinds as if they had been J pinched. (A couple of them almost punched the J people behind them). Probably the highlight of the 1 evening was when Kreskin told jay Havener that he ] wouldn ' t be able to remember his own name. And a for the life of him jay couldn ' t. Amazing, J THE AMAZING KRESKIN so JEAN-MICHEAL COSTEAU A church is a Cathedral for the Spirit. But jean- Micheal Costeau told of a different Cathedral: the ocean His interests and talent vary, but they all focus on one thing — the ocean. Jean-Micheal is the eldest son of the world reowned oceanogra¬ pher, jacques-Yves Costeau. He is an architect, film maker, educator, and oceanographer. According to Costeau, if we continue to pollute and over-fish, the oceans will soon end up a Biologic desert. We are acting like hunters, he said. We haven ' t yet started farming like on land. Luckily man has not totally destroyed the beauty and grandeur of the ocean. Covering virtually three- fourths of the earth ' s surface the ocean provides a vista which rivals outer space in both interest and unexplored territories. But for Costeau, sharks are his primary favorite subject of study. When I ' m in the water I ' m in their back yard ... I owe them some respect. He added that as you begin to understand the sharks behavior your fear is reduced and you learn to respect them. The atmosphere was relaxed, and those who came were lucky enough to have a peek at the inside of a magnificent Cathedral. 51 At iirst fou thoulsht it was a play about King Henry . iV o j€rmafiy. Then you found ouHt wlis a play ibov y who ' s crazy and thinks he ' s Henry IV. U you discover it ' s a play about a guy s- who erybpdy thinks is crazy because he thinks he ' s Henry IV actually he ' s quite sane and he ' s -pulling the wool over evefybtkiy ' s eyes. Sound confusing? It was, but the Actor ' s Prologue Com¬ pany ' s production of Enrico IV by Luigi Pirandello was ib well done that it didn ' t matter.

On Thursday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m., Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee presented An Evening in Black America, at Park Col¬ lege in the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel. The program included dramatic readings, anecdotes and short scenarios by black authors. The husband and wife team currently host The Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee Story Hour, a one-hour show heard throughout the country on 60 National Black Network radio stations. In addi¬ tion; Ms Dee has appeared in To Be Young, Gifted and Black, Buck and the Preacher, and Sesame Street. Mr. Davis ' credits include the writing of Purlie Victorious, and the direction of Cotton Comes to Harlem. The couple was exceedingly vibrant and extremely personable. It was a high¬ ly entertaining evening to be remem¬ bered. RUBY DEE AND OSSIE DAVIS Prepa ra t; i on for success becomes a conti nuou s P n o e s c s Uppercl assmen, finally! Sophomores can sit around and watch those ignorant frosh make idiots out of themselves and forget that, only last year, they were just like them. And if they haven ' t enough smarts (yet) to move off campus, they can move into one of the spacious, elegant rooms in the luxurious New Dorm, af¬ fectionately referred to by its ' residents as The Holiday Inn. Sophomores i ! ' A rV:! Sophomores are now familiar enough with the academic scene that they can declare a definite major. And if they were one of those freshmen who started their college careers off by being on the Dean ' s list both semes¬ ters, they know better by now.

The competition included both men and women. In Park ' s first year as a member of the Ozark Collegiate Conference in basketball, and Terry Dennis ' s first year as coach, the Pirates won the Conference with a 9-1 record and finished 18-10 overall. The intramural programs also flourished as participation reached an all-time high. The theory of, sound mind- sound body, is being pushed at Park as we reach for new levels of academic and athletic excellence.

Guess who won - you got it- the students 26-6. Though small in number they were large in power; they didn ' t even have cheerleaders to cheer them on like the faculty had.

Come May (or De¬ cember or even August) there ' ll be no more papers, exams, all-nighters studying, or those Godforsaken three hour night classes. But that also means no more post¬ exam parties at the point, sitting around in the Pub acting goofy with your friends, or stopping by Bar Phoenix for a well deserved beer after surviving your three hour night class. No more basketball games, no more club meetings, no more traying, no more checking your mailbox. Next year you ' ll be nine-to-fiving it. Senior year is a time to get sentimental.
