number of fields of service, and Honorary Degree recipients from other institutions. Our most recent example of a Park success story, was on campus for the Soccer match between Alumni and Varsity last weekend. Chris Perrone, who was chosen as the Outstanding Man in last year’s graduating class, won honors in athletic events, in his chosen field of studies and gained recognition from his classmates and faculty. His example we hope to see emulated in the lives of many as individuals Work, study and live to be, as the slogan says, ‘The Best That We can Be.’ We recognize the presence of the following students. (33 states) Alaska.1 Arkansas.1 Colorado.6 Florida.1 Georgia.1 Idaho.1 Illinois.4 New Jersey.2 New Mexico.1 New York.5 North Carolina.1 North Dakota.1 Ohio.2 Indiana.2 Iowa.2 Kansas.41 Louisiana.1 Massachusetts.1 Michigan.12 Missouri.238 Montana.4 Nebraska.7 New Hampshire.1 Oklahoma.4 Oregon.3 Pennsylvania.1 South Dakota. 1 Tennessee.1 Texas.6 Virginia.1 Washington.1 Wisconsin.3 (18 Foreign Countries) Australia.1 Canada . 1 El Salvadore.2 Federated States of Micronesia.29 France.2 Great Britain.1 India.2 Jamaica.1 Jordan.1 Liberia.2 Libya.1 Malaysia.1 Mexico.1 Netherlands.1 Nigeria.2 Puerto Rico.1 Saudi Arabia.5 Turkey.1 Venezuela.1 With this diversity which is one of our strengths, we must recognize that the difference imposes upon us the responsibility for developing some common goals that will allow us to become a community and, hopefully at our best, the Park Family. To do this, we must go beyond facilities and funds and academic successes to the acceptance of basic goals to which we can respond. At Park, that in- eludes respect for individual rights, but also, there is the imposition of acceptance of community and institutional responsibilities. We have become increasingly aware of the threat to our society of illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco. I believe we have waited too long in the academic community to recognize the wholeness of human life and to take a public stance against practices that are destructive of the health of individuals -- for this neglect imposes heavily upon the balance of our society. All colleges who have membership in the NAIA have been asked to develop a policy to deal with the issue of drugs among athletes on college campuses. Clearly the problem is larger than just illegal drugs, which are forbidden at Park, and alcohol, which has not been invited to the campus. Recent medical studies highlighted the hazards of tobacco. With these aspirations then: Stronger academic programs; Enhanced educational facilities; Greater , economic resources, and More productive personnel and community life due to better health and deeper moral spiritual persuasion, I invite you to join in the quest. It is my hope that this can be for each of you the best year of your life! I am sure that this will be so for many of you. And I pledge the support of Faculty and Staff to make this so!
