The beauty of the landscape combined with the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the community provided a welcome backdrop for the opening of the university September 6. Malibu's 15.000 persons and Pepperdine's September enrollment of 850 shared the picturesque development. The university's subtle Spanish design, the product of architect William Pereira, served to preserve the quiet elegance and privacy of the community mood. The establishment of the Center for Community Enrichment strengthened the campus-community relationship. eighteen nineteen drama: from germany to ireland malibu's first year features comedy, drama and an original play by a student playwright twenty the diary of anne frank The Diary of Anne Frank, a gripping drama concerning the lives of Jews in hiding during the era of Hitler, was the first theater production staged on the Malibu campus.

Diversity was the key word. Traditional sorority-fraternity activities continued with Father-Daughter Banquets, pledge weeks, and blood drives. Highlight of the year was the Spring Songfest which included selections from musicals Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, and Jesus Christ Superstar. The picturesque setting of the campus introduced new concepts in extracurricular activities, however. Surfing, sailing, and skydiving clubs typified the type of special interest areas Malibu students desired. The year was innovative. The year was experimental. Whether traditional, social service oriented, or geared to the locale, club activities continued to play a vital part in the Hepperdme campus scene. twenty-six V.v it all began with a pledge twcnty-tcven kaleidoscope of events twenty-eight year of activity twenty-nine mary poppins. spring sing starring: thirty and a superstar cowardly lion, thirty-one thirty-three thirty-four thirty-fivo thirty-six rock concerts, homecoming student association presents: randy lowry, fall s.a. president dan hudson, winter s.a. president thirty-seven homecoming: when both sides meet thirty-ei9ht forty karen dodson, miss pepperdine malibu, 1973, is congratulated by dr. jerry hudson For a great percentage of students attending Pepperdine's beach campus, Malibu is not only a place to go to school but a home. Students living on campus were lodged in comfortable home like dorms designed to accommodate 50 students each. Separate suites were arranged around a central living room with a fireplace.

In the Communications Division, students learn the basics of mass, small group and interpersonal interaction while studying the individual disciplines of speech, drama, composition, journalism and foreign language. Students are then able to put their knowledge into action by competition on the debate team, directing or acting in plays, or editing and producing student publications including two newspapers, a yearbook and two magazines. The importance of written communication in college is underscored by the requirement that all students complete a course in composition during their first year at Pepperdine-Malibu. ruth ransohoff dr. morris womack dr. edward rockey, chairman joann carlson c. thomas nelson I fifty-four dr. fred casmir dr. stewart hud son dr. steven lemley ken stimson f ifty-f iv« fine arts division Fine arts has been perhaps the most vivid and creative expression of man's inner feelings throughout history.

This is the foundation of courses in the humanities, which include specific fields of literature, history, philosophy and American studies. Students in Western Heritage, the largest single class on the Malibu campus, explore these components beginning with the days of the Mcsopotanians. In seminars and upper division work, students are then able to relate the classics to the present in a vivid, yet realistic, form. dean etheridge fifty-eight dr. warren kilday natural science division I  - The study of zoology, physiology and botany along with the related fields of physics and mathematics-has been enhanced on the Malibu campus by flexible new laboratories and equipment.

With the opening of the Malibu campus, administrators-perhapsmore than any other group- were confronted with massive headaches. It was their job to see that all university facilities -from the library to the food service to the science laboratories-were functioning smoothly and that overall policies were being implemented. Only one month before freshmen were to arrive on campus, top officials were being told that the campus wouldn't be ready to open on schedule. After the campus did open on time, hassles over dormitory policies, parking violations, grade curves and faculty salaries were among new problems that the administrators faced. Or. Jerry Hudson headed the administration of the new campus. Gradually, all top university wide administrators, including President William S. Banowsky, also moved to Malibu. dr. m. norvel young, chancellor dr. william s. banowsky, president dr.

He scored as many as 57 points in a single game, averaged 33.9, and ended up heading the nationwide scoring list by a one point per game average. His remarkably steady play paved the way for the Waves' most successful season in 10 years as they finished 15-11 overall and 7-7 in theWCAC, tied for third place. The Waves fielded a young team, often starting two sophomores (Allan Jones and Billy Williams) and two freshmen (Dick Skophammer and Mike Schroeder-providing great hope for the future. It was a season of great offensive fireworks, as Coach Gary Colson's squad averaged almost 90 points per game. And it was a season in which the Waves finally demonstrated a home court advantage, winning 12 of 14 games in Culver City. In 1973-74 the fireworks will be located on the Malibu campus. seventy-seven a year of 2163 points... seventy-eight seventy-nine kV eighty but a year of great frustration eighty-ono ci hty-two wave spikers building a dynasty Although dominated by freshmen and sophomores, the Wave volleyball team began to look like a powerhouse in its first year at Malibu. They blasted such top West Coast outfits as Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara and played near-even against defending NCAA champ UCLA and USC before bowing. A second place finish in the UC Santa Barbara Collegiate invitational even gave the Waves a chance to earn a berth in the NCAA playoffs. Veterans Jim Smoot, Marv Dunphy and Mike Bettinghouse provided the nucleus for the team, but received substantial help from underclassmen Steye Barrett. Mike Bekins, Ted Oodd, Mike Cram and Bill Kolberg. eighty-three waves find a home The search each year for a new home base for Wave sports was to have ended with the move to Malibu. Delays, however, kept the 3500-seat Firestone Fieldhouse under construction through the 1973 basketball-volleyball season. Completion was set for mid-July. The tennis and baseball teams were luckier. Their home debuts occured right on schedule in Feburary, on courts and fields judged to be the finest in California. eighty.four eighty-five pep netmen vie for wcac victory Alter two years as also-rans, Pepperdine’s tennis team seemed capable of challenging the rest ol the conference once again, in a bid for another WCAC title. At season's end, the forecast proved correct, as Wave netmen edged Seattle to capture their sixth conference title, and their third in five years. Dave Mitchell, a sophomore from New Zealand played well all season and eventually won the WCAC singles championships. He also teamed with freshman Dick Miller to win the league doubles title. Pepperdine showed good strength all the way through their basic six-man lineup, as Gary Hale, John Birkhauser. Jerry Chu and Phil Ogiela were regular winners. eighty-six solo efforts... eighty-nine sailing... a sport, an art Despite a budget which hardly covered entry fees and gas, Pepperdine University's fledgling sailing team-consisting of Dan Whitehead. Vince Garcia, Kerry Kinney. Tim Murry, Jim Grubbs and Tracy Albert-experienced unique success. In the Oouglass Cup races in Newport, the Malibu crew finished third behind two of Southern California's more formidable teams. And there is potential for an even stronger team. Grubbs i s the Pacific Coast Champion in 470's, a 15-foot, two-man high-performance dinghy that is used in Olympic competition. Pepperdine's physical education department additionally held a class during the year which included Sabats, Lasers, Cal 28's and several other boats ranging up to 50 feet in length. Mel Lennox coached the sailing team and taught the sailing classes. ninety ninety-one ninety-two waves bats: sounds of silence Bolstered by top junior college recruits and returning half its starting line up, the baseball team was the pre-season favorite to capture the WCAC crown. At midseason, however, the Waves lost 12 consecutive games and were buried in the second division of the standings. While Wave pitchers Scott Wegner. Rich Mora and Pat Murphy boasted low ERA'S, coach Wayne Wright's batsmen all seemed to be in a slump. Of the regulars, only second baseman Scott Muckey maintained an average over .300, and the men directly behind him in that department-cocaptains Steve Dresser and Tim Alcantar-were fluctuating between .235 and .250. ninety-three hurling heroics strengthen squad ninety-four baseballers fail to reach potential ninety-live 1973 terri newton editor eugene louie photography coordinator associate editors: bob eisberg kris nelson robin johnson photographers: john davies mike martinez kathy mattmiller ktm may rick meyer beth ogle joy ley ray rodriguez grey ling shultz jim youngs production norma jean horita jeannette mccormack candi parks kathy williams advisor : joann carlson VH I
