Pepperdine University enjoyed its share of being in the spotlight. In addition to being a backdrop for several television shows, the Malibu campus made the headlines for many activities on or near the campus. A spectacular fire raged in Topanga Canyon threatening to destroy Pepperdine’s 140-acre land parcel in November. The blaze blackened more than 2600 acres mcluding an area only one mile from the university's Topanga Meadows. Although no structures were damaged, hundreds of residents were forced to flee their homes. Topanga Meadows was the subject of heated disputes earlier in the school year when the Topanga Association for a Scenic Community (TASC) sought to block development of this area. In May. the university made plans to sell 65 acres to land developer Ralph Henklc. The Tyler Ecology Award was given out for the first time in January. Three recipients shared the $150,000 award for their contributions to the field of ecology during the last 10 years. Gov. Ronald Reagan announced the three winners at an advance press conference held 10 days before the awards dinner held Feb. 8. Sharing the award were Dr. G. Evelyn Hutchinson. professor emeritus of zoology at Yale University. Dr. Arie Haagen Smit. professor emeritus of biochemistry at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and Maurice Strong, executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program. The spectacular Mahbu fire was visible from campus as 500 city and county firefighters battled the blaze. 7 DATELINE: PEPPERDINE. DATELINE: PEPPERDINE. DATELINE: PEPPERDINE. DATELINE: PEPPERDINE.

Tyler and his wife. Alice C. Tyler shortly before his death. The fund is administered by Pepperdine University with George C. Bales as executive director. The banquet was planned and executed by the Patrons of Pepperdine University, a group organized to add a new dimension to the university according to Peggie Bales, university coordinator. The group of 70 women was organized in the fall to help raise scholarships, take care of library needs and perform special duties. The Patrons donated $50,000 raised by the dinner to the university to use as it wishes. A pic fight between William S. Banowsky and Lee Wilkins, SGA president, drew a sizeable crowd to the amphitheater and several television news teams. The two presidents dueled with cream pies to a messy ending. The Associated Women of Pepperdine honored Helen Pepperdine with a This is your life” style dinner in October.Mrs. Fepperdine was surprised by many family friends and relatives.

In the area of dedications, six Pepperdine landmarks were formally dedicated throughout the year. Included in the many ceremonies were the dedications of Pendleton Learning Center, the Polesie Pine Grove, Stauffer Chapel, Murchison Science Center, Phillips Theme Tower and the Maxcine Feltman White home. The Banowsky family moved into their new home on the hill overlooking the campus. The $300,000 structure was made possible by a donation from Mrs. George C. Brock. The home, which Dr. Banowsky describes as a symbol of what Pepperdine has accomplished, is styled in keeping with the other .university buildings' Spanish design. On the economics side, the campus felt the inflation pinch when tuition was raised to $89 a unit. The Wave baseball team made big news by winning the WCAC title and going on to the NCAA District 8 playoffs against USC. Although the batmen were beaten in the three game scries, it was the finest Wave athletic showing in years. Pep students aided the Malibu community when January storms and hiqh tides threatened homes along the beach. Several Pep vans filled with volunteer workers went down to the Malibu shoreline to sand bag and build up the areas in front of the beach homes.They were commended by the Malibu Chamber of Commerce for their help. ..DATELINE: PEPPERDINE.......DATELINE PEPPERDINE........DATELINE PEPPERDINE.........DATELINE: PEPPERDINE....... PA 12 Pepperdine was forced to cot back its consumption of electricity durum the world wide energy crisis. Electrical power and gasoline both became increasingly more expensive and scarce when Pepperdine suffered along with the rest of the world during the energy crisis. Gasoline stations along Pacific Coast Highway limited their hours to conserve gas. Worried students drove in all directions and at all hours to find a station with gas. Despite numerous energy-conserving measures taken by the university's administration and staff, as well as by students in the dorms, electrical power was not saved in adequate amounts. However, at many times throughout the year the lights were turned off on the dorm roads, stairways and on Se3ver Drive while big cutbacks were felt by Firestone Ficldhousc. the academic complexes and both parking lots. As the events indicate the year at Pepperdine was a flurry of activity 3nd involvement. As the campus swung into its second year of operation its reputation was spread by its increased exposure in the news. .jDA TELINE: PEPPERDINE DATELINE: PEPPERDINE. DATELINE: PEPPERDINE.

Student Activities Itt Dorm Residence Homes assumed distinct personalities this year, demonstrating dorm spirit through participation m sports and other school sponsored events. Dorm VII. placing first in intramurals basketball and football competition. captured the sweepstakes trophy. Mer Buck, R.A. was named “Woman Athlete of the Year. The extent of your dorm life or spirit is going to determine whether residents are happy at Pepperdine. according to Buck. Several dorms displayed their enthusiasm by purchasing t-shirts bearing mottos signifying that particular home. Residents of Dorms VII and XII, taking the names of their R.A.'s, donned shirts Spirit printed with Howe’s House” and Mertle’s Girdles. This year the men’s dorms selected sister homes, initiating parties, barbeques, dinners and beach trips. Dorm XII formed an escort service to walk members of its sister dorm to their home late at night. Several of the dorms, using funds obtained from the Coke machines held a party once a month to honor students' birthdays and specific holidays. The intense studying during finals also prompted dorms to have short refreshment breaks in the evening, Some of the resident homes spruced up” their lobbies by holding dorm decorating parties. Open Houses were also held, enabling students to visit freely with friends in other dorms. Dor Dorm residents frequently studied together. I Tempting hamburgers were a part of Sunday barbeques 17 Club Activities Although Popperdine’s Malibu campus is perched in the midst of one of California's most scenic locations, students have found that rugged mountains and a sparkling ocean make for a rather subdued social life. Unlike urban colleges, Pep-Malibu is somewhat isolated from the social animation and entertainment opportunities found in large cities. So, students turn to on-campus organizations for entertainment, resulting in more than 20 clubs representing a variety of interests. Peppcrdinc's numerous clubs can be roughly divided into two basic categories: the social-service clubs and special interest organizations. The service clubs have evolved from the traditional version of sororities and fraternities, with a special inclination to community service added. The fall trimester pledge week witnessed a marked decrease in new pledges for the six clubs participating, due to a new Inter-Club Council ruling forbidding freshmen from pledging their first trimester. Other traditions were still apparent, however, as pledges of one of Pepperdine’s oldest fraternities, Sigma Tau Sigma (Sub-T's) raided two women's dorms. One of the more active sororities. Delta Tau Omega, broke with their traditions this year, shifting the club's emphasis to Christianity. Delta's, who pledged 18 new members during the winter pledge week in January, sponsored a women's reception for Gay Banowsky, Ann Hudson and Helen Young as one of the major activities of the year. The sorority also sponsored the annual Sweetheart Banquet. Kappa Kappa. Pepperdine’s oldest sorority, doubled its membership with winter pledging. Kappas hosted the father-daughter banquet, donated a turkey basket to a needy family at Thanksgiving and co-sponsored a Shiloh child with brother organization Tau Rho Sigma. A new sorority. Theta Alpha Phi. joined the older organizations and surpassed many in membership, pledging 16 new members each trimester. Theta Alpha Phi sponsored the mother-daughter luncheon. Ski Trip III Pledging One of the more service minded clubs. Sigma Theta Chi (Seeking Through Christ) gave its pledges service projects during the winter pledge week and sold Cookiegrams.” personalized messages iced on cookies, for Valentine’s Day. to raise money for the school's leukemia drive. Alpha Phi Omega, a national service organization whose Chi Delta Chapter is housed at Peppcrdine sponsored two campus blood drives, collecting more than 200 pints for the American Red Cross. Although. the social-service organizations provide the basis for campus club activity, the special interest clubs round out student social life, offering a smorgasbord of interests and activities ranging from chess to sailing. Kappa Kappa sponsored the Father-daughter Banquet Banquets The equestrian club proved to be one of the most popular and most active clubs. Involving students other than just club members, the cquestrain club sponsored two all-school gymkhanas. The equestrian playdays, held in September and January teamed brother and sister dorms in horseback relays. Appropriate to a campus set in the Santa Monica Mountains, a hiking and camping club originated on the Pepperdine-Malibu campus and hosted its first all day hike in February. The ski club, open to both seasoned skiers and beginners, attracted much student interest. The club held its first outing in February when 18 students left at 6 a.m. to spend a day on the slopes in Snow Valley. With a more academic atmosphere. Women in Communications, Inc., a professional journalism society, was also an active club on campus. WICI, in cooperation with the student publications office, hosted its annual high school journalism day, Jan. 26. inviting more than 300 junior and high school journalists to the Malibu campus fora day of seminars and awards. Although campus clubs can’t compete with the social opportunities to be found around an inner-city campus, Peppcrdme-Malibu’s 25 organizations offer a wide variety of activities catering to the diverse interests of the students. And. those rugged mountains and that sparkling ocean have an innate appeal than no urban campus can begin to compete with.

Mother-daughter Tea 21 Student Government Associntion Pcpperdinc's SGA (Student Government Association) president this year stood at the top of a totally untested governmental system. The outstanding feature of the SGA structure was a separation of power. The Student Council. Student Assembly and three judicial councils were the agents whereby elected officials conducted their business. During the 311 trimester three candidates vied for the coveted post of SGA president. All three said that they were attempting to run '‘issues.” the primary one being the handling of the $7 student activity fee. initiated this year, following student approval last year. With some 250 students voting, the year's officers were Lee Wilkins, president; Duke Runnels, vice president; Cheryl Gordon, secretary and Larry Moore, treasurer. All except Gordon ran under the SEAL(Studcnts for Effective Action in Leadership) party label. Activities during the fall trimester included a coffee house, sponsored by student government. Students perfomed folk rock music in the faculty lounge. Free refreshments were offered. Several concerts were held, which included rock groups Champion.” Dr. Hook” and Ballin' Jack.” The many faces of Lee Wilkins, SGA president for 1973-74. 22 Campaigning in SGA elections were Duke Runnels (It fiI end Steve Gal (right}. Runnels was elected vice president. SGA sponsored the appearance of the rock group Champion. Several committees were created under the auspices of SGA. The Advisory Committee, a five-member board appointed by the president, was instrumental in getting the gates opened for longer periods of time and doing away with bright lights outside the dorm windows. The Spiritual Life Committee worked with Student Life in providing entertaining and meaningful chapel services. The group also initiated 3 spiritual newspaper. Manna, edited by Jan Howard. Under the direction of Dan Steinberg, the Food Advisory Team (FAT) gained momentum during the winter trimester. The committee formed a liaison betv ccn cafeteria personnel and students to work out complaints and upgrade dining hall service. The team also suggested the revamping of the snack bar. Perhaps the most successful SGA sponsored activity during the winter was the Up With People” concert, held in Firestone Fieldhouse and drawing a crowd of more than 1500 students, faculty and members of the community. The music performed by the 100 member group was all original and encompassed everything from rock to country selections. 2.1 Sfr.i Presents Up With People9 A sizeable audience of 1500 students, faculty and members of the community enjoyed the SGA sponsored Up With People concert. The group performer! an evening of songs ranging from rock to country selections. Many of the performers were housed in Pep's dorms during their stay here. 2 1 Old Malibu Days President Banowsky presented Homecoming Queen Barbara Jennings at halftime. Happy Birthday gifts for the president Light participation and enthusiasm tended to put a damper on Pep’s second annual homecoming event. Old Malibu Days, included a week of SGA sponsored events. It was concluded by a losing but close 75-72 basketball battle against the University of Ncvada-Rcno. Barbara Jennings. Oorm VIII resident assistant, was crowned homecoming queen during halftime ceremonies at the game against Las Vegas. Princesses were Ginger Keister and Janet Kerr. A student vote selected Chris Sangster as Old Malibu Oays sheriff and Fred Stewart as deputy.

Banowsky received a Let’s Boogie shirt as 3 birthday present from SGA President Lee Wilkins. He was given the shirt during halftime at the game against Reno. Dorm X was awarded a first place trophy for dorm competition in track and field events. Banowsky presented the award to dorm resident Tony Miller. A car rally and surfing contest were held, each drawing four entries. Enrique Ug3S was given a first place ribbon in the surfing contest, while Steve McHargue. of the social science division took the top award of $10 in the car rally. Doug Herrema and Dan Steinberg coordinated the rally. The week ended on a wet note with the cancellation of the alumni and parents' day. due tc rain.

Music Music is the universal language and Pepperdine’s department speaks it well. Employing new techniques and creative thought, campus performing groups added dimension to university life. The 40 member A Cappella Chorus is engaged in bringing to people an enrichment through good choral music and to relay the message of Christ. according to Larry McCommas, director. In addition to the traditional campus performances, activities included a local fall tour, with the theme of Peace. During the spring break the chorus carried its annual spring program to four western states. One day of the nine day tour was devoted to filming a local religious program in Phoenix, Arizona. The tour climaxed two trimesters of rehearsals. In addition to the chorus. Pepperdine's Christian philosophy is also told through the music The ChoraI Ensemble performed at Magic Mountain amusement park. of the Singin' Trav'lcrs. The group performs for chapel services as well as high schools, colleges and churches throughout the west. The Pepperdine University Community Orchestra, under the direction of Hansel Rayner, gave several concerts this year. During the fall trimester it performed music from Beethoven, Mozart. Handel. Vivaldi and Zador. Celebrated violinist Israel Baker teamed his talents with the orchestra for the spring concert in Tyler Center. Baker has been featured as soloist with the Indianapolis, Toronto. Hollywood Bowl, Chicago and Dayton orchestras. Rayner also conducts the Burbank Symphony Orchestra. On a contemporary note,the 12 member Choral Ensemble changed its format this year by adding colorful costumes and choreography. They featured musical arrangements from Ray Charles.

Under the direction of Roger Wagner, the A Cappel o Chorus joined in the annual Christian song test. th Screen Test for Pep H i I H The Pep campus was transformed into a Hollywood movie set several times during the year. Complete with cameras, technicians and actors, the crews went about their business shooting scene after scene while students watched from a distance. Pat Boone was on campus for several days when the Owen Marshall series filmed an episode here. Howard Duff was seen running through the campus during a chase scene from a television movie shot here during the fall. Even Robert Young, as Marcus Welby. made a house call to Pep when his series used the Malibu buildings as a backdrop. The Channel 7 Eyewitness News” team came out in full force to film the Banowsky v. Wilkins pic fight. KNBC's Brainworks shot a special titled A Filmmaker's Perspective of Pcpperdine University. Malibu which was shown during the summer trimester. The television room was packed when the television movie The Girl Most Likely To” aired in the fall. A few were even surprised to see themselves lurking in the background behind the main actors. Most students enjoyed the excitement the traveling crews brought to the campus and managed to accept the inconveniences with ease. Some were even invited to participate in a crowd scene. :ii Intramural.s Alpha Dubi Hi’s. Freaks. Sundowners. Knights names lor new rock groups? Or possibly names for new pro sports franchises? Not at all. These are names of a few of Pepperdine's intramural sports teams. During the last three trimesters, hundreds of students volleyed volleyballs, swatted softballs, and throw footballs in the university's on-campus sports program. Tennis, basketball, Ping Pong, chess and other competitions prompted students out to the athletic fields and recreation rooms after classes and on weekends. Program director George Poole reported in April that many more students had signed up for activities this year than last and that interest among off-campus students had also grown since last summer. Dorm XVII, led by the league's most valuable player, quarterback Carlos Luevano. captured the dorm league championship crown with an 8-2 victory over Dorm X in the final game. Dorm XVII has won nine games in a row during the season, including a hard-fought playoff 12-6 victory over arch-rival Dorm XVI.

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, a modern musical based on the Peanuts comic strip, premiered during the fall. Directed by Or. Jackie Fooks and Lawrence McCommas of the Fine Arts division, the cast included Charlie Brown, Brad Andreasen; Peppermint Pattie, Sally Keown; Lucy, Marilyn McCracken; Snoopy, Alan Hutcheson; Linus, Bruce Carnahan and Schroeder. Dennis Sullivan. The Charles Shultz comedy consisted of scenes from the life of Charlie Brown in a format similar to that of the comic strip. Music and choreography wore major parts of the production, according to Fooks. On a more serious note, the drama department changed from comedy to tragedy during the winter trimester. King Henry. Steve Holgate. and his queen, Christine Craig, quarrel over which of their three sons will rule the kingdom after Henry’s death in The Lion in Winter. Of the sons, Henry preferred the youngest, John, played by Manny Lopez. The queen favored the eldest, Richard, portrayed by Rodger Green. The middle son. Geoffrey, Alan Hutcheson, hoped to play both ends against one another to finally win out. According to Holgate the production revealed kings and queens as people, with emotions and torments also. Giving theater majors the opportunity to exercise their talents beyond the realm of acting, six students directed plays were presented during April, by members of the directing class. “Enter a Free Man. a farce-comedy about an eccentric London inventor, was directed by Holgate.

The trip was one of several taken during the year. Foreign Studies Pcpperdinc tradition has broadened its basis to touch the far corners of the world. For students with a desire to travel, the university offered three programs this year which combined studying and sightseeing into a rare educational experience. In the belief that a year spent in Europecan be an important part of a liberal arts education, the university maintains a campus in Heidelberg, Germany. Situated in the beautiful valley of the Ncckar River, Heidelberg's old world charm is an ideal center for absorbing European culture. Last fall the Year in Europe program had its largest attendance, 48 students. The program expanded its living quarters to accommodate the growing student body by occupying one floor of the Hotel Schwartzes Schiff situated across the river from Moore Haus. Intended primarily for students in their junior year, the academic program emphasizes European history and culture. Classes, held in Amerika Haus. 3 center jointly sponsored by the American and German governments, arc conducted on a four-day schedule to provide time for independent travel. Each trimester field trips are incorporated into the curriculum. During the fall, students took a trip down Bavaria's Romantic Road. stopping in the Black Forest. A meeting with Germa govern-ment officials highlighted the winter excursion to Bonn and Berlin. The summer trimester offered a trip behind the Iron Curtain to Prague. Czechoslovakia. The university's concern is touching another area of the globe. For a unique academic experience 12 students participated in a five week cruise to Alaska. The university afloat departed from Yarrow Bay Marina in Kirkland. Washington, a suburb of Seattle. The cruise, conducted on the protected waters of the famous Inside Passage between Seattle and Southeastern Alaska, provided the opportunity for students to observe the Indians of the North Coast. Six units of credit were given for study in social science, family life and physical education. Students took responsibility for the ship’s operations; piloting, navigating, seamanship, housekeeping and galley chores. After the first week students assumed the position of first crew” and rotated jobs. In January. Pepperdine extended its world study tours to Greece. Fifteen students traveled to the land of Socrates and the Acropolis for a trimester of study and travel. Students took courses in general anthropology, culture and personality, social science and modern Greek conversation. Dr. Dorothy Lee, a native Greek, also assisted some students in travel and study in Jerusalem. Pepperdine's programs, beyond the confines of the normal classroom situation have demonstrated that knowledge can not only be obtained from books, but also through studying people and cultures. Chapel Time The Student Life Office, with the help of the Spiritual Life Committee, sought to ni3ke this year's chapels meaningful and interesting to all students at Pep. A variety of themes provided for a wide range of chapel assemblies. Faculty and guest speakers, musical groups, skits, and student performances highlighted the year. The Time of Day musical ensemble from Harding College brought to Pep their brand of country music. A repotroire company performed their version of The Barber of Seville.” Pepperdine’s own students gave their interpretations of several faculty members while the faculty presented their version of A Night Before Christmas” during the Christmas holidays. 10 Graduation Dr. Howard White presents the April Valedictorians. Bobbie Howe receives his diploma from Dr. Banowsky. Graduating seniors increased as the Pepperdine. Malibu campus swung into its second year of operation. More than 22 seniors were graduated from the Malibu campus during the year. In December, 13 Malibu students and 150 seniors from the Los Angeles campus received their diplomas. The ceremony was held in Tyler Center with William F. Thomas, executive vice president and editor of the LA Times, as commencement speaker. The largest Malibu class of 51 graduated in April.

The spectacular panorama which is Malibu is a variable cornucopia of aesthetically pleasing sea and landscapes. Because of the geographical composition of the Malibu, temperature and climate vary dramatically from the oceanside of Pacific Coast Highway to the mountain side, a distance of merely 100 feet. Lazy fog may settle in one cove while permitting the luminiferous sun to shine in others. The average temperature for April will more than likely be higher than for June. By comparison to most other areas in the United States, weather in Malibu is cool in summer and warm in winter. The hottest day of the year usually occurs in November or December. The comfortable, mesmerizing sea breeze may suddenly undergo a lightning-quick metamorphosis and send howling winds gusting through canyons and chaparrals. Malibu’s nearly 20.000 residents live along the winding coastline for 27 miles, from the Los Angeles County boundary on the cast to the Ventura County line on the west, and back into the mountains from one to three miles. Nestled within Malibu’s 44.819 acres is an abundance of wildlife. Domestic animals also help to color the Malibu community. On a lucky day an avid naturalist may encounter roadrunners, a red fox. deer, an opossum or racoon. Quail and rabbits arc also prolific. It is not unusual to sec migratory birds of every description soaring, darting, or floating in and above the verdant countryside. Sea birds are equally fascinating. Pelicans swoop down as if launching a playful attack upon the crests of crashing waves while chattering sandpipers scurry to and fro in search of food. Meanwhile, the cacophonous cry of the sea gull can be heard drowning out the thunder of the strident ocean at high tide. Television and motion picture stars can be seen daily entering or leaving their plush beach homes along PCH, in the Colony or at the popular eating places in Malibu. Among the more noteworthy places of culinary delights are Alice’s Restaurant. Moonshadows. the Sea Lion. Malibu Inn and the Bagelah. Highlights of the year include the opening of the new J. Paul Getty Museum, an increasing influx of people and rapidly sprouting homes and condominiums. the Malibu 17 Figures and Forms Countryside Magic 51 ■ I r� :t Mystery and Moods LODGE PIANO BAR FRI i SAT GEORGE A KAMINSKI MALIBU TED'S RANCHO WEDNESDAY 12:30 MALIBU REALTOR '•WlFlf LISTING SfRVX Signing Off fttt Sports I I I Baseball Skip Willis batted .328 during the '74 baseball season. Following a dismal 1973 baseball season during which it seemed everything went wrong. Pepper-dine diamond fortunes were bound to take a turn for the better in 1974. And once Coach Wayne Wright's Waves realized just how good they really were, they were off to the races. Piling up wins as they never had before, Pep finished the regular season with a school record 37 victories in 47 games. This year, everything fell 1 into place. Pitching was the key. The starting Wave rotation pitched brilliantly and received sturdy support from the bullpen. Overall, Pep moundsmen finished with an earned run average of 2.15. But the hitting was there also. Although not possessing the great sluggers with home run power, the Waves made great use of singles and doubles, eventually winning the West Coast Athletic Conference title going away over more powerful Santa Clara. Reno and Las Vegas teams. Skip Willis was the offensive sparkplug for Pepperdine. The speedy junior lead-off man from Pacoima batted .328 and stole 48 bases. Wave captain for 74 was Scott Muckey, a seldom-recognized, but consistent player. He was second in Pep runs batted in and hit a very solid .287 while playing all but one game at second base. Muckey also struck out only 10 times in more than 180 at bats and tied for team leadership honors in sacrifices. A consistent player, Scott Muckey was Wave captain.

The junior strongboy handled 213 out of 217 chances without an error for a fine .982 percentage. He was also responsible for one-fifth of Pepperdine’s home runs in 1974 with two. Rick Mejia finished up his Pepperdine career in the outfield and was second on the team in extra base hits. Carl Renfro, also a graduating senior, played in all but six games and was second to Willis in stolen bases with 17. Amazingly, Renfro had only 24 hits but picked up 23 runs batted in.

USC The long-awaited NCAA District S playoffs started on a high note for the Wave team as is indicated above when Blaine Calder (sans cap) came in after rounding the bases on a ninth inning homer.He drove in two other runs which clinched the series opener. Valiant attempts were made by the Waves. Shortstop Bob Picciolo (left) successfully avoided Trojan Rich Dauer's attempt to break up the double play. The first game ended with a 4 2 score. The second and third games were USC victories by scores of 4-1 and 12-1 which clinched the fifth consecutive NCAA title for the Trojans. But the Waves were still to be commended for their fine per for mance which topped off a winning year for the team. tl And On the Mound... The big four on the mound for Pepperdinc were Pat Murphy. Mike Scott. Rich Mora and Mickey Hall. Murphy set a school record and finished nationally in wins with 12. He also established a new Wave strikeout record and compiled a marvelous 1.45 regular season ERA in more than 11 1 innings. Scott had an ERA in WCAC action under 0.40. led the league in wins and strikeouts while also tying the all-time shutout record with three in six games. The beefy freshman finished with eight wins and an ERA of 1.72 in overall action. Mora won seven games for the second successive season, recorded four saves in relief and W3S second only to Murphy in innings pitched. He allowed only one home run all year and finished with an earned run mark of 2.98. Hall was the primary stopper out of the bullpen. His biggest day's work came in a 6-5 win over USC when he shut off a ninth inning rally. Doug Corbin and Jim Carrillo were the two most active relievers besides Hall. Carrillo was 3-0 with a team-leading ERA of 1.06 while Corbin recorded four saves and 3n ERA of 1.70. Though seeing limited duty. Tony Cameron was very effective in the six games he pitched. Cameron had an ERA of 1.86 and allowed only 12 hits in nearly 20 innings pitched. Murphy and Mora finished up their brief two year careers at Pepperdine with some fine statistics. In two seasons, the pair combined for 32 of 54 Wave wins and an impressive ERA of under 2.40.

Total frustration better describes the season. The Waves' 8-18 record is bad on the surface, but not really that bad underneath. There were a few bright spots. One of them being the consistent efforts. Dick Skophammer, playing his second full season and only a sophomore, was rock-steady. He scored 14 points per game, gathered nearly eight rebounds per contest and was second in assists among the starters. He also shot nearly 55 per cent from the floor. Skophammer was voted his team's Most Valuable Player award for the season. Billy Williams set two school records in 73-74 and will be returning for his senior year next season. The 6-7 Cincinnati product shot 57 per cent in the field goal department breaking Skop-hammer’s record of one year ago and collected 1 18 assists, two more than Bird Averitt managed in 72-73. Probably his best all-around game came against University of San Francisco when he scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Billy Williams set two new school records. Dick Skophammer (14) averaged 14 points per game. «4 Allan Jones scored more points in one game than any other Wave in 1974—33 against Chicago State. He also had 31 against Pacific University. 28 against Evansville (both on the road), and finished the season with a 14.1 scoring average. Marcos Lcite was a big story in Wave basketball this season. The Brazilian import didn’t need to speak English to prove he knew basketball. He finished the year averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per game. Accordingly, he v as voted the West Coast Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Pepperdine basketball was something new to people in Malibu and the crowd count showed it. On the average, only 1,700 fans showed for home games. However, the coaching staff and administration hope that future seasons will be brighter. An average crowd gathered for Malibu's first basketball season. 1.1 s Court Frustration Williams Heft} showed his stuff in the USF game. Largely on his efforts, Pep took an early eight-point lead but was eventually overtaken by the champion Dons. For Colson (above), sometimes there seemed nothing better to do than meditate. Not even that worked, especially in Firestone Fieldhouse. The Waves won only five games out of 15 on their new home floor. Coaches Gary Colson, Bill Bloom and Dan Yocum (below left) suffered through some bad moments this year, but maintained optimism to the bitter end. From the left, Bloom took care of defensive chores. Yocum handled fouls and timeouts and Colson ran the offense. Chris Thompson Iright) had an unusual season. A proven dead-eye from the floor, he shot nearly 50 per cent-mostly from 20 feet or farther. His high game was 30 points against OraI Roberts University. I v F t Most Valuable Player in '73-74 was Dick Skophammer (14). The Waves got early season help from Richie Allen, a freshman from Daniel Murphy High. Although his prospects were good for the future, this w3s his first and last season at Pepperdine. At times, Leite definitely appeared to tower above the crowd. It was never more apparent than against St. Mary's when he collected 32 points and 18 rebounds in a 72-67 Wave victory. He also racked up 22 points and 21 rebounds against Neveda-Reno. Between Leite and Skophammer, Pepperdine had good board strength. What one of them didn't get. the other usually did—one reason why Pep out-rebounded opponents by nearly five per game this year. Freshman Richie Allen gave the team early season support. Brazilian BomberMarcos Leite, had a strong season. «7 Yoga and meditation were employed by the team to enhance their concentration. Volleyball All■ Tournament Bill Kolberg will return next year A 9 Pcpperdine’s volleyball team suffered frustrations of sorts, like the basketball team, in 1974 but fared much better m the long run. Early in the season, the Waves indicated they would be a team to be reckoned with for the year when they knocked off defending NCAA champ San Diego State in three straight games. But Pep wasn't always on the winning side in the big ones. They finished the season 7-7, much to the chagrin of coaches Burt DeGroot and Harlan Cohen. Among their accomplishments, however, was a victory in the West Coast Warm-Ups in Santa Monica, one of the most prestigious tourneys in volleyball circles. They also finished second, behind eventual tournament and NCAA champion UCLA at the UC Santa Barbara annual collegiate gathering. The games played in the Fieldhouse really gave Pep the home-court advantage. The low ceiling and artificial floor were the main ingredients. Anxiously awaiting the start of the game.

He won the number three singles title in overpowering fashion, winning a total of 48 games in four straight set victories. He only lost one game.

The team compiled a 3-2-2 record in Southern California Open League play to finish third. Some impressive wins came over the more established teams of Long Beach State (4-1) and Cal State Northridge (8-0).

The program was organized by Dr. Morris Womack and John DeBross, forensics director at Pepperdine Malibu and USC respectively. Students competed for more than $20,000 in scholarships in a variety of areas from oral interpretation to team debate. In the field of foreign languages, Spanish, German and French were offered lending a cultural insight to those studying foreign communication. Students visited foreign restaurants and theaters to increase their vocabulary and cultural knowledge. Spanish worship services were begun on the Malibu campus.

This was the first time the choral concert w. s held at Pepperdine- Malibu. The Choral Ensemble is a select group chosen from the A Cappella Chorus. They have repertoire of basically secular music ranging from the Renaissance through present popular music. They represent the university by performing for civic organizations as well as various university functions. This year the group donned new costumes and added choreography and a 12-piecc orchestra to play arrangements of Ray Charles. Performances this spring included Magic Mountain, Disneyland and chapel assemblies. Oratorio Chorus, open to anyone of the university community, presented their fall concert in the newly constructed Stauffer Chapel. Equally as important the art department offers instruction in a variety of art forms. A seminar in jewelry enables students to create original accessories in silver, bronze and gold. The techniques of casting arid forging are also taught. This summer nine art students represented the university in Design West '74 at the California Museum of Science and Industry. Each student displayed one piece of work. This is the second year the Malibu campus has entered the showing. Twelve other universities, colleges and art schools in southern California participated in the event. Temporary art studios costing $40.000should be completed and ready for use during the fall trimester.Classes in pottery, sculpture and woodwork will be added to the curriculum and will be taught in the four different rooms of the temporary facility.

People can do the finest work in the social structure through a humanistic approach. Although it is the smallest discipline, the humanities division has expanded its concern to accommodate student needs. An increasing demand for pre-law studies on the Malibu campus resulted this year in the creation of a counseling program. Instituted during the winter trimester, the agency is under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Sale. The purpose of the service is twofold. First, it informs students of current developments in the field of law and, second, assists them in selecting appropriate courses for a career. In preparation for law school the agency encourages students to take a variety of courses, many of which are in the humanities. In addition to the pre-lav society, the division also applied for a Malibu chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, a national honor society for history majors. Those applying for membership must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and 18 hours of history credits. Activities this year included guest lecturers, historical movies and fieldtrips. The organization offers a fellowship of students with a common interest in history, Smythe said. It also provides an educational awareness of what this area has to offer in the way of historical landmarks. In terms of courses taught in the humanites division. Western Heritage continues to be the largest lecture class on the Malibu campus. According to Smythe. some 330 students enroll each trimester. Popular seminars included in the curriculum this year were history of literature and philosophy and history of the American Indian. During the spring trimester, the division sponsors The Coe Fellowship program. Some 100 teachers from throughout the United States attend. Students are also encouraged to participate in the three-week seminar. Tape recorders are familiar friends for students enrolled in Western Heritage. Natural Science The Firestone Field house saw its first year of use during '73 '74. The recently approved equestrian major has added a new dimension to the natural science division. This new study area will offer a bachelor's degree in equestrian education. It’s the only one we know of in the country, said James Wyllie. director of equestrian education. It's planned primarily for those interested in teaching riders and training horses. The program will meet the great demand for qualified instructors. The equestrian program also expanded to include a new 300 by 200 foot riding ring designed to give versatility for English and Western riding.

Its purpose is to provide an atmosphere conducive to Christian understanding for all students. Under the direction of Dr. Tony Ash, division chairperson, the department was active in coordinating a number of events and programs. A successful 14th Annual World Missions Workshop in October brought 2000 visitors from across the United States. The theme of the three day event was The Open Door. Lectures and seminars were planned around that theme. Many participants wore blue and white shirts printed with an open door. They were sold during the workshop. Another 1000 visitors were on campus in May for the 31st Annual Bible Lectureship. The four day event titled Simply Yes or No, Christian Integrity, was highlighted by the dedication of the Phillips Theme Tower. Ash called the Lectureship “a definite success. In June, Jan Howard and Sue Rice were among students who embarked upon a two year missionary internship approach in the SHARE program. This project W3S initiated by the Malibu Church of Christ and introduced on campus by Carl Mitchell. Expanding the principle of Christianity beyond the classroom, brought the founding of Manna. This spiritual newsletter was established during the winter trimester to inform students of Christian activities on the Malibu campus. The aims of Manna” according to editor Jan Howard were to improve communication and unite students. Written for and by students, the monthly publication described various types of Bible studies on campus. In addition to the popular lecture course, Jesus the Christ.” taught by Ash, several new classes were introduced this year. A seminar in Christianity furnished a Thumbnail study of what it means to believe in Jesus. Future in Religious Ethics probed the future shock syndrome in terms of Christian man. examining what is and isn't accepted in the technological age.

Under the direction of Dr. John Nicks, division chairperson, studies were expanded to include a new major in family life education. After three years in the planning stages the home economics program was instituted, featuring four emphasis of learning, Family Relations, Early Childhood Education, Home Economist in Business” and Home Economics in Secondary Schools. We offer a very interdivisional program because we feel so closely related to psychology, sociology and education, said Hazel Kuehn, associate professor of home economics. This program opens a variety of practical fields of home economics.” The new field, according to Kuehn. is designed to prepare a family life major for such occupations as counseling and social welfare. Along a similar vein, a course in food management v as added to the curriculum. To aid home economics majors and to enable them to learn by doing, Kuehn designed the family life l3b, installed this year. The room is equipped with kitchen appliances. Including a microwave oven. In the area of sociology. 20 students participated in the tutoring program Peppcrdinc began at Camp David Gonzales. Last year, the need for a tutoring program was discovered, but it wasn't until this fall that students organized. The group worked Tuesday through Thursday for two hours, covering the general areas of reading and math. One hour was used for formal instruction and the remaining hour for rapping. Sophomore, Murray Isaac, director of the tutorial work saw the benefits of the program as twofold: practical experience and personal gratification. Putting theory into practice, the political science department initiated a course in supervised fieldwork. The four unit course is a flexible program geared to the interests of each individual. Students may earn credit through practical work in a political party, campaign or internships in Sacramento 3nd Washington. Daily journals of activities and impressions were kept by each student. Other programs instituted in the social science division this year included a new major in Applied Behavioral Science, a class in behavior modification, also combining classroom and fieldwork instruction and the psychology club. PSI, a national honorary society for psychology majors. ttl School of Education This year the Pepperdine School of Education has been busy adjusting its curriculum to conform to the Ryan Act, which goes into effect this fall. Under the act, students wishing to go into teaching can not major solely in education, but must take either a liberal arts major if they want to teach elementary school, or any other academic specialty if they choose to go into secondary education. The school has been operating at the Los Angeles campus for many years, but the Malibu program was just accredited by the Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing this year. In addition to their major, students also must take the classes required under the five year credential program and do student teaching. There were 88 students working for their teaching credential by the end of the year. Some 20-25 Malibu students were student teaching in the Santa Monica and Las Virgcnes School district, according to Wyatt Jones, director of the teaching program at Malibu. We have a superior product.” is the reason Jones believes that the school has had such good success in placing graduates. There are positions open, but the market is still tight,” says Jones about the jobs available to new teachers. To insure that freshmen and sophomores have a sincere desire to become teachers and know what classes to take, Della Pack and Dr. Louise Thomas counsel students majoring in liberal arts. Jones directs those who want to teach in secondary schools. FACULTY Wyatt Jones (director) Della Pack Louise Thomas Sophomore Nicole Townsend does her student teaching duties. School of Business and Management “It’s been a year of beginnings.” according to Dr. Jere Yates, assistant dean of the Pepperdinc School of Business and Management. “The biggest problem the school encountered since offering classes at Malibu last fall, is letting people know that we’re here.” Even though the 91 undergraduates majoring in business administration made up nine per cent of the total wintci trimester enrollment, few students knew the difference between the business department and the Finance Office. “We often had people calling us wanting to pay their bills.” said Yates. The school is trying to increase its visibility on campus. During the year it invited lecturers such as Fritz Huntsinger Sr., chairman of the board of Vetco Offshore. Inc. to address students. The Malibu division of the school also hosted the World Monetary Conference held here May 23 to 25. The conference included such speakers as A. Paul Volcker, under secretary of the treasury and covered topics ranging from The Role of Gold to “Oil and the International Monetary System.” In addition to the speakers for the general student body, many people from the business community came to lecture to the individual business classes. Yates believes this gives business majors as much exposure to the real world as possible. Most of the business classes offered at Malibu were taught by instructors from the School of Business and Management, first organized as a separate school within Pepperdinc University in 1969 and is based in Los Angeles. Yates was the only full time business instructor at the Malibu campus last year, but he expects two or three more next year. He also expects to sec the school offer an M.A. in business within several years. FACULTY Elizabeth Lenchcs Ronald Lossett Jere Yates (assistant dean) The School of Business and Management emphasizes practical exf enence. � :t Administration One of the classic advantages of a private university, especially a small, private university, is the interaction of the administration with the activities and concerns of faculty and students. Pepperdine's central administrators Drs. M. Noivel Young, William S. Banowsky and Howard White live near and work out of offices on the Malibu campus. They are intricately involved with the interrelation of campuses in Malibu, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Heidelberg. But nearness to the Malibu community plays a key factor in campus communications and their accessibility adds greatly to the “credibility gap thought to always exist between students and everyone. Di. Jeriy Hudson, dean and provost, is in day-to-day touch with the physical and academic workings of the campus. To meet the demands from all areas of student, faculty and community needs, he spends long hours in committee meetings and conferences concerned with the intricacies of a new campus in an exclusive world-renowned community. The administration, working with major donors, faculty groups, community groups and student representives, arc attempting to identify and define the goals of a new university with a Christian phitosophy.innovativc curriculum, rising tuition and expanding needs. In an era when enrollments are declining and job markets arc tight, Pepperdine is continuing to grow, expand and attract students from around the world. « Dr. William Banowsky (above) applauds the Wave basketball team during their fall season.
