In fair Parkville where we lay our scene. From peaceful country and bustling city. Where educated minds will come From minds of dreams. Those who have taught us Have taught us well And it is the story of this learning We will strive to tell. It is a campus of ancient mortar and stone We know so well and now call home. Our play begins on an autumn day And will end with graduation in May. Dear readers you will now embark On a journey through this year at Park. Steve Kyte J and now . . .

We work together, study together and party together. Throughout the year we had group study sessions before a test, all-night talk sessions in the dorm, and let ' s get crazy sessions when we couldn ' t take the hum-drum of school anymore. But, as in any family, there were times when each member had to find time to be alone. It was a part of life at Park, getting it together and making it alone. _y - and make it alone 7 i V_ 8 1 here was so much to see: the Plaza, Parkville ' s antique stores, soccer games, basketball games, the view from the Point, the Royals, and the Comets. But for everything to see, there was something to do: homework, eight o ' clock classes. Harvest Fest, term papers, homework, intermurals, Wednesday night classes, homework, Hauptmann tests and more homework. and so much to do A, utumn. Act One. The stage is set and the actors take their places for another production at Park College. The faculty, acting as director, and the administrators, acting as producer, give the signal. The curtain rises. The scene is a small campus on a hill overlooking the Missouri. The players fight their way through registration lines which eat summer earnings faster than you can say financial aid. They have the necessary props—books, posters to decorate rooms and enough clothes to keep them from doing laundry for a month. The upperclassmen know their parts well and the freshmen will take their cues from them. Dorm room assign¬ ments and apartment leases assure accomadations for the season. Conversations are heard in various build¬ ings across the campus. In MacKay: We need a list of the students in ... In the Pub: Tm taking eighteen hours. Are you taking . . . ? In Copley and Science Hall: Here are your course outlines. Just be¬ cause you ' re allowed three absences ... And in the dorm: Is there ever any hot water? You ' d think for as much as I ' m paying ... And the play progresses. The plot thick¬ ens and the players become individual characters. There are wild Friday nights and dreary Monday mornings. There is so much to see and so much to do. There are times to be together and times to be alone. And the play has just begun. Frosh and campus become acquainted P irate Week, the orientation period for incoming freshmen, “overwhelmed the campus newcomers. Senior Sheila Williams, chairperson, said. “The attitude and spirit of the new students was great, Williams said, “and they were so willing to participate in all the activities such as tug-o-war. Brig dance, Mr. Legs contest and the jump in the pool. New on the list of activities was a trip to Worlds of Fun which Williams said had an excellent turnout. Assisting Williams with the activities were Pirates Mike Kelley, Kathy Ragan, Cheryl Fischer, Quentin Jones, Ray Bayne, Kathy Phillips, Jenyfer Phillips, Kim Rich¬ ardson, Nancy Griggs, Lori MacAtee, Ted Bryant, John Paeth, and Darrell Scott.

Maybe that ' s what attracts so many people to this un¬ usual metropolitain area. Park College is only ten min¬ utes away from such Kansas City landmarks as the Radisson Meuhlbach, City Center Square, the Folly Theater, and an array of interesting buildings and spe¬ cialty shops. Twenty minutes away are such notable sites as Crown Center, Westport, the Plaza, Ward Parkway and the Hyatt Regency. No wonder students are pleased to say they attend a small private college outside Kansas City. After all, it ' s one of the few livable cities left. 15 Fc There was a hot time in the Olde Town that day Main Street Parkville hung in the Smithsonian and the White House during the Nixon Adminis¬ tration. or the small community of Park¬ ville to attract a crowd estimated at well over 25 thousand people, it takes something pretty special. And something pretty special was certainly going on the weekend of J September 19 and 20. This marked the 5th annual Park¬ ville Days Celebration. The event commemerates artist Gale Stockwell, whose painting of Local artists and craftsmen dis¬ played their goods for curious on¬ lookers. Food booths lined Main Street from end to end. And then there were contests—Little Miss Parkville, Mr. Muscle and the Ugliest Dog attracted the most at¬ tention. The Winnetonka marching band and the Shriners were among the participants in the Parkville Days ' parade which wound through town. (1) Eating a man-size turkey leg is no problem for Norman Robbins.

And it ' s these diversities which make Parkville a unique community. Part of the tiny hamlet ' s character lies in its peo¬ ple. For some, Parkville is the only home they ' ve ever known. Families such as the Pearls, Downings and Francis ' s have helped mold the tiny city. But numerous Park College graduates particularly from the East have chosen Parkville to be their new home. Among those who came and stayed are Larry Young, Tom Lucus and Linda Payne Boyce, active in city affairs. paIjkville Founded by George S.

It s a nice quiet town, Senior Valerie Davis from St. Louis said. I like it because I don ' t ever hear about much crime. Once students adjusted to the Parkville life-style, some habits start to develop. Stops at McKeon ' s for lunch or a late night snack were not uncom¬ mon. Neither were monthly trips to Googie ' s. Or what about waiting to hear the noon whistle on the Burlington Northern when it rolled through town. All these elements make Parkville a place resi¬ dents and students are proud to call my town.

The only people who found out who the killer really was are those who attended Park ' s first fall production of Agatha Christie ' s murder mystery Mousetrap. Directing the production was senior Ernest Willians. This was his first attempt at directiong a full-length show and one he said he was very pleased with. The cast of Mousetrap in¬ cluded Laura McNeil as Mil¬ lie; Paul Eichholz as her hus¬ band Giles; Beth Bushnell as Casewell, Laura Linzay as Mrs. Boyle; Doug Stevenson as Parvavinci; John Paeth as Wren; and Nelson Williams as Detective Sergeant Trotter.

One of the highlights of the event was the first college bed race. Students decorated beds which they raced around campus. The team clocking the shortest time without break¬ ing an egg the rider held, won. Other activities during the festival included a hayride, a parade and a hall-decorating contest. The dance at the Marriott Hotel and the crowning of Seniors Ron Pearl and Jackie Hall as Harvest Fest King and Queen ended the activities.

Park won two tournaments, finished third in another tournament, beat rival Missouri Southern and earned a third-place seed in the District 16 play-offs. Park ' s defense was ranked second in the nation in giving up goals. The team allowed only .64 goals per game. Senior Goalkeeper Tim Rohrbaugh was among the top ten keepers in the nation. Rohrbaugh was named to the Dis¬ trict 16 first team while teammates Mark New¬ ton, Kris Luther and Mike Boone were placed on the all-district second team.

Part of the reason for their success was credited to the guidance of new head coach Dr. Larry Hurshman. Before coming to Park, Hurshman was instrumental in getting wom¬ en ' s volleyball organized and de¬ veloped in Kansas City. Hurshman has coached volleyball clinics at Graceland College for Junior Olympic teams and Blue Valley Athletics. His goals for last year ' s season were to make the women a more competitive squad and make a name for women ' s volleyball at Park College. These goals became a reality. The women finished the year with a 11-7 record and placed second in the Ozark Conference. Team players senior Johnna How¬ ard, freshman Cheryl Day and sophomore Karma Swoffer were named to the Ozark All-Confer¬ ence team. Recruiting for next year ' s season has been strong and Hurshman hopes to soon have one of the top teams in the Conference.

I ' 4‘ I ' «f f J � w4 ' ' li - litmm ♦ ' i Students probe economy ' s woes I nflation, depression, recession—these words echoed on practically every newscast. But how many people really understood what each of these terms meant and how they affected our pocketbooks? Under the guidance of new Economics Professor Zoila Clara Brennen econom¬ ics students advanced from Economics I where they studied contemporary prob¬ lems of the economy to Managerial Eco¬ nomics, which applied to business. Advanced students in Senior Seminar studied, in detail, the important issues, problems, and concerns about econom¬ ics. (1) One of the nation ' s economic information guides is the Wall Street Journal. (2) Dr. Brennan, Professor of Economics, chats with an office worker. Students achieve goals by keeping to business usiness. It ' s a giant industry affecting the lives of each individual in the country. And the study of business at Park College has more majors than any other area. Business Professor David Gunderson said. In the fall of 1981 the department developed and re¬ stored the major giving students the chance to special¬ ize in specific areas—economics, marketing, finance and management. Gunderson said he received favorable comments about the change from his 140 majors. Kll Introduction to (1) Dr. Sanderson and Ed review a report.

Pamela Townsend, Associate Professor of Accounting These majors always add up While most of us worry about balancing our checkbooks. Park ' s accounting students worry about balancing a corporation ' s ledger sheets. And under the instruction of Pro¬ fessor Pam Townsend, students perfected their accounting skills. Students assisted the public through their free income tax assis¬ tance program for low income fam¬ ilies and the elderly. Organized by the Alpha Delta Al¬ pha Accounting Society, the Volun¬ teer Income Tax Assistance pro¬ gram (VITA), in conjunction with the Southern Platte County Jaycees, offered free tax preparation and advice to indiviuals. The society assisted over 600 peo¬ ple with their tax forms, Todd Green, the chapter ' s director of tax¬ payer services said. All advisement and preparation was supervised by a professional. The Accounting department added a new course to the major. Ad¬ vanced Accounting, giving students further exposure to accounting pro¬ cedures. (l) Tools of the trade.

' I don ' t want to teach students just the technical side )f Criminal Justice, she said. I want them, when they graduate, to be able to also know why something, a rertain law for example, is the way it is. dcClellan said her graduates either go into manage¬ ment positions or to graduate school. But before students graduate with a Criminal Justice degree, they must serve an internship. One major, Chris Kear, served an internship last summer with the Fish and Game Departmen t. (1) Assistant Professor Janet McClellan listens as Penny Davis discusses a case. (2) Valerie Rappold talks with a teen-ager at Synergy House, where Valerie fulfilled her internship requirements. Education majors take responsibility T, he responsibility of educating young people is not something which is taken lightly by Park ' s education department. To emphasize this importance, education majors not only spend many hours studying different theories and ideas concerning education, they also serve as student teachers or assistants in area grade schools and high schools. During 1981-82 the department had nine majors stu¬ dent teaching. Education Professor Dale Lauritzen said. One student. Senior Laura Linzay, student taught speech and theater at Park Hill Senior High. Other stu¬ dents taught or assisted teachers at Graden Elementary, Renner Elementary and and the Clay Platte Children ' s House.

(3) Dr. Lauritzen, assistant professor, relaxes in his office in MacKay. (V Courses focus on behavoir nowledge and understanding of both human behavior and societies ' behavior are an intergral part of the Human Service program at Park. Students in the program took classes relating to psychology, sociology and human services practice. These courses were de¬ signed to prepare students for work in such fields as counsel¬ ling, assisting the elderly and working with the juvenile courts. Human services majors are required to serve an intership and many students took their ' s at Synergy House, a runaway home on Park ' s campus. Professor Mack Winholz headed the program.

How do they affect my life? Answering questions like these is not an easy task. But for Political Science students at Park, questions and is¬ sues affecting daily lives were topics of class discus¬ sions. Political Science students, under the instruction of Dr. Jerzy Hauptmann, debated not only issues of the Unit¬ ed States but issues of the world. You ' d be surprised at the number of people who are totally unaware of what is going in Africa of New Del¬ hi, Hauptmann said. It ' s too bad because we can learn a great deal from their problems. Outside the classroom, Hauptmann students assisted with the 25th Model U.N. General Assembly on the Park College campus and the publication of the Ameri¬ can Review of Public Administration. The General Assembly attracted more than 100 high school students to the campus. Hauptmann said the de¬ partment will contact participating students in an effort to recruit them to Park. Hauptmann said Park is the only small Liberal Arts college he knows of that publishes a professional jour¬ nal like the Review. To me that is a very special fact, Hauptmann said. He added the only problem his students faced through¬ out the year was trying to find him. Maybe that ' s why they call me the gypsy professor, he said. I ' m always on the run.

But in the 30 years Hauptmann has been at Park, his department has grown to acclaim national recognition. Hauptmann has gained national recognition as a lectureer and spends much of his time travel¬ ling across the county speaking on issues related to political sci¬ ence and public administration. One of Hauptmann ' s former stu¬ dents, Hick Beniamin, who stud- Dr. Theodore Albrecht Department features recitals and lectures P ark ' s music department, chaired by Robert Ander¬ son, was active during the 1981-82 school year with re¬ citals, lectures and the Northland Symphony. Recitals during the year were presented by soprano Bernadette Fiorella, bass trombonist William Ashburn and organists Dennis Burgin and John Ditto. Musicolo¬ gist Dika Newland presented the Wolfe Lecture on her studies of Arnold Schoenberg. Virgil Thomson, compos¬ er and critic, spoke during an informal convocation in April. Dr. Theodore Albrecht, Park faculty, conducted the Northland Symphony. Music students Karen Hawkins, Rick Bledsoe and John Derosier were members of the orchestra.

Last fall, Lueders hard work turned to reality when Dr. Harold Condit and Dean of Student Academics Barbara Higdon approved the major. It ' s our belief that we ' ll get a much greater enroll¬ ment now that we have the major, Lueders said. The Art Department also formed an Artist ' s Guild which will attempt to recruit students, visit art muse¬ ums and paint murals on campus, Sophomore Kathy Ragan, a guild member, said. I I Writers gain diverse skills P ark ' s Journalism Department, encompassing all phases of publi¬ cations, focused its attention last year on all facets of news, not just one specific area, Paula Schumacher, Journalism Coordi¬ nator said. Our program offers students the chance to work on a one-to-one ba¬ sis with professionals, see how a paper is put together from start to finish, provides interships and serves as a training ground for work on a community weekly pa¬ per, Schumacher said. This one-on-one community newspaper training is something you won ' t find at either Kansas University, Lawrence, or the Uni¬ versity of Missouri at Columbia, she added. Schumacher said she has been con¬ tacted by area publishers and edi¬ tors, wanting her to contact them when Park students are ready to be interviewed for interships or jobs.

Despite the resignation of his co-editor, senior Daphne Bryan in November, Blount and his staff managed to put out a student newspaper each week. Probably the most difficult part of edi¬ torship was learning how to organize everything and utilize the staff I had, the sophomore said. Blount thought he messed up by try¬ ing to show some sides of Park College that people didn ' t want to see. His story concerning drug and alcohol use (which could not be printed on the college ' s typesetter) emphasized his point. On the positive side, Blount said he heard good remarks about the funny stories, which had a point, like my Trustesians editorial. Assisting Blount with production and editorial phases of the paper were Ju¬ niors Judy Jones, David Bird, Robin Roberson and Freshman Theresa Har¬ mon. English Professor, Dr. David Quemada, was the faculty adviser. (1) Production Editor Judy Jones and Editor Rick Blount discuss the layout of an upcoming Stylus. (2) Editorial Staff D.

I think we need more graphics on the Harvest Fest pages, Kathy Ragan, graphics editor, add¬ ed. You girls have a deadline in one week. I sure hope you can make it, Adviser Paula Schumacher reminded them. Somehow these four students, under the guid¬ ance of yearbook adviser, Paula Schumacher, or¬ ganized and produced the 1982 Narva, A Play in Three Acts. They would be the first to admit it wasn ' t all fun and games but well worth the effort. What came of this effort was a book filled with the memories of a year at Park Col¬ lege and a group of strangers who ended up as friends. 47 Eminence is in ' hands-on w ith its close affiliation to Park ' s journalism program, the col¬ lege-owned Platte County Gazette provides a unique learning envi¬ ronment for students. Those majoring in journalism worked under the close supervi¬ sion of Gazette editor and Journal¬ ism Coordinator Paula Schumacher, as she trained writers, reporters, and photographers. Mark Whitehurst, Gazette Business Manager, worked closely with art and business majors utilizing their skills in ad sales, layout and de¬ sign, accounting procedures and other aspects of the business side of the newspape r industry.

Professor Kent Murray, Communications Department Chairman Program grows to include Law, Interpersonal classes The Communication Arts de¬ partment expanded its program in the 1981-82 year. Video Production Assistant Nan¬ cy Welborn was hired in the fall. Welborn, however, decided later in the year to pursue other goals. Ray Cummiskey, a Park graduate took over Welborn ' s position in the spring. Chairman of the Department, Kent Murray, said the video as¬ sistant ' s responsibilities included teaching two courses, supervi¬ sion of all video productions and assisting with cable pro¬ graming. Murray said the department was involved with writing grant pro¬ posals, adopting a Marketing mi¬ nor, developing students poten¬ tial as talent, and creating three new courses; Communica¬ tion Law and Interpersonal I and II. Murray wants to eventually cre¬ ate a total Communication Arts Department. inn nmmmsai Cuiet CnThe §et Z_ ocal origination—it was the emphasis of the television classes in the Communication Arts department. An average of four shows was produced week¬ ly by eight students in the upper level courses. The shows covered issues in the com¬ munity, consumer tips, cooking and profiles on interesting people. Junior David Lloyd produced Spotlight, a focus on unusual people, services and issues. Freehand, produced by Sophomore Jeff Samborski concerned area artists. Johnna How¬ ard, senior, and Lisa Wade, junior, collaborated on a series highlighting area schools and ath¬ letes. Park graduate Ray Cummiskey replaced Nancy Welborn as Video Production Specialist at mid-term. He plans to add Broadcast Script Writing to the Comm. Arts curriculum. JT or nearly two years Park ' s radio station, KGSP 90.3 FM, has been waiting to hear from the Federal Com¬ munications Commission (FCC) concerning boosting its power from 10 to 110 watts. The station had to apply for the power increase be¬ cause of a new FCC ruling which will gradually phase out all existing 10-watt stations. Park was given the choice of either sharing its frequency with other sta¬ tions or applying for an increase in power. The station chose to apply for the increase, but by April had heard no word from the FCC. Despite the concern about the station ' s future, oper¬ ations at KGSP continued as normal. Under the direction of Communication Arts Chairman Kent Murray students were placed in charge of the an¬ nouncing, producing and trafficking for the station. Advanced students were assigned air times for the station, produced shows such as Christian Lifestyle and assisted in the broadcast of Parkville City Council meetings.

M MMi ' - Theatre department boasts creativity in its students 1 he art of putting yourself in the role of another person and con¬ vincing your audience you are in¬ deed that person is the ultimate challenge of any actor or actress. And students involved in Park ' s Theatre Department had the chance to develop and perfect this skill. The department produced four shows in the 1981-82 season, two of which were directed by stu¬ dents. Mousetrap and Butterflies are Free were directed by students Ernest Williams and Laura Linzay, respectively. The Park production of Pippin , directed by Assistant Professor James Cox, was a USO and ACTF entry. U.S.A. , present¬ ed in the spring, was directed by Artist-In-Residence, Richard Alan Nichols. Department Chairman Cox said changes were made in the theatre department. Six hours were dropped from the major require¬ ment, a push was made to consider the movement class for Physical Education credit, and a new course. Touring, was added. 52 (1) Hauntingly life-like, the plaster masks used for the pro¬ duction of Pippin lie on a table in the theatre storeroom.

Learning there are umpteen reasons why your horse is lame. And students thought the life of an Equine major was easy. The equestrian program at Park in¬ volved a lot more than riding horses or shoveling horse manure. Under the direction of Jane Caldwell stu¬ dents spent hours perfecting their form and their ability to guide horses. Jumping, cross-country riding, dressage and showing came later. spectators at the American Royal Horse Show in November. A fun horse show was held in April at the Riding Center and an N.R.C. (Nation¬ al Riding Council) sponsored clinic was conducted April 30-May 2. Cleaning tack, falling off and muster¬ ing enough courage to get back on the horse, struggling to learn parts of the equine anatomy—the life of the equine major was not an easy one. But the satisfaction gained by guiding a ton of horseflesh over a four-foot fence or through a series of difficult dressage moves was well worth the effort.

But despite these long lab hours, few students complained because of the good rapport in the depart¬ ment. Upperclassmen often supervised introduction lab courses. This gave beginning students the chance to contact various sources to answer questions. Department Chairman Dr. A1 Dusing was on partial sabbatical studying computer programming. f: Liberal study gives students strong base P robably the most well-rounded students at Park are those enrolled in the Liberal studies program. Not only do the students take classes in areas from Art to English but they learn under the instruc¬ tion of such versatile professors as David Quemada, Merrill Proudfoot, Ron Miriani and Robert Bailey. The Liberal Studies major is in¬ tended to broaden student ' s cultur¬ al perspective and prepare him for whatever vocation he chooses. C2) Professor David Quemada advises the Stylus staff.

Larger crowds were on hand for Wednesday night devotions than in past years, and the Park College Christian Fel¬ lowship extended its membership. About 40 people attended Wednes¬ day night devotions, which were led by Dormitory Chaplins Bethany Andrews (Hawley Dorm), Brad Reed (New Dorm), Tom Tibbits (New Dorm) and Sheila Elders (Herr House). Christian Fellowship sponsored ac¬ tivities such as Friday-Out- Nights and “Come and Share pro¬ grams focusing on Christian talent. Although the college became offi¬ cially affiliated with the Reorga¬ nized Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints in April, reli¬ gious activities were open to stu¬ dents of all denominations.

But this right was questioned by stu¬ dents last year when Stylus editor Rick Blount wrote a story dealing with drug and alcohol use on campus. President Harold Condit told Blount he could not use the college ' s type¬ setter to print the story. In a later editorial, Blount said he thought he was censored but agreed with administrators that outsiders could magnify issues read into the story. The article was never printed.

A problem facing off-campus stu¬ dents has been parking. When choosing a suitable place to put your car, consideration must be I given to how far it is from the building your classes are in, how many hills or stairs you will have to trek up, and will a foot deep pothole swallow your car before ,1 you can make it to that eight o ' clock class? Maybe the Board of Trustees should consider changing the name of our fair school to No- Park College. The upper parking lot shows signs of wear and tear during the unusually cold weather. Most mornings, the lot is filled. 63 7 t Two. Winter. The stage is muted under heavy snows. Blasts of cold air wind through campus leaving the players huddled beneath goose-down jackets and thick wool sweaters. New records are set in dorm shower taking time due to inadequate heat. Classes are held on days old-tim¬ ers would deem unfit for man or beast. But we survive. Christmas lists to parents are re¬ vised. A new stereo is deleted ... an electric blanket added. The bookstore stocks up on Klee¬ nex and Contac. As for the plot of our play, the setting is more fa¬ miliar, the scenery constantly changing and the characters, more complex. Some players exit at the end of the first semester but are replaced with un¬ derstudies. The students are less concerned with meeting new people and having fun. Their attention turns to more relevant things. Money, grades and sleeping late top the list. Still questions remain unan¬ swered. What do I do on Friday night? How will I finish that ten-page paper by Monday? What will I do after graduation? The audience sits back and smiles. They can see the players change. The students struggle through mid-terms, homework and papers, seeing it all as a never-ending process. The audience sees them growing wiser and more mature. But for now, harbored in antiquated classrooms and bustling dormitories, the players go about the business of becoming educated. It is winter. The campus majestically watches over the frozen river and the play goes on. T«««A P. ark ' s men ' s basketball team finished its 1981-82 season with a 5-22 overall record and a 3-9 record in the Ozark Conference. The season began with modest expectations for the club. And any hopes for improvement faded when 6 ' 6 center Brian Goster was de¬ clared ineligible. We realized at the beginning of the year we were facing one of our most challenging schedules, Head Coach Hal Shavers said. We had several freshmen on our squad and the majority of our opponents ' teams consisted of upperclassmen. Despite their record, team members said there were some positive aspects to the season. The season was beneficial for the younger players as a learning experience, team captain sophomore Keith Gray said. As a team, the Pirates averaged 70.9 points per game and allowed 78. Their field goal percent¬ age was 48.9 percent with 69.9 percent from the free throw line. Gray led the team in both scoring and rebounding. He averaged 16 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game. Senior Roger Wil¬ liams finished second in those categories with an average of 13.8 points per game and 7.5 rebounds. The 12-man varisty roster will lose three seniors from the squad, Shane Farr, Roger Williams and Dana Parker. (1) Sophomore Keith Gray shoots the ball over Baptist Bible de¬ fense.

Pirates cheerleaders give athletes support They supported the soccer and basketball teams, lead¬ ing the crowd in cheers when points were scored, en¬ couraging players when opponents took the lead. The Park Cheerleaders squad grew in 1981-82 from last year ' s eight members to boast ten girls on the team. The fall semester squad was captained by senior Nancy Griggs and co-captained by junior Heather Watson. Members were Theresa Harmon, Laurie MacAtee, Laura Linzay, Chris Erwin and Emily Braniff. The spring semester gfoup included captain Heather Watson, senior Laurie MacAtee, co-captain and mem¬ bers Lolo George, Susan Hammond and Bonita George. New uniforms were made for the cheerleaders by ju¬ nior Keri Alexander. The girls supported the men ' s Basketball team with secret cheerleader surprises , candy, cards, and home-made treats, which were put in the players ' boxes before each game.

You are in a place where only a handful of peo¬ ple speak your native language. The inhabitants have customs which are unlike your own. In this place, the women dress differently, the cost of living is much higher than at your home. The religion of the country differs greatly from yours. Where is this strange place? What is this far away country? The place is Park College and for many students it ' s located in a foreign country. Students from Saudi Arabia, Micronesia, Polynesia and Africa attended Park. They came to exper¬ ience life in the United States and obtain an American education. In exchange, th e other students at Park were treat¬ ed with the opportunity to learn about the culture and customs of countries they had only read about or seen on television.

The pro¬ crastinator ' s nightmare. The teachers ' revenge for classes cut. The college student ' s most feared five days. It ' s finals week. Finals week creeps up on us like a pair of cheap un¬ derwear. Those resolutions made at the beginning of the semester to study every night and keep ahead of homework assignments are always broken long before we receive notice of when the final exam is scheduled for each of our classes. Even then we make no great effort to catch up on our reading or start the papers which are due the last week of classes. Instead, we put off the inevitable until the last possible moment. Probably the worst day of the whole semester is the Sunday before finals week. It ' s on this day we realize to prepare for the week ahead, 14 chapters must be read, three Mead spirals worth of notes reviewed and two 15-page papers written. When getting into the act of serious studying, some of us choose to do so in groups. We get together with fel¬ low classmates and exchange notes and opinions with hopes of making up what we may have missed in class. Usually more discussion of Christmas parties takes place than does analysis of theories of political parties. There are those who choose to study in the privacy of their dorm rooms or apartments. Preparation for such studying requires a comfortable pair of sweats, a pot or two of coffee and all the excuses we can muster. We certainly can ' t let that phone keep ringing and a little snack will give us the energy we need to study. But when it ' s finally over, when the last exam is taken and the last paper handed in, we rejoice in our free¬ dom from responsibility ... at least until grades come out. m (i) John Veazy, right, tries his best to explain probability and statistics to fellow classmates Sue Hodges, Jack Bentley, and Lesli Hill as they study for the final exam.

Hot drinks, home-baked cakes and cookies. And good cheer. We and the faculty were busy with final exams but the days were counted until we would be away from the campus and home with our families. How to get home was a problem many students faced. Often arrangements were made to car-pool. A carload to the west, another headed East. The question of what to get Mom and Dad for Christmas perplexed us all. Yet, we knew if we asked them, we ' d hear the same old reply. We don ' t want anything for Christmas . . . just you. That ' s all we ' ll ever want. And we planned what we ' d do once we made it home. Sleeping in, watching television and catching up on what we ' d missed were top priority. Just the thought of knowing we ' d be free of the books for a few weeks was enough in itself. (5) (1) The MacKay Foyer was filled with students, faculty and staff during the Christmas party.

Veto power, BSP concern Senate he 1981-82 Park College Senate Association (PCSA) was actively involved in all areas of student life. PCSA acted as the go-between with the administration and the student body. One area the Senate devoted a great deal of time’ was the reinstitution of an active Board of Student Publications (BSP). The BSP was defunct during the fall semester. It ' s value be¬ came evident during the controversy sur¬ rounding the questioned censorship of a Stylus article. Another contribution the Senate made, not only for the benefit of students but also the community, was a donation of $500 to the fi¬ nancially troubled Northland Symphony. Other trouble areas the Senate faced included the constant battle with the administration over who should control student pu blications. Several students also questioned what actual power the Senate had when they discovered President Condit had the right to veto any de¬ cision the Senate made.

It ' s Rubik ' s Cube and Park was no exception to the cube craze. The multi-colored objects were taken to English class, to lunch in the Commons, and too seriously.

Park ' s Student Senate donated $525, one third of the amount the Orchestra needed to complete its season. Though there was some opposition to the dona¬ tion, most of the Park com¬ munity thought the gift was money well spent. Ted Albrecht conducts the Northland Symphony Orchestra in the Chapel. :1 i j Game allows escape It usually happened in the depths of New Dorm though it eventually spread off-campus. They gathered three or four times a week. The games went on for hours and never really ended. The players killed and bargained to stay alive or to win the trea¬ sures of an opponent. The game: Dungeon ' s and Dragons, a complexity of maps, charts, books and imagination. And while most students relieved the tension of academia through visit¬ ing or watching television, there w ere those who chose fe to risk their lives and treasures at the roll of the dice. g The paraphenalia necessary to play Dungeons and Dragons includes maps, charts, playing pieces . . . and a lot of free time.

The grant also funded new pro¬ grams for computer-assisted in¬ struction, basic skill development and student counseling. Dr. Melanie Tang and the Learning Assistance Center staff of skills specialist reviewed student skills needs and programs at other campuses, while giving personal help to several Park students with reading and writing problems.

The stage was bustling at the beginning of this act. Players and audience members had returned from intermission—Spring Break. They knew this was the act that would bring the play to a climax. For the crew it meant successinve scene changes. As the snow was removed from Act Two, tulips and green grass were set up for Act Three. But a mistake was made and half-way through the third act snow fell on the stage. Players scurried back to their dressing rooms and shorts and t- shirts were replaced with coats and sweat¬ ers. All returned to normal and the play progressed. This was the final act. It made little difference to the understudies. They were busy planning for the roles they would take in a 1983 production. But for the leading characters, the seniors, it was a bittersweet scene. The script called for some serious acting. These seasoned veterans of the Park stage were getting their chance at a dramatic role. Show excitement. You ' re going into the real world. Be convincing, show them your stuff. Show remorse, you ' re leaving your friends. You ' re scared. And the final scene came—graduation. As seniors received their diplomas, their co- stars were packing for a road show or summer stock. The lights dimmed and the curtains drew closed. A quiet campus perched on a green carpet hill overlooked the river, high from spring rains. It was a good season. And a hard act to follow. Injuries mar Park ' s record in final season IP ark College ' s 1981-82 varsity baseball team ended their season May 2 with a 7-25 overall record. This marked the last year Park would have a varsity team. The Pirates opened their season March 19 with a dou¬ ble-header against Baptist Bible. Two starting players. Pitcher Brian Sandridge and Catcher Brian Neimuth, were out with injuries. Midway through the year the team reached the .500 mark in the conference, despite their 4-11 record. Our record stood at where it did because of injuries, head coach Jim Allen said. But I was still optimistic about the remainder of the year because we had four of the top ten big hitters in the conference. The four top hitters were juniors Brian Neimuth, Allen (A.J.) Wilson, and Seniors Cary Lundy and Jeff Janssen. Allen ' s optimism faded, however, when Athletic Direc¬ tor Don Vande Walle told the team with less than three weeks left in the season, the college decided to drop the program. After that, I lost all control. Our attitude became a real problem. Vande Walle cited administrative reasons for scratch¬ ing the sport. (1) A. S. Wilson stops his swing in time to prevent a strike. (2) Catcher Brian Neimuth secures his guards before stepping onto the diamond. (3) Junior Brian Sandridge winds up for a pitch. (4) Firstbaseman Marshall Richardson keeps an eye on the batter and the player at first. 99 (1) Sophomore Jamie Conners practices his pint ting. (2) Junior Cliff “Chip De Moss ci es a shot.

( 2 ) Team wins districts, DeMoss sets record P ark ' s varsity golf team wrapped up it ' s 1981-1982 season by capturing the National Association of Inter¬ collegiate Athletics (NAIA) District 16 title. Two golfers on the squad. Juniors Cliff Chip DeMoss and Alan Clark received all-district honors in the match. The victory qualified the team for the NAIA na¬ tional tournament at Elon College in North Carolina. I ' m real pleased with this squad, Coach Dale Lauritzen said. I can ' t remember any time we ' ve played so well. DeMoss turned in a second day score of 68 in the tour¬ nament. That score was the best round any player in the tour had and was the best individual score in Park ' s golfing history. Members of the squad included Chi p DeMoss, Alan Clark, Brain Anderson, Jamie Conners, Eric Lashbrook and Doug Hennier. I 100 TLlthough they didn ' t win any matches. Park ' s wom¬ en ' s tennis team, in it ' s first season, managed to main¬ tain a positive and enthusiastic outlook. And much of that attitude was accreditted to Coach Joel Loving. My main goal was to get the girls to have fun with the game and at the same time, learn, he said. I want to build a good name for Park as far as sportsmanship is concerned. Next year I ' ll get involved in more re¬ cruiting. Members of the team included number one seed Chris¬ tine Erwin, number two seed Johnna Howard, number three seed Deena Hubbard, Dolinda Galaviz, Lori Bloom and Keri Alexander.

As in the Indoor District meet in March, the Pirates bowed to a determined School of the Ozarks team. The outdoor district meet was held at Westminster Col¬ lege. The Pirates had won both the indoor and outdoor meets in 1981. The women ' s team placed sixth at the District meet. Two gradu¬ ating seniors and one injured runner affected the team ' s per¬ formance. But the season was not without it ' s strong points, as the young team kept growing and adding new records to the books. An especially strong perfor¬ mance at the District meet came from sophomore Dave Mitchell. Mitchell ran three of the tough¬ est races on the track, and placed in each one. He began with the 10,000 (6.2 miles), which he won. Then came a third place finish in the mile and a victory in the 5,000. 105 Intramural program expands, offering variety P ark ' s intramural program, one of the most successful student-oriented programs on campus, provided not only students, but faculty and staff a chance to partici¬ pate in a variety of sports. Under tbe coordination of Junior Kevin McDonough, the program expanded to include football, basketball. volleyball, softball, water polo, weightlifting and in¬ door soccer. The number of student and staff members involved in intramural sports doubled since the 1980-81 school year, according to Athletic Director Don Vande Walle.

The production was staged in the informal Studio The¬ atre and the audience felt as though they were a part of the set, sitting in Don Baker ' s apartment.

Park is depending on this stone for its financial Securi¬ ty- Through an extensive mining project which officially began with a May 8 groundbreaking ceremony. Park could generate some seven million dollars in royalties and 140,000 square feet of inexpensive, energy efficient underground development space. Forty thousand square feet located within Observatroy Hill will become an underground library and study center designated as the MacAfee Learning Center. Its scheduled completion date is September, 1983. The re¬ maining space beneath Observatory Hill will be devel¬ oped for other college activities. A tunnel will extend from Sixth Street to an entrance east of the Meetin ' House, allowing trucks to deliver supplies directly to the school ' s central underground warehouse. Other improvements resulting from the project include the construction of an athletic field parking lot and an equipment storage building will be available when Physical Plant moves underground. John Massey, Park ' s mining consultant, said one of the most financially beneficial by-products from the operation will be the availability of underground rental space four or five years after ground is broken. Excavation of the stone should be finished by March, 1983. (D Water which seeped into the mine collected and created an interesting reflection.

Reagan also proposed ending the National Direct Student Loan pro¬ gram, raising interest rates and im¬ posing stricter eligibility require¬ ments on Guaranteed Student Loans. In his final season.

They are the most impor¬ tant component of any theatrical production. In Narva, they were no excep¬ tion. In the summer of 1981, the advertisment read: WANTED: Actors to portray freshmen in upcoming Park College production. Must have high school experience. Should be convincing in roles which require insecurity, anxiety and immaturity but also able to develop character to include experience, self-control and self- awareness. SEASONED ACTORS: Openings as returning and transfer students in a Park College production. Previous work a necessity. Experience to include being humbled, achieving goals, suffering from a broken heart, learning to cope, and congeniality. In the fall, performers flocked to the campus. Some were fresh from high school stages. They were nervous and tried to present themselves as experienced players. The veterans of the Park stage found the newcomers performances amusing but were reminded of the time they were the youngest cast members. The play began and the roles of characters from all-night studiers to all- night partiers were filled. Those portraying athletes began their training; those portraying scholars began studying. As the play progressed, we saw those players break the stereo-types of their roles. A Presidential scholar made the track team—an equestrian debated the ethics of euthanasia in a Proudfoot class. But that was all part of the plot. Narva was no ordinary play and its players, no ordinary performers. On Stage 123 ' Bye green, hello registration blues registration day.

The two most expensive parts of the day come, first, at the table where your state¬ ment of fees are tabulated. Here pens shake as students write checks and brows break out in a sweat. The second blow to the bank book comes in the bookstore. The last two semesters were no exception. Students found former $16 books, $20, and $20 books jumped to $25. But there is one thing we can think about when fall ' 82 rolls around. The Board of Trustees is considering raising the tuition again. Ah, the price of education. Simple, right? Wrong! During the day that tries the patience of students, faculty and staff, the only thing that ' s easy is spend¬ ing your hard-earned money. The same words are heard all day. You ' ll have to wait here.

The 21 year-old Bolivian said his main goal now is to get a degree and work in the United States to get job experience before returning home. ♦ ♦ ■k ■k ■k ■k k ■k ■k ■k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k ■k k‘ k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k national ranks Senior Mark Young of Elsah, Illinois, comes from a different walk” of life.

Jim Nading, a Park security guard, better known as the ticket man , catches a lot of gruff from students for issuing those dreaded tickets. But if I didn ' t issue those tickets, somebody else would have to, he said. I don ' t know why stu¬ dents think it ' s my fault. Besides, I know what it ' s like to get a ticket, I got two myself this year. Despite the feelings of those who find white slips of paper under their windshield wipers, Nading received a certificate of appreciation from the sen¬ ate.

The 29 year-old Business Administration major, who calls himself the Ann Landers of Park College , has earned the respect of students on campus by the big brother image he projects.

Mitchell was named All-American for his efforts in track and Academic All-American for his per¬ formance in the classroom. The science major won a number of departmental honors and a pre-medical scholarship. Mitchell said students can receive a good educa¬ tion at Park if they ' re willing to work for it. 157 Norm of all trades here ' s Norman? KGSP just went off the air. Norman, how do you get this camera to show a picture? Norman is a name often heard on second floor Copley. It belongs to Norman Robertson, chief en¬ gineer. Robertson has been at Park since 1975 and is responsible for maintenance of the television and radio equipment. He sets up and maintains all audio-visual shows, tunes the chimes in MacKay tower and assists the radio and television classes. Robertson said he enjoys working in a po¬ sition where he is free to do his own work and is around young people. During Freshman Orientation Bill Honeycutt joins students at the Hawley dance. Veazey enjoys role .fter spending several years working in var¬ ious jobs and realizing that even though he was making more money it was buying less, 32 year-old John Veazey decided to do something about it. He enrolled at Park College in 1981 and decid¬ ed to major in Accounting. After only one semester, students on campus began to notice this tall, long-haired cowboy who seemed to know the answers in class. And they began going to him for answers and ad¬ vice. Veazey, who says he ' s having a ball at Park, plans to eventually become a CPA and open his own business. , ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ X- ♦ X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X- X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X iX Editor wins State awards (Sophomore Rick Blount, a Journal¬ ism English major from Richland, Washington, has proven himself a leader among his classmates.

Blount was also a member of the track and cross-country teams.

The view from MacKay, the view of MacKay, the view inside MacKay, a ticket on your car for spending too much time in front of MacKay. Certainly MacKay is worthy of the thousand photographs taken of it by parents and graduating seniors. But Park is more than MacKay. There is beauty in the deserted work farm north of campus, the abandoned buildings hidden in 800 acres of foliage and in the bab¬ bling streams winding through the woods. y 161 The Routine B, ' y the time you were a second semester freshman life at Park was pretty rountine. Classes, checking your mail, eating lunch, more classes, dinner and homework con¬ stituted your day. Even extracurri¬ cular activies became part of the routine. Then something happened. Some¬ thing unexpected. Maybe it was a reply to the Dear Dad, I need money letter or an A on the test you hardly studied for. Attending Park meant falling into a routine. But it was a comfortable routine and the unexpect offered a welcome relief. 162 164 CTurtain call. Make-up run¬ ning and heart pounding. It ' s time to pack up and move on. You did some fine acting out there, kid. Did those lines jus¬ tice. That bed race scene, good enthusiasm. And those dances, got your choreogra¬ phy down pat. The audience loved you. Did you say you ' ll be in next sea¬ son ' s cast? Well, no matter. There ' ll be others. But if you have to leave, don ' t get stuck in the same role too long. Be seeing you, kid. You know, I played this part once. Best I ever had. Wish some¬ one had been there to tell me the things I could tell you. You can go places kid.
