One day everyone else would figure out what RU students and faculty had known for a long time. RU is actually a place of higher education. Just as one could expect the leaves of the trees outside Heth to become vibrant with color every autumn, one could also expect to arrive in September to the sounds of trucks moving in equipment for renovation of old buildings or to begin new projects. No one really knows what kicked off the facelift of RU. possibly it was something small like lining the sidewalks with trees. Maybe it was something even less obvious; perhaps the rule that placed bulletin boards in the buildings so students couldn't post signs on the walls anymore. Whatever it was, it was the snowball that began an avalanche and President Dedmon deserves all the credit. Without him RU would still be just another place to go to school, not the excellent university it has turned into That’s a dorm?

As an adolescent, with everything becoming topsy-turvy, you remembered the past, but the future was surrounded by haze. Parents said, in that lecture tone of voice, not to worry because with age came stability Sure enough, continual growth brought a new kind of life into perspective: College. For the first time, you began to realize that stability meant being on your own, making decisions for yourself. Sounds rather contradictory9 In a way. it was But for four years, change seemed less and stability was within grasp. But at the end of those college years, once again you won't think so. But you must realize one thing. Stability will never mean consistancy because life is inconsistant. From those childhood days until the day you die, values will change, standards will change, friends will change, and you will change. Don't let these thoughts dissuade you from becoming all you strive to be Don't let them stop you from reaching for that extraormary spice of life, but rather, let stability grow with you. If you remember these college days and their influences, you can't help but to grow. O by Kristen M. Akam Study Break?

It sounds like something in the subconscience. It's very far away and vague. Now it's getting louder. BEEP ... BEEP ... BEEP! Gee. right in the middle of a great dream, too. Uh. oh. wake up! It's 8:03 a m and I'm late again $%! ! Rise and shine to another typical day at RU. After running around the room trying to become coherent and look like I didn't just roll out of bed. I throw on a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. I dash to class on the far side of campus, for which I am already 15 minutes late I suppose you would like to take this quiz? asks the professor; as I slip in. trying to look inconspicuous. Yes. I meekly reply, feeling queasy and unprepared, wishing I was back in that warm bed hitting the snooze button and hoping for five more minutes. The class seems to drag on and as the professor s lecture starts to mesh'. I try to concentrate, but in the remaining hour. I find myself doodling across the page, thinking about the upcoming weekend, or just dozing off. Oops! The girl next to me nudges my side, its time to go Thank goodness, that man can be so boring. I walk out into the crisp, damp air, caught between cloud bursts, and head back to the dorm to jump into a warm, steamy shower to wake myself up The usual bathroom backup is in full swing Since I am at the end of the line. I crawl back under the sheets to rest for a few minutes. It's a good thing my next class isn't until 12:30 or I'd never survive! Well, the neon numbers on the clock read 10:15. I guess I should become human. I jump into the shower to find lukewarm water (hey it's better than cold) and I stand there for ten. mesmerized by its constant relaxing pulse But I'd better pu it into gear or I'll get left behind for lunch Hurriedly and furiously, I blow dry my ha burn in some curls and line my eyes while trying to hide the dark circles. Why did I hurry over to the dining hat for this? Today is fishstick day Ugh' I wouldn't be so terrible if it didn't leave such an odor in the whole building. Those who didn't come to lunch will still know what was served if they come to dinner, guess I shouldn't complain (although usually do), at least food service offers the deli bar But a better suggestion would be to have that at dinner. The gang sits at their usual table and we talk about anything and everything, including this meal not worth mentioning, as we pick at the fish and try to hide it under a bottle of ketchup 008 Day in the Life Cf An RU Student After lunch I go over to the P.0 to move the dust around that has been building up in my cubbi hole I often wonder why the university even issued me a box Another disappointment, but at least I can pick up an issue of The Tartan to find out whose lives are more exciting than mine. A slow paced walk back to the dorm and it's almost time to head for class (Gee. the days feel so much longer on Tuesday and Thursday, than they do on Monday Wednesday, and Friday.) The only thing wrong with this class is that it interferes with Days of Our Lives . I'm always behind in my soaps because of classes What a drag Sitting m class. I count down 45 minutes ..30 minutes. 25 minutes ... 15 minutes .. at 10 minutes everyone starts to pack up their stuff The teacher says in a sarcastic tone. Has my watch stopped? I thought I had until 15 after. Of course we feel somewhat rude now. but who cares? Class is over! Not waiting around to ask questions about a project I really don't understand. I curtail it home to catch a quick catnap before Guiding Light. Every day. rain or shine, it is a ritual to hop across the hall where there is a color t v (black and white is out) and watch the Guiding Light with friends What is Reva's dilemma today? Where is Josh in all this? Why is Roxy crying? Has Johnny keeled over yet? Who is running around with whom now? Will they ever know the truth about Mara? Oh. how docs life go on?! Trying to catch the gossip as if it were true to life, between the commercials. is a dilemma in itself The evening is dedicated to bad habits of studying or deciding if I should go out instead Afterall. this stuff isn't due until next week or later After weighing the pros and cons and since it is raining. I'll stay in. I know I will procrastinate with my homework but I really can t afford to go out on the town So I promise myself I II be in bed early (ha-ha) The evening winds down with a little studying (not much) and The Cosby Show.

Cupid s invisible arrows flew through the air offering ro mance and mystique on February 14 for the fifth annual Junior Class Ring Dance. Juniors and their dates strolled down a long aisle of tall, gothic columns; the ruins of ancient Greece A small fountain of spurting water added to the illusion of Athens. This illusion seemed appropriate since a small fountain, in Greek times, represented a public gathering place We wanted a theme to tie in with Valentine's Day. We decided on Greek mythology since it symbolizes love and romance.'' said Tammy Robertson, a member of the Ring Dance committee Many people were expecting to see the traditional large paper mache ring as they entered the doors of Heth Ballroom, but Robertson said, It was old and in bad shape, so it wasn't included this year The ancient Greeks would have been disappointed because the sounds of the traditional Greek harpes were too slowpaced for the rock n-rollin' RU students. Instead, the band Casper provided tunes from the 50's. 60 s and today's popular hits. The students all seemed to agree the band was of high quality The brass section separated from the rest of the band for some of the songs. said Pam Miller, a senior who attended the Ring Dance If the ring committee had hired harpists, the idea would have been too corny. During the evening's events, juniors ex changed rings with their dates Each date received a soft kiss after that sentimental moment. Aphrodite d d not need to advise Cupid on which mortals to shoot. RU students figured it out themslves. The Ring Dance reminded me a lot of my high school prom,” said Tammy Brubaker, a senior who decorated and attended the dance. Many girls wore formal dresses and the guys wore tuxedoes. much like we did for high school functions. Flashbacks of high school proms prob ably went through the minds of many attending the Ring Dance because everyone could remember their night in Greece, by having their pictures taken. Decorative napkins and champagne glasses, engraved with the theme, were kept as memorabilia by the students. The only thing missing from the auspicious occasion was a chauffeured chariot service, but the special evening of romancing and dancing seemed quite complete even without it. Some people went as friends instead of dates, but the evening still seemed romantic ... even with your best friend, said Miller.

When asked, responses ranged from, I don't know. to Oh, that's when everyone goes to Washington, D C. to party?' What the title actually meant was an Evening in the Dedmon Center, where RU students and guests dress in semi-formal attire 1o gamble and dance the night away I he festival featured music, live performances, games, and other areas of entertainment Last year, the theme was “The Jamacian Reggae f estival Student Life decorated the Dedmon Center in a tropical setting with palm trees and grass huts to set the mood. As students entered the Dedmon doors, they were hand ed $5,000 in play money. Students could try their luck at various casino games like blackjack, poker, and roulette The money could also be used to purchase raffle tickets. Heather Bell, a junior political science major, won a beach cruiser with $10,000 in raffle tickets. The bike was donated by the New Wheel in downtown Radford. I won the bike! I won the bike! screamed Bell to her roommate MaryBeth Salmon. Bell was so excited, she walked home from the Dedmon Center to get her car. so she could bring the bike home that night Another student left the festival a lucky winner Trevor Williams, a freshman fashion merchandising major, collected a prize. I never won anything in my life, said Williams. This is the neatest idea — the whole thing about gambling and pla money. To carry the theme further, Awareness Art Ensemble. a reggae band from Rictv mond. made a special appearance. Stir dents danced and watched as the banc played for nearly two hours. Students were able to enjoy the sounds of Jamacian music while they sipped on mocktail drinks and visited other vendor boothes A photographer took Island photos with a tropical background Dei Siler, a graduate art student, sketched caricatures for the crowd, as old episodes of Gilligan's Island played in a minitheatre.

Many hours of planning and organizing went into making the event a success Evening in D.C was the best ever and it was very rewarding and challenging to be apart of this event. said Kathy Wilson, also of Student Life.

Another Eegun Name after name after name Each (soon-not-to-be) student waited for his or her name to be called as the largest graduating class in RU's history participated in commencement ceremonies on May 9th. Finally, after the last student received h'S diploma and a short prayer hushed the crowd, the caps went flying and these adults were no longer students. They were graduates. For some, it meant moving onto jobs they had secured in the real world For others, it meant looking for jobs in the real world. For still others, it meant continuing on to graduate school, either at RU or elsewhere And for a few more, graduation meant returning to RU for summer school to finish up one or two more classes so they could officially be called graduates. Whatever the scenerio was all had walked. and each new graduate had reason to celebrate For the class of 1987, this day brought an end to an era. For the previous four (five or six) years, all had put forth their efforts to reach this simple moment of peace. From the day they first arrived at RU as freshmen or transfers, to the day they were able to give mom and dad a hug saying, I did it! , the trials and tribulations of being a college student had paid off. Graduation was special because it was the chance to end a chapter with the people who began it: those closest to students over the past four years. It felt great to be able to receive my diploma after all the time and effort I had put into it. said Sherri lachetta. a grad uate from Charlottesville. It was gratifying to see the end result of all that hard work. When this class arrived in September 1983 (or earlier for some), little did they realize the importance of their academic and social years ahead They were the last class attending RU on the tri-quarter system instead of the present semester system How strange it would seem to graduate with 126.33 credits hours. What was .33 of a credit anyway? This same class was the first to have freshman car privileges, but they were also instructed to park at the Dedmon Center lower level, a popular flood zone. This class of 1987 witnessed RU growing by over 1000 students Never before had freshmen been tripplcd. The most thrilling of significant changes during this now closed chapter was the leap from Division II to Division I sports. The Dedmon Center was always packed with fans when RU played the arch-rival and rational champion University of DC. There has been much to reminisce from past years, but now the time has come to make new memories. Radford has meant so much to me. said lachetta. summing up the feelings of many graduates But I can t wait until 1989 to walk' again and receive my mas ter's degree It's a very special feeling O by Pete Guldseth Graduation 015 TEACHER, TEACHER Can you Teach Me? Warm, breezy nights, a carefree atmosphere, and a wide variety of courses were just a few of the things that made summer school at RU special , and last summer was no exception. Less than 2000 students attended each session, taking courses to complete general education. electives, and core requirements. The long, sun-filled days and the laid-back attitude of all. allowed students time to concentrate on their classes, and yet still have time for play. Riding bikes barefooted. tubing on the New River, and hanging out at the city pool, were just a few of the many ways students enjoyed the summer school experience. For students trying to catch up in school or pull up their GPA's. it was a welcome change from the demanding pace of the regular schoolyear. The best part of summer school was the classes were condensed, so it made for a real easy boost to your GPA. said Karen Krayeski, a senior education major. Although students could take summer courses at colleges near their hometowns that would transfer for credit, many chose to stay in Radford for several reasons. Courses needed in majors only taught at RU forced some to spend their summer here. Other students stayed in Radford because they had to pay rent on an apartment during the summer months, so they decided to make the best of the situation and attend classes too. For them, attending summer school was the best option. Those who didn't have financial obligations to work entirely through the summer attended summer school for a relaxed, easy going experience. “You could go to the first session, be finished by the end of June, and still have all of July and August to go home and make money, said Patrice Biagi, a junior interior design major. It was like a minivacation before starting the grind of a fulltime summer job. The friendly atmosphere and small student population helped create bonds of friendship between the 1.500 summer school students There was an element of closeness you didn't feel during the fall and spring semesters, said Chris Higham. a junior public relations major. The cliques disappeared and everyone was just them- selves. The average course load during the summer was six to nine hours, compared to the 12-18 for the official academic year. While most classes were held everyday, as opposed to two and three times a week, students had only two or three subjects to concentrate on at a time, and generally tended to receive higher marks that during the regular semesters. In contrast to the futuristic philosophy behind the university, last summer also provided a journey into the past. Elderhostel, a program designed to draw people over 60 back to school was held at RU for the first time. Courses were offered in music, health care, and history. 38 students stayed in Norwood's newly-renovated Summer (continued next page) While RU students were hard at work and at play, the campus played host to a series of events. Students-to be made the transition from high school to college at Quest '87 The summer orientation program for incoming freshmen and their par ents was held in five two-day sessions It included campus tours, scheduling for fall classes, and a welcome address from President Donald Dedmon.

Over one hundred highschool students, gifted in dance, theatre music, and visual arts had an opportunity to challenge and develop their skills under the guidance of established artists and performers. The program was directed by Bennett Lcntczncr, Dean of RU's College of Visual and Performing Arts. Athletes, as well as artists, visited the campus as RU hosted several soccer, gymnastics, and basketball camps. The prestigious Five-Star Basketball Camp from June 10-17 and June 16-21. held sessions at RU for the third time, attract ing record attendences The well known camp featured guest speaker Ralph Sampson of the Houston Rockets, whose sister recently completed a successful basketball and academic career at RU. And so, as the dogdays of a Radford summer slid by, the RU campus provided a breeding ground for knowledge and growth in many ways, for many people. Most important, however, was the oppor tunity given to RU students, not only to catch up and get ahead, but to share and learn. Summing up the feelings of many, Krayeski said. If I could make all the time I’ve spent in school summer, I would.

These superstitions used to prevail during the scary days before and on Hal loween Halloween meant dressing up as something silly, like a mummy, a goblin, the Grim Reaper, or a wicked witch. It meant jack-o-lanterns. ghost stories, and the howling winds or a full moon (but only sometimes). It also meant trick or-treat; usually more treats than tricks. But as we grew out of those childish beliefs, Halloween took on a new meaning Halloween meant a time to go out and enjoy friends' company. said junior Debra Hunley We could act silly by dressing up. but we didn't participate in that kid stuff trick-or-treating. At RU. Halloween brought the annual campus Halloween Bash sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Sigma Alpha. Rut this year, something seemed peculiar and definitely out of sync. It started with the weather. Indian summer arrived a month early; it was too warm for the festivities as Halloween usu ally opened the winter holiday season The party just didn't feel right. The party date was all wrong too. Halloween fell on a Saturday, but the bash was scheduled for Hallow's Eve. the Friday before. The heart of the festivities just wasn't prevelant and an air of apathy bewitched campus as if a spell had been cast at RU. The decor of the bash hadn't varied much from past years, but the caged spider that normally loomed over the steps of Heth was not invited to this strange evening of taped howls and scary cries There was a twist to this bash which haerv't occured at previous bashes; no mes, no sell-out crowds, no nothing. Was it an indication that students were tired of endless lines and fighting their way through mobbed crowds? No. of course not. because they still do at the local drinking establishments Maybe it was the competition of parties at these establishments. No. it was the spel of apathy After a few years, the bash didn't have the same meaning to the same students who attended Students would rather have dressed up and gone to parties at dorm rooms or apartments A lot of time and effort wasted on advertising and setup ... all for a disappointing few thousand — no record breaking attendances this year. Halloween did exist at RU. but it was where it was least expected At about midnight, when Halloween had truly descended on Radford, a block party between Trinkle Dorm and the Alpha Sigma Phi house had developed It was not out-of-control: about 400 people just gathered mysteriously, and without cause or justification. It was as if, at precisely the same time, all of RU lacked some sense of inner balance or equilibrium. Everybody was having a good time. said junior Michelle Maxey. They just let down who they were during the week; greek, square', or otherwise, and didn't worry about anything. This unusual gathering was definitely a party in itself. It was the climax of the night as more people showed up in costume than were found around campus all evening long. The Noid and a Domino's pizza delivery man had it out. while two black cats, a Christmas tree and Dracula cheered on. A clown stood down the road with two mimes and Bartles and Jaymes The 50s came to life with Peggy Sue. Sandra Dee. and some Greasers Even a bunch of California raisins attended. But a cast of characters crashed this spontaneous party. The cast included three campus police and two Radford city police It was getting late and the traffic was congested as if a concert had just let out. so the police had to break up the evening No one seemed agitated by their presence. but breaking up one huge mass of people wasn't that easy From watching on the front steps c Trinkle. said freshman Shannon Lynn, looked as if the entire (mass of peopv just migrated down to the end of th street before breaking up. It was re strange ” So. the bash was a disappointment I most who attended, but the after-te? surprise made up for it.

The long lines began the first day of freshman year, and didn't end until that long-awaited day in the graduation processional line. Believe it or not, there was a line for every event and occasion Hungry? Waited in line. Needed to buy a book? Waited in line. Registration? More waiting. Needed to drop add a course? A conflict in scheduling? The lines rolled on. The lines seemed endless, unorganized, and definitely intolerable. As a matter of fact, during the drop add season, a student had to wait in line at the chairman’s door, in order to get a number to wait in another line later in the day Silly, but true Sandi Durkee, a sophomore business major, felt that registration for fall classes was nothing short of torture. I found registration to be very ineffecient. I sat and stood in line for five hours. Durkee said Social security numbers were ig- nored so the schedule outlined in terms of times weren't even relevant. Apparently, with the ever increasing population of the university, a 6.14 percent enrollment increase over 1986 87 fig ures, waiting in long lines became a frequently voiced criticism of RU's growth spurt. RU boasted 8,122 students, 7.270 of which were undergraduates. Can a university the size of Radford accomodate such a strain on its facilities? Julie Englen, a junior from Springfield, didn't think the university adequately met student needs with the rapid enrollment increase. The university grew so fast, we needed to put a crunch on incoming students, said Englen.1 We needed to build upon what we've got before the school increased anymore. Even though registration lines couldn't be blamed for the high number of drop add transactions, the method used at RU was virtually obsolete. Several universities throughout Virginia, such as Vir gima Tech and JMU, used computerized methods for registration as well as drop add so the process was more efficient and less time consuming. Nonetheless, students did have several suggestions for next fall's registrar maddness. One student suggested te ing several different registration locatky or at least, creating a more realistic tr schedule.

A Touch of dome About 90 percent of all college students lived in a dorm sometime during their college career. Campus living was something everyone locked forward to. for a variety of reasons, when they came to college The most important reason had to do with having freedom from the ‘rents. This year, dorm life was very cramped as nearly every freshman found his home away from home tripled Six people shar mg a suite meant an increase in RU s enrollment as well as an increase in patience. Patience was a necessary prerequisite when it came to sharing a bathroom, sharing closet and drawer space, and sharing wall and floor space Innovated use of lofts and university-supplied furniture allowed each room a more individualized touch. The A-frame and freestanding lofts, along with the typical single lofts were very popular this year Lofts provided the added feature of opening up the floor for other furniture, such as couches, fold-out chairs, and the ever popular entertainment center. Most rooms were not thought to be completely furnished with out a television, stereo, refrigerator, and a phone The drab colored walls were cov- ered with an assortment of posters; pic tures of home, family and friends, flags and tie-dyed tapestries or sheets. The cold, drafty floors were hidden beneath throw rugs or wall to wall carpeting, and plants or fish brought a brighter perspective to that ' look of home. Some students even tried to keep larger pets, like puppies and kittens, in their already filled dorm space. “We had a cat at the beginning of fall semester, but with two other people in the room, it got to be a hassle because it was always knocking stuff over, getting it and me into trouble. said freshmen Shannon Welch. “It's hard to keep a pet in the room, especially an illegal one, when you don't really know what to expect from your roommates The whole living thing starts to grate on everyone's nerves.'' The campus offered a variety of residence hails for students to live in. Each building had a unique living environment. Bolling. Floyd. Tyler, and Muse 10-13 housed only freshmen, which allowed for growth and excitement of first year away at school to run their lives ragged. Females wanting to live without males in thcir building had the choice of Washington, Pocahantas or Stuart Many who chose these buiidings liked the privacy and for the most part, were quieter than co-ed buildings Upperclassmen who returned on cam pus found there were two more dorms that offered co-ed living arrangements be tween the floors Perry went coed by suite and Draper, by sides of fhe hall This arrangement allowed for a different type of male-female relationship to develop, that of a big brother and little sister or vice versa. For those wanting to develop their social life even more. Madison.

Norwood may have been nice, but many students overlooked the fact that wc had to pay extra to live there, too. said junior Susie Ritenour Along with each building s different lifestyle, some buildings offered a differ ent design in living. First floor of all build ings had the highest ceilings of all floors, but first floor Muse towered over all. with the highest ceilings on campus Tyler Hall was quite unique from all other buildings with an entirely different floor room de sign The doors of Tyler's quarters pro vided a vent and the room layout did not have a hallway leading into the rooms, like all other dorms As buildings differed in lifestyles and design, it did not come to life without the individual touch of each resident. They turned their “dreary old room of mine into a home Each room took on its own personality which came from those who lived there Each resident gave his or her touch to help make their stay on campus as comfortable as possible . .. these fea tures helped to make RU's dorm life a home away from home.

Tom the Dorf Dorfmeister. and Dennis the Menace O'Connell, had the audience mating with laughter, on November 4th, with their “just a little risque routine After a late start, Anton opened the show with a general explanation of events and a few wisecracks toward the audience. He brought the show to a more personal level by inviting one audience member on stage to help hime in the invisible card trick By making a mockery ol Susan.' Anton had the audience participating m his favorite noise; laughter. Anton continued his one-man stand-up routine with real visual effects. He began by Higgling plastic balls, and then bowling p;ns. He unsuccessfully juggled pins tossed at him. but he accomplished his goal of making everyone laugh. Afterward Anton showed his musical talent by strumming his guitar and sing ng his own variations of popular tunes The Go Gos' We Got the Beat became We Got VD He also did his favorite, a repeat Fom last year ‘The Boring Song.

He called himself tnat because he was well over 100 lbs ... twice The majority of Do-fmeister's material entailed one-liners. By the time Dorfmeister finished his string of jokes, skits and visual effects, the stage looked like a menagerie of childish toys, or as Dorfmeister put it. a K-Mart explosion Anton came back into the spotlight to introduce O'Connell for the fast eg of tfte first hour. O'Connell, a cross look alike between Jay Leno and the late Marty Feldman, appeared on stage with an old six-string guitar Standing 5'2 . he barely reached the microphone that the 6'4 Anton left raised for him Just another stage prop to make the audience chuckle O'Connell performed an old America tune.

Fall 87 enrollment reached a record high of more than 8.000. with just less than one half living in the already non-spacious rooms. Of the 15 dorm halls. 479 rooms were tripled But students didn't flee off campus just be cause of the overcrowdedness, they vacated to have that feeling of responsibility. peace, and most of all. absence of resident assistants.

Shrieks, screams and irregular body movements made the event look like a disaster waiting to happen. But, that's rock n' roll It was what any concert-attending tune head would hope for. Four guitar players jamming into such songs as Kick , and Devil Inside”. There were white clouds of smoke that took the crowd by suprise. The fans and their reactions were always visible to the players with two huge spot lights hitting them at all times. As the hit Listen like Thieves filled the center, all heads moved in sync and the bleachers began to vibrate with the mention of each syllable. Each time that certain bass note was hit, the crowd went crazy as if they were being allowed to let every inch of themselves go free The lights flickered with a beat resembling a shell bombing and a purple shad ow filled the place, completely representative of the song •‘Mystify . Two speakers towered over the audience and helped in creating an energy that threatened to burst the air-supported roof of the Dedmon Center. The main guitar man hit the floor in motion of the whole scene When the big songs roared through the center it reminded one of the ad for maxcll tapes where the guy's hair blows because the sound is so real. Everyone took a step back in awe. And then the crowd rushed forward, hands clapping to the sound of Don't Change and What You Need. Then came the finale.

The interpretation centered around the lover s plot of the play, and fhe characters were teenagers enrolled at a parochial school. Since there were only nine mem bers of the troupe they also used hand puppet shadows cast upon screens, which doubled as emotional barriers between the students. The troupe incorpo rated the use of shadow puppets by Lynn Jefferies, an expert puppeteer. The lover's scene was updated and brought out o Shakespearean times so as not to bore the audience. When the audience goes. ’This is Shakespeare I don't understand it. I'm bored I'm not going to watch it.' that's the moment that we really try to avoid all the costs. said Carey. There was only one problem that the audience found bothersome The light shining on the screen to cast shadows was also glared in the audience members' eyes The troupe did not realize this problem in rehearsal. There was something about the angle. said Theater director Bill Rauch The stage manager tried to pull it (the lights) in to have it not hit the people as much.

To upperclassmen, it was a v eicome back to school; a gathering of old friends with a chance to meet new ones, but to new students being initiated into college life, the concepl of the party was. in a word, awesome. The party had gamed such a following that many people, other than RU stu dents, attended it I never real-zed what I missed out on at VMI. until I came to the 'Beginning of the World . said Keith Kornegay. a sophomore at VMI I can't believe you do the weekends up like that all the time Other avid World fans said they had a really good time, but they couldn't re member much and left it with no comment Just one more bit of proof that the Beginning of the World lived up to its name and reputation No comment was a common comment This year a record 2.0C0 came out to experience the bi-annual event.

Finding a place to park was a problem for vehicle owners The number of registered cars vastly outnumbered the amount of parking. With the number of cars versus number of parking spaces, the police constantly gave tickets to both students and professors who ignored posted signs There were a few changes made in parking during the 1987-88 school year. The construction of new Greek houses occupied two of the largest lots on the Moffett side of campus; a commuter parking lot and an upperclassmen lot With the addition of new faculty positions this year, more spaces were given to them, thus taking more away from students “It was already impossible enough to find a spot last year, but to come back this year and find even less parking available really made a lot of peo pie quite angry. said senior Kristen Akam They (the university) should have kept having a car strictly an up-perclass priviledge. Maybe then, we wouldn’t have this mess now One result of the decrease in parking availably this year was that sophomores had to park at the Dedmon Center right along side the Freshmen It really ticked me off, said Kim Byers, a sophomore from Williams burg. It was such a pain to have to park at the Dedmon Center again. I think they should have built the new Greek houses down there instead of a parking lot. Funds were allocated for the construction of a new lot between the Dedmon Center and the railroad tracks The new lot was to be com pleted by fall 1988 with 750-800 spaces for both students and faculty.

When that hectic May day hit. you know the one everyone dreaded, students discovered how much stuff' they had accumulated during the course of one. two. three and all four years. (George Carlin was right.) When it came time to put it all in the car. that was when I realized I was in trouble. said senior Leslie Shapiro If it took you one car load to move in, chances were, it took you two car loads to move it all out. Many students found that after moving everytnmg out, taking it all the way home; that is somewhere between Roanoke and New Jersey, just to bring it all the ‘way back again three months later, just wasn't worth the trouble. Most parents agreed After moving me in and out my freshman year, said Heather Bell, my par ents vowed never to do it again. For the most part, the majority of parents had patience, but between moving the overweight boxes, the furniture, and the refrigerator, they lost their sanity.

She just doesn't want to walk up and down the stairs 20 times . My father told me I could only bring down one more load — no more, said senior Cindy Horsboll Keep in mind, we had only been packing for 15 minutes. There were choices as to what you could do with all your worldly possessions' during the summer. Even though it meant shelling out the bucks, mini storage places began to look appealing.

Students came to RU from different places with varying lifestyles, but everyone had one goal in mind achieving academic knowledge. With the growing number of students attending Radford, the classroom sizes still remained quite small, allowing students to freely ask questions, get to know their professors better, and made it easier to learn more Some students stayed up late at night, others put in long hours during the day, while still others did both trying to perfect their work in order to make something of themselves. Whether they studied inside their rooms, in the library, or even took advantage of the late summer weather and did their work outside under the warmth of the sun. it did not matter too much, just as long as their work got done. HU was growing fast and because there were so many applicants to the university, selecting better students to at tend RU was made possible. Once again.

Dedrnon has jbeen chosen by the Board of Visitors as the fourth pres idem of Radford College.” wrote outgoing President Charles Knox Martin in January. 1972, in an official announcement, and this academic year marked the fifteenth anniversary of Dedmon's presidency and fifteen years of growlh unprecedented in the school's history When he first came to the campus of Radford College. Dedrnon said he was shocked I came in with a great deal of naivete, lack of information. he said in an interview last November When I got here. I began to discover the realities. Dedrnon. who thought at first being president of a women s college would be charming , soon found that a public institution that admitted only women offended his ethics. That is why. in 1972. Radford College became co educational But the early Dedrnon administration faced even bigger problems. I-acuity morale was extremely low. students were alienated, and enrollment was decreasing. he said. I was really frightened for the institution. It needed a turn around, and it needed it rapidly. Dedrnon pointed out that Radford made its own changes Nevertheless, he began to fight the apathy and negativism he saw using the anilities of people al ready associated with Radford, using the inside approach as he called it. There was a great deal of talent under my nose. he said I was able to ride on their coattails Some things that 15 years of riding on coattails' has done for RU are: — When Dedrnon arrived in 1972. total student enrollment stood at 3.600. f ifteen years later it had more than doubled, reaching 8.122. — Of the 3.600 students at Radford College in 1972. only 72 were male. RU male enrollment in the rall was 2.973 — Icday. RU has 423 professors and instructors It had 253 15 years ago — The athletic program was in poor shape in 1972. struggling with little sup port Today. 261 student athletes com pete in 15 NCAA Division I sports — In 1972. Russell Hall stood empty and deteriorating Now. after a $2 8 million renovation, it houses 108 faculty and staff in 74 offices. 11 classrooms. 2 conference rooms, and observation labs for the do partment of psychology and the College of education and Human Development It also houses the campus police department. — In the Fall, construction began on a new $2.3 million academic building that will house 48 faculty and staff offices, a 70-seat lecture hall. 7 classrooms. 3 lab oratories, and 10 other areas for the School of Nursing and the departments of communication sciences and disorders, computer science, and economics The building, which will connect McGuffcy and Young Halls, will also be headquarters for the university's Speech and Hearing Clinics and will contain 30 rooms for clinical use. When Dedrnon talked about the growth that RU has experienced, there was one fact that he really enjoyed pointing out In 1987, RU declined more applicants than were accepted in 1972.’' he said That is exciting. Dedrnon quickly pointed out that RU as a whole was partial to growing, unafraid of change, and it has the good sense to capitalize on the right circumstances. I walked into the office one day and said it was time to change the name of Radford College to Radford University. Dedrnon said Fven in 1978. the changes already ex perienced by the institution were impressive. In the six years Dedrnon had served as President, the number of applicants for admission had increased from 1,826 stu dents in 1972 to 3.991 in 1978. total en rollmenl had grown almost 55 percent; and the size of the campus had almost doubled with the donation of 64 acres that would later become the Dedrnon Center Sports Complex The timing was perfect. said Dedrnon. and the others agreed All in all. 79 percent of the student body. 94 percent of the incoming freshmen. 67 per cent of the faculty, and 82 percent of the alumni approved the status change And eventually, so did the Virginia General Assembly. Despite his success in 15 years of presidency, Dedrnon said it was not a per- sonal goal ol his to be presiden: institution I had no definite game pic my career, except that I want to : teacher admittedly, a very good or that, but one position just led loan: and so on Born in 1931 m Mansfield.

Financial aid used to be a way tor students to pay their way through school, but now m addition to that idea, it's also a way for students to get some extra spending cash. Students needn't be on financial aid to work on campus But all must apply, and then are selected as positions become available One such job is catering Working for the catering service can be difficult, but it can also be fun. They don't work regular hours, like student assistants or regular dining hall workers, because they only work when there's a special event going on around campus The Catering Service, as they call themselves and for which they are recognized on campus, isn't part of the regular food service on campus These people are called upon to work special functions or events on campus such as Senior Brunch, special luncheons in the Radford Room of Heth, receptions at the Dedmon Center or the art gallery, and even special catered dinners at Dr. Dedmon's home The job entails a great deal of preparation: everything from dressing the clothed tables to making sure the patrons are happy with their meal. 3ut even with the time involved, there are benefits, as with any job We are responsible for making the dining area look perfect. said senior Kristen Akam That means everything from lining the lanterns symetrically to making sure each lemon wedge is placed at 3 00 on the ice tea glass. But there is one good thing We get to eat the same good food as those being served. The atmosphere is that of a high class resturant. For meals serving small numbers or those held in the Radford Room, they serve the entire meal to the guests. When a dinner is served to more than 50 people it is usually set up buffet style. The tables are even set up differently than in the dining hall. They are covered with tablecloths and even cloth napkins. The entrees vary according to the request of the organization holding holding the affair The catering service isn't only for visitors Students are offered many chances throughout the year to be served in style.

Keeping the greenhouse in excellent condition consumed a considerable amount o( two RU students' time this past school year Patrick Ga,dys. a physical science major with a geography ana ge ology minor, and Davd Pond a senior Oology major with a chemistry minor were the two students who were put in total charge of RU's greenhouse and were responsible (or maintaining it seven days a week throughout the year Several responsibilities were taken on by both Patrick and David, including watering, extermination of unwanted foliage propagating and continuation of wanted foliage, repotting, fertilizing, and labeling of plants according to their genus and species. They also kept a constant watch on all of the plants throughout the year making sure they remained healthy. When a plant got too big. it was cut back and sometimes new plants were started from the cut pieces, but usually, the cut pieces were discarded. David said. We try to find homes for them, but it's not always easy. The breed of a plant never died be cause cuttings were taken from all the plants for example, the Pleomele Heflexa from Madagascar. Mauritius, and India was a very rare plant in the greenhouse in which several cuts had been made from it for greenhouse purposes. Anolher responsibility included the maintenance of three rooms at three different climatic conditions similar to a tropical rain forest region, a subtropical region. and a mid-latitude region. There was a wide variety of plants in the different rooms, ranging from cactuses to water ferns to banana trees to a full range of common temperate plants. Radford received Ihe many different plants from a number of places Many of the plants were sent to RU from other greenhouses Some of fhe plants came from longwood Gardens in Philadelphia, William and Mary's greenhouse, the Biological Supply Companies, and some plant cuttings were donated by individual plant collectors The long hours spent in the greennouse weren't always serious As David recalled, Catching an occasional fench or sparrow that flew in the greenhouse helped add some excitement to the job He said it's not unusual for a bird to fiy in and feel at home among the many beautiful plants Patrick and David basically made the decisions on what to do in the greenhouse and which trees to cut pack if they got too big. however the two were guided by experienced biology professors. Occasionally, a professor would leave a note with instructions on what and or how to do something for either Patrick or David to follow A special feature of the greenhouse was the moat, which contained goldfish and was surrounded by many exotic and beautiful plants. RU's gieenhouse was in a good location because according to Patrick. The New River Valley is second only to a tropical ram forest in diversity and a wide range of plants The view inside was breathtaking, and it's unfortunate that more people didn't take advantage of it and what it had to offer For those RU students, faculty, and visiting guests that visited the greenhouse, it was well worth it. and for those who didn't, what else can one say except — they missed out' by Gina Lupino Academics 067 ddchoo( of r j and cienceS Biology Department: (How one) .tike Frskme.

(lourl-hhe -At mo Ap here 9n political Science CtaSA ince 1985. Radford University has been quite proud of its dis- J tmguished visiting professor program. This year RU continued this tradition with a political science class taught by the Honorable Justice A. Goldberg. Although Goldberg denies the class was set up as a mini-court, that is exactly how it appeared to the students. Each group of two v as given a case to be heard in the Supreme Court this session and had to argue it before a mock jury. Nobody knew what to expect from the class, not even Goldberg It was one of those classes in which you get out only what you put in At one point, Goldberg even informed his class that he was orig inally discouraged at the thought of teaching undergraduates But the class proved they were just as capable as law students. For graduate student Elliot Evans, the opportunity to take this class was enough to get him to change his graduate school plans. Instead of attending another school for his Masters Degree, he opted to remain at RU for at least another year. For Evans, the best part of the class took place outside the classroom. Every week he (Goldberg) was here, the school held a luncheon in the Virginia Room. Everyone in attendance was able lo a;-any question to this wise man. Quest::' ranged from the Bay of Pigs to Gcldber: personal opinion on the Hart Rice dent or the current Reagan Supre-Court nominations. It was interesting to find out wtiatsu a knowledgeable person would think these incidents,' said Evans Occas ally when Goldberg had an opinion r was controversial, he would say now is just to be kept in the family. Some students were also given the cc portunity to see Goldberg in an infer; social setting He invited his stuce' over for pizza, beer, and Monday no-football. I was surprised to find out N just like anyone else. said Evans. The students also took a tour of Supreme Court Some were a little d: appointed because Goldberg could' give them a personal tour, but it wasa‘ day anyway. said Evans. The class met one more time in I spring semester to find out the outer of the cases they argued in class.

I'd like to see twice that many. RU's nine year old program provided colege trained officers for the U S. Army, the National Guard, and the U S Army Reserve Those RU students you saw walking across the campus in military dress throughout the schoo year were part of a program thaf was one of only four Army ROTC programs in the VA. MD. Delaware, and Washington. D C area that's growing faster than the national average According to Morgan, the reason for the growth was the increasing popularity of RU as a whole. He attributed the popularity to the strength of the many academic departments Radford is attracting more students and selecting better students. he said He added that because many of the students were career oriented. ROTC helps them to decide on a career or enables them to get experience that could possibly secure a |ob after completing the program ” Morgan said. ROTC is a supplemcn tary course of instruction that a student takes in addition to his or her normal academics. It's tough ara demanding, but it has great rewards. RU students enmitcd in the program received training in management and leadership, as well as organizational and planning skills. The four-year program consisted of a two-year Basic Course and a two-year Advanced Course. Each semester, the freshman and sophmore students enrolled in a one hour class and a one hour lab, and the junior and senior students enrolled in a three hour class and a one hour lab. in addition to their other classes The Basic Course was taken during the freshman and sophmore years Course work covered management principles: na- tional defense; military history, leadership development, and military courtesy, discipline. and customs The Basic Course imposed no military obligation on the students. and they may have withdrawn from the program at any time. The Advanced Course provided instruction in further leadership development. organization and management, tactics. and administration Those students who enrolled in the Advanced part of the program had to have a 2 0 GPA. make a commitment to the Army, and the ROTC program had to 'want them in the program The one hour lab included the outdoor activities such as marching, tactical skills (first aid), and basic drills that couldn't be properly taught in an in-classroom situation. Academics are given first priority. Morgan said I tel my cadets that they came to the university to get an education. not a major in ROTC.” said Morgan. The higher their grade point average, the more doors will be open to them, not only in the Army, but in the civilian job market as well. he said. Weekend activities were also a part of the ROTC program but were only mandatory for the |uniors and seniors Plus, there was also morning physical conditioning three days a week during the Fall semester These activities, such as running. aerobics, and swimming, switched off periodically Extracurricular activities were also a big part of fhe ROTC program Some of the activities included repelling clinics, a can food drive at Christmas, leading the Radford City parade, and the Color Gaurd performing at the basketball games. This year was the first year that RU's ROTC program fielded a Ranger Challenge team The team competed against other schools with ROIC programs in the VA. MD. and Delaware area in mountaineering, patrolling, tactics, marksmanship, and map reading. This year, they placed twenty-second in the com- petition and were quite happy with therr selves. About one-third of each class wa made up of females, and Rebecc Manger, a junior German major, was RU' first woman ROTC caaet battalion corr mander. Morgan selected Manger baser on camp evaluations, personality, and Re becca s 3.6 grade point average Morgai said. Grades are a big factor in my de ciS'on.

David Horton, co-producer, speech 346 class and; advanced tele vision and oroadcast news classes Their ideas came together to produce, hope fully, a successful news program, not only for the students of RU but for the community as well. For the students involved. Angle 28 provided the experience needed for fu- ture programs and professional jobs Angle 28 was not a class project; it was to be a professionally written and produced news broadcast to be done outside of class Not only did the students involved have to worry about the writing and production of Radford's first news show, but there was setting, design, backdrop, story lengths, and air time to add to a successful production Some forty students came out to au dition for the role of anchorperson in No vember The chosen anchorperson was responsible for presenting the filmed stories and other news written and produced by the many other reporters.

It was meant ’10 show and sell artwork She also stated that the art gallery was developed to enhance the cultural awareness of Radford and present new artistic innovations Kessler has been an instructor of art classes at RU for the past two years. In 1983. she achieved her master of fine arts degree and currently ran the gallery. An other aspect of the curator's job was to decide on the pieces of art to be hung in the academic buildings of RU as well as in the various shows throughout the academic year RU's art shows emphasized the hard work of the artists There was a special Alumni and student art show held on October 9th for Homecoming weekend The media included watercolor. oil and charcoal to name a few. Although some of the works were not for sale and others did not have a definite price, prices ranged from about twenty five to five hundred dollars. This was the first exhibit for RU student. Maureen Hegarty It's like revealing a part of yourself. she said Most artists put so much work into their art or they draw a person close to them that they decided not to sell because of sentimental reasons It was impressive to see so many RU students who had work displayed in the show. The post RU students. the Alumnus had just as many pieces of art displayed in the gallery Jean Moyers, an alumna from 1961. had a mixed media work titled Home Place exhibited in the show The alumnus were taken down memory lane as they came back for a visit to the RU campus Since the opening of the gallery in 1985. the Alumnus were pleased to see RU progressing with the times. RU's Flossie Martin Art Gallery also provided a place for guest speakers to give lectures Maxine Kumin. a Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry reading spoke on October 7th According to Kessler, over one hundred and fifty people showed up to hear Maxine Kumin. Other events included a glass fusion demonstration and a lecture on African art. held on November 6th. The art gallery was one of the finer additions made to RU. It's a place to bring people together from different cultures and learn more about others. Displays of ceramics, photographs, prints, watercol ors. oil paintings, and jewelry were only some types of the artwork that could be seen in RU's Flossie Martin Art Gallery.

The students from England and West Germany only attended school at RU during the Fall semester, while the others attended the full academic year Attracting foreign students was a competitive market.

According to Dr Benjamin. We accept internationals who qualify according to the same academic standards as Amer •cans. Radford should have over three hundred internationals among a student body of nine thousand by Fall 1990.''

Lt Governor ot Virginia Douglas Wilder spoke to a crowd of about three hundred on the importance of a liberal arts education in RU's Preston Auditorium. He said that students' experiences with higher education are a journey and that they, mustn't rush through college for the sole purpose of acquiring a piece of paper. In addressing the need for liberal arts education on college campuses throughout the country, he said that the word liberal arts has taken a beating, and many people think it means to have no standards. The liberal arts degree should instead challenge students to think critically. write forcefully, and speak articulately. This is achieved through patience and perseverance. Wilder discussed the impact of a col lege degree and said students must allow themselves the time that is necessary to learn and must reflect upon it. He said, A college degree will not necessarily open all doors, and in many instances, will open few doors unless you have geared your- self to receiving the full input of what (ihc degree) means. Wilder also emphasized the need I today's students to set personal goals l themselves. He said, Don't let opp: tumties for growth pass you by. You rru leave college with the ability to adapt ar change You must learn how to 'earn After the speech, a brief question a answer session followed, discussing si: 1 jects like U S tension in the Persian G to the uncertainty of the student tor program.

The building will have three floors and an approximate floor space of 30.000 square feet. The building will house the College of Nursing as well as the Departments of Communication Disorders.

The plans include forty-three faculty and staff offices, six classrooms, and five labs The labs will be divided between the Departments of Communication Disorders and Computer Science.

The project grew Irom three courses in 1984 to nineteen courses being offered in 1987. The RU Honors Program provided unique programs and educational opportunities The program was designed to provide a stimulating academic environment and an intellectual challenge to students Analytical excellence in writing and oral presentations were emphasized Students used more intellectually challenging textbooks in honors courses in order to develop higher levels of reasong mg skills Earl Rrown. a professor of English and director of the Honors Program said. It is not the amount of work which distinguish es the honor students from the nonhonors. It is the kind of work demanded.

By improving the sports facilities and developing existing programs. R.U athletics were becoming a force to be reckoned with Nowhere was this more evident than the construction and expansion of the Donald N. Dedmon Center. The Center was open for use by teams as well as individuals. Facilities included the mam basketball court and four smaller courts for recreational basketball. These courts could also be modified for use as volleyball or tennis courts A 1 6 mile jogging track circles the upper level for the avid runner With raquetball having become a popular sport there were raquetball courts of which there are five to choose from. Since muscle building became a regular part of keeping fit students used the Nautilus-equipped, weight-training and workout room. After all of that activity the student visited the steamroom or the showers and were able to place personal property and workout clothes in the lockers provided. If swimming was more of the exercise program that a student prefered then they took a dip in the pool An expansion onto the mam Center was built as a $2 2 million Natatorium opened the summer of 1987. The eight lane Olympic size pool was part of an indoor-outdoor sports complex. Along with the pool, came the Dedmon Center Outdoor Sports Complex. It featured a baseball field, two soft- ball fields, three multi purpose fields. 12 tennis courts, three practice fields and a jogging path. With the help of the new sports facilities and the allowance for time, our athletic teams have evolved into a strong and competitive power. Last year three Highlander teams captured Big South Conference championship titles and placed third overall for the league Commissioner's Cup Points were awarded in 11 sports based on the finish in the league tournament or regular season standings It was with talent, hard work, and dedication that Radford teams placed well during the season. The Women's Bas ketball team and Men's Women's Cross Country teams treated fans to the sweet taste of victory winning Big South championship titles. This year we looked forward to more significant changes with the hiring of four new coaches. Taking over were Paul Beckwith as Men's and Women's Gymnastics coach; Scott Gines. Baseball; Jane Scroggs, Volleyball; and John Poole. Men’s Tennis. These new influences added to a sports program with an exisiting coaching staff that had successful records, proved that our future has great prospects Herein lies the images of an athletic program that, with the support of students. faculty and the administration, wll continue to prosper and grow well into the future of Radford University. ■ by Susette L.

I think we could have beaten most of those teams Perhaps the most dissapomting aspect of the season was the fact that RU didn’t win any Big South Conference games, going 0 9 against conference foes People don’t realize how tough our conference is. said junior second-baseman Ricky Saunders Some of the teams, like Campbell. Coastal Carolina and Wmthrop. are as good as any other team in this region, including ACC schools. Saunders was one of the bright spots for the Highlanders The Hopewell native led the team in almost every offensive category, including batting average (.314), slugging percentage ( 467), RBI’s (22) and hits (33) He tied for the team lead in doubles (7) and home runs (3) Freshman Will Harvey led the team in hitting most of the season and ended with a 300 batting average A young, inexperienced pitching staff proved to be the biggest weak spot for the Highlanders The team had an ERA of 7 4 and opposing hitters ripped RU pitchers at a 338 clip Junior Deron Hurst was the only pitcher with an earned run average under 6 00 He compiled a 6 65 ERA en route to a 3-3 record The highlight of the Highlanders season was a four game winning streak in mid-April In the stretch, RU shut out Washington and Lee 4-0. downed Christopher Newport 64 and swept a doublheader from Dabney Lancaster 13-1 and 12-1 Only in its third year of existence.

I knew it would be a long year, said Hondras as the season opened. There had been no recruiting the previous year and three of the top players had to withdraw personal reasons. The lack of recruitment caused the team to consist of old players and walk-ons Hondras felt these hurdles could be overlooked if two factors were realized Hondras felt that the need to establish communication was essential to the sport and had to be dealt with immediately. Few people knew each other on the team, therefore, the girls had to be come familiar with me and their new teammates.” said Hondras Another barrier that had to be conquered was the element of understanding The team had to realize that they were a family, sharing common goals and working together Hondras said that his girls new the understood the meaning of commitment, and that “we were a big happy family. Donna Campbell, a member of the team, said, because the team worked together as if they were a family, it contributed to our wins. Sue Shoemaker and Tamara Ponder received the most valuable players award. Shoemaker, a senior from West Milford. N.J., and Ponder, a junior from Virginia Beach played in haromony on the courts to win the Doubles Championship at the Big South Conference tournament. Shoemaker advanced to the final round of the conference's Single Championship, and suffered a disappointing lose after being upset by Wmthrop's Kelly Grant Other winners included Ponder, who finishing second amongst second seeds and Campbell ending the tournament in the second place position after competing with the sixth seeds According to Hondras the matches were generally close and that the losses resulted because, we didn't have enought depth and we lost to strong teams Either we barely won or we barely lost. Hondras felt that the year was rewarding especially considering the difficulties the team experienced at the beginning of the season. The most satisfying part was that the team we lost to in the fall we were able to beat in the spring. said Hondras adding that the team was able to turn a losing season in to a winning one. ■ by Kim King 120 Athletics Keeping The Eye On The Ball Bending low to get the return.

The second and third baseman has perfected his skills and has been a major contributor to the success of the highlanders. Saunder s father, a high school baseball coach, remains his mam influence in the sport It was the transfer of this knowledge and his encouragement that led to his son's baseball abihlties. I've always looked up to my father and his players and wanted to be just like them.'' said Saunders While playing high school ball, scouts from the Montreal Expos and Boston Red Sox came to watch him. During his senior year, he tore ligaments in his left knee which caused bid schools to lose interest in him. Saunders selected Longwood in 1983 Saunders however, wasn't pleased with the school coupled with continuing knee problems inhibiting his play, was willing to look elswhere According to Saunders. Radford seemed the right place to hone his baseball skills and be apart of a good program I've seen the team grow for four years. The team has gone from one that's not very competitive to one that's extremely competitive. said Saunders Now we can play with about anyone.” Saunders, who has played in ever game since he has been at RU. repre-sented the highlanders as well hav.ng been chosen as MVP two years.

Ga Tamara Ponder began her tournament career while only 15 years of age Building upon her enjoyment of the game. Ponder worked diligently and was subsequently rewarded with an athletic scholarship to Radford in 1984 As a freshman. Tammy met Sue for the first time, but it wasn't until the fol lowing year when these two were the only returing players, that their part- nership was established. We both brought out each other's positive side. said Ponder. Being able to understand and respect your partner really helps to motivate you to play your best.” In addition to the doubles victory. Tammy and Sue both placed second in the women's singles finals at the tournament. According to Ponder. At the college level, because the technical skills needed to perform will have been sufficiently developed, what matters out on the court is the players' frame of mind Playing these mental games' often makes the difference between who ends up on the winner s box and who doesn't. Despite the loss in the finals. Tammy remained reconciled with her season record of 16 wins out of 30 matches. Sue managed 17 victories out of a possible 29 the statistics belied the ac tual talent these two demonstrated at every competition. To better understand the achievements of Ponder and Shoemaker, a brief explanation of the structure of a tennis tournament provided some helpful information At each competition, every player was seeded into flights, in order to separate the better players in the early rounds These flights were ranked numerically from one to six, with one being com prised of the best players and so on down the line. Shoemaker played in the number one flight at the Big South Tournament and Ponder occupied a spot in the number two flight. According to Coach Tom Hondras. The most important qualities are com mitment and dedication After these have been established then each in dividual's performance, leadership qualities and their overall effectiveness of the court would be examined. Ponder captured th purpose of her determination during each tennis match when she said. You get out what you put in to it. ■by Merry Lynch Just One More! Exercise Makes It Big At RU Among the everyday hustle and bustle of attending classes and extracurricular activities there was time for exercise Even the busiest students found time to pump iron, attend aerobics class or run a few miles Today's emphasis on fitness became ingrained onto the minds of students. At RU. the opportunities and facilities for a good workout were endless. In terms of sports facilities there wasn't a better athletic complex than the Dedmon Center Built with the ultimate health fanatic in mind, the walls of the raquetball courts never stopped vibrating from the constant pounding of balls. The odor of sweat filled the weight room and cries of pain and unyeilding determination were heard coming from the body builders. Runners jogged on the special foamed jogging track circling above the heads of the basketball players down below playing a game of one on one. Outside athletes turned a fun sport into their own grueling test of muscle pulling and agility But, the workout wasn't limited to just the Dedmon Center. In the dorms a new way of finding fitness was emerging into major popularity: aerobics. An aerobics instructor made people believe they were walking into a room to dance to the beat of music only to find themselves gasp for breath and wondering when Jane' Jackson's Nasty'' LP became the Icog est running song in music history anc getting longer as the aerobics sessions continue. Complaints were common but enrollment never decreased. The rewards were far too great. Even those who didn't care to take tmx out of their day to take in a formal fitness program, couldn't get out of walking Peo pie were always walking around campvs either to class or just to take in the eve ryday activities.

Her junior year she won the award for best all-around. As a Robert E. Lee High School senior she made second team All District and All-Regional as well as receiving the MVP award. Foster, a senior, receives a scholarship holder, is a outside middle blocker for the Highlanders. After being on the team for four years, Foster has racked up awards such as three All-Tournaments and All-Conference for two years. Since staying in shape is an integral part of being an athlete, Foster must stay in shape all year. I play a lot during the summer. I play mixed doubles and doubles that are less players and make you work harder And I lift weights in the offseason said Foster Even being a starter on the team, Foster also finds time to play on the Roanoke Volleyball Association and is Supervisor for Volleyball Intermurals.

Junior Greg Hall has brought his skills up to the level that for most athletes takes years longer He has proven himself a force to be reckoned with on the Men s RU Gymnas- Itics team. One of the reasons I came to RU was to get into gymnastics. I've been doing it ever since. said Hall, of Res-ton VA Practice lasts for three hours a day every day of the year. The summers are spent making sure that muscles stay firm and bodies are in top physical condition for competition in the fall Hall choreographs the routines on all of the events himself. Each event has requirements. After I write the routines down I just practice it until it become second nature to me said Hall. Hall emphasizes that the most important aspect of performing the routines is to concentrate on the form and then the routine. After receiving sixth place on the parallel bars in state competition last year, setting a school record. Hall conceded that it is his best event. Hike all of the events though. There is so much variety. Six totally different events. It isn't like basketball or soccer where you are always doing that one thing. So. in gymnastics you don't get bored. said Hall. In high school Hall tasted the athletic life that other sports had to offer, having played soccer, baseball, tennis and being a skier and swimmer, he chose the diversity of gymnastics. But, starting late Hall admits that learning his skills didn't always come easy and leaves him wondering if he should have started earlier. I learned so much, so fast I sometimes got frustrated. I ask myself if I had started 10 years ago where would I be now? said Hall. For the time being however Hall participated. along with the rest of the team, in the Shenandoah Invitational. Metro Invitational and East Coast Atlantic Conference While he says that he doesn't mentally prepare for a meet until he is actually there, he does remain motivated the whole time and blocks everything out during the event. It is with this determination that the gymnastic team has endured. I think the program is getting stronger We have a lot of room for growth With two new freshman from out-of-state, we can hopefully start to receive attention from outside the state.

Since they lost fifteen players off last year s squad, this was to be considered a rebuilding year for the Highlanders, but it ended up being one of the best RU men's soccer seasons this school has ever seen. The men faced one of their toughest seasons ever as they played teams such as UVA. Old Dominion. Loyola, and N.C, State. But with RU's balanced attack, they proved to be worthy opponents for these nationally ranked teams. Head coach Don Staley said. The toughness of the schedule helped mature the younger players, seeing as RU started seven to eight freshman each game. In fact, the men faced ODU and Loyola in the first two matches of the season, which hurt their record, but helped the freshman see what it v as like to play in college level. RU ran their record to 2-4-1, which didn't make a lot of people happy, but then the team began to tear through its schedule, posting up victory after victory. The Highlanders ended the season at 9-7-2. which was quite a record for a rebuilding year. Not only that, but at the end The toughness of the schedule helped mature the younger players. — Coach Don Staley of the season, the men traveled to Coa al Carolina to face the number one team the Big South RU ended the game on t' high side of a 4-1 score, and forced three way tie for the top position in t’ conference. The future for the men s scccer team very bright But right now. the light b longs to this year's team The fans a' players stuck together through the b; times, and it payed off.

Goalie Laura Reed, a transfer from Texas A M. is a member of the women's na tional I9 and under select team an has 1C3 shutouts to her credit in 177 games. For RU this year she launched her career off with six shutouts and 89 saves. Another newcomer that played well was Suzanne Campbel. an all-Catholic first team selection, scored 23 goals and added 13 assists during her senior season at Holy Cross High School, performed well with seven goas Karen McGrath was next with six. A strong force of returnees helped out the Highlanders this year as sweeperback Jennifer Baughman; midfielder Lei a Haack; sophomore strikers McGrath. Erika Kushan and Molly Crampton. and back Helen Wagner gave determined performances Wagner was recruited to Radford lost year and was one of the athletes most sought after to join the team. Karen Twait. shouldered a great amount of responsibility for the Highlanders. After a five game winning streak at the beginning of the season. RU put away Old Dominion 2-0. Loyola 8-0. Randolph-Macon 5 0. Maryland 2-1 and Elon 2-0. Although they suffered a lost to Virginia 0-2. there was a much needed win to UNC-Asheville 9-0. It wasn't until a loss in overtime to George Mason in October tht the fancy footers entered a losing streak of four. The WAGS Tournament held in Spring-field. VA.. was the location of two of those losses. RU however, surpassed Mary Washington 4 0 to walk away with the heads held high. The Radford Invitational taught the Highlanders that coming away with a loss to Cincinnati but a win over Dayton, the time for rebuilding had arrived. Coach Don Staley wanted his young team to come together and surely worked toward that goal this year. I guess after the 1986 season, there wasn't as much pressure on us as there was heading into last year We want to make soccer fun again. said Staley ■ by Susette L.

But, then it was a five game losing streak with a lose to UVA among them. After losing 0-1 at the Tech Tournament they came back to win big against Randolph Macon 9 0. The real boosters and what proved a nice ending to a hard season were the two wins against Appalachian State 2-1. and Virginia Tech 3-1. There were so many matches where if we could have just scored once it would have made all the difference in the world. said coach Jeff Woods. We planned on being much more offense minded this year. Even with all of the pressures of a season plagued with problems, the Highlanders. chose to use it as a season of experience. As history has noted, even the best teams must learn to lose gracefully.

Thanks to the efforts of the Inter-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic, rush was a great success this year both in participation and organization. More students went through rush this past year than ever before. This fall, IFC changed the fraternity rush procedure by starting a mandatory pre-rush sign up for rushees. In the past, a rushee could sign up at a fraternity's open rush party. The new procedure proved to be much more organized, and it gave the rushees an opportunity to attend a rush information session. According to rush chairman Steve Lunceford, The meeting was to inform rushees about the fraternities and to let them know that there are ten different ones to choose from Too often, guys make up their minds to pledge a fraternity without taking a better look at what the others have to offer. IFC played an important role in rush by stressing the importance of academics, community service, leadership, and of course, the social aspects of Greek life A minimum GPA of 2.0 was required of rushees by IFC; however, some fraternities set higher standards. Open rush was basically for the rushee to meet the brothers, to ask questions, and to learn about each fraternity he was interested in. Closed rush was by invitation only, for the purpose of giving the rushees a deeper look into that particular fraternity. For sororities, informal rush was held in the fall and formal rush in the spring An information seminar v as held at the beginning of both rushes. Rush chairman Mary Vanderbeck said. The rushees needed to know what was expected of them. The seminar featured skits and small group sessions to answer individual questions. Sorority rush was open to second semester freshmen or higher, and also to transfer students. Informal rush was for rushees who already knew which sorority they wanted The individual sororities held their own rush parties, but AZ and AIA opted not to participate in fall rush since their national quota had already been reached All seven sororities participated in formal rush, which was held in the beginning of the spring semester. All rushees attended each sorority's rush parties during the course of a week. At the end of the week each rushee signed a preference sheet with her top three choices. New pledges were selected on the basis of mutual selection. Pledging a sorority can open up so many oportunities you would never have if you didn't rush. Sororities can teach you so much socially, intellectually, and academically, added Vanderbeck. Rush is just the first step in Greek life, which has brought many people new challenges. new friends, and the opportunity to grow in numerous ways. IFC and Panhellenic did an outstanding job this year in keeping the rushees better informed and feeling comfortable, and with their efforts, rush will continue to be a proud tradition at RU.

AZ©s small size is an aspect that makes the sorority unique. One advantage the sistes of AZ0 enjoy is the cosenes a small group allows We are an extremely close-knit group and we take sisterhood very seriously. explains President Kim Taylor Another aspect that adds to AZ0's individuality is their interaction with their little brothers, known as the Delta Beaus The Delta Beaus are responsible for com-pletemg one public service p'Oiect on Delta Sigma Theta Kim Taylor.

Public service is the name of the game for the sisters of AZ© They have had much success with projects such as helping out with bloodmobiles, participating in the New River Valley Big Sister program, and donating a Thanksgiving basket that they collected for the less fortunate One activity the sisters are especially proud of is the Block Festival that they hosted last year. AZ0 got together with AKA. KAiJr, and a Va Tech chapter to hold a Greek Step Show for endowment of the black scholarship. We are looking forward to a block festival this year. Taylor commented. In addition to the block festival. Delta Sigma Theta is looking forward to engaging in a variety of both social and service activities Something new for the sorority this year was that they beca member of the Panhellenic Council t governs the sororities This will alow A:' to become more actively involved with larger Greek organizations on camp One of our goals is to participate activities with other Greeks that wc otherwise be impossible due to cur size said Taylor.

Even though we are the largest sorority, we warn to strive to be the closest. says Lllen Crook AZ's president Playing putt-putt, bowling, hiking at the Cascades, and holding a sister retreat were only some of the activities that the sisters of AZ participated in both for fun and for the purpose of getting to know each other even better This past year at Province Day, the sisters of Delta Zeta got the chance to show the results of their hard work by winning awards in their province for best philanthropy, top grade point average, and pledge quota. During Greek Week AZ's teamwork was obvious. They won Greek games and placed first in sidewalk art. pizza eating, air band, pyramid building volleyball, and relay races Dressed as Greek raisms Del ta Zeta sisters performed Heard it through the Greek Vine’’ and won best overall in the Greek Follies. Delta Zeta participates in many philanthropies. among them a Swim a-thon with Sigma Nu to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Share program which is responsible for preparing food for the needy, and Meals on Wheels in which hot meals are delivered to shut-ins in the Radford area each month. In addition. they trick-or-treated with Phi Sigma Kappa for canned goods, and also sponsored a Haunted house with Sigma Phi Epsilon for underpnvledged children. In September the sisters of Delta Zeta welcomed the members of the faculty back by giving apples to all the professors, and in October held their first annual See-saw-a-thon to raise money for the Hearing Impaired Clinic at RU. The sisters sec sawed for 30 hours and raised $600. Three years ago they began the Annual Fraternity Pledge Battle, originally designed to raise money for the sorority. Since that time its purpose has changed. Now it's simply a fun afternoon for all the Greek organizations to get to know the pledges. Because of the large size of the sorority. DZ decided not to hold a fall rush this year According to President Ellen Crook it was a smart decision, because it gave them more time to get to know the new sisters Since it had been a year since their last rush, the entire sorority was very excited about Spring Rush this year. DZ has given a lot of thought to holding rush next fall and they have decided it is in the best interest of everyone (pledges and sisters) to only hold it once a year A decision which was considered wise by many others, and who are planning to follow their lead. by Kathy Keller 2nd best Chilio that is Homecomemg Chi he Cookoll 1987.

Last year they not only received The President's Service Award, they also received recognition from their nationals for all their projects designed to help others. Although not many students utilize their escod service they have continued to have brothers volunteer their time in the evenings jus! incase a student doesn't feel safe walking home alone The Wesley Foundation is another group who could always rely on KDP for help They rake leaves, paint, and provide anyother services needed lo make the area more attractive Just when one thought there was nothing else KDP could do, they suprised the campus again Last Spring 111 worked with them to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy They sponsored events for the entire campus for an entire week and at the end of the week they held an all campus party. Since all work and no play can make Jack a dull boy. KDP sponsors Macado's on Wednesday nights It gives them a little extra money to use for the fraternity and also gives them a night during the week to blow off a little steam Tne turnout usually good, because it's a little different than other fraternity bar nights. Since there is no music, customers are forced to socialize differently than they would at the Bus Stop. For the future, KDP hopes grow some more. Last semester they had a pledge class of 10 men. But they don't accept just anyone interested. They Icok for guys with leadership qualities. Their members are very active in a wide variety of organizations around campus. 202 Greeks Greeks 203 Phi Kappa Sigma 204 Greeks Greeks 205 Pbi Sigma Kappa P I hi Sigma Kappa, the oldest fraternity in the fraternal o'gamzations worked hard this year to demonstrate their strong belief in Greek unity and ir the Greek system as a whole In October.

As far as community service goes, t IK participates in canned food drives regularly, and the members worked security for the MDA Supcrdance. In ad dition. they sponsor bar nights every Thursday night, with a percentage of the money earned going to their national chapter and also to MDA every couple of months When they weren't busy promoting brotherhood and taking initiative in service projects.

Bud Light supplied posters and cups with the Bud Light insignia, and flKO supplied the time and determination. Other commun ty service projects that they participated m this year included fundraising to support the Wesley Foundation, and sponsoring children at St Albans Psychiatric Hospital. In addition to service projects, the brothers of Pi Kappa Phi took part in many social activities Some of these included mixers with sororities, date nights.

The brothers and pledges of IN have built fraternal unity by setting goals and working together to achieve those goals Many of the brothers participate in vol unteer community services outside of the Was it a good catch Ready to make his pass. Dave Spill looks downlield for an open man university such as working for the Radford City Jail and with the people from the New River Valley Mental Retardation Center. They also hold their annual Swim-a-thon in the spring with Delta Zcta to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Sigma Nu is proud of the diversity among its members and urges them to participate in other campus organizations and activities as well Some brothers are varsity athletes, some are involved in SGA and ROTC, and others are involved with publications both on and off campus such as the Tartan and the Perspective. Another asset to the fraternity is its so little sisters. According to chapter Pres ident Neil Williamson. “They help suppor the brothers at Greek athletic events, tor most of all. they enhance the fraternity experience for all. The diversity among IN's brothers ha helped them to remain close, but at the same time has allowed each member K keep his own identity. With the help of a the brothers and pledges.

For the fall semester was not aloud to meet on campus. But the fraternity wouldn’t give up hope They knew that if they continued to show support for RU chances were good that in January all would be forgiven. Before being re instated as an active fraterntiy at RU. the members of Sig Ep met with national leadership consultants from Richmond. The fraternity developed seven goals for the next few years among them include a Brotherhood Development Program, regular alumni contact, and ac ademic programing. As great as everything seems, the fraternity hasn't come out of this sus pension unscared. In order to boost morale they have installed a committee system. Every brother is assigned to a committee and is expected to participate actively. This way. everyone feels like they are needed. Sig Ep usually schedules a Bike-A-Thon for The American Cancer Society in the fall. Because of their university standing last year, they tenatively scheduled a ride to Richmond this spring. IOE has proven to everyone that with determination and drive they can overcome many adversities.

In February they sent 11 peop e to a conference to find out what else they could do in order to assure acceptance by nationals. The guys hope 'o have national recognition by May so that next year they can try to gain RU acceptance. Even though trying to start a new Greek organization on campus is hard work and frustrating at times, the guys don't let it get them down. They try to work with the Greek organization currently sponsored by RU to earn a feeling of unity with them. For Valentine's Day they delivered roses to each of the sororities and serenaded them to the song Cupid''. They also ga e$20 to each sorority for the girls who danced in the Super Dance. The organization may be young, but ; ey have nearly as many members as any other fraternity on campus. The organization was formed by some friends who lived in Muse last fall They were interested n starting a new organization on campus and had heard a lot about Sigma Chi. Nationwide it's the largest fraternity and several of the members are legacies. Currently they have 37 members. but that won't last too long. By next year at the latest they hope to have a pledge class Another plus on the side of size is the age of the organization. There s only one senior and the newest prescient is only a sophomore.

The Alpha Theta chapter of 111 has dedicated much time to its philanthropy, which is the Robbie Page Memorial Fund The money that has been raised in memory of Robbie Page has built a new ambulatory unit and a new wing at the N.C Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. This past spring. Tri Sig supported the special Olympics and SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis). In addition, they helped celebrate parents weekend this fall with the third annual Balloon As-sention. This is one of Ill's favorite ac tivities, and the proceeds are donated to the Robbie Page Fund. Another tradition celebrated by the 60 sisters of Tri Sig is the annual Christmas Luminccrs. The campus was beautifully illuminated, which helped promote the holiday spirit at RU They also sponsored an all campus Christmas party in Heth, and sold Christmas cards to raise money for the sorority. Other 111 fundraisers included candy sales, bake sales, and car washes. They also served their community by participating in numerous service projects such as the annual litterathon. While keeping busy with fundraisers, community service projects, and their philanthropy.

But the Brothers have a lot more to be proud of than just a Friday night bar night. This Spring there are 69 brothers and 17 pledges, making them the largest fraternity. and probably the most active on campus. Be ng active and involved in many different projects (both service and social) actually brings the guys closer together. The unity among the brothers s recognised by other fraternities at and also away from RU. In March they received an award for the Most Outstanding Recruitment and also the TKE regional award for most pledges initiated Because of these honors they were invited to go to Atlanta for the award presentation ceremony. They will also be featured in the national TKF magazine for their recruitment efforts. So with all these active brothers, is TKE content to just sit around and marvel at their size and standing. No They are involved in many different service projects both on and off campus. Everyone on campus knows that they can throw a party for college age people, but they can brighten others day's with a party. For Christmas, they invited underprivledged children to their Fairfax St appartments to party with Santa. For some of those kids, it would be the best Christmas they'll ever have They aiso worked with Tri Sig to hold a Valentine's Day Dance at Sacketts for the Mental Health Service. When the brothers of TKE go home for a break they take their services with them While many people relaxed over Christmas and didn’t even want to think about life at RU. some service minded TKE's served food to the homeless at a Virginia Beach Soup Kitchen.

The 56 sisters and 25 pledges work hard to promote unity for the Greek community and also for RU as a whole. Through group effort and help from na tionals they have developed programs that are interesting to those inside and outside the Greek community In the fall they invited their national president, Becky Kerwm, to RU to speak to the Greek community about hazing . It's a subject that needed to be discussed and the turnout was a success. They also sponsored guests to speak on the subject of anorexia and bulemia diseases common to many college students. Besides bringing in lecturers, the ladies of ZTA promoted Greek unity during the holidays. During the Halloween season they carved pumpkins and delivered them to all the other sororities and the fraternities. Working together on projects through out the year brings the sisters closer together as a family Sisterhood is strong because it's based on trust and friendship. said ZTA President Terry Norvelle.

Amnesty International began 25 years ago in London, and devotes most of its time and energy to finding the most effective means of helping prisoners of conscience. Although its many functions include publicizing abuses of human rights and meeting with foreign government representatives. its primary tool is the long term adoption of imprisoned Americans. Amnesty sends cards, letters, and telegrams to government officials on behalf of prisoners all over the world, and in 1977 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to promote global observance of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It's so easy to write a letter. said Wayne It doesn’t take a lot of effort, ana you don't even have to leave your house' In its first year, the club recruited 28 members who met twice a month to adopt prisoners and write correspon dences. Through a concert benefit held it October and $2 dues for membership each semester, the chapter was able lc finance their cause. Infringement of human rights is eve rybody's issue, said Wayne. “It's nc; communist, or democratic, or anything.'' The RU chapter of Amnesty International made great progress in its first yea-motivated by its concern for the natura rights of all people In a society ofte-consumed by self-interest and superficiality, RU's Amnesty International went against the gram, working for the end of worldwide torture and execution, and the protection of human rights, by Robin Allcut Aikido Club: Dr Eric H.

Boyd said he fell that many people have too many misconceptions from television, movies and novels that don't depict Native Americans in their true reality One of Boyd's mam ob jectives for the club was to foster an understanding of Native Americans in a realistic light, to get rid of old stereotypes and to open the minds of many to the complexities involved with Native Americans. Club members were given the opportunity to travel to a traditional Indian pow wow in Jamestown. N.C. in the fall. Indian dance competitions and a tee pee competition were held with contests in tra ditional. fancy shawl and other special dances Indian jewelry, crafts and food were sold and traded The people were really friendly and open, but what I enjoyed the most was the ornate crafts that tl e traders had made — everything was originally designed and I appreciated their traditional arts and crafts work.

Patricia Ball, and Ma'k K Fleming Conference Hosted By RU The National Appalachian Studies Con-ftrence was hosted by RU on March 18-20 1988 The theme was Mountains of E-perience: Interdisciplinary, Intercultural. tnlernational. This was the first time RU hosted the conference, and Dr. Grace Edwards. President of the Appalachian Studies As soctation and chairperson of the Appalachian Studies Program at RU said. Hosting the conference was good be cause it was time to show the progress our program has made since it began in 1980. The conference rotates annually among sit states Kentucky. North Carolina. Tennessee. Virginia. West Virginia, and Georgia Any school interested in hosting the conference could invite the conference to come, and then the committee would de ode who would host the conference RU decided in 1985 to host the 1988 con-'erence and has been planning for it since The conference takes place because of a need for shared community between !hose scholars and supporters interested m and studying the culture. Edwards explained Participants form a network or support group, much like the extended family in the Appalachian culture These conferences are somewhat like a reunion with that family, ' said Edwards. People who were registered members and those who wanted to attend the conference and join the organization shared in the conference A mixture of about 350 people attended the 1988 conference at RU The con fcrence helped us find out about new research as well as what was being taught in other classrooms. said Ed wards. Appalachian studies is a rela lively new field. It has been taught no longer than 10 years in any school in the country. she said There was a total of 49 different sessions at the conference plus common activities and media presentations throughout the conference. Seven sessions, at either a half-hour or one hour spans, were going on at the same time Each session consisted ot about four people, each doing a separate presentation, but the presentations were basically on the same topic. Some sessions consisted of a panel of three or four people The panel would have a discussion on a subject, and each person on the panel would develop a po sition on the given topic. About 90 presentations were given on different aspects in Appalachia. The topics ranged from the sociological aspects to politics to folklore to the significant people and settlements in the region to the literary aspects of the region, such as looking at specific authors or themes of Appalachia Any topic worthy of presenting was given at the conference Common activities included a banquet with speaker Marilou Awiakta. poet and essayist author of Abiding Appalachia Where Mountain and Atom Meet.' A luncheon and local grass roots concert were also held. It was a shov casc of local, traditional Appalachian music. Throughout the conference, media presentations were going on. Films, po etry readings, fiction readings, and open sessions where people could talk. sing, play instruments together, and do whatever they wanted were field. There was something at the 1988 conference that interested everyone who attended It was impossible to see everything. The main goal of the National Appalachian Studies Conference was to give people the opportunity to share in the interests of others, the teaching activities, the creative works, the concerns others may have had, and to renew acquaintances There was an obvious closeness with this group of people, and for many, the conference was a reunion by Gina Lupino Appalachian Events Committee 233 Tradition + Innovation Oance Theatre Members of toe PU Dance theatre practice tor an upcoming performance, blending new moves with agility And style pmto By I stun Uv'iw The RU Arnce theatre mixed tradition with innovation to create a style all their own for the 87 88 school year Comprised ot approximately 30 dance ma jors. minors and enthusiasts, the group reflected the different tastes and abil ties of students as well as faculty members Pieces in iazz. modern and ballet were choreographed and produced by all members of the dance faculty, which wias made up by chairpe'son Margate Oevaney.

Born into an artistic family. Dell said his mother and sister encouraged h;s artistic talents. When I was five years old, I picked up a pencil and haven't let go of one since. said Dell. Not only is Dell a hard working RU graduate student, he also participates in Roanoke art exhibits (when he has the money), edits art work for the Gaelic literary magazine, and works at the office of Public Information and Relations. He rel eves some tension of being a graduate student by drawing the cartoon Leggs LaRue for The Tartan . To many RU students, the cartoon character Leggs Larue is a real person. Wncn Dell was an undergraduate student. former Tartan editor Virginia Sowers asked him to create a weekly comic strip for the paper. As he was creating Leggs he wanted to deal with real issues, but also wanted to make Leggs a fun person. In the four years Leggs has been around, she has been caught em bezzlmg funds from her sorority, overdosing on Cocaine, and most recently, finding her boyfriend. Paul, in bed with her youn ger sister. Lipps. Dell talks excitedly about graduation and finding employment in his field His goal is to have his own syndicated col umn. but he realizes how competitive the art profession really is. He isn't a pessimist. although he has had his fair share of rejection letters already. On the av erage. art editors evaluate about 200 comic strip ideas each week For every Jim Davis (creator of Garfield ), there are a thousand other people who didn'1 make it. even though they had valid ideas Rejection is no big deal All I want to do now is work, whether it is a real job il lustrating, or else freelancing. After four years as a part of RU history, Leggs LaRue is graduating. But, don't be surprised if one day she reappears beside your morning cup of coffee on the front page of your Sunday comics. Until then, Leggs. we will miss your pretty face and all your zany adventures while trying to survive RU. by Nikki De Unger Kim S. Gerhardt Marketing Jimmy H. Gianopouios Accounting Pamela M.

But not all believers are losing their faith. John Kearney, a graduate student, business professor, and an asc i ng minister at RU still finds faith in the .-.ord of God. As a freshman at RU. John said he partied with the best . My mam reason • r coming to RU was the ratio of girls to Keeping the Faith guys, which then was almost three to one. RU also had a big party reputation, and it seemed to fit all my needs That same year, John became a brother of RKO fraternity. What John found his first year at RU. was one long continuous party Religion didn’t play a big part in John's life until the Spring Quarter of 1984. when a friend shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him Until then, John says he possessed a head knowledge of Jesus, but never really understood or realized what Christ did on the cross for me. Since then, he has become very involved in preaching the word of God John’s personal motivation has been the Gospel of Matthew 28 18-20. which is the basis of The Great Commission. In this Gospel, Christ commands all Christians to go and make deciples out of nonbelievers This is the driving force behind The Great Commission The Great Commission is a nationwide non-denominational Christian organization In 1985. John helped to form a group here at RU. He served as its president 'ast year, and is presently an advisor for the group Last year. John started a weekly col umn in “The Tartan , appropriate entitled, From The Right .

Not everybody agreed or liked what I wrote, but tncy read it. thought about it. and talked about it They weighed the information in it with their own beliefs, eventually making their own decision about the subject. Because of it. I was able to shed some new light on some readers. John believes that the students today were brought up in a time where rebellion against authority and religion was the norm. A lot of them are like I was. pos sessing just a head knowledge of the word of God They know about it. but they don’t understand it As things happen, the world progresses People will see they are not satisfied with their lifestyle. They will find no purpose in life. Eventually they will turn to the Gospel if someone will share it with them. They may deny Christ now, but there will be a day when they will want to here and receive Christ's word In preparing for his life as a minister. John has read the Bible several limes, and obeying what it says. He has avoided Seminary schools because they read so much into the Bible, that they don’t act on it. If you can’t act upon it. you can't apply it. The qualifications for being a minister, John says, are in the Bible. As the qualifications are rnet, he can receive the ministry. “Living, acting and applying what the Bible says is the best preparation for becoming a minister that I know of. I realty enjoy it. As a personal aspiration, John said. I v ould like to see The Great Commission fulfilled in my lifetime and to have an influence on the righteousness of the world around us. by Jenny Keppel and Pete Guldseth C.

Nobody should have to experience what I went through this year I learned a lot about myself, others, and yes, even yearbooks. I could have never gotten this book out without the help of next year's editor Susie Ritenour God Babe, you really pulled through even when everyone else had given up I've decided God put you here to be a samt and I'll be here for you next year. Just call when you're on deadline and I'll be up (down) in less than four hours Kristen. I gave you a big picture be cause YBA never sent me a picture of you Hope it'll do You did a lot of learning this year. I think number one you realized you didn't ever want to hear the words Campus Life again. Thanks for sticking it out. And best of luck always Tommy, you got your work dene so efficiently we realized you were the only stable person on the staff. Sorry we didn't see more of you. How's Nov 19 sound to you? Pete, also jokingly known to me as Wonder Boy. I never knew when you'd show up and I honestly don't think you cared. Well you did get your stuff done, sod of. Tina. I figured I'd mention your name once, since one month was about all you worked for this publication. I am assuming you quit, you never really told me! Gina and Scott, you two spent so much time fighting over pictures that very little actually got done Then it didn't matter because you both disappeared anyway Siri and Michelle, you two deserve to be thanked a millior times over for your photographs Dr Hartman, we may not have seemed all together at times, but that's only because a normal human can only do so much before they break I hanks for making me stick this out I II never forget you or your guidance l hope you continue to help Susie this year and next Mr. Meade, you always said you did so little, yet when things got rough we knew you'd be there for us. Mike Ashley. Susie tells me that without you the athletics section would never have been completed Because of your extreme patience and generosity. Susie is planning a career as a sports writer (in her next life') To the Tartan staff, writers and photographers W'e may have not always agreed upon whos mess was in the work room or dark room, but you all were there for emotional support as well as offering your photos and stories when we were running short on time. A million thanks'. Ron Peterson Thanks for letting me stare at your great body every day. Oh. by the way..thanks for the sports pictures too To the RU students: With all the problems we had getting this publication to you. I hope it represents this year well. There are special memories that come and go with college life and they should never be forgotten Thanks and no thanks, Nancy Mulvihill. 1988 Beehive Editor CLOSED PEDESTRIANS USE OTHER SIDE A Pillar Of Strength The strength oi Radford is its academic programs Those pillars can he seen through a window of a classroom m Russoli Halt ( o o, t tuenour Wall Street In Radford Whitt Hail promotes the business ot money because it houses the School ot Business which includes Economics, finance.
