Change brought a great deal of controversy and, unfortunate- ly, also a veritable epidemic of apathy.

Lower right: Dave Marx: you can dress him up, but you can't take him anywhere. The year 1986, while still replete with change, marked the turning point of this trend, as new faculty mem- bers, students, and adminis- trators sought innovative means of solving lingering problems and made plans to assure a secure, bright fu- ture. 1987 promises a breath of fresh air in the form of sta- ble tuition, room, and board costs and a new administra- tive staff, but a review of the often stagnant past is in order as we prepare to create the future. Some of the most contro- versial changes in the past few years have resulted from the adding and dropping of programs. Sparks flew when a costly engineering program was added then dropped after two years, as well as when the January Intensive Term was terminated. The ashes of those controversies provided some of the heat in discussions regarding the purchase and operations of Regent's College, undoubt- edly Rockford College's most ambitious undertaking to date. While most segments of the Rockford College com- munity see the addition of Re- gent's as a tremendous boon, some cite the London program's slow start and the current 'search for a partner in the enterprise as reasons for concem. Thus the pro- gram changes of the past few years have often proved to be a hotbed of controversy among students, faculty members, and administra- tors. 4 Introduction Xe VH'-C .1. . 1.4 , Upper: President Norman Stewart was Rock- ford College's 15th President, who resigned on 8 November 1986. Middle left: President Stewart with the Regent Lion at a soccer game. Lower right: President Stewart sewing up slop in the cafeteria. Could this be the reason for his hasty departure? Ho. Due to his increased visibility in intemational edu- cation over the last five years tin the found- ing of Regent's College in Londonl, a num- ber of other opportunities have presented themselves. Other recent changes which have met with varying de- grees of opposition fall into the category of overall col- lege atmosphere. Wholesale lin scope, not costl changes have been made in Burpee Center, resulting in a beauti- ful, new Admissions and Fi- nancial Aid Office and remod- eled Registration and Busi- ness Offices. To accomodate these changes, the student- ffaculty snack bar was moved from Burpee to John- son Center Qnow the spa- cious, ever-popular Lion's Deny. Upstairs in Burpee fur- ther remodeling took place, resulting in fairly impressive administration oflices, a ren- ovated Forrest Cool Lounge, and an imposing - if rather functionless - balcony. Other changes on the campus' in- clude the closing of Mciiaw Hall in favor of reopening Castor, Nelson, and Olson halls, alterations in the es- cort and visitation policies, and the replacement of the Rolling R symbol with the Re- gent Lion. Though not per- haps as obvious as the pro- gram changes, the atmo- spheric changes have sub- stantially altered the look and feel of the Rockford Col- lege campus.

New Chairman of the Board Tom Johnson and Provost Joel Rodney have already begun to stabilize the college financially while retaining programs and faculty, and new Dean of Admissions Gerald Wouri and his staff have begun an aggressive nationwide recruiting campaign. Controversial President Norman Stewart has moved on and the search is on for the man best suited to guiding Rockford College into its Promised Land. There is a fresh optimism in the air which is best expressed by Johnson's statement, The worst is over with. Rockford College certainly seems to be rolling with the changes that have confronted it and will probably continue to do so in the future.

One weekend each summer, incoming Freshmen are invited to an onentation weekend. During this weekend, they take placement tests, become acquainted with each other, and engage in several leisure activities. But the fun does not stop there. Before they are too settled into campus life, they are roused at an ungodly hour and hustled by their R.A.'s to the flagpole for some early moming calesthenics and spirit- song singing. l l V , l Q . lil Upper left: The freshmen of Johnson Complex are rudely awak- ened at 6:00 a.m. on their first day at Rockford College.

A con- cept made popular by artist Christo, the idea behind wrapping is in revealing the form of an object through obscuring it.

The festivities began with a well-received Diana Ross and the Supremes' number. Stop, in the name of love was daringly performed in skivvies and towels, with borrowed Mai- denforms stuffed with assorted objects. The second band kid an up-beat version of Michael Jackson's Beat It , and al- though they seemed t'un-bea- table at the time, the third band won with a hysterical ver- son of the Go-Go's We Got the Beat. Laughter resulted when the non-performing bands peered over the edge of the Lion's Den balcony to view the competi- tion and enjoy the crowd's an- tics - whether screaming, clapping, shaking their heads, or throwing themselves at the feet of the lead singers. 20 - Lip Sync QRCIEISRD Opposite page, lower left: Kevin Lee, Larry Kast, and Vincent Nganga strike a feminine pose for publicity shots.

Leaming: The volleyball team had many new faces this year including lirst year coach Connie Thompson. lt was a leaming year for all. Many indivi- duals had to assume new roles on the team..The freshmen had to be- come accustomed to a faster tempo and harder hitting game. Fundamen- tals were stressed and much im- provement was seen. This year's team was led by seniur co-captains Jean Moore and Liney Halldorsdottir. The team was led in blocking by L. Hayenga. J. Moore was the most consistent attacker and L. Hayenga had the most kills. T. Kelleher led the team in service aces while A. Young led in set assists. J. Moore was named to the Pl. Park All- Toumament team and was selected as this year's Most Valuable Player. Both Liney and Jean provided leadership for the young squad and will be missed next year. Coach Thompson expects to have a strong nucleus of players retuming to build next year's team. ,..-v-Ted ,.f 1-,-,,,,.. 1 ... .--'-'Tl'-1 .,f:'--,.'L.-'A- ,Jil I fir..- l4L 2 '.w ? : Z gs:-'T'-Q ., ,,f'57,- ......-- , . ..

The Men's Cross Country Team, under the direction of first year Head Coach Troy Yunk, had an im- proved season. The five runners who started the season ended run- ning times that were minutes faster than any previous personal best. Outstanding individual comittment and team dedication made the 1986 Cross Country Season a suc- cess. The Regents, Ied by first team all l'lllC runner, senior Sigurjon Hjar- 6 Cross Country ,ra F? 222125. tarson, hightlighted the season by placing 5th at the Plortheastem llli- nois lnvitational and 4th at the con- ference meet. The 1986 Cross Country season saw the first complete Rockford College women's Cross Country team. The women's team, plagued by injury all season, managed to pull together and field a complete team on October 4 at the Beloit ln- vitational. The Women Regents, let by con- K ference champ, Colette Salm, had a season which introduced Cross Country running at the Collegiate level. Although inexperienced, the Lady Regents ran with heart and proudly represented their school. with the retum of sophomore Pal- mira Enriquez, the 1987 season should prove to be a step in the right direction for the development of the women's program. -Coach Troy Yunk Golfers On Course- , on , . ffl ik' Fore Conference Victory 4- ' Far left: Tim Felthdyer re- turning to Ekvall after an afternoon on the course.

With a 5-0 conference record, the Hackers, led by coach Bromley, won most of their toumaments by a healthy margin. The Conference championship brought not only the trophy to R.C., but on mxakqljm 2' ,, i ., produced three top-five con- ference finishes. ln the one stroke win over IBC. Tim Felt- meyer, Jeff Hayenga, and Dan Giescke finished 2nd., Z5rd., and 5th., respectively. The rest of the team included cap- tain Paul DeLeon, Scott Gould, and Andy Angel.

Soccer Begins With Clean Sweep: Season For Gaining Experience To be straightforward, the Men's Soccer Team did not have a good year. lt finished with a 6-8-5 record and lost the conference champion- ship for the first time in seven years. After losing four senior starters from the previous year, the team had lost a lot of experience and talent. However, the team was able to do something which was lacking in previous years - the ability to play well togeth- er as a team. The team was young and gained a lot of ex- perience in 1986 and looks to do well in the coming years. Led by captains Carlos Cuiriz, an all-midwest selection, and Andy Wycoff, the team will do much better in 1987. On the lighter side, the team perfected the arts of acronymizing, sharing, and animal games. -Iain Johnston, Captain Upper: Dave Marx hustles to take control of the play away from an eager St. John's player.

The cam- pus group is part of a larger international organization which had branches in the U.S., England, Germany, and Australia. The Society is an historical group devoted to the study of the Medieval period. The so- ciety recreates as many fac- ets of medieval life as possi- ble and participated in medi- eval cooking, dancing, mu- sic, sewing, brewing, gaming and warfare. Absent from this list are some less popular facets of medeival life such as serfdom and plague.

One may win awards for service, practice of an art or science or become a Knight or possibly King or Queen. A i f Theatre is alive and well for the simple fact that Theatre majors are all willfully cor- rupt, well-read in the refine- ment of the stage and rarely know the whereabouts of their undergarments by the time the evening draws to a rather sluggish close. We are immoral through and through, oh but we deserve it. Rehearsals can be long, frustrating, relatively psy- chotic, but fun. Productions can be hectic and nerve rack- ing but satisfying., Sleep is rarely observed. ln our leisure time we enjoy slamming family and friends with verbal wit and insults. Virtually every aspect of our lives: sex, race, religion, and personal habits are left open to verbal attack by our peers. We invite the opinion of jew- ish friends and people who by not fault of their own are not from this country, yet we rarely treat them seriously and make jokes about noses, bagels, matching handbag and shoes, their facial simi- larities to certain reptiles and their alien status. We are just one big happy but slightly de- mented family. Theatre: the toughest job you'll ever love.

Under the leadership of Steve Quinn they accomplished many meaningful things: an in- creased activity fee, a revised alcohol policy, a noise policy, a reaflimiation of the Honor Code, and managing not to fall asleep during the some- times tedious meetings. They also managed not to draw blood during heated debates, which may be their biggest accomplishment. On the Social side of things, they visited beloit Col- lege as ambassadors, where they leamed that Rockford's housing system is not as bad as everyone things and that Beloities hate the food there.

Senate - 101 1986-87 was, for the news- paper staff, the year of the three T's: transition, trouble, and triumph. The transition occured dur- ing the first semester, as Edi- tor-ln-Chief Curt Anderson phased himself out. He stum- bled a bit while passing the torch, but Melissa Heath filled his shoes admirably for the remainder of the year. Trouble occured while we worked on the first issue of the new semester. Our aged typewriter fthe machine, not the personl died while giving birth to a bouncing baby by- line, and we were unable to produce an issue until the first of March.

Staff members ap- peared and disappeared only to reappear again - this made for intersting meetings. The newly decorated layout room provided inspiration for letting the creativity flow . Music and movie posters, hanger sculpture, finger- paints and a huge list of 4- letter deadline-meeting ex- pletives were all elements which stirred our creative juices. Lisa Miller handled the business end of the organiza- tion, and many other media heads - Melissa Heath, Renatta Eudey, Steve Quinn - all were helpful for last minute typing, picture inden- tification, and moral support.

Contrary to vicious rumors started by other halls, the motto was not chosen because al our la- diesjust want to get married and become homemakers, or by our men are willing to take out their tools and nail any- thing they can. We chose the motto because it reflects our dedication to turning the newly renovated and re- opened hall into a campus showpiece.

It's been put together and now you're finished scanning through it. Hopefully you enjoyed it. lt's a big responsibility to produce a year- book. The pictures on this page are some of the people who provided moral support in times of need fin whatever form - a hug, a beer, another problem to solve, a snide re- mark, a joke, or words of encouragementl. For all that they put up with and listened to, I think it's good that they are remembered here. Mrs. Delman, who is not pictured on this page, should be. Many times it was her support and encouragement which kept me on track, optimistic and focused about year- book and many other things. Also, I have to thank Advisor Dr. lvens and Josten's Rep Pat Lindeman for their enthusi- asm and the summer crew who united to finally get this beast to the mailman: Dave Reinhold, Kay Wilson, Melissa Heath, Deb Kyler, and Renatta Eudey. The theme of the book captures one of the purposes of college: to introduce people to the concept of change. For a conscious being, to exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating one- self endlessly. These words from the French philosopher Henri Bergson 1Creative Evolution, 19072 capture that feeling the best. Enjoy. Michelle Gearhart Editor Tim A ' ..
